00:00:00Cheers.
00:00:04You may be full of surprises.
00:00:06Ho, 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 and assets worth over a billion dollars.
00:00:16I just need a citizen from you.
00:00:18Oh, and 105 million dollars in cash.
00:00:24Rich!
00:00:25Let me hold on to you.
00:00:27I'll be a baby.
00:00:28Yeah.
00:00:29You know what?
00:00:29My whole life.
00:00:30I grew up in foster care.
00:00:33I'm moving from place to place.
00:00:35And now I finally have a place that I can call home.
00:00:39It must feel great to win the jackpot.
00:00:41No, my only wish is to reunite with my mother.
00:00:44You bastard child.
00:00:46You will never reunite with your mother.
00:00:48We made sure that that whore is gone forever.
00:00:51My mother is gone because of you?
00:00:53Well, we had a little help from James Thornton.
00:00:56The most powerful man in the Thornton family.
00:01:00Time for you to go back to your poor little country, sis.
00:01:03Yes, ma'am.
00:01:04You must see, I guess.
00:01:05The movies were explained years ago.
00:01:06You're being deported.
00:01:07What?
00:01:08No, there must be some mistake.
00:01:09Adrian, didn't you help me file my immigration paperwork?
00:01:13Whoops.
00:01:14I guess I screwed up.
00:01:15What?
00:01:17Hey, baby.
00:01:19Hey.
00:01:20Adrian, are you cheating on me?
00:01:21With her?
00:01:23Choose the right side, babe.
00:01:24We'll never win against them.
00:01:25That's true.
00:01:26Um, according to the terms of the will, non-citizens are not eligible to inherit the estate.
00:01:33Everything will pass to your next of kin, Lisa and Kristen Miller.
00:01:37You thought you could get rich overnight.
00:01:40Keep dreaming.
00:01:41Seriously?
00:01:42Bon voyage, half sis.
00:01:43The boss is a surgeon.
00:01:52They're about to deport a woman named Jessica Miller.
00:01:55Jessica Miller?
00:01:58It's her.
00:02:06Oh, thank God you're alive.
00:02:07She's so beautiful and kind.
00:02:09The girl I've always dreamed of.
00:02:11She saved my life once.
00:02:12I owe her.
00:02:17Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
00:02:19Jessica?
00:02:20Do I know this?
00:02:21She doesn't remember me.
00:02:27I'm Daniel.
00:02:28You're a lawyer.
00:02:29Just pretend we know each other.
00:02:30I can get you out of here.
00:02:32We've spoken to the judge, and Miss Miller should be released immediately.
00:02:36We can get to Porter's.
00:02:38She is about to marry a U.S. citizen.
00:02:39Who's a lucky guy?
00:02:43I am.
00:02:44I marry her.
00:02:50A fake marriage won't save her.
00:02:52Our marriage is real.
00:02:53Yeah.
00:02:54A hundred percent real.
00:02:55Prove it then.
00:02:56That's it?
00:03:03You call that a kiss?
00:03:04Any more proof, officer?
00:03:16Look, this guy is a lawyer to some of the most important families in town.
00:03:21Karen, if you don't let her go, then he'll make sure you lose your damn job.
00:03:24Fine, you can have her.
00:03:26Thank you, officer.
00:03:27Guys, I think we're good.
00:03:34It's not over.
00:03:37We'll be checking your marital status and conducting interviews.
00:03:40And there are a few very specific requirements you should know.
00:03:43Make sure you two are staying in the same house and sleeping in the same bed.
00:03:47Or it's game over.
00:03:48Well, thank you for the rescue.
00:03:57Oh, it's no problem.
00:03:59But, um, Daniel, would you, would you marry me?
00:04:06Oh, Jessica, I've waited for this moment for five years.
00:04:09I mean, it would only be a contract marriage, but once I get my green card, I'll inherit my father's business empire, and I'll share half of it with you.
00:04:20Even your misunderstanding looks so cute.
00:04:22I only want you, Jessica.
00:04:24But before I get my green card, you're going to have to help me deal with my stepsister and her mom.
00:04:30They're trying to get rid of me, and they've already stolen my fortune, and they made my mother disappear.
00:04:36Deal.
00:04:40What?
00:04:41That's it?
00:04:44This lily stands for loyalties and new beginnings.
00:04:48Something that I want with you.
00:04:50Now I know it's rushed.
00:04:52But I promise you, I will buy you a proper ring soon.
00:04:56From now on, let's make every Christmas on and fill it with memories.
00:05:20You, you can't do this!
00:05:22Jess, it's okay.
00:05:23Just wait here.
00:05:24I'll handle it.
00:05:24What?
00:05:31Why are you helping that girl?
00:05:32Kristen Miller is our ally, and she wants her the hell out of this picture.
00:05:36It's too late, Dad.
00:05:37We already got married.
00:05:39Are you insane?
00:05:40Did you forget you're supposed to marry Ashley?
00:05:45Daniel Thornton.
00:05:47My mother is gone because of you?
00:05:49Well, we had a little help from James Thornton, the most powerful man in the Thornton family.
00:05:56Wait.
00:05:56I recognize that face from the newspaper.
00:05:59That was James Thornton from the Thornton family.
00:06:02The family responsible for my mother's disappearance.
