Short filmTranscript
00:00:09Can you believe it's been three years since Eli left for work?
00:00:13Feels like yesterday.
00:00:17I wonder he'll make it home for Christmas this year.
00:00:28Sir, it's not looking good.
00:00:29The hackers are about to break through the firewall.
00:00:31Don't let them.
00:00:32This is the company's lifeline.
00:00:34We have to protect it at all costs.
00:00:36My system's been hijacked!
00:00:38It's mine too! What do we do?
00:00:41How do we fix this?
00:00:46Elijah, we've been hacked. We need your help.
00:00:49What's the problem this time?
00:00:51Didn't I bring it under control already?
00:00:53There are more hackers now, and they're trying to bust through the firewall.
00:00:56They've already hijacked our computer systems.
00:00:59These fuckers are persistent, I'll give them that.
00:01:01These guys are using virtual IPs. They're not messing around.
00:01:04I've just blocked about 500 IP addresses.
00:01:06Jesus, Elishas.
00:01:07You're really going 1v500?
00:01:12Sir, where did Gray Tech find this Elijah guy?
00:01:15He's a total genius.
00:01:17Elijah's our ace of spades.
00:01:18He single-handedly developed three of the products that made Gray Tech the top tech company in the country.
00:01:23Oh, and he defeated KD, the world's number two hacker.
00:01:26Then, wouldn't that make him the world's number one hacker?
00:01:34It's done.
00:01:35Elijah, you're incredible!
00:01:37One on 500, and you barely broke a sweat!
00:01:39Yeah!
00:01:44It's been a long day. You all should get home early.
00:01:47You guys heard Elijah? Let's wrap up early today!
00:01:49An early Christmas present for everyone!
00:01:55Mom, what's going on?
00:01:57Eli, will you...
00:02:01Are you coming home for Christmas?
00:02:03I'm literally on my way.
00:02:04Oh, and I'll be bringing my girlfriend, too.
00:02:06You and Dad are going to love her.
00:02:09Have someone on duty in case anything comes up.
00:02:11If you need me, I'll be a call away.
00:02:13It's the holidays, Elijah.
00:02:14Just forget about work for a while.
00:02:20I don't remember scheduling a Christmas party at the office.
00:02:25Um, who's this?
00:02:27This is our CEO's daughter, Samantha Gray.
00:02:30She's just returned from overseas.
00:02:32Due to her father's poor health, she'll be acting as Gray Tech's stand-if CEO.
00:02:37Here's the deal, folks.
00:02:39I don't know how my father ran this company,
00:02:41but my rule number one is no slacking off during work hours.
00:02:45Mrs. Gray, I can explain...
00:02:47Silence!
00:02:48You're fired.
00:02:51Starting today, there are going to be some major changes around here.
00:02:54I'm going to weed out each and every slapper in this office.
00:03:03Elijah, you're our top programmer.
00:03:05Please, speak up in our defense.
00:03:07We've been working insane hours while everyone else is at home for the holidays.
00:03:10You know we don't deserve to get fired.
00:03:14Sama, uh, I mean Miss Gray.
00:03:16We've been working overtime every day lately.
00:03:19Some of us even stayed here overnight last night to help protect the company from...
00:03:23You're only working overnight because you waste time all day.
00:03:27You think our competitors are this indeficient?
00:03:30Working overtime doesn't give you idiots the right to bargain with me.
00:03:33Miss Gray, it seems you're unaware that several days ago,
00:03:37we were hit with an unprecedented attack from highly sophisticated hackers.
00:03:41Through teamwork and days of tireless work,
00:03:45we were finally able to fend them off.
00:03:47Warding off hackers is your job.
00:03:49What do you want?
00:03:50A trophy?
00:03:50I've got some news for you, shit brains.
00:03:53All of you will be working over Christmas this year!
00:03:56To keep up with our competitors,
00:03:58we need to be constantly improving and pushing the envelope.
00:04:01And for anyone who stays home on Christmas,
00:04:03consider yourself unemployed.
00:04:05Unemployed!
00:04:05Miss Gray, no one in this industry works on Christmas.
00:04:08It's the one day we get to be with our families.
00:04:10Surely you can understand.
00:04:12Is your salary for going home and stuffing gifts into stockings?
00:04:16Have you forgotten who feeds you, who houses you,
00:04:18who gives you cars, and who pays for your children's schools?
00:04:20Ma'am, I agree that continuous innovation is vital.
00:04:23But rushing things will only lead to disaster.
00:04:25I suggest you reconsider.
00:04:26Who do you think you are questioning my decision?
00:04:30Miss Gray, this is Elijah Green.
00:04:33He's our chief programmer.
00:04:35He's highly respected within the company.
00:04:37Even your father values his advice.
00:04:39Looks like my father spoiled this Elijah.
00:04:41If I don't bring him down,
00:04:43Gray Tech will turn into Green Tech sooner or later.
00:04:45I'll say it again.
00:04:46Everyone must show up on Christmas.
00:04:48Anyone who doesn't come in can submit their resignation.
00:04:51Miss Gray, do you know how much this decision will damage employee morality?
00:04:53Don't be dramatic.
00:04:54Since when are you qualified to speak for everyone?
00:04:57Anyone who wants Christmas off, stand up!
00:05:03They're not your servants.
00:05:05They're people.
00:05:07They need a healthy work-life balance.
00:05:10As acting C, you have to take that into account, or...
00:05:13Or what?
00:05:14Are you threatening me?
00:05:15My decisions are for the company's long-term growth,
00:05:17and to make sure all of you get raises.
00:05:20Besides, while we're all home decorating Christmas trees,
00:05:23who's going to solve user issues?
00:05:24Adam has already arranged around-the-clock coverage.
00:05:26No user issue will be missed.
00:05:30Mr. Green, you have repeatedly challenged my authority.
00:05:34I have no choice.
00:05:36You are fired.
00:05:44What did you just say?
00:05:45You heard me.
00:05:46My father pampering you all these years must have made you think you're hot shit.
00:05:50But you're in my house now,
00:05:51and Gray Tech is no place for arrogant preps like you.
00:05:55Fine then, do whatever you want.
00:05:56But you're making a big mistake.
00:06:00Wait!
00:06:01Before you leave,
00:06:03I need you to return all the confidential company data in your possession.
00:06:07What?
00:06:07I have nothing to give you.
00:06:08Liar!
00:06:09Return everything in its original form, or else!
00:06:12I don't know what you're talking about.
00:06:16Security!
00:06:19Stop that man!
00:06:20He's stealing our company's secrets and wealth!
00:06:23What are you waiting for?
00:06:24Miss Gray is your boss now.
00:06:26If she orders you to do something, do it!
00:06:28But ma'am, Mr. Grinner is...
00:06:29I'll tell you what he is.
00:06:31He's a spy and a traitor.
00:06:32Seize him so we can take back what's ours.
00:06:37That's all he has.
00:06:40Elijah Greens,
00:06:41this is your last chance.
00:06:43Turn over the data,
00:06:44now!
00:06:45Samantha Gray,
00:06:46I told you I have nothing to give you.
00:06:48You'll have to surrender sooner or later.
00:06:51And I won't just take the data,
00:06:53I'll take your car,
00:06:54your house,
00:06:54and your money, too!
00:06:56I'm not surrendering to you.
00:06:57All those things you mentioned were given to me by your father as tokens of appreciation.
00:07:01Now that he's out of the picture,
00:07:02what's the use in returning them?
00:07:04You're digging your own grave,
00:07:05and you're going to regret it.
00:07:07The word regret isn't in my vocabulary.
00:07:09Listen to me.
00:07:10Take this man's hands and beat them to a plum
00:07:12so that he never types on a keyboard again.
00:07:14Are you deaf?
00:07:15If you ignore my orders,
00:07:17I'll take you down along with him!
00:07:22Miss Gray?
00:07:23Does your father know what you're doing?
00:07:27Miss Gray,
00:07:28let's not do anything rash.
00:07:30We can just follow protocol
00:07:31and take him to the police station.
00:07:34Once the tech world finds out what he's done,
00:07:37other companies won't touch him with a ten-foot rope.
00:07:39All right.
00:07:40Have him arrested and blacklisted across the entire industry.
00:07:45Quiet!
00:07:47Another word and all of you are fired!
00:07:52I want this man to disappear.
00:07:55Miss Gray, you're taking this too far!
00:07:59I haven't done anything illegal!
00:08:01You're going to pay for this.
00:08:03Remove him.
00:08:05Oh, and May,
00:08:06from this day on you'll be working as my personal assistant.
00:08:15Mr. Green's, we were just following orders.
00:08:17You're free to go now.
00:08:20But we'll take care of it.
00:08:22Get out of here and don't look back.
00:08:23Thank you both.
00:08:24I won't forget this.
00:08:29Ava, I have some important news.
00:08:30Elijah Green has been fired from Gray Tech.
00:08:32You're his first love, right?
00:08:33Get in touch with him and convince him to join Eagle Tech.
00:08:34We need him on our side at all costs.
