00:00Hey, big brother. When are you going to make it official? Tell him you're chairman. And, yeah, the richest man in Texas. You bringing the wife and kids home for Christmas?
00:08No rush.
00:09Ugh. I've been acting CEO for years. I want a vacation. I want a boyfriend. I want to travel.
00:15How about tomorrow, company gala, you let your sister-in-law take over? You can have a little bit of a breather.
00:22Oh, also, um, can you set up Michael's job beforehand? I want to give the kid a surprise.
00:27Done. I'll set it all up.
00:30All right, listen, I got to get going. Emily and the kids are coming back. I need to finish up Christmas Eve dinner. Bye.
00:41What?
00:45Emily, Emily. Golly, you got this for us? Wow. I mean, you've always been such a conservative type. What a surprise.
00:55Wow. Must be Emily and the kids coming back.
00:58All right, Mark. Time to show her you still got it.
01:03Emily, you're back.
01:04Yeah, Jamie. I just got home. I miss you so much.
01:08Mm-hmm.
01:15I'm glad you're home.
01:17I need a blanket from the bedroom.
01:19A hickey?
01:29Emily, what's on your neck? What is this?
01:31I said I need a blanket.
01:37That lingerie, it wasn't for me.
01:40I'm glad you're home.
01:49You really think he knows what you want?
02:15Oh, Jamie. I want to show you a side of me that no one's seen before.
02:27A side no one knows?
02:28My one true love.
02:32One true love?
02:33So it's not that you hate this stuff.
02:42You just hate wearing it for me?
02:50What else do you want to see? I'll shoot it for you.
02:54Emily!
02:55Emily!
02:57Tell me the truth.
02:58What did you do in our bed behind my back?
03:03Emily!
03:04Tell me the truth.
03:07What are you doing?
03:08What is this?
03:09Start talking.
03:10What did you do?
03:12Who said you didn't go through my stuff?
03:13That's my privacy.
03:15Give it back.
03:16You're disgusting.
03:17Go!
03:19I'm disgusting?
03:21I'm disgusting?
03:22I broke my back for this family.
03:25For your career.
03:26And you're texting dirty photos and screwing some guy.
03:31You betrayed our love.
03:34We're working on photography.
03:36It's art.
03:37Why are you overreacting?
03:39Art?
03:40What do you think?
03:40I'm stupid?
03:41How long have you been screwing this bastard?
03:44Don't call him a bastard.
03:46Jamie understands me.
03:47He cares for me.
03:49He's the best friend I could ever ask for.
03:51You!
03:53Dad!
03:54Dad!
03:54Get your hands off!
03:56Get off of her!
03:57Dad!
03:58Mom, are you okay?
04:00How could you weigh a hand more long?
04:02Go ahead.
04:03Go ahead.
04:04Tell our kids.
04:04Tell our kids how you and Jamie are just friends.
04:07I have nothing to hide.
04:10Mark, I have dealt with your lack of ambition, your laziness, you living off of me, and you
04:15can't just trust me?
04:17Dad!
04:19You've got it wrong.
04:20Mom and Uncle Jamie are just friends.
04:26Please, what woman doesn't have a bestie?
04:28Yeah, Dad.
04:29Jamie is an accountant at the factory Mom works at.
04:32He even secured me a job.
04:34Just don't make a scene about this, okay?
04:37You knew?
04:39You two knew?
04:40You two knew?
04:44Emma, Michael, what-
04:45Have I not been a good father to you?
04:50Darling!
04:50You left something at my place!
04:54Guess what?
04:55Surprise!
04:58What the fuck is this?
05:00Darling!
05:01You left something at my place!
05:05Guess what?
05:06Surprise!
05:08Ha ha ha ha ha!
05:08Also, Jamie!
05:10Oh my God!
05:11Oh my God!
05:11Oh my God!
05:11Oh my God!
05:12Oh my God!
05:12Oh my God!
05:12Oh my God!
05:13Oh my God!
05:14Oh my God!
05:15Oh my God!
05:15So you're Jamie.
05:17Hi.
05:18Jamie.
05:18Jamie.
05:20Accounting supervisor at Lone Star Petrochem, Texas's largest petrochemical company, and
05:30a friend of Emily's.
05:40You betrayed me for this clown?
