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.
00:07:31Yeah.
00:07:37I can...
00:08:01I'm almost done.
00:08:03Have a seat.
00:08:04I can...
00:08:05I'll see.
00:08:06Okay.
00:08:07Okay.

00:09:05Is that still happening?
00:09:06Yes.
00:09:07And actually, we should start getting ready soon.
00:09:11Do I look okay?
00:09:14Like a dream.
00:09:16But I do have a small present for you.

00:14:37What happened? Is something wrong with it?
00:14:40Welcome back.
00:14:42This belonged to you?
00:14:44Tom. My late husband bought this for me many years ago.
00:14:48It's my most precious belonging.
00:14:53I thought I'd never see it again.
00:14:54Oh.
00:14:57I'm so sorry.
00:14:58One minute.
00:15:00Yeah.
00:15:04Okay.
00:15:05Oh, Tom. Look, look, look.
00:15:13The album stock that your dad bought me 20 years ago. I thought I lost it.
00:15:17I got a call from my friend at the auction.
00:15:19$70,000 for this?
00:15:21Are you losing your mind?
00:15:23No, Tom.
00:15:23No, Tom.
00:15:25No.
00:15:26You promised me that you would never touch climbing gear again.
00:15:29Tom, this is different.
00:15:30I don't fucking care.
00:15:32Please don't say that.
00:15:33They're dead.
00:15:36Dad and Emma are fucking dead.
00:15:39Maybe if you wouldn't have fucking supported their stupid hobby, they'd still be around.
00:15:46It was an accident.
00:15:47You can't blame it all on me.
00:15:48Is that not enough?
00:15:50What, are you going to take a new family up there to that death hike?
00:15:53Or are you going to wait until my daughter's born and then do the same to her?
00:15:57It was never my intention.
00:15:59Please don't say that.
00:16:02Look at me.
00:16:03You are never welcome in my home again.
00:16:06And if you want to go die...
00:16:08Go die alone.
00:16:10No, Tom.
00:16:11Tom, wait!
00:16:20Chris!
00:16:21Chris!
00:16:24Chris!
00:16:25Chris!
00:16:27Chris!
00:16:29Chris!
00:16:30Chris, are you okay?
00:16:31What happened?
00:16:34It's fine.
00:16:36It's the only quarrel.
00:16:38If this keeps happening, I'm going to need to have a little talk with your family.
00:16:42Let me see that here.
00:16:44Come here.
00:16:46It stings.
00:16:48How old's your daughter?
00:16:5022.
00:16:54Ever have any difficulties with her?
00:16:59I don't even know where to start.
00:17:01I'm so glad I have you.
00:17:08Me too.
00:17:10What do you say we forget about those damn kids and go have a drink?
00:17:16How about that?
00:17:18Yeah, okay.
00:17:20I know a place.
00:17:22But you've got to have a good back.
00:17:24Okay.
00:17:31That is incredible.
00:17:41Everything all right?
00:17:43Yeah.
00:17:44Just feels like this isn't the first time I've been bowling.
00:17:49Have I bowled before?
00:17:50Well, um, I wouldn't know.
00:17:54Sometimes it's hard to recall memories, early ones especially.
00:18:00They all just kind of fall apart.
00:18:04Have you gotten that checked out?
00:18:06Used to be.
00:18:06Oh, yeah.
00:18:14Wow.
00:18:15Yeah.
00:18:16Chris, did you find yourself...
00:18:18Antoine, this is Jerry.
00:18:19My husband.
00:18:21Your husband?
00:18:22Wow, that's interesting.
00:18:24I beg your pardon?
00:18:26I don't mean to be rude, but I haven't heard Chris say the word husband in, like, what?
00:18:32Two decades?
00:18:34Antoine.
00:18:34He was also in my high school gang.
00:18:37And if you can believe it, his mouth was even bigger back then.
00:18:40Well, welcome to my place.
00:18:42And there's only one rule here.
00:18:44Chris makes all the rules.
00:18:46Shut up, Antoine.
00:18:47You only say that when you're in trouble.
00:18:50And those two drinks on the house?
00:18:51Something must be really wrong.
00:18:53Well, did you guys ever hear this real estate conglomerate called G5?
00:18:59They want to buy this place.
