00:00:30Do you think it was a terrible idea, us hosting the Christmas Gala?
00:00:36Why would you say that?
00:00:37Well, our business is already successful. We want to expand to other locations.
00:00:41If this party becomes a total flop, it's just going to make us look bad.
00:00:43I am just, I'm so worried I'm going to push us to our limits.
00:00:47It is not going to flop.
00:00:49We are all going to work together like we always do, and it's going to turn out great.
00:00:53Plus, it'll be great for publicity.
00:00:55I already have everyone lined up from catering to decorations,
00:00:57so, actually, the decorators need to know when they can access the Alford House.
00:01:01Yes, on that note, I have a meeting with the city's event manager this afternoon.
00:01:05Now, there is a wedding just two days before,
00:01:07so we're going to have to wait until we can set up then.
00:01:09Sorry, it's fine. It's going to be fine.
00:01:12Is that all of them?
00:01:13Uh, yeah, we're all cut up from yesterday. Clean slate.
00:01:17Not for long. We open in five.
00:01:19Oof.
00:01:20Okay, ladies. Jingle, jingle.
00:01:23Woo!
00:01:24It's officially the holiday season, about to be the mad rush.
00:01:29Our little shop is about to be wrapped, packed, and stacked.
00:01:33We're not going to see much of each other in the coming weeks, all the signs here.
00:01:35We have friends and family that need us, a gala to plan, and not to mention titles to defend
00:01:42for the annual wrapping competition.
00:01:45Defend, we will.
00:01:45Like every year.
00:01:47Yes.
00:01:47We must bring our A-game.
00:01:49Tina's morning pep talk, everyone.
00:01:52What?
00:01:54And don't forget, finding dates for the gala.
00:01:58Oh, Mia. Always the romantic.
00:02:00Aww.
00:02:02All right, bring it in.
00:02:06Good luck, and Godspeed.
00:02:10Four, two, six!
00:02:11Woo!
00:02:12All right, I've got the door.
00:02:15Okay.
00:02:15So, I found the perfect guy.
00:02:21You, Miss Independent.
00:02:22Whatever happened to business first, romance second?
00:02:24Hmm, he's not for me.
00:02:26Oh, Lily, stop.
00:02:27Hear me out.
00:02:28He's tall, he's successful, he's funny, well-dressed, very good-looking, like Paul Newman good-looking.
00:02:34Your favorite.
00:02:35Mm-mm, I don't buy it.
00:02:36Nobody is that handsome, except for maybe Paul Newman.
00:02:40What if he is?
00:02:42Well, then he needs to apply to be the next bachelor.
00:02:44Tina, come on.
00:02:46It's time for you to put yourself back out there.
00:02:49It's been almost a year since you and Adam broke up.
00:02:52Broke up, Lily.
00:02:52We were engaged to be married.
00:02:54I had a wedding dress and a venue.
00:02:56It wasn't just some silly breakup.
00:02:58I know, and I hate that he was such a letdown, but-
00:03:00Lily, he wasn't a letdown.
00:03:01He was a liar.
00:03:02Our entire relationship was like one big con.
00:03:05But this guy could be different.
00:03:08He seems great.
00:03:10What is it that I always say?
00:03:12Not everything is as it seems.
00:03:14Fine.
00:03:15I'll drop it.
00:03:16But just so you know, I read your horoscope this morning, and it said to keep an open heart
00:03:20this holiday season.
00:03:21All right.
00:03:24I will open.
00:03:30Merry Christmas!
00:03:32Hello, welcome.
00:03:33Oh, it's so nice to see you again.
00:03:36Oh, we have your wrapping ready.
00:03:37Hi.
00:03:38Dad, are you home?
00:03:45I just stopped by for lunch.
00:03:49In here.
00:03:51My favorite record by the Christmas crew is December 1956, live at the Lighthouse Cafe.
00:03:58Never gets old, does it?
00:04:00I found some more interesting stuff on the old Alfred House.
00:04:05Well, sounds like they hired the right caretaker.
00:04:07More of a post-retirement hobby for now.
00:04:12You know how I love the history of these kinds of old houses.
00:04:16Once a history teacher, always a history teacher.
00:04:19Did you know it hosted the King and Queen of Denmark, 1904?
00:04:25And here I thought it was only used to host the St. Paul's Christmas Gala every year.
00:04:30I've been discovering a lot of great stuff from this old house.
00:04:33Not to mention we are hosting said gala.
00:04:37Sponsoring the Christmas Gala, that's a big responsibility.
00:04:40Couldn't have picked a better person.
00:04:42Oh, thanks, Dad.
00:04:44That means so much to me.
00:04:47Your mom would have been so proud that you're carrying on the tradition.
00:04:52The Christmas Gala was her favorite event of the year.
00:04:55And not just because that's where we met.
00:04:57I'm leaving now.
00:04:59I love you, Dad.
00:05:02Bye.
00:05:03Love you.
00:05:04Brown or red?
00:05:28Come on.
00:05:36Why does this always happen?
00:05:43Is your camera not working?
00:05:45Do you know anything about cameras?
00:05:46Let me take a look.
00:05:50Oh, it's an easy fix.
00:05:52All you have to do is just flip this, flip it over.
00:05:55There we are.
00:05:56Oh!
00:05:58Ah, it looks like I just took a photo.
00:06:03You're very photogenic.
00:06:05Oh, thank you.
00:06:06Oh, that is very good.
00:06:08Why don't we take my new profile picture?
00:06:09Yeah.
00:06:10Word off the red-nosed reindeer.
00:06:12That's cute.
00:06:13Oh.
00:06:13I love that you're using one of those old cameras.
00:06:17Smartphones are just not the same.
00:06:19Well, my dad gave it to me last year for Christmas.
00:06:22Apparently, I'm a visual learner, whatever that means.
00:06:24This year, I want to get up to something just as special.
00:06:26But I have to do it quick before he comes back.
00:06:30Oh, that's so sweet of you.
00:06:33Will you help me find something for him?
00:06:35Well, I don't work here.
00:06:36And I do have to get back to my shop.
00:06:40Where is your dad?
00:06:41He had to take a call.
00:06:43Happens a lot.
00:06:43Work, work, work.
00:06:48Well, what do you think he would like?
00:06:51Well, he needs someone to help dress him.
00:06:53That's for sure.
00:06:54Someone stylish.
00:06:56Like you.
00:06:57Really?
00:06:57You think I'm stylish?
00:06:59Definitely.
00:07:00Okay, you know, I do have five minutes.
00:07:03Why don't we start in the men's department?
00:07:05Follow me this way.
00:07:08What is your name, by the way?
00:07:10Hayley, what's yours?
00:07:11It's Tina.
00:07:12Hi, Miss Tina.
00:07:13Hmm.
00:07:15So tell me a little bit about your dad so it will help me pick something up for him.
00:07:19Okay, well, he's super good at making things, like with tools and stuff.
00:07:24He owns a big company that's super successful.
00:07:27He's super nice.
00:07:28Only super busy, but that's okay because we have a super fun time doing stuff together.
00:07:32He sounds super.
00:07:33He sounds super.
00:07:34He is.
00:07:35Maybe we should get him a nice tie and every time he puts it on, he's reminded of you.
00:07:41Good idea.
00:07:42Okay, let's find something that's really fun and that stands out.
00:07:46Okay.
00:07:47Okay.
00:07:48Um...
00:07:49What about this one?
00:07:50Oh, I really like that.
00:07:51Oh, I really like that.
00:07:52That's very classy.
00:07:53I think he'd like that.
00:07:54Hmm?
00:07:55He that?
00:07:56Yeah?
00:07:57I'm gonna go on the other side, see if I can find anything crazier.
00:07:58Oh, perfect.
00:07:59It's quite nice.
00:08:00Nice color.
00:08:01Nice tie.
00:08:02You think?
00:08:03Yeah.
00:08:04Colorful, bold.
00:08:05Says I'm in charge with a touch of congeniality.
00:08:19Well, what more could you want in a tie?
00:08:23Dad.
00:08:24Oh, hey, kiddo.
00:08:27Oh, Dad, this is Miss Tina.
00:08:30She was helping me pick out a gift for you.
00:08:32Oh.
00:08:33Hi, Miss Tina.
00:08:36I'm Michael Alonso.
00:08:38Oh, you're her dad.
00:08:41Hayley, I don't think you should do that.
00:08:43Why?
00:08:44I already took two pictures of her.
00:08:45Look.
00:08:47Oh, wow.
00:08:48Now that's a glamour shot if I've ever seen one.
00:08:51Well, you should be very proud.
00:08:52She's obviously very talented.
00:08:54Is that tie for me?
00:08:57Bad.
00:08:58You ruined the surprise.
00:08:59I'll pretend like I didn't see it.
00:09:01But if it was for you, do you like it?
00:09:05Honey, I love it.
00:09:06That is exactly what I've picked out for myself.
00:09:08Gotta get back to my shop.
00:09:10Shop?
00:09:11Uh, yeah.
