00:00King crab, fresh from Alaska, and grass-fed wagyu.
00:05Three times the price, 50 times the flavor.
00:08And you don't get a single bite.
00:11It's just petty.
00:12Maybe so.
00:13But gourmet food isn't meant for bottom feeders.
00:17Fine.
00:18Then we won't stay and eat with you.
00:21Come on, let's go.
00:21No, no.
00:23Don't you dare leave our family dinner.
00:26Grandpa, I'm sorry, but they're treating us like fun.
00:29I know, dear.
00:30I just want to have our family together.
00:32Fine.
00:33We'll let the stray sit and eat with us.
00:36They're a stray, son of a bitch.
00:38What was that?
00:42We'll have our family together.
00:44Fine.
00:45We'll stay.
00:47Can you hear my little honorable?
00:49It's okay, sweetie.
00:50We'll get something right after.
00:52Like drive-thru?
00:54I hope you enjoy food poisoning.
00:56I mean, that will be a particularly memorable Christmas present.
01:02No, sir.
01:03Ah, sweetie.
01:04Are you okay?
01:05Yes, please.
01:06You hit my child.
01:08You're fucking crazy.
01:09Well, if you teach her some manners, maybe I wouldn't have to.
01:16Don't worry, baby.
01:18I'll handle it.
01:19I'll handle it.
01:21Piper.
01:26Sweetie, are you ready to try the best food you've ever had in your life?
01:33Okay, sweetheart.
01:34Give me two minutes and one phone call.
01:36As if you have a chef on speed dial.
01:39Actually, I do.
01:41He's such a liar.
01:43This ought to be hilarious.
01:44Oh, it will be.
01:46Sam.
01:50Yeah, send the troops and bring that king crab from Antarctica.
01:54I'm already on my way.
01:59Bring that king crab from Antarctica.
02:01I'm already on my way.
02:04You hear this guy?
02:05He wants the best king crab in the world.
02:08From Antarctica.
02:10Now I get why you married him, Eva.
02:13His silly delusions are just adorable.
02:15Max, what are you doing?
02:18Don't worry about it, sweetheart.
02:19Santa's already on his way.
02:21Actually, five, four, three, two, one.
02:30A helicopter?
02:38There's no way.
02:43How did you pull this off?
02:44Sam is like family.
02:46I thought I'd introduce you to.
02:47Thanks, boss.
02:50Boss?
02:50Eva's always been genuine with me.
02:53Maybe it's time she knew who I really am.
02:55Eva, I think it's time you actually know the truth.
02:59I'm Maximus Harrison.
03:02You're the CEO of Harrison Group?
03:05Come on.
03:09Come on.
03:11You can stop kidding around.
03:13If you were the CEO, why would you be here?
03:15Pretend to be my husband.
03:17No, I actually am the CEO.
03:19Come on.
03:19You can stop the charade.
03:21Okay, this is just another favor from that big, big friend, isn't it?
03:23Eva, I'm not pretending.
03:27Mr. Harrison, the Antarctic king crab, as you requested.
03:30How is this possible?
03:42This loser brings Antarctic king crab and has his own personal chef?
03:49Who are you?
03:50I told you.
03:51I'm Eva's husband.
03:53That chef called him Mr. Harrison.
03:55Wait, no.
03:57Hold on.
03:59You're the actual CEO of the Harrison Group?
04:03You're worth more than some whole countries.
04:06Some of the small ones.
04:09I mean, you know that.
04:10You work for me.
04:12Oh, God.
04:13I insulted my own boss.
04:15I'm finished.
04:16I'm finished.
04:20Didn't think Max would commit this hard.
04:26Pretending to be CEO is a hell of a move.
04:28Worth every penny and pain.
04:30For tonight, your feast ends.
04:32And with that, your career.
04:35You're fired.
04:36I'm fired?
04:38Sam?
04:42You're fired?
04:43God.
04:44I can't be fired.
04:46What?
04:46Mr. Harrison, please.
04:49You can have as much crab as you want.
04:51Please.
04:52Mr. Harrison.
04:52I'll do anything.
04:54Guys.
04:55Take out the trash.
04:57What?
