00:11:48Around here?
00:11:50Okay, I mean, I just need a place to hang out for a minute.
00:11:53Uh, there's a community center up the road.
00:11:57Mm-hmm. Great.
00:12:00Sorry, my dad's always late.
00:12:02Mom says he'll be late to his funeral.
00:12:05That's okay.
00:12:06It's probably the highlight of my evening.
00:12:08Cool.
00:12:10Do you want to shoot some hoops?
00:12:13Let's see what you got.
00:12:18Is this the community center?
00:12:19Yep.
00:12:24Great.
00:12:26Thanks, man.
00:12:37Hey, Mom.
00:12:41This is crazy, man.
00:12:50Why do you make my life more difficult?
00:12:53Change plans.
00:12:56Take a shot.
00:12:57Let's see.
00:13:01Whoa, that was so good.
00:13:04So, do you know if your uncle's going with a Christmas ball?
00:13:07I don't know.
00:13:08Just hope he doesn't come here.
00:13:10How come?
00:13:11Because he made you sad.
00:13:14So, wait.
00:13:15Do you want to get back together?
00:13:18It's complicated.
00:13:20You shouldn't.
00:13:20You can do better.
00:13:23I don't know if he's going with a Christmas ball.
00:13:23That's what my mom said.
00:13:27That's what your mom said.
00:13:29Yeah, but I'm pretty sure I wasn't supposed to hear it.
00:13:32Well, what else did she say that you weren't supposed to hear, huh?
00:13:38Listen.
00:13:39You don't have to be mad at your uncle, okay?
00:13:42Breakups are hard, and it's a loss, so we mourn a little bit.
00:13:45But I'm sure it wasn't easy for him, either.
00:13:50Hello.
00:13:52Andrew.
00:13:54We were just talking about you.
00:13:56Are you here to pick up Zoe?
00:13:58Yeah, Trev's going to work late again tonight.
00:14:00Hey, could we talk?
00:14:02Sure.
00:14:03Yeah.
00:14:04You go, buddy.
00:14:12How's the showcase coming along?
00:14:14It's a work in progress.
00:14:16Can't see much yet, but...
00:14:19How was New York?
00:14:21That's actually what I wanted to talk to you about.
00:14:24Uh, I wanted to let you know that...
00:14:27We're engaged!
00:14:31I'm Megan.
00:14:32You must be Georgia.
00:14:35Wow!
00:14:37It's so big!
00:14:40Congratulations.
00:14:41I know it's all a little fast.
00:14:43I hope that you're okay.
00:14:45Oh, yeah.
00:14:46Yeah, I'm fine.
00:14:49Well, come on, Zoe.
00:14:50My name is Zoe.
00:14:52My bad.
00:14:53Sorry.
00:14:55Anyways, we do have to get going.
00:14:56We have so much to do!
00:14:58Andrew here got us tickets to the nightly ball,
00:15:00and I need a new gown.
00:15:01Plus, we're also going back to New York City for New Year's,
00:15:04so it's just busy, busy, busy.
00:15:06And what about you?
00:15:07Do you have any plans?
00:15:09Andrew said that you prefer to stay here for New Year's?
00:15:13Yeah.
00:15:14Yeah.
00:15:15Well, yeah.
00:15:18Well, that's okay, too.
00:15:20Hey.
00:15:21Sorry for taking so long.
00:15:23Hey, Zoe.
00:15:23How are you?
00:15:24Okay.
00:15:25I was working on the details of our New Year's trip to Paris.
00:15:30Oh, hey.
00:15:31Chase Knightley, how are you?
00:15:34Yeah.
00:15:36Oh, she's just surprised I found a time to get away.
00:15:39All right, so, um, plane's fueled up.
00:15:41Ready to go?
00:15:42Okay.
00:15:43We have an appointment with Stella McCartney.
00:15:45She's designing a gown just for Georgia.
00:15:48Smile for the camera.
00:15:50All right, got her arms.
00:15:52Everyone wants her picture.
00:15:52All right, ciao.
00:15:59She's dating?
00:16:00Chase Knightley?
00:16:01Only three weeks after we broke up.
00:16:20Leave you alone for three minutes.
00:16:31Come on.
00:16:34In here.
00:16:40This way.
00:16:41Okay, what is going on?
00:16:53There, there, there.
00:17:07I think they're gone, honey.
00:17:09They don't give up that easy.
00:17:17Can I see your phone for a sec?
00:17:19What?
00:17:20No.
00:17:22I just want to send a text.
00:17:25It'll help us get out of here quicker.
00:17:35What's this room called?
00:17:37Activity room.
00:17:40Cool.
00:17:45Oh, wow, that was fast.
00:17:49What was?
00:17:53Chase's new girlfriend?
00:17:55You're welcome.
00:17:56I think you won this breakup.
00:17:58What?
00:17:59Did you see the look on his face?
00:18:01His new girlfriend wishes she was you.
00:18:04Full of yourself much?
00:18:05I'm sure she couldn't care less.
00:18:13She does custom.
00:18:15Maybe I should do custom.
00:18:18Hey, wouldn't it be great if Stella McCartney designed me a custom gown?
00:18:22Oh, my gosh.
00:18:24Wouldn't it be amazing if Chase Knightley came to our wedding?
00:18:36I don't want anyone thinking I'm your girlfriend.
00:18:40Why not?
00:18:42It'll elevate your status in the world, even if it's temporary.
00:18:46You're even more egotistical than I thought in that saying a lot.
00:18:50I'm just being realistic.
00:18:52You might actually benefit from this most charade.
00:18:55More like the other way around.
00:18:58Okay.
00:18:59Says the woman working in a rundown nothing of a community center.
00:19:06Where are you going?
00:19:07I just realized.
00:19:09I don't need to hide.
00:19:11They're after you.
00:19:12No, wait, sorry.
00:19:13That was a dumb thing to say.
00:19:14I was being a jerk.
00:19:15Sorry.
00:19:17What do you want from me?
00:19:20I honestly just like to help.
00:19:22I don't like the way they're treating you.
00:19:24But it was wrong.
00:19:27And, um...
00:19:29I'm sorry.
00:19:29Once I get my phone back, I'll fix all this.
00:19:32I'm...
00:19:33Probably right, actually.
00:19:34My father and the entire murder team were probably breathing a sigh of relief at the idea of us dating.
00:19:40Guess I'll just have to disappoint him again.
00:19:44Sorry, I guess?
00:19:46Yeah, whatever.
00:19:50You know what?
00:19:51I may have a proposition.
00:19:54What kind of proposition?
00:19:56Lucrative kind.
00:19:57Or I'd pay you to be my girlfriend until Christmas.
00:20:01No beef?
00:20:01Yeah.
00:20:08Well, it took you long enough.
00:20:09Oh, there you are.
00:20:10Sorry, I was cleaning up one of your previous messes.
00:20:13I didn't know I needed to clean up another one.
00:20:14Are they gone?
00:20:14Yes, I told them you got into a cab.
00:20:17Also, there's a woman downstairs who says that you're both invited to her wedding.
00:20:20Who is he?
00:20:21I am Braden Winthrop, the personal executive assistant of Mr. Chase Knightley.
00:20:26George Jackson, school teacher.
00:20:28Pleasure.
