00:00:00Ho, ho, ho! I have a gift for you.
00:00:03Jessica.
00:00:10Cheers. May it be full of surprises.
00:00:13Ho, ho, ho! I have a gift for you.
00:00:16Jessica, you have inherited this mansion,
00:00:19along with your father's business, empire, and assets worth over a billion dollars.
00:00:24I just need a signature from you.
00:00:25Oh, and a hundred and five million dollars in cash.
00:00:30Ho, ho, ho!
00:00:33We're rich!
00:00:34Let me hold on to you for you, baby.
00:00:37You know, my whole life, I grew up in foster care.
00:00:42Moving from place to place, and now I finally have a place that I can call home.
00:00:49Well, it's real great to win the jackpot.
00:00:51No, my only wish is to reunite with my mother.
00:00:55You bastard child!
00:00:57You will never reunite with your mother.
00:00:59We made sure that that whore is gone forever.
00:01:02My mother is gone because of you?
00:01:05Well, we had a little help from James Thornton,
00:01:08the 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. USCIS.
00:01:17Your visa expired years ago. You're being deported.
00:01:20What? No, there must be some mistake here.
00:01:22Adrian, didn't you help me file my immigration paperwork?
00:01:26Whoops. I guess I screwed up.
00:01:29What?
00:01:32Hey, baby.
00:01:34Adrian, 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,
00:01:44non-citizens are not eligible to inherit the estate.
00:01:48Everything will pass to your next of kin, Lisa and Kristen Miller.
00:01:53You thought you could get rich overnight? Keep dreaming.
00:01:57Seriously?
00:01:58Bon voyage, have sis.
00:02:08The boss is urgent.
00:02:09They're about to deport a woman named Jessica Miller.
00:02:13Jessica Miller?
00:02:15It's her.
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.
00:02:38Jessica?
00:02:40Do I know you?
00:02:41She doesn't remember me.
00:02:47I'm Daniel. You're a lawyer.
00:02:49Just pretend we know each other. If I can get you out of here.
00:02:52We've spoken to the judge and Miss Miller should be released immediately.
00:02:56But we can't deport her.
00:02:59She is about to marry a U.S. citizen.
00:03:03Who's the lucky guy?
00:03:04I am.
00:03:06I'm marrying her.
00:03:12A fake marriage won't save her.
00:03:14Our marriage is real.
00:03:15Yeah, a hundred percent real.
00:03:18Prove it then.
00:03:22Okay.
00:03:27That's it? You call that a kiss?
00:03:41Need more proof, officer?
00:03:42Look, this guy is a lawyer to some of the most important families in town.
00:03:48And 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.
00:03:58Guys, I 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.
00:04:17Game 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,
00:04:45I'll inherit my father's business empire and...
00:04:48I'll share half of it with you.
00:04:51Even your misunderstanding looks so cute.
00:04:53I only want you, Jessica.
00:04:55But, before I get my green card,
00:04:58you're gonna have to help me deal with my stepsister and her mom.
00:05:02They're trying to get rid of me.
00:05:04And they've already stolen my fortune.
00:05:06And they made my mother disappear.
00:05:11Deal.
00:05:12What?
00:05:14What?
00:05:16That's it?
00:05:19This lily stands for loyalties and new beginnings.
00:05:23Something that I want with you.
00:05:25Now, I know it's rushed.
00:05:28But I promise you...
00:05:30I will buy you a proper ring soon.
00:05:32I love you.
00:05:41From now on, let's make every Christmas our own.
00:05:44Filled with memories.
00:05:58You 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?
00:06:11Kristen Miller is our ally.
00:06:13And she wants her the hell out of this picture.
00:06:16It's too late, Dad.
00:06:17We already got married.
00:06:18Are you insane?
00:06:20Did you forget you're supposed to marry Ashley?
00:06:25Daniel Fontaine.
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.
00:06:37Wait.
00:06:38I recognize that face.
00:06:40From the newspaper.
00:06:41That was James Thornton.
00:06:43From the Thornton family.
00:06:45The family responsible for my mother's disappearance.
00:06:52Stop telling me what I can and cannot do.
00:06:54She saved my life.
00:06:55I 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.
00:07:04I'm doing all this to clean your mess up.
00:07:07Just leave us alone.
00:07:16Sorry about that.
00:07:17Is 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 married to Thornton.
00:07:37Wait, wait, wait.
00:07:38Jess, 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?
00:07:43Because your name is right here on 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?
00:07:54Well, 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.
00:08:04He'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.
00:08:09I'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.
00:08:22Well, you have a nice apartment.
00:08:26Well.
00:08:28Is that your Labrador?
00:08:30It looks exactly like mine.
00:08:31I 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.
00:08:54I 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.
00:09:20Jess.
00:09:33Jess.
00:09:36She's buying on me.
00:09:39No.
00:09:40No.
00:09:41No, no, no.
00:09:42I 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.
00:09:59Thanks.
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.
00:10:32Sam, 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.
00:10:44There's nothing I can do.
00:10:48I'm sorry.
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.
00:11:13Uh, you just made a big mistake, sir.
00:11:18Who are you?
00:11:19My name is Daniel Thornton, son of James Thornton, the chairman of Thornton Enterprise.
00:11:26Oh, uh, Mr. Thornton, uh, 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, uh, Mr. Thornton, um, I have made a huge mistake.
00:12:16Uh, Jessica will stay.
00:12:19Good.
00:12:21And, uh, make sure nobody knows we had this conversation.
