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. I have a son and a granddaughter on the way. 50? Girl, do you that damn old?

00:00:17You said you're 52 on the dating app and you are definitely 60. Boys will be boys,

00:00:21even in their 60s. Start with London, then Paris, and then Rome, then all the way to Beijing.

00:00:30The three of us. Three of us? You, me, and my wife, of course. Your wife. This is a date.

00:00:36Hmm. My oh my, you are absolutely stunning. What do you say we get together and have a baby before we

00:00:43get too old, shall we? God, I'd like to see you try. Good, because I always like to record.

00:00:53Excuse me, boss. It's time for your date. Should I leave this here, or...? Where is this from?

00:00:58Well, department store. Cheap as it gets. On the car?

00:01:00Well, it's used. Excellent.

00:01:03Is there anything else you need? Just keep this quiet. Yes, boss. No one will ever find out that

00:01:09the chairman of Pete Klein is going as a date as an ordinary urban driver.

00:01:18Hi, I'm Jerry.

00:01:19What's with the glasses, four eyes? Are you blind? Who the hell wants to be with a sick old man?

00:01:28Only 60% of your wages each month. 30% will cover daily expenses. 30% will go to the bank to cover my

00:01:37mortgage. Oh, how generous. You left me 40%.

00:01:4040%? No, that 40% is going straight to my account.

00:01:46I'm tired in an hour. Plus 10 if you want overnight.

00:01:49Uh, I'm sorry. I'm actually looking for someone to marry.

00:01:53Half a million a month. Any better software?

00:01:55Half a million a month.

00:02:00I think it's...

00:02:16Hi, I'm Jerry Smith.

00:02:18Chris. Chris Parker. Let's get married.

00:02:24That's your pitch?

00:02:25I'm a very straightforward man.

00:02:27Lucky you.

00:02:30That is exactly my time.

00:02:32Oh, no, no, no. I've got it.

00:02:51Mom, what are you doing here?

00:02:54It's always so good to see you two.

00:02:57How's work?

00:02:58Same boss. Still great. Wish I had more time off though.

00:03:03And have you decided on a name for the baby?

00:03:06Yeah, actually. Um...

00:03:12It'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. I know she's not around anymore, but I figured that she would

00:03:26appreciate that I named our baby daughter after her.

00:03:28No.

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.

00:03:36Let's just let them stay in our memory and not try to replace.

00:03:40Mom!

00:03:42This is my house.

00:03:44I 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.

00:04:00Don'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.

00:04:07You can't just drop by and tell me what to do.

00:04:10You clearly need the help.

00:04:11Not from an overbearing, old, sad, crazy woman like you.

00:04:18Tom! That's too much.

00:04:20I'm sorry, Mom. I didn't mean to.

00:04:27So that's what you think of me?

00:04:29Chris, it's not like that.

00:04:32Take care of yourself, sweetheart.

00:04:35Mom, where are you going?

00:04:36Anywhere but here.

00:04:37It's raining outside. Please, just...

00:04:39Oh, goddammit, you've got to be kidding me.

00:04:58Got her to freak out here?

00:04:59What do you want?

00:05:17Chris, it's me.

00:05:19What's wrong? Did someone upset you?

00:05:22Jerry! No, no, it's nothing.

00:05:25It doesn't sound like nothing.

00:05:27What is better?

00:05:28Are 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?

00:05:36I'm going to pick you up.

00:05:37No, no, no, it's fine.

00:05:39It's no reason for you to freeze out here, too.

00:05:41Where are you?

00:05:42It's more off Lincoln Road, I think.

00:05:45I'll be right there. Don't move.

00:05:47Go 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.

00:06:03Hey, baby. You need a ride?

00:06:22Oh, thank god.

00:06:24Hold on. Let me get the door for you.

00:06:33Where to, m'lady?

00:07:01Where to, m'lady?

00:07:02Driver makes the call.

00:07:04But somewhere warm, I'm frozen.

00:07:08My, uh, my cabin is just down the road.

00:07:13We 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,

00:07:23drink a shot of whiskey, and pray for a good night's sleep.