00:19:00So, take the money, go to Florida, meet some babes.
00:19:05We get a new bowling alley.
00:19:06Win-win.
00:19:07I thought about it, but they're only offering half the going rate.
00:19:13Oh, hell with them then.
00:19:15Sir?
00:19:15Do something to force me?
00:19:17Hmm.
00:19:18Hmm.
00:19:18Who's the boss?
00:19:27Us.
00:19:28That would be me?
00:19:29Oh.
00:19:30Whoa.
00:19:31Can I help you?
00:19:32I'm Griffin.
00:19:33Boss of the Griffins.
00:19:35Open your register.
00:19:36We take your money.
00:19:38That's not going to happen, man.
00:19:40Do or die, fat asses!
00:19:42Put that thing down.
00:19:43Shut your mouth, Grandma.
00:19:45Mind your shit or I'll blow them away.
00:19:47Robbery is one thing.
00:19:49Murder, you can't come back from that.
00:19:51We talking business, old bitch.
00:19:54Have Jesus Christ in this fucking neighborhood.
00:19:56When did Jesus pack a .45?
00:20:02I'll shoot you, piece of shit.
00:20:04Nobody tells me what to do.
00:20:05Young man.
00:20:05Don't talk to me like a fucking teenager.
00:20:07This isn't the first time somebody's tried to rob this guy.
00:20:11Look, he may look soft, but he's not a coward.
00:20:14No means no.
00:20:15Shut the fuck up!
00:20:21Wait.
00:20:22Let'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!
00:20:35The 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
00:20:56you're messing with some of his friends?
00:21:00How would that turn out for you?
00:21:01What?
00:21:05But don't worry.
00:21:07I got a better idea.
00:21:09One that doesn't end with you at the bottom of a river.
00:21:12What is it?
00:21:13The block between Mulberry Street and Lincoln
00:21:16has a ton of trust fund babies.
00:21:18Right?
00:21:19Deep pockets and lots of addictions.
00:21:22You know what to do.
00:21:24Thank you, sir.
00:21:25May we have your name?
00:21:26Fuck off.
00:21:27Now!
00:21:28Now!
00:21:34I think that'll keep busy for a while.
00:21:38So that's your secret?
00:21:40You're one of them?
00:21:40One of those bastards?
00:21:42No.
00:21:43Well, you just told them to go sell drugs.
00:21:46Are you crazy?
00:21:47Hang on.
00:21:48Wait, wait, wait.
00:21:48Don't be such a judgment so quickly.
00:21:50Do you know who lives on that block?
00:21:52Devin Jones and Alex Schott.
00:21:55The mayor and the chief of police.
00:21:57Oh, my God.
00:21:59Two of the most conservative guys in town.
00:22:01They'll just love this dude slinging drugs outside his window.
00:22:05Wait, you just did that?
00:22:07Jesus Christ.
00:22:08You really are a bad boy.
00:22:10And Officer Alex happens to be one of my old friends.
00:22:14So.
00:22:14So, you better tell them these crazies
00:22:17are heading towards their neighborhood.
00:22:18But.
00:22:24Chris.
00:22:26I like this guy.
00:22:27Where'd you find him?
00:22:28At a random coffee shop.
00:22:30It's a long story.
00:22:31I bet it's a good one.
00:22:32With me?
00:22:32Always.
00:22:34You know, I'm just.
00:22:36I'm just happy you found another good man.
00:22:38You know, um.
00:22:42Kind of reminds me of Jerry.
00:22:44His late husband.
00:22:46I don't know.
00:22:48He doesn't look anything like him.
00:22:57No, not his looks.
00:22:58You know, his vibe.
00:23:00How he carries himself.
00:23:03What if Jerry
00:23:04never really died in that accident?
00:23:09What if Jerry
00:23:10never really died in that accident?
00:23:13No!
00:23:14Jerry.
00:23:21Jerry is dead.
00:23:23Bye-bye.
00:23:25If he was alive,
00:23:27he would have come looking for me.
00:23:30Absolutely.
00:23:36Hey.
00:23:38You okay?
00:23:39Oh, fine.
00:23:51You, you look different.
00:23:54I do?
00:23:56It must be all the excitement.
00:23:58Well, I am planning to have a Christmas dinner at my place.
