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

00:52:26dad has a few rich friends.
00:52:30And James Thornton
00:52:32is here.
00:52:34I know you don't want to see him.
00:52:36But Jess,
00:52:38my dad's here.
00:52:40I'll see you in three hours later.
00:52:42Okay.
00:52:44The bidding's about to start.
00:52:50Oh, that bitch is here!

00:53:00with money.
00:53:02Here with money? What money?
00:53:04I haven't gotten my inheritance back yet.
00:53:06Yeah, I know.

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