00:07:28Well, that's not all we need to do.

00:07:42Let's do it.

00:07:54Don't worry.

00:07:54I'm sorry.

00:07:55What's that?

00:07:56I'm sorry.

00:07:56I'm sorry, but I don't know.

00:07:58I'm sorry.

00:07:59I can help.

00:07:59You didn't have to.

00:08:01Oh, I could help.

00:08:03I'm almost done.

00:08:05Have a seat.

00:08:06I could.

00:08:06Uh-uh.

00:08:07I'll see.

00:08:08OK.

00:08:09OK.

00:08:29What are you looking at?

00:08:47Have a seat.

00:08:51You're incredible.

00:08:59This is the best breakfast I've had in years.

00:09:01Aw.

00:09:02I'm flattered.

00:09:04Now, you mentioned us going to the auction today.

00:09:07Is that still happening?

00:09:08Yes.

00:09:09And actually, we should start getting ready soon.

00:09:12Um, do I look OK?

00:09:16Like a dream.

00:09:18But I do have a small present for you.

00:09:26Jerry.

00:09:29This is beautiful.

00:09:31Aw.

00:09:35You're so sweet.

00:09:54Oh, no, honey.

00:09:55Oh, do you think I'm overdressed?

00:09:57Not at all.

00:09:58This is who you are.

00:09:59Don't be shy.

00:10:02Wow, wow, wow.

00:10:04Look at this old mummy.

00:10:06Somebody bought her new bandages.

00:10:11Wow, wow, wow.

00:10:13Look at this old mummy.

00:10:15Somebody bought her new bandages.

00:10:17It lost.

00:10:18Had.

00:10:19Looks like someone forgot her dentures today.

00:10:21Don't be jealous, darling.

00:10:23They're new and permanent.

00:10:25I'm jealous.

00:10:26Don't make me laugh.

00:10:28You disgusting old bitch.

00:10:30What is this, your new boy toy?

00:10:45Old and sick.

00:10:48Great taste.

00:10:49Come on, honey.

00:10:51What's her problem?

00:10:54Mia?

00:10:55She's been like that since high school.

00:10:57Always trying to be superior to everyone.

00:11:00But always falling short.

00:12:28He is dead.

00:13:28We won.

00:13:29Fair warning.

00:13:30Last call.

00:13:41The album clock to the lovely couple in the center of the room.

00:13:44Thank you very much.

00:13:45Everybody, please.

00:13:46A round of applause for the lovely couple.

00:13:49It means so much to me.

00:13:50It's so important.

00:13:51Oh, I'll pay you back later.

00:13:52It's my treat.

00:13:53I 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.

00:14:09Ma'am, I needed to deliver this to you in person.

00:14:14It is the most expensive item I've ever sold.

00:14:18You're very lucky.

00:14:21Merry Christmas.

00:14:22Thank you, sir.

00:14:23Is it the one you were looking for?

00:14:29Baby, are you all right?

00:14:35Breathe.

00:14:37Slowly.

00:14:42What happened?

00:14:43Is something wrong with it?

00:14:45Welcome back.

00:14:47This belonged to you?

00:14:49My late husband bought this for me many years ago.

00:14:52My most precious belonging.

00:14:56I thought I'd never see it again.

00:14:59Oh.

00:15:02I'm so sorry.

00:15:03Give me one minute.

00:15:05Yeah.

00:15:09Okay.

00:15:16Tom, look, look, look.

00:15:18I got a call from my friend at the auction.

00:15:24$70,000 for this?

00:15:26Are you losing your mind?

00:15:27No, Tom.

00:15:28You promised me that you would never touch climbing gear again.

00:15:35This is different.

00:15:36I don't fucking care.

00:15:37Please don't say that.

00:15:39They're dead.

00:15:41Dad and Emma are fucking dead.

00:15:44Maybe if you wouldn't have fucking supported their stupid hobby,

00:15:49you'd still be around.

00:15:50It was an accident.

00:15:51You can't blame it all on me.

00:15:53Is that not enough?

