00:00:00Good morning, Barry.
00:00:20Good morning, Barry.
00:00:40Hi.
00:01:09Merry Christmas Eve, Santa.
00:01:11Right back at you, Miss Naughty and Nice.
00:01:14Are we still on for lunch today?
00:01:15I'll definitely try.
00:01:18La Petite Maison, one o'clock.
00:01:20It took me months to snag the reservation.
00:01:22Let's not waste it.
00:01:23Okay.
00:01:24Okay.
00:01:30Good luck today.
00:01:35Luck's got nothing to do with it.
00:01:47Good morning, Mr. Carter.
00:02:01Morning, Mr. Carter.
00:02:02Barry?
00:02:03It's Barry.
00:02:21Hello, Marilyn.
00:02:22Calvin, you promised.
00:02:23You promised you weren't going to work today.
00:02:25Hey, it's not my fault.
00:02:26The Latin American Commerce Commission...
00:02:28I know your excuses.
00:02:29I didn't know they were going to send one of their representatives today, but they did.
00:02:32They bark, I jump, my dear ex-wife.
00:02:33You don't jump when anyone barks.
00:02:35Well, excuse me for trying to close the biggest deal of my life.
00:02:40Eric is singing at 2.30.
00:02:42You be there.
00:02:44What's wrong?
00:02:47Nothing is wrong.
00:02:50Except I needed a kiss.
00:02:53And it looks like something's come up for your daddy.
00:02:57So, I'm thinking he might not be able to make it.
00:02:59I don't care.
00:03:23It's Christmas Eve, Tari.
00:03:24You can't expect me to work all day.
00:03:26We're going to see Santa, Daddy.
00:03:28He's a lucky guy, Morgan.
00:03:29Why aren't you coming with us?
00:03:31I got work to do.
00:03:32And it's because of that work that Daddy's able to take such good care of us.
00:03:35That's right.
00:03:36Can I tell Santa what you want for Christmas, Daddy?
00:03:38A day off would be nice.
00:03:40Look, I don't want anything for Christmas.
00:03:41I got everything I need right here.
00:03:43Okay?
00:03:47You better get in there before Calvin throws a fit.
00:03:48All right.
00:03:50Now, let's not keep Santa waiting.
00:03:52In you go.
00:03:53Bye, guys.
00:03:54Bye.
00:03:55Bye.
00:03:59Drew?
00:04:00Calvin?
00:04:01Who are they, sir?
00:04:02Isabel Frais, VP International Markets.
00:04:04From Brazil.
00:04:05How's your Spanish?
00:04:06Brazilians speak Portuguese.
00:04:08And she's on her way to Sao Paulo from?
00:04:10New York, where she was meeting with the CEOs of Nothing Over 97 Cents and Bargain Guys.
00:04:14Why on earth is she wasting her time with those losers, huh?
00:04:17Sao Paulo.
00:04:19Repeat after me.
00:04:20Sao.
00:04:21Paulo.
00:04:22Lo.
00:04:25What are we thinking, Drew?
00:04:27Failure is not an option.
00:04:28Yes.
00:04:29And what are we going to be doing to our competition, Drew?
00:04:32We're going to bury them.
00:04:34Let's start digging their graves.
00:04:36Right.
00:04:39Morning, Stacy.
00:04:40She's here.
00:04:41What?
00:04:42Her plane was early.
00:04:44Did you get the coffee and fruit?
00:04:45All set up.
00:04:46Coffee and fruit?
00:04:47Are you kidding me?
00:04:48Is that the best we could do?
00:04:49Yes, the Brazilian breakfast of choice.
00:04:52Huh.
00:04:53Perfect.
00:04:57Can we send Stacy home?
00:04:59Oh, absolutely not.
00:05:01What if we need more coffee and fruit?
00:05:20Mr. Carter.
00:05:21Please.
00:05:22It's, uh, it's Calvin.
00:05:23Isabel Frias.
00:05:24Oh, it's so nice to finally meet you.
00:05:27Uh, this is my executive assistant, Drew Quinn.
00:05:30Drew, Ms. Frias.
00:05:31Hello.
00:05:32It's so kind of you both to meet with me so at short notice.
00:05:35And on Christmas Eve.
00:05:36Well, we would meet with you anytime, anywhere.
00:05:38Eye on the prize.
00:05:40That's our motto.
00:05:41That's right.
00:05:42This breakfast is marvelous, by the way.
00:05:44Huh.
00:05:45On a day when I should be with my family,
00:05:47it makes me feel right at home.
00:05:48Well, I hoped it would.
00:05:52Ah.
00:05:53So let me tell you a little bit about our company.
00:05:56It's a classic mom and pop store.
00:05:58Started off with a dozen bobby pins,
00:06:00some shoelaces, and a real American work ethic.
00:06:03Do you know all the words to your song?
00:06:05No.
00:06:06No.
00:06:07Come on.
00:06:08Come on, honey.
00:06:10Oh, hey.
00:06:11It snowed last night.
00:06:13Hey, Grandpa.
00:06:14Hey, Grandpa.
00:06:15Actually, Dad, it snowed a few days ago.
00:06:18I knew that.
00:06:20But I do know that today is Christmas Eve.
00:06:23And you know what that means, kids?
00:06:25Party.
00:06:26Yeah, our world famous party.
00:06:27Candy canes.
00:06:29Aw.
00:06:30This is the oatmeal.
00:06:31Dad.
00:06:32Dad.
00:06:33I'm sure everybody at the store would
00:06:35understand if you couldn't handle the canes today.
00:06:37It's a tradition.
00:06:39We're doing it.
00:06:43You're the boss.
00:06:45Don't you forget it, OK?
00:06:47Our industry-leading margins give our investors
00:06:50a more competitive return for their money.
00:06:52Now, as we expand into Latin America,
00:06:54we're going to be looking for equity investors
00:06:56to combine our margin expertise with local purchasing power.
00:07:00I like your style, Mr. Carter.
00:07:02I've read your business plan.
00:07:04I wouldn't be here if I didn't think
00:07:05you had tremendous potential.
00:07:07Oh, it's beyond tremendous.
00:07:09But I didn't take a detour on my way home
00:07:11so you could tell me face to face what I already know.
00:07:15You took your failing family business.
00:07:17In chapter 11, the day I took over from my father,
00:07:20in the black a year after that.
00:07:22And turned it into one of the biggest
00:07:23discount chains in America.
00:07:25As of last quarter, number two, and climbing.
00:07:28We have a saying in Brazil.
00:07:30Ante ação que mau acompanhado.
00:07:33Better alone than in bad company.
00:07:36To understand your company, I need to understand you.
00:07:39To see for Latin America, you will be good company.
00:07:42Oh, anything you'd like.
00:07:44I'm all yours.
00:07:45I want to visit your stores.
00:07:47Get to know what's special about you and your world.
00:07:52Absolutely.
00:07:54How much time have you got?
00:07:56My flight isn't until nine tonight.
00:08:03Well, here it is.
00:08:05The flagship store where it all began.
00:08:08Coins.
00:08:11Calvin, Calvin.
00:08:13How long are you going to need me today?
00:08:14Until we're done.
00:08:15But it's Christmas Eve.
00:08:17Eye on the prize, Drew.
00:08:18Failure is not an option.
00:08:29Slow up, big brother, slow up.
00:08:31Calvin.
00:08:33Calvin.
00:08:35What a nice surprise.
00:08:38Dad's going to be so pleased to see you.
00:08:41Hey, good to see you, Drew.
00:08:43Come on, let's go say hi to Dad.
00:08:46Pops.
00:08:48Could you show me your storeroom?
00:08:50Right this way.
00:08:57He's not here to see Dad do the candy cane thing.
00:09:00No.
00:09:02Silly me.
00:09:03I thought just this once he'd quit family before business.
00:09:06This Latin American rap, it's important.
00:09:10Have a good Christmas, Drew.
00:09:12And a Merry Christmas, Jessie.
00:09:24Hello?
