00:00:00Hey Harley, buy one of ours?
00:00:04I found her out near my barn. She was looking for feed.
00:00:07Sorry about that.
00:00:08Not a problem.
00:00:09I'll go get someone.
00:00:14So, how's Lucy working on this foreman?
00:00:18She's fine.
00:00:20You wanted that job, right?
00:00:21Of course, who wouldn't?
00:00:23Why do you think Tess gave her the job and not you?
00:00:25You'd have to ask Tess.
00:00:27You don't think her last name had anything to do with it?
00:00:30I'm sure it didn't hurt.
00:00:40Hey, straighten the back and we'll get back.
00:00:42You read my favorite story tonight.
00:00:44Again?
00:00:47Okay.
00:00:48Hey, it's my turn.
00:00:49No, it's mine. Everyone will get a turn.
00:00:51Hey, watch it.
00:00:52Sorry, Tess.
00:00:53Well, just watch where you're walking.
00:00:55Sorry, Mrs. Stewart.
00:00:56I want you all to be more careful, especially with that bike.
00:01:01It's okay. It's okay.
00:01:07It's not like we don't miss Grace and Chuck, too.
00:01:09I know.
00:01:18Once upon a time, there was a valiant young man who wanted to watch over a beautiful fair maiden.
00:01:24For when they met, it was love at first sight.
00:01:28The fair maiden was funny and creative and hardworking, but most of all, she had a really big heart.
00:01:36She decided to bring a child to a faraway land to be reunited with her family.
00:01:42And when the valiant man found out, he rushed over to let her know exactly how he felt about her.
00:01:50Ooh!
00:01:53After the fair maiden left, the valiant man missed her terribly.
00:01:57So, do you know what he did?
00:01:59He jumped on the boat and married her in England.
00:02:02No, that's the very end.
00:02:03He wrote to her and professed his love?
00:02:05Mm-hmm.
00:02:06Why didn't he fight any dragons?
00:02:08Well, he didn't come across any.
00:02:09Well, I think it would be more valiant if he did.
00:02:11I like dragons.
00:02:13Tomorrow, we'll read a story with dragons.
00:02:15And just love it and get to the end.
00:02:16Yeah. Who wants dragons when they can have happily ever after?
00:02:23Woo-hoo-hoo!
00:02:26Boy, oh, boy!
00:02:31Oh, boy!
00:02:34My heart is racing!
00:02:35On a better road, this car will hit 45 miles an hour.
00:02:38Forty-five!
00:02:40We'll be practically flying!
00:02:41No kidding!
00:02:42No kidding!
00:02:43Yeah, but listen, about the price.
00:02:45Can we maybe come down a little bit?
00:02:47I get it.
00:02:49You get what?
00:02:50Well, this car ain't for everyone.
00:02:52What do you mean?
00:02:53Maybe I should find you something less powerful and elegant.
00:02:55No, no, yeah, I love this car.
00:02:57I mean, the constant attention from women, the envy of other men, that's a lot to handle.
00:03:01Oh, I can handle that.
00:03:02I have another interested buyer. Maybe I should...
00:03:04No, no, no, I'll take it. I'll pay full price.
00:03:07Now, that's the attitude of a man who drives this car.
00:03:09You don't ask, you demand.
00:03:10Yeah.
00:03:11But listen, you know, mind if I take a few days?
00:03:13No, no, no, my hotel is hopping.
00:03:15I'll have the cash by Christmas.
00:03:16I'll hold it till Christmas.
00:03:17Great!
00:03:18Twenty dollars up front.
00:03:22Fine.
00:03:31Baby.
00:03:37Can't wait for Christmas to start.
00:03:39You can say that.
00:03:40What are your plans?
00:03:42Spending with family.
00:03:44How's your father?
00:03:46He's fine now.
00:03:48He gave us quite a scare.
00:03:50I look forward to spending time with him.
00:03:52How about you?
00:03:54Headed to Clearwater after work.
00:03:56I'll shop for a couple days, then go to my folks' ranch.
00:04:00Spending your foreman wages?
00:04:04Yeah.
00:04:05I guess I will be.
00:04:08Guess I will be.
00:04:14Such a good girl.
00:04:16Yeah, good girl.
00:04:21Chuck!
00:04:23What are you doing up there?
00:04:24I'm looking for my present.
00:04:26And what makes you think we'd hide it up there?
00:04:29Because it seemed like a good hiding place?
00:04:31Well, the fact you're looking there means that it's not.
00:04:34Come on down.
00:04:38Mrs. Stewart?
00:04:40The feed is on its way to the Eastern Range.
00:04:43Good.
00:04:44Tomorrow we start repairs on the fence of the Southern Range.
00:04:47But we don't have any cattle in the Southern Range.
00:04:50Not at the moment.
00:04:56I guess our Christmas break will have to wait another day.
00:05:00Come on.
00:05:08Sam!
00:05:12Can you make sure our carolers stick to the schedule?
00:05:15Schedules aren't my strong suit.
00:05:17Please?
00:05:19You sure?
00:05:20Yeah.
00:05:38Oh, excuse me, constable.
00:05:40Can you tell me how to get to New Hope Orphanage?
00:05:43I can do better. I can take you there myself.
00:05:45Are you sure?
00:05:47I'm dropping something off there. My wagon's around the back.
00:05:49Oh, thank you. This town is beautiful.
00:05:52Yeah, well, you could take this woman right here.
00:05:54I've had a lot of help.
00:05:56Maggie Parson.
00:05:57Oh, Abigail Stanton.
00:05:58Maggie!
00:05:59Oh, excuse me.
00:06:01What are you doing here?
00:06:03Wait, you're writing the article for Harper's Bazaar?
00:06:05I am.
00:06:06Did you know it was in Brookfield?
00:06:08Guilty as charged.
00:06:10Will you join me for dinner tonight?
00:06:12Of course!
00:06:15Welcome to the world, Brookfield, sir.
00:06:17How may I help you?
00:06:19I'd like a room, please.
00:06:21Certainly.
00:06:23Let's have a look.
00:06:25Well, today is your lucky day, my friend.
00:06:27I have one room left.
00:06:29What's your rate?
00:06:30Two dollars.
00:06:32A bit pricey, don't you think?
00:06:33Well, this is a first class establishment, sir.
00:06:36As a matter of fact, a magazine is doing a spread on this place.
00:06:39Really?
00:06:41Yeah, the article might include a word or two about the people in the town, but it'll mainly be about my hotel.
00:06:46That's news to me.
00:06:48Paul Franklin, Harper's Bazaar.
00:06:51Ronnie Stewart.
00:06:53Should have said something.
00:06:55Frankster.
00:06:57Well, your room, of course, is free of charge, Mr. Franklin.
00:07:00Free of charge, Mr. Franklin.
00:07:02Oh, no, no, no. I don't take free stuff.
00:07:04It compromises my journalistic integrity.
00:07:07You understand, right?
00:07:09Of course. Integrity is my little name.
00:07:12Well, there you are, sir. You have the suite, second floor, third door to your left.
00:07:23That doesn't fit.
00:07:25It almost does.
00:07:27Almost doesn't count.
00:07:29This is hard.
00:07:31When something's hard, you feel even greater accomplishment when you complete it.
00:07:36But you know what I think? I think it's time for a quickie break.
00:07:40Yes.
00:07:53Is that the new boy?
00:07:55I believe so.
00:07:56Why couldn't it have been a girl?
00:07:59Let's go say hello.
00:08:02Thank you, Constable.
00:08:10Abigail.
00:08:12Lillian.
00:08:14It's so nice to see you.
00:08:16You remember my son, Cody?
00:08:18Of course. Well, you have grown.
00:08:20And you must be Roy.
00:08:22Roy's not a big talker.
00:08:23Hey, nice to meet you, Roy.
00:08:26Come here.
00:08:33You want us to show you your room?
00:08:35Oh, that's a great idea.
