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 are 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.
00:06:21Make aalah.
00:06:22You need a coffee, so there's no use.
00:06:24I'll refuse.
00:06:25I'll quickly get it.
00:06:35Let me get out.
00:06:40Take care.
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.
00:07:03My cabin is just down the road. We could stay there tonight.
00:07:09Yeah? Have a little honeymoon?
00:07:12Your wish is my command. All 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.
00:07:42Chris, you didn't have to. Oh, I could help.
00:07:55I'm almost done. Have a seat.
00:07:58How's he?
00:08:01Okay.
00:08:01Okay.
00:08:22Okay.
00:08:23What are you looking at?
00:08:40Have a seat.
00:08:44You're incredible.
00:08:45This is the best breakfast I've had in years.
00:08:55I'm flattered.
00:08:57You mentioned us going to the auction today.
00:09:00Is that still happening?
00:09:01Yes.
00:09:02And actually, we should start getting ready soon.
00:09:07Do I look okay?
00:09:09Like a dream.
00:09:10But I do have a small present for you.
00:09:19Jerry.
00:09:21This is beautiful.
00:09:26So sweet.
00:09:40Oh, I know, honey.
00:09:49Oh, do you think I'm all over-dressed?
00:09:50Not at all.
00:09:51This is who you are.
00:09:53Don't be shy.
00:09:56Wow, wow, wow.
00:09:58Look 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.
00:10:08Get lost.
00:10:10Hag.
00:10:10Looks like someone forgot her dentures today.
00:10:12Don't be jealous, darling.
00:10:14They're new and permanent.
00:10:17Jealous?
00:10:17Don't make me laugh.
00:10:19You disgusting old bitch.
00:10:34What 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.
00:10:49Always trying to be superior to everyone.
00:10:51But always falling short.
00:10:56Ladies and gentlemen, thank you so much for joining us.
00:10:59Welcome to this year's annual Christmas charity auction.

00:12:01$20,000 from the lovely lady in the corner.
00:12:05$20,000 going once.
00:12:07What are you waiting for?
00:12:09Don't tell me you're waiting for your ex-husband to save you again.
00:12:12Oh, I'm sorry, I forgot.
00:12:15He's dead.
00:12:17Fine.
00:12:19It's over.
00:12:24Mie is going to be the next captain.
00:12:44$20,000 going twice.
00:12:47$30,000.
00:12:48$30,000 from the gentleman in the center of the room.
00:12:53This is none of your business.
00:12:55It is.

00:13:04$70,000.
00:13:05Are you serious?
00:13:07You can't just say any random number.
00:13:09You actually have to be able to pay for it.
00:13:11I can do this all day.
00:13:13I can do this all day.
00:13:13Growing one.
00:13:15Fair warning, last call.

00:13:24Sold.
00:13:25$70,000.
00:13:26From the Alpensox to the lovely couple in the center of the room.
00:13:29Thank you very much.
00:13:30Everybody, please, a 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.
00:13:47What's the matter?
00:13:48Let's go take a closer look.
00:13:50Ma'am, I needed to deliver this to you in person.
00:13:57It is the most expensive item I've ever sold.
00:14:01You're very lucky.
00:14:04Merry Christmas.
00:14:05Thank you, sir.
00:14:10Is it the one you were looking for, baby?
00:14:14Are you all right?
00:14:18Breathe.
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.
00:14:37My most precious belonging.
00:14:40I thought I'd never see it again.
00:14:42Oh.
00:14:45I'm so sorry.
00:14:46One minute.
00:14:48Yeah.
00:14:50Okay.
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.
00:15:05I 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.
00:15:22Dad and Emma are fucking dead.
00:15:25Maybe 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.
00:15:57No, Tom.
00:15:57Tom, wait.
00:15:58Ow!
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.
00:16:20Just family quarrel.
00:16:23If this keeps happening, I'm going to need to have a little talk with your family.
00:16:27Oh, let me see that in here.
00:16:28Come here.
00:16:30That stings.
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.
00:16:53What do you say we forget about those damn kids and 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.
00:17:25Everything all right?
00:17:26Yeah.