00:09:25Mariana, hi, it's Drew.
00:09:26Oh, Drew, hi.
00:09:28Still with the Latin American rap.
00:09:30Listen, he'd, um...
00:09:33He'd like to take her someplace nice for lunch.
00:09:35And, um, he was wondering about the reservation...
00:09:38Oh, but the reservation's for two.
00:09:40I don't think they can add an extra seat.
00:09:42That's not really what he had in mind.
00:09:45He wants to take her in my place?
00:09:48On my reservation?
00:09:50Can you put him on the phone?
00:09:53Uh, he can't come to the phone right now.
00:09:55He's, uh, he's showing her the elementary school
00:09:58he used to go to, if you can believe it.
00:10:00So what do you say about that reservation?
00:10:05Sure.
00:10:07Why not?
00:10:09♪ Deck the halls with boughs of holly
00:10:13♪ La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
00:10:16♪ Tis the season to be jolly

00:10:38♪ La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
00:10:41He still hasn't shown her.
00:10:44♪ La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
00:10:47♪ Bounty man or gay or carol
00:10:50You misunderstood me.
00:10:52I said...
00:10:53Amazing success at North
00:10:55working with local partners up there.
00:10:57So for me, expanding south of the county
00:10:59and bringing in local partners,
00:11:01isn't just good business.
00:11:03It's goodwill.
00:11:04And it's a chance to bring
00:11:06both our Americas together.
00:11:09I couldn't agree with you more.
00:11:11Great. Great.
00:11:13Great.
00:11:14Cheers.
00:11:15We'll get each other.
00:11:16Cheers.
00:11:23I thought you'd like to know the concert is over.
00:11:26Oh.
00:11:27Can I say hi to him?
00:11:31No.
00:11:32No, you can't say hi to him.
00:11:33You can talk to him tomorrow.
00:11:34You are coming over for Christmas, aren't you?
00:11:37I'll definitely try.
00:11:39No, don't try, Calvin.
00:11:41Just be there.
00:11:46Sorry.
00:11:47Interested in a little dessert?
00:11:49Absolutely.
00:11:50You are?
00:11:51Oh, terrific.
00:11:52Well, have a nice time.
00:11:53I'll be just a couple of minutes.
00:11:55Thanks.
00:12:01♪
00:12:32So, as you can tell,
00:12:34we really value the type of architecture
00:12:36that our customers will see,
00:12:38will be uplifted when they come into the store.
00:12:40Now, Drew was actually really instrumental
00:12:43in finding local artisans and craftspeople
00:12:45to work on this design.
00:12:47I appreciate it.
00:12:48♪
00:12:54Is that the panda?
00:12:56The panda on the tree.
00:12:59Crystal, you want to show Grandpa your horse?
00:13:02Show Grandpa your horses.
00:13:04Hi.
00:13:05Hi.
00:13:06How are you?
00:13:07Oh, you look beautiful.
00:13:09Who's that one?
00:13:10Mom.
00:13:11Oh, I can't.
00:13:12I can't believe you two are together.
00:13:14Well, that's Marilyn, Dad.
00:13:15Calvin's ex-wife.
00:13:16You saw her this afternoon.
00:13:18Right.
00:13:19They're divorced.
00:13:20I mean, why isn't she here?
00:13:22I don't know.
00:13:23I don't know.
00:13:24I don't know.
00:13:25I don't know.
00:13:26I don't know.
00:13:27I mean, why isn't she with her own family?
00:13:30Well, because Eric, your grandson,
00:13:32likes to spend Christmas with his cousins.
00:13:35I know my grandson.
00:13:37Not completely out of my mind, you know.
00:13:42I've had a wonderful time.
00:13:43You, your business, Drew,
00:13:46everything exceeded my expectations.
00:13:48An unusual Christmas Eve, to be sure,
00:13:50but you made it very special.
00:13:52I'm going to give your business plan
00:13:54a very serious consideration.
00:13:56Merry Christmas, Calvin.
00:13:58Merry Christmas.
00:13:59Merry Christmas.
00:14:00Merry Christmas.
00:14:01Good luck.
00:14:07We did it, Drister.
00:14:08We sold her.
00:14:09Latin America is ours!
00:14:11Come on, it's not definitive.
00:14:13Close enough.
00:14:14Hey, who's close for a drink?
00:14:15Look, it's late.
00:14:16I should be getting going.
00:14:17Come on, you deserve it.
00:14:19All right, one.
00:14:27Pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa!
00:14:32Piñatas.
00:14:33That's what we need.
00:14:34Start stocking the store with piñatas.
00:14:37All right, I'll get on that.
00:14:38But don't put candy in them.
00:14:39Don't put anything in them.
00:14:40Nothing in them?
00:14:41Yeah, people will have to buy the candy
00:14:42to put into the piñatas.
00:14:45Today, Latin America.
00:14:47Tomorrow, El Mundo.
00:14:50Cheers.
00:14:52I mean, it's something.
00:14:53Man to man.
00:14:57Was it my imagination?
00:15:00Or was Isabel coming on to me?
00:15:03Look, I should be getting home.
00:15:06Have a fantastic dinner with your family.
00:15:09Actually, they already ate.
00:15:11Tara's parents came over early.
00:15:13Well, I'm sure she kept the plate warm.
00:15:16Merry Christmas.
00:15:19Merry Christmas.
00:15:49The kid painted it himself.
00:15:53He's a genius.
00:15:56Let's rip off the old block.
00:16:19Merry Christmas.
00:16:49Hello?
00:17:20Hello?
00:17:24Doctor?
00:17:28Nurse?
00:17:31Hi, Calvin. I'm Angie.
00:17:33Where am I?
00:17:35County General?
00:17:36No.
00:17:38So, where am I?
00:17:41Right here.
00:17:46What happened?
00:17:47How do you mean?
00:17:48The sign on my building.
00:17:51The huge hand was coming right at me.
00:17:54I thought I was toast.
00:17:56Pancake is more like it.
00:17:59Yeah.
00:18:02Um, I'd like to see a doctor now, please.
00:18:06No doctor's on duty.
00:18:07Well, then I need to call my personal physician.
00:18:10He doesn't have privileges here.
00:18:11Well, you don't even know who he is.
00:18:13Sherman Kleinbaum, 1310 Elm.
00:18:15This is ridiculous.
00:18:17There's nothing wrong with me.
00:18:19Hey, you gotta calm down. You're spiking the meter.
00:18:21It's obvious that the sign didn't hit me, so I'm going home.
00:18:23I wouldn't do that if I were you.
00:18:25Why?
00:18:27Is there...
00:18:29Is there something wrong with me?
00:18:31It's internal.
00:18:34Is it serious?
00:18:35Yeah.
00:18:38Am I gonna make it?
00:18:40At this point, we just don't know.
00:18:43Oh, my God.
00:18:46After having the best Christmas Eve of my life.
00:18:50You did?
00:18:52The best ever?
00:18:53Yes.
00:18:54Wow.
00:18:56Congratulations.
00:19:12Oh, my God.
00:19:43Merry Christmas Eve, Santa.
00:19:46Merry Christmas?
00:19:49Eager beaver.
00:19:51We're still on for lunch today, right?
00:19:53What?
00:19:55La Petite Maison, 1 o'clock.
00:19:57Took me months to snag the reservation.
00:19:59Another reservation?
00:20:01Let's not waste it.
00:20:03Hmm.
00:20:07Good luck today.
00:20:13Coffee.
00:20:26Are you okay?
00:20:29I...
00:20:31I don't know.
00:20:33Aren't you going to the office?
00:20:36It's Christmas.
00:20:38No, it's Christmas Eve.
00:20:42You know...
00:20:44Either I'm experiencing the weirdest déjà vu ever,
00:20:48or I've actually lived this day before.
00:20:52Was it at least a good day?
00:20:54It's great.
00:20:56It was almost perfect.
00:20:58Good. So enjoy it all over again and make it perfect.
00:21:13Morning, Mr. Carter.
