Full Episode Mancini's Forbidden Bride
Transcript
00:00:00Master Marco had a widow named Ava Jackson, and she was carrying his child.
00:00:07I'm gonna bring my daughter-in-law home, where she belongs.
00:00:12My brother, I will protect your legacy, and I will protect our family.
00:00:18Who are you, really?
00:00:21A mere day she has swung with our family out of millions of dollars.
00:00:26I've wanted Luka for years, and then you waltz in and get his attention in weeks.
00:00:31If I can't have him, I'll destroy him now.
00:00:35Your life belongs to us.
00:00:38Give me one good reason why I should get rid of this baby.
00:00:43From this moment forward, I swear to you, nobody will ever hurt you again.
00:00:49I guess my brother had good reason to fall for her.
00:00:56Ava, you're so close.
00:01:00Is this a dream?
00:01:02If anyone sees us like this, they'll immediately see me first.
00:01:08Ava, I have fallen in love with you.
00:01:10I'm your brother's wife.
00:01:12We didn't do anything wrong, so why are you worried?
00:01:14If you knew I had feelings for your brother, would you hate me?
00:01:18I should never have let you go undercover on that damn business, dear.
00:01:36I never even got to say goodbye.
00:01:38Marco, my brother, I will protect your legacy.
00:01:42And I will protect our family.
00:01:50Hey, hey!
00:01:51Who are you?
00:01:52Which family do you work for?
00:01:54I just came to drop off the flowers.
00:01:56I didn't mean to retreat.
00:01:57Luka, look at her.
00:01:59She's hardly a threat.
00:02:07For the flowers.
00:02:09And for the interruption.
00:02:11My apologies.
00:02:13Senor Mancini.
00:02:23Mr. Marco had a widow named Ava Jackson.
00:02:27And she was carrying his child.
00:02:29Get the car.
00:02:31Let me bring my daughter-in-law home.
00:02:34Where she belongs.
00:02:36Don't worry, little one.
00:02:45We'll get through this together.
00:02:48Somehow.
00:02:52Well, looky here.
00:02:55Family Jinx is finally six feet under.
00:02:57Derek, have you lost your mind?
00:03:07What the hell was that?
00:03:08Don't tell me that you're actually planning on keeping that little parasite.
00:03:13This is Marco's baby.
00:03:16This is our child.
00:03:17Of course I'm keeping it.
00:03:19Ever since you got knocked up, you've done nothing to help this family.
00:03:24Emily, we've been struggling while you've been out here playing the grieving widow.
00:03:28Give me one good reason why I should get rid of this baby.
00:03:35Because you owe me.
00:03:37This is your fault.
00:03:40I dropped out of college for this family.
00:03:43I took five jobs.
00:03:44What more could you possibly want?
00:03:45There'll never be enough, Ava.
00:03:47You'll owe us till the day you die.
00:03:50Please, sweetheart.
00:03:53Think of your brother.
00:03:58I'm going to stomp out that little bastard right now.
00:04:01Send him straight to hell.
00:04:02So he can say hello to his deadbeat dad.
00:04:08Hex!
00:04:23What?
00:04:24What the hell is going on here?
00:04:25Who the hell are you came for?
00:04:26Ava, right?
00:04:27You were here this morning.
00:04:28Enough, Luca.
00:04:29She's hardly up there.
00:04:30Ma'am?
00:04:31I'm Helena Mancini.
00:04:32Marco's mother.
00:04:33That means I'm your baby's grandmother.
00:04:34The most powerful mafia family in the country.
00:04:38Marco was my oldest.
00:04:39He was my golden boy.
00:04:40I am so sorry that he concealed his identity from you.
00:04:53You have endured far too much suffering because of it.
00:05:10Hex!
00:05:11Hex!
00:05:12Hex!
00:05:13Hex!
00:05:14Hex!
00:05:15Hex!
00:05:16Hex!
00:05:17Mr.
00:05:18Mr.
00:05:19Is she buying this?
00:05:20Question my identity again and my men will make sure your other leg looks like your first
00:05:24one.
00:05:25Permanently.
00:05:27What are you doing?
00:05:28Derek, run!
00:05:30Maybe we should just go now.
00:05:32One moment here.
00:05:35Anyone who raises a hand to my daughter-in-law deserves to have their fingers snapped.
00:05:42One by one.
00:05:46Come along, Edna.
00:05:48Let's get you home.
00:05:50To your real home.
00:05:52I'm a real home.
00:06:15Welcome home, Signora Eva Mincini.
00:06:18This is where Marco lives.
00:06:22And now, it's your hand.
00:06:30Allow me to introduce you to your personal staff, Mrs. Mancini.
00:06:34Your nutritionist, nanny, maternity nurse.
00:06:36Each of the finest specialists money can acquire.
00:06:38We pledge your absolute dedication to your health and well-being, Signora.
00:06:45Your days of working multiple jobs are over, my dear.
00:06:49Ten million dollars is a little spending money.
00:06:53Well, thank you.
00:06:55But I can't accept this.
00:06:57I married Marco for love, not for his fortune.
00:07:01Practical and principled, my Marco truly had an eye for quality.
00:07:07There is one more member of the family that you need to properly meet.
00:07:13That would be Luca, Marco's younger brother.
00:07:15The brooding iceberg that you encountered this morning.
00:07:17Well, well, well, well.
00:07:19It's a flower girl from the cemetery.
00:07:23Luca!
00:07:25Come meet Eva, your brother's wife.
00:07:27Please, show her proper...
00:07:29Respect!
00:07:31You walk back into a Mancini household?
00:07:37You're either incredibly stupid or incredibly brave.
00:07:41Luca! Open this door immediately!
00:07:45Everyone around back, now!
00:07:49Who are you, really?
00:07:53I'll be watching your every move, your every breath.
00:08:01So tell me, who are you, really?
00:08:05My brother's dead, and you appear suddenly?
00:08:09Was this your end game all along?
00:08:11Our fortune?
00:08:13No, Marco's a Mancini.
00:08:15And now?
00:08:16I don't need this.
00:08:17I can walk right out those doors.
00:08:18You can't walk anywhere!
00:08:19She's not going anywhere!