00:15:54What?

00:15:55Are 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?

00:16:01It was never my intention.

00:16:03Please don't say that.

00:16:04Look at me.

00:16:05You are never welcome in my home again.

00:16:10And if you want to go die, go die alone.

00:16:14No, Tom.

00:16:15Tom, wait!

00:16:25Chris!

00:16:26Chris!

00:16:27Chris!

00:16:28Chris!

00:16:29Chris!

00:16:30Chris!

00:16:31Chris!

00:16:32Chris!

00:16:33Chris!

00:16:34Chris!

00:16:35Oh.

00:16:36Chris, are you okay?

00:16:37What happened?

00:16:38Oh.

00:16:39It's fine.

00:16:41Just family quarrel.

00:16:43If this keeps happening, I'm going to need to have a little talk with your family.

00:16:48Oh, let me see that.

00:16:49Here.

00:16:50Come here.

00:16:51Oh.

00:16:52It stinks.

00:16:54How old's your daughter?

00:16:5622.

00:17:00Ever have any difficulties with her?

00:17:05I don't even know where to start.

00:17:07I'm so glad I have you.

00:17:08Me too.

00:17:09What do you say we forget about those damn kids?

00:17:10And go have a drink.

00:17:11How about that?

00:17:12Yeah, okay.

00:17:13I know a place.

00:17:14But you gotta have a good back.

00:17:16That is incredible.

00:17:17That is incredible.

00:17:18Everything looks good.

00:17:19Everything looks good.

00:17:20Everything all right?

00:17:21Yeah.

00:17:22Everything looks good.

00:17:23Yeah.

00:17:24Everything looks good.

00:17:25Everything looks good.

00:17:26Yeah.

00:17:27It feels good.

00:17:28It feels good.

00:17:29How about that?

00:17:30Yeah.

00:17:31Okay.

00:17:32I know a place.

00:17:33But you gotta have a good back.

00:17:35Just Ahhh.

00:17:36That is incredible!

00:17:47Everything all right?

00:17:48Yeah, it just feels like this isn't the first time I've been bowling.

00:17:54You've never seen anything before I didn't.

00:17:59I 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 that checked out?

00:18:12Yeah.

00:18:13The doctor says I'm fine.

00:18:14It's just, I guess the old green matter

00:18:17is just seeing what it used to be.

00:18:21Anyway.

00:18:30Chris, did you find yourself a pro?

00:18:33Great question.

00:18:35Jerry, this is my buddy Antoine.

00:18:37He owns this place.

00:18:38Antoine, this is Jerry.

00:18:40My husband.

00:18:41Your husband?

00:18:42Wow, 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.

00:18:56He 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.

00:19:06Chris 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?

00:19:13Something must be really wrong.

00:19:15Well, did you guys ever hear 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.

00:19:28Win-win.

00:19:29I thought about it.

00:19:30But they're only offering half the going range.

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.

00:19:41Who's the boss?

00:19:51Who's the boss?

00:19:56That would be me.

00:19:58Whoa.

00:19:59Can I help you?

00:20:00I'm Griffin.

00:20:01Boss of the Griffins.

00:20:03Open your register.

00:20:04We're taking your money.

00:20:06That's not going to happen, man.

00:20:08Do or die, fat ass.

00:20:10Put that thing down.

00:20:11Shut your mouth, grandma.

00:20:13Mind your shit or I'll blow them away.

00:20:15Robbery is one thing.

00:20:17Murder, you can't come back from that.

00:20:19We talking business, old bitch.

00:20:21And I have Jesus Christ in this fucking neighborhood.

00:20:24When did Jesus pack a .45?

00:20:27I'll shoot you piece of shit.

00:20:32Nobody 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.

00:20:41He'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?

00:20:54That's not how a leader acts, is it?

00:20:56What are you talking about?

00:20:59Move on.

00:21:00Take your business out.

00:21:02Bullshit!

00:21:03The fuck 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?

00:21:15I doubt you know who he is.

00:21:17He runs the other side of town.

00:21:19Like I said, the world's a complicated place.

