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.
00:00:1450? God, are you that damn old?
00:00:18You said you're 52 on the dating app, and you're definitely 60.
00:00:22Boys will be boys, even in their 60s.
00:00:25We'll start with London, and then Paris, and then Rome, and then all the way to Beijing.
00:00:31The 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.
00:00:48Good, because I always like to record.
00:00:51Excuse me, boss. It's time for your date. Should I leave this here, or...?
00:00:57Where is this from?
00:00:58Well, department store. Cheap as it gets.
00:01:00On the car?
00:01:01Once used.
00:01:02Excellent.
00:01:03Is there anything else you need?
00:01:05Just keep this quiet.
00:01:07Yes, boss. No one will ever find out that the chairman of Pete Klein is going as a date,
00:01:12as an ordinary urban driver.
00:01:14Yeah.
00:01:19Hi, I'm Jerry.
00:01:21What's with the glasses, four eyes? Are you blind? Who the hell wants to be with a sick old man?
00:01:29I'll need 60% of your wages each month.
00:01:3230% will cover daily expenses.
00:01:3530% will go to the bank to cover my mortgage.
00:01:39Oh, how generous! You left me 40%!
00:01:42No, that 40% is going straight to my account.
00:01:47I'm tired of an hour. Plus 10 if you want 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 look?
00:02:00I think it's-
00:02:05Sorry.
00:02:09Hi.
00:02:17I'm Jerry Smith.
00:02:20Chris. Chris Parker.
00:02:21Let's get married.
00:02:24That's your pitch?
00:02:25I'm a very straightforward man.
00:02:27Lucky you.
00:02:30That is exactly my time.
00:02:32It'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.
00:02:41Call time request show.
00:02:43Cross to you by skipping.
00:02:45Oh, no, no, no.
00:02:46I've got it.
00:02:48If you like peanuts, you'll like-
00:02:52Mom! What are you doing here?
00:02:54It's always so good to see you two.
00:02:56How's work?
00:02:58Same boss. Still great.
00:03:00Wish I had more time off though.
00:03:03And have you decided on a name for the baby?
00:03:06Yeah.
00:03:07Actually, um, it'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.
00:03:28No.
00:03:30That was your grandma's gift for her and her only.
00:03:33I mean, your father and sister have been gone for decades.
00:03:36Let's just let them stay in our memory and not try to replace-
00:03:40Mom!
00:03:42This is my house.
00:03:44I can't have you come in here and try to disrespect that.
00:03:47Sure. You'll get your respect when your daughter is old enough to talk, son.
00:03:54I can't imagine how dad didn't get driven crazy by you.
00:04:00Don't you ever talk about me and your father like that.
00:04:04I'm a grown man. I have a family now. You can't just drop by and tell me what to do.
00:04:10You clearly need the help.
00:04:12Not from an overbearing, old, sad, crazy woman like you.
00:04:18Ta!
00:04:19That's too much.
00:04:23I'm sorry, Mom. I didn't mean to...
00:04:26So that's what you think of me, Chris? It's not like that.
00:04:31Take care of yourself, sweetheart.
00:04:33Mom.
00:04:34Mom, where are you going?
00:04:35Anywhere but here.
00:04:36It's raining outside. Please, just-
00:04:38I want to drown in your melancholy flights
00:04:43Or suckade in your temperamental mile
00:04:47And stayin' on the shore
00:04:50And keepin' the rest of the line
00:04:53God damn it! You gotta be kidding me!
00:04:58God, I'm gonna freeze out here!
00:04:59What do you want?
00:05:17Chris? It's me.
00:05:19What's wrong? Did someone upset you?
00:05:21Jerry!
00:05:23No, no, it's nothing.
00:05:25Doesn't sound like nothing.
00:05:27What is better?
00:05:28Are you outside?
00:05:30My shitty car broke down in the middle of the woods.
00:05:33What?
00:05:34In this weather? In the middle of December?
00:05:36I'm going to pick you up.
00:05:37No, no, no. It's fine.
00:05:38It's no reason for you to freeze out here, too.
