Transcript
00:00:00Let's see. I'm Chris Parker. I'm 50. I spend most of my free time hiking and collecting
00:00:09climbing equipment. I have a son and a granddaughter on the way.
00:00:1550? God, are you that damn old?
00:00:17You said you're 52 on the dating app, and you're definitely 60.
00:00:21Boys will be boys, even in their 60s.
00:00:26We'll start with London, and then Paris, and then Rome.
00:00:29But all the way to Beijing. The three of us.
00:00:32Three of us?
00:00:33You, me, and my wife, of course.
00:00:35Your wife. But this is a date.
00:00:38My, oh my. You are absolutely stunning.
00:00:42What do you say we get together and have a baby before we get too old, shall we?
00:00:46God, I'd like to see you try.
00:00:47Good, because I always like to record.
00:00:53Excuse me, boss. It's time for your date. Should I leave this here, or...?
00:00:58Where is this from?
00:00:58Well, department store. Cheap as it gets.
00:01:00And the car?
00:01:01Once used.
00:01:02Excellent.
00:01:04Is there anything else you need?
00:01:05Just keep this quiet.
00:01:07Yes, boss.
00:01:08No one will ever find out that the chairman of Pete Klein is going as a date, as an ordinary
00:01:13Uber driver.
00:01:18Hi, I'm Jerry.
00:01:21What's with the glasses, Four Eyes? Are you blind?
00:01:24Who the hell wants to be with a sick old man?
00:01:28I'll need 60% of your wages each month, 30% will cover daily expenses, 30% will go to
00:01:37the bank to cover my mortgage.
00:01:38Oh, how generous. You left me 40%.
00:01:41No, that 40% is going straight to my account.
00:01:47I'm tired of an hour. What's that if you weren't overnight?
00:01:50Uh, I'm sorry. I'm actually looking for someone to marry.
00:01:54Half a million a month. Can you get yourself a book?
00:01:56I think it's...
00:02:01Hi. I'm Jerry Smith.
00:02:19Chris. Chris Parker.
00:02:21Let's get married.
00:02:23That's your pitch?
00:02:24I'm a very straightforward man.
00:02:26Lucky you.
00:02:28That is exactly my time.
00:02:31It's the time of year when Christmas calls.
00:02:35Songs by the fire and stories in bed.
00:02:38Elf on the shelf has a note to be read.
00:02:40All-time request, Joe.
00:02:42Cross are you by shipping.
00:02:44Oh, no, no, no.
00:02:45I've got it.
00:02:46If you like peanuts, you'll like...
00:02:50Mom, what are you doing here?
00:02:53It's always so good to see you two.
00:02:56How's work?
00:02:57Same boss. Still great.
00:03:00Wish I had more time off, though.
00:03:02And have you decided on a name for the baby?
00:03:05Yeah, actually...
00:03:08Um...
00:03:11It's Emma.
00:03:13You can't name her that.
00:03:16Emma's your sister's name.
00:03:18That's exactly why I like it.
00:03:20I know she's not around anymore, but I figured that she would appreciate that I named our baby daughter after her.
00:03:27No.
00:03:29That was your grandma's gift for her and her only.
00:03:33I mean, your father and sister have been gone for decades.
00:03:35Let's just let them stay in our memory and not try to replace...
00:03:38Mom!
00:03:39This is my house.
00:03:43I can't have you come in here and try to disrespect that.
00:03:47Sure.
00:03:48You'll get your respect when your daughter is old enough to talk, son.
00:03:52I can't imagine how Dad didn't get driven crazy by you.
00:03:58Don't you ever talk about me and your father like that.
00:04:03I'm a grown man.
00:04:04I have a family now.
00:04:06You can't just drop by and tell me what to do.
00:04:08Mom, you clearly need the help.
00:04:10Not from an overbearing, old, sad, crazy woman like you.
00:04:15Tom!
00:04:16That's too much.
00:04:20I'm sorry, Mom.
00:04:21I didn't mean to...
00:04:22So that's what you think of me, Chris?
00:04:27It's not like that.
00:04:29Take care of yourself, sweetheart.
00:04:31Mom.
00:04:31Mom, where are you going?
00:04:33Anywhere but here.
00:04:34It's raining outside.
00:04:35Please, just...
00:04:36I want to drown in your melancholy flies
00:04:39Or suck, Kate, in your temperamental mile
00:04:44I'm staying on the shore
00:04:46I'm keeping myself on the ground
00:04:49God damn it, you gotta be kidding me.
00:04:55God, I'm gonna freeze out here.
00:05:04What do you want?
00:05:15Chris?
00:05:16It's me.
00:05:17What's wrong?
00:05:18Did someone upset you?
00:05:19Jerry!
00:05:21No, no, it's nothing.
00:05:23Doesn't sound like nothing.
