00:00:00Let's see, I'm Chris Parker, I'm 50, I spend most of my free time hiking and collecting
00:00:08climbing equipment.
00:00:09I have a son and a granddaughter on the way.
00:00:1450?
00:00:15Girl, are you that damn old?
00:00:17You said you're 52 on the dating app and you're definitely 60.
00:00:21Boys will be boys, even in their 60s.
00:00:26Start with London, then Paris, and then Rome, and then all the way to Beijing, the three
00:00:30of us.
00:00:31Three of us?
00:00:32You, me, and my wife of course.
00:00:34Your wife?
00:00:35This is a date.
00:00:36My, oh my, you are absolutely stunning.
00:00:37What do you say we get together and have a baby before we get too old, shall we?
00:00:43God, I'd like to see you try.
00:00:46Good, because I always like to record.
00:00:52Excuse me, boss.
00:00:54It's time for your date.
00:00:55Should I leave this here, or?
00:00:56Where is this from?
00:00:57Well, a department store, cheap as it gets.
00:00:58And the car?
00:00:59Once used.
00:01:00Excellent.
00:01:01Is there anything else you need?
00:01:02Just keep this quiet.
00:01:03Yes, boss.
00:01:04No one will ever find out that the chairman of Peak Climbers is going on a date as an
00:01:05ordinary Uber driver.
00:01:06Hi, I'm Jerry.
00:01:07What's with the glasses, four-eyes?
00:01:08Are you blind?
00:01:09Who the hell wants to be with a sick old man?
00:01:10I'm not blind.
00:01:11I'm not blind.
00:01:12I'm not blind.
00:01:13I'm not blind.
00:01:14I'm not blind.
00:01:15I'm not blind.
00:01:16I'm not blind.
00:01:17I'm not blind.
00:01:18I'm not blind.
00:01:19I'm not blind.
00:01:20I'm not blind.
00:01:21I'm not blind.
00:01:22Are you blind?
00:01:23Who the hell wants to be with a sick old man?
00:01:24I'll need 60% of your wages each month.
00:01:2530% will cover daily expenses.
00:01:2630% will go to the bank to cover my mortgage.
00:01:27Oh, how generous!
00:01:28You'll have me 40%!
00:01:29No.
00:01:30That 40% is going straight to my account.
00:01:31I'm down in an hour.
00:01:32We'll stand if you want overnight.
00:01:33Uh, I'm sorry.
00:01:34I'm actually looking for someone to match.
00:01:35I'm sorry.
00:01:36I'm actually looking for someone to match.
00:01:37I'm sorry.
00:01:38I'm sorry.
00:01:39I'm sorry.
00:01:40I'm sorry.
00:01:41I'm sorry.
00:01:42I'm sorry.
00:01:43I'm sorry.
00:01:44I'm sorry.
00:01:45I'm sorry.
00:01:46I'm sorry.
00:01:47I'm sorry.
00:01:48I'm sorry.
00:01:49I'm sorry.
00:01:50I'm sorry.
00:01:51I'm actually looking for someone to marry.
00:01:52Half a million a month?
00:01:53Are you going to marry a sophomore?
00:01:58I think it's a...
00:02:15Hi.
00:02:16I'm Jerry Smith.
00:02:18Chris. Chris Parker.
00:02:20Let's get married.
00:02:23That's your pitch?
00:02:24I'm a very straightforward man.
00:02:26Lucky you.
00:02:29That is exactly my type.
00:02:44Oh, no, no, no. I've got it.
00:02:48If you like peanuts...
00:02:51Mom! What are you doing here?
00:02:53Always so good to see you two.
00:02:57How's work?
00:02:58Same boss. Still great.
00:03:00Wish I had more time off, though.
00:03:03And have you decided on a name for the baby?
00:03:06Yeah, actually.
00:03:12It's Emma.
00:03:14You can't name her that.
00:03:16Emma's your sister's name.
00:03:18That's exactly why I like it.
00:03:20I know she's not around anymore,
00:03:23but I figured that she would appreciate that I named our baby daughter after her.
00:03:28No.
00:03:29That was your grandma's gift for her and her only.
00:03:33I mean, your father and sister have been gone for decades.
00:03:36Let's just let them stay in our memory and not try to replace...
00:03:40Mom!
00:03:41This is my house.
00:03:43I can't have you come in here and try to disrespect that.
00:03:47Sure. You'll get your respect when your daughter is old enough to talk, son.
00:03:53I can't imagine how Dad didn't get driven crazy by you.
00:03:59Don't you ever talk about me and your father like that.
00:04:03I'm a grown man.
00:04:05I have a family now.
00:04:07You can't just drop by and tell me what to do.
00:04:09You clearly need the help.
00:04:11Not from an overbearing, old, sad, crazy woman like you.
00:04:18Tom!
00:04:19That's too much.
00:04:23I'm sorry, Mom. I didn't mean to...
00:04:26So that's what you think of me?
00:04:29Chris, it's not like that.
00:04:32Take care of yourself, sweetheart.
00:04:34Mom, where are you going?
00:04:35Anywhere but here.
00:04:37It's raining outside. Please, just...
00:04:41I'm sorry.
00:04:53God damn it! You've got to be kidding me!
00:04:58God, I'm going to freeze out here.
00:05:12PHONE VIBRATES
00:05:16What do you want?
00:05:17Chris? It's me.
00:05:19What's wrong? Did someone upset you?
00:05:21Jerry! No, no, it's nothing.
00:05:25Nothing? Sound like nothing. What is that?
00:05:28Are you outside?
00:05:29My shitty car broke down in the middle of the woods.
00:05:33What? In this weather? In the middle of December?
00:05:36I'm going to pick you up.
00:05:37No, no, no. It's fine. It's no reason for you to freeze out here, too.
00:05:40Where are you?
00:05:41Somewhere off Lincoln Road, I think.
00:05:45I'll be right there. Don't move.
00:05:52Go to Lincoln Road, now.
