00:00:00This may be full of surprises.
00:00:03Ho, ho, ho!
00:00:04I have a gift for you.
00:00:06Along with your father's business empire and assets worth over a billion dollars.
00:00:10I just need a signature from you.
00:00:12Oh, and a hundred and five million dollars in cash.
00:00:19We're- we're friends!
00:00:21Let me hold onto you a bit for you, baby.
00:00:23Yeah.
00:00:24You know, my whole life,
00:00:26I grew up in foster care.
00:00:29Moving from place to place, and...
00:00:32Now I finally have a place that I- I can call home.
00:00:35It's real great to win a jackpot.
00:00:37No, my only wish is to- just to reunite with my mother.
00:00:41You bastard child!
00:00:43You will never reunite with your mother.
00:00:45We made sure that that whore is gone forever.
00:00:49My mother is gone because of you?
00:00:51Well, we had a little help from James Thornton,
00:00:54the most powerful man in the Thornton family.
00:00:58Time for you to go back to your poor little country, sis.
00:01:01It's not U.S.C.I.S.
00:01:03Your visa expired years ago.
00:01:05You're being deported.
00:01:06What? No, there must- must be some mistake.
00:01:09Adrian, didn't you help me file my immigration paperwork?
00:01:12Whoops.
00:01:14I guess I screwed up.
00:01:15What?
00:01:18Hey, baby.
00:01:19Hey.
00:01:20Adrian, are you cheating on me?
00:01:22With her?
00:01:23Choose the right side, babe.
00:01:25We'll never win against them.
00:01:26That's true.
00:01:27Um, according to the terms of the will,
00:01:30non-citizens are not eligible to inherit the estate.
00:01:34Everything will pass to your next of kin,
00:01:36Lisa and Kristen Miller.
00:01:39You thought you could get rich overnight?
00:01:42Keep dreaming.
00:01:44Seriously?
00:01:45Bon voyage, abscess.
00:01:52The boss is urgent.
00:01:54They're about to deport a woman named Jessica Miller.
00:01:57Jessica Miller?
00:02:00It's her.
00:02:09Oh, thank God you're alive.
00:02:10She's so beautiful and kind.
00:02:12The girl I've always dreamed of.
00:02:15She saved my life once.
00:02:16I owe her.
00:02:21Wait, wait, wait, wait.
00:02:23Jessica.
00:02:24Do I know you?
00:02:25She doesn't remember me.
00:02:28Come on.
00:02:32I'm Daniel.
00:02:33You're a lawyer.
00:02:34Just pretend we know each other.
00:02:35I can get you out of here.
00:02:37We spoke to the judge,
00:02:38and Miss Miller should be released immediately.
00:02:41We can't deport her.
00:02:44She is about to marry a U.S. citizen.
00:02:48Who's the lucky guy?
00:02:49I am.
00:02:51I'm marrying her.
00:02:57A fake marriage won't save her.
00:02:59Our marriage is real.
00:03:00Yeah.
00:03:01A hundred percent real.
00:03:03Prove it, then.
00:03:11That's it?
00:03:12You call that a kiss?
00:03:25Need more proof, officer?
00:03:26Look.
00:03:27This guy is a lawyer
00:03:29to some of the most important families in town.
00:03:32And if you don't let her go,
00:03:34he'll make sure you lose your damn job.
00:03:35Fine, you can have her.
00:03:37Thank you, officer.
00:03:43Guys, I think we're good.
00:03:46It's not over.
00:03:49We'll be checking your marital status
00:03:51and conducting interviews.
00:03:53And there are a few very specific requirements
00:03:55you should know.
00:03:56Make sure you two are staying in the same house
00:03:58and sleeping in the same bed.
00:04:00Or it's game over.
00:04:04Well...
00:04:07Thank you...
00:04:09for the rescue.
00:04:12Oh, it's no problem.
00:04:14But, um...
00:04:16Daniel...
00:04:17Would you...
