00:00:00Cheers. May it be full of surprises.
00:00:06Ho, ho, ho. I have a gift for you. Jessica, you have inherited this mansion, along with
00:00:12your father's business, empire, and assets worth over a billion dollars. I just need
00:00:17a signature from you. Oh, and a hundred and five million dollars in cash.
00:00:21We're, we're rich! Let me hold on to it for you, baby. Yeah.
00:00:30You know, my whole life, I grew up in foster care, moving from place to place, and now
00:00:38I finally have a place that I, I can call home. Well, it's real great to win the jackpot.
00:00:43No, my only wish is to, is to reunite with my mother.
00:00:48You bastard child! You will never reunite with your mother. We made sure that that whore
00:00:54is gone forever. My mother is gone because of you?
00:00:58Well, we had a little help from James Thornton, the most powerful man in the Thornton family.
00:01:04Time for you to go back to your poor little country, sis.
00:01:07Yes, ma'am. USCIS. Your visa expired years ago. You're being deported.
00:01:13What? No, there must, must be some mistake. Adrienne, didn't you help me file my immigration
00:01:17paperwork? Whoops. Well, I guess I screwed up.
00:01:22What? Hey, baby. Adrienne, are you cheating on me? With her?
00:01:30Two's the right side, babe. You'll never win against them.
00:01:33That's true. Um, according to the terms of the will, non-citizens
00:01:37are not eligible to inherit the estate. Everything will pass through your next of kin, Lisa Ann
00:01:43and Kristen Miller. You thought you could get rich overnight?
00:01:48Keep dreaming. Seriously?
00:01:51Bon voyage, have sis. The boss is urgent. They're about to deport
00:02:02a woman named Jessica Miller. Jessica Miller? It's her.
00:02:13Oh, thank God you're alive. She's so beautiful and kind. The girl I've
00:02:20always dreamed of. She saved my life once. I owe her.
00:02:28Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. Jessica? Do I know you?
00:02:33She doesn't remember me. I'm Daniel. You're a lawyer. Just pretend we
00:02:42know each other. If I can get you out of here. I've spoken to the judge and Miss Miller should
00:02:47be released immediately. We can't deport her. She is about to marry a U.S. citizen.
00:02:54Who's the lucky guy? I am. I'm marrying her.
00:03:04A fake marriage won't save her. Our marriage is real.
00:03:08Yeah, 100% real. Prove it then.
00:03:18That's it? You call that a kiss?
00:03:22Shh.
00:03:33Need more proof, officer? Look, this guy is a lawyer to some of the most important
00:03:38families in town. And if you don't let her go, he'll make sure you lose your damn job.
00:03:43Fine, you can have her. Thank you, officer.
00:03:47Guys, I think we're good.
00:03:51It's not over.
00:03:55We'll be checking your marital status and conducting interviews.
00:03:58And there are a few very specific requirements you should know.
00:04:01Make sure you two are staying in the same house and sleeping in the same bed.
00:04:06Or it's game over.
00:04:08Or it's game over.
00:04:12Well, thank you for the rescue.
00:04:20Oh, it's no problem.
00:04:22But, um, Daniel, would you, would you marry me?
00:04:29Oh, Jessica, I've waited for this moment for five years.
00:04:32I mean, it would only be a contract marriage.
00:04:36But once I get my green card, I'll inherit my father's business empire
00:04:41and I'll share half of it with you.
00:04:44Even your misunderstanding looks so cute. I only want you, Jessica.
00:04:48But before I get my green card,
00:04:51you're going to have to help me deal with my stepsister and her mom.
00:04:56They're trying to get rid of me and they've already stolen my fortune
00:05:00and they made my mother disappear.
00:05:05Deal.
00:05:06What? That's it?
00:05:11This lily stands for loyalties and new beginnings.
00:05:15Something that I want with you.
00:05:17Now I know it's rushed.
00:05:20But I promise you, I will buy you a proper ring soon.
00:05:30Baby.
00:05:33From now on, let's make every Christmas our own.
00:05:36Filled with memories.
00:05:50You, you can't do this!
00:05:52Jess, it's okay. Just wait here. I'll handle it.
00:06:00What?
00:06:02Why are you helping that girl?
00:06:04Kristen Miller is our ally and she wants her the hell out of this picture.
00:06:08It's too late, Dad. We already got married.
00:06:11Are you insane?
00:06:13Did you forget you're supposed to marry Ashley?
00:06:18Daniel Thornton.
00:06:20My mother is gone because of you?
00:06:23Well, we had a little help from James Thornton,
00:06:26the most powerful man in the Thornton family.
00:06:30Wait, I recognize that face.
00:06:33From the newspaper, that was James Thornton.
00:06:36From the Thornton family, the family responsible for my mother's disappearance.
00:06:44Stop telling me what I can and cannot do.
00:06:46She saved my life. I owe it to her.
00:06:48Roll the hell up, Daniel.
00:06:50You need to remember your position as the heir to our family.
00:06:54And you need to divorce that girl.
00:06:56Now.
00:06:57I'm doing this to clean your mess up.
00:06:59Just leave us alone.
00:07:08Sorry about that.
00:07:10Is your name Daniel Thornton?
00:07:14Yeah.
00:07:17The Thornton family are responsible for the disappearance of my mother.
00:07:21I have been searching for her my entire life.
00:07:25Jess.
00:07:26No.
00:07:27I can explain.
00:07:28No, I'm not marrying Thornton.
00:07:29Wait, wait, wait.
00:07:30Jess, Jess.
00:07:31I'm not who you think I am.
00:07:33I have nothing to do with that family.
00:07:34Oh, really?
00:07:35Because your name is right here on the marriage certificate.
00:07:38Okay.
00:07:39I share the last name as Thornton.
00:07:41But I am not one of them.
00:07:43Thornton is a common name.
00:07:44Just an ordinary guy.
00:07:45Really?
00:07:46Well, I don't believe you.
00:07:47I saw you talking to James Thornton.
00:07:50Is he your father?
00:07:54Is he your father?
00:07:55No, he's not my father.
00:07:56He was threatening to drive you out of the country
00:07:58and I was not going to have anything to do with it.
00:08:00Jess.
00:08:01I'm on your side.
00:08:03You're not one of them.
00:08:06I'm sorry.
00:08:09It's okay.
00:08:10Don't worry about it.
00:08:15Well, you have a nice apartment.
00:08:18Welcome.
00:08:20Is that your Labrador?
00:08:22It looks exactly like mine.
00:08:23I got mine as a Christmas present when I was nine.
00:08:26No way.
00:08:27I got mine as a Christmas present when I was nine.
00:08:29That's crazy.
00:08:34Jess, we're going to have to sleep in the same room together
00:08:36just in case immigration ambush us.
00:08:38Yeah, but are you sure you're okay sleeping on the carpet?
00:08:42I mean, you've done so much for me already and I just...
00:08:45Jess, please.
00:08:46I insist.
00:08:47We made a deal, remember?
00:08:49I also want to thank you
00:08:52for giving me the chance to get rich.
00:08:55It's okay, Daniel.
00:09:17Jess?
00:09:28She's buying on me.
00:09:31No.
00:09:32No, no, no, no.
00:09:33I was just passing by and just...
00:09:37Do you need anything?
00:09:39I was joking.
00:09:40Yeah, could you pass me the towel?
00:09:43It's just hanging up next to the door.
00:09:45Yeah, sure, sure.
00:10:01Oh, my God.
00:10:02What?
00:10:03I just got fired.
00:10:04What?
00:10:07Wait, Jess, let me go with you.
00:10:10What?
00:10:12Yeah.
00:10:15What?