00:08:37Come on, guys.
00:08:39Come on, Roy.
00:08:42Roy, I'm Vincent. It's right through here.
00:08:46You'll be sleeping in my bunk, but I get the top.
00:08:49Miss Lillian decides who sleeps where.
00:08:50Just so you know, no one likes Virginia except me.
00:08:54No one likes milking cows, Mary Louise.
00:08:56We also have a bike, if you know how to ride.
00:09:00Thank you for the tree, Gabriel. It's beautiful.
00:09:02Where would you like it?
00:09:04Just in the living room. I'll move the smaller one into the dining room.
00:09:07Cody, can you help Mountie Gabriel?
00:09:09Sure.
00:09:11This one used to be Christian's.
00:09:13And this one was Fred's.
00:09:15They were adopted.
00:09:17They were really nice.
00:09:19We write to each other.
00:09:21This isn't like the other places.
00:09:23It's better.
00:09:25But we are expected to do chores.
00:09:29So Grace is married and living in London?
00:09:32Mm-hmm.
00:09:34So Grace is married and living in London?
00:09:36Mm-hmm.
00:09:37So Grace is married and living in London?
00:09:39Mm-hmm.
00:09:41She is doing so well. But how about you?
00:09:43Rosemary told me you were taking care of your mother.
00:09:45Oh, yes. She was quite ill, but thank God she's okay now.
00:09:49Good. And so how do you know Roy?
00:09:52I knew of Roy through my cousin who runs a big orphanage near my mother.
00:09:57Roy's been to three different orphanages and he just, he just hasn't done well.
00:10:04Roy's father died in a traffic accident four years ago.
00:10:09And his mother and unborn sister died during childbirth shortly after that.
00:10:14Oh, that poor boy.
00:10:16My cousin has tried to get him to open up, but he just won't.
00:10:19And she would have kept trying, but I seem to remember that you really connected with your children.
00:10:27So I thought it was worth a shot.
00:10:30Yeah, of course.
00:10:32We finished setting up the tree.
00:10:34Oh, thank you. Constable, would you mind giving us a ride back into town? We need to get a room.
00:10:39Oh no, you'll be staying with us.
00:10:41The hotel's probably booked anyway.
00:10:43That's very kind of you, Lillian.
00:10:45It's my pleasure.
00:10:51You're welcome.
00:11:02You're really good at this.
00:11:04It takes patience.
00:11:06Girls.
00:11:08I'm so close to finishing.
00:11:10Well, then you can finish tomorrow.
00:11:14It's time for bed.
00:11:32Goodnight.
00:11:35Are you sleeping with your eyes open?
00:11:38He's awake, Theo.
00:11:40He just doesn't like to talk.
00:11:42Why?
00:11:44It's bedtime.
00:11:46Goodnight.
00:11:48Goodnight, Miss Lillian.
00:11:50Goodnight.
00:11:52Goodnight.
00:11:54Goodnight.
00:11:56Goodnight.
00:11:58Goodnight.
00:11:59Goodnight.
00:12:09Hey, Roy.
00:12:12I know you've had a hard time at your other orphanages, but I really hope it's going to be different for you here.
00:12:19I'm going to take care of you.
00:12:22Everything's going to be okay.
00:12:29Goodnight.
00:12:37Goodnight.
00:12:42You go to bed.
00:13:00And then, when my editor said he wanted a country Christmas article, I suggested Brookfield.
00:13:06Well, thank you for that.
00:13:08So, how long have you been at Harper's Bazaar?
00:13:11A year, yeah.
00:13:13They said they wanted another travel writer, so I just sold them on that detention.
00:13:16And? You miss being a beat reporter?
00:13:19You kidding?
00:13:21Hearing you talk about your travels inspired me to seek more than a headline.
00:13:25I couldn't be happier.
00:13:27Oh, good.
00:13:29So, what about you?
00:13:31You said you wanted to experience the great Northwest. I thought you were talking about a few weeks.
00:13:37Here you are, over a year later.
00:13:39Well, I run the family.
00:13:41Moved out with great flair.
00:13:44Well, I suppose I've taken to the town.
00:13:48And the town to me.
00:13:50That's great.
00:13:52I just want to capture the magic of this place.
00:13:55Well, I have no doubt you will.
00:14:00Come on.
00:14:08Rise and shine.
00:14:12No!
00:14:17I was so close!
00:14:20It's all gone! It's all gone!
00:14:23Nora!
00:14:25What happened?
00:14:27Where's Roy?
00:14:30Roy!
00:14:40This is highly unusual.
00:14:43Oh, it's fine. I can get by with the other two drawers.
00:14:52One drawer may be problematic.
00:14:55Is this going to go into your article?
00:14:58I can't really say.
00:15:00I'll tell you what. I will get you a brand new dresser.
00:15:02You sure?
00:15:03Not a problem. This is a first class establishment.
00:15:06I remember you saying that.
00:15:09Why don't I take that?
00:15:14So, how are things with you and Lillian going?
00:15:17Fine. Why?
00:15:19I seem to recall the two of you are almost an item.
00:15:23Well, we're just good friends.
00:15:25My wife, when she was alive, was my best friend.
00:15:31Sometimes we have a point here, Joe.
00:15:33No, I'm just regaling in my greatest accomplishment.
00:15:40Remind me again. What's the Mountie motto?
00:15:43Uphold the right.
00:15:45Uphold the right.
00:15:47What could be more right than winning the heart of the woman of your dreams?
00:15:56Auntie Kinzel, Roy is gone.
00:16:04Hey, Lucy.
00:16:08I rode the entire Southern Range and...
00:16:11You know, I saw you did a lot.
00:16:13I pushed them hard.
00:16:15That's just what I want from my foreman.
00:16:17We'll finish the rest right after Christmas.
00:16:20Can't stop now.
00:16:21What do you mean?
00:16:22We need all that fencing repaired before we get the herd in.
00:16:25That'll take a week.
00:16:27Maybe less. Rate your moving?
00:16:29That means working through Christmas.
00:16:31There's scrub on that range. We get the herd in, I save on supplemental feeds.
00:16:34Yeah, we were all looking forward to spending Christmas with our families.
00:16:38I don't want to disappoint them.
00:16:40My cattle were looking forward to eating. I don't want to disappoint them.
00:16:43I understand that, but...
00:16:45Listen, it's been a mild winter. I need to take advantage of that.
00:16:48I get it, it's just...
00:16:53Is there any way I can get the time off?
00:16:56Sure there is.
00:16:58You can quit.
00:17:04Then I quit.
00:17:06Wait, hold on a sec.
00:17:08Can we talk?
00:17:10Hank almost lost his father this year.
00:17:12He was looking forward to the time with him.
00:17:14Yeah, I was going to give him the time off after we get the herd in.
00:17:17With all due respect...
00:17:19You're not being fair.
00:17:21With all due respect, my ranch, my rules.
00:17:26Well, if he quits...
00:17:29I quit.
00:17:33Come on, let's go.
00:17:35Where?
00:17:37Wherever we please. We're no longer employees of the Stuart Ranch.
00:17:40Anyone else?
00:17:42Anyone else not want to work?
00:17:44Feel free to join them.
00:17:48I need the work, ma'am.
00:17:52I'll see you tomorrow, Pete.
00:17:56Roy!
00:18:04Roy!
00:18:06I moved here when I bought the bakery from my Aunt Pearl about six months ago.
00:18:10And how did you like it?
00:18:12I love it. Everyone in the town has welcomed me with open arms.
00:18:15Well, maybe the best way to a town's heart is to it's sweet tooth.
00:18:18Do you mind if I take your photograph?
00:18:20Sure.
00:18:56Ooh!
00:19:00Ben!
00:19:02Did you happen to be selling a dresser?
00:19:04Yeah, we are.
00:19:07My son's been taking piano lessons.
00:19:09And he's really good.