00:05:41Where are you?
00:05:42It's more of Lincoln Road, I think.
00:05:46I'll be right there. Don't move.
00:05:52Go to Lincoln Road, now.
00:05:55Yeah, but how are you going to explain your identity?
00:05:58What about me? An Uber driver's driver?
00:06:01Get out. I'll drive.
00:06:15Hey, baby. You need a ride?
00:06:17You need a ride?
00:06:21Oh, thank God.
00:06:23Hold on. Let me get the door for me.
00:06:26You with your coffee bathed in light.
00:06:31I'm famous so there's no use
00:06:35Making reasons to refuse
00:06:38Any part of you
00:06:41Part of you
00:06:42And it takes it out of me
00:06:49That I have to watch as we break in perfectly
00:07:00Where to, m'lady?
00:07:02Driver makes the call.
00:07:04But somewhere warm, I'm frozen.
00:07:08My cabin is just down the road.
00:07:11We could stay there tonight.
00:07:13Yeah?
00:07:15Have a little honeymoon?
00:07:17Your wish is my command.
00:07:20All we need to do is take a warm shower,
00:07:23drink a shot of whiskey, and
00:07:25pray for a good night's sleep.
00:07:27Wow.
00:07:29That's not all we need to do.

00:36:05We need an ambulance.
00:36:11Help is on the way.

00:37:10My team has done an appraisal for the property.
00:37:13It looks nice.
00:37:14And I think...
00:37:16Mr. Smith, are you okay?
00:37:24Just feels a little bit dry in here.
00:37:27Turn down the AC a little bit.
00:37:30Yeah, of course.
00:37:30Why don't we all just take a break?
00:37:35I could use the fresh air, too.
00:37:45Oh, my God.
00:37:47Everything all right, Tom?
00:37:49I think something's wrong.
00:37:50My mom just called, and she never calls me this late.
00:37:53And let alone on a weekday.
00:37:55My wife's with her.
00:37:57And...
00:37:58Calm down.
00:37:59I'm sure everything's fine.
00:38:01Paul, can you check the news?
00:38:03Sure.
00:38:04Now.
00:38:06It seems like a shooting is happening on West Maple Street.
00:38:09C&M are live streaming.
00:38:10These are on the scene, working to secure the area, and ensure...
00:38:13Beavis, I'm reporting for reports on an alarm problem.
00:38:18Are you okay?
00:38:19I think my water just broke.
00:38:22Don't move.
00:38:23Get up!
00:38:25Don't shoot!
00:38:26That bastard.
00:38:31Oh, my God.
00:38:32I...
00:38:32Mr. Smith, I need to get there as fast as I can.
00:38:35I'm going with you.
00:38:37Get the car ready.
00:38:38Mr.
00:38:38This country needs gun control.
00:38:42Let me get my weapon.
00:38:46Put the gun down.
00:38:47Get on your knees!
00:38:48Now!
00:38:49Um, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay.

00:38:55Okay.
00:38:56Please, my daughter's about to give birth, and please just let us go.
00:39:00We won't do anything, I promise.
00:39:02Please, please, please, you can have whatever you want.
00:39:03Just don't hurt us.
00:39:06Leave your phone, wallet, and purse, and get out.
00:39:09Don't tell anybody what happened here.
00:39:10Yes!
00:39:11Thank you so much.
00:39:12Okay, of course.
00:39:13Come on.
00:39:22Did you call the cops?
00:39:23Did you call the cops?
00:39:26No, no, no, no, of course not.
00:39:28I didn't.
00:39:28Why would I?
00:39:36Why are they here?
00:39:38How could they know?
00:39:39Um, I don't know.
00:39:40Maybe there's an alarm?
00:39:43Let me see your phone.
00:39:46Please, it's not too late to surrender, okay?
00:39:49You haven't done anything bad yet.
00:39:50My son, he's a really good lawyer.
00:39:54He can defend you.
00:39:55Bitch, I should kill you!
00:39:58They're gonna lock me up because of you!
00:40:01Say goodbye to your daughter and the baby.
00:40:02No!