00:20:28Although I'm still not 100% sure why the internet believes that you are his girlfriend.
00:20:32Hmm.
00:20:35It's just a silly game.
00:20:37That's usually where I start to get worried.
00:20:39You're the one that said I needed an image makeover.
00:20:43Voila.
00:20:45Yeah, that's not at all what I meant.
00:20:49But you're right.
00:20:50She's perfect.
00:20:50Okay, she is standing right here and would very much like to understand what is going on.
00:20:55Allow me.
00:20:55Mr. Knightley doesn't exactly have the best reputation.
00:21:00You, on the other hand, are a beloved girl-next-door elementary school teacher.
00:21:05Mr. Knightley would like to borrow that belovedness in exchange for a healthy compensation package
00:21:12just until a merger goes through.
00:21:14Exactly.
00:21:15Oh, you want to buy your way out of a problem.
00:21:19Figures.
00:21:19But even if I did agree to this, no one would believe it.
00:21:22Ah, the internet, in its infinite wisdom, already believes it.
00:21:26And what about my family and friends?
00:21:28Just tell them you were waiting for the right time.
00:21:30Trust me, there would be no right time for this.
00:21:33Georgia.
00:21:36Please.
00:21:38I can pay you more money than you make in a year.
00:21:41You really are something.
00:21:42You think you can just buy everything.
00:21:45Well, not me.
00:21:46You couldn't pay me enough.
00:21:48Tommy, throw a number at me.
00:21:53A new community center.
00:21:56What?
00:21:56I want you and your family to donate the cost of building us a new rec center.
00:22:00Something you should have done a long time ago with all the money you have.
00:22:04This one is apparently run down.
00:22:08Pretty run down.
00:22:12Deal.
00:22:13What?
00:22:14Mm-hmm.
00:22:14Seriously?
00:22:15Yeah.
00:22:16So you'll do it?
00:22:20Fine.
00:22:21I will pretend to date you, and you build us a new community center.
00:22:25After Christmas, this is done.
00:22:28Perfect.
00:22:31Perfect.
00:22:32Right?
00:22:35This day just keeps getting better.
00:22:40I can't believe I'm doing this.
00:22:42Doing what?
00:22:43Uh, Miss Jackson was just saying she's feeling a little bit overwhelmed with all of the Christmas
00:22:48activities she's taking on.
00:22:50Now, why don't I believe that?
00:22:53Because you might hate Christmas.
00:22:55Are you sure you want to be part of the charade?
00:22:57Charade?
00:22:58What an ugly word to use, Randall.
00:23:01Okay?
00:23:01We're just trying to keep a relationship under wraps until tonight.
00:23:04Why?
00:23:05What's tonight?
00:23:05He, uh, he's meeting her parents.
00:23:09Uh, excuse us.
00:23:12Something fishy.
00:23:14I'm gonna prove it.
00:23:15Good.
00:23:16You go ahead and prove it.
00:23:19Good seeing you again, Randall.
00:23:21New lens?
00:23:22Makes you look slimmer.
00:23:23Funny guy.
00:23:26Funny guy!
00:23:28What is that?
00:23:29A new briefcase?
00:23:33Tell me your parents live here.
00:23:36Okay, this is crazy.
00:23:37Could you please stop the car?
00:23:39I'm grateful for parents.
00:23:42Tell her.
00:23:42Did you really want me to answer that?
00:23:44Okay, enough.
00:23:45Both of you.
00:23:45Seriously.
00:23:46Could you stop the car, please?
00:23:51This is not going to work.
00:23:53I've never lied to them before.
00:23:55They'll know.
00:23:56What if we took them to Paris for dinner?
00:23:58You really do live in a different world.
00:24:01If we're going to do this and convince anyone that I'd actually go out with you,
00:24:04then we need to do normal things.
00:24:08What are normal things?
00:24:11Chestnuts, eggnog, Secret Santa, any of that ring a bell?
00:24:15Besides, I have to help with the Christmas showcase.
00:24:17You can too, for a week.
00:24:19Pretend you are an average person who doesn't fly to Europe to have dinner.
00:24:23I don't see why we can't do both.
00:24:26Okay, this is over.
00:24:27Okay, fine, fine, fine.
00:24:28Do it your way.
00:24:30Then we can't show up in this car.
00:24:33Why?
00:24:33What's wrong with this car?
00:24:45Should we have called?
00:24:47Brought food or something?
00:24:48Not really, not.
00:24:49No, I have a key.
00:24:51Besides, my mom always has meat blow-crardings.
00:24:53Really?
00:24:54Always.
00:24:55And besides, we don't want to eat dinner here.
00:24:58We just want to make a quick introduction and we want to get out.
00:25:17Well, you have a very nice home.
00:25:21You make candles, right?
00:25:23That must be so interesting.
00:25:25How do you do it?
00:25:27We use wax.
00:25:29Right.
00:25:32So, how did you two meet each other?
00:25:35At a function.
00:25:38At a school function.
00:25:40Oh, I didn't know you had a function at school.
00:25:43When was this?
00:25:46Recently.
00:25:51Forgive me, Chase, but I thought you didn't like the nightlies.
00:25:57Well, I guess she couldn't help but fall in love with me.
00:25:59Isn't that right, sweetie?
00:26:01How could I not?
00:26:03Yeah.
00:26:04Especially after you offered to build a new community center.
00:26:07Really?
00:26:08You're building a new center?
00:26:09Yes.
00:26:10With a large auditorium and a big gym and a swimming pool.
00:26:15Well, the plans are still in flux.
00:26:16Well, what's a few million dollars more when you're in love?
00:26:20Isn't that right?
00:26:21Mm-hmm.
00:26:21Mm-hmm.
00:26:22Mm-hmm.
00:26:22Yeah.
00:26:24Yeah, I'm sorry.
00:26:28I don't understand.
00:26:30Three weeks ago, you and Andrew broke up because he wanted to take you to a nightly's ball.
00:26:36Now, that was just a function.
00:26:38And now, you're dating one.
00:26:46Yeah.
00:26:57Yeah.
00:26:57Yeah.
00:26:58Ever since she was about three years old, Georgia was begging us for a little brother, a little sister.
00:27:06Unfortunately, God's plan didn't see fit for us to have any more children.
00:27:10I'm sorry.
00:27:11Oh, no.
00:27:13No, she always loved kids.
00:27:14Even when she was one herself.
00:27:16As soon as she turned 12, she went and got her babysitter's license.
00:27:20She was looking after all the other kids in the neighborhood.
00:27:25She's the nicest person, the kindest heart.
00:27:28And I, look, I just have one request.
00:27:36Please don't drag her into any of your scandals, all right?
00:27:42Because unlike you, she can't just hop on a plane and fly away from all of her problems.
00:27:48She has to live here in this town.
00:27:53Yeah.
00:27:59What's going on?
00:28:00Oh, nothing, Pumpkin.
00:28:02We're just chatting about Christmas.
00:28:04I hope you're being nice.
00:28:06Of course you are.
00:28:10Well, I'm going to go help your mother.
00:28:12Okay.
00:28:13Good talk.
00:28:14Thanks.
00:28:17Cute.
