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.
00:03:14The guy is a lawyer for some of the most important families in town.
00:03:19And if you don't let her go, then they'll make sure you lose your damn job.
00:03:20Do you call that a kiss?
00:03:33Need more proof, officer?
00:03:35Look, this guy is a lawyer to some of the most important families in town.
00:03:40And 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.
00:03:50I 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.
00:04:03Make 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...
00:04:15Thank you...
00:04:17for the rescue.
00:04:20Oh, it's... no problem.
00:04:22But, um...
00:04:24Daniel...
00:04:26Would you...
00:04:27Would you marry me?
00:04:29Oh, Jessica.
00:04:30I've waited for this moment for five years.
00:04:32I mean, it would only be a...
00:04:34contract marriage.
00:04:36But once I get my green card,
00:04:38I'll inherit my father's business empire,
00:04:41and...
00:04:42I'll share half of it with you.
00:04:44Even your misunderstanding looks so cute.
00:04:46I only want you, Jessica.
00:04:48But...
00:04:49Before I get my green card...
00:04:51You're gonna have to help me deal with my stepsister and her mom.
00:04:55They're trying to get rid of me.
00:04:57And they've already stolen my fortune.
00:04:59And they made my mother disappear.
00:05:01Deal.
00:05:02What?
00:05:03That's it?
00:05:04This lily stands for loyalties and new beginnings.
00:05:06Something that I want with you.
00:05:07Now I know it's rushed.
00:05:08But I promise you...
00:05:09I will buy you a proper ring soon.
00:05:14From now on, let's make every Christmas our own.
00:05:17A fella.
00:05:18Full of memories.
00:05:19That's it?
00:05:20A fella.
00:05:21That's it?
00:05:22That's it?
00:05:23This lily stands for loyalties and new beginnings.
00:05:25Something that I want with you.
00:05:26Now I know it's rushed.
00:05:27But I promise you...
00:05:28I will buy you a proper ring soon.
00:05:30From now on, let's make every Christmas our own.
00:05:33A fella.
00:05:34Full of memories.
00:05:35You... you can't do this!
00:05:52Jess, it's okay.
00:05:53Just wait here.
00:05:54I'll handle it.
00:05:59What?
00:06:01Why are you helping that girl?
00:06:04Kristen Miller is our ally, and she wants her the hell out of this picture.
00:06:08Too late, Dad. We already got married.
00:06:11Are you insane?
00:06:13Did you forget you're supposed to marry Ashley?
00:06:17Daniel 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.
00:06:29Oh, I... I recognize that face from the newspaper.
00:06:33That was James Thornton from the Thornton family,
00:06:37the family responsible for my mother's disappearance.
00:06:44Stop telling me what I can and cannot do.
00:06:46She saved my life. I 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,
00:06:54and you need to divorce that girl.
00:06:56Now I'm doing this to clean your mess up.
00:06:59Just leave us alone.
00:07:08Sorry 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, I can explain.
00:07:27I'm not marrying Thornton.
00:07:29Wait, wait, wait, Jess, Jess.
00:07:30I'm not who you think I am.
00:07:32I have nothing to do with that family.
00:07:34Oh, really? Because your name is right here, on the marriage stack.
00:07:39I share the last name as Thornton,
00:07:41but I am not one of them.
00:07:42Thornton is a common name.
00:07:44Just an ordinary guy.
00:07:45Really? Well, 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.
00:08:07It's okay.
00:08:10Don't worry about it.
00:08:15Well, you have a nice apartment.
00:08:18Welcome.
00:08:20Is 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
00:08:37just 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, I insist.
00:08:47We made a deal, remember?
00:08:49I also want to thank you
00:08:51for giving me the chance to get rich.
00:08:55It's okay, Daniel.
00:09:00She's spying on me.
00:09:29No.
00:09:32No, 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
00:09:43that's just hanging out next to the door?
00:09:46Yeah, sure, sure.
00:09:51Thanks.
00:09:51Bye.
00:09:52Bye.
00:09:53Bye.
00:09:59Oh, my God.
00:10:02What?
00:10:03I just got fired.
00:10:04What?
00:10:07Uh, wait, Jess, let me go with you.
00:10:10What?
00:10:12Yeah.
00:10:13Sam, please, don't fire me.
00:10:26I'm sorry, Jess,
00:10:27but your immigration issue
00:10:30put 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.
00:10:55It was you.
00:10:57I should have known you were behind this.
00:10:59I'm not gonna let you stay here
00:11:00and ruin things.
00:11:01I'm gonna take away everything you have, sister.
00:11:04You just made a big mistake, sir.
00:11:10Who are you?
00:11:11My name is Daniel Thornton,
00:11:13son of James Thornton,
00:11:16the chairman of Thornton Enterprise.
00:11:18Oh, uh, Mr. Thornton, uh, welcome.
00:11:22What brings you here?
00:11:25Well, I have some good news for you.
00:11:29Jessica Miller?
00:11:31Mm-hmm.
00:11:31She's just closed a billion dollar deal.
00:11:34Take a look.
00:11:38Oh, my God.
00:11:47It's real.
00:11:53Absolutely.
00:11:55With her hard work and dedication,
00:11:56she's made this possible.
00:11:58It's a real shame you're gonna lose
00:12:00such a valuable employee.
00:12:02Oh, uh, Mr. Thornton,
00:12:04um, I have made a huge mistake.
00:12:08Uh, Jessica will stay.
00:12:12Good.
00:12:13And, uh,
00:12:15make sure nobody knows
00:12:17we 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,
00:12:42she's being promoted
00:12:44to sales manager.
00:12:46Can't afford to lose someone
00:12:48as valuable as, like, her?
00:12:50Great.
00:12:51Thanks, Sam.
00:12:53This
00:12:54is not over.
00:12:59I can't believe it.
00:13:00Jessica kept her job
00:13:01and she gets promoted.
00:13:03Don't worry, Lisa.
00:13:05I just spoke with James Thornton
00:13:06and he had the lawyer
00:13:07change the will in our favor.
00:13:09Jessica will get nothing.
00:13:12Oh, my God.
00:13:14That's fantastic.
00:13:15No way.
00:13:27No way.
00:13:34Jessica?
00:13:35How's work?
00:13:36Did you get your job back?
00:13:37Daniel, I need a lawyer.
00:13:47Well, look who decided to show up.
00:13:50Too bad for you, Jess.
00:13:52It just turns out Daddy's will left you nothing.
00:13:55I knew all along Robert wouldn't leave anything
00:13:58for this little, pathetic, bastard child.
00:14:02You are out of luck.
00:14:04Well, that's a lie.
00:14:05You showed me the will
00:14:06and I signed the documents.
00:14:10I'm sorry, Jessica.
00:14:11I've just discovered a revised will
00:14:13that supports Kristen and Lisa's claims.
00:14:19Just a thought.
00:14:20Who is this?
00:14:21He's my lawyer.
00:14:22And a damn good one.
00:14:24Oh.
00:14:25You know, Jess,
00:14:26I didn't realize you had enough money
00:14:28to pay for a fancy little lawyer.