00:08:36Yes, sir.
00:08:36I'll get right on it.
00:08:38Elijah Green got sacked?
00:08:39This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
00:08:41I have to recruit him to join Sky Tech.
00:08:43What?
00:08:44Elijah Green's got laid off?
00:08:45You mean the lead programmer at Gray Tech?
00:08:46If we bring him on board,
00:08:48Lions Tech will catapult to the top of the tech world.
00:08:49We can't let this chance pass us up.
00:08:55Elijah, I heard you got fired.
00:08:56I'd like to formally offer you the role of lead engineer at Eagle Tech.
00:08:59We would be overjoyed to have someone like you on our team.
00:09:02Ava, I literally just got fired.
00:09:03I'm not in the mood for this now.
00:09:04All I want to do is go home and enjoy the holidays.
00:09:09All this time, I've been getting home late after Grace is asleep.
00:09:12But when she gets back today,
00:09:14I'm going to finally propose to her
00:09:15and then take her to meet my family.
00:09:18Derek, why so rough?
00:09:19Come on, I've been waiting forever.
00:09:21Now that your aunt's gone, we can finally get it on.
00:09:24Babe, I know you want me.
00:09:25You're gross!
00:09:26Just talk to that stupid boyfriend of yours already.
00:09:27There's no sense in putting it off any longer.
00:09:29God, don't be in such a rush.
00:09:30He's just my boyfriend.
00:09:31It's not like I'm married to him or something.
00:09:33Plus, it's more exciting this way, right?
00:09:35Fair point.
00:09:35That one time you forgot your ID
00:09:36and we couldn't book the hotel room,
00:09:38it was your dumbass boy tool who came to pick you up.
00:09:41I can wait to bring Grace to mom and dad.
00:09:43Derek, we should really do this somewhere else.
00:09:46What if he comes back?
00:09:47See?
00:09:47Nothing to be afraid of.
00:09:48That loser just got fired from gray tech
00:09:50and banned across the industry.
00:09:52If he was still lead programmer,
00:09:53I might fear him a little bit,
00:09:54but now he's just some jobless schmuck.
00:10:05Eli, why are you home so early?
00:10:07Grace, what are you doing?
00:10:09Well, if it isn't Mr. Workaholic,
00:10:11we're actually in the middle of something.
00:10:14So why don't you wait outside for us to finish?
00:10:17Don't worry.
00:10:18I'll be quick.
00:10:19Come on, Elijah.
00:10:21How much longer are you going to keep fooling yourself?
00:10:23Grace, why are you treating me like this
00:10:24after all I've done for you?
00:10:26What exactly have you done for me?
00:10:28I bet you can't even tell me one single thing
00:10:29that you did for me.
00:10:30You see that bag?
00:10:31Derek spent 100 grand on it for me.
00:10:33Did you ever get me anything that nice?
00:10:34Material objects don't prove a person's love?
00:10:37Eli, as far as I know, you're unemployed.
00:10:38You can't even put food on the table,
00:10:40so don't come to me with these abstract muses on love.
00:10:44Face it.
00:10:44You're a capital L loser.
00:10:46A beauty like Grace needs a real man in her life.
00:10:50But you?
00:10:51You're a fucking joke.
00:10:53Yeah, Derek's dad is Rick Henderson,
00:10:55vice president of Eagle Solutions,
00:10:57a subsidiary of the second biggest tech company
00:10:59in the country.
00:11:01That means Derek has superior DNA.
00:11:03Can you blame me for choosing him?
00:11:05Grace, our love?
00:11:08Does it really mean nothing to you?
00:11:10Love?
00:11:11Can love put me in a mansion or a convertible?
00:11:13Can love give me the life I've always dreamed of?
00:11:15Derek is the only one who can offer that.
00:11:17Elisha, I never want to see you again.
00:11:20Alright, I guess you've shown me your true colors.
00:11:23Starting today, let's go our separate ways
00:11:24and forget we ever happened.
00:11:26But don't come crying if this decision
00:11:27comes back to bite you!
00:11:29Crying?
00:11:29Over you?
00:11:30Please, you're not worth a single tear.
00:11:33Elijah Green really made a run for it?
00:11:35God, that guy is something else.
00:11:38May, make sure he doesn't get off easy.
00:11:40Of course, I won't disappoint you.
00:11:43Don't worry, Miss Gray.
00:11:45Elijah has a surnamo of trouble heading his way.
00:11:49How about this?
00:11:50Grace technically remains your girlfriend,
00:11:53but you can't stop me when I want to see her.
00:11:55The thrill of stealing her from you is just too addicting.
00:11:58Derek, you're so naughty.
00:12:00It's fine, I don't want her anymore.
00:12:02Enjoy my sloppy seconds.
00:12:04And mark my words,
00:12:05I'm going to get even with you fools one day.
00:12:09So you're going to get even, huh?
00:12:11We'll see about that, Elijah.
00:12:14Elijah said he'd be back for the holidays,
00:12:17but it's Christmas Day
00:12:18and there's still no sign of him.
00:12:23Sadie, get out here!
00:12:30Merry Christmas, Stephen.
00:12:32Christmas, my ass.
00:12:33I'm here for the money you owe me.
00:12:34You know how things are with Mark right now.
00:12:36We're doing our best.
00:12:38Can you just...
00:12:38Sadie, spare me the sorry excuses.
00:12:40I already did you a favor by not showing up on Thanksgiving.
00:12:42Now I've run out of patience.
00:12:44I know, but we just don't have the money yet.
00:12:50You don't have the money, huh?
00:12:52No sweat.
00:12:54I've got an idea.
00:12:55What kind of idea?
00:12:56Dad, doesn't Uncle Mark owe us 100,000 bucks?
00:12:59Get this,
00:13:00Elijah pissed off Derek
00:13:01and Derek asked us to get back at him.
00:13:03He said if we do a good job,
00:13:04he'll give us a million dollar reward.
00:13:08That's awesome!
00:13:08Your son just has to kill someone.
00:13:13Kill someone?
00:13:15If you agree,
00:13:16I'll write off your debt
00:13:17and you'll get a million dollar reward.
00:13:20He just has to kill one person.
00:13:22Plus, a family like yours
00:13:23can't afford to be picky right now.
00:13:25Nora?
00:13:26That would be Ms. Nora Green,
00:13:27the newest sales manager at Eagle Solutions,
00:13:29a subsidiary of the famous Eagle Tech.
00:13:31A woman with a very promising career ahead of her.
00:13:33This is a contract from Derek Henderson,
00:13:35son of Rick Henderson.
00:13:36These are the terms.
00:13:37They have an enemy that they need to disappear.
00:13:39If Elijah can take him out,
00:13:40the Hendersons will give you
00:13:41one million dollars as a reward.
00:13:43It's a sweet deal.
00:13:45Sign the contract while you still can.
00:13:49Nora, how could you be so cruel?
00:13:51You're asking Eli to kill somebody?
00:13:54Who knows?
00:13:54Maybe it's his calling to be a hitman.
00:13:56Plus, if Elijah gains the respect
00:13:58of the Henderson family,
00:14:00you guys are set for life.
00:14:01Nora, Steven,
00:14:02please don't ask this of us.
00:14:04Eli wouldn't hurt a fly.
00:14:05You haven't seen him for three years.
00:14:06He could have changed for all you know.
00:14:08Just sign the contract
00:14:09and you'll get to spend your old life in peace.
00:14:10Please, just wait a little longer for the money.
00:14:12Eli told me he's bringing his girlfriend
00:14:14back for Christmas this year.
00:14:15He'll think of something.
00:14:20Sadie, show some common sense.
00:14:22Elijah's just a child in an adult body.
00:14:24Why are you still holding out hope for him?
00:14:26No, he's really coming back this time.
00:14:28He called me yesterday
00:14:29and he told me he was coming home.
00:14:31Are you signing or not, you old hag?
00:14:33Don't make me get my hands dirty.
00:14:35I'm not turning my son into a murderer.
00:14:39All right, you wrinkly bitch.
00:14:41Let's see what you'll choose,
00:14:42your son or your life.
00:14:44Oh!
00:14:48Let go of my mom!
00:14:53Mom, are you okay?
00:14:56I'm fine, Eli.
00:14:58I'm just happy to see you.
00:15:02It's Christmas.
00:15:03Shouldn't you be at home celebrating?
00:15:05Look who the cat dragged in.
00:15:06You finally decided to show up, huh?
00:15:08And not even a long time no see Uncle Stephen
00:15:10or a how-have-you-been Uncle Stephen?
00:15:11Must have got those manners from your mother.
00:15:14Eli just got back
00:15:16and he's probably cold after the trip.
00:15:19Why don't we take things inside?
00:15:20Huh.
00:15:29Dad, I had no idea you were so sick.
00:15:31Why didn't you tell me?
00:15:34One day he got sick out of the blue
00:15:36since around Thanksgiving last year.
00:15:38Here, they're homemade.
00:15:40I don't need your fake hospitality.
00:15:42Let's cut to the chase.
