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

00:53:55Really?
00:53:56But I don't even care about this bid.

00:54:41So, gentlemen, there.
00:54:50Where did you get that money from?
00:54:52Well, do you remember me telling you about I have a powerful friend?
00:54:58Yeah, the one who helped me find my mother.
00:55:02Jessica.
00:55:03James Thornton.
00:55:05In the flesh.
00:55:06Or Mrs. Thornton.
00:55:08I want to apologize to you.
00:55:10I am truly sorry for everything I did to you and your mother.
00:55:15But I'm trying my best to make amends.
00:55:18Well, I don't know what to say.
00:55:22Jess, I know it's a lot to handle.
00:55:24You've just got to trust me.
00:55:25But why didn't you just tell me in the first place, Daniel?
00:55:28Jess!
00:55:30Jessica!
00:55:31Don't follow me!
00:55:36Oh, this could get interesting.
00:55:39Uh-huh.
00:55:52Look who's all alone.
00:55:54No, just leave me alone.
00:55:56You're never gonna win against James Thornton.
00:55:58He's my mother's best friend.
00:56:00You're gonna lose everything.
00:56:02Poor babe.
00:56:03Still played by the big boys.
00:56:05James Thornton and his son have been playing you all along.
00:56:09Wait, what did you just say?
00:56:12James Thornton and his son?
00:56:14Wait, Jess, you didn't know?
00:56:15Daniel Thornton is his son.
00:56:20Oh, my God.
00:56:21I didn't know that.
00:56:23Now that I do...
00:56:24Wow.
00:56:25That's enough!
00:56:28Excuse me, Mr. Thornton.
00:56:30Crown Prince Zedd of the Thornton family.
00:56:42This man has been lying to you all along.
00:56:44Poor little girl's got no one to trust.
00:56:47Both of you, get out of here.
00:56:51Hey.
00:56:54Hey.
00:56:59Jess, I've been trying to tell you...
00:57:01Am I a joke to you?
00:57:03No.
00:57:04What do you mean?
00:57:05You and your father.
00:57:07You've been playing me this whole time.
00:57:10No, I've been standing by your side all the time, Jess.
00:57:13I can't...
00:57:14I can't trust you.
00:57:16You lied to me.
00:57:18You're right.
00:57:19You're right.
00:57:23I have been hiding things from you.
00:57:27You know what I haven't told you yet?
00:57:30Another big secret.
00:57:33Are you sure you want to hear this?
00:57:40You know what the big secret is?
00:57:42The first time we met isn't what you think it is.
00:57:46It was five years ago.
00:57:48Five years ago?
00:57:49Yes.
00:57:51At a party.
00:57:53I was drunk and I fell in a pool.
00:58:04Oh, thank God you're alive.
00:58:10I was drowning and you saved my life.
00:58:13But you won't remember that.
00:58:16But I will forever be grateful for what you did for me that day.
00:58:20That...
00:58:22That was you?
00:58:23Yes.
00:58:24My father forbid me from seeing you.
00:58:27But I didn't care.
00:58:29I confronted him.
00:58:31You can't tell me what to do, Dad!
00:58:32You can't stop me from seeing her!
00:58:34I'm doing what's best for you, Daniel.
00:58:36That girl and all her family are nothing but trouble.
00:58:41And then he decided to tell me about everything he did to you and your mom.
00:58:44And I felt so guilty.
00:58:46It's okay.
00:58:48I was ashamed to approach you.
00:58:50I just didn't know how to face you without making things worse.
00:58:52And I thought the best thing to do was just meet you.
00:58:56No, I know.
00:58:57And then I heard about you being deported and I just couldn't let that happen.
00:59:00Well...
00:59:03I saved you.
00:59:05And...
00:59:07You saved me.
00:59:09Because we...
00:59:11Just belong together.
00:59:12Ew.
00:59:13Corny.
00:59:16But just...
00:59:19No more secrets.
00:59:21Okay?
00:59:23I promise.
00:59:25No more secrets.
00:59:43EPISODE 2
00:59:48You're up early.
00:59:50Yeah.
00:59:51I'm gonna go pick your mom up from the airport.
00:59:53Better sooner than later.
00:59:58Gianna's just texted me.
01:00:00She said that I have my first weekly exec meeting this morning.
01:00:05I should postpone it.
01:00:06No.
01:00:07You should definitely go to that.
01:00:09You need to look good in front of your board.
01:00:11Really?
01:00:12Yeah.
01:00:13I'm gonna go pick your mom up from the airport.
01:00:14And I'll bring her straight to the office.
01:00:16Thanks.
01:00:17You're the best.
01:00:22Well, that went better than I thought.
01:00:24Don't underestimate yourself, Jess.
01:00:26You did great.
01:00:32Heya, Jess.
01:00:33What are you doing here?
