00:00:00So I'm flying the space shuttle for the second time, and this guy passes out.
00:00:10All right, it's about that time.
00:00:12So, are you kissing anybody at midnight?
00:00:14Uh, yeah, him.
00:00:23Hi!
00:00:24Just play him on.
00:00:25Six, five, four, three, two, one.
00:00:31Hey, yeah, yeah.
00:00:55You have a cute scar.
00:00:57It's just my birthmark.
00:01:00If you want me to stop, tell me now.
00:01:04I don't want you to stop.
00:01:05I don't want you to stop.
00:01:14I was so drunk last night, I can't remember who I was with.
00:01:44I must return this to her so I can see her again.
00:01:52Happy New Year.
00:01:53Sam, it's me.
00:01:54Hey, find me the girl from last night.
00:01:57I don't care how, just do it.
00:02:00I will find you.
00:02:05Maximus, can you get married already?
00:02:09Bring home a wife or at least a girlfriend.
00:02:12I need grandkids, I need you to-
00:02:14Message received, mom.
00:02:16I need to go now, I have to inspect the new headquarters.
00:02:27Seven years, why can't I ever find you?
00:02:30And why do you still haunt me?
00:02:41Still thinking about that girl?
00:02:42Boss, it's been years.
00:02:47I'm ready to go to the inspection now.
00:02:49Your vest, sir?
00:02:50Uh, but first we found your fake Christmas wife.
00:02:53She's waiting in the coffee shop.
00:02:55Blonde hair, red top.
00:02:57And sir, make sure you use an alias.
00:02:59We can't have her know you the Harrison Group CEO or she'll jack up the price.
00:03:02Good.
00:03:03Finally, I can get my mother off my back.
00:03:06Hi, one iced vanilla latte, please.
00:03:11And one hot chocolate.
00:03:14I can't wait to finally meet my new daddy.
00:03:17Now Auntie Debra and Pamela can't say I have no daddy anymore.
00:03:22Ah, sweetie, remember it's just pretend, and it's just for Christmas.
00:03:26But mommy, why do we have to rent a daddy?
00:03:28Hey, daddy, where's my real one?
00:03:29Uh.

00:12:19Harrison Group?
00:12:27Do you do construction for them or something?
00:12:30Sort of.
00:12:31Not that I'm judging.
00:12:32I just need to get my story straight or my mom will eat both of us alive.
00:12:38Why don't we say that you do mid-level management for Harrison Group?
00:12:41I think that's respectable.
00:12:43Can we pick another company?
00:12:45No. Harrison Group is perfect.
00:12:47And they'll find it impressive. My cousin's husband works for them, too.
00:12:51So, it's perfect.
00:12:56Oh, and, uh, wear something nice for Christmas dinner?
00:13:00Don't worry. Okay, I clean up nicely. I wouldn't embarrass you.
00:13:06Too much.
00:13:07Too much.
00:13:17Let's go, Sam.
00:13:29It's time to check out the new HQ site.
00:13:31Well, Don, you're covered in water and you have a hair on your shoulder and it's not yours.
00:13:36It's my daughter's.
00:13:38Daughter's?
00:13:39Get me a DNA test for that little girl that he's with.
00:13:43Hey, there they are!
00:13:58Yay!
00:13:59Nice to meet you!
00:14:01Aw, dad.
00:14:02I'm so glad you made it.
00:14:04Aw, I missed you.
00:14:06So, where's this mysterious husband we heard all about?
00:14:10He's coming.
00:14:11Please don't tell me Maximus bailed.
00:14:13Good, good, good.
00:14:16So, heard you got a new hubby, sweetie.
00:14:19When's he arriving?
00:14:21Oh, it's probably just some story she cooked up to stop people talking.
00:14:25Poor thing.
00:14:26Not surprising.
00:14:27I mean, she's 30.
00:14:29Once a woman hits that age, you become undateable.
00:14:32Oh, plus a kid looks so bad on dating apps.
00:14:38This is exactly why I refuse to come home single this Christmas.
00:14:42Auntie Pamela?
00:14:43Debbie?
00:14:44My dating life, quite frankly, is none of your concern.
00:14:47We're only worried about you.
00:14:49All these years without a husband.
00:14:52Zip it, Pamela.
00:14:54You know, you always spoiled her rotten.
00:14:56And look what happened.
00:14:58She got knocked up out of wedlock, raising a kid all alone.
00:15:02I'm not alone.
00:15:03Mm-hmm.
00:15:04And what does this mysterious husband do?
00:15:10He's a manager.
00:15:11Manager?
00:15:13Of what?
00:15:14Trash?
00:15:16Probably a cover for criminal activity.
00:15:20You don't have to lie to us, Eva.
00:15:23Actually, he's right here.
00:15:26Oh, wow.
00:15:31Wow.
00:15:32He is really good looking.
00:15:34Ah, must be AI.
00:15:37Mm-hmm.
00:15:37Congratulations, Eva, on your Photoshop skills.
00:15:40Fake.
00:15:41That's enough.
00:15:42She's our daughter and your niece.
00:15:44Show some respect.
00:15:45Remember last year when I introduced you to my husband's nephew, William, and you turned
00:15:52him down?
00:15:53Well, guess what?
00:15:54William works for the Harrison Group now.
00:15:57Makes 500 grand a year.
00:16:00That's half a million.
00:16:02Half a million.
00:16:03Girls are lining up for him all the way to New York.
00:16:07And speak of the devil.
00:16:12Willie, you've made it.
00:16:18There you are.
00:16:25Oh, look at you now, living the dream.
00:16:30Oh, just think, Eva.
00:16:32Well, you could be driving around in a car like that had you not married that criminal
00:16:36waste manager.
00:16:38So married, huh?
00:16:39Is it serious?
00:16:42That's what marriage is.
00:16:43It's pretty serious.
00:16:45Wow.
00:16:46You must have rushed to tie the knot, huh?
00:16:49Makes sense, though.
00:16:50You not being a hot, young thing anymore.
00:16:53Dragging that kid around with no daddy.
00:16:56A bullet dodged, Willie.
00:16:58Meanwhile, you're climbing the Harrison Group ladder.
00:17:02That's right.
00:17:03Just bought this brand new suit with my Christmas bonus.
00:17:08Women love a man in red.
00:17:10Sexy.
00:17:11Like Santa Claus.
00:17:12When I sit on my lap.
00:17:15Don't touch me.
00:17:16Oh, so entitled.
00:17:18Williams, a successful man of taste, not waste.
00:17:22And yet, for some reason, he's willing to overlook your baggage.
00:17:26I mean, look at that car.
00:17:28Could your husband afford anything even close to that?
00:17:31Think of the life I can give you on Piper with all my Harrison Group money.
00:17:35Ditch your nobody husband and marry me instead.
00:17:39I wouldn't marry you if you were the last man on Earth.
00:17:42My mom would never marry.
00:17:49She already has a husband.
00:17:50He's gonna kick your butt.
00:17:51Is that so?
00:17:56Well, then, where is he?
00:17:59Because I don't see him.