00:15:43Elijah, your mother owes me 500,000 bucks
00:15:46and she said you'd have it when you came back.
00:15:48Come on, pay up!
00:15:49Mom, what's this about?
00:15:51Why do you owe Uncle Stephen so much money?
00:15:53Eli, this whole thing is such a mess.
00:15:55Last fall, your father needed life-saving surgery
00:15:57and I had to borrow the money from Stephen.
00:15:59But I never thought he would-
00:16:01How did 100 grand turn into 500?
00:16:02You're taking advantage of my mother.
00:16:04This is extortion!
00:16:04Technically, it should be a lot more than 500.
00:16:07That's with a family discount included.
00:16:08I'm trying to make things easier.
00:16:10You're hiking up the interest rate.
00:16:11This is against the law.
00:16:13Against the law?
00:16:14Around here, I am the law.
00:16:15Elijah, this isn't a matter of right and wrong.
00:16:18It's simple.
00:16:18Either you give me the money
00:16:19or you're carrying out a hit for the Henderson family.
00:16:27Your uncle told me that if we don't give them the money,
00:16:30they're going to force you to kill an enemy of the Henderson family.
00:16:33What?
00:16:34They want to turn me into a hitman?
00:16:36I refuse to comply with such an outrageous arrangement.
00:16:39We're taking this to court.
00:16:40Please, don't be so naive.
00:16:42I forgot to tell you.
00:16:43I've been promoted to sales manager of Eagle Solutions.
00:16:45With the type of lawyer I can afford, you wouldn't stand a chance.
00:16:48That's right.
00:16:49Not to mention, we've got the Hendersons in our corner
00:16:51and their son is on excellent terms with Nora.
00:16:53We're basically untouchable around here.
00:16:55The Henderson's son?
00:16:57You mean Derek Henderson?
00:16:57I should have figured you were running in the same circles.
00:17:00Does the president of Eagle Solutions know about what you're doing?
00:17:03How about Eagle Tech's CEO, John Eagle?
00:17:05Wow, you've really done your homework.
00:17:06But no amount of knowledge can make up for the fact that you're a penniless loser.
00:17:13Breaking news.
00:17:14In an unexpected turn of events at the world-famous company Gray Tech,
00:17:18renowned lead programmer Elijah Green has been fired after violating company policy.
00:17:21They will be considered a mortal enemy.
00:17:23Gray Tech's lead programmer is also named Elijah Green.
00:17:26And he just got fired.
00:17:27Elijah, are they talking about you?
00:17:29That's right, it's me.
00:17:30Is it true what they said on the news?
00:17:34Don't worry, mom.
00:17:36It's just a small setback.
00:17:38I'll be fine.
00:17:39Elijah, if you've got any sense in you, you'll hurry up and sign that contract.
00:17:42Don't worry, mom and dad.
00:17:44Sign it.
00:17:44And your mom and dad will get a million dollar reward.
00:17:48Otherwise, if you die one day and your parents have no one to support them,
00:17:52they'll end up begging on the streets.
00:17:53I'm not killing someone.
00:17:55As for the money, all I can do is pay you back the 100 grand at a normal interest rate.
00:18:00I'm trying to help you.
00:18:02The least you could do is show a little gratitude.
00:18:04You need to get one thing straight.
00:18:05I'm not some pussover that you can manipulate as you please.
00:18:08And you need to get one thing straight.
00:18:10Eagle Tech is the second biggest tech company in the world.
00:18:13If you turn down the Henderson family, they have a million ways to make you disappear.
00:18:18Is that a threat?
00:18:20Nora, I thought you'd have this taken care of by now.
00:18:27Derek, Merry Christmas.
00:18:30I didn't know you were going to come all the way here.
00:18:33Merry Christmas, Mr. Henderson.
00:18:34I'm Nora's father, Steven.
00:18:36My brother's family here are an ungrateful bunch.
00:18:38They even had the nerve to reject your offer.
00:18:40I thought you'd know better than to say no to the Henderson family.
00:18:42You again, huh?
00:18:43I knew you were a scumbag, but this is a whole new extreme.
00:18:46Wait, you two know each other?
00:18:48Of course we do.
00:18:49I can't seem to escape this guy lately.
00:18:51Yeah, I know this chump.
00:18:52Matter of fact, I was just at his place yesterday, having some fun with his girlfriend.
00:18:58Derek, you're such a bad boy.
00:19:01Relax.
00:19:02She'll never take your place in my heart.
00:19:05Get out of my house!
00:19:06If you don't leave, I'm calling the cops!
00:19:08Go ahead, call them.
00:19:09Once they see I'm involved, it's game over for you, bud.
00:19:13Elijah, you might as well sign the contract now.
00:19:15If Derek's in a good mood, he might even give your parents a little extra cash.
00:19:19Yes, not a bad idea.
00:19:20If you sign now, I'll fork out two million.
00:19:22How about that?
00:19:23Elijah, see how considerate Mr. Henderson is being?
00:19:25You'd have to be a fool to turn down that offer.
00:19:27This is unbelievable!
00:19:29You clowns are no better than animals!
00:19:31I'm going to bring you to justice!
00:19:32You aren't going to do jack shit!
00:19:34Guys, I've had it with this ungrateful bastard!
00:19:37Trash the room, now!
00:19:40Eli, maybe you should just sign it.
00:19:43That person they want you to kill is probably corrupt and evil anyway, and it'll save our family.
00:19:48I'm not doing it.
00:19:49I'll cut my own hand off before I sign that paper.
00:19:51Then, what should we do?
00:19:53Indeed, what should we do?
00:19:55You know, this lady might be past her prime, but she still has a certain charm about her.
00:20:02Tell you what, if you come over here and kiss me right here, we can forget about this contract.
00:20:07Oh, and I get to use my tongue.
00:20:10God, Derek, you really have no chill.
00:20:15Sadie, this is your last chance.
00:20:17Give Derek what he wants.
00:20:18And not only will Elijah not have to kill anyone, I won't ask you to pay me back.
00:20:22You best think long and hard.
00:20:24Come on.
00:20:25I'm ready for you.
00:20:26Leave my mother out of this, you filthy swine!
00:20:30Fine.
00:20:31Let's see how much longer you can resist.
00:20:33Guys, bring the old man over here!
00:20:40Keep your hands off my dad!
00:20:43You pigs!
00:20:44Let go of my dad before I beat your asses!
00:20:50Please stop!
00:20:51You'll hurt him, I'm begging you!
00:20:52What, you think I was joking around?
00:20:55Do what I said, and I'll let your crippled husband and your low-life son off the hook.
00:21:00All right, I'll do it.
00:21:03Mom, no!
00:21:04Don't do it!
00:21:05Mom, stop!
00:21:06You can't let them win!
00:21:08Mom!
00:21:13Nora!
00:21:13Have you lost your conscience?
00:21:15She's your aunt!
00:21:16Are you really just gonna stand here and watch this guy assault her?
00:21:19Please, all we share is a last name.
00:21:21If she gets assaulted, that's on you!
00:21:23If you had any status at all, no one would dare touch her.
00:21:25You're sick!
00:21:26You care more about money and power than your own kin!
00:21:30Oh, come on.
00:21:31What do I get from being your kin anyway?
00:21:33You and your parents are dead to me.
00:21:35If Derek touches my mother, I'm gonna make you all suffer!
00:21:39And just how do you plan to do that?
00:21:41I could make sweet love to your mother right in front of you,
00:21:44and there'd be nothing you could do to stop me.
00:21:47No!
00:21:53Hello?
00:21:54Is Elijah home?
00:21:56Ah, Miss Cross, what an unexpected pleasure this is!
00:21:58Mr. Sky and Mr. Lyons as well!
00:22:01On Christmas Day, nonetheless!
00:22:03Miss Cross, are you the Miss Cross from Eagle Tech?
00:22:08You and these two gentlemen, please, you have to help my son, Elijah!
00:22:14You have to save our family!
00:22:27Mrs. Cross, I'm begging you, please, help Elisha, please!
00:22:33Just calm down.
00:22:34Calm down and let's talk, okay?
00:22:37What are you looking at, old Furt?
00:22:38Crying about your problems to Miss Cross won't change anything.
00:22:41Mr. Henderson, I think you owe us an explanation.
00:22:43You just showed up at their house looking for trouble.
00:22:46It's Christmas, for Christ's sake.
00:22:48Miss Cross, what are you suggesting?
00:22:50This family owes a fat stack of cash to my girlfriend, and they're refusing to return it.
00:22:53I just came here to support her.
00:22:56Miss Cross, uh, Merry Christmas.
00:23:00I'm Nora Green, sales manager at Eagle Solutions.
00:23:03There have been some misunderstandings between my family and Elijah's, and we're trying to sort things out.
00:23:08The thing is, uh, last year, my father's brother, Mark, needed an emergency procedure, so we lent them 100 grand.
00:23:16Fast forward to now, and not only have they still not paid us back, they're accusing us of extortion.
00:23:22Let's get the facts straight.
00:23:23You lent us 100 grand, and now you're asking for 500.
