00:00Hey.
00:01Hi.
00:02Oh, it's so wonderful to see the two of you.
00:04Oh, it's wonderful to see you too.
00:06Where's Aiden?
00:07I thought he'd be with you.
00:08Oh, he's grabbing dinner with some friends.
00:10He'll meet us at the house later tonight.
00:11I'm just glad he found time to squeeze us in.
00:13I know what I was like at that age.
00:15At that age?
00:17Okay, I've missed a few Christmases over the years.
00:20It's okay, it's okay.
00:22You're home now, but I can't tell you
00:25how happy it makes me to have both you and Lulu home for Christmas.
00:33Give the entire staff Christmas Eve off?
00:39My Lulu!
00:40You don't have to knock.
00:42This is your home, after all.
00:52I know who you are.
00:54But Carly never mentioned you were coming over.
00:58Well, Carly took pity on me and invited me to spend the evening with the family,
01:02but look, if I'm intruding, I...
01:04You're not intruding.
01:06We have plenty of food, and no one should be alone on Christmas Eve.
01:10Let me take your coat.
01:12Thank you. Thank you so much.
01:15You failed to mention the dress code.
01:18Well, there are two very excited little girls
01:21with lots of stickers upstairs that are waiting for you.
01:24Uh-huh.
01:25You sure about this?
01:31You're probably wondering what I'm doing.
01:34Olivia and Leo are ice skating,
01:36which left me with cheese wheel duty for the evening.
01:40And as you can see, it is a big responsibility.
01:43You know what, I'll bring up some of that to Monica later.
01:46She's been complaining that Olivia gave everybody the night off.
01:49Oh, sounds like she's feeling better.
01:51I'm sure you moving in here has helped her recovery.
01:55My being here helps her?
01:57I'm glad.
01:59She's not the only one who's glad.
02:01I'm grateful that you have decided to finally move home.
02:07Doug! Sorry I'm late.
02:09My name's not Doug.
02:11I need a big favor.
02:12Excuse me?
02:13Hold on to this. I'll be right back.
02:17Do you want to tell me why you took me away from my Christmas Eve plans?
02:21Our daughter has had a terrible year.
02:24And I thought maybe you'd want the chance to try to make it a tiny bit better.
02:33I have been willing to overcome my contempt for you
02:36in order to try to make our daughter happy.
02:40And if you're not willing to do the same, by all means,
02:43go have a fabulous evening.
02:47Sorry I'm late.
02:49Yeah, Merry Christmas.
02:50I'm glad you could make it.
02:52Cody, I didn't think you were coming.
02:54Changing plans.
02:56What's in the bag?
02:57What's in the bag? What's in the bag?
02:58Just my favorite cowboy hat.
03:00Why'd you bring it?
03:02Well, I thought it was time I passed it on to someone else.
03:16Okay.
03:35Okay.
03:36What exactly is your plan to make Molly's Christmas better?
03:44Christmas decorations.
03:45That's your brilliant idea?
03:46At least one of us is willing to ease her pain.
03:49That's when I thought you couldn't get any more judgmental.
03:51You're right into Christmas on your high horse.
03:52Listen, jerk.
03:53If you don't want to help, there's the door.
03:55No, no, no, no.
03:56I'm not going to let you play hero while you paint me as the bad guy, okay?
03:59You want Christmas spirit?
04:00I'll show you Christmas spirit.
04:01Here.
04:02All right.
04:03What's first?
04:04Slap a piece of that over your mouth and help me unpack these boxes.
04:11Ho, ho, ho.
04:12Let's get festive.
04:16Lulu, you cannot go looking for Charlotte on your own.
04:21Someone needs to find her.
04:23Yes, and you said the WSB and the FBI are already looking.
04:27For Valentine, but I don't care about Valentine.
04:29I care about Charlotte.
04:30I will do whatever it takes to find her.
04:33I can see your father in that.
04:36Going after Charlotte is exactly what he would do.
04:40So what are you going to do?
