00:00:09,667 --> 00:00:10,467
[Nar,

6
00:00:10,600 --> 00:00:12,266
there lies
a sleepy little village,

7
00:00:12,400 --> 00:00:14,900
with the biggest
Christmas spirit.

8
00:00:15,033 --> 00:00:16,333
Look for it on a map,

9
00:00:16,467 --> 00:00:19,066
and you won't be able
to find it.

10
00:00:19,200 --> 00:00:20,333
It is said

11
00:00:20,467 --> 00:00:23,800
that only those in need
of the village's particular joy,

12
00:00:23,934 --> 00:00:25,100
can find their way

13
00:00:25,233 --> 00:00:28,767
to its quiet,
welcoming streets.

14
00:00:28,900 --> 00:00:30,667
[Dad reading] "...and once
these special visitors arrive

15
00:00:30,800 --> 00:00:33,000
in this magical little place,

16
00:00:33,133 --> 00:00:36,300
they experience
a holiday season like no other,

17
00:00:36,433 --> 00:00:38,433
and are reminded
of who they really are

18
00:00:38,567 --> 00:00:40,767
and the true joy and peace

19
00:00:40,900 --> 00:00:43,233
that is the meaning
of Christmas."

20
00:00:43,367 --> 00:00:45,467
Did you really read this book
when you were my age?

21
00:00:45,600 --> 00:00:47,100
Only about a thousand times,

22
00:00:47,233 --> 00:00:49,000
and now,

23
00:00:49,133 --> 00:00:50,600
it belongs to you.

24
00:00:50,734 --> 00:00:52,066
An early
Christmas Eve present.

25
00:00:52,200 --> 00:00:54,266
Because you,
my sweet darling girl,

26
00:00:54,400 --> 00:00:55,967
are a very special person

27
00:00:56,100 --> 00:00:58,066
with a very special gift,

28
00:00:58,200 --> 00:01:00,133
and you know
what that means, right?

29
00:01:00,266 --> 00:01:03,133
I will grow up
and do very special things?

30
00:01:03,266 --> 00:01:04,467
That's right.

31
00:01:04,600 --> 00:01:06,734
As long as you follow
your heart and your dreams,

32
00:01:06,867 --> 00:01:08,133
you cannot fail.

33
00:01:08,266 --> 00:01:09,400
[door opens]

34
00:01:09,533 --> 00:01:10,800
But all of Talia's dreams

35
00:01:10,934 --> 00:01:12,867
are filled with pirates
and fairies, sir.

36
00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:14,467
[laughing]
Hey, my dreams are fun!

37
00:01:14,600 --> 00:01:15,834
Look who it is.

38
00:01:15,967 --> 00:01:17,500
Well, happy holidays, Anderson.

39
00:01:17,633 --> 00:01:18,500
Thanks.

40
00:01:18,633 --> 00:01:19,633
I wanted to ask

41
00:01:19,767 --> 00:01:21,066
if Talia could come out
and play with me.

42
00:01:21,200 --> 00:01:22,834
But my dad just got home
from his work trip.

43
00:01:22,967 --> 00:01:24,233
He's reading me my new book.

44
00:01:24,367 --> 00:01:26,300
You should stay and listen.

45
00:01:26,433 --> 00:01:27,667
Actually,
your timing is perfect.

46
00:01:27,800 --> 00:01:30,500
I was just about to whip up
some hot chocolate for us.

47
00:01:30,633 --> 00:01:33,166
Talia, why don't you build
a cozy fort

48
00:01:33,300 --> 00:01:35,500
and you can
read it to Anderson?

49
00:01:35,633 --> 00:01:36,800
[Talia reads]
"The village is ruled

50
00:01:36,934 --> 00:01:38,867
by a beautiful fairy queen

51
00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:40,166
and her handsome king,

52
00:01:40,300 --> 00:01:41,734
but everything you want
was there,

53
00:01:41,867 --> 00:01:43,400
you just had to ask."

54
00:01:43,533 --> 00:01:45,066
I bet I could find Wunderbrook
on a map.

55
00:01:45,200 --> 00:01:46,967
All I'd need is my compass.

56
00:01:47,100 --> 00:01:48,633
No way, it's impossible.

57
00:01:48,767 --> 00:01:50,567
It says so
right on the first page.

58
00:01:50,700 --> 00:01:52,233
You have to have
"forgotten who you are

59
00:01:52,367 --> 00:01:54,200
and forgotten how to dream".

60
00:01:54,333 --> 00:01:55,333
Whatever that means.

61
00:01:55,467 --> 00:01:57,567
Besides, the evil witch
would chase you

62
00:01:57,700 --> 00:01:58,800
and force you out of town,

63
00:01:58,934 --> 00:01:59,967
and then the princess

64
00:02:00,166 --> 00:02:01,467
would give you
a kiss on the cheek

65
00:02:01,600 --> 00:02:03,734
and grant
all your secret wishes.

66
00:02:03,867 --> 00:02:05,467
Secret wishes and kisses?

67
00:02:05,600 --> 00:02:08,400
I don't remember
that part of the story.

68
00:02:08,533 --> 00:02:09,967
[Talia] Because
I'm making up my own parts.

69
00:02:10,100 --> 00:02:10,900
- Thank you.
- Thanks.

70
00:02:11,033 --> 00:02:12,133
You're welcome.

71
00:02:12,266 --> 00:02:13,967
Talia is going to be a writer
when she grows up,

72
00:02:14,100 --> 00:02:15,867
because she's always daydreaming

73
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:16,934
and making things up.

74
00:02:17,066 --> 00:02:18,567
Yeah, I'm going to be famous,

75
00:02:18,700 --> 00:02:20,367
and everyone
will read my stories.

76
00:02:20,500 --> 00:02:21,400
I know you are.

77
00:02:21,533 --> 00:02:22,900
So, what are you going to be

78
00:02:23,033 --> 00:02:24,433
when you grow up, Anderson?

79
00:02:24,567 --> 00:02:26,400
Our teacher says
I should be a doctor.

80
00:02:26,533 --> 00:02:31,033
I think that sounds
like a wonderful idea.

81
00:02:31,166 --> 00:02:32,934
Are you okay, Daddy?

82
00:02:33,066 --> 00:02:34,600
Are you still tired
from your medicine?

83
00:02:34,734 --> 00:02:36,633
A little,
but nothing to worry about.

84
00:02:36,767 --> 00:02:38,367
I'm heading upstairs now.

85
00:02:38,500 --> 00:02:40,633
Don't get into any trouble
down here.

86
00:02:40,767 --> 00:02:41,600
Okay, love you.

87
00:02:41,734 --> 00:02:43,100
I love you, too.

88
00:02:43,233 --> 00:02:46,066
What's that flyer say?

89
00:02:46,200 --> 00:02:49,100
"Good for one free week
at the Gingerbread Inn,

90
00:02:49,233 --> 00:02:50,633
offer will not expire,

91
00:02:50,767 --> 00:02:52,367
transportation provided.

92
00:02:52,500 --> 00:02:53,467
Where is it?

93
00:02:53,600 --> 00:02:54,800
It says "Close by,"

94
00:02:54,934 --> 00:02:56,066
but close by to what?

95
00:02:56,200 --> 00:02:57,633
I guess it's a mystery,

96
00:02:57,767 --> 00:02:58,800
just like Wunderbrook.

97
00:02:58,934 --> 00:03:08,967
I bet nothing bad
ever happens there.

98
00:03:10,600 --> 00:03:12,600
- Hi.
- Hi.

99
00:03:12,734 --> 00:03:15,133
Do you really
have to move away?

100
00:03:15,266 --> 00:03:17,166
Yeah, my mom's
renting out the house.

101
00:03:17,300 --> 00:03:19,033
She wants to be closer to
my aunt and uncle for a while.

102
00:03:19,166 --> 00:03:21,200
She says this house
is too much for one person

103
00:03:21,333 --> 00:03:22,800
since my dad died.

104
00:03:22,934 --> 00:03:27,767
I got you something.

105
00:03:27,900 --> 00:03:29,533
It's so you can
keep writing down

106
00:03:29,667 --> 00:03:35,166
all your stories.

107
00:03:35,300 --> 00:03:36,967
Thank you, Anderson.

108
00:03:37,100 --> 00:03:39,133
I love it.

109
00:03:39,266 --> 00:03:41,133
Maybe you can send me some
in the mail?

110
00:03:41,266 --> 00:03:44,433
When you're feeling better.

111
00:03:44,567 --> 00:03:47,867
I have something for you, too.

112
00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:49,367
I wanted you to have
your own copy,

113
00:03:49,500 --> 00:03:51,467
so you wouldn't forget about me.

114
00:03:51,600 --> 00:03:54,800
[bell chimes]

115
00:03:54,934 --> 00:03:56,300
Did you hear that?

116
00:03:56,433 --> 00:03:57,433
Hear what?

117
00:03:57,567 --> 00:03:59,100
I thought I heard...

118
00:03:59,233 --> 00:04:00,066
Never mind.

119
00:04:00,200 --> 00:04:01,867
I'm going to miss you.

120
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:07,734
Me too.

121
00:04:07,867 --> 00:04:17,567
[♪]

122
00:04:17,700 --> 00:04:19,667
[Narrator]
As time continues to pass,

123
00:04:19,800 --> 00:04:23,400
dreams are often in danger
of making way for reality,

124
00:04:23,533 --> 00:04:25,834
but where there is passion
there is hope--

125
00:04:25,967 --> 00:04:29,867
for one dreamer at least.

126
00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:30,867
Hey!

127
00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:32,066
- Hi!
- Tal!

128
00:04:32,200 --> 00:04:33,100
[laughing happily]

129
00:04:33,233 --> 00:04:36,600
I'm so excited to see you!

130
00:04:36,734 --> 00:04:39,700
Looks like your
creative juices are flowing.

131
00:04:39,834 --> 00:04:41,033
Oh, no, not exactly.

132
00:04:41,166 --> 00:04:43,066
Just some
exhilarating inventory.

133
00:04:43,200 --> 00:04:46,266
Well, the store
looks fantastic.

134
00:04:46,400 --> 00:04:49,867
Thanks so much
for hosting my event,

135
00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:51,100
and so close to Christmas.

136
00:04:51,233 --> 00:04:52,233
Are you kidding?

137
00:04:52,367 --> 00:04:54,834
We have a literary sensation
in our midst.

138
00:04:54,967 --> 00:04:56,066
Come look.

139
00:04:56,200 --> 00:04:58,667
I have a surprise for you.

140
00:04:58,800 --> 00:05:00,934
You ready?

141
00:05:01,066 --> 00:05:02,400
Ta-dah!

142
00:05:02,533 --> 00:05:03,900
Oh!
[laughs in delight]

143
00:05:04,033 --> 00:05:06,133
"Sensation" might be
a bit of a stretch,

144
00:05:06,266 --> 00:05:09,333
but I appreciate
your enthusiasm.

145
00:05:09,467 --> 00:05:12,233
I don't suppose your publisher
gave you any feedback

146
00:05:12,367 --> 00:05:14,000
on my manuscript?

147
00:05:14,133 --> 00:05:16,266
They just got back to me.

148
00:05:16,400 --> 00:05:17,800
They said it was cute,

149
00:05:17,934 --> 00:05:20,166
but they don't think
your stories

150
00:05:20,300 --> 00:05:22,467
are a fit for their brand.

151
00:05:22,600 --> 00:05:24,600
They prefer edgier material.

152
00:05:24,734 --> 00:05:25,934
Right.

153
00:05:26,066 --> 00:05:27,300
Okay.

154
00:05:27,433 --> 00:05:28,400
Well, thank you for trying.

155
00:05:28,533 --> 00:05:29,600
Yeah.

156
00:05:29,734 --> 00:05:31,066
Look.

157
00:05:31,200 --> 00:05:32,467
Someone's
in your reading chair.

158
00:05:32,600 --> 00:05:34,300
That's where Miss Talia
reads us her stories

159
00:05:34,433 --> 00:05:35,467
about Mr. Snowflake.

160
00:05:35,600 --> 00:05:37,467
Sloane,
this is my neighbor, Ryan.

161
00:05:37,600 --> 00:05:39,433
And your biggest fan, I see.

162
00:05:39,567 --> 00:05:42,567
Today, Sloane is going
to read part of her book.

163
00:05:42,700 --> 00:05:45,500
She's a real
professional writer.

164
00:05:45,633 --> 00:05:46,767
[Narrator] Talia wondered

165
00:05:46,900 --> 00:05:48,500
if she would ever
find her voice,

166
00:05:48,633 --> 00:05:50,633
or those who would
appreciate her gifts,

167
00:05:50,767 --> 00:05:52,300
while unaware
a friend from the past

168
00:05:52,433 --> 00:05:58,800
was searching
for answers of his own.

169
00:05:58,934 --> 00:06:08,967
[♪]

170
00:06:16,700 --> 00:06:20,367
Chief, hey, it's, uh,
it's Anderson.

171
00:06:20,500 --> 00:06:23,967
You gotta get somebody
to cover my next procedure.

172
00:06:24,100 --> 00:06:25,133
No, I'll be okay,

173
00:06:25,266 --> 00:06:29,667
I just need a couple of days
to clear my head

174
00:06:29,800 --> 00:06:32,700
and get some rest.

175
00:06:32,834 --> 00:06:34,033
I'll keep you posted.

176
00:06:34,166 --> 00:06:35,900
I'll be back soon, I promise.

177
00:06:36,033 --> 00:06:40,000
Thanks, Chief.

178
00:06:40,133 --> 00:06:42,867
[Narrator] Doubting oneself
does not make for a happy heart,

179
00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:45,066
especially when
that inner conflict spreads

180
00:06:45,200 --> 00:06:50,033
to the loving bond
between two souls.

181
00:06:50,166 --> 00:06:51,800
I got some gifts
for the nieces and nephews,

182
00:06:51,934 --> 00:06:53,066
I just need to find something
for your parents.

183
00:06:53,200 --> 00:06:53,900
Any thoughts?

184
00:06:54,033 --> 00:06:56,033
Keith?

185
00:06:56,166 --> 00:06:57,400
You don't need my two cents.

186
00:06:57,533 --> 00:06:59,000
I'm sure
whatever you pick is fine.

187
00:06:59,133 --> 00:07:00,066
Okay.

188
00:07:00,200 --> 00:07:01,133
Did you remember
to call the plumber?

189
00:07:01,266 --> 00:07:04,233
The leak is getting worse.

190
00:07:04,367 --> 00:07:05,567
I'll do it myself.

191
00:07:05,700 --> 00:07:15,667
Where have I heard
that before?

192
00:07:22,600 --> 00:07:24,266
[Narrator]
As Diane contemplated

193
00:07:24,400 --> 00:07:27,033
if this was her last Christmas
with Keith,

194
00:07:27,166 --> 00:07:29,700
another soul was desperately
holding onto something

195
00:07:29,834 --> 00:07:32,300
that was already gone.

196
00:07:32,433 --> 00:07:35,200
Bea, honey, I'm home.

197
00:07:35,333 --> 00:07:37,734
How was your day?

198
00:07:37,867 --> 00:07:40,033
I went grocery shopping.

199
00:07:40,166 --> 00:07:43,633
I picked up some of
that almond milk you like.

200
00:07:43,767 --> 00:07:44,934
So fancy.

201
00:07:45,066 --> 00:07:47,400
[chuckles]

202
00:07:47,533 --> 00:07:49,934
Remember when it was just
half and half?

203
00:07:50,066 --> 00:07:54,066
Oh, I ran into your friends
from the book club.

204
00:07:54,200 --> 00:07:58,266
They sure miss
having you around.

205
00:07:58,400 --> 00:08:07,367
[kiss]

206
00:08:07,500 --> 00:08:09,367
[Narrator] Little did
these struggling souls know

207
00:08:09,500 --> 00:08:11,500
the forces that would
bring them all together

208
00:08:11,633 --> 00:08:21,600
were already in motion.

209
00:08:22,800 --> 00:08:24,467
Why bother,

210
00:08:24,600 --> 00:08:25,667
you already know
what they're going to say.

211
00:08:25,800 --> 00:08:27,600
"Thank you for your interest,

212
00:08:27,734 --> 00:08:29,767
but we are unable to proceed
with your material

213
00:08:29,900 --> 00:08:32,633
at this time."

214
00:08:32,767 --> 00:08:36,333
[sighs heavily]

215
00:08:36,467 --> 00:08:38,834
[muttering]

216
00:08:38,967 --> 00:08:45,667
[muttering]

217
00:08:45,800 --> 00:08:47,934
[muttering]
...like it's really no joke.

218
00:08:48,066 --> 00:08:49,033
Did you say something?

219
00:08:49,166 --> 00:08:53,600
Oh, sorry, no,
I'm just talking to myself.

220
00:08:53,734 --> 00:08:54,867
Have we met?

221
00:08:55,000 --> 00:08:57,100
Sorry, never mind.

222
00:08:57,233 --> 00:08:59,767
You know, I do that a lot
because I read quite often

223
00:08:59,900 --> 00:09:00,834
and so between
all the characters

224
00:09:00,967 --> 00:09:02,033
I envision in my head,

225
00:09:02,166 --> 00:09:03,100
and all the people
that come through this door,

226
00:09:03,233 --> 00:09:04,667
there's just
a lot going on, right?

227
00:09:04,800 --> 00:09:06,233
I also talk a lot. [chuckles]

228
00:09:06,367 --> 00:09:08,100
Talia?

229
00:09:08,233 --> 00:09:09,033
Is that you?

230
00:09:09,166 --> 00:09:11,333
From Rockford Elementary?

231
00:09:11,467 --> 00:09:12,934
- Anderson?
- Yeah.

232
00:09:13,066 --> 00:09:14,367
- What?!
- Yeah!

233
00:09:14,500 --> 00:09:17,367
- Hi!
- [laughs in delight] Hi!

234
00:09:17,500 --> 00:09:21,333
[laughing]

235
00:09:21,467 --> 00:09:23,867
Wow!

