00:00:00♪
00:00:04Cheers. May it be full of surprises.
00:00:06Ho, 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,
00:00:15and assets worth over a billion dollars.
00:00:18I just need a signature from you.
00:00:20Oh, and $105 million in cash.
00:00:23Oh.
00:00:24Oh!
00:00:27We're rich!
00:00:28Let me hold on to you a bit 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's real great to win the jackpot.
00:00:45Now my only wish is to just reunite with my mother.
00:00:49You bastard child.
00:00:51You will never reunite with your mother.
00:00:53We made sure that that whore is gone forever.
00:00:57My 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.
00:01:10Yes, ma'am. USCIS.
00:01:12Your visa expired years ago. You'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. Well, I guess I screwed up.
00:01:23What?
00:01:26Hey, baby. Hey.
00:01:28Adrian, are you cheating on me with her?
00:01:31Choose the right side, babe. You'll never win against them.
00:01:34It's true.
00:01:36According to the terms of the will,
00:01:38non-citizens are not eligible to inherit the estate.
00:01:42Everything will pass through your next of kin,
00:01:44Lisa Ann Kristen Miller.
00:01:47You thought you could get rich overnight?
00:01:50Keep dreaming.
00:01:52Seriously?
00:01:53Bon voyage, half-sis.
00:02:02The boss is urgent.
00:02:03They're about to deport a woman named Jessica Miller.
00:02:07Jessica Miller?
00:02:09It's her.
00:02:18Oh, thank God you're alive.
00:02:20She's so beautiful and kind.
00:02:21She's the girl I've always dreamed of.
00:02:24She saved my life once. I owe her.
00:02:30Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
00:02:32Jessica?
00:02:34Do I know you?
00:02:35She doesn't remember me.
00:02:42I'm Daniel. You're a lawyer.
00:02:44Just pretend we know each other.
00:02:45If I can get you out of here.
00:02:47We've spoken to the judge,
00:02:48and Ms. Miller should be released immediately.
00:02:51We can't deport her.
00:02:53She is about to marry a U.S. citizen.
00:02:57Who's the lucky guy?
00:02:59I am. I'm marrying her.
00:03:07A fake marriage won't save her.
00:03:08Our marriage is real.
00:03:10Yeah, 100% real.
00:03:12Prove it, then.
00:03:15That's it? You call that a kiss?
00:03:27Need more proof, officer?
00:03:29Look, this guy is a lawyer
00:03:31to some of the most important families in town.
00:03:34And if you don't let her go,
00:03:36they'll make sure you lose your job.
00:03:38I don't want to lose my job.
00:03:40I don't want to lose my job.
00:03:42If you don't let her go,
00:03:43they'll make sure you lose your damn job.
00:03:45Fine, you can have her.
00:03:47Thank you, officer.
00:03:52Guys, I think we're good.
00:03:55It's not over.
00:03:59We'll be checking your marital status
00:04:01and conducting interviews.
00:04:03And there are a few very specific requirements
00:04:05you should know.
00:04:06Make sure you two are staying in the same house
00:04:08and sleeping in the same bed.
00:04:10Or it's game over.
00:04:14Well...
00:04:17Thank you...
00:04:19for the rescue.
00:04:21Oh, it's no problem.
00:04:23But, um...
00:04:25Daniel...
00:04:27Would you...
00:04:29Would you marry me?
00:04:31Oh, Jessica.
00:04:32I've waited for this moment for five years.
00:04:34I mean, it would only be a contract marriage.
00:04:37But once I get my green card,
00:04:39I'll inherit my father's business empire
00:04:42and I'll share half of it with you.
00:04:45Even your misunderstanding looks so cute.
00:04:47I only want you, Jessica.
00:04:49But before I get my green card,
00:04:52you're gonna have to help me deal
00:04:54with my stepsister and her mom.
00:04:56They're trying to get rid of me.
00:04:58And they've already stolen my fortune.
00:05:01And they made my mother disappear.
00:05:05Deal.
00:05:07What?
00:05:09That's it?
00:05:12This lily stands for loyalties and new beginnings.
00:05:16Something that I want with you.
00:05:18Now, I know it's rushed.
00:05:21But I promise you,
00:05:23I will buy you a proper ring soon.
00:05:26I love you.
00:05:34From now on,
00:05:36let's make every Christmas our own.
00:05:38Filled with memories.
00:05:52You can't do this!
00:05:54Jess, it's okay.
00:05:55Just wait here. I'll handle it.
00:06:02What?
00:06:03Why are you helping that girl?
00:06:05Kristen Miller is our ally
00:06:07and she wants her the hell out of this picture.
00:06:09It's too late, Dad.
00:06:11We already got married.
00:06:12Are you insane?
00:06:14Did you forget you're supposed to marry Ashley?
00:06:19Daniel Thornton.
00:06:22My mother is gone because of you?
00:06:24Well, we had a little help from James Thornton.
00:06:27The most powerful man in the Thornton family.
00:06:31Wait.
00:06:32I recognize that face.
00:06:34From the newspaper, that was James Thornton.
00:06:37From the Thornton family.
00:06:38The family responsible for my mother's disappearance.
