00:01:43There you go, little buddy.
00:01:47What time's the flight?
00:01:48It's tomorrow.
00:01:50Early.
00:01:51Em, I feel like you've been living out of the suitcase for, like, a year.
00:01:55Don't you want to just stop?
00:01:56Yeah, well, this is me stopping.
00:01:57I'm stopping in Honolulu, and then I'm going 40 minutes to Kauai, and I'm going to do nothing but relax.
00:02:02Well, at least pack something cute.
00:02:04You might meet someone.
00:02:05Babe, unless it's a date wrapped in bacon, I'm not interested.
00:02:09It's a relaxation retreat.
00:02:11Morning, Matt.
00:02:11Are you at work already?
00:02:13It's almost 9 o'clock.
00:02:16What?
00:02:18I'm late again.
00:02:20I need you to cover for me.
00:02:22And say what?
00:02:23I don't know.
00:02:24Just anything.
00:02:24Anything that's better than last time.
00:02:27People do get their arms caught in vending machines.
00:02:29It's a thing.
00:02:30It's not a thing.
00:02:33See you.
00:02:34Morning.
00:02:35Good morning.
00:02:36I'm sorry.
00:02:37Oh, God bless you.
00:02:39Morning.
00:02:39Mood.
00:02:41Uh, I don't know.
00:02:43But, he's doing that weird clicking thing with his thumb.
00:02:49Emily.
00:02:50We need to chat.
00:02:51Daryl, I'm supposed to be nursing a sunburn in Hawaii this time tomorrow.
00:02:57Why me?
00:02:58Because you're the best creative director on the floor and I need a miracle here.
00:03:01You're my wounded kind.
00:03:03My Don Draper.
00:03:04Don Draper's one of the most tragic fictional characters in television history.
00:03:07But, he had a thing.
00:03:08You have a thing.
00:03:09I need you to do that thing.
00:03:10What thing?
00:03:11That thing where you take a nothing and turn it into a something.
00:03:14A shiny gold-plated something.
00:03:16Jerry bailed because he knew his concept was a brick.
00:03:18Look at these.
00:03:19They're awful.
00:03:20Why does he work?
00:03:20I need you to take that brick and turn it into a wall.
00:03:23No.
00:03:24A fortress.
00:03:26A gold-plated fortress.
00:03:28And I know you know what I mean.
00:03:29No.
00:03:30No.
00:03:30I know you know who it is.
00:03:32You also know that Jerry's halfway out the door and when he goes, that big cushy office of his will be up for grabs.
00:03:40I like big.
00:03:41I like cushy.
00:03:42Plus the international stuff.
00:03:44First class.
00:03:44Economy plus unlimited peanuts.
00:03:48We've got projects coming in from Toronto, London.
00:03:50A big one in the Caymans.
00:03:53You spend the next five days in Fulton spending this straw in the gold.
00:03:56I'll make sure your name goes to the top of the list.
00:03:58I'm sorry.
00:03:59Did you say Fulton?
00:04:00Christmas capital of Illinois.
00:04:01Oh, no.
00:04:02No, Daryl.
00:04:02Anywhere but there.
00:04:03I cannot go to Fulton, Illinois.
00:04:05I can hear that.
00:04:06Is that the sound of a big, cushy corner office?
00:04:09Christmas.
00:04:18Super.
00:04:19Mahalo.
00:04:20No, no, Ma.
00:04:21Train departure is at 220.
00:04:23The train arrives at 440, which means you want to be at the station.
00:04:27You're not writing any of this down.
00:04:29Are you?
00:04:30Just relax, okay?
00:04:31You still haven't confirmed whether or not Emily is going to be joining us.
00:04:34Look.
00:04:35Uh, Ma.
00:04:38We're playing that one by ear.
00:04:41So, uh, you know, lots on her plate.
00:04:42Well, she's never been here for a Christmas before.
00:04:45And not for nothing.
00:04:47But I think this new series I'm working on will look super cute.
00:04:50Yeah, Ma.
00:04:51That's great.
00:04:51I gotta go.
00:04:52I really do.
00:04:53Okay.
00:04:53But before you go, you're not going to believe what I found.
00:04:56The bomb has been planted.
00:04:59I have such a hard work.
00:05:01But I like the easy things.
00:05:03I like the best.
00:05:03I love you.
00:05:04I like the best.
00:05:06I like the best.
00:05:06I like the best.
00:05:06I like the best.
00:05:07I push, I touch, I let, I click, one X bet.
00:05:37Well, the other day, I popped into the store to pick up some.
00:05:40Matt?
00:05:42Yeah.
00:05:42Well, what about Hawaii?
00:05:43Wait, wait, wait.
00:05:47Hawaii's on hold.
00:05:48Instead, I'm going to spend the next five days in Balmy Fulton.
00:05:51Fulton.
00:05:52Isn't that where Jamie's from?
00:05:53Exactly, where you can't swing a candy cane without hitting a member of his family.
00:05:57Fun.
00:05:58Not to mention, this project needs more work than the Coliseum.
00:06:01Look at this.
00:06:04Jerry.
00:06:04Jerry.
00:06:05So, sayonara to sun, sand, and anything resembling relaxation.
00:06:11Sorry, Gina.
00:06:12Good day, everyone.
00:06:14I know that we are all eager to scray off for the holidays, but I'll keep this one short.
00:06:26You good?
00:06:31I'm good.
00:06:32I'm good, thank you.
00:06:33I'm sorry.
00:06:35Poll numbers are down, again.
00:06:39Apparently, I am too corporate, too policy-focused, not relatable enough.
00:06:44Gina, where are we with the Christmas Day address?
00:06:46Right on track.
00:06:47I'm still locking down a location, but Martin's been working on the speech.
00:06:49Right, and it reads like a thesis paper on tax reform.
00:06:53Come on, people, this is supposed to get me re-elected.
00:06:55Don't we have anyone who's clever, funny, human?
00:07:02Uh, yeah.
00:07:03Jamie can write it.
00:07:04This guy is on the writing tape?
00:07:08I'm on the, uh, I'm on the Gina team.
00:07:11I hired him last month.
00:07:12He's been writing copy for your mail-outs.
00:07:14That one you talked about with the new state smoking bylaws?
00:07:17No ifs, ands, or buts about it.
00:07:21Jamie.
00:07:22I need heartwarming, inspiring, relatable.
00:07:32My re-election depends on it.
00:07:34So please, don't let me down.
00:07:37Yes, ma'am.
00:07:38Thank you, everyone.
00:07:40Thank you, Governor.
00:07:40No ifs, ands, or buts.
00:07:43Hey, Gina.
00:07:45What just happened?
00:07:47That sounds like a pretty important campaign speech, you know?
00:07:49Why do you think I hired you?
00:07:51Pity.
00:07:52I answered too quickly, didn't I?
00:07:53I'm serious.
00:07:54You're here because you've been writing.
00:07:55Friend or not, I wouldn't have hired you if you couldn't.
00:07:58I don't think the, uh, Schmidt campaign would agree with that.
00:08:00Steve Schmidt couldn't get elected as the only person voting was his mother.
00:08:04It had nothing to do with your writing.
00:08:05Okay.
00:08:06Why did you get into politics?
00:08:08To affect change.
00:08:09To inspire, to make a difference.
00:08:12Exactly.
00:08:13And I think you just got your shot.
00:08:16Gee, gee, if I blow this, I'm not gonna be able to get a job writing parking tickets.
00:08:22So don't.
00:08:23You'll have lots of time to think about it on the train.
00:08:33Okay.
00:08:39Look who the cat dragged in.
00:08:54Oh, thank goodness, Becca.
00:08:55I thought for sure Mom got the time wrong.
00:08:57She did.
00:08:58She wrote down seven.
00:08:59But this is the last train today, so obviously.
00:09:02Emily!
00:09:02You came!
00:09:03Jamie, you was being so dodgy.
00:09:06I thought for sure maybe you guys had broken up or something.
00:09:08You just haven't told anyone.
00:09:09This is amazing.
00:09:10I'm gonna take this.
00:09:11Here.
00:09:12All right.
00:09:12Dad's double parked.
00:09:13Let's go.
00:09:13No, I'm, I'm not.
00:09:15Em, what are you doing here?
00:09:17Working.
00:09:17Uh, hey.
00:09:18Just now, your sister said she thought we broke up and you didn't tell anyone.
00:09:21Which feels like we broke up and you didn't tell anyone.
00:09:24Yeah, I noticed that too.
00:09:25It's weird.
00:09:26Are you kidding me with this?
00:09:27Guess who's here?
00:09:28Oh, there they are, huh?
00:09:32Merry Christmas.
00:09:33Hi, Pop.
00:09:34We weren't sure if you were coming.
00:09:35Hey, let me grab those.
00:09:36Oh, no, no, no.
00:09:36Oh, that's no problem.
00:09:37Hey, we gotta hurry, though.
00:09:38They weren't joking about those chickens around here.
00:09:40Your mom's gonna be thrilled.
00:09:42I'm gonna explain everything.
00:09:43I promise.
00:09:44Just give me, okay.
00:09:51The decorations are pretty tasteful this year, Pop.
00:09:53Oh, I'm not done yet.
00:09:54I was waiting for you.
00:09:55I got a few more surprises up my sleeve.
00:09:57Okay, good.
00:09:58Okay, whatever this is.
00:10:08Bro, and you're not gonna believe who's here.
00:10:11Lucy, Emily!
00:10:12Oh, my God, Scotty.
00:10:13Who are you?
00:10:14Oh, my God.
00:10:15You got so big.
00:10:15Come here.
00:10:15Can you remember?
00:10:16Oh, boom.
00:10:17Boom.
00:10:17Ah, so close.
00:10:19All right, all right.
00:10:19I'm also here.
00:10:20Can you have a candy cane?
00:10:22Just one this time.
00:10:22Of course.
00:10:24Oh, wow.
00:10:25That's too small for you, buddy.
00:10:27You can have a little bit, like two licks, okay?
00:10:29Two licks.
00:10:30Come on, Mom.
00:10:31Oh, my God.
00:10:32All right, all right.
00:10:33Oh, so happy.
00:10:34Hi, Diane.
00:10:35Yes, I'm here.
00:10:36I knew something was up with you, too.
00:10:38Oh, my goodness.
00:10:39I could feel it.
00:10:40You wanted this to be a surprise.
00:10:42A big surprise.
00:10:43Well, it is possibly the best gift I have ever had.
00:10:46Oh, come on.
00:10:47Get settled.
00:10:48We're about to do the tree.
00:10:49Oh, I love the tree.
00:10:50Mom, no.
00:10:50You don't have to do that.
00:10:51No, no, no, no, no, no.
00:10:52Dad, Dad, you don't.
00:10:54I'm not staying.
00:10:57What?
00:10:58What?
00:10:58I'm not staying for the tree decorating.
00:11:05I can't stay because I have a meeting.
00:11:08I was saddled with the last-minute project before we left, and I just need to go to a meeting in town.
00:11:15On a Saturday?
00:11:16With who?
00:11:16The Pentagon?
00:11:17Well, Tom's been baking all day long.
00:11:20Um, can you stay and have a quick nibble?
00:11:22Mom, maybe she doesn't want to have all this sugar.
00:11:24Yeah, of course.
00:11:25Sure, maybe I can stay for just a few minutes.
00:11:27I'm going to go see if Grandma's awake because she is going to be tickled to see you, right?
