Brewster's Millions: Christmas (2024) Movie Script

@@@@@
#####
Driving home,
lights are shining
Getting ready
for surprises
And the snow is falling
And it's one more sleep
As you can see, the original
unit investment property
has exceeded expectations.
And with this
marketing campaign,
the plan for the west
side location can be
just as profitable
while continuing to positively
impact the community.
Are there any other
questions on the Unit Springs?
Luxury, affordable
housing for all.
You don't think it's
a little polarizing?
Showing celebrities talk
about transitional housing.
It's not polarizing.
It aligns perfectly
with our core values
of social responsibility.
Exactly. They're the
face for a reason.
The face stays pretty. Clean.
And that makes
people wanna donate.
That's shallow.
The original unit
was fulfilling
our social responsibility
initiative.
exploiting that to garner
political and financial support
for this new property-
Is brilliant.
Great job, young lady.
Thank you. Thank you very much.
Are there any other questions?
- Cheers everybody.
- Cheers
To a productive day.
Very productive.
Oh, give me one moment.
...Kids are playing,
carol singers going by
People flying in,
mom and dad in town
Feel that love flow,
'tis a season is all around
Excuse me ladies and gentlemen,
but I must take off.
Thank you all again and
happy Thanksgiving break.
You too, bye.
It's my favorite
time of year
Hear those sleigh
bells ring, ohhh
Trees of the family
held so dear
Auntie?
What are you doing here?
Really? That's your response.
Not "it's good to
see you Auntie."
"I really missed you Auntie."
"Sorry I didn't return
your calls and emails,
Auntie."
Really? Who reads email?
Okay, I'm sorry.
Hello Auntie.
Hi, baby.
You look so cute.
You too.
Look at us, matching
with the sparkles.
So, um... did I
give you a key?
I don't remember
giving you a key.
No. I gave me a key.
and for a moment I thought
I was in the wrong house,
'cause this is-
Fabulous? Yes, I know.
Francois killed this.
- He added...
- Everything.
Yes.
To an already upscaled house?
Well, it needed
some pep, you know?
Some real Christmas cheer.
I hired Yo Ken Lee
for the design.
You know, this makes
no sense, right?
I mean, you're not even here
enough to enjoy all this.
And by the way,
you are now using the
car service full time.
Mm-Hmm?
Where is your car?
I still have them.
The- I'm sorry. "Them"?
Yeah, I bought another one.
Anyway, come with me Auntie.
You have to see my
newly renovated closets.
Come on, come on, come on.
Of course you do.
Come with me, please.
Look at this.
Skirt. Dress.
Come on Auntie,
Isn't it cute?
Morgan...
This has got to stop.
What?
All of this, I mean the
shoes, the designer handbags,
the clothes, all of it.
Everything. You are
just doing too much.
I don't understand you.
You used to tell me all
the time that the Bible says
if a man doesn't work,
he doesn't eat.
Well, this woman works.
I don't know if I call
what you do work,
Right? Because I'm not
in the family business.
Because you are not
doing good business!
Morgan...
You helping multimillion
dollar companies
defraud their shareholders
with fake philanthropy
just to fill a quota?
Nobody is defrauding. Okay?
They're spending money
to help people.
And I'm good at showing
others the light,
which I thought
you'd be proud of.
And I thought you'd
be less naive.
Auntie, I hate to cut
your visit short,
but I have a meeting with
my stylist this evening.
For what?
You just got in town.
What do you need
to be styled for?
She's helping me shop for
my trip around the world.
I'm leaving Christmas day.
It's a gift to myself.
Wait a minute.
Is this Ryan's idea?
Is this him trying to plan
some elaborate proposal?
See, that right
there is exactly why
I didn't invite him.
Because the ring
would've ruined everything.
You didn't know we
broke up, Auntie?
Are you serious?
Anything I do that's not
connected to Brewster Inc.
is not enough for you.
You treated me that
way ever since...
Ever since what?
You can't even say it.
It doesn't have anything
to do with Uncle Monty.
Oh, you keep telling
yourself that.
But let me tell you this,
this is your last chance.
Now. I want you here with
your family at Christmas
or else.
Enough of... all of this.
Okay, I get it. Sorry.
Morgan...
I miss my Monty too.
But I'm not pushing away
those that are still here.
Those that still love me.
I'll talk to you later.
Ride with me
Just ride...
Ride with me
Ride with me
Yeah, baby just ride
Ride with me
Nothing lasts
forever so let's
Hit this ride together,
just ride
Ride with me
Ride with me
Yeah, baby just ride
Oh goodness,
we have it
'Cause everything
feels better
Nothing lasts forever
I say to my mother,
everything is perfect
Long as I'm on this ride
Did you see that dude
looking at you
in the last store
we were in?
I was like, is he gonna ask
for your number or what?
It's a little crowded
in here, don't y'all think?
Oh, that jacket
is so last season.
Hey girl, I love your jacket!
You look good! Hi!
Miss Brewster, from my
favorite regular, welcome back.
Is my table ready?
Perfect. Thank you.
Hi.
Right, exactly. But it
was good though, right?
Yeah, it's always good here.
I missed it here so much.
But I wanted to try something
different this time.
I'm sorry, it won't
go through, ma'am.
What won't go through?
Your card.
It's not working.
That's funny.
It's also impossible.
So try again.
I've tried it
four times, ma'am.
Don't ma'am me!
You know what? It's fine.
Uh, the strip is
probably a little worn.
'Tis the season for
spending, right?
Try this one.
Can y'all believe him?
He's getting fired.
Anywho. The next one.
It's not working.
Just gimme one moment.
Just um...
Just try this one.
It has to be their system.
Like, I leave for
a little while,
come back to this? Really?
It won't go through, ma'am.
I'm so sorry.
Just gimme one second.
Um, it has to be something...
strange going on with the-
where are you going?
Where are you going?
Oh, you're leaving.
Click clacking away in
those shoes I bought you.
Oh, you too?
The tag is still
on your dress, sweetie.
You've always been my favorite,
you know that.
Just gimme one second, boo.
I'm sorry.
Um, where you going?
Wow. I see how it is.
That's why your handbag
is a knockoff!
Look, I don't need
this from you.
After all the money
I've spent in this place,
this is my table.
Literally, it has
my name on it.
So why don't you just
go get your manager.
Actually, get the owner
and let me talk to them.
Thank you.
Go!
Are you recording?
You recording me?
Oh my God.
Thank you.
You're wrinkling my coat.
I know how to walk!
Oh, hey Liza!
Hey! Don't worry about this.
This ain't nothing.
Merry Christmas!
You what?
You heard me. I froze
all of your accounts.
Sit down.
Okay.
Are you doing this because
you think I didn't
bring you anything
back from Chicago?
Because I did.
Can you say Cartier?
Auntie, how can you do this?
With all due respect,
it's not your money.
Oh baby.
You think that little
stipend you're getting
from the marketing
that you're doing
is enough to cover
your lavish lifestyle?
No, sweetie.