00:06:05Stop telling me what I can and cannot do.
00:06:10She saved my life.
00:06:12I owe it to her.
00:06:13Roll the hell up, Daniel.
00:06:14You need to remember your position as the heir to our family.
00:06:18And you need to divorce that girl.
00:06:20Now.
00:06:20I'm doing this.
00:06:21To clean your mess up.
00:06:23Just leave us alone.
00:06:31Sorry about that.
00:06:33Is your name Daniel Thornton?
00:06:37Yeah.
00:06:38The Thornton family are responsible for the disappearance of my mother.
00:06:43I have been searching for her my entire life.
00:06:47Jess.
00:06:48I can explain.
00:06:49I'm not marrying Thornton.
00:06:50Wait, wait, wait, Jess, Jess.
00:06:51I'm not who you think I am.
00:06:53I have nothing to do that by me.
00:06:55Oh, really?
00:06:55Because your name is right here.
00:06:56On the marriage stick.
00:06:59I share the last name as Thornton.
00:07:01And I am not one of them.
00:07:02Thornton is a common name.
00:07:04Just an ordinary girl.
00:07:05Really?
00:07:05Well, I don't believe you.
00:07:06I saw you talking to James Thornton.
00:07:09Is he your father?
00:07:12Is he your father?
00:07:14No.
00:07:14He's not my father.
00:07:15He was threatening to drive you out of the country.
00:07:17And I was not going to have anything to do with it.
00:07:18Jess.
00:07:19I'm on your side.
00:07:20If you're not one of them, I'm very sorry.
00:07:26It's okay.
00:07:28Don't worry about it.
00:07:32Well, you have a nice apartment.
00:07:35Welcome.
00:07:37So you're a Labrador.
00:07:38That looks exactly like mine.
00:07:40I got mine as a Christmas present when I was nine.
00:07:42No way.
00:07:43I got mine as a Christmas present when I was nine.
00:07:45It's crazy.
00:07:45Jess, we're going to have to sleep in the same room together just in case immigration ambush us.
00:07:53Yeah, but are you sure you're okay sleeping on the carpet?
00:07:57I mean, you've done so much for me already and it just...
00:07:59Jess, please.
00:08:00I insist.
00:08:01We made a deal, remember.
00:08:03I also want to thank you for giving me the chance to get rich.
00:08:07It's okay, Daniel.
00:08:09It's okay, Daniel.
00:08:09I just want to thank you for giving me the chance to get rich.
00:08:39No.
00:08:42No, no, no, no.
00:08:43I was just passing by and just...
00:08:46Do you need anything?
00:08:48I was joking.
00:08:49Yeah, could you pass me a towel?
00:08:52It's just hanging out.
00:08:53Thanks for doing it.
00:08:54Yeah, sure.
00:08:59Oh my God.
00:09:09What?
00:09:10I just got fired.
00:09:11What?
00:09:13Oh, wait, Jess, let me go with you.
00:09:18Yeah.
00:09:29Sam, please, don't fire me.
00:09:31I'm sorry, Jess, but your immigration issue put us in a tough spot.
00:09:36I worked for this company for years.
00:09:39I'm sorry, Jess.
00:09:40There's nothing I can do.
00:09:43I'm sorry.
00:09:44Look who's here.
00:09:50Someone who just got fired.
00:09:53This suits you.
00:09:54It was you.
00:09:59I should have known you were behind this.
00:10:01I'm not going to let you stay here and ruin things.
00:10:03I'm going to take away everything you have, sister.
00:10:05You just made a big mistake, sir.
00:10:11Who are you?
00:10:12My name is Daniel Thornton, son of James Thornton, the chairman of Thornton Enterprise.
00:10:18Oh, Mr. Thornton.
00:10:21Welcome.
00:10:22What brings you here?
00:10:25Well, I have some good news for you.
00:10:29Jessica Miller, she's just closed a billion dollar deal.
00:10:33Take a look.
00:10:43Oh, my God.
00:10:48It's real.
00:10:50Absolutely.
00:10:51With her hard work and dedication, she's made this possible.
00:10:54It's a real shame you're going to lose such a valuable employee.
00:10:58Oh, Mr. Thornton, I have made a huge mistake.
00:11:04Jessica will stay.
00:11:07Good.
00:11:09And make sure nobody knows we have this conversation.
00:11:16Jessica, you should have told me.
00:11:22What are you talking about, sir?
00:11:24Jessica, you secured a huge deal for the company.
00:11:28Did you not just fire her?
00:11:31I changed my mind.
00:11:33Jessica's staying.
00:11:34Actually, she's being promoted to sales manager.
00:11:39Can't afford to lose someone as valuable as, like, her?
00:11:42Great.
00:11:43Thanks, Sam.
00:11:44This is not over.
00:11:50I can't believe it.
00:11:51Jessica kept her job and she gets promoted.
00:11:54Don't worry, Lisa.
00:11:55I just spoke with James Thornton and he had the lawyer change the will in our favor.
00:12:00Jessica will get nothing.
00:12:01Oh, my God.
00:12:03That's fantastic.
00:12:15No way.
00:12:16Jessica, how's work?
00:12:24Did you get your job back?
00:12:25Daniel, I need a lawyer.