00:11:32I guess we're doing this now.
00:11:34Come on in.
00:11:40That's a big tree, Dad.
00:11:42Yeah.
00:11:42Is she a beauty?
00:11:43Just got her today.
00:11:44I think you need a little more ceiling.
00:11:46Aren't we supposed to let the branches settle before we decorate for balance?
00:11:50I figure you just load her up and let gravity take the wheel.
00:11:54Okay, who's ready for cookies?
00:11:55I'll take one.
00:11:56I'll take one.
00:11:56I'll get one in a minute, hon.
00:12:02Jamie, can I talk to you in the kitchen for a second, please?
00:12:04Yeah, sure.
00:12:05We can do that.
00:12:06Excuse us.
00:12:08Oh, wow, sugar.
00:12:10That's definitely three cavities at least.
00:12:12Cool, cool, cool.
00:12:12Any chance you want to explain to me why your family has no idea that she...
00:12:15I forgot the plates.
00:12:21They're not together anymore.
00:12:23Yeah, Dad, um...
00:12:25If I had to guess, and I'm just...
00:12:27I'm spitballed.
00:12:28Yeah, just...
00:12:28Okay, yeah, I think it's because I haven't told them.
00:12:31Yeah, I did the math on that.
00:12:32Yeah?
00:12:33When were you planning to tell them?
00:12:35Hot chocolate.
00:12:37Yes.
00:12:38Now, would you be a dear Emily and bring that craft along?
00:12:41Sure.
00:12:45On your mark, get set, go.
00:12:52Ah, let's go!
00:12:53Atta boy.
00:12:54Okay, if you want to put that...
00:12:56Take it over there.
00:12:57Hey, honey, tell them about your artwork and whatnot.
00:12:59I'm painting a whole series of cats.
00:13:01My little Michelle Angela.
00:13:03And she also makes Scotty's costume for the play.
00:13:04Isn't that right, kiddo?
00:13:05I'm a Christmas tree.
00:13:06Mom's directing.
00:13:07That's nice.
00:13:08Wow, look at that.
00:13:09Yeah, until they figure out I have no idea what I'm doing.
00:13:11Oh, yes, you do.
00:13:13And it's going to be spectacular.
00:13:14Em, I want to hear more about this job you're working on.
00:13:17Oh, yeah.
00:13:18Well, it's kind of exciting.
00:13:19It's the Fulton City Planning Commission.
00:13:21They want to attract new residents.
00:13:23So they're starting with a whole multi-seasonal marketing campaign starting with Christmas.
00:13:26And we launch Christmas Day.
00:13:28Sounds like a big job.
00:13:29It is, yeah.
00:13:30It's a promo reel featuring the city.
00:13:32It's print ads, social, and I'm in charge of creative.
00:13:35The really cool news is Jackie Joyner-Kersey is our spokesperson.
00:13:39What?
00:13:40No way.
00:13:41Oh, you didn't know?
00:13:45Well, I told him on the train.
00:13:47Remember I told you on the train?
00:13:48Because my camera crew is coming with her tomorrow.
00:13:52Yeah.
00:13:52Yeah.
00:13:53I remember that.
00:13:55I thought she said Jackie Joyner-Kersey.
00:14:00And I was like, what?
00:14:02The lady from the Fluff and Fold and Clark?
00:14:04That doesn't make any sense.
00:14:06Three-time Olympic gold medalist.
00:14:07That makes a whole lot more sense.
00:14:10Time's up, kiddo.
00:14:11What's my time?
00:14:12How do you do?
00:14:13Minute 18.
00:14:14Woo!
00:14:14Oh, that's good, right?
00:14:16That's good.
00:14:17Well, anyway, hopefully it's not all work, work, work for you.
00:14:20Because it can get pretty magical around here at Christmas time.
00:14:23It does.
00:14:23Yeah.
00:14:23Right?
00:14:24It certainly does.
00:14:24Yes, and, um, well, you know, it might inspire some talk of the future.
00:14:28Oh, gosh.
00:14:29Mom.
00:14:29What?
00:14:30No.
00:14:30No.
00:14:31Gee, no time like the present to talk about the future.
00:14:34Especially if these guys are planning to have babies.
00:14:37Oh, my gosh.
00:14:37Okay.
00:14:38What?
00:14:38Oh, my gosh.
00:14:39That's a carpeting worse.
00:14:40I've got to go.
00:14:41I'm so sorry.
00:14:43Thank you so much.
00:14:45Okay.
00:14:45Jamie?
00:14:46Don't care.
00:14:46I'll tell him.
00:14:48Yeah, you will, because I'm not spending the next five nights in some janky pullout on
00:14:52your parents' basement, because you didn't have the guts to tell him and he dumped me.
00:14:55Could you be talking to four?
00:14:57Too soon.
00:14:58That's too soon.
00:14:59I'm sorry.
00:15:00Two and a half months, Jamie.
00:15:01That's a really long time to be lying to your family.
00:15:03I don't even know what that is.
00:15:04Look, I wanted to tell them, okay?
00:15:05Granddad had passed.
00:15:07I knew they would be upset.
00:15:08I just wanted Christmas to be easy on everyone.
00:15:13Had I known you'd be at the train station?
00:15:17Yeah.
00:15:18I get it.
00:15:22Please just tell them tonight, okay?
00:15:28All right.
00:15:33Thank you for the lift.
00:15:34It's the least I could do.
00:15:35Well, the least I could do would be absolutely nothing, but clearly I haven't done that.
00:15:41So it's the least I should do.
00:15:43Good luck with the campaign.
00:15:48Yeah.
00:15:48And good luck with all of it.
00:15:51You've seen something that is a big deal about cost.
00:15:53You've seen something big, too.
00:15:53You've seen something big, too.

00:16:02Go on X Bat.
00:16:031X Bat.
00:16:04And go to your first match.
00:16:05We're not apart, we're just not together.
00:16:12Look, guys, we just have very different tastes in movies.
00:16:19It turns out that she is in the witness protection program and needed to relocate.
00:16:31Look, the truth is, her career was taken off.
00:16:35Well, mine was in a tailspin, and I was afraid that I wouldn't be enough.
00:16:48Hello?
00:16:50How far did you get?
00:16:54Not as far as you would think.
00:16:56The reservation was originally booked under Jerry's name, and of course only the person who books the reservation can change the reservation,
00:17:01but nobody's at the office this weekend, so I can't call them, and then my phone died, which is why I called you on a landline,
00:17:06so I can't even look for another place tonight.
00:17:08So that's what's going on, and here we are.
00:17:11Okay, so, Jackie, pull out on the couch, downstairs in the basement?
00:17:16Yeah, just for the night, please.
00:17:18Oh, hey, um, Em, you still want me to come clean about the whole you and me thing?
00:17:23And be standing on the tracks when that train comes rolling through?
00:17:27No chance.
00:17:28You've lasted this long.
00:17:29What's one more night?
00:17:32I'm good with that.
00:17:32Welcome to the 23rd Annual Dunsmore Family Secret Santa Nandera!
00:17:47Love it.
00:17:48Okay, everyone's here except for Grandma.
00:17:50Grandma!
00:17:50She's awake!
00:17:51Look at you.
00:17:52Don't you look beautiful?
00:17:53Yeah, I'm 85 and feeling twice that.
00:17:56Oh, look at you.
00:17:57Hi, it's so good to see you.
00:17:59How long has it been since...
00:18:01George's funeral.
00:18:02That's okay.
00:18:03We're not going to stand here and feel sorry for each other, are we?
00:18:05For ourselves, we're going to have a draw.
00:18:08You're absolutely right.
00:18:10Grandma.
00:18:11No, oh, guest of honor.
00:18:13Oh, good point.
00:18:14Oh, no, no, I'm not.
00:18:15I'll sit this one out.
00:18:17Wrong answer.
00:18:18No one sits out.
00:18:18Come on.
00:18:19Get in there.
00:18:19Get that paw in there.
00:18:21Come on.
00:18:21Get in there.
00:18:22Come on.
00:18:23Come on.
00:18:23Come on.
00:18:28Hide it, hide it, hide it.
00:18:29Yeah.
00:18:30Top secret.
00:18:30Top secret.
00:18:31Yeah.
00:18:31Thank you for surrendering your room to me.
00:18:37Yeah.
00:18:38I'll be fine in the playroom.
00:18:39It's like a toy store threw up down there.
00:18:41It's all your loss, really.
00:18:45Wow.
00:18:46I forgot what a party pad this place is.
00:18:47Yeah.
00:18:48No, it was very cool.
00:18:49I also placed fourth in a croquet championship, so there's also that.
00:18:54I stand corrected.
00:18:56Okay.
00:18:58So there are extra blankets in the drawers and copies of the New Yorker under the mattress
00:19:04if you need help falling asleep.
00:19:05Be up early tomorrow.
00:19:06I don't want to field questions from your family without you.
00:19:08Of course.
00:19:09Good night.
00:19:13Good night.
00:19:13Good night.
00:19:29No.
00:19:30No.
00:19:31I'm getting it.
00:19:33Not now.
00:19:33That's great.
00:19:38That's great.
00:19:38I'm getting it.
00:19:49I'm getting it.
00:19:50I'm getting it.
00:20:30Hey, there she is.
00:20:36Aren't those flannel sheets something?
00:20:37Wow, they really are. Thank you so much.
00:20:40So, how's Jamie? Is he up yet?
00:20:43I haven't seen him, but breakfast is ready if you're hungry.
00:20:46We still do a buffet style on Sundays, so get in there before the troops arrive.
00:20:49Thanks. I'm just going to go check and see.
00:20:50Thank you. I can make you a plate.
00:20:53No, I'm not really.
00:20:53No trouble at all. I'm going to give you a little bit of everything.
00:20:55There you go.
00:20:57Jamie's still sleeping?
00:20:59Sounds like somebody's running a chainsaw down there.
00:21:01Oh, poor guy. He's probably exhausted.
00:21:04Oh, yeah.
00:21:04Yeah, I bet he is.
00:21:05Yeah, poor guy.
00:21:06I just worry that he's hungry, so I should probably bring him to the room.
00:21:09Well, there's tons of food.
00:21:10Want to see the superhero I invented?
00:21:12Yes, I do. I do.
00:21:13Oh, something is burning.
00:21:15Emily, can you crack that window for me, huh?
00:21:16Oh, and the door.
00:21:17Oh, and the door, too.
00:21:18Okay, okay.
00:21:19Hey, did you want coffee? I can make some more coffee.
00:21:21What? I'll take some coffee.
00:21:22His name is Christmas Man.
00:21:23Oh, Christmas Man.
00:21:24Super cool.
00:21:25I just really need to go see if Jamie's a club.
00:21:30Oh, no.
00:21:31Looks like gravity took the wheel.
00:21:33So, you've been pretty busy with work these days, huh?
00:21:44You still traveling a fair bit?
00:21:45Uh, yeah, I am.
00:21:46And, in fact, I just, I'm up for a big promotion.
00:21:49And if I get it, boy, if I think I'm busy now, better buckle up.
00:21:53Well, it's a wonder you have any time for yourself.
00:21:55Well, that diving trip and one, I sound like a hoot.
00:21:57Oh, yeah.
00:21:57Diving trip. Not me.
00:21:59What?
00:21:59Wait, no, you went on that trip with your girlfriends.
00:22:02Yeah, that's why you didn't go to Becca's birthday.
00:22:04Oh, that diving trip.