00:08:24And get your hands off of her!
00:08:27She is carrying Marco's child.
00:08:29Oh, is she?
00:08:31How do we even know it is Marco's child?
00:08:33Convenient timing, wouldn't you say?
00:08:38Question me on you, Marco.
00:08:39Don't you dare question my child?
00:08:41That's my girl!
00:08:43Backbone of steel!
00:08:45Are you hurt?
00:08:48Luca!
00:08:49You are too rude!
00:08:50Ava is a good girl!
00:08:52You are falsely accusing her!
00:08:54Come on, sweetie.
00:08:55Mom's going to take you and get some clothes.
00:08:57Pay no attention to this fool.
00:09:03You may be fooling them,
00:09:05but I will find out about you and I will expose you.
00:09:11I'll be there!
00:09:25These are the latest European styles.
00:09:27Take your pick.
00:09:29I have plenty to wear.
00:09:30And these are much too expensive.
00:09:32Oh, not to worry.
00:09:33It's all on Luca's card.
00:09:35Treat my dear daughter-in-law well!
00:09:37well
00:09:58trying to be open and honest this way on my chest i don't want it
00:10:05I'd hate to be breaking, I promise
00:10:09Cause I owe you the truth that I...
00:10:13Oh, isn't she gorgeous?
00:10:19She's adequate.
00:10:24Always the tough guy act with you.
00:10:27Your eyes tell a different story, my son.
00:10:30Oh yes, this is just perfect.
00:10:32We will take one of everything in her size.
00:10:38Mom?
00:10:40Mom?
00:10:41That's too generous.
00:10:43Nonsense. We're family now.
00:10:47I am putting Luca's contact info into your phone.
00:10:51Reach out to him, whatever you need.
00:10:54And don't worry, he's actually quite a softie.
00:10:59Now, shall we continue shopping?
00:11:01Yes.
00:11:02Sir.
00:11:06Yes.
00:11:07Your mother has spent approximately 15 million dollars on Miss Jackson in the last week alone.
00:11:13God.
00:11:15In mere days, she has swooned the dollar family out of millions of dollars.
00:11:19She's clearly not an amateur.
00:11:21She's also been spending a substantial amount since marrying your brother to pay off her brother's debts.
00:11:27I want everything on her.
00:11:30Everything!
00:11:30If she is playing us for fools, then I will personally ensure that she regrets ever hearing the name Mancino.
00:11:38I'm sorry, ma'am.
00:11:47I hate to put extra stress on your shoulders, but we need to discuss the incredible cost of your husband's care and how the bill will be paid.
00:11:57Limited edition is perfect for you.
00:12:00Okay.
00:12:01Okay.
00:12:04Marco, you just focus on getting better, okay?
00:12:08Don't worry about the bills. I've got it covered.
00:12:19Your brother married Miss Jackson under false pretenses.
00:12:22She worked several jobs to make that money.
00:12:25And when your brother got sick, she worked to pay off his medical bills.
00:12:29And then day and night for his funeral.
00:12:32Did I get her all wrong?
00:12:38Hello?
00:12:46Mother is unwell. You need to return home immediately.
00:12:52What's wrong with mom? Is she hurt?
00:12:58Mom?
00:13:00What's going on?
00:13:02Ava, please don't be angry. We just had to get you here.
00:13:16What are you doing?
00:13:17Since you won't help us financially, we had to find another solution.
00:13:21Victor Fang. That old loan shark's willing to give us $80,000 just to marry you.
00:13:27Are you insane?
00:13:33I'm pregnant.
00:13:35Your husband's dead, Ava.
00:13:37Why keep his baby?
00:13:39Think about your family.
00:13:40Mr. Fang is waiting.
00:13:42Don't make this harder than it needs to be.
00:13:45You are not selling me off to Victor Fang!
00:13:48If she dies, how will you provide for this child?
00:13:53She's calling someone!
00:14:06Hello?
00:14:12Ava's in danger. We need to move. Go, go, go!
00:14:23You think someone's coming to save you?
00:14:40Who dares manhandle my future bride?
00:14:43Mr. Fang.
00:14:44Oh, it's such a pleasure. This is Ava, my sister, who we discussed.
00:14:49Ooh, two for the price of one, I see.
00:14:52Oh, it's just some dead guy's kid. If you want, I can take care of it right now.
00:14:56We can offer you a discount. I think $60,000 is more than fair.
00:15:00Pennies for somebody of your wealth.
00:15:02Derek, you're sick! I'm your sister! This is your nephew!
00:15:05My son's future is more important to me than that stupid little bastard of yours!
00:15:10Hey, hey! No need to be so rough with such a beautiful lady.
00:15:16Now, dear, just take this right here and it'll make things easier for everybody.
00:15:23Oh, okay! You're a little feisty, I see.
00:15:29Maybe you just need a little personal attention.
00:15:32No!
00:15:56Get out of my way!
00:15:57Get out of my way!
00:15:58I always knew Ava was trouble.
00:15:59Her husband's barely cold and she already has a gun out there.
00:16:02Who the hell do you think you are?
00:16:05I'm looking Mancini.
00:16:10Mancini, you idiot.
00:16:12You killed me.
00:16:13How did my sister get caught up with the likes of you?
00:16:16Ava is my brother's widow.
00:16:18And her baby is his only child.
00:16:21So it's true?
00:16:23Her baby's the heir to the Mancini family?
00:16:26Looks like your wife is pregnant too.
00:16:28Yes!
00:16:29Yes, it's true!
00:16:30I swear!
00:16:31We didn't know!
00:16:32Please, please!
00:16:33You will be dealt with.
00:16:35Tenfold.
00:16:36What you did to Ava.
00:16:40Get a doctor!
00:16:41Get a doctor!
00:16:42Get a car!
00:16:43And deal with him!
00:16:56He looks so proud!
00:16:57Ava啤�
00:17:23How's Ava? How's the baby?
00:17:25The doctors are examining her now.
00:17:31Doctor, how is she?
00:17:33Mrs. Mancini has a severe ankle fracture that it needs immediate surgery.
00:17:37The medication could cause a miscarriage.
00:17:40So we need to have consent before we can proceed.
00:17:44Do it! Whatever it takes!