Your Uncle Monte and I
opened those accounts for
you when you were a child.
And when I tell the
bank to close them,
they get closed.
Listen, what do you
want me to do?
This.
What is this?
That is a part of your
Uncle Monty's will
that we prepared
before his passing.
We were waiting for the right
time to give it to you.
This doesn't look like
clauses in a will.
This is...
this is more like a list.
That's right.
It's a list of tasks
you have to fulfill
in order to secure
your inheritance.
This is a joke, right?
Now, you know your
Uncle Monty believed
in big challenges to
test the character.
And... when he saw
how you were changing
after your parents passed,
he wanted to give you the
opportunity to see how strong
you really are
aside from our wealth.
I understand that a
challenge like this
is how he got his fortune.
But why are you torturing
me with all this... work?
Morgan...
Now that my Monte has passed,
I gotta figure out
my next chapter.
What I'd like to do is
retire at the top of the year
and see what else
God has for me.
But, of course, I can't do
that until you are ready.
Wait, I'm sorry. What are
we talking about here?
You want me to
take over all this?
So I can be buried in
paperwork, earning reports
and board meetings? No.
Doing what I do allows
me to stay in control.
Hmm. Yeah.
In control and empty.
Oh, Morgan.
Baby, you were never
in this alone.
You lost your parents,
and I lost my baby brother
and sister-in-law,
all in a day.
We understood your pain.
That's why we gave you space.
And this year started
with us losing Monty.
That was a hit
I never expected.
So when you decided
to quit law school
so you could go find yourself,
I was really worried
about you, but...
I just never thought you
would turn out like this.
Auntie.
Look, either you
complete these tasks
by Christmas Day and
regain your wealth, or...
refuse and forego
the Brewster's dynasty,
leaving you without
a dime to your name.
Now, I'll still retire,
but everything will be moved
into a trust managed
by the new CEO.
You?
You will have to start
from scratch all on your own.
And I will always be here
for love and support,
but our money...
will not.
So I have to do these four
things to keep my money.
That's right.
Number one: Provide clean
and safe long-term shelter
for someone in need.
Since you've been
living a lifestyle of
comfort and warmth.
Number two: Give a
child a unique gift
that's worth
more than money.
Since you've been spending
money recklessly like a child.
Number three: Restore
your faith in the-
in the true meaning
of Christmas.
Yes. Because it truly
seems like you have lost
all sense of what this
holiday season is all about.
Okay.
Number four: Open your
heart up to the possibility
of true love again.
Okay, that's not fair.
You can't force me
to fall in love.
I'm not... just don't want
you to give up on it.
All this is a little
ridiculous, don't you think?
How can you even
measure these things?
And how am I supposed
to get started?
Well, I guess
I could call around-
Nope.
No calling around.
No. Using your resources
or contacts, nor ours.
Nobody can know anything
about what you're doing
or it's over.
How do you expect
me to do this
without using
the Brewster name?
That's who I am.
Oh baby, that is not true.
You are so much
more than that.
And that's the point.
Taylor? Would you let
them know I'm ready.
Can I at least have
a reality show
follow me around
or something?
That way I can at
least get paid.
No. It's a good idea... but no.
Hi sweetie.
Morgan, you remember Tiffany,
the company COO?
Yes, of course.
Nice to see you again, Morgan.
It's been a while.
And this is Andrew, my second
in command around here.
Nice to meet you.
Hi.
Hand him your phone, please.
Am I gonna get it back?
Of course.
Oh wait.
Oh, this is great.
So you two are gonna
be working for me.
Negative.
Meet your... support system.
Well, more so Andrew,
since I'll be assisting you
with the fundraisers,
the food drive,
and all of our other Christmas
endeavors, Mrs. Brewster.
Absolutely right.
But Andrew here will
be kind of like your...
guardian angel
through this process.
I mean, he can't do anything,
but he can make sure
you're on the right track and
report your progress to us.
A guardian angel,
but he can't do anything.
Then what's the point?
I'll help keep you
within the boundaries
of your dos and don'ts.
Don'ts?
No using your name
for assistance.
No borrowing money.
No taking money from
friends and family.
No gifts or donations
from family or friends.
And you have 30 days
to get this all done
Starting now.
I'm also downloading the
app to all of your devices
with your tasks and
calendars on there.
It'll, uh, keep you updated.
We also have these same
apps on our devices as well.
So if you guys need me,
I'm around 24/7.
Most importantly,
Morgan, you have until
midnight Christmas Eve
to complete your task.
Look, I have a trip
planned on Christmas Day.
I can't focus on that
and do all of this.
I can't and I won't!
Period.
How did I not know she
controlled all of my accounts?
You know what,
if I've been reckless,
she's to blame.
They absolutely spoiled me.
And now she wants me
to be Miss Independent.
That's only sexy
in the movies.
Maybe this is her way
of rectifying things.
They were right.
You really are no help.
Forgot to give you this.
Oh!
Okay. I was wrong.
You're not a jerk.
Wow. A jerk.
You just met me.
Stay focused.
How much is on the secret
credit card of redemption?
It's not a credit card.
More of a money card for
food and basic essentials.
Mrs. Brewster's already
authorized a limit of $2,500.
Are you joking?
I bought meals for more than
this money card is worth.
I can't, I- I need
to call a car.
And I need a
drink right now.
Let me help you with that.
Hello? Car from Morgan.
Be there in about two seconds.
Are you joking?
The only thing I
can do for you
is give you transportation
from point A to point B
to ensure your safety.
Mrs. Brewster
don't want anybody
recognizing you out there
and trying to rob you,
- thinking that...
- Thinking I have money?
Ah, that's funny.
You know what? Whatever.
Just take me to
my condo, Uber boy.
Uber boy.
Nah, that name's
not going to work.
By the way,
there's one more thing
I forgot to tell you.
Cannot believe she
locked me outta my condo.
How am I supposed to help
other people if I'm homeless?
Maybe she has faith that
you'll figure it out.
That's what all this
is about, right?
I could sleep on the jet.
I'm a genius.
That would be so perfect.
And I think I still have that
mink throw I left in the-
I'm sorry, but you're
locked outta there as well.
Ugh.
Think of something.
Come on.
There has to be
somewhere you know of.
For the homeless?
How would I know of
a place for them?
Hold on. I actually
might know a spot.
Yeah. This is it right here.
The Unit Springs.
The Unit Springs?
It's a transitional
housing unit.
The investment firm I work
for owns two locations
and this is one of them.
I just did a presentation
on this place like
a few days ago.
Look at God.
You know, you can't
use your contacts,
that was one of the rules.
I'm not.
I never dealt with
this place directly.
I've never even been there,
but I made 'em look
really good on paper
and from the pictures
the company showed me,
it's a beautiful place
for people in need of transitional housing.
Look.
Come on.
That's where we're going.
Ugh.
Mm-Hmm.
My-
This doesn't make any sense.
The company had
thousands donated
for the development
of this place.
It's supposed to
be luxury housing.
