00:00:00Oh, shit!
00:00:22No!
00:00:23Touching, creep!
00:00:25What? What?
00:00:28Hey, hold on.
00:00:39Vodka. Neat.
00:00:41Please.
00:00:46I miss having a man around to take her out the trash.
00:00:53You got dumped?
00:00:55Yeah.
00:00:56Sucks.
00:01:01Did you love her?
00:01:03Not sure it mattered. Her 50,000 followers loved her, and that's all she cared about.
00:01:08Well, if she's too busy counting likes to see you, she doesn't know you.
00:01:13And her opinion is shit.
00:01:16Okay, it is time for our lovely wild jackals to get up and wag those tails.
00:01:23Come on, Blanton!
00:01:24Yeah!
00:01:26Oh, dude, this is the part I was telling you about.
00:01:45How about a game of pool?
00:02:15Bet you 300 I'll win.
00:02:28You're enjoying this.
00:02:31Come on, get over here.
00:02:32Show me how it's done.
00:02:34Yes, ma'am.
00:02:38There we go.
00:02:39Okay.
00:02:46Fire!
00:02:49How old are you?
00:02:50Never mind, don't answer that.
00:02:54I love your accent.
00:02:56Australian?
00:02:57Sort of.
00:02:58My mom moved to Adelaide when I was a baby, and then we moved back when I was 16.
00:03:05April. Corner pocket.
00:03:15Boom!
00:03:17My Benjamins, please.
00:03:24You carry that much cash?
00:03:26Yeah.
00:03:27But that was sus.
00:03:29I feel like I've been hustled.
00:03:31No.
00:03:34You're a wonderful teacher.
00:04:10I wish I got his number.
00:04:13Or a name.
00:04:19Class!
00:04:20We have class!
00:04:22Dakota, honey, wake up!
00:04:23It's our first day of-
00:04:24I already made coffee.
00:04:26Best daughter in the world.
00:04:31Mom, I need a shower.
00:04:36Yeah, I do.
00:04:43Oh no, this is humiliating.
00:04:46I can't go in there looking like I bled all over myself.
00:04:51Not to mention, I'm nearly twice people's ages.
00:04:55Mom, I got some clothes in my gym bag.
00:04:57I'm gonna use them.
00:05:02I'm so sorry.
00:05:03I'm so sorry.
00:05:04I'm so sorry.
00:05:05I'm so sorry.
00:05:06I'm so sorry.
00:05:07I'm so sorry.
00:05:08I'm so sorry.
00:05:09I'm so sorry.
00:05:10I'm so sorry.
00:05:12Oh, yes!
00:05:14How'd you get to be so awesome?
00:05:21Alright, I love you.
00:05:22I gotta get to class.
00:05:23Alright, bye.
00:05:31Hello?
00:05:32Hi, Caitlin.
00:05:34This is Helen Brooks.
00:05:36Miss Brooks, hello!
00:05:38You weren't-
00:05:39You got my notice, I hope.
00:05:40Of course, yes.
00:05:42Now, you quit in order to pursue a degree at Warren University, correct?
00:05:46Yeah, that's right.
00:05:47I would like to employ your matchmaking skills.
00:05:50I'll continue your weekly assistant wage.
00:05:52I'm sure you could use some money.
00:05:54Oh, well, I definitely could, but-
00:05:56My son, Julien, is attending graduate school.
00:05:59Need to keep him away from gold digging and slutty bar types
00:06:02and steer him back to his charming ex-girlfriend, Gabriella Warren.
00:06:07Now, it's very important.
00:06:09Our livelihood depends on it.
00:06:11Sounds easy enough.
00:06:13Excellent.
00:06:14And if you can secure an engagement with Gabriella,
00:06:17you can expect a year's wages bonus on top of it.
00:06:21Oh, wow!
00:06:23You can count on me, Miss Brooks.
00:06:25Sending you his contact card now.
00:06:27Good luck.
00:06:31That's a $40,000 bonus!
00:06:34I can't see this photo at all.
00:06:53Can this get any worse?
00:07:04If everyone could just sign in using the QR code before we dive in, please.
00:07:17No, damn it.
00:07:18No, no, no, no.
00:07:20Of course I would forget to plug in my phone last night.
00:07:27Excuse me, sir.
00:07:28Do you have a paper sign-in?
00:07:30My phone died.
00:07:33Oh.
00:07:40It's you.
00:07:44It's you.
00:07:46Oh, really nice to see you.
00:07:52So, moist?
00:07:56Okay, you're a baby.
00:07:59How are you, Professor?
00:08:01I'm a TA, actually. I'm a grad student.
00:08:04Why don't you put your name, email, and phone number down here?
00:08:17Ah, Kayla.
00:08:22Why don't you take a seat up front?
00:08:25I want a good view.
00:08:32All right, into the snake pit.
00:08:37Good move.
00:08:38I bet it was really hard for you to see from the back.
00:08:41Mal, respect your elders.
00:08:46I like your shirt. You are so brave.
00:08:52It's my daughter's. I did not plan on wearing this today.
00:08:55Oh, it's your daughter's.
00:08:57It's my daughter's. I did not plan on wearing this today.
00:09:00Oh, it's your daughter's.
00:09:02Eighteen. She's actually a student here, too.
00:09:05Shut up. So what are you, like, fifty?
00:09:12Kaitlyn.
00:09:13I'm Mallory. You look really good for fifty.
00:09:17Gabriela. Gabriela Warren.
00:09:20And that's her? Julian's ex?
00:09:23Seems awful. What would Helen want with her?
00:09:27Oh, how funny. Warren liked the school.
00:09:31Yeah, my dad donated a hundred mil, so they named the whole school after him.