00:06:45Stop telling me what I can and cannot do.
00:06:47She saved my life.
00:06:48I owe it to her.
00:06:49Roll the hell up, Daniel.
00:06:51Daniel, you need to remember your position
00:06:53as the heir to our family.
00:06:55And you need to divorce that girl.
00:06:57Now.
00:06:58I'm doing this to clean your mess up.
00:07:01Just leave us alone.
00:07:10Sorry about that.
00:07:11Is your name
00:07:13Daniel Thornton?
00:07:16Yeah.
00:07:17The Thornton family are responsible
00:07:20for the disappearance of my mother.
00:07:22I have been searching for her
00:07:24my entire life.
00:07:26Jess.
00:07:27Yeah.
00:07:28I can explain.
00:07:29I'm not married to Thornton.
00:07:30Wait, wait, wait.
00:07:31Jess, Jess.
00:07:32I'm not who you think I am.
00:07:34I have nothing to do with that family.
00:07:35Oh, really?
00:07:36Because your name is right here
00:07:37on the marriage certificate.
00:07:40I share the last name as Thornton.
00:07:42But I am not one of them.
00:07:44Thornton is a common name.
00:07:45Just an ordinary guy.
00:07:46Really?
00:07:47Well, I don't believe you.
00:07:48I saw you talking
00:07:49to James Thornton.
00:07:51Is he your father?
00:07:55Is he your father?
00:07:56No, he's not my father.
00:07:57He was threatening
00:07:58to drive you out of the country
00:07:59and I was not gonna have
00:08:00anything to do with it.
00:08:01Jess.
00:08:02I'm on your side.
00:08:04You're not
00:08:05one of them.
00:08:07I'm sorry.
00:08:10It's okay.
00:08:11Don't worry about it.
00:08:16Well, you have
00:08:17a nice apartment.
00:08:19Welcome.
00:08:22Is that your Labrador?
00:08:23It looks exactly like mine.
00:08:25I got mine as a Christmas present
00:08:26when I was nine.
00:08:27No way.
00:08:28I got mine as a Christmas present
00:08:29when I was nine.
00:08:30That's crazy.
00:08:36Jess, we're gonna have to sleep
00:08:37in the same room together
00:08:38just in case immigration
00:08:39ambush us.
00:08:40Yeah, but
00:08:41are you sure you're okay
00:08:42sleeping on the carpet?
00:08:43I mean,
00:08:44you've done so much
00:08:45for me already and I just...
00:08:46Jess, please.
00:08:47I insist.
00:08:48We made a deal, remember?
00:08:50I also want to thank you
00:08:53for giving me the chance
00:08:54to get rich.
00:08:56It's okay, Daniel.
00:09:15Jess.
00:09:18She's buying on us.
00:09:21No.
00:09:22No, no, no, no.
00:09:23I was...
00:09:24I was just passing by
00:09:26and just...
00:09:27Do you need anything?
00:09:29I was joking.
00:09:30Uh, yeah.
00:09:31Could you, uh,
00:09:32pass me the towel?
00:09:34It's just...
00:09:35It's just...
00:09:36It's just...
00:09:37It's just...
00:09:38It's just...
00:09:39It's just...
00:09:40It's just...
00:09:41It's just...
00:09:42It's just...
00:09:43It's just...
00:09:44Could you pass me the towel?
00:09:45It's just
00:09:46hanging up next to the door.
00:09:47Uh, yeah, sure, sure.
00:09:52Thanks.
00:10:03Oh my god!
00:10:04What?
00:10:05I just got fired!
00:10:06What?
00:10:09Uh, wait, Jess,
00:10:10let me go with you.
00:10:12What?
00:10:14Sam, please, don't fire me.
00:10:27I'm sorry, Jess, but your immigration issue put us in a tough spot.
00:10:33I worked for this company for years.
00:10:36I'm sorry, Jess.
00:10:38There's nothing I can do.
00:10:41I'm sorry.
00:10:47Look who's here.
00:10:48Someone who just got fired.
00:10:52This suits you.
00:10:56It was you.
00:10:58I should have known you were behind this.
00:11:00I'm not going to let you stay here and ruin things.
00:11:02I'm going to take away everything you have.
00:11:04I have a sister.
00:11:09You just made a big mistake, sir.
00:11:11Who are you?
00:11:12My name is Daniel Thornton, son of James Thornton, the chairman of Thornton Enterprise.
00:11:19Oh, Mr. Thornton, welcome.
00:11:24What brings you here?
00:11:27Well, I have some good news for you.
00:11:30Jessica Miller, she's just closed a billion dollar deal.
00:11:35Take a look.
00:11:47Oh, my God.
00:11:52It's real.
00:11:54Absolutely.
00:11:55With her hard work and dedication, she's made this possible.
00:11:59It's a real shame you're going to lose such a valuable employee.
00:12:03Oh, Mr. Thornton, I have made a huge mistake.
00:12:09Jessica will stay.
00:12:13Good.
00:12:15And make sure nobody knows we had this conversation.
00:12:23Jessica, you should have told me.
00:12:29What are you talking about, Sam?