00:22:07Right, that was so fun.
00:22:09Why don't you go on that diving trip? You don't even dive.
00:22:11Well, um, my friends were diving, but I dove into the margaritas by the pool.
00:22:18Good body.
00:22:19What was the name of that resort?
00:22:21I'm going to go wake up our little sleepyhead and see if he can jog my memory.
00:22:24Yeah, well, let him know we're going to be in the yard soon.
00:22:26Yeah.
00:22:26Meet him up here.
00:22:29Oh, what are you doing? What was that?
00:22:33Guess what? It's almost 12.
00:22:34What?
00:22:34It's almost 12.
00:22:35No, it's not.
00:22:36Yes, it is. Look at that. Look what I found.
00:22:38Oh.
00:22:38Oh.
00:22:39Oh.
00:22:40What have you been doing?
00:22:41What have I been doing? Gosh, it's just been like a fam jam bonanza. It's been so fun.
00:22:44I was drawing with Scotty. I've been dancing, Jamie. I've been dancing.
00:22:47A dirty, deceitful little jig.
00:22:49And then your parents just brought up my recent scuba diving trip, which is try as I might.
00:22:52I just couldn't remember a single thing about it. Isn't that fun?
00:22:54Uh, it does sound pretty fun.
00:22:56Yeah, it's so fun. What else have you been telling them about us, Jamie?
00:22:58Um.
00:22:59Um, um, I don't want to know. All I want you to do is get up, get dressed, go upstairs and do the yard, and then take me to my hotel.
00:23:05Because my camera crew arrives in two hours, okay?
00:23:07Yes.
00:23:17There he is. Hey, I just sleeped because you're looking a little achy.
00:23:21Oh, good, yeah. I think that mattress is stuffed with broken car parts.
00:23:25What's all this?
00:23:26We're going big this year, pal. Gotta keep up with the Joneses.
00:23:29Do the Joneses know that you're keeping up with them?
00:23:30Oh, they will.
00:23:32Yes, baby.
00:23:33Why can't we put this on the roof?
00:23:34Oh, no, buddy. Not since the incident. Come on.
00:23:37Oh, yeah. It's the incident.
00:23:39It's the incident.
00:23:40Oh, you got to tell her about the incident.
00:23:41No, no, Dad. Come on. Come on.
00:23:42Yeah, you got to tell her.
00:23:43Tell her. Tell her.
00:23:44Do you want to hear this grandpa's story?
00:23:45Yeah, sure. Sure. Yeah.
00:23:46It's Christmas morning a few years back.
00:23:49When up on the roof there arose such a clatter, but a miniature sleigh and eight tiny reindeer plummeting past the window onto the ground.
00:23:58And Becca just starts laughing.
00:24:00It's in the reflex.
00:24:01I know. And then we all start laughing, and we can't help the man. He's stuck up there.
00:24:05Oh, my God. And he's, like, screaming like a banshee.
00:24:07Get me down!
00:24:09Here comes the fire trucks. Woo-hoo!
00:24:12He was so embarrassed he didn't talk to any of us for a week.
00:24:14Was he okay?
00:24:15No, he was fine. He just wanted a bite in Rudolph's nose with some paint, and he slipped.
00:24:19Yeah, he was a legend.
00:24:25The guy really loved Christmas.
00:24:28Well, how about this? In honor of Granddad. Come on, gather around.
00:24:31All right.
00:24:32Here you go.
00:24:33We're out of the dead?
00:24:35Shall we do a countdown?
00:24:37Yeah.
00:24:37Sure, let's do it.
00:24:38All right. Ready?
00:24:40Yeah.
00:24:40Three, two, one.
00:24:53Oh, that's my phone. Sorry.
00:24:58Oh, hi. Hi, Jackie. We finally meet.
00:25:02Emily, hi. I'm afraid I have some bad news.
00:25:07What? No.
00:25:08Unfortunately, I'm not going to be able to make it.
00:25:10Oh.
00:25:10It's a massive snowstorm.
00:25:12Can you...
00:25:13And the airport is closed.
00:25:15Is there... There's no other...
00:25:17I'm so sorry.
00:25:19I'm sorry, too. I... But I really appreciate your willingness to do this, and thank you so much for trying.
00:25:28Let's connect soon.
00:25:28Okay. Best of luck. We'll talk soon, I'm sure. Okay. Bye.
00:25:34Bye, Emily.
00:25:35Bye.
00:25:40Bye.
00:25:50Apparently, my team and Ms. Joyner Kersey won't be joining me today because everything on the eastern seaboard in the air is canceled because of weather, and neither will I be able to film the lighting of the Christmas tree because of that, which is specifically requested from my client.
00:26:08So, uh, you know, if anybody wants to find me, I'm going to be hitchhiking across Mexico, living out the rest of my sad, jobless life.
00:26:15That's it. I'm just going to have to tell them it's over.
00:26:33Come on. No. Just do it yourself. Come on, like you used to in the old days. You got a camera? You film. My sister can, uh, shoot.
00:26:41Shoot, what? If I don't have a spokesperson, I don't have a campaign.
00:26:46Hold on. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. Here. Come on. Come back. Come back. Sit down. Sit down. Hear me out. Hear me out. Uh, have a seat.
00:26:55What if I got the, uh, the governor for your campaign?
00:27:01The governor of Illinois?
00:27:02Yep. Yeah.
00:27:03How are you going to get the governor of Illinois?
00:27:07Hey, Gov, it's J-Mo. Uh, you got anything cooking Christmas Day?
00:27:11Okay, maybe not quite like that, but, uh, yeah. I work with her now.
00:27:15Right.
00:27:19Oh. Really?
00:27:23What are you, speech writing?
00:27:24Yeah.
00:27:26As a matter of fact, I am doing the televised Christmas Day address.
00:27:30Congratulations. I'm really happy for you.
00:27:36Okay, so, what do you say?
00:27:40What's the catch?
00:27:42It's a catch. Come on.
00:27:43There's no catch.
00:27:44Okay, small catch.
00:27:47You stay here with us for a week.
00:27:51Let me just, you know, play along with the current appearances of things.
00:27:55Just so that my family can enjoy Christmas drama-free.
00:27:59Please.
00:27:59Do you understand what a terrible idea that is?
00:28:05Yes.
00:28:06And you still want to do it?
00:28:08Yes.
00:28:10You really think you can get the governor?
00:28:12Oh, yeah.
00:28:13In a heartbeat, she loves me.
00:28:23All right.
00:28:25You got a deal.
00:28:27Sweetie.
00:28:29Let's go see my sister about dusting off her camera.
00:28:41These are fully necessary?
00:28:43Tradition.
00:28:44For grandpa.
00:28:45Okay.
00:28:45You guys ready?
00:28:46Yeah.
00:28:47All right.
00:28:47Squeeze in.
00:28:48I'm ready.
00:28:49Peppermint.
00:28:50And peppermint.
00:28:51Peppermint.
00:28:55Five, four, three, two, one.
00:28:59All right.
00:29:07Well, we got that.
00:29:07What's next?
00:29:08I'm thinking funnel cake.
00:29:10I love the funnel cake.
00:29:13All right.
00:29:14I think we can take this vest off now.
00:29:16Go ahead.
00:29:16Take your shots.
00:29:17Karaoke starts now.
00:29:25Hey, everyone.
00:29:26We have our first volunteers.
00:29:28That's us.
00:29:28All right, Dunsmore, let's do this.
00:29:29Come on.
00:29:30We got to go.
00:29:30We got to go.
00:29:32Come on.
00:29:33You guys.
00:29:33No, I'm just here to record.
00:29:35I'm here to watch her record.
00:29:37You know what?
00:29:37Can you take pictures?
00:29:38Yeah.
00:29:39Let's do this.
00:29:40Nice try, buzzkill.
00:29:42I was like a bear try.
00:29:43Hey, Dunsmore, get up here.
00:29:45Yes.
00:29:46Lean your ear this way.
00:29:49Don't you tell a single soul what I'm going to say.
00:29:53Hey.
00:29:53A Christmas year is coming soon.
00:29:56Now you hear all last.
00:29:58Whisper what you'll bring to me.
00:30:00Tell me if you can.
00:30:02When the clock is striking twelve, when I'm fast asleep.
00:30:08Down the chimney, broad and black, with your pack you'll see.
00:30:12All the stocking duels, hanging in a row.
00:30:17Mine will be the shortest one.
00:30:19You'll be sure to know.
00:30:22Woo!
00:30:27So did you get all the shots that you need?
00:30:29Yeah, I did.
00:30:30You know, your sister is really good.
00:30:32She should be doing this professionally.
00:30:33Yeah.
00:30:34I mean, I think that was the idea, you know?
00:30:35Yeah.
00:30:37But the best laid plans.
00:30:40Yep.
00:30:41I know.
00:30:42It's too early to tell, but I think Grand's got a real bright future as a rock star.
00:30:50Hey, don't short-hand yourself there, Elvis.
00:30:53No, get out of here.
00:30:54I wasn't even singing.
00:30:55Yeah, but you had presents.
00:30:57No.
00:30:58Really?
00:30:59No, you look like he wanted the stage to swallow you alive.
00:31:01Of course not.
00:31:02All right, all right.
00:31:03You had the same look on your face you did the night we met at Stacey's Broadway karaoke night.
00:31:06Broadway karaoke thing.
00:31:06Oh, no.
00:31:07What was I doing there?
00:31:09I didn't know a single person.
00:31:11I talked to no one.
00:31:12You talked to me.
00:31:13Yeah, that's where the exit was.
00:31:15Please.
00:31:16I remember the dress I was wearing that night.
00:31:18Yeah, I remember that, too.
00:31:20You were so sweet, giving me your sweater, getting me a cab, getting my number.
00:31:27Just cashing me your sweater.
00:31:28I had to make sure I got it back.
00:31:29Well, you better make it good.
00:31:35Yes, or it's seven years bad luck.
00:31:37Uh-huh.
00:31:39Come on.
00:31:40Oh.
00:31:42Oh.
00:31:44That's a good one.
00:31:47Uncle Jamie, come watch me play candy cane toss.
00:31:51Yeah.
00:31:51Yeah.
00:31:59All right.
00:32:18So, you're going to go right here.
00:32:20Where?
00:32:21Sorry.
00:32:21Over there.
00:32:22Okay.
00:32:23Hey.
00:32:24Yep.
00:32:24We're solid, right?
00:32:25This governor thing is happening.
00:32:27Oh, yeah.
00:32:28Yeah.
00:32:29100%.
00:32:29Okay.
00:32:32Yeah.
00:32:32Good luck.
00:32:39Okay.
00:32:39Come on, Gina.
00:32:41I need you to come through here.
00:32:45The governor is on a tear today.
00:32:48How's the speech?
00:32:49Where are we at?
00:32:49Good, good, yeah.
00:32:50I mean, Rome wasn't built in a day.
00:32:52She's on me.
00:32:54This needs to make an impact.
00:32:56Did you pitch my idea about doing the speech here?
00:32:59She can shake some hands, kiss some babies, slide down the hill in a homemade toboggan.
00:33:02Doesn't get more relatable than that, Gina.
00:33:04I mentioned it, but she has a family.
00:33:06Traveling on cruise this morning, it's a tough sell.
00:33:08I hear you.
00:33:09But just stay on her, you know?
00:33:11Definitely just stay on her.
00:33:13Because it's a good idea.
00:33:15And I think you should just stay on her.