00:17:46No!
00:17:49Doctor, is there any way to do the surgery without anesthesia?
00:17:53That's not medically advisable. The pain would be too excruciating.
00:17:59This baby is Marco's only child. His only heir.
00:18:04I can't risk losing it.
00:18:06I can handle the pain.
00:18:08Oh, my brave girl.
00:18:11God bless you.
00:18:13You know, I think somebody should be with her during the operation.
00:18:16The pain would be just too intense.
00:18:19I'll stay with her.
00:18:23How'd it go, Doctor?
00:18:24It's a success.
00:18:25You're a real trooper if you don't mind me saying.
00:18:29I guess my brother had good reason to fall for her.
00:18:30How'd it go, Doctor?
00:18:31It's a success.
00:18:32You're a real trooper if you don't mind me saying.
00:18:34I guess my brother had good reason to fall for her.
00:18:41How'd it go, Doctor?
00:18:42How'd it go, Doctor?
00:18:43How'd it go, Doctor?
00:18:44How'd it go, Doctor?
00:18:45How'd it go, Doctor?
00:18:46It's a success.
00:18:47You're a real trooper if you don't mind me saying.
00:18:50I guess my brother had good reason to fall for her.
00:18:57I guess...
00:18:58That's my mother.
00:19:13Señora Ava, please, let me help you.
00:19:17I know your stay at the hospital could not have been easy for you.
00:19:29That's why I'm having 30% of Mancini Group shares put into your name.
00:19:36No.
00:19:37Mom, I cannot accept that.
00:19:40We're family.
00:19:42It's what you deserve.
00:19:43Actually, I've been thinking about doing something else.
00:19:49I'd like to go back to work.
00:19:51Work?
00:19:53But you're pregnant.
00:19:55Oh, honey, if you need money, I'll just transfer some into your account.
00:19:57No, no, it's not about money.
00:20:00Marco always said that we should make our own way.
00:20:05And I want our child to know his father and know what he valued.
00:20:11And you are as stubborn as he was.
00:20:17Look, you're going to need protection.
00:20:20You'll accompany her.
00:20:24No, no, no, no, no.
00:20:25I can manage on my own.
00:20:30In the morning, 10 a.m., I'll be at the entrance.
00:20:33You know that I can talk to your manager for you.
00:20:45Make sure that they accommodate every need.
00:20:47No need.
00:20:48I don't want any special treatments.
00:20:50But thank you for that ride.
00:20:54You know, Ava, you do not need to be afraid of me.
00:20:58I can help you whenever you need.
00:21:00Why is she even back?
00:21:21That pregnant belly ruins the store's aesthetic.
00:21:22These pregnant women know exactly what they're doing.
00:21:26Hiding behind maternity protections.
00:21:29We can't legally fire her.
00:21:30Could you reassign her to the warehouse?
00:21:33Maybe move some stock around?
00:21:34And if something happens to her or the baby, you want that liability?
00:21:39We can't fire her, but we certainly can make her life difficult enough
00:21:43that she decides to quit on her own.
00:21:45And that concludes our quarterly revenue projections.
00:22:07Sir, forgive my directness, but are we here because you're concerned about your sister-in-law?
00:22:23Should I have the car brought around for your next meeting?
00:22:26Can I answer the meeting?
00:22:27I've been meaning to talk to you, given your, um, condition.
00:22:36I've been worried about potential liability issues.
00:22:39My pregnancy will not affect my performance.
00:22:42I do not intend to take advantage of company policy.
00:22:45Oh, glad to hear that.
00:22:49Then you won't mind proving your commitment.
00:22:51Sell one million dollars worth of merchandise by today.
00:22:55And I'll put all of my concerns to rest.
00:22:57I've seen your sales record.
00:23:00I know you can do it.
00:23:21Sir, half an hour until closing, and Mrs. Mancini has already surpassed the store's average monthly sales in a single day.
00:23:48But she's still a great deal short of the manager's impossible target.
00:23:56She did make it clear that she doesn't want any special treatment.
00:24:00But I have been neglecting my own wardrobe.
00:24:03And the Rossley family event will require several new suits.
00:24:06Now that you mention it, sir, your formal collection is missing quite a few essential items.
00:24:12And I should do some personal shopping, shouldn't I?
00:24:18Sir, may I assist you?
00:24:21Sir, this limited edition silk tie would go perfect with your complexion.
00:24:25Sir, I'd be happy to take your measurements, personally.
00:24:29Sir, as store manager, I would be honored to assist you with your needs myself.
00:24:35I'd actually like Miss Jackson to assist me.
00:24:38I hear her taste in men's fashion is exceptional.
00:24:45Shall we begin?
00:24:46Right this way, sir.
00:24:54All right, I just need to take your measurements.
00:24:57Whoa, what are you doing?
00:25:00You measure the bucket?
00:25:02I just needed you to take the jacket off.
00:25:05Well, we don't have much time.
00:25:11Should I ask you?
00:25:13I know.
00:25:14Now, imagine me like this.
00:25:26Okay.
00:25:27Mm-hmm.
00:25:28Ava, time is almost up.
00:25:52I did it.
00:26:11I saved my job.
00:26:12And I made a new sales record.
00:26:16There's no reason to thank me.
00:26:18I'm here to help.
00:26:19Whenever you need it.
00:26:20I hate to do this, but Ava Jackson, you're fired.
00:26:29What?
00:26:31No.
00:26:32I met your target and then some.
00:26:34Oh.
00:26:35That last sale?
00:26:37The one that put you over the top?
00:26:38That was actually mine.
00:26:39You're trying to steal my commission.
00:26:42Well, that won't work because everyone in this store saw me make that sale.
00:26:51I get it.
00:26:53You threatened them into silence.
00:26:54Well, that won't work either.
00:26:56Because the security cameras caught everything.
00:26:58Security cameras?
00:27:01What a horrible timing.
00:27:11Unfortunately, the security cameras are down for maintenance today.
00:27:15But fortunately, everyone here saw you destroy thousands of dollars worth of merchandise.
00:27:21You all saw Ava, didn't you?
00:27:24Yeah, we all saw it.
00:27:26So someone should call security.
00:27:28Better yet, call the police.