01:00:38What are you doing here?
01:00:40I just wanted to share with you some interesting facts about your dear husband, Daniel Thornton.
01:00:46Gianna, can you wait outside a moment?
01:00:52Okay, I'm telling you now.
01:00:54Whatever bad, made-up facts that you've come to tell me about Daniel, it's not gonna work.
01:01:00Because Daniel already told me everything.
01:01:03Everything?
01:01:04Are you so sure?
01:01:05Yeah.
01:01:06Him and his father came clean about everything.
01:01:08There is nothing more to hide.
01:01:10And did they also tell you Daniel was supposed to marry his childhood sweetheart?
01:01:14What?
01:01:15Ashley Wimbledon.
01:01:16Heiress to the famous Wimbledon family.
01:01:19Ring any bells?
01:01:20Ashley.
01:01:24Ashley.
01:01:26Who is Ashley?
01:01:28I heard you guys talking about her earlier.
01:01:31Oh, she's just an old childhood friend.
01:01:35They grew up and went to law school together.
01:01:38And she had Daniel's first kiss.
01:01:44He did mention Ashley.
01:01:50He did?
01:01:51Yeah, but he's not gonna marry her.
01:01:53I remember that conversation.
01:01:58Daniel's picking my mother up from the airport himself.
01:02:01I'll be seeing her soon.
01:02:04What are you laughing about?
01:02:10Daniel wants to bring her back, babe.
01:02:13You're not gonna see her.
01:02:18After years of separation with your mother, Daniel didn't let you go along with him to meet with her?
01:02:24And what kind of a husband does that?
01:02:26I had an early meeting this morning and Daniel didn't want me to worry.
01:02:31So easily manipulated, Jess.
01:02:35Just like old times.
01:02:37Yeah, well, I don't believe a word you say.
01:02:41Daniel isn't gonna bring her back.
01:02:44Care to find out together?
01:02:54Are you sure everything is taken care of?
01:02:56Yes.
01:02:57You're free to live in this country.
01:02:59Clara, I also want to apologize for everything you went through years ago.
01:03:03I'm deeply sorry.
01:03:04Well, you did bring me back here.
01:03:06Right now, I just want to see my daughter.
01:03:09We'll go to her.
01:03:10Not so fast, Danny boy.
01:03:15You're too late, Lisa.
01:03:17Clara's here to claim Robert's inheritance back.
01:03:19Oh, I don't think so.
01:03:21Agents do your thing.
01:03:23Wait.
01:03:24This is a mistake.
01:03:25No.
01:03:26Clara's got past customs.
01:03:27She can stay.
01:03:28Sweetheart, you really think those little documents can stop this?
01:03:31I don't think so.
01:03:33Back off, Lisa.
01:03:34Watch it, pretty boy.
01:03:36Jess.
01:03:37Mom!
01:03:38What are you doing?
01:03:39Where are they taking my mother?
01:03:41Mom, I will bring her back, I promise.
01:03:43Just stay strong.
01:03:44Sis, it looks like you've been screwed by the Thorntons again.
01:03:47Adrienne, you sabotaged this.
01:03:50You'll pay for this.
01:03:51See, babe?
01:03:52I told you he's not bringing her back.
01:03:54You said everything was taken care of.
01:03:57Jess, it's not me.
01:03:58It's them.
01:03:59You're lying, Daniel.
01:04:00Why don't you ask him about that thing we talked about, Jess?
01:04:06Jess.
01:04:07He said that you were going to marry Ashley.
01:04:09Okay, so it's true.
01:04:11Jess, can we just talk about this?
01:04:14No.
01:04:15No, no, no, no, no.
01:04:16Thing is, Daniel, you promised me no more secrets.
01:04:19I can't trust you anymore.
01:04:21Jess!
01:04:22It's just...
01:04:23It looks like you lost, Daniel.
01:04:25You're never getting her back.
01:04:48Oh, thank God you're alive.
01:04:55Huh?
01:05:16Ted, what's the problem with Clara?
01:05:18Her payport was for us.
01:05:20You're right, boss.
01:05:21We checked with customers in the USCIS,
01:05:23and the approval confirms that she legally entered the country.
01:05:26Good.
01:05:27That is enough.
01:05:31Agents, do your thing.
01:05:32Wait.
01:05:33What?
01:05:34This is a mistake.
01:05:35No.
01:05:37Jess!
01:05:38Jess! Baby!
01:05:39Mom!
01:05:42The ICE agents weren't real.
01:05:44They were hired by Adrian and Lisa to kidnap Clara.
01:05:47Hold on a sec.
01:05:51You're right, boss.
01:05:52We found out those people want her.
01:05:54What should we do?
01:05:56I need to find out where they took them.
01:05:58Use all our contacts.
01:05:59I'm not gonna let them get away with this.
01:06:01On it, boss.