00:23:27How is that not extortion?
00:23:29Plus, you're trying to force me to kill somebody, which is illegal.
00:23:34What?
00:23:35This is starting to get weird.
00:23:37Miss Cross, they're the ones who owe us money.
00:23:39Let's not act like they have the moral high ground here.
00:23:42I offered them a million dollars in exchange for Elijah eliminating one of my enemies.
00:23:46He'd never run into that kind of money if it wasn't for me.
00:23:48Consider it an act of charity.
00:23:50Exactly. Derek's trying to do the right thing, but this stubborn bastard Elijah keeps rejecting the offer.
00:23:55This is an egregious offense to Derek, Eagle Tech, and everyone in our circle.
00:23:59So today, we came here to remind these ungrateful scum what happens when you mess with people in power!
00:24:09Bring that scroundrel over here, and get him to apologize to Miss Cross and the others.
00:24:15Enough! Mr. Lyons, got anything to say?
00:24:19Yeah, I never knew the son of a measly vice plate president could speak for all people in power.
00:24:23You learn something new every day!
00:24:27Hear that? You're a joke to us.
00:24:31Mr. Henderson, how long are you going to keep stirring shit up?
00:24:34Miss Cross, why did you just hit Derek?
00:24:37The ones you should be hitting are Elijah and...
00:24:39Quiet!
00:24:40Do you even know who you're messing with?
00:24:41Elijah's the former lead programmer at Grey Tech.
00:24:43He could pay you back tenfold if he wanted.
00:24:45And if you think you can turn him into a hitman for a million bucks, you're living in a fantasy
00:24:49land.
00:24:50But how is that possible?
00:24:51Elijah's just some community college grad.
00:24:53How could he get a high-ranking job at the world's top tech company?
00:24:56What, you think I'm lying?
00:24:57Derek, please tell me you at least knew where Elijah worked.
00:25:00Well, I...
00:25:02Why is Miss Cross siding with Elijah?
00:25:04Whatever, better just go along with it for now.
00:25:06I can always deal with Elijah later.
00:25:11You liar!
00:25:11You were just using me this whole time!
00:25:17Elijah, Mr. and Mrs. Greens, I sincerely apologize for my rashness today.
00:25:21Nora set a trap for me, and I fell right into it.
00:25:23I shouldn't have tried to force you to sign that contract.
00:25:25I hope you can forgive me.
00:25:30Derek, why are you...
00:25:34Why am I what?
00:25:36Nora, I can't support someone who has no respect for family and who tries to hurt their own cousin.
00:25:42You're heartless.
00:25:44Mrs. Cross, what do you suggest we do with these two snakes?
00:25:49Nora, you're morally bankrupt.
00:25:51You'll be immediately removed from your position and will never work for us again.
00:25:55As for your father, he'll be blacklisted across all Eagle companies,
00:25:59and all his current projects will be canceled at once.
00:26:03Elok, please, you and I are family.
00:26:05Tell Miss Cross not to fire me.
00:26:06I need this job.
00:26:07Huh, now we're family.
00:26:09Didn't you just say that my parents and I are dead to you?
00:26:11Eli, I screwed up.
00:26:13I don't know what possessed me to say such a terrible thing.
00:26:15Let's just forget I ever said it, okay?
00:26:17Please?
00:26:17Listen, Eli, we got carried away.
00:26:19You don't need to pay us back today.
00:26:21Matter of fact, you can return the money whenever you want,
00:26:23and I won't charge interest.
00:26:25Elijah, I'll pay them back for you.
00:26:27No, Elijah, please allow me.
00:26:29I'd be happy to pay off your debt as well.
00:26:32What's going on?
00:26:33All of them are siding with Elijah?
00:26:35Isn't he just a jobless nobody now?
00:26:37This is insane.
00:26:39Elijah must be wielding some serious power behind the scenes.
00:26:42Why else would they be sucking up to him like this?
00:26:47Aunt Sadie, let's just call that $100,000 a gift from my dad and I.
00:26:52You don't have to pay us back.
00:26:54Just get Elijah to tell Mrs. Cross not to fire me.
00:26:57Please, I'm your niece.
00:27:04That's right, we're family.
00:27:06We know Mark has had a rough year, so let's just call it even.
00:27:10Covering Mark's surgery was my responsibility as his older brother.
00:27:15Eli, go on.
00:27:16You ought to put in a good word for them.
00:27:20Did you forget everything that just happened?
00:27:23If Ava and the others didn't show up, I'd probably be dead right now.
00:27:29And you and Dad would still be getting tortured and humiliated.
00:27:36Eli, if you just tell Mrs. Cross not to fire my dad and I,
00:27:40we'll forget about the money.
00:27:42Please, this is all I ask of you.
00:27:46I might not have a job now, but I still have my integrity.
00:27:50I could care less about the money.
00:27:52You've already lost my trust.
00:27:54Eli, please forgive us just this once.
00:27:57I'm begging you, it won't happen again.
00:28:00Shut up.
00:28:02If you were smart, you'd get out of here before Elijah loses his cool.
00:28:06Unless you enjoy embarrassing yourselves like this.
00:28:15Stop right there.
00:28:17Mr. Green isn't done with you yet.
00:28:21Mr. Green is a respected figure in the tech world.
00:28:24You don't just get a free pass to leave after terrorizing him and his family.
00:28:28Mr. Sky, Mr. Lyons.
00:28:30I'm deeply sorry for what I did to Elijah.
00:28:32I promised to learn from my mistakes.
00:28:36Mr. Green,
00:28:38what should we do with this pathetic fool?
00:28:44The first one was for abusing my mom.
00:28:47The second was for exiting my dad.
00:28:51And the third was for trying to make me into a hitman.
00:28:54But you and I aren't finished.
00:28:55That was just the first step of my revenge.
00:28:58Now get out.
00:29:00Elijah, you don't just hit me and get away with it.
00:29:03Next time I see you,
00:29:04you're dead.
00:29:09Let's put that mess behind us.
00:29:10I'd like to formally offer you a job at Eagle Tech.
00:29:12In fact, we'd like to make you our new lead programmer.
00:29:14So would we.
00:29:15And Lyons Tech too.
00:29:16Elijah, this is Eagle Tech's brand new employees only credit card
00:29:19with a spending limit of $100 million.
00:29:21Consider it a welcome gift from us.
00:29:23Not bad, Ms. Cross.
00:29:24$100 million is hard to top.
00:29:25But Mr. Green, Sky Tech is no slouch either.
00:29:27If you agree to my offer, I'll give you a $150 million hiring bonus.
00:29:30Make no mistake, Mr. Green.
00:29:31Lyons Tech would be just as honored to have you.
00:29:32I'll have $200 million in your pocket by the end of the day.
00:29:34Listen, I'm humbled by your generosity,
00:29:36and I'm very grateful for your help today.
00:29:38But I really can't accept all that money.
00:29:39Elijah, I know your father's health costs are piling up.
00:29:43Use this to cover them.
00:29:44You can give it back when your finances are more stapled.
00:29:46I guess I'll take it then.
00:29:49Thanks, Ava.
00:29:50So that means you accept my offer, right?
00:29:52You'll join Eagle Tech?
00:29:53Damn, should have started recruiting him sooner.
00:29:56I know.
00:29:56Guess she beat us to it.
00:29:58Mr. Sky, Mr. Lyons, I won't forget your kindness.
00:30:01We won't be working together now,
00:30:02but I do hope our paths cross in the future.
00:30:04If that's the way you feel, then I didn't come here for nothing.
00:30:06Thank you, Mr. Green.
00:30:07Yes, thank you, Mr. Green.
00:30:08I'll arrange a welcome banquet for you at the Imperial Hotel this evening.
00:30:11Ava, you've been very good to me, but a banquet would be a bit much.
00:30:14No, I'm not changing my mind.
00:30:16I want the whole world to know that Elijah Green is Eagle Tech's new lead programmer.
00:30:22All right, fine.
00:30:23But nothing too fancy, all right?
00:30:25Deal.
00:30:26It'll be simple but elegant.
00:30:27You're going to love it.
00:30:28Then it's a plan.
00:30:28Well, do you have anything else going on today?
00:30:32It's my first time home in three years.
00:30:34I just want to spend time at home with my parents.
00:30:36Eli, why don't we pay a visit to my side of the family today?
00:30:39Grandpa Jim is always talking about you these days, and who knows when you'll be back next?
00:30:43Don't we usually visit them on the day after Christmas?
00:30:44Yes, but yesterday your Uncle Frank told me that all your aunts are visiting as well.
00:30:48He said that if you came back, we should get together today.
00:30:51Nora, I'm sorry for how I acted earlier.
00:30:53I was just thinking on the fly and improvising.
00:30:56Derek, you have to help.
00:30:58I can't lose that job.
00:30:59It means everything to me.
00:31:01Derek, my family's having a Christmas party later.
00:31:03You should come.
00:31:04Everyone wants to see you.
00:31:05Of course, I'll be there.