00:27:31I'm sorry, sir, but we're closed for the day.
00:27:41I heard that this store got trashed.
00:27:42I'm going to have to ask you to leave or I'm going to have to call the police.
00:27:45The police work for me.
00:27:47Are you?
00:27:49Luca Mancini?
00:27:54Hi.
00:27:56So, Luca?
00:27:56I'm going to have to ask you to leave.
00:28:38Please, stop. I admit it. I was wrong.
00:28:47Who really damaged the merchandise in this store?
00:28:49The items they you destroyed are worth over several millions of dollars.
00:28:52That's five years in prison.
00:28:58Hugo, what happened?
00:28:59There's nothing more talking about. We need to go.
00:29:01And by the way, you're fired.
00:29:03Let's go. Mom could destroy me.
00:29:08How dare that woman mess with my family?
00:29:15I will make sure, personally, that she suffers for it.
00:29:19You don't have to worry about that anymore.
00:29:22It's all taken care of, thanks to Luca.
00:29:24This door looked like a tornado hit it.
00:29:26Man who will be serving time in a jail cell.
00:29:29Justice is served.
00:29:30That's my boy.
00:29:35Sweetheart, I would like you to concentrate full-time on your pregnancy right now.
00:29:40All of this work drama can wait until after my grandchild is born safely.
00:29:46Yes, Mommy.
00:29:46I transferred five million dollars into your personal account for prenatal care.
00:29:52I am worried about the baby's well-being.
00:29:56Luca, I'd like you to take her to the doctor tomorrow for an exam.
00:30:01No.
00:30:02That's really not necessary.
00:30:03I have those meetings in Europe, so possibly I could have some more substituting for me.
00:30:11Yeah, and I'm perfectly capable of going by myself.
00:30:14I don't want to travel, Luca, with something so routine.
00:30:20It's decided.
00:30:22Cancel whatever meetings you have.
00:30:24I want you to take her.
00:30:26I will not stand for any more incidents.
00:30:29Yes, Mother.
00:30:30No.
00:30:31Ava Jackson, we're ready for you now.
00:30:47Dad should come too.
00:30:48We encourage partner participation.
00:30:51Oh, no.
00:30:52He's not.
00:30:56Would you prefer that I explain that I'm your dead husband's brother?
00:30:59That might be a bit awkward.
00:31:02Mr. and Mrs. Jackson, please come in when you're ready.
00:31:04Coming.
00:31:12If you could lift your top up slightly and lower your skirt band just a bit, we'll get started.
00:31:17First prenatal checkup together, I'm guessing.
00:31:32The baby looks perfectly healthy.
00:31:36Current length is about three inches with a strong heart rate.
00:31:41Is the baby moving?
00:31:42Yes, indeed.
00:31:43Yes, indeed.
00:31:44Look there.
00:31:46The little one's making faces.
00:31:49Quite the expressive child already.
00:31:56Dad, don't you want to come take a look?
00:31:59The baby's at 18 weeks now, developing beautifully.
00:32:10For home care, I recommend plenty of rest, nutrient-rich foods, and tactile bonding when possible.
00:32:20Tactile bonding?
00:32:21Yes.
00:32:22It's quite beneficial for fetal development.
00:32:25Come over here and place your hands on her belly.
00:32:27Doctor, is that really appropriate?
00:32:31What's inappropriate about it?
00:32:33This is what husbands do.
00:32:38Okay.
00:32:39I'm sorry, Dad.
00:32:53Did I hurt you?
00:32:54No, no.
00:32:55It just feels strange.
00:32:58Like this.
00:32:59Top to bottom.
00:33:01Left to right.
00:33:03Gentle strokes.
00:33:04Got it.
00:33:09Got it.
00:33:11Do this once daily, five to ten minutes each.
00:33:16You can sit up now.
00:33:17So, everything good with the baby?
00:33:27Any special instructions I should know about?
00:33:30Nothing.
00:33:31Nothing, no.
00:33:32The doctor did say that the baby is developing beautifully, and there's nothing to worry about.
00:33:37Good news, then.
00:33:42Before I forget, the Rossi family's daughter is having her birthday celebration next weekend, and we should all attend.
00:33:51The Rossi family?
00:33:52Technically, there are business rivals, but social niceties must be maintained.
00:34:00And she has had an embarrassing crush on Luca since they were little children.
00:34:05Mom, please.
00:34:06Miss Sofia Rossi has arrived unannounced.
00:34:10She shows up without calling?
00:34:13How gauche.
00:34:14Should we send Ava upstairs?
00:34:16No, no, it's fine.
00:34:17I'm here.
00:34:18We can just...
00:34:19Good evening, Mrs. Mancini.
00:34:24Luca!
00:34:25I came to personally deliver my birthday invitation.
00:34:27Okay.
00:34:31Luca, who is this woman?
00:34:34Luca, who is this woman?
00:34:35Hey, hey, hey.
00:34:36Rossi's family lack of manners never disappoints me.
00:34:40Luca Mancini, how dare you speak to me like that?
00:34:43Miss Rossi, right?
00:34:45I've heard so much about your family.
00:34:49I'm Ava, Marco's wife.
00:34:51Marco was Luca's brother.
00:34:56Oh, okay.
00:34:58I thought you were carrying Luca's baby.
00:35:00That's good, because I'm nice.
00:35:03I came all this way to bring you that, and this is how you welcome me?
00:35:07Don't disappoint me at the party, darling.
00:35:08Or something sharp.
00:35:12Yes.
00:35:22See if there's any connection between that pregnant woman and Luca.
00:35:25I'm not buying this whole sister-in-law act for one second.
00:35:29You got it.
00:35:29Oh, you look so handsome.
00:35:39Well, well, well.
00:35:41It looks like my stubborn son has good taste after all.
00:35:45Luca did an excellent job selecting this gown.
00:35:48It is perfect for you.
00:35:49Luca picked this?
00:35:51Uh-huh.
00:35:53I've never been anywhere this fancy before.
00:35:57I might embarrass you guys.
00:35:59Oh, don't even worry about it.
00:36:03You are my pride and joy.
00:36:05Besides, Luca will be with us the whole time,
00:36:08and he'll make sure everything runs smoothly.
