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.
00:00:35For you, baby.
00:00:36Yeah.
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.
00:00:49It was real great to win the jackpot.
00:00:51Now 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?
00:01:04Well, we had a little help from James Thornton,
00:01:07the 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 through your next of kin, Lisa and Kristen Miller.
00:01:53You thought you could get rich overnight?
00:01:56Keep 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.
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.
00:02:52I've spoken to the judge and Miss Miller should be released immediately.
00:02:57We can't deport her.
00:02:59She is about to marry a US 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, 100% real.
00:03:18Prove it then.
00:03:23Kiss.
00:03:26That's it? You call that a kiss?
00:03:40Need more proof, officer?
00:03:42Look, this guy is a lawyer to some of the most important families in town.
00:03:47And if you don't let her go, I'm going to make sure you lose your damn job.
00:03:50Fine, 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.
00:04:38I'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 going to 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.
00:05:44Fill it with memories.
00:05:58You can't do this!
00:06:00Jess, it's okay.
00:06:01Just wait here.
00:06:02I'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 Thornton.
00:06:28My mother is gone because of you?
00:06:30Well, we had a little help from James Thornton.
00:06:33The most powerful man in the Thornton family.
00:06:37Wait.
00:06:38I recognize that face.
00:06:40From the newspaper, that 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.
00:07:34Yeah.
00:07:35I can explain.
00:07:36I'm not marrying 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, he's not my father.
00:08:04He 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.
00:08:23Well, you have a nice apartment.
00:08:26Welcome.
00:08:29Is that your Labrador?
00:08:30It looks exactly like mine.
00:08:32I got mine as a Christmas present when I was nine.
00:08:34No way.
00:08:35I got mine as a Christmas present when I was nine.
00:08:37That's crazy.
00:08:43Jess, 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.
00:09:36Is she spying on us?
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 up 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.
00:12:20Good.
00:12:22And, 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.
00:13:35No way.
00:13:42Jessica, how's work?
00:13:44Did you get your job back?
00:13:46Daniel, I need a lawyer.
00:13:55Well, look who decided to show up.
00:13:58Too bad for you, Jess.
00:14:00Turns out daddy's will left you nothing.
00:14:03I knew all along Robert wouldn't leave anything for this little pathetic bastard child.
00:14:10You are out of luck.
00:14:12Well, that's a lie.
00:14:13You showed me the will.
00:14:15And I signed the documents.
00:14:18I'm sorry, Jessica.
00:14:20I've just discovered a revised will that supports Kristen and Lisa's claims.
00:14:27Mr. Thornton.
00:14:28Who is this?
00:14:30He's my lawyer.
00:14:31And a damn good one.
00:14:32Oh.
00:14:34You know, Jess, I didn't realize you had enough money to pay for a fancy little lawyer.
00:14:38You sleep with him?
00:14:41Patrick, can I have a word with you outside?
00:14:44Talk all you want.
00:14:46It won't change anything.
00:14:51All right, Patrick.
00:14:53I'm going to keep this short and sweet.
00:14:55I know you changed the will to favor Kristen and Lisa.
00:14:57I know what you're talking about, Mr. Thornton.
00:15:00The revised will's solid.
00:15:02Ted found an email exchange with my father.
00:15:05Here, take a look.
00:15:07You've been caught, Patrick.
00:15:09Honor of the will, I'll report you to the Bar Association.
00:15:12You'll lose your license and any chance of practicing law or gain.
00:15:15That goes against your father's wishes.
00:15:17You don't understand the position you put me in.
00:15:19I'll deal with my father.
00:15:20Don't you worry about that.
00:15:22You just worry about doing the right thing.
00:15:29Um, this revised will's a fake.
00:15:32The original will's stamped.
00:15:33What the hell are you doing?
00:15:35He's doing the right thing.
00:15:39Jessica, you've gotten your inheritance back.
00:15:42Congratulations.
00:15:44Oh my God.
00:15:47Patrick, do what you are supposed to do
00:15:50or 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.
00:16:07Isn't that right, Patrick?
00:16:09Yes.
00:16:10The original will's a fake.
00:16:12Yes.
00:16:13The original will stands.
00:16:15No, you are crazy.
00:16:16No, I'm not.
00:16:18According to the original will, Jessica stands to inherit this mansion.
00:16:22Kristen, you're out.
00:16:24I think you two should leave.
00:16:26You homewrecker.
00:16:28Just like your mother.
00:16:30I will not allow violence.
00:16:33I didn't come here to argue over a house and assets.
00:16:38I came here to be recognized as an actual member of this family.
00:16:42Yeah, well it's easy for you to say you're getting everything.
00:16:44You don't know how lucky you are, Lisa.
00:16:46You grew up with a father who loved you.
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
00:17:02than to see the two of you living in it.
00:17:09You two should pack your things up.
00:17:12You have one week to leave this house.
00:17:22What the hell were you thinking?
00:17:24Sabotaging my plan?
00:17:26I was just doing the right thing.
00:17:28The right thing?
00:17:29Going against me?
00:17:31Kristen Miller has got no power anymore.
00:17:33Her game is over.
00:17:35I'm sure you didn't come all this way just to argue with me.
