Short filmTranscript
00:00:30I know I've seen this before in the magazine, it looks like one of those um,
00:01:00it's one of those family watches. Is it real?
00:01:07No, it's fake.
00:01:14Cheers, maybe four surprises.
00:01:17Ho ho ho, I have a gift for you. Jessica, you have inherited this mansion,
00:01:23along with your father's business empire and assets worth over a billion dollars.
00:01:28I just need a signature from you. Oh, and a hundred and five million dollars in cash.
00:01:37We're rich! Let me hold onto it for you, baby.
00:01:41You know, my whole life I grew up in foster care, moving from place to place and
00:01:49now I finally have a place that I can call home.
00:01:53It's real great to win the jackpot. No, my only wish is to reunite with my mother.
00:01:59You bastard child, you will never reunite with your mother. We made sure that that whore
00:02:05is gone forever. My mother is gone because of you? Well, we had a little help from James Thornton,
00:02:12the most powerful man in the Thornton family. Time for you to go back to your poor little
00:02:17country, sis. Yes, ma'am. USCIS. Your visa expired years ago. You're being deported. What? No,
00:02:24there must must be some mistake. Adrian, didn't you help me file my immigration paperwork?
00:02:30Whoops, I guess I screwed up. What? Hey, baby. Adrian, are you cheating on me with her?
00:02:41Choose the right side, babe. You'll never win against them. It's true. Um, according to the
00:02:46terms of the will, non-citizens are not eligible to inherit the estate. Everything will pass through
00:02:53your next of kin, Lisa and Kristen Miller. You thought you could get rich overnight?
00:02:59Keep dreaming. Seriously? Bon voyage, have sis.
00:03:11The boss is urgent. They're about to deport a woman named Jessica Miller.
00:03:16Jessica Miller? It's her.
00:03:28Oh, thank God you're alive. She's so beautiful and kind. The girl I've always dreamed of.
00:03:34She saved my life once. I owe her.
00:03:36Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. Jessica? Do I know you? She doesn't remember me.
00:03:51I'm Daniel. You're a lawyer. Just pretend we know each other. I can get you out of here.
00:03:56We've spoken to the judge and Miss Miller should be released immediately.
00:04:00Wait, we can't deport her. She is about to marry a U.S. citizen.
00:04:07Who's the lucky guy? I am. I marry her.
00:04:16A fake marriage won't save her. Our marriage is real. Yeah, 100% real. Prove it then.
00:04:30That's it? You call that a kiss?
00:04:44Need more proof, officer? Look, this guy is a lawyer to some of the most important families
00:04:49in town. And if you don't let her go, they'll make sure you lose your damn job.
00:04:54Fine, you can have her. Thank you, officer.
00:04:59Guys, I think we're good. It's not over.
00:05:08We'll be checking your marital status and conducting interviews. And there are a few
00:05:12very specific requirements you should know. Make sure you two are staying in the same house
00:05:17and sleeping in the same bed or it's game over.
00:05:21Well, thank you for the rescue.
00:05:28Oh, it's no problem. But, um, Daniel, would you, would you marry me?
00:05:38Oh, Jessica, I've waited for this moment for five years.
00:05:41I mean, it would only be a contract marriage, but once I get my green card, I'll inherit my
00:05:48father's business empire and I'll share half of it with you.
00:05:53Even your misunderstanding looks so cute. I only want you, Jessica.
00:05:57But before I get my green card, you're going to have to help me deal with my stepsister
00:06:03and her mom. They're trying to get rid of me and they've already stolen my fortune and
00:06:09they made my mother disappear. Deal.
00:06:15What? That's it?
00:06:19This literally stands for loyalties and new beginnings, something that I want with you.
00:06:26Now, I know it's rushed, but I promise you, I will buy you a proper ring soon.
00:06:44From now on, let's make every Christmas our own and fill it with memories.
00:07:01You, you can't do this. Jess, it's okay. Just wait here. I'll handle it.
00:07:06What? Why are you helping that girl? Kristen Miller is our ally and she wants her the hell
00:07:18out of this picture. Too late, dad. We already got married. Are you insane? Did you forget
00:07:24you're supposed to marry Ashley? Daniel Thornton. My mother is gone because of you?
00:07:34Well, we had a little help from James Thornton, the most powerful man in the Thornton family.
00:07:41Wait, I recognize your face from the newspaper. That was James Thornton from the Thornton family,
00:07:48the family responsible for my mother's disappearance.
00:07:55Stop telling me what I can and cannot do. She saved my life. I owe it to her.
00:07:59Roll the hell up, Daniel. You need to remember your position as the heir to our family and you
00:08:05need to divorce that girl now. I'm doing this to clean your mess up. Just leave us alone.
00:08:20Sorry about that. Is your name Daniel Thornton? Yeah.
00:08:26The Thornton family are responsible for the disappearance of my mother. I have been searching
00:08:33for her my entire life. Jess, I can explain. I'm not married. Wait, wait, wait, Jess, Jess.
00:08:42I'm not who you think I am. I have nothing to do with that family. Oh, really? Because your name
00:08:46is right here on the marriage certificate. I share the last name as Thornton, but I am not
00:08:53one of them. Thornton is a common name, just an ordinary guy. Really? Well,
00:08:57I don't believe you. I saw you talking to James Thornton. Is he your father?
00:09:05Is he your father? No, he's not my father. He was threatening to drive you out of the country
00:09:09and I was not going to have anything to do with it. Jess, I'm on your side. You're not
00:09:15one of them. I'm sorry. It's okay. Don't worry about it.
00:09:26Well, you have a nice apartment. Welcome.
00:09:32Is that your Labrador? It looks exactly like mine. I got mine as a Christmas present when I was nine.
00:09:37No way. I got mine as a Christmas present when I was nine. That's crazy.
00:09:45Jess, we're going to have to sleep in the same room together just in case immigration ambush us.
00:09:50Yeah, but are you sure you're okay sleeping on the carpet? I mean, you've done so much for me
00:09:56already and I just... Jess, please, I insist. We made a deal, remember? I also want to thank you
00:10:03for giving me the chance to get rich. It's okay, Daniel.
00:10:14She's fine, aren't you? No, no, no, no. I was just about to say that.
00:10:43No, no, no, no. I was just passing by and just... Do you need anything?
00:10:50I was joking. Yeah, could you pass me the towel? It's just hanging up next to the door.
00:10:57Yeah, sure.
00:10:58Sure.
00:11:13Oh, my God. What? I just got fired.
00:11:18Uh, wait, Jess, let me go with you.
00:11:28Sam, please, don't fire me. I'm sorry, Jess, but your immigration
00:11:41issue put us in a tough spot. I worked for this company for years.
00:11:46I'm sorry, Jess. There's nothing I can do. Sorry.
00:11:52Look who's here. Someone who just got fired. This suits you.
00:12:02It was you. I should have known you were behind this.
00:12:06I'm not going to let you stay here and ruin things. I'm going to take away everything you have,
00:12:11sister. You just made a big mistake, sir.
