Kevin: Do you want something to drink?

Water? Coffee?

Drano?

Holiday dance is tomorrow night.

Fundraiser for the new library.

I take it you don't give a sh*t about the new library.

Uh-huh. Ahem.

I want to ask you a favor.

Just... give us a little break tomorrow.

You know, don't show up with your people and your signs and your "stop wasting your breath" bullshit.

If you come, I'm not gonna protect you.

It's the holidays.

People want to drink, they want to relax, blow off a little steam, spend some time with their families.

What the f*ck does that mean?

[Knock on door] Dennis: Hey there, Chief.

Did it work?

Yeah.

They'll be there.

f*ckin' briar patch, huh?

Yeah, f*ckin' briar patch.

Be sure everything's ready at the school for the walk-through.

And tell the mayor to be there.

I don't want any f*ckin' pushback when I arrest these assholes.

Copy that, Chief.

Anything else?

Oh, it looks like somebody stole the baby from the Nativity.

You know, Jesus.

Am I supposed to give a sh*t?

Uh, no?

That's correct, Dennis.

[Line ringing]

[Three beeps]

Recording: The number you have dialed is no longer in service, and there is no new number.

[Three beeps]

Recording: The number you have dialed is no longer in service, and there is no new number.

What the f*ck, Tommy?



Distant man: Ho ho!

Second man: g*dd*mn it. You are goin' down, man.

Distant man: Ohh! Ha ha ha!

He'll call.

When?

When we need him to.

It's been 6 f*ckin' weeks, Christine.

I think we f*ckin' need him to.

He'll call.

[Man speaks Greek]

Man: And why are you in my dream?

[People chuckling]

Man: Ha ha ha!

[Speaking Greek]

Why are you in my dream?

Man: Are you Christine?

Um, uh...

Do you know this guy?

I... I talked to him a couple of times.

[Speaking Greek]

You walk over the dead.

Tom: Hey, step the f*ck back, man.

They're all in white!

Hey!

You walk over the dead!

[Choking]

Stop him!

They're all in white!

Stop!

They're all in white!

[Gasping]

They're all in white!

They're all in white!

[Coughs]

Tom: f*ck!

Man: They're all in white!

Aah! Get off me!

Call the police!

You get off me! Get the f*ck off me!

Man: Call the cops! Call the police!

Tom: No! Don't do it!

I know!

I know what's inside you!

I know what's inside you!

Tom: Come on, Christine. Let's get out of here.

Come on! Come on!

I know what's inside you.

[Speaks Greek]



Ooh, that for me?

No.

Yeah, it is. What'd you get me?

What'd you get me?

The greatest gift of all... love.

Found them.

Those are Grandpa's, not ours.

I'll look for the others when I get home.

Tonight, OK?

I tried calling your brother.

He get a new cell phone?

I don't know.

Well, when's the last time you talked to him?

Couple months ago.

He's still in San Francisco, right?

I don't know.

Well, what do you know?

I told you, I haven't talked to him. Stop copping me.

Kevin: I'm not copping.

I'm allowed to care about where your brother is.

OK, I get it. Jesus, Dad.

Aimee: Hey, speaking of Jesus, big deal at school, Mr. Garvey.

Everybody's talking about it.

What?

The baby, how it just vanished from the manger.

Didn't vanish. It got stolen.

So does that mean it's the police's responsibility to get it back?

Well, Aimee, as the Chief of Police, I would say that that might be a misuse of our resources.

Aimee: Hmm.

They're just gonna replace it.

That's cheating.

Excuse me?

You can't just get a new one.

It's sacred.

Jill, did you steal the baby Jesus?

That's sick.

It is sick.

OK, I have an actual job to go to, so I just want to be clear that I'm not gonna be doing anything about... whatever this is.

Cool. Don't.

Hmm.

You enjoying my sandwich?

All right, listen up or else we're gonna have another f*ckin' riot.

Gym only has 3 entrances. We're not posting on any of them.

Man: Where are we?

Yeah. You got it?

We are gonna be in the parking lot... unmarked cars, waiting.

Dennis: And if the G.R. sets foot on school property, we're gonna arrest them for criminal trespass.

We're gonna scatter two-man teams there, there, there, and there.

We'll have 4 more in the vans.

Soon as they come on the school grounds, we move.

Miranda, zip cuffs...

Mm-hmm.

Oh, hang on. Give me a minute.

What? How do you spell that?

A-F-O-R-D-A, baby boy, 20 inches.