00:09:12I'm the co-owner of All Wrapped Up over on Grand Avenue.
00:09:15We professionally wrap gifts all year round.
00:09:17That is so cool.
00:09:18Can I go?
00:09:19Of course.
00:09:20Stop by whenever you'd like.
00:09:21I'll even give you a discount.
00:09:23No, we might take you up on that.
00:09:25Great.
00:09:26Well, Merry Christmas.
00:09:28Merry Christmas.
00:09:29So, do you have cash for that?
00:09:34I need an advance of my allowance.
00:09:37Okay, we can talk about it.
00:09:41Okay, thanks so much.
00:09:46Have a nice night.
00:09:47Bye.
00:09:48Bye.
00:10:18Hi, Gina.
00:10:19Oh, Judge Reynolds.
00:10:20I know it's a lot to ask, but we have to get these overseas right away.
00:10:35Can I get them expedited?
00:10:36Of course.
00:10:37What is your definition of expedited?
00:10:39This afternoon.
00:10:40I'll pay whatever fee is necessary.
00:10:43You know what?
00:10:44I would hate to lose your business, Judge Reynolds, so consider it done.
00:10:47Ah, thank you.
00:10:48Thank you.
00:10:49Let me know when I can return the favor.
00:10:51Well, if I ever get a speeding ticket, I know who to come to.
00:10:54We both know you'd never get one.
00:10:56That's true.
00:10:57Merry Christmas.
00:10:58Merry Christmas.
00:11:00Oh.
00:11:02VIP treatment.
00:11:04Thank you.
00:11:06Oh, Olivia, I have a meeting with the city's event coordinator.
00:11:09Are you good here?
00:11:10Yeah, we've got the shop covered.
00:11:12Oh.
00:11:13Nina.
00:11:14You dropped this.
00:11:15Mr. Alonzo.
00:11:16Hi.
00:11:17Oh, thank you.
00:11:18It's quite the hefty to-do list.
00:11:19Oh, yeah.
00:11:20My business is heading up the St. Paul's Christmas Gala this year.
00:11:21I hear that's quite the party.
00:11:22Yeah.
00:11:23It really is.
00:11:24So, all hands on deck.
00:11:25Hey, I, um, I don't normally do this, but would you like to get a coffee sometime, uh,
00:11:29in the near future or lunch maybe?
00:11:52Don't worry.
00:11:53Don't worry, I take rejection well, most of the time.
00:11:59That is a very kind offer, Michael, but, um, I am very busy with the shop and the gala.
00:12:07It's totally fine, I understand.
00:12:09Am I still allowed to get that discount?
00:12:11Of course. I'll even throw in a free bow.
00:12:16Right.
00:12:17Thanks, Michael.
00:12:18No, no, of course. Have a good one.
00:12:20You too.
00:12:23Dad?
00:12:40Dad?
00:12:41In here.
00:12:46Hi.
00:12:47Hey, take a look at this that I just found.
00:12:50Mm.
00:12:53Almost looks like you and the girls over at the Walnut House.
00:12:58Oh, yeah, it kind of does, doesn't it?
00:13:00Maybe they opened up a business together, too.
00:13:04Maybe.
00:13:05Dad, I love how much joy all these photos bring you.
00:13:09Oh, it's not the photos, it's who's in them.
00:13:12Hey, look at this. See the moldings here?
00:13:15And if I'm right, one of these ladies could be her.
00:13:22The lady in blue.
00:13:25Dad, why are you so obsessed with this portrait?
00:13:28I don't know.
00:13:29It's just something about her.
00:13:30Your mom had a gut feeling.
00:13:32She'd say, that's not a portrait.
00:13:33It's a story.
00:13:35This entire house is...
00:13:37She's part of its history.
00:13:38You are adorable.
00:13:39This place, that portrait, these old photographs, there's a story in all of them.
00:13:46I mean, who were they?
00:13:49What were their hopes and dreams?
00:13:51Okay, Dad.
00:13:52I cannot speak for them, but my hopes and dreams is that we're ready in time for this gala.
00:13:57I know, I know.
00:13:58I just wish sometimes you would take a moment and observe.
00:14:02Slow down.
00:14:04We're all just passing through history.
00:14:06You don't want to miss it.
00:14:08Hello?
00:14:09Hey, Robin.
00:14:11Take a look at what I found here.
00:14:14I think I may have made a connection to the lady in blue.
00:14:19Fantastic.
00:14:19Oh, you really should be working for the Historical Society, Thomas.
00:14:23No, I don't know about that.
00:14:24I do.
00:14:25You know, I can put you in touch with...
00:14:27Hello, hi.
00:14:28The gala.
00:14:29Oh, right.
00:14:30Did no one tell you?
00:14:31We've been informed that the party can't take place here this year.
00:14:36That is not funny, Robin.
00:14:38It's no joke.
00:14:39I'm sorry to say that the company that owns the rights to the property sold it.
00:14:44What?
00:14:46No.
00:14:46No, no, no, no.
00:14:47No, no, no.
00:14:48This is where the gala takes place.
00:14:50It's taken place here for the last 80 years.
00:14:52This cannot happen the first year all wrapped up with sponsoring it.
00:14:54So, we cannot be the ones that break tradition.
00:14:57I'm so sorry.
00:14:58All right.
00:14:59So, um, when do the new owners take possession?
00:15:03There is a wedding booked on the 23rd, and then we have to hand over the keys.
00:15:08I only found out this morning.
00:15:09We were informed of a cease and desist for any other scheduled events.
00:15:13Well, did anyone talk to them?
00:15:14Maybe they'll reconsider and let us host a gala here.
00:15:18Tried.
00:15:18Left word.
00:15:19I even reached out to the buyer who referred me to their lawyer who went on and on about liability.
00:15:23It was a non-starter.
00:15:25We're working on another venue.
00:15:27This is close to Christmas, but we've already sold all our tickets.
00:15:30There has to be a way to convince them.
00:15:32You're certainly welcome to try, but from what I've been told, the guy who owns the company is not going to bend.
00:15:38I'm real sharp from what I've been told.
00:15:40Apparently, he buys companies, guts them, fires everyone.
00:15:43Fifty people were just laid off right before Christmas.
00:15:46Oh, that's horrible.
00:15:48I'm going to text you all the information.
00:15:50In the meantime, I'll keep looking for a new spot.
00:15:52Oh, and the closing date for the sale is Monday.
00:15:56So we only have a few days to figure this out.
00:15:59Oh, my goodness.
00:16:00We're going to need a Christmas miracle.
00:16:02He's the one that sold the property?
00:16:19You've got to be kidding me.
00:16:28Hi.
00:16:29Anything?
00:16:30No, nothing that will accommodate that many people.
00:16:32I did contact the Bedford estate, but 120 is their max.
00:16:36Sophia, there has to be a way for us to stay at the Alford house.
00:16:39You are aware that everything that I ordered is specific to that house, right, Tina?
00:16:43Yes, I'm aware.
00:16:44And it may be impossible to change that order this close to Christmas.
00:16:48Yes, I'm aware of that, too.
00:16:49Look, I'm going to call you back once I have more of a plan, okay?
00:16:52Yeah, okay.
00:16:53Bye.
00:17:00This isn't a big surprise, Michael.
00:17:02I think we both knew this is where we'd end up.
00:17:05Yeah, I know.
00:17:08Please understand that although we are categorized as specialized learning,
00:17:13it's really a matter of finding a focus for me to a program with a specialized approach to reading and writing.
00:17:19You know she can't get that here?
00:17:20Not as focused as we'd like, unfortunately.
00:17:23I can't refer you to some schools that specialize in that learning, but options are limited.
00:17:29There are so many kids with needs here.
00:17:31Are there no other options in all of St. Paul?
00:17:33Well, we just don't have the funding.
00:17:36It takes a lot of resources to meet everyone's needs, and we're just not there right now.
00:17:40What if I did it myself?
00:17:47Did what?
00:17:49Open up a school for kids with learning disabilities.
00:17:52That's very noble of you, Mr. Alonzo, but it's a lot of work, and frankly, it'll take a miracle to make happen.
00:17:59Good thing we're in a season of making miracles, then.
00:18:03Merry Christmas.
00:18:04Merry Christmas.
00:18:19Did you have a cadet school, Hales?
00:18:22It was okay.
00:18:23Just okay?
00:18:25I'm sorry, Dad.
00:18:27What are you sorry about?
00:18:28That something's wrong with me.
00:18:31Hey.
00:18:33Mirame.
00:18:34There is nothing wrong with you.
00:18:38You're smart, capable, beautiful, funny.
00:18:43You just learned differently than the other kids in your class, that's all.
00:18:46You're just saying that because you're my dad.
00:18:48I am not.
00:18:50Do you know who Albert Einstein is?
00:18:52Of course.
00:18:54He was a genius, right?
00:18:55Yes.
00:18:56Super genius.
00:18:57How about Whoopi Goldberg?
00:18:58Very, very funny.
00:19:00Leonardo da Vinci.
00:19:02Greatest painter ever.