236
00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:25,000
How long has it been?

237
00:09:25,133 --> 00:09:26,066
Not since you and your mom
moved away, right?

238
00:09:26,200 --> 00:09:27,166
When did you come back
to Seattle?

239
00:09:27,300 --> 00:09:28,734
I moved back
into my family's house

240
00:09:28,867 --> 00:09:30,667
after I got my Master's
in writing.

241
00:09:30,800 --> 00:09:31,667
Cool.

242
00:09:31,800 --> 00:09:33,567
I wish I'd known,

243
00:09:33,700 --> 00:09:35,600
I would have invited you out
for coffee or something.

244
00:09:35,734 --> 00:09:37,700
Oh, you know, and I actually
kept meaning to look you up,

245
00:09:37,834 --> 00:09:40,900
but I didn't think
you'd remember me after so long.

246
00:09:41,033 --> 00:09:42,700
Of course, I remember you.

247
00:09:42,834 --> 00:09:45,533
So, which section is yours?

248
00:09:45,667 --> 00:09:47,100
Do you use a nom de plume?

249
00:09:47,233 --> 00:09:49,867
More like a nom de calculator.

250
00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:51,900
This is actually my store.

251
00:09:52,033 --> 00:09:53,734
- Oh.
- Yeah, which, you know,

252
00:09:53,867 --> 00:09:56,000
requires a surprising amount
of math,

253
00:09:56,133 --> 00:09:59,900
and sadly, not as many
clever turns of phrase.

254
00:10:00,033 --> 00:10:01,333
Ah, well, that's too bad.

255
00:10:01,467 --> 00:10:02,667
I always liked
reading your stuff.

256
00:10:02,800 --> 00:10:04,600
Not that running your own store
isn't also fantastic.

257
00:10:04,734 --> 00:10:05,667
- Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- It is, no,

258
00:10:05,800 --> 00:10:07,333
I just,
yours was the only fiction

259
00:10:07,467 --> 00:10:08,367
I ever really got into.

260
00:10:08,500 --> 00:10:10,266
Oh, that's nice.

261
00:10:10,400 --> 00:10:12,867
Well, um, I still dabble,
of course, right?

262
00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:14,867
In fact, publishers
are considering my work

263
00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:16,033
as we speak.

264
00:10:16,166 --> 00:10:16,867
Cool.

265
00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:17,867
What about you?

266
00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:18,834
What about you, what do you do?

267
00:10:18,967 --> 00:10:20,767
I am a surgeon.

268
00:10:20,900 --> 00:10:22,734
- Oh!
- At Seattle Medical.

269
00:10:22,867 --> 00:10:25,033
But I'm taking
a bit of a vacation.

270
00:10:25,166 --> 00:10:27,734
Oh, hence the need
for reading material?

271
00:10:27,867 --> 00:10:28,834
Yes.

272
00:10:28,967 --> 00:10:30,333
Okay, so, what are you
in the mood for?

273
00:10:30,467 --> 00:10:32,867
Can I offer you
a nice juicy mystery, or...

274
00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:34,400
Maybe something
a little more uplifting

275
00:10:34,533 --> 00:10:36,567
would be a better distraction?

276
00:10:36,700 --> 00:10:38,266
Just what the doctor ordered?

277
00:10:38,400 --> 00:10:39,934
- Something like that.
- Okay.

278
00:10:40,066 --> 00:10:41,767
So, what you have planned
for the holidays?

279
00:10:41,900 --> 00:10:43,266
My mom's away this year,

280
00:10:43,400 --> 00:10:44,200
but I have other plans.

281
00:10:44,333 --> 00:10:46,367
Loads of plans.

282
00:10:46,500 --> 00:10:47,533
Lots.

283
00:10:47,667 --> 00:10:48,734
Great, well,

284
00:10:48,867 --> 00:10:50,734
we should do that catch-up
after the holidays.

285
00:10:50,867 --> 00:10:51,934
I would love that.

286
00:10:52,066 --> 00:10:52,867
Yeah.

287
00:10:53,000 --> 00:10:55,667
Um, here,
put in your contact info.

288
00:10:55,800 --> 00:10:58,767
Ah, still ordering me around
like old times, huh?

289
00:10:58,900 --> 00:11:01,834
[laughs]
Some things never change.

290
00:11:01,967 --> 00:11:02,967
All right.

291
00:11:03,100 --> 00:11:04,934
Thank you. Here you go.

292
00:11:05,066 --> 00:11:06,633
I think you'll like this one,
it's on me.

293
00:11:06,767 --> 00:11:09,100
Well, thanks.

294
00:11:09,233 --> 00:11:13,100
Text me, and we'll get
that catch-up on the books.

295
00:11:13,233 --> 00:11:14,266
Yeah. Sounds good.

296
00:11:14,400 --> 00:11:15,133
- All right.
- Okay.

297
00:11:15,266 --> 00:11:17,667
- See ya.
- Bye.

298
00:11:17,800 --> 00:11:19,800
[sighs]
"I still dabble?"

299
00:11:19,934 --> 00:11:24,800
Good grief, Talia,
you're so lame.

300
00:11:24,934 --> 00:11:27,133
Hey, Mom,
guess who I saw today.

301
00:11:27,266 --> 00:11:28,333
Anderson!

302
00:11:28,467 --> 00:11:29,667
Yeah, from back in the day.

303
00:11:29,800 --> 00:11:31,300
Do you remember him?

304
00:11:31,433 --> 00:11:32,767
Oh.

305
00:11:32,900 --> 00:11:34,000
Single?

306
00:11:34,133 --> 00:11:37,000
I have no idea,
we didn't get into all that.

307
00:11:37,133 --> 00:11:42,133
I know, I wish we could
spend Christmas together, too.

308
00:11:42,266 --> 00:11:45,633
Yes, for sure, absolutely.

309
00:11:45,767 --> 00:11:46,567
Okay.

310
00:11:46,700 --> 00:11:47,767
I love you, too.

311
00:11:47,900 --> 00:11:49,066
Bye.

312
00:11:49,200 --> 00:11:59,166
Oh.

313
00:12:06,800 --> 00:12:14,633
[sighs heavily]

314
00:12:14,767 --> 00:12:17,700
[telephone ringing]

315
00:12:17,834 --> 00:12:19,300
Hello?

316
00:12:19,433 --> 00:12:21,367
Hi, Robyn?
It's Talia!

317
00:12:21,500 --> 00:12:22,300
Um...

318
00:12:22,433 --> 00:12:23,667
I know it's been a while,

319
00:12:23,800 --> 00:12:24,800
but I was just wondering

320
00:12:24,934 --> 00:12:26,633
what you were up to
for the holidays?

321
00:12:26,767 --> 00:12:28,533
Oh, dear.
I'm afraid this isn't Robyn.

322
00:12:28,667 --> 00:12:29,633
This is Judy,

323
00:12:29,767 --> 00:12:33,367
and you've reached
the Gingerbread Inn.

324
00:12:33,500 --> 00:12:34,867
I'm sorry,
the Gingerbread what?

325
00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:36,800
The Gingerbread Inn, dear.

326
00:12:36,934 --> 00:12:38,133
I'm assuming you called

327
00:12:38,266 --> 00:12:39,800
about the special
getaway promotion?

328
00:12:39,934 --> 00:12:41,667
Deluxe private room,

329
00:12:41,800 --> 00:12:43,133
three home-cooked meals a day,

330
00:12:43,266 --> 00:12:45,700
access to all
festival activities.

331
00:12:45,834 --> 00:12:48,133
That--
Wow, that sounds lovely,

332
00:12:48,266 --> 00:12:50,900
but I was actually just trying
to call my friend.

333
00:12:51,033 --> 00:12:52,166
Well...

334
00:12:52,300 --> 00:12:53,867
maybe it's fate.

335
00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:56,467
Those who need it most
tend to find their way to us,

336
00:12:56,600 --> 00:12:58,667
and you're in luck.

337
00:12:58,800 --> 00:13:01,467
We only have two openings left
for this season.

338
00:13:01,600 --> 00:13:03,734
Do let us know soon
if you change your mind.

339
00:13:03,867 --> 00:13:05,266
Okay, great, thank you,

340
00:13:05,400 --> 00:13:07,934
uh, but I will say, um,

341
00:13:08,066 --> 00:13:10,433
I probably will just stay put
and celebrate with my friends,

342
00:13:10,567 --> 00:13:12,266
but I do appreciate the offer.

343
00:13:12,400 --> 00:13:13,200
Very kind.

344
00:13:13,333 --> 00:13:14,066
Okay.

345
00:13:14,200 --> 00:13:14,934
Thank you.

346
00:13:15,066 --> 00:13:17,867
Bye.

347
00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:19,934
Hmm.

348
00:13:20,066 --> 00:13:29,967
[sighs]

349
00:13:30,100 --> 00:13:32,400
Hey, Jenny, it's Talia!

350
00:13:32,533 --> 00:13:35,967
Yeah, hey, I was just wondering
what you were up to this week?

351
00:13:36,100 --> 00:13:37,567
Oh, that's right, yes,

352
00:13:37,700 --> 00:13:40,367
I forgot you were
with Rick's family.

353
00:13:40,500 --> 00:13:41,367
Okay.

354
00:13:41,500 --> 00:13:43,400
All right, well, have fun.

355
00:13:43,533 --> 00:13:49,066
Bye.

356
00:13:49,200 --> 00:13:58,300
[sighs]

357
00:13:58,433 --> 00:14:01,333
Hi, we spoke
earlier this evening.

358
00:14:01,467 --> 00:14:02,667
Yeah, you know,
I've been thinking,

359
00:14:02,800 --> 00:14:04,333
and I changed my mind.

360
00:14:04,467 --> 00:14:14,433
I'd be thrilled
to accept your offer.

361
00:14:32,066 --> 00:14:40,767
Where in the world am I?

362
00:14:40,900 --> 00:14:50,467
Wunderbrook?

363
00:14:50,600 --> 00:14:52,934
[rings bell]

364
00:14:53,066 --> 00:14:59,367
[Judy shouts from upstairs]
Be right there!

365
00:14:59,500 --> 00:15:01,000
Welcome
to the Gingerbread Inn.

366
00:15:01,133 --> 00:15:04,600
I'm Judy,
and I'll be your host.

367
00:15:04,734 --> 00:15:06,033
Is everything okay?

368
00:15:06,166 --> 00:15:07,934
I don't know.

369
00:15:08,066 --> 00:15:10,533
I'm having major deja vu.

370
00:15:10,667 --> 00:15:13,333
You know, this place
looks a lot like the...

371
00:15:13,467 --> 00:15:15,166
Never mind, never mind.

372
00:15:15,300 --> 00:15:16,934
It's just my imagination
working on overdrive again.

373
00:15:17,066 --> 00:15:17,934
Ignore me.

374
00:15:18,066 --> 00:15:19,367
Okay, I'm clearly exhausted.

375
00:15:19,500 --> 00:15:21,333
I was, like, nodding off
in the car ride over here.

376
00:15:21,467 --> 00:15:23,567
Thank you for arranging that,
by the way.

377
00:15:23,700 --> 00:15:24,433
We are delighted to have you.

378
00:15:24,567 --> 00:15:25,600
Please...

379
00:15:25,734 --> 00:15:27,900
accept your welcome basket.

380
00:15:28,033 --> 00:15:30,567
Oh!

381
00:15:30,700 --> 00:15:32,767
I asked you three times
to pack an extra charger.

382
00:15:32,900 --> 00:15:34,166
Why didn't you email me
the task list?

383
00:15:34,300 --> 00:15:36,033
Talia, meet Diane and Keith,

384
00:15:36,166 --> 00:15:37,000
two of our other guests.

385
00:15:37,133 --> 00:15:38,667
Oh, and this is Charles.

386
00:15:38,800 --> 00:15:41,500
My husband, Miles, is bringing
you some spare clothes.

387
00:15:41,633 --> 00:15:43,533
They're not exactly
fashionable, but...

388
00:15:43,667 --> 00:15:46,000
Oh, I appreciate
the generosity.

389
00:15:46,133 --> 00:15:47,200
I didn't expect
to be staying,

390
00:15:47,333 --> 00:15:49,900
so I just brought
my fishing gear.

391
00:15:50,033 --> 00:15:51,166
Oh!

392
00:15:51,300 --> 00:15:52,600
Jake, what's the matter?

393
00:15:52,734 --> 00:15:54,166
A car was detoured
our direction

394
00:15:54,300 --> 00:15:55,233
on the way up the coast,

395
00:15:55,367 --> 00:15:56,400
and the driver says
it's running funny.

396
00:15:56,533 --> 00:15:57,767
I told him to come on over.

397
00:15:57,900 --> 00:16:02,767
He's grabbing his suitcase.

398
00:16:02,900 --> 00:16:04,767
Anderson?

399
00:16:04,900 --> 00:16:06,100
Seriously?

400
00:16:06,233 --> 00:16:08,166
Yeah, I think? Hi.

401
00:16:08,300 --> 00:16:09,400
Hi.

402
00:16:09,533 --> 00:16:10,467
[Jake] You know each other?

403
00:16:10,600 --> 00:16:11,967
Uh, yeah,

404
00:16:12,100 --> 00:16:14,166
but we haven't seen each other
for like almost 30 years.

405
00:16:14,300 --> 00:16:15,767
Yeah,

406
00:16:15,900 --> 00:16:17,266
and now it's twice
in the same week.

407
00:16:17,400 --> 00:16:19,767
He's stalking me, it's fine.

408
00:16:19,900 --> 00:16:21,900
Sounds like kismet to me.

409
00:16:22,033 --> 00:16:24,166
Really?

410
00:16:24,300 --> 00:16:25,667
Well, I'll go see
if I can figure out

411
00:16:25,800 --> 00:16:26,834
what's going on with that detour

412
00:16:26,967 --> 00:16:28,066
and take a look at your car.

413
00:16:28,200 --> 00:16:30,233
I'm sort of the
Jake-of-all-trades around here.

414
00:16:30,367 --> 00:16:31,133
- Get it?
- [chuckles] Yeah.

415
00:16:31,266 --> 00:16:32,066
[chuckling]

416
00:16:32,200 --> 00:16:33,266
Well, that would be great.

417
00:16:33,400 --> 00:16:34,900
I'm sure I'll figure it out
by the morning.

418
00:16:35,033 --> 00:16:37,600
Well, gotta get going,
lots to do.

419
00:16:37,734 --> 00:16:41,066
Oh, and in the meantime,
I've got an extra room for you.

420
00:16:41,200 --> 00:16:43,934
I've got some lovely desserts
in this other room.

421
00:16:44,066 --> 00:16:46,233
I'm just going to turn in.

422
00:16:46,367 --> 00:16:48,433
I should probably
get some work done.

423
00:16:48,567 --> 00:16:51,433
- I'll be upstairs, okay?
- Okay.

424
00:16:51,567 --> 00:16:52,500
I don't want to get in his way,

425
00:16:52,633 --> 00:16:53,767
but I'm not very hungry,

426
00:16:53,900 --> 00:16:57,233
so I'm just going to go read.

427
00:16:57,367 --> 00:16:59,166
And then there were two.

428
00:16:59,300 --> 00:17:05,333
This way to the dining room.

429
00:17:05,467 --> 00:17:06,867
Delicious hot cocoa for you?

430
00:17:07,000 --> 00:17:08,467
- Oh.
- Yeah, thank you.

431
00:17:08,600 --> 00:17:11,567
Well, I'm hoping to figure out
what's wrong with the car.

432
00:17:11,700 --> 00:17:13,200
I'm aiming to get out of here
as soon as I can.

433
00:17:13,333 --> 00:17:14,300
I'm sure he will.

434
00:17:14,433 --> 00:17:15,567
Excuse me.

435
00:17:15,700 --> 00:17:18,533
So, I thought you were
stay-cationing in Seattle

436
00:17:18,667 --> 00:17:20,367
with loads of plans.

437
00:17:20,500 --> 00:17:21,967
Oh, yeah, uh,

438
00:17:22,100 --> 00:17:23,700
I may have embellished that
a little bit.

439
00:17:23,834 --> 00:17:24,533
Ah.

440
00:17:24,667 --> 00:17:25,834
Okay, you have to admit

441
00:17:25,967 --> 00:17:27,333
that it's a wild coincidence

442
00:17:27,467 --> 00:17:29,066
that we're both here, right?

443
00:17:29,200 --> 00:17:30,033
Okay.

444
00:17:30,166 --> 00:17:32,500
It was synergy.

445
00:17:32,633 --> 00:17:35,800
Ah, I thought the word
was "kismet".

446
00:17:35,934 --> 00:17:37,800
Only five visitors this year.

447
00:17:37,934 --> 00:17:39,233
Not a ton,
but we can make it work.

448
00:17:39,367 --> 00:17:40,400
Maybe.

449
00:17:40,533 --> 00:17:42,200
Assuming they have
a successful stay with us.

450
00:17:42,333 --> 00:17:43,667
I can't wait
to meet the new people.

451
00:17:43,800 --> 00:17:45,166
I have so many questions.

452
00:17:45,300 --> 00:17:46,967
I told you, Izzy,
you're not to bother the guests.

453
00:17:47,100 --> 00:17:48,567
I won't, Mom, I promise.

454
00:17:48,700 --> 00:17:50,900
[whispering] I don't know
why you're all so excited.

455
00:17:51,033 --> 00:17:52,066
Interlopers,

456
00:17:52,200 --> 00:17:53,800
that's what they are.

457
00:17:53,934 --> 00:17:56,700
I wish they'd all just
stay away and leave us be.

458
00:17:56,834 --> 00:17:57,900
Oh, Mildred,

459
00:17:58,033 --> 00:17:59,533
I know it's hard for you
to forget the past.

460
00:17:59,667 --> 00:18:03,266
Maybe this season
we can change how you feel.

