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.
00:10:14It's okay.
00:10:22Jess, what are you spying on me? No, no, no, no. I was just passing by and just...
00:10:48Do you need anything? I was joking. Yeah,
00:10:52could you pass me the towel that's just hanging up next to the door? Yeah, sure, sure.
00:10:58Oh my god. What? I just got fired.
00:11:18Uh, wait, Jess, let me go with you.
00:11:28Sam, please, don't fire me. I'm sorry, Jess, but your immigration issue
00:11:41put us in a tough spot. I worked for this company for years. I'm sorry, Jess. There's nothing I can
00:11:49do. I'm sorry. Look who's here. Someone who just got fired. This suits you.
00:12:06It was you. I should have known you were behind this. I'm not gonna let you stay here
00:12:11and ruin things. I'm gonna take away everything you have, sister.
00:12:20You just made a big mistake, sir. Who are you? My name is Daniel Thornton, son of James Thornton,
00:12:27the chairman of Thornton Enterprise. Oh, uh, Mr. Thornton, uh, welcome.
00:12:35What brings you here? Well, 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. Absolutely. With her hard work and dedication, she's made this possible.
00:13:09It's a real shame you're gonna lose such a valuable employee. Oh, uh, Mr. Thornton, um,
00:13:16I have made a huge mistake. Uh, Jessica will stay. Good. And, uh,
00:13:27make sure nobody knows we had this conversation.
00:13:30Jessica, you should have told me.
00:13:40What are you talking about, Sam? Jessica, you secured a huge deal for the company. Thank you.
00:13:47Did you not just fire her? I changed my mind. Jessica's staying. Actually,
00:13:54she's being promoted to sales manager. Can't afford to lose someone as valuable as like her.
00:14:01Great. Thanks, Sam. This is not over.
00:14:10I 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. Oh my god. That's fantastic.
00:14:38No way.
00:14:38Hey. Jessica, how's work? Did you get your job back? Daniel, I need a lawyer.
00:14:58Well, look who decided to show up. Too 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. Well, 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 that supports Kristen and Lisa's claims.
00:15:28Who is this? He's my lawyer and a damn good one. Oh, you know, Jess, I didn't realize you had
00:15:35enough money to pay for a fancy little lawyer. You sleep with them? Patrick,
00:15:42can I have a word with you outside? Talk all you want. It won't change anything.
00:15:58All right, Patrick, I'm gonna keep this short. I 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. Ted found an email
00:16:09exchange with my father. Here, take a look. You've been caught, Patrick. Honor of the will,
00:16:16I'll report you to the Bar Association. You'll lose your license and any chance of practicing
00:16:20law again. That 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. You 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? He's doing the right thing.
00:16:46Jessica, you've got your inheritance back. Congratulations. Oh my god. Patrick,
00:16:54do 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. Who the hell do you think you are?
00:17:08James Thornton is one of the most powerful men in this town. I sure can. Isn't that right, Patrick?
00:17:15Yes, the original will stands. No, you are crazy. No, I'm not. According to the original will,
00:17:22Jessica stands to inherit this mansion. Kristen, you're out. I think you two should leave.
00:17:29You homewrecker. Just like your mother. I will not allow violence. I didn't come here to argue
00:17:38over a house and assets. I 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. You don't know how lucky you are, Lisa.
00:17:49You grew up with a father who loved you. I had none and you took my mother away from me and I
00:17:56still don't know where she is. You two don't deserve this mansion and I would rather give
00:18:03it away to a charity than to see the two of you living it. You two should pack your things up.
00:18:15You have one week to leave this house.
00:18:26What the hell were you thinking? Sabotaging my plan? I was just doing the right thing.
00:18:31The right thing? Going against me? Kristen 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. So 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? Once Jessica gets her mom back, I'll do whatever you want.
00:18:58Whatever I want? Like what exactly? I'll marry Ashley.
00:19:06You'll marry Ashley? Yeah. You're willing to do that? Yeah, I am.
00:19:13But only if she's reunited with her mother. Okay, deal. I'll make the arrangements.
00:19:23So you're really in love with this one, huh? Yeah, I am.
00:19:30I sure hope she's working. She isn't.
00:19:33What's wrong? We have a guest.
00:19:43Mr. Thornton. Good to see you again. Interview time. Great.
00:19:51When did you two meet? We met at a friend's party two years ago.
00:19:57What do you say, Jessica? Oh, yeah, yeah. Interesting. And when did you decide to get married?
00:20:07Eight months ago. Six months or eight months? Which one is it? Yeah, eight months ago. Sorry,
00:20:13I just... Sorry, I'm always getting mixed up. Sure. Easy mistake to make. And what's your
00:20:21anniversary date? March 15th. March 15th. All right. Thank you.
00:20:31Uh, that's it? Yes, Mr. Thornton. I have everything I need. I'll report back to the judges.
00:20:41Oh, wait, uh, this.
00:20:46How did we do in there?