00:19:03Keira Knightley from that Christmas movie you watch every year.
00:19:06She's talented inside and out.
00:19:08And do you know what they all have in common?
00:19:11They all have dyslexia.
00:19:13Really?
00:19:14All of them?
00:19:14Some people say that's like having a superpower, especially when it comes to creativity.
00:19:20A superpower.
00:19:22Tell you what.
00:19:24Let's go do something fun.
00:19:27Anything you want.
00:19:28You pick.
00:19:29Anything?
00:19:30Really?
00:19:31Yeah.
00:19:32Okay.
00:19:33Okay.
00:19:34Disneyland.
00:19:36Let me rephrase that.
00:19:38Anything within a 20-minute drive.
00:19:41I know.
00:19:43Miss Tina's wrapping shop.
00:19:44Um, okay.
00:19:49Can we?
00:19:50Yes.
00:19:51Yes, of course we can.
00:19:53Let's go.
00:19:53Okay.
00:19:59Here you are.
00:20:01Merry Christmas.
00:20:02Merry Christmas.
00:20:03Cheese.
00:20:07Oh!
00:20:09Hailey!
00:20:10Hi!
00:20:11What are you doing here?
00:20:13I want to come see your shop.
00:20:15Oh, that's very sweet.
00:20:16Um, well, what do you think?
00:20:18I love it.
00:20:19So many colors.
00:20:23This is a good one.
00:20:24Oh, is it?
00:20:27That is good.
00:20:28What's your trick?
00:20:30I don't know.
00:20:31I guess I'm a natural.
00:20:31Do you want to come get hot chocolate with me and my dad?
00:20:37Oh, uh, Hailey, right now is sort of a bad time.
00:20:40I'm very busy.
00:20:40Hailey, Bianca, Alonzo.
00:20:42I thought you were going to wait while I pay for parking.
00:20:45Sorry, Dad.
00:20:47Isn't this a pretty one?
00:20:50Yes.
00:20:51Yes, it's very pretty.
00:20:55Dad, I'm going to go get a candy cane.
00:20:57Okay.
00:20:59Sorry.
00:21:00She, um, she had a bad day at school and asked to come here.
00:21:05I didn't have that hard to say no.
00:21:07It's nice to see her.
00:21:10Well, maybe it's serendipitous.
00:21:13I could use some help finding a gift for someone.
00:21:17Well, I am very busy.
00:21:18I have a bunch of orders to fill.
00:21:20But Lily over here, she's very good at picking out gifts.
00:21:22Right, Lily?
00:21:23Mr. Alonzo here.
00:21:24He could probably use some help.
00:21:25Oh, um, I'm on break.
00:21:27But, uh...
00:21:29Honestly, I kind of would like to have your help.
00:21:33You know what, Michael?
00:21:34There is something that I would like to talk to you about.
00:21:36Great.
00:21:37Well, let's talk about it.
00:21:38Tomorrow at Dayton's.
00:21:40We can wrap two gifts with one bow.
00:21:41Perfect.
00:21:42Uh, my lunch is at 12.30.
00:21:4412.30.
00:21:45Perfect.
00:21:46Hayley, let's go.
00:21:51Oh.
00:21:51Bye.
00:21:52Bye.
00:21:59Are you kidding?
00:22:01What?
00:22:01What?
00:22:02What do you mean, what?
00:22:03That guy was a hunk, Tina.
00:22:05Maybe that's who your horoscope was talking about.
00:22:08Remember?
00:22:09Keep an open heart.
00:22:10No, I don't believe in that stuff.
00:22:12Besides, there's more to the story.
00:22:14That's the guy that owns the company that sold the Alfred house.
00:22:19Wow.
00:22:20What are the odds?
00:22:22Maybe it's a sign.
00:22:23Or one big annoying coincidence.
00:22:26You know I don't believe in coincidences.
00:22:28Hey, maybe he can help us find a way to still host the gala there.
00:22:32Yeah.
00:22:33Yeah, that's my plan.
00:22:35I'm going to meet him at Dayton's so I can convince him.
00:22:39Hmm.
00:22:39By the way he looks at you, I don't think it'll take much convincing.
00:22:43Don't let his good looks fool you.
00:22:45That guy is a total shark.
00:22:47Time for the shark to take the bait.
00:23:14Game on, Alonzo.
00:23:17Hey, there you are.
00:23:35Um, ladies department, huh?
00:23:37Yeah.
00:23:38Shopping for a very special lady.
00:23:39At least I think anyway.
00:23:41So, uh, tell me about your special lady.
00:23:43Honestly, I don't really know her that well yet.
00:23:47I'd like to get her something special, just in case.
00:23:50Okay.
00:23:51Uh, well, cashmere is always very nice, but it is expensive.
00:23:56I'm okay with that.
00:23:58Okay.
00:23:59Uh, what color do you think she would like?
00:24:00See, that's the thing.
00:24:01I'm really horrible with this stuff.
00:24:04What color would you pick?
00:24:06I think I would pick this color.
00:24:07It's very nice.
00:24:08It's a neutral.
00:24:09Um, though Olivia and Lily would say it's boring.
00:24:12They think my taste can be boring.
00:24:14I disagree.
00:24:15Neutral is nice.
00:24:16It's elegant.
00:24:17So, this one.
00:24:20Yeah, I do.
00:24:21I do like it.
00:24:22Um, if, uh, oh, yikes.
00:24:25Oh.
00:24:26Ooh.
00:24:27Uh, you know, Michael, why don't we go look for something else?
00:24:32You don't want to scare someone off when you don't know them that well.
00:24:35See, I told you.
00:24:36You're already helping me.
00:24:38Um, hmm.
00:24:43Michael, do you mind me asking what you do for a living?
00:24:46I don't mind at all.
00:24:48It's, uh, a little complicated.
00:24:50What, are you a secret agent or something?
00:24:53No, uh, nothing like that.
00:24:55I run a family business.
00:24:57We invest in companies and other small businesses.
00:25:01By companies, you mean properties.
00:25:03And by buy and invest, you mean sell and dismantle?
00:25:05Not if we can help it.
00:25:06Right before Christmas time.
00:25:08Not if we can help it.
00:25:09Oh, Michael, that sounds so cutthroat.
00:25:11You have to make hard choices sometimes for the future of the company.
00:25:14Hopefully not at the expense of people you have history with.
00:25:17Trying not to?
00:25:19Why?
00:25:21Uh, I, I just, curious.
00:25:25Oh, I like this.
00:25:26This is actually quite beautiful.
00:25:28Right?
00:25:28You don't think it would scare someone off?
00:25:31Not unless you give her a personalized mixtape with it.
00:25:35I'll save that for Valentine's Day.
00:25:36Oh, shoot, sorry, I gotta take this.
00:25:40Please, just be a second.
00:25:41Yeah, it's fine.
00:25:44Dennis, hi.
00:25:46No, no, I'm thinking of starting on myself.
00:25:50No, I'll, I'll deal with the financial stuff later.
00:25:53Let's just get this done before anyone else tries to talk me out of it.
00:25:56No, no, I'm not interested in a second opinion.
00:26:00I need to be ruthless.
00:26:04Hey, sorry about that.
00:26:05Can we just keep...
00:26:06Oh, Michael, you know, I, I do have to go.
00:26:08Wait, I thought you wanted to talk to me about something.
00:26:10Mm-mm.
00:26:11Is everything okay?
00:26:12Merry Christmas.
00:26:13I mean, I overheard him on the phone telling whoever it was
00:26:26that he needed to be ruthless and he didn't want a second opinion.
00:26:29He sounded like a total tyrant,
00:26:30yet at the same time he is so sweet and he is so charming.
00:26:35He's a single dad who clearly loves his daughter,
00:26:38yet so easily will kick somebody off the curb without a second thought.
00:26:41Sounds like he's a bit of a sweet talker.
00:26:44Most businessmen are.
00:26:45Well, two can play that game.
00:26:47I just need to sweet talk him into pushing the closing date of the Alfred House.
00:26:51You're going to go see him again?
00:26:53Yeah, Dad, he owns the Alfred House.
00:26:56It's just very hard to focus when he flashes that perfect smile on his hair.
00:27:00It's so nice.
00:27:03Well, speaking of the Alfred House, I have an idea.
00:27:09Okay, yeah, I'm all yours.
00:27:12Well, you know how I've been digging into its history?
00:27:15Yeah.
00:27:16What if there is something there?
00:27:19What if there is something that will qualify it under historical preservation?
00:27:24Do you think that's actually possible?
00:27:26Oh, the point is, there's always something.
00:27:29Perhaps we'll get lucky.
00:27:31At the very least, it could temporarily halt the sale long enough for the gala.
00:27:38Dumb.
00:27:40That's a brilliant idea.
00:27:42Well, that place meant a lot to your mother and me.
00:27:44We can't give it up.
00:27:46You did say you needed a miracle.
00:27:47We need to work on your skills a little bit.
00:27:57Oh.
00:28:04Okay, this is all we have logged for the Alfred House.