05:43Who is your husband always this royal?
05:45Mark, I didn't show you those photos because I knew you would spiral.
05:48I have known Jamie longer than I've known you.
05:51If we wanted to do something, we would have done it already.
05:53But is there no limit to your drama?
05:55Dad, seriously?
05:56I mean, can't a marriage have a little trust?
05:59Yeah, Dad, let him go.
06:00My career is depending on him.
06:02Fine!
06:03Hi!
06:04You!
06:05All of you!
06:06Mark, Emily and I have the same taste.
06:08Okay?
06:09Those photos are art.
06:11Art, just to make her happy.
06:14Also, thank you for sharing your beautiful life with me.
06:21If it makes you uncomfortable, I guess I could stop shooting.
06:25Get out!
06:30That's it.
06:31After all these years, I am done with you.
06:33You are the most useless man I have ever met.
06:38I have to fight my way to the top with no one to lean on.
06:41Jamie is the one who got me on the board.
06:45And you?
06:46Besides cooking, what have you done for me?
06:48You doubt me.
06:49You trust me.
06:50Trust me.
06:51I never helped you.
06:55The only reason that your acting director is beat your resume-
06:58Oh, enough!
06:59You never understood me.
07:01My biggest mistake was marrying a deadweight like you.
07:09Deadweight.
07:12Emily, 20 years ago, when you were dying and everybody bailed on you, who was there for
07:19you?
07:20Who gave you your medicine?
07:22Who fed you?
07:23Who sat up with you every single night?
07:26Me!
07:28Me!
07:30And I'm deadweight.
07:31Emily, you're gonna get better.
07:36Okay?
07:37You are.
07:38I know it.
07:39Listen, don't you worry.
07:40Don't you worry about the money.
07:41I'll take care of everything.
07:42I promise.
07:43You should find yourself another girl.
07:45I'm just a burden.
07:47Not a lot of time left.
07:49Don't you.
07:50Don't you.
07:51Shh.
07:52Don't you say that.
07:54Don't you ever say that.
07:56You are my wife.
07:58From now until forever.
08:00And you are not a burden.
08:02Remembering.
08:03Till death do us part.
08:05And sickness and health.
08:07I'm yours.
08:08Till death do us part.
08:10Don't you ask if you're married.
08:11Thanks.
08:12Thanks.
08:13Well.
08:14Oh.
08:15Oh.
08:16Oh.
08:17Oh.
08:18Sorry.
08:19Oh.
08:21Oh.
08:22Oh.
08:23Oh.
08:24you've forgotten them. And I missed my mother's last moment because of you. I never asked you to
08:30do that. That was your own choice. And besides, you've been a parasite in my home for years.
08:37Eating my food, living off my dime. I think the debt has been paid in full.
08:42You. Emily, this is all my fault. I got Christmas presents for all of you. But since Mark isn't a
08:52fan of me, I'll give them to you all early. And then I'll be gone from your lives for forever.
08:58Oh, okay. Got one. And here you go.
09:09Oh, oh my gosh. A Porsche 911? Uncle Jamie, this is my dream car. Thank you. You're so generous.
09:22The latest Louis Vuitton bag. Oh my gosh.
09:29And Chanel perfumes.
09:40Jamie, this is too much.
09:44It's nothing, okay? I saw you all tying it in the windows and I picked it up.
09:50Uncle Jamie, is this how you won mom over back then? With all this kindness? Her first love.
09:58Molly, wait. First love? Back then, Emily was ill and work sent me overseas.
10:07I failed her once. Now, as long as she's happy, I'll guard her from afar.
10:17Uncle Jamie did all that for mom. That's true love.
10:22But wait. Mark, you haven't been happy with mom in a long time.
10:27I think it's time to step aside and let Uncle Jamie take a witness.
10:34No, mom. Michael.
10:37All those years. All that blood, sweat, and tears raise in you.
10:42And he comes along with some handout? And you're just gonna forget that everything that your own father did for you?
10:50Did for us? Mom is the one who's been working day and night while you were at home doing nothing.
10:56She's about to become executive director. You shouldn't be holding her back.
11:00Don't look at me, Dad. I mean, you've got no game.
11:06Uncle Jamie promised me after the new year, I'm in at Lone Star Petrochem.