00:09:37Wow. Wow.
00:09:42Okay, that's what Helen sees in her.
00:09:45Gabs, you're totally going to ace this class.
00:09:48Look at that poor TA.
00:09:50Hey, he's totally still simping over you.
00:09:54You know, I heard that he rebounded with some bar whore last night.
00:10:07Whatever. Now that he's slumming it, he'll miss me more.
00:10:12Welcome to microeconomics, everyone.
00:10:16Uh.
00:10:25Professor Nelson will be back next class, but in the meantime, we're going to take a quick poll.
00:10:32So could everyone hit that link, please?
00:10:34See you, Gabby.
00:11:05Thanks. You saved me.
00:11:08You can keep him if you want.
00:11:09Oh, no. I couldn't.
00:11:11I insist.
00:11:14As mine as yours.
00:11:17I need to pee.
00:11:20Caitlin, wait.
00:11:22I can't stop thinking about you.
00:11:25And now you're in my class.
00:11:27It's got to be fate, right?
00:11:29And now you're in my class.
00:11:31It's got to be fate, right?
00:11:33Crisis Agenda is playing next week.
00:11:35They are my favorite.
00:11:37Come with me.
00:11:39As my girlfriend.
00:11:41I really got to go. I'll be right back.
00:11:49Helen Brooks' son? Why would he be calling me?
00:11:54You better come back.
00:11:59Holy hell, that is Julian Brooks.
00:12:07Fuck! You hooked up with Helen Brooks' son?
00:12:10How am I supposed to take this job now?
00:12:13He is young.
00:12:15But he's beautiful.
00:12:18Smart.
00:12:20Rich.
00:12:22Do you think you're meant to be together?
00:12:25Stop it!
00:12:27It's too messy working for Helen.
00:12:31I think I want to give Julian a chance.
00:12:46Wake up, Caitlin.
00:12:48Julian's an entitled rich child with no idea who or what he wants.
00:12:52He's nothing more than a payday.
00:12:57I'm sorry.
00:13:04Mission Warren Brooks accepted.
00:13:07Make it rain Cupid's fucking arrows.
00:13:26Hey there. You are a sight for sore eyes.
00:13:29Hi, Bobby.
00:13:31Come here, come here, come here.
00:13:32I want to see my little money magnet.
00:13:34Come on, come on, come on.
00:13:36You know, for an old broad, you really do know how to shake that tail and reel that dough in.
00:13:41Wow, thanks, Bobby. That means a lot.
00:13:43You did some really great sales last night, baby.
00:13:46Real great.
00:13:47But I got a question.
00:13:48When were you planning on cutting me in?
00:13:51What?
00:13:54Security camera.
00:13:55Yeah.
00:13:58Yeah, I saw you.
00:13:59I saw that John gave you a wad of cash and then you fucked on my pool table.
00:14:05Shit! Totally forgot about the cameras.
00:14:08Julian empties my brain.
00:14:11Baby, baby, baby, don't be ashamed.
00:14:13That was some hot stuff.
00:14:15I washed it a few times.
00:14:16No, you've got it wrong.
00:14:19This is what we're going to do.
00:14:20I'm going to drum up some Johns for you and then we'll split it 50-50.
00:14:23No, Bobby.
00:14:24He would never pay for sex.
00:14:25I would never do that.
00:14:26It was a bet.
00:14:27I'm not a goddamn moron, Katie.
00:14:30Now, come on, you don't like this deal?
00:14:31Well, then I'll rip a day shade.
00:14:33That means you owe me that two weeks advance I gave you.
00:14:36This is crazy, Bobby.
00:14:38That advance went towards my rent.
00:14:40I am absolutely not a hooker.
00:14:43Oh, yeah.
00:14:44And my balls taste like bubblegum.
00:14:48You know,
00:14:50there are plenty of ways to earn it, baby.
00:14:58Hey, we're close.
00:14:59Get out of here.
00:15:02Get the fuck away from me.
00:15:05Wait a minute.
00:15:07You're the guy.
00:15:09You're the John from the video.
00:15:10What the hell are you talking about?
00:15:12Oh, let me go, you pretty boy.
00:15:14That seems like you can't do much from there.
00:15:16I got you both on videos.
00:15:18America's sluttiest home videos.
00:15:20I was just gonna fuck up her life.
00:15:22But I'll gladly put you down to her shit pile, too.
00:15:24Yeah, it's messed up.
00:15:27He got us.
00:15:30Listen, you don't have the balls to off me.
00:15:32I know that.
00:15:33So this is what we're gonna do.
00:15:34Give you $10,000 and that video will disappears.
00:15:37I think you underestimate my connections, creep.
00:15:46You're going to destroy that hard drive.
00:15:47And apologize to Caitlin.
00:15:49Or else I make a call.
00:15:58You got me.
00:15:59You're pretty good.
00:16:00You know what?
00:16:01The price just went up.
00:16:02About $20,000 now.
00:16:04No need, Julian.
00:16:07We're good.
00:16:13You slutty little thief.
00:16:15You know, Bobby, a few nights ago,
00:16:18you partied with some very young girls
00:16:21with very bad fake IDs.
00:16:23I wonder if that's on here.
00:16:26I dictate the terms now.
00:16:28This comes home with me.
00:16:31I'm sure your tech-challenged ass didn't think to make copies.
00:16:34I am going to leave here,
00:16:36keep my money,
00:16:39and never have to see your nasty face
00:16:43or balls ever again.
00:16:47Now you can suck it, scumbag.
00:16:50I quit.
00:16:55Holy shit!
00:16:57That was amazing.
00:16:59You were amazing.
00:17:00How did you know that I was about to...
