00:00:00Cheers, and I'll be full of surprises.
00:00:06Ho, ho, ho! I 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 signature from you.
00:00:18Oh, and 105 million dollars in cash.
00:00:24We're rich!
00:00:26Let me hold on to you.
00:00:27I'll be a baby.
00:00:28Yeah.
00:00:28You know, my whole life, I grew up in foster care,
00:00:33moving from place to place,
00:00:35and now I finally have a place that I can call home.
00:00:39It was real 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 be a yes.
00:01:05The movies were explained years ago.
00:01:07You're being deported.
00:01:08What? No, there must be some mistake.
00:01:10Adrienne, didn't you help me file my immigration paperwork?
00:01:12Oops.
00:01:13I guess I screwed up.
00:01:15What?
00:01:18Hey, baby.
00:01:19Hey.
00:01:20Adrienne, are you cheating on me?
00:01:22With her?
00:01:23Choose the right side, babe.
00:01:24You'll never win against them.
00:01:26That's true.
00:01:26Um, according to the terms of the will,
00:01:29non-citizens are not eligible to inherit the estate.
00:01:32Everything will pass through your next of kin,
00:01:35Lisa and Kristen Miller.
00:01:37You thought you could get rich overnight.
00:01:40Keep dreaming.
00:01:41Seriously?
00:01:42Bon voyage, half-sus.
00:01:51The 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.
00:01:58Oh, 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.
00:02:13I 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,
00:02:33and Miss Miller should be released immediately.
00:02:36Wait, wait, you can't report her.
00:02:38She is about to marry a U.S. citizen.
00:02:41Who's the lucky guy?
00:02:43I am.
00:02:44I marry her.
00:02:50A fake marriage won't save her.
00:02:51Our marriage is real.
00:02:53Yeah, 100% real.
00:02:55Prove it, then.
00:02:56That's it?
00:03:03You call that a kiss?
00:03:04No.
00:03:05No.
00:03:15No.
00:03:16No proof, officer?
00:03:16Look, this guy is a lawyer to some of the most important families in town.
00:03:21And if you don't let her go, then he'll make sure you'll get you to have a job.
00:03:24Fine, you can have her.
00:03:26Thank you, officer.
00:03:31I think we're good.
00:03:34It's not over.
00:03:35We'll be checking your marital service 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.
00:03:58Oh, it's no problem.
00:04:00But, 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.
00:04:12But once I get my green card, I'll inherit my father's business empire.
00:04:17And 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.
00:04:32And they've already stolen my fortune.
00:04:34And 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 all of them feel like full of 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.
00:05:34And 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?
00:05:42Daniel Thornton.
00:05:47My mother is gone because of you?
00:05:49Well, we had a little help from James Thornton.
00:05:52The most powerful man in the Thornton family.
00:05:56Wait.
00:05:57I recognize that face from the newspaper.
00:05:59That was James Thornton.
00:06:01From the Thornton family.
00:06:03The family responsible for my mother's disappearance.
00:06:05Stop telling me what I can and cannot do.
00:06:11She 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, I'm doing this to 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 married with Thornton.
00:06:50Wait, wait, wait.
00:06:51Jess, Jess.
00:06:51I'm not who you think I am.
00:06:53I have nothing to do with that family.
00:06:55Oh, really?
00:06:55Because your name is right here.
00:06:57On the marriage stick.
00:06:59I share the last name of Thornton.
00:07:01And I am not one of them.
00:07:02Thornton is a conny 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, he'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.
00:07:19Jess.
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.
00:07:35Oh.
00:07:37So you're a Labrador.
00:07:39That 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.
00:07:46Jess, 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...
00:08:00Jess, 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.
00:08:10I'll see you next time.
00:08:40I'll see you next time.
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?
00:08:52Just hang out next to the door.
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.
00:09:19Yeah.
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, welcome.
00:10:23What brings you here?
00:10:26Well, I have some good news for you.
00:10:29Jessica Miller, she's just closed a billion dollar deal.
00:10:33Take a look.
00:10:34Oh, my God.
00:10:48It's real.
00:10:50Absolutely.
00:10:51With her hard work and dedication, she's made this possible.
00:10:55It's a real shame you're going to lose such a valuable employee.
00:10:58Oh, Mr. Thornton, I have made a huge mistake.
00:11:03Uh, Jessica will stay.
00:11:07Good.
00:11:09And, uh, make sure nobody knows we had this conversation.
00:11:16Jessica!
00:11:17You should have told me!
00:11:22What are you talking about, Sam?
00:11:24Jessica, you secured a huge deal for the company!
00:11:29Did you not just fire her?
00:11:31I changed my mind.
00:11:32Jessica's saying, actually, 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.
00:11:45This is not over.
00:11:47I 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.
00:12:02Oh, my God.
00:12:04That's fantastic.
00:12:05No way.
00:12:16No way.
00:12:22Jessica?
00:12:23How's work?
00:12:24Did you get your job back?
00:12:26Daniel, 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, and 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.
00:13:03Who is this?
00:13:05He's my lawyer, and a damn good one.
00:13:07You 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 word with you outside?
00:13:18Talk all you want.
00:13:20It 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.
00:13:35The revised will is solid.
00:13:38Ted 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.
00:13:47You'll lose your license and any chance of practicing law or gain.
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.
00:13:58Um, this revised will is a fake.
00:14:06The original will stand.
00:14:07What the hell are you doing?
00:14:08He's doing the right thing.
00:14:11Jessica, you've got your inheritance back.
00:14:14Congratulations.
00:14:15Oh, my God.
00:14:19Patrick, do what you are supposed to do or James will make sure you face the consequences.
00:14:26Don't listen to him, 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, Jessica 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.
00:15:02I came here to be recognized as an actual member of this family.
00:15:05It's easy 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.
00:15:11I have none.
00:15:13And you took my mother away from me and 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 charity than 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.