You never cared where
the money went. Huh?
Don't do that.
You sound just like my aunt.
With all these vacancies
no wonder it was so easy
to get you in here.
This place must be desperate
for residents to meet
their year-end quota.
Yeah, it doesn't matter.
I'm not staying here.
Morgan, you've called
around already.
It's freezing outside and
it's the holiday season.
I think this is
your best option.
This can't be my home for-
Thirty days.
Thirty days?
No, no.
I can't live like this.
This entire apartment
could fit in my bedroom.
Then don't.
Thank you for your input.
I wonder if the Four Seasons
has an available room.
That's not what I meant.
Try cleaning the
place up a bit.
Dress it up a little.
That could help.
I'm sorry. Let's rewind.
Clean- who cleans up what?
I'm gonna get going.
Everything will be fine.
Try to get some rest.
Try to get some rest in here?
Andr-
Was it really that bad?
I'm sorry, I didn't
mean to pop in.
I just wanted to let you
know your door is open.
Great.
So I'm leaving myself open
to get attacked and robbed.
What they taking
from up in here?
I'm Opal.
Morgan.
You mind if I...?
Please come in.
I'm your neighbor.
Oh, nice.
I didn't know if
anyone lived here.
'Cause we so quiet?
It's like that around here.
Sorry, I'm just
still adjusting.
Would you like a cup of tea?
Yeah.
Come on.
Here we are.
Wow.
This is amazing, Opal.
Oh, thank you.
Uh, may I?
Please.
How do you have time
to knit these?
I love it.
It's like therapy.
We used to have a
knitting club here
and a craft show
every Christmas.
Used to?
Yes. This place
used to be popping
until some management
company moved in.
Some investment company,
Martin and Row.
They really let
this place go down.
We heard new money came in
and went right past us.
So a lot of folks moved out.
Those of us who
stayed can't afford to.
Or can't find another place.
That's crazy, right?
Yeah.
It is.
And you sew.
Yeah, when I was a kid
I wanted to be a designer.
Now I just play
around with design.
I make some things
here and there
for me and a couple of
sisters down at the church
when I can afford the fabric.
It makes me feel productive.
Shoot girl. It really
helps me to relax.
You're really good.
Well, thank you.
Like really good.
Well, maybe if you act right,
I'll let you try on a few.
- Act right?
- That's right. Act right.
You act right here.
So tell me, what do you
do for fun and leisure?
Uh, other than my weekly
massages and seaweed wraps,
I like to take-
Girl, you funny!
"Weekly massages"
Right?
Don't we wish?
We do. We wish.
Who's that beauty?
That's Mariah.
My daughter.
She's 13.
Oh, I'm sorry.
I'm being so loud.
Is she sleeping?
No, she doesn't
stay here with me.
I am gonna get another tea.
Okay.
I uh, lost my job a while back.
I was unemployed, broke.
My ex left me and...
I went into a really,
really dark spiral.
I had been depressed before,
but this was different.
You know, and
I didn't want-
I didn't want Mariah
to see me like that.
I got help once I moved here
and the counselor said
I should leave Mariah
with my sister for a while.
Well, that must
have been hard.
It was, but I did what was
best for her, period.
You know, and once I'm stable,
I have a job, a place to stay,
She'll clear me
to get her back.
I told myself at
the top of the year
that this would be
the last Christmas...
I would spend without her.
It looks like I'm
letting her down again.
Hey, it's not Christmas yet.
There's still time.
Thirty days to be exact.
I don't know what kind of magic
you are gonna make happen.
But I like your faith.
Hmm.
So you tell me.
What brings you to a place
that everybody else
is trying to escape?
Oh, uh...
I actually found placing at
a different housing building,
but um, they won't be
able to move me in
for about month.
Well you think maybe I-
Oh, no, I'm sorry.
The owner is a wealthy lady,
very shrewd.
So there's only one spot.
I get it.
I get it.
Well, I can see
why you're down.
Your place.
Well, there's not much
I can do about that.
I don't really have
a lot to work with.
Because you don't know
how to make it work.
What's "it"?
What you got in
your pocket, girl!
Trust me, it's not much.
Well look how I've
made my place a home.
And by the looks
of your clothes,
you obviously have style.
You'd be surprised how
far a little can get you.
Better hurry,
there's no time to lose
'Cause I got so many
Christmas kisses for you
I'm putting on my
Christmas stockings
Little perfume and
I fixed my hair...
The bell are ringing, oh, so
pretty cause it's Christmas
In the city, and baby I'll
see you there
Christmas in the city
Songs in the air
Christmas in the city
And music everywhere
Christmas in the city
You gotta catch your spirit
Oh baby, can't you hear it?
All I did was bring her
to her new place
and today she's out with this
new church, volunteering,
building a community
all by herself.
Wow.
I was shocked too.
I mean, she seems to be
adapting pretty well.
Okay. So she's...
making a lot of
headway in a few days.
And we have three weeks left.
This is gonna be harder
than I thought.
What's going to be hard?
Getting her outta the way.
But I'm supposed
to be helping her.
No, you're supposed
to guide her.
But the question is,
how would you guide her?
Okay. I need you to make sure
you stay two steps ahead of her
so you can push
her 10 steps back. Okay?
Keep in touch with me and we're
gonna send this girl packing.
Tiffany...
I don't know.
I mean what if when she takes-
Exactly, did you hear
what you just said?
"When she takes over."
And do you know what a brat
like that is gonna do
when she gets her hands
on this company?
She's gonna sell it
for its parts.
And me, you and everybody
else is gonna be jobless
at the top of the year.
Now, I don't wanna start
my year off like that Andrew.
Do you?
No.
So we have to do what
we have to do, right?
To ensure we all have a future
and to make sure we all
have a Merry Christmas.
Right.
Excuse me.
I'm sorry, but you can't go
up to random homeless people.
Couldn't connect with
anybody at that shelter.
And it was mainly because
you kept blocking me.
I was protecting you.
They were calling security.
Unwarranted.
Did you forget the part
when you threatened
to dump their soup if
they didn't let you help?
Away in
a manger...
Big,- Big Ty! Big Ty!
Big Ty! Right.
Away in
a manger...
Hey, did you see who that was?
I wasn't paying attention. Who?
Big Ty, the singer.
- Really?
- Yeah.
Wow. I was just listening
to him this morning.
Always thought he
lived down south.
Not man, he lives up in here.
Oh. So I see why you
set up camp down here
the way he probably
hooks you up every day.
Ma'am, please.
He act like I
don't even exist.
But that's okay though.
One day he'll have
to stop, gimme my props,
and help me get
a record deal.
I got you. I see
what's going on.
This is definitely you
not trying to hustle money
for your basketball team.
Why are you air quoting?
Nah man. This ain't me
running a game.
I'm out here trying
to make something happen
so I can help my family.
Oh, are they poor?
Um, I'm sorry.
What's going on
with your family?
Morgan, that's personal.
My dad lost his job
a few weeks ago.
