00:00:00Hey big brother, when are you gonna make it official? Tell him you're chairman and yeah,
00:00:03the richest man in Texas, you bringing the wife and kids home for Christmas?
00:00:05No rush. Ugh, I've been acting CEO for years. I want a vacation, I want a boyfriend,
00:00:09I want to travel. How about tomorrow, company gala, you let your sister-in-law take over.
00:00:12You got a little bit of a breather. Oh, also, um, can you set up Michael's job beforehand?
00:00:17I want to give the kid a surprise. Done. I'll set it all up.
00:00:20All right, listen, I gotta get going. I mean, the kids are coming back. I need to finish up
00:00:22Christmas Eve dinner. Bye. What? Emily, Emily. God, you got this for us? Wow,
00:00:33I mean, you've always been such a conservative type. What a surprise.
00:00:37Well, must be Emily and the kids coming back. All right, Mark, time to show you still got it.
00:00:42Emily, you're back. Yeah, Jamie, I just got home. I miss you so much.
00:00:50I'm glad you're home. I need a blanket from the bedroom.
00:00:58A hickey. I mean, what's on your neck? What is this? I said, I need a blanket.
00:01:05That lunch bag, it wasn't for me.
00:01:40Oh, Jamie, I'm going to show you a side of me that he won't see.
00:01:44I said no one knows. I want true love.
00:01:47One true love?
00:01:51So it's not that you hate yourself. I just hate wearing it for me.
00:01:59What else do you want to see? I'll shoot it for you.
00:02:02Emily! Tell me the truth. What did you do in our bed behind my back?
00:02:09Emily! Tell me the truth.
00:02:11What are you doing?
00:02:12What is this? Start talking. What did you do?
00:02:14Who said you to go through my stuff? That's my privacy.
00:02:16You're disgusting.
00:02:19I'm disgusting? I'm disgusting? I broke my back for this family, for your career,
00:02:24and you're texting dirty photos and screwing some guy. You betrayed our love.
00:02:29We're working on photography. It's art. Why are you overreacting?
00:02:32Art? What do you think? I'm stupid? How long have you been screwing this bastard?
00:02:36Don't call him a bastard. Jamie understands me. He cares for me. He's the best friend I could ever ask
00:02:40for.
00:02:42Dad! Dad!
00:02:43Billy, get your hands off! Get off of her!
00:02:44Dad!
00:02:45Mom, are you okay?
00:02:46How could you wait a hand more long?
00:02:48Go ahead. Go ahead. Tell our kids. Tell our kids how you and Jamie are just friends.
00:02:51I have nothing to hide.
00:02:53Mark, I have dealt with your lack of ambition, your laziness, you living off of me, and you can't just
00:02:57trust me?
00:02:59Dad, you've got it wrong. Mom and Uncle Jamie are just friends.
00:03:04Please, what woman doesn't have a bestie?
00:03:05Yeah, Dad. Jamie is an accountant at the factory Mom works at. He even secured me a job.
00:03:09Just don't make a scene about this, okay?
00:03:11You knew? You two knew?
00:03:16Emma, Michael, have I not been a good father to you?
00:03:20Darling, you left something at my place. Guess what? Surprise!
00:03:25What the fuck is this?
00:03:27Darling, you left something at my place.
00:03:29Guess what? Surprise!
00:03:32Jamie!
00:03:34Oh my God!
00:03:37So you're Jamie.
00:03:38Hi, Jamie.
00:03:42Accounting supervisor at Lone Star Petrochem, Texas's largest petrochemical company.
00:03:48And a friend of Emily's.
00:03:53Fuck. You betrayed me for this clown?
00:03:55Oh, is your husband always this royal?
00:03:57Mark, I didn't show you those photos because I knew you would spiral.
00:03:59I have known Jamie longer than I've known you.
00:04:01If I wanted to do something, I would have done it already.
00:04:02Is there no limit to your drama?
00:04:04Dad, seriously? I mean, can't a marriage have a little trust?
00:04:06Yeah, Dad, let him know. My career is depending on him.
00:04:09Fuck!
00:04:10You! All of you!
00:04:11Emily and I have the same taste, okay?
00:04:13Those photos are art. Just to make her happy.
00:04:16Also, thank you for sharing your beautiful wife with me.
00:04:20If it makes you uncomfortable, I guess I could stop shooting.
00:04:24Get out!
00:04:27That's it. After all these years, I am done with you.
00:04:31You are the most useless man I have ever met.
00:04:33I have to fight my way to the top with no one to lean on.
00:04:35Jamie is the one who got me on the board.
00:04:37And you? Besides cooking, what have you done for me?
00:04:40You doubt me. You trust me.
00:04:42I never helped you.
00:04:44The only reason that you're acting director is speaking...
00:04:46Oh, enough!
00:04:46You never understood me.
00:04:48My biggest mistake was marrying a deadweight like you.
00:04:53Deadweight.
00:04:55Emily, 20 years ago, when you were dying and everybody bailed on you,
00:04:59who was there for you?
00:05:00Who gave your medicine?
00:05:01Who fed you?
00:05:02Who sat up with you every single night?
00:05:04Me!
00:05:05Me!
00:05:07And I'm deadweight.
00:05:09Emily, you're gonna get better.
00:05:11Okay, you are.
00:05:12I know it.
00:05:13Listen, don't you worry.
00:05:14Don't you worry about the money.
00:05:14I'll take care of everything.
00:05:15I promise.
00:05:16You should find yourself another girl.
00:05:18Just a burden.
00:05:19Not a lot of time left.
00:05:21Don't you, don't you say that.
00:05:23Don't you ever say that.
00:05:24You are my wife.
00:05:25From now until forever.
00:05:27And you are not a burden.
00:05:28Remember it.
00:05:29Till death do us part.
00:05:31And sickness in the house.
00:05:32I'm yours.
00:05:33Till death do us part.
00:05:40Emily.
00:05:41Those of house.
00:05:42Those nights.
00:05:43Have you forgotten them?
00:05:45And I missed my mother's last moments because of you.
00:05:47I never asked you to do that.
00:05:48That was your own choice.
00:05:49And besides, you've been a parasite in my home for years.
00:05:51Eating my suit.
00:05:52Living off my dime.
00:05:53I think the debt has been paid in full.
00:05:55You.
00:05:56Emily.
00:05:57This is all my fault.
00:05:59I got Christmas presents for all of you.
00:06:01But since Mark isn't a fan of me, I'll give them to you all early.
00:06:03And then I'll be gone from your lives for forever.
00:06:07Okay.
00:06:08Got one.
00:06:09And there you go.
00:06:14Oh my gosh.
00:06:15A Porsche 911.
00:06:17Uncle Jamie, this is my dream car.
00:06:19You're so generous.
00:06:22The latest Louis Vuitton bag.
00:06:23Oh my gosh.
00:06:27And Chanel perfume.
00:06:35Jamie, this is too much.
00:06:37It's nothing, okay?
00:06:38I saw you all tying it in the windows and I picked it up.
00:06:41Uncle Jamie, is this how you won mom over back then?
00:06:43With all this kindness?
00:06:45Her first love.
00:06:46Wait, wait.
00:06:47First love?
00:06:49Back then, Emily was ill and works at me overseas.
00:06:53I failed her once.
00:06:55Now, as long as she's happy, I'll guard her from afar.
00:06:59Uncle Jamie did all that for mom.
00:07:00That's true love.
00:07:02Wait.
00:07:03Mark, you haven't been happy with mom in a long time.
00:07:05I think it's time to step aside and let Uncle Jamie take care of this.
00:07:10No, mom.
00:07:11Michael.
00:07:12All those years.
00:07:13All that blood, sweat and tears raising you.
00:07:16And he comes along with some handout and you're just going to forget that everything
00:07:19that your own father did for you?
00:07:21Did for us?
00:07:22Mom is the one who's been working day and night while you were at home doing nothing.
00:07:25She's about to become executive director.
00:07:27You shouldn't be holding her back.
00:07:29Don't look at me, dad.
00:07:30I mean, you've got no game.
00:07:32Uncle Jamie promised me after the new year I'm in at Lone Star Petrochem.
00:07:35So my future, my income, that's all coming from him.
00:07:38You, no job, no money.
00:07:40I mean, there's really nothing for you to give me, dad.
00:07:43So, uh, beep beep.
00:07:49Oh, I love this, dad.
00:07:50There's you right there.
00:07:51What's that?
00:07:52I think it's a meerkat.
00:07:53I think it is a meerkat.
00:07:54What do you got on here?
00:07:54Lots of buses and trucks.
00:07:55Nice.
00:07:56You see what I drew?
00:07:56Pink.
00:07:56This is us.
00:07:58You like my pink hair?
00:07:59Yeah.
00:08:00Hi.
00:08:01Let me put more on.
00:08:02Oh, I like this panda bear.
00:08:06We'll love you forever, dad.
00:08:08You.
00:08:09Both of you.
00:08:11Some kids I raised, huh?
00:08:14Two thankless little bastards.
00:08:16How the hell was that?
00:08:17Whoa.
00:08:19I'm not Robin.
00:08:21Great.
00:08:25I'll go.
00:08:26Oh, yeah.
00:08:27After you, please.
00:08:27Go for it.
00:08:27Go for it that way.
00:08:29Emily's about to be bumped up to executive director.
00:08:31I need them divorced.
00:08:32So she ends up with me.
00:08:34Mark, what are you doing?