00:14:30You sleep with them?
00:14:31Patrick,
00:14:34can 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
00:14:51to 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.
00:15:00Here.
00:15:00Take a look.
00:15:02You've been caught, Patrick.
00:15:04Honor of the will,
00:15:05I'll report you to the Bar Association.
00:15:07You'll lose your license
00:15:08and 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.
00:15:25Um,
00:15:26this 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,
00:15:35you've got your inheritance back.
00:15:37Congratulations.
00:15:39Oh,
00:15:40my
00:15:41God.
00:15:42Patrick,
00:15:43do what you are supposed to do
00:15:45or James
00:15:46will make sure you face the consequences.
00:15:49Don't listen to it, Patrick.
00:15:53I'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?
00:16:03Yes.
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,
00:16:15you're out.
00:16:16I think you two should leave.
00:16:18You homewrecker.
00:16:19Just like your mother.
00:16:20I will not allow violence.
00:16:24I didn't come here to argue
00:16:26over a house
00:16:28and assets.
00:16:30I came here to be recognized
00:16:31as an actual member of this family.
00:16:34Yeah, well, it's easy for you to say
00:16:35you'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
00:16:42took my mother away from me
00:16:45and I still don't know where she is.
00:16:47You two don't deserve this mansion.
00:16:50And I would rather
00:16:51give it away to charity
00:16:53than to see the two of you living in.
00:17:02You two should pack your things up.
00:17:04You have one week to leave this house.
00:17:14What the hell were you thinking?
00:17:16Sabotaging 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
00:17:29just to argue with me.
00:17:31So what do you want?
00:17:34I 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?
00:17:50Like what exactly?
00:17:52I'll marry Ashley.
00:17:54You'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.
00:18:04Okay.
00:18:06Okay.
00:18:07Deal.
00:18:09I'll make the arrangements.
00:18:12So you're really in love with this one, huh?
00:18:14Yeah.
00:18:16I am.
00:18:17Okay, kid.
00:18:19Sure hope she's working.
00:18:21She is.
00:18:22What'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.
00:18:46What do you say, Jessica?
00:18:47Hmm?
00:18:49Oh, yeah, yeah.
00:18:50Mm-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?
00:18:59Which 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?
00:19:15Great.
00:19:18Uh, 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, this.
00:19:34How did we do in there?
00:19:38It 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.
00:20:04Two million dollars.
00:20:05Right.
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.
00:20:38And one more thing.
00:20:41I 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, thank God.
00:20:55We have one week to get our story straight.
00:20:58Thank you, Daniel.
00:21:01You've been very, very helpful today.
00:21:20Now, I wanted to make our first Christmas special, so I did a little digging and I found this.
00:21:26This tree is amazing.
00:21:35What happened?
00:21:38Let me have a look.
00:21:56Um, I have a festive gift for you two.
00:22:13Well, Jess, you look gorgeous.
00:22:29And then I told him that's not how you negotiate.
00:22:32You did it.
00:22:33You did.
00:22:34Bo?
00:22:46Mm-hmm.
00:22:51All right.
00:22:53Bye.
00:22:55Bye.
00:22:56Bye.
00:22:57Bye.
00:22:59Bye.
00:23:00Bye.
00:23:02Bye.
00:23:02Bye.
00:23:02This could be wrong.
00:23:17Maybe.
00:23:19Maybe not.
00:23:32But that is how you make a show.
00:23:40You're a learning fan.
00:23:55You're stuck.
00:23:58Hold on, I've got this.
00:24:00Oh.
00:24:02Hold on, I've got this.
00:24:32Hold on, I've got this.
00:25:02in the, uh, dinner magazine.
00:25:05That looks like one of those, um,
00:25:09Thornton family
00:25:10watches.
00:25:13Is it real?
00:25:13Uh, no.
00:25:16It's fake.
00:25:20You wear a fake watch?
00:25:23Yeah.
00:25:32I'm so happy, Jess.
00:25:40There's also
00:25:41something I need to tell you about your mom.
00:25:48Yes.
00:25:49Oh, my God.
00:26:00Did I just sleep with
00:26:01Daniel last night?
00:26:03I told him it would only be a contract marriage.
00:26:14Morning.
00:26:15This is the most beautiful morning
00:26:17that I've ever had.
00:26:19Daniel, I'm...
00:26:20I'm so sorry about
00:26:23last night. It was...
00:26:25It wasn't supposed to happen, and I promise
00:26:27it'll never happen again.
00:26:28She didn't mean it.
00:26:32Oh, Jessica.
00:26:34Last night was amazing.
00:26:36Uh...
00:26:36Yeah, Jess, uh...
00:26:40I get it.
00:26:41It was, uh...
00:26:42It was a one-time thing.
00:26:46Yeah, just like...
00:26:48Just a one-time thing.
00:26:49Yeah.
00:26:50Anyway, it's, uh...
00:26:54Your big day today.
00:26:56You're the new CEO of Miller Empire.
00:27:00Thank you
00:27:01for the reminder.
00:27:05Now that you mention it,
00:27:06I'm really scared.
00:27:08Oh, no, Jess.
00:27:09I didn't mean it like that.
00:27:11What I was meant to say is...
00:27:14I'm gonna help.
00:27:22I don't know what to do, Mother.
00:27:23That bitch is kicking us out.
00:27:25We still have a chance.
00:27:27That bastard child needs a unanimous vote
00:27:29from the board to be chosen
00:27:30as the next CEO.
00:27:31So we just need a board member
00:27:34to back us up.
00:27:35I will call Richard.
00:27:37Everyone respects Richard's vote.
00:27:39And I will make sure
00:27:40he doesn't vote for her.
00:27:42And I'll dig up all the dirt
00:27:43I can find on her.
00:27:44You go, girl.
00:27:56These clothes are...
00:27:58beautiful.
00:28:00But, uh...
00:28:01very expensive.
00:28:04Like this one.
00:28:05That is...
00:28:07$9,000.
00:28:08Jess,
00:28:09don't worry about it.
00:28:11It's on me.
00:28:12Look at it as, uh...
00:28:14my first gift to my wife.
00:28:16No, but...
00:28:17Daniel, I can't let you pay for this.
00:28:19Look, Jess,
00:28:20you're gonna be a CEO,
00:28:21which means
00:28:22you've gotta look the part.
00:28:23Trust me.
00:28:25It's an investment.
00:28:27Mr. Thornton,
00:28:29welcome back.
00:28:29How can I assist you today?
00:28:31Come here a lot?
00:28:32Uh, no.
00:28:33Well, of course,
00:28:34Mr. Thornton owns this store.
00:28:36Uh, Jess,
00:28:38why don't you try this one on?
00:28:40You'll look great in it.
00:28:45Wow.
00:28:46Jess, you look...
00:28:48amazing.
00:28:50You think so?
00:28:51Yeah.
00:28:51this is exactly
00:28:54what a CEO would wear.
00:28:55Absolutely.
00:28:56Great choice.
00:28:58We'll take this one.
00:29:00Something in your mind?
