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 grandmother on the way. 50? God, you're that damn old.
00:00:17You said you're 52 on the dating app and you're definitely 60. Boys will be boys,
00:00:22even in their 60s. Start with London, then Paris, and then Rome.
00:00:29All the way to Beijing. The three of us. Three of us? You, me, and my wife, of course. Your wife.
00:00:36This is a date. My, oh my. You are absolutely stunning. What do you say we get together and
00:00:43have a baby before we get too old, shall we? God, I'd like to see you try. Good, because I always like to record.
00:00:53Excuse me, boss. It's time for your date. Should I leave this here, or...? Where is this from?
00:00:58Well, department store. Cheap as it gets. And the car?
00:01:01Well, it's used. Excellent.
00:01:04Is there anything else you need?
00:01:05Just keep this quiet. Yes, boss. No one will ever find out that the chairman of Pete Klein is
00:01:11going as a date as an ordinary urban driver.
00:01:18Hi, I'm Jerry.
00:01:19What'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. 30% will cover daily expenses. 30% will go to the bank to cover my mortgage.
00:01:38Oh, how generous. You left me 40%.
00:01:41No, that 40% is going straight to my account.
00:01:47I'm tired of an hour. Post that if you want overnight.
00:01:50Uh, I'm sorry. I'm actually looking for someone to marry.
00:01:53Half a million a month. Any better software?
00:01:56I think it's...
00:02:03Hi. I'm Jerry Smith.
00:02:20Chris. Chris Parker.
00:02:21Let's get married.
00:02:24That's your pitch?
00:02:26I'm a very straightforward man.
00:02:27Lucky you.
00:02:30That is exactly my time.
00:02:46Oh, no, no, no. I've got it.
00:02:51Mom, what are you doing here?
00:02:54It's always so good to see you two.
00:02:58How's work?
00:02:59Same boss. Still great.
00:03:01Wish I had more time off, though.
00:03:04And have you decided on a name for the baby?
00:03:07Yeah, actually...
00:03:09Um...
00:03:10It's Emma.
00:03:15You can't name her that.
00:03:18Emma's your sister's name.
00:03:19That's exactly why I like it.
00:03:21I know she's not around anymore,
00:03:24but I figured that she would appreciate
00:03:27that I named our baby daughter after her.
00:03:29No.
00:03:30That was your grandma's gift for her and her only.
00:03:34I mean, your father and sister have been gone for decades.
00:03:37Let's just let them stay in our memory
00:03:39and not try to replace...
00:03:41Mom!
00:03:42This is my house.
00:03:44I can't have you come in here
00:03:46and try to disrespect that.
00:03:48Sure.
00:03:49You'll get your respect
00:03:51when your daughter is old enough to talk, son.
00:03:54I can't imagine
00:03:55how Dad didn't get driven crazy by you.
00:04:00Don't you ever talk about me and your father like that.
00:04:03I'm a grown man.
00:04:06I have a family now.
00:04:08You can't just drop by and tell me what to do.
00:04:10You clearly need the help.
00:04:12Not from an overbearing,
00:04:14old,
00:04:15sad,
00:04:16crazy woman like you.
00:04:19Tom!
00:04:20That's too much.
00:04:21I'm sorry, Mom.
00:04:24I didn't mean to.
00:04:27So that's
00:04:28what you think of me, Chris?
00:04:30It's not like that.
00:04:32Take care of yourself, sweetheart.
00:04:34Mom,
00:04:35Mom, where are you going?
00:04:36Anywhere but here.
00:04:38It's raining outside.
00:04:39Please, just...
00:04:40Oh, God damn it.
00:04:54You gotta be kidding me.
00:04:58I'm in a free zone here.
00:05:05Ah!
00:05:10What do you want?
00:05:18Chris?
00:05:19It's me.
00:05:20What's wrong?
00:05:22Did someone upset you?
00:05:23Jerry!
00:05:24No, no, it's nothing.
00:05:26It doesn't sound like nothing.
00:05:28What is better?
00:05:29Are you outside?
00:05:31My shitty car broke down
00:05:32in the middle of the woods.
00:05:34What?
00:05:35In this weather?
00:05:36In the middle of December?
00:05:37I'm going to pick you up.
00:05:38No, no, no.
00:05:39It's fine.
00:05:39There's no reason
00:05:40for you to freeze
00:05:41out here, too.
00:05:42Where are you?
00:05:43Somewhere off.
00:05:44Lincoln Road.
00:05:45I think.
00:05:46I'll be right there.
00:05:47Don't move.
00:05:54Go to Lincoln Road, now.
00:05:55Yeah, but
00:05:56how are you going
00:05:57to explain your identity?
00:05:58You know,
00:05:59what about me?
00:06:00An Uber driver's driver?
00:06:02Get out.
00:06:03I'll drive.
00:06:09Hey, baby.
00:06:17You need a ride?
00:06:22Oh, thank God.
00:06:25Hold on.
00:06:25Let me get the door for you.
00:06:26Let me get the door for you.
00:06:56Where to, m'lady?
00:07:02Driver makes the call.
00:07:04But somewhere warm.
00:07:07I'm frozen.
00:07:08My cabin is just down the road.
00:07:13We could stay there tonight.
00:07:15Yeah?
00:07:16Have a little honeymoon?
00:07:18Your wish
00:07:19is my command.
00:07:21All we need to do
00:07:22is take a warm shower,
00:07:24drink a shot of whiskey,
00:07:25and pray for a good night's sleep.
00:07:28Well,
00:07:29that's not all we need to do.
00:07:32Chris,
00:07:34you didn't have to.
00:07:36Oh,
00:07:36I could help.
00:07:38I'm almost done.
00:07:39Have a seat.