00:36:10Luca, what about our shoes?
00:36:16How could you forget something so basic?
00:36:17Thanks.
00:36:29Oh.
00:36:29I can't.
00:36:33I can't.
00:36:34I can't.
00:36:35Right there.
00:36:51No problem.
00:36:52Just don't want you to fall.
00:37:05Who's that with Mr. Mancini?
00:37:11She's clearly pregnant.
00:37:13Do you think that's Mr. Mancini's baby?
00:37:15I had no idea he was even married.
00:37:17Must be his mistress.
00:37:18Oh, shameless.
00:37:19Everyone, I would like to introduce Ava Mancini,
00:37:24my eldest son Marco's wife.
00:37:26Marco's wife?
00:37:27She's stunning.
00:37:31This is my birthday party!
00:37:33I'm supposed to be the center of attention,
00:37:35not some pregnant woman!
00:37:39Well, maybe we shouldn't cause a scene here.
00:37:42It's fine.
00:37:43She's always like this.
00:37:45We didn't mean to steal your spotlight.
00:37:49An apology simply isn't enough.
00:37:51Since you're Luca's sister-in-law,
00:37:54why don't you entertain us all
00:37:55with a performance of some kind?
00:37:58Look, she used to deliver food for a living.
00:38:01Waitress, retail clerk, cleaning lady?
00:38:03What could someone with her background
00:38:05possibly perform for this grab?
00:38:18Ava, how does this piece go again?
00:38:21I'm completely lost here.
00:38:22I've forgotten everything that you've told me.
00:38:24There's no way she could actually play.
00:38:27She's just a nobody from nowhere.
00:38:29He has to be setting her up.
00:38:31Even Miss Mancini is smiling,
00:38:33just waiting for her to crash and burn.
00:38:35I was just playing for the baby.
00:38:56I think he recognized the music
00:39:00you were playing for us earlier.
00:39:01Well, maybe you should teach me sometime properly.
00:39:06I'd like to play for you both.
00:39:11Because Mom did tell me to look after you,
00:39:13so it's the least that I can do.
00:39:15One, two, three, and there.
00:39:31I think it's the least that I can do.
00:40:01They're definitely more than in-laws.
00:40:06Look at the way they play together.
00:40:09If I can't have him, I'll destroy them now.
00:40:18Yeah, I always enjoy these type of events.
00:40:20Me too.
00:40:21That habit's built on.
00:40:22From Miss Russell.
00:40:24Your accompaniments.
00:40:25Cheers.
00:40:30Sir.
00:40:31That drink is almost certainly drugged.
00:40:33Obviously.
00:40:33Is the Rossi family making a move against us?
00:40:36These tensions have been simmering for years.
00:40:39Should we respond preemptively?
00:40:45Do nothing.
00:40:46You just need to focus on protecting Ava.
00:40:50We'll see what they have planned.
00:40:57Darling, you look tired.
00:40:59I don't think all this excitement is good for your condition.
00:41:03Why don't you try to find Luca and let's get you home.
00:41:08Sophia's bedroom.
00:41:31Why is Luca's phone in there?
00:41:34And why am I jealous?
00:41:36I've wanted Luca for years, and then you waltz in and get his attention in weeks.
00:41:57You won't look so innocent when everyone sees you in bed next to your dead husband's pride.
00:42:07This isn't exactly how you wanted it.
00:42:09Not at all.
00:42:10This isn't convincing.
00:42:12Unbutton their clothes.
00:42:12Sal, position them closer together.
00:42:22Make it look more intimate.
00:42:29Perfect.
00:42:30Let's go.
00:42:30Our masterpiece is complete.
00:42:32Now we just have to bring in an audience.
00:42:34I expected much more than just this juvenile prank from my business partner.
00:42:48Eva, wake up.
00:43:00Eva.
00:43:01Eva.
00:43:02Eva.
00:43:03Eva.
00:43:04Eva.
00:43:05Oh, my God.
00:43:08Shh.
00:43:13Oh, God.
00:43:16Oh, my God.
00:43:19What happened to us?
00:43:25This is bad.
00:43:34Oh.
00:43:35If anyone sees us like this, they'll immediately assume the worst.
00:43:43Luca, wake up.
00:43:48Okay.
00:43:54Jesus.
00:43:56People are coming.
00:43:58You're acting like we had some tour de faire.
00:44:00We didn't do anything wrong, so why are you worrying?
00:44:02I'm your late brother's widow, and I'm carrying his child.
00:44:06If anyone sees us like this, they'll...
00:44:08The Mancini family name won't be destroyed.
00:44:10Okay.
00:44:12Okay.
00:44:14Oh, so Mancini name is what you're concerned about, is that it?
00:44:17Hey, hey, hey.
00:44:19You haven't answered me.
00:44:20It's okay.
00:44:24Thank you all so much for coming today to celebrate me.
00:44:28But I do have some rather important information to share with you all.
00:44:33I have just discovered Luca Mancini in a rather compromising position with his brother's pregnant widow.
00:44:43In my bedroom.
00:44:52Can you let go?
00:44:56They're coming.
00:44:58Come here.
00:45:01Here, I got this one.
00:45:03Wait, stop.
00:45:04Watch, they're right there.
00:45:05If we walk through that door, we'll walk right into their trap.
00:45:08Okay, then what's your brilliant idea?
00:45:10Yes, ma'am?
00:45:12Um, we...
00:45:13Let's go through the window.
00:45:14We can climb down.
00:45:15Whoa, whoa, whoa, no.
00:45:17I'm afraid of heights.
00:45:18You're what?
00:45:21Sorry, I just didn't realize the great Luca Mancini had fears like the rest of us.
00:45:27Yeah, you know, that's one of my fears, and I don't advertise it, so...
00:45:31Deal with it.
00:45:32What if that helps to you?
00:45:34I don't see.
00:45:35Where are these cheaters you promised to expose?
00:45:38Shh!
00:45:39Keep it down, you idiot.
00:45:40You don't want to wake them.
00:45:41I mean, we don't want to alert them to give them a chance to escape.
00:45:46They're coming.
00:45:47Let's go.
00:45:49Okay.
00:45:50Hurry, hurry.