00:33:22What do you mean Jackie's not coming?
00:33:24Her flight was canceled due to the weather, so there's nothing...
00:33:26But that's our whole campaign.
00:33:29Yes.
00:33:29If you can't beat her, join her.
00:33:31I know, I realize that, so...
00:33:33So, what are we paying you for here?
00:33:35Well, I'm just...
00:33:37I think we're going to push the whole thing, okay?
00:33:39Thank you for your time.
00:33:40No, what if I told you that I could get you a big, splashy, televised Christmas Day speech
00:33:43right on your front lawn?
00:33:45From who?
00:33:46The governor of Illinois.
00:33:47That's what you have our attention.
00:33:51Okay.
00:34:05What are you hiding?
00:34:07What?
00:34:08You're hiding something.
00:34:09What is it?
00:34:10Is it something with Emily?
00:34:11Emily?
00:34:13No.
00:34:16No, we're just stressed.
00:34:17You know, big dreams, big pressure.
00:34:20Tell me about it.
00:34:23Oh, come on.
00:34:25This is great.
00:34:26You've been talking about directing one of these things for years.
00:34:28It's not exactly how I imagined using my film degree.
00:34:32It's not exactly how I imagined anything.
00:34:34How's the love life these days?
00:34:36Anybody, uh, special catching your eye?
00:34:38Well, let's see.
00:34:39I'm a single mom who works part-time at an art gallery and lives with my parents, so
00:34:44I would have better luck finding romance at the bottom of a cereal box.
00:34:47Okay, come on.
00:34:48It can't be that bad.
00:34:49Well, there was one.
00:34:51Really?
00:34:52Smart.
00:34:53Okay.
00:34:54Ambitious.
00:34:55Yeah?
00:34:55Funny.
00:34:57And?
00:34:58We fell in love.
00:35:00And then we got married.
00:35:02And I realized I wanted to adopt.
00:35:04She decided she didn't and moved to Ellen.
00:35:07Permission to get real with you for a second?
00:35:08I preferred she didn't.
00:35:10Okay, here we go.
00:35:10Becca?
00:35:12You have so much to offer, and you are going to find that person again.
00:35:17Maybe you need to change things up a little bit.
00:35:19Why don't you come to Chicago?
00:35:20Scotty would thrive there.
00:35:22Yeah, I know.
00:35:23I know.
00:35:24It's just...
00:35:25It's big.
00:35:26It's starting all over again.
00:35:28Yeah?
00:35:29As much as I complain about mom and dad.
00:35:32Having them around, it's like it just fills in the missing pieces.
00:35:36Yeah, I get that.
00:35:38I get that.
00:35:39Mom.
00:35:43I knew it.
00:35:44I look ridiculous.
00:35:45No, buddy.
00:35:46No, no, no, no, no, no.
00:35:47Come on.
00:35:47You look...
00:35:48You look perfect.
00:35:49Perfect.
00:35:51Is it the best costume?
00:35:53No, no.
00:35:54But does it matter?
00:35:55No.
00:35:56No.
00:35:56Because you know, and I know, and Uncle Jamie knows that...
00:35:59I know.
00:36:00...no matter what anybody says, you are extraordinary.
00:36:04Yeah.
00:36:05And...
00:36:05Powerful.
00:36:06Powerful, yes.
00:36:07And unique.
00:36:08Unique.
00:36:09That's the word.
00:36:10That's the word.
00:36:11Come here.
00:36:11You're at his parents' place.
00:36:31Are you nuts?
00:36:32Are you guys...
00:36:33No.
00:36:34I mean, it's complicated.
00:36:35Also, hi.
00:36:36So, you're not back together, but you kind of are.
00:36:38Em, you were shattered.
00:36:40I know.
00:36:40Believe me, I...
00:36:41Remember, but, you know, it's...
00:36:44I kind of don't have a choice.
00:36:46He got me the governor.
00:36:47Whoa.
00:36:48Legit?
00:36:48Yeah.
00:36:49He's working with her now.
00:36:50And, honestly, even with the governor, I still have to rework this entire concept.
00:36:54And I'm just...
00:36:55Right now, I'm really not seeing it.
00:36:58Okay.
00:36:59Charades are starting.
00:37:00Okay.
00:37:01All right.
00:37:01I got to go.
00:37:01We're going to do Christmas charades.
00:37:03I really hope you know what you're doing.
00:37:05Bang.
00:37:05Jumping.
00:37:05Exciting.
00:37:06Exciting.
00:37:07Uh, right here.
00:37:08Right here.
00:37:08Jumping.
00:37:09Uh, what?
00:37:11Grandma.
00:37:11Grandma.
00:37:12Grandma.
00:37:12Grandma.
00:37:12Grandma, go.
00:37:13Run over by a reindeer.
00:37:13Oh, yes!
00:37:14Oh, yes!
00:37:14Oh, yes!
00:37:14Oh, yes!
00:37:15Oh, yes!
00:37:16Oh, yes!
00:37:16You got the best!
00:37:17You pointed at me, right?
00:37:18We got to do it.
00:37:19We got to do it.
00:37:20We got to do it.
00:37:21Oh, God.
00:37:22Oh, God.
00:37:22It's okay?
00:37:23You fight her now.
00:37:24Go!
00:37:25First word.
00:37:26Sorry.
00:37:26Dear.
00:37:27Oh, sad.
00:37:27Sad.
00:37:28Oh, really sad.
00:37:29Sad monkey.
00:37:29Oh, see.
00:37:30Oh, wow.
00:37:31She's so sad.
00:37:32Oh, it's a sad song you're talking about.
00:37:34Too many drinks?
00:37:35Drink too much?
00:37:36Second word?
00:37:36Second word?
00:37:37Second word.
00:37:38She looks like she's waiting.
00:37:39She used carlots.
00:37:39One might say she had too many drinks.
00:37:41Say too many drinks one more time, please.
00:37:43Three!
00:37:43Oh!
00:37:44Oh, God!
00:37:46There we go.
00:37:46It's a sad face plus Lula.
00:37:48You look like you're coming home from the bar.
00:37:50Blue Hawaii!
00:37:51I'm supposed to be there in, like, three days.
00:37:52You know this.
00:37:53What?
00:37:55Did you?
00:37:55What did you just say?
00:37:56You just said you're going to Hawaii.
00:37:58On Christmas Day?
00:37:59No, I'm not, because I'm here, so I'm not.
00:38:03It was a gift for me.
00:38:04Wait.
00:38:05You weren't going to go?
00:38:06No.
00:38:07I don't know.
00:38:08I don't like, uh, I don't really like it.
00:38:09Fun?
00:38:10Or anything resembling it?
00:38:11Yeah, that.
00:38:12Yeah, we thought, we thought, why would we go lay on the beach?
00:38:17I mean, why would anybody do that on Christmas?
00:38:20Silly.
00:38:20That's so silly.
00:38:21Silly.
00:38:22When you could be here.
00:38:24Yeah.
00:38:24Aw.
00:38:25Family.
00:38:25We're glad you stayed.
00:38:26Yeah.
00:38:27And I don't know why.
00:38:28I mean, we feel anybody else?
00:38:28And then I think we should do another round.
00:38:30Okay.
00:38:30Can we make something?
00:38:31Yes.
00:38:32When it takes the crown.
00:38:32When it takes the crown.
00:38:34Oh, I hope we have a pencil, because I'm going to give you my hat sacks.
00:38:36It's pretty sad.
00:38:37Like, you were saying anything.
00:38:38Let's go.
00:38:41Boy, there's something weird going on.
00:38:52You got some explaining to do.
00:38:56Oh, my God.
00:39:06Turn on Becca She-Shed.
00:39:10Wow.
00:39:11I love what you've done with the place.
00:39:13Spill it.
00:39:14Everything.
00:39:15Now.
00:39:15I ended things in October, and for reasons I would rather not discuss, decided not to
00:39:20tell anybody.
00:39:22Okay.
00:39:23Yeah.
00:39:24So, why is she still here?
00:39:27For work, believe it or not.
00:39:30Meeting at the train station was just a fluke, and then Dad suddenly hauling her luggage to
00:39:35the car, and, well, here we are now.
00:39:38So, she got Dunsmore'd?
00:39:40The most.
00:39:41Oh, no.
00:39:43I'm sorry.
00:39:44That's funny.
00:39:45Good.
00:39:46I'm glad you're enjoying this.
00:39:48When her team canceled, we made a deal.
00:39:51I would get the governor for her campaign, and she would, um...
00:39:54You know.
00:39:57Pretend like you're still together.
00:39:58Yes.
00:39:59Uh-huh.
00:40:00Ow!
00:40:03Why?
00:40:04What is wrong with you?
00:40:05I know, you know, and I know.
00:40:07Okay?
00:40:08I just...
00:40:09I am well aware of how much you guys love her.
00:40:14And grad dad has happened, and Christmas, everybody's favorite holiday is right around
00:40:18the corner, and...
00:40:20I didn't want you guys to be hurting like I was hurting.
00:40:23Jamie.
00:40:24For the last two years, every word out of your mouth has been, Emily this, Emily that.
00:40:28I thought you were ready to get down on one knee for that girl.
00:40:30Things change.
00:40:31People change.
00:40:32I decided it...
00:40:34wasn't a good fit.
00:40:36Long term.
00:40:36Why?
00:40:37Because she's amazing?
00:40:39Smart?
00:40:40Funny?
00:40:40Crushing it career-wise?
00:40:42Exactly.
00:40:44I'm not.
00:40:46We were going two different directions.
00:40:48Two very different directions.
00:40:51And I didn't want to be the one...
00:40:53to hold her back.
00:40:55Okay.
00:40:58And now you're not holding her at all.
00:41:04Yeah.
00:41:05Look, can you please just keep this to yourself?
00:41:09She leaves Christmas Day, I'll break the news when she's gone.
00:41:16I love you.
00:41:18And I support you.
00:41:21But you're wrong here.
00:41:22So, if you don't marry her, I'm going to have to marry her myself, because one way or another,
00:41:26we're keeping that girl in this family.
00:41:38Good morning.
00:41:39How's your speech coming?
00:41:42Good.
00:41:43Powerful.
00:41:44Come on.
00:41:44Where are you going?
00:41:45I'm just going to go out in town and see if I can find some inspiration of my own.
00:41:50Well, that's nice.
00:41:52Um, Maeve, can I make a suggestion?
00:41:54Sure.
00:41:54If you go somewhere, go hit, um, State Street.
00:41:58Winter Gardens.
00:41:59But don't enter off from Maine.
00:42:02Go to the park.
00:42:03Actually, no, Briar.
00:42:04You know what?
00:42:05Maybe I just go with you.
00:42:07I could use a...
00:42:08A break.
00:42:08This is going so well.
00:42:09Are you procrastinating?
00:42:11Am I your excuse?
00:42:12No, no.
00:42:13This is going really well.
00:42:14All right, come on.
00:42:19So the campaign...
00:42:20Sorry.
00:42:20The campaign is about Fulton, but it can't just be like...
00:42:24How big a day is.
00:42:26I have saved 10 people to now.
00:42:28And now I'm going to the place where I get money quickly and I get a big deal.
00:42:33One X Bat.
00:42:34So many people have won so much money, but you can get from a few people.
00:42:38One X Bat.
00:42:39Sattie Baji's company.
00:42:42Here, can I hold this?
00:42:43Yeah, yeah.
00:42:43It can't just be a bunch of boring stock photos or even a celebrity spokesperson.
