00:00:00Cheers, may I be full of surprises.
00:00:07Ho, ho, ho! I have a gift for you.
00:00:10Jessica, you have inherited this mansion,
00:00:13along with your father's business empire and assets worth over a billion dollars.
00:00:18I just need a signature from you.
00:00:20Oh, and a hundred and five million dollars in cash.
00:00:27We're rich!
00:00:29Let me hold on to you for your baby.
00:00:32You know, my whole life I grew up in foster care,
00:00:37moving from place to place,
00:00:39and now I finally have a place that I can call home.
00:00:44It was real great to win the jackpot.
00:00:46Now my only wish is to reunite with my mother.
00:00:50You bastard child!
00:00:52You will never reunite with your mother.
00:00:54We made sure that that whore is gone forever.
00:00:58My mother is gone because of you?
00:01:00Well, we had a little help from James Thornton,
00:01:03the most powerful man in the Thornton family.
00:01:07Time for you to go back to your poor little country, sis.
00:01:10Yes, ma'am.
00:01:11U.S.C.I.S.
00:01:12The reviews were expired years ago.
00:01:14You're being deported.
00:01:15What?
00:01:16No, there must be some mistake.
00:01:18Adrian, didn't you help me file my immigration paperwork?
00:01:21Whoops.
00:01:22Well, I guess I screwed up.
00:01:24What?
00:01:27Hey, baby.
00:01:28Hey.
00:01:29Adrian, are you cheating on me?
00:01:31With her?
00:01:32Choose the right side, babe.
00:01:34We'll never win against them.
00:01:35It's true.
00:01:36Um, according to the terms of the will,
00:01:39non-citizens are not eligible to inherit the estate.
00:01:43Everything will pass to your next of kin, Lisa and Kristen Miller.
00:01:48You thought you could get rich overnight?
00:01:51Keep dreaming.
00:01:53Seriously?
00:01:54Bon voyage, sis.
00:02:04The boss is a surgeon.
00:02:05They're about to deport a woman named Jessica Miller.
00:02:09Jessica Miller?
00:02:12It's her.
00:02:21Oh, thank God you're alive.
00:02:22She's so beautiful and kind.
00:02:23The girl I've always dreamed of.
00:02:27She saved my life once.
00:02:28I owe her.
00:02:33Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
00:02:35Jessica?
00:02:36Do I know you?
00:02:37She doesn't remember me.
00:02:44I'm Daniel.
00:02:45You're a lawyer.
00:02:46Just pretend we know each other.
00:02:47If I can get you out of here.
00:02:49We've spoken to the judge,
00:02:50and Miss Miller should be released immediately.
00:02:52Wait, wait.
00:02:53You can't report her.
00:02:54She is about to marry a U.S. citizen.
00:02:57Who's the lucky guy?
00:02:58I am.
00:02:59I marry her.
00:03:01A fake marriage won't save her.
00:03:02Our marriage is real.
00:03:03Mm-hmm.
00:03:04Yeah.
00:03:05A hundred percent real.
00:03:06Prove it then.
00:03:07That's it?
00:03:08You call that a kiss?
00:03:09What?
00:03:10What?
00:03:11What?
00:03:12What?
00:03:13What?
00:03:14What?
00:03:15What?
00:03:16What?
00:03:17What?
00:03:18What?
00:03:19What?
00:03:20What?
00:03:21What?
00:03:23What?
00:03:24That's it? You call that a kiss?
00:03:38Need more proof, officer?
00:03:40Look, this guy is a lawyer to some of the most important families in town.
00:03:45And if you don't let her go, then he'll make sure you lose your damn job.
00:03:49Fine, you can have her.
00:03:51Thank you, officer.
00:03:54Guys, I think we're good.
00:03:59It's not over.
00:04:03We'll be checking your marital status and conducting interviews.
00:04:06And there are a few very specific requirements you should know.
00:04:09Make sure you two are staying in the same house and sleeping in the same bed.
00:04:14Or it's game over.
00:04:19To help me deal with my stepsister and her mom.
00:04:22They're trying to get rid of me.
00:04:24And they've already stolen my fortune.
00:04:26And they made my mother disappear.
00:04:31Deal.
00:04:33What?
00:04:34That's it?
00:04:35That's it.
00:04:38This lily stands for loyalties and new beginnings.
00:04:42Something that I want with you.
00:04:44Now I know it's rushed.
00:04:47But I promise you, I will buy you a proper ring soon.
00:04:51From now on, let's make every Christmas our own.
00:05:03To fill it.
00:05:04Full of memories.
00:05:05You can't do this!
00:05:19Jess, it's okay.
00:05:20Just wait here.
00:05:21I'll handle it.
00:05:22I'll handle it.
00:05:26What?
00:05:29What?
00:05:31Why are you helping that girl?
00:05:33Kristen Miller is our ally.
00:05:35And she wants her the hell out of this picture.
00:05:37It's too late, Dad.
00:05:38We already got married.
00:05:39Are you insane?
00:05:41Did you forget you're supposed to marry Ashley?
00:05:47Daniel Thornton.
00:05:49My mother is gone because of you?
00:05:52Well, we had a little help from James Thornton.
00:05:55The most powerful man in the Thornton family.
00:05:59Wait.
00:06:00I recognize that face.
00:06:02From the newspaper, that was James Thornton.
00:06:05From the Thornton family.
00:06:06The family responsible for my mother's disappearance.
00:06:11Stop telling me what I can and cannot do.
00:06:16She saved my life.
00:06:17I owe it to her.
00:06:19Roll the hell up, Daniel.
00:06:21You need to remember your position as the heir to our family.
00:06:24And you need to divorce that girl.
00:06:27Now, I'm doing this to clean your mess up.
00:06:30Just leave us alone.
00:06:39Sorry about that.
00:06:41Is your name Daniel Thornton?
00:06:45Yeah.
00:06:47The Thornton family are responsible for the disappearance of my mother.
00:06:52I have been searching for her my entire life.
00:06:56Jess.
00:06:58I can explain.
00:06:59I'm not marrying Thornton.
00:07:00Wait, wait, wait, Jess, Jess.
00:07:02I'm not who you think I am.
00:07:04I have nothing to do with that family.
00:07:05Oh, really?
00:07:06Because your name is right here.
00:07:07On the marriage stack.
00:07:10I share the last name of Thornton.
00:07:12And I am not one of them.
00:07:14Thornton is a common name.
00:07:15Just an ordinary guy.
00:07:16Really?
00:07:17Well, I don't believe you.
00:07:18I saw you talking to James Thornton.
00:07:21Is he your father?
00:07:22No, he's not my father.
00:07:23He was threatening to drive you out of the country and I was not going to have anything to do with it.
00:07:33Jess, I'm on your side.
00:07:35You're not one of them.
00:07:38I'm sorry.
00:07:41It's okay.
00:07:43Don't worry about it.
00:07:48Well, you have a nice apartment.
00:07:51Welcome.
00:07:53Is that your Labrador?
00:07:55That looks exactly like mine.
00:07:56I got mine as a Christmas present when I was nine.
00:07:59No way.
00:08:00I got mine as a Christmas present when I was nine.
00:08:02It's crazy.
00:08:04Jess, we're going to have to sleep in the same room together just in case immigration ambush us.
00:08:12Yeah, but are you sure you're okay sleeping on the carpet?
00:08:15I mean, you've done so much for me already and I just...
00:08:19Jess, please. I insist.
00:08:21We made a deal, remember.
00:08:23I also want to thank you for giving me the chance to get rich.
00:08:29It's okay, Daniel.
00:08:34Look at all my friends.
00:08:35I'm not going to have to talk to you today.
00:08:36I'm not going to have to talk to you now.
00:08:37I'm not going to have to talk to you now.
00:08:38No I'm not going to have to talk to you now.
00:08:41You're going to have to talk to me now.
00:08:42See?
00:08:43Bye about it.
00:08:44Be okay, Daniel.
00:08:45There?
00:08:46No, no, no, no, no, I was, I was just passing by and just, do you need anything?