00:31:07Was that the latest side cheek trying to steal you away from me?
00:31:10Just a friend inviting me to her Christmas gathering.
00:31:13Don't worry, Nora.
00:31:13I'll find a way to get you back your sales manager position.
00:31:16Ava Cross, you stood up for Elijah, and now you'll go down with him too.
00:31:24Long time no see, everybody.
00:31:27Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.
00:31:29Wow, look who it is.
00:31:30How long has it been?
00:31:31We thought you'd forgotten about us.
00:31:35What flavor are those?
00:31:36Horse shit?
00:31:38Seriously, Eli, that's the best you can do after not showing up for three years?
00:31:41Should have saved your stupid cookies for Santa.
00:31:43I have a bird feeder in my yard.
00:31:45Maybe I'll crumble a few of them up to feed to the crows.
00:31:49As for the rest, they'll make a nice meal for some homeless guy on the street.
00:31:53These are for Grandpa Jim, so let's let him be the judge.
00:31:57Why don't we get him to come out and try one?
00:32:03Of course you offer them to the old man who's lost all his taste bubs.
00:32:06Plus, why take a bite when we can smell the stench from over here?
00:32:10Man, bringing homemade cookies because you're short on cash is one thing, but when you do
00:32:13that and pretend to make a whole grand entrance, you look pretty sad.
00:32:18See how stale they look?
00:32:19Probably weeks old already.
00:32:21He's trying to give Grandpa Jim diarrhea.
00:32:23Fine.
00:32:23You can throw them out.
00:32:25Let's see how Grandpa Jim reacts when he hears you dumped his expensive Christmas gift in
00:32:29the trap.
00:32:30Enough games, Eli.
00:32:31Shut up and stop playing dumb.
00:32:33Unbelievable.
00:32:34This boy is an embarrassment to the whole family.
00:32:40Someone help.
00:32:41No, I lost the game.
00:32:42Gabe, where are your manners?
00:32:44Not even going to say hello?
00:32:45This is your Aunt Sadie, your Uncle Mark, and your cousin Elijah.
00:32:49Are you that loser cousin my parents are always talking about?
00:32:57Merry Christmas!
00:32:58So, where's my present?
00:33:02Sorry, I came here in a rush, so I couldn't bring gifts for everyone.
00:33:06How about I get an App Store gift card and send it to you later?
00:33:09You're fooling no one, Eli.
00:33:11If you're broke, just say it, instead of making empty promises to a kid.
00:33:15Yeah, no one wants a $5 gift card from you anyway.
00:33:18My other cousins gave me super cool gifts.
00:33:21You're the only stingy one.
00:33:23Just because I didn't bring gifts doesn't mean I'm broke.
00:33:27I'll go to the bank later today and withdraw $50,000, all for you.
00:33:31Oh, and I see you're a gamer.
00:33:33We can stop by the mall and I'll get you a laptop.
00:33:35Sweet!
00:33:36Thanks, cuz!
00:33:36You're the best!
00:33:40Nice try, Eli.
00:33:42Eagle Tech doesn't even make credit cards.
00:33:44Monopoly money is probably worth more than this shit.
00:33:47Typical Eli, pulling a dumb trick and thinking we'll fall for it.
00:33:55First it was the month-old cookies, now it's a fake credit card.
00:33:58Jesus, how gullible do you think we are?
00:34:00Hey, you.
00:34:01I've never faked a thing.
00:34:03You guys just don't know what's real.
00:34:17Hey, kids.
00:34:18Where are your parents?
00:34:19My cousin just gave me $50,000 for Christmas.
00:34:22Show me your most expensive laptops.
00:34:28This is our flagship model, perfect for gamers.
00:34:31It's on sale for $10,000.
00:34:33How many do you want?
00:34:34I'll take four.
00:34:36Four?
00:34:36Well, all right.
00:34:37I'll grab them for you.
00:34:42I'm sick of your shit, Eli.
00:34:43You're pushing $30,000 with nothing to show for it, yet you still have the nerve to talk back to
00:34:47us.
00:34:50If you make a scene here and ruin Christmas for Grandpa Jim, you'll have no one else to blame.
00:34:55Frank, Eli is telling the truth.
00:34:57What, so you're rich now?
00:34:59You're telling me that card is real and those cookies are top quality?
00:35:02Yes.
00:35:03Sadie, you raised a good-for-nothing bastard.
00:35:06If I don't discipline him myself, it's a matter of time before he gets into trouble and disgraces our name.
00:35:12Elijah, I need you to swear on your mother's life that you will never lie to us again.
00:35:15Otherwise, the whole Green family, including your mother and father, will disown you.
00:35:21Uncle Frank, at least have the decency to present some evidence before you declare me a criminal.
00:35:27Swallow your pride, Elijah.
00:35:28How hard is it to just fess up for once?
00:35:30Yeah, at this rate, you'll never learn from your mistake.
00:35:32Why should I apologize?
00:35:33I didn't do anything.
00:35:37Guys, he really didn't do anything.
00:35:40Mom, don't bother trying to explain.
00:35:42It's a waste of breath.
00:35:44You should know we're just saying this for your own good.
00:35:48Elijah, you've always been the black sheep of the Green family.
00:35:51You're not leaving today until you confess to your lies.
00:35:59And what if I don't confess?
00:36:00What are you going to do, beat me?
00:36:04I have a better idea.
00:36:05Since you won't budge, let's see if your father is just as stubborn.
00:36:09George, Tony, bring the old man over here and get him to apologize on behalf of his son.
00:36:15Stay away from my husband.
00:36:17Eli, just say you're sorry and get it over with.
00:36:25Hey, where the hell were you just now?
00:36:26What's in that bag?
00:36:27You know how cousin Elijah promised to buy me a laptop?
00:36:30I just went to the store.
00:36:31Eli, look what you did.
00:36:32You made him go out all by himself.
00:36:34He could have got robbed or even kidnapped.
00:36:37If my grandson got hurt because of your fake credit card, I would bury you alive.
00:36:41Grandpa, no one tried to hurt me.
00:36:43And the card isn't fake.
00:36:44Don't be mean to Elijah.
00:36:45He's my favorite cousin.
00:36:46Gabe, what are you talking about?
00:36:47Aunt Emma, I'm telling the truth.
00:36:50Look, I bought four laptops.
00:36:59This is the latest Blue Light Max Pro.
00:37:02They're $10,000 each.
00:37:13They're real laptops.
00:37:17They're real, all right.
00:37:20Eli, where'd you get all this money?
00:37:21You're spending it like it grows on trees.
00:37:23I know, right?
00:37:24Eli, where are you working now?
00:37:26If there are any openings, you should hook me up.
00:37:28Yeah, Eli, you know, it gets lonely at the top if you don't take your family with you.
00:37:34Guys, don't get too excited.
00:37:36I'm unemployed right now.
00:37:37Wait, you're out of work?
00:37:39Then why the hell did you spend what little savings you have on Gabe's gift?
00:37:43Are you trying to starve to death?
00:37:45Yeah, the last thing Gabe needs is a role model like you.
00:37:47He should be learning how to spend responsibly.
00:37:50Eli, you're hopeless.
00:37:52Your mother has bent over backwards taking care of your father.
00:37:55The least you could do is offer them some support.
00:37:57Dad, don't say that.
00:37:59For all we know, he might actually be loaded.
00:38:01Right, Eli?
00:38:02Right, indeed.
00:38:03$40,000 on a gift is nothing to me.
00:38:05Still trying to fool us, huh?
00:38:07Come on, let's cut the chit-chat.
00:38:08Eli, go return the laptops.
00:38:10We don't want your family to come begging at our door later.
00:38:12Good idea.
00:38:13Take them back to the store.
00:38:14You clearly can't afford them.
00:38:16And don't ask for help when money gets tight.
00:38:19No, stop!
00:38:23Cousin Elijah gave them to me!
00:38:26Guys, don't return them.
00:38:28They're my gift to Gabe.
00:38:30Didn't I tell you?
00:38:32$40,000 is nothing to me.
00:38:38Elijah!
00:38:39Here, they're yours.
00:38:41This is to make up for all the years that Elijah didn't get you anything.
00:38:44Thanks, Aunt Sadie.
00:38:45Thanks, Cousin Elijah.
00:38:46Elijah!
00:38:48Eli, you're almost 30 now.
00:38:50What are your plans for next year?
00:38:53Maybe George can help you find a job.
00:38:55I'm currently the head of purchasing at Eagle Solutions.
00:38:59Seeing as you were very generous to my son, I suppose I owe you one.
00:39:03Tony, are you guys hiring in the security department?
00:39:05I think Eli could make a great security guard.
00:39:08With a build like his?
00:39:09Not sure if he's cut out for it.
00:39:11Don't worry about me, guys.
00:39:13I just left my job at Gray Tech, so Eagle Seclorities would be a step down anyway.
00:39:17I can chart my own path.
00:39:18Eli, we're family.
00:39:19You don't need to lie to us about your resume.
00:39:21Eagle Tech employees come from Ivy League schools, not community colleges.