00:05:24What is better?
00:05:25Are you outside?
00:05:27My shitty car broke down in the middle of the woods.
00:05:30What?
00:05:31In this weather?
00:05:32In the middle of December?
00:05:33I'm going to pick you up.
00:05:34No, no, no.
00:05:35It's fine.
00:05:36It's no reason for you to freeze out here, too.
00:05:38Where are you?
00:05:39It's the war of Lincoln Road, I think.
00:05:43I'll be right there.
00:05:44Don't move.
00:05:50Go to Lincoln Road, now.
00:05:51Yeah, but how are you going to explain your identity?
00:05:55You know, what about me?
00:05:56An Uber driver's driver?
00:05:58Get out.
00:05:59I'll drive.
00:06:03Hey, baby.
00:06:14You need a ride?
00:06:16Oh, thank God.
00:06:19Hold on.
00:06:20Let me get the door for me.
00:06:21I go.
00:06:23You're the coffee bathed in light.
00:06:27I'm famous.
00:06:28So there's no use making reasons to refuse.
00:06:33There's any part of you.
00:06:36Part of you.
00:06:37And it takes it out of me
00:06:44That I have to watch as we break in perfectly
00:06:50Where to, m'lady?
00:06:56Driver makes the call, but somewhere warm, I'm frozen.
00:07:04My cabin is just down the road.
00:07:07We could stay there tonight.
00:07:09Yeah? Have a little honeymoon?
00:07:13Your wish is my command.
00:07:16All we need to do is take a warm shower, drink a shot of whiskey, and pray for a good night's sleep.
00:07:23Well, that's not all we need to do.
00:07:35Oh.
00:07:35Chris, you didn't have to.
00:07:40Oh, I could help.
00:07:42I'm almost done.
00:07:44Have a seat.
00:07:45I can...
00:07:46Have a seat.
00:07:47Okay.
00:07:48Okay.
00:07:49Okay.
00:07:50Okay.
00:07:52You didn't have to.
00:07:54Oh, I could help.
00:07:55I'm almost done.
00:07:57Have a seat.
00:07:58I can...
00:08:00Have a seat.
00:08:01Okay.
00:08:01Okay.
00:08:01Okay.
00:08:02What are you
00:08:32looking at?
00:08:40Have a seat.
00:08:44You're incredible.
00:08:51This is the best breakfast
00:08:54I've had in years.
00:08:55I'm flattered.
00:08:58You mentioned us going to the auction today.
00:09:00Is that still happening?
00:09:01Yes.
00:09:02And actually,
00:09:03we should start getting ready soon.
00:09:07Do I look okay?
00:09:09Like a dream.
00:09:10But
00:09:11I do have
00:09:13a small present
00:09:16for you.
00:09:19Jerry!
00:09:22This is beautiful.
00:09:24You're so sweet.
00:09:25Oh, I know, honey.
00:09:30Do you think I'm all over-dressed?
00:09:32Do you think I'm all over-dressed?
00:09:37Not at all.
00:09:39This is who you are.
00:09:40This is who you are.
00:09:53Don't be shy.
00:09:53I'm calling for a kiss.
00:09:55Come on.
00:09:56Wow, wow, wow.
00:09:57Look at this old mummy.
00:10:00Somebody bought her new bandages.
00:10:02Wow, wow, wow.
00:10:04Look at this old mummy.
00:10:06Somebody bought her new bandages.
00:10:09It lost.
00:10:09Hag.
00:10:10Looks like someone forgot her dentures today.
00:10:12Don't be jealous, darling.
00:10:14They're new and permanent.
00:10:16Jealous.
00:10:17Don't make me laugh.
00:10:19You disgusting old bitch.
00:10:22What is this, your new boy toy?
00:10:38Old and sick.
00:10:40Great taste.
00:10:42Come on, honey.
00:10:44What's her problem?
00:10:45Mia?
00:10:47She's been like that since high school.
00:10:48Always trying to be superior to everyone.
00:10:50but always falling short.

00:13:29Thank you very much.
00:13:30Everybody, please.
00:13:31A round of applause for the lovely couple.
00:13:34It means so much to me.
00:13:35It's so important.
00:13:36Oh, I'll pay you back later.
00:13:38It's my treat.
00:13:39I can't have my wife going home empty-handed.
00:13:41I'm flattered.
00:13:43But this is different.
00:13:46What's the matter?
00:13:48Let's go take a closer look.
00:13:52Ma'am, I needed to deliver this to you in person.
00:13:57It is the most expensive item I've ever sold.
00:14:01I'm very lucky.
00:14:04Merry Christmas.
00:14:05Thank you, sir.
00:14:10Is it the one you were looking for?
00:14:12Maybe.
00:14:14Are you all right?
00:14:16Breathe.