00:17:27Just feels like this isn't the first time I've been bowling.
00:17:31Have 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?
00:17:49Yeah.
00:17:50The doctor 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.
00:17:58Anyway.
00:17:59Chris, 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, that'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, two 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.
00:19:20Who's the boss?
00:19:27Who's the boss?
00:19:29That would be me.
00:19:31Whoa.
00:19:32Can I help you?
00:19:33I'm Griffin.
00:19:35Boss of the Griffins.
00:19:36Open your register.
00:19:38We're taking your money.
00:19:40That'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!
00:20:21Wait.
00:20:23Let's talk business, okay?
00:20:25Bullying 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 out, Grandma.
00:20:33Bullshit!
00:20:34The fuck you talking about?
00:20:35Griffin!
00:20:36The 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
00:20:57you're messing with some of his friends?
00:20:58How would that turn out for you?
00:21:04Don'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?
00:21:12The block between Mulberry Street and Lincoln
00:21:15has 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.
00:21:24May we have your name?
00:21:25Fuck off.
00:21:26Now!
00:21:28I 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.
00:21:57Two of the most conservative guys in town.
00:22:00They'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.
00:22:13So, you better tell them these crazies are heading towards their neighborhood.
00:22:21Chris.
00:22:23I 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.
00:22:30You know, I'm just, I'm just happy you found another good man.
00:22:35You know, um, it kind of reminds me of Jerry, your late husband.
00:22:48Okay.
00:22:49All right.
00:22:50He doesn't look anything like him.
00:22:54No, not his looks.
00:22:55You know, his vibe, how 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!
00:23:12Okay.
00:23:13Jerry.
00:23:17Jerry 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?
00:23:36I'm fine.
00:23:43You, you 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.
00:23:59Um, I want you to come meet all my family.
00:24:02Would you come?
00:24:02Of course.
00:24:04It would be my honor.
00:24:06Oh.
00:24:13Mom.
00:24:21Please.
00:24:22Come in.
00:24:23Please.
00:24:24Tom.
00:24:26I just want to quickly say...
00:24:28Mom, I'm so sorry about the other night.
00:24:32It's just, Tom's been working on a hard case and, you know, we have a daughter on the way and it's just been a lot of pressure.
00:24:38I'm really sorry what I said.
00:24:40It's okay.
00:24:40Hey, I made a lot of mistakes and some of them, some of them I can't fix.
00:24:50But 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?
00:25:00That'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.
00:25:09I mean, he was always getting out of trouble and I'm sure he's out there looking down with a smile, thinking someone has your back.
00:25:18Yeah.
00:25:18Yeah.
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 him?
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.
00:25:44Anyway, it's getting late and I have to go.
00:25:47But I will see you guys at Christmas dinner?
00:25:50Yeah, of course.
00:25:51Yeah.
00:25:51Looking forward to it.
00:25:55Yeah, me too.
00:26:04Wine for the lady?
00:26:05But this place is cute.
00:26:08Is it new?
00:26:09It's just opened.
00:26:10My daughter recommended it.
00:26:11Well, she has great taste.
00:26:16You 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.
00:26:27Sometimes 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.
00:26:39Finish it.
00:26:41Speak of the devil.
00:26:46Emma?
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?
00:27:25Okay, because maybe if you knew the first thing about love, mom wouldn't have ditched us 20 years ago.
00:27:36You don't know what you're talking about.
00:27:37I don't know what I'm talking about.
00:27:40Hmm.
00:27:41But mom didn't ditch us.
00:27:42Then why is the only thing she left this old photo?
00:27:46Hmm?
00:27:51You teach her this shit?
00:27:53Get out!
00:27:54I don't ever want to fucking see you again!
00:28:01If he leaves, then I'm going with him!
00:28:06Hold on, honey.
00:28:07Let's talk.
00:28:09And who the hell are you?
00:28:11Uh, boys.
00:28:13Give us some space.
00:28:23You didn't mean to do that, did you?
00:28:25Of course not!
00:28:27But how can I?
00:28:28You know, he doesn't trust me!
00:28:31He's strong.
00:28:33What's that last time your father mentioned?
00:28:35So my dad invited John over for Thanksgiving dinner, right?
