00:01:55Think later
00:01:56There they are
00:02:00So the reindeer and the arctic hare
00:02:23Took off down the hill
00:02:24Faster and faster they ran
00:02:27Past the towering pines
00:02:29To the frozen meadow below
00:02:31With a quick wave to the reindeer
00:02:33The arctic hare tucked in his cozy den
00:02:35Where he stayed safe inside forever
00:02:39The end
00:02:41All right
00:02:43Have a wonderful Christmas break you guys
00:02:46And remember
00:02:47If you have Christmas trees at home
00:02:49No incandescent lights
00:02:51Okay
00:02:52They're a fire hazard
00:02:54Okay
00:02:54That's it for story time
00:02:57Go on outside
00:02:58And I'll meet you there
00:02:59Okay
00:02:59You know
00:03:02For a librarian
00:03:03You sure do slip in a lot of fire safety references
00:03:05Kids need repetition
00:03:07Anyway
00:03:09Tell me about the dress shopping
00:03:11Did you find the one?
00:03:14Ah
00:03:14No
00:03:15Not yet
00:03:16Kurt said he'd marry me in a paper bag
00:03:18But
00:03:18I don't know
00:03:19I just want everything to be perfect
00:03:21Kurt's such a good guy
00:03:22Well
00:03:24That's just more proof
00:03:25That online dating
00:03:27Actually works
00:03:28Sorry
00:03:30But that's just how people meet these days
00:03:32It's a fact
00:03:32Okay
00:03:33You want to talk facts?
00:03:3510% of all users
00:03:36Are straight up scammers
00:03:38Here we go
00:03:38And 53% of them
00:03:40Greatly exaggerate their profiles
00:03:41So
00:03:42At best
00:03:43You're just waiting for a huge letdown
00:03:44And at worst
00:03:45Like
00:03:46Well
00:03:46Your parents really did a number on you
00:03:48No
00:03:49They prepared me
00:03:50You have no idea
00:03:51What working for a home security company
00:03:53Exposes you to
00:03:54Well
00:03:54How about meeting a friend of a friend then?
00:03:57Lisa's cousin is newly single
00:03:59He's super nice
00:04:00A dentist
00:04:01Very stable career
00:04:02His name is Mark
00:04:04And he's open to meeting you
00:04:06You know I don't get my phone number out to people I don't know
00:04:09Which is why I got you his email
00:04:11So you can reach out on your super safe cyber VPN thing or whatever
00:04:16Mark loves cats 1922
00:04:20At least he's honest
00:04:22Come on Whit
00:04:24It's Christmas break
00:04:26There's no school
00:04:27No summer camps to take care of
00:04:29No responsibilities
00:04:30I don't know
00:04:32Wait
00:04:32At some point
00:04:33You have to drop the books
00:04:35Turn off the TV
00:04:36And dive into a real adventure
00:04:37Don't check it out
00:04:41Alright grab your bags
00:04:43I like cats
00:04:49It's a realalfig
00:05:01I'll do my Schon
00:05:01I'll do my best
00:05:02Wanna buy
00:05:04Come on Whit
00:05:09Sì.
00:05:29Sì, honey.
00:05:30Sì.
00:05:31Sì.
00:05:32Oh, it smells good.
00:05:34Mmm.
00:05:36Okay, that's a quick statue.
00:05:38Nine is holding up well.
00:05:39Yeah, doesn't stick.
00:05:41Unlike the last one you installed.
00:05:43Hm.
00:05:44Whoa, look at that!
00:05:46Oh!
00:05:49Cranberry orange.
00:05:51Marsca baff.
00:05:52There's no ginger bundt cake?
00:05:55I thought I would venture out a little bit.
00:05:59It looks delicious.
00:06:00Thank you.
00:06:02Okay, this might sound crazy, but what do you guys think about doing something a little different this year for Christmas?
00:06:12Like, skiing.
00:06:14Honey, do you realize that skiing's the second most dangerous sport in the world, right?
00:06:18Oh, no, I think that's wrong. Snowboarding's worse.
00:06:20Regardless, humans weren't meant to go lying down a snowy mountainside at 30 miles an hour.
00:06:2530 miles an hour, Dad. None of us are that good.
00:06:28What's wrong with game night?
00:06:29Nothing. Nothing is wrong with game night.
00:06:32I love game night.
00:06:34It's just we do it every month.
00:06:36And I thought we could do something a little more exciting.
00:06:40It's Christmas-themed game night. It is exciting.
00:06:44And I've got some new charade prompts that Mother and I think are quite hilarious.
00:06:48Yeah, he's really stepped it up this year.
00:06:50Thank you.
00:06:52Okay, Dad.
00:06:53Did you talk to Rachel about the wedding? Did she find a dress?
00:06:56Uh, no.
00:06:58But I'm sure she will.
00:07:00So, apparently we'll be sitting with the Bernards.
00:07:03And, um, they have a son who's an ophthalmologist.
00:07:07Newly single.
00:07:08Mom?
00:07:09Well, in case you're not bringing a date.
00:07:11Ugh.
00:07:12I could totally meet someone.
00:07:14Yeah.
00:07:15Like Dr. Bernard, the ophthalmologist.
00:07:18Muld wine, anyone?
00:07:20Yes.
00:07:21Please.
00:07:22Okay.
00:07:35Okay.
00:07:42Mm.
00:07:43Mm.
00:07:52Good afternoon, everyone.
00:08:05I'd like to take a quick moment to acknowledge the hard work he put in this year.
00:08:10I know we've logged a lot of long hours lately.
00:08:13So, I hope you take the next few days to spend it with your family and loved ones.
00:08:17to-
00:08:20Agent Dawson, just in time.
00:08:23Care for a refreshment?
00:08:24Uh, no.
00:08:25I'm good, thanks.
00:08:26Here for the four o'clock.
00:08:28Right.
00:08:29Anyway, cheers.
00:08:31And happy holidays.
00:08:32Cheers!
00:08:43You know it wouldn't kill you to show up early and shake a few hands.
00:08:46It's Christmas.
00:08:47I don't really do Christmas.
00:08:48We're small talking.
00:08:49Oh, we've noticed.
00:08:50Anyway, glad you called me in because I have an update on the Bateman file.
00:08:54They have a new target, sir.
00:08:55Agent Dawson.
00:08:56This is a big one.
00:08:57Josh.
00:08:58I'm shutting you down.
00:09:00What?
00:09:01I'm sorry, it's time.
00:09:03You've been undercover six months and you have nothing linking the suspect to any crime,
00:09:08let alone the disappearance of six priceless artifacts.
00:09:11Okay.
00:09:12So you're telling me that every time Lou Bateman shows up at one of these fancy events and something
00:09:16goes missing, that's just a coincidence?
00:09:18It doesn't matter what I think.
00:09:20It matters when-
00:09:21What I can prove, I know.
00:09:22Well, I'm gonna prove it to you.
00:09:24I'm already hearing chatter on the black market about all of this.
00:09:27Buyers are sniffing around.
00:09:28What is it?
00:09:29They call it the heart of Christmas.
00:09:32It's given to a German princess in the early 1800s by the son of a wealthy American industrialist.
00:09:37It's supposed to be worth over $10 million.
00:09:39Now the owner is only bringing out once a year on Christmas Eve to raise money for various charities around the world.
00:09:45And this year, it is the centerpiece at the Mistletoe Ball at the New York Arts and History Museum.
00:09:50That's a big event, swanky.
00:09:52Guess who's on the board?
00:09:54Lou Bateman's wife, Patty.
00:09:58It has taken me some time, but I finally secured a lunch meeting with them tomorrow to discuss a business partnership.
00:10:03If this goes well, it's gonna put me in close contact with him over the holidays and I will be able to figure out his plan and how he's gonna steal it.
00:10:09I'm already catching heat for giving you an opportunity to begin with.
00:10:13Sir, you gotta trust me on this one.
00:10:16Trust you?
00:10:17The last time I trusted you, you arrested a perp without approval.
00:10:21That guy was gonna get away.
00:10:22And you upset every senior agent in the building.
00:10:25You danced around protocol and you alienated all your colleagues.
00:10:28I work better alone.
00:10:29And you don't have a single piece of concrete evidence.
00:10:32Tell me why I shouldn't take you off this case and send you through the stacks for the rest of your career.
00:10:38These criminals?
00:10:40They're smart.
00:10:42They could sniff out one of your suits a mile away.
00:10:45And the fact that other cops don't like me, that's what makes me good at this.
00:10:48I can blend in where they can.
00:10:50You know it, and I know it.
00:10:53I just need it until Christmas Eve.