00:12:30Jessica!
00:12:31You should have told me!
00:12:36What are you talking about, Sam?
00:12:38Jessica!
00:12:39You secured a huge deal for the company!
00:12:43Did you not just fire her?
00:12:45I changed my mind.
00:12:48Jessica'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.
00:12:57Great.
00:12:59Thanks, Sam.
00:13:01This is not over.
00:13:07I can't believe it.
00:13:08Jessica kept her job and she gets promoted.
00:13:11Don'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.
00:13:22That's fantastic.
00:13:25No way.
00:13:32Jessica, how's work?
00:13:35Did you get your job back?
00:13:37Daniel, I need a lawyer.
00:13:41Jessica, how's work?
00:13:44Did 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.
00:13:59Turns 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.
00:14:13You showed me the will.
00:14:15And I signed the documents.
00:14:17I'm sorry, Jessica.
00:14:19I've just discovered a revised will that supports Kristen and Lisa's claims.
00:14:27Mr. Thornton.
00:14:28Who is this?
00:14:29He's my lawyer.
00:14:30And a damn good one.
00:14:32Oh.
00:14:33You know, Jess, I didn't realize you had enough money to pay for a fancy little lawyer.
00:14:37You sleep with him?
00:14:40Patrick, can I have a word with you outside?
00:14:43Talk all you want.
00:14:45It won't change anything.
00:14:54All right, Patrick.
00:14:55I'm going to keep this short and sweet.
00:14:57I know you changed the will to favor Kristen and Lisa.
00:15:00I know what you're talking about, Mr. Thornton.
00:15:02The revised will's solid.
00:15:05Ted found an email exchange with my father.
00:15:07Here.
00:15:08Take a look.
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.
00:15:20You don't understand the position you put me in.
00:15:22I'll deal with my father.
00:15:23Don't you worry about that.
00:15:26You just worry about doing the right thing.
00:15:30Um, this revised will is a fake.
00:15:33The original will stands.
00:15:34What the hell are you doing?
00:15:36He's doing the right thing.
00:15:40Jessica, you've gotten your inheritance back.
00:15:43Congratulations.
00:15:45Oh my God.
00:15:48Patrick, do what you are supposed to do
00:15:51or James will make sure you face the consequences.
00:15:55Don't listen to her, Patrick.
00:15:57I'll deal with James Thornton.
00:15:59Who the hell do you think you are?
00:16:01James Thornton is one of the most powerful men in this town.
00:16:05I sure can.
00:16:06Isn't that right, Patrick?
00:16:08Yes.
00:16:09The original will stands.
00:16:11No, you are crazy.
00:16:13No, I'm not.
00:16:14According to the original will, Jessica stands to inherit this mansion.
00:16:18Kristen, you're out.
00:16:21I think you two should split up.
00:16:23You're out.
00:16:24I think you two should leave.
00:16:25You homewrecker.
00:16:27Just like your mother.
00:16:29I will not allow violence.
00:16:32I 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.
00:16:41Yeah, well it's easy for you to say you're getting everything.
00:16:43You don't know how lucky you are, Lisa.
00:16:46You grew up with a father who loved you.
00:16:48I had none.
00:16:49I had none.
00:16:50And 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.
00:16:58And I would rather give it away to charity than to see the two of you living in it.
00:17:10You two should pack your things up.
00:17:12You have one week to leave this house.
00:17:20What the hell were you thinking?
00:17:23Sabotaging my plan?
00:17:25I was just doing the right thing.
00:17:27The right thing?
00:17:28Going against me?
00:17:30Kristen Miller has got no power anymore.
00:17:32Her game is over.
00:17:34I'm sure you didn't come all this way just to argue with me.
00:17:37So what do you want?
00:17:39I just want Jessica to get her mom back.
00:17:44Interesting.
00:17:49What's in it for me?
00:17:51Once Jessica gets her mom back, I'll do whatever you want.
00:17:55Whatever I want?
00:17:57Like what exactly?
00:17:59I'll marry Ashley.
00:18:02You'll marry Ashley?
00:18:04Yeah.
00:18:05You're willing to do that?
00:18:07Yeah, 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?
00:18:21Yeah, I am.
00:18:24Okay, good.
00:18:26I sure hope she's worth it.
00:18:29She is.
00:18:34What's wrong?
00:18:35We have a 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.
00:18:54What do you say, Jessica?
00:18:57Oh, yeah, yeah.
00:18:59Interesting.
00:19:01And when did you decide to get married?
00:19:04Eight months ago.
00:19:06Six 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.
00:19:29That's it?
00:19:30Yes, Mr. Thornton.
00:19:32I have everything I need.
00:19:34I'll report back to the judges.
00:19:38Oh, wait.
00:19:39Miss.
00:19:42How did we do in there?
00:19:46It was pretty bad.
00:19:49Look.
00:19:52I'm the son of James Thornton.
00:19:54I know who you are.
00:19:57Okay.
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. Can you just give us one more week to prepare?
00:20:27I really want to be with this woman.
00:20:29She means the world to me. She saved my life.
00:20:32I'm not going to take your money, but I'll give you one week.
00:20:35Make it count.
00:20:38Next time, I want to see some genuine affection between you two.
00:20:41If anything seems a bit off, your game's up.
00:20:44Of course.
00:20:45And one more thing.
00:20:48I can tell you two haven't had sex yet.
00:20:51I'm that good, Mr. Daniel.
00:20:54Don't try and fool me.