00:29:03Well, it's probably nothing,
00:29:04but it's just
00:29:05that clerk seemed very
00:29:07fond of you.
00:29:08Oh, uh...
00:29:10being friendly
00:29:11is a part of my job.
00:29:13Okay.
00:29:13So that's how
00:29:21you got your lawyer,
00:29:22huh?
00:29:24Now that you mention it,
00:29:25maybe she was
00:29:26a little friendly.
00:29:28But,
00:29:28we got a discount.
00:29:31Sure.
00:29:31What a slut.
00:29:45Trust me, Jess.
00:29:46You can do this.
00:29:47Yeah, but what if
00:29:48they don't accept me?
00:29:49They will.
00:29:50Trust me.
00:29:51Just speak from the heart
00:29:52and show your true self.
00:29:54Mm-hmm.
00:29:55Look at you two
00:29:56little lovebirds.
00:29:57You go in.
00:30:09I'll meet you in there
00:30:10soon, okay?
00:30:16Good luck in there, sis.
00:30:19You're gonna need it.
00:30:21You don't have the votes.
00:30:22I know my background
00:30:27doesn't seem very typical
00:30:28of a CEO,
00:30:30but I built myself
00:30:31from the bottom up here.
00:30:33Miller Corporation
00:30:34is a leader
00:30:36in tech
00:30:37and services,
00:30:39reaching industries
00:30:40from healthcare
00:30:41to energy.
00:30:42We have over
00:30:4310,000 employees
00:30:45worldwide
00:30:47who have worked hard
00:30:49to build this company
00:30:50from the ground up,
00:30:51and I was one of them.
00:30:52I know them.
00:30:54And I believe
00:30:55that I can help
00:30:56lead this company
00:30:56to become
00:30:57everyone's company.
00:31:00Let's proceed
00:31:00to the vote.
00:31:02All in favor?
00:31:07Robert lost his
00:31:08damn mind.
00:31:09He picked his secret
00:31:10child to be the CEO
00:31:11only because of
00:31:12his guilty conscience.
00:31:14Richard,
00:31:15if I may...
00:31:16I'm not done talking.
00:31:17You can't lead us.
00:31:19And you're not
00:31:20getting my vote.
00:31:22Richard,
00:31:23if I may speak...
00:31:24Go ahead.
00:31:26But I won't
00:31:26change my mind.
00:31:31Sorry for interrupting
00:31:32everyone,
00:31:32but I have something
00:31:33important to share
00:31:34with you all today.
00:31:35Who the hell are you?
00:31:36Well, Richard,
00:31:37I'm the person
00:31:38who's going to expose you.
00:31:40What did you just say?
00:31:42How do I say this?
00:31:44Uh,
00:31:45you're a sex pervert.
00:31:46What?
00:31:50You see,
00:31:51everyone,
00:31:52this file
00:31:53contains multiple
00:31:55sexual harassment lawsuits
00:31:57against Richard
00:31:57over the past
00:31:5830 years.
00:32:00Some of them
00:32:01also have
00:32:02ongoing lawsuits.
00:32:04They're all just
00:32:05allegations,
00:32:05and they've all
00:32:06been settled.
00:32:07I'm innocent.
00:32:08We've also got in
00:32:09contact with some
00:32:09of the victims,
00:32:10and they're willing
00:32:10to come forward
00:32:11and testify.
00:32:11Actually...
00:32:12I have not finished yet.
00:32:14You're also stealing
00:32:15money from the company,
00:32:17and we have
00:32:17the financial records
00:32:18to own it.
00:32:19The evidence is clear.
00:32:26He's guilty.
00:32:29Okay, then.
00:32:30Let's all vote
00:32:31for Richard Donnell's
00:32:32immediate suspension.
00:32:34All in favor?
00:32:39We have 15 votes.
00:32:42The board has decided.
00:32:43Richard Donnell
00:32:44is officially removed
00:32:45from his position.
00:32:47Security.
00:32:48Escort him out
00:32:49immediately.
00:32:50I know my way.
00:32:56And all in favor
00:32:58of appointing
00:32:59Jessica Miller
00:33:00as the new CEO.
00:33:17I'm sorry,
00:33:17Resilene.
00:33:18I had to make sure
00:33:19I had enough evidence
00:33:19to nail him.
00:33:20No, don't be sorry,
00:33:21Daniel.
00:33:22That was so worth the wait.
00:33:24Good.
00:33:26This is not over.
00:33:28You'll see.
00:33:29How's packing going,
00:33:30Lisa?
00:33:30You're about to be
00:33:31a big teacher.
00:33:32Bye-bye-bye.
00:33:38She won again,
00:33:40that bitch.
00:33:40I know.
00:33:41It's so unfair.
00:33:42Do we have a guest?
00:33:43Lisa,
00:33:44Lisa,
00:33:45honey,
00:33:46I've been trying
00:33:46to reach you.
00:33:47Why haven't you
00:33:48returned my calls?
00:33:49I've been busy.
00:33:51Busy?
00:33:52Dealing with Jessica.
00:33:54How did you know?
00:33:55Oh, I know.
00:33:56And I think I know
00:33:57how to help you
00:33:57take it down.
00:33:59Again.
00:34:00No use to me anymore,
00:34:02Adrian.
00:34:02I only needed you
00:34:03to help me get rid of Jessica.
00:34:04To the new CEO
00:34:07of the Miller Empire.
00:34:11Well, I couldn't have
00:34:12done it without you,
00:34:13Daniel.
00:34:13I also have another
00:34:15Christmas surprise for you.
00:34:18Who are you calling?
00:34:22Is it?
00:34:23Yes, Jess.
00:34:24It's your mother, Clara.
00:34:26Oh, my God.
00:34:27Mom.
00:34:27Oh, Jessica,
00:34:29you're a grown woman now.
00:34:31The Miller family
00:34:32threatened to kill you, Jess.
00:34:34I had no option
00:34:35but to vanish.
00:34:38Oh, Mom, it's okay.
00:34:39It's okay.
00:34:40Like, you didn't do
00:34:41anything wrong.
00:34:42I'll bring you back
00:34:43into the country,
00:34:44I promise.
00:34:46Daniel, how did you find her?
00:34:48I have a few powerful friends.
00:34:50They did me a favor.
00:34:52But I'll leave you to alone.
00:35:04Two more, please.
00:35:07Daniel.
00:35:10Adrian.
00:35:11Long time no see, buddy.
00:35:13Oh, my God.
00:35:14How long has it been?
00:35:15Ten years.
00:35:16Ten years!
00:35:17Oh, my God.
00:35:19The last time I must have seen you
00:35:21was, uh,
00:35:22law school.
00:35:23Yep.
00:35:24Go Reds.
00:35:26Go Reds.
00:35:27Uh, what are you doing here?
00:35:30Just in town to run some errands.
00:35:32Just finally come here
00:35:33for a quick bite.
00:35:34Nice, man.
00:35:35Nice.
00:35:36I saw your date earlier.
00:35:38She looks pretty.
00:35:39Yeah, my wife.
00:35:41Your wife.
00:35:42Yeah, Jess.
00:35:43You're married.