00:20:48It was pretty bad. Look, I'm the son of James Thornton. I know who you are.
00:21:02You want to bribe me? Yes. I can't be bribed. Here's one million dollars.
00:21:09Here's one million dollars.
00:21:15Two million dollars. Right.
00:21:22Three million dollars. It's tempting, but like I said, you can't bribe me. Please. Can you just
00:21:28give us one more week to prepare? I really want to be with this woman. She means the world to me.
00:21:35She saved my life. I'm not gonna take your money, but I'll give you one week. Make it count.
00:21:41Thank you. Next time, I want to see some genuine affection between you two.
00:21:45If anything seems a bit off, your game's up. Of course. And one more thing. I can tell you
00:21:53two haven't had sex yet. I'm that good, Mr. Daniel. Don't try and fool me.
00:21:59She gave us another chance. Oh my god. We have one week to get our story straight.
00:22:10Thank you, Daniel. You've been very, very helpful today.
00:22:30Cool. Now, I wanted to make our first Christmas special,
00:22:35so I did a little digging and I found this. This tree is amazing.
00:22:46What happened?
00:22:49Let me have a look.
00:22:59Um,
00:23:18I have a festive gift for you two.
00:23:30Wow. Jess, you look gorgeous.
00:23:40And then I told him that's not how you negotiate.
00:23:59So,
00:24:09so,
00:24:27this could be wrong. Maybe. Maybe not.
00:24:39So,
00:24:47so that is how you negotiate. You're not even there.
00:25:01Um,
00:25:09uh, hold on. I got this.
00:25:31So,
00:25:47so,
00:26:01so,
00:26:09um,
00:26:23watches. Is it real? No.
00:26:27Um, you wear a fake watch. Yeah.
00:26:35Okay.
00:26:51There's also something I need to tell you about your mom.
00:27:05Oh, my God. Did I just sleep with Daniel last night? I told him it would only be a contract
00:27:16marriage. Morning. This is the most beautiful morning that I've ever had. Daniel, I'm,
00:27:31I'm so sorry about last night. It was, it wasn't supposed to happen and I promise it'll never
00:27:39happen again. She didn't mean it. Oh, Jessica, last night was amazing. Uh, yeah, Jess, uh,
00:27:52I get it. It was, uh, it was a one time thing. Yeah, just like just a one time thing. Yeah.
00:28:03Anyway, it's a, you're a big day today. You're the new CEO of the Miller Empire.
00:28:11Thank you for the reminder.
00:28:13You're now that you mentioned it, I'm really scared. Oh, no, Jess, I didn'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, that bitch is kicking us out. We 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 this up. I will call Richard. Everyone respects Richard's
00:28:50vote and I will make sure he doesn't vote for her. You should not dig up all the dirt I can
00:28:54find on her. You go, girl.
00:29:07These clothes are beautiful, but, uh, very expensive. Like this one, that is
00:29:17$9000. Jess, don't worry about it. It's on me. Look at it as my first gift to my wife.
00:29:27No, Daniel, I can't let you pay for this. Jess, you're going to be a CEO,
00:29:32which means you've got to look the part. Trust me, it's an investment.
00:29:39Mr. Thornton, welcome back. How can I assist you today? Come here a lot?
00:29:43Uh, no. Well, of course, Mr. Thornton owns this store.
00:29:47Uh, Jess, why don't you try this one on? You'll look great in it.
00:29:56Wow, Jess, you look amazing. You think so? Yeah. This is exactly what a CEO would wear.
00:30:06Absolutely. Great choice. We'll take this one.
00:30:10Is there something on your mind? Well, it's probably nothing, but it's just
00:30:17that clerk seemed very fond of you. Oh, um, being friendly is a part of my job.
00:30:24Okay.
00:30:31So that's how you got your lawyer, huh? Now that you mention it,
00:30:37maybe she wasn't a little friendly, but we got a discount.
00:30:42Sure.
00:30:51What a slut.
00:30:56Trust me, Jess, you can do this. Yeah, but what if they don't accept me?
00:31:00They will. Trust me. Just speak from the heart and show your true self.
00:31:06Look at you two little lovebirds.
00:31:14Ted, we can talk about this later. Okay. You go in. I'll meet you in there soon, okay?
00:31:22Okay.
00:31:28Good luck in there, sis. You're gonna need it. You don't have any votes.
00:31:37I know my background doesn't seem very typical of a CEO, but I built myself from the bottom up
00:31:44Miller Corporation is a leader in tech and services, reaching industries from healthcare
00:31:53to energy. We have over 10,000 employees worldwide who've worked hard to build this
00:32:00company from the ground up. And I was one of them. I know them. And I believe that I can
00:32:06help lead this company to become everyone's company. Let's proceed to the vote. All in favor.
00:32:18Robert lost his damn mind. He picked his secret child to be the CEO only because of his guilty
00:32:24conscience. Richard, if I may, I'm not done talking. You can't lead us and you're not
00:32:31getting my vote. Richard, if I may speak. Go ahead, but I won't change my mind.