00:12:31Jessica, you secured a huge deal for the company.
00:12:37Did you not just fire her?
00:12:39I changed my mind.
00:12:41Jessica's staying.
00:12:43Actually, she's being promoted to sales manager.
00:12:48Can't afford to lose someone as valuable as like her.
00:12:51Great.
00:12:52Thanks, Sam.
00:12:54This is not over.
00:13:00I can't believe it.
00:13:01Jessica kept her job and she gets promoted.
00:13:04Don't worry, Lisa.
00:13:06I just spoke with James Thornton and he had the lawyer change the will in our favor.
00:13:11Jessica will get nothing.
00:13:13Oh, my God.
00:13:15That's fantastic.
00:13:28No way.
00:13:35Jessica, how's work?
00:13:37Did you get your job back?
00:13:39Daniel, I need a lawyer.
00:13:48Well, look who decided to show up.
00:13:51Too bad for you, Jess.
00:13:53Turns out daddy's will left you nothing.
00:13:56I knew all along Robert wouldn't leave anything for this little pathetic bastard child.
00:14:03You are out of luck.
00:14:05Well, that's a lie.
00:14:06You showed me the will.
00:14:08And I signed the documents.
00:14:11I'm sorry, Jessica.
00:14:12I've just discovered a revised will that supports Kristen and Lisa's claims.
00:14:20Mr. Thornton.
00:14:21Who is this?
00:14:22He's my lawyer.
00:14:23And a damn good one.
00:14:25Oh.
00:14:26You know, Jess, I didn't realize you had enough money to pay for a fancy little lawyer.
00:14:31You sleep with him?
00:14:33Patrick, can I have a word with you outside?
00:14:37Talk all you want.
00:14:38It won't change anything.
00:14:47All right, Patrick.
00:14:49I'm going to keep this short and sweet.
00:14:51I know you changed the will to favor Kristen and Lisa.
00:14:54I know what you're talking about, Mr. Thornton.
00:14:56The revised will's solid.
00:14:58Ted found an email exchange with my father.
00:15:01Here, take a look.
00:15:03You've been caught, Patrick.
00:15:05In honor of the will, I'll report you to the Bar Association.
00:15:08You'll lose your license and any chance of practicing law or gain.
00:15:11That goes against your father's wishes.
00:15:13You don't understand the position you put me in.
00:15:15I'll deal with my father.
00:15:16Don't you worry about that.
00:15:19You just worry about doing the right thing.
00:15:26Um, this revised will's a fake.
00:15:29The original will's stamped.
00:15:30What the hell are you doing?
00:15:32I'm doing the right thing.
00:15:36Jessica, you've got your inheritance back.
00:15:39Congratulations.
00:15:41Oh, my God.
00:15:44Patrick, do what you are supposed to do
00:15:47or James will make sure you face the consequences.
00:15:52Don't listen to her, Patrick.
00:15:54I'll deal with James Thornton.
00:15:55Who the hell do you think you are?
00:15:58James Thornton is one of the most powerful men in this town.
00:16:02I sure can.
00:16:03Isn't that right, Patrick?
00:16:05Yes.
00:16:06The original will stands.
00:16:08No, you are crazy.
00:16:09No, I'm not.
00:16:11According to the original will, Jessica stands to inherit this mansion.
00:16:15Kristen, you're out.
00:16:17I think you two should leave.
00:16:19You homewrecker, just like your mother.
00:16:23I will not allow violence.
00:16:26I didn't come here to argue over a house and assets.
00:16:31I came here to be recognized as an actual member of this family.
00:16:35It was easy for you to say you're getting everything.
00:16:37You don't know how lucky you are, Lisa.
00:16:39You grew up with a father who loved you.
00:16:42I had none.
00:16:43And you took my mother away from me
00:16:46and I still don't know where she is.
00:16:49You two don't deserve this mansion.
00:16:52And I would rather give it away to charity
00:16:55than see the two of you living it.
00:17:03You two should pack your things up.
00:17:05You have one week to leave this house.
00:17:15What the hell were you thinking?
00:17:17Sabotaging my plan?
00:17:19I was just doing the right thing.
00:17:21The right thing?
00:17:22Going against me?
00:17:24Kristen Miller has got no power anymore.
00:17:27Her game is over.
00:17:28I'm sure you didn't come all this way just to argue with me.
00:17:32So what do you want?
00:17:34I just want Jessica to get her mom back.
00:17:38Interesting.
00:17:42What's in it for me?
00:17:44Once Jessica gets her mom back,
00:17:47I'll do whatever you want.
00:17:48Whatever I want?
00:17:50Like what exactly?
00:17:52I'll marry Ashley.
00:17:55You'll marry Ashley?
00:17:57Yeah.
00:17:58You're willing to do that?
00:18:00Yeah, I am.
00:18:03But only if she's reunited with her mother.
00:18:07Okay, deal.
00:18:10I'll make the arrangements.
00:18:12So you're really in love with this one, huh?
00:18:14Yeah, I am.
00:18:17Okay, good.
00:18:19I sure hope she's worth it.
00:18:22She is.
00:18:27What's wrong?
00:18:28We have...
