00:00:00Cheers, may be full surprises.
00:00:05Ho, ho, ho!
00:00:07I have a gift for you.
00:00:09Jessica, you have inherited this mansion,
00:00:12along with your father's business empire
00:00:14and assets worth over a billion dollars.
00:00:16I just need a signature from you.
00:00:18Oh, and a hundred and five million dollars in cash.
00:00:25We're rich!
00:00:27Let me hold on to you for your baby.
00:00:30You know, my whole life,
00:00:32I grew up in foster care,
00:00:35moving from place to place,
00:00:37and now I finally have a place that I can call home.
00:00:41It was real great to win the jackpot.
00:00:43Now my only wish is to reunite with my mother.
00:00:47You bastard child.
00:00:49You will never reunite with your mother.
00:00:52We made sure that that whore is gone forever.
00:00:55My mother is gone because of you?
00:00:57Well, we had a little help from James Thornton,
00:01:00the most powerful man in the Thornton family.
00:01:04Time for you to go back to your poor little country, sis.
00:01:08Yes, mother?
00:01:09USCIS.
00:01:10Your visa expired years ago.
00:01:12You're being deported.
00:01:13What? No, there must be some mistake.
00:01:15Adrian, didn't you help me file my immigration paperwork?
00:01:19Whoops.
00:01:20Well, I guess I screwed up.
00:01:22What?
00:01:24Hey, baby.
00:01:25Adrian, are you cheating on me?
00:01:28With her?
00:01:29Choose the right side, babe.
00:01:31You'll never win against them.
00:01:33That's true.
00:01:34Um, according to the terms of the will,
00:01:36non-citizens are not eligible to inherit the estate.
00:01:40Everything will pass to your next of kin,
00:01:42Lisa and Kristen Miller.
00:01:44You thought you could get rich overnight?
00:01:48Keep dreaming.
00:01:50Seriously?
00:01:51Bon voyage, half sis.
00:02:00The boss is urgent.
00:02:01They're about to deport a woman named Jessica Miller.
00:02:05Jessica Miller?
00:02:08It's her.
00:02:17Oh, thank God you're alive.
00:02:18She's so beautiful and kind.
00:02:20The girl I've always dreamed of.
00:02:23She saved my life once.
00:02:24I owe her.
00:02:29Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
00:02:31Jessica?
00:02:32Do I know you?
00:02:33She doesn't remember me.
00:02:40I'm Daniel.
00:02:41You're a lawyer.
00:02:42Just pretend we know each other.
00:02:43If I can get you out of here.
00:02:45She's spoken to the judge.
00:02:46And Ms. Miller should be released immediately.
00:02:49Wait, wait, you can't deport her.
00:02:52She is about to marry a U.S. citizen.
00:02:56Who's the lucky guy?
00:02:57I am.
00:02:59I marry her.
00:03:00A fake marriage won't save her.
00:03:01Our marriage is real.
00:03:02Mm-hmm.
00:03:03Yeah.
00:03:04A hundred percent real.
00:03:05Prove it then.
00:03:06That's it?
00:03:07You call that a kiss?
00:03:08You need more proof, officer?
00:03:09Look.
00:03:10This guy is a lawyer.
00:03:11Just in the most important place.
00:03:12You need more proof, officer?
00:03:13Look.
00:03:14To some of the most important families in town.
00:03:15And if you don't let her go, they'll make sure you lose your damn job.
00:03:18That's it? You call that a kiss?
00:03:33Need more proof, officer?
00:03:34Look, this guy is a lawyer to some of the most important families in town.
00:03:39And if you don't let her go, then he'll make sure you lose your damn job.
00:03:43Fine, you can have her.
00:03:45Thank you, officer.
00:03:48I think we're good.
00:03:53It's not over.
00:03:57We'll be checking your marital status and conducting interviews.
00:04:00And there are a few very specific requirements you should know.
00:04:04Make sure you two are staying in the same house and sleeping in the same bed.
00:04:08Or it's game over.
00:04:12Well.
00:04:12Thank you for the rescue.
00:04:18Oh, it's no problem.
00:04:22But, um, Daniel, would you, would you marry me?
00:04:29Oh, Jessica, I've waited for this moment for five years.
00:04:32I mean, it would only be a contract marriage.
00:04:35But once I get my green card, I'll inherit my father's business empire and I'll share half of it with you.
00:04:44Even your misunderstanding looks so cute.
00:04:46I only want you, Jessica.
00:04:47But before I get my green card, you're going to have to help me deal with my stepsister and her mom.