00:32:42Sorry for interrupting everyone, but I have something important to share with you all
00:32:46today. Who the hell are you? Well, Richard, I'm the person who's going to expose you.
00:32:51What did you just say? How do I say this? Uh, you're a sex pervert. What?
00:33:01You see, everyone, this file contains multiple sexual harassment lawsuits against Richard
00:33:09over the past 30 years. Some of them also have ongoing lawsuits. They're all just allegations
00:33:17and they've all been settled. I'm innocent. We've also got in contact with some of the victims and
00:33:21they're willing to come forward and testify. Actually, I have not finished yet. You're also
00:33:26stealing money from the company and we have the financial records.
00:33:36The evidence is clear. He's guilty. Okay, then let's all vote for Richard Donald's
00:33:43immediate suspension. All in favor. We have 15 votes. The board has decided.
00:33:55Richard Donald is officially removed from his position. Security, escort him out immediately.
00:34:01I know my way.
00:34:07And all in favor of appointing Jessica Miller as the new CEO.
00:34:25I'm sorry I was late. I had to make sure I had enough evidence to mail.
00:34:31No, don't be sorry, Daniel. That was so worth the wait.
00:34:38This is not over. You'll see. How's packing going, Lisa? You're about to be evicted soon.
00:34:44Bye-bye.
00:34:50She won again, that bitch. I know, it's so unfair. Do we have a guest? Lisa, honey,
00:34:57I've been trying to reach you. Why haven't you returned my calls? I've been busy. Busy
00:35:03dealing with Jessica. How did you know? Oh, I know and I think I know how to help you take it down
00:35:09again. You don't used to me anymore, Adrian. I only needed you to help me get rid of Jessica.
00:35:16To the new CEO of the Miller Empire.
00:35:21Well, I couldn't have done it without you, Danny. I also have another Christmas surprise for you.
00:35:28Who are you calling?
00:35:32Is it? Yes, Jess. It's your mother, Clara. Oh my god, mom.
00:35:39Oh, Jessica, you're a grown woman now. The Miller family threatened to kill you, Jess.
00:35:45I had no option but to vanish. Oh, mom, it's okay. It's okay. Like, you didn't do anything
00:35:52wrong. I'll bring you back into the country. I promise. Daniel, how did you find her?
00:35:59I have a few powerful friends. They did me a favor, but I'll leave you two alone.
00:36:09Two more, please. Daniel. Adrian. Long time, no see, buddy. Oh my god, how long has it been?
00:36:27Ten years. Ten years. Oh my god. The last time I must have seen you was, uh,
00:36:33law school. Yep. Go Reds. Go Reds. What are you doing here? Just in town to run some errands.
00:36:43Just thought I'd come here for a quick bite. Nice, man. Nice. I saw your date earlier.
00:36:49She looks pretty. Yeah, my wife. Your wife? Yeah, Jess. You're married? Yes. Yeah,
00:36:56you have to introduce me to her. Come on, let's go say hi. Come and say hello. It's good to see
00:37:01you. Good to see you too, man. Jess, I wanted you to meet an old friend of mine. Adrian,
00:37:06this is Jess. Jess, this is Adrian. We went to law school together.
00:37:15I don't want to see him. I don't want to see him.
00:37:24You two know each other? Yes, Daniel. I was her first boyfriend.
00:37:32Come on, Jess. Don't you miss me? I don't want to see you anymore.
00:37:37You know you're still in love with me, Jess. No, I don't.
00:37:45I think you should leave, Adrian. Okay, Daniel? Relax. Now.
00:37:55I'm leaving.
00:37:56Did she know she's lying?
00:38:06Boss, Adrian Westray now represents the Eastside Christian River.
00:38:09They wanted to test the will. I should have known. What else? Adrian also introduced me to Jessica.
00:38:16Actually, he's the one who sabotaged Jessica's immigration paperwork. It caused all this trouble.
00:38:26That son of a bitch. We need to win this war. Do whatever it takes.
00:38:39Daniel? Sorry, did I wake you? No, can you join me in bed, please?
00:38:48Are you sure?
00:38:57I just, I wanted to apologize for earlier at the restaurant.
00:39:05I got a bit carried away. Jess, you don't need to apologize.
00:39:11Adrian's an asshole. He'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, and you're the only one who I love. No one else.
00:39:44I love you too, Jess, and I'm not going anywhere.
00:40:03Good morning, husband. Morning, wife.
00:40:07Are you ready for your big day as the new CEO? If only you were with me.
00:40:14You're going to do great today.
00:40:34Jess, here's your coffee. Thank you.
00:40:47What's wrong? Oh, it's just, it's this job. It's all so new to me. Okay, calm down. Remember,
00:40:55you're the CEO, which means you're the boss. Yeah, but I don't know how to be a boss.