05:01And you.
05:03Oh, me?
05:05Mr. Harrison, come on.
05:06That was a Christmas joke.
05:08A family tradition.
05:10Yeah, well.
05:11There's a new family tradition.
05:13Sam?
05:13Sam?
05:13Sam?
05:16Will you do me the honors?
05:20Gladly.
05:24Merry Christmas.
05:28I will do something.
05:31I really kind of deserve that.
05:33I don't believe it.
05:35I'll get it, my favorite.
05:42Come on, sweetie.
05:44Daddy had this crab line just for you.
05:46Eat as much as you want.
05:48Thanks, Eddie.
05:52I am so sorry I ruined your Christmas.
05:54I just couldn't take them treating you like that.
05:56Honestly?
05:58This is the best Christmas I've ever had.
06:00Well, if you want, we can have many more.
06:02Just like this.
06:04Does he really mean that?
06:06Or is he just playing the part?
06:08I can't tell.
06:09And that terrifies me.
06:14Merry Christmas, Mrs. Harrison.
06:15I brought you a gift.
06:17Here's the paternity test between the boss and that little girl.
06:20Oh.
06:25Oh, this is wonderful.
06:28Sam, I have a granddaughter.
06:31Tell me everything.
06:32Miss Eva Smith?
06:33Single mother, small town gal.
06:36Didn't finish high school.
06:37Currently works in retail.
06:38Oh, Maximus.
06:39I thought I raised you better.
06:41A high school dropout?
06:44In the Harrison family?
06:46What a chance.
06:50She is clearly unfit to raise my granddaughter.
06:54Maximus seems to like her.
06:56Silence.
06:56Get me the address where she works.
06:59It's Happy Heals on Broadway.
07:00That's nice.
07:02We own that one.
07:03Good work.
07:05I take off that stupid hat.
07:16Thanks.
07:17So your dad insisted that I try this one that he's been saving for 20 years?
07:23Sounds like he's happy with his new son-in-law.
07:26And how about you?
07:26Me?
07:31Yeah.
07:34Are you happy with your new husband?
07:39Eva.
07:50That birthmark.
07:51Family to me is a big commitment.
07:54And I don't want any loose ends.
07:57You know?
07:58Maximus, there's so much we don't know.
08:00So much we're not telling each other.
08:02Uh.
08:04No feelings.
08:05No complications.
08:05That's what we agreed upon.
08:07I had inside a contract.
08:09Max.
08:10Yeah, I guess you're right.
08:13It's cold.
08:16Maybe I'll go grab some more firewood.
08:19Max.
08:19Max.
08:21I need to tell you something.
08:22It's something important.
08:26What's gotten into her?
08:28Is she hiding something?
08:30Is this the part where you tell me there's no Santa?
08:34I haven't been completely honest with you.
08:38Piper is...
08:40Piper is...
08:41Piper is...
08:41Mommy, Daddy, my hand hurts.
08:44Oh, sweetie.
08:45Oh, my gosh.
08:46I'm swollen.
08:47Must have been when that witch smacked her with the fork earlier.
08:50Listen, you stay here with Daddy.
08:51Mommy's gonna go get a first date, okay?
08:55Come on, Piper.
08:59Okay, let me see.
09:00I promise I won't let anyone hurt you or Mommy again.
09:07But that's not true.
09:09You're leaving after Christmas, aren't you?
09:13Uh...
09:13Daddy!
09:14No!
09:16What?
09:22Don't you dare disrespect my husband.
09:27Well, maybe I don't have to leave.
09:30Well, maybe I don't have to leave.
09:32Really?
09:33Please stay, Daddy.
09:38You think it was Scar?
09:41Hmm.
09:44I wouldn't worry about it.
09:45Scars make you look like a badass.
09:47I have one, too.
09:49Dad.
09:51I got that when I was about your age.
09:53Some punk came at me with a switchblade.
09:56Really?
09:56No way.
09:58No.
09:58It was actually a cactus.
09:59But it's still cool.
10:03I have something like that on the back of my neck.
10:09Piper, how long have you had that?
10:11My mom said I had that when I was born.
10:13And how old are you?