00:35:44Yes.
00:35:45Yeah, you have to introduce me,
00:35:46do I?
00:35:46Come on, let's go say hi.
00:35:48Come and say hello.
00:35:49It's good to see you, bud.
00:35:50Good to see you, too, man.
00:35:52Jess,
00:35:53I wanted you to meet
00:35:54an old friend of mine.
00:35:55Adrian, this is Jess.
00:35:56Jess, this is Adrian.
00:35:58We went to law school together.
00:36:04I, I, I don't want to see him.
00:36:06I, I, I don't want to see him.
00:36:13You two know each other.
00:36:14Yes, Daniel.
00:36:16I was her first boyfriend.
00:36:21Come on, Jess.
00:36:22Don't you miss me.
00:36:24I don't want to see you anymore.
00:36:26You know you're still in love with me, Jess.
00:36:29No, I don't.
00:36:33I think you should leave, Adrian.
00:36:36Okay, Daniel, relax.
00:36:38Now.
00:36:44I'm leaving.
00:36:49Does she know she's lying?
00:36:54Boss, Adrian Wesley now represents
00:36:57Lisa and Kristen Miller.
00:36:58They want to test the word.
00:37:00I should have known.
00:37:01What else?
00:37:03Adrian also needs me, Jessica.
00:37:04Actually, he's the one
00:37:07who sabotaged Jessica
00:37:08the immigration paperwork.
00:37:10It caused all this trouble.
00:37:15That son of a bitch.
00:37:17We need to win this war.
00:37:19Do whatever it takes.
00:37:28Daniel?
00:37:28Daniel.
00:37:30Sorry.
00:37:31Did I wake you?
00:37:33No.
00:37:33Can you...
00:37:34Can you join me in bed, please?
00:37:40You sure?
00:37:46I just...
00:37:47I wanted to apologize
00:37:48for earlier
00:37:50the restaurant.
00:37:51I got a bit carried away.
00:37:56Jess, you don't need to apologize.
00:38:00Adrian's an asshole.
00:38:01He's just trying to do it
00:38:02to get under your skin.
00:38:03I did care for Adrian
00:38:04once.
00:38:07But he just destroyed
00:38:08everything we had.
00:38:10I want you to know
00:38:11that I'm...
00:38:13I'm here
00:38:14because of you.
00:38:15And you're the only one
00:38:20who I love.
00:38:22No one else.
00:38:34I love you too, Jess.
00:38:36And I'm not going anywhere.
00:38:38I love you too, Jess.
00:38:38And I'm not going anywhere.
00:38:45Good morning, husband.
00:38:53Good morning, wife.
00:38:56Are you ready for your big day
00:38:57as the new CEO?
00:38:58If only you were with me.
00:39:13You're going to do great today.
00:39:30Jess?
00:39:31Here's your coffee.
00:39:36What's wrong?
00:39:37No, it's just...
00:39:38It's this job.
00:39:39It's all so new to me.
00:39:41Okay.
00:39:42Calm down.
00:39:43Remember,
00:39:44you're the CEO.
00:39:45Which means
00:39:46you're the boss.
00:39:47Yeah, but I don't know
00:39:49how to be a boss.
00:39:51Hey, Jess.
00:39:53Look at you
00:39:54sitting in the big chair now.
00:39:56Oh, Gina.
00:39:57I am so happy you're here.
00:40:00Aw.
00:40:02You must be Daniel.
00:40:05Jessica's been talking about you
00:40:06for days.
00:40:08I'm flattered.
00:40:10I really wish you could be here with me, G.
00:40:11It's exhausting.
00:40:13Oh, at least you have a job, Jess.
00:40:15I've been looking for work
00:40:16for the past two months.
00:40:19Jess?
00:40:19Mm-hmm.
00:40:21Do you like Deanna being here?
00:40:26Of course.
00:40:27We've been besties since...
00:40:29forever.
00:40:30Yeah, what kind of question is that?
00:40:32Well, why don't you use your CEO power
00:40:35and hire Deanna?
00:40:39Oh, I don't...
00:40:40I know what you mean.
00:40:41I don't understand.
00:40:43How would you
00:40:45like to come work
00:40:48for me?
00:40:48Of course.
00:40:50We're just...
00:40:51Okay, then.
00:40:53My first order
00:40:54as a CEO...
00:40:57Gianna,
00:40:57you are hired
00:40:59as my personal assistant.
00:41:02Oh, my God, Jess.
00:41:03Thank you so much.
00:41:05See?
00:41:06Being a boss is easy.
00:41:08You can do whatever you want.
00:41:09Oh, my God.
00:41:19What's wrong?
00:41:20The company's stock prices
00:41:21are dropping like crazy.
00:41:23What is happening?
00:41:25This isn't me.
00:41:27The stock's gonna dump.
00:41:29Well, well, well.
00:41:32Looks like things aren't going so well.
00:41:34What did you do, Lisa?
00:41:35I asked Richard
00:41:36and some of the other investors
00:41:38to sell their stocks.
00:41:41The board members
00:41:41are not gonna be happy
00:41:42about the stock prices, Jessica.
00:41:44What do you want?
00:41:46Resign.
00:41:48I CEO
00:41:48or I will destroy this company.
00:41:51Yeah, no way.
00:41:52Okay.
00:41:54Then I will destroy this company.
00:41:57Jessica,
00:41:57the board members
00:41:58are asking to meet with you.
00:42:00They're angry.
00:42:05What are you gonna do, Jess?
00:42:08Okay.
00:42:08I'll meet with the board.
00:42:10Wait, Jess.
00:42:12Don't go.
00:42:13Take a seat.
00:42:15What is it?
00:42:16Lisa,
00:42:17are you sure
00:42:19the stock prices
00:42:20are going down?
00:42:21Because to me,
00:42:22they seem to be going up
00:42:23and up.
00:42:25That's impossible.
00:42:26You would need
00:42:26at least a billion dollars.
00:42:29I guess anything's possible
00:42:30these days.
00:42:32God damn it!
00:42:33God, she's annoying.
00:42:40No, you must be
00:42:40my lucky star.
00:42:49Daniel.
00:42:49I know who you are, Daniel.
00:42:55You're the son
00:42:56of James Thornton.
00:42:57How'd you find out?
00:42:59My identity's
00:43:00meant to be a secret.
00:43:01I used to work
00:43:01for your father.
00:43:02Please don't tell Jess.
00:43:04I'll pay you.
00:43:05How much do you want?
00:43:06I don't want your money.
00:43:07I care for my friend.
00:43:10Actually,
00:43:10your father fired me
00:43:12because I tried
00:43:12to help Jessica.
00:43:14I'm sorry,
00:43:14Giana.
00:43:15It's okay.
00:43:17I just want
00:43:18to know why.
00:43:20She hates my family.
00:43:22I have to lie to her.
00:43:24She hates your family,
00:43:25but she loves you.
00:43:28I can see that.
00:43:30You really think so?
00:43:32Yes.
00:43:33I love her, too.
00:43:35She's the best thing
00:43:37that's ever happened to me.
00:43:39That's good to hear.