00:42:48It really needs to be a hook.
00:42:50A hook.
00:42:51Like a story within a story.
00:42:52Within the story.
00:42:52You know what I mean?
00:42:53Yeah.
00:42:53You know what?
00:42:54I'll never forget.
00:42:55Remember the campaign you came up with for that tea company?
00:42:57How it was about...
00:42:58Not the tea, but the...
00:42:59But the time spent enjoying it.
00:43:01Yes.
00:43:01Yes.
00:43:02This was brilliant.
00:43:03That was really, really good.
00:43:04Although, if you recall, you're actually the one who came up with that verbiage.
00:43:08I just sort of unearthed the concept.
00:43:11I think you're giving me too much credit.
00:43:14Okay.
00:43:15You ready?
00:43:16Yeah.
00:43:16Where to?
00:43:17Turn around.
00:43:17Turn around.
00:43:18I give you State Street.
00:43:22Once a paltry pit stop for one of the busiest trade routes in the Midwest.
00:43:25Now, a thriving shopping and entertainment district.
00:43:29This is where our tour begins.
00:43:30How am I doing?
00:43:30Great.
00:43:31I'm riveted.
00:43:32Yeah, continue.
00:43:33We shall walk.
00:43:34We shall eat.
00:43:36We shall endeavor to unearth the story within the story that is Fulton, Illinois.
00:43:40Oh, I left my camera in the coffee shop.
00:43:48Thank you, my friend.
00:43:51Break a sweat yet?
00:43:53These hot dogs are like lunch for a week.
00:43:55I know.
00:43:56Here, watch this thing.
00:43:58If you finish it, though, you'll win a card.
00:44:00You know, my school used to be right over there.
00:44:02Where?
00:44:03Right there.
00:44:04You see it?
00:44:05Oh.
00:44:06That's so cool.
00:44:07Yeah.
00:44:09How was that?
00:44:11Your mom working in the front office and your dad driving the bus.
00:44:14Oh, yeah.
00:44:15It was so cool.
00:44:18I thought it was open mic night every day.
00:44:20It was singing and wearing funny t-shirts and joking around.
00:44:25Yeah.
00:44:25It was the best.
00:44:27But.
00:44:28But?
00:44:30I got teased for it so much.
00:44:32Oh.
00:44:33Really?
00:44:34Yes.
00:44:35Stinks?
00:44:36Yeah, it's not fun.
00:44:37Kids can be mean.
00:44:38Yeah.
00:44:42Do you think that's why you're maybe so particular?
00:44:46Like, if everything's perfect, there's nothing to poke fun at?
00:44:51I don't know.
00:44:51I never thought about that.
00:44:53I mean, I'm not judging you.
00:44:54You know my story.
00:44:56Bouncing around from military base to base.
00:44:59It's hard to let people in if you know you're going to leave.
00:45:02Yeah.
00:45:03Sounds lonely.
00:45:05For both of us.
00:45:08Yeah.
00:45:10And here we are, full circle.
00:45:12Locals call this area Little Chicago.
00:45:14In fact, Melody's, once a famous mob hangout, is where the man himself, Al Capone, used
00:45:20to throw his legendary Christmas parties.
00:45:22Really?
00:45:23That's right.
00:45:24Wow.
00:45:25Politicians, movie stars, it was a who's who.
00:45:28He would dress up as Santa and hand out cash jewelry.
00:45:32Make everybody sing Christmas carols.
00:45:34Really?
00:45:35No.
00:45:35No, I made that part out.
00:45:37Why do I always fall for your ridiculous stories?
00:45:39Because you secretly love him.
00:45:41Well?
00:45:44Don't you stand there?
00:45:45Buy me a drink.
00:45:47Yes, ma'am.
00:45:48Um, hey, I wanted to ask you something.
00:45:50Did you notice something a little bit off about Jamie lately?
00:45:53Like, especially when he's around Emily.
00:45:55It could be anything.
00:45:56Remember the whole week I proposed?
00:45:58It's like my body was taken over by an alien.
00:46:00Yeah.
00:46:00Earth to time.
00:46:02Wait a sec.
00:46:02I read somewhere that Christmas Day is the most popular day of the year to propose.
00:46:09And when I mentioned it to Jamie the other night, he got really uncomfortable.
00:46:13You don't think that he's planning to propose?
00:46:16Oh, yeah.
00:46:17Oh!
00:46:20Best Christmas ever!
00:46:23Get you, get you, get you, get you.
00:46:27A walker for two?
00:46:29Down front, right.
00:46:29Okay, thank you.
00:46:30You bet.
00:46:31Sir, go ahead.
00:46:32Please, please, after you.
00:46:34Thank you very much.
00:46:38Haven't done this in a while.
00:46:39Oh, thank you.
00:46:41No, we haven't.
00:46:42No, we haven't.
00:46:44Cheers.
00:46:47So, work good?
00:46:49Yeah, works great.
00:46:51Yeah, I've been having fun.
00:46:53And, um, the guy that I told you about, Jerry, the guy who does all the international stuff.
00:46:58Yes.
00:46:59He's on his way out.
00:46:59Oh, no way.
00:47:01So, I'm next in line.
00:47:02Wow.
00:47:03You get to pick up the international stuff.
00:47:05That's what you've always wanted.
00:47:07Yep.
00:47:07It's exciting.
00:47:08And you, the governor.
00:47:09I mean, how did that happen?
00:47:11Oh, Gina.
00:47:12Yeah, she brought me on about a Monday ago.
00:47:13And you're doing the Christmas Day address.
00:47:15I mean, wow.
00:47:16Cool.
00:47:17I mean, you have been...
00:47:18Struggling?
00:47:19No.
00:47:20You can say it.
00:47:20No, I was going to say, you've been working really hard.
00:47:22You've been working hard to get to this point.
00:47:25It's really great.
00:47:26So, what's the gist of the speech?
00:47:29Uh, well, you know, it's the usual.
00:47:30It's like Christmas and political stuff.
00:47:34All right.
00:47:39Okay, it was a few weeks after we met, and you were writing copy at City Hall, and I was
00:47:44in the old buildings in the West Loop.
00:47:46Yeah, yeah.
00:47:47And there was that place.
00:47:48What was that place called?
00:47:49And we would meet there, and it had the pink...
00:47:50Pink umbrellas.
00:47:51Patio umbrellas.
00:47:52Yes, yes, yes.
00:47:53I love that place.
00:47:53Yes, yes, yes.
00:47:54We would sit there for hours and just talk about everything, and life, and dreams, and...
00:48:04What happened to that?
00:48:10Well, you, uh, you jumped up to creative director.
00:48:13Started taking the out-of-town jobs, and it's hard to stay up all night talking, and we're
00:48:171,500 miles apart.
00:48:27You bet.
00:48:27Thanks.
00:48:29You want me to take one for the lovely couple?
00:48:31Oh, no, we're not together.
00:48:32Thanks.
00:48:33My apologies.
00:48:34Just pretending to be.
00:48:35No, no, she's kidding.
00:48:36We're a couple.
00:48:36I'm not kidding.
00:48:37We're a couple of frauds.
00:48:38I mean, we used to be together until this guy decided to pull a ripcord.
00:48:41I really wish I hadn't stepped out of a meeting to take that call.
00:48:43I found out that his family doesn't know that we're not together, and so now I am staying
00:48:50with them until Christmas in exchange for the governor of Illinois.
00:48:52Well, we've all been there, right?
00:48:57Thank you so much.
00:48:59Glad we did that.
00:49:03And yes, and they're smiling at me.
00:49:12It's like they're mocking me, and I can't look at her the same since then.
00:49:15Oh, God.
00:49:16I'm sorry.
00:49:17There it is.
00:49:18Don't you apologize for that.
00:49:19It's never a successful day unless I get one snort laugh.
00:49:23This is great.
00:49:23Well, then, success.
00:49:26Yes.
00:49:27Yes.
00:49:33Seriously, though, today was...
00:49:36Yeah, yeah, it was.
00:49:38And informative.
00:49:40Yeah, educational, even.
00:49:47I love these homemade ornaments.
00:49:49Each one tells a little story.
00:49:51Very unique.
00:49:52Like, Granddad used to have us make them every year.
00:49:55I don't know.
00:49:56I don't know.
00:49:56Whatever we could find, and the collection just kept growing and growing.
00:50:00It's like a little map of your childhood.
00:50:02It's really sweet.
00:50:03I never had anything like that.
00:50:05I don't know.
00:50:08It's just a little done one.
00:50:09It looks like some kind of young model, I think.
00:50:12No, I know that's you.
00:50:13I would know that face anywhere.
00:50:15Bowl cut or not.
00:50:17Yep.
00:50:18Look at those eyes.
00:50:19Same eyes.
00:50:20Yep, still close together.
00:50:22No, curious.
00:50:24Intelligent.
00:50:26Guarded.
00:50:29Even then, you had a whole world going on that nobody else had access to.
00:50:34Oh.
00:50:34I guess I haven't changed much.
00:50:41Well, don't.
00:50:43It's part of your charm.
00:50:44I mean.
00:50:44No, no, no.
00:50:45Leave it there.
00:50:45That was very nice.
00:50:49Where are you going?
00:50:53Come on.
00:50:53I can't believe I didn't think to show you this earlier.
00:51:00This is one of my favorite things.
00:51:01Come here.
00:51:02Well, beautiful.
00:51:03Yes.
00:51:04What's the thing about being at 11, 13 in the evening?
00:51:07Oh, when has that ever bothered you?
00:51:08Come here.
00:51:08You made that comment about how each ornament tells a little story.
00:51:13And I realized that the real heartbeat of this town, of any town, really, it's not hot dog stands or jazz clubs.
00:51:20It's the people.
00:51:21And their stories.
00:51:23Exactly.
00:51:23Hold this.
00:51:24Why am I holding this?
00:51:25What do you want?
00:51:25There we go.
00:51:30Come here.
00:51:30Give me your hand.
00:51:34Oh, what is this?
00:51:35Oh, they all have writing on them.
00:51:37Yes, they do.
00:51:39Since forever, it's been a Fulton tradition that every couple that gets married here writes their initials on a stone and drops it in the fountain.
00:51:47Well, that's a little bit romantic.
00:51:48Yes.
00:51:49And I've always been fascinated by the idea that each stone tells a story of two entirely separate worlds forged together as one.
00:51:57And with each stone placed, the story is born anew.
00:52:00And the promise of chapters yet to be written.
00:52:04Yeah.
00:52:05Chapters.
00:52:06Stories.
00:52:07Chapters.
00:52:08I like this.
00:52:10Fulton, your stories begin.
00:52:13Chapter.
00:52:14Fulton, your story starts here.
00:52:17That's so good.
00:52:18That's it.
00:52:19You like that?
00:52:19That's such a good hook.
00:52:21Okay, good.
00:52:22Yay!
00:52:22That's it.
00:52:23Fulton, your story starts here.
00:52:26Yes, now put the stone back since it's somebody else's story.
00:52:28Oh, yes, here.
00:52:28Ready to go.
00:52:29Be free.
00:52:30Be happy.
00:52:31Fulton.
00:52:32Fulton!
00:52:33Fulton, your story starts here!
00:52:35That's right.
00:52:36Don't let anybody sleep tonight.
00:52:39Come here.
00:52:40Let's go now.
00:52:41Yeah.
00:52:41Let's go.
00:52:43Two.
