00:00:04Cheers.
00:00:05May I be full of surprises.
00:00:07Ho, ho, ho.
00:00:08I have a gift for you.
00:00:10Jessica, you have inherited this mansion,
00:00:13along with your father's business empire
00:00:15and 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!
00:00:28Let me hold on to that for you, baby.
00:00:31Yeah.
00:00:32You know, my whole life,
00:00:34I grew up in foster care,
00:00:37moving from place to place,
00:00:38and now I finally have a place that I can call home.
00:00:43It was real great to win the jackpot.
00:00:45Now my only wish is to reunite with my mother.
00:00:49You bastard child!
00:00:51You will never reunite with your mother.
00:00:54We made sure that that whore is gone forever.
00:00:56My mother is gone because of you?
00:00:59Well, we had a little help from James Thornton,
00:01:02the most powerful man in the Thornton family.
00:01:06Time for you to go back to your poor little country, sis.
00:01:09Yes, mother?
00:01:11USCIS.
00:01:12Your visa were expired years ago.
00:01:13You're being deported.
00:01:14What? No, there must be some mistake.
00:01:17Adrian, didn't you help me file my immigration paperwork?
00:01:20Whoops.
00:01:21Well, I guess I screwed up.
00:01:23What?
00:01:26Hey, baby.
00:01:27Hey.
00:01:28Adrian, are you cheating on me?
00:01:30With her?
00:01:31Choose the right side, babe.
00:01:33You'll never win against them.
00:01:34That's true.
00:01:35Um, according to the terms of the will,
00:01:38non-citizens are not eligible to inherit the estate.
00:01:42Everything will pass to your next of kin,
00:01:44Lisa and Kristen Miller.
00:01:47You thought you could get rich overnight?
00:01:50Keep dreaming.
00:01:52Seriously?
00:01:53Bon voyage, half sis.
00:02:01This?
00:02:01The boss is urgent.
00:02:02They're about to deport a woman named Jessica Miller.
00:02:06Jessica Miller?
00:02:08It's her.
00:02:17Oh, thank God you're alive.
00:02:19She's so beautiful and kind.
00:02:21The girl I've always dreamed of.
00:02:23She saved my life once.
00:02:25I owe her.
00:02:29Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
00:02:32Jessica?
00:02:33Do I know you?
00:02:34She doesn't remember me.
00:02:40I'm Daniel.
00:02:42You're a lawyer.
00:02:43Just pretend we know each other.
00:02:44If I can get you out of here.
00:02:46We've spoken to the judge,
00:02:47and Miss Miller should be released immediately.
00:02:50Wait, wait, you can't deport her.
00:02:52She is about to marry a U.S. citizen.
00:02:57Who's the lucky guy?
00:02:58I am.
00:02:59I marry her.
00:03:06A fake marriage won't save her.
00:03:07Our marriage is real.
00:03:09Mm-hmm, yeah.
00:03:10A hundred percent real.
00:03:11No.
00:03:11Prove it then.
00:03:19That's it?
00:03:20You call that a kiss?
00:03:24No.
00:03:24No.
00:03:25No.
00:03:33Need more proof, officer?
00:03:35Look.
00:03:35This guy is a lawyer
00:03:37to some of the most important families in town.
00:03:40And if you don't let her go,
00:03:42then he'll make sure you lose your damn job.
00:03:44Fine, you can have her.
00:03:45Thank you, officer.
00:03:51Guys, I think we're good.
00:03:54It's not over.
00:03:58We'll be checking your marital status
00:03:59and conducting interviews.
00:04:01And there are a few very specific requirements
00:04:03you should know.
00:04:04Make sure you two are staying in the same house
00:04:07and sleeping in the same bed.
00:04:09Or it's game over.
00:04:13Well...
00:04:16Thank you...
00:04:17for the rescue.
00:04:20Oh, it's no problem.
00:04:22But, um...
00:04:25Daniel...
00:04:25Would you...
00:04:27Would you marry me?
00:04:29Oh, Jessica.
00:04:30I've waited for this moment for five years.
00:04:32I mean, it would only be a...
00:04:34contract marriage.
00:04:36But once I get my green card,
00:04:38I'll inherit my father's business empire
00:04:41and...
00:04:42I'll share half of it with you.
00:04:44Even your misunderstanding looks so cute.
00:04:47I only want you, Jessica.
00:04:49But...
00:04:49before I get my green card,
00:04:52you're gonna have to help me deal
00:04:53with my stepsister and her mom.
00:04:56They're trying to get rid of me.
00:04:57And they've already stolen my fortune.
00:05:00And they made my mother disappear.
00:05:05Deal.
00:05:06What?
00:05:08That's it?
00:05:11This lily stands for loyalties and new beginnings.
00:05:15Something that I want with you.
00:05:17Now I know it's rushed.
00:05:20But I promise you...
00:05:22I will buy you a proper ring soon.
00:05:30Maybe.
00:05:33From now on, let's make every Christmas our own.
00:05:36Fill it.
00:05:37Full of memories.
00:05:41Ugh.
00:05:50You...
00:05:51You can't do this!
00:05:52Jess, it's okay.
00:05:53Just wait here.
00:05:54I'll handle it.
00:06:00What?
00:06:02Why are you helping that girl?
00:06:04Kristen Miller is our ally.
00:06:06And she wants her the hell out of this picture.
00:06:08It's too late, Dad.
00:06:09We already got married.
00:06:11Are you insane?
00:06:12Did you forget you're supposed to marry Ashley?
00:06:18Daniel Thornton.
00:06:20My mother is gone because of you?
00:06:22Well, we had a little help from James Thornton.
00:06:25The most powerful man in THE Thornton family.
00:06:29Wait.
00:06:30I recognize that face from the newspaper.
00:06:33That was James Thornton.
00:06:35From the Thornton family.
00:06:37The family responsible for my mother's disappearance.
00:06:44Stop telling me what I can and cannot do.
00:06:46She saved my life.
00:06:47I owe it to her.
00:06:48Roll the hell up, Daniel.
00:06:50You need to remember your position as the heir to our family.
00:06:53And you need to divorce that girl.
00:06:55Now I'm doing this to clean your mess up.
00:06:59Just leave us alone.
00:07:08Sorry about that.
00:07:09Is your name Daniel Thornton?
00:07:14Yeah.
00:07:16The Thornton family are responsible for the disappearance of my mother.
00:07:21I have been searching for her my entire life.
00:07:25Jess.
00:07:26I can explain.
00:07:27I'm not marrying Thornton.
00:07:28Wait, wait, wait.
00:07:29Jess.
00:07:29Jess.
00:07:30I'm not who you think I am.
00:07:32I have nothing to do with that family.
00:07:34Oh, really?
00:07:34Because your name is right here.
00:07:36On the marriage certificate.
00:07:39I share the last name as Thornton.
00:07:40And I am not one of them.
00:07:42Thornton is a common name.
00:07:44Just an ordinary guy.
00:07:45Really?
00:07:45Well, I don't believe you.
00:07:46I saw you talking to James Thornton.
00:07:49Is he your father?
00:07:53Is he your father?
00:07:54No.
00:07:55He's not my father.
00:07:56He was threatening to drive you out of the country and I was not going to have anything to do
00:07:59with it.
00:07:59Jess.
00:08:00I'm on your side.
00:08:01You're not one of them.
00:08:05I'm sorry.
00:08:08It's okay.
00:08:09Don't worry about it.
00:08:14Well, you have a nice apartment.
00:08:17Welcome.
00:08:20Is that your Labrador?
00:08:22That looks exactly like mine.
00:08:23I got mine as a Christmas present when I was nine.
00:08:25No way.
00:08:26I got mine as a Christmas present when I was nine.