00:17:14Julian, I...
00:17:36I need you.
00:17:38I need you.
00:17:43Now, get in the car.
00:17:45Your wish is my command.
00:18:14No, stop.
00:18:23What?
00:18:24What's wrong?
00:18:29What's this room?
00:18:34Shit, I never told you.
00:18:36I never told you.
00:18:38I never told you.
00:18:39I never told you.
00:18:40I never told you.
00:18:42Shit, I never told him I had a kid.
00:18:44Now I quit my job,
00:18:45and his mom's money is the only thing I have.
00:18:47Caitlin, are you okay?
00:18:49Fuck.
00:18:50I need to get out of my own way
00:18:52and focus on paying rent.
00:18:53Uh, this was a mistake.
00:18:55No, no, no, no, it's not.
00:18:57What's going on?
00:18:58That scar,
00:19:00it's from my C-section.
00:19:03I have a daughter.
00:19:05Dakota.
00:19:06She's...
00:19:08also a freshman at Warren and Shared.
00:19:12I know, it's a lot to take in.
00:19:14I'm sorry.
00:19:15Wait, wait, wait, wait.
00:19:16Um, are you married?
00:19:18What?
00:19:19No!
00:19:21Look, I...
00:19:23I can't deny that I feel something for you,
00:19:26but...
00:19:27it's never going to work between us.
00:19:30I'm...
00:19:31I'm too old for you.
00:19:34It's...
00:19:36embarrassing for both of us.
00:19:44Embarrassing.
00:19:49Thank you for your help today.
00:19:51Yeah.
00:19:52Um...
00:20:02Okay, eyes on the prize.
00:20:06Okay.
00:20:12Forget about Julian.
00:20:13Focus on Gabriella.
00:20:15She broke up with him.
00:20:16All I need to do is convince her to take him back.
00:20:27Do you mind?
00:20:28Yes, we do mind.
00:20:32I brought cookies.
00:20:34Yes, please.
00:20:57And suddenly I'm all amped up for economics.
00:21:02Mm-hmm.
00:21:03He is the whole meal.
00:21:05I know.
00:21:06Damn, they're not kidding.
00:21:08Hello, all you beautiful people.
00:21:09It's nice to see you.
00:21:10I am Professor Nelson, back from my conference.
00:21:13Apologies about missing the first day.
00:21:15I guess you could say the demand for me was a bit bigger than my supply.
00:21:20Sorry, just hitting you with a little economics humor.
00:21:23He thinks it's a joke.
00:21:32Katelyn?
00:21:34Um...
00:21:35Katelyn West?
00:21:36Is that you?
00:21:39Yes.
00:21:40Hi.
00:21:43Oh, I'm sorry.
00:21:44I might not be West anymore.
00:21:45I'm still West.
00:21:46Or I made my way back out West.
00:21:51Oh, yikes.
00:21:52You don't remember me, do you?
00:21:54Ross, my roommate dated yours freshman year at Yale.
00:21:59You went to Yale?
00:22:00Oh, he's the scrawny guy who was always asking me if I dumped Frank yet.
00:22:06Ross?
00:22:08Yeah, I didn't even recognize you.
00:22:09Wow, you look so different.
00:22:12Yeah, late bloomer.
00:22:17So, um...
00:22:18Did you dump Frank?
00:22:22Nice.
00:22:24Let's, uh...
00:22:25Let's catch up after class, yeah?
00:22:31Okay, what gives?
00:22:33Yale?
00:22:34Are you a low-key genius?
00:22:36Oh, it's not much of a story.
00:22:38I went to school there for a semester for dance,
00:22:41but I dropped out because I got pregnant.
00:22:44You got accepted to Yale for dance?
00:22:47You're my hero.
00:22:48Yeah, and you're a mad-bowling sexy professor.
00:22:51I mean, look at him!
00:22:55Katelyn!
00:22:56You're on a mission.
00:22:58Katelyn!
00:22:59You're on a mission.
00:23:00Oh, you know, you and Julian looked mighty cozy yesterday.
00:23:05You two would make a really cute couple.
00:23:07Yeah, they totes were a super cute couple.
00:23:11It got stale.
00:23:13I broke things off to spice things up.
00:23:16Might be time again, though.
00:23:18Poor guy looks miserable.
00:23:20You should invite him to the Crisis Agenda concert.
00:23:24I overheard him saying how much he wants to go.
00:23:27That's such a good idea.
00:23:39Yeah, that'd be great.
00:23:40I want to work on VIP tickets.
00:23:42You want to work me a pass?
00:23:44VIP tickets?
00:23:48Katelyn!
00:23:50Katelyn!
00:23:53I am so sorry for acting so weird the other day.
00:23:57I understand.
00:23:58That was a lot to take in.
00:24:01Look, we made the right choice.
00:24:03No, you didn't give me a choice.
00:24:05None of that stuff matters to me.
00:24:07I need someone more my age, Julian.
00:24:09It matters to me.
00:24:11What's going on here?
00:24:12Feels like I walked into something.
00:24:14Homework stuff.
00:24:15Julian marked my paper about Furbies.
00:24:17He is too young to remember that fiasco.
00:24:21And I was just telling her that since homework grades aren't recorded,
00:24:25it doesn't matter.
00:24:28Well, sounds like it's all settled.
00:24:30Now, Katelyn, I have a bone to pick with you.
00:24:32Oh, do you?
00:24:34Yes, you were about to leave before I could get the chance to ask you out.
00:24:41For a coffee.
00:24:42You know, to catch up his old habits.
00:24:44You know, to catch up his old friends.
00:24:46I would never date a student.
00:24:47That would be unethical.
00:24:53Don't let me stand in the way of our union.