00:52:43Two.
00:52:43Two.
00:52:43Two.
00:52:44Two.
00:52:44Two.
00:52:44Two.
00:52:44Two.
00:52:44Two.
00:52:45Two.
00:52:46Two.
00:52:47Oh, this is fun.
00:52:53You happy you figured that out?
00:52:54Mm-hmm.
00:52:55Yeah.
00:52:55Thank you for all of this, for everything.
00:53:01And the governor.
00:53:02I know that was not an easy ask.
00:53:05You really came through.
00:53:09Yeah.
00:53:13Hey, Gina.
00:53:14Uh, hate to bug you again, but I really need you to push to have that speech happen here.
00:53:21It's incredibly important to me.
00:53:24And the truth is, I'm in a bit of a blind.
00:53:28Okay, call me back.
00:53:36Shopping for anybody in particular?
00:53:38Oh, yes.
00:53:39Me?
00:53:40Me?
00:53:40No.
00:53:41You?
00:53:42Yes.
00:53:42Me?
00:53:43No.
00:53:43Who?
00:53:44Well, either you sorely misjudged Scotty's sock size, or you pulled your dad's name.
00:53:54Socks?
00:53:55Really?
00:53:55Mm-hmm.
00:53:56Have you ever had a good pair of socks?
00:53:58And they're practical.
00:54:00Yeah, but so's homeowner's insurance.
00:54:01Nobody wants to get it for Christmas.
00:54:04Yeah, right.
00:54:05Look.
00:54:05Look at these.
00:54:06Get your dad something he can use, like these.
00:54:08Look, so we got potholders, we got an apron, look at that cute little apron.
00:54:13I'd just encourage him.
00:54:14So he's not Martha Stewart.
00:54:16Your dad knows that he's not a good cook, but he loves it anyway, and there's something
00:54:20to be said for that.
00:54:21There's also something to be said for warm feet.
00:54:24Don't you have your own shopping to do?
00:54:25Yeah, I'm not buying socks.
00:54:26Hold on, I'm gonna take this.
00:54:28Excuse me.
00:54:29Gee, hey.
00:54:30Any word?
00:54:31The word is, you owe me big.
00:54:35Big.
00:54:36She's in.
00:54:37She wants hands to shake, babies to kiss the whole thing.
00:54:39Gina, I cannot.
00:54:41You can thank me by grabbing me from the train station this afternoon.
00:54:44Looks like I'm spending Christmas in Fulton.
00:54:52Hi.
00:54:53Hi.
00:54:54Did you win a cruise?
00:54:55Met her.
00:54:56When?
00:54:57Where's the fire?
00:54:58My musical director just busted an ankle, and he's in the show, so I have to recast
00:55:02the part.
00:55:03No time.
00:55:06That's strange.
00:55:11What size are you?
00:55:16Ooh.
00:55:17Nope.
00:55:18Not a million years am I wearing that.
00:55:20On that.
00:55:21Uh, yeah, you are.
00:55:22Because if you don't, I'll tell.
00:55:24Tell what?
00:55:25What are you, eight?
00:55:27You gonna tell on me?
00:55:28Does she know?
00:55:29Do you know?
00:55:30Oh, I do know.
00:55:31And I know we'd like to think I'm above resorting to something like this, but desperate
00:55:34times, my friends.
00:55:35You do the play, or I spill the beans.
00:55:38We don't negotiate with terrorists.
00:55:39Hi, Mom.
00:55:40Jamie has something he'd like to tell you.
00:55:42Jamie?
00:55:43Is everything all right?
00:55:44Yeah.
00:55:45Um, look.
00:55:50The thing is...
00:55:51Yeah?
00:55:52I'm in a play.
00:55:53Oh, honey, that's so exciting.
00:55:55It's so exciting.
00:55:56I don't know why you're smiling.
00:56:01You're gonna be running the confetti cannon.
00:56:03Welcome to showbiz, kids.
00:56:04It's dog-eat-dog out here.
00:56:07I'm probably not qualified for that.
00:56:09If I'm doing it, you're doing it.
00:56:13Both of you have witnessed me dance, okay?
00:56:14It's not natural.
00:56:15It's like someone swinging around a bag of random body parts.
00:56:17I really need to work.
00:56:19I'm not hearing it.
00:56:20Maybe this hasn't occurred to you, but there will be fallout from this little farce of
00:56:24yours, and who's gonna be left picking up the pieces, huh?
00:56:27Okay.
00:56:28Look, all I'm asking is five minutes of your respective time at the end of my play.
00:56:33And you're doing it.
00:56:34End of story.
00:56:35All right, this has been fun.
00:56:40I gotta go pick up Gina from the train station.
00:56:42She's coming into prayer.
00:56:43Can I borrow your car?
00:56:44You don't drive stick?
00:56:45Can I borrow your car with you inside of it driving?
00:56:48Thank you kindly.
00:56:50Oh, wow.
00:56:51I can't believe you never learned to drive stick.
00:56:54Oh!
00:56:55Hi.
00:56:56Working, are ya?
00:56:57Just kidding.
00:56:58I'm kidding.
00:56:59You do whatever you want to do.
00:57:00Oh, I'm gonna finish that one.
00:57:02All right.
00:57:03What does she look like?
00:57:04I don't know.
00:57:05She's got brown hair, two eyes, a face.
00:57:08She kind of looks like, uh...
00:57:10Jamie.
00:57:11Like that.
00:57:12Gina!
00:57:13Thank you so much.
00:57:16Anything for you?
00:57:17This is my sister.
00:57:18Hi.
00:57:19Hi.
00:57:20Gina.
00:57:21Becca.
00:57:22I've heard so much about you.
00:57:23Jamie invited me out for dinner tonight.
00:57:24Will you be joining?
00:57:26Um...
00:57:29Yep.
00:57:30Come on.
00:57:33I always wanted a cat too.
00:57:34Really?
00:57:35Yeah, but, um...
00:57:36And I'm not allergic, but I grew up moving around so much that, um...
00:57:40I guess it just wasn't very practical to have a pet, and now I'm always on the go, so...
00:57:45Yeah.
00:57:46Too many houses, and never really a home.
00:57:51Do you know who we think the world of you?
00:57:54You always have a home here with us.
00:57:57Thanks.
00:58:04All right.
00:58:05So, Jamie...
00:58:06Oh, yeah.
00:58:07Tell us about, uh, your part in the play.
00:58:08Jamie's filling in for Mr. Price.
00:58:10I heard.
00:58:11Yeah.
00:58:12You're in a play?
00:58:13Barely.
00:58:14By barely, you mean closing out the entire show.
00:58:16Ooh.
00:58:17What?
00:58:18Welcome to Mama Moroni's.
00:58:20Thanks.
00:58:21Oh.
00:58:22Could you get some water?
00:58:23Yeah.
00:58:24Put a hole into the elbow.
00:58:25It's all that trash.
00:58:26To recycle the air on the airplane.
00:58:27It's terrible.
00:58:28You know, you look really familiar.
00:58:32I know what it is.
00:58:33You guys came into Melody's the other night.
00:58:35I was your server.
00:58:36You told me that crazy story.
00:58:37I don't know.
00:58:38I mean, who's in charge here?
00:58:39This table has quite the wobble.
00:58:40I'm a little help.
00:58:44That's insane.
00:58:45Great idea.
00:58:46Nothing suspicious about this.
00:58:47We need to escape.
00:58:48We need to escape now.
00:58:49How, Batman?
00:58:50You guys good?
00:58:52Almost got it.
00:58:55Just, uh...
00:58:56There you go.
00:58:57Oh, he's got the coaster.
00:58:58Problem solved.
00:58:59There's little feet.
00:59:00There's little sabotage feet.
00:59:01Hey, baby.
00:59:03Alright, I'll give you folks a little time with the menus, yeah?
00:59:05Okay, thanks.
00:59:06Okay, thanks.
00:59:07What are we doing?
00:59:08I think I've got a plan.
00:59:10Follow.
00:59:11Let me.
00:59:12Okay.
00:59:13I don't know.
00:59:16What to eat?
00:59:17Everything here is great.
00:59:18Max, have you had a chance to look at the menu yet?
00:59:19Are you caught?
00:59:20Still back?
00:59:21He's okay.
00:59:22There you go.
00:59:23You know what I'm gonna do.
00:59:24What to eat?
00:59:26What to eat?
00:59:27What to eat?
00:59:28What is going on?
00:59:30He knows.
00:59:31The server knows.
00:59:32It's my fault.
00:59:33I did that.
00:59:34You gotta get rid of him, Max.
00:59:35You gotta get rid of him now.
00:59:36How?
00:59:37This is the godfather.
00:59:38I don't know.
00:59:39Pull him aside.
00:59:40Order for the table.
00:59:41Pay with your credit card.
00:59:42And tell him he don't want to be disturbed.
00:59:43I'm sorry.
00:59:44My credit card?
00:59:45Ah.
00:59:46Didn't he catch that?
00:59:48Thanks for dinner.
00:59:49Yeah.
00:59:50Has anyone tried the gnocchi?
00:59:51No.
00:59:52So, do you normally ditch your family at restaurants?
00:59:55Or it's probably 50-50?
00:59:57Well, I appreciate the lift.
00:59:59I hope Emily and Jamie don't mind walking.
01:00:02Whatever.
01:00:03I'm sure one of them has a scarf they can share.
01:00:05Oh, my goodness.
01:00:06Oh, my goodness.
01:00:07You're such amazing.
01:00:08I panicked.
01:00:09I had nothing, all right?
01:00:12And what did we learn about divulging sensitive information to waitstaff in small towns?
01:00:17Our lesson.
01:00:18Good.
01:00:19Good.
01:00:20What's that thought?
01:00:22What thought?
01:00:23Come on, I can see it.
01:00:24It's right here.
01:00:25It's this giant thought sitting right here.
01:00:27What is it?
01:00:28What is it?
01:00:29I just thought it was crazy to agree to this, but I'm actually enjoying myself.
01:00:34Good.
01:00:35Good.
01:00:36Yeah, it feels like when we started dating, you know?
01:00:41Em?
01:00:42Yeah.
01:00:43I am so sorry for the way things ended.
01:00:48I handled that bad thing.
01:00:50I apologize to you.
01:00:53I really appreciate that.
01:00:55It was a surprise.
01:00:56I know.
01:01:00Sometimes I wonder, you know...
01:01:03Wonder what?
01:01:07Come on.
01:01:08Look at this.
01:01:09A shooting star.
01:01:10Like a wish.
01:01:11Come on.
01:01:12Close the way.
01:01:13Bad luck.
01:01:14I don't want that.
01:01:15What do I wish for?
01:01:16Whatever you want.
01:01:17Close your eyes.
01:01:21I'd say you mind if it's only yours.
01:01:30I think I'll wait and see if it comes true.
01:01:37Let's go.
01:01:40Oh, yes, sir.
01:01:44Wow.
01:01:48Hey, where's Emma?
01:01:50Mm-hmm.
01:01:51Her camera team's finally arrived.
01:01:52She's bringing them up to speed.
01:01:53Where are you off to?
01:01:55Um...
01:01:57I have a meeting.
01:01:58Christmas Eve?
01:01:59No, you don't.
01:02:00It's a coffee meeting.
01:02:01Coffee meeting.
01:02:02We who?
01:02:05It's Gina.
01:02:07Yeah, you cracked the case, Colombo.
01:02:11How do I look?
01:02:13You look fantastic.
