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.
00:00:30The 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.
00:00:37My system's been hijacked!
00:00:39It's mine too!
00:00:40What do we do?
00:00:42How do we fix this?
00:00:46Elijah, we've been hacked.
00:00:48We need your help.
00:00:50What's the problem this time?
00:00:52Didn'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.
00:01:02These guys are using virtual IPs.
00:01:04They're not messing around.
00:01:05I've just blocked about 500 IP addresses.
00:01:07Jesus, Elisha.
00:01:08You'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.
00:01:27Then, wouldn't that make him the world's number one hacker?
00:01:35It's done.
00:01:36Elijah, you're incredible!
00:01:37One on 500, and you barely broke a sweat!
00:01:45It's been a long day.
00:01:46You all should get home early.
00:01:47You guys heard Elijah?
00:01:48Let'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...
00:02:02Are you coming home for Christmas?
00:02:03I'm literally on my way.
00:02:05Oh, and I'll be bringing my girlfriend, too.
00:02:07You and Dad are going to love her.
00:02:09Have someone on duty in case anything comes up.
00:02:12If you need me, I'll be a call away.
00:02:13It's the holidays, Elijah.
00:02:15Just forget about work for a while.
00:02:21I don't remember scheduling a Christmas party at the office.
00:02:26Um, who's this?
00:02:27This is our CEO's daughter, Samantha Gray.
00:02:30She's just returned from overseas.
00:02:33Due to her father's poor health, she'll be acting as Gray Tech's stand-if CEO.
00:02:38Here'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.
00:02:46I can explain.
00:02:47Silence!
00:02:48You're fired.
00:02:51Starting today, there are going to be some major changes around here.
00:02:55I'm going to weed out each and every slapper in this office.
00:03:02Elijah, 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.
00:03:17We'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 we were hit with an unprecedented attack
00:03:40from highly sophisticated hackers.
00:03:42Through teamwork and days of tireless work, we 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, we need to be constantly improving and pushing the envelope.
00:04:01And for anyone who stays home on Christmas, consider yourself unemployed!
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.
00:04:11Surely you can understand.
00:04:12Is your salary for going home and stuffing gifts into sockings?
00:04:16Have you forgotten who feeds you, who houses you, who gives you cars, and who pays for your children's schools?
00:04:21Ma'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.
00:04:42If I don't bring him down, Gray 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?
00:04:54Don't be dramatic.
00:04:55Since 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 and to make sure all of you get raises.
00:05:20Besides, while we're all home decorating Christmas trees, who's going to solve user issues?
00:05:25Adam has already arranged around-the-clock coverage.
00:05:27No user issue will be missed.
00:05:30Mr. Green, you have repeatedly challenged my authority.
00:05:34I have no choice.
00:05:37You 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, and Gray Tech is no place for arrogant preps like you.
00:05:55Fine then, do whatever you want.
00:05:57But you're making a big mistake.
00:06:01Wait!
00:06:02Before you leave, I need you to return all the confidential company data in your possession.
00:06:07What?
00:06:07I have nothing to give you.
00:06:09Liar!
00:06:10Return everything in its original form, or else!
00:06:13I 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!
00:06:24What 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...
00:06:30I'll tell you what he is.
00:06:31He's a spy and a traitor.
00:06:33Seize him so we can take back what's ours.
00:06:38That's all he has.
00:06:40Elijah Greens, this is your last chance.
00:06:44Turn over the data, now!
00:06:46Samantha Gray, I told you I have nothing to give you!
00:06:49You'll have to surrender sooner or later.
00:06:51And I won't just take the data, I'll take your car, your house, and 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, 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.
00:07:10Listen to me.
00:07:11Take this man's hands and beat them to a plum so that he never types on a keyboard again.
00:07:15Are you deaf?
00:07:16If 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.
00:07:35Once the tech world finds out what he's done, other companies won't touch him with a ten-foot rope.
00:07:39All right, have 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.
00:08:07From this day on, you'll be working as my personal assistant.
00:08:16Mr. Greens, we were just following orders.
00:08:18You'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, thank 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.
00:08:35We need him on our side at all costs.
00:08:36Yes, sir.
00:08:37I'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?
00:08:47If we bring him on board, Lions Tech will catapult to the top of the tech world.
00:08:50We can't let this chance pass us up.
00:08:55Elijah, I heard you got fired.
00:08:57I'd like to formally offer you the role of lead engineer at Eagle Tech.
00:09:00We would be overjoyed to have someone like you on our team.
00:09:02Ava, I literally just got fired.
00:09:04I'm not in the mood for this now.
00:09:05All I want to do is go home and enjoy the holidays.
00:09:10All this time, I've been getting home late after Grace is asleep.
00:09:13But when she gets back today, I'm going to finally propose to her and then take her to meet my
00:09:16family.
00:09:18Derek, why so rough?
00:09:20Come on, I've been waiting forever.
00:09:22Now that your aunt's gone, we can finally get it on.
00:09:24Babe, I know you want me.
00:09:25You're gross.
00:09:25Just talk to that stupid boyfriend of yours already.
00:09:28There'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.
00:09:36That one time you forgot your ID and we couldn't book the hotel room, it was your dumbass boy
00:09:39tool who came to pick you up.
00:09:41I can wait to bring Grace to mom and dad.
00:09:44Derek, we should really do this somewhere else.
00:09:46What if he comes back?
00:09:47See?
00:09:48Nothing to be afraid of.
00:09:49That loser just got fired from Gray Tech and banned across the industry.
00:09:52If he was still a lead programmer, I might fear him a little bit, but now he's just some jobless
00:09:56schmuck.
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, we'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.
00:10:20Come on, Elijah.
00:10:21How much longer are you going to keep fooling yourself?
00:10:23Grace, why are you treating me like this after 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 that you did for me.
00:10:31You see that bag?
00:10:31Derek spent 100 grand on it for me.
00:10:33Did you ever get me anything that nice?
00:10:35Material objects don't prove a person's love?
00:10:37Eli, as far as I know, you're unemployed.
00:10:39You can't even put food on the table, so don't come to me with these abstract muses on love.
00:10:44Face it.
00:10:45You're a capital L loser.
00:10:47A beauty like Grace needs a real man in her life.
00:10:51But you?
00:10:52You're a fucking joke.
00:10:54Yeah, Derek's dad is Rick Henderson, vice president of Eagle Solutions,
00:10:57a subsidiary of the second biggest tech company in the country.
00:11:02That means Derek has superior DNA.
00:11:04Can you blame me for choosing him?
00:11:05Grace, our love, does 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.
00:11:21All right, I guess you've shown me your true colors.
00:11:23Starting today, let's go our separate ways and forget we ever happened.
00:11:26But don't come crying if this decision comes 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.
00:11:44Don'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.
00:12:15Elijah said he'd be back for the holidays,
00:12:17but it's Christmas Day and there's still no sign of him.
00:12:24Sadie, 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.
00:12:37We'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.
00:12:43Now 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?
00:12:57Dad, doesn't Uncle Mark owe us 100,000 bucks?
00:12:59Get this, Elijah 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.
00:13:09Your son just has to kill someone.
00:13:14Kill someone?
00:13:15If you agree, I'll write off your debt,
00:13:18and you'll get a million dollar reward.
00:13:20He just has to kill one person.
00:13:22Plus, a family like yours can't afford to be picky right now.
00:13:25Nora?
00:13:26That would be Ms. Nora Green,
00:13:28the newest sales manager at Eagle Solutions,
00:13:30a subsidiary of the famous Eagle Tech.
00:13:31A woman with a very promising career ahead of her.