00:24:03Um, I want you to come meet all my family.
00:24:06Would you come?
00:24:07Of course.
00:24:09It would be my honor.
00:24:11Oh.
00:24:12Mom.
00:24:27Please.
00:24:28Come in.
00:24:29Please.
00:24:30Tom.
00:24:31I just want to quickly say...
00:24:34Mom, I'm so sorry about the other night.
00:24:36It's just, Tom's been working on a hard case and, you know, we have a daughter on the way
00:24:42and it's just been a lot of pressure.
00:24:44I'm really sorry what I said.
00:24:46It's okay.
00:24:48I made a lot of mistakes.
00:24:50And some of them...
00:24:53Some of them I can't fix.
00:24:56But, I didn't come here to talk about the past.
00:25:00I came to tell you, I'm married.
00:25:04You're married?
00:25:06Uh, that's wonderful, Mom.
00:25:07He's the sweetest man.
00:25:08I know you're going to love him.
00:25:09And I want you to meet him at Christmas dinner.
00:25:12We would love that.
00:25:13Dad would be so happy.
00:25:15I mean, he was always getting out of trouble and I'm sure he's out there looking down with
00:25:20a smile, thinking someone has your back.
00:25:23Yeah.
00:25:24Yeah.
00:25:25Of course.
00:25:27What is it?
00:25:28Is something wrong?
00:25:29No, it's just...
00:25:31Tom, after all these years, if you ever saw your father again, do you think you'd recognize him?
00:25:39Yeah, of course I would.
00:25:42He's in that picture right there behind you.
00:25:45I mean, I look at him every day.
00:25:49I hope so.
00:25:51Anyway, it's getting late and I have to go.
00:25:55But I will see you guys at Christmas dinner?
00:25:57Yeah, of course.
00:25:58Yeah.
00:26:02Looking forward to it.
00:26:03Yeah, me too.
00:26:11Wine for the lady?
00:26:13But this place is cute.
00:26:15Is it new?
00:26:16It's just opened.
00:26:17My daughter recommended it.
00:26:18Well, she has great taste.
00:26:23You must have raised her, Will.
00:26:24For the last 20 years, it's been her and I against the world.
00:26:30She's my angel.
00:26:30Can I tell you something?
00:26:31Can I tell you something?
00:26:33Of course.
00:26:34Sometimes I wish I had a girl instead of a boy.
00:26:38Boys don't think.
00:26:39At least not with their brains.
00:26:44Come on, John.
00:26:46Finish it.
00:26:47Speak of the devil.
00:26:53Emma?
00:26:53Dad?
00:26:56Dad?
00:27:01Emma.
00:27:03John.
00:27:04Dad, do not look at him like that.
00:27:06Look at me.
00:27:08Go.
00:27:11Emma, I told you.
00:27:12Stay away from this alcoholic.
00:27:14Can you just leave us alone?
00:27:16Okay, because my life and what I do with it is none of your business.
00:27:22You're free to date whoever you want.
00:27:24But not him.
00:27:25Remember what happened last time?
00:27:27John nearly burned our house down.
00:27:28That's my life and my business.
00:27:30Not to mention that he nearly got you killed.
00:27:32You know, where do you get off?
00:27:34Okay, because maybe if you knew the first thing about love,
00:27:40Mom wouldn't have ditched us 20 years ago.
00:27:44You don't know what you're talking about.
00:27:47I know what I'm talking about?
00:27:49Huh.
00:27:49But Mom didn't ditch us.
00:27:51Then why is the only thing she left this old photo?
00:27:55Hmm?
00:27:59You teach her this shit?
00:28:02Get out!
00:28:03I don't ever want to fucking see you again!
00:28:10If he leaves,
00:28:11then I'm going with him!
00:28:14Hold on, honey.
00:28:16Let's talk.
00:28:20And who the hell are you?
00:28:22Uh, boys.
00:28:23Give us some space.
00:28:33You didn't mean to do that, did you?
00:28:35Of course not!
00:28:37But how can I...
00:28:38You know, he doesn't trust me!
00:28:41Be strong.
00:28:43What's that last time your father mentioned?
00:28:46So my dad invited John over for Thanksgiving dinner, right?
00:28:54And John's a shy boy.
00:28:56He didn't really know what to do.