He's been working odd
jobs here and there
trying to keep things afloat.
He doesn't know I know this,
but if he keeps working
late nights like this,
we'll never be able to see him.
And it's hard taking care
of my baby sister on my own.
That's a lot
to carry, little man.
Nah, it ain't nothin'
when it's for your family.
I saw on social media
somebody caught a pic of
Ty leaving this building.
So here I am.
Speaking of, I gotta
get back to it.
Away in a manger
No crib for a bed
The little lord Jesus
Lay down his sweet head...
Hey... he's the one.
The stars in the sky...
No way.
Look down...
That's probably not even a kid.
You don't watch
those documentaries?
- The old young looking-
- Andrew.
He could be scamming us.
He's not scamming us
with a voice like that.
And so I feel
for him, you know?
I had nowhere near the
load he's carrying.
A distant stranger...
So what do you want to do?
Close by me forever
And love me, I pray
- In a manger
- In a manger
- A distant stranger
- A distant stranger
Became a friend
Became a friend
Away in a manger
A distant stranger
A distant stranger
Became a friend
Became a friend
La, la, la
La, la
La, la, la
La, la
La, la, la
La, la
No, really.
The songs you two did
today, pretty cool.
I was genuinely impressed.
I didn't know you
could sing like that.
Oh, I guess you haven't been
at the company long enough
to hear me sing at our
holiday parties. Huh?
It's been a while.
Such a shame you haven't
been there as of late.
Will you be gracing us with
your presents this year, madam?
Uh, no sir.
I'm wrapping this up by
Christmas Eve as promised
and going on my trip around
the world Christmas Day.
Oh- no you didn't!
Don't hurt nobody, now.
Where are you going?
I'm going to the
church singles mixer.
- Oh.
- Mm-Hmm.
You know what?
Are you two... you know?
A thing? Like, a thing?
No.
No, girl. That's funny.
Business associates.
Yeah, he's just helping
me get back on my feet.
You'll see him around.
Well, you know,
support is support,
but not all support is
as fine as him, okay?
Chill. Look, thank
you for the invite.
But I don't wanna see a bunch
of uncles with slick hair.
Cha cha sliding to "Amazing
Grace" in their wingtips.
Are you kidding me?
You've been to that church,
you've seen those guys.
Those are good guys.
And it's Friday night.
You should come. Come on.
I'll fix your hair.
I'll give you a nice outfit.
One of my originals, girl.
I'll make you like a-
I'm telling you right now,
we are going to do this.
We are.
Two fingers to the weekend
Hands up for the healing
I've never been so innocent
You know I got that
sunshine feeling
Too high to come down
I can't see the ground,
I'm hearing that sound, yeah
Wow.
Where is Opal?
I knew that dress would
look cute on you.
Girl, you are rocking
an Opal original.
- Opal, Opal.
- What?
I feel a little overdressed.
No, no girl.
You look fine.
You could go couture.
You know that?
- Oh please.
- You are that good.
Go ahead.
You two have fun tonight
and make me look good, okay?
Alright.
Okay.
So this is unexpected.
Very unexpected.
Thank you.
So this worked out, huh?
What?
Me being able to
have my pick.
Open my heart to love. Remember?
You really think you'll
find somebody here?
I don't know, but I don't
have a single task checked off,
so I need to try.
Who knows?
Someone might find me.
Hey, do- y'all
going just keep-
you been dancing with
her the whole night
and she owe me a
dance, sir. I'm sorry.
Come on. You gonna
gimme a chance?
Come on now.
True.
I got you.
Well thank you for that.
Of course.
You're willing to be more
hands-on than anticipated, huh?
It's part of the job.
We're business
associates, right?
What was that?
What?
That angst in your voice
when you said that?
No, no, don't do that.
It's a fact.
This is business.
We are associates.
Yet you swooped
in like a knight
when the damsel
was in distress.
That might make you
more like a friend.
I know.
Well, Opal was right.
There's a lot here.
I guess I just didn't notice.
Life, right?
You wake up one day,
and you see all
this potential
that's been in front
of you the whole time.
Uh, we could...
probably stop dancing now.
I don't mind.
Yeah, me either.
Do you mind if I cut in?
She's yours.
How's your night, girl?
Good. How's yours?
I don't know.
Thank you.
Hey, good job.
Yo, Big Ty.
Please. Please.
No autographs, all right?
I have a reservation
for Ms. Block.
Thank you.
Come on. That crowd has
tripled since last week.
Manny will have enough
money in no time.
Check and check.
Two checks.
Yeah. Luke invited me on
a date the other night.
Luke?
The guy from the
church mixer, remember?
That open heart gesture
looking really good.
You gonna tell
my aunt, right?
Yeah, of course.
But a date?
When and where?
Tonight.
He wants to have a
picnic in the park.
Isn't that sweet?
Yeah. Sweet.
Was that from Opal's?
Opal!
You okay?
Yes. I'm sorry to
startle you all.
I just broke my favorite mug.
Wait a minute,
are you moving?
Surprise.
I knew it was gonna happen
sooner rather than later,
but I didn't think it was
gonna happen this soon.
Why?
Issues with my unemployment,
and my short-term
housing lease is up.
Okay, well don't
worry about it.
I'll call the company and
make some noise, all right?
No, no need. I've tried.
And honestly I can't
be mad at them
because they've shown me a
lot of grace and I am grateful.
Even though they are
slumlords sometimes.
So where would you go?
I haven't even figured
that out yet.
I haven't until
the end of the week,
so I'm gonna find a way,
and that's why I got
started on this.
I was hoping it would
make it easier.
No. Opal, we gotta
do something.
They can't just
throw you outta your home.
You don't need to do anything.
I'm going to get
back on my feet.
I have been knocked
down before.
But what about you
getting your daughter?
It's okay. Come here.
I am not saying that
you can't help her,
it's just you only
have eight days left.
You should be
maximizing your time.
Trust me, I can do this and
still take care of business.
Besides, isn't that
the point of all this?
I'm supposed to be
helping people
and thinking outside
of myself, right?
Yeah, but she has
real life issues.
Morgan, I know it's hard,
but I think it's best
if you just let things be.
She's my friend.
I have to do something.
I'm still calling
the owners,
letting them
know this won't fly.
Wow.
You look like a Christmas angel.
Thank you.
That's so sweet.
Once again, it's
the Opal effect
And all this for
a "task" date.
Absolutely. And then some.
And then some?
What... what you
mean by that?
I guess I'm open
to a good time too.
Oh.
Oh, right.
Um,
You know, um, Morgan,
I've been thinking a lot lately,
like maybe if you just focus
on these other challenges
and nail those,
this one won't
really matter. Right?
It didn't sound like
that with my Auntie.
No. Like if you
really think about-
I'm looking forward to it.
Really?
Mm. Maybe I'm
rebounding from my ex.
Or maybe I just missed this.
Getting all dressed up
to go out with a man
who really sees me
and looks at me like...
Kind of like that.
I guess the dress works.
