00:00:00♪
00:00:04Cheers. May it be full of surprises.
00:00:06Ho, ho, ho. I have a gift for you.
00:00:10Jessica, you have inherited this mansion,
00:00:13along with your father's business, empire,
00:00:15and assets worth over a billion dollars.
00:00:18I just need a signature from you.
00:00:20Oh, and $105 million in cash.
00:00:23Oh.
00:00:24Oh!
00:00:27We're rich!
00:00:28Let me hold on to you a bit for you, baby.
00:00:31Yeah.
00:00:32You know, my whole life,
00:00:34I grew up in foster care,
00:00:37moving from place to place,
00:00:38and now I finally have a place that I can call home.
00:00:43It's real great to win the jackpot.
00:00:45Now my only wish is to just reunite with my mother.
00:00:49You bastard child.
00:00:51You will never reunite with your mother.
00:00:53We made sure that that whore is gone forever.
00:00:57My mother is gone because of you?
00:00:59Well, we had a little help from James Thornton,
00:01:02the most powerful man in the Thornton family.
00:01:06Time for you to go back to your poor little country, sis.
00:01:10Yes, ma'am. USCIS.
00:01:12Your visa expired years ago. You're being deported.
00:01:14What? No, there must be some mistake.
00:01:17Adrian, didn't you help me file my immigration paperwork?
00:01:20Whoops. Well, I guess I screwed up.
00:01:23What?
00:01:26Hey, baby. Hey.
00:01:28Adrian, are you cheating on me with her?
00:01:31Choose the right side, babe. You'll never win against them.
00:01:34It's true.
00:01:36According to the terms of the will,
00:01:38non-citizens are not eligible to inherit the estate.
00:01:42Everything will pass through your next of kin,
00:01:44Lisa Ann Kristen Miller.
00:01:47You thought you could get rich overnight?
00:01:50Keep dreaming.
00:01:52Seriously?
00:01:53Bon voyage, half-sis.
00:02:02The boss is urgent.
00:02:03They're about to deport a woman named Jessica Miller.
00:02:07Jessica Miller?
00:02:09It's her.
00:02:18Oh, thank God you're alive.
00:02:20She's so beautiful and kind.
00:02:21She's the girl I've always dreamed of.
00:02:24She saved my life once. I owe her.
00:02:30Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
00:02:32Jessica?
00:02:34Do I know you?
00:02:35She doesn't remember me.
00:02:42I'm Daniel. You're a lawyer.
00:02:44Just pretend we know each other.
00:02:45If I can get you out of here.
00:02:47We've spoken to the judge,
00:02:48and Ms. Miller should be released immediately.
00:02:51We can't deport her.
00:02:53She is about to marry a U.S. citizen.
00:02:57Who's the lucky guy?
00:02:59I am. I'm marrying her.
00:03:07A fake marriage won't save her.
00:03:08Our marriage is real.
00:03:10Yeah, 100% real.
00:03:12Prove it, then.
00:03:15That's it? You call that a kiss?
00:03:27Need more proof, officer?
00:03:29Look, this guy is a lawyer
00:03:31to some of the most important families in town.
00:03:34And if you don't let her go,
00:03:36they'll make sure you lose your job.
00:03:38I don't want to lose my job.
00:03:40I don't want to lose my job.
00:03:42If you don't let her go,
00:03:43they'll make sure you lose your damn job.
00:03:45Fine, you can have her.
00:03:47Thank you, officer.
00:03:52Guys, I think we're good.
00:03:55It's not over.
00:03:59We'll be checking your marital status
00:04:01and conducting interviews.
00:04:03And there are a few very specific requirements
00:04:05you should know.
00:04:06Make sure you two are staying in the same house
00:04:08and sleeping in the same bed.
00:04:10Or it's game over.
00:04:14Well...
00:04:17Thank you...
00:04:19for the rescue.
00:04:21Oh, it's no problem.
00:04:23But, um...
00:04:25Daniel...
00:04:27Would you...
00:04:29Would you marry me?
00:04:31Oh, Jessica.
00:04:32I've waited for this moment for five years.
00:04:34I mean, it would only be a contract marriage.
00:04:37But once I get my green card,
00:04:39I'll inherit my father's business empire
00:04:42and I'll share half of it with you.
00:04:45Even your misunderstanding looks so cute.
00:04:47I only want you, Jessica.
00:04:49But before I get my green card,
00:04:52you're gonna have to help me deal
00:04:54with my stepsister and her mom.
00:04:56They're trying to get rid of me.
00:04:58And they've already stolen my fortune.
00:05:01And they made my mother disappear.
00:05:05Deal.
00:05:07What?
00:05:09That's it?
00:05:12This lily stands for loyalties and new beginnings.
00:05:16Something that I want with you.
00:05:18Now, I know it's rushed.
00:05:21But I promise you,
00:05:23I will buy you a proper ring soon.
00:05:26I love you.
00:05:34From now on,
00:05:36let's make every Christmas our own.
00:05:38Filled with memories.
00:05:52You can't do this!
00:05:54Jess, it's okay.
00:05:55Just wait here. I'll handle it.
00:06:02What?
00:06:03Why are you helping that girl?
00:06:05Kristen Miller is our ally
00:06:07and she wants her the hell out of this picture.