00:21:15Hey.
00:21:18We've done this before, haven't we?
00:21:20Done what?
00:21:21Oh, I come out.
00:21:23You say, morning, Mr. Carter.
00:21:25Well, yeah, we pretty much do this every day.
00:21:29You okay, Mr. C?
00:21:31Feeling like a hamster on a wheel, Harry.
00:21:35Like a hamster.
00:21:37On a wheel.
00:21:42On a wheel.
00:21:58Drew?
00:21:59Kelly.
00:22:00Isabel Fries.
00:22:02Isabel speaks Portuguese.
00:22:05Drew.
00:22:07Is time relative?
00:22:09Does time warp back in on itself?
00:22:13And if so, why?
00:22:16I don't know. I've never really thought about it before.
00:22:19Why? There's got to be a reason.
00:22:24Morning, Stacy.
00:22:26I know. She's already here.
00:22:29Huh.
00:22:35If in the midst of difficulties we are ready to seize an advantage,
00:22:39we may extricate ourselves from misfortune.
00:22:43The art of war.
00:22:45Make it perfect.
00:22:49Make it perfect.
00:22:56Miss Fries?
00:22:58Hi, Calvin Carter.
00:23:03Have we met before?
00:23:06Don't believe so.
00:23:08Oh, how marvelous it is to see you.
00:23:12Are you enjoying breakfast?
00:23:14It seemed to us that on a day where you probably wish you were with your family,
00:23:17coffee and fruit would make you feel right at home.
00:23:20Yes, it certainly does.
00:23:22Oh, good.
00:23:50You know, Isabel,
00:23:53I bet you've read our business plan.
00:23:57Yes, I have.
00:23:59And you didn't take a detour on your way home,
00:24:02so I could tell you face to face what you already know.
00:24:05Did you?
00:24:07Well, no, I didn't.
00:24:09You know what?
00:24:11I think you and I should spend today together
00:24:14to get to know me and my world,
00:24:17this special city which gave birth to the buck stops here.
00:24:21I like that.
00:24:23Do you have the time, Miss Fries?
00:24:25Your flight's not until 9.
00:24:37Interesting.
00:24:40Calvin, how long are you going to need me to hang?
00:24:48Hi.
00:24:50I have some calls to make. You take her in the show room.
00:25:02You know, we have an old saying in America.
00:25:06Better alone than in bad company.
00:25:09So do we.
00:25:11Oh.
00:25:13It's a good company.
00:25:20Something important we have to do.
00:25:22On the third day of Christmas, my true love gave to me
00:25:25Three French hens, two turtledoves
00:25:28And a partridge in a pear tree
00:25:31On the fourth day of Christmas, my true love gave to me
00:25:35Four hollywoods, three French hens, two turtledoves
00:25:39And a partridge in a pear tree
00:25:45Hey!
00:25:46You made it!
00:25:47Of course I made it. You rock, dude. You were great.
00:25:50Hey, this is, uh, Miss Fries.
00:25:52She's one of my new friends. She's visiting us from Brazil.
00:25:54Calvin?
00:25:56Oh, uh, you know what? We really gotta go.
00:26:04What a wonderful boy.
00:26:06Daddy's pride and joy.
00:26:08Beautiful.
00:26:12It would be inappropriate for me at this time to say anything on the record,
00:26:15But off the record, welcome to Latin America.
00:26:19Merry Christmas.
00:26:20Merry Christmas.
00:26:21Merry Christmas, sir.
00:26:22Goodbye.
00:26:23Goodbye.
00:26:30Perfect! Perfect! That... That...
00:26:32That was perfect.
00:26:34Okay. Let's have a drink.
00:26:50Mmm.
00:27:12Fool me once, shame on you.
00:27:14Fool me twice, you don't get fooled again.
00:27:20Whoa!
00:27:35Boy, I just had the greatest dream.
00:27:39Until the last part.
00:27:41When that big old snowplow ran you over?
00:27:43Yeah.
00:27:45How'd you know that?
00:27:47You think an important guy like you is gonna get assigned a candy striper?
00:27:53Sweet dreams.
00:28:17Merry Christmas.
00:28:44Are you okay?
00:28:46It's a test.
00:28:48It's got to be some kind of test.
00:28:52What has to be some kind of test?
00:28:54Do not repeat the tactics which have gained you one victory,
00:28:58But let your methods be regulated by the infinite variety of circumstances.
00:29:02The art of war.
00:29:04My path today.
00:29:06Wait, watch, listen, and learn.
00:29:11Well, I have the day off.
00:29:13My path?
00:29:14Dress, shop, La Petite Maison.
00:29:16One o'clock.
00:29:17Don't forget.
00:29:27Something no one's ever done before.
00:29:30Brazil, Venezuela, Argentina.
00:29:35Unify the two Americas.
00:29:37Those ones are done.
00:29:43How great is that?
00:29:47Wow, I can't believe it.
00:29:53Wow.
00:29:54Nothing to lose.
00:29:56More energy.
00:29:57We can win in our ways.
00:29:59We can ask for change.
00:30:00That's the thing.
00:30:01The two Americas together.
00:30:02In a creative way.
00:30:03To learn.
00:30:04In a sensual way.
00:30:05To be there.
00:30:06To teach.
00:30:07To train some more people.
00:30:09To do the same thing as you guys.
00:30:10Realize they're all very different.
00:30:12We have in Brazil all the local artists from each city.
00:30:16They collaborate in the stores.
00:30:18Is that something you guys do here too?
00:30:21Not really.
00:30:27Mr. Carter wasn't at all what I expected.
00:30:30I've never spent a day with someone so reflective.
00:30:34Oh, he's a deep, deep thinker.
00:30:37Apparently.
00:30:38Well, goodbye.
00:30:39Goodbye.
00:30:40Can I tell Mr. Carter when we might hear about our proposal?
00:30:43There's several proposals on my desk right now.
00:30:45I will let you know.
00:31:04Calvin, you okay?
00:31:07It's like Sisyphus.
00:31:09What?
00:31:10Sisyphus.
00:31:11The guy pushing the rock up the hill.
00:31:13At the end of every day, he'd reach the top,
00:31:15and then it would roll back down to the bottom,
00:31:16and he'd have to do it all over again the next day.
00:31:18I know the myth.
00:31:19The question is,
00:31:21whether God's testing him
00:31:23or whether they're punishing him.
00:31:27Look, Calvin, I gotta get home.
00:31:29Merry Christmas.
00:31:32Merry Christmas.
00:31:39Merry Christmas.
00:32:10Ooh!
00:32:12Oh!
00:32:13Ah-ha-ha!
00:32:15Oh!
00:32:18Ah!
00:32:20Okay.
00:32:34I know you're out there.
00:32:36Welcome back.
00:32:42Angie, huh?
00:32:43What's that?
00:32:44Short for angel?
00:32:46No, just Angie.
00:32:47Oh.
00:32:49Well, then what are you?
00:32:50A ghost of Christmas past or something?
00:32:53Ooh, where are your chains?
00:32:54That's funny.
00:32:59Am I being punished?
00:33:01Am I being punished?
00:33:02Because if this is about that little EPA decision
00:33:05at the Atlanta store,
00:33:06I knew nothing about toxic runoff, okay?
00:33:09We know that. You're not being punished.
00:33:12So then this is a test, right?
00:33:16This is a test.
00:33:17I just wake up on Christmas Eve forever until...
00:33:21what?
00:33:22You'll figure it out.
00:33:23Figure it out?
00:33:24I gotta know what the angle is.
00:33:25If I'm gonna do business with you,
00:33:26I gotta know what the angle is.
00:33:27Successful entrepreneur like you,
00:33:28use your imagination.
00:33:29All right, come on, come on.
00:33:30Don't be cute.
00:33:31Just give me a clue.
00:33:32I already have.
00:33:35All right.
00:33:37Okay, so...
00:33:39All right.
