Short filmTranscript
00:00:09Can you believe it's been three years since Eli left for work?
00:00:13Feels like yesterday.
00:00:16I wonder he'll make it home for Christmas this year.
00:00:27Sir, 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!
00:01:44It's been a long day. You all should get home early.
00:01:47You guys heard Elijah? Let's wrap up early today! An 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. Just 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.
00:02:46This is great. 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.
00:03:18Some of us even stayed here overnight last night to help protect the company.
00:03:23You're only working overnight because you waste time all day.
00:03:27You think our competitors are this inefficient?
00:03:29Working 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 we were hit with an unprecedented attack
00:03:39from highly sophisticated hackers through teamwork and days of tireless work.
00:03:44We 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,
00:03:57we need to be constantly improving and pushing the envelope.
00:04:01And for anyone who stays home on Christmas,
00:04:03consider yourself unemployed.
00:04:05Miss Gray, no one in this industry works on Christmas.
00:04:07It'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?
00:04:15Have 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.
00:04:22But rushing things will only lead to disaster.
00:04:24I 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.
00:04:36Even your father values his advice.
00:04:39Looks like my father spoiled this Elijah.
00:04:42If 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.
00:04:50Miss 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.
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
00:05:48must 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?
00:06:25Miss 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, this is your last chance.
00:06:43Turn over the data, now!
00:06:45Samantha Gray, I 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,
00:06:52I'll take your car, your house, and your money, too!
00:06:55I'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, what's the use in returning them?
00:07:04You're digging your own grave, and 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 so that he never types on a keyboard again.
00:07:14Are you deaf?
00:07:15If you ignore my orders, I'll take you down along with him!
00:07:22Miss Gray, does your father know what you're doing?
00:07:27Miss Gray, let's not do anything rash.
00:07:30We can just follow protocol and 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.
00:07:40All 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!
00:07:58I haven't done anything illegal!
00:08:01You're going to pay for this.
00:08:03Remove him.
00:08:05Oh, and May.
00:08:07From this day on, you'll be working as my personal assistant.
00:08:15Mr. Greens, 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.
00:09:23Babe, I know you want me.
00:09:25You're gross.
00:09:25Just 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.
00:09:32Plus, it's more exciting this way, right?
00:09:34Fair 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.
00:10:17I'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.
00:10:43Face 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 over 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.
00:12:03And 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 and there's still no sign of him.
00:12:23Sadie, get out here!
00:12:30Merry Christmas, Steven.
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, can 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.
00:12:53I'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.
00:13:07That'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.
00:13:21Plus, 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.
00:13:44Sign 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,
00:13:59you guys are set for life.
00:14:01Nora, Stephen,
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
00:15:15and he's probably cold after the trip.
00:15:19Why don't we take things inside?
00:15:21Huh.
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?
00:15:50Why do you owe Uncle Stephen so much money?
00:15:52Eli, this whole thing is such a mess.
00:15:54Last 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.
00:16:03This 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,
00:16:47you 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?
00:16:56You mean Derek Henderson?
00:16:58I 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 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
00:17:08that 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
00:17:19has 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?
00:17:35Don't worry, Mom.
00:17:36It's just a small setback.
00:17:37I'll be fine.
00:17:39Elijah, if you've got any sense in you,
00:17:41you'll hurry up and sign that contract.
00:17:42Don't worry, Mom and Dad.
00:17:43Sign it.
00:17:45And your mom and dad will get a million-dollar reward.
00:17:48Otherwise, if you die one day
00:17:49and 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,
00:17:56all I can do is pay you back the 100 grand
00:17:58at 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.
00:18:06I'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,
00:18:15they have a million ways to make you disappear.
00:18:18Is that a threat?
00:18:20Nora,
00:18:21I thought you'd have this taken care of by now.
00:18:27Derek,
00:18:29Merry 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, Stephen.
00:18:35My brother's family here are an ungrateful bunch.
00:18:38They even had the nerve to reject your offer.
00:18:39I 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,
00:18:44but this is a whole new extreme.
00:18:46Wait,
00:18:46you two know each other?
00:18:48Of course we do.
00:18:49I can't seem to escape this guy lately.
00:18:51Yeah,
00:18:51I know this chump.
00:18:52Matter of fact,
00:18:53I was just at his place yesterday,
00:18:55having some
00:18:56fun
00:18:57with his girlfriend.
00:18:58Derek,
00:18:59you'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,
00:19:07I'm calling the cops!
00:19:08Go ahead,
00:19:08call them.
00:19:09Once they see I'm involved,
00:19:11it's game over for you, bud.
00:19:13Elijah,
00:19:13you might as well sign the contract now.
00:19:15If Derek's in a good mood,
00:19:16he might even give your parents a little extra cash.
00:19:19Yes,
00:19:19not a bad idea.
00:19:20If you sign now,
00:19:20I'll fork out two million.
00:19:22How about that?
00:19:23Elijah,
00:19:23see 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 are going to do jack shit!
00:19:34Guys,
00:19:35I've had it with this ungrateful bastard!
00:19:37Trash the room,
00:19:38now!
00:19:40Eli,
00:19:41maybe you should just sign it.
00:19:43That person they want you to kill
00:19:44is probably corrupt and evil anyway,
00:19:46and it'll save our family.
00:19:48I'm not doing it.
00:19:49I'll cut my own hand off
00:19:50before I sign that paper.
00:19:51Then,
00:19:52what should we do?
00:19:53Indeed,
00:19:54what should we do?
00:19:55You know,
00:19:55this lady might be past her prime,
00:19:57but she still has a certain
00:20:00charm
00:20:01about her.
00:20:02Tell you what,
00:20:03if you come over here
00:20:04and kiss me right here,
00:20:05we can forget about this contract.
00:20:07Oh,
00:20:08and I get to use my tongue.
00:20:10God,
00:20:11Derek,
00:20:11you really have no chill.
00:20:14Sadie,
00:20:15this is your last chance.
00:20:17Give Derek what he wants,
00:20:18and not only will Elijah
00:20:19not have to kill anyone,
00:20:20I won't ask you to pay me back.
00:20:22You best think long and hard.
00:20:23Come on,
00:20:24I'm ready for you.
00:20:26Leave my mother out of this,
00:20:27you filthy swine.
00:20:30Fine.
00:20:31Let's see how much longer
00:20:32you can resist.
00:20:33Guys,
00:20:34bring the old man over here.
00:20:40Keep your hands off my dad.
00:20:43You pigs,
00:20:44let go of my dad
00:20:45before I beat your asses.
00:20:50Please stop.
00:20:51You'll hurt him.
00:20:51I'm begging you.
00:20:52you think I was joking around?
00:20:55Do what I said,
00:20:56and I'll let your crippled husband
00:20:57and your low-life son
00:20:58off the hook.
00:21:00All right,
00:21:01I'll do it.
00:21:03Mom,
00:21:03no!
00:21:04Don't do it!
00:21:05Mom,
00:21:06stop!
00:21:06You can't let them win!
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
00:21:18and watch this guy assault her?
00:21:19Please.
00:21:19All we share is a last name.
00:21:21If she gets assaulted,
00:21:22that's on you.
00:21:23If you had any status at all,
00:21:24no one would dare touch her.
00:21:25You're sick!
00:21:26You care more about money
00:21:28and power
00:21:28than 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,
00:21:37I'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
00:21:43right 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,
00:21:57what an unexpected pleasure this is.