00:12:28Well, look who decided to show up.
00:12:37Too bad for you, Jess.
00:12:38Turns out Daddy's will left you nothing.
00:12:41I knew all along Robert wouldn't leave anything for this little, pathetic, bastard child.
00:12:47You are out of luck.
00:12:49Well, that's a lie.
00:12:50You showed me the will.
00:12:52And I signed the documents.
00:12:54I'm sorry, Jessica.
00:12:56I've just discovered a revised will that supports Kristen and Lisa's claims.
00:13:03Mr. Thornton.
00:13:04Who is this?
00:13:05He's my lawyer.
00:13:06And a damn good one.
00:13:07Oh.
00:13:09You know, Jess, I didn't realize you had enough money to pay for a fancy little lawyer.
00:13:13You sleep with them?
00:13:15Patrick, can I have a work with you outside?
00:13:17Talk all you want.
00:13:19It won't change anything.
00:13:28All right, Patrick.
00:13:29I'm going to keep this short and sweet.
00:13:31I know you changed the will to favor Kristen and Lisa.
00:13:33I know what you're talking about, Mr. Thornton.
00:13:36The revised will saw it.
00:13:37Ted found an email exchange with my father.
00:13:40Here, take a look.
00:13:42You've been caught, Patrick.
00:13:44Honor of the will, I'll report you to the Bar Association.
00:13:46You'll lose your license and any chance of practicing law or game.
00:13:49That goes against your father's wishes.
00:13:51You don't understand the position you put me in.
00:13:53I'll deal with my father.
00:13:54Don't you worry about that.
00:13:56You just worry about doing the right thing.
00:14:03Um, this revised will is a fake.
00:14:05The original will stand.
00:14:06What the hell are you doing?
00:14:08He's doing the right thing.
00:14:09Jessica, you've got your inheritance back.
00:14:14Congratulations.
00:14:16Oh, my God.
00:14:19Patrick, do what you are supposed to do,
00:14:21or James will make sure you face the consequences.
00:14:26Don't listen to it, Patrick.
00:14:28I'll deal with James Thornton.
00:14:29Who the hell do you think you are?
00:14:32James Thornton is one of the most powerful men in this town.
00:14:35I sure can.
00:14:36Isn't that right, Patrick?
00:14:38Yes.
00:14:39The original will stands.
00:14:40No, you are crazy.
00:14:42No, I'm not.
00:14:43According to the original will,
00:14:45Jessica stands to inherit this mansion.
00:14:47Kristen, you're out.
00:14:49I think you two should leave.
00:14:51You homewrecker.
00:14:52Just like your mother.
00:14:54I will not allow violence.
00:14:57I didn't come here to argue over a house and assets.
00:15:01I came here to be recognized as an actual member of this family.
00:15:05Yeah, yeah, D.C., for you to say you're getting everything.
00:15:07You don't know how lucky you are, Lisa.
00:15:09You grew up with a father who loved you.
00:15:12I have none.
00:15:12And you took my mother away from me,
00:15:15and I still don't know where she is.
00:15:18You two don't deserve this mansion.
00:15:20And I would rather give it away to Cherry
00:15:23than to see the two of you living in.
00:15:31You two should pack your things up.
00:15:33You have one week to leave this house.
00:15:35What the hell were you thinking?
00:15:44Sabotaging my plan?
00:15:46I was just doing the right thing.
00:15:47The right thing?
00:15:48Going against me?
00:15:50Kristen Miller has got no power anymore.
00:15:53Her game is over.
00:15:54I'm sure you didn't come all this way just to argue with me.
00:15:57So what do you want?
00:15:59I just want Jessica to get her mom back.
00:16:01Interesting.
00:16:07What's in it for me?
00:16:08Once Jessica gets her mom back,
00:16:10I'll do whatever you want.
00:16:12Whatever I want?
00:16:14Like what exactly?
00:16:16I'll marry Ashley.
00:16:18You'll marry Ashley?
00:16:20Yeah.
00:16:21You're willing to do that?
00:16:23Yeah.
00:16:23I am.
00:16:25But only if she's reunited with her mother.
00:16:29Okay.
00:16:30Deal.
00:16:32I'll make the arrangements.
00:16:34So you're really in love with this one, huh?
00:16:36Yeah.
00:16:38I am.
00:16:39Okay, good.
00:16:40I sure hope she's working.
00:16:43She is.
00:16:43What's wrong?
00:16:49We have...
00:16:50a guest.
00:16:52Mr. Thornton.
00:16:54Good to see you again.
00:16:56Interview time.
00:16:57Great.
00:17:00When did you two meet?
00:17:01Uh, we met at a friend's party two years ago.
00:17:05What do you say, Jessica?
00:17:07Huh?
00:17:08Oh, yeah, yeah.
00:17:10Mm-hmm.
00:17:10Interesting.
00:17:11And when did you decide to get married?
00:17:14Eight months ago.
00:17:15Six months ago.
00:17:16Six months or eight months?
00:17:17Which one is it?
00:17:18Yeah, eight months ago.
00:17:19Sorry, I just...
00:17:20Sorry, I'm always getting mixed up.
00:17:23Sure.
00:17:24Easy mistake to make.
00:17:26And what's your anniversary date?
00:17:28March 15th.
