00:00:00Ho, ho, ho! I have a gift for you, Jessica.
00:00:10Cheers. May it be full of surprises.
00:00:13Ho, ho, ho! I have a gift for you, Jessica.
00:00:17You have inherited this mansion, along with your father's business, empire, and assets worth over a billion dollars.
00:00:24I just need a signature from you. Oh, and a hundred and five million dollars in cash.
00:00:30Ho, ho, ho! We're rich!
00:00:34Let me hold on to you a bit for you, baby.
00:00:37You know, my whole life, I grew up in foster care, moving from place to place, and now I finally have a place that I can call home.
00:00:49It must feel great to win the jackpot.
00:00:51No, my only wish is to reunite with my mother.
00:00:55You bastard child! You will never reunite with your mother. We made sure that that whore is gone forever.
00:01:03My mother is gone because of you?
00:01:05Well, we had a little help from James Thornton, the most powerful man in the Thornton family.
00:01:12Time for you to go back to your poor little country, sis.
00:01:15Yes, ma'am.
00:01:16USCIS. Your visa expired years ago. You're being deported.
00:01:20What? No, there must be some mistake here. Adrian, didn't you help me file my immigration paperwork?
00:01:26Whoops. Well, I guess I screwed up.
00:01:29What?
00:01:31Hey, baby.
00:01:33Adrian, are you cheating on me? With her?
00:01:37Choose the right side, babe. You'll never win against them.
00:01:40That's true.
00:01:42According to the terms of the will, non-citizens are not eligible to inherit the estate.
00:01:47Everything will pass through your next of kin, Lisa and Kristen Miller.
00:01:52You thought you could get rich overnight? Keep dreaming.
00:01:57Seriously? Bon voyage, half-sis.
00:02:07The boss is urgent. They're about to deport a woman named Jessica Miller.
00:02:12Jessica Miller?
00:02:15It's her.
00:02:18Oh, my God.
00:02:24Oh, thank God you're alive.
00:02:26She's so beautiful and kind. The girl I've always dreamed of.
00:02:30She saved my life once. I owe her.
00:02:36Wait, wait, wait.
00:02:38Jessica?
00:02:40Do I know you?
00:02:42She doesn't remember me.
00:02:47I'm Daniel. You're a lawyer.
00:02:50Just pretend we know each other. If I can get you out of here.
00:02:53We've spoken to the judge, and Miss Miller should be released immediately.
00:02:57We can't deport her.
00:02:59She is about to marry a U.S. citizen.
00:03:03Who's the lucky guy?
00:03:05I am. I'm marrying her.
00:03:13A fake marriage won't save her.
00:03:15Our marriage is real.
00:03:17A hundred percent real.
00:03:19Prove it, then.
00:03:26That's it? You call that a kiss?
00:03:41Need more proof, officer?
00:03:43Look, this guy is a lawyer to some of the most important families in town.
00:03:47And if you don't let her go, then he'll make sure you lose your damn job.
00:03:51Fine, you can have her.
00:03:53Thank you, officer.
00:03:58Guys, I think we're good.
00:04:01It's not over.
00:04:05We'll be checking your marital status and conducting interviews.
00:04:08And there are a few very specific requirements you should know.
00:04:12Make sure you two are staying in the same house and sleeping in the same bed.
00:04:16Or it's game over.
00:04:20Well...
00:04:23Thank you...
00:04:25for the rescue.
00:04:27Oh, it's no problem.
00:04:29But, um...
00:04:31Daniel...
00:04:33Would you...
00:04:35Would you marry me?
00:04:37Oh, Jessica, I've waited for this moment for five years.
00:04:40I mean, it would only be a contract marriage.
00:04:43But once I get my green card,
00:04:46I'll inherit my father's business empire and...
00:04:49I'll share half of it with you.
00:04:52Even your misunderstanding looks so cute.
00:04:54I only want you, Jessica.
00:04:56But, before I get my green card,
00:04:59you're gonna have to help me deal with my stepsister and her mom.
00:05:03They're trying to get rid of me.
00:05:05And they've already stolen my fortune.
00:05:08And they made my mother disappear.
00:05:09Deal.
00:05:11What?
00:05:13That's it?
00:05:16This lily stands for loyalties and new beginnings.
00:05:20Something that I want with you.
00:05:22Now, I know it's rushed.
00:05:25But I promise you,
00:05:27I will buy you a proper ring soon.
00:05:30From now on, let's make every Christmas our own.
00:05:33To fill it with memories.
00:05:45You can't...
00:05:47You can't do this to me.
00:05:49You can't do this to me.
00:05:51You can't do this to me.
00:05:53You can't do this to me.
00:05:55You can't do this to me.
00:05:57You can't do this to me.
00:05:59You can't do this.
00:06:00Jess, it's okay.
00:06:01Just wait here.
00:06:02I'll handle it.
00:06:08What?
00:06:10Why are you helping that girl?
00:06:12Kristen Miller is our ally.
00:06:14And she wants her the hell out of this picture.
00:06:16It's too late, Dad.
00:06:17We already got married.
00:06:19Are you insane?
00:06:21Did you forget you're supposed to marry Ashley?