00:13:34This is a contract from Derek Henderson,
00:13:35son of Rick Henderson.
00:13:36These are the terms.
00:13:38They have an enemy that they need to disappear.
00:13:39If Elijah can take him out,
00:13:41the Hendersons will give you one 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?
00:13:52You're asking Eli to kill somebody?
00:13:54Who knows?
00:13:55Maybe it's his calling to be a hitman.
00:13:57Plus, if Elijah gains the respect of the Henderson family,
00:14:00you guys are set for life.
00:14:01Nora, Steven, please don't ask this of us.
00:14:04Eli wouldn't hurt a fly.
00:14:05You haven't seen him for three years.
00:14:07He 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 back 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, and 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!
00:14:40All right, you wrinkly bitch.
00:14:41Let's see what you'll choose, your son or your life.
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.
00:15:04Shouldn't you be at home celebrating?
00:15:05Look who the cat dragged in.
00:15:07You finally decided to show up, huh?
00:15:08And not even a long time no-see Uncle Steven,
00:15:10or a how-have-you-been Uncle Steven?
00:15:12Must 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?
00:15:21Huh.
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.
00:15:39Here, 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 Steven 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 Steven.
00:15:59But I never thought he would-
00:16:01How did 100 grand turn into 500?
00:16:03You're taking advantage of my mother.
00:16:04This is extortion!
00:16:05Technically, it should be a lot more than 500.
00:16:07That's with a family discount included.
00:16:09I'm trying to make things easier.
00:16:10You're hiking up the interest rate.
00:16:12This is against the law.
00:16:14Against the law?
00:16:14Around here, I am the law.
00:16:16Elijah, this isn't a matter of right and wrong.
00:16:18It's simple.
00:16:19Either you give me the money,
00:16:20or 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.
00:16:34What?
00:16:35They want to turn me into a hitman?
00:16:37I refuse to comply with such an outrageous arrangement.
00:16:39We're taking this to court.
00:16:41Please, don't be so naive.
00:16:42I forgot to tell you,
00:16:43I've been promoted to sales manager of Eagle Solutions.
00:16:46With the type of lawyer I can afford,
00:16:47you wouldn't stand a chance.
00:16:49That'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?
00:16:58I 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.
00:17:07But no amount of knowledge can make up for the fact that you're a penniless loser.
00:17:14Breaking news.
00:17:15In 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.
00:17:22They 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.
00:17:28Elijah, 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.
00:17:38I'll be fine.
00:17:39Elijah, if you've got any sense in you,
00:17:41you'll hurry up and sign that contract.
00:17:43Don't worry, Mom and Dad.
00:17:44Sign it!
00:17:45And your mom and dad will get a million-dollar reward.
00:17:48Otherwise, if you die one day,
00:17:50and 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 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.
00:18:06I'm not some pus-over that you can manipulate as you please.
00:18:09And you need to get one thing straight.
00:18:11Eagle 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.
00:18:19Is that a threat?
00:18:21Nora, I thought you'd have this taken care of by now.
00:18:28Derek, 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, Stephen.
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.
00:18:52Yeah, I know this chump.
00:18:53Matter of fact, I was just at his place yesterday,
00:18:55having some...
00:18:57fun with his girlfriend.
00:18:59Derek, you're such a bad boy.
00:19:02Relax.
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.
00:19:10Once 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,
00:19:17he 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.
00:19:33You aren't going to do jack shit.
00:19:35Guys, I've had it with this ungrateful bastard.
00:19:37Trash the room, now!
00:19:40You know, maybe 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 before I sign that paper.
00:19:51Then, what should we do?
00:19:54Indeed, what should we do?
00:19:55You know, this lady might be past her prime,
00:19:58but she still has a certain charm about her.
00:20:02Tell you what,
00:20:03if you come over here and kiss me right here,
00:20:05we 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,
00:20:20I won't ask you to pay me back.
00:20:22You best think long and hard.
00:20:24Come on, I'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.
00:20:34Guys, bring the old man over here!
00:20:40Keep your hands off my dad!
00:20:44You 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,
00:20:56and I'll let your crippled husband
00:20:58and 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!
00:21:07You can't let them win!
00:21:13Nora!
00:21:14Have you lost your conscience?
00:21:15She's your aunt!
00:21:17Are you really just gonna stand here
00:21:18and watch this guy assault her?
00:21:19Please.
00:21:20All 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,
00:21:24no one would dare touch her.
00:21:25You're sick!
00:21:27You care more about money and power
00:21:29than 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.
00:21:36If Derek touches my mother,
00:21:38I'm gonna make you all suffer!
00:21:40And 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!
00:21:59Mr. Sky and Mr. Lyons as well!
00:22:01On Christmas Day, nonetheless!
00:22:04Miss Cross?
00:22:05Are you the Miss Cross from Eagle Tech?
00:22:08You and these two gentlemen,
00:22:10please,
00:22:11you have to help my son Elijah!
00:22:14You have to save our family!
00:22:17You have to save our family!
00:22:27Mrs. Cross,
00:22:28I'm begging you!
00:22:30Please,
00:22:31help Elisha!
00:22:33Please!
00:22:33Just calm down.
00:22:35Calm down and let's talk, okay?
00:22:37What are you looking at, old Furt?
00:22:39Crying about your problems to Miss Cross
00:22:40won't change anything.
00:22:41Mr. Henderson,
00:22:42I think you owe us an explanation.
00:22:44You just showed up at their house
00:22:45looking for trouble.
00:22:46It's Christmas for Christ's sake.
00:22:49Miss Cross,
00:22:49what are you suggesting?
00:22:50This family owes a fat stack of cash
00:22:52to my girlfriend,
00:22:52and they're refusing to return it.
00:22:53I just came here to support her.
00:22:57It's Cross.
00:22:58Uh,
00:22:59Merry Christmas.
00:23:00I'm Nora Green,
00:23:01sales manager at Eagle Solutions.
00:23:03There 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,
00:23:10uh,
00:23:10last year,
00:23:11my father's brother, Mark,
00:23:12needed an emergency procedure,
00:23:14so we lent them 100 grand.
00:23:16Fast 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.
00:23:24You lent us 100 grand,
00:23:25and now you're asking for 500.
00:23:27How is that not extortion?
00:23:29Plus,
00:23:30you're trying to force me to kill somebody,
00:23:32which is illegal.
00:23:34What?
00:23:35This is starting to get weird.
00:23:37Miss Cross,
00:23:38they'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
00:23:44in exchange for Elijah
00:23:45eliminating one of my enemies.
00:23:46He'd never run into that kind of money
00:23:47if it wasn't for me.
00:23:49Consider 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
00:23:54keeps rejecting the offer.
00:23:55This is an egregious offense
00:23:57to Derek,
00:23:57Eagle Tech,
00:23:58and everyone in our circle.
00:23:59So today,
00:24:00we came here to remind
00:24:01these ungrateful scum
00:24:03what happens
00:24:04when you mess with people in power.
00:24:10bring that scroundrel over here
00:24:11and get him to apologize
00:24:13to Miss Cross
00:24:13and the others.
00:24:15Enough!
00:24:16Mr. Lyons,
00:24:17got anything to say?
00:24:19Yeah,
00:24:20I never knew
00:24:20the son of a measly
00:24:21vice plate president
00:24:22could speak for all people in power.
00:24:24You learn something new every day.
00:24:27Hear 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?
00:24:35Miss 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
00:24:41who you're messing with?
00:24:41Elijah's the former lead programmer
00:24:43at Gray Tech.
00:24:43He could pay you back tenfold
00:24:44if you wanted.