00:17:39So what do you want?
00:17:41I just want Jessica to get her mom back.
00:17:45Interesting.
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?
00:18:05Yeah.
00:18:06You're willing to do that?
00:18:08Yeah, I am.
00:18:10But only if she's reunited with her mother.
00:18:14Okay, deal.
00:18:17I'll make the arrangements.
00:18:20So you're really in love with this one, huh?
00:18:22Yeah, I am.
00:18:25Okay, good.
00:18:27I sure hope she's worth it.
00:18:29She is.
00:18:32Oh, what'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.
00:18:47When did you two meet?
00:18:49Uh, we met at a friend's party two years ago.
00:18:53What do you say, Jessica?
00:18:55Huh?
00:18:57Oh, yeah, yeah.
00:18:59Interesting.
00:19:01And 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.
00:19:10Sorry, 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.
00:19:28Uh, that'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.
00:19:40This.
00:19:43How did we do in there?
00:19:47It was pretty bad.
00:19:50Look.
00:19:53I'm the son of James Thornton.
00:19:54I know who you are.
00:19:57Okay.
00:20:00You want to bribe me?
00:20:03Yes.
00:20:04I can't be bribed.
00:20:06Here's one million dollars.
00:20:12Two million dollars.
00:20:14Right.
00:20:18Three million dollars.
00:20:21It's tempting, but like I said, you can't bribe me.
00:20:24Please.
00:20:25Can you just give us one more week to prepare?
00:20:28I really want to be with this woman.
00:20:30She means the world to me.
00:20:31She saved my life.
00:20:33I'm not going to take your money, but I'll give you one week.
00:20:36Make it count.
00:20:39Next time, I want to see some genuine affection between you two.
00:20:42If anything seems a bit off, your game's up.
00:20:45Of course.
00:20:46And one more thing.
00:20:48I can tell you two haven't had sex yet.
00:20:52I'm that good, Mr. Daniel.
00:20:54Don't try and fool me.
00:21:01She gave us another chance.
00:21:02Oh, my 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.
00:21:23Now, I wanted to make our first Christmas special,
00:21:27so I did a little digging and I found this.
00:21:31This tree is amazing.
00:21:37What happened?
00:21:41Let me have a look.
00:21:48Um...
00:22:15I have a festive gift for you two.
00:22:27Wow.
00:22:29Jess, you look gorgeous.
00:22:37And then I told him that's not how you negotiate.
00:22:40You did it.
00:22:41You did it.
00:23:11This could be wrong.
00:23:13Maybe.
00:23:15Maybe not.
00:23:41And that is how you negotiate.
00:23:47You're a learning fan.
00:24:03Stop.
00:24:05Hold on.
00:24:06I got this.
00:24:08Oh.
00:24:39I don't know.
00:24:46I don't know.
00:24:52I don't know.
00:25:04That looks familiar.
00:25:06No, I've seen this before in a magazine.
00:25:12That looks like one of those, um, Thornton family watches.
00:25:20Is it real?
00:25:22Uh, no.
00:25:24It's fake.
00:25:29You wear a fake watch?
00:25:31Yeah.
00:25:42I'm so happy, Jess.
00:25:48There's also something I need to tell you about your mom.
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.
00:26:22Morning.
00:26:23This is the most beautiful morning that I've ever had.
00:26:26Daniel, 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.
00:26:40Oh, Jessica, last night was amazing.
00:26:43Uh, yeah, Jess, uh, I get it.
00:26:49It was, uh, it was a one-time thing.
00:26:54Yeah, just like, just a one-time thing.
00:26:57Yeah.
00:26:59Anyway, it's, uh, 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.
00:27:19Uh, what I was meant to say is I'm gonna help you.
00:27:30I don't know what to do, Mother.
00:27:31That bitch is kicking us out.
00:27:33We still have a chance.
00:27:34That bastard child needs a unanimous vote from the board to be chosen as the next CEO.
00:27:40So we just need a board member to back us up.
00:27:43I will call Richard.
00:27:44Everyone respects Richard's vote and I will make sure he doesn't vote for her.
00:27:49And I'll dig up all the dirt I can find on her.
00:27:52You go, girl.
00:28:04These clothes are beautiful, but, 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?
00:28:40Uh, no.
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.
00:29:22So that's how you got your lawyer, huh?
00:29:31Now that you mention it, maybe she was a little friendly, but 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 and show 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?
00:30:23Good luck in there, sis.
00:30:26You're going to need it.
00:30:29You don't have a vote.
00:30:33I know my background doesn't seem very typical of a CEO, but I built myself from the bottom up here.
00:30:40Miller Corporation is a leader in tech and services, reaching industries from healthcare to energy.
00:30:50We have over 10,000 employees worldwide who have worked hard to build this company from the ground up, and I was one of them.
00:31:00I know them, and I believe that I can help lead this company to become everyone's company.
00:31:07Let's proceed to the vote. All in favor?
00:31:12Robert lost his damn mind. He picked his secret child to be the CEO only because of his guilty conscience.
00:31:22Richard, if I may...
00:31:24I'm not done talking. You can't lead us, and you're not getting my vote.