00:12:18Who are you? My name is Daniel Thornton, son of James
00:12:25Thornton, the chairman of Thornton Enterprise. Oh, Mr. Thornton, welcome.
00:12:35What brings you here? Well, I have some good news for you.
00:12:41Jessica Miller, she's just closed a billion-dollar deal. Take a look.
00:12:48Oh, my God. It's real.
00:13:04Absolutely. With her hard work and dedication, she's made this possible.
00:13:09It's a real shame you're going to lose such a valuable employee.
00:13:13Oh, Mr. Thornton, I have made a huge mistake. Jessica will stay.
00:13:23Good. And make sure nobody knows we had this conversation.
00:13:33Jessica, you should have told me.
00:13:37What are you talking about, Sam? Jessica, you secured a huge deal
00:13:44for the company. Thank you.
00:13:47Did you not just fire her? I changed my mind.
00:13:51Jessica's staying. Actually, she's being promoted to sales manager.
00:13:58Can't afford to lose someone as valuable as like her.
00:14:01Great. Thanks, Sam. This is not over.
00:14:10I can't believe it. Jessica kept her job, and she gets promoted.
00:14:15Don't worry, Lisa. I just spoke with James Thornton,
00:14:18and he had the lawyer change the will in our favor. Jessica will get nothing.
00:14:23Oh, my God. That's fantastic.
00:14:30No way. Jessica, how's work?
00:14:47Did you get your job back? Daniel, I need a lawyer.
00:14:52Well, look who decided to show up. Too bad for you, Jess. Turns out Daddy's
00:14:58will left you nothing. I knew all along Robert wouldn't leave
00:15:03anything for this little pathetic bastard child. You are out of luck.
00:15:10Well, that's a lie. You showed me the will, and I signed the
00:15:14documents. I'm sorry, I didn't mean to.
00:15:20I'm sorry, Jessica. I've just discovered a revised will that
00:15:25supports Kristen and Lisa's claims. Who is this?
00:15:32He's my lawyer, and a damn good one. Oh. You know, Jess, I didn't realize you
00:15:38had enough money to pay for a fancy little lawyer. You sleep with him?
00:15:44Patrick, can I have a word with you outside? Talk all you want. It won't change
00:15:49anything. All right, Patrick, I'm gonna keep this
00:16:00short. I know you changed the will to favor
00:16:02Kristen and Lisa. I know what you're talking about, Mr.
00:16:05Thornton. The revised will's solid. Ted found an email exchange with my father.
00:16:11Here, take a look. You've been caught, Patrick.
00:16:15Honor of the will, I'll report you to the Bar Association.
00:16:18You'll lose your license and any chance of practicing law or gain.
00:16:21That goes against your father's wishes. You don't understand the position he put
00:16:25me in. I'll deal with my father. Don't you worry
00:16:27about that. You just worry about doing the right
00:16:31thing.
00:16:36Um, this revised will is a fake. The original will's stamped.
00:16:40What the hell are you doing? He's doing the right thing.
00:16:46Jessica, you've got your inheritance back.
00:16:48Congratulations. Oh my god. Patrick,
00:16:54do what you are supposed to do or James will make sure you face the consequences.
00:17:02Don't listen to her, Patrick. I'll deal with James Thornton.
00:17:05Who the hell do you think you are? James Thornton is one of the most powerful
00:17:10men in this town. I sure can. Isn't that right, Patrick?
00:17:15Yes. The original will stands. No, you are crazy. No, I'm not. According to the
00:17:21original will, Jessica stands to inherit this mansion.
00:17:25Kristen, you're out. I think you two should leave.
00:17:29You homewrecker. Just like your mother. I will not allow violence.
00:17:36I didn't come here to argue over a house and assets. I came here to be
00:17:42recognized as an actual member of this family. Yeah, well it's easy for you to say
00:17:46you're getting everything. You don't know how lucky you are, Lisa.
00:17:49You grew up with a father who loved you. I had none.
00:17:53And you took my mother away from me and I still
00:17:57don't know where she is. You two don't deserve this mansion
00:18:01and I would rather give it away to charity
00:18:05than to see the two of you living it.
00:18:13You two should pack your things up. You have one week to leave this house.
00:18:26What the hell were you thinking? Sabotaging my plan?
00:18:29I was just doing the right thing. The right thing?
00:18:33Going against me? Kristen Miller has got no power anymore.
00:18:37Her game is over. I'm sure you didn't come all this way just to argue with me.
00:18:42So what do you want? I just want Jessica to get her mom back.
00:18:49Interesting.
00:18:53What's in it for me? Once Jessica gets her mom back
00:18:57I'll do whatever you want. Whatever I want?
00:19:01Like what exactly? I'll marry Ashley. You'll marry Ashley?
00:19:08Yeah. You're willing to do that? Yeah, I am.
00:19:14But only if she's reunited with her mother.
00:19:18Okay, deal. I'll make the arrangements. So you're really in love with this one,
00:19:24huh? Yeah, I am.
00:19:28Okay, good. I sure hope she's working.
00:19:33She isn't.
00:19:36Oh, what's wrong? We have a guest.
00:19:43Mr. Thornton, good to see you again. Interview time. Great.
00:19:51When did you two meet? Uh, we met at a friend's party two years ago.
00:19:57What do you say, Jessica? Oh, yeah, yeah.
00:20:03Interesting. And when did you decide to get married?
00:20:07Eight months ago. Six months or eight months? Which one is it?
00:20:12Yeah, eight months ago. Sorry, I just... Sorry, I'm always
00:20:15getting mixed up. Sure. Easy mistake to make. And what's your
00:20:21anniversary date? March 15th. March 15th?
00:20:27All right. Thank you.
00:20:31Uh, that's it? Yes, Mr. Thornton. I have everything I need. I'll report
00:20:37back to the judges.
00:20:41Oh, wait. Uh, this.
00:20:46How did we do in there?
00:20:50It was pretty bad. Look,
00:20:56I'm the son of James Thornton. I know who you are.
00:21:01Okay.
00:21:04You want to bribe me? Yes. I can't be bribed. Here's one million
00:21:10dollars.
00:21:15Two million dollars. Right.
00:21:20Three million dollars. It's tempting, but like I said, you
00:21:26can't bribe me. Please. Can you just give us one more week to
00:21:30prepare? I really want to be with this woman. She
00:21:34means the world to me. She saved my life. I'm not gonna take your money, but I'll
00:21:38give you one week. Make it count. Thank you. Next time, I want to see some
00:21:43genuine affection between you two. If anything seems a bit off, your game's
00:21:47up. Of course. And one more thing.
00:21:52I can tell you two haven't had sex yet. I'm that good, Mr. Daniel. Don't try and
00:21:58fool me.
00:22:04She gave us another chance. Oh, my god. We have one week
00:22:08to get our story straight. Thank you, Daniel. You've been very,
00:22:14very helpful today.
00:22:31Now, I wanted to make our first Christmas special,
00:22:35so I did a little digging and I found this.
00:22:39This tree is amazing.
00:22:45What happened?
00:22:49Let me have a look.