00:10:55If I'm wrong about this, I'll pack up my desk and I'll move to the basement myself.
00:11:01Fine.
00:11:02But you better make a reservation for tomorrow with debatements for four people.
00:11:06Why?
00:11:07I'm sending in Agent Keira Tanner to join you.
00:11:10As your girlfriend.
00:11:11She's new, but good.
00:11:13You step out of line, I want to know about her.
00:11:15Sir, I...
00:11:16Don't push me, Dawson.
00:11:18It's either the girlfriend or the stacks.
00:11:20I will call the restaurant.
00:11:35I'm so proud of you for biting the bullet.
00:11:38So, how did you respond?
00:11:40Weird.
00:11:41Cool.
00:11:42Too many exclamation points.
00:11:44Not enough exclamation points.
00:11:46Short and sweet.
00:11:47Something like, uh, sounds good.
00:11:49Villamici.
00:11:50One.
00:11:51I'll be wearing a green sweater.
00:11:53Okay.
00:11:54Straightforward.
00:11:55Kind.
00:11:56Just lunch, so not too much pressure.
00:11:57Love it.
00:11:59Your sweater, on the other hand.
00:12:01Oh, yeah.
00:12:05What's wrong with it?
00:12:06It belongs in a World War II museum.
00:12:10It does not?
00:12:12Come on.
00:12:13Loosen up with it.
00:12:14Put your hair down.
00:12:16Hmm.
00:12:17Ah.
00:12:20How about this?
00:12:22Oh, yeah, Nancy.
00:12:23This is my party shirt.
00:12:24Well, now it's your date shirt.
00:12:29Okay.
00:12:31Okay.
00:12:37Okay.
00:12:38Okay, alright.
00:12:41Okay.
00:12:43Okay.
00:12:44F-
00:12:45Okay.
00:12:46Okay.
00:12:46Okay, here.
00:12:48Okay.
00:12:49Let's go.
00:12:51Okay, let's go.
00:12:54Okay.
00:12:55Okay, let's go.
00:12:56Okay.
00:12:57Okay.
00:12:58Okay, ready.
00:12:59Grazie a tutti.
00:13:29Grazie a tutti.
00:13:59Grazie a tutti.
00:14:29Grazie a tutti.
00:14:59Grazie a tutti.
00:15:29No.
00:15:30Hi.
00:15:31Johnny?
00:15:32Pardon.
00:15:33Wait.
00:15:35No.
00:15:36Shh.
00:15:37Sit down.
00:15:37No.
00:15:38Seriously.
00:15:39Don't go.
00:15:40Please.
00:15:40There he is, Johnny Boy
00:15:44Hey, there he is
00:15:46He didn't tell us you were bringing a date
00:15:49You didn't tell me a scripting either
00:15:52We must have got our wires crossed
00:15:53Lou, Patty, me Whitney
00:15:55My girlfriend
00:15:57Sorry?
00:16:00I'm here for Johnny Party 4
00:16:02Okay
00:16:04I'm just kidding
00:16:07Um, we'll be right back
00:16:12Uh, actually, never mind
00:16:21Hey, wait
00:16:23You do not get to follow me
00:16:26Easy now
00:16:27Girlfriend? Really? We just met
00:16:30It's about what you think
00:16:31Take one step closer and I will use it
00:16:33I have excellent aim
00:16:34Just let me explain
00:16:36I'm calling the police
00:16:37I am the police
00:16:39No, sir
00:16:41You are a loaded dick
00:16:43I'm Special Agent Josh Dawson, FBI
00:16:45I'm currently in the middle of an undercover operation
00:16:48And there's been a big mistake
00:16:49I was expecting a female agent
00:16:51Who was supposed to play my girlfriend
00:16:53But you sat down instead
00:16:55No
00:16:57I sat down with Mark Leskatz 1922
00:16:59In a green sweater
00:17:00It's Christmas
00:17:01Every guy in here has a green sweater
00:17:02I don't know
00:17:19Unfortunately, you are now a part of this investigation
00:17:22And if you leave now, it will look extremely suspicious
00:17:25It will blow six months of work
00:17:28A criminal will walk loose on the streets
00:17:29Could potentially put our lives in danger
00:17:31I just signed up for a little adventure
00:17:34Not like a really little one
00:17:37I just need you to sit down at the table with me
00:17:40Pretend to be my girlfriend
00:17:41And when the meal's over
00:17:42I will find a way to get you out safely
00:17:44Understood?
00:17:46Yes, but no
00:17:47Whitney, look at me
00:17:49You can do this
00:17:50It's one hour of your life
00:17:52That's it
00:17:53One hour?
00:17:54With a criminal?
00:17:57No, I'm a librarian
00:17:59Okay, um
00:18:03This is what we do
00:18:06Let me do the talking
00:18:08Defer to me
00:18:09If they ask you any questions
00:18:10Keep it vague
00:18:11We can get through this
00:18:12We have to get through this
00:18:14Please
00:18:15Um
00:18:16Okay
00:18:18I promise you can get me out
00:18:21I promise
00:18:22Sorry about that
00:18:27You okay?
00:18:28Yeah, yeah
00:18:29So we like the tasting menu here
00:18:32Are you two okay with that?
00:18:34Sounds perfect
00:18:34And that's when I had to say to him
00:18:46Johnny
00:18:46Remember to hold on to the club
00:18:49When you swing?
00:18:50This guy
00:18:51He plays golf like he's batting in the major leagues
00:18:53What can I say?
00:18:54I'm more of a Babe Ruth than a Tiger Woods
00:18:56I liked him immediately
00:18:58He's not like the other Wall Street guys
00:19:00Thanks
00:19:01But you already knew that, right?
00:19:07Do you know most shellfish allergies develop in adulthood?
00:19:14I
00:19:14I do not
00:19:15Know that
00:19:16Women are
00:19:17More likely to suffer than men
00:19:19You don't have to eat the scallops, babe
00:19:22I just think
00:19:25Maybe starting to hit me
00:19:27You know
00:19:28Is anyone else having trouble?
00:19:34I'm sorry
00:19:35I just babble
00:19:37When I'm nervous
00:19:38Why are you nervous?
00:19:40I mean, um
00:19:45Look at you two
00:19:48You're both so
00:19:50Successful
00:19:52And attractive
00:19:53It's almost
00:19:55Scary
00:19:56Aw
00:19:58That's very sweet of you to say
00:20:00But
00:20:00We're just regular Joes
00:20:02So
00:20:02Promise
00:20:03So Whitney
00:20:05What do you do for a job?
00:20:13I
00:20:13Am
00:20:14A dancer
00:20:17A ballroom
00:20:19Dancer
00:20:20Actually
00:20:20Yeah, or I was
00:20:23You know
00:20:23It's kind of in another life
00:20:25Are you kidding?
00:20:27No
00:20:27How exciting
00:20:28Oh, I love ballroom dancing
00:20:30Yes
00:20:31Something so romantic about it
00:20:33I always wanted to learn
00:20:34But I have two left feet
00:20:35It's true, she does
00:20:36So what do you do now
00:20:40That you're retired?
00:20:41You said former dancer
00:20:43I did
00:20:45She's more in between jobs right now
00:20:47Oh, really?
00:20:49Are you looking for work?
00:20:51No
00:20:51Yeah
00:20:51No
00:20:52No
00:20:53Because I'm planning this huge charity ball
00:20:56For the museum on the 24th
00:20:58And I am so far behind
00:21:00Right?
00:21:00I mean, seating charts
00:21:02And vendor questions
00:21:03The list goes on and on
00:21:04I could really use your help
00:21:05Really?
00:21:08Wow
00:21:09Um
00:21:09That sounds like a lot of work
00:21:15Yeah
00:21:16It's just until Christmas
00:21:17You can come over
00:21:18And we could hang out
00:21:19While the boys do their
00:21:20Oh, business thing
00:21:22Yeah
00:21:28I'd love to
00:21:29Yay, Whitney
00:21:31We're gonna have so much fun
00:21:32So much fun
00:21:34This is a big problem
00:21:45Agent Tanner
00:21:47Sir, what happened out there?
00:21:49Did you replace me?
00:21:51I was never informed
00:21:52You were late
00:21:53There were carolers everywhere
00:21:54They cornered me
00:21:56Anyway, when I arrived
00:21:58She was already in there
00:21:59And you stopped answering my calls
00:22:01We were a little preoccupied
00:22:02I-I'm so sorry
00:22:04Um, the lunch is over now
00:22:06And you guys can take over
00:22:07I'll just go home
00:22:09And you forgot this ever happened
00:22:11Right?