04:41You're going to trot around the world and hope to hell that you run into her somewhere?
04:45That's not a plan.
04:46I can't do nothing.
04:47That's a wish.
04:49Yes, what you can do is you can wait for the authorities to try to find her,
04:53and if they don't, you'll have this family's resources to bring her home.
04:58Okay.
05:00I'll hold off.
05:02For now.
05:04Now you have to promise me something else.
05:08What?
05:09I don't want you to forget that you have a son.
05:12A son that has been waiting four years to celebrate Christmas with you.
05:15You need to be there for Rocco and for the rest of your family, for that matter.
05:20Promise me you will forget about them.
05:24I could never.
05:29Thanks, Tracy.
05:30Oh, I'm just doing what your father would do.
05:35Okay.
05:36Okay.
05:37If you have something to say about Jack, say it right now while he's in the restroom.
05:40Do you really want a WSB agent roaming around your house?
05:46Jack has been a good friend to me, and he's also been a good friend to people we care about.
05:51When the day comes and you need me, I will be there.
05:58I appreciate that.
05:59I just don't think this time it's going to be necessary.
06:02Okay.
06:04Canapé?
06:08I'm so sorry about what's going on, Michael.
06:11Amelia and Wylie, they should be here right now.
06:14I'll see them in the morning.
06:18Any hope of reconciling?
06:21I'm not giving up yet.
06:23I hope it's okay to say this, but I feel for Willow.
06:26There's nothing worse than realizing you can't take something back no matter how much you wish you could.
06:34Yeah.
06:35I'm just not sure Willow wishes she could take it back.
06:39If Grandfather could see you now.
06:43Living in the Quartermain house.
06:46You know, I did move back in because of Danny.
06:49I know.
06:51I used to pray for the day Grandfather would cast you aside the same way you turned your back on us.
06:56But he never did.
06:58Because he believed in you.
07:01I'm starting to see what he saw all those years ago.
07:05It took me a long time to realize Grandfather was a really good man.
07:10Amen to that.
07:12So I take it you'll be joining us tomorrow to open presents?
07:16Yes, Danny and I will be there.
07:18Well, get ready for the Quartermain craziness.
07:22Isn't that every day?
07:23Yeah.
07:27Yeah, I think it needs a little bit more.
07:29There you go.
07:30Perfect.
07:31All right.
07:32And...
07:33How's that?
07:35Sorry, I never had this problem.
07:37One of the benefits of having a huge noggin.
07:39It fits fine.
07:40That's right, cowboy. It sure does.
07:43You really made James's Christmas.
07:45I don't think Cody needed much convincing.
07:48Look at him.
07:52It's clear that he wanted to be with family.
07:55We both did.
07:58Nice hat, Santa Devane.
08:00Oh, Santa Devane. I like that. Some nice ring to it. Thank you.
08:04Yeah, I must concur. And, um, may I add that as Santa's chief elf, um, the search for certain persons, you know, the naughty list.
08:13Okay, got it.
08:14It's progressing quite nicely.
08:16Oh, that's great. Thank you. That really does brighten up my Christmas Eve.
08:19But I'm going to tell you that when my special surprise arrives, there's going to be an awful lot of holiday cheer to go around.
08:30You look so at peace right now.
08:33I can't imagine how you must be feeling with everything that's going on at the hospital.
08:38Oh, look at this place. Look at all the decorations and the lights and this tree. It's the most magical place on earth.
08:47So my worry is they can wait for another day.
08:51Nothing beats Rice Plaza at Christmas. I can't think of another place I'd rather be.
09:01Think, Spinelli. Where did we put the kids' gifts? We told them they could open one present tonight.
09:05Yeah, don't worry. We'll find them. And thankfully, they insisted on giving a tour of the playroom, so we have a little more time.
09:09Okay, okay. Check the usual spots.
09:11Right.
09:14Oh, sorry.
09:15Whoa. Never a problem.