10:20Six.
10:21Six?
10:22That one night stand was about seven years ago.
10:25Okay, I found the first day a kid.
10:27Ivor, are you sure we had a night before?
10:28And how do I explain it to Piper?
10:33Sorry, honey.
10:34This man's your dad, and he didn't know you existed until now.
10:38Um, yeah.
10:40Can I see your hands, baby?
10:43Can I see your hands, baby?
10:44Yeah.
10:49Okay, look.
10:53Piper is...
10:55Go on.
11:00That must be an emergency.
11:08Excuse me.
11:10Sorry.
11:10I'll do this.
11:11Mommy, are you okay?
11:19Yeah.
11:21Mommy's just realizing she's a coward.
11:24I don't even have the guts to tell the truth.
11:27Why haven't you picked up my calls?
11:32I'm telling you, Max, that woman is manipulating you.
11:35She's a high school dropout.
11:37Doesn't even have a decent job.
11:39And she doesn't fit to raise my granddaughter.
11:42I'm Eva's husband.
11:43Max, that man has no idea what the treasure he's missing out on.
11:52I'm sorry, Max.
11:54You can't know Piper's your daughter.
11:55Your mother would take her away.
11:57After Christmas, it's over.
12:01Eva?
12:03Maximus?
12:04Are you even listening to me?
12:06No, Mom, I'm sorry.
12:08Okay?
12:09Eva's my wife.
12:10And I've made up my mind.
12:11I'm not leaving her.
12:14Eva?
12:19Are you kidding me?
12:20Look.
12:23Oh, that boy.
12:24This is for you, Grandma.
12:31Oh, wow.
12:32That's so cool.
12:33Did you make it?
12:35Derek, this is from Eva.
12:38Oh, thank you so much.
12:40Thanks, guys.
12:41Glad you're here.
12:44Oh, wow.
12:46Damn, it's nice.
12:48Grandpa, language, little ears.
12:51Piper, do you want to go see your present?
12:58It's in the other room by the train center.
13:00Girl, go with you.
13:01Remember the song that we sang?
13:03Oh, hey, great.
13:03Grandma got run over by a reindeer.
13:06What do you want to go home from our house?
13:08Christmas Eve.
13:09Have you ever told me?
13:17Have we met before?
13:22Have we met before?
13:24She's unfit to raise my granddaughter.
13:27I don't know what you're getting at.
13:33Eva, I have the same birthmark as Piper.
13:44I don't know what you're talking about.
13:45Lots of people have birthmarks.
13:46They're very common.
13:48I feel so awful, but I can't lose my child.
13:50No matter how I feel about him.
13:55Maybe.
13:58Are you okay?
14:01Are the clogs a bad idea?
14:04I know.
14:05I'm fine.
14:07Um.
14:09Oh, I almost forgot.
14:13I got you this.
14:15You got me a gift, too?
14:16Tis the season.
14:18Open it.
14:20Gloves.
14:32Did you make these?
14:34Yeah.
14:35I know this is a fake marriage, but it's Christmas.
14:39You've already done so much for me.
14:41I just wanted to do a little something for you.
14:45How did I feel?
14:47Warm, right?
14:48Yeah.
14:49Warm.
14:50Soft.
14:55Perfect.
14:59Thank you, Eva.
15:01I've never gotten anything this meaningful before.
15:05Really?
15:07Yeah, my mom.
15:08She partied all the time.
15:10And I got gifts.
15:11Plenty of them, but...
15:13I don't think she ever bought one herself.
15:17Nothing personal.
15:20Well, you deserve it.
15:22You're a good guy.
15:23And someday you'll find someone special to spend all your Christmases with.
15:30And what if that day is today.
15:33What if I've already found someone special?
15:38Right here.
15:41can't wait.
15:51Oh.
15:52Oh, yeah.
15:52Okay.
15:57Oh, yeah.
15:58Oh, yeah.
16:00Max, we can't.
16:08If you want me to stop, you better tell me right now.
16:15Come on.
16:17I don't want you to stop.
16:24No matter how many years pass, I still can't resist him.
16:30You can't help this room.
16:34You can't help.