00:25:01Great.
00:25:02Another hot guy you aren't allowed to date, Katelyn.
00:25:07Aw, he really does seem into me.
00:25:11And that shirt.
00:25:12Rolled up sleeves.
00:25:14My kryptonite.
00:25:16Okay, he's my professor, but coffee is harmless, right?
00:25:23Coffee would be nice.
00:25:26Great.
00:25:27I can't wait.
00:25:30Put your number in my phone.
00:25:34Oh, shoot.
00:25:35I think I locked it.
00:25:36Sorry, I'm bad with androids.
00:25:41Okay.
00:25:48See you later.
00:25:55Cheers.
00:25:56May it be full of surprises.
00:25:58Ho, ho, ho.
00:26:00I have a gift for you.
00:26:01Jessica, you have inherited this mansion, along with your father's business, empire, and assets worth over a billion dollars.
00:26:09I just need a signature from you.
00:26:11Oh, and a hundred and five million dollars in cash.
00:26:18We're rich!
00:26:19Let me hold on to you. I have for you a baby.
00:26:23You know, my whole life, I grew up in foster care, moving from place to place, and now I finally have a place that I can call home.
00:26:34It must feel great to win the jackpot.
00:26:36No, my only wish is to reunite with my mother.
00:26:40You bastard child. You will never reunite with your mother. We made sure that that whore is gone forever.
00:26:46My mother is gone because of you?
00:26:48Well, we had a little help from James Thornton, the most powerful man in the Thornton family.
00:26:55Time for you to go back to your poor little country, sis.
00:26:59Jessica Miller, USCIS. Your visa expired years ago. You're being deported.
00:27:04What? No, there must be some mistake. Adrian, didn't you help me file my immigration paperwork?
00:27:10Whoops. Well, I guess I screwed up.
00:27:13What?
00:27:15Hey, baby.
00:27:17Adrian, are you cheating on me? With her?
00:27:21Two's the right side, babe. You'll never win against them.
00:27:24It's true.
00:27:25According to the terms of the will, non-citizens are not eligible to inherit the estate.
00:27:31Everything will pass through your next of kin, Lisa and Kristen Miller.
00:27:36You thought you could get rich overnight? Keep dreaming.
00:27:41Seriously?
00:27:50Boss, it's urgent. They're about to deport a woman named Jessica Miller.
00:27:55Jessica Miller? It's her.
00:27:59Jessica?
00:28:08Oh, thank God you're alive.
00:28:09She's so beautiful and kind. The girl I've always dreamed of.
00:28:13She saved my life once. I owe her.
00:28:19Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
00:28:21Jessica?
00:28:23Do I know you?
00:28:24She doesn't remember me.
00:28:30I'm Daniel. You're a lawyer. Just pretend we know each other. I can get you out of here.
00:28:35We've spoken to the judge, and Miss Miller should be released immediately.
00:28:40We can't deport her. She is about to marry a U.S. citizen.
00:28:46Who's the lucky guy?
00:28:47I am. I'm marrying her.
00:28:55A fake marriage won't save her.
00:28:57Our marriage is real.
00:28:58Yeah, 100% real.
00:29:01Prove it, then.
00:29:08That's it? You call that a kiss?
00:29:12No.
00:29:23Need more proof, officer?
00:29:24Look, this guy is a lawyer to some of the most important families in town.
00:29:30And if you don't let her go, then he'll make sure you lose your damn job.
00:29:33Fine, you can have her.
00:29:35Thank you, officer.
00:29:37Guys, I think we're good.
00:29:41It's not over.
00:29:45We'll be checking your marital status and conducting interviews.
00:29:48And there are a few very specific requirements you should know.
00:29:52Make sure you two are staying in the same house and sleeping in the same bed.
00:29:56Or it's game over.
00:29:59Well, thank you.
00:30:04Thank you for the rescue.
00:30:09Oh, it's no problem.
00:30:11But, um, Daniel, would you marry me?
00:30:18Oh, Jessica, I've waited for this moment for five years.
00:30:21I mean, it would only be a contract marriage.
00:30:25But once I get my green card, I'll inherit my father's business empire.
00:30:30And I'll share half of it with you.
00:30:33Even your misunderstanding looks so cute. I only want you, Jessica.
00:30:38But before I get my green card, you're going to have to help me deal with my stepsister and her mom.
00:30:45They're trying to get rid of me.
00:30:47And they've already stolen my fortune.
00:30:49And they made my mother disappear.
00:30:54Deal.
00:30:55What? That's it?
00:30:59This lily stands for loyalties and new beginnings.
00:31:03Something that I want with you.
00:31:05Now, I know it's rushed.
00:31:08But I promise you, I will buy you a proper ring soon.
00:31:21From now on, let's make every Christmas our own.
00:31:24Fill it full of memories.
00:31:29Ugh.
00:31:39You can't do this!
00:31:41Jess, it's okay. Just wait here. I'll handle it.
00:31:49What?
00:31:51Why are you helping that girl? Kristen Miller is our ally.
00:31:54And she wants her the hell out of this picture.
00:31:57It's too late, Dad. We already got married.
00:31:59Are you insane? Did you forget you're supposed to marry Ashley?
00:32:06Daniel Thornton.
00:32:09My mother is gone because of you?
00:32:11Well, we had a little help from James Thornton, the most powerful man in the Thornton family.
00:32:18I recognize that face. From the newspaper, that was James Thornton.
00:32:24From the Thornton family. The family responsible for my mother's disappearance.
00:32:32Stop telling me what I can and cannot do.
00:32:34She saved my life. I owe it to her.
00:32:36Grow the hell up, Daniel.
00:32:38You need to remember your position as the heir to our family.