00:28:07Doesn't mean there isn't more, but I'm not finding anything else for this plat in our files.
00:28:11Don't lose hope.
00:28:12The search has only just begun.
00:28:14Oh, thank you, D-Tree.
00:28:15I feel like Erin Brockovich on a quest for justice.
00:28:19Isn't this fun?
00:28:20Oh, yes, it's a riot.
00:28:22Oh, I wanted to ask you.
00:28:25Do you know who that woman is?
00:28:28Hmm.
00:28:29I don't.
00:28:31But isn't she gorge?
00:28:33Don't you sometimes wish you were alive in that era?
00:28:36I like to look towards the future and not the past.
00:28:40Well, if that's the case, you've come to the wrong place, darling.
00:28:43These files are older than my great-grandfather's leather boots.
00:28:46Right.
00:28:47That's a good point.
00:28:48You're really going through all this trouble just to host a Christmas party.
00:28:52Well, the party, it means a lot to many people.
00:28:55And this year, it means a lot to my business.
00:28:59I see.
00:29:00Why do I get the feeling there's more to it than that?
00:29:03Why don't you check this out?
00:29:17Maybe you'll find the answer you're looking for.
00:29:19Thank you, Dietrich.
00:29:31I mean, I've looked up and down, left and right, and there's nothing available within 50 miles.
00:29:35Any progress with Michael Alonso?
00:29:37I'm working on it.
00:29:40Hey, I'll be right back, okay?
00:29:42It's Olivia.
00:29:44Hi.
00:29:45We just got a rush order.
00:29:47All hands on deck.
00:29:49I'm on my way.
00:29:51Sorry, Robin.
00:29:52I gotta go.
00:29:53Toodaloo.
00:29:53Keep me posted on what Ebeneezer Scrooge says.
00:29:56Okay.
00:29:57Bye.
00:29:57Bye.
00:29:57Hey, Olivia.
00:30:08Are you all good here?
00:30:09I have a meeting with Michael.
00:30:11It's probably our last shot.
00:30:13So you're wrong about him?
00:30:14No, he's a greedy business tycoon.
00:30:17Just as I suspected.
00:30:20But he was so sweet at the shop.
00:30:25What is it that I always say?
00:30:26Not everything is as it seems.
00:30:30Oh, come on.
00:30:33You have to be even a little intrigued.
00:30:38Okay, I mean, I guess I'm a bit intrigued.
00:30:44The media is very charming.
00:30:47But people like him, they always are.
00:30:50This is what you do.
00:30:52You jump to conclusions about people.
00:30:55You meet someone who's clearly interested
00:30:58and your walls go up.
00:30:59No, this is about me not wanting to be with someone
00:31:01that buys companies, sells them,
00:31:04and then fires hardworking people
00:31:05right before Christmas time.
00:31:08I'm just saying.
00:31:10Be open to the fact that
00:31:12he might not be the evil supervillain
00:31:15you might think he is.
00:31:16Well, time will tell.
00:31:24I love you.
00:31:25Love you.
00:31:26Love you.
00:31:33Well, thank you for your support.
00:31:35Oh, Tina Mitchell.
00:31:36Oh, Mayor Betts.
00:31:37Hello.
00:31:38We are all very excited for the gala this year.
00:31:40Oh.
00:31:40So, how are preparations coming along?
00:31:43They're coming along all right.
00:31:45Excellent.
00:31:46You know, my wife is determined
00:31:47to win the best rap contest.
00:31:49Oh, well, she's going to have to get through me first.
00:31:52Not only am I the emcee this year,
00:31:54I'm also the judge.
00:31:56Isn't that a conflict of interest?
00:31:59I will be as impartial
00:32:00as any sitting politician can be.
00:32:03All right, good luck.
00:32:05Thank you.
00:32:06Thank you.
00:32:06Thank you.
00:32:08Still the caretaker,
00:32:21at least until the sale is final.
00:32:28According to my supervisor,
00:32:31the company that bought the property
00:32:32is intending on tearing it down.
00:32:34Built some fancy schmancy hotel.
00:32:37Tear it down.
00:32:38Dad, are you being serious?
00:32:40All the more reason to find a reason
00:32:42why they can't.
00:32:45Wow.
00:32:46This is incredible.
00:32:50They really don't make them like this anymore, huh?
00:32:53Michael, hi.
00:32:54Thanks for coming all this way.
00:32:56This is my dad, Thomas.
00:32:58He's the caretaker here.
00:33:00Nice to meet you.
00:33:03Why do I have a feeling I'm in trouble?
00:33:05No, um, I wanted you to see it.
00:33:11I see it.
00:33:13Beautiful mahogany crown molding.
00:33:16Good eye?
00:33:17I dabbled in woodworking.
00:33:19Of course you did.
00:33:21Well, look at the carbons here.
00:33:23All geometrically aligned.
00:33:25I did notice that.
00:33:27Same with the wainscoting.
00:33:28Incredible detail.
00:33:29Nineteenth century, right?
00:33:31Sure is.
00:33:33Hey, follow me.
00:33:34Dad, I...
00:33:36This was my wife's favorite piece
00:33:38in this whole house.
00:33:42Wow.
00:33:43She's stunning.
00:33:44Oh, we call her the lady in blue.
00:33:48I chew there's a story in there.
00:33:51In fact, she's part of our story.
00:33:53Tina's mom and I met right here 40 years ago
00:33:56at the St. Paul Christmas Gala.
00:33:58It was love at first sight.
00:34:01Michael, you're here because this is a venue
00:34:04where St. Paul holds the Christmas Gala.
00:34:07It's the largest charity event in the state.
00:34:09And it's important to a lot of people.
00:34:11But without your help, for the first time in 80 years,
00:34:16it's not going to be happening here.
00:34:19I'm confused.
00:34:21The party this year isn't going to happen
00:34:23because Alonzo Industries owns the property
00:34:27and you sold it.
00:34:29We're told we have to find a new venue.
00:34:32Well, I'm sure I can clear that up with the new owner.
00:34:34It's Rick Campion.
00:34:35He's a real nice guy.
00:34:37Are you sure about that?
00:34:38What does that mean?
00:34:40He's planning on tearing it down.
00:34:42What?
00:34:43Oh, come on, Michael.
00:34:44Don't act like you don't know.
00:34:45You're probably getting a cut of the hotel profits
00:34:47he's going to make off of this.
00:34:49Look, my company buys and sells
00:34:52and merges and trades on many levels.
00:34:53It's hard to keep it all straight sometimes.
00:34:55But Rick told me he was going to turn this place
00:34:57into a historical boutique hotel.
00:34:59There was no talk of tearing it down.
00:35:01Well, looks like Rick, he lied.
00:35:04Michael, the closing is in three days.
00:35:10Is there anything that you can do?
00:35:12I can try.
00:35:14But the paperwork is complex.
00:35:16I can have my lawyers take a look at it.
00:35:19The gala, the gala's Christmas Day, right?
00:35:22Yes.
00:35:24Look, Michael, I know that this is a big ask.
00:35:27This gala, it means so much to so many people.
00:35:29And it means a lot to me.
00:35:34I'm not going down without a fight.
00:35:37Well, then let's get in the ring and win that fight.
00:35:44Michael, I really appreciate you being willing to help.
00:35:47That means so much to me.
00:35:49Of course.
00:35:50No, I'd hate to see such a beloved tradition get ruined.
00:35:53Not to mention be part of the reason this place turns to dust.
00:35:56I'm really sorry that I accused you of being in on it.
00:36:00It's just really hard for me to trust people lately.
00:36:03But is there anything I can do to make it up to you?
00:36:08Actually, there is.
00:36:10Okay, you name it.
00:36:11Come to dinner with me and Hayley.
00:36:15Nice to meet you, Michael.
00:36:17Nice to meet you, Mr. Mitchell.
00:36:18Thank you.
00:36:19Michael, I thought I made it very clear to you.
00:36:28I'm not looking to date right now.
00:36:30Oh, it's not a date, okay?
00:36:31It's just a dinner, right?
00:36:33Between business associates who are working together
00:36:35from keeping an iconic Christmas party from being called off.
00:36:38I'm not really sure Hayley's going to see it that way.
00:36:40She's very young.
00:36:41I don't want to give her the wrong idea.
00:36:42I'll make sure she knows it's just platonic.
00:36:44What about that woman that I helped you shop for?
00:36:49What about her?
00:36:50Well, would she like it if I had dinner with you and Hayley?
00:36:54She's not my girlfriend.
00:36:56That's what you're asking.
00:36:58I make a mean roast.
00:37:00Miss Tina.
00:37:24Hayley, hi.
00:37:25So happy to see you.
00:37:27Come in.
00:37:27Thank you.
00:37:30Hi, Michael.
00:37:35I'm glad you're good to join us.
00:37:40Oh, no, no, no, no.
00:37:42Why is this stuff to broil?
00:37:44I don't know.
00:37:45Okay.
00:37:45Oh, dear.
00:37:48Oh, no.