00:09:12I was joking. Uh, yeah, could you, uh, pass me the towel? It's just hanging up next to the door.
00:09:20Uh, yeah, sure, sure.
00:09:36Oh my god.
00:09:37What?
00:09:37I just got fired.
00:09:38What?
00:09:39Uh, wait, Jess, let me go with you.
00:09:47Yeah.
00:09:58Sam, please, don't fire me.
00:10:00I'm sorry, Jess, but your immigration issue put us in a tough spot.
00:10:06I, I worked for this company for years.
00:10:10I'm sorry, Jess. There's nothing I can do.
00:10:14I'm sorry.
00:10:15Look who's here.
00:10:22Someone who just got fired.
00:10:25This suits you.
00:10:31It was you.
00:10:33I should have known you were behind this.
00:10:34I'm not going to let you stay here and ruin things.
00:10:37I'm going to take away everything you have, sister.
00:10:43Uh, you just made a big mistake, sir.
00:10:46Who are you?
00:10:47My name is Daniel Thornton, son of James Thornton, the chairman of Thornton Enterprise.
00:10:54Oh, uh, Mr. Thornton, uh, welcome.
00:11:00What brings you here?
00:11:02Well, I have some good news for you.
00:11:06Jessica Miller, she's just closed a billion dollar deal.
00:11:11Take a look.
00:11:12Oh, my God.
00:11:28It's real.
00:11:30Absolutely.
00:11:31With her hard work and dedication, she's made this possible.
00:11:35It's a real shame you're going to lose such a valuable employee.
00:11:39Oh, uh, Mr. Thornton, um,
00:11:41I have made a huge mistake.
00:11:45Uh, Jessica will stay.
00:11:48Good.
00:11:50And, uh,
00:11:52make sure nobody knows we had this conversation.
00:11:58Jessica!
00:12:00You should have told me!
00:12:06What are you talking about, Sam?
00:12:08Jessica!
00:12:09You secured a huge deal for the company!
00:12:12Thank you!
00:12:14Did you not just fire her?
00:12:16I changed my mind.
00:12:18Jessica's saying,
00:12:20actually,
00:12:21she's being promoted
00:12:22to sales manager.
00:12:25Can't afford to lose someone as valuable as, like, her?
00:12:28Great.
00:12:30Thanks, Sam.
00:12:32This
00:12:32is not over.
00:12:38I can't believe it!
00:12:39Jessica kept her job,
00:12:40and she gets promoted!
00:12:42Don't worry, Lisa.
00:12:43I just spoke with James Thornton,
00:12:45and he had the lawyer
00:12:46change the will
00:12:47in our favor.
00:12:49Jessica will get nothing.
00:12:51Oh, my God.
00:12:53That's fantastic.
00:12:54No way!
00:13:14Jessica?
00:13:15How's work?
00:13:16Did you get your job back?
00:13:18Daniel,
00:13:19I need a lawyer.
00:13:20I need a lawyer.
00:13:27Well,
00:13:28look who decided to show up.
00:13:31Too bad for you,
00:13:32just turns out
00:13:32Daddy's will
00:13:33left you nothing.
00:13:35I knew all along
00:13:37Robert wouldn't leave anything
00:13:38for this little,
00:13:39pathetic,
00:13:40bastard child.
00:13:42You are out of luck.
00:13:44Well, that's a lie.
00:13:46You showed me the will,
00:13:47and I signed the documents.
00:13:50I'm sorry, Jessica.
00:13:52I've just discovered
00:13:53a revised will
00:13:54that supports
00:13:55Kristen and Lisa's claims.
00:14:00Mr. Thornton.
00:14:01Who is this?
00:14:02He's my lawyer,
00:14:03and a damn good one.
00:14:05Oh.
00:14:06You know, Jess,
00:14:07I didn't realize
00:14:07you had enough money
00:14:08to pay for a fancy
00:14:09little lawyer.
00:14:11You sleep with them?
00:14:11No.
00:14:12You sleep with them?
00:14:13Patrick,
00:14:14can I have a word
00:14:15with you outside?
00:14:16Talk all you want.
00:14:18It won't change anything.
00:14:28All right, Patrick.
00:14:30I'm going to keep
00:14:31this short and sweet.
00:14:32I know you changed
00:14:32the will to favor
00:14:33Kristen and Lisa.
00:14:35I know what you're
00:14:35talking about,
00:14:36Mr. Thornton.
00:14:37The revised will
00:14:38solid.

00:14:44You've been caught,
00:14:45Patrick.
00:14:46Honor of the will,
00:14:47I'll report you
00:14:48to the Bar Association.
00:14:49You'll lose your license
00:14:50and any chance
00:14:51of practicing law again.
00:14:52That goes against
00:14:53your father's wishes.
00:14:55You don't understand
00:14:55the position he put me in.
00:14:56I'll deal with my father.
00:14:58Don't you worry about that.
00:15:00You just worry
00:15:02about doing
00:15:02the right thing.
00:15:07Um,
00:15:08this revised will
00:15:09is a fake.
00:15:10The original will stand.
00:15:11What the hell
00:15:12are you doing?
00:15:13He's doing
00:15:13the right thing.
00:15:17Jessica,

00:15:18your inheritance back.
00:15:20Congratulations.

00:15:30you face
00:15:30the consequences.
00:15:31Don't listen to it,
00:15:35Patrick.
00:15:36I'll deal with James
00:15:37Thornton.
00:15:38Who the hell
00:15:39do you think you are?
00:15:41James Thornton is one of
00:15:42the most powerful men
00:15:43in this town.
00:15:45I sure can.
00:15:46Isn't that right,
00:15:47Patrick?
00:15:47Yes.
00:15:49The original will
00:15:50stands.
00:15:50No,
00:15:51you are crazy.
00:15:52No,
00:15:53I'm not.
00:15:53According to the
00:15:54original will,
00:15:55Jessica stands
00:15:56to inherit this mansion.
00:15:58Kristen,
00:15:59you're out.
00:16:00I think you two
00:16:01should leave.
00:16:02You homewrecker,
00:16:03just like your mother.
00:16:05I will not
00:16:06allow violence.
00:16:08I didn't come here
00:16:10to argue
00:16:11over a house
00:16:12and assets.
00:16:14I came here
00:16:15to be recognized
00:16:15as an actual
00:16:16member of this family.
00:16:18Yeah,
00:16:18well,
00:16:18it's easy for you
00:16:19to say you're
00:16:19getting everything.
00:16:20You don't know
00:16:20how lucky you are,
00:16:22Lisa.
00:16:22You grew up
00:16:23with a father
00:16:24who loved you.
00:16:25I had none.
00:16:26And you
00:16:27took my mother
00:16:28away from me
00:16:29and I still
00:16:30don't know
00:16:30where she is.
00:16:32You two don't
00:16:33deserve this mansion.
00:16:35And I would rather
00:16:35give it away
00:16:37to charity
00:16:37than to see
00:16:39the two of you
00:16:39living in.
00:16:40You two
00:16:47should pack
00:16:48your things up.
00:16:49You have one week
00:16:49to leave this house.
00:16:51Don't listen to it.
00:17:00What the hell
00:17:02were you thinking?
00:17:03Sabotaging my plan?
00:17:04I was just doing
00:17:05the right thing.
00:17:06The right thing?
00:17:08Going against me?
00:17:10Kristen Miller
00:17:10has got no power
00:17:11anymore.
00:17:12Her game is over.
00:17:13I'm sure you
00:17:14didn't come all
00:17:15this way
00:17:16just to argue
00:17:16with me.
00:17:17So what do you want?
00:17:20I just want Jessica
00:17:21to get her mom back.
00:17:24Interesting.
00:17:28What's in it for me?
00:17:30Once Jessica
00:17:30gets her mom back,
00:17:32I'll do whatever
00:17:33you want.
00:17:34Whatever I want?
00:17:36Like what exactly?
00:17:38I'll marry Ashley.
00:17:40You'll marry Ashley?