00:33:40I wake up on this kind of, ooh, eerie,
00:33:43never-never land, ooh, scary,
00:33:46having lived my best Christmas Eve ever,
00:33:49and you send me back to live it
00:33:51over and over and over again
00:33:54because I haven't lived my best Christmas Eve ever?
00:34:00Wow, that was fast. I'm impressed.
00:34:02Ah.
00:34:03But I did, didn't I?
00:34:06Not even close.
00:34:08I sure felt like a great day.
00:34:10Oh, and you don't have forever.
00:34:11You have 12 days.
00:34:12Oh, okay.
00:34:13So I have 12 days to crack this.
00:34:14Well, nine, actually,
00:34:15because you've already had three.
00:34:16Oh, wait a second.
00:34:17Hold it, hold it, hold it.
00:34:18I didn't know what the rules were until now.
00:34:20You gotta give me 12 more of these
00:34:21or else the game is rigged.
00:34:22Oh, it's definitely rigged.
00:34:24All right, I'll do 11.
00:34:26Nope.
00:34:27All right, 10.
00:34:2810's my final offer.
00:34:29You really think you can negotiate your way out of this?
00:34:32All right, nine's plenty.
00:34:34Good, that's a relief.
00:34:35Because, you know, I'm the one who has to stay here with you,
00:34:37and I hate missing Christmas.
00:34:38You're as good as there, Ange.
00:34:40You're as good as there.
00:34:41Good.
00:34:42Hey, good luck.
00:34:44Luck has nothing to do with it.
00:34:50Brewster, gird your loins.
00:34:52We're gonna be making a little history today.
00:34:58Oh!
00:35:00Oh!
00:35:01It's all good, it's all good.
00:35:03Stacy, get me channel 7.
00:35:06Now you'll be doing a good deed.
00:35:08But this is highly unusual.
00:35:10So?
00:35:13It's just...
00:35:16Have you researched the tax implications here?
00:35:20Okay.
00:35:22I'll make it as simple for you as I can.
00:35:24If I don't get what I want in five minutes,
00:35:26then in five minutes and one second,
00:35:28I will no longer be a customer at this bank.
00:35:34I'll be right back.
00:35:38Five minutes.
00:35:46Merry Christmas.
00:35:47Hey, hey, hey, hey.
00:35:48Hello, handsome.
00:35:50Want a ball for me?
00:35:52No, you're sharing.
00:35:53All right, well, let me put them underneath the tree.
00:35:55Uh, Ignaz?
00:35:56Yes, please.
00:35:57Nice.
00:35:59Hey!
00:36:06Hey, sweetie.
00:36:07Hi, Hank.
00:36:09How are you?
00:36:10Well, I remember who you are,
00:36:12so it's a good day.
00:36:14Here we are.
00:36:16You're welcome.
00:36:17Well, cheers.
00:36:18Merry Christmas.
00:36:19Cheers.
00:36:23Uh, want to grab some food?
00:36:25I would love to.
00:36:26Be back in a minute.
00:36:27I can't believe Calvin missed Eric's concert.
00:36:30You know what the sad thing is?
00:36:32He's gonna wake up someday,
00:36:34realize all the things he's missed out on,
00:36:36and really regret it.
00:36:37Yeah, well, he's not a total fool.
00:36:39He was smart enough to fall for you.
00:36:41Greatest sister-in-law ever.
00:36:43Ha, ha, ha.
00:36:44You're cut off.
00:36:46Even Mom was crazy about you.
00:36:48And she was never wrong about anything.
00:36:53I made them.
00:36:55For Lemon Snowbars?
00:36:57Oh.
00:36:58Yeah.
00:37:00First one's for you.
00:37:06Mom, Mom, Mom!
00:37:07Mom, Mom!
00:37:08Hurry!
00:37:09Mom!
00:37:10Mom!
00:37:11Here!
00:37:12Oh!
00:37:13Here!
00:37:15This is gonna be great!
00:37:18It's Daddy!
00:37:19What?
00:37:20What?
00:37:21What?
00:37:23That's $12,100 bills.
00:37:25Carter said he wanted to make today special,
00:37:28and for thousands of lucky people, he did just that.
00:37:31Because before the day was over,
00:37:33an exhausted Carter had handed out all $12,000 bills.
00:37:36I know.
00:37:38So why did he do such an extraordinary thing?
00:37:40Let's ask the man himself.
00:37:42We all know that Christmas isn't about getting,
00:37:44it's about giving.
00:37:46I love this city because...
00:37:48because...
00:37:52because the people of this city have been so good to me and my family.
00:37:57But why $1.2 million?
00:38:00Well, it's $100,000 for each of the 12 days of Christmas.
00:38:04Well, this is going to be a Christmas
00:38:06people are going to remember for a very, very long time.
00:38:09Well, I hope so, Jenna. I sincerely do.
00:38:11Oh, and also, I just want to remind your viewers that,
00:38:14in the spirit of Christmas,
00:38:15that all our stores nationwide will be open until 11 tonight.
00:38:18Merry Christmas, everyone.
00:38:20And God bless.
00:38:22It was incredible.
00:38:24I've never experienced anything like it.
00:38:26We'll come back and see us. We'll do it again.
00:38:28Oh, I'll be back.
00:38:30We're going to be seeing a lot of each other.
00:38:32I promise you.
00:38:33Thank you, Isabella. Thank you.
00:38:35From the bottom of my heart.
00:38:38Merry Christmas.
00:38:39Merry Christmas.
00:38:42Merry Christmas.
00:38:43Merry Christmas.
00:38:44Goodbye.
00:38:45Goodbye.
00:38:49Mmm.
00:38:55I learned a lot about Christmas today, Drew.
00:38:58That is to share...
00:39:01and share generously.
00:39:03Mmm.
00:39:14Come on, come on, come on, come on.
00:39:23Huh?
00:39:33Whoa!
00:39:35Come on, sucker!
00:39:43Oh.
00:39:51Oh.
00:40:08Hi.
00:40:13I handed out over a million dollars.
00:40:16Gave it away. Yeah.
00:40:17Wow, that was really generous of you.
00:40:19I'm not fishing for compliments.
00:40:20Oh, no, you wouldn't do that, right?
00:40:22So what, did the TV crew just show up by itself?
00:40:25Wanted to use the media to inspire others.
00:40:28To be shameless self-promoters like you?
00:40:30All right, now, look.
00:40:31I've only got eight days to figure this out.
00:40:32What's it going to take?
00:40:33I don't know. It's hard to say,
00:40:34because every patient's different.
00:40:35Well, how am I going to know if I did it?
00:40:36Because you'll wake up and it'll be Christmas.
00:40:38And if I don't wake up?
00:40:40Ah.
00:40:44Ah.
00:40:47Oh.
00:40:49I hope we have enough.
00:40:50I don't know.
00:40:51We didn't have enough last year.
00:40:53Here, take this and this.
00:40:55Yeah, thanks.
00:40:56All right, I think we have enough here, Dad.
00:40:58What?
00:41:06Oh, no, I can't see.
00:41:07Come on.
00:41:08Oh, thanks.
00:41:09Come on, come on, come on.
00:41:11Come on.
00:41:12It's going to be fun.
00:41:14Merry Christmas.
00:41:15Bye-bye.
00:41:16Thank you very much.
00:41:17Hey.
00:41:18Great time off, okay?
00:41:19Merry Christmas.
00:41:20Save yourself.
00:41:21Ah.
00:41:22Merry Christmas.
00:41:23Dad, I'll be right back.
00:41:25Why don't you just keep unloading?
00:41:28I hope you enjoy that.
00:41:29Okay, Merry Christmas.
00:41:30Hey, Merry Christmas, you.
00:41:33Cal?
00:41:34Hey, there he is.
00:41:35Ah.
00:41:36What's going on?
00:41:38We're closed.
00:41:39Closed?
00:41:40Our flagship store, all the stores nationwide.
00:41:42Gave every employee day off with full pay.
00:41:44You have any idea how much money I'm going to lose?
00:41:47Bye.