09:18Hey, listen, I just want you to know it really means a lot to us that you, uh, came tonight.
09:23I know things have been rough lately and, uh, if you ever want to talk.
09:28Uh, yeah, not much of a talker. But, you know, if you ever feel like throwing a hatchet around after a couple beers, you just let me know.
09:37I'm there.
09:40Hey.
09:41Hey.
09:42Oh, that sure looks good.
09:43Yeah, it tastes good, too.
09:44I think I'll go grab one. Excuse me.
09:49That kid needs everything.
09:51Teenage boys.
09:52Yep.
09:53How's it going at the quarter mains?
09:55Yeah, it's crazy, you know.
09:57If you ever want a break, I'm sure my mom would love to see you both.
10:01Yeah, you know, I'll, um, see what rocker wants when we meet. Maybe we'll, uh, swing by.
10:05Great.
10:06Yeah, I'll let you two get back to your, your night.
10:09Yeah.
10:10Merry Christmas.
10:11Merry Christmas.
10:15Uh, he's putting up a good front, but I can tell he's just going through the motions.
10:21Well, when you're not with the person you love, sometimes it's, uh, it's all you can do.
10:28Merry Christmas.
10:29Merry Christmas.
10:30See you later.
10:31Merry Christmas.
10:34Dr. Gannon.
10:35Hey.
10:36Nice to see you have a night off.
10:38Deputy Mayor Jordan. I'm actually on my way to GH. I volunteered to go on a few ships tonight.
10:44Oh, well, then you'll actually see my son. He just called to cancel our Christmas Eve plans.
10:50I asked him to work a double shift tonight.
10:52I'm sorry to hear about that.
10:54Yeah. So, what are you doing here?
10:57Everyone at GH keeps mentioning the incredible Christmas tree, so I wanted to see what all the fuss was about.
11:05But, uh, full disclosure, I was hoping to run into you.
11:10I got you something.
11:15I just can't imagine what you must be feeling.
11:18I know this isn't the Christmas that you planned for yourself or for Rocco.
11:23No, it's not.
11:28But it is great seeing Rocco with his mom.
11:32Why don't you come and spend Christmas with us?
11:34You know, you should be surrounded by your family right now. Honestly, it really does make things easier.
11:43I just don't know if anything's going to make this Christmas easier, you know?
11:48To the new owner of Aurora Media.
11:52That is quite the maneuver you pulled off.
11:55I would have loved to seen the look on Drew's smug face when you pulled the rug out from underneath him.
12:00I mean, he's probably not going to like it.
12:03I mean, he's probably already plotting his next move.
12:06You'll be ready for him.
12:11I, uh, I wanted to offer you my condolences. I was very sorry to hear about Officer Heller.
12:17It was just a tragic and just a senseless loss for you and for the city.
12:23Yeah, um, how did you know about Vex?
12:26Uh, well, the Bureau exchanges information with various entities, including local law enforcement.
12:32Right, no, but how did you know that we were together?
12:38Oh, I'm sure that your mother must have mentioned it.
12:44Hey, Dad.
12:46Yeah?
12:47We should probably get going to Rice Plaza if we want to make it for the tree lighting.
12:51All right.
12:52All right.
12:53Merry Christmas, everybody.
12:54Merry Christmas.
12:55Merry Christmas.
13:04You okay?
13:06I have a confession to make.
13:10It's about Lulu.
13:11Look, I am very grateful for her recovery. I know how much it means to her family.
13:16But?
13:17But she annoys the hell out of me.
13:19There we go.
13:20There we go.
13:21I was watching her with Tracy and it took everything in me not to gouge her eyes out.
13:26Do you think maybe you're just jealous of their relationship?
13:30No. She just always has to be the center of attention.
13:33Lulu's probably just trying to make up for lost time.
13:35She's always been that way. Darling Lulu, who everyone loves and who's never wrong.
13:43I'm listening to myself and I must sound so horrible.
13:47You're not horrible. And you're allowed to have these feelings.