00:10:24Sam, please, don't fire me.
00:10:26I'm sorry, Jess,
00:10:27but your immigration issue
00:10:30put us in a tough spot.
00:10:32I worked for this company for years.
00:10:35I'm sorry, Jess.
00:10:36There's nothing I can do.
00:10:40Sorry.
00:10:45Look who's here.
00:10:47Someone who just got fired.
00:10:50This suits you.
00:10:55It was you.
00:10:56I should have known you were behind this.
00:10:58I'm not gonna let you stay here and ruin things.
00:11:01I'm gonna take away everything you have, sister.
00:11:08You just made a big mistake, sir.
00:11:10Who are you?
00:11:11My name is Daniel Thornton,
00:11:13son of James Thornton,
00:11:15the chairman of Thornton Enterprise.
00:11:18Oh, uh, Mr. Thornton,
00:11:21uh, welcome.
00:11:23What brings you here?
00:11:26Well, I have some good news for you.
00:11:29Jessica Miller,
00:11:31she's just closed a billion-dollar deal.
00:11:34Take a look.
00:11:36Oh, my God.
00:11:42It's real.
00:11:44Absolutely.
00:11:45With her hard work and dedication,
00:11:47she's made this possible.
00:11:49It's a real shame
00:11:50you're gonna lose such a valuable employee.
00:11:53Oh, uh, Mr. Thornton,
00:11:55um, I have made a decision
00:11:58that I will never forget.
00:12:00I will never forget.
00:12:02Oh, uh, Mr. Thornton,
00:12:04um, I have made a huge mistake.
00:12:08Uh, Jessica will stay.
00:12:11Good.
00:12:13And, uh,
00:12:15make sure nobody knows we had this conversation.
00:12:21Jessica!
00:12:23You should have told me!
00:12:28What are you talking about, Sam?
00:12:30Jessica!
00:12:31You secured a huge deal for the company!
00:12:35Did you not just fire her?
00:12:37I changed my mind.
00:12:39Jessica's staying.
00:12:41Actually, she's being promoted
00:12:44to sales manager.
00:12:46Can't afford to lose someone as valuable as like her.
00:12:49Great.
00:12:51Thanks, Sam.
00:12:53This is not over.
00:12:56I can't believe it.
00:12:58Jessica kept her job,
00:12:59and she gets promoted.
00:13:01Don't worry, Lisa.
00:13:02I just spoke with James Thornton,
00:13:04and he had the lawyer
00:13:05change the will in our favor.
00:13:08Jessica will get nothing.
00:13:10Oh, my God.
00:13:12That's fantastic.
00:13:14No way.
00:13:22Jessica?
00:13:24How's work?
00:13:25Did you get your job back?
00:13:27Daniel,
00:13:28I need a lawyer.
00:13:34I'm sorry.
00:13:36I'm sorry.
00:13:38I'm sorry.
00:13:40I'm sorry.
00:13:42I'm sorry.
00:13:43I'm sorry.
00:13:47Wow.
00:13:48Look who decided to show up.
00:13:50Too bad for you, Jess.
00:13:52Turns out Daddy's will
00:13:53left you nothing.
00:13:55I knew all along
00:13:56Robert wouldn't leave anything
00:13:58for this little,
00:13:59pathetic,
00:14:00bastard child.
00:14:02You are out of luck.
00:14:04Well, that's a lie.
00:14:05You showed me the will,
00:14:07and I signed the documents.
00:14:10I'm sorry, Jessica.
00:14:11I've just discovered
00:14:12a revised will
00:14:13that supports
00:14:14Kristen and Lisa's claims.
00:14:19Mr. Thornton.
00:14:20Who is this?
00:14:21He's my lawyer,
00:14:22and a damn good one.
00:14:24Oh.
00:14:25You know, Jess,
00:14:26I didn't realize
00:14:27you had enough money
00:14:28to pay for a fancy little lawyer.
00:14:30You sleep with him?
00:14:32Patrick,
00:14:33can I have a word with you outside?
00:14:35Talk all you want.
00:14:37It won't change anything.
00:14:41All right, Patrick.
00:14:42I'm gonna keep this short and sweet.
00:14:44I know you changed the will
00:14:45to favor Kristen and Lisa.
00:14:47I know what you're talking about,
00:14:48Mr. Thornton.
00:14:49The revised will's solid.
00:14:51Ted found an email exchange
00:14:52with my father.
00:14:53Here.
00:14:54Take a look.
00:14:55You've been caught, Patrick.
00:14:57Honor of the will,
00:14:58I'll report you
00:14:59to the Bar Association.
00:15:00You'll lose your license
00:15:01and any chance
00:15:02of practicing law again.
00:15:03That goes against
00:15:04your father's will.
00:15:05I'm sorry, Patrick.
00:15:06I'm sorry.
00:15:07I'm sorry.
00:15:08I'm sorry.
00:15:09I'm sorry.
00:15:10That goes against
00:15:11your father's wishes.
00:15:12You don't understand
00:15:13the position he put me in.
00:15:14I'll deal with my father.
00:15:15Don't you worry about that.
00:15:17You just worry
00:15:19about doing the right thing.
00:15:25Um,
00:15:26this revised will's a fake.
00:15:28The original will's stamped.
00:15:29What the hell are you doing?
00:15:30He's doing the right thing.
00:15:34Jessica,
00:15:35you've got your inheritance back.
00:15:37Congratulations.
00:15:39Oh,
00:15:40my
00:15:41God.
00:15:42Patrick,
00:15:43do what you are supposed to do
00:15:45or James
00:15:46will make sure
00:15:47you face the consequences.
00:15:50Don't listen to her, Patrick.
00:15:52I'll deal with James Thornton.
00:15:54Who the hell
00:15:55do you think you are?
00:15:56James Thornton
00:15:57is one of the most
00:15:58powerful men
00:15:59in this town.
00:16:00I sure can.
00:16:01Isn't that right, Patrick?
00:16:03Yes.
00:16:04The original will stands.
00:16:06No,
00:16:07you are crazy.
00:16:08I'm not.
00:16:09According to the original will,
00:16:10Jessica stands
00:16:11to inherit this mansion.
00:16:13Kristen,
00:16:14you're out.
00:16:15I think you two
00:16:16should leave.
00:16:17You homewrecker.
00:16:18Just like your mother.
00:16:21I will not
00:16:22allow violence.
00:16:24I didn't come here
00:16:25to argue
00:16:26over a house
00:16:27and assets.
00:16:29I came here
00:16:30to be recognized
00:16:31as an actual member
00:16:32of this family.
00:16:33Yeah, well, it's easy for you
00:16:34to say you're getting everything.
00:16:35You don't know
00:16:36how lucky you are, Lisa.
00:16:37You grew up
00:16:38with a father
00:16:39who loved you.
00:16:40I have none.
00:16:41And you
00:16:42took my mother
00:16:43away from me
00:16:44and I still
00:16:45don't know
00:16:46where she is.
00:16:47You two don't
00:16:48deserve this mansion.
00:16:49And I would rather
00:16:50give it away
00:16:51to a charity
00:16:52than to see
00:16:53the two of you
00:16:54living in it.
00:17:01You two
00:17:02should pack your things up.
00:17:03You have one week
00:17:04to leave this house.
00:17:07What the hell
00:17:08were you thinking?
00:17:09Sabotaging my plan?
00:17:11I was just
00:17:12doing the right thing.
00:17:13The right thing?
00:17:14Going against me?
00:17:16Kristen Miller
00:17:17has got no power anymore.
00:17:19Her game is over.
00:17:20I'm sure
00:17:21you didn't come
00:17:22all this way
00:17:23just to argue with me.