00:41:02Hey, Jess. Look at you sitting in the big chair now. Oh, I am so happy you're here.
00:41:13You must be Daniel. Jessica's been talking about you for days. I'm flattered. I really wish you
00:41:21could be here with me, G. It's exhausting. At least you have a job, Jess. I've been looking
00:41:27for work for the past two months. Jess, do you like Deanna being here?
00:41:37Of course. We've been besties since forever. Yeah, what kind of question is that?
00:41:43Well, why don't you use your CEO power and hire Deanna? Oh, I know what you mean.
00:41:52I don't understand. How would you like to come work for me? Of course.
00:42:03Okay, then. My first order as a CEO, Gianna, you are hired as my personal assistant.
00:42:13Oh, my God, Jess. Thank you so much. See? Being a boss is easy. You can do whatever you want.
00:42:23Oh, my God. What's wrong? The company's stock prices are dropping like crazy. What is happening?
00:42:36This isn't good. The stock's getting down. Well, well, well. Looks like things aren't going so
00:42:44well. What did you do, Lisa? I 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? Resign as CEO or I will destroy this company. No way. Okay.
00:43:06Then I will destroy this company. Jessica, the board members are asking to meet with you.
00:43:11They're angry. What are you going to do, Jess? Okay, I'll meet with the board.
00:43:21Wait, Jess. Don't go. Take a seat. What is it? Lisa, are you sure the stock prices are going down?
00:43:32Because to me, they seem to be going up and up. That's impossible. You would need at least a
00:43:37billion dollars. I guess anything's possible these days. God damn it. God, she's annoying.
00:43:46I know you must be my lucky star.
00:44:00Daniel.
00:44:03Gianna. I know who you are, Daniel. You're the son of James Thornton. How'd you find out?
00:44:10My identity's meant to be a secret. I used to work for your father. Please don't tell Jess.
00:44:15I'll pay you. How much do you want? I don't want your money. I care for my friend.
00:44:21Actually, your father fired me because I tried to help Jessica. I'm sorry, Gianna. It's okay.
00:44:29I just want to know why. She hates my family. I have to lie to her. She hates your family, but
00:44:37she loves you. I can see that. You really think so? Yes. I love her too. She's
00:44:47the best thing that's ever happened to me. That's good to hear. Please protect her.
00:44:53Daniel, it's my mom. Adrian threatened her.
00:45:11Adrian threatened my mom on the phone. He said he was going to block her from entering the country.
00:45:17What should we do? Jess, I don't want you to worry about it.
00:45:22I'm going to make sure your mom gets here safely.
00:45:40Ted, I need you to make sure Jessica's mom gets here safely.
00:45:44Book her on the first flight out tomorrow. Got it, boss. She'll be here in town the day after
00:45:49tomorrow. Good. Jess has been taken care of. Your mom's going to be here the day after tomorrow.
00:46:02Thank you, Daniel. But I'm still scared. I just, I need a day off.
00:46:12I love the sound of that. What'd you have in mind? I was thinking,
00:46:20I want to buy a house.
00:46:30So, do you like this place? It's amazing. But, Jess, I appreciate the gesture,
00:46:40but you don't need to buy me a house. No, no. I insist. You've done so much
00:46:48to help me. Besides, we can live together here. Miss Thompson. Hi. Your father is here.
00:46:56Are you meeting him here? Well, I've never met your parents, so I'm pretty excited to
00:47:09meet an in-law. Oh, is that him? Come on, let's go say hi. Jess, wait, uh, wait, wait, wait, wait,
00:47:18wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. Um, I might not have told my dad about you and our marriage.
00:47:26Why? Uh, because he has a heart condition. I think it's best you stay here. Okay.
00:47:34Okay. I'll just stay here then. Good.
00:47:46Dad? Daniel, what the hell? Jessica's here. She can't see her face. Don't take them off.
00:47:55I want to talk to you about Ashley, Daniel.
00:47:57What?
00:48:01Why hasn't Daniel told his father about me and our wedding? Ashley, really? Not today.
00:48:09And what is this shirt you're wearing? Mother insisted I wear it in this chariot event in
00:48:16the morning. Right. Said it makes me look more grounded and approachable.
00:48:23And don't go changing our subject. I want to discuss our agreement. I give you Clara and you marry Ashley.
00:48:37Why does he look so nervous? Am I not good enough?
00:48:44Do we have to talk about this right now? I held up my end of the bargain, Daniel.
00:48:49I want this deal done now. Actually, Clara isn't safe yet. Lisa Miller might try and
00:48:56sabotage everything. This is why you don't mess with the Miller family. You shouldn't have left
00:49:01it alone. All I'm asking is just a few more days. Ashley is coming to town in a few days. What?
00:49:08What?
00:49:10Jess, uh, Jess.
00:49:21Dad, this is Jess. Jess, this is Dad. You can call him Jimmy. Jimmy?
