(bells ringing)

(bright music)

(voices overlapping)

- I got it, relax.

- You don't have to act so tough.

- Calm down.

Hey, ow. (train engine blows)

- Hold on.

Hey, are you okay?

Do we need to take a break?

- You stepped on my foot, dude.

- I'm sorry.

- Yeah.

- I'll go get the tickets.

- Uh-huh, who's trying to be the tough guy now?

- When most men try, your big brother succeeds.

- Hah.

- You seen the doc?

- No. - Okay, I'll be back.

(indistinct)

(soft romantic music)

(indistinct)

- Hey, can I ask you something?

Yeah, you. - Me?

- Mm-hmm, I could use a woman's opinion.

This paper, is it too baby-ish?

It's for my niece. She's 12.

I haven't seen her in a while and you know.

- Yeah, (laughing) she'll hate that.

- Ah, I knew it. I knew it.

- I mean, come on.

What's less cool than teddy bears?

- Well, now I don't even want to tell you what's inside.

- Is it a doll?

- No.

- A sweater. - Uh-uh.

- A puzzle.

- Hey, hey, hey. I like puzzles.

- I do too. I do too.

But your niece probably won't.

- Okay. It's a jump rope.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

She used to be into Double Dutch when she was younger.

Okay?

- Okay.

- You're right. I'm outta my league here.

- That's okay.

Look, here's what you do.

You give her the gift,

but you tell her it's a decoy present

to throw her mom off the trails.

Then you get her a gift card from here.

You'll be the coolest uncle ever.

- I like that color you're wearing.

- Thanks. - Mm.

- Holly berry, my lucky shade.

- Oh, why you needing luck?

- Well, I'm a singer.

- Ah.

- And here he is.

This is my little brother I was telling you about.

So then this guy who's just outta surgery,

he's still confused

and he keeps talking about pineapple, pineapple,

so I'm trying to be a good big brother.

I go out to the store, buy a can of pineapple,

smuggle it into the hospital,

even place 'em in a bowl right in front of him,

only for this guy to wake up, look into the bowl,

and he says, "What the heck is this?

"I ordered grapes."

(men laughing)

- [Man] That's a good one.

- Hey, the Doc here yet?

- I don't know, Desmond.

I haven't seen her.

- Okay.

Oh well, hello there.

- Hello.

- Do we know you? - Not yet. Sabrina.

- Oh, well, Desmond Jerome Powell.

- Nice to meet you guys.

- Pleasure's ours.

Yeah, these are some of my pals.

- Elliot, Sam and Jeff.

- She's with us. - I know.

- All right. So you're part of the band?

- Yes, sir. I am.

- Oh, nice. What do you play?

- I'm a singer.

Yeah, we perform for servicemen like you two, actually.

We're headed home on the Northeast Regional.

We had a holiday concert last night at Fort Mead.

- Oh, well, what a coincidence, huh?

Looks like we're all gonna be traveling on the same train.

- Oh, look at that all. (warm music)

- [Worker] All aboard!

- Well, let's go.

- Let's do it. - Let's roll it up.

(horn blowing)

- [Woman] Now boarding!

(horn blowing)

- Yo, Jerry up here.

Hey, Sabrina, you wanna sit up here with us?

- Oh, I'll just grab this seat right here.

Thank you, though.

- Oh, here, let me.

- Thank you.

- Sorry. - Just go around.

- Where's that doc?

- I don't know.

I told you I don't need her to come.

- Ladies and gentlemen, on behalf of the rail service,

I would like to welcome you aboard our special historic

holiday railway.

Although we will be running our regularly scheduled routes

along the Eastern seaboard,

please enjoy the view from our festive restored vintage 1928

passenger cars and please don't hesitate to let one

of our service attendants know if we can do anything

to make your journey more comfortable.

Thank you.

(woman panting)

- Dr. Pierce.

- Hey, guys.

- Doc!

- Thank you. (laughing) - Up here.

- Oh, thank you.

Could you?

- Yeah, of course.

- Thanks. - You can have this seat.

- I appreciate it.

- Hey, thanks for making it.

- Of course. I'm glad I made it.

I had to work a double this weekend and overslept.

Jerome, how you doing?

- You know, you really didn't have to--

- She knows she doesn't have to.

Well, what makes you think she's here for you?

- It's true. My in-laws insisted we join

them in Boston this year.

But honestly, I prefer train travel.

- Willmington, Philadelphia, traction, Newark, Penn Statio,

Stanford, Bridgeport, Providence, Boston,

Concord, New Bentham.

- Where'd you say your family lives?

- Oh, the last one. New Bentham.

- Woo. Well, here we go.

(horn blowing)

(festive music)

- The big one's (indistinct).

- Oh, stop.

(bell ringing) (music continues)

(train horn blowing)

- Ooh, isn't this one cute?

- That's the one. - Okay, I like it.

(phone ringing)

Oh, excuse me. - Of course.

- Althea's Holiday Wonderland, a Pal family market.

Open until 11:00 PM today.

How may we be of service?

- I can't believe you have to drop that

entire mouthful every time you answer the phone.

- Boy, you better be calling me from the train.

Put my baby on.

- Yes, ma'am. Yes, ma'am.

Mom.

Hey, Jer, were we supposed to catch a train today?

- A train? Yeah, you know. Choo choo.

- Oh, a train.

- Yeah, yeah. We were, we were,

but we just got so caught up in smashing

(indistinct) boxes.

Starting fights in the cafeteria.

- Yeah, picking up girls.

You know the ones with the bad reputations?

- Yeah.

Anyway, we forgot to catch that train, Mama.

- Y'all think y'all are so funny.

Oh, I can't wait 'till you get home.

Mama is gonna whoop y'all butt.

- Mary! (laughing) - Mary, is that you?

- Mm-hmm.

- Well, Mary, you do know that your brothers,

your mama, and Santa, we all know

who really belongs on the naughty list this year.

- Ah, this line is only preserved

for mama's golden child.

- Oh, girl. Go ahead now.

So y'all coming?