00:37:49Uh-oh.
00:37:49Is that what you call me, roast Michael?
00:37:52I swear I am not a bad coach.
00:37:53It's okay.
00:37:54Uh, what else do you have?
00:37:57Um, let me check the pantry and see.
00:38:00Um, I have some pasta.
00:38:04Okay, that's perfect.
00:38:06And we got some tomatoes, which is good.
00:38:08Nice, nice.
00:38:09Yeah, right here.
00:38:10Good luck with dinner, you two.
00:38:11Thanks, Hayley.
00:38:12Okay, garlic, garlic.
00:38:14I've got some garlic.
00:38:15Um, do you have any olive oil?
00:38:18Right here.
00:38:18Spices.
00:38:21Knife.
00:38:23Whoop.
00:38:24Spices.
00:38:25And I'm going to boil some water.
00:38:27Great.
00:38:27I'll, uh, chop up the garlic.
00:38:29I wish there was more I could do to save this place.
00:38:48I mean, look around, all original, turn of the century.
00:38:51It's a work of art.
00:38:53Well, I found out that to start a National Register nomination, we'd need to find something
00:38:57unique with statewide significance.
00:39:00Um, cultural, military, architectural, something of value that sets it apart.
00:39:04Then we'd need to submit a nomination for the property, including deeds, maps, and photographs.
00:39:11It feels impossible.
00:39:12No, we can't give up.
00:39:14I don't know about you, but I was really looking forward to the gala this year.
00:39:18Me too.
00:39:19In fact, I was, well, I was actually going to see if you wanted to go together.
00:39:23That was until, you know, all this happened.
00:39:27Well, all the more reason to keep searching then, right?
00:39:34Here we go.
00:39:36Thank you.
00:39:37Oh, thank you so much.
00:39:38There you are.
00:39:39And voila.
00:39:41Mmm.
00:39:43Ah.
00:39:45This is the best pasta I've ever had.
00:39:47Miss Tina's a really good cook, isn't she, Dad?
00:39:49Well, your dad did most of the work.
00:39:51Well, he's a good cook, too.
00:39:53Too bad I put the roast.
00:39:55You guys make a good team.
00:39:57Um, so, what are your plans for Christmas?
00:40:02Oh, we usually go to New York.
00:40:04Every Christmas.
00:40:04But this year, we're staying in.
00:40:06Just the two of us.
00:40:08Well, unless you don't have any plans.
00:40:10You get right to the point, don't you?
00:40:12I think that it's important that you know, um, that your dad and myself, we are working
00:40:18on something together, business-related, just as friends.
00:40:25Friends.
00:40:26Right.
00:40:26What she's trying to say, Hales, is that we both know what you're trying to do, and things
00:40:32don't just work that way just work that way.
00:40:33But you said you think she's really pretty.
00:40:36Oh.
00:40:37You did?
00:40:38Oh.
00:40:39And that she has a really nice sense of humor once you get past the layers.
00:40:43Whatever that means.
00:40:44Do you actually think so?
00:40:45Yeah.
00:40:46I do.
00:40:47See?
00:40:48Haley, it's just not that simple.
00:40:49And you, you said you think he's really nice and really, really handsome.
00:40:51Oh, well, I don't know if I really said that.
00:40:53So you don't think he's handsome?
00:40:54No, I mean, I do.
00:40:55He's very handsome.
00:40:56Well, you know, you know what I mean.
00:40:57Um, look, like your dad said, it's not that simple.
00:40:58Why not?
00:40:59Are you married?
00:41:00Oh, no.
00:41:01Haley, it's complicated.
00:41:02Why is everything always so complicated with grown-ups?
00:41:03You know, that's a really good question.
00:41:06I just thought...
00:41:07It's a very sweet thought.
00:41:08Okay?
00:41:09I know you're just looking out for me.
00:41:10But for two grown-ups to like each other, it can't be forced.
00:41:15There has to be some kind of chemistry.
00:41:16What's that?
00:41:17Well, it's, um, when you're drawn to someone or something...
00:41:20to the person, the person, who's the person?
00:41:22Maybe you're like, oh, no.
00:41:23You're like, oh, no.
00:41:24You're like, oh, no.
00:41:25You're like, oh, no.
00:41:26I'm like, oh, no.
00:41:27You're like, oh, no.
00:41:28Haley, it's complicated.
00:41:29Why is everything always so complicated with grown-ups?
00:41:31You know, that's a really good question.
00:41:34I just thought...
00:41:35Yeah, it's a very sweet thought.
00:41:36Okay?
00:41:37oder etwas, für Dinge, die Sie nicht sehen oder nicht beschreiben können,
00:41:42und Sie nicht wirklich wissen, warum.
00:41:47Und Sie sind nicht?
00:41:54Ich werde noch etwas mehr Pasta machen.
00:42:02Ich denke, es gibt noch Pasta in der Bühne.
00:42:07Ist das deine Mutter?
00:42:17Ja.
00:42:19Sie ist wirklich schön.
00:42:22Ja, sie ist jetzt eine Angel.
00:42:26Du wirst wissen, meine Mutter,
00:42:30sie wurde eine Angel als ich sehr klein war.
00:42:34So I know how it feels.
00:42:37Es ist wirklich hart, während Christmastime.
00:42:41Mein Vater hat mir immer gelesen, wenn sie war.
00:42:44Ich bet.
00:42:46Es ist nicht fair, dass sie gone ist.
00:42:50Ich weiß nicht.
00:42:52Ich weiß nicht, dass ich meine Dad einen Specialist hatte.
00:42:55Aber ich habe gesagt, dass er keine promises hat.
00:42:58So, I try to do it myself.
00:43:01You wanna know something?
00:43:04You remind me so much of myself.
00:43:08When I feel like I can't control something,
00:43:12I look for ways to control it.
00:43:16It's our coping mechanism,
00:43:20but it also makes us fiercely strong.
00:43:24I just don't want my dad to be lonely.
00:43:26All he ever does is work.
00:43:28Hayley, your dad is a really wonderful man.
00:43:33He's going to find the right person.
00:43:37At the right time.
00:43:40I promise you.
00:43:42Hey, kiddo.
00:43:44It's getting late.
00:43:46Time to brush your teeth.
00:43:48Bye, Miss Tina.
00:43:49Good night, Hayley.
00:43:51I'll be right there with you.
00:43:57I'm sorry she made things a little awkward.
00:43:59She misses her mom and just wants me to be happy.
00:44:03I get that.
00:44:06I want my dad to find someone too.
00:44:11It's hard when you can't control your own fate.
00:44:16I'll get my jacket.
00:44:21Tina.
00:44:28Yeah?
00:44:30May I ask you a question?
00:44:32Of course.
00:44:35Why aren't you interested in seeing anyone right now?
00:44:38Oh.
00:44:42I met someone who I thought was perfect.
00:44:45And we were really happy.
00:44:47Like, so happy.
00:44:49And we got engaged after a few months.
00:44:54And we were supposed to have our Christmas wedding last year.
00:45:00I found out he had a whole other life.
00:45:05He lied about a lot of things.
00:45:08And everything I thought I knew about him turned out to be untrue.
00:45:12It was like I never really knew him.
00:45:24I'm sorry.
00:45:26That's really awful, huh?
00:45:28Yeah.
00:45:30Just easier being alone.
00:45:32You know, you don't deserve what happened to you.
00:45:39But to cut yourself off from something good happening.
00:45:45Life can be short.
00:45:48Really short.
00:45:49Don't let your past dictate your future.
00:45:52Your wife would be so proud of the way you're raising Haley.
00:46:03You think so?
00:46:04Oh my gosh, yes.
00:46:05Yes.
00:46:06I can tell by the way she looks at you.
00:46:08She really adores you.
00:46:09She really does.
00:46:11Yeah.
00:46:13You know that.
00:46:14Just by the way she looks at me.
00:46:16You can tell a lot.
00:46:18By the way that...
00:46:21Two people look at each other.
00:46:32Dad, there's no more toothpaste.
00:46:33Dad duty calls.
00:46:36Right.
00:46:37Yeah.
00:46:38You know, I want to thank you so much for tonight, really.
00:46:42Yeah.
00:46:44Hey, Haley and I are going to go to St. Masters tomorrow.
00:46:4811 a.m.
00:46:49There's a gift drive for underprivileged families.
00:46:53We need some help wrapping gifts.
00:46:56And we've heard you're really good at it.
00:46:59Wrapping gifts for underprivileged children.
00:47:02Are you being serious?
00:47:04Yeah.
00:47:05Yeah, it's part of a foundation for the company.
00:47:07Is that a problem?
00:47:09No, um...
00:47:12I just can't believe how wrong I was about you.
00:47:16I'll be there.
00:47:18Alright.
00:47:19Night, Michael.
00:47:20Goodnight.
00:47:32Cheese!
00:47:33Hailey, hi.
00:47:34I have a theory about chemistry.
00:47:35Okay.
00:47:36Take this photo for example.
00:47:37At first, the elements don't mix at all.