11:11So my future, my income, that's all coming from him.
11:16You, no job, no money. I mean, there's really nothing for you to give me, Dad.
11:22So, uh, beep, beep, beep.
11:30Oh, I love this, Dad. There's you right there. What's that?
11:36I think it's a meerkat. I think it is a meerkat. What do you got on here?
11:40Lots of buses and trucks. Nice. You see what I drew? Pink.
11:43This is us. You like my pink hair? Yeah. Hi.
11:51Want to put more on? Oh, I like this panda bear.
11:53We'll love you forever, Dad. You. Both of you.
12:05Some kids I raised, huh?
12:09Two thankless little bastards.
12:12I should go with that. Whoa.
12:17I'm the problem.
12:21Great.
12:23I'll go.
12:27Oh, uh, yeah. After you, please.
12:29Go for it. Yeah, I'll do it that way.
12:32Emily's about to be bumped up to executive director. I need them divorced. So she ends up with me.
12:39Mark, what are you doing? The one who should be leaving is-
12:46Are you insane? Jamie, are you okay? Do you need to go to the hospital?
12:50Jamie, do you need to go to the hospital?
12:53He only lashed out because he's afraid of losing all this. I don't believe enough.
12:58Dad, Uncle Jamie was just trying to help. How can you be so ungrateful?
13:04He hits Uncle Jamie today. He'll hit mom tomorrow.
13:07Mom, I've got to divorce him.
13:09Look, I didn't even touch him.
13:10Shut up!
13:19You're impossible, Mark. You dare leave a hand on my friend?
13:23Get out. Right now.
13:24Emily, have you forgotten how I took care of the hospital back then?
13:28I mean, even a dog I raised would be more grateful than you.
13:34I've paid for everything, including the clothes that you're wearing right now.
13:38You're the ungrateful one, you bum. Get out of my house!
13:42Emma, Michael, strip the trash.
13:45No, Emma, Michael, it's Christmas. Please, please help me your father. Please don't do this.
13:51Don't do this, please. No, please. Please don't.
14:09Get out. Don't ruin our family's Christmas.
14:16Marriage is over. We're getting a divorce.
14:19Uncle Jamie's part of our family now. Get out, old man.
14:23Yeah, get off your butt and leave us, old fart.
14:38On this Christmas, let's give thanks for the food in front of us,
14:42the family between us, and the love around us.
14:45Family. Love. Lies.
14:54Jennifer, we need to talk.
15:03You're the one who put Emily on the ladder.
15:05Michael's job, I placed him because you asked.
15:09And this is how they treat you? Heartless.
15:11Heartless. Absolutely heartless.
15:22Mark, she's just a regular woman. No power, no pull.
15:28Why keep your identity under wraps from her?
15:30Emily's a very proud woman. If she knew the truth about me, she might feel unworthy and want to marry me.
15:36So, I keep that quiet. And I give her the best of everything from the shadows.
15:45She's not worth it.
15:48This watch.
15:50Mom left it to you.
15:52Back then, she forced herself through the pain just to see you one last time.
15:55Mom.
16:02Have the doctor give me the shot.
16:07I have to see Mark one last time.
16:14It'll hurt so much.
16:15Mark, please hurry.
16:29Hi, was that mom? How's she doing?
16:42Oh, no, it was no one.
16:44Is that soup? I'm starving.
16:46Yeah, I was hoping to hear from her.
16:50I'm sure she'll call soon.
16:51I hope you're hungry. I can't get it off.
16:54Oh, it's your chicken noodle.
16:55Yes, it is.
16:56My favorite.
16:56Oh.
17:12Mark, honey, it's chilly. Make sure you bundle up.
17:17Mom.
17:18No.
17:22I didn't want to wreck your marriage.
17:23So I never told you.
17:39I'm divorcing Emily.
17:43I need you to do something for me, Jennifer.
17:45Mom.
17:52Emma, did you get a hold of a plumber?
17:54I tried to click and faucet blew.
17:56It's Christmas.
17:58Every plumber's off.
18:00Dad would have fixed it already.
18:01He would have had it done in minutes.
18:03Yeah.
18:04He's better at this stuff than I am.
18:06Yeah.
18:06No. Mark is only good at patching pipes.
18:10He's nowhere near your league.
18:11Hello.