00:24:45And if you think you can turn him
00:24:46into 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,
00:24:56you think I'm lying?
00:24:57Derek,
00:24:58please tell me you at least knew
00:24:59where Elijah worked.
00:25:00Well,
00:25:01I...
00:25:02Why is Miss Cross
00:25:03siding with Elijah?
00:25:04Whatever,
00:25:05better just go along with it for now.
00:25:06I can always deal with Elijah later.
00:25:11You liar!
00:25:12You were just using me
00:25:13this 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
00:25:24to force you to sign that contract.
00:25:25I hope you can forgive me.
00:25:30Derek,
00:25:31why are you...
00:25:34Why am I what?
00:25:36Nora,
00:25:37I can't support someone
00:25:38who has no respect for family
00:25:40and who tries to hurt
00:25:41their own cousin.
00:25:43You're heartless.
00:25:44Mrs. Cross,
00:25:46what do you suggest
00:25:47we do with these two snakes?
00:25:49Nora,
00:25:50you're morally bankrupt.
00:25:51You'll be immediately removed
00:25:52from your position
00:25:53and will never work for us again.
00:25:56As for your father,
00:25:57he'll be blacklisted
00:25:58across all Eagle companies
00:25:59and all his current projects
00:26:01will be canceled at once.
00:26:03Elok,
00:26:04please,
00:26:04you and I are family.
00:26:05Tell Mrs. Cross
00:26:06not to fire me.
00:26:07I need this job.
00:26:08Huh,
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?
00:26:12Eli,
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
00:26:16I ever said it,
00:26:17okay,
00:26:17please?
00:26:17Listen,
00:26:18Eli,
00:26:18we got carried away.
00:26:19You don't need to pay us back today.
00:26:21Matter of fact,
00:26:22you 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.
00:26:28No,
00:26:28Elijah,
00:26:29please allow me.
00:26:29I'd be happy
00:26:30to pay off your debt as well.
00:26:32What's going on?
00:26:34All of them are siding with Elijah?
00:26:36Isn't he just a jobless nobody now?
00:26:38This 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 like this?
00:26:47Aunt Sadie,
00:26:49let's just call that
00:26:50a hundred grand
00:26:51a gift from my dad and I.
00:26:53You don't have to pay us back.
00:26:54Just get Elijah
00:26:55to tell Mrs. Cross
00:26:56not to fire me.
00:26:58Please,
00:26:59I'm your niece.
00:27:05That's right,
00:27:06we're family.
00:27:07We know Mark
00:27:08has had a rough year,
00:27:09so let's just call it even.
00:27:10Covering Mark's surgery
00:27:11was my responsibility
00:27:13as his older brother.
00:27:16Eli,
00:27:16go on.
00:27:17You ought to put in
00:27:17a good word for them.
00:27:21Did you forget
00:27:22everything that just happened?
00:27:24If Ava and the others
00:27:25didn't show up,
00:27:26I'd probably be dead
00:27:27right now.
00:27:29And you and Dad
00:27:30would still be getting
00:27:31tortured 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,
00:27:43this 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 about the money.
00:27:52You've already lost my trust.
00:27:55Eli,
00:27:56please 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,
00:28:04you'd get out of here
00:28:05before Elijah loses his cool.
00:28:07Unless you enjoy
00:28:08embarrassing yourselves
00:28:09themselves like this.
00:28:16Stop right there.
00:28:17Mr. Green isn't done
00:28:18with you yet.
00:28:21Mr. Green is a respected
00:28:23figure in the tech world.
00:28:24You don't just get a free pass
00:28:25to leave after terrorizing
00:28:27him and his family.
00:28:28Mr. Sky,
00:28:29Mr. Lyons,
00:28:30I'm deeply sorry
00:28:31for what I did to Elijah.
00:28:33I promised to learn
00:28:34from my mistakes.
00:28:37Mr. 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 exiting my dad.
00:28:51And the third was
00:28:52for trying to make me
00:28:53into a hitman.
00:28:54But you and I
00:28:54aren't finished.
00:28:56That was just the first
00:28:57step of my revenge.
00:28:58Now get out.
00:29:00Elijah,
00:29:01you don't just hit me
00:29:01and get away with it.
00:29:03Next time I see you,
00:29:04you're dead.
00:29:09Let's put that mess
00:29:10behind us.
00:29:11I'd like to formally
00:29:11offer you a job
00:29:12at Eagle Tech.
00:29:13In fact,
00:29:13we'd like to make you
00:29:13our new lead programmer.
00:29:15So would we.
00:29:16And Liven's Tech too.
00:29:16Elijah,
00:29:17this is Eagle Tech's
00:29:18brand 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, Miss Cross.
00:29:24$100 million is hard to top.
00:29:26But Mr. Green,
00:29:26Sky Tech is no slouch either.
00:29:27If you agree to my offer,
00:29:28I'll give you
00:29:29a $150 million hiring bonus.
00:29:30Make no mistake, Mr. Green,
00:29:31Lion's Tech would be
00:29:32just as honored to have you.
00:29:32I'll have $200 million
00:29:33in your pocket
00:29:34by the end of the day.
00:29:35Listen,
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
00:29:39accept all that money.
00:29:40Elijah,
00:29:40I know your father's
00:29:42health costs are piling up.
00:29:43Use this to cover them.
00:29:44You can give it back
00:29:45when your finances
00:29:46are more stabled.
00:29:47I...
00:29:48I guess I'll take it then.
00:29:50Thanks, Ava.
00:29:50So,
00:29:51that means you accept
00:29:52my offer, right?
00:29:53You'll join Eagle Tech?
00:29:54Damn.
00:29:54Should have started
00:29:55recruiting him sooner.
00:29:56I know.
00:29:56Guess she beat us to it.
00:29:58Mr. Sky, Mr. Lions,
00:30:00I won't forget your kindness.
00:30:01We won't be working together now,
00:30:02but I do hope
00:30:03our paths cross in the future.
00:30:04That's the way you feel?
00:30:05Then I didn't come here
00:30:06for nothing.
00:30:06Thank you, Mr. Green.
00:30:07Yes, thank you, Mr. Green.
00:30:08I'll arrange a welcome banquet
00:30:09for you at the Imperial Hotel
00:30:11this evening.
00:30:12Ava,
00:30:12you've been very good to me,
00:30:13but a banquet would be
00:30:14a bit much.
00:30:15No, I'm not changing my mind.
00:30:16I want the whole world
00:30:17to know that Elijah Green
00:30:19is Eagle Tech's
00:30:19new lead programmer.
00:30:23All right, fine.
00:30:24But nothing too fancy,
00:30:25all 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.
00:30:29Well, do you have anything
00:30:29else going 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
00:30:38to 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
00:30:47told me that all your aunts
00:30:48are busy as well.
00:30:48He said that if you came back,
00:30:50we should get together today.
00:30:51Nora,
00:30:52I'm sorry for how I acted earlier.
00:30:53I was just thinking
00:30:54on the fly and improvising.
00:30:57Derek,
00:30:57you have to help.
00:30:58I can't lose that job.
00:30:59It means everything to me.
00:31:01Derek,
00:31:02my family's having a Christmas party later.
00:31:04You should come.
00:31:04Everyone wants to see you.
00:31:05Of course,
00:31:06I'll be there.
00:31:07Was that the latest side cheek
00:31:09trying to steal you away from me?
00:31:10Just a friend inviting me
00:31:11to her Christmas gathering.
00:31:13Don't worry,
00:31:14Nora.
00:31:14I'll find a way
00:31:14to get you back
00:31:15your sales manager position.
00:31:17Ava Cross,
00:31:18you stood up for Elijah,
00:31:19and now you'll go down
00:31:20with him too.