00:40:04Don't you fucking dare!
00:40:07If you shoot us, there will be an arrest.
00:40:10There won't be a trial.
00:40:11The police will just kill you where you are.
00:40:13Well, if you didn't call the fucking cops,
00:40:15they'd be halfway out of town by now.
00:40:16It isn't too late to change your mind.
00:40:20Think of your family, right?
00:40:22What would they do if they knew you were a murderer?
00:40:24They'd be heartbroken if they knew their son was a murderer.
00:40:28Keep my family out of your mouth!
00:40:29I won't let those fucking cops catch me!
00:40:31I won't be in jail for the next 20 years and end up alone like you!
00:40:34And do not compare your cursed life with mine, okay?
00:40:39I'm not a failure.
00:40:42I'm not alone.
00:40:44And I'm not a certified felon like you are.
00:40:48Oh, God, if my husband was alive,
00:40:51he would shoot you right on the spot!
00:40:54Oh, God, if you'll remember...
00:41:12Oh, Susanna, don't cry for me.
00:41:33Oh, thank God.
00:41:37I thought I was going to lose you.
00:41:39Maybe the world goes on.
00:41:44I'll sing my song.
00:41:46I won't miss.
00:41:47I gave my own true love for you to see.
00:41:53Oh, come on.
00:41:54It's not the first time I've been in danger.
00:41:59Jerry.
00:42:01Jerry Smith.
00:42:03Is that your name?
00:42:06Yes, since I was born.
00:42:09Do you remember?
00:42:13Lisa!
00:42:15Oh, God, Lisa!
00:42:17Please wake up, Lisa!
00:42:27Oh, this reminds me of the day I had you 30 years ago.
00:42:31God, that hurt.
00:42:32Mom, this isn't helping.
00:42:34But we made it, didn't we?
00:42:36And so will Lisa.
00:42:39Hey, everything's going to be all right.
00:42:47Doctor, it's both Lisa and my baby.
00:42:51Mother and daughter are both safe and healthy.
00:42:54And at 12.05 December 25th, I'd say it's a Christmas miracle.
00:43:01However, Lisa did lose a lot of blood and she's very weak.
00:43:04So one of you needs to come with me.
00:43:05Okay.
00:43:09You go first.
00:43:10Yeah, I'm going to check on Jerry.
00:43:14Mom, there's something that I need to tell you about Mr. Smith.
00:43:18You know him?
00:43:20Yeah, actually.
00:43:21I know...
00:43:22Are you coming or not?
00:43:23Oh, sorry.
00:43:24Go.
00:43:25We'll talk later.
00:43:26Okay.
00:43:26Okay.
00:43:26Okay.
00:43:26Jerry.
00:43:39Jerry.
00:43:40Why does he look so different like my old Jerry?
00:43:47Jerry.
00:43:49I'm awake.
00:43:49What time is it?
00:43:53Five past midnight.
00:43:55Gosh, that late?
00:43:58One second.
00:43:59I need to make a call.
00:44:00I kept somebody waiting all day.
00:44:03Go ahead.
00:44:04But...
00:44:05Merry Christmas, my hero.
00:44:11Don't be late for the party tomorrow.
00:44:14We have a lot to talk about.
00:44:16But...
00:44:19Hand to God.
00:44:22I'll be there on time.
00:44:36One more kiss.
00:44:38Slowly this time.
00:44:40You nut.
00:44:41You nut.
00:44:49Lisa, come in.
00:45:16I cannot believe you're here.
00:45:25Why did you stay in the hospital?
00:45:27I wasn't going to miss your Christmas party.
00:45:29And neither was your new granddaughter.
00:45:35What's her name?
00:45:38Chris.
00:45:39We named her after you, Mom.
00:45:41I am honored.
00:45:47Dr. Ken, Lisa needs some rest.
00:45:49So can she take your room?
00:45:51Of course.
00:45:51We'll wake you up for dinner.
00:45:53That'd be great.
00:45:54Thanks.
00:46:02Mom.
00:46:04I need to tell you something.
00:46:08It's about Mr. Smith.