00:08:35The one who should be leaving is-
00:08:36Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
00:08:38Mark, are you insane?
00:08:39Jamie, are you okay?
00:08:43He only lashed out because he's afraid of losing all this.
00:08:46I don't blame him.
00:08:47Dad, Uncle Jamie was just trying to help.
00:08:48How can you be so ungrateful?
00:08:50He hits Uncle Jamie today.
00:08:51He'll hit mom tomorrow.
00:08:52Mom, I've got to divorce him.
00:08:54Look, I didn't even touch him.
00:08:55Shut up.
00:09:00You're impossible, Mark.
00:09:01You dare leave a hand on my friend?
00:09:03Get out, right now.
00:09:04Emily, have you forgotten how I took care of the hospital back then?
00:09:07I mean, even a dog I raised would be more grateful than you.
00:09:10I've paid for everything, including the clothes that you're wearing right now.
00:09:13You're the ungrateful one, you bum.
00:09:14Get out of my house.
00:09:16Emma, Michael, strip the trash.
00:09:18No, Emma, Michael, it's Christmas.
00:09:20Please, please help your father.
00:09:21Please don't do this.
00:09:22Don't do this, please.
00:09:23No, please, please don't.
00:09:33Get out.
00:09:34Don't ruin our family's Christmas.
00:09:38Marriage is over.
00:09:39We're getting a divorce.
00:09:41Uncle Jamie's part of our family now.
00:09:42Get out, old man.
00:09:43Yeah, get off your butt and leave us, old fart.
00:09:53On this Christmas, let's give thanks for the food in front of us,
00:09:56the family between us, and the love around us.
00:10:00Family, love, lies.
00:10:04Jennifer, we need to talk.
00:10:10You're the one who put Emily on the ladder.
00:10:11Michael's job, I placed him because you asked.
00:10:13And this is how they treat you?
00:10:15Heartless.
00:10:16Absolutely heartless.
00:10:23Mark, she's just a regular woman.
00:10:25No power, no pull.
00:10:27Why keep your identity under wraps from her?
00:10:29Emily's a very problem.
00:10:30If she knew the truth about me, she might feel unworthy and wouldn't marry me.
00:10:32So, I'll keep that quiet, and I give her the best of everything from the shadows.
00:10:38She's not worth it.
00:10:40This watch.
00:10:41Mom left it to you.
00:10:42Back then, she forced herself through the pain just to see you one last time.
00:10:48Mom.
00:10:49Have the doctor give me the shots.
00:10:53I have to see Mark one last time.
00:10:57It'll hurt so much.
00:11:06Mark, please hurry.
00:11:14Wait, was that mom?
00:11:15How's she doing?
00:11:16Oh no, it was no one.
00:11:17Is that soup?
00:11:18I'm starving.
00:11:19Yeah, I was hoping to hear from her.
00:11:21I'm sure she'll call soon.
00:11:22I hope you're hungry.
00:11:23I can't get it off.
00:11:24Oh, it's your chicken noodle.
00:11:24Yes, it is.
00:11:25My favorite.
00:11:36Mark, honey, it's chili.
00:11:38Make sure you bundle up.
00:11:42I didn't want to wreck your marriage.
00:11:44So, I never told you.
00:11:54I'm divorcing Emily.
00:11:56I need you to do something for me, Jennifer.
00:12:03Emily, did you get a hold of a plumber?
00:12:04I tried to click a faucet blue.
00:12:05It's Christmas.
00:12:06Every plumber's off.
00:12:08Dad would have fixed it already.
00:12:09He would have had it done in minutes.
00:12:10Yeah.
00:12:11He's better at this stuff than I am.
00:12:12Yeah.
00:12:12No, Mark is only good at patching pipes.
00:12:14He's nowhere near your league.
00:12:20Hello.
00:12:22What?
00:12:23What did you just say?
00:12:28What happened?
00:12:29My uncle Tom runs HR over at the Petrochem plant.
00:12:32He says he just saw Mark, the current executive director.
00:12:34He's not going to take this to the board, is he?
00:12:36What?
00:12:36Tom's promotion can't take a hit.
00:12:37She's supposed to secure me a job in the new year.
00:12:39Yeah.
00:12:40Mark just can't stand to see me win.
00:12:42He splints to put me in a corner.
00:12:43Jamie, what do I do?
00:12:44Relax.
00:12:45I know the executive director.
00:12:47She likes me.
00:12:48I will call her.
00:12:50Thank you, Jamie.
00:12:51Don't thank me yet.
00:12:57Mark, are you really set at doing this at the gala?
00:12:59You once gave up everything and told me to back Emily with care.
00:13:02If you do this, she loses it all.
00:13:06I know.
00:13:10Hello, Miss Jennifer.
00:13:11It's Jamie.
00:13:12Just a heads up.
00:13:13Please do not let rumors sway you about Emily's promotion to the board.
00:13:16She's responsible, professional.
00:13:18She can do the job.
00:13:20We're done here.
00:13:21You don't get to interfere.
00:13:23Tell Emily to prepare.
00:13:24At the annual gala, there's a big surprise coming her way.
00:13:34What did the board say?
00:13:35Relax.
00:13:36Miss Jennifer says, get ready.
00:13:38There's a big surprise.
00:13:39Sounds like they are going to name you as the next executive director at the gala.
00:13:42The mystery chairman is going to be there and he will personally deliver you that promotion.
00:13:46Really?
00:13:46Oh my gosh, mom.
00:13:48Congrats.
00:13:48And once you're on the board, your boy's going to walk up in there like he owns the place.
00:13:51Hashtag golden boy.
00:13:53Mom went to the director.
00:13:54You've got to buy my allowance.
00:13:55Then I can snag myself a rich boyfriend on campus.
00:13:57Hashtag golden girl.
00:13:59Cheers.
00:13:59Is it?
00:14:02Emily.
00:14:06I've waited years.
00:14:07So when you're on the board, don't forget us.
00:14:10Wait, the kids are here.
00:14:11Oh.
00:14:15No wonder they call this Texas's biggest petrochemical plant.
00:14:18Look at this gala.
00:14:19Oh, please.
00:14:20When mom's the executive director, this place will basically be ours.
00:14:24Shall we?
00:14:26Yes.
00:14:32Congratulations.
00:14:36Mrs. Emily, where's the board announces you as a new executive director tonight?
00:14:40Congrats.
00:14:41Don't forget us old friends when you're on the board.
00:14:43Absolutely.
00:14:46You were right, Michael.
00:14:47Mom can only shine when she's with the right guy.
00:14:48Mom and Uncle Jamie, that's the match.
00:14:50Yeah, our dad's a nobody.
00:14:52He could never make it into a gala like this.
00:14:55This gala, it's critical.
00:14:58No mistakes.
00:14:59Eyes up.
00:15:03Eyes up.
00:15:04The chairman is coming.
00:15:18Helen, the gala begins.
00:15:23This year's gala wasn't supposed to be this big, but the word is the chairman is coming back to
00:15:27hand out promotions himself.
00:15:28Total honor.
00:15:29He isn't just the chairman, he's the richest man in Texas.
00:15:31And he's putting up millions in bonuses for everyone.
00:15:34Whoever's the chairman's son just cut 50 years off the grind.
00:15:37What?
00:15:38If the chairman was my dad?
00:15:40Wow, he's so generous.
00:15:42Talk about clouds.
00:15:43You're telling me, sister.
00:15:46Emily, when you get called up by the chairman himself, they'll forget to put in a good word
00:15:50for me, yeah?
00:15:51Of course.
00:16:00Welcome to the chairman.
00:16:04Message from HQ.
00:16:05The chairman says the gala begins now.
00:16:10Merry Christmas, everyone.
00:16:19Mark's never seen this kind of money in his life.
00:16:21You should invite him.
00:16:22Let him see the world for once.
00:16:24He's a sewer rat.
00:16:26Spare me.
00:16:27Yeah, this place isn't for just anyone.
00:16:30He wouldn't even fit in here as a shoe shiner.
00:16:32Uh, sis, when the chairman gets here, make sure you get a picture of me with him.
00:16:35I'm gonna post it so I can level up my feed.
00:16:37Okay.
00:16:40Emily, you are about to make your executive director dream real.
00:16:43And I'll be by your side forever.
00:16:46Chairman arriving.
00:17:03Dad?
00:17:06Miss Jennifer, your makeup artist has arrived.
00:17:08Okay, Mark, are you gonna be good on your own?
00:17:10I'm the chairman.
00:17:11Nobody's gonna cross me.
00:17:12Go look stunning.
00:17:13You can count on me, big bro.
00:17:14I'll make you proud.
00:17:21Mom, is Dad really the chairman?
00:17:23Impossible.
00:17:24Mark is a penniless freeloader.
00:17:25I've been married to him for years.
00:17:26I know exactly who he is.
00:17:30Uh, Mark?
00:17:31Hello?
00:17:33Mark, wait.
00:17:3620 years.
00:17:37A lot of new faces on this floor.
00:17:39Who's that?
00:17:40Who's that?
00:17:40I don't know.
00:17:41I think that's the chairman.
00:17:43Oh, this guy was gonna be amazed.
00:17:46What?
00:17:47Your joke.
00:17:48Did you really think you could barge into here and try to win you back?
00:17:51Dream on.
00:17:52What makes you think that I'm here for you?
00:17:53I'm here for the gala.
00:17:55What?