00:05:54Yeah, but how are you going to explain your identity?
00:05:57What about me? An Uber driver's driver?
00:06:00Get out. I'll drive.
00:06:05HONKING
00:06:10HONKING
00:06:15Hey, baby. You need a ride?
00:06:21Oh, thank God.
00:06:23Hold on. Let me get the door for you.
00:06:41Part of you
00:06:45And it takes it out of me
00:06:49That I have to watch as we break imperfectly
00:07:00Where to, milady?
00:07:01Driver makes the call.
00:07:03But somewhere warm and frozen.
00:07:08My cabin is just down the road. We could stay there tonight.
00:07:13Yeah? Have a little honeymoon?
00:07:17Your wish is my command.
00:07:20All we need to do is take a warm shower, drink a shot of whiskey, and pray for a good night's sleep.
00:07:27Well, that's not all we need to do.
00:07:39MUSIC
00:07:57Chris, you didn't have to.
00:08:00Oh, I could help.
00:08:02I'm almost done. Have a seat.
00:08:05Uh-uh. I'll see.
00:08:07Okay.
00:08:36What are you looking at?
00:08:46Have a seat.
00:08:50You're incredible.
00:08:58This is the best breakfast I've had in years.
00:09:01Oh, I'm flattered.
00:09:04You mentioned us going to the auction today. Is that still happening?
00:09:07Yes. And actually, we should start getting ready soon.
00:09:12Um, do I look okay?
00:09:15Like a dream.
00:09:17But I do have a small present for you.
00:09:25Jerry!
00:09:28This is beautiful.
00:09:31Aw!
00:09:34You're so sweet.
00:09:54Oh, no, honey. Do you think I'm overdressed?
00:09:57Not at all. This is who you are. Don't be shy.
00:10:02Wow, wow, wow. Look at this old mummy. Somebody bought her new bandages.
00:10:11Wow, wow, wow. Look at this old mummy. Somebody bought her new bandages.
00:10:17Get lost, hag. Looks like someone forgot her dentures today.
00:10:21Don't be jealous, darling. They're new and permanent.
00:10:25Jealous? Don't make me laugh.
00:10:28You disgusting old bitch.
00:10:43What is this? Your new boy toy?
00:10:47Old and sick. Great taste. Come on, honey.
00:10:52What's her problem?
00:10:54Mia? She's been like that since high school.
00:10:57Always trying to be superior to everyone, but always falling short.
00:11:05Ladies and gentlemen, thank you so much for joining us.
00:11:08Welcome to this year's annual Christmas charity auction.
00:11:16Let's get started with our first precious item.

00:12:00$1,100 going once.
00:12:02Twice. No, you don't deserve it.
00:12:04$15. Dear, that Alpenstock's worth $1,000 at most.
00:12:09I know, but I need it back.
00:12:13$20. $20,000 from the lovely lady in the corner.
00:12:17$20,000 going once.
00:12:19What are you waiting for?
00:12:21Don't tell me you're waiting for your ex-husband to save you again.
00:12:24Oh, I'm sorry. I forgot. He's dead.
00:12:29Fine.
00:12:34It's over. Mia is going to be the next captain.
00:12:44$20,000 going twice.
00:12:47$30,000.
00:12:52$30,000 from the gentleman in the center of the room.
00:12:55This is none of your business.
00:12:57It is. She is not alone.

00:13:17$70,000.
00:13:19$70,000.
00:13:20Are you serious? You 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.
00:13:28Going once. Fair warning. Last call.
00:13:36$70,000. Sold.
00:13:39Sold. $70,000 from the Alvin class to the lovely couple in the center of the room.
00:13:44Thank you very much. Everybody, please.
00:13:46A round of applause for the lovely couple.
00:13:48Thank you. It means so much to me. It's so important.
00:13:51Oh, I'll pay you back later.
00:13:53It's my treat. I can't have my wife going home empty-handed.
00:13:56I'm flattered, but this is different.
00:14:01What's the matter?
00:14:03Let's go take a closer look.
00:14:09Ma'am, I needed to deliver this to you in person.
00:14:13It is the most expensive item I've ever sold.
00:14:17You're very lucky.
00:14:21Merry Christmas.
00:14:22Thank you, sir.
00:14:27Is it the one you were looking for, baby?
00:14:30You all right?
00:14:35Breathe. Slowly.
00:14:40What happened? Is something wrong with it?
00:14:44Welcome 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.
00:15:01I'm so sorry. Give me one minute.
00:15:04Yeah.
00:15:07Okay.
00:15:15Tom, look, look, look.
00:15:17The Apple stock that your dad bought me 20 years ago. I thought I lost it.
00:15:21I got a call from my friend at the auction.
00:15:23$70,000 for this? Are you losing your mind?
00:15:27No, Tom.
00:15:30You promised me that you would never touch climbing gear again.
00:15:33Tom, this is different.
00:15:35I don't fucking care.
00:15:37Please don't say that.
00:15:38They're dead.
00:15:40Dad and Emma are fucking dead.
00:15:44Maybe if you wouldn't have fucking supported their stupid hobby,
00:15:49I'd still be around.
00:15:50It was an accident. You can't blame it all on me.
00:15:53Is that not enough?
00:15:55What, are you going to take a new family up there to that death hike?
00:15:58Or are you going to wait until my daughter's born and then do the same to her?
00:16:02That was never my intention. Please don't say that.
00:16:07Look at me. You are never welcome in my home again.
00:16:11If you want to go die, go die alone.
00:16:15No, Tom. Tom, wait!
00:16:25Chris! Chris!
00:16:29Chris! Chris!
00:16:33Chris! Chris!
00:16:35Chris, are you okay? What happened?
00:16:40It's fine. Just family quarrel.
00:16:44If this keeps happening, I'm going to need to have a little talk with your family.
00:16:48Let me see that. Here, come here.
00:16:51It stings.
00:16:53How old's your daughter?