00:31:30Richard, if I may speak...
00:31:32Go ahead, but I won't change my mind.
00:31:37Sorry for interrupting everyone, but I have something important to share with you all today.
00:31:42Who the hell are you?
00:31:44Well, Richard, I'm the person who's going to expose you.
00:31:47What did you just say?
00:31:49How do I say this? Uh...
00:31:52You're a sex pervert.
00:31:54What?
00:31:57You see, everyone, this file contains multiple sexual harassment lawsuits against Richard over the past 30 years.
00:32:08Some of them also have ongoing lawsuits.
00:32:11They're all just allegations, and they've all been settled. I'm innocent.
00:32:15We've also got in contact with some of the victims, and they're willing to come forward and testify.
00:32:19Actually, I have not finished yet.
00:32:22You're also stealing money from the company.
00:32:25And we have the financial records to prove it.
00:32:32The evidence is clear. He's guilty.
00:32:37Okay, then. Let's all vote for Richard Donald's immediate suspension.
00:32:42All in favor?
00:32:48We have 15 votes.
00:32:50The board has decided. Richard Donald is officially removed from his position.
00:32:55Security, escort him out immediately.
00:32:58I know my way.
00:33:04And all in favor of appointing Jessica Miller as the new CEO.
00:33:21I'm sorry I was late. I had to make sure I had enough evidence to nail him.
00:33:26No, don't be sorry, Daniel. That was so worth the wait.
00:33:29Good.
00:33:32This is not over. You'll see.
00:33:35How's packing going, Lisa? You're about to be evicted soon.
00:33:38Bye-bye.
00:33:44She won again, that bitch.
00:33:46I know. It's so unfair.
00:33:48Do we have a guest?
00:33:50Lisa, honey, I've been trying to reach you.
00:33:53Why haven't you returned my calls?
00:33:55I've been busy.
00:33:57Busy? Dealing with Jessica?
00:34:00How did you know?
00:34:02Oh, I know. And I think I know how to help you take it down.
00:34:05Again.
00:34:07No use to me anymore, Adrian. I only needed you to help me get rid of Jessica.
00:34:12To the new CEO of the Miller Empire.
00:34:15Well, I couldn't have done it without you, Daniel.
00:34:17I also have another Christmas surprise for you.
00:34:21Who are you calling?
00:34:25Is it?
00:34:26Yes, Jess. It'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.
00:34:40Oh, Mom, it's okay. It's okay.
00:34:42Like, you didn't do anything wrong.
00:34:44I'll bring you back into the country. I promise.
00:34:48Daniel, how did you find her?
00:34:50I have a few powerful friends. They did me a favor.
00:34:54But I'll leave you two alone.
00:35:11Two more, please.
00:35:15Daniel.
00:35:17Adrian.
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. Oh, my God.
00:35:27The last time I must have seen you was, uh, 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 here for a quick bite.
00:35:42Nice, man. Nice.
00:35:44I saw your date earlier. She looks pretty.
00:35:47Yeah, my wife.
00:35:49Your wife?
00:35:50Yeah, Jess.
00:35:51You're married?
00:35:52Yes.
00:35:53Yeah, you have to introduce me to her.
00:35:54Come on. Let's go say hi.
00:35:56Come and say hello.
00:35:57It's good to see you, bud.
00:35:58Good to see you, too, man.
00:36:00Jess, I wanted you to meet an old friend of mine.
00:36:03Adrian, this is Jess. Jess, this is Adrian.
00:36:05We went to law school together.
00:36:09I don't want to see him.
00:36:14I don't want to see him.
00:36:19You two know each other?
00:36:22Yes, Daniel. I was her first boyfriend.
00:36:26Come on, Jess. Don'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.
00:36:42I think you should leave, Adrian.
00:36:44Okay, Daniel. Relax. Now.
00:36:52I'm leaving.
00:36:57She knows she's lying.
00:37:03Boss, Adrian Westley now represents the Eastside Christian Method.
00:37:07They wanted to test the will.
00:37:09I should have known.
00:37:10What else?
00:37:11Adrian also introduced me to Jessica.
00:37:14Actually, he's the one who sabotaged Jessica's immigration paperwork.
00:37:18It caused all this trouble.
00:37:24That son of a bitch.
00:37:26We need to win this war.
00:37:28Whatever it takes.
00:37:37Daniel?
00:37:39Sorry. Did I wake you?
00:37:42No. Can you join me in bed, please?
00:37:50You sure?
00:37:55I just... I wanted to apologize for earlier.
00:38:00The restaurant.
00:38:03I got a bit carried away.
00:38:05Jess, you don't need to apologize.
00:38:08Adrian's an asshole. He's just trying to do it to get under your skin.
00:38:12I did care for Adrian once.
00:38:16But he just destroyed everything we had.
00:38:19I want you to know that I'm here because of you.
00:38:26And you're the only one who I love. No one else.
00:38:43I love you too, Jess.
00:38:45And I'm not going anywhere.
00:39:00Good morning, husband.
00:39:02Morning, wife.
00:39:05Are 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.
00:39:39Jess, here's your coffee.
00:39:45What's wrong?