00:07:45Chris you didn't have to oh I could help. I'm almost done. Have a seat. I could have a seat.
00:08:08Okay. Okay. Okay.
00:08:38What are you looking at? Have a seat. You're incredible.
00:08:58Mmm. This is the best breakfast I've had in years. Aww. I'm flattered.
00:09:05Now you mentioned us going to the auction today. Is that still happening?
00:09:08Yes. And actually we should start getting ready soon. Do I look okay?
00:09:16Like a dream. But I do have a small present for you.
00:09:26Jerry. This is beautiful. Aww. You're so sweet.
00:09:38Oh no honey. Wow. Do you think I'm overdressed? Not at all. This is who you are. Don't be shy.
00:09:50Wow wow wow. Look at this old mummy. Somebody bought her new bandages. Wow wow wow. Look at this old mummy. Somebody bought her new bandages.
00:10:08It lost. Had. Looks like someone forgot her dentures today. Don't be jealous darling. They're new and permanent. Jealous? Don't make me laugh. You disgusting old bitch.
00:10:30What is this your new boy toy? Old and sick. Great taste. Come on honey.
00:10:52What's her problem? Mia? She's been like that since high school. Always trying to be superior to everyone. But always falling short.
00:11:04Ladies and gentlemen, thank you so much for joining us. Welcome to this year's annual Christmas charity auction.
00:11:16Let's get started with our first precious item. The legendary elephant stock from Sir Edmund's collection.

00:12:14Twenty. Twenty. Twenty thousand from the lovely lady in the corner. Twenty thousand going once.
00:12:20What are you waiting for? Don't tell me you're waiting for your ex-husband to save you again.
00:12:25Oh, I'm sorry. I forgot. He is dead.
00:12:30Fine.
00:12:35It's over. Mia is going to be the next captain.
00:12:39Captain.
00:12:58Twenty thousand going twice.
00:13:00Thirty thousand.
00:13:01Thirty thousand.
00:13:05Thirty thousand.
00:13:06From the gentleman in the center of the room.
00:13:08This is none of your business.
00:13:10It is.
00:13:11Thirty thousand.
00:13:12She is not alone.
00:13:13Oh, gross.

00:13:20Seventy thousand dollars.
00:13:21Are you serious?
00:13:22You can't just say any random number.
00:13:24You actually have to be able to pay for it.
00:13:26I can do this all day.
00:13:28Ring one.
00:13:30Fair warning.
00:13:31Last call.
00:13:37Seventy thousand dollars.
00:13:39Sold.
00:13:40Seventy thousand dollars.
00:13:41From the open clock.
00:13:42To the lovely couple in the center of the room.
00:13:44Thank you very much.
00:13:45Everybody, please.
00:13:46A round of applause for the lovely couple.
00:13:49It means so much to me.
00:13:50It's so important.
00:13:51Oh, I'll pay you back later.
00:13:53It's my treat.
00:13:54I can't have my wife going home empty-handed.
00:13:56I'm flattered.
00:13:57This is different.
00:13:58What's the matter?
00:13:59Let's go.
00:14:00Take a closer look.
00:14:01Ma'am.
00:14:02I needed to deliver this to you in person.
00:14:03It is the most expensive item I've ever sold.
00:14:05You're very lucky.
00:14:06Merry Christmas.
00:14:07Thank you, sir.
00:14:08Thank you, sir.
00:14:09Is it the one you were looking for?
00:14:13Baby?
00:14:14You all right?
00:14:15Breathe.
00:14:16I've ever sold.
00:14:18You're very lucky.
00:14:21Merry Christmas.
00:14:22Thank you, sir.
00:14:27Is it the one you were looking for?
00:14:29Maybe.
00:14:31Are you all right?
00:14:35Breathe.
00:14:37Slowly.
00:14:42What happened?
00:14:43Is something wrong with it?
00:14:45Welcome back.
00:14:47This belonged to you?
00:14:49My late husband bought this for me many years ago.
00:14:53It's my most precious belonging.
00:14:57I thought I'd never see it again.
00:14:59Oh.
00:15:01I'm so sorry.
00:15:03Give me one minute.
00:15:05Yeah.
00:15:09Okay.
00:15:15Oh, Tom.
00:15:17Look, look, look.
00:15:18The album stock that your dad bought me 20 years ago.
00:15:21I thought I lost it.
00:15:22I got a call from my friend at the auction.
00:15:24$70,000 for this?
00:15:26Are you losing your mind?
00:15:28No, Tom.
00:15:31Luke.
00:15:32You promised me that you would never touch climbing gear again.
00:15:35Tom, this is different.
00:15:36I don't fucking care.
00:15:37Please don't say that.
00:15:38They're dead.
00:15:39Dad and Emma are fucking dead.
00:15:44Maybe if you wouldn't have fucking supported their stupid hobby, they'd still be around.
00:15:51It was an accident.
00:15:52You can't blame it all on me.
00:15:54Is that not enough?
00:15:55What?
00:15:56Are you going to take a new family up there to that death hike?
00:15:59Or are you going to wait until my daughter's born and then do the same to her?
00:16:03It was never my intention.
00:16:04Please don't say that.
00:16:08Look at me.
00:16:09You are never welcome in my home again.
00:16:12And if you want to go die, go die alone.
00:16:16No, Tom.
00:16:17Tom, wait!
00:16:26Chris!
00:16:27Chris!
00:16:30Chris!
00:16:32Chris!
00:16:34Chris!
00:16:36Chris!
00:16:37Chris, are you okay?
00:16:38What happened?
00:16:41It's fine.
00:16:42Just family quarrel.
00:16:45If this keeps happening, I'm going to need to have a little talk with your family.
00:16:49Let me see that.