00:22:14Right?
00:22:15Sir, we have to find a way
00:22:16To get Whitney out safely
00:22:17I suggest we stage a public breakup
00:22:19Something of that sort
00:22:20Agreed
00:22:21The goal of this meeting
00:22:25Was to secure
00:22:26An invitation
00:22:27To the Batemans residence
00:22:28Correct?
00:22:30Correct
00:22:31But
00:22:31Did Whitney not just accept
00:22:33A job offer from Patty Bateman
00:22:35Which would bring the both of you there
00:22:37On a regular basis?
00:22:41I have a job
00:22:42Technically
00:22:43I mean
00:22:44We are on Christmas vacation now
00:22:45You heard her
00:22:46She can't do it
00:22:47If we pull Whitney now
00:22:48They'll get suspicious
00:22:49It would just be a few days
00:22:51All she'd have to do
00:22:52Is plan the mistletoe ball
00:22:54With the suspect's wife
00:22:55Is that something
00:22:56That you have experience with?
00:22:58I plan the snowball dance
00:23:00For the school every year
00:23:01Not exactly the same thing
00:23:02You try corralling
00:23:03120 kids
00:23:05It's not that easy
00:23:06I have
00:23:07Ten-year-old twins
00:23:09And they are
00:23:10Incomprehensible
00:23:12I think she's well prepared
00:23:14Sir
00:23:15If I may
00:23:16She has no poker face
00:23:19She rants
00:23:20When she gets nervous
00:23:21Who knows what she'll say
00:23:22If she gets put on the spot
00:23:23She could blow the entire op
00:23:25And you can train her
00:23:26Strategies for coping with stress
00:23:28Basic intel gathering
00:23:30Self-defense
00:23:31Is Christmas
00:23:32You know
00:23:32I'm sure she would rather be
00:23:34Home with her family
00:23:35Actually
00:23:37I'm free
00:23:39I do have a game night
00:23:42On Christmas Eve
00:23:43With my parents
00:23:43Which they will freak
00:23:45If I don't come to
00:23:46But
00:23:46Other than that
00:23:48The event's Christmas Eve
00:23:49So
00:23:50So if it all goes well
00:23:57You'll have this
00:23:59Wrapped up before then
00:24:00Right?
00:24:02Right
00:24:02Mm-hmm
00:24:03So Whitney
00:24:05Will you do it?
00:24:12Yes
00:24:13I will
00:24:15Excellent
00:24:16Agent Dawson
00:24:17Will send you the case file
00:24:18You two can meet up
00:24:19First thing tomorrow
00:24:20The Bureau sent over
00:24:40A bunch of clothes
00:24:41Anything you might need
00:24:42Oh wow
00:24:43One of those for me
00:24:44Uh yes
00:24:46I got black and
00:24:48A gingerbread latte
00:24:49I wasn't sure which one you'd like
00:24:51Hmm
00:24:52I'm a sucker for nutmeg
00:24:55I just wouldn't have really
00:25:00Gotten that from
00:25:01This
00:25:02There's not a wreath
00:25:04Or a twinkle light in sight
00:25:05I have other priorities
00:25:06Did you read the material
00:25:08I sent over?
00:25:10I did
00:25:10So you were aware
00:25:11Of the mission parameters?
00:25:12Yes
00:25:13Okay
00:25:13Save a priceless necklace
00:25:15From a life on the black market
00:25:16That's right
00:25:17Now
00:25:18We've set up a phone for you
00:25:19If we get separated
00:25:21You mean me
00:25:21You use this
00:25:22And remember
00:25:23We um
00:25:24Supposed to be a couple
00:25:26So
00:25:28Great
00:25:29You got it
00:25:30So once we get to the Bateman residence
00:25:32Your goal will be to
00:25:33Occupy Patty
00:25:34While I
00:25:35Do all the work
00:25:35I didn't say that
00:25:39Mm
00:25:39Well we got the bickering down
00:25:42Not all couples bicker
00:25:46At least not the good ones
00:25:48Okay
00:25:48Well if you find a good one
00:25:50Let me know
00:25:51My parents threw one
00:25:54Really?
00:25:55Yeah
00:25:56They set the bar
00:25:57Kind of high
00:25:58Yeah you were willing to go on a blind date
00:26:00With Mark Love's Cats in 1922
00:26:02Like you wouldn't go on a blind date
00:26:04Oh I don't date
00:26:05It's too risky
00:26:07In here
00:26:08You're going to want to wear these
00:26:11How did you know my size?
00:26:17We're the FBI
00:26:18Hmm
00:26:20Okay
00:26:21Let's go over the backstory
00:26:23We'll start with the easy stuff
00:26:25Where do we meet?
00:26:27A. Restaurant
00:26:27B. Museum
00:26:28C. Subway
00:26:29D. FBI headquarters
00:26:31I feel like you're trying to trick me
00:26:33Whitney?
00:26:35A. Restaurant
00:26:36No
00:26:37We did meet in a restaurant
00:26:39We met
00:26:40At the 81st Street subway station
00:26:42I saw you standing there
00:26:44We locked eyes
00:26:44The rest is history
00:26:45Did you not read the material?
00:26:47It's 340 pages
00:26:49These are just important parts
00:26:51Don't bury it
00:26:52In an unreadable document
00:26:54Seriously
00:26:55I could afford to weave a little bit of narrative in here
00:26:57Go again
00:27:00Name the six missing artifacts
00:27:03Go
00:27:04Bronze Aphrodite
00:27:06Goddess of Love
00:27:08Cleopatra's Love Notes
00:27:10Oh
00:27:11King Tots
00:27:13Love Notes
00:27:14Scrolls or whatever
00:27:16Go again
00:27:17Spycraft
00:27:19You need to be able to send
00:27:20A text message from your phone
00:27:21In your pocket
00:27:22Without anyone knowing
00:27:23Let's start with something simple
00:27:24Like ETA 6B
00:27:26Okay
00:27:27Ma'am
00:27:38Go again
00:27:38Come on
00:27:39It's harder than it looks
00:27:40Now
00:27:50Good self-defense
00:27:51Is all about momentum
00:27:52You don't want to be caught flat-footed
00:27:53That'll put your opponent
00:27:54At the advantage
00:27:55Okay
00:27:58That was pretty good
00:27:59Thanks
00:28:01Swing at me
00:28:02You sure?
00:28:03Yeah
00:28:03Okay
00:28:04Oh
00:28:07Yeah
00:28:10That was good
00:28:11Yeah, I forgot to say
00:28:13My parents put me in a lot of martial arts classes as a kid
00:28:15Huh
00:28:15And dance classes
00:28:21Yeah, you're just showing off
00:28:22Wait, so the whole ballroom dancer thing was
00:28:25Oh no, that's mostly true
00:28:26Just being a librarian is easier on your joints
00:28:28Again?
00:28:37We met on the 81st Street platform
00:28:43We've been together for four months
00:28:44Things are just starting to get serious
00:28:46You haven't met my family
00:28:48And you have no family
00:28:49Good
00:28:52Can I ask you something?
00:29:00Yeah, sure
00:29:02When you said you had no family, you mean like no family?
00:29:07No
00:29:08Do you care to elaborate?
00:29:12Nope
00:29:12I'm gonna change
00:29:14Pick something out
00:29:15Wheel's up in 20
00:29:16You can do this
00:29:17We're strong, we're smart, we're capable
00:29:18What are you doing?
00:29:19You can do this
00:29:20We're strong, we're smart, we're capable
00:29:21What are you doing?
00:29:46My affirmations
00:29:48They work really well with the kids
00:29:50Okay
00:29:52Try to relax
00:29:53Be yourself
00:29:54Mostly
00:29:55Just keep Patty talking as long as you can
00:29:59So I can gather as much intel as possible
00:30:01Best case scenario
00:30:02I find something incriminating
00:30:03And I arrest him before it gets too far
00:30:05And worst case scenario?
00:30:07We'll cross that bridge when we have to
00:30:17Hi
00:30:18Oh, come in, come in
00:30:19Come in, come in
00:30:20It's freezing
00:30:26Thank you
00:30:27Thanks again for coming
00:30:30I cannot tell you how happy I am to have some help
00:30:34Christmas is so busy
00:30:35Yeah, no, of course
00:30:36I've actually always wanted to go to this event
00:30:38But the tickets are so expensive
00:30:40Wow, your home is so lovely
00:30:45Thank you
00:30:46Oh, Lou's waiting for you upstairs, Shawna
00:30:48You can head on up
00:30:49Oh, great place
00:30:50Oh, great place
00:30:57See you again
00:30:58Bye
00:31:00You two are so cute
00:31:01Don't you just love love?