00:21:22Now what would happen if Vladimir find out

00:21:25you're messing with some of his friends?

00:21:28How would that turn out for you?

00:21:35Don'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.

00:21:52You know what to do.

00:21:53Thank you, sir.

00:21:54Maybe we have your name?

00:21:55Fuck off.

00:21:57Now!

00:21:58I think that'll keep 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 judgement 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.

00:22:26Two of the most conservative guys in town.

00:22:30They'll just love this dude slinging drugs outside his window.

00:22:34Wait, you just did that?

00:22:36Jesus 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, 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 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...

00:23:09He kind of reminds me of Jerry.

00:23:14Your late husband.

00:23:21Okay.

00:23:22All right.

00:23:25He doesn't look anything like him.

00:23:27No, not his looks.

00:23:28You know, his vibe.

00:23:29How he carries himself.

00:23:33But a Jerry.

00:23:34Never really died in that accident.

00:23:37No!

00:23:38Jerry.

00:23:39Jerry is dead.

00:23:40My bad.

00:23:41If he was alive, he would have come looking for me.

00:23:44Absolutely.

00:23:45Hey.

00:23:46Hey.

00:23:47Hey.

00:23:48Hey.

00:23:49Hey.

00:23:50Hey.

00:23:51Hey.

00:23:52Hey.

00:23:53Hey.

00:23:54Hey.

00:23:55Hey.

00:23:56Hey.

00:23:57Hey.

00:23:58Hey.

00:23:59Hey.

00:24:00Hey.

00:24:01Hey.

00:24:02Hey.

00:24:03Hey.

00:24:04Hey.

00:24:05Hey.

00:24:06Hey.

00:24:07Hey.

00:24:08Hey.

00:24:09Hey.

00:24:10Hey.

00:24:11Hey.

00:24:12Hey.

00:24:13Hey.

00:24:14Hey.

00:24:15Hey.

00:24:16Hey.

00:24:17Hey.

00:24:18Hey.

00:24:19Hey.

00:24:20Hey.

00:24:21Hey.

00:24:22Hey.

00:24:23Hey.

00:24:24Hey.

00:24:25Hey.

00:24:26Hey.

00:24:27Hey.

00:24:28Hey.

00:24:29Hey.

00:24:30Hey.

00:24:31Hey.

00:24:32Hey.

00:24:33Hey.

00:24:34Hey.

00:24:35Hey.

00:24:36my family, would you come? Of course. It would be my honor.

00:24:54Mom. Please, come in, please. Tom, I just want to quickly say...

00:25:05I'm so sorry about the other night. It's just, Tom's been working on a hard case, and we have a daughter on the way, and it's just been a lot of pressure.

00:25:15I'm really sorry what I said. It's okay. I made a lot of mistakes. And some of them, some of them I can't fix.

00:25:27But I didn't come here to talk about the past. I came to tell you I'm married.

00:25:35You're married?

00:25:37Ah, that's wonderful, Mom.

00:25:38He's the sweetest man. I know you're going to love him. And I want you to meet him at Christmas dinner.

00:25:43We would love that.

00:25:44Dad would be so happy. I mean, he was always getting you out of trouble, and I'm sure he's out there looking down with a smile, thinking someone has your back.

00:25:54Yeah, yeah. Of course.

00:25:58What is it? Something wrong?

00:26:01No, it's just... Tom, after all these years, if you ever saw your father again, do you think you'd recognize him?

00:26:09Yeah, of course I would. He's in that picture right there behind you. I mean, I look at him every day.

00:26:21I hope so. Anyway, it's getting late, and I have to go. But I will see you guys at Christmas dinner?

00:26:29Yeah, of course.

00:26:29Yeah. Looking forward to it. Yeah, me too.

00:26:35Wine for the lady?

00:26:44But this place is cute. Is it new?

00:26:48Just opened. My daughter recommended.

00:26:52Well, she has brave taste. You 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.

00:27:11It's not with their brains.

00:27:16Come on, John. Finish it.

00:27:22Speak of the devil.

00:27:25Emma?