00:06:25Daniel...
00:06:274 and 10.
00:06:28My mother is gone because of you?
00:06:30Well, we had a little help from James Thornton.
00:06:33The most powerful man in the Thornton family.
00:06:37Wait.
00:06:38I recognize that face.
00:06:40From the newspaper, that was James Thornton.
00:06:43From the Thornton family.
00:06:45The family responsible for my mother's disappearance.
00:06:52Stop telling me what I can and cannot do.
00:06:54She saved my life.
00:06:55I owe it to her.
00:06:56Blow the hell up, Daniel.
00:06:58You need to remember your position as the heir to our family.
00:07:02And you need to divorce that girl.
00:07:04Now.
00:07:05I'm doing all of this to clean your mess up.
00:07:08Just leave us alone.
00:07:16Sorry about that.
00:07:18Is your name...
00:07:20Daniel Thornton?
00:07:22Yeah.
00:07:24The Thornton family are responsible for the disappearance of my mother.
00:07:29I have been searching for her my entire life.
00:07:33Yes.
00:07:35I can explain.
00:07:36I'm not marrying Thornton.
00:07:37Wait, wait, wait. Jess, Jess.
00:07:39I'm not who you think I am.
00:07:41I have nothing to do with that family.
00:07:42Oh, really? Because your name is right here.
00:07:44On the marriage certificate.
00:07:47I share the last name as Thornton.
00:07:49But I am not one of them.
00:07:51Thornton is a common name.
00:07:52Just an ordinary guy.
00:07:53Really? Well, I don't believe you.
00:07:55I saw you talking to James Thornton.
00:07:58Is he your father?
00:08:02Is he your father?
00:08:03No, he's not my father.
00:08:04He was threatening to drive you out of the country.
00:08:06And I was not going to have anything to do with it.
00:08:08Jess.
00:08:09I'm on your side.
00:08:11You're not one of them.
00:08:14I'm sorry.
00:08:17It's okay.
00:08:18Don't worry about it.
00:08:23Well, you have a nice apartment.
00:08:26Welcome.
00:08:29Is that your Labrador?
00:08:30It looks exactly like mine.
00:08:32I got mine as a Christmas present when I was nine.
00:08:34No way.
00:08:35I got mine as a Christmas present when I was nine.
00:08:37That's crazy.
00:08:43Jess, we're going to have to sleep in the same room together just in case immigration ambush us.
00:08:47Yeah, but are you sure you're okay sleeping on the carpet?
00:08:50I mean, you've done so much for me already and I just...
00:08:53Jess, please, I insist.
00:08:55We made a deal, remember?
00:08:57I also want to thank you for giving me the chance to get rich.
00:09:03It's okay, Daniel.
00:09:20Jess.
00:09:33Jess.
00:09:36She's buying on me.
00:09:39No.
00:09:40No.
00:09:41No, no, no.
00:09:42I was just passing by and just...
00:09:45Do you need anything?
00:09:47I was joking.
00:09:48Yeah, could you pass me the towel?
00:09:51It's just hanging up next to the door.
00:09:54Yeah, sure, sure.
00:09:59Thanks.
00:10:09Oh my God.
00:10:10What?
00:10:11I just got fired.
00:10:12What?
00:10:15Wait, Jess, let me go with you.
00:10:18What?
00:10:20Yeah.
00:10:32Sam, please, don't fire me.
00:10:34I'm sorry, Jess, but your immigration issue put us in a tough spot.
00:10:40I've worked for this company for years.
00:10:43I'm sorry, Jess, there's nothing I can do.
00:10:48I'm sorry.
00:10:54Look who's here.
00:10:55Someone who just got fired.
00:10:58This suits you.
00:11:03It was you.
00:11:05I should have known you were behind this.
00:11:07I'm not going to let you stay here and ruin things.
00:11:09I'm going to take away everything you have, sister.
00:11:13Uh, you just made a big mistake, sir.
00:11:18Who are you?
00:11:19My name is Daniel Thornton, son of James Thornton, the chairman of Thornton Enterprise.
00:11:26Oh, uh, Mr. Thornton, uh, welcome.
00:11:31What brings you here?
00:11:34Well, I have some good news for you.
00:11:37Jessica Miller, she's just closed a billion dollar deal.
00:11:42Take a look.
00:11:54Oh, my God.
00:11:59It's real.
00:12:01Absolutely.
00:12:02With her hard work and dedication, she's made this possible.
00:12:06It's a real shame you're going to lose such a valuable employee.
00:12:10Oh, uh, Mr. Thornton, um, I have made a huge mistake.
00:12:16Uh, Jessica will stay.
00:12:20Good.
00:12:22And, uh, make sure nobody knows we had this conversation.
00:12:30Jessica!
00:12:31You should have told me!
00:12:36What are you talking about, Sam?
00:12:38Jessica!
00:12:39You secured a huge deal for the company!
00:12:43Did you not just fire her?
00:12:45I changed my mind.
00:12:48Jessica's staying.
00:12:49Actually, she's being promoted to sales manager.
00:12:54Can't afford to lose someone as valuable as like her.
00:12:58Great.
00:12:59Thanks, Sam.