The white one.

Obviously the f*cking white one, Marlene.

f*ck. Good-bye.

Did you know somebody stole the baby Jesus?

Yeah.

All you have to do is run over to the Biggie Superstore and pick a new one up.

A new one?

For f*ck's sake, Kevin. It's not the actual baby Jesus.

No, you f*ckin' do it.

Can you give the Chief and I a moment?

Here's what you're going to do.

Get the f*cking baby, open the box, strip it naked, scruff it up so you can say that you found it in a ditch or a dumpster or something.

And why would I do that?

Because you need a win, Kevin.



f*ck.

Kevin: Somebody stole it, now we're gonna get it back.

Check the bank that faces the Nativity, see if we can pull last night's camera feed.

Dennis: Are you... Are you serious?

Yes, Dennis, I am serious.

So should I make that the priority...

No. Look, the dance is still the priority, but I would like to stop dealing with the g*dd*mn baby f*ckin' Jesus!

[Car rattles] f*ck.

Christ.

f*ck.

[Tires squeal]

[Parking brake cranks]

f*ck.



Dennis: Hey, Chief, you OK? You there?

Chief?

[Turning ignition]

[Engine dead]

Hey, Chief? You OK?

Chief?

Woman: All right. Thank you so much.

We'll be with you in a minute.

Man: Hey, you want a bull's-eye, man?

Tom: No, thanks, dude.

It's so the Creator can find us.

Yeah.

You know, for next time.

Hey, good luck with that.

[Tom sighs]

How much longer?

I don't know.

What'd you say to him?

What?

The naked guy who att*cked you.

You said you talked to him before he went bat sh*t. What'd you say?

I don't remember.

Did you talk about Wayne?

Maybe.

OK, you can't talk about the ranch, Christine, OK?

It isn't my fault.

He att*cked me.

It is your fault, because you can't tell strangers that you're pregnant with Wayne's baby.

I didn't tell him! It was in his dream!

Tom: It's OK. It's OK. It's OK. Shh.

Shh. From now on, you keep your f*ckin' mouth shut.

OK? Not a f*ckin' word.

Woman: This'll be a little cold.

So you haven't been to see a doctor before now?

No.

So no prenatal care, vitamins, anything like that?

No.

[Rhythmic b*ating]

There's the heart right there.

Looks like you're at about 12 weeks, give or take.

So... so the baby's OK?

You want to tell me what happened?

A guy att*cked her.

A guy?

Yeah.

Yeah, a guy. I mean, he came out of nowhere. He was on dr*gs or something.

Did you call the police?

Uh, no.

[Scoffs]

I had to hit him to get him off of her.

He just ran away. I... I wanted to get her here.

Are you the father?

Just a friend.

[Monitor beeps]

The fetus looks normal, but I want to admit you to Maternity, do a few tests, stay on the safe side.

Just stay put, OK?

Get up. We're leaving.

Come on. Get up.

What?

She thinks I did this to you. Get up! Come on! Let's go!

Say it wasn't my fault.

It wasn't your f*cking fault!

Now come on!

You have to mean it.

It isn't your f*cking fault!

Come on!

Don't tell them anything.

Man: Call Security!

Hey!

Hey! Hey! Stop!



[Tom grunts]

Went down this way.

[Both rapping along to radio]

[Tires squeal]

[Truck horn honking]

Dude, dude.

[Honking continues]

Dude! I'm driving!

Dude! No, no, no. I think he wants us to pull over, man.

[Honking continues]

Pull over!

Wrong! I got it!

sh*t.

Oh, be cool, be cool, be cool.

[Truck door closes]

[Turns off music]

Hey, Officer. Sorry.

We didn't know you were a cop.

You guys usually have those flashing...

You two hang out with my daughter, right?

Jill Garvey?

Yeah. Sure.

She's awesome.

Did she steal the baby out of the Nativity scene?

What?

I've got security video, and one of the suspects was wearing a hoodie.

That's... profiling.

Uh...

Which one of you is the f*ckin' smart one?

Uh...

You are a part of this, and we all know that, but your dreams of getting high in college will die because you'll have an arrest on your f*ckin' transcript.

But if that baby is returned to me, no questions will be asked.

Understood?

We don't get high...

Understood?

Yeah.

Have a nice day.



[People chuckling]

Boy: Dude, do not Instagram that.

The cops can trace that sh*t.

[Blows raspberry]

You're gonna get busted, Jill.

Your dad already knows you took it.

