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

00:54:12Four million dollars!
00:54:15What are they doing? Where did they get that money from?
00:54:18I don't know, but they're definitely trying to humiliate you here.
00:54:21Really?
00:54:22But I don't even care about this bid.
00:54:25Five million dollars!
00:54:27Daniel, what are you doing?
00:54:29Don't worry, Jess. I've got this.

00:54:49Seven million dollars.
00:54:52Eight million dollars.
00:54:56Did that just happen?
00:54:57Ten million dollars!
00:55:02Awesome.
00:55:04Ten million, once, twice, sold.
00:55:08Two gentlemen there.
00:55:17Where did you get that money from?
00:55:20Well, do you remember me telling you about I have a powerful friend?
00:55:25Yeah, the one who helped me find my mother.
00:55:29Jessica.
00:55:30James Thornton.
00:55:32In the flesh. Or Mrs. Thornton.
00:55:36I want to apologize to you.
00:55:38I am truly sorry for everything I did to you and your mother.
00:55:42But I'm trying my best to make amends.
00:55:45Well, I don't know what to say.
00:55:49Jess, I know it's a lot to handle. You've just got to trust me.
00:55:52Yeah, but why didn't you just tell me in the first place, Daniel?
00:55:55Jess!
00:55:57Jessica!
00:55:58Don't follow me!
00:56:03Oh, this could get interesting.
00:56:16Oh, look who's all alone.
00:56:21No, just leave me alone.
00:56:23You're never going to win against James Thornton. He's my mother's best friend.
00:56:27You're going to lose everything.
00:56:29Poor babe, still played by the big boys.
00:56:32James Thornton and his son have been playing you all along.
00:56:36What did you just say? James Thornton and his son?
00:56:41Wait, Jess, you didn't know? Daniel Thornton is his son.
00:56:47Oh, my God.
00:56:48I didn't know that. Now that I do.
00:56:51Wow.
00:56:52That's enough!
00:56:54Oh, excuse me, Mr. Thornton.
00:56:57Crown Prince said Thornton family.
00:57:01This man's been lying to you all along.
00:57:04Poor little girl's got no one to trust.
00:57:07Both of you, get out of here.
00:57:11Okay.
00:57:20Jess, I've been trying to tell you.
00:57:22Am I a joke? Pity you.
00:57:24I'm not a joke.
00:57:26Jess, I've been trying to tell you.
00:57:28Am I a joke? Pity you.
00:57:30No, what do you mean?
00:57:32You and your father.
00:57:34You've been playing me this whole time.
00:57:37No, I've been standing by your side all the time, Jess.
00:57:40I can't trust you.
00:57:43You lied to me.
00:57:45You're right. You're right.
00:57:50I have been hiding things from you.
00:57:53You know what I haven't told you yet?
00:57:56Another big secret.
00:57:59Are you sure you want to hear this?
00:58:06The other big secret is,
00:58:08the first time we met isn't what you think it is.
00:58:11It was five years ago.
00:58:14Five years ago?
00:58:16Yes.
00:58:17At a party.
00:58:20I was drunk and I fell in a pool.
00:58:31Oh, thank God you're alive.
00:58:37I was drowning and you saved my life.
00:58:40But you won't remember that.
00:58:43But I will forever be grateful for what you did for me that day.
00:58:47That day?
00:58:49That was you?
00:58:50Yes.
00:58:51My father forbid me from seeing you.
00:58:54But I didn't care.
00:58:56I confronted him.
00:58:58You can't tell me what to do, Dad!
00:59:00You can't stop me from seeing her!
00:59:01I'm doing what's best for you, Daniel.
00:59:03That girl and all her family are nothing but trouble.
00:59:08And then he decided to tell me about everything he did to you and your mom.
00:59:12And I felt so guilty.
00:59:13It's okay.
00:59:17I was ashamed to approach you.
00:59:19I just didn't know how to face you without making things worse.
00:59:22And I thought the best thing to do was just leave you alone.
00:59:25No, I know.
00:59:27And then I heard about you being deported and I just couldn't let that happen.
00:59:30Well,
00:59:33I saved you.
00:59:35And you saved me.
00:59:39Because we just belong together.
00:59:44Ew.
00:59:46Corny.
00:59:49But just...