461
00:18:03,400 --> 00:18:05,767
Now, we only have
until the conclusion

462
00:18:05,900 --> 00:18:06,633
on the Night of Wunder,

463
00:18:06,767 --> 00:18:08,800
on the 23rd, same as every year,

464
00:18:08,934 --> 00:18:10,400
to get everyone sorted.

465
00:18:10,533 --> 00:18:12,567
We all have our roles to play

466
00:18:12,700 --> 00:18:13,867
and not much time to do it.

467
00:18:14,000 --> 00:18:18,734
So...

468
00:18:18,867 --> 00:18:19,934
...let's get to it.

469
00:18:20,066 --> 00:18:21,967
[together, quietly] Ho! Ho! Ho!

470
00:18:22,100 --> 00:18:25,066
[Narrator] And so, Mildred
reluctantly pondered her role

471
00:18:25,200 --> 00:18:27,433
in the fate
of this year's guests.

472
00:18:27,567 --> 00:18:36,867
What obstacles
could she lay in their paths?

473
00:18:42,400 --> 00:18:43,367
Apparently,
the road to the cabin

474
00:18:43,500 --> 00:18:45,000
is going to be closed
longer than they thought,

475
00:18:45,133 --> 00:18:46,967
and my car is still
out of commission.

476
00:18:47,100 --> 00:18:48,367
- Please.
- Thank you.

477
00:18:48,500 --> 00:18:49,867
Yeah.

478
00:18:50,000 --> 00:18:52,266
So, I'm going to try
and book a Ride-share

479
00:18:52,400 --> 00:18:53,333
so I can take off.

480
00:18:53,467 --> 00:18:57,000
You sure you want to leave
so soon?

481
00:18:57,133 --> 00:19:00,367
There's something
in the air here.

482
00:19:00,500 --> 00:19:01,433
[Diane]
Keith, the plumber said

483
00:19:01,567 --> 00:19:03,734
he could start
on the repairs today.

484
00:19:03,867 --> 00:19:05,266
Our house flooded,

485
00:19:05,400 --> 00:19:07,767
which is why we had
to clear out last minute.

486
00:19:07,900 --> 00:19:09,166
Then I found a flyer
for this inn.

487
00:19:09,300 --> 00:19:11,433
It was in the mailbox
without a stamp.

488
00:19:11,567 --> 00:19:12,433
It was the oddest thing.

489
00:19:12,567 --> 00:19:14,266
What about you, Charles?

490
00:19:14,400 --> 00:19:16,233
How did you find your way here?

491
00:19:16,367 --> 00:19:17,500
Oh.

492
00:19:17,633 --> 00:19:18,867
Boredom.

493
00:19:19,000 --> 00:19:22,834
I've fished every fishing spot
there is to fish in Idaho.

494
00:19:22,967 --> 00:19:24,600
You came all this way to fish?

495
00:19:24,734 --> 00:19:26,500
And to think.

496
00:19:26,633 --> 00:19:27,600
Yeah.

497
00:19:27,734 --> 00:19:31,066
I got a little lost
on the way...

498
00:19:31,200 --> 00:19:32,066
found my way here somehow,

499
00:19:32,200 --> 00:19:33,333
Judy offered me a room.

500
00:19:33,467 --> 00:19:36,100
I figured I'd better stay put
before I really got lost.

501
00:19:36,233 --> 00:19:38,333
[chuckles warmly]

502
00:19:38,467 --> 00:19:40,000
How about you, Talia?

503
00:19:40,133 --> 00:19:41,233
Well, I called
the wrong number

504
00:19:41,367 --> 00:19:44,600
and Anderson got re-routed
on a detour, so...

505
00:19:44,734 --> 00:19:47,433
It's kind of like a force
drew us all here

506
00:19:47,567 --> 00:19:48,500
or something, right?

507
00:19:48,633 --> 00:19:50,533
You haven't changed a bit.

508
00:19:50,667 --> 00:19:53,367
That overactive imagination
still working double-time.

509
00:19:53,500 --> 00:19:56,000
[laughs]

510
00:19:56,133 --> 00:19:57,667
Hi! I'm Izzy.

511
00:19:57,800 --> 00:19:59,533
Judy and Miles are my parents.

512
00:19:59,667 --> 00:20:00,867
Can I show you all around

513
00:20:01,000 --> 00:20:02,200
before you get started
with your day?

514
00:20:02,333 --> 00:20:03,567
My mom said it's okay.

515
00:20:03,700 --> 00:20:05,400
Oh, our very own tour guide!

516
00:20:05,533 --> 00:20:06,934
I'll pass.

517
00:20:07,066 --> 00:20:10,667
I'm not in the mood for a tour.

518
00:20:10,800 --> 00:20:12,166
- Sounds good to me.
- Yeah.

519
00:20:12,300 --> 00:20:13,166
Keith?

520
00:20:13,300 --> 00:20:20,500
I should finish my brief.

521
00:20:20,633 --> 00:20:21,667
[Izzy] There's so many places
you can visit.

522
00:20:21,800 --> 00:20:23,400
There's
Mildred's Miracle Tavern.

523
00:20:23,533 --> 00:20:25,266
It's the nicest
restaurant around.

524
00:20:25,400 --> 00:20:28,200
Even though Mildred isn't always
the nicest person around.

525
00:20:28,333 --> 00:20:33,200
Don't tell her I said that!

526
00:20:33,333 --> 00:20:36,066
I swear,
it's the oddest thing.

527
00:20:36,200 --> 00:20:38,066
I just know
I've been here before.

528
00:20:38,200 --> 00:20:39,266
Impossible.

529
00:20:39,400 --> 00:20:41,200
I've never seen you,
and I never forget a face.

530
00:20:41,333 --> 00:20:42,667
My mom says
it's like a super power.

531
00:20:42,800 --> 00:20:43,934
Oh, well, that's impressive.

532
00:20:44,066 --> 00:20:46,734
Okay, but continue, Izzy,
this is so exciting!

533
00:20:46,867 --> 00:20:48,100
And it'll get even better.

534
00:20:48,233 --> 00:20:50,367
The tree lighting is tonight.

535
00:20:50,500 --> 00:20:51,867
The official start
of our Wunder Week.

536
00:20:52,000 --> 00:20:53,233
"Wunder Week"?

537
00:20:53,367 --> 00:20:56,166
Okay, I know
I've heard that before.

538
00:20:56,300 --> 00:20:57,066
Me too.

539
00:20:57,200 --> 00:20:58,266
Maybe a client...

540
00:20:58,400 --> 00:20:59,533
What do you and Keith
do for work?

541
00:20:59,667 --> 00:21:01,567
Oh, we're both lawyers.

542
00:21:01,700 --> 00:21:02,967
I just made partner at my firm,

543
00:21:03,100 --> 00:21:04,567
and Keith is a public defender.

544
00:21:04,700 --> 00:21:05,567
What about you, Anderson?

545
00:21:05,700 --> 00:21:06,633
What do you do?

546
00:21:06,767 --> 00:21:07,767
I just became an attending,

547
00:21:07,900 --> 00:21:10,834
so I supervise
my own group of residents.

548
00:21:10,967 --> 00:21:13,333
Surrounded
by doctors and lawyers.

549
00:21:13,467 --> 00:21:15,734
Suddenly,
I feel deeply inadequate.

550
00:21:15,867 --> 00:21:17,800
Aw, when you're a big,
hot-shot author,

551
00:21:17,934 --> 00:21:19,066
you'll forget all about us.

552
00:21:19,200 --> 00:21:20,600
Aw, you sound like my dad.

553
00:21:20,734 --> 00:21:22,467
He passed away when we were ten.

554
00:21:22,600 --> 00:21:24,967
He was just
my biggest cheerleader.

555
00:21:25,100 --> 00:21:33,500
I miss him every day.

[entry bell jingles]

557
00:21:40,233 --> 00:21:41,467
Hello there.

558
00:21:41,600 --> 00:21:43,467
You interested
in something to go?

559
00:21:43,600 --> 00:21:53,567
Got anything on tap?

560
00:21:57,467 --> 00:22:02,567
Can I see a food menu?

561
00:22:02,700 --> 00:22:05,700
No substitutions,
no exceptions.

562
00:22:05,834 --> 00:22:07,000
Don't worry,

563
00:22:07,133 --> 00:22:11,233
the only thing I'm allergic to
is excessive pleasantries,

564
00:22:11,367 --> 00:22:15,500
and I don't think that's going
to be an issue here.

565
00:22:15,633 --> 00:22:18,200
Goulash is my specialty.

566
00:22:18,333 --> 00:22:22,133
I'll have
a specialty goulash then.

567
00:22:22,266 --> 00:22:32,233
To stay.

568
00:22:36,633 --> 00:22:37,700
Can I ask you something?

569
00:22:37,834 --> 00:22:39,800
This whole village

570
00:22:39,934 --> 00:22:43,033
looks like a Christmas elf
exploded on it,

571
00:22:43,166 --> 00:22:45,300
but here, not so much.

572
00:22:45,433 --> 00:22:47,033
I used to go all out.

573
00:22:47,166 --> 00:22:49,200
For years,
this was the place to beat

574
00:22:49,333 --> 00:22:51,700
for best storefront
on Main Street.

575
00:22:51,834 --> 00:22:53,200
And then?

576
00:22:53,333 --> 00:22:55,734
I'm over it, as the kids say.

577
00:22:55,867 --> 00:22:57,800

Oh, Charles!

This is where
you've been hiding.

582
00:23:04,734 --> 00:23:07,533
Not hiding.

583
00:23:07,667 --> 00:23:10,200
I just prefer to avoid
the holiday hoopla.

584
00:23:10,333 --> 00:23:11,300
Oh.

585
00:23:11,433 --> 00:23:13,734
I can recommend the goulash.

Sounds perfect.
Three orders?

Sure.

589
00:23:19,567 --> 00:23:20,400
So, did you have a good day?

590
00:23:20,533 --> 00:23:22,400
I did.

591
00:23:22,533 --> 00:23:25,133
I had a pleasant enough
conversation with Mildred.

592
00:23:25,266 --> 00:23:27,567
She's... interesting.

593
00:23:27,700 --> 00:23:28,900
This place is nice.

594
00:23:29,033 --> 00:23:29,900

Hey!

Now, that is the kind of service
you do not get in the city.

597
00:23:33,567 --> 00:23:36,033
It's a little too good.

598
00:23:36,166 --> 00:23:37,567
Keith would send it back.

599
00:23:37,700 --> 00:23:39,567
He'd be suspicious
it'd been sitting out too long.

600

How'd you kids meet?

601
00:23:41,367 --> 00:23:44,533
Oh, we were on rival

on the billboard charts
of the '90s. [laughs]

604

So how'd you go from rivalry
to romance?

605
00:23:52,100 --> 00:23:54,133
He said since I bested him
in front of his friends,

606
00:23:54,266 --> 00:23:56,600
the least I could do
was join him for dinner.

607
00:23:56,734 --> 00:23:58,767
After that,
we were inseparable.

Ah, young love at its finest.

609
00:24:04,100 --> 00:24:08,200

Well, that's a shame.

I liked getting your stories
in the mail.

I was sad
when you stopped sending them.

You don't have to say that.

Anyway, that was
a lifetime ago.

when the market opens.

if this is a season

when the tourists
stop infesting our home.

Every year, we give and give

654

with nothing in return.

The problem isn't just
receding tourism.

If we fail,

to find their way to us anymore.

tried that one, Keith.

Right,
so you'll listen to her.

maybe I can add hot cocoa

that I can make.

Maybe you can make one
for your girlfriend.

No, no, the only relationships
I've been in recently

You'd know if you joined in.

722
00:28:56,600 --> 00:28:58,767
The festival
is a community event

723
00:28:58,900 --> 00:29:01,667
and right now you're
part of that community.

00:29:03,700 --> 00:29:04,700
But it's just...

726
00:29:04,834 --> 00:29:06,400
it's not the same

727
00:29:06,533 --> 00:29:08,333
going through the motions
without my Bea.

728
00:29:08,467 --> 00:29:10,133
[Judy] Is that your wife?

729
00:29:10,266 --> 00:29:13,567
My high-school sweetheart.

730
00:29:13,700 --> 00:29:16,667
We were married 42 years.

731
00:29:16,800 --> 00:29:19,033
She did the bookkeeping
at my shop.

732
00:29:19,166 --> 00:29:20,734
She was a whiz with numbers.

733
00:29:20,867 --> 00:29:23,133
Couldn't style her hair
to save her life.

734
00:29:23,266 --> 00:29:25,066
[laughs] Sounds like
you made quite the duo.

735
00:29:25,200 --> 00:29:29,066
We did.

736
00:29:29,200 --> 00:29:31,567
She passed

737
00:29:31,700 --> 00:29:33,867
three years ago.

738
00:29:34,000 --> 00:29:34,867
Cancer.

739
00:29:35,000 --> 00:29:37,867
I'm sorry, Charles.

740
00:29:38,000 --> 00:29:40,500
I'd give anything
to see my Bea again.

741
00:29:40,633 --> 00:29:42,233
Just for 10 minutes,

742
00:29:42,367 --> 00:29:44,667
even if all we did was bicker.

743
00:29:44,800 --> 00:29:47,033
She brought so much color
to my life.

744
00:29:47,166 --> 00:29:57,133
You still deserve
to experience joy, Charles.

745
00:30:04,266 --> 00:30:06,700
Did you know that Charles
is a widower?

746
00:30:06,834 --> 00:30:07,667
Sorry?

747
00:30:07,800 --> 00:30:10,667
I just overheard him
telling Judy.

748
00:30:10,800 --> 00:30:12,133
He misses her so much,

749
00:30:12,266 --> 00:30:14,233
and here I am,
constantly at odds with Keith.

750
00:30:14,367 --> 00:30:15,467
I just...

751
00:30:15,600 --> 00:30:18,367
I feel so horrible.

752
00:30:18,500 --> 00:30:20,000
Do you want to come in
for a minute?

753
00:30:20,133 --> 00:30:21,500
Yeah.

754
00:30:21,633 --> 00:30:23,467
I'm a pretty good talker,

755
00:30:23,600 --> 00:30:27,400
but I think I might be
a better listener.

756
00:30:27,533 --> 00:30:31,233
Have a seat.

757
00:30:31,367 --> 00:30:34,800
So, what's really going on
with you and Keith?

758
00:30:34,934 --> 00:30:37,233
Besides a flooded house.

759
00:30:37,367 --> 00:30:40,300
He never listens to me.

760
00:30:40,433 --> 00:30:43,867
He just tunes me out,
like I don't even exist.

761
00:30:44,000 --> 00:30:45,834
I'm sorry, Diane.

762
00:30:45,967 --> 00:30:48,367
Maybe it's normal
in a long-term relationship?

763
00:30:48,500 --> 00:30:53,133
I don't know.

764
00:30:53,266 --> 00:30:54,900
I filed for divorce.

765
00:30:55,033 --> 00:30:56,633
Oh.

766
00:30:56,767 --> 00:30:58,400
I haven't served him
the papers yet.

767
00:30:58,533 --> 00:31:00,233
I wanted to wait
until after the holidays,

768
00:31:00,367 --> 00:31:02,633
and I thought maybe this trip

769
00:31:02,767 --> 00:31:04,300
would be our last chance
to reconnect,

770
00:31:04,433 --> 00:31:07,266
but he's...

771
00:31:07,400 --> 00:31:09,266
You know, enough about me.

772
00:31:09,400 --> 00:31:10,533
How about you and Anderson?

773
00:31:10,667 --> 00:31:12,433
I've been sensing a vibe
between you two.

774
00:31:12,567 --> 00:31:13,567
No, no, no.

775
00:31:13,700 --> 00:31:15,967
We're just old friends.

776
00:31:16,100 --> 00:31:18,467
Hey, sorry, am I interrupting?

777
00:31:18,600 --> 00:31:19,433
- Oh, no.
- We were just chatting.

778
00:31:19,567 --> 00:31:21,133
- Yeah.
- Were your ears burning?

779
00:31:21,266 --> 00:31:22,300
Should they be?

780
00:31:22,433 --> 00:31:23,867
No, they shouldn't be.

781
00:31:24,000 --> 00:31:26,100
We were just...

782
00:31:26,233 --> 00:31:28,400
...wondering
where everyone was.

783
00:31:28,533 --> 00:31:29,367
And here you are!

784
00:31:29,500 --> 00:31:31,066
I mean, not just you,

785
00:31:31,200 --> 00:31:32,600
like, everyone, all the people.

786
00:31:32,734 --> 00:31:34,200
Well, I am here,

787
00:31:34,333 --> 00:31:37,100
and everybody else
is going downstairs.

788
00:31:37,233 --> 00:31:38,367
Miles invited us
for story hour.

789
00:31:38,500 --> 00:31:39,200
That sounds like fun.

790
00:31:39,333 --> 00:31:40,033
Yeah.

791
00:31:40,166 --> 00:31:41,066
- Shall we?
- We shall.

792
00:31:41,200 --> 00:31:45,266
Okay. Let's go.

793
00:31:45,400 --> 00:31:48,100
Oh, this looks like story hour
at my bookstore.

794
00:31:48,233 --> 00:31:49,600
What's a story hour?

795
00:31:49,734 --> 00:31:51,800
There are kids
in my neighborhood

796
00:31:51,934 --> 00:31:54,233
whose parents
struggle to find childcare.

797
00:31:54,367 --> 00:31:56,266
So they come,
and they read books,

798
00:31:56,400 --> 00:31:58,100
and they hang out.

799
00:31:58,233 --> 00:32:00,934
I tell them
some of my own stories, too.

800
00:32:01,066 --> 00:32:03,467
Well, I used to anyway.

801
00:32:03,600 --> 00:32:05,367
I would have loved
something like that as a kid.

802
00:32:05,500 --> 00:32:08,700
However, um, this event
isn't quite the same.

803
00:32:08,834 --> 00:32:10,834
Our tradition

804
00:32:10,967 --> 00:32:14,266
is to create
an original holiday story

805
00:32:14,400 --> 00:32:15,266
every year.

806
00:32:15,400 --> 00:32:16,433
How does it work?