00:46:09What about him?
00:46:13Don't tell me you don't like him.
00:46:15No, I...
00:46:15I think he's great, really.
00:46:18Oh.
00:46:21Have a seat.
00:46:22Hey, Helen.
00:46:23How are you?
00:46:25Good, good.
00:46:26Are you coming?
00:46:28Uh-huh.
00:46:33Merry Christmas, Dad.
00:46:36Helen is not coming.
00:46:37Her husband hurt his back last night.
00:46:39He won't even be able to move today.
00:46:40Well, I'm glad that Aunt Helen and Uncle Greg are still in love.
00:46:45Yeah.
00:46:45Have you ever seen that couple not be together?
00:46:47Back to the point, Mom.
00:46:49Oh.
00:46:50That thought.
00:46:51That thought.
00:46:51Merry Christmas.
00:47:09Merry Christmas, buddy.
00:47:11Oh, look at all of this.
00:47:14Watch out.
00:47:14Be careful now.
00:47:15It's my special mac and cheese.
00:47:17Come on.
00:47:18All right.
00:47:19Yeah, you look nice.
00:47:20Thanks.
00:47:20Coming through.
00:47:22Ah.
00:47:24Tom.
00:47:25My man.
00:47:27Haven't seen you around the bowling alley lately.
00:47:30I know.
00:47:30We really missed you.
00:47:32But me and Lisa have been a little busy.
00:47:35Ah, a little too busy for his Uncle Antoine.
00:47:37We just had a baby.
00:47:39What?
00:47:40Yeah.
00:47:41Oh, my God.
00:47:43Mom?
00:47:43Mom, can you hang on a second?
00:47:44Um, remember Antoine's mac and cheese?
00:47:47A moment to tell you.
00:47:49Mom is just a little busy right now.
00:47:51Why don't you, um, go watch the football with Antoine?
00:47:54But Mom...
00:47:54Hi, Chris.
00:48:04Dad, I mean, Jerry dropped us off.
00:48:07He's barking.
00:48:08Oh, come in.
00:48:09Come in.
00:48:14Uh, homemade lame chefs.
00:48:16I made it myself.
00:48:17I didn't know you were such a chef.
00:48:19It's my favorite.
00:48:20Uh, I really appreciate you standing up for us the other night at the bar.
00:48:25Well, you can't expect a father to like someone who stole his daughter's heart.
00:48:29And you're lucky he only yelled at you.
00:48:31Ha, ha, ha.
00:48:32Ha, ha.
00:48:34Ha, ha.
00:48:37May I come in, darling?
00:49:06Is this Tom Cruise?
00:49:10Because, uh, I've been expecting Jerry.
00:49:12I won't leave without a fire out in the dark.
00:49:19You're part of the family now.
00:49:21Don't let Emma down.
00:49:23Dad.
00:49:24I wouldn't dream of it.
00:49:27Follow me, boys and girls.
00:49:28Look at your sweater.
00:49:37I like it, bud.
00:49:39Jerry, my old friend.
00:49:42How are you?
00:49:43Very well.
00:49:44Now that we're finally all together.
00:49:47This is Antoine, my best friend.
00:49:50Hello.
00:49:52And this is Tom, my son.
00:49:55Uh, I believe some of you already know him.
00:49:59Great to see you again.
00:50:01I'm so glad that we're truly a family now.
00:50:06Nice to meet you again, Mr. Smith.
00:50:08I'm afraid there's many things that you have not told my mother.
00:50:13Tom.
00:50:15Mom.
00:50:17Did you know that your new husband is the richest man in the state?
00:50:21Hang on.
00:50:23I didn't mean to-
00:50:24Tom.
00:50:26Come with me.
00:50:26Could we just have one day of peace and quiet?
00:50:49One day when you are trying to play some game.
00:50:54I just found out yesterday.
00:50:55I had to say something.
00:50:57Mom, I-
00:50:58I know you.
00:51:00Okay?
00:51:01You wouldn't be with him if you knew about his past.
00:51:03You would think he's way out of our league.