00:06:09It's too late, Dad.
00:06:11We already got married.
00:06:12Are you insane?
00:06:14Did you forget you're supposed to marry Ashley?
00:06:19Daniel Thornton.
00:06:22My mother is gone because of you?
00:06:24Well, we had a little help from James Thornton.
00:06:27The most powerful man in the Thornton family.
00:06:31Wait.
00:06:32I recognize that face.
00:06:34From the newspaper, that was James Thornton.
00:06:37From the Thornton family.
00:06:38The family responsible for my mother's disappearance.
00:06:45Stop telling me what I can and cannot do.
00:06:47She saved my life.
00:06:48I owe it to her.
00:06:49Roll the hell up, Daniel.
00:06:51Daniel, you need to remember your position
00:06:53as the heir to our family.
00:06:55And you need to divorce that girl.
00:06:57Now.
00:06:58I'm doing this to clean your mess up.
00:07:01Just leave us alone.
00:07:10Sorry about that.
00:07:11Is your name
00:07:13Daniel Thornton?
00:07:16Yeah.
00:07:17The Thornton family are responsible
00:07:20for the disappearance of my mother.
00:07:22I have been searching for her
00:07:24my entire life.
00:07:26Jess.
00:07:27Yeah.
00:07:28I can explain.
00:07:29I'm not married to Thornton.
00:07:30Wait, wait, wait.
00:07:31Jess, Jess.
00:07:32I'm not who you think I am.
00:07:34I have nothing to do with that family.
00:07:35Oh, really?
00:07:36Because your name is right here
00:07:37on the marriage certificate.
00:07:40I share the last name as Thornton.
00:07:42But I am not one of them.
00:07:44Thornton is a common name.
00:07:45Just an ordinary guy.
00:07:46Really?
00:07:47Well, I don't believe you.
00:07:48I saw you talking
00:07:49to James Thornton.
00:07:51Is he your father?
00:07:55Is he your father?
00:07:56No, he's not my father.
00:07:57He was threatening
00:07:58to drive you out of the country
00:07:59and I was not gonna have
00:08:00anything to do with it.
00:08:01Jess.
00:08:02I'm on your side.
00:08:04You're not
00:08:05one of them.
00:08:07I'm sorry.
00:08:10It's okay.
00:08:11Don't worry about it.
00:08:16Well, you have
00:08:17a nice apartment.
00:08:19Welcome.
00:08:22Is that your Labrador?
00:08:23It looks exactly like mine.
00:08:25I got mine as a Christmas present
00:08:26when I was nine.
00:08:27No way.
00:08:28I got mine as a Christmas present
00:08:29when I was nine.
00:08:30That's crazy.
00:08:36Jess, we're gonna have to sleep
00:08:37in the same room together
00:08:38just in case immigration
00:08:39ambush us.
00:08:40Yeah, but
00:08:41are you sure you're okay
00:08:42sleeping on the carpet?
00:08:43I mean,
00:08:44you've done so much
00:08:45for me already and I just...
00:08:46Jess, please.
00:08:47I insist.
00:08:48We made a deal, remember?
00:08:50I also want to thank you
00:08:53for giving me the chance
00:08:54to get rich.
00:08:56It's okay, Daniel.
00:09:15Jess.
00:09:18She's buying on us.
00:09:21No.
00:09:22No, no, no, no.
00:09:23I was...
00:09:24I was just passing by
00:09:26and just...
00:09:27Do you need anything?
00:09:29I was joking.
00:09:30Uh, yeah.
00:09:31Could you, uh,
00:09:32pass me the towel?
00:09:34It's just...
00:09:35It's just...
00:09:36It's just...
00:09:37It's just...
00:09:38It's just...
00:09:39It's just...
00:09:40It's just...
00:09:41It's just...
00:09:42It's just...
00:09:43It's just...
00:09:44It's just...
00:09:45It's just hanging out near the door.
00:09:47Yeah, sure.
00:09:52Thanks.
00:10:02Oh my God!
00:10:03What?
00:10:04I just got fired!
00:10:05What?
00:10:08Wait, Jess,
00:10:09let me go with you.
00:10:11What?
00:10:13Yeah.
00:10:25Sam, please, don't fire me.
00:10:27I'm sorry, Jess, but your immigration issue put us in a tough spot.
00:10:33I worked for this company for years.
00:10:36I'm sorry, Jess. There's nothing I can do.
00:10:40I'm sorry.
00:10:46Look who's here.
00:10:48Someone who just got fired.
00:10:51This suits you.
00:10:56It was you.
00:10:58I should have known you were behind this.
00:11:00I'm not going to let you stay here and ruin things.
00:11:02I'm going to take away everything you have, sister.
00:11:09You just made a big mistake, sir.
00:11:11Who are you?
00:11:13My name is Daniel Thornton, son of James Thornton, the chairman of Thornton Enterprise.
00:11:19Oh, Mr. Thornton. Welcome.
00:11:24What brings you here?
00:11:27Well, I have some good news for you.
00:11:30Jessica Miller, she's just closed a billion dollar deal.
00:11:35Take a look.
00:11:40Oh, my God.
00:11:45It's real.
00:11:47Absolutely.