00:28:36On Christmas Eve, my father will announce the merger, and then you and I just have to
00:28:40make a quick appearance at the Christmas party, and then the next day, I'll tell the reporters
00:28:44that the pressure of dating nightly was too much, and you want it to end things.
00:28:48No, no scandal, no story.
00:28:49Just, please respect your privacy.
00:28:52And you really think that this is going to help the merger?
00:28:56It has to.
00:28:58You can't fail because of me.
00:29:00What happened?
00:29:02I jeopardized something my father worked on all year.
00:29:06Why?
00:29:11It doesn't matter.
00:29:12Can I ask you a question?
00:29:14Did you and Andrew really break up because of her Christmas ball?
00:29:19There were many reasons, but yes, it was one of them.
00:29:27You were unlike anyone I've ever met.
00:29:32Is that a good thing?
00:29:34I don't know, you're...
00:29:36I don't know.
00:29:54It's a meatloaf.
00:29:55Meatloaf?
00:29:56Mm-hmm.
00:29:57Is it like meat in the shape of a loaf?
00:30:01I never would have guessed.
00:30:02It's actually pretty good.
00:30:03Oh, that's great.
00:30:04Glad to hear.
00:30:04Thanks.
00:30:05Let's go.
00:30:17You must.
00:30:37What are you doing here?
00:30:39What is that?
00:30:41Can we come in?
00:30:45You do realize I have an actual job, right?
00:30:48Yeah, I spoke to your principal.
00:30:51She said, uh, since it's so close to the winter break,
00:30:54as long as the Christmas showcase is on track,
00:30:57she's okay with you taking a little bit of personal time.
00:31:00So you're organizing my life now?
00:31:02You'll get used to it.
00:31:03I'm glad you said that, actually.
00:31:04The PR team wants you to help out with the showcase.
00:31:07Painting sets, anything that Miss Jackson deems necessary.
00:31:12Really?
00:31:12I can make you a list. Even you can follow.
00:31:17Remember, we're trying to rebuild your image here.
00:31:20Okay? Great.
00:31:22Why is your tree lying on the floor?
00:31:26Just haven't gotten around to decorating it yet.
00:31:31Totally normal.
00:31:32I also selected a couple of things
00:31:34that might help us actually sell this little fairy tale.
00:31:40Great. A new pantsuit.
00:31:44Where would I even wear this?
00:31:46As most of you know,
00:31:47Farrington Knightley Enterprises has been in talks with EDT International
00:31:51regarding a potential merger since January this year.
00:31:55Now, I am not permitted to divulge anything definitive on that matter,
00:31:58except to say that on Christmas Eve,
00:32:00before our annual Christmas Night Meatball,
00:32:03we'll have an official announcement you won't want to miss.
00:32:08Yes.
00:32:09Will there be EDT International representatives?
00:32:13Well, if I told you that, I'd be giving away the punchline.
00:32:16I guess the, uh, schoolteacher-girlfriend tactic worked.
00:32:21Not sure what you mean?
00:32:22Sure you do.
00:32:24Your sudden relationship with Georgia Jackson
00:32:27seems all too convenient and a little...
00:32:30mismatched.
00:32:33Mismatched.
00:32:34Well, you must be referring to Georgia's grace and beauty
00:32:37against my many inadequate attributes.
00:32:40No.
00:32:41I'm referring to your wealth.
00:32:43As compared to her more...
00:32:46humble station.
00:32:48Well, as far as I understand it,
00:32:50she doesn't hold my money against me.
00:32:52If that should change, I'll let you know.
00:32:55But for now, I'm just thankful that we have the resources
00:32:58that allow us to build a new community center for this town
00:33:01at Georgia's past.
00:33:04When will the work begin?
00:33:06Is it going to be in the same location?
00:33:07Uh, in the new year, and yes, probably.
00:33:10I'm sorry, that's all the details I have at the moment.
00:33:12Thank you all for coming, and see you Saturday.
00:33:14One more.
00:33:15Oh, Ms. Jackson.
00:33:17Did you have to convince Mr. Knightley to build the rec center?
00:33:21No.
00:33:22The Knightley family, and Chase in particular,
00:33:24would like to get deeper involved in communities across the country,
00:33:27starting with the states that they have a significant footprint in.
00:33:30One more question.
00:33:32What will you be wearing to the ball?
00:33:34I'm not sure, but when I find out, I can let you know.
00:33:38Okay. Thank you very much, everybody.
00:33:41Hey, um, we're gonna have some, uh, exclusive, uh, photo opportunities
00:33:48this week coming up, starting tonight, if you're interested.
00:33:50Really?
00:33:51Yeah.
00:33:53Randall, grab a donut.
00:33:57I score.
00:33:59Thanks.
00:34:01You know, I can help you dig deeper, get to the heart of the story,
00:34:05if you'd like.
00:34:07I need all the help I can get.
00:34:09I can be helpful sometimes.
00:34:18You have to tell me everything!
00:34:22So, you get to keep all this?
00:34:25I don't know, I didn't ask.
00:34:26Okay, well, if you do, can I have this one?
00:34:28Sure.
00:34:29I-I don't know.
00:34:30Are you listening to a thing I'm saying?
00:34:32Of course I am.
00:34:34And?
00:34:36Uh, and I think I should have been the one to wait with Zoe.
00:34:40I'm serious.
00:34:41I'm serious, too.
00:34:43Georgia, you get to play Cinderella for a week.
00:34:47Do things that you would otherwise never get to do.
00:34:50Attend a literal ball with the most eligible bachelor in America.
00:34:54I'm sorry, but I failed to see the downside.
00:34:57The downside is, is that I'm lying to everyone.
00:35:01And I kind of agreed to not doing anything extravagant.
00:35:04You were still the wrong girl for this.
00:35:07You're like a switch, you know?
00:35:09I'm a school teacher.
00:35:11I just do it for the clothes.
00:35:19I can't wear this.
00:35:22I think it suits you.
00:35:24Do I have to?
00:35:25Well, we typically wear them while decorating our Christmas tree.
00:35:28But since you missed out on that.
00:35:34Looks like you're wearing it now.
00:35:36In public.
00:35:37You're loving it, aren't you?
00:35:38A little bit, yeah.
00:35:44Does your family have any Christmas traditions?
00:35:47Um, not really.
00:35:49I mean, the Christmas nightly ball, I guess.
00:35:53Well, maybe you two can start some of your own.
00:35:57Mom, I don't think we're ready for that.
00:36:00Yeah, I'm not really like a traditions kind of guy.
00:36:03Traditions are how you make memories.
00:36:05It's how you build bonds with your family.
00:36:08Okay, okay.
00:36:09Let the boy be.
00:36:11I'm sure he has plenty of wonderful family memories, don't you?
00:36:14Yeah.
00:36:21Um.
00:36:25Oh, actually.
00:36:27One summer, I think I was like nine, um, I told my parents I wanted to go camping.
00:36:34So we rented a camper and went to this lake in Oklahoma where nobody knew us.
00:36:39And, uh, me and my dad just fished all day.
00:36:45And then at night we all just sat by the fire.
00:36:48No phones, no emails, nothing.
00:36:51Just the three of us.
00:36:56Yeah, it's probably my favorite family memory.
00:37:00Sounds lovely, doesn't it?
00:37:09Speaking of tradition, super embarrassing.
00:37:13We could probably skip over it this year.