Lemme grab my jacket.
I was wondering when I
was gonna hear from you.
Have you shut down
her little sidewalk
side show with the kids?
It's picking up
traction on social.
And we have eight days left.
Yeah. Yeah.
I'm all over that. Okay?
But we have
bigger problems.
We need to be more
concerned about the task
of her opening up
her heart to love.
She had a date tonight.
Please. That is
not gonna happen.
She's too selfish to open
her heart up to anybody.
Now, Andrew, just
take the night off
and let her screw up this
love challenge on her own.
- Okay?
- Yeah.
You are right.
Mm-Hmm.
Here we go now,
here we go
Go Manny! Go Manny!
I don't know nothing,
I'm making a statement
Go Manny, Go Manny!
Go Manny!
Go Manny, go Manny!
Hey man, I gotta tell you.
I'm just saying as a tenant,
I don't know about all this.
Hey man, you see this?
This is disruptive, man.
And this corner is getting
more popular every day.
It's becoming a trend.
Singers from all across the
world gonna be flying in,
performing in front
of our building, man.
- Right.
- Right.
Look at all these cameras. Look.
Go Manny, go Manny!
Where's the privacy?
This gotta be a violation.
I'm trying to remember if they
gotta have some HOA bylaws
about soliciting
on the property.
You know what?
You are absolutely right.
Let me fix it.
Somebody needs to do
something, right?
I'm sorry.
Come on!
Look. Enough is enough.
All right?
Yeah, I agree.
That was not a good
look, Mr. Grinch.
You really trying to be
canceled for the holidays?
Turn around.
Look at all those phones.
Say cheese.
Look.
I know something you could
do that would help out
my little friend
and your reputation.
Alright, fine.
What do you want me to do?
I can't believe you are here.
I've been your biggest
fan for like forever.
Um, you mind if I
could take a picture?
No, no cameras, no videos.
I'm just here for a quick
hi and I'm out, alright?
Yeah.
You wore all that
for no cameras?
Listen, I have an image to
uphold no matter where I am,
but uh, obviously you don't
know nothing about that.
If you only knew.
No sweetheart.
If only you knew.
Hold on. You wrote that?
- Yeah.
- Yeah.
Because it reminds me of...
"Love Come Home"?
From your first album?
That was my mom's
favorite song.
So I took this chord
and did this with it.
Okay. It's pretty impressive.
But did you think
about this though?
Oh no. You gotta
get in there too.
Okay.
Oh, right there.
Right there. Okay.
Alright, alright...
Big Ty?
So this is what we doing now?
We missing school to hang
out with celebrities?
Dad, that's not
what I was doing.
Uh, Mr. Myers?
Jacob.
Jacob.
I'm sorry for coming into
your home unannounced,
but you have an incredible son.
I don't need you to tell me.
I know he incredible.
That piano is the most valuable
thing we have in this home,
given to me by my father.
And I can't think to sell it.
But when I saw my boy teach
himself how to play that piano,
I knew then that
he was special.
That he had a gift.
I don't want my boy out
there with people like you
trying to help this family-
because I can't provide.
You know, sir, my dad left me
and my mom with next to nothing
in a one bedroom
with four kids
right around the
corner from here.
And I promised myself I
would never come back here.
I even tried to convince
myself that I was better off
without a father.
But after seeing Manny's
hustle and your heart,
man, I can't even help but
wonder what kind of man
I would've turned out to be
if I would've had
a dad like you.
You're doing more
than what you think.
And your son right here,
he's being selfless
because you are.
You should be proud of that.
Not ashamed.
A man that runs away,
He should be ashamed.
But a man that never
gives up... can never.
I thought if he heard my music,
maybe I could get a record deal.
Earn something.
So I can help with a
bill or two around here.
We barely see you,
and I don't want you working
so hard that we lose you too.
Wait. Wait baby boy, look.
Hey, Manny.
Manny, I'm sorry.
Okay? look at me.
I'm right here and I
ain't going nowhere.
You hear me?
I'm so proud of what you
doing for this family.
'cause I always taught you
to take care of family.
Now look at you.
You are doing just that.
You know what?
Uh, that's why I want you guys
to spend Christmas with me.
Yeah. At my spot.
Christmas? In your condo?
Wait, I can't ask
you to do that.
You're not.
I'm offering.
My mom, she always
cooks too much anyway.
And I always wondered what
Christmas would be like
with a cool dad.
Cute little sis.
Annoying, big-headed
little brother.
I'm gonna take that
as a compliment.
You should.
But uh...
it would really
be my honor, sir.
You're a good man, Ty.
Your dad would be proud.
But he missed out.
Thank you.
Don't get me to cry now.
I'm too old for tears.
Bring it in man.
Get over here.
And here I thought your special
gift for a kid was for Manny.
All along it was for a big kid
who just needed a little love.
Wow. You got a good son here.
Yeah. That's my boy.
It's astonishing how
someone's past
could be a blessing to
somebody's future, right?
- What?
- What?
Yes.
You want me to sue
my former employer
and you wanna represent me?
I know it's brilliant, right?
But you're not a lawyer.
But she did go to law school
for a few years, right?
Yes. Thank you Andrew.
And I've been doing
research the past two days.
I don't know about this.
Didn't you say your old
boss wrongfully let you go?
You thought you were
being penalized
for being a mom, right?
Do you know he fired me
for going on a vacation
with my daughter, with
vacation time I earned?
This won't even need
to go to court.
We just have to shake him up.
He attacked your work ethic
because he thought you were
helpless and on your own.
But now he's got
another thing coming.
What do you think?
I think...
I think I believe in her.
Boom!
Okay. Okay.
I'm gonna get my
old employee file
and I bet there's something
in there we can use.
Mm-Hmm. You do that.
Give me all the smoke.
I want all of it.
You know, you're three days
out from your deadline.
You know how long the
legal process could take?
All I need is a day.
- Opal?
- Mm-Hmm?
Are you ready?
No. But I miss my daughter
so I'm down for whatever.
Opal? What are you doing here?
What's this all about?
Mr. Reynolds, this is
my attorney and we are-
We're here to discuss
her unlawful dismissal.
Shall we invite your attorney
to join the conversation?
I don't think
that's a good idea.
Shh.
Not necessary.
I can handle this.
Her work, or lack thereof,
warranted her appropriate
and very lawful termination.
- Poor work performance?
- Yes.
That's what led
to her termination?
Yes.
Hmm. So I'm assuming
she has at least
three write-ups in her file.
Excuse me?
According to your
corporate handbook,
which I've noticed
is not available
to any of the employees
unless requested,
it states clearly
that all employees must have
at least three write-ups
and a joint meeting with
shift leader and manager before termination.
Each branch reserves
the right to do it-
Negative. All branches
must abide by these rules.
We had some theft a while ago
and some of the files were
missing. Her write-ups-
I've never had any write-ups!
Of course you did.
You just don't remember it.
Mr. Reynolds, I--
Opal, it's okay.
