00:00:00Ho, ho, ho! I have a gift for you.
00:00:03Jessica.
00:00:10Cheers. May it be full of surprises.
00:00:13Ho, ho, ho! I have a gift for you.
00:00:16Jessica, you have inherited this mansion,
00:00:19along with your father's business, empire, and assets worth over a billion dollars.
00:00:24I just need a signature from you.
00:00:25Oh, and a hundred and five million dollars in cash.
00:00:30Ho, ho, ho!
00:00:33We're rich!
00:00:34Let me hold on to it for you, baby.
00:00:36Yeah.
00:00:37You know, my whole life, I grew up in foster care.
00:00:42Moving from place to place, and now I finally have a place that I can call home.
00:00:49It's real great to win the jackpot.
00:00:51Now my only wish is to reunite with my mother.
00:00:55You bastard child!
00:00:57You will never reunite with your mother.
00:00:59We made sure that that whore is gone forever.
00:01:02My mother is gone because of you?
00:01:05Well, we had a little help from James Thornton,
00:01:08the most powerful man in the Thornton family.
00:01:11Time for you to go back to your poor little country, sis.
00:01:15Yes, ma'am.
00:01:16USCIS.
00:01:17Your visa expired years ago. You're being deported.
00:01:20What? No, there must be some mistake here.
00:01:22Adrian, didn't you help me file my immigration paperwork?
00:01:26Whoops.
00:01:27I guess I screwed up.
00:01:29What?
00:01:31Hey, baby.
00:01:32Hey.
00:01:34Adrian, are you cheating on me? With her?
00:01:37Choose the right side, babe. You'll never win against them.
00:01:40That's true.
00:01:41Um, according to the terms of the will, non-citizens are not eligible to inherit the estate.
00:01:48Everything will pass through your next of kin, Lisa Ann Kristen Miller.
00:01:53You thought you could get rich overnight? Keep dreaming.
00:01:57Seriously?
00:01:58Bon voyage, have sis.
00:02:08The boss is urgent.
00:02:09They're about to deport a woman named Jessica Miller.
00:02:13Jessica Miller?
00:02:15It's her.
00:02:24Oh, thank God you're alive.
00:02:26She's so beautiful and kind. The girl I've always dreamed of.
00:02:30She saved my life once. I owe her.
00:02:36Wait, wait, wait, wait.
00:02:38Jessica?
00:02:40Do I know you?
00:02:41She doesn't remember me.
00:02:47I'm Daniel. You're a lawyer.
00:02:49Just pretend we know each other. If I can get you out of here.
00:02:52We've spoken to the judge and Miss Miller should be released immediately.
00:02:57We can't deport her. She is about to marry a U.S. citizen.
00:03:03Who's the lucky guy?
00:03:04I am. I'm marrying her.
00:03:12A fake marriage won't save her.
00:03:14Our marriage is real.
00:03:15Yeah, a hundred percent real.
00:03:18Prove it then.
00:03:22Okay.
00:03:27That's it? You call that a kiss?
00:03:41Need more proof, officer?
00:03:42Look, this guy is a lawyer to some of the most important families in town.
00:03:48And if you don't let her go, then he'll make sure you lose your damn job.
00:03:51Fine, you can have her.
00:03:53Thank you, officer.
00:03:58Guys, I think we're good.
00:04:01It's not over.
00:04:05We'll be checking your marital status and conducting interviews.
00:04:08And there are a few very specific requirements you should know.
00:04:12Make sure you two are staying in the same house and sleeping in the same bed.
00:04:16Or it's game over.
00:04:17Game over.
00:04:20Well, thank you for the rescue.
00:04:28Oh, it's no problem.
00:04:30But, um, Daniel, would you, would you marry me?
00:04:37Oh, Jessica, I've waited for this moment for five years.
00:04:40I mean, it would only be a contract marriage.
00:04:43But once I get my green card, I'll inherit my father's business empire.
00:04:48And I'll share half of it with you.
00:04:52Even your misunderstanding looks so cute.
00:04:54I only want you, Jessica.
00:04:56But before I get my green card, you're going to have to help me deal with my stepsister and her mom.
00:05:03They're trying to get rid of me.
00:05:05And they've already stolen my fortune.
00:05:08And they made my mother disappear.
00:05:10Deal.
00:05:11What?
00:05:13That's it?
00:05:16This lily stands for loyalties and new beginnings.
00:05:20Something that I want with you.
00:05:22Now I know it's rushed.
00:05:25But I promise you, I will buy you a proper ring soon.
00:05:40From now on, let's make every Christmas our own.
00:05:44Filled with memories.
00:05:58You, you can't do this!
00:05:59Jess, it's okay.
00:06:01Just wait here. I'll handle it.
00:06:02I'll handle it.
00:06:08What?
00:06:10Why are you helping that girl?
00:06:11Kristen Miller is our ally.
00:06:13And she wants her the hell out of this picture.
00:06:16It's too late, dad.
00:06:17We already got married.
00:06:18Are you insane?
00:06:20Did you forget you're supposed to marry Ashley?
00:06:25Daniel Thornton.
00:06:28My mother is gone because of you?
00:06:30Well, we had a little help from James Thornton.
00:06:33The most powerful man in the Thornton family.
00:06:37Wait, I recognize that face.
00:06:40From the newspaper, that was James Thornton.
00:06:43From the Thornton family, the family responsible for my mother's disappearance.
00:06:52Stop telling me what I can and cannot do.
00:06:54She saved my life. I owe it to her.
00:06:56Blow the hell up, Daniel.
00:06:58You need to remember your position as the heir to our family.
00:07:01And you need to divorce that girl.
00:07:03Now.
00:07:04I'm doing all this to clean your mess up.
00:07:07Just leave us alone.
00:07:16Sorry about that.
00:07:18Is your name Daniel Thornton?
00:07:22Yeah.
00:07:24The Thornton family are responsible for the disappearance of my mother.
00:07:29I have been searching for her my entire life.
00:07:33Jess.
00:07:34No.
00:07:35I can explain.
00:07:36I'm not married.
00:07:37Wait, wait, wait, Jess, Jess.
00:07:39I'm not who you think I am.
00:07:41I have nothing to do with that family.
00:07:42Oh, really? Because your name is right here on the marriage certificate.
00:07:47I share the last name as Thornton, but I am not one of them.
00:07:50One of them. Thornton is a common name.
00:07:52Just an ordinary guy.
00:07:53Really? Well, I don't believe you.
00:07:55I saw you talking to James Thornton.
00:07:58Is he your father?
00:08:02Is he your father?
00:08:03No, he's not my father.
00:08:04He was threatening to drive you out of the country and I was not going to have anything to do with it.
00:08:08Jess, I'm on your side.
00:08:11You're not one of them.
00:08:14I'm sorry.
00:08:17It's okay.
00:08:18Don't worry about it.
00:08:21Well, you have a nice apartment.
00:08:25Welcome.
00:08:27Is that your Labrador?
00:08:29It looks exactly like mine.
00:08:31I got mine as a Christmas present when I was nine.
00:08:33No way.
00:08:34I got mine as a Christmas present when I was nine.
00:08:36That's crazy.
00:08:41Jess, we're going to have to sleep in the same room together just in case immigration ambush us.
00:08:45Yeah, but are you sure you're okay sleeping on the carpet?
00:08:49I mean, you've done so much for me already and I just...
00:08:52Jess, please, I insist.
00:08:54We made a deal, remember?
00:08:56I also want to thank you for giving me the chance to get rich.
00:09:02It's okay, Daniel.
00:09:20Jess?
00:09:33Jess?
00:09:36Are you spying on me?
00:09:39No.
00:09:40No, no, no, no.
00:09:41I was just passing by and just...
00:09:45Do you need anything?
00:09:47I was joking.
00:09:48Yeah, could you pass me the towel?
00:09:51It's just hanging out next to the door.
00:09:54Yeah, sure, sure.
00:09:59Thanks.
00:10:09Oh my God.
00:10:10What?
00:10:11I just got fired.
00:10:12What?
00:10:15Wait, Jess, let me go with you.
00:10:18What?
00:10:20Yeah.
00:10:32Sam, please, don't fire me.
