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.
00:00:10I have a son and a grandmother on the way.
00:00:1450?
00:00:15Girl, are you that damn old?
00:00:18You said you're 52 on the dating app and you're definitely 60.
00:00:21Boys will be boys, even in their 60s.
00:00:26I started with London, then Paris, and then Rome, then all the way to Beijing, the three
00:00:31of us.
00:00:32Three of us?
00:00:33You, me, and my wife, of course.
00:00:35Your wife?
00:00:36But this is a date.
00:00:37Hmm.
00:00:38My, oh my, you are absolutely stunning.
00:00:41What do you say we get together and have a baby before we get too old, shall we?
00:00:45God, I'd like to see you try.
00:00:48Good, because I always like to record.
00:00:53Excuse me, boss.
00:00:55It's time for your date.
00:00:56Should I leave this here?
00:00:57Or...
00:00:58Where is this from?
00:00:59Well, department store, cheap as it gets.
00:01:00And the car?
00:01:01Once used.
00:01:02Excellent.
00:01:03Is there anything else you need?
00:01:06Just keep this quiet.
00:01:07Yes, boss.
00:01:08No one will ever find out that the chairman of Peak Climbers is going on a date as an
00:01:12ordinary Uber driver.
00:01:18Hi, I'm Jerry.
00:01:21What's with the glasses, four eyes?
00:01:23Are you blind?
00:01:24Who the hell wants to be with a sick old man?
00:01:28I'll need 60% of your wages each month.
00:01:3130% will cover our daily expenses.
00:01:3430% will go to the bank to cover my mortgage.
00:01:38Oh, how generous.
00:01:40You'll have me 40%.
00:01:41No, that 40% is going straight to my account.
00:01:46I'm down in an hour.
00:01:48We'll stand if you want overnight.
00:01:50Uh, I'm sorry.
00:01:51I'm actually looking for someone to marry.
00:01:54Half a million a month.
00:01:55Can you get herself one?
00:02:00I think so.
00:02:16Hi, I'm Jerry.
00:02:19Chris.
00:02:20Chris Parker.
00:02:21Let's get married.
00:02:24That's your pitch?
00:02:26I'm a very straightforward man.
00:02:28Lucky you.
00:02:31That is exactly my type.
00:02:46Oh, no, no, no.
00:02:47I've got it.
00:02:48Peanut.
00:02:49If you like peanut.
00:02:52Mom, 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.
00:03:00Still 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.
00:03:13It's Emma.
00:03:15You can't name her that.
00:03:17Emma'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 that 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 and not try to replace...
00:03:41Mom!
00:03:42This is my house.
00:03:44I can't have you come in here and try to disrespect that.
00:03:48Sure.
00:03:49You'll get your respect when your daughter is old enough to talk, son.
00:03:54I can't imagine how Dad didn't get driven crazy by you.
00:04:00Don't you ever talk about me and your father like that.
00:04:04I'm a grown man.
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.
00:04:13Of an overbearing, old, sad, crazy woman like you.
00:04:19Tom!
00:04:20That's too much.
00:04:24I'm sorry, Mom.
00:04:25I didn't mean to...
00:04:28So that's what you think of me?
00:04:30Chris, it's not like that.
00:04:33Take care of yourself, sweetheart.
00:04:35Mom, where are you going?
00:04:37Anywhere but here.
00:04:38It's raining outside.
00:04:39Please, just...
00:04:43Goddamn it!
00:04:44You've got to be kidding me!
00:04:48God, I'm going to freeze out here.
00:04:50Oh!
00:04:52Goddamn it!
00:04:54You've got to be kidding me!
00:04:58God, I'm going to freeze out here.
00:05:17What do you want?
00:05:18Chris?
00:05:19It's me.
00:05:20What's wrong? Did someone upset you?
00:05:22Sherry! No, no, it's nothing.
00:05:26It sounded like nothing. What is it?
00:05:29Are you outside?
00:05:30My shitty car broke down in the middle of the woods.
00:05:34What? In this weather? In the middle of December? I'm going to pick you up.
00:05:38No, no, no, it's fine. It's no reason for you to freeze out here, too.
00:05:41Where are you?
00:05:42Somewhere off Lincoln Road, I think.
00:05:46I'll be right there. Don't move.
00:05:49Go to Lincoln Road, now.
00:05:55Yeah, but how are you going to explain your identity?
00:05:58What about me, an Uber driver's driver?
00:06:01Get out. I'll drive.
00:06:15Hey, baby. You need a ride?
00:06:19Oh, thank God.
00:06:22Hold on. Let me get the door for you.
00:06:49Where to, milady?
00:07:02Driver makes the call. But somewhere warm and frozen.
00:07:08My cabin is just down the road. We could stay there tonight.
00:07:14Yeah. Have a little honeymoon?
00:07:18Your wish is my command.
00:07:21All we need to do is take a warm shower, drink a shot of whiskey, and pray for a good night's sleep.
00:07:28Well, that's not all we need to do.
00:07:45Chris, you didn't have to. Oh, I could help.
00:07:51I'm almost done. Have a seat.
00:07:54I can...
00:07:55Uh-uh, uh-uh.
00:07:56Okay, okay, okay.
00:08:00You didn't have to. Oh, I could help.
00:08:03I'm almost done. Have a seat.
00:08:06I can...