00:18:01Does anyone see him?
00:18:04Now, just like I thought, telling lies just like Mommy.
00:18:09Hey, that puts you on the naughty list.
00:18:13And let me show you what happens to naughty children.
00:18:18Hey.
00:18:19Mommy.
00:18:20Is it okay?
00:18:21I see your hands.
00:18:22Oh, my God.
00:18:23I'm gonna take her in and get her packed stuff, okay?
00:18:26Come on, honey.
00:18:27Let's go.
00:18:29What the hell's the matter with you?
00:18:31How dare you put your filthy hands on my daughter?
00:18:35Let me go.
00:18:36Now, why would I go and do a thing like that when I'm having such a good time?
00:18:42Let me go.
00:18:42Touch my wife again, and I will snap every finger that you've got.
00:19:03Max, you came.
00:19:05Don't worry, sweetie.
00:19:09Where's Piper?
00:19:11William Hitter.
00:19:12Mom and Dad have to take her inside.
00:19:14Well, it looks like we have a real Grinch to dispose of.
00:19:17Well, well, well.
00:19:19If it isn't the Waste Manager I've been hearing so much about.
00:19:22That's right.
00:19:24Now, I'm about to take out the trash.
00:19:28Oh, Mr. and Mrs. Smith.
00:19:31It's an honor to meet you.
00:19:32I'm Max.
00:19:33Eva told us all about you.
00:19:35From New York.
00:19:36Polite.
00:19:37Handsome.
00:19:38Just like she said.
00:19:40Wow.
00:19:41He was an AI.
00:19:42See?
00:19:43He's real.
00:19:45And he's more of a man here than William would ever dream to be.
00:19:48Son of a bitch.
00:19:49You just ruined my suit.
00:19:51And watch the way that you drive that...
00:19:52That pristine automobile.
00:19:55That car?
00:19:56Oh, my God.
00:19:58That's worth more than a house.
00:20:00That car?
00:20:01It was all over the news when the CEO of the Harrison Group bought it.
00:20:06Wait.
00:20:07Are you?
00:20:12Like I said, I'm just Eva's husband.
00:20:15And that's all he needs to know.
00:20:17I'm not here to put on a show for anyone.
00:20:19You really are a criminal, aren't you?
00:20:21You stole it.
00:20:22That car belongs to the CEO of my company.
00:20:24Jesus.
00:20:26How did he get away with it?
00:20:27That's what I want to know.
00:20:29Enough, please.
00:20:32I trust my daughter.
00:20:34She would never marry a criminal.
00:20:38Max, be honest with me.
00:20:40Where did that car come from?
00:20:42How much did you want for it?
00:20:44I'll pay you more money than you'd make it three lifetimes.
00:20:47Sir, you need a breath, man.
00:20:53All right, that's it.
00:20:54I'm calling the cops.
00:20:55Oh, way ahead of you.
00:20:57Wait.
00:20:58What?
00:20:59Are you feeling nervous, Eva?
00:21:02Oh, well.
00:21:04Too late.
00:21:09Mr. Harrison?
00:21:11Just play along.
00:21:13Merry Christmas, Willie.
00:21:15Now get the fuck out of here
00:21:16before I kick your ass
00:21:18all the way up to the North Pole.
00:21:19Yes, sir.
00:21:20I'm so sorry, sir.
00:21:22Please, it's not my serious apologies.
00:21:34Oh, that William.
00:21:37What a jerk, huh?
00:21:39He fooled me.
00:21:40What can I say?
00:21:41Let's not let this little misunderstanding
00:21:43ruin the holidays.
00:21:45Oh, now you don't want to ruin Christmas?
00:21:47Oh, come on, Eva.
00:21:48We were just looking out for you.
00:21:50Please forgive us, Mr. Harrison.
00:21:53You know my youngest son is graduating.
00:21:55Soon.
00:21:55Do you think that, uh,
00:21:57you could help him get his foot in the door?
00:21:59A job at the Harrison Group,
00:22:01even in the mailroom, would open doors.
00:22:04We are family, aren't we?
00:22:06Family takes care of each other.
00:22:07If you guys want a job at the Harrison Group,
00:22:11you can put in an application like everyone else.
00:22:13Abby Gail, come on, talk to her for us.
00:22:17Didn't you just say that my daughter was undateable?
00:22:20Yeah.
00:22:21I think you need to take care of your own issues first.
00:22:23My daughter is just far too busy
00:22:26for your best life for my new son-in-law.
00:22:29Come on, guys, let's go in.
00:22:31Welcome to the family.
00:22:32This is your fault, Pam.
00:22:42You can't tell the difference between A.I. and reality.
00:22:46My fault?
00:22:47You were the one who was pushing her onto that worm, William.
00:22:51Oh!
00:22:51Hey, how do you have that car?
00:23:02And how do you know the CEO of Harrison Group?
00:23:04And how do you...
00:23:05I told you.
00:23:06I work for Harrison Group, remember?
00:23:08I have a friend in high places.
00:23:10A friend who just hands you keys
00:23:12to million-dollar, one-of-a-kind luxury cars?
00:23:15Yes.
00:23:16It's the season of giving.
00:23:18He knows people.
00:23:19Has connections.
00:23:20He's a big deal kind of guy.
00:23:23You're a crime boss, aren't you?
00:23:25Yeah, and you best not forget it, capiche?
00:23:27Oh, my God, just don't blow your cover.
00:23:30Dad!
00:23:31Mom!
00:23:32Thank you so much for letting Max and I stay in your home.
00:23:35Oh, honey.
00:23:36We're just so happy that you found such a
00:23:39handsome, strong, good-looking...
00:23:42I think they get it, hon.
00:23:46Uh, how's Piper?
00:23:48Oh, she's fine.
00:23:49And one of you guys just gets settled in
00:23:51and, uh, we will go check on her.
00:23:53And after your mom takes a cold shower,
00:23:55we'll come back and finish decorating the tree.
00:23:58Great.
00:23:58See you in bed, shall we?
00:24:00What are you doing?
00:24:03Okay.
00:24:05Hey, was that not a, uh, breach of contract?
00:24:11Relax.
00:24:11It was just a hug.
00:24:14Ugh.
00:24:16We just got here and I'm already exhausted.
00:24:19You'll be okay.
00:24:20It's just one week.
00:24:21Kill me now.
00:24:22Well, I would, but I need to get paid.
00:24:29What are you doing?
00:24:31That's weird.
00:24:33They were so lovey-dovey just a second ago.
00:24:35I don't know.
00:24:36Something just feels off.
00:24:37Come on.
00:24:38That's ridiculous.
00:24:40I mean, what do you want them to do?
00:24:41Make them promise to prove it?
00:24:44Oh, my goodness.
00:24:45Mmm.
00:24:46Later.
00:24:49Let's go.
00:24:53Here we go.
00:24:56Piper is all tucked in, honey.
00:24:58Everything looks amazing.
00:24:59And happy holidays.
00:25:00To the newest member of our family, Max.
00:25:04Oh.
00:25:05Welcome.
00:25:06Cheers.
