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

00:27:27from the board
00:27:28to be chosen
00:27:29as the next CEO.

00:27:34I will call Richard.
00:27:35Everyone respects
00:27:36Richard's vote
00:27:37and I will make sure
00:27:38he doesn't vote for her.
00:27:40And I'll dig up
00:27:41all the dirt
00:27:42I can find on her.
00:27:43You go girl.

00:28:52Absolutely.
00:28:53Great choice.
00:28:55We'll take this one.
00:28:57Something in your mind?
00:29:00Well, it's probably nothing
00:29:01but it's just
00:29:02that clerk
00:29:03seemed very
00:29:04fond of you.
00:29:05Oh, uh,
00:29:07being friendly

00:29:16how you got your lawyer,

01:10:11in bed well that doesn't change the requirements just it's okay we can do
01:10:18the interview
01:10:23we can do the interview
01:10:26are you insane we haven't rehearsed this

01:10:36time to do this you're right
01:10:41we're ready officer let's start with the question I asked you last week when did
01:10:46you two first meet five years and four months ago I don't understand last time
01:10:52you said it was six months ago and the other one said it was eight months ago
01:10:56we lied officer but it was five years ago at a pool party and we had our first
01:11:03kiss when we first met
01:11:07it sounds pretty far-fetched but for some reason I want to give you to the
01:11:13benefit of the doubt it sounds pretty far-fetched but for some reason I want to
01:11:22give you to the benefit of the doubt Daniel risked his life to save me and my
01:11:28mother there's nothing more he needs to do to prove his love for me one last
01:11:32one last question how frequently have you two spent the night together in the
01:11:37past week relax I can tell it's been at least three times right well that's my
01:11:49interview done you two are quite the couple
01:11:53thank you officer
01:11:56Daniel she's coming who's coming
01:12:06your fiance that's who
01:12:12your fiance that's who Ashley I guess I'm not done yet you betrayed my family's
01:12:21trust Daniel Ashley please can't we talk about this so you're Jessica Miller
01:12:28hmm Adrian's told me all about you I don't know what Adrian told you but it's
01:12:35not what you think Daniel was supposed to marry me and then you just waltzed in
01:12:42and ruined everything Ashley our engagement was long over before Jessica
01:12:47came to the picture oh I see you think this is over I'm the heiress of the
01:12:58Wimbledon family the Thornton name is as good as ruined you can't do that
01:13:06Ashley watch me you're not the only heiress here I own Miller Empire and if
01:13:25you come for the Thorntons the Miller Empire is gonna come for you so hard
01:13:36you've got guts Jessica I like you I gotta tell you I didn't expect that
01:13:46this is so much better than watching TV glad to see you've replaced me with
01:13:50someone with a little fire Daniel I always knew Daniel didn't love me but he
01:14:00was too afraid of his father to ever go after his true love but I guess I'm
01:14:07happy that he's found someone who wants the same things as him so that's it
01:14:19that's it enjoy your happy ending darling
01:14:29Andrea bring the car around
01:14:34did that actually just happen yeah Wow you two really don't let anyone or
01:14:42anything get in the way of true love you see that this is all your fault mom
01:14:50if you wouldn't have been so reckless and maybe we wouldn't be in this mess
01:14:52don't put all the blame on me you're just as much a part of this as I am
01:14:56where is Ashley miss me where have you been just tying up a few loose ends
01:15:04don't worry about it everything's going according to plan plan what plan
01:15:09everything's falling apart
01:15:21what did you do Adrian well me myself I've done nothing illegal you two on the
01:15:27other hand that's a different story you set us up I'm just ensuring my own
01:15:33safety after all I kept my hands clean
01:15:42oh you're not gonna get away with this asshole I already have
01:15:54I remember when this place was filled with warmth and laughter used to be a
01:15:59real family home back then then things just went south things will be fine
