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