00:25:07Thank you, Miss Smith.
00:25:08Looks great.
00:25:09Oh, just call me mom, honey.
00:25:11I had no idea what you liked,
00:25:13so I just whipped up a little bit of everything.
00:25:16But we all know what Eva's favorite Christmas dish is, right?
00:25:20Ooh.
00:25:21Oh, no.
00:25:21Mom's testing him.
00:25:22She's trying to see if he's legit.
00:25:24You mean to tell me you two are married
00:25:25and you don't even know my baby girl's favorite food?
00:25:28I don't know my baby girl's favorite food.
00:25:31Ow.
00:25:32Eva, sweetie.
00:25:34Kicking my foot.
00:25:35Oh, sorry, Mom.
00:25:36I...
00:25:36Oh, jeez.
00:25:39It's okay.
00:25:41Look, Mom, of course he knows it's...
00:25:42I would like to hear Max say it.
00:25:50Um...
00:25:51Twelve pumpkin pies.
00:25:58Did I hear this right?
00:25:59They're the best kind.
00:26:02Well, of course.
00:26:03It's pumpkin pie.
00:26:05See?
00:26:07Are you happy now?
00:26:08That's good, but something still falls off.
00:26:11Mom, don't make it weird, okay?
00:26:13We had a whirlwind romance
00:26:15and we eloped before we got to know everything about each other,
00:26:19but our marriage is real.
00:26:21I guess your mom's just watching too many of those real short shows.
00:26:25Uh-huh.
00:26:26Now those are quality.
00:26:29Okay, well, then answer this.
00:26:32Where's your wedding ring, Eva?
00:26:35Where's your wedding ring, Eva?
00:26:36I knew it was a good idea to pick this up.
00:26:42Well, um, it's...
00:26:44Silly face.
00:26:45Dropped it outside on the sidewalk.
00:26:48Luckily, I was there to pick it up for her.
00:26:50Silly face.
00:26:53I am not paying extra for this.
00:26:55Consider it a Christmas gift.
00:26:57Those losers.
00:26:59That's nice.
00:27:01You can afford this on a waste manager's salary?
00:27:04Well, believe it or not, Miss Smith,
00:27:05there is a lot of garbage out there.
00:27:07And I'm not just talking about William.
00:27:09I'll drink to that.
00:27:11I agree with you there.
00:27:13So, come on, guys.
00:27:14Let's eat.
00:27:15Come on.
00:27:23And this is where y'all will be staying.
00:27:31I have another room set up for Piper.
00:27:33Nice and festive for you.
00:27:36No complications, right?
00:27:38Sorry, honey.
00:27:39Uh, mom, you know what?
00:27:40I should stay with Piper tonight.
00:27:42Oh, honey.
00:27:43Newlyweds shouldn't sleep apart.
00:27:46Oh, I just remembered.
00:27:48The city's turning the water off at 10.
00:27:50Something about water conservation.
00:27:52That means you have 15 minutes to shower.
00:27:5415 minutes?
00:27:55Oh.
00:27:57Honey, it's no big deal.
00:27:58Just shower together.
00:27:59Shower together.
00:28:00Shower together?
00:28:04Just shower together.
00:28:06Okay, you guys.
00:28:07Have a good night, okay?
00:28:12You heard her.
00:28:13Oh, wow.
00:28:22Why are you stripping?
00:28:38Well, I can't take a shower with my clothes on.
00:28:40Come on, we're wasting time.
00:28:42You have 15 minutes.
00:28:43Nice try.
00:28:43I am not showering with you.
00:28:45All right, sleep yourself.
00:28:47More room for me in there.
00:28:48Not if I meet you there first.
00:29:06Come on, Max.
00:29:08Get out of the way.
00:29:10We agreed, nothing physical.
00:29:12You're the one with the dirty thoughts, wifey.
00:29:14Relax.
00:29:15I won't touch you.
00:29:16Unless you say you want me to.
00:29:20But that'll cost extra.
00:29:31In your dreams.
00:29:34Free to join me.
00:29:35You know, if you keep staring at my ass, you're not going to have me shower water left.
00:29:58You wish.
00:29:59Why aren't you getting in?
00:30:01Pray you'll fall for me.
00:30:02It's you who has to worry about resisting me.
00:30:06Oh, yeah?
00:30:07True.
00:30:20Holy shit.
00:30:21This is going to be harder than I thought.
00:30:29I'll say.
00:30:30What happened to all that cool guy confidence?
00:30:33Still think you can lose this?
00:30:36Baby.
00:30:36I don't think I want to.
00:30:39Max, I shouldn't.
00:30:48Or maybe we should.
00:30:50God, he's such a good kisser.
00:30:53Why does this feel so familiar?
00:30:56Max, we cannot do this.
00:31:14What?
00:31:15I didn't mean to cross anything.
00:31:17It's not you, Max.
00:31:18It's us.
00:31:19It's this.
00:31:19This is all an act.
00:31:20Let's not make it more complicated than it is.
00:31:23You're right.
00:31:26I'm sorry.
00:31:27I just need to be sorry.
00:31:29Just...
00:31:33That birthmark.
00:31:43What is that?
00:31:46It's him.
00:31:47The man from New Year's.
00:31:48Is he Piper's father?
00:31:50Why are you acting?
00:31:57Oh, my God.
00:31:58Max is Piper's father.
00:32:01Are you okay?
00:32:02Yeah.
00:32:03I just, um...
00:32:05I just got lightheaded.
00:32:06I think I just need a few more minutes.
00:32:08Alone.
00:32:11Of course.
00:32:14We have a daughter together.
00:32:16Oh, my God.
00:32:18What do I do?
00:32:18I'm going to sleep on the floor.
00:32:26You can take the bed.
00:32:29Thanks.
00:32:31Hey.
00:32:33Are you sure you're okay?
00:32:35Look, fake marriage aside,
00:32:36I'm your husband for the next few days.
00:32:38So if there's something you need,
00:32:40I can help.
00:32:42I want to help.
00:32:43He's Piper's father.
00:32:45He has a right to know.
00:32:46Um, Max.
00:32:50How would you feel if you found out you had a kid?
00:32:57A child?
00:32:59No, no, no.
00:33:00That's impossible.
00:33:01I'm very careful.
00:33:04Mostly.
00:33:04I just mean I'm not the type of guy to sleep around.
00:33:09Family to me is a big commitment,
00:33:11and I don't want any loose ends, you know?
00:33:15Right.
00:33:17He wouldn't want a kid tying him down.
00:33:19I shouldn't tell him about Piper.
00:33:22Why do you ask?
00:33:24No reason.
00:33:25Just curious.
00:33:27No, I feel like you're going somewhere with this.
00:33:30What?
00:33:32No.
00:33:33Well, then, can I ask you a question?
00:33:36Shoot.
00:33:42Where did you get these?
00:33:43And how did you know my exact size?
00:33:46I did not get those.
00:33:48I don't know where those came from.
00:33:50Are you sure you're just not trying to break the contract?
00:33:53Give me the...
00:33:56Give me the...