00:08:29That's crazy.
00:08:34Jess, we're going to have to sleep in the same room together just in case immigration ambush us.
00:08:38Yeah, but are you sure you're okay sleeping on the carpet?
00:08:41I mean, you've done so much for me already and I just...
00:08:45Jess, please.
00:08:46I insist.
00:08:46We made a deal, remember?
00:08:49I also want to thank you for giving me the chance to get rich.
00:08:55It's okay, Daniel.
00:09:31I was joking.
00:09:39Uh, yeah.
00:09:39Could you pass me the towel?
00:09:42It's just hanging up next to the door.
00:09:44Uh, yeah.
00:09:46Sure.
00:09:46Sure.
00:10:00Oh my god.
00:10:01What?
00:10:02I just got fired.
00:10:03What?
00:10:06Uh, wait Jess, let me go with you.
00:10:09What?
00:10:11What?
00:10:22Sam, please don't fire me.
00:10:25I'm sorry Jess, but your immigration issue put us in a tough spot.
00:10:30I've worked for this company for years.
00:10:34I'm sorry Jess.
00:10:35There's nothing I can do.
00:10:38I'm sorry.
00:10:39I'm sorry.
00:10:44Look who's here.
00:10:46Someone who just got fired.
00:10:49This suits you.
00:10:53It was you.
00:10:55I should have known you were behind this.
00:10:57I'm not going to let you stay here and ruin things.
00:11:00I'm going to take away everything you have, sister.
00:11:07You just made a big mistake, sir.
00:11:09Who are you?
00:11:10My name is Daniel Thornton.
00:11:12Son of James Thornton.
00:11:14The chairman of Thornton Enterprise.
00:11:17Oh, uh, Mr. Thornton, uh, welcome.
00:11:22What brings you here?
00:11:24Well, I have some good news for you.
00:11:28Jessica Miller?
00:11:29Hmm?
00:11:30She's just closed a billion dollar deal.
00:11:33Take a look.
00:11:44Oh, my God.
00:11:50It's real.
00:11:52Absolutely.
00:11:53With her hard work and dedication, she's made this possible.
00:11:56It's a real shame you're going to lose such a valuable employee.
00:12:00Oh, uh, Mr. Thornton, um, I have made a huge mistake.
00:12:07Uh, Jessica will stay.
00:12:10Good.
00:12:12And, uh, make sure nobody knows we had this conversation.
00:12:20Jessica!
00:12:21You should have told me!
00:12:26What are you talking about, Sam?
00:12:28Jessica!
00:12:29You secured a huge deal for the company!
00:12:32Thank you!
00:12:34Did you not just fire her?
00:12:36I changed my mind.
00:12:38Jessica's staying.
00:12:40Actually, she's being promoted to sales manager.
00:12:45Can't afford to lose someone as valuable as, like, her?
00:12:48Great.
00:12:50Thanks, Sam.
00:12:52This is not over.
00:12:57I can't believe it!
00:12:59Jessica kept her job, and she gets promoted!
00:13:02Don't worry, Lisa.
00:13:03I just spoke with James Thornton, and he had the lawyer change the will in our favor.
00:13:08Jessica will get nothing.
00:13:10Oh, my God.
00:13:12That's fantastic.
00:13:24No way!
00:13:31Jessica?
00:13:33How's work?
00:13:34Did you get your job back?
00:13:35Daniel, I need a lawyer.
00:13:45Well, look who decided to show up.
00:13:48Too bad for you, Jess.
00:13:50Turns out Daddy's will left you nothing.
00:13:53I knew all along Robert wouldn't leave anything for this little, pathetic, bastard child.
00:14:00You are out of luck.
00:14:02Well, that's a lie!
00:14:03You showed me the will.
00:14:05And I signed the documents.
00:14:08I'm sorry, Jessica.
00:14:09I've just discovered a revised will that, um, supports Kristen and Lisa's claims.
00:14:17Just a thought.
00:14:18Who is this?
00:14:19He's my lawyer.
00:14:20And a damn good one.
00:14:22Oh!
00:14:23You know, Jess, I didn't realize you had enough money to pay for a fancy little lawyer.
00:14:27You sleep with them?
00:14:31Patrick, can I have a word with you outside?
00:14:34Talk all you want.
00:14:35It won't change anything.
00:14:44All right, Patrick.
00:14:46I'm gonna keep this short and sweet.
00:14:48I know you changed the will to favor Kristen and Lisa.
00:14:50I know what you're talking about, Mr. Thornton.
00:14:53The revised will's solid.
00:14:54Ted found an email exchange with my father.
00:14:57Here, take a look.
00:15:00You've been caught, Patrick.
00:15:02Honor of the will, I'll report you to the Bar Association.
00:15:05You'll lose your license and any chance of practicing law again.
00:15:08That goes against your father's wishes.
00:15:10You don't understand the position he put me in.
00:15:12I'll deal with my father.
00:15:13Don't you worry about that.
00:15:16You just worry about doing the right thing.
00:15:23Um, this revised will is a fake.
00:15:26The original will stand.
00:15:27What the hell are you doing?
00:15:28He's doing the right thing.
00:15:33Jessica, you've got your inheritance back.
00:15:35Congratulations.
00:15:37Oh. My. God.
00:15:40Patrick, do what you are supposed to do,
00:15:43or James will make sure you face the consequences.
00:15:47Oh, my God.
00:15:48Don't listen to her, Patrick.
00:15:50I'll deal with James Thornton.
00:15:51Who the hell do you think you are?
00:15:54James Thornton is one of the most powerful men in this town.
00:15:58I sure can.
00:15:59Isn't that right, Patrick?
00:16:01Y-yes.
00:16:02The original will stands.
00:16:04No! You are crazy!
00:16:06No, I'm not.
00:16:07According to the original will, Jessica stands to inherit this mansion.
00:16:11Kristen, you're out.
00:16:13I think you two should leave.
00:16:15You homewrecker.
00:16:17Just like your mother.
00:16:19I will not allow violence.
00:16:21I didn't come here to argue over a house and assets.
00:16:27I came here to be recognized as an actual member of this family.
00:16:31Yeah, well, it's easy for you to say you're getting everything.
00:16:33You don't know how lucky you are, Lisa!
00:16:35You grew up with a father who loved you.
00:16:38I had none.
00:16:39And you took my mother away from me and I still don't know where she is!
00:16:45You two don't deserve this mansion.
00:16:48And I would rather give it away to a charity than to see the two of you living in it.
00:17:00You two should pack your things up.
00:17:01You have one week to leave this house.
00:17:11What the hell were you thinking?
00:17:14Sabotaging my plan?
00:17:15I was just doing the right thing.
00:17:17The right thing? Going against me?
00:17:20Kristen Miller has got no power anymore.
00:17:23Her game is over.
00:17:24I'm sure you didn't come all this way just to argue with me.
00:17:27So what do you want?
00:17:30I just want Jessica to get her mom back.
00:17:35Interesting.
00:17:38What's in it for me?
00:17:40Once Jessica gets her mom back, I'll do whatever you want.
00:17:44Whatever I want?
00:17:46Like what exactly?
00:17:48I'll marry Ashley.
00:17:51You'll marry Ashley?
00:17:53Yeah.
00:17:54You're willing to do that?
00:17:56Yeah.
00:17:57I am.
00:17:59But only if she's reunited with her mother.
00:18:03Okay.
00:18:04Deal.
00:18:06I'll make the arrangements.
00:18:08So you're really in love with this one, huh?
00:18:11Yeah.
00:18:12I am.
00:18:15I sure hope she's working.
00:18:18She is.
00:18:23What's wrong?
00:18:24We have...
00:18:26A guest.
00:18:28Mr. Thornton.