00:32:42And you need to divorce that girl. Now.
00:32:45I'm doing this to clean your mess up.
00:32:47Just leave us alone.
00:32:56Sorry about that.
00:32:57Is your name Daniel Thornton?
00:33:02Yeah.
00:33:03Thornton family are responsible for the disappearance of my mother.
00:33:07I have been searching for her my entire life.
00:33:11Jess.
00:33:12Yeah?
00:33:13I can explain.
00:33:14I'm not marrying Thornton.
00:33:15Wait, wait, wait, Jess, Jess.
00:33:17I'm not who you think I am. I have nothing to do with that family.
00:33:20Oh, really? Because your name is right here on the marriage certificate.
00:33:25I share the last name as Thornton, but I am not one of them.
00:33:29Thornton is a common name. Just an ordinary guy.
00:33:32Really? Well, I don't believe you.
00:33:33I saw you talking to James Thornton.
00:33:36Is he your father?
00:33:39Is he your father?
00:33:41No, he's not my father.
00:33:42No, he's not my father.
00:33:43He was threatening to drive you out of the country, and I was not going to have anything to do with it.
00:33:46Jess.
00:33:47I'm on your side.
00:33:49You're not one of them. I'm really sorry.
00:33:55It's okay. Don't worry about it.
00:34:01Well, you have a nice apartment.
00:34:04Whoa.
00:34:07Is that your Labrador?
00:34:08That looks exactly like mine.
00:34:10I got mine as a Christmas present when I was nine.
00:34:12No way. I got mine as a Christmas present when I was nine. That's crazy.
00:34:21Jess, we're going to have to sleep in the same room together just in case immigration ambush us.
00:34:25Yeah, but are you sure you're okay sleeping on the carpet? I mean, you've done so much for me already, and I just...
00:34:32Jess, please. I insist. We made a deal, remember?
00:34:36I also want to thank you for giving me the chance to get rich.
00:34:42It's okay, Daniel.
00:34:43Yeah.
00:35:04Jess?
00:35:07I'm crying, aren't I?
00:35:09No. No, no, no. I was just passing by and just... Do you need anything?
00:35:18I was joking. Yeah, could you pass me the towel that's just hanging up next to the door?
00:35:25Yeah, sure, sure.
00:35:39Oh my god.
00:35:41What?
00:35:42I just got fired.
00:35:43What?
00:35:46Wait, Jess. Let me go with you.
00:35:51Yeah.
00:36:03Sam, please. Don't fire me.
00:36:05I'm sorry, Jess, but your immigration issue put us in a tough spot.
00:36:11I worked for this company for years.
00:36:14I'm sorry, Jess. There's nothing I can do. I'm sorry.
00:36:25Look who's here. Someone who just got fired. This suits you.
00:36:32It was you. I should have known you were behind this.
00:36:36I'm not going to let you stay here and ruin things. I'm going to take away everything you have, sister.
00:36:46You just made a big mistake, sir.
00:36:48Who are you?
00:36:49My name is Daniel Thornton, son of James Thornton, the chairman of Thornton Enterprise.
00:36:56Oh, Mr. Thornton. Welcome. What brings you here?
00:37:04Well, I have some good news for you. Jessica Miller, she's just closed a billion dollar deal. Take a look.
00:37:13Take a look.
00:37:24Oh my God.
00:37:30It's real.
00:37:31Absolutely. With her hard work and dedication, she's made this possible.
00:37:36It's a real shame you're going to lose such a valuable employee.
00:37:40Oh, Mr. Thornton, I have made a huge mistake. Jessica will stay.
00:37:50Good. And make sure nobody knows we had this conversation.
00:38:00Jessica, you should have told me.
00:38:06What are you talking about, Sam?
00:38:08Jessica, you secured a huge deal for the company. Thank you.
00:38:13Did you not just fire her?
00:38:15I changed my mind. Jessica's staying. Actually, she's being promoted to sales manager.
00:38:24Can't afford to lose someone as valuable as like her.
00:38:28Great. Thanks, Sam. This is not over.
00:38:35I can't believe it. Jessica kept her job and she gets promoted.
00:38:40Don't worry, Lisa. I just spoke with James Thornton and he had the lawyer change the will in our favor. Jessica will get nothing.
00:38:49Oh my God. That's fantastic.
00:39:04No way.
00:39:11Jessica, how's work? Did you get your job back?
00:39:15Daniel, I need a lawyer.
00:39:24Well, look who decided to show up.
00:39:28Too bad for you, Jess. Turns out Daddy's will left you nothing.
00:39:32I knew all along Robert wouldn't leave anything for this little pathetic bastard child. You are out of luck.
00:39:41Well, that's a lie. You showed me the will. And I signed the documents.
00:39:47I'm sorry, Jessica. I've just discovered a revised will that supports Kristen and Lisa's claims.
00:39:56Mr. Thornton.
00:39:57Who is this?
00:39:58Who is this?
00:39:59He's my lawyer. And a damn good one.
00:40:02Oh. You know, Jess, I didn't realize you had enough money to pay for a fancy little lawyer. You sleep with him?
00:40:10Patrick, can I have a word with you outside?
00:40:14Talk all you want. It won't change anything.
00:40:24Alright, Patrick. I'm going to keep this short and sweet.
00:40:27I know you changed the will to favor Kristen and Lisa.
00:40:30I know what you're talking about, Mr. Thornton. The revised will's solid.
00:40:34Ted found an email exchange with my father. Here, take a look.
00:40:39You've been caught, Patrick. Honor of the will, I'll report you to the Bar Association. You'll lose your license and any chance of practicing law again.
00:40:47That goes against your father's wishes. You don't understand the position you put me in.