00:33:57Give me the...
00:33:58Woo!
00:34:09Eva, the truth is...
00:34:12is that I...
00:34:14Go, go, go, go, go.
00:34:18Just a second.
00:34:19Come in!
00:34:21Hey, Helen.
00:34:22Oh!
00:34:24Sorry for interrupting,
00:34:25but Piper is asking for a bedtime story
00:34:28before I tuck her in.
00:34:30Think you can take this one, Dad?
00:34:31We're kind of in the middle of something.
00:34:33I can see that.
00:34:35Well, why don't I read it to her?
00:34:37I mean, if you don't...
00:34:38if you don't mind.
00:34:40Well, atta boy.
00:34:41You know what?
00:34:42Just put a shirt on.
00:34:43I'm gonna go get her.
00:34:44Piper!
00:34:45Here comes Grandpa!
00:34:46He sprang to his sleigh,
00:34:51to his team gave a whistle,
00:34:53and away they all flew,
00:34:54like the down of a thistle.
00:34:56But I heard him exclaim
00:34:57as he drove out of sight,
00:35:00Merry Christmas to all,
00:35:02and to all,
00:35:04a good night.
00:35:05If Piper knew he was her real dad,
00:35:09she'd be over the moon.
00:35:11Good night, Piper.
00:35:16Is her dad still around?
00:35:19Yeah, but he doesn't know it,
00:35:21because you're her dad.
00:35:23Uh, no.
00:35:24That man has no idea
00:35:26what a treasure
00:35:27he's missing out on.
00:35:30Do you really think so?
00:35:34From the bottom of my heart.
00:35:37Maybe I should tell him.
00:35:38He deserves to know.
00:35:46Max.
00:35:50You're Piper's father.
00:35:52I'll tell you
00:36:00when the time's right.
00:36:00I'll tell you when the time's right.
00:36:00Where's Piper?
00:36:27She must have snuck off
00:36:28while we were asleep.
00:36:30God, he's such a good kisser.
00:36:55Just gonna kiss and run?
00:36:58Not on my watch.
00:37:00Yeah, this.
00:37:05I remember this.
00:37:17Good morning, you two love bugs.
00:37:20How was your stay at Chateau Smith?
00:37:23Good morning, Miss Smith.
00:37:24It was, uh, it was great.
00:37:26Wonderful.
00:37:26Well, it's about to get even better.
00:37:31Oh, no.
00:37:32What is that?
00:37:33Sardines and saltines.
00:37:35It's a Smith family classic.
00:37:37It was my gram-grams favorite
00:37:38during wartime.
00:37:39Don't be shy.
00:37:40Go ahead, grab a handful.
00:37:43Max, you don't have to.
00:37:44No, no.
00:37:45It's okay.
00:37:46It's a Smith family staple.
00:37:48Oh, there we go.
00:37:58Here we go.
00:37:59Yeah.
00:38:08Good?
00:38:08Mm.
00:38:10Good?
00:38:11Scrunchy.
00:38:12Well, you two better get dressed.
00:38:14You gotta go see Aunt Miranda.
00:38:18Could I, um, could I have some water, please?
00:38:21That means there's no escaping Aunt Miranda
00:38:23and her brood this year.
00:38:25What's the deal with them?
00:38:26Every year, Aunt Miranda bullies Piper and I.
00:38:29Says Piper's a fatherless brat, and I'm...
00:38:33Hey, don't worry.
00:38:35I'll protect you and Piper.
00:38:36Better have Sam on standby tonight, just in case.
00:38:42Well, looks like it's time to get dressed up then.
00:38:57Wait, that earring.
00:38:59Wait, that earring.
00:39:01You like it?
00:39:03I was so bummed when I lost the matching one years ago.
00:39:06Did you lose it seven years ago?
00:39:08I don't really remember the details,
00:39:10but luckily I was able to find a new pair.
00:39:15Right.
00:39:16Yeah, it's just a common earring.
00:39:17Anyone can have it.
00:39:18Maybe I'm reading too much into it.
00:39:20She can't be the woman from seven years ago.
00:39:25So Ava and Piper still aren't here.
00:39:29But Derek said that Ava got married.
00:39:31What kind of man could she possibly have landed?
00:39:36An aging single mom.
00:39:38Slim pickings.
00:39:39I heard he's in waste management.
00:39:42That explains it.
00:39:43She's probably too embarrassed to show up.
00:39:46Oh, please, Miranda.
00:39:48No, Ava is your niece.
00:39:50Oh, come on, Grandpa.
00:39:52Everyone knows Ava had a kid with a random one-night stand.
00:39:55Her track record speaks for itself.
00:39:57Exactly.
00:39:58Not like my Sierra.
00:40:00Married to a legal advisor for Harrison Group.
00:40:05Oh, they're here.
00:40:07Merry Christmas, everybody.
00:40:14Merry Christmas, everybody.
00:40:16Merry Christmas.
00:40:16You must be Grandpa Harold.
00:40:19I am.
00:40:21I'm Ava's husband, Max.
00:40:23Pleasure to meet you.
00:40:23Welcome.
00:40:24You're Ava's husband.
00:40:26But you're gorgeous.
00:40:30But not as handsome as you.
00:40:33Look at you two.
00:40:34You look like you just stepped out of a movie.
00:40:36Merry Christmas, Grandpa.
00:40:37Merry Christmas.
00:40:39This is for Max and I.
00:40:40Oh, my goodness.
00:40:41Thank you, Ava.
00:40:42Let me grab that for you, Daddy.
00:40:45Oops.
00:40:46Oh, my bad.
00:40:47Oh, a homemade gift.
00:40:50How thrifty.
00:40:52Not all gifts are about the price tag.
00:40:54Mommy's right.
00:40:55You mean all high?
00:40:57You little.
00:40:59You will not lay a hand on my daughter.
00:41:02Or you will lose yours.
00:41:04Oh.
00:41:04I think you broke my wrist.
00:41:07Look what you just did to my mother.
00:41:09My husband is Harrison Group's top legal advisor.
00:41:12He could ruin your life.
00:41:26Mommy, are you okay?
00:41:28I'm fine.
00:41:29I'm just wet, honey.
00:41:30Yeah.
00:41:30It's okay.
00:41:31It's okay.
00:41:32It's okay.
00:41:33What are you?
00:41:36Don't you dare disrespect my husband.
00:41:39Did you just slap me?
00:41:41Next time, it'll be a closed fist.
00:41:43You're a fucking psycho.
00:41:45You know what, Sierra?
00:41:45I can take your little insults, but leave my family out of this.
00:41:51Her family.
00:41:52She means me.
00:41:58You okay, honey?
00:41:59Do I look okay to you, dumbass?
00:42:01Do something.
00:42:03You don't know who you're messing with.
00:42:04I've got the full weight of the Harrison Group behind me.
00:42:07Oh, wow.
00:42:08I'm sure the CEO would love to hear that you're using his company's name to bully people.
00:42:13Like you'd have any idea how a CEO thinks.
00:42:16Let's call him.