00:18:30Good to see you again.
00:18:32Interview time.
00:18:34Great.
00:18:36When did you two meet?
00:18:39We met at a friend's party two years ago.
00:18:42What do you say, Jessica?
00:18:43Hm?
00:18:45Oh, yeah, yeah.
00:18:48Interesting.
00:18:50And when did you decide to get married?
00:18:52Eight months ago.
00:18:54Six months or eight months, which one is it?
00:18:57Yeah, eight months ago.
00:18:58Sorry, I just...
00:18:59Sorry, I'm always getting mixed up.
00:19:02Sure.
00:19:03Easy mistake to make.
00:19:06And what's your anniversary date?
00:19:08March 15th.
00:19:10March 15th.
00:19:12All right.
00:19:18That's it?
00:19:19Yes, Mr. Thornton.
00:19:20I have everything I need.
00:19:22I'll report back to the judges.
00:19:26Oh, wait.
00:19:27Uh...
00:19:28This.
00:19:30How did we do in there?
00:19:35It was...
00:19:36pretty bad.
00:19:38Look.
00:19:40I'm the son of James Thornton.
00:19:42I know who you are.
00:19:45Okay.
00:19:48You wouldn't bribe me.
00:19:51Yes.
00:19:52I can't be bribed.
00:19:54Here's one million dollars.
00:20:00Two million dollars.
00:20:02Right.
00:20:06Three.
00:20:08Million dollars.
00:20:09It's tempting, but like I said, you can't bribe me.
00:20:12Please.
00:20:13Can you just give us one more week to prepare?
00:20:16I really wanna be with this woman.
00:20:18She means the world to me.
00:20:20She saved my life.
00:20:21I'm not gonna take your money, but I'll give you one week.
00:20:24Make it count.
00:20:27Next time I wanna see some genuine affection between you two.
00:20:30If anything seems a bit off, your game's up.
00:20:33Of course.
00:20:34And...
00:20:35One more thing.
00:20:37I can tell you two haven't had sex yet.
00:20:40I'm that good, Mr. Daniel.
00:20:43Don't try and fool me.
00:20:48She gave us another chance.
00:20:50Oh, my God.
00:20:51We have one week to get our story straight.
00:20:54Thank you, Daniel.
00:20:56You've been very, very helpful today.
00:21:16Now, I wanted to make our first Christmas special, so I did a little digging and I found this.
00:21:23This tree is amazing.
00:21:30What happened?
00:21:34Let me have a look.
00:21:35Okay, so...
00:21:59Um...
00:22:02I have a festive gift for you, too.
00:22:15Wow. Jess, you look gorgeous.
00:22:25And then I told him that's not how you negotiate.
00:22:28You did it!
00:22:29You did.
00:22:32Oh.
00:23:11This could be wrong.
00:23:13Maybe.
00:23:15Maybe not.
00:23:20Yeah.
00:23:31and that is how you
00:23:34your only fan
00:23:51it's stuck uh hold on i've got this
00:24:30so
00:24:34so
00:24:52That watch looks familiar.
00:24:56I know, I've seen this before in a magazine.
00:25:00It looks like one of those Thornton family watches.
00:25:08Is it real?
00:25:11No, it's fake.
00:25:16You wear a fake watch?
00:25:19Yeah.
00:25:29I'm so happy, Jess.
00:25:36There's also something I need to tell you about your mom.
00:25:54Oh my god. Did I just sleep with Daniel last night? I told him it would only be a contract
00:26:00marriage.
00:26:09Morning.
00:26:10This is the most beautiful morning that I've ever had.
00:26:14Daniel, I'm so sorry about last night. It wasn't supposed to happen and I promise it will never happen again.
00:26:26She didn't mean it.
00:26:28Oh, Jessica. Last night was amazing.
00:26:34Yeah, Jess, I get it. It was a one-time thing.
00:26:42Yeah, just a one-time thing.
00:26:47Anyway, it's your big day today. We're the new CEO of the Miller Empire.
00:26:55Thank you for the reminder.
00:27:00Now that you mention it, I'm really scared.
00:27:03Oh, no, Jess. I didn't mean it like that.
00:27:08What I was meant to say is, I'm gonna help you.
00:27:17I don't know what to do, Mother. That bitch is kicking us out.
00:27:20We still have a chance. That bastard child needs a unanimous vote from the board to be chosen as the
00:27:26next CEO.
00:27:28So we just need a board member to back this up.
00:27:31I will call Richard. Everyone respects Richard's vote.
00:27:34And I will make sure he doesn't vote for her.
00:27:37And I'll dig up all the dirt I can find on her.
00:27:40You go, girl.
00:27:51These clothes are beautiful, but very expensive.
00:27:59Like this one. That is $9,000.
00:28:03Jess, don't worry about it.
00:28:06It's on me.
00:28:07Look at it as my first gift to my wife.
00:28:11Daniel, I can't let you pay for this.
00:28:14Look, Jess, you're gonna be a CEO.
00:28:16Which means you've got to look the part.
00:28:18Trust me. It's an investment.
00:28:22Mr. Thornton, welcome back. How can I succeed today?
00:28:26Come here a lot?
00:28:27Uh, no.
00:28:28Well, of course, Mr. Thornton owns this store.
00:28:31Uh, Jess, why don't you try this one on?
00:28:35You'll look great in it.
00:28:40Wow, Jess, you look amazing.
00:28:45You think so?
00:28:46Yeah.
00:28:48This is exactly what a CEO would wear.
00:28:50Absolutely.
00:28:51Great choice.
00:28:52We'll take this one.
00:28:55Something on your mind?
00:28:57Well, it's probably nothing, but it's just that clerk seemed very fond of you.
00:29:03Oh, uh, being friendly is a part of my job.
00:29:07Okay.
00:29:08Okay.
00:29:14So that's how you got your lawyer, huh?
00:29:18Now that you mention it, maybe she was a little friendly.
00:29:22But we got a discount.
00:29:25Show on.
00:29:34What a slut.
00:29:39Trust me, Jess.
00:29:40You can do this.
00:29:42Yeah, but what if they don't accept me?
00:29:44They will.
00:29:45Trust me.
00:29:45Just speak from the heart.
00:29:47Show your true self.
00:29:49Look at you two little lovebirds.
00:29:54Pathetic.
00:29:57Ted, can we talk about this later?
00:30:00Okay.
00:30:02You go in.
00:30:03I'll meet you in there soon, okay?
00:30:11Good luck in there, sis.
00:30:14You're gonna need it.
00:30:16You don't have the votes.
00:30:20I know my background doesn't seem very typical of a CEO, but I built myself from the bottom up here.
00:30:26Miller Corporation is a leader in tech and services, reaching industries from healthcare to energy.
00:30:37We have over 10,000 employees worldwide who have worked hard to build this company from the ground up.
00:30:45And I was one of them.
00:30:46I know them.
00:30:48And I believe that I can help lead this company to become everyone's company.
00:30:54Let's proceed to the vote.
00:30:56All in favor?
00:31:01Robert lost his damn mind.
00:31:03He picked his secret child to be the CEO, only because of his guilty conscience.
00:31:08Richard, if I may-
00:31:10I'm not done talking.
00:31:12You can't lead us.
00:31:13And you're not getting my vote.
00:31:16Richard, if I may speak-
00:31:18Go ahead.
00:31:19But I won't change my mind.
00:31:25Sorry for interrupting everyone, but I have something important to share with you all today.
00:31:29Who the hell are you?
00:31:30Well, Richard, I'm the person who's going to expose you.
00:31:34What did you just say?
00:31:36How do I say this?
00:31:38Uh...
00:31:38You're a sex pervert.
00:31:40What?
00:31:43You see, everyone, this file contains multiple sexual harassment lawsuits against Richard over the past 30 years.