00:04:19Would you marry me?
00:04:21Oh, Jessica.
00:04:22I've waited for this moment for five years.
00:04:24I mean, it would only be a...
00:04:26contract marriage.
00:04:28But once I get my green card,
00:04:30I'll inherit my father's business empire,
00:04:33and...
00:04:34I'll share half of it with you.
00:04:36Even your misunderstanding looks so cute.
00:04:38I only want you, Jessica.
00:04:41But, before I get my green card,
00:04:44you're gonna have to help me deal with my stepsister
00:04:46and her mom.
00:04:48They're trying to get rid of me.
00:04:49And they've already stolen my fortune.
00:04:52And they made my mother disappear.
00:04:55Deal.
00:04:57What?
00:04:59That's it?
00:05:02This lily stands for loyalties and new beginnings.
00:05:06Something that I want with you.
00:05:09Now, I know it's rushed.
00:05:12But I promise you,
00:05:14I will buy you a proper ring soon.
00:05:25From now on,
00:05:26let's make every Christmas our own.
00:05:28Fill it with memories.
00:05:42You... you can't do this!
00:05:44Jess, it's okay.
00:05:45Just wait here.
00:05:46I'll handle it.
00:05:52What?
00:05:54Why are you helping that girl?
00:05:56Kristen Miller is our ally,
00:05:58and she wants her the hell out of this picture.
00:06:00It's too late, Dad.
00:06:01We already got married.
00:06:03Are you insane?
00:06:05Did you forget you're supposed to marry Ashley?
00:06:09Daniel Thornton.
00:06:12My mother is gone because of you?
00:06:14Well, we had a little help from James Thornton,
00:06:17the most powerful man in the Thornton family.
00:06:21Wait.
00:06:22I recognize that face.
00:06:24From the newspaper, that was James Thornton.
00:06:27From the Thornton family, the family responsible
00:06:30for my mother's disappearance.
00:06:36Stop telling me what I can and cannot do.
00:06:38She saved my life.
00:06:39I owe it to her.
00:06:40Roll the hell up, Daniel.
00:06:42You need to remember your position as the heir to our family.
00:06:46And you need to divorce that girl.
00:06:48Now, I'm doing this to clean your mess up.
00:06:51Just leave us alone.
00:07:00Sorry about that.
00:07:02Is your name Daniel Thornton?
00:07:06Yeah.
00:07:09The Thornton family are responsible
00:07:11for the disappearance of my mother.
00:07:13I have been searching for her my entire life.
00:07:17Jess.
00:07:18No.
00:07:19I can explain.
00:07:20I'm not married to Thornton.
00:07:21Wait, wait, wait, Jess, Jess.
00:07:23I'm not who you think I am.
00:07:25I have nothing to do with that family.
00:07:26Oh, really? Because your name is right here
00:07:28on the marriage certificate.
00:07:31I share the last name with Thornton.
00:07:33I am not one of the Thorntons.
00:07:35I can't be just an ordinary girl.
00:07:37Really? Well, I don't believe you.
00:07:39I saw you talking to James Thornton.
00:07:42Is he your father?
00:07:45Is he your father?
00:07:47No, he's not my father.
00:07:48He was threatening to drive you out of the country
00:07:50and I was not going to have anything to do with it.
00:07:52Jess, I'm on your side.
00:07:55Cheers.
00:07:56May it be full of surprises.
00:07:58Ho, ho, ho.
00:08:00I have a gift for you.
00:08:01Jessica, you have inherited this mansion
00:08:04along with your father's business empire
00:08:06and assets worth over a billion dollars.
00:08:09I just need a signature from you.

00:15:30I share the last names, don't I?
00:15:32I am not one of them.
00:15:34Thornton is a common name. Just an ordinary girl.
00:15:36Really? Well, I don't believe you.
00:15:38I saw you talking to James Thornton.
00:15:41Is he your father?
00:15:44Is he your father?
00:15:46No, he's not my father.

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