00:18:30a guest.
00:18:32Mr. Thornton.
00:18:34Good to see you again.
00:18:36Interview time.
00:18:37Great.
00:18:41When did you two meet?
00:18:43We met at a friend's party two years ago.
00:18:46What do you say, Jessica?
00:18:49Oh, yeah, yeah.
00:18:51Interesting.
00:18:53And when did you decide to get married?
00:18:56Eight months ago.
00:18:58Six months or eight months, which one is it?
00:19:00Yeah, eight months ago.
00:19:02Sorry, I just...
00:19:03Sorry, I'm always getting mixed up.
00:19:05Sure.
00:19:07Easy mistake to make.
00:19:09And what's your anniversary date?
00:19:11March 15th.
00:19:13March 15th?
00:19:15All right.
00:19:22That's it?
00:19:23Yes, Mr. Thornton.
00:19:24I have everything I need.
00:19:26I'll report back to the judges.
00:19:30Oh, wait.
00:19:32This.
00:19:35How did we do in there?
00:19:39It was...
00:19:40pretty bad.
00:19:42Look.
00:19:45I'm the son of James Thornton.
00:19:47I know who you are.
00:19:49Okay.
00:19:53You want a bribing?
00:19:55Yes.
00:19:56I can't be bribed.
00:19:58Here's one million dollars.
00:20:04Two million dollars.
00:20:06Right.
00:20:11Three million dollars.
00:20:13It's tempting, but like I said, you can't bribe me.
00:20:16Please.
00:20:18Can you just give us one more week to prepare?
00:20:20I really want to be with this woman.
00:20:22She means the world to me.
00:20:24She saved my life.
00:20:26I'm not going to take your money, but I'll give you one week.
00:20:28Make it count.
00:20:32Next time, I want to see some genuine affection between you two.
00:20:34Yeah.
00:20:35If anything seems a bit off, your game's up.
00:20:37Of course.
00:20:39And one more thing.
00:20:41I can tell you two haven't had sex yet.
00:20:44I'm that good, Mr. Daniel.
00:20:47Don't try and fool me.
00:20:53She gave us another chance.
00:20:55Oh, my God.
00:20:56We have one week to get our story straight.
00:20:59Thank you, Daniel.
00:21:01You've been very, very helpful today.
00:21:21Now, I wanted to make our first Christmas special.
00:21:24So, I did a little digging, and I found this.
00:21:28This tree is amazing.
00:21:35What happened?
00:21:38Let me have a look.
00:21:40Um...
00:21:42Um...
00:22:05Um...
00:22:07I have a festive gift for you two.
00:22:19Wow.
00:22:21Jess, you look gorgeous.
00:22:29And then I told him that's not how you negotiate.
00:22:32He did it!
00:22:34He did.
00:22:37He did.
00:23:08Wow.
00:23:15This could be wrong.
00:23:17Maybe.
00:23:19Maybe not.
00:23:22Um...
00:23:36So, that is how you negotiate.
00:23:41You're not like that.
00:23:52I'm stuck.
00:23:58Hold on. I've got this.
00:24:22Um...
00:24:35Um...
00:24:51Um...
00:24:57Well, it actually looks familiar.
00:25:01You know, I've seen this before.
00:25:03In the magazine.
00:25:05It looks like one of those, um...
00:25:09Thornton family watches.
00:25:13Is it real?
00:25:14Uh...
00:25:16No, it's fake.
00:25:19You...
00:25:21You wear a fake watch?
00:25:23Yeah.
00:25:34I'm so happy, Jess.
00:25:40There's also something I need to tell you about your mom.
00:25:48Yes.
00:25:59Oh, my God.
00:26:01Did I just sleep with Daniel last night?
00:26:03I told him it would only be a contract marriage.
00:26:15Morning.
00:26:16This is the most beautiful morning that I've ever had.
00:26:19Daniel, I'm...
00:26:21I'm so sorry about last night.
00:26:24It was...
00:26:25It wasn't supposed to happen, and I promise it will never happen again.
00:26:31She didn't mean it.
00:26:33Oh, Jessica. Last night was amazing.
00:26:36Uh...
00:26:39Yeah, Jess, uh...
00:26:41I get it. It was, uh...
00:26:44It was a one-time thing.
00:26:46Yeah, just like...
00:26:48Just a one-time thing.
00:26:50Yeah.
00:26:52Anyway, it's, uh...
00:26:54Your big day today.
00:26:56You'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.
00:27:08Oh, no, Jess, I didn't mean it like that.
00:27:12What I was meant to say is...
00:27:16I'm gonna help you.
00:27:22I don't know what to do, Mother. That bitch is kicking us out.
00:27:25We still have a chance.
00:27:27That 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. Everyone 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.
00:27:56These clothes are beautiful.
00:28:00But, uh...
00:28:02Very expensive.
00:28:04Like this one. That is...
00:28:07$9,000.
00:28:09Jess, don't worry about it.
00:28:11It's on me.
00:28:13Look at it as, uh...
00:28:15My first gift to my wife.
00:28:17Daniel, I can't let you pay for this.
00:28:19Look, Jess, you're gonna be a CEO.