00:42:18I'm sure he'd be more than happy to be on my side.
00:42:20Please.
00:42:21Who do you think you are?
00:42:24Enough.
00:42:24There will be no arguing during Christmas.
00:42:29Fine, Dad.
00:42:31Let it go, Nathan.
00:42:32They're just jealous.
00:42:35For Grandpa's sake, I'll let you off easy.
00:42:38I think you owe Nathan a thank you.
00:42:42I think you owe me a thank you for slapping some sense into you.
00:42:45Do you want me to get the other cheek?
00:42:46All right, that's enough.
00:42:48Everyone come inside and sit down.
00:43:11Is this a joke?
00:43:13Can you please pass me some food?
00:43:15Hold it.
00:43:16Who said you could eat anything else?
00:43:18My husband and I paid for this feast.
00:43:24My husband and I paid for this feast.
00:43:28King crab, fresh from Alaska, and grass-fed wagyu.
00:43:33Three times the price, 50 times the flavor.
00:43:36And you don't get a single bite.
00:43:39It's just petty.
00:43:40Maybe so.
00:43:41But gourmet food isn't meant for bottom feeders.
00:43:45Fine.
00:43:45Then we won't stay and eat with you.
00:43:49Come on, let's go.
00:43:50No, no.
00:43:51Don't you dare leave our family dinner.
00:43:54Grandpa, I'm sorry, but they're treating us like...
00:43:57I know, dear.
00:43:58I just want to have our family together.
00:44:00Fine.
00:44:01We'll let the strays sit and eat with us.
00:44:04Better a stray than a bitch.
00:44:06What was that?
00:44:10I just want to have our family together.
00:44:13Fine.
00:44:14We'll stay.
00:44:16Can I have a little napole?
00:44:18It's okay, sweetie.
00:44:19We'll get something right after.
00:44:21Like drive-thru?
00:44:23I hope you enjoy food poisoning.
00:44:25That will be a particularly memorable Christmas present.
00:44:30No strays.
00:44:31Ow.
00:44:32See, see, are you okay?
00:44:34Yes, please.
00:44:35You hit my child.
00:44:36You're fucking crazy.
00:44:38Well, if you'd teach her some manners, maybe I wouldn't have to.
00:44:45Don't worry, baby.
00:44:46I'll handle it.
00:44:47Don't worry, baby.
00:44:51I'll handle it.
00:44:55Piper.
00:44:56Sweetie, are you ready to try the best food you've ever had in your life?
00:45:03Okay, sweetheart.
00:45:04Give me two minutes and one phone call.
00:45:06As if you have a chef on speed dial.
00:45:09Actually, I do.
00:45:11He's such a liar.
00:45:13This ought to be hilarious.
00:45:14Oh, it will be.
00:45:18Sam.
00:45:19Yeah, send the troops and bring that king crab from Antarctica.
00:45:24I'm already on my way.
00:45:29Bring that king crab from Antarctica.
00:45:31I'm already on my way.
00:45:34You hear this guy?
00:45:35He wants the best king crab in the world.
00:45:38From Antarctica.
00:45:40Now I get why you married him, Eva.
00:45:43His silly delusions are just adorable.
00:45:46Max, what are you doing?
00:45:47Don't worry about it, sweetheart.
00:45:49Santa's already on his way.
00:45:51Actually, five, four, three, two, one.
00:46:00A helicopter?
00:46:02There's no way.
00:46:14How did you pull this off?
00:46:16Sam is like family.
00:46:18I thought I'd introduce you to.
00:46:19Thanks, boss.
00:46:21Boss?
00:46:22Eva's always been genuine with me.
00:46:24Maybe it's time she knew who I really am.
00:46:27Eva, I think it's time you actually know the truth.
00:46:30I'm Maximus Harrison.
00:46:34You're the CEO of Harrison Group?
00:46:37Mm-hmm.
00:46:40Come on.
00:46:42You can stop kidding around.
00:46:45If you were the CEO, why would you be here pretending to be my husband?
00:46:48No, I actually am the CEO.
00:46:50Come on.
00:46:51You can stop the charade, okay?
00:46:53This is just another favor from that bigwig friend, isn't it?
00:46:55Eva, I'm not pretending.
00:46:59Mr. Harrison, the Antarctic king crab as you requested.
00:47:02How is this possible?
00:47:14This loser brings Antarctic king crab and has his own personal chef?
00:47:20Who are you?
00:47:22I told you.
00:47:23I'm Eva's husband.
00:47:24That chef called him Mr. Harrison.
00:47:27Wait.
00:47:28No.
00:47:28Hold on.
00:47:29You're the actual CEO of the Harrison Group?
00:47:34You're worth more than some whole countries.
00:47:37Hmm.
00:47:38Some of the small ones.
00:47:40I mean, you know that.
00:47:42You work for me.
00:47:43Oh, God.
00:47:44I insulted my own boss.
00:47:46I'm finished.
00:47:52Oh, God.
00:47:53I insulted my own boss.
00:47:56I'm finished.
00:47:56I didn't think Max would commit this hard.
00:47:59Pretending to be CEO is a hell of a move.
00:48:01Worth every penny I'm paying him.
00:48:03For tonight, your fee stands.
00:48:06And with that, your career.
00:48:08You're fired.
00:48:10Fired?
00:48:11Sam?
00:48:15Fired?
00:48:16Oh, God.
00:48:17I can't be fired.
00:48:19What?
00:48:21Mr. Harrison, please.
00:48:22You can have as much crab as you want.
00:48:24Please, Mr. Harrison, I'll do anything.
00:48:27Guys, take out the trash.
00:48:31And you.
00:48:36Oh, me?
00:48:38Mr. Harrison, come on.
00:48:40That was a Christmas joke.
00:48:41A family tradition.
00:48:43Yeah, well, there's a new family tradition.
00:48:46Sam?
00:48:46Sam?
00:48:48Hmm.
00:48:50Will you do me the honors?
00:48:51Gladly.
00:48:58Merry Christmas, Aunt Maria.
00:49:02Father, do something.
00:49:04Well, you kind of deserve that.
00:49:06I'm leaving.
00:49:08Mmm.
00:49:09Pumpkin's my favorite.
00:49:10Ha, ha, ha.
00:49:16Come on, sweetie.
00:49:17Daddy had this crab line just for you.
00:49:20Eat as much as you want.
00:49:21Thanks, Daddy.
00:49:25I am so sorry I ruined your Christmas.
00:49:27I just couldn't take them treating you like that.
00:49:30Honestly?
00:49:31This is the best Christmas I've ever had.
00:49:34Well, if you want, we can have many more.
00:49:36Just like this.
00:49:37Does he really mean that?
00:49:39Or is he just playing the part?
00:49:41I can't tell.
00:49:43And that terrifies me.
00:49:44Merry Christmas, Mrs. Harrison.
00:49:50I brought you a gift.
00:49:51Here's the paternity test between the boss and that little girl.
00:49:54Oh.
00:49:54Oh, this is wonderful.
00:50:02Sam, I have a granddaughter.
00:50:05Tell me everything.