00:31:54Some of them also have ongoing lawsuits.
00:31:57They're all just allegations, and they've all been settled.
00:32:00I'm innocent.
00:32:01We've also got in contact with some of the victims, and they're willing to come forward and testify.
00:32:05Actually-
00:32:06I have not finished yet.
00:32:08You're also stealing money from the company.
00:32:10And we have the financial records to know that.
00:32:18The evidence is clear.
00:32:20He's guilty.
00:32:22Okay then, let's all vote for Richard Donnell's immediate suspension.
00:32:27All in favor?
00:32:33We have 15 books.
00:32:35The board has decided.
00:32:37Richard Donnell is officially removed from his position.
00:32:41Security.
00:32:42Escort him out immediately.
00:32:44I know my way.
00:32:49And all in favor of appointing Jessica Miller as the new CEO.
00:33:10I'm sorry I was late.
00:33:11I had to make sure I had enough evidence to nail him.
00:33:13No, don't be sorry, Daniel.
00:33:15That was so worth the wait.
00:33:17Good.
00:33:20This is not over.
00:33:21You'll see.
00:33:22How's packing going, Lisa?
00:33:24You're about to be evicted, sir.
00:33:26Bye-bye.
00:33:31She won again, that bitch.
00:33:34I know. It's so unfair.
00:33:35Do we have a guest?
00:33:37Lisa, honey.
00:33:39I've been trying to reach ya.
00:33:41Why haven't you returned my calls?
00:33:43I've been busy.
00:33:44Busy.
00:33:45Dealing with Jessica.
00:33:47How did you know?
00:33:48Oh, I know.
00:33:49And I think I know how to help you take her down.
00:33:52Again.
00:33:53No use to me anymore, Adrian.
00:33:55I only needed you to help me get rid of Jessica.
00:33:58To the new CEO of the Miller Empire.
00:34:04Well, I couldn't have done it without you, Daniel.
00:34:06I also have another Christmas surprise for you.
00:34:10Who are you calling?
00:34:15Is it?
00:34:16Yes, Jess.
00:34:17It's your mother, Clara.
00:34:19Oh, my God!
00:34:20Mom!
00:34:21Oh, Jessica, you're a grown woman now.
00:34:24The Miller family threatened to kill you, Jess.
00:34:27I had no option but to vanish.
00:34:31Oh, Mom, it's okay.
00:34:33It's okay.
00:34:33Like, you didn't do anything wrong.
00:34:35I'll bring you back into the country, I promised.
00:34:39Daniel, how did you find her?
00:34:41I have a few powerful friends.
00:34:43They did me a favor.
00:34:44But I'll leave you two alone.
00:34:54I'll leave you two alone.
00:34:56Two more, please.
00:35:00Daniel.
00:35:03Adrian!
00:35:04Long time no see, buddy.
00:35:06Oh, my God!
00:35:07How long has it been?
00:35:08Ten years.
00:35:09Ten years!
00:35:10Oh, my God!
00:35:12The last time I must have seen you was, uh, law school.
00:35:16Yep.
00:35:17Go Reds.
00:35:18Go Reds.
00:35:21What are you doing here?
00:35:23Just in town to run some errands.
00:35:25Just finally come in for a quick bite.
00:35:27Nice, man, nice.
00:35:29I saw your date earlier.
00:35:31She looks pretty.
00:35:32Yeah, my wife!
00:35:34Your wife?
00:35:35Yeah, Jess!
00:35:36You're married?
00:35:37Yes!
00:35:38Yeah, you have to introduce me to her.
00:35:39Come on, let's go say hi.
00:35:41Come and say hello.
00:35:42It's good to see you, buddy.
00:35:43Good to see you too, man.
00:35:45Jess.
00:35:46I wanted you to meet an old friend of mine.
00:35:48Adrian, this is Jess.
00:35:49Jess, this is Adrian.
00:35:51We went to law school together.
00:35:57I...
00:35:57I don't want to see him.
00:36:01I...
00:36:02I don't want to see him.
00:36:05You two know each other.
00:36:07Yes, Daniel.
00:36:08I was her first boyfriend.
00:36:13Come on, Jess.
00:36:15Don't you miss me.
00:36:16I don't want to see you anymore.
00:36:19You know you're still in love with me, Jess.
00:36:21No, I don't.
00:36:26I think you should leave, Adrian.
00:36:28Okay, Daniel.
00:36:29Relax.
00:36:30Now.
00:36:36I'm leaving.
00:36:41Did she know she's lying?
00:36:46First, Adrian Wesley now represents Lisa and Kristen Miller.
00:36:51They wanted to test the word.
00:36:52I should have known.
00:36:54What else?
00:36:55Adrian also used to meet Jessica.
00:36:57Actually.
00:36:58He's the one who sabotaged Jessica's immigration paperwork.
00:37:02It caused all this trouble.
00:37:07That son of a bitch.
00:37:09We need to win this war.
00:37:11Do whatever it takes.
00:37:20Daniel.
00:37:23Sorry.
00:37:23Did I wake you?
00:37:25No.
00:37:26Can...
00:37:27Can you join me in bed, please?
00:37:33You sure?
00:37:38I just...
00:37:39I wanted to apologize.
00:37:41For earlier.
00:37:43The restaurant.
00:37:46I got a bit carried away.
00:37:49Jess, you don't need to apologize.
00:37:52Adrian's an asshole.
00:37:53He's just trying to do it to get under your skin.
00:37:55I didn't care for Adrian once, but he just destroyed everything we had.
00:38:02I want you to know that I'm here because of you.
00:38:09And you're the only one who I love.
00:38:14No one else.
00:38:26I love you too, Jess.
00:38:29And I'm not going anywhere.
00:38:43Good morning, husband.
00:38:45Morning, wife.
00:38:48Are you ready for your big day as the new CEO?
00:38:50If only you were with me.
00:39:12You're going to do great today.
00:39:22Jess, here's your coffee.
00:39:28What's wrong?
00:39:29No, it's just...
00:39:30It's this job.
00:39:30It's all so new to me.
00:39:33Okay.
00:39:34Calm down.
00:39:35Remember.
00:39:35You're the CEO.
00:39:37Which means you're the boss.
00:39:39Yeah, but I don't know how to be a boss.
00:39:43Hey, Jess.
00:39:44Look at you sitting in the big chair now.
00:39:48Oh, Giovanna.
00:39:49I am so happy you're here.
00:39:52Aww.
00:39:54You must be Daniel.
00:39:56Jessica's been talking about you for days.
00:40:00I'm flattered.
00:40:01I really wish you could be here with me, G. It's exhausting.
00:40:05Oh, at least you have a job, Jess.
00:40:07I've been looking for work for the past two months.
00:40:10Jess?
00:40:11Mm-hmm.
00:40:13Do you like Deanna being here?
00:40:17Of course.
00:40:19We've been besties since... forever.
00:40:22Yeah, what kind of question is that?
00:40:24Well, why don't you use your CEO power and hire Deanna?
00:40:29Deanna.
00:40:30Oh, I don't...
00:40:31I know what you mean!
00:40:33I don't understand.
00:40:34How would you like to come work for me?
00:40:40Of course!
00:40:42Okay, then.
00:40:44My first order as a CEO...
00:40:48Gianna.
00:40:49You are hired as my personal assistant.
00:40:54Oh my God, Jess.
00:40:54Thank you so much.
00:40:56See?
00:40:57Being a boss is easy.
00:40:59You can do whatever you want.
00:41:10What's wrong?
00:41:11The company's stock prices are dropping like crazy.
00:41:15What is happening?
00:41:17This isn't normal.
00:41:19Stocks are getting dumped.
00:41:20Well, well, well.