00:14:20Slowly.
00:14:25What happened?
00:14:26Is something wrong with it?
00:14:28Welcome back.
00:14:30This belonged to you?
00:14:32My late husband bought this for me many years ago.
00:14:36My most precious belonging.
00:14:40I thought I'd never see it again.
00:14:42Oh.
00:14:45I'm so sorry.
00:14:46I need one minute.
00:14:48Yeah.
00:14:52Okay.
00:14:59Oh, Tom.
00:15:00Look, look, look.
00:15:01The album stock that your dad bought me 20 years ago.
00:15:03I thought I lost it.
00:15:04I got a call from my friend at the auction.
00:15:07$70,000 for this?
00:15:09Are you losing your mind?
00:15:10No, Tom.
00:15:12No.
00:15:12You promised me that you would never touch climbing gear again.
00:15:15Tom, this is different.
00:15:17I don't fucking care.
00:15:18Please don't say that.
00:15:19They're dead.
00:15:20Dad and Emma are fucking dead.
00:15:26Maybe if you wouldn't have fucking supported their stupid hobby, they'd still be around.
00:15:32It was an accident.
00:15:33You can't blame it all on me.
00:15:35Is that not enough?
00:15:36What, are you going to take a new family up there to that death hike?
00:15:40Or are you going to wait until my daughter's born and then do the same to her?
00:15:43It was never my intention.
00:15:45Please don't say that.
00:15:48Look at me.
00:15:49You are never welcome in my home again.
00:15:52And if you want to go die, go die alone.
00:15:56No, Tom.
00:15:57Tom, wait!
00:16:06Chris!
00:16:08Chris!
00:16:09Chris!
00:16:10Chris!
00:16:12Chris!
00:16:13Chris!
00:16:14Chris, are you okay?
00:16:16What happened?
00:16:19It's fine.
00:16:21It's family quarrel.
00:16:23If this keeps happening,
00:16:24I'm going to need to have a little talk with your family.
00:16:27Oh, let me see that here.
00:16:28Come here.
00:16:29Oh.
00:16:31It stinks.
00:16:33How old's your daughter?
00:16:3522.
00:16:39Ever have any difficulties with her?
00:16:44I don't even know where to start.
00:16:50So glad I have you.
00:16:52Me too.
00:16:54What do you say we forget about those damn kids
00:16:58and go have a drink?
00:17:01How about that?
00:17:03Yeah, okay.
00:17:04I know a place.
00:17:07But you've got to have a good back.
00:17:08That is incredible.
00:17:17That is incredible.
00:17:24Everything all right?
00:17:26Yeah.
00:17:27Just feels like this isn't the first time I've been bowling.
00:17:31I've been bowling for a while.
00:17:33Have I bowled before?
00:17:34Um, I wouldn't know.
00:17:37Sometimes it's hard to recall memories.
00:17:41Early ones, especially.
00:17:44They all just kind of fall apart.
00:17:47Have you gotten that checked out?
00:17:48Yeah.
00:17:50Doctor says I'm fine.
00:17:51It's just...
00:17:52I guess the old gray matter is just seeing what it used to be.
00:17:55Oh, my God.
00:18:03Oh, my God.
00:18:05Oh, my God.
00:18:06What?
00:18:07Oh, my God.
00:18:09Chris, did you find yourself a pro?
00:18:11Great question.
00:18:12Jerry, this is my buddy Antoine.
00:18:14He owns this place.
00:18:16Antoine, this is Jerry.
00:18:18My husband.
00:18:19Your husband?
00:18:20Wow.
00:18:20That's interesting.
00:18:22I beg your pardon?
00:18:23I don't mean to be rude, but I haven't heard Chris say the word husband in, like, what?
00:18:29Two decades?
00:18:30Antoine.
00:18:32He was also in my high school gang.
00:18:33And if you can believe it, his mouth was even bigger back then.
00:18:37Well, welcome to my place.
00:18:39And there's only one rule here.
00:18:41Chris makes all the rules.
00:18:43Shut up, Antoine.
00:18:44You only say that when you're in trouble.
00:18:47And those two drinks on the house?
00:18:48Something must be really wrong.
00:18:50Well, did you guys ever hear of this real estate conglomerate called G5?
00:18:56They want to buy this place.
00:18:57So, take the money, go to Florida, meet some babes.
00:19:02We get a new bowling alley.
00:19:03Win-win.
00:19:04I thought about it, but they're only offering half the going rate.
00:19:10Oh, hell with them then.
00:19:11Sorry, Antoine, you're stuck with us.
00:19:13Yeah, but unless they do something to force me.
00:19:16Hmm.
00:19:17Hmm.
00:19:17Hmm.
00:19:18Hmm.
00:19:20Who's the boss?
00:19:27Who's the boss?