00:08:07Uh-uh, uh-uh.
00:08:08Have a seat.
00:08:09Okay, okay.
00:08:29What are you looking at?
00:08:48Have a seat.
00:08:52You're incredible.
00:08:59Mm, this is the best breakfast I've had in years.
00:09:02Aw, I'm flattered.
00:09:05Now, you mentioned us going to the auction today. Is that still happening?
00:09:08Yes. And actually, uh, we should start getting ready soon.
00:09:13Um, do I look okay?
00:09:16Like a dream.
00:09:18But I do have a small present for you.
00:09:27Jerry?
00:09:30This is beautiful.
00:09:32Aw.
00:09:35You're so sweet.
00:09:55Oh, no, honey. Oh, do you think I'm overdressed?
00:09:58Not at all.
00:09:59This is who you are. Don't be shy.
00:10:03Wow, wow, wow.
00:10:05Look at this old mummy.
00:10:07Somebody bought her new bandages.
00:10:18Get lost, hag.
00:10:20Looks like someone forgot her dentures today.
00:10:22Don't be jealous, darling.
00:10:24They're new and permanent.
00:10:26Jealous? Don't make me laugh.
00:10:29You disgusting old bitch.
00:10:44What is this, your new boy toy?
00:10:48Old and sick.
00:10:50Great taste.
00:10:51Come on, honey.
00:10:54What's her problem?
00:10:55Mia?
00:10:56She's been like that since high school.
00:10:58Always trying to be superior to everyone.
00:11:01But always falling short.
00:11:06Ladies and gentlemen, thank you so much for joining us.
00:11:08Welcome to this year's annual Christmas charity auction.
00:11:17Let's get started with our first precious item.

00:12:03Twice.
00:12:04No, you don't deserve it.
00:12:05$15.
00:12:07Dear, that alphanstock's worth $1,000 at most.
00:12:10I know, but I need it back.

00:12:15$20,000 from the lovely lady in the corner.
00:12:18$20,000 going once.
00:12:20What are you waiting for?
00:12:22Don't tell me you're waiting for your ex-husband to save you again.
00:12:25Oh, I'm sorry, I forgot.
00:12:28He is dead.
00:12:30Fine.
00:12:35It's over.
00:12:37Mia is going to be the next captain.
00:12:48$20,000 going twice.
00:12:52$30,000.
00:12:55$30,000 from the gentleman in the center of the room.
00:12:59This is none of your business.
00:13:01It is.
00:13:03She is not alone.
00:13:04Oh, gross.
00:13:06$32.
00:13:07Thank you, $32.
00:13:08You're welcome.

00:13:17Do I hear $35?
00:13:18$70,000.
00:13:20$70,000.
00:13:21Are you serious?
00:13:22You can't just say any random number.
00:13:25You actually have to be able to pay for it.
00:13:27I can do this all day.
00:13:29Doing one.
00:13:30Fair warning, last call.
00:13:37$70,000 sold.
00:13:41$70,000 from the alpaca to the lovely couple in the center of the room.
00:13:45Thank you very much.
00:13:46Everybody, please.
00:13:47A round of applause for the lovely couple.
00:13:50This means so much to me.
00:13:51It's so important.
00:13:52Oh, I'll pay you back later.
00:13:53It's my treat.
00:13:55I can't have my wife going home empty handed.
00:13:57I'm flattered.
00:13:58But this is different.
00:14:02What's the matter?
00:14:04Let's go take a closer look.
00:14:10Ma'am, I needed to deliver this to you in person.
00:14:14It is the most expensive item I've ever sold.
00:14:19You're very lucky.
00:14:22Merry Christmas.
00:14:23Thank you, sir.
00:14:28Is it the one you were looking for, baby?
00:14:32You all right?
00:14:36Breathe.
00:14:38Slowly.
00:14:43What happened?
00:14:44Is something wrong with it?
00:14:46Welcome back.
00:14:48This belonged to you?
00:14:50My late husband bought this for me many years ago.
00:14:54It's my most precious belonging.
00:14:58I thought I'd never see it again.
00:15:03I'm so sorry.
00:15:04Give me one minute.
00:15:06Ma'am.
00:15:10Okay.
00:15:17Tom, look, look, look.
00:15:19The Alpenstock 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?
00:15:27Are you losing your mind?
00:15:28No, Tom.
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!
00:15:38Please don't say that.
00:15:39They're dead!
00:15:41Dad and Emma are fucking dead!
00:15:45Maybe if you wouldn't have fucking supported their stupid hobby,
00:15:50they'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?
00:15:56What, are 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.
00:16:12If 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, come here.
00:16:53It stings.
00:16:55How old's your daughter?
00:16:57Twenty-two.
00:17:01Have you ever had any difficulties with her?
00:17:06I don't even know where to start.
00:17:12I'm so glad I have you.
00:17:15Me too.
00:17:17What do you say we forget about those damn kids and go have a drink?
00:17:23How about that?
00:17:25Yeah, okay.
00:17:28You gotta have a good back.
00:17:39That is incredible!
00:17:48Everything alright?
00:17:50Yeah, just feels like this isn't the first time I've been bowling.
00:17:56Have I bowled before?
00:17:58Um, I wouldn't know.
00:18:01Sometimes it's hard to recall memories, early ones especially.
00:18:08They all just kind of fall apart.