00:50:07Miss Eva Smith, single mother, small town gal, didn't finish high school, currently works in retail.
00:50:12Oh, Maximus.
00:50:14I thought I raised you better.
00:50:16A high school dropout?
00:50:18In the Harrison family?
00:50:21What a chance.
00:50:22She is clearly unfit to raise my granddaughter.
00:50:29Maximus seems to like her.
00:50:30Silence.
00:50:31Get me the address where she works.
00:50:33It's Happy Heels on Broadway.
00:50:35That's nice.
00:50:36We own that one.
00:50:38Good work.
00:50:39But take off that stupid hat.
00:50:51Thanks.
00:50:51So your dad insisted that I try this wine that he's been saving for 20 years.
00:50:58Sounds like he's happy with his new son-in-law.
00:51:00And how about you?
00:51:05Me?
00:51:06Yeah.
00:51:08Are you happy with your new husband?
00:51:13Eva.
00:51:21That birthmark.
00:51:26Family to me is a big commitment, and I don't want any loose ends, you know?
00:51:33Maximus, there's so much we don't know.
00:51:35So much we're not telling each other.
00:51:36No feelings, no complications.
00:51:40That's what we agreed upon.
00:51:41Yeah, I didn't sign a contract.
00:51:44Max.
00:51:45Yeah, I guess you're right.
00:51:48It's cold.
00:51:50Maybe I'll go grab some more firewood.
00:51:54Max.
00:51:54I need to tell you something.
00:51:59It's something important.
00:52:01What's gotten into her?
00:52:03Is she hiding something?
00:52:05Is this the part where you tell me there's no Santa?
00:52:07I haven't been completely honest with you.
00:52:12Piper is...
00:52:15Piper is...
00:52:17Mommy, Daddy, my hand hurts.
00:52:20Oh, sweetie.
00:52:21Oh, my gosh.
00:52:22It's unswollen.
00:52:23Must have been when that witch smacked her with the fork earlier.
00:52:26Listen, you stay here with Daddy.
00:52:27Mommy's gonna go get a first aid kit, okay?
00:52:31Come on, Piper.
00:52:35Okay, let me see.
00:52:37I promise I won't let anyone hurt you or Mommy again.
00:52:43But that's not true.
00:52:45You're leaving after Christmas, aren't you?
00:52:49Uh...
00:52:49Daddy!
00:52:50No!
00:52:52Well...
00:52:56Don't you dare disrespect my husband.
00:53:03Well, maybe I don't have to leave.
00:53:07Well, maybe I don't have to leave.
00:53:08Really?
00:53:09Please stay, Daddy.
00:53:10You think it was Scar?
00:53:18I wouldn't worry about it.
00:53:21Scars make you look like a badass.
00:53:23I have one, too.
00:53:25Dad.
00:53:27I got that when I was about your age.
00:53:29Some punk came at me with a switchblade.
00:53:32Really?
00:53:33No way.
00:53:33No, it was actually a cactus.
00:53:36But it's still cool.
00:53:39I have something like that on the back of my neck.
00:53:45Piper, how long have you had that?
00:53:47My mom said I had that when I was born.
00:53:49And how old are you?
00:53:56Six.
00:53:57Six?
00:53:58That one night stand was about seven years ago.
00:54:01Okay, I found the first aid kit.
00:54:03Ivar, are you sure we haven't met before?
00:54:04What do I even say?
00:54:09And how do I explain it to Piper?
00:54:11Sorry, honey.
00:54:12This man's your dad, and he didn't know you existed until now.
00:54:16Um, yeah.
00:54:20Can I see your hand, sweetie?
00:54:22Eva.
00:54:23Okay, look.
00:54:30Piper is...
00:54:35Go on.
00:54:43That must be an emergency.
00:54:46Excuse me.
00:54:47Sorry.
00:54:48I'll take this.
00:54:53Mommy, are you okay?
00:54:57Yeah.
00:54:59Mommy's just realizing she's a coward.
00:55:02I don't even have the guts to tell the truth.
00:55:07Why haven't you picked up my calls?
00:55:09I'm telling you, Max, that woman is manipulating you.
00:55:13She's a high school dropout.
00:55:15Doesn't even have a decent job.
00:55:17And she's unfit to raise my granddaughter.
00:55:20I'm Eva's husband.
00:55:21Max.
00:55:21That man has no idea what a treasure he's missing out on.
00:55:30I'm sorry, Max.
00:55:31You can't know Piper's your daughter.
00:55:33Your mother would take her away.
00:55:35After Christmas, it's over.
00:55:39Eva?
00:55:41Maximus?
00:55:41Are you even listening to me?
00:55:44No, Mom, Mom, listen.
00:55:45I'm sorry, okay?
00:55:46Eva's my wife, and I've made up my mind.
00:55:49I'm not leaving her.
00:55:49Eva?
00:55:51Eva?
00:56:01Oh, thank you.
00:56:03This is for you, Grandma.
00:56:04Oh, wow.
00:56:11That's so cool.
00:56:12What did you make?
00:56:14Derek, this is from Eva and I.
00:56:17Oh, thank you so much.
00:56:19Just glad you're here.
00:56:23Oh!
00:56:24Oh!
00:56:25Damn, these are nice.
00:56:27Grandpa, language, little ears.
00:56:30Piper, do you want to go see your present?
00:56:37It's in the other room by the train set.
00:56:39Here, I'll go with you.
00:56:40Remember the song that we sang?
00:56:41Ready, ready?
00:56:42Grandma got run over by a reindeer.
00:56:45What do we got, guys?
00:56:45Billy.
00:56:46Walking home from our house, Christmas Eve.
00:56:48You never told me, have we met before?
00:57:01Have we met before?
00:57:04She's unfit to raise my granddaughter.
00:57:06I don't know what you're getting at.
00:57:12Eva, I have the same birthmark as Piper.
00:57:23I don't know what you're talking about.
00:57:24Lots of people have birthmarks.
00:57:26They're very common.
00:57:27I feel so awful, but I can't lose my child,
00:57:30no matter how I feel about him.
00:57:34Maybe.
00:57:36Are you okay?
00:57:40Are the clogs a bad idea?
00:57:44No.
00:57:45I'm fine.
00:57:47Um.
00:57:48Oh, I almost forgot.
00:57:52I got you this.
00:57:54You got me a gift, too?
00:57:55Tis the season.
00:57:57Open it.
00:58:06Gloves.
00:58:13Did you make these?
00:58:15Yeah.
00:58:16I know this is a fake marriage,
00:58:17but that's Christmas.
00:58:20You've already done so much for me,
00:58:21I just wanted to do a little something for you.
00:58:23How do they feel?
00:58:27Warm, right?
00:58:29Yeah.
00:58:30Warm.
00:58:32Soft.
00:58:35Perfect.
00:58:36Thank you, Eva.
00:58:41I've never gotten anything this meaningful before.
00:58:46Really?
00:58:46Yeah, my mom.
00:58:48She partied all the time.
00:58:50And I got gifts.
00:58:52Plenty of them, but...