00:41:23Looks like things aren't going so well.
00:41:25What did you do, Lisa?
00:41:27I asked Richard and some of the other investors
00:41:30to sell their stocks.
00:41:32The board members are not going to be happy about the stock prices, Jessica.
00:41:36What do you want?
00:41:37Resign.
00:41:39As CEO or I will destroy this company.
00:41:42No way.
00:41:44Okay.
00:41:45Then I will destroy this company.
00:41:48Jessica, the board members are asking to meet with you.
00:41:51They're angry.
00:41:56What are you going to do, Jess?
00:41:59Okay.
00:41:59I'll meet with the board.
00:42:01Wait, Jess.
00:42:03Don't go.
00:42:04Take a seat.
00:42:06What is it?
00:42:07Lisa.
00:42:09Are you sure the stock prices are going down?
00:42:12Because to me, they seem to be going up and up.
00:42:16That's impossible.
00:42:17You would need at least a billion dollars.
00:42:20I guess anything's possible these days.
00:42:22God damn it!
00:42:25God, she's annoying.
00:42:30You must be my lucky star.
00:42:39Daniel.
00:42:40Daniel.
00:42:43Gianna.
00:42:44I know who you are, Daniel.
00:42:46You're the son of James Thornton.
00:42:48How'd you find out?
00:42:50My identity's meant to be a secret.
00:42:51I used to work for your father.
00:42:53Please don't tell Jess.
00:42:55I'll pay you.
00:42:56How much do you want?
00:42:56I don't want your money.
00:42:58I care for my friend.
00:43:00Actually, your father fired me because I tried to help Jessica.
00:43:04I'm sorry, Gianna.
00:43:06It's okay.
00:43:08I just want to know why.
00:43:10She hates my family.
00:43:12I have to lie to her.
00:43:14She hates your family, but she loves you.
00:43:18I can see that.
00:43:20You really think so?
00:43:22Yes.
00:43:23I love her too.
00:43:26She's the best thing that's ever happened to me.
00:43:30That's good to hear.
00:43:32Please protect her.
00:43:40Daniel.
00:43:42It's my mom.
00:43:45Adrian threatened her.
00:43:50Adrian threatened my mom on the phone.
00:43:53He said he was going to block her from entering the country.
00:43:56What should we do?
00:43:59Jess, I don't want you to worry about it.
00:44:01I'm going to make sure your mom gets here safely.
00:44:19Ted.
00:44:21I need you to make sure Jessica's mom gets here safely.
00:44:24Book her on the first flight out tomorrow.
00:44:25Got it, boss.
00:44:26She'll be here in town the day after tomorrow.
00:44:29Good.
00:44:36Jess has been taken care of.
00:44:38Your mom's going to be here the day after tomorrow.
00:44:42Thank you, Daniel.
00:44:45But I'm...
00:44:47I'm still scared.
00:44:48I just... I need a day off.
00:44:51I love the sound of that.
00:44:53What do you have in mind?
00:44:54I was thinking...
00:44:59I want to buy a house.
00:45:00Yes.
00:45:10So...
00:45:12Do you like this place?
00:45:14It's amazing.
00:45:16But...
00:45:16Jess, I appreciate the gesture.
00:45:18But you don't need to buy me a house.
00:45:22No.
00:45:23No.
00:45:24I insist.
00:45:24You've done so much...
00:45:27To help me.
00:45:28Besides, we can live together...
00:45:31Here.
00:45:31Mr. Thornton.
00:45:33Hi.
00:45:33Your father is here.
00:45:35Are you meeting...
00:45:36Here?
00:45:41Well...
00:45:42I've never met your parents.
00:45:45So...
00:45:45I'm pretty excited to meet an in-law.
00:45:50Oh, is...
00:45:51Is that him?
00:45:53Come on, let's go say hi.
00:45:55Jess, wait.
00:45:56Uh...
00:45:56Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
00:45:59Um...
00:46:01I might not have told my dad about you and our marriage.
00:46:04Why?
00:46:06Uh...
00:46:08Because he has a heart condition.
00:46:10I think it's best you stay here.
00:46:13Okay.
00:46:16I'll just...
00:46:17Stay here then.
00:46:20Good.
00:46:24Dad.
00:46:26Come on.
00:46:27Daniel.
00:46:28What the hell?
00:46:29Jessica's here.
00:46:29She can't see her face.
00:46:31Don't.
00:46:31Take them off.
00:46:34I want to talk to you about Ashley, Daniel.
00:46:36Huh?
00:46:37Really?
00:46:40Why hasn't Daniel told his father about me and our wedding?
00:46:44Ashley?
00:46:44Really?
00:46:45Not today.
00:46:48And...
00:46:49What is this shirt you're wearing?
00:46:51Your mother insisted I'm wearing this charity event in the morning ride.
00:46:56Said it makes me look more grounded.
00:47:01Approachable.
00:47:04And don't go changing our subject.
00:47:05I want to discuss our agreement.
00:47:07I give you Clara, and you marry Ashley.
00:47:15Why does he look so nervous?
00:47:18Am I not good enough?
00:47:22Do we have to talk about this right now?
00:47:25I held up my end of the bargain, Daniel.
00:47:27I want this deal done now.
00:47:30Actually, Clara isn't safe yet.
00:47:33Lisa Miller might try to be sabotaging everything.
00:47:36This is why you don't mess with the Miller family.
00:47:39You should have left it alone.
00:47:41All I'm asking is just a few more days.
00:47:43Ashley is coming to town in a few days.
00:47:46What?
00:47:48Jess!
00:47:49Jess!
00:47:50Jess!
00:47:58Dad, this is Jess.
00:48:01Jess, this is Dad.
00:48:03You can call him Jimmy.
00:48:05Jimmy?
00:48:05Hmm?
00:48:07Right.
00:48:08I'm Jimmy, sweetie.
00:48:10It's lovely to meet you, Jimmy.
00:48:12And can I just say, that is a lovely Hawaiian shirt.
00:48:16It really, really suits you.
00:48:18Well, thank you, Jessica.
00:48:20It's one I'm fond of.
00:48:24So, who is Ashley?
00:48:27I heard you guys talking about her earlier.
00:48:29Oh, she's just an old family friend.
00:48:33Oh.
00:48:35They grew up and went to law school together.
00:48:37Oh.
00:48:38And she had Daniel's first kiss.
00:48:41Oh.
00:48:43Her wedding is approaching soon,
00:48:46and I'd like Daniel to attend.
00:48:48Dad!
00:48:50I'm reminiscing about the good old days.
00:48:52No, it's fine.
00:48:53Honestly, it's lovely to hear about Daniel's childhood
00:48:55and more about his life.
00:48:57You bastard child!
00:49:03Well, well.
00:49:05What do we have here?
00:49:07You think you can afford this place?
00:49:10You're about to lose this battle
00:49:12and be out on the streets soon.
00:49:15Who's this clown?
00:49:19Looks like he belongs in a circus.
00:49:21How dare you, Kristen!
00:49:23How do you know my name?
00:49:25And don't you dare call me by my first name?
00:49:28That's enough!
00:49:31Don't talk to my father like that.
00:49:33Oh!
00:49:36He's your father.
00:49:39How does it feel to be a father of such a loser?
00:49:42Don't talk to my family like that.
00:49:46Your family?
00:49:47Your family suck, Jessica.
00:49:50Especially your mother.
00:49:52The home-wrecking tramp.
00:49:55A whore.
00:49:56Oh!
00:50:13Damn!
00:50:18How dare you slap me!
00:50:21That is enough, Kristen.
00:50:25You're not going to lay a hand on my wife.
00:50:30Ladies, you need to leave.
00:50:32Now.
00:50:32You can't throw us out!