Did you tell him I took it?

No.

But he does.

Whatever.

He doesn't care anyway.

What the f*ck are you doing?

Max: As our esteemed guest was unjustly crucified by the Romans, I, milady, am bestowing unto him a Roman soldier's helmet.

What is that?

Max: Oh, ho, ho, you will find out.

Max. Dude.

Aimee: Oh, God! Don't!

What the f*ck? Oh, my God.

You prick. Get your balls off the son of God.

Ah! Quit! Ah, f*ck you.

We're bringing him back, right?

Boy: I hope that hurt.

What?

Your dad's obviously looking for it and he has enough sh*t on his plate, you know?

Hey. Give me that.

We're gonna need some gasoline.

Max: Ha ha! Yeah!

f*ck yeah!

Kids: Whoo!

Max: You are a f*cking genius, Garvey!

[Kids laughing]

Oh, son of God, king of kings, lamb of lambs...

I anoint thee.


[Kids laughing]

[Girl singing]

[Kids join in singing]

Light him up, Garvey.

Max: Light him up!

Light him up!

Others: Light him up! Light him up!

Light him up! Light him up!

Light him up! Light him up...

[Chanting continues]

[Kids groan]

Max: Oh, boo!

What the f*ck was that?

Really! What's going on?

Go f*ck yourselves.

Go f*ck ourselves! Go f*ck ourselves!

Kids chanting: Go f*ck ourselves! Go f*ck ourselves!

Go f*ck ourselves! Go f*ck ourselves!

Go f*ck ourselves...

[Chanting continues]

[Siren blares]

[Opens soda can]

Ah. [Hisses]

[Chuckles]

Clever. [Crumples pamphlet]

Clever.

[Distant siren blares]

OK.

Now's your chance.

[Sniffs]

You want me to trust you?

You want me to give my life for that girl?

Then you need to let me know why.

You have to let me know why.

[Sighs]

[Sniffs]

I want to go home.



Last chance.

f*ck you.

[Cell phone ringing]

[Beep]

Hello?

Wayne?

Woman on phone: Have you lost someone?

What?

So many of us were affected by the events of October 14th.

Even now, after all this time, we're still struggling.

[Laughing]

Still looking for help and not knowing where to turn.

If you or anyone you know has suffered loss as a result of the Sudden Departure, please hold for a Loved Ones representative.

We can help you find peace.

You're f*ckin' good, Wayne.

That's a real f*ckin' good one.

Bus driver: Hello?

What's it gonna be? Sir?



[Dog barking]

Oh, sh*t. [Tires squeal]

I'm Meg. We met the other day in...

Yeah, no, I remember.

Do you want to come in the house?

Yes, thank you.

You can smoke in the house.

[Unlocks door]

Kevin: These came in to the precinct today, so if you don't eat them, probably just go stale.

There you go.

There. Kn*fe.

[Sighs]

Did you want a coffee?

No, thank you.

What's that?

"Kevin, I can't say this to you, "but I won't just slip it under the door and run away.

"You deserve to look at me when it is said.

"You were a good husband, Kevin, "probably a great one.

"You were there when I needed someone the most.

"You fixed another man's mess, "my mess.

"You raised Tom as if he were your own, and you loved him even when he wouldn't let you."

What are you doing?

"I need you to know this isn't your fault.

"It's nobody's fault.

"I was broken.

"I tried to fix myself.

"I tried for you and for Tom and for Jill, "but I think I'm supposed to stay broken.

Maybe we all are."

What's in that envelope, Laurie?

"I won't insult you, Kevin, by saying that this is what's best for you."

No, please stop talking, just for a second.

"It's not my place to know."

What's in the envelope?

"You've always been the best shoulder to cry on."

Please stop talking.

"But I had to stop crying."

What's in the envelope?

"The world changed faster... "

Shut the f*ck up!

Are they making you do this?

You just... you don't... talk to me for 6 months, and then you just walk in here, into our house... and then you give me this?

[Drops paper]

No.

No.

I'm your husband. We made f*cking vows.

You want this... this over? Then you f*ckin' say it!

You f*ckin' say it!

Not her!

Say it!

"I want this over!"

f*cking say it!

You f*cking say it, Laurie!

[Floorboard creaks]

Kevin: Honey.

It's for you.

[Footsteps retreat, ascend stairs]

[Door upstairs closes]

I think you should go.

[Distant dog barking]

I didn't know you had a daughter.

You should keep that.

I won't tell.