00:15:34What the hell were you thinking?
00:15:44Sabotaging my plan?
00:15:46I was just doing the right thing.
00:15:47The right thing?
00:15:49Going 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?
00:15:58I 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, I'll do whatever you want.
00:16:12Whatever I want?
00:16:14Like what exactly?
00:16:16I'll marry Ashley.
00:16:19You'll marry Ashley?
00:16:20Yeah.
00:16:21You're willing to do that?
00:16:23Yeah, I am.
00:16:24But 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.
00:16:41I sure hope she's working.
00:16:43She is.
00:16:47What's wrong?
00:16:48We have a guest.
00:16:53Mr. 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.
00:17:11Interesting.
00:17:12And when did you decide to get married?
00:17:14Eight months ago.
00:17:15Six months ago.
00:17:15Six months or eight months?
00:17:17Which one is it?
00:17:18Yeah, eight months ago.
00:17:19Sorry, I just...
00:17:21Sorry, 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.
00:17:40I have everything I need.
00:17:41I'll report back to the judges.
00:17:45Oh, wait, uh, this.
00:17:49How did we do in there?
00:17:53It was pretty bad.
00:17:56Look.
00:17:58I'm the son of James Thornton.
00:18:00I know who you are.
00:18:02Uh, okay.
00:18:05You want to bribe me?
00:18:08Yes.
00:18:08I can't be bribed.
00:18:11Here'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.
00:18:33She 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.
00:18:55You're going to try and fool me.
00:18:56She gave us another chance.
00:19:02Oh, thank God.
00:19:03We have one week to get our story straight.
00:19:07Daniel, you've been very, very helpful today.
00:19:11Now, 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.
00:20:12You too.
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.
00:20:32You did.
00:20:32You did it.
00:20:33Oh, my God.
00:21:03Okay.
00:21:10This could be wrong.
00:21:12Maybe.
00:21:14Maybe not.
00:21:28So that is how you wish to live.
00:21:33You're an only fan.
00:21:47You're stuck.
00:21:49Hold on.
00:21:50I've got this.
00:21:51Oh.
00:21:51Oh.
00:21:52Oh.
00:21:53Oh.
00:22:53It's a long time family watches.
00:22:57Is it real?
00:22:58Uh-huh.
00:22:59No.
00:23:00It's fake.
00:23:03You wear a fake watch?
00:23:06Yeah.
00:23:06I'm so happy, Jess.
00:23:21There's also something I need to tell you about your mom.
00:23:24Oh, my God.
00:23:40Did I just sleep with Daniel last night?
00:23:43I told him it would only be a contract marriage.
00:23:45Good morning.
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.
00:24:02It was...
00:24:03It wasn't supposed to happen, and I promise it will never happen again.
00:24:06She didn't mean it.
00:24:10Oh, Jessica.
00:24:11Last night was amazing.
00:24:13Uh...
00:24:13Yeah, Jess, uh...
00:24:17I get it.
00:24:18It was, uh...
00:24:20It was a one-time thing.
00:24:22Yeah, just like...
00:24:24Just a one-time thing.
00:24:25Yeah.
00:24:25Anyway, it's, uh...
00:24:29Your big day today.
00:24:31You're the new CEO of the Miller Empire.
00:24:34Thank you for the reminder.
00:24:39But now that you mentioned it, I'm really scared.
00:24:42Oh, no, Jess, I didn't mean it like that.
00:24:46What 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, and I will make sure he doesn't vote for her.
00:25:12And I'll dig up all the dirt I can find on her.
00:25:15You go, girl.
00:25:19These clothes are beautiful, but, uh, very expensive.
00:25:32Like this one.
00:25:34That is...
00:25:35$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.
00:25:48Which 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, man.
00:26:10Wow.
00:26:11Well, 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.
00:26:22We'll take this one.
00:26:24Something on your mind?
00:26:26Well, it's probably nothing, but it's just...
00:26:29That clerk seemed very fond of you.
00:26:31Oh, uh...
00:26:33Being friendly is a part of my job.
00:26:35Okay.
00:26:36Okay.
00:26:36Okay.
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.
00:26:51Show on.
00:26:59What a slut.
00:27:00Trust 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.
00:27:14Look at you two little lovebirds.
00:27:18What the fuck?
00:27:21Ted, we're going to talk about this.
00:27:23Okay.
00:27:25You go in.
00:27:26I'll meet you in there soon, okay?
00:27:30Good luck in there, sis.
00:27:36You're going to need it.
00:27:38You don't have the votes.
00:27:42I know my background doesn't seem very typical of a CEO,
00:27:45but I built myself from the bottom up here.
00:27:48Miller Corporation is a leader in tech and services,
00:27:54reaching industries from healthcare to energy.
00:27:57We 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.
00:28:06I know them.
00:28:07And I believe that I can help lead this company
00:28:10to 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.
00:28:37Sorry 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?
00:28:58You see, everyone,
00:28:59this file contains multiple sexual harassment lawsuits
00:29:04against Richard over the past 30 years.
00:29:06Some of them also have ongoing lawsuits.
00:29:10They'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.
00:29:29The evidence is clear.
00:29:31He's guilty.
00:29:33Okay, then.
00:29:34Let's all vote for Richard Donaldson.
00:29:36We need a suspension.
00:29:38All in favor?
00:29:43We have 15 votes.
00:29:45The board has decided.
00:29:47Richard Donaldson is officially removed from his position.
00:29:50Security.
00:29:51Escort him out immediately.
00:29:53I know my way.
00:29:53And all in favor of appointing Jessica Miller as the new CEO.
00:30:02I'm sorry, doesn't he?
00:30:18I had to make sure I had enough evidence to mail him.
00:30:20No, don't be sorry, Daniel.
00:30:21That was so worth the wait.
00:30:23Good.
00:30:23This is not over.
00:30:27You'll see.