00:50:34We're buyers!
00:50:35We're not going anywhere!
00:50:36The owner of this property has banned you from coming here.
00:50:39You need to leave now or I will call security.
00:50:43You will regret this.
00:50:47I've heard that a thousand times.
00:50:50Now leave.
00:50:54Go on.
00:51:01Thank you, Jessica.
00:51:03You stood up for me.
00:51:05Well, we're a family, Jimmy.
00:51:07That's what I'm supposed to do.
00:51:12Well, I appreciate it.
00:51:14You're a nice girl.
00:51:17You found a good wife, son.
00:51:21Dad.
00:51:22About Ashy's wedding.
00:51:24I don't think I'm going to be able to make it.
00:51:26I'll look into it.
00:51:27I'll speak to her about it.
00:51:29Oh, no, no, no, no.
00:51:31Daniel can still attend.
00:51:32It's not a problem.
00:51:34Jess, I just want to focus on you and I.
00:51:36I'm not the jealous type.
00:51:39Plus, I don't want you to miss your first crush's wedding.
00:51:43Well, you decide, Daniel.
00:51:46Oh, there's a long party.
00:51:48You two want to come?
00:51:50It's in three hours.
00:51:52Yeah.
00:51:54That will go.
00:51:55Great.
00:51:57I'll see you there.
00:52:08Well, this place is extremely high class.
00:52:13Well, my dad has a few rich friends.
00:52:20And James Thornton is here.
00:52:24I know you don't want to see him.
00:52:26But, Jess, my dad's here.
00:52:28He's going to join us later.
00:52:30Okay.
00:52:32The bidding's about to start.
00:52:38Oh, the bitch is here.
00:52:40I know.
00:52:41Don't worry.
00:52:42We can teach him a lesson.
00:52:43Yeah, how?
00:52:44Let's see if Daniel can handle a little humiliation.
00:52:49With money.
00:52:50Here, with money?
00:52:51What money?
00:52:51I haven't gotten my inheritance back yet.
00:52:53Yeah, I know.
00:52:54Your mother spoke to Richard.
00:52:55He said he's willing to donate us some cash
00:52:57if we make Jessica look ugly.
00:52:59Oh.
00:53:02You're the best.
00:53:05I know.
00:53:10Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to this evening's auction.
00:53:13We have for you the last dance.
00:53:16Bid starts at one million dollars.
00:53:22One million dollars!
00:53:26Two million dollars, right here.
00:53:32Three million dollars!
00:53:37Three million dollars!
00:53:38Four million dollars!
00:53:40What are they doing?
00:53:41Where did they get that money from?
00:53:43I don't know.
00:53:44But they're definitely trying to humiliate you here.
00:53:46Really?
00:53:47But I don't even care about this bit.
00:53:50Five million dollars!
00:53:51Daniel, what are you doing?
00:53:54Daniel, what are you doing?
00:53:54Don't worry, Jess.
00:53:55I've got this.
00:53:58Five million dollars!
00:54:00Daniel, what are you doing?
00:54:02Don't worry, Jess.
00:54:03I've got this.
00:54:04I got six million dollars.
00:54:07Cash.
00:54:08Boom.
00:54:09Cash.
00:54:12Watch this.
00:54:14Seven million dollars.
00:54:17Eight million dollars!
00:54:19Did that just happen?
00:54:20Ten million dollars!
00:54:24Ten million dollars!
00:54:26Ten million.
00:54:28Once.
00:54:29Twice.
00:54:30Sold.
00:54:31To a gentleman there.
00:54:40Where did you get that money from?
00:54:42Well?
00:54:43Do you remember me telling you about I have a powerful friend?
00:54:47Yeah, the one who helped me find my mother.
00:54:51Jessica?
00:54:52James Thornton.
00:54:54In the flesh.
00:54:56Or...
00:54:56Mrs. Thornton.
00:54:58I want to apologize to you.
00:55:00I am truly sorry for everything I did to you and your mother.
00:55:04But I'm trying my best to make amends.
00:55:08Well...
00:55:09I don't know what to say.
00:55:12Jess, I know it's a lot to handle.
00:55:13You just gotta trust me.
00:55:15Yeah, but why didn't you just tell me in the first place, Daniel?
00:55:18Jess!
00:55:20Jessica!
00:55:20Don't!
00:55:21Follow me!
00:55:26Oh.
00:55:27This could get interesting.
00:55:29Uh-huh.
00:55:41Look who's all alone.
00:55:43No, just leave me alone.
00:55:45You're never gonna win against James Thornton.
00:55:47He's my mother's best friend.
00:55:49You're gonna lose everything.
00:55:51Poor babe.
00:55:52Still played by the big boys.
00:55:54James Thornton and his son have been playing you all along.
00:55:59What...
00:55:59What did you just say?
00:56:01James Thornton and his son?
00:56:03Wait, Jess.
00:56:04You didn't know?
00:56:05Daniel Thornton is his son.
00:56:09Oh, my God.
00:56:11I didn't know that.
00:56:12Now that I do...
00:56:14Wow.
00:56:15That's enough!
00:56:17Oh!
00:56:18Excuse me, Mr. Thornton.
00:56:20Crown Prince of the Thornton family.
00:56:31This man's been lying to you all alone.
00:56:33Poor little girl's got no one to trust.
00:56:36Both of you, get out of here.
00:56:40Hey.
00:56:49Jess, I've been trying to tell you.
00:56:50Am I a joke to you?
00:56:52No.
00:56:53What do you mean?
00:56:54You and your father.
00:56:57You've been playing me this whole time.
00:56:59No.
00:57:00I've been standing by your side all the time, Jess.
00:57:02I can't...
00:57:03I can't trust you.
00:57:05You lied to me.
00:57:07You're right.
00:57:09You're right.
00:57:12I have been hiding things from you.
00:57:16You know what I haven't told you yet?
00:57:20Another big secret.
00:57:22Are you sure you want to hear this?
00:57:29The other big secret is...
00:57:31The first time we met isn't what I think it is.
00:57:35It was five years ago.
00:57:37Five years ago?
00:57:38Yes.
00:57:40At a party.
00:57:42I was drunk and I fell in a pool.
00:57:53Oh, thank God you're alive.
00:57:59I was drowning and you saved my life.
00:58:02But you won't remember that.
00:58:05But I will forever be grateful for what you did for me that day.
00:58:09Is that it?
00:58:11That was you?
00:58:12Yes.
00:58:13My father forbid me from seeing you.
00:58:16But I didn't care.
00:58:18I confronted him.
00:58:19You can't tell me what to do, Dad!
00:58:21You can't stop me from seeing her!
00:58:23I'm doing what's best for you, Daniel.
00:58:25That girl and all her family are nothing but trouble.
00:58:29And then he decided to tell me about everything he did to you and your mom.
00:58:33And I felt so guilty.
00:58:35It's okay.
00:58:39I was ashamed to approach you.
00:58:40I just didn't know how to face you without making things worse.
00:58:43And I thought the best thing to do was just leave you alone.
00:58:47Now I know.
00:58:48And then I heard about you being deported and I just couldn't let that happen.
00:58:51Well...
00:58:52Okay.
00:58:54I saved you.
00:58:56And...
00:58:57You saved me.
00:59:00I guess we...
00:59:01Just belong together.
00:59:06Ew.
00:59:07Corny.
00:59:08But just...
00:59:13No more secrets.
00:59:15Okay?
00:59:17I promise.
00:59:19No more secrets.
00:59:21No more secrets.
00:59:37You're up early.
00:59:38Yeah.
00:59:40I'm gonna go pick your mom up from the airport.
00:59:42Better sooner than later.
00:59:46No.
00:59:47Giannis just texted me.