00:11:49With her hard work and dedication, she's made this possible.
00:11:53It's a real shame you're going to lose such a valuable employee.
00:11:57Oh, Mr. Thornton, I have made a huge mistake.
00:12:02Jessica will stay.
00:12:05Good.
00:12:07And make sure nobody knows we had this conversation.
00:12:15Jessica, you should have told me.
00:12:22What are you talking about, Sam?
00:12:24Jessica, you should have told me.
00:12:28What are you talking about, Sam?
00:12:31Jessica, you secured a huge deal for the company.
00:12:36Did you not just fire her?
00:12:38I changed my mind. Jessica's staying.
00:12:42Actually, she's being promoted to sales manager.
00:12:47Can't afford to lose someone as valuable as like her.
00:12:50Great. Thanks, Sam.
00:12:54This is not over.
00:12:58I can't believe it. Jessica kept her job and she gets promoted.
00:13:04Don't worry, Lisa.
00:13:06I just spoke with James Thornton and he had the lawyer change the will in our favor.
00:13:11Jessica will get nothing.
00:13:13Oh, my God. That's fantastic.
00:13:27No way.
00:13:34Jessica, how's work? Did you get your job back?
00:13:39Daniel, I need a lawyer.
00:13:47Well, look who decided to show up.
00:13:51Too bad for you, Jess. Turns out Daddy's will left you nothing.
00:13:55I knew all along Robert wouldn't leave anything for this little pathetic bastard child.
00:14:02You are out of luck.
00:14:04Well, that's a lie. You showed me the will. And I signed the documents.
00:14:10I'm sorry, Jessica. I've just discovered a revised will that supports Kristen and Lisa's claims.
00:14:19Mr. Thornton.
00:14:21Who is this?
00:14:22He's my lawyer. And a damn good one.
00:14:25Oh. You know, Jess, I didn't realize you had enough money to pay for a fancy little lawyer.
00:14:31You sleep with him?
00:14:33Patrick, can I have a word with you outside?
00:14:37Talk all you want. It won't change anything.
00:14:47Alright, Patrick. I'm going to keep this short and sweet.
00:14:50I know you changed the will to favor Kristen and Lisa.
00:14:53I 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.
00:15:02You've been caught, Patrick.
00:15:04Honor of the will, I'll report you to the Bar Association. You'll lose your license and any chance of practicing law or gain.
00:15:11That goes against your father's wishes. You don't understand the position you put me in.
00:15:15I'll deal with my father. Don't you worry about that.
00:15:18You just worry about doing the right thing.
00:15:25Um, this revised will is a fake. The original will's stamped.
00:15:29What the hell are you doing?
00:15:31He's doing the right thing.
00:15:34Jessica, you've gotten your inheritance back. Congratulations.
00:15:39Oh. My. God.
00:15:41Patrick, do what you are supposed to do or James will make sure you face the consequences.
00:15:49Don't listen to her, Patrick. I'll deal with James Thornton.
00:15:53Who the hell do you think you are? James Thornton is one of the most powerful men in this town.
00:15:59I sure can. Isn't that right, Patrick?
00:16:02Yes. The original will stands.
00:16:05No. You are crazy.
00:16:06No. I'm not. According to the original will, Jessica stands to inherit this mansion.
00:16:11Kristen, you're out.
00:16:14I think you two should leave.
00:16:16You homewrecker. Just like your mother.
00:16:19I will not allow violence.
00:16:22I didn't come here to argue over a house and assets.
00:16:28I came here to be recognized as an actual member of this family.
00:16:31It was easy for you to say you're getting everything.
00:16:33You don't know how lucky you are, Lisa.
00:16:36You grew up with a father who loved you.
00:16:39I had none.
00:16:41And you took my mother away from me and I still don't know where she is.
00:16:46You two don't deserve this mansion.
00:16:49And I would rather give it away to charity than to see the two of you living in it.
00:17:02You two should pack your things up.
00:17:05You have one week to leave this house.
00:17:15What the hell were you thinking?
00:17:17Sabotaging my plan?
00:17:19I was just doing the right thing.
00:17:21The right thing? Going against me?
00:17:24Kristen Miller has got no power anymore.
00:17:27Her game is over.
00:17:28I'm sure you didn't come all this way just to argue with me.
00:17:32So what do you want?
00:17:34I just want Jessica to get her mom back.
00:17:38Interesting.
00:17:42What's in it for me?
00:17:44Once Jessica gets her mom back, I'll do whatever you want.
00:17:48Whatever I want?
00:17:50Like what exactly?
00:17:52I'll marry Ashley.
00:17:55You'll marry Ashley?
00:17:56Yeah.
00:17:58You're willing to do that?
00:18:00Yeah, I am.
00:18:02But only if she's reunited with her mother.
00:18:06Okay, deal.
00:18:09I'll make the arrangements.
00:18:12So you're really in love with this one, huh?
00:18:14Yeah, I am.
00:18:17Okay, good.
00:18:19I sure hope she's worth it.
00:18:21She is.
00:18:26What's wrong?
00:18:28We have a guest.
00:18:32Mr. Thornton.
00:18:34Good to see you again.
00:18:36Interview time.
00:18:38Great.
00:18:40When did you two meet?
00:18:42We met at a friend's party two years ago.
