00:00:27Happy Thanksgiving!
00:00:29Whoo-hoo-hoo!
00:00:31Oh!
00:00:32Whoo-hoo!
00:00:34Whoo!
00:00:35That's it!
00:00:36Whoo!
00:00:38It's time to rip!
00:00:52Let's ride up to these doors!
00:00:54Whoo!
00:00:55Whoo!
00:00:57Let's ride!
00:00:59Join the triumph of the sky!
00:01:01Whoo-hoo-hoo!
00:01:03There we go!
00:01:05That's enough for you?
00:01:07Whoo-hoo-hoo-hoo!
00:01:09Hark the herald angels sing!
00:01:13Glory to the newborn King!
00:01:19Jess, where's the fire?
00:01:21Too quick for you?
00:01:23No.
00:01:25But I am in no rush to get back to Thanksgiving craziness.
00:01:30Yeah, I'll second that.
00:01:32I have everything that I'm thankful for right here.
00:01:38I do not peg you for an expert snowmobiler.
00:01:41Wait till you see me on skis, with snowshoes, and I can build a pretty mean snowman.
00:01:47How did I not know that about you?
00:01:49You know, a true lady always preserves an air of mystery.
00:01:52Too late for that.
00:01:54I already know how amazing you are.
00:01:56Come on.
00:01:58You're sticking to the trails this time.
00:02:01Oh, come on, Buck Thompson.
00:02:03Take off your ranger hat for a minute.
00:02:05You're off duty.
00:02:09Spectacular, right?
00:02:11Definitely.
00:02:12I love this.
00:02:13The temperature drops.
00:02:16Stalactites aggregate in beautiful crystal formation.
00:02:20I'll be studying the physical underlying structure of this land.
00:02:24Hmm.
00:02:25Geology rocks.
00:02:27Geology puns.
00:02:30We've been having a lot of fun, Jess, these last few months, but...
00:02:34that was rock bottom.
00:02:37Although getting to know you just made me want to be bolder.
00:02:40Oh, I'm impressed with that one.
00:02:45It really is beautiful.
00:02:47Every time I take a deep breath and my lungs freeze, I respect how dangerous it is out here.
00:02:53Well, you should probably get back.
00:02:56Your mom is never going to warm up to me if we're late for Thanksgiving.
00:03:01Mom is gonna warm up to you.
00:03:04Store-bought apple pie notwithstanding, everyone knows it's pumpkin pie at Thanksgiving.
00:03:09I don't.
00:03:10I don't know these things.
00:03:12Are your big city Thanksgiving's too posh for past?
00:03:15No.
00:03:16No, it's not.
00:03:18My family is just a little less traditional.
00:03:23Mom's just been hard to connect to ever since Dad died.
00:03:27She's even more protective of her traditions.
00:03:30Well, you're still really lucky to have such a tight-knit family.
00:03:33I'm just not really sure how I fit in.
00:03:38You've been pretty good so far.
00:03:40Really?
00:03:41Mm-hmm.
00:03:43Once they get to know you like I do, they're gonna love you.
00:03:46Do you want to maybe spend Christmas together?
00:03:51We can go somewhere, just the two of us?
00:03:54Spend a few hours by her place?
00:03:57Yeah.
00:03:59My uncle's got a cabin near Howlers Bay.
00:04:03Maybe.
00:04:05We will see.
00:04:07I mean, we don't have to spend Christmas together if you don't want to.
00:04:09In my line of work, I can't make plans.
00:04:13Accidents, natural disasters, they don't really happen on the schedule.
00:04:18I just don't want to let you down.
00:04:21I'm crazy about you.
00:04:24And I am lucky to spend any day with you.
00:04:27Christmas or not.
00:04:31Okay.
00:04:33Okay.
00:04:40Hey, Mom.
00:04:43Hey.
00:04:45Ooh.
00:04:46These are for you.
00:04:47Oh, honey, these are beautiful.
00:04:50Beautiful.
00:04:51I thought maybe you could, um, put them on the table in memory of Dad.
00:04:55Aw, that's really thoughtful of you.
00:04:58Thanks.
00:04:59Of course.
00:05:00Okay, let me have it.
00:05:01What's the plan for this year?
00:05:02Oh, well, you get to guess.
00:05:04Okay, um, small to large.
00:05:07Nope.
00:05:08Um, shiny?
00:05:09Nope.
00:05:10Well, a little.
00:05:11Uh, antique?
00:05:12Nope.
00:05:13Vintage?
00:05:14Nope.
00:05:15Okay, I'll tell you.
00:05:16In honor of my Scottish heritage, I thought we'd go with plaid chic.
00:05:22I love it.
00:05:24It's genius, Mom.
00:05:25Took me a while to paint all of these, but...
00:05:28Hang on, you hand painted these?
00:05:29I did.
00:05:30Of course you did.
00:05:31I know.
00:05:32I have nothing else to do.
00:05:33Decorate.
00:05:34They look great.
00:05:36I'm really happy you're here helping me with this.
00:05:38Gosh, it's too bad you have to work the holiday shift today.
00:05:42I know.
00:05:43I'm sorry.
00:05:44It's just, it's my turn.
00:05:46You know who's gonna eat everything in sight?
00:05:49Mmm, yeah.
00:05:52Buck?
00:05:53Yes?
00:05:54Can you just put a plate aside for me?
00:05:55I will.
00:05:56Oh, good idea.
00:05:57I will.
00:05:59Okay.
00:06:00It's a stepladder.
00:06:01Party looks great.
00:06:02It does.
00:06:13Hey.
00:06:14Aunt Janine says dinner's up in 10.
00:06:16Last one there is a rotten eggnog.
00:06:18Yeah.
00:06:19You smell like pyrite.
00:06:21What?
00:06:22It's a rock.
00:06:23Smells like sulfur.
00:06:24I like the joke.
00:06:25You know what?