00:18:11Have you gotten it checked out?
00:18:13Yeah, the doctor says I'm fine, it's just...
00:18:17I guess the old gray matters are seeing what it used to be.
00:18:22Anyway...
00:18:32Chris, did you find yourself a pro?
00:18:34Great question!
00:18:36Jerry, this is my buddy Antoine, he owns this place.
00:18:39Antoine, this is Jerry, my husband.
00:18:42Your husband? Wow, that's interesting.
00:18:45I beg your pardon?
00:18:48I don't mean to be rude, but I haven't heard Chris say the word husband in like, what, two decades?
00:18:56Antoine! He was also in my high school gang.
00:18:59And if you can believe it, his mouth was even bigger back then.
00:19:03Well, welcome to my place. And there's only one rule here, Chris makes all the rules.
00:19:08Shut up, Antoine. You only say that when you're in trouble.
00:19:12And those two drinks on the house? Something must be really wrong.
00:19:16Well, did you guys ever hear of this real estate conglomerate called G5?
00:19:21They want to buy this place.
00:19:23So, take the money, go to Florida, meet some babes, we get a new bowling alley, win-win.
00:19:30I thought about it, but they're only offering half the going rate.
00:19:36Oh, hell with them then.
00:19:37Sorry, Antoine, you're stuck with us.
00:19:39Yeah, but unless they do something to force me...
00:19:47Who's the boss?
00:19:54Who's the boss?
00:19:56That would be me.
00:19:58Whoa, can I help you?
00:20:00I'm Griffin, boss of the Griffins.
00:20:03Open your register. We're taking your money.
00:20:06That's not going to happen.
00:20:08Do or die, fat ass!
00:20:10Put that thing down.
00:20:13Shut your mouth, grandma. Mind your shit, or I'll blow him away.
00:20:17Robbery is one thing. Murder, you can't come back from that.
00:20:21We talk business, old bitch. And I have Jesus Christ in this fucking neighborhood.
00:20:26When did Jesus pack a .45?
00:20:32I'll shoot you, piece of shit. Nobody tells me what to do.
00:20:35Young man.
00:20:36Don't talk to me like a fucking teenager.
00:20:38The 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. Let's talk business, okay?
00:20:55Bullying an old man? That's not how a leader acts, is it?
00:20:59What are you talking about?
00:21:01Move on. Take your business elsewhere.
00:21:04Bullshit! What the fuck are you talking about?
00:21:06The world doesn't work the way you think it does. It's much more complicated.
00:21:13I know Vlad. Vladimir Markov. You know who he is?
00:21:17I doubt you know who he is. He runs the other side of town.
00:21:20Like I said, the world's a complicated place.
00:21:24Now what would happen if Vladimir found out you're messing with some of his friends?
00:21:30How would that turn out for you?
00:21:37But don't worry. I got a better idea.
00:21:40One that doesn't end with you at the bottom of a river.
00:21:43What is it?
00:21:44The block between Mulberry Street and Lincoln has a ton of trust fund babies, right?
00:21:50Deep pockets and lots of addictions. You know what to do.
00:21:54Thank you, sir. Maybe we have your name?
00:21:57Fuck off.
00:21:58Now!
00:22:06I think that'll keep him busy for a while.
00:22:09So that's your secret? You're one of them?
00:22:11One of those bastards? No.
00:22:14Well, you just told them to go sell drugs. Are you crazy?
00:22:18Hang on. Wait, wait, wait. Don't be such a judgment so quickly.
00:22:21Do you know who lives on that block?
00:22:24Devin Jones and Alex Shaw, the mayor and the chief of police.
00:22:30Two of the most conservative guys in town.
00:22:32They'll just love this dude slinging drugs outside his window.
00:22:35Wait, you just did that? Jesus Christ, you really are a bad boy.
00:22:41And Officer Alex happens to be one of my old friends, so...
00:22:45So you better tell them these crazies are heading towards their neighborhood.
00:22:55Chris, I like this guy. Where'd you find him?
00:22:59Where'd you find him?
00:23:00At a random coffee shop. It's a long story.
00:23:02I'll bet it's a good one.
00:23:03With me? Always.
00:23:06You know, I'm just... I'm just happy you found another good man.
00:23:10You know, um...
00:23:13He kind of reminds me of Jerry, your late husband.
00:23:23Okay. All right.
00:23:26He doesn't look anything like you.
00:23:28No, not his looks. You know, his vibe, how he carries himself.
00:23:34But a Jerry never really died in that accident.
00:23:41But a Jerry never really died in that accident.
00:23:45No!
00:23:50Jerry.
00:23:53Jerry is dead.
00:23:55My bad.
00:23:57If he was alive, he would have come looking for me.
00:24:01Absolutely.
00:24:08Hey.
00:24:10You okay?
00:24:13I'm fine.
00:24:24You... you look different.
00:24:26I do?
00:24:28It must be all the excitement.
00:24:31Well, 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.
00:24:55Mom.
00:24:59Please, come in. Please.
00:25:03Tom, I just want to quickly say...
00:25:06Mom, I'm so sorry about the other night.
00:25:10It's just, Tom's been working on a heart 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...
00:25:25Some of them I can't fix.
00:25:28But, I 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?
00:25:38Uh, that's wonderful, Mom.
00:25:40He's the sweetest man. I 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.