00:13:01This is not over.
00:13:07I can't believe it.
00:13:08Jessica kept her job and she gets promoted.
00:13:11Don't worry, Lisa.
00:13:13I just spoke with James Thornton and he had the lawyer change the will in our favor.
00:13:18Jessica will get nothing.
00:13:20Oh, my God.
00:13:22That's fantastic.
00:13:25No way.
00:13:32Jessica, how's work?
00:13:35Did you get your job back?
00:13:37Daniel, I need a lawyer.
00:13:41Well, look who decided to show up.
00:13:45Too bad for you, Jess.
00:13:46Turns out Daddy's will left you nothing.
00:13:49I knew all along Robert wouldn't leave anything for this little, pathetic, bastard child.
00:13:56I'm sorry.
00:13:57I'm sorry.
00:13:58I'm sorry.
00:13:59I'm sorry.
00:14:00I'm sorry.
00:14:01I'm sorry.
00:14:02I'm sorry.
00:14:03I'm sorry.
00:14:04I'm sorry.
00:14:05I'm sorry.
00:14:06I'm sorry.
00:14:07I'm sorry.
00:14:08I'm sorry.
00:14:10You are out of luck.
00:14:11Well, that's a lie.
00:14:13You showed me the will.
00:14:15And I signed the documents.
00:14:17I'm sorry, Jessica.
00:14:19I've just discovered a revised will that supports Kristen and Lisa's claims.
00:14:27Mr. Thornton.
00:14:28Who is this?
00:14:29He's my lawyer.
00:14:30And a damn good one.
00:14:32Oh.
00:14:33You know, Jess, I didn't realize you had enough money to pay for a fancy little lawyer.
00:14:38You sleep with him?
00:14:40Patrick, can I have a word with you outside?
00:14:44Talk all you want.
00:14:45It won't change anything.
00:14:54All right, Patrick.
00:14:56I'm going to keep this short and sweet.
00:14:58I know you changed the will to favor Kristen and Lisa.
00:15:00I know what you're talking about, Mr. Thornton.
00:15:03The revised will's solid.
00:15:05Ted found an email exchange with my father.
00:15:07Here.
00:15:08Take a look.
00:15:10You've been caught, Patrick.
00:15:12Honor of the will, I'll report you to the Bar Association.
00:15:15You'll lose your license and any chance of practicing law or gain.
00:15:18That goes against your father's wishes.
00:15:20You don't understand the position he put me in.
00:15:22I'll deal with my father.
00:15:23Don't you worry about that.
00:15:26You just worry about doing the right thing.
00:15:33Um, this revised will's a fake.
00:15:36The original will's stamped.
00:15:37What the hell are you doing?
00:15:38He's doing the right thing.
00:15:42Jessica, you've gotten your inheritance back.
00:15:45Congratulations.
00:15:47Oh, my God.
00:15:50Patrick, do what you are supposed to do
00:15:53or James will make sure you face the consequences.
00:15:58Don't listen to him, Patrick.
00:16:00I'll deal with James Thornton.
00:16:02Who the hell do you think you are?
00:16:04James Thornton is one of the most powerful men in this town.
00:16:08I sure can.
00:16:09Isn't that right, Patrick?
00:16:11Yes.
00:16:12The original will stands.
00:16:14No, you are crazy.
00:16:16No, I'm not.
00:16:17According to the original will, Jessica stands to inherit this mansion.
00:16:21Kristen, you're out.
00:16:24I think you two should leave.
00:16:25You homewrecker.
00:16:27Just like your mother.
00:16:29I will not allow violence.
00:16:32I didn't come here to argue over a house and assets.
00:16:37I came here to be recognized as an actual member of this family.
00:16:41It's easy for you to say you're getting everything.
00:16:43You don't know how lucky you are, Lisa.
00:16:45You grew up with a father who loved you.
00:16:48I had none.
00:16:49And you took my mother away from me
00:16:52and I still don't know where she is.
00:16:55You two don't deserve this mansion.
00:16:58And I would rather give it away to charity
00:17:01than to see the two of you living in it.
00:17:10You two should pack your things up.
00:17:12You have one week to leave this house.
00:17:22What the hell were you thinking?
00:17:24Sabotaging my plan?
00:17:26I was just doing the right thing.
00:17:28The right thing?
00:17:29Going against me?
00:17:31Kristen Miller has got no power anymore.
00:17:34Her game is over.
00:17:35I'm sure you didn't come all this way just to argue with me.
00:17:39So what do you want?
00:17:41I just want Jessica to get her mom back.
00:17:45Interesting.
00:17:49What's in it for me?
00:17:51Once Jessica gets her mom back,
00:17:54I'll do whatever you want.
00:17:55Whatever I want?
00:17:57Like what exactly?
00:17:59I'll marry Ashley.
00:18:02You'll marry Ashley?
00:18:04Yeah.
00:18:05You're willing to do that?
00:18:07Yeah, I am.
00:18:10But only if she's reunited with her mother.
00:18:14Okay, deal.
00:18:17I'll make the arrangements.
00:18:19So you're really in love with this one, huh?
00:18:21Yeah, I am.