00:19:11So the missus and I would like to buy him a used piano for Christmas.
00:19:14We figured if we sold some furniture...
00:19:16Yeah, good plan, good plan.
00:19:18How about the dresser?
00:19:20It's at my house.
00:19:22Perfect. I'll swing by.
00:19:23All right.
00:19:25Gabriel! Over here!
00:19:30There's a path just through there.
00:19:43Good to see you.
00:19:54Boy!
00:19:56It's okay, it's okay.
00:19:58Let me go!
00:20:00I'm not going anywhere. I'm not giving up on you.
00:20:02Okay?
00:20:04It's okay.
00:20:13Whoa!
00:20:15Hey, Ronnie.
00:20:17Ben, how are you?
00:20:19I'm fine.
00:20:20Good girl.
00:20:21Hey, Ronnie.
00:20:22Ben, how are you?
00:20:23Good.
00:20:25You still have that dresser, I hope?
00:20:26Oh, yes.
00:20:28Come on in.
00:20:29Much obliged.
00:20:31Oh, nice.
00:20:36There it is.
00:20:37I brought it downstairs.
00:20:38Oh, thank you, Ben.
00:20:40Let's have a boo, shall we?
00:20:43It's been in my wife's family for a couple of generations.
00:20:46Oh.
00:20:47Well, it's pretty old then, I guess.
00:20:48Oh, look at the craftsmanship, though.
00:20:50There's quite an ink right there.
00:20:52First time Timmy threw a ball.
00:20:54Turns out he can throw better than I can catch.
00:20:57The missus wasn't very happy.
00:20:59Uh, two dollars.
00:21:02Well, we'd need four more dollars for the used piano, so...
00:21:05That's too steep for this old piece, Ben.
00:21:08What else are you selling?
00:21:10Well, um...
00:21:12We're a little reluctant to sell much more of our stuff.
00:21:15Hmm.
00:21:16Hmm.
00:21:18Do you, uh...
00:21:19Say, Timmy really has his heart set on that piano for Christmas, huh?
00:21:24He plays like an angel.
00:21:25Yeah.
00:21:26Sounds like a prodigy.
00:21:32Dashing through the snow
00:21:34In a one-horse open sleigh
00:21:36O'er the fields we go
00:21:38Laughing all the way
00:21:40Ho, ho, ho
00:21:41O'er the fields we...
00:21:42Whoa, whoa, whoa!
00:21:43Ho, ho!
00:21:44Hold on there, girl.
00:21:45What the...
00:21:47Oh, for the love of Pete.
00:21:49Hang on there, sweetheart.
00:21:50Oh!
00:21:55Easy, girl.
00:21:56Easy, girl.
00:21:58That's a good girl.
00:22:01Oh, great.
00:22:03All right, this is gonna take some time, sweetheart.
00:22:05All right.
00:22:06That's a girl.
00:22:07That's a girl.
00:22:10Come on.
00:22:12Oh, yeah.
00:22:14I know what you need.
00:22:23What is that?
00:22:24That a girl.
00:22:27Ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho!
00:22:29What have we got here?
00:22:35Ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho!
00:22:38Well, would you look at that.
00:22:41So, you gonna keep me company?
00:22:44When did you meet Miss Lillian?
00:22:46When she was in Hope Valley with her sister.
00:22:48They were on their way to start your orphanage.
00:22:50Think we got enough walnuts?
00:22:52We got enough for ten pies.
00:22:54I love pies.
00:22:55Who doesn't?
00:22:56We gotta stop at the general store.
00:23:07Look.
00:23:08Reindeer.
00:23:10Wow.
00:23:13Not just any reindeer.
00:23:16What do you mean?
00:23:17Dasher, Dancer, Prancer, Vixen, Comet, Cupid, Dunner, Vixens.
00:23:26Hi, guys.
00:23:28Mr. Stewart is Santa Claus.
00:23:33Santa Claus?
00:23:35What are you guys doing over there?
00:23:37Don't say anything.
00:23:46Violet!
00:23:58Are you okay?
00:24:01I've never had a child run away before.
00:24:04My cousin told me that Roy has run away from every orphanage he's been at.
00:24:08I want this place to be different than all the others.
00:24:12Lillian, it is.
00:24:15Theo wants Lincoln Locks, not clothes.
00:24:19All these kids deserve to have their Christmas wishes come true.
00:24:23Lillian, they're in a loving home.
00:24:27That is your gift to them.
00:24:30I know.
00:24:31I don't know.
00:24:33I started this orphanage with Grace.
00:24:36Sometimes I wonder if I can do it alone.
00:24:39Are you alone?
00:24:44I do have some wonderful friends.
00:24:46Well, wonderful friends is a good place to start.
00:24:50Whoa, look at the selection.
00:24:52Did you make all of this?
00:24:53Most, but not all.
00:24:54Some were donated by townsfolk to the festival.
00:24:57So what have we got?
00:24:58Well, we have date cookies, pound cake, cinnamon muffins.
00:25:02All right.
00:25:03I'm allergic to cinnamon.
00:25:05Good to know.
00:25:06We'll want to avoid those.
00:25:07Yeah.
00:25:08Hungarian cookies.
00:25:09I'm allergic to cinnamon.
00:25:10I'm allergic to cinnamon.
00:25:11I'm allergic to cinnamon.
00:25:12I'm allergic to cinnamon.
00:25:13I'm allergic to cinnamon.
00:25:14I'm allergic to cinnamon.
00:25:15I'm allergic to cinnamon.
00:25:16I'm allergic to cinnamon.
00:25:17We'll want to avoid those.
00:25:18Yeah.
00:25:19Hungarian Christmas cookies, cashew brittle.
00:25:21Yeah, I'm going to go with some of the cookies.
00:25:23Okay.
00:25:26Are you ready for your big performance in a few days?
00:25:28Are you kidding?
00:25:29I was born to play Santa.
00:25:31Good.
00:25:34Thanks.
00:25:48Christmas in Vienna.
00:25:50Written by Maggie Parsons.
00:25:53The lights on the Kravan and the Katnissstrasse.
00:25:56As eloquently detailed in your article.
00:26:00Springtime in Paris.
00:26:02Written by Maggie Parsons.
00:26:04Well, that practically wrote itself.
00:26:07My summer in Siam.
00:26:09I wrote an elephant.
00:26:10I know.
00:26:11Because I love elephants.
00:26:13My summer in Siam.
00:26:14I wrote an elephant.
00:26:16I know.
00:26:17Because I read it.
00:26:18You also know I dabbled in travel writing to help cover my expenses.
00:26:22Well, your enthusiasm for new places is contagious.
00:26:27Got me on my new career path.
00:26:31Why?
00:26:33To help you remember what brought you here.
00:26:36Doesn't at least part of you miss the adventure?
00:26:44What did your mom say we need again?
00:26:46Flour and sugar.
00:26:55Violet?
00:26:58Come on.
00:27:03Wow, I just can't believe that she would say that.
00:27:06So what, you just decided to quit?
00:27:08Yeah.
00:27:09I gave my ranch hands Christmas off.
00:27:11Wow.
00:27:13Tess obviously feels different.
00:27:30Whoa.
00:27:32There's a good girl.
00:27:40It's Santa.
00:27:55Oh, Franklin.
00:27:56There you are, sir.
00:27:57Here, get your new dresser right here, sir.
00:27:59Are you sure it's new?
00:28:00Even better. It's an antique.
00:28:02Like I said, I run...
00:28:03I know. You run a first class establishment.
00:28:05Absolutely.
00:28:07Thank you for this tree, Mountie Gabriel.
00:28:10It's my pleasure.
00:28:11Mountie Gabriel is a good friend.
00:28:14In Hope Valley, I knew some Mounties.
00:28:16They were all good men.
00:28:17Nathan Grant has been to Brookfield a few times,
00:28:20and has served under Jack Thornton in the Northern Territories.
00:28:23Really?