00:21:58Mr. Sky and Mr. Lyons as well.
00:22:01On Christmas Day, nonetheless.
00:22:03Miss Cross?
00:22:05Are you the Miss Cross from Eagle Tech?
00:22:07Jack, you and these two gentlemen,
00:22:10please,
00:22:11you have to help my son Elijah.
00:22:14You have to save our family!
00:22:27Mrs. Cross,
00:22:28I'm begging you,
00:22:30please,
00:22:31help Elisha,
00:22:32please.
00:22:33Just calm down.
00:22:34Calm down and let's talk, okay?
00:22:37What are you looking at,
00:22:38old Furt?
00:22:38Crying about your problems
00:22:39to Miss Cross won't change anything.
00:22:41Mr. Henderson,
00:22:42I think you owe us an explanation.
00:22:43You just showed up at their house
00:22:45looking for trouble.
00:22:46It's Christmas,
00:22:47for Christ's sake.
00:22:48Miss Cross,
00:22:49what are you suggesting?
00:22:50This family owes a fat stack of cash
00:22:51to my girlfriend
00:22:52and they're refusing to return it.
00:22:53I just came here to support her.
00:22:56It's Cross.
00:22:58Uh,
00:22:59Merry Christmas.
00:23:00I'm Nora Green,
00:23:01sales manager at Eagle Solutions.
00:23:02There have been some misunderstandings
00:23:04between my family and Elijah's
00:23:06and we're trying to sort things out.
00:23:08The thing is,
00:23:09uh,
00:23:10last year,
00:23:11my father's brother,
00:23:12Mark,
00:23:12needed an emergency procedure,
00:23:14so we lent them 100 grand.
00:23:15Fast forward to now,
00:23:17and not only have they still not paid us back,
00:23:19they're accusing us
00:23:20of extortion.
00:23:22Let's get the facts straight.
00:23:23You lent us 100 grand
00:23:25and now you're asking for 500.
00:23:27How is that not extortion?
00:23:28Plus,
00:23:30you're trying to force me
00:23:31to kill somebody,
00:23:32which is illegal.
00:23:34What?
00:23:35This is starting to get weird.
00:23:37Miss Cross,
00:23:37they're the ones who owe us money.
00:23:39Let's not act like they have
00:23:40the moral high ground here.
00:23:42I offered them a million dollars
00:23:43in exchange for Elijah
00:23:44eliminating one of my enemies.
00:23:46He'd never run into that kind of money
00:23:47if it wasn't for me.
00:23:48Consider it an act of charity.
00:23:50Exactly.
00:23:51Derek's trying to do the right thing,
00:23:52but this stubborn bastard Elijah
00:23:53keeps rejecting the offer.
00:23:55This is an egregious offense
00:23:56to Derek,
00:23:57Eagle Tech,
00:23:57and everyone in our circle.
00:23:59So today,
00:24:00we came here to remind
00:24:01these ungrateful scum
00:24:02what happens
00:24:03when you mess with people in power.
00:24:09Bring that scroundrel over here
00:24:11and get him to apologize
00:24:12to Miss Cross
00:24:13and the others.
00:24:15Enough!
00:24:16Mr. Lyons,
00:24:17got anything to say?
00:24:19Yeah, I never knew
00:24:20the son of a measly
00:24:21vice-plate president
00:24:21could speak for all people in power.
00:24:23You learn something new every day.
00:24:26Hear that?
00:24:28You're a joke to us.
00:24:31Mr. Henderson,
00:24:32how long are you going to keep
00:24:33stirring shit up?
00:24:34Miss Cross,
00:24:35why did you just hit Derek?
00:24:37The ones you should be hitting
00:24:38are Elijah and...
00:24:39Quiet!
00:24:40Do you even know
00:24:40who you're messing with?
00:24:41Elijah's the former lead programmer
00:24:42at Grey Tech.
00:24:43He could pay you back
00:24:44tenfold if he wanted.
00:24:45And if you think
00:24:45you can turn him into a hitman
00:24:47for a million bucks,
00:24:48you're living in a fantasy land.
00:24:50But how is that possible?
00:24:51Elijah's just some
00:24:52community college grad.
00:24:53How could he get a high-ranking job
00:24:54at the world's top tech company?
00:24:56What, you think I'm lying?
00:24:57Derek, please tell me
00:24:58you at least knew
00:24:58where Elijah worked.
00:25:00Well, I...
00:25:02Why is Miss Cross
00:25:03siding with Elijah?
00:25:04Whatever.
00:25:04Better just go along
00:25:05with it for now.
00:25:06I can always deal
00:25:07with Elijah later.
00:25:10You liar!
00:25:11You were just using me
00:25:12this whole time!
00:25:17Elijah,
00:25:18Mr. and Mrs. Greens,
00:25:19I sincerely apologize
00:25:20for my rashness today.
00:25:21Nora set a trap for me
00:25:22and I fell right into it.
00:25:23I shouldn't have tried
00:25:23to force you to sign
00:25:24that contract.
00:25:25I hope you can forgive me.
00:25:30Derek, why are you...
00:25:34Why am I what?
00:25:36Nora,
00:25:37I can't support someone
00:25:38who has no respect
00:25:39for family
00:25:39and who tries to hurt
00:25:40their own cousin.
00:25:42You're heartless.
00:25:44Mrs. Cross,
00:25:45what do you suggest
00:25:46we do with these two snakes?
00:25:49Nora,
00:25:49you're morally bankrupt.
00:25:51You'll be immediately
00:25:51removed from your position
00:25:53and will never work
00:25:53for us again.
00:25:55As for your father,
00:25:56he'll be blacklisted
00:25:58across all Eagle companies
00:25:59and all his current projects
00:26:00will be canceled at once.
00:26:03Elok, please,
00:26:04you and I are family.
00:26:05Tell Miss Cross
00:26:05not to fire me.
00:26:06I need this job.
00:26:07Huh,
00:26:08now we're family.
00:26:09Didn't you just say
00:26:10that my parents and I
00:26:11are dead to you?
00:26:11Eli,
00:26:12I screwed up.
00:26:13I don't know what possessed me
00:26:14to say such a terrible thing.
00:26:15Let's just forget
00:26:15I ever said it,
00:26:16okay, please?
00:26:17Listen, Eli,
00:26:18we got carried away.
00:26:19You don't need to pay us
00:26:20back today.
00:26:21Matter of fact,
00:26:21you can return the money
00:26:22whenever you want
00:26:23and I won't charge interest.
00:26:25Elijah,
00:26:26I'll pay them back for you.
00:26:27No, Elijah,
00:26:28please allow me.
00:26:29I'd be happy to pay off
00:26:30your debt as well.
00:26:32What's going on?
00:26:33All of them are siding
00:26:34with Elijah?
00:26:35Isn't he just a jobless
00:26:37nobody now?
00:26:37This is insane.
00:26:39Elijah must be wielding
00:26:40some serious power
00:26:41behind the scenes.
00:26:42Why else would they be
00:26:43sucking up to him
00:26:44like this?
00:26:47Aunt Sadie,
00:26:49let's just call that
00:26:50a hundred grand
00:26:50a gift from my dad and I.
00:26:52You don't have to pay us back.
00:26:54Just get Elijah
00:26:55to tell Mrs. Cross
00:26:56not to fire me.
00:26:57Please,
00:26:58I'm your niece.
00:27:04That's right,
00:27:05we're family.