00:18:25Okay, good.
00:18:27I sure hope she's worth it.
00:18:29She is.
00:18:34What's wrong?
00:18:36We have...
00:18:38a guest.
00:18:40Mr. Thornton.
00:18:42Good to see you again.
00:18:43Interview time.
00:18:45Great.
00:18:48When did you two meet?
00:18:50We met at a friend's party two years ago.
00:18:54What do you say, Jessica?
00:18:57Oh, yeah, yeah.
00:18:59Interesting.
00:19:01And when did you decide to get married?
00:19:04Eight months ago.
00:19:06Six months or eight months? Which one is it?
00:19:08Yeah, eight months ago.
00:19:09Sorry, I just...
00:19:11Sorry, I'm always getting mixed up.
00:19:13Sure.
00:19:15Easy mistake to make.
00:19:17And what's your anniversary date?
00:19:19March 15th.
00:19:21March 15th?
00:19:23All right.
00:19:29That's it?
00:19:30Yes, Mr. Thornton.
00:19:32I have everything I need.
00:19:34I'll report back to the judges.
00:19:38Oh, wait.
00:19:39This.
00:19:42How did we do in there?
00:19:46It was...
00:19:48pretty bad.
00:19:50Look.
00:19:52I'm the son of James Thornton.
00:19:54I know who you are.
00:19:57Okay.
00:20:00You want to bribe me?
00:20:03Yes.
00:20:04I can't be bribed.
00:20:06Here's one million dollars.
00:20:12Two million dollars.
00:20:14Right.
00:20:18Three million dollars.
00:20:21Tempting.
00:20:22But like I said, you can't bribe me.
00:20:24Please.
00:20:25Can you just give us one more week to prepare?
00:20:28I really want to be with this woman.
00:20:30She means the world to me.
00:20:31She saved my life.
00:20:33I'm not going to take your money, but I'll give you one week.
00:20:36Make it count.
00:20:39Next time, I want to see some genuine affection between you two.
00:20:42If anything seems a bit off, your game's up.
00:20:45Of course.
00:20:46And...
00:20:47one more thing.
00:20:49I'm telling you two haven't had sex yet.
00:20:52I'm that good, Mr. Daniel.
00:20:55Don't try and fool me.
00:21:01She gave us another chance.
00:21:02Oh, thank God.
00:21:03We have one week to get our story straight.
00:21:07Thank you, Daniel.
00:21:09You've been very, very helpful today.
00:21:20Now, I wanted to make our first Christmas special,
00:21:24so I did a little digging, and I found this.
00:21:28This tree is amazing.
00:21:35What happened?
00:21:38Let me have a look.
00:21:41What happened?
00:21:43What happened?
00:21:45What happened?
00:21:47What happened?
00:21:49What happened?
00:22:13Um...
00:22:15I have a festive gift for you two.
00:22:27Wow.
00:22:29Jess, you look gorgeous.
00:22:37And then I told him that's not how you negotiate.
00:22:40You did it!
00:22:41You did it.
00:22:45You did it.
00:23:15This could be wrong.
00:23:17Maybe.
00:23:19Maybe not.
00:23:39Don't die.
00:23:41Don't die.
00:23:43Now that is how you negotiate.
00:23:48You're a learning fan.
00:24:03I'm stuck.
00:24:05Hold on, I got this.
00:24:13Hold on, I got this.
00:24:43I'm stuck.
00:25:04How much looks further?
00:25:07How much looks further?
00:25:09Oh, I've seen this before in the magazine.
00:25:13It looks like one of those
00:25:17Thornton family watches.
00:25:21Is it real?
00:25:23No, it's fake.
00:25:29You wear a fake watch?
00:25:31Yeah.
00:25:40I'm so happy, Jess.
00:25:47There's also something I need to tell you about your mom.
00:25:51Oh my god, did I just sleep with Daniel last night?
00:26:11I told him it would only be a contract marriage.
00:26:22Morning.
00:26:23This is the most beautiful morning that I've ever had.
00:26:26Daniel, I'm so sorry about last night.
00:26:31It wasn't supposed to happen and I promise it will never happen again.
00:26:38She didn't mean it.
00:26:40Oh, Jessica, last night was amazing.
00:26:46Yeah, Jess, I get it.
00:26:49It was a one-time thing.
00:26:54Yeah, just a one-time thing.
00:26:58Yeah.
00:27:00Anyway, it's your big day today.
00:27:04You're the new CEO of the Miller Empire.
00:27:08Thank you for the reminder.
00:27:13Now that you mention it, I'm really scared.
00:27:16No, Jess, I didn't mean it like that.
00:27:20What I was meant to say is I'm going to help you.
00:27:30I don't know what to do, Mother. That bitch is kicking us out.
00:27:33We still have a chance.
00:27:35That bastard child needs a unanimous vote from the board to be chosen as the next CEO.
00:27:41So we just need a board member to back this up.
00:27:44I will call Richard. Everyone respects Richard's vote.
00:27:47And I will make sure he doesn't vote for her.
00:27:50And I'll dig up all the dirt I can find on her.
00:27:53You go, girl.
00:28:04These clothes are beautiful, but very expensive.