00:18:46What do you say, Jessica?
00:18:48Oh, yeah, yeah.
00:18:51Interesting.
00:18:53And when did you decide to get married?
00:18:56Eight months ago.
00:18:58Six months or eight months, which one is it?
00:19:01Yeah, eight months ago.
00:19:03Sorry, I'm always getting mixed up.
00:19:06Sure.
00:19:08Easy mistake to make.
00:19:10And what's your anniversary date?
00:19:12March 15th.
00:19:14March 15th?
00:19:16All right.
00:19:21That's it?
00:19:23Yes, Mr. Thornton.
00:19:24I have everything I need.
00:19:26I'll report back to the judges.
00:19:30Oh, wait.
00:19:32This.
00:19:35How did we do in there?
00:19:39It was pretty bad.
00:19:42Look.
00:19:45I'm the son of James Thornton.
00:19:47I know who you are.
00:19:49Okay.
00:19:50Okay.
00:19:53You want to bribe me?
00:19:55Yes.
00:19:57I can't be bribed.
00:19:59Here's one million dollars.
00:20:04Two million dollars.
00:20:06Right.
00:20:10Three million dollars.
00:20:13It's tempting, but like I said, you can't bribe me.
00:20:17Please, can you just give us one more week to prepare?
00:20:20I really want to be with this woman.
00:20:22She means the world to me.
00:20:24She saved my life.
00:20:26I'm not going to take your money, but I'll give you one week.
00:20:29Make it count.
00:20:33Next time, I want to see some genuine affection between you two.
00:20:35If anything seems a bit off, your game's up.
00:20:37Of course.
00:20:39And one more thing.
00:20:41I can tell you two haven't had sex yet.
00:20:44I'm that good, Mr. Daniel.
00:20:47Don't try and fool me.
00:20:51She gave us another chance.
00:20:53Oh, my God.
00:20:55We have one week to get our story straight.
00:20:58Thank you, Daniel.
00:21:00You've been very, very helpful today.
00:21:20Now, I wanted to make our first Christmas special.
00:21:24So, I did a little digging and I found this.
00:21:28This tree is amazing.
00:21:35What happened?
00:21:38Let me have a look.
00:21:51Um, I have a festive gift for you two.
00:22:14Wow.
00:22:16Jess, you look gorgeous.
00:22:23And then, I told him that's not how you negotiate.
00:22:27You did it.
00:22:29You did it.
00:22:30I told him that's not how you negotiate.
00:22:32You did it.
00:22:34You did it.
00:23:01What?
00:23:15This could be wrong.
00:23:17Maybe.
00:23:19Maybe not.
00:23:31And that is how you negotiate.
00:23:36You're not like that.
00:23:50I'm stuck.
00:23:52Hold on, I've got this.
00:23:54I've got this.
00:23:56I've got this.
00:23:57Hold on, I've got this.
00:24:27I've got this.
00:24:29I've got this.
00:24:31I've got this.
00:24:33I've got this.
00:24:35I've got this.
00:24:37I've got this.
00:24:39I've got this.
00:24:41I've got this.
00:24:43I've got this.
00:24:45I've got this.
00:24:47I've got this.
00:24:49I've got this.
00:24:51I've got this.
00:24:53I've got this.
00:24:55I've got this.
00:24:57This watch looks familiar.
00:25:01No, I've seen this before.
00:25:03In a magazine.
00:25:05That looks like one of those
00:25:09Thornton family
00:25:11watches.
00:25:13Is it real?
00:25:15No.
00:25:16It's fake.
00:25:21You wear a fake watch?
00:25:23Yeah.
00:25:27It's fake.
00:25:34I'm so happy, Jess.
00:25:40There's also something I need to tell you about your mom.
00:25:48Yes.
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.
00:26:16This is the most beautiful morning that I've ever had.
00:26:19Daniel, I'm
00:26:21I'm so sorry about last night.
00:26:24It was
00:26:25It wasn't supposed to happen and I promise
00:26:27it will never happen again.
00:26:31She didn't mean it.
00:26:33Oh, Jessica.
00:26:34Last night was amazing.
00:26:39Yeah, Jess.
00:26:41I get it.
00:26:44It was a one-time thing.
00:26:47Yeah, just like
00:26:48just a one-time thing.
00:26:49Yeah.
00:26:52Anyway,
00:26:53it's, uh
00:26:54your big day today.
00:26:56You're the new CEO of the
00:26:57Miller Empire.
00:27:00Thank you
00:27:01for the reminder.
00:27:05Now that you mention it
00:27:06I'm really scared.
00:27:08Oh, no, Jess.
00:27:09I
00:27:10didn't mean it like that.
00:27:12What I was meant to say is
00:27:16I'm gonna help you.
00:27:18I don't know what to do, Mother.
00:27:19That bitch is kicking us out.
00:27:21We still have a chance.
00:27:22That bastard child
00:27:23needs a unanimous vote from the board
00:27:25to be chosen as the next CEO.
00:27:28So we just need a board member to back this up.
00:27:31I will call Richard.
00:27:32Everyone respects Richard's vote
00:27:34and I will make sure
00:27:35he doesn't vote for her.
00:27:37And I'll dig up all the dirt I can find on her.