00:59:49She said that I have my first weekly exec meeting this morning.
00:59:54I should postpone it.
00:59:55No.
00:59:56You should definitely go to that.
00:59:58You need to look good in front of your board.
00:59:59Really?
01:00:00Yeah.
01:00:01I'm gonna go pick your mom up from the airport.
01:00:02And I'll bring her straight to the office.
01:00:05Thanks.
01:00:06You're the best.
01:00:11Well, that was better than I thought.
01:00:13Don't underestimate yourself, Jess.
01:00:15You get brains.
01:00:20Heya, Jess.
01:00:22What are you doing here?
01:00:27What are you doing here?
01:00:28I just wanted to share with you some interesting facts about your dear husband, Daniel Thornton.
01:00:34Giona.
01:00:35Can you wait outside a moment?
01:00:40Okay.
01:00:41I'm telling you now.
01:00:43Whatever bad, made up facts that you've come to tell me about Daniel,
01:00:47it's not going to work.
01:00:48Because Daniel already told me everything.
01:00:51Everything?
01:00:52Are you so sure?
01:00:54Yeah.
01:00:55Him and his father came clean about everything.
01:00:57There is nothing more to hide.
01:00:59And did they also tell you Daniel is supposed to marry his childhood sweetheart?
01:01:03What?
01:01:03Ashley Wimbledon.
01:01:05Heiress to the famous Wimbledon family.
01:01:08Ring any bells?
01:01:09Ashley.
01:01:12Ashley.
01:01:15Who is Ashley?
01:01:17I heard you guys talking about her earlier.
01:01:19Oh, she's just an old childhood friend.
01:01:24They grew up and went to law school together.
01:01:26Oh.
01:01:27And she had Daniel's first kiss.
01:01:33He did mention Ashley.
01:01:38He did?
01:01:39Yeah, but he's not gonna marry her.
01:01:41I remember that conversation.
01:01:47Daniel's picking my mother up from the airport himself.
01:01:50I'll be seeing her soon.
01:01:52What are you laughing about?
01:01:55Who?
01:01:59Daniel wants to bring her back, babe.
01:02:02You're not gonna see her.
01:02:06After years of separation with your mother, Daniel didn't let you go along with him to meet with her?
01:02:13And what kind of a husband does that?
01:02:14I had an early meeting this morning, and Daniel didn't want me to worry.
01:02:19So easily manipulated, Jess.
01:02:23Just like old times.
01:02:24Yeah.
01:02:25Well, I don't believe a word you say.
01:02:29Daniel isn't gonna bring her back.
01:02:32Care to find out together?
01:02:41Are you sure everything is taken care of?
01:02:44Yes.
01:02:44You're free to live in this country.
01:02:47Clara, I also want to apologize for everything you went through years ago.
01:02:51I'm deeply sorry.
01:02:53Well, you did bring me back here.
01:02:54Right now, I just want to see my daughter.
01:02:57We'll go, sir.
01:02:58Not so fast, Danny boy.
01:03:03You're too late, Lisa.
01:03:05Clara's here to claim Robert's inheritance back.
01:03:08Oh, I don't think so.
01:03:10Agents, do you think?
01:03:11Wait.
01:03:11What?
01:03:12This is a mistake.
01:03:13No.
01:03:14Clara's got past customs.
01:03:15She can stay.
01:03:16Sweetheart, you really think those little documents can stop this?
01:03:20I don't think so.
01:03:21Back off, Lisa.
01:03:22Watch it, pretty boy.
01:03:24Jess.
01:03:24Jess, Mom!
01:03:26Mom!
01:03:26What are you doing?
01:03:28Where are they taking my mother?
01:03:29Mom, I will bring you back, I promise.
01:03:32Just stay strong!
01:03:33Sis, it looks like you've been screwed by the Thorntons again.
01:03:36Adrian, you sabotaged this.
01:03:38You'll pay for this.
01:03:39See, babe, I told you he's not bringing her back.
01:03:43You said everything was taken care of!
01:03:45Jess, it's not me.
01:03:47It's them.
01:03:47You're lying, Daniel.
01:03:49Why don't you ask him about that thing we talked about?
01:03:51Jess.
01:03:54Jess?
01:03:54He said that you were gonna marry Ashley.
01:03:57Okay, so it's true!
01:03:58Jess, can we just talk about this?
01:04:02No.
01:04:02No, no, no, no, no.
01:04:03Thing is, Daniel, you promised me no more secrets.
01:04:06I can't trust you anymore!
01:04:08Jess!
01:04:09Kitty, it's just, uh...
01:04:11Looks like you lost, Daniel.
01:04:12You'll never get in her back.
01:04:15Ha..
01:04:35Ha..
01:04:35Oh thank God you're alive.
01:05:03I'm alive.
01:05:04Ted, what's the problem with Clara?
01:05:05Her paperwork was flawless.
01:05:07You're right, boss.
01:05:08I check her customs in the U.S.C.I.S.
01:05:11Has a call confirmed that she illegally entered the country?
01:05:13Good.
01:05:15That is enough.
01:05:18Agents, do you think?
01:05:20Wait!
01:05:21What?
01:05:21This is a mistake!
01:05:22No!
01:05:24Jess!
01:05:25Jess!
01:05:25Baby!
01:05:26Mom!
01:05:29The ICE agents weren't real.
01:05:31They were hired by Adrian and Lisa to kidnap Clara.
01:05:34Hold on a sec.
01:05:38You're right, boss.
01:05:39We found out those people want to.
01:05:42What should we do?
01:05:43I need to find out where they took them.
01:05:45Use all our contacts.
01:05:47I'm not gonna let them get away with this.
01:05:48On it, boss.
01:05:57Well, well, well, Clara.
01:06:00Bet you didn't expect to see me again, did you?
01:06:03We finally have what it takes to get it all back?
01:06:06You won't get me like that.
01:06:08You disgust me.
01:06:15Jess, we need to talk.
01:06:16I don't want to talk to you.
01:06:18It's about your mom.
01:06:19I think she was kidnapped by Adrian and Lisa's people.
01:06:21The ICE agents weren't real.
01:06:24What are you talking about?
01:06:25Well, I spoke to Ted.
01:06:27He told me that Clara legally came into the country.
01:06:30It was a setup.
01:06:32Do you actually expect me to believe that?
01:06:35After all the lies, you're so full of shit, Daniel!
01:06:45Hello, bastard child.
01:06:47Yes, we have your mother.
01:06:49And if you ever want to see her again, follow the directions to the address that we just sent you.
01:06:54And don't bring anyone.
01:06:56Especially Daniel.
01:07:00Let me come with you.
01:07:01No.
01:07:02They want me alone.
01:07:03I don't wanna...
01:07:03Jess.
01:07:04Don't follow me!
01:07:05I will not let you do this alone.
01:07:13Mom?
01:07:14Bastard child, over here.
01:07:16You let her go.
01:07:17This has gone far enough.
01:07:19Not so fast, this.
01:07:21This is only the beginning.
01:07:27You sign this.
01:07:29We let her go.
01:07:31And what is it?
01:07:33An agreement signing everything over to us.
01:07:36The house.
01:07:37The company.
01:07:39Everything.
01:07:48Signed.
01:07:50Now let her go.
01:07:52God, you are so nice, sis!
01:07:55Now what more do you want?
01:07:58Get down on your knees and show that you know your place.
01:08:04Get down on your knees and show that you know your place.
01:08:09Wait.
01:08:14That's better.
01:08:22Now bark like a dog.
01:08:28Come on.
01:08:32That's enough, Kristen.
01:08:39Let's get her out of here.
01:08:39We're getting out of here, Mom.
01:08:46Let's get her out of here.
01:08:48Come on.
01:08:49Let's go.