00:27:06We know Mark
00:27:07has had a rough year,
00:27:08so let's just call it even.
00:27:10Covering Mark's surgery
00:27:11was my responsibility
00:27:12as his older brother.
00:27:15Eli, go on.
00:27:16You ought to put in
00:27:17a good word for them.
00:27:20Did you forget
00:27:21everything that just happened?
00:27:23If Ava and the others
00:27:25didn't show up,
00:27:25I'd probably be dead
00:27:27right now.
00:27:28And you and Dad
00:27:29would still be getting
00:27:30tortured and humiliated.
00:27:36Eli,
00:27:37if you just tell Mrs. Cross
00:27:38not to fire my dad and I,
00:27:40we'll forget about the money.
00:27:42Please,
00:27:42this is all I ask of you.
00:27:46I might not have a job now,
00:27:48but I still have my integrity.
00:27:50I could care less
00:27:51about the money.
00:27:52You've already lost my trust.
00:27:54Eli, please forgive us
00:27:56just this once.
00:27:57I'm begging you,
00:27:58it won't happen again.
00:28:00Shut up.
00:28:02If you were smart,
00:28:03you'd get out of here
00:28:04before Elijah loses his cool.
00:28:06Unless you enjoy
00:28:07embarrassing yourselves
00:28:08like this.
00:28:15Stop right there.
00:28:17Mr. Green isn't done
00:28:18with you yet.
00:28:21Mr. Green is a respected
00:28:22figure in the tech world.
00:28:24You don't just get a free
00:28:25pass to leave after
00:28:26terrorizing him and his family.
00:28:28Mr. Sky,
00:28:28Mr. Lyons,
00:28:30I'm deeply sorry
00:28:31for what I did to Elijah.
00:28:32I promised to learn
00:28:33from my mistakes.
00:28:36Mr. Green,
00:28:38what should we do
00:28:39with this pathetic fool?
00:28:44The first one was
00:28:45for abusing my mom.
00:28:47The second was
00:28:48for accepting my dad.
00:28:51And the third was
00:28:52for trying to make me
00:28:53into a hitman.
00:28:53But you and I
00:28:54aren't finished.
00:28:55That was just the first
00:28:56step of my revenge.
00:28:58Now get out.
00:29:00Elijah,
00:29:00you don't just hit me
00:29:01and get away with it.
00:29:02Next time I see you,
00:29:04you're dead.
00:29:09Let's put that mess
00:29:10behind us.
00:29:10I'd like to formally
00:29:11offer you a job
00:29:11at Eagle Tech.
00:29:12In fact,
00:29:13we'd like to make you
00:29:13our new lead programmer.
00:29:14So would we.
00:29:15And Livens Tech too.
00:29:16Elijah,
00:29:17this is Eagle Tech's
00:29:17brand new employees
00:29:18only credit card
00:29:19with a spending limit
00:29:20of $100 million.
00:29:21Consider it a welcome
00:29:22gift from us.
00:29:23Not bad,
00:29:23Ms. Cross.
00:29:24$100 million is hard to top.
00:29:25But Mr. Green,
00:29:26Sky Tech is no slouch either.
00:29:27If you agree to my offer,
00:29:28I'll give you a $150 million
00:29:29hiring bonus.
00:29:30Make no mistake,
00:29:30Mr. Green,
00:29:31Lions Tech would be
00:29:31just as honored to have you.
00:29:32I'll have $200 million
00:29:33in your pocket
00:29:33by the end of the day.
00:29:34Listen,
00:29:35I'm humbled by your generosity
00:29:36and I'm very grateful
00:29:37for your help today.
00:29:38But I really can't accept
00:29:39all that money.
00:29:39Elijah,
00:29:40I know your father's
00:29:41health costs are piling up.
00:29:43Use this to cover them.
00:29:44You can give it back
00:29:45when your finances
00:29:45are more stapled.
00:29:46I...
00:29:47I guess I'll take it then.
00:29:49Thanks, Ava.
00:29:50So,
00:29:51that means you accept
00:29:51my offer, right?
00:29:52You'll join Eagle Tech?
00:29:53Damn,
00:29:54should have started
00:29:55recruiting him sooner.
00:29:55I know.
00:29:56Guess she beat us to it.
00:29:58Mr. Sky,
00:29:58Mr. Lions,
00:29:59I won't forget your kindness.
00:30:01We won't be working together now,
00:30:02but I do hope
00:30:02our paths cross in the future.
00:30:04That's the way you feel?
00:30:04Then I didn't come here for nothing.
00:30:06Thank you, Mr. Green.
00:30:07Yes,
00:30:07thank you, Mr. Green.
00:30:08I'll arrange a welcome banquet
00:30:09for you at the Imperial Hotel
00:30:10this evening.
00:30:11Ava,
00:30:12you've been very good to me,
00:30:13but a banquet
00:30:13would be a bit much.
00:30:14No,
00:30:15I'm not changing my mind.
00:30:16I want the whole world
00:30:17to know that Elijah Green
00:30:18is Eagle Tech's
00:30:19new lead programmer.
00:30:22All right, fine.
00:30:23But nothing too fancy,
00:30:24all right?
00:30:25Deal.
00:30:26It'll be simple but elegant.
00:30:27You're gonna love it.
00:30:28Then it's a plan.
00:30:28Well, do you have anything else
00:30:29going on today?
00:30:32It's my first time home
00:30:33in three years.
00:30:34I just want to spend time
00:30:35at home with my parents.
00:30:36Eli,
00:30:37why don't we pay a visit
00:30:37to my side of the family today?
00:30:39Grandpa Jim is always
00:30:40talking about you these days,
00:30:41and who knows
00:30:42when you'll be back next?
00:30:43Don't we usually visit them
00:30:44on the day after Christmas?
00:30:45Yes,
00:30:45but yesterday your Uncle Frank
00:30:46told me that all your aunts
00:30:47are visiting as well.
00:30:48He said that if you came back,
00:30:49we should get together today.
00:30:50Nora, I'm sorry for how
00:30:52I acted earlier.
00:30:53I was just thinking on the fly
00:30:55and improvising.
00:30:56Derek, you have to help.
00:30:58I can't lose that job.
00:30:59It means everything to me.
00:31:00Derek, my family's having
00:31:02a 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
00:31:08trying to steal you away from me?
00:31:10Just a friend inviting me
00:31:11to her Christmas gathering.
00:31:13Don't worry, Nora.
00:31:14I'll find a way to get you back
00:31:15your sales manager position.
00:31:16Ava Cross,
00:31:17you stood up for Elijah,
00:31:19and now you'll go down
00:31:20with him too.
00:31:24Long time no see, everybody.
00:31:27Merry Christmas
00:31:27and 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, horse shit?
00:31:38Seriously, Eli,
00:31:39that's the best you can do
00:31:40after not showing up
00:31:41for three years?
00:31:41Should have saved
00:31:42your stupid cookies for Santa.
00:31:43I have a bird feeder in my yard.
00:31:45Maybe I'll crumble a few of them
00:31:46up to feed to the crows.
00:31:49As for the rest,
00:31:50they'll make a nice meal
00:31:51for some homeless guy
00:31:52on the street.
00:31:53These are for Grandpa Jim,
00:31:54so let's let him be the judge.
00:31:57Why don't we get him
00:31:58to come out and try more?
00:32:03Of course you offer them
00:32:04to the old man
00:32:04who's lost all his taste bubs.