00:21:00She gave us another chance.
00:21:02Oh, thank God.
00:21:03We have one week to get our story straight.
00:21:06Thank you, Daniel.
00:21:08You've been very, very helpful today.
00:21:27Now, I wanted to make our first Christmas special,
00:21:31so I did a little digging and I found this.
00:21:35This tree is amazing.
00:21:42What happened?
00:21:45Let me have a look.
00:22:05Um, I have a festive gift for you two.
00:22:27Wow.
00:22:28Jess, you look gorgeous.
00:22:36And then I told him that's not how you negotiate.
00:22:40You did it.
00:22:41I did.
00:23:05What?
00:23:23This could be wrong.
00:23:25Maybe.
00:23:27Maybe not.
00:23:36So, that is how you negotiate.
00:23:41You're an only fan.
00:23:55You're stuck.
00:23:58I'm stuck.
00:24:00I'm stuck.
00:24:03You're stuck.
00:24:05Hold on, I've got this.
00:24:32I'm stuck.
00:25:03That watch looks familiar.
00:25:08No, I've seen this before in the magazine.
00:25:12That looks like one of those Thornton family watches.
00:25:20Is it real?
00:25:21Uh, no.
00:25:24It's fake.
00:25:28You wear a fake watch?
00:25:30Yeah.
00:25:31Yeah.
00:25:41I'm so happy, Jess.
00:25:47There's also something I need to tell you about your mom.
00:25:55Yes.
00:26:01What?
00:26:07Oh, my God.
00:26:08Did I just sleep with Daniel last night?
00:26:11I told him it would only be a contract marriage.
00:26:23Morning.
00:26:24This is the most beautiful morning that I've ever had.
00:26:27Daniel, I'm so sorry about last night.
00:26:32It wasn't supposed to happen, and I promise it will never happen again.
00:26:39She didn't mean it.
00:26:41Oh, Jessica, last night was amazing.
00:26:47Yeah, Jess, I get it.
00:26:52It was a one-time thing.
00:26:54Yeah, just like, just a one-time thing.
00:26:57Yeah.
00:26:59Anyway, it's your big day today.
00:27:03You're the new CEO of the Miller Empire.
00:27:07Thank you for the reminder.
00:27:12Now that you mention it, I'm really scared.
00:27:15Oh, no, Jess, I didn't mean it like that.
00:27:19What I was meant to say is...
00:27:24I'm gonna help you.
00:27:30I don't know what to do, Mother. That bitch is kicking us out.
00:27:33We still have a chance.
00:27:35That bastard child needs a unanimous vote from the board to be chosen as the next CEO.
00:27:41So we just need a board member to back this up.
00:27:44I will call Richard. Everyone respects Richard's vote.
00:27:47And I will make sure he doesn't vote for her.
00:27:50And I'll dig up all the dirt I can find on her.
00:27:53Go, girl.
00:28:04These clothes are beautiful.
00:28:07But, uh, very expensive.
00:28:12Like this one. That is $9,000.
00:28:16Jess, don't worry about it.
00:28:19It's on me.
00:28:20Look at it as, uh, my first gift to my wife.
00:28:24No, Daniel, I can't let you pay for this.
00:28:27Look, Jess, you're gonna be a CEO, which means you've gotta look the part.
00:28:31Trust me. It's an investment.
00:28:35Mr. Thornton, welcome back. How can I assist you today?
00:28:39You come here a lot?
00:28:41Well, of course. Mr. Thornton owns this store.
00:28:44Uh, Jess, why don't you try this one on?
00:28:48You'll look great in it.
00:28:53Wow, Jess, you look amazing.
00:28:57You think so?
00:28:59Yeah.
00:29:01This is exactly what a CEO would wear.
00:29:03Absolutely. Great choice.
00:29:05We'll take this one.
00:29:08Something on your mind?
00:29:10Well, it's probably nothing, but it's just that clerk seemed very fond of you.
00:29:16Oh, uh, being friendly is a part of my job.
00:29:20Okay.
00:29:27So that's how you got your lawyer, huh?
00:29:31Now that you mention it, maybe she was a little friendly.
00:29:35But we got a discount.
00:29:38Show-off.
00:29:47What a slut.
00:29:52Trust me, Jess. You can do this.
00:29:55Yeah, but what if they don't accept me?
00:29:57They will. Trust me. Just speak from the heart.
00:30:00Show your true self.
00:30:03Look at you two little lovebirds.
00:30:07Pathetic.
00:30:11Ted, can we talk about this later?
00:30:13Okay.
00:30:16You go in. I'll meet you in there soon, okay?
00:30:24Good luck in there, sis.
00:30:27You're gonna need it.
00:30:29You don't have the votes.
00:30:34I know my background doesn't seem very typical of a CEO,
00:30:38but I built myself from the bottom up here.
00:30:41Miller Corporation is a leader in tech and services,
00:30:47reaching industries from healthcare to energy.
00:30:50We have over 10,000 employees worldwide
00:30:55who have worked hard to build this company from the ground up.
00:30:59And I was one of them. I know them.
00:31:02And I believe that I can help lead this company to become everyone's company.
00:31:07Let's proceed to the vote.
00:31:09All in favor?
00:31:14Robert lost his damn mind.
00:31:16He picked his secret child to be the CEO
00:31:19only because of his guilty conscience.
00:31:21Richard, if I may...
00:31:23I'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. But I won't change my mind.
00:31:36Sorry for interrupting everyone,
00:31:38but I have something important to share with you all today.