00:17:24So what do you want?
00:17:26I just want Jessica
00:17:27to get her mom back.
00:17:31I don't care
00:17:32who you are.
00:17:33I don't care
00:17:34who you are.
00:17:35I don't care
00:17:37Interesting.
00:17:41What's in it for me?
00:17:43Once Jessica
00:17:44gets her mom back
00:17:45I'll do whatever you want.
00:17:47Whatever I want?
00:17:49Like what exactly?
00:17:51I'll marry Ashley.
00:17:54You'll marry Ashley?
00:17:56Yeah.
00:17:57You're willing to do that?
00:17:59Yeah.
00:18:00I am.
00:18:02But only if she's
00:18:03reunited with her mother.
00:18:06Okay.
00:18:07Deal.
00:18:09I'll make the arrangements.
00:18:11So you're really in love
00:18:12with this one, huh?
00:18:13Yeah.
00:18:15I am.
00:18:16Okay.
00:18:18I sure hope she's good.
00:18:21She is.

00:18:40When did you two meet?
00:18:42We met at a friend's party
00:18:44two years ago.
00:18:46What do you say, Jessica?
00:18:49Oh, yeah, yeah.
00:18:51Interesting.
00:18:53And when did you decide
00:18:54to get married?
00:18:56Eight months ago.
00:18:58Six months or eight months?
00:18:59Which one is it?
00:19:00Yeah, eight months ago.
00:19:01Sorry, I just...
00:19:02Sorry, I'm always
00:19:04mixed up.
00:19:05Sure.
00:19:06Easy mistake to make.
00:19:09And what's your anniversary date?
00:19:11March 15th.
00:19:12March 15th?
00:19:15All right.
00:19:21That's it?
00:19:22Yes, Mr. Thornton.
00:19:23I have everything I need.
00:19:25I'll report back to the judges.
00:19:29Oh, wait.
00:19:31This.
00:19:34How did we do in there?
00:19:38It was pretty bad.
00:19:41Look.
00:19:44I'm the son of James Thornton.
00:19:45I know who you are.
00:19:49Okay.
00:19:52You want to bribe me?
00:19:54Yes.
00:19:55I can't be bribed.
00:19:57Here's one million dollars.
00:20:00Two million dollars.
00:20:02Right.
00:20:06Three million dollars.
00:20:09It's tempting,
00:20:10but like I said,
00:20:11you can't bribe me.
00:20:12Please.
00:20:13Can you just give us
00:20:14one more week to prepare?
00:20:16I really want to be with this woman.
00:20:18She means the world to me.
00:20:20She saved my life.
00:20:22I'm not going to take your money,
00:20:23but I'll give you one week.
00:20:25Make it count.
00:20:27Next time, I want to see
00:20:28some genuine affection
00:20:29between you two.
00:20:30If anything seems a bit off,
00:20:31your game's up.
00:20:33Of course.
00:20:34And one more thing.
00:20:36I can tell you two
00:20:37haven't had sex yet.
00:20:39I'm that good, Mr. Daniel.
00:20:42Don't try and fool me.
00:20:48She gave us another chance.
00:20:49Oh, thank God.
00:20:50We have one week.
00:20:52I'm not going to take your money,
00:20:53but I'll give you one week.
00:20:55You have one week
00:20:56to get our story straight.
00:20:58Thank you, Daniel.
00:21:00You've been very,
00:21:02very helpful today.
00:21:20Now,
00:21:21I wanted to make
00:21:22our first Christmas special,
00:21:23so
00:21:24I did a little digging
00:21:25and I found this.
00:21:27This tree is amazing.
00:21:34What happened?
00:21:37Let me have a look.
00:21:54Um,
00:21:56I have a
00:21:59festive gift
00:22:01for you two.
00:22:09Wow.
00:22:11Jess,
00:22:12you look
00:22:14gorgeous.
00:22:18I'm so happy
00:22:19you're here.
00:22:20Jess,
00:22:21you look
00:22:22gorgeous.
00:22:28And then
00:22:29I told him that's not
00:22:30how you negotiate.
00:22:31You did it!
00:22:32You did it.
00:22:50This could be wrong.
00:23:16Maybe.
00:23:18Maybe not.
00:23:20And that is how you make a smile.
00:23:40You're an only fan.
00:23:51I'm stuck.
00:23:57Hold on, I've got this.
00:24:20Hold on.
00:24:48My watch looks familiar.
00:25:00No, I've seen this before in the magazine.
00:25:04It looks like one of those, um,
00:25:08Fontaine family watches.
00:25:12Is it real?
00:25:14Uh, no.
00:25:16It's fake.
00:25:21You wear a fake watch?
00:25:23Yeah.
00:25:34I'm so happy, Jess.
00:25:39There's also something I need to tell you about your mom.
00:25:58Oh my god.
00:26:00Did I just sleep with Daniel last night?
00:26:03I told him it would only be a contract marriage.
00:26:14Morning.
00:26:15This is the most beautiful morning that I've ever had.
00:26:18Daniel, I'm...
00:26:20I'm so sorry about last night.
00:26:23It was...
00:26:24It wasn't supposed to happen and I promise it will never happen again.
00:26:30She didn't mean it.
00:26:32Oh, Jessica, last night was amazing.
00:26:35Uh...
00:26:38Yeah, Jess, uh, I get it.
00:26:41It was, uh...
00:26:44It was a one-time thing.
00:26:46Yeah, just like, just a one-time thing.
00:26:49Yeah.
00:26:51Anyway, it's, uh, your big day today.
00:26:55You're the new CEO of the Miller Empire.
00:26:59Thank you for the reminder.
00:27:04Now that you mention it, I'm really scared.
00:27:07Oh, no, Jess, I didn't mean it like that.
00:27:12What I was meant to say is...
00:27:15I'm gonna help.
00:27:22I don't know what to do, Mother.
00:27:23That bitch is kicking us out.
00:27:25We still have a chance.
00:27:26That bastard child needs a unanimous vote from the board to be chosen as the next CEO.
00:27:32So we just need a board member to back us up.
00:27:35I will call Richard.
00:27:36Everyone respects Richard's vote.
00:27:38And I will make sure he doesn't vote for her.
00:27:41And I'll dig up all the dirt I can find on her.
00:27:44You go, girl.
00:27:55These clothes are beautiful, but, uh, very expensive.
00:28:03Like this one.
00:28:04That is $9,000.
00:28:08Jess, don't worry about it.
00:28:11It's on me.
00:28:12Look at it as, uh, my first gift to my wife.
00:28:15No, Daniel, I can't let you pay for this.
00:28:18Look, Jess, you're gonna be a CEO, which means you've got to look the part.
00:28:23Trust me.
00:28:24It's an investment.
00:28:27Mr. Thornton, welcome back.
00:28:29How can I assist you today?
00:28:31You come here a lot?
00:28:32Uh, no.
00:28:33Well, of course.
00:28:34Mr. Thornton owns this store.
00:28:36Uh, Jess, why don't you try this one on?
00:28:40You'll look great in it.
00:28:45Wow, Jess, you look amazing.
00:28:49You think so?
00:28:50Yeah.
00:28:52This is exactly what a CEO would wear.
00:28:54Absolutely.
00:28:55Great choice.
00:28:57We'll take this one.
00:28:59Something on your mind?
00:29:02Well, it's probably nothing, but it's just that clerk seemed very fond of you.
00:29:07Oh, uh, being friendly is a part of my job.
00:29:12Okay.
00:29:19So that's how you got your lawyer, huh?
00:29:23Now that you mention it, maybe she was a little friendly.
00:29:27But we got a discount.
00:29:30Show off.