00:06:26I'm walking.
00:06:27Well, I am walking too.
00:06:28Well, then you're gonna be rotten eggnog.
00:06:29I'm glad to be with you.
00:06:30We will find some time for us.
00:06:31Just you and me.
00:06:32I promise.
00:06:33Maybe we can go for a walk after dinner.
00:06:34It's the Leonoid meteor shower tonight.
00:06:36Mm-hmm.
00:06:37It should be pretty spectacular.
00:06:38It's a date.
00:06:39Okay.
00:06:40Okay.
00:06:41Okay.
00:06:42It's a date.
00:06:43Okay.
00:06:44They come on with the basket.
00:06:45They come on with the basket!
00:06:47They come on with the basket!
00:06:48They come on with the basket!
00:06:49I promise.
00:06:50Maybe we can go for a walk after dinner.
00:06:51It's the Leonoid meteor shower tonight.
00:06:57Mm-hmm!
00:06:58Should be pretty spectacular.
00:07:00It's a date.
00:07:01Okay.
00:07:03Okay.
00:07:08Come on!
00:07:13so that's what the thompson family sounds like
00:07:36come on jess take it away
00:07:38me this looks incredible oh thank you it was nothing um she has been preparing for weeks
00:08:03Everything on this table has been grown,
00:08:06gathered, and hunted by Aunt Janine.
00:08:08Really?
00:08:09And what can I say?
00:08:11My family deserves the best.
00:08:14Well, every dish smells amazing.
00:08:18You did really well this summer with the gardens.
00:08:21Finally, we were able to pick more than the wildlife could eat.
00:08:25What does your family like to make for Thanksgiving?
00:08:28Oh, nothing nearly as impressive as this.
00:08:32If you think this is impressive, wait to see what she does at Christmas.
00:08:36Surely Jessica's parents will want to see her at Christmas.
00:08:40Well, actually, my family has never been big on celebrating commercial holidays.
00:08:47The town is honoring my dad with the Christmas Eve service this year.
00:08:51Candlelight Christmas Eve service.
00:08:53I just want to say how special it is to have my family here with me.
00:09:00It's another Thanksgiving without Walter.
00:09:04But as I look into each of your eyes, and of course Roma,
00:09:09I can really feel that he is here with us.
00:09:13So...
00:09:14Sorry, Ma.
00:09:18No worries. Everything okay?
00:09:21It's Avalon County. It's an emergency.
00:09:23It's here.
00:09:30Wayne Rangers to Avalon?
00:09:32Buck?
00:09:32If you can hear me...
00:09:34This is Buck Thompson. Go ahead.
00:09:36It's Meg Rogers up in Avalon Pass.
00:09:39Meg.
00:09:40It's a long time.
00:09:42What's going on?
00:09:43Level 2 avalanche.
00:09:44I've got skiers trapped somewhere out there.
00:09:48Current weather?
00:09:49Visibility is low. Storm is pressing in.
00:09:51My team is stretched thin.
00:09:53We could really use your expertise.
00:09:55I'm on my way. Over.
00:09:57I'm trying to do something different.
00:09:58Oh, really?
00:09:59Avalon's at a level 2.
00:10:01I'm sorry, but I have to go.
00:10:03What's a level 2?
00:10:04It's an avalanche.
00:10:05I'll call Roma. Get her ready?
00:10:07Not yet.
00:10:08Let me assess on the ground what rescue efforts they need
00:10:10and if they need air support.
00:10:12Meg and I have worked together before.
00:10:13We've got a short end.
00:10:14I'm going to need you to cover for me while I'm away.
00:10:17Meg.
00:10:21Who's Meg?
00:10:23Um, let me pack you some food.
00:10:25Uh, no time.
00:10:26Duty calls.
00:10:26Well, honey, you need to eat something.
00:10:29The one who taught me to live a life in service of others.
00:10:33Thanksgiving.
00:10:35Me too.
00:10:37Excuse me.
00:10:41This is Buck Thompson.
00:10:42I need my plane ready to go now to the anchor.
00:10:45Do you think there'll be more avalanches?
00:10:49It's always a possibility.
00:10:50You'll be safe in your plane, though, right?
00:10:52This isn't my first avalanche.
00:10:54I know.
00:10:55Just on a scale of 1 to 10, how dangerous is it?
00:10:58I don't know.
00:10:59Best case scenario, I'll be back in a few hours.
00:11:03Worst case?
00:11:04There's never been a worst case scenario that I've been able to get myself out of.
00:11:07I don't intend to.
00:11:08But...
00:11:09Jess, rescue services is the life I've chosen.
00:11:11Listen, you're my girlfriend.
00:11:14I need you to understand.
00:11:19I have to go.
00:11:21Wait!
00:11:28Take this.
00:11:29A geologist with a lucky rock.
00:11:37What's it mean?
00:11:39It's a meteorite.
00:11:41That little hunk of rock is what started my fascination with geology.
00:11:46And yes, it's my lucky rock.
00:11:48Be safe.
00:11:52Come back to me.
00:11:57I will.
00:11:58So, where was I?
00:12:11Um, cheers.
00:12:14To us ladies, to lost loves.
00:12:18Happy holidays.
00:12:22Dig in.
00:12:23Please.
00:12:24Please.
00:12:24Please.
00:12:24Please.
00:12:24Please.
00:12:24Please.
00:12:24Please.
00:12:26Please.
00:12:28Don't worry.
00:12:52Buck is an excellent pilot.
00:12:54With years of experience with search and rescue under his belt.
00:12:58I know.
00:13:00It's just hard to turn the worry off.
00:13:01You'll learn to live with it.
00:13:03Pass the potatoes.
00:13:04Sure.
00:13:07And don't worry about Buck.
00:13:08If he's with Meg, he has absolutely nothing to worry about.
00:13:13Who-who is Meg?
00:13:14Did they serve together, or...?