00:23:15Um, I have a festive gift for you two.
00:23:30Wow, Jess, you look gorgeous.
00:23:38And then, I told him that's not how you negotiate.
00:23:44You did it.
00:24:07This could be wrong. Maybe. Maybe not.
00:24:38So, that is how you negotiate?
00:24:52You're not even there.
00:25:07Stop. Hold on, I got this.
00:25:37Okay.
00:26:08That watch looks familiar.
00:26:12No, I've seen this before in the, uh, in a magazine.
00:26:16That looks like one of those, um,
00:26:20Fontaine Family watches. Is it real?
00:26:26No, it's fake.
00:26:30You wear a fake watch? Yeah.
00:26:44I'm so happy, Jess.
00:26:50There's also something I need to tell you about your mom.
00:26:55What?
00:27:11Oh my god, did I just sleep with Daniel last night?
00:27:15I told him it would only be a contract marriage.
00:27:25Morning.
00:27:27This is the most beautiful morning that I've ever had.
00:27:29Daniel, I'm so sorry about last night. It wasn't supposed to happen and I promise it will never happen again.
00:27:41She didn't mean it.
00:27:43Oh, Jessica, last night was amazing.
00:27:47Uh, yeah, Jess, uh, I get it.
00:27:53It was, uh, it was a one-time thing.
00:27:57Yeah, just like, just a one-time thing.
00:28:01Yeah.
00:28:03Anyway, it's, uh, your big day today.
00:28:07You're the new CEO of the Miller Empire.
00:28:11Thank you for the reminder.
00:28:15Now that you mention it, I'm really scared.
00:28:20No, Jess, I didn't mean it like that.
00:28:24What I was meant to say is, I'm gonna help you.
00:28:34I don't know what to do, Mother. That bitch is kicking us out.
00:28:36We still have a chance.
00:28:38That bastard child needs a unanimous vote from the board to be chosen as the next CEO.
00:28:44So we just need a board member to back this up.
00:28:48Everyone respects Richard's vote and I will make sure he doesn't vote for her.
00:28:53And I'll dig up all the dirt I can find on her.
00:28:55You go, girl.
00:29:07These clothes are beautiful, but, uh, very expensive.
00:29:16Take this one. That is $9,000.
00:29:20Jess, don't worry about it. It's on me.
00:29:24Look at it as, uh, my first gift to my wife.
00:29:28No, Daniel, I can't let you pay for this.
00:29:30Look, Jess, you're gonna be a CEO, which means you've gotta look the part.
00:29:35Trust me. It's an investment.
00:29:39Mr. Thornton, welcome back. How can I assist you today?
00:29:43You come here a lot?
00:29:45Well, of course. Mr. Thornton owns this store.
00:29:47Uh, Jess, why don't you try this one on?
00:29:51You'll look great in it.
00:29:56Wow, Jess, you look amazing.
00:30:00You think so?
00:30:02Yeah.
00:30:04This is exactly what a CEO would wear.
00:30:06Absolutely. Great choice.
00:30:09We'll take this one.
00:30:11Something on your mind?
00:30:14Well, it's probably nothing, but it's just that clerk seemed very fond of you.
00:30:20Oh, uh, being friendly is a part of my job.
00:30:24Okay.
00:30:31So that's how you got your lawyer, huh?
00:30:35Now that you mention it, maybe she was a little friendly.
00:30:39But we got a discount.
00:30:42Show off.
00:30:51What a slut.
00:30:56Trust me, Jess. You can do this.
00:30:58Yeah, but what if they don't accept me?
00:31:00They will. Trust me.
00:31:02Just speak from the heart and show your true self.
00:31:06Look at you two little lovebirds.
00:31:11Pathetic.
00:31:14Ted, we can talk about this later.
00:31:17Okay.
00:31:19You go in. I'll meet you in there soon, okay?
00:31:28Good luck in there, sis.
00:31:31You're gonna need it.
00:31:33You don't have any votes.
00:31:36I know my background doesn't seem very typical of a CEO,
00:31:41but I built myself from the bottom up here.
00:31:44Miller Corporation is a leader in tech and services,
00:31:50reaching industries from healthcare to energy.
00:31:54We have over 10,000 employees worldwide
00:31:59who have worked hard to build this company from the ground up,
00:32:02and I was one of them.
00:32:04I know them, and I believe that I can help lead this company
00:32:08to become everyone's company.
00:32:11Let's proceed to the vote.
00:32:13All in favor?
00:32:18Robert lost his damn mind.
00:32:20He picked his secret child to be the CEO
00:32:23only because of his guilty conscience.
00:32:25Richard, if I may...
00:32:27I'm not done talking.
00:32:29You can't lead us, and you're not getting my vote.
00:32:34Richard, if I may speak...
00:32:36Go ahead, but I won't change my mind.
00:32:42Sorry for interrupting everyone,
00:32:44but I have something important to share with you all today.
00:32:46Who the hell are you?
00:32:48Well, Richard, I'm the person who's going to expose you.
00:32:51What did you just say?
00:32:53How do I say this?
00:32:55Uh, you're a sex pervert.
00:32:58What?
00:33:01You see, everyone,
00:33:03this file contains multiple sexual harassment lawsuits
00:33:08against Richard over the past 30 years.
00:33:12Some of them also have ongoing lawsuits.
00:33:15They're all just allegations, and I've all been settled.
00:33:18I'm innocent.
00:33:19We've also got in contact with some of the victims,
00:33:21and they're willing to come forward and testify.
00:33:23Actually, I have not finished yet.
00:33:25You're also stealing money from the company,
00:33:28and we have the financial records to help you.
00:33:36The evidence is clear.
00:33:38He's guilty.
00:33:40Okay, then.
00:33:42Let's all vote for Richard Donald's immediate suspension.
00:33:45All in favor?
00:33:51We have 15 votes.
00:33:53The board has decided.
00:33:55Richard Donald is officially removed from his position.
00:33:58Security, escort him out immediately.
00:34:01I know my way.
00:34:07And all in favor of appointing Jessica Miller as the new CEO.
00:34:26Oh.
00:34:28I'm sorry I was late.
00:34:30I had to make sure I had enough evidence to mail.
00:34:32No, don't be sorry, Daniel.
00:34:34That was so worth the wait.
00:34:36Good.
00:34:38This is not over.
00:34:40You'll see.
00:34:41How's packing going, Lisa?
00:34:43You're about to be evicted soon.
00:34:45Bye-bye.
00:34:50She won again, that bitch.
00:34:52I know. It's so unfair.
00:34:54Do we have a guest?
00:34:56Lisa, honey, I've been trying to reach you.
00:34:59Why haven't you returned my calls?
00:35:01I've been busy.
00:35:03Busy.
00:35:04Dealing with Jessica.
00:35:06How did you know?
00:35:07Oh, I know.
00:35:08And I think I know how to help you take it down.
00:35:11Again.
00:35:12No use to me anymore, Adrian.
00:35:14I only needed you to help me get rid of Jessica.
00:35:18To the new CEO of the Miller Empire.