00:28:12Like this one. That is $9,000.
00:28:16Jess, don't worry about it. It's on me.
00:28:20Look at it as my first gift to my wife.
00:28:24Daniel, I can't let you pay for this.
00:28:27Look, Jess, you're going to be a CEO, which means you've got to look the part.
00:28:31Trust me. It's an investment.
00:28:35Mr. Thornton, welcome back. How can I assist you today?
00:28:39You come here a lot?
00:28:41Well, of course. Mr. Thornton owns this store.
00:28:44Uh, Jess, why don't you try this one on?
00:28:48You'll look great in it.
00:28:53Wow, Jess, you look amazing.
00:28:57You think so?
00:28:59Yeah. This is exactly what a CEO would wear.
00:29:03Absolutely. Great choice.
00:29:05We'll take this one.
00:29:07Something on your mind?
00:29:10Well, it's probably nothing, but it's just that clerk seemed very fond of you.
00:29:16Oh, um, being friendly is a part of my job.
00:29:20Okay.
00:29:27So that's how you got your lawyer, huh?
00:29:31Now that you mention it, maybe she was a little friendly.
00:29:35But we got a discount.
00:29:38Show off.
00:29:47What a slut.
00:29:52Trust me, Jess. You can do this.
00:29:55Yeah, but what if they don't accept me?
00:29:57They will. Trust me. Just speak from the heart. Show your true self.
00:30:02Look at you two little lovebirds.
00:30:06Pathetic.
00:30:10Ted, can we talk about this later?
00:30:13Okay.
00:30:15You go in. I'll meet you in there soon, okay?
00:30:24Good luck in there, sis.
00:30:26You're gonna need it.
00:30:29You don't have the votes.
00:30:32I know my background doesn't seem very typical of a CEO,
00:30:37but I built myself from the bottom up here.
00:30:40Miller Corporation is a leader in tech and services,
00:30:47reaching industries from healthcare to energy.
00:30:50We have over 10,000 employees worldwide
00:30:55who have worked hard to build this company from the ground up,
00:30:58and I was one of them.
00:31:00I know them.
00:31:02And I believe that I can help lead this company to become everyone's company.
00:31:07Let's proceed to the vote.
00:31:09All in favor?
00:31:15Robert lost his damn mind.
00:31:17He picked his secret child to be the CEO only because of his guilty conscience.
00:31:22Richard, if I may...
00:31:24I'm not done talking. You can't lead us.
00:31:27And you're not getting my vote.
00:31:30Richard, if I may speak...
00:31:32Go ahead, but I won't change my mind.
00:31:38Sorry for interrupting everyone,
00:31:40but I have something important to share with you all today.
00:31:43Who the hell are you?
00:31:44Well, Richard, I'm the person who's going to expose you.
00:31:47What did you just say?
00:31:50How do I say this?
00:31:51Uh, you're a sex pervert.
00:31:54What?
00:31:57You see, everyone, this file
00:32:01contains multiple sexual harassment lawsuits
00:32:04against Richard over the past 30 years.
00:32:08Some of them also have ongoing lawsuits.
00:32:11They're all just allegations, and they've all been settled.
00:32:14I'm innocent.
00:32:15We've also got in contact with some of the victims,
00:32:17and they're willing to come forward and testify.
00:32:19Actually, I have not finished yet.
00:32:21You're also stealing money from the company,
00:32:24and we have the financial records to prove it.
00:32:32The evidence is clear.
00:32:34He's guilty.
00:32:36Okay, then.
00:32:37Let's all vote for Richard Donnell's immediate suspension.
00:32:41All in favor?
00:32:47We have 15 votes.
00:32:49The board has decided.
00:32:51Richard Donnell is officially removed from his position.
00:32:55Security, escort him out immediately.
00:32:58I know my way.
00:33:04And all in favor of appointing Jessica Miller as the new CEO.
00:33:22Oh.
00:33:24I'm sorry I was late.
00:33:26I had to make sure I had enough evidence to nail him.
00:33:28No, don't be sorry, Daniel.
00:33:30That was so worth the wait.
00:33:32Good.
00:33:34This is not over.
00:33:36You'll see.
00:33:37How's packing going, Lisa?
00:33:39You're about to be evicted soon.
00:33:41Bye-bye.
00:33:46She won again, that bitch.
00:33:48I know. It's so unfair.
00:33:50Do we have a guest?
00:33:52Lisa, honey, I've been trying to reach you.
00:33:55Why haven't you returned my calls?
00:33:57I've been busy.
00:33:59Busy.
00:34:00Dealing with Jessica.
00:34:02How did you know?
00:34:03Oh, I know.
00:34:04And I think I know how to help you take it down.
00:34:07Again.
00:34:08No use to me anymore, Adrian.
00:34:10I only needed you to help me get rid of Jessica.
00:34:14To the new CEO of the Miller Empire.
00:34:18Well, I couldn't have done it without you, Daniel.
00:34:21I also have another Christmas surprise for you.
00:34:25Who are you calling?
00:34:29Is it?
00:34:31Yes, Jess.
00:34:32It's your mother, Clara.
00:34:34Oh, my God, Mom!