00:17:44Yeah.
00:17:45You're willing
00:17:46to do that?
00:17:47Yeah, I am.
00:17:50But only if she's
00:17:51reunited with her mother.
00:17:54Okay.
00:17:55Deal.
00:17:57I'll make the arrangements.
00:17:59So you're really in love
00:18:00with this one, huh?
00:18:01Yeah.
00:18:03I am.
00:18:04Okay, okay.
00:18:06Sure hope she's worth it.
00:18:09She is.
00:18:14What's wrong?
00:18:15We have...
00:18:17a guest.
00:18:20Mr. Thornton.
00:18:21Good to see you again.
00:18:23Interview time.
00:18:25Great.
00:18:27You're...
00:18:27When did you two meet?
00:18:31Uh, we met at a friend's party
00:18:33two years ago.
00:18:35What do you say, Jessica?
00:18:37Huh?
00:18:38Oh, yeah, yeah.
00:18:41Interesting.
00:18:43And when did you decide
00:18:44to get married?
00:18:45Eight months ago.
00:18:46Six months ago.
00:18:47Six months or eight months?
00:18:49Which one is it?
00:18:49Yeah, eight months ago.
00:18:51Sorry, I just...
00:18:52Sorry, I'm always
00:18:53getting mixed up.
00:18:55Sure.
00:18:56Easy mistake to make.
00:18:59And what's your
00:19:00anniversary date?
00:19:01March 15th.
00:19:02March 15th?
00:19:05All right.
00:19:10Uh, that's it?
00:19:12Yes, Mr. Thornton.
00:19:13I have everything I need.
00:19:15I'll report back to the judges.
00:19:19Oh, wait.
00:19:22Uh, this.
00:19:25How did we do in there?
00:19:29It was...
00:19:31pretty bad.
00:19:33Look.
00:19:35I'm the son of James Thornton.
00:19:37I know who you are.
00:19:40Okay.
00:19:43You want to bribe me?
00:19:46Yes.
00:19:47I can't be bribed.
00:19:48Here's one million dollars.
00:19:55Two million dollars.
00:19:57Right.
00:20:02Three.
00:20:03Million dollars.
00:20:04It's tempting,
00:20:05but like I said,
00:20:06you can't bribe me.
00:20:07Please.
00:20:08Can you just give us
00:20:09one more a week to prepare?
00:20:11I really want to be with this woman.
00:20:13She means the world to me.
00:20:15She saved my life.
00:20:16I'm not going to take your money,
00:20:18but I'll give you one week.
00:20:19Make it count.
00:20:22Next time,
00:20:23I want to see some genuine affection
00:20:25between you two.
00:20:25Yeah.
00:20:26If anything seems a bit off,
00:20:27your game's up.
00:20:28Of course.
00:20:30And,
00:20:30one more thing.
00:20:32I can tell you two
00:20:33haven't had sex yet.
00:20:35I'm that good,
00:20:36Mr. Daniel.
00:20:38Don't try and fool me.
00:20:39She gave us another chance.
00:20:47Oh,
00:20:47my God.
00:20:48We have one week
00:20:49to get our story straight.
00:20:51Thank you,
00:20:53Daniel.
00:20:54You've been
00:20:54very,
00:20:56very helpful today.
00:20:57Now,
00:21:14I wanted to make
00:21:15our first Christmas special,
00:21:16so,
00:21:17I did a little digging
00:21:19and I found this.
00:21:21This tree's amazing.
00:21:22What happened?
00:21:31Let me have a look.
00:21:52I have a festive gift
00:22:05for you, too.
00:22:13Wow.
00:22:15Jess,
00:22:15you look gorgeous.
00:22:22And then,
00:22:23I told him
00:22:24that's not how you negotiate.
00:22:26You did it.
00:22:27You did.
00:22:27You did.
00:22:28You did.

00:22:32You did.

00:22:48You did.
00:22:49You did.
00:22:50This could be a problem.
00:23:11Maybe.
00:23:14Maybe not.
00:23:20And that is how you make a shake.
00:23:35You're learning that.
00:23:36It's stuck.
00:23:53Hold on.
00:23:54I've got this.
00:23:55Oh.
00:24:25Oh, that much looks familiar.
00:24:55I've seen this before in the magazine.
00:25:00It looks like one of those Thornton family watches.
00:25:09Is it real?
00:25:10No, it's fake.
00:25:14You wear a fake watch?
00:25:19Yeah.
00:25:20I'm so happy, Jess.
00:25:33There's also something I need to tell you about your mom.
00:25:41Oh, my God.
00:25:56Did I just sleep with Daniel last night?
00:26:00I told him it would only be a contract marriage.
00:26:13Morning.
00:26:14This is the most beautiful morning that I've ever had.
00:26:17Daniel, I'm so sorry about last night.
00:26:22It wasn't supposed to happen and I promise it will never happen again.
00:26:30She didn't mean it.
00:26:32Oh, Jessica.
00:26:33Last night was amazing.
00:26:34Yeah, Jess, I get it.
00:26:41It was a one-time thing.
00:26:46Yeah, just like, just a one-time thing.
00:26:49Yeah.
00:26:51Anyway, it's your big day today.
00:26:55You're the new CEO of the Miller Empire.
00:27:00Thank you for the reminder.
00:27:05Now that you mention it, I'm really scared.
00:27:07Oh, no, Jess.
00:27:09I didn't mean it like that.
00:27:12What I was meant to say is...
00:27:16I'm gonna help you.
00:27:17I don't know what to do, Mother.
00:27:23That bitch is kicking us out.
00:27:25We still have a chance.
00:27:26That bastard child needs a unanimous vote from the board to be chosen as the next CEO.
00:27:33So we just need a board member to back this up.
00:27:36I will call Richard.
00:27:37Everyone respects Richard's vote.
00:27:39And I will make sure he doesn't vote for her.
00:27:42And I'll dig up all the dirt I can find on her.
00:27:45You go, girl.
00:27:47Hi.
00:27:58These clothes are...
00:28:00Beautiful.
00:28:01But, uh...
00:28:03Very expensive.
00:28:05Like this one.
00:28:07That is...
00:28:09$9,000.
00:28:10Jess, don't worry about it.
00:28:13It's on me.
00:28:14Look at it as, uh...
00:28:15My first gift to my wife.
00:28:17You know what?
00:28:18Daniel, I can't let you pay for this.
00:28:20Look, Jess.
00:28:21You're gonna be a CEO.
00:28:23Which means you've gotta look the part.
00:28:25Trust me.
00:28:26It's an investment.
00:28:29Mr. Thornton.
00:28:30Welcome back.
00:28:31How can I assist you today?
00:28:33Come here a lot?
00:28:34Uh, no.
00:28:35Well, of course.
00:28:36Mr. Thornton owns this store.
00:28:37Uh...
00:28:39Jess, why don't you try this one on?
00:28:42You'll look great in it.
00:28:48Wow.
00:28:49Jess, you look...
00:28:51amazing.
00:28:53You think so, though?
00:28:54Yeah.
00:28:56This is exactly what a CEO would wear.
00:28:58Absolutely.
00:28:59Great choice.
00:29:01We'll take this one.
00:29:03Something in your mind?
00:29:06Well, it's probably nothing, but it's just...
00:29:09that clerk seemed very fond of you.
00:29:12Oh, uh...
00:29:14Being friendly is a part of my job.
00:29:16Okay.
00:29:17So that's how you got your lawyer, huh?
00:29:27Now that you mention it,
00:29:29maybe she was a little friendly.
00:29:32But we got a discount.
00:29:34Show on.
00:29:43What a slut.
00:29:48Trust me, Jess.
00:29:51You can do this.
00:29:52Yeah, but what if they don't accept me?
00:29:54They will.
00:29:55Trust me.
00:29:56Just speak from the heart,
00:29:57and show your true self.
00:30:00Look at you two little lovebirds.
00:30:08Ted.
00:30:09Can we talk about this later?
00:30:11Okay.