00:28:59So his friends started giving him some advice.
00:29:04And that's when everything went wrong.
00:29:09Tell me everything.
00:29:10Well, John doesn't drink much.
00:29:18His friends suggested that maybe a little liquor may help him loosen up.
00:29:23But keyword, a little.
00:29:25John got so drunk.
00:29:28And he drove me home.
00:29:31And he crashed the car straight into my dad's car.
00:29:35Oh, dear, I can only imagine how Jerry reacted to that.
00:29:40Well, whatever you're imagining,
00:29:42it's way, way worse.
00:29:45I mean, my dad's actually a really, like, respectful man.
00:29:50You know?
00:29:51I mean, he didn't even say anything about the car or the garden.
00:29:55He just, he even invited John to come in and sober up.
00:30:00But John was, like, wasted.
00:30:02I mean, like, blind, drunk.
00:30:06So he stumbles in and knocks over a candle and sets the curtains on fire.
00:30:14Oh, dear, that is...
00:30:15Yeah, it's a nightmare.
00:30:16It is what it is.
00:30:18But, you know, like, John's not like that.
00:30:22You know, John is gentle and smart and caring.
00:30:27Yeah, but he's not a drunk, okay?
00:30:29It was just one mistake, one time.
00:30:31And my dad won't let it go.
00:30:32Oh, gotcha, girl.
00:30:33It was just a misunderstanding.
00:30:36Thanks.
00:30:37I still don't understand, you know.
00:30:40Who are you?
00:30:41How do you know my dad?
00:30:45Baby, you look a bit drunk.
00:30:48Wanna ride home?
00:30:49Go away.
00:30:50This is none of your business.
00:30:53Who the fuck are you, Granny?
00:30:54Go home and fuck yourself.
00:30:56Don't make me repeat myself.
00:30:57Oh, my God.
00:30:59I don't know, Ryan.
00:31:01You're coming with me, huh?
00:31:02No.
00:31:06I'm sorry, ma'am.
00:31:07I should have jumped in sooner.
00:31:09I like you, kid.
00:31:10Get her home safe.
00:31:11I'll take care of her old man.
00:31:13Thank you very much.
00:31:14Emma, can you hear me?
00:31:15You ready to go home?
00:31:16Yeah.
00:31:17Okay, let's go.
00:31:18Oh, Jerry and I are hosting a Christmas dinner.
00:31:21I would love for you to come.
00:31:22Do not be late.
00:31:27Now, where is my husband?
00:31:34Hey!
00:31:35There's the old bitch.
00:31:41Hey!
00:31:42Boy Toy beat me at the bar.
00:31:44And now you're gonna pay.
00:31:45Put that thing down.
00:31:46Fuck you, bitch.
00:31:48Give me your money.
00:31:49Take off your coat.
00:31:51Oh.
00:31:53Oh, my God.
00:31:56Where did you get that thing?
00:31:58I keep it in my trunk.
00:31:59You know, to fix the car.
00:32:00I almost forgot you're a driver.
00:32:03Oh.
00:32:05What a hunk.
00:32:10All right, let's get out of here.
00:32:12Come on.
00:32:12Come on.
00:32:16You really know how to get yourself into trouble, don't you?
00:32:26Maybe I should start carrying a gun in my trunk.
00:32:28Shut up.
00:32:32Are John and Emma gonna be okay?
00:32:35Hmm.
00:32:37John said you agreed to let Emma take Emma home.
00:32:40He's really not a bad kid.
00:32:41I think you should give him a second chance.
00:32:43You know, he almost got Emma killed.
00:32:45He was like a monster.
00:32:46I think that's just an excuse.
00:32:49You would have a problem with John no matter what.
00:32:52He could be a doctor, a lawyer, a senator.
00:32:55You'd still hate him.
00:32:56Because what you really can't stand is somebody taking your daughter away.
00:33:01Oh, you're probably right.
00:33:02Oh, probably.
00:33:03You are.
00:33:09If John deserves my daughter, then I'll dance at their wedding.
00:33:16Can you still dance, old man?
00:33:20Let me show you.
00:33:21Paul, cancel all my plans for Christmas.
00:33:41All of your appointments.
00:33:43That's right.
00:33:43Boss, you're invited to the White House for dinner on Christmas.