00:25:48I mean, he was always getting you out of trouble, and I'm sure he's out there looking down with a smile.
00:25:54Thinking someone has your back.
00:25:56Yeah, yeah.
00:25:58Of course.
00:26:00What is it? Something wrong?
00:26:02No, it's just...
00:26:04Tom, after all these years, if you ever saw your father again, do you think you'd recognize him?
00:26:13Yeah, of course I would.
00:26:15He's in that picture right there behind you. I mean, I look at him every day.
00:26:22I hope so.
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.
00:26:35Looking forward to it.
00:26:44Wine for the lady?
00:26:46This place is cute.
00:26:48Is it new?
00:26:50Just opened. My daughter recommended it.
00:26:54Well, 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.
00:27:03She's my angel.
00:27:05Can I tell you something?
00:27:06Of course.
00:27:08Sometimes I wish I had a girl instead of a boy.
00:27:11Boys don't think.
00:27:13At least not with their brains.
00:27:18Come on, John. Finish it.
00:27:24Speaking of them...
00:27:26Emma?
00:27:30Dad?
00:27:33Emma?
00:27:35John?
00:27:37Dad, do not look at him like that.
00:27:39Look at me.
00:27:41Go!
00:27:43Emma, I told you.
00:27:45Stay away from this alcoholic.
00:27:47Can you just leave us alone?
00:27:49Okay, because my life and what I do with it is none of your business.
00:27:55You're free to date whoever you want, but not him.
00:27:58Remember what happened last time?
00:28:00John nearly burned our house down.
00:28:02That'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,
00:28:13Mom wouldn't have ditched us 20 years ago.
00:28:19You don't know what you're talking about.
00:28:21What I'm talking about?
00:28:23Huh. If Mom didn't ditch us,
00:28:25then why is the only thing she left this old photo?
00:28:29Hmm?
00:28:33You teach her this shit?
00:28:35Get out!
00:28:37I don't ever want to fucking see you again.
00:28:44If he leaves, then I'm going with him.
00:28:48Hold on, honey.
00:28:50Let's talk.
00:28:54And who the hell are you?
00:28:56Uh, boys, give us some space.
00:29:08You didn't mean to do that, did you?
00:29:10Of course not.
00:29:12But how can I? You know, he doesn't trust me.
00:29:16Be strong.
00:29:18What's that last time your father mentioned?
00:29:22So my dad invited John over for Thanksgiving dinner, right?
00:29:28And John's a shy boy.
00:29:30He didn't really know what to do.
00:29:33So his friends started giving him some advice,
00:29:38and that's when everything went wrong.
00:29:43Tell me everything.
00:29:46Well, John doesn't drink much.
00:29:48His friends suggested that maybe a little liquor
00:29:51might help him loosen up,
00:29:53but key word, a little.
00:29:55John got so drunk,
00:29:58and he drove me home
00:30:01and crashed the car straight into my dad's car.
00:30:06Oh dear, I can only imagine how Jerry reacted to that.
00:30:10Well, whatever you're imagining is way, way worse.
00:30:15I mean, my dad's actually a really, like, respectful man, you know?
00:30:20I mean, he didn't even say anything about the car or the garden.
00:30:24He just, he even invited John to come in and sober up.
00:30:29But John was, like, wasted.
00:30:33I mean, like, blind.
00:30:35But John was, like, wasted.
00:30:38I mean, like, blind drunk.
00:30:41So he stumbles in and knocks over a candle
00:30:46and sets the curtains on fire.
00:30:49Oh dear, that's...
00:30:50Yeah, it's a nightmare, is what it is.
00:30:53But, you know, like, John's not like that.
00:30:57You know, John is gentle and smart and caring and...
00:31:02Yeah, but he's not a drunk, okay?
00:31:04It was just one mistake, one time, and my dad won't let it go.
00:31:07Gotcha, girl.
00:31:08It was just a misunderstanding.
00:31:10Thanks.
00:31:12I still don't understand, you know.
00:31:14Who are you?
00:31:16How do you know my dad?
00:31:20Baby, you look a bit drunk.
00:31:22Want a ride home?
00:31:24Uh, go away.
00:31:25This is none of your business.
00:31:28Who the fuck are you, granny?
00:31:30Go home and fuck yourself.
00:31:31Don't make me repeat myself.
00:31:34Oh my god, are you alright?
00:31:36You're coming with me, huh?
00:31:38No.
00:31:42I'm sorry, ma'am, I should have jumped in sooner.
00:31:44I like you, kid.
00:31:46Get her home safe.
00:31:47I'll take care of her old man.
00:31:48Thank you very much.
00:31:49Emma, 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.
00:31:56I would love for you to come.
00:31:58Do not be late.
00:32:02Oh, what a cute boy.
00:32:06Now, where is my husband?
00:32:15Hey!
00:32:17There's the old bitch.
00:32:23Hey!
00:32:26There's the old bitch.
00:32:28Oh, you never learn.
00:32:29Go home, man.
00:32:30Your boy toy beat me at the bar.
00:32:32And now you're gonna pay.
00:32:34Put that thing down.
00:32:35Fuck you, bitch.
00:32:36Give me your money.
00:32:37Take off your coat.
00:32:42Oh my god.
00:32:45Where did you get that thing?
00:32:46I keep it in my trunk.
00:32:47You know, to fix the car.