00:31:03I do, yeah
00:31:05I do, yeah
00:31:06So do you want to tell me where you're at in planning?
00:31:10Oh, yeah
00:31:11This way
00:31:12This way
00:31:23Come in
00:31:25Hey
00:31:26Johnny boy
00:31:27Have a seat
00:31:28I'm sorry we didn't get into the meat of the business deal the other day, you know, but that girlfriend of yours, what a charmer
00:31:38You know, I don't think I'll ever be able to order scallops again without thinking of her
00:31:41You and me both
00:31:43I'll call the caterers later and confirm the numbers
00:31:46Oh, thanks, and don't forget to include the security team
00:31:49Security team?
00:31:51For the necklace
00:31:52They've got four guards on it 24-7
00:31:55It's being stored in a high-security vault near the museum right now
00:31:58They won't let anyone see it until the ball
00:32:00Seems like it's in demand
00:32:01Oh, it is
00:32:04Lucky for me, Lou can be very persuasive
00:32:07Save me from begging
00:32:08Now, you have some clients interested in investing in my startup, right?
00:32:14Yes, I do
00:32:15And I cannot wait to dive into it, but
00:32:17Do you mind if I use the restroom first?
00:32:21Yeah
00:32:22Yeah, of course, go ahead
00:32:23Thanks, man
00:32:24Okay
00:32:28Have you seen it?
00:32:29No, but I'm dying to
00:32:34Tell me again why it only comes out once a year
00:32:38Oh, well
00:32:39As the story goes
00:32:40It was given to a German princess by her secret American lover for Christmas
00:32:45She only worked once on Christmas Eve
00:32:47Before her father come down about it
00:32:49She was strong, locked it up, and married her off the first floor
00:32:53What are you doing?
00:32:54Hey, sorry, I got lost. Your house is enormous
00:33:00Yeah, the powder room is by the front door
00:33:05Right, of course
00:33:08Did you want one?
00:33:09Uh, oh, no, no, no, I was just browsing
00:33:11I got quite the selection
00:33:12Yeah, go ahead then, you can have one
00:33:13Take whichever one you want
00:33:14All right
00:33:15You don't want that
00:33:16All right
00:33:17You don't want that
00:33:18You don't want that
00:33:19You don't want that
00:33:20You don't want that
00:33:21All right
00:33:22You don't want that
00:33:23What?
00:33:24No, no, no, no, no, no, no
00:33:25You don't want that
00:33:26No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, I was just browsing
00:33:27I got quite the selection
00:33:30Yeah, go ahead then, you can have one
00:33:32Take
00:33:33Whichever one you want
00:33:34All right
00:33:36All right
00:33:40There
00:33:42You don't want that
00:33:44Non lo vuole.
00:33:54Questo è il one.
00:33:56Wittia va a piacere.
00:34:04E se avete una questione, chiede a me.
00:34:06No, io ho.
00:34:08Ok, grazie.
00:34:09Ciao.
00:34:10Vi chiede.
00:34:12So did you find anything?
00:34:14No, nothing.
00:34:15No, we're running out of time.
00:34:17What does that mean?
00:34:18I'm gonna have to catch him stealing at the ball.
00:34:20I gotta talk to the museum director.
00:34:23Ok.
00:34:34Hello.
00:34:35You must be Agent Dawson.
00:34:37I am.
00:34:38And this is, uh, Whitney.
00:34:41Uh.
00:34:42Hello.
00:34:43Did Agent Michaels bring you up to speak?
00:34:44Uh, he did, yes.
00:34:45Uh, though I must admit I find it hard to believe that a criminal would try to steal a necklace,
00:34:51the heart of Christmas, no less, in a room filled with people.
00:34:54This man is a professional.
00:34:56He's done it before and he could do it again.
00:34:58So we have to put safety measures in place to stop him.
00:35:00Yes, but this is a high-end event.
00:35:02So we can't have men in their SWAT gear roaming about.
00:35:05You know, it just wouldn't be helpful for the festive atmosphere.
00:35:10I understand that, but our agents will be undercover.
00:35:13So, we will blend in.
00:35:15No one will be the wiser.
00:35:16Hmm.
00:35:17Now, I don't know.
00:35:18If, if word gets out, turnout could be low and this is the biggest fundraiser of the year.
00:35:23Word will not get out because this is a covert operation.
00:35:27And while your turnout is important, it cannot be our priority.
00:35:31Forgive me, but the money we raise here enables thousands of children to immerse themselves in the arts that wouldn't otherwise be able to afford it.
00:35:39Now, you may not think that's very important, but I take my duty seriously.
00:35:43Well, I take my duty to public safety seriously.
00:35:46Henry, if I may, um, I think we all want the same things here.
00:35:51Art should be in a place like this for everyone to enjoy, right?
00:35:56Not floating around on the black market for only wealthy people to see.
00:36:00So if you wouldn't mind giving us a little tour.
00:36:04We promise we will make sure that the necklace stays in the right hands and that everyone stays safe.
00:36:13All right, after you.
00:36:15Thank you.
00:36:18I would love to see some of your favorite pieces.
00:36:21Oh, yes.
00:36:22This is one of the grand salons, decorated for whatever season we're in.
00:36:27Okay, so the necklace will go right here.
00:36:34Install security cameras here and here and over all the entrances and the fire escapes.
00:36:39Why haven't I received this floor plan yet?
00:36:42Oh, I will make sure to get you a copy when we're done here.
00:36:45Could I see that for a second?
00:36:46Yeah, for sure.
00:36:47Thanks.
00:36:52This, this is called the Dahlia Dance.
00:36:56Legend has it that the artist was struck by lightning and, while unconscious,
00:37:01had a vision of a beautiful woman surrounded by red dahlias.
00:37:05When he woke, he became obsessed with finding her, but never could.
00:37:09But then, sometime later, he ran into a woman selling red dahlias and...
00:37:14It was her.
00:37:15Indeed.
00:37:16He gifted this to her, their first Christmas together.
00:37:20What a beautiful story.
00:37:21Yes.
00:37:22That is why I curated the piece back in 1998.
00:37:26But a few years ago, we actually discovered it was a fake.
00:37:31But where is the real one?
00:37:33Buried in a safe outside Budapest.
00:37:36It is now worth more than a Jackson Pollock, but it remains a hidden gem.
00:37:41Unless you know to look for it.
00:37:43Oh, would you excuse me, please?
00:37:46Of course.
00:37:51What if we created a fake?
00:37:53What do you mean?
00:37:54A duplicate necklace with a little tracker thing in it, and we could let it get stolen.
00:38:00And then follow them.
00:38:01Whitney, that is actually a really good idea.
00:38:04We'd have to switch it out with the real necklace before it goes on display.
00:38:09And figure out where they're storing it.
00:38:11Oh, it's in a vault near the museum.
00:38:13Excuse me?
00:38:14Yeah.
00:38:15With 24-7 guards, according to Addy.
00:38:20Why didn't you tell me this sooner?
00:38:22Well, it never came up.
00:38:26Okay.
00:38:27You know, that does make sense, though.
00:38:30What makes sense?
00:38:31We're going to need to swap it at the vault.
00:38:33But if they can't even get into the vault, how will we?
00:38:36You leave that to me.
00:38:37Right now, we just need to find a jeweler.
00:38:41I might have one.
00:38:44Rachel says she's a bit of a character, but she made her engagement ring, and it's stunning.
00:38:51Okay.
00:38:52What is going on here?
00:39:06Jewelry is, um, a cutverside hustle.
00:39:10Her real business is...
00:39:13Oh, boy.
00:39:14Oh, my goodness.
00:39:15He kind of looks like you.
00:39:16That's a little more Pollyanna than my childhood.
00:39:17What do you mean?
00:39:18Not a lot of gift exchange in foster care.
00:39:19Hello, hello.
00:39:20Merry Christmas.
00:39:21Would you care for some peppermint bark?
00:39:23Wow.
00:39:24I know.
00:39:25It's the glasses, right?
00:39:26Right.
00:39:27I mean, it's the whole Mrs. Claus package, really.
00:39:28No.
00:39:29No.
00:39:30What can I help you with?
00:39:31Um, twinkle lights, inflatable lawn decor.
00:39:33We've got it all.
00:39:34We're actually here about jewelry.
00:39:35Oh.
00:39:36Are you two shopping for a ring?
00:39:37No.
00:39:38No.
00:39:39We're looking for something a little more customary.
00:39:40No.
00:39:41No, no.
00:39:42We're looking for something a little more customary.
00:39:43No.
00:39:44No.