807
00:32:16,567 --> 00:32:17,700
[Izzy] We all take turns.

808
00:32:17,834 --> 00:32:19,967
Whoever has the microphone
is the storyteller.

809
00:32:20,100 --> 00:32:22,166
Izzy, why don't you
kick us off?

810
00:32:22,300 --> 00:32:24,266
Okay.

811
00:32:24,400 --> 00:32:27,100
There once was
a lonely snowman,

812
00:32:27,233 --> 00:32:31,033
who wanted to meet
a special snowlady

813
00:32:31,166 --> 00:32:33,367
and fall in love.

814
00:32:33,500 --> 00:32:36,767
- Ooh...
- [everyone chuckles]

815
00:32:36,900 --> 00:32:40,300
Uh, so, he joined an app...

816
00:32:40,433 --> 00:32:41,266
[chuckling]

817
00:32:41,400 --> 00:32:43,166
...called the Icy Connection...

818
00:32:43,300 --> 00:32:44,500
[laughing]

819
00:32:44,633 --> 00:32:50,934
Uh... hoping to find a match.

820
00:32:51,066 --> 00:32:53,133
And...

821
00:32:53,266 --> 00:32:55,533
all anybody
ever wanted from him

822
00:32:55,667 --> 00:32:56,967
was advice on how not to melt.

823
00:32:57,100 --> 00:32:58,367
[laughing]

824
00:32:58,500 --> 00:32:59,800
Hey, no, this is--

825
00:32:59,934 --> 00:33:02,066
this is
from real-life experience

826
00:33:02,200 --> 00:33:05,500
from the five minutes
that I spent on a dating app.

827
00:33:05,633 --> 00:33:06,667
Here, take it for a spin.

828
00:33:06,800 --> 00:33:07,734
Uh, no, no--

829
00:33:07,867 --> 00:33:09,033
- No, no, no, no
- Here you go. Your turn.

830
00:33:09,166 --> 00:33:09,934
Hey, aren't you the pro?

831
00:33:10,066 --> 00:33:12,100
Fine, okay.

832
00:33:12,233 --> 00:33:13,567
Um...

833
00:33:13,700 --> 00:33:18,000
but when the snowman
looked in the mirror,

834
00:33:18,133 --> 00:33:19,200
he wondered, sadly,

835
00:33:19,333 --> 00:33:21,734
why he could never frolic
in the sun,

836
00:33:21,867 --> 00:33:25,567
and so began
his existential quest

837
00:33:25,700 --> 00:33:27,667
to understand
his elemental nature,

838
00:33:27,800 --> 00:33:29,400
for how could he ever partner

839
00:33:29,533 --> 00:33:31,767
with another snowy creature,

840
00:33:31,900 --> 00:33:35,433
knowing that a terrible,
puddly fate

841
00:33:35,567 --> 00:33:36,700
awaited them both?

842
00:33:36,834 --> 00:33:37,900
Oh...

843
00:33:38,033 --> 00:33:39,500
Then what happened?

844
00:33:39,633 --> 00:33:41,233
Well, he moved
to the North Pole, of course,

845
00:33:41,367 --> 00:33:45,500
where he would be safe
to find love all year round!

846
00:33:45,633 --> 00:33:46,767
- Oh!
- [applause]

847
00:33:46,900 --> 00:33:47,900
Brilliant!

848
00:33:48,033 --> 00:33:50,066
[all clapping]

849
00:33:50,200 --> 00:33:51,767
Okay, here.

850
00:33:51,900 --> 00:33:54,500
Okay, that is
a tough act to follow.

851
00:33:54,633 --> 00:33:56,066
I know, right?
Show-off.

852
00:33:56,200 --> 00:33:57,734
[chuckles awkwardly]

853
00:33:57,867 --> 00:34:01,233
No, but, really,
you have a gift.

854
00:34:01,367 --> 00:34:11,333
Maybe it's time to pick up
that pen again?

855
00:34:11,934 --> 00:34:12,900
Oh, hey, Mildred,

856
00:34:13,033 --> 00:34:14,767
I just stepped out
to get some air.

857
00:34:14,900 --> 00:34:16,133
Are you joining us or...

858
00:34:16,266 --> 00:34:20,400
Jake asked me
to bring you these.

859
00:34:20,533 --> 00:34:22,066
Looks like the roads
are open now.

860
00:34:22,200 --> 00:34:24,900
Your car seems to be running
just fine.

861
00:34:25,033 --> 00:34:27,567
You're free to leave
and be on your way,

862
00:34:27,700 --> 00:34:31,266
bright and early tomorrow.

863
00:34:31,400 --> 00:34:37,567
Thanks.

864
00:34:37,700 --> 00:34:39,000
Something the matter?

865
00:34:39,133 --> 00:34:40,600
Nice stunt with the keys.

866
00:34:40,734 --> 00:34:41,734
Classic, Mildred.

867
00:34:41,867 --> 00:34:42,734
Stunt?

868
00:34:42,867 --> 00:34:44,300
[scoffs]

869
00:34:44,433 --> 00:34:46,800
I was just returning a man
his property.

870
00:34:46,934 --> 00:34:48,567
Mildred, you have to let
things unfold

871
00:34:48,700 --> 00:34:49,600
the way they are meant to

872
00:34:49,734 --> 00:34:51,767
until we've helped them
sort their lives.

873
00:34:51,900 --> 00:34:56,000
I am just playing my role,
and you know it.

874
00:34:56,133 --> 00:34:59,567
Besides,
the magic is almost done.

875
00:34:59,700 --> 00:35:09,734
Tick tock, tick tock.

876
00:35:10,467 --> 00:35:12,066
[Narrator]
Will Mildred's meddling ways

877
00:35:12,200 --> 00:35:19,834
obstruct
the townspeople's quest?

878
00:35:19,967 --> 00:35:29,934
[Narrator] Chapter four.

879
00:35:35,166 --> 00:35:36,333
- Oh, hi.
- Hey.

880
00:35:36,467 --> 00:35:37,533
You got your keys back.

881
00:35:37,667 --> 00:35:40,433
Yeah, yeah, looks like
the detour is cleared up,

882
00:35:40,567 --> 00:35:41,767
and my car is okay.

883
00:35:41,900 --> 00:35:42,767
So, you're heading out?

884
00:35:42,900 --> 00:35:45,433
Actually,

885
00:35:45,567 --> 00:35:46,867
I don't know.

886
00:35:47,000 --> 00:35:49,633
I was putting some stuff
in my trunk,

887
00:35:49,767 --> 00:35:52,500
and I suddenly had
this overwhelming feeling

888
00:35:52,633 --> 00:35:54,800
that I needed to stay.

889
00:35:54,934 --> 00:35:56,033
It's hard to explain,

890
00:35:56,166 --> 00:35:57,200
but I hope you're okay

891
00:35:57,333 --> 00:35:58,367
sharing a bit more
of your vacation with me.

892
00:35:58,500 --> 00:35:59,800
I can live with that.

893
00:35:59,934 --> 00:36:01,100
All right.

894
00:36:01,233 --> 00:36:02,166
What's up?

895
00:36:02,300 --> 00:36:04,567
Oh, I found this
by my door earlier.

896
00:36:04,700 --> 00:36:06,400
You didn't leave it there,
did you?

897
00:36:06,533 --> 00:36:07,533
No.

898
00:36:07,667 --> 00:36:08,934
No, I can't
claim credit for that one.

899
00:36:09,066 --> 00:36:11,266
That's strange.

900
00:36:11,400 --> 00:36:12,934
Anyway, I love it

901
00:36:13,066 --> 00:36:14,100
and I've been writing
all morning.

902
00:36:14,233 --> 00:36:15,200
What about?

903
00:36:15,333 --> 00:36:17,767
Well, I'm noodling
on a holiday story

904
00:36:17,900 --> 00:36:18,900
about this village,

905
00:36:19,033 --> 00:36:21,100
and its precocious
resident tween.

906
00:36:21,233 --> 00:36:22,600
Ah, so Izzy is your muse.

907
00:36:22,734 --> 00:36:24,533
Well, I'm available to be
your first reader,

908
00:36:24,667 --> 00:36:26,400
whenever you're ready to share.

909
00:36:26,533 --> 00:36:27,567
I might take you up on that.

910
00:36:27,700 --> 00:36:28,433
All right.

911
00:36:28,567 --> 00:36:29,867
Let me guess,

912
00:36:30,000 --> 00:36:32,900
you're responsible
for that notebook's appearance?

913
00:36:33,033 --> 00:36:35,266
If only I could wave my wand

914
00:36:35,400 --> 00:36:37,166
and have them all
face their inner demons.

915
00:36:37,300 --> 00:36:38,900
You know we can only provide

916
00:36:39,033 --> 00:36:41,066
a positive,
uplifting experience.

917
00:36:41,200 --> 00:36:45,667
Our guests have to figure out
their issues on their own.

918
00:36:45,800 --> 00:36:48,100
You've practically been
all over the world.

919
00:36:48,233 --> 00:36:50,200
I have, everywhere
but the North Pole.

920
00:36:50,333 --> 00:36:52,500
Oh, I'm so envious.

921
00:36:52,633 --> 00:36:55,033
You know,
I get to travel, too, you know,

922
00:36:55,166 --> 00:36:56,400
yeah, when I read.

923
00:36:56,533 --> 00:36:57,667
[chuckling]

924
00:36:57,800 --> 00:36:59,600
Well, put some of them
on your bucket list.

925
00:36:59,734 --> 00:37:02,333
You know, I don't actually
believe in those.

926
00:37:02,467 --> 00:37:06,633
My dad had this whole endless
list of places he wanted to see,

927
00:37:06,767 --> 00:37:08,900
and he barely
made a dent in it.

928
00:37:09,033 --> 00:37:11,266
It just broke my heart,

929
00:37:11,400 --> 00:37:14,934
but feel free to regale me
in more of your adventures.

930
00:37:15,066 --> 00:37:17,100
So, where to next?

931
00:37:17,233 --> 00:37:19,834
I'm not sure I'm going
to do it again this year.

932
00:37:19,967 --> 00:37:20,834
Why?

933
00:37:20,967 --> 00:37:22,567
You have
too many responsibilities

934
00:37:22,700 --> 00:37:23,667
as an attending?

935
00:37:23,800 --> 00:37:26,000
Not exactly.

936
00:37:26,133 --> 00:37:27,967
Uh...

937
00:37:28,100 --> 00:37:34,066
anything you want
to get off your chest?

938
00:37:34,200 --> 00:37:36,900
I hate kale.

939
00:37:37,033 --> 00:37:39,300
There, I said it.

940
00:37:39,433 --> 00:37:45,500
Okay.

941
00:37:45,633 --> 00:37:46,667
Excuse me, Charles?

942
00:37:46,800 --> 00:37:49,000
Jake?

943
00:37:49,133 --> 00:37:51,967
I'm supposed to play Santa,

944
00:37:52,100 --> 00:37:53,300
but I have to set up
the grounds for later.

945
00:37:53,433 --> 00:37:55,133
Would you be willing to step in
and play Santa for me?

946
00:37:55,266 --> 00:37:57,800
Ah, I don't think so.

947
00:37:57,934 --> 00:37:59,100
Get him to do it.

948
00:37:59,233 --> 00:38:01,033
[Jake] Anderson?

949
00:38:01,166 --> 00:38:04,467
He doesn't have the gravitas
or the wisdom for it.

950
00:38:04,600 --> 00:38:06,233
I don't know
what we're talking about,

951
00:38:06,367 --> 00:38:07,233
but I think I'm insulted?

952
00:38:07,367 --> 00:38:08,500
Since I have you,

953
00:38:08,633 --> 00:38:10,200
would you two be willing
to play Santa's elves?

954
00:38:10,333 --> 00:38:13,667
Uh... hold on,
are there costumes?

955
00:38:13,800 --> 00:38:14,700
Yes!

956
00:38:14,834 --> 00:38:15,800
[Jake] See, Charles?

957
00:38:15,934 --> 00:38:17,300
Everyone wants in.

958
00:38:17,433 --> 00:38:19,400
Please, I'm begging you.

959
00:38:19,533 --> 00:38:22,300
There's no one else,
and the kids are waiting.

960
00:38:22,433 --> 00:38:32,400
I'll give you an hour.

961
00:38:33,166 --> 00:38:42,367
Merry Christmas.

962
00:38:42,500 --> 00:38:46,133
Here to make your wish?

963
00:38:46,266 --> 00:38:52,200
I'm...
here to fix Santa's beard.

964
00:38:52,333 --> 00:38:53,066
Who's in charge here?

965
00:38:53,200 --> 00:38:54,734
Where's Jake?

966
00:38:54,867 --> 00:38:56,667
What's wrong with my beard?

967
00:38:56,800 --> 00:38:58,500
If you're going
to do something,

968
00:38:58,633 --> 00:39:02,066
you can't do it halfway.

969
00:39:02,200 --> 00:39:03,900
You sound a lot like my Bea.

970
00:39:04,033 --> 00:39:06,367
She was an all or nothing girl.

971
00:39:06,500 --> 00:39:10,800
She sounds like a wise woman.

972
00:39:10,934 --> 00:39:14,867
You were lucky to have her.

973
00:39:15,000 --> 00:39:18,066
I should, um...

974
00:39:18,200 --> 00:39:25,867
get back to the tavern.

975
00:39:26,000 --> 00:39:28,100
Okay, who's next?

976
00:39:28,233 --> 00:39:29,700
Climb aboard, Izzy.

977
00:39:29,834 --> 00:39:31,033
You know, Anderson,

978
00:39:31,166 --> 00:39:33,533
if things don't work out for you
at the hospital,

979
00:39:33,667 --> 00:39:35,967
I see a future for you
in elfin arts.

980
00:39:36,100 --> 00:39:36,867
Haha.

981
00:39:37,000 --> 00:39:37,867
[giggles]

982
00:39:38,000 --> 00:39:39,033
Tell Santa your wish, kiddo.

983
00:39:39,166 --> 00:39:40,200
Mr. Santa,

984
00:39:40,333 --> 00:39:42,800
this year, I'd like to wish
for a bicycle,

985
00:39:42,934 --> 00:39:44,567
a dollhouse,
a sewing machine, a--

986
00:39:44,700 --> 00:39:45,900
Whoa!

987
00:39:46,033 --> 00:39:47,367
Slow down, young lady.

988
00:39:47,500 --> 00:39:48,633
Mr. Santa,

989
00:39:48,767 --> 00:39:49,934
most of all,

990
00:39:50,066 --> 00:39:51,767
I want to see
my new friend, Charles,

991
00:39:51,900 --> 00:39:56,233
smile again.

992
00:39:56,367 --> 00:40:00,266
That's a very generous wish.

993
00:40:00,400 --> 00:40:04,266
[sighing wearily]

994
00:40:04,400 --> 00:40:05,633
Well,

995
00:40:05,767 --> 00:40:07,133
that was shockingly exhausting.

996
00:40:07,266 --> 00:40:08,133
[chuckling] Yeah,

997
00:40:08,266 --> 00:40:09,266
and actually,

998
00:40:09,400 --> 00:40:11,066
I was kind of hoping
to sit on Santa's lap,

999
00:40:11,200 --> 00:40:14,033
but the kids
had dibs on his time.

1000
00:40:14,166 --> 00:40:15,533
Childhood has its perks.

1001
00:40:15,667 --> 00:40:17,600
What would you have
wished for?

1002
00:40:17,734 --> 00:40:18,800
Oh, well,

1003
00:40:18,934 --> 00:40:21,467
there's a first edition
of Jane Austen's Emma

1004
00:40:21,600 --> 00:40:22,967
that I've been coveting.

1005
00:40:23,100 --> 00:40:24,433
What about you,

1006
00:40:24,567 --> 00:40:25,934
a new stethoscope or something?

1007
00:40:26,066 --> 00:40:27,100
No, no, I've got
plenty of those.

1008
00:40:27,233 --> 00:40:29,133
Actually, I like--
I like your idea.

1009
00:40:29,266 --> 00:40:30,033
I think I'm plagiarizing you.

1010
00:40:30,166 --> 00:40:31,700
Yeah?

1011
00:40:31,834 --> 00:40:33,100
I've been meaning to read
more Jane Austen.

1012
00:40:33,233 --> 00:40:34,467
Oh!

1013
00:40:34,600 --> 00:40:35,567
Oh, ho!

1014
00:40:35,700 --> 00:40:41,633
[laughing]

1015
00:40:41,767 --> 00:40:43,433
Hey there.

1016
00:40:43,567 --> 00:40:45,400
You burst in here like
you're running from someone.

1017
00:40:45,533 --> 00:40:48,533
No, no, I'm just...

1018
00:40:48,667 --> 00:40:50,934
I'm avoiding a conversation
with Diane,

1019
00:40:51,066 --> 00:40:52,100
to be completely honest.

1020
00:40:52,233 --> 00:40:53,266
Oh.

1021
00:40:53,400 --> 00:40:55,600
We need to sit down
and have a real conversation,

1022
00:40:55,734 --> 00:40:58,934
but I just freeze up
every time I see her.

1023
00:40:59,066 --> 00:41:00,433
Hmm.

1024
00:41:00,567 --> 00:41:01,467
Tell me more.

1025
00:41:01,600 --> 00:41:02,967
I forgot to call the plumber,

1026
00:41:03,100 --> 00:41:06,166
which is just a tiny thing,

1027
00:41:06,300 --> 00:41:09,667
but it's another example
of me just freezing up.

1028
00:41:09,800 --> 00:41:13,000
She treats me like an employee,
not a partner.

1029
00:41:13,133 --> 00:41:14,433
Reminds me of me and Judy.

1030
00:41:14,567 --> 00:41:18,934
I'm always letting something
fall through the cracks.

1031
00:41:19,066 --> 00:41:21,867
Is it really about the plumber, though?

1032
00:41:22,000 --> 00:41:22,934
Who knows?