00:59:52No more secrets.
00:59:54Okay?
00:59:56I promise.
00:59:58No more secrets.
01:00:14You're up early.
01:00:16Yeah.
01:00:18I'm gonna go pick your mom up from the airport.
01:00:20Better sooner than later.
01:00:25Gianna's just fixed me.
01:00:27She said that I have my first weekly exec meeting this morning.
01:00:31I should postpone it.
01:00:33No.
01:00:34You should definitely go to that.
01:00:36You need to look good in front of your board.
01:00:38Really?
01:00:39Yeah.
01:00:40I'm gonna go pick your mom up from the airport and I'll bring her straight to the office.
01:00:43Thanks.
01:00:45You're the best.
01:00:50Well, that went better than I thought.
01:00:52Don't underestimate yourself, Jess.
01:00:54You did great.
01:00:59Heya, Jess.
01:01:01What are you doing here?
01:01:06What are you doing here?
01:01:08I wanted to share with you some interesting facts about your dear husband, Daniel Thornton.
01:01:13Gianna, can you wait outside a moment?
01:01:20Okay, I'm telling you now.
01:01:22Whatever bad, made-up facts that you've come to tell me about Daniel is not gonna work.
01:01:28Because Daniel already told me everything.
01:01:31Everything?
01:01:32Are you so sure?
01:01:34Him and his father came clean about everything.
01:01:36There is nothing more to hide.
01:01:38And did they also tell you Daniel was supposed to marry his childhood sweetheart?
01:01:41What?
01:01:42Ashley Wimbledon.
01:01:44Heiress to the famous Wimbledon family.
01:01:46Ring any bells?
01:01:48Ashley.
01:01:52Ashley.
01:01:54Who is Ashley?
01:01:56I heard you guys talking about her earlier.
01:01:58Oh, she's just an old childhood friend.
01:02:03They grew up and went to law school together.
01:02:06And she had Daniel's first kiss.
01:02:12He did mention Ashley.
01:02:17He did?
01:02:19Yeah, but he's not gonna marry her.
01:02:21I remember that conversation.
01:02:26Daniel's picking my mother up from the airport himself.
01:02:29I'll be seeing her soon.
01:02:32What are you laughing about?
01:02:38Daniel wants to bring her back, babe.
01:02:41But he's not gonna see her.
01:02:46After years of separation with your mother,
01:02:49Daniel didn't let you go along with him to meet with her?
01:02:52And what kind of a husband does that?
01:02:54I had an early meeting this morning and Daniel didn't want me to worry.
01:02:58So easily manipulated, Jess.
01:03:02Just like old times.
01:03:04Yeah, well, I don't believe a word you say.
01:03:08Daniel isn't gonna bring her back.
01:03:11Care to find out together?
01:03:21Are you sure everything is taken care of?
01:03:23Yes. You're free to live in this country.
01:03:26Clara, I also want to apologize for everything you went through years ago.
01:03:30I'm deeply sorry.
01:03:32Well, you did bring me back here.
01:03:34Right now I just want to see my daughter.
01:03:36We'll go to her.
01:03:38Not so fast, Danny boy.
01:03:43You're too late, Lisa.
01:03:45Clara's here to claim Robert's inheritance back.
01:03:47Ooh, I don't think so.
01:03:49Agents, do you think?
01:03:50Wait.
01:03:51What?
01:03:52This is a mistake.
01:03:53No.
01:03:54Past customs.
01:03:55She can stay.
01:03:56Sweetheart, you really think those little documents can stop this?
01:04:00I don't think so.
01:04:01Back off, Lisa.
01:04:02Watch it, pretty boy.
01:04:04Jess!
01:04:05Mom! Mom!
01:04:06What are you doing?
01:04:07Where are they taking my mother?
01:04:09Mom, I'll bring her back, I promise.
01:04:11Just stay strong!
01:04:12Sis, it looks like you've been screwed by the Thorntons again.
01:04:15Adrienne, you sabotaged this.
01:04:18You'll pay for this.
01:04:19See, babe?
01:04:20I told you he's not bringing her back.
01:04:23You said everything was taken care of.
01:04:25Jess, it's not me.
01:04:26It's them.
01:04:27You're lying, Daniel.