16:36I don't know.
16:40Just you.
16:41How are you, I don't know.
16:50I don't know what you mean.
16:51Oh my God, you've been driving me.
16:53I don't know what you mean.
16:54Yes, I do.
16:55I don't know what you mean.
16:56I don't know what you mean.
16:58Monster!
16:59Monster!
17:00Piper?
17:07She can't see him.
17:26Ava?
17:27Grandma, I'm up here.
17:44That was way too close.
17:46Yeah. We would have gotten on the naughty list.
17:53It's ugly naughty.
17:55Can I still unwrap my present?
18:02You still haven't given me mine.
18:08Let me give it to you.
18:10There's a particulier of my present.
18:13Let me give it to you.
18:15I love you.
18:16Oh, my God.
18:18Oh, my God.
18:19Oh, my God.
18:21Oh, my God.
18:22What are you calling me, sir?
18:52Hello?
18:54Hello, Eva Smith. I'm Max's mother. Name your price. What would it take for you to leave my son alone?
19:01W-what?
19:03We both know my son is way out of your league. Take the money, leave my granddaughter with us, and go. My son will find a better wife and a better mother for his child.
19:14Piper is my daughter, and no amount of money you offer could ever make me give her up. So you keep your money, and I'll leave on my own, but I am not handing Piper over to you.
19:26Well, there's my beautiful wife. You okay?
19:36Look, we made it through Christmas. So I think it's best we go our separate ways.
19:43What are you talking about?
19:45It's over. It's not that hard to understand.
19:48Eva, wait!
19:53Look, so last night meant nothing to you?
20:02I'm Max. It's not real. None of it was real.
20:06So, this is just a goodbye.
20:10I didn't realize that was so disposable for you.
20:13Look, last night, I let my cart down. But I'm a mother, and my choice affects Piper. And being with you can mess up everything between us.
20:25Tell me what you mean. I'll do whatever it takes to be a good husband, a good father. Just say the word.
20:34You don't get it. You don't get it.
20:48I think it's time, Piper, and I go back to Duke.
20:55I won't give up on this.
21:04Are we here?
21:14Yes. As much as I don't want us to be, we're back.
21:22Piper, sweetie, wake up. We're home.
21:29How could she just walk away?
21:34Don't forget you have to meet my mom. It's part of the agreement, too.
21:42Can I just pay you a little extra and skip it?
21:45Hey, you promised.
21:47Eva, I haven't asked you for much. Can you do this for me, please?
21:53Alright, fine. When?
21:56Two days. I'll come pick you up.
21:59Don't need. Just send me the address on me there.
22:04I know you and Mommy suck, but she still really likes you, so don't give up, okay, Daddy?
22:15Thank you, sweetie. If there's one thing you should know about your Daddy, I always fight for the ones I love.
22:21He was meeting my mother today. Time to finally tell her the truth.
22:30Boss? Boss?
22:31Boss?
22:32Lady and gentlemen, I am so sorry. I need to go win back my family.
22:36Boss, boss?
22:38Boss?
22:53Boss?
22:54Family?
22:56Boss, are you okay?
22:58Never better.
23:00Go get her, Max.
23:06Give it your best smile.
23:08Ah, there he is.
23:10Maximus, darling.
23:12I have some prospects for you.
23:14Nice high society girls
23:16from the city.
23:20Oh.
23:22I told you, I already found a woman I love.
23:24What do you mean?
23:28Maximus, stop this.
23:32That evil woman is scanning you, son.
23:36Tell me what kind of woman you want
23:38and I'll find you another.
23:40You are heir to the Harrison Dynasty.
23:42No, I'm not.
23:44Oh?
23:46I work in waste management
23:48and I'm a secret crime boss
23:50I'm Eva's husband
23:52and I'm a father.
23:56What?
24:08Ah, that's her.
24:10The woman who got my son head over heels.
24:12Hi.
24:14Welcome in.
24:16Can I help you find something?
24:18I want to try those.
24:22Awesome, I'll get them for you right away.
24:24Are you sure you wouldn't want something more sensible?
24:30No, no, no.
24:32I know what I want.
24:34Size 7.