00:39:25They wouldn't hire you if their lives depended on it.
00:39:27Look, if you just apologized for your lies like we asked,
00:39:30I'd be happy to do you a favor and get you a job as a security guard.
00:39:35Hurry up and say you're sorry.
00:39:37You know how many people would kill for a job at Eagle Solutions?
00:39:41If you don't take it, someone else will.
00:39:48If someone else wants the job, let them have it.
00:39:50I have better things to do.
00:39:52Who do you think you are?
00:39:54You should be grateful.
00:39:56Fine.
00:39:56I was joking anyway.
00:39:57No need to be so serious.
00:39:59Just don't expect the offer to stand next time.
00:40:02Yeah, when you're living in a tent on the streets.
00:40:04Don't say we didn't give you a chance.
00:40:07Let me think.
00:40:08When my dad got sick last year, did any of you pitch in for the surgery?
00:40:13Didn't think so.
00:40:15So don't suddenly pretend to care.
00:40:17Eli, to call you ungrateful would be an understatement.
00:40:21Tony gave you an opportunity and you spit in his face.
00:40:24What kind of man are you?
00:40:25Merry Christmas, everyone.
00:40:28Derek, you came.
00:40:34Merry Christmas, Mr. Henderson.
00:40:38Great to see you.
00:40:40Likewise.
00:40:42Eli, see the things Derek brought?
00:40:44This is what a proper guest looks like.
00:40:47You should be taking notes.
00:40:49Uncle Frank, these are just generic store-bought gifts.
00:40:52My mom and I spent hours making those cookies.
00:40:55Oh, stop patting yourself on the back.
00:40:58Do you ever think about how your actions reflect on your family?
00:41:02Your moldy cookies make us all look cheap.
00:41:05Don't get so worked up, Emma.
00:41:08Elijah will never measure up to someone of my stature.
00:41:11Mr. Henderson's right.
00:41:13He's young, rich, and handsome.
00:41:17Eli simply can't compete.
00:41:19Emma, keep a tight leash on Derek.
00:41:21Derek must be a long line of ladies waiting for him to be single.
00:41:24Tony has a point.
00:41:26Emma, as far as I know, Derek already has two other girlfriends.
00:41:30You better hope he likes you more than he likes them.
00:41:35Eli, don't you ever shut up.
00:41:37No one believes you anyway.
00:41:38I believe what you want, but I've already seen him with my ex and my other cousin.
00:41:41Get lost.
00:41:42You're just trying to ruin our relationship.
00:41:44Emma, you know you're the only one I love.
00:41:46All the other girls are just groupies who want in on my success.
00:41:49I've never even given them a second look.
00:41:52I know.
00:41:53I believe you, babe.
00:41:56Well, don't say I didn't warn you.
00:41:58I don't want to hear it.
00:41:59If you're just here to spread rumors, you can get the fuck out.
00:42:02What's all this fuss about?
00:42:03We should be enjoying ourselves.
00:42:05Grandpa, this is my boyfriend, Derek Henderson.
00:42:07His father is the vice president of Eagle Solutions.
00:42:09He came to wish us Merry Christmas.
00:42:13Pleasure to meet you.
00:42:14I'd like to wish a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and your family.
00:42:17Dad, Derek is also an Ivy League grad.
00:42:20He's truly a talented young man.
00:42:22I agree.
00:42:23I mean, the guy has three different girlfriends.
00:42:25It does take some talent to pull that off.
00:42:28Eli, enough with the slander.
00:42:30You're being a real Grinch this Christmas, you know that?
00:42:33Uncle Frank, I wish I was lying, but it's true.
00:42:35Get out, Eli.
00:42:37You're not welcome in this house.
00:42:41You're the ones who invited us here in the first place.
00:42:43But if you want us to leave, we'll gladly oblige.
00:42:46This is a shitty party anyway.
00:42:52Stop!
00:42:55I won't allow my family to fight over the holidays.
00:42:58Let's eat.
00:42:59You can settle your disputes later.
00:43:15This is a Pinot Noir that my father brought home from France.
00:43:19We've been saving it for a special occasion, so I brought it today.
00:43:24Here, to your health.
00:43:26Does anyone smell that?
00:43:28Where's that smell coming from?
00:43:30Grandpa, it's clearly that wine.
00:43:32Have a sip, Mr. Green.
00:43:34You'll love it.
00:43:38Where'd those come from?
00:43:40Oh, these are the stale gingerbread cookies that Elijah brought over.
00:43:43I was just about to throw them out.
00:43:46Let me try one.
00:43:57I know this taste.
00:43:59These aren't just any gingerbread cookies.
00:44:01They're made with a rare, highly refined molasses, straight from the jungles of South America.
00:44:06Cookies like these aren't cheap to make.
00:44:09Highly refined molasses?
00:44:11Really?
00:44:12And you almost threw them out!
00:44:17Grandpa, you must be confused.
00:44:19Even if they did taste good, where would Eli get such rare ingredients?
00:44:23What, you think I'm wrong?
00:44:25You think the old man's got dementia?
00:44:27The taste is unmistakable.
00:44:28How many batches did he bring?
00:44:30A whole bowl's full.
00:44:31There were dozens of them.
00:44:32I threw most of them out already, though.
00:44:35You threw the others out?
00:44:37Sure did.
00:44:39We've been eating Christmas cookies all week.
00:44:40Everyone's sick of them.
00:44:42You morons!
00:44:44A five-gallon tub of that molasses just sold at an auction for over a million dollars.
00:44:50Those cookies must have been worth at least a hundred grand!
00:44:53Yeah, I remember my dad saying something about that auction.
00:44:56A hundred grand, all down the drain.
00:44:58Eli, I didn't know that molasses was so expensive.
00:45:02Why didn't you tell them?
00:45:03I tried, but they wouldn't listen.
00:45:07What did I do to get stuck in a family full of idiots?
00:45:10Those cookies were world-class, and you wasted all of them!
00:45:15Grandpa, don't make such a mess.
00:45:17I spent hours cleaning up before the party.
00:45:19These other ones were made with an extra rare variety of Ceylon cinnamon
00:45:22that's even more expensive than the molasses.
00:45:24One small bag of this goes for at least three hundred grand!
00:45:27You're imbo-sals, all of you!
00:45:30Oh, this great mess.
00:45:34Eli, if you used such rare ingredients in these cookies,
00:45:37you shouldn't have let us throw them out.
00:45:39Or were you just trying to make us look bad?
00:45:41I tried, but you all just said they looked stale
00:45:43and that I was trying to give Grandpa Jim diarrhea.
00:45:47And if I recall correctly, you said I was a stain on the family name.
00:45:52Eli, you're an unemployed loser,
00:45:54so how did you get your hands on such precious ingredients?
00:45:56Be honest, you stole them, right?
00:45:58I got them as a gift.
00:45:59Come on, we're not that stupid.
00:46:00Why would anybody waste such expensive gifts on a nobody like you?
00:46:04Yeah, you probably stole them along with that credit card of yours.
00:46:07It's disgusting thinking we have a petty thief in the Green family.
00:46:14George, throwing away my cookies is one thing,
00:46:16but accusing me of theft is crossing the line.
00:46:18Just own up to your mistake and drop.
00:46:20I saw a bag of cinnamon and a jar of molasses in Miss Cross's office
00:46:22at the Eagle Solutions headquarters.
00:46:24She said she was giving them to a distinguished employee,
00:46:26yet somehow they showed up inside your cookies.
00:46:28This proves you stole them!
00:46:30Did you consider that maybe they were given to me by Mrs. Cross?
00:46:37As if you'd ever be worthy of a gift from Ava Cross.
00:46:40Fine, you don't have to believe me,
00:46:42but I know I'm in the right.
00:46:43George, what if it really was a gift from Miss Cross?
00:46:48What if Eli's telling the truth for once?
00:46:51Give me an update.
00:46:53All the pieces are in place.
00:46:54Let me check with someone on the ground.
00:47:00How are things going?
00:47:01I'm working on it.
00:47:02You mean it's not finished?
00:47:03I expect to see some results soon.
00:47:06I had him right where I wanted him until Ava Cross showed up.
00:47:10Ava Cross?
00:47:11President of Eagle Solutions?
00:47:13Yeah, her.
00:47:14Ma'am, there's been a little hiccup.
00:47:16Eagle Solutions President Ava Cross has interfered with our plan.
00:47:20Is Ava Cross trying to make an enemy of me?
00:47:22Not just you, I'm afraid.
00:47:24All of Grey Tech.
00:47:24It seems she wants to violate our blacklist order
00:47:26and hire Mr. Green so that Eagle Tech can compete with us.
00:47:29She can't get away with this.
00:47:31Have someone keep watch on Ava Cross.
00:47:33We can't have her meeting up with Mr. Greener again.
00:47:36Yes, ma'am.
00:47:39Keep an eye on Ava Cross and make sure she doesn't have any contact with Green.
00:47:47George, if Ms. Cross accuses Elijah of stealing from her,
00:47:50the consequences will be far-reaching.