00:13:16No, Meg and Roma served together in Afghanistan, and Buck and Meg were co-pilots in the Avalon Pass.
00:13:25Carrots.
00:13:26Yes.
00:13:26Co-pilots?
00:13:28Yeah.
00:13:29Beats?
00:13:32Sure.
00:13:33The Buck Thompson.
00:13:48Ted.
00:13:49Hey.
00:13:50Didn't realize Meg was calling in the big guns.
00:13:52Oh, man.
00:13:53It's been too long.
00:13:54It's good to see you.
00:13:54Likewise, brother.
00:13:55I only wish it was under better circumstances, you know?
00:13:58Have the dogs stand by.
00:14:00There he is.
00:14:01I knew I could count on you.
00:14:03We'll get up and ready to go.
00:14:04That's why you're the best.
00:14:06The skiers are experienced.
00:14:07They have a transceiver, but we haven't located the signal yet.
00:14:10If they've been pushed off the trail, they could be anywhere down here.
00:14:13Hopefully nowhere near that clear.
00:14:14The amount of snowfall and debris?
00:14:16It'd be buried deep.
00:14:18Exactly.
00:14:19I'll need you to fly as low as you can.
00:14:21I'll be your eyes and ears out there.
00:14:22Let's go!
00:14:23Do you want me to start hanging these?
00:14:39Yes, please.
00:14:41And this is our Christmas countdown cookie counter.
00:14:45Christmas can officially begin.
00:14:48Is that like an advent calendar?
00:14:50Sort of.
00:14:50But you roll the days back until Christmas and have a cookie for each day.
00:14:55Because, well, cookies.
00:14:57Well, I think that's a really cute tradition.
00:15:01This is such a beautiful tree.
00:15:03It smells so fresh, like you just took it out of the forest.
00:15:08Never from the forest.
00:15:10From Dana at the tree farm.
00:15:12You know what could be good?
00:15:15If you talked with Aunt Janine about working the Thompson tree detail.
00:15:20Yeah, sure.
00:15:21I would love to.
00:15:23What is the Thompson tree detail?
00:15:26It's an old forest ranger tradition.
00:15:29She heads it up.
00:15:30I think you'd like it.
00:15:33Yeah, I'd love to.
00:15:34Steady, Ted.
00:15:44Come in steady, Teddy.
00:15:47Ain't nobody calling me that anymore, Buck.
00:15:49Well, they should.
00:15:51You earned it.
00:15:53Thanks for guiding us through the peaks, buddy.
00:15:54Hey, man, it's awesome to have you back on the team.
00:15:56We should, uh, we should catch up later.
00:15:58No, I better get back.
00:16:02Not tonight, you're not.
00:16:04You just completed a high-stress search and rescue.
00:16:07You need to take a break.
00:16:11Okay, okay.
00:16:13I guess I'm gonna see you at the mess hall.
00:16:15Over and out.
00:16:16Copy that.
00:16:21Hey, Buck.
00:16:23Would you consider staying longer?
00:16:25No, I can't.
00:16:29Really.
00:16:30I'm in for a rough winter.
00:16:33They're forecasting record snowfall,
00:16:36and I'm seriously shorthanded.
00:16:39We need avalanche control,
00:16:40and we need to start blasting now.
00:16:42And quite frankly,
00:16:44there's no one east of the Rockies
00:16:45that has your skills.
00:16:47Please.
00:16:51Please, please.
00:16:53Fine.
00:16:54I'll stay for a bit.
00:16:58Good.
00:17:04Hey, can you give me a minute?
00:17:05I'm just gonna call home,
00:17:06and I know I'm staying home.
00:17:08Okay.
00:17:09I'll get you some punch.
00:17:17Buck!
00:17:18Josh.
00:17:19Hey.
00:17:20Hey, Buck.
00:17:21Hey, can you hear me?
00:17:24Jess?
00:17:26Jess, the reception's bad.
00:17:28If you can hear me,
00:17:30the rescue went well.
00:17:31The skiers are safe.
00:17:33But, uh,
00:17:34I'm not gonna be flying home tonight.
00:17:36You're flying home tonight?
00:17:37That's great.
00:17:39No, I'm staying.
00:17:41For a few days, actually.
00:17:43A few days?
00:17:46Yeah, Meg needs help
00:17:47with the avalanche control.
00:17:49All this early snow is wreaking havoc.
00:17:51Oh.
00:17:53Okay, well, uh...
00:17:55You know what?
00:17:56We can, um,
00:17:57we can decorate our Christmas tree
00:17:58on the weekend.
00:18:00I'm not really sure
00:18:01how long the blasting's gonna take.
00:18:04Blasting?
00:18:04Isn't that kind of dangerous?
00:18:08Buck!
00:18:09Come on!
00:18:09Friends are waiting!
00:18:12Look, I don't want to
00:18:13keep you from your work.
00:18:15Sorry, what?
00:18:16Look, Jess.
00:18:18We're gonna decorate the tree
00:18:19next week
00:18:20or the week after.
00:18:23I miss you.
00:18:25Me too.
00:18:27I know.
00:18:29Duty calls.
00:18:29Look,
00:18:32I'm really sorry about this.
00:18:34I didn't...
00:18:35Jess...
00:18:38Hello?
00:18:40Buck?
00:18:47There he is.
00:18:49The man of the hour
00:18:50trying to hide.
00:18:51Get in here.
00:18:53Introducing your local hero,
00:18:55Buck Thompson, huh?
00:18:56Woo!
00:18:59You all did great today.
00:19:02To you.
00:19:03Cheers!
00:19:12Hey.
00:19:12Hey.
00:19:13Is Buck okay?
00:19:14Did he find those skiers?
00:19:15Yeah.
00:19:16Everyone's safe.
00:19:17Here, let me.
00:19:20That's great.
00:19:21Well, he must be starving
00:19:22when he gets back,
00:19:23so Aunt Janine
00:19:24has his plate over there.