00:16:50Here.
00:16:51Come here.
00:16:52It stings.
00:16:55How old's your daughter?
00:16:5722.
00:17:01Ever have any difficulties with her?
00:17:06I don't even know where to start.
00:17:12I'm so glad I have you.
00:17:14Me too.
00:17:17What do you say we forget about those damn kids?
00:17:21And go have a drink.
00:17:23How about that?
00:17:25Yeah.
00:17:26Okay.
00:17:27I know a place.
00:17:29But you gotta have a good back.
00:17:40That is incredible!
00:17:42I don't know.
00:17:43I don't know.
00:17:48Everything all right?
00:17:50Yeah.
00:17:51It just feels like this isn't the first time I've been bowling.
00:17:56Am I bowling for?
00:17:59I wouldn't know.
00:18:00I don't know.
00:18:01Sometimes it's hard to recall memories.
00:18:05Early ones especially.
00:18:08They all just kind of fall apart.
00:18:11Have you gotten that checked out?
00:18:13Yeah.
00:18:14The doctor says I'm fine.
00:18:15It's just...
00:18:17I guess the old green matter is just seeing what it used to be.
00:18:19I don't know what it used to be.
00:18:29Yeah!
00:18:31Wow!
00:18:33Chris, did you find yourself a pro?
00:18:35Great question!
00:18:37Jerry, this is my buddy Antoine.
00:18:38He owns this place.
00:18:40Antoine, this is Jerry.
00:18:42My husband.
00:18:43Your husband?
00:18:44Wow, that's interesting.
00:18:45I beg your pardon?
00:18:49I don't mean to be rude, but I haven't heard Chris say the word husband in like...
00:18:54What?
00:18:55Two decades?
00:18:57Antoine!
00:18:58He was also in my high school gang.
00:19:00And if you can believe it, his mouth was even bigger back then.
00:19:04Well, welcome to my place.
00:19:06And there's only one rule here.
00:19:07Chris makes all the rules.
00:19:09Shut up, Antoine.
00:19:11You only say that when you're in trouble.
00:19:13And those two drinks on the house?
00:19:14Something must be really wrong.
00:19:16Well...
00:19:18Did you guys ever hear this real estate conglomerate called G5?
00:19:22They want to buy this place.
00:19:24So?
00:19:25Take the money.
00:19:26Go to Florida.
00:19:27Meet some babes.
00:19:28We get a new bowling alley.
00:19:30Win-win.
00:19:31I thought about it.
00:19:33But they're...
00:19:34only offering...
00:19:35half the going rate.
00:19:36Oh.
00:19:37Hell with them then.
00:19:38Sorry Antoine, you're stuck with us.
00:19:40Yeah, but unless they...
00:19:42do something to force me...
00:19:45Who's the boss?
00:19:49Who's the boss?
00:19:56Who's the boss?
00:19:58That would be me.
00:20:00Whoa.
00:20:01Can I help you?
00:20:02I'm Griffin.
00:20:03Boss of the Griffins.
00:20:05Open your register.
00:20:06We take your money.
00:20:08That's not gonna happen, man.
00:20:10Do or die, fat ass.
00:20:12Put that thing down.
00:20:13Shut your mouth, Grandma.
00:20:14Mind your shit or I'll blow them away.
00:20:17Robbery is one thing.
00:20:19Murder...
00:20:20You can't come back from that.
00:20:21We talking business, old bitch.
00:20:23And have Jesus Christ in this fucking neighborhood.
00:20:26When did Jesus pack a .45?
00:20:32I'll shoot you piece of shit.
00:20:33Nobody tells me what to do.
00:20:34Young man.
00:20:35Don't talk to me like a fucking teenager.
00:20:37This isn't the first time somebody's tried to rob this guy.
00:20:41Look, he may look soft, but he's not a coward.
00:20:44No means no.
00:20:45Shut the fuck up!
00:20:52Wait.
00:20:53Let's talk business, okay?
00:20:54Bullying an old man?
00:20:56That's not how a leader acts, is it?
00:20:59What are you talking about?
00:21:00Move on.
00:21:02Take your business elsewhere.
00:21:03Bullshit!
00:21:04What the fuck are you talking about?
00:21:05Griffin!
00:21:06The world doesn't work the way you think it does.
00:21:09It's much more complicated.
00:21:13I know Vlad.
00:21:14Vladimir Markov?
00:21:16You know who he is?
00:21:17I doubt you know who he is.
00:21:19He runs the other side of town.
00:21:21Like I said, the world's a complicated place.
00:21:24Now what would happen if Vladimir find out you're messing with some of his friends?
00:21:30How would that turn out for you?
00:21:37Don't worry.
00:21:38I got a better idea.
00:21:40One that doesn't end with you at the bottom of a river.
00:21:42What is it?
00:21:43The block between Mulberry Street and Lincoln has a ton of trust fund babies.
00:21:49Right?
00:21:50Deep pockets and lots of addictions.
00:21:53You know what to do.
00:21:54Thank you, sir.
00:21:56May we have your name?
00:21:57Fuck off.
00:21:59Now!
00:22:00I think that'll keep busy for a while.
00:22:01So that's your secret?
00:22:02You're one of them?
00:22:03One of those bastards?
00:22:04No.
00:22:05Well, you just told them to go sell drugs.
00:22:06Are you crazy?
00:22:07Hang on.
00:22:08Wait, wait, wait.
00:22:09Don't be such a judgment so quickly.
00:22:10Do you know who lives on that block?
00:22:11Devin Jones and Alec Shaw.
00:22:12The mayor and the chief of police.
00:22:13Two of the most conservative guys in town.
00:22:14Oh, they'll just love this dude slinging drugs outside his window.