00:27:28Dad?

00:27:29Emma.

00:27:34Emma.

00:27:36John.

00:27:36Dad, 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?

00:27:48Okay, 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?

00:27:59John nearly burned our house down.

00:28:01That's my life and my business.

00:28:03Not to mention that he nearly got you killed.

00:28:05You know, where do you get off?

00:28:06Okay, because maybe if you knew the first thing about love, mom wouldn't have ditched us 20 years ago.

00:28:15You don't know what you're talking about.

00:28:19I don't know what I'm talking about?

00:28:21Huh.

00:28:22If mom didn't ditch us, then why is the only thing she left this old photo?

00:28:28Hmm?

00:28:32You teach her this shit?

00:28:34Get out!

00:28:36I don't ever want to fucking see you again!

00:28:37If he leaves, then I'm going with him!

00:28:47Hold on, honey.

00:28:49Let's talk.

00:28:53And who the hell are you?

00:28:55Uh, boys.

00:28:57Give us some space.

00:28:58You didn't mean to do that, did you?

00:29:09Of course not!

00:29:11But how can I...

00:29:12You know, he doesn't trust me!

00:29:15He's strong.

00:29:17What's that last time your father mentioned?

00:29:23So my dad invited John over for Thanksgiving dinner, right?

00:29:28And John's a shy boy.

00:29:29He 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.

00:29:50Well, John doesn't drink much.

00:29:52His friends suggested that maybe a little liquor might help him loosen up.

00:29:56But, key word, a little.

00:29:59John got so drunk.

00:30:02And he drove me home.

00:30:05And he crashed the car straight into my dad's car.

00:30:10Oh, dear.

00:30:11I can only imagine how Jerry reacted to that.

00:30:14Well, whatever you're imagining is way, way worse.

00:30:19I mean, like, my dad's actually a really, like, respectful man.

00:30:24You know?

00:30:25I mean, he didn't even say anything about the car or the garden.

00:30:29He just...

00:30:29He even invited John to come in and sober up.

00:30:34But John was, like, wasted.

00:30:37I mean, like, blind drunk.

00:30:39So he stumbles in and knocks over a candle and sets the curtains on fire.

00:30:48Oh, dear.

00:30:48That is...

00:30:49Yeah, it's a nightmare.

00:30:50It is what it is.

00:30:52But, you know, like, John's not like that.

00:30:56You 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.

00:31:05And my dad won't let it go.

00:31:06Oh, gotcha, girl.

00:31:07It was just a misunderstanding.

00:31:10Thanks.

00:31:11I still don't understand, you know.

00:31:14Who are you?

00:31:15How do you know my dad?

00:31:19Baby, you look a bit drunk.

00:31:22Wanna ride home?

00:31:23Uh, go away.

00:31:24This is none of your business.

00:31:28Who the fuck are you, Granny?

00:31:29Go home and fuck yourself.

00:31:31Don't make me repeat myself.

00:31:33Oh, my God.

00:31:34Are you all right?

00:31:36You're coming with me, huh?

00:31:37No.

00:31:41I'm sorry, ma'am.

00:31:42I should have jumped in sooner.

00:31:44I like you, kid.

00:31:45Get 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?

00:31:50You ready to go home?

00:31:51Yeah.

00:31:52Okay, let's go.

00:31:53Oh, Jerry and I are hosting a Christmas dinner.

00:31:56I would love for you to come.

00:31:57Do not be late.

00:31:59Oh, what a cute boy.

00:32:03Now, where is my husband?

00:32:15Hey!

00:32:17There's the old bitch.

00:32:23Hey!

00:32:25There's the old bitch.

00:32:27Oh, you've never learned.

00:32:28The home man.

00:32:29Your boy toy beat me at the bar.

00:32:31And now you're going to pay.

00:32:33Put that thing down.

00:32:34Fuck you, bitch.

00:32:35Give me your money.

00:32:36Take off your coat.

00:32:41Where did you get that thing?

00:32:45I keep it in my trunk.

00:32:46You know, to fix the car.

00:32:48I almost forgot you're a driver.