- We're on our way.

- [Mary] What time are y'all getting in?

- Oh, we'll be there at 8:00.

- Okay. Well, we'll be waiting.

And Des, mind your brother, all right?

- Who mind who?

Huh?

Mama, I'm not the one that needs watching here.

- Mm-hmm.

- Desmond, I mean it.

Don't let anything happen to him.

- I won't, Mama.

We'll call you later.

- My boys. They're in the army.

- Aw, please tell them thank you for their service.

And Merry Christmas.

- Happy holidays. - Thank you.

- (sighs) This is gonna be a special Christmas.

(soft music)

Okay. Come on now.

The Lord didn't put us here to worry.

Okay?

- Okay, okay, okay, next.

(bright music)

(train horn blowing)

- Philadelphia, next stop, Philadelphia.

- You okay?

- I can handle a few buttons.

- Yeah.

Well, I remember the third grade zipper incident.

Yeah. Gruesome.

(music continues)

Gonna go find something to eat.

You want anything? - Mm-mm.

- You sure?

Hey, doc, you hungry?

- Why not?

Ah, why thank you.

- You're very welcome.

- [Olivia] I wonder if they have Christmas cookies.

- Hey.

Hey.

Can I interest you in a bad romance novel?

I'm good.

- If you're sure.

I'm gonna go to the little Santa elf's room.

See you later. - Okay.

- Watching you.

See you guys.

- What type of music do you play?

- Huh?

- What type of music do you play?

- Oh, jazz mostly, just covers.

- You have to study that, like singing?

- No, I didn't go to college

and my family couldn't really afford music lessons.

- Ah. - But that's okay.

I worked, paid for a couple courses myself.

I've just always loved performing.

- You know, it's hard for me to imagine what that's like.

(Sabrina laughing)

- Well, I do get nervous sometimes,

but once I get up there, the nerves just melt away.

- You must be amazing.

- Do you wanna come sit?

- Yeah.

Yeah. Thanks.

(Sabrina laughing) (soft music)

- So you guys home on leave?

- Yeah, we're lucky.

You know, I think my mama, she would've killed us if we

didn't come home for Christmas this year.

- She went to visit you in the hospital, right?

(laughing) Your brother's story.

- No, you know, he made that whole thing up about the frui.

- Mm-mm.

- No, he did. She did come visit me.

I was just there for a while,

so she couldn't stay the whole time.

Yeah.

- So big family then, big holiday dinner?

- No. Nah, just us folks.

You know, me and my brother and my sister and her kids.

Aunties, uncles, cousins.

My grandfather, that's my mom's dad,

and then just a couple people over from the markets.

- Oh. - Yeah.

- Well, any pets?

- Yeah. We have two dogs.

And my niece, she's got this little,

this little hamster, Winston Churchill.

- What are the dog's names? - Mariah and Whitney.

(Sabrina laughing)

What?

Oh, I get it. I get it, yeah.

- Come on, that's a lot of people. (laughing)

- I guess so. Yeah.

I mean, listen, my parents,

they own these markets, I guess you call 'em bodegas.

And every once in a while, if people don't have a place

to go for Christmas, we'll have 'em over.

- Hang on, you said your last name's Powell,

as in Powell Family markets?

- Yeah. You know us?

- Yeah, I do.

- Yeah, I know what you're thinking.

I know what you're thinking.

- I'm thinking that you're rich.

- Uh-uh, no, we're not.

- You're totally rich.

- Hey, my father is a very good businessman.

- And you're super rich. - Okay.

Yeah. Okay.

That's not really my thing.

It's more Dez's thing.

- I mean, wow.

Think about all you could do for people

with that kind of money.

So what's your thing?

- I don't know, really.

- Well, you both joined up.

You certainly didn't have to.

- I know.

We wanted to do some good in the world,

like you said, but Des,

he thought he looked good in the uniform.

I don't know why.

- Which he does.

- Oh, right in my little ego.

- Come on, I'm not gonna pretend

you're not both very handsome.

- Ah.

- Ah, but who's more handsome?

- (laughing) Well, isn't that the million dollar question?

- Bingo.

- Get outta here.

- Hey guy, snack bar?

- Ooh! - Yes!

- Thank you. - You're welcome.

- Want some? - Mm-hmm! That's good.

- I swear to God, cheesy popcorn is always amazing,

but when you're traveling, divine.

- (laughing) So what's everyone's

favorite holiday tradition?

- Ooh, a wholesome question.

- I gotta say caroling.

- Mistletoe.

- Of course. (doctor laughing)

- And you? - Christmas cookies.

Oh, my mama's are the best.

- And mine's Secret Santa.

- Oh yeah. We love that one.

- What about you, doc?

- Wait, what?

What are you a doctor of?

- What is my first name's doc?

(light music)

- Is it?

- (laughing) Dr. Olivia Pierce, nephrologist, kidney doctor.

And my favorite holiday tradition is

picking out the Christmas tree.

- Okay, wait, I need to change my answer.

I do other things, that just...

- So you are gonna tell me or what?

And don't say tell you what.

- Tell you what?

- Why are you and your brother

traveling with a nephrologist?

- We're not traveling with a nephrologist.

It's just a coincidence.

But I was in an accident and then I had

to have one of my kidneys removed.

So, you know, that's how we know Dr. Pierce.

She is my nephrologist.

- Oh, okay. And is that it?

- Yeah, that's it.

- So you're okay? - Yeah, I'm fine.

- But seriously, seriously,

we're all gonna be stuck here for a while

so I propose, we make things quite a bit interesting

with my favorite holiday tradition.

Who's up for a little Secret Santa?

- Yes, yes, yes! - Let's do it!

(Sabrina laughing)

- [Man] I'm game.

- Alright, so I need some paper.

- Oh, well, you know, I got you there.

I got everything you need in this bag.

(group laughing)

There you go.

- Okay. You wanna write 'em?

And I'll give you some paper.

Hungry? - Yes, I am. (laughing)

- Perfect.

- Alright. Perfect.