00:35:22Well, I couldn't have done it without you, Danny.
00:35:25I also have another Christmas surprise for you.
00:35:29Who are you calling?
00:35:33Is it?
00:35:34Yes, Jess.
00:35:35It's your mother, Clara.
00:35:37Oh, my God, Mom!
00:35:39Oh, Jessica, you're a grown woman now.
00:35:42The Miller family threatened to kill you, Jess.
00:35:45I had no option but to vanish.
00:35:49Oh, Mom, it's okay.
00:35:51It's okay.
00:35:52You didn't do anything wrong.
00:35:53I'll bring you back into the country, I promise.
00:35:57Daniel, how did you find her?
00:35:59I have a few powerful friends.
00:36:01They did me a favor.
00:36:03But I'll leave you two alone.
00:36:15Two more, please.
00:36:19Daniel.
00:36:21Adrian.
00:36:23Long time no see, buddy.
00:36:25Oh, my God, how long has it been?
00:36:27Ten years.
00:36:28Ten years!
00:36:29Oh, my God.
00:36:31The last time I must have seen you was at law school.
00:36:35Yep.
00:36:36Go Reds.
00:36:38Go Reds.
00:36:39What are you doing here?
00:36:42Just in town to run some errands.
00:36:44Just thought I'd come here for a quick bite.
00:36:46Nice, man, nice.
00:36:47I saw your date earlier.
00:36:49She looks pretty.
00:36:51Yeah, my wife.
00:36:52Your wife?
00:36:53Yeah, Jess.
00:36:54You're married?
00:36:55Yes.
00:36:56Yeah, you have to introduce me to her.
00:36:58Come on, let's go say hi.
00:37:00Come and say hello.
00:37:01It's good to see you, buddy.
00:37:02Good to see you, too, man.
00:37:03Jess, I wanted you to meet an old friend of mine.
00:37:06Adrian, this is Jess.
00:37:07Jess, this is Adrian.
00:37:09We went to law school together.
00:37:12I don't want to see him.
00:37:17I don't want to see him.
00:37:21You two know each other?
00:37:22Yes, Daniel.
00:37:24I was her first boyfriend.
00:37:29Come on, Jess.
00:37:30Don't you miss me?
00:37:32I don't want to see you anymore.
00:37:34You know you're still in love with me, Jess.
00:37:37No, I don't.
00:37:38You know you're still in love with me, Jess.
00:37:40No, I don't.
00:37:45I think you should leave, Adrian.
00:37:47Okay, Daniel?
00:37:48Relax.
00:37:49Now.
00:37:55I'm leaving.
00:38:00She knows she's lying.
00:38:03Boss, Adrian Westley now represents the Eastside Christian Brotherhood.
00:38:07They want him to test the will.
00:38:09I should have known.
00:38:11What else?
00:38:12Adrian also knew Snape, Jessica.
00:38:14Actually, he's the one who sabotaged Jessica's immigration paperwork.
00:38:19It caused all this trouble.
00:38:24That son of a bitch.
00:38:26We need to win this war.
00:38:28Do whatever it takes.
00:38:31Do whatever it takes.
00:38:40Daniel?
00:38:42Sorry.
00:38:43Did I wake you?
00:38:45No, can...
00:38:47Can you join me in bed, please?
00:38:53You sure?
00:38:56I just...
00:38:58I wanted to apologize for earlier.
00:39:01The restaurant.
00:39:05I got a bit carried away.
00:39:07Jess, you don't need to apologize.
00:39:10Adrian's an asshole.
00:39:12He's just trying to do it to get under your skin.
00:39:14I did care for Adrian once.
00:39:17But he just destroyed everything we had.
00:39:21I want you to know...
00:39:24That I'm here because of you.
00:39:28And you're the only one who I love.
00:39:33No one else.
00:39:46I love you too, Jess.
00:39:48And I'm not going anywhere.
00:39:53Good morning, husband.
00:39:55Morning, wife.
00:39:58Are you ready for your big day as the new CEO?
00:40:00If only you were with me.
00:40:32You're going to do great today.
00:40:41Jess?
00:40:43Here's your coffee.
00:40:48What's wrong?
00:40:49Oh, it's just, it's this job.
00:40:51It's so new to me.
00:40:53Okay, calm down.
00:40:55Remember, you're the CEO.
00:40:57Which means, you're the boss.
00:40:59Yeah, but I don't know how to be a boss.
00:41:03Hey, Jess.
00:41:05Look at you, sitting in the big chair now.
00:41:08Oh, I am so happy you're here.
00:41:14You must be Daniel.
00:41:16Jessica's been talking about you for days.
00:41:19I'm flattered.
00:41:21I really wish you could be here with me, G.
00:41:23It's exhausting.
00:41:25Oh, at least you have a job, Jess.
00:41:27I've been looking for work for the past two months.
00:41:30Jess?
00:41:33Do you like Jana being here?
00:41:37Of course.
00:41:39We've been besties since forever.
00:41:42Yeah, what kind of question is that?
00:41:44Well, why don't you use your CEO power
00:41:47and hire Deanna?
00:41:50Oh, I don't, I know what you mean.
00:41:52I don't understand.
00:41:54How would you like to come work for me?
00:42:00Of course.
00:42:02Okay, then.
00:42:04My first order as a CEO,
00:42:07Deanna,
00:42:09you are hired as my personal assistant.
00:42:13Oh my God, Jess, thank you so much.
00:42:16See?
00:42:18Being a boss is easy.
00:42:20You can do whatever you want.
00:42:28Oh my God.
00:42:30What's wrong?
00:42:32The company's stock prices are dropping like crazy.
00:42:35What is happening?
00:42:37This isn't good.
00:42:39The stock's getting down.
00:42:41Well, well, well.
00:42:43Looks like things aren't going so well.
00:42:45What did you do, Lisa?
00:42:47I asked Richard and some of the other investors
00:42:50to sell their stocks.
00:42:52The board members are not going to be happy
00:42:54about the stock prices, Jessica.
00:42:56What do you want?
00:42:57Resign as CEO
00:43:00or I will destroy this company.
00:43:02No way.
00:43:04Okay.
00:43:06Then I will destroy this company.
00:43:08Jessica, the board members are asking to meet with you.
00:43:11They're angry.
00:43:17What are you going to do, Jess?
00:43:19Okay, I'll meet with the board.
00:43:21Wait, Jess.
00:43:24Don't go. Take a seat.
00:43:26What is it?
00:43:28Lisa,
00:43:30are you sure the stock prices are going down?
00:43:32Because to me they seem to be going up and up.
00:43:36That's impossible.
00:43:37You would need at least a billion dollars.
00:43:40I guess anything is possible these days.
00:43:43God damn it!
00:43:45God, she's annoying.
00:43:51You must be my lucky star.
00:44:00Daniel.
00:44:03Gianna.
00:44:04I know who you are, Daniel.
00:44:06You're the son of James Thornton.
00:44:09How did you find out?
00:44:10My identity is meant to be a secret.
00:44:12I used to work for your father.