00:47:38But after they spend enough time together, the photo comes into focus and all the elements
00:47:39are a perfect match.
00:47:40Huh.
00:47:41are a perfect match.
00:47:42Huh.
00:47:43So, I was thinking it's the same thing with people, right?
00:47:44Yeah, talk to me.
00:47:45Really.
00:47:47You can't push it back a few days.
00:47:48Hailey, hi.
00:47:50I have a theory about chemistry.
00:47:52Okay.
00:47:54Take this photo, for example.
00:47:56At first, the elements don't mix at all.
00:47:58But, after they spend enough time together,
00:48:00the photo comes to focus,
00:48:02and all the elements are a perfect match.
00:48:04Huh.
00:48:06So, I was thinking it was the same thing with people, right?
00:48:08Yeah, talk to me.
00:48:10Really.
00:48:12You can't push it back a few days.
00:48:14So, if they spend enough time together,
00:48:16chemistry.
00:48:18Ooh, I like that. That's really good.
00:48:20If that's the way he wants to play it.
00:48:22Okay, keep me updated.
00:48:24Oh, hey.
00:48:26Hey, Dad.
00:48:28Let me, uh, help you with that.
00:48:30Thanks, Michael. Here. I'll take one.
00:48:32So, uh, was that Rick?
00:48:34Yeah.
00:48:36He said it's not his problem,
00:48:38and that we should find another place.
00:48:40Hey, uh,
00:48:42I'll help you find another venue.
00:48:44We'll figure this out.
00:48:46I promise.
00:48:48Thanks.
00:48:50I appreciate that.
00:48:52I'm glad you came.
00:48:54Thanks. Me too.
00:48:56Are you sure?
00:48:58It's a lot of gifts.
00:49:00You hired a professional, Michael.
00:49:02I got you.
00:49:04Come on.
00:49:06Got some wrapping to do.
00:49:10I still remember
00:49:20Like it was yesterday
00:49:22The smell of Mama's Christmas cookies
00:49:24And the bells on an open slate
00:49:26All I gotta do is shut my eyes
00:49:28And I can see those twinkling lights
00:49:30And every street line with decorations
00:49:32In my hometown tonight
00:49:34Passing strangers up to share a smile
00:49:38Lighthouses filled with joy and laughter
00:49:42As they bless the child
00:49:44It's my favorite time
00:49:46It makes my heart shine
00:49:50Christmas
00:50:00And I can't deny
00:50:02That Christmas is my favorite time of year
00:50:06It's my favorite time
00:50:08It makes my heart shine
00:50:12And I can't deny
00:50:14That Christmas is my favorite time of year
00:50:20My favorite time of year
00:50:26Merry Christmas
00:50:28Wait, Michael
00:50:30I cannot believe
00:50:32That Love Actually is one of your favorite Christmas movies
00:50:36Why not?
00:50:38I thought you were more of a
00:50:40Die Hard is a real Christmas movie kind of guy
00:50:42Die Hard is a real Christmas movie
00:50:44It's just not as sweet
00:50:46I mean, you've got your flannel shirt
00:50:48You're a woodcarver
00:50:49If I didn't know any better
00:50:50I'd think you'd own an axe
00:50:52Where do you think I'd get my Christmas tree?
00:50:54Okay, stop
00:50:56I own five acres of land
00:50:58I chop my own firewood too
00:51:00And you love sappy Christmas movies
00:51:04I mean, how can you not?
00:51:06The scene when he's escorted by her dad and her sister
00:51:08To the restaurant where she's working
00:51:10And he speaks to her
00:51:11No, no, no
00:51:12Proposes to her in Portuguese
00:51:14Having learned it just for her
00:51:26And she responds to him in broken English
00:51:28Having learned it just for him
00:51:30Just in case
00:51:32Okay, sis
00:51:37It's adorable
00:51:42What?
00:51:46It's unexpected
00:51:47Say cheese
00:52:01Cheese
00:52:02You're so good with kids
00:52:05Yeah, I really do love them
00:52:07Found you!
00:52:09I was across the street
00:52:11A cabin crew and saw your car
00:52:12So listen
00:52:13I spoke to your dad
00:52:14About how the whole
00:52:15Historical preservation thing
00:52:16Is a long shot
00:52:17But I dug up dirt on that guy
00:52:19Okay, so
00:52:20The 50 employees fired last week
00:52:22That's just the tip of the iceberg
00:52:23For this guy
00:52:24The way I see it
00:52:25Nobody likes bad PR
00:52:26Especially on social media
00:52:27So I think
00:52:28You do whatever you have to
00:52:30Dig up as much dirt as you can
00:52:31And boom!
00:52:32Pressure him into dot saline
00:52:34And nail that Mike Alonso-like you ass
00:52:36Robin, uh
00:52:37Hi
00:52:38Sorry
00:52:39Robin
00:52:40This is
00:52:41Mr. Alonso
00:52:43That guy
00:52:47Tina, I'm so sorry
00:52:48I had no idea
00:52:49Michael!
00:52:50Michael!
00:52:51Michael!
00:52:55Michael, please just
00:52:56Wait, please just
00:52:57Haley, thank Miss Tina for today
00:52:59It was very kind of her
00:53:01Thank you, Miss Tina
00:53:02Of course
00:53:03There's something going on
00:53:04Subete, cariño
00:53:09Michael, I
00:53:10You really have been playing
00:53:11Both of us, haven't you?
00:53:12No, no
00:53:13I told you
00:53:14I know what you told me
00:53:16But getting someone
00:53:17To dig up dirt on me
00:53:18That's low
00:53:21For the record
00:53:22We did
00:53:23Lay off some employees
00:53:24Because the man
00:53:25Who ran the company before
00:53:26Was dishonest
00:53:27And we didn't find out
00:53:28How dire the situation was
00:53:29Till after the purchase
00:53:31But what doesn't get written up
00:53:33By a press so eager
00:53:34To vilify me
00:53:35Is that my company
00:53:36Took a financial hit
00:53:37When we gave
00:53:38Every single employee
00:53:39A six month severance package
00:53:40That's my understanding
00:53:42That's part of the reason
00:53:43Why we had to sell
00:53:44The Alfred house
00:53:45Look, I'm so sorry
00:53:46I had no idea
00:53:47I just
00:53:48You know
00:53:49Finally starting to understand
00:53:50What you meant
00:53:51The other day
00:53:52When he said that
00:53:53Every time
00:53:54You start to trust someone
00:53:55You end up feeling
00:53:56Like a fool
00:53:57Thanks for the lesson
00:53:58I just can't approve that amount
00:54:13For bonuses, Michael
00:54:14It's my decision
00:54:16But I have a responsibility
00:54:17When was the last time
00:54:18You bought groceries
00:54:19Just yesterday
00:54:20And filled up your car
00:54:21With gas
00:54:22I know
00:54:23People are feeling it
00:54:25They're hurting
00:54:26Take it out of my salary
00:54:29Your salary?
00:54:31Yes, do it
00:54:33Please
00:54:34That's very generous
00:54:37Dennis, what do you have?
00:54:38I just got off the phone
00:54:39With Rick Campion
00:54:40About buying back
00:54:41The Alfred house
00:54:42Okay
00:54:43He's willing to talk
00:54:44But it sounds like
00:54:45It's going to cost you
00:54:46A small fortune
00:54:47Let's run the numbers
00:54:48Will do
00:54:49You're buying it back?
00:54:50I need a school for Haley
00:54:51Plus
00:54:52It's the only way
00:54:53To save that building
00:54:54Alright
00:54:55What's next on the agenda?
00:54:57Dad, you should have said
00:54:58What's next on the agenda?
00:54:59Dad, you should have said
00:55:00What's next on the agenda?
00:55:02What's next on the agenda?
00:55:04Dad, you should have seen
00:55:06The look on his face
00:55:08Like I hurt him
00:55:10I mean, I don't even know him
00:55:11That well
00:55:12And
00:55:13I already disappointed him
00:55:15He likes you, kiddo
00:55:18Of course he was disappointed
00:55:20I didn't mean to hurt him
00:55:23He just always sounded
00:55:25So ruthless on the phone
00:55:27What is it that you've always said?
00:55:30Not everything is as it seems
00:55:33I feel terrible
00:55:36It's just
00:55:39It's been so hard for me
00:55:41To trust people lately
00:55:43What happened to you was appalling
00:55:46It broke my heart
00:55:48That somebody could be so cruel
00:55:50And manipulative
00:55:51But you know
00:55:52It happened
00:55:53Now it's time to learn from it
00:55:55And move forward
00:55:56Yeah
00:55:57You're right
00:55:59I spent the last year just working
00:56:03And
00:56:04Pretending like everything is perfect
00:56:08That I actually just
00:56:10Never allowed myself to heal
00:56:14You know what I used to tell my history students?
00:56:17What?
00:56:18You have to understand where you've been
00:56:21To know where you're going
00:56:28Mmm, dad
00:56:29This is actually, um
00:56:31This is really good
00:56:32Of course they are
00:56:35Have I ever disappointed you?