(light music)

- And don't forget Sam and Jeff.

Jeff with a J.

- Okay. Who's got a cup?

- I think this will work.

- Okie dokie.

- All right.

Shake 'em up. - Oh!

(group laughing)

Now the rules are simple.

We've got a $5 maximum,

but we prefer things to be a little handmade here.

- Do we have to wrap it?

- Of course. It's a Christmas gift.

- I love a challenge.

- Okay. (laughing)

- It's okay.

- Ah-ha, this should be interesting.

- Oh, and I'll take this to the guys.

- Alright, well hold, wait, wait, wait.

Deadline is 1600, 4:00.

Carry on.

- Put this somewhere safe.

- Hi, are you the members of the Star-Spangled Spirit?

- I am. Yes.

- We are very glad to have you aboard.

I was wondering, I heard you perform for service members.

- That's right.

- Well, we have a group of veterans

that are on their way back to an assisted

living home in Newark.

I was wondering if you might be willing to perform for the.

- Oh!

- Perhaps in about 20 minutes?

- Oh, that's quick.

- I do apologize for that, but their stop is coming up.

Of course, if it's too much to ask--

- No, no, we'd love to. (chuckles)

- Thank you so much, miss?

- Day, Sabrina Day.

- Ms. Day. I'll let them know.

- So fun.

- Well, I guess I better let the fellas know.

- I'll follow you out.

I'm excited for the show.

(both laughing)

- What?

- I don't want you helping me

because you feel sorry for me.

- You think I'm trying to help you?

- Yeah.

- (laughing) Bro, I don't even know what it is

you're trying to do.

I don't even know where to begin

to do whatever you need help with.

When have I (indistinct) to take a clean shot?

But you know, if we're talking about Sabrina,

(light music)

oh, I'm playing man to man with you on this one.

So don't worry. Nobody's taking it easy on you.

- You're right.

- You know, think I'm actually about to head back that way.

Maybe have a conversation with her.

Would like to try to stop me?

- Mm-mm.

- All right.

- Newark, next stop, Newark.

- Oh yeah. Look, okay.

Yeah, that's fine.

They might like that one.

- How's our patient?

- You know Jerome, doc.

- We've done all that we can for him and he's stable

and I'm confident that he will continue

to receive the best care possible.

I always try to remind patients in situations like this

to take things one day at a time.

- It's just, you know,

it's just sometimes it seems like he's not really here.

- Well, an injury like your brother's

can have a significant impact.

It's hard to stay present.

- Yeah, that sounds like Jer.

You know, he's always been hard to get close to.

Well, not for me, you know, but,

and now I can just only imagine how tough it would be

to let somebody get close.

You know?

- A lot of people in your brother's position,

they tend to fixate on the uncertainty of the future.

Anything that makes him happy in the moment,

help to cultivate that.

- Oh no, oh, no, no, no, no, no.

- What, something wrong?

(tense music)

- My lipstick. My lucky shade.

- Oh, okay. - Oh...

- No, no, no, wait, we've got to find it.

- Alright, well what's it look like?

- Small, round, like a tube of lipstick.

- She never goes anywhere without it.

- Oh, it's so superstitious, I know, it's stupid.

Hey, hey, hey, hey.

It's okay, I've got friends

who never change their tidy whities

while they're on a winning streak.

Okay?

We'll find it.

All right? - Okay.

- [Desmond] Alright.

- Um, maybe we'd better check the tables.

- Okay, I'll meet you in the observation car for the show.

(indistinct)

Boys. - Be all right.

- Be back.

- Okay.

Hey, excuse me miss.

(soft music)

- Right this way, sir.

- Good to see you. - Yeah.

- How you doing?

- Good, how you doing? - Well, I've been a lot worse.

(men chuckling)

(indistinct)

- How you doing?

- Not bad.

- It's an honor, sir.

I'm, I'm down at Fort Belvoir.

- Oh!

- Private Pal, but please call me Jerome.

- Name's Al.

It's good to meet you, son.

- You too.

- Rogan.

- It's a pleasure.

- They do this every year at the home.

You try to do a feel good show, go through the motions.

I'm not convinced they even know who us broken down

old soldiers really are.

- Not a chance.

- Entertainment's one thing, but I wonder.

- So when Elliot says that you never go on without it,

does he mean that you actually--

- Never, ever.

- How are we doing?

- Maybe you guys should do an instrumental.

- What? No.

- No, come on.

We are not doing this without you.

- Hey, hey, how about this?

Y'all just go ahead and set up.

She'll be out there.

Hey, look, now I know it's none of my business

and we just met this morning

but for what it's worth, I think that you're probably one

of the most beautiful, kind and capable women I've ever met.

And if you don't wanna go out there,

you know, you don't have to.

But you know what I think?

I think that you can,

and I know all those people out there

really want you to try.

(emotional music)

So how about we try this thing out?

- Am I late?

- You're right on time.

(music tuning up)

- All set?

Everyone, thank you all for joining us

for this impromptu little number.

The Northeast Regional proudly presents

the Star Spangled Spirit.

(audience applauding)

- [Man] Woo!

- Welcome ladies and gentlemen.

As we gather here on this very special Christmas Eve, I want

to take a moment to honor our brave veterans

and soldiers among us here tonight.

This performance is dedicated to you

with heartfelt gratitude for all you've done

and all you continue to do.

May your hearts be filled with warmth and joy,

knowing that your service means so much to us all.

(audience applauding)

- Yeah, all right, all right!

- Hit it, boys.

- That was beautiful.

Thanks for remembering.

- Thank you.

- Thank you, young lady.

- Thank you.

- Hey, I would like to introduce you

to my new friend, Al.

(Sabrina chuckles)

- I guess I don't have to tell you just

how talented you are, young lady.

- Oh, well, you can go ahead and tell me, sir.

(laughing) No, but really,

you're the reason we do what we do.

- Don't know how much that means to me, thank you.

- Of course. Merry Christmas. - Merry Christmas. Aw.

- See?

(Sabrina laughing)

I knew it.