00:45:55No, no, no!
00:45:56Don't run!
00:45:57We have to catch them in the act first!
00:45:58Are you insane?
00:45:59Your house is on fire!
00:46:00Who cares about the gossip?
00:46:01Let's get out of here.
00:46:02No, no, no!
00:46:03No!
00:46:04I'll help everyone leave afterwards, but first let's get a look at them!
00:46:06Come on!
00:46:07What the hell do you think you're doing?
00:46:08I am so sorry.
00:46:09It was an accident.
00:46:10Please.
00:46:11You okay?
00:46:12Yeah.
00:46:13You okay?
00:46:14Yeah.
00:46:15The staff prepared everything for you, and there's hot water in there.
00:46:16There's hot water in there.
00:46:17There's hot water in there.
00:46:18And what about you?
00:46:19And what about you?
00:46:20We'll just be out here.
00:46:21We'll just be out here.
00:46:22Taking guard for you.
00:46:23You okay?
00:46:24You okay?
00:46:25Yeah.
00:46:26Now go on.
00:46:27It's warm.
00:46:28Thanks.
00:46:29Thanks.
00:46:30Thanks.
00:46:31Thanks.
00:46:33Thanks.
00:46:34Thanks.
00:46:35Thanks,
00:46:40How did you do you know?
00:46:42Are you okay?
00:46:43Here is your walk.
00:46:44You okay?
00:46:45I'm fine.
00:46:46You okay?
00:46:47Yeah.
00:46:48The staff prepared everything for you, and there's hot water in there.
00:46:50And what about you?
00:46:51We'll just be out here taking guard for you.
00:46:54Now go on.
00:46:55It's warm.
00:46:56Thanks.
00:47:01What is it?
00:47:29Uh, Miss Rossi is demanding to see you, sir. She's quite insistent.
00:47:34Okay, let her in.
00:47:39You set off the fire alarms and completely scared away my guests! You've ruined my birthday celebration!
00:47:46Hey! You will take full responsibility for what you did. The drugging, the setup, all of it.
00:48:02And if you ever threaten Ava again, directly or indirectly, I will end the Rossi family from this city permanently.
00:48:11You're a monster. That's her in there, isn't it? Ava? Your dead brother's wife? How dare you?
00:48:18Get your hands off of me! Do you know who I am?
00:48:25Ava?
00:48:37Ava?
00:48:38Ava?
00:48:40Ava!
00:48:41It's me, Michael.
00:48:42Ava?
00:48:43Ava, you're so close. Is this a dream?
00:48:52Ava, I'm your brother's wife.
00:48:56Luca, I'm your brother's wife.
00:49:03So, this isn't a dream.
00:49:05I, um, Ava, I've had feelings for you for so long.
00:49:12I've tried to keep them a secret, but I, I can't keep them any longer.
00:49:17And now you know my two secrets and by family code,
00:49:21I, I have to silence the person who discovers my weaknesses.
00:49:28Oh my God, let me go.
00:49:29No, no, no, but I can't silence you because, Ava, I have fallen in love with you.
00:49:35Oh God, that's not funny.
00:49:38Look, I've never been more serious.
00:49:42Look, Ava, every time I come around you, I, I feel myself slipping.
00:49:49And my feelings have crossed that line months ago.
00:49:51Stop, stop, just stop.
00:49:57I'll forget this ever happened.
00:49:58No, Ava, I want to take care of you and the baby for the rest of my life.
00:50:14Luca, I, I love you.
00:50:18But you can't let me in.
00:50:21Luca, what's going on?
00:50:22Why isn't Ava home?
00:50:26What's going on here?
00:50:27Mom, I think...
00:50:28Nothing.
00:50:30My clothes were dirty, so Luca prepared for me a shower and clean clothes.
00:50:35Oh, thank goodness.
00:50:38The last thing we need is for you to catch pneumonia.
00:50:40Yeah, I know.
00:50:42Ava, I think that we should probably...
00:50:44Luca, it's almost Marco's birthday.
00:50:50Let's visit his grave.
00:50:53He is your brother and my husband.
00:50:56And we don't want to betray his memory.
00:50:59Oh, you poor thing.
00:51:01You must be utterly exhausted.
00:51:03Let's get you home.
00:51:05These Rossis are nothing but trouble.
00:51:07We need to accelerate our plans against them.
00:51:10Let's go.
00:51:11Let's go.
00:51:20Marco.
00:51:23I miss you.
00:51:28I feel so lost without you.
00:51:34Would you hate me
00:51:35if you knew I had feelings for your brother.
00:51:43Ava, are you in there?
00:51:52Ava, are you there?
00:51:55I meant everything that I said today.
00:51:58And I want to help you get through this,
00:52:00and I want to protect you.
00:52:03Marco and Mom,
00:52:04and they would both understand.
00:52:08Ava, I love you.
00:52:24I understand how difficult this is.
00:52:28Your loyalty for Marco,
00:52:30and your concern for my mother,
00:52:32that is the compassion that,
00:52:34that's the reason I fell in love with you.
00:52:40There's 30 million dollars on this credit card,
00:52:42and the pin number is your birthday.
00:52:44I've been through epsom flows,
00:52:47or this goodbye felt like the end.
00:52:50Can't deny, I can't pretend,
00:52:53that this fire burns again.
00:52:57Illuminated rain.
00:53:00I feel alive,
00:53:02one more time our worlds collide.
00:53:05Watch them circling in the sky.
00:53:08Wait for me.
00:53:10We are magnetic sites.
00:53:11I'm falling out of you.
00:53:13Wait for me.
00:53:14No one loves me like you do.
00:53:18Thought that you and I were through,
00:53:20but...
00:53:21The baby's development is right on track.
00:53:29Not perfect, actually.
00:53:33Has your husband been doing those tactile bonding exercises I showed you?
00:53:37Doctor,
00:53:38actually, he's not exactly right.
00:53:41We don't need to be embarrassed.
00:53:44The way that man looks at you is something special.
00:53:46Now face each other.
00:53:53Helena, take her hands.
00:53:56Deep inhale.
00:53:58And lean into each other,
00:54:00using each other's weight to support you.
00:54:04Come up.