13:52You know, I don't know if I ever told you this, but when I first moved to Port Charles, I actually had a little crush on Lulu.
14:00Just had it.
14:02Someone must have picked my pocket.
14:04Hey.
14:05I'm gonna need that wallet back now.
14:07Absolutely not. You stole it.
14:10Okay. Guilty.
14:13Like I had it coming.
14:16Yippee-ki-yay!
14:17Oh.
14:19Cody is teaching James how to improve his lasso skills.
14:22Okay.
14:23I better get in there before he wrangles up his sister.
14:25I see.
14:26Good luck.
14:27Thanks.
14:30Anna.
14:31Yeah.
14:32There's something I wanted to talk to you about.
14:34Sure. Of course.
14:36I know that you were married to Robert and you share a daughter with him.
14:40Yeah. Robin.
14:42Right.
14:44I wanted to ask your opinion on whether—
14:48Sasha.
14:51Robert Scorpio is one of the most generous, kind-hearted men I've ever known.
14:57You know, you're very, very fortunate to have him as a father.
15:02I just— I wish I had a chance to get to know him.
15:06Yeah. There'll be plenty of time for that.
15:09If he ever comes back to Port Charles.
15:11He will.
15:13And I guarantee you, when he does, you'll see that he'll be worth the wait.
15:22Look at that tree. I feel like it's even bigger than last year.
15:27That is partly because of your father's very generous donation.
15:31Well, the community has given me so much that I thought it was important to pay it forward.
15:37Merry Christmas.
15:39Merry Christmas.
15:44And to you, too, sweetheart.
15:45Merry Christmas.
15:48A towel.
15:49A spa wrap with Velcro to prevent slippage.
15:54In case I get locked in another steam room?
15:57Never mind.
15:58In case I get locked in another steam room?
16:01Never hurts to be prepared.
16:06But let's be clear.
16:08My towel was never in danger of slipping.
16:12Sadly, I'm all too aware.
16:16I should get going.
16:19Merry Christmas.
16:21Merry Christmas.
16:23I want you to know, I know it must be tough.
16:27The holidays and everything.
16:29But I'm very proud of how you've handled everything.
16:35Well, I learned from the best.
16:39We all did.
16:45Whoa, hey.
16:46Hi.
16:47Party over already?
16:48Oh, no. The party has just begun.
16:50Yeah, Amy wants us to build a snow family that she and Donna can see from their window, so...
16:54Cool. Can I help?
16:56Please. The more, the merrier.
16:57Let's go, then.
16:59Just a heads up. Mom has a visitor.
17:02You want some coffee?
17:04Yeah, I'd love a cup.
17:07It's in the kitchen.
17:09I'll get it.
17:11Thanks.
17:13You're welcome.
17:15Bye.
17:16Bye.
17:17Bye.
17:18Bye.
17:19Bye.
17:20Bye.
17:21Bye.
17:22Bye.
17:23Bye.
17:24Bye.
17:25Bye.
17:26Bye.
17:27Bye.
17:28Bye.
17:29It's in the kitchen.
18:00Thanks.
18:03Did you just thank me?
18:06Dad, what's up with this Brennan guy?
18:09You and Carly seem awfully close.
18:11That's her business.
18:13You're trying to act like you don't care?
18:15No. Listen, the only thing that I care about is being here on Christmas Eve with all these beautiful lights, taking them all in, and having a good time.
18:24It's being here on Christmas Eve with all these beautiful lights, taking them all in, and being with my beautiful daughter.
18:36I love being with you, too, Dad.
18:38Give me one good reason why I shouldn't turn you into the cops.
18:42Because we have a chance to do a good deed for somebody on Christmas Eve. Isn't that more important?
18:47You are the only one for me.
18:50Keep talking.
18:52You were there for me when my dad passed, and when Finn relapsed. You got me through some dark times.
18:59Lulu, she's just Lulu. It's okay to feel that about her.
19:03God forbid I be the bigger person.