00:39:46Oh, it's just, it's this job. It's all so new to me.
00:39:50Okay, calm down.
00:39:52Remember, you're the CEO, which means you're the boss.
00:39:56Yeah, but I don't know how to be a boss.
00:40:00Hey, Jess.
00:40:02Look at you sitting in the big chair now.
00:40:06I am so happy you're here.
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.
00:40:22At least you have a job, Jess.
00:40:24I've been looking for work for the past two months.
00:40:28Jess, do you like Gianna being here?
00:40:35Of course.
00:40:36We'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 Gianna?
00:40:48Oh, 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.
00:41:02My first order as a CEO.
00:41:06Gianna, you are hired as my personal assistant.
00:41:11Oh my God, Jess, thank you so much.
00:41:14See, being a boss is easy.
00:41:17You can do whatever you want.
00:41:23Oh my God.
00:41:27What's wrong?
00:41:28The company's stock prices are dropping like crazy.
00:41:32What is happening?
00:41:34This isn't good.
00:41:36The stock's getting down.
00:41:37Well, well, well.
00:41:40Looks like things aren't going so well.
00:41:43What did you do, Lisa?
00:41:44I 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?
00:41:55Resign 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.
00:42:08They'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.
00:42:23What is it?
00:42:25Lisa, are you sure the stock prices are going down?
00:42:29Because to me, they seem to be going up and up.
00:42:33That's impossible. You would need at least a billion dollars.
00:42:36I guess anything's possible these days.
00:42:39God damn it!
00:42:42God, she's annoying.
00:42:48You must be my lucky star.
00:42:57Daniel.
00:43:00Gianna.
00:43:02I know who you are, Daniel.
00:43:04You're the son of James Thornton.
00:43:06How did you find out?
00:43:08My identity is meant to be a secret.
00:43:10I used to work for your father.
00:43:11Please don't tell Jess.
00:43:13I'll pay you. How much do you want?
00:43:15I 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.
00:43:22I'm sorry, Gianna.
00:43:24It's okay.
00:43:26I just want to know why.
00:43:28She hates my family.
00:43:30I have to lie to her.
00:43:32She hates your family, but she loves you.
00:43:36I can see that.
00:43:38You really think so?
00:43:40Yes.
00:43:41I love her, too.
00:43:44She's the best thing that's ever happened to me.
00:43:48That's good to hear.
00:43:50Please protect her.
00:43:59Daniel.
00:44:01It's my mom.
00:44:03Adrian threatened her.
00:44:09Adrian threatened my mom on the phone.
00:44:11He said he was going to block her from entering the country.
00:44:14What should we do?
00:44:16Jess.
00:44:18I don't want you to worry about it.
00:44:20I'm going to make sure your mom gets here safely.
00:44:37Ted.
00:44:39I need you to make sure Jessica's mom gets here safely.
00:44:42Book her on the first flight out tomorrow.
00:44:44Got it, boss.
00:44:45She'll be here in town the day after tomorrow.
00:44:47Good.
00:44:55Jess has been taken care of.
00:44:57Your mom's going to be here the day after tomorrow.
00:45:00Thank you, Daniel.
00:45:03But I'm...
00:45:05I'm still scared.
00:45:07I just, I need a day off.
00:45:09I love the sound of that.
00:45:11What did you have in mind?
00:45:13I was thinking...
00:45:17I want to buy a house.
00:45:28So...
00:45:30Do 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.
00:45:42I insist.
00:45:44You've done so much to help me.
00:45:47Besides, we can live together here.
00:45:50Mr. Thornton.
00:45:51Hi.
00:45:52Your father is here.
00:45:53Are you meeting him here?
00:45:59Well...
00:46:01I've never met your parents.
00:46:03So...
00:46:05I'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.
00:46:17Um...
00:46:20I might not have told my dad about you and our marriage.
00:46:23Why?
00:46:24Uh...
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...
00:46:36stay here, then.
00:46:39Good.
00:46:44Dad?
00:46:45Come on.
00:46:46Daniel, what the hell?
00:46:48Jessica's here.
00:46:49She can't see her face.
00:46:50Don't take them off.
00:46:53I want to talk to you about Ashley, Daniel.
00:46:57Why hasn't Daniel told his father about me and our wedding?
00:47:00Ashley, really?
00:47:02Not today.
00:47:05And what is this shirt you're wearing?
00:47:08Mother insisted I wear it
00:47:10in this charity event in New England.
00:47:12Right.
00:47:13Said it makes me look more grounded.
00:47:17I told you both.
00:47:20And don't go changing our subject.
00:47:22I want to discuss our agreement.
00:47:24I give you Clara, and you marry Ashley.
00:47:31Why does he look so nervous?
00:47:34Am I not good enough?
00:47:39Do we have to talk about this right now?
00:47:42I held up my end of the bargain, Daniel.
00:47:44I want this deal done now.
00:47:47Actually, Clara isn't safe yet.
00:47:49Lisa Miller might try to sabotage us.
00:47:52Lisa Miller might try to sabotage everything.
00:47:55This is why you don't mess with the Miller family.
00:47:58You should have left it alone.
00:48:00All I'm asking is just a few more days.
