3
00:01:36,513 --> 00:01:37,972
Good morning, Lord.

4
00:01:40,517 --> 00:01:44,395
I have the same request as yesterday,

5
00:01:44,437 --> 00:01:48,441
maybe with a little more urgency.

6
00:01:48,483 --> 00:01:50,693
Give me the strength to keep
this place from falling

7
00:01:50,735 --> 00:01:57,367
apart for dad, my family and everyone

8
00:01:57,408 --> 00:01:58,743
in this town who needs you.

9
00:02:01,204 --> 00:02:03,123
And Lord, if you could
help me figure out a way

10
00:02:03,164 --> 00:02:07,502
to pay for a new roof before
Christmas Eve service,

11
00:02:07,544 --> 00:02:08,545
super helpful.

12
00:02:28,731 --> 00:02:30,150
Hey, Uncle Daniel.

13
00:02:30,191 --> 00:02:33,027
Good morning, Tommy.

14
00:02:33,069 --> 00:02:36,614
I'm not complaining as I love
seeing you as often as we do,

15
00:02:36,656 --> 00:02:40,618
but I'm fairly sure your mother
has cereal at your house.

16
00:02:40,660 --> 00:02:42,412
That stuff is not edible.

17
00:02:42,453 --> 00:02:44,080
I am a growing boy.

18
00:02:44,122 --> 00:02:47,375
I need sugar and something
that tastes like actual food.

19
00:02:47,417 --> 00:02:50,128
Is your mom picking you up
for school or am I taking you?

20
00:02:50,170 --> 00:02:51,838
I left her a note saying I'd be here,

21
00:02:51,880 --> 00:02:54,924
eating a sufficient breakfast.

22
00:02:54,966 --> 00:02:56,676
Good placement
on the eye roll, by the way.

23
00:02:56,718 --> 00:02:58,928
Oh, well, hallelujah, I have finally

24
00:02:58,970 --> 00:03:01,139
impressed my teenage nephew.

25
00:03:01,181 --> 00:03:03,433
Have you looked
in on your grandfather yet?

26
00:03:03,474 --> 00:03:04,517
No need to check on me.

27
00:03:04,559 --> 00:03:06,102
I'm fine.

28
00:03:06,144 --> 00:03:09,439
I've got my son and my grandson,
and I woke up breathing.

29
00:03:09,480 --> 00:03:12,358
God is good.

30
00:03:12,400 --> 00:03:13,943
How's the church roof doing?

31
00:03:13,985 --> 00:03:15,612
About as good as your hip.

32
00:03:15,653 --> 00:03:17,947
It's seen better days,
but it's hanging in there.

33
00:03:17,989 --> 00:03:21,159
Well, at least my hip isn't
leaking on the congregation.

34
00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:25,622
Hello.

35
00:03:25,663 --> 00:03:28,458
I come bearing gifts
of the season, in cookie form.

36
00:03:28,499 --> 00:03:29,959
Enjoy.

37
00:03:30,001 --> 00:03:31,419
Really, Dad, for breakfast?

38
00:03:31,461 --> 00:03:32,837
What...

39
00:03:32,879 --> 00:03:34,881
So whether you eat
or drink, whatever you do,

40
00:03:34,923 --> 00:03:36,633
do all to the glory of God.

41
00:03:36,674 --> 00:03:40,053
First Corinthians, 10:31.

42
00:03:40,094 --> 00:03:41,930
You're pulling out all the stops, I see.

43
00:03:41,971 --> 00:03:43,681
Once a pastor, always a pastor.

44
00:03:43,723 --> 00:03:44,557
It's OK.

45
00:03:44,599 --> 00:03:45,433
He can have these.

46
00:03:45,475 --> 00:03:47,101
They're a new recipe.

47
00:03:47,143 --> 00:03:51,439
It's fat free, gluten free,
sugar free, and dairy free.

48
00:03:51,481 --> 00:03:53,233
What's left?

49
00:03:53,274 --> 00:03:54,234
Air.

50
00:03:54,275 --> 00:03:56,069
Tommy.

51
00:03:56,110 --> 00:03:58,029
These aren't Christmas cookies, Mom.

52
00:03:58,071 --> 00:03:58,821
They're...

53
00:03:58,863 --> 00:04:00,156
They're not good.

54
00:04:00,198 --> 00:04:01,199
They're not good at all.

55
00:04:01,241 --> 00:04:02,241
Really?

56
00:04:04,744 --> 00:04:06,871
Oh, um, well...

57
00:04:06,913 --> 00:04:09,832
OK, well, they could use a little finessing.

58
00:04:09,874 --> 00:04:11,376
A little?

59
00:04:11,417 --> 00:04:13,920
You are my daughter and I
love and support you.

60
00:04:13,962 --> 00:04:16,172
But these are terrible.

61
00:04:16,214 --> 00:04:18,841
But they're... yeah, OK.

62
00:04:18,883 --> 00:04:20,260
They're terrible.

63
00:04:20,301 --> 00:04:22,345
You don't have to eat them.

64
00:04:22,387 --> 00:04:23,972
But we should get going, Kiddo.

65
00:04:24,013 --> 00:04:25,765
It's your last day before break.

66
00:04:25,807 --> 00:04:27,016
I can be late.

67
00:04:27,058 --> 00:04:28,351
Well, I can't.

68
00:04:28,393 --> 00:04:29,954
So let's get you
to school and me to work.

69
00:04:29,978 --> 00:04:30,728
Come on.

70
00:04:30,770 --> 00:04:32,355
Chop chop.

71
00:04:32,397 --> 00:04:34,691
Well, if I had a car,
I wouldn't have to worry

72
00:04:34,732 --> 00:04:36,067
about anyone driving me.

73
00:04:36,109 --> 00:04:37,068
Just saying.

74
00:04:37,110 --> 00:04:38,486
Christmas is coming.

75
00:04:38,528 --> 00:04:40,905
Yeah, not getting
a car for Christmas, Bud.

76
00:04:40,947 --> 00:04:41,947
Let's go.

77
00:04:45,994 --> 00:04:49,080
Hey, Mike and I heard
that there might not be

78
00:04:49,122 --> 00:04:50,540
a Christmas festival this year.

79
00:04:50,581 --> 00:04:53,918
Something about insurance costs?

80
00:04:53,960 --> 00:04:55,086
It'll work.

81
00:04:55,128 --> 00:04:56,963
We always find a way.

82
00:04:57,005 --> 00:04:58,589
I was hoping you'd say that.

83
00:04:58,631 --> 00:05:00,300
I don't think we've ever not had one.

84
00:05:03,094 --> 00:05:05,179
And thanks for taking care of Dad.

85
00:05:05,221 --> 00:05:06,597
Stop.

86
00:05:07,682 --> 00:05:10,935
We're family, it's what we do.

87
00:05:10,977 --> 00:05:12,687
Well, thank you.

88
00:05:12,729 --> 00:05:13,521
Bye, Dad.

89
00:05:13,563 --> 00:05:14,563
Love you.

90
00:05:17,984 --> 00:05:19,986
You know, I may have parts that

91
00:05:20,028 --> 00:05:22,613
are not working at full
capacity, but I can still hear,

92
00:05:22,655 --> 00:05:24,032
you know?

93
00:05:24,073 --> 00:05:26,034
If I ever get to be a burden on you...

94
00:05:26,075 --> 00:05:28,202
Dad, we have talked about this.

95
00:05:28,244 --> 00:05:30,747
You're stuck with me.

96
00:05:30,788 --> 00:05:35,460
Well, if you insist, I'll stay.

97
00:05:35,501 --> 00:05:38,921
But we do have other options to discuss.

98
00:05:38,963 --> 00:05:41,090
It would be the last thing
I'd want to do, but...

99
00:05:41,132 --> 00:05:43,885
We're not selling the church.

100
00:05:43,926 --> 00:05:45,928
Maybe if you look at it like it's

101
00:05:45,970 --> 00:05:49,849
not so much about the church
and more about family.

102
00:05:49,891 --> 00:05:52,435
We are all struggling.

103
00:05:52,477 --> 00:05:54,562
We've got my medical bills, insurance

104
00:05:54,604 --> 00:05:56,689
premiums we can hardly handle.

105
00:05:56,731 --> 00:05:59,525
And the house needing almost
as many repairs as the church.

106
00:05:59,567 --> 00:06:02,278
You have always told
us that God will provide.

107
00:06:02,320 --> 00:06:05,281
Why can't we still trust in that?

108
00:06:05,323 --> 00:06:07,158
We can.

109
00:06:07,200 --> 00:06:10,578
But sometimes God provides
through difficult decisions,

110
00:06:10,620 --> 00:06:12,372
Danny.

111
00:06:12,413 --> 00:06:14,499
I need to get to work.

112
00:06:14,540 --> 00:06:15,958
We'll get through this, Dad.

113
00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:19,128
We always do.

114
00:06:19,170 --> 00:06:21,005
Love you.

115
00:06:32,433 --> 00:06:35,436
Well, the success
in other areas,

116
00:06:35,478 --> 00:06:37,939
I believe now is the perfect time

117
00:06:37,980 --> 00:06:41,234
to forge into Midnight Clear.

118
00:06:41,275 --> 00:06:44,070
Forgive me for sounding
pessimistic, Mr. Shaw,

119
00:06:44,112 --> 00:06:46,197
but I was the one that
was there last year.

120
00:06:46,239 --> 00:06:48,699
There's no way they'll all agree to sell.

121
00:06:48,741 --> 00:06:53,204
And that's why I'm sending in
our top acquisition specialist.

122
00:06:53,246 --> 00:06:57,458
This town represents
our biggest opportunity yet.

123
00:06:57,500 --> 00:07:01,212
Prime real estate, desperate sellers, and

124
00:07:01,254 --> 00:07:05,466
hopefully, with Hilary
overseeing the deal,

125
00:07:05,508 --> 00:07:07,218
minimal resistance.

126
00:07:07,260 --> 00:07:08,970
Hilary.

127
00:07:09,011 --> 00:07:12,306
OK, so as Richard stated, I'll
start with the properties that

128
00:07:12,348 --> 00:07:15,017
have shown interest, solidify
those deals while talking

129
00:07:15,059 --> 00:07:16,519
to the more stubborn holdouts.

130
00:07:16,561 --> 00:07:18,438
The more I can bring on board to sell,

131
00:07:18,479 --> 00:07:21,107
the easier it's going to be to
convince the others that this is

132
00:07:21,149 --> 00:07:23,359
the best plan for our future.

133
00:07:23,401 --> 00:07:25,862
OK?

134
00:07:25,903 --> 00:07:26,821
Thank you, everyone.

135
00:07:26,863 --> 00:07:28,448
That will be all.

136
00:07:41,961 --> 00:07:42,879
Wow.

137
00:07:42,920 --> 00:07:45,673
Love the Christmas spirit.

138
00:07:45,715 --> 00:07:47,550
Some of us are busy executives,

139
00:07:47,592 --> 00:07:49,093
and as much as we like Christmas,

140
00:07:49,135 --> 00:07:52,513
we like to close deals more.

141
00:07:52,555 --> 00:07:54,265
Was a good speech today.

142
00:07:54,307 --> 00:07:56,601
If you want, I could take you to dinner,

143
00:07:56,642 --> 00:07:58,978
show you my notes on the town owners.

144
00:07:59,020 --> 00:08:00,563
Could help you when you get there.

145
00:08:00,605 --> 00:08:02,315
I appreciate the offer, but

146
00:08:02,356 --> 00:08:04,567
I think a fresh set
of eyes and a new approach

147
00:08:04,609 --> 00:08:06,235
might be the answer.

148
00:08:06,277 --> 00:08:07,796
I'll call you if I have any
questions when I get there.

149
00:08:07,820 --> 00:08:08,613
OK?

150
00:08:08,654 --> 00:08:10,531
Thanks, though.

151
00:08:10,573 --> 00:08:11,741
I'll leave you to it then.

152
00:08:19,123 --> 00:08:22,251
Brandon, I told you, I'm all good.

153
00:08:22,293 --> 00:08:25,213
I can see that.

154
00:08:25,254 --> 00:08:26,172
Prepping?

155
00:08:26,214 --> 00:08:27,632
Yes.

156
00:08:27,673 --> 00:08:30,551
This could be a massive
win for the company.

157
00:08:30,593 --> 00:08:33,763
If you play it right, for you.

158
00:08:33,804 --> 00:08:35,139
I appreciate that.

159
00:08:35,181 --> 00:08:36,474
I do have a question, though.

160
00:08:36,516 --> 00:08:38,309
Have you seen this church?

161
00:08:38,351 --> 00:08:40,853
It's right in the middle
of the town, and, I don't know,

162
00:08:40,895 --> 00:08:42,855
I think it could be considered historic.

163
00:08:42,897 --> 00:08:43,814
OK?

164
00:08:43,856 --> 00:08:44,774
And?

165
00:08:44,815 --> 00:08:48,486
Well, look at it.

166
00:08:48,528 --> 00:08:51,614
I'm not sure taking it down and
following our standard operation

167
00:08:51,656 --> 00:08:53,533
will work in Midnight Clear.

168
00:08:53,574 --> 00:08:56,202
Hilary, business is business.

169
00:08:56,244 --> 00:08:58,955
That church sits on prime real estate.

170
00:08:58,996 --> 00:09:00,373
It's the best point in town.

171
00:09:00,414 --> 00:09:02,542
It has perfect visibility from the highway.

172
00:09:02,583 --> 00:09:06,879
Look, you work around it or through it.

173
00:09:06,921 --> 00:09:09,382
I don't care what you
choose, just get it done.

174
00:09:09,423 --> 00:09:11,008
I will.

175
00:09:11,050 --> 00:09:13,302
But maybe our community
development initiative

176
00:09:13,344 --> 00:09:14,720
could work here.

177
00:09:14,762 --> 00:09:17,056
Hilary, that community
development initiative

178
00:09:17,098 --> 00:09:19,058
is there to make us money.

179
00:09:19,100 --> 00:09:23,854
That revitalization stuff
is simply good marketing.

180
00:09:23,896 --> 00:09:27,149
Yeah, the church does seem
like it's in pretty bad shape.

181
00:09:27,191 --> 00:09:28,609
Well, even better.

182
00:09:28,651 --> 00:09:31,988
Easy to justify demolition
for safety reasons.

183
00:09:32,029 --> 00:09:33,823
What's our cover story?

184
00:09:33,864 --> 00:09:35,866
No story needed here.

185
00:09:35,908 --> 00:09:37,994
We're offering these people
more money than they've

186
00:09:38,035 --> 00:09:40,204
ever seen in their life.

187
00:09:40,246 --> 00:09:41,998
Most will jump at the chance.

188
00:09:42,039 --> 00:09:44,625
And the holdouts?

189
00:09:44,667 --> 00:09:48,087
Eminent domain, if necessary.

190
00:09:48,129 --> 00:09:50,423
And the county's already
interested in the increased tax

191
00:09:50,464 --> 00:09:52,883
revenue.

192
00:09:52,925 --> 00:09:57,597
I need those contracts
signed by Christmas Eve.

193
00:09:57,638 --> 00:10:00,516
That's... that's just a few weeks away.

194
00:10:00,558 --> 00:10:03,519
Then I suggest you tell them
whatever it is they need to hear

195
00:10:03,561 --> 00:10:05,938
to get the job done on time.

196
00:10:05,980 --> 00:10:07,231
Understood?

197
00:10:07,273 --> 00:10:08,149
Mm-hmm.

198
00:10:08,190 --> 00:10:09,190
Good.

199
00:10:12,695 --> 00:10:17,241
Oh, Raquel and I look forward to
seeing you at Christmas dinner.

200
00:10:23,664 --> 00:10:26,542
Merry Christmas to you too, Dad.

201
00:10:43,059 --> 00:10:44,477
Hello.

