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

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