00:30:28How's packing going, Lisa?
00:30:29You're about to be evicted soon.
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.
00:30:45Why didn't you return my calls?
00:30:46I've been busy.
00:30:48Busy.
00:30:49Dealing with Jessica.
00:30:50How did you know?
00:30:52Oh, I know.
00:30:52And I think I know how to help you take it down.
00:30:55Again.
00:30:56No use to me anymore, Adrian.
00:30:58I only needed you to help me get better dressed in hell.
00:31:00To the new CEO of the Miller Empire.
00:31:06Oh, I have another Christmas surprise for you.
00:31:09Who are you calling?
00:31:13Is it?
00:31:14Yes, Jess.
00:31:15It's your mother, Clara.
00:31:16Oh, my God.
00:31:17Mom.
00:31:19Oh, Jessica, you're a grown woman now.
00:31:22The Miller family threatened to kill you, Jess.
00:31:24I had no option but to vanish.
00:31:27Oh, Mom, it's okay.
00:31:29It's okay.
00:31:30If you didn't do anything wrong,
00:31:31I'll bring you back into the country, I promised.
00:31:35Daniel, how did you find her?
00:31:37I have a few powerful friends.
00:31:38They did me a favor.
00:31:40But I'll leave you two alone.
00:31:51Two more, please.
00:31:54Daniel.
00:31:57Adrian.
00:31:58Long time no see, buddy.
00:31:59Oh, my God.
00:32:00How long has it been?
00:32:02Ten years.
00:32:02Ten years.
00:32:04Oh, my God.
00:32:05The last time I must have seen you was at law school.
00:32:09Yep.
00:32:10Go Reds.
00:32:11Go Reds.
00:32:13What are you doing here?
00:32:15Just in town to run some errands.
00:32:17Just want to come in for a quick bite.
00:32:19Nice, man.
00:32:20Nice.
00:32:20I saw your date earlier.
00:32:22I saw your date earlier.
00:32:22She looks pretty.
00:32:23Yeah, my wife.
00:32:25Your wife?
00:32:26Yeah, Jess.
00:32:27You're married?
00:32:27Yes.
00:32:28Yeah, you have to introduce me to her.
00:32:30Come on, let's go say hi.
00:32:32Come and say hello.
00:32:33It's good to see you, bud.
00:32:33Good to see you too, man.
00:32:35Jess, I wanted you to meet an old friend of mine.
00:32:38Adrian, this is Jess.
00:32:39Jess, this is Adrian.
00:32:40We went to law school together.
00:32:41I don't want to see him.
00:32:51I don't want to see him.
00:32:54You two know each other.
00:32:56Yes, Daniel.
00:32:57I was her first boyfriend.
00:33:02Come on, Jess.
00:33:03Don't you miss me.
00:33:04I don't want to see you anymore.
00:33:07You know you're still in love with me, Jess.
00:33:09No, I don't.
00:33:11I think you should leave, Adrian.
00:33:15Okay, Daniel.
00:33:16Relax.
00:33:17Now.
00:33:23I'm leaving.
00:33:27She knows she's lying.
00:33:32Boss, Adrian Wesley now represents the East Side Crystal Mirror.
00:33:36They want to petest the word.
00:33:37I should have known.
00:33:39What else?
00:33:39Adrian also needs to be, Jessica.
00:33:42Actually, he's the one who sabotaged Jessica's immigration paperwork.
00:33:46It caused all this trouble.
00:33:51That son of a bitch.
00:33:53We need to win this war.
00:33:55Do whatever it takes.
00:34:03Daniel?
00:34:03Daniel?
00:34:03Sorry.
00:34:06Did I wake you?
00:34:07No.
00:34:08Can...
00:34:08Can you join me in bed, please?
00:34:14You sure?
00:34:19I just...
00:34:20I wanted to apologize.
00:34:22For earlier.
00:34:23The restaurant.
00:34:24I got a bit carried away.
00:34:29Jess, you don't need to apologize.
00:34:32Adrian's an asshole.
00:34:33He's just trying to do it to get on your skin.
00:34:35I did care for Adrian once.
00:34:38But he just destroyed everything we had.
00:34:41I want you to know...
00:34:44That I'm...
00:34:44I'm here because of you.
00:34:46And you're the only one who I love.
00:34:52No one else.
00:35:03I love you too, Jess.
00:35:05And I'm not going anywhere.
00:35:06Good morning, husband.
00:35:21Morning, wife.
00:35:23Are you ready for your big days?
00:35:24The new CEO?
00:35:25If only you were with me.
00:35:26Okay.
00:35:26Okay.
00:35:36You're going to do great today.
00:35:54Jess?
00:35:55Here's your coffee.
00:35:59What's wrong?
00:36:00No, it's just...
00:36:01It's this job.
00:36:02It's all so new to me.
00:36:04Okay.
00:36:05Calm down.
00:36:06Remember.
00:36:07You're the CEO.
00:36:08Which means...
00:36:09You're the boss.
00:36:10Yeah, but I don't know how to be a boss.
00:36:13Hey, Jess.
00:36:15Look at you sitting in the big chair now.
00:36:18Oh, Gina.
00:36:18I am so happy you're here.
00:36:21Aw.
00:36:23You must be Daniel.
00:36:25Jessica's been talking about you for days.
00:36:29I'm flattered.
00:36:30I really wish you could be here with me, G.
00:36:32It's exhausting.
00:36:33Oh, at least you have a job, Jess.
00:36:34I've been looking for work for the past two months.
00:36:38Jess?
00:36:39Mm-hmm.
00:36:40Do you like Deanna being here?
00:36:44Of course.
00:36:46I've been besties since...
00:36:48forever.
00:36:49Yeah, what kind of question is that?
00:36:50Well, why don't you use your CEO power and hire Deanna?
00:36:56Oh, I know what you mean.
00:36:58I don't understand.