00:04:56They're trying to get rid of me.
00:04:57And they've already stolen my fortune.
00:05:00And they made my mother disappear.
00:05:04Deal.
00:05:05What?
00:05:08That's it?
00:05:11This lily stands for loyalties and new beginnings.
00:05:15Something that I want with you.
00:05:17Now I know it's rushed.
00:05:20But I promise you, I will buy you a proper ring soon.
00:05:24From now on, let's make every Christmas our own, fill it, full of memories.
00:05:50You, you can't do this!
00:05:52Jess, it's okay.
00:05:53Just wait here.
00:05:54I'll handle it.
00:06:00What?
00:06:02Why are you helping that girl?
00:06:04Kristen Miller is our ally.
00:06:06And she wants her the hell out of this picture.
00:06:08Too late, Dad.
00:06:09We already got married.
00:06:11Are you insane?
00:06:13Did you forget you're supposed to marry Ashley?
00:06:18Daniel Thornton.
00:06:20My mother is gone because of you?
00:06:22Well, we had a little help from James Thornton.
00:06:26The most powerful man in the Thornton family.
00:06:29Boy, I recognize that face from the newspaper.
00:06:33That was James Thornton.
00:06:35From the Thornton family.
00:06:37The family responsible for my mother's disappearance.
00:06:40Stop telling me what I can and cannot do.
00:06:46She saved my life.
00:06:47I owe it to her.
00:06:48Roll the hell up, Daniel.
00:06:50You need to remember your position as the heir to our family.
00:06:53And you need to divorce that girl.
00:06:56Now, I'm doing this to clean your mess up.
00:06:59Just leave us alone.
00:07:00Sorry about that.
00:07:10Is your name Daniel Thornton?
00:07:14Yeah.
00:07:16The Thornton family are responsible for the disappearance of my mother.
00:07:21I have been searching for her my entire life.
00:07:25Jess.
00:07:26No.
00:07:27I can explain.
00:07:27I'm not marrying Thornton.
00:07:29Wait, wait, wait, Jess, Jess.
00:07:31I'm not who you think I am.
00:07:33I have nothing to do with that family.
00:07:34Oh, really?
00:07:34Because your name is right here.
00:07:36On the marriage certificate.
00:07:39I share the last name as Thornton.
00:07:41And I am not one of them.
00:07:42Thornton is a common man.
00:07:44Just an ordinary guy.
00:07:45Really?
00:07:46Well, I don't believe you.
00:07:47I saw you talking to James Thornton.
00:07:50Is he your father?
00:07:54Is he your father?
00:07:55No, he's not my father.
00:07:57He was threatening to drive you out of the country.
00:07:58And I was not going to have anything to do with it.
00:08:00Jess, I'm on your side.
00:08:03You're not one of them.
00:08:05I'm sorry.
00:08:09It's okay.
00:08:10Don't worry about it.
00:08:11Well, you have a nice apartment.
00:08:18Welcome.
00:08:21Is that your Labrador?
00:08:22That looks exactly like mine.
00:08:24I got mine as a Christmas present when I was nine.
00:08:26No way.
00:08:27I got mine as a Christmas present when I was nine.
00:08:29That's crazy.
00:08:30Jess, we're going to have to sleep in the same room together just in case immigration ambush us.
00:08:39Yeah, but are you sure you're okay sleeping on the carpet?
00:08:42I mean, you've done so much for me already and I just...
00:08:45Jess, please.
00:08:46I insist.
00:08:47We made a deal, remember?
00:08:49I also want to thank you for giving me the chance to get rich.
00:08:54It's okay, Daniel.
00:08:56It's okay, Daniel.
00:09:24No, no, no, no, no.
00:09:33I was just passing by and just...
00:09:37Do you need anything?
00:09:39I was joking.
00:09:40Yeah, could you pass me the towel that's just hanging up next to the door?
00:09:46Yeah, sure, sure.
00:09:51Thanks.
00:09:54Oh, my God.
00:10:02What?
00:10:03I just got fired.
00:10:04What?
00:10:07Oh, wait, Jess, let me go with you.
00:10:12Yeah.
00:10:13Sam, please, don't fire me.
00:10:26I'm sorry, Jess, but your immigration issue put us in a tough spot.
00:10:32I worked for this company for years.
00:10:35I'm sorry, Jess.
00:10:36There's nothing I can do.
00:10:40I'm sorry.
00:10:40Look who's here.
00:10:47Someone who just got fired.
00:10:50This suits you.
00:10:51It was you.
00:10:57I should have known you were behind this.