00:33:47Something more important's come up.
00:33:48Tell me, what's more important than the president?
00:33:54Tom, you're early.
00:33:56I mean, today's meeting's too important to be late to.
00:33:58But I am curious, what's more important than the president?
00:34:02My wife and I are hosting a Christmas party.
00:34:05You should come.
00:34:05Oh, thanks, Mr. Smith.
00:34:07But my mother would be furious if I missed her Christmas party.
00:34:11That's all right.
00:34:12Say hi to your mother for me, okay?
00:34:14And tell her, I wish I had a son like you.
00:34:17Really?
00:34:18I wish the melons were ripe.
00:34:22That would be nice for the table.
00:34:24Oh, this one's ready.
00:34:26Think.
00:34:26Yeah.
00:34:36Oh, this one's ready.
00:34:38Think.
00:34:39Yeah.
00:34:39Do you think we have enough for Christmas now?
00:34:43Yeah.
00:34:43Thank you so much for coming with me, sweetheart.
00:34:45It's the least I could do after the other day.
00:34:47Tom really went overboard.
00:34:49If I let every silly thing that boy said bother me, I would have been dead a hundred years ago.
00:34:55Let's see what else.
00:34:56Fill the cash now.
00:35:03Do it.
00:35:04Everybody down.
00:35:04I went through your hands.
00:35:07What should we do?
00:35:08The title transfer from party A shall not...
00:35:12Mr. Smith, are you all right?
00:35:23I'm fine.
00:35:24I'm fine.
00:35:24I'm fine.
00:35:26It's kind of a weird feeling about something.
00:35:29Like a bad feeling?
00:35:31Not sure.
00:35:34What should we do?
00:35:35We're pretty close to the entrance.
00:35:37Just follow me when he walks away.
00:35:43Chris, I can't run.
00:35:45Don't move.
00:35:46Don't move.
00:35:53There's a robber.
00:35:59The grocery store.
00:36:00There's one guy with a gun.
00:36:05We need an ambulance.
00:36:11Help is on the way.
00:36:13I'm fine.
00:36:17Boss, Mr. Fort is waiting for you in the conference room.
00:36:21Right.
00:36:23Come on, come on, come on, come on.
00:36:29Pick up, dare it.
00:36:46Please, pick up, come on, dare it.
00:37:01Pick up, come on, dare it, please.
00:37:04Who's there?
00:37:07Come out.
00:37:08Don't make me ask again.
00:37:09My team has done an appraisal for the property.
00:37:13It looks nice.
00:37:14And I think...
00:37:15Mr. 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.
00:37:34Why 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, my wife's with her.
00:37:57And...
00:37:57Calm 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 public...
00:38:14Be this fine.
00:38:16Are you okay?
00:38:19I think my water just broke.
00:38:21Don't move.
00:38:23Get up!
00:38:24Uh-huh.
00:38:25Don't shoot!
00:38:29That 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.
00:38:38Yes, sir.
00:38:40This country needs gun control.
00:38:42Let me get my weapon.
00:38:44What?
00:38:46Put the gun down.
00:38:47Get on your knees.
00:38:48Now.
00:38:49Um, okay.
00:38:49Okay.
00:38:50Okay.
00:38:51Okay.
00:38:52What do you want?
00:38:53You want money?
00:38:53You can have it.
00:38:54Stay out of your pockets.
00:38:55Okay.
00:38:56Please.
00:38:57My 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.
00:39:02You can have whatever you want.
00:39:03Just don't hurt us.
00:39:06Leave your phone, wallet, and purse.
00:39:08And get out.
00:39:09Don't tell anybody what happened here.
00:39:10Yes.
00:39:11Thank you so much.
00:39:12Okay.
00:39:12Of course.
00:39:13Come on.
00:39:17Did you call the cops?
00:39:24Did you call the cops?
00:39:26No, no, no.
00:39:27No, 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.
00:39:44Please, it's not too late to surrender, okay?
00:39:49You haven't done anything bad yet.
00:39:51My 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!
00:40:02Don'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, they'd be halfway out of town by now.
00:40:17It 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?
00:40:24Or they'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!
00:40:35Do 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.
00:40:47Oh, God, if my husband was alive, he would shoot you right on the spot!