00:48:02Ashley is coming to town in a few days.
00:48:05What?
00:48:07Jess.
00:48:08Jess.
00:48:18Dad, this is Jess.
00:48:20Jess, this is Dad.
00:48:22You can call him Jimmy.
00:48:24Jimmy?
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.
00:48:40It's one I'm fond of.
00:48:43So, who is Ashley?
00:48:46I heard you guys talking about her earlier.
00:48:49Oh, she's just an old family friend.
00:48:54They grew up and went to law school together.
00:48:57Oh.
00:48:58And she had Daniel's first kiss.
00:49:01Oh.
00:49:03Her wedding is approaching soon and I'd like Daniel to attend.
00:49:08Dad!
00:49:09I'm reminiscing about the good old days.
00:49:11No, it's fine.
00:49:12Honestly, it's lovely to hear about Daniel's childhood and more about his life.
00:49:16You bastard child!
00:49:18Shh.
00:49:23Well, well.
00:49:24What do we have here?
00:49:26You think you can afford this place?
00:49:29You're about to lose this battle and be out on the streets soon.
00:49:34Who's this clown?
00:49:38Looks like he belongs in a circus.
00:49:40How dare you, Kristen!
00:49:42How do you know my name?
00:49:44And don't you dare call me by my first name.
00:49:47That's enough!
00:49:50Don't talk to my father like that.
00:49:55He's your father.
00:49:58How does it feel to be a father of such a loser?
00:50:02Don't talk to my family like that.
00:50:05Your family?
00:50:06Your family suck, Jessica.
00:50:09Especially your mother.
00:50:11The home-wrecking tramp.
00:50:14A whore.
00:50:15A whore.
00:50:23Your family suck, Jessica.
00:50:26Especially your mother.
00:50:28The home-wrecking tramp.
00:50:31A whore.
00:50:34Damn!
00:50:38How dare you slap me!
00:50:41That is enough, Kristen.
00:50:45You're not gonna lay a hand on my wife.
00:50:50Ladies, you need to leave. Now.
00:50:53You can't throw us out. We're buyers.
00:50:55We're not going anywhere.
00:50:56The owner of this property has banned you from coming here.
00:50:59You need to leave now or I will call security.
00:51:04You will regret this.
00:51:08I've heard that a thousand times.
00:51:10Now leave.
00:51:15Leave.
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.
00:51:32Well, I appreciate it.
00:51:35You're a nice girl.
00:51:37You found a good wife, son.
00:51:41Dad.
00:51:43About Ashley's wedding.
00:51:44I don't think I'm gonna be able to make it.
00:51:46I'll look into it.
00:51:48I'll speak to her about it.
00:51:49Oh, no, no, no, no.
00:51:51Daniel can still attend. It's not a problem.
00:51:54Jess, I just want to focus on you and I.
00:51:57I'm not the jealous type.
00:51:59Plus, I don't want you to miss your first crush's wedding.
00:52:04Well, you decide, Daniel.
00:52:06Oh, there's a lawn party.
00:52:09You two want to come? It's in three hours.
00:52:13Yeah.
00:52:14Dad, we'll go.
00:52:16Great.
00:52:18I'll see you there.
00:52:29Well, this place is extremely high class.
00:52:34Well, my dad has a few rich friends.
00:52:39And James Thornton is here.
00:52:43I know you don't want to see him.
00:52:46But Jess, my dad's here.
00:52:49He's gonna join us later.
00:52:50Okay.
00:52:52The bidding's about to start.
00:52:58Oh, that bitch is here!
00:53:00I know.
00:53:01Don't worry, we can teach him a lesson.
00:53:03Yeah, how?
00:53:04Let's see if Daniel can handle a little humiliation.
00:53:08With money.
00:53:10Here with money? What money?
00:53:11I haven't gotten my inheritance back yet.
00:53:13Yeah, I know.
00:53:14Your mother spoke to Richard.
00:53:15Said he's willing to donate us some cash if we make Jessica look ugly.
00:53:22You're the best.
00:53:25I know.
00:53:31Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to this evening's auction.
00:53:34We have for you the last dance.
00:53:37Bid starts at one million dollars.
00:53:43One million dollars!
00:53:47Two million dollars, right here.
00:53:52Three million dollars!
00:53:58Four million dollars!
00:54:01What are they doing? Where did they get that money from?
00:54:04I don't know, but they're definitely trying to humiliate me here.
00:54:07Really? But I don't even care about this bit.
00:54:11Five million dollars!
00:54:13Daniel, what are you doing?
00:54:15Don't worry, Jess. I've got this.
00:54:20Five million dollars!
00:54:21Daniel, what are you doing?
00:54:23Don't worry, Jess. I've got this.
00:54:25I got six million dollars.
00:54:28Cash.
00:54:29Boom.
00:54:31Can't compete with that.
00:54:33Watch this.
00:54:35Seven million dollars!
00:54:38Eight million dollars!
00:54:40Did that just happen?
00:54:41Ten million dollars!
00:54:46Awesome.
00:54:48Ten million. Once. Twice. Sold.
00:54:53Two gentlemen there.
00:55:02Where did you get that money from?