00:17:55A rented suit doesn't make you a chairman.
00:17:57Now, go.
00:17:58You can't force your way into the upper class.
00:18:00Out of pity for the scrap of love you share, here's a heads up.
00:18:04In 10 minutes, Miss Jennifer and the chairman will present Mom's promotion.
00:18:07If you don't want to be the joke of the night, then leave.
00:18:11Now.
00:18:15Here's the divorce agreement.
00:18:17Sign them and get lost.
00:18:19Once I'm on the board, we'll be worlds apart.
00:18:21Don't ever dream of standing next to me again.
00:18:27Mark, as the guilty party, agrees to forfeit all rights to the marital estate.
00:18:31Emily, you got some nerve.
00:18:33You're the one who cheated.
00:18:34Now, somehow you twisted this so that I get nothing?
00:18:37You haven't made a cent in years.
00:18:38I've paid for everything.
00:18:41After the divorce, you don't deserve a dollar from this home.
00:18:43You ever think that everything you have, you and you, came from me?
00:18:47Think hard.
00:18:48Because once I sign this, you're nothing.
00:18:52Stop grandstanding.
00:18:54Everything in that house came from Mom.
00:18:58Quit polishing your own halo.
00:19:00Sign it now.
00:19:01Don't make me slap you on Christmas.
00:19:04How are you away?
00:19:11Wait.
00:19:16Michael, what are you doing?
00:19:20I drew these up already.
00:19:22Go ahead and sign.
00:19:24We've been done with a dad like you for a long time.
00:19:27Sign these papers so that we can take Uncle Jamie's last name.
00:19:29No more Wilson.
00:19:30Yeah.
00:19:30Sign it.
00:19:31From now on, I'm Emma Bond.
00:19:32Period.
00:19:33Not some basic Emma Wilson.
00:19:35Uncle Jamie, marry your mom, okay?
00:19:37We'll love you forever.
00:19:39We'll love you forever.
00:19:44We'll love you forever, dad.
00:19:57You're my blood.
00:19:58I mean, do you really think that a scrap of paper can sever that?
00:20:00You're just my biological father.
00:20:02If we don't claim you, you're not my dad.
00:20:05Yeah, I'm claiming Uncle Jamie as my dad.
00:20:07Come on now, Michael.
00:20:09Emma.
00:20:09Don't embarrass him.
00:20:11Mark, look at you.
00:20:12Father of the year.
00:20:13Even your own kids reject your name.
00:20:14I spent half of my life caring for you two.
00:20:16And what do I get?
00:20:17Two ungrateful children?
00:20:18You cut ties with me as your father.
00:20:20And I'm done caring, period.
00:20:21Yeah, okay.
00:20:26Miss Jennifer, the plans can eat it.
00:20:28Emily, just arrived at the gala.
00:20:30No rush.
00:20:31Let's make them wait a bag.
00:20:33Emily, tonight every insult you threw at my brother,
00:20:36I'll pay back double.
00:20:44Emily, Emma, Michael, you have cut the last thread of my affection for you.
00:20:48And the thread for your futures.
00:20:50Whatever happens to you now, it's on you.
00:20:52Blah, blah, blah, blah.
00:20:53Spare us the doom talk.
00:20:54Mom is about to get promoted by Miss Jennifer and the chairman.
00:20:56You're just a jobless bum.
00:20:58Without mom, you'll be on your knees begging by morning.
00:21:01Just worry about yourself, old man.
00:21:03Mom, congrats.
00:21:04You and Uncle Jamie can finally live a happily ever after.
00:21:07Mom, you're about to be the executive director of Texas's biggest petrochem plant,
00:21:12which makes me the factory golden boy.
00:21:14Mom, okay, once you're the director, you have to pop my allowance.
00:21:17Then I can hit college with real confidence.
00:21:20What makes you so sure it's a promotion?
00:21:22Maybe it's a termination.
00:21:25Maybe it's a termination.
00:21:32Pull the promotion.
00:21:35Cut Emily and Jamie loose.
00:21:37And shut every door to them across the industry.
00:21:40I built her up.
00:21:41And I can tear her down.
00:21:47Maybe it's a termination.
00:21:49Termination?
00:21:50Everybody knows that tonight is all about mom's promotion.
00:21:53She's got it on lock.
00:21:54Wow, Mark.
00:21:55Petty much?
00:21:56You can't freeload off my Emily, so now you're, what, sour about it?
00:22:00Mark, just save it.
00:22:01After the divorce, I hope you finally get a job.
00:22:04Stop reloading off me and finally stop being the punchline.
00:22:08Out of my way.
00:22:11It's the chairman section.
00:22:13What?
00:22:13What?
00:22:14He's lost it.
00:22:15He's completely lost.
00:22:16He's trying to sign in the chairman section.
00:22:18Even if he's your ex, you're still going to be dragged down by this.
00:22:20He's trying to take through promotion.
00:22:24What are you doing?
00:22:25I'm signing in.
00:22:26I told you I'm here for the gala.
00:22:27Liar.
00:22:27There's no way you got an invite.
00:22:28You're just here to get back at me.
00:22:29Get out.
00:22:35Let go of me.
00:22:36Emily.
00:22:38When you and I were married, I tolerated it because I loved you.
00:22:41But that's over.
00:22:42Don't ever touch me again.
00:22:45Mom!
00:22:48Dad, do you even know where you're about to sign?
00:22:50That's the chairman section.
00:22:51Are you trying to ruin us?
00:22:52Let's go.
00:22:53Time everyone heard the truth.
00:22:55I don't see what the big deal is.
00:22:57That spot was meant for me.
00:23:00Mark, are you insane?
00:23:02Miss Jennifer and the chairman are on their way.
00:23:03You won't survive the richest man in Texas.
00:23:06They will drag us down with you.
00:23:08You're going to tank Emily's promotion.
00:23:11Mom, it's not coming off.
00:23:12What do we do?
00:23:13Are you going to lose the promotion because of him?
00:23:14Mark, if I lose this promotion, I will make sure you never breathe again.
00:23:17All right, everyone settle down.
00:23:18The chairman is on his way.
00:23:19What is with all the yelling?
00:23:21Uncle Tom!
00:23:23Perfect timing.
00:23:24This loser signed in the chairman section.
00:23:26He's begging to offend the boss.
00:23:27Please teach him a lesson.
00:23:29What?
00:23:30Who is the idiot that would dare slight the chairman?
00:23:32I will have his head.
00:23:33Have my head.
00:23:34Open your eyes.
00:23:34Take a good look at who you're talking to.
00:23:37You are?
00:23:41So you're the genius that signed in the chairman's box.
00:23:44Well, Mr. Genius, if you don't want to die, you'll get down there,
00:23:46wipe it clean, or I will put you out of your misery right here.
00:23:49You really don't recognize me.
00:23:50Oh my god, Mark, drop the act.
00:23:53Tom has been the HR manager for the past 10 years.
00:23:55He's worked at this company even longer than I have.
00:23:56Why on earth would you recognize your face?
00:23:58Dad, this is getting more and more pathetic.
00:24:01Please, just go.
00:24:03Only 10 years?
00:24:05That's fair.
00:24:06I haven't gone over 20.
00:24:07Makes sense that you don't recognize me.
00:24:09Oh, drop the performance.
00:24:11Mr. Tom, this is my deadbeat father, freshly divorced,
00:24:15and now he's pretending he's some chairman gone 20 years.
00:24:18Please, get him out.
00:24:20Tom, think very carefully.
00:24:24The chairman goes in and out.
00:24:25Hasn't set foot here in over 20 years.
00:24:26I've never seen him.
00:24:27No way.
00:24:28Is it him?
00:24:29Tom, don't let him spook you.
00:24:31He's Emily's worthless ex, just divorced.
00:24:33He's trying to wreck the gala to tank her promotion.
00:24:36Wait, Emily's getting divorced?
00:24:37She's about to be promoted to executive director on stage
00:24:39by the chairman of Ms. Jennifer at the annual gala.
00:24:42Does that affect it?
00:24:43Exactly.
00:24:43Make sure the dead weight is dealt with.
00:24:45And look, soon I'll get here.
00:24:46I'll make sure my dear Emily says something nice about you in front of the chairman.
00:24:49Maybe snag one last promotion before you call it a career, yeah?
00:24:53Mrs. Emily?
00:24:53Tom, get him out of here.
00:24:55I don't want any of the family drama to ruin the gala.
00:24:57Yes, Mrs. Emily.
00:24:58I'll remove him right now.
00:25:00You too.
00:25:00Take him out.
00:25:04What did you say?
00:25:07What are you doing?
00:25:08Look, get off me.
00:25:09I told you.
00:25:10I am the chairman.
00:25:11Yeah, right.
00:25:12A clown like you could pass for the chairman.
00:25:17You don't believe me?
00:25:18Call Jennifer.
00:25:18She'll give you your answer.
00:25:19Well, you don't rate a direct line with Ms. Jennifer.
00:25:22Besides, our orders were clear.
00:25:23The chairman returns tonight.
00:25:24Any gate crashers get tossed.
00:25:26So how do you want to do this, pal?
00:25:27Walk out of here on your own the easy way.
00:25:29Or I could help you.
00:25:30And that'd be the hard way.
00:25:31Do us a favor, Mark.
00:25:33Stop sticking to my mom like an old chewed out piece of gum and leave.
00:25:37Yeah, Mark.
00:25:37You already signed the divorce papers.