202
00:10:44,518 --> 00:10:47,855
Is anyone here?

203
00:10:47,897 --> 00:10:48,648
Oh, hi.

204
00:10:48,689 --> 00:10:49,857
Excuse me. Hi.

205
00:10:49,899 --> 00:10:50,775
Hi.

206
00:10:50,816 --> 00:10:52,026
What can I do for you?

207
00:10:52,068 --> 00:10:54,028
I'm Hilary Shaw
from Shaw Development.

208
00:10:54,070 --> 00:10:56,072
I just wanted to get
a few minutes of your time

209
00:10:56,113 --> 00:10:58,491
and talk to you about your property.

210
00:10:58,532 --> 00:10:59,992
Not interested.

211
00:11:00,034 --> 00:11:04,163
Oh, you didn't even listen
to what I have to say.

212
00:11:04,205 --> 00:11:06,082
I don't need to.

213
00:11:06,123 --> 00:11:08,542
You said you're from
a development company, right?

214
00:11:08,584 --> 00:11:11,462
This church has been in my
family for four generations.

215
00:11:11,504 --> 00:11:13,297
We've developed.

216
00:11:17,760 --> 00:11:20,012
OK, mister...

217
00:11:20,054 --> 00:11:21,097
It's pastor.

218
00:11:21,138 --> 00:11:22,765
Pastor Porter.

219
00:11:22,807 --> 00:11:25,685
Pastor Porter, I completely
understand your attachment,

220
00:11:25,726 --> 00:11:31,023
but I'm here to completely
revitalize your community.

221
00:11:31,065 --> 00:11:32,692
There will be wonderful opportunities

222
00:11:32,733 --> 00:11:36,028
for retail, community centers,
jobs for local residents,

223
00:11:36,070 --> 00:11:38,781
and affordable housing.

224
00:11:38,823 --> 00:11:40,241
Affordable for who?

225
00:11:40,282 --> 00:11:41,367
You or me?

226
00:11:44,537 --> 00:11:47,415
May I ask, what do you
know about Midnight Clear,

227
00:11:47,456 --> 00:11:50,751
aside from charts and zoning?

228
00:11:50,793 --> 00:11:53,129
You know how many folks
live in the senior home,

229
00:11:53,170 --> 00:11:57,466
which the church funds, or how
many people you'd be displacing?

230
00:11:57,508 --> 00:12:00,219
I should warn you, Ms.
Shaw, one of my finer traits

231
00:12:00,261 --> 00:12:01,804
is that I'm able to see through people

232
00:12:01,846 --> 00:12:04,140
who don't tell the whole truth.

233
00:12:04,181 --> 00:12:07,351
Any chance you'd like
to tell me the real plan?

234
00:12:07,393 --> 00:12:09,019
I just told you.

235
00:12:09,061 --> 00:12:11,605
You told me what you
think I want to hear.

236
00:12:14,984 --> 00:12:18,279
Pastor Porter, I'm just
trying to help your community.

237
00:12:18,320 --> 00:12:20,322
Clearly, you're struggling economically.

238
00:12:20,364 --> 00:12:21,949
Almost half your main street is closed,

239
00:12:21,991 --> 00:12:24,869
your church is literally
falling down, and...

240
00:12:24,910 --> 00:12:28,038
And you think your money
can solve all our problems?

241
00:12:28,080 --> 00:12:30,541
Yeah, I think money
solves a lot of things,

242
00:12:30,583 --> 00:12:32,626
like leaking roofs and medical bills.

243
00:12:35,379 --> 00:12:37,715
I do my homework.

244
00:12:37,757 --> 00:12:40,301
Ms. Shaw, there's some
things that can't be bought.

245
00:12:40,342 --> 00:12:41,594
Community is one of them.

246
00:12:41,635 --> 00:12:43,846
Faith is another.

247
00:12:43,888 --> 00:12:45,598
Well, what could
our community and faith

248
00:12:45,639 --> 00:12:47,558
if your buildings collapse?

249
00:12:47,600 --> 00:12:51,437
This church in this
community, we are not for sale.

250
00:12:51,479 --> 00:12:53,105
Everything is, it's just a matter

251
00:12:53,147 --> 00:12:54,899
of finding the right price.

252
00:12:54,940 --> 00:12:56,484
Some things have value that can't be

253
00:12:56,525 --> 00:12:59,528
measured in dollars, Ms. Shaw.

254
00:12:59,570 --> 00:13:03,032
Now, if you please excuse
me, I have work to do.

255
00:13:24,303 --> 00:13:25,387
Hi.

256
00:13:25,429 --> 00:13:26,722
Welcome to the Evergreen Inn.

257
00:13:26,764 --> 00:13:27,681
I'm Nicole.

258
00:13:27,723 --> 00:13:29,892
Can I get you checked in?

259
00:13:29,934 --> 00:13:31,977
Yeah, I think so.

260
00:13:32,019 --> 00:13:35,439
Oh, you must be admiring
our Christmas decorations.

261
00:13:35,481 --> 00:13:37,066
Isn't it wonderful?

262
00:13:37,107 --> 00:13:39,151
We really like to go all out here.

263
00:13:39,193 --> 00:13:43,113
Yeah, you certainly do.

264
00:13:43,155 --> 00:13:44,323
The reservation's under Shaw.

265
00:13:44,365 --> 00:13:45,658
Oh, sure.

266
00:13:45,699 --> 00:13:46,909
Great.

267
00:13:46,951 --> 00:13:48,345
You've come at a perfect time of year.

268
00:13:48,369 --> 00:13:50,049
We have so many wonderful
Christmas events,

269
00:13:50,079 --> 00:13:52,289
so hopefully you're in town
for a while to enjoy them.

270
00:13:52,331 --> 00:13:53,791
No, I won't be staying long.

271
00:13:53,833 --> 00:13:56,126
Oh, can I ask what brings
you to Midnight Clear?

272
00:13:56,168 --> 00:13:57,545
Just doing some business.

273
00:13:57,586 --> 00:13:59,088
And what business are you in?

274
00:13:59,129 --> 00:14:01,715
Are you going to be meeting
with locals around here?

275
00:14:01,757 --> 00:14:02,716
I'm so sorry.

276
00:14:02,758 --> 00:14:03,819
I've had a really long trip.

277
00:14:03,843 --> 00:14:05,177
I just want to get checked in.

278
00:14:05,219 --> 00:14:05,970
No problem.

279
00:14:06,011 --> 00:14:07,011
No problem at all.

280
00:14:12,059 --> 00:14:13,519
Oh, wow.

281
00:14:38,002 --> 00:14:39,002
OK.

282
00:14:43,465 --> 00:14:44,465
Insanity.

283
00:14:58,188 --> 00:15:00,941
OK, let's see what
we're working with here.

284
00:15:38,979 --> 00:15:45,277
So you're the one staying
at the Evergreen Inn?

285
00:15:45,319 --> 00:15:47,279
Hear you're asking
questions about the town.

286
00:15:49,782 --> 00:15:50,532
Well...

287
00:15:50,574 --> 00:15:52,701
Oh, honey.

288
00:15:52,743 --> 00:15:56,080
In a town this size, a sneeze
on Main Street gets you a.

289
00:15:56,121 --> 00:15:58,749
God bless you before
you're even done sneezing.

290
00:15:58,791 --> 00:16:00,000
Name is Betty Collins.

291
00:16:00,042 --> 00:16:01,168
This is my diner.

292
00:16:01,210 --> 00:16:02,211
I'm Hilary Shaw.

293
00:16:02,252 --> 00:16:03,837
It's very nice to meet you.

294
00:16:03,879 --> 00:16:07,633
So what brings a big city
girl to our little old Midnight.

295
00:16:07,675 --> 00:16:09,635
Clear?

296
00:16:09,677 --> 00:16:12,846
Oh, I've been serving pie
and coffee a long time.

297
00:16:12,888 --> 00:16:15,349
I can spot city folk from a country mile.

298
00:16:15,391 --> 00:16:17,768
And those shoes look like they cost

299
00:16:17,810 --> 00:16:21,522
more than most folks here
make in months, maybe years,

300
00:16:21,563 --> 00:16:23,232
maybe more.

301
00:16:23,273 --> 00:16:25,609
Well, I'm here to assess the
area for potential development

302
00:16:25,651 --> 00:16:28,821
opportunities, to revitalize.

303
00:16:28,862 --> 00:16:30,531
That's a fancy word for tearing

304
00:16:30,572 --> 00:16:32,676
things down so you can build
them back up again, isn't it?

305
00:16:32,700 --> 00:16:34,576
No, not necessarily.

306
00:16:34,618 --> 00:16:37,997
Sometimes it means preserving
what matters while creating

307
00:16:38,038 --> 00:16:39,623
new opportunities.

308
00:16:39,665 --> 00:16:41,542
And who decides what matters?

309
00:16:44,753 --> 00:16:46,797
Wow.

310
00:16:46,839 --> 00:16:50,175
This coffee is excellent.

311
00:16:50,217 --> 00:16:52,094
That's the same blend
my folks served when

312
00:16:52,136 --> 00:16:58,267
they opened this place in 1964.

313
00:16:58,308 --> 00:17:02,563
My dad always said a town
needs three things to survive.

314
00:17:02,604 --> 00:17:07,568
A place to pray, a place
to learn, and a place to gather.

315
00:17:07,609 --> 00:17:10,446
We already had a church and a
school, but no place for folks

316
00:17:10,487 --> 00:17:11,697
to just be.

317
00:17:11,739 --> 00:17:14,450
So they opened this.

318
00:17:14,491 --> 00:17:15,451
That's a lovely story.

319
00:17:15,492 --> 00:17:18,037
Oh, it's not a story.

320
00:17:18,078 --> 00:17:19,496
It's family.

321
00:17:19,538 --> 00:17:22,124
It's tradition.

322
00:17:22,166 --> 00:17:26,045
Every booth in here has seen marriage

323
00:17:26,086 --> 00:17:32,217
proposals and business deals,
celebrations, and heartache.

324
00:17:32,259 --> 00:17:34,845
I mean, just think about those things

325
00:17:34,887 --> 00:17:39,475
before you start telling folks
to walk away from all they know.

326
00:17:45,397 --> 00:17:46,397
I should go.

327
00:18:09,505 --> 00:18:12,925
Insurance has denied the claim
for my physical therapy

328
00:18:12,966 --> 00:18:14,134
sessions.

329
00:18:14,176 --> 00:18:15,677
What's the reason this time?

330
00:18:15,719 --> 00:18:18,806
They say it wasn't medically necessary.

331
00:18:18,847 --> 00:18:21,767
Tell that to my hip.

332
00:18:21,809 --> 00:18:23,102
How much was it?

333
00:18:23,143 --> 00:18:26,105
$550.

334
00:18:26,146 --> 00:18:30,984
It's OK, Dad, I'll figure it out.

335
00:18:31,026 --> 00:18:32,736
With what?

336
00:18:32,778 --> 00:18:35,405
You haven't taken a salary from
the church in over six months.

337
00:18:35,447 --> 00:18:37,658
I can't ask people to tithe
more when they're barely

338
00:18:37,699 --> 00:18:39,576
making ends meet themselves.

339
00:18:39,618 --> 00:18:42,121
We're three months behind
on the house payment,

340
00:18:42,162 --> 00:18:45,582
and the church needs a new roof
that's going to cost $15,000.

341
00:18:45,624 --> 00:18:47,960
I still know all of that, too.

342
00:18:48,001 --> 00:18:52,464
You have taught me that faith
and prayer can change things.

343
00:18:52,506 --> 00:18:53,549
Anything.

344
00:18:53,590 --> 00:18:54,550
I agree.

345
00:18:54,591 --> 00:18:57,302
Both powerful weapons.

346
00:18:57,344 --> 00:18:59,680
But given our current situation...

347
00:18:59,721 --> 00:19:02,307
She's got to be kidding.

348
00:19:02,349 --> 00:19:03,559
What are you talking about?

349
00:19:03,600 --> 00:19:05,394
This lady was at the church earlier.

350
00:19:05,435 --> 00:19:08,272
She's back again.

351
00:19:08,313 --> 00:19:09,523
Maybe she's a tourist.

352
00:19:09,565 --> 00:19:11,567
She's not.

353
00:19:11,608 --> 00:19:12,943
How do you know?

354
00:19:12,985 --> 00:19:14,862
Tourists don't come
to Midnight Clear, Dad.

355
00:19:14,903 --> 00:19:16,738
Not anymore.

356
00:19:16,780 --> 00:19:18,657
Not to take pictures of empty storefronts

357
00:19:18,699 --> 00:19:21,660
and churches falling down.

358
00:19:21,702 --> 00:19:23,579
Plus, I talked to her.

359
00:19:23,620 --> 00:19:26,331
I know exactly who she is.

360
00:19:30,961 --> 00:19:32,171
I know you do, Son.

361
00:19:35,090 --> 00:19:37,342
I can't imagine what you're up to,

362
00:19:37,384 --> 00:19:40,679
but whatever it is, thanks in advance

363
00:19:40,721 --> 00:19:41,847
for what you're working on.

364
00:19:50,856 --> 00:19:53,150
Can I help you with something?

365
00:19:53,192 --> 00:19:55,027
It's nice to see you again, Pastor.

366
00:19:55,068 --> 00:19:57,487
I didn't realize anyone would be here.

367
00:19:57,529 --> 00:20:01,950
Well, I do work here, which you know.

368
00:20:01,992 --> 00:20:04,953
All due respect, we've already
discussed where we both stand.

369
00:20:04,995 --> 00:20:08,498
I think this is one of those
moments we agree to disagree.

370
00:20:08,540 --> 00:20:09,958
Pastor Porter, I think we got off

371
00:20:10,000 --> 00:20:11,460
on the wrong foot this morning.

372
00:20:11,501 --> 00:20:13,295
I'd like to start again.

373
00:20:13,337 --> 00:20:15,172
I'm Hilary Shaw.

374
00:20:18,383 --> 00:20:20,052
Daniel Porter.

375
00:20:20,093 --> 00:20:22,429
And you're snooping around because?

376
00:20:22,471 --> 00:20:24,556
I wasn't snooping.

377
00:20:24,598 --> 00:20:26,975
OK, fine, I was snooping.

378
00:20:27,017 --> 00:20:32,272
Look, we specialize in community
revitalization projects.

379
00:20:32,314 --> 00:20:33,440
Community revitalization.

380
00:20:33,482 --> 00:20:34,816
Right.

381
00:20:34,858 --> 00:20:36,818
Historical buildings
can be the centerpieces

382
00:20:36,860 --> 00:20:38,362
of our development projects.

383
00:20:38,403 --> 00:20:39,363
Development projects?

384
00:20:39,404 --> 00:20:40,864
OK.

385
00:20:40,906 --> 00:20:43,867
Modern housing, commercial
spaces, job creation.

386
00:20:43,909 --> 00:20:47,537
We can bring prosperity
back to towns like yours.

387
00:20:47,579 --> 00:20:49,581
Towns like mine.

388
00:20:49,623 --> 00:20:51,750
Pastor, is there a reason
why you keep repeating

389
00:20:51,792 --> 00:20:53,126
everything I'm saying?

390
00:20:53,168 --> 00:20:54,848
Or are you just trying to get me to leave?

391
00:20:56,838 --> 00:20:59,091
I'm not leaving.

392
00:20:59,132 --> 00:21:01,218
I know you care deeply about this town,

393
00:21:01,260 --> 00:21:07,140
but the question is whether
caring is enough to save it.

394
00:21:07,182 --> 00:21:08,767
Save it from who?

395
00:21:08,809 --> 00:21:10,018
You?

396
00:21:10,060 --> 00:21:12,854
From economic collapse.

397
00:21:12,896 --> 00:21:15,732
From becoming a town for sale.