00:32:49I almost forgot you're a driver.
00:32:52Oh, what a hunk.
00:32:56Oh.
00:32:58All right, let's get out of here.
00:33:00Come on.
00:33:12You really know how to get yourself into trouble, don't you?
00:33:15Maybe I should start carrying a gun in my trunk.
00:33:17Shut up.
00:33:21I heard John and Emma are gonna be okay.
00:33:24Hmm.
00:33:26John said you agreed to let him take Emma home.
00:33:29He's really not a bad kid.
00:33:30I think you should give him a second chance.
00:33:32You know he almost got Emma killed?
00:33:34He was like a monster.
00:33:35I think that's just an excuse.
00:33:38You 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.
00:33:45Because what you really can't stand
00:33:48is somebody taking your daughter away.
00:33:50No, you're probably right.
00:33:51Oh, probably.
00:33:55You are.
00:33:58If John deserves my daughter,
00:34:00then I'll dance at their wedding.
00:34:05Can you still dance, old man?
00:34:09Let me show you.
00:34:21You didn't go.
00:34:27Paul, 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!
00:34:45You'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.
00:35:14Ooh!
00:35:15This one's ready, I think.
00:35:16Yeah.
00:35:19Do you think we have enough for Christmas now?
00:35:21Yeah.
00:35:22Thank you so much for coming with me, sweetheart.
00:35:24It's the least I could do after the other day.
00:35:26Tom really went overboard.
00:35:28If I let every silly thing that boy said bother me,
00:35:31I would have been dead a hundred years ago.
00:35:34Let's see what else.
00:35:37I'm sorry.
00:35:38I'm sorry.
00:35:39I'm sorry.
00:35:40I'm sorry.
00:35:41I'm sorry.
00:35:42I'm sorry.
00:35:43I'm sorry.
00:35:44I'm sorry.
00:35:45I'm sorry.
00:35:46I'm sorry.
00:35:48Aah!
00:35:51Fill the can!
00:35:52Now!
00:35:53Do it!
00:35:54Everybody down.
00:35:55The wind's in your hands!
00:35:57What should we do?
00:36:00The Title Transfer from Party A shall not.
00:36:12Mr. Smith, are you all right?
00:36:14I'm fine.
00:36:15I'm fine.
00:36:16It said a weird feeling about something.
00:36:20Like a bad feeling?
00:36:22Not sure.
00:36:24What should we do?
00:36:26We're pretty close to the entrance.
00:36:28Just follow me when he walks away.
00:36:34Chris, I can't run.
00:36:36Don't move.
00:36:46Emergency police.
00:36:48Yeah, there's a robber.
00:36:50The grocery store on West Maple.
00:36:52There's one guy with a gun.
00:36:56We need an ambulance.
00:37:02Help is on the way.
00:37:04Fine.
00:37:08Boss, Mr. Ford is waiting for you in the conference room.
00:37:12Right.
00:37:16Come on.
00:37:36Come on.
00:37:38Damn it.
00:37:40What the hell?
00:37:44Please pick up. Come on.
00:37:46Damn it.
00:37:54Pick up. God damn it. Please.
00:37:56Who's there?
00:38:00Come out. Don't make me ask again.
00:38:02My team has done an appraisal for the property.
00:38:04It looks nice.
00:38:06And I think...
00:38:10Oh.
00:38:12Mr. Smith, are you okay?
00:38:16It just feels a little bit dry in here.
00:38:20Turn down the A.C. a little.
00:38:22Yeah, of course.
00:38:26Why don't we all just take a break?
00:38:28I could use the fresh air too.
00:38:30Oh.
00:38:38Oh my God.
00:38:40Everything all right, Tom?
00:38:42I think something's wrong.
00:38:44My mom just called and she never calls me this late.
00:38:46And let alone on a weekday.
00:38:48My wife's with her.
00:38:50And...
00:38:52Calm down. I'm sure everything's fine.
00:38:54Paul, can you check the news?
00:38:56Sure.
00:38:58Well, it seems like a shooting is happening on West Maple Street.
00:39:00C and M Alive Street.
00:39:16Are you okay?
00:39:18I think my arm just broke.
00:39:24Get up.
00:39:26Don't shoot.
00:39:30That bastard.
00:39:32Oh my God.
00:39:34Mr. Smith, I need to get there as fast as I can.
00:39:36I'm going with you.
00:39:38Get the car ready.
00:39:40Yes, sir.
00:39:42This country needs gun control.
00:39:44Let me get my weapon.
00:39:48Put the gun down.
00:39:50Get on your knees. Now.
00:39:52Okay.
00:39:54What do you want? You want money?
00:39:56You can have it.
00:39:58Please.
00:40:00My daughter's about to give birth.
00:40:02Please just let us go. We won't do anything. I promise.
00:40:04Please, please, please.
00:40:06You can have whatever you want. Just don't hurt us.
00:40:08Leave your phone, wallet, and purse.
00:40:10And get out.
00:40:12Don't tell anybody what happened here.
00:40:14Yes. Thank you so much. Okay. Of course.
00:40:16Come on.
00:40:24Did you call the cops?
00:40:26Did you call the cops?
00:40:28No, no, no, no.
00:40:30Of course not. I didn't. Why would I?
00:40:38Why are they here?
00:40:40How could they know?
00:40:42I don't know. Maybe there's an alarm?