00:34:36Oh, Jessica, you're a grown woman now.
00:34:39The Miller family threatened to kill you, Jess.
00:34:42I had no option but to vanish.
00:34:46Mom, it's okay.
00:34:48You didn't do anything wrong.
00:34:50I'll bring you back into the country, I promise.
00:34:54Daniel, how did you find her?
00:34:56I have a few powerful friends.
00:34:58They did me a favor.
00:35:00But I'll leave you two alone.
00:35:12Two more, please.
00:35:15Daniel.
00:35:17Adrian.
00:35:19Long time no see, buddy.
00:35:21Oh, my God, how long has it been?
00:35:23Ten years.
00:35:24Ten years!
00:35:25Oh, my God.
00:35:27The last time I must have seen you was at law school.
00:35:31Yep.
00:35:32Go Reds.
00:35:34Go Reds.
00:35:36What are you doing here?
00:35:38Just in town to run some errands.
00:35:40Just thought I'd come in for a quick bite.
00:35:42Nice, man, nice.
00:35:44I saw your date earlier.
00:35:46She looks pretty.
00:35:47Yeah, my wife.
00:35:49Your wife?
00:35:50Yeah, Jess.
00:35:51You're married?
00:35:52Yes.
00:35:53Yeah, you have to introduce me to her.
00:35:54Come on, let's go say hi.
00:35:56Come and say hello.
00:35:57It's good to see you, buddy.
00:35:58Good to see you too, man.
00:36:00Jess, I wanted you to meet an old friend of mine.
00:36:03Adrian, this is Jess.
00:36:04Jess, this is Adrian.
00:36:05We went to law school together.
00:36:08I don't want to see him.
00:36:13I don't want to see him.
00:36:17You two know each other?
00:36:18Yes, Daniel.
00:36:20I was her first boyfriend.
00:36:25Come on, Jess.
00:36:26Don't you miss me?
00:36:28I don't want to see you anymore.
00:36:30You know you're still in love with me, Jess.
00:36:32I don't want to see you anymore.
00:36:35You know you're still in love with me, Jess.
00:36:37No, I don't.
00:36:42I think you should leave, Adrian.
00:36:44Okay, Daniel?
00:36:45Relax.
00:36:46Now.
00:36:52I'm leaving.
00:36:57But she knows she's lying.
00:37:00I'm leaving.
00:37:03Boss, Adrian Wesley now represents Lisa and Kristen with her.
00:37:07They wanted to test the will.
00:37:09I should have known.
00:37:10What else?
00:37:11Adrian also used me, Jessica.
00:37:13Actually, he's the one who sabotaged Jessica's immigration paperwork.
00:37:18It caused all this trouble.
00:37:23That son of a bitch.
00:37:25We need to win this war.
00:37:27Do whatever it takes.
00:37:36Daniel?
00:37:38Sorry.
00:37:39Did I wake you?
00:37:41No, can...
00:37:43Can you join me in bed, please?
00:37:49You sure?
00:37:52I just...
00:37:54I wanted to apologize for earlier.
00:37:57The restaurant.
00:38:01I got a bit carried away.
00:38:03Jess, you don't need to apologize.
00:38:06Adrian's an asshole.
00:38:08He's just trying to do it to get under your skin.
00:38:10I did care for Adrian once.
00:38:13But he just destroyed everything we had.
00:38:17I want you to know...
00:38:19I want you to know...
00:38:21That I'm here because of you.
00:38:25And you're the only one who I love.
00:38:30No one else.
00:38:43I love you too, Jess.
00:38:45And I'm not going anywhere.
00:38:49Good night.
00:39:00Good morning, husband.
00:39:02Morning, wife.
00:39:05Are you ready for your big day as the new CEO?
00:39:07If only you were with me.
00:39:29You're gonna do great today.
00:39:38Jess?
00:39:40Here's your coffee.
00:39:44What's wrong?
00:39:46No, it's just this job.
00:39:48It's all so new to me.
00:39:50Okay, calm down.
00:39:52Remember, you're the CEO.
00:39:54Which means you're the boss.
00:39:56Yeah, but I don't know how to be a boss.
00:40:00Hey, Jess.
00:40:02Look at you sitting in the big chair now.
00:40:05Oh, Giovanna, I am so happy you're here.
00:40:11You must be Daniel.
00:40:13Jessica's been talking about you for days.
00:40:16I'm flattered.
00:40:18I really wish you could be here with me, G.
00:40:20It's exhausting.
00:40:22At least you have a job, Jess.
00:40:24I've been looking for work for the past two months.
00:40:27Jess?
00:40:30Do you like Janna being here?
00:40:34Of course.
00:40:36We've been besties since forever.
00:40:39Yeah, what kind of question is that?
00:40:41Well, why don't you use your CEO power
00:40:44and hire Janna?
00:40:47Oh, I know what you mean.
00:40:50I don't understand.
00:40:52How would you like to come work for me?
00:40:58Of course.
00:41:00Okay, then.
00:41:02My first order as a CEO.
00:41:05Janna, you are hired as my personal assistant.
00:41:11Oh, my God, Jess, thank you so much.
00:41:13See?