00:17:30March 15th?
00:17:32All right.
00:17:36Uh, that's it?
00:17:38Yes, Mr. Thornton.
00:17:39I have everything I need.
00:17:41I'll report back to the judges.
00:17:45Oh, wait.
00:17:46Uh, miss.
00:17:49How did we do in there?
00:17:53It was...
00:17:54pretty bad.
00:17:56Look.
00:17:58I'm the son of James Thornton.
00:18:00I know who you are.
00:18:02Uh, okay.
00:18:03You want to bribe me?
00:18:08Yes.
00:18:09I can't be bribed.
00:18:10Here's one million dollars.
00:18:16Two million dollars.
00:18:18Right.
00:18:22Three.
00:18:23Million dollars.
00:18:24It's tempting, but like I said, you can't bribe me.
00:18:27Please.
00:18:28Can you just give us one more a week to prepare?
00:18:30I really want to be with this woman.
00:18:32She means the world to me.
00:18:34She saved my life.
00:18:35I'm not going to take your money, but I'll give you one week.
00:18:38Make it count.
00:18:41Next time, I want to see some genuine affection between you two.
00:18:43If anything seems a bit off, your game's up.
00:18:46Of course.
00:18:47And one more thing.
00:18:49I can tell you two haven't had sex yet.
00:18:52I'm that good, Mr. Daniel.
00:18:55Don't try for me.
00:18:56She gave us another chance.
00:19:02Oh, thank God.
00:19:03We have one week to get our story straight.
00:19:06Thank you, Daniel.
00:19:08You've been very, very helpful today.
00:19:10Now, I wanted to make our first Christmas special, so I did a little digging, and I found this.
00:19:32This tree's amazing.
00:19:38What happened?
00:19:39Let me have a look.
00:19:42I have a festive gift.
00:20:12Prude.
00:20:19Wow.
00:20:21Jess, you look gorgeous.
00:20:28And then, I told him that's not how you negotiate.
00:20:31You did it.
00:20:31You did.
00:20:32Huh?
00:20:42I'm out.
00:20:43I'm out.
00:20:46You did it.
00:20:50I'm out.
00:20:52This could be wrong.
00:21:11Maybe.
00:21:13Maybe not.
00:21:22Now that is how you know what you should have.
00:21:33You're an only fan.
00:21:47You're stuck.
00:21:49Hold on, I've got this.
00:21:50Uh-oh.
00:22:20I've got this.
00:22:21I've got this.
00:22:23I've got this.
00:22:25I've got this.
00:22:27I've got this.
00:22:28I've got this.
00:22:30I've got this.
00:22:32I've got this.
00:22:34I've got this.
00:22:35I've got this.
00:22:37I've got this.
00:22:38I've got this.
00:22:40I've got this.
00:22:42I've got this.
00:22:43I've got this.
00:22:44I've got this.
00:22:45I've got this.
00:22:46I've got this.
00:22:47I've got this.
00:22:48I've got this.
00:22:49I've got this.
00:22:50I've got this.
00:22:52I've got this.
00:22:53I've got this.
00:22:54I've got this.
00:22:55I've got this.
00:22:56I've got this.
00:22:57I've got this.
00:22:59I've got this.
00:23:00I've got this.
00:23:01I've got this.
00:23:02I've got this.
00:23:03I've got this.
00:23:04You wear a fake watch.
00:23:06Yeah.
00:23:16I'm so happy, Jess.
00:23:21There's also something I need to tell you about your mom.
00:23:28Yes.
00:23:30I can't tell you.
00:23:34Oh, my God.
00:23:40Did I just sleep with Daniel last night?
00:23:43I told him it would only be a contract marriage.
00:23:53Morning.
00:23:54This is the most beautiful morning that I've ever had.
00:23:57Daniel, I'm...
00:23:58I'm so sorry about last night.
00:24:01It wasn't supposed to happen, and I promise it will never happen again.
00:24:08She didn't mean it.
00:24:09Oh, Jessica.
00:24:10Last night was amazing.
00:24:15Yeah, Jess.
00:24:17I get it.
00:24:17It was a...
00:24:18It was a one-time thing.
00:24:21You know, just like, just a one-time thing.
00:24:25Yeah.
00:24:27Anyway, it's, uh, your big day today.
00:24:30You're the new CEO of the Miller Empire.
00:24:34Thank you for the reminder.
00:24:36Now that you mentioned it, I'm really scared.
00:24:41Oh, no, Jess.
00:24:43I didn't mean it like that.
00:24:45Uh, what I was meant to say is...
00:24:48I'm gonna help.
00:24:49I don't know what to do, Mother.
00:24:56That bitch is kicking us out.
00:24:57We still have a chance.
00:24:59That bastard child needs a unanimous vote from the board to be chosen as the next CEO.
00:25:04So we just need a board member to back us up.
00:25:07I will call Richard.
00:25:08Everyone respects Richard's vote.
00:25:10And I will make sure he doesn't vote for her.
00:25:13And I'll dig up all the dirt I can find on her.
00:25:15You go, girl.
00:25:16These clothes are beautiful, but, uh, very expensive.
00:25:32Like this one.
00:25:33That is $9,000.
00:25:37Jess, don't worry about it.
00:25:39It's on me.