00:16:5522.
00:16:58Ever have any difficulties with her?
00:17:04I don't even know where to start.
00:17:10I'm so glad I have you.
00:17:12Me too.
00:17:15What do you say we forget about those damn kids and go have a drink?
00:17:21How about that?
00:17:23Yeah, okay. I know a place.
00:17:27But you gotta have a good back.
00:17:38That is incredible!
00:17:47Everything alright?
00:17:49Yeah, just feels like this isn't the first time I've been bowling.
00:17:55Have I bowled before?
00:17:57Um, I wouldn't know.
00:18:00Sometimes it's hard to recall memories, early ones especially.
00:18:07They all just kind of fall apart.
00:18:10Have you gotten it checked out?
00:18:12Yeah, doctor says I'm fine. It's just...
00:18:16I guess the old gray matter's just seeing what it used to be.
00:18:21Anyway...
00:18:25Wow!
00:18:31Chris, did you find yourself a pro?
00:18:33Great question!
00:18:35Jerry, this is my buddy Antoine. He owns this place.
00:18:38Antoine, this is Jerry, my husband.
00:18:41Your husband? Wow, that's interesting.
00:18:44I beg your pardon?
00:18:47I don't mean to be rude, but I haven't heard Chris say the word husband in like, what,
00:18:53two decades?
00:18:55Antoine! He was also in my high school gang.
00:18:58And if you can believe it, his mouth was even bigger back then.
00:19:02Well, welcome to my place.
00:19:04And there's only one rule here. Chris makes all the rules.
00:19:07Shut up, Antoine.
00:19:09You only say that when you're in trouble.
00:19:11And those two drinks on the house? Something must be really wrong.
00:19:15Well, you guys ever hear of this real estate conglomerate called G5?
00:19:20They want to buy this place.
00:19:22So, take the money, go to Florida, meet some babes.
00:19:26We get a new bowling alley. Win-win.
00:19:29I thought about it, but they're only offering half the going rate.
00:19:34Oh, hell with them then.
00:19:36Sorry, Antoine, you're stuck with us.
00:19:38Yeah, but unless they do something to force me...
00:19:47Who's the boss?
00:19:53Who's the boss?
00:19:55That would be me.
00:19:57Whoa, can I help you?
00:19:59I'm Griffin, boss of the Griffins.
00:20:02Open your register. We're taking your money.
00:20:05That's not gonna happen, man.
00:20:07Do or die, fat ass!
00:20:09Put that thing down.
00:20:11Shut your mouth, grandma. Mind your shit, or I'll blow him away.
00:20:14Robbery is one thing. Murder, you can't come back from that.
00:20:19We talk business, old bitch.
00:20:21And I have Jesus Christ in this fucking neighborhood.
00:20:24When did Jesus pack a .45?
00:20:30I'll shoot you, piece of shit. Nobody tells me what to do.
00:20:33Young man.
00:20:34Don't talk to me like a fucking teenager.
00:20:36This isn't the first time somebody's tried to rob this guy.
00:20:39Look, he may look soft, but he's not a coward.
00:20:42No means no.
00:20:44Shut the fuck up.
00:20:50Wait.
00:20:51Let's talk business, okay?
00:20:53Bullying an old man?
00:20:55That's not how a leader acts, is it?
00:20:57What are you talking about?
00:20:59Move on.
00:21:00Take your business elsewhere.
00:21:02Bullshit! What the fuck are you talking about?
00:21:04Griffin!
00:21:05The world doesn't work the way you think it does.
00:21:07It's much more complicated.
00:21:11I know Vlad.
00:21:13Vladimir Markov?
00:21:14You know who he is?
00:21:16I doubt you know who he is.
00:21:18He's on the other side of town.
00:21:19Like I said, the world's a complicated place.
00:21:22Now what would happen if Vladimir found out you're messing with some of his friends?
00:21:28How would that turn out for you?
00:21:35But don't worry.
00:21:36I got a better idea.
00:21:38One that doesn't end with you at the bottom of a river.
00:21:41What is it?
00:21:42The block between Mulberry Street and Lincoln has a ton of trust fund babies.
00:21:47Right?
00:21:48Deep pockets and lots of addictions.
00:21:51You know what to do.
00:21:53Thank you, sir.
00:21:54May we have your name?
00:21:55Fuck off.
00:21:57Now!
00:22:04I think that'll keep him busy for a while.
00:22:07So that's your secret?
00:22:09You're one of them?
00:22:10One of those bastards?
00:22:11No.
00:22:12Well, you just told them to go sell drugs.
00:22:15Are you crazy?
00:22:16Hang on.
00:22:17Wait, wait, wait.
00:22:18Don't be such a judgment so quickly.
00:22:19Do you know who lives on that block?
00:22:21Devin Jones and Alex Shaw.
00:22:24The mayor and the chief of police.
00:22:28Two of the most conservative guys in town.
00:22:30They'll just love this dude slinging drugs outside his window.
00:22:33Wait, you just did that?
00:22:35Jesus Christ.
00:22:37You really are a bad boy.
00:22:39And Officer Alex happens to be one of my old friends.
00:22:43So?
00:22:44So, you better tell them these crazies are heading towards their neighborhood.
00:22:54Chris.
00:22:55I like this guy.
00:22:57Where'd you find him?
00:22:58At a random coffee shop.
00:22:59It's a long story.
00:23:00I'll bet it's a good one.
00:23:01With me?
00:23:02Always.
00:23:04You know, I'm just...
00:23:05I'm just happy you found another good man.
00:23:08You know, um...
00:23:10He kind of reminds me of Jerry, your late husband.
00:23:20Okay.
00:23:21All right.
00:23:24He doesn't look anything like him.
00:23:26No, not his looks.
00:23:27You know, his vibe, how he carries himself.
00:23:31But a Jerry never really died in that accident.
00:23:39But a Jerry never really died in that accident.
00:23:43No!
00:23:48Jerry.