00:41:15Being a boss is easy.
00:41:17You can do whatever you want.
00:41:25Oh, my God.
00:41:27What's wrong?
00:41:29The company's stock prices are dropping like crazy.
00:41:32What is happening?
00:41:34This is a move.
00:41:36The stock's getting dumped.
00:41:38Oh, well.
00:41:40Looks like things aren't going so well.
00:41:43What did you do, Lisa?
00:41:45I asked Richard and some of the other investors
00:41:48to sell their stocks.
00:41:50The board members are not going to be happy
00:41:52about the stock prices, Jessica.
00:41:54What do you want?
00:41:56Resign as CEO,
00:41:58or I will destroy this company.
00:42:00No way.
00:42:02Okay.
00:42:04Then I will destroy this company.
00:42:06The board members are asking to meet with you.
00:42:08They're angry.
00:42:14What are you going to do, Jess?
00:42:16Okay, I'll meet with the board.
00:42:19Wait, Jess.
00:42:21Don't go. Take a seat.
00:42:24What is it?
00:42:25Lisa,
00:42:27are you sure the stock prices are going down?
00:42:30Because to me, they seem to be going up and up.
00:42:33That's impossible.
00:42:34You would need at least a billion dollars.
00:42:37I guess anything's possible these days.
00:42:40God damn it!
00:42:42God, she's annoying.
00:42:48You must be my lucky star.
00:42:57Daniel.
00:43:00Gianna.
00:43:02I know who you are, Daniel.
00:43:04You're the son of James Thornton.
00:43:06How did you find out?
00:43:08My identity is meant to be a secret.
00:43:09I used to work for your father.
00:43:11Please don't tell Jess.
00:43:13I'll pay you. How much do you want?
00:43:15I don't want your money.
00:43:16I care for my friend.
00:43:18Actually, your father fired me
00:43:20because I tried to help Jessica.
00:43:22I'm sorry, Gianna.
00:43:24It's okay.
00:43:26I just want to know why.
00:43:28She hates my family.
00:43:30I have to lie to her.
00:43:32She hates your family, but she loves you.
00:43:36I can see that.
00:43:38You really think so?
00:43:40Yes.
00:43:41I love her, too.
00:43:43She's the best thing that's ever happened to me.
00:43:48That's good to hear.
00:43:50Please protect her.
00:43:53Daniel.
00:43:55It's my mom.
00:43:57Adrian threatened her.
00:44:03Adrian threatened my mom on the phone.
00:44:05He said he was going to block her
00:44:07from entering the country.
00:44:09What should we do?
00:44:11Jess.
00:44:13I don't want you to worry about it.
00:44:15I'm going to make sure your mom gets here safely.
00:44:17Okay.
00:44:19Don't worry about it.
00:44:21I'm going to make sure your mom gets here safely.
00:44:38Ted.
00:44:40I need you to make sure Jessica's mom gets here safely.
00:44:43Book her on the first flight out tomorrow.
00:44:45Got it, boss.
00:44:46She'll be here in town the day after tomorrow.
00:44:49Okay.
00:44:55Jess has been taken care of.
00:44:57Your mom's going to be here the day after tomorrow.
00:45:00Thank you, Daniel.
00:45:03But I'm...
00:45:05I'm still scared.
00:45:07I just... I need a day off.
00:45:09I love the sound of that.
00:45:11What did you have in mind?
00:45:13I was thinking...
00:45:16I want to buy a house.
00:45:27So?
00:45:30Do you like this place?
00:45:32It's amazing.
00:45:34But, Jess, I appreciate the gesture.
00:45:36But you don't need to buy me a house.
00:45:40No. No.
00:45:42I insist.
00:45:44You have done so much
00:45:46to help me.
00:45:48Besides, we can live together here.
00:45:50Mr. Thornton.
00:45:52Hi.
00:45:54Your father is here.
00:45:56Are you meeting him here?
00:46:00Well,
00:46:02I've never met your parents,
00:46:04so I'm pretty excited
00:46:06to meet an in-law.
00:46:08Oh, is...
00:46:10Is that him?
00:46:12Come on, let's go say hi.
00:46:14Jess, wait.
00:46:20I might not have told my dad
00:46:22about you and our marriage.
00:46:24Why?
00:46:26Because he has a heart condition.
00:46:30I think it's best you stay here.
00:46:32Okay.
00:46:34I'll just
00:46:36stay here, then.
00:46:38Good.
00:46:42Dad?
00:46:44Come on.
00:46:46Damn. What the hell?
00:46:48Jessica's here. She can't see her face.
00:46:50Don't take them off.
00:46:52I want to talk to you
00:46:54about Ashley, Daniel.
00:46:58Why hasn't Daniel
00:47:00told his father about me
00:47:02and our wedding?
00:47:04Ashley, really? Not today.
00:47:06And
00:47:08what is this shirt you're wearing?
00:47:10Your mother insisted I wear it
00:47:12in this charity event in New England.
00:47:14Right.
00:47:16She said it makes me look more grounded.
00:47:18I'm approaching one.
00:47:22And don't go changing our subject.
00:47:24I want to discuss our agreement.