00:37:00How would you like to come work for me?
00:37:06Of course.
00:37:07Yes.
00:37:07Okay, then.
00:37:09My first order as a CEO.
00:37:12So, Gianna, you are hired as my personal assistant.
00:37:18Oh, my God, Jess.
00:37:18Thank you so much.
00:37:20See?
00:37:21Being a boss is easy.
00:37:23You can do whatever you want.
00:37:24Oh, my God.
00:37:33What's wrong?
00:37:34The company's stock prices are dropping like crazy.
00:37:37What is happening?
00:37:39This isn't me.
00:37:40The stock's here, don't they?
00:37:42Well, well, well.
00:37:44Looks like things aren't going so well.
00:37:47What did you do, Lisa?
00:37:48I asked Richard and some of the other investors to sell their stocks.
00:37:53The board members are not going to be happy about the stock prices, Jessica.
00:37:56What do you want?
00:37:58Resign as CEO or I will destroy this company.
00:38:02Yeah, no way.
00:38:03Okay.
00:38:05Then I will destroy this company.
00:38:07Jessica, the board members are asking to meet with you.
00:38:10They're angry.
00:38:15What are you going to do, Jess?
00:38:17Okay, I'll meet with the board.
00:38:20Wait, Jess.
00:38:22Don't go.
00:38:23Take a seat.
00:38:24What is it?
00:38:25Lisa, are you sure the stock prices are going down?
00:38:29Because to me, they seem to be going up and down.
00:38:33That's impossible.
00:38:34You would need at least a billion dollars.
00:38:37I guess anything's possible these days.
00:38:39God damn it!
00:38:41God, she's annoying.
00:38:42No, you must be my lucky star.
00:38:55Daniel.
00:38:57Jenna.
00:38:59I know who you are, Daniel.
00:39:00You're the son of James Thornton.
00:39:02How did you find out?
00:39:04My identity is meant to be a secret.
00:39:05I used to work for your father.
00:39:07Please don't tell Jess.
00:39:08I'll pay you.
00:39:09How much do you want?
00:39:10I don't want your money.
00:39:12I care for my friend.
00:39:14Actually, your father fired me because I tried to help Jessica.
00:39:17I'm sorry, Gina.
00:39:19It's okay.
00:39:19I just want to know why.
00:39:23She hates my family.
00:39:25I have to lie to her.
00:39:26She hates your family, but she loves you.
00:39:30I can see that.
00:39:32You really think so?
00:39:34Yes.
00:39:35I love her too.
00:39:36She's the best thing that's ever happened to me.
00:39:41That's good to hear.
00:39:42Please protect her.
00:39:43Please protect her.
00:39:43Daniel.
00:39:52It's my mom.
00:39:54Adrian threatened her.
00:39:59Adrian threatened my mom on the phone.
00:40:02He said he was going to block her from entering the country.
00:40:05What should we do?
00:40:07Jess, I don't want you to worry about it.
00:40:10I'm going to make sure your mom gets here safely.
00:40:11I'm going to make sure your mom gets here safely.
00:40:13Ted, I need you to make sure Jessica's mom gets here safely.
00:40:30We're going on the first flight out tomorrow.
00:40:31Got it, boss.
00:40:32She'll be here in town the day after tomorrow.
00:40:35Good.
00:40:41Jess has been taken care of.
00:40:43Your mom's going to be here the day after tomorrow.
00:40:46Thank you, Daniel.
00:40:49But I'm...
00:40:50I'm still scared.
00:40:52I just...
00:40:53I need a day off.
00:40:54I love the sound of that.
00:40:56What did you have in mind?
00:40:58I was thinking...
00:41:00I want to buy a house.
00:41:03Yes.
00:41:03Do you like this place?
00:41:15It's amazing.
00:41:17But, Jess, I appreciate the gesture.
00:41:20But you don't need to buy me a house.
00:41:23No.
00:41:24No.
00:41:24I insist.
00:41:26You have done so much to help me.
00:41:29Besides, we can live together here.
00:41:31Mr. Thornton.
00:41:33Hi.
00:41:33Your father is here.
00:41:35Are you meeting me here?
00:41:40Well, I've never met your parents.
00:41:44So, I'm pretty excited to meet an in-law.
00:41:47Oh, is that him?
00:41:51Come on, let's go say hi.
00:41:53Jess, wait.
00:41:54Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
00:41:56Um, I might not have told my dad about you and our marriage.
00:42:02Why?
00:42:03Uh, because he has a heart condition.
00:42:07I think it's best you stay here.
00:42:09Uh, okay.
00:42:11I'll just be here then.
00:42:16Good.
00:42:20Dad.
00:42:22Evelyn.
00:42:22Evelyn.
00:42:23What the hell?
00:42:24Jessica's here.
00:42:25She can't see her face.
00:42:26Don't.
00:42:26Take them off.
00:42:28I want to talk to you about Ashley, Daniel.
00:42:30Why hasn't Daniel told his father about me and our wedding?
00:42:38Ashley, really?
00:42:39Not today.
00:42:42And what is this shirt you're wearing?
00:42:44Your mother insisted I'm wearing this charity event in the white ride.
00:42:49Said it makes me look more grounded.
00:42:52And approachable.
00:42:55And don't go changing our subject.
00:42:57I want to discuss our agreement.
00:42:59I give you Clara and you marry Ashley.
00:43:06Why does he look so nervous?
00:43:09Am I not good enough?
00:43:13Do we have to talk about this right now?
00:43:16I held up my end of the bargain, Daniel.
00:43:18I want this deal done now.
00:43:20Actually, Clara isn't safe yet.
00:43:23They said Miller White trying to be sabotaging everything.
00:43:25This is why you don't mess with the Miller family.
00:43:28You shouldn't have left her alone.
00:43:30All I'm asking is just a few more days.
00:43:32She needs to come into town in a few days.
00:43:34What?