00:23:51Jerry is dead.
00:23:53What man?
00:23:55If he was alive, he would have come looking for me.
00:24:00Absolutely.
00:24:02Hey.
00:24:06Hey.
00:24:08You okay?
00:24:11I'm fine.
00:24:21You...
00:24:22You look different.
00:24:24I do?
00:24:25It must be all the excitement.
00:24:28Well, I am planning to have a Christmas dinner at my place.
00:24:33I want you to come meet all my family.
00:24:36Would you come?
00:24:37Of course.
00:24:39It would be my honor.
00:24:53Mom.
00:24:58Please.
00:24:59Come in.
00:25:00Please.
00:25:01Tom.
00:25:02I just want to quickly say...
00:25:04Mom, I'm so sorry about the other night.
00:25:08It's just, Tom's been working on a hard case and, you know, we have a daughter on the way and it's just been a lot of pressure.
00:25:14I'm really sorry what I said.
00:25:16It's okay.
00:25:18I made a lot of mistakes.
00:25:20And some of them...
00:25:23Some of them I can't fix.
00:25:26But...
00:25:27I didn't come here to talk about the past.
00:25:30I came to tell you...
00:25:32I'm...
00:25:33I'm married.
00:25:34You're married?
00:25:36That's wonderful, Mom.
00:25:38He's the sweetest man. I know you're going to love him.
00:25:40And I want you to meet him at Christmas dinner.
00:25:42We would love that.
00:25:43Dad would be so happy.
00:25:46I mean, he was always getting me out of trouble and...
00:25:48I'm sure he's out there looking down with a smile.
00:25:52Thinking someone has your back.
00:25:54Yeah, yeah.
00:25:56Of course.
00:25:58What is it? Something wrong?
00:26:00No, it's just...
00:26:02Tom, 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.
00:26:13He's in that picture right there behind you. I mean, I look at him every day.
00:26:20I hope so.
00:26:22Anyway, it's getting late and I have to go.
00:26:25But I will see you guys at Christmas dinner?
00:26:28Yeah, of course.
00:26:32Looking forward to it.
00:26:33Yeah, me too.
00:26:41Wine for the lady?
00:26:43This place is cute.
00:26:46Is it new?
00:26:47Just opened. My daughter recommended it.
00:26:52Well, she has great taste.
00:26:54You must have raised her well.
00:26:56For the last 20 years, it's been her and I against the world.
00:27:01She's my angel.
00:27:03Can I tell you something?
00:27:04Of course.
00:27:06Sometimes I wish I had a girl instead of a boy.
00:27:09Boys don't think.
00:27:11At least not with their brains.
00:27:15Come on, John. Finish it.
00:27:21Speak of the devil.
00:27:24Emma?
00:27:28Dad?
00:27:33Emma.
00:27:35John.
00:27:36Dad, do not look at him like that.
00:27:38Look at me.
00:27:40Go.
00:27:43Emma, I told you, stay away from this alcoholic.
00:27:46Can you just leave us alone?
00:27:48Okay, because my life and what I do with it is none of your business.
00:27:54You're free to date whoever you want, but not him.
00:27:57Remember what happened last time?
00:27:58John nearly burned our house down.
00:28:00That's my life and my business.
00:28:02Not to mention that he nearly got you killed.
00:28:04You know, where do you get off?
00:28:05Okay, because maybe if you knew the first thing about love,
00:28:11Mom wouldn't have ditched us 20 years ago.
00:28:1420 years ago?
00:28:18You don't know what you're talking about.
00:28:19I don't know what I'm talking about?
00:28:22If Mom didn't ditch us, then why is the only thing she left this old photo?
00:28:32Did you teach her this shit?
00:28:34Get out!
00:28:35I don't ever want to fucking see you again!
00:28:37Get out!
00:28:42If he leaves, then I'm going with him.
00:28:47Hold on, honey.
00:28:48Let's talk.
00:28:53And who the hell are you?
00:28:55Boys, give us some space.
00:28:58You didn't mean to do that, did you?
00:29:00Of course not!
00:29:02But how can I?
00:29:04You know, he doesn't trust me.
00:29:06Be strong.
00:29:08When's that last time your father mentioned?
00:29:14So my dad invited John over for Thanksgiving dinner.
00:29:19And he said,
00:29:20So my dad invited John over for Thanksgiving dinner.
00:29:27And John's a shy boy.
00:29:29He didn't really know what to do.
00:29:32So his friends started giving him some advice.
00:29:37And that's when everything went wrong.
00:29:43Tell me everything.
00:29:44Well, John doesn't drink much.
00:29:51His friends suggested that maybe a little liquor might help him loosen up.
00:29:56But key word, a little.
00:29:58John got so drunk.
00:30:01And he drove me home.
00:30:04And he crashed the car straight into my dad's car.
00:30:09Oh dear, I can only imagine how Jerry reacted to that.
00:30:13Well, whatever you're imagining is way, way worse.
00:30:18I mean, my dad's actually a really respectful man.
00:30:23You know?
00:30:24I mean, he didn't even say anything about the car or the garden.
00:30:28He even invited John to come in and sober up.
00:30:33But John was wasted.
00:30:36I mean, blind drunk.
00:30:39So he stumbles in and knocks over a candle and sets the curtains on fire.
00:30:47Oh dear, that's...
00:30:48Yeah, it's a nightmare is what it is.
00:30:51But you know, like, John's not like that.
00:30:55You know, John is gentle and smart and caring and...
00:31:01Yeah, but he's not a drunk, okay?
00:31:03It was just one mistake, one time, and my dad won't let it go.
00:31:06Gotcha, girl.
00:31:07It was just a misunderstanding.
00:31:09Thanks.
00:31:11I still don't understand, you know.
00:31:13Who are you?
00:31:14How do you know my dad?
00:31:19Baby, you look a bit drunk.
00:31:21You want a ride home?
00:31:23Go away, this is none of your business.