00:30:13You go in.
00:30:14I'll meet you in there soon, okay?
00:30:17Good luck in there, sis.
00:30:22Good luck in there, sis.
00:30:25You're gonna need it.
00:30:27You don't have the boats.
00:30:33I know my background doesn't seem very typical of a CEO,
00:30:37but I built myself from the bottom up here.
00:30:39Miller Corporation is a leader in tech and services, reaching industries from healthcare to energy.
00:30:49We have over 10,000 employees worldwide who have worked hard to build this company from the ground up.
00:30:57And I was one of them.
00:30:58And I was one of them.
00:30:59I know them.
00:31:01And I believe that I can help lead this company to become everyone's company.
00:31:06Let's proceed to the vote.
00:31:09All in favor?
00:31:10Robert lost his damn mind.
00:31:14Robert lost his damn mind.
00:31:16He picked his secret child to be the CEO.
00:31:19Only because of his guilty conscience.
00:31:21Richard, if I may...
00:31:23I'm not done talking.
00:31:25You can't lead us.
00:31:27And you're not getting my vote.
00:31:28Richard, if I may speak...
00:31:32Go ahead.
00:31:34But I won't change my mind.
00:31:39Sorry for interrupting everyone.
00:31:41But I have something important to share with you all today.
00:31:43Who the hell are you?
00:31:45Well, Richard, I'm the person who's going to expose you.
00:31:48What did you just say?
00:31:51How do I say this?
00:31:53You're a sex pervert.
00:31:55What?
00:31:59You see, everyone, this file contains multiple sexual harassment lawsuits against Richard over the past 30 years.
00:32:10Some of them also have ongoing lawsuits.
00:32:13They're all just allegations, and they've all been settled.
00:32:16I'm innocent.
00:32:18We've also got in contact with some of the victims, and they're willing to come forward and testify.
00:32:21Actually, I have not finished yet.
00:32:24You're also stealing money from the company.
00:32:25And we have financial records to come forward.
00:32:35The evidence is clear.
00:32:37He's guilty.
00:32:39Okay then, let's all vote for Richard Donald's immediate suspension.
00:32:44All in favor?
00:32:45We have 15 books.
00:32:46The board has decided.
00:32:47Richard Donald is officially removed from his position.
00:32:49Security.
00:32:50Escort him out immediately.
00:32:51I know my way.
00:32:53And all in favor of appointing Jessica Miller as the new CEO.
00:32:59The board has been changing the direction of Crane and the company.
00:33:04They're looking for the international companies.
00:33:06Thank you for subscribing.
00:33:16All in favor of appointing Jessica Miller as the new CEO.
00:33:22I'm sorry, Kathleen. I had to make sure I had enough evidence to nail him.
00:33:32No, don't be sorry, Daniel. That was so worth the wait.
00:33:35Good.
00:33:38This is not over. You'll see.
00:33:40How's packing going, Lisa? You're about to be evicted, sir.
00:33:43Bye-bye.
00:33:45She won again, that bitch.
00:33:52I know. It's so unfair.
00:33:54Do we have a guest?
00:33:56Lisa, honey, I've been trying to reach you.
00:33:59Why didn't you return my calls?
00:34:01I've been busy.
00:34:03Busy? Dealing with Jessica.
00:34:06How did you know?
00:34:07Oh, I know. And I think I know how to help you take it down.
00:34:11Again.
00:34:11You're no use to me anymore, Adrian. I only needed you to help me get rid of Jessica.
00:34:19To the new CEO of the Miller Empire.
00:34:24Well, I couldn't have done it without you, Daniel.
00:34:26I also have another Christmas surprise for you.
00:34:31Who are you calling?
00:34:35Is it?
00:34:36Yes, Jess. It's your mother, Clara.
00:34:39Oh, my God. Mom.
00:34:41Oh, Jessica, you're a grown woman now.
00:34:45The Miller family threatened to kill you, Jess.
00:34:47I had no option but to vanish.
00:34:51Oh, Mom, it's okay. It's okay.
00:34:54Like, you didn't do anything wrong.
00:34:55I'll bring you back into the country, I promise.
00:34:59Daniel, how did you find her?
00:35:01I have a few powerful friends.
00:35:03They did me a favor.
00:35:04But I'll leave you two alone.
00:35:07Two more, please.
00:35:22Daniel.
00:35:25Adrian.
00:35:25Long time no see, buddy.
00:35:28Oh, my God.
00:35:29How long has it been?
00:35:30Ten years.
00:35:31Ten years.
00:35:32Oh, my God.
00:35:34The last time I must have seen you was law school.
00:35:38Yep.
00:35:39Go Reds.
00:35:41Go Reds.
00:35:42What are you doing here?
00:35:45Just in town to run some errands.
00:35:47Just thought I'd come in for a quick bite.
00:35:49Nice, man. Nice.
00:35:51I saw your date earlier.
00:35:53She looks pretty.
00:35:54Yeah, my wife.
00:35:56Your wife?
00:35:57Yeah, Jess.
00:35:58You're married?
00:35:59Yes.
00:36:00Yeah, you have to introduce me to her.
00:36:02Come on, let's go say hi.
00:36:03Come and say hello.
00:36:05It's good to see you, bud.
00:36:05Good to see you too, man.
00:36:06Jess, I wanted you to meet an old friend of mine.
00:36:10Adrian, this is Jess.
00:36:12Jess, this is Adrian.
00:36:13We went to law school together.
00:36:19I don't want to see him.
00:36:25I don't want to see him.
00:36:29You two know each other.
00:36:31Yes, Daniel.
00:36:32I was her first boyfriend.
00:36:36Come on, Jess.
00:36:39Don't you miss me.
00:36:40I don't want to see you anymore.
00:36:43You know you're still in love with me, Jess.
00:36:46No, I don't.
00:36:50I think you should leave, Adrian.
00:36:53Okay, Daniel.
00:36:54Relax.
00:36:55Now.
00:37:01I'm leaving.
00:37:01Does she know she's lying?
00:37:12Force.
00:37:13Adrian Wesley now represents Lisa and Kristen Miller.
00:37:16They wanted to test the word.
00:37:18I should have known.
00:37:20What else?
00:37:21Adrian also used me, Jessica.
00:37:23Actually,
00:37:24he's the one who sabotaged Jessica's immigration paperwork.
00:37:28It caused all this trouble.
00:37:29That son of a bitch.
00:37:35We need to win this war.
00:37:37Do whatever it takes.
00:37:46Daniel?
00:37:49Sorry.
00:37:50Did I wake you?
00:37:51No.
00:37:52Can you join me in bed, please?
00:37:55Are you sure?
00:38:05I just...
00:38:06I wanted to apologize for earlier.
00:38:10The restaurant.
00:38:13I got a bit carried away.
00:38:16Jess, you don't need to apologize.
00:38:19Adrian's an asshole.
00:38:20He's just trying to do it to get under your skin.
00:38:22I didn't care for Adrian once.
00:38:26But he just destroyed everything we had.
00:38:30I want you to know
00:38:31that I'm here because of you.
00:38:37And you're the only one who I love.
00:38:42No one else.
00:38:42I love you too, Jess.
00:38:56And I'm not going anywhere.
00:38:58Good morning, husband.
00:39:15Morning, wife.
00:39:17Are you ready for your big day as the new CEO?
00:39:20If only you were with me.
00:39:21Okay.
00:39:21Okay.
00:39:21Okay.
00:39:21Okay.
00:39:21Okay.
00:39:21Okay.
00:39:21Okay.
00:39:21Okay.
00:39:21Okay.
00:39:21Okay.
00:39:22Okay.
00:39:22Okay.
00:39:22Okay.
00:39:22Okay.
00:39:23Okay.
00:39:23Okay.
00:39:24Okay.
00:39:24Okay.
00:39:25Okay.
00:39:25Okay.
00:39:26Okay.
00:39:26Okay.
00:39:27Okay.
00:39:27Okay.
00:39:28You're going to do great today.
00:39:52Jess, here's your coffee.