00:41:48Have a great holiday.
00:41:50Hey, um, it's Christmas Eve, Cal.
00:41:53Dad always likes to walk the aisles
00:41:55and hand out the canes on Christmas Eve.
00:41:57Not this year.
00:41:58He really looks forward to this.
00:42:00He's lucky there's still a store for him to come to.
00:42:04Lucky that somebody stepped in to save it.
00:42:07He loves this store.
00:42:09And he loves handing out the canes.
00:42:11Next year.
00:42:12Take care.
00:42:13He's losing his mind, Calvin.
00:42:15You know what?
00:42:17He may not have a next year.
00:42:20Oh, so you're just going to spoil
00:42:22Dad's favorite day of the year so you can be a big shot?
00:42:25Yeah, I gave my employees a paid holiday.
00:42:27That's not being a big shot.
00:42:29That's being a leader.
00:42:30But you wouldn't know about that, would you?
00:42:32You're your father's son.
00:42:36So are you.
00:42:38Start acting like it.
00:42:44Manhole.
00:42:45You had me walk into an open manhole.
00:42:47Who am I, Wile E. Coyote?
00:42:49My personal favorite.
00:42:51Just trying to keep it interesting.
00:42:53Mm.
00:42:58So what else happened today?
00:43:01Nothing.
00:43:08I'm giving to the wrong people, aren't I?
00:43:15Honey, you know how my brother
00:43:17sends us a gift every Christmas?
00:43:19He forget this year?
00:43:21Oh, no.
00:43:22He didn't forget.
00:43:27Mr. Carter, this delivery is for you.
00:43:30No, we don't need any more.
00:43:32No, it's not a mistake, sir.
00:43:33This is yours.
00:43:34Yeah, but we never ordered it,
00:43:35and we got a house full of stuff.
00:43:36I don't need it.
00:43:37Is it just furniture?
00:43:38Mm-hmm.
00:43:39Top of the line for every room in the house.
00:43:42I don't know how a guy can be so successful
00:43:45and so clueless at the same time.
00:43:47You understand?
00:43:48Go on, get.
00:43:49Dad.
00:43:50Dad.
00:43:51I mean, it's ridiculous.
00:43:52I know, I know.
00:43:53Just calm down, okay?
00:43:54I'll deal with this.
00:43:55Well, okay.
00:43:56So I'm going to sign this,
00:43:58and I'm taking it back, okay?
00:43:59Yeah, right.
00:44:17Hi.
00:44:19Excuse me, um, what are you doing?
00:44:22Delivering a boat.
00:44:23I didn't order a boat.
00:44:25820 Prospect Street,
00:44:27Marilyn Carter.
00:44:28Let me see that.
00:44:30It's awesome!
00:44:35The cabin?
00:44:36Okay, it's that.
00:44:38Oh!
00:44:40Calvin?
00:44:41Is that a great boat or what?
00:44:45Calvin, what is this all about?
00:44:47It's Christmas Eve, Marilyn.
00:44:48Feel the love.
00:44:49I don't want a boat, Calvin.
00:44:51It's for Eric.
00:44:52He's nine years old.
00:44:53It's awesome!
00:44:54It's got everything!
00:44:55Autopilot, radar, Xbox.
00:44:58He loves boats.
00:45:00He'll have a blast on it.
00:45:01With you?
00:45:02With whoever he wants.
00:45:03Okay, listen to me, Calvin.
00:45:04We don't want a boat, okay?
00:45:05It's too expensive.
00:45:06It's...
00:45:07You don't object to the expensive gifts
00:45:08you get from me the rest of the year.
00:45:10Are you talking about child support?
00:45:11Incredibly generous child support,
00:45:13and a house, and a car.
00:45:15Let's not forget the huge settlement.
00:45:17Okay, you know what?
00:45:18I don't have time for this
00:45:19because I have a concert to get to,
00:45:20and Eric expects to see you there.
00:45:23Take it back.
00:45:24We don't want it.
00:45:25Just...
00:45:27Eric?
00:45:32I didn't get a whole day!
00:45:33Well, it wasn't going very well.
00:45:35Hey, I only get 12 of these things.
00:45:36You can't cut them in half.
00:45:37I'll take it up with management.
00:45:38You know what?
00:45:39I want to speak to your supervisor.
00:45:41Sorry, it's not possible.
00:45:42You're stuck with me.
00:45:44How come she gave me such a hard time?
00:45:46I had to pull a lot of strings to get that boat.
00:45:48Why do you have to be so over the top?
00:45:49Well, you know,
00:45:50I'm just an over-the-top kind of guy.
00:45:51And why do I have to be stuck with you?
00:45:53Because I was just the one on duty,
00:45:55so deal with it.
00:46:16Merry Christmas!
00:46:17Merry, merry Christmas!
00:46:20Merry Christmas to you, oh, and to you!
00:46:23Merry, merry Christmas!
00:46:25Let me give you a hand with that.
00:46:26Calvin!
00:46:27Yeah, yeah.
00:46:28Oh, there you are, my friend.
00:46:29They all like the paints, don't they, Dad?
00:46:31Always have, always have.
00:46:33Merry Christmas.
00:46:34Merry Christmas.
00:46:35Merry Christmas.
00:46:36Calvin?
00:46:37Yeah.
00:46:38Ah, what a nice surprise.
00:46:40There you are.
00:46:41Yeah, yeah.
00:46:42With Santa Claus.
00:46:43Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:46:44Come on, come on.
00:46:45Help me, help me.
00:46:46Merry Christmas.
00:46:47Thanks for shopping at my store.
00:46:49Merry Christmas!
00:46:50Thank you very much.
00:46:51Come on, help me, help me.
00:46:52Merry Christmas.
00:46:54Merry Christmas.
00:46:55Merry Christmas.
00:46:56Thanks for shopping at my store.
00:46:57Merry Christmas!
00:46:58Merry Christmas.
00:46:59Merry Christmas, young lady.
00:47:00There you go.
00:47:01And a partridge in a pear tree.
00:47:04On the sixth day of Christmas that your love gave to me,
00:47:08six geese a-laying, five cool greens.
00:47:14I completely took over.
00:47:16Handed out all the canes.
00:47:18I wanted to strangle them.
00:47:21Eric!
00:47:22Oh, he's so cute.
00:47:28You get a second chance.
00:47:31Four holly birds, three French hens,
00:47:35two little ducks, and a partridge in a pear tree.
00:47:39Well, at least he came.
00:47:41On the sixth day of Christmas that your love gave to me,
00:47:43eight maids a-milking, seven swans a-swimming,
00:47:47six geese a-laying, five cool greens.
00:47:49I'd be saving that for posterity.
00:47:52Real glad your mom could spare you for a few hours.
00:47:55I've got a surprise for you.
00:47:57What are we going to do?
00:47:59See the city, have ourselves a ball.
00:48:02Hello, Eric.
00:48:03I'm Isabelle.
00:48:04We're going to have such a good time.
00:48:09Huh?
00:48:10Huh?
00:48:14That was fun, buddy.
00:48:16Maybe we could spend some time together.
00:48:19You coming in, Dad?
00:48:20I can't.
00:48:21Isabelle's got a plane to catch.
00:48:23Merry Christmas, pal.
00:48:27Merry Christmas!
00:48:29Good night, Eric.
00:48:30Merry Christmas.
00:48:31Merry Christmas.
00:48:51Did you do it, Dad?
00:48:55Did you do it?
00:48:58Let's have a look.
00:49:02Whoa!
00:49:12Cute.
00:49:13Very cute.
00:49:15But I almost made it.
00:49:16It was very close to midnight.
00:49:18Oh, yeah?
00:49:19Actually, we gave you a little extra time to make up for the half day.
00:49:22No problem.
00:49:23Didn't make it to Christmas today.
00:49:24I'll just make it tomorrow.
00:49:30You got any brothers or sisters, Ang?
00:49:33We don't have siblings.
00:49:34Angels?
00:49:35Nurses.