00:25:39Might as well just make it a clean break.
00:25:40Stop clinging to me.
00:25:41Clinging to you?
00:25:42Please.
00:25:42If I have to look at you for one more second, I'm going to throw up.
00:25:44Look, it's the last time I'm going to tell you.
00:25:46This is my plant.
00:25:46And it's you who need to leave now.
00:25:50Hey, let's not stoop to his level, okay?
00:25:52Mark, you are way out of line.
00:25:54Security, get him out now.
00:25:55Hey, no, come on.
00:25:56Let's get your hands off.
00:25:58Oh.
00:25:59Get off of me.
00:26:00No, no, no, no.
00:26:02Give that back.
00:26:04So this is the keepsake you got from that old hag.
00:26:06Emily, I'm warning you.
00:26:07Give my mother's watch back.
00:26:09Were you all tough just a second ago?
00:26:11You want this back?
00:26:12Then get on your knees.
00:26:13Slap yourself a hundred times while saying I was wrong.
00:26:15And then maybe I'll give it back to you.
00:26:17Emily, you're insane.
00:26:20What?
00:26:21Your knee's not working?
00:26:22You used to get on them so fast when I was mad.
00:26:24And now for your mother's precious watch, you refuse to kneel?
00:26:27You're pushing it.
00:26:28I'm pushing it?
00:26:29Okay, I'll smash it.
00:26:30I hate this old antique anyway.
00:26:33Don't, don't.
00:26:38Then kneel.
00:26:41All right, Mark, I know you're Mr. Pig CEO, but why don't we get a smile for once?
00:26:46There we go.
00:26:47Three, two, one.
00:26:49Oh, we look good.
00:26:52Mom, when I can't be with you, this watch, this watch will be me.
00:26:56Right by your side, okay?
00:26:57Good.
00:26:58And when I'm gone, you look at this watch and it's me by your side.
00:27:03Then kneel.
00:27:05Fine.
00:27:06I'll do it.
00:27:11Some things never change, my little lap dog.
00:27:19Give it back.
00:27:21You know what was always so annoying, besides your general uselessness?
00:27:25Your old head of a mother calling me day and night.
00:27:28It's like I swear that ringtone was going to drive me insane.
00:27:30But luckily for us, she did die early.
00:27:32You want the watch back?
00:27:33You'll get back.
00:27:34You'll get back.
00:27:35In another lifetime.
00:27:36No!
00:27:39Miss Jennifer, there's a situation inside with Emily and the chairman.
00:27:43Take me there, now.
00:27:53Emily, you heartless bitch!
00:28:12You got some nerve.
00:28:17You got some nerve!
00:28:22Miss Jennifer, how rude of me.
00:28:24If I knew you were coming, I would have met you at the door.
00:28:25Welcome.
00:28:25Hi, I'm Emily from sales.
00:28:27It is such an honor to get this award from you and the chairman tonight.
00:28:29Miss Jennifer, isn't he meant to be from the awards Emily himself?
00:28:33Out of my way.
00:28:36On a night like this, stirring up a scene at the company gala?
00:28:38Bold of you.
00:28:40It wasn't us.
00:28:41There was someone impersonating the chairman.
00:28:42We just took him down.
00:28:43Yeah, that's right.
00:28:44We were about to take out the troublemaker.
00:28:46A troublemaker?
00:28:47Yeah.
00:28:50Clean that up.
00:28:53Where's my brother?
00:28:55Have you seen Mark?
00:28:57How does he know Mark?
00:28:58You have, haven't you?
00:28:59No.
00:29:01Then where did he go?
00:29:01He was supposed to be here.
00:29:04He took his watch.
00:29:05Stop!
00:29:07Stop!
00:29:16This was Mom's.
00:29:17She left it for you.
00:29:19She wouldn't want to see her sad like this.
00:29:34Tell me, where is the owner of this watch?
00:29:36Miss Jennifer, surely finding the owner isn't as important as promoting Emily.
00:29:39Right.
00:29:40The gala is about to start.
00:29:41Let's proceed.
00:29:41The owner is the same nobody who was pretending to be the chairman.
00:29:43We already handled him.
00:29:44Handled him?
00:29:45You're telling me who you threw out was the owner of this watch.
00:29:48Yes, ma'am.
00:29:48Don't worry.
00:29:49Okay, that loser won't make waves.
00:29:50The chairman will never know.
00:29:51Isn't he meant to be-
00:29:51Answer me!
00:29:52Where is the owner of this watch?
00:29:56Jennifer.
00:30:01Mark?
00:30:05Doctor!
00:30:06Get it, doctor!
00:30:10Check his vitals.
00:30:10Make sure my brother is stable.
00:30:12Wait, did she just call that Debbie?
00:30:13Brother?
00:30:14We must have misheard.
00:30:15I have never once heard that she has a brother.
00:30:18Who did this?
00:30:23Jennifer, please don't be upset.
00:30:25Okay, we should not have hit him, perhaps, but he crashed the gala,
00:30:28impersonating the chairman, signing on the chairman's board.
00:30:30We were teaching him a small lesson.
00:30:34Pretending to be the chairman?
00:30:36Jennifer, look, this is on security.
00:30:37We let nobody slip in.
00:30:39I promise we will tighten things up, and we'll replace the signature wall,
00:30:43and make the chairman never hears the words.
00:30:45Idiot!
00:30:45Do you know who he is?
00:30:47He's just some nobody, right?
00:30:50Ms. Jennifer, why?
00:30:53Ms. Jennifer, that is a leech that I kicked out of my house.
00:30:55What else could he be but a deadbeat?
00:30:56Why are you defending him?
00:30:57Yeah, Ms. Jennifer!
00:31:00Nick!
00:31:02And you two, in grace.
00:31:0420 years of embarrassment ends tonight, and I will return it back 100 to 1.
00:31:09Get them out of here.
00:31:10Jennifer, stand down.
00:31:17Are you okay?
00:31:18Yeah, I'm fine.
00:31:20Doctors patched me up.
00:31:21It's nothing serious.
00:31:22I'm so sorry.
00:31:22I should have stepped in sooner.
00:31:23No, this isn't on you.
00:31:25Yeah, she even took his side and slapped Uncle Jamie, Mom, you, me, and Tom.
00:31:29What are they to each other?
00:31:31If Ms. Jennifer's guarding him like this, he's someone we can't afford to cross.
00:31:33We're screwed.
00:31:34Ms. Jennifer, what's your connection with my ex?
00:31:36You don't deserve an answer.
00:31:38What you do get to know is this.
00:31:39You, you, you, all of you.
00:31:41Whoever laid a hand on him, you're getting it back 100-fold tonight.
00:31:46Answer me now.
00:31:47Who did you hit?
00:31:49Emily's useless ex-husband.
00:31:50Who else?
00:31:52A useless man doesn't get Ms. Jennifer's protection.
00:31:55A useless man doesn't just walk into this gala.
00:32:03This model is over a century old.
00:32:06And shattered like this, it's hard to replace.
00:32:10How do you want me to handle them?
00:32:13Merc, what are you doing?
00:32:15Emily, you broke the only thing that my mother left me.
00:32:18Of all the lines you crossed, this one's too far.
00:32:22It's a busted old watch.
00:32:23Big deal.
00:32:24What, are you gonna hit my mom?
00:32:25Yeah, yeah.
00:32:26With all these people here, what can you even do to us?
00:32:29Clueless.
00:32:30Mark, Emily, Emma, Michael.
00:32:33These are the people that you've bled for all these years?
00:32:36I get it now.
00:32:37I see why Ms. Jennifer's teamed up with you and defending you.
00:32:40I see why you've slithered into the gala.
00:32:42You two are shacking up together.
00:32:44Oh!
00:32:45You're aw.
00:32:49Mark, is that it?
00:32:50And you called me a cheater when you were stepping up first?
00:32:52Pop me kettle.
00:32:52I never thought you would stoop so low to...
00:32:55You old man.
00:32:56Acting like a saint and then stabbing my mother in the back.
00:32:59And you acted so wrong during the divorce.
00:33:02Turns out you two are thick as thieves.
00:33:04Gross.
00:33:04You think Ms. Jennifer really got the tingle scheme?
00:33:06Hard to say.
00:33:07Why else go to bat for him?
00:33:08Figures.
00:33:09You're over 30 and still single, picking up my scraps.
00:33:11And for a man like that, you're still willing to put your lips on him.
00:33:16Oh my god.
00:33:21Emily, I'm through putting up with you.
00:33:23Mark, you hit me?
00:33:25And for your little mistress?
00:33:26You two adulterers?
00:33:28Watch your mouth.
00:33:29She's my sister and you don't get to disrespect her.
00:33:32Right, that your so-called Dodd sister?
00:33:35Mark, even if you're pissed, you don't just get to hit people.
00:33:37Mark, we've been married for 20 years and I never once heard of you having a sister.
00:33:40You dare call me a cheater.
00:33:41Looks like you found yourself a rich woman.
00:33:42The divorce really worked out for you, didn't it?
00:33:44Mom, how could you ever fall for a guy like that?
00:33:46Enough!
00:33:47Get them out of here.
00:33:49Don't you dare.
00:33:51Once the gala starts, the chairman will be promoting me to director.
00:33:54At least he said I'm not here.
00:33:55Will you be able to afford that?
00:33:56My mom is getting a promotion from the chairman.
00:33:58Touch us and when she's the director, she will not spare any of you.