00:39:57What's wrong?
00:40:00No, it's just, it's this job.
00:40:01It's all so new to me.
00:40:04Okay.
00:40:05Calm down.
00:40:06Remember, you're the CEO.
00:40:08Which means you're the boss.
00:40:10Yeah, but I don't know how to be a boss.
00:40:14Hey, Jess.
00:40:16Look at you sitting in the big chair now.
00:40:19Oh, Giovanna, I am so happy you're here.
00:40:22Oh, you must be Daniel.
00:40:23Oh, you must be Daniel.
00:40:25Jessica's been talking about you for days.
00:40:30I'm flattered.
00:40:32I really wish you could be here with me, G.
00:40:34It's exhausting.
00:40:36Oh, at least you have a job, Jess.
00:40:37I've been looking for work for the past two months.
00:40:41Jess?
00:40:42Do you like Deanna being here?
00:40:50Of course.
00:40:51We've been besties since forever.
00:40:54Yeah, what kind of question is that?
00:40:56Well, why don't you use your CEO power and hire Deanna?
00:41:03Oh, I don't, I know what you mean.
00:41:05I don't understand.
00:41:07How would you like to come work for me?
00:41:13Of course.
00:41:14Of course.
00:41:16Okay, then.
00:41:17My first order as a CEO, Deanna, you are hired as my personal assistant.
00:41:26Oh, my God, Jess, thank you so much.
00:41:29See?
00:41:30Being a boss is easy.
00:41:32You can do whatever you want.
00:41:42Oh, my God.
00:41:44What's wrong?
00:41:45The company's stock prices are dropping like crazy.
00:41:49What is happening?
00:41:51This isn't normal.
00:41:53The stocks are getting dumped.
00:41:54Well, well, well.
00:41:56Looks like things aren't going so well.
00:42:00What did you do, Lisa?
00:42:01I asked Richard and some of the other investors to sell their stocks.
00:42:07The board members are not going to be happy about the stock prices, Jessica.
00:42:10What do you want?
00:42:12Resign.
00:42:12As CEO, or I will destroy this company.
00:42:16Yeah.
00:42:17No way.
00:42:18Okay.
00:42:20Then I will destroy this company.
00:42:23Jessica, the board members are asking to meet with you.
00:42:25They're angry.
00:42:26Well, what are you going to do, Jess?
00:42:35Okay.
00:42:35I'll meet with the board.
00:42:37Wait, Jess.
00:42:39Don't go.
00:42:40Take a seat.
00:42:42What is it?
00:42:43Lisa, are you sure the stock prices are going down?
00:42:47Because to me, they seem to be going up and up.
00:42:52That's impossible.
00:42:53You would need at least a billion dollars.
00:42:56I guess anything's possible these days.
00:42:59God damn it!
00:43:01God, she's annoying.
00:43:02No, you must be my lucky star.
00:43:17Daniel.
00:43:20Gianna.
00:43:21I know who you are, Daniel.
00:43:23You're the son of James Thornton.
00:43:26How'd you find out?
00:43:27My identity's meant to be a secret.
00:43:29I used to work for your father.
00:43:31Please don't tell Jess.
00:43:31I'll pay you.
00:43:33How much do you want?
00:43:34I don't want your money.
00:43:36I care for my friend.
00:43:38Actually, your father fired me because I tried to help Jessica.
00:43:42I'm sorry, Gianna.
00:43:44It's okay.
00:43:46I just want to know why.
00:43:48She hates my family.
00:43:50I have to lie to her.
00:43:52She hates your family, but she loves you.
00:43:56I can see that.
00:43:58You really think so?
00:44:00Yes.
00:44:01I love her, too.
00:44:03She's the best thing that's ever happened to me.
00:44:08That's good to hear.
00:44:10Please protect her.
00:44:11Daniel.
00:44:21It's my mom.
00:44:23Adrian threatened her.
00:44:30Adrian threatened my mom on the phone.
00:44:32He said he was going to block her from entering the country.
00:44:36What should we do?
00:44:36Jess, I don't want you to worry about it.
00:44:41I'm going to make sure your mom gets here safely.
00:44:43Ted, I need you to make sure Jessica's mom gets here safely.
00:45:04Look her on the first flight out tomorrow.
00:45:05Got it, boss.
00:45:06She'll be here in town the day after tomorrow.
00:45:09Good.
00:45:16Jess has been taken care of.
00:45:18Your mom's going to be here the day after tomorrow.
00:45:20I'm going to be here the day after tomorrow.
00:45:22Thank you, Daniel.
00:45:25But I'm...
00:45:26I'm still scared.
00:45:29I just...
00:45:29I need a day off.
00:45:31I love the sound of that.
00:45:33What do you have in mind?
00:45:34I was thinking...
00:45:36I want to buy a house.
00:45:40Jess.
00:45:51So?
00:45:54Do you like this place?
00:45:55It's amazing.
00:45:57But, Jess, I appreciate the gesture.
00:46:01But you don't need to buy me a house.
00:46:04No.
00:46:05No.
00:46:06I insist.
00:46:07You have done so much to help me.
00:46:10Besides, we can live together here.
00:46:13Mr. Thornton.
00:46:15Hi.
00:46:16Your father is here.
00:46:17Are you meeting here?
00:46:24Well, I've never met your parents.
00:46:28So, I'm pretty excited to meet an in-law.
00:46:33Oh, is that him?
00:46:36Come on, let's go say hi.
00:46:38Jess, wait.
00:46:39Uh, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
00:46:42Um.
00:46:45I might not have told my dad about you and our marriage.
00:46:48Why?
00:46:49Uh.
00:46:51Because he has a heart condition.
00:46:54I think it's best you stay here.
00:46:57Okay.
00:46:57I'll just stay here, then.
00:47:04Good.
00:47:08Dad.
00:47:10Come on.
00:47:11Daniel.
00:47:12What the hell?
00:47:12Jessica's here.
00:47:13She can't see her face.
00:47:14Don't.
00:47:15Take them off.
00:47:18I want to talk to you about Ashley, Daniel.
00:47:20Why hasn't Daniel told his father about me and our wedding?
00:47:29Ashley, really, not today.
00:47:33And what is this shirt you're wearing?
00:47:36Mother insisted I'm wearing this charity event in the morning ride.
00:47:41Said it makes me look more grounded.
00:47:46Approachable.
00:47:49And don't go changing our subject.
00:47:51I want to discuss our agreement.
00:47:53I give you Clara.
00:47:54And you marry Ashley.
00:47:55Why does he look so nervous?
00:48:04Am I not good enough?
00:48:09Do we have to talk about this right now?
00:48:12I held up my end of the bargain, Daniel.
00:48:14I want this deal done now.
00:48:17Actually, Clara isn't safe yet.
00:48:20Lisa Miller might try to be sabotaging everything.
00:48:22This is why you don't mess with the Miller family.
00:48:26You should have left it alone.
00:48:28All I'm asking is just a few more days.
00:48:30Ashley is coming to town in a few days.
00:48:33What?
00:48:35Jess!
00:48:36Uh, Jess.
00:48:47Dad, this is Jess.
00:48:49Jess, this is Dad.
00:48:51You can call him Jimmy.
00:48:53Jimmy?
00:48:54Hmm?
00:48:55Bye.
00:48:57I'm Jimmy, sweetie.
00:48:59It's lovely to meet you, Jimmy.
00:49:01And can I just say, that is a lovely Hawaiian shirt.
00:49:05It really, really suits you.
00:49:06Well, thank you, Jessica.
00:49:09It's, uh, one I'm fond of.
00:49:12So, who is Ashley?
00:49:15I heard you guys talking about her earlier.
00:49:18Oh, she's just an old family friend.
00:49:23They grew up and went to law school together.
00:49:27And she had Daniel's first kiss.
00:49:30Oh.
00:49:30Her wedding is, uh, approaching soon.
00:49:34And, uh, I like Daniel to attend.
00:49:37Dad!
00:49:38Got reminiscing about the good old days.