00:54:10On the exhale, do a gentle squat.
00:54:16And then share and embrace.
00:54:22Do you have any hope?
00:54:29Who exactly are you welcoming home, dear daughter-in-law?
00:54:34I was just talking nonsense.
00:54:46Miss, flowers from Mr. Mancini.
00:55:16I wonder if he's doing well out there.
00:55:45Hello?
00:55:46Ava?
00:55:47I'm outside at the gate.
00:55:49Security won't let me in.
00:55:56Mom, what are you doing here?
00:55:57I missed you terribly, sweetheart.
00:55:59I just wanted to check on you and the baby.
00:56:06Look.
00:56:07Fresh oranges.
00:56:09Just pick today.
00:56:10You need the vitamin C for the baby's development.
00:56:13I'm on a very carefully monitored diet.
00:56:16You wasted a trip.
00:56:21Look.
00:56:22I know that you haven't forgiven me.
00:56:25But you have to understand.
00:56:27Derek and Sarah, I mean, they would have thrown me out on the street if I didn't go along with them.
00:56:33I mean, what choice did I have?
00:56:34That's not rehash the past.
00:56:38Of course.
00:56:39I picked these up for my grandchild.
00:56:43Aren't they precious?
00:56:44That baby that you're carrying is my family, too.
00:56:50I love them so much already.
00:56:53Look, I stood up for you to Derek and he threw me out.
00:56:58I had absolutely nothing left.
00:57:10This card contains all the money I've saved.
00:57:12It's yours.
00:57:14But you have to promise me that you'll use it for yourself.
00:57:16Not a penny goes to Derek.
00:57:19Okay.
00:57:20I swear it.
00:57:21Not a cent to him.
00:57:23How much money are we talking about?
00:57:24$10,000.
00:57:27$10,000?
00:57:29That's it.
00:57:31You're carrying the Mancini heir and all they've given you is $10,000.
00:57:36That is my personal savings.
00:57:39I haven't asked the Mancinis for a cent.
00:57:41Okay, this is completely unacceptable.
00:57:45Everyone in this city knows that the Mancini's are loaded beyond belief.
00:57:50Come on.
00:57:51You need to milk this situation for all it's worth.
00:57:59Honey, I'm...
00:58:01I'm only thinking about your future and your security.
00:58:07I mean, what happens if they throw you out once the baby arrives?
00:58:11I didn't marry into the Mancini family for their fortune.
00:58:15And you mention their money one more time, you'll never see me again.
00:58:20Understood?
00:58:21I understand, sweetheart.
00:58:23Mom won't say another word about it.
00:58:30$10,000?
00:58:32That's it?
00:58:33That's pocket change for them!
00:58:35She must be holding down on us.
00:58:39That ungrateful little brat!
00:58:42I tried everything!
00:58:44I couldn't squeeze another penny out of her.
00:58:46She's swimming in Mancini money, and we're here struggling.
00:58:49After what they did to my leg, I should be getting millions!
00:58:52Yes!
00:58:53A few million?
00:58:54It's just the beginning.
00:58:56We've been thinking too small.
00:58:57I have good reason to believe that we have a common enemy.
00:59:12I think we should work together.
00:59:14Miss Mancini has been sleeping well, sir.
00:59:22She got the prenatal vitamins you sent her, and they effectively reduced her morning sickness.
00:59:27And this morning, she ate half a slice of French toast, a half portion of scrambled eggs, two cherry tomatoes, and a glass of milk.
00:59:35And after some gentle persuasion from your mother, she also had a piece of steak for the iron content.
00:59:41Well, it's good to hear that she's eating healthy.
00:59:43And then she finally attended the prenatal concert we arranged, and afterward she spoke with one of the pianists about the compositions.
00:59:51Is it man or woman?
00:59:52Sir, per your instructions, they were all talented women.
00:59:55No exceptions.
00:59:57And she actually mentioned you today.
01:00:00While making hot chocolate, she said to the chef,
01:00:02It's never quite as good as Luca's.
01:00:05She always knows what to say.
01:00:09I'll make her a batch right now, and we can have it delivered.
01:00:12Great.
01:00:12I'll arrange a private courier right away.
01:00:20Luca is almost finished with his business.
01:00:22Hopefully, he will make it home in time for the birth.
01:00:27Mrs. Menchie, it's terrible news.
01:00:30Luca's jet has been destroyed amid a flight.
01:00:31He...
01:00:31He's missing.
01:00:33What?
01:00:34I want every detail immediately.
01:00:36Yes, ma'am.
01:00:39Ava, breathe.
01:00:40Breathe.
01:00:41Don't panic.
01:00:42Don't panic.
01:00:42Luca has always been lucky.
01:00:44He's going to be fine.
01:00:45He will.
01:00:51Hello?
01:00:51I have Luca Mancini.
01:00:53Twenty million dollars cash for his safe return.
01:00:56No police.
01:00:58No family.
01:00:59No security team.
01:01:00You come alone, or he dies.
01:01:03You have 24 hours.
01:01:04Oh, Ava, are you okay?
01:01:11Who was that?
01:01:12It's nothing, nothing.
01:01:14I'm just dizzy.
01:01:16The baby.
01:01:18So I'm going to go upstairs and lie down.
01:01:20Okay.
01:01:21Money first.
01:01:40Yes!
01:01:50Ow!
01:01:54You okay?
01:01:57Derek?
01:01:59Where's Luke?
01:02:01Where's Luke?
01:02:02Don't worry though, Luke.
01:02:04Worry about yourself.
01:02:10Yeah, with her as our bargaining chip, we can demand a hundred million dollars from your man, James.
01:02:31Easy.
01:02:33Mom.
01:02:34Mom, why are you doing this? Poor family. Why have you always treated me so badly?
01:02:40Family?
01:02:45You are so pathetic!
01:02:48You just don't get it, do you?
01:02:50You're just some brat that Mom found on the street that she brought home to be our living servant.
01:02:56You're an orphan!
01:02:59Not even your birth mother wanted you.
01:03:02Yeah, we brought you in.
01:03:05We fed you.
01:03:06We clothed you.
01:03:08And in return, your life belongs to us.