00:40:51I'll deal with my father. Don't you worry about that. You, just worry about doing the right thing.
00:41:02Um, this revised will is a fake. The original will's stamped.
00:41:06What the hell are you doing?
00:41:07He's doing the right thing.
00:41:11Jessica, you've gotten your inheritance back. Congratulations.
00:41:16Oh. My. God.
00:41:19Patrick, do what you are supposed to do or James will make sure you face the consequences.
00:41:27Don't listen to her, Patrick. I'll deal with James Thornton.
00:41:30Who the hell do you think you are? James Thornton is one of the most powerful men in this town.
00:41:37I sure can. Isn't that right, Patrick?
00:41:40Yes. The original will stands.
00:41:43No! You are crazy!
00:41:45No, I'm not. According to the original will, Jessica stands to inherit this mansion. Kristen, you're out.
00:41:53I think you two should leave.
00:41:54You homewrecker. Just like your mother.
00:41:58I will not allow violence.
00:42:01I didn't come here to argue over a house and assets. I came here to be recognized as an actual member of this family.
00:42:10Yeah, well it's easy for you to say you're getting everything.
00:42:12You don't know how lucky you are, Lisa! You grew up with a father who loved you.
00:42:17I had none. And you took my mother away from me and I still don't know where she is!
00:42:24You two don't deserve this mansion. And I would rather give it away to charity than to see the two of you living in it.
00:42:33You two should pack your things up. You have one week to leave this house.
00:42:45What the hell were you thinking? Sabotaging my plan?
00:42:49I was just doing the right thing.
00:42:51The right thing? Going against me?
00:42:54Kristen Miller has got no power anymore.
00:42:57Her game is over.
00:42:58I'm sure you didn't come all this way just to argue with me. So what do you want?
00:43:04I just want Jessica to get her mom back.
00:43:08Interesting.
00:43:12What's in it for me?
00:43:14Once Jessica gets her mom back, I'll do whatever you want.
00:43:18Whatever I want? Like what exactly?
00:43:21I'll marry Ashley.
00:43:23You'll marry Ashley?
00:43:25Yeah.
00:43:26You're willing to do that?
00:43:28Yeah, I am. But only if she's reunited with her mother.
00:43:35Okay. Deal. I'll make the arrangements. So you're really in love with this one, huh?
00:43:42Yeah.
00:43:43I'm sure you are.
00:43:45I'll make the arrangements. So you're really in love with this one, huh?
00:43:49Yeah. I am.
00:43:52Okay, kid. I sure hope she's worth it.
00:43:57She is.
00:44:02What's wrong?
00:44:03We have a guest.
00:44:07Mr. Thornton. Good to see you again. Interview time.
00:44:12Great.
00:44:15When did you two meet?
00:44:17We met at a friend's party two years ago.
00:44:21What do you say, Jessica?
00:44:24Oh, yeah.
00:44:26Interesting. And when did you decide to get married?
00:44:31Eight months ago.
00:44:33Six months or eight months? Which one is it?
00:44:35Yeah, eight months ago. Sorry, I'm always getting mixed up.
00:44:40Sure. Easy mistake to make. And what's your anniversary date?
00:44:46March 15th.
00:44:48March 15th. All right. Thank you.
00:44:55Uh, that's it?
00:44:57Yes, Mr. Thornton. I have everything I need. I'll report back to the judges.
00:45:03Oh, wait. This.
00:45:08How did we do in there?
00:45:12It was pretty bad.
00:45:15Look, I'm the son of James Thornton.
00:45:19I know who you are.
00:45:23Okay.
00:45:26You want to bribe me?
00:45:28Yes.
00:45:29I can't be bribed.
00:45:30Here's one million dollars.
00:45:36Two million dollars.
00:45:38Right.
00:45:42Three million dollars.
00:45:45It's tempting, but like I said, you can't bribe me.
00:45:48Please. Can you just give us one more week to prepare?
00:45:52I really want to be with this woman. She means the world to me. She saved my life.
00:45:57I'm not going to take your money, but I'll give you one week. Make it count.
00:46:03Next time I want to see some genuine affection between you two.
00:46:06If anything seems a bit off, your game's up.
00:46:09Of course.
00:46:11I'm that good, Mr. Daniel. Don't try and fool me.
00:46:19She gave us another chance.
00:46:20Oh, thank God.
00:46:21We have one week to get our story straight.
00:46:24Thank you, Daniel. You've been very, very helpful today.
00:46:43Now, I wanted to make our first Christmas special, so...
00:46:47I did a little digging, and I found this.
00:46:49This tree's amazing.
00:46:56What happened?
00:46:59Let me have a look.
00:47:01What happened?
00:47:04Let me have a look.
00:47:31Um...
00:47:33I have a festive gift for you two.
00:47:46Wow.
00:47:48Jess, you look gorgeous.
00:47:51You look gorgeous.
00:47:58And then I told him that's not how you negotiate.
00:48:01You did it!
00:48:02You did it.
00:48:21What?
00:48:31I'm gonna skip you, Rob.
00:48:33Maybe.
00:48:35Maybe not.
00:48:45And that is how you negotiate.
00:48:49Who's she?
00:48:51Your only fan.
00:49:06Stop.
00:49:08Hold on, I've got this.
00:49:19What?
00:49:29That watch looks familiar.
00:49:33No, I've seen this before. In a magazine.
00:49:37It looks like one of those Thornton family watches.
00:49:45Is it real?
00:49:47No, it's fake.
00:49:53You wore a fake watch?
00:49:54Yeah.
00:50:05I'm so happy, Jess.
00:50:11There's also something I need to tell you about your mom.