00:55:04Well, do you remember me telling you about I have a powerful friend?
00:55:09Yeah, the one who helped me find my mother.
00:55:13Jessica.
00:55:14James Thornton.
00:55:16In the flesh.
00:55:18Or 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.
00:55:35You've just got to trust me.
00:55:36Yeah, but why didn't you just tell me in the first place, Daniel?
00:55:39Jess!
00:55:41Jessica!
00:55:42Don't follow me!
00:55:45Oh, this could get interesting.
00:55:59Oh, look who's alone.
00:56:03No, just leave me alone.
00:56:05You're never going to win against James Thornton.
00:56:07He's my mother's best friend.
00:56:09You're going to lose everything.
00:56:12You're going to lose everything.
00:56:13Poor babe.
00:56:14Still played by the big boys.
00:56:16James Thornton and his son have been playing you all along.
00:56:20Wait, what did you just say?
00:56:23James Thornton and his son?
00:56:25Wait, Jess, you didn't know?
00:56:27Daniel Thornton is his son.
00:56:31Oh, my God.
00:56:33I didn't know that.
00:56:34Now that I do.
00:56:36Wow.
00:56:37That's enough!
00:56:39Oh, excuse me, Mr. Thornton.
00:56:42Crown Prince Ed of the Thornton family.
00:56:53This man has been lying to you all along.
00:56:56Poor little girl's got no one to trust.
00:56:58Both of you, get out of here.
00:57:02Okay.
00:57:09Jess, I've been trying to tell you.
00:57:12Am I a joke to you?
00:57:14No.
00:57:15What 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.
00:57:24I can't trust you.
00:57:27You're lying to me.
00:57:29You're right.
00:57:30You're right.
00:57:34I have been hiding things from you.
00:57:39You know what I haven't told you yet?
00:57:42Another big secret.
00:57:45Are you sure you want to hear this?
00:57:52The other big secret is,
00:57:54the first time we met isn't what you think it is.
00:57:57It was five years ago.
00:57:59Five years ago?
00:58:01Yes.
00:58:03At a party.
00:58:05I was drunk and I fell in a pool.
00:58:09Okay.
00:58:16Oh, thank God you're alive.
00:58:22I was drowning and you saved my life.
00:58:25But you won't remember that.
00:58:28But I will forever be grateful for what you did for me that day.
00:58:32That...
00:58:34That was you?
00:58:35Yes.
00:58:36My father forbid me from seeing you.
00:58:38But I didn't care.
00:58:40I confronted him.
00:58:42You can't tell me what to do, Dad!
00:58:44You can't stop me from seeing her!
00:58:46I'm doing what's best for you, Daniel.
00:58:48That girl and all her family are nothing but trouble.
00:58:52And then he decided to tell me about everything he did to you and your mom.
00:58:56And I felt so guilty.
00:58:58It's okay.
00:59:02I was ashamed to approach you.
00:59:04I didn't know how to face you without making things worse.
00:59:06And I thought the best thing to do was just leave you alone.
00:59:10No, I know.
00:59:11And then I heard about you being deported and I just couldn't let that happen.
00:59:14Well...
00:59:17I saved you.
00:59:19And...
00:59:20You saved me.
00:59:23I guess we...
00:59:25Just 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.
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 sooner than later.
01:00:10Gianna just texted me.
01:00:12She said that I have my first weekly exec meeting this morning.
01:00:17I should postpone it.
01:00:18No.
01:00:19You should definitely go to that.
01:00:21You need to look good in front of your board.
01:00:22Really?
01:00:23Yeah.
01:00:24I'm gonna go pick your mom up from the airport and I'll bring her straight to the office.
01:00:27Thanks.
01:00:29You're the best.
01:00:34Well, that went better than I thought.
01:00:36Don't underestimate yourself, Jess.
01:00:38You did great.
01:00:43Heya, Jess.
01:00:45What are you doing here?
01:00:50What are you doing here?
01:00:52I just wanted to share with you some interesting facts about your dear husband, Daniel Thornton.
01:00:57Gianna, can you wait outside a moment?
01:01:03Okay.
01:01:04I'm telling you now.
01:01:06Whatever bad, made-up facts that you've come to tell me about Daniel is not gonna work.
01:01:11Because Daniel already told me everything.
01:01:14Everything?
01:01:15Are you so sure?
01:01:17Yeah.
01:01:18Him and his father came clean about everything.
01:01:20There is nothing more to hide.
01:01:22And did they also tell you Daniel was supposed to marry his childhood sweetheart?
01:01:25What?
01:01:26Ashley Wimbledon.
01:01:28Heiress to the famous Wimbledon family.
01:01:30Ring any bells?
01:01:32Ashley.
01:01:36Ashley.
01:01:38Who is Ashley?
01:01:40I heard you guys talking about her earlier.
01:01:42Oh, she's just an old childhood friend.
01:01:47They grew up and went to law school together.
01:01:49Oh.
01:01:50And she had Daniel's first kiss.
01:01:56He did mention Ashley.
01:02:02He did?
01:02:03Yeah, but he's not gonna marry her.
01:02:05I remember that conversation.