00:28:44And John's a shy boy.
00:28:46He didn't really know what to do.
00:28:48So his friends started giving him some advice, and that's when everything went wrong.
00:28:57Tell me everything.
00:28:58Well, John doesn't drink much.
00:29:06His friends suggested that maybe a little liquor may help him loosen up.
00:29:10But, key word, a little.
00:29:13John got so drunk, and he drove me home.
00:29:18He crashed the car straight into my dad's garden.
00:29:24Oh dear, I can only imagine how Jerry reacted to that.
00:29:28Well, whatever you're imagining is way, way worse.
00:29:33I mean, like, my dad's actually a really, like, respectful man, you know?
00:29:39I mean, he didn't even say anything about the car or the garden.
00:29:43He just, he even invited John to come in and sober up.
00:29:48But John was, like, wasted.
00:29:51I mean, like, blind drunk.
00:29:53So he stumbles in and knocks over a candle and sets the curtains on fire.
00:30:02Oh dear, that is...
00:30:03Yeah, it's a nightmare.
00:30:04It is what it is.
00:30:07But, you know, like, John's not like that.
00:30:10You know, John is gentle and smart and caring and...
00:30:16Yeah, but he's not a drunk, okay?
00:30:17It was just one mistake, one time, and my dad won't let it go.
00:30:21Gotcha, girl.
00:30:21It was just a misunderstanding.
00:30:24Thanks.
00:30:25I still don't understand, you know?
00:30:28Who are you?
00:30:29How do you know my dad?
00:30:33Baby, you look a bit drunk.
00:30:36Wanna ride home?
00:30:37Uh, go away.
00:30:38This is none of your business.
00:30:39Who the fuck are you, Granny?
00:30:41Go home and fuck yourself.
00:30:43Don't make me repeat myself.
00:30:45Oh my God, are you all right?
00:30:48You're coming with me, huh?
00:30:49No.
00:30:49I'm sorry, ma'am.
00:30:54I should have jumped in sooner.
00:30:55I like you, kid.
00:30:57Get her home safe.
00:30:58I'll take care of her old man.
00:31:00Thank you very much.
00:31:01Emma, can you hear me?
00:31:02You ready to go home?
00:31:03Yeah.
00:31:03Oh, Jerry and I are hosting a Christmas dinner.
00:31:07I would love for you to come.
00:31:09Do not be late.
00:31:13Oh, what a cute boy.
00:31:17Now, where is my husband?
00:31:21Hey.
00:31:28There's the old bitch.
00:31:32Hey.
00:31:35There's the old bitch.
00:31:37Oh, you never learned.
00:31:38Go home, man.
00:31:39Your boy toy beat me at the bar.
00:31:41And now you're going to pay.
00:31:43Put that thing down.
00:31:44Fuck you, bitch.
00:31:45Give me your money.
00:31:46Take off your coat.
00:31:47Oh, my God.
00:31:53Where did you get that thing?
00:31:55I keep it in my trunk.
00:31:56You know, to fix the car.
00:31:58I almost forgot you're a driver.
00:32:01Oh.
00:32:02What a hunk.
00:32:07All right, let's get out of here.
00:32:09Come on.
00:32:10You really know how to get yourself into trouble, don't you?
00:32:22Maybe I should start carrying a gun in with you.
00:32:24Shut up.
00:32:28Are John and Emma going to be okay?
00:32:31Hmm.
00:32:33John said you agreed to let Emma take Emma home.
00:32:36He's really not a bad kid.
00:32:37I think you should give him a second chance.
00:32:39You know, he almost got Emma killed.
00:32:41He was like a monster.
00:32:42I think that's just an excuse.
00:32:45You would have a problem with John no matter what.
00:32:48He could be a doctor, a lawyer, a senator.
00:32:51You'd still hate him.
00:32:52Because what you really can't stand is somebody taking your daughter away.
00:32:57No, you're probably right.
00:32:58Oh, probably.
00:33:02You are.
00:33:05If John deserves my daughter, then I'll dance at their wedding.
00:33:09Can you, uh, still dance, old man?
00:33:16Let me show you.