Mr. Reynolds, the more you
speak, the clearer it becomes
that you're a mess
and you're messy.
I'm certain there are several
other conduct violations
I could pin on you,
per your own company's policy.
Opal surely is not the
only person you've wronged.
And I wonder what other
malfeasances I would find
after a full investigation
into your managerial history.
Are you sure there aren't
any other disgruntled employees
floating around here that
wouldn't be interested
in a class action lawsuit?
And even if that fails,
the bad publicity surrounding
you and your company would be
enough for your own dismissal.
If you didn't have a complaint
in your file already,
you're getting one today, sir.
Merry Christmas.
Wow! Wow! Wow!
Thank You.
I can't believe
that really worked.
With this check, I can
stay in my place!
This is unbelievable!
Thank you.
Don't thank me.
You really are
a Christmas angel.
You know, angels
are hard to come by.
Don't let her go.
Well I'm just happy
I could help.
Come here, you guys.
Come here.
This is unbelievable!
I wanna dance. Come on.
I gotta dance.
Oh, you meet now?
Yes. Party tonight. My spot.
You know, I know a great
little Christmas store
that'll give us donations.
Yes. Come on.
We need to celebrate
me staying in my place,
getting that money
to get back on my feet
and get my daughter back.
Know what the plan is...
Don't get caught,
Get caught sleeping
Living life like every
day is the weekend
Vacation life,
the game's even
It's all love long as
you're still breathing
Jump in the deep end baby,
it's all right
I just wanna see you let go
Feels good,
good to be alive
It just feels good,
good to be alive
Everybody say whoa
It's quiet time after 10 PM.
We always make our way into
somebody's dance floor.
Must be a Christmas miracle.
Checking off these tasks
does feel really good.
So how do I know
I don't already have
the Christmas spirit?
Yeah, I'll say...
when that good
feeling that you get
isn't about checking
off a task or
getting your fortune back.
But what's stopping me from
saying that's how I feel now
to get you to check
off another task?
You won't.
How do you know?
Because I know you
and I believe that you
have too much respect
for Mrs. Brewster
and yourself to lie.
You know, I was thinking
about calling my Auntie.
It's only two days
into my deadline.
You wanna ask her for grace?
No.
I was gonna apologize.
I treated her really bad.
I brushed her off
on Thanksgiving
and I was trying to
miss Christmas too.
It's never too late to--
No, I think it might be.
She did all this just
to help me
and it still won't change
the way I treated her.
She's my only family left.
The only person that
still cares about me.
She's not the only person.
Uh, you're right.
Opal is great.
Yeah. Opal is.
Let me get this.
Hello?
Yeah.
What?
Are you sure?
All right, I'll follow up.
Thank you.
What's wrong?
The owners of this
building are selling.
What?
Yeah, they say they don't mind
if we ruffle feathers for Opal
'cause they're selling
the Unit Springs.
They don't want
the bad publicity
and an angel buyer
is stepping into play.
Unfortunately this building
will be no more by
the end of the month.
This is my fault.
I never should have
called that company.
Morgan, this is not all on you.
It is.
I threatened to blast
them on social media
and any news outlets
I could reach.
Now all these people
celebrating are about
to find out they're gonna
be homeless in the new year.
Yeah, this is on me.
Excuse me.
She has one day left.
One day. Are you sure?
Yes. I'm sure. There's no way
she's gonna be able to fulfill
three challenges by then.
Especially since all
her little friends
are about to be homeless.
Yeah.
Wait.
How did you know
about that?
I didn't tell you yet.
Well, after you told me how
things went at Opal's job,
I decided to give my friend a
call who invests in properties
and I helped him
to see the value-
Wait, you had someone
buy the Unit Springs?
Surprise.
Cheers.
Hey, Opal.
Hi!
I was just checking
in on our girl.
You know she disappeared
from the party last night.
That party was great, right?
Yes it was.
And she's good.
Don't worry about her.
Just getting a little rest.
Okay. Just a little worried
about her, you know.
Will you tell her I stopped by?
Of course.
Alright. And will you tell her
Ms. Engle brought these for her
to thank her for keeping
a roof over my head.
I'll make sure she gets 'em.
Okay, now. Oh, and one
last thing.
Will you remind her
she's supposed to help me
with the church's
Christmas pageant?
She'll be there.
All right.
Hey. It's me.
Pastries from the neighbors.
Just toss 'em.
I don't deserve 'em.
Yeah, but I think-
That I'm broke with less
than $10 left in my name?
I'm aware.
I deserve to be hungry
and homeless after this.
Morgan. You're not
going to be homeless.
My deadline is tomorrow.
I'm not in love.
Lost all Christmas
hope and joy.
And now I've helped not one
but several people go homeless.
That's three outta four
tasks not done.
That's it.
Today's the perfect time
for a little field trip.
Excuse me.
I mean, Opal says she's
expecting you at church, right?
I forgot I committed to that.
Just tell her I can't. Okay?
- Yes, you can.
- No.
And church is the perfect
place for you right now.
You really gonna
leave Jesus waiting?
Go.
Merry Christmas.
At least I ate
something this morning.
I don't know if he
could say the same.
Sleep in heavenly peace
Sleep in heavenly peace
Hey.
- Oh hey.
- Hey.
I started to think
you weren't coming.
No, I just didn't feel
well this morning.
Was it something you
ate at that party?
'cause you know what I told
Trevor that that hobo stew
is not funny or tasty.
So how can I help?
Girl, are you okay?
'cause you are not
your sparkly self.
Just tell us where you need
us and we'll get the job done.
Okay? I think Ms. Gale, it
might be done in the lobby.
I can go- yes.
The soloist missing.
Oh, oh my. Okay.
What's wrong?
Our lead soloist is MIA.
I know she has to be
around here somewhere,
but we can't move
forward without her.
Look, can you do me a favor?
Can you go to the balcony
and help with some Christmas
decorations and boxes?
Thank you.
- Mm-Hmm?
- Hey.
Are you sure you're okay?
Yeah. And thank you,
by the way.
'cause I wouldn't have
come here without you.
Of course.
Yeah.
Morgan, I need to
tell you something.
What's wrong?
Hi.
Of course I could help.
Just one second.
Familiar scenes
Only to be down again
Rebounding from my last man
We don't need to
say much more
'Cause we've
been here before
Hey.
Hey.
I was scared of sunlight
I understand that
you need a second,
but they're gonna
keep looking for you.
It sounds like your
solo's a big deal.
It doesn't mean anything to me.
I've been on hiatus
from the choir,
taking care of my grandmother.
She's at home on hospice.
The doctor says she
could go any day now.
I'm usually there
with her by her side,
just taking in as
much as I can.
She made me get up,
come to rehearsal.
She's scared I'm gonna regret
giving up on something
that I'm so passionate
about for her
when this doesn't mean
anything to me without her.
Well, don't tell her that.
It won't bring her
any peace, you know?
She raised me
since I was a kid.
I didn't know my parents.