- Aw, that's for the pep talk.

- That was amazing. - Thank you.

- Newark everyone, coming into Newark now.

- So what's next?

- How about a game of cards?

- I'll pass.

- Yeah, I appreciate the invite,

but I'm gonna catch up on some reading.

- Nice.

- Well, it's no fun with just too.

- Sure it is.

You know, in basketball, we call that one-on-one,

man to man. (light music)

- Cafe car?

- Let's do it.

What does your mom think about you two being in the army?

- Ah, well, that one's a little complicated

because my dad, he was in the Navy

before he came back to start up the markets.

So of course she's proud of him and she's proud of us.

But she's a mom, so she doesn't want any of us to get hurt.

So she made me promise

that I wouldn't let anything happen to Jerome.

And when I tell you that I swore on my life? (laughing)

Yeah, it's just that, you know, I just never thought

that we would get anywhere near

to where something could happen.

- Yeah, Jerome said it was a car accident?

- Right?

No, we weren't out in combat.

We were just on base.

He wasn't even driving.

Somehow he still found a way to make me a liar.

(Desmond chuckles) (soft music)

(horn blows)

(light music)

- Hey, Dr. Pierce.

- You know you can call me Olivia when I'm not at work.

- What do you got for Secret Santa?

- I don't think I'm allowed to tell,

although maybe you can help me.

Which one is Sam?

- Bass player, I think.

- Got it. Think he'd like a book?

- Yeah, yeah, who wouldn't?

- Hey, Elliot.

Elliot.

Elliot. (snaps fingers)

Do you have Sabrina?

- A gentleman doesn't tell.

- Come on man. I want to trade.

- You wanna trade for Sabrina?

- Mm-hmm.

- You are bananas.

That girl is impossible to buy for.

- Well, who said anything about buying?

Hold on, what do you mean by that?

- She knows exactly what she wants

and she'll return anything that's not it.

But no, I don't have her, thankfully.

(Jerome clears throat)

- Hey, hey, any of you two have Sabrina?

- Nope. - Nope.

- A piece of metal about this long

punctured his right kidney.

There was that.

And then during surgery, he lost a lot of blood,

which caused his other kidney to get infected.

So things have just taken a little longer

than we hoped to recover.

- So that's why you guys are here with Dr. Pierce.

- Yeah.

- He's gonna be okay, right?

I mean, he is okay. Right?

- You know what dialysis is?

- Sure, basically does the job the kidneys are supposed to.

My grandma was on dialysis for a few years

and watching her go through all that, it was hard.

- Well, Jerome, he's stable now, but he's on dialysis,

but the sustainability of that isn't long term.

(soft music)

But how's your grandma doing?

- She passed two years ago.

- I'm sorry.

- So Jerome needs a transplant.

- Bingo. And soon.

So in situations like this, they come to the family first.

You know, my folks and my pops, you know,

they're not in the best shape in order to donate.

And our sister, she's a single mom and has kids.

So there's no way that Jerome would even dream

of letting her donate and get tested.

And then there's me.

- You would?

- Oh, are you kidding?

As soon as I heard about the accident, the first thing

that came to my mind was,

I'm gonna give him every drop of blood that I've got

if he needs it.

You know, I'm his big brother.

You know, it's my job.

But Jerome doesn't want me to get tested.

But I went ahead and did it without him knowing.

The only problem is I'm not a match.

- Oh.

- Yeah.

Ready?

- Yeah.

Oh, (laughing), I'll take these.

(both gasping)

- Hey, hey Jer, what's going on?

- What was that?

- Ladies and gentlemen, please relax.

We've had a minor electrical hiccup

and are resuming normal operations.

We'll be arriving at Penn Station in three minutes.

If this your destination, please gather your belongings.

- This isn't your stop, is it?

- Oh, no, we're we're going all the way up to Providence,

but hey, are you okay?

- Yeah, yeah, I'm fine.

I just, I'm just a little hungry.

That's all.

(soft music)

- Penn Station.

New York City, New York City, Penn Station.

- So which hunk are you getting for Christmas?

- Oh, well...

(both chuckling)

(horn blowing)

- Oh, mustard.

(pills rattling)

(can opening)

Shouldn't have told her.

- (sighs) I know, but it's no good

trying to hide something like that.

And honestly, I come out looking a whole lot worse than you

do when it comes to this thing.

- I am an invalid kidney patient, Desmond.

Nothing is worse than that.

- First of all, nobody thinks that about you,

so I'm gonna need you to never say that again.

You got that?

Second of all, it may be your accident,

but at least it's not your fault.

- What the hell does that mean?

You weren't driving that Jeep that day.

You weren't there, Desmond.

- I'm not talking about the accident.

I'm talking about everything that happened afterwards.

(dramatic music)

- You think this is your fault?

- Well, I'm not getting medals here, Jerry.

I should be able to fix this.

- Look, some things, they just don't work like that.

- Next up, Providence.

Providence in 30 minutes,

- I'm not ready yet though.

- What you working on?

- Well, I couldn't come up with anything good

so I started working on an arrangement.

A song can be a present. Right?

- Totally, I love that idea.

- Cool. Cool, cool.

- Oh, "Oh, Holy Night?"

- Yeah.

- Wow. Ambitious.

- You think it's too much?

- No. I mean, it'll kill,

but you really gotta go over those notes.

- I know. Oh man.

Just wish I could find my luck. You know?

- Want me to get the keys?

Oh, hey guys.

Start without me, I'll be right back.

- All right. Alright.

(Olivia chuckling)

All right, since it's nearly 4:00

and some of our new friends have to leave us shortly,

let's begin the first annual Northeast Regional Secret

Santa Gift Exchange.

- Woo-hoo!

- Now we all know the rules,

but did we all follow the rules?

- Boo! - Close enough. (laughing)

I propose that we begin with those gifts

for the very talented members of the Star-Spangled Spirit.

So let's start with Jeff. Who drew Jeff?

- Come on.

(all laughing)

- Oh, keep it PGO.