00:58:54I don't think she ever bought one herself.
00:58:57Nothing personal.
00:59:00Well, you deserve it.
00:59:02You're a good guy.
00:59:03And someday you'll find someone special
00:59:08to spend all your Christmases with.
00:59:12What if that day's today?
00:59:16What if I already found someone special?
00:59:20Right here.
00:59:33Max, we can't...
00:59:48If you want me to stop,
00:59:51you better tell me right now.
00:59:56Come on.
00:59:58I don't want you to stop.
01:00:03No matter how many years pass,
01:00:07I still can't resist him.
01:00:12I don't want you.
01:00:23Oh, God, you are driving me fucking insane.
01:00:37I don't want you to drive me.
01:00:39Piper!
01:00:39Piper!
01:00:48Piper?
01:00:50She can't see us.
01:00:53Eva?
01:01:10Eva?
01:01:14Grandma, I'm up here.
01:01:23that was way too close yeah we would have gotten on the naughty list
01:01:32sometimes it's fun to be naughty
01:01:38can i still unwrap my present
01:01:43you still haven't given me mine
01:01:47let me give it to you
01:01:53yes
01:02:00yeah
01:02:05yeah
01:02:10yeah
01:02:17yeah
01:02:21Who's calling me this already?
01:02:36Hello?
01:02:37Hello, Eva Smith.
01:02:39I'm Max's mother.
01:02:40Name your price.
01:02:41What will it take for you to leave my son alone?
01:02:45What?
01:02:46We both know my son is way out of your league.
01:02:48Take the money, leave my granddaughter with us, and go.
01:02:53My son will find a better wife and a better mother for his child.
01:02:57Piper is my daughter.
01:02:59And no amount of money you offer could ever make me give her up.
01:03:01So you keep your money, and I'll leave on my own.
01:03:04But I am not handing Piper over to you.
01:03:09Well, there's my beautiful wife.
01:03:15You okay?
01:03:18Look, we made it through Christmas.
01:03:23So I think it's best we go our separate ways.
01:03:27What are you talking about?
01:03:29It's over.
01:03:30It's not that hard to understand.
01:03:35Eva, wait!
01:03:40So last night meant nothing to you?
01:03:41Well, Max, it's not real.
01:03:49None of it was real.
01:03:50So, it's just a goodbye.
01:03:54Didn't realize that was so disposable for you.
01:03:57Look.
01:04:00Last night,
01:04:01I let my guard down.
01:04:04But I'm a mother, and my choices affect Piper.
01:04:07And being with you can mess up everything between us.
01:04:09But just tell me what you need.
01:04:12I'll do whatever it takes to be a good husband,
01:04:14a good father.
01:04:16Just say the word.
01:04:23You don't get it.
01:04:25You don't get it.
01:04:26I think it's time Piper and I go back to New York.
01:04:40I won't give up on us.
01:04:41Are we here?
01:04:59Yes.
01:05:00As much as I don't want us to be,
01:05:02we're back.
01:05:06Piper, sweetie, wake up.
01:05:08We're home.
01:05:09How can she just walk away?
01:05:22Don't forget, you have to meet my mom.
01:05:24It's part of the agreement, too.
01:05:27Can I just pay you a little extra and skip it?
01:05:30You promised.
01:05:31Eva, I haven't asked you for much.
01:05:34Can you do this for me, please?
01:05:37All right, fine.
01:05:38When?
01:05:40Two days.
01:05:42I'll come pick you up.
01:05:43No need.
01:05:45Just send me the address and I'll meet you there.
01:05:52I know you and Mommy thought,
01:05:55but she still really likes you.
01:05:57So don't give up, okay, Daddy?
01:05:59Thank you, sweetie.
01:06:01If there's one thing you should know about your Daddy,
01:06:03I always fight for the ones I love.
01:06:05If you got to be honest.
01:06:14Wait.
01:06:15Then at the end,
01:06:15say the truth.
01:06:20If you go ahead and turn it aside,
01:06:21you just stick ten times.
01:06:23Eva's meeting my mother today
01:06:27Time to finally tell her the truth
01:06:29Boss?
01:06:32Boss?
01:06:36Lady and gentlemen, I am so sorry
01:06:38I need to go win back my family
01:06:41Family?
01:06:43Boss, you okay?
01:06:44Never better
01:06:45Go get her, Max
01:06:48Give it your best smile
01:06:54Ah, there he is
01:06:56Maximus, darling
01:06:58I have some prospects for you
01:07:01Nice high society girls
01:07:03From the city
01:07:04Oh
01:07:07I told you
01:07:10I already found the woman I love
01:07:11Maximus, stop this
01:07:20That Eva woman is scamming you, son
01:07:23Tell me what kind of woman you want
01:07:26And I'll find you another
01:07:27You are heir to the Harrison dynasty
01:07:30No, I'm not
01:07:32Oh
01:07:34I work in waste management
01:07:36And I'm a secret crime boss
01:07:38I'm Eva's husband
01:07:40And I'm a father
01:07:41What?
01:07:57Oh, that's her
01:07:58The woman who got my son head over heels
01:08:02Hi, welcome in
01:08:05Can I help you find something?
01:08:07I wanted to try those
01:08:08Awesome, I'll get them for you right away
01:08:13Are you sure you wouldn't want something more sensible?
01:08:20No, no, no
01:08:21I know what I want
01:08:23Size 7
01:08:24Oh, baby can't even walk
01:08:27But she wants $3,000 heels
01:08:29Come on
01:08:30She wants the white shoes
01:08:32Ignore her
01:08:38She's just grumpy over the holidays
01:08:40Here, let me help you
01:08:42Come on
01:08:42She
01:08:46Seems kind
01:08:49I shouldn't be that impressed
01:08:55She's just doing her job
01:08:57How do they feel?
01:09:00Well, I love the style
01:09:01But it's too small
01:09:03I think I need a size up
01:09:05Maybe my feet are still growing
01:09:08Right away
01:09:11I'll be right back
01:09:12She's not only kind
01:09:14She's patient
01:09:16Was I wrong about her?
01:09:17Are you gluing the heel back on?
01:09:35Well, who gives a shit?
01:09:38She can't walk
01:09:39That's just pure evil
01:09:45Oh, come on, St. Eva
01:09:49She's in a wheelchair
01:09:51Who cares?
01:09:52It's the last pair
01:09:53I get paid commission
01:09:56I'm not doing that, Vanessa
01:10:03See?
01:10:06This is your whole problem
01:10:08This is why you'll always be broke
01:10:11I don't care if she can walk or not
01:10:15I'm not selling her junk
01:10:17She has to deal with people like this?
01:10:21People who insult her all day?
01:10:24I'm your manager
01:10:25Sell the old bitty the shoes
01:10:31Or you're fired
01:10:32Did I stutter?
01:10:43You don't have to fire me
01:10:45I quit
01:10:48I don't work here anymore
01:10:55Listen, don't buy the shoes
01:10:58They're broken
01:11:00Spend your heart and money elsewhere, okay?
01:11:02You're a good person, after all
01:11:04Looks like I misjudged you
01:11:07I'm sorry?