00:22:18Wait, you just did that?
00:22:19Jesus Christ.
00:22:20You really are a bad boy.
00:22:21Oh, my God.
00:22:22Oh, my God.
00:22:23Oh, my God.
00:22:24Oh, my God.
00:22:25Oh, my God.
00:22:26Oh, my God.
00:22:27Oh, my God.
00:22:28Oh, my God.
00:22:29Oh, my God.
00:22:30Two of the most conservative guys in town.
00:22:32Oh, they'll just love this dude slinging drugs outside his window.
00:22:35Wait.
00:22:36You just did that?
00:22:37Jesus Christ.
00:22:39You really are a bad boy.
00:22:41And Officer Alec happens to be one of my old friends.
00:22:44So.
00:22:45So, you better tell them these crazies are heading towards their neighborhood.
00:22:49Chris, I like this guy.
00:22:58Where'd you find him?
00:22:59At a random coffee shop.
00:23:01It's a long story.
00:23:02I bet it's a good one.
00:23:03With me?
00:23:04Always.
00:23:05You know, I'm just, I'm just happy you found another good man.
00:23:10You know, um, it kind of reminds me of Jerry, your late husband.
00:23:18Okay.
00:23:19All right.
00:23:20He doesn't look anything like him.
00:23:21No, not his looks.
00:23:22You know, his vibe.
00:23:23How he carries himself.
00:23:24What if Jerry never really died in that accident?
00:23:41What if Jerry never really died in that accident?
00:23:46No.
00:23:47Jerry.
00:23:48Jerry is dead.
00:23:49My bad.
00:23:50If he was alive, he would have come looking for me.
00:23:53Absolutely.
00:23:54Hey.
00:23:55You okay?
00:23:56Fine.
00:23:57You look different.
00:23:58I do.
00:23:59It must be all the inside.
00:24:00He would have come looking for me.
00:24:02Absolutely.
00:24:08Hey.
00:24:10You okay?
00:24:14I'm fine.
00:24:24You... you look different.
00:24:26I do?
00:24:28It must be all the excitement.
00:24:30Well, I am planning to have a Christmas dinner at my place.
00:24:36I want you to come meet all my family. Would you come?
00:24:39Of course.
00:24:41It would be my honor.
00:24:56Mom.
00:24:58Please, come in. Please.
00:25:02Tom, I just want to quickly say...
00:25:06Mom, I'm so sorry about the other night.
00:25:08It's just, Tom's been working on a hard case, and we have a daughter on the way, and it's just been a lot of pressure.
00:25:16I'm really sorry what I said.
00:25:18It's okay.
00:25:20I made a lot of mistakes.
00:25:22And some of them...
00:25:24Some of them I can't fix.
00:25:26But...
00:25:28I didn't come here to talk about the past.
00:25:32I came to tell you...
00:25:34I'm... I'm married.
00:25:36You're married?
00:25:37You're married?
00:25:38You're married?
00:25:39That's wonderful, Mom.
00:25:40He's the sweetest man.
00:25:41I know you're gonna love him.
00:25:42And I want you to meet him at Christmas dinner.
00:25:44We would love that.
00:25:45Dad would be so happy.
00:25:47I mean, he was always getting out of trouble, and I'm sure he's out there looking down with a smile, thinking someone has your back.
00:25:55Yeah.
00:25:56Yeah.
00:25:57Of course.
00:25:58What is it?
00:25:59Something wrong?
00:26:00No, it's just...
00:26:01Tom, after all these years, if you ever saw your father again, do you think you'd recognize him?
00:26:10Yeah, of course I would.
00:26:14I mean, he's in that picture right there behind you.
00:26:18I mean, I look at him every day.
00:26:20I hope so.
00:26:23So...
00:26:25Anyway, it's getting late, and I have to go.
00:26:28But I will see you guys at Christmas dinner?
00:26:30Yeah, of course.
00:26:31Yeah.
00:26:35Looking forward to it.
00:26:36Yeah, me too.
00:26:44Wine for the lady?
00:26:46But this place is cute.
00:26:48Is it new?
00:26:49It's just opened.
00:26:50My daughter recommended.
00:26:53Well, she has great taste.
00:26:56You must have raised her well.
00:26:58For the last 20 years, it's been her and I against the world.
00:27:02She's my angel.
00:27:04Can I tell you something?
00:27:06Of course.
00:27:07Sometimes I wish I had a girl, instead of a boy.
00:27:10Boys don't think.
00:27:12It's not with their brains.
00:27:14Come on, John.
00:27:15Finish it.
00:27:16Speak of the devil.
00:27:17Emma?
00:27:18Dad?
00:27:19Emma?
00:27:20John?
00:27:21I told you.
00:27:22I told you.
00:27:23Stay away from this alcoholic.
00:27:24Can you just leave us alone?
00:27:26Okay?
00:27:27Because my life and what I do with it is none of your business.
00:27:31You're free to date whoever you want.
00:27:32But not him.
00:27:33Remember what happened last time?
00:27:34John nearly burned our house down.
00:27:35That's my life and my business.
00:27:36Not to mention that he nearly got you killed.
00:27:37It's not my life.
00:27:38I'm just kidding.
00:27:39John.
00:27:40Not to mention that.
00:27:41I did not.
00:27:42You're free to date whoever you want.
00:27:43I'm just kidding.
00:27:44I'm just kidding.
00:27:45All right.
00:27:46You're my friends.
00:27:47I'm just kidding.
00:27:48What's your name?
00:27:49How many years ago?
00:27:50I'm just kidding.
00:27:51I'm just kidding.
00:27:52Why?
00:27:53You're kidding.
00:27:54Yes, it's a good...
00:27:56It's a good idea.