00:43:41Please protect her.
00:43:44Daniel.
00:43:52It's my mom.
00:43:54Adrian threatened her.
00:44:00Adrian threatened my mom
00:44:01on the phone.
00:44:02He said he was going to
00:44:03block her from
00:44:04entering the country.
00:44:06What should we do?
00:44:08Jess,
00:44:09I don't want you
00:44:10to worry about it.
00:44:11I'm going to make sure
00:44:12your mom gets here safely.
00:44:13I need you to make sure
00:44:31Jessica's mom gets here safely.
00:44:33Look,
00:44:34we're on the first flight
00:44:34out tomorrow.
00:44:35Got it, boss.
00:44:36She'll be here in town
00:44:37the day after tomorrow.
00:44:39Good.
00:44:39Jess has been taken care of.
00:44:48Your mom's going to be here
00:44:49the day after tomorrow.
00:44:51Thank you, Daniel.
00:44:54But I'm...
00:44:56I'm still scared.
00:44:58I just...
00:44:59I need a day off.
00:45:00I love the sound of that.
00:45:02What do you have in mind?
00:45:04I was thinking...
00:45:06I want to buy a house.
00:45:10Yes.
00:45:10Yes.
00:45:19So?
00:45:22Do you like this place?
00:45:23It's amazing.
00:45:25But, Jess,
00:45:27I appreciate the gesture.
00:45:28But you don't need
00:45:29to buy me a house.
00:45:32No.
00:45:33No.
00:45:33I insist.
00:45:35You've done so much
00:45:37to help me.
00:45:38Besides,
00:45:39we can live together
00:45:40here.
00:45:41Miss Tonton!
00:45:42Hi.
00:45:43Your father is here.
00:45:45Are you meeting
00:45:45here?
00:45:46Yeah?
00:45:46Well...
00:45:51I've never met
00:45:53your parents.
00:45:55So...
00:45:55I'm pretty excited
00:45:57to meet an in-law.
00:46:00Oh, is...
00:46:01Is that him?
00:46:03Come on,
00:46:04let's go say hi!
00:46:05Jess, wait.
00:46:06Uh...
00:46:06Wait, wait, wait, wait,
00:46:07wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
00:46:09Um...
00:46:10I might not have told
00:46:13my dad about you
00:46:13and our marriage.
00:46:14Why?
00:46:15Uh...
00:46:17Because he has
00:46:19a heart condition?
00:46:21I think it's best
00:46:22you stay here.
00:46:23Okay.
00:46:25I'll just...
00:46:27stay here then.
00:46:30Good.
00:46:35Dad?
00:46:36Come on.
00:46:37Come on.
00:46:38What the hell?
00:46:39Isika's here.
00:46:40She can't see her face.
00:46:41Don't take them off.
00:46:42I want to talk to you about Ashley, Daniel.
00:46:46Huh?
00:46:50Why hasn't Daniel told his father about me
00:46:53and our wedding?
00:46:54Ashley, really?
00:46:55Not today.
00:46:58And what is this shirt you're wearing?
00:47:01Mother insisted I'm wearing
00:47:03this charity event in the morning.
00:47:06Right.
00:47:06Said it makes me look more grounded.
00:47:08I'm approaching one.
00:47:14And don't go changing our subject.
00:47:16I want to discuss our agreement.
00:47:18I give you Clara
00:47:18and you marry Ashley.
00:47:20Why does he look so nervous?
00:47:28Am I not good enough?
00:47:33Do we have to talk about this right now?
00:47:36I held up my end of the bargain, Daniel.
00:47:38I want this deal done now.
00:47:41Actually, Clara isn't safe yet.
00:47:43Lisa Miller might try to be sabotaging everything.
00:47:46This is why you don't mess with the Miller family.
00:47:50You should have left it alone.
00:47:51All I'm asking is just a few more days.
00:47:54Ashley is coming to town in a few days.
00:47:56What?
00:47:58Jess!
00:47:59Uh, Jess.
00:48:09Dad, this is Jess.
00:48:11Jess, this is Dad.
00:48:13You can call him Jimmy.
00:48:15Jimmy?
00:48:16Hmm?
00:48:19I'm Jimmy, sweetie.
00:48:21It's lovely to meet you, Jimmy.
00:48:23And can I just say,
00:48:24that is a lovely Hawaiian shirt.
00:48:27It really, really suits you.
00:48:29Well, thank you, Jessica.
00:48:31It's, uh,
00:48:32one I'm fond of.
00:48:33So, who is Ashley?
00:48:37I heard you guys talking about her earlier.
00:48:40Oh.
00:48:41She's just, uh,
00:48:42old family friend.
00:48:45Huh.
00:48:45They grew up and went to law school together.
00:48:48Oh.
00:48:49And she had Daniel's first kiss.
00:48:52Oh.
00:48:54Her wedding is, uh,
00:48:55approaching soon,
00:48:56and, uh,
00:48:57I'd like Daniel to attend.
00:48:59Dad!
00:49:01Reminiscing about the good old days.
00:49:02No, it's, it's fine.
00:49:03Honestly,
00:49:04it's lovely to hear about Daniel's childhood
00:49:06and more about his life.
00:49:08You bastard child.
00:49:14Well, well.
00:49:16What do we have here?
00:49:18You think you can afford this place?
00:49:21You're about to lose this battle
00:49:23and be out on the streets soon.
00:49:26Who's this clown?
00:49:27Looks like he belongs in a circus.
00:49:32How dare you, Kristen!
00:49:34How do you know my name?
00:49:36And don't you dare call me by my first name.
00:49:39That's enough!
00:49:42Don't talk to my father like that.
00:49:45Oh.
00:49:46Oh.
00:49:47Oh.
00:49:47He's your father.
00:49:50Hmm.
00:49:50How does it feel to be a father of such a loser?
00:49:54Don't talk to my family like that.
00:49:57Your family.
00:49:58Your family suck, Jessica.
00:50:01Especially your mother.
00:50:03The home-wrecking tramp.
00:50:06A whore.
00:50:08Oh!
00:50:08How dare you slap me!
00:50:33That is enough, Kristen.
00:50:35You're not going to lay a hand on my wife.
00:50:41Ladies, you need to leave.
00:50:43Now.
00:50:44You can't throw us out.
00:50:46We're buyers.
00:50:46We're not going anywhere.
00:50:47The owner of this property has banned you from coming here.
00:50:50You need to leave now or I will call security.
00:50:55You will regret this.
00:50:59I've heard that a thousand times.
00:51:01Now leave.
00:51:03Okay.
00:51:05Thank you, Jessica.
00:51:14You stood up for me.
00:51:16Well, we're a family, Jimmy.
00:51:18That's what I'm supposed to do.
00:51:23Well.
00:51:24I appreciate it.
00:51:26You're a nice girl.
00:51:29You found a good wife, son.
00:51:30Dad.
00:51:34About Ashy's wedding.
00:51:35I don't think I'm going to be able to make it.
00:51:38I'll look into it.
00:51:39I'll speak to her about it.
00:51:40Oh, no.