00:50:17I guess...
00:50:19Can I have to tell you later?
00:50:29Oh my god.
00:50:31Did I just sleep with Daniel last night?
00:50:34I told him it would only be a contract marriage.
00:50:46Morning.
00:50:47This is the most beautiful morning that I've ever had.
00:50:50Daniel, I'm...
00:50:52I'm so sorry about last night. It was...
00:50:56It wasn't supposed to happen and I promise it will never happen again.
00:51:09You must be Lillian.
00:51:10Yes, and you must be the groom, Mr. Langford.
00:51:12I am so glad that you're as late as I am.
00:51:14I'm Lillian. Pleasure to marry you.
00:51:16Yeah, pleasure too, but actually I'm Mr. Langford.
00:51:18Our wedding is starting, so let's go.
00:51:30Did you hear? The groom today is Rex Langford.
00:51:33He's one of the most famous villainous in the world.
00:51:35And he's a successful lawyer.
00:51:37The guy makes a fortune.
00:51:39And don't forget, he's drop-dead gorgeous, too.
00:51:41I hear women are literally lining up just to look at him.
00:51:44Whoever's marrying him is hit the jackpot.
00:52:01Alright.
00:52:03You promise to love, honor, and cherish this man in sickness and in health as long as you both shall live.
00:52:10Yes, I do.
00:52:12And you, sir?
00:52:14On behalf of Mr. Langford, I do.
00:52:20On behalf of Mr. Langford, I do.
00:52:24On behalf of Mr. Langford, he's not the groom?
00:52:27LA's most eligible bachelor since ascending into his own wedding.
00:52:30I heard she's just after his money.
00:52:32I don't blame him. Mr. Langford is above all this.
00:52:35Mr. Langford is above all this.
00:52:38Will you just shut up?
00:52:40Alright, Miss Blake.
00:52:42Mr. Langford's representative.
00:52:44You may now exchange the rings.
00:52:55I now pronounce you husband and wife.
00:52:58Mr. Langford's representative, you may now kiss the bride.
00:53:06What?
00:53:18On behalf of myself?
00:53:20Hell no.
00:53:21Just let me explain.
00:53:23I'm Mr. Langford's lawyer.
00:53:25He got caught up in a work emergency.
00:53:27He's just running a little bit late.
00:53:28Oh, a work emergency.
00:53:30On the day of his wedding?
00:53:36Now please tell him to send the money immediately.
00:53:38My brother needs it for his surgery.
00:54:05Oh!
00:54:31Are you okay?
00:54:32Yeah, I'm fine.
00:54:36Oh, nice suit.
00:54:38You must be up next.
00:54:40Sorry for the delay.
00:54:44Well, wishes on your wedding.
00:54:51Mr. Langford, you're here.
00:54:53I'm sorry, but the wedding is already over.
00:54:56Over?
00:54:57What are you talking about?
00:55:00Did she say anything?
00:55:02She said to transfer the three of our money.
00:55:07Of course.
00:55:09It's always about the money.
00:55:12I'm only doing this for my grandmother's sake.
00:55:14Tell her I'm going to work on a business.
00:55:16At least until my grandmother's health improves.
00:55:19And have a divorce then.
00:55:21Of course, Mr. Langford.
00:55:23Also, after this matter is resolved, I'm going to be stepping down.
00:55:28Fiona's going to be taking over my position.
00:55:31Safe travels.
00:55:52Oh, boss, you finally came back!
00:55:54That cross-border acquisition was truly a masterpiece.
00:55:57My only regret is that your team there didn't have a woman.
00:56:00I wonder if you've truly been taken care of over these years.
00:56:03What's my schedule, Fiona?
00:56:05Right, sir, of course.
00:56:07Since you've been traveling all day, I cleared it.
00:56:09Except for a rather important little thing.
00:56:12And what would that be?
00:56:14Your divorce.
00:56:18Mr. and Mrs. Langford, that woman hasn't shown her face in these three years.
00:56:22She hasn't cared about you at all.
00:56:24A successful man like you deserves a caring woman to be your wife.
00:56:28Someone like...
00:56:29Fiona, you're my assistant. I make the decisions.
00:56:32Did Edward teach you nothing?
00:56:34Hey.
00:56:35And keep your distance.
00:56:36I like your perfume.
00:56:37That works.
00:56:48It's her.
00:56:50This is your fifth birthday event in a month.
00:56:53Why do you always get to be the center of attention?
00:56:55Because I bring in the most cash and bosses I need.
00:56:58Are you still sending money to that mysterious husband of yours?
00:57:01Yes.
00:57:02But, technically, I'm paying him back.
00:57:04And once I do, I can start my new life.
00:57:09Hey, sweetheart.
00:57:10Be a dear and give me some tail.
00:57:13Very funny, sir.
00:57:14But to participate in the event, you have to pay the price.
00:57:18We are the event, Sugar Lips.
00:57:21We got everything we need to have a great time.
00:57:23So may I enjoy your food, sir?
00:57:25Yes, sir.
00:57:27You're welcome.
00:57:28You're welcome.
00:57:37May I enjoy your food, sir?
00:57:38I'm sorry, sir.
00:57:39But there's a $10,000 minimum liquor purchase.
00:57:43Oh, so high and mighty, you stupid slut.
00:57:47Milking men in the dark for all their worth.
00:57:49Shadow Living.
00:57:51A fitting name for a manipulative whore.
00:57:54Well, this is the Shadow Bar.
00:57:55There's Shadow Coco, Shadow Rose.
00:57:57Even Shadow Bear.
00:57:59If that's what you're into.
00:58:00Just name your goddamn price.
00:58:02My price?
00:58:03I can promise you you're not going to want to pay it.