00:34:02Good reminder.
00:34:04The chairman asked me to give this to you personally.
00:34:09Mom, congrats!
00:34:10Finally.
00:34:11Mom, don't forget about the house you're gonna get me if you become the director, okay?
00:34:15Open it.
00:34:15Go on.
00:34:22A termination notice?
00:34:25This can't be happening.
00:34:26Mark, this is all you're doing.
00:34:27Emily has busted her tail for years.
00:34:29What right does the chairman have to fire her?
00:34:30Mark, are you just trying to get back at my mom?
00:34:32You brought this on yourselves.
00:34:34Brought it upon ourselves?
00:34:35I don't believe you two.
00:34:36We were told the chairman was gonna be here tonight to present my promotion.
00:34:38Where is he?
00:34:41The chairman doesn't want to see you.
00:34:42I'm betting you drafted the letter on your own.
00:34:44You were afraid my mom as executive director would threaten your position.
00:34:46So, you faked the letter.
00:34:48This is all part of his revenge.
00:34:49Yes, he's teamed up with Miss Jennifer.
00:34:51He swapped the promotion letter.
00:34:52Emily, honey, don't worry.
00:34:53I promise when the chairman gets here, they'll set this straight.
00:34:55You're right.
00:34:56When the chairman gets here, I'll make sure you pay for this.
00:34:58Unbelievable.
00:34:59Emily, Jamie, Tom, inciting a scene, assaulting a guest, disrupting the gala,
00:35:04consider this a formal notice.
00:35:05You're all terminated.
00:35:07You wouldn't dare.
00:35:08Aren't you afraid of what the chairman's gonna do to you?
00:35:10When he gets here, I'm gonna report you for abusing your power.
00:35:12Noisy.
00:35:13Get them out of here.
00:35:13Noisy.
00:35:14No, but no, but I'm a factory golden!
00:35:16No, I'm a factory golden!
00:35:17I'm a factory golden!
00:35:19Mark, are you really sure you don't want me to tell them you're the wealthiest man in Texas?
00:35:22The real chairman?
00:35:23If those gold diggers find out who I really am, they'll never stop hounding me for money.
00:35:27You sure they're gonna let it go?
00:35:29Firing them is just a slap on the wrist.
00:35:30I'll finalize the divorce, and if they don't, I'll handle it myself.
00:35:37Stop right there!
00:35:38Do you know who I am?
00:35:39I am your future executive director.
00:35:40I demand to speak to the chairman.
00:35:42If it's your idea of a big surprise, you said I'd be promoted tonight to director.
00:35:45Is this how you handle things?
00:35:46Emily, this is Mark sabotaging us.
00:35:48This is him sabotaging us, okay?
00:35:50I promise once we see the chairman, he will fix all of this.
00:35:53Trust me, you'll make this right.
00:35:54Trust me.
00:35:55I can't let her think I blew it.
00:35:56I fronted cash for her kids' cards and tuition fees, counting on her promotion to make it back.
00:36:00Double.
00:36:01If she dumps me now, I eat it.
00:36:02No way, I need that marriage.
00:36:04Then, even if we split, I take half.
00:36:06Just her house alone, 50% pays out.
00:36:11Emily!
00:36:12Dad?
00:36:14Have you? Drinking again?
00:36:15You know what tomorrow is?
00:36:16My 70th.
00:36:17I'm telling you, this Christmas, you throw me a proper birthday party.
00:36:20I want it big.
00:36:21Dad, I've been handling your party for years.
00:36:23Do you think it's time that my brother...
00:36:24Hello?
00:36:24Dad?
00:36:27Mom, what did Grandpa want?
00:36:28He wants me to throw him a 70th birthday party.
00:36:30Mom, what?
00:36:30We've been footing the bill for years.
00:36:32It's Uncle's turn.
00:36:32A birthday party?
00:36:35Cuz, think you can let me stay at that estate for a few days?
00:36:37The owner's never around.
00:36:38I'll keep it spotless.
00:36:39Save you the trouble.
00:36:40New Year's is coming.
00:36:41If I host Emily and her kids at the villa, she'll be all mine.
00:36:44Her and her money.
00:36:47Relax, a few days tops.
00:36:49If the big shot turns up, I'm gone.
00:36:50No heat on you.
00:36:51Emily, you can host your dad's party at mine.
00:36:53My place at the Crespi Estate.
00:36:55The Crespi Estate?
00:36:56You are the owner.
00:36:57The Crespi Estate.
00:36:58A place there goes for hundreds of millions.
00:37:00Only the top dogs in Texas can afford to live there.
00:37:02Mom, if Grandpa has his birthday at the swankiest place in the country,
00:37:05he'll be thrilled.
00:37:06And if my friends hear that I'm going to a bash there, they'll die with envy.
00:37:09See, Mom?
00:37:10Uncle Jamie comes through when it really counts.
00:37:12Unlike our deadbeat dad, who just kicks you when you're down.
00:37:14Well, if you don't think it's so much trouble, Jamie.
00:37:17Between us?
00:37:18Don't say trouble.
00:37:25Mark, the divorce is finalized.
00:37:26Do you want to stay at the old house?
00:37:27Let's stay at the Crespi Estate.
00:37:28I used to stay there.
00:37:29I'm used to it.
00:37:38Welcome to my house.
00:37:49This place is insane.
00:37:50Like a palace.
00:37:51Old Jeff's blessed to have a daughter like Emily.
00:37:57Cheers!
00:38:02Happy Selvietad.
00:38:03Happy birthday, Grandpa.
00:38:04Good, good.
00:38:05Happy, happy.
00:38:06Happy birthday, Jeff.
00:38:07Emily tells me this is your villa.
00:38:08It's just a house.
00:38:09Not a big deal.
00:38:10Well, thanks for the venue then.
00:38:11You're miles better than that loser, Mark.
00:38:13Emily's future.
00:38:14I'm counting on you.
00:38:16So, you're my new brother-in-law?
00:38:17I mean, Emily.
00:38:18Look at all of this expensive stuff.
00:38:19I mean, it must have cost a fortune.
00:38:20It's fine.
00:38:21Little money.
00:38:22No, no, don't downplay it.
00:38:22This is some serious money.
00:38:23I mean, you could take anything in here.
00:38:25And my sister's ex, Mark, he couldn't afford it in a hundred years.
00:38:27That's too much.
00:38:31Can you pack this long for this little?
00:38:32Drive a light.
00:38:33A couple changes of clothes.
00:38:34If you need anything, I'll get it there.
00:38:48You guys, I really appreciate you all being here for my dad's birthday.
00:38:51Calm.
00:38:51I want you to help yourselves.
00:38:53Drink up.
00:38:53Eat well.
00:38:54Have fun.
00:38:54Yeah, come on, mama.
00:38:56Yeah, mom.
00:38:57Yeah, mom.
00:38:57Sure, sure, sure.
00:38:58Come on, come on.
00:38:59Yeah.
00:39:01Woo-hoo.
00:39:01Do some music.
00:39:02Yeah, come on, now.
00:39:03Take it down.
00:39:04Go, go, go.
00:39:09I know these new husbands they catch.
00:39:1010,000 times better than that, Mark.
00:39:12He's rich and good to her father.
00:39:13Tell me about it.
00:39:14I'm jealous of Jeff.
00:39:19Don't tell me the owner's back.
00:39:22What's wrong?
00:39:23Why aren't you getting the door?
00:39:23Oh, right.
00:39:25I'm honest.
00:39:33Hi, sir.
00:39:33We're here for the cleaning.
00:39:35Yeah?
00:39:36Hey, the owner sent a crew over to tidy up the Crespi place.
00:39:38Can you keep an eye on them?
00:39:38I'm not coming by.
00:39:39Relax.
00:39:40They just got here.
00:39:40I'll supervise.
00:39:43Perfect timing.
00:39:43We're hosting a birthday party.
00:39:44Once it's over, I want the whole place deep cleaned.
00:39:46That wasn't in the request.
00:39:47There's a party?
00:39:48That's extra.
00:39:49So you're price gouging now.
00:39:50I'll file a complaint.
00:39:51What?
00:39:51Don't just stand there, okay?
00:39:52If you don't want complaints, get moving.
00:39:53What's the plates?
00:39:55Slicing fruit?
00:40:00Who's out the door?
00:40:03Uh, what's this all about?
00:40:05Brought in a cleaning crew.
00:40:06Full service for the party.
00:40:07First time I've had ever service like that.
00:40:09I never knew that coming.
00:40:10Rich people really do it different.
00:40:11Color me jealous.
00:40:12A birthday with a staff helping us out.
00:40:13Already miles better than Mark.
00:40:21Hello?
00:40:22Hey, if you want us working the party, we'll need additional pay.
00:40:24Party?
00:40:25What party?
00:40:27I'm on my way.
00:40:36An 82, Lafitte?
00:40:37I've only seen this on TV.
00:40:39This is once in a lifetime.
00:40:40I've got to try it.
00:40:41Can you just open something that pricey?
00:40:42Jamie, be okay with it?
00:40:43It's a few bottles.
00:40:44If you want it, pour it.
00:40:46For real?
00:40:47It's the old man studying it.
00:40:48Open them all.
00:40:49We're toasting them right.
00:40:50Owner's never here.
00:40:51I'll swap in fakes later and call it a day.
00:40:5461 Chevelle Block?
00:40:55Jamie, this is serious.