00:49:31I'm Jimmy, sweetie. It's lovely to meet you, Jimmy. And can I just say that is a lovely Hawaiian
00:49:37shirt. It really, really suits you. Well, thank you, Jessica. It's, uh, one I'm fond of.
00:49:46So who is Ashley? I heard you guys talking about her earlier. Oh, she's just a old family friend.
00:49:57They grew up and went to law school together. And she had Daniel's first kiss.
00:50:03Oh. Her wedding is, uh, approaching soon and, uh, I'd like Daniel to attend. Dang it.
00:50:11I'm reminiscing about the good old days. No, it's, it's fine. Honestly,
00:50:15it's lovely to hear about Daniel's childhood and more about his life. You bastard child.
00:50:26Well, well, what do we have here? You think you can afford this place?
00:50:32You're about to lose this battle and be out on the streets soon. Who's this clown?
00:50:41Looks like he belongs in a circus. How dare you, Kristen?
00:50:46How do you know my name? And don't you dare call me by my first name. That's enough.
00:50:51Oh, don't talk to my father like that.
00:50:58He's your father. How does it feel to be a father of such a loser? Don't talk to my family like
00:51:07that. Your family. Your family suck, Jessica. Especially your mother. The home-wrecking tramp.
00:51:17A whore.
00:51:26Your family suck, Jessica. Especially your mother. The home-wrecking tramp. A whore.
00:51:35Oh, damn.
00:51:41How dare you slap me? That is enough, Kristen. You're not gonna lay a hand on my wife.
00:51:53Ladies, you need to leave now. You can't throw us out. We're buyers. We're not going anywhere.
00:51:58The owner of this property has banned you from coming here. You need to leave now
00:52:02or I will confiscate it. You will regret this. I've heard that a thousand times. Now leave.
00:52:23Thank you, Jessica. You stood up for me. Well, we're family, Jimmy. That's what I'm supposed to do.
00:52:33Well, I appreciate it. You're a nice girl. You found a good wife, son.
00:52:44Dad, about Ashley's wedding, I don't think I'm gonna be able to make it.
00:52:49I'll look into it. I'll speak to her about it. Oh, no, no, no, no. Daniel can still attend.
00:52:55It's not a problem. Jess, I just want to focus on you and I. I'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. Oh, there's a lawn party. You two want to come? It's in three hours.
00:53:15Yeah, Dad, we'll go. Great. I'll see you there.
00:53:32Well, this place is extremely high class. Well, my dad has a few rich friends.
00:53:43And James Thornton is here. I know you don't want to see him,
00:53:49but Jess, my dad's here. He's gonna join us later. Okay. Oh, the bidding's about to start.
00:53:56Oh, the bitch is here. I know. Don't worry, we can teach him a lesson. Yeah, how?
00:54:07Let's see if Daniel can handle a little humiliation
00:54:12with money. Here with money? What money? I haven't gotten my inheritance back yet. Yeah,
00:54:16I know. Your mother spoke to Richard. He said he's willing to donate us some cash if we make
00:54:21Jessica look ugly. Oh, you're the best. I know.
00:54:34Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to this evening's auction.
00:54:37We have for you The Last Dance. Bid starts at one million dollars.
00:54:42One million dollars. Two million dollars right here.
00:54:54Three million dollars.
00:55:01Four million dollars. What are they doing? Where did they get that money from? I don't know,
00:55:07but they're definitely trying to humiliate me here. Really? But I don't even care about
00:55:12this bit. Five million dollars. Daniel, what are you doing? Don't worry, Jess, I've got this.
00:55:22Five million dollars. Daniel, what are you doing? Don't worry, Jess, I've got this. I got six
00:55:29million dollars. Cash. Boom. Can't compete with that. Watch this. Seven million dollars.
00:55:41Eight million dollars. Did that just happen? Ten million dollars. Awesome.
00:55:50Ten million. Once, twice, sold. There's a gentleman there.
00:55:59Where did you get that money from? Well, do you remember me telling you about I have a powerful
00:56:10friend? Yeah, the one who helped me find my mother. Jessica. James Thornton. In the flesh,
00:56:19or Mrs. Thornton. I want to apologize to you. I am truly sorry for everything I did to you
00:56:27and your mother, but I'm trying my best to make amends. Well, I don't know what to say. Jess,
00:56:36I know it's a lot to handle. You've just got to trust me. Yeah, but why didn't you just tell me
00:56:40in the first place, Daniel? Jess. Jessica. Don't follow me. Oh, this could get interesting.
00:56:58Oh, look who's all alone. No, just leave me alone. You're never going to win against James
00:57:11Thornton. He's my mother's best friend. You're going to lose everything. Poor babe,
00:57:16still played by the big boys. James Thornton and his son have been playing you all along.
00:57:23Wait, what did you just say? James Thornton and his son? Wait, Jess, you didn't know? Daniel
00:57:29Thornton is his son. Oh, my God. I didn't know that. Now that I do. Wow. That's enough.