00:19:29That would be me.
00:19:31Whoa.
00:19:31Whoa.
00:19:32Can I help you?
00:19:33I'm Griffin.
00:19:34Boss of the Griffins.
00:19:36Open your register.
00:19:38We're taking your money.
00:19:39Look, that's not going to happen, man.
00:19:41Do or die, fat asses.
00:19:43Put that thing down.
00:19:45Shut your mouth, Grandma.
00:19:46Mind your shit or I'll blow them away.
00:19:48Robbery is one thing.
00:19:50Murder, you can't come back from that.
00:19:53We talking business, old bitch.
00:19:55Have Jesus Christ in this fucking neighborhood.
00:19:57When did Jesus pack a .45?
00:20:03I'll shoot you piece of shit.
00:20:05Nobody tells me what to do.
00:20:06Young man.
00:20:07Don't talk to me like a fucking teenager.
00:20:09This isn't the first time somebody's tried to rob this guy.
00:20:13Look, he may look soft, but he's not a coward.
00:20:16No means no.
00:20:17Shut the fuck up.
00:20:18Wait, let's talk business, okay?
00:20:24Bullying an old man?
00:20:26That's not how a leader acts, is it?
00:20:29What are you talking about?
00:20:30Move on.
00:20:32Take your business elsewhere.
00:20:33Bullshit.
00:20:34The fuck are you talking about?
00:20:35Griffin, the world doesn't work the way you think it does.
00:20:39It's much more complicated.
00:20:42I know Vlad.
00:20:44Vladimir Markov?
00:20:46You know who he is?
00:20:47I doubt you know who he is.
00:20:49He runs the other side of town.
00:20:50Like I said, the world's a complicated place.
00:20:54Now what would happen if Vladimir find out you're messing with some of his friends?
00:21:00How would that turn out for you?
00:21:04But don't worry.
00:21:06I got a better idea.
00:21:07One that doesn't end with you at the bottom of a river.
00:21:10What is it?
00:21:11The block between Mulberry Street and Lincoln has a ton of trust fund babies, right?
00:21:18Deep pockets and lots of addictions.
00:21:21You know what to do.
00:21:22Thank you, sir.
00:21:24Maybe we have your name?
00:21:25Fuck off.
00:21:26Now!
00:21:27Now!
00:21:27I think that'll keep busy for a while.
00:21:37So that's your secret?
00:21:38You're one of them?
00:21:39One of those bastards?
00:21:41No.
00:21:42Well, you just told them to go sell drugs.
00:21:45Are you crazy?
00:21:46Hang on.
00:21:46Wait, wait, wait.
00:21:47Don't be such a judgment so quickly.
00:21:49Do you know who lives on that block?
00:21:51Devin Jones and Alex Shaw.
00:21:54The mayor and the chief of police.
00:21:56Oh, my God.
00:21:58Two of the most conservative guys in town.
00:22:00Oh, they'll just love this dude slinging drugs outside his window.
00:22:03Wait, you just did that?
00:22:05Jesus Christ.
00:22:07You really are a bad boy.
00:22:09And Officer Alex happens to be one of my old friends.
00:22:13So, you better tell them these crazies are heading towards their neighborhood.
00:22:16Chris, I like this guy.
00:22:24Where'd you find him?
00:22:25At a random coffee shop.
00:22:27It's a long story.
00:22:28I bet it's a good one.
00:22:29With me?
00:22:29Always.
00:22:31You know, I'm just happy you found another good man.
00:22:35You know, it kind of reminds me of Jerry, your late husband.
00:22:42He doesn't look anything like him.
00:22:54No, not his looks.
00:22:55You know, his vibe.
00:22:57How he carries himself.
00:23:00What if Jerry never really died in that accident?
00:23:05What if Jerry never really died in that accident?
00:23:09No!
00:23:12Jerry, Jerry is dead.
00:23:19My bad.
00:23:21If he was alive, he would have come looking for me.
00:23:26Absolutely.
00:23:31Hey.
00:23:34You okay?
00:23:37I'm fine.
00:23:42You look different.
00:23:50I do?
00:23:51It must be all the excitement.
00:23:54Well, I am planning to have a Christmas dinner at my place.
00:23:59I want you to come meet all my family.
00:24:02Would you come?
00:24:02Of course.
00:24:04It would be my honor.
00:24:06Mom.
00:24:21Please.
00:24:22Come in.
00:24:23Please.
00:24:24Tom.
00:24:26I just want to quickly say...
00:24:28Mom.
00:24:28I'm so sorry about the other night.
00:24:30It's just, Tom's been working on a hard case and, you know, we have a daughter on the
00:24:36way and it's just been a lot of pressure.
00:24:38I'm really sorry what I said.
00:24:40It's okay.
00:24:42I made a lot of mistakes.