00:32:06Plus, why take a bite
00:32:07when we can smell
00:32:08the stench from over here?
00:32:10Man, bringing homemade cookies
00:32:11because you're short on cash
00:32:12is one thing,
00:32:13but when you do that
00:32:14and pretend to make
00:32:14a whole grand entrance,
00:32:15you look pretty sad.
00:32:18See how stale they look?
00:32:19Probably weeks old already.
00:32:21He's trying to give
00:32:21Grandpa Jim diarrhea.
00:32:23Fine, you can throw them out.
00:32:25Let's see how Grandpa Jim reacts
00:32:27when he hears you've dumped
00:32:28his expensive Christmas gift
00:32:29in the trap.
00:32:29Enough games, Eli.
00:32:31Shut up and stop playing dumb.
00:32:33Unbelievable.
00:32:34This boy is an embarrassment
00:32:35to 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,
00:32:46your Uncle Mark,
00:32:47and your cousin Elijah.
00:32:49Are you that loser cousin
00:32:50my 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,
00:33:03so I couldn't bring gifts
00:33:04for everyone.
00:33:06How about I get an App Store gift card
00:33:07and send it to you later?
00:33:09You're fooling no one, Eli.
00:33:11If you're broke, just say it
00:33:12instead of making empty promises
00:33:14to a kid.
00:33:15Yeah, no one wants a $5 gift card
00:33:17from you anyway.
00:33:18My other cousins gave me
00:33:20super cool gifts.
00:33:21You're the only stingy one.
00:33:23Just because I didn't bring gifts
00:33:25doesn't mean I'm broke.
00:33:27I'll go to the bank later today
00:33:29and withdraw 50 grand,
00:33:30all for you.
00:33:31Oh, and I see you're a gamer.
00:33:33We can stop by the mall
00:33:33and 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
00:33:45more than this shit.
00:33:47Typical Eli.
00:33:48Pulling a dumb trick
00:33:49and thinking we'll fall for it.
00:33:55First it was the month-old cookies,
00:33:56now 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 grand for Christmas.
00:34:22Show me your most expensive laptops.
00:34:28This is our flagship model,
00:34:30perfect for gamers.
00:34:31It's on sale for $10,000.
00:34:32How many do you want?
00:34:34I'll take four.
00:34:35Four?
00:34:36Well, all right.
00:34:37I'll grab them for ya.
00:34:42I'm sick of your shit, Eli.
00:34:43You're pushing 30 with nothing to show for it,
00:34:45yet you still have the nerve
00:34:46to talk back to us.
00:34:50If you make a scene here
00:34:51and ruin Christmas for Grandpa Jim,
00:34:53you'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
00:35:00and those cookies are top quality?
00:35:02Yes.
00:35:03Sadie,
00:35:04you raised a good-for-nothing bastard.
00:35:06If I don't discipline him myself,
00:35:08it's a matter of time
00:35:08before he gets into trouble
00:35:09and disgraces our name.
00:35:12Elijah, I need you to swear
00:35:13on your mother's life
00:35:14that you will never lie to us again.
00:35:15Otherwise, the whole Green family,
00:35:17including your mother and father,
00:35:18will disown you.
00:35:21Uncle Frank,
00:35:22at least have the decency
00:35:23to present some evidence
00:35:24before 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,
00:35:30you'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
00:35:46for your own good.
00:35:48Elijah, you've always been
00:35:49the black sheep of the Green family.
00:35:51You're not leaving today
00:35:52until 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,
00:36:07let's see if your father
00:36:08is just as stubborn.
00:36:09George, Tony,
00:36:10bring the old man over here
00:36:11and get him to apologize
00:36:12on behalf of his son.
00:36:15Stay away from my husband!
00:36:17Eli, just say you're sorry
00:36:19and get it over with!
00:36:24Hey!
00:36:25Where the hell were you just now?
00:36:26What's in that bag?
00:36:27You know how cousin Elijah
00:36:28promised 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
00:36:33all by himself!
00:36:34He could have got robbed
00:36:35or even kidnapped!
00:36:37If my grandson got hurt
00:36:38because of your fake credit card,
00:36:39I 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!
00:36:49Look!
00:36:50I bought four laptops!
00:36:59This is the latest
00:37:00Blue 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
00:37:22like it grows on trees.
00:37:23I know, right!
00:37:24Eli, where are you working now?
00:37:26If there are any openings,
00:37:27you should hook me up.
00:37:29Yeah, Eli.
00:37:30You know, it gets lonely at the top
00:37:32if 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
00:37:40what little savings you have
00:37:42on Gabe's gift?
00:37:43Are you trying to starve to death?
00:37:44Yeah, the last thing Gabe needs
00:37:46is a role model like you.
00:37:47He should be learning
00:37:48how to spend responsibly.
00:37:50Eli, you're hopeless.
00:37:52Your mother has bent over backwards
00:37:54taking care of your father.
00:37:55The least you could do
00:37:56is offer them some support.
00:37:58Dad, don't say that.
00:37:59For all we know,
00:38:00he might actually be loaded.
00:38:01Right, Eli?
00:38:02Right, indeed.
00:38:03$40,000 on a gift
00:38:04is 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
00:38:11to 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
00:38:17when 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
00:38:42for all the years
00:38:43that Elijah didn't get you anything.
00:38:44Thanks, Aunt Sadie.
00:38:45Thanks, Cousin Elijah.
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
00:38:57at Eagle Solutions.
00:38:59Seeing as you were very generous to my son,
00:39:01I suppose I owe you one.
00:39:03Tony, are you guys hiring
00:39:04in the security department?
00:39:05I think Eli could make
00:39:06a 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,
00:39:14so Eagle Seclorites
00:39:15would be a step down anyway.
00:39:16I can chart my own path.
00:39:18Eli, we're family.
00:39:19You don't need to lie to us
00:39:20about your resume.
00:39:21Eagle Tech employees
00:39:22come from Ivy League schools,
00:39:24not community colleges.
00:39:25They wouldn't hire you
00:39:26if their lives depended on it.
00:39:27Look, if you just apologize
00:39:28for your lies like we asked,
00:39:30I'd be happy to do you a favor
00:39:32and get you a job
00:39:33as a security guard.
00:39:35Hurry up and say you're sorry.
00:39:37You know how many people
00:39:38would kill for a job
00:39:39at Eagle Solutions?
00:39:41If you don't take it,
00:39:42someone else will.
00:39:48If someone else wants the job,
00:39:49let 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
00:40:01to stand next time.
00:40:02Yeah, when you're living
00:40:03in a tent on the streets.
00:40:04Don't say we didn't
00:40:05give you a chance.
00:40:07Let me think.
00:40:08When my dad got sick last year,
00:40:10did any of you pitch in
00:40:11for the surgery?
00:40:13Didn't think so.
00:40:14So don't suddenly pretend to care.
00:40:17Eli, to call you ungrateful
00:40:19would be an understatement.
00:40:21Tony gave you an opportunity
00:40:22and 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
00:40:50generic store-bought gifts.
00:40:52My mom and I spent hours
00:40:53making those cookies.
00:40:55Oh, stop patting yourself
00:40:57on the back.
00:40:58Do you ever think about
00:40:59how your actions reflect
00:41:00on your family?
00:41:02Your moldy cookies
00:41:03make us all look cheap.
00:41:05Don't get so worked up, Emma.