00:10:34I'm sorry, Jess, but your immigration issue put us in a tough spot.
00:10:40I worked for this company for years.
00:10:43I'm sorry, Jess. There's nothing I can do.
00:10:48I'm sorry.
00:10:54Look who's here.
00:10:55Someone who just got fired.
00:10:58This suits you.
00:11:03It was you.
00:11:05I should have known you were behind this.
00:11:07I'm not going to let you stay here and ruin things.
00:11:09I'm going to take away everything you have.
00:11:11Sister.
00:11:13Uh, you just made a big mistake, sir.
00:11:18Who are you?
00:11:19My name is Daniel Thornton, son of James Thornton, the chairman of Thornton Enterprise.
00:11:26Oh, uh, Mr. Thornton, uh, welcome.
00:11:31What brings you here?
00:11:34Well, I have some good news for you.
00:11:37Jessica Miller, she's just closed a billion dollar deal.
00:11:42Take a look.
00:11:54Oh, my God.
00:11:59It's real.
00:12:01Absolutely.
00:12:02With her hard work and dedication, she's made this possible.
00:12:06It's a real shame you're going to lose such a valuable employee.
00:12:10Oh, uh, Mr. Thornton, um, I have made a huge mistake.
00:12:16Uh, Jessica will stay.
00:12:20Good.
00:12:22And, uh, make sure nobody knows we had this conversation.
00:12:30Jessica!
00:12:31You should have told me!
00:12:36What are you talking about, Sam?
00:12:38Jessica!
00:12:39You secured a huge deal for the company!
00:12:43Did you not just fire her?
00:12:45I changed my mind.
00:12:48Jessica's staying.
00:12:49Actually, she's being promoted to sales manager.
00:12:54Can't afford to lose someone as valuable as like her.
00:12:57Great.
00:12:59Thanks, Sam.
00:13:01This is not over.
00:13:07I can't believe it.
00:13:08Jessica kept her job and she gets promoted.
00:13:11Don't worry, Lisa.
00:13:13I just spoke with James Thornton and he had the lawyer change the will in our favor.
00:13:18Jessica will get nothing.
00:13:20Oh, my God.
00:13:22That's fantastic.
00:13:35No way.
00:13:42Jessica, how's work?
00:13:44Did you get your job back?
00:13:46Daniel, I need a lawyer.
00:13:55Wow.
00:13:56Look who decided to show up.
00:13:58Too bad for you, Jess.
00:14:00Turns out daddy's will left you nothing.
00:14:03I knew all along Robert wouldn't leave anything for this little pathetic bastard child.
00:14:10You are out of luck.
00:14:12Well, that's a lie.
00:14:13You showed me the will.
00:14:15And I signed the documents.
00:14:18I'm sorry, Jessica.
00:14:20I just discovered a revised will that supports Kristen and Lisa's claims.
00:14:27Mr. Thornton.
00:14:28Who is this?
00:14:29He's my lawyer.
00:14:30And a damn good one.
00:14:32Oh.
00:14:33You know, Jess, I didn't realize you had enough money to pay for a fancy little lawyer.
00:14:38You sleep with him?
00:14:40Patrick, can I have a word with you outside?
00:14:44Talk all you want.
00:14:45It won't change anything.
00:14:51All right, Patrick.
00:14:53I'm going to keep this short and sweet.
00:14:55I know you changed the will to favor Kristen and Lisa.
00:14:57I know what you're talking about, Mr. Thornton.
00:15:00The revised will's solid.
00:15:02Ted found an email exchange with my father.
00:15:04Here, take a look.
00:15:07You've been caught, Patrick.
00:15:09Honor of the will, I'll report you to the Bar Association.
00:15:12You'll lose your license and any chance of practicing law again.
00:15:15That goes against your father's wishes.
00:15:17You don't understand the position you put me in.
00:15:19I'll deal with my father.
00:15:20Don't you worry about that.
00:15:22You just worry about doing the right thing.
00:15:29Um, this revised will's a fake.
00:15:32The original will's stamped.
00:15:33What the hell are you doing?
00:15:35He's doing the right thing.
00:15:39Jessica, you've gotten your inheritance back.
00:15:42Congratulations.
00:15:44Oh my God.
00:15:47Patrick, do what you are supposed to do
00:15:50or James will make sure you face the consequences.
00:15:55Don't listen to her, Patrick.
00:15:57I'll deal with James Thornton.
00:15:59Who the hell do you think you are?
00:16:01James Thornton is one of the most powerful men in this town.
00:16:05I sure can.
00:16:07Isn't that right, Patrick?
00:16:08Yes.
00:16:10The original will's stamped.
00:16:12Yes.
00:16:13The original will's stamped.
00:16:14No, you are crazy.
00:16:16No, I'm not.
00:16:18According to the original will, Jessica stands to inherit this mansion.
00:16:22Kristen, you're out.
00:16:24I think you two should leave.
00:16:26You home wrecker, just like your mother.
00:16:30I will not allow violence.
00:16:33I didn't come here to argue over a house and assets.
00:16:38I came here to be recognized as an actual member of this family.
00:16:42Yeah, well it's easy for you to say you're getting everything.
00:16:44You don't know how lucky you are, Lisa.
00:16:46You grew up with a father who loved you.
00:16:49I had none.
00:16:50And you took my mother away from me and I still don't know where she is.
00:16:56You two don't deserve this mansion.
00:16:58And I would rather give it away to charity
00:17:02than to see the two of you living in it.
00:17:09You two should pack your things up.
00:17:12You have one week to leave this house.
00:17:22What the hell were you thinking?
00:17:24Sabotaging my plan?
00:17:26I was just doing the right thing.
00:17:28The right thing?
00:17:29Going against me?
00:17:31Kristen Miller has got no power anymore.
00:17:33Her game is over.
00:17:35I'm sure you didn't come all this way just to argue with me.
00:17:39So what do you want?
00:17:41I just want Jessica to get her mom back.
00:17:45Interesting.
00:17:49What's in it for me?
00:17:51Once Jessica gets her mom back, I'll do whatever you want.
00:17:55Whatever I want?
00:17:57Like what exactly?
00:17:59I'll marry Ashley.
00:18:02You'll marry Ashley?
00:18:04Yeah.
00:18:05You're willing to do that?
00:18:07Yeah, I am.
00:18:10But only if she's reunited with her mother.
00:18:14Okay, deal.
00:18:17I'll make the arrangements.
00:18:19So you're really in love with this one, huh?
00:18:21Yeah, I am.
00:18:24Okay, good.
00:18:26I sure hope she's worth it.
00:18:29She is.
00:18:34What's wrong?
00:18:35We have a guest.
00:18:40Mr. Thornton, good to see you again.
00:18:43Interview time.
00:18:45Great.
00:18:48When did you two meet?
00:18:50We met at a friend's party two years ago.
00:18:54What do you say, Jessica?
00:18:57Oh, yeah, yeah.
00:18:59Interesting.
00:19:01And when did you decide to get married?
00:19:03Eight months ago.
00:19:04Six months ago.
00:19:05Six months or eight months? Which one is it?
00:19:08Yeah, eight months ago.
00:19:09Sorry, I just...
00:19:10Sorry, I'm always getting mixed up.
00:19:13Sure.
00:19:14Easy mistake to make.
00:19:17And what's your anniversary date?
00:19:19March 15th.
00:19:20March 15th?
00:19:23All right.
00:19:29That's it?
00:19:30Yes, Mr. Thornton.
00:19:31I have everything I need.
00:19:33I'll report back to the judges.
00:19:37Oh, wait.
00:19:39This.
00:19:42How did we do in there?
00:19:46It was pretty bad.
00:19:49Look.
00:19:52I'm the son of James Thornton.
00:19:54I know who you are.
00:19:57Okay.
00:19:59You want to bribe me?
00:20:02Yes.
00:20:03I can't be bribed.
00:20:05Here's one million dollars.
00:20:11Two million dollars.
00:20:13Right.
00:20:17Three million dollars.
00:20:20It's tempting, but like I said, you can't bribe me.
00:20:23Please.
00:20:24Can you just give us one more week to prepare?
00:20:28I really want to be with this woman.
00:20:30She means the world to me.