00:24:44And some of them, some of them I can't fix.
00:24:48But, I didn't come here to talk about the past.
00:24:54I came to tell you, I'm married.
00:24:58You're married?
00:25:00Uh, that's wonderful, Mom.
00:25:01He's the sweetest man.
00:25:02I know you're going to love him.
00:25:03And I want you to meet him at Christmas dinner.
00:25:06We would love that.
00:25:07Dad would be so happy.
00:25:10I mean, he was always getting out of trouble and I'm sure he's out there looking down with
00:25:14a smile, thinking someone has your back.
00:25:17Yeah, yeah.
00:25:19Of course.
00:25:21What is it?
00:25:23Something wrong?
00:25:24No, it's just...
00:25:25Tom, after all these years, if you ever saw your father again, do you think you'd recognize
00:25:32him?
00:25:32Yeah, of course I would.
00:25:35I mean, he's in that picture right there behind you.
00:25:37I mean, I look at him every day.
00:25:42I hope so.
00:25:43Anyway, it's getting late and I have to go, but I will see you guys at Christmas dinner?
00:25:50Yeah, of course.
00:25:51Yeah.
00:25:54Looking forward to it.
00:25:56Yeah, me too.
00:26:04Wine for the lady?
00:26:05But this place is cute.
00:26:08Is it new?
00:26:09Just opened.
00:26:10My daughter recommended it.
00:26:13Well, she has great taste.
00:26:15You must have raised her, Will.
00:26:17For the last 20 years, it's been her and I against the world.
00:26:22She's my angel.
00:26:24Can I tell you something?
00:26:26Of course.
00:26:26Sometimes I wish I had a girl instead of a boy.
00:26:30Boys don't think.
00:26:32At least not with their brains.
00:26:37Come on, John.
00:26:38Finish it.
00:26:43Speak of the devil.
00:26:45Emma?
00:26:47Dad?
00:26:52Emma.
00:26:54John?
00:26:55Dad, do not look at him like that.
00:26:57Look at me.
00:26:59Go.
00:27:01Emma, I told you.
00:27:03Stay away from this alcoholic.
00:27:05Can you just leave us alone?
00:27:07Okay, because my life and what I do with it is none of your business.
00:27:13You're free to date whoever you want, but not him.
00:27:16Remember what happened last time?
00:27:18John nearly burned our house down.
00:27:19That's my life and my business.
00:27:21Not to mention that he nearly got you killed.
00:27:23You know, where do you get off?
00:27:24Okay, because maybe if you knew the first thing about love,
00:27:31Mom wouldn't have ditched us 20 years ago.
00:27:36You don't know what you're talking about.
00:27:38I don't know what I'm talking about?
00:27:40Hmm.
00:27:41But if Mom didn't ditch us,
00:27:42then why is the only thing she left this old photo?
00:27:46Hmm?
00:27:46Hmm?
00:27:46Hmm?
00:27:46Hmm?
00:27:47Hmm?

00:40:54I'm not alone.
00:40:55We're at that point of my husband.
00:40:56What'd he do you want.
00:40:57I'm not alone.
00:40:59I'm not alone.
00:41:00I'm not alone.
00:41:01I'm not alone.
00:41:02What'd he do you want?
00:41:04I'm not alone.
00:41:05I'm just letting him fight.
00:41:07I'm not alone.
00:41:09I'm not alone.
00:41:10No, he's not alone.
00:41:11I'm not alone.
00:41:13I'm only one by one side.
00:41:14I didn't even know how to do this and I'm not alone.
00:41:16I'm not alone.
00:41:17Oh Susanna, don't cry for me, we had some good years ago, my baby, the world goes on, I sang my song, I won't miss.
00:41:47Oh come on, it's not the first time I've been in danger.
00:41:55Jerry, Jerry Smith, is that your name?
00:42:02Yes, since I was born.
00:42:05Do you remember?
00:42:09Lisa!
00:42:11Oh god, Lisa!
00:42:13Please wake up, Lisa!
00:42:15This reminds me of the day I had you 30 years ago.
00:42:27God, that hurt.
00:42:29Mom, this isn't helping.
00:42:31But we made it, didn't we?
00:42:33And so will Lisa.
00:42:35Hey, everything's gonna be alright.
00:42:39Doctor, who's Lisa and my baby?
00:42:47Mother and daughter are both safe and healthy.
00:42:49And at 12.05 December 25th, I'd say it's a Christmas miracle.
00:42:55However, Lisa did lose a lot of blood and she's very weak, so one of you needs to come with me.
00:43:01You go first.
00:43:03Yeah, I'm gonna check on Jerry.
00:43:07Mom, there's something that I need to tell you about Mr. Smith.
00:43:13You know him?
00:43:15Yeah, actually, I know him.