00:27:40You go, girl.
00:27:42You go, girl.
00:27:43And I'll dig up all the dirt I can find on her.
00:27:45You go, girl.
00:27:56These clothes are
00:27:58beautiful
00:28:00but, uh
00:28:02very expensive.
00:28:04Like this one.
00:28:05That is
00:28:07$9,000.
00:28:09Jess, don't worry about it.
00:28:11It's on me.
00:28:12Look at it as, uh
00:28:14my first gift to my wife.
00:28:16No, Daniel, I can't let you pay for this.
00:28:19Look, Jess.
00:28:20You're gonna be a CEO
00:28:21which means you've gotta look the part.
00:28:23Trust me.
00:28:25It's an investment.
00:28:27Mr. Thornton.
00:28:28Welcome 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
00:28:37Jess, why don't you try this one on?
00:28:40You'll look great in it.
00:28:43Wow.
00:28:44Jess, you look
00:28:46amazing.
00:28:48You think so?
00:28:49Yeah.
00:28:51This is exactly what a CEO would wear.
00:28:53Absolutely.
00:28:54Great choice.
00:28:56We'll take this one.
00:28:58Something on your mind?
00:29:01Well, it's probably nothing but it's just
00:29:04that clerk seemed very
00:29:05fond of you.
00:29:06Oh, uh
00:29:08being friendly is a part of my job.
00:29:10Okay.
00:29:17So that's how you got your lawyer, huh?
00:29:21Now that you mention it
00:29:23maybe she was a little friendly
00:29:25but we got a discount.
00:29:28Show off.
00:29:37What a story.
00:29:39What a slut.
00:29:44Trust me, Jess.
00:29:45You can do this.
00:29:47Yeah, but what if they don't accept me?
00:29:49They will.
00:29:50Trust me.
00:29:51Just speak from the heart
00:29:52and show your true self.
00:29:55Look at you two little lovebirds.
00:29:59Pathetic.
00:30:03Ted, we can talk about this later.
00:30:05Okay.
00:30:08You go in.
00:30:09I'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.
00:30:26I know my background doesn't seem
00:30:27very typical of a CEO
00:30:30but I built myself from the bottom up here.
00:30:33Miller Corporation is a leader
00:30:36in tech
00:30:38and services
00:30:39reaching industries
00:30:40from healthcare
00:30:41to energy.
00:30:42We have over 10,000 employees
00:30:45worldwide
00:30:47who have worked hard
00:30:48to build this company
00:30:49from the ground up
00:30:50and I was one of them.
00:30:52I know them.
00:30:54And I believe that
00:30:55I can help lead this company
00:30:56to become
00:30:57everyone's company.
00:30:59Let's proceed to the vote.
00:31:01All in favor?
00:31:02All in favor?
00:31:07Robert lost his damn mind.
00:31:09He picked his secret child
00:31:10to be the CEO
00:31:12only because of his guilty conscience.
00:31:14Richard, if I may...
00:31:16I'm not done talking.
00:31:18You can't lead us
00:31:20and you're not getting my vote.
00:31:23Richard, if I may speak...
00:31:24Go ahead.
00:31:26But I won't change my mind.
00:31:28Sorry for interrupting everyone
00:31:30but I have something important
00:31:31to share with you all today.
00:31:33Who the hell are you?
00:31:34Well, Richard,
00:31:35I'm the person
00:31:36who's going to expose you.
00:31:38What did you just say?
00:31:40How do I say this?
00:31:42Uh...
00:31:43You're a sex pervert.
00:31:45What?
00:31:48You see,
00:31:49everyone,
00:31:50this file
00:31:52contains multiple
00:31:53sexual harassment lawsuits
00:31:55against Richard
00:31:56over the past 30 years.
00:31:59Some of them
00:32:00also have ongoing lawsuits.
00:32:02They're all just allegations
00:32:04and they've all been settled.
00:32:05I'm innocent.
00:32:06We've also got in contact
00:32:07with some of the victims
00:32:08and they're willing to come forward
00:32:09and testify.
00:32:10Actually,
00:32:11I have not finished yet.
00:32:13You're also stealing money
00:32:14from the company
00:32:15and we have the financial records
00:32:17to prove it.
00:32:23The evidence is solid.
00:32:24The evidence is clear.
00:32:26He's guilty.
00:32:29Okay then,
00:32:30let's all vote for
00:32:31Richard Donnell's
00:32:32immediate suspension.
00:32:34All in favor?
00:32:39We have 15 votes.
00:32:42The board has decided
00:32:43Richard Donnell is
00:32:44officially removed
00:32:45from his position.
00:32:47Security,
00:32:48escort him out immediately.
00:32:50I know my way.
00:32:55And
00:32:56all in favor of
00:32:57appointing
00:32:58Jessica Miller
00:32:59as the new CEO.
00:33:16I'm sorry I was late.
00:33:17I had to make sure
00:33:18I had enough evidence
00:33:19to nail him.
00:33:20No, don't be sorry, Daniel.
00:33:21That was so worth the wait.
00:33:22Good.
00:33:25This is not over.
00:33:27You'll see.
00:33:28How's packing going, Lisa?
00:33:29You're about to be evicted soon.
00:33:37She won again,
00:33:38that bitch.