00:25:40Look at it as, uh, my first gift to my wife.
00:25:43You know what?
00:25:44Daniel, I can't let you pay for this.
00:25:46Look, Jess, you're gonna be a CEO, which means you've got to look the part.
00:25:50Trust me.
00:25:51It's an investment.
00:25:54Mr. Thornton, welcome back.
00:25:56How can I assist you today?
00:25:57Come here a lot?
00:25:58Uh, no.
00:25:59Well, of course, Mr. Thornton owns this store.
00:26:02Uh, Jess, why don't you try this one on?
00:26:06You'll look great.
00:26:10Wow.
00:26:11Oh, Jess, you look amazing.
00:26:14You think so?
00:26:15Yeah.
00:26:17This is exactly what a CEO would wear.
00:26:19Absolutely.
00:26:20Great choice.
00:26:21We'll take this one.
00:26:24Something on your mind?
00:26:26Well, it's probably nothing, but it's just that clerk seemed very fond of you.
00:26:31Oh, uh, being friendly is a part of my job.
00:26:35Okay.
00:26:41So that's how you got your lawyer, huh?
00:26:45Now that you mention it, maybe she was a little friendly.
00:26:49But we got a discount.
00:26:51Sure.
00:26:52What a slut.
00:27:04Trust me, Jess.
00:27:05You can do this.
00:27:06Yeah, but what if they don't accept me?
00:27:08They will.
00:27:09Trust me.
00:27:10Just speak from the heart.
00:27:11Show the true self.
00:27:13Look at you two little lovebirds.
00:27:17What's that?
00:27:21Ted.
00:27:22Talk about this little.
00:27:23Okay.
00:27:25You go in.
00:27:26I'll meet you in there soon, okay?
00:27:33Good luck in there, sis.
00:27:36You're gonna need it.
00:27:37You don't have the votes.
00:27:41I know my background doesn't seem very typical of a CEO,
00:27:45but I built myself from the bottom up here.
00:27:47Miller Corporation is a leader in tech and services,
00:27:54reaching industries from healthcare to energy.
00:27:56We have over 10,000 employees worldwide
00:28:01who've worked hard to build this company from the ground up.
00:28:04And I was one of them.
00:28:05I know them.
00:28:06And I believe that I can help lead this company to become everyone's company.
00:28:12Let's proceed to the vote.
00:28:14All in favor?
00:28:15Robert lost his damn mind.
00:28:21He picked his secret child to be the CEO,
00:28:23only because of his guilty conscience.
00:28:26Richard, if I may...
00:28:27I'm not done talking.
00:28:29You can't lead us.
00:28:30And you're not getting my vote.
00:28:33Richard, if I may speak...
00:28:35Go ahead.
00:28:36But I won't change my mind.
00:28:40Sorry for interrupting everyone,
00:28:42but I have something important to share with you all today.
00:28:44Who the hell are you?
00:28:46Well, Richard, I'm the person who's going to expose you.
00:28:49What did you just say?
00:28:51How do I say this?
00:28:52Uh, you're a sex pervert.
00:28:55What?
00:28:56You see, everyone,
00:29:00this file contains multiple sexual harassment lawsuits
00:29:04against Richard over the past 30 years.
00:29:08Some of them also have ongoing lawsuits.
00:29:11They're all just allegations,
00:29:12and they've all been settled.
00:29:13I'm innocent.
00:29:14We've also got in contact with some of the victims,
00:29:16and they're willing to come forward and testify.
00:29:18Actually, I have not finished yet.
00:29:20You're also stealing money from the company,
00:29:22and we have financial records to prove it.
00:29:26The evidence is clear.
00:29:31He's guilty.
00:29:33Okay, then.
00:29:34Let's all vote for Richard Donnell's immediate suspension.
00:29:38All in favor?
00:29:43We have 15 votes.
00:29:45The board has decided.
00:29:47Richard Donnell is officially removed from his position.
00:29:50Security.
00:29:51Escort him out immediately.
00:29:52I know my way.
00:29:56And all in favor of appointing Jessica Miller as the new CEO.
00:30:02I'm sorry, Kathleen.
00:30:18I had to make sure I had enough evidence to nail him.
00:30:20No, don't be sorry, Daniel.
00:30:21That was so worth the wait.
00:30:23Good.
00:30:25This is not over.
00:30:27You'll see.
00:30:28How's packing going, Lisa?
00:30:29You're about to be a victim, sir.
00:30:30She won again, that bitch.
00:30:38I know.
00:30:39It's so unfair.
00:30:40Do we have a guest?
00:30:41Lisa, honey.
00:30:43I've been trying to reach you.
00:30:44Why haven't you returned my calls?
00:30:46I've been busy.
00:30:48Busy.
00:30:49Even with Jessica.
00:30:50How did you know?
00:30:51Oh, I know.
00:30:52And I think I know how to help you take it down.
00:30:55Again.
00:30:56You know he used to be anymore, Adrienne.
00:30:58I only needed you to help me get a better dress like that.
00:31:01To the new CEO of the Miller Empire.
00:31:06Well, I couldn't have done it without you, Daniel.
00:31:08I also have another Christmas surprise for you.
00:31:12Who are you calling?
00:31:16Is it?
00:31:16Yes, Jess.