My Christmases were wrapped up
in her hand-knitted blankets,
her pecan delights and,
and Christmas carols,
because she could sing.
She could really sing.
I haven't had a
Christmas without her.
I get it.
No, really I do.
My parents died
and um... I didn't
know what to do.
They meant everything to me.
My aunt and uncle took
me in and they raised me
like I was their own.
And now this is my
first Christmas
without my Uncle Monty.
Everyone expects
me to just move on.
Like them being
gone doesn't hurt.
But Christmas was our holiday.
All of this reminds me of--
And I used to sing, too.
Every year, just for my uncle.
So you do get it?
Yes I do.
But how proud...
would your grandmother
be to see you
rise above your circumstances
and lean on God to
get you through?
You can do this.
If I'm being honest, I don't
feel prepared or anything.
And I'm not sure why they chose
"Indebted" out of all songs.
- But...
- Did you say "Indebted"?
Yeah.
My uncle loved that song.
Been through so much pain
trying to feel whole again
You've wrapped me in your
arms and shown me love
You are the reason I'm here
In this season of cheer
You gifted me your love
Shown me I'm worthy of
You
You are the only
one that I need
Whenever I feel weak,
I call
You
When it's hard to breathe,
life has got me on my knees
I'm free all days, always
I'll see your breath
You're my light
in the storm
My shining knight,
true form
With joyous love
No matter what
you're going through
He's got you
I'm witnessing how
you can do anything
I can just feel all the love
wrapped up in your arms
I've watched you
move mountains
All that you do
now and then
You're always there
right by my side
It's how you ride
You
You're the only one
that I need
Whenever I feel weak,
I call
You
When it's hard to breathe
Life has me falling
to my knees
And praying
All day, always
I'll give you praise
You're my light
in the storm
My shining knight,
true to form
With joyous love
No matter what you're
going through, he's got you
When you need a blessing,
he'll be the no question
Stretching his arms to you
No matter what you
going through
My life, my soul, my all
You make me whole
And that's why I'm
indebted, always
All day, always
I'll sing your praise
You're my light
in the storm
My shining knight,
true to form
With joyous love
No matter what
you're going through
he's got you always
in perfect timing
You my silver lining,
the hurt no more
You can't restore
faith inside of me
Of how you showed up
To be that shoulder
You heard my cry,
you saved my life
I'm indebted to thee
Thank you for not
letting me spiral today.
Who knew that getting out and
coming here was what I needed.
That wasn't me.
All God.
Coming to church always
gives you more clarity.
You know?
I thought you weren't
supposed to help me.
This wasn't about
the challenge.
I just wanted to
be there for you.
Why?
Why do you care so much?
You know, um,
probably because
I'm an amazing friend.
Is that what you are?
Well...
Merry Christmas, friend.
Merry Christmas.
I am not a child.
You don't need to babysit me.
Well, from the
looks of it, I do.
So that's the problem?
You're falling for her.
You have no idea what
you're talking about.
No. Only what I saw.
And it's clear you're
smitten with her.
- Hey.
- Hey.
- Hey Opal.
- Yeah?
I'm so sorry.
Have you seen Andrew?
No, I haven't.
Okay.
I'm fighting for our jobs.
No, you're playing dirty
to get what you want.
Did you forget the plan?
Screw up her challenges
so she fails and we win.
I didn't forget the plan.
Well good.
Because you are just
as instrumental in her demise.
Even more so
because she trusts you.
I'm well aware of
what I've done.
So you just remember that if
you get yourself righteous
and try to run to her Auntie,
your hands are dirty too.
All the things you promised
They ain't mean a thing
Deep cover shame
I've tried so
hard to unlearn
All the bad things
Hey.
What's going on?
What does it look like?
Thought you was here
till tomorrow.
Did something change?
You speak with your aunt?
No, but I left her a message
and told her I'm done.
Going on my prepaid trip
around the world
and forget any of
this ever happened.
Morgan, you're almost there.
- You can really-
- I can do it?
I shouldn't give up?
Save it.
Morgan. What're-
How long were you gonna
keep the charade going?
Oh, you're good.
Your commitment to this whole
lie is really impressive.
Why don't I help you?
I know everything.
Tiffany.
Yes and no.
Look, I was going to tell you.
When?
At church.
At church today?
Right before my deadline?
Yeah, that's great timing.
Look, If you let me, I-
You were by my side
through everything.
And I'm still by your side.
I have your back.
Did you or did you not
lie to me?
Try to get me
to trust you
so that you could sabotage
me behind my back.
I did.
Okay. Then there's
nothing left to say.
Shut the door on your way out.
Morgan.
The damage is done!
I'm done!
Get out!
Nowhere to run to,
so much that haunts you
Like all your mistakes,
when your heart breaks
When your heart breaks
Hey.
Thanks for calling me a car.
Well, you said it
was an emergency.
You know I was gonna
be there for you.
Wait a minute.
Are you quitting?
No, I just lost.
But tomorrow is Christmas Eve.
Christmas Eve, midnight
is your deadline.
Auntie.
I messed with other people's
lives trying to fix my own
and I made everything
worse for them.
So...
And there's nothing you can do?
I know you were trying
to prove that money
doesn't matter, but
that's just not true.
Everybody around
me was suffering
because of what
they didn't have.
And that was all
about money.
Yes.
Then why aren't you happy?
You spent a lot of money
trying to ignore your pain.
Did it work?
Sweetie.
This whole thing was
not a punishment.
I did it out of love.
But you don't wanna see that.
You wanna feel
entitled to your pain.
But I want you to think
about this for a moment.
Are you telling me that
everyone you met,
every life you touched,
could only find
happiness with money?
Or...
Was it about family?
I don't know.
I guess I helped a little bit.
So? Keep going.
Why, when the whole
game is rigged?
Oh, what are you talking about?
What if I just let
everybody down again?
Then at least you
can say you tried.
Here.
Open it.
Honey.
Go home to Unit
Springs and see.
Tomorrow is a new day
and it's Christmas Eve.
Anything can happen.
I love you.
But Auntie's tired.
I'm going back to bed.
Opal, I told you I'm good, girl.
What are you doing here?
I know you don't trust me and
you probably hate me now.
True.
But I'm more upset that
it's Christmas Eve
and I've only done one task.
What are you doing?
I didn't complete that.
There's something
you need to see.
May I show you?
Morgan.
Please?
Where are we?
Toya's house. She's been
trying to reach you.
She wanted to thank you.
For what?
For helping her face her pain.
For helping her send her Nana
off with the love she deserves.
Some of the ladies from
church yesterday
brought her Nana there
to watch the rehearsal.
She sat in the back
quietly and enjoyed it all.
When we left Toya and her Nana
shared a beautiful moment.
So now when she
sings that service,
she'll have that memory.
She said it gave her peace.
And that's because of you.
You're doing that.
You have a big purpose.
Don't let me,
Tiffany or anybody
stop what you're supposed
to be doing in this moment.
So you're not worried
about what's-
I'm not.
All I want to do is...
help you make things right.