00:31:25Long time no see,
00:31:26everybody.
00:31:27Merry Christmas
00:31:28and Happy New Year.
00:31:29Wow,
00:31:30look who it is.
00:31:31How long has it been?
00:31:32We thought you'd forgotten about us.
00:31:36What flavor are those?
00:31:37Horse shit?
00:31:39Seriously,
00:31:39Eli,
00:31:39that's the best you can do
00:31:40after not showing up
00:31:41for three years?
00:31:42Should have saved
00:31:42your stupid cookies for Santa.
00:31:43I have a bird feeder
00:31:44in my yard.
00:31:45Maybe I'll crumble
00:31:46a few of them up
00:31:47to feed to the crows.
00:31:50As for the rest,
00:31:51they'll make a nice meal
00:31:52for some homeless guy
00:31:53on 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?
00:32:03Of course you offer them
00:32:04to the old man
00:32:05who's lost all his taste bubs.
00:32:07Plus,
00:32:07why take a bite
00:32:08when we can smell
00:32:08the stench from over here?
00:32:10Man,
00:32:11bringing homemade cookies
00:32:12because you're short on cash
00:32:13is one thing,
00:32:13but when you do that
00:32:14and pretend to make
00:32:15a whole grand entrance,
00:32:16you look pretty sad.
00:32:18See how stale they look?
00:32:20Probably weeks old already.
00:32:21He's trying to give
00:32:22Grandpa Jim diarrhea.
00:32:23Fine,
00:32:24you 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.
00:32:30Enough games,
00:32:31Eli.
00:32:31Shut up and stop playing dumb.
00:32:34Unbelievable.
00:32:35This boy is an embarrassment
00:32:36to the whole family.
00:32:40Someone help.
00:32:41No,
00:32:42I lost again.
00:32:43where 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
00:32:51my parents are always talking about?
00:32:57Merry Christmas.
00:32:59So,
00:32:59where's my present?
00:33:02Sorry,
00:33:03I came here in a rush,
00:33:04so I couldn't bring gifts
00:33:05for everyone.
00:33:06How about I get an App Store gift card
00:33:08and send it to you later?
00:33:09You're fooling no one,
00:33:11Eli.
00:33:11If you're broke,
00:33:12just say it,
00:33:13instead of making empty promises
00:33:14to a kid.
00:33:15Yeah,
00:33:15no one wants a $5 gift card
00:33:17from you anyway.
00:33:19My other cousins gave me
00:33:20super cool gifts.
00:33:22You're the only stingy one.
00:33:24Just 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 $50,000,
00:33:31all for you.
00:33:32Oh,
00:33:32and I see you're a gamer.
00:33:33We can stop by the mall
00:33:34and I'll get you a laptop.
00:33:35Sweet!
00:33:36Thanks, guys,
00:33:37you're the best!
00:33:41Nice try, Eli.
00:33:42Eagle Tech doesn't even make credit cards.
00:33:44Monopoly money is probably worth
00:33:46more than this shit.
00:33:48Typical Eli.
00:33:49Pulling a dumb trick
00:33:50and thinking we'll fall for it.
00:33:55First it was the month-old cookies,
00:33:57now it's a fake credit card.
00:33:58Jesus,
00:33:59how gullible do you think we are?
00:34:00Hey,
00:34:02I've never faked a thing.
00:34:04You guys just don't know it's real.
00:34:17Hey, kids,
00:34:18where are your parents?
00:34:20My cousin just gave me
00:34:2150 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.
00:34:33How 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.
00:34:44You're pushing 30 with nothing to show for it,
00:34:45yet you still have the nerve
00:34:47to 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
00:35:01and those cookies are top quality?
00:35:03Yes.
00:35:04Sadie,
00:35:04you raised a good-for-nothing bastard.
00:35:07If I don't discipline him myself,
00:35:08it's a matter of time
00:35:09before he gets into trouble
00:35:09and disgraces our name.
00:35:12Elijah,
00:35:13I need you to swear on your mother's life
00:35:14that you will never lie to us again.
00:35:16Otherwise,
00:35:16the whole Green family,
00:35:17including your mother and father,
00:35:19will 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
00:35:29to just fess up for once?
00:35:30Yeah, at this rate,
00:35:31you'll never learn from your mistake.
00:35:32Why should I apologize?
00:35:34I didn't do anything.
00:35:38Guys,
00:35:38he really didn't do anything.
00:35:40Mom,
00:35:41don't bother trying to explain.
00:35:43It's a waste of breath.
00:35:44You should know
00:35:45we're just saying this
00:35:46for your own good.
00:35:48Elijah,
00:35:49you've always been
00:35:49the black sheep
00:35:50of 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?
00:36:01Beat me?
00:36:04I have a better idea.
00:36:06Since you won't budge,
00:36:07let's see if your father
00:36:08is just as stubborn.
00:36:09George,
00:36:10Tony,
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!
00:36:18Eli,
00:36:18just say you're sorry
00:36:19and get it over with.
00:36:24Hey!
00:36:25Where the hell were you just now?
00:36:27What's in that bag?
00:36:27You know how cousin Elijah
00:36:29promised to buy me a laptop?
00:36:30I just went to the store.
00:36:31Eli,
00:36:32look what you did!
00:36:33You made him go out
00:36:34all by himself!
00:36:35He could have got robbed
00:36:36or even kidnapped!
00:36:37If my grandson
00:36:38got hurt because
00:36:39of your fake credit card,
00:36:40I would bury you alive!
00:36:41Grandpa,
00:36:42no 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,
00:36:47what are you talking about?
00:36:48Aunt Emma,
00:36:49I'm telling the truth!
00:36:50Look,
00:36:50I bought four laptops!
00:36:59This is the latest Blue Light Max Pro.
00:37:02They're $10,000 each!
00:37:14They're real laptops.
00:37:18They're real, all right.
00:37:20Eli, where'd you get all this money?
00:37:22You're spending it like it grows on trees.
00:37:23I know, right!
00:37:25Eli, where are you working now?
00:37:26If there are any openings,
00:37:28you should hook me up.
00:37:29Yeah, Eli.
00:37:30You know,
00:37:31it gets lonely at the top
00:37:32if you don't take your family with you.
00:37:35Guys,
00:37:35don't get too excited.
00:37:36I'm unemployed right now.
00:37:38Wait,
00:37:38you're out of work?
00:37:39Then why the hell did you spend
00:37:41what little savings you have
00:37:42on Gabe's gift?
00:37:43Are you trying to starve to death?
00:37:45Yeah,
00:37:45the last thing Gabe needs
00:37:46is a role model like you.
00:37:48He should be learning
00:37:48how to spend responsibly.
00:37:51Eli,
00:37:51you're hopeless.
00:37:52Your mother has bent over backwards
00:37:54taking care of your father.
00:37:56The least you could do
00:37:56is offer them some support.
00:37:58Dad,
00:37:58don't say that.
00:37:59For all we know,
00:38:00he might actually be loaded.
00:38:02Right, Eli?
00:38:02Right,
00:38:03indeed.
00:38:03Forty grand on a gift
00:38:04is nothing to me.
00:38:05Still trying to fool us,
00:38:07huh?
00:38:07Come on,
00:38:08let's cut the chit-chat.
00:38:09Eli,
00:38:09go return the laptops.
00:38:10We don't want your family
00:38:11to come begging at our door later.
00:38:13Good 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.
00:38:20No, stop!
00:38:23Cousin Elijah gave them to me!
00:38:26Guys,
00:38:27don't return them.
00:38:28They're my gift to Gabe.