00:47:52You should be careful.
00:47:54Yes, you're right.
00:47:55If Ms. Cross finds out what Elijah did,
00:47:57our whole family's done for.
00:47:58Tony, you're head of security at Eagle Solutions.
00:48:00You have to detain Elijah and hand him over for Mrs. Cross to deal with.
00:48:03That's the only way she'll forgive us.
00:48:05Yes, that's the only way.
00:48:07Guards!
00:48:11You can't just arrest him.
00:48:13That's illegal.
00:48:14What's illegal about arresting a thief?
00:48:17Guys, take him away.
00:48:20Don't touch him.
00:48:22Ms. Cross gave us that stuff.
00:48:24Derek was there.
00:48:25You're funny.
00:48:25If I was there, the only thing I would have seen is you stealing from her.
00:48:29Tony, Ms. Cross is a busy woman.
00:48:32She doesn't have time to handle trivial things like this.
00:48:34It's fine.
00:48:35I'll interrogate him on my own.
00:48:36And if he doesn't confess, I'll leave him there forever.
00:48:40Follow through on this, and you'll have a promotion waiting for you.
00:48:44I hope you're right!
00:48:46Take Eli to the interrogation room.
00:48:47Tony, don't do this.
00:48:49Derek can't be trusted.
00:48:51This morning, he came to our house and tried to force Eli to murder one of his enemies.
00:48:56Please!
00:48:56Are you stupid?
00:48:57Derek doesn't have enemies.
00:48:59Everybody loves him.
00:49:00I'm telling the truth!
00:49:02You can call Mrs. Cross and ask her.
00:49:08Old hag, shut your mouth or I'll have you arrested too.
00:49:12Alright.
00:49:13If you don't believe her, I'll call Ms. Cross myself.
00:49:22You should have known when to call it quit!
00:49:24Take this bastard away and make him regret ever fucking with me!
00:49:40What the?
00:49:44Is Elijah okay?
00:49:46I have to go check on him.
00:49:46I can't let him get into any trouble.
00:49:52No!
00:49:53Let him go!
00:49:56I need two more guards!
00:50:00Get this old woman and her crippled husband out of here.
00:50:04You're gonna pay for this, Tony!
00:50:06I'm just doing my job.
00:50:07You're the one who's gonna pay for your crimes.
00:50:13Derek, you sure about this?
00:50:14Now's not the time to get sentimental.
00:50:16We're upholding the law!
00:50:18But if Ms. Cross finds out...
00:50:20Relax.
00:50:21She won't.
00:50:21And even if she does, with me around, your family will be in good hands.
00:50:29Mr. Green?
00:50:31It's Ava Cross!
00:50:34I just wanted to stop by and wish you a Merry Christmas.
00:50:40Ms. Cross, Merry Christmas!
00:50:42Merry Christmas!
00:50:42Merry Christmas!
00:50:43Mr. Green, so good to see you!
00:50:45Ms. Cross, you're too kind.
00:50:48I should be the one going to visit you.
00:50:50Please, have a seat.
00:50:56Careful, it's hot.
00:51:01Merry Christmas!
00:51:02Mr. Henderson?
00:51:06Why are you here?
00:51:10Jim's granddaughter, Emma, and I are old college classmates.
00:51:12She invited me over today.
00:51:16You're a real social butterfly, aren't you, Mr. Henderson?
00:51:21Oh, not really.
00:51:22I keep a pretty small circle.
00:51:30Looks like you've got the whole family here today.
00:51:32What can I say?
00:51:33We're a tight-knit bunch.
00:51:35We take Christmas pretty seriously around here.
00:51:39I can tell by all those gifts.
00:51:41Yes, they brought them over this morning.
00:51:43Oh, and my nephew, Eli.
00:51:45Yeah, Eli.
00:51:48This is the fourth Christmas in a row he hasn't made at home.
00:51:52Hard to believe he's that busy with work.
00:51:55Emma, what are you saying?
00:51:56He was just here earlier, and he brought the most incredible gifts!
00:52:00So he just dropped off the gifts and then left?
00:52:02Doesn't sound like he's too welcome around here.
00:52:04Ms. Cross, my grandpa's memory is a bit fuzzy these days.
00:52:07Don't mind him.
00:52:08He seems pretty lucid to me.
00:52:09That's right!
00:52:10I'm still sharp as a tack!
00:52:12Eli was definitely here today.
00:52:15He brought two excellent batches of cookies.
00:52:17One made with an expensive variety of molasses,
00:52:20and the other with an extremely rare Ceylon cinnamon.
00:52:24Just when Tony was about to wipe Elisha off the face of the earth,
00:52:28Mrs. Cross had to show up again and intervene.
00:52:31Now the cat's almost out of the bag.
00:52:33George, if we just tell Ms. Cross the truth now,
00:52:35we can still save our skin.
00:52:38Mrs. Cross, to be honest,
00:52:41Elijah's cookies were made with ingredients that he stole from your office.
00:52:44But don't worry, head of security Tony Green has already taken him away for further questioning.
00:52:48What?
00:52:49You had Elijah taken away?
00:52:55George, what did you say?
00:52:56Did Eli steal those ingredients from Ms. Cross?
00:52:59He sure did.
00:53:00Your nephew's a thief.
00:53:02One of our own stealing from Ms. Cross?
00:53:05This could ruin our family's ties with Eagle Solutions.
00:53:08Yeah, this is bad.
00:53:09If Ms. Cross extends the punishment to the whole family, we could lose everything.
00:53:14Derek, Eagle Tech's new lead programmer, Elijah Green, just arrived at the Eagle Solutions office.
00:53:18Ms. Cross asked me to prepare a banquet for him.
00:53:20I need you to come help me.
00:53:26Relax.
00:53:28I'll protect you guys.
00:53:34Eli, tell me the truth.
00:53:36When exactly did you enter Ms. Cross's office and steal her things?
00:53:40And what else did you take besides those ingredients?
00:53:43You should really clarify this with Ms. Cross first.
00:53:46I don't want you to lose your job when she finds out you tortured an innocent guy.
00:53:52Motherfucker!
00:53:52Am I going to have to beat you bloody before you fess up?
00:53:56You're the one who's going to have some confessing to do.
00:53:57If you let me go now, I still might be willing to put in a good word for you with
00:54:01Ms. Cross.
00:54:01Don't you talk back to me!
00:54:03Looks like you won't learn a thing until you feel some pain.
00:54:07Ah!
00:54:11Sir, bad news.
00:54:12No bad news on Christmas!
00:54:15Get out and don't come back until you've got something good to tell me.
00:54:18I'm serious.
00:54:19There's a problem.
00:54:21Are you deaf?
00:54:22Talk to me when you have your shit together!
00:54:26Ms. Cross is here.
00:54:28Huh?
00:54:28Ms. Cross?
00:54:29But it's Christmas.
00:54:30What is she doing here?
00:54:34Oh, Ms. Cross!
00:54:35Didn't expect to see you here!
00:54:38Quiet, bitch!
00:54:39Make a fuss in front of Ms. Cross and I'll have to rough you up.
00:54:42Tony, what's going on here?
00:54:44Ms. Cross, this scumbag Elijah stole two extremely precious items from your office.
00:54:48I've just brought him here to get him to confess his crimes and make sure he didn't steal anything else
00:54:51of yours.
00:54:52And has he confessed to anything?
00:54:53This asshole's a tough cookie.
00:54:54Can't get him to talk.
00:54:55The funniest part is he said you gave him those things as a gift.
00:54:58Isn't that absurd?
00:55:00Don't worry, I'll make him regret what he did.
00:55:02No one gets away with stealing from our president.
00:55:05Ava, are all your employees like this?
00:55:07Acting on their own whims?
00:55:09Abusing their power?
00:55:10No wonder you guys are no match for gray tech.
00:55:12You've got a gang of hooblins working for you.
00:55:18You piece of shit, you can't talk to Ms. Cross like that!
00:55:21I ought to beat your head in right now!
00:55:26Stop!
00:55:30The real piece of shit here is you.
00:55:33Mrs. Cross, what did I do?
00:55:35Tony, what made you think you could lock up Elijah's family and lay hands on them?
00:55:40Ma'am, like I said, they stole some precious items of yours.
00:55:43You fool.
00:55:43Who says he stole anything?
00:55:45I gave those precious items to him as a gift.
00:55:47Now untie them and tell them you're sorry.
00:55:52Mr. and Mrs. Green, I'm terribly sorry.
00:55:55This must have been very distressing for you both.
00:55:57We're okay.
00:55:58Thank you, Ms. Cross.
00:55:59Er, uh, Eli, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have blamed you.
00:56:02I hope you can let this slide.
00:56:03I told you I didn't steal them and you ignored me.
00:56:05Ava, I'll let you deal with this chump however you see fit.
00:56:08Tony, you've been extremely reckless and you disregarded protocol.
00:56:12You pretty much broke every rule in the book.
00:56:14For that, you're fired.
00:56:15And I'll make sure no one else ever hires you.