01:06:10Well, well, well, Clara.
01:06:13Bet you didn't expect to see me again, did you?
01:06:16We finally have what it takes to get it all back?
01:06:19Don't look at me like that. You disgust me.
01:06:27Jess, we need to talk.
01:06:29I don't want to talk to you.
01:06:30It's about your mom.
01:06:32I think she was kidnapped by Adrian and Lisa's people.
01:06:34The ICE agents weren't real.
01:06:37What are you talking about?
01:06:39I spoke to Ted.
01:06:40He told me that Clara legally came into the country.
01:06:43It was a setup.
01:06:45Do you actually expect me to believe that?
01:06:48After all the lies.
01:06:49You're so full of shit, Daniel!
01:06:58Hello, bastard child.
01:07:00Yes, we have your mother.
01:07:02And if you ever want to see her again,
01:07:04follow the directions to the address that we just sent you.
01:07:07And don't bring anyone.
01:07:08Especially Daniel.
01:07:13Let me come with you.
01:07:14No, they want me alone.
01:07:15I don't want to risk-
01:07:16Jess.
01:07:17Don't follow me.
01:07:18I will not let you do this alone.
01:07:26Mom?
01:07:27Bastard child, over here.
01:07:30You let her go.
01:07:31This has gone on far enough.
01:07:33Not so fast, sis.
01:07:35This is only the beginning.
01:07:41You sign this,
01:07:43we let her go.
01:07:45And what is it?
01:07:46An agreement signing everything over to us.
01:07:49The house.
01:07:51Company.
01:07:53Everything.
01:08:01It's signed?
01:08:03No, let her go.
01:08:05God, you are so naive, sis.
01:08:09What more do you want?
01:08:11Get down on your knees and show that you know your place.
01:08:17Get down on your knees and show that you know your place.
01:08:22Wait.
01:08:27That's better.
01:08:35Now bark like a dog.
01:08:41Come on.
01:08:46That's enough, Kristen.
01:08:52We're getting out of here, Monk.
01:08:59Let's get her out of here.
01:09:01Come on, let's go.
01:09:03God, Daniel!
01:09:09We need to finish this.
01:09:10Mom, we gotta go. Come on.
01:09:13Daniel!
01:09:17Mom.
01:09:19Jess.
01:09:22Don't try and talk to the police.
01:09:24They're on their way.
01:09:25Jess.
01:09:27I'm so sorry.
01:09:28Why are you apologizing?
01:09:30Just don't move.
01:09:41The doctor said it was nothing serious, so...
01:09:44He'll be out of here soon.
01:09:46Jess, I just want to apologize.
01:09:48I am so sorry.
01:09:50Daniel, what are you apologizing for?
01:09:53You saved my mom. You saved us.
01:09:58Hello again, Mr. Thornton.
01:10:00Officer, you're here.
01:10:02Yes.
01:10:03You promised me last week we'd get that interview done.
01:10:08Officer, my husband is injured.
01:10:11He's literally lying in bed.
01:10:13Well, that doesn't change the requirements.
01:10:15Jess, it's okay.
01:10:18We can do the interview.
01:10:23We can do the interview.
01:10:27Are you insane?
01:10:28We haven't rehearsed this.
01:10:30Jess, when you see we've been rehearsing this whole Christmas,
01:10:35there's no better time to do this.
01:10:37You're right.
01:10:40We're ready, officer.
01:10:42Let's start with the question I asked you last week.
01:10:45When did you two first meet?
01:10:47Five years and four months ago.
01:10:49I don't understand.
01:10:51Last time you said it was six months ago
01:10:54when the other one said it was eight months ago.
01:10:56We lied, officer.
01:10:58But it was five years ago, at a pool party.
01:11:02And we had our first kiss when we first met.
01:11:06It sounds pretty far-fetched.
01:11:08But for some reason,
01:11:10I want to give you two the benefit of the doubt.
01:11:16It sounds pretty far-fetched.
01:11:18But for some reason,
01:11:20I want to give you two the benefit of the doubt.
01:11:23Daniel risked his life to save me and my mother.
01:11:27There's nothing more that he needs to do to prove his love for me.
01:11:30One last question.
01:11:32How frequently have you two spent the night together in the past week?
01:11:41Relax.
01:11:43I can tell it's been at least three times.
01:11:45Right, well, that's my interview done.
01:11:48You two are quite the couple.
01:11:50Thank you, officer.
01:11:52Daniel.
01:11:54Daniel, she's coming.
01:11:56Who's coming?
01:11:58She's coming.
01:11:59Who's coming?
01:12:06Your fiancé.
01:12:08That's who.
01:12:13Your fiancé.
01:12:15That's who.
01:12:16Ashley.
01:12:18I guess I'm not done yet.
01:12:20You betrayed my family's trust, Daniel.