00:27:57You're a bad idea.
00:27:58My wife, I'm a little sister.
00:28:00Last time, John nearly burned our house down.
00:28:03That's my life and my business.
00:28:04Not to mention that he nearly got you killed.
00:28:06You know, where do you get off?
00:28:08Okay, because maybe if you knew the first thing about love,
00:28:14Mom wouldn't have ditched us 20 years ago.
00:28:19You don't know what you're talking about.
00:28:21I know what I'm talking about?
00:28:23Huh.
00:28:24If Mom didn't ditch us,
00:28:25then why is the only thing she left this old photo?
00:28:29Hmm?
00:28:30Do you teach her this shit?
00:28:36Get out!
00:28:37I don't ever want to fucking see you again!
00:28:44If he leaves,
00:28:46then I'm going with him!
00:28:49Hold on, honey.
00:28:50Let's talk.
00:28:54And who the hell are you?
00:28:57Uh, boys.
00:28:58Give us some space.
00:28:59You didn't mean to do that, did you?
00:29:10Of course not!
00:29:12But how can I...
00:29:13You know, he doesn't trust me!
00:29:16He's strong.
00:29:18What's that last time your father mentioned?
00:29:20So my dad invited John over for Thanksgiving dinner.
00:29:29Right.
00:29:29And John's a shy boy.
00:29:31He didn't really know what to do.
00:29:34So his friends started giving him some advice.
00:29:38And that's when everything went wrong.
00:29:42Tell me everything.
00:29:45Well, John doesn't drink much.
00:29:53His friends suggested that maybe a little liquor may help him loosen up.
00:29:58But key word, a little.
00:30:00John got so drunk and he drove me home.
00:30:07And he crashed the car straight into my dad's car.
00:30:11Oh dear, I can only imagine how Jerry reacted to that.
00:30:15Well, whatever you're imagining, it's way, way worse.
00:30:21I mean, my dad's actually a really, like, respectful man, you know?
00:30:26I mean, he didn't even say anything about the car or the garden.
00:30:30He just, he even invited John to come in and sober up.
00:30:34But John was, like, wasted.
00:30:39I mean, like, blind, drunk.
00:30:41So he stumbles in and knocks over a candle and sets the curtains on fire.
00:30:49Oh dear, that is so...
00:30:50Yeah, it's a nightmare is what it is.
00:30:54But, you know, like, John's not like that.
00:30:57You know, John is gentle and smart and caring and...
00:31:03Yeah, but he's not a drunk, okay?
00:31:04It was just one mistake, one time, and my dad won't let it go.
00:31:08Gotcha, girl.
00:31:09It was just a misunderstanding.
00:31:11Thanks.
00:31:13I still don't understand, you know.
00:31:15Who are you?
00:31:16How do you know my dad?
00:31:21Baby, you look a bit drunk.
00:31:23Wanna ride home?
00:31:24Oh, uh, go away.
00:31:26This is none of your business.
00:31:29Who the fuck are you, Granny?
00:31:30Go home and fuck yourself.
00:31:32Don't make me repeat myself.
00:31:34Oh my god, are you all right?
00:31:37You're coming with me, huh?
00:31:38No.
00:31:41I'm sorry, ma'am.
00:31:43I should have jumped in sooner.
00:31:45I like you, kid.
00:31:46Get her home safe.
00:31:48I'll take care of her old man.
00:31:49Thank you very much.
00:31:50Come on, can you hear me?
00:31:51You ready to go home?
00:31:52Yeah.
00:31:53Let's go.
00:31:54Oh, Jerry and I are hosting a Christmas dinner.
00:31:57I would love for you to come.
00:31:58Do not be late.
00:32:02Oh, what a cute boy.
00:32:07Now, where is my husband?
00:32:10Hey.
00:32:18There's the old bitch.
00:32:24Hey.
00:32:27There's the old bitch.
00:32:28Oh, you've never learned.
00:32:29Go home, man.
00:32:30Your boy toy beat me at the bar, and now you're going to pay.
00:32:34Put that thing down.
00:32:35Fuck you, bitch.
00:32:36Give me your money.
00:32:37Take off your coat.
00:32:38Where did you get that thing?
00:32:47I keep it in my trunk.
00:32:48You know, to fix the car.
00:32:49I almost forgot you're a driver.
00:32:52Oh.
00:32:53What a hunk.
00:32:58All right, let's get out of here.
00:33:00Come on.
00:33:01Come on.
00:33:08You really know how to get yourself into trouble, don't you?
00:33:15Maybe I should start carrying a gun in my trunk.
00:33:17Oh, shut up.
00:33:21Are John and Emma going to be okay?
00:33:24Hmm.
00:33:26John said you agreed to let Emma take Emma home.
00:33:29He's really not a bad kid.
00:33:31I think you should give him a second chance.
00:33:32You know, he almost got Emma killed.
00:33:34He was like a monster.
00:33:35Yeah, I think that's just an excuse.
00:33:39You would have a problem with John no matter what.
00:33:41He could be a doctor, a lawyer, a senator.
00:33:44You'd still hate him.
00:33:46Because what you really can't stand is somebody taking your daughter away.
00:33:50No, you're probably right.
00:33:52Oh, probably.
00:33:52You are.
00:33:58If John deserves my daughter, then I'll dance at their wedding.
00:34:05Can you still dance, old man?
00:34:09Let me show you.
00:34:10Paul, cancel all my plans for Christmas.
00:34:30All of your appointments.
00:34:32That's right.
00:34:33Boss, you're invited to the White House for dinner on Christmas.
00:34:36Something more important's come up.
00:34:38Tell me, what's more important than the president?
00:34:44Tom, you're early.
00:34:46I mean, today's meeting's too important to be late to.