00:37:14Uh, no, not any chance.
00:37:16What is it?
00:37:17Each year we buy her a special ornament to serve as a kind of memory of that year.
00:37:23Do you remember this one, hmm?
00:37:26Was that last year?
00:37:27No, no, that was this one.
00:37:32I had a three-legged squirrel in the attic.
00:37:33Is this still there?
00:37:34Oh, no, she moved out.
00:37:36But she comes to visit every now and then.
00:37:38How perfect is this?
00:37:39Oh, no.
00:37:40Oh, come on, it's such a cute story.
00:37:43When Georgia was about three, we took her to see the Ice Capades.
00:37:47Well, she was obsessed with it, right?
00:37:50So, we enrolled her in a skating class.
00:37:52But when we picked her up after the first class, she was on the verge of tears.
00:37:57Apparently, based on her experience of watching the Ice Capades,
00:38:00she was expecting flowers to be thrown at her feet.
00:38:04And felt cheated when all she got was a hot chocolate.
00:38:07You knew what you were worth.
00:38:09Uh-huh.
00:38:12Wow.
00:38:13I'm not gonna hear the end of this, am I?
00:38:15Probably not.
00:38:16Give me that ornament.
00:38:20Wow.
00:38:22Kind of looks like you, too.
00:38:23Cute.
00:38:24Beautiful.
00:38:30Hello.
00:38:31This is Randall Mumphrey.
00:38:33I'm with the Gazette.
00:38:35I'd like to speak to the director of the community center.
00:38:37Could you, uh, point me in that direction?
00:38:41It's about the recent donation from the Knightley family.
00:38:46Oh, I'll hold.
00:38:56Explain to me again how this is all gonna work out.
00:38:59It's magic.
00:39:03Okay, so we basically line each side on the inside with some wet cardboard and some adhesive,
00:39:09and then we put it together and let it dry overnight.
00:39:11Once it's dry, we put paper mache over it, and then we sand it, and then we paint it.
00:39:16Okay.
00:39:19What animal is this?
00:39:21A dire wolf.
00:39:23There's a dire wolf in the manger?
00:39:24With a camel and sheep.
00:39:27Cool.
00:39:27I'm sure this is all gonna look great.
00:39:30I'm already such a critic.
00:39:32What I'm trying to do is create a magical desert night with maybe some moonlight above.
00:39:38So, can I, um, leave you alone with this?
00:39:41Alone?
00:39:42Why?
00:39:42I have to go teach some young minds about Mesopotamia.
00:39:45Besides, Brayden can help.
00:39:48I have no idea how, so.
00:39:57See how easy that is?
00:39:59Okay.
00:40:04Okay, um, do you know what this thing we said?
00:40:08I hate anything messy, sticky.
00:40:11Oh, tackle foul, tie guy.
00:40:13I forget that.
00:40:15Oh, you know what?
00:40:16You're gonna really want to soak that cardboard, okay?
00:40:18It makes it easier to mold.
00:40:20Yeah, I know.
00:40:21Surprise myself sometimes.
00:40:22Hey, uh, Miss Jackson didn't happen to, uh, mention that I could be an invaluable addition
00:40:28to the showcase, has she?
00:40:30I mean, you guys may remember me from my voice.
00:40:33Are you having fun?
00:40:35Ladies and gentlemen, let's make some noise!
00:40:42No, she hasn't mentioned anything.
00:40:46Oh, okay, cool.
00:40:47Probably, uh, probably just slipped her mind.
00:40:49You know, she's busy.
00:40:50I get it.
00:40:51Uh, let me cut up the middleman.
00:40:52Oh, that's me.
00:40:53Coach Brown.
00:40:53Coach, teacher, DJ.
00:40:55Uh, gonna need you to clean this up, though.
00:40:58Yeah, look, I got a basketball game tomorrow.
00:41:00I can't have the kids sticking on the floor, okay?
00:41:02I want to see some hustle and some elbow grease.
00:41:04Go!
00:41:04All right, let's go, go, go, go, go!
00:41:14Wait a minute, why do you have a leg?
00:41:15That's too many legs.
00:41:16This is an arm.
00:41:17What?
00:41:18It's an arm.
00:41:21I'd ask how it went, but...
00:41:24We're hoping that the paint will help identify the creatures.
00:41:27So what you're saying is we should have had the kids do this?
00:41:31Probably.
00:41:38Hi.
00:41:39I'm Brayden.
00:41:41Brayden Winthrop.
00:41:42Uh, Nikki Finley.
00:41:45I'm not normally sticky.
00:41:50Uh, so you're the one that orchestrated this little charade.
00:41:55Why does everyone keep calling it that?
00:41:58Which reminds me, actually, Georgia, we should really have a discussion around the secret nature of this secret.
00:42:04Oh, I-I won't tell anyone, I promise.
00:42:08Hey, so, um, we obviously need to clean this up.
00:42:12Yeah.
00:42:12I need to get changed, but, um, I was wondering if you'd be free this evening.
00:42:18Why?
00:42:20It's kind of a surprise.
00:42:22What if I don't like surprises?
00:42:25I think you might like this one.
00:42:29Keep me closed.
00:42:30They're closed.
00:42:31Oh, okay.
00:42:33Almost there.
00:42:34You said that about an hour ago.
00:42:35Oh, that was like two minutes ago.
00:42:37All right, keep me closed.
00:42:40They're closed.
00:42:40So, to your left.
00:42:42Okay.
00:42:44Ready?
00:42:46Yeah.
00:42:55How did you get my shoe size?
00:42:58I have my waist and maybe an outline.
00:43:02My mother.
00:43:04I'll never reveal my source.
00:43:09I figure you should continue your adventures in figure skating.
00:43:12Is that what you think?
00:43:14Yeah.
00:43:15Hmm.
00:43:19Impressive.
00:43:21I mean, there's no ice cakes, but, you know.
00:43:24You're never going to let that one go, are you?
00:43:26There's no way.
00:43:27I could teach you a few things, maybe.
00:43:30Okay.
00:43:32Maybe you should start by teaching you how to skate backwards.
00:43:35That would be handy.
00:43:36Okay.
00:43:38Press.
00:43:38Press.
00:43:40Press.
00:43:40Yeah, you got it.
00:43:44Wow.
00:43:45You are a very fast learner.
00:43:49I think so.
00:43:50Very impressive.
00:43:52Dumballs.
00:43:53Where are you going?
00:43:55Dumballs.
00:44:08Wow.
00:44:10I believe this is what should happen every time you step on the ice.
00:44:13Exactly.
00:44:14Even beginners deserve flowers, right?
00:44:16That's all I was trying to say.
00:44:18But I am curious.
00:44:19What would I get if I wasn't a beginner?
00:44:22Like if you did little spins?
00:44:24Yeah.
00:44:26I don't know.
00:44:28Let's see.
00:44:3032 dollars and a gummer.
00:44:32That's it.
00:44:33That's all I have.
00:44:35What about a new hockey rink?
00:44:39You just learned how to skate backwards.
00:44:41Then you should have nothing to worry about.
00:44:45Okay.
00:44:46For one properly executed jump, you can have a hockey rink.
00:45:04I guess you didn't stop your skating lessons, huh?
00:45:06You should see your face right now.