00:40:56If he's happy, it's just money.
00:40:58You and Emily should get married soon.
00:41:00You've got my blessing.
00:41:01You have my word.
00:41:02I will treat her right.
00:41:35Give me some of that.
00:41:40What are you doing?
00:41:44Mark?
00:41:46Yeah, it's me.
00:41:47Is that a problem?
00:41:48Yeah, it's my dad's birthday and you're not welcome here.
00:41:50Leave.
00:41:51A birthday party?
00:41:52Who told you that you could host it here?
00:41:53I'm throwing it for her father.
00:41:54Don't need your permission.
00:41:56And you weren't invited.
00:41:56So why crash?
00:41:57Now that isn't my sister's deadbeat ex.
00:41:59What'd you come here?
00:42:00Slip the fancy party.
00:42:00Became by the table scram.
00:42:03Emily, get him out of here.
00:42:04He's an embarrassment.
00:42:07Yeah, I already spun stuff her for years.
00:42:09Never worked.
00:42:11Hey, old man.
00:42:12This is Uncle Jamie's place.
00:42:14You're not wanted.
00:42:16Shoo.
00:42:17Don't just clinging on.
00:42:18Have your neck shake.
00:42:19Hear that?
00:42:20The door is that way.
00:42:21You are the one who's leaving.
00:42:22All of you are leaving.
00:42:24What did you just say?
00:42:25Stop right there.
00:42:26What did you just say?
00:42:30Stop right there.
00:42:33Who said that you could sit?
00:42:34This is Jamie's village.
00:42:34Get out.
00:42:35I'm gonna count to three.
00:42:36And if you're still here when I'm done,
00:42:37you'll pay the consequences.
00:42:49Easy, you okay?
00:42:50I'm fine.
00:42:51It's just your vase.
00:42:53It's a vase.
00:42:54You matter more.
00:42:56Dad, are you here just to wreck Uncle Jamie's place?
00:42:59I'm gonna ask you one more time.
00:43:01Who gave you the permission to host a party here?
00:43:04Mark, are you insane?
00:43:05We still haven't gone over your little stunt at the gala,
00:43:07and now you're here trying to ruin my dad's birthday too?
00:43:09Uncle Jamie, call the police.
00:43:11Charge him with trespassing.
00:43:14Great.
00:43:15Sure, call him.
00:43:19I'd love to see who they're gonna haul out.
00:43:20Mark, just go.
00:43:22Don't make this uglier.
00:43:24Get out?
00:43:25You know, Jamie, you keep saying that this villa is yours.
00:43:27You have any proof?
00:43:29I don't owe you an explanation.
00:43:30You're acting like a clown.
00:43:32Where is my property manager?
00:43:35Yeah.
00:43:36Why is my villa full of trash?
00:43:38Sir, what trash?
00:43:38I tidy up every day.
00:43:39I don't care where you are.
00:43:41If you don't get here in five minutes, don't bother coming back.
00:43:46Did I just hear that right?
00:43:47Did he just say...
00:43:49His villa?
00:43:51His villa?
00:43:55Oh, please.
00:43:56This is Uncle Jamie's place.
00:43:57He really is committing to the ban.
00:44:00Mark, what is it?
00:44:01Did you get a sugar mama and now suddenly you own every property in the world?
00:44:05You know, out of respect for your dad's birthday.
00:44:08If you leave now, I'll let the damages slide.
00:44:12Let it slide?
00:44:13What, you think I didn't just hear you call us all trash on the phone?
00:44:19That vase is worth 20 million.
00:44:21You can't afford to break it.
00:44:22If I were you, I'd put it down.
00:44:25Oh, now you're threatening me.
00:44:27Now, everything in this house belongs to my brother-in-law, Jamie.
00:44:29And if I break this, he's not going to charge me a dime.
00:44:37Sorry, Jamie.
00:44:38I'm okay to wait.
00:44:41It's not your fault.
00:44:42He goaded you first.
00:44:44Well, that's it.
00:44:45Congratulations.
00:44:45That was your last chance.
00:44:47Now, whatever happens, that's on you.
00:44:55Sir, I'm late.
00:44:56I am so sorry.
00:44:59Did he just call him sir?
00:45:01Hunter, right?
00:45:02Decades ago, I put you in charge of this place.
00:45:03They will take a look around.
00:45:06This happened on your watch.
00:45:07Yeah, I'm sorry, sir.
00:45:08It is all my fault.
00:45:09All my fault.
00:45:10Get them out.
00:45:11And then you put the villa back exactly the way it was.
00:45:13Any damages?
00:45:14And they pay for it.
00:45:16Full price.
00:45:18Wait, did I hear that right?
00:45:20Did he just say that it's his villa?
00:45:23It is dad's.
00:45:24He was telling the truth this whole time.
00:45:27He was telling the truth this whole time.
00:45:29Jamie, you said you were just going to stay a couple of days.
00:45:31When did this turn into a party?
00:45:33You're going to get me killed.
00:45:35You lied to us.
00:45:37I must have been blind.
00:45:38I was about to marry.
00:45:39I'm going to leave after you.
00:45:41We thought you owned this place.
00:45:42You're just a fraud.
00:45:46What's on your wrist?
00:45:50Um, yeah, I'm so sorry sir.
00:45:51This is your watch.
00:45:52I should have taken this.
00:45:52I'm so sorry.
00:45:57I'm sorry.
00:45:58Okay, I'm sorry.
00:45:59All right.
00:46:00Get out.
00:46:00Now.
00:46:06Priest.
00:46:09No one said you could go.
00:46:13Mark.
00:46:14We got out of line.
00:46:15I'm so sorry, so sorry.
00:46:16I trashed your house.
00:46:17I know, but don't.
00:46:18Don't.
00:46:18I already gave you a chance.
00:46:19We saw what happened with that.
00:46:20Jamie Kondas.
00:46:21This is his fault.
00:46:22Too late.
00:46:24That vase?
00:46:2520 million.
00:46:26Those bottles?
00:46:2780 million total.
00:46:29You trespassed and trashed my house.
00:46:31And you are going to pay every single penny.
00:46:34Now Mark, buddy, we already apologized earlier.
00:46:37Oh, please.
00:46:37Spare me the familiarity.
00:46:38We aren't that close, Jeff.
00:46:39What?
00:46:39Besides, an apology doesn't cover the bill.
00:46:42Oh, and if you try to skip out, I'll see you in court.
00:46:44But Jamie made us open it.
00:46:45This is on him.
00:46:46Make him pay.
00:46:47So what if this dump's really yours?
00:46:48Jennifer still bought it for you.
00:46:50You're still a freeloader.
00:46:51Drop the act.
00:46:51You don't deserve an explanation.
00:46:53Boys.
00:46:57Take this trash out.
00:47:10Dad, those things are worth tens of millions of dollars.
00:47:12I couldn't pay for that, even if I sold myself.
00:47:14Make your sister pay for it.
00:47:15This is all on them.
00:47:18So it was his place.
00:47:20If you hadn't divorced him, it would have been ours.
00:47:22Didn't think Mark could milk Jennifer for that kind of money.
00:47:24Emily, let me explain.
00:47:26I am so disappointed in you, Jamie.
00:47:28Let's go.
00:47:35Baby, baby, please.
00:47:38Come on.
00:47:38Hey, wait, wait, wait, please.
00:47:41Come on.
00:47:42Hey, there's no way.
00:47:44Jennifer obviously got that place for him.
00:47:45Okay, he's been cheating for years.
00:47:46How could a dead be afforded a place like that?
00:47:48Mom, Uncle Jamie's right.
00:47:49I mean, all these years and dad's never mentioned a villa.
00:47:51He's obviously latched on to that ritual.
00:47:52I mean, why else would he keep this from us?
00:47:54But Uncle Jamie's light a lot.
00:47:56What if it's possible?
00:47:57Emily, you're doubting me to?
00:47:59Everything I've done today.
00:48:00Wasn't it to give your father a proper 70 if he wanted so badly?
00:48:03I bought Michael a car, the best car.
00:48:05I donated that building for Emma so she could get her college offer.
00:48:08She talks about it all the time.
00:48:09Emily, think about everything I've done.
00:48:11Everything we've had all these years, okay?
00:48:13Can't you see what today is?
00:48:14It's Mark.
00:48:15He's trying to get back at us, okay?
00:48:16If he hadn't shown up early, would your dad's party have crashed and burned?
00:48:19If he didn't pick a fight, would those antiques be on the floor?
00:48:21It's his fault, please.
00:48:23He's punishing us, okay?
00:48:25He's punishing us because we kicked him out with nothing and he's punishing you.
00:48:28He's doing this to get back at you for threatening Jennifer's position.
00:48:31He's sick.
00:48:31He's deranged.
00:48:33Since you divorced dad, I mean, he's only come around just to mess with us.
00:48:36If you're going to tell me that that's not on purpose, I'm not buying it.
00:48:38Jamie's right.
00:48:39He's been helping you for so long.
00:48:40He has no reason to screw me over.
00:48:41If I weren't angling to marry you and pay off my debts with your money,
00:48:45I'd never grovel to an older woman like this.
00:48:47Okay, then what should we do, Jamie?
00:48:49We hit back.
00:48:50We make Jennifer stumble at work.
00:48:51We make her lose her job at the plant.
00:48:53We take out Mark's backing and we get our pay back in one shot.
00:48:56Ow.
00:49:01Mom!