24:36Oh, baby can't even walk
24:38but she wants $3,000 heels.
24:40Come on.
24:42She wants to like shoes.
24:48Ignore her.
24:50She's just grumpy over the holidays.
24:52Here, let me help you.
24:54Come on.
24:56She seems kind.
25:00I shouldn't be that impressed.
25:04She's just doing her job.
25:06How do you feel?
25:08Well, I love the style.
25:10But it's too small.
25:12I think I need a size up.
25:14Maybe my feet are still growing.
25:16Right away.
25:18I'll be right back.
25:20She's not only kind.
25:22She's patient.
25:24Was I wrong about her?
25:40Are you gluing the heel back with?
25:44Well, who gives a shit?
25:46She can't walk.
25:48That's just pure evil.
25:54Oh, come on, St. Eva.
25:58She's in a wheelchair.
26:00Who cares?
26:01It's the last pair.
26:02I get paid commission.
26:08I am not doing that, Vanessa.
26:12See?
26:13This is your whole problem.
26:16This is why you'll always be broke.
26:20I don't care if she can walk or not.
26:22I'm not selling her joke.
26:24She has to do with people like this?
26:28People who insult her all day?
26:30I'm your manager.
26:32Sell the old bitty the shoes or you're fired.
26:42Did I stutter?
26:46You don't have to fire me.
26:48I quit.
26:50I don't work here anymore.
26:52Listen, don't buy the shoes.
26:54They're broken.
26:56Spend your heart and money elsewhere, okay?
26:58You're a good person after all.
27:12Looks like I misjudged you.
27:14I'm sorry?
27:16Why aren't you still here, Eva?
27:20Get out!
27:26You're not disabled?
27:28Selling broken heel to someone you thought was handicapped?
27:32Absolutely shameful.
27:34Who are you?
27:36I am the chairwoman of the Harrison Group and the owner of this store.
27:42You're Eleanor Harrison, mother of the CEO?
27:46I am.
27:48And you, my dear, are fired.
27:50What did I do?
27:52You are a good person.
27:56From now on, this store is yours to run.
28:04Are you serious?
28:06That's right.
28:08Don't be nervous, child.
28:10You are professional, responsible, far better than that two-bit manager.
28:16You out.
28:18I'll leave.
28:20I'm leaving.
28:22I feel like I'm dreaming.
28:24No, don't worry.
28:26You're getting a promotion.
28:28You deserve it, my dear.
28:32First assignment?
28:34I want that row.
28:36You're getting a promotion.
28:38You deserve it, my dear.
28:42First assignment?
28:44I want that row.
28:46And that row.
28:48And the entire display case.
28:50Pack it all up and bring it to my house, hmm?
28:54Okay.
28:56Once we're home, I'll tell her I'm her mother-in-law.
29:00I can't wait to finally meet my granddaughter.
29:04She's the mother of CEO.
29:08Of course she lives like this.
29:10Mrs. Harrison?
29:12I'm here with your delivery.
29:14Max?
29:16Eva?
29:18What are you doing here?
29:20I, uh...
29:22There you are, Eva!
29:24Wonderful we can finally meet each other properly.
29:26My new daughter-in-law.
29:28What are you doing here?
29:30What are you doing here?
29:32I, uh...
29:34There you are, Eva!
29:36Wonderful we can finally meet each other properly.
29:40My new daughter-in-law.
29:42What are you...
29:44That means you really are the CEO of Harrison Group.
29:50Well, I tried to tell you, but...
29:54Stop!
29:56And you?
29:57You lied to me at the store!
29:59You were both just testing me?
30:01Is this some sick game rich people play?
30:04I'm sorry, Eva.
30:05I thought you might be using my son just after his money.
30:09But I was wrong.
30:10Eva, please.
30:11I don't deserve to be treated like this.
30:13Not every working class girl is after your money.
30:16How could you think that of me?
30:18It's not like that, dear.
30:21Eva, what are you talking about?
30:23Mom!
30:24What did you do?
30:25I-I was just trying to get the two of you back together.
30:28We're not together.
30:30And I can't love something that was never real.
30:36I made a horrible mistake.
30:39What are you waiting for, son?