00:44:14Please don't tell Jess.
00:44:15I'll pay you. How much do you want?
00:44:17I don't want your money.
00:44:19I care for my friend.
00:44:21Actually, your father fired me because I tried to help Jessica.
00:44:25I'm sorry, Gianna.
00:44:27It's okay.
00:44:29I just want to know why.
00:44:31She hates my family.
00:44:33I have to lie to her.
00:44:35She hates your family, but she loves you.
00:44:39I can see that.
00:44:41You really think so?
00:44:43Yes.
00:44:44I love her, too.
00:44:46She's the best thing that's ever happened to me.
00:44:50That's good to hear.
00:44:52Please protect her.
00:45:01Daniel.
00:45:03It's my mom.
00:45:05Adrian threatened her.
00:45:11Adrian threatened my mom on the phone.
00:45:13He said he was going to block her from entering the country.
00:45:17What should we do?
00:45:19Jess, I don't want you to worry about it.
00:45:22I'm going to make sure your mom gets here safely.
00:45:34Ted.
00:45:36I need you to make sure Jessica's mom gets here safely.
00:45:39Book her on the first flight out tomorrow.
00:45:41Got it, boss.
00:45:43She'll be here in town the day after tomorrow.
00:45:45Good.
00:45:52Jess has been taken care of.
00:45:54Your mom's going to be here the day after tomorrow.
00:45:57You're going to be okay, right?
00:45:59Yes.
00:46:01I'll see you tomorrow.
00:46:03Thank you, Daniel.
00:46:06But I'm...
00:46:08I'm still scared.
00:46:10I just... I need a day off.
00:46:12I love the sound of that.
00:46:14What did you have in mind?
00:46:16I was thinking...
00:46:20I want to buy a house.
00:46:31So...
00:46:33Do you like this place?
00:46:35It's amazing.
00:46:37But, Jess, I appreciate the gesture.
00:46:40But you don't need to buy me a house.
00:46:43No, no.
00:46:45I insist.
00:46:47You've done so much to help me.
00:46:50Besides, we can live together here.
00:46:53Mr. Tom-Tom.
00:46:54Hi.
00:46:55Your father is here.
00:46:57Are you meeting him here?
00:47:02Well...
00:47:04I've never met your parents,
00:47:06so I'm pretty excited to meet an in-law.
00:47:11Oh, is...
00:47:13Is that him?
00:47:15Come on, let's go say hi.
00:47:17Jess, wait.
00:47:18Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
00:47:20Um...
00:47:23I might not have told my dad about you and our marriage.
00:47:26Why?
00:47:27Uh...
00:47:29Because he has a heart condition.
00:47:32I think it's best you stay here.
00:47:34Okay.
00:47:36I'll just...
00:47:38stay here, then.
00:47:41Good.
00:47:46Dad?
00:47:48What the hell?
00:47:50Jessica's here.
00:47:51She can't see her face.
00:47:52Don't take them off.
00:47:55I want to talk to you about Ashley, Daniel.
00:47:59Why hasn't Daniel told his father about me and our wedding?
00:48:03Ashley?
00:48:04Really?
00:48:05Not today.
00:48:08And what is this shirt you're wearing?
00:48:11Mother insisted I wear it in this charity event in New England.
00:48:15Right.
00:48:16Said it makes me look more grounded...
00:48:20and approachable.
00:48:23And don't go changing our subject.
00:48:25And don't go changing our subject.
00:48:27I want to discuss our agreement.
00:48:29I give you Clara, and you marry Ashley.
00:48:37Why does he look so... nervous?
00:48:40Am I not good enough?
00:48:44Do we have to talk about this right now?
00:48:47I held up my end of the bargain, Daniel.
00:48:49I want this deal done now.
00:48:52Actually, Clara isn't safe yet.
00:48:54Lisa Miller might try and sabotage everything.
00:48:57This is why you don't mess with the Miller family.
00:49:01You shouldn't have left it alone.
00:49:02All I'm asking is just a few more days.
00:49:05Ashley is coming to town in a few days.
00:49:08What?
00:49:10Jess.
00:49:11Jess.
00:49:21Dad, this is Jess.
00:49:23Jess, this is Dad.
00:49:25You can call him Jimmy.
00:49:27Jimmy?
00:49:31I'm Jimmy, sweetie.
00:49:32It's lovely to meet you, Jimmy.
00:49:34And can I just say, that is a lovely Hawaiian shirt.
00:49:38It really, really suits you.
00:49:40Well, thank you, Jessica.
00:49:42It's one I'm fond of.
00:49:46So, who is Ashley?
00:49:49I heard you guys talking about her earlier.
00:49:51Oh, she's just an old family friend.
00:49:56They grew up and went to law school together.
00:49:59Oh.
00:50:00And she had Daniel's first kiss.
00:50:03Oh.
00:50:05Her wedding is approaching soon, and I'd like Daniel to attend.
00:50:10Dad!
00:50:11I'm reminiscing about the good old days.
00:50:13No, it's fine, honestly.
00:50:15It's lovely to hear about Daniel's childhood and more about his life.
00:50:19You bastard child.
00:50:26Well, well.
00:50:27What do we have here?
00:50:30You think you can afford this place?
00:50:32You're about to lose this battle and be out on the streets soon.
00:50:37Who's this clown?
00:50:42Looks like he belongs in a circus.
00:50:44How dare you, Kristen!
00:50:46How do you know my name?
00:50:48And don't you dare call me by my first name.
00:50:50That's enough!
00:50:53Don't talk to my father like that.
00:50:59He's your father.
00:51:01How does it feel to be a father of such a loser?
00:51:05Don't talk to my family like that.
00:51:08Your family?
00:51:09Your family suck, Jessica.
00:51:12Especially your mother.
00:51:14The home-wrecking tramp.
00:51:17A whore.
00:51:26Your family suck, Jessica.
00:51:29Especially your mother.
00:51:31The home-wrecking tramp.
00:51:34A whore.
00:51:36Damn!
00:51:41How dare you slap me?
00:51:44That is enough, Kristen.
00:51:47You're not going to lay a hand on what we want.
00:51:53Ladies, you need to leave now.
00:51:55You can't throw us out. We're buyers.
00:51:57We're not going anywhere.
00:51:58The owner of this property has banned you from coming here.
00:52:01You need to leave now or I will call security.
00:52:06You will regret this.
00:52:10I've heard that a thousand times.
00:52:13Now leave.
00:52:24Thank you, Jessica.
00:52:26You stood up for me.
00:52:28Well, we're family, Jimmy.
00:52:30It's what I'm supposed to do.
00:52:35Well, I appreciate it.
00:52:38You're a nice girl.
00:52:40You found a good wife, Sam.
00:52:44Dad, about Ashley's wedding.
00:52:47I don't think I'm going to be able to make it.
00:52:49I'll look into it. I'll speak to her about it.
00:52:52Oh, no, no, no, no.
00:52:54Daniel can still attend. It's not a problem.
00:52:57Jess, I just want to focus on you and I.
00:53:00I'm not the jealous type.