00:31:41Who the hell are you?
00:31:43Well, Richard, I'm the person who's going to expose you.
00:31:46What did you just say?
00:31:48How do I say this?
00:31:50Uh, you're a sex pervert.
00:31:52What?
00:31:56You see, everyone, this file
00:31:59contains multiple sexual harassment lawsuits
00:32:02against Richard over the past 30 years.
00:32:06Some of them also have ongoing lawsuits.
00:32:09They're all just allegations, and they've all been settled.
00:32:12I'm innocent.
00:32:13We've also got in contact with some of the victims,
00:32:15and they're willing to come forward and testify.
00:32:17Actually, I have not finished yet.
00:32:19You're also stealing money from the company.
00:32:22And we have the financial records to prove it.
00:32:26The evidence is clear.
00:32:28He's guilty.
00:32:31Okay, then, let's all vote
00:32:33for Richard Donnell's immediate suspension.
00:32:36All in favor?
00:32:42We have 15 votes.
00:32:44The board has decided.
00:32:46Richard Donnell is officially removed from his position.
00:32:49We have 15 votes.
00:32:51The board has decided.
00:32:53Richard Donnell is officially removed from his position.
00:32:56Security, escort him out immediately.
00:32:59I know my way.
00:33:05And all in favor of appointing
00:33:08Jessica Miller as the new CEO.
00:33:20I'm sorry I was late.
00:33:22I had to make sure I had enough evidence to nail him.
00:33:24No, don't be sorry, Daniel.
00:33:26That was so worth the wait.
00:33:28Good.
00:33:30This is not over.
00:33:32You'll see.
00:33:33How's packing going, Lisa?
00:33:35You're about to be evicted soon.
00:33:37Bye-bye.
00:33:43She won again, that bitch.
00:33:45I know. It's so unfair.
00:33:47Do we have a guest?
00:33:48Lisa, honey.
00:33:50I've been trying to reach you.
00:33:52Why haven't you returned my calls?
00:33:54I've been busy.
00:33:55Busy.
00:33:57Dealing with Jessica.
00:33:59How did you know?
00:34:00Oh, I know.
00:34:01And I think I know how to help you take it down.
00:34:04Again.
00:34:05No use to me anymore, Adrian.
00:34:07I only needed you to help me get rid of Jessica.
00:34:11To the new CEO of the Miller Empire.
00:34:14Well, I couldn't have done it without you, Danny.
00:34:16I also have another Christmas surprise for you.
00:34:21Who are you calling?
00:34:25Is it?
00:34:26Yes, Jess.
00:34:27It's your mother, Clara.
00:34:29Oh, my God. Mom?
00:34:31Oh, Jessica, you're a grown woman now.
00:34:34The Miller family threatened to kill you, Jess.
00:34:37I had no option but to vanish.
00:34:39I'm so sorry.
00:34:42I had no option but to vanish.
00:34:46Mom, it's okay.
00:34:48You didn't do anything wrong.
00:34:49I'll bring you back into the country.
00:34:51I promise.
00:34:53Daniel, how did you find her?
00:34:55I have a few powerful friends.
00:34:57They did me a favor.
00:34:59But 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 thought I'd 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, buddy.
00:35:58Good to see you, too, man.
00:36:00Jess, I wanted you to meet an old friend of mine.
00:36:02Adrian, 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're still in love with 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 you're lying.
00:37:02Boss, Adrian Westley 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 knew you stayed, 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.
00:38:05Jess, you don't need to apologize.
00:38:07Adrian's an asshole.
00:38:08He's just trying to do it to get under your skin.
00:38:11I did care for Adrian once, but 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.
00:38:37I love you.
00:38:43I love you too, Jess.
00:38:45And I'm not going anywhere.
00:39:00Good morning, husband.
00:39:02Morning, wife.
00:39:04Are you ready for your big day as the new CEO?
00:39:07If only you were with me.
00:39:29You're going to do great today.
00:39:34No.
00:39:36No, no, no.
00:39:38Jess, here's your coffee.
00:39:44What's wrong?
00:39:45Oh, it's just, it's this job. It's all so new to me.
00:39:49Okay, 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.
00:39:59Hey, Jess.
00:40:00Hey, Jess.
00:40:02Look at you sitting in the big chair now.
00:40:05Oh, G, I am so happy you're here.
00:40:09Aw.
00:40:11You must be Daniel.
00:40:13Jessica's been talking about you for days.
00:40:17I'm flattered.
00:40:19I really wish you could be here with me, G. It's exhausting.
00:40:22Oh, at least you have a job, Jess.
00:40:24I've been looking for work for the past two months.
00:40:27Jess?
00:40:30Do you like Deanna being here?
00:40:34Of course. We've been besties since forever.
00:40:39Yeah, what kind of question is that?
00:40:41Well, why don't you use your CEO power and hire Deanna?
00:40:47Oh, I don't, I know what you mean.
00:40:50I don't understand.
00:40:52How 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.
00:41:10Oh my god, Jess. Thank you so much.
00:41:13See? Being a boss is easy.
00:41:16You can do whatever you want.
00:41:25Oh my god.
00:41:27What's wrong?
00:41:28The company's stock prices are dropping like crazy. What is happening?
00:41:34This isn't normal.
00:41:36The stock's getting down.
00:41:38Well, well, well.
00:41:40Looks like things aren't going so well.
00:41:43What did you do, Lisa?
00:41:45I asked Richard and some of the other investors to sell their stocks.