00:49:40No, it's, it's fine.
00:49:42Honestly, it's lovely to hear about Daniel's childhood and more about his life.
00:49:45You bastard child.
00:49:53Well, well.
00:49:55What do we have here?
00:49:57You think you can afford this place?
00:50:00You're about to lose this battle and be out on the streets soon.
00:50:05Who's this clown?
00:50:06Looks like he belongs in a circus.
00:50:12How dare you, Kristen?
00:50:14How do you know my name?
00:50:16And don't you dare call me by my first name.
00:50:18That's enough.
00:50:21Don't talk to my father like that.
00:50:24Oh.
00:50:27He's your father.
00:50:29Hmm.
00:50:30How does it feel to be a father of such a loser?
00:50:33Don't talk to my family like that.
00:50:37Your family.
00:50:38Your family suck, Jessica.
00:50:41Especially your mother.
00:50:43The home-wrecking tramp.
00:50:46A whore.
00:50:48Oh.
00:50:55Your family suck, Jessica.
00:50:59Especially your mother.
00:51:01The home-wrecking tramp.
00:51:04A whore.
00:51:05Oh.
00:51:06Damn.
00:51:11How dare you slap me.
00:51:14That is enough, Kristen.
00:51:18You're not going to wear a hand on my wife.
00:51:23Ladies, you need to leave now.
00:51:25You can't throw us out.
00:51:27We're buyers.
00:51:27We're not going anywhere.
00:51:29The owner of this property has abandoned you from coming here.
00:51:32You need to leave now.
00:51:32No, I will consider it.
00:51:36You will regret this.
00:51:40I've heard that a thousand times.
00:51:43Now leave.
00:51:44Thank you, Jessica.
00:51:55You stood up for me.
00:51:58Well, we're a family, Jimmy.
00:52:00That's what I'm supposed to do.
00:52:01Well, I appreciate it.
00:52:08You're a nice girl.
00:52:12Found a good wife, son.
00:52:13Dad.
00:52:16Dad.
00:52:16About Ashy's wedding.
00:52:18I don't think I'm going to be able to make it.
00:52:21I'll look into it.
00:52:22I'll speak to her about it.
00:52:23Oh, no, no, no, no, no.
00:52:25Daniel can still attend.
00:52:27It's not a problem.
00:52:28Jess, I just want to focus on you and I.
00:52:31I'm not the jealous type.
00:52:33Plus, I don't want you to miss your first crush's wedding.
00:52:38Well, you decide, Daniel.
00:52:41Oh, there's a long party.
00:52:43You two want to come?
00:52:44It's in three hours.
00:52:47Yeah.
00:52:49Dad, we'll go.
00:52:50Great.
00:52:51I'll see you there.
00:53:04Well, this place is extremely high class.
00:53:09Well, my dad has a few rich friends.
00:53:16And James Thornton is here.
00:53:18I know you don't want to see him.
00:53:22But, Jess, my dad's here.
00:53:25He's going to join us later.
00:53:26Okay.
00:53:28The bidding's about to start.
00:53:34Oh, the bitch is here!
00:53:36I know.
00:53:38Don't worry.
00:53:38We can teach him a lesson.
00:53:39Yeah, how?
00:53:40Let's see if Daniel can handle a little humiliation.
00:53:43With money.
00:53:46Yeah, with money?
00:53:47What money?
00:53:48I haven't gotten my inheritance back yet.
00:53:49Yeah, I know.
00:53:50Your mother spoke to Richard.
00:53:52He said he's willing to donate us some cash if we make Jessica look ugly.
00:53:56Oh.
00:53:58You're the best.
00:54:01I know.
00:54:02Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to this evening's auction.
00:54:11We have for you the last dance.
00:54:14Bid starts at $1 million.
00:54:19$1 million.
00:54:20$2 million right here.
00:54:25$3 million.
00:54:35$4 million.
00:54:38What are they doing?
00:54:39Where did they get that money from?
00:54:40I don't know.
00:54:41But they're definitely trying to humiliate you here.
00:54:43Really?
00:54:44But I don't even care about this bit.
00:54:48$5 million.
00:54:50Daniel, what are you doing?
00:54:51Don't worry, Jess.
00:54:52I've got this.
00:54:55I've got $6 million.
00:55:06Cash.
00:55:07Boom.
00:55:08You can't compete with that.
00:55:11Watch this.
00:55:13$7 million.
00:55:15$8 million.
00:55:18Did that just happen?
00:55:19$10 million.
00:55:23Awesome.
00:55:25$10 million.
00:55:27Once.
00:55:28Twice.
00:55:29Sold.
00:55:30There's a gentleman there.
00:55:40Where did you get that money from?
00:55:42Well, do you remember me telling you about I have a powerful friend?
00:55:48Yeah, the one who helped me find my mother.
00:55:52Jessica?
00:55:52James Thornton.
00:55:55In the flesh.
00:55:56Or Mrs. Thornton.
00:55:58I want to apologize to you.
00:56:00I am truly sorry for everything I did to you and your mother.
00:56:05But I'm trying my best to make amends.
00:56:08Well, I don't know what to say.
00:56:12Jess, I know it's a lot to handle.
00:56:14You've just got to trust me.
00:56:15Yeah, but why didn't you just tell me in the first place, Daniel?
00:56:19Jess.
00:56:20Jessica.
00:56:21Don't.
00:56:22Follow me.
00:56:23Oh, this could get interesting.
00:56:30Uh-huh.
00:56:30Look who's all alone.
00:56:45No, just leave.
00:56:46Just leave me alone.
00:56:47You're never going to win against James Thornton.
00:56:49He's my mother's best friend.
00:56:52You're going to lose everything.
00:56:53Poor babe.
00:56:54Still played by the big boys.
00:56:56James Thornton and his son have been playing you all along.
00:57:01What did you just say?
00:57:03James Thornton and his son?
00:57:05Wait, Jess, you didn't know?
00:57:07Daniel Thornton is his son.
00:57:09Oh, my God.
00:57:13I didn't know that.
00:57:14Now that I do.
00:57:17That's enough.
00:57:19Oh, excuse me, Mr. Thornton.
00:57:22Crown Prince said the Thornton family.
00:57:34This man's been lying to you all along.
00:57:37Poor little girl's got no one to trust.
00:57:39Both of you, get out of here.
00:57:44Hey.
00:57:52Jess, I've been trying to tell you.
00:57:54Am I a joker to you?
00:57:55No.
00:57:56What do you mean?
00:57:57You and your father.
00:58:00You've been playing me this whole time.
00:58:03No.
00:58:03I've been standing by your side all the time, Jess.
00:58:06I can't trust you.
00:58:08You're lying to me.
00:58:11You're right.
00:58:12You're right.
00:58:16I have been hiding things from you.
00:58:20You know what I haven't told you yet?
00:58:21Another big secret.
00:58:26Are you sure you want to hear this?
00:58:28The other big secret is, the first time we met isn't what you think it is.
00:58:40It was five years ago.
00:58:42Five years ago?
00:58:43Yes.
00:58:45At a party.
00:58:47I was drunk and I fell in a pool.
00:58:49Oh, thank God you're alive.
00:59:04I was drowning and you saved my life.
00:59:07But you won't remember that.
00:59:08But I will forever be grateful for what you did for me that day.
00:59:14But that...
00:59:15That was you?
00:59:17Yes.
00:59:18My father forbid me from seeing you.
00:59:21But I didn't care.
00:59:23I confronted him.
00:59:25You can't tell me what to do, Dad.
00:59:27You can't stop me from seeing her.
00:59:28I'm doing what's best for you, Daniel.
00:59:30That girl and all her family are nothing but trouble.
00:59:35And then he decided to tell me about everything he did to you and your mom.
00:59:39And I felt so guilty.
00:59:40It's okay.
00:59:45I was ashamed to approach you.
00:59:47I just didn't know how to face you without making things worse.
00:59:50And I thought the best thing to do was just meet you at all.
00:59:54No, I know.