00:29:39What a slut.
00:29:44Trust me, Jess, you can do this.
00:29:46Yeah, but what if they don't accept me?
00:29:48They will.
00:29:49Trust me.
00:29:50Just speak from the heart and show your true self.
00:29:54Look at you two little lovebirds.
00:29:58Pathetic.
00:30:02Ted, we can talk about this later.
00:30:04Okay.
00:30:07You go in.
00:30:08I'll meet you in there soon, okay?
00:30:16Good luck in there, sis.
00:30:19You're gonna need it.
00:30:21You don't have the votes.
00:30:25I know my background doesn't seem very typical of a CEO, but I built myself from the bottom up here.
00:30:32Miller Corporation is a leader in tech and services, reaching industries from healthcare to energy.
00:30:42We have over 10,000 employees worldwide who have worked hard to build this company from the ground up.
00:30:50And I was one of them.
00:30:51I know them.
00:30:53And I believe that I can help lead this company to become everyone's company.
00:30:59Let's proceed to the vote.
00:31:01All in favor?
00:31:06Robert lost his damn mind.
00:31:08He picked his secret child to be the CEO only because of his guilty conscience.
00:31:13Richard, if I may.
00:31:15I'm not done talking.
00:31:16You can't lead us.
00:31:18And you're not getting my vote.
00:31:22Richard, if I may speak.
00:31:23Go ahead.
00:31:25But I won't change my mind.
00:31:30Sorry for interrupting everyone, but I have something important to share with you all today.
00:31:34Who the hell are you?
00:31:36Well, Richard, I'm the person who's going to expose you.
00:31:39What did you just say?
00:31:41How do I say this?
00:31:44You're a sex pervert.
00:31:46What?
00:31:49You see, everyone, this file contains multiple sexual harassment lawsuits against Richard over the past 30 years.
00:32:00Some of them also have ongoing lawsuits.
00:32:03They're all just allegations, and they've all been settled.
00:32:06I'm innocent.
00:32:07We've also got in contact with some of the victims, and they're willing to come forward and testify.
00:32:11Actually, I have not finished yet.
00:32:14You're also stealing money from the company.
00:32:16And we have the financial records to prove it.
00:32:24The evidence is clear.
00:32:26He's guilty.
00:32:29Well, then, let's all vote for Richard Donnell's immediate suspension.
00:32:34All in favor?
00:32:39We have 15 votes.
00:32:42The board has decided.
00:32:43Richard Donnell is officially removed from his position.
00:32:47Security, escort him out immediately.
00:32:50I know my way.
00:32:56And all in favor of appointing Jessica Miller as the new CEO.
00:33:17I'm sorry, Miss Lane.
00:33:18I had to make sure I had enough evidence to mail.
00:33:20No, don't be sorry, Daniel.
00:33:21That was so worth the wait.
00:33:23Good.
00:33:26This is not over.
00:33:27You'll see.
00:33:28How's packing going, Lisa?
00:33:30You're about to be evicted soon.
00:33:32Bye-bye.
00:33:38She won again, that bitch.
00:33:40I know.
00:33:41It's so unfair.
00:33:42Do we have a guest?
00:33:43Lisa, honey, I've been trying to reach you.
00:33:47Why haven't you returned my calls?
00:33:49I've been busy.
00:33:50Busy.
00:33:51Dealing with Jessica.
00:33:53How did you know?
00:33:54Oh, I know.
00:33:55And I think I know how to help you take it down.
00:33:58Again.
00:33:59No use to me anymore, Adrian.
00:34:01I only needed you to help me get rid of Jessica.
00:34:05To the new CEO of the Miller Empire.
00:34:10Well, I couldn't have done it without you, Danny.
00:34:13I also have another Christmas surprise for you.
00:34:17Who are you calling?
00:34:21Is it?
00:34:22Yes, Jess.
00:34:23It's your mother, Clara.
00:34:25Oh, my God, Mom.
00:34:27Oh, Jessica, you're a grown woman now.
00:34:30The Miller family threatened to kill you, Jess.
00:34:33I had no option but to vanish.
00:34:37Oh, Mom, it's okay.
00:34:39It's okay.
00:34:40Like, you didn't do anything wrong.
00:34:41I'll bring you back into the country, I promise.
00:34:45Daniel, how did you find her?
00:34:47I have a few powerful friends.
00:34:49They did me a favor.
00:34:51But I'll leave you two alone.
00:35:03Two more, please.
00:35:06Daniel.
00:35:09Adrian.
00:35:10Long time no see, buddy.
00:35:12Oh, my God, how long has it been?
00:35:15Ten years.
00:35:16Ten years?
00:35:17Oh, my God.
00:35:19The last time I must have seen you was, uh, law school.
00:35:23Yep.
00:35:24Go Reds.
00:35:26Go Reds.
00:35:28What are you doing here?
00:35:30Just in town to run some errands.
00:35:32Just thought I'd come here for a quick bite.
00:35:34Nice, man, nice.
00:35:36I saw your date earlier.
00:35:38She looks pretty.
00:35:39Yeah, my wife.
00:35:41Yeah, Jess.
00:35:42You're married.
00:35:43Yes.
00:35:44Yeah, you have to introduce me to her.
00:35:46Come on, let's go say hi.
00:35:47Come and say hello.
00:35:48It's good to see you, bud.
00:35:49Good to see you, too, man.
00:35:51Jess, I wanted you to meet an old friend of mine.
00:35:54Adrian, this is Jess.
00:35:55Jess, this is Adrian.
00:35:57We went to law school together.
00:36:03I don't want to see him.
00:36:07I don't want to see him.
00:36:11You two know each other?
00:36:13Yes, Daniel.
00:36:15I was her first boyfriend.
00:36:20Come on, Jess.
00:36:21Don't you miss me?
00:36:23I don't want to see you anymore.
00:36:25You know you still love me, Jess.
00:36:28No, I don't.
00:36:32I think you should leave, Adrian.
00:36:35Okay, Daniel.
00:36:36Relax.
00:36:37Now.
00:36:43I'm leaving.
00:36:48She knows you're lying.
00:36:54Boss, Adrian Westley now wraps up his visa at Christian Mesa.
00:36:57They want him to test over.
00:36:59I should have known.
00:37:01What else?
00:37:02Adrian also used me, Jessica.
00:37:04Actually, he's the one who sabotaged Jessica's immigration paperwork.
00:37:09It caused all this trouble.
00:37:14That son of a bitch.
00:37:16We need to win this war.
00:37:18Do whatever it takes.
00:37:27Daniel?
00:37:29Sorry.
00:37:30Did I wake you?
00:37:32No, can...
00:37:34Can you join me in bed, please?
00:37:40You sure?
00:37:45I just...
00:37:46I wanted to apologize for earlier.
00:37:50The restaurant.
00:37:53I got a bit carried away.
00:37:55Jess, you don't need to apologize.
00:37:58Adrian's an asshole.
00:38:00He's just trying to do it to get under your skin.
00:38:02I did care for Adrian once.
00:38:06But he just destroyed everything we had.
00:38:09I want you to know that I'm here because of you.
00:38:16And you're the only one who I love.
00:38:21No one else.
00:38:31I love you too, Jess.
00:38:34And I'm not going anywhere.
00:38:50Good morning, husband.
00:38:52Morning, wife.
00:38:54Are you ready for your big day as the new CEO?
00:38:57If only you were with me.
00:38:59You're with me.
00:39:20You're going to do great today.
00:39:29Jess, here's your coffee.
00:39:35What's wrong?
00:39:36Oh, it's just, it's this job.
00:39:38It's all so new to me.
00:39:40Okay, calm down.