00:41:08Elijah will never measure up
00:41:09to 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.
00:41:21must be a long line of ladies
00:41:22waiting for him to be single.
00:41:24Tony has a point.
00:41:26Emma, as far as I know,
00:41:27Derek already has
00:41:28two other girlfriends.
00:41:30You better hope he likes you
00:41:31more than he likes them.
00:41:35Eli, don't you ever shut up.
00:41:37No one believes you anyway.
00:41:38Believe what you want,
00:41:39but I've already seen him
00:41:39with my ex and my other cousin.
00:41:41Get lost!
00:41:42You're just trying to ruin
00:41:43our relationship.
00:41:44Emma, you know you're
00:41:45the only one I love.
00:41:46All the other girls are just
00:41:47groupies who want in on my success.
00:41:49I've never even given them
00:41:50a second look.
00:41:52I know.
00:41:53I believe you, babe.
00:41:56Well, don't say
00:41:57I didn't warn you.
00:41:58I don't want to hear it.
00:41:59If you're just here
00:42:00to spread rumors,
00:42:00you 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,
00:42:06Derek Henderson.
00:42:07His father is the vice president
00:42:08of Eagle Solutions.
00:42:09He came to wish us
00:42:10Merry Christmas.
00:42:13Pleasure to meet you.
00:42:14I'd like to wish a Merry Christmas
00:42:15and Happy New Year
00:42:16to you and your family.
00:42:17Dad, Derek is also
00:42:19an Ivy League grad.
00:42:20Dad, he's truly
00:42:21a talented young man.
00:42:22I agree.
00:42:23I mean, the guy
00:42:24has three different girlfriends.
00:42:25It does take some talent
00:42:27to pull that off.
00:42:28Eli, enough with the slander.
00:42:30You're being a real Grinch
00:42:31this Christmas,
00:42:32you know that?
00:42:32Uncle Frank,
00:42:33I wish I was lying,
00:42:34but it's true.
00:42:35Get out, Eli.
00:42:36You're not welcome
00:42:37in this house!
00:42:41You're the ones
00:42:41who invited us here
00:42:42in the first place,
00:42:43but if you want us to leave,
00:42:44we'll gladly oblige.
00:42:46This is a shitty party anyway.
00:42:52Stop!
00:42:55I won't allow my family
00:42:56to fight over the holidays.
00:42:58Let's eat.
00:42:58You can settle
00:43:00your disputes later.
00:43:15This is a Pinot Noir
00:43:17that my father
00:43:17brought home from France.
00:43:19We've been saving it
00:43:21for a special occasion,
00:43:22so I brought it today.
00:43:24Here, to your health.
00:43:26Does anyone smell that?
00:43:28Where's that smell
00:43:28coming from?
00:43:30Grandpa,
00:43:30it'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
00:43:41gingerbread cookies
00:43:42that Elijah brought over.
00:43:43I was just about
00:43:44to throw them out.
00:43:46Let me try one.
00:43:57I know this taste.
00:43:59These aren't just
00:44:00any gingerbread cookies.
00:44:01They're made with a rare,
00:44:02highly refined molasses
00:44:04straight from the jungles
00:44:05of South America.
00:44:06Cookies like these
00:44:08aren't cheap to make.
00:44:09Highly refined molasses?
00:44:11Really?
00:44:12And you almost
00:44:12threw them out!
00:44:17Grandpa,
00:44:18you must be confused.
00:44:19Even if they did taste good,
00:44:21where would Eli get
00:44:22such rare ingredients?
00:44:23What, you think I'm wrong?
00:44:25You think the old man's
00:44:26got dementia?
00:44:27The taste is unmistakable.
00:44:28How many batches
00:44:29did he bring?
00:44:30A whole bowl's full.
00:44:31There were dozens of them.
00:44:32I threw most of them
00:44:33out already, though.
00:44:35You threw the others out?
00:44:37Sure did.
00:44:39We've been eating
00:44:39Christmas cookies all week.
00:44:40Everyone's sick of them.
00:44:42You morons!
00:44:44A five-gallon tub
00:44:46of that molasses
00:44:47just sold at an auction
00:44:48for over a million dollars.
00:44:50Those cookies must have been
00:44:51worth at least
00:44:52a hundred grand!
00:44:53Yeah, I remember my dad
00:44:54saying something
00:44:55about that auction.
00:44:56A hundred grand
00:44:57all down the drain.
00:44:58Eli,
00:44:59I didn't know
00:45:00that molasses
00:45:00was so expensive.
00:45:02Why didn't you tell them?
00:45:03I tried,
00:45:04but they wouldn't listen.
00:45:07What did I do
00:45:08to get stuck
00:45:08in a family
00:45:09full of idiots?
00:45:10Those cookies
00:45:11were world-class
00:45:12and you wasted
00:45:14all of them!
00:45:15Grandpa,
00:45:15don't make such a mess.
00:45:17I spent hours
00:45:17cleaning up
00:45:18before the party.
00:45:19These other ones
00:45:19were made with an extra
00:45:20rare variety
00:45:21of Ceylon cinnamon
00:45:22that's even more expensive
00:45:23than the molasses.
00:45:24One small bag of this
00:45:25goes for at least
00:45:26three hundred grand!
00:45:27You're embossals,
00:45:28all of you!
00:45:30Who is creating this?
00:45:33Oh!
00:45:34Eli,
00:45:35if you use such rare
00:45:36ingredients in these cookies,
00:45:37you shouldn't have let us
00:45:38throw them out.
00:45:39Or were you just trying
00:45:40to make us look bad?
00:45:41I tried,
00:45:42but you all just said
00:45:43they looked stale
00:45:43and that I was trying
00:45:44to give Grandpa Jim
00:45:45diarrhea!
00:45:47And if I recall correctly,
00:45:48you said I was a stain
00:45:49on the family name.
00:45:52Eli,
00:45:53you're an unemployed loser,
00:45:54so how did you get your hands
00:45:55on such precious ingredients?
00:45:56Be honest,
00:45:57you stole them, right?
00:45:58I got them as a gift.
00:45:59Come on,
00:45:59we're not that stupid.
00:46:00Why would anybody
00:46:01waste such expensive gifts
00:46:02on a nobody like you?
00:46:04Yeah,
00:46:04you probably stole them
00:46:05along with that credit card
00:46:06of yours.
00:46:07It's disgusting thinking
00:46:08we have a petty thief
00:46:08in the Green family.
00:46:11That's right,
00:46:12he stole everything!
00:46:14George,
00:46:14throwing away my cookies
00:46:15is one thing,
00:46:16but accusing me of theft
00:46:17is crossing the line.
00:46:18Just own up to your mistake
00:46:19and drop.
00:46:20I saw a bag of cinnamon
00:46:20and a jar of molasses
00:46:21in Miss Cross's office
00:46:22at the Eagle Solutions
00:46:23headquarters.
00:46:24She said she was giving them
00:46:25to a distinguished employee,
00:46:26yet somehow they showed up
00:46:27inside your cookies.
00:46:28This proves you stole them!
00:46:29Did you consider
00:46:31that maybe they were given
00:46:32to me by Mrs. Cross?
00:46:37As if you'd ever be worthy
00:46:38of a gift from Ava Cross.
00:46:40Fine,
00:46:40you don't have to believe me,
00:46:42but I know I'm in the right.
00:46:43George!
00:46:45What if it really was a gift
00:46:46from Miss Cross?