00:38:31Didn't I tell you?
00:38:32Forty grand is nothing to me.
00:38:38Elijah!
00:38:39Here,
00:38:40they're yours.
00:38:41This is to make up
00:38:42for all the years
00:38:43that Elijah didn't get you anything.
00:38:45Thanks, Aunt Sadie.
00:38:46Thanks, Cousin Elijah.
00:38:48Eli,
00:38:49you're almost 30 now.
00:38:51What are your plans
00:38:52for next year?
00:38:53Maybe George
00:38:54can help you find a job.
00:38:56I'm currently
00:38:56the head of purchasing
00:38:57at Eagle Solutions.
00:38:59Seeing as you were
00:39:00very generous to my son,
00:39:01I suppose I owe you one.
00:39:03Tony,
00:39:04are you guys hiring
00:39:04in the security department?
00:39:05I think Eli could make
00:39:07a great security guard.
00:39:08With a build like his?
00:39:10Not sure if he's cut out for it.
00:39:11Don't worry about me, guys.
00:39:13I just left my job
00:39:14at Great Tech,
00:39:15so Eagle Seclorites
00:39:16would 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
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,
00:39:28if you just apologize
00:39:28for your lies
00:39:29like 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
00:39:36and say you're sorry.
00:39:37You know how many people
00:39:38would kill for a job
00:39:40at Eagle Solutions?
00:39:41If you don't take it,
00:39:42someone else will.
00:39:48If someone else wants the job,
00:39:50let them have it.
00:39:51I have better things to do.
00:39:53Who do you think you are?
00:39:54You should be grateful.
00:39:56Fine.
00:39:57I was joking anyway.
00:39:58No need to be so serious.
00:40:00Just 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.
00:40:09When my dad got sick last year,
00:40:11did any of you pitch in
00:40:12for the surgery?
00:40:13Didn't think so.
00:40:15So don't suddenly pretend to care.
00:40:17Eli,
00:40:18to 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?
00:40:26Merry 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,
00:40:43see the things Derek brought?
00:40:45This is what a proper guest looks like.
00:40:47You should be taking notes.
00:40:49Uncle Frank,
00:40:50these are just generic
00:40:51store-bought gifts.
00:40:52My mom and I spent hours
00:40:54making those cookies.
00:40:56Oh, stop patting yourself
00:40:58on the back.
00:40:59Do you ever think about
00:41:00how your actions reflect
00:41:01on your family?
00:41:02Your moldy cookies
00:41:03make us all look cheap.
00:41:06Don't get so worked up, Emma.
00:41:08Elijah will never measure up
00:41:09to someone of my stature.
00:41:12Mr. Henderson's right.
00:41:13He's young,
00:41:15rich,
00:41:15and handsome.
00:41:17Eli simply can't compete.
00:41:19Emma,
00:41:20keep a tight leash on Derek.
00:41:21Must be a long line
00:41:22of ladies waiting
00:41:23for him to be single.
00:41:24Tony has a point.
00:41:26Emma,
00:41:27as far as I know,
00:41:28Derek already has
00:41:29two other girlfriends.
00:41:30You better hope
00:41:31he likes you
00:41:32more than he likes them.
00:41:35Eli,
00:41:36don't you ever shut up.
00:41:37No one believes you anyway.
00:41:39I believe what you want,
00:41:39but I've already seen him
00:41:40with my ex
00:41:40and my other cousin.
00:41:41Get lost.
00:41:42You're just trying
00:41:43to ruin our relationship.
00:41:44Emma,
00:41:45you know you're
00:41:45the only one I love.
00:41:47All the other girls
00:41:47are just groupies
00:41:48who want in on my success.
00:41:49I've never even given
00:41:50them a second look.
00:41:53I know.
00:41:54I believe you, babe.
00:41:56Well,
00:41:57don't say I 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,
00:42:01you can get the fuck out.
00:42:02What's all this fuss about?
00:42:04We should be enjoying ourselves.
00:42:05Grandpa,
00:42:06this is my boyfriend,
00:42:06Derek Henderson.
00:42:07His father is the vice president
00:42:09of 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
00:42:15a Merry Christmas
00:42:15and Happy New Year
00:42:16to you and your family.
00:42:18Dad,
00:42:18Derek is also
00:42:19an Ivy League grad.
00:42:20He's truly
00:42:21a talented young man.
00:42:22I agree.
00:42:23I mean,
00:42:24the guy has
00:42:24three different girlfriends.
00:42:26It does take some talent
00:42:27to pull that off.
00:42:28Eli,
00:42:29enough with the slander.
00:42:30You're being a real Grinch
00:42:31this Christmas,
00:42:32you know that?
00:42:33Uncle Frank,
00:42:34I wish I was lying,
00:42:35but it's true.
00:42:35Get out,
00:42:36Eli.
00:42:37You're not welcome
00:42:38in this house.
00:42:41You're the ones
00:42:42who invited us here
00:42:43in the first place.
00:42:43But if you want us to leave,
00:42:45we'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.
00:42:59You can settle
00:43:00your disputes later.
00:43:16This is a pinot noir
00:43:17that my father brought home
00:43:18from France.
00:43:20We've been saving it
00:43:21for a special occasion,
00:43:22so I brought it today.
00:43:24Here,
00:43:25to your health.
00:43:26Does anyone smell that?
00:43:28Where's that smell
00:43:29coming from?
00:43:30Grandpa,
00:43:31it's clearly that wine.
00:43:33Have a sip,
00:43:33Mr. Green.
00:43:34You'll love it.
00:43:39Where'd those come from?
00:43:40Oh,
00:43:41these 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.
00:43:58I know this taste.
00:43:59These aren't just
00:44:00any gingerbread cookies.
00:44:01They're made with a rare,
00:44:03highly refined molasses
00:44:04straight from the jungles
00:44:05of South America.
00:44:07Cookies like these
00:44:08aren't cheap to make.
00:44:09Highly refined molasses?
00:44:12Really?
00:44:12And you almost
00:44:13threw them out!
00:44:17Grandpa,
00:44:18you must be confused.
00:44:20Even if they did taste good,
00:44:21where would Eli
00:44:22get such rare ingredients?
00:44:24What,
00:44:24you think I'm wrong?
00:44:25You think the old man's
00:44:26got dementia?
00:44:27The taste is unistakable.
00:44:29How many batches
00:44:30did he bring?
00:44:30A whole bowl's full.
00:44:32There were dozens of them.
00:44:33I threw most of them
00:44:33out already, though.
00:44:35You threw the others out?
00:44:38Sure did.
00:44:39We've been eating
00:44:40Christmas cookies all week.
00:44:41Everyone'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
00:44:49for over a million dollars.
00:44:51Those cookies
00:44:51must have been worth
00:44:52at least a hundred grand!
00:44:54Yeah, I remember my dad
00:44:54saying something
00:44:55about that auction.
00:44:56A hundred grand
00:44:57all down the drain.
00:44:59Eli,
00:44:59I didn't know
00:45:00that molasses
00:45:01was 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
00:45:09in a family
00:45:09full of idiots?
00:45:11Those cookies
00:45:12were world-class,
00:45:13and you wasted
00:45:14all of them!
00:45:15Grandpa,
00:45:16don't make such a mess.
00:45:17I spent hours
00:45:18cleaning up
00:45:18before the party.
00:45:19These other ones
00:45:20were made
00:45:20with an extra rare
00:45:21variety of 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 imbo-sals,
00:45:28all of you!
00:45:30Oh, this great mist.
00:45:34Oh!