00:51:41No, no, no, no.
00:51:42Daniel can still attend.
00:51:44It's not a problem.
00:51:45Jess, I just want to focus on you and I.
00:51:48I'm not the jealous type.
00:51:50Plus, I don't want you to miss your first crush's wedding.
00:51:55Well, you decide, Daniel.
00:51:57Oh, there's the loan party.
00:52:00You two want to come?
00:52:01It's in three hours.
00:52:04Yeah.
00:52:05That will go.
00:52:07Great.
00:52:07Well, this place is extremely high class.
00:52:25Well, my dad has a few rich friends.
00:52:32And James Thornton is here.
00:52:36I know you don't want to see him.
00:52:38But, Jess, my dad's here.
00:52:40He's going to join us later.
00:52:42Okay.
00:52:44The bidding's about to start.
00:52:50Oh, the bitch is here!
00:52:52I know.
00:52:53Don't worry.
00:52:54We can teach him a lesson.
00:52:55Yeah, how?
00:52:56Let's see if Daniel can handle a little humiliation.
00:53:01With money.
00:53:02Here, with money?
00:53:02What money?
00:53:03I haven't gotten my inheritance back yet.
00:53:05Yeah, I know.
00:53:06Your mother spoke to Richard.
00:53:07He said he's willing to donate us some cash if we make Jessica look ugly.
00:53:11Oh.
00:53:14You're the best.
00:53:16I know.
00:53:17Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to this evening's auction.

00:53:55I don't know.
00:53:56But I'm definitely trying to humiliate you here.
00:53:58Really?
00:53:59But I don't even care about this bit.

00:54:39It's $10 million.
00:54:40Once, twice, sold.
00:54:44There's a gentleman there.
00:54:52Where did you get that money from?
00:54:55Well, do you remember me telling you about I have a powerful friend?
00:54:59Yeah, the one who helped me find my mother.
00:55:04Jessica?
00:55:05James Thornton.
00:55:07In the flesh.
00:55:08Or Mrs. Thornton.
00:55:11I want to apologize to you.
00:55:13I am truly sorry for everything I did to you and your mother.
00:55:17But I'm trying my best to make amends.
00:55:20Well, I don't know what to say.
00:55:25Jess, I know it's a lot to handle.
00:55:26You've just got to trust me.
00:55:27Yeah, but why didn't you just tell me?
00:55:29In the first place, Daniel.
00:55:31Jess.
00:55:33Jessica!
00:55:33Don't follow me!
00:55:39Oh, this could get interesting.
00:55:42Uh-huh.
00:55:42Look who's alone.
00:55:56You know, just leave, just leave me alone.
00:55:58You're never gonna win against James Thornton.
00:56:00He's my mother's best friend.
00:56:03You're gonna lose everything.
00:56:04Poor babe.
00:56:05Still played by the big boys.
00:56:06Yes.
00:56:07James Thornton and his son have been playing you all along.
00:56:12But what did you just say?
00:56:14James Thornton and his son?
00:56:16Wait, Jess, you didn't know?
00:56:18Daniel Thornton is his son.
00:56:20Oh, my God.
00:56:23Oh, I didn't know that.
00:56:25Now that I do.
00:56:28That's enough.
00:56:30Oh, excuse me, Mr. Thornton.
00:56:33Crown Prince of the Thornton family.
00:56:35This man's been lying to you all along.
00:56:47Poor little girl's got no one to trust.
00:56:49Both of you, get out of here.
00:56:54Hey.
00:57:02Jess, I've been trying to tell you.
00:57:03Am I a joke?
00:57:04I pity you.
00:57:05No.
00:57:06What do you mean?
00:57:07You and your father.
00:57:10You've been playing me this whole time.
00:57:12No.
00:57:13I've been standing by your side all the time, Jess.
00:57:16I can't trust you.
00:57:18You lied to me.
00:57:20You're right.
00:57:22You're right.
00:57:25I have been hiding things from you.
00:57:29You know what I haven't told you yet?
00:57:33Another big secret.
00:57:34Are you sure you want to hear this?
00:57:42The other big secret is, the first time we met is...
00:57:46It was five years ago.
00:57:50Five years ago?
00:57:51Yes.
00:57:53At a party.
00:57:54I was drunk and I fell in the pool.
00:58:05Oh, thank God you're alive.
00:58:12I was drowning and you saved my life.
00:58:14But you won't remember that.
00:58:17But I will forever be grateful for what you did for me that day.
00:58:22That was you?
00:58:25Yes.
00:58:26My father forbid me from seeing you.
00:58:29But I didn't care.
00:58:31I confronted him.
00:58:32You can't tell me what to do, Dad.
00:58:35You can't stop me from seeing her.
00:58:36I'm doing what's best for you, Daniel.
00:58:38That girl and all her family are nothing but trouble.
00:58:42And then he decided to tell me about everything he did to you and your mom.
00:58:47And I felt so guilty.
00:58:48It's okay.
00:58:49I was ashamed to approach you.
00:58:54I just didn't know how to face you without making things worse.
00:58:57And I thought the best thing to do was just leave you alone.
00:59:01Now I know.
00:59:02And then I heard about you being deported and I just couldn't let that happen.
00:59:05Well.
00:59:06Okay.
00:59:08I saved you.
00:59:10And you saved me.
00:59:14Because we just belong together.
00:59:19Ew.
00:59:21Corny.
00:59:23But just...
00:59:26No more secrets.
00:59:29Okay?
00:59:31I promise.
00:59:33No more secrets.
00:59:49You're up early.
00:59:52Yeah.
00:59:53I'm gonna go pick your mom up from the airport.
00:59:56Better sooner than later.
01:00:01Gianna's just text me.
01:00:03She said that I have my first weekly exec meeting this morning.
01:00:07I should postpone it.
01:00:09No.
01:00:10You should definitely go to that.
01:00:11You need to look good in front of your board.
01:00:13Really?
01:00:14Yeah.
01:00:15I'm gonna go pick your mom up from the airport.
01:00:16And I'll bring her straight to the office.
01:00:18Thanks.
01:00:19You're the best.
01:00:25Well, that was better than I thought.
01:00:26Don't underestimate yourself, Jess.
01:00:29You did great.
01:00:30Hey, Jess.
01:00:35What are you doing here?
01:00:41What are you doing here?
01:00:42I just wanted to share with you some interesting facts about your dear husband, Daniel Thornton.
01:00:48Gianna, can you wait outside a moment?
01:00:54Okay, I'm telling you now.
01:00:57Whatever bad, made-up facts that you've come to tell me about, Daniel, it's not going to work.
01:01:03Because Daniel already told me everything.
01:01:06Everything?
01:01:07Are you so sure?
01:01:08Yeah.
01:01:09Him and his father came clean about everything.
01:01:11There is nothing more to happen.
01:01:13And did they also tell you Daniel's supposed to marry his childhood sweetheart?
01:01:17What?
01:01:18Ashley Wimbledon.
01:01:19Heiress to the famous Wimbledon family.
01:01:22Bring any bells?
01:01:23Ashley.
01:01:27Ashley.