00:59:55And then I heard about you being deported and I just couldn't let that happen.
00:59:58Well.
00:59:59Well, I saved you.
01:00:03And you saved me.
01:00:07I guess we just belong together.
01:00:13Ew.
01:00:14Corny.
01:00:17But just...
01:00:20No more secrets.
01:00:23Okay?
01:00:24I promise.
01:00:27No more secrets.
01:00:29You're up early.
01:00:47Yeah.
01:00:48I'm gonna go pick your mom up from the airport.
01:00:50Better sooner than later.
01:00:51Janice just texted me.
01:00:57She said that I have my first weekly exec meeting this morning.
01:01:02I should postpone it.
01:01:03No.
01:01:04You should definitely go to that.
01:01:06You need to look good in front of your board.
01:01:08Really?
01:01:08Yeah.
01:01:09I'm gonna go pick your mom up from the airport and I'll bring you straight to the office.
01:01:12Thanks.
01:01:13Thanks.
01:01:14You're the best.
01:01:19Well, that was better than I thought.
01:01:21Don't underestimate yourself, Jess.
01:01:24You'd be great.
01:01:25Heya, Jess.
01:01:30What are you doing here?
01:01:36What are you doing here?
01:01:38I just want to share with you some interesting facts about your dear husband, Daniel Thornton.
01:01:42Jonah, can you wait outside a moment?
01:01:50Okay.
01:01:51I'm telling you now.
01:01:52Whatever bad, made-up facts that you've come to tell me about Daniel, it's all going to work.
01:01:58Because Daniel already told me everything.
01:02:01Everything?
01:02:02Are you so sure?
01:02:04Yeah.
01:02:05Him and his father came clean about everything.
01:02:07There's nothing more to hide.
01:02:09And did they also tell you Daniel's supposed to marry his childhood sweetheart?
01:02:12What?
01:02:13Ashley Wimbledon.
01:02:15Heiress to the famous Wimbledon family.
01:02:18Ring any bells?
01:02:19Ashley.
01:02:23Ashley.
01:02:26Who is Ashley?
01:02:28I heard you guys talking about her earlier.
01:02:30Oh, she's just an old childhood friend.
01:02:35They grew up and went to law school together.
01:02:37Oh.
01:02:38And she had Daniel's first kiss.
01:02:43He did mention Ashley.
01:02:49He did?
01:02:50Yeah, but he's not going to marry her.
01:02:53I remember that conversation.
01:02:54Daniel's picking my mother up from the airport himself.
01:03:01I'll be seeing her soon.
01:03:04What are you laughing about?
01:03:10Daniel wants to bring her back, babe.
01:03:13You're not going to see her.
01:03:14After years of separation with your mother,
01:03:22Daniel didn't let you go along with him to meet with her?
01:03:25Now, what kind of a husband does that?
01:03:27I had an early meeting this morning,
01:03:28and Daniel didn't want me to worry.
01:03:31So easily manipulated, Jess.
01:03:35Just like old times.
01:03:37Yeah.
01:03:38Well, I don't believe a word you say.
01:03:42Daniel isn't going to bring her back.
01:03:43Care to find out together?
01:03:54Are you sure everything is taken care of?
01:03:56Yes.
01:03:57You're free to live in this country.
01:04:00Clara, I also want to apologize
01:04:01for everything you went through years ago.
01:04:04I'm deeply sorry.
01:04:05Well, you did bring me back here.
01:04:07Right now, I just want to see my daughter.
01:04:10We'll go, sir.
01:04:11Not so fast, Danny boy.
01:04:13You're too late, Lisa.
01:04:20Clara's here to claim Robert's inheritance back.
01:04:23Ooh, I don't think so.
01:04:25Agents, do you think?
01:04:26Wait.
01:04:27What?
01:04:27This is a mistake.
01:04:28No.
01:04:29Clara's got past customs.
01:04:30She can stay.
01:04:31Sweetheart, you really think those little documents
01:04:33can stop this?
01:04:35I don't think so.
01:04:36Back off, Lisa.
01:04:37Watch it, pretty boy.
01:04:39Jess.
01:04:40Jess, Mom!
01:04:41Mom!
01:04:42What are you doing?
01:04:43Where are they taking my mother?
01:04:45Mom, I will bring you back, I promise.
01:04:47Just stay strong.
01:04:48Sis, it looks like you've been screwed by the Thorntons again.
01:04:51Adrian, you sabotage this.
01:04:54You'll pay for this.
01:04:55See, babe, I told you he's not bringing her back.
01:04:58You said everything was taken care of.
01:05:01Jess, it's not me.
01:05:02It's them.
01:05:03You're lying, Daniel.
01:05:04Why don't you ask him about that thing we talked about, Jess?
01:05:09Jess?
01:05:10He said that you were going to marry Ashley.
01:05:13Okay, so it's true.
01:05:14Jess, can we just talk about this?
01:05:18No.
01:05:18No, no, no, no, no.
01:05:19Thing is, Daniel, you promised me no more secrets.
01:05:22I can't trust you anymore.
01:05:24Jess!
01:05:25Okay, it's just, uh, looks like you lost, Daniel.
01:05:28You never get in the back.
01:05:52Oh, thank God you're alive.
01:05:55Ted, what's the problem with Clara?
01:06:22Clara, her paperwork was flawless.
01:06:24You're my boss.
01:06:25I check with customers in the U.S.C.I.S.
01:06:28The label confirms that she legally entered the country.
01:06:30Good.
01:06:32What is it, man?
01:06:36Agents, do you think?
01:06:37Wait.
01:06:38What?
01:06:39This is a mistake.
01:06:40No.
01:06:41Jess.
01:06:42Jess!
01:06:43Baby!
01:06:44Mom!
01:06:44The ICE agents weren't real.
01:06:49They were hired by Adrian and Lisa to kidnap Clara.
01:06:52Hold on, thanks.
01:06:56You're right, boss.
01:06:57We found out those people want to.
01:06:59What should we do?
01:07:01I need to find out where they took them.
01:07:03Use all our contacts.
01:07:04I'm not going to let them get away with this.
01:07:06On it, boss.
01:07:07Well, well, well, Clara, I bet you didn't expect to see me again, did you?
01:07:21We finally have what it takes to get it all back?
01:07:24Don't put me like that.
01:07:26You disgust me.
01:07:26Jess, we need to talk.
01:07:35I don't want to talk to you.
01:07:36It's about your mom.
01:07:37I think she was kidnapped by Adrian and Lisa's people.
01:07:40The ICE agents weren't real.
01:07:42What are you talking about?
01:07:44I spoke to Ted.
01:07:46He told me that Clara legally came into the country.
01:07:49It was a setup.
01:07:51Do you actually expect me to believe that?
01:07:53After all the lies, you're so full of shit, Daniel!
01:07:56Hello, bastard child.
01:08:06Yes, we have your mother.
01:08:08And if you ever want to see her again, follow the directions to the address that we just sent you.
01:08:13Then don't bring anyone.
01:08:14Especially Daniel.
01:08:19Let me come with you.
01:08:20No, they want me alone.
01:08:21I don't want to...
01:08:22Jess?
01:08:22Don't follow me.
01:08:24I will not let you do this alone.
01:08:26Mom?
01:08:33Bastard child, over here.
01:08:35You let her go.
01:08:36This has gone on far enough.
01:08:39I'm not so fast, sis.
01:08:41This is only the beginning.
01:08:42You sign this.
01:08:48We let her go.
01:08:51And what is it?
01:08:52An agreement signing everything over to us.
01:08:55The house.
01:08:57Company.
01:08:59Everything.
01:08:59Signed.
01:09:07Signed.
01:09:09Now let her go.
01:09:11God, you are so nice, sis.
01:09:14Now what more do you want?
01:09:18Get down on your knees and show that you know your place.
01:09:21Get down on your knees and show that you know your place.
01:09:29Wait.
01:09:34That's better.
01:09:35Now bark like a dog.
01:09:47Come on.
01:09:53That's enough, Kristen.