19:06You are being way too hard on yourself. And that is why we're made for each other.
19:12We both recognize that we're not perfect, and we're always striving to be the best versions of ourselves.
19:16Yeah, I don't know if we'll ever reach perfection, but I know I couldn't imagine being on this journey with anyone else.
19:28Any word from Lulu?
19:30Looking for me, big brother?
19:32I should check your ears for frostbite. You must have missed her.
19:35Yeah, right. Mom, the plaza looks amazing. Are you ready for your tree lighting duties?
19:40I think I am ready for anything now that I have both of my kids here.
19:45Oh, sweetheart.
19:48Oh, honey, I'm so sorry.
19:51I know this isn't the perfect Christmas for you because Charlotte's not here.
19:55But I really hope that you can find a way to enjoy the holiday.
20:01Christmas is about having faith, right?
20:05Well, I have faith that Charlotte, we're going to find her, and we're going to bring her home.
20:08And until then, I'm going to make up for all the time I lost with the family I have right here.
20:14Speaking of which, what happened to Dante and Rocco?
20:17Oh, they should be here somewhere.
20:20Don't worry. I'll find them.
20:22Okay, hon.
20:26Same old Lulu.
20:29Oh, it's about time you got here.
20:32Where's Daddy?
20:34With Joss and Michael, actually.
20:35Mr. Morgan, such a pleasure to see you again.
20:38I, uh, just so you know, I didn't expect to be here.
20:44I hope my presence won't be a problem.
20:46It's not.
20:48You know, I should check in with the bureau.
20:52Would you excuse me for a moment?
21:00It's Christmas.
21:02What are you thinking?
21:03He had nowhere to go. What was I supposed to do?
21:05After everything that happened with the FBI, you want to push in the crosshairs as WSP?
21:08Oh, come on. It's not like that with Jack.
21:10Carly, he's using you. How many times do I have to tell you?
21:13You have made it abundantly clear that you don't trust him, okay?
21:16And I love you. But you're not the boss of me.
21:22Shockingly, we did a hell of a job.
21:25Well, we did manage to raise an incredible daughter together.
21:28Despite her mother being a controlling shrew.
21:30And her father being a conniving jackass.
21:33Oh, look. More decorations.
21:36Oh, goody.
21:52I watched that jerk rip off the old woman in the plaza who sells handmade ornaments.
21:56Okay? He paid for one and he took five.
21:58I just... I want to make sure she gets what's owed to her.
22:04What are you going to do with the wallet?
22:06I guess you're just going to have to trust me.
22:17Excuse me, officer. I found this wallet.
22:20Oh. I'll make sure it's returned to its rightful owner.
22:23Thank you, officer.
22:24There's my guy.
22:26Hey.
22:28Hey.
22:29What's going on, G? You doing okay?
22:31Yeah, I'm good. Although I'm late for dinner at the Q's. I just got sidetracked by that girl.
22:38What girl?
22:47To Michael. For pulling the strings.
22:51To Michael. For pulling one over on Drew.
22:54Ah, corporate takeovers. The true meaning of Christmas.
22:59Drew losing Aurora is the best gift I could have gotten this year.
23:04And, do you hear that?
23:07I don't hear anything.
23:09No kids in the house.
23:11We get to have a truly silent night.
23:14Well, get ready, Grandma Grinch, because in about a year from now, God willing,
23:18Brooklyn and Chase will have a little bundle of their own.
23:22Oof. And the house will be filled with incessant crying.
23:26Hey. You're talking about my first grandchild.
23:30That kid can't come soon enough.
23:39Brooklyn and Chase are going to be amazing parents.
23:42Okay, well, let's not put the cart before the horse, please. Okay, Brooklyn is not pregnant yet.
23:47And the last thing that those two need is to be concerned that the whole family is waiting with bated breath for...
23:53Waiting with bated breath for what?
23:57Gio. He was supposed to be here an hour ago, and nobody knows where he is.
24:13Merry Christmas.