00:33:39I know.
00:33:40It's so unfair.
00:33:41Do we have a guest?
00:33:42Lisa,
00:33:43honey,
00:33:44I've been trying to reach ya.
00:33:46Why haven't you
00:33:47returned my calls?
00:33:48I've been busy.
00:33:49Busy.
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
00:33:56how to help you take it down
00:33:58again.
00:33:59No use to me anymore, Adrian.
00:34:01I only needed you
00:34:02to help me get rid of Jessica.
00:34:05To the new
00:34:06CEO of the Miller Empire.
00:34:10Well, I couldn't have done it
00:34:11without you, Daniel.
00:34:12I also
00:34:13have another Christmas
00:34:14surprise for you.
00:34:17Who are you calling?
00:34:21Is it?
00:34:22Yes, Jess.
00:34:24It's your mother, Clara.
00:34:25Oh, my God.
00:34:26Mom!
00:34:28Oh, Jessica,
00:34:29you're a grown woman now.
00:34:31The Miller family
00:34:32threatened to kill you, Jess.
00:34:34I had no option
00:34:35but to vanish.
00:34:38Mom, it's okay.
00:34:39It's okay.
00:34:40You didn't do anything wrong.
00:34:41I'll bring you back
00:34:42into the country,
00:34:43I promise.
00:34:45Daniel,
00:34:46how did you find her?
00:34:47I have a few
00:34:48powerful friends.
00:34:49They did me a favor.
00:34:51But,
00:34:52I'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!
00:35:13How long has it been?
00:35:15Ten years.
00:35:16Ten years!
00:35:17Oh, my God!
00:35:18The last time
00:35:19I must have seen you
00:35:20was at law school.
00:35:22Yep.
00:35:23Go Reds.
00:35:25Go Reds.
00:35:27What are you doing here?
00:35:29Just in town
00:35:30to run some errands.
00:35:31Just thought I'd come here
00:35:32for a quick bite.
00:35:33Nice, man, nice.
00:35:35I saw your date earlier.
00:35:37She looks pretty.
00:35:38Yeah, my wife.
00:35:40Your wife?
00:35:41Yeah, Jess.
00:35:42You're married?
00:35:43Yes.
00:35:44Yeah, you have to
00:35:45introduce me to her.
00:35:46Come on, let's go say hi.
00:35:48Come and say hello.
00:35:49It's good to see you, buddy.
00:35:50Good to see you too, man.
00:35:52Jess,
00:35:53I wanted you to meet
00:35:54an old friend of mine.
00:35:55Adrian, this is Jess.
00:35:56Jess, this is Adrian.
00:35:57We went to law school together.
00:36:04I don't want to see him.
00:36:09I don't want to see him.
00:36:13You two know each other?
00:36:14Yes, Daniel.
00:36:16I was her first boyfriend.
00:36:19Come on, Jess.
00:36:21Don't you miss me?
00:36:23I don't want to see you
00:36:24anymore.
00:36:25You know you're still
00:36:26in love with me, Jess.
00:36:28No, I don't.
00:36:32I think you should
00:36:33leave, Adrian.
00:36:35Okay, Daniel.
00:36:36Relax.
00:36:37Now.
00:36:43I'm leaving.
00:36:44I'm leaving.
00:36:48Does she know she's lying?
00:36:54Boss,
00:36:55Adrian Wesley now represents
00:36:56the Eastside Christian Method.
00:36:58They wanted to test the will.
00:37:00I should have known.
00:37:01What else?
00:37:02Adrian also knew
00:37:03his name, Jessica.
00:37:05Actually,
00:37:06he's the one who sabotaged
00:37:07Jessica's immigration paperwork
00:37:09and 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...
00:37:47I wanted to apologize
00:37:48for earlier.
00:37:50The restaurant.
00:37:54I got a bit carried away.
00:37:56Jess, you don't need to apologize.
00:37:59Adrian's an asshole.
00:38:00He's just trying to do it
00:38:01to get under your skin.
00:38:03I did care for Adrian once,
00:38:06but he just destroyed
00:38:07everything we had.
00:38:10I want you to know
00:38:12that I'm...
00:38:13I'm here because of you.
00:38:16And you're...
00:38:18the only one
00:38:20who I love.
00:38:21No one else.
00:38:34I love you too, Jess.
00:38:36And I'm not going anywhere.
00:38:44Good morning, husband.
00:38:46Good morning, wife.
00:38:49Are you ready for your big day
00:38:50as the new CEO?
00:38:51If only you were with me.
00:39:14You're going to do great today.
00:39:23Jess,
00:39:25here's your coffee.
00:39:30What's wrong?
00:39:31Oh, it's just...
00:39:32It's this job.
00:39:33It's all so new to me.
00:39:35Okay, calm down.
00:39:37Remember,
00:39:38you're going to do great today.
00:39:41Okay, calm down.
00:39:42Remember,
00:39:44you're the CEO,
00:39:45which means
00:39:46you're the boss.
00:39:47Yeah, but I don't know
00:39:48how to be a boss.
00:39:51Hey, Jess.
00:39:53Look at you
00:39:54sitting in the big chair now.
00:39:56Oh, Giovanna,
00:39:57I am so happy you're here.