398
00:21:15,774 --> 00:21:17,985
This community has survived
the Great Depression,

399
00:21:18,026 --> 00:21:19,987
two world wars, economic recession, and

400
00:21:20,028 --> 00:21:21,530
natural disasters.

401
00:21:21,571 --> 00:21:23,615
Know how we've done it?

402
00:21:23,657 --> 00:21:28,078
By sticking together and relying on faith.

403
00:21:28,120 --> 00:21:31,123
Can I give you some advice, Ms. Shaw?

404
00:21:31,164 --> 00:21:35,127
If you want to help this
town, get to know us,

405
00:21:35,168 --> 00:21:39,798
realize what we value before
you decide what we need.

406
00:21:39,840 --> 00:21:41,508
That's what I'm trying to do.

407
00:21:41,550 --> 00:21:44,803
No, you are trying to evaluate
our assets and liabilities.

408
00:21:44,845 --> 00:21:47,848
There's a difference... a big one.

409
00:22:05,157 --> 00:22:07,784
Whatever's happening
at the office is not my fault.

410
00:22:07,826 --> 00:22:09,578
I beg to differ.

411
00:22:09,619 --> 00:22:11,538
No one is planning the Christmas party.

412
00:22:11,580 --> 00:22:13,165
Well, I'll be lucky if I can make

413
00:22:13,206 --> 00:22:14,958
it home before Christmas Eve.

414
00:22:15,000 --> 00:22:17,627
Honestly, if I can't convince
these people to sell,

415
00:22:17,669 --> 00:22:19,546
I might as well not come
home because my dad's

416
00:22:19,588 --> 00:22:20,589
going to disown me.

417
00:22:20,630 --> 00:22:22,924
As an employee or daughter?

418
00:22:22,966 --> 00:22:23,925
Both.

419
00:22:23,967 --> 00:22:25,218
That bad?

420
00:22:25,260 --> 00:22:26,738
Yeah, it's not good.

421
00:22:26,762 --> 00:22:28,364
How
long have you been there?

422
00:22:28,388 --> 00:22:30,223
I think less than 24 hours.

423
00:22:30,265 --> 00:22:31,391
I'm sorry.

424
00:22:31,433 --> 00:22:32,493
Did you think that you could seal

425
00:22:32,517 --> 00:22:34,269
up the town in less than a day?

426
00:22:34,311 --> 00:22:35,937
Obviously.

427
00:22:35,979 --> 00:22:38,565
You're
good, but no one is that good.

428
00:22:38,607 --> 00:22:40,442
So who have you all talked to so far?

429
00:22:40,484 --> 00:22:42,903
I had a brief intro with
the owner of the diner.

430
00:22:42,944 --> 00:22:45,322
I spoke to the woman
who runs the inn here.

431
00:22:45,364 --> 00:22:47,657
And... oh, right.

432
00:22:47,699 --> 00:22:49,284
The pastor.

433
00:22:49,326 --> 00:22:52,412
Yeah, it didn't go well
with him either time.

434
00:22:52,454 --> 00:22:54,289
You've visited him twice already?

435
00:22:54,331 --> 00:22:55,374
Mm-hmm.

436
00:22:55,415 --> 00:22:57,125
The first time wasn't ideal.

437
00:22:57,167 --> 00:23:01,004
And then the second time just,
hoo, went downhill from there.

438
00:23:01,046 --> 00:23:03,673
So leave the pastor for now.

439
00:23:03,715 --> 00:23:06,093
Talk to everybody else.

440
00:23:06,134 --> 00:23:09,054
That's what Daniel said.

441
00:23:09,096 --> 00:23:12,682
I mean, the... the pastor.

442
00:23:12,724 --> 00:23:14,059
OK, well, thanks, Brandon.

443
00:23:14,101 --> 00:23:15,185
I appreciate all your help.

444
00:23:15,227 --> 00:23:16,520
Anytime.

445
00:23:16,561 --> 00:23:17,561
You know this.

446
00:23:20,524 --> 00:23:22,943
All right, let's get to know this town.

447
00:23:27,823 --> 00:23:30,826
All I'm saying is, whatever this company

448
00:23:30,867 --> 00:23:35,372
offers could be a chance
to get folks back on track.

449
00:23:35,414 --> 00:23:37,499
We're two weeks from Christmas, and

450
00:23:37,541 --> 00:23:39,626
half our businesses
have already informed me

451
00:23:39,668 --> 00:23:41,753
they can't make January rent.

452
00:23:41,795 --> 00:23:44,172
How are we going to fund
the Christmas festival?

453
00:23:44,214 --> 00:23:46,550
We already know the church
can't help out anymore.

454
00:23:46,591 --> 00:23:48,427
The church never let the town down.

455
00:23:48,468 --> 00:23:49,761
It's not going to start now.

456
00:23:49,803 --> 00:23:52,055
You say that, Frank, but things are not

457
00:23:52,097 --> 00:23:53,765
the same as they used to be.

458
00:23:53,807 --> 00:23:55,475
It's true.

459
00:23:55,517 --> 00:23:59,604
Bookings at the Inn are down
50% from this time last year.

460
00:23:59,646 --> 00:24:05,694
I hate to say it, but if that
company offers enough to pay off

461
00:24:05,735 --> 00:24:08,780
debts, I'm afraid that people are going

462
00:24:08,822 --> 00:24:10,490
to take the money and move.

463
00:24:10,532 --> 00:24:12,075
I know.

464
00:24:12,117 --> 00:24:14,703
I know, but we can't just
go selling our properties

465
00:24:14,744 --> 00:24:15,871
to the highest bidder.

466
00:24:15,912 --> 00:24:17,414
Nicole, I hear you.

467
00:24:17,456 --> 00:24:18,707
We all do.

468
00:24:18,748 --> 00:24:21,418
But families are leaving.

469
00:24:21,460 --> 00:24:23,962
If we don't do something
to change things,

470
00:24:24,004 --> 00:24:25,797
there's not going to be enough left of us

471
00:24:25,839 --> 00:24:27,507
to keep this town working.

472
00:24:34,556 --> 00:24:35,724
Sorry to interrupt.

473
00:24:35,765 --> 00:24:37,100
I'm Hilary Shaw from

474
00:24:40,228 --> 00:24:41,146
right.

475
00:24:41,188 --> 00:24:42,689
You already know who I am.

476
00:24:42,731 --> 00:24:46,568
We were just talking
about you, and your company.

477
00:24:46,610 --> 00:24:47,861
Noted.

478
00:24:47,903 --> 00:24:50,864
Thank you for your honesty, Mister...

479
00:24:50,906 --> 00:24:53,492
Frank Porter.

480
00:24:53,533 --> 00:24:54,826
I'm Daniel's father.

481
00:24:54,868 --> 00:24:56,077
Oh.

482
00:24:56,119 --> 00:24:57,704
I believe you two have already met.

483
00:24:57,746 --> 00:24:59,372
Indeed we have.

484
00:24:59,414 --> 00:25:01,249
I was hoping to get a coffee to go.

485
00:25:01,291 --> 00:25:02,959
Coming right up.

486
00:25:03,001 --> 00:25:05,629
We're just decorating cookies
for the Christmas festival.

487
00:25:05,670 --> 00:25:07,756
If we can even have it.

488
00:25:07,797 --> 00:25:09,633
Feel free to help out if you like.

489
00:25:09,674 --> 00:25:11,510
Oh, I don't think I'd
be very good company.

490
00:25:11,551 --> 00:25:12,761
Thank you though.

491
00:25:12,802 --> 00:25:14,554
Does anyone have
any recommendations

492
00:25:14,596 --> 00:25:16,181
for a business I can visit?

493
00:25:16,223 --> 00:25:19,226
I was hoping to get to know
the town while I'm here.

494
00:25:19,267 --> 00:25:22,395
I got a place.

495
00:25:22,437 --> 00:25:24,523
If anyone has any questions, I'll be

496
00:25:24,564 --> 00:25:26,107
staying at the Evergreen Inn.

497
00:25:26,149 --> 00:25:28,777
Happy to talk one on one.

498
00:25:28,818 --> 00:25:31,029
OK?

499
00:25:31,071 --> 00:25:32,071
Thank you.

500
00:25:36,117 --> 00:25:37,117
Bye, Dad.

501
00:25:41,456 --> 00:25:43,583
Break's over.

502
00:25:43,625 --> 00:25:45,043
Let's get back to these cookies.

503
00:25:49,297 --> 00:25:51,341
Thank you for taking the time.

504
00:25:51,383 --> 00:25:53,552
Thank you, sir,
for lending me some of yours.

505
00:25:53,593 --> 00:25:54,678
It's Frank.

506
00:25:54,719 --> 00:25:55,762
May I call you Hilary?

507
00:25:55,804 --> 00:25:57,055
Mm-hmm.

508
00:25:57,097 --> 00:25:58,449
You know, Hilary, I was in the church

509
00:25:58,473 --> 00:26:01,184
when you and Daniel
had your first meeting.

510
00:26:01,226 --> 00:26:02,978
I'm not sure I'd call it a meeting.

511
00:26:03,019 --> 00:26:04,813
It felt more like round one.

512
00:26:04,854 --> 00:26:08,567
Isn't that what business
meetings sometimes are?

513
00:26:08,608 --> 00:26:10,485
Your son is a very strong-willed man.

514
00:26:10,527 --> 00:26:11,611
Yeah.

515
00:26:11,653 --> 00:26:12,821
Don't I know it.

516
00:26:24,040 --> 00:26:26,209
I was hoping I'd see you today.

517
00:26:26,251 --> 00:26:29,170
And I was hoping
the same thing about you.

518
00:26:29,212 --> 00:26:30,213
I'm Hilary Shaw.

519
00:26:30,255 --> 00:26:31,339
Oh.

520
00:26:31,381 --> 00:26:34,968
Oh, she's a friend of Daniel's.

521
00:26:35,010 --> 00:26:36,803
I asked her to join me here for a bit

522
00:26:36,845 --> 00:26:39,306
of Midnight Clear Christmas history.

523
00:26:39,347 --> 00:26:40,557
Good to meet you.

524
00:26:40,599 --> 00:26:43,310
Have a seat.

525
00:26:43,351 --> 00:26:47,355
I sure remember this day.

526
00:26:47,397 --> 00:26:51,568
Christmas, 1968.

527
00:26:51,610 --> 00:26:54,362
My father was the pastor then.

528
00:26:54,404 --> 00:26:58,033
We had a brutal snowstorm
that lasted for days,

529
00:26:58,074 --> 00:27:00,869
and the church roof couldn't
support all the snow,

530
00:27:00,910 --> 00:27:02,329
and it collapsed.

531
00:27:02,370 --> 00:27:03,330
That's terrible.

532
00:27:03,371 --> 00:27:04,289
On Christmas Eve?

533
00:27:04,331 --> 00:27:05,332
Yep.

534
00:27:05,373 --> 00:27:07,584
Hours before our annual service.

535
00:27:07,626 --> 00:27:12,088
The sanctuary was covered
in snow and broken beams.

536
00:27:12,130 --> 00:27:14,382
Tell her what happened next, Frank.

537
00:27:14,424 --> 00:27:17,636
Well, seeing as how the first
church at Midnight Clear

538
00:27:17,677 --> 00:27:23,141
collapsed, it struck a bit
of a chord with the community.

539
00:27:23,183 --> 00:27:27,479
We turned to see the entire
town walking down.

540
00:27:27,520 --> 00:27:31,650
Main Street with shovels and...
and... and tools and tarps

541
00:27:31,691 --> 00:27:34,736
and you name it.

542
00:27:34,778 --> 00:27:38,573
And by 6:30, we had
a makeshift sanctuary.

543
00:27:38,615 --> 00:27:41,284
And that Christmas Eve
service was the most beautiful

544
00:27:41,326 --> 00:27:43,578
this town has ever seen.

545
00:27:43,620 --> 00:27:46,706
That's when
I met my late husband.

546
00:27:46,748 --> 00:27:49,876
He was helping clear
the snow, and I was making

547
00:27:49,918 --> 00:27:53,380
hot cocoa for the workers.

548
00:27:53,421 --> 00:27:56,216
So how long has
the church been the center

549
00:27:56,257 --> 00:27:58,093
of all your Christmases?

550
00:27:58,134 --> 00:28:00,303
Since the very beginning.

551
00:28:00,345 --> 00:28:05,850
It's beautiful, all these
families, all these Christmases.

552
00:28:05,892 --> 00:28:08,019
Ms. Shaw, Would
you like to share some

553
00:28:08,061 --> 00:28:10,563
of your family's traditions?

554
00:28:10,605 --> 00:28:12,065
Oh, no.

555
00:28:12,107 --> 00:28:16,736
No, I just... I'd rather
hear about Midnight Clear.

556
00:28:16,778 --> 00:28:18,822
I don't know if you'll
still be in town, Hilary,

557
00:28:18,863 --> 00:28:22,867
but Christmas Eve here is
nothing like you've ever seen.

558
00:28:22,909 --> 00:28:26,496
After the candlelight service,
the whole town gathers

559
00:28:26,538 --> 00:28:27,956
to sing Christmas carols.

560
00:28:27,997 --> 00:28:29,791
And then we walk down Main Street

561
00:28:29,833 --> 00:28:32,961
to the diner for hot cider and cocoa,

562
00:28:33,002 --> 00:28:37,465
and Betty's famous Christmas cookies.

563
00:28:37,507 --> 00:28:38,675
OK.

564
00:28:38,717 --> 00:28:40,301
Thank you for your time.

565
00:28:40,343 --> 00:28:42,095
I'm just... I have to go.

566
00:28:42,137 --> 00:28:43,680
I have another meeting.

567
00:28:43,722 --> 00:28:45,014
I'm really busy while I'm here.

568
00:28:45,056 --> 00:28:47,308
Thank you.

569
00:29:01,573 --> 00:29:02,699
Hi, dad.

570
00:29:02,741 --> 00:29:03,950
How's everything going?

571
00:29:03,992 --> 00:29:05,076
It's OK.

572
00:29:05,118 --> 00:29:07,120
A little complicated.

573
00:29:07,162 --> 00:29:09,414
How so?

574
00:29:09,456 --> 00:29:12,959
This isn't just another
failing small town, Dad.

575
00:29:13,001 --> 00:29:15,170
They have a strong community.

576
00:29:15,211 --> 00:29:18,590
They all start off
as strong communities, Hilary.

577
00:29:18,631 --> 00:29:19,632
I don't know.

578
00:29:19,674 --> 00:29:21,426
Midnight Clear feels different.

579
00:29:21,468 --> 00:29:23,678
Well,
the good news is you've only

580
00:29:23,720 --> 00:29:26,055
been there for a short while.

581
00:29:26,097 --> 00:29:27,682
True.

582
00:29:27,724 --> 00:29:30,477
But I think there are some
properties worth preserving.

583
00:29:30,518 --> 00:29:32,854
We're in the business
of building a future,

584
00:29:32,896 --> 00:29:34,189
not maintaining a past.

585
00:29:34,230 --> 00:29:35,732
Right.

586
00:29:35,774 --> 00:29:39,277
I know, but what if the past
is worth maintaining?

587
00:29:39,319 --> 00:29:41,404
Please do not get sidetracked.

588
00:29:41,446 --> 00:29:43,698
Remember why you're there.

589
00:29:43,740 --> 00:29:47,076
Yes, to evaluate business opportunities.

590
00:29:47,118 --> 00:29:48,036
No.

591
00:29:48,077 --> 00:29:50,121
To close a business deal.

592
00:29:50,163 --> 00:29:50,914
OK.

593
00:29:50,955 --> 00:29:52,123
Hear me out.

594
00:29:52,165 --> 00:29:53,517
What if... what if we could find a way

595
00:29:53,541 --> 00:29:56,294
to develop what's here without destroying

596
00:29:56,336 --> 00:29:58,004
what makes it special?

597
00:29:58,046 --> 00:30:01,007
What makes it special is the
location and the price point.