00:31:18It's your mother, Clara.
00:31:19Oh, my God.
00:31:20Mom.
00:31:21Oh, Jessica, you're a grown woman now.
00:31:25The Miller family threatened to kill you, Jess.
00:31:27I had no option but to vanish.
00:31:30Oh, Mom, it's okay.
00:31:32It's okay that you didn't do anything wrong.
00:31:34I'll bring you back into the country, I promised.
00:31:38Daniel, how did you find her?
00:31:39I have a few powerful friends.
00:31:41They did me a favor.
00:31:43But I'll leave you to alone.
00:31:44Two more, please.
00:31:57Daniel.
00:32:00Adrian.
00:32:01Long time no see, buddy.
00:32:02Oh, my God.
00:32:03How long has he been?
00:32:05Ten years.
00:32:05Ten years.
00:32:06Oh, my God.
00:32:08The last time I must have seen him was at law school.
00:32:11Yep.
00:32:13Go Reds.
00:32:13Go Reds.
00:32:16What are you doing here?
00:32:18Just in town to run some errands.
00:32:20Just want to come in for a quick bite.
00:32:22Nice, man.
00:32:22Nice.
00:32:23I saw your date earlier.
00:32:25She looks pretty.
00:32:26Yeah, my wife.
00:32:28Your wife.
00:32:29Yeah, Jess.
00:32:30You're married.
00:32:30Yes.
00:32:31Yeah, you have to introduce me, will I?
00:32:33Come on, let's go say hi.
00:32:34Come and say hello.
00:32:35It's good to see you, bud.
00:32:36Good to see you too, man.
00:32:37Jess.
00:32:39I want you to meet an old friend of mine.
00:32:40Adrian, this is Jess.
00:32:42Jess, this is Adrian.
00:32:43We went to law school together.
00:32:49I don't want to see him.
00:32:50I don't want to see him.
00:32:57You two know each other.
00:32:59Yes, Daniel.
00:33:00I was her first boyfriend.
00:33:05Come on, Jess.
00:33:06Don't you miss me.
00:33:07I don't want to see you anymore.
00:33:09I know you still don't want me, Jess.
00:33:12No, I don't.
00:33:16I think you should leave, Adrian.
00:33:18Okay, Daniel.
00:33:19Relax.
00:33:20Now.
00:33:26I'm leaving.
00:33:30She knows she's lying.
00:33:35Boss.
00:33:36Adrian Wesley now represents Levi-Cristian Miller.
00:33:38They wanted to test the war.
00:33:40I should have known.
00:33:42What else?
00:33:43Adrian also used me, Jessica.
00:33:45Actually, he's the one who sabotaged Jessica's immigration paperwork.
00:33:49It caused all this trouble.
00:33:54That son of a bitch.
00:33:56We need to win this war.
00:33:57Do whatever it takes.
00:34:06Daniel?
00:34:08Sorry.
00:34:09Did I wake you?
00:34:10No.
00:34:10Can...
00:34:11Can you join me in bed, please?
00:34:17Are you sure?
00:34:22I just...
00:34:23I wanted to apologize for earlier.
00:34:26The restaurant.
00:34:30I got a bit carried away.
00:34:32Jess, you don't need to apologize.
00:34:33Adrian's an asshole.
00:34:36He's just trying to do it to get on your skin.
00:34:38I did care for Adrian once.
00:34:41But he just destroyed everything we had.
00:34:44I want you to know...
00:34:46That I'm...
00:34:47I'm here because of you.
00:34:50And you're the only one who I love.
00:34:55No one else.
00:34:55I love you too, Jess.
00:35:08And I'm not going anywhere.
00:35:09I love you too, Jess.
00:35:09Good morning, husband.
00:35:24Good morning, wife.
00:35:26Are you ready for your big days?
00:35:27Then you see you?
00:35:28The filming you were with me.
00:35:29You're going to do great today.
00:35:57Jess, here's your coffee.
00:36:02What's wrong?
00:36:03No, it's just...
00:36:04It's this job.
00:36:05It's all so new to me.
00:36:07Okay, calm down.
00:36:09Remember, you're the CEO.
00:36:11Which means you're the boss.
00:36:13Yeah, but I don't know how to be a boss.
00:36:16Hey, Jess.
00:36:17Look at you sitting in the big chair now.
00:36:21Oh, Gina, I am so happy you're here.
00:36:24Aw.
00:36:26You must be Daniel.
00:36:27Jessica's been talking about you for days.
00:36:31I'm flattered.
00:36:33I really wish you could be here with me, G.
00:36:34It's exhausting.
00:36:36Oh, at least you have a job, Jess.
00:36:38I've been looking for work for the past two months.
00:36:41Jess?
00:36:42Mm-hmm.
00:36:42Do you like Gianna being here?
00:36:47Of course.
00:36:49We've been besties since forever.
00:36:52Yeah, what kind of question is that?
00:36:53Well, why don't you use your CEO power and hire Gianna?
00:36:59Oh, I know what you mean.
00:37:02I don't understand.
00:37:03How would you like to come work for me?
00:37:09Of course.
00:37:10Okay, then.
00:37:12My first order as a CEO.
00:37:16Gianna, you are hired as my personal assistant.