00:39:45No.
00:39:46No.
00:39:47No.
00:39:48No.
00:39:49No.
00:39:50No.
00:39:51No.
00:39:52No.
00:39:53No.
00:39:54No.
00:39:55No.
00:39:56No.
00:39:57All the more custom?
00:39:58Hm.
00:39:59Follow me.
00:40:03Well, so what are we looking at?
00:40:08Reshaping, resetting, melting gold, swapping gemstones?
00:40:13We need a necklace that looks like this.
00:40:15Whoa, that's quite the piece.
00:40:19I know, it's a family heirloom.
00:40:23That we lost and are trying to replace.
00:40:26Do you think you can recreate it?
00:40:28All right. These are lab cultured gemstones.
00:40:31But once I'm done with it, you will not be able to tell the difference.
00:40:34We also need to add this.
00:40:38Mm-hmm.
00:40:39Do you think you can do it?
00:40:40Piece of cake. Piece of Christmas cake.
00:40:42I will email you a photo of the necklace.
00:40:47All righty. Excellent. Give me a couple of hours.
00:40:50Thank you.
00:40:51See you later.
00:40:56I've got to follow up with Kira about the storage facility.
00:40:58Are you good here for a minute?
00:40:59Oh, yeah.
00:41:00Okay.
00:41:09Whitney?
00:41:14What are you doing here?
00:41:16Just buying stuff.
00:41:19What are you doing here?
00:41:20Making up our wedding bands.
00:41:22Why haven't you been answering my calls?
00:41:25I've been very busy.
00:41:26What happened with you and Mark?
00:41:28Why'd you ghost him?
00:41:29Look, I'm so sorry.
00:41:31I got cold feet and I bailed and I should have texted you.
00:41:35But you know what?
00:41:37We should hang out for New Year's.
00:41:38Yeah.
00:41:39Yeah.
00:41:40We, uh...
00:41:42Hi.
00:41:43Hi.
00:41:45Who's this?
00:41:47Johnny.
00:41:48Yeah.
00:41:49Whitney's boyfriend.
00:41:51Boyfriend?
00:41:53What's he talking about?
00:41:54Yeah.
00:41:55He's my boyfriend.
00:41:57I was going to tell you, but I wanted to tell my parents first and I'm going to call
00:42:05them today.
00:42:07But Rachel was just leaving, so...
00:42:08Oh.
00:42:09I was?
00:42:10Oh, I was.
00:42:11Yes.
00:42:12Um...
00:42:13Nice seeing you.
00:42:14Oh.
00:42:15And, uh...
00:42:16Nice meeting you.
00:42:17Boyfriend.
00:42:18Nice to meet you.
00:42:19Should I be worried?
00:42:20Boyfriend.
00:42:21What do you want me to say?
00:42:22Anything else.
00:42:23Literally anything.
00:42:28All righty then.
00:42:29I think that does it.
00:42:35Wow.
00:42:36Well done.
00:42:37Why, thank you.
00:42:38There you go, sir.
00:42:40You might be hearing from me again.
00:42:41Oh, well.
00:42:42You know where to find me.
00:42:43I'm sorry.
00:42:44Well done.
00:42:45I'll be here for now.
00:42:46Just take care for you.
00:42:47All right.
00:42:48So I just need to ask, did you get that?
00:42:49I can't see you, and I'm, like, I don't know why I'm...
00:42:50I'll tell you.
00:42:51All righty then.
00:42:52I think that does it.
00:42:54Wow.
00:42:55Well done.
00:42:56Well, thank you.
00:42:58There you go, sir.
00:43:00You might be hearing from me again.
00:43:01You might be hearing from me again.
00:43:03Oh, well, you know where to find me. Here in the North Pole.
00:43:07Thank you.
00:43:11That's a nice couple.
00:43:31Wow. Look at you.
00:43:38Look at all this.
00:43:41Oh. Yeah, I'm sorry. It just needed a festive boost.
00:43:47Hope you're taking that with you.
00:43:51What? No.
00:43:53This is an early Christmas present from your fake girlfriend.
00:43:57I don't really do presents.
00:44:01From anybody?
00:44:03Oh, wow.
00:44:05Look, don't look so sad, okay?
00:44:07Christmas is just another day for me.
00:44:09Anyway, Kiera sent over the schematics for the vault.
00:44:13There's only one short-term holding area in the whole building.
00:44:17The necklace has to be here.
00:44:19Now, there's only two ways in and out.
00:44:21There's a front door, which is two feet of solid steel,
00:44:23and guarded 24-7.
00:44:25And the other way?
00:44:27The ceiling.
00:44:28I'll enter through the vent shaft,
00:44:29replace the real necklace with the replica,
00:44:31and then I'll climb out.
00:44:32Did you call in the diversion?
00:44:34Oh, yes.
00:44:36The Christmas cookies will be delivered in one hour.
00:44:39Excellent.
00:44:40What happens if you need backup?
00:44:42I won't need backup.
00:44:43I'll be in and out.
00:44:44Now, you tell me what happens if someone sees you.
00:44:47All right.
00:44:48I stage an epic family fight over the phone.
00:44:51Mom is having a Christmas meltdown.
00:44:53Too many tasks and too little time.
00:44:56Just don't yell so loud they actually call the police.
00:44:58Do we get walkie-talkies?
00:45:00No.
00:45:01You ready?
00:45:02Yeah.
00:45:04Yeah.
00:45:20Can I turn that down a little bit?
00:45:22Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle bells.
00:45:24Just kind of calm some nerves, you know?
00:45:27Don't be nervous.
00:45:28The part's done.
00:45:29The rest is up to me.
00:45:33You're going to be all right, right?
00:45:37Worried about me?
00:45:40So what if I am?
00:45:42Don't be.
00:45:43This is what I do.
00:45:47So what's your trick?
00:45:49Breathing, meditation, hypnotism.
00:45:53No trick?
00:45:55It's all I've ever known.
00:45:58All right.
00:45:59I'll see you soon.
00:46:08Here we go.
00:46:18Jingle bells.
00:46:19Jingle bells.
00:46:20Jingle bells.
00:46:21Please don't let us get caught.
00:46:22I'd like to live another day.
00:46:24And I love Christmas a lot.
00:46:26Hey.
00:46:38Hi, Mom.
00:46:39This isn't really a good time.
00:46:41Why?
00:46:42What do you mean?
00:46:43Where are you?
00:46:44Just out for a drive.
00:46:45At night?
00:46:46In the winter?
00:46:47Yeah.
00:46:48Which is why I shouldn't talk.
00:46:49You know?
00:46:50Safety in the car.
00:46:51Okay.
00:46:52Bye.
00:46:53Oh, no.
00:46:54Wait a minute.
00:46:55I just have to ask a question.
00:46:56I ran into Rachel.
00:46:57What is this about you having a boyfriend?
00:46:58Oh, yeah.
00:46:59I'll explain later.
00:47:00Why didn't you tell us?
00:47:02I was going to.
00:47:04I swear.
00:47:05When?
00:47:06Soon.
00:47:07Soon.
00:47:08You know?
00:47:09Just trying to find the right time.
00:47:11Why don't you bring him to game night on Christmas Eve?
00:47:13We'd love to meet him.
00:47:15Yeah.
00:47:16Uh, shoot.
00:47:17You know?
00:47:18Something came up.
00:47:19And, uh, we're going to have to reschedule.
00:47:23What do you mean something came up?
00:47:24It's a family tradition.
00:47:25I know.
00:47:26I know.
00:47:27Which is why we should do it tomorrow.
00:47:32On the 23rd.
00:47:34Oh, okay.
00:47:35Um, alright.
00:47:37What was that?
00:47:38Uh, nothing.
00:47:39Nothing.
00:47:40Okay.
00:47:41Love you.
00:47:42Bye.
00:47:47It's fine.
00:47:51You got this.
00:47:57You got this.
00:48:03You got this.
00:48:07Get this.
00:48:08Cool.
00:48:12Going home.
00:48:18Superiste.
00:48:25Bye.
00:48:27Josh!
00:48:33Josh!
00:48:51Whitney! Grab on!
00:48:57You were supposed to stay in the car.
00:48:59I heard an alarm. I was worried.
00:49:01Who do you think set it off?
00:49:03Get them away from their boats.
00:49:05Sorry for trying to save your life.
00:49:07Sure. Come work with the FBI. Plan a party. It'll be fine.
00:49:11What do you say?
00:49:13You haven't seen him die hard.
00:49:15No.
00:49:19Jeez. Best Christmas movie ever.
00:49:21Shh. We're here.
00:49:27No.