00:32:51Oh.

00:32:51What a hug.

00:32:56All right, let's get out of here.

00:32:59Come on.

00:33:11You really know how to get yourself into trouble, don't you?

00:33:14Maybe I should start carrying a gun in there.

00:33:16Shut up.

00:33:17Are John and Emma going to be okay?

00:33:23Hmm.

00:33:25John said you agreed to let Emma 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?

00:33:33He was like a monster.

00:33:34I think that's just an excuse.

00:33:37You would have a problem with John no matter what.

00:33:40He could be a doctor, a lawyer, a senator.

00:33:42Or you'd still hate him.

00:33:44Because what you really can't stand is somebody taking your daughter away.

00:33:49You're probably right.

00:33:50Oh, probably.

00:33:54You are.

00:33:57If John deserves my daughter, then I'll dance at their wedding.

00:34:01Thanks.

00:34:04Can you still dance, old man?

00:34:08Let me show you.

00:34:09Paul, cancel all my plans for Christmas.

00:34:29All of your appointments.

00:34:31That's right.

00:34:32Boss, you're invited to the White House for dinner on Christmas.

00:34:35Something more important's come up.

00:34:36Tell me, what's more important than the president?

00:34:42Tom, you're early.

00:34:45I mean, today's meeting's too important to be late to.

00:34:47But I am curious, what's more important than the president?

00:34:51My wife and I are hosting a Christmas party.

00:34:53You should come.

00:34:54Oh, thanks, Mr. Smith.

00:34:55But my mother would be furious if I missed her Christmas party.

00:35:00That's all right.

00:35:01Say hi to your mother for me, okay?

00:35:03And tell her, I wish I had a son like you.

00:35:06Really?

00:35:09I wish the melons were ripe.

00:35:11That would be nice for the table.

00:35:12Ooh!

00:35:13This one's ready.

00:35:14Think?

00:35:15Yeah.

00:35:25Ooh!

00:35:27This one's ready.

00:35:27Think?

00:35:28Yeah.

00:35:30Do you think we have enough for Christmas now?

00:35:32Yeah.

00:35:32Thank you so much for coming with me, sweetheart.

00:35:34It's the least I could do after the other day.

00:35:36Tom really went overboard.

00:35:37Ha ha.

00:35:38If I let every silly thing that boy said bother me, I would have been dead a hundred years ago.

00:35:44Let's see what else.

00:35:48Ah!

00:35:49Ah!

00:35:49Fill the cap now!

00:35:52Do it!

00:35:53Everybody down!

00:35:53I'm lifting your hands!

00:35:56What should we do?

00:35:58The title transfer from party A shall not...

00:36:02Mr. Smith, are you all right?

00:36:13I'm fine.

00:36:14I'm fine.

00:36:16It's sort of weird feeling about something.

00:36:19Like a bad feeling?

00:36:21Not 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.

00:36:35Don't move.

00:36:36There's a rob in the grocery store.

00:36:50There's one guy with a gun.

00:36:55We need an ambulance.

00:37:01Help is on the way.

00:37:02I'm fine.

00:37:04Boss, Mr. Fort is waiting for you in the conference room.

00:37:11Right.

00:37:11Dad.

00:37:35Cut, cut, cut.

00:37:36Damn it!

00:37:38Oh!

00:37:39Oh!

00:37:40Please, pick up! Come on! Damn it!

00:37:52Pick up! Come do it, please!

00:37:54Who's there?

00:37:58Come out! Don't make me ask again!

00:38:00My team has done an appraisal for the property.

00:38:03It looks nice, and I think...

00:38:05Mr. Smith, are you okay?

00:38:12It just feels a little bit dry in here.

00:38:17Turn down the AC a little.

00:38:20Yeah, of course.

00:38:24Why don't we all just take a break?

00:38:26I could use the fresh air, too.

00:38:35Oh, my God.

00:38:38Everything all right, Tom?

00:38:40I think something's wrong.

00:38:41My mom just called, and she never calls me this late.

00:38:44And let alone on a weekday, my wife's with her.