[Lighter clinks]

[Overlapping chatter]

'Scuse me.

Uh, w-where is Maternity?

Fifth floor.

Thank you.

[Elevator chimes]

[Woman giggles]

Do you know you're in a hospital?

Uh, we don't... we don't believe in shoes, man.

[Scoffs]

How'd you end up like this, kid?

I was abandoned by my father.

[Elevator chimes]

[Distant baby crying]

Tom: Hey.

Hey.

You ready to go now?

Yeah.

Here.

[Chuckles]

What's that for?

It'll make you invisible, so the Creator can find us.

[Scoffs]

I knew you'd come back.

I promised... that I would protect you.

I'll protect it, too.



Leave your shoes.



[Knock knock]

Headed to the dance.

Put 20 bucks under the magnet if you want to order a pizza.

Thanks.

How much did you hear last night?

"f*cking say it, Laurie."

Why was she here?

Well, it's complicated.

Let me know when it gets simple.

[Sighs]

[Distant dog barks]

Go, go, go, go! Hey!

Stop, stop, stop, stop!

Stop, stop, stop. Stop!

Go! Drive, drive!

[Tires squeal]



I found him.

Man: You don't know where Yemen is?

Christine: No, I don't. Show me.

I'll draw a map on your hand.

[Both laugh]

So, if Dubai is here, then Yemen is right here.

[Christine giggling]

Hi there, buddy.

Hey.

We didn't want to wake you.

Tom, this is Tom.

How 'bout you're Tommy?

[Brakes screech, passengers gasp]

[Christine whimpers]

[Overlapping chatter]

You OK?

Uh-huh.



[Overlapping chatter]

[Car door closes]

Other tom: Careful there, Tommy.

Some sad idiot paid a f*ckin' fortune just to bury that thing.

Hey, Tom!

They're all in white!

It's just like the dream!

Lucy, inside: Everyone having a great time tonight?

[Crowd cheers]

Lucy: So, how is everyone enjoying those delicious cookies?

They're courtesy of Alan and Marty...

[Muffled police radio chatter]

[Applause]

Lucy: Oh, and, um, one last thank you to Chief Garvey and his amazing team for keeping us all safe tonight.

Come on up here, Kevin. Say hello.

[Microphone feedback]

Thank you, Madam Mayor.

I'm sure you're all set to have a pretty great time tonight.

I only ask that if you have a few drinks, that you call a cab on the ride home.

Thank you, and, uh, also... ahem... I know a lot of you were worried about this little guy, but we found him safe and sound, and as soon as the dance is over, I am personally gonna be delivering him back to the manger, so... that... ahem... there's that.

[Scattered applause]

Thank you, Chief Garvey.

Sure.

We're lucky to have you.

[Applause]

[Person cheers]

OK, Mapleton, how 'bout a slow one?

[Crowd cheers]



[Kevin sighs]

You all danced out?

Just taking a break before my stunning finale.

Oh.

What's up with the baby?

Oh. [Scoffs]

It's not real. It's...

I figured.

[Both chuckle]

This is my locker.

You went here?

I did.

Oh, I don't remember you.

That's because you're much older than I am.

[Chuckles]

[Chuckling]

That was my husband's locker.

Doug.

Ten feet away. It took him a whole year to notice me.

Oh.

"Oh"?

No, I just...

[Sighs]

I'm sorry about what happened to him, to you.

I just found out he cheated on me.

I cheated on my wife.

Why?

[Exhales]

Is there a good answer to that question?

Hmm. I think I just heard it.

It's Kevin, right?

Mm-hmm.

Nora?

Mm-hmm.

Nice to meet you.

Yeah, it's nice to meet you, too. [Chuckles]

Nice to meet you.

[Sighs]

Have a good night.

'Night. Heh heh!

Dennis: Chief, we can't touch 'em.

What?

They're about 5 yards back from school property.

[Police radio chatter]

Chief, what are you...

Look like they're on school property to me.

It's our word against theirs, right?

Behind your back. Let's go, let's go. Come on. Up.

Kevin: You know, I actually started to worry that you might be a human being for once and not show up?

Man: This way.

Thanks for not letting me down.

[Engine turns over]

[Police radio chatter]

[Distant siren blaring]

Where's everybody else?



[Door creaks]

[Distant dog barking]

Do you want me to come with you?

[Van door closes]




Hey!

Hey, Chief.

I heard the baby went missing.

I... had a spare.

Oh.

Merry Christmas.