00:33:17And I didn't know what I might find and what I'd miss if I didn't go.
00:33:27If I didn't go.
00:33:34Paul, cancel all my plans for Christmas.
00:33:37All of your appointments.
00:33:39That's right.
00:33:39Boss, you're invited to the White House for dinner on Christmas.
00:33:43Something more important's coming.
00:33:45Tell me, what's more important than the president?
00:33:48Tom, you're early.
00:33:51I mean, today's meeting's too important to be late to.
00:33:53But I am curious, what's more important than the president?
00:33:57My wife and I are hosting a Christmas party.
00:33:59You should come.
00:34:00Oh, thanks, Mr. Smith.
00:34:01But my mother would be furious if I missed her Christmas party.
00:34:06That's all right.
00:34:07Say hi to your mother for me, okay?
00:34:09And tell her, I wish I had a son like you.
00:34:12Really?
00:34:15I wish the melons were ripe.
00:34:17That would be nice for the table.
00:34:18Oh!
00:34:19This one's ready.
00:34:21Yeah.
00:34:21Do you think we have enough for Christmas now?
00:34:36Yeah.
00:34:36Thank you so much for coming with me, sweetheart.
00:34:38It's the least I could do after the other day.
00:34:40Tom really went overboard.
00:34:42If I let every silly thing that boy said bother me,
00:34:45I would have been dead a hundred years ago.
00:34:48Let's see what else.
00:34:51Fill the cap, now!
00:34:56Do it!
00:34:57Everybody down!
00:34:58I went through your hands!
00:35:00What should we do?
00:35:03The title transfer from party A shall not...
00:35:06Mr. Smith, are you all right?
00:35:13I'm fine.
00:35:14I'm fine.
00:35:16It's kind of weird feeling, not something.
00:35:19Like a bad feeling?
00:35:20I'm not sure.
00:35:24What should we do?
00:35:25We're pretty close to the entrance.
00:35:27Just follow me when he walks away.
00:35:32Chris, I can't run.
00:35:35Don't move.
00:35:36There's a robber.
00:35:47There's a robber.
00:35:47The grocery store on West Maple.
00:35:50There's one guy with a gun.
00:35:53We need an ambulance.
00:35:54Help is on the way.
00:36:00I'm fine.
00:36:05Boss, Mr. Fort is waiting for you in the conference room.
00:36:09Right.
00:36:10Pick up, come on, come on, come on, come on.
00:36:22Pick up, damn it.
00:36:35Please, pick up, come on.
00:36:43Damn it.
00:36:48Pick up, goddammit, please.
00:36:51Who's there?
00:36:55Come out. Don't make me ask again.
00:36:57My team has done an appraisal for the property.
00:37:00It looks nice, and I think...
00:37:08Mr. Smith, are you okay?
00:37:11It just feels a little bit dry in here.
00:37:15Turn down the AC a little bit.
00:37:17Yeah, of course.
00:37:21Why don't we all just take a break?
00:37:23I could use the fresh air, too.
00:37:33Oh, my God.
00:37:35Everything all right, Tom?
00:37:37I think something's wrong.
00:37:38My mom just called, and she never calls me this late,
00:37:41let alone on a weekday.
00:37:43My wife's with her, and...
00:37:46Calm down. I'm sure everything's fine.
00:37:48Paul, can you check the news?
00:37:50Sure.
00:37:52Now.
00:37:53Seems like a shooting is happening on West Maple Street.
00:37:56C&M, a livestream.
00:37:58Police are on the scene.
00:37:59Working to secure the area.
00:38:00And ensure...
00:38:02See this slide.
00:38:03We're falling for reports on an armed robbery inside a local store.
00:38:11Are you okay?
00:38:12I think my water just broke.
00:38:15Okay.
00:38:18Don't move.
00:38:19Get up.
00:38:20Get up.
00:38:22Don't shoot.
00:38:26That bastard.
00:38:28Oh, my God.
00:38:29Mr. Smith, I need to get there as fast as I can.
00:38:31I'm going with you.
00:38:33Get the car ready.
00:38:34Yes, sir.
00:38:36This country needs gun control.
00:38:39Let me get my weapon.