00:49:02We can't do that!
00:49:07Mom!
00:49:07You can't do that!
00:49:08You'll ruin dad!
00:49:09He could end up in prison!
00:49:10Yeah, he's still our dad.
00:49:12Okay, that's too far.
00:49:13Mom!
00:49:14What if dad was telling the truth?
00:49:15What if he really has money?
00:49:16I mean, he's never really lied to us.
00:49:18Uncle Jamie has, over and over.
00:49:20Mom, please, just be reasonable.
00:49:25You uncreepable brat!
00:49:26He ran away with another woman and you're still defending him?
00:49:29Let's go!
00:49:29Don't!
00:49:30Mom!
00:49:33Michael!
00:49:35Michael!
00:49:38Keep an eye on your sister.
00:49:40Don't let her ruin our plan.
00:49:42Relax, babe.
00:49:43This time, we're sending Mark's streets to hell.
00:49:50Michael, let me out!
00:49:52Open the door!
00:49:54Michael!
00:50:06Oh, look at that!
00:50:07Oh, that's amazing!
00:50:09Outstanding job!
00:50:10Oh, you know, you are my light and joy.
00:50:14We gotta put this up on the refrigerator.
00:50:16I can't believe dad kept this all these years.
00:50:28There you go.
00:50:29This is daddy's special suit for my special goal.
00:50:32We're getting 100 on our latest quiz.
00:50:33You're so amazing.
00:50:36Daddy, when I grow up, I'm gonna buy the newest shiny shoes.
00:50:40That's so sweet.
00:50:41I'll tell you what, when you grow up, I will only wear the shoes that you buy me.
00:50:48Oh, Emma, you're home.
00:50:49Ooh, is that for me?
00:50:51Don't touch it.
00:50:52It's for Uncle Jamie.
00:50:55I promised I'd buy him a pair.
00:50:57How could I forget?
00:51:20It's your birthday, did you forget?
00:51:22What?
00:51:22No way I didn't forget your birthday.
00:51:24In fact, I was out getting you a husband.
00:51:26Take a look.
00:51:30Hey, I promise when you get older, I'm gonna have a surprise so big, it's gonna knock you over.
00:51:35Okay?
00:51:42And the pin is 12-12, me and Michael's birthday.
00:51:46Dad didn't lie to me.
00:51:47He never did.
00:51:55Oh, no, no!
00:52:04Open the door!
00:52:05We have to help Dad!
00:52:11Mark, it's your first day back running the company.
00:52:13Come down with me.
00:52:14Let everyone meet your...
00:52:15No need.
00:52:16It's better off to maintain a low profile.
00:52:17A low profile for what?
00:52:19Nobody knew you at the company gala, and that is why you got hurt.
00:52:22That means, Ms. Jennifer, there's trouble at the plant.
00:52:24Okay, slow down.
00:52:24What's happening?
00:52:25Mass walkout.
00:52:26Tons of workers.
00:52:26They're saying we're behind on the wages.
00:52:28It's chaos over there.
00:52:29And at this rate, there's no way that we'll deliver those multi-million orders on time.
00:52:32Ms. Jennifer, you need to come now.
00:52:33What did you say?
00:52:45What's happening?
00:52:45Where did everyone go?
00:52:48Ms. Jennifer, she's here.
00:52:50Everyone, please, calm down.
00:52:51Calm down?
00:52:52How are we supposed to calm down when your whole workforce just walked out?
00:52:55How are you delivering our orders on time?
00:52:56I am canceling.
00:52:57Yes, cancel.
00:52:58And we want damages for brick of contract.
00:53:00Yes, damages.
00:53:00You have to pay.
00:53:01We need the money right now.
00:53:03We need the money right now.
00:53:05You have to pay.
00:53:06Just listen.
00:53:07Come on.
00:53:07Just calm down.
00:53:08Hey, stop.
00:53:10Who's in charge here?
00:53:11I'm the chief executive officer of this plant.
00:53:13You can speak with me.
00:53:14We received a complaint that you're behind on wages and the workers have walked out.
00:53:16Is that true?
00:53:17No, there's been a misunderstanding.
00:53:18Please just give me some time and I'll have this resolved.
00:53:19You have to resolve the issue immediately or the plant will be shut down for corrective action.
00:53:23She has to pass first.
00:53:24Now.
00:53:24Just give me 24 hours and I will get you a proper answer.
00:53:27You have my word.
00:53:28This has Jamie's fingerprints all over it.
00:53:30I'll have some working in.
00:53:32Hey, call the management team.
00:53:33See what they have to say.
00:53:38No one.
00:53:40No one.
00:53:43You won't get through.
00:53:45Jamie, of course it's you stirring things up again.
00:53:47What are you trying to pull?
00:53:47What am I trying to pull?
00:53:52Come on out.
00:54:03It's bad enough you're lying about unpaid wages, but now you're striking.
00:54:06If these orders don't get fulfilled, are you going to pay the penalties?
00:54:09Ms. Jennifer, we really haven't been paid.
00:54:13Jamie?
00:54:14What did you do?
00:54:15What did I do?
00:54:17I'm being framed here.
00:54:18You can't just accuse an innocent man, Ms. Jennifer.
00:54:20An honest man?
00:54:22You're the one who runs the payroll.
00:54:23You're in charge of the wages.
00:54:25Careful.
00:54:25I'll catch you red handed.
00:54:26Please, don't threaten us.
00:54:28If the chairman finds out that the workers walked out, the only one getting the hammer will be you,
00:54:31Ms. Jennifer.
00:54:32Are you really going to wave the chairman at me?
00:54:33Do you actually want the chairman to find out what you've been up to?
00:54:35At the annual gala, you pretended to speak for him when you fired me and Jamie.
00:54:38I'm sure he doesn't know about it.
00:54:39I'm tired of wasting my breath.
00:54:41Jamie, I will ask you one last time.
00:54:44Did you move company funds into your account?
00:54:46So I don't know what you are talking about, okay?
00:54:49You had us both fired at the gala, remember?
00:54:51Okay?
00:54:51How would I be handling payroll?
00:54:54It seems to me you've been skimming funds off the top just to keep this old man, Mark, on the
00:54:58side.
00:54:59Quit spewing lies!
00:55:03Quit spewing lies!
00:55:05Spewing lies?
00:55:05Sounds like you've done it, but you just won't own up to it!
00:55:07Everyone hold the line!
00:55:08Make the wage chief pay!
00:55:09Make them pay!
00:55:11Make them pay!
00:55:11Make them pay!
00:55:12Make them pay!
00:55:13Make them pay!
00:55:14Jamie, you diverted the funds,
00:55:15and you're framing us.
00:55:16Framing you?
00:55:17No, I'm exposing the truth.
00:55:19Look, if Miss Jennifer hasn't been siphoning the wages,
00:55:21how has this acting CEO been able to afford buying this old man a billion dollar villa?
00:55:26Maybe, because he bought it himself.
00:55:29He's been a leech of a house husband for the last decade.
00:55:32Where would he get the money to buy a mansion?
00:55:33Exactly, exactly.
00:55:35This old husband can't even afford a car.
00:55:36Emily, because you're the mother of our children,
00:55:38I'm going to give you one last chance.
00:55:39Tell the truth publicly, and I'll let you walk.
00:55:42Let me walk?
00:55:43You're the one who should be begging for forgiveness.
00:55:45Still unrepentant?
00:55:46Figures.
00:55:47Just so you know, Jennifer just called the sheriff.
00:55:50All right, folks, listen to me, please.
00:55:51Call off the strike, go back to work.
00:55:53We will look into where your wages went,
00:55:55and I promise you, everyone will get paid tonight.
00:55:57You really think you'll find something?
00:55:58I made a transfer into your account.
00:56:00When the sheriff gets here, the only one going to jail is you.
00:56:04You people really trust this guy?
00:56:06Yeah, why would they?
00:56:06We just heard it.
00:56:07He's Miss Jennifer's kept man.
00:56:08He's deemed our pay.
00:56:09He should be arrested and pay us back.
00:56:18Let's see you talk your way out of this one.
00:56:20Oh, gosh.
00:56:21How the mighty have fallen.
00:56:22So what are you going to do?
00:56:25Oh, cat's got your tongue.
00:56:26You can't even afford a cat.
00:56:31Sir, I sincerely apologize for the mix-up.
00:56:34This is the richest man in Texas.
00:56:38This is the richest man in Texas.
00:56:40What did he just say?
00:56:42I must have heard.
00:56:44Hear me out.
00:56:45I'm the richest man in Texas.
00:56:47I don't need to skim your wages.
00:56:50Mark, you really are the richest man in Texas?
00:56:53No, wait.
00:56:55Sir, based on the complaint that you filed, we initiated an investigation.
00:56:58And we've learned Genie is the one moving company funds.
00:57:03You've been watching me?
00:57:04You knew?
00:57:05That's right.
00:57:07Dad, we're sorry.
00:57:10We're so, so sorry.
00:57:12We know everything now.
00:57:14Stand up.
00:57:15Come on.
00:57:18That's okay.
00:57:19Hey, hey.
00:57:20No more crying, okay?
00:57:21No more tears.
00:57:22I forgive you.
00:57:23Dad, there's something you need to know.
00:57:26Mom and Jamie are trying to set you up.
00:57:29If Mr. Mark is the richest man in Texas, why would he need to steal our pay?
00:57:32Are we being used?