00:49:36Oh.
00:49:37Well, a lot was expected of me, being the eldest.
00:49:41Then I watched Jesse get all the attention.
00:49:43Maybe he was nicer.
00:49:44My mother seemed to think so.
00:49:48Yeah.
00:49:49Your mom.
00:49:51I know that's painful to think about, huh?
00:49:53Not being there when she...
00:49:54I couldn't be there.
00:49:55Could I?
00:49:56I had to be in L.A.
00:49:57I had to deal with a regional management team in complete meltdown.
00:49:59Right, and business always comes first, right?
00:50:01Well, a lot of people depend on that business, including my mother.
00:50:05And who do you think paid for the private duty nurses and high ticket specialists?
00:50:10For all the good it did her.
00:50:14I wanted to be there.
00:50:16I know.
00:50:20It's hard to be there with my schedule.
00:50:28Hard to find the time.
00:50:41You've got to do something.
00:50:43He won't listen to me.
00:50:46If I were home today, this is what I would be doing with my family.
00:50:50Calvin?
00:50:51Hey!
00:50:53What's going on?
00:50:54We're preparing a feast, little brother.
00:50:56A Christmas party that your friends will talk about forever.
00:50:59Preparing a feast.
00:51:01You're redecorating our house.
00:51:03It's my Christmas present to you.
00:51:05Have you forgotten what our party is?
00:51:07Of course you have.
00:51:09You've stopped coming to our party ever since you fell in love with the almighty Buck Stops Here.
00:51:14Party's a party, Jesse.
00:51:15I'm just trying to make it as good as I possibly can.
00:51:17Our party is a gift from Sarah and me to our family and friends, Calvin.
00:51:21I'm just trying to help.
00:51:22No.
00:51:23You're trying to remind us that we can't possibly live up to the extraordinary standards of the great Calvin Carter.
00:51:28I just can't win with you, can I?
00:51:31I gave up my whole day for you.
00:51:33What do you want?
00:51:34I want you to get out of here and take Santa's elder with you.
00:51:40It's not fair!
00:51:42It's not fair!
00:51:44I mean, I have done everything.
00:51:47I have bought.
00:51:48I have given.
00:51:49I have spent time with my family.
00:51:51Nobody appreciates what I do for them.
00:51:52You know what?
00:51:53That's fine.
00:51:54That's fine, okay?
00:51:55Because from now on, it's just going to be about me, me, and me.
00:52:10All the valets, would you?
00:52:12Christmas presents, for me, from me.
00:52:26That was incredible.
00:52:28Worth the two months wait?
00:52:30Every second of it.
00:52:33Could I interest you in a little dessert?
00:52:37Yeah.
00:52:39What I really want isn't on the menu.
00:52:52Calvin, are you there?
00:52:54Come on, I'm dying out here.
00:52:56I'm trying to keep Miss Freya's entertained, but I'm not you.
00:52:59Please.
00:53:00Please.
00:53:07Wow.
00:53:09That petite maison should definitely put that on the dessert menu.
00:53:13It would be very, very tough to get a reservation there.
00:53:19I'm not complaining, but how come you're not working today?
00:53:23Well, it's Christmas Eve, and I thought I'd treat myself.
00:53:27Fulfill my every fantasy, indulge my every pleasure.
00:53:34So what am I, a fantasy or a pleasure?
00:53:37You're both, baby.
00:53:38A daily double.
00:53:41How romantic.
00:53:42And for this afternoon, I've booked our ultimate fantasy.
00:53:47What?
00:53:48You know what.
00:53:54No!
00:53:55No!
00:53:56Four o'clock.
00:53:58Oh, my God.
00:54:00I don't know. Are we ready?
00:54:01We'll find out.
00:54:10You do it just like you've been trained.
00:54:12You'll be all right.
00:54:13Okay.
00:54:14You guys ready to go?
00:54:15Okay.
00:54:26All right!
00:54:28Go!
00:54:29Go!
00:54:34Wow!
00:54:35I'm going to let you go now.
00:54:37You're going to be fine.
00:54:38What?
00:54:48Woo!
00:54:49Woo!
00:54:50Woo!
00:54:51Woo!
00:54:52Woo!
00:54:53Woo!
00:54:54Woo!
00:54:55Woo!
00:54:56Woo!
00:54:57Woo!
00:54:58Woo!
00:54:59Woo!
00:55:00Woo!
00:55:02Grab my hand!
00:55:06Come here!
00:55:07Come here!
00:55:08Come on! Come on! Come on! Come on!
00:55:10Okay!
00:55:13Okay!
00:55:19Pull!
00:55:21Ah!
00:55:24Pull!
00:55:27Ah!
00:55:30Pull the reserve!
00:55:33Ah!
00:55:35Oh!
00:55:38Ah!
00:55:42Ah!
00:55:46I thought we agreed. No more half days.
00:55:48It wasn't us, I promise you.
00:55:50The parachute malfunctioned on its own.
00:55:52You know what?
00:55:53That's it.
00:55:54That's it.
00:55:55I've had it.
00:55:56I've had it.
00:55:57This game is rigged.
00:55:58You said so yourself.
00:55:59I play by the rules,
00:56:00and when the people I work with don't,
00:56:02I walk.
00:56:03Come back into bed!
00:56:04Oh, please.
00:56:05Whatever I do, I'm not going to make it to Christmas,
00:56:07so why don't you just torture some other sucker, okay?
00:56:09Don't step out of the light.
00:56:11Don't step out of the light!
00:56:13Oh, gosh.
00:56:14Calvin!
00:56:15Calvin!
00:56:16Calvin, come back here!
00:56:19Calvin!
00:56:22Calvin!
00:56:24Calvin!
00:56:53Angie?
00:57:19Angie!
00:57:23Angie!
00:57:27Help me!
00:57:31You're not listening to me!
00:57:33I told you not to leave.
00:57:34I'm breaking a major rule by bringing you back here.
00:57:36Sorry.
00:57:37You're a pain in the ass, you know that?
00:57:38Well, maybe you should have just left me out there, then.
00:57:40Then you wouldn't make it to Christmas.
00:57:43Boy.
00:57:45You know, I've never lost a patient before.
00:57:47Here, you must be freezing.
00:57:53Shoot broke, huh?
00:57:56That means Rihanna could have been wearing it.
00:57:58Yeah, that's right.
00:58:06When I was falling,
00:58:09and I knew I was going to die...
00:58:12again,
00:58:14I was thinking that...
00:58:17I never told Rihanna how I felt about her.
00:58:19I never told Rihanna how I felt about her.
00:58:21Then it's good that you have a few more days.
00:58:23Only three.
00:58:24That's plenty of time.
00:58:29Those...
00:58:31other beds...
00:58:33how come they're empty?
00:58:35Oh, well, those patients figured it out.
00:58:37They made it to Christmas.
00:58:39I'm the only one who has it, huh?
00:58:41Hey, you're special.
00:58:44Hey, good luck tomorrow.
00:58:50Ah.
00:58:55Luck has nothing to do with it.
00:59:08So what's all this?
00:59:10Well, uh, I didn't have time to get you real roses.
00:59:13Uh, and, uh, well,
00:59:16I've been thinking long and hard about what to give you for Christmas.
00:59:20What, they stopped making lingerie?
00:59:23And, uh, I think I've...
00:59:26I finally realized what it is I want to give you.
00:59:31Rihanna.
00:59:36Will you marry me?
00:59:40You want to get married?
00:59:42With all my heart.
00:59:46But we never talked about getting married.
00:59:49Well, we are now.
00:59:52So where's the ring?
00:59:55Well, I didn't have time to get one of those either.
00:59:58Oh.
01:00:02But you've been thinking about it long and hard.
01:00:08I'm sorry, Calvin.
01:00:12I don't want to marry you.
01:00:14Why not?
01:00:16Because when I get married,
01:00:18it'll be to share a life with someone, to have a family.
01:00:22I can do that.
01:00:24Yeah, you already have, and that marriage failed.