00:19:25Oh, he's, um...
00:19:26He's actually not gonna be home
00:19:28for a couple of days.
00:19:29Uh, Meg needed him at Avalon.
00:19:31Must be serious, then.
00:19:33Yeah.
00:19:34Yeah, I'm sure.
00:19:38So, I'm gonna get back to that.
00:19:40Yeah, please.
00:19:42Oh, buddy.
00:19:44You just saved two lives, man.
00:19:45Don't look so damn.
00:19:46Is everything okay at home?
00:19:48Girlfriend's disappointed
00:19:49I'm staying on.
00:19:50It's our first Thanksgiving.
00:19:52What, you're not home
00:19:53to hang some decorations together?
00:19:55Rescue services, man.
00:19:56It's unpredictable.
00:19:57It's hard to find people
00:19:59that, uh, understand
00:20:00the stress and demands, right?
00:20:01Come on.
00:20:02Let's play.
00:20:04Don't worry.
00:20:04I'm gonna let you win this time.
00:20:06Because I feel bad for you.
00:20:07That's what he says every time.
00:20:09Uh-huh.
00:20:09Come on, darling
00:20:22Tell me what's on your mind
00:20:27Tell me if it's the same
00:20:31Is what's been playing on mine
00:20:35Bye, everybody.
00:20:44Bye, everybody.
00:20:44I'm gonna let you win this time.
00:20:46I'm gonna let you win this time.
00:20:47Everything that you believed
00:20:51If we hold on tight
00:20:54So I'm gonna risk it all
00:21:01I don't care if I fall
00:21:06Cause I'd rather not live at all
00:21:11Never knowing if it's love
00:21:14Good morning, Rangers.
00:21:26It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas.
00:21:29Only 25 days left to go.
00:21:33Soon.
00:21:33Okay, now.
00:21:37Right.
00:21:38A huge amount of early snow
00:21:39Plus warm weather
00:21:40Gives us a weak layer
00:21:41On the snow blanket.
00:21:42Yeah.
00:21:43Weak snowpack
00:21:43On the steep eastern slopes
00:21:45It's a double whammy.
00:21:46Right.
00:21:47We use digital detonators now, though
00:21:48So it's more controlled.
00:21:49And a lot safer.
00:21:51Mm-hmm.
00:21:52Let's plan out the charges.
00:21:54Alright, so I'm thinking
00:21:55We start here
00:21:56And then we go
00:21:57Yeah, and then we'll just wipe them
00:21:59Exactly.
00:22:05Okay.
00:22:05So then Josh and I have to go to a stepmom's
00:22:29For second Christmas dinner
00:22:30On the 25th
00:22:31And then we have to go to my dad's
00:22:33For brunch on the 26th.
00:22:34So...
00:22:35Hey
00:22:38Are you even listening
00:22:40To my holiday crappiness?
00:22:41Yeah
00:22:42It sounds like a lot of food.
00:22:45Maybe you just need to remind Buck
00:22:47What he's missing
00:22:47Hey
00:22:49Why don't you take a pic
00:22:51With this little gem?
00:22:53Oh
00:22:53Hey
00:22:54All right
00:23:01All right
00:23:02What did you do to her this time?
00:23:29I just replaced the pump.
00:23:31Still can't seem to get her to go, though.
00:23:33I haven't looked at her yet.
00:23:36Yeah, you give it a go.
00:23:42You know, Buck, I, uh, I heard you've been having some trouble after you came home because
00:23:50of the, uh, because of the dogs.
00:23:56It's tough to get Afghanistan in my head and still jolted away some nights.
00:24:01Cold sweats.
00:24:05Yeah, man, me too.
00:24:08Me too.
00:24:08You know, I never told anyone what I see in my nightmares.
00:24:21And even my own wife.
00:24:27She already has a pretty good idea.
00:24:33Since I started to talk to somebody, it helps.
00:24:38It's still there, but less.
00:24:41I'll shoot you the number?
00:24:45Yeah.
00:24:48Yeah, that's what'd be good, man.
00:24:53So what do you think?
00:24:57Did you do to her?
00:24:58Let's see you work your magic, bucko.
00:25:01This is Buck Thompson.
00:25:21I'm up in snow country, and I can't say when I'll get back to my phone.
00:25:24I'll leave a message.
00:25:39Okay, here we go.
00:25:43The info on the guy's injuries?
00:25:45Upper body.
00:25:45Maybe a broken collarbone.
00:25:47It's going to be difficult to transport.
00:25:48Search and rescue and move them to a clearing up ahead.
00:25:55Okay.
00:26:18It's not here, right?
00:26:19Yeah.
00:26:19It won't be long now.
00:26:24Till I'm beside you again
00:26:27It won't be long now
00:26:30I still remember
00:26:35Smile upon your face
00:26:40I still remember
00:26:41I hear the bells are ringing
00:26:48I hear the choir singing
00:26:51The stars, they guide the way
00:26:55I see the snow is falling
00:27:00I hear my heart is crying
00:27:03Calling out your name
00:27:07Does Wayne Forrest need you that badly?
00:27:11Meg, I agreed to a few days. It's been a few weeks.
00:27:14And I am so grateful.
00:27:17But if you ever need a change of pace,
00:27:19maybe consider transferring up here for a season
00:27:21It's an enticing offer, but...
00:27:24You can't blame me for asking
00:27:25Look, we make a good team
00:27:28We're good together
00:27:30Yeah, we are
00:27:32But I've got to get home
00:27:33I've got to make sure I've got time
00:27:36to fuel up and beat the storm
00:27:38You're not fueled up?
00:27:41The storm last night blocked all access
00:27:43to the road on the north side
00:27:45Cars and fuel aren't getting in or out
00:27:48I'm sorry, Buck
00:27:50Looks like you're going to be grounded here a few more days
00:27:53Hey, Meg, are you coming?