01:02:15Have fun.
01:02:17Mmm.
01:02:19Mmm.
01:02:20I kind of want that, too.
01:02:22Yeah, it doesn't look so bad, does it?
01:02:24Mmm.
01:02:26See ya.
01:02:27Yeah.
01:02:28I'll go on with the other side.
01:02:30Uh...
01:02:31Here's my dog.
01:02:36Oh...
01:02:37See ya.
01:02:42Oh my god.
01:02:43Oh my god.
01:02:44Oh my god.
01:02:46It's so sweet.
01:02:48Oh my god.
01:02:49Oh.
01:02:50Oh my god.
01:02:51He loved them
01:03:01Your granddad loved books
01:03:04Some days
01:03:05He'd spend the whole
01:03:07The whole day
01:03:09In here
01:03:10Lost in the pages
01:03:11Yeah
01:03:14I miss him
01:03:17You know
01:03:19It's hard not having him here
01:03:20Oh, he's around
01:03:22And he's with us
01:03:23He just can't complain about my cooking anymore
01:03:26What's that look?
01:03:31Tell me
01:03:31I speak to you right, Grant
01:03:34It's a big one
01:03:36It's maybe the biggest of my career
01:03:39And, uh, I got nothing
01:03:42No, not a single sentence
01:03:43This seems to be my thing
01:03:47When it comes time
01:03:50To find the words that really matter
01:03:54I
01:03:55I don't know what happens
01:03:57I freeze
01:03:58It's remarkable
01:04:00How much of him I see in you
01:04:03Your granddad
01:04:05Everything always had to be just so
01:04:09Just right
01:04:10But do you know what he discovered
01:04:13Very late
01:04:14That the pursuit of perfection
01:04:16Is a road paved with disappointment
01:04:20The really important things in life
01:04:23Like love and family and community
01:04:26I mean, they are very messy
01:04:28Life is messy
01:04:31It can never be perfect
01:04:33Never
01:04:34So you have to
01:04:36Just enjoy the beauty in the mess, Jamie
01:04:39Success or not
01:04:41You do not have to prove yourself
01:04:42We love you
01:04:45Just the way you are
01:04:46And so does she
01:04:49I just hope Governor Haywood feels that way
01:04:52I am not talking about the governor
01:04:54The tagline is
01:05:04Fulton, your story starts here
01:05:06Ooh, catchy
01:05:08Yeah
01:05:08Your friend helped me
01:05:09Talk about it
01:05:11Daryl
01:05:17Hi
01:05:17I'm here with Risa and Danny
01:05:19They just landed
01:05:19Hi
01:05:20Hey, Daryl
01:05:21Perfect
01:05:21Real quick
01:05:22Forget her why
01:05:23How does Kewan Island sound?
01:05:26That project I was telling you about
01:05:27Is going to hit January 1st
01:05:29You're in
01:05:30Uh
01:05:31Wow
01:05:33I don't know what to say
01:05:35I think you do
01:05:36I'll finish your meeting
01:05:37We'll chat details later
01:05:38So, do you want to go?
01:05:42Yeah, I want to go
01:05:43Of course I want to go
01:05:44But
01:05:44Well
01:05:46Jamie and I have been kind of reconnecting
01:05:53And
01:05:53Don't wait around for him
01:05:55I know, I know
01:05:56I'm not
01:05:57I'm not
01:05:57I just
01:05:58I miss him
01:06:01You know
01:06:02And
01:06:04It's been really nice to reconnect
01:06:06Is that something you want?
01:06:08I don't even know what's going on in his head
01:06:09Okay?
01:06:09The guy's evolved
01:06:10So
01:06:10It's probably nothing
01:06:11Okay
01:06:12Hey, Em
01:06:13Be careful
01:06:14Yeah
01:06:15Okay
01:06:18I gotta run
01:06:19Hey
01:06:21All right
01:06:23Oh, nice
01:06:24Did you get that?
01:06:25It's perfect
01:06:25Oh, wow
01:06:26Thanks, kiddo
01:06:27You like it?
01:06:28You over here
01:06:28All right
01:06:29You win, you win
01:06:30I'm glad you like it
01:06:32That was very thoughtful
01:06:33I wanted to bring out your eyes, you know
01:06:34Yeah
01:06:35You all have to pick the socks
01:06:36Yes
01:06:38Better than socks, honey
01:06:40Grandma's next
01:06:40Oh, yes, Grandma
01:06:41Yes, that's me
01:06:42Sorry
01:06:43Excuse me
01:06:44Yes, ma'am
01:06:45Yes, ma'am
01:06:45It's here
01:06:46Right here
01:06:47Merry Christmas
01:06:49Oh, sorry
01:06:50So that is for the tree
01:06:53In case there's not a new one this year
01:06:55Oh
01:06:56Oh, it's beautiful, dear
01:06:58Thank you
01:06:59Oh, yes
01:07:01It's of all of us when we're doing karaoke
01:07:04Oh
01:07:04That was a big night
01:07:06Use bumps
01:07:07Yes
01:07:08Okay, well, that just leaves one more
01:07:10Okay
01:07:11And, um, well
01:07:13Here you go
01:07:13Thank you
01:07:14And it's not gonna shed
01:07:16Yeah, and you won't sneeze either
01:07:17Oh
01:07:18That's so sweet
01:07:20Thank you so much
01:07:21He's so welcome
01:07:21He's so cute
01:07:23He's very cute
01:07:24My very own cat
01:07:26So thoughtful
01:07:27Name it
01:07:28I always wondered when I was a kid
01:07:30What it would be like to have a big family Christmas
01:07:31With all the noise and the chaos
01:07:33And the joy
01:07:34And, you know, you're really lucky, kiddo
01:07:36You guys answered my question
01:07:38With flying colors
01:07:40And it's just been more than, um
01:07:41I ever could imagine
01:07:43Thank you
01:07:44You're so welcome, Emily
01:07:45We love you so much
01:07:47And you deserve it all
01:07:48You sure do
01:07:49What cursed luck
01:07:54Upon this eve
01:07:55Oh, wicked storm
01:07:57I cannot leave
01:07:59Snap out of it
01:07:59It's community theater
01:08:01Not the Gettysburg address
01:08:02Yeah, yeah
01:08:03I just, um
01:08:03You're still madly in love
01:08:06And you feel like a huge dummy
01:08:08For breaking it off
01:08:09I get it
01:08:10All right
01:08:10And you should tell her
01:08:11Right after the show
01:08:13Right now
01:08:14I need your head in the game
01:08:15Do you understand?
01:08:16Yeah
01:08:16Yeah?
01:08:17Good?
01:08:17Yeah?
01:08:18Jamie?
01:08:18You're proud?
01:08:19In the game
01:08:19Yeah, good breaking
01:08:20Like Christmas
01:08:20Beautiful
01:08:21As nightfall
01:08:25Speeds
01:08:26To our morning light
01:08:29This all-stranded sleigh
01:08:32Okay, hey
01:08:37I'm going to circle out front, okay?
01:08:40Hey
01:08:40Congrats again on the job
01:08:41Right?
01:08:43Here
01:08:43We need a photog
01:08:44Three months in the Caymans
01:08:46Doesn't sound bad to me
01:08:47Caymans, I know
01:08:48See you later
01:08:49Hey
01:08:49Hey
01:08:51Hey
01:08:51Hey
01:08:52Looking good
01:09:00Yeah
01:09:01Hey
01:09:03I know we haven't talked about
01:09:04What's going to happen after the speech
01:09:05But I was thinking
01:09:06I mean, I was kind of hoping
01:09:07It's all good
01:09:08It's all good
01:09:08Are you okay getting a cam
01:09:10To the train station?
01:09:12I'm going to need some time alone
01:09:14With my family
01:09:14Break the news
01:09:15All right?
01:09:17Places
01:09:18It's showtime
01:09:18Yeah
01:09:19I
01:09:22Shall cast aside
01:09:24My mortal fright
01:09:25An undertaking
01:09:26Hey, okay
01:09:27Listen
01:09:27You got this
01:09:28Just let it go out there
01:09:30And have fun
01:09:31Okay?
01:09:32Leading that interview
01:09:33Go
01:09:33Who will guide my sleigh tonight?
01:09:42I've come on a mission
01:09:48From the stars up above
01:09:50To save Christmas for all
01:09:53With the power of
01:09:55Love
01:09:56Love
01:09:56I'm fine
01:09:59I'm fine
01:10:00I'm fine
01:10:01I'm fine
01:10:18And Christmas was saved!
01:10:39We should have a clap, yeah?
01:10:49Hey, good show, guys.
01:11:05Hi.
01:11:06Hi.
01:11:07So, what was that?
01:11:08I'm sorry about the confetti.
01:11:10Are you?
01:11:11Or is that, uh, you getting back at me?
01:11:13Yeah, I ruined your sister's play to get back at you.
01:11:15Are you insane?
01:11:16I don't know, Em.
01:11:19Am I?
01:11:22Wow, I'm such an idiot.
01:11:25We're falling back into this with you and then thinking that you felt the same way.
01:11:30Hold on, hold on.
01:11:32Falling back into this how?
01:11:34You're...
01:11:36You're leaving.
01:11:37What?
01:11:38Did I not just hear your photographer talk to you about going to the Cayman Islands for three months?
01:11:42You got a new job.
01:11:43You're gone and who knows what.
01:11:45Wow, you have no idea what you're...
01:11:47Am I wrong?
01:11:48You have no right to be angry.
01:11:50I was planning on building a life with you and you broke that off.
01:11:55I've been trying to figure out why ever since.
01:11:58And then you broke me into this whole thing with your family and give me every indication that you still have feelings for me only to just rip the rug out again.
01:12:04So I'm just really tired of feeling like a yo-yo.
01:12:09Please tell me what you want.
01:12:13Tell me what you want, Jamie.
01:12:15That's what I thought.
01:12:26Okay, I'm gonna get a hotel room for tonight.
01:12:29Wait, Emma.
01:12:31Yeah?
01:12:32What do I tell my family?
01:12:37Tell them the truth.
01:12:39That I went along with it so that they wouldn't feel hurt and wouldn't feel foolish.
01:12:45Even though now I'm the one who's a fool and I'm the one who's getting hurt.
01:12:48You were so focused on keeping up the appearance of being in love that it didn't occur to you.
01:12:55I never stopped.
01:12:57I don't know. Tell them whatever you want.
01:12:59I'm done lying to them.
01:13:16Hey.
01:13:18Nice work up there.
01:13:20Interesting finish.
01:13:22I hate to rain on the moment, but I don't have a speech yet, Jamie.
01:13:26Do I need to be worried here?
01:13:29Gee, I think you might.
01:13:32I don't have it.
01:13:33I'm so very sorry.
01:13:44I'll just get some sense into you.
01:13:48I just want to say, I'm sorry.
01:13:53You guys gave me so much love and treated me like family and I'm really sorry that I lied to you.
01:14:00We love you so much and you are family.
01:14:04Merry Christmas.
01:14:05Merry Christmas.
01:14:06Okay.
01:14:07It's great.
01:14:08It's okay.
01:14:09It's okay.
01:14:10It's okay.
01:14:11It's great.
01:14:12It's okay.
01:14:13It's okay.
01:14:14It's okay.
01:14:15It's okay.
01:14:16It's okay.
01:14:17It's okay.
01:14:18It's okay.
01:14:19It's okay.
01:14:24Turn on Becca She Shed.