598
00:30:01,049 --> 00:30:03,968
Everything else is just sentiment.

599
00:30:04,010 --> 00:30:06,221
Well, what if sentiment matters, Dad?

600
00:30:06,262 --> 00:30:08,598
Not to our investors.

601
00:30:08,640 --> 00:30:10,892
Hilary, I need you focused.

602
00:30:10,934 --> 00:30:15,855
Can you finish this job or
should I send somebody who can?

603
00:30:15,897 --> 00:30:17,899
I can handle it.

604
00:30:17,941 --> 00:30:19,776
Good.

605
00:30:19,818 --> 00:30:22,821
Now, make contact with
the key players tomorrow.

606
00:30:22,862 --> 00:30:25,406
Start with the pastor, since
he's the biggest obstacle

607
00:30:25,448 --> 00:30:26,950
of the church property.

608
00:30:26,991 --> 00:30:29,285
I don't think the pastor
is going to agree to that.

609
00:30:29,327 --> 00:30:31,371
That
church is the centerpiece

610
00:30:31,412 --> 00:30:32,997
to the whole development.

611
00:30:33,039 --> 00:30:35,667
Without it, the project doesn't work.

612
00:30:35,708 --> 00:30:37,335
Get him to sign off on this.

613
00:30:56,229 --> 00:30:58,898
Good morning, Pastor Porter.

614
00:30:58,940 --> 00:31:00,483
Ms. Shaw.

615
00:31:00,525 --> 00:31:03,069
I wanted to bring you a coffee.

616
00:31:03,111 --> 00:31:05,405
I was hoping that this
could be a peace offering.

617
00:31:05,446 --> 00:31:06,197
Why?

618
00:31:06,239 --> 00:31:08,825
Are we at war?

619
00:31:08,867 --> 00:31:10,326
It's actually thoughtful.

620
00:31:10,368 --> 00:31:11,286
Thank you.

621
00:31:11,327 --> 00:31:12,787
You sound surprised.

622
00:31:12,829 --> 00:31:14,998
Well, my dad seems
to be warming to you,

623
00:31:15,039 --> 00:31:18,793
but I'm still trying to figure you out.

624
00:31:18,835 --> 00:31:21,087
Oh, I have Christmas cookies.

625
00:31:21,129 --> 00:31:25,049
Betty insisted when she knew
that the second coffee was

626
00:31:25,091 --> 00:31:26,259
for you.

627
00:31:26,301 --> 00:31:29,220
Very, very popular, Pastor Porter.

628
00:31:29,262 --> 00:31:31,306
Daniel, please.

629
00:31:31,347 --> 00:31:34,100
It's Hilary then.

630
00:31:34,142 --> 00:31:36,519
Good morning, ladies.

631
00:31:41,316 --> 00:31:42,942
How long until the whole town knows

632
00:31:42,984 --> 00:31:45,653
that you're sharing cookies
and coffee with the enemy?

633
00:31:45,695 --> 00:31:48,114
Oh, they already know.

634
00:31:48,156 --> 00:31:49,824
So what are you doing here?

635
00:31:49,866 --> 00:31:51,659
Fixing a pew.

636
00:31:51,701 --> 00:31:53,328
You need any help?

637
00:31:53,369 --> 00:31:54,996
You know how to fix pews?

638
00:31:55,038 --> 00:31:57,790
No, but I know how to hold things

639
00:31:57,832 --> 00:32:00,126
while someone else fixes them.

640
00:32:00,168 --> 00:32:01,168
OK.

641
00:32:04,380 --> 00:32:05,757
Hold here.

642
00:32:19,604 --> 00:32:21,940
Morning, Grandpa.

643
00:32:21,981 --> 00:32:23,107
What are you doing?

644
00:32:23,149 --> 00:32:25,026
Just watching over things.

645
00:32:25,068 --> 00:32:26,027
What things?

646
00:32:26,069 --> 00:32:27,320
I don't see anything.

647
00:32:27,362 --> 00:32:28,947
That's because from where you are,

648
00:32:28,988 --> 00:32:32,241
you're only focused on one thing.

649
00:32:32,283 --> 00:32:37,288
We fix our eyes not on what
is seen, but what is unseen.

650
00:32:37,330 --> 00:32:42,502
For what is seen is temporary,
and what is unseen is heavenly.

651
00:32:42,543 --> 00:32:44,295
Grandpa, I'm on Christmas break, which

652
00:32:44,337 --> 00:32:46,255
means I don't want to learn.

653
00:32:46,297 --> 00:32:49,258
Your uncle's
in the church with Ms. Shaw.

654
00:32:49,300 --> 00:32:53,596
I believe he is finally
starting to let his guard down.

655
00:32:53,638 --> 00:32:55,807
As is she.

656
00:32:55,848 --> 00:32:57,475
How do you know that?

657
00:32:57,517 --> 00:33:00,895
By looking not at what is
in front of our eyes, but what

658
00:33:00,937 --> 00:33:06,359
is unseen, 2 Corinthians 4:18.

659
00:33:06,401 --> 00:33:07,860
Look it up.

660
00:33:07,902 --> 00:33:11,030
Grandpa, I love you,
but I told you and Uncle D,

661
00:33:11,072 --> 00:33:14,659
I'm not interested in the family business.

662
00:33:14,701 --> 00:33:15,701
We'll see.

663
00:33:20,540 --> 00:33:22,250
Oh.

664
00:33:22,291 --> 00:33:29,549
Hey, Uncle D. I'm heading out
to go work at the tree farm now.

665
00:33:29,590 --> 00:33:31,050
Thanks, Tommy.

666
00:33:31,092 --> 00:33:32,969
Your grandfather OK?

667
00:33:33,011 --> 00:33:36,931
He was staring out a window when I left.

668
00:33:36,973 --> 00:33:38,933
Tommy, this is Ms. Shaw.

669
00:33:38,975 --> 00:33:40,435
Right.

670
00:33:40,476 --> 00:33:45,148
Grandpa said something
about letting guards down.

671
00:33:45,189 --> 00:33:49,110
Then he read me some scripture
I did not understand.

672
00:33:49,152 --> 00:33:52,655
So you're that development lady, huh?

673
00:33:52,697 --> 00:33:53,865
Guilty as charged.

674
00:33:53,906 --> 00:33:56,200
You here to offer us a good deal?

675
00:33:56,242 --> 00:33:59,787
Your uncle has been very
strong-willed at refusing.

676
00:33:59,829 --> 00:34:03,166
Yeah, he... he gets like that.

677
00:34:03,207 --> 00:34:04,500
Anyways, I gotta go.

678
00:34:04,542 --> 00:34:05,626
Nice meeting you, Ms. Shaw.

679
00:34:05,668 --> 00:34:06,668
Bye.

680
00:34:11,799 --> 00:34:14,052
Sorry about that.

681
00:34:14,093 --> 00:34:15,178
Seems like a good kid.

682
00:34:15,219 --> 00:34:16,846
Oh, he is

683
00:34:16,888 --> 00:34:18,890
mostly.

684
00:34:18,931 --> 00:34:21,726
Well, I'll let you get back to work.

685
00:34:21,768 --> 00:34:23,436
If you want, I...

686
00:34:23,478 --> 00:34:25,271
I could show you around town later.

687
00:34:25,313 --> 00:34:27,690
Spots the tourists don't see.

688
00:34:27,732 --> 00:34:29,650
I'm not exactly a tourist, am I?

689
00:34:29,692 --> 00:34:32,361
No, you are most definitely not.

690
00:34:32,403 --> 00:34:35,364
But I'd still be willing to show you.

691
00:34:35,406 --> 00:34:37,658
I'd like that.

692
00:34:37,700 --> 00:34:40,453
Pick you up in an hour?

693
00:34:40,495 --> 00:34:42,205
See you soon.

694
00:34:57,428 --> 00:34:58,304
Oh, sorry.

695
00:34:58,346 --> 00:34:59,138
I'm so sorry.

696
00:34:59,180 --> 00:35:00,640
No, that's OK.

697
00:35:00,681 --> 00:35:01,641
Are you OK?

698
00:35:01,682 --> 00:35:03,059
I'm fine.

699
00:35:03,101 --> 00:35:05,770
Are you off to a big
meeting or something?

700
00:35:05,812 --> 00:35:07,396
Not exactly.

701
00:35:07,438 --> 00:35:09,315
Well, I really hope
you're enjoying the day.

702
00:35:09,357 --> 00:35:11,275
I... I mean, I know
you're here on business.

703
00:35:11,317 --> 00:35:13,611
Do you... do you know where
I could buy a pair of boots

704
00:35:13,653 --> 00:35:15,738
for, like, walking in the snow?

705
00:35:15,780 --> 00:35:17,198
I didn't pack strategically.

706
00:35:17,240 --> 00:35:19,075
I'm... I have nothing.

707
00:35:19,117 --> 00:35:21,953
OK, well, what shoe size are you?

708
00:35:21,994 --> 00:35:23,162
9?

709
00:35:23,204 --> 00:35:23,955
Yeah?

710
00:35:23,996 --> 00:35:25,289
Yeah.

711
00:35:25,331 --> 00:35:27,917
Yeah, I... I can drop a pair off in a few.

712
00:35:27,959 --> 00:35:29,418
Nicole, right?

713
00:35:29,460 --> 00:35:30,461
Yeah.

714
00:35:30,503 --> 00:35:32,171
Thank you.

715
00:35:32,213 --> 00:35:33,840
My pleasure.

716
00:35:33,881 --> 00:35:35,633
- OK, I'll see you later.
- Have a good day.

717
00:35:35,675 --> 00:35:36,425
Bye.

718
00:35:36,467 --> 00:35:37,552
Bye.

719
00:35:46,769 --> 00:35:47,769
What?

720
00:35:50,189 --> 00:35:51,983
Nothing.

721
00:35:52,024 --> 00:35:55,278
I was just wondering when
you had time to go shopping.

722
00:35:55,319 --> 00:35:57,738
Maybe I brought these with me.

723
00:35:57,780 --> 00:36:01,909
Nicole, she lent me a few things.

724
00:36:01,951 --> 00:36:04,829
Do I still look like I don't belong?

725
00:36:04,871 --> 00:36:07,165
Just the opposite.

726
00:36:07,206 --> 00:36:08,206
Come on.

727
00:36:21,345 --> 00:36:22,847
Sorry, I don't...

728
00:36:22,889 --> 00:36:24,658
I don't mean to be rude,
but am I missing something?

729
00:36:24,682 --> 00:36:27,768
This... this just looks like
a field covered in snow.

730
00:36:27,810 --> 00:36:30,271
That's what it is now.

731
00:36:30,313 --> 00:36:34,817
But spring through fall,
it's a community garden.

732
00:36:34,859 --> 00:36:36,569
Every family in town gets a plot,

733
00:36:36,611 --> 00:36:39,155
and folks share what they grow.

734
00:36:39,197 --> 00:36:41,991
The Abbotts plant extra tomatoes
because the Joneses love them

735
00:36:42,033 --> 00:36:44,702
but can't get theirs to ripen.

736
00:36:44,744 --> 00:36:47,663
The Browns plants mostly
all of our lettuce.

737
00:36:47,705 --> 00:36:52,585
And Nicole plants all
of our flowers way over there.

738
00:36:52,627 --> 00:36:54,670
So what do people do in the winter?

739
00:36:54,712 --> 00:36:57,173
Plan for next year.

740
00:36:57,215 --> 00:37:00,343
My point is, is we all
look out for each other.

741
00:37:00,384 --> 00:37:02,678
Count on one another.

742
00:37:02,720 --> 00:37:05,473
I don't think I've ever had
anyone count on me like that.

743
00:37:05,514 --> 00:37:07,058
Your father does, doesn't he?

744
00:37:09,560 --> 00:37:11,479
He counts on my successes.

745
00:37:11,520 --> 00:37:12,521
It's not the same.

746
00:37:15,691 --> 00:37:16,776
What do you count on?

747
00:37:19,695 --> 00:37:27,695
My job, my reputation, and
my ability to get things done.

748
00:37:28,204 --> 00:37:33,417
That sounds lonely.

749
00:37:33,459 --> 00:37:36,003
It is.

750
00:37:36,045 --> 00:37:39,924
Anyway, where to next?

751
00:37:54,981 --> 00:37:55,981
After you.

752
00:37:58,818 --> 00:38:01,862
This is all that's left
of the first church that was

753
00:38:01,904 --> 00:38:03,864
built here in Midnight Clear.

754
00:38:03,906 --> 00:38:08,119
Despite efforts to preserve it,
it just wasn't safe anymore.

755
00:38:08,160 --> 00:38:10,830
So Dad built another one.

756
00:38:10,871 --> 00:38:13,374
But folks around here
keep its memory alive.

757
00:38:17,586 --> 00:38:21,299
In the summer, people gather
here for plays, live music,

758
00:38:21,340 --> 00:38:22,466
even outdoor weddings.

759
00:38:22,508 --> 00:38:25,970
And next week, if we can pull it off,

760
00:38:26,012 --> 00:38:29,473
it'll be host to the Christmas
tidings and tree celebration.

761
00:38:29,515 --> 00:38:32,226
Why wouldn't you be able to pull it off?

762
00:38:32,268 --> 00:38:34,895
Costs are up and our budget is down.

763
00:38:34,937 --> 00:38:36,605
Two, please.

764
00:38:36,647 --> 00:38:40,192
The committee's meeting in the
morning to go over finances.

765
00:38:40,234 --> 00:38:41,360
Thank you.

766
00:38:41,402 --> 00:38:42,402
Thanks.

767
00:38:47,283 --> 00:38:49,618
Thank you for today.

768
00:38:49,660 --> 00:38:52,997
Well, thank you for really
seeing it like we do.

769
00:38:53,039 --> 00:38:55,333
Yeah, it's... it's growing on me.

770
00:38:58,210 --> 00:38:59,962
So what's her name?

771
00:39:00,004 --> 00:39:01,005
Sorry?

772
00:39:01,047 --> 00:39:02,423
Oh, your wife.

773
00:39:02,465 --> 00:39:05,509
I... sorry, I just
assumed you were married.

774
00:39:05,551 --> 00:39:06,677
You had a ring on.

775
00:39:06,719 --> 00:39:07,887
- Oh...
- Sorry.

776
00:39:07,928 --> 00:39:08,929
It's none of my business.

777
00:39:08,971 --> 00:39:09,930
I didn't mean to...

778
00:39:09,972 --> 00:39:11,098
No, no, no, no.

779
00:39:11,140 --> 00:39:13,100
It's OK.

780
00:39:13,142 --> 00:39:15,644
I was married.

781
00:39:15,686 --> 00:39:18,314
My wife, she... she passed away.

782
00:39:20,983 --> 00:39:22,943
I'm so sorry.

783
00:39:22,985 --> 00:39:23,944
It's OK.

784
00:39:23,986 --> 00:39:24,987
It was a long time ago.

785
00:39:28,532 --> 00:39:31,327
That's... that's the end of the tour.

786
00:39:31,369 --> 00:39:35,706
We should probably get going.

787
00:39:35,748 --> 00:39:37,958
Sorry if I said something about your wife.

788
00:39:38,000 --> 00:39:39,377
I did not mean to...

789
00:39:39,418 --> 00:39:41,462
Not at all.

790
00:39:41,504 --> 00:39:44,465
Yeah, I should get back
to work anyway, I just...

791
00:39:44,507 --> 00:39:46,801
OK, I have everything.

792
00:39:46,842 --> 00:39:48,219
Yeah, I'm going walk.

793
00:39:48,260 --> 00:39:49,595
You sure?

794
00:39:49,637 --> 00:39:52,264
Yeah.

795
00:39:52,306 --> 00:39:53,516
Thanks for today, Daniel.

796
00:40:11,659 --> 00:40:14,620
Dad, what's going on in here?