00:56:37You never have
00:56:38You know I think
00:56:43You know I think
00:56:44You know what you have to do
00:56:46Come on dad
00:56:47He does not want to hear from me
00:56:53Let him see it
00:56:54In your eyes
00:56:55Okay
00:56:56Okay
00:56:57First I'm gonna finish this coffee
00:56:59Love you
00:57:00Love you
00:57:01Just the one
00:57:23Confession
00:57:26I had a preconceived notion
00:57:27Of who I thought you were
00:57:28Which was unfair
00:57:31As it turns out
00:57:32That is not who you are at all
00:57:35Then I'm very sorry
00:57:38And
00:57:39I also bring you
00:57:41A peace offering
00:57:47Cookies
00:57:48Wait
00:57:50Do I smell?
00:57:52Come in
00:57:58Right this way
00:58:01Michael, did you make cookies too?
00:58:06Where's Haley?
00:58:07She's out of friends
00:58:09I really hope that she's not mad at me
00:58:12Don't worry, I didn't tell her anything about what happened
00:58:17Um, I'm sorry
00:58:19I felt a little ambushed
00:58:20Michael
00:58:21Michael, I was just really nervous
00:58:23To let someone in again
00:58:26So it was easier just to push you away and
00:58:30Make you the villain
00:58:36I have to show you something
00:58:38Okay
00:58:40May I take your cup?
00:58:42May I take your cup?
00:58:43Sure
00:58:52I don't know if Haley meant for me to find this but
00:58:58What is that?
00:58:59It's not very complicated for her, is it?
00:59:16And it always is for us
00:59:22She's dyslexic, Haley
00:59:25Haley?
00:59:27Really? I...
00:59:28I had no idea
00:59:30We've had a pretty good idea what it was for a while
00:59:32But it was just confirmed
00:59:34Which is why she likes taking pictures
00:59:38Visuals are easier for her
00:59:39It's how she likes to communicate
00:59:42I get that
00:59:44A lot of my time has been spent trying to find a good school for her
00:59:48I've decided to start on myself
00:59:51Fund it
00:59:52One that makes a real difference for Haley and other kids like her
00:59:56One that isn't run by uninterested bureaucrats
01:00:01The villain becomes the hero
01:00:03What a plot twist
01:00:08Well now that we're here telling secrets
01:00:10I have a confession to make myself
01:00:13Okay
01:00:15The other day when Haley approached you at the store
01:00:18I could have stopped her but I didn't
01:00:19Because there's something about you
01:00:24Something beautiful, kind
01:00:29So you did use Haley to get to me, I knew it
01:00:34Why do you say we go to dinner?
01:00:36You know, let's figure this out, just the two of us
01:00:38Yes, I would like that
01:00:42My dad always says there's no time like the present
01:00:45Tonight works
01:00:47I've got just the place
01:00:49Then let's not waste any more time
01:00:50I haven't been here in a while
01:00:51I hope the food's still good
01:00:53No, it looks amazing though
01:00:56Michael, I'm gonna be honest with you
01:00:57I cannot pronounce any of it
01:00:59Don't worry, I got you
01:01:01What is that?
01:01:02What is that?
01:01:03That and your wrist?
01:01:04Oh
01:01:06Oh
01:01:07My girls
01:01:08426
01:01:10What is that?
01:01:11That and your wrist
01:01:12Oh
01:01:14Oh
01:01:16My girls
01:01:18426
01:01:20What is that?
01:01:21That and your wrist
01:01:22Oh
01:01:23Oh
01:01:24Oh
01:01:25My girls
01:01:27426
01:01:29That's a thing we do
01:01:31426 Walnut Street was our house at the University of Minnesota
01:01:36We were roommates for four years and we are still the best of friends
01:01:41And business partners
01:01:43Of course, yeah
01:01:45Our senior year thesis all wrapped up, it snowballed into an actual real business
01:01:50Thanks to the help of some teachers
01:01:53But I bet you're the one who keeps it all together
01:01:56You're like the leader
01:01:58I try
01:02:00I really do
01:02:02But it's like you and your family, right?
01:02:05Family business?
01:02:06Yeah, I guess so
01:02:08It's hard to keep it all together sometimes, you know?
01:02:13You know what my dad always says?
01:02:15He says you need to stay in the moment
01:02:21Remember the past
01:02:23Look to the future
01:02:26But always stay present
01:02:29I don't know how anyone does that in the world we live in
01:02:33No, I know, I know, I really don't
01:02:39Yeah, we should ask them
01:02:42It's definitely a first date
01:02:44Oh yeah, definitely, definitely
01:02:47And they finally found each other
01:02:49But it's a little too late
01:02:56Is it ever too late?
01:02:59No, I suppose not
01:03:00Yeah
01:03:02Maybe
01:03:04They met each other
01:03:06A long time ago
01:03:08When they were young
01:03:10But they were so present
01:03:12They knew
01:03:14And after all these years
01:03:17They're still happy
01:03:19And in love
01:03:22I like that version better
01:03:26Me too
01:03:28Actually, maybe
01:03:30They met at a Christmas gala
01:03:31Back in the 70s
01:03:32Like my parents did
01:03:34And had their first kiss
01:03:36In front of the lady in blue
01:03:38You know, I really wish
01:03:40They weren't tearing that place down
01:03:44In fact...
01:03:46What?
01:03:47No, nothing, it's another idea
01:03:49I...
01:03:51What do you think we can do?
01:03:53For the moment?
01:03:54For the moment?
01:03:55I like that
01:03:56I like that
01:03:57Woo!
01:03:58Woo!
01:04:00Woo!
01:04:01Woo!
01:04:03Woo!
01:04:05Woo!
01:04:06Woo!
01:04:08Woo!
01:04:09Woo!
01:04:11Woo!
01:04:12I'm sorry, I love this song
01:04:14Woo!
01:04:15Woo!
01:04:17My mom and my dad
01:04:18Meine Mom and my Dad used to dance to this song every Christmas Eve.
01:04:25They were so in love.
01:04:29Why don't we keep that tradition alive, then?
01:04:35Will you dance with me?
01:04:39Michael, there's no dance floor.
01:04:42We don't need a dance floor.
01:04:45Men, men, my little view.
01:04:48Okay.
01:04:58Oh, it's so cold.
01:05:01Wait, Michael, what are we doing?
01:05:05Staying present.
01:05:15If you come to a party?
01:05:18Do you want to?
01:05:21I'm gonna get you in love, then.
01:05:26No.

01:08:27E. Alonso
01:08:36Hi
01:08:38Right here
01:08:40Elizabeth Alonso
01:08:43That means she's your great aunt
01:08:47Could that be her?
01:08:52Found this in the archives
01:08:55That is her
01:08:57Michael, that is your great aunt
01:09:05Elizabeth Alonso
01:09:07This is unbelievable
01:09:09I told you, pictures are invaluable
01:09:11Full of stories and history
01:09:13Just like Haley's scrapbook
01:09:15Well, what are we waiting for?
01:09:18Let's give Robin a call
01:09:19Okay
01:09:21I'll call right now
01:09:22You guys keep searching
01:09:24Robin, did you see that?
01:09:27That is unreal
01:09:29Robin, hi
01:09:31Yeah, anything you can find about Elizabeth Alonso
01:09:35We think we found the historical angle we've been searching for
01:09:38No, she wouldn't have had ownership then
01:09:41Between 1850 and 1910
01:09:44Okay, thanks, bye
01:09:47Check this out
01:09:48According to the county register website
01:09:51Elizabeth Alonso and her husband Eduardo
01:09:54Purchased a home where they raised their five kids
01:09:57She named it the Alford House after her grandfather
01:10:00Then soon bought up nearby plants to complete the 40-acre estate
01:10:04Oh, I love that
01:10:05And look at this
01:10:06Elizabeth was known for her interior decorating and philanthropy
01:10:11The wallpaper in the main hall is set up and used to wrap Christmas gifts
01:10:16For all her family and friends
01:10:19And this part is really interesting
01:10:22It says here
01:10:22Elizabeth and her family's wish was for the Alford House to be a lasting treasure to the community
01:10:27A lasting treasure
01:10:29What does that mean?
01:10:31Let me see the deed
01:10:32This original deed
01:10:39Is five acres
01:10:41There's no amended platlines
01:10:43There could be a second deed
01:10:45That combined the properties
01:10:47I mean, that'd be a long shot
01:10:49But
01:10:49Mia, hi
01:10:55Tina
01:10:56We are about to lose catering
01:10:58Decorators, the DJ
01:10:59Everyone
01:11:00Unless we can confirm
01:11:01Okay, tell everyone to hang tight
01:11:03I think we're on to something
01:11:05Okay
01:11:06Okay
01:11:07Bye
01:11:07The closing is tomorrow
01:11:11We're at the buzzer
01:11:13We gotta go find the amended platlines
01:11:15Let's do it
01:11:17Go
01:11:17Okay
01:11:19I'll start the car
01:11:21Here you are
01:11:29If there were any legal documents filed for these plats
01:11:32They'd be in here
01:11:33Thank you, D-Tree
01:11:34Is there anything there?