00:53:02Plus, I don't want you to miss your first crush's wedding.
00:53:07Well, you decide, Daniel.
00:53:09Oh, there's a lawn party.
00:53:11You two want to come? It's in three hours.
00:53:15Yeah. Dad, we'll go.
00:53:18Great. I'll see you there.
00:53:32Well, this place is extremely high class.
00:53:36Well, my dad has a few rich friends.
00:53:43And James Thornton is here.
00:53:47I know you don't want to see him.
00:53:49But Jess, my dad's here. He's going to join us later.
00:53:53Okay.
00:53:55The bidding's about to start.
00:54:01Oh, the bitch is here!
00:54:03I know. Don't worry, we can teach him a lesson.
00:54:06Yeah, how?
00:54:07Let's see if Daniel can handle a little humiliation.
00:54:12With money.
00:54:13Here with money? What money? I haven't gotten my inheritance back yet.
00:54:16Yeah, I know. Your mother spoke to Richard.
00:54:18He said he's willing to donate us some cash if we make Jessica look ugly.
00:54:25You're the best.
00:54:28I know.
00:54:34Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to this evening's auction.
00:54:37We have for you The Last Dance.
00:54:40Bid starts at one million dollars.
00:54:46One million dollars!
00:54:50Two million dollars, right here.
00:54:55Three million dollars!
00:54:59Four million dollars!
00:55:02What are they doing? Where did they get that money from?
00:55:05I don't know, but they're definitely trying to humiliate you here.
00:55:08Really? But I don't even care about this bid.
00:55:12Five million dollars!
00:55:14Daniel, what are you doing?
00:55:16Don't worry, Jess. I've got this.
00:55:21Five million dollars!
00:55:23Daniel, what are you doing?
00:55:25Don't worry, Jess. I've got this.
00:55:27I've got six million dollars.
00:55:30Cash.
00:55:31Boom.
00:55:33You can't compete with that.
00:55:35Watch this.
00:55:37Seven million dollars!
00:55:40Eight million dollars!
00:55:43Did that just happen?
00:55:44Ten million dollars!
00:55:48Awesome.
00:55:50Ten million. Once, twice, sold.
00:55:55There's a gentleman there.
00:56:04Where did you get that money from?
00:56:06Well, do you remember me telling you about I have a powerful friend?
00:56:11Yeah, the one who helped me find my mother.
00:56:15Jessica.
00:56:16James Thornton.
00:56:18In the flesh. Or Mrs. Thornton.
00:56:22I want to apologize to you.
00:56:24I am truly sorry for everything I did to you and your mother.
00:56:28But I'm trying my best to make amends.
00:56:31Well, I don't know what to say.
00:56:36Jess, I know it's a lot to handle, but you've just got to trust me.
00:56:38Yeah, but why didn't you just tell me in the first place, Daniel?
00:56:42Jess!
00:56:44Jessica!
00:56:45Don't follow me!
00:56:46Hey!
00:56:50Oh, this could get interesting.
00:56:53Uh-huh.
00:57:06Look who's alone.
00:57:08No, just leave me alone.
00:57:10You're never going to win against James Thornton. He's my mother's best friend.
00:57:14You're going to lose everything.
00:57:15Poor babe, still played by the big boys.
00:57:18James Thornton and his son have been playing you all along.
00:57:23Wait, what did you just say? James Thornton and his son?
00:57:27Wait, Jess, you didn't know? Daniel Thornton is his son.
00:57:34Oh, my God.
00:57:35I didn't know that, but now that I do...
00:57:38Wow.
00:57:39That's enough!
00:57:41Oh, excuse me, Mr. Thornton.
00:57:44Crown Prince Ed and the Thornton family.
00:57:55This man has been lying to you all along.
00:57:58Poor little girl's got no one to trust.
00:58:00Both of you, get out of here.
00:58:04Okay.
00:58:05Okay.
00:58:13Jess, I've been trying to tell you...
00:58:15Am I a joke to you?
00:58:17No. What do you mean?
00:58:19You and your father.
00:58:21You've been playing me this whole time.
00:58:24No, I've been standing by your side all the time, Jess.
00:58:28I can't trust you.
00:58:30You lied to me.
00:58:32You're right.
00:58:33You're right.
00:58:36I have been hiding things from you.
00:58:40You know what I haven't told you yet?
00:58:43Another big secret.
00:58:46Are you sure you want to hear this?
00:58:53The other big secret is...
00:58:55The first time we met isn't always the case.
00:58:59It was five years ago.
00:59:01Five years ago?
00:59:03Yes.
00:59:05At a party.
00:59:07I was drunk and I fell in a pool.
00:59:18Oh, thank God you're alive.
00:59:24I was drowning and you saved my life.
00:59:27But you won't remember that.
00:59:30But I will forever be grateful for what you did for me that day.
00:59:34That...
00:59:36That was you?
00:59:37Yes.
00:59:38My father forbid me from seeing you.
00:59:41But I didn't care.
00:59:43I confronted him.
00:59:44You can't tell me what to do, Dad!
00:59:46You can't stop me from seeing her!
00:59:48I'm doing what's best for you, Daniel.
00:59:50That girl and all her family are nothing but trouble.
00:59:55And then he decided to tell me about everything he did to you and your mom.
00:59:58And I felt so guilty.
00:59:59It's okay.
01:00:04I was ashamed to approach you.
01:00:05I just didn't know how to face you without making things worse.
01:00:08And I thought the best thing to do was just be here with you.
01:00:12Now I know.
01:00:13And then I heard about you being deported and I just couldn't let that happen.
01:00:16Well...
01:00:19I saved you.
01:00:21And...
01:00:23You saved me.
01:00:25I guess we...
01:00:27Just belong together.
01:00:31Ew.
01:00:32Corny.
01:00:35But just...
01:00:38No more secrets.
01:00:41Okay?
01:00:42I promise.
01:00:45No more secrets.
01:00:55No more secrets.
01:01:02You're up early.
01:01:04Yeah.
01:01:05I'm gonna go pick your mom up from the airport.
01:01:07Better soon than later.
01:01:12Gianna's just texted me.
01:01:14She said that I have my first weekly exec meeting this morning.
01:01:19I should postpone it.
01:01:20No.
01:01:21You should definitely go to that.
01:01:23You need to look good in front of your board.
01:01:24Really?
01:01:25Yeah.
01:01:26I'm gonna go pick your mom up from the airport and I'll bring her straight to the office.
01:01:29Thanks.
01:01:31You're the best.
01:01:36Well, that went better than I thought.
01:01:38Don't underestimate yourself, Jess.
01:01:40You did great.
01:01:45Heya, Jess.
01:01:47What are you doing here?
01:01:49What are you doing here?
01:01:50I just wanted to share with you some interesting facts about your dear husband, Daniel Thornton.
01:01:56Gianna, can you wait outside a moment?
01:02:02Okay, I'm telling you now.
01:02:04Whatever bad, made-up facts that you've come to tell me about Daniel is not going to work.
01:02:10Because Daniel already told me everything.