00:34:48But I am curious, what's more important than the president?
00:34:52My wife and I are hosting a Christmas party.
00:34:54You should come.
00:34:55Oh, thanks, Mr. Smith.
00:34:56But my mother would be furious if I missed her Christmas party.
00:35:01That's all right.
00:35:02Say hi to your mother for me, okay?
00:35:04And tell her, I wish I had a son like you.
00:35:07Really?
00:35:10I wish the melons were ripe.
00:35:12That would be nice for the table.
00:35:14Oh, this one's ready.
00:35:16Think.
00:35:16Yeah.
00:35:27Oh, this one's ready.
00:35:29Think.
00:35:29Yeah.
00:35:29Do you think we have enough for Christmas now?
00:35:33Yeah.
00:35:34Thank you so much for coming with me, sweetheart.
00:35:35It's the least I could do after the other day.
00:35:37Tom really went overboard.
00:35:40If I let every silly thing that boy said bother me, I would have been dead a hundred years ago.
00:35:45Let's see what else.
00:35:46Fill the cap now.
00:35:53Do it.
00:35:54Everybody down.
00:35:55I want to see your hands.
00:35:58What should we do?
00:36:00The title transfer from party A shall not...
00:36:02Mr. Smith, are you all right?
00:36:15I'm fine.
00:36:15I'm fine.
00:36:17It's had a weird feeling about something.
00:36:21Like a bad feeling?
00:36:22Not sure.
00:36:25What should we do?
00:36:26We're pretty close to the entrance.
00:36:27Just follow me when he walks away.
00:36:34Chris, I can't run.
00:36:36Don't move.
00:36:45911, 911, C-Burk, is he police?
00:36:49Yeah.
00:36:49There's a robber.
00:36:50The grocery store on West Maple.
00:36:53There's one guy with a gun.
00:36:57We need an Abbey.
00:36:57We need an Abbey.
00:36:58I'll just bring you.
00:37:02Help is on the way.
00:37:05We're fine.
00:37:09Boss, Mr. Fort is waiting for you in the conference room.
00:37:12Right.
00:37:13Right.
00:37:13Come on.
00:37:33Daddy.
00:37:35Come on.
00:37:36God damn it.
00:37:37Goddammit!
00:37:44Please, pick up. Come on.
00:37:46Damn it.
00:37:53Pick up. Goddammit, please.
00:37:56Who's there?
00:37:59Come out. Don't make me ask again.
00:38:02My team has done an appraisal for the property.
00:38:04It looks nice, and I think...
00:38:11Mr. Smith, are you okay?
00:38:15It just feels a little bit dry in here.
00:38:19Turn down the AC a little.
00:38:21Yeah, of course.
00:38:25Why don't we all just take a break?
00:38:27I could use the fresh air, too.
00:38:34Oh, my God.
00:38:39Everything all right, Tom?
00:38:41I think something's wrong.
00:38:42My mom just called, and she never calls me this late, and...
00:38:46Let alone on a weekday, my wife's with her, and...
00:38:50Calm down. I'm sure everything's fine.
00:38:53Paul, can you check the news?
00:38:55Sure.
00:38:56Now.
00:38:57Well, it seems like a shooting is happening on West Maple Street.
00:39:00See, I am alive straight.
00:39:02These are on the scene.
00:39:03Working to secure the area.
00:39:04Attempting sheriff's home.
00:39:05Jesus Christ, fully calling for reports of an armed robbery inside a local store.
00:39:16Are you okay?
00:39:17I think my water just broke.
00:39:24Get up!
00:39:27Don't shoot!
00:39:31That bastard.
00:39:33Oh, my God. I...
00:39:34Mr. Smith, I need to get there as fast as I can.
00:39:37I'm going with you.
00:39:39Get the car ready.
00:39:40Yes, sir.
00:39:42This country needs gun control.
00:39:44Let me get my weapon.

00:43:13Do you remember?
00:43:16Lisa.
00:43:19Oh, God, Lisa.
00:43:21Please wake up, Lisa.
00:43:31This reminds me of the day I had you 30 years ago.
00:43:35God, that hurt.
00:43:37Mom, this isn't helping.
00:43:39But we made it, didn't we?
00:43:40Hey, and so will Lisa.
00:43:43Hey, everything's going to be all righty.
00:43:51Doctor, is Lisa and my baby?
00:43:55Mother and daughter are both safe and healthy.
00:43:57And at 12.05, December 25th, I'd say it's a Christmas miracle.
00:44:05However, Lisa did lose a lot of blood and she's very weak.
00:44:08So one of you needs to come with me.
00:44:14You go first.
00:44:15Yeah, I'm going to check on Jerry.
00:44:19Mom, there's something that I need to tell you about Mr. Smith.
00:44:21You know him?
00:44:25Yeah, actually, I know him.
00:44:27Are you coming or not?
00:44:28Oh, sorry.
00:44:29Go.
00:44:30We'll talk later.
00:44:31Okay.
00:44:40Jerry.
00:44:44Jerry.
00:44:44Jerry.
00:44:46Why does he look so different?
00:44:49Like my old Jerry.
00:44:51Jerry.
00:44:53Oh.
00:44:54I'm awake.
00:44:56What time is it?
00:44:58Five past midnight.
00:45:00Gosh, that late?
00:45:03One second, I need to make a call.
00:45:06I kept somebody waiting all day.
00:45:08Go ahead.
00:45:14Merry Christmas, my hero.
00:45:16Don't be late for the party tomorrow.
00:45:19We have a lot to talk about.
00:45:21Hand to God.
00:45:28I'll be there on time.
00:45:42One more kiss.
00:45:44Slowly this time.
00:45:45You nut.
00:45:47You nut.