00:40:44Let me see your phone.
00:40:48Please.
00:40:50It's not too late to surrender. Okay?
00:40:52Have you done anything bad yet?
00:40:54My son, he's a really good lawyer.
00:40:56He could defend you.
00:40:58Bitch, I should kill you!
00:41:00They're gonna lock me up
00:41:02because of you!
00:41:04Say goodbye to your daughter and the baby.
00:41:06No! Don't you fucking care!
00:41:10If you shoot us,
00:41:12there will be an arrest.
00:41:14There won't be a trial.
00:41:16The police will just kill you where you are!
00:41:18Well, if you didn't call the fucking cops,
00:41:20it isn't too late
00:41:22to change your mind.
00:41:24Think of your family, right?
00:41:26What would they do if they knew you were a murderer?
00:41:28They'd be heartbroken if they knew
00:41:30their son was a murderer.
00:41:32Keep my family out of your mouth!
00:41:34I won't let those fucking cops catch me!
00:41:36I won't be in jail for the next 20 years
00:41:38and end up alone like you!
00:41:40Do not compare your cursed life with mine.
00:41:42Okay?
00:41:44I'm not a failure.
00:41:46I'm not alone.
00:41:48I'm not a certified felon like you are.
00:41:50Oh, God,
00:41:52if my husband was alive,
00:41:54he would shoot you right on the spot!
00:42:18Oh...
00:42:32Oh, Susanna.
00:42:34Don't cry for me.
00:42:38Oh, thank God.
00:42:40I thought I was gonna lose you.
00:42:44The world goes on.
00:42:46I sing my song.
00:42:48I won't miss.
00:42:50I gave my own true love
00:42:52for you to see.
00:42:56Oh, come on.
00:42:58It's not the first time I've been in danger.
00:43:02Jerry.
00:43:04Jerry Smith.
00:43:06Is that your name?
00:43:08Yes.
00:43:10Since I was born.
00:43:12Do you remember
00:43:14Do you remember
00:43:16Lisa!
00:43:18Oh, God, Lisa!
00:43:20Please wake up, Lisa!
00:43:30Oh, this reminds me
00:43:32of the day I had you 30 years ago.
00:43:34God, that hurt.
00:43:36Mom, this isn't helping.
00:43:38But we made it, didn't we?
00:43:40And so will Lisa.
00:43:42Hey,
00:43:44everything's gonna be alright.
00:43:50Doctor,
00:43:52how's Lisa
00:43:54and my baby?
00:43:56Mother and daughter are both safe and healthy.
00:43:58At
00:44:0012.05, December 25th,
00:44:02I'd say it's a Christmas miracle.
00:44:04However,
00:44:06Lisa did lose a lot of blood, and she's very weak.
00:44:08So, one of you needs to come with me.
00:44:12You go first.
00:44:14Yeah, I'm gonna check on Jerry.
00:44:18Mom, there's something that I need to tell you
00:44:20about Mr. Smith.
00:44:22You know him?
00:44:24Yeah, actually.
00:44:26I know him.
00:44:28Are you coming or not?
00:44:30Oh, sorry. Go. We'll talk later.
00:44:38Jerry.
00:44:42Jerry.
00:44:46Why does he look so different?
00:44:48Like my old Jerry.
00:44:52Jerry.
00:44:54I'm awake.
00:44:56What time is it?
00:44:58Five past midnight.
00:45:00Gosh, that late?
00:45:02One second.
00:45:04I need to make a call.
00:45:06I've kept somebody waiting all day.
00:45:08Go ahead.
00:45:12Merry Christmas,
00:45:14my hero.
00:45:16Don't be late for the party tomorrow.
00:45:18We have a lot
00:45:20to talk about.
00:45:26Hand the guy.
00:45:28I'll be there on time.
00:45:42One more kiss.
00:45:44Slowly this time.
00:45:46You nut.
00:46:12Come in.
00:46:20Lisa, come in.
00:46:30I cannot believe you're here.
00:46:32Why did you stay in the hospital?
00:46:34I wasn't gonna miss your Christmas party.
00:46:36And neither was your new granddaughter.
00:46:42What's your name?
00:46:44Chris.
00:46:46We named her after you, Mom.
00:46:50I am honored.
00:46:54Dr. Ken, Lisa needs some rest,
00:46:56so can she take your room?
00:46:58Of course. We'll wake you up for dinner.
00:47:00That'd be great. Thanks.
00:47:08Mom.
00:47:10I need to tell you something.
00:47:12Um...
00:47:14It's about Mr. Smith.
00:47:16What about him?
00:47:18Don't tell me you don't like him.
00:47:20No, I...
00:47:22I think he's great, really.
00:47:24Um...
00:47:26Have a seat.
00:47:28Hey, Helen.
00:47:30How are you?
00:47:32Good, good. Are you coming?
00:47:34No.
00:47:40Merry Christmas, Dad.
00:47:42Helen is not coming.
00:47:44Her husband hurt his back last night.
00:47:46He won't even be able to move today.
00:47:48Well, I'm glad that Aunt Helen
00:47:50and Uncle Greg are still in love.
00:47:52Yeah, have you ever seen that couple not be together?
00:47:54Wait, back to the point. Mom.
00:47:56Oh, that thought.
00:48:04Knock, knock, knock.
00:48:16Merry Christmas.