00:38:41Put the gun down.
00:38:44Get on your knees.
00:38:45Now.
00:38:46Okay.
00:38:47Okay.
00:38:48Okay.
00:38:49What do you want?
00:38:50You want money?
00:38:51You can have it.
00:38:52Stay out of your pockets.
00:38:53Okay.
00:38:54Please.
00:38:55My daughter's about to give birth, and please just let us go.
00:38:57We won't do anything, I promise.
00:38:58Please, please, please.
00:38:59You can have whatever you want.
00:39:00Just don't hurt us.
00:39:03Leave your phone, wallet, and purse.
00:39:05And get out.
00:39:06What happened here?
00:39:07Yes.
00:39:08Thank you so much.
00:39:09Okay.
00:39:10Of course.
00:39:11Come on.
00:39:19Did you call the cops?
00:39:21Did you call the cops?
00:39:23No, no, no, no.
00:39:24Of course not.
00:39:25I didn't.
00:39:26Why would I?
00:39:33Why are they here?
00:39:34How could they know?
00:39:35Um, I don't know.
00:39:36Maybe there's an alarm?
00:39:39Let me see your phone.
00:39:42Please.
00:39:43It's not too late to surrender.
00:39:44Okay?
00:39:45You haven't done anything bad yet.
00:39:47My son, he's a really good lawyer.
00:39:50He can defend you.
00:39:52They just should kill you!
00:39:54They're gonna lock me up because of you!
00:39:57Say goodbye to your daughter and the baby.
00:39:58No!
00:40:00Don't you fucking dare!
00:40:03If you shoot us,
00:40:04there will be an arrest.
00:40:06There won't be a trial.
00:40:07The police will just kill you where you are!
00:40:09Well, if you didn't call the fucking cops,
00:40:11they'd be halfway out of town by now!
00:40:13It isn't too late to change your mind.
00:40:16Think of your family, right?
00:40:19What would they do if they knew you were a murderer?
00:40:20They'd be heartbroken if they knew their son was a murderer.
00:40:23Keep my family out of your mouth!
00:40:25I won't let those fucking cops catch me!
00:40:27I won't be in jail for the next 20 years and end up alone like you!
00:40:30Do not compare your cursed life with mine, okay?
00:40:36I'm not a failure.
00:40:39I'm not alone.
00:40:40And I'm not a certified talent like you are.
00:40:43Oh God, if my husband was alive,
00:40:46he would shoot you right on the spot!
00:41:13Oh, Susannah...
00:41:22Don't cry for me...
00:41:28Oh, thank God!
00:41:31Oh, thank God. I thought I was going to lose you.
00:41:42I won't miss.
00:41:49Oh, come on. It's not the first time I've been in danger.
00:41:54Jerry. Jerry Smith. Is that your name?
00:42:02Yes. Since I was born.
00:42:06Do you remember?
00:42:10Lisa!
00:42:12Oh, God, Lisa!
00:42:14Please wake up, Lisa!
00:42:24Oh, this reminds me of the day I had you 30 years ago. God, that hurt.
00:42:29Mom, this isn't helping.
00:42:31But we made it, didn't we? And so will Lisa.
00:42:35Hey, everything's going to be all right.
00:42:43Doctor, there's Lisa and my baby.
00:42:47Mother and daughter are both safe and healthy.
00:42:50And at 12.05 December 25th, I'd say it's a Christmas miracle.
00:42:57However, Lisa did lose a lot of blood and she's very weak.
00:43:00So one of you needs to come with me.
00:43:05You go first.
00:43:07Yeah, I'm going to check on Jerry.
00:43:10Mom, there's something that I need to tell you about Mr. Smith.
00:43:15You know him?
00:43:16Yeah, actually, I know him.
00:43:18Are 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.
00:43:45I'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've kept somebody waiting all day.
00:43:59Go ahead.
00:44:00Merry Christmas, my hero.
00:44:01Don't be late for the party tomorrow.
00:44:03We have a lot to talk about.
00:44:05Hand to God.
00:44:06I'll be there on time.
00:44:07One more kiss.
00:44:08Slowly this time.
00:44:09One more kiss.