00:45:47You nut.
00:45:47You nut.
00:45:47You nut.
00:46:18I cannot believe you're here. Why did you stay in the hospital?
00:46:33I wasn't going to miss your Christmas party, and neither was your new granddaughter.
00:46:41What's her name?
00:46:44Chris. We named her after you, Mom.
00:46:48I am honored.
00:46:53Dr. Ken, Lisa needs some rest, so can she take your room?
00:46:56Of course. We'll wake you up for dinner.
00:46:59That'd be great. Thanks.
00:47:07Mom, I need to tell you something.
00:47:11Um, it's about Mr. Smith.
00:47:17What about him?
00:47:19Don't tell me you don't like him.
00:47:21No, I think he's great, really.
00:47:24Um...
00:47:25Have a seat.
00:47:28Hey, Helen. How are you?
00:47:31Good, good. Are you coming?
00:47:34Um...
00:47:35Merry Christmas, Dad.
00:47:42Helen is not coming. Her husband heard his back last night. He won't even be able to move today.
00:47:46Well, I'm glad that, uh, that Aunt Helen and Uncle Greg are still in love.
00:47:51Yeah, have you ever seen that couple not be together?
00:47:53Way back to the point, uh, Mom.
00:47:56Oh. Oh.
00:47:57That thought.
00:47:57Merry Christmas.
00:48:17Merry Christmas, buddy. Ooh, look at all this. Thank you.
00:48:21Watch out. Be careful now. It's my special mac and cheese.
00:48:24Come on.
00:48:25All right.
00:48:26Yeah, you look nice.
00:48:27Thanks.
00:48:27Coming through.
00:48:29Ah.
00:48:31Tom, my man.
00:48:33Haven't seen you around the bowling alley lately.
00:48:36I know. We really missed you.
00:48:39But me and Lisa, the one who was busy.
00:48:42Ah, a little too busy for his Uncle Antoine.
00:48:45We just had a baby.
00:48:46What?
00:48:47Yeah.
00:48:48Oh, my God.
00:48:50Congratulations.
00:48:52Mom? Mom, can you hang on a second?
00:48:54Mom, remember Antoine's mac and cheese?
00:48:57It was amazing.
00:48:58I'm sure it's great, but Mom, please, there's something that I really need to talk to.
00:49:03If you could just give me a moment to tell you.
00:49:05Mom is just a little busy right now.
00:49:07Why don't you, um, go watch the football with Antoine?
00:49:10But Mom...
00:49:10Hi, Chris.
00:49:22Dad, I mean, Jerry, uh, dropped us off.
00:49:26He's parking.
00:49:27Oh, come in.
00:49:28Come in.
00:49:29Uh, homemade lame chops.
00:49:35I made them myself.
00:49:37I didn't know you were such a chef.
00:49:38It's my favorite.
00:49:40Uh, I really appreciate you standing up for us the other night at the bar.
00:49:45Well, you can't expect a father to like someone who stole his daughter's heart.
00:49:48And you're lucky he only yelled at you.
00:49:50Ha, ha, ha.
00:49:52Oh, come on.
00:50:22May I come in, darling?
00:50:27Is this Tom Cruise?
00:50:30Because, uh, I've been expecting Jerry.
00:50:32Ha, ha, ha.
00:50:39You're part of the family now.
00:50:42Don't let Emma down.
00:50:43Dad!
00:50:45I wouldn't dream of it.
00:50:47Follow me, boys and girls.
00:50:48Oh, come on.
00:50:52After your sweater, all you like is good, bud.
00:50:59Jerry, my old friend.
00:51:02How are you?
00:51:03Very well.
00:51:05Now that we're finally all together.
00:51:08This is Antoine, my best friend.
00:51:10Hello.
00:51:10And this is Tom, my son.
00:51:15Uh, I believe some of you already know him.
00:51:19Great to see you again.
00:51:21I'm so glad that we're truly a family now.
00:51:26Nice to meet you again, Mr. Smith.
00:51:28I'm afraid there's many things that you have not told my mother.
00:51:31Tom.
00:51:36Mom.
00:51:38Did you know that your new husband is the richest man in the States?
00:51:42Hang on.
00:51:44I didn't mean to...
00:51:45Tom?
00:51:46Come with me.
00:51:47Come with me.
00:51:47Come with me.
00:51:49Could we just have one day of peace and quiet?
00:52:10One day when you are trying to play some game?
00:52:15I just found out yesterday.
00:52:16I had to say something.
00:52:18Mom, I...
00:52:19I know you.
00:52:21Okay?
00:52:22You wouldn't be with him if you knew about his past.
00:52:24You would think he's way out of our league.
00:52:26Did you know...
00:52:28He's supposed to be having dinner with the president.
00:52:32The president of the United States.
00:52:35I mean, the press is already wondering why he's missing and where he is.
00:52:39If they find out that you two are married...
00:52:42You're going to have journalists sticking their noses in every aspect of your life.
00:52:47And they're going to take away your freedom.
00:52:50Wow, you really are a lawyer.
00:52:54Mom.
00:52:55Mom, this isn't a joke.
00:52:58Do you really want to be a fixture in the tabloids?
00:53:00Because you will.
00:53:01Tom.
00:53:02What?
00:53:04I mean, beyond everything I just said, have you thought about it?
00:53:07Have you thought about why he's keeping this from you?
00:53:10Why he's hiding it?
00:53:12That man doesn't trust you.
00:53:14I do trust your mom.
00:53:22I trust her with all my heart.
00:53:25It's just that everything happened too fast.
00:53:28I couldn't find the right time.
00:53:30Bullshit.
00:53:31Tell her, right now, everything.
00:53:34Mr. Overdriver.