00:20:31She saved my life.
00:20:33I'm not going to take your money, but I'll give you one week.
00:20:36Make it count.
00:20:39Next time, I want to see some genuine affection between you two.
00:20:42If anything seems a bit off, your game's up.
00:20:45Of course.
00:20:46And one more thing.
00:20:48I can tell you two haven't had sex yet.
00:20:52I'm that good, Mr. Daniel.
00:20:54Don't try and fool me.
00:20:58She gave us another chance.
00:20:59Oh, thank God.
00:21:00We have one week to get our story straight.
00:21:04Thank you, Daniel.
00:21:06You've been very, very helpful today.
00:21:28Now, I wanted to make our first Christmas special.
00:21:31So, I did a little digging and I found this.
00:21:35This tree is amazing.
00:21:43What happened?
00:21:46Let me have a look.
00:21:57Okay.
00:22:13Um, I have a festive gift for you two.
00:22:27Wow.
00:22:29Jess, you look gorgeous.
00:22:37And then, I told him that's not how you negotiate.
00:22:40You did it.
00:22:41I did.
00:22:58What?
00:23:23This could be wrong.
00:23:25Maybe.
00:23:27Maybe not.
00:23:43So, that is how you negotiate.
00:23:48You're not even there.
00:23:58I'm stuck.
00:24:00Hold on.
00:24:01I've got this.
00:24:27I'm stuck.
00:24:28I'm stuck.
00:24:29I'm stuck.
00:24:30I'm stuck.
00:24:31I'm stuck.
00:24:32I'm stuck.
00:24:33I'm stuck.
00:24:34I'm stuck.
00:24:35I'm stuck.
00:24:36I'm stuck.
00:24:37I'm stuck.
00:24:38I'm stuck.
00:24:39I'm stuck.
00:24:40I'm stuck.
00:24:41I'm stuck.
00:24:42I'm stuck.
00:24:43I'm stuck.
00:24:44I'm stuck.
00:24:45I'm stuck.
00:24:46I'm stuck.
00:24:47I'm stuck.
00:24:48I'm stuck.
00:24:49I'm stuck.
00:24:50I'm stuck.
00:24:51I'm stuck.
00:24:52I'm stuck.
00:24:53I'm stuck.
00:24:54I'm stuck.
00:24:55I'm stuck.
00:24:56I'm stuck.
00:25:05That watch looks familiar.
00:25:09I've seen this before.
00:25:10In a magazine.
00:25:13It looks like one of those
00:25:17Thornton family
00:25:19watches.
00:25:20Is it real?
00:25:23No.
00:25:24It's fake.
00:25:26You wear a fake watch?
00:25:30Yeah.
00:25:31I'm so happy, Jess.
00:25:47There's also something I need to tell you about your mom.
00:25:54Oh my god, did I just sleep with Daniel last night?
00:26:10I told him it would only be a contract marriage.
00:26:17Morning.
00:26:23This is the most beautiful morning that I've ever had.
00:26:26Daniel, I'm so sorry about last night.
00:26:31It wasn't supposed to happen, and I promise it will never happen again.
00:26:39She didn't mean it.
00:26:40Oh, Jessica.
00:26:41Last night was amazing.
00:26:42Yeah, Jess.
00:26:43I get it.
00:26:44It was a one-time thing.
00:26:45Yeah, just like, just a one-time thing.
00:26:57Anyway, it's your big day today.
00:27:03You're the new CEO of the Miller empire.
00:27:08Thank you for the reminder, but now that you mention it, I'm really scared.
00:27:15No, no, Jess. I didn't mean it like that.
00:27:19What I was meant to say is...
00:27:23I'm gonna help you.
00:27:29I don't know what to do, Mother. That bitch is kicking us out.
00:27:32We still have a chance.
00:27:33That bastard child needs a unanimous vote from the board to be chosen as the next CEO.
00:27:40So we just need a board member to back us up.
00:27:43I will call Richard. Everyone respects Richard's vote.
00:27:46And I will make sure he doesn't vote for her.
00:27:49And I'll dig up all the dirt I can find on her.
00:27:52You go, girl.
00:28:03These clothes are... beautiful.
00:28:07But, uh... very expensive.
00:28:11Like this one. That is... $9,000.
00:28:15Jess, don't worry about it.
00:28:18It's on me.
00:28:19Look at it as, uh... my first gift to my wife.
00:28:23No, Daniel, I can't let you pay for this.
00:28:25Look, Jess. You're gonna be a CEO.
00:28:28Which means you've gotta look the part.
00:28:30Trust me. It's an investment.
00:28:34Mr. Thornton, welcome back. How can I assist you today?
00:28:38You come here a lot?
00:28:39Uh... no.
00:28:40Well, of course. Mr. Thornton owns this store.
00:28:43Uh... Jess, why don't you try this one on?
00:28:47You'll look great in it.
00:28:52Wow. Jess, you look... amazing.
00:28:57You think so?
00:28:58Yeah.
00:29:00This is exactly what a CEO would wear.
00:29:02Absolutely. Great choice.
00:29:05We'll take this one.
00:29:07Something on your mind?
00:29:09Well, it's probably nothing, but it's just...
00:29:12that clerk seemed very... fond of you.
00:29:15Oh, um... being friendly is a part of my job.
00:29:19Okay.
00:29:26So that's how you got your lawyer, huh?
00:29:30Now that you mention it, maybe she was a little friendly.
00:29:34But we got a discount.
00:29:37Show-off.
00:29:46What a slut.
00:29:51Trust me, Jess. You can do this.
00:29:53Yeah, but what if they don't accept me?
00:29:55They will. Trust me.
00:29:57Just speak from the heart and show your true self.
00:30:00Aww.
00:30:02Look at you two little lovebirds.
00:30:06Pathetic.
00:30:10Ted, can we talk about this later?
00:30:12Okay.
00:30:15You go in. I'll meet you in there soon, okay?
00:30:23Good luck in there, sis.
00:30:26You're gonna need it.
00:30:28I don't know the votes.
00:30:33I know my background doesn't seem very typical of a CEO,
00:30:37but I built myself from the bottom up here.
00:30:40Miller Corporation is a leader in tech and services,
00:30:46reaching industries from healthcare to energy.
00:30:49We have over 10,000 employees worldwide
00:30:54who have worked hard to build this company from the ground up,
00:30:57and I was one of them. I know them.
00:31:00And I believe that I can help lead this company
00:31:03to become everyone's company.
00:31:06Let's proceed to the vote.
00:31:08All in favor?
00:31:13Robert lost his damn mind.
00:31:15He picked his secret child to be the CEO
00:31:18only because of his guilty conscience.
00:31:20Richard, if I may...
00:31:22I'm not done talking.
00:31:24You can't lead us.
00:31:26And you're not getting my vote.
00:31:29Richard, if I may speak...
00:31:31Go ahead.
00:31:32But I won't change my mind.
00:31:37Sorry for interrupting everyone,
00:31:39but I have something important to share with you all today.
00:31:41Who the hell are you?
00:31:43Well, Richard, I'm the person who's going to expose you.
00:31:46What did you just say?
00:31:48How do I say this?
00:31:50Uh...
00:31:51You're a sex pervert.
00:31:53What?
00:31:56You see, everyone,
00:31:58this file contains multiple sexual harassment lawsuits
00:32:03against Richard over the past 30 years.
00:32:07Some of them also have ongoing lawsuits.
00:32:10They're all just allegations, and they've all been settled.
00:32:13I'm innocent.
00:32:14We've also got in contact with some of the victims,
00:32:16and they're willing to come forward and testify.
00:32:18Actually...
00:32:19I have not finished yet.
00:32:21You're also stealing money from the company.
00:32:23And we have the financial records to prove it.
00:32:31The evidence is clear.
00:32:33He's guilty.
00:32:36Okay, then.
00:32:37Let's all vote for Richard Donald's immediate suspension.
00:32:40All in favor?
00:32:43All right.
00:32:46We have 15 votes.
00:32:49The board has decided.
00:32:50Richard Donald is officially removed from his position.
00:32:54Security, escort him out immediately.
00:32:57I know my way.
00:33:03And all in favor of appointing Jessica Miller as the new CEO.