01:04:28Why don't you ask him about that thing we talked about?
01:04:30Jess.
01:04:34Jess.
01:04:35He said that you were going to marry Ashley.
01:04:37Okay, so it's true.
01:04:38Jess, can we just talk about this?
01:04:41No.
01:04:42No, no, no, no.
01:04:43Thing is, Daniel, you promised me no more secrets.
01:04:46I can't trust you anymore.
01:04:48Jess!
01:04:49It's just...
01:04:50Looks like you lost, Daniel.
01:04:52You're never getting her back.
01:05:15Oh, thank God you're alive.
01:05:23Huh?
01:05:44Ted, what's the problem with Clara?
01:05:46Her payport was flawless.
01:05:47You're right, boss.
01:05:48I checked with customers in the USCIS,
01:05:50and they both confirmed that she illegally entered the country.
01:05:53That's good.
01:05:54That is us.
01:05:58Agents, do your thing.
01:06:00Wait.
01:06:01What?
01:06:02This is a mistake.
01:06:03No.
01:06:04Jess.
01:06:05Jess, baby!
01:06:06Mom!
01:06:09The ICE agents weren't real.
01:06:11They were hired by Adrian and Lisa to kidnap Clara.
01:06:14Hold on a sec.
01:06:19You're right, boss.
01:06:20We found out those people want her.
01:06:22What should we do?
01:06:24I need to find out where they took them.
01:06:26Use all our contacts.
01:06:27I'm not going to let them get away with this.
01:06:29On it, boss.
01:06:38Well, well, well, Clara.
01:06:41I bet you didn't expect to see me again, did you?
01:06:44We finally have what it takes to get it all back?
01:06:47Don't look at me like that.
01:06:48You disgust me.
01:06:55Jess, we need to talk.
01:06:57I don't want to talk to you.
01:06:58It's about your mom.
01:06:59I think she was kidnapped by Adrian and Lisa's people.
01:07:02The ICE agents weren't real.
01:07:05What are you talking about?
01:07:07I spoke to Ted.
01:07:08He told me that Clara illegally came into the country.
01:07:11It was a setup.
01:07:13Do you actually expect me to believe that?
01:07:16You're all the lies.
01:07:17You're so full of shit, Daniel.
01:07:26Hello, bastard child.
01:07:28Yes, we have your mother.
01:07:30And if you ever want to see her again,
01:07:32follow the directions to the address that we just sent you.
01:07:35And don't bring anyone.
01:07:36Especially Daniel.
01:07:41Let me come with you.
01:07:42No, they want me alone.
01:07:43I don't want to disturb them.
01:07:44Jess.
01:07:45Follow me.
01:07:46I will not let you do this alone.
01:07:54Mom?
01:07:55Bastard child, over here.
01:07:57Let her go.
01:07:58This has gone on far enough.
01:08:00Not so fast, sis.
01:08:03This is only the beginning.
01:08:08You sign this,
01:08:10we let her go.
01:08:12And what is it?
01:08:13An agreement signing everything over to us.
01:08:16The house,
01:08:18company,
01:08:20everything.
01:08:28It's signed?
01:08:30No, let her go.
01:08:32God, you are so naive, sis.
01:08:35What more do you want?
01:08:38Get down on your knees and show that you know your place.
01:08:43Wait.
01:08:48That's better.
01:08:57Now bark like a dog.
01:09:03Come on.
01:09:08Come on.
01:09:09Come on.
01:09:14That's enough, Kristen.
01:09:20We're getting out of here, Mom.
01:09:27Let's get her out of here.
01:09:29Come on, let's go.
01:09:31God, Daniel!
01:09:35I can't.
01:09:37Mom, we need to finish this.
01:09:38Mom, we gotta go.
01:09:39Come on.
01:09:41Daniel!
01:09:47Jess.
01:09:50Don't try and talk to the police.
01:09:52They're on their way.
01:09:53Jess.
01:09:55I'm so sorry.
01:09:56Why are you apologizing?
01:09:58Just don't move.
01:10:09The doctor said it was nothing serious, so
01:10:12you'll be out of here soon.
01:10:14Jess, I just want to apologize.
01:10:16I am so sorry.
01:10:18Daniel, what are you apologizing for?
01:10:21You saved my mom, you saved us.