00:45:35Eli,
00:45:35if you used
00:45:36such rare ingredients
00:45:37in these cookies,
00:45:38you shouldn't have
00:45:38let us throw them out.
00:45:39Or were you just
00:45:40trying to make us
00:45:41look bad?
00:45:41I tried,
00:45:42but you all just said
00:45:43they looked stale
00:45:44and that I was trying
00:45:44to give Grandpa Jim
00:45:45diarrhea!
00:45:47And if I recall correctly,
00:45:49you said I was a stain
00:45:50on the family name.
00:45:52Eli,
00:45:53you're an unemployed loser,
00:45:54so how did you get
00:45:55your hands on
00:45:55such precious ingredients?
00:45:57Be honest,
00:45:57you stole them, right?
00:45:58I got them as a gift.
00:45:59Come on,
00:46:00we're not that stupid.
00:46:01Why would anybody
00:46:02waste such expensive gifts
00:46:03on a nobody like you?
00:46:04Yeah,
00:46:05you probably stole them
00:46:06along with that
00:46:06credit card of yours.
00:46:07It's disgusting
00:46:08thinking we have
00:46:08a petty thief
00:46:09in the Green family.
00:46:12That's right,
00:46:12he stole everything!
00:46:14George,
00:46:15throwing away my cookies
00:46:16is 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
00:46:21and a jar of molasses
00:46:22in Miss Cross's office
00:46:23at 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!
00:46:30Did you consider
00:46:31that maybe they were
00:46:32given to me by Mrs. Cross?
00:46:37As if you'd ever be
00:46:38worthy of a gift
00:46:39from Ava Cross.
00:46:40Fine,
00:46:40you don't have to believe me,
00:46:42but I know I'm in the right.
00:46:44George,
00:46:45what if it really was
00:46:46a gift from Miss Cross?
00:46:48What if Eli's telling
00:46:49the truth for once?
00:46:52Give me an update.
00:46:53All the pieces are in place.
00:46:54Let me check
00:46:55with 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?
00:47:04I expect to see
00:47:05some results soon!
00:47:06I had him right
00:47:07where I wanted him
00:47:08until Ava Cross showed up.
00:47:10Ava Cross?
00:47:11President of Eagle Solutions?
00:47:13Yeah, her!
00:47:15Ma'am,
00:47:15there's been a little hiccup.
00:47:16Eagle Solutions
00:47:17President Ava Cross
00:47:18has interfered with our plan.
00:47:20Is Ava Cross
00:47:21trying to make
00:47:22an enemy of me?
00:47:23Not just you,
00:47:23I'm afraid.
00:47:24All of Grey Tech.
00:47:25It seems she wants
00:47:26to violate our blacklist order
00:47:27and hire Mr. Green
00:47:28so 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.
00:47:34We can't have her meeting up
00:47:35with Mr. Greener again.
00:47:36Yes, ma'am.
00:47:39Keep an eye on Ava Cross
00:47:41and make sure
00:47:41she doesn't have
00:47:41any contact with Green.
00:47:47George,
00:47:48if Ms. Cross
00:47:48accuses Elijah
00:47:49of 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 Ms. Cross
00:47:56finds out what Elijah did,
00:47:57our whole family's done for.
00:47:59Tony,
00:47:59you're head of security
00:48:00at Eagle Solutions.
00:48:01You have to detain Elijah
00:48:02and hand him over
00:48:03for Mrs. Cross
00:48:03to deal with.
00:48:04That'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!
00:48:15What's illegal
00:48:15about arresting a thief?
00:48:17Guys, take him away!
00:48:21Don't touch him!
00:48:22Ms. Cross gave us that stuff!
00:48:24Derek was there!
00:48:25You're funny.
00:48:26If I was there,
00:48:27the only thing I would have seen
00:48:27is you stealing from her!
00:48:30Tony,
00:48:31Ms. Cross is a busy woman.
00:48:32She doesn't have time
00:48:33to handle trivial things like this.
00:48:34It's fine.
00:48:35I'll interrogate him on my own.
00:48:37And if he doesn't
00:48:38confess,
00:48:38I'll leave him there forever.
00:48:40Follow through on this
00:48:42and you'll have a promotion
00:48:43waiting for you.
00:48:44I hope you're right!
00:48:46Take Eli to the interrogation room!
00:48:48Tony,
00:48:48don't do this!
00:48:49Derek can't be trusted.
00:48:51This morning,
00:48:51he came to our house
00:48:53and tried to force Eli
00:48:54to murder one of his enemies!
00:48:56Please!
00:48:56Are you stupid?
00:48:58Derek doesn't have enemies.
00:48:59Everybody loves him.
00:49:01I'm telling the truth!
00:49:02You can call Mrs. Cross
00:49:04and ask her.
00:49:06Oh!
00:49:08Old hag,
00:49:10shut your mouth
00:49:10or I'll have you arrested too.
00:49:12Alright.
00:49:13If you don't believe her,
00:49:15I'll call Mrs. Cross myself.
00:49:23You should have known
00:49:23when to call it quit!
00:49:25Take this bastard away
00:49:26and make him regret
00:49:27ever fucking with me!
00:49:40What the?
00:49:45Is Elijah okay?
00:49:46I have to go check on him.
00:49:47I 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
00:50:03out of here.
00:50:05You're gonna pay for this, Tony!
00:50:06I'm just doing my job.
00:50:08You're the one
00:50:08who's gonna pay for your crimes.
00:50:13Derek,
00:50:13you sure about this?
00:50:15Now's not the time
00:50:16to get sentimental.
00:50:17We're upholding the law.
00:50:18But if Ms. Cross finds out...
00:50:21Relax.
00:50:21She won't.
00:50:22And even if she does,
00:50:23with me around,
00:50:23your family will be in good hands.
00:50:29Mr. Green?
00:50:32It's Ava Cross.
00:50:34I just wanted to stop by
00:50:35and wish you a Merry Christmas.
00:50:40Ms. Cross,
00:50:41Merry Christmas.
00:50:42Merry Christmas.
00:50:43Merry Christmas.
00:50:43Mr. Green,
00:50:44so good to see you.
00:50:46Ms. Cross,
00:50:47you're too kind.
00:50:48I should be the one
00:50:49going to visit you.
00:50:50Please,
00:50:51have a seat.
00:50:57Careful,
00:50:57it's hot.
00:51:01Merry Christmas.
00:51:03Mr. Henderson?
00:51:07Why are you here?
00:51:10Jim's granddaughter,
00:51:11Emma,
00:51:11and I are old college classmates.
00:51:13She invited me over today.
00:51:17You're a real social butterfly,
00:51:18aren't you,
00:51:18Mr. Henderson?
00:51:21Oh,
00:51:22not really.
00:51:22I keep a pretty small circle.
00:51:31Looks like you've got
00:51:31the whole family here today.
00:51:33What can I say?
00:51:34We're a tight-knit bunch.
00:51:36We take Christmas
00:51:37pretty seriously around here.
00:51:39I can tell by all those gifts.
00:51:41Yes,
00:51:42they brought them over
00:51:42this morning.
00:51:44Oh,
00:51:44and my nephew,
00:51:45Eli.
00:51:45Yeah,
00:51:46Eli.
00:51:48This is the fourth Christmas
00:51:50in a row
00:51:50he hasn't made at home.
00:51:53Hard to believe
00:51:53he's that busy with work.
00:51:55Emma,
00:51:56what are you saying?
00:51:56He was just here earlier,
00:51:58and he brought
00:51:59the most incredible gifts.
00:52:00So he just dropped off
00:52:01the gifts
00:52:02and 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.