00:10:59I'm not going to let you stay here and ruin things.
00:11:01I'm going to take away everything you have, sister.
00:11:08You just made a big mistake, sir.
00:11:10Who are you?
00:11:11My name is Daniel Thornton, son of James Thornton, the chairman of Thornton Enterprise.
00:11:18Oh, Mr. Thornton.
00:11:22Welcome.
00:11:23What brings you here?
00:11:26Well, I have some good news for you.
00:11:30Jessica Miller?
00:11:30She's just closed a billion-dollar deal.
00:11:34Take a look.
00:11:39Oh, my God.
00:11:47It's surreal.
00:11:53Absolutely.
00:11:55With her hard work and dedication, she's made this possible.
00:11:58It's a real shame you're going to lose such a valuable employee.
00:12:02Oh, Mr. Thornton, I have made a huge mistake.
00:12:09Jessica will stay.
00:12:12Good.
00:12:13And, uh, make sure nobody knows we have this conversation.
00:12:22Jessica!
00:12:23You should have told me!
00:12:28What are you talking about, Sam?
00:12:30Jessica!
00:12:31You secured a huge deal for the company!
00:12:35Did you not just fire her?
00:12:37I changed my mind.
00:12:40Jessica's staying.
00:12:41Actually, she's being promoted to sales manager.
00:12:46Can't afford to lose someone as valuable as, like, her?
00:12:50Great.
00:12:51Thanks, Sam.
00:12:53This is not over.
00:12:59I can't believe it.
00:13:00Jessica kept her job, and she gets promoted.
00:13:03Don't worry, Lisa.
00:13:05I just spoke with James Thornton, and he had the lawyer change the will in our favor.
00:13:09Jessica will get nothing.
00:13:12Oh, my God.
00:13:14That's fantastic.
00:13:15Jessica, how's work?
00:13:17Jessica, how's work?
00:13:20Did you get your job back?
00:13:21No way.
00:13:27Jessica, how's work?
00:13:32Did you get your job back?
00:13:33Jessica, I need a lawyer.
00:13:40Well, look who decided to show up.
00:13:49Too bad for you, Jess.
00:13:52Turns out Daddy's will left you nothing.
00:13:54I knew all along Robert wouldn't leave anything for this little, pathetic, bastard child.
00:14:02You are out of luck.
00:14:03Well, that's a lie.
00:14:05You showed me the will, and I signed the documents.
00:14:10I'm sorry, Jessica.
00:14:11I've just discovered a revised will that supports Kristen and Lisa's claims.
00:14:19Just a thought.
00:14:20Who is this?
00:14:21He's my lawyer, and a damn good one.
00:14:24Oh.
00:14:25You know, Jess, I didn't realize you had enough money to pay for a fancy little lawyer.
00:14:30You sleep with them?
00:14:31Patrick, can I have a word with you outside?
00:14:36Talk all you want.
00:14:37It won't change anything.
00:14:46All right, Patrick.
00:14:48I'm going to keep this short and sweet.
00:14:50I know you changed the will to favor Kristen and Lisa.
00:14:53I know what you're talking about, Mr. Thornton.
00:14:55The revised will saw it.
00:14:57Ted found an email exchange with my father.
00:14:59Here, here, take a look.
00:15:02You've been caught, Patrick.
00:15:04Honor of the will, I'll report you to the Bar Association.
00:15:07You'll lose your license and any chance of practicing law or game.
00:15:10That goes against your father's wishes.
00:15:12You don't understand the position he put me in.
00:15:14I'll deal with my father.
00:15:15Don't you worry about that.
00:15:18You just worry about doing the right thing.
00:15:20Um, this revised will is a fake.
00:15:28The original will stand.
00:15:29What the hell are you doing?
00:15:31He's doing the right thing.
00:15:34Jessica, you've got your inheritance back.
00:15:37Congratulations.
00:15:39Oh, my God.
00:15:42Patrick, do what you are supposed to do,
00:15:45or James will make sure you face the consequences.
00:15:50Don't listen to it, Patrick.
00:15:52I'll deal with James Thornton.
00:15:54Who the hell do you think you are?
00:15:57James Thornton is one of the most powerful men in this town.
00:16:01I sure can.
00:16:02Isn't that right, Patrick?
00:16:04Yes.
00:16:05The original will stands.
00:16:06No, you are crazy.
00:16:08No, I'm not.
00:16:10According to the original will,
00:16:11Jessica stands to inherit this mansion.
00:16:14Kristen, you're out.
00:16:16I think you two should leave.