00:49:31There's no die off.
00:49:33What's that?
00:49:35If I go down, do you think you can hold me back up?
00:49:39No.
00:49:41Then you gotta do it.
00:49:43You're serious.
00:49:45I'll give you the fake.
00:49:47I'll hold you down.
00:49:49You swabbed out the necklace.
00:49:51And I'll lift you back up.
00:49:53Easy peasy.
00:49:55Okay.
00:49:57You got the same.
00:49:59Yeah.
00:50:01I'll hold you down.
00:50:03You swabbed out the necklace.
00:50:05And I'll lift you back up.
00:50:07Easy peasy.
00:50:09Okay.
00:50:11You got this?
00:50:13Okay.
00:50:14Okay.
00:50:15I got this.
00:50:16Okay.
00:50:17Just remember.
00:50:18Do not let go of the rope.
00:50:21Cookies are arriving.
00:50:23Three.
00:50:24Two.
00:50:25One.
00:50:26Hey, guys.
00:50:27Check it out.
00:50:28Special delivery.
00:50:29Delivered.
00:50:40Mmm.
00:50:59I'll take the electrical box.
00:51:11You guys stay here.
00:51:13You should lock everything down just when you taste.
00:51:17Forget it.
00:51:18You gotta go.
00:51:19This is me.
00:51:20Leave it.
00:51:29Once they locked the place down, there would have been no getting out.
00:51:50You okay?
00:51:51Yeah.
00:51:52Why did you set up under their alarm?
00:51:54I didn't.
00:51:55I was right there.
00:51:58I could have gotten in.
00:51:59I know.
00:52:00But something didn't feel right and I did not want to take that chance.
00:52:03Now we're gonna have to wait till the gala to swap the necklace before Luke can steal it.
00:52:07We're gonna have to call Kara to set up a meeting tomorrow.
00:52:11Um, speaking of tomorrow, I'm gonna have to go to game night with my parents.
00:52:17Say what?
00:52:19Tomorrow I meet my new boyfriend.
00:52:22Santa and Mrs. Plaza have landed.
00:52:34No tail.
00:52:35You're good to go.
00:52:36Copy that.
00:52:37Thank you.
00:52:40Your parents have arrived.
00:52:42It's go time.
00:52:46Is this really necessary?
00:52:48Oh yes.
00:52:49Now this is mandatory.
00:52:50Look, everything is great.
00:52:52We just need to get through the next two hours.
00:52:56Be yourself.
00:52:57And everything will be fine.
00:53:01Just, you know, maybe lose like 20% of the scowl.
00:53:05What's scowling?
00:53:07You are radiating tension.
00:53:10Look, I get it.
00:53:11You're mad.
00:53:12You did not sign up to meet my family.
00:53:14No, it's...
00:53:15It's not that.
00:53:16I just...
00:53:18I've never...
00:53:23You've never met a girlfriend's family before?
00:53:28Oh, okay.
00:53:29Uh...
00:53:30Wow.
00:53:31That's okay.
00:53:32When in doubt, just ask them questions about them.
00:53:35Or...
00:53:36Any home security system.
00:53:37They love that.
00:53:48Hi honey.
00:53:49Hi.
00:53:50Oh, it looks so gorgeous in here.
00:53:52Hey dad.
00:53:54And there he is, the Enigma himself.
00:53:56Yeah.
00:53:57Mom, this is Johnny.
00:53:59Johnny, this is my mom Cheryl.
00:54:01And my dad Jim.
00:54:03Nice to meet you.
00:54:04Likewise.
00:54:05Likewise.
00:54:08So?
00:54:09How did you meet?
00:54:11Dad.
00:54:12Can we have some snacks before we start the Spanish Inquisition?
00:54:14The game is Christmas charades.
00:54:27Now, everything in this hat is holiday themed, so you have to be very specific.
00:54:31Got it.
00:54:32Johnny, what do you say you and I team up, huh?
00:54:35No.
00:54:36That's okay.
00:54:37We'll stick together.
00:54:38No, that's okay.
00:54:39I'd love to.
00:54:41Really?
00:54:42Yeah.
00:54:43Okay, ladies first.
00:54:47You need to take that?
00:54:50Oh, it's just Patty.
00:54:51She's wondering if I'm ready for the book fair in January.
00:54:59I'm ready.
00:55:01Okay.
00:55:06One minute on the clock and go.
00:55:09Okay.
00:55:13Chicken, chicken, chicken dance.
00:55:14No, that's not Christmas.
00:55:16Um, uh, uh, um.
00:55:17Partridge in a pear tree?
00:55:19No.
00:55:20Oh, oh, oh.
00:55:21Christmas turkey.
00:55:22Turkey turkey turkey.
00:55:23Christmas dinner.
00:55:24Yes!
00:55:29That was Oscar-ready.
00:55:30I'd like to see you do better.
00:55:31So would I.
00:55:41Ok.
00:55:43And...
00:55:44Go!
00:55:47Pillow.
00:55:48No.
00:55:49Smells like a pillow.
00:55:50Christmas pillow decor.
00:55:54Basketball?
00:55:58Right.
00:55:59Dog?
00:56:00No.
00:56:01Ok.
00:56:02Right.
00:56:03Ok.
00:56:04Follow your notes.
00:56:05Yes.
00:56:06Looking for a...
00:56:07Oh no.
00:56:08Alright.
00:56:09Oh, a horse.
00:56:10A horse.
00:56:11Dad, you're just saying random words.
00:56:12Don't you help me.
00:56:13Go on.
00:56:14Christmas sleigh ride.
00:56:15No.
00:56:18Pig.
00:56:19Pig dog sleigh.
00:56:20Oh, Jim, you're being cruel.
00:56:24You know, don't you?
00:56:25Yes, fine.
00:56:26It's Rudolph.
00:56:27No.
00:56:29Welcome to Charades.
00:56:33You are terrible.
00:56:36You were great.
00:56:38Mom, you're up.
00:56:39Ok.
00:56:43Ok.
00:56:44Um.
00:56:45I'm cracking.
00:56:46Um.
00:56:47Cracking.
00:56:48Um.
00:56:49Um.
00:56:50Cracking.
00:56:51Um.
00:56:52So, honey.
00:56:53Mom.
00:56:54He's out like you.
00:56:55He's out like you.
00:56:56I can tell that he really likes you.
00:57:10Mm-hmm.
00:57:11Mm-hmm.
00:57:12What I don't understand is what took you so long to tell us.
00:57:16You know how you and dad like to vet the people that I'm dating.
00:57:17Mm-hmm.
00:57:18I just wanted the chance to get to know him without the pressure.
00:57:23Maybe make my own mistakes for once.
00:57:24Is it a mistake?
00:57:25Is it a mistake?
00:57:26So is he not?
00:57:27No.
00:57:28No.
00:57:29No.
00:57:30No.
00:57:31No.
00:57:32No.
00:57:33No.
00:57:34So is he not a mistake?
00:57:35No.
00:57:36No.
00:57:37No.
00:57:38No.
00:57:39No.
00:57:40No.
00:57:41No.
00:57:42No.
00:57:43No.
00:57:44No.
00:57:45No.
00:57:46I'm sorry.
00:57:47No.
00:57:48No.
00:57:49No.
00:57:50No.
00:57:51No.
00:57:53Non credo che sia.
00:57:59Ah...
00:58:01Sorry about earlier.
00:58:03That's fine.
00:58:05I do get a little protective.
00:58:07As you should.
00:58:09You know, when she was seven years old,
00:58:11she found a stray cat in our garage.
00:58:13And it had six kittens.
00:58:15Cheryl and I are allergic to cats,
00:58:17so we couldn't have them around.
00:58:19And, uh...
00:58:21Whitney was inconsolable.
00:58:25And she gets attached.
00:58:27Very quickly.
00:58:29And very deeply.
00:58:31So...
00:58:33Do me a favor.
00:58:35If you're not into it for real,
00:58:37just do the right thing.
00:58:39Just walk away.
00:58:41Okay, trust me.
00:58:43The last thing I want
00:58:45is for anyone to get hurt.
00:58:47No.
00:58:49Especially her.
00:58:53Another round?
00:58:55Yeah, thanks.
00:58:57Alright.
00:59:01Oh, and, uh, Jim.
00:59:05She's lucky to have you guys.
00:59:07Thank you.
00:59:17Well, it was great to meet you, Johnny.
00:59:23The pleasure was mine.
00:59:24Drive safe.
00:59:25We will, of course.
00:59:26Doesn't it?
00:59:2750 miles an hour in over two years tonight.
00:59:29Thank you for changing your plans and coming tonight.