01:01:29Who is Ashley?
01:01:31I heard you guys talking about her earlier.
01:01:34Oh, she's just an old childhood friend.
01:01:38They grew up and went to law school together.
01:01:40Oh.
01:01:42And she had Daniel's first kiss.
01:01:47He did mention Ashley.
01:01:53He did?
01:01:54Yeah, but he's not going to marry her.
01:01:56I remember that conversation.
01:02:01Daniel's picking my mother up from the airport himself.
01:02:04I'll be seeing her soon.
01:02:07What are you laughing about?
01:02:08Daniel wants to bring her back, babe.
01:02:16I'm not going to see her.
01:02:17After years of separation with your mother, Daniel didn't let you go along with him to meet with her?
01:02:27And what kind of a husband does that?
01:02:29I had an early meeting this morning, and Daniel didn't want me to worry.
01:02:33So easily manipulated, Jess.
01:02:36It's just like old times.
01:02:39Yeah.
01:02:40Well, I don't believe a word you say.
01:02:44Daniel isn't going to bring her back.
01:02:47Care to find out together?
01:02:48Yeah.
01:02:48Are you sure everything is taken care of?
01:02:58Yes.
01:02:59You're free to live in this country.
01:03:02Clara, I also want to apologize for everything you went through years ago.
01:03:06I'm deeply sorry.
01:03:07Well, you did bring me back here.
01:03:09Right now, I just want to see my daughter.
01:03:12We'll go, sir.
01:03:13Not so fast, Danny boy.
01:03:15Okay.
01:03:18You're too late, Lisa.
01:03:20Clara's here to claim Robert's inheritance back.
01:03:22Oh, I don't think so.
01:03:24Agents, do you think?
01:03:26Wait.
01:03:26What?
01:03:27This is a mistake.
01:03:28No.
01:03:29Clara's got past customs.
01:03:30She can stay.
01:03:31Sweetheart, you really think those little documents can stop this?
01:03:35I don't think so.
01:03:36Back off, Lisa.
01:03:37Watch it, pretty boy.
01:03:39Jess.
01:03:39Jess, mom!
01:03:40Mom!
01:03:41What are you doing?
01:03:43Where are they taking my mother?
01:03:44Mom, I will bring you back, I promise.
01:03:46Just stay strong.
01:03:47Oh, sis, it looks like you've been screwed by the Thorntons again.
01:03:51Adrian, you sabotage this.
01:03:53You'll pay for this.
01:03:54See, babe, I told you he's not bringing her back.
01:03:58You said everything was taken care of.
01:04:00Jess, it's not me.
01:04:01It's them.
01:04:02You're lying, Daniel.
01:04:03Why don't you ask him about that thing we talked about, Jess?
01:04:09Jess?
01:04:10He said that you were going to marry Ashley.
01:04:12Okay, so it's true.
01:04:14Jess, can we just talk about this?
01:04:17No, no, no, no, no, no.
01:04:18Thing is, Daniel, you promised me no more secrets.
01:04:22I can't trust you anymore.
01:04:23Jess!
01:04:24Can you, it's just, uh, looks like you lost, Daniel.
01:04:28You'll never get in the back.
01:04:29Oh, thank God you're alive.
01:04:52Ted, what's the problem with Clara?
01:05:20Clara, her paperwork was flawless.
01:05:23You're right, boss.
01:05:24I check with customers in the U.S. CIS.
01:05:26The label confirms that she illegally entered the country.
01:05:30What is it, boss?
01:05:34Agents, do you think?
01:05:36Wait.
01:05:37What?
01:05:37This is a mistake.
01:05:38No.
01:05:40Jess.
01:05:41Jess, baby!
01:05:42Mom!
01:05:45The ICE agents weren't real.
01:05:48They were hired by Adrian and Lisa to kidnap Clara.
01:05:50Hold on a sec.
01:05:54You're right, boss.
01:05:55We found out those people want to.
01:05:57What should we do?
01:05:58I need to find out where they took them.
01:06:01Use all our contacts.
01:06:03I'm not going to let them get away with this.
01:06:05On it, boss.
01:06:13Well, well, well, Clara.
01:06:16Bet you didn't expect to see me again, did you?
01:06:19We finally have what it takes to get it all back?
01:06:21Don't look at me like that.
01:06:24You disgust me.
01:06:31Jess, we need to talk.
01:06:32I don't want to talk to you.
01:06:34It's about your mom.
01:06:35I think she was kidnapped by Adrian and Lisa's people.
01:06:37The ICE agents weren't real.
01:06:40What are you talking about?
01:06:42I spoke to Ted.
01:06:43He told me that Clara illegally came into the country.
01:06:47It was a setup.
01:06:48Do you actually expect me to believe that?
01:06:51After all the lies, you're so full of shit, you see, Daniel!
01:07:01Hello, bastard child.
01:07:03Yes, we have your mother.
01:07:05And if you ever want to see her again,
01:07:07follow the directions to the address that we just sent you.
01:07:10And don't bring anyone.
01:07:12Especially Daniel.
01:07:16Let me come with you.
01:07:17No, they want me alone.
01:07:19I don't want to be...
01:07:19Jess?
01:07:20Don't follow me.
01:07:21I will not let you do this alone.
01:07:29Mom?
01:07:30Bastard child, over here.
01:07:32You let her go.
01:07:34This has gone on far enough.
01:07:36I'm not so fast, sis.
01:07:38This is only the beginning.
01:07:39You sign this, we let her go.
01:07:48And what is it?
01:07:49An agreement signing everything over to us.
01:07:52The house.
01:07:54Company.
01:07:56Everything.
01:07:56Signed.
01:07:57Now let her go.
01:08:09You are so nice, sis.
01:08:11Now what more do you want?
01:08:14Get down on your knees and show that you know your place.
01:08:18Get down on your knees and show that you know your place.
01:08:26Wait.
01:08:30That's better.
01:08:31Now bark like a dog.
01:08:44Come on.
01:08:49That's enough, Kristen.
01:08:51We're getting out of here, Monk.
01:09:02Let's get her out of here.
01:09:04Come on.
01:09:05Let's go.
01:09:06Come on, Daniel.
01:09:10Come on.
01:09:12Monk, he's finished with it.
01:09:14Monk, we gotta go.
01:09:15Come on.
01:09:15Daniel!
01:09:22Jess.
01:09:25Don't try and talk.
01:09:26The police, they're on their way.
01:09:28Jess.
01:09:30I'm so sorry.
01:09:31Why are you apologizing?
01:09:33Just don't move.
01:09:34Well, the doctor said it was nothing serious, so you'll be out of here soon.
01:09:49Jess, I just want to apologize.
01:09:51I am so sorry.
01:09:53Daniel, what are you apologizing for?
01:09:57You saved my mom.
01:09:58You saved us.
01:10:01Hello again, Mr. Thornton.
01:10:03Officer, you're here.
01:10:05Yes.
01:10:06You promised me last week we'd get that interview done.
01:10:11Officer, my husband is injured.
01:10:14He's literally lying in bed.
01:10:16Well, that doesn't change the requirements.