797
00:40:14,662 --> 00:40:16,789
I had Tommy bring these down.

798
00:40:16,831 --> 00:40:19,083
These are our Christmas
tree ornaments.

799
00:40:19,125 --> 00:40:22,128
We haven't put up a tree since Beth.

800
00:40:22,169 --> 00:40:23,796
And it's time.

801
00:40:23,838 --> 00:40:25,506
This year, we are going to have an all

802
00:40:25,548 --> 00:40:27,341
out holly jolly Christmas.

803
00:40:30,219 --> 00:40:32,721
Well, we can't decorate tonight, though.

804
00:40:32,763 --> 00:40:33,931
We don't have a tree.

805
00:40:37,184 --> 00:40:40,855
It's too late to start tonight, though.

806
00:40:40,896 --> 00:40:41,897
We'll decorate tomorrow.

807
00:40:46,110 --> 00:40:46,986
Hilary's pretty.

808
00:40:47,027 --> 00:40:49,405
Dad, don't.

809
00:40:49,447 --> 00:40:51,824
She is here to buy the church.

810
00:40:51,866 --> 00:40:55,703
Looks to me like she might be
here to fall in love with it.

811
00:40:55,744 --> 00:40:57,288
I hope you're right.

812
00:40:57,329 --> 00:41:00,291
I have been praying
for an answer to our problem.

813
00:41:00,332 --> 00:41:02,042
Maybe she's it.

814
00:41:02,084 --> 00:41:06,630
And what if she's the problem?

815
00:41:06,672 --> 00:41:09,216
That's not up to you, is it?

816
00:41:09,258 --> 00:41:11,802
That's up to God.

817
00:41:27,735 --> 00:41:29,445
I'll be quick.

818
00:41:29,487 --> 00:41:33,491
Bottom line is we need $3,500 to
cover the insurance and permits.

819
00:41:33,532 --> 00:41:39,288
Without it, there's no
tidings and trees celebration.

820
00:41:39,330 --> 00:41:41,332
There has to be something we can do.

821
00:41:41,373 --> 00:41:42,583
How about a bake sale?

822
00:41:42,625 --> 00:41:44,835
I'll donate and organize the whole town.

823
00:41:44,877 --> 00:41:48,172
Betty, we'd need to sell
1,000 overpriced pies to raise

824
00:41:48,214 --> 00:41:49,507
the kind of money we need.

825
00:41:54,470 --> 00:41:55,221
Sorry.

826
00:41:55,262 --> 00:41:56,222
Are you closed?

827
00:41:56,263 --> 00:41:58,349
We... we

828
00:41:58,390 --> 00:41:59,183
nope.

829
00:41:59,225 --> 00:42:01,227
Come on in.

830
00:42:01,268 --> 00:42:02,061
Coffee?

831
00:42:02,102 --> 00:42:03,102
Sure.

832
00:42:07,149 --> 00:42:10,653
Actually, Ms. Shaw can hear
this as it affects the town.

833
00:42:10,694 --> 00:42:13,239
And well, for better
or worse, your company

834
00:42:13,280 --> 00:42:14,949
might be part of our future.

835
00:42:14,990 --> 00:42:16,825
Well, I'm happy to answer any questions.

836
00:42:16,867 --> 00:42:20,871
Right now, we're trying to
save our Christmas celebration.

837
00:42:20,913 --> 00:42:22,289
Dan... Dan...

838
00:42:22,331 --> 00:42:25,584
I mean, Pastor Porter,
he mentioned an issue.

839
00:42:25,626 --> 00:42:29,672
Just a minor detail of $3,500.

840
00:42:29,713 --> 00:42:31,090
Thanks.

841
00:42:31,131 --> 00:42:32,341
I don't need any change.

842
00:42:32,383 --> 00:42:33,592
Thanks, Betty.

843
00:42:33,634 --> 00:42:36,095
I'll let you guys get back to it.

844
00:42:36,136 --> 00:42:39,390
Can I talk to you for a sec?

845
00:42:39,431 --> 00:42:43,394
There's no way we can
come up with $3,500.

846
00:42:43,435 --> 00:42:45,020
There's got to be a way.

847
00:42:45,062 --> 00:42:46,981
I mean, we've had bigger
challenges than this.

848
00:42:47,022 --> 00:42:49,024
We're just... $3,500 divided by how many

849
00:42:49,066 --> 00:42:50,734
people in the town,
or how many families,

850
00:42:50,776 --> 00:42:52,027
or how many businesses?

851
00:42:52,069 --> 00:42:52,820
There's... there's a solution to this.

852
00:42:52,861 --> 00:42:54,446
There always is.

853
00:42:54,488 --> 00:42:55,715
I think we could
just put our heads together.

854
00:42:55,739 --> 00:42:56,907
What?

855
00:42:56,949 --> 00:43:00,327
Hilary just donated money.

856
00:43:00,369 --> 00:43:01,537
How much?

857
00:43:01,579 --> 00:43:02,496
All of it.

858
00:43:02,538 --> 00:43:03,455
What?

859
00:43:03,497 --> 00:43:04,623
She's covering everything.

860
00:43:04,665 --> 00:43:05,916
All the costs.

861
00:43:05,958 --> 00:43:08,294
And just like that, we

862
00:43:08,335 --> 00:43:09,878
have ourselves the Christmas tidings

863
00:43:09,920 --> 00:43:11,338
and tree celebration after all.

864
00:43:11,380 --> 00:43:12,172
Woo-hoo.

865
00:43:12,214 --> 00:43:13,132
Yeah.

866
00:43:13,173 --> 00:43:15,175
Thank you.

867
00:43:36,405 --> 00:43:38,032
Good morning, Father.

868
00:43:38,073 --> 00:43:40,451
A little early for a check in, isn't it?

869
00:43:40,492 --> 00:43:42,953
I thought
you'd call last night.

870
00:43:42,995 --> 00:43:45,247
Yeah, I was just getting to know

871
00:43:45,289 --> 00:43:48,083
the town like you suggested.

872
00:43:48,125 --> 00:43:50,127
How
are the signatures coming?

873
00:43:50,169 --> 00:43:53,589
I... I haven't done that yet.

874
00:43:53,631 --> 00:43:56,842
Look, the town is financially
desperate, and they

875
00:43:56,884 --> 00:43:59,470
they almost didn't have their
Christmas festival this year.

876
00:43:59,511 --> 00:44:00,888
Yeah, perfect.

877
00:44:00,929 --> 00:44:02,389
Use Christmas.

878
00:44:02,431 --> 00:44:05,267
Promise them the best
festival they've ever had.

879
00:44:05,309 --> 00:44:06,977
It's a great idea, Dad.

880
00:44:07,019 --> 00:44:08,479
What about the church?

881
00:44:08,520 --> 00:44:10,165
You're
letting your emotions

882
00:44:10,189 --> 00:44:11,857
cloud your judgment.

883
00:44:11,899 --> 00:44:14,151
Remember who you work for.

884
00:44:14,193 --> 00:44:15,903
Get those signatures by Christmas Eve,

885
00:44:15,944 --> 00:44:17,154
or I'll find someone who can.

886
00:44:29,833 --> 00:44:33,379
Historic preservation grants.

887
00:44:38,008 --> 00:44:40,844
Ooh, what about this one?

888
00:44:40,886 --> 00:44:42,471
Could be your Christmas tree this year.

889
00:44:42,513 --> 00:44:44,807
Not without opening up a hole in my roof.

890
00:44:44,848 --> 00:44:46,433
Oh, maybe the snow will cave in first

891
00:44:46,475 --> 00:44:48,102
and then you can get it.

892
00:44:48,143 --> 00:44:48,894
What?

893
00:44:48,936 --> 00:44:49,937
I'm kidding.

894
00:44:49,978 --> 00:44:51,105
I'm kidding.

895
00:44:51,146 --> 00:44:53,524
Not funny.

896
00:44:53,565 --> 00:44:54,858
Hey, look who just walked in.

897
00:44:54,900 --> 00:44:57,444
Hey, Ms. Shaw, over here.

898
00:44:57,486 --> 00:44:59,029
Hey.

899
00:44:59,071 --> 00:45:00,572
What?

900
00:45:00,614 --> 00:45:02,783
I thought we could maybe
thank her for her donation.

901
00:45:06,245 --> 00:45:07,121
Hi.

902
00:45:07,162 --> 00:45:08,706
Hey, guys.

903
00:45:08,747 --> 00:45:10,624
I'm going to go help
a friend at the stands.

904
00:45:10,666 --> 00:45:13,001
I thought you were going
to help me get a tree.

905
00:45:13,043 --> 00:45:15,671
I was.

906
00:45:15,713 --> 00:45:18,257
Hey, Ms. Shaw, what are
you doing right now?

907
00:45:18,298 --> 00:45:19,550
Nothing really.

908
00:45:19,591 --> 00:45:20,884
Great.

909
00:45:20,926 --> 00:45:22,362
I'm going to go help with hot chocolate,

910
00:45:22,386 --> 00:45:25,639
and you two can pick out a tree together.

911
00:45:25,681 --> 00:45:26,807
Look at us.

912
00:45:26,849 --> 00:45:28,434
Spreading the joy.

913
00:45:29,601 --> 00:45:31,562
Look at us.

914
00:45:31,603 --> 00:45:33,605
Sorry about that.

915
00:45:33,647 --> 00:45:38,527
He's gotten very comfortable
giving his uncle life advice.

916
00:45:38,569 --> 00:45:40,571
Just so you know, I have no idea how

917
00:45:40,612 --> 00:45:42,197
to pick out a Christmas tree.

918
00:45:42,239 --> 00:45:45,117
Well, if you're serious

919
00:45:45,159 --> 00:45:49,329
about not having any plans,
I would love some company.

920
00:45:59,298 --> 00:46:01,008
My father told me what you did.

921
00:46:05,637 --> 00:46:07,931
You gave this town reason
to believe that prayer

922
00:46:07,973 --> 00:46:11,518
really can change things.

923
00:46:11,560 --> 00:46:13,145
I've been called a lot of things,

924
00:46:13,187 --> 00:46:16,023
but never an answer to a prayer.

925
00:46:16,064 --> 00:46:19,067
What you did was more
than generous, Hilary.

926
00:46:19,109 --> 00:46:21,028
You have no idea what
the Christmas season

927
00:46:21,069 --> 00:46:23,739
means to this community.

928
00:46:23,781 --> 00:46:24,781
I'm starting to.

929
00:46:30,329 --> 00:46:32,623
Can I ask why?

930
00:46:32,664 --> 00:46:34,875
Why you did it?

931
00:46:34,917 --> 00:46:36,293
Honestly, I don't know.

932
00:46:36,335 --> 00:46:38,095
I did it before I even
knew what I was doing.

933
00:46:40,756 --> 00:46:43,967
I just... I don't think I've
been a part of something

934
00:46:44,009 --> 00:46:46,136
that mattered before.

935
00:46:46,178 --> 00:46:48,222
And I can tell this really mattered to you

936
00:46:51,099 --> 00:46:52,851
to everyone, I mean.

937
00:46:52,893 --> 00:46:53,893
To the town.

938
00:46:57,940 --> 00:46:59,066
Want to know what I think?

939
00:46:59,107 --> 00:47:00,609
Hmm?

940
00:47:00,651 --> 00:47:03,612
I think you've been touched
by the Christmas spirit.

941
00:47:03,654 --> 00:47:04,404
Who, me?

942
00:47:04,446 --> 00:47:05,197
Mm-hmm.

943
00:47:05,239 --> 00:47:07,866
No.

944
00:47:29,763 --> 00:47:30,514
Good.

945
00:47:30,556 --> 00:47:31,556
You're still there.

946
00:47:34,309 --> 00:47:37,437
Were you serious about
helping me if I need it?

947
00:47:37,479 --> 00:47:39,523
Like, really serious.

948
00:47:39,565 --> 00:47:40,858
What do you need?

949
00:47:40,899 --> 00:47:42,442
Research.

950
00:47:42,484 --> 00:47:45,112
Whatever you can get on historic
preservation grants, tax

951
00:47:45,153 --> 00:47:47,239
incentives and, I don't
know, community development

952
00:47:47,281 --> 00:47:48,490
partnership. Oh, oh.

953
00:47:48,532 --> 00:47:50,784
And info on successful projects that

954
00:47:50,826 --> 00:47:52,494
have preserved existing structures

955
00:47:52,536 --> 00:47:53,996
instead of demolishing them.

956
00:47:54,037 --> 00:47:55,539
Hilary... HILARY : I know.

957
00:47:55,581 --> 00:47:56,331
OK?

958
00:47:56,373 --> 00:47:57,666
I know.

959
00:47:57,708 --> 00:48:00,377
If you can't help me, I understand.

960
00:48:00,419 --> 00:48:02,754
Let me see what I can find.

961
00:48:02,796 --> 00:48:04,506
Thank you.

962
00:48:04,548 --> 00:48:07,926
Also, look into what it costs to
restore a 19th century church.

963
00:48:07,968 --> 00:48:09,386
I'm just asking for a friend.

964
00:48:09,428 --> 00:48:10,429
You got it.

965
00:48:10,470 --> 00:48:11,630
Thank you.

966
00:48:13,098 --> 00:48:14,098
OK.

967
00:48:28,614 --> 00:48:30,490
Hi.

968
00:48:30,532 --> 00:48:31,825
Hi.

969
00:48:31,867 --> 00:48:33,452
I have a few moments before I have

970
00:48:33,493 --> 00:48:35,287
to go help Nicole with the festival,

971
00:48:35,329 --> 00:48:38,290
so I just thought I'd come
and see what you're doing.

972
00:48:38,332 --> 00:48:40,959
Look at you starting to fit in.

973
00:48:41,001 --> 00:48:42,836
Let's not get carried away.

974
00:48:42,878 --> 00:48:46,173
I've never really belonged anywhere.

975
00:48:46,214 --> 00:48:48,508
Well, you do here.

976
00:48:55,390 --> 00:48:58,894
You know, even though this
church needs so many repairs,

977
00:48:58,936 --> 00:49:02,272
it's stunning.

978
00:49:02,314 --> 00:49:03,982
My late wife, Beth, used to always

979
00:49:04,024 --> 00:49:09,237
say that broken things could
be the most beautiful of all.

980
00:49:09,279 --> 00:49:13,367
She always saw the potential
where others saw problems.

981
00:49:13,408 --> 00:49:14,952
In the church, you mean?

982
00:49:14,993 --> 00:49:20,666
In here and with me.

983
00:49:20,707 --> 00:49:23,001
When we met, I couldn't wait to see

984
00:49:23,043 --> 00:49:25,671
what life was going to give me.

985
00:49:25,712 --> 00:49:27,589
What happened?

986
00:49:27,631 --> 00:49:33,387
Beth helped me to see that
sometimes what we think we want

987
00:49:33,428 --> 00:49:35,597
isn't actually what we need.

988
00:49:35,639 --> 00:49:38,517
And what did you want?

989
00:49:38,558 --> 00:49:40,060
To leave Midnight Clear.

990
00:49:40,102 --> 00:49:41,478
Travel the world.

991
00:49:41,520 --> 00:49:45,816
Build something new
somewhere not here.

992
00:49:45,857 --> 00:49:47,776
And now?

993
00:49:47,818 --> 00:49:54,116
Now, I can't imagine
being anywhere else.

994
00:49:54,157 --> 00:49:55,909
I think back to all the roads that God

995
00:49:55,951 --> 00:49:59,496
had me travel down to get
me to this place I am now.

996
00:49:59,538 --> 00:50:01,999
I mean, think about it.

997
00:50:02,040 --> 00:50:06,294
All the roads you had
to travel to get you here.

998
00:50:06,336 --> 00:50:08,588
I know I shouldn't be
saying this to a pastor,

999
00:50:08,630 --> 00:50:11,299
but I'm not sure about
the whole faith thing.