00:28:22Which means you've gotta look the part.
00:28:24Trust me. It's an investment.
00:28:28Mr. Thornton, welcome back. How can I assist you today?
00:28:31You come here a lot?
00:28:33Uh, no.
00:28:34Well, of course, Mr. Thornton owns this store.
00:28:37Uh, Jess, why don't you try this one on?
00:28:41You'll look great in it.
00:28:46Wow, Jess, you look amazing.
00:28:50You think so?
00:28:52Yeah.
00:28:54This is exactly what a CEO would wear.
00:28:56Absolutely. Great choice.
00:28:58We'll take this one.
00:29:01Something on your mind?
00:29:03Well, it's probably nothing, but it's just...
00:29:06That clerk seemed very fond of you.
00:29:08Oh, um...
00:29:10Being friendly is a part of my job.
00:29:13Okay.
00:29:20So that's how you got your lawyer, huh?
00:29:24Now that you mention it,
00:29:26maybe she was a little friendly.
00:29:28But we got a discount.
00:29:31Show on.
00:29:40What a slut.
00:29:45Trust me, Jess. You can do this.
00:29:47Yeah, but what if they don't accept me?
00:29:49They will. Trust me.
00:29:51Just speak from the heart and show your true self.
00:29:55Look at you two little lovebirds.
00:29:59Pathetic.
00:30:03Ted, we're gonna talk about this later.
00:30:05Okay.
00:30:07You go in.
00:30:09I'll meet you in there soon, okay?
00:30:16Good luck in there, sis.
00:30:19You're gonna need it.
00:30:21You don't have the votes.
00:30:24I know my background doesn't seem very typical of a CEO,
00:30:28but I built myself from the bottom up here.
00:30:31Miller Corporation is a leader in tech and services,
00:30:37reaching industries from healthcare to energy.
00:30:40We have over 10,000 employees worldwide
00:30:45who have worked hard to build this company from the ground up,
00:30:48and I was one of them.
00:30:50I know them.
00:30:51And I believe that I can help lead this company
00:30:54to become everyone's company.
00:30:57Let's proceed to the vote.
00:30:59All in favor?
00:31:04Robert lost his damn mind.
00:31:06He picked his secret child to be the CEO
00:31:09only because of his guilty conscience.
00:31:11Richard, if I may...
00:31:13I'm not done talking.
00:31:15You can't lead us.
00:31:17Richard, if I may speak...
00:31:19Go ahead.
00:31:21But I won't change my mind.
00:31:26Sorry for interrupting everyone,
00:31:28but I have something important to share with you all today.
00:31:30Who the hell are you?
00:31:32Well, Richard, I'm the person who's going to expose you.
00:31:35What did you just say?
00:31:37How do I say this?
00:31:39Uh, you're a sex pervert.
00:31:42How do I say this?
00:31:44Uh, you're a sex pervert.
00:31:47What?
00:31:50You see, everyone,
00:31:52this file contains multiple sexual harassment lawsuits
00:31:57against Richard over the past 30 years.
00:32:01Some of them also have ongoing lawsuits.
00:32:04They're all just allegations, and they've all been settled.
00:32:07I'm innocent.
00:32:08We've also got in contact with some of the victims,
00:32:10and they're willing to come forward and testify.
00:32:12Actually...
00:32:13I have not finished yet.
00:32:15You're also stealing money from the company,
00:32:17and we have the financial records to prove it.
00:32:25The evidence is clear.
00:32:27He's guilty.
00:32:29Okay, then.
00:32:31Let's all vote for Richard Donald's immediate suspension.
00:32:34All in favor?
00:32:40We have 15 votes.
00:32:42The board has decided.
00:32:44Richard Donald is officially removed from his position.
00:32:47Security, escort him out immediately.
00:32:50I know my way.
00:32:56And all in favor of appointing Jessica Miller as the new CEO.
00:33:17I'm sorry I was late.
00:33:18I had to make sure I had enough evidence to nail him.
00:33:20No, don't be sorry, Daniel.
00:33:22That was so worth the wait.
00:33:24Good.
00:33:26This is not over.
00:33:28You'll see.
00:33:29How's packing going, Lisa?
00:33:31You're about to be evicted soon.
00:33:33Bye-bye.
00:33:36She won again, that bitch.
00:33:38I know, it's so unfair.
00:33:40Do we have a guest?
00:33:42Lisa, honey.
00:33:44I've been trying to reach you.
00:33:46Why haven't you returned my calls?
00:33:48I've been busy.
00:33:49Busy.
00:33:50Dealing with Jessica.
00:33:52How did you know?
00:33:53Oh, I know.
00:33:54And I think I know how to help you take it down.
00:33:57Again.
00:33:58No use to me anymore, Adrian.
00:34:00I only needed you to help me get rid of Jessica.
00:34:06To the new CEO of the Miller Empire.
00:34:11Well, I couldn't have done it without you, Daniel.
00:34:13I also have another Christmas surprise for you.
00:34:18Who are you calling?
00:34:22Is it?
00:34:23Yes, Jess.
00:34:24It's your mother, Clara.