01:10:19Jess, it's okay.
01:10:22We can do the interview.
01:10:27We can do the interview.
01:10:30Are you insane?
01:10:31We haven't rehearsed this.
01:10:34Jess, when you see, we've been rehearsing this whole Christmas.
01:10:39There's no better time to do this.
01:10:41You're right.
01:10:44We're ready, officer.
01:10:47Let's start with the question I asked you last week.
01:10:49When did you two first meet?
01:10:51Five years and four months ago.
01:10:53I don't understand.
01:10:55Last time you said it was six months ago, and the other one said it was eight months ago.
01:11:00We lied, officer.
01:11:03But it was five years ago.
01:11:05At a pool party.
01:11:06And we had our first kiss when we first met.
01:11:08It sounds pretty far-fetched.
01:11:13But for some reason, I want to give you two the benefit of the doubt.
01:11:18Daniel risked his life to save me and my mother.
01:11:32There's nothing more that he needs to do to prove his love for me.
01:11:36One last question.
01:11:37How frequently have you two spent the night together in the past week?
01:11:48Relax.
01:11:49I can tell it's been at least three times.
01:11:52Right.
01:11:53Well, that's my interview done.
01:11:55You two are quite the couple.
01:11:57Thank you, officer.
01:11:59Daniel.
01:12:00Daniel.
01:12:01She's coming.
01:12:02Who's coming?
01:12:03Who's coming?
01:12:03Who's coming?
01:12:03Who's coming?
01:12:07Your fiancƩe.
01:12:11That's who.
01:12:16Your fiancƩe.
01:12:18That's who.
01:12:19Ashley.
01:12:21I guess I'm not done yet.
01:12:23You betrayed my family's trust, Daniel.
01:12:26Ashley.
01:12:28Please.
01:12:29Can't we talk about this?
01:12:31So you're Jessica Miller, huh?
01:12:34Adrian's told me all about you.
01:12:36I don't know what Adrian told you, but it's not what you think.
01:12:41Daniel was supposed to marry me, and then you just waltzed in and ruined everything.
01:12:48Ashley.
01:12:49Our engagement was long over before Jessica came to the picture.
01:12:52Oh, I see.
01:12:57You think this is over.
01:13:01I'm the heiress of the Wimbledon family.
01:13:04The Thornton name is as good as ruined.
01:13:09You can't do that, Ashley.
01:13:14Watch me.
01:13:15You're not the only heiress here.
01:13:25I own Miller Empire.
01:13:29And if you come for the Thorntons, the Miller Empire is going to come for you so hard.
01:13:37You've got guts, Jessica.
01:13:44I like you.
01:13:47I gotta tell you, I didn't expect that.
01:13:51This is so much better than watching TV.
01:13:53Glad to see you've replaced me with someone with a little fire, Daniel.
01:13:56I always knew Daniel didn't love me, but he was too afraid of his father to ever go after
01:14:08his true love.
01:14:09But I guess I'm happy that he's found someone who wants the same things as him.
01:14:16So, that's it?
01:14:23That's it.
01:14:27Enjoy your happy ending, darling.
01:14:33Andrea, bring the car around.
01:14:38Did that actually just happen?
01:14:40Yeah.
01:14:41Wow.
01:14:43You two really don't let anyone or anything get in the way of true love.
01:14:48You didn't see that, Tony.
01:14:52This is all your fault, Mom.
01:14:54If you wouldn't have been so reckless, then maybe you wouldn't be in this mess.
01:14:56Don't put all the blame on me.
01:14:58You're just as much a part of this as I am.
01:15:00Where is Ashley?
01:15:01You should be here right now.
01:15:04Miss me?
01:15:05Where have you been?
01:15:06Just tying up a few loose ends.
01:15:08Don't worry about it.
01:15:09Everything's going according to plan.
01:15:12Plan?
01:15:13What plan?
01:15:14Everything's falling apart.
01:15:25What did you do, Adrian?
01:15:28Well, me, myself, I done nothing illegal.
01:15:31You two, on the other hand, that's a different story.
01:15:35You set us up!
01:15:36I'm just ensuring my own safety.
01:15:39After all, I kept my hands clean.
01:15:44Oh!
01:15:47Ow!
01:15:47You're not going to get away with this, asshole!
01:15:50I already have.
01:15:51I remember when this place was filled with warmth and laughter.
01:16:02It used to be a real family home back then.
01:16:06Then things just went south.
01:16:08Things will be fine again, Mom, I promise.
01:16:11We'll turn this into a good family house.
01:16:13No more hatred.
01:16:15No more backstabbing.
01:16:16Oh, I missed you every single day, Jess.
01:16:19I'm so sorry for everything both of us had to go through.
01:16:26Jessica?
01:16:27Well?
01:16:28I am so sorry for everything that I've done to you both.
01:16:34I was wrong.
01:16:36And I know I can never fully make up for it.
01:16:39But I want to try.
01:16:40James, you kept us apart for so many years.
01:16:44It's going to be hard to forgive and forget.
01:16:46I know, Clara.
01:16:50Jess, are you all right?
01:16:52Yeah, no, I'm fine.
01:16:58You know, I just feel...
01:17:00I just feel nauseous, that's all.
01:17:03Have you been getting any other symptoms, like...
01:17:06dizziness or fatigue?
01:17:08Well, yeah, but I just thought that was...
01:17:10from all the stress.
01:17:12Oh.
01:17:15Sweetheart.
01:17:16You're pregnant.
01:17:18Really?
01:17:18You're showing all the signs, Jess.
01:17:21We're going to have a baby.
01:17:25Wait.
01:17:27That means I'm going to be a grandpa.
01:17:30Yeah.
01:17:35Daniel.
01:17:42Something you need to do.
01:17:46What's this?
01:17:48This is a ring your grandma left.
01:17:51And I think this is the perfect time to use it.
01:17:55Go, Clara.
01:17:56You're going to do this?
01:17:57Yeah.
01:17:58Go.
01:18:00Oh.
01:18:08Jess.
01:18:09Jess.
01:18:11What?
01:18:11Jess, I know we've only ever spent time together a week during Christmas.
01:18:17And we've been through so much in that time.
01:18:20And over the past five years, all I've wanted to do is be with you.
01:18:24And I've had to endure the pain of that not being possible.
01:18:27I want to spend every waking moment in time with you.
01:18:30What I'm trying to say is, Jess.
01:18:37Will you marry me?
01:18:40For real this time?
01:18:43Yes, Daniel.
01:18:44Yes, I will marry you.
01:18:45Yes.
01:18:46Really?
01:18:46Yes.
01:18:47Yes.
01:18:47Yes.
01:18:48Yes.
01:18:50Yes.
01:18:51Yes.
01:18:51Yes.
01:18:52Yes.
01:18:52Yes.
01:18:57Yes.
01:18:57Yes.
01:18:57Yes.
01:18:58Yes.
01:18:59Yes.
01:18:59Yes.
01:19:00No worries.
01:19:01Yes.
01:19:01Yes.
01:19:02Thank you so much.
01:19:04What do you want?