00:43:36Jess.
00:43:38Jess.
00:43:38Dad, this is Jess.
00:43:48Jess, this is Dad.
00:43:50You can call him Jimmy.
00:43:52Jimmy?
00:43:52Hmm?
00:43:55I'm Jimmy, sweetie.
00:43:56It's lovely to meet you, Jimmy.
00:43:59And can I just say, that is a lovely Hawaiian shirt.
00:44:02It really, really suits you.
00:44:04Well, thank you, Jessica.
00:44:06It's one I'm fond of.
00:44:09So, who is Ashley?
00:44:12I heard you guys talking about her earlier.
00:44:14Oh.
00:44:15She's just an old family friend.
00:44:18They grew up and went to law school together.
00:44:21Oh.
00:44:22And she had Daniel's first kiss.
00:44:25Oh.
00:44:26Her wedding is approaching soon, and I'd like Daniel to attend.
00:44:31Damn.
00:44:33Got reminiscing about the good old days.
00:44:34No, it's fine.
00:44:35Honestly, it's lovely to hear about Daniel's childhood and more about his life.
00:44:39You bastard child.
00:44:41Well, well, what do we have here?
00:44:49You think you can afford this place?
00:44:51You're about to lose this battle and be out on the streets soon.
00:44:56Who's this clown?
00:44:59Looks like he belongs in a circus.
00:45:01How dare you, Kristen?
00:45:03How do you know my name?
00:45:05And don't you dare call me by my first name.
00:45:08That's enough.
00:45:08Don't talk to my father like that.
00:45:13Oh.
00:45:14Oh.
00:45:15He's your father.
00:45:17Hmm.
00:45:18How does it feel to be a father of such a loser?
00:45:21Don't talk to my family like that.
00:45:24Your family.
00:45:25Your family suck, Jessica.
00:45:28Especially your mother.
00:45:30The home-wrecking tramp.
00:45:32A whore.
00:45:34Oh.
00:45:38How dare you slap me?
00:45:56That is enough, Kristen.
00:46:00You're not going to lay a hand on my wife.
00:46:04Ladies, you need to live now.
00:46:07You can't throw us out.
00:46:08We're buyers.
00:46:09We're not going anywhere.
00:46:10The owner of this property has wanted you from coming here.
00:46:12You need to live now.
00:46:13I will consider it.
00:46:16You will regret this.
00:46:19I've heard that a thousand times.
00:46:23Now leave.
00:46:24Thank you, Jessica.
00:46:34You stood up for me.
00:46:36Well, we're family, Jimmy.
00:46:38That's what I'm supposed to do.
00:46:39Well, I appreciate it.
00:46:45You're a nice girl.
00:46:47I found a good wife, son.
00:46:51Dad.
00:46:52About Ashy's wedding.
00:46:54I don't think I'm going to be able to make it.
00:46:56I'll look into it.
00:46:57I'll speak to her about it.
00:46:58Oh, no, no, no, no.
00:47:00Daniel can still attend.
00:47:01It's not a problem.
00:47:03Jess, I just want to focus on you and I.
00:47:05I'm not the jealous type.
00:47:07Why is I don't want you to miss your first crush's wedding?
00:47:11Well, you decide, Daniel.
00:47:14Oh, there's a long party.
00:47:16You two want to come?
00:47:17It's in three hours.
00:47:19Yeah.
00:47:21Dad, we'll go.
00:47:22Great.
00:47:24I'll see you there.
00:47:25Well, this place is extremely high class.
00:47:39Well, my dad has a few rich friends.
00:47:45And James Thornton is here.
00:47:48I know you don't want to see him.
00:47:51But Jess, your dad's here.
00:47:53He's going to join us later.
00:47:54Okay.
00:47:56The bidding's about to start.
00:48:01Oh, the bitch is here!
00:48:03I know.
00:48:04Don't worry, we can teach him a lesson.
00:48:06Yeah, how?
00:48:07Let's see if Daniel can handle a little humiliation.
00:48:11With money.
00:48:12With money?
00:48:13What money?
00:48:13I haven't gotten my inheritance back yet.
00:48:15Yeah, I know.
00:48:16Your mother spoke to Richard.
00:48:17He said he's willing to donate some cash if we make Jessica look ugly.
00:48:20Oh.
00:48:21You look bad.
00:48:25I know.

00:49:53Where did you get that money from?
00:49:55Well, do you remember me telling you about I have a powerful friend?
00:50:00Yeah, the one who helped me find my mother.
00:50:03Jessica?
00:50:04James Thornton.
00:50:06In the flesh.
00:50:07Or Mrs. Thornton.
00:50:09I want to apologize to you.
00:50:11I am truly sorry for everything I did to you and your mother.
00:50:15But I'm trying my best to make amends.
00:50:18Well, I don't know what to say.
00:50:22Jess, I know it's a lot to handle.
00:50:23You've just got to trust me.
00:50:24Yeah, but why didn't you just tell me in the first place, Daniel?
00:50:28Jess!
00:50:29Jessica!
00:50:30Don't follow me!
00:50:35Oh, this could get interesting.
00:50:38Uh-huh.
00:50:41Oh, look who's all alone.
00:50:51You know, just leave me alone.
00:50:53You're never going to win against James Thornton.
00:50:54He's my mother's best friend.
00:50:57You're going to lose everything.
00:50:58Poor babe.
00:50:59Still played by the big boys.
00:51:00Yes.
00:51:01James Thornton and his son have been playing you all along.
00:51:04Wait, what did you just say?
00:51:07James Thornton and his son.
00:51:09Wait, Jess, you didn't know?
00:51:10Daniel Thornton is his son.
00:51:14Oh, my God.
00:51:16I didn't know that.
00:51:17But now that I do...
00:51:18That's enough!
00:51:21Oh, excuse me, Mr. Thornton.
00:51:24Crown Prince said to the Thornton family.