00:33:24I'm sorry I was late.
00:33:25I had to make sure I had enough evidence to nail him.
00:33:27No, don't be sorry, Daniel.
00:33:28That was so worth the wait.
00:33:30Good.
00:33:33This is not over.
00:33:35You'll see.
00:33:36How's packing going, Lisa?
00:33:37You're about to be evicted soon.
00:33:39Bye-bye.
00:33:43She won again, that bitch.
00:33:45I know, it's so unfair.
00:33:47Do we have a guest?
00:33:49Lisa, honey.
00:33:51I've been trying to reach you.
00:33:53Why haven't you returned my calls?
00:33:55I've been busy.
00:33:56Busy.
00:33:57Dealing with Jessica.
00:33:59How did you know?
00:34:00Oh, I know.
00:34:01And I think I know how to help you take it down.
00:34:04Again.
00:34:05No use to me anymore, Adrian.
00:34:07I only needed you to help me get rid of Jessica.
00:34:13To the new CEO of the Miller Empire.
00:34:18Phil, I couldn't have done it without you, Danny.
00:34:20I also have another Christmas surprise for you.
00:34:25Who are you calling?
00:34:29Is it?
00:34:30Yes, Jess.
00:34:31It's your mother, Clara.
00:34:33Oh, my God.
00:34:34Mom?
00:34:35Oh, Jessica, you're a grown woman now.
00:34:38The Miller family threatened to kill you, Jess.
00:34:41I had no option but to vanish.
00:34:45Mom, it's okay.
00:34:47You didn't do anything wrong.
00:34:48I'll bring you back into the country.
00:34:50I promise.
00:34:52Daniel, how did you find her?
00:34:54I have a few powerful friends.
00:34:56They did me a favor.
00:34:58But I'll leave you two alone.
00:35:01Yeah.
00:35:10Two more, please.
00:35:14Daniel.
00:35:16Adrian.
00:35:18Long time no see, buddy.
00:35:19Oh, my God.
00:35:20How long has it been?
00:35:22Ten years.
00:35:23Ten years.
00:35:24Oh, my God.
00:35:26The last time I must have seen you was at law school.
00:35:30Yep.
00:35:31Go Reds.
00:35:33Go Reds.
00:35:35What are you doing here?
00:35:37Just in town to run some errands.
00:35:39Just thought I'd come here for a quick bite.
00:35:41Nice, man, nice.
00:35:43I saw your date earlier.
00:35:44She looks pretty.
00:35:46Yeah, my wife.
00:35:48Your wife?
00:35:49Yeah, Jess.
00:35:50You're married?
00:35:51Yes.
00:35:52Yeah, you have to introduce me to her.
00:35:53Come on, let's go say hi.
00:35:55Come and say hello.
00:35:56It's good to see you, bud.
00:35:57Good to see you too, man.
00:35:59Jess, I wanted you to meet an old friend of mine.
00:36:01Adrian, this is Jess.
00:36:03Jess, this is Adrian.
00:36:04We went to law school together.
00:36:11I don't want to see him.
00:36:16I don't want to see him.
00:36:20You two know each other?
00:36:21Yes, Daniel.
00:36:23I was her first boyfriend.
00:36:28Come on, Jess.
00:36:30Don't you miss me?
00:36:31I don't want to see you anymore.
00:36:34You know you're still in love with me, Jess.
00:36:36No, I don't.
00:36:41I think you should leave, Adrian.
00:36:43Okay, Daniel.
00:36:44Relax.
00:36:45Now.
00:36:51I'm leaving.
00:36:52I'm leaving.
00:36:56Does she know she's lying?
00:37:02Boss, Adrian Wesley now represents Lisa and Kristen Miller.
00:37:06They wanted to test the will.
00:37:08I should have known.
00:37:09What else?
00:37:11Adrian also used to date Jessica.
00:37:13Actually, he's the one who sabotaged Jessica's immigration paperwork.
00:37:18It caused all this trouble.
00:37:22That son of a bitch.
00:37:24We need to win this war.
00:37:26Do whatever it takes.
00:37:35Daniel?
00:37:38Sorry.
00:37:39Did I wake you?
00:37:40No.
00:37:43Can you join me in bed, please?
00:37:48Are you sure?
00:37:53I just...
00:37:55I wanted to apologize for earlier.
00:37:58The restaurant.
00:38:02I got a bit carried away.
00:38:04Jess, you don't need to apologize.
00:38:07Adrian's an asshole.
00:38:08He's just trying to do it to get under your skin.
00:38:11I did care for Adrian once.
00:38:14But he just destroyed everything we had.
00:38:18I want you to know
00:38:20that I'm here because of you.
00:38:24And you're the only one
00:38:28who I love.
00:38:29No one else.
00:38:42I love you too, Jess.
00:38:44And I'm not going anywhere.
00:38:49Shit.
00:38:59Good morning, husband.
00:39:01Morning, wife.
00:39:04Are you ready for your big day as the new CEO?
00:39:06If only you were with me.
00:39:28You're gonna do great today.
00:39:35No, no, no.
00:39:37Jess?
00:39:39Here's your coffee.
00:39:44What's wrong?
00:39:45No, it's just, it's this job.
00:39:46It's all so new to me.
00:39:49Okay, calm down.
00:39:51Remember.
00:39:52You're the CEO.
00:39:53Which means
00:39:54you're the boss.
00:39:55Yeah, but I don't know how to be a boss.
00:39:59Hey, Jess.
00:40:01Look at you, sitting in the big chair now.
00:40:04Oh, Giovanna, I am so happy you're here.
00:40:10You must be Daniel.
00:40:12Jessica's been talking about you for days.
00:40:16I'm flattered.
00:40:17I really wish you could be here with me, G.
00:40:19It's exhausting.
00:40:20Oh, at least you have a job, Jess.
00:40:23I've been looking for work for the past two months.
00:40:26Jess?
00:40:29Do you like Gianna being here?
00:40:33Of course.
00:40:35We've been besties since forever.
00:40:38Yeah, what kind of question is that?
00:40:40Well, why don't you use your CEO power
00:40:44and hire Gianna?
00:40:45Gianna?
00:40:47Oh, I know what you mean.
00:40:49I don't understand.
00:40:51How would you like to come work for me?
00:40:57Of course.
00:40:59Okay, then.
00:41:00My first order as a CEO.
00:41:04Gianna, you are hired as my personal assistant.
00:41:10Oh my God, Jess, thank you so much.
00:41:12See?
00:41:14Being a boss is easy.
00:41:16You can do whatever you want.
00:41:25Oh my God.
00:41:27What's wrong?
00:41:28The company's stock prices are dropping like crazy.
00:41:31What is happening?
00:41:33This isn't normal.
00:41:35The stock's getting down.
00:41:36Well, well, well.
00:41:39Looks like things aren't going so well.
00:41:41What did you do, Lisa?
00:41:43I asked Richard and some of the other investors
00:41:46to sell their stocks.
00:41:48The board members are not going to be happy about the stock prices, Jessica.
00:41:52What do you want?
00:41:54Resign as CEO or I will destroy this company.
00:41:58No way.
00:42:00Okay.
00:42:02Then I will destroy this company.
00:42:04Jessica, the board members are asking to meet with you.
00:42:07They're angry.
00:42:12What are you going to do, Jess?
00:42:15Okay, I'll meet with the board.
00:42:17Wait, Jess.
00:42:19Don't go. Take a seat.
00:42:22What is it?
00:42:24Lisa, are you sure the stock prices are going down?
00:42:28Because to me, they seem to be going up and up.
00:42:32That's impossible. You would need at least a billion dollars.
00:42:36I guess anything's possible these days.
00:42:38God damn it!
00:42:40God, she's annoying.
00:42:46You must be my lucky star.
00:42:55Daniel.
00:42:58Gianna.
00:43:00I know who you are, Daniel.
00:43:02You're the son of James Thornton.
00:43:04How did you find out?
00:43:06My identity is meant to be a secret.
00:43:08I used to work for your father.
00:43:10Please don't tell Jess.
00:43:12I'll pay you. How much do you want?
00:43:14I don't want your money.
00:43:16I care for my friend.