00:28:24He was a good man.
00:28:26Yes, he was.
00:28:36That trains it.
00:28:38Wow, that's...
00:28:42That's maybe a bit pricey for Santa.
00:28:46I want a Raggedy Ann doll.
00:28:48You know what I think?
00:28:50I think we should be grateful for whatever Santa brings us.
00:28:57Oh, look who's here.
00:28:59Hide your puzzle, Nora.
00:29:00Vincent.
00:29:06Hey, I need all you kids to make an effort to help Roy feel welcome here.
00:29:11Okay, we'll try.
00:29:14You know what I always say?
00:29:15Actions speak louder than words.
00:29:26Can I have a word with him?
00:29:28Sure.
00:29:34What?
00:29:35Oh, I know that look.
00:29:37What does that mean?
00:29:39What is it about young women and Mounties?
00:29:54What are we gonna do?
00:29:57You're not gonna find a better place than this.
00:30:01Are you an expert on orphanages?
00:30:03No.
00:30:05But my job is to know people.
00:30:08And Miss Lillian is as good as it gets.
00:30:13She wants the best for you, Roy.
00:30:16I don't care.
00:30:17You should.
00:30:20But now...
00:30:24You've made a mess of it with the other kids.
00:30:27It's gonna be on you to make amends.
00:30:35What makes you happy, Roy?
00:30:38I don't think it's running away.
00:30:47Okay, I'll leave you alone.
00:30:51I remember me and my dad playing catch.
00:30:57That made me happy.
00:30:59Yeah.
00:31:02Who doesn't love playing catch with their dad?
00:31:06Yeah.
00:31:19Okay.
00:31:20How can I help?
00:31:21Oh, I think we have this covered.
00:31:24The bone are gone, the extra hands, sure. Big help.
00:31:27If you need even more help, I hear Lucy Clay is looking for work.
00:31:31Oh, well, she's Tessa's foreman.
00:31:33So?
00:31:34Not anymore.
00:31:36Well, what happened?
00:32:04Careful.
00:32:19Tess?
00:32:20Oh, what the...
00:32:23What are you doing here?
00:32:25Is it true you're making your ranch hands work through Christmas?
00:32:27It's a free country. I'm not making anybody do anything.
00:32:31Now, how's this any of your business?
00:32:32Oh, it's a small town, and what you do affects everyone.
00:32:36Besides, we're practically family, so I was actually hoping to invite you...
00:32:41Yeah, no, we are not family.
00:32:43And after what you did, we never will be.
00:32:47What did I do?
00:32:48That's what you didn't do.
00:32:49You didn't convince Grace to come home.
00:32:52My son's gotta go chasing after her.
00:32:55Like you said, it's a free country.
00:32:57It's the first Christmas. First one.
00:32:59I won't be spending with him.
00:33:00Even when he was at veterinary college,
00:33:03he'd come home every year for the holiday.
00:33:07We only ever had one.
00:33:09One what?
00:33:11Christmas.
00:33:14Since I was seven, I've had exactly one Christmas with Grace.
00:33:22Then why didn't you convince her to come back?
00:33:24Because that's not what she wants.
00:33:25She's young. She doesn't know what she wants.
00:33:28She deserves to find happiness.
00:33:32Doesn't Chuck?
00:33:37I got a fence to repair.
00:33:51Maggie!
00:33:53You look happy.
00:33:54I just got my next two assignments.
00:33:56Okay.
00:33:57Times Square on New Year's Eve.
00:33:59Ooh, sounds like fun.
00:34:00Carnaval in Rio de Janeiro.
00:34:02Even more fun.
00:34:04That's not the best part.
00:34:06Before I left, I showed your Christmas in Vienna article to my editor.
00:34:10Why?
00:34:11Because they're looking for another travel writer.
00:34:14And I just got a telegram saying they want to hire you.
00:34:17Really?
00:34:18And the Carnaval assignment isn't just an article.
00:34:20There's a whole special edition devoted to it.
00:34:23They're gonna need two writers.
00:34:24You would be coming with me to Rio.
00:34:27But I'm the nurse here.
00:34:29They can get another nurse.
00:34:31This magazine is offering to pay you to do what you love most.
00:34:35And the way that you absorb places and experiences...
00:34:39It's a gift.
00:34:42I have to admit, it sounds fun.
00:34:44Yes.
00:34:45Let me give it some thought.
00:34:46What's there to think about?
00:34:48Okay, okay.
00:34:50But...
00:34:54Hold on to it.
00:34:56Just think of the possibilities.
00:35:07Hello.
00:35:13Hello.
00:35:14Hello.
00:35:24Can I help you?
00:35:25Oh, yes.
00:35:26I need to mail this letter.
00:35:28Yes, I'm delivering telegrams now, but I'll be sure it's sent out.
00:35:32It's important.
00:35:34Please be careful with it.
00:35:36I promise you.
00:35:38This will get to Henry Gallen.
00:35:45Excuse me.
00:35:54You want help with the puzzle?
00:35:55I'm busy right now.
00:35:57Doing what?
00:35:58Writing to Santa.
00:35:59Isn't it a little too late to be mailing letters to the North Pole?
00:36:02He's not there right now.
00:36:04Then where is he?
00:36:05Right here in Brookfield.
00:36:06Tell them.
00:36:07You're not positive.
00:36:09I am.
00:36:10It's Mr. Stewart.
00:36:11Mr. Stewart?
00:36:13We saw him with his reindeers in his wagon.
00:36:15Have you seen his white beard?
00:36:17Are you sure it's him?
00:36:18I can feel it in my bones.
00:36:22Dear Santa, please get me a radio flyer wagon.
00:36:26I haven't been good all year.
00:36:28Well...
00:36:30Most of the year.
00:36:31Do you have more paper?
00:36:33Come on.
00:36:34What, can it hurt?
00:36:37Easy.
00:36:38It's the people.
00:36:39The people here stick together.
00:36:41Never was that more true than when my first store burned down.
00:36:44Have you ever been outside of the territory?
00:36:47No, I was born and raised in Spring Hill, about 70 miles south of here.
00:36:51It was as far as I got.
00:36:53Pardon me, boys.
00:36:54Joe, I just want to be sure your Santa suit has arrived.
00:36:59It hasn't.
00:37:01Bother.
00:37:04Sam?
00:37:05Yeah?
00:37:06Sam?
00:37:07Yeah?
00:37:08Our Santa suit is still in clear water.
00:37:12Do you want me to pick it up?
00:37:13That would be fabulous.
00:37:15I'll take over the carolers.
00:37:17Sure.
00:37:19Yeah.
00:37:27Hello.
00:37:28Can you and the kids come out and play?
00:37:31Sure.
00:37:32Kids!
00:37:33So the game is called football.
00:37:36It's played in colleges around the country.
00:37:37There's even talk of starting a professional league next year.
00:37:40What's a professional league?
00:37:42It means people are paid to play.
00:37:44Are we going to be paid right now?
00:37:47No, this is just for fun.
00:37:49Aw, I want to be paid.
00:37:53So we'll divide into two teams, and the idea is to score as many touchdowns as possible.
00:37:58So I'll be one team captain, but we will need another.
00:38:03Well, we need someone who has a burning desire to win, but who won't cry if they lose.
00:38:10And a natural leader of young men and women who has a history of starting something from nothing.
00:38:17And someone who does not expect to be paid.
00:38:27Hey look, we have a volunteer.
00:38:34Oh, hey.
00:38:38Is that for your family get-together?
00:38:41We were planning a big Christmas meal.
00:38:43What about you? I thought you were headed to Clearwater.
00:38:47My, uh, my plans changed.
00:38:50Don't have those foreign wages anymore.
00:38:53Something like that.
00:38:56Uh, I'll see you around.
00:38:59Hey Lucy.
00:39:00Hey Lucy.
00:39:04You didn't have to quit.