01:14:29Full blackout.
01:14:31Must be serious.
01:14:32You should get her stuff.
01:14:33Yeah.
01:14:34I don't have a glass.
01:14:35You want to talk about it?
01:14:36Nope.
01:14:37Too bad.
01:14:38Cause I know you.
01:14:39Probably better than you know yourself.
01:14:40And I see things you're not even willing to acknowledge.
01:14:42It sounds profound.
01:14:43Please do share.
01:14:44I see a guy who's in love with a girl.
01:14:45Danny's a little broken.
01:14:47He's a little scared.
01:14:48So he's too afraid to take care of people.
01:14:50You're too afraid to leave him for a look.
01:14:51I'm so scared.
01:14:52Why will you want to talk?
01:14:53I see a guy who's in love with a girl.
01:14:54And I see a guy who's in love with a girl.
01:14:55You're too scared.
01:14:59I see a guy who's in love with a girl.
01:15:05You're too scared to hear a girl.
01:15:08You're too scared.
01:15:10So he's too frightened to do anything about it.
01:15:13Bex, she is...
01:15:14She what? She loves you?
01:15:17You're terrified to put your faith in that
01:15:19because it might not be perfect.
01:15:23You might get your heart broken.
01:15:26And you know what? You might.
01:15:30But it's better than drinking wine alone in a garden shed.
01:15:34Not alone.
01:15:36You will be.
01:15:37In about six seconds,
01:15:40don't stay too long.
01:15:43It's freezing out here.
01:15:46Turn off Becca's she shed.
01:15:52Hey.
01:15:53Hey.
01:16:02Did I?
01:16:04Yeah.
01:16:04Yeah.
01:16:06It's magnificent.
01:16:11The whole thing.
01:16:14Thanks, pal.
01:16:16I know it's a little over the top, but...
01:16:19Your mom loves it.
01:16:23I do it for her.
01:16:24How'd you know she was the one?
01:16:28Well, that's easy.
01:16:31Whenever we're apart,
01:16:34I feel like there's a piece of me missing.
01:16:39I gotta tweak an antler.
01:16:40Where?
01:16:40Yeah.
01:16:40You got that one somewhere.
01:16:50I love you.
01:16:52I love you.
01:16:53What do?
01:16:54When I was like fullerapeutics.
01:16:55I'm just gonna tell you.
01:16:55Here.
01:16:56I can see you.
01:16:57And remember,
01:16:58I'm here.
01:16:58Okay.
01:16:59All right.
01:17:00Ooh.
01:17:00Yes.
01:17:01You were named
01:17:01I'm going to clean up a little.
01:17:27Oh, hey.
01:17:29Merry Christmas, Jamie.
01:17:31Merry Christmas, pal.
01:17:34Merry Christmas, bro.
01:17:35Hey, coffee's fresh.
01:17:36Sorry we started without you.
01:17:37This guy was up early.
01:17:38Yeah, too early.
01:17:40Yes, it's my fault.
01:17:41I'm sorry.
01:17:45How's everybody doing?
01:17:46Yeah?
01:17:48Well, hold on.
01:17:49The party's not over.
01:17:51There's still one more left from me.
01:17:52Oh.
01:17:53That's what's for Scotty.
01:17:54Oh.
01:17:55It's a big one.
01:17:56Oh, yeah.
01:17:57Come on, rip into it.
01:17:58What are you waiting for?
01:17:58I was looking at that one before.
01:18:00There you go.
01:18:04It's an art set.
01:18:05Lucky boy.
01:18:06Pop's open right here.
01:18:07Just look at these.
01:18:08Oh, it's an art set.
01:18:09Just like Grandma.
01:18:11I'll teach you.
01:18:12I can give you lessons.
01:18:13Absolutely.
01:18:14I'll show you how to mix colors.
01:18:15A little brush there.
01:18:16Look at that.
01:18:16What do you think?
01:18:17What do you think?
01:18:20Thanks, Uncle Jamie.
01:18:21Yeah, pal.
01:18:22Of course.
01:18:23Of course.
01:18:24Nice, right?
01:18:26Who's hungry?
01:18:26Anybody still hungry?
01:18:27Breakfast, huh?
01:18:28I know.
01:18:28I'm good with coffee.
01:18:29I think...
01:18:29Oh, come on.
01:18:30Pop, let's take that apron first, babe.
01:18:31What do you think?
01:18:32You go ahead, son.
01:18:33I'm not really feeling that hungry.
01:18:34Come on.
01:18:35Pancakes?
01:18:37I'll cook.
01:18:37I don't ever cook.
01:18:38There's a reason for that.
01:18:40I had a granola bar.
01:18:43Okay.
01:18:46Okay.
01:18:46I know things.
01:18:48It didn't go as planned.
01:18:49I know that.
01:18:50I'm sorry.
01:18:50It's my fault.
01:18:53Come on.
01:18:53We can still celebrate.
01:18:55Yeah?
01:18:56It's Christmas.
01:18:57We love Christmas.
01:18:58Yeah, sure.
01:18:59Yeah.
01:18:59You know, it's not your fault, Jamie.
01:19:02We're just, I think...
01:19:03I think all of us are feeling a little off this morning.
01:19:06That's all.
01:19:06It's not the same without Auntie Emily here.
01:19:09It feels like...
01:19:11Like a piece of us is missing.
01:19:17Yeah.
01:19:18Yeah, I know.
01:19:18Get your car, son.
01:19:35You're right.
01:19:35Get your car, son.
01:19:36What's happening?
01:19:37It's time for operation.
01:19:39Go get Emily.
01:19:40Go get Emily.
01:19:41Now.
01:19:42Whatever.
01:19:43Pop, step on it.
01:19:44Okay, let's do this.
01:19:51Let's do it.
01:19:54Absolutely.
01:19:55Just glad she's all right.
01:19:56Jamie.
01:19:57I got your email.
01:19:58Thank you so much for the speech.
01:19:59It was perfect.
01:20:00Yeah.
01:20:00Where is everybody?
01:20:01Where's the governor?
01:20:03She canceled.
01:20:04No.
01:20:05Her daughter had an asthma attack.
01:20:07She's fine.
01:20:08But they're at home in Springfield,
01:20:09so we're going live from there instead.
01:20:10Okay.
01:20:12Emily?
01:20:12She's gone.
01:20:15She left for the train station a while ago.
01:20:17She was pretty upset.
01:20:19Yeah.
01:20:20I bet.
01:20:23No.
01:20:23No, no, no, no.
01:20:24Okay, no.
01:20:25I just got to hustle, right?
01:20:26Okay, thanks, Gina.
01:20:27Oh, wait, Gina.
01:20:29Uh, I'm so sorry for me being me.
01:20:32Yeah, you can go.
01:20:33Yeah, yeah.
01:20:38Okay.
01:20:38The governor canceled.
01:20:40We need to get to the train station.
01:20:40Okay, train station is in.
01:20:42Good morning, and Merry Christmas.
01:20:48Unfortunately, our daughter had an asthma attack this morning,
01:20:51and thankfully, she is much better now.
01:20:54However, we were unable to be in the charming little town of Fulton,
01:20:59where we originally planned to do this broadcast.
01:21:02If you haven't been, I suggest you visit.
01:21:06It is one of my favorite places in the state.
01:21:12Sometimes, life throws us curveballs, and we have to adapt,
01:21:16especially when it comes to family.
01:21:18All right, is it still the belt?
01:21:20No, I need a mint.
01:21:22That's for who?
01:21:22Okay, just go.
01:21:23You go, you go.
01:21:24I got a wrap.
01:21:25I got a wrap.
01:21:26So rarely do we take a moment.
01:21:29The gifts we already have.
01:21:30Gina, what are you doing here?
01:21:31As if I was going to lose this.
01:21:33So romantic.
01:21:35Love, community.
01:21:36Come on, Scotty.
01:21:40And family.
01:21:42So today, tomorrow, and every day after that,
01:21:46let us strive for that.
01:21:48Because that is how we keep Illinois moving forward.
01:21:51Merry Christmas, everyone, to you and your loved ones.
01:21:56Hi.
01:21:57Hi.
01:21:59Did you write that?
01:22:02Yeah.
01:22:04Yeah.
01:22:04Jamie, it was...
01:22:06No, uh, wait.
01:22:08Pam, uh, I am so tired of making decisions out of fear.
01:22:15Fear of failure.
01:22:17Fear of falling short.
01:22:18This idea that I have that things have to be perfect
01:22:24in order for me to be happy, successful, valiant.
01:22:29The only thing I have to show for it is a heart that aches for you all the time.
01:22:34I guess the truth is, am I never stopped loving you?
01:22:39Ever.
01:22:42I just don't think I believed in myself.
01:22:45Enough to fight for it.
01:22:50I'm fighting for it now.
01:22:53I'm asking.
01:22:55Are you asking what exactly?
01:22:56Stay.
01:22:57Will you stay?
01:23:00I know that you have the job in the Caymans, but we can...
01:23:03I turned it down.
01:23:04No, no, no, Em.
01:23:04That's not what I want.
01:23:05No, I...
01:23:06That's what I want.
01:23:07I turned it down because I want to stay home.
01:23:10I want to put down roots and start to really let people in.
01:23:15There's this guy I really, um...
01:23:18Well, you know, he's a pain in the neck, but we work well together.
01:23:21He's an amazing speechwriter.
01:23:25Handsome.
01:23:27Yeah.
01:23:30I'm so sorry.
01:23:32I am so sorry.
01:23:38Not you to see me as a unicorn.
01:23:39That sounds good.
01:23:51If you're looking for a date to the wedding...
01:23:59No.
01:24:00No, I'd like that.
01:24:03Oh, yes.
01:24:08Oh, my God.
01:24:09Oh, my God.
01:24:11Oh, my God.
01:24:13Oh, my God.
01:24:13Oh, my God.
01:24:15Oh, my God.
01:24:16Oh, my God.
01:24:16Oh, my God.
01:24:17Oh, my God.
01:24:20Oh, my God.
01:24:21Oh, my God.
01:24:22Oh, my God.
01:24:23Oh, my God.
01:24:23Oh, my God.
01:24:24Snow.
01:24:26We're singing now.
01:24:28Yeah.
01:24:29Oh, she's a singer.
01:24:30Okay, we're coming.
01:24:30I see smiles on the faces of everyone.
01:24:36I meet such holiday cheer.
01:24:39I want to play it all like a seven-year-old.
01:24:42There's got to be more to life than this.
01:24:44You know what we do?
01:24:45We go to Ireland.
01:24:46Yes.
01:24:46I love this place.
01:24:48It's so Irish.
01:24:49Irish.
01:24:49Castle Hart is just down the way.
01:24:51I have some connections at the castle.
01:24:53I could arrange for a private tour.
01:24:54The Earl of Glasslock.
01:24:56Things are about to get a little more complicated.
01:24:58I'm starting to remember what Christmas is supposed to feel like.
01:25:00Lacey Chabert.
01:25:01Stuart Townsend.
01:25:02Which branch of the tree are you descendant from?
01:25:06We're from New York.
01:25:07Christmas at Castle Hart.
01:25:09Saturday at 8.
01:25:10Part of Merry Thanksgiving Weekend on Hallmark.
01:25:12Christmas at Castle Hart.
01:25:15Hot Watch.
01:25:16Do you care about Holy comparing?
01:25:17Do you movie them?
01:25:18I see a lot.
01:25:18Of course.