00:31:27Who the fuck are you, granny?
00:31:29Go home and fuck yourself.
00:31:30Don't make me repeat myself.
00:31:33Oh my god, are you alright?
00:31:35You're coming with me, huh?
00:31:37No.
00:31:41I'm sorry, ma'am, I should have jumped in sooner.
00:31:43I like you, kid.
00:31:45Get her home safe.
00:31:46I'll take care of her old man.
00:31:47Thank you very much.
00:31:49Emma, can you hear me?
00:31:50You ready to go home?
00:31:51Yeah.
00:31:52Let's go.
00:31:53Oh, Jerry and I are hosting a Christmas dinner.
00:31:55I would love for you to come.
00:31:56Do not be late.
00:32:01Oh, what a cute boy.
00:32:05Now, where is my husband?
00:32:14Hey.
00:32:16There's the old bitch.
00:32:22Hey.
00:32:25There's the old bitch.
00:32:26Oh, you never learn.
00:32:27Go home, man.
00:32:28Your boy toy beat me at the bar.
00:32:30And now you're gonna pay.
00:32:32Put that thing down.
00:32:33Fuck you, bitch.
00:32:34Give me your money.
00:32:35Take off your coat.
00:32:43Where did you get that thing?
00:32:45I keep it in my trunk.
00:32:46You know, to fix the car.
00:32:47I almost forgot you're a driver.
00:32:50Oh, what a hunk.
00:32:57Alright, let's get out of here.
00:32:59Come on.
00:33:04Fuck.
00:33:11You really know how to get yourself into trouble, don't you?
00:33:13Maybe I should start carrying a gun in my trunk.
00:33:16Shut up.
00:33:20Are John and Emma gonna be okay?
00:33:25John said you agreed to let him take Emma home.
00:33:28He's really not a bad kid.
00:33:29I think you should give him a second chance.
00:33:31You know he almost got Emma killed?
00:33:33Like a monster.
00:33:34I think that's just an excuse.
00:33:37You would have a problem with John no matter what.
00:33:39He could be a doctor, a lawyer, a senator.
00:33:42You'd still hate him.
00:33:44Because what you really can't stand
00:33:46is somebody taking your daughter away.
00:33:49You're probably right.
00:33:50Probably.
00:33:54You are.
00:33:57If John deserves my daughter,
00:33:59then I'll dance at their wedding.
00:34:04Can you still dance, old man?
00:34:08Let me show you.
00:34:25Paul, cancel all my plans for Christmas.
00:34:28All of your appointments.
00:34:30That's right.
00:34:31Boss, you're invited to the White House
00:34:33for dinner on Christmas.
00:34:34Something more important's come up.
00:34:36Tell me.
00:34:37What's more important than the president?
00:34:42Tom!
00:34:43You're early.
00:34:44I mean, today's meeting's too important to be late to,
00:34:46but I am curious.
00:34:48What's more important than the president?
00:34:50My wife and I are hosting a Christmas party.
00:34:52You should come.
00:34:53Oh, thanks, Mr. Smith,
00:34:54but my mother would be furious
00:34:57if I missed her Christmas party.
00:34:59That's all right.
00:35:00Say hi to your mother for me, okay?
00:35:02And tell her,
00:35:03I wish I had a son like you.
00:35:05Really?
00:35:08I wish the melons were ripe.
00:35:10That would be nice on the table.
00:35:12Ooh!
00:35:13This one's ready, I think.
00:35:14Yeah.
00:35:25Ooh!
00:35:26This one's ready, I think.
00:35:27Yeah.
00:35:29Mmm.
00:35:30Do you think we have enough for Christmas now?
00:35:31Yeah.
00:35:32Thank you so much for coming with me, sweetheart.
00:35:33It's the least I could do after the other day.
00:35:35Tom really went overboard.
00:35:37If I let every silly thing that boy said bother me,
00:35:41I would have been dead a hundred years ago.
00:35:44Let's see what else.
00:35:47Ah!
00:35:50Fill the caps now!
00:35:51Do it!
00:35:52Everybody down!
00:35:53I went for your hands!
00:35:56What should we do?
00:35:58The title transfer from Party A shall not...
00:36:11Mr. Smith, are you all right?
00:36:12I'm fine, I'm fine.
00:36:15I just had a weird feeling about something.
00:36:18Like a bad feeling?
00:36:20Not sure.
00:36:24What should we do?
00:36:25We're pretty close to the entrance.
00:36:26Just follow me when he walks away.
00:36:32Chris, I can't run.
00:36:34Don't move.
00:36:43911, what's the emergency, please?
00:36:47Yeah, there's a robber.
00:36:48The grocery store on West Maple.
00:36:51There's one guy with a gun.
00:36:54We need an ambulance.
00:37:00Help is on the way.
00:37:02I'm fine.
00:37:06Boss, Mr. Ford is waiting for you in the conference room.
00:37:10Right.
00:37:24Come on, come on, come on.
00:37:25Pick up.
00:37:26Damn it!
00:37:32Please, pick up.
00:37:33Come on!
00:37:34Damn it!
00:37:41Pick up!
00:37:42Come on!
00:37:43Damn!
00:37:50Pick up!
00:37:51Come on!
00:37:52Pick up!
00:37:53God damn it, please!
00:37:55Who's there?
00:37:58Come out!
00:37:59Don't make me ask again.
00:38:01My team has done an appraisal for the property.
00:38:03It looks nice.
00:38:04And I think...
00:38:11Mr. Smith, are you okay?
00:38:14Just feels a little bit dry in here.
00:38:18Turn down the A.C. a little.
00:38:20Yeah, of course.
00:38:23Why don't we all just take a break?
00:38:25I could use the fresh air too.
00:38:35Oh my God.
00:38:37Everything alright, Tom?
00:38:39I think something's wrong.
00:38:40My mom just called and she never calls me this late.
00:38:43And let alone on a weekday.
00:38:45My wife's with her.