00:39:06It was the right thing to do.
00:39:09I'm not sure I would have stuck my neck out that way.
00:39:13I guess that's what makes you a great woman.
00:39:19Thanks.
00:39:20Yeah!
00:39:29Yeah!
00:39:35Come here!
00:39:45Yes!
00:39:46Yeah!
00:39:50Pass it! Pass it!
00:39:52Yes! Woo!
00:39:56Next touchdown wins, so we need to stop them here, okay?
00:39:58Okay.
00:40:00You know I'm going to intercept this, right?
00:40:02Oh, big talk from a man who's about to lose a game.
00:40:04Oh, bigger talk from a woman who just learned to play.
00:40:06So imagine your embarrassment when we win.
00:40:09Okay.
00:40:11You got this.
00:40:12Don't cry when we win.
00:40:17You got this.
00:40:18Yeah!
00:40:19Stop!
00:40:21I got it! I got it!
00:40:23Touchdown! Yeah!
00:40:25How do you feel? Are you okay?
00:40:27I'm, uh...
00:40:29Fantastic!
00:40:32Very funny!
00:40:35Guess that was all talk.
00:40:36Actions speak louder than words.
00:40:38Will you come play with us again, Mountie Kinslow?
00:40:40I hope. Miss Lillian gives me a rematch.
00:40:43I suppose it could be arranged.
00:40:45Well, until then.
00:40:47Have fun.
00:40:49Bye, guys.
00:40:50Bye!
00:41:03She's gone for the night.
00:41:05But I'm sure she mailed your letter.
00:41:07Oh, good evening, Constable.
00:41:10The children really loved playing football with you.
00:41:14Actually, I'm more into baseball, remember?
00:41:19Jack!
00:41:22I've missed you.
00:41:25Oh, Jack!
00:41:29I've missed you, too.
00:41:32But I don't understand.
00:41:35Well, let me surprise you.
00:41:37But neither do I.
00:41:40It's a beautiful town.
00:41:42Oh, yeah. Yes.
00:41:44Yes, it is.
00:41:46Where another Mountie loves a good woman.
00:41:50Oh. Bears and deers are all about.
00:41:54That's good.
00:41:56Abigail.
00:41:58Can you get a message to Elizabeth for me?
00:42:01Of course.
00:42:03You let her know that I'm happy she's moving on with her life.
00:42:08I let her know she's doing a fine job with little Jack,
00:42:11and I could not be prouder of both of them.
00:42:13Oh, Jack.
00:42:15There's so much she wants to tell you.
00:42:20And one more thing.
00:42:24You tell her that true love never dies.
00:42:29I know that now more than ever.
00:42:36Wait!
00:42:44Goodbye, Abigail.
00:42:51It's a beautiful town.
00:43:02Jack!
00:43:14Jack.
00:43:30I was brought here when I was eight.
00:43:32And how much has changed since then?
00:43:34Oh, a lot. I never would have imagined a festival like this then.
00:43:38And what do you like best about Brookfield?
00:43:41We look out for each other.
00:43:43I've heard of that.
00:43:45Yeah. And no one looks out for us better than our nurse.
00:43:48Don't be silly.
00:43:50And she gives us treats whenever we don't feel good.
00:43:53I always get them to the infirmary.
00:43:55Looks like you got a flawless operation going on.
00:43:58Not exactly.
00:44:01My throat's not feeling so good.
00:44:08Nice drawing.
00:44:10See what I mean?
00:44:11Can you get the girls? We should head home soon.
00:44:14All right.
00:44:16Mayor Louise, come on!
00:44:22Look, he even has a sign.
00:44:27If he's Santa, then why has he been here all year?
00:44:30I don't have all the answers. I'm just a kid.
00:44:33Who's taking care of the North Pole?
00:44:35Ever heard of Alice?
00:44:37You really think he's Santa?
00:44:39Yeah.
00:44:41Where are you going?
00:44:47So this speedster, Harley, has 20 horsepower.
00:44:51Is that, like, 20 horses pulling at the same time?
00:44:54Yeah, he practically flies.
00:44:57Fastest car I've ever seen.
00:45:01I would like to ride the Ann doll.
00:45:03Oh, really? How nice for you.
00:45:06For Christmas.
00:45:09What's going on?
00:45:11She's talking to Santa.
00:45:13Well, perhaps you better let Miss Lillian know.
00:45:18What was that about?
00:45:20Who knows? Kid's wanting thing.
00:45:23What did he say?
00:45:25He said I should tell Miss Lillian what I want for Christmas.
00:45:28Of course he's gonna say that.
00:45:33Anyway, I get this speedster on Christmas.
00:45:36Good for you.
00:45:38Nice talking to you.
00:45:40You will never guess what I'm getting for Christmas.
00:45:45Hi, Joe.
00:45:47Abigail.
00:45:49I'd like to get a ham.
00:45:51I think I have one on ice upstairs.
00:45:53Oh, thank you.
00:45:55One second.
00:45:57Maybe you can help me, Abigail.
00:45:59I could try.
00:46:01What's the best gift to give a friend for Christmas?
00:46:03This perfume, this rolling pin, or this scarf?
00:46:05Well, let's review our options.
00:46:10You would not be a friend of Lillian's if you gave her this.
00:46:13How did you know it was for Lillian?
00:46:15Lucky guess.
00:46:17Now, general rule of thumb.
00:46:19Never give a woman a household of plans for Christmas.
00:46:22God.
00:46:24Now, this is very nice.
00:46:26It says, I like being your friend.
00:46:29Is that the message you wanted to send?
00:46:34Not exactly.
00:46:39Why don't you just speak to her from your heart?
00:46:43That's a gift that could keep on giving.
00:46:48One ham.
00:46:50Thank you, Joe.
00:46:55And then this piece, it's red, not your standard black.
00:46:59I've never seen a red car.
00:47:02What is this?
00:47:04Letters to Santa?
00:47:07Lincoln Logs, Radio Flyer Wagon, Raggedy Ann Doll, Train Set, Puzzles.
00:47:15How did these get up here?
00:47:17I have no idea.
00:47:19Anyhow, did this car?
00:47:21You should see this thing.
00:47:37Think Dad will be surprised?
00:47:39About what?
00:47:41That I helped chop down the Christmas tree this year.
00:47:43I love my life, Mom.
00:47:46That's good.
00:47:48I never want to leave here.
00:47:50You won't always feel that way.
00:47:52Why do you say that?
00:47:54Because boys become men and they leave.
00:47:56You won't make me, will you?
00:47:59Can't I stay at the ranch?
00:48:01Of course you can.
00:48:03But, it's my job.
00:48:04To teach you how to be strong and independent.
00:48:07Like a mama bear teaching her cub how to survive in the wild.
00:48:26What is Grace doing in London with her new husband?
00:48:29She started her own orphanage.
00:48:31You're kidding.
00:48:32Yeah, I located the grandfather of one of the children.
00:48:35He was in England.
00:48:37And after Grace arrived with his granddaughter,
00:48:39he took it as a sign that he should help other orphans.
00:48:42So, he's Grace's benefactor.
00:48:44Oh, that's wonderful.
00:48:46Yeah.
00:48:48I scraped my knee.
00:48:50Uh-oh. Let's have a look.
00:48:52There we go.
00:48:54Which knee is it?
00:48:56This one.
00:48:58Oh, yes.
00:49:02There we go.
00:49:04Ow, ow, ow!
00:49:08And I always have one of these handy.
00:49:14All done.
00:49:16Do you think Miss Maggie should look at it?
00:49:19I guess it wouldn't hurt.
00:49:21But I promise you, everything will be okay.
00:49:23Why do you always say that?
00:49:26What do you mean?
00:49:28She always says that everything's gonna be okay.
00:49:30That's not true!
00:49:32It's a lie!
00:49:34Why is that a lie?
00:49:36That's the last thing my mom told me before she died!
00:49:41I'll talk to him.