00:44:10Slowly this time.
00:44:11You nut.
00:44:12I'm not.
00:44:13I'm not.
00:44:14I have a lot to talk about.
00:44:17Hand to God.
00:44:19I'll be there on time.
00:44:20One more kiss.
00:44:21Slowly this time.
00:44:22You nut.
00:44:36I'll be there on time.
00:44:37Slowly this time.
00:44:38You nut.

00:45:09John, 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, and 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.
00:45:50Mom, I need to tell you something. Um, 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.
00:46:13Um, have a seat.
00:46:19Hey, Helen, how are you?
00:46:21Good, good. Are you coming?
00:46:24Uh-huh.
00:46:24Merry Christmas, Dad.
00:46:32Helen is not coming. Her husband heard his back last night. He won't even be able to move today.
00:46:37Well, I'm glad that, uh, 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, that thought.
00:47:05Merry Christmas.
00:47:06Merry Christmas, buddy. Ooh, look at all this. Thank you.
00:47:10Watch out. Be careful now. It's my special mac and cheese.
00:47:13Yes. Come on.
00:47:14All right.
00:47:15Yeah, you look nice.
00:47:16Thanks. Coming through.
00:47:18Ah, Tom, my man.
00:47:23Haven't seen you around the bowling alley lately.
00:47:26Uh, I know. We really missed you. Uh, 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?
00:47:36Yeah.
00:47:37Oh, my God. Congratulations.
00:47:40Mom? Mom, can you hang on a second?
00:47:44Um, remember Antoine's mac and cheese? Amazing.
00:47:48I'm sure it's great, but, Mom, please, there's something that I really need to talk to.
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, go watch the football with Antoine?
00:47:59But, Mom...
00:48:00Hi, Chris.
00:48:12Dad, I mean, Jerry, uh, dropped us off. He's parking.
00:48:16Oh, come in. Come in.
00:48:17Uh, homemade lame chops. I made them myself.
00:48:25I didn't know you were such a chef. It's my favorite.
00:48:28Uh, I really appreciate you standing up for us the other night at the bar.
00:48:33Well, 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.
00:48:39Uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh
00:49:09May I come in, darling?
00:49:15Is this Tom Cruise?
00:49:18Because I could expect a jury.
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.
00:49:39Look 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.
00:50:03I 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.
00:50:14Nice 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.
00:50:25Did you know that your new husband is the richest man in the state?
00:50:29Hang on.
00:50:31I didn't mean to...
00:50:32Tom.
00:50:34Come with me.
00:50:35Come with me.
00:50:35Could we just have one day of peace and quiet?
00:50:57One day when you are trying to play some game?
00:51:01I just found out yesterday.
00:51:04I had to say something.
00:51:05Mom, I...
00:51:06I 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.
00:51:14Did you know...
00:51:14He'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.
00:51:36Wow, you really are a lawyer.
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, have 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.
00:52:21Mr. Oberdriver.
00:52:23Mr. Smith, I've worked for you for many years and 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 you should have waited one day, just one more day so I can
00:52:41have my Christmas.
00:52:50What's the use of marriage if nothing's ever shared?
00:52:54You said that before, didn't you?
00:52:56Chris, I'm really sorry.
00:52:58I...
00:52:58I...
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, this is bad.
00:53:21Tom shouldn't have brought that up at Christmas.
00:53:24I mean, if someone was lying to my mom, I'd probably do the same thing.
00:53:28Emma, not the time.
00:53:30I'm sorry, guys.
00:53:35I ruined Christmas.
00:53:46Dad, I'm sorry.
00:53:47I...
00:53:47I...
00:53:47I really screwed up.
00:53:50Where did that photo come from?
00:53:59It's a family photo.
00:54:02From when I was younger.
00:54:03That's your family?
00:54:09That's your father, your mother, your sister, and yourself?
00:54:17I don't understand.
00:54:18What's the big deal?
00:54:19Oh.
00:54:21I...
00:54:22Don't push me away.
00:54:36Jesus.
00:54:39I've searched for 20 years to find someone like you.
00:54:43You make me feel young.
00:54:45And alive.