00:39:42Remember, you're the CEO, which means you're the boss.
00:39:47Yeah, but I don't know how to be a boss.
00:39:50Hey, Jess.
00:39:52Look at you sitting in the big chair now.
00:39:56I am so happy you're here.
00:40:01You must be Daniel.
00:40:04Jessica's been talking about you for days.
00:40:07I'm flattered.
00:40:09I really wish you could be here with me, G.
00:40:11It's exhausting.
00:40:12At least you have a job, Jess.
00:40:14I've been looking for work for the past two months.
00:40:18Jess?
00:40:20Do you like Jana being here?
00:40:25Of course.
00:40:26We've been besties since forever.
00:40:29Yeah, what kind of question is that?
00:40:31Well, why don't you use your CEO power and hire Jana?
00:40:38Oh, I don't, I know what you mean.
00:40:40I don't understand.
00:40:42How would you like to come work for me?
00:40:48Of course.
00:40:51Okay, then.
00:40:52My first order as a CEO.
00:40:56Jana, you are hired as my personal assistant.
00:41:01Oh, my God, Jess.
00:41:02Thank you so much.
00:41:04See?
00:41:05Being a boss is easy.
00:41:07You can do whatever you want.
00:41:16Oh, my God.
00:41:18What's wrong?
00:41:19The company's stock prices are dropping like crazy.
00:41:22What is happening?
00:41:24This isn't good.
00:41:26The stock's getting down.
00:41:28Well, well, well.
00:41:31Looks like things aren't going so well.
00:41:33What did you do, Lisa?
00:41:35I asked Richard and some of the other investors to sell their stocks.
00:41:40The board members are not going to be happy about the stock prices, Jessica.
00:41:44What do you want?
00:41:45Resign as CEO or I will destroy this company.
00:41:50No way.
00:41:52Okay.
00:41:54Then I will destroy this company.
00:41:56Jessica, the board members are asking to meet with you.
00:41:59They're angry.
00:42:05What are you going to do, Jess?
00:42:07Okay, I'll meet with the board.
00:42:09Wait, Jess.
00:42:12Don't go.
00:42:13Take a seat.
00:42:14What is it?
00:42:15Lisa, are you sure the stock prices are going down?
00:42:20Because to me, they seem to be going up and up.
00:42:24That's impossible.
00:42:25You would need at least a billion dollars.
00:42:28I guess anything's possible these days.
00:42:31God damn it!
00:42:33God, she's annoying.
00:42:39You must be my lucky star.
00:42:45Daniel.
00:42:49Gianna?
00:42:52I know who you are, Daniel.
00:42:54You're the son of James Thornton.
00:42:56How did you find out?
00:42:58My identity is meant to be a secret.
00:43:00I used to work for your father.
00:43:01Please don't tell Jess.
00:43:03I'll pay you.
00:43:04How much do you want?
00:43:05I don't want your money.
00:43:06I care for my friend.
00:43:08Actually, your father fired me because I tried to help Jessica.
00:43:13I'm sorry, Gianna.
00:43:15It's okay.
00:43:17I just want to know why.
00:43:19She hates my family.
00:43:21I have to lie to her.
00:43:23She hates your family, but she loves you.
00:43:27I can see that.
00:43:29You really think so?
00:43:31Yes.
00:43:32I love her, too.
00:43:34She's the best thing that's ever happened to me.
00:43:39That's good to hear.
00:43:41Please protect her.
00:43:50Daniel.
00:43:52It's my mom.
00:43:54Adrian threatened her.
00:44:00Adrian threatened my mom on the phone.
00:44:02He said he was going to block her from entering the country.
00:44:06What should we do?
00:44:08Jess, I don't want you to worry about it.
00:44:11I'm going to make sure your mom gets here safely.
00:44:28Ted.
00:44:30I need you to make sure Jessica's mom gets here safely.
00:44:33Book her on the first flight out tomorrow.
00:44:35Got it, boss.
00:44:36I'll be here in town the day after tomorrow.
00:44:38Good.
00:44:46Jess has been taken care of.
00:44:48Your mom's going to be here the day after tomorrow.
00:44:51Thank you, Daniel.
00:44:54But I'm...
00:44:56I'm still scared.
00:44:58I just... I need a day off.
00:45:00I love the sound of that.
00:45:02What did you have in mind?
00:45:04I was thinking...
00:45:08I want to buy a house.
00:45:18So?
00:45:21Do you like this place?
00:45:23It's amazing.
00:45:25But, Jess, I appreciate the gesture.
00:45:28But you don't need to buy me a house.
00:45:31No, no.
00:45:33I insist.
00:45:35You have done so much to help me.
00:45:38Besides, we can live together here.
00:45:41Miss Thornton.
00:45:42Hi.
00:45:43Your father is here.
00:45:44Are you meeting him here?
00:45:50Well, I've never met your parents.
00:45:54So I'm pretty excited to meet an in-law.
00:45:59Oh, is...
00:46:01Is that him?
00:46:02Come on, let's go say hi.
00:46:04Jess, wait.
00:46:05Uh, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
00:46:08Um...
00:46:10I might not have told my dad about you and our marriage.
00:46:14Why?
00:46:15Uh...
00:46:17Because he has a heart condition.
00:46:20I think it's best you stay here.
00:46:22Okay.
00:46:24I'll just stay here, then.
00:46:29Good.
00:46:34Dad?
00:46:35Come on.
00:46:36Daniel.
00:46:37What the hell?
00:46:38Jessica's here.
00:46:39She can't see her face.
00:46:40Don't take them off.
00:46:43I want to talk to you about Ashley, Daniel.
00:46:49Why hasn't Daniel told his father about me and our wedding?
00:46:53Ashley, really?
00:46:55Not today.
00:46:58And what is this shirt you're wearing?
00:47:01Your mother insisted I wear it in this charity event,
00:47:04in the white ride.
00:47:06Said it makes me look more grounded.
00:47:10I told you, Mom.
00:47:13And don't go changing our subject.
00:47:15I want to discuss our agreement.
00:47:17I give you Clara, and you marry Ashley.
00:47:22Why does he look so nervous?
00:47:25Am I not good enough?
00:47:30Do we have to talk about this right now?
00:47:33I held up my end of the bargain, Daniel.
00:47:35I want this deal done now.
00:47:38Actually, Clara isn't safe yet.
00:47:40Lisa Miller might try to sabotage everything.
00:47:43This is why you don't mess with the Miller family.
00:47:46You shouldn't have left it alone.
00:47:48All I'm asking is just a few more days.
00:47:50Ashley is coming to town in a few days.
00:47:53What?
00:47:55Jess.
00:47:57Jess.
00:48:06Dad, this is Jess.
00:48:08Jess, this is Dad.
00:48:10You can call him Jimmy.
00:48:12Jimmy?
00:48:19I'm Jimmy, sweetie.
00:48:21It's lovely to meet you, Jimmy.
00:48:23And can I just say, that is a lovely Hawaiian shirt.
00:48:27It really, really suits you.
00:48:29Well, thank you, Jessica.
00:48:31It's one I'm fond of.
00:48:34So, who is Ashley?
00:48:37I heard you guys talking about her earlier.
00:48:40Oh, she's just an old family friend.
00:48:45They grew up and went to law school together.
00:48:47Oh.
00:48:49And she had Daniel's first kiss.
00:48:51Oh.
00:48:53Her wedding is approaching soon, and I'd like Daniel to attend.
00:48:58Dad!
00:49:00I'm reminiscing about the good old days.
00:49:02No, it's fine.
00:49:03Honestly, it's lovely to hear about Daniel's childhood and more about his life.
00:49:07You bastard child!