00:34:26Oh, my God, Mom.
00:34:28Oh, Jessica, you're a grown woman now.
00:34:31The Miller family threatened to kill you, Jess.
00:34:34I had no option but to vanish.
00:34:38Mom, it's okay.
00:34:40You didn't do anything wrong.
00:34:41I'll bring you back into the country, I promise.
00:34:45Daniel, how did you find her?
00:34:47I have a few powerful friends.
00:34:49They did me a favor.
00:34:51But I'll leave you two alone.
00:34:53Daniel.
00:35:04Two more, please.
00:35:07Daniel.
00:35:10Adrian.
00:35:11Long time no see, buddy.
00:35:13Oh, my God.
00:35:14How long has it been?
00:35:16Ten years.
00:35:17Ten years.
00:35:18Oh, my God.
00:35:19The last time I must have seen you was at law school.
00:35:23Yep.
00:35:24Go Reds.
00:35:26Go Reds.
00:35:28What are you doing here?
00:35:30Just in town to run some errands.
00:35:32Just thought I'd come here for a quick bite.
00:35:34Nice, man, nice.
00:35:36I saw your date earlier.
00:35:37She looks pretty.
00:35:39Yeah, my wife.
00:35:41Your wife?
00:35:42Yeah, Jess.
00:35:43You're married?
00:35:44Yes.
00:35:45Yeah, you have to introduce me to her.
00:35:46Come on, let's go say hi.
00:35:48Come and say hello.
00:35:49It's good to see you, buddy.
00:35:50Good to see you too, man.
00:35:52Jess, I wanted you to meet an old friend of mine.
00:35:55Adrian, this is Jess.
00:35:56Jess, this is Adrian.
00:35:57We went to law school together.
00:36:04I don't want to see him.
00:36:09I don't want to see him.
00:36:13You two know each other?
00:36:14Yes, Daniel.
00:36:16I was her first boyfriend.
00:36:21Come on, Jess.
00:36:22Don't you miss me?
00:36:24I don't want to see you anymore.
00:36:26You know you're still in love with me, Jess.
00:36:29No, I don't.
00:36:33I think you should leave, Adrian.
00:36:36Okay, Daniel, relax.
00:36:38Now.
00:36:44I'm leaving.
00:36:48But she knows she's lying.
00:36:51She's lying.
00:36:54Boss, Adrian Wesley now represents the Eastside Christian Method.
00:36:58They want to test the will.
00:37:00I should have known.
00:37:01What else?
00:37:03Adrian also knew Snape, Jessica.
00:37:05Actually, he's the one who sabotaged Jessica's immigration paperwork.
00:37:10It caused all this trouble.
00:37:15That son of a bitch.
00:37:17We need to win this war.
00:37:19Do whatever it takes.
00:37:22Daniel.
00:37:28Daniel.
00:37:30Sorry, did I wake you?
00:37:32No, can you join me in bed, please?
00:37:40Are you sure?
00:37:46I just, I wanted to apologize for earlier.
00:37:50The restaurant.
00:37:54I got a bit carried away.
00:37:56Jess, you don't need to apologize.
00:37:59Adrian's an asshole.
00:38:00He's just trying to do it to get under your skin.
00:38:03I did care for Adrian once, but he just destroyed everything we had.
00:38:10I want you to know that I'm here because of you.
00:38:16And you're the only one who I love.
00:38:21No one else.
00:38:34I love you too, Jess.
00:38:36And I'm not going anywhere.
00:38:46Good morning, husband.
00:38:48Morning, wife.
00:38:51Are you ready for your big day as the new CEO?
00:38:54If only you were with me.
00:38:55You're going to do great today.
00:39:26No, no, no.
00:39:29Jess, here's your coffee.
00:39:35What's wrong?
00:39:36Oh, it's just, it's this job. It's all so new to me.
00:39:40Okay, calm down. Remember, you're the CEO, which means you're the boss.
00:39:46Yeah, but I don't know how to be a boss.
00:39:50Hey, Jess.
00:39:51Hey, Jess.
00:39:53Look at you sitting in the big chair now.
00:39:56Oh, Giovanna, I am so happy you're here.
00:40:00Aww.
00:40:02You must be Daniel.
00:40:04Jessica's been talking about you for days.
00:40:08I'm flattered.
00:40:10I really wish you could be here with me, G. It's exhausting.
00:40:13Oh, at least you have a job, Jess.
00:40:15I've been looking for work for the past two months.
00:40:19Jess?
00:40:21Do you like Gianna being here?
00:40:25Of course.
00:40:27We've been besties since forever.
00:40:30Yeah, what kind of question is that?
00:40:32Well, why don't you use your CEO power and hire Gianna?
00:40:38Oh, I don't, I know what you mean.
00:40:41I don't understand.
00:40:43How would you like to come work for me?
00:40:49Of course.
00:40:51Okay then.
00:40:53My first order as a CEO.
00:40:56Gianna, you are hired as my personal assistant.
00:41:02Oh my god, Jess, thank you so much.
00:41:05See? Being a boss is easy.
00:41:08You can do whatever you want.
00:41:16Oh my god.
00:41:18What's wrong?