00:52:10That'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,
00:52:18one made with
00:52:18an expensive variety
00:52:19of molasses
00:52:20and the other
00:52:21with an extremely rare
00:52:23Ceylon cinnamon.
00:52:25Just when Tony
00:52:26was about to wipe
00:52:26Elisha off the face
00:52:27of the earth,
00:52:28Mrs. Cross had to show up
00:52:30again and intervene.
00:52:31Now the cat's
00:52:32almost out of the bag.
00:52:34George,
00:52:34if we just tell
00:52:35Miss Cross the truth now,
00:52:36we can still save our skin.
00:52:39Miss Cross,
00:52:40to be honest,
00:52:41Elisha's cookies
00:52:42were made with ingredients
00:52:43that he stole
00:52:43from your office.
00:52:44But don't worry,
00:52:45head of security
00:52:46Tony Green
00:52:47has already taken him away
00:52:47for further questioning.
00:52:48What?
00:52:49You had Elijah taken away?
00:52:55George,
00:52:56what did you say?
00:52:57Did Eli steal
00:52:58those ingredients
00:52:59from Miss Cross?
00:52:59He sure did.
00:53:00Your nephew's a thief.
00:53:03One of our own
00:53:04stealing from Miss Cross?
00:53:05This could ruin
00:53:06our family's ties
00:53:07with Eagle Solutions.
00:53:08Yeah,
00:53:08this is bad.
00:53:09If Miss Cross
00:53:10extends the punishment
00:53:10to the whole family,
00:53:11we could lose everything.
00:53:14Derek,
00:53:15Eagle Tech's
00:53:15new lead programmer
00:53:16Elijah Green
00:53:16just arrived
00:53:17at the Eagle Solutions office.
00:53:18Miss Cross asked me
00:53:19to prepare a banquet for him.
00:53:20I need you to come help me.
00:53:26relax.
00:53:28I'll protect you guys.
00:53:33Eli,
00:53:35tell me the truth.
00:53:36When exactly
00:53:37did you enter
00:53:38Miss Cross's office
00:53:39and steal her things?
00:53:40And what else
00:53:41did you take
00:53:41besides those ingredients?
00:53:43You should really
00:53:44clarify this
00:53:45with Miss Cross first.
00:53:46I don't want you
00:53:47to lose your job
00:53:48when she finds out
00:53:48you tortured an innocent guy.
00:53:52Motherfucker!
00:53:53Am I going to have
00:53:54to beat you bloody
00:53:54before you fess up?
00:53:56You're the one
00:53:56who's going to have
00:53:57some confessing to do.
00:53:58If you let me go now,
00:53:59I still might be willing
00:54:00to put in a good word
00:54:00for you with Miss Cross.
00:54:02Don'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, bad news.
00:54:13No bad news
00:54:14on Christmas!
00:54:15Get out
00:54:16and don't come back
00:54:16until you've got
00:54:17something good to tell me.
00:54:19I'm serious.
00:54:19There's a problem.
00:54:21Are you deaf?
00:54:22Talk to me
00:54:23when you have
00:54:23your shit together!
00:54:26Miss Cross is here.
00:54:28Huh?
00:54:29Miss Cross?
00:54:30But it's Christmas.
00:54:31What is she doing here?
00:54:34Oh, Miss Cross!
00:54:35Didn't expect
00:54:36to 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 to
00:54:42rough you up!
00:54:42Tony,
00:54:43what's going on here?
00:54:44Miss Cross,
00:54:45this scumbag Elijah
00:54:46stole two extremely
00:54:47precious items
00:54:47from your office.
00:54:48I've just brought him here
00:54:49to get him to confess
00:54:49his crimes and make sure
00:54:50he didn't steal
00:54:51anything else of yours.
00:54:52And has he confessed
00:54:53to anything?
00:54:53This asshole's
00:54:54a tough cookie.
00:54:55Can't get him to talk.
00:54:56The 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,
00:55:01I'll make him regret
00:55:01what he did.
00:55:02No 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?
00:55:11No wonder you guys
00:55:11are no match
00:55:12for gray tech.
00:55:13You've got a gang
00:55:13of hooblins
00:55:14working for you.
00:55:18Piece 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!
00:55:27Stop!
00:55:31The real piece
00:55:32of shit here
00:55:33is you.
00:55:33Mrs. Cross,
00:55:34what did I do?
00:55:36Tony,
00:55:36what made you think
00:55:37you could lock up
00:55:38Elijah's family
00:55:39and lay hands on them?
00:55:40Ma'am,
00:55:41like I said,
00:55:41they stole some
00:55:42precious items of yours.
00:55:43You fool!
00:55:44Who says he stole anything?
00:55:45I gave those precious items
00:55:46to him as a gift.
00:55:47Now untie them
00:55:48and tell them you're sorry.
00:55:53Mr. and Mrs. Green,
00:55:54I'm terribly sorry.
00:55:55This must have been
00:55:56very distressing
00:55:57for you both.
00:55:57We're okay.
00:55:58Thank you,
00:55:59Miss Cross.
00:56:00Er, uh,
00:56:00Eli,
00:56:01I'm sorry,
00:56:01I shouldn't have blamed you.
00:56:02I hope you can
00:56:02let this slide.
00:56:03I told you I didn't
00:56:04steal them
00:56:05and you ignored me.
00:56:05Ava,
00:56:06I'll let you deal
00:56:06with this chump
00:56:07however you see fit.
00:56:08Tony,
00:56:09you've been extremely
00:56:10reckless
00:56:11and you disregarded
00:56:12protocol.
00:56:13You pretty much
00:56:13broke every rule
00:56:14in the book.
00:56:14For that,
00:56:15you're fired
00:56:15and I'll make sure
00:56:16no one else
00:56:17ever hires you.
00:56:21Eli,
00:56:22please,
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.
00:56:30Sadie,
00:56:30you're my last hope.
00:56:31Please,
00:56:32get them to change
00:56:32their minds.
00:56:33I need this job
00:56:34to take care
00:56:35of the wife and kids.
00:56:35We can't get by
00:56:36without it.
00:56:38Eli,
00:56:39Tony said some
00:56:39bad things to us
00:56:40but he means well.
00:56:41He was just blinded
00:56:42by that jerk Derek.
00:56:43Why don't you-
00:56:44Mom,
00:56:44stop defending him.
00:56:46So were we family
00:56:47when you tripped my mom,
00:56:49threatened to lock me up
00:56:50forever and tried
00:56:50to beat my head in?
00:56:52Tony needs to be
00:56:53held accountable
00:56:53for his actions.
00:57:01If I'd known
00:57:02Eli was so close
00:57:03with Mrs. Cross,
00:57:04I would have taken
00:57:04his side.
00:57:05Now look at me.
00:57:12Shit!
00:57:13Our firewall's under attack!
00:57:14I'm locked out!
00:57:15Me 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,
00:57:28and they're back
00:57:28with vengeance.
00:57:29They were able
00:57:29to breach the firewall
00:57:30within seconds.
00:57:31If we don't act now,
00:57:32it'll be too late.
00:57:33We'll tell everyone
00:57:33to get to work!
00:57:34They're always boasting
00:57:35about how smart they are,
00:57:37so now's the time
00:57:37to fucking show it!
00:57:38Miss Gray,
00:57:39the R&D department
00:57:40is doing its best,
00:57:41but these hackers
00:57:42are on another level.
00:57:42It's almost impossible to stop.
00:57:44Useless shits!
00:57:44I pay them to get the job done
00:57:46when it pissed their pants most!
00:57:47Ma'am,
00:57:48how about getting Elijah
00:57:48to come back and help us?
00:57:50Elijah?
00:57:51That 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
00:57:56in the world.