01:02:10Daniel's picking my mother up from the airport himself.
01:02:13I'll be seeing her soon.
01:02:16What are you laughing about?
01:02:19Daniel wants to bring her back, babe.
01:02:22You're not gonna see her.
01:02:27After years of separation with your mother,
01:02:30Daniel didn't let you go along with him to meet with her?
01:02:33And what kind of a husband does that?
01:02:35I had an early meeting this morning and Daniel didn't want me to worry.
01:02:39So easily manipulated, Jess.
01:02:43Just like old times.
01:02:45I don't believe a word you say.
01:02:48Daniel isn't gonna bring her back.
01:02:51Care to find out together?
01:03:01Are you sure everything is taken care of?
01:03:03Yes.
01:03:04You're free to live in this country.
01:03:06Clara, I also want to apologize for everything you went through years ago.
01:03:11Clara, I also want to apologize for everything you went through years ago.
01:03:15I'm deeply sorry.
01:03:16Well, you did bring me back here.
01:03:18Right now I just want to see my daughter.
01:03:21We'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.
01:03:32Oh, I don't think so.
01:03:34Agents do your thing.
01:03:35Wait.
01:03:36What?
01:03:37This is a mistake.
01:03:38No.
01:03:39She has systems.
01:03:40She can stay.
01:03:41Sweetheart, you really think those little documents can stop this?
01:03:44I don't think so.
01:03:46Back off, Lisa.
01:03:47Watch it, pretty boy.
01:03:48Jess.
01:03:49Jess!
01:03:50Mom!
01:03:51Mom!
01:03:52What are you doing?
01:03:53Where are they taking my mother?
01:03:54Mom, I will bring her back.
01:03:55I promise.
01:03:56Just stay strong.
01:03:57Sis, it looks like you've been screwed by the Thortons again.
01:04:00Adrienne, you sabotaged this.
01:04:03You'll pay for this.
01:04:04See, babe?
01:04:05I told you he's not bringing her back.
01:04:07You said everything was taken care of.
01:04:09Jess, it's not me.
01:04:11It's them.
01:04:12You're lying, Daniel.
01:04:13Why don't you ask him about that thing we talked about?
01:04:15Jess.
01:04:18Jess.
01:04:19He said that you were going to marry Ashley.
01:04:21Okay, so it's true.
01:04:23Jess, can we just talk about this?
01:04:26No.
01:04:27No, no, no, no.
01:04:28Thing is, Daniel, you promised me no more secrets.
01:04:31I can't trust you anymore.
01:04:33Jess!
01:04:34It's just...
01:04:35Looks like you lost, Daniel.
01:04:37You're never getting her back.
01:05:00Thank God you're alive.
01:05:06Huh?
01:05:28Dad, what's the problem with Clara?
01:05:30Her paperwork was for us.
01:05:31You're right, boss.
01:05:32I checked with customers in the USCIS.
01:05:34Let me confirm that she legally entered the country and could.
01:05:38That is enough.
01:05:42Agents, do your thing.
01:05:44Wait.
01:05:45What?
01:05:46This is a mistake.
01:05:47No.
01:05:48Jess.
01:05:49Jess, baby!
01:05:50Mom!
01:05:53The ICE agents weren't real.
01:05:55They were hired by Adrian and Lisa to kidnap Clara.
01:05:58Hold on a sec.
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 gonna 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.
01:06:33You disgust me.
01:06:40Jess, we need to talk.
01:06:42I don't want to talk to you.
01:06:43It's about your mom.
01:06:44I think she was kidnapped by Adrian and Lisa's people.
01:06:46The ICE agents weren't real.
01:06:49What are you talking about?
01:06:51I spoke to Ted.
01:06:52He told me that Clara 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-
01:07:28Jess.
01:07:29Don't follow me.
01:07:30I will not let you do this alone.
01:07:38Mom?
01:07:39Bastard child, over here.
01:07:42Let her go.
01:07:43This has gone on far enough.
01:07:45Not so fast, sis.
01:07:47This is only the beginning.
01:07:52You sign this,
01:07:55we let her go.
01:07:57And what is it?
01:07:59An agreement signing everything over to us.
01:08:01The house,
01:08:03the company,
01:08:05everything.
01:08:13It's signed?
01:08:16No, let her go.
01:08:17God, 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.
01:08:48Now bark like a dog.
01:08:54Come on.
01:08:59That's enough, Kristen.
01:09:04We're getting out of here, Monk.
01:09:12Let's get her out of here.
01:09:14Come on, let's go.
01:09:16Goddamn!
01:09:20I can't.
01:09:21Monk, we need to finish this.
01:09:23Monk, we gotta go.
01:09:24Come on.
01:09:26Daniel!
01:09:31Jess.
01:09:34Don't try and talk to the police.
01:09:36They're on their way.
01:09:37Jess,
01:09:39I'm so sorry.
01:09:40Why are you apologizing?
01:09:42Just don't move.
01:09:52Well, the 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?
01:10:05You saved my mom. You saved us.
01:10:10Hello again, Mr. Thornton.
01:10:12Officer, you're here.
01:10:14Yes.
01:10:15You promised me last week we'd get that interview done.