00:51:05Did you know
00:51:06he's supposed to be having dinner with the president?
00:51:11The president of the United States.
00:51:14I mean, the press is already wondering why he's missing and where he is.
00:51:18If they find out that you two are married?
00:51:20You're going to have journalists sticking their noses in every aspect of your life.
00:51:26And they're going to take away your freedom.
00:51:29Wow.
00:51:30You really are a lawyer.
00:51:32Oh, my God.
00:51:33Mom.
00:51:35Mom, this isn't a joke.
00:51:37Do you really want to be a fixture in the tabloids?
00:51:39Because you will.
00:51:40Tom.
00:51:42What?
00:51:43I mean, beyond everything I just said, have you thought about it?
00:51:46Have you thought about why he's keeping this from you?
00:51:49Why he's hiding it?
00:51:51That man doesn't trust you.
00:51:53I do trust your mom.
00:52:00I trust her with all my heart.
00:52:04It's just that everything happened too fast.
00:52:06I couldn't find the right time.
00:52:09Bullshit.
00:52:10Tell her.
00:52:11Right now.
00:52:11Everything.
00:52:13Mr. Overdriver.
00:52:14There isn't I trust you as a boss and a father, but I can't sit by and let you lie to my mother.
00:52:20I swear.
00:52:21I just...
00:52:22Tom.
00:52:23I appreciate you telling me.
00:52:25You're going to have my Christmas.
00:52:31I've never meant for any of this to happen.
00:52:32I mean, I was trying to find the best moment.
00:52:36I need some time.
00:52:40And some space.
00:52:47God.
00:52:48This is bad.
00:52:50Tom shouldn't have brought that up at Christmas.
00:52:54I mean, if someone was lying to my mom, I'd probably do the same thing.
00:52:57Emma, not the time.
00:53:02I'm sorry, guys.
00:53:04I ruined Christmas.
00:53:15Dad, I'm sorry.
00:53:16I...
00:53:17I really screwed up.
00:53:19Where did that photo come from?
00:53:29It's a family photo.
00:53:31From when I was younger.
00:53:35That's...
00:53:35your family?
00:53:39That's...
00:53:40your father,
00:53:41your mother,
00:53:42your...
00:53:43sister,
00:53:44and yourself?
00:53:46I don't understand.
00:53:47What's the big deal?
00:53:48Don't push me away.
00:54:05Jesus.
00:54:08I've searched for 20 years to find someone like you.
00:54:12You make me feel young
00:54:14and alive.
00:54:16You have to understand,
00:54:21ever since the tragedy,
00:54:23I've only lived for my daughter.
00:54:26She's the only thing I have left.
00:54:30Now she has John.
00:54:32My job is done.
00:54:35She's safe
00:54:36and loved.
00:54:39But I have no one.
00:54:40I have no one except you.
00:54:43No one except you.
00:54:46Please,
00:54:48Chris.
00:54:50Please.
00:54:51I don't understand.
00:54:53I don't understand.
00:54:56Maybe it's time you tell me about the tragedy.
00:54:59What happened 20 years ago?
00:55:01Where did you get this?
00:55:05This is the last thing that...
00:55:07she died in a landslide 20 years ago.
00:55:11A landslide?
00:55:11Where?
00:55:12The...
00:55:12the barren mountain?
00:55:1440 miles north of...
00:55:16Anchorage, Alaska?
00:55:18Yeah.
00:55:19Yeah, that's exactly where...
00:55:21No, no.
00:55:21There's...
00:55:22there's no way.
00:55:23He looks completely different.
00:55:24The doctors had to give him a whole new face.
00:55:26Jesus Christ.
00:55:33He's my dad?
00:55:35He's my dad.
00:55:4520 years ago,
00:55:47my family went up to a barren mountain.
00:55:50Oh, God.
00:55:52Jesus.
00:55:54I'm gonna kill whoever...
00:55:55Do you remember our family photo on the wall?
00:55:59Yeah, of course.
00:56:00What about it?
00:56:00What am I?
00:56:01Oh, my gosh.
00:56:01Just look at this.