01:10:26Hello again, Mr. Thornton.
01:10:28Officer, you're here.
01:10:30Yes.
01:10:31You promised me last week you'd get that interview done.
01:10:34Officer, my husband is injured.
01:10:37He's literally lying in bed.
01:10:39Well, that doesn't change the requirements.
01:10:42Jess, it's okay.
01:10:45We can do the interview.
01:10:50We can do the interview.
01:10:53Are you insane?
01:10:55We haven't rehearsed this.
01:10:57Jess, when you see,
01:11:00we've been rehearsing this whole Christmas.
01:11:01There's no better time to do this.
01:11:03You're right.
01:11:07We're ready, officer.
01:11:09Let's start with the question I asked you last week.
01:11:12When did you two first meet?
01:11:14Five years and four months ago.
01:11:16I don't understand.
01:11:18Last time you said it was six months ago
01:11:21and the other one said it was eight months ago.
01:11:23We lied, officer.
01:11:25But it was five years ago.
01:11:27At a pool party.
01:11:28And we had our first kiss when we first met.
01:11:33It sounds pretty far-fetched.
01:11:35But for some reason,
01:11:37I want to give you two the benefit of the doubt.
01:11:43It sounds pretty far-fetched.
01:11:45But for some reason,
01:11:47I want to give you two the benefit of the doubt.
01:11:50Daniel risked his life to save me and my mother.
01:11:54There's nothing more important than that.
01:11:55Daniel risked his life to save me and my mother.
01:11:58There's nothing more that he needs to do to prove his love for me.
01:12:01One last question.
01:12:03How frequently have you two spent the night together in the past week?
01:12:13Relax.
01:12:15I can tell it's been at least three times.
01:12:17Right, well that's my interview done.
01:12:20You two are quite the couple.
01:12:22Thank you, officer.
01:12:23Daniel!
01:12:25Daniel!
01:12:26She's coming!
01:12:27Who's coming?
01:12:34Your fiancé.
01:12:36That's who.
01:12:41Your fiancé.
01:12:43That's who.
01:12:44Ashley.
01:12:46I guess I'm not done yet.
01:12:48You betrayed my family's trust, Daniel.
01:12:51Ashley.
01:12:53Please.
01:12:54Can't we talk about this?
01:12:56So you're Jessica Miller, huh?
01:12:58Adrian's told me all about you.
01:13:01I don't know what Adrian told you,
01:13:04but it's not what you think.
01:13:06Daniel was supposed to marry me,
01:13:09and then you just waltzed in and ruined everything.
01:13:12Ashley.
01:13:14Our engagement was long over before Jessica came into the picture.
01:13:20Oh.
01:13:21I see.
01:13:22You think this is over.
01:13:25I'm the heiress of the Wimbledon family.
01:13:29The Thornton name is as good as ruined.
01:13:34You can't do that, Ashley.
01:13:39Watch me.
01:13:45You're not the only heiress here.
01:13:48Shh.
01:13:50I own Miller Empire.
01:13:53And if you come for the Thorntons,
01:13:56the Miller Empire is gonna come for you.
01:14:00So hard.
01:14:05You've got guts, Jessica.
01:14:08I like you.
01:14:12I gotta tell you, I didn't expect that.
01:14:15This is so much better than watching TV.
01:14:18Glad to see you've replaced me with someone with a little fire, Daniel.
01:14:26I always knew Daniel didn't love me,
01:14:29but he was too afraid of his father
01:14:32to ever go after his true love.
01:14:35But I guess I'm happy
01:14:38that he's found someone who wants the same things as him.
01:14:42So...
01:14:45that's it?
01:14:47That's it.
01:14:51Enjoy your happy ending, darling.
01:14:57Andrea?
01:14:58Bring the car around.
01:15:02Did that actually just happen?
01:15:04Yeah.
01:15:05Wow.
01:15:07You two really don't let anyone or anything
01:15:10get in the way of true love.
01:15:13You didn't see that coming.
01:15:17This is all your fault, Mom.
01:15:18If you wouldn't have been so reckless,
01:15:19then maybe we wouldn't be in this mess.
01:15:21Don't put all the blame on me.
01:15:22You're just as much a part of this as I am.
01:15:24Where is Ainsley?