01:08:50Daniel!
01:08:54We can't.
01:08:56Mom, we need to finish this.
01:08:57Mom, we gotta go.
01:08:58Come on.
01:09:00Daniel!
01:09:06Jess.
01:09:08No, don't.
01:09:09Don't try and talk.
01:09:10The police.
01:09:10They're on their way.
01:09:12Jess.
01:09:13I'm so sorry.
01:09:14Why are you apologizing?
01:09:16Just don't move.
01:09:27The doctor said it was nothing serious, so...
01:09:30You'll be out of here soon.
01:09:32Jess, I just want to apologize.
01:09:34I'm so sorry.
01:09:36Daniel, what are you apologizing for?
01:09:39You saved my mom.
01:09:41You saved us.
01:09:44Hello again, Mr. Thornton.
01:09:46Officer, you're here.
01:09:48Yes.
01:09:49You promised me last week we'd get that interview done.
01:09:54Officer, my husband is injured.
01:09:57He's literally lying in bed.
01:09:59Well, that doesn't change the requirements.
01:10:02Jess, it's okay.
01:10:05We can do the interview.
01:10:09We can do the interview.
01:10:13Are you insane?
01:10:14We haven't rehearsed this.
01:10:17Jess, when you see, we've been rehearsing this whole Christmas.
01:10:22There's no better time to do this.
01:10:24You're right.
01:10:27We're ready, officer.
01:10:30Let's start with the question I asked you last week.
01:10:32When did you two first meet?
01:10:34Five years and four months ago.
01:10:36I don't understand.
01:10:38Last time you said it was six months ago, and the other one said it was eight months ago.
01:10:43We lied, officer.
01:10:45But it was five years ago.
01:10:48At a pool party.
01:10:49And we had our first kiss when we first met.
01:10:54It sounds pretty far-fetched.
01:10:57But for some reason, I want to give you two the benefit of the doubt.
01:11:12Daniel risked his life to save me and my mother.
01:11:15There's nothing more that he needs to do to prove his love for me.
01:11:18One last question.
01:11:20How frequently have you two spent the night together in the past week?
01:11:30Relax.
01:11:32I can tell it's been at least three times.
01:11:35Right, well that's my interview done.
01:11:37You two are quite the couple.
01:11:40Thank you, officer.
01:11:41Daniel!
01:11:44She's coming!
01:11:45Who's coming?
01:11:52Your fiancé.
01:11:54That's who.
01:11:59Your fiancé.
01:12:00That's who.
01:12:02Ashley.
01:12:03I guess I'm not done yet.
01:12:06You betrayed my family's trust, Daniel.
01:12:09Ashley.
01:12:10Please.
01:12:11Can't we talk about this?
01:12:13So you're Jessica Miller, hmm?
01:12:16Adrian's told me all about you.
01:12:18I don't know what Adrian told you, but it's not what you think.
01:12:24Daniel was supposed to marry me.
01:12:26And then you just waltzed in and ruined everything.
01:12:30Ashley.
01:12:31Our engagement was long over before Jessica came to the picture.
01:12:37Oh, I see.
01:12:39You think this is over.
01:12:43I'm the heiress of the Wimbledon family.
01:12:46The Thornton name is as good as ruined.
01:12:51You can't do that, Ashley.
01:12:57Watch me.
01:13:02You're not the only heiress here.
01:13:07I own Miller Empire.
01:13:11And if you come for the Thorntons,
01:13:14the Miller Empire is gonna come for you so hard.
01:13:19Hard.
01:13:23You've got guts, Jessica.
01:13:26I like you.
01:13:30I gotta tell ya, I didn't expect that.
01:13:33This is so much better than watching TV.
01:13:35Glad to see you've replaced me with someone with a little fire, Daniel.
01:13:43I always knew Daniel didn't love me, but he was too afraid of his father to ever go after his
01:13:51true love.
01:13:51But I guess I'm happy that he's found someone who wants the same things as him.
01:14:01So...
01:14:03That's it?
01:14:05That's it.
01:14:09Enjoy your happy ending, darling.
01:14:14Yes.
01:14:15Andrea?
01:14:16Bring the car around.
01:14:20Did that actually just happen?
01:14:22Yeah.
01:14:24Wow.
01:14:25You two really don't let anyone or anything get in the way of true love.
01:14:30Didn't see that come.
01:14:34This is all your fault, Mom.
01:14:36If you wouldn't have been so reckless, then maybe we wouldn't be in this mess.
01:14:38Don't put all the blame on me.
01:14:40You're just as much a part of this as I am.
01:14:42Where is Adrian?
01:14:43You should be here by now.
01:14:46Miss me?
01:14:47Where have you been?
01:14:48Just tying up a few loose ends.
01:14:50Don't worry about it.
01:14:52Everything's going according to plan.
01:14:54Plan?
01:14:55What plan?
01:14:56Everything's falling apart.
01:15:07What did you do, Adrian?
01:15:10Well, me, myself, I done nothing illegal.
01:15:13You two, on the other hand, that's a different story.
01:15:16You set us up!
01:15:18I'm just ensuring my own safety.
01:15:21After all, I kept my hands clean.
01:15:29You're not going to get away with this asshole!
01:15:32I already have.
01:15:33Look!
01:15:40I remember when this place was filled with warmth and laughter.
01:15:44Used to be a real family home back then, but...
01:15:47Then things just went south.
01:15:49Things will be fine again, Mom, I promise.
01:15:52We'll turn this into a good family house.
01:15:55No more hatred.
01:15:57No more backstabbing.
01:15:58I missed you every single day, Jess.
01:16:01I'm so sorry for everything both of us had to go through.
01:16:08Jessica?
01:16:09What?
01:16:11I am so sorry for everything that I've done to you both.
01:16:16I was wrong.
01:16:17And I know I can never fully make up for it.
01:16:21But I want to try.
01:16:22James, you kept us apart for so many years.
01:16:25It's going to be hard to forgive and forget.
01:16:27I know Clara.
01:16:32Jess, are you alright?
01:16:36Yeah, no, I'm...
01:16:37I'm fine.
01:16:39You know, I just feel...
01:16:42so nauseous, that's all.
01:16:44Have you been getting any other symptoms, like...
01:16:47dizziness or fatigue?
01:16:50I don't think, yeah, but I just thought that was...
01:16:52from all the stress.
01:16:53Oh.
01:16:56Sweetheart.
01:16:58You're pregnant.
01:16:59Really?
01:17:00You're showing all the signs, Jess.
01:17:05We're gonna have a baby!
01:17:07Wait.
01:17:08That means I'm gonna be a grandpa!
01:17:12Yeah!
01:17:13Oh!
01:17:14Oh, oh, oh, oh.
01:17:17Oh, oh, oh.
01:17:18Oh, oh, oh, oh.
01:17:20Daniel.
01:17:23There's something you need to do.
01:17:27What's this?
01:17:29This is a ring your grandma left.
01:17:32And I think this is the perfect time to use it.
01:17:36Go, go.
01:17:38We're gonna do this?
01:17:38Yeah.
01:17:39Go.
01:17:41Oh.
01:17:49Jess.
01:17:50Jess!
01:17:54Jess, I know we've only ever spent time together a week during Christmas.
01:17:58And we've been through so much in that time.
01:18:01And over the past five years, all I've wanted to do is be with you.
01:18:05And I've had to endure the pain of that not being possible.
01:18:08I want to spend every waking moment in time with you.
01:18:12What I'm trying to say is, Jess,
01:18:18Will you marry me?
01:18:21For real this time?
01:18:23Okay.
01:18:24Yes, Daniel.
01:18:25Yes, I will marry you.
01:18:27Yes!
01:18:27Really?
01:18:28Yes!