00:53:35Mr. Smith, I've worked for you for many years and I trust you as a boss and a father.
00:53:41But I can't sit by and let you lie to my mother.
00:53:44I swear.
00:53:45I just...
00:53:46Tom.
00:53:47I appreciate you telling me you should have waited one day, just one more day so I can have my Christmas.
00:53:55What's the use of marriage if nothing's ever shared?
00:54:08You said that before, didn't you?
00:54:10Chris, I'm really sorry.
00:54:12I...
00:54:12I'm just...
00:54:15I never meant for any of this to happen.
00:54:17I was trying to find the best moment.
00:54:20I need some time.
00:54:24And some space.
00:54:25God.
00:54:33This is bad.
00:54:35Tom Shittner brought that up at Christmas.
00:54:38I mean, if someone was lying to my mom, I'd probably do the same thing.
00:54:42My mom.
00:54:43Not the time.
00:54:48I'm sorry, guys.
00:54:49I ruined Christmas.
00:54:55Dad, I'm sorry.
00:55:01I...
00:55:01I really screwed up.
00:55:10Where did that photo come from?
00:55:13It's a family photo.
00:55:16From when I was younger.
00:55:19That's...
00:55:20your family?
00:55:23That's...
00:55:24your father,
00:55:26your mother,
00:55:27your sister,
00:55:29and yourself?
00:55:31I don't understand.
00:55:32What's the big deal?
00:55:34I...
00:55:35I...
00:55:36Don't push me away.
00:55:50Jesus.
00:55:51I've searched for 20 years to find someone like you.
00:55:58You make me feel young.
00:56:00And alive.
00:56:04You have to understand.
00:56:07Ever since the tragedy,
00:56:08I've only lived for my daughter.
00:56:12She's the only thing I have left.
00:56:16Now she has John.
00:56:17My job is done.
00:56:19She's safe.
00:56:22And loved.
00:56:24But I have no one.
00:56:27No one except...
00:56:28You.
00:56:32Please.
00:56:33Chris.
00:56:35Please.
00:56:37I don't understand.
00:56:38Baby, it's time you tell me about the tragedy.
00:56:44What happened 20 years ago?
00:56:47Where did you get this?
00:56:50This is the last thing that my mother left me.
00:56:56She died in a landslide 20 years ago.
00:56:59A landslide?
00:57:00Where?
00:57:00Maple.
00:57:01The barren mountain?
00:57:0440 miles north of...
00:57:06Anchorage, Alaska?
00:57:08Yeah.
00:57:09Yeah, that's exactly where Dad said that she...
00:57:11Dad?
00:57:13Mr. Smith?
00:57:16No, no.
00:57:17There's...
00:57:17There's no way.
00:57:18He looks completely different.
00:57:19The...
00:57:20The landslide nearly crushed his skull.
00:57:23The doctors had to give him a whole new face.
00:57:30Jesus Christ.
00:57:33He's my dad?
00:57:35Yeah.
00:57:3620 years ago, my family went up to a barren mountain.
00:57:52God.
00:57:54Like, today's not crazy enough.
00:57:56Jesus.
00:57:58I'm gonna kill whoever is at the door.
00:58:00Mom.
00:58:01Mom, wait a second.
00:58:03Do you remember our family photo on the wall?
00:58:05Yeah, of course.
00:58:06What about it?
00:58:07What am I?
00:58:07Oh my gosh, just look at this.
00:58:10Do you recognize that photo?
00:58:13Why is this photo of water damaged?
00:58:18Wait.
00:58:19Is that...
00:58:25Oh, it can't be.
00:58:27Huh?
00:58:35You ruined my entire life, and this is what you get.
00:59:03Ah, Jerry!
00:59:04Oh, my God.
00:59:12Mom, are you okay?
00:59:15The police are on their way, asshole.
00:59:17This is all her fault.
00:59:19I'm not the one who's trying to run up a bowling alley.
00:59:21I'm gonna kill all of you.
00:59:24Get some rope.
00:59:26Where the fuck are you all?
00:59:27Shut the fuck up.
00:59:31Oh, my God, John, you're my hero.
00:59:38I think that was enough craziness for one day.
00:59:42Let's get this asshole out of here.
00:59:44Just wait here.
00:59:45John, I got this.
00:59:46Big me things on the plane.
00:59:48Okay.
00:59:49Let's go.
00:59:49Well, looks like someone made the naughty list this year.
01:00:08What happened to you?
01:00:09Why do you look so different?
01:00:14Why didn't you come back to me?
01:00:18What's this all about?
01:00:23Is she?
01:00:27Is she?
01:00:28Yes, Pa.
01:00:31That's Mom.
01:00:34And this is Tom.
01:00:38I'm sorry I didn't recognize you before.
01:00:41Tom.
01:00:43You're my son.
01:00:47Tell me this is real.
01:00:49Please.
01:00:50Tom.
01:00:50Are you my wife?
01:00:55The Chris that I married.
01:00:59Did you hike Anchorage 20 years ago?
01:01:03Mount Maple?
01:01:06I guess so.
01:01:09My memory.
01:01:11The accident.
01:01:12I mean, I can't remember who I was.
01:01:17My backpack, my ID, all gone.
01:01:23The only thing we have left is...
01:01:26And her.
01:01:34Oh, my God.
01:01:35How did you survive?
01:01:39A hunter.
01:01:40He found us in the woods.
01:01:42Injured and cold, but alive.
01:01:47I thought...
01:01:48I thought you...
01:01:50And Tom.
01:01:54I thought you were dead.
01:01:58I thought you were dead, too.
01:02:10Mom and Dad!
01:02:11Son, get in here.
01:02:17Groupon, come on.

01:02:31I never thought it would actually happen for real.