00:41:19The company's stock prices are dropping like crazy. What is happening?
00:41:25This isn't normal.
00:41:27Stocks are getting dumped.
00:41:29Well, well, well.
00:41:31Looks like things aren't going so well.
00:41:34What did you do, Lisa?
00:41:36I asked Richard and some of the other investors to sell their stocks.
00:41:40The board members are not going to be happy about the stock prices, Jessica.
00:41:44What do you want?
00:41:45Resign as CEO or I will destroy this company.
00:41:50No way.
00:41:52Okay.
00:41:54Then I will destroy this company.
00:41:56Jessica, the board members are asking to meet with you. They're angry.
00:42:05What are you going to do, Jess?
00:42:07Okay, I'll meet with the board.
00:42:09Wait, Jess.
00:42:11Don't go. Take a seat.
00:42:13Take a seat.
00:42:15What is it?
00:42:17Lisa, are you sure the stock prices are going down?
00:42:21Because to me, they seem to be going up and up.
00:42:25That's impossible. You would need at least a billion dollars.
00:42:29I guess anything's possible these days.
00:42:32God damn it!
00:42:34God, she's annoying.
00:42:40You must be my lucky star.
00:42:43God damn it.
00:42:49Daniel.
00:42:52Gianna.
00:42:54I know who you are, Daniel.
00:42:56You're the son of James Thornton.
00:42:58How did you find out?
00:43:00My identity is meant to be a secret.
00:43:02I used to work for your father.
00:43:04Please don't tell Jess.
00:43:06I'll pay you. How much do you want?
00:43:08I don't want your money.
00:43:10I care for my friend.
00:43:11You hired me because I tried to help Jessica.
00:43:13I'm sorry, Gianna.
00:43:15It's okay.
00:43:17I just want to know why.
00:43:19She hates my family.
00:43:21I have to lie to her.
00:43:23She hates your family, but she loves you.
00:43:27I can see that.
00:43:29You really think so?
00:43:31Yes.
00:43:33I love her, too.
00:43:35She's the best thing that's ever happened to me.
00:43:39That's good to hear.
00:43:41Please protect her.
00:43:50Daniel.
00:43:52It's my mom.
00:43:54Adrian threatened her.
00:44:00Adrian threatened my mom on the phone.
00:44:02He said he was going to block her from entering the country.
00:44:05What should we do?
00:44:08Jess, I don't want you to worry about it.
00:44:11I'm going to make sure your mom gets here safely.
00:44:28Ted.
00:44:30I need you to make sure Jessica's mom gets here safely.
00:44:33Book her on the first flight out tomorrow.
00:44:35Got it, boss.
00:44:37She'll be here in town the day after tomorrow.
00:44:39Good.
00:44:41Good.
00:44:46Jess has been taken care of.
00:44:48Your mom's going to be here the day after tomorrow.
00:44:51Thank you, Daniel.
00:44:54But I'm...
00:44:56I'm still scared.
00:44:58I just... I need a day off.
00:45:00I love the sound of that.
00:45:02What did you have in mind?
00:45:04I was thinking...
00:45:08I want to buy a house.
00:45:12So...
00:45:15Do you like this place?
00:45:17It's amazing.
00:45:19But...
00:45:20Jess, I appreciate the gesture.
00:45:22But you don't need to buy me a house.
00:45:25No.
00:45:26No.
00:45:27I insist.
00:45:29You've done so much...
00:45:31to help me.
00:45:32Besides, we can live together...
00:45:34here.
00:45:36I can't.
00:45:38I can't.
00:45:39We can live together...
00:45:40here.
00:45:41Mr. Thornton.
00:45:42Hi.
00:45:43Your father is here.
00:45:45Are you meeting him here?
00:45:50Well...
00:45:52I've never met your parents.
00:45:54So...
00:45:56I'm pretty excited to meet an in-law.
00:45:59Oh, is...
00:46:01Is that him?
00:46:03Come on, let's go say hi.
00:46:05Jess, wait.
00:46:06Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
00:46:07Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
00:46:08Um...
00:46:11I might not have told my dad about you and our marriage.
00:46:14Why?
00:46:15Uh...
00:46:17Because he has a heart condition.
00:46:20I think it's best you stay here.
00:46:23Okay.
00:46:25I'll just...
00:46:27stay here then.
00:46:29Good.
00:46:34Dad?
00:46:36God damn.
00:46:37What the hell?
00:46:38Jessica's here.
00:46:39She can't see her face.
00:46:40Don't take them off.
00:46:43I want to talk to you about Ashley, Daniel.
00:46:49Why hasn't Daniel told his father about me and our wedding?
00:46:53Ashley, really?
00:46:54Not today.
00:46:57And...
00:46:58what is this shirt you're wearing?
00:47:00Your mother insisted I wear it...
00:47:02in this charity event in New York.
00:47:05Right.
00:47:06Said it makes me look more grounded...
00:47:10and approachable.
00:47:13And don't go changing our subject.
00:47:15I want to discuss our agreement.
00:47:17I give you Clara...
00:47:19and you marry Ashley.
00:47:25Why does he look so...