00:54:46You have to understand, ever since the tragedy, I've only lived for my daughter.
00:54:57She's the only thing I have left.
00:55:01Now she has John.
00:55:03My job is done.
00:55:06She's safe.
00:55:07And loved.
00:55:09But I have no one.
00:55:12No one except you.
00:55:16Please.
00:55:19Chris.
00:55:21Please.
00:55:22I don't understand.
00:55:26Maybe 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?
00:55:45Where?
00:55:46A maple.
00:55:46The...
00:55:47The barren mountain?
00:55:4940 miles north of...
00:55:51Anchorage, Alaska?
00:55:53Yeah.
00:55:54Yeah, that's exactly where Dad said that she...
00:55:57Dad?
00:55:59Mr. Smith?
00:56:01No, no.
00:56:02There'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.
00:56:16Jesus Christ.
00:56:17He's my dad?
00:56:20He's my dad?
00:56:21He's my dad.
00:56:2420 years ago, my family went up to a barren mountain.
00:56:37God, like today's not crazy enough.
00:56:41Jesus.
00:56:43I'm going to kill whoever is at the door.
00:56:45Mom, mom, 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, just look at this.
00:56:54Do you recognize that photo?
00:56:58Why is this photo water damaged?
00:57:02Wait, is that...
00:57:09Oh, I can't be.
00:57:21What do you want?
00:57:24This is Christmas.
00:57:27What is your problem?
00:57:29This is your Christmas gift.
00:57:31What are you talking about?
00:57:38You?
00:57:39How did you get away?
00:57:41You ruined my entire life, and this is what you get.
00:57:47Uh-uh, Jerry!
00:57:52Oh, my God.
00:57:56Mom, are you okay?
00:57:59The police are on their way, asshole.
00:58:01This is all her fault.
00:58:02This is all her fault.
00:58:03I'm not the one 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.
00:58:14I think that was enough craziness for one day.
00:58:25Let's get this asshole out of here.
00:58:28Just wait here.
00:58:28John and I got this.
00:58:30That big thing's on the plate.
00:58:31Okay.
00:58:33Let's go.
00:58:33Well, 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?
00:59:07Is she?
00:59:10Is she?
00:59:13Yes, Mom.
00:59:15That's Mom.
00:59:16And this is Tom.
00:59:21That's why I didn't recognize you before.
00:59:24Tom.
00:59:26You're my son.
00:59:30Tell me this is real.
00:59:32Please, God.
00:59:36Are you my wife?
00:59:39The Chris that I married.
00:59:42Did you hide Anchorage 20 years ago?
00:59:45Mount Maple.
00:59:46I guess so.
00:59:52My memory.
00:59:54The accident.
00:59:55I can't remember who I was.
00:59:59My backpack, my ID, my backpack, my ID, all gone.
01:00:06The only thing we have left is...
01:00:09I can't remember who I was.
01:00:10I can't remember who I was.
01:00:14I can't remember who I was in the woods.
01:00:17My God.
01:00:18How did you survive?
01:00:19The hunter found us in the woods.
01:00:25Injured and cold but alive.
01:00:28I thought, I thought you and Tom, I thought you were dead.
01:00:41I thought you were dead too.
01:00:45Mom and Dad!
01:00:57Son, get in here. Group hug, come on.
01:01:07You 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.
01:01:26I think it would be more than one of the people I didn't want to be.
01:01:29Do you like some like this?
01:01:31Yeah, stop.
01:01:33Give me some.
01:01:36It's a Christmas.
01:01:37It's a Christmas.
01:01:38It's a Christmas.
01:01:39It's a Christmas.
01:01:40It's a Christmas.
01:01:41It's a Christmas.
01:01:42It's like...
01:01:43Darling.
01:01:44Are you staying tonight?
01:01:46Of course.
01:01:47I've waited over 20 years for this.
01:01:53Thank you all for joining our family here today.
01:02:03It's been a long road.
01:02:06A strange journey.
01:02:09But there is no place I'd rather be.
01:02:12After 20 years apart, fate has given us the best Christmas gift of all.
01:02:19Each other.
01:02:20Merry Christmas.
01:02:21Merry Christmas.