24:15Merry Christmas, sweetheart.
24:17Great job, team. Avery and Donna are going to love it.
24:24Everything okay?
24:26Yeah, yeah. Jason was just filling us in on everything that's been going on at the quartermaids.
24:30Oh, really? He was?
24:32Uh, how is the Snow family?
24:35Oh, well, uh, ask Danny. He took a lead out there.
24:38Oh, really? Oh, my gosh. Donna and Avery are really going to appreciate your efforts.
24:42And if you play your cards right, you just might get stickers all over your face.
24:46Don't ask.
24:48Speaking of playing your cards right, are you interested in defending your title as the holiday war champion?
24:54Oh, my God. I'm going to kick your butt.
24:56Come on, let's go.
24:58I think I'm going to check out the terrace, if that's okay.
25:00Yeah, of course. Go for it.
25:02Yeah, I'll join you. I could use some fresh air.
25:06All right, I'm shuffling.
25:08You don't trust me to shuffle?
25:10No, I don't trust you to shuffle. Absolutely not.
25:12Okay.
25:16That's a nice diversionary tactic.
25:19Yeah.
25:21Michael loves his sisters.
25:23Wow.
25:26Oh, gosh.
25:28Oh, my gosh. You found them? Where were they?
25:30Oh, they were in the, um...
25:32The trunk of my car, I just remembered.
25:34Of course they were.
25:36I can't believe I almost ruined Christmas.
25:38Hey, you could never ruin Christmas.
25:39Let's be honest, these toys will be forgotten about in a matter of months,
25:42but this time spent with family is something they'll remember forever.
25:46And isn't that truly what Christmas is about?
25:48Uh-huh.
25:50Oh, thank you.
25:52I'm sure the kids are going to love their gifts,
25:54but nothing will top what I got for Christmas this year.
25:57That makes two of us.
26:00Oh, and you know what? I did...
26:03Crazy, I found this in the cartoon.
26:05It's like you read my mind.
26:10Hey.
26:12Hey.
26:14You okay?
26:16Yeah, yeah.
26:18Aside from the fact that I keep thinking Sam's going to walk through here,
26:21which is crazy, I know.
26:24I guess some people's Christmas wishes don't come true, you know?
26:30I'm sorry, Dante.
26:33Uh, there is one person's wish who did come true, and that's Rocco.
26:38He's, uh...
26:41He's really happy he gets to spend the holidays with his mom.
26:45And we're both grateful for that.
26:59Is he always on his phone?
27:01Yeah, yeah, he is. It's annoying.
27:03Something else I'll have to get used to.
27:15Uh...
27:17Where are you?
27:20Are you okay? Yeah.
27:23Yeah, she is.
27:26Uh...
27:28Hold on.
27:30Uh...
27:31Mom, can I talk to you for a second?
27:34Um...
27:36Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'll be over here.
27:39Um...
27:40What is it, honey?
27:42Do you have a phone call?
27:44On your phone?
27:46Take it.
27:50Hello?
27:56Oh my God, it's you.
27:58Oh my God, it's you.
28:01Did you guys do all of this together?
28:05We wanted to do something special for you.
28:08Yeah, to be fair, it was your mother's idea, but I was happy to play a small part.
28:13This is the best Christmas gift I could have gotten this year.
28:17I love you both so much.
28:23We love you too, sweetie.
28:25We love you too, sweetie.
28:33I'm just glad I don't have to cook for once.
28:36You do deserve a break, but you need to do yourself a favor and you have to try something.
28:40Did you ever think that one day it would turn out like this?
28:43Aren't we the lucky ones?
28:45Oh, hold on.
28:47Oh, my surprise is here.
28:49Uh-oh. Uh-oh.
28:50Uh-oh.
28:54Emma!
28:57Merry Christmas, everyone.
28:59Oh, you did not oversell this surprise.
29:02Oh, honey, it's so good to see you.
29:05It's so good to see you.
29:07It's good to see all of you too.