00:51:26This man's been lying to you all along.
00:51:37Poor little girl's got no one to trust.
00:51:39Both of you.
00:51:40Get out of here.
00:51:43Hey.
00:51:50Jess, I've been trying to tell you.
00:51:52Am I a joke?
00:51:53It's you.
00:51:54No.
00:51:54What do you mean?
00:51:55You and your father.
00:51:58You've been playing me this whole time.
00:52:00No.
00:52:01I've been standing by your side all the time, Jess.
00:52:03I can't trust you.
00:52:06You lied to me.
00:52:07You're right.
00:52:09You're right.
00:52:12I have been hiding things from you.
00:52:15You know what I haven't told you yet?
00:52:19Another big secret.
00:52:21Are you sure you want to hear this?
00:52:25The other big secret is...
00:52:29The first time we met is in the next few days.
00:52:33It was five years ago.
00:52:35Five years ago?
00:52:36Yes.
00:52:37At a party.
00:52:40I was drunk and I fell in the pool.
00:52:41Oh, thank God you're alive.
00:52:55I was drowning when you saved my life.
00:52:56But you won't remember that
00:52:59But I will forever be grateful for what you did for me that day
00:53:03That was you
00:53:06Yes
00:53:07My father forbid me from seeing you
00:53:09But I didn't care
00:53:11I confronted him
00:53:13You can't tell me what to do, Dad
00:53:15You can't stop me from seeing her
00:53:16I'm doing what's best for you, Daniel
00:53:18That girl and all her family are nothing but trouble
00:53:22And then he decided to tell me about everything he did to you and your mom
00:53:25And I felt so guilty
00:53:27It's okay
00:53:28I was ashamed to approach you
00:53:32I just didn't know how to face you without making things worse
00:53:35And I thought the best thing to do was just be guilty
00:53:37No, I know
00:53:39And then I heard about you being deported and I just couldn't let that happen
00:53:42Well
00:53:43I saved you
00:53:46And you saved me
00:53:49Because we just belong together
00:53:53Eww
00:53:57Corny
00:53:58I just
00:54:00No more secrets
00:54:03Okay?
00:54:06I promise
00:54:07No more secrets
00:54:09You're up early
00:54:25Yeah

00:54:28Better sooner than later

00:54:34And I'll bring her straight to the office
00:54:35Thanks
00:54:36You're the best
00:54:37Well, that was better than I thought
00:54:43Don't underestimate yourself, Jess
00:54:44You'd be great
00:54:45Heya, Jess

00:55:34There is nothing more to hide
00:55:35And did they also tell you Daniel is supposed to marry his childhood sweetheart?
00:55:41What?
00:55:42Ashley Wimbledon
00:55:44Heiress to the famous Wimbledon family
00:55:46Ring any bells?
00:55:47Ashley
00:55:52Ashley
00:55:53Who is Ashley?
00:55:55I heard you guys talking about her earlier
00:55:57Oh, she's just an old childhood friend
00:56:01They grew up and went to law school together
00:56:03And she had Daniel's first kiss
00:56:10He did mention Ashley
00:56:15He did?
00:56:16Yeah, but he's not gonna marry her
00:56:18I remember that conversation
00:56:23Daniel's picking my mother up from the airport himself
00:56:25I'll be seeing her soon
00:56:28What are you laughing about?
00:56:30Who?
00:56:33Daniel is bringing her back, babe
00:56:36You're not gonna see her
00:56:40After years of separation with your mother
00:56:43Daniel didn't let you go along with him to meet with her?
00:56:46Now what kind of a husband does that?
00:56:48I had an early meeting this morning
00:56:49And Daniel didn't want me to worry
00:56:52So easily manipulated Jess
00:56:55Just like old times
00:56:56Yeah
00:56:58Well, I don't believe a word you say
00:57:01Daniel isn't gonna bring her back
00:57:03Can I find out together?
00:57:05Are you sure everything is taken care of?
00:57:06Yes
00:57:07You're free to live in this country
00:57:08Clara, I also want to apologize for everything you went through years ago
00:57:09I'm deeply sorry
00:57:10Well, you did bring me back here
00:57:11Right now I just want to see my daughter
00:57:13We'll go, sir
00:57:14Not so fast, Danny boy
00:57:15You're too late, Lisa
00:57:16You're too late, Lisa
00:57:17Clara's here to claim Robert's inheritance back
00:57:18Oh, I don't think so
00:57:19Agents, do you think?
00:57:20Wait
00:57:21What?
00:57:22This is a mistake
00:57:23No
00:57:24Clara's got past customs
00:57:25She can stay
00:57:26Sweetheart, you really think those little documents can stop this?
00:57:27I don't think so
00:57:28Back off, Lisa

00:57:39Just stay strong
00:57:40Sis, it looks like you've been screwed
00:57:42You're too late, Lisa
00:57:43You're too late, Lisa
00:57:44Clara's here to claim Robert's inheritance back
00:57:45Oh, I don't think so
00:57:46Agents, do you think?
00:57:47Wait
00:57:48What?
00:57:49What?

00:57:59Jess
00:58:01You're screwed by the Thorntons again
00:58:02Adrian
00:58:03You sabotaged this
00:58:04You'll pay for this
00:58:05See, babe
00:58:06I told you he's not bringing it back
00:58:08You said everything was taken care of
00:58:10Jess, it's not me, it's them
00:58:12You're lying, Daniel
00:58:13Why don't you ask him about that thing we talked about?
00:58:15Jess
00:58:18Jess
00:58:19He said that you were gonna marry Ashley
00:58:21Okay, so it's true
00:58:22Jess
00:58:23Can we just talk about this?