00:57:41Oh, excuse me, Mr. Thornton. Crown Prince said Thornton family.
00:57:55This man has been lying to you all along. Poor little girl's got no one to trust.
00:58:00Both of you, get out of here.
00:58:13Jess, I've been trying to tell you. Am I a joke to you? No. What do you mean? You and your father.
00:58:21You've been playing me this whole time. No, I've been standing by your side all the time, Jess.
00:58:27I can't. I can't trust you. You're lying to me. You're right. You're right.
00:58:37I have been hiding things from you.
00:58:41You know what I haven't told you yet? Another big secret. Are you sure you want to hear this?
00:58:49The other big secret is the first time we met. It was five years ago. Five years ago. Yes.
00:59:01At a party. I was drunk and I fell in the pool.
00:59:07I was drunk and I fell in the pool.
00:59:18Oh, thank God you're alive.
00:59:23I was drowning and you saved my life. But you won't remember that.
00:59:30But I will forever be grateful for what you did for me that day.
00:59:33Is that it? That was you? Yes. My father forbid me from seeing you, but I didn't care.
00:59:42I confronted him. You can't tell me what to do, Dad. You can't stop me from seeing her. I'm doing
00:59:48what's best for you, Daniel. That girl and all her family are nothing but trouble. And then he
00:59:54decided to tell me about everything he did to you and your mom. And I felt so guilty. It's okay.
01:00:03I was ashamed to approach you. I 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 with you. No, I know. And then I heard about
01:00:14you being deported and I just couldn't let that happen. Well, I saved you and you saved me.
01:00:23I guess we just belong together. Ew, corny. But just no more secrets, okay? I promise. No more secrets.
01:00:53You're up early. Yeah, I'm gonna go pick your mom up from the airport. Better soon than later.
01:01:12Gianna just texted me. She said that I have my first weekly exec meeting this morning.
01:01:18I should postpone it. No, you should definitely go to that. You need to look good in front of
01:01:24your board. Really? Yeah. I'm gonna go pick your mom up from the airport and I'll bring her straight
01:01:28to the office. Thanks. You're the best. Well, that went better than I thought. Don't underestimate
01:01:39yourself, Jess. You did great. Heya, Jess. What are you doing here?
01:01:52What are you doing here? I just wanted to share with you some interesting facts about your dear
01:01:56husband, Daniel Thornton. Gianna, can you wait outside a moment?
01:02:02Okay, I'm telling you now, whatever bad made-up facts that you've come to tell me about Daniel
01:02:14because Daniel already told me everything. Everything? Are you so sure? Yeah, him and his
01:02:21father came clean about everything. There's nothing more to hide. And did they also tell
01:02:25you Daniel's supposed to marry his childhood sweetheart? What? Ashley Wimbledon, heiress to
01:02:31the famous Wimbledon family. Ring any bells? Ashley. Ashley. Who is Ashley? I heard you guys
01:02:43talking about her earlier. Oh, she's just an old childhood friend. They grew up and
01:02:50went to law school together. And she had Daniel's first kiss. He did mention Ashley.
01:03:04He did? Yeah, but he's not gonna marry her. I remember that conversation.
01:03:12Daniel's picking my mother up from the airport himself. I'll be seeing her soon.
01:03:17What are you laughing about?
01:03:24Daniel wants to bring her back, babe. You're not gonna see her.
01:03:32After years of separation with your mother, Daniel didn't let you go along with him to
01:03:37meet with her? And what kind of a husband does that? I had an early meeting this morning and
01:03:42Daniel didn't want me to worry. So easily manipulated, Jess. Just like old times. Yeah,
01:03:51well, I don't believe a word you say. Daniel isn't gonna bring her back. Care to find out together?
01:04:00Are you sure everything is taken care of? Yes, you're free to live in this country. Clara,
01:04:13I also want to apologize for everything you went through years ago. I'm deeply sorry.
01:04:18Well, you did bring me back here. Right now, I just want to see my daughter.
01:04:23Well done, sorry. Not so fast, Danny boy.
01:04:29You're too late, Lisa. Clara's here to claim Robert's inheritance back.
01:04:33Oh, I don't think so. Agents, do you think? Wait. What? This is a mistake. No.
01:04:40Clara's got past customs. She can stay. Sweetheart, you really think those little
01:04:43documents can stop this? I don't think so. Back off, Lisa. Watch it, pretty boy.
01:04:50Jess. Jess. Mom. Mom. What are you doing? Where are they taking my mother? Mom, I will bring you
01:04:56back, I promise. Just stay strong. Oh, sis, it looks like you've been screwed by the Thorntons
01:05:01again. Adrian, you sabotaged this. You'll pay for this. See, babe, I told you he's not bringing her
01:05:08back. You said everything was taken care of. Jess, it's not me. It's them. You're lying,
01:05:14Daniel. Why don't you ask him about that thing we talked about, Jess?