- Okay.

Judges, today I have prepared for you a holiday caricature.

- [Olivia] Oh, wow!

- Oh, that's actually really good, wow!

- Merry Christmas, Jeff, mmm!

- So talented. (group chuckling)

- Well, that was incredible. All right.

And I've got Sam here, who's about

to be the unfortunate victim of a regift,

but which has undeniable utility nonetheless.

- Right, right.

- And a little nephrologist humor

from the nurse is there for you.

(group chuckling)

- Look at that.

- [Man] That's good.

- Alright. (group laughing)

Thanks, doc.

- Merry Christmas.

All right, and next up, Sabrina.

Who drew Sabrina?

(light music)

(all laughing)

- Oh! - All right.

- Alright. All. All right.

Well, I must admit in advance

that I did bend the rules a little,

because I didn't wrap my gift.

- [All] Boo!

- But I do have this.

This is the contact info of my old friend, Rob,

who would do anything for me

and he just so happens to be in the music business.

Specifically, he's a producer with Largo Records.

He's always begging me to let him know if I just happened

to discover any brand new talent

and as of the day I did,

so I actually sent him some video footage

of you all performing earlier

and he's already texted me back, says he'd love to meet you.

- [Band Member] What?

- I know.

It's just something I thought would help

you reach more people.

(soft music)

- I don't know what to say.

Seriously, this is, this is too much, Dez.

- Oh, no, no, no, no, no.

It'd be an honor to introduce you to him.

Merry Christmas.

(all applauding)

- Wow!

(lights buzzing)

Oh!

- You okay?

- Yeah, I, um..

- Uh-oh.

(train whistling)

- What's going on?

(tense music)

- Seems like it was another electrical hiccup.

Everybody okay?

- Yeah, yeah, - Yeah. We're fine.

- Okay. All right.

Well, I'm gonna go check it out.

- Is everyone okay?

- Yeah, everybody's doing fine.

What's going on?

- To be honest, we're not sure.

Obviously we have some kind of electrical failure.

I've already got engineering working on it,

but unfortunately, you folks should expect a delay.

- For how long?

- I don't know.

- It's Christmas Eve.

- I sincerely apologize.

- Well, hold on.

That means it's gonna get cold in here, right?

- Yes.

Unfortunately, with all of our systems down.

- Ma'am, if I may, where have we stopped?

- There does seem to be a town just up the tracks.

We don't typically stop there,

but if you all would like to go

and find somewhere warm to wait, we'd be happy

to come by and pick you up

once we resolve the problem.

- I'm for it.

- Okay. Sure. - I could use a drink.

- Yeah. All right.

- Please go ahead.

(light music)

Once again, I apologize.

- Oh, it's not your fault.

- Thank you. - Thank you.

- Everybody bundle up.

- Thank you very much.

- Hold on. - Oh.

(soft music)

- Hey, what about this place?

- Ah, you think it's open?

- That was delicious, Tom. Merry Christmas.

- Merry Christmas.

- Merry. Christmas.

- Guess so!

- All right. - Yeah.

- He looks just like Santa.

- Thank you. - Of course.

- Wow.

- Oh, okay.

All right. Cozy.

- Okay, I think I'm gonna go make a phone call.

- Oh, actually, I should probably

check in with my family too.

All right. Back out in the cold we go.

- Can I help you?

- Excuse me, are you open?

- Door's unlocked, isn't it?

- All right, well, let's have a table for three in, please.

- You sit anywhere you want.

I'm the only one here,

so I'll take your order at the counter.

- Great.

We'll be right back.

Thank you.

- Yeah, not exactly a picture of holiday cheer, is it?

- So what do you want?

- Oh, I'm sorry.

We can actually just order at the front counter.

- I'm here now.

- Okay. Well, what would you recommend?

- Onion rings. Everyone likes the onion rings.

Three onion rings.

- [All] Uh...

(all laughing) (light music)

- Geez. Freezing.

I think I half turned into Jack Frost out there.

- Well, as long as you're not start nipping anyone's nose.

- Hey, don't tip me.

Hey, speaking of a little nip.

Dear, sir, might you serve any spirits

to warm our holiday spirits?

- Just coffee.

- I was thinking about something a little more.

- Just coffee.

- Just coffee. Okay.

And a couple menus please.

- Thank you.

- What?

We are old enough to imbibe.

You're 25 and I'm and my twenties, early twenties.

Early twenties. We are all adults here.

(door jingling)

- [Sabrina] Down here, we (indistinct).

- No drinks. - Okay.

- The waiter hates us. - But we have to do it.

(bell jingling)

- [Group Member] This guy.

- Okay.

- Okay.

So what will it be?

- Coffee.

- Me too, please.

- And two cheese burgers, please.

- Salad. No tomatoes.

Some kind of light dressing if you have it, and a water.

Thanks.

- Oh my goodness.

- What was that?

(Sabrina laughing)

- Who doesn't want business on Christmas Eve?

- Eh, you know, he probably just wants to go home.

- Yeah. Well, we all want that,

but I mean, it seems like it's his place

so he could just close up if he wanted to.

- Mm, yeah.

- Did you really order a salad?

- Yeah. - One minute after five,

I'm gonna be a very rich (indistinct).

(group laughing)

- Tony.

- Yo! - We got customers.

- Really? - Big crowd.

Better get cooking.

(emotional music)

- Whatever you say, boss.

- Anything else?

- No. - No thanks.

- All right, I put it all in one check.

- Merry Christmas. - Thank you.

- Well, mama's gonna be leaving for the station any minute.

You wanna be the one to call her, or should I?

- Every time...

All right.

- It'll be fine.

She will be disappointed,

but there'll be other Christmases.

So who's waiting for you?

- Hmm? - Huh?

- Oh, I...

No one.

- What?

- I do have my sweet elderly neighbor, George, though,

who watches my cats when I'm on the road with the guys.

And I'll usually go over to a friend's for Christmas dinner

or there's a really good Chinese place down the street.