00:58:25No
00:58:26No, no, no, no
00:58:27Thing is, Daniel
00:58:28You promised me
00:58:29No more secrets
00:58:30I can't trust you anymore
00:58:32Jess
00:58:33Kitty, it's just
00:58:34Looks like you lost, Daniel
00:58:35You never get in the back
00:58:37Oh, thank God you're alive
00:58:39Oh, thank God you're alive
00:58:40Oh, thank God you're alive
00:58:44Oh, thank God you're alive
00:58:46Oh, thank God you're alive
00:58:59Yes, I've stayed
00:59:00Oh, thank God you're alive
00:59:01Oh, thank God you're alive
00:59:02I do like this
00:59:03You just understand me
00:59:04I do like this
00:59:17Oh...
00:59:17That was the problem with Clara.
00:59:24Her paperwork was false.
00:59:26You're right, boss.
00:59:27I check with customers in the U.S. CIS.
00:59:29The legal confirm that she illegally entered the country.
00:59:31I killed them.
00:59:33What is it, boss?
00:59:36Agents, do you think?
00:59:38Wait.
00:59:38What?
00:59:39This is a mistake.
00:59:40No.
00:59:41Jess.
00:59:42Jess, baby!
00:59:43Mom!
00:59:44The ICE agents weren't real.
00:59:48They were hired by Adrian and Lisa to kidnap Clara.
00:59:51Hold on, thanks.
00:59:54You're right, boss.
00:59:55We found out those people wanted them.
00:59:57What should we do?
00:59:59I need to find out where they took them.
01:00:01Use all our contacts.
01:00:02I'm not going to let them get away with this.
01:00:04On it, boss.
01:00:12Well, well, well.
01:00:14Clara, you thought you didn't expect to see me again, did you?
01:00:17We finally have what it takes to get it all back?
01:00:20Don't look at me like that.
01:00:21You disgust me.
01:00:28Jess, we need to talk.
01:00:29I don't want to talk to you.
01:00:30It's about your mom.
01:00:31I think she was kidnapped by Adrian and Lisa's people.
01:00:34The ICE agents weren't real.
01:00:36What are you talking about?
01:00:38I spoke to Ted.
01:00:39He told me that Clara legally came into the country.
01:00:42It was a setup.
01:00:43Do you actually expect me to believe that?
01:00:46After all the lies, you're so full of shit, Daniel!
01:00:49Hello, bastard child.
01:00:57Yes, we have your mother.
01:00:59And if you ever want to see her again, follow the directions to the address that we just sent you.
01:01:03And don't bring anyone.
01:01:05Especially Daniel.
01:01:09Let me come with you.
01:01:10No, they won't be alone.
01:01:11I don't want to respond.
01:01:12Jess.
01:01:12Don't follow me.
01:01:13I will not let you do this alone.
01:01:20Mom?
01:01:22Bastard child, over here.
01:01:24Let her go.
01:01:25This has gone far enough.
01:01:27Not so fast, sis.
01:01:29This is only the beginning.
01:01:30You sign this.
01:01:36We let her go.
01:01:38And what is it?
01:01:39An agreement signing everything over to us.
01:01:42The house.
01:01:43Company.
01:01:45Everything.
01:01:53Signed.
01:01:55Now let her go.
01:01:56God, you are so naive, sis.
01:01:59What more do you want?
01:02:02Get down on your knees and show that you know your place.
01:02:08Get down on your knees and show that you know your place.
01:02:12Wait.
01:02:17That's better.
01:02:17Now, bark like a dog.
01:02:29Come on.
01:02:34That's enough, Kristen.
01:02:39We're getting hurt, come on.
01:02:46Let's get her out of here.
01:02:47Come on.
01:02:48Let's go.
01:02:49Come on, Daniel.
01:02:53Oh, my God.
01:02:55We need to finish this.
01:02:56We gotta go.
01:02:57Come on.
01:02:58Daniel.
01:03:03Jess.
01:03:06Don't try and tell the police.
01:03:08They're underway.
01:03:09Jess.
01:03:10I'm so sorry.
01:03:12Why are you all chasing?
01:03:13Just don't move.
01:03:17Well, the doctor said it was nothing serious, so you'll be out of here soon.
01:03:28Jess, I just want to apologize.
01:03:30I am so sorry.
01:03:32Daniel, what are you apologizing for?
01:03:35You saved my mom.
01:03:36You saved us.
01:03:39Hello again, Mr. Thornton.
01:03:41Officer, you're here.
01:03:42Yes.
01:03:43You promised me last week we'd get that interview done.
01:03:48Officer, my husband is injured.
01:03:50He's literally lying in bed.
01:03:52Well, that doesn't change the requirements.
01:03:55Jess, it's okay.
01:03:58We can do the interview.
01:03:58We can do the interview.
01:04:05Are you insane?
01:04:07We haven't rehearsed this.
01:04:09Jess, don't you see?
01:04:11We've been rehearsing this whole Christmas.
01:04:13There's no better time to do this.
01:04:15You're right.
01:04:18We're ready, officer.
01:04:20Let's start with the question I asked you last week.
01:04:23When did you two first meet?
01:04:24Five years and four months ago.
01:04:26I don't understand.
01:04:28Last time you said it was six months ago
01:04:31when the other one said it was eight months ago.
01:04:32We lied, officer.
01:04:35But it was five years ago.
01:04:37At a pool party.
01:04:38And we had our first kiss when we first met.
01:04:43It sounds pretty far-fetched.
01:04:45But for some reason,
01:04:47I want to give you two the benefit of the doubt.
01:04:52It sounds pretty far-fetched.
01:04:53But for some reason,
01:04:56I want to give you two the benefit of the doubt.
01:04:59Daniel risked his life to save me and my mother.
01:05:02There's nothing more that he needs to do
01:05:04to prove his love for me.
01:05:05One last question.
01:05:07How frequently have you two spent the night together
01:05:09in the past week?
01:05:16Relax.
01:05:16I can tell it's been at least three times.
01:05:20Right, well, that's my interview done.