01:05:20Jess. He said that you were gonna marry Ashley. Okay, so it's true. Jess, can we just talk about
01:05:27this? No. No, no, no, no. Thing is, Daniel, you promised me no more secrets. I can't trust you
01:05:34anymore. Jess, it's just, uh, looks like you lost, Daniel. You're never getting her back.
01:05:40Huh.
01:06:02Oh, thank God you're alive.
01:06:10So
01:06:30Ted, what's the problem with Clara? Her payport was flawless.
01:06:40Oh, my God.
01:06:45Agents, do your thing. Wait. What? This is a mistake. No.
01:06:51Jess. Jess, baby.
01:06:56The ICE agents weren't real. They were hired by Adrian and Lisa to kidnap Clara. Hold on a sec.
01:07:05You're right, boss. We found out those people want her. What should we do?
01:07:10I need to find out where they took them. Use all our contacts.
01:07:14I'm not gonna let them get away with this. On it, boss.
01:07:24Well, well, well, Clara. Bet you didn't expect to see me again, did you?
01:07:30We finally have what it takes to get it all back? Don't look at me like that. You disgust me.
01:07:41Jess, we need to talk. I don't want to talk to you. It's about your mom. I think she was
01:07:46kidnapped by Adrian and Lisa's people. The ICE agents weren't real. What are you talking about?
01:07:53I spoke to Ted. He told me that Clara legally came into the country. It was a setup. Do you
01:08:00actually expect me to believe that after all the lies? You're so full of shit, Daniel.
01:08:12Hello, bastard child. Yes, we have your mother. And if you ever want to see her again,
01:08:18follow the directions to the address that we just sent you. And don't bring anyone, especially Daniel.
01:08:24Let me come with you. No, they want me alone. I don't want to risk it.
01:08:30Jess. Don't follow me. I will not let you do this alone.
01:08:40Mom? Bastard child, over here.
01:08:44You let her go. This has gone on far enough. Not so fast, Liz. This is only the beginning.
01:08:55You sign this, we let her go. And what is it?
01:09:01An agreement signing everything over to us. The house, company, everything.
01:09:15Signed? Now let her go. God, you are so naive, sis.
01:09:22I know. What more do you want? Get 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. That's better.
01:09:43Now, bark like a dog.
01:09:58That's enough, Kristen.
01:10:04We're getting out of here, Monk.
01:10:13Let's get her out of here. Come on, let's go.
01:10:18God, Daniel!
01:10:22The cops!
01:10:24We need to finish this. Mom, we gotta go. Come on.
01:10:28Daniel!
01:10:34Jess.
01:10:36Don't try and talk to the police. They're on their way.
01:10:40Jess, I'm so sorry.
01:10:42Why are you apologizing?
01:10:44Just don't move.
01:10:55The 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. You saved us.
01:11:12Hello again, Mr. Thornton.
01:11:14Officer, you're here.
01:11:16Yes. You promised me last week you'd get that interview done.
01:11:22Officer, my husband is injured. He's literally lying in bed.
01:11:27Well, that doesn't change the requirements.
01:11:30Jess, it's okay. We can do the interview.
01:11:38We can do the interview.
01:11:40Are you insane?
01:11:42We haven't rehearsed this.
01:11:44Jess, when you see, we've been rehearsing this whole Christmas.
01:11:49There's no better time to do this.
01:11:51You're right.
01:11:55We're ready, officer.
01:11:57Let's start with the question I asked you last week.
01:12:00When did you two first meet?
01:12:02Five years and four months ago.
01:12:04I don't understand.
01:12:06Last time you said it was six months ago when the other one said it was eight months ago.
01:12:11We lied, officer.
01:12:13But it was five years ago.
01:12:15At a pool party.
01:12:17And we had our first kiss when we first met.
01:12:22It sounds pretty far-fetched.
01:12:24But for some reason, I want to give you two the benefit of the doubt.
01:12:32It sounds pretty far-fetched.
01:12:34But for some reason, I want to give you two the benefit of the doubt.
01:12:39Daniel 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.
01:12:46One last question.
01:12:48How frequently have you two spent the night together in the past week?
01:12:58Relax.
01:13:00I can tell it's been at least three times.
01:13:03Right, well, that's my interview done.
01:13:05You two are quite the couple.
01:13:07Thank you, officer.
01:13:11Daniel, she's coming.
01:13:13Who's coming?
01:13:21Your fiancé.
01:13:23That's who.
01:13:27Your fiancé.
01:13:29That's who.
01:13:31Ashley.
01:13:33I guess I'm not done yet.
01:13:35You betrayed my family's trust, Daniel.
01:13:37Ashley.
01:13:39Please.
01:13:41Can't we talk about this?
01:13:43So you're Jessica Miller, hmm?
01:13:45Adrian's told me all about you.
01:13:47I don't know what Adrian told you,
01:13:49but it's not what you think.
01:13:53Daniel was supposed to marry me.