01:11:11Why are you still here, Eva?
01:11:13Get out!
01:11:14You're not disabled?
01:11:21Selling a broken heel to someone you thought was handicapped?
01:11:26Absolutely shameful
01:11:27Who are you?
01:11:29I am the chairwoman of the Harrison Group
01:11:33And the owner of the store
01:11:35You're Eleanor Harrison?
01:11:38Mother of the CEO?
01:11:40I am
01:11:41And you, my dear, are fired
01:11:44What did I do?
01:11:48You are a good person
01:11:50From now on, this store is yours to run
01:11:55Are you serious?
01:12:01That's right
01:12:02Don't be nervous, child
01:12:04You are professional
01:12:06Responsible
01:12:08Far better than that two-bit manager
01:12:11You
01:12:15Out
01:12:16I'll leave
01:12:17I'm leaving
01:12:21I
01:12:24I
01:12:25I feel like I'm dreaming
01:12:26No
01:12:28Don't worry
01:12:29You're getting a promotion
01:12:31You deserve it, my dear
01:12:33Thank you
01:12:35Thank you
01:12:36First assignment
01:12:37I want that row
01:12:39And that row
01:12:41And the entire display case
01:12:44Pack it all up
01:12:46And bring it to my house
01:12:47Okay
01:12:48Yeah
01:12:49Once we're home
01:12:52I'll tell her I'm her mother-in-law
01:12:54I can't wait to finally meet my granddaughter
01:12:57She's the mother of a CEO
01:13:05Of course she lives like this
01:13:07Mrs. Harrison?
01:13:19I'm here with your delivery
01:13:20Max?
01:13:24Eva
01:13:25What are you doing here?
01:13:29I, uh
01:13:29There you are, Eva
01:13:31Wonderful we can finally meet each other properly
01:13:35My new daughter-in-law
01:13:38What are you talking about?
01:13:43That means you really are the CEO of Harrison Group
01:13:46Well, I tried to tell you, but
01:13:49Stop
01:13:50And you
01:13:52You lied to me at the store
01:13:54You were both just testing me?
01:13:57Is this some sick game rich people play?
01:14:00I'm sorry, Eva
01:14:01I thought you might be using my son
01:14:03Just after his money
01:14:05But I was wrong
01:14:06Eva, please
01:14:07I don't deserve to be treated like this
01:14:09Not every working class girl is after your money
01:14:12How could you think that of me?
01:14:14It's not like that, dear
01:14:16Eva, what are you talking about?
01:14:19Mom
01:14:20What did you do?
01:14:21I was just trying to get the two of you back together
01:14:24We're not together
01:14:25And I can't love something that was never real
01:14:28I made a horrible mistake
01:14:35What are you waiting for, son?
01:14:37Go after her
01:14:38Eva
01:14:43Let me go
01:14:44I swear, it's not what you think
01:14:46But we come from two completely different worlds
01:14:48Stop pretending like you care
01:14:49I'm not pretending
01:14:50Okay, I can't fake what we have
01:14:52And everything I've done for you
01:14:54And Piper
01:14:55This is real
01:14:56Touch my wife again
01:15:02And I will snap every finger that you've got
01:15:05Max, you came
01:15:06God, you are driving me fucking insane
01:15:10I'll do whatever it takes to be a good husband
01:15:13A good father
01:15:15Just say the word
01:15:16See?
01:15:22Stop fighting
01:15:23We belong together
01:15:26You're wrong
01:15:28Wrong about what?
01:15:30That you care
01:15:32Or we belong together
01:15:34Look, I already told you
01:15:36We're from two completely different worlds
01:15:38Now I held up my end of the deal
01:15:40And I met your mother
01:15:41Like we discussed
01:15:42I want a fake divorce from my fake cousin
01:15:45I'm sorry, Maximus
01:15:56Walking away is the only choice I have
01:15:59Ow
01:16:07Are you okay, Mommy?
01:16:10Yeah, sweetie
01:16:11I'm fine
01:16:11Come here
01:16:13No, you're not fine
01:16:22You're sad
01:16:23I'm okay, sweetie
01:16:27I miss Daddy, too
01:16:31I want Max to be my real Daddy
01:16:36Don't you want to be with him?
01:16:40I'm a bug
01:16:43You're right
01:16:45What am I doing?
01:16:47Running like a coward?
01:16:50I've always taught you to be brave
01:16:51Now it's time for Mommy to be brave, too
01:16:55I believe in you
01:16:57What are you gonna do, Mommy?
01:17:00I know exactly what to say to him
01:17:02Maximus deserves to know
01:17:06Piper is his daughter
01:17:08Enough sulking
01:17:16Go get your wife and my grandbaby back
01:17:20Don't you think I want to?
01:17:23She doesn't want me
01:17:24I didn't raise you to give up
01:17:26Your daughter is still out there
01:17:27You can't abandon her
01:17:29Mom, you don't get it
01:17:31I made a deal with Eva
01:17:33To play my wife
01:17:34And Piper, she was
01:17:36An added bonus
01:17:37What are you talking about?
01:17:40I already ran a DNA test
01:17:42Piper is your daughter
01:17:45What?
01:17:47See for yourself
01:17:48I was right
01:17:55Seven years ago
01:17:56New Year's
01:17:58That woman was Eva
01:17:59Eva
01:18:10Hey
01:18:12Daddy
01:18:14Daddy
01:18:16Piper
01:18:17Piper
01:18:17I missed you so much, sweetheart
01:18:22You came back
01:18:29I, uh
01:18:32Don't forget to be brave, Mommy
01:18:37I, uh
01:18:43I was scared
01:18:45But I don't want to be scared anymore
01:18:47Because what we have is real
01:18:50And it's worth fighting for
01:18:51Sweetheart, I have
01:18:54Something to tell you
01:18:56I have something to tell you, too
01:18:58Piper is your daughter
01:19:02You knew
01:19:03My sweet granddaughter
01:19:06Grandma
01:19:07Well, I just found out for sure
01:19:12A few minutes ago
01:19:13But you've known this whole time
01:19:14I was scared
01:19:15Okay, I didn't know
01:19:17If you were gonna take her from me
01:19:18I didn't know
01:19:19How you were feeling
01:19:20How could you not know
01:19:22How I felt
01:19:23I love you, Eva
01:19:36I love you, too
01:19:39I promise
01:19:41For the rest of my life
01:19:43I'm going to make it up to you
01:19:44As long as we're together
01:19:47It doesn't matter where we are
01:19:49Will you marry me, Eva?
01:20:01For real this time?
01:20:03Yes
01:20:04Yes, of course
01:20:06I'll marry you
01:20:06Yes
01:20:11Looks like you're stuck with me
01:20:20The next Christmas
01:20:21And the Christmas after that
01:20:23And forever
01:20:23I wouldn't have it any other way
01:20:28Who's that?
01:20:35Eva!
01:20:38Take me back!
01:20:40Looks like I have to take out the trash
01:20:48Again
01:20:49No?
01:20:53Not funny?