00:50:03Roy.
00:50:05Everyone here knows the pain of losing someone dear to them.
00:50:10That they have to die.
00:50:14I don't know.
00:50:16Then how can Miss Lillian say that everything's gonna be okay?
00:50:21Because believing that is what sees us through the tough times.
00:50:27It's called faith.
00:50:29And faith can bring peace.
00:50:32Which can lead to joy.
00:50:34Don't you think your parents would want you to feel joy again?
00:50:51Sam?
00:50:53Minor emergency. Ben is running low on peanuts.
00:50:56We got our supply from Harley.
00:50:58Do you want me to head out to his ranch?
00:51:00Would you be so kind? We just need them by tomorrow.
00:51:02Okay.
00:51:07Howdy ho.
00:51:09Mr. Stewart.
00:51:11So how's your dresser?
00:51:13The drawers work.
00:51:15Good, good, good. Nothing like working drawers to enhance your travel experience, I always say.
00:51:19So I hear you're interviewing people about your order?
00:51:22That's right. To add some town flavor.
00:51:25Well, no doubt you'll want to talk to me.
00:51:27Maybe. We'll see.
00:51:33So sorry to keep you waiting.
00:51:36Wow.
00:51:38What hails you, my friend?
00:51:40Eos gripped his knee.
00:51:42Well, let's take a look at it then, shall we?
00:51:51Maggie, you wrote these?
00:51:53Seems like ages ago.
00:51:56You're really good.
00:51:59I love setting on new adventures.
00:52:04In fact, an opportunity has presented itself for me to do it full time.
00:52:09That sounds exciting.
00:52:11It is.
00:52:13Though it does get a tad lonely sometimes.
00:52:17This looks absolutely fine to me.
00:52:21Please tell Miss Lillian she did an excellent job of cleaning your room.
00:52:24Does that mean I don't get a chance to clean your room?
00:52:26Oh, that depends.
00:52:28Were you a brave boy?
00:52:30He certainly was.
00:52:32Then that settles it.
00:52:40Thank you, Maggie.
00:52:42My pleasure.
00:52:49In my hometown, we were always there for each other.
00:52:52Through joy and in grief.
00:52:56What I learned is there's no journey like a shared one.
00:53:09I hate to say it, but I don't see Roy fitting in.
00:53:12Well, we have to make sure that he does.
00:53:14But he's not being nice.
00:53:16Well, he's very sad.
00:53:18We've all had sad things happen to us.
00:53:19It's true.
00:53:21But the same thing could happen to you and me, and we could have very different reactions.
00:53:26You know what we could all do?
00:53:28What?
00:53:30We can remember a person who made our life better, and then we can be like that person for Roy.
00:53:34How does that sound?
00:53:37All right, bring those sheets over, girls.
00:53:39Who's the kid?
00:53:41He's my son, Mrs. Stewart.
00:53:43What's he doing here?
00:53:45Well, he wanted to spend the holidays with me, and I figured this was the only way.
00:53:49But he's a real hard worker, and he's not asking for anything in return.
00:53:54He just wants to be with me.
00:53:56He's not asking for anything in return.
00:53:58He just wants to be with me.
00:54:00He's not asking for anything in return.
00:54:02He just wants to be with me.
00:54:04He's not asking for anything in return.
00:54:05And he's not asking for any pay.
00:54:13Go home.
00:54:15Look, I really need this job. Please don't fire me.
00:54:21I said go home.
00:54:36Do you want to help?
00:54:38You should try it. It's fun.
00:55:06Um, have you ever done a puzzle before?
00:55:19Like that?
00:55:35I forgive you, Roy.
00:55:40I like horses.
00:55:42So do I.
00:55:44My dad promised me a pony for Christmas.
00:55:48But then he died.
00:55:50I'm sorry.
00:55:54You should wish for a pony this year.
00:55:57Wishing for something, don't make it happen.
00:56:00I'm getting a red wagon, and Mary Louise is getting a Raggedy Ann doll.
00:56:06Are you sure you haven't done this before?
00:56:16Are you sure you haven't done this before?
00:56:21Let's try another one.
00:56:26Lucy.
00:56:28Can we talk?
00:56:30I'm scheduled to be one of the carolers right now.
00:56:33This will just take a minute.
00:56:35What is it?
00:56:37I gave everyone the rest of the week off.
00:56:40That was nice of you.
00:56:42It was barely decent. And I gave Hank his job back.
00:56:46He's a hard worker.
00:56:48He is.
00:56:50And you are the best foreman I have ever had.
00:56:53I need you both.
00:56:55So what do you say?
00:57:00I, um...
00:57:02I'll try to be a better boss.
00:57:31Merry Christmas Eve.
00:57:33Hey, Merry Christmas Eve. You seem extra happy today.
00:57:36We just got my son's piano. He's going to be thrilled.
00:57:40Yes, he will be.
00:57:42Hey Debbie.
00:57:43Hey.
00:57:44What do you have?
00:57:45Lots of new selections.
00:57:48Wow, looks good. What's that?
00:57:50It's called a canal custard tart.
00:57:52Canal custard.
00:57:54I'll take one of those.
00:57:55Okay.
00:58:09Oh, that's delicious.
00:58:11There's a spice. Is that cinnamon?
00:58:13I don't know. It was donated this morning by Mrs. Dubois.
00:58:18Probably not cinnamon.
00:58:21Enjoy.
00:58:25Time to wake up.
00:58:32Oh.
00:58:36Roy?
00:58:55He almost finished it.
00:58:57Yeah, must have been working all night.
00:58:59All right.
00:59:01Let's go back upstairs.
00:59:03Come on.
00:59:18Sam!
00:59:19Oh, hey. I got the peanuts for Harley.
00:59:21Wasn't easy. He wanted them all for himself.
00:59:23Thank you for that. I'll take them to Ben.
00:59:24I can do it.
00:59:25No, thanks.
00:59:26Okay.
00:59:29Oh, it's been a long time since I've cooked for this many people.
00:59:33Well, it sure looks like you haven't lost your touch.
00:59:46Oops.
00:59:48Roy's awake.
00:59:54Morning, sleepyhead.
00:59:55We heard you had a busy night.
00:59:58It's finished.
01:00:00Almost. We saved the last piece for you.
01:00:05It's your puzzle.
01:00:07You set up the honors.
01:00:14Oh.
01:00:15Yeah, it's beautiful.
01:00:17Bravo.
01:00:20Why is Mrs. Stewart coming?
01:00:21Why is Mrs. Stewart coming?
01:00:25Whoa.
01:00:31Tess, what can we do for you?
01:00:33Yeah, I, uh, I want to drop something off.
01:00:39For the orphanage.
01:00:41Want to give me a hand here, boy?
01:00:43Yeah.
01:00:45It's, um, it's old, but it still works.
01:00:48Kind of like me.
01:00:50Another bike.
01:00:52Yeah, well, I didn't think one bike was enough for all of you, so.
01:00:58Oh.
01:01:02All right, now that's enough of that.
01:01:04Can we try it out?
01:01:05Yeah, sure.
01:01:06Me first.
01:01:07I already called it.
01:01:08I'm the one that's gone.
01:01:09You guys got a cheese?
01:01:13Yeah, yeah, yeah.
01:01:14Yeah, yeah, yeah.
01:01:18Uh, Tess, this is my friend Abigail Stanton from Hope Valley.
01:01:22Hello.
01:01:23Hope Valley.
01:01:25Me and my husband had some dealings there back when it was called Coal Valley.
01:01:30How so?
01:01:32Some fella convinced him to invest in a mining operation.
01:01:37Yeah, I tried to talk him out of it, but, uh.
01:01:40Anywho, we lost a bundle.
01:01:44You're talking about Henry Gowan.
01:01:46Yeah.
01:01:48Yeah, that's him.
01:01:56Thank you, Tess.
01:02:08My article won't be complete unless I interview the person in charge.