1033
00:41:23,066 --> 00:41:25,000
Ever since Diane made partner,

1034
00:41:25,133 --> 00:41:28,200
she's been so stressed
with work.

1035
00:41:28,333 --> 00:41:31,100
I just want to go back
to when things were simpler.

1036
00:41:31,233 --> 00:41:32,967
When was the last time
you had a date night

1037
00:41:33,100 --> 00:41:34,834
that was just about
the two of you,

1038
00:41:34,967 --> 00:41:36,266
not your task-lists?

1039
00:41:36,400 --> 00:41:37,367
Huh...

1040
00:41:37,500 --> 00:41:38,934
No idea.

1041
00:41:39,066 --> 00:41:42,467
We've been so caught up
with our frustrations,

1042
00:41:42,600 --> 00:41:44,333
not our romance.

1043
00:41:44,467 --> 00:41:46,100
May I suggest

1044
00:41:46,233 --> 00:41:47,767
taking a time-out
from the acrimony?

1045
00:41:47,900 --> 00:41:49,100
Try to remember

1046
00:41:49,233 --> 00:41:54,533
why you fell in love
to begin with.

1047
00:41:54,667 --> 00:41:55,934
Yeah.

1048
00:41:56,066 --> 00:42:06,100
Thanks.

1049
00:42:25,567 --> 00:42:29,166
I have to admit,
this place is pretty magical.

1050
00:42:29,300 --> 00:42:32,367
Do you have the same events
and artisans every year?

1051
00:42:32,500 --> 00:42:33,400
[Jake] Pretty much.

1052
00:42:33,533 --> 00:42:35,166
Most are annual traditions,

1053
00:42:35,300 --> 00:42:36,000
but some are new,

1054
00:42:36,133 --> 00:42:37,834
and we escalate,

1055
00:42:37,967 --> 00:42:39,433
as we get to the final
Night of Wunder.

1056
00:42:39,567 --> 00:42:41,433
Wait, "Night of Wunder"?

1057
00:42:41,567 --> 00:42:43,934
Okay, that is not
a coincidence,

1058
00:42:44,066 --> 00:42:46,367
that is straight out of a book
I loved as a kid.

1059
00:42:46,500 --> 00:42:47,867
It was...

1060
00:42:48,000 --> 00:42:49,600
Oh! A Wunderbrook
Christmas Story.

1061
00:42:49,734 --> 00:42:50,667
[Diane] Oh, yeah!

1062
00:42:50,800 --> 00:42:52,266
A Wunderbrook Christmas Story.

1063
00:42:52,400 --> 00:42:53,667
I knew this seemed familiar.

1064
00:42:53,800 --> 00:42:55,000
Okay, so you've read it, too?

1065
00:42:55,133 --> 00:42:57,033
[Diane] Oh, yeah.
I loved it back in the day.

1066
00:42:57,166 --> 00:42:58,066
My cousin and I
would read it to each other

1067
00:42:58,200 --> 00:42:59,233
over and over again.

1068
00:42:59,367 --> 00:43:00,667
That's what Talia and I
used to do

1069
00:43:00,800 --> 00:43:01,667
before she moved away.

1070
00:43:01,800 --> 00:43:02,900
Hold on a second.

1071
00:43:03,033 --> 00:43:09,266
My mother gave it to me, too.

1072
00:43:09,400 --> 00:43:10,233
Hey, are you,

1073
00:43:10,367 --> 00:43:11,500
are you familiar

1074
00:43:11,633 --> 00:43:13,834
with A Wunderbrook
Christmas Story?

1075
00:43:13,967 --> 00:43:15,834
Sure, it's a classic.

1076
00:43:15,967 --> 00:43:17,000
Why do you ask?

1077
00:43:17,133 --> 00:43:19,000
It's just, it's been
a favorite of ours

1078
00:43:19,133 --> 00:43:20,767
since we were kids, so...

1079
00:43:20,900 --> 00:43:21,633
I'm surprised
it's still popular

1080
00:43:21,767 --> 00:43:24,567
with your generation.

1081
00:43:24,700 --> 00:43:26,166
I'm going to turn in.

1082
00:43:26,300 --> 00:43:27,433
Goodnight.

1083
00:43:27,567 --> 00:43:28,967
Okay.

1084
00:43:29,100 --> 00:43:31,166
We've all read
the same Christmas book,

1085
00:43:31,300 --> 00:43:32,133
and we've all
mysteriously arrived

1086
00:43:32,266 --> 00:43:34,800
in the same village?

1087
00:43:34,934 --> 00:43:36,500
I know my imagination
is a little overactive,

1088
00:43:36,633 --> 00:43:38,667
but this is too much.

1089
00:43:38,800 --> 00:43:41,500
What is going on?

1090
00:43:41,633 --> 00:43:46,233
Excuse me a second.

1091
00:43:46,367 --> 00:43:47,567
How was the--

1092
00:43:47,700 --> 00:43:50,600
What can you tell me
about "inner conflict"?

1093
00:43:50,734 --> 00:43:52,567
Is that the name
of a rock 'n' roll group?

1094
00:43:52,700 --> 00:43:53,967
I'm afraid
I'm not too up to date

1095
00:43:54,100 --> 00:43:56,233
with my pop-culture facts.

1096
00:43:56,367 --> 00:43:59,233
Level with me, Judy.

1097
00:43:59,367 --> 00:44:02,633
There's something
very curious going on here.

1098
00:44:02,767 --> 00:44:06,233
Have you been sneaking
into my spiked eggnog reserves?

1099
00:44:06,367 --> 00:44:07,200
[chuckles]

1100
00:44:07,333 --> 00:44:10,000
I'm serious.

1101
00:44:10,133 --> 00:44:11,367
Wouldn't you agree

1102
00:44:11,500 --> 00:44:12,500
it's a little odd

1103
00:44:12,633 --> 00:44:14,033
that all five of your guests

1104
00:44:14,166 --> 00:44:17,367
have old copies of
A Wunderbrook Christmas Story?

1105
00:44:17,500 --> 00:44:19,233
Not really.

1106
00:44:19,367 --> 00:44:21,734
It was a major best-seller
in its heyday.

1107
00:44:21,867 --> 00:44:24,834
Okay, but all your events
come from the book.

1108
00:44:24,967 --> 00:44:27,800
How do you explain that?

1109
00:44:27,934 --> 00:44:30,834
I admit,
we borrow some of their ideas.

1110
00:44:30,967 --> 00:44:33,066
I didn't realize that was
a copyright infringement.

1111
00:44:33,200 --> 00:44:34,834
Right.

1112
00:44:34,967 --> 00:44:35,867
Of course, it isn't.

1113
00:44:36,000 --> 00:44:38,667
[chuckles]

1114
00:44:38,800 --> 00:44:40,400
I'm sorry I came at you
with so much intensity.

1115
00:44:40,533 --> 00:44:43,834
I just sometimes get an idea,
and I run away with it, and...

1116
00:44:43,967 --> 00:44:46,867
...yeah.

1117
00:44:47,000 --> 00:44:50,567
Goodnight!

1118
00:44:50,700 --> 00:44:53,500
[sighs in relief]

1119
00:44:53,633 --> 00:44:55,000
[Narrator]
Wunderbrook's secret

1120
00:44:55,133 --> 00:44:57,633
was kept safe
by the Fairy Queen,

1121
00:44:57,767 --> 00:45:04,967
but for how long?

1122
00:45:05,100 --> 00:45:10,400
[Narrator] Chapter five.

1123
00:45:10,533 --> 00:45:12,066
[door opening]

1124
00:45:12,200 --> 00:45:14,266
Hello?
Earth to Talia?

1125
00:45:14,400 --> 00:45:20,834
- Oh, hi.
- Hey.

1126
00:45:20,967 --> 00:45:23,333
Sorry, I'm just looking up
images of Wunderbrook,

1127
00:45:23,467 --> 00:45:25,266
trying to refresh my memory.

1128
00:45:25,400 --> 00:45:27,433
I thought Judy talked you
out of that conspiracy theory.

1129
00:45:27,567 --> 00:45:29,967
Ooh, I just
lost my connection.

1130
00:45:30,100 --> 00:45:31,066
[sighs with exasperation]

1131
00:45:31,200 --> 00:45:32,767
Maybe that's
not such a bad thing.

1132
00:45:32,900 --> 00:45:33,967
Oh.

1133
00:45:34,100 --> 00:45:35,400
Thank you.

1134
00:45:35,533 --> 00:45:40,066
- Cheers.
- Cheers.

1135
00:45:40,200 --> 00:45:43,433
Mm!

1136
00:45:43,567 --> 00:45:44,600
[Jake] For today's activity,

1137
00:45:44,734 --> 00:45:47,633
you are not casual
Christmas enthusiasts.

1138
00:45:47,767 --> 00:45:48,567
Instead,

1139
00:45:48,700 --> 00:45:50,166
you are craft specialists.

1140
00:45:50,300 --> 00:45:52,000
Aye-aye, Captain.
What are we making?

1141
00:45:52,133 --> 00:45:52,900
Christmas stockings,

1142
00:45:53,033 --> 00:45:54,100
and if you'd like,

1143
00:45:54,233 --> 00:45:55,500
you can leave them
on the inn's mantel

1144
00:45:55,633 --> 00:45:56,767
as a memento of your stay.

1145
00:45:56,900 --> 00:46:00,633
[entry bell jingles]

1146
00:46:00,767 --> 00:46:03,233
I just thought it was
about time

1147
00:46:03,367 --> 00:46:04,867
I joined the merriment.

1148
00:46:05,000 --> 00:46:13,867
Let's get started.

1149
00:46:14,000 --> 00:46:15,133
That looks...

1150
00:46:15,266 --> 00:46:16,734
interesting.

1151
00:46:16,867 --> 00:46:19,500
I have a vision
for a baroque design,

1152
00:46:19,633 --> 00:46:20,967
but I think my eyes
might be bigger

1153
00:46:21,100 --> 00:46:22,967
than my artistic aptitudes.

1154
00:46:23,100 --> 00:46:25,533
Well, it's the thought
that counts.

1155
00:46:25,667 --> 00:46:27,633
Oh, yours is perfect, Anderson.

1156
00:46:27,767 --> 00:46:30,000
Looks like you're putting
your surgical dexterity

1157
00:46:30,133 --> 00:46:31,500
to good use over there, Doc.

1158
00:46:31,633 --> 00:46:33,200
Thank you.

1159
00:46:33,333 --> 00:46:35,300
So, Diane and I will be
flying out of Seattle

1160
00:46:35,433 --> 00:46:36,467
when we go home.

1161
00:46:36,600 --> 00:46:39,467
I thought we could make
a date night of it.

1162
00:46:39,600 --> 00:46:41,000
Really?

1163
00:46:41,133 --> 00:46:42,700
Oh, that's so nice.

1164
00:46:42,834 --> 00:46:46,066
I don't remember the last time
we had a date night.

1165
00:46:46,200 --> 00:46:48,333
Do you have any suggestions
of restaurants that we can go to

1166
00:46:48,467 --> 00:46:49,367
for a special occasion?

1167
00:46:49,500 --> 00:46:51,200
- Yeah, Francesco's.
- Francesco's.

1168
00:46:51,333 --> 00:46:53,066
- You've been?
- Yeah.

1169
00:46:53,200 --> 00:46:54,166
I've been dying to go.

1170
00:46:54,300 --> 00:46:57,467
I took my first ever
dating-site match there

1171
00:46:57,600 --> 00:46:58,467
a few months ago.

1172
00:46:58,600 --> 00:47:00,467
She spent the whole dinner

1173
00:47:00,600 --> 00:47:01,967
asking me about
her mom's medications.

1174
00:47:02,100 --> 00:47:03,300
Oh.

1175
00:47:03,433 --> 00:47:06,266
Well, he's married
to his work anyway.

1176
00:47:06,400 --> 00:47:07,900
- Aren't you?
- Yeah.

1177
00:47:08,033 --> 00:47:11,867
For years I was consumed
by my surgical residency,

1178
00:47:12,000 --> 00:47:13,567
but...

1179
00:47:13,700 --> 00:47:15,233
now I think

1180
00:47:15,367 --> 00:47:17,233
maybe I am ready to find
the right person

1181
00:47:17,367 --> 00:47:20,266
to share my life with.

1182
00:47:20,400 --> 00:47:21,967
[Charles] Well, you better
get back on that app then.

1183
00:47:22,100 --> 00:47:23,767
You know, I actually
think it's better

1184
00:47:23,900 --> 00:47:25,066
just to meet in real life,

1185
00:47:25,200 --> 00:47:26,867
you know, more organic.

1186
00:47:27,000 --> 00:47:28,700
Yeah, like
Keith and Diane did.

1187
00:47:28,834 --> 00:47:31,600
Oh, when we first met,
I wasn't looking to settle down.

1188
00:47:31,734 --> 00:47:33,266
We were so young.

1189
00:47:33,400 --> 00:47:41,300
But when you know...

1190
00:47:41,433 --> 00:47:42,233
Jake called to check in.

1191
00:47:42,367 --> 00:47:43,400
Sounds like the group

1192
00:47:43,533 --> 00:47:44,867
is really starting
to open up to each other.

1193
00:47:45,000 --> 00:47:45,900
[sighs] Good,

1194
00:47:46,033 --> 00:47:47,133
but sharing stories

1195
00:47:47,266 --> 00:47:48,133
isn't going to be enough
to complete our mission.

1196
00:47:48,266 --> 00:47:49,367
You know that.

1197
00:47:49,500 --> 00:47:51,400
No, but it is a step
in the right direction.

1198
00:47:51,533 --> 00:47:52,967
Perhaps, but beyond that,

1199
00:47:53,100 --> 00:47:55,467
I think Talia is starting
to put things together.

1200
00:47:55,600 --> 00:47:56,700
She's clever, that one.

1201
00:47:56,834 --> 00:47:58,033
Relax, honey.
It's a good sign.

1202
00:47:58,166 --> 00:47:59,867
She's using the gift
of her imagination.

1203
00:48:00,066 --> 00:48:03,667
How did you get to be
so optimistic?

1204
00:48:03,800 --> 00:48:05,200
Would you have me be
any other way?

1205
00:48:05,333 --> 00:48:09,166
You know I wouldn't.

1206
00:48:09,300 --> 00:48:10,867
Isn't that fun?

1207
00:48:11,000 --> 00:48:12,967
[Judy] Ah, there you are!

1208
00:48:13,100 --> 00:48:14,834
Diane and Keith are going to
come hang their stockings later,

1209
00:48:14,967 --> 00:48:16,000
but you guys can do it now.

1210
00:48:16,133 --> 00:48:18,667
Okay.

1211
00:48:18,800 --> 00:48:21,767
So cute.
[laughing]

1212
00:48:21,900 --> 00:48:22,934
Oh, that looks so good.

1213
00:48:23,066 --> 00:48:33,033
[chuckling]

1214
00:48:33,467 --> 00:48:34,533
Are these past Wunder Weeks?

1215
00:48:34,667 --> 00:48:35,533
Yeah.

1216
00:48:35,667 --> 00:48:36,834
Indeed.

1217
00:48:36,967 --> 00:48:38,633
We used to get
a lot more visitors here

1218
00:48:38,767 --> 00:48:39,667
in the past,

1219
00:48:39,800 --> 00:48:42,800
but quality over quantity, right?

1220
00:48:42,934 --> 00:48:44,266
Oh, Miles,

1221
00:48:44,400 --> 00:48:47,100
you forgot to take a photo
of our group this year!

1222
00:48:47,233 --> 00:48:48,033
Again!

1223
00:48:48,166 --> 00:48:49,467
Oh.

1224
00:48:49,600 --> 00:48:51,700
Get in there. Great.

1225
00:48:51,834 --> 00:48:52,700
Aw, you guys look great.

1226
00:48:52,834 --> 00:48:53,967
Okay, ready?

1227
00:48:54,100 --> 00:48:54,867
Say "tinsel"!

1228
00:48:55,000 --> 00:48:56,300
One, two, three!

1229
00:48:56,433 --> 00:48:58,500
[together] Tinsel!

1230
00:48:58,633 --> 00:49:07,400
[Miles] Got it!

1231
00:49:07,533 --> 00:49:08,400
Hey.

1232
00:49:08,533 --> 00:49:09,900
You okay?

1233
00:49:10,033 --> 00:49:11,066
You look upset.

1234
00:49:11,200 --> 00:49:13,867
Still mulling
the Wunderbrook connection?

1235
00:49:14,000 --> 00:49:15,033
Oh, no, no.

1236
00:49:15,166 --> 00:49:17,233
I'm just about to head
to Mildred's to write.

1237
00:49:17,367 --> 00:49:19,033
I need a quiet space

1238
00:49:19,166 --> 00:49:22,500
and no one's ever there.

1239
00:49:22,633 --> 00:49:28,533
Yeah, thanks.

1240
00:49:28,667 --> 00:49:30,367
I just, um,

1241
00:49:30,500 --> 00:49:32,033
keep thinking
about Keith and Diane.

1242
00:49:32,166 --> 00:49:35,100
I hope they work it out,
you know?

1243
00:49:35,233 --> 00:49:38,266
Yeah.

1244
00:49:38,400 --> 00:49:39,600
What about you?

1245
00:49:39,734 --> 00:49:41,867
You, uh, thinking about
going back to the app?

1246
00:49:42,000 --> 00:49:44,100
[chuckles]

1247
00:49:44,233 --> 00:49:46,033
Maybe?

1248
00:49:46,166 --> 00:49:47,834
[sighs] Like I said,

1249
00:49:47,967 --> 00:49:50,567
dating hasn't been a priority
in a long time,

1250
00:49:50,700 --> 00:49:52,066
but...

1251
00:49:52,200 --> 00:49:53,033
I'd like to make it one.

1252
00:49:53,166 --> 00:49:54,900
And you?

1253
00:49:55,033 --> 00:49:56,066
Gonna get back out there?

1254
00:49:56,200 --> 00:49:58,166
Oh, uh, no...

1255
00:49:58,300 --> 00:49:59,433
I don't know.