01:02:13Everything?
01:02:14Yeah.
01:02:15Daniel already told me everything.
01:02:17Everything?
01:02:18Are you so sure?
01:02:20Yeah.
01:02:21Him and his father came clean about everything.
01:02:23There is nothing more to hide.
01:02:24And did they also tell you Daniel was supposed to marry his childhood sweetheart?
01:02:28What?
01:02:29Ashley Wimbledon.
01:02:31Heiress to the famous Wimbledon family.
01:02:33Ring any bells?
01:02:35Ashley.
01:02:39Ashley.
01:02:41Who is Ashley?
01:02:43I heard you guys talking about her earlier.
01:02:45Oh, she's just an old childhood friend.
01:02:49They grew up and went to law school together.
01:02:53And she had Daniel's first kiss.
01:02:59He did mention Ashley.
01:03:04He did.
01:03:05Yeah, but he's not going to marry her.
01:03:07I remember that conversation.
01:03:13Daniel's picking my mother up from the airport himself.
01:03:15I'll be seeing her soon.
01:03:18What are you laughing about?
01:03:24Daniel wants to bring her back, babe.
01:03:27But you're not going to see her.
01:03:32After years of separation with your mother,
01:03:35Daniel didn't let you go along with him to meet with her?
01:03:38And what kind of a husband does that?
01:03:40I had an early meeting this morning and Daniel didn't want me to worry.
01:03:44So easily manipulated, Jess.
01:03:48Just like old times.
01:03:50Yeah, well, I don't believe a word you say.
01:03:54Daniel isn't going to bring her back.
01:03:57Care to find out together?
01:04:07Are you sure everything is taken care of?
01:04:09Yes. You're free to live in this country.
01:04:12Clara, I also want to apologize for everything you went through years ago.
01:04:16I'm deeply sorry.
01:04:18Well, you did bring me back here.
01:04:20Right now, I just want to see my daughter.
01:04:22We'll go to her.
01:04:24Not so fast, Danny boy.
01:04:29You're too late, Lisa.
01:04:31Clara's here to claim Robert's inheritance back.
01:04:33Oh, I don't think so.
01:04:35Agents, do your thing.
01:04:37Wait.
01:04:38What?
01:04:39This is a mistake.
01:04:40No.
01:04:41Clara's got past customs. She can stay.
01:04:43Sweetheart, you really think those little documents can stop this?
01:04:46I don't think so.
01:04:48Back off, Lisa.
01:04:49Watch it, pretty boy.
01:04:51Jess.
01:04:52Mom! Mom!
01:04:53What are you doing?
01:04:54Where are they taking my mother?
01:04:56Mom, I will bring you back, I promise. Just stay strong.
01:04:59Oh, sis, it looks like you've been screwed by the Thorntons again.
01:05:02Adrian, you sabotaged this. You'll pay for this.
01:05:06See, babe, I told you he's not bringing her back.
01:05:09You said everything was taken care of.
01:05:11Jess, it's not me. It's them.
01:05:13You're lying, Daniel.
01:05:15Why don't you ask him about that thing we talked about?
01:05:17Jess.
01:05:20Jess.
01:05:21He said that you were going to marry Ashley.
01:05:23Okay, so it's true.
01:05:25Jess, can we just talk about this?
01:05:28No. No, no, no, no, no.
01:05:30Thing is, Daniel, you promised me no more secrets.
01:05:33I can't trust you anymore.
01:05:35Jess, can you just...
01:05:37Looks like you lost, Daniel.
01:05:39You're never getting her back.
01:06:02Oh, thank God you're alive.
01:06:31Ted, what's the problem with Clara?
01:06:34You're right, boss.
01:06:35I checked with customers in the USCIS,
01:06:37and they both confirmed that she illegally entered the country.
01:06:40Good. That is enough.
01:06:45Agents, do your thing.
01:06:47Wait.
01:06:48What?
01:06:49This is a mistake.
01:06:50No.
01:06:51Jess.
01:06:52Jess, baby!
01:06:53Mom!
01:06:56The ICE agents weren't real.
01:06:58They were hired by Adrian and Lisa to kidnap Clara.
01:07:01Hold on a sec.
01:07:05You're right, boss.
01:07:06We found out those people want her.
01:07:08What should we do?
01:07:10I need to find out where they took them.
01:07:12Use all our contacts.
01:07:14I'm not going to let them get away with this.
01:07:16On it, boss.
01:07:24Well, well, well, Clara.
01:07:27Bet you didn't expect to see me again, did you?
01:07:30We finally have what it takes to get it all back?
01:07:33Don't look at me like that. You disgust me.
01:07:42Jess, we need to talk.
01:07:44I don't want to talk to you.
01:07:45It's about your mom.
01:07:46I think she was kidnapped by Adrian and Lisa's people.
01:07:48The ICE agents weren't real.
01:07:51What are you talking about?
01:07:53I spoke to Ted.
01:07:54He told me that Clara illegally came into the country.
01:07:57It was a setup.
01:08:00Do you actually expect me to believe that?
01:08:03After all the lies?
01:08:04You're so full of shit, Daniel!
01:08:13Hello, bastard child.
01:08:15Yes, we have your mother.
01:08:17And if you ever want to see her again,
01:08:19follow the directions to the address that we just sent you.
01:08:22And don't bring anyone.
01:08:23Especially Daniel.
01:08:26Let me come with you.
01:08:28No, they want me alone. I don't want to risk...
01:08:30Jess.
01:08:31Don't follow me.
01:08:32I will not let you do this alone.
01:08:40Mom?
01:08:41Bastard child, over here.
01:08:43You let her go. This has gone on far enough.
01:08:47Not so fast, Liz.
01:08:49This is only the beginning.
01:08:55You sign this.
01:08:57We let her go.
01:08:59And what is it?
01:09:01An agreement signing everything over to us.
01:09:04The house.
01:09:05Company.
01:09:07Everything.
01:09:16It's signed?
01:09:18Now let her go.
01:09:20God, you are so naive, sis.
01:09:23What more do you want?
01:09:25Get down on your knees and show that you know your place.
01:09:32Get down on your knees and show that you know your place.
01:09:37Wait.
01:09:42That's better.
01:09:50Now bark like a dog.
01:09:54Come on.
01:10:00That's enough, Kristen.
01:10:06We're getting out of here, Monk.
01:10:13Let's get her out of here.
01:10:15Come on, let's go.
01:10:17Goddamn!
01:10:20The cops!
01:10:22Mom, we need to finish this.
01:10:24Mom, we gotta go. Come on.
01:10:26Daniel!
01:10:32Jess.
01:10:35Don't try and talk to the police. They're on their way.
01:10:38Jess, I'm so sorry.
01:10:41Why are you apologizing?
01:10:43Just don't move.
01:10:50Jess, I just want to apologize.
01:10:52I am so sorry.
01:10:54Daniel, what are you apologizing for?
01:10:57You saved my mom. You saved us.
01:11:02Hello again, Mr. Thornton.
01:11:04Officer, you're here.
01:11:06Yes.
