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

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