00:37:19Oh, my God, Jess, thank you so much.
00:37:23See?
00:37:24Being a boss is easy.
00:37:26You can do whatever you want.
00:37:30Oh, my God.
00:37:36What's wrong?
00:37:36The company's stock prices are dropping like crazy.
00:37:40What is happening?
00:37:42This isn't me.
00:37:44The stock's here, don't they?
00:37:45Well, well, well.
00:37:47Looks like things aren't going so well.
00:37:50What did you do, Lisa?
00:37:51I asked Richard and some of the other investors to sell their stocks.
00:37:56The board members are not going to be happy about the stock prices, Jessica.
00:37:59What do you want?
00:38:01Resign as CEO or I will destroy this company.
00:38:04Yeah, no way.
00:38:06Okay.
00:38:08Then I will destroy this company.
00:38:10Jessica, the board members are asking to meet with you.
00:38:13They're angry.
00:38:18What are you going to do, Jess?
00:38:20Okay, I'll meet with the board.
00:38:22Wait, Jess.
00:38:25Don't go.
00:38:25Take a seat.
00:38:27What is it?
00:38:28Lisa, are you sure the stock prices are going down?
00:38:32Because to me, they seem to be going up and up.
00:38:35That's impossible.
00:38:37You would need at least a billion dollars.
00:38:39I guess anything's possible these days.
00:38:42God damn it!
00:38:44God, she's annoying.
00:38:45No, you must be my lucky star.
00:38:58Daniel.
00:39:00Jenna.
00:39:01I know who you are, Daniel.
00:39:03You're the son of James Thornton.
00:39:05How did you find out?
00:39:07My identity is meant to be a secret.
00:39:08I used to work for your father.
00:39:10Please don't tell Jess.
00:39:11I'll pay you.
00:39:12How much do you want?
00:39:13I don't want your money.
00:39:14I care for my friend.
00:39:17Actually, your father fired me because I tried to help Jessica.
00:39:20I'm sorry, Gina.
00:39:22It's okay.
00:39:24I just want to know why.
00:39:26She hates my family.
00:39:28I have to lie to her.
00:39:29She hates your family, but she loves you.
00:39:33I can see that.
00:39:35You really think so?
00:39:37Yes.
00:39:37I love her, too.
00:39:39She's the best thing that's ever happened to me.
00:39:43That's good to hear.
00:39:45Please protect her.
00:39:53Daniel.
00:39:55It's my mom.
00:39:57Adrian threatened her.
00:40:02Adrian threatened my mom on the phone.
00:40:04He said he was going to block her from entering the country.
00:40:07What should we do?
00:40:10Jess, I don't want you to worry about it.
00:40:13I'm going to make sure your mom gets here safely.
00:40:28Ted.
00:40:30I need you to make sure Jessica's mom gets here safely.
00:40:33We're going to the first flight out tomorrow.
00:40:34Got it, boss.
00:40:35She'll be here in town the day after tomorrow.
00:40:37Good.
00:40:44Jess has been taken care of it.
00:40:46Your mom's going to be here the day after tomorrow.
00:40:49Thank you, Daniel.
00:40:50But I'm still scared.
00:40:55I just, I need a day off.
00:40:58I love the sound of that.
00:40:59What do you have in mind?
00:41:00I was thinking...
00:41:02I want to buy a house.
00:41:06I want to buy a house.
00:41:14So?
00:41:17Do you like this place?
00:41:18It's amazing.
00:41:20But, Jess, I appreciate the gesture.
00:41:22But you don't need to buy me a house.
00:41:26No, no.
00:41:27I insist.
00:41:29You have done so much to help me.
00:41:32Besides, we can live together here.
00:41:34Mr. Taunton.
00:41:36Hi.
00:41:36Your father is here.
00:41:38Are you meeting here?
00:41:43Well, I've never met your parents.
00:41:47So, I'm pretty excited to meet an in-law.
00:41:50Oh, is that him?
00:41:54Come on, let's go say hi.
00:41:56Jess, wait.
00:41:57Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
00:42:01I might not have told my dad about you and our marriage.
00:42:05Why?
00:42:08Because he has a heart condition.
00:42:10I think it's best you stay here.
00:42:12Okay.
00:42:14I'll just stay here, then.
00:42:19Good.
00:42:20Dad?
00:42:24I'm on.
00:42:25What the hell?
00:42:27Jessica's here.
00:42:27She can't see her face.
00:42:29Don't take them off.
00:42:31I want to talk to you about Ashley, Daniel.
00:42:34Why hasn't Daniel told his father about me and our wedding?
00:42:40Ashley, really?
00:42:42Not today.
00:42:44And what is this shirt you're wearing?
00:42:47Your mother insisted I'm wearing.
00:42:49Miss Charity of that in the morning.
00:42:51Right.
00:42:52Said it makes me look more grounded.
00:42:54And I vote you up.
00:42:57And don't go changing our subject.
00:43:00I want to discuss our agreement.
00:43:02I give you Clara and you marry Ashley.
00:43:04Why does he look so nervous?
00:43:12Am I not good enough?
00:43:16Do we have to talk about this right now?
00:43:18I held up my end of the bargain, Daniel.
00:43:21I want this deal done now.
00:43:23Actually, Clara isn't safe yet.