01:05:22You two are quite the couple.
01:05:24Thank you, officer.
01:05:26Daniel.
01:05:26Daniel.
01:05:27Daniel.
01:05:28She's coming.
01:05:29Who's coming?
01:05:36Your fiancée.
01:05:38That's who.
01:05:42Your fiancée.
01:05:44That's who.
01:05:44Ashley.
01:05:46I guess I'm not done yet.
01:05:48You betrayed my family's trust, Daniel.
01:05:51Ashley.
01:05:53Please.
01:05:54Can't we talk about this?
01:05:55So you're Jessica Miller, huh?
01:05:58Adrian's told me all about you.
01:06:00I don't know what Adrian told you,
01:06:02but it's not what you think.
01:06:05Daniel was supposed to marry me,
01:06:07and then you just waltzed in and ruined everything.
01:06:10Ashley.
01:06:11Our engagement was long over before Jessica came to the picture.
01:06:17Oh.
01:06:18I see.
01:06:19You think this is over.
01:06:22I'm the heiress of the Wimbledon family.
01:06:26The Thornton name is as good as ruined.
01:06:30You can't do that, Ashley.
01:06:31Ashley.
01:06:31Watch me.
01:06:39You're not the only heiress here.
01:06:44I own Miller Empire.
01:06:48And if you come for the Thorntons,
01:06:51the Miller Empire is going to come for you so hard.
01:06:56You've got guts, Jessica.
01:07:01I like you.
01:07:05I gotta tell you, Alec,
01:07:07I didn't expect that.
01:07:08This is so much better than watching TV.
01:07:10Glad to see you've replaced me with someone with a little fire, Daniel.
01:07:13I always knew Daniel didn't love me,
01:07:20but he was too afraid of his father to ever go after his true love.
01:07:25But I guess I'm happy
01:07:27that he's found someone who wants the same things as him.
01:07:31So...
01:07:34That's it.
01:07:37That's it.
01:07:41Enjoy your happy ending, darling.
01:07:46Andrea, bring the car around.
01:07:51Did that actually just happen?
01:07:53Yeah.
01:07:54Wow.
01:07:55You two really don't let anyone or anything get in the way of true love.
01:08:00You didn't see that coming.
01:08:04This is all your fault, Mom.
01:08:05If you wouldn't have been so reckless,
01:08:06then maybe you wouldn't be in this mess.
01:08:08Don't put all the blame on me.
01:08:09You're just as much a part of this as I am.
01:08:11Where is Adrian?
01:08:12You should be here right now.
01:08:14Miss me?
01:08:15Where have you been?
01:08:16Just tying up a few loose ends.
01:08:18Don't worry about it.
01:08:20Everything's going according to plan.
01:08:22Plan?
01:08:22What plan?
01:08:23Everything's falling apart.
01:08:30What did you do, Adrian?
01:08:36Well, me, myself, I've done nothing illegal.
01:08:39You two, on the other hand, that's a different story.
01:08:43You set us up!
01:08:44I'm just ensuring my own safety.
01:08:47After all, I kept my hands clean.
01:08:54Ow!
01:08:54You're not going to get away with this, asshole!
01:08:57I already have.
01:08:58Fuck!
01:08:58I remember when this place was filled with warmth and laughter.
01:09:08It used to be a real family home back then.
01:09:11Then things just went south.
01:09:13Things will be fine again, Mom, I promise.
01:09:16We'll turn this into a good family house.
01:09:18No more hatred.
01:09:20No more backstabbing.
01:09:21I missed you every single day, Jess.
01:09:23I'm so sorry for everything both of us had to go through.
01:09:26Mom.
01:09:28Jessica.
01:09:31Clara.
01:09:33I am so sorry for everything I've done to you both.
01:09:37I was wrong.
01:09:38And I know I can never fully make up for it.
01:09:42But I want to try.
01:09:43James, you kept us apart for so many years.
01:09:46It's going to be hard to forgive and forget.
01:09:48I know, Clara.
01:09:52Jess, are you all right?
01:09:55Yeah, I know.
01:09:57I'm fine.
01:09:58And I just feel so nauseous, that's all.
01:10:03Have you been getting any other symptoms, like dizziness or fatigue?
01:10:08Well, yeah, but I just thought that was from all the stress.
01:10:11Oh.
01:10:14Sweetheart.
01:10:15You're pregnant.
01:10:17Really?
01:10:17You're showing all the signs, Jess.
01:10:21We're going to have a baby?
01:10:24Wait.
01:10:25That means I'm going to be a grandpa.
01:10:28Yeah.
01:10:29Yeah.
01:10:29Oh, kid.
01:10:31Daniel.
01:10:32Oh.
01:10:33Oh.
01:10:36Daniel.
01:10:39Something you need to do.
01:10:43What's this?
01:10:44This is a ring your grandma left.
01:10:47And I think this is the perfect time to use it.
01:10:51Okay.
01:10:51I'm going to do this.
01:10:52Yeah.
01:10:53Come on.
01:10:55Oh.
01:11:02Jess.
01:11:04Jess.
01:11:05Okay.
01:11:06Uh.
01:11:07Jess, I know we've only ever spent time together a week during Christmas.
01:11:10And we've been through so much in that time.
01:11:13And over the past five years, all I've wanted to do is be with you.
01:11:17And I've had to endure the pain of that not being possible.
01:11:20I want to spend every waking moment in time with you.
01:11:23What I'm trying to say is, Jess,
01:11:24will you marry me?
01:11:32For real this time.
01:11:34Yes, Daniel.
01:11:35Yes, I will marry you.
01:11:36Yes.
01:11:37Really?
01:11:37Yes.
01:11:38Yes.
01:11:54Yes.
01:12:05Okay.
01:12:05Yes.
01:12:05Yes.
01:12:05Yes.
01:12:05Yes.
01:12:06Yes.
01:12:07Yes.