00:56:04Do you recognize that photo?
00:56:07Why is this photo water damaged?
00:56:11Wait.
00:56:12Is that...
00:56:18Oh, I can't...
00:56:20Oh, I can't...
00:56:25This...
00:56:29What do you want?
00:56:33This is Christmas.
00:56:34What is your problem?
00:56:36This is your Christmas gift.
00:56:38What are you talking about?
00:56:45You?
00:56:45How did you get away?
00:56:48You ruined my entire life, and this is what you get!
00:56:55Jerry!
00:56:56Oh my god!
00:57:00Mom, are you okay?
00:57:05The police are on their way, asshole!
00:57:08This is all her fault!
00:57:10I'm not the one who tried to rob a bowling alley!
00:57:12I'm gonna kill all y'all!
00:57:14Get some rope!
00:57:16Fuck you all!
00:57:20Shut the fuck up!
00:57:24Oh my god, John, you're wrecking me!
00:57:29I think that was enough craziness for one day.
00:57:32Let's get this asshole out of here.
00:57:35Just wait here.
00:57:36John and I got this.
00:57:37I got big things on plate.
00:57:39Let's go.
00:57:46Well, looks like someone made the naughty list this year.
00:57:56What happened to you?
00:58:01Why do you look so different?
00:58:04Why didn't you come back to me?
00:58:08What's...
00:58:09What's this all about?
00:58:14Is she...
00:58:17Is she...
00:58:19Yes, Pa!
00:58:21That's Mom!
00:58:23And this is Tom!
00:58:27That's why I didn't recognize you before.
00:58:30Tom...
00:58:32You're my son!
00:58:36Tell me this is real.
00:58:39Please, Tom.
00:58:41Are you my wife?
00:58:44The Chris that I married.
00:58:48Did you hike Anchorage 20 years ago?
00:58:52Mount Maple?
00:58:53I guess so.
00:58:57My memory...
00:59:00The accident...
00:59:02I...
00:59:03I...
00:59:04I...
00:59:05I...
00:59:06I can't remember who I was.
00:59:08My...
00:59:09My backpack.
00:59:10My ID.
00:59:11All gone.
00:59:13The only thing we have left is...
00:59:17The fuck?
00:59:20And her.
00:59:23My God.
00:59:25How did you survive?
00:59:28A hunter.
00:59:30Found us in the woods.
00:59:32Injured and cold but alive.
00:59:37I thought...
00:59:39I thought you...
00:59:41And Tom...
00:59:44I thought you were dead.
00:59:48I thought you were dead too.
01:00:00Mom and Dad!
01:00:01Son!
01:00:02Son!
01:00:03Get in here!
01:00:04Groupon!
01:00:05Come on!
01:00:06You know...
01:00:07I've dreamed of this day...
01:00:09A million times over but...
01:00:10I never thought it would actually happen for real.
01:00:25It's a...
01:00:26A Christmas miracle.
01:00:27It's a...
01:00:28A Christmas miracle.
01:00:29It would be more than one of me.
01:00:30Would you like some...
01:00:31I'm just gonna...
01:00:32I'm just gonna...
01:00:33Can you give me some?
01:00:34Would you like some...
01:00:35I'm just gonna...
01:00:36Yeah, I'm just gonna...
01:00:37I'm just gonna...
01:00:38I'm just gonna...
01:00:39Can you give me some?
01:00:41Okay.
01:00:43I'm just gonna...
01:00:44I'm just gonna...
01:00:45I'm just gonna...
01:00:46I'm just gonna...
01:00:47You're like...
01:00:48This wine is like...
01:00:49Darling.
01:00:50Are you staying tonight?
01:00:53Of course.
01:00:54I've waited over 20 years for this.
01:00:57Thank you all for joining our family here today.
01:01:10It's been a long road.
01:01:13A strange journey.
01:01:16But there is no place I'd rather be.
01:01:20After 20 years apart, fate has given us the best Christmas gift of all.
01:01:26Each other.
01:01:28Merry Christmas!
01:01:30Merry Christmas!
01:01:33That's wonderful.