00:41:05Oh, God.
00:41:17Oh, Susanna, don't cry for me.
00:41:34Oh, thank God.
00:41:37I thought I was going to lose you.
00:41:41The world goes on.
00:41:44I sang 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.
00:42:07Since I was born.
00:42:09Do you remember?
00:42:13Lisa!
00:42:15Oh, God, Lisa!
00:42:16Oh, my God, Lisa!
00:42:17Please wake up, Lisa!
00:42:18Oh, my God!
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.
00:42:41Hey.
00:42:41Hey.
00:42:41Hey.
00:42:42Hey.
00:42:42Hey.
00:42:43Hey.
00:42:47Doctor.
00:42:49Is that Lisa and my baby?
00:42:51Mother and daughter are both safe and healthy.

00:45:53That'd be great. Thanks.
00:46:02Mom, I need to tell you something.
00:46:05Um, it's about Mr. Smith.
00:46:11What about him?
00:46:13Don't tell me you don't like him.
00:46:15No, I think he's great, really.
00:46:18Oh.

00:46:25Good, good. Are 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.
00:46:41Well, I'm glad that Aunt Helen and Uncle Greg are still in love.
00:46:45Yeah, have you ever seen that couple not be together?
00:46:47Back to the point, Mom.
00:46:49Oh, that thought.
00:46:51That thought.
00:46:52Merry Christmas.
00:47:09Merry Christmas, buddy.
00:47:12Ooh, look at all this.
00:47:14Watch out.
00:47:14Be careful now.
00:47:15It's my special mac and cheese.
00:47:17Come on.
00:47:17All right.
00:47:19Yeah, you look nice.
00:47:20Thanks.
00:47:20Coming through.
00:47:22Ah.
00:47:24Tom, my 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.
00:47:38We just had a baby.
00:47:39What?
00:47:40Yeah.
00:47:41Oh, my God.
00:47:42Mom, Mom, can you hang on a second?
00:47:44Um, remember Antoine's mac and cheese?
00:47:47Um, 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.
00:48:02Hi, Chris.
00:48:04Dad, I mean, Jerry, uh, dropped us off.
00:48:07He's parking.
00:48:08Oh, come in.
00:48:09Come in.
00:48:10Come in.
00:48:12Uh, 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.
00:48:31Uh, I'm sorry.
00:48:32I'm sorry.
00:48:42May I come in, darling?
00:49:06Is this Tom Cruise?
00:49:09Because, 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.
00:49:28I don't know.
00:49:36Look at your sweater.
00:49:37I like it, bud.
00:49:39Jerry!
00:49:40My 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.
00:50:14Tom.
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-
00:50:24Come.
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?
00:50:53I just found out yesterday.
00:50:56I 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.
00:51:04Did you know he's supposed to be having dinner with the president?
00:51:10The president of the United States.
00:51:14I mean, the press is already wondering why he's missing and where he is.
00:51:17And if they find out that you two are married, you'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.
00:51:28Wow, you really are a lawyer.
00:51:32Oh, my God.
00:51:33Mom.
00:51:35Mom-o, 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- I couldn't find the right time.
00:52:09Bullshit.
00:52:09Tell her, right now, everything, Mr. Overdriver.
00:52:14There's an 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, I appreciate you telling me you didn't have my Christmas.
00:52:31I've never meant for any of this to happen.
00:52:33I was trying to find the best moment.
00:52:36I need some time.
00:52:37And some space.
00:52:47God.
00:52:48This is bad.
00:52:50Tom shouldn't have brought that up at Christmas.
00:52:53I mean, if someone was lying to my mom, I'd probably do the same thing.
00:52:57I'm not the time.
00:53:03I'm sorry, guys.
00:53:04I ruined Christmas.
00:53:05Dad, I'm sorry.
00:53:16I-
00:53:17I'm really screwed up.
00:53:25Where did that photo come from?
00:53:27It's a family photo from when I was younger.
00:53:34That's your family?
00:53:38That's your father, your mother, your sister, and yourself?
00:53:46I don't- I don't understand what's the big deal.
00:53:50I-
00:53:51Don't push me away.
00:54:04Jesus.
00:54:06Jesus.
00:54:08I've searched for 20 years to find someone like you.
00:54:13You make me feel young and alive.