01:12:23Ashley, please.
01:12:25Can't we talk about this?
01:12:27So you're Jessica Miller, huh?
01:12:30Adrian's told me all about you.
01:12:32I don't know what Adrian told you,
01:12:35but it's not what you think.
01:12:37Daniel was supposed to marry me,
01:12:40and then you just waltzed in and ruined everything.
01:12:44Ashley, our engagement was long over before Jessica came to the picture.
01:12:51Oh, I see.
01:12:53You think this is over.
01:12:57I'm the heiress of the Wimbledon family.
01:13:01The Thornton name is as good as ruined.
01:13:05You can't do that, Ashley.
01:13:11Watch me.
01:13:17You're not the only heiress here.
01:13:22I own Miller Empire.
01:13:25And if you come for the Thorntons,
01:13:28the Miller Empire is gonna come for you so hard.
01:13:37You've got guts, Jessica.
01:13:40I like you.
01:13:44I gotta tell you, I didn't expect that.
01:13:47This is so much better than watching TV.
01:13:49Glad to see you've replaced me with someone with a little fire, Daniel.
01:13:56I always knew Daniel didn't love me,
01:14:00but he was too afraid of his father to ever go after his true love.
01:14:05But I guess I'm happy
01:14:09that he's found someone who wants the same things as him.
01:14:13So...
01:14:16that's it?
01:14:18That's it.
01:14:22Enjoy your happy ending, darling.
01:14:28Andrea, bring the car around.
01:14:33Did that actually just happen?
01:14:35Yeah.
01:14:36Wow.
01:14:37You two really don't let anyone or anything get in the way of true love.
01:14:43You can see that coming.
01:14:47This is all your fault, Mom.
01:14:49This is all your fault, Mom.
01:14:50If you wouldn't have been so reckless, then maybe we wouldn't be in this mess.
01:14:53Don't put all the blame on me.
01:14:54You're just as much a part of this as I am.
01:14:56Where is Ashley?
01:14:57She should be here by now.
01:15:00Miss me?
01:15:01Where have you been?
01:15:02Just tying up a few loose ends.
01:15:05Don't worry about it.
01:15:06Everything's going according to plan.
01:15:08Plan?
01:15:09What plan?
01:15:10Everything's falling apart.
01:15:19What did you do?
01:15:22What did you do, Adrian?
01:15:24Well, me, myself, I've done nothing illegal.
01:15:27You two, on the other hand, that's a different story.
01:15:31You set us up!
01:15:33I'm just ensuring my own safety.
01:15:35After all, I kept my hands clean.
01:15:43Ow!
01:15:44You're not gonna get away with this, asshole!
01:15:47I already have.
01:15:55I remember when this place was filled with warmth and laughter.
01:15:59Used to be a real family home back then.
01:16:02Then things just went south.
01:16:05Things will be fine again, Mom, I promise.
01:16:08We'll turn this into a good family house.
01:16:10No more hatred.
01:16:12No more backstabbing.
01:16:14I missed you every single day, Jess.
01:16:16I'm so sorry for everything both of us had to go through.
01:16:23Jessica.
01:16:24Clara.
01:16:26I am so sorry for everything that I've done to you both.
01:16:31I was wrong.
01:16:32And I know I can never fully make up for it, but I want to try.
01:16:37James, you kept us apart for so many years.
01:16:40It's gonna be hard to forgive and forget.
01:16:43I know, Clara.
01:16:47Jess, are you alright?
01:16:51Yeah, no, I'm... I'm fine.
01:16:54I just feel...
01:16:57Nauseous, that's all.
01:16:59Have you been getting any other symptoms, like dizziness or fatigue?
01:17:05Yeah, but I just thought that was from all the stress.
01:17:11Sweetheart, you're pregnant!
01:17:14Really?
01:17:15You're showing all the signs, Jess.
01:17:20We're gonna have a baby!
01:17:22Wait, that means I'm gonna be a grandpa!
01:17:27Yeah!
01:17:36Daniel.
01:17:39There's something you need to do.
01:17:43What's this?
01:17:44This is a ring your grandma left.
01:17:48And I think this is the perfect time to use it.
01:17:52Go get it.
01:17:53I'm gonna do this?
01:17:54Yeah, go.
01:18:05Jess?
01:18:06Jess!
01:18:10Jess, I know we've only ever spent time together a week during Christmas.
01:18:13And we've been through so much in that time.
01:18:16And over the past five years, all I've wanted to do is be with you.
01:18:21And I've had to endure the pain of that not being possible.
01:18:24I want to spend every waking moment in time with you.
01:18:27What I'm trying to say is, Jess...
01:18:33Will you marry me?
01:18:37For real this time.
01:18:39Yes, Daniel! Yes, I will marry you! Yes!
01:18:42Really?
01:18:43Yes!