00:43:17Are you coming or not?
00:43:19Oh, sorry.
00:43:20Go.
00:43:21We'll talk later.
00:43:22Okay.
00:43:31Jerry.
00:43:35Jerry.
00:43:37Why does he look so different?
00:43:40Like my old Jerry.
00:43:43Jerry.
00:43:44I'm awake.
00:43:48What time is it?
00:43:49Five past midnight.
00:43:51Gosh, that late?
00:43:54One second, I need to make a call.
00:43:57I kept somebody waiting all day.
00:43:59Go ahead.
00:44:05Merry Christmas, my hero.
00:44:07Don't be late for the party tomorrow.
00:44:10We have a lot to talk about.
00:44:13Hand to God.
00:44:18I'll be there on time.
00:44:32One more kiss.
00:44:34Slowly this time.
00:44:36You nut.
00:44:38I'll be in the next episode.
00:44:39Go ahead.
00:44:41Go ahead.
00:44:42Nobody.
00:44:43I'll be there.
00:44:44You're welcome.
00:44:45Bye.
00:44:46Bye.
00:44:47Bye.
00:44:48Bye.
00:44:49Bye.
00:44:50Bye.
00:44:51Bye.
00:44:52Bye.
00:44:53Bye.
00:44:54Bye.
00:44:57Bye.
00:44:58Bye.
00:45:01Bye.
00:45:06Bye.
00:45:07John, Lisa, come in.
00:45:20I cannot believe you're here. Why did you stay in the hospital?
00:45:23I wasn't going to miss your Christmas party.
00:45:25And neither was your new granddaughter.
00:45:32What's her name?
00:45:34Chris, we named her after you, Mom.
00:45:40I am honored.
00:45:43Dr. Ken, Lisa needs some rest, so can she take your room?
00:45:47Of course. We'll wake you up for dinner.
00:45:49That'd be great. Thanks.
00:45:58Mom, I need to tell you something.
00:46:02Um, it's about Mr. Smith.
00:46:07What about him?
00:46:09Don't tell me you don't like him.
00:46:11No, I think he's great, really.
00:46:15Oh.
00:46:17Have a seat.
00:46:19Hey, Helen, how are you?
00:46:21Good, good. Are you coming?
00:46:23Uh-huh.
00:46:29Merry Christmas, Dad.
00:46:30Helen is not coming.
00:46:33Her husband hurt his back last night.
00:46:35He won't even be able to move today.
00:46:37Well, I'm glad that Aunt Helen and Uncle Greg are still in love.
00:46:41Yeah, have you ever seen that couple not be together?
00:46:43Hey, back to the point, uh, Mom.
00:46:45Oh.
00:46:46Oh.
00:46:47That thought.
00:46:48Oh.
00:47:05Merry Christmas.
00:47:06Merry Christmas, buddy.
00:47:08Ooh, look at all of this.
00:47:10Watch out.
00:47:11Be careful now.
00:47:12It's my special mac and cheese.
00:47:13Yes.
00:47:14Come on.
00:47:15All right.
00:47:16Yeah, you look nice.
00:47:17Thanks.
00:47:18Coming through.
00:47:20Tom, my man.
00:47:23Haven't seen you around the bowling alley lately.
00:47:25I know.
00:47:26We really missed you.
00:47:28Uh, but me and Lisa have been a little busy.
00:47:31Ah, a little too busy for his uncle, Antoine.
00:47:34We just had a baby.
00:47:36What?
00:47:37Yeah.
00:47:38Oh, my God.
00:47:39Congratulations.
00:47:42Mom?
00:47:43Mom, can you hang on a second?
00:47:44Um, remember Antoine's mac and cheese?
00:47:47Amazing.
00:47:48I'm sure it's great, but Mom, please,
00:47:50there's something that I really need to talk to you.
00:47:52If you could just give me a moment to tell you.
00:47:54Mom is just a little busy right now.
00:47:56Why don't you, um,
00:47:57go watch the football with Antoine?
00:47:59But Mom...
00:48:10Hi, Chris.
00:48:12Dad, I mean,
00:48:13Jerry, uh, dropped us off.
00:48:15He's parking.
00:48:16Oh, come in.
00:48:17Come in.
00:48:22Uh,
00:48:23Homemade lame chops.
00:48:24I made them myself.
00:48:26I didn't know you were such a chef.
00:48:27It's my favorite.
00:48:28Uh,
00:48:30I really appreciate you standing up for us the other night at the bar.
00:48:34Well, you can't expect a father to like someone who stole his daughter's heart.
00:48:37And you're lucky he only yelled at you.
00:48:39I'm fine
00:48:40I'm fine.
00:48:41I'm fine.
00:48:42I'm fine.
00:48:43I'm fine.
00:48:44I'm fine.