1256
00:49:59,567 --> 00:50:00,700
The next guy on my radar

1257
00:50:00,834 --> 00:50:05,166
will probably think
I'm too outlandish.

1258
00:50:05,300 --> 00:50:07,767
Yeah, like
my last boyfriend did.

1259
00:50:07,900 --> 00:50:08,900
That's just 'cause
he didn't realize

1260
00:50:09,033 --> 00:50:10,200
what a catch you are.

1261
00:50:10,333 --> 00:50:12,767
Oh, well,

1262
00:50:12,900 --> 00:50:14,533
he is not the first guy
to accuse me

1263
00:50:14,667 --> 00:50:15,767
of getting lost in my daydreams.

1264
00:50:15,900 --> 00:50:17,166
[chuckling]

1265
00:50:17,300 --> 00:50:18,934
Well, I always thought
your overactive imagination

1266
00:50:19,066 --> 00:50:21,200
was part of your charm.

1267
00:50:21,333 --> 00:50:23,033
Besides, isn't teasing
what boys do

1268
00:50:23,166 --> 00:50:24,333
when they have a crush?

1269
00:50:24,467 --> 00:50:25,867
Why do you think
I was always coming around

1270
00:50:26,000 --> 00:50:28,767
to give you a hard time?

1271
00:50:28,900 --> 00:50:37,700
[chuckles]

1272
00:50:37,834 --> 00:50:40,233
Can we talk?

1273
00:50:40,367 --> 00:50:50,333
Yeah.

1274
00:50:53,166 --> 00:50:59,200
I feel like
we've become strangers, Keith.

1275
00:50:59,333 --> 00:51:02,233
I definitely feel
the distance between us,

1276
00:51:02,367 --> 00:51:03,633
especially
since you went for partner.

1277
00:51:03,767 --> 00:51:05,667
I feel it, too,

1278
00:51:05,800 --> 00:51:08,600
and I know I ask a lot,

1279
00:51:08,734 --> 00:51:10,800
and that I've been
putting work first,

1280
00:51:10,934 --> 00:51:12,433
and it's hard on you,

1281
00:51:12,567 --> 00:51:14,233
and us.

1282
00:51:14,367 --> 00:51:16,000
Thank you,

1283
00:51:16,133 --> 00:51:18,834
for acknowledging that.

1284
00:51:18,967 --> 00:51:21,600
But it's not all on you, D.

1285
00:51:21,734 --> 00:51:25,467
I know I haven't adjusted
as well as I should.

1286
00:51:25,600 --> 00:51:27,100
I just...

1287
00:51:27,233 --> 00:51:29,667
miss you.

1288
00:51:29,800 --> 00:51:31,633
We were always
each other's rocks.

1289
00:51:31,767 --> 00:51:34,900
I'm your rock?

1290
00:51:35,033 --> 00:51:36,233
You miss me?

1291
00:51:36,367 --> 00:51:38,133
Yeah.

1292
00:51:38,266 --> 00:51:47,166
Well, I can be
pretty great, huh?

1293
00:51:47,300 --> 00:51:50,166
I know you're going to make
a great partner,

1294
00:51:50,300 --> 00:51:51,667
and I'm here for you,

1295
00:51:51,800 --> 00:51:53,967
that's never going to change.

1296
00:51:54,100 --> 00:52:02,133
I just need my partner, too.

1297
00:52:02,266 --> 00:52:05,567
I need you, Diane.

1298
00:52:05,700 --> 00:52:11,467
I need you, too, Keith.

1299
00:52:11,600 --> 00:52:17,233
I need you.

1300
00:52:17,367 --> 00:52:18,533
The magic wish...

1301
00:52:18,667 --> 00:52:23,500
kiss...

1302
00:52:23,633 --> 00:52:26,667
Um, Mildred, can I get
a little more coffee?

1303
00:52:26,800 --> 00:52:35,467
I'm on a roll here
with my story.

1304
00:52:35,600 --> 00:52:36,834
You're brave.

1305
00:52:36,967 --> 00:52:37,867
Hmm?

1306
00:52:38,000 --> 00:52:39,667
Only a select few ever make it

1307
00:52:39,800 --> 00:52:43,033
as professional writers.

1308
00:52:43,166 --> 00:52:47,467
Personally, I couldn't handle
the disappointment.

1309
00:52:47,600 --> 00:52:48,967
Well, that's true.

1310
00:52:49,100 --> 00:52:51,967
I mean, it hasn't always
been easy.

1311
00:52:52,100 --> 00:52:55,133
You have to have
the perfect storm

1312
00:52:55,266 --> 00:52:56,400
of luck,

1313
00:52:56,533 --> 00:52:57,800
talent,

1314
00:52:57,934 --> 00:53:00,633
and circumstance.

1315
00:53:00,767 --> 00:53:06,800
It's probably more likely
to win the lottery.

1316
00:53:06,934 --> 00:53:07,934
Yeah.

1317
00:53:08,066 --> 00:53:09,533
Well, thank you, Mildred,

1318
00:53:09,667 --> 00:53:19,633
that's really sage advice.

1319
00:53:47,266 --> 00:53:48,600
[Narrator]
Wunderbrook's charm

1320
00:53:48,734 --> 00:53:49,700
may be helping some,

1321
00:53:49,834 --> 00:53:51,300
but others' dreams
remained challenged

1322
00:53:51,433 --> 00:54:01,467
by a sprinkle of doubt.

1323

[Narrator] Chapter six.

1324
00:54:08,367 --> 00:54:09,700
Where's Diane and Keith
this morning?

1325
00:54:09,834 --> 00:54:11,367
I don't know.

1326
00:54:11,500 --> 00:54:13,400
They're usually up
before everyone, aren't they?

1327
00:54:13,533 --> 00:54:14,734
Let me guess,

1328
00:54:14,867 --> 00:54:16,500
you're imagining some scenario

1329
00:54:16,633 --> 00:54:18,867
in which they're trapped
in the bottom of a well?

1330
00:54:19,000 --> 00:54:20,433
Please, that's so basic.

1331
00:54:20,567 --> 00:54:21,433
[chuckling]

1332
00:54:21,567 --> 00:54:23,500
Are you leaving?
So soon?

1333
00:54:23,633 --> 00:54:24,567
We are.

1334
00:54:24,700 --> 00:54:26,934
We talked last night.

1335
00:54:27,066 --> 00:54:28,700
Really talked.

1336
00:54:28,834 --> 00:54:30,166
How'd that go?

1337
00:54:30,300 --> 00:54:33,367
We realized
we missed what we had,

1338
00:54:33,500 --> 00:54:36,100
and as a wise person
once told me,

1339
00:54:36,233 --> 00:54:37,233
it's all so fleeting.

1340
00:54:37,367 --> 00:54:39,600
We want to make
our marriage work,

1341
00:54:39,734 --> 00:54:42,200
and as lovely
as this village is,

1342
00:54:42,333 --> 00:54:43,700
and as warmly
as we have been welcomed,

1343
00:54:43,834 --> 00:54:46,266
we need to spend some time
with each other.

1344
00:54:46,400 --> 00:54:49,767
Get back
to why we fell in love.

1345
00:54:49,900 --> 00:54:53,533
And it's been so good
getting to know you.

1346
00:54:53,667 --> 00:54:55,867
You as well, but don't think
you're getting rid of us

1347
00:54:56,000 --> 00:54:56,900
so soon,

1348
00:54:57,033 --> 00:54:59,166
we're going to visit you
in Seattle.

1349
00:54:59,300 --> 00:55:00,934
[Judy] Goodbye, Diane.

1350
00:55:01,066 --> 00:55:02,266
[Anderson] It was
so nice to meet you, man.

1351
00:55:02,400 --> 00:55:04,967
[Judy] It has been our honor
having you here with us.

1352
00:55:05,100 --> 00:55:06,100
Thank you, everyone.

1353
00:55:06,233 --> 00:55:07,433
Happy holidays, everyone. Bye.

1354
00:55:07,567 --> 00:55:08,567
Happy holidays.

1355
00:55:08,700 --> 00:55:10,834
- Enjoy the rest of your stay.
- Merry Christmas.

1356
00:55:10,967 --> 00:55:12,100
[sighs]

1357
00:55:12,233 --> 00:55:13,934
[bell chimes]

1358
00:55:14,066 --> 00:55:16,633
- Did you hear that?
- Yeah.

1359
00:55:16,767 --> 00:55:17,667
Maybe it's coming
from outside?

1360
00:55:17,800 --> 00:55:21,333
Must be it.

1361
00:55:21,467 --> 00:55:23,967
Well, today
is our famous market day,

1362
00:55:24,100 --> 00:55:31,133
not to be missed.

1363
00:55:31,266 --> 00:55:32,967
Charles.

1364
00:55:33,100 --> 00:55:33,900
Something I can help you with?

1365
00:55:34,033 --> 00:55:35,233
Um, I don't suppose

1366
00:55:35,367 --> 00:55:42,233
you've got any extra
Christmas decorations around?

1367
00:55:42,367 --> 00:55:44,233
[entry bell jingles]

1368
00:55:44,367 --> 00:55:47,300
Are those...

1369
00:55:47,433 --> 00:55:48,400
...decorations?

1370
00:55:48,533 --> 00:55:50,800
Nope.

1371
00:55:50,934 --> 00:55:53,567
Judy let me borrow them
from the inn.

1372
00:55:53,700 --> 00:55:55,233
Thought you and I
could spruce up the joint.

1373
00:55:55,367 --> 00:55:56,266
I told you,

1374
00:55:56,400 --> 00:55:58,567
I'm over all that.

1375
00:55:58,700 --> 00:56:01,300
Well, get under it.

1376
00:56:01,433 --> 00:56:03,834
You know, I never thought
I'd celebrate the season again,

1377
00:56:03,967 --> 00:56:07,166
but my time here
has been quite eye-opening.

1378
00:56:07,300 --> 00:56:08,734
How wonderful.

1379
00:56:08,867 --> 00:56:11,200
Another satisfied customer.

1380
00:56:11,333 --> 00:56:13,000
Judy will be tickled.

1381
00:56:13,133 --> 00:56:14,233
Frankly,

1382
00:56:14,367 --> 00:56:15,834
I've been bitter
about the holidays,

1383
00:56:15,967 --> 00:56:17,734
but if I'm being honest,

1384
00:56:17,867 --> 00:56:22,834
it's because I've been lonely...

1385
00:56:22,967 --> 00:56:26,300
...and I think
you might be, too.

1386
00:56:26,433 --> 00:56:27,367
[scoffs]

1387
00:56:27,500 --> 00:56:30,000
Come on, humor me.

1388
00:56:30,133 --> 00:56:34,834
A little tinsel
never hurt anybody.

1389
00:56:34,967 --> 00:56:35,867
Fine,

1390
00:56:36,000 --> 00:56:37,900
but if anyone asks,

1391
00:56:38,033 --> 00:56:40,367
you broke in here
and did all this yourself.

1392
00:56:40,500 --> 00:56:44,800
Consider me guilty as charged.

1393
00:56:44,934 --> 00:56:47,700
Here.

1394
00:56:47,834 --> 00:56:49,233
I made it myself.

1395
00:56:49,367 --> 00:56:51,133
You made this?

1396
00:56:51,266 --> 00:56:53,500
For me?

1397
00:56:53,633 --> 00:56:54,533
With my eyesight,

1398
00:56:54,667 --> 00:56:56,200
my skills aren't
what they used to be.

1399
00:56:56,333 --> 00:57:01,300
Try not to judge
the workmanship.

1400
00:57:01,433 --> 00:57:02,533
[sighs]

1401
00:57:02,667 --> 00:57:05,700
It's perfect.

1402
00:57:05,834 --> 00:57:08,533
No one has thought
to do anything this nice for me

1403
00:57:08,667 --> 00:57:13,300
in a very long time.

1404
00:57:13,433 --> 00:57:16,767
Thank you.

1405
00:57:16,900 --> 00:57:19,300
I got you an ornament
with a surgeon's mask,

1406
00:57:19,433 --> 00:57:21,066
and it is so you.

1407
00:57:21,200 --> 00:57:22,133
Do you want to see?

1408
00:57:22,266 --> 00:57:23,633
Yeah.

1409
00:57:23,767 --> 00:57:25,633
[laughs] Isn't it cute?

1410
00:57:25,767 --> 00:57:27,433
Yeah.

1411
00:57:27,567 --> 00:57:29,533
Yeah, thank you.

1412
00:57:29,667 --> 00:57:32,300
Are you okay?

1413
00:57:32,433 --> 00:57:34,033
Yeah.

1414
00:57:34,166 --> 00:57:36,266
Yeah, I just... I don't know.

1415
00:57:36,400 --> 00:57:41,767
I don't know if I can continue
to practice medicine.

1416
00:57:41,900 --> 00:57:44,633
Look, I'm not very good
at letting people in,

1417
00:57:44,767 --> 00:57:47,867
but you're also
not just people, so...

1418
00:57:48,000 --> 00:57:50,934
I'm going to share
something with you

1419
00:57:51,066 --> 00:57:52,367
that I'd really like
to stay between us.

1420
00:57:52,500 --> 00:57:55,800
Yeah, you got it.

1421
00:57:55,934 --> 00:58:02,767
All right.
[clears throat]

1422
00:58:02,900 --> 00:58:03,767
[sighs]

1423
00:58:03,900 --> 00:58:06,433
A few weeks ago,
I had a patient in

1424
00:58:06,567 --> 00:58:07,834
for a routine appendectomy,

1425
00:58:07,967 --> 00:58:12,633
which ordinarily is a procedure
that I can perform in my sleep,

1426
00:58:12,767 --> 00:58:15,100
but the patient developed peritonitis

1427
00:58:15,233 --> 00:58:16,266
and then sepsis,

1428
00:58:16,400 --> 00:58:17,333
and I couldn't save them.

1429
00:58:17,467 --> 00:58:20,533
Oh, Anderson,

1430
00:58:20,667 --> 00:58:23,633
I'm so sorry.

1431
00:58:23,767 --> 00:58:26,266
Was this the first patient
you've lost?

1432
00:58:26,400 --> 00:58:28,000
No,

1433
00:58:28,133 --> 00:58:29,200
but it is the first
that I've lost

1434
00:58:29,333 --> 00:58:31,934
since I've become
the attending in charge,

1435
00:58:32,066 --> 00:58:34,100
and it was devastating.

1436
00:58:34,233 --> 00:58:36,667
I had to deliver the news
to the family,

1437
00:58:36,800 --> 00:58:40,500
which is something
that I've had to do before,

1438
00:58:40,633 --> 00:58:44,333
but something about this one
was different.

1439
00:58:44,467 --> 00:58:46,166
I don't know.

1440
00:58:46,300 --> 00:58:48,667
I have one job,

1441
00:58:48,800 --> 00:58:51,100
and that is to save
their loved one,

1442
00:58:51,233 --> 00:58:53,633
and I couldn't do it,

1443
00:58:53,767 --> 00:58:55,433
and I've been on leave
ever since.

1444
00:58:55,567 --> 00:58:56,700
The hospital put you on leave?

1445
00:58:56,834 --> 00:58:58,000
No.

1446
00:58:58,133 --> 00:59:00,333
I put myself on leave.

1447
00:59:00,467 --> 00:59:01,700
Was there something
you could have done differently

1448
00:59:01,834 --> 00:59:05,600
for the patient?

1449
00:59:05,734 --> 00:59:07,500
No.

1450
00:59:07,633 --> 00:59:08,500
Okay, well then,
it sounds to me

1451
00:59:08,633 --> 00:59:09,667
like you're punishing yourself

1452
00:59:09,800 --> 00:59:11,433
for something that was...

1453
00:59:11,567 --> 00:59:14,834
sadly unavoidable.

1454
00:59:14,967 --> 00:59:16,567
What if it happens again?

1455
00:59:16,700 --> 00:59:19,400
Anderson, do not let
one incident derail you

1456
00:59:19,533 --> 00:59:22,233
from what you were born to do.

1457
00:59:22,367 --> 00:59:23,767
You're a doctor.

1458
00:59:23,900 --> 00:59:27,433
That is your calling.

1459
00:59:27,567 --> 00:59:28,500
Well, speaking of
your calling,

1460
00:59:28,633 --> 00:59:30,000
would you let
a few rejections

1461
00:59:30,133 --> 00:59:31,667
derail you from your career?

1462
00:59:31,800 --> 00:59:32,667
That's your calling.

1463
00:59:32,800 --> 00:59:34,166
Not the same.

1464
00:59:34,300 --> 00:59:35,200
If you say so.

1465
00:59:35,333 --> 00:59:37,867
[chuckling]

1466
00:59:38,000 --> 00:59:40,834
Anyways, thanks for listening.

1467
00:59:40,967 --> 00:59:43,100
It felt good
to get that off my chest.

1468
00:59:43,233 --> 00:59:44,533
Can we keep it between us?

1469
00:59:44,667 --> 00:59:47,834
Of course, of course.

1470
00:59:47,967 --> 00:59:49,867
I'm always here for you.

1471
00:59:50,000 --> 00:59:50,900
I know.

1472
00:59:51,033 --> 00:59:53,066
Same.

1473
00:59:53,200 --> 00:59:54,200
Oh!

1474
00:59:54,333 --> 00:59:57,000
Now, what is going on here?

1475
00:59:57,133 --> 00:59:58,900
You've never seen
Christmas spirit

1476
00:59:59,033 --> 00:59:59,900
on display before?

1477
01:00:00,033 --> 01:00:02,734
Well, it looks fantastic.

1478
01:00:02,867 --> 01:00:04,934
I think we're just about done.

1479
01:00:05,066 --> 01:00:06,867
You'll have to come back
at night

1480
01:00:07,000 --> 01:00:09,000
and see the lights in action.

1481
01:00:09,133 --> 01:00:11,867
It's a date.

1482
01:00:12,000 --> 01:00:13,533
[Talia] And then she giggled!
Mildred.

