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'll be right back.
00:06:22You, with your coffee bathed in the light.
00:06:27I'm homeless, so there's no use.
00:06:30Making reasons to refuse.
00:06:33Any 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.
00:07:51Okay.
00:07:52You didn't have to.
00:07:53Oh, I could help.
00:07:55I'm almost done.
00:07:57Have a seat.
00:07:58I could...
00:07:59Have a seat.
00:08:01Okay.
00:08:01Okay, okay.
00:08:31What are you looking at?
00:08:40Have a seat.
00:08:44You're incredible.
00:08:51This is the best breakfast I've had in years.
00:08:54Aw, I'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, 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.
00:09:24Oh.
00:09:27So sweet.
00:09:29I think the weather's kind of cold, but you know you've got a hand to hold.
00:09:37Come along out and play.
00:09:40What a wonderful day.
00:09:43Oh, I know, honey.
00:09:48Oh, 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.
00:09:54I'm counting for a kiss.
00:09:55Come along.
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.
00:10:09Get lost.
00:10:09Had.
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.
00:10:22What 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.
00:10:56Ladies and gentlemen, thank you so much for joining us.

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.
00:12:13I forgot.
00:12:15He is dead.
00:12:17Fine.
00:12:22It's over.
00:12:24Mia is going to be the next captain.

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.
00:13:12I can do this all day.
00:13:13Doing one.
00:13:15Fair warning.
00:13:15Last call.
00:13:22$70,000.
00:13:24Sold.
00:13:25$70,000.
00:13:26From the Alpenstock to the lovely couple in the center of the room.
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.
00:13:47What's the matter?
00:13:49Let's go take a closer look.
00:13:52Ma'am, I needed to deliver this to you in person.
00:13:56It 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?
00:14:12Maybe.
00:14:14Are you all right?
00:14:18Breathe.
00:14:20Slowly.
00:14:21What 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.
00:14:46Wait, one minute.
00:14:48Yeah.
00:14:48Yeah.
00:14:51Okay.
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.
00:15:26Maybe if you wouldn't have fucking supported their stupid hobby,
00:15:30they'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.
00:15:58Ow.
00:16:06Chris.
00:16:08Chris.
00:16:09Chris.
00:16:10Chris.
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.
00:17:32Have I bowled before?
00:17:33Well, um, I wouldn't know.
00:17:37Sometimes it's hard to recall memories, early ones especially.
00:17:44They'll 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, I guess the old gray matter is just seeing what it used to be.
00:17:55Oh, my God.
00:18:05Oh, my God.
00:18:07Yeah.
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, 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?
00:19:22Who'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, boss 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.
00:19:49Robbery 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?
00:19:59I'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?
00:20:24Bullying an old man?
00:20:26That's not how a leader acts, is it?
00:20:28What 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.
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.
00:20:53Now, 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.
00:21:08One 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 has a ton of trust fund babies.
00:21:17Right?
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!
00:21:33I 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.
00:22:00They'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, kind of reminds me of Jerry, your late husband.
00:22:48Okay.
00:22:49All right.
00:22:52He 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!
00:23:13Okay.
00:23:14Jerry.
00:23:17Jerry is dead.
00:23:19Bye, babe.
00:23:21If he was alive.
00:23:22He would have come looking for me.
00:23:26Absolutely.
00:23:31Hey.
00:23:34You okay?
00:23:36Yeah, I'm fine.
00:23:47You, you look different.
00:23:50I do?
00:23:50It 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.
00:24:05It would be my honor.
00:24:06Mom.
00:24:18Uh, please.
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.
00:24:30It's just, Tom's been working on a hard case, and, you know, we have a daughter on the way,
00:24:36and it's just been a lot of pressure.
00:24:38I'm really sorry what I said.
00:24:40It's okay.
00:24:40I 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?
00:25:00Uh, 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.
00:25:18Yeah.
00:25:18Yeah.
00:25:20Of course.
00:25:22What is it?
00:25:23Something wrong?
00:25:23No, it's just...
00:25:25Tom, after all these years, if you ever saw your father again, do you think you'd
00:25:31recognize 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.
00:25:54Looking forward to it.
00:25:56Yeah, me too.
00:26:01Wine 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 well.
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.
00:26:46Emma?
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.
00:27:15But 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?

00:27:48Hmm?
00:27:48Hmm?
00:27:48Hmm?
00:27:48Hmm?
00:27:49Hmm?
00:27:49Hmm?
00:27:49Hmm?
00:27:50Hmm?
00:27:51Hmm?
00:27:51Hmm?

00:27:55Hmm?
00:27:56Hmm?
00:27:56Hmm?
00:28:01Hmm?

00:45:49That'd be great. Thanks.
00:45:57Mom, I need to tell you something.
00:46:02It's about Mr. Smith.
00:46:06What about him?
00:46:08Don't tell me you don't like him.
00:46:10No, I think he's great, really.
00:46:14Oh.
00:46:16Have a seat.
00:46:18Hey, Helen, how are you?
00:46:20Good, good. Are you coming?
00:46:22Uh-huh.
00:46:24Merry Christmas, Dad.
00:46:30Helen is not coming. Her husband hurt his back last night. He won't even be able to move today.
00:46:36Well, I'm glad that Aunt Helen and Uncle Greg are still in love.
00:46:40Yeah, have you ever seen that couple not be together?
00:46:42Hey, back to the point, Mom.
00:46:44Oh, that thought.
00:46:46That thought.
00:47:04Merry Christmas.
00:47:06Merry Christmas, buddy. Ooh, look at all this. Thank you.
00:47:09Watch out. Be careful now. It's my special mac and cheese.
00:47:12Come on.
00:47:13All right.
00:47:14Yeah, you look nice.
00:47:15Thanks. Coming through.
00:47:17Ah. Tom. My man.
00:47:21Haven't seen you around the bowling alley lately.
00:47:24I know. We really missed you. But me and Lisa have been a little busy.
00:47:30Ah, a little too busy for his Uncle Antoine.
00:47:33We just had a baby.
00:47:35What?
00:47:36Yeah.
00:47:37Oh, my God. Congratulations.
00:47:40Mom? Mom, can you hang on a second?
00:47:43Um, remember Antoine's mac and cheese? Amazing.
00:47:47I'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. Why don't you, um, go watch the football with Antoine?
00:47:59But Mom...
00:48:10Hi, Chris.
00:48:11Dad, I mean, Jerry, uh, dropped us off. He's parking.
00:48:15Oh, come in. Come in.
00:48:21Uh, homemade lame chops. I made them myself.
00:48:24I didn't know you were such a chef. It's my favorite.
00:48:27Uh, I really appreciate you standing up for us the other night at the bar.
00:48:32Well, you can't expect a father to like someone who stole his daughter's heart.
00:48:36And you're lucky he only yelled at you.
00:48:38I yelled at you.
00:48:41.
00:48:42.
00:48:43.
00:48:45.
00:48:46.
00:48:47.
00:48:48.
00:49:08May 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.
00:49:38Look 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.
00:50:30I didn't mean to-
00:50:31I didn't mean to-
00:50:32Tom.
00:50:34Come with me.
00:50:39Come with me.
00:50:39Could 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 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 he's supposed to be having dinner with the president?
00:51:18The 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.
00:52:06I 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.
00:52:24I'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.
00:52:33I appreciate you telling me you should have waited one day,
00:52:39just one more day so I can have 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...
00:53:48I 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.
00:54:06That's...
00:54:06your family?

01:02:05A strange journey.
01:02:08But there is no place I'd rather be.
01:02:13After 20 years apart, fate has given us the best Christmas gift of all.
01:02:19Each other.