00:27:58Yeah
00:27:58Hey, you
00:28:18Hey
00:28:19I was just going to call and tell you that I...
00:28:21Jess, there was a storm last night
00:28:24The northern road to Avalon is blocked
00:28:26Oh
00:28:27Well, if it's that bad, it sounds like your plane is grounded, too
00:28:32Problems with fuel trucks
00:28:33We can't get through, so I can't start back until they clear out
00:28:37Okay, no worries
00:28:39I'll just see you when I see you
00:28:42Okay
00:28:43Did you hear me when I said I can't make it?
00:28:47I did, I heard you
00:28:48I just...
00:28:49I'm not surprised
00:28:50I know the weather's bad
00:28:52And your work
00:28:53The realities of our life together
00:28:56And I am making peace of that
00:28:59New Year's then
00:29:00So you're completely snowed in?
00:29:04Not completely
00:29:05The northern road is blocked
00:29:07The other roads are bad, but...
00:29:09They're plowing them now
00:29:11If I had my truck, I'd be there in a heartbeat
00:29:13Well, you may not have a vehicle, but I do
00:29:18Oh, yeah?
00:29:21I'm coming to you
00:29:22Jess
00:29:24Jess, that's nuts
00:29:26The weather's horrible
00:29:28The roads are bad
00:29:30There's black ice
00:29:31Accidents happen fast
00:29:33And this temperature, it's brutal
00:29:34I can handle winter
00:29:36Snow shovel, bag of sand
00:29:38Warming candle, blankets
00:29:40I got it covered
00:29:41How about I grab a snowmobile?
00:29:46Come meet you halfway
00:29:47What do you say?
00:29:50Howler's Bay?
00:29:51Howler's Bay?
00:29:52That's right by your uncle's cabin
00:29:53That's the one
00:29:55I'll send you the coordinates
00:29:57It's perfect
00:29:58Although, we don't really have a very good history with cabins, do we?
00:30:02Yeah
00:30:03It's a good thing bears are hibernating this time of year
00:30:06Although the weather can be just as dangerous as the bears
00:30:09Well, I'll get a good night's sleep and leave for seeing in the morning
00:30:11I'll kiss you soon
00:30:13And Jess
00:30:15Be careful
00:30:17I will
00:30:18Hag, are you sure you want to come?
00:30:48Look, no one knows these backwoods like I do.
00:30:52Plus, my shortcuts will get you to Howler's Bay in half the time.
00:30:56It's Christmas Eve.
00:30:57You should be at home.
00:31:00I don't have anyone waiting for me.
00:31:02Let me help.
00:31:04I'm the reason that you've been here for so long.
00:31:07Plus, it'll be good to just ride for fun, like we used to.
00:31:16Don't expect me to go easy on you.
00:31:18It's like that, is it?
00:31:19Mm-hmm.
00:31:26Let's try and keep up.
00:31:38Merry Christmas Eve day, Rangers.
00:31:41I hope your day is as merry and sugary sweet as these cookies.
00:31:45Come and get them.
00:31:46Come and get them.
00:31:47Come and get them.
00:31:48Come and get them.
00:31:49Come and let us adore him.
00:31:52Christ the Lord.
00:32:03Hi.
00:32:04Oh, hi.
00:32:09May I help you?
00:32:10Thank you so much for offering to dog sit.
00:32:13No problem.
00:32:14It'll be fine.
00:32:16No, thank you.
00:32:19How do I get him to stop staring at me like that?
00:32:22Oh, that's just how he shows affection.
00:32:25He likes you.
00:32:25Oh.
00:32:26Oh.
00:32:26Oh.
00:32:26Oh.
00:32:27Hmm.
00:32:28Cute.
00:32:29Um, hi.
00:32:31Here's a nice pat for you.
00:32:36Yeah, I'll be honest.
00:32:37I'm more of a cat person.
00:32:39Because we, you know, mutually respect each other's independence.
00:32:42Oh.
00:32:43But family helps one another out.
00:32:45So.
00:32:47You consider me a part of your family?
00:32:48Look, um, I know loving someone who's devoted their entire life to the service isn't easy.
00:33:00I'm just not really sure he even wants a relationship.
00:33:05He struggles to commit to the tiniest things.
00:33:08Try not to blame him for that.
00:33:10It's the job.
00:33:11I know.
00:33:15Hmm.
00:33:16See?
00:33:17You're more of a Thompson than you realize.
00:33:22This is for you.
00:33:31Compass?
00:33:32It was my dad's.
00:33:35It's for good luck on a long trip.
00:33:38Oh, I don't want to take something so personal.
00:33:40No, I...
00:33:41Please, I want you to have it.
00:33:44Just bring it and Buck back to us for Christmas.
00:33:48I will.
00:33:49And I'll make sure we get back for Walter's candlelight service.
00:33:53Okay, you be a good boy for Roma, okay?
00:33:55Okay?
00:33:57Mm-hmm.
00:33:58Mm-hmm.
00:34:00Oh.
00:34:05Oh.
00:34:08Oh, you gotta smell.
00:34:11We're gonna take a shortcut.
00:34:21You want to go south?
00:34:23Just trust me.
00:34:24Make sure you stay on my tracks.
00:34:26Okay.
00:34:26Come on.
00:34:47Bye.
00:34:49Bye.
00:34:52Bye.
00:34:53Bye.
00:34:54Bye.
00:34:54Hey, how's the Thompson tree detail this morning?
00:35:10Any suspicious behavior?
00:35:12Nothing suspicious, only delicious.
00:35:16Jessica dropped these off this morning on her way to go meet Buck.
00:35:19Oh, she really went to meet him.
00:35:21Must be real feelings there.
00:35:22She also promised to have him back for Uncle Walt's candlelight service.
00:35:28Cookie?
00:35:30To have the metabolism of a 27-year-old again.