1000
00:50:14,052 --> 00:50:15,220
Mind if I ask why?

1001
00:50:18,515 --> 00:50:20,934
If there is a God, he hasn't really

1002
00:50:20,976 --> 00:50:22,394
shown much interest in me.

1003
00:50:24,938 --> 00:50:27,983
Maybe you haven't been looking for him.

1004
00:50:33,613 --> 00:50:35,907
There has to be a way
that we can save the church

1005
00:50:35,949 --> 00:50:38,201
and I can help this town.

1006
00:50:38,243 --> 00:50:40,662
I just... I haven't figured it out yet,

1007
00:50:40,704 --> 00:50:44,082
but I promise I'm going
to do everything I can.

1008
00:50:53,091 --> 00:50:54,819
Nicole, do you think we can
put the hot chocolate stand

1009
00:50:54,843 --> 00:50:56,178
in the center of the festival?

1010
00:50:56,219 --> 00:50:57,054
Yeah, sure.

1011
00:50:57,095 --> 00:50:58,055
Where were you thinking?

1012
00:50:58,096 --> 00:50:59,431
Ooh, by the benches.

1013
00:50:59,473 --> 00:51:00,992
That way people can sit while they drink.

1014
00:51:01,016 --> 00:51:02,535
Then we can have Betty's
cookies right beside.

1015
00:51:02,559 --> 00:51:03,602
Great promotion for both.

1016
00:51:03,643 --> 00:51:04,394
I love it.

1017
00:51:05,645 --> 00:51:07,189
You know, you really were not what

1018
00:51:07,230 --> 00:51:09,107
we expected when we heard
there was a big city

1019
00:51:09,149 --> 00:51:10,650
developer coming here.

1020
00:51:10,692 --> 00:51:12,861
What did you expect?

1021
00:51:12,903 --> 00:51:15,572
Someone who saw dollar
signs instead of people.

1022
00:51:15,614 --> 00:51:17,991
Oh, I was definitely that
person when I got here.

1023
00:51:18,033 --> 00:51:20,160
Mm-hmm.

1024
00:51:20,202 --> 00:51:22,579
And now?

1025
00:51:22,621 --> 00:51:28,001
I still see a few dollar
signs, but I see people more.

1026
00:51:28,043 --> 00:51:30,629
Can I ask you something?

1027
00:51:30,670 --> 00:51:33,548
What you're doing here, is it
really going to help our town,

1028
00:51:33,590 --> 00:51:36,760
or is it part of some bigger plan?

1029
00:51:36,802 --> 00:51:39,763
Last week, it was a bigger plan.

1030
00:51:39,805 --> 00:51:43,266
But helping this town
feels more important to me.

1031
00:51:43,308 --> 00:51:45,727
It's probably the most
important thing I've ever done.

1032
00:51:45,769 --> 00:51:46,561
Really?

1033
00:51:46,603 --> 00:51:48,605
Mm-hmm.

1034
00:51:48,647 --> 00:51:49,647
Hold on.

1035
00:51:52,984 --> 00:51:53,777
I'll be right back.

1036
00:51:53,819 --> 00:51:54,819
I gotta take this.

1037
00:51:57,614 --> 00:51:58,365
Oh.

1038
00:51:59,449 --> 00:52:01,660
Sorry.

1039
00:52:01,701 --> 00:52:03,161
Do you have to get that?

1040
00:52:03,203 --> 00:52:05,372
No, it can wait.

1041
00:52:05,413 --> 00:52:07,040
I'm glad I ran into you.

1042
00:52:07,082 --> 00:52:11,753
Not literally, but it worked
out, so that's good, right?

1043
00:52:11,795 --> 00:52:14,548
OK, I think.

1044
00:52:14,589 --> 00:52:19,386
I was wondering if you'd
like to join us tonight.

1045
00:52:19,427 --> 00:52:21,388
We're decorating Christmas cookies.

1046
00:52:21,429 --> 00:52:25,016
There will be pizza involved if
that helps make your decision.

1047
00:52:25,058 --> 00:52:26,601
Really?

1048
00:52:26,643 --> 00:52:29,938
I'm not intruding on a family
tradition or anything?

1049
00:52:29,980 --> 00:52:32,149
I think it's time for a few new ones.

1050
00:52:32,190 --> 00:52:34,359
And truthfully, my father overestimates

1051
00:52:34,401 --> 00:52:36,194
my decorating abilities,
and I underestimate

1052
00:52:36,236 --> 00:52:38,029
the time it'll take.

1053
00:52:38,071 --> 00:52:39,823
I'd love to.

1054
00:52:39,865 --> 00:52:40,782
OK.

1055
00:52:40,824 --> 00:52:43,451
We'll see you later.

1056
00:52:43,493 --> 00:52:45,370
OK.

1057
00:52:45,412 --> 00:52:46,872
Bye.

1058
00:53:04,973 --> 00:53:06,433
That pizza is so good.

1059
00:53:06,474 --> 00:53:07,684
Nice.

1060
00:53:07,726 --> 00:53:09,394
Look at this old nativity set I found.

1061
00:53:09,436 --> 00:53:10,729
Oh, wow.

1062
00:53:24,743 --> 00:53:26,453
Your grandmother
made this the Christmas

1063
00:53:26,494 --> 00:53:29,748
after you were born, Tommy.

1064
00:53:29,789 --> 00:53:31,124
She worked on it for months.

1065
00:53:35,378 --> 00:53:37,672
I forgot we still had this.

1066
00:53:37,714 --> 00:53:40,300
It's beautiful.

1067
00:53:40,342 --> 00:53:42,052
My mom would always
say that every angel

1068
00:53:42,093 --> 00:53:45,180
should look like they're
carrying good news.

1069
00:53:45,222 --> 00:53:47,599
So where are we going to put it?

1070
00:53:47,641 --> 00:53:50,101
What about in front of the window?

1071
00:53:50,143 --> 00:53:51,478
Yeah, that's a good idea.

1072
00:53:51,519 --> 00:53:53,239
That way, everybody who
walks by can see it.

1073
00:53:53,271 --> 00:53:54,689
That's exactly where it belongs.

1074
00:54:02,280 --> 00:54:03,280
Kind of like you.

1075
00:54:05,700 --> 00:54:07,994
I have been praying for someone to help

1076
00:54:08,036 --> 00:54:11,373
Daniel remember how to laugh.

1077
00:54:11,414 --> 00:54:13,917
Thank you.

1078
00:54:13,959 --> 00:54:17,254
Dad, are you bothering Hilary?

1079
00:54:17,295 --> 00:54:18,046
No.

1080
00:54:18,088 --> 00:54:20,298
No, not at all.

1081
00:54:20,340 --> 00:54:23,635
In fact, I was just asking him
about those Christmas cookies

1082
00:54:23,677 --> 00:54:26,846
you promised me in exchange
for my decorating skills.

1083
00:54:39,484 --> 00:54:41,778
When you offered cookies,
you never mentioned

1084
00:54:41,820 --> 00:54:43,113
that I would have to make them.

1085
00:54:47,158 --> 00:54:49,119
Confession time.

1086
00:54:49,160 --> 00:54:53,331
I don't know how to make
Christmas cookies from scratch.

1087
00:54:53,373 --> 00:54:54,833
What other way is there?

1088
00:54:54,874 --> 00:54:56,918
You know, the...
the tube thing from the...

1089
00:54:56,960 --> 00:54:57,711
No.

1090
00:54:57,752 --> 00:54:59,045
Store. Yes.

1091
00:54:59,087 --> 00:55:00,380
You can't be serious.

1092
00:55:00,422 --> 00:55:01,506
Beth was the baker.

1093
00:55:01,548 --> 00:55:02,841
I was the taste tester.

1094
00:55:02,882 --> 00:55:04,402
Plus, when you've got
someone like Betty

1095
00:55:04,426 --> 00:55:06,594
making cookies for you

1096
00:55:06,636 --> 00:55:07,971
where did you learn how to bake?

1097
00:55:11,016 --> 00:55:12,976
My mom.

1098
00:55:13,018 --> 00:55:17,731
Yeah, she was... she was
an incredible baker.

1099
00:55:17,772 --> 00:55:19,858
Oh, she was so kind, considerate.

1100
00:55:19,899 --> 00:55:26,281
And she cared about, well, everything.

1101
00:55:26,323 --> 00:55:28,325
Is that a bad thing?

1102
00:55:28,366 --> 00:55:31,077
I didn't think so, no.

1103
00:55:31,119 --> 00:55:35,832
My dad would say, caring
doesn't pay the bills.

1104
00:55:35,874 --> 00:55:37,083
Neither does not caring.

1105
00:55:41,379 --> 00:55:49,379
Hilary, what happened
to make you afraid of faith?

1106
00:55:51,473 --> 00:55:53,725
I'm not afraid of it, I just...

1107
00:55:53,767 --> 00:55:55,268
I just don't believe in it.

1108
00:55:55,310 --> 00:55:56,728
You know?

1109
00:55:56,770 --> 00:55:59,981
My mother was diagnosed
with cancer when I was 10.

1110
00:56:00,023 --> 00:56:05,779
The church prayed for her, and
two years later, she was gone.

1111
00:56:05,820 --> 00:56:09,949
And you blame God?

1112
00:56:09,991 --> 00:56:13,411
A little, yeah.

1113
00:56:13,453 --> 00:56:14,454
Maybe a lot.

1114
00:56:18,416 --> 00:56:22,837
Prayer isn't just about
getting what we want,

1115
00:56:22,879 --> 00:56:27,967
it's also about finding
strength for what we get.

1116
00:56:33,348 --> 00:56:35,558
We call that divine intervention.

1117
00:56:49,364 --> 00:56:51,241
I like her.

1118
00:56:51,282 --> 00:56:52,867
So does your uncle.

1119
00:56:52,909 --> 00:56:54,244
You think she'll stay?

1120
00:56:54,285 --> 00:56:56,037
Till after Christmas, I mean.

1121
00:56:56,079 --> 00:56:59,416
Oh, I think she's already decided to stay.

1122
00:56:59,457 --> 00:57:01,209
She just doesn't know it yet.

1123
00:57:03,878 --> 00:57:07,424
You didn't
have to walk me home.

1124
00:57:07,465 --> 00:57:09,676
What if I didn't want tonight to end?

1125
00:57:12,512 --> 00:57:17,642
Thank you for sharing
your family traditions with me.

1126
00:57:17,684 --> 00:57:21,104
This last week, spending time with you,

1127
00:57:21,146 --> 00:57:24,774
I remember what hope feels like.

1128
00:57:24,816 --> 00:57:26,734
What it feels like to look
forward to tomorrow.

1129
00:57:26,776 --> 00:57:31,406
It... it's been a long time since I felt that.

1130
00:57:35,785 --> 00:57:38,121
That... that... that was a lot.

1131
00:57:38,163 --> 00:57:39,539
I'm... I'm out of practice.

1132
00:57:39,581 --> 00:57:40,373
No.

1133
00:57:40,415 --> 00:57:41,166
No, it's not.

1134
00:57:41,207 --> 00:57:44,836
I... I feel the same.

1135
00:57:44,878 --> 00:57:48,339
I just... I just don't want
you hating me if I can't...

1136
00:57:52,218 --> 00:57:56,306
Whatever it is, I have faith in you.

1137
00:58:00,727 --> 00:58:02,312
That thing you told me earlier today

1138
00:58:02,353 --> 00:58:06,566
about God not showing up in your life,

1139
00:58:06,608 --> 00:58:10,278
what if he's been here all along?

1140
00:58:10,320 --> 00:58:11,320
Good night, Daniel.

1141
00:58:13,865 --> 00:58:14,865
Good night.

1142
00:58:22,749 --> 00:58:26,461
If you're up there, I could
really use a miracle right now.

1143
00:58:40,558 --> 00:58:41,726
This might just work.

1144
00:58:49,609 --> 00:58:50,610
Hi, Dad.

1145
00:58:50,652 --> 00:58:53,029
I was just going to call you.

1146
00:58:53,071 --> 00:58:55,365
I find that hard to believe, considering

1147
00:58:55,406 --> 00:58:59,327
numerous calls, texts and emails
have gone unanswered for days.

1148
00:58:59,369 --> 00:59:01,246
Where are we with the contracts?

1149
00:59:01,287 --> 00:59:02,455
There's progress.

1150
00:59:02,497 --> 00:59:04,123
I just need a little bit more time.

1151
00:59:04,165 --> 00:59:06,185
You know
our investors are concerned?

1152
00:59:06,209 --> 00:59:09,712
Quite frankly, so am
I. You get them to sign

1153
00:59:09,754 --> 00:59:11,130
or you find leverage to make them.

1154
00:59:11,172 --> 00:59:12,674
Dad, I understand.

1155
00:59:12,715 --> 00:59:14,133
I do, I just

1156
00:59:14,175 --> 00:59:16,261
there's got to be a better way to address

1157
00:59:16,302 --> 00:59:17,804
these issues and that...

1158
00:59:17,845 --> 00:59:20,473
Hilary,
what side are you on?

1159
00:59:20,515 --> 00:59:22,141
Is it mine?

1160
00:59:22,183 --> 00:59:25,687
You get them to sign today.

1161
00:59:38,575 --> 00:59:39,492
Hi.

1162
00:59:39,534 --> 00:59:40,534
Hey.

1163
00:59:42,495 --> 00:59:44,497
I hope it's OK that I'm here.

1164
00:59:44,539 --> 00:59:46,165
Of course.

1165
00:59:46,207 --> 00:59:49,127
Church is always open to anyone
who needs to talk to God.

1166
00:59:49,168 --> 00:59:52,589
Unfortunately, I'm the one
doing all the talking.

1167
00:59:52,630 --> 00:59:54,799
After you talked, did you listen?

1168
00:59:54,841 --> 00:59:57,010
Now you tell me.

1169
00:59:57,051 --> 01:00:05,051
Everything OK?

1170
01:00:06,311 --> 01:00:10,857
I think I found a plan to help
your town and save your church.

1171
01:00:10,898 --> 01:00:12,400
That kind of sounds like a miracle.

1172
01:00:12,442 --> 01:00:14,277
So why don't you seem happier?

1173
01:00:14,319 --> 01:00:15,236
It's my father.

1174
01:00:15,278 --> 01:00:16,988
He just won't listen to me.

1175
01:00:17,030 --> 01:00:19,824
I... we have these investors, and
they want their money out, and

1176
01:00:23,786 --> 01:00:26,748
something's changed
since I've been here.

1177
01:00:26,789 --> 01:00:31,586
I just... I like this me in Midnight Clear.

1178
01:00:31,628 --> 01:00:35,006
I... I like the town.

1179
01:00:35,048 --> 01:00:36,549
I like the people here.

1180
01:00:36,591 --> 01:00:40,345
And I like you.

1181
01:00:47,018 --> 01:00:48,102
I like you, too.

1182
01:00:52,148 --> 01:00:53,566
Do you want to tell me your idea?

1183
01:00:53,608 --> 01:00:55,234
Mm-hmm.

1184
01:00:55,276 --> 01:00:56,986
I've been working on it all night.

1185
01:00:57,028 --> 01:01:00,990
I actually have a friend
helping me in the office, too.

1186
01:01:01,032 --> 01:01:03,660
Daniel, look at these numbers.

1187
01:01:03,701 --> 01:01:04,786
This could actually work.

1188
01:01:04,827 --> 01:01:06,412
Mm-hmm.

1189
01:01:06,454 --> 01:01:08,307
I just need to get the town
on board to support this.

1190
01:01:08,331 --> 01:01:10,708
And then I need to convince my father

1191
01:01:10,750 --> 01:01:13,544
that this plan is actually
better than his original plan.

1192
01:01:13,586 --> 01:01:15,713
And you think you can do that?