This is bigger
than the both of us.
Girl, you are
cutting it close.
It is 11:55 PM.
I wasn't sure you
were gonna show up.
Who is this?
Big Ty.
What is he doing here?
He's here because he
bought the Unit Springs.
Impossible.
I heard the Unit Springs
already had a buyer.
"Had" being the operative word.
Some recent events
inspired me to start uh,
investing in lower income
housing and Unit Springs
is a great option as a starter.
And of course I offered
above the asking price
and got the other
buyer knocked out.
Now all the
families can stay
and have an owner
who actually cares.
Oh, Morgan, this wonderful.
With that being said,
that's another task completed.
Another one,
but not all of 'em.
And it's almost midnight.
So I'm sorry, Morgan, you lose.
Well, I'm fine with that.
I'd rather start from scratch
than be anything like you.
You want the keys
to the kingdom?
You can have 'em.
I have no idea what
you're talking about.
Oh, I think you do.
Andrew here told
me everything,
including his role
in this entire mess.
So don't even try it.
And my baby girl could
have ratted you out
and bought herself more grace
and time, but she didn't.
She did her best regardless
of your shenanigans.
And I couldn't be more proud.
Well, please remember that
when I'm living outta my car
in your driveway.
Not if we can help it.
Thank you for calling.
Thanks for coming.
This house is dope!
What are you all doing here?
You had our backs, so we
had to come and have yours.
Ma'am, you raised one of
the most kindest women
I've ever known.
And quite honestly, I just
want to tell you about-
Nope. Nope. Nope.
Absolutely not. Okay?
She did what she
did for money.
Before you guys all make
me out to be the enemy
I just wanna say
that I'm one of you.
I grew up like you.
I started from scratch
and I worked for every
single thing that I have.
I take care of my mom
and I still give 200 percent
at work every single day.
But Morgan,
Morgan spends one month
with a few troubles
and all of a sudden
she's the queen of Christmas?
Oh my God. Come on.
You guys have gotta
see through this.
She's right.
I originally did
this for the money.
I'm not a saint,
but I am a Brewster,
which means I'm strong,
So... I'll figure
things out on my own.
That's right.
Because she said you're not a
saint, but you are an angel.
It doesn't matter
who you were,
it matters who
you are right now.
Amen.
And we know this Morgan.
And we like this Morgan.
We love this Morgan.
I've seen everything up close.
How much you've grown
in the past 30 days.
Everything you did was real.
I know I hurt you,
but I promise to do everything
I can to earn your trust back.
Look...
If you're starting from scratch
then we're starting
from scratch.
I'm gonna be there for you,
supporting you,
helping you
building with you,
because I believe in you.
Are you gonna take me home
Sounds good to me.
I'm gonna get my
kiss this time.
Okay.
Never wanna let go
Are you gonna take me home?
'Cause I don't wanna
spend this night alone
Are you gonna take me home?
Welp. That's the deadline.
You know you are right.
Congratulations Morgan.
You completed your final
task before midnight.
And if what the two of you
share isn't an example
of opening your hearts to love,
I don't know what is.
So you not only get
your accounts
and Brewster Inc. back,
but you will be the
sole beneficiary of Brewster's Dynasty.
Congratulations, baby.
But why?
Oh honey, it was always a plan.
We were just holding it
down until you were ready.
And Andrew...
I hope you'll help her build
this company out into the dream
her Uncle Monty always had.
I promise I will.
So what about me?
What about you?
- Auntie?
- Hmm?
Can it be my call?
Sure. Okay.
Why don't you and
I meet with HR
so we can figure out a
plan to help your mom
while you find a new job?
Why would you do that for me?
What is it about Christmas?
'Cause, dear.
It's Christmas.
I'm so proud of you.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Never thought I'd be taking
over the family business
focused on serving
our community,
being responsible
for our legacy.
Honestly, I'm a
little scared,
but... I'm gonna
make you all proud.
I promise.
I wouldn't be where
I am without you all.
I really love you.
Thank you.
Something 'bout
the holidays
Makes me wanna stay
right here with you
Thanks.
Hey.
So good to see you.
You look great.
Oh my- oh my goodness!
Hi!
Where are you guys doing here?
Finding them was easy.
If your sister is your
emergency contact.
We thought what a better time
for Mariah to move back in
with her mother than
Christmas day?
This is the best
day ever!
Excuse me one moment. Okay?
Morgan.
I can't, you know,
my counselor,
she has to sign
off on all this-
It's done.
Your pastor helped
me reach out to her.
She approved it.
I- I don't understand.
I- I don't have my...
money yet.
I don't, I- I don't
have a place to move.
She was really excited to
hear about your new job offer.
New job?
Ty is gonna start fixing up
the Unit Springs finally.
And he needs a new manager.
- What?
- So?
Opal?
Thank you.
Thank you so much.
Go.
Looking out the window
Watching people struggle
But they can't
see themselves
To know they need help
Oh, oh, oh
Hey, yeah, yeah
We're stronger together
You know, I couldn't
be more grateful.
I actually thought my
foreman days were over.
Hey man, you're
doing me a favor.
It's hard to find
contractors you can trust.
And who knew Jacob would
be the dream foreman
I needed to see these
renovations through?
Oh, man.
God knew. And you,
Ms. Morgan,
thanks again for everything.
Oh, you don't have to thank me.
Just name your first album
after me and we'll be good.
Man. Break me off some of
your Brewster's millions,
and then we could talk.
Oh, that's my guy.
Oh no, he didn't.
He said it with a
straight face too.
You had to have
taught him that.
What you doing?
You like that?
Turn them cookies up.
This place is amazing.
Yes. See you guys later.
Hey, beautiful.
Hi.
So, was that you?
It was. Everybody
deserves a second chance.
Plus, it's Christmas
Just when I thought you
couldn't surprise me anymore.
Well, I need to start
thinking like a CEO
if I'm running
things around here now.
I have to look into
the other companies.
I helped make sure
there aren't any other
neglected units
floating around.
And I'm also thinking
about finishing law school.
Maybe I can help
more people like Opal.
Now, you know, I like
the way you think.
Now, top of the year I will
be doing my retirement.
So it'll all be yours.
Thank you.
Oh baby.
It's what we do.
No, really thank you.
And I'm sorry about everything.
I know.
But it is nice to
hear you say it.
Oh baby, your Uncle Monty
would be so proud of you.
I love you baby girl.
Love you too.
Shall we hit the dance floor
and continue this
holiday tradition?
I would like that.
So...
So.
You know, you basically
just gave me your heart
in front of everybody, right?
No, I wouldn't say all of that.
Not me.
Hmm.
Well I got it all
recorded, so...
Incriminating evidence.
I like you.
And I'm very, very guilty.
Everything I said was true.
Well I'm glad.
Thank you for not
letting me give up.
I never will.
So what about now?
Would you like to take a trip
around the world with me?
For you?
I'll go anywhere.
Merry Christmas,
Morgan Brewster.
Merry Christmas.