01:00:27And... and I've seen how you are as a father.
01:00:34Uh, so, uh,
01:00:36if... if... if this thing
01:00:39that we are isn't leading to marriage,
01:00:42then what is it?
01:00:48That's a really good question.
01:00:53I better get dressed.
01:00:57Calvin, where are you?
01:00:59I ran out of small talk hours ago.
01:01:01Isabel Frias looks like she's ready to kill me,
01:01:03and I don't blame her.
01:01:05Call me.
01:01:11Hello, Calvin.
01:01:13You missed the concert.
01:01:15Call me.
01:01:20I'm sorry.
01:01:22Hello, Calvin. You missed the concert.
01:01:25Call me.
01:01:53Calvin, you were gonna jump!
01:01:55Oh, you push, I jump, what difference does it make?
01:01:58It's not your choice to make!
01:02:00Oh, I don't know how to have the best Christmas Eve ever.
01:02:03That's your problem, you know?
01:02:05You're always trying to control everything, but you can't.
01:02:07No one can.
01:02:09Oh, you know what? That's... I'm tired. I'm tired.
01:02:11I'm tired.
01:02:13I'm tired.
01:02:15I'm tired.
01:02:17I'm tired.
01:02:19I'm tired.
01:02:21I'm tired. I want to go to sleep.
01:02:23Fine.
01:02:35Good morning, Stacy.
01:02:37She's here. Her plane is early.
01:02:39Is Calvin in yet?
01:02:41He's not coming.
01:02:43What do you mean he's delayed?
01:02:45He's not coming at all.
01:02:47Well, what am I supposed to do with Isabel Frias?
01:02:50Mr. Carter emailed a detailed agenda.
01:02:53But this is broken up into 15-minute increments,
01:02:56and her plane doesn't leave until 9 to 9.
01:02:58I can't.
01:03:24Well, it's...
01:03:26Are you doing okay?
01:03:28Are you still at the shelter?
01:03:32How are you doing?
01:03:42What is it?
01:03:44Uh, turkey stew.
01:03:46Real turkey or turkey roll?
01:03:48Make a difference?
01:03:50Let it rip.
01:03:53How are you doing tonight, Henry?
01:04:01Do you mind if I sit here?
01:04:03No.
01:04:15Your first time here?
01:04:17Uh, yeah.
01:04:19I just wanted to help out a little bit.
01:04:21Thanks.
01:04:28There are a lot of homeless here.
01:04:31Some of these people aren't homeless.
01:04:34Some are what I call perpetual hard cases.
01:04:38What's that?
01:04:40Addiction, mental health problems,
01:04:43families down on their luck,
01:04:45and people who have made a lot of really bad choices.
01:04:51That's rough.
01:04:53Giving up your Christmas with family and friends
01:04:56to come down here,
01:04:58that's good karma.
01:05:00Karma, is that a Catholic concept?
01:05:03Small-c Catholic, it is.
01:05:14Take care.
01:05:21There you go, ma'am.
01:05:34Hey, so how'd it go?
01:05:36Where have you been all day?
01:05:38I volunteered at a soup kitchen.
01:05:41So, uh, anyway, did you stay on schedule?
01:05:43Oh, yeah, sure, sure, sure.
01:05:45We did everything, all the stores,
01:05:47even your elementary school.
01:05:49I'm sure she appreciated it.
01:05:50No, I'm sure she didn't.
01:05:52She wanted to be with a great man himself, not some lackey.
01:05:54Oh, he's not a lackey.
01:05:56And I wanted to be with my family.
01:05:58It's Christmas Eve, Calvin.
01:06:08All right.
01:06:20All right.
01:06:22Give me the finger.
01:06:24A soup kitchen?
01:06:26I want it to be useful.
01:06:28No one could accuse me of hogging the spotlight
01:06:30or having an ulterior motive.
01:06:32One day left, Calvin. You can do it.
01:06:34Oh, please.
01:06:36It's too late. I need 12 more days just to even get started.
01:06:39Uh, one may know how to conquer without being able to do it.
01:06:42The art of war. What a crock.
01:06:44Sit up.
01:06:45What?
01:06:46Sit up.
01:06:49Ow!
01:06:50Wake up, Calvin. What are you thinking?
01:06:52That there's not enough time to get it right,
01:06:54so suddenly failure is an option?
01:06:56Help me out here.
01:06:57Why did you have Drew spend the whole day
01:06:59working on the expansion of a business
01:07:00you're never gonna see again?
01:07:01Well, I told you, a lot of people depend on that business.
01:07:03So a lot of people will miss you if you don't make it to Christmas.
01:07:05Not me. My checkbook.
01:07:06Your checkbook?
01:07:08Calvin, come on!
01:07:1011 days we've been at this, and you still think that?
01:07:12You know, I'm the gruel around here
01:07:14for cracking hard cases, Calvin,
01:07:16but you may just be uncrackable.
01:07:18Uncrackable.
01:07:49Oh.
01:08:12Merry Christmas Eve, Santa.
01:08:15So are we still on for lunch?
01:08:17Absolutely.
01:08:31Morning, Mr. Carter.
01:08:32Morning, Barry.
01:08:34Uh, look, I was gonna give you this tomorrow,
01:08:36but it's in case I don't see you.
01:08:39Merry Christmas.
01:08:41Thanks.
01:08:47Oh, thank you.
01:08:54Uh, hey, Drew, uh, forget it.
01:08:56Just get out of here.
01:08:58Yeah, but I thought we were meeting with...
01:08:59No, it's Christmas Eve.
01:09:00You should be home with Tara and, um, um...
01:09:03Uh, Morgan and Nate.
01:09:04Right.
01:09:05Morgan and Nate.
01:09:06Right.
01:09:08Right.
01:09:09Hey, Drew.
01:09:13I don't...
01:09:14Failure is not an option stuff.
01:09:16You never really bought that, did you?
01:09:20No.
01:09:25Merry Christmas.
01:09:27Merry Christmas, Calvin.
01:09:44Good morning.
01:09:45Good morning.
01:09:46She's here. Her plane was early.
01:09:47Go home, Stacy.
01:09:49Christmas bonus.
01:09:52I already got a Christmas bonus.
01:09:58Oh.
01:10:00Oh, thank you.
01:10:03Calvin Carter.
01:10:04Isabel Frias.
01:10:06I know you've gone out of your way to come here,
01:10:08but today's not a good day.
01:10:10It's Christmas Eve.
01:10:11You should be with your family.
01:10:12There you go.
01:10:14What do you mean?
01:10:15Well, I rebooked your flight.
01:10:16You're leaving in an hour and a half.
01:10:17My window's waiting for you downstairs.
01:10:19But...
01:10:20It's okay. It's okay.
01:10:26You don't like the food?
01:10:28Uh, no. It's, it's, uh...
01:10:31It's fine. I'm just...
01:10:33I'm just not really hungry.
01:10:36What is it? What's the matter?
01:10:39We are.
01:10:43I mean, we're not really going anywhere, are we?
01:10:48Oh, my God.
01:10:50Are you dumping me?
01:10:51No, Rihanna.
01:10:52Rihanna.
01:10:53Baby.
01:10:57I, I adore you.
01:10:59I...
01:11:01I lust for you.
01:11:02I...
01:11:03You make me laugh.
01:11:05But we don't really have a future.
01:11:07Yes, we do.
01:11:08No, we don't.
01:11:10No, we don't.
01:11:11I'm just arm candy.
01:11:14Sooner rather than later,
01:11:15are you gonna want to have a family?
01:11:16You don't want to have me.
01:11:18You don't know that.
01:11:19But you do.
01:11:24Okay.
01:11:25Something's the matter.
01:11:26Something besides us.
01:11:27No, there's a million things that are the matter.
01:11:30I'm just trying to acknowledge
01:11:32the bigger things before I...
01:11:36Or before the carriage turns into a pumpkin
01:11:38and I'm a rat again.
01:11:44Yeah.