1193
01:01:15,755 --> 01:01:17,090
Honestly, I don't know.

1194
01:01:17,131 --> 01:01:20,802
But I'm going to try everything that I can.

1195
01:01:20,843 --> 01:01:23,805
Can you help me get everyone
together for a meeting?

1196
01:01:49,163 --> 01:01:50,915
Can I have everyone's attention, please?

1197
01:01:53,584 --> 01:01:57,880
We're all aware of the current
circumstances and the offers

1198
01:01:57,922 --> 01:02:01,217
that everyone's been receiving
from Shaw Enterprises.

1199
01:02:01,259 --> 01:02:04,178
But before we walk away from
everything our ancestors

1200
01:02:04,220 --> 01:02:09,767
and our families have
worked so hard for,

1201
01:02:09,809 --> 01:02:11,561
I think we should hear Hilary's idea.

1202
01:02:14,856 --> 01:02:18,860
I'm sorry, Pastor,
but you're a little too late.

1203
01:02:18,901 --> 01:02:22,572
Shaw Development made a formal
offer for the entire town,

1204
01:02:22,613 --> 01:02:23,698
including the church.

1205
01:02:23,740 --> 01:02:24,490
What?

1206
01:02:24,532 --> 01:02:25,283
What?

1207
01:02:25,324 --> 01:02:26,492
No, that can't be.

1208
01:02:26,534 --> 01:02:27,326
No.

1209
01:02:27,368 --> 01:02:28,953
It can.

1210
01:02:28,995 --> 01:02:32,540
They offered 30% over market
value for every property.

1211
01:02:32,582 --> 01:02:34,834
Cash deals and quick closings.

1212
01:02:34,876 --> 01:02:37,086
I just spoke to my father
a few hours ago.

1213
01:02:37,128 --> 01:02:38,546
This was not part of the plan.

1214
01:02:38,588 --> 01:02:40,298
His plan must have changed.

1215
01:02:40,339 --> 01:02:45,219
His offer came at 10:00 AM,
along with a notice which states

1216
01:02:45,261 --> 01:02:49,223
if properties are not sold
voluntarily, they will pursue

1217
01:02:49,265 --> 01:02:51,225
eminent domain proceedings.

1218
01:02:53,144 --> 01:02:56,898
Look, they're offering enough
money to pay off your debts

1219
01:02:56,939 --> 01:02:59,817
and have some left to start
over somewhere else.

1220
01:02:59,859 --> 01:03:01,319
Start over?

1221
01:03:01,360 --> 01:03:02,945
This is our home.

1222
01:03:02,987 --> 01:03:04,697
What about tydings and trees?

1223
01:03:04,739 --> 01:03:05,740
The church?

1224
01:03:05,782 --> 01:03:06,991
Our community?

1225
01:03:07,033 --> 01:03:08,868
Sentiment doesn't pay medical bills

1226
01:03:08,910 --> 01:03:12,955
or save failing businesses, Tommy.

1227
01:03:12,997 --> 01:03:14,624
Can I say something?

1228
01:03:17,460 --> 01:03:19,587
I know you have no reason to trust me,

1229
01:03:19,629 --> 01:03:22,215
but I might have an alternative.

1230
01:03:22,256 --> 01:03:24,675
I highly doubt anything
could be better than the offer

1231
01:03:24,717 --> 01:03:27,804
we received from your company.

1232
01:03:27,845 --> 01:03:31,015
What if it could save your town?

1233
01:03:31,057 --> 01:03:34,852
Historic preservation grants.

1234
01:03:34,894 --> 01:03:39,065
Federal tax incentives
for heritage tourism, community

1235
01:03:39,106 --> 01:03:42,193
development partnerships.

1236
01:03:42,235 --> 01:03:43,611
OK, this is the plan.

1237
01:03:46,364 --> 01:03:49,283
We restore the church as a heritage site,

1238
01:03:49,325 --> 01:03:51,536
create seasonal festivals all year round,

1239
01:03:51,577 --> 01:03:53,538
which will bring back tourism and

1240
01:03:53,579 --> 01:03:55,873
visitors who just want those small town,

1241
01:03:55,915 --> 01:03:57,875
authentic experiences.

1242
01:03:57,917 --> 01:04:00,753
This revenue alone could
save the community.

1243
01:04:00,795 --> 01:04:03,631
Keep Midnight Clear as it is?

1244
01:04:03,673 --> 01:04:05,299
Bingo.

1245
01:04:05,341 --> 01:04:08,970
But make it the best version
of itself that it could be.

1246
01:04:09,011 --> 01:04:12,056
I believe in this town, and I
believe in everyone here.

1247
01:04:15,518 --> 01:04:17,645
Someone very special
showed me just what it

1248
01:04:17,687 --> 01:04:19,647
means to have hope and faith.

1249
01:04:22,358 --> 01:04:25,403
Now I'm hoping that you
can have it too, in me.

1250
01:04:32,201 --> 01:04:33,911
Give me 24 hours.

1251
01:04:33,953 --> 01:04:35,830
I'm going to present
this plan to my father

1252
01:04:35,872 --> 01:04:37,766
and show him that it could be
more profitable than the one

1253
01:04:37,790 --> 01:04:38,916
that he has.

1254
01:04:38,958 --> 01:04:41,752
And if you can't?

1255
01:04:41,794 --> 01:04:45,882
I'm asking you to trust me for one day.

1256
01:04:45,923 --> 01:04:47,592
I trust her.

1257
01:04:56,809 --> 01:04:58,769
So do I.

1258
01:04:58,811 --> 01:04:59,811
Me too.

1259
01:05:08,988 --> 01:05:10,573
24 hours, Hilary.

1260
01:05:10,615 --> 01:05:13,576
Then Midnight Clear accepts the deal.

1261
01:05:13,618 --> 01:05:14,618
Deal.

1262
01:05:28,382 --> 01:05:31,260
Hilary, what are you doing here?

1263
01:05:31,302 --> 01:05:33,679
Please tell me you have the contracts.

1264
01:05:33,721 --> 01:05:35,014
I don't.

1265
01:05:35,056 --> 01:05:36,724
But I've come up with something better.

1266
01:05:36,766 --> 01:05:39,852
Look, this could make us more money

1267
01:05:39,894 --> 01:05:41,854
and create a new model
for community development

1268
01:05:41,896 --> 01:05:42,897
nationwide.

1269
01:05:42,939 --> 01:05:44,690
We can create something unique.

1270
01:05:44,732 --> 01:05:47,109
A heritage tourism
destination that can bring...

1271
01:05:47,151 --> 01:05:49,320
Just... just stop.

1272
01:05:49,362 --> 01:05:51,405
You haven't even looked at the numbers.

1273
01:05:51,447 --> 01:05:54,200
I don't need to.

1274
01:05:54,241 --> 01:05:56,452
What is going on with you?

1275
01:05:56,494 --> 01:05:58,913
Dad, this town is different.

1276
01:05:58,955 --> 01:06:00,289
It's not like the others.

1277
01:06:00,331 --> 01:06:02,166
They're... the people there, they're like

1278
01:06:02,208 --> 01:06:04,502
they're like one big family, you know,

1279
01:06:04,543 --> 01:06:07,797
that have kept traditions
for generations and generations.

1280
01:06:10,883 --> 01:06:13,177
You wasted enough time there.

1281
01:06:13,219 --> 01:06:15,096
I'm moving forward with eminent domain,

1282
01:06:15,137 --> 01:06:17,139
and I've already found
a way to close the church.

1283
01:06:17,181 --> 01:06:18,224
Dad, no.

1284
01:06:18,265 --> 01:06:20,101
It's already done.

1285
01:06:20,142 --> 01:06:21,769
It's time to move on.

1286
01:06:24,981 --> 01:06:26,524
OK.

1287
01:06:26,565 --> 01:06:28,818
This is me moving on.

1288
01:06:28,859 --> 01:06:29,859
I quit.

1289
01:06:49,005 --> 01:06:50,381
What's going on?

1290
01:06:50,423 --> 01:06:52,717
Pastor, I'm sorry.

1291
01:06:52,758 --> 01:06:55,136
Someone called with code violations

1292
01:06:55,177 --> 01:06:58,472
claiming the church to be
structurally unsafe.

1293
01:06:58,514 --> 01:07:01,809
Until I can get an engineer here,

1294
01:07:01,851 --> 01:07:03,853
the church must remain closed.

1295
01:07:06,564 --> 01:07:08,607
So what about Christmas Eve service?

1296
01:07:08,649 --> 01:07:11,193
No one is available until after Christmas.

1297
01:07:11,235 --> 01:07:12,028
What?

1298
01:07:12,069 --> 01:07:13,237
I'm sorry.

1299
01:07:13,279 --> 01:07:17,908
I really am, but my hands are tied.

1300
01:07:17,950 --> 01:07:21,454
I know you all trusted
Hilary, but I think it's clear

1301
01:07:21,495 --> 01:07:23,748
now where her allegiance lies.

1302
01:07:23,789 --> 01:07:27,168
We agreed to give her 24 hours.

1303
01:07:27,209 --> 01:07:28,919
Daniel, I had nothing to do with this.

1304
01:07:28,961 --> 01:07:30,171
This was all my father.

1305
01:07:30,212 --> 01:07:33,799
I'm... I'm so sorry.

1306
01:07:33,841 --> 01:07:34,841
I tried.

1307
01:07:39,013 --> 01:07:42,224
I'll let Shaw Development
know we're accepting the offer.

1308
01:07:46,771 --> 01:07:48,689
Can we say no?

1309
01:07:48,731 --> 01:07:51,150
There has to be something we can do.

1310
01:07:51,192 --> 01:07:53,652
I'm so sorry.

1311
01:07:53,694 --> 01:07:56,280
There'll be substantial
relocation packages and...

1312
01:07:59,492 --> 01:08:00,492
Daniel.

1313
01:08:05,039 --> 01:08:06,624
Was this the plan all along?

1314
01:08:06,665 --> 01:08:08,042
Daniel, no.

1315
01:08:08,084 --> 01:08:10,336
No.

1316
01:08:10,377 --> 01:08:12,922
I tried, I really did.

1317
01:08:15,966 --> 01:08:17,510
We all appreciate what you've done.

1318
01:08:20,346 --> 01:08:21,430
I think you should go now.

1319
01:08:43,786 --> 01:08:48,958
She's not bringing good news today.

1320
01:08:48,999 --> 01:08:51,210
It might seem like that.

1321
01:08:51,252 --> 01:08:53,129
But you know what I've always said.

1322
01:08:53,170 --> 01:08:57,216
Sometimes the best gifts come
from the most unexpected places.

1323
01:08:57,258 --> 01:09:00,970
You cannot spin this
to a positive outcome.

1324
01:09:01,011 --> 01:09:07,017
Isaiah 43:19, now I
am doing something new.

1325
01:09:07,059 --> 01:09:08,894
See how it springs up.

1326
01:09:12,273 --> 01:09:15,317
I feel like I've failed everyone.

1327
01:09:15,359 --> 01:09:17,361
How can you say that, son?

1328
01:09:17,403 --> 01:09:20,573
You have kept us above
water for years now.

1329
01:09:20,614 --> 01:09:26,787
You alone have turned this town
into a community, a family.

1330
01:09:26,829 --> 01:09:28,998
And you opened your heart
to someone else

1331
01:09:29,039 --> 01:09:31,750
when yours had been broken for so long.

1332
01:09:31,792 --> 01:09:35,421
I have never been more proud
of you than I am in this moment.

1333
01:09:35,462 --> 01:09:37,548
Me too, Uncle Daniel.

1334
01:09:37,590 --> 01:09:41,427
You and Ms. Shaw are
going to figure this out.

1335
01:09:41,468 --> 01:09:42,887
It's not that simple.

1336
01:09:42,928 --> 01:09:44,305
Yeah, it is.

1337
01:09:44,346 --> 01:09:46,557
Hope lives here, right?

1338
01:09:46,599 --> 01:09:49,310
We literally have a sign
of it in our church.

1339
01:09:49,351 --> 01:09:50,351
The kid's not wrong.

1340
01:09:53,022 --> 01:09:55,482
Tommy, I appreciate
everything you're trying to say.

1341
01:09:55,524 --> 01:09:56,358
It's just...

1342
01:09:56,400 --> 01:09:58,819
No, Uncle D, just no.

1343
01:10:02,865 --> 01:10:07,119
When Aunt Beth died while my
parents were having rough times.

1344
01:10:07,161 --> 01:10:09,580
When everything didn't look
like it was going to work out,

1345
01:10:09,622 --> 01:10:12,166
you told me to not give up.

1346
01:10:12,208 --> 01:10:14,001
We have faith.

1347
01:10:14,043 --> 01:10:19,048
We keep hope, no matter
what it looks like.

1348
01:10:19,089 --> 01:10:21,175
You can't give up.

1349
01:10:21,217 --> 01:10:22,217
We just can't.

1350
01:10:30,935 --> 01:10:33,562
It's awful strange to think this might

1351
01:10:33,604 --> 01:10:36,106
be our last tree lighting.

1352
01:10:36,148 --> 01:10:39,068
Who would do something like
this right before Christmas?

1353
01:10:39,109 --> 01:10:41,362
Someone who's not
from here, that's who.

1354
01:10:46,033 --> 01:10:47,033
Hi.

1355
01:10:49,745 --> 01:10:52,414
I'm probably the last person
you want to see right now.

1356
01:10:52,456 --> 01:10:55,960
I just... I wanted to come say goodbye

1357
01:10:56,001 --> 01:10:58,587
and tell you how sorry I am.

1358
01:10:58,629 --> 01:11:01,715
Sorry doesn't save our town.

1359
01:11:01,757 --> 01:11:03,676
I know.

1360
01:11:03,717 --> 01:11:06,512
I tried to stop him, I really did.

1361
01:11:06,553 --> 01:11:09,098
Maybe you just realized you
care about us in this town

1362
01:11:09,139 --> 01:11:11,433
a little bit too late.

1363
01:11:11,475 --> 01:11:13,227
You're right
to be upset with me.

1364
01:11:16,939 --> 01:11:19,441
Whether you believe it
or not, this week with you

1365
01:11:19,483 --> 01:11:24,363
has been the biggest blessing of my life.

1366
01:11:24,405 --> 01:11:27,533
I just... I want you to know that.

1367
01:11:27,574 --> 01:11:29,994
I hope you told that to Pastor Daniel, too.

1368
01:11:34,873 --> 01:11:37,793
Hilary, wait.

1369
01:11:37,835 --> 01:11:40,587
The tree lighting is tonight,
and it's only happening

1370
01:11:40,629 --> 01:11:41,714
because of your donation.

1371
01:11:41,755 --> 01:11:43,215
Might not be a good idea.

1372
01:11:43,257 --> 01:11:44,466
Maybe not.

1373
01:11:44,508 --> 01:11:48,137
But she at least saved that.

1374
01:11:48,178 --> 01:11:51,265
You should at least be here
to see it before you go.

1375
01:11:57,771 --> 01:12:01,400
I know this has been
a difficult time for us,

1376
01:12:01,442 --> 01:12:07,406
but tonight we celebrate that in
which we have always celebrated,

1377
01:12:07,448 --> 01:12:15,448
hope, community, faith, and love
that binds us all together.

1378
01:12:16,332 --> 01:12:19,793
Christmas reminds us that
even in our darkest moments,

1379
01:12:19,835 --> 01:12:23,172
light can break through
and miracles can happen

1380
01:12:23,213 --> 01:12:26,133
when we least expect them.

1381
01:12:26,175 --> 01:12:29,261
I know you've all heard this from myself

1382
01:12:29,303 --> 01:12:32,181
and my father before me.

1383
01:12:36,643 --> 01:12:40,439
Sometimes the greatest gifts
come from the most unexpected

1384
01:12:40,481 --> 01:12:41,481
places,

1385
01:12:45,152 --> 01:12:46,152
and people.