01:11:42Wait, it's a quick claim
01:11:44In 1896, a year after her and her husband bought the property
01:11:49Combining the plats
01:11:51Your dad was right
01:11:53The combined property was then deeded to the county in 1910
01:11:59If this is legal, the house never belonged to my company
01:12:04We were simply the custodian
01:12:06Which means it can't be sold
01:12:07The Alford house belongs to the people of Ramsey County
01:12:13I knew the search was for more than just a Christmas party
01:12:17Wait, D-Tree
01:12:18How do we get an injunction this late on a Sunday?
01:12:21Well, little missy
01:12:22You'll need a judge
01:12:24How are we gonna find a judge this late?
01:12:27I think I have an idea
01:12:29Let's go
01:12:32Okay
01:12:34Thank you, D-Tree
01:12:36Thank you, welcome
01:12:37Okay
01:12:38Merry Christmas
01:12:42Tina, hello
01:12:54Judge Reynolds, hi
01:12:56Did we leave some gifts at the shop?
01:12:59Oh, no, no
01:13:00No, that's not why we're here
01:13:02Well, I still can't thank you enough for the fast turnaround
01:13:04Oh, of course
01:13:06Wouldn't it be a bad time to get a return on that favor?
01:13:10Don't tell me you actually got a speeding ticket
01:13:12No, no
01:13:13Not exactly
01:13:14Come on in
01:13:16Thank you
01:13:18Okay
01:13:30I believe these to be factual and irrefutable
01:13:33Alfred house was deeded to the people of Ramsey County in 1910
01:13:38Therefore, the sale to Alonso Industries in 1942 is without merit
01:13:43The house belongs to Ramsey County
01:13:47Wow
01:13:48Yes, indeed
01:13:49Do you have the paperwork?
01:13:52Oh, yes, of course, Judge Reynolds
01:13:54Merry Christmas
01:14:06Merry Christmas
01:14:07Let's go
01:14:09Yeah, I think I need at least four valets for the gala
01:14:15Yeah, they're parking at the Alfred house
01:14:17It can be tricky
01:14:18Mm-hmm
01:14:19Yeah, what is the price for that?
01:14:21Okay, great
01:14:22I'll get back to you once I talk to my business partners
01:14:24Okay, thanks so much
01:14:25Have a nice night
01:14:26Bye
01:14:27I think I'm gonna tell her
01:14:41Hayley
01:14:44How would you like for this to be your new school?
01:14:50For real?
01:14:52For real
01:14:52I think it's perfect
01:14:54Me too
01:14:56Can I go explore?
01:14:58Of course, go
01:15:00To think that all this time has belonged to my family
01:15:21That I didn't know that
01:15:21That I didn't know that
01:15:23Thank you, Tina
01:15:26No, don't thank me
01:15:27Thank your Aunt Elizabeth
01:15:29You couldn't have done it without her
01:15:31It was all meant to be
01:15:36Yeah, I guess so
01:15:37Yeah, I guess so
01:15:39What's wrong?
01:15:47Remember we read that she would use the leftover wallpaper to wrap gifts?
01:15:56I do, yeah
01:15:57I do, yeah
01:15:58Hayley, can you bring your camera and take a photo of this?
01:16:01Of the wall?
01:16:02Of the wallpaper
01:16:04Make sure you keep it in focus
01:16:07What for?
01:16:08I think I have an idea for my best wrap contest
01:16:12Oh
01:16:13Oh
01:16:14Perfect
01:16:18Did you know we make our very own wrapping paper
01:16:39Here, right here
01:16:40Really?
01:16:41Mm-hmm
01:16:41Here, let me show you
01:16:43Thank you, Hayley
01:16:49Oh, like a special edition
01:16:56Mm-hmm
01:16:57And it's definitely going to clinch my win for the gala
01:17:00And the competition
01:17:01You wait and see
01:17:02Cool
01:17:07Right?
01:17:08It's beautiful
01:17:09Hey, Hayley
01:17:13Would you like to come to the gala with me?
01:17:16I do have a plus one
01:17:18But I'm sure I can make it a plus two
01:17:21Oh my gosh
01:17:23Can we, Dad, please?
01:17:25We'd love to
01:17:27We'd love to
01:17:32Oh, thanks so much for coming
01:17:57Merry Christmas
01:17:59Oh
01:18:04Oh, Michael, Hayley
01:18:05Hi
01:18:06Tina!
01:18:07Oh
01:18:08You both look so fantastic
01:18:11Oh, look
01:18:13Stunning
01:18:14Oh, why, thank you, Michael
01:18:16I like your tie
01:18:17I thought you might like it
01:18:19You ready for the competition?
01:18:21Oh, there's no competition
01:18:23When I'm in the contest, Mr. Alonzo
01:18:25Wow, Tina
01:18:26Oh, hi
01:18:27The place looks amazing
01:18:29You ladies outdid yourselves
01:18:31Oh, thank you, Mr. Mayor
01:18:33You remember my wife, Sarah? Your competition?
01:18:36Of course, it's nice to see you again
01:18:38Lovely seeing you

01:18:48All right
01:18:49Is this thing on?
01:18:51Ladies and gentlemen
01:18:53Can I have your attention?
01:18:54On behalf of St. Paul and the Twin Cities
01:18:57Welcome to the annual Christmas Gala
01:19:00Woo!
01:19:01I hope Olivia gets here soon
01:19:03I want to thank the ladies from All Wrapped Up
01:19:05For sponsoring tonight's event
01:19:07Now, as most of you know, we have a tradition each year
01:19:14A competition, if you will
01:19:16So for those of you participating
01:19:18Bring your rapping skills forward
01:19:20And let the games begin
01:19:21All right, folks
01:19:25Our first event
01:19:27Best Rap
01:19:28Here are the rules, folks
01:19:30Contestants will have five minutes to create the gift wrap
01:19:33They will be judged on originality, beauty, and overall quality of the wrapping itself
01:19:38All of the contestants have been allowed to bring their own wrapping paper, tape, and tools
01:19:43So, are we ready?
01:19:45All right
01:19:46On your mark
01:19:48Get set
01:19:49Go
01:19:51Interesting, interesting
01:19:54Tina Mitchell is using the inside-out surgical technique
01:19:59Well, Mary Anderberg is employing the double wrap
01:20:02Not bad
01:20:03And, oh
01:20:04Look at that
01:20:05Very nice
01:20:06Sarah Batts
01:20:07Is pulling into the lead, I think
01:20:09You're just saying that because she's your wife
01:20:11Very true
01:20:13Oh, it looks like our three-time reigning champ has pulled into the lead
01:20:18Christy Johnson
01:20:19That is truly unique
01:20:20I think this could be Ms. Johnson's to lose
01:20:2330 seconds to go
01:20:25Oh no, an unfortunate tear, Sarah Batts
01:20:27And it looks like Mary Anderberg is making a late break
01:20:31Time
01:20:32Ladies and gentlemen, four beautiful designs
01:20:34But I think
01:20:35I think we have a clear winner
01:20:40Tina Mitchell, four-time champion
01:20:46All right folks, that was a lot of fun
01:20:48All right, everyone
01:20:49Next competition is starting in just a few minutes
01:20:58Amazing
01:21:01No, no, no, here she is
01:21:02Use us
01:21:03Use us
01:21:04Use us
01:21:05You made it
01:21:06Oh my goodness, you have no idea
01:21:11Are you okay?
01:21:12We have a lot to talk about
01:21:14I think we all do
01:21:16I see the Christmas
01:21:18Star in the sky
01:21:19Santa's reindeer
01:21:20I'm ready to fly every child
01:21:22Believing
01:21:23Wishes can all come true
01:21:25Everyone's laughing and dancing
01:21:27The mistletoe's hung for romancing
01:21:39There's no better place in the world to be
01:21:43Than here at home with you
01:21:46So let's light up, light up
01:21:50Watch the snow
01:21:51The woman of the out
01:21:52Congratulations again
01:21:55Thank you, Michael
01:21:57Thank you for everything
01:22:01You know, I was actually just thinking of coincidences
01:22:06Oh, okay
01:22:07I looked up the word, the exact definition
01:22:12A remarkable concurrence of circumstances or events
01:22:17Without an apparent causal connection
01:22:20Haley saw you the other day
01:22:23To entrap me
01:22:24Yes
01:22:25Yes
01:22:26Yes
01:22:27And it all led to this
01:22:29Me discovering my great, great aunt
01:22:33Discovering this terrific place
01:22:36That'll soon be a wonderful school for my daughter
01:22:43And discovering you
01:22:46And all I really want for Christmas is
01:22:53To give you this
01:22:56Michael, the scarf
01:22:59It was picked up by this incredibly talented
01:23:06Wonderfully special woman
01:23:09Just in cases
01:23:11Feliz Navidad, Miss Tina
01:23:12Merry Christmas, Michael