00:46:47What if Eli's telling
00:46:49the truth for once?
00:46:51Give me an update.
00:46:53All the pieces are in place.
00:46:54Let me check with someone
00:46:55on the ground.
00:46:59How are things going?
00:47:01I'm working on it.
00:47:02You mean it's not finished?
00:47:03I expect to see
00:47:04some results soon!
00:47:06I had him right where I wanted him
00:47:07until Ava Cross showed up.
00:47:10Ava Cross?
00:47:11President of Eagle Solutions?
00:47:13Yeah, her.
00:47:14Ma'am,
00:47:15there's been a little hiccup.
00:47:16Eagle Solutions President
00:47:17Ava Cross has interfered
00:47:18with our plan.
00:47:20Is Ava Cross
00:47:21trying to make an enemy of me?
00:47:22Not just you,
00:47:23I'm afraid.
00:47:24All of Grey Tech.
00:47:24It seems she wants to violate
00:47:26our blacklist order
00:47:26and hire Mr. Green
00:47:27so that Eagle Tech
00:47:28can compete with us.
00:47:29She can't get away with this!
00:47:31Have someone keep watch
00:47:32on Ava Cross.
00:47:33We can't have her meeting up
00:47:34with Mr. Greener again.
00:47:36Yes, ma'am.
00:47:39Keep an eye on Ava Cross
00:47:40and make sure she doesn't
00:47:41have any contact with Green.
00:47:47George, if Miss Cross
00:47:48accuses Elijah of stealing from her,
00:47:50the consequences
00:47:51will be far-reaching.
00:47:52You should be careful.
00:47:54Yes, you're right.
00:47:55If Miss Cross finds out
00:47:56what Elijah did,
00:47:57our whole family's done for.
00:47:58Tony, you're head of security
00:47:59at Eagle Solutions.
00:48:00You have to detain Elijah
00:48:02and hand him over
00:48:02for Mrs. Cross to deal with.
00:48:03That's the only way
00:48:04she'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
00:48:15about arresting a thief?
00:48:17Guys, take him away.
00:48:20Don't touch him.
00:48:22Miss Cross gave us that stuff.
00:48:24Derek was there.
00:48:24You're funny.
00:48:25If I was there,
00:48:26the only thing I would have seen
00:48:27is you stealing from her.
00:48:29Tony, Miss Cross is a busy woman.
00:48:32She doesn't have time
00:48:32to 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,
00:48:38I'll leave him there forever.
00:48:40Follow through on this
00:48:41and you'll have a promotion
00:48:42waiting 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,
00:48:51he came to our house
00:48:52and tried to force Eli
00:48:53to 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
00:49:03and ask her.
00:49:08Old hag,
00:49:09shut your mouth
00:49:10or I'll have you arrested too.
00:49:12All right.
00:49:13If you don't believe her,
00:49:14I'll call Miss Cross myself.
00:49:22You should have known
00:49:23when to call it quit!
00:49:24Take this bastard away
00:49:26and make him regret
00:49:26ever 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
00:50:01and her crippled husband
00:50:02out 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
00:50:08who's gonna pay for your crimes.
00:50:12You're the one
00:50:13you sure about this?
00:50:15Now's not the time
00:50:15to get sentimental.
00:50:16We're upholding the law!
00:50:18But if Miss Cross finds out...
00:50:20Relax, she won't.
00:50:22And even if she does,
00:50:22with me around,
00:50:23your family will be in good hands.
00:50:29Mr. Green?
00:50:31It's Ava Cross.
00:50:34I just wanted to stop by
00:50:35and wish you a Merry Christmas.
00:50:40Miss Cross,
00:50:41Merry Christmas.
00:50:42Merry Christmas.
00:50:43Merry Christmas.
00:50:43Mr. Green,
00:50:44so good to see you.
00:50:45Miss Cross,
00:50:47you're too kind.
00:50:47I should be the one
00:50:49going to visit you.
00:50:50Please, have a seat.
00:50:56Careful, it's hot.
00:51:00Merry Christmas.
00:51:02Mr. Henderson?
00:51:06Why are you here?
00:51:09Jim's granddaughter, Emma,
00:51:11and I are old college classmates.
00:51:12She invited me over today.
00:51:16You're a real social butterfly,
00:51:18aren't you, Mr. Henderson?
00:51:21Oh, not really.
00:51:22I keep a pretty small circle.
00:51:30Looks like you've got
00:51:31the whole family here today.
00:51:32What can I say?
00:51:33We're a tight-knit bunch.
00:51:35We take Christmas
00:51:37pretty seriously around here.
00:51:39I can tell by all those gifts.
00:51:41Yes, they brought them
00:51:42over this morning.
00:51:43Oh, and my nephew, Eli.
00:51:45Yeah, Eli.
00:51:47This is the fourth Christmas
00:51:49in a row he hasn't made
00:51:50at home.
00:51:52Hard to believe
00:51:53he's that busy with work.
00:51:55Emma, what are you saying?
00:51:56He was just here earlier,
00:51:57and he brought
00:51:58the most incredible gifts.
00:52:00So he just dropped off
00:52:01the gifts and then left?
00:52:02Doesn't sound like
00:52:03he's too welcome around here.
00:52:04Miss Cross,
00:52:05my grandpa's memory
00:52:06is 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
00:52:16batches of cookies,
00:52:17one made with an expensive
00:52:19variety of molasses,
00:52:20and the other
00:52:21with an extremely rare
00:52:22Ceylon cinnamon.
00:52:24Just when Tony was about
00:52:26to wipe Elisha off
00:52:27the face of the earth,
00:52:28Mrs. Cross had to show up again
00:52:29and intervene.
00:52:31Now the cat's almost
00:52:32out of the bag.
00:52:33George, if we just tell
00:52:34Miss Cross the truth now,
00:52:35we can still save our skin.
00:52:39Miss Cross,
00:52:40to be honest,
00:52:41Elijah's cookies were made
00:52:42with ingredients
00:52:42that he stole from your office.
00:52:44But don't worry,
00:52:45head of security Tony Green
00:52:46has already taken him away
00:52:47for 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
00:52:58ingredients from Miss Cross?
00:52:59He sure did.
00:53:00Your nephew's a thief.
00:53:02One of our own
00:53:03stealing from Miss Cross?
00:53:05This could ruin
00:53:06our family's ties
00:53:07with Eagle Solutions.
00:53:08Yeah, this is bad.
00:53:09If Miss Cross extends
00:53:10the punishment
00:53:10to the whole family,
00:53:11we could lose everything.
00:53:14Derek,
00:53:15Eagle Tech's new lead
00:53:15programmer, Elijah Green,
00:53:16just arrived at
00:53:17the Eagle Solutions office.
00:53:18Miss Cross asked me
00:53:18to prepare a banquet for him.
00:53:19I need you to come help me.
00:53:26Relax.
00:53:28I'll protect you guys.
00:53:33Eli,
00:53:34tell me the truth.
00:53:36When exactly
00:53:37did you enter
00:53:37Miss Cross's office
00:53:38and steal her things?
00:53:40And what else
00:53:41did you take
00:53:41besides those ingredients?
00:53:43You should really
00:53:43clarify this
00:53:44with Miss Cross first.
00:53:46I don't want you
00:53:47to lose your job
00:53:47when she finds out
00:53:48you tortured
00:53:48an innocent guy.
00:53:52Motherfucker!