00:57:57He might be the only one
00:57:57who can rescue us.
00:57:59Seriously?
00:57:59Then he's probably the one
00:58:00hacking us right now!
00:58:01Well, we're not able
00:58:02to confirm that at the moment.
00:58:03Bring him to me now!
00:58:03Tell him if he doesn't help us,
00:58:04he's going to jail!
00:58:06Miss Gray,
00:58:06you just fired him yesterday.
00:58:07He probably won't be
00:58:08too thrilled by this request.
00:58:09He's the one
00:58:10who built our server, right?
00:58:11Then it's his problem to solve!
00:58:13Call him and tell him
00:58:14he's obligated
00:58:14to come fix this now!
00:58:16Ma'am,
00:58:16I suggest you contact your father
00:58:18and get his advice on this.
00:58:21Samantha,
00:58:22I heard the company server crashed.
00:58:23What the hell is going on?
00:58:27Dad,
00:58:27shit's hit the fan.
00:58:28We're getting attacked
00:58:29by hackers
00:58:30and our team
00:58:30can't do anything
00:58:31to stop it!
00:58:32What do you mean
00:58:33they can't stop it?
00:58:34Where's Elijah?
00:58:35If he's there,
00:58:35we've got nothing
00:58:36to worry about.
00:58:37I made a mistake.
00:58:38I feel like such an idiot.
00:58:40Yesterday,
00:58:40I had an argument
00:58:41with Elijah
00:58:42and I fired him.
00:58:43You fired him?
00:58:44God damn it, Samantha!
00:58:45Eli is the most talented
00:58:47programmer in the world!
00:58:48Everything great tech
00:58:49has accomplished
00:58:49is thanks to him!
00:58:50Dad,
00:58:50you've got to be exaggerating.
00:58:52One single employee
00:58:53can't make that big a difference.
00:58:54You moron!
00:58:55If he's not important,
00:58:57then tell me why
00:58:57those hackers
00:58:58are destroying us
00:58:59as we speak!
00:59:00Elijah built the server?
00:59:01How do you know
00:59:02he didn't make it
00:59:02vulnerable on purpose?
00:59:04Dad,
00:59:04just give me some time
00:59:05and I'll set things straight.
00:59:07Apologize to Elijah
00:59:08and get him back
00:59:08on board now!
00:59:09If you can't do that,
00:59:11you're no daughter of mine.
00:59:14Ma'am,
00:59:15what 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,
00:59:22we need to stay calm.
00:59:23How about you just ask him
00:59:23to come back
00:59:24and get the server working?
00:59:25You can save the apology
00:59:26for later.
00:59:36Elijah,
00:59:36I truly feel awful
00:59:38about what happened today.
00:59:39I'll put measures in place
00:59:39to ensure that it doesn't happen again.
00:59:46Hello,
00:59:46who is this?
00:59:47Mr. Green,
00:59:48the hackers are back
00:59:49and Gray Tech's server
00:59:49has just crashed.
00:59:51You're the one
00:59:51who knows the server
00:59:52in and out,
00:59:52so we need you
00:59:53to get it back up
00:59:53and running.
00:59:54Oh, hello, Ms. Gray.
00:59:56Sorry,
00:59:57but I'm no longer
00:59:57an employee of Gray Tech.
00:59:58Plus, I'm on vacation
01:00:00right now.
01:00:00This is your responsibility.
01:00:02You know,
01:00:03I've got reason
01:00:04to believe
01:00:04that you're the one
01:00:05behind this attack.
01:00:06If you don't help us,
01:00:07be prepared
01:00:07to face legal action.
01:00:09Just leave me alone, okay?
01:00:11With you in charge,
01:00:12Gray Tech will go bankrupt
01:00:13before long anyway.
01:00:15What was that about?
01:00:17Gray Tech's server
01:00:18crashed again
01:00:19and Ms. Gray
01:00:20accused me
01:00:21of hacking them.
01:00:22She 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?
01:00:28All right.
01:00:30Elijah,
01:00:31you little shit!
01:00:32You really think
01:00:33you're hot stuff, huh?
01:00:34May,
01:00:35get the car.
01:00:36We're bringing him back
01:00:37and I don't care
01:00:37if it means kidnapping you.
01:00:39Isn't Ms. Gray
01:00:39their new CEO?
01:00:41The one that fired you
01:00:42for no reason?
01:00:43So what are you gonna do?
01:00:46I'm gonna make her
01:00:47look like a fool.
01:00:48That's what.
01:00:48She decided to fire me
01:00:49and now she's living
01:00:50with the consequences.
01:00:53Elijah,
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.
01:00:59Thanks, Ava.
01:01:00Where are you guys
01:01:00going now?
01:01:01I'll walk you there.
01:01:02It's okay.
01:01:03I'm sure you've got
01:01:04things to do.
01:01:05I'm gonna take my parents
01:01:06home and rest
01:01:06before the banquet.
01:01:08See you tonight.
01:01:09All right.
01:01:10Get home safe then.
01:01:11See you tonight.
01:01:16There.
01:01:22Mr. Henderson,
01:01:23how are things going?
01:01:24Where's Elijah?
01:01:25Let's see.
01:01:26He must be receiving
01:01:27some special treatment
01:01:28at the Eagle Solutions office.
01:01:30Listen to me.
01:01:31Don't lay another finger on him.
01:01:32Something urgent came up
01:01:33and we need his help.
01:01:34What the hell?
01:01:37Why does Gray Tech
01:01:38need Elijah's help?
01:01:39Wait.
01:01:41Are they trying to rehire him?
01:01:43No, 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
01:01:52doesn't speak on our behalf,
01:01:53our family's reputation
01:01:54will 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.
01:02:10Those ingredients
01:02:11Elijah used in the cookies,
01:02:12they really were a gift
01:02:13from Mrs. Cross.
01:02:14She saw that I'd locked
01:02:15Elijah up and beaten him
01:02:16so she fired me on the spot.
01:02:18What?
01:02:19They were a gift
01:02:20from Mrs. Cross?
01:02:21How can that be?
01:02:24Tony, we know
01:02:24what kind of person Eli is.
01:02:25He must have blackmailed
01:02:26Mrs. Cross
01:02:27into giving him those gifts.
01:02:28I wonder.
01:02:28But either way,
01:02:29there's nothing we can do about 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
01:02:37from fighting with Eli.
01:02:38Otherwise, we might be
01:02:39in the same boat
01:02:39as Tony and Aubrey.
01:02:40You're right, honey.
01:02:41That was a good call.
01:02:42I ought to listen to you
01:02:43more often.
01:02:46Emma,
01:02:47you're on good terms
01:02:48with Derek.
01:02:50See if he can get his dad
01:02:51to put in a good word
01:02:52for us.
01:02:54Mrs. Cross
01:02:54can still change her mind.
01:02:59Emma, what happened?
01:03:01Derek,
01:03:02Mrs. Cross
01:03:03just fired Tony.
01:03:04What?
01:03:05Tony, what did you do?
01:03:06It turns out that
01:03:07Elijah's ingredients
01:03:07were really a gift
01:03:08from Mrs. Cross.
01:03:09I didn't know
01:03:10they were friends.
01:03:11Please, Mr. Henderson,
01:03:12ask Mrs. Cross
01:03:13to let me keep my job.
01:03:14All right,
01:03:14just let me handle this.
01:03:15I'll make sure
01:03:16your family is fine.
01:03:18Lucky for you guys,
01:03:19I have a vested interest

01:03:23go back to Gray Tech,
01:03:24Mrs. Cross
01:03:25is going to lose
01:03:25her position as president.