00:49:09Shh.
00:49:14Well, well.
00:49:16What do we have here?
00:49:18You think you can afford this place?
00:49:21You're about to lose this battle and be out on the streets soon.
00:49:26Who's this clown?
00:49:30Looks like he belongs in a circus.
00:49:32How dare you, Kristen!
00:49:34How do you know my name?
00:49:36And don't you dare call me by my first name.
00:49:38That's enough!
00:49:41Don't talk to my father like that.
00:49:47He's your father.
00:49:49How does it feel to be a father of such a loser?
00:49:53Don't talk to my family like that.
00:49:56Your family?
00:49:57Your family suck, Jessica.
00:50:00Especially your mother.
00:50:02The home-wrecking tramp.
00:50:05A whore.
00:50:14Your family suck, Jessica.
00:50:17Especially your mother.
00:50:19The home-wrecking tramp.
00:50:22A whore.
00:50:24Damn!
00:50:29How dare you slap me!
00:50:33That is enough, Kristen.
00:50:36You're not going to lay a hand on my wife.
00:50:41Ladies, you need to leave now.
00:50:44You can't throw us out. We're buyers.
00:50:46We're not going anywhere.
00:50:47The owner of this property has banned you from coming here.
00:50:50You need to leave now or I will call security.
00:50:55You will regret this.
00:50:58I've heard that a thousand times.
00:51:01Now leave.
00:51:12Thank you, Jessica.
00:51:14You stood up for me.
00:51:16Well, we're family, Jimmy.
00:51:18It's what I'm supposed to do.
00:51:23Well, I appreciate it.
00:51:26You're a nice girl.
00:51:28You found a good wife, Sam.
00:51:32Dad, about Ashley's wedding.
00:51:35I don't think I'm going to be able to make it.
00:51:37I'll look into it. I'll speak to her about it.
00:51:40Oh, no, no, no, no.
00:51:42Daniel can still attend. It's not a problem.
00:51:45Jess, I just want to focus on you and I.
00:51:48I'm not the jealous type.
00:51:50Plus, I don't want you to miss your first crush's wedding.
00:51:54Well, you decide, Daniel.
00:51:57Oh, there's a long party.
00:51:59You two want to come?
00:52:01It's in three hours.
00:52:03Yeah.
00:52:05Dad, we'll go.
00:52:07Great.
00:52:09I'll see you there.
00:52:20Well, this place is extremely high class.
00:52:25Well, my dad has a few rich friends.
00:52:32And James Thornton is here.
00:52:35I know you don't want to see him.
00:52:38But Jess, my dad's here.
00:52:40He's going to join us later.
00:52:42Okay.
00:52:44The bidding's about to start.
00:52:50Oh, that bitch is here!
00:52:53Don't worry, we can teach him a lesson.
00:52:55Yeah, how?
00:52:56Let's see if Daniel can handle a little humiliation.
00:53:00With money.
00:53:01Here with money? What money?
00:53:03I haven't gotten my inheritance back yet.
00:53:05Yeah, I know. Your mother spoke to Richard.
00:53:07He said he's willing to donate us some cash
00:53:09if we make Jessica look ugly.
00:53:14You're the best.
00:53:16I know.
00:53:22Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to this evening's auction.
00:53:25We have for you the last dance.
00:53:28Bid starts at one million dollars.
00:53:34One million dollars!
00:53:38Two million dollars, right here.
00:53:43Three million dollars!
00:53:47Four million dollars!
00:53:50What are they doing? Where did they get that money from?
00:53:53I don't know, but they're definitely trying to humiliate me here.
00:53:56Really? But I don't even care about this bid.
00:54:00Five million dollars!
00:54:02Daniel, what are you doing?
00:54:04Don't worry, Jess, I've got this.
00:54:09Five million dollars!
00:54:11Daniel, what are you doing?
00:54:13Don't worry, Jess, I've got this.
00:54:15I got six million dollars.
00:54:18Cash.
00:54:19Boom.
00:54:21Can't compete with that.
00:54:23Watch this.
00:54:25Seven million dollars!
00:54:28Eight million dollars!
00:54:30Did that just happen?
00:54:32Ten million dollars!
00:54:36Awesome.
00:54:38Ten million. Once, twice, sold.
00:54:43There's a gentleman there.
00:54:52Where did you get that money from?
00:54:54Well, do you remember me telling you about I have a powerful friend?
00:54:59Yeah, the one who helped me find my mother.
00:55:03Jessica.
00:55:04James Thornton.
00:55:07In the flesh. Or Mrs. Thornton.
00:55:10I want to apologize to you.
00:55:12I am truly sorry for everything I did to you and your mother.
00:55:17But I'm trying my best to make amends.
00:55:20Well, I don't know what to say.
00:55:24Jess, I know it's a lot to handle. You've just got to trust me.
00:55:27Yeah, but why didn't you just tell me in the first place, Daniel?
00:55:30Jess!
00:55:32Jessica!
00:55:33Don't follow me!
00:55:36Oh, this could get interesting.
00:55:50Oh, look who's alone.
00:55:55No, just leave me alone.
00:55:57You're never going to win against James Thornton. He's my mother's best friend.
00:56:01You're going to lose everything.
00:56:03Poor babe. Still played by the big boys.
00:56:06James Thornton and his son have been playing you all along.
00:56:11Wait, what did you just say? James Thornton and his son?
00:56:15Wait, Jess, you didn't know? Daniel Thornton is his son.
00:56:20Oh, my God.
00:56:23I didn't know that. Now that I do.
00:56:27That's enough!
00:56:30Excuse me, Mr. Thornton.
00:56:32Crown Prince Zedd of the Thornton family.
00:56:43This man's been lying to you all along.
00:56:46Poor little girl's got no one to trust.
00:56:48Both of you, get out of here.
00:56:52Hey.
00:57:00Jess, I've been trying to tell you...
00:57:02Am I a joke to you?
00:57:04No. What do you mean?
00:57:06You and your father.
00:57:08You've been playing me this whole time.
00:57:11No, I've been standing by your side all the time, Jess.
00:57:14I can't trust you. You lied to me.
00:57:19You're right. You're right.
00:57:24I have been hiding things from you.
00:57:28You know what I haven't told you yet?
00:57:31Another big secret.
00:57:34Are you sure you want to hear this?
00:57:41The other big secret is...
00:57:43The first time we met isn't what you think it is.
00:57:48It was five years ago.
00:57:50Five years ago?
00:57:51Yes.
00:57:53At a party.
00:57:55I was drunk and I fell in a pool.
00:58:06Oh, thank God you're alive.
00:58:12I was drowning and you saved my life.
00:58:15But you won't remember that.
00:58:18But I will forever be grateful for what you did for me that day.
00:58:22Father?
00:58:24That was you?
00:58:25Yes.
00:58:26My father forbid me from seeing you.
00:58:29But I didn't care.
00:58:31I confronted him.
00:58:32You can't tell me what to do, Dad!
00:58:34You can't stop me from seeing her!
00:58:36I'm doing what's best for you, Daniel.
00:58:38That girl and all her family are nothing but trouble.
00:58:42And then he decided to tell me about everything he did to you and your mom.
00:58:46And I felt so guilty.
00:58:47It's okay.
00:58:51I was ashamed to approach you.
00:58:53I just didn't know how to face you without making things worse.
00:58:56And I thought the best thing to do was just leave you alone.
00:59:00Now I know.
00:59:01And then I heard about you being deported and I just couldn't let that happen.
00:59:04Well...
00:59:07I saved you.
00:59:09And...
00:59:10You saved me.
00:59:13Because we just belong together.
00:59:19Ew.
00:59:20Corny.