1483
01:00:13,667 --> 01:00:15,667
I saw it with my own two eyes.

1484
01:00:15,800 --> 01:00:18,100
Charles was positively buoyant.

1485
01:00:18,233 --> 01:00:20,066
He must derive his own joy
from uplifting others.

1486
01:00:20,200 --> 01:00:21,400
That's an intriguing notion.

1487
01:00:21,533 --> 01:00:22,867
Perhaps that's Mildred's gift.

1488
01:00:23,000 --> 01:00:25,834
Helping others find joy
by challenging the status quo.

1489
01:00:25,967 --> 01:00:28,233
And maybe she finds
her own joy along the way.

1490
01:00:28,367 --> 01:00:29,934
Maybe.

1491
01:00:30,066 --> 01:00:31,834
But I think
Charles also has a crush on her.

1492
01:00:31,967 --> 01:00:33,367
Oh, I see.
"Takes one to know one."

1493
01:00:33,500 --> 01:00:36,100
Isn't that the relevant phrase?

1494
01:00:36,233 --> 01:00:38,033
I see the way
you look at Anderson.

1495
01:00:38,166 --> 01:00:39,166
No.

1496
01:00:39,300 --> 01:00:40,233
No, no.

1497
01:00:40,367 --> 01:00:41,367
I look at him normally!

1498
01:00:41,500 --> 01:00:45,100
Ooh, the lady
doth protest too much.

1499
01:00:45,233 --> 01:00:46,200
I admit nothing--

1500
01:00:46,333 --> 01:00:47,900
and hypothetically,
it wouldn't matter anyway.

1501
01:00:48,033 --> 01:00:49,900
We've just resumed
our friendship

1502
01:00:50,033 --> 01:00:52,333
and I would never want
to jeopardize that.

1503
01:00:52,467 --> 01:00:55,000
So, you think telling him
how you feel

1504
01:00:55,133 --> 01:00:57,367
could jeopardize
your relationship?

1505
01:00:57,500 --> 01:00:59,567
Hypothetically?

1506
01:00:59,700 --> 01:01:01,633
Okay. He may have had
a schoolboy crush on me

1507
01:01:01,767 --> 01:01:03,233
when we were kids,

1508
01:01:03,367 --> 01:01:04,667
but he needs
an accomplished woman,

1509
01:01:04,800 --> 01:01:06,000
someone further along
in their career.

1510
01:01:06,133 --> 01:01:09,000
I do not fit
that description.

1511
01:01:09,133 --> 01:01:15,233
Okay, but what if
you're wrong about that?

1512
01:01:15,367 --> 01:01:17,233
[Narrator]
Is it simply Christmas cheer,

1513
01:01:17,367 --> 01:01:18,967
or is something
even more magical

1514
01:01:19,100 --> 01:01:26,867
spreading through Wunderbrook?

1515
01:01:27,000 --> 01:01:32,000
[Narrator] Chapter seven.

1516
01:01:32,133 --> 01:01:33,200
Hey.

1517
01:01:33,333 --> 01:01:34,400
Morning, sunshine.

1518
01:01:34,533 --> 01:01:35,734
Morning.

1519
01:01:35,867 --> 01:01:37,033
Bought you something.

1520
01:01:37,166 --> 01:01:39,233
Oh, thank you.

1521
01:01:39,367 --> 01:01:40,734
Look at you helping out.

1522
01:01:40,867 --> 01:01:42,500
It's like you're teacher's pet.

1523
01:01:42,633 --> 01:01:44,633
No.

1524
01:01:44,767 --> 01:01:45,633
Oh, it's true.
You guys are basically

1525
01:01:45,767 --> 01:01:47,867
the king and queen
of this village.

1526
01:01:48,000 --> 01:01:49,900
No, we're not!

1527
01:01:50,033 --> 01:01:51,400
That's absurd.

1528
01:01:51,533 --> 01:01:52,700
No, I meant you're the mayor

1529
01:01:52,834 --> 01:01:55,533
and Judy's
basically in charge of things?

1530
01:01:55,667 --> 01:01:58,633
It's all a group effort.

1531
01:01:58,767 --> 01:01:59,834
Good morning!

1532
01:01:59,967 --> 01:02:04,200
We're on our way to grab
the bells for the procession.

1533
01:02:04,333 --> 01:02:06,033
The princess and the fool...

1534
01:02:06,166 --> 01:02:07,900
just like in the book.

1535
01:02:08,033 --> 01:02:09,300
- What?
- What?

1536
01:02:09,433 --> 01:02:17,934
Oh, sorry.
I think I'm still half asleep.

1537
01:02:18,066 --> 01:02:19,867
Oh, back again, huh?

1538
01:02:20,000 --> 01:02:22,467
You're going to get
sick of my cooking.

1539
01:02:22,600 --> 01:02:23,600
I doubt that.

1540
01:02:23,734 --> 01:02:25,533
But I'm not here to eat.

1541
01:02:25,667 --> 01:02:27,767
I'm here to invite you

1542
01:02:27,900 --> 01:02:31,133
to accompany me
to the procession tonight.

1543
01:02:31,266 --> 01:02:33,767
You're going to that?

1544
01:02:33,900 --> 01:02:40,800
I was planning to finish
my year-end accounting tonight.

1545
01:02:40,934 --> 01:02:42,233
Mildred,

1546
01:02:42,367 --> 01:02:43,934
it would be my honor

1547
01:02:44,066 --> 01:02:45,266
to escort you this evening.

1548
01:02:45,400 --> 01:02:47,266
Maybe.

1549
01:02:47,400 --> 01:02:57,367
If I can find the time.

1550
01:03:04,066 --> 01:03:04,967
You look beautiful.

1551
01:03:05,100 --> 01:03:07,200
Not that you don't usually--

1552
01:03:07,333 --> 01:03:11,633
you just--
you look extra radiant.

1553
01:03:11,767 --> 01:03:16,133
You look pretty good yourself.

1554
01:03:16,266 --> 01:03:17,333
Judy lent me this coat.

1555
01:03:17,467 --> 01:03:19,800
- Isn't it great?
- Yeah.

1556
01:03:19,934 --> 01:03:23,300
- Shall we?
- Yes.

1557
01:03:23,433 --> 01:03:24,500
- One for you.
- Thank you.

1558
01:03:24,633 --> 01:03:27,133
One for you.

1559
01:03:27,266 --> 01:03:30,100
I am not exactly
a musical prodigy.

1560
01:03:30,233 --> 01:03:31,333
Well, these bells

1561
01:03:31,467 --> 01:03:33,600
have a way of maintaining
a harmony all on their own.

1562
01:03:33,734 --> 01:03:39,200
He means try your best.

1563
01:03:39,333 --> 01:03:40,367
You okay, Charles?

1564
01:03:40,500 --> 01:03:42,834
Oh, yeah, I'm fine.

1565
01:03:42,967 --> 01:03:46,600
I was just--
I was hoping that...

1566
01:03:46,734 --> 01:03:47,767
it's okay.

1567
01:03:47,900 --> 01:03:49,533
My mom and Uncle Jake
have to lead the procession.

1568
01:03:49,667 --> 01:03:52,000
I'll walk with you!

1569
01:03:52,133 --> 01:03:56,000
That's very kind, young lady.

1570
01:03:56,133 --> 01:04:03,200
Well, shall we?

1571
01:04:03,333 --> 01:04:05,900
My dad would get
such a kick out of this.

1572
01:04:06,033 --> 01:04:07,567
He loved pageantry.

1573
01:04:07,700 --> 01:04:09,900
What do you mean?

1574
01:04:10,033 --> 01:04:13,166
He said I was born
to do great things,

1575
01:04:13,300 --> 01:04:15,266
but I have zip
to show for myself,

1576
01:04:15,400 --> 01:04:19,333
other than a career that stalled
before it even began.

1577
01:04:19,467 --> 01:04:21,600
I sometimes feel like
I let him down.

1578
01:04:21,734 --> 01:04:23,367
You could never.

1579
01:04:23,500 --> 01:04:25,100
Look, it's
a really tough industry

1580
01:04:25,233 --> 01:04:27,600
and he would be so proud
of how hard you tried.

1581
01:04:27,734 --> 01:04:28,700
It's just, like,

1582
01:04:28,834 --> 01:04:31,600
whenever I try
to consider my future,

1583
01:04:31,734 --> 01:04:33,367
it's paralyzing.

1584
01:04:33,500 --> 01:04:34,367
It's almost like

1585
01:04:34,500 --> 01:04:35,867
I can only imagine
the worst-case scenario

1586
01:04:36,000 --> 01:04:39,367
when the subject is myself.

1587
01:04:39,500 --> 01:04:42,266
Is this a mid-life crisis?

1588
01:04:42,400 --> 01:04:43,667
I don't know
anything about that,

1589
01:04:43,800 --> 01:04:44,834
but I do know

1590
01:04:44,967 --> 01:04:47,033
that your father loved you
more than anything,

1591
01:04:47,166 --> 01:04:49,900
and it has nothing to do
with your accomplishments.

1592
01:04:50,033 --> 01:04:53,700
Thanks, Anderson.
That means a lot.

1593
01:04:53,834 --> 01:04:54,734
Now, please,
no more compliments,

1594
01:04:54,867 --> 01:05:00,667
otherwise it's going to go
to my head.

1596
01:05:08,133 --> 01:05:09,567
May I have this dance?

1597
01:05:09,700 --> 01:05:12,467
You may.

1598
01:05:12,600 --> 01:05:15,467
Just don't expect me
to trip all over your feet.

- Yeah?

Yeah.

- Shall we?
- Oh. Okay.

Aw! Could they be any cuter?

Looks like love is in the air.

arrived here,

amount of time,

you've brought so much color
back into my life.

Yeah.

I have been racking my brain

1623
01:06:28,700 --> 01:06:31,233
trying to figure out
when I've heard that before--

1624
01:06:31,367 --> 01:06:33,166
and do you know when it was?

1625
01:06:33,300 --> 01:06:34,667
I'm going to tell you.

1626
01:06:34,800 --> 01:06:35,834
It was when my dad

1627
01:06:35,967 --> 01:06:38,000
gave me a copy of
A Wunderbrook Christmas Story.

1628
01:06:38,133 --> 01:06:40,533
And I heard it again
when I gave a copy to you.

1629
01:06:40,667 --> 01:06:41,967
Really?

1630
01:06:42,100 --> 01:06:42,967
Hang on a second.

1631
01:06:43,100 --> 01:06:44,567
Excuse me.
Judy, Miles.

1632
01:06:44,700 --> 01:06:45,567
- Hi.
- Hi.

1633
01:06:45,700 --> 01:06:46,633
Could you guys
please just admit

1634
01:06:46,767 --> 01:06:48,800
that something magical
is going on here?

1635
01:06:48,934 --> 01:06:50,000
Magical?

1636
01:06:50,133 --> 01:06:51,667
Christmas is a magical time.

1637
01:06:51,800 --> 01:06:54,066
I'll admit that the village
has its quirks,

1638
01:06:54,200 --> 01:06:55,133
but isn't this a bit much?

1639
01:06:55,266 --> 01:06:57,633
Okay. Five disparate people
show up

1640
01:06:57,767 --> 01:06:59,700
through very strange circumstances

1641
01:06:59,834 --> 01:07:01,066
to the same town,

1642
01:07:01,200 --> 01:07:04,066
all coincidentally having read
the same fairy-tale story?

1643
01:07:04,200 --> 01:07:06,200
It is completely improbable

1644
01:07:06,333 --> 01:07:08,734
without some
otherworldly explanation.

1645
01:07:08,867 --> 01:07:09,967
Not to mention,

1646
01:07:10,100 --> 01:07:11,767
all five of us

1647
01:07:11,900 --> 01:07:14,300
had very obvious
emotional challenges

1648
01:07:14,433 --> 01:07:15,400
we needed to overcome.

1649
01:07:15,533 --> 01:07:17,300
Keith and Diane's marriage
was falling apart,

1650
01:07:17,433 --> 01:07:19,133
Charles was grieving,

1651
01:07:19,266 --> 01:07:21,133
I'm clearly a disaster,

1652
01:07:21,266 --> 01:07:22,800
this guy has lost a patient--

1653
01:07:22,934 --> 01:07:24,233
[Mildred] Uh-uh!

1654
01:07:24,367 --> 01:07:27,533
Enough is enough.

1655
01:07:27,667 --> 01:07:29,600
Imagination is one thing,

1656
01:07:29,734 --> 01:07:31,633
but this is crazy.

1657
01:07:31,767 --> 01:07:33,700
What will you
accuse us all of next?

1658
01:07:33,834 --> 01:07:36,967
You have got to stop
living in your daydream

1659
01:07:37,100 --> 01:07:40,266
and pay attention
to reality, dear.

1660
01:07:40,400 --> 01:07:42,600
So you all think
I'm ridiculous?

1661
01:07:42,734 --> 01:07:44,533
Your mind is obviously
playing tricks on you

1662
01:07:44,667 --> 01:07:47,533
so you don't
have to face the truth.

1663
01:07:47,667 --> 01:07:48,767
Which is?

1664
01:07:48,900 --> 01:07:51,867
That you have been so afraid

1665
01:07:52,000 --> 01:07:53,633
that you've allowed
your dreams to fail.

1666
01:07:53,767 --> 01:07:54,867
Wait, that's not fair.

1667
01:07:55,000 --> 01:07:56,700
Well, at least
she didn't abandon

1668
01:07:56,834 --> 01:07:58,433
a well-earned profession--

1669
01:07:58,567 --> 01:08:01,333
something that could
actually save peoples' lives.

1670
01:08:01,467 --> 01:08:03,100
Mildred! I thought
you had turned over a new leaf.

1671
01:08:03,233 --> 01:08:04,133
How could you?

1672
01:08:04,266 --> 01:08:13,033
And a leopard
doesn't change its spots.

1673
01:08:13,166 --> 01:08:13,967
This is what happens

1674
01:08:14,100 --> 01:08:20,600
when you invite me
to these things.

1675
01:08:20,734 --> 01:08:22,100
I asked you
to keep that between us.

1676
01:08:22,233 --> 01:08:23,867
I'm sorry.
It just slipped out.

1677
01:08:24,000 --> 01:08:26,433
Yeah, you really
got carried away.

1678
01:08:26,567 --> 01:08:30,767
Maybe Mildred's
got a point.

1679
01:08:30,900 --> 01:08:32,300
So much
for my active imagination

1680
01:08:32,433 --> 01:08:35,667
being part of my charm
then, huh?

1681
01:08:35,800 --> 01:08:38,667
It's not like she was
so off-base about you either.

1682
01:08:38,800 --> 01:08:39,667
I'm sorry, everybody,

1683
01:08:39,800 --> 01:08:40,967
you don't deserve us
messing up your night.

1684
01:08:41,100 --> 01:08:42,667
Anderson, let's go for a walk,
let you decompress--

1685
01:08:42,800 --> 01:08:44,433
I'm just going
to go back to the inn.

1686
01:08:44,567 --> 01:08:45,433
I'm taking off
first thing in the morning.

1687
01:08:45,567 --> 01:08:46,767
But the Night of Wunder is--

1688
01:08:46,900 --> 01:08:56,000
Something I'll have to miss.

1689
01:08:56,133 --> 01:08:58,467
[Narrator] Though truth
is welcome in Wunderbrook,

1690
01:08:58,600 --> 01:09:07,266
some truths can cause
more heartbreak than healing.

1691
01:09:16,467 --> 01:09:20,433
Is there anything I can do
to change your mind?

1692
01:09:20,567 --> 01:09:23,767
Judy, you've been
an excellent host.

1693
01:09:23,900 --> 01:09:24,767
I gotta be on my way.

1694
01:09:24,900 --> 01:09:28,633
Okay, well, if you must go,
we understand.

1695
01:09:28,767 --> 01:09:31,166
Please do come back
and visit us again?

1696
01:09:31,300 --> 01:09:39,967
Thanks for everything.

1697
01:09:40,100 --> 01:09:50,066

1698

[♪]

1699
01:10:13,066 --> 01:10:15,567
Oh! Hey, Charles.

1700
01:10:15,700 --> 01:10:17,767
Dramatic night last night.

1701
01:10:17,900 --> 01:10:19,667
You're not kidding.

1702
01:10:19,800 --> 01:10:20,934
I don't know what to make of it.

1703
01:10:21,066 --> 01:10:25,600
I'm turning it around
in my head.

1704
01:10:25,734 --> 01:10:28,266
Charles, are you okay?

1705
01:10:28,400 --> 01:10:33,667
I don't...

1706
01:10:33,800 --> 01:10:34,834
Something's not right.

1707
01:10:34,967 --> 01:10:44,934
Judy! Anybody!
I need some help here!

1708
01:10:45,533 --> 01:10:46,934
Where's my phone?

1709
01:10:47,066 --> 01:10:48,767
Charles, can you hear us?

1710
01:10:48,900 --> 01:10:50,800
Do something.

1711
01:10:50,934 --> 01:10:51,834
Judy? What's wrong?

1712
01:10:51,967 --> 01:10:52,834
It's Charles.

1713
01:10:52,967 --> 01:10:53,934
His breathing was shallow
and he fainted.

1714
01:10:54,066 --> 01:10:55,767
- I didn't know--
- Anderson, help him, please.

1715
01:10:55,900 --> 01:10:57,066
We think he's having
a heart attack.

1716
01:10:57,200 --> 01:10:59,800
I need my medical bag
out of my car.

1717
01:10:59,934 --> 01:11:04,834
On it.

1718
01:11:04,967 --> 01:11:06,367
Well, Charles is settled
into his room.

1719
01:11:06,500 --> 01:11:08,066
His blood pressure
dropped suddenly,

1720
01:11:08,200 --> 01:11:09,300
which mimics a heart attack.

1721
01:11:09,433 --> 01:11:11,533
But he just needs to hydrate
and up his sodium intake

1722
01:11:11,667 --> 01:11:12,533
and he'll be fine.

1723
01:11:12,667 --> 01:11:13,800
Thank goodness, you were here.