18:21What?
18:23What did you just say?
18:30What happened?
18:32My uncle Tom runs HR over at the Petrochem plant.
18:36He says he just saw Mark, the current executive director.
18:39He's not going to take this to the board, is he?
18:41What?
18:42Mom's promotion can't take a hit.
18:44She's supposed to secure me a job in the new year.
18:46Yeah.
18:48Mark just can't stand to see me win.
18:51He's pulling stunts to put me in a corner.
18:53Jamie, what do I do?
18:54Relax.
18:56I know the executive director.
18:58She likes me.
18:59I will call her.
19:03Thank you, Jamie.
19:05Don't thank me yet.
19:12Mark, are you really sad at doing this at the gala?
19:16You once gave up everything and told me to back Emily with care.
19:20If you do this, she loses it all.
19:26I know.
19:29Hello, Miss Jennifer.
19:34It's Janie.
19:36Just a heads up.
19:37Please do not let rumors sway you about Emily's promotion to the board.
19:42She's responsible.
19:43Professional.
19:45She can do the job.
19:48We're done here.
19:49You don't get to interfere.
19:51Tell Emily to prepare.
19:53At the annual gala, there's a big surprise coming her way.
19:57What did the board say?
20:09Relax.
20:10Miss Jennifer says, get ready.
20:14There's a big surprise.
20:16Sounds like they are going to name you as the next executive director at the gala.
20:20The mystery chairman is going to be there and he will personally deliver you that promotion.
20:25Oh, really?
20:26Really?
20:26Oh my gosh, Mom.
20:28Mom, congrats.
20:29And once you're on the board, your boy's going to walk up in there like he owns the place.
20:33Hashtag golden boy.
20:35Mom, one to the director.
20:38You've got to butt my allowance.
20:39Then I can snag myself a rich boyfriend on campus.
20:43Hashtag golden girl.
20:45Cheers.
20:46I've waited years, so when you're on the board, don't forget us.
21:02Wait, the kids are here.
21:04No wonder they call this Texas's biggest petrochemical plant.
21:14Look at this gala.
21:16Oh, please.
21:17When Mom's the executive director, this place will basically be ours.
21:24Shall we?
21:27Yes.
21:27Congratulations.
21:41Mrs. Emily, where the board announces you as a new executive director tonight?
21:47Congrats.
21:48Don't forget us old friends when you're on the board.
21:50Absolutely.
21:56You were right, Michael.
21:57Mom can only shine when she's with the right guy.
21:59Mom and Uncle Jamie?
22:00That's the match.
22:02Yeah.
22:03Our dad's a nobody.
22:05He could never make it into a gala like this.
22:10This gala, it's critical.
22:13No mistakes.
22:16Eyes up.
22:20Eyes up.
22:22The chairman is coming.
22:44Tell them the gala begins.
22:51This year's gala wasn't supposed to be this big, but the word is the chairman is coming back to
22:56hand out promotions himself.
22:58A total honor.
22:59He isn't just the chairman, he's the richest man in Texas.
23:02And he's putting up millions in bonuses for everyone.
23:07Whoever's the chairman's son just cut 50 years off the grind.
23:12If the chairman was my dad?
23:16Wow.
23:17He's so generous.
23:18Talk about clouds.
23:20Oh, you're telling me, sister.
23:25Emily, when you get called up by the chairman himself, don't forget to put in a good word from me.
23:31Yeah?
23:32Of course.
23:33Welcome, Mr. Chairman.
23:52Message from HQ.
23:53The chairman says the gala begins now.
24:01Merry Christmas, everyone.
24:02Mark's never seen this kind of money in his life.
24:17You should invite him.
24:18Let him see the world for once.
24:20He's a sewer rat.
24:24Spare me.
24:26Yeah, this place isn't for just anyone.
24:31He wouldn't even fit in here as a shoe shiner.
24:34Uh, sis, when the chairman gets here, make sure to get a picture of me with him.
24:38I'm going to post it so I can level up my feed.
24:41Okay.
24:45Emily, you are about to make your executive director dream real.
24:51And I'll be by your side forever.
24:56Chairman arriving.
24:56Oh.
25:20Dad?
25:20Dad?
25:21I'm going to post it.
25:22Dad?
25:26Dad?