00:59:23But just...
00:59:26No more secrets.
00:59:28Okay?
00:59:30I promise.
00:59:32No more secrets.
00:59:36Okay.
00:59:50You're up early.
00:59:52Yeah.
00:59:53I'm gonna go pick your mom up from the airport.
00:59:55Better sooner than later.
01:00:00Gianna just texted me.
01:00:02She said that I have my first weekly exec meeting this morning.
01:00:07I should postpone it.
01:00:08No.
01:00:09You should definitely go to that.
01:00:11You need to look good in front of your board.
01:00:12Really?
01:00:13Yeah.
01:00:14I'm gonna go pick your mom up from the airport and I'll bring her straight to the office.
01:00:17Thanks.
01:00:19You're the best.
01:00:24Well, that went better than I thought.
01:00:26Don't underestimate yourself, Jess.
01:00:28You did great.
01:00:33Heya, Jess.
01:00:35What are you doing here?
01:00:40What are you doing here?
01:00:42I just wanted to share with you some interesting facts about your dear husband, Daniel Thornton.
01:00:48Gianna, can you wait outside a moment?
01:00:54Okay, I'm telling you now.
01:00:56Whatever bad made-up facts that you've come to tell me about Daniel, it's not gonna work.
01:01:02Because Daniel already told me everything.
01:01:05Everything?
01:01:06Are you so sure?
01:01:08Yeah.
01:01:09Him and his father came clean about everything.
01:01:11There is nothing more to hide.
01:01:13And did they also tell you Daniel was supposed to marry his childhood sweetheart?
01:01:16What?
01:01:17Ashley Wimbledon.
01:01:19Heiress to the famous Wimbledon family.
01:01:21Ring any bells?
01:01:23Ashley.
01:01:27Ashley.
01:01:29Who is Ashley?
01:01:31I heard you guys talking about her earlier.
01:01:33Oh, she's just an old childhood friend.
01:01:37They grew up and went to law school together.
01:01:40Oh.
01:01:41And she had Daniel's first kiss.
01:01:47He did mention Ashley.
01:01:52He did.
01:01:53Yeah, but he's not gonna marry her.
01:01:55I remember that conversation.
01:02:00Daniel's picking my mother up from the airport himself.
01:02:03I'll be seeing her soon.
01:02:06What are you laughing about?
01:02:12Daniel wants to bring her back with him.
01:02:15But he's not gonna see her.
01:02:18After years of separation with your mother,
01:02:22Daniel didn't let you go along with him to meet with her?
01:02:25And what kind of a husband does that?
01:02:27I had an early meeting this morning and Daniel didn't want me to worry.
01:02:31So easily manipulated, Jess.
01:02:35Just like old times.
01:02:37Yeah, well, I don't believe a word you say.
01:02:41Daniel isn't gonna bring her back.
01:02:44Daniel isn't gonna bring her back.
01:02:46Care to find out together?
01:02:56Are you sure everything is taken care of?
01:02:58Yes.
01:02:59You're free to live in this country.
01:03:01Clara, I also want to apologize for everything you went through years ago.
01:03:05I'm deeply sorry.
01:03:07Well, you did bring me back here.
01:03:09Right now I just want to see my daughter.
01:03:11We'll go, sir.
01:03:13Not so fast, Danny boy.
01:03:18You're too late, Lisa.
01:03:20Clara's here to claim Robert's inheritance back.
01:03:22Oh, I don't think so.
01:03:24Agents, do your thing.
01:03:25Wait.
01:03:26What?
01:03:27This is a mistake.
01:03:28No.
01:03:29Clara's got past customs.
01:03:30She can stay.
01:03:31Sweetheart, you really think those little documents can stop this?
01:03:35I don't think so.
01:03:36Back off, Lisa.
01:03:37I'm watching, pretty boy.
01:03:38Jess.
01:03:39Jess!
01:03:40Mom!
01:03:41Mom!
01:03:42Where are they taking my mother?
01:03:43Mom, I will bring her back.
01:03:45I promise.
01:03:46Just stay strong.
01:03:47Sis, it looks like you've been screwed by the Thorntons again.
01:03:50Adrian, you sabotaged this.
01:03:52You'll pay for this.
01:03:54See, babe?
01:03:55I told you he's not bringing her back.
01:03:57You said everything was taken care of.
01:03:59Jess, it's not me.
01:04:01It's them.
01:04:02You're lying, Daniel.
01:04:03Why don't you ask him about that thing we talked about?
01:04:05Jess.
01:04:08Jess.
01:04:09He said that you were going to marry Ashley.
01:04:11Okay, so it's true.
01:04:13Jess, can we just talk about this?
01:04:16No.
01:04:17No, no, no, no.
01:04:18Thing is, Daniel, you promised me no more secrets.
01:04:21I can't trust you anymore.
01:04:23Jess!
01:04:24It's just...
01:04:25Looks like you lost, Daniel.
01:04:27You're never getting her back.
01:04:41Oh, thank God you're alive.
01:05:11You're welcome.
01:05:18Ted, what's the problem with Clara?
01:05:20Her paperwork was flawless.
01:05:22You're right, boss.
01:05:23I checked with customers in the USCIS,
01:05:25and they all confirm that she legally entered the country.
01:05:28That's good.
01:05:29I'm in, boss.
01:05:33Agents, do your thing.
01:05:35Wait.
01:05:36What?
01:05:37This is a mistake.
01:05:38No.
01:05:39Jess.
01:05:40Jess!
01:05:41Baby!
01:05:42Mom!
01:05:45The ICE agents weren't real.
01:05:47They were hired by Adrian and Lisa to kidnap Clara.
01:05:50Hold on a sec.
01:05:54You're right, boss.
01:05:55We found out those people want her.
01:05:57What should we do?
01:05:59I need to find out where they took them.
01:06:01Use all our contacts.
01:06:02I'm not going to let them get away with this.
01:06:04On it, boss.
01:06:11Well, well, well, Clara.
01:06:15Bet you didn't expect to see me again, did you?
01:06:18We finally have what it takes to get it all back?
01:06:21Don't look at me like that.
01:06:23You disgust me.
01:06:30Jess, we need to talk.
01:06:32I don't want to talk to you.
01:06:33It's about your mom.
01:06:34I think she was kidnapped by Adrian and Lisa's people.
01:06:36The ICE agents weren't real.
01:06:39What are you talking about?
01:06:41I spoke to Ted.
01:06:42He told me that Clara legally came into the country.
01:06:45It was a setup.
01:06:47Do you actually expect me to believe that?
01:06:50After all the lies?
01:06:51You're so full of shit, Daniel!
01:07:00Hello, bastard child.
01:07:02Yes, we have your mother.
01:07:04And if you ever want to see her again,
01:07:06follow the directions to the address that we just sent you.
01:07:09And don't bring anyone.
01:07:10Especially Daniel.
01:07:15Let me come with you.
01:07:16No, they want me alone.
01:07:17I don't want to risk anything.
01:07:18Jess.
01:07:19Don't follow me.
01:07:20I will not let you do this alone.
01:07:28Mom?
01:07:29Bastard child, over here.
01:07:31You let her go.
01:07:33This has gone on far enough.
01:07:35Not so fast, sis.
01:07:37This is only the beginning.
01:07:43You sign this.
01:07:45We let her go.
01:07:47And what is it?
01:07:49An agreement signing everything over to us.
01:07:52The house.
01:07:53The company.
01:07:55Everything.
01:07:58Mom?
01:08:04It's signed.
01:08:06Now let her go.
01:08:08God, you are so naive, sis.
01:08:11What more do you want?
01:08:14Get down on your knees and show that you know your place.