00:40:02You must be Daniel.
00:40:04Jessica's been talking
00:40:05about you for days.
00:40:08I'm flattered.
00:40:09I really wish you could
00:40:10be here with me, G.
00:40:11It's exhausting.
00:40:12At least you have a job, Jess.
00:40:15I've been looking for work
00:40:16for the past two months.
00:40:18Jess,
00:40:21do you like Gianna being here?
00:40:25Of course.
00:40:27We've been besties since...
00:40:29forever.
00:40:30Yeah, what kind of question is that?
00:40:32Well,
00:40:33why don't you use your CEO power
00:40:36and hire Gianna?
00:40:38Oh, I don't...
00:40:39I know what you mean.
00:40:40I don't understand.
00:40:42How would you
00:40:45like to come work
00:40:47for me?
00:40:48Of course.
00:40:51Okay, then.
00:40:52My first order
00:40:54as a CEO,
00:40:56Gianna,
00:40:57you are hired
00:40:58as 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.
00:41:06You can do whatever you want.
00:41:15Oh my God.
00:41:17What's wrong?
00:41:18The company's stock prices
00:41:20are dropping like crazy.
00:41:22What is happening?
00:41:24This isn't normal.
00:41:26Stocks are getting down.
00:41:27Well, well, well.
00:41:30Looks like things aren't going so well.
00:41:32What did you do, Lisa?
00:41:34I asked Richard
00:41:35and some of the other investors
00:41:38to sell their stocks.
00:41:40The board members are not going to be happy
00:41:41about the stock prices, Jessica.
00:41:44What do you want?
00:41:45Resign
00:41:47as CEO
00:41:48or I will destroy this company.
00:41:50No way.
00:41:52Okay.
00:41:54Then I will destroy this company.
00:41:56Jessica,
00:41:57the 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.
00:42:08I'll meet with the board.
00:42:10Wait, Jess.
00:42:12Don't go.
00:42:13Take a seat.
00:42:15What is it?
00:42:16Lisa,
00:42:18are you sure the stock prices are going down?
00:42:21Because to me,
00:42:22they seem to be going up
00:42:23and up.
00:42:24That's impossible.
00:42:25You would need at least a billion dollars.
00:42:29I guess anything's possible these days.
00:42:32God damn it!
00:42:34God, she's annoying.
00:42:39You must be my lucky star.
00:42:48Daniel.
00:42:51Gianna.
00:42:52I know who you are, Daniel.
00:42:54You're the son of James Thornton.
00:42:57How 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.
00:43:07I care for my friend.
00:43:09Actually, your father fired me
00:43:11because 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
00:43:25she 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
00:43:35the best thing that's ever happened to me.
00:43:38That's good to hear.
00:43:40Please protect her.
00:43:49Daniel.
00:43:51It's my mom.
00:43:53Adrian threatened her.
00:43:59Adrian threatened my mom on the phone.
00:44:01He said he was going to block her
00:44:03from entering the country.
00:44:05What should we do?
00:44:07Jess.
00:44:09I don't want you to worry about it.
00:44:11I'm going to make sure your mom gets here safely.
00:44:28Ted.
00:44:29I need you to make sure Jessica's mom gets here safely.
00:44:32Book her on the first flight out tomorrow.
00:44:34Got it, boss.
00:44:36She'll be here in town the day after tomorrow.
00:44:38Good.
00:44:45Jess has been taken care of.
00:44:47Your mom's going to be here the day after tomorrow.
00:44:50Thank you, Daniel.
00:44:53But I'm
00:44:55I'm still scared.
00:44:57I 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.
00:45:19So.
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've done so much
00:45:37to help me.
00:45:39Besides, we can live together here.
00:45:41Mr. Thornton.
00:45:43Hi.
00:45:45Your father is here.
00:45:47Are you meeting him here?
00:45:50Well.
00:45:52I've never met your parents.
00:45:54So.
00:45:55I'm pretty excited to meet an in-law.
00:45:59Oh.
00:46:01Is that him?
00:46:03Come on, let's go say hi.
00:46:05Jess, wait.
00:46:06Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
00:46:11I might not have told my dad about you and our marriage.
00:46:14Why?
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
00:46:26stay here, then.
00:46:29Good.
00:46:34Dad.
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
00:46:51and our wedding?
00:46:52Ashley.
00:46:53Really?
00:46:54Not today.
00:46:57And what is this shirt you're wearing?
00:47:00Mother insisted I wear it
00:47:02in this chariot event in New England.
00:47:04Right.
00:47:05Said it makes me look more grounded.
00:47:09I told you before.
00:47:12And don't go changing our subject.
00:47:14I want to discuss our agreement.
00:47:16I give you Clara
00:47:18and you marry Ashley.
00:47:22Why does he look so
00:47:24nervous?
00:47:25Am I not good enough?
00:47:30Do we have to talk about this right now?
00:47:32I held up my end of the bargain, Daniel.
00:47:35I want this deal done now.
00:47:37Actually, Clara isn't safe yet.
00:47:40Lisa Miller might try to be sabotaging everything.
00:47:43This is why you don't mess with the Miller family.
00:47:46You should have left it alone.
00:47:48All I'm asking is
00:47:49you should have left it alone.