00:38:46And...
00:38:48Calm down.
00:38:49I'm sure everything's fine.
00:38:50Everything's fine.
00:38:51Paul, can you check the news?
00:38:53Sure.
00:38:55Now.
00:38:56Well, it seems like a shooting is happening on West Maple Street.
00:38:59CMM live streaming.
00:39:15Are you okay?
00:39:16I think my arm just broke.
00:39:19Okay.
00:39:23Get up.
00:39:25Don't shoot.
00:39:29That bastard.
00:39:31Oh my God.
00:39:32Mr. Smith, I need to get there as fast as I can.
00:39:35I'm going with you.
00:39:37Get the car ready.
00:39:38Yes, sir.
00:39:40This country needs gun control.
00:39:42Let me get my weapon.
00:39:46Put the gun down.
00:39:47Get on your knees.
00:39:48Now.
00:39:49Okay.
00:39:52What do you want?
00:39:53You want money?
00:39:54You can have it.
00:39:56Please.
00:39:57My daughter's about to give birth.
00:39:59Please just let us go.
00:40:00We won't do anything.
00:40:01I promise.
00:40:02Please, please, please.
00:40:03You can have whatever you want.
00:40:04Just don't hurt us.
00:40:06Give me your phone, wallet, and purse.
00:40:08And get out.
00:40:09Don't tell anybody what happened here.
00:40:10Yes.
00:40:11Thank you so much.
00:40:12Okay.
00:40:13Of course.
00:40:17Police!
00:40:22Did you call the cops?
00:40:25Did you call the cops?
00:40:27No, no, no, no.
00:40:28Of course not.
00:40:29I didn't.
00:40:30Why would I?
00:40:37Why are they here?
00:40:38How could they know?
00:40:40I don't know.
00:40:41Maybe there's an alarm?
00:40:44Let me see your phone.
00:40:46Please.
00:40:47It's not too late to surrender, okay?
00:40:49You haven't done anything bad yet.
00:40:51My son, he's a really good lawyer.
00:40:54He could defend you.
00:40:56Bitch, I should kill you!
00:40:58They're gonna lock me up because of you!
00:41:01Say goodbye to your daughter and the baby.
00:41:02No!
00:41:04Don't you fucking dare!
00:41:08If you shoot us,
00:41:09there will be an arrest.
00:41:11There won't be a trial.
00:41:12The police will just kill you where you are!
00:41:14Well, if you didn't call the fucking cops,
00:41:15I'd be halfway out of town by now!
00:41:17It isn't too late to change your mind.
00:41:20Think of your family, right?
00:41:23What would they do if they knew you were a murderer?
00:41:25They'd be heartbroken if they knew their son was a murderer.
00:41:28Keep my family out of your mouth!
00:41:30I won't let those fucking cops catch me!
00:41:32I won't be in jail for the next 20 years
00:41:33and end up alone like you!
00:41:35Do not compare your cursed life with mine, okay?
00:41:40I'm not a failure.
00:41:43I'm not alone.
00:41:44And I'm not a certified talent like you are.
00:41:48Oh, God, if my husband was alive,
00:41:51he would shoot you right on the spot!
00:42:13Oh, thank God.
00:42:39I thought I was going to lose you.
00:42:44I won't miss.
00:42:55Oh, come on.
00:42:56It's not the first time I've been in danger.
00:43:01Jerry.
00:43:03Jerry Smith.
00:43:05Is that your name?
00:43:07Yes.
00:43:09Since I was born.
00:43:11Do you remember?
00:43:15Lisa!
00:43:17Oh, God, Lisa!
00:43:19Please wake up, Lisa!
00:43:29This reminds me of the day I had you 30 years ago.
00:43:33God, that hurt.
00:43:35Mom, this isn't helping.
00:43:37But we made it, didn't we?
00:43:39And so will Lisa.
00:43:41Hey, everything's going to be alright.
00:43:49Doctor, how's Lisa and my baby?
00:43:53Mother and daughter are both safe and healthy.
00:43:56At 12.05, December 25th,
00:44:00I'd say it's a Christmas miracle.
00:44:03However, Lisa did lose a lot of blood,
00:44:05and she's very weak.
00:44:06So, one of you needs to come with me.
00:44:11You go first.
00:44:12Yeah, I'm going to check on Jerry.
00:44:16Mom, there's something that I need to tell you about Mr. Smith.
00:44:21You know him?
00:44:22Yeah, actually, I know him.
00:44:25Are you coming or not?
00:44:26Oh, sorry.
00:44:27Go, we'll talk later.
00:44:37Jerry.
00:44:41Jerry.
00:44:43Why does he look so different?
00:44:46Like my old Jerry.
00:44:49Jerry.
00:44:51I'm awake.
00:44:54What time is it?
00:44:55Five past midnight.
00:44:57Gosh, that late?
00:45:00One second, I need to make a call.
00:45:03I kept somebody waiting all day.
00:45:06Go ahead.
00:45:11Merry Christmas, my hero.
00:45:14Don't be late for the party tomorrow.
00:45:17We have a lot to talk about.
00:45:24Hand the guy.
00:45:26I'll be there on time.
00:45:35Okay.
00:45:40One more kiss.
00:45:42Slowly this time.
00:45:44You nut.
00:46:06Lisa, come in.
00:46:14I cannot believe you're here.
00:46:16Why didn't you stay in the hospital?
00:46:18I wasn't going to miss your Christmas party.
00:46:20And neither was your new granddaughter.
00:46:22Oh, I'm so sorry.
00:46:24It's okay.
00:46:25It's okay.
00:46:26It's okay.
00:46:27It's okay.
00:46:28It's okay.
00:46:29It's okay.
00:46:30It's okay.
00:46:31It's okay.
00:46:32It's okay.
00:46:33It's okay.
00:46:34It's okay, daughter.
00:46:39What's her name?
00:46:41Chris.
00:46:43We named her after you, mom.
00:46:47I am honored.