01:13:55And then you just waltzed in
01:13:57and ruined everything.
01:13:59Ashley, our engagement was long over
01:14:01before Jessica came to the picture.
01:14:07Oh, I see.
01:14:09You think this is over.
01:14:11I'm the heiress
01:14:13of the Wimbledon family.
01:14:15The Thornton name
01:14:17is as good as ruined.
01:14:19You can't do that, Ashley.
01:14:25Watch me.
01:14:29You're not
01:14:31the only heiress here.
01:14:35I own
01:14:37Miller Empire.
01:14:39And if you come
01:14:41for the Thorntons,
01:14:43the Miller Empire
01:14:45is gonna come for you
01:14:47so hard.
01:14:51You've got guts, Jessica.
01:14:55I like you.
01:14:59I gotta tell you, I didn't expect that.
01:15:01This is so much better than watching TV.
01:15:03Glad to see you've replaced
01:15:05me with someone with a little fire,
01:15:07Daniel.
01:15:12I always knew Daniel didn't
01:15:14love me, but he was too
01:15:16afraid of his father
01:15:18to ever go after his true love.
01:15:20But I
01:15:22guess I'm happy
01:15:24that he's found someone who wants
01:15:26the same things as him.
01:15:28So...
01:15:31that's it?
01:15:33That's it.
01:15:37Enjoy your happy
01:15:39ending, darling.
01:15:43Andrea?
01:15:45Bring the car around.
01:15:49Did that actually just happen?
01:15:51Yeah.
01:15:53You two really don't
01:15:55let anyone or anything
01:15:57get in the way of true love.
01:15:59You didn't see that coming.
01:16:03This is all your fault, Mom.
01:16:05If you wouldn't have been so reckless,
01:16:07then maybe we wouldn't be in this mess.
01:16:09Don't put all the blame on me.
01:16:11You're just as much a part of this as I am.
01:16:13Where is Adrian?
01:16:15Miss me?
01:16:17Where have you been?
01:16:19Just tying up a few loose ends.
01:16:21Don't worry about it.
01:16:23Everything's going according to plan.
01:16:26We're falling apart.
01:16:38What did you do, Adrian?
01:16:40Well, me, myself?
01:16:42I done nothing illegal.
01:16:44You two on the other hand...
01:16:46that's a different story.
01:16:48You set us up!
01:16:50I'm just ensuring my own safety.
01:16:52After all, I kept my hands clean.
01:16:56Ouch!
01:16:58You're not going to get away with this, asshole!
01:17:00I already have.
01:17:10I remember when this place was filled with
01:17:12warmth and laughter.
01:17:14It used to be a real family home back then.
01:17:16Then things just went south.
01:17:18Things will be fine again, Mom,
01:17:20I promise.
01:17:22We'll turn this into a good family house.
01:17:24No more hatred.
01:17:26No more backstabbing.
01:17:28I missed you every single day, Jess.
01:17:30I'm so sorry for everything
01:17:32both of us had to go through.
01:17:37Jessica?
01:17:39Wow.
01:17:41I am so sorry
01:17:43for everything I've done to you both.
01:17:45I was wrong.
01:17:47And I know I can never
01:17:49fully make up for it,
01:17:51but I want to try.
01:17:53For so many years,
01:17:55it's going to be hard to forgive and forget.
01:17:57I know, Clara.
01:18:01Jess, are you alright?
01:18:05Yeah, I know, I'm...
01:18:07I'm fine.
01:18:09I just feel...
01:18:11I just feel nauseous, that's all.
01:18:13Have you been getting any other
01:18:15symptoms like dizziness
01:18:17or fatigue?
01:18:19Yeah, but I just thought that was
01:18:21from all the stress.
01:18:25Sweetheart,
01:18:27you're pregnant!
01:18:29Really?
01:18:31You're showing all the signs, Jess.
01:18:33We're gonna have a baby!
01:18:37Wait, that means I'm gonna be a grandpa!
01:18:41Yeah!
01:18:43I love you.
01:18:49Daniel,
01:18:53there's something you need to do.
01:18:57What's this?
01:18:59This is a ring your grandma left.
01:19:01And I think
01:19:03this is the perfect time
01:19:05to use it.
01:19:07Wanna do this?
01:19:09Yeah, go.
01:19:13Jess?
01:19:19Jess?
01:19:23Jess, I know we've only ever spent
01:19:25time together a week during Christmas.
01:19:27And we've been through so much
01:19:29in that time. And over the past
01:19:31five years, all I've wanted to do
01:19:33was be with you.
01:19:35And I've had to endure the pain of that not being possible.
01:19:37I want to spend
01:19:39every waking moment in time with you.
01:19:42What I'm trying to say is, Jess,
01:19:48will you marry me?
01:19:52For real this time?
01:19:54Yes, Daniel! Yes, I will marry you!
01:19:56Yes!
01:19:58Really?
01:20:00Yes!