1386
01:12:54,370 --> 01:12:59,708
Let there be light in Midnight
Clear one last time.

1387
01:13:33,992 --> 01:13:37,162
Hilary, wait up.

1388
01:13:37,204 --> 01:13:39,123
Hey.

1389
01:13:39,164 --> 01:13:40,707
I just wanted to say goodbye.

1390
01:13:40,749 --> 01:13:44,086
And for what it's worth, I'm sorry.

1391
01:13:44,128 --> 01:13:46,422
I thought you had a really strong plan.

1392
01:13:46,463 --> 01:13:48,590
We had a strong plan.

1393
01:13:48,632 --> 01:13:50,092
Thanks again for all your help.

1394
01:13:50,134 --> 01:13:52,428
I... I should have known my father

1395
01:13:52,469 --> 01:13:54,596
would never change his mind.

1396
01:13:54,638 --> 01:13:56,390
Do you have any plans for Christmas?

1397
01:13:56,432 --> 01:14:02,604
I think dinner with my father
is off the table, so yeah.

1398
01:14:02,646 --> 01:14:03,689
Stay in touch.

1399
01:14:03,730 --> 01:14:05,065
OK?

1400
01:14:05,107 --> 01:14:08,986
And if you ever need
any more help, I'm here.

1401
01:14:09,027 --> 01:14:10,195
Thanks, Brandon.

1402
01:14:10,237 --> 01:14:11,572
Merry Christmas.

1403
01:14:11,613 --> 01:14:12,698
Merry Christmas.

1404
01:14:17,035 --> 01:14:18,495
You're seriously quitting?

1405
01:14:21,206 --> 01:14:23,333
Look, I know you think
this town is different,

1406
01:14:23,375 --> 01:14:24,835
but you'll see it's not.

1407
01:14:24,877 --> 01:14:27,504
Congratulations, by the way.

1408
01:14:27,546 --> 01:14:29,047
For what exactly?

1409
01:14:29,089 --> 01:14:31,758
Your underhanded tactics.

1410
01:14:31,800 --> 01:14:33,760
Calling in what I'm sure
were numerous favors

1411
01:14:33,802 --> 01:14:37,514
to report the code violations
two days before Christmas.

1412
01:14:37,556 --> 01:14:39,183
Was you who gave me the idea.

1413
01:14:39,224 --> 01:14:40,642
What are you talking about?

1414
01:14:40,684 --> 01:14:44,813
Well, what was it you
reported about the roof?

1415
01:14:44,855 --> 01:14:51,445
Structural damage, leaks,
potential collapse.

1416
01:14:51,487 --> 01:14:53,113
The roof?

1417
01:14:53,155 --> 01:14:56,033
That's... that's what the code
violations were all about?

1418
01:14:56,074 --> 01:14:57,326
Yeah.

1419
01:14:58,577 --> 01:14:59,577
What's funny?

1420
01:15:02,289 --> 01:15:03,749
Nothing.

1421
01:15:03,790 --> 01:15:06,919
You just gave me the best
Christmas present ever.

1422
01:15:06,960 --> 01:15:08,545
I don't think I understand.

1423
01:15:11,882 --> 01:15:14,843
Merry Christmas, Dad.

1424
01:15:28,482 --> 01:15:31,360
Merry Christmas Eve...

1425
01:15:31,401 --> 01:15:33,070
I know I can't fix everything else,

1426
01:15:33,111 --> 01:15:36,907
but I can try to save
Christmas Eve service at least.

1427
01:15:36,949 --> 01:15:37,783
How?

1428
01:15:37,824 --> 01:15:39,409
The church is condemned.

1429
01:15:39,451 --> 01:15:40,827
I have an idea.

1430
01:15:40,869 --> 01:15:42,329
But just don't tell Daniel because I

1431
01:15:42,371 --> 01:15:44,623
don't want to get his hopes up.

1432
01:15:44,665 --> 01:15:46,708
Please?

1433
01:15:46,750 --> 01:15:48,252
I have nowhere else to go.

1434
01:15:51,296 --> 01:15:53,006
Well, then, welcome home.

1435
01:16:01,598 --> 01:16:07,271
I know it's Christmas,
but I need roofing materials.

1436
01:16:07,312 --> 01:16:08,312
Thanks anyway.

1437
01:16:12,442 --> 01:16:13,442
OK.

1438
01:16:15,779 --> 01:16:17,406
Hi, it's Hilary Shaw.

1439
01:16:17,447 --> 01:16:19,950
I understand that you might
have some leftover shingles.

1440
01:16:19,992 --> 01:16:24,121
Is there any way you could donate them?

1441
01:16:24,162 --> 01:16:25,289
Hello?

1442
01:16:25,330 --> 01:16:26,330
Hello?

1443
01:16:34,089 --> 01:16:36,592
OK.

1444
01:16:36,633 --> 01:16:41,513
Plan B.

1445
01:16:41,555 --> 01:16:43,849
I overheard her asking
people for materials

1446
01:16:43,890 --> 01:16:45,183
to fix the church roof.

1447
01:16:45,225 --> 01:16:48,353
I can't believe she came back.

1448
01:16:48,395 --> 01:16:50,355
Maybe she's trying to fix things.

1449
01:16:50,397 --> 01:16:53,567
A little late, considering
tomorrow's Christmas Eve.

1450
01:16:53,609 --> 01:16:56,653
The roof, you say?

1451
01:16:56,695 --> 01:16:59,197
Let me tell you ladies a story.

1452
01:16:59,239 --> 01:17:00,324
Picture it.

1453
01:17:00,365 --> 01:17:03,744
Christmas, 1968.

1454
01:17:03,785 --> 01:17:07,414
Oh, it was a storm.

1455
01:17:24,890 --> 01:17:25,890
Hilary.

1456
01:17:29,895 --> 01:17:32,147
I heard you came back.

1457
01:17:32,189 --> 01:17:33,607
I guess my question is, why?

1458
01:17:36,234 --> 01:17:41,865
I just came back to try to fix what I broke.

1459
01:17:41,907 --> 01:17:43,784
You didn't break the roof.

1460
01:17:43,825 --> 01:17:46,078
I just thought if I
could get it repaired today

1461
01:17:46,119 --> 01:17:48,538
that they would lift the code violations

1462
01:17:48,580 --> 01:17:53,835
and you could do
your Christmas Eve service.

1463
01:17:53,877 --> 01:17:57,339
You really came back for that?

1464
01:17:57,381 --> 01:17:59,341
I've called construction companies,

1465
01:17:59,383 --> 01:18:02,511
suppliers, contract workers.

1466
01:18:02,552 --> 01:18:08,767
Turns out, unlike my father, no
one is working on Christmas Eve.

1467
01:18:08,809 --> 01:18:11,812
Daniel, I am so sorry for trying to get you

1468
01:18:11,853 --> 01:18:15,357
to sell when I first came
here, for what my father did,

1469
01:18:15,399 --> 01:18:16,399
for everything.

1470
01:18:19,319 --> 01:18:24,908
I quit my job, and I wanted
to come back here and just...

1471
01:18:24,950 --> 01:18:27,452
I wanted to make things right.

1472
01:18:27,494 --> 01:18:29,705
You quit?

1473
01:18:29,746 --> 01:18:31,415
None of it matters.

1474
01:18:31,456 --> 01:18:35,544
Not without this town and everyone here.

1475
01:18:35,585 --> 01:18:38,755
And I didn't just come back for the roof.

1476
01:18:38,797 --> 01:18:39,965
I came back for you.

1477
01:18:42,843 --> 01:18:46,012
I understand how upset you are with me.

1478
01:18:46,054 --> 01:18:51,643
And if you want me to leave, I will.

1479
01:18:51,685 --> 01:18:55,981
I just... I just wanted
you to know how I feel.

1480
01:18:59,735 --> 01:19:02,112
You coming back as the best
Christmas gift anyone

1481
01:19:02,154 --> 01:19:03,238
could have ever given me.

1482
01:19:15,041 --> 01:19:17,127
Hilary, turn around.

1483
01:19:22,674 --> 01:19:24,593
We heard it when you were trying to do,

1484
01:19:24,634 --> 01:19:27,179
so we made calls of our own.

1485
01:19:27,220 --> 01:19:28,889
How did you do all this?

1486
01:19:28,930 --> 01:19:31,600
Well, it turns out
Monroe Family Construction

1487
01:19:31,641 --> 01:19:33,351
really loves your sermons.

1488
01:19:33,393 --> 01:19:36,188
And the hardware store in
Hill Valley was happy to donate

1489
01:19:36,229 --> 01:19:38,774
materials for a good cause.

1490
01:19:38,815 --> 01:19:42,611
As soon as the roof is fixed,
I'll lift the code violations.

1491
01:19:42,652 --> 01:19:45,489
And if we finish before
7:00 the Christmas

1492
01:19:45,530 --> 01:19:48,533
Eve service is back on.

1493
01:20:22,776 --> 01:20:26,321
On this holy night,
we celebrate not only

1494
01:20:26,363 --> 01:20:31,493
the birth of our Savior,
but the power of hope,

1495
01:20:31,535 --> 01:20:37,666
faith, community, and forgiveness.

1496
01:20:37,707 --> 01:20:42,254
Mary and Joseph had no place to go.

1497
01:20:42,295 --> 01:20:45,924
They were alone, far from home.

1498
01:20:45,966 --> 01:20:49,427
It looked impossible.

1499
01:20:49,469 --> 01:20:51,930
I'm sure it felt hopeless.

1500
01:20:51,972 --> 01:20:56,434
But God specializes
in impossible situations.

1501
01:20:59,521 --> 01:21:06,862
Our community, we still
face many unknowns.

1502
01:21:06,903 --> 01:21:08,905
A lot of us are probably feeling like we're

1503
01:21:08,947 --> 01:21:12,033
in our own dark stable right now.

1504
01:21:12,075 --> 01:21:16,246
But just as God provided
that night in Bethlehem,

1505
01:21:16,288 --> 01:21:17,664
He provided for us today.

1506
01:21:17,706 --> 01:21:20,500
And He will provide
for us in every tomorrow.

1507
01:21:24,004 --> 01:21:27,841
The birth of Jesus reminds
us that God specializes

1508
01:21:27,883 --> 01:21:34,222
in new beginnings, teaching us
that whenever it looks darkest,

1509
01:21:34,264 --> 01:21:39,144
that is when God appears.

1510
01:21:39,185 --> 01:21:44,524
Not how we expect, but through
ordinary people like you and I,

1511
01:21:44,566 --> 01:21:48,445
willing to say yes
to his extraordinary plan.

1512
01:22:22,437 --> 01:22:26,441
Tonight, as we light our candles,

1513
01:22:26,483 --> 01:22:30,320
we celebrate that same miracle.

1514
01:22:30,362 --> 01:22:33,990
The light of Christ that
no darkness can overcome.

1515
01:22:34,032 --> 01:22:40,455
The hope that lives in this
church, in each one of us.

1516
01:22:40,497 --> 01:22:42,707
And the town of Midnight Clear says?

1517
01:22:42,749 --> 01:22:43,749
Amen.

1518
01:22:47,420 --> 01:22:48,420
Amen.

1519
01:22:51,800 --> 01:22:54,636
Amen.

1520
01:22:54,678 --> 01:23:00,600
It came upon
the midnight clear.

1521
01:23:00,642 --> 01:23:04,229
That glorious song

1522
01:23:04,270 --> 01:23:12,270
of old from angels
bending near the Earth

1523
01:23:13,863 --> 01:23:18,284
to touch their harps of gold.

1524
01:23:33,341 --> 01:23:34,341
I'll be right back.

1525
01:23:42,225 --> 01:23:44,561
Beautiful Christmas Eve service.

1526
01:23:44,602 --> 01:23:46,354
Not a dry eye in the church.

1527
01:23:49,232 --> 01:23:50,817
You good?

1528
01:23:50,859 --> 01:23:51,609
Yeah.

1529
01:23:51,651 --> 01:23:53,319
Yeah. Just thinking.

1530
01:23:53,361 --> 01:23:56,031
Tonight was pretty cool to be a part of.

1531
01:23:58,575 --> 01:24:01,745
Maybe I will join the family
business after all.

1532
01:24:01,786 --> 01:24:05,665
Oh.

1533
01:24:05,707 --> 01:24:07,584
See you, Uncle D. Bye, Grandpa.

1534
01:24:17,260 --> 01:24:18,762
What do you want, Dad?

1535
01:24:18,803 --> 01:24:21,056
I heard you were trying to fix the roof.

1536
01:24:21,097 --> 01:24:24,184
I was, and we did.

1537
01:24:24,225 --> 01:24:27,062
The town came together
and we made it happen.

1538
01:24:27,103 --> 01:24:30,065
Is that all?

1539
01:24:30,106 --> 01:24:35,111
Oh, Pastor Porter, I assume.

1540
01:24:35,153 --> 01:24:40,158
This is my father, Richard Shaw.

1541
01:24:40,200 --> 01:24:42,118
I just came to see what
made my daughter walk

1542
01:24:42,160 --> 01:24:43,661
away from everything we built.

1543
01:24:43,703 --> 01:24:44,954
Dad, it's Christmas Eve.

1544
01:24:44,996 --> 01:24:46,790
Can we please not do this?

1545
01:24:46,831 --> 01:24:48,708
This won't take long.

1546
01:24:48,750 --> 01:24:51,503
I'm starting a new division
at Shaw Developments.

1547
01:24:51,544 --> 01:24:53,004
Well, I told you, I quit.

1548
01:24:53,046 --> 01:24:54,339
You did.

1549
01:24:54,380 --> 01:24:57,092
But I was hoping you'd
consider returning

1550
01:24:57,133 --> 01:25:02,305
to save places like this
instead of destroying them.

1551
01:25:02,347 --> 01:25:04,224
I found a new home
here in Midnight Clear.

1552
01:25:04,265 --> 01:25:07,602
I'm... I'm not leaving.

1553
01:25:07,644 --> 01:25:10,021
It could be based right here.

1554
01:25:10,063 --> 01:25:12,732
What about
your development plans?

1555
01:25:12,774 --> 01:25:15,318
I read your proposal.

1556
01:25:15,360 --> 01:25:20,115
To preserve and revitalize, I believe?

1557
01:25:20,156 --> 01:25:21,866
You were right.

1558
01:25:21,908 --> 01:25:25,662
Midnight Clear has a lot more
to offer than profit margins.

1559
01:25:25,703 --> 01:25:31,000
And I saw that firsthand
tonight during your service.

1560
01:25:31,042 --> 01:25:33,962
Midnight Clear is a special place.

1561
01:25:34,003 --> 01:25:37,423
And I'm sorry, Hilary, for not listening.

1562
01:25:37,465 --> 01:25:40,969
I rescinded my plans for the town.

1563
01:25:41,010 --> 01:25:44,472
I'm hoping you'll make Midnight
Clear our first community

1564
01:25:44,514 --> 01:25:47,433
restoration project.

1565
01:25:53,815 --> 01:25:58,278
Mr. Shaw, would you like to join

1566
01:25:58,319 --> 01:26:01,698
us at the diner for Christmas
cookies and hot chocolate?

1567
01:26:01,739 --> 01:26:03,575
Oh.

1568
01:26:03,616 --> 01:26:04,617
I'd be honored.

1569
01:26:04,659 --> 01:26:05,659
Ah.

1570
01:26:17,338 --> 01:26:24,053
So how was your first
Christmas at Midnight Clear?

1571
01:26:24,095 --> 01:26:27,015
First of many, I hope.

1572
01:26:27,056 --> 01:26:28,725
Does that mean we
have a new resident?

1573
01:26:36,566 --> 01:26:40,445
Merry Christmas, Pastor Porter.

1574
01:26:40,486 --> 01:26:44,115
Merry Christmas, Ms. Shaw.