00:46:50Dr. Ken, Lisa needs some rest, so can she take your room?
00:46:54Of course.
00:46:55We'll wake you up for dinner.
00:46:56That'd be great.
00:46:57Thanks.
00:47:04Mom, I need to tell you something.
00:47:09Um, it's about Mr. Schnitth.
00:47:14What about him?
00:47:16Don't tell me you don't like him.
00:47:18No, I think he's great, really.
00:47:21Um...
00:47:22Oh.
00:47:24Have a seat.
00:47:26Hey, Helen.
00:47:27How are you?
00:47:28Good, good.
00:47:29Are you coming?
00:47:31Um...
00:47:36Merry Christmas, Dad.
00:47:39Helen is not coming.
00:47:41Her husband heard his back last night.
00:47:42He won't even be able to move today.
00:47:44Well, I'm glad that Aunt Helen and Uncle Greg are still in love.
00:47:48Yeah, have you ever seen that couple not be together?
00:47:50Wait, back to the point.
00:47:52Mom.
00:47:53Oh.
00:47:54That thought.
00:48:13Merry Christmas.
00:48:14Merry Christmas, buddy.
00:48:16Ooh, look at all this.
00:48:18Watch out.
00:48:19Be careful now.
00:48:20It's my special mac and cheese.
00:48:21Come on.
00:48:22All right.
00:48:23Yeah, you look nice.
00:48:24Thanks.
00:48:25Coming through.
00:48:26Ah.
00:48:28Tom, my man.
00:48:31Haven't seen you around the bowling alley lately.
00:48:34I know.
00:48:35We really missed you.
00:48:36But me and Lisa have been busy.
00:48:39Ah, a little too busy for his Uncle Antoine.
00:48:42We just had a baby.
00:48:44What?
00:48:45Yeah.
00:48:46Oh, my God.
00:48:47Congratulations.
00:48:50Mom.
00:48:51Mom, can you hang on a second?
00:48:52Um, remember Antoine's mac and cheese?
00:48:54Amazing.
00:48:56I'm sure it's great, but Mom, please.
00:48:58There's something that I really need to talk to you.
00:49:00If you could just give me a moment to tell you.
00:49:02Mom is just a little busy right now.
00:49:04Why don't you, um, go watch some football with Antoine?
00:49:07But Mom.
00:49:19Hi, Chris.
00:49:20Dad, I mean, Jerry dropped us off.
00:49:23He's working.
00:49:24Oh, come in.
00:49:25Come in.
00:49:31Uh, homemade lamb chops.
00:49:32I made them myself.
00:49:34I didn't know you were such a chef.
00:49:35It's my favorite.
00:49:36Uh, I really appreciate you standing up for us the other night at the bar.
00:49:42Well, you can't expect a father to like someone who stole his daughter's heart.
00:49:45And you're lucky he only yelled at you.
00:49:49Dad.
00:49:50Dad.
00:49:51Dad.
00:49:52Dad.
00:50:20May I come in, darling?
00:50:24Is this Tom Cruise?
00:50:27Because, uh, I've been expecting Jerry.
00:50:36You're part of the family now.
00:50:39Don't let Emma down.
00:50:40Dad.
00:50:42I wouldn't dream of it.
00:50:45Follow me, boys and girls.
00:50:54Your sweater only looks good, bud.
00:50:57Jerry, my old friend.
00:51:00How are you?
00:51:01Very well.
00:51:02Now that we're finally all together.
00:51:05This is Antoine, my best friend.
00:51:08Hello.
00:51:10And this is Tom, my son.
00:51:13Uh, I believe some of you already know him.
00:51:16Great to see you again.
00:51:19I'm so glad that we're truly a family now.
00:51:24Nice to meet you again, Mr. Smith.
00:51:26I'm afraid there's many things that you have not told my mother.
00:51:32Tom.
00:51:33Mom.
00:51:35Did you know that your new husband is the richest man in the state?
00:51:39Hang on.
00:51:41I didn't mean to...
00:51:42Tom.
00:51:44Come with me.
00:52:03Could we just have one day of peace and quiet?
00:52:07One day.
00:52:09When you are trying to play some game.
00:52:12I just found out yesterday.
00:52:14I had to say something.
00:52:15Mom, I...
00:52:17I know you, okay?
00:52:19You wouldn't be with him if you knew about his past.
00:52:21You would think he's way out of our league.
00:52:24Did you know...
00:52:26He's supposed to be having dinner with the President.
00:52:29The President of the United States.
00:52:32I mean, the press is already wondering why he's missing and where he is.
00:52:36If they find out that you two are married...
00:52:40You're going to have journalists sticking their noses in every aspect of your life.
00:52:44And they're going to take away your freedom.
00:52:47Wow, you really are a lawyer.
00:52:51Mom.
00:52:53Mom, this isn't a joke.
00:52:55Do you really want to be a fixture in the tabloids?
00:52:57Because you will.
00:52:58Tom.
00:53:00What?
00:53:01I mean, beyond everything I just said, have you thought about it?
00:53:04Have you thought about why he's keeping this from you?
00:53:07Why he's hiding it?
00:53:09That man doesn't trust you.
00:53:11I do trust your mom.
00:53:19I trust her with all my heart.
00:53:22It's just that everything happened too fast.
00:53:25I couldn't find the right time.
00:53:27Bullshit.
00:53:29Tell her, right now, everything.
00:53:31Mr. Overdriver.
00:53:33Mr. Smith.
00:53:35I've worked for you for many years and I trust you as a boss and a father,
00:53:38but I can't sit by and let you lie to my mother.
00:53:41I swear, I just...
00:53:43Tom.
00:53:46I appreciate you telling me.
00:53:48You should have waited one day, just one more day, so I could have my Christmas.
00:54:00What's the use of marriage
00:54:02if nothing's ever shared?
00:54:05You said that before, didn't you?
00:54:07Grace, I'm really sorry.
00:54:09I...