00:45:08I can't wait for that new hockey rink.
00:45:17Oh boy.
00:45:19Keep digging.
00:45:21I know they're lying about that relationship.
00:45:24But is that the story we want to write about?
00:45:26Shouldn't we chase a story about the merger?
00:45:28Trust me.
00:45:29It'll affect the merger.
00:45:33I think I'll be keeping these photos to myself from now on.
00:45:37I don't need any more advice.
00:45:38You'll never get a real story that way.
00:45:43Okay, fine.
00:45:45I'll do it myself!
00:46:00Hey, Brayden.
00:46:01I'm skating with Georgia and you're on speakerphone.
00:46:04Skating?
00:46:05Is Brooke there?
00:46:07No.
00:46:08Why?
00:46:10Okay, maybe you two don't understand this, but this whole arrangement works for one reason
00:46:16and one reason only, okay?
00:46:18This would have been a really amazing PR opportunity for us.
00:46:22Yeah, I understand that, but she wasn't available, okay?
00:46:30Georgia.
00:46:42No, you have to smooth it out or it'll be lumpy when it dries.
00:46:48You're not very good at this.
00:46:51I'm not, am I?
00:46:53You weren't very good at soaking the cardboard either.
00:46:56Nope.
00:46:58That's okay.
00:46:59My mom says teachers have to find the thing that you're good at, that's all.
00:47:03So, what are you good at?
00:47:07Well, I'm a lawyer.
00:47:09Well, are you good at lawyering?
00:47:11I don't know, actually.
00:47:12Well, at least you're sort of helping us now.
00:47:15I like how she qualified with sort of.
00:47:18I'm telling you, being a teacher is humbling in so many ways.
00:47:23Bye, my dad's here.
00:47:24Oh, okay.
00:47:25Bye-bye.
00:47:26Bye.
00:47:30It's okay.
00:47:31The best.
00:47:33So, listen, um, I have to go too.
00:47:36My parents are coming to help me decorate my Christmas tree.
00:47:40Are you gonna be okay on your own?
00:47:45Yeah.
00:47:47Okay.
00:47:48Do you want to join us?
00:47:50Before you answer that, you should know there will be no PR.
00:47:53No, it's even better.
00:47:54I love that.
00:47:55Can we talk about that?
00:47:57Yeah.
00:47:57You don't have to explain yourself.
00:47:59Just remember to wear your sweater.
00:48:01Oh, yeah.
00:48:07Oh.
00:48:15Oh.
00:48:31Time to rest, lots of parties, lots of guests, making one big merry mess, I love this child.
00:48:41It was nice of him to suggest this.
00:48:44What do you mean?
00:48:46Oh, when he called about your skate size, he mentioned that you hadn't even put your tree up yet.
00:48:51Really?
00:48:53Yes.
00:48:54Thought you might like to do it with your family.
00:49:00You know, I have to be honest, when you first introduced us, I wasn't sure what you saw on him.
00:49:09But now, I can see this go the distance.
00:49:14Oh, I think it's too early for those kinds of plans.
00:49:20I thought you wanted us to like him.
00:49:22Um, I do. I just think we have a long ways to go before we plan the future.
00:49:35So, um, listen, I heard you talking about how much you liked going camping and all that.
00:49:40I got to thinking, maybe in the summertime, if you're back here, you and I could go.
00:49:46You know, I know a couple of good spots for fishing.
00:49:49That'd be great.
00:49:50All right. Now, it's nothing fancy. I just, I just use an old tent.
00:49:55That's fine. I love old tents.
00:49:57All right, great.
00:49:58Well, you know, we get up early enough, we can catch ourselves a mighty nice trout.
00:50:02Really?
00:50:03Mm-hmm.
00:50:05What's a fish?
00:50:06Okay.
00:50:15Well, thanks for inviting me. I've actually never decorated a Christmas tree before.
00:50:21Seriously?
00:50:22Hmm.
00:50:23My mom just hired service to put all the decorations up and then take them down.
00:50:27Oh.
00:50:30Thank you for organizing this.
00:50:33What do you mean? I just showed up.
00:50:35My mom told me.
00:50:37Oh.
00:50:38Yeah.
00:50:40Well, I didn't want you to be without a Christmas tree.
00:50:51I should probably go.
00:50:53Hey, can I ask you a question?
00:50:56Sure.
00:50:57I'm having a hard time reconciling the guy in the tabloids with the guy standing right
00:51:02in front of me.
00:51:04It's not a question.
00:51:06Why do you do this?
00:51:08I mean, you must know that the press is going to have a field day with it.
00:51:12Yeah, well, apparently photos of me partying sell magazines.
00:51:16Why do you play into it?
00:51:18I mean, why all the partying?
00:51:20You mean, like, why don't I do something constructive with my life?
00:51:24It's just...
00:51:26I feel like you're capable of so much more.
00:51:33Thanks.
00:51:40Tonight, it almost felt real.
00:51:56Hello.
00:51:57It's Randall.
00:51:59Hey, thank you for calling me back.
00:52:02Yeah.
00:52:02I just wanted to ask you some questions about the donation.
00:52:08Uh-huh.
00:52:11Uh-huh.
00:52:22They're here.
00:52:26Well, this can't be good.
00:52:31Evie!
00:52:32Hi.
00:52:33Sir?
00:52:34Oh, nice sweater.
00:52:36Oh, thanks.
00:52:37Um, you, uh, came home early?
00:52:40Just a couple of days.
00:52:41We missed you.
00:52:42I missed you too.
00:52:45And we wanted to hear about Georgia.
00:52:48Oh, and why are we building a rack center here?
00:52:51I thought we already had one.
00:52:54Why don't we take a seat, sit down, talk to us.
00:52:57Okay.
00:53:00So, who is this Georgia?
00:53:03I've asked around and she's not in any of our circles.
00:53:05Barrington.
00:53:06We just want to know more about her, that's all.
00:53:11Well, she's smart, kind, beautiful.
00:53:17And she's great with kids.
00:53:19She seems very different from the kind of girls you usually date.
00:53:23But she's in a good way.
00:53:30Since you're here early, could we maybe talk about the merger?
00:53:33Yeah, sure.
00:53:35Things have calmed down a bit.
00:53:36We should be able to sign a schedule.
00:53:37I'm not talking about that.
00:53:40I just...
00:53:41I don't think that the way this deal is structured is great for either one of us.
00:53:46Have you had a chance to look at my numbers?
00:53:48No, I have not.
00:53:49But Sam said it's too late to change anything.
00:53:51I gave those to you months ago.
00:53:52There will be other opportunities.
00:53:55Right.
00:53:57Oh, and son, have you, uh, asked Georgia to attend the press conference?
00:54:00It'd be good for the cameras.
00:54:05Yes, we'll be there.
00:54:05Oh, and do we really have to build the new rec center?
00:54:09Yes, father.
00:54:10We do.
00:54:15I don't know.
00:54:17So I was thinking we'll just put this dire donkey sort of tucked behind everything.
00:54:22So, you know, maybe, just maybe, no one will realize that it's not an animal that exists in nature.
00:54:29Chase?
00:54:32You know, I like her dire donkey.
00:54:34Hmm, that's cool.
00:54:36Hello.
00:54:37Sir.