29:09Hi, Emma.
29:12Merry Christmas.
29:14Glad you came.
29:16If it helps, you don't have to admit that I was right.
29:19Wasn't planning on it.
29:22Merry Christmas, Sasha.
29:24Merry Christmas, Cody.
29:28Feels like you want to get something off your chest.
29:32It's just, um, when we were building Snowmen, it made me think of Mom.
29:39I have this memory where she let me play hooky the day before winter break.
29:43Yeah, your mom was never really one for the rules.
29:46Yeah, we played in the snow for hours.
29:50It was the best day ever.
29:56I always wonder where she is now.
30:02She's with you.
30:07She's with me too.
30:13You know, when we lose people, they're never really gone. They just, um...
30:19Just become a part of us.
30:24See that star right there? The really bright one?
30:29Yeah.
30:31I think that's Mom, watching over us.
30:37Merry Christmas, Sam.
30:40Merry Christmas, Mom.
30:43I love you.
30:49Better luck next time.
30:51Yeah, that's what I get for letting you shuffle.
30:53Oh, please. What about you? You want to play a game?
30:57Oh, I don't know. I don't really play cards. I've never played that particular card game.
31:01Oh, come on. I thought that all WSB agents were supposed to be very well-versed in the rules of war.
31:06Ooh, she's got you there, Jack.
31:08Okay, deal me in, young lady. Let's see what you got.
31:13I'm going to watch you like a hawk.
31:15Oh, yeah?
31:17You're like your mother, aren't you? I can tell.
31:19Oh, you know...
31:23I'm scared already.
31:25Well, you should be. You should be.
31:27Sorry I'm late. I got caught up at Rice Plaza.
31:30You are right on time.
31:32For what?
31:34My favorite family tradition.
31:38Oh, I'm way ahead of you.
31:40Yeah, this family takes this stuff very seriously.
31:43Yeah, I am going to get a refill.
31:46Hold on, mister. You're not getting out of this.
31:50You better warm up those pipes because you are leading tonight's vocals.
32:00Guess the refill can wait.
32:04You ready?
32:06Yeah.
32:08You ready?
32:10Ready.
32:37Born the king of angels.
32:41Oh, come let us adore him.
32:45Oh, come let us adore him.
32:49Oh, come let us adore him.
32:53Christ the Lord.
32:58Charlotte.
33:00Mom. I've been praying for this for so long.
33:03Prayers have been answered. I'm... I'm back, baby.
33:07Tell me where you are. I'll come get you.
33:10I... I can't.
33:13What do you mean?
33:15I'm not supposed to be calling or texting anyone.
33:18I just... I had to hear your voice.
33:25Rocco's talking to Lulu. He'll be over in a minute.
33:29Mom.
33:30TJ. Oh, aren't you on call tonight?
33:33I was, but Isaiah offered to cover my shift.
33:37Is that so?
33:39I mean, offer really isn't a good enough word. The guy refused to take no for an answer, so...
33:44Well, I am glad you could make it. Now it really feels like Christmas.
33:54Bear with us, folks. We're going to have this tree up and running in no time.
33:58Sweetheart, just tell me where you are.
34:02Please, Charlotte, I have to see you.
34:07Okay. I promise I won't tell anyone.
34:13I swear. It'll just be me. You have my word.
34:20I'll be there soon. See you then.
34:27Did you find out where she is?
34:30I did.
34:32Great. When are we leaving?
34:34I'm leaving right away.
34:36Mom, no.
34:37Rocco, I told her I would come alone. I cannot break that promise and risk losing her.
34:43I need you to do me a favor. Keep tonight's call between us.
34:49Please, Rocco.
34:54Okay, I will. For Charlotte.
34:58I love you.
35:02I love you so much.
35:04I love you, too.
35:07We're going to make this family whole again. I promise.
35:18Merry Christmas, Mom.
35:28Okay, here we go.
35:37Merry Christmas to us all.
35:39Merry Christmas.