30:41Go after her!
30:46Eva...
30:47Why don't you go?
30:48I swear, it's not what you think.
30:49But we come from two completely different worlds.
30:51Stop pretending like you care!
30:52I'm not pretending!
30:53Okay?
30:54I can't fake what we have.
30:55And everything I've done for you.
30:57And Piper, this is real.
31:03Touch my wife again, and I will snap every finger that you've got.
31:07Max, you came.
31:08God, you won't drive me fucking insane.
31:09I'll do whatever it takes to be a good husband, a good father.
31:18Just say the word.
31:22See?
31:24Stop fighting.
31:25We belong together.
31:26You're wrong.
31:27Wrong about what?
31:28That you care?
31:29Or we belong together?
31:30Look, I already told you.
31:31We're from two completely different worlds.
31:32No, I held up my end of the deal, and I met your mother.
31:33Like we discussed.
31:34Now I'm a fake divorce from my fake cousin.
31:35Eva!
31:48Eva!
31:50Eva!
31:54I'm sorry, Maximus.
31:55Walking away is the only choice I have.
31:59It's the only choice I have.
32:05Ow!
32:07Are you okay, Mommy?
32:09Yeah, sweetie, I'm fine.
32:11Come here.
32:19No, you're not fine. You're sad.
32:23I'm okay, sweetie.
32:27I'm his daddy, too.
32:31I want Max to be my real daddy.
32:35Don't you want to be with him?
32:39Lovebug.
32:41You're right.
32:43What am I doing? Running like a coward?
32:47I've always taught you to be brave.
32:51Now it's time for Mommy to be brave, too.
32:53I believe in you.
32:55What are you gonna do, Mommy?
32:57I know exactly what to say to him.
33:03Maximus deserves to know.
33:05Piper is his daughter.
33:07Enough sulking.
33:13Go get your wife and my grandbaby back.
33:17Don't you think I want to?
33:19She doesn't want me.
33:21I didn't raise you to give up.
33:23Your daughter is still out there.
33:25You can't abandon her.
33:27Mom, you don't get it.
33:29I made a deal with Eva to play my wife.
33:31And Piper, she was an added bonus.
33:35What are you talking about?
33:37I already ran a DNA test.
33:41Piper is your daughter.
33:43What?
33:45See for yourself.
33:51That's right.
33:53Seven years ago.
33:55And here's that woman.
33:57It's Eva.
34:07Eva!
34:09Hey!
34:11Daddy!
34:12Daddy!
34:13Piper!
34:14I missed you so much, sweetheart.
34:24You came back.
34:28I, uh...
34:30Don't forget some of your breath, Mommy.
34:38I, uh...
34:40I was scared.
34:42But I don't want to be scared anymore.
34:44Because what we have is real.
34:46And it's worth fighting for.
34:50Sweetheart, I have...
34:51Something to tell you.
34:52I have something to tell you, too.
34:54I have something to tell you, too.
34:57I brought your daughter.
34:59You knew.
35:00My sweet granddaughter.
35:02Yeah, Mom!
35:04I just found out for sure a few minutes ago.
35:08But you've known this whole time.
35:10I was scared.
35:11Okay, I didn't know if you were gonna take her from me.
35:14I didn't know how you were feeling.
35:17How could she not know how I felt?
35:29I love you, Eva.
35:33I love you, too.
35:34I promise.
35:36For the rest of my life, I'm going to make it up to you.
35:40As long as we're together.
35:42It doesn't matter where we are.
35:54Will you marry me, Eva?
35:56For real this time?
35:57Yes!
35:58Yes!
35:59Yes, of course!
36:00I'll marry you!
36:05Yes!
36:14Looks like you're stuck with me the next Christmas.
36:16And the Christmas after that.
36:17And forever!
36:18I wouldn't have it any other way.
36:28Who's that?
36:30Hey, Mom!
36:33Take me back!
36:36I don't know how strong you talk!
36:41Looks like I have to take out the trash.
36:44Again.
36:47No?
36:48No, honey?
37:03Before my mom died.
37:06Oh, my God!
37:07That's cr-
37:09Oh, my-