01:02:11How's it been going?
01:02:12Great.
01:02:13Uh, enjoying the food and beverage stands?
01:02:15I am, I am.
01:02:17What do you think of the town?
01:02:19It's quaint, but it's no Paris or Rome.
01:02:23Ah, just not trying to be.
01:02:25But you sense the small town charm, don't you?
01:02:27Wait, I'm the writer and you're the one asking all the questions?
01:02:31Sorry, um, ask away.
01:02:33How long have you been here?
01:02:35I think you know the answer to that.
01:02:37I'm looking for quotes to put in.
01:02:39Uh, I arrived the day after the Great Brookfield Fire.
01:02:43Is that what they're calling it?
01:02:44No, but it makes for a better quote.
01:02:47You're a natural.
01:02:49Did you intend to stay here this long?
01:02:51Not at all.
01:02:52Well, what is it about this town?
01:02:54The people.
01:02:56They're...
01:03:01Oh, dear. Um, we'll continue this later.
01:03:09Yeah, that's okay. Let's just make sure the children don't see you.
01:03:14Oh.
01:03:17Okay, it looks like you've had an allergic reaction.
01:03:22Oh, cinnamon.
01:03:25What?
01:03:26Cinnamon.
01:03:28Cinnamon?
01:03:30Oh.
01:03:33Oh, look, it...
01:03:35Oh, that is great. I mean...
01:03:38Some butterbur extract should help bring down the swelling.
01:03:42Yeah?
01:03:44Or, uh...
01:03:45Or maybe it won't.
01:03:53Sam, right?
01:03:54That's right.
01:03:55Paul, did you organize the festival with Maggie?
01:03:59I just help out on occasion.
01:04:01Are you her assistant?
01:04:03No, but I do whatever she needs.
01:04:07I guess I am her assistant.
01:04:09Have you seen her?
01:04:10She's with a patient.
01:04:12Well, if she asks, tell her I have the carolers scheduled.
01:04:16Oh, what'd you catch?
01:04:22It could have been those canal custard tarts.
01:04:25Um, I know it was.
01:04:27How can you be so sure?
01:04:29Um, yannel is French for cinnamon.
01:04:33Oh.
01:04:36Not knowing that language could kill me.
01:04:38I think you'll survive.
01:04:40You wouldn't have made that mistake.
01:04:42Well, I spent six months in Paris and three in Marseille.
01:04:46Where haven't you been?
01:04:47Lots of places.
01:04:49Anyway, I'm pulling you from Santa duty.
01:04:53I can still do it.
01:04:59Joe?
01:05:00Santa is supposed to bring joy to children, not frighten them.
01:05:06Go home and get better.
01:05:11Ho, ho, ho.
01:05:13Lillian, I know we've been stuck in the same place.
01:05:18Stuck.
01:05:20Stuck.
01:05:21Come on, kids, love, that's the best you can do.
01:05:27Stuck.
01:05:34This is going to go great.
01:05:41Yeah!
01:05:43Lillian.
01:05:44Hi.
01:05:45I got you a little something for Christmas.
01:05:46Thanks, Gabriel. I got you something, too.
01:05:48Oh, thank you. I wasn't expecting...
01:05:51Um, listen, I was hoping we could have a moment alone.
01:05:54Gabriel, Joe can't be Santa. Can you step into him?
01:05:57Oh, I'd love to, but I have to be on duty.
01:05:59Uh, totally understandable. I will find someone else.
01:06:03Anyway, like I was saying...
01:06:04I thought you said we could have hot chocolate.
01:06:06We will.
01:06:07Yeah, hot chocolate!
01:06:10If you don't mind, um, we'll talk later.
01:06:13Bye!
01:06:14Hot chocolate!
01:06:15Okay, let's go get some hot chocolate.
01:06:16Let's go!
01:06:26This tree is so beautiful.
01:06:30Being here is going to be something of me and my sister.
01:06:33I don't know what would have happened without you.
01:06:36Oh, Cody.
01:06:38Nothing has made me happier than being your mom.
01:06:41You mean it?
01:06:43With all my heart.
01:06:45With all my heart.
01:07:04One cider, please, sir.
01:07:09You could tell me.
01:07:11Tell you what?
01:07:13What time you're coming tonight.
01:07:16Coming where?
01:07:17To the orphanage.
01:07:19I'm not going to the orphanage tonight.
01:07:22Why not?
01:07:24Why would I?
01:07:26Fine, then! Don't come!
01:07:28I'm not going to the orphanage.
01:07:30I'm not going to the orphanage.
01:07:32I'm not going to the orphanage.
01:07:34Fine, then! Don't come!
01:07:35I don't care!
01:07:37Violet, what's wrong?
01:07:39Violet?
01:07:42Kids.
01:07:44Violet, hey, hey, hey, what's wrong?
01:07:48I must have been bad.
01:07:50What happened?
01:07:51Santa's not coming.
01:07:53That's not true.
01:07:54No, no, of course he is.
01:07:56I just talked to him.
01:07:58You talked to who?
01:07:59Santa.
01:08:00Mr. Stewart.
01:08:01They're the same.
01:08:02Why do you say that?
01:08:03I saw him with his reindeers in his wagon.
01:08:05Full of presents.
01:08:09Mr. Stewart isn't Santa.
01:08:11Yes, he is!
01:08:12Okay.
01:08:14Let's say for a second that you're right.
01:08:17Which I am.
01:08:18Okay.
01:08:19If Santa wanted to disguise himself as a hotel owner,
01:08:23do you think you'd want the whole world to know?
01:08:25But I wouldn't tell anyone.
01:08:27Are you sure?
01:08:29Yes, I already did.
01:08:31See?
01:08:33Even if Mr. Stewart was Santa,
01:08:35he'd have to make you believe that he wasn't.
01:08:38Santa's coming.
01:08:39I promise.
01:08:42I need you to be Santa.
01:08:44Right.
01:08:46Yes, really.
01:08:47Joe's out of action.
01:08:49Well, isn't there anybody else who can do it?
01:08:51Believe me, I have tried.
01:08:52I can't find Sam or I'd ask him.
01:08:55It's just that Christmas and children,
01:08:58they don't go well together.
01:09:01I beg your pardon?
01:09:03They turn into these greedy little things.
01:09:05You know, I want this, I want that.
01:09:09It's unbecoming.
01:09:13Fine.
01:09:14I'll do it.
01:09:20Are you okay, Violet?
01:09:22She is now, right?
01:09:24Yeah.
01:09:25All right, let's go back and enjoy the festival.
01:09:27Santa schedules to be here any minute.
01:09:29Do you think it's true what Roy said?
01:09:32What did Roy say?
01:09:33That wishing for something, don't make it happen.
01:09:36Well, I wish to find my sister, and I found her.
01:09:39I wish to start an orphanage, and here we are.
01:09:43So.
01:09:44Maybe some wishes are just more important than others.
01:09:47Or more worthy.
01:09:48So, if I want a wish to come true,
01:09:50it has to be really important?
01:09:53Maybe.
01:09:55I'm telling you, the speed will make your heart pound.
01:09:58Oh, did I mention it's red?
01:09:59Uh, you did?
01:10:00Yeah, right.
01:10:01And I feel the road beneath you.
01:10:03Wow.
01:10:04It's nothing like it.
01:10:06All right.
01:10:07All done.
01:10:08Oh.
01:10:09Oh, hey, I, uh, I look good.
01:10:12Oh, listen, can we make sure the kids keep moving along quickly?
01:10:15You know, because otherwise they're just going to go on and on and on about what they want.
01:10:20Good.
01:10:25Next.
01:10:26Is everything okay?
01:10:27We're fine.
01:10:31Oh.
01:10:32Ho, ho, ho, ho, ho.
01:10:34Merry Christmas, everybody.
01:10:38Well, I don't remember Santa.