00:58:05But if you agree to cut off your own dick, I'll give you a 20% discount.
00:58:09Bitch.
00:58:10Time to celebrate.
00:58:13Our birthday girl, Shadow Lily, is ready to party!
00:58:17And to kick the night off, she already received her first gift.
00:58:23100 bottles of Ace of Spades!
00:58:29Woo!
00:58:32Oh, that's $500,000 for really good stuff.
00:58:39Who's this guy?
00:58:43Happy birthday, Lily.
00:58:47Happy birthday, Lily.
00:58:49Back off, man.
00:58:51I got dibs.
00:58:52Waiting line.
00:58:53You did this?
00:58:55Trying to get me to up my limit?
00:58:56Do you know the number for 911?
00:58:59Trying to take care of yourself before a beatdown?
00:59:01You're smarter than you look, pal.
00:59:03It's not for me.
00:59:04It's for you.
00:59:17It's good to see you again.
00:59:19What?
00:59:30Do you know what comes down to this?
00:59:36Damn it.
00:59:44What happened in the last three years to make her so desperate?
00:59:51Boss, the team is waiting for you in the VIP lounge.
00:59:54Tell them I'll pay for everything.
00:59:56Wait, but I...
01:00:02Well, looks like you're the big winner tonight.
01:00:06You've won my special service.
01:00:08Would you like me to get started now?
01:00:09She's an escort?
01:00:11Here?
01:00:15Are you sure that's a good idea?
01:00:17Yeah, I don't see a problem with it.
01:00:18We can do it right here.
01:00:23I just...
01:00:26I...
01:00:30Why is he so blurry?
01:00:32Hey, hey, hey!
01:00:53Ugh.
01:01:05How did I get here?
01:01:09Oh.
01:01:10You're awake.
01:01:16What happened?
01:01:19Did we...
01:01:20Last night?
01:01:21What are you saying?
01:01:22You were completely out of it.
01:01:23I had to bring you back here.
01:01:26Ow.
01:01:27My back.
01:01:29You really put me through it last night.
01:01:31Your back?
01:01:32Did I really go that far?
01:01:34Don't worry.
01:01:35I have been farther.
01:01:37Anyway, what happened last night?
01:01:45An actual invoice?
01:01:49I didn't know these kind of services had gone that professional.
01:01:54Well, I run a professional business.
01:01:56So, I don't want to get arrested for tax evasion.
01:02:13Lily Blake.
01:02:14Why does that name sound so familiar?
01:02:16I'm sorry, but the wedding is already over.
01:02:18She said to transfer the agreed upon money.
01:02:32Lily Blake.
01:02:33Why does that name sound so familiar?
01:02:44Mr. Langford.
01:02:54Mr. Langford, I believe that there's a matter of utmost importance.
01:02:59And what would that be?
01:03:06It's about your wife.
01:03:09She only married you for your money and she continues to leech off of your name without a word.
01:03:14She hasn't been in contact with anyone?
01:03:16At all?
01:03:17No.
01:03:18Nothing.
01:03:21Why would Grandma choose her?
01:03:23You're married to a stranger.
01:03:26Isn't it holding you back from being with a woman you may really want?
01:03:33Mr. Langford, you need to track down Lily and end this.
01:03:38I need to see Lily.
01:03:50Where's the woman calling herself Shadow Lily?
01:03:53Show your scant face!
01:03:56Is it you?
01:03:58You homewrecker!
01:04:00Hey!
01:04:06That's the ugly bitch whose tricks you've been falling for?
01:04:08Wasting all our savings on?
01:04:10Excuse me, I think that you have the wrong idea.
01:04:13Sluts like you deserve to be slapped.
01:04:19Hey!
01:04:20Let it go!
01:04:22So sorry, Mr. Langford.
01:04:23Apologies for the disturbance.
01:04:25You filthy bitch!
01:04:27Let it go!
01:04:28Whore deserves it!
01:04:30Do something!
01:04:31You're such a wimp!
01:04:33Slut!
01:04:36Thank you for saving me.
01:04:38Twice now.
01:04:46You don't belong in a place like this.
01:04:48I work for a great company.
01:04:50I want you to give me a call.
01:04:51I want to help you out.
01:04:58Starry law firm, huh?
01:05:00Must be a very different world from this one.
01:05:02I'm not cut out for it.
01:05:03You won't even consider it?
01:05:05Judging my job?
01:05:07No job is inherently better than any other.
01:05:10I work very hard.
01:05:12And I'm extremely good at what I do.
01:05:14Sorry, I'm kind of exhausted.
01:05:16I have a night shift later.
01:05:18So I'm going to head out, but thank you.
01:05:21Bye.
01:05:22See ya.
01:05:27I want to buy.
01:05:29What can I do you for?
01:05:32This bar.
01:05:33I want to buy this bar.
01:05:36Mr. Langford, the world is dying to know.
01:05:39Why would a CEO and chief attorney of the world's leading law firm suddenly buy a bar?
01:05:45Well, I like to dedicate myself fully to my pursuits.
01:05:48But sometimes it just blinds you to other opportunities.
01:05:54I'm taking a risk, stepping outside my comfort zone, but I think that this will pay off.
01:06:01What is he talking about?
01:06:06Switching things up a bit, your illustrious love life is often the topic of public conversation.
01:06:13As the city's top eligible bachelor, what do you look for in a partner?
01:06:25I like an independent woman.
01:06:28And full of surprises.
01:06:32I find that love is often full of surprises.
01:06:38And it's not a list of traits, it's a feeling.
01:06:43And when you meet that special someone, you just know.
01:06:54Mr. Langford, you're such an honest and impressive man.