00:43:18Actually, your father fired me because I tried to help Jessica.
00:43:22I'm sorry, Gianna.
00:43:24It's okay.
00:43:26I just want to know why.
00:43:28She hates my family.
00:43:30I have to lie to her.
00:43:32She hates your family, but she loves you.
00:43:36I can see that.
00:43:38You think so?
00:43:40Yes.
00:43:42I love her too.
00:43:44She's the best thing that's ever happened to me.
00:43:47That's good to hear.
00:43:49Please protect her.
00:43:58Daniel.
00:44:00It's my mom.
00:44:02Adrian threatened her.
00:44:08Adrian threatened my mom on the phone.
00:44:11He said he was going to block her from entering the country.
00:44:14What should we do?
00:44:16Jess.
00:44:18I don't want you to worry about it.
00:44:20I'm going to make sure your mom gets here safely.
00:44:21Okay.
00:44:36Ted.
00:44:38I need you to make sure Jessica's mom gets here safely.
00:44:41Book her on the first flight out tomorrow.
00:44:43Got it, boss.
00:44:45She'll be here in town the day after tomorrow.
00:44:47Good.
00:44:52Jess has been taken care of.
00:44:54Your mom's going to be here the day after tomorrow.
00:44:57Thank you, Daniel.
00:45:00But I'm...
00:45:02I'm still scared.
00:45:04I just... I need a day off.
00:45:06I love the sound of that.
00:45:08What did you have in mind?
00:45:10I was thinking...
00:45:14I want to buy a house.
00:45:22So...
00:45:25Do you like this place?
00:45:27It's amazing.
00:45:29But, Jess, I appreciate the gesture.
00:45:32But you don't need to buy me a house.
00:45:35No.
00:45:37No.
00:45:38I insist.
00:45:40You've done so much to help me.
00:45:43Besides, we can live together here.
00:45:46Mr. Thompson.
00:45:48Hi.
00:45:49Your father is here.
00:45:51Are you meeting him here?
00:45:56Well...
00:45:58I've never met your parents.
00:46:00So...
00:46:02I'm pretty excited to meet an in-law.
00:46:05Oh, is...
00:46:07Is that him?
00:46:09Come on, let's go say hi.
00:46:11Jess, wait.
00:46:13Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
00:46:15Um...
00:46:16I might not have told my dad about you and our marriage.
00:46:20Why?
00:46:22Uh...
00:46:24Because he has a heart condition.
00:46:27I think it's best you stay here.
00:46:30Okay.
00:46:32I'll just...
00:46:34Stay here, then.
00:46:36Good.
00:46:41Dad?
00:46:43Come on.
00:46:44Come on.
00:46:45Damn.
00:46:46What the hell?
00:46:47Jessica's here.
00:46:48She can't see her face.
00:46:49Don't take them off.
00:46:52I want to talk to you about Ashley, Daniel.
00:46:58Why hasn't Daniel told his father about me and our wedding?
00:47:02Ashley, really?
00:47:03Not today.
00:47:06And...
00:47:07What is this shirt you're wearing?
00:47:09Your mother insisted I wear it.
00:47:11And this cherry you left in the morning.
00:47:13Right.
00:47:14Said it makes me look more grounded.
00:47:18And I told you not to.
00:47:21And don't go changing our subject.
00:47:23I want to discuss our agreement.
00:47:25I give you Clara.
00:47:27And you marry Ashley.
00:47:33Why does he look so...
00:47:35Nervous?
00:47:36Am I not good enough?
00:47:41Do we have to talk about this right now?
00:47:43I held up my end of the bargain, Daniel.
00:47:46I want this deal done now.
00:47:48Actually, Clara isn't safe yet.
00:47:51Lisa Miller might try to be sabotaging everything.
00:47:54This is why you don't mess with the Miller family.
00:47:57You should have left it alone.
00:47:59All I'm asking is just a few more days.
00:48:01Ashley is coming to town in a few days.
00:48:04What?
00:48:06Jess!
00:48:08Jess.
00:48:11Jess.
00:48:18Dad, this is Jess.
00:48:20Jess, this is Dad.
00:48:22You can call him Jimmy.
00:48:24Jimmy?
00:48:26Right.
00:48:28I'm Jimmy, sweetie.
00:48:29It's lovely to meet you, Jimmy.
00:48:31And can I just say, that is a lovely Hawaiian shirt.
00:48:35It really, really suits you.
00:48:37Well, thank you, Jessica.
00:48:39It's one I'm fond of.
00:48:43So, who is Ashley?
00:48:45I heard you guys talking about her earlier.
00:48:48Oh, she's just an old family friend.
00:48:53They grew up and went to law school together.
00:48:56Oh.
00:48:57And she had Daniel's first kiss.
00:49:00Oh.
00:49:02Her wedding is approaching soon, and I'd like Daniel to attend.
00:49:08Reminiscing about the good old days.
00:49:10No, it's fine.
00:49:11Honestly, it's lovely to hear about Daniel's childhood and more about his life.
00:49:15You bastard child!
00:49:22Well, well.
00:49:23What do we have here?
00:49:26You think you can afford this place?
00:49:28You're about to lose this battle and be out on the streets soon.
00:49:33Who's this clown?
00:49:38Looks like he belongs in a circus.
00:49:40How dare you, Kristen!
00:49:42How do you know my name?
00:49:44And don't you dare call me by my first name.
00:49:47That's enough!
00:49:50Don't talk to my father like that.
00:49:55He's your father.
00:49:58How does it feel to be a father of such a loser?
00:50:01Don't talk to my family like that.
00:50:05Your family.
00:50:06Your family suck, Jessica.
00:50:09Especially your mother.
00:50:11The home-wrecking tramp.
00:50:14A whore.
00:50:23Your family suck, Jessica.
00:50:26Especially your mother.
00:50:28The home-wrecking tramp.
00:50:31A whore.
00:50:33Damn!
00:50:36How dare you slap me!
00:50:40That is enough, Kristen.
00:50:43You're not going to wear hair anymore.
00:50:49Ladies, you need to leave. Now.
00:50:51You can't throw us out. We're buyers.
00:50:53We're not going anywhere.
00:50:54The owner of this property has banned you from coming here.
00:50:57You need to leave now or I will call security.
00:51:01You will regret this.
00:51:06I've heard that a thousand times.
00:51:08Now leave.
00:51:19Thank you, Jessica.
00:51:21You stood up for me.
00:51:23Well, we're family, Jimmy.
00:51:25It's what I'm supposed to do.
00:51:30Well, I appreciate it.
00:51:33You're a nice girl.
00:51:36You found a good wife, son.
00:51:40Dad.
00:51:41About Ashley's wedding.
00:51:43I don't think I'm going to be able to make it.
00:51:45I'll look into it.
00:51:46I'll speak to her about it.
00:51:48Oh, no, no, no, no.
00:51:50Daniel can still attend. It's not a problem.
00:51:53Jess, I just want to focus on you and I.
00:51:55I'm not the jealous type.
00:51:58Plus, I don't want you to miss your first crush's wedding.
00:52:03Well, you decide, Daniel.
00:52:05Oh, there's a long party.
00:52:08You two want to come? It's in three hours.
00:52:12Yeah.
00:52:13Dad, we'll go.
00:52:15Great.
00:52:17I'll see you there.
00:52:28Well, this place is extremely high class.
00:52:33Well, my dad has a few rich friends.
00:52:40And James Thornton is here.
00:52:43I know you don't want to see him.
00:52:46But Jess, my dad's here.
00:52:48He's going to join us later.
00:52:50Okay.
00:52:52The bidding's about to start.
00:52:58Oh, the bitch is here!
00:53:00I know.
00:53:01Don't worry, we can teach him a lesson.
00:53:03Yeah, how?
00:53:04Let's see if Daniel can handle a little humiliation.
00:53:09With money.
00:53:10Here with money? What money?
00:53:11I haven't gotten my inheritance back yet.
00:53:13Yeah, I know.
00:53:14Your mother spoke to Richard.
00:53:15She said he's willing to donate us some cash if we make Jessica look ugly.
00:53:19Oh.
00:53:22You're the best.
00:53:25I know.