00:35:33We've got to stay alert for last-minute shoppers today.
00:35:36Definitely.
00:35:38It's still pretty early, though, if you want your morning coffee.
00:35:40Well, I'm good to start watch, thanks.
00:35:46Aunt Janine, is there a reason you didn't let Jess help with the detail?
00:35:51And I quote, we have it covered this year.
00:35:56It's a Thompson family tradition, that's all.
00:35:59She makes Buck happy.
00:36:01I know you see that.
00:36:02Roma and I see that.
00:36:03She might be part of your family one day.
00:36:06When Walt left, he entrusted the detail to me.
00:36:09He felt it was important that people respect the trees in our state forest.
00:36:14Now I'm in charge of protecting those trees.
00:36:19Okay.
00:36:19And by not inviting her to the family tradition,
00:36:22you're just trying to protect the forest, right?
00:36:27Not Buck?
00:36:36Hey!
00:36:37Too many rocks.
00:36:42It's too dangerous.
00:36:43Let's head back to the trail.
00:36:45Come on!
00:36:46We've driven through much worse before.
00:36:48Let's keep going.
00:36:49We're almost at the pass, and now we're not much farther from there.
00:36:52I've seen too much.
00:36:53Let's go.
00:36:55Come on.
00:36:56Okay.
00:36:56Hey!
00:36:57Hey!
00:36:57Hey!
00:36:57Hey!
00:36:57Hey!
00:36:59Hey!
00:36:59Hey!
00:37:00Hey!
00:37:00Hey!
00:37:01Hey!
00:37:01Hey!
00:37:02Hey!
00:37:02Hey!
00:37:03Hey!
00:37:03Hey!
00:37:04Hey!
00:37:04Hey!
00:37:05Hey!
00:37:05Hey!
00:37:06Hey!
00:37:06Hey!
00:37:07Hey!
00:37:07Hey!
00:37:28Okay.
00:37:28Enough.
00:37:29With the staring.
00:37:31You-You like me.
00:37:32I get that.
00:37:33That's great.
00:37:34But enough.
00:37:36At ease, boy.
00:37:42Eyes front.
00:37:51Fine.
00:37:52Don't listen to my commands.
00:37:54I don't care.
00:37:56Hey, I was using that!
00:37:58No, just the back door, right?
00:38:03You okay?
00:38:05Shh.
00:38:07Let's get you up.
00:38:19I should've seen that log.
00:38:21It's okay, it's not your fault.
00:38:23That log came out of nowhere.
00:38:25Well, at least we're close to the cabin.
00:38:37Yeah.
00:38:39But what about your shoulder?
00:38:43You're not wincing for nothing.
00:38:45Uh-huh.
00:38:46You don't miss a thing.
00:38:47Nope.
00:38:51Do me a favor.
00:38:53Let me tell Ted about his machine.
00:38:55Oh, but it'd be so much more fun if I could tell him.
00:38:58Beg.
00:38:59This whole thing?
00:39:01He won't care.
00:39:03His wife's getting him a new one for Christmas.
00:39:16Buck, it's okay.
00:39:17It's okay.
00:39:18You're safe.
00:39:19Come back to me.
00:39:20Okay.
00:39:21I think it's time to go home.
00:39:22Okay.
00:39:23We'll get you there.
00:39:24But...
00:39:25let's just take a little break first, okay?
00:39:26Uh...
00:39:27I'll make us a fire,
00:39:28we can have some coffee,
00:39:29and then, and then we'll keep going.
00:39:31Sounds good.
00:39:32How about that storm?
00:39:33It's not supposed to hit until later tonight.
00:39:36I'll get after we're both back home.
00:39:38Okay.
00:39:39I'll get you there.
00:39:40Okay.
00:39:41We'll get you there.
00:39:42But...
00:39:43Let's just take a little break first, okay?
00:39:44Uh...
00:39:45I'll make us a fire,
00:39:46we can have some coffee,
00:39:47and then, and then we'll keep going.
00:39:48Sounds good.
00:39:50What about that storm?
00:39:52It's not supposed to hit until later tonight.
00:39:57Long after we're both back home.
00:40:01What?
00:40:27All right.
00:40:30What?
00:40:32All right.
00:40:45I won't sleep someday.
00:40:46I wouldn't have seen it right now.
00:40:48I wasn't as New任us.
00:40:51Not released.
00:40:53No 24 hours.
00:41:55No.
00:41:56No.
00:41:57No.
00:41:58No.
00:41:59No.
00:42:00No.
00:42:01No.
00:42:02No.
00:42:03No.
00:42:04No.
00:42:05No.
00:42:06No.
00:42:08No.
00:42:10No.
00:42:11No.
00:42:12No.
00:42:13No.
00:42:14No.
00:42:15No.

00:42:26No.
00:42:27No.
00:42:28No.
00:42:29No.
00:42:30No.
00:42:31Oh, good morning.
00:42:57Good morning.
00:42:59My, uh, my vehicle got stuck with all this snow.
00:43:03Do you think you could help me out?
00:43:05My, uh, truck won't be ready for a couple of hours.
00:43:08I'm getting it ready for the Christmas parade in town.
00:43:14Sorry I don't have another vehicle to offer you.
00:43:19I got some beautiful dogs.
00:43:21Yep, the best.
00:43:24Fast as anything.
00:43:26Yeah, I can see that.
00:43:27Every winter I spend a few weeks with my aunt and uncle up in Alaska.
00:43:32They have about 50 dogs.
00:43:34They train them.
00:43:36Fifty?
00:43:37Yeah.
00:43:39It's the best way to travel.
00:43:41Yep.
00:43:42Sure is.
00:43:43Your best trail is over here.
00:43:48You just have to watch for a few turns.
00:43:49I am here.
00:43:51You want to head all the way down here to where the path opens.
00:43:55You want to cross the paths.
00:43:57And there's the cabin.
00:43:59Just over the river.