00:48:45I'll shoot you.
00:48:46I'm fine.
00:48:47You're lucky you for all to be.
00:48:48I'm fine.
00:48:49You're lucky I'm for you,
00:48:51I'm like,
00:48:52you know,
00:48:52uh,
00:48:54you know,
00:48:55you've got me,
00:48:56you know,
00:48:57you,
00:48:59you know?
00:49:00You know,
00:49:01you know,
00:49:02you can,
00:49:04you know,
00:49:05May I come in, darling?
00:49:15Is this Tom Cruise?
00:49:18Because I could expect Jerry.
00:49:27You're part of the family now.
00:49:30Don't let Emma down.
00:49:31Dad!
00:49:33I wouldn't dream of it.
00:49:35Follow me, boys and girls.
00:49:43Look at your sweater.
00:49:45I like it, bud.
00:49:47Jerry, my old friend.
00:49:50How are you?
00:49:51Very well.
00:49:53Now that we're finally all together.
00:49:55This is Antoine, my best friend.
00:49:58Hello.
00:50:00And this is Tom, my son.
00:50:02I believe some of you already know him.
00:50:07Great to see you again.
00:50:09I'm so glad that we're truly a family now.
00:50:12Nice to meet you again, Mr. Smith.
00:50:16I'm afraid there's many things that you have not told my mother.
00:50:22Tom.
00:50:23Mom.
00:50:24Did you know that your new husband is the richest man in the state?
00:50:29Hang on.
00:50:31I didn't mean to...
00:50:32Come.
00:50:34Come with me.
00:50:53Could we just have one day of peace and quiet?
00:50:57One day when you are trying to play some game?
00:51:02I just found out yesterday.
00:51:04I had to say something.
00:51:05Mom, I know you.
00:51:09Okay?
00:51:09You wouldn't be with him if you knew about his past.
00:51:11You would think he's way out of our league.
00:51:12Did you know he's supposed to be having dinner with the president?
00:51:19The president of the United States.
00:51:22I mean, the press is already wondering why he's missing and where he is.
00:51:26If they find out that you two are married,
00:51:29you're going to have journalists sticking their noses in every aspect of your life.
00:51:35And they're going to take away your freedom.
00:51:38Wow.
00:51:38You really are a lawyer.
00:51:40Oh, my God.
00:51:41Mom.
00:51:43Mom, this isn't a joke.
00:51:45Do you really want to be a fixture in the tabloids?
00:51:47Because you will.
00:51:48Tom.
00:51:50What?
00:51:51I mean, beyond everything I just said,
00:51:53have you thought about it?
00:51:55Have you thought about why he's keeping this from you?
00:51:57Why he's hiding it?
00:51:59That man doesn't trust you.
00:52:01I do trust your mom.
00:52:02I trust her with all my heart.
00:52:12It's just that everything happened too fast.
00:52:14I couldn't find the right time.
00:52:17Bullshit.
00:52:18Tell her right now everything, Mr. Oberdriver.
00:52:22Mr. Smith, I've worked for you for many years,
00:52:26and I trust you as a boss and a father,
00:52:28but I can't sit by and let you lie to my mother.
00:52:31I swear.
00:52:32I just...
00:52:33Tom.
00:52:35I appreciate you telling me
00:52:37you should have waited one day,
00:52:39just one more day,
00:52:40so I could have my Christmas.
00:52:42Yes.
00:52:42What's the use of marriage
00:52:51if nothing's ever shared?
00:52:54You said that before, didn't you?
00:52:56Chris, I'm really sorry.
00:52:58I...
00:52:59I'm just...
00:53:01I never meant for any of this to happen.
00:53:04I was trying to find the best moment.
00:53:07I need some time.
00:53:11And some space.
00:53:12God.
00:53:19This is bad.
00:53:21Tom shouldn't have brought that up at Christmas.
00:53:24I mean, if someone was lying to my mom,
00:53:26I'd probably do the same thing.
00:53:28Emma, not the time.
00:53:34I'm sorry, guys.
00:53:35I ruined Christmas.
00:53:42Dad, I'm sorry.
00:53:47I...
00:53:48I really screwed up.
00:53:50Where did that photo come from?
00:54:00It's a family photo.
00:54:02From when I was younger.
00:54:03That's...
00:54:05That's...
00:54:06Your family?
00:54:09That's...
00:54:10Your father...
00:54:12Your mother...
00:54:13Your...
00:54:14Sister...
00:54:16And yourself?
00:54:17I don't...
00:54:17I don't understand.
00:54:18What's the big deal?
00:54:19Don't push me away.
00:54:36Jesus.
00:54:37I've searched for 20 years to find someone like you.
00:54:43You make me feel young.
00:54:45And alive.
00:54:50You have to understand.