01:10:40Doesn't have a lot of time today, so let's, uh, let's keep her short and moving quick.
01:10:43Also, no, no, no sticky hands and fingers.
01:10:45Okay, ready to talk to Santa.
01:10:49Lovely one after the other.
01:10:54Roy, come on.
01:10:57Save me a spot.
01:10:59Where are you going?
01:11:06Talk to Santa.
01:11:08We don't want to.
01:11:10Tell him that you wish for a pony.
01:11:12I told you.
01:11:13If your wish is worthy, it can come true.
01:11:18Do what you want.
01:11:19I don't believe it.
01:11:22Come on.
01:11:23Pilot.
01:11:24Hurry.
01:11:27Well, that's terrific.
01:11:28I'll, uh, I'll see what Santa can do to help you.
01:11:30Hello.
01:11:31Guys.
01:11:32Up the door.
01:11:36Well, thanks for your help.
01:11:38Chop, chop.
01:11:39Here we are.
01:11:41Alrighty.
01:11:42And, uh, what would you like Santa to bring you for Christmas, young lady?
01:11:46I would like you to get my friend, Roy, a pony.
01:11:49Oh.
01:11:50Well, what about for you?
01:11:52That's all I wish for.
01:11:54Really?
01:11:56Interesting.
01:11:57Next.
01:12:00And, uh, how about you, young lady?
01:12:02Forget the raggedy hand off.
01:12:04Please get Roy a pony.
01:12:06Roy a pony.
01:12:08Oh.
01:12:09Hello, young man.
01:12:10And, uh, what would you like for Christmas?
01:12:12Roy needs a pony.
01:12:13Roy needs a pony.
01:12:18A pony for Roy.
01:12:19Who is this Roy?
01:12:22Huh.
01:12:23A pony for Roy.
01:12:25Of course.
01:12:26Right.
01:12:27Last one, Santa.
01:12:28A pony for Roy.
01:12:29Oh, that's it.
01:12:30Okay.
01:12:31We're done.
01:12:39Oh, dear.
01:12:40Yeah.
01:12:45Franny, are you okay?
01:12:48I guess I've seen it all.
01:12:50What do you mean?
01:12:53Every kid out there, every kid out there told me exactly what they want for themselves.
01:12:59Every kid except the kids in your orphanage.
01:13:02They all said what they wanted for Roy.
01:13:06I don't get it, Lily.
01:13:09Your kids have suffered more than anyone.
01:13:12Their Christmas wish is for someone else?
01:13:17You're doing a great job, Ronnie.
01:13:21Oh, honestly, it was the sweetest thing.
01:13:24Children.
01:13:25I'll leave you to it.
01:13:26Come here.
01:13:28Oh, my goodness.
01:13:29Was our wish worthy?
01:13:31It was.
01:13:32Very worthy.
01:13:33But remember, it took me years to find Grace and start my orphanage.
01:13:39Well, who would like a cookie?
01:13:41My treat.
01:13:42Me.
01:13:44You're in charge.
01:13:45Find us something nice.
01:13:46All right.
01:13:47Sure.
01:13:48Let's go, guys.
01:13:49So proud of you.
01:14:11Chocolate.
01:14:14Say, chocolate.
01:14:16Oh, my God.
01:14:19Can you talk?
01:14:21It's okay, Lily, and I'll wait for the children.
01:14:35What is it?
01:14:39I want you to know that...
01:14:43I really value our friendship.
01:14:45So do I.
01:14:47Spending time with you and the kids is always the highlight of my day.
01:14:52But as a malty, my job is to uphold the truth.
01:14:59The truth is...
01:15:01I have other feelings for you.
01:15:04Feelings that...
01:15:06possibly go beyond.
01:15:15Actions speak louder than words.
01:15:19I'm kidding.
01:15:29Hey, Rob.
01:15:30What's that in?
01:15:31Oh, um...
01:15:32Oh, I'm right here.
01:15:36Abigail, Cody, will you join us?
01:15:38We would love to.
01:15:45Let's do Joy to the World.
01:15:47Okay.
01:15:49Joy to the world, the Lord is come.
01:15:53Let earth receive her King.
01:15:57Let every heart prepare Him room.
01:16:02And heaven and nature sing.
01:16:04And heaven and nature sing.
01:16:06And heaven, and heaven, and nature sing.
01:16:11Joy to the world, the Savior reigns.
01:16:15Let men their songs employ.
01:16:19For fields and floods, rocks, hills and plains.
01:16:24Repeat the sounding joy.
01:16:26Repeat the sounding joy.
01:16:28Repeat, repeat the sounding joy.
01:16:34Merry Christmas!
01:16:41Merry Christmas!
01:16:47The stagecoach is leaving soon.
01:16:49I'm not going to be on it, Paul.
01:16:52I know.
01:16:54I used to be a beat reporter before I was a travel writer.
01:16:57I can see the headline.
01:17:00What is it?
01:17:01Maggie Parsons is invigorated by Brookfield.
01:17:06You know, places used to fill me with wonder.
01:17:11Now people do.
01:17:13And one person in particular.
01:17:15Ah, well, there you're wrong.
01:17:17There's no one person in my life right now.
01:17:22Maybe you don't even realize it.
01:17:25A picture's worth a thousand words.
01:17:30Merry Christmas, Maggie.
01:17:32Merry Christmas, Paul.
01:17:41Merry Christmas, Maggie.
01:17:58You don't have the money.
01:18:00I did.
01:18:01Well, what happened?
01:18:02I used it for something else.
01:18:06What could be more important than this little beauty?
01:18:09You know, you'd be surprised.
01:18:16Here.
01:18:19I thought you said the $20 was non-refundable.
01:18:21Merry Christmas.
01:18:37Ho, ho, ho.
01:18:40Go, go, go.
01:18:41Did Santa come?
01:18:42Of course.
01:18:43Children, make room for Miss Lillian.
01:18:46Look at the presents.
01:18:49Okay.
01:18:50Roy, come on.
01:18:54Now, you have all been so good this year,
01:18:56but I think even Santa has a budget sometimes.
01:19:01What was that?
01:19:04I knew it!
01:19:07Come on.
01:19:20See, Roy?
01:19:21Wishes do come true.
01:19:34Merry Christmas.
01:19:48Oh, Ronnie, it was just a car.
01:19:51It was not just a car.
01:19:54It was a speedster.
01:19:55What, there's a difference?
01:19:57Yeah.
01:19:58Oh.
01:19:59Mrs. Stewart, a telegram came for you.
01:20:14Tess?
01:20:15Tess, what is it?
01:20:29Merry Christmas, Mom.
01:20:31I love you.
01:20:33And thanks for being the best Mama Bear a boy could ever wish for.
01:20:39He remembers.
01:20:50Merry Christmas, Mama Bear.
01:20:52Merry Christmas, Ronnie.
01:21:03Merry Christmas.
01:21:23Honey?
01:21:25You've got to see this.
01:21:33Oh, my God.
01:22:03Oh, my God.
01:22:33Oh, my God.
01:23:03Oh, my God.
01:23:05Oh, my God.
01:23:07Oh, my God.

01:23:19Oh, my God.
01:23:21Oh, my God.
01:23:23Oh, my God.
01:23:25Oh, my God.
01:23:27Oh, my God.
01:23:29Oh, my God.
01:23:31Oh, my God.
01:23:33Oh, my God.
01:23:53MRS DEWITT
01:23:55I have no idea what I am doing, so I am just messing around...
01:24:00...and waiting for it to finish.
01:24:02Looks like the oil has been released.
01:24:05It is a bit darker than I expected, but it is still a bit brown.
01:24:09I will use this oil to wipe it off.
01:24:12The color is a bit too light for me.
01:24:15I guess I will have to wash it off with water.
01:24:18The oil is still a bit too light for me.
01:24:21I'm going to do the same thing on the other side.
01:24:51I'm going to do the same thing on the other side.