00:53:52Am I going to have
00:53:53to beat you bloody
00:53:54before you fess up?
00:53:55You're the one
00:53:56who's going to have
00:53:56some confessing to do.
00:53:57If you let me go now,
00:53:59I still might be willing
00:53:59to put in a good word
00:54:00for you with Miss Cross.
00:54:01Don't you talk back to me!
00:54:03Looks like you won't
00:54:04learn a thing
00:54:05until you feel some pain.
00:54:11Sir,
00:54:12bad news.
00:54:12No bad news
00:54:13on Christmas!
00:54:15Get out
00:54:15and don't come back
00:54:16until you've got
00:54:17something 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
00:54:22when you have
00:54:23your shit together!
00:54:26Miss Cross is here.
00:54:28Huh?
00:54:29Miss Cross?
00:54:29But it's Christmas.
00:54:30What is she doing here?
00:54:34Oh, Miss Cross!
00:54:35Didn't expect
00:54:35to see you here!
00:54:38Quiet, bitch!
00:54:39Make a fuss
00:54:40in front of Miss Cross
00:54:41and I'll have
00:54:41to rough you up!
00:54:42Tony,
00:54:43what's going on here?
00:54:44Miss Cross,
00:54:45this scumbag Elijah
00:54:45stole two extremely
00:54:46precious items
00:54:47from your office.
00:54:48I've just brought him here
00:54:48to get him to confess
00:54:49his crimes
00:54:50and make sure
00:54:50he didn't steal
00:54:51anything else of yours.
00:54:52And has he confessed
00:54:52to anything?
00:54:53This asshole's
00:54:54a tough cookie.
00:54:54Can't get him to talk.
00:54:55The funniest part is
00:54:56he said you gave him
00:54:57those things as a gift.
00:54:58Isn't that absurd?
00:55:00Don't worry,
00:55:00I'll make him regret
00:55:01what he did.
00:55:01No one gets away
00:55:03with stealing
00:55:03from our president.
00:55:05Ava,
00:55:05are all your employees
00:55:06like this?
00:55:07Acting on their own whims?
00:55:09Abusing their power?
00:55:10No wonder you guys
00:55:11are no match
00:55:12for gray tech.
00:55:12You've got a gang
00:55:13of hooblins
00:55:13working for you.
00:55:18You piece of shit.
00:55:19You can't talk
00:55:20to Miss Cross like that.
00:55:21I ought to beat
00:55:22your head in right now.
00:55:26Stop!
00:55:30The real piece of shit
00:55:32here is you.
00:55:33Mrs. Cross,
00:55:34what did I do?
00:55:35Tony,
00:55:36what made you think
00:55:37you could lock up
00:55:37Elijah's family
00:55:38and lay hands on them?
00:55:40Ma'am,
00:55:40like I said,
00:55:41they stole some precious
00:55:42items of yours.
00:55:43You fool.
00:55:43Who says he stole anything?
00:55:45I gave those precious
00:55:46items to him as a gift.
00:55:47Now untie them
00:55:48and tell them you're sorry.
00:55:52Mr. and Mrs. Green,
00:55:54I'm terribly sorry.
00:55:55This must have been
00:55:56very distressing
00:55:56for you both.
00:55:57We're okay.
00:55:58Thank you, Miss Cross.
00:55:59Uh, Eli,
00:56:00I'm sorry.
00:56:01I shouldn't have blamed you.
00:56:02I hope you can let this slide.
00:56:03I told you I didn't steal them
00:56:04and you ignored me.
00:56:05Ava,
00:56:05I'll let you deal
00:56:06with this chump
00:56:06however you see fit.
00:56:08Tony,
00:56:09you've been extremely reckless
00:56:10and you disregarded protocol.
00:56:12You pretty much broke
00:56:13every rule in the book.
00:56:14For that,
00:56:14you're fired
00:56:15and I'll make sure
00:56:16no one else ever hires you.
00:56:21Eli,
00:56:21please,
00:56:22we're family.
00:56:23Tell Miss Cross
00:56:24to reconsider.
00:56:25It won't happen again,
00:56:26I swear.
00:56:29Sadie,
00:56:30you're my last hope.
00:56:31Please,
00:56:31get them to change
00:56:32their minds.
00:56:33I need this job
00:56:34to take care
00:56:34of the wife and kids.
00:56:35We can't get by
00:56:36without it.
00:56:38Eli,
00:56:38Tony said some bad things
00:56:40to us,
00:56:40but he means well.
00:56:41He was just blinded
00:56:42by that jerk,
00:56:43Derek.
00:56:43Why don't you-
00:56:43Mom,
00:56:44stop defending him.
00:56:46So were we family
00:56:47when 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
00:56:52accountable for his actions.
00:57:01If I'd known Eli
00:57:02was so close
00:57:02with Mrs. Cross,
00:57:03I would've taken his side.
00:57:05Now look at me.
00:57:11Shit!
00:57:12Our firewall's under attack!
00:57:13I'm locked out!
00:57:14Me too!
00:57:15At this rate,
00:57:15the server's gonna crash!
00:57:18Miss Gray,
00:57:19our server just crashed!
00:57:24What's going on?
00:57:25Is it those hackers again?
00:57:27Yes, ma'am,
00:57:27and they're back with vengeance.
00:57:28They were able to breach
00:57:29the firewall within seconds.
00:57:30If we don't act now,
00:57:31it'll be too late!
00:57:32We'll tell everyone
00:57:33to get to work!
00:57:34They're always boasting
00:57:35about how smart they are,
00:57:36so now's the time
00:57:37to fucking show it!
00:57:38Miss Gray,
00:57:38the R&D department
00:57:39is doing its best,
00:57:40but these hackers
00:57:41are 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
00:57:45when it pissed their pants most!
00:57:47Ma'am,
00:57:47how about getting Elijah
00:57:48to come back and help us?
00:57:49Elijah?
00:57:50That slacker I fired?
00:57:52What good would that do?
00:57:53Well,
00:57:53you may not have heard,
00:57:54but Elijah is the top hacker
00:57:56in the world.
00:57:56He might be the only one
00:57:57who can rescue us.
00:57:58Seriously?
00:57:58Then he's probably
00:57:59the one hacking us right now!
00:58:01We're not able
00:58:02to confirm that at the moment.
00:58:02Bring him to me now!
00:58:03Tell him if he doesn't help us,
00:58:04he's going to jail!
00:58:05Miss Gray,
00:58:06you just fired him yesterday.
00:58:07He probably won't be
00:58:07too thrilled by this request.
00:58:09He's the one
00:58:09who built our server, right?
00:58:10Then it's his problem to solve!
00:58:12Call him and tell him
00:58:13he's obligated
00:58:14to come fix this now!
00:58:15Ma'am,
00:58:16I suggest you contact
00:58:17your father
00:58:17and get his advice on this.
00:58:21Samantha,
00:58:22I heard the company server crashed.
00:58:23What the hell is going on?
00:58:26Dad,
00:58:27shit's hit the fan.
00:58:28We're getting attacked
00:58:29by hackers
00:58:30and our team can't do
00:58:31anything to stop it!
00:58:32What do you mean
00:58:32they can't stop it?
00:58:33Where's Elijah?
00:58:34If he's there,
00:58:35we've got nothing to worry about.
00:58:36I made a mistake.
00:58:37I feel like such an idiot.