01:11:07You promised me last week.
01:11:09You promised me.
01:11:11You promised me.
01:11:13You promised me.
01:11:15You promised me.
01:11:17Jess, you promised me last week you'd get that interview done.
01:11:22Officer, my husband is injured.
01:11:25He's literally lying in bed.
01:11:27Well, that doesn't change the requirements.
01:11:30Jess, it's okay.
01:11:33We can do the interview.
01:11:38We can do the interview.
01:11:41Are you insane?
01:11:43We haven't rehearsed this.
01:11:45Jess, when you see we've been rehearsing this whole Christmas,
01:11:50there's no better time to do this.
01:11:52You're right.
01:11:56We're ready, officer.
01:11:58Let's start with the question I asked you last week.
01:12:01When did you two first meet?
01:12:03Five years and four months ago.
01:12:05I don't understand.
01:12:07Last time you said it was six months ago
01:12:10when the other one said it was eight months ago.
01:12:12We lied, officer.
01:12:14But it was five years ago
01:12:16at a pool party.
01:12:18And we had our first kiss when we first met.
01:12:23It sounds pretty far-fetched.
01:12:25But for some reason,
01:12:27I want to give you two the benefit of the doubt.
01:12:32It sounds pretty far-fetched.
01:12:35But for some reason,
01:12:37I want to give you two the benefit of the doubt.
01:12:40Daniel risked his life
01:12:42to save me and my mother.
01:12:44There's nothing more he needs to do
01:12:46to prove his love for me.
01:12:48One last question.
01:12:50How frequently have you two spent the night together
01:12:52in the past week?
01:12:59Relax.
01:13:01I can tell it's been at least three times.
01:13:04Right, well, that's my interview done.
01:13:06You two are quite the couple.
01:13:08Thank you, officer.
01:13:10Daniel! Daniel!
01:13:12Daniel! She's coming!
01:13:14Who's coming?
01:13:21Your fiancΓ©.
01:13:23That's who.
01:13:28Your fiancΓ©.
01:13:30That's who.
01:13:31Ashley.
01:13:33I guess I'm not done yet.
01:13:35You betrayed my family's trust, Daniel.
01:13:38Ashley, please.
01:13:40Can't we talk about this?
01:13:42So you're Jessica Miller, huh?
01:13:45Adrian's told me all about you.
01:13:48I don't know what Adrian told you,
01:13:50but it's not what you think.
01:13:53Daniel was supposed to marry me,
01:13:56and then you just waltzed in and ruined everything.
01:13:59Ashley, our engagement was long over
01:14:02before Jessica came to the picture.
01:14:06Oh, I see.
01:14:08You think this is over.
01:14:11I'm the heiress of the Wimbledon family.
01:14:15The Thornton name is as good as ruined.
01:14:19You can't do that, Ashley.
01:14:25Watch me.
01:14:31You're not the only heiress here.
01:14:35Shh.
01:14:37I own Miller Empire,
01:14:40and if you come for the Thorntons,
01:14:43the Miller Empire is gonna come for you
01:14:47so hard.
01:14:52You've got guts, Jessica.
01:14:55I like you.
01:14:59I gotta tell you, I didn't expect that.
01:15:02This is so much better than watching TV.
01:15:04Glad to see you've replaced me with someone
01:15:06with a little fire, Daniel.
01:15:12I always knew Daniel didn't love me,
01:15:15but he was too afraid of his father
01:15:18to ever go after his true love.
01:15:21But I guess I'm happy
01:15:24that he's found someone who wants the same things as him.
01:15:29So...
01:15:32that's it?
01:15:34That's it.
01:15:38Enjoy your happy ending, darling.
01:15:44Andrea, bring the car around.
01:15:49Did that actually just happen?
01:15:51Yeah.
01:15:53Wow. You two really don't let anyone
01:15:56or anything get in the way of true love.
01:15:59You see that?
01:16:03This is all your fault, Mom.
01:16:05If you wouldn't have been so reckless,
01:16:06then maybe we wouldn't be in this mess.
01:16:08Don't put all the blame on me.
01:16:09You're just as much a part of this as I am.
01:16:11Where is Adrian? He should be here by now.
01:16:14Miss me?
01:16:16Where have you been?
01:16:17Just tying up a few loose ends.
01:16:19Don't worry about it.
01:16:21Everything's going according to plan.
01:16:23Plan? What plan?
01:16:25Everything's falling apart.
01:16:37What did you do, Adrian?
01:16:39Well, me, myself, I done nothing illegal.
01:16:42You two on the other hand,
01:16:44that's a different story.
01:16:46You set us up!
01:16:48I'm just ensuring my own safety.
01:16:50After all, I kept my hands clean.
01:16:55Oh!
01:16:58Ow!
01:16:59You're not gonna get away with this, asshole!
01:17:02I already have.
01:17:10I remember when this place was filled with warmth and laughter.
01:17:14Used to be a real family home back then.
01:17:17Then things just went south.
01:17:19Things will be fine again, Mom, I promise.
01:17:22We'll turn this into a good family house.
01:17:24No more hatred.
01:17:26No more backstabbing.
01:17:28I missed you every single day, Jess.
01:17:30I'm so sorry for everything both of us had to go through.
01:17:37Jessica.
01:17:38Wow.
01:17:40I am so sorry for everything I've done to you both.
01:17:45I was wrong.
01:17:47And I know I can never fully make up for it.
01:17:50But I want to try.
01:17:52James, you kept us apart for so many years.
01:17:55It's gonna be hard to forgive and forget.
01:17:57I know, Clara.
01:18:01Jess, are you alright?
01:18:05Yeah, I know, I'm...
01:18:07I'm fine.
01:18:09I just feel...
01:18:11I just feel nauseous, that's all.
01:18:14Have you been getting any other symptoms,
01:18:16like dizziness or fatigue?
01:18:20Yeah, but I just thought that was from all the stress.
01:18:26Sweetheart.
01:18:28You're pregnant.
01:18:29Really?
01:18:30You're showing all the signs, Jess.
01:18:35We're gonna have a baby.
01:18:37Wait.
01:18:38That means I'm gonna be a grandpa.
01:18:42Yeah.
01:18:50Daniel.
01:18:53There's something you need to do.
01:18:57What's this?
01:18:59This is a ring your grandma left.
01:19:02And I think this is the perfect time to use it.
01:19:06Go on, Daniel.
01:19:07I'm gonna do this?
01:19:08Yeah, go on.
01:19:19Jess?
01:19:21Jess!
01:19:24Jess, I know we've only ever spent time together
01:19:27a week during Christmas.
01:19:28And we've been through so much in that time.
01:19:31And over the past five years,
01:19:33all I've wanted to do was be with you.
01:19:36And I've had to endure the pain of that not being possible.
01:19:39I want to spend every waking moment in time with you.
01:19:42What I'm trying to say is, Jess...
01:19:46Will you marry me?
01:19:50For real this time?
01:19:52Yes, Daniel. Yes, I will marry you.
01:19:55Yes!
01:19:56Really?
01:19:57Yes!