1724
01:11:13,934 --> 01:11:16,800
Thank goodness,
I had left my phone.

1725
01:11:16,934 --> 01:11:19,700
I thought I had it.

1726
01:11:19,834 --> 01:11:20,967
Just glad it all worked out.

1727
01:11:21,100 --> 01:11:22,700
So, how did it feel,

1728
01:11:22,834 --> 01:11:26,133
getting back into doctor mode?

1729
01:11:26,266 --> 01:11:29,800
It felt...

1730
01:11:29,934 --> 01:11:32,333
it felt like my calling.

1731
01:11:32,467 --> 01:11:34,000
It is, Anderson.

1732
01:11:34,133 --> 01:11:35,533
This is your gift.

1733
01:11:35,667 --> 01:11:36,900
And the world needs it.

1734
01:11:37,033 --> 01:11:40,133
The world needs you.

1735
01:11:40,266 --> 01:11:42,500
[bell chimes]

1736
01:11:42,633 --> 01:11:43,567
Okay, is this a prank?

1737
01:11:43,700 --> 01:11:45,233
Because if it is,
it's not funny, all right,

1738
01:11:45,367 --> 01:11:47,633
especially after
the day I've had.

1739
01:11:47,767 --> 01:11:48,800
Judy,

1740
01:11:48,934 --> 01:11:50,367
I think it's time

1741
01:11:50,500 --> 01:11:53,000
we told the good doctor
the truth.

1742
01:11:53,133 --> 01:11:54,533
Wait, start over here.
You lost me.

1743
01:11:54,667 --> 01:11:55,734
So...

1744
01:11:55,867 --> 01:11:57,333
so you're telling me

1745
01:11:57,467 --> 01:12:00,367
that this town is from
a made-up Christmas fable?

1746
01:12:00,500 --> 01:12:02,700
Yes, Anderson.
It is.

1747
01:12:02,834 --> 01:12:03,600
And the chimes?

1748
01:12:03,734 --> 01:12:04,800
The first time it rings

1749
01:12:04,934 --> 01:12:06,734
is when someone
receives the book.

1750
01:12:06,867 --> 01:12:08,200
The second time,

1751
01:12:08,333 --> 01:12:10,033
it signifies
the healing was successful.

1752
01:12:10,166 --> 01:12:11,867
We know it's a lot to take in,

1753
01:12:12,000 --> 01:12:15,266
but this is all very real.

1754
01:12:15,400 --> 01:12:17,033
So she was right?

1755
01:12:17,166 --> 01:12:20,066
About everything?

1756
01:12:20,200 --> 01:12:22,066
- I gotta tell her--
- No, wait, wait.

1757
01:12:22,200 --> 01:12:23,066
You can't.

1758
01:12:23,200 --> 01:12:24,266
If she knows the truth,

1759
01:12:24,400 --> 01:12:27,133
it'll interfere with
the integrity of the process.

1760
01:12:27,266 --> 01:12:28,533
I see.

1761
01:12:28,667 --> 01:12:37,467
You know, for a made-up village,
you guys have a lot of rules.

1762
01:12:37,600 --> 01:12:42,100
- [knocking on door]
- [Charles] Come in.

1763
01:12:42,233 --> 01:12:44,767
I won't stay,
but I heard what happened.

1764
01:12:44,900 --> 01:12:48,433
I brought you
some of your favorites.

1765
01:12:48,567 --> 01:12:49,433
Extra sodium,

1766
01:12:49,567 --> 01:12:58,967
as per Doc Anderson's
instructions.

1767
01:12:59,100 --> 01:13:03,700
How come you went after
him and Talia like that?

1768
01:13:03,834 --> 01:13:05,333
I heard about your reputation,

1769
01:13:05,467 --> 01:13:09,700
but you were so biting.

1770
01:13:09,834 --> 01:13:12,500
I don't recognize you.

1771
01:13:12,633 --> 01:13:16,700
I wish
I could make you understand.

1772
01:13:16,834 --> 01:13:19,767
But please believe,

1773
01:13:19,900 --> 01:13:26,266
I'm still the same person
you invited to the procession.

1774
01:13:26,400 --> 01:13:29,867

01:15:08,200 --> 01:15:11,300
and it just slipped out.

1800
01:15:11,433 --> 01:15:12,800
It's okay.

1801
01:15:12,934 --> 01:15:15,834
I'm sorry
that I took Mildred's side.

1802
01:15:15,967 --> 01:15:17,400
I, of all people,

1803
01:15:17,533 --> 01:15:22,066
should know how anxiety
can take hold.

1804
01:15:22,200 --> 01:15:24,967
Truce?

1805
01:15:25,100 --> 01:15:27,900
I think
I can live with that.

1806
01:15:28,033 --> 01:15:28,900
And I promise,

1807
01:15:29,033 --> 01:15:30,166
that is the last time

1808
01:15:30,300 --> 01:15:31,934
I'm going to let
my imagination run wild.

1809
01:15:32,066 --> 01:15:35,266
I actually convinced myself

1810
01:15:35,400 --> 01:15:37,567
that I was
in some magical world.

1811
01:15:37,700 --> 01:15:39,266
It's so embarrassing.

1812
01:15:39,400 --> 01:15:41,500
And I got obsessed.

1813
01:15:41,633 --> 01:15:42,767
It's so silly.

1814
01:15:42,900 --> 01:15:45,500
I'm so sorry.

1815
01:15:45,633 --> 01:15:47,300
I meant
what I said before.

1816
01:15:47,433 --> 01:15:49,066
It really is
part of your charm.

1817
01:15:49,200 --> 01:15:51,900
Truly.

1818
01:15:52,033 --> 01:15:54,767
I got you a bit of
an early Christmas present--

1819
01:15:54,900 --> 01:16:04,934
more of a re-gift.

1820
01:16:07,700 --> 01:16:08,567
Are these my old stories?

1821
01:16:08,700 --> 01:16:13,800
Yeah.

1822
01:16:13,934 --> 01:16:16,033
[Narrator] "He held onto them,"
she thought,

1823
01:16:16,166 --> 01:16:24,233
"even when I was ready
to let them go."

1824
01:16:24,367 --> 01:16:30,500
ine.

1825
01:16:30,633 --> 01:16:32,200
My old stories?

1826
01:16:32,333 --> 01:16:34,333
What, you actually kept these?

1827
01:16:34,467 --> 01:16:36,266
Yeah. Yeah. I found them
while I was packing.

1828
01:16:36,400 --> 01:16:37,767
I... I thought your dad

1829
01:16:37,900 --> 01:16:41,000
would want you
to have those back.

1830
01:16:41,133 --> 01:16:45,166
I'm speechless.

1831
01:16:45,300 --> 01:16:49,000
Thank you.

1832
01:16:49,133 --> 01:16:49,967
Wow.

1833
01:16:50,100 --> 01:16:58,066
[Miles] Are those
your stories, Talia?

1834
01:16:58,200 --> 01:16:59,667
Oh.

1835
01:16:59,800 --> 01:17:02,967
I get it.

1836
01:17:03,100 --> 01:17:08,800
I've gotten it wrong
this whole time.

1837
01:17:08,934 --> 01:17:10,166
I kept thinking

1838
01:17:10,300 --> 01:17:13,433
that my dad's greatest fear

1839
01:17:13,567 --> 01:17:17,967
was that I wouldn't become
some big, fancy author.

1840
01:17:18,100 --> 01:17:19,734
But his greatest fear

1841
01:17:19,867 --> 01:17:21,967
was that I would become stuck,

1842
01:17:22,100 --> 01:17:26,633
which is exactly what happened.

1843
01:17:26,767 --> 01:17:28,567
I have been
in this holding pattern

1844
01:17:28,700 --> 01:17:29,834
since he passed,

1845
01:17:29,967 --> 01:17:31,600
just so terrified.

1846
01:17:31,734 --> 01:17:34,066
I think because he was so young,

1847
01:17:34,200 --> 01:17:37,100
I've been afraid
to imagine my own future.

1848
01:17:37,233 --> 01:17:41,400
And I've let it hold me back
from so many opportunities.

1849
01:17:41,533 --> 01:17:42,900
I am a writer.

1850
01:17:43,033 --> 01:17:44,900
This I know.

1851
01:17:45,033 --> 01:17:45,934
It is my calling,

1852
01:17:46,066 --> 01:17:47,066
it is in my bones,

1853
01:17:47,200 --> 01:17:48,667
it is in my heart.

1854
01:17:48,800 --> 01:17:51,266
I'm not questioning that.
I am a writer.

1855
01:17:51,400 --> 01:17:53,066
But that's not
what this is about.

1856
01:17:53,200 --> 01:17:55,667
This is about my own fear.

1857
01:17:55,800 --> 01:17:58,934
I have been so afraid
to do what I love

1858
01:17:59,066 --> 01:18:02,133
or be with someone
that I love

1859
01:18:02,266 --> 01:18:03,867
because what if
I lose them, too?

1860
01:18:04,000 --> 01:18:06,667
I am done living in fear.

1861
01:18:06,800 --> 01:18:08,734
I am done!

1862
01:18:08,867 --> 01:18:11,500
Do you hear me?

1863
01:18:11,633 --> 01:18:21,066
[bell chimes]

1864
01:18:21,200 --> 01:18:23,033
[Judy] Looks like
it worked, Mildred.

1865
01:18:23,166 --> 01:18:25,033
[Miles] All part
of your big plan.

1866
01:18:25,166 --> 01:18:29,367
I always believed in you.

1867
01:18:29,500 --> 01:18:30,367
That was--

1868
01:18:30,500 --> 01:18:33,200
- I'm not done.
- Okay.

1869
01:18:33,333 --> 01:18:35,000
Anderson...

1870
01:18:35,133 --> 01:18:39,200
I have feelings for you.

1871
01:18:39,333 --> 01:18:41,300
You keep me grounded,

1872
01:18:41,433 --> 01:18:46,066
you give me the space
to be exactly who I am...

1873
01:18:46,200 --> 01:18:47,400
...and ever since we were kids,

1874
01:18:47,533 --> 01:18:51,033
you've always made me feel
like I'm special.

1875
01:18:51,166 --> 01:18:57,033
There's nobody
more special to me than you.

1876
01:18:57,166 --> 01:18:58,400
I have feelings for you, too.

1877
01:18:58,533 --> 01:19:01,600
Can you say that again?

1878
01:19:01,734 --> 01:19:02,800
I always have.

1879
01:19:02,934 --> 01:19:05,600
Your joie de vivre
puts a smile on my face.

1880
01:19:05,734 --> 01:19:07,600
And after spending
this time with you,

1881
01:19:07,734 --> 01:19:11,767
I can't imagine
my life without you.

1882
01:19:11,900 --> 01:19:14,367
Shouldn't you be resting?

1883
01:19:14,500 --> 01:19:16,734
Didn't want to miss
all the fun.

1884
01:19:16,867 --> 01:19:20,934
And besides,
I have a proposition.

1885
01:19:21,066 --> 01:19:23,033
I don't know
what happened last night--

1886
01:19:23,166 --> 01:19:24,934
and that doesn't matter.

1887
01:19:25,066 --> 01:19:30,200
What matters is that I know you.

1888
01:19:30,333 --> 01:19:33,633
I want to stay in Wunderbrook.

1889
01:19:33,767 --> 01:19:35,100
Indefinitely.

1890
01:19:35,233 --> 01:19:37,200
If you'll allow me?

1891
01:19:37,333 --> 01:19:39,066
You do?

1892
01:19:39,200 --> 01:19:42,033
I do.

1893
01:19:42,166 --> 01:19:43,200
Well, I mean,

1894
01:19:43,333 --> 01:19:46,533
I guess I could get used
to having you around.

1895
01:19:46,667 --> 01:19:48,367
Besides, you're pretty cute.

1896
01:19:48,500 --> 01:19:49,900
Nobody has ever asked us
to stay before.

1897
01:19:50,033 --> 01:19:51,033
This is unprecedented.

1898
01:19:51,166 --> 01:19:52,100
We'll have to consider
all the ramifications--

1899
01:19:52,233 --> 01:19:54,033
Stay, Charles.

1900
01:19:54,166 --> 01:19:55,300
We know you'll make

1901
01:19:55,433 --> 01:19:57,934
the perfect addition
to our ranks.

1902
01:19:58,066 --> 01:19:59,033
So, does this mean

1903
01:19:59,166 --> 01:20:00,400
we get to tell everybody
about everything now?

1904
01:20:00,533 --> 01:20:06,133
Tell us about what?

1905
01:20:06,266 --> 01:20:08,033
Okay, I think I need a minute
to process this.

1906
01:20:08,166 --> 01:20:09,867
That makes two of us.

1907
01:20:10,000 --> 01:20:11,600
So, you all aren't
making this up

1908
01:20:11,734 --> 01:20:15,066
to humor me for some reason?

1909
01:20:15,200 --> 01:20:16,934
I knew it!

1910
01:20:17,066 --> 01:20:19,100
I knew it wasn't
just my imagination.

1911
01:20:19,233 --> 01:20:22,734
So, I'm actually
inside a magical world?

1912
01:20:22,867 --> 01:20:25,200
So, you're
the king and the queen?

1913
01:20:25,333 --> 01:20:28,700
And the freckled princess?

1914
01:20:28,834 --> 01:20:29,700
And the witch and the fool.

1915
01:20:29,834 --> 01:20:30,867
No offense.

1916
01:20:31,000 --> 01:20:37,066
Hey, someone's gotta do it.

1917
01:20:37,200 --> 01:20:39,133
So, my dad came here

1918
01:20:39,266 --> 01:20:42,100
in time
of his own inner conflict...

1919
01:20:42,233 --> 01:20:45,033
and that's why he gave me
his copy of Wunderbrook.

1920
01:20:45,166 --> 01:20:46,266
In case you needed it some day.

1921
01:20:46,400 --> 01:20:48,433
[Talia] This is so incredible.

1922
01:20:48,567 --> 01:20:49,433
You all are going to help

1923
01:20:49,567 --> 01:20:54,467
so many people
for generations to come.

1924
01:20:54,600 --> 01:20:55,467
Maybe not.

1925
01:20:55,600 --> 01:20:56,800
Why would you ever stop?

1926
01:20:56,934 --> 01:20:58,200
[Judy] We won't.

1927
01:20:58,333 --> 01:21:01,033
But the popularity of
A Wunderbrook Christmas Story

1928
01:21:01,166 --> 01:21:03,200
is waning more and more
each year.

1929
01:21:03,333 --> 01:21:08,333
It's only a matter of time
before people stop showing up.

1930
01:21:08,467 --> 01:21:10,867
[Judy] But hey,
why be so maudlin?

1931
01:21:11,000 --> 01:21:12,700
We had a successful group
this year,

1932
01:21:12,834 --> 01:21:14,000
and just in the nick of time,

1933
01:21:14,133 --> 01:21:15,834
so tonight, let's celebrate.

1934
01:21:15,967 --> 01:21:19,333
Everyone, get out there
and enjoy this...

1935
01:21:19,467 --> 01:21:20,667
Night of Wunder!

1936
01:21:20,800 --> 01:21:30,767
We insist!

1937
01:21:31,066 --> 01:21:32,000
So...

1938
01:21:32,133 --> 01:21:34,800
so where were we?

1939
01:21:34,934 --> 01:21:37,333
I can't really recall.

1940
01:21:37,467 --> 01:21:40,834
Maybe I need to borrow
some of Miles' mistletoe stash?

1941
01:21:40,967 --> 01:21:50,934
I don't think
we're going to need any.

1942
01:21:51,467 --> 01:21:53,000
You were right, you know.

1943
01:21:53,133 --> 01:21:54,467
About Wunderbrook?

1944
01:21:54,600 --> 01:22:04,633
No. About kismet.

1945
01:22:08,533 --> 01:22:09,934
[Narrator]
And as this year's story

1946
01:22:10,066 --> 01:22:11,500
comes to an end,

1947
01:22:11,633 --> 01:22:15,066
the fate of Wunderbrook's future
has also been secured,

1948
01:22:15,200 --> 01:22:24,500
thanks to a new best-seller.

1949
01:22:24,633 --> 01:22:25,500
I knew you had it in you, Tal.

1950
01:22:25,633 --> 01:22:27,200
We all did.

1951
01:22:27,333 --> 01:22:28,667
[Keith] Congratulations, Talia.

1952
01:22:28,800 --> 01:22:29,900
[Diane] You did amazing.

1953
01:22:30,033 --> 01:22:31,700
Almost ready for your speech?

1954
01:22:31,834 --> 01:22:33,567
I gotta get back
to the hospital soon.

1955
01:22:33,700 --> 01:22:40,400
Ready as I'll ever be.

1956
01:22:40,533 --> 01:22:42,400
Hey, you look familiar.

1957
01:22:42,533 --> 01:22:45,500
Nope, nope,
not doing that again.

1958
01:22:45,633 --> 01:22:46,500
I hope you've found

1959
01:22:46,633 --> 01:22:48,734
everything you were
looking for, sir.

1960
01:22:48,867 --> 01:22:55,266
I'm quite sure I have,
thank you.

1961
01:22:55,400 --> 01:22:56,934
[Narrator]
Now my part of the tale

1962
01:22:57,066 --> 01:22:59,066
has come
to its happy conclusion,

1963
01:22:59,200 --> 01:23:00,300
for I, too,

1964
01:23:00,433 --> 01:23:04,133
have fulfilled my destiny
of passing on my story.

1965
01:23:04,266 --> 01:23:05,600
Good afternoon.

1966
01:23:05,734 --> 01:23:09,567
Thank you so much for coming
to this book launch...

1967
01:23:09,700 --> 01:23:11,400
Who's that guy, Miss Talia?

1968
01:23:11,533 --> 01:23:14,800
Oh, that is Wunderbrook's
newest resident--

1969
01:23:14,934 --> 01:23:16,934
the noble knight.

1970
01:23:17,066 --> 01:23:18,800
Here, this copy
is for you.