01:10:19Officer, my husband is injured.
01:10:23He's literally lying in bed.
01:10:25Well, that doesn't change the requirements.
01:10:28Jess, it's okay.
01:10:31We can do the interview.
01:10:36We can do the interview.
01:10:39Are you insane?
01:10:41We haven't rehearsed this.
01:10:43Jess,
01:10:44when you see
01:10:46that we've been rehearsing this whole Christmas,
01:10:48there's no better time to do this.
01:10:50You're right.
01:10:54We're ready, officer.
01:10:56Let's start with the question I asked you last week.
01:10:59When did you two first meet?
01:11:01Five years and four months ago.
01:11:03I don't understand.
01:11:05Last time you said it was six months ago
01:11:08when the other one said it was eight months ago.
01:11:10We lied, officer.
01:11:12But it was five years ago
01:11:14at a pool party.
01:11:16And we had our first kiss when we first met.
01:11:21It sounds pretty far-fetched.
01:11:23But for some reason,
01:11:25I want to give you two the benefit of the doubt.
01:11:30It sounds pretty far-fetched.
01:11:33But for some reason,
01:11:35I want to give you two the benefit of the doubt.
01:11:38Daniel risked his life to save me and my mother.
01:11:41There's nothing more he needs to do
01:11:43to prove his love for me.
01:11:45One last question.
01:11:47How frequently have you two spent the night together
01:11:49in the past week?
01:11:57Relax.
01:11:58I can tell it's been at least three times.
01:12:01Right, well, that's my interview done.
01:12:04You two are quite the couple.
01:12:06Thank you, officer.
01:12:08Daniel.
01:12:09Daniel.
01:12:10She's coming.
01:12:11Who's coming?
01:12:19Your fiancé.
01:12:20That's who.
01:12:26Your fiancé.
01:12:27That's who.
01:12:29Ashley.
01:12:30I guess I'm not done yet.
01:12:32You betrayed my family's trust, Daniel.
01:12:36Ashley.
01:12:37Please.
01:12:38Can't we talk about this?
01:12:40So you're Jessica Miller, huh?
01:12:43Adrian's told me all about you.
01:12:45I don't know what Adrian told you,
01:12:48but it's not what you think.
01:12:50Daniel was supposed to marry me,
01:12:53and then you just waltzed in and ruined everything.
01:12:57Ashley.
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.
01:13:10I'm the heiress of the Wimbledon family.
01:13:13The Thornton name is as good as ruined.
01:13:18You can't do that, Ashley.
01:13:24Watch me.
01:13:29You're not the only heiress here.
01:13:33Shh.
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.
01:13:57I gotta tell you, I didn't expect that.
01:14:00This is so much better than watching TV.
01:14:02Glad to see you've replaced me with someone with a little fire, Daniel.
01:14:11I always knew Daniel didn't love me,
01:14:14but he was too afraid of his father
01:14:17to ever go after his true love.
01:14:19But I guess I'm happy
01:14:23that 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 can see that coming.
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?
01:15:10She 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?
01:15:22What plan?
01:15:23Everything's falling apart.
01:15:35What did you do, Adrian?
01:15:37Well, me, myself, I've done nothing illegal.
01:15:40You two, on the other hand, that's a different story.
01:15:44You set us up!
01:15:46I'm just ensuring my own safety.
01:15:49After all, I kept my hands clean.
01:15:57You're not going to get away with this, asshole!
01:16:00I already have.
01:16:08I remember when this place was filled with warmth and laughter.
01:16:12It used to be a real family home back then.
01:16:16Then things just went south.
01:16:18Things will be fine again, Mom, I promise.
01:16:21We'll turn this into a good family house.
01:16:23No more hatred.
01:16:25No more backstabbing.
01:16:27I 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.
01:16:40I am so sorry for everything that I've done to you both.
01:16:44I was wrong.
01:16:45And I know I can never fully make up for it.
01:16:49But I want to try.
01:16:50James, you kept us apart for so many years.
01:16:53It's going to be hard to forgive and forget.
01:16:56I know, Clara.
01:17:00Jess, are you alright?
01:17:04Yeah, I know, I'm... I'm fine.
01:17:07You know, I just feel so nauseous, that's all.
01:17:13Have 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.
01:17:28Really?
01:17:29You're showing all the signs, Jess.
01:17:33We're going to have a baby!
01:17:36Wait, that means I'm going to be a grandpa!
01:17:41Yeah!
01:17:49Daniel.
01:17:52There's something you need to do.
01:17:56What's this?
01:17:57This is a ring your grandma left.
01:18:01And I think this is the perfect time to use it.
01:18:05Go get it.
01:18:06I'm going to do this?
01:18:07Yeah, go.
01:18:10Aww.
01:18:18Jess.
01:18:19Jess!
01:18:23Jess, I know we've only ever spent time together a week during Christmas.
01:18:27And we've been through so much in that time.
01:18:30And 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.
01:18:47Will you marry me?
01:18:50For real this time.
01:18:52Yes, Daniel, yes I will marry you!
01:18:55Yes!
01:18:56Really?
01:18:57Yes!
01:19:07Yes!
01:19:12Daniel.