00:59:31We didn't really have much of a choice, did we?
00:59:33Tell me, what are you doing tomorrow?
00:59:35A party.
00:59:37A party?
00:59:39Where?
00:59:41It's a silent auction thing at the museum.
00:59:43You mean the mistletoe ball?
00:59:45Yeah.
00:59:47Since when?
00:59:48Since I invited her.
00:59:49It's kind of a work thing.
00:59:51Oh.
00:59:53Tell me what it is you do again, Johnny.
00:59:55Finance.
00:59:56Oh, right.
00:59:57Okay.
00:59:58We'll see you on Christmas.
00:59:59Okay, yeah.
01:00:00Okay, goodbye.
01:00:01Bye.
01:00:02Bye.
01:00:03Love you.
01:00:04Love you too, honey.
01:00:05Bye.
01:00:06Bye.
01:00:07Bye.
01:00:08Call you.
01:00:09I think that was great.
01:00:15Yeah.
01:00:16That was weird.
01:00:17Yeah.
01:00:18Text, the rescheduling, the ball.
01:00:21Hm.
01:00:22The chemistry seems genuine.
01:00:24Maybe.
01:00:25There's something she's not telling us.
01:00:39How's it going in there?
01:00:41I'm almost ready.
01:00:42Good.
01:00:43Because I want to go over the plan one more time.
01:00:48I think it fits.
01:00:50Yeah.
01:00:51Should we go over it again?
01:01:10Yeah.
01:01:11Go for it.
01:01:13Okay.
01:01:14The suspect is Lou Bateman.
01:01:17Believed to be responsible for the theft of six.
01:01:20stolen, priceless artifacts from around the world.
01:01:23Yeah.
01:01:24His next target is the heart of Christmas.
01:01:27Otherwise known as the Mona Lisa of jewelry.
01:01:30It only comes out once a year, so.
01:01:32So it's our last shot.
01:01:33But no pressure, right?
01:01:35After we arrive at the museum,
01:01:37we will wait for Patty's introductory remarks,
01:01:39and then I will create a diversion.
01:01:41A gentle nudge at the champagne tower, and?
01:01:43Cabo.
01:01:44I cut the power, and swap the necklace.
01:01:47And hopefully no one is the wiser.
01:01:49Now, we don't know who Lou is working with,
01:01:51or what he's gonna make his move,
01:01:52so we have to keep an eye out for his accomplices.
01:01:54But do not follow them yourself.
01:01:56You leave that to me.
01:02:00You have second thoughts?
01:02:02No.
01:02:03It's okay if you are,
01:02:04because we can always say you got sick.
01:02:05You don't have to come.
01:02:07You still don't think I can do this?
01:02:10I didn't say that.
01:02:11No, it...
01:02:12It's fair.
01:02:15In my life, anything like this,
01:02:17I probably would have been...
01:02:20absolutely terrified.
01:02:24But for the first time ever,
01:02:26I feel like I'm a part of something important.
01:02:31Like I can help people,
01:02:33and I want to see that through.
01:02:38Plus, Patty will be really mad if we don't show up.
01:02:42That's true.
01:02:44And we can't have that.
01:02:45So, unless you want to be late...
01:02:50Shall we?
01:03:06Agent Dawson, we are in position,
01:03:07and we are standing by.
01:03:10Copy that.
01:03:12Here we go.
01:03:15There it is.
01:03:26There he is!
01:03:27Johnny Boy!
01:03:28Hey!
01:03:29And Whitney!
01:03:30Aw.
01:03:32Hola.
01:03:33Hola.
01:03:34It looks incredible in here,
01:03:35and so do you.
01:03:36Thank you.
01:03:37This is Henry,
01:03:38the museum director.
01:03:40These are our new friends,
01:03:41Whitney and Johnny.
01:03:42It's nice to meet you.
01:03:44Yes, nice to meet you.
01:03:45Henry has done such a brilliant job curating the museum.
01:03:48Have you seen the Dahlia dance?
01:03:50No.
01:03:51It is my favorite piece in the whole museum.
01:03:53I mean, aside from the necklace.
01:03:57Honey, I think that's your cue.
01:04:00Have fun, you too.
01:04:02I better go for moral support.
01:04:04I'll catch up with you, alright?
01:04:05Sounds good.
01:04:09Ready?
01:04:10Good evening, everyone, and welcome to the 10th Annual Mistletoe Ball,
01:04:22in honor of the museum's Art for Kids program.
01:04:25On behalf of Henry Kopelman and our lovely board of directors,
01:04:29we would like to thank you all for coming.
01:04:31Your generosity during this holiday season is deeply appreciated.
01:04:35And we do have a number of fun things to do tonight,
01:04:37but first,
01:04:38we want to remind you that we do indeed have a dance floor.
01:04:42So here to kick it off with a tango
01:04:44is a former professional dancer
01:04:46and my new bestie,
01:04:48Whitney.
01:04:52Take it away, Whitney and Johnny.
01:04:54What's happening here?
01:04:55Are you going to dance?
01:05:13Okay.
01:05:15I guess there's no good way to get out of this now.
01:05:18I don't think so.
01:05:19And the necklace?
01:05:20We'll keep eyes on it.
01:05:22Have you ever danced the tango before?
01:05:25Nope.
01:05:27Follow my lead.
01:05:29Backwards.
01:05:30Forward.
01:05:32Down.
01:05:34Twirly.
01:05:35Oh.
01:05:55Hello, Whitney.
01:06:07Hello Whitney
01:06:24Dad
01:06:37What are you doing here?
01:06:39Well, after last night, Mother and I looked up the ball and decided we had to come
01:06:42This was such a good cause, we get to see you again
01:06:45And boy, am I glad we got those last minute tickets
01:06:48That dance was worth the price of admission
01:06:50Yeah, well, I guess all those dance classes you took me to as a kid finally paid off
01:06:55Where's Mom?
01:06:58Oh, she's gone to Freshen Up
01:07:00So, Johnny
01:07:03What's happening?
01:07:06I don't know
01:07:07Dawson, what happened?
01:07:08Was that you?
01:07:10It's not us
01:07:10What's going on?
01:07:14Find Mom, stay together
01:07:16Excuse me?
01:07:20Excuse me
01:07:20We missed it
01:07:24The necklace is gone
01:07:26Copy
01:07:26Do you have a description?
01:07:28No, not yet
01:07:29Look

01:08:12it's empty
01:08:14It was a decoy
01:08:18For what?
01:08:27Is that Henry?
01:08:29Eagle's on the move
01:08:30Black SUV
01:08:31We have a new suspect
01:08:32His name is Henry Kopelman
01:08:34He's the museum director
01:08:35Mom?
01:08:38Dad?
01:08:41They have my parents
01:08:42We now have two hostages
01:08:46Repeat, two hostages
01:08:47They're in a second vehicle
01:08:48They're heading westbound
01:08:49Towards Main Street
01:08:50Wait!
01:09:12What are you doing?
01:09:20I'm going over
01:09:20I'm going to cut them off
01:09:21I'm coming with you
01:09:23No, it's too dangerous
01:09:24These are my parents
01:09:27Hold on tight
01:09:54Check first
01:09:56Think later
01:09:57You okay?
01:10:11Wait
01:10:11FBI, get out of the vehicle
01:10:17Hi, honey
01:10:26FBI, put your hands where I can
01:10:30See them
01:10:32How did you do that?
01:10:39Oh, brother
01:10:40Picked up a few things over the years
01:10:42Your mother and I
01:10:42From the home security installation business
01:10:46Um, okay, Mom
01:10:49What is going on?
01:10:50Before we started the home security business
01:10:53You were in the Bureau
01:10:55Spent a few years in the art fraud department
01:11:01In the late 80s
01:11:02Excuse me?
01:11:05Hostages are safe
01:11:06I repeat
01:11:06Hostages are safe
01:11:08So, we met as young recruits
01:11:10We worked together for seven years
01:11:12And found out that your mother was pregnant
01:11:14So
01:11:14We both decided to retire immediately
01:11:16What about your home security company?
01:11:19We opened it two months before you were born
01:11:21That's all real
01:11:23Okay
01:11:24Agent Dawson
01:11:25Do you have eyes on Lou Bateman?
01:11:26He's already in custody
01:11:27But he says he has nothing to do with it
01:11:29Of course he did
01:11:30What about Henry?
01:11:32Backups in pursuit
01:11:33We got him on GPS
01:11:34Wait, what?
01:11:35Well, thanks to the tracking device you installed
01:11:37What are you talking about?
01:11:39We never swapped the mechanisms
01:11:40It's gone
01:11:41What?