00:48:18Merry Christmas, buddy.
00:48:20Ooh, look at all this. Thank you.
00:48:22Watch out. Be careful now.
00:48:24It's my special mac and cheese.
00:48:26Come on.
00:48:28Yeah, you look nice.
00:48:30Thanks. Coming through.
00:48:32Man.
00:48:34Haven't seen you around the bowling alley lately.
00:48:36I know.
00:48:38We really missed you.
00:48:40But me and Lisa have been busy.
00:48:42Ah, a little too busy for his uncle, Antoine.
00:48:44We just had a baby.
00:48:46What?
00:48:48Yeah.
00:48:50Oh, my God. Congratulations.
00:48:52Mom?
00:48:54Mom, can you hang on a second?
00:48:56Remember Antoine's mac and cheese?
00:48:58Amazing.
00:49:00Please, there's something that I really need to talk to you.
00:49:02If you could just give me a moment to tell you...
00:49:04Mom is just a little busy right now.
00:49:06Why don't you go watch some football with Antoine?
00:49:08But Mom...
00:49:20Hi, Chris.
00:49:22Dad, I mean, Jerry dropped us off.
00:49:24He's parking.
00:49:26Oh, come in. Come in.
00:49:28Come on. Come in.
00:49:34Uh, homemade lentils.
00:49:36I made them myself.
00:49:38I didn't know you were such a chef.
00:49:40It's my favorite.
00:49:42Uh, I really appreciate you standing up for us
00:49:44the other night at the bar.
00:49:46Well, you can't expect a father to like someone
00:49:48who stole his daughter's heart.
00:49:50And you're lucky he only yelled at you.
00:49:58Dad?
00:50:24May I come in, darling?
00:50:26Is this...
00:50:28Tom Cruise?
00:50:30Because, uh, I've been expecting Jerry.
00:50:38You're part of the family now.
00:50:40Don't let Emma down.
00:50:42Dad!
00:50:44I wouldn't dream of it.
00:50:46Follow me, boys and girls.
00:50:48Jerry!
00:50:50My old friend.
00:50:52How are you?
00:50:54Very well.
00:50:56Now that we're finally all together.
00:50:58This is Antoine, my best friend.
00:51:00Hello.
00:51:02And this is Tom, my son.
00:51:04Uh, I believe some of you
00:51:06already know him.
00:51:08Hi, Tom.
00:51:10Hi, Jerry.
00:51:12How are you?
00:51:14Good.
00:51:16And some of you already know him.
00:51:18Great to see you again.
00:51:20I'm so glad
00:51:22that we're truly a family now.
00:51:26Nice to meet you again, Mr. Smith.
00:51:28I'm afraid there's many things
00:51:30that you have not told my mother.
00:51:34Tom.
00:51:36Mom.
00:51:38Did you know that your new husband is the richest man
00:51:40in the state?
00:51:42Hang on.
00:51:44I didn't mean to...
00:51:46Tom, come with me.
00:52:06Could we just have one
00:52:08day of peace and quiet?
00:52:10One day.
00:52:12We are trying to play some game.
00:52:14I just found out yesterday.
00:52:16I had to say something.
00:52:18Mom, I...
00:52:20I know you, okay?
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
00:52:30with the President?
00:52:32The President of the United States.
00:52:34I mean, the press is already
00:52:36wondering why he's missing and where he is.
00:52:38If they find out that
00:52:40you two are married,
00:52:42you're going to have journalists
00:52:44sticking their noses in every aspect
00:52:46of your life.
00:52:48And they're going to take away your freedom.
00:52:50Wow, you really are a lawyer.
00:52:54Mom.
00:52:56Mom, this isn't a joke.
00:52:58Do you really want to be a fixture in the tabloids?
00:53:00Because you will.
00:53:02Tom.
00:53:04What? I mean, beyond everything I just said,
00:53:06have you thought about it?
00:53:08Have 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.
00:53:24It's just that
00:53:26everything happened too fast.
00:53:28I couldn't find the right time.
00:53:30Bullshit.
00:53:32Tell her, right now, everything.
00:53:34Mr. Overdriver.
00:53:36Mr. Smith.
00:53:38I've worked for you for many years and I trust you as a boss
00:53:40and a father, but I can't sit by
00:53:42and let you lie to my mother.
00:53:44I swear, I just...
00:53:46Tom.
00:53:48I appreciate you telling me.
00:53:50You should have waited one day,
00:53:52just one more day,
00:53:54so I could have my Christmas.
00:54:02What's the use of marriage
00:54:04if nothing's ever shared?
00:54:06You said that before, didn't you?
00:54:08Grace, I'm really sorry.
00:54:10I...
00:54:12I'm just...
00:54:14I never meant for any of this to happen.
00:54:16I was trying to find the best moment.
00:54:18I need some time.
00:54:22And some space.
00:54:30God.
00:54:32This is bad.
00:54:34Tom shouldn't have
00:54:36brought that up at Christmas.
00:54:38I mean, if someone was lying to my mom,
00:54:40I'd probably do the same thing.
00:54:42My mom. Not this time.
00:54:48I'm sorry, guys. I ruined Christmas.
00:54:50Dad, I'm sorry.
00:54:52I...
00:54:54I really screwed up.
00:55:00Where did that photo come from?
00:55:04It's a family photo
00:55:06from when I was younger.