00:58:39Yesterday,
00:58:40I had an argument
00:58:41with Elijah
00:58:41and I fired him.
00:58:43You fired him?
00:58:44God damn it,
00:58:45Samantha!
00:58:45Eli is the most talented
00:58:46programmer in the world!
00:58:47Everything great tech
00:58:48has accomplished
00:58:49is thanks to him!
00:58:50you've got to be exaggerating.
00:58:51One single employee
00:58:52can't make that big a difference.
00:58:54You moron!
00:58:55If he's not important,
00:58:56then tell me why
00:58:57those hackers are destroying us
00:58:58as we speak!
00:58:59Elijah built the server?
00:59:01How do you know
00:59:01he didn't make it vulnerable
00:59:02on purpose?
00:59:03Dad,
00:59:04just give me some time
00:59:04and I'll set things straight.
00:59:05Silence!
00:59:06Apologize to Elijah
00:59:07and get him back on board
00:59:08now!
00:59:09If you can't do that,
00:59:10you're no daughter of mine.
00:59:14Ma'am,
00:59:14what did he say?
00:59:15He told me to apologize
00:59:16to Elijah
00:59:17and bring him back.
00:59:18No fucking way
00:59:19am I saying sorry
00:59:20to that asshole!
00:59:21Miss Gray,
00:59:21in times like this
00:59:21we need to stay calm.
00:59:22How about you just ask him
00:59:23to come back
00:59:23and get the server working?
00:59:25You can save the apology
00:59:26for later.
00:59:35Elijah,
00:59:36I truly feel awful
00:59:37about what happened today.
00:59:38I'll put measures in place
00:59:39to ensure that
00:59:40it doesn't happen again.
00:59:46Hello,
00:59:46who is this?
00:59:47Mr. Green,
00:59:47the hackers are back
00:59:48and Gray Tech's server
00:59:49has just crashed.
00:59:50You're the one
00:59:51who knows the server
00:59:51in and out
00:59:52so we need you
00:59:52to get it back up
00:59:53and running.
00:59:54Oh,
00:59:55hello Ms. Gray.
00:59:56Sorry,
00:59:56but I'm no longer
00:59:57an employee of Gray Tech.
00:59:58Plus,
00:59:59I'm on vacation right now.
01:00:00This is your responsibility.
01:00:02You know,
01:00:03I've got reason to believe
01:00:04that you're the one
01:00:04behind this attack.
01:00:06If you don't help us,
01:00:07be prepared to face
01:00:07legal action.
01:00:09Just leave me alone,
01:00:10okay?
01:00:10With you in charge,
01:00:12Gray Tech will go bankrupt
01:00:12before long anyway.
01:00:15What was that about?
01:00:16Gray Tech's server
01:00:17crashed again
01:00:18and Ms. Gray
01:00:19accused me
01:00:20of hacking them.
01:00:21She begged me
01:00:23to come back
01:00:23and fix it
01:00:24and implied she would
01:00:25sue me if I didn't.
01:00:27Crazy, right?
01:00:30Elijah,
01:00:30you little shit!
01:00:32You really think
01:00:32you're hot stuff,
01:00:33huh?
01:00:34May,
01:00:35get the car.
01:00:35We're bringing him back
01:00:36and I don't care
01:00:37if it means kidnapping him.
01:00:38Isn't Ms. Gray
01:00:39their new CEO?
01:00:40The one that fired you
01:00:42for no reason?
01:00:42So what are you gonna do?
01:00:45I'm gonna make her
01:00:46look like a fool.
01:00:47That's what.
01:00:48She decided to fire me
01:00:49and now she's living
01:00:50with the consequences.
01:00:52Elijah,
01:00:53you're our lead programmer now.
01:00:55If she slanders you,
01:00:56she's slandering
01:00:57all 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.
01:01:02I'm sure you've got
01:01:03things to do.
01:01:04I'm gonna take my parents
01:01:05home and rest
01:01:06before 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.
01:01:21Mr. Henderson,
01:01:23how are things going?
01:01:24Where's Elijah?
01:01:25Let's see.
01:01:26He must be receiving
01:01:26some special treatment
01:01:27at the Eagle Solutions office.
01:01:30Listen to me.
01:01:30Don't lay another finger on him.
01:01:32Something urgent came up
01:01:33and we need his help.
01:01:34What the hell?
01:01:36Why does Gray Tech
01:01:37need 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,
01:01:45I'm screwed.
01:01:49Guys, I'm freaking out.
01:01:50If Vice President Henderson
01:01:51doesn't speak on our behalf,
01:01:53our family's reputation
01:01:53will be ruined.
01:02:00Tony, what's going on?
01:02:01Why the long face?
01:02:03Mrs. Cross,
01:02:04she fired me.
01:02:07What happened?
01:02:08Tell us what happened.
01:02:09Those ingredients
01:02:10Elijah used in the cookies,
01:02:12they really were a gift
01:02:13from Miss Cross.
01:02:14She saw that I'd locked
01:02:14Elijah up and beaten him,
01:02:16so she fired me on the spot.
01:02:17What?
01:02:18They were a gift
01:02:19from Miss Cross?
01:02:20How can that be?
01:02:23Tony, we know
01:02:24what kind of person Eli is.
01:02:25He must have blackmailed
01:02:26Miss Cross into giving him
01:02:27those gifts.
01:02:27I wonder, but either way,
01:02:29there's nothing we can do
01:02:29about it.
01:02:30Tony, what are we going to do
01:02:31now that you're out of work?
01:02:35See, George,
01:02:36you're lucky I stopped you
01:02:36from fighting with Eli.
01:02:38Otherwise, we might be
01:02:38in the same boat
01:02:39as Tony and Aubrey.
01:02:40You're right, honey.
01:02:40That was a good call.
01:02:42I ought to listen to you
01:02:42more often.
01:02:47Emma, you're on good terms
01:02:48with Derek.
01:02:49See if he can get his dad
01:02:51to put in a good word for us.
01:02:53Miss Cross can still
01:02:54change her mind.
01:02:59Emma, what happened?
01:03:01Derek, Miss Cross
01:03:02just fired Tony.
01:03:04What?
01:03:04Tony, what did you do?
01:03:06It turns out that
01:03:06Elijah's ingredients
01:03:07were really a gift
01:03:08from Miss Cross.
01:03:09I didn't know
01:03:09they were friends.
01:03:11Please, Mr. Henderson,
01:03:12ask Miss Cross
01:03:12to let me keep my job.
01:03:14All right, just let me
01:03:14handle this.
01:03:15I'll make sure
01:03:15your family is fine.
01:03:18Lucky for you guys,
01:03:19I have a vested interest
01:03:20in what happens
01:03:20to Elijah and Miss Cross.
01:03:22If Elijah doesn't
01:03:23go back to gray tech,
01:03:24Miss Cross is going
01:03:25to lose her position
01:03:26as president.
01:03:27Soon, Eagle Solutions
01:03:28will belong to the Hendersons.
01:03:30Thank you, Mr. Henderson.
01:03:32If you help me
01:03:32get my job back,
01:03:33I'll be forever
01:03:34indebted to you.
01:03:35Come on, call me Derek.
01:03:37And I won't just
01:03:38give you your job back.
01:03:39I'll see to it
01:03:40that you receive a promotion.
01:03:42Elijah, I have to thank you.
01:03:44Your little friendship
01:03:45with Miss Cross
01:03:46is turning into
01:03:46a perfect weapon.