00:41:49The board members are not going to be happy about the stock prices, Jessica.
00:41:53What do you want?
00:41:54Resign as CEO or I will destroy this company.
00:41:59No way.
00:42:01Okay.
00:42:03Then I will destroy this company.
00:42:05Jessica, the board members are asking to meet with you. They're angry.
00:42:14What are you going to do, Jess?
00:42:16Okay, I'll meet with the board.
00:42:18Wait, Jess.
00:42:20Don't go. Take a seat.
00:42:24What is it?
00:42:26Lisa, are you sure the stock prices are going down?
00:42:30Because to me, they seem to be going up and up.
00:42:34That'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.
00:42:49You must be my lucky star.
00:42:55Daniel.
00:42:58Gianna.
00:43:00I know who you are, Daniel.
00:43:02You're the son of James Thornton.
00:43:04How did you find out?
00:43:06My identity is meant to be a secret.
00:43:08I used to work for your father.
00:43:10Please don't tell Jess.
00:43:12I'll pay you. How much do you want?
00:43:14I don't want your money.
00:43:16I care for my friend.
00:43:18Actually, your father fired me because I tried to help Jessica.
00:43:21I'm sorry, Gianna.
00:43:22It's okay.
00:43:24I just want to know why.
00:43:26She hates my family.
00:43:28I have to lie to her.
00:43:30She hates your family, but she loves you.
00:43:34I can see that.
00:43:36You really think so?
00:43:38Yes.
00:43:40I love her too.
00:43:42She's the best thing that's ever happened to me.
00:43:46That's good to hear.
00:43:48Please protect her.
00:43:50Please protect her.
00:43:58Daniel.
00:44:00It's my mom.
00:44:02Adrian threatened her.
00:44:08Adrian 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?
00:44:16Jess.
00:44:17I don't want you to worry about it.
00:44:19I'm going to make sure your mom gets here safely.
00:44:36Ted.
00:44:38I need you to make sure Jessica's mom gets here safely.
00:44:41Book her on the first flight out tomorrow.
00:44:43Got it, boss.
00:44:45She'll be here in town the day after tomorrow.
00:44:47Good.
00:44:54Jess, it's been taken care of.
00:44:56Your mom's going to be here the day after tomorrow.
00:44:59Thank 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.
00:45:27So?
00:45:30Do you like this place?
00:45:32It's amazing.
00:45:34But, Jess, I appreciate the gesture.
00:45:37But you don't need to buy me a house.
00:45:40No. No. I insist.
00:45:43You've done so much to help me.
00:45:47Besides, we can live together here.
00:45:50Mr. Thornton.
00:45:52Your father is here.
00:45:54Are you meeting him here?
00:45:59Well, I've never met your parents.
00:46:03So I'm pretty excited to meet an in-law.
00:46:08Oh, is...
00:46:10Is that him?
00:46:12Come on, let's go say hi.
00:46:14Jess, wait.
00:46:15Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
00:46:20I might not have told my dad about you and our marriage.
00:46:23Why?
00:46:26Because he has a heart condition.
00:46:29I think it's best you stay here.
00:46:32Okay.
00:46:34I'll just stay here, then.
00:46:38Good.
00:46:43Dad?
00:46:45Come on.
00:46:47What the hell?
00:46:49Jessica's here. She can't see her face.
00:46:51Don't take them off.
00:46:53I want to talk to you about Ashley, Daniel.
00:46:59Why hasn't Daniel told his father about me and our wedding?
00:47:03Ashley, really? Not today.
00:47:07And what is this shirt you're wearing?
00:47:10Your mother insisted I wear it.
00:47:12And this cherry you left in the morning, right?
00:47:15Said it makes me look more grounded.
00:47:19And I bought you one.
00:47:22And don't go changing our subject. I 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?
00:47:45I held up my end of the bargain, Daniel. I want this deal done now.
00:47:50Actually, Clara isn't safe yet.
00:47:52Lisa Miller might try to sabotage everything.
00:47:55This is why you don't mess with the Miller family.
00:47:59You should have left it alone.
00:48:01All I'm asking is just a few more days.
00:48:03Ashley is coming to town in a few days.
00:48:05What?
00:48:07Jess!
00:48:09Jess.
00:48:12Jess.
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.
00:48:30It's lovely to meet you, Jimmy.
00:48:32And can I just say, that is a lovely Hawaiian shirt.
00:48:36It really, really suits you.
00:48:38Well, thank you, Jessica.
00:48:39It's one I'm fond of.
00:48:42So, who is Ashley?
00:48:46I heard you guys talking about her earlier.
00:48:48Oh, she's just an old family friend.
00:48:53They grew up and went to law school together.
00:48:57And she had Daniel's first kiss.
00:49:00Oh.
00:49:02Her wedding is approaching soon, and I'd like Daniel to attend.
00:49:07Dad!
00:49:09Reminiscing about the good old days.
00:49:11No, it's fine, honestly.
00:49:13It's lovely to hear about Daniel's childhood and more about his life.
00:49:17You bastard child!
00:49:23Well, well.
00:49:25What do we have here?
00:49:27You think you can afford this place?
00:49:30You'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!
00:49:48That'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.
00:50:07Your family suck, Jessica.
00:50:10Especially your mother.
00:50:12The 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.
00:50:33Damn!
00:50:38How dare you slap me!
00:50:41That is enough, Kristen.
00:50:44You're not going to wear hair no more.
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.
00:50:57The 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.
