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

00:55:01Four million dollars!
00:55:04What are they doing?
00:55:04Where did they get that money from?
00:55:06I don't know, but they're definitely trying to humiliate me here.
00:55:09Really?
00:55:10But I don't even care about this bid.
00:55:13Five million dollars!
00:55:15Daniel, what are you doing?
00:55:17Don't worry, Jess, I've got this.

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