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

00:53:48Where did they get that money from?
00:53:50I don't know,
00:53:51but they're definitely trying to humiliate you here.
00:53:53Really?
00:53:54But I don't even care about this business.
00:53:57I don't care about this bit.
00:53:59Five million dollars!

00:54:28Did that just happen?

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