00:51:29Well, I appreciate it.
00:51:32You're a nice girl.
00:51:34You found a good wife, son.
00:51:38Dad.
00:51:40About Ashley's wedding.
00:51:42I don't think I'm going to be able to make it.
00:51:44I'll look into it.
00:51:46I'll speak to her about it.
00:51:48Oh, no, no, no, no.
00:51:50Daniel can still attend.
00:51:52It's not a problem.
00:51:54Jess, I just want to focus on you and I.
00:51:56I'm not the jealous type.
00:51:58Plus, I don't want you to miss your first crush's wedding.
00:52:02Well, you decide, Daniel.
00:52:05Oh, there's a long party.
00:52:08You 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.
00:52:26Well, this place is extremely high class.
00:52:31Well, my dad has a few rich friends.
00:52:38And James Thornton is here.
00:52:42I know you don't want to see him.
00:52:44But Jess, my dad's here.
00:52:47He's going to join us later.
00:52:49Okay.
00:52:51The bidding's about to start.
00:52:52Oh, the bitch is here!
00:52:54I know.
00:52:56Don't worry, we can teach him a lesson.
00:52:58Yeah, how?
00:53:00Let's see if Daniel can handle a little humiliation.
00:53:04With money.
00:53:06With money? What money?
00:53:08I haven't gotten my inheritance back yet.
00:53:10Yeah, I know.
00:53:12Your mother spoke to Richard.
00:53:14He said he's willing to donate us some cash
00:53:16if we make Jessica look ugly.
00:53:18Oh.
00:53:19You're the best.
00:53:22I know.
00:53:28Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to this evening's auction.
00:53:31We have for you the last dance.
00:53:34Bid starts at one million dollars.
00:53:40One million dollars!
00:53:43Two million dollars, right here.
00:53:46Two million dollars, right here.
00:53:51Three million dollars!
00:53:57Four million dollars!
00:54:00What 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 bid.
00:54:10Five million dollars!
00:54:12Daniel, what are you doing?
00:54:13Don't worry, Jess. I've got this.
00:54:19Five million dollars!
00:54:21Daniel, what are you doing?
00:54:23Don't worry, Jess. I've got this.
00:54:25I've got six million dollars.
00:54:28Cash.
00:54:30Boom.
00:54:32Can't compete with that.
00:54:34Watch this.
00:54:36Seven million dollars.
00:54:38Eight million dollars.
00:54:40Did that just happen?
00:54:41Ten million dollars!
00:54:46Impossible.
00:54:48Ten million, once, twice, sold.
00:54:52Two gentlemen there.
00:55:01Where did you get that money from?
00:55:04Well, do you remember me telling you about I have a powerful friend?
00:55:08Yeah, the one who helped me find my mother.
00:55:12Jessica.
00:55:14James Thornton.
00:55:16In the flesh. Or Mrs. Thornton.
00:55:20I 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, but you've just got to trust me.
00:55:35Yeah, but why didn't you just tell me in the first place, Daniel?
00:55:39Jess!
00:55:41Jessica!
00:55:42Don't follow me!
00:55:47Oh, this could get interesting.
00:55:50Uh-huh.
00:56:03Look who's alone.
00:56:05No, just leave me alone.
00:56:07You're never going to win against James Thornton. He's my mother's best friend.
00:56:11You're going to lose everything.
00:56:13Poor babe, still played by the big boys.
00:56:15James Thornton and his son have been playing you all along.
00:56:20Wait, what did you just say? James Thornton and his son?
00:56:25Wait, Jess, you didn't know? Daniel Thornton is his son.
00:56:31Oh, my God.
00:56:33You didn't know that, but now that I do...
00:56:36That's enough!
00:56:39Excuse me, Mr. Thornton.
00:56:41Crown prince said, the Thornton family.
00:56:52This 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.
00:56:59Get out of here.
00:57:02I...
00:57:10Jess, I've been trying to tell you...
00:57:12Am I a joke to you?
00:57:14No, what do you mean?
00:57:16You and your father.
00:57:18You've been playing me this whole time.
00:57:21No, I've been standing by your side all the time, Jess.
00:57:25I can't trust you.
00:57:27You lied to me.
00:57:29You're right.
00:57:31You're right.
00:57:34I have been hiding things from you.
00:57:38You know what I haven't told you yet?
00:57:42Another big secret.
00:57:44Are 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.
00:57:57It was five years ago.
00:57:59Five years ago?
00:58:00Yes.
00:58:02At a party.
00:58:04I was drunk and I fell in a pool.
00:58:15Oh, thank God you're alive.
00:58:21I was drowning and you saved my life.
00:58:24But you won't remember that.
00:58:27But I will forever be grateful for what you did for me that day.
00:58:31That...
00:58:33That was you?
00:58:34Yes.
00:58:35My 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!
00:58:43You can't stop me from seeing her!
00:58:45I'm doing what's best for you, Daniel.
00:58:47That 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.
00:58:57It's okay.
00:59:01I was ashamed to approach you.
00:59:03I just 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.
00:59:10Now 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.
00:59:20You saved me.
00:59:21We...
00:59:23I guess we...
00:59:24Just belong together.
00:59:29Ew.
00:59:30Corny.
00:59:33But just...
00:59:36No more secrets.
00:59:38Okay?
00:59:40I promise.
00:59:42No more secrets.
00:59:52No more secrets.
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.
01:00:10Gianna's just fixed 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.
01:00:28You're the best.