00:44:00So it's not too far?
00:44:01Not too far at all.
00:44:02Good for the pups.
00:44:03They need a good breath.
00:44:04Thank you for trusting me with them.
00:44:08I'll have them back before the storm sets in.
00:44:11You're welcome.
00:44:19Pike!
00:44:19I just don't know if Jessica has the grit she'll need to be in relationship with Buck.
00:44:47You saw how upset she was when he had to leave at Thanksgiving.
00:44:53Seems more like love to me.
00:44:55I don't understand not being with your family over the holidays.
00:45:01I mean, does she come from a solid family?
00:45:04Yes.
00:45:05They just celebrate differently is all.
00:45:08Buck says she speaks to her mom, dad, and brother almost every day.
00:45:12They're artists.
00:45:13They travel around a lot.
00:45:15Just a little less traditional than us is all.
00:45:19Well, it's fine that not every family is the same.
00:45:23As long as she's a good fit with ours.
00:45:28Aunt Janine,
00:45:29I know this time of year is hard for you and you're missing Uncle Walt.
00:45:34But remember how he'd always make room at the table for others?
00:45:39If he hadn't done that for me, I wouldn't be here.
00:45:48Oh.
00:45:50Wait a minute.
00:45:51I've got one.
00:45:57Wait a minute.
00:45:58Two greedy Grinches.
00:46:02Amara.
00:46:03I'm on it.
00:46:11Whoa!
00:46:12Okay, guys.
00:46:26Good job, guys.
00:46:28Good job.
00:46:28Good job.
00:46:28Until next time.
00:46:31Bye-bye.
00:46:35Bye-bye.
00:46:35Bye-bye.
00:46:52Bye-bye.
00:46:55Bye-bye.
00:46:57Stop right there.
00:47:19Back away from the tree.
00:47:23Do you have a permit to cut this tree down?
00:47:26Oh, it's a permit.
00:47:27Come with me.
00:47:35Who sent you?
00:47:37No one.
00:47:37Stealing trees from the Wayne National Forest
00:47:40to sell their Christmas is not allowed.
00:47:44Are we in trouble?
00:47:45Oh, I'd say so.
00:47:47Please, ma'am, you can't tell our mom.
00:47:49I can.
00:47:50And I will.
00:47:52They're just kids.
00:47:53Then I think you're the perfect age
00:47:55to learn about the consequences of your actions.
00:47:58Don't you think?
00:48:03Good job, guys.
00:48:06Good job.
00:48:09Figure out where I am.
00:48:10We're here.
00:48:20We're close.
00:48:22We have to be close.
00:48:25I really love you.
00:48:26Okay, guys.
00:48:40Don't even think that we're going anywhere this time.
00:48:43How often are you still having PTSD episodes?
00:49:06Not as much anymore.
00:49:08Not since I'm at Jess.
00:49:09I've seen someone about it.
00:49:14Sleeping about it, too.
00:49:17What about Roma?
00:49:19What about her?
00:49:21Well, how has she transitioned back to civilian life?
00:49:24Oh.
00:49:26Did she ever remarry?
00:49:29Re-what?
00:49:31Uh...
00:49:33Sorry, I...
00:49:35Meg, spit it out.
00:49:38I-I don't think it was official.
00:49:40It was just a private ceremony at the base.
00:49:42I-I thought you knew.
00:49:45Roma is definitely not married.
00:49:50Well, no.
00:49:52He went missing on his tour.
00:49:55He never made it back home.
00:49:57She never said anything.
00:50:07We've all been trained to set our emotions aside.
00:50:14That doesn't make it any easier.
00:50:18I know what it's like to love somebody.
00:50:23And to not have them in your life.
00:50:34Hi. Good night.
00:50:35Would you reconsider moving back to Avalon Pass?
00:50:39I think there's more for you in the mountains than you think.
00:50:49Hey, I...
00:50:50Merry Christmas, Buck.
00:50:52Hope I'm not interrupting anything.
00:50:54Jess!
00:50:56What are you doing here?
00:50:58Why aren't you in your car?
00:51:00Well, my car conked out.
00:51:02So, I left it with a mechanic.
00:51:04Really nice guy.
00:51:05His name's Bob.
00:51:06Bored his dog sled so I could go on a romantic Christmas getaway with my boyfriend.
00:51:13Hey, I'm Meg.
00:51:16Hello.
00:51:17What brings you to these snowy parts, Meg?
00:51:19Well, I was...
00:51:20I was just trying to show Buck a shortcut through the backwoods.
00:51:22And then...
00:51:23It was actually quite a funny story.
00:51:24We were racing through the forest and we had a bit of an accident.
00:51:27And then...
00:51:28It was pretty thrilling though, wasn't it?
00:51:30Anyways, then we had to double on my snowmobile to get...
00:51:34Jess.
00:51:35Jess!
00:51:37You...
00:51:38What?
00:51:43Jess.
00:51:45Jess, where are you going?
00:51:46Home.
00:51:47But I thought your car needed repairs.
00:51:49Yeah, it does.
00:51:50But I would rather wait for Bob to come home from the Santa Parade
00:51:53than watch you have lunch all cozy with Meg.
00:51:55Nothing is going on.
00:51:57I was coming to see you.
00:51:58Meg was just helping me get there faster.
00:51:59And then I hit this log...
00:52:03Jess, please.
00:52:05We haven't seen each other in weeks and I missed you.
00:52:08I didn't want things to start off this way.
00:52:12Me neither.
00:52:13Okay.
00:52:14We're off to a bumpy start, but...
00:52:17The cabin, it's gonna be nice.
00:52:19Yeah?
00:52:20You know, all I wanted was just to spend a few hours with you.
00:52:27No work, no rocks, no agenda, no other people.
00:52:31You know?
00:52:33I do.
00:52:35So when we get to the cabin, Meg is gonna leave and it's just gonna be you and me.