01:15:25She should be here by now.
01:15:28Miss me?
01:15:30Where have you been?
01:15:31Just tying up a few loose ends.
01:15:33Don't worry about it.
01:15:34Everything's going according to plan.
01:15:36Plan?
01:15:37What plan?
01:15:38Everything's falling apart.
01:15:39Everything's falling apart.
01:15:51What did you do, Adrian?
01:15:53Well, me myself,
01:15:54I done nothing illegal.
01:15:56You two on the other hand,
01:15:58that's a different story.
01:16:00You set us up!
01:16:02I'm just ensuring my own safety.
01:16:04After all,
01:16:06I kept my hands clean.
01:16:10Oh, God.
01:16:12Ow!
01:16:13You're not gonna get away with this, asshole!
01:16:16I already have.
01:16:24I remember when this place was filled with warmth and laughter.
01:16:28Used to be a real family home back then.
01:16:31Then things just went south.
01:16:33Things will be fine again, Mom.
01:16:35I promise.
01:16:36We'll turn this into a good family house.
01:16:39No more hatred.
01:16:41No more backstabbing.
01:16:42I missed you every single day, Jess.
01:16:45I'm so sorry for everything both of us had to go through.
01:16:51Jessica?
01:16:53Yeah?
01:16:55I am so sorry
01:16:57for everything that I've done to you both.
01:17:00I was wrong.
01:17:01And I know I can never fully make up for it.
01:17:05But I want to try.
01:17:06James, you kept us apart for so many years.
01:17:09It's gonna be hard to forgive and forget.
01:17:11I know, Clara.
01:17:16Jess, are you all right?
01:17:20Yeah, no, I'm...
01:17:22I'm fine.
01:17:23You know, I just feel...
01:17:25just nauseous, that's all.
01:17:28Have you been getting any other symptoms, like
01:17:31dizziness or fatigue?
01:17:34Yeah, but I just thought that was from all the stress.
01:17:37Oh.
01:17:40Sweetheart.
01:17:42You're pregnant.
01:17:43Really?
01:17:44You're showing all the signs, Jess.
01:17:49We're gonna have a baby!
01:17:51Wait.
01:17:53That means I'm gonna be a grandpa!
01:17:56Yeah!
01:18:05Daniel.
01:18:07There's something you need to do.
01:18:12What's this?
01:18:13This is a ring your grandma left.
01:18:16And I think this is the perfect time to use it.
01:18:20Go get it.
01:18:21I gotta do this?
01:18:22Yeah.
01:18:23Go.
01:18:33Jess.
01:18:34Jess.
01:18:35Jess!
01:18:38Jess, I know we've only ever spent time together a week during Christmas.
01:18:42And we've been through so much in that time.
01:18:45And over the past five years, all I've wanted to do is be with you.
01:18:50And I've had to endure the pain of that not being possible.
01:18:53I want to spend every waking moment in time with you.
01:18:56What I'm trying to say is, Jess...
01:18:59Will you marry me?
01:19:03For real this time?
01:19:05Yes, Daniel! Yes, I will marry you!
01:19:07Yes!
01:19:08Really?
01:19:09Yes!
01:19:11Daniel.
01:19:13What?
01:19:1418,000 yuan of dowries?
01:19:16Vani, you have a paralyzed mom and a lousy gambling dad to your family.
01:19:20I'm a good match way out of your league.
01:19:22You should send me a car as dowries instead of asking me to buy you a car.
01:19:25Daniel.
01:19:26Daniel.
01:19:27Daniel.
01:19:28Daniel.
01:19:29Daniel.
01:19:30Daniel.
01:19:31Daniel.
01:19:32Daniel.
01:19:33Daniel.
01:19:34Daniel.
01:19:35Daniel.
01:19:36Daniel.
01:19:37Daniel.
01:19:38Daniel.
01:19:39You should send me a car as dowries instead of asking me for dowries.
01:19:41But I earn more than you.
01:19:43And I paid the down payment of the matrimonial house.
01:19:46Your parents' names are on the house property certificate.
01:19:48And now you ask me for a car?
01:19:50I have no money.
01:19:56Why don't you ask your family for the money?
01:19:58If they don't give, take it as a loan.
01:20:01We can pay them back after we get married.