01:00:34Well, that went better than I thought.
01:00:35Don't underestimate yourself, Jess.
01:00:38You did great.
01:00:43Heya, Jess.
01:00:45What are you doing here?
01:00:47What are you doing here?
01:00:48I just wanted to share with you some interesting facts about your dear husband, Daniel Thornton.
01:00:54Gianna, can you wait outside a moment?
01:01:00Okay, I'm telling you now.
01:01:02Whatever bad, made-up facts that you've come to tell me about Daniel, it's not gonna work.
01:01:08Because Daniel already told me everything.
01:01:11Everything?
01:01:12I don't know.
01:01:13Daniel told me everything.
01:01:15Everything?
01:01:16Are 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?
01:01:27Ashley Wimbledon.
01:01:28Heiress to the famous Wimbledon family.
01:01:31Ring any bells?
01:01:32Ashley.
01:01:36Ashley.
01:01:38Who is Ashley?
01:01:40I heard you guys talking about her earlier.
01:01:43Oh, she's just an old childhood friend.
01:01:47They grew up and went to law school together.
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 is bringing her back, babe.
01:02:22You're not gonna see her.
01:02:27After years of separation with your mother, Daniel 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.
01:02:52Daniel isn't gonna bring her back.
01:02:55Care 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 to her.
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.
01:03:47Jess.
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.
01:03:59Adrian, you sabotaged this.
01:04:01You'll pay for this.
01:04:03See, babe?
01:04:04I told you he's not bringing her back.
01:04:06You said everything was taken care of.
01:04:09Jess, it's not me.
01:04:10It'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.
01:04:17Jess.
01:04:18He said that you were going to marry Ashley.
01:04:20Okay, so it's true.
01:04:22Jess, can we just talk about this?
01:04:25No.
01:04:26No, 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!
01:04:33Can you just...
01:04:34It 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 they both confirm that she legally entered the country.
01:05:38Good.
01:05:39That is enough.
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.
01:06:25Bet 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.
01:06:32You disgust me.
01:06:39Jess, we need to talk.
01:06:41I don't want to talk to you.
01:06:42It'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 legally 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 everything.
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.
01:07:41You let her go.
01:07:42This has gone on far enough.
01:07:44Not so fast, sis.
01:07:47This is only the beginning.
01:07:51You sign this,
01:07:53we let her go.
01:07:55And what is it?
01:07:57An agreement signing everything over to us.
01:08:00The house,
01:08:02company,
01:08:03everything.
01:08:12It's signed.
01:08:14Now let her go.
01:08:16God, you are so naive, sis!
01:08:21What more do you want?
01:08:23Get down on your knees
01:08:25and show that you know your place.
01:08:30Get down on your knees
01:08:32and show that you know your place.
01:08:35Wait.
01:08:40That's better.
01:08:42Now bark like a dog.
01:08:48Come on.
01:08:53That's enough, Kristen.
01:08:58We're getting out of here, Monk.
01:09:11Let's get her out of here.
01:09:13Come on, let's go.
01:09:15God, Daniel!
01:09:21We need to finish this.
01:09:22Mom, we gotta go.
01:09:23Come on.
01:09:25Daniel!
01:09:31Jess?
01:09:34Don't try and talk to the police.
01:09:36They're on their way.
01:09:37Jess,
01:09:38I'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 am so sorry.
01:10:02Daniel, what are you apologizing for?
01:10:06You saved my mom.
01:10:07You saved us.
01:10:10Hello again, Mr. Thornton.
01:10:12Officer, you're here.
01:10:14Yes.
01:10:15You promised me last week you'd get that interview done.
01:10:20Officer,
01:10:21my husband is injured.
01:10:23He's literally lying in bed.
01:10:25Well, that doesn't change the requirements.
01:10:28Jess,
01:10:29it's okay.
01:10:31We can do the interview.
01:10:36We can do the interview.
01:10:38Are you insane?
01:10:40We haven't rehearsed this.
01:10:43Jess,
01:10:44when you see
01:10:45we'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.
01:11:11But it was five years ago
01:11:14at a pool party.
01:11:15And we had our first kiss when we first met.
01:11:20It 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 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.
01:12:03You two are quite the couple.
01:12:05Thank you, officer.
01:12:07Daniel.
01:12:08Daniel.
01:12:09Daniel.
01:12:10She's coming.
01:12:11Who's coming?
01:12:18Your fiancé.
01:12:20That's who.
01:12:25Your fiancé.
01:12:27That's who.
01:12:28Ashley.
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.
01:12:56Ashley.
01:12:58Our engagement was long over before Jessica came to the picture.
01:13:04Oh.
01:13:05I see.
01:13:06You think this is over.
01:13:09I'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.
01:13:23Watch me.
01:13:29You're not the only heiress here.
01:13:35I own Miller Empire.
01:13:38And if you come for the Thorntons,
01:13:41the Miller Empire is gonna come for you so hard.
01:13:50You've got guts, Jessica.
01:13:53I like you.
01:13:56I gotta tell you, I didn't expect that.
01:13:59This is so much better than watching TV.
01:14:01Glad to see you've replaced me with someone with a little fire, Daniel.
01:14:10I always knew Daniel didn't love me,
01:14:13but he was too afraid of his father
01:14:16to ever go after his true love.
01:14:18But I guess I'm happy
01:14:22that 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 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 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 gonna get away with this, asshole!
01:16:00I already have.
01:16:08I remember when this place was filled with warmth and laughter.
01:16:12Used 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?