01:08:21Get down on your knees and show that you know your place.
01:08:25Wait.
01:08:30That's better.
01:08:38Now bark like a dog.
01:08:44Come on.
01:08:49That's enough, Kristen.
01:08:55We're getting out of here, Mom.
01:09:02Let's get her out of here.
01:09:04Come on, let's go.
01:09:06Daniel!
01:09:10I can't.
01:09:12We need to finish this.
01:09:13Mom, we gotta go.
01:09:14Come on.
01:09:16Daniel!
01:09:22Jess.
01:09:24Don't try and talk to the police.
01:09:26They're on their way.
01:09:28Jess, I'm so sorry.
01:09:30Why are you apologizing?
01:09:32Just don't move.
01:09:43The doctor said it was nothing serious, so you'll be out of here soon.
01:09:48Jess, I just want to apologize.
01:09:50I'm so sorry.
01:09:52Daniel, what are you apologizing for?
01:09:56You saved my mom. You saved us.
01:10:00Hello again, Mr. Thornton.
01:10:02Officer, you're here.
01:10:04Yes. You promised me last week we'd get that interview done.
01:10:10Officer, my husband is injured.
01:10:13He's literally lying in bed.
01:10:15Well, that doesn't change the requirements.
01:10:18Jess, it's okay.
01:10:21We can do the interview.
01:10:26We can do the interview.
01:10:29Are you insane?
01:10:31We haven't rehearsed this.
01:10:33Jess, when you see we've been rehearsing this whole Christmas,
01:10:38there's no better time to do this.
01:10:40You're right.
01:10:44We're ready, officer.
01:10:46Let's start with the question I asked you last week.
01:10:49When did you two first meet?
01:10:51Five years and four months ago.
01:10:53I don't understand.
01:10:55Last time you said it was six months ago when the other one said it was eight months ago.
01:11:00We lied, officer.
01:11:02But it was five years ago.
01:11:04At a pool party.
01:11:06And we had our first kiss when we first met.
01:11:11It sounds pretty far-fetched.
01:11:13But for some reason, I want to give you two the benefit of the doubt.
01:11:19Daniel risked his life to save me and my mother.
01:11:22There's nothing more that he needs to do to prove his love for me.
01:11:26One last question.
01:11:28How frequently have you two spent the night together in the past week?
01:11:38Relax.
01:11:40It's okay.
01:11:42It's okay.
01:11:44It's okay.
01:11:47Relax.
01:11:49I can tell it's been at least three times.
01:11:51Right. Well, that's my interview done.
01:11:54You two are quite the couple.
01:11:56Thank you, officer.
01:11:58Daniel.
01:12:00Daniel, she's coming.
01:12:02Who's coming?
01:12:09Your fiancé.
01:12:11That's who.
01:12:16Your fiancé.
01:12:18That's who.
01:12:19Ashley.
01:12:21I guess I'm not done yet.
01:12:23You betrayed my family's trust, Daniel.
01:12:26Ashley, please.
01:12:29Can't we talk about this?
01:12:31So you're Jessica Miller, huh?
01:12:33Adrian's told me all about you.
01:12:36I don't know what Adrian told you, but it's not what you think.
01:12:41Daniel was supposed to marry me.
01:12:44And you just waltzed in and ruined everything.
01:12:47Ashley, our engagement was long over before Jessica came to the picture.
01:12:55Oh, I see.
01:12:57You think this is over.
01:13:00I'm the heiress of the Wimbledon family.
01:13:04The Thornton name is as good as ruined.
01:13:09You can't do that, Ashley.
01:13:14Watch me.
01:13:19You're not the only heiress here.
01:13:25I own Miller Empire.
01:13:28And if you come for the Thorntons, the Miller Empire is going to come for you so hard.
01:13:40You've got guts, Jessica.
01:13:43I like you.
01:13:47I gotta tell you, I didn't expect that.
01:13:50This is so much better than watching TV.
01:13:52Glad to see you've replaced me with someone with a little fire, Daniel.
01:14:01I always knew Daniel didn't love me, but he was too afraid of his father to ever go after his true love.
01:14:09But I guess I'm happy that he's found someone who wants the same things as him.
01:14:17So, that's it?
01:14:22That's it.
01:14:26Enjoy your happy ending, darling.
01:14:32Andrea, bring the car around.
01:14:36Did that actually just happen?
01:14:39Yeah.
01:14:40Wow.
01:14:41You two really don't let anyone or anything get in the way of true love.
01:14:47You'll see that.
01:14:51This is all your fault, Mom.
01:14:53If you wouldn't have been so reckless, then maybe we wouldn't be in this mess.
01:14:55Don't put all the blame on me.
01:14:57You're just as much a part of this as I am.
01:14:59Where is Ashley?
01:15:00She should be here by now.
01:15:02Miss me?
01:15:04Where have you been?
01:15:05Just tying up a few loose ends.
01:15:07Don't worry about it.
01:15:09Everything's going according to plan.
01:15:11Plan?
01:15:12What plan?
01:15:13Everything's falling apart.
01:15:25What did you do, Adrian?
01:15:27Well, me myself, I done nothing illegal.
01:15:30You two, on the other hand, that's a different story.
01:15:34You set us up!
01:15:36I'm just ensuring my own safety.
01:15:38After all, I kept my hands clean.
01:15:46Ow!
01:15:47You're not gonna get away with this, asshole!
01:15:50I already have.
01:15:53Hmm.
01:15:57I remember when this place was filled with warmth and laughter.
01:16:01Used to be a real family home back then.
01:16:04Then things just went south.
01:16:07Things will be fine again, Mom, I promise.
01:16:10We'll turn this into a good family house.
01:16:12No more hatred.
01:16:14No more backstabbing.
01:16:16I missed you every single day, Jess.
01:16:18I'm so sorry for everything both of us had to go through.
01:16:25Jessica.
01:16:27Clara.
01:16:29I am so sorry for everything that I've done to you both.
01:16:33I was wrong.
01:16:35And I know I can never fully make up for it, but I want to try.
01:16:40James, you kept us apart for so many years.
01:16:43It's gonna be hard to forgive and forget.
01:16:45I know, Clara.
01:16:49Jess, are you all right?
01:16:53Yeah, I know, I'm... I'm fine.
01:16:56You know, I just feel...
01:16:59Nauseous, that's all.
01:17:02Have you been getting any other symptoms, like dizziness or fatigue?
01:17:07Well, yeah, but I just thought that was from all the stress.
01:17:11Oh.
01:17:13Sweetheart.
01:17:15You're pregnant.
01:17:17Really?
01:17:19You're showing all the signs, Jess.
01:17:23We're gonna have a baby.
01:17:25Wait.
01:17:27That means I'm gonna be a grandpa.
01:17:30Yeah.
01:17:39Daniel.
01:17:42There's something you need to do.
01:17:45What's this?
01:17:47This is a ring your grandma left.
01:17:50And I think this is the perfect time to use it.
01:17:54Go grab it.
01:17:56I gotta do this?
01:17:57Yeah, go.
01:17:59Oh.
01:18:07Jess?
01:18:09Jess!
01:18:11Uh...
01:18:13I know we've only ever spent time together a week during Christmas.
01:18:16And we've been through so much in that time.
01:18:19And over the past five years, all I've wanted to do is be with you.
01:18:23And I've had to endure the pain of that not being possible.
01:18:27I want to spend every waking moment in time with you.
01:18:30What I'm trying to say is, Jess...
01:18:36Will you marry me?
01:18:40For real this time.
01:18:42Yes, Daniel. Yes, I will marry you.
01:18:44Yes.
01:18:46Really?
01:18:48Yes.