My grandma used to say, "Honey, feeling sorry

"for yourself is like a bubble bath,

"a silly little luxury that goes cold real quick."

- Oh man, I wish I would've heard that months ago.

(Sabrina laughing)

I bet you miss her.

- Every day.

- Do you mind my asking? - Hmm?

- What happened to her?

- She had diabetes and high blood pressure,

and then ended up with kidney disease.

I wish I would've known earlier

that she was at such high risk, to make sure

that she was going to her checkups and all.

But once again, she was very stubborn.

But you've probably heard enough

about kidney failure to last a lifetime.

- Boy have I.

So is that why it was hard for you to...

I just couldn't help but notice that when Des,

he tried to give you the gift and it seemed hard

for you to accept it.

(soft music)

- You think I'm proud?

- No, I think you're strong.

And it's just that sometimes strong people,

I mean, I get it.

I understand.

And Des, he really is a good guy.

I'm sure that he was honestly trying to help you.

- Do you find it easy to accept gifts?

- That's different.

- Why?

- We just, we grew up differently.

Wasn't a lot that I needed.

- Isn't there?

If someone woke up tomorrow and said,

"Jerome, my kidney's your kidney, here you go,"

do you think it would be easy for you to just say, yes?

Some gifts are too big.

- Ah, well that went as well as expected.

- Have you heard anything from the conductor yet?

- No, and I checked out getting a ride share,

but we're too far outside of anywhere.

The app just keeps spinning like there are no drivers

who want to take up a fair.

- [Jerome] It's Christmas Eve.

- Well, this is getting ridiculous.

What is this, the 1800s?

How about a taxi?

- An idea.

I'll check it out. (light music)

- I'll come with you. - All right.

(indistinct)

- Oh, thank you.

- Thanks.

(indistinct)

(Olivia laughing)

(voices overlapping)

- Excuse me.

Would you happen to have the number

to the local taxi service?

- Hang on.

- We're kind of stranded here, sir.

- Sir, we were on the Northeast Regional

and it's having mechanical issues.

- Tony, yo Tony?

- Yes, boss?

- Murray still running his cab?

- Bosco?

Not since he got his last DUI. (laughing)

Actually, you know what?

I think he is driving again.

Let me give him a call.

- No, no.

- Not a problem.

- Hey, no thank you. We'll pass.

- Thanks though.

(plates shattering)

(gasps) Are you okay?

- Oh, for God's sake.

- Here. Here, let me help you.

- Oh, thank you. I'm fine.

- Let me get it. - The mop.

- Let me do it.

- It's okay. It's okay. - I'm so sorry.

- Alright, all right, come up.

Please, get away from it.

Put it down and get away from it, please.

- You folks are in a real pickle, huh?

- (laughing) You have no idea, brother.

- (chuckles) You could have picked a better day.

- (laughing) Hey, how long are you guys gonna be open for?

- It's up to Tom.

Honestly, I'm surprised we're still open.

And in fact, I'm surprised every day we open.

But that's how Tom is, he's got a big heart.

- Are we talking about the same guy here?

You sure?

Because that doorbell that was

above your door would disagree.

- Ah, that's bark and bite.

Lemme tell you this.

Last Christmas Eve, we had about two feet of snow out here.

The town vagrants came in here to get warm.

Tom stayed open all night.

That's the kind of guy he is. (emotional music)

- Alright Ton, you take care of this, you can go home.

I'll close up.

- Thank you, sir.

Listen, I can't take everybody,

but I could give a couple of you a ride

if you need a lift somewhere.

- To Providence?

- You're going that far north?

- [Desmond] Well, New Bentham actually.

- Ooh, that's beyond my reach.

Best I can do is the motel out by the interstate.

- Eh, guess we better stick near the train.

- Alright.

- Merry Christmas, Ton.

- Merry Christmas, boss.

- So I guess we'll just hang out here a little while longe?

- Yeah, I guess.

(soft music)

(band members snoring)

- Excuse me.

Excuse me.

Do you have a restroom?

- It's out of order. Sorry.

Okay, look, go down to the end of the counter

and make a right, then you make a left.

It says employees only, okay?

- Thank you.

(Sabrina humming "O, Holy Night")

- Okay, this is ready.

Why don't we take it for a test drive

and finish up Secret Santa?

- Okay, except I think we're trying

to avoid being intrusive.

- This feels like purgatory, or worse like study hall

with a really strict teacher.

- Oof. - I hate that.

- Gosh.

- I'm so bored.

I need music.

- L, what are you doing?

- I need music. - Please don't.

- I need music. (soft music)

(water running)

(music continues)

- Mr. scary diner man.

I just wanted to check in with a clean slate.

I know we started off tough.

I'm sorry about the plates, but I'm looking for some musi.

Perhaps you have like a auxiliary cord

or you're more of a radio guy.

Oh!

- Check this out.

This guy has phosphate binders in the bathroom.

- What?

- Along with like vitamins, B6, B12, folic acid.

What do you think, doctor?

- Yeah. Sounds like a dialysis patient to me.

- Hmm.

- Hey, kidney failure is enough

to make anyone grouchy.

- That's the truth.

- I just wish there was

something we could do for him.

- What you got? What you got?

My man!

What is this, this contraption?

Okay. (bright music playing)

Oh, we've got something, we got it.

"Jingle Bells."

That's my jam. Oh my gosh!

Everyone, let's dance guys!

Christmas has come!

Come on, my girl, where she at?

There she is! (laughing)

Come on, gimme a little somethin'!

(Sabrina laughing)

- Ooh!

- Oh, and a spin in. Okay!

Okay!

Come on guys. Come on!

Get up, get this Christmas heat, oh, there he is.

Let's go.

- I'm a bird. - Oh, he's a bird.

- Bird, lemme fly. - And fly, and fly.

Fly that way. - Lemme fly, lemme fly.

Lemme fly, lemme fly.

(Sabrina laughing)

- Hi.

We haven't been properly introduced.

I'm Dr. Olivia Pierce, nephrologist.

- Tom Sullivan.