00:47:50All I'm asking is just a few more days.
00:47:52Ashley is coming to town in a few days.
00:47:55What?
00:47:57Jess.
00:47:59Jess.
00:48:08Dad, this is Jess.
00:48:10Jess, this is Dad.
00:48:13You can call him Jimmy.
00:48:14Jimmy?
00:48:15Hmm?
00:48:16Right.
00:48:18I'm Jimmy, sweetie.
00:48:20It's lovely to meet you, Jimmy.
00:48:22And can I just say
00:48:23that is a lovely Hawaiian shirt.
00:48:26It really, really suits you.
00:48:28Well, thank you, Jessica.
00:48:30It's one I'm fond of.
00:48:34So, who is Ashley?
00:48:36I heard you guys talking about her earlier.
00:48:39Oh, she's just an old family friend.
00:48:44They grew up and went to law school together.
00:48:47Oh.
00:48:48And she had Daniel's first kiss.
00:48:51Oh.
00:48:53Her wedding is approaching soon
00:48:55and I'd like Daniel to attend.
00:48:57Dad!
00:48:59I'm reminiscing about the good old days.
00:49:01No, it's fine.
00:49:02Honestly, it's lovely to hear about Daniel's childhood
00:49:05and more about his life.
00:49:06You bastard child!
00:49:13Well, well.
00:49:15What do we have here?
00:49:17You think you can afford this place?
00:49:20You're about to lose this battle
00:49:22and be out on the streets soon.
00:49:25Who's this clown?
00:49:29Looks like he belongs in a circus.
00:49:31How dare you, Kristen!
00:49:33How do you know my name?
00:49:35And don't you dare call me by my first name.
00:49:38That's enough!
00:49:40Don't talk to my father like that.
00:49:46He's your father?
00:49:49How does it feel to be a father of such a loser?
00:49:52Don't talk to my family like that.
00:49:55Your family?
00:49:57Your family suck, Jessica.
00:50:00Especially your mother.
00:50:02The home-wrecking tramp.
00:50:05A whore.
00:50:10How dare you slap me!
00:50:12That is enough, Kristen.
00:50:15You're not going to lay a hand on my wife.
00:50:22I'm sorry, Jessica.
00:50:24I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
00:50:26I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
00:50:28I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
00:50:30I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
00:50:32I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
00:50:34I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
00:50:36I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
00:50:39Ladies, you need to leave. Now.
00:50:42You can't throw us out. We're buyers.
00:50:44We're not going anywhere.
00:50:45The owner of this property has banned you from coming here.
00:50:48You need to leave now or I will call security.
00:50:53You will regret this.
00:50:57I've heard that a thousand times.
00:50:59Now leave.
00:51:09Thank you, Jessica.
00:51:11You stood up for me.
00:51:13Well, we're family, Jimmy.
00:51:15It's what I'm supposed to do.
00:51:20Well, I appreciate it.
00:51:23You're a nice girl.
00:51:25You found a good wife, son.
00:51:29Dad, about Ashley's wedding.
00:51:32I don't think I'm going to be able to make it.
00:51:34I'll look into it.
00:51:36I'll look into it.
00:51:38I'll speak to her about it.
00:51:39Oh, no, no, no, no.
00:51:41Daniel can still attend. It's not a problem.
00:51:44Jess, I just want to focus on you and I.
00:51:47I'm not the jealous type.
00:51:49Plus, I don't want you to miss your first crush's wedding.
00:51:54Well, you decide, Daniel.
00:51:56Oh, there's a long party.
00:51:59You two want to come? It's in three hours.
00:52:02Yeah.
00:52:04Dad, we'll go.
00:52:06Great.
00:52:08I'll see you there.
00:52:19Well, this place is extremely high class.
00:52:24Well, my dad has a few rich friends.
00:52:29And James Thornton is here.
00:52:33I know you don't want to see him.
00:52:36But Jess, my dad's here.
00:52:38He's going to join us later.
00:52:40Okay.
00:52:42The bidding's about to start.
00:52:48Oh, that bitch is here!
00:52:50I know.
00:52:51Don't worry, we can teach him a lesson.
00:52:53Yeah, how?
00:52:54Let's see if Daniel can handle a little humiliation.
00:52:59With money.
00:53:00Here with money? What money?
00:53:01I haven't gotten my inheritance back yet.
00:53:03Yeah, I know.
00:53:04Your mother spoke to Richard.
00:53:06Said he's willing to donate us some cash if we make Jessica look ugly.
00:53:12You're the best.
00:53:15I know.
00:53:18Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to this evening's auction.
00:53:21We have for you the last dance.
00:53:24Bid starts at one million dollars.
00:53:30One million dollars!
00:53:34Two million dollars, right here.
00:53:39Three million dollars!
00:53:43Four million dollars!
00:53:49Four million dollars!
00:53:52What are they doing? Where did they get that money from?
00:53:54I don't know, but they're definitely trying to humiliate you here.
00:53:57Really? But I don't even care about this bit.
00:54:01Five million dollars!
00:54:03Daniel, what are you doing?
00:54:05Don't worry, Jess. I've got this.
00:54:10Five million dollars!
00:54:13Don't worry, Jess. I've got this.
00:54:15I've got six million dollars!

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