00:54:39Um, Georgia, these, uh, these are my parents.
00:54:43Evening Barrington Nately.
00:54:45This is Georgia.
00:54:46So great to meet you both.
00:54:48Thank you so much for donating this new facility.
00:54:50It's really going to help us.
00:54:52It is our pleasure.
00:54:53You are utterly charming, my dear.
00:54:56No wonder the press are gushing about you.
00:54:58Oh, well, don't believe everything you read.
00:55:02This is just wonderful.
00:55:05Well, your son helped with it.
00:55:07In fact, he's an integral part of it.
00:55:09What are you doing here?
00:55:10Oh, just thought we'd come by, see what you've been keeping yourself busy with.
00:55:15What kind of animal is that?
00:55:17I'm sure the children made those, darling.
00:55:21Did you make this?
00:55:24Yes, apparently I did.
00:55:26See?
00:55:31You've got to find someone else to harass.
00:55:33I've got to hand it to you.
00:55:36I'm really impressed with how far you'll go to prove this thing is real.
00:55:41Because you and I both know it isn't.
00:55:45Mr. Michaels, the director of this place, he didn't find out about the donation until the press conference.
00:55:52So I've got to ask myself, how does that make sense?
00:55:59Unless it's a last-minute idea you had to save the merger?
00:56:04Actually, that was my fault.
00:56:06I wanted it to be a surprise.
00:56:08Now, if you'll excuse us, we actually have a lot of work to do before the showcase.
00:56:13Here's an idea.
00:56:14Why don't you write about that?
00:56:16People donating their time.
00:56:18Sounds like a great Christmas story.
00:56:22This isn't over.
00:56:26Not by a long shot.
00:56:33What's going on?
00:56:35Why would he think that your relationship's not real?
00:56:38It's just Randall being Randall, sir.
00:56:40Needs a headline.
00:56:41I'm afraid that's something you must get used to if you're around us.
00:56:45I've heard that Chase has met your parents.
00:56:48Yes, he has.
00:56:49And I would love for the two of you to meet them as well, if you had the time.
00:56:53Of course, we would love to meet them.
00:56:56Wouldn't we, Barrington?
00:56:56Yes, we would.
00:57:00I have an idea.
00:57:30So, Barrington, Chase tells me you like fishing.
00:57:34I do.
00:57:35I haven't gone for, oh, I can't remember how many years now.
00:57:40Probably when we were in Oklahoma.
00:57:42Well, he speaks very highly of your camping trip.
00:57:45Maybe when you're all back here, you know, in the summer, we could all go together.
00:57:50I'd like that.
00:57:55I kind of thought we'd all be building one gingerbread house together.
00:57:59It's kind of hard when we all have a different skill level.
00:58:02Oh, wow.
00:58:03Oh, she's competitive.
00:58:05I like it.
00:58:07You have no idea.
00:58:08No.
00:58:09Hey.
00:58:09I'm afraid Chase has fallen victim to another one of George's hustles.
00:58:14Really?
00:58:15Yeah, let's just say the rec center now has a hockey ring.
00:58:18Oh.
00:58:20Yeah.
00:58:27I can't believe you did it.
00:58:29I know.
00:58:30We got your parents to make a gingerbread house.
00:58:32No, I'm not talking about that.
00:58:35Um, you and your parents got a dinner invite.
00:58:37That never happens.
00:58:41You always win this trophy, don't you?
00:58:43Yeah, I do.
00:58:45I suspect a French judge.
00:58:48Are you serious?
00:58:50Look at my house and look at yours.
00:58:52Look at the detailing.
00:58:53I went fair and square.
00:58:54Yeah, I don't know.
00:58:56I just think mine shows a little more imagination.
00:58:58You know, there's a certain, uh, je ne sais quoi.
00:59:01It's a bit of a mess.
00:59:03Yeah.
00:59:05I think Zoe would be very disappointed.
00:59:07Again.
00:59:11What do you think they're talking about over there?
00:59:14No way.
00:59:16McGaffney has destroyed every backer who's even tried to cover him.
00:59:20And our defense crushed your quarterback.
00:59:23My friend, your team is four and eight.
00:59:26There's no coming back from that.
00:59:28I know.
00:59:28I know.
00:59:31Why does he actually become friends?
00:59:36Yeah, that would complicate things.
00:59:38Yeah.
00:59:39No.
00:59:47Oh, come on.
00:59:48Hey.
00:59:49Sorry, man.
00:59:50Yeah.
00:59:51Hey, aren't you Georgia Jackson's ex-boyfriend?
00:59:56Yeah, why?
00:59:57I'm a reporter.
00:59:58Doing an article on her.
00:59:59A background piece.
01:00:00What she's like.
01:00:01What kind of person she is.
01:00:03A feel-good piece.
01:00:05Could I ask you a few questions?
01:00:08You probably know her better than anyone.
01:00:10Yeah, I suppose I do.
01:00:15I mean, were you surprised to find out she was dating Chase?
01:00:19Even after refusing to go to their ball?
01:00:20See, that's the thing.
01:00:21Because it's like they're making it up.
01:00:23Just on the spot.
01:00:24I wonder why they did that.
01:00:26Don't know.
01:00:27Because she was happy when Megan told her that we were engaged.
01:00:29But then all of a sudden Chase shows up out of nowhere.
01:00:31Now I hear he's at the community center all the time.
01:00:36That's interesting.
01:00:40That's really interesting.
01:00:42Okay, keep your eyes closed.
01:00:44Okay, okay.
01:00:44Okay, wait.
01:00:45Wait.
01:00:47All right, Zoe.
01:00:48Okay.
01:00:49You can open up.
01:00:53Oh, it's perfect.
01:00:55I was missing that wow factor that I tried to create.
01:00:57No, are you kidding?
01:00:58It's amazing.
01:01:00Oh, thank you so much.
01:01:02Oh.
01:01:03And I heard you were the lead animal wrangler?
01:01:06Yeah.
01:01:07I mean, Zoe had to tell a little bit, right?
01:01:10That is true, but you are showing great promise.
01:01:12Thanks.
01:01:13Uh, I'm afraid we have to get going.
01:01:15I've got a lot to do before dinner, so...
01:01:17Are you sure you have to leave?
01:01:20Yeah, unfortunately.
01:01:21Well, I too have to bring this girly girl home.
01:01:24All right.
01:01:25All right.
01:01:29All right.
01:01:35What is that?
01:01:36A dire donkey.
01:01:44Miss Jackson?
01:01:46Yes?
01:01:47Do you like Mr. Knightley?
01:01:51Sure, I guess.
01:01:52Why do you ask?
01:01:53I know you're only pretending to be dating,
01:01:55because he overheard my uncle tell you
01:01:58that he just got engaged.
01:02:00They don't miss a beat.
01:02:03Don't worry.
01:02:04I know it's a secret,
01:02:05and I promise not to tell anyone,
01:02:06but I think Mr. Knightley really likes you.
01:02:11Well, thank you, Zoe.
01:02:12But it is just an arrangement.
01:02:14I don't think we're going to be seeing
01:02:15much of each other after Christmas.
01:02:17You ready?
01:02:19See you later.
01:02:21Put your seatbelts on.
01:02:34I know you're only pretending to be dating,
01:02:37because he overheard my uncle tell you
01:02:40that he just got engaged.