01:03:12Oh, and by the way, since we're being honest with each other right now, my whole leg injury, it's kind of my fault.
01:03:19But it was a great excuse to get you to basically give up your life and be our slave all these years.
01:03:28You know what?
01:03:29Even though you're nothing but a bunch of orphan trash, you're actually very beautiful.
01:03:41So since we're giving up this whole brother-sister roleplay thing, I don't want to do something that I've wanted to do for a very, very long time.
01:03:56Stop, Derek! You're sick!
01:03:59Shhh!
01:04:03Now let's just keep that pretty little mouth of yours quiet, shall we?
01:04:12You fucking bitch!
01:04:26Oh god, you're alive! You're okay!
01:04:47My plane blew up!
01:04:49Anybody gets kidnapped, this isn't a coincidence!
01:04:51Who are you looking for?
01:04:53Answer me!
01:04:56Oh god!
01:04:58Hey, make them stop!
01:05:00He's your brother!
01:05:01You'll kill him!
01:05:02You just told me I'm an orphan, so he's not really my little brother.
01:05:06You better tell me who your accomplices are, or he stops breathing.
01:05:10You two should be ashamed of yourselves.
01:05:13Can I see the way that you look at each other?
01:05:15He's your dead husband's brother!
01:05:18You're betraying Marco and his mother!
01:05:23Are you alright?
01:05:24Hey, hey, hey, hey!
01:05:25You okay?
01:05:26Yeah, yeah.
01:05:28Your mom has been so kind to me, and I dragged her into this mess.
01:05:32It's on my floor.
01:05:34Your mother-in-law took you in.
01:05:37She treated you like a daughter.
01:05:38She gave you everything that you could ever want, and this is how you repay her?
01:05:42By falling for her younger son?
01:05:43Have you already forgotten Marco is his grave?
01:05:48What is wrong with you?
01:05:50I want her as my daughter-in-law.
01:05:55First my eldest son's wife, and now my youngest.
01:05:59Objective then, and you'll lose your tongue.
01:06:05You couldn't have Luca, so you decided to try and kill him?
01:06:20Good thing he changed his flight plan at the last minute, huh?
01:06:26Cross the Mancini's, and you cease to exist.
01:06:31Release me!
01:06:33My father will burn your empire to the ground!
01:06:35Don't you wonder why my son was gone all that time?
01:06:44Your family's power?
01:06:47Already gone.
01:06:49You two have risked everything to be together.
01:07:06I can see that Luca's devotion is absolute.
01:07:12You have endured far too much pain.
01:07:16It's time to let him take care of you.
01:07:19But, Marco, I made a promise to him.
01:07:24And Marco would want your happiness above all else.
01:07:31He will rest easier.
01:07:34Knowing that we are protecting you and your child.
01:07:38From this moment forward, I swear to you, nobody will ever hurt you again.
01:07:51Luca, you're bleeding.
01:07:56You gotta keep this clean.
01:07:58Yeah.
01:07:59Infections can get nasty.
01:08:01So you're saying that you care about me then?
01:08:07Shut up.
01:08:09Of course I care.
01:08:14Alright.
01:08:16Wait.
01:08:17I think he likes you.
01:08:18Yeah.
01:08:19I think he likes you.
01:08:32Yeah.
01:08:33Ava.
01:08:34I will take care of you.
01:08:35And the baby.
01:08:36Just like my brother would have.
01:08:37I brought some fruit for you and the-
01:08:40Luca.
01:08:41She's pregnant.
01:08:42Be gentle with her.
01:08:43I think maybe you should get some less.
01:08:44Okay.
01:08:45I think maybe you should get some less.
01:08:46Okay.
01:08:47Oh, wait.

01:10:54Never been together.
01:10:57Then how could she be?
01:10:59The child is my late son's, Luca's brother.
01:11:06You okay?

01:11:39Hey.
01:11:43Hi.
01:11:44How you feeling?
01:11:45Good.
01:11:46You want something to eat?
01:11:48Okay.
01:11:49Okay.
01:11:49I thought this hospital was the best that money can buy.
01:11:56I guess I was misinformed.
01:11:59Luca.
01:12:01They're doing the best they can.
01:12:03That's not terrorizing stuff.
01:12:07Luca.
01:12:08I just don't want to see you in any more pain.
01:12:12You would tear me apart.
01:12:13Luca.
01:12:13I don't want to see you in any more pain.
01:12:14I know.
01:12:14I don't want to see you in any more pain.
01:12:15I don't want to see you in any more pain.
01:12:16I don't want to see you in any more pain.
01:12:21Luca.
01:12:21Luca!
01:12:21Remember to control yourself, son.
01:12:27Let her recover first.
01:12:28Here.
01:12:28There you go.
01:12:30And have you decided what to name this little prince?
01:12:41Marco.
01:12:43Marco.
01:12:45I want to name him Marco.
01:13:00Look, little one.
01:13:12It's your daddy.
01:13:15Your real daddy.
01:13:21It's remarkable how much he looks like.
01:13:24Marco.
01:13:26I thought you had all the answers.
01:13:29And that you handle everything.
01:13:32And I promise to protect mom.
01:13:35The business.
01:13:37And your family.
01:13:41Our family.
01:13:45You know Marco used to say that if you wanted to think about somebody you would watch the dandelion.
01:13:52And if the seeds blew out easily then they were thinking of you too.
01:13:57I hear you on the radio.
01:14:03On the radio.
01:14:07This is Mancini's wedding gifts.
01:14:13The finest villas.
01:14:17The Mancini family jewelry.
01:14:19And, finally, 30% ownership of Mancini group holdings.
01:14:20Miss, Mrs. Mancini's wedding gifts, the finest villas, the Mancini family jewelry, and finally, 30% ownership of Mancini group holdings, effective immediately.
01:14:37This ring has been in the Mancini family for seven generations, passed from mother to daughter-in-law.
01:14:55Thank you, woman.
01:15:02A perfect fit.
01:15:07Now, I need the two of you to focus on your top priority.
01:15:22Um, top priority?
01:15:24Giving me a granddaughter to play with little Marco Jr.
01:15:30Mom, we're at a church, and there are witnesses.
01:15:37God bless you.
01:15:38Here we go.