00:54:11I'm just...
00:54:12I never meant for any of this to happen.
00:54:15I was trying to find the best moment.
00:54:17I need some time.
00:54:21And some space.
00:54:28God.
00:54:30This is bad.
00:54:32Tom shouldn't have brought that up at Christmas.
00:54:35I mean, if someone was lying to my mom, I'd probably do the same thing.
00:54:39My mom, not this time.
00:54:45I'm sorry, guys. I ruined Christmas.
00:54:57Dad, I'm sorry. I...
00:55:00I really screwed up.
00:55:07Where did that photo come from?
00:55:11It's a family photo
00:55:13from when I was younger.
00:55:16That's your family?
00:55:20That's your father,
00:55:23your mother, your sister,
00:55:26and yourself?
00:55:28I don't understand. What's the big deal?
00:55:32I...
00:55:45Don't push me away.
00:55:48Jesus.
00:55:51I've searched for 20 years to find someone like you.
00:55:55You make me feel young.
00:55:57And alive.
00:56:02You have to understand,
00:56:04ever since the tragedy,
00:56:06I've only lived for my daughter.
00:56:09She's the only thing I have left.
00:56:13Now she has John.
00:56:15My job is done.
00:56:17She's safe.
00:56:19And loved.
00:56:21But I have no one.
00:56:24No one except...
00:56:26You.
00:56:29Please, Chris.
00:56:32Please.
00:56:34I don't understand.
00:56:38Maybe it's time you tell me about the tragedy.
00:56:42What happened 20 years ago?
00:56:44Where did you get this?
00:56:48This is the last thing that my mother left me.
00:56:53She died in a landslide 20 years ago.
00:56:56A landslide where?
00:56:58Maple.
00:56:59The Barren Mountain?
00:57:0140 miles north of Anchorage, Alaska?
00:57:05Yeah.
00:57:06Yeah, that's exactly where Dad said that she...
00:57:09Dad?
00:57:11Mr. Smith?
00:57:14No, no, there's no way.
00:57:16He looks completely different.
00:57:18The landslide nearly crushed his skull.
00:57:22The doctors had to give him a whole new face.
00:57:28Jesus Christ.
00:57:31He's my dad?
00:57:33Yeah.
00:57:4420 years ago, my family went up to a barren mountain.
00:57:49Oh, God.
00:57:51Like today's not crazy enough.
00:57:54Jesus.
00:57:55I'm gonna kill whoever is at the door.
00:57:58Mom.
00:57:59Mom, wait a second.
00:58:01Do you remember our family photo on the wall?
00:58:03Yeah, of course. What about it?
00:58:04Where am I?
00:58:05Oh my gosh, just look at this.
00:58:08Do you recognize that photo?
00:58:11Why is this photo water damaged?
00:58:15Wait, is that...
00:58:22Oh, it can't be.
00:58:34What is this?
00:58:35What do you want?
00:58:39This is Christmas. What is your problem?
00:58:41What?
00:58:42This is your Christmas gift.
00:58:44What are you talking about?
00:58:51You?
00:58:53How did you get away?
00:58:58You ruined my entire life, and this is what you get?
00:59:01Jerry!
00:59:05Oh my God.
00:59:08Mom, are you okay?
00:59:11The police are on their way, asshole.
00:59:13This is all her fault.
00:59:15I'm not going to try to rob a bowling alley.
00:59:17I'm gonna kill all y'all.
00:59:20Get some rope.
00:59:21I'm gonna fuck you all.
00:59:25Shut the fuck up.
00:59:29Oh my God, John, you're my hero.
00:59:32You're my hero.
00:59:36I think that was enough craziness for one day.
00:59:39Let's get this asshole out of here.
00:59:41Just wait here.
00:59:42John, I got this.
00:59:44Baby, thanks a lot for playing.
00:59:46Let's go.
00:59:55Well, looks like someone made the naughty list this year.
01:00:03What happened to you?
01:00:06Why do you look so different?
01:00:08Why didn't you come back to me?
01:00:12What's this all about?
01:00:17Is she...
01:00:21Is she...
01:00:23Yes, Pa.
01:00:25That's Mom.
01:00:27And this is Jerry.
01:00:31And this is Tom.
01:00:35I'm sorry I didn't recognize you before.
01:00:41You're my son.
01:00:44Tony, this is real.
01:00:46Please, go.
01:00:49Are you my wife?
01:00:53The Chris that I married?
01:00:56Did you hike Anchorage 20 years ago?
01:01:00Mount Maple?
01:01:03I guess so.
01:01:06My memory...
01:01:08The accident...
01:01:10I can't remember who I was.
01:01:14My backpack, my ID...
01:01:17All gone.
01:01:21The only thing we have left is...
01:01:26And her.
01:01:31My God, how did you survive?
01:01:36A hunter found us in the woods.
01:01:39Injured and cold, but alive.
01:01:44I thought...
01:01:46I thought you...
01:01:48And Tom...
01:01:51I thought you would...
01:01:55I thought you were dead too.
01:02:07Mom and Dad!
01:02:12Son, get in here. Group hug, come on.
01:02:21You know...
01:02:23I dreamed of this day...
01:02:26A million times over, but...
01:02:29I never thought it would actually happen for real.
01:02:35It's a Christmas miracle.
01:02:40Good morning.
01:02:42Would you like some breakfast?
01:02:45Can't start.
01:02:48Here, I'll give you some.
01:02:54Would you like a glass of wine?
01:02:57Darling...
01:02:59Are you staying tonight?
01:03:01Of course. I've waited over 20 years for this.
01:03:12Thank you all for...
01:03:15Joining our family here today.
01:03:18It's been a long road.
01:03:21Strange journey.
01:03:24But there is no place I'd rather be.
01:03:27After 20 years apart...
01:03:30Fate has given us the best Christmas gift of all.
01:03:34Each other.
01:03:36Merry Christmas!
01:03:38Merry Christmas!