00:56:21Eli, please, we're family.
00:56:23Tell Ms. Cross to reconsider.
00:56:25It won't happen again, I swear.
00:56:29Sadie, you're my last hope.
00:56:31Please, get them to change their minds.
00:56:33I need this job to take care of the wife and kids.
00:56:35We can't get by without it.
00:56:38Eli, Tony said some bad things to us, but he means well.
00:56:41He was just blinded by that jerk, Derek.
00:56:43Why don't you...
00:56:44Mom, stop defending him.
00:56:46So were we family when you tripped my mom,
00:56:48threatened to lock me up forever,
00:56:50and tried to beat my head in?
00:56:51Tony needs to be held accountable for his actions.
00:57:01If I'd known Eli was so close with Mrs. Cross,
00:57:03I would have taken his side.
00:57:04Now look at me.
00:57:12Shit!
00:57:12Our firewall's under attack!
00:57:14I'm locked out!
00:57:14Me too!
00:57:15At this rate, the server's gonna crash!
00:57:18Miss Gray, our server just crashed!
00:57:24What's going on?
00:57:25Is it those hackers again?
00:57:27Yes, ma'am, and they're back with vengeance.
00:57:28They were able to breach the firewall within seconds.
00:57:30If we don't act now, it'll be too late.
00:57:32We'll tell everyone to get to work!
00:57:34They're always boasting about how smart they are,
00:57:36so now's the time to fucking show it!
00:57:38Miss Gray, the R&D department is doing its best,
00:57:40but these hackers are on another level.
00:57:42It's almost impossible to stop.
00:57:43Useless shits!
00:57:44I pay them to get the job done when it pissed their pants most!
00:57:47Ma'am, how about getting Elijah to come back and help us?
00:57:49Elijah?
00:57:50That slacker I fired?
00:57:52What good would that do?
00:57:53Well, you may not have heard,
00:57:54but Elijah is the top hacker in the world.
00:57:56He might be the only one who can rescue us.
00:57:58Seriously?
00:57:59Then he's probably the one hacking us right now.
00:58:01Oh, we're not able to confirm that at the moment.
00:58:02Bring him to me now.
00:58:03Tell him if he doesn't help us, he's going to jail.
00:58:05Miss Gray, you just fired him yesterday.
00:58:07He probably won't be too thrilled by this request.
00:58:09He's the one who built our server, right?
00:58:11Then it's his problem to solve.
00:58:12Call him and tell him he's obligated to come fix this now.
00:58:15Ma'am, I suggest you contact your father and get his advice on this.
00:58:21Samantha, I heard the company's server crashed.
00:58:23What the hell is going on?
00:58:26Dad, shit's hit the fan.
00:58:28We're getting attacked by hackers,
00:58:30and our team can't do anything to stop it.
00:58:32What do you mean they can't stop it?
00:58:33Where's Elijah?
00:58:34If he's there, we've got nothing to worry about.
00:58:36I made a mistake.
00:58:38I feel like such an idiot.
00:58:39Yesterday, I had an argument with Elijah,
00:58:41and I fired him.
00:58:43You fired him?
00:58:44God damn it, Samantha!
00:58:45Eli is the most talented programmer in the world!
00:58:48Everything great tech has accomplished is thanks to him!
00:58:50Dad, you've got to be exaggerating.
00:58:52One single employee can't make that big a difference.
00:58:54You moron!
00:58:55If he's not important,
00:58:56then tell me why those hackers are destroying us as we speak!
00:58:59Elijah built the server?
00:59:01How do you know he didn't make it vulnerable on purpose?
00:59:03Dad, just give me some time and I'll set things straight.
00:59:05Silence!
00:59:06Apologize to Elijah and get him back on board now!
00:59:09If you can't do that,
00:59:10you're no daughter of mine.
00:59:14Ma'am, what did he say?
00:59:15He told me to apologize to Elijah and bring him back.
00:59:18No fucking way am I saying sorry to that asshole!
00:59:21Miss Gray, in times like this, we need to stay calm.
00:59:22How about you just ask him to come back and get the server working?
00:59:25You can save the apology for later.
00:59:35Elijah, I truly feel awful about what happened today.
00:59:38I'll put measures in place to ensure that it doesn't happen again.
00:59:46Hello, who is this?
00:59:47Mr. Green, the hackers are back and Gray Tech's server has just crashed.
00:59:50You're the one who knows the server in and out,
00:59:52so we need you to get it back up and running.
00:59:54Oh, hello, Ms. Gray.
00:59:56Sorry, but I'm no longer an employee of Gray Tech.
00:59:58Plus, I'm on vacation right now.
01:00:00This is your responsibility.
01:00:02You know, I've got reason to believe that you're the one behind this attack.
01:00:06If you don't help us, be prepared to face legal action.
01:00:09Just leave me alone, okay?
01:00:11With you in charge, Gray Tech will go bankrupt before long anyway.
01:00:15What was that about?
01:00:17Gray Tech's server crashed again, and Ms. Gray accused me of hacking them.
01:00:21She begged me to come back and fix it and implied she would sue me if I didn't.
01:00:27Crazy, right?
01:00:30Elijah, you little shit!
01:00:32You really think you're hot stuff, huh?
01:00:34May, get the car.
01:00:35We're bringing him back, and I don't care if it means kidnapping you.
01:00:38Isn't Ms. Gray their new CEO?
01:00:40The one that fired you for no reason?
01:00:43So what are you going to do?
01:00:46I'm going to make her look like a fool.
01:00:47That's what.
01:00:48She decided to fire me, and now she's living with the consequences.
01:00:52Elijah, you're our lead programmer now.
01:00:55If she slanders you, she's slandering all of Eagle Tech.
01:00:58We've got your back.
01:00:58Thanks, Ava.
01:00:59Where are you guys going now?
01:01:00I'll walk you there.
01:01:02It's okay.
01:01:03I'm sure you've got things to do.
01:01:04I'm going to take my parents home and rest before the banquet.
01:01:07See you tonight.
01:01:09All right.
01:01:09Get home safe, then.
01:01:11See you tonight.
01:01:16There.
01:01:22Mr. Henderson, how are things going?
01:01:24Where's Elijah?
01:01:25Let's see.
01:01:26He must be receiving some special treatment at the Eagle Solutions office.
01:01:30Listen to me.
01:01:30Don't lay another finger on him.
01:01:32Something urgent came up, and we need his help.
01:01:34What the hell?
01:01:36Why does Gray Tech need Elijah's help?
01:01:39Wait.
01:01:40Are they trying to rehire him?
01:01:42No, I can't let that happen.
01:01:44If he goes back to them, I'm screwed.
01:01:49Guys, I'm freaking out.
01:01:50If Vice President Henderson doesn't speak on our behalf, our family's reputation will be ruined.
01:02:00Tony, what's going on?
01:02:01Why the long face?
01:02:03Mrs. Cross, she fired me.
01:02:07What happened?
01:02:08Tell us what happened.
01:02:09Those ingredients Elijah used in the cookies, they really were a gift for Mrs. Cross.
01:02:13She saw that I'd locked Elijah up and beaten him, so she fired me on the spot.
01:02:18What?
01:02:18They were a gift from Mrs. Cross?
01:02:21How can that be?
01:02:23Tony, we know what kind of person Eli is.
01:02:25He must have blackmailed Mrs. Cross into giving him those gifts.
01:02:27I wonder.
01:02:28But either way, there's nothing we can do about it.
01:02:30Tony, what are we going to do now that you're out of work?
01:02:35See, George?
01:02:36You're lucky I stopped you from fighting with Eli.
01:02:38Otherwise, we might be in the same boat as Tony and Aubrey.
01:02:40You're right, honey.
01:02:40That was a good call.
01:02:42I ought to listen to you more often.
01:02:47Emma, you're on good terms with Derek.
01:02:49See if he can get his dad to put in a good word for us.
01:02:53Mrs. Cross can still change her mind!
01:02:59Emma, what happened?
01:03:00Derek, Mrs. Cross just fired Tony.
01:03:04What?
01:03:04Tony, what did you do?
01:03:05It turns out that Elijah's ingredients were really a gift from Mrs. Cross.
01:03:09I didn't know they were friends.
01:03:11Please, Mr. Henderson, ask Mrs. Cross to let me keep my job.
01:03:14All right, just let me handle this.
01:03:15I'll make sure your family is fine.
01:03:18Lucky for you guys, I have a vested interest in what happens to Elijah and Mrs. Cross.
01:03:22If Elijah doesn't go back to gray tech,
01:03:24Mrs. Cross is going to lose her position as president.
01:03:27Soon, Eagle Solutions will belong to the Hendersons.
01:03:30Thank you, Mr. Henderson.
01:03:32If you help me get my job back, I'll be forever indebted to you.
01:03:35Come on, call me Derek.
01:03:37And I won't just give you your job back.
01:03:39I'll see to it that you receive a promotion.
01:03:43Elijah, I have to thank you.
01:03:44Your little friendship with Mrs. Cross is turning into a perfect weapon.