00:43:25Lisa Miller might try to be sabotaging everything.
00:43:28This is why you don't mess with the Miller family.
00:43:31You shouldn't have left it alone.
00:43:33All I'm asking is just a few more days.
00:43:35She is coming to town in a few days.
00:43:37What?
00:43:38Jess.
00:43:40Jess.
00:43:49Dad, this is Jess.
00:43:51Jess, this is Dad.
00:43:53You can call him Jimmy.
00:43:55Jimmy?
00:43:55Hmm?
00:43:58I'm Jimmy, sweetie.
00:44:00It's lovely to meet you, Jimmy.
00:44:02And can I just say, that is a lovely Hawaiian shirt.
00:44:05It really, really suits you.
00:44:07Well, thank you, Jessica.
00:44:09It's one I'm fond of.
00:44:12So, who is Ashley?
00:44:15I heard you guys talking about her earlier.
00:44:17Oh, she's just an old family friend.
00:44:22They grew up and went to law school together.
00:44:25And she had Daniel's first kiss.
00:44:28Oh.
00:44:29Her wedding is approaching soon,
00:44:32and I'd like Daniel to attend.
00:44:34And then I'm reminiscing about the good old days.
00:44:37No, it's fine.
00:44:38Honestly, it's lovely to hear about Daniel's childhood
00:44:40and more about his life.
00:44:42You bastard child.
00:44:44Shh.
00:44:48Well, well.
00:44:50What do we have here?
00:44:51You think you can afford this place?
00:44:54You're about to lose this battle
00:44:56and be out on the streets soon.
00:44:59Who's this clown?
00:45:00Looks like he belongs in a circus.
00:45:04How dare you, Kristen!
00:45:06How do you know my name?
00:45:08And don't you dare call me by my first name.
00:45:10That's enough!
00:45:13Don't talk to my father like that.
00:45:16Oh.
00:45:17Oh.
00:45:18He's your father.
00:45:21How does it feel to be a father of such a loser?
00:45:23Don't talk to my family like that.
00:45:27Your family.
00:45:28Your family suck, Jessica.
00:45:31Especially your mother.
00:45:33The home-wrecking tramp.
00:45:35A whore.
00:45:36Oh.
00:45:37How dare you slap me!
00:45:59That is enough, Kristen.
00:46:03I'm not going to lay a hand on my mother.
00:46:04Ladies, you need to live now.
00:46:10You can't throw us out.
00:46:11We're buyers.
00:46:12We're not going anywhere.
00:46:13The owner of this property
00:46:14has wanted you from coming here.
00:46:15You need to live now
00:46:16or I will consider it.
00:46:19You will regret this.
00:46:23I've heard that a thousand times.
00:46:25Now leave.
00:46:26Okay.
00:46:27Okay.
00:46:29Okay.
00:46:30Okay.
00:46:30Thank you, Jessica.
00:46:37You stood up for me.
00:46:39Well, we're family, Jimmy.
00:46:41That's what I'm supposed to do.
00:46:45Look.
00:46:46I appreciate it.
00:46:48You're a nice girl.
00:46:50I found a good wife, son.
00:46:51Dad.
00:46:55About Ashy's wedding.
00:46:56I don't think I'm going to be able to make it.
00:46:58I'll look into it.
00:47:00I'll speak to her about it.
00:47:01Oh, no.
00:47:02No, no, no, no.
00:47:03Daniel can still attend.
00:47:04It's not a problem.
00:47:05Jess, I just want to focus on you and I.
00:47:08I'm not the jealous type.
00:47:10Plus, I don't want you to miss
00:47:11your first crush's wedding.
00:47:12Well, you decide, Daniel.
00:47:16Oh, there's a long party.
00:47:19You two want to come?
00:47:20It's in three hours.
00:47:22Yeah.
00:47:24That will go.
00:47:25Right.
00:47:27I'll see you there.
00:47:28Bye.
00:47:37Well, this place is extremely high class.
00:47:40Well, my dad has a few rich friends.
00:47:48And James Thornton is here.
00:47:51I know you don't want to see him.
00:47:54But Jess, my dad's here.
00:47:56He's going to join us later.
00:47:57Okay.
00:47:59The bidding's about to start.
00:48:04Oh, that bitch is here!
00:48:06I know.
00:48:07Don't worry.
00:48:08We can teach him a lesson.
00:48:09Yeah, how?
00:48:09Let's see if Daniel can handle
00:48:11a little humiliation.
00:48:14With money.
00:48:15Dude, with money?
00:48:16What money?
00:48:16I haven't gotten my inheritance back yet.
00:48:18Yeah, I know.
00:48:18Your mother spoke to Richard.
00:48:20He said he's willing to donate some cash
00:48:22if we make Jessica look ugly.
00:48:23Oh.
00:48:26You look bad.
00:48:28I know.
00:48:29I know.
00:48:30I know.
00:48:30I know.
00:48:30I know.
00:48:30I know.
00:48:31I know.
00:48:34Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to this evening's auction.

00:49:01What are they doing?
00:49:02Where did they get that money from?
00:49:03I don't know, but I'm definitely trying to humiliate you here.
00:49:06Really?
00:49:07But I don't even care about this bit.

00:49:12Daniel, what are you doing?

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