00:54:52Ever since the tragedy, I've only lived for my daughter.
00:54:55She's the only thing I have left.
00:55:01Now she has John.
00:55:03My job is done.
00:55:05She's safe.
00:55:07And loved.
00:55:09But I have no one.
00:55:12No one except you.
00:55:17Please.
00:55:18Chris.
00:55:20Please.
00:55:22I don't understand.
00:55:23I don't understand.
00:55:25Maybe it's time you tell me about the tragedy.
00:55:30What happened 20 years ago?
00:55:32Where did you get this?
00:55:36This is the last thing that my mother left me.
00:55:41She died in a landslide 20 years ago.
00:55:44A landslide? Where?
00:55:46A maple.
00:55:47To the barren mountain?
00:55:4940 miles north of Anchorage, Alaska?
00:55:53Yeah.
00:55:54Yeah, that's exactly where Dad said that she...
00:55:57Dad?
00:55:57She...
00:55:58Mr. Smith?
00:56:01No, no, there's...
00:56:03There's no way.
00:56:04He looks completely different.
00:56:05The...
00:56:05The landslide nearly crushed his skull.
00:56:10The doctors had to give him a whole new face.
00:56:12Jesus Christ.
00:56:17He's my dad?
00:56:20He's my dad?
00:56:20He's my dad.
00:56:3120 years ago, my family went up to a barren mountain.
00:56:35Oh, God.
00:56:39Like, today's not crazy enough.
00:56:41Oh, Jesus.
00:56:43I'm gonna kill whoever is at the door.
00:56:45Mom.
00:56:46Mom, wait a second.
00:56:48Do you remember our family photo on the wall?
00:56:50Yeah, of course.
00:56:51What about it?
00:56:52What am I?
00:56:52Oh, my gosh.
00:56:53Just look at this.
00:56:55Do you recognize that photo?
00:56:58Why is this photo water damaged?
00:57:00What do you want?
00:57:26This is Christmas.
00:57:27What is your problem?
00:57:28And this is your Christmas gift.
00:57:31What are you talking about?
00:57:38You?
00:57:39How did you get away?
00:57:44You ruined my entire life.
00:57:46And this is what you get.
00:57:48Jerry!
00:57:52Oh, my God.
00:57:56Mom, are you okay?
00:57:58The police are on their way, asshole.
00:58:01This is all her fault.
00:58:03I'm not going to try to rob a bowling alley.
00:58:05I'm going to kill all of y'all.
00:58:08Get some rope.
00:58:09Fuck you all.
00:58:13Shut the fuck up.
00:58:17Oh, my God.
00:58:18John, you're my hero.
00:58:19I think that was enough craziness for one day.
00:58:25Let's get this asshole out of here.
00:58:28Just wait here.
00:58:29John and I got this.
00:58:30We got big things on the plate.
00:58:31It's okay.
00:58:33Let's go.
00:58:41Well, looks like someone made the naughty list this year.
00:58:46What happened to you?
00:58:55Why do you look so different?
00:58:58Why didn't you come back to me?
00:59:02What's this all about?
00:59:03Is she...
00:59:08Is she...
00:59:11Yes, ma.
00:59:14That's mom.
00:59:17And this is Tom.
00:59:20I'm sorry I didn't recognize you before.
00:59:24Tom.
00:59:26You're my son.
00:59:28Tell me this is real.
00:59:32Please.
00:59:33God.
00:59:36Are you my wife?
00:59:39The Chris that I married.
00:59:42Did you hike to Anchorage 20 years ago?
00:59:46Mount Maple.
00:59:49I guess so.
00:59:50My memory.
00:59:54The accident.
00:59:55I...
00:59:56I can't remember who I was.
01:00:00My backpack.
01:00:02My ID.
01:00:03All gone.
01:00:06The only thing we have left is...
01:00:10And her.
01:00:14My God.
01:00:18How did you survive?
01:00:21A hunter.
01:00:23He found us in the woods.
01:00:25Injured and cold but alive.
01:00:30I thought...
01:00:31I thought you...
01:00:34And Tom...
01:00:36I thought you were dead.
01:00:40I thought you were dead too.
01:00:43I thought you were dead too.
01:00:53Mom and Dad?
01:01:00Come on.
01:01:01You know, I've dreamed of this day a million times over, but I never thought it would actually happen for real.
01:01:20It's a Christmas miracle.
01:01:31You have to start.
01:01:34Give me some.
01:01:42Darling, are you staying tonight?
01:01:46Of course. I've waited over 20 years for this.
01:01:50Thank you all for joining our family here today.
01:02:03It's been a long road, a strange journey, but there is no place I'd rather be.
01:02:13After 20 years apart, fate has given us the best Christmas gift of all, each other.
01:02:22Merry Christmas.
01:02:23Merry Christmas.