01:02:42Gotcha.
01:02:50I don't have to tell you how important
01:02:51this dinner is to the merger, do I?
01:02:53No, you don't, sir.
01:02:59Okay, I'll see you downstairs, son.
01:03:00I'll see you later.
01:03:05Great.
01:03:05Our guest arrived in ten minutes.
01:03:08Great.
01:03:11You all right?
01:03:14Yeah, why?
01:03:17You must be looking forward
01:03:20to have this whole merger behind us.
01:03:28Don't be aware not to see her every day.
01:03:32Well, maybe it doesn't have to end.
01:03:37Maybe after the merger,
01:03:38it could become something real.
01:03:44Yeah, I don't think so.
01:03:46I'm sure she can't wait for this to be over.
01:03:49Can't wait for this to be over.
01:03:51I have a really bad feeling about it.
01:03:53It's going to be fine.
01:03:55You said they liked each other.
01:03:57I know, it's just the nightlies have dinners
01:03:59with presidents of small countries,
01:04:01and we make scented candles.
01:04:03Uh, there's nothing wrong with scented candles.
01:04:05They bring so much joy.
01:04:07And maybe, when this fake relationship is over,
01:04:10you two could really date.
01:04:12Right.
01:04:12And how do you expect me to compete with this?
01:04:19With what?
01:04:20Come on, I'm nothing like them.
01:04:22Uh, Georgia, if he wanted that,
01:04:25he would just have that.
01:04:28Okay, well, let's not forget.
01:04:30He's only with me to close the deal.
01:04:32Well, you better enjoy every last minute of it
01:04:34until it's over.
01:04:38And, Georgia,
01:04:39um, this is a very impressive collection of magazines
01:04:43with Chase Knightley's face on them
01:04:44for someone who supposedly hates Chase Knightley.
01:04:59I've just planned a spectacular menu for this evening.
01:05:05Ah!
01:05:06Welcome!
01:05:07So nice to see you again.
01:05:10Let me introduce you to the Fortunes.
01:05:13These are the Jacksons and their daughter, Georgia.
01:05:17Very nice to meet you.
01:05:19So lovely to meet you.
01:05:20It's lovely to meet you, too.
01:05:22Well, how about I trade you those coats
01:05:24for a glass of champagne?
01:05:26That's a good deal.
01:05:27Follow me, please.
01:05:30You're here?
01:05:31I am.
01:05:33Welcome to our humble abode.
01:05:36I know.
01:05:37I'm surprised you'd even want to entertain in this shack.
01:05:40Well, we're known for being modest.
01:05:47Um, I think the Fortunes like you more than me.
01:05:51Really?
01:05:52I don't believe in you.
01:05:56You'd be interested to hear your thoughts
01:05:57on production moving to China.
01:06:00Uh, Chase wasn't involved in the crafting of that agreement.
01:06:04Oh.
01:06:06I see.
01:06:07Uh, well, perhaps we can benefit from your input in the future.
01:06:10We've always held that it's the highest honor
01:06:12to serve the family business.
01:06:14Yes, sir.
01:06:17Mrs. Knightley, this looks wonderful.
01:06:19Thank you, Georgia.
01:06:20We have a terrific chef from Budapest.
01:06:24I'll give him your compliments.
01:06:26But I made tonight's dessert all by myself.
01:06:31The kitchen staff were a little scared, I think.
01:06:35Can't wait to taste it.
01:06:37Me too.
01:06:38This wine is actually from one of our vineyards in Italy.
01:06:41What is it again, honey?
01:06:42I told you it wasn't over.
01:06:45I knew you hadn't met Georgia that night.
01:06:48You orchestrated this lie so Mr. Fortune wouldn't back out of the merger.
01:06:52I knew you wouldn't date someone like her, and she wouldn't date you.
01:06:57I spoke to her ex-boyfriend.
01:06:59You want to know what she thinks of all of you?
01:07:01She thinks you're what's wrong with America.
01:07:08I can't understand why you'd agree to something like this.
01:07:11I mean, for sure the new community center.
01:07:15But what possible circumstances could get him to pitch this idea to you?
01:07:21Then?
01:07:24I know you'll be pretending to be dating.
01:07:27Because he overheard my uncle tell you that he's just not engaged.
01:07:32I couldn't have come up with anything juicier.
01:07:34What do you want?
01:07:35From you?
01:07:37Nothing.
01:07:38The article will run tomorrow.
01:07:40Your tarnished image will get even more degraded.
01:07:42But you?
01:07:44Give me an exclusive interview about your week with Chase,
01:07:47and I'll make sure the video link doesn't get into the article.
01:07:52You're despicable.
01:07:55And I can't wait to see you at the press conference.
01:07:58In light of this new information,
01:08:00we've decided this merger is no longer in our best interest.
01:08:02Mr. Fortune, if I may.
01:08:04No, we'll be leaving first thing in the morning.
01:08:10Oops.
01:08:12Escort him out.
01:08:19I can't believe this.
01:08:24You lied.
01:08:26To my face.
01:08:29I'm sorry.
01:08:32I'm sorry.
01:08:39He knew how much this meant to me.
01:08:42Yes, he did.
01:08:44Then why?
01:08:45Why would he do something like this?
01:08:47Why do you think?
01:08:48You may not see this, but he was trying to help.
01:08:52Couldn't he find a more traditional way to help?
01:08:54He's got an MBA from Harvard, a law degree from Yale.
01:08:56Surely he could have come up with something more constructive.
01:08:59Yes.
01:09:00All that knowledge and nowhere to apply it.
01:09:03What are you talking about?
01:09:05Did you even look at his analysis?
01:09:08No, you didn't.
01:09:09You'd rather listen to anyone else,
01:09:11even though they've got half as much knowledge as Chase.
01:09:14That's not true.
01:09:14And before you say anything,
01:09:16yes, I know he's made some bad choices,
01:09:20but you need to take a look at your part in this.
01:09:25.
01:09:25.
01:09:26.
01:09:26.
01:09:26.
01:09:26.
01:09:26.
01:09:27.
01:09:27.
01:09:34.
01:09:37.
01:09:38.
01:09:54How you doing?
01:09:58I don't know.
01:10:00I brooned the merger my father spent an entire year working on.
01:10:05And I plucked a sweet and kind girl from obscurity
01:10:08and made her into a punchline.
01:10:14Whatever happens to her is on me.
01:10:18Look, you know, everything's gonna calm down, all right?
01:10:21Maybe not today or soon,
01:10:24but eventually everything will go back to normal for her and for you.
01:10:27Yeah, I don't want things to go back to normal.
01:10:29If this week has taught me anything,
01:10:31it's that I want to do something with my life.
01:10:35Okay.
01:10:40Whatever you need, I'm here.
01:10:43Thanks.
01:10:46You know you've been like a dad to me.
01:10:49I am not even that old.
01:10:52You're pretty old.
01:10:53I'm an old soul.
01:10:54You're getting old.
01:10:55It's not the same.
01:10:56It's the wrinkles.
01:10:57What?
01:10:57The smell of the pines fill in the air.
01:11:08Folks downtown shopping and snow in your head.
01:11:13All of the ones that we love are coming home.
01:11:25Kids with their lists for the big man.