00:52:40Meg is coming to the cabin?
00:52:41Your head is full of jingle bells if you think that's happening.
00:52:44Yeah.
00:52:49Meg?
00:52:50Here, bring your pack!
00:52:53I'm so sorry.
00:52:56I'm so sorry.
00:52:57It's okay.
00:52:59What's going on?
00:53:00I was taking him down to get a drink by the river and the poor guy stepped into his fox trap.
00:53:06Meg?
00:53:08He said he said to his god's water.
00:53:10In the bag.
00:53:11Jess, he'll hold his shoulders down so he doesn't bite himself.
00:53:13Hold on.
00:53:15We'll tell you.
00:53:17Easy.
00:53:18Easy.
00:53:19Easy.
00:53:20Come on.
00:53:22I got you.
00:53:26You know.
00:53:27Okay.
00:53:32It's okay.
00:53:33Okay.
00:53:35You're okay.
00:53:36Okay.
00:53:37Just go back to his side.
00:53:40Okay.
00:53:45It's okay. I got him.
00:53:47I'll be right behind you.
00:53:48Okay.
00:53:51I shouldn't have taken him that way.
00:53:53I shouldn't have taken him to the river.
00:53:54I could have made a few trips and just brought him water.
00:53:56I could have brought all four of them water.
00:53:59I'm so sorry.
00:54:02It's not on you.
00:54:04It's not your fault.
00:54:06The trap is old.
00:54:07It looks like it's been there for a long time.
00:54:09And his wounds aren't that deep.
00:54:12It's gonna be OK.
00:54:15I know.
00:54:19Hey, Maggie, listen.
00:54:23I need you to know how important Jess is to me.
00:54:29I care about her a lot, more than I've cared about anyone before.
00:54:38More than you care about me.
00:54:44We make a great team.
00:54:47But we wouldn't have been friends this long
00:54:48if we weren't honest with each other.
00:54:51Yeah?
00:54:52Yeah.
00:54:54I can see how you feel about Jessica.
00:54:58I saw the way that you looked at her.
00:55:03You should tell her.
00:55:03She knows how I feel.
00:55:06She drove through a blizzard and rode a dog sled to get to you.
00:55:11You should tell her.
00:55:12You should tell her.
00:55:17OK.
00:55:24OK, seriously, this is a lot.
00:55:26I, I already have a best friend, so.
00:55:28The winter comes on way too fast.
00:55:36The fall just never seems to last.
00:55:41But will you love me the same when the snow meets windowpane?
00:55:48Will you leave me with the red and orange leaves?
00:55:50Will you leave me with the red and orange leaves?
00:55:52I feel you'll break me Christmas time.
00:55:56I feel you'll break me Christmas time.
00:55:59I feel you'll break me Christmas time.
00:56:03Will you finally draw the line?
00:56:07Or will you stay with me this year
00:56:12I don't wanna shed a tear
00:56:15When they sing their songs and turn on all the lights
00:56:22So wrap me up dark again
00:56:28Give me one last Christmas kiss
00:56:36Don't leave me out in the cold
00:56:39If you still love me, let me know
00:56:43We're always here in the snow
00:56:48We're always here in the snow
00:56:54Thanks, Charlie.
00:57:02Sure you're gonna be okay with these guys?
00:57:04Thanks.
00:57:05I got this.
00:57:07Why don't you just come with us to the cabin?
00:57:09We can all go back together.
00:57:11Oh, I gotta get this little guy some medical attention.
00:57:15And then I'm gonna have Santa Bob make me a giant hot chocolate.
00:57:20He actually makes his own marshmallows.
00:57:22Can you believe it?
00:57:23Merry Christmas, Widdick.
00:57:26Merry Christmas, Jessica.
00:57:29Be safe.
00:57:33Hike!
00:57:34You're pretty amazing back there.
00:57:46You're good at what you do.
00:57:48Rescuing people while being all handsome and brave.
00:57:52Really?
00:57:54Yeah.
00:57:57Look, I'm really sorry about all that.
00:58:00She is really just a good friend.
00:58:04I can't help how handsome and brave I am to other people.
00:58:08Please.
00:58:10I only care how handsome and brave I am to you.
00:58:15Better get going.
00:58:17I like the look of the sky.
00:58:19Looks like the storm is rolling.
00:58:20I've watched the new thought.
00:58:22Well, the cabin's just on the other side of the pass.
00:58:24Well, you're fine.
00:58:26All right.
00:58:28Let's have more hours and we'll be curled up by a fireplace somewhere.
00:58:32Visibility's getting worse.
00:58:33Temperature's dropping and we're losing daylight.
00:58:37Your worst case scenario is all happening right now.
00:58:43Did you hear that?
00:58:44Is it what I think they are?
00:58:59I love tracks.
00:59:01Great.
00:59:03Welcome to Howler's Bay.
00:59:04Like this?
00:59:24That's it.
00:59:25And if you want, you can eat some.
00:59:27That's the fun part.
00:59:29When you're finished, you can take it home for your tree.
00:59:34We don't have a tree this year.
00:59:37Mom said we can't afford it.
00:59:39That's right.
00:59:40We wanted to surprise her with one for Christmas to make her happy.
00:59:45She's been sad.
00:59:48That's thoughtful of you.
00:59:52Hey, can you make me one?
00:59:54I'll be right back.
00:59:56Aren't you mean they weren't taking this tree to sell it?
01:00:00Sounds like they're having a hard time at home.
01:00:01Well, that's still no reason to resort to petty crime.
01:00:06Behavior like this would never have been tolerated when I was a junior ranger.
01:00:09I know.
01:00:10We have to protect the forest.
01:00:13Oh, I think Mom's coming.
01:00:15Sorry.
01:00:16I got here as soon as I could.
01:00:18Not to worry.
01:00:18I think the weight gave your kids some time to think.
01:00:21They were stealing a tree.