00:38:47And... and...

00:38:49Calm down. I'm sure everything's fine.

00:38:51Paul, can you check the news?

00:38:54Sure.

00:38:55Now.

00:38:56It seems like a shooting is happening on West Maple Street.

00:50:36You're part of the family now.

00:50:40Don't let Emma down.

00:50:41Dad!

00:50:43I wouldn't dream of it.

00:50:45Follow me, boys and girls.

00:50:53After your sweater, we like it, bud.

00:50:57Jerry, my old friend.

00:51:00How are you?

00:51:01Very well.

00:51:03Now 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.

00:51:13I believe some of you already know him.

00:51:17Great 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.

00:51:34Mom.

00:51:35Did you know that your new husband is the richest man in the state?

00:51:40Hang on.

00:51:42I didn't mean to...

00:51:43Tom.

00:51:44Come with me.

00:51:45Come with me.

00:51:47Could we just have one day of peace and quiet one day when you are trying to play some game?

00:52:12I just found out yesterday.

00:52:13I had to say something.

00:52:15Mom, I know you.

00:52:18Okay?

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 he'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, you're going to have journalists sticking their noses in every aspect of your life.

00:52:45And they're going to take away your freedom.

00:52:46Wow, you really are a lawyer.

00:52:52Mom.

00:52:53Mom, this isn't a joke.

00:52:56Do you really want to be a fixture in the tabloids?

00:52:58Because you will.

00:52:59Tom.

00:53:00What?

00:53:01I mean, beyond everything I just said, have you thought about it?

00:53:05Have you thought about why he's keeping this from you?

00:53:08Why he's hiding it?

00:53:09That man doesn't trust you.

00:53:11I do trust your mom.

00:53:16I trust her with all my heart.

00:53:23It's just that everything happened too fast.

00:53:25I couldn't find the right time.

00:53:28Bullshit.

00:53:29Tell her, right now, everything, Mr. Overdriver.

00:53:34Mr. Smith, I've worked for you for many years and I trust you as a boss and a father,

00:53:39but I can't sit by and let you lie to my mother.

00:53:42I swear, I just...

00:53:44Tom.

00:53:46I appreciate you telling me.

00:53:49You should have waited one day, just one more day, so I didn't have my Christmas.

00:54:01What's the use of marriage if nothing's ever shared?

00:54:05You said that before, didn't you?

00:54:07Chris, I'm really sorry.

00:54:09I...

00:54:10I'm just...

00:54:12I never meant for any of this to happen.

00:54:15I was trying to find the best moment.

00:54:18I need some time.

00:54:19I need some space.

00:54:29God.

00:54:31This is God.

00:54:33Tom shouldn't have brought that up at Christmas.

00:54:36I mean, if someone was lying to my mom, I'd probably do the same thing.

00:54:39Emma, not the time.

00:54:46I'm sorry, guys.

00:54:47I ruined Christmas.

00:54:48Dad, I'm sorry, I...

00:55:00I really screwed up.

00:55:08Where did that photo come from?

00:55:09It's a family photo from when I was younger.

00:55:17That's your family?

00:55:21That's your father, your mother, your sister, and yourself?

00:55:29I don't understand.

00:55:30What's the big deal?

00:55:30Don't push me away.

00:55:49Jesus.

00:55:52I've searched for 20 years to find someone like you.

00:55:56You make me feel young and alive.

00:56:00You have to understand.

00:56:05Ever since the tragedy, I've only lived for my daughter.

00:56:09She'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.

00:56:25No one except you.

00:56:30Please.

00:56:31Chris.

00:56:33Please.

00:56:35I don't understand.

00:56:39Maybe it's time you tell me about the tragedy.

00:56:42What happened 20 years ago?

00:56:45Where did you get this?

00:56:46This is the last thing that my mother left me.

00:56:54She died in a landslide 20 years ago.

00:56:57A landslide where?

00:56:58A maple.

00:56:59The barren mountain?

00:57:0240 miles north of Anchorage, Alaska?

00:57:04Yeah.

00:57:06Yeah.