00:54:19You have to understand, ever since the tragedy, I've only lived for my daughter.
00:54:24She'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.
00:54:42No one except you.
00:54:46Please.
00:54:48Chris.
00:54:50Please.
00:54:50I don't understand.
00:54:56Maybe it's time you tell me about the tragedy.
00:54:59What happened 20 years ago?
00:55:02Where did you get this?
00:55:05This is the last thing that she died in a landslide 20 years ago.
00:55:11A landslide where?
00:55:12The-
00:55:12The barren mountain?
00:55:1440 miles north of
00:55:15Anchorage, Alaska?
00:55:18Yeah.
00:55:19Yeah, that's exactly where-
00:55:21No, no, there'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.
00:55:30Jesus Christ.
00:55:33He's my dad?
00:55:35Yeah.
00:55:3520 years ago, my family went up to a barren mountain.
00:55:50Oh, God.
00:55:52Oh, Jesus.
00:55:54I don't know if I'm going to kill whoever is-
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?
00:56:00Oh, 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-
00:56:13I can't-
00:56:19What 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?
00:56:51You ruined my entire life.
00:56:53Now, this is what you get.
00:56:55Ah, Jerry!
00:56:59Oh, my God.
00:57:03Mom, are you okay?
00:57:06The police are on their way, asshole.
00:57:09This is all her fault.
00:57:10I'm not the one who tried to rob a bowling alley.
00:57:12I'm going to kill all y'all.
00:57:13Get some rope.
00:57:16I'm going to fuck you all.
00:57:20Shut the fuck up.
00:57:24Oh, my God.
00:57:25John, 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.
00:57:37That big thing's on the plate.
00:57:39Let's go.
00:57:40Let's go.
00:57:43Well, looks like someone made the naughty list this year.
00:57:59What happened to you?
00:58:02Why do you look so different?
00:58:05Why didn't you come back to me?
00:58:06What's this all about?
00:58:14Is she?
00:58:17Is she?
00:58:20Yes, Pa.
00:58:22That's Mom.
00:58:24And this is Tom.
00:58:28That's why I didn't recognize you before.
00:58:31Tom.
00:58:31You're my son.
00:58:37Tell me this is real.
00:58:39Please.
00:58:40Tom.
00:58:43Are you my wife?
00:58:46The Chris that I married?
00:58:49Did you hike Anchorage 20 years ago?
00:58:53Mount Maple?
00:58:54I guess so.
00:58:57I guess so.
00:58:59My memory.
00:59:01The accident.
00:59:02I can't remember who I was.
00:59:07My backpack.
00:59:09My ID.
00:59:10All gone.
00:59:13The only thing we have left is...
00:59:16And her.
00:59:24My God.
00:59:25How did you survive?
00:59:29A hunter.
00:59:30He found us in the woods.
00:59:32Injured and cold, but alive.
00:59:37I thought...
00:59:38I thought you...
00:59:41And Tom...
00:59:43I thought you were dead.
00:59:48I thought you were dead too.
01:00:00Mom and Dad.
01:00:05Son, get in here.
01:00:06Group hug, come on.
01:00:07Uh-huh.
01:00:10Uh-huh.
01:00:13You know...
01:00:15I've dreamed of this day a million times over, but...
01:00:21I never thought it would actually happen for real.
01:00:27It's a Christmas miracle.
01:00:29It would be more than one of me.
01:00:34Would you like some...
01:00:35It's a Christmas miracle.
01:00:36Yeah, final trip.
01:00:38Yeah, start.
01:00:39Whoa.
01:00:41Can you give me some?
01:00:45Yeah, what's mine with Jesus?
01:00:47You're like...
01:00:48This wine is like...
01:00:49Darling...
01:00:51Are you staying tonight?
01:00:53Of course.
01:00:54I've waited over 20 years for this.
01:00:56Thank you all for joining our family here today.
01:01:10It's been a long road.
01:01:14A strange journey.
01:01:17But there is no place I'd rather be.
01:01:19After 20 years apart, fate has given us the best Christmas gift of all.
01:01:26Each other.
01:01:29Merry Christmas.
01:01:30Merry Christmas.
01:01:31Merry Christmas.
01:01:31Merry Christmas.
01:01:32Merry Christmas.