You know, I've been on the waiting list

for a kidney for two years.

- Have you been doing dialysis?

- Two years.

- Wow. It's tough.

- Yeah, better than not having dialysis though, believe me.

- I know how tough it is.

We're actually traveling with one of the boys right now.

He needs a kidney.

- Which one?

- The younger one.

- The skinny one? - Skinny one.

- Not much of a dancer is he?

- I don't think a new kidney will help with that.

(music continues)

- Ladies and gentlemen, on behalf of the railway service,

I sincerely apologize.

The conductor has asked me to let you all know

that the repairs are taking longer than expected to resolve.

Given the holidays and the inconvenience,

the railway service is prepared

to refund the cost of your ticket

and it is our sincere hope get you all back on board

and to your destinations as quickly as possible.

- So how long are we talking?

- I really couldn't say, sir.

- Hey, how'd you like a cup of hot apple cider?

- No, I, I have to be getting back.

But thank you and merry Christmas.

- Merry Christmas. - To you.

- Merry Christmas.

- Um, you're all welcome to stay as long as you need to.

- Thank you, Tom.

- Hey, if this is what it is...

- Then it's what it is.

- Might as well make the best of it.

- Operation decoration?

- [Desmond] Ah! (all laughing)

- Let's do it.

(energetic music)

- Hot cider. You didn't tell me there was hot cider.

- This is New England.

- Oh, I love it.

- Do you mind?

- Not at all. Just don't make another mess.

- Great. Thank you.

Now let's see what we got. (Sabrina laughing)

(energetic music)

May I?

- Knock yourself out.

- Hey, did anyone order some holiday cheer?

(group laughing)

- Who wants hot apple cider?

(all murmuring)

- Thank you! - Cheers!

- Mm, that's really good. - Mm-hmm.

- So, I spoke to Tom, you were right about his condition.

He's been on dialysis for over a year,

but ultimately he needs a kidney transplant.

There's no one in his network who can offer him a kidney,

so he's been on the national waiting list,

hoping for a deceased donor.

- We definitely know how that feels.

- But I told him about the registry

and he seemed interested

so maybe I'll sign up.

- Come on.

- Yeah.

- What registry?

- There's this registry where patients

and willing donors can both sign up,

along with their medical information

to find a good potential match for a living kidney donation.

- I'm sorry, I don't think I fully understand.

- Well, many patients receive an organ transplant

from a family member or another relative or a close friend.

But if the willing living donor

isn't a good match for the patient...

- Like Dez and Jerome.

- Precisely, then they can both sign up on the registry.

The idea of course, is that maybe another living donor

would be a good match for Jerome

while perhaps Dez might match

with somebody else in the registry.

It's sometimes called a paired donation,

where the willing donor doesn't necessarily have

to be a good match for their loved one in order to donate.

They can even designate their kidney to their loved one

and that patient will receive a voucher moving them

to the top of the list from when a good match

for a kidney does become available.

But the really amazing thing is when an altruistic donor,

someone outside the network of any patient whatsoever,

really anyone in excellent health decides to donate,

and that can set off a whole domino effect

of paired donations.

(soft music)

- So let's say person A, one of these altruistic donors,

gives a kidney to person B...

- And then person B's family member gives a kidney

to person C...

- And then person C's friend gives a kidney

to person D...

- Before you know it

so many people have been helped, possibly even saved,

all because of that one generous donation.

- It's a chain.

And does it matter, the background of these people?

- No. All kidneys are pink.

- So how might one know if they'd be a good donor?

- Well, they have to be in very good health

and they would go through a transplant center,

which would send them through a series of medical tests

and a psychological evaluation to determine eligibility.

But again, they don't necessarily have to be a good match

for their loved one in order to donate.

They can go through the transplant center and the registry

and that will help them find a good match.

But if you were interested in donating

to someone in particular,

the first thing they would find out is your blood type.

Do you happen to know yours?

- Althea's Holiday Wonderland, a Pal family market

open until 11:00 PM today.

How may we be of service?

- Hey mama.

- [Althea] Oh baby, don't tell me, you're not on the train?

- Nope.

- Okay.

Well, we're certainly praying.

- [Jerome] Don't you worry.

I'm sure we'll be home by dinner tomorrow.

- Good, because this is non-negotiable, young man.

- [Jerome] So I've heard.

- Alright, well you be good. Okay?

And don't be too stubborn to ask your brother

for help if you need it.

Stay safe, baby.

- You too.

Merry Christmas, mom.

- Merry Christmas son, to you and Dez.

And I'll see you soon.

(soft music)

- It feels wrong for it to be this cold without any snow.

(both chuckling)

Oh, everything feels so surreal.

- Ah, you said it.

Train trouble on Christmas Eve.

- A handsome stranger.

- Oh, hang on, I thought you said Desmond was more handsom.

- Yeah, maybe I just needed a closer look.

- Mm.

Look, I'm sorry about what I said earlier

and you having a hard time accepting this.

- No, no, you were right.

Sometimes I do feel proud

and sometimes I just, I don't know.

I just feel like I don't deserve good things.

- You do.

- So do you.

- Hmm? - I wanna show you something.

- Oh, am I about to get my present?

(Sabrina chuckles)

- A few minutes ago, I searched up the registry website.

I wanna give a kidney.

I'm gonna talk to Dr. Pierce about it

and obviously I know that

there's a lot of testing to do,

but at the very least I know that I'm your blood type.

So even if we're not exactly a match, maybe hopefully

somebody in the chain will be a good match for you.

We'll get you well.

- I don't understand.

You just met me.

- Yeah.

Look, I've been searching my whole life for something

that I can do, that I can give to this world.

I went into music

because singing was the one small free thing I could do

to make people happy, even if it was just for a moment.

But then I saw what happened to my grandma and to you

and Tom, and well, now I know that I can do so much more.

So please say yes.

- Hey, Tom.

We're finishing up a gift exchange out there.

- So?

- So Christmas isn't the time to think about all you lost.

- What do you know about it?

- Not a thing.