00:57:33Jamie's been skimming our wages?
00:57:35Jamie, you better explain this.
00:57:36Jamie, you two-faced rat!
00:57:37Get back!
00:57:38No, I did that!
00:57:39Get back!
00:57:41Get back!
00:57:41Get back!
00:57:42Get back!
00:57:43Get back!
00:57:45Get back!
00:57:45Get back!
00:57:46Stop!
00:57:46No!
00:57:46Stop!
00:57:47Go!
00:57:48Go!
00:57:48Go!
00:57:48Go!
00:57:49Get mine!
00:57:50Okay, I spent it all on her.
00:57:54Jamie, you told me that Jennifer owed wages and all we had to do was stir up a strike.
00:57:57Turns out you were the one that averted the cash.
00:57:59You lied to me again.
00:58:00You spent the money I sold to.
00:58:02Okay, we're all tied to the same rope.
00:58:03So if I go down, we all go down.
00:58:05Pay it back!
00:58:06Pay it back!
00:58:07Pay it back!
00:58:07Pay it back!
00:58:07Get back!
00:58:08Get back!
00:58:09Stop.
00:58:10I told you.
00:58:11You'll get your wages.
00:58:15Mr. Chairman, what you asked for is ready.
00:58:21No fucking way.
00:58:22You really are the chairman?
00:58:23But all those years, you were just a useless freeloader.
00:58:27Watch your mouth.
00:58:28Jamie, you're under investigation for embezzling company funds.
00:58:31You're coming with us.
00:58:33You didn't do anything!
00:58:34You can't arrest me!
00:58:35No!
00:58:36No!
00:58:39What about her?
00:58:41Merc, please!
00:58:42Jamie tricked me too!
00:58:42This isn't on me!
00:58:47Get her out of here.
00:58:50No!
00:58:50No!
00:58:50No!
00:58:51This can't be real!
00:58:51This isn't happening!
00:58:52No!
00:58:52Emily.
00:58:54Everything you ever had, you just threw away.
00:58:55You brought this on yourself.
00:58:56Oh, save it!
00:58:57I know what's happening.
00:58:59They're all actors.
00:59:01You just hired him to make him look good.
00:59:02Still dodging reality?
00:59:03Go check out the company website.
00:59:04See who's listed as chairman of Lone Star Petrochem.
00:59:06I told you so many times, and you never had the guts to look.
00:59:08You can't fool me.
00:59:09He is not the chairman.
00:59:10He's a parasite that lived him by over 20 years.
00:59:12He's trash.
00:59:13I can throw him out whenever I want to.
00:59:14Mom, please wake up.
00:59:16Dad runs the company.
00:59:17He is the chairman.
00:59:26It's just a coincidence!
00:59:27No!
00:59:27Mom!
00:59:28You can't trick me!
00:59:30You honestly believe you built all of this on your own?
00:59:32Shut up, shut up, shut up, shut up!
00:59:35Everything you had, you just burned right to the ground.
00:59:38Emily.
00:59:40Is that my brother advocating for you?
00:59:41How do you think a high school grad with absolutely no experience even got into this company?
00:59:45Let alone became plant supervisor?
00:59:48This is possible.
00:59:49You started October 19th, 2001.
00:59:51And by the 25th, you landed Redwood Industries and became top salesperson.
00:59:54On November 18th, baby booth asked for you by name.
00:59:58That December, a sales supervisor site just happened to open and you just happened to meet every
01:00:02requirement.
01:00:03You really think you did that all by yourself?
01:00:05Without my brother advocating for you?
01:00:06Emily, you're nothing!
01:00:08Mr. Musk, it was a pleasure doing business.
01:00:09Pleasure's all mine, Miss Emily.
01:00:10If you need anything, just ask.
01:00:11Thank you so much.
01:00:20For your request, the account has been awarded to Miss Emily.
01:00:23Loot Enterprises is counting under continued support.
01:00:27No, no, you're lying, Debra, you're lying!
01:00:29I did it all on my own!
01:00:30It wasn't Mark, it's not only with me!
01:00:31No, no, no, no!
01:00:32That's enough!
01:00:33No, no, no!
01:00:42No!
01:00:43Dad runs the company, he is the chairman!
01:00:45Impossible!
01:00:45You honestly believe you built all of this on your own?
01:00:47I made my own way.
01:00:48Is that my brother behind you?
01:00:49And you're nothing!
01:00:50It wasn't Mark, it wasn't...
01:00:53Red's diary.
01:00:54Did he really give me everything I have?
01:00:59Winter, December 8th, 1998.
01:01:01I met the woman I want to spend my life with, Emily.
01:01:04Simple name, perfect fit.
01:01:05Like dew on spring petals.
01:01:07She's just as lovely.
01:01:091999, Emily fell seriously ill.
01:01:11Her family gave up on her.
01:01:13Left her alone in the hospital.
01:01:14She told me to go away.
01:01:15My sister told me to go.
01:01:17How could I leave her to suffer?
01:01:18In my heart, she was already my wife.
01:01:20I wanted to tell her not to be afraid.
01:01:22That I owned a factory and could take care of her.
01:01:24Don't worry.
01:01:24Don't worry about the cost.
01:01:25I'll take care of everything that costs.
01:01:26But she said she was a burden.
01:01:28Unworthy of me.
01:01:29I'm just a burden.
01:01:30Not a lot of time left.
01:01:31I deserve better.
01:01:31No, don't you say that.
01:01:32So I kept my real identity from her.
01:01:34I was afraid if she truly knew the distance between us,
01:01:36she'd push me away.
01:01:39July 2000.
01:01:40Emily recovered.
01:01:41We got married.
01:01:42The best day.
01:01:42I married the love of my life.
01:01:44She's ambitious.
01:01:45Dreams of standing on her own.
01:01:46So I kept my identity hidden.
01:01:47Got her into the company.
01:01:48Helped her rise step by step.
01:01:50My sister says I'm a fool giving up a chairman's title to be a house husband.
01:01:53She doesn't understand.
01:01:54One man's poison is another man's honey.
01:01:57I love Emily.
01:01:59Gladly, I'll care for her and give her the best of everything.
01:02:01In this life and the next.
01:02:03I will not fail her.
01:02:05You are my wife till death do us part.
01:02:08I'm always going to be yours.
01:02:10That is.
01:02:17I forgot her promise.
01:02:18I failed him.
01:02:20I failed him.
01:02:23I have to find him.
01:02:31Mark, please.
01:02:32I'm so sorry.
01:02:33Forgive me.
01:02:35Oh, she must have done something awful to her husband.
01:02:36Now she's here begging forgiveness.
01:02:38She probably ran around and finally figured out who actually cared.
01:02:42Serve, serve, right?
01:02:44She's never thought about that before.
01:02:45Oh my god.
01:02:50She's been on her knees for six hours.
01:02:51You're really not going to go down there?
01:02:52Mark, I'm not leaving until you calm down.
01:02:59She made her choices.
01:03:00I don't have anything to do with her now.
01:03:01I don't have anything to do with her.
01:03:20She's awake.
01:03:21Mom, what happened?
01:03:23Is your father here?
01:03:24Did you forgive me?
01:03:24I need to see him.
01:03:26The doctor said the cancer's back.
01:03:28Spread.
01:03:28It's late stage.
01:03:31Here, I'll get some food, okay?
01:03:55Mark, I'm so sorry.
01:03:57I was wrong.
01:03:58I was wrong.
01:04:00I don't, I don't get it.
01:04:01Usually when people get this sick, their family fills the room.
01:04:03How come no one's going to visit her?
01:04:05Haven't you seen the video?
01:04:06She cheated on her husband, then went to his company to beg for him back.
01:04:09He didn't come out of his office to see her.
01:04:12Hey, watch it.
01:04:13If you keep talking like that, I'll file a complaint.
01:04:22Mom, why do you do this to yourself?
01:04:27God.
01:04:35This one here, I think this is perfect.
01:04:37That, I love me too, we could completely do that.
01:04:40Come in.
01:04:41This is amazing though.
01:04:42I think we should definitely do it.
01:04:45Emma.
01:04:50God.
01:04:51Please.
01:04:53Go see them all.
01:05:00Lunch.
01:05:00You're here.
01:05:01Don't get up.
01:05:02I, um, I told Emma to stop by and see her.
01:05:07I gotta go.
01:05:10Do you remember how every winter you would get macadamia nuts from that store on the east side?
01:05:15I hated the shelves that you would crack every past one of them.
01:05:23I misjudged people.
01:05:25I forgot our vows and I failed your love.
01:05:27I regret it.
01:05:28I regret all of it.
01:05:30I brought this on myself.
01:05:33If I could beg you one thing, please.
01:05:37Forgive me.
01:05:41Do you remember the broken mirror?
01:05:48Tonight you threw me out.
01:05:49Get out!
01:05:52Some things don't go back together.
01:05:55Yesterday's gone.
01:06:00We can't go back.
01:06:12When my mom saw that bag of macadamias, she knew there would never again be someone buying them for her.
01:06:16She had lost the man who once loved her like treasure.
01:06:37But that's actually Woah.
01:06:37I was Sorry.
01:06:38I was están so glad to get her.
01:06:38I was just so Picard from Mark Neff.
01:06:42I'll carry this house.
01:06:42Well, I wonder my children a gracious boy is here for you, but I asked the autumn days to be
01:06:42friends and like my cat.
01:06:42This is a long time for Christmas.