00:55:10That's...
00:55:12That's...
00:55:14That's...
00:55:16That's...
00:55:18That's...
00:55:20your family?
00:55:22That's...
00:55:24your father,
00:55:26your mother,
00:55:28your sister,
00:55:30and yourself?
00:55:32I don't understand. What's the big deal?
00:55:34I...
00:55:48Don't push me away.
00:55:50Jesus.
00:55:54I've searched for 20 years
00:55:56to find someone like you.
00:55:58You make me feel young
00:56:00and alive.
00:56:04You have to understand,
00:56:06ever since the tragedy,
00:56:08I've only lived for my daughter.
00:56:12She's the only thing I have left.
00:56:14Now she has John.
00:56:16My job is done.
00:56:18She's safe
00:56:20and loved.
00:56:22But I have no one.
00:56:26No one except you.
00:56:30Please, Chris.
00:56:34Please.
00:56:36I don't understand.
00:56:40Maybe it's time you tell me about the tragedy.
00:56:44What happened 20 years ago?
00:56:46Where did you get this?
00:56:50This is the last thing that
00:56:52my mother left me.
00:56:56She died in a landslide 20 years ago.
00:56:58A landslide? Where?
00:57:00Maple.
00:57:02The Barren Mountain?
00:57:0440 miles north of Anchorage, Alaska?
00:57:08Yeah. Yeah, that's exactly
00:57:10where Dad said that she...
00:57:12Mr. Smith?
00:57:16No, no, there's no way.
00:57:18He looks completely different.
00:57:20The landslide nearly
00:57:22crushed his skull.
00:57:24The doctors had to give him
00:57:26a whole new face.
00:57:30Jesus Christ.
00:57:32He's my dad?
00:57:34Yeah.
00:57:4220 years ago,
00:57:44my family went up
00:57:46to a barren mountain.
00:57:48Oh, God.
00:57:50Like, today's not crazy enough.
00:57:52Jesus.
00:57:54I'm gonna kill whoever is at the door.
00:57:56Mom. Mom, wait a second.
00:57:58Do you remember our
00:58:00family photo on the wall?
00:58:02Yeah, of course. What about it?
00:58:04Where am I?
00:58:06Oh, my gosh, just look at this.
00:58:08Do you recognize
00:58:10Do you recognize
00:58:12that photo?
00:58:14Why is this photo water damaged?
00:58:18Wait. Is that...
00:58:24Oh, it can't be.
00:58:26Mom.
00:58:28Ugh.
00:58:38What do you want?
00:58:42This is Christmas. What is your problem?
00:58:44This is your Christmas gift.
00:58:46What are you talking about?
00:58:54You?
00:58:56Get away.
00:59:00You ruined my entire life
00:59:02and this is what you get.
00:59:04Jerry.
00:59:12Mom, are you okay?
00:59:16The police are on their way, asshole.
00:59:18This is all her fault.
00:59:20I'm not going to try to rob a bowling alley.
00:59:22Get some rope.
00:59:24I'm gonna fuck you all.
00:59:28Shut the fuck up.
00:59:32Oh, my God, John.
00:59:34You're a hero.
00:59:38I think that was enough
00:59:40craziness for one day.
00:59:42Let's get this asshole out of here.
00:59:44Just wait here, John.
00:59:46I got this.
00:59:48Let's go.
00:59:52Okay.
01:00:00Well,
01:00:02looks like someone made the naughty list this year.
01:00:10What happened to you?
01:00:14Why do you look so different?
01:00:16Why didn't you come back to me?
01:00:18What's this all about?
01:00:22Is she...
01:00:26Is she...
01:00:30Yes, Pa.
01:00:32That's Mom.
01:00:34And this is Tom.
01:00:38I'm sorry I didn't recognize you before.
01:00:40Tom.
01:00:44You're my son.
01:00:46Tell me this is real.
01:00:48Please.
01:00:52Are you my wife?
01:00:56The Chris that I married?
01:00:58Did you hike Anchorage
01:01:0020 years ago?
01:01:02Mount Maple?
01:01:06I guess so.
01:01:08My memory...
01:01:10The accident...
01:01:12I can't remember
01:01:14I can't remember who I was.
01:01:18My backpack, my ID...
01:01:20All gone.
01:01:24The only thing we have left is...
01:01:30And her.
01:01:34My God.
01:01:36How did you survive?
01:01:38A hunter
01:01:40found us in the woods.
01:01:42Injured and cold
01:01:44but alive.
01:01:46I 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.
01:02:00I thought you were dead too.
01:02:12Mom and Dad.
01:02:16Son, get in here.
01:02:18Group hug, come on.
01:02:26You know
01:02:28this day a million times over
01:02:30but
01:02:32I never thought it would actually happen for real.
01:02:38It's a Christmas miracle.
01:02:59Darling
01:03:01are you staying tonight?
01:03:03Of course.
01:03:05I've waited over 20 years for this.
01:03:15Thank you all for
01:03:17joining our family
01:03:19here today.
01:03:21It's been a long road
01:03:23a strange
01:03:25journey
01:03:27but there is no place
01:03:29I'd rather be.
01:03:31After 20 years apart
01:03:33fate has given us the best
01:03:35Christmas gift of all
01:03:37each other.
01:03:39Merry Christmas!
01:03:41Merry Christmas!