00:53:29Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to this evening's auction.
00:53:33We have for you The Last Dance.
00:53:36Bid starts at one million dollars.
00:53:42One million dollars!
00:53:46Two million dollars, right here.
00:53:51Three million dollars!
00:53:55Four million dollars!
00:53:59What are they doing? Where did they get that money from?
00:54:02I don't know, but they're definitely trying to humiliate you here.
00:54:05Really? But I don't even care about this bid.
00:54:09Five million dollars!
00:54:11Daniel, what are you doing?
00:54:13Don't worry, Jess. I've got this.
00:54:18Five million dollars!
00:54:20Daniel, what are you doing?
00:54:21What are you doing?
00:54:22Don't worry, Jess. I've got this.
00:54:24I got six million dollars.
00:54:27Cash.
00:54:28Boom.
00:54:30Can't compete with that.
00:54:32Watch this.
00:54:34Seven million dollars!
00:54:37Eight million dollars!
00:54:39Did that just happen?
00:54:40Ten million dollars!
00:54:45Awesome.
00:54:47Ten million, once, twice, sold!
00:54:51Two gentlemen there.
00:55:00Where did you get that money from?
00:55:02Well, do you remember me telling you about I have a powerful friend?
00:55:07Yeah, the one who helped me find my mother.
00:55:11Jessica.
00:55:13James Thornton.
00:55:15In the flesh.
00:55:16Or Mrs. Thornton.
00:55:18I want to apologize to you.
00:55:20I am truly sorry for everything I did to you and your mother.
00:55:25But I'm trying my best to make amends.
00:55:28Well, I don't know what to say.
00:55:32Jess, I know it's a lot to handle.
00:55:34You've just got to trust me.
00:55:35Yeah, but why didn't you just tell me in the first place, Daniel?
00:55:38Jess!
00:55:40Jessica!
00:55:41Don't follow me!
00:55:46Oh, this could get interesting.
00:55:49Uh-huh.
00:56:02Look who's alone.
00:56:04No, just leave me alone.
00:56:06You're never going to win against James Thornton.
00:56:08He's my mother's best friend.
00:56:10You're going to lose everything.
00:56:12Poor babe.
00:56:13Still played by the big boys.
00:56:15James Thornton and his son have been playing you all along.
00:56:19Wait, what did you just say?
00:56:22James Thornton and his son?
00:56:24Wait, Jess, you didn't know?
00:56:26Daniel Thornton is his son.
00:56:30Oh, my God.
00:56:32I didn't know that.
00:56:33Now that I do.
00:56:36That's enough!
00:56:39Excuse me, Mr. Thornton.
00:56:41Crown Prince said the Thornton family.
00:56:52This man's been lying to you all along.
00:56:54Poor little girl's got no one to trust.
00:56:57Both of you, get out of here.
00:57:01Okay.
00:57:02Okay.
00:57:10Jess, I've been trying to tell you.
00:57:12Am I a joke to you?
00:57:14No, what do you mean?
00:57:15You and your father.
00:57:18You've been playing me this whole time.
00:57:21No, I've been standing by your side all the time, Jess.
00:57:24I can't trust you.
00:57:27You lied to me.
00:57:29You're right.
00:57:30You're right.
00:57:33I have been hiding things from you.
00:57:37You know what I haven't told you yet?
00:57:40Another big secret.
00:57:43Are you sure you want to hear this?
00:57:50The other big secret is,
00:57:52the first time we met isn't what you think it is.
00:57:56It was five years ago.
00:57:58Five years ago?
00:57:59Yes.
00:58:01At a party.
00:58:04I was drunk and I fell in a pool.
00:58:14Oh, thank God you're alive.
00:58:20I was drowning and you saved my life.
00:58:23But you won't remember that.
00:58:26But I will forever be grateful for what you did for me that day.
00:58:30That day?
00:58:32That was you?
00:58:33Yes.
00:58:34My father forbid me from seeing you.
00:58:37But I didn't care.
00:58:39I confronted him.
00:58:41You can't tell me what to do, Dad!
00:58:43You can't stop me from seeing her!
00:58:44I'm doing what's best for you, Daniel.
00:58:46That girl and all her family are nothing but trouble.
00:58:51And then he decided to tell me about everything he did to you and your mom.
00:58:55And I felt so guilty.
00:58:56It's okay.
00:59:00I was ashamed to approach you.
00:59:02I just didn't know how to face you without making things worse.
00:59:05And I thought the best thing to do was just leave you alone.
00:59:09No, I know.
00:59:10And then I heard about you being deported and I just couldn't let that happen.
00:59:13Well,
00:59:16I saved you.
00:59:18And you saved me.
00:59:22Because we just belong together.
00:59:25Okay.
00:59:29Ew.
00:59:30Corny.
00:59:33But just
00:59:36no more secrets.
00:59:38Okay?
00:59:40I promise.
00:59:42No more secrets.
00:59:56You're up early.
00:59:58Yeah.
00:59:59I'm gonna go pick your mom up from the airport.
01:00:02Better sooner than later.
01:00:07Gianna's just fixed me.
01:00:08She said that I have my first weekly exec meeting this morning.
01:00:13I should postpone it.
01:00:14No.
01:00:15You should definitely go to that.
01:00:17You need to look good in front of your board.
01:00:18Really?
01:00:19Yeah.
01:00:20I'm gonna go pick your mom up from the airport and I'll bring her straight home.
01:00:23I'm gonna go pick your mom up from the airport and I'll bring her straight to the office.
01:00:27Thanks.
01:00:28You're the best.
01:00:33Well, that went better than I thought.
01:00:35Don't underestimate yourself, Jess.
01:00:37You did great.
01:00:42Heya, Jess.
01:00:44What are you doing here?
01:00:49What are you doing here?
01:00:50I just wanted to share with you some interesting facts about your dear husband, Daniel Thornton.
01:00:56Gianna, can you wait outside a moment?
01:01:02Okay, I'm telling you now.
01:01:04Whatever bad, made-up facts that you've come to tell me about Daniel is not gonna work.
01:01:10Because Daniel already told me everything.
01:01:13Everything?
01:01:14Are you so sure?
01:01:16Yeah.
01:01:17Him and his father came clean about everything.
01:01:19There is nothing more to hide.
01:01:21And did they also tell you Daniel was supposed to marry his childhood sweetheart?
01:01:24What?
01:01:25Ashley Wimbledon.
01:01:27Heiress to the famous Wimbledon family.
01:01:30Ring any bells?
01:01:31Ashley.
01:01:35Ashley.
01:01:37Who is Ashley?
01:01:39I heard you guys talking about her earlier.
01:01:42Oh, she's just an old childhood friend.
01:01:46They grew up and went to law school together.
01:01:49And she had Daniel's first kiss.
01:01:55He did mention Ashley.
01:02:00He did?
01:02:01Yeah, but he's not gonna marry her.
01:02:04I remember that conversation.
01:02:09Daniel's picking my mother up from the airport himself.
01:02:12I'll be seeing her soon.
01:02:13What are you laughing about?
01:02:19Daniel is bringing her back, babe.
01:02:22You're not gonna see her.
01:02:27After years of separation with your mother,
01:02:30Daniel didn't let you go along with him to meet with her?
01:02:33And what kind of a husband does that?
01:02:35I had an early meeting this morning and Daniel didn't want me to worry.
01:02:39So easily manipulated.
01:02:41So easily manipulated, Jess.
01:02:45Just like old times.
01:02:47Yeah, well, I don't believe a word you say.
01:02:52Daniel isn't gonna bring her back.
01:02:55Care to find out together?
01:03:04Are you sure everything is taken care of?
01:03:06Yes.
01:03:07You're free to live in this country.
01:03:10Clara, I also want to apologize for everything you went through years ago.
01:03:14I'm deeply sorry.
01:03:15Well, he did bring me back here.
01:03:17Right now, I just want to see my daughter.
01:03:20We'll go to her.
01:03:21Not so fast, Danny boy.
01:03:26You're too late, Lisa.
01:03:28Clara's here to claim Robert's inheritance back.
01:03:30Oh, I don't think so.
01:03:32Agents, do your thing.
01:03:34Wait.
01:03:35This is a mistake.