00:16:18You homewrecker.
00:16:19Just like your mother.
00:16:21I will not allow violence.
00:16:24I didn't come here to argue over a house and assets.
00:16:29I came here to be recognized as an actual member of this family.
00:16:34Yeah, well, it's easy for you to say you're getting everything.
00:16:36You don't know how lucky you are, Lisa.
00:16:38You grew up with a father who loved you.
00:16:41I had none.
00:16:42And you took my mother away from me,
00:16:45and I still don't know where she is.
00:16:48You two don't deserve this mansion.
00:16:50And I would rather give it away to charity
00:16:53than to see the two of you living in.
00:16:58I'm not.
00:16:59You two should pack your things up.
00:17:04You have one week to leave this house.
00:17:14What the hell were you thinking?
00:17:17Sabotaging my plan?
00:17:18I was just doing the right thing.
00:17:20The right thing?
00:17:22Going against me?
00:17:24Kristen Miller has got no power anymore.
00:17:26Her game is over.
00:17:27I'm sure you didn't come all this way just to argue with me.
00:17:31So what do you want?
00:17:33I just want Jessica to get her mom back.
00:17:38Interesting.
00:17:41What's in it for me?
00:17:43Once Jessica gets her mom back,
00:17:45I'll do whatever you want.
00:17:47Whatever I want?
00:17:49Like what exactly?
00:17:52I'll marry Ashley.
00:17:53You'll marry Ashley?
00:17:57Yeah.
00:17:58You're willing to do that?
00:17:59Yeah.
00:18:00I am.
00:18:02But only if she's reunited with her mother.
00:18:06Okay.
00:18:07Deal.
00:18:09I'll make the arrangements.
00:18:11So you're really in love with this one, huh?
00:18:14Yeah.
00:18:16I am.
00:18:17Okay, kid.
00:18:17I sure hope she's working.
00:18:21She is.
00:18:26What's wrong?
00:18:28We have...
00:18:29a guest.
00:18:32Mr. Thornton.
00:18:34Good to see you again.
00:18:35Interview time.
00:18:37Great.
00:18:40When did you two meet?
00:18:42Uh, we met at a friend's party two years ago.
00:18:45What do you say, Jessica?
00:18:47Huh?
00:18:49Oh, yeah, yeah.
00:18:51Mm-hmm.
00:18:51Interesting.
00:18:53And when did you decide to get married?
00:18:56Eight months ago.
00:18:57Six months ago.
00:18:58Six months or eight months, which one is it?
00:19:00Yeah, eight months ago.
00:19:02Sorry, I just...
00:19:03Sorry, I'm always getting mixed up.
00:19:05Sure.
00:19:07Easy mistake to make.
00:19:09And what's your anniversary date?
00:19:11March 15th.
00:19:13March 15th?
00:19:14March 15th.
00:19:15All right.
00:19:20Uh, that's it?
00:19:22Yes, Mr. Thornton.
00:19:24I have everything I need.
00:19:26I'll report back to the judges.
00:19:30Oh, wait.
00:19:31Uh, look at this.
00:19:34How did we do in there?
00:19:39It was pretty bad.
00:19:41Look.
00:19:44I'm the son of James Thornton.
00:19:46I know who you are.
00:19:49Uh, Kate.
00:19:52You wouldn't bribe me.
00:19:55Yes.
00:19:56I can't be bribed.
00:19:58Here's one million dollars.
00:19:59Two million dollars.
00:20:06Right.
00:20:10Three.
00:20:12Million dollars.
00:20:13It's tempting, but like I said, you can't bribe me.
00:20:16Please.
00:20:17Can you just give us one more week to prepare?
00:20:20I really want to be with this woman.
00:20:22She means the world to me.
00:20:24She saved my life.
00:20:25I'm not going to take your money, but I'll give you one week.
00:20:28Make it count.
00:20:31Next time, I want to see some genuine affection between you two.
00:20:34Yeah.
00:20:34If anything seems a bit off, your game's up.
00:20:37Of course.
00:20:37And one more thing.
00:20:40I can tell you two haven't had sex yet.
00:20:44I'm that good, Mr. Daniel.
00:20:46Don't try and fool me.
00:20:53She gave us another chance.
00:20:54Oh, my God.

01:11:03but it was five years ago
01:11:05at a pool party and we had our first kiss when we first met
01:11:12it sounds pretty far-fetched but for some reason i want to give you two the benefit of the doubt
01:11:21it sounds pretty far-fetched but for some reason i want to give you two the benefit of the doubt