01:20:05Vani.
01:20:06I really want to marry you.
01:20:08Can't you just do more for our future life?
01:20:11Huh?
01:20:12Chad.
01:20:13Don't get me wrong.
01:20:14I'm here to ask for dowries, not give out.
01:20:18Vani.
01:20:19You'd better take the offer.
01:20:20It is you eager to marry out.
01:20:22Saying your mom is seriously ill.
01:20:23And you need a marriage to relieve her worries.
01:20:25Look at you.
01:20:26The least eligible woman.
01:20:27I pity you so that I offer to marry you.
01:20:28If you don't buy me a car, the marriage is off the table.
01:20:31Right.
01:20:32I'm desperate to get married.
01:20:33But not desperate enough to marry you.
01:20:35You!
01:20:38If I won't marry you, who would like to be with you?
01:20:47Hey dude.
01:20:48Are you single?
01:20:49Do you mind having a wife?
01:20:50Get on board and go register now.
01:20:52I'd like to give it a shot.
01:20:53Anyhow, I don't have a wife.
01:20:56Do you see that?
01:20:57He want to marry me.
01:21:00Scumbag.
01:21:09I'm married?
01:21:11Pack your things tonight.
01:21:13And move to my...
01:21:14Our home.
01:21:16Where?
01:21:18So, we are living together?
01:21:20What are you thinking about?
01:21:21We're married.
01:21:22It's natural for us to live together.
01:21:25Well.
01:21:27I'm John.
01:21:28An office worker.
01:21:29I'm usually busy at work.
01:21:31When you move in, you don't need to take care of me.
01:21:33I can support you with my salary.
01:21:35I have to work now.
01:21:36See you then.
01:21:37I'll pick you up after work.
01:21:38I see.
01:21:39We are working slaves.
01:21:40It's not easy to make a living.
01:21:41Just go back to work.
01:21:42How do you go home?
01:21:43Why not take a taxi?
01:21:44I'll pay for it.
01:21:45There are shared bikes at the gate.
01:21:47I can ride one.
01:21:48Working slave?
01:21:49My grandma chose her to be my wife.
01:21:51She seems to be interesting for now.
01:21:53I fainted last time.
01:21:55It's her saved me.
01:21:56After I left the hospital, she knew I lived alone.
01:21:59And made many calls to cheer me up.
01:22:01John.
01:22:02She's the kindest girl I've ever met.
01:22:04You'll love her when you see her.
01:22:07Grandma.
01:22:08We are in a new era.
01:22:09Why do you want to arrange marriage for me?
01:22:10What?
01:22:11I got her schedule yesterday.
01:22:13I want you to meet her.
01:22:14If you think she's a good girl,
01:22:16you can develop your relationship after marriage.
01:22:19Hear me out.
01:22:20If you don't give it a shot,
01:22:21you'll see my scenery casket when you get back.
01:22:25Boss.
01:22:26We've got 1,000-acre land of suburb of eastern China.
01:22:29Construction will be started in the middle of this month.
01:22:31Central Bank is asking us for a loan.
01:22:35Yes.
01:22:36Well.
01:22:43That's all for today.
01:22:44I'm going to pick up my wife home.
01:22:46Pick up your wife?
01:22:47What? Our boss is married?
01:22:52What gift should I give to a girl on our first date?
01:22:55Your first date?
01:22:56A lightning marriage?
01:23:01I think you are suitable for our project in Africa.
01:23:03Do you think so?
01:23:04Sorry, boss.
01:23:05I won't do it again.
01:23:06Just answer my question.
01:23:07No more bullshit.
01:23:09I think if you are not familiar with each other,
01:23:12it's better to send flowers.
01:23:14Half an hour.
01:23:15In just half an hour,
01:23:16I'll put the imported roses to the given location.
01:23:19Good.
01:23:21From now on,
01:23:22you drive my car and I'll drive yours.
01:23:28What?
01:23:29What?
01:23:32What's wrong with Mr. Lu?
01:23:34He wanna drive my old Mercedes
01:23:37instead of his fancy Phantom?
01:23:44Hey!
01:23:45Hey, what are you doing?
01:23:48Good dogs don't get underfoot.
01:23:50Hey, you!
01:23:51Get out of my way!
01:23:53Oops.