00:47:27nervous?
00:47:28Am I not good enough?
00:47:30Do we have to talk about this right now?
00:47:32I held up my end of the bargain, Daniel.
00:47:35I want this deal done now.
00:47:37Actually, Clara isn't safe yet.
00:47:40Lisa Miller might try to be sabotaging everything.
00:47:43This is why you don't mess with the Miller family.
00:47:46You should have left it alone.
00:47:48All I'm asking is just a few more days.
00:47:50Ashley is coming to town in a few days.
00:47:53What?
00:47:55Jess!
00:47:56What?
00:47:58Jess!
00:47:59Jess.
00:48:09Dad, this is Jess.
00:48:11Jess, this is Dad.
00:48:13You can call him Jimmy.
00:48:15Jimmy?
00:48:19I'm Jimmy, sweetie.
00:48:20It's lovely to meet you, Jimmy.
00:48:22And can I just say...
00:48:24That's a lovely Hawaiian shirt.
00:48:26It really, really suits you.
00:48:28Well, thank you, Jessica.
00:48:30It's one I'm fond of.
00:48:34So, who is Ashley?
00:48:37I heard you guys talking about her earlier.
00:48:39Oh, she's just an old family friend.
00:48:45They grew up and went to law school together.
00:48:47Oh.
00:48:48And she had Daniel's first kiss.
00:48:51Oh.
00:48:53Her wedding is approaching soon.
00:48:55And I'd like Daniel to attend.
00:48:58Dad!
00:48:59I've been reminiscing about the good old days.
00:49:01No, it's fine, honestly.
00:49:03It's lovely to hear about Daniel's childhood.
00:49:05And more about his life.
00:49:07You bastard child!
00:49:13Well, well.
00:49:15What do we have here?
00:49:17You think you can afford this place?
00:49:20You're about to lose this battle and be out on the streets soon.
00:49:25Who's this clown?
00:49:29Looks like he belongs in a circus.
00:49:31How dare you, Kristen!
00:49:33How do you know my name?
00:49:35And don't you dare call me by my first name.
00:49:38That's enough!
00:49:41Don't talk to my father like that.
00:49:46He's your father.
00:49:49How does it feel to be a father of such a loser?
00:49:53Don't talk to my family like that.
00:49:56Your family.
00:49:57Your family suck, Jessica.
00:50:00Especially your mother.
00:50:02The home-wrecking tramp.
00:50:05A whore.
00:50:14Your family suck, Jessica.
00:50:17Especially your mother.
00:50:19The home-wrecking tramp.
00:50:22A whore.
00:50:24Oh, damn!
00:50:29How dare you slap me!
00:50:32That is enough, Kristen.
00:50:35You're not going to lay a hand on my wife.
00:50:41Ladies, you need to leave. Now.
00:50:43You can't throw us out. We're buyers.
00:50:45We're not going anywhere.
00:50:46The owner of this property has banned you from coming here.
00:50:49You need to leave now or I will call security.
00:50:53You will regret this.
00:50:57I've heard that a thousand times.
00:51:00Now leave.
00:51:11Thank you, Jessica.
00:51:13You stood up for me.
00:51:15Well, we're family, Jimmy.
00:51:17It's what I'm supposed to do.
00:51:22Well, I appreciate it.
00:51:25You're a nice girl.
00:51:27You found a good wife, son.
00:51:31Dad, about Ashy's wedding.
00:51:34I don't think I'm going to be able to make it.
00:51:36I'll look into it.
00:51:38I'll speak to her about it.
00:51:39Oh, no, no, no, no.
00:51:41Daniel can still attend. It's not a problem.
00:51:44Jess, I just want to focus on you and I.
00:51:47I'm not the jealous type.
00:51:49Plus, I don't want you to miss your first crush's wedding.
00:51:54Well, you decide, Daniel.
00:51:56Oh, there's a long party.
00:51:59You two want to come? It's in three hours.
00:52:03Yeah.
00:52:04Dad, we'll go.
00:52:06Great.
00:52:08I'll see you there.
00:52:14Well, this place is extremely high class.
00:52:19Well, my dad has a few rich friends.
00:52:26And James Thornton is here.
00:52:30I know you don't want to see him.
00:52:32But Jess, my dad's here.
00:52:34He's going to join us later.
00:52:36Okay.
00:52:38The bidding's about to start.
00:52:40Oh, the bitch is here!
00:52:42I know.
00:52:43Don't worry, we can teach him a lesson.
00:52:45Yeah, how?
00:52:46Let's see if Daniel can handle a little humiliation.
00:52:51With money.
00:52:52Here with money? What money?
00:52:53I haven't gotten my inheritance back yet.
00:52:55Yeah, I know.
00:52:56Your mother spoke to Richard.
00:52:58He said he's willing to donate us some cash if we make Jessica look ugly.
00:53:02I know.
00:53:03I know.
00:53:04I know.
00:53:05I know.
00:53:06I know.
00:53:07I know.
00:53:08I know.
00:53:09What if Jessica looks ugly?
00:53:10Oh.
00:53:13You're the best.
00:53:16I know.
00:53:21Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to this evening's auction.

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