01:11:42Then
01:11:43Who did?
01:11:44We did it
01:11:45Mom
01:11:48Why?
01:11:51Postponing game night
01:11:52Not telling us about your new boyfriend
01:11:54Last night you just weren't yourself
01:11:57Nothing added up
01:11:58So we called an old friend in the Bureau
01:12:00Asked him to look into Johnny here
01:12:02And when we discovered agent Josh Dawson
01:12:04We got tickets to the ball to make sure you were okay
01:12:07Mm-hmm
01:12:07And we saw you dancing
01:12:08And looking at your purse like a predator
01:12:10Locked on a prey
01:12:11So
01:12:12Well, you were distracted
01:12:13We took a peek
01:12:14Saw the necklace
01:12:15And realized what was about to happen
01:12:17The old bait switch
01:12:18We've done it a time or two ourselves
01:12:20So I took the necklace
01:12:22Cut the power
01:12:23And during the chaos that ensued
01:12:25I swapped it for you
01:12:27But as I was walking away
01:12:28I saw someone take it
01:12:30We followed
01:12:31But then
01:12:32But anyway
01:12:35You know the rest
01:12:36Wait
01:12:38I still don't understand
01:12:40Did Lou hire Henry?
01:12:41Oh, he's probably getting the cut of the sale, honey
01:12:43Yeah
01:12:44I can't believe this
01:12:46I know
01:12:46It's a lot to take in
01:12:47No, what I can't believe is you guys
01:12:49You've been lying to me for
01:12:53Like forever
01:12:54Honey, it was for your own safety
01:12:56Now you, sir
01:12:57I do not know how you got her mixed up in this
01:12:59Whoa, no
01:12:59He had nothing to do with this
01:13:01In fact
01:13:02He tried to talk me out of it
01:13:03Multiple times
01:13:04Then why
01:13:05Because I wanted to
01:13:06Because my whole life
01:13:09I've been trying to be this
01:13:10Perfect daughter for you two
01:13:12Being safe
01:13:13Never taking any risks
01:13:15It's
01:13:16It's stifling
01:13:18And meanwhile
01:13:21You two are like
01:13:22Swap people
01:13:23I need space
01:13:25Whitney, please
01:13:27I'll talk to her
01:13:30We're going to have to get your statements on record
01:13:32Can you take them to headquarters, please?
01:13:35Of course
01:13:35Whitney
01:13:45Wait
01:13:46You okay?
01:13:50No
01:13:51Because I can't help but feel like
01:13:53Everyone in my life
01:13:54Thinks I'm incompetent
01:13:55Nobody thinks that
01:13:57Yes
01:13:57They do
01:13:58And you
01:14:00Worst of all
01:14:02How many times did you say to your boss
01:14:04She can't do it?
01:14:07I didn't know you then
01:14:08And yet just two hours ago
01:14:11You were trying to convince me out of all of this
01:14:12Because I didn't want you to get hurt
01:14:14Not because I thought you couldn't handle it
01:14:16Look, I wanted to protect you
01:14:19Like my parents were
01:14:21You can't be mad at them for wanting to keep you safe
01:14:23By lying to me
01:14:25By not trusting me
01:14:29By crashing the most exciting thing in my life
01:14:35Whitney
01:14:36They're your family
01:14:38Don't shut them out
01:14:40What do you know about family?
01:14:43Yeah
01:14:48Okay
01:14:50I'll be right there
01:14:51I gotta go
01:14:54Henry's in custody
01:14:56Okay
01:14:57I'll have someone drive you home
01:15:01I'll have someone drive you home
01:15:17It's gone
01:15:36Henry, Henry, Henry
01:15:37It's quite the mess you got yourself into
01:15:40Me? Oh please
01:15:42There was nothing subtle about what you guys did tonight
01:15:45You promised no drama
01:15:47Says a man who tried to steal a $10 million necklace
01:15:50Sir, I just got off the phone with the museum
01:15:53The necklace is not the only thing missing
01:15:55What?
01:15:56Apparently a painting was also taken
01:15:58It must have happened after the crowd was evacuated
01:16:00Which painting?
01:16:02It's the one with the woman and the red flowers
01:16:04The Dahlia dance
01:16:06Oh, she is bold
01:16:09Gotta give her that
01:16:11Wait
01:16:12What do you mean she?
01:16:17Whitney, what are you doing here?
01:16:20I just wanted to make sure you're okay after all the craziness
01:16:22May I come in?
01:16:24Of course
01:16:25I didn't know you were traveling for Christmas
01:16:32Last minute trip to Aruba
01:16:34Need a break from all this cold
01:16:35What was that?
01:16:40What was what?
01:16:41I didn't hear anything
01:16:42You know, I've been thinking about the necklace
01:16:45And all the artifacts that went missing
01:16:47Bronze Aphrodite
01:16:49King Tut's scrolls
01:16:52Dahlia dance
01:16:53You know what they all have in common
01:16:56Love
01:16:58You know who loves love
01:17:02Whitney
01:17:04Look, I get it
01:17:05Who doesn't love a romantic story?
01:17:08I know I do
01:17:08I've read all of them
01:17:10Leave now
01:17:11And I will forget you came here
01:17:12I can help you
01:17:14Patty
01:17:14But you have to tell me the truth
01:17:16I'm afraid it's too late for that now
01:17:19Ephian, you're under arrest
01:17:30I recorded that, if that helps
01:17:37Oh, that's great
01:17:38Thank you, Whitney
01:17:49I'm afraid it's too late for that now
01:18:19Merry Christmas, kiddo
01:18:21Can we come in?
01:18:42It's been about yesterday
01:18:43You had every right to be mad
01:18:45As a parent, your number one job
01:18:47Is to keep your kids safe
01:18:49And despite feeling like we made the right choice at the time
01:18:51We know we took it too far
01:18:53We actually thought you liked your life
01:18:55Liked your job
01:18:56We didn't realize how much pressure we were putting on you
01:18:59If I'd known you were so unhappy
01:19:02I would have told you sooner
01:19:04I am so, so sorry, honey
01:19:07You know those kittens you saved that one Christmas when you were a kid?
01:19:11I don't know if you remember this, but when you found them in the garage
01:19:16Those kittens were up in the rafters
01:19:18So you had to climb up there to rescue them
01:19:20And that's how your mother and I found you
01:19:23Seven years old
01:19:25Hanging by one arm
01:19:26Fearless
01:19:28You were always capable, Whitney
01:19:32We were just too afraid to let you go
01:19:34Sorry
01:19:46I know, Dad
01:19:49I'm sorry
01:19:56I should...
01:20:02Yep, go
01:20:03Right?
01:20:04Yeah, okay
01:20:05Yeah
01:20:05Go, go, just go, go
01:20:09Okay, okay
01:20:10Hi
01:20:18Hi
01:20:22I, uh, never got a chance to thank you
01:20:26Things got a little crazy last night
01:20:29You don't have to
01:20:30Yeah, I do
01:20:30Patty would have gotten away if you hadn't slowed her down
01:20:34About what I said at the museum, I'm so sorry
01:20:40It's okay
01:20:41No, it's not
01:20:43I was upset
01:20:45And I took it out on you and you didn't deserve that
01:20:48Here
01:20:52What's this for?
01:20:55You couldn't let another Christmas go by without someone giving you a present
01:21:04I know this wasn't your experience growing up, but
01:21:14Maybe going forward it could be
01:21:18Do you mind?
01:21:26Oh
01:21:26I, uh...
01:21:29Actually got a little something for you, too
01:21:31It's the work you could
01:21:39Oh
01:21:40And I did remove the tracker
01:21:42It's just a little reminder of everything that you did this week
01:21:46And I hope that when you look at it
01:21:50You see what I see
01:21:52An elementary school librarian?
01:21:57No
01:21:57You're the bravest person I've ever met
01:22:02Anyway, it's, uh, it's Christmas
01:22:07I'm sure you want to spend time with your family
01:22:10So I'll, uh, I'll leave you to it
01:22:12Wait
01:22:17What are you doing tonight?
01:22:22You know me
01:22:23It's just another day
01:22:25You could stay
01:22:26You are supposed to be my boyfriend, after all
01:22:31Yeah
01:22:34Not that
01:22:37Maybe we could ditch the fake part
01:22:41You sure you don't want to give Mark Love's Cats 1922 another shot?
01:22:49I've never been more sure of anything in my life
01:22:52Mom
01:23:08Sorry, sorry, sorry
01:23:10Hey, Josh
01:23:11You want to come in?
01:23:13Dad

01:23:15We need to work on boundaries