01:11:31Won't give much sleep to life.
01:11:32Wow.
01:11:34I believe this is what should happen every time you step on the air.
01:11:36Exactly.
01:11:38Even beginners are flowers, right?
01:11:40I think that this feeling is Christmas.
01:11:45Snow-covered trees in the house.
01:11:48She's got it.
01:11:48I like it.
01:11:49You have no idea.
01:11:51No.
01:11:51Hey.
01:11:52This feeling is Christmas.
01:11:55It's feeling like Christmas.
01:11:58It's feeling all right.
01:12:01And it could be Christmas tonight.
01:12:12I wish I had read this analysis when you gave it to me.
01:12:18You were right.
01:12:20Kevin's ideas, they were short-sighted.
01:12:23Yeah, I mean, he didn't take into account the highly fluctuating exchange rate,
01:12:27which, if done properly, you can actually take advantage of.
01:12:36So, what would you do?
01:12:44Well, I'd combine your buying power, like Kevin suggested,
01:12:48but I'd keep aspects of the manufacturing in our own countries,
01:12:54each taking advantage of our own strengths.
01:12:56So, only manufacture the parts that are cost-effective?
01:13:00Yes.
01:13:00And then, the tax credits would offset the premiums and the costs,
01:13:03and we could keep all of the jobs in our own countries.
01:13:12I have an idea.
01:13:15But I'm going to need your help.
01:13:17Okay.
01:13:34Thank you for coming out again at such a late hour.
01:13:38I thought I made myself very clear.
01:13:39You certainly did.
01:13:41And I suspect that it was so easy for you to walk away from this merger
01:13:44because it wasn't a very good deal for either of us.
01:13:51Earlier, you asked Chase what he thought about the merger.
01:13:54And to be honest, he gave me an analysis months ago,
01:13:57and I didn't read it until tonight.
01:14:00I'd like you to hear him out.
01:14:02We've got some great ideas.
01:14:05What are we waiting for?
01:14:20Thank you, Barrington, for having me back.
01:14:22It was well worth my time.
01:14:24Thank you for coming back.
01:14:27And you, when you conduct your business with honor,
01:14:30you have a bright future ahead of you.
01:14:31Thank you, sir.
01:14:32I think so, too.
01:14:34Jump.
01:14:51Yes!
01:14:54You did it.
01:14:55No, we did it.
01:14:58Son, you saved the merger.
01:15:07Now, go get some rest.
01:15:09We got a big day tomorrow.
01:15:13Oh, Braden, do you happen to have that business card of that quarter?
01:15:24I don't think I've seen your father that pleased since I've met him.
01:15:30You did well.
01:15:33Thanks.
01:15:37I just wish I could make it up to Georgia.
01:15:40Yeah.
01:15:43Well, you know, thanks to you, there's a new species of animal in the manger.
01:15:48Yeah, exactly.
01:15:55I think I have a crazy idea.
01:15:57No more crazy ideas, please.
01:15:59Oh, no, this is a good one.
01:16:01Yeah, we're doing it.
01:16:02Come on.
01:16:02I don't want it.
01:16:03Yeah, well.
01:16:17Hey.
01:16:18Did you read it?
01:16:19In the five seconds since you've sent it?
01:16:22The merger was signed early this morning and Chase was named the COO.
01:16:27That's great.
01:16:28I'm so happy for him.
01:16:31Okay, there's one more thing.
01:16:32What's that?
01:16:33Uh, how fast can you get down here?
01:16:37Why?
01:16:38Just get here.
01:16:40Okay, but I want to watch the press conference first.
01:16:42I want to see what Randall has to say.
01:16:44Randall wasn't there.
01:16:46That's what I'm trying to tell you.
01:16:49Jason.
01:16:59Oh, did you not get the new start time?
01:17:03Sorry about that.
01:17:04You can't keep me away.
01:17:05I have the right to report the news.
01:17:07Yes, of course.
01:17:08You can print whatever you want about us because we are news, I suppose.
01:17:13But, come on, man.
01:17:15That recording in Georgia is just sleazy.
01:17:17It is neither news nor is it newsworthy.
01:17:20You were using it to bully her.
01:17:23The whole idea for this relationship was mine.
01:17:25Print that if you want.
01:17:27But, I'd be careful.
01:17:30You know, you and I both know there is a nine-year-old child in that video whose parents gave
01:17:34no consent.
01:17:36So, I'm sure you wouldn't post something like that because...
01:17:39You know a lawyer would have no problem bankrupting you and ending your career over something like this.
01:17:45And, as you may recall, Randall, I am a lawyer.
01:17:51Ready?
01:17:55And, by the way, she's getting the exclusive.
01:17:58Sorry, Randall.
01:17:59Looks like I have a real story to report.
01:18:16Who did this?
01:18:18Brayden and Chase.
01:18:19When?
01:18:20They finished it this morning, according to Coach Brown.
01:18:24It's beautiful.
01:18:29It doesn't mean anything, though.
01:18:32On what planet?
01:18:35Georgia?
01:18:36He did this because he's fallen in love with you.
01:18:40Have you seen his girlfriends?
01:18:41I am nothing like them.
01:18:43Georgia.
01:18:44Even Randall thinks that I'm not someone he'd ever date.
01:18:46Randall.
01:18:47You're gonna go by what Randall said?
01:18:51Do you like him?
01:18:54Randall?
01:18:55No.
01:18:56Chase.
01:18:57Chase.
01:18:59Chase.
01:19:00Yeah.
01:19:01Then go talk to him.
01:19:03I can't.
01:19:05Yes, you can.
01:19:06What about...
01:19:07What?
01:19:09I've got this.
01:19:10Go.
01:19:16Yeah!
01:19:22Okay, I'm gonna fix it.
01:19:31Barreton?
01:19:32Yes?
01:19:33What's happened to the lights?
01:19:35Chase.
01:19:37He donated them to the community center.
01:19:41Oh.
01:19:42And I think it's a good idea.
01:19:45Well, all right then.
01:19:50Chase.
01:19:52I know I don't say it often, but I am proud of you.
01:19:58Thanks, Dad.
01:20:00Have you talked to her?
01:20:02There's not much to say.
01:20:04She probably never wants to see me again, and I don't blame her.
01:20:08I saw you two last night.
01:20:11And by the way she looks at you, I don't think that's true.
01:20:26The father's right.
01:20:28You should go talk to her.
01:20:32We'll hold down the fort here.
01:20:33Just go.
01:20:35I don't even know where she is.
01:20:38It's Christmas Eve.
01:20:40The community center.
01:20:45Go get her.
01:20:51Oh, Christmas tree.
01:20:54Oh, Christmas tree.
01:20:56How lovely are thy branches.
01:21:00Oh, Christmas tree.
01:21:02Oh, Christmas tree.
01:21:04How lovely are thy branches.
01:21:09The pillars, oh, please faithfully.
01:21:13Our trust in God, unchangingly.
01:21:17Oh, Christmas tree.
01:21:20Oh, Christmas tree.
01:21:21Nikki.
01:21:22Chase, what are you doing here?
01:21:23Is she in there?
01:21:24No, she's gone to see you.
01:21:26Chase.
01:21:29Go get her.
01:21:31Yeah, that's it.
01:21:32Yeah, that's it.