00:47:26I give you Clara
00:47:28and you marry Ashley.
00:47:34Why does he look so
00:47:36nervous?
00:47:38Is that enough?
00:47:42Do we have to talk about this
00:47:44right now?
00:47:46I held up my end of the bargain, Daniel.
00:47:48I want this deal done now.
00:47:50Actually, Clara isn't safe yet.
00:47:52Lisa Miller might try to be
00:47:54sabotaging everything.
00:47:56This is why you don't mess with the Miller family.
00:47:58You should have left it alone.
00:48:00All I'm asking is just a few more days.
00:48:02Ashley is coming to town
00:48:04in a few days.
00:48:06Jess!
00:48:08Jess.
00:48:18Dad, this is Jess.
00:48:20Jess, this is Dad.
00:48:22You can call him Jimmy.
00:48:24Jimmy?
00:48:28I'm Jimmy, sweetie.
00:48:30It's lovely to meet you, Jimmy.
00:48:32And can I just say, that is a
00:48:34lovely Hawaiian shirt.
00:48:36It really, really suits you.
00:48:38Well, thank you, Jessica.
00:48:40It's one I'm fond of.
00:48:44So, who is Ashley?
00:48:46I heard you guys talking about her earlier.
00:48:48Oh,
00:48:50she's just an old
00:48:52family friend.
00:48:54They grew up and went to law
00:48:56school together.
00:48:58And she had Daniel's first
00:49:00kiss.
00:49:02Her wedding is
00:49:04approaching soon and
00:49:06I'd like Daniel to attend.
00:49:08Dad! I'm reminiscing
00:49:10about the good old days.
00:49:12No, it's fine. Honestly, it's lovely to hear about
00:49:14Daniel's childhood and more about his life.
00:49:16You bastard child!
00:49:22Well, well.
00:49:24What do we have here?
00:49:26You think you can afford
00:49:28this place?
00:49:30You're about to lose this battle
00:49:32and be out on the streets soon.
00:49:34Who's this clown?
00:49:38Looks like he belongs
00:49:40in a circus. How dare you, Kristen!
00:49:42How do you know
00:49:44my name? And don't you
00:49:46dare call me by my first name.
00:49:48That's enough!
00:49:50Don't talk to my father like that.
00:49:56He's your father.
00:49:58How does it feel to be
00:50:00a father of such a loser?
00:50:02Don't talk to my
00:50:04family like that.
00:50:06Your family. Your family
00:50:08suck, Jessica.
00:50:10Especially your mother.
00:50:12The home-wrecking tramp.
00:50:14A whore.
00:50:24Your family suck, Jessica.
00:50:26Especially your mother.
00:50:28The home-wrecking
00:50:30tramp. A whore.
00:50:38How dare you
00:50:40slap me?
00:50:42That is enough, Kristen.
00:50:44You're not gonna wear
00:50:46hair no more.
00:50:50Ladies, you need to leave.
00:50:52Now. You can't throw us out.
00:50:54We're buyers. We're not going anywhere.
00:50:56The owner of this property has banned
00:50:58you from coming here. You need to leave now
00:51:00or I will call security.
00:51:02You
00:51:04will regret
00:51:06this.
00:51:08I've heard that a thousand times.
00:51:10Now leave.
00:51:20Thank you, Jessica.
00:51:22You stood up for me.
00:51:24Well, we're a family, Jimmy.
00:51:26That's what I'm supposed to do.
00:51:30Well,
00:51:32I appreciate it.
00:51:34You're a nice girl.
00:51:36You found a good
00:51:38wife, son.
00:51:40Dad,
00:51:42about Ashley's wedding,
00:51:44I don't think I'm gonna be able to make it.
00:51:46I'll look into it.
00:51:48I'll speak to her about it.
00:51:50No, no, no. Daniel can still
00:51:52attend. It's not a problem.
00:51:54Jess, I just want to focus on you and I.
00:51:56I'm not the jealous
00:51:58type. Plus, I don't want
00:52:00you to miss your first crush's wedding.
00:52:04Well, you decide, Daniel.
00:52:06Oh, there's a lawn party.
00:52:08You two want to come?
00:52:10It's in three hours.
00:52:12Yeah.
00:52:14Dad, we'll go.
00:52:16Great.
00:52:18I'll see you there.
00:52:30Well, this place is extremely high class.
00:52:34Well, my
00:52:36dad has a few rich friends.
00:52:40And James Thornton
00:52:42is here.
00:52:44I know you don't want to see him.
00:52:46But Jess,
00:52:48my dad's here. He's gonna join us later.
00:52:50Okay.
00:52:52The bidding's about to start.
00:52:58Oh, the bitch is here!
00:53:00I know.
00:53:02Don't worry, we can teach him a lesson.
00:53:04Yeah, how? Let's see if Daniel can handle
00:53:06a little humiliation
00:53:08with money.
00:53:10Here with money? What money?
00:53:12I haven't gotten my inheritance back yet.
00:53:14I know. Your mother spoke to Richard.
00:53:16He said he's willing to donate us some cash
00:53:18if we make Jessica look ugly.
00:53:20Oh.
00:53:22You're the best.
00:53:26I know.

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