But listen, you don't have to tell me anything,

but whatever happened to you in your past has absolutely

nothing to do with what's going on here or now,

which in this case is a pretty great concert.

- Yeah?

- Okay, try this one.

You think something is your fault, right?

You messed up somehow, something bad went down

and you can't fix it.

Maybe it has something to do with your health.

- The doctor told me about your brother's injury.

(soft music)

- Yeah.

- He's young. You are young.

You can't understand.

I was told for years that I was going

to get kidney disease, kidney failure,

and I pretended I didn't hear, and now?

I haven't even told my ex-wife I'm sick

because she would just say, "I told you, Tom."

- What about your daughter?

- When it's too late, it's too late.

- Mm-mm, I don't believe that.

We all make mistakes,

wish we could go back, do things different.

But you're still here.

You are right here,

and there's always something else you can do.

- Oh yeah?

- Yeah.

- What can I do?

- Just pay it forward.

Help out others.

Give what you got.

I mean, hey, you're already doing that.

You didn't have to let us stay.

So come on out.

We'd love to have the pleasure of your company.

- No one's getting me anything.

- And that shows what you know.

- Okay, wow. (laughing)

- Well, we only have two gifts left.

And thank you, Jeff, for my merch, which I will wear

so proudly.

And Sabrina, that was absolutely beautiful.

- Thank you.

- We all know that's not the only gift that you got Jerome.

Now for our generous host, I understand

that Dez has something to present?

- Ahem. Yes, actually I do,

but once again,

I have completely failed at wrapping my gift.

- [All] Boo!

(group laughing)

- No, but seriously, once I heard about

what Sabrina offered to do for Jerome, I decided for sure

that I was going to move forward

with donating a kidney of my own.

So Dr. Pierce showed me

and told me about the voucher program.

So I will be designating my donation to you.

(soft music)

So now you may have a kidney and who knows?

You and me, we may even be a match.

Yeah, so I know that these things can take a while

to happen, as you all know,

but if Sabrina can help Jerome anywhere in this chain

that we're trying to start, I give you my word

that I'll do everything that I can do to help you, sir.

Merry Christmas.

(all applauding)

All right, all right, all right, all right.

Enough with that.

Now it's kind of obvious that I'm the only one who's left.

(Sabrina laughing)

Yeah, where's my gift, little bro?

(all laughing)

- Okay. Okay.

But just keep in mind,

I was up against the clock here

and hey, being drafted, it's not really my thing.

And I might have had a little bit of help.

(sighs) This, this is a very new award.

In fact, it's the first of its kind

for extraordinary heroism and sacrifice

in some of the darkest moments of our lives.

You are the best brother anybody could ask for.

And I hope you feel proud,

'cause I'm proud of you every single day.

What, do you think I'd asked you

to split up the Star Spangled Spirit?

(Sabrina chuckling)

(music continues)

- I gave it my best shot.

- Look, it's snowing. (laughing)

(warm music)

(train horn blowing) (bright music)

- Oh my gosh, I knew it.

Do I look okay?

- Look beautiful.

- Oh, I'm so nervous.

- Oh my God. I almost forgot.

- Holly berry? (laughing)

You've had it all along.

- Just long enough I guess.

(Sabrina laughing)

- Hey, we better hurry up 'cause dinner starts any mine

and our butts are on the line.

- Uh-oh!

- Oh, hang on Dez.

Alright, now you're presentable.

- Why thank you.

- Thank you for everything.

- Now, does this mean that you're

gonna use that business card?

- I guess I have to.

I mean, a knight of the Order of the Pineapple

gave it to me. (both chuckling)

(light music)

(knocking on door)

- My babies, hi honey! - Mama!

- Oh my gosh.

Mwah!

Merry Christmas baby. - Merry Christmas.

- Oh, wait a minute. Who is this?

- Mama, I would like for you to meet Sabrina Day.

- Hello, miss Sabrina Day. - Hello.

- Come over here girl, and gimme a hug.

Oh, nice to meet you. - So nice to meet you!

- Welcome. - Thank you!

- Come on in. - Thank you.

- [Woman] Oh my god!

- Look at this one. Come here, baby!

Oh, hi, son.

Merry Christmas. - Merry Christmas, mom.

- Mwah!

Come on in.

- Thanks.

- [Both] Hey!

(both laughing) (warm music)

- Hey everyone. - Hey!

- Merry Christmas! - Happy holidays!

- So sweet. - Thanks for having us.

- Here's the ham!

(family applauding)

- That looks amazing.

- How's that, how's that?

Hello, okay.

Son, would you put that down please?

Thank you.

- Mama, of course. - Let's dig in, pineapple!

(family laughing) (family chattering)

- Yes, please. Thank you very much.

(voices overlapping)

(knocking on door)

- [Desmond] Hey!

- Hot apple cider.

(Desmond laughing)

- All right.

You found the place language?

- I don't need a compass to find this place, believe me.

- (laughing) Well, welcome.

(phone ringing)

- Hello?

- [Olivia] Jerome!

- Oh, Dr. Pierce.

Dr. Pierce, what's, what's going on?

- So I spoke to your transplant team

and Sabrina and Dez need to contact them

to complete the living donor evaluation.

- [Sabrina] We'll be there tomorrow.

- (laughing) How about the 27th?

- (laughing) Right, yeah, that works too.

- And once you're both determined eligible to donate,

even if Sabrina isn't a match for Jerome,

she can still donate and he'll receive his transplant

through the voucher program.

The same goes with Dez and Tom.

It could set off a whole chain donation, which could help

who knows how many people.

I truly believe this is the greatest gift

that you could give.

- Thanks, Dr. Pierce.

- [Olivia] Of course. See you soon.

And Merry Christmas.

(soft music)

- Welcome.

- You sure I'm not intruding?

- Hey, we're all family here.

Hey everybody, it's Tom and he brought some hot cider.

Gotta try it.

(music continues)

- The greatest gift ever, huh? - Mm-hmm.

You know, I believe what you said about this lipstick,

it really is lucky.