01:16:37Wow.
01:16:39I am so sorry for everything 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 gonna be hard to forgive and forget.
01:16:55I 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...
01:17:10Nauseous, that's all.
01:17:12Have you been getting any other symptoms like dizziness or fatigue?
01:17:18Yeah, 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 gonna have a baby!
01:17:35Wait, that means I'm gonna 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.
01:18:00And I think this is the perfect time to use it.
01:18:05Go get it.
01:18:06I'm gonna do this?
01:18:07Yeah, go.
01:18:10Aww.
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.
01:18:51Okay.
01:18:52Yes, Daniel! Yes, I will marry you! Yes!
01:18:55Really?
01:18:56Yes!
01:19:08Daniel.
01:19:09What?
01:19:1018,000 yuan of dowries?
01:19:12Vani, you have a paralyzed mom and a lousy gambling dad to your family.
01:19:16I'm a good match way out of your league.
01:19:18You should send me a car as dowries instead of asking me for dowries.
01:19:21But I earn more than you.
01:19:23And I paid the down payment of the matrimonial house.
01:19:26Your parents' names are on the house property certificate.
01:19:28And now you ask me for a car?
01:19:30I have no money.
01:19:32Why don't you ask your family for the money?
01:19:34If they don't give, take it as a loan.
01:19:37We can pay them back after we get married.
01:19:41Vani, I really want to marry you.
01:19:44Can't you just do more for our future life?
01:19:47Huh?
01:19:48Chad, don't get me wrong.
01:19:50I'm here to ask for dowries, not give out.
01:19:53I don't care.
01:19:54I don't care.
01:19:55I don't care.
01:19:56I don't care.
01:19:57I don't care.
01:19:58I don't care.
01:19:59I don't care.
01:20:00I don't care.
01:20:02Vani, you'd better take the offer.
01:20:04It is you eager to marry out, saying your mom is seriously ill,
01:20:07and you need a marriage to relieve her worries.
01:20:09Look at you, the least eligible woman.
01:20:11I pity you so that I offer to marry you.
01:20:13If you don't buy me a car, the marriage is off the table.
01:20:15Right.
01:20:16I'm desperate to get married, but not desperate enough to marry you.
01:20:19You!
01:20:22If I won't marry you, who would like to be with you?
01:20:31Hey dude, are you single?
01:20:33Do you mind having a wife?
01:20:34Get on board and go register now.
01:20:36I'd like to give it a shot.
01:20:37Anyhow, I don't have a wife.
01:20:40Do you see that?
01:20:41He wanna marry me.
01:20:44Scumbag.
01:20:53I'm married?
01:20:56Pack your things tonight, and move to my...
01:20:59our home.
01:21:00Where?
01:21:02So, we are living together?
01:21:04What are you thinking about?
01:21:06We're married, it's natural for us to live together.
01:21:10Well, I'm John, an office worker.
01:21:14I'm usually busy at work.
01:21:16When you move in, you don't need to take care of me.
01:21:18I can support you with my salary.
01:21:20I have to work now, see you then.
01:21:21I'll pick you up after work.
01:21:23I see, we are working slaves.
01:21:24It's not easy to make a living.
01:21:26Just go back to work.
01:21:27How do you go home?
01:21:28Why not take a taxi?
01:21:29I'll pay for it.
01:21:30There are short bikes at the gate.
01:21:31I can ride one.
01:21:32Working slave?
01:21:33My grandma chose her to be my wife.
01:21:35She seems to be interesting for now.
01:21:38I fainted last time.
01:21:39It's her saved me.
01:21:41After I left the hospital, she knew I lived alone.
01:21:44And made many calls to cheer me up.
01:21:46John, she's the kindest girl I've ever met.
01:21:49You'll love her when you see her.
01:21:51Grandma, we are in a new era.
01:21:53Why do you wanna arrange marriage for me?
01:21:54What?
01:21:55I got her schedule yesterday.
01:21:57I want you to meet her.
01:21:58If you think she's a good girl,
01:22:00you can develop your relationship after marriage.
01:22:03Hear me out.
01:22:04If you don't give it a shot,
01:22:05you'll see my scenery casket when you get back.
01:22:09Boss, we've got 1,000 acre land of suburb of eastern China.
01:22:13Construction will be started in the middle of this month.
01:22:15Central bank is asking us for a loan.
01:22:19Yes.
01:22:20Well...
01:22:27That's all for today.
01:22:28I'm going to pick up my wife home.
01:22:30Pick up your wife?
01:22:31What? Our boss is married?
01:22:36What gift should I give to a girl on our first date?
01:22:39The first date?
01:22:40A lightning marriage?
01:22:45I think you're suitable for our project in Africa.
01:22:48Do you think so?
01:22:49Sorry, boss. I won't do it again.
01:22:50Just answer my question. No more bullshit.
01:22:53I think if you're not familiar with each other,
01:22:56it's better to send flowers.
01:22:58Half an hour.
01:22:59In just half an hour,
01:23:00I'll put the imported roses to the given location.
01:23:03Good.
01:23:05From now on, you drive my car and I'll drive yours.
01:23:12What?
01:23:16What's wrong with Mr. Lu?
01:23:18He wanna drive my...
01:23:20old Mercedes
01:23:21instead of his fancy Phantom?
01:23:27Hey!
01:23:28Hey, what are you doing?
01:23:31Good dogs don't get underfoot.
01:23:33Hey, you! Get out of my way!
01:23:36Oops.