00:57:07Yeah, that's exactly where Dad said that she...

00:57:09Dad?

00:57:10She...

00:57:10Mr. Smith?

00:57:14No, no.

00:57:15There's no way.

00:57:16He looks completely different.

00:57:17The landslide nearly crushed his skull.

00:57:21The doctors had to give him a whole new face.

00:57:28Jesus Christ.

00:57:31He's my dad?

00:57:33Yeah.

00:57:3420 years ago, my family went up to a barren mountain.

00:57:48Oh, God.

00:57:52Like, today's not crazy enough.

00:57:54Jesus.

00:57:56I don't know if I'm going to 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.

00:58:04What about it?

00:58:05Wait, I'm right.

00:58:05Oh, my gosh.

00:58:06Just look at this.

00:58:08Do you recognize that photo?

00:58:11Why is this photo water damaged?

00:58:16Wait.

00:58:17Is that...

00:58:23Oh, it can't be.

00:58:24Huh.

00:58:33What do you want?

00:58:39This is Christmas.

00:58:41What is your power?

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.

00:59:00And this is what you get.

00:59:02Jerry!

00:59:03Mom, are you okay?

00:59:13The police are on their way, asshole.

00:59:15This is all her fault.

00:59:17I'm not the one who tried to run up a bowling alley.

00:59:19I'm going to kill all y'all.

00:59:22Get some rope.

00:59:23I'm going to fuck you all.

00:59:27Shut the fuck up.

00:59:31Oh, my God.

00:59:32John, you're my hero.

00:59:36I think that was enough craziness for one day.

00:59:39Let's get this asshole out of here.

00:59:42Just wait here.

00:59:43John and I got this.

00:59:44Big things on play.

00:59:46Okay.

00:59:47Let's go.

00:59:47Well, looks like someone made the naughty list this year.

01:00:06What happened to you?

01:00:07Why do you look so different?

01:00:11Why didn't you come back to me?

01:00:16What's this all about?

01:00:21Is she?

01:00:24Is she?

01:00:25Yes, ma.

01:00:28That's mom.

01:00:31And this is Tom.

01:00:35That's right.

01:00:36I didn't recognize you before.

01:00:39Tom.

01:00:41You're my son.

01:00:44Tell me this is real.

01:00:47Please.

01:00:48God.

01:00:48Are you my wife?

01:00:53The Chris that I married.

01:00:56Did you hike Anchorage 20 years ago?

01:01:01Mount Maple?

01:01:01I guess so.

01:01:07My memory.

01:01:09The accident.

01:01:10I can't remember who I was.

01:01:15My backpack.

01:01:16My ID.

01:01:18All gone.

01:01:21The only thing we have left is...

01:01:23And her.

01:01:32My God.

01:01:33How did you survive?

01:01:37A hunter.

01:01:38He found us in the woods.

01:01:40Injured and cold, but alive.

01:01:44I thought...

01:01:46I thought you?

01:01:49And Tom?

01:01:51I thought you were...

01:01:53I thought you were dead, too.

01:02:08Mom and Dad!

01:02:13Son, get in here.

01:02:14Group hug, come on.

01:02:15You know...

01:02:23I dreamed of this day a million times over, but...

01:02:29I never thought it would actually happen for real.

01:02:35It's a Christmas miracle.

01:02:37You're gonna have to start.

01:02:46It's okay.

01:02:47I'm gonna give you some.

01:02:53Man, that's not my Jesus.

01:02:55I feel like this wine is like...

01:02:57Darling...

01:02:58Are you staying tonight?

01:03:01Of course.

01:03:02I've waited over 20 years for this.

01:03:13Thank you all for...

01:03:16Joining our family here today.

01:03:18It's been a long road.

01:03:22Strange journey.

01:03:24But there is no place I'd rather be.

01:03:28After 20 years apart...

01:03:31Fate has given us the best Christmas gift of all.

01:03:34Each other.

01:03:37Merry Christmas.

01:03:38Merry Christmas.

01:03:39Merry Christmas.

01:03:39Yeah.