01:09:56We're getting out of here, Monk.
01:10:00Let's get her out of here.
01:10:08Come on.
01:10:09Let's go.
01:10:10Come on, Daniel.
01:10:14Oh, my God.
01:10:16Mom, you've been here for this.
01:10:17Mom, we've got to go.
01:10:19Come on.
01:10:20Daniel.
01:10:21Daniel.
01:10:26Jess.
01:10:27No, don't.
01:10:29Don't try and talk.
01:10:30The police, they're on their way.
01:10:32Jess.
01:10:34I'm so sorry.
01:10:35Why are you apologizing?
01:10:37Just don't move.
01:10:48The doctor said it was nothing serious, so you'll be out of here soon.
01:10:53Jess, I just want to apologize.
01:10:54I'm so sorry.
01:10:58Daniel, what are you apologizing for?
01:11:01You saved my mom.
01:11:02You saved us.
01:11:05Hello again, Mr. Thornton.
01:11:07Officer, you're here.
01:11:10Yes.
01:11:11You promised me last week we'd get that interview done.
01:11:15Officer, my husband is injured.
01:11:18He's literally lying in bed.
01:11:21Well, that doesn't change the requirements.
01:11:22Jess, it's okay.
01:11:26We can do the interview.
01:11:31We can do the interview.
01:11:35Are you insane?
01:11:36We haven't rehearsed this.
01:11:39Jess, when you see we've been rehearsing this whole Christmas, there's no better time to do this.
01:11:45You're right.
01:11:49We're ready, officer.
01:11:51Let's start with the question I asked you last week.
01:11:54When did you two first meet?
01:11:56Five years and four months ago.
01:11:58I don't understand.
01:12:00Last time you said it was six months ago, and the other one said it was eight months ago.
01:12:05We lied, officer.
01:12:08But it was five years ago.
01:12:10At a pool party.
01:12:12And we had our first kiss when we first met.
01:12:13It sounds pretty far-fetched.
01:12:19But for some reason, I want to give you two the benefit of the doubt.
01:12:26It sounds pretty far-fetched.
01:12:29But for some reason, I want to give you two the benefit of the doubt.
01:12:34Daniel risked his life to save me and my mother.
01:12:38There's nothing more that he needs to do to prove his love for me.
01:12:41One last question.
01:12:43How frequently have you two spent the night together in the past week?
01:12:53Relax.
01:12:55I can tell it's been at least three times.
01:12:58Right.
01:12:59Well, that's my interview done.
01:13:00You two are quite the couple.
01:13:03Thank you, officer.
01:13:04Daniel.
01:13:07She's coming.
01:13:08Who's coming?
01:13:15Your fiancé.
01:13:17That's who.
01:13:22Your fiancé.
01:13:24That's who.
01:13:25Ashley.
01:13:27I guess I'm not done yet.
01:13:29You betrayed my family's trust, Daniel.
01:13:33Ashley.
01:13:34Please.
01:13:35Can't we talk about this?
01:13:37So you're Jessica Miller, huh?
01:13:40Adrian's told me all about you.
01:13:42I don't know what Adrian told you, but it's not what you think.
01:13:47Daniel was supposed to marry me.
01:13:50And then you just waltzed in and ruined everything.
01:13:54Ashley.
01:13:55Our engagement was long over before Jessica came to the picture.
01:14:01Oh.
01:14:02I see.
01:14:03You think this is over.
01:14:07I'm the heiress of the Wimbledon family.
01:14:10The Thornton name is as good as ruined.
01:14:14The Thornton name is as good as ruined.
01:14:15You can't do that, Ashley.
01:14:21Watch me.
01:14:22You're not the only heiress here.
01:14:29I own Miller Empire.
01:14:35And if you come for the Thorntons, the Miller Empire is going to come for you so hard.
01:14:44You've got guts, Jessica.
01:14:50I like you.
01:14:54I gotta tell you, I didn't expect that.
01:14:58This is so much better than watching TV.
01:14:59I'm glad to see you've replaced me with someone with a little fire, Daniel.
01:15:08I always knew Daniel didn't love me, but he was too afraid of his father to ever go after his true love.
01:15:17But I guess I'm happy that he's found someone who wants the same things as him.
01:15:27So...
01:15:28That's it?
01:15:30That's it.
01:15:34Enjoy your happy ending, darling.
01:15:41Andrea, bring the car around.
01:15:46Did that actually just happen?
01:15:48Yeah.
01:15:49Wow.
01:15:51You two really don't let anyone or anything get in the way of true love.
01:15:56You didn't see that come.
01:15:58This is all your fault, Mom.
01:16:02If you wouldn't have been so reckless, then maybe you wouldn't be in this mess.
01:16:04Don't put all the blame on me.
01:16:06You're just as much a part of this as I am.
01:16:08Where is Adrian?
01:16:09You should be here right now.
01:16:12Miss me?
01:16:13Where have you been?
01:16:14Just tying up a few loose ends.
01:16:16Don't worry about it.
01:16:18Everything's going according to plan.
01:16:20Plan?
01:16:20What plan?
01:16:22Everything's falling apart.
01:16:25What did you do, Adrian?
01:16:36Well, me, myself, I done nothing illegal.
01:16:39You two, on the other hand, that's a different story.
01:16:43You set us up!
01:16:45I'm just ensuring my own safety.
01:16:48After all, I kept my hands clean.
01:16:50You're not going to get away with this, asshole!
01:16:59I already have.
01:17:00I remember when this place was filled with warmth and laughter.
01:17:11Used to be a real family home back then.
01:17:14Then things just went south.
01:17:17Things will be fine again, Mom, I promise.
01:17:20We'll turn this into a good family house.
01:17:22No more hatred.
01:17:24No more backstabbing.
01:17:26I missed you every single day, Jess.
01:17:28I'm so sorry for everything both of us had to go through.
01:17:35Jessica?
01:17:37Well?
01:17:39I am so sorry for everything that I've done to you both.
01:17:43I was wrong.
01:17:45And I know I can never fully make up for it.
01:17:49But I want to try.
01:17:50James, you kept us apart for so many years.
01:17:53It's going to be hard to forgive and forget.
01:17:55I know, Clara.
01:18:00Jess, are you all right?
01:18:04Yeah, no, I'm...
01:18:06I'm fine.
01:18:07You know, I just feel...
01:18:09I just feel nauseous, that's all.
01:18:12Have you been getting any other symptoms, like...
01:18:15dizziness or fatigue?
01:18:18Well, yeah, but I just thought that was...
01:18:20from all the stress.
01:18:21Oh.
01:18:22Sweetheart.
01:18:26You're pregnant.
01:18:27Really?
01:18:28You're showing all the signs, Jess.
01:18:33We're going to have a baby?
01:18:35Wait.
01:18:37That means I'm going to be a grandpa.
01:18:39Yeah.
01:18:41Yeah.
01:18:43Oh, Kim.
01:18:45Oh, oh, oh.
01:18:49Daniel.
01:18:52Something you need to do.
01:18:56What's this?
01:18:58This is a ring your grandma left.
01:19:00And I think this is the perfect time to use it.
01:19:05Go, Grant.
01:19:06We're going to do this.
01:19:07Yeah.
01:19:08Go.
01:19:12Jess.
01:19:20Jess!
01:19:20Jess!
01:19:20What?
01:19:21Jess, I know we've only ever spent time together a week during Christmas.
01:19:27And we've been through so much in that time.
01:19:30And over the past five years, all I've wanted to do is be with you.
01:19:35And I've had to endure the pain of that not being possible.
01:19:38I want to spend every waking moment in time with you.
01:19:41What I'm trying to say is, Jess, will you marry me?
01:19:51For real this time?
01:19:53Yes, Daniel.
01:19:54Yes, I will marry you.
01:19:56Yes.
01:19:56Really?
01:19:57Yes.
01:19:58Yes, I will marry you.
01:20:28.
01:20:58.
01:21:28.
01:21:30.
01:21:32.
01:21:34.
01:21:36.