01:03:36No.
01:03:37Clara's got past customs.
01:03:38She can stay.
01:03:39Sweetheart, you really think those little documents can stop this?
01:03:43I don't think so.
01:03:44Back off, Lisa.
01:03:45Watch it, pretty boy.
01:03:47Jess!
01:03:48Mom!
01:03:49Mom!
01:03:50What are you doing?
01:03:51Where are they taking my mother?
01:03:52Mom, I'll bring her back, I promise.
01:03:54Just stay strong.
01:03:56Sis, it looks like you've been screwed by the Thorntons again.
01:03:59Adrienne, you sabotaged this.
01:04:01You'll pay for this.
01:04:03See, babe?
01:04:04I told you he's not bringing her back.
01:04:06You said everything was taken care of.
01:04:08Jess, it's not me.
01:04:09It's them.
01:04:10You're lying, Daniel.
01:04:11Why don't you ask him about that thing we talked about?
01:04:13Jess.
01:04:17Jess.
01:04:18He said that you were going to marry Ashley.
01:04:20Okay, so it's true.
01:04:22Jess, can we just talk about this?
01:04:25No.
01:04:26No, no, no, no.
01:04:27The thing is, Daniel, you promised me no more secrets.
01:04:30I can't trust you anymore.
01:04:32Jess!
01:04:33It's just...
01:04:34Looks like you lost, Daniel.
01:04:36You're never getting her back.
01:04:59Oh, thank God you're alive.
01:05:05Huh?
01:05:27Ted, what's the problem with Clara?
01:05:29Her paperwork was for us.
01:05:30You're right, boss.
01:05:31I checked with customers in the USCIS,
01:05:33and they both confirm that she legally entered the country.
01:05:36They're good.
01:05:37But it is us.
01:05:41Agents, do your thing.
01:05:43Wait.
01:05:44What?
01:05:45This is a mistake.
01:05:46No.
01:05:47Jess.
01:05:48Jess, baby!
01:05:49Mom!
01:05:52The ICE agents weren't real.
01:05:54They were hired by Adrian and Lisa to kidnap Clara.
01:05:57Hold on a sec.
01:05:58Hold on a sec.
01:06:02You're right, boss.
01:06:03We found out those people want her.
01:06:05What should we do?
01:06:07I need to find out where they took them.
01:06:09Use all our contacts.
01:06:10I'm not gonna let them get away with this.
01:06:12On it, boss.
01:06:21Well, well, well, Clara.
01:06:24Bet you didn't expect to see me again, did you?
01:06:27We finally have what it takes to get it all back?
01:06:30Don't look at me like that.
01:06:31You disgust me.
01:06:38Jess, we need to talk.
01:06:40I don't want to talk to you.
01:06:41It's about your mom.
01:06:43I think she was kidnapped by Adrian and Lisa's people.
01:06:45The ICE agents weren't real.
01:06:48What are you talking about?
01:06:50I spoke to Ted.
01:06:51He told me that Clara legally came into the country.
01:06:54It was a setup.
01:06:56Do you actually expect me to believe that?
01:06:59After all the lies?
01:07:00You're so full of shit, Daniel!
01:07:09Hello, bastard child.
01:07:11Yes, we have your mother.
01:07:13And if you ever want to see her again,
01:07:15follow the directions to the address that we just sent you.
01:07:18And don't bring anyone.
01:07:19Especially Daniel.
01:07:24Let me come with you.
01:07:25No, they want me alone.
01:07:26I don't want to risk-
01:07:27Jess?
01:07:28Don't follow me!
01:07:29I will not let you do this alone.
01:07:37Mom?
01:07:38Bastard child, over here.
01:07:41Let her go.
01:07:42This has gone on far enough.
01:07:44Not so fast, sis.
01:07:46This is only the beginning.
01:07:51You sign this,
01:07:53we let her go.
01:07:56And what is it?
01:07:57An agreement signing everything over to us.
01:08:00The house,
01:08:02company,
01:08:04everything.
01:08:12It's signed?
01:08:14No, let her go.
01:08:16God, you are so naive, sis!
01:08:20What more do you want?
01:08:22Get down on your knees and show that you know your place.
01:08:29Get down on your knees and show that you know your place.
01:08:34Wait.
01:08:39That's better.
01:08:47Now bark like a dog.
01:08:52Come on.
01:08:57That's enough, Kristen.
01:09:03We're getting out of here, Monk.
01:09:10Let's get her out of here.
01:09:12Come on, let's go.
01:09:14No, Daniel!
01:09:18I can't.
01:09:20Monk, we need to finish this.
01:09:21Monk, we gotta go.
01:09:22Come on.
01:09:24Daniel!
01:09:30Jess.
01:09:33Don't try and talk to the police.
01:09:35They're on their way.
01:09:36Jess.
01:09:38I'm so sorry.
01:09:39Why are you apologizing?
01:09:41Just don't move.
01:09:50Well, the doctor said it was nothing serious, so...
01:09:53you'll be out of here soon.
01:09:55Jess, I just want to apologize.
01:09:57I am so sorry.
01:09:59Daniel, what are you apologizing for?
01:10:02You saved my mom, you saved us.
01:10:07Hello again, Mr. Thornton.
01:10:09Officer, you're here.
01:10:11Yes.
01:10:12You promised me last week we'd get that interview done.
01:10:15Officer, my husband is injured.
01:10:18He's literally lying in bed.
01:10:20Well, that doesn't change the requirements.
01:10:23Jess, it's okay.
01:10:26We can do the interview.
01:10:31We can do the interview.
01:10:34Are you insane?
01:10:36We haven't rehearsed this.
01:10:38Jess, when you see,
01:10:42Jess, when you see,
01:10:44we've been rehearsing this whole Christmas.
01:10:47There's no better time to do this.
01:10:49You're right.
01:10:52We're ready, officer.
01:10:54Let's start with the question I asked you last week.
01:10:57When did you two first meet?
01:10:59Five years and four months ago.
01:11:01I don't understand.
01:11:03Last time you said it was six months ago
01:11:06when the other one said it was eight months ago.
01:11:08We lied, officer.
01:11:10But it was five years ago at a pool party.
01:11:14And we had our first kiss when we first met.
01:11:19It sounds pretty far-fetched.
01:11:22But for some reason,
01:11:24I want to give you two the benefit of the doubt.
01:11:29It sounds pretty far-fetched.
01:11:32But for some reason,
01:11:34I want to give you two the benefit of the doubt.
01:11:37Daniel risked his life to save me and my mother.
01:11:40There's nothing more he needs to do to prove his love for me.
01:11:44One last question.
01:11:46How frequently have you two spent the night together in the past week?
01:11:56Relax.
01:11:57I can tell it's been at least three times.
01:12:00Right, well, that's my interview done.
01:12:03You two are quite the couple.
01:12:05Thank you, officer.
01:12:07Daniel! Daniel!
01:12:09She's coming!
01:12:10Who's coming?
01:12:18Your fiancé.
01:12:19That's who.
01:12:25Your fiancé.
01:12:26That's who.
01:12:28Ashley.
01:12:29I guess I'm not done yet.
01:12:31You betrayed my family's trust, Daniel.
01:12:34Ashley, please.
01:12:37Can't we talk about this?
01:12:39So you're Jessica Miller, huh?
01:12:41Adrian's told me all about you.
01:12:44I don't know what Adrian told you,
01:12:47but it's not what you think.
01:12:49Daniel was supposed to marry me,
01:12:52and then you just waltzed in and ruined everything.
01:12:55Ashley, our engagement was long over before Jessica came to the picture.
01:13:01Oh, I see.
01:13:05You think this is over.
01:13:08I'm the heiress of the Wimbledon family.
01:13:12The Thornton name is as good as ruined.
01:13:16You can't do that, Ashley.
01:13:22Watch me.
01:13:25Watch me.
01:13:28You're not the only heiress here.
01:13:34I own Miller Empire.
01:13:37And if you come for the Thorntons,
01:13:40the Miller Empire is going to come for you so hard.
01:13:49You've got guts, Jessica.
01:13:52I like you.
01:13:56I gotta tell you, I didn't expect that.
01:13:59This is so much better than watching TV.