01:11:45I appreciate you being honest with me.
01:11:49It means a lot.
01:11:53Business meeting to get to?
01:11:55Sure.
01:11:56I mean,
01:11:57Business meeting to get to?
01:11:59Sure.
01:12:00No, it's a...
01:12:01It's a concert.
01:12:03Business things I'm good at.
01:12:05It's personal stuff.
01:12:12Merry Christmas.
01:12:14Hope Santa brings you everything you ever asked for.
01:12:17Observe it.
01:12:28Skating is so cool, Dad.
01:12:30This is like the best day ever.
01:12:32Great.
01:12:33Hey, Dad, tell me something.
01:12:35When you were singing up there,
01:12:36were you nervous at all?
01:12:38A little.
01:12:39Really?
01:12:40You didn't show it, boy.
01:12:42You know, people do that sometimes.
01:12:44They hide what they're really feeling.
01:12:46I mean, I do that.
01:12:48You do?
01:12:49Sure, I do.
01:12:50For instance, I...
01:12:52I don't know.
01:12:54You do?
01:12:55Sure, I do.
01:12:56For instance, I...
01:12:57I don't tell you often enough how much I love you.
01:13:00I know you love me, Dad.
01:13:02And how much I miss doing stuff with you.
01:13:05You're busy.
01:13:06You're an important guy, Dad.
01:13:08Not really.
01:13:09I act like one.
01:13:14It's...
01:13:15It's really important to spend time
01:13:17with people that you care about
01:13:19and to let them know that you care.
01:13:22And I want you to...
01:13:24I want you to promise to try and do that, okay?
01:13:27Sure.
01:13:28Yeah?
01:13:29All right, let's go.
01:13:42I'm gonna take your coat.
01:13:44Okay, Dad.
01:13:47Hey, how you doing?
01:13:49Hey, how are you?
01:13:53I don't need you, but look who's here.
01:13:57Hey.
01:13:58Oh.
01:13:59Oh.
01:14:00You got quite a collection.
01:14:01I have another.
01:14:08Hey, Uncle Calvin.
01:14:10Hey.
01:14:11How are you?
01:14:12Good.
01:14:13Mom and Dad.
01:14:14Uh, okay.
01:14:15All right, let's go.
01:14:16Hey, cheer it up.
01:14:17Up, up, up, up, up, up, up.
01:14:21Nice.
01:14:22Yeah.
01:14:23Hey, hey, hey.
01:14:24Calvin?
01:14:25Yeah, here, let me help you with one of those.
01:14:27Come on.
01:14:28Hey, guys.
01:14:33Well, this is a nice surprise.
01:14:35You haven't been to one of our parties in years.
01:14:37Yeah, my loss.
01:14:44You know, I never thank you for taking care of Dad.
01:14:47Hey, you paid for it.
01:14:49Well, it's easy to run a check.
01:14:53You do the hard part.
01:14:55Not really.
01:14:57I like having him around.
01:14:59That's because you're a good guy.
01:15:01Really.
01:15:03I envy you.
01:15:05What part of me do you envy?
01:15:07My high school teacher's salary or my bad eyes?
01:15:11Or my utter inability to carry a tune?
01:15:14All of it.
01:15:15All of it.
01:15:18Well, I mean, we are who we are, Cal.
01:15:21I guess I'm just pretty good at being me.
01:15:24Yeah, you are.
01:15:27I guess that's what I envy the most.
01:15:30You need an eggnog.
01:15:32You're not feeling, you're sentimental enough.
01:15:34Give me that eggnog.
01:15:36Make it a dump.
01:15:44Oh.
01:15:47Mom's lemon snow bars.
01:15:50Oh, my God.
01:15:52Oh, can I?
01:15:54Please do.
01:15:55Okay.
01:15:56Oh, my God.
01:16:00Hey, you know, Eric had a really good time today.
01:16:03You should do it more often.
01:16:07I wish I could.
01:16:10Wish I had.
01:16:12You just have to make it a priority.
01:16:17Yeah, finally figured that one out, didn't I?
01:16:21Well, then why don't you do it?
01:16:23Calvin, he's your son.
01:16:25He loves you.
01:16:26He needs you.
01:16:30It's a little late for that, don't you think?
01:16:35What do you mean it's a little late?
01:16:38Hey, what is it?
01:16:39Dad, I made you a gift for Christmas.
01:16:46Oh.
01:16:58Yeah.
01:17:05Um...
01:17:09Would you excuse me?
01:17:12Um...
01:17:17Hey, you know what?
01:17:19I think I need some help putting these snow bars on the plate.
01:17:23Can you give me a hand?
01:17:35I'm losing my mind, you know.
01:17:37I forget things, lots of things.
01:17:40Yeah, me too.
01:17:47I've run out of time, Dad.
01:17:51I had all the time I needed.
01:17:53I had all the time in the world, and now I've wasted it.
01:17:59We all feel that way sometimes.
01:18:02Yeah, but like Mom.
01:18:04I mean, I should have been there.
01:18:06It wouldn't have made any difference.
01:18:09She was proud of you.
01:18:12She understood.
01:18:16Well, I was sore at you for not coming,
01:18:19but none of us is perfect.
01:18:23I mean, you've got your faults,
01:18:25but you're a good guy at heart.
01:18:32You know how I know?
01:18:35Your mother told me so,
01:18:37and she was never wrong.
01:18:39Come on.
01:18:42Yeah, well, okay.
01:18:45Let's go in. It's getting cold, okay?
01:18:48Okay.
01:18:55Calvin?
01:18:57I'm sorry.
01:18:59Oh, no.
01:19:01Calvin? Calvin?
01:19:03Oh!
01:19:05Oh! Oh! Hey! Hey!
01:19:07Help! Somebody! Help! Help! Help!
01:19:10Oh! Oh!
01:19:12Oh!
01:19:14Hey! Hey! Hey!
01:19:17Hey.
01:19:48Good job. Merry Christmas.
01:19:50Yeah.
01:19:52So what happened this time? Heart attack?
01:19:54Heart burn. Too much eggnog.
01:19:56Should lay off the stuff.
01:19:58Wait a minute.
01:20:00What did you just say?
01:20:02I said lay off the eggnog.
01:20:04No, no, no, no.
01:20:06Did you say Merry Christmas?
01:20:09Yeah.
01:20:11Is it Christmas?
01:20:17Did I make it to Christmas?
01:20:19Yeah. We all made it to Christmas.
01:20:21I made it to Christmas?
01:20:23Oh!
01:20:25Hey. Hey.
01:20:27I made it.
01:20:33Merry Christmas.
01:20:37Calvin?
01:20:39Calvin.
01:20:41You scared the hell out of me.
01:20:48Hiya.
01:20:50Hello.
01:20:52Hey.
01:20:54Merry Christmas, brother.
01:20:59Let's get you out of here.
01:21:01Okay.
01:21:07Would you just give me a minute?
01:21:18Hey.
01:21:30Angie?
01:21:32Calvin!
01:21:34Hey.
01:21:38I made it.
01:21:40Yeah, you did.
01:21:42Hey.
01:21:44I'll let you in on a little secret.
01:21:46This Eve Everything, it's not a destination.
01:21:49It's a journey.
01:21:51God is in the details, Calvin.
01:22:01I think I spent enough time in hospitals.
01:22:04My family's waiting for me.
01:22:06So get out of here.
01:22:08Okay.
01:22:12Merry Christmas.
01:22:17Okay.
01:22:19Oh!
01:22:21Yay!

01:22:41Hey.
01:22:43Hey.
01:22:46You didn't answer your phone.
01:22:48What if it was important?
01:22:50More important than this?
01:22:54Mr. Carter, Isabel Frias.
01:22:57I was very cross with you yesterday when you sent me packing.
01:23:00But because you did, I'm here with my family,
01:23:03rested and enjoying a wonderful Christmas.
01:23:05So thank you for reminding me of what's truly important.
01:23:08And off the record, welcome to Latin America.