01:14:01Glad to see you've replaced me with someone with a little fire, Daniel.
01:14:10I always knew Daniel didn't love me,
01:14:13but he was too afraid of his father to ever go after his true love.
01:14:18But I guess I'm happy
01:14:21that he's found someone who wants the same things as him.
01:14:26So...
01:14:29that's it?
01:14:31That's it.
01:14:35Enjoy your happy ending, darling.
01:14:41Andrea, bring the car around.
01:14:46Did that actually just happen?
01:14:48Yeah.
01:14:50Wow.
01:14:51You two really don't let anyone or anything get in the way of true love.
01:14:57Let's see that come.
01:15:01This is all your fault, Mom.
01:15:02If you wouldn't have been so reckless, then maybe we wouldn't be in this mess.
01:15:05Don't put all the blame on me.
01:15:06You're just as much a part of this as I am.
01:15:08Where is Ashley? She should be here by now.
01:15:12Miss me?
01:15:13Where have you been?
01:15:14Just tying up a few loose ends.
01:15:17Don't worry about it.
01:15:18Everything's going according to plan.
01:15:20Plan?
01:15:21What plan? Everything's falling apart.
01:15:34What did you do, Adrian?
01:15:36Well, me myself, I've done nothing illegal.
01:15:39You two on the other hand, that's a different story.
01:15:43You set us up!
01:15:45I'm just ensuring my own safety.
01:15:48After all, I kept my hands clean.
01:15:56You're not gonna get away with this, asshole!
01:15:59I already have.
01:16:07I remember when this place was filled with warmth and laughter.
01:16:11Used to be a real family home back then.
01:16:14Then things just went south.
01:16:16Things will be fine again, Mom, I promise.
01:16:19We'll turn this into a good family house.
01:16:22No more hatred, no more backstabbing.
01:16:25I missed you every single day, Jess.
01:16:28I'm so sorry for everything both of us had to go through.
01:16:35Jessica?
01:16:36Well?
01:16:38I am so sorry for everything that I've done to you both.
01:16:43I was wrong.
01:16:44And I know I can never fully make up for it.
01:16:48But I want to try.
01:16:49James, you kept us apart for so many years.
01:16:52It's gonna be hard to forgive and forget.
01:16:54I know, Clara.
01:16:59Jess, are you alright?
01:17:03Yeah, I know, I'm... I'm fine.
01:17:06You know, I just feel...
01:17:09Nauseous, that's all.
01:17:11Have you been getting any other symptoms like dizziness or fatigue?
01:17:17Yeah, but I just thought that was from all the stress.
01:17:23Sweetheart, you're pregnant.
01:17:26Really?
01:17:27You're showing all the signs, Jess.
01:17:32We're gonna have a baby!
01:17:34Wait, that means I'm gonna be a grandpa!
01:17:39Yeah!
01:17:48Daniel.
01:17:51There's something you need to do.
01:17:55What's this?
01:17:56This is a ring your grandma left.
01:17:59And I think this is the perfect time to use it.
01:18:04Go get it.
01:18:05I'm gonna do this?
01:18:06Yeah, go.
01:18:09Aww.
01:18:17Jess?
01:18:18Jess!
01:18:22Jess, I know we've only ever spent time together a week during Christmas.
01:18:25And we've been through so much in that time.
01:18:28And over the past five years, all I've wanted to do is be with you.
01:18:33And I've had to endure the pain of that not being possible.
01:18:36I want to spend every waking moment in time with you.
01:18:39What I'm trying to say is, Jess...
01:18:45Will you marry me?
01:18:49For real this time.
01:18:51Yes, Daniel! Yes, I will marry you! Yes!
01:18:54Really?
01:18:55Yes!
01:19:06Daniel.
01:19:07What?
01:19:0818,000 yuan of dowries?
01:19:10Vani, you have a paralyzed mom and a lousy gambling dad to your family.
01:19:14I'm a good match way out of your league.
01:19:16You should send me a car as dowries instead of asking me for dowries.
01:19:19But I earn more than you.
01:19:21And I paid the down payment of the matrimonial house.
01:19:24Your parents' names are on the house property certificate.
01:19:27And now you ask me for a car?
01:19:29I have no money.
01:19:31I don't even have a car.
01:19:33I have no money.
01:19:39Why don't you ask your family for the money?
01:19:41If they don't give, take it as a loan.
01:19:44We can pay them back after we get married.
01:19:48Vani, I really want to marry you.
01:19:51Can't you just do more for our future life?
01:19:54Huh?
01:19:55Chad, don't get me wrong.
01:19:58I'm here to ask for dowries, not give out.
01:20:01Vani, you'd better take the offer.
01:20:03It is you eager to marry out, saying your mom is seriously ill,
01:20:06and you need a marriage to relieve her worries.
01:20:08Look at you, the least eligible woman.
01:20:10I pity you so that I offer to marry you.
01:20:12If you don't buy me a car, the marriage is off the table.
01:20:14Right.
01:20:15I'm desperate to get married, but not desperate enough to marry you.
01:20:18You!
01:20:21If I won't marry you, who would like to be with you?
01:20:30Hey dude, are you single?
01:20:32Do you mind having a wife?
01:20:33Get on board and go register now.
01:20:35I'd like to give it a shot.
01:20:36Anyhow, I don't have a wife.
01:20:39Do you see that?
01:20:40He wanna marry me.
01:20:43Scumbag.
01:20:52I'm married?
01:20:55Pack your things tonight and move to my, our home.
01:20:59Where?
01:21:01So, we are living together?
01:21:03What are you thinking about?
01:21:05We're married, it's natural for us to live together.
01:21:09Well, I'm John, an office worker.
01:21:13I'm usually busy at work.
01:21:15When you move in, you don't need to take care of me.
01:21:17I can support you with my salary.
01:21:19I have to work now, see you then.
01:21:20I'll pick you up after work.
01:21:22I see, we are working slaves.
01:21:24It's not easy to make a living.
01:21:25Just go back to work.
01:21:26How do you go home?
01:21:27Why not take a taxi?
01:21:28I'll pay for it.
01:21:29There are short bikes at the gate.
01:21:30I can ride one.
01:21:31Working slave?
01:21:32My grandma chose her to be my wife.
01:21:34She seems to be interesting for now.
01:21:37I fainted last time.
01:21:38It's her saved me.
01:21:40After I left the hospital, she knew I lived alone and made many calls to cheer me up.
01:21:45John, she's the kindest girl I've ever met.
01:21:48You'll love her when you see her.
01:21:50Grandma, we are in a new era.
01:21:52Why do you wanna arrange marriage for me?
01:21:53What?
01:21:54I got her schedule yesterday.
01:21:56I want you to meet her.
01:21:57If you think she's a good girl, you can develop your relationship.
01:22:01After marriage?
01:22:02Hear me out.
01:22:03If you don't give it a shot, you'll see my scenery casket when you get back.
01:22:08Boss, we've got 1,000-acre land of suburb of eastern China.
01:22:12Construction will be started in the middle of this month.
01:22:14Central Bank is asking us for a loan.
01:22:18Yes.
01:22:19Well...
01:22:26That's all for today.
01:22:27I'm going to pick up my wife home.
01:22:29Pick up your wife?
01:22:30What? Our boss is married?
01:22:35What gift should I give to a girl on our first date?
01:22:38The first date?
01:22:39A lightning marriage?
01:22:44I think you're suitable for our project in Africa.
01:22:47Do you think so?
01:22:48Sorry, boss. I won't do it again.
01:22:49Just answer my question. No more bullshit.
01:22:52I think if you're not familiar with each other,
01:22:55it's better to send flowers.
01:22:57Half an hour.
01:22:58In just half an hour, I'll put the imported roses to the given location.
01:23:02Good.
01:23:04From now on, you drive my car and I'll drive yours.
01:23:11What?
01:23:15What's wrong with Mr. Lu?
01:23:17He wanna drive my...
01:23:19old Mercedes?
01:23:20Instead of his fancy Phantom?
01:23:26Hey!
01:23:27Hey, what are you doing?
01:23:30Good dogs don't get underfoot.
01:23:32Hey, you! Get out of my way!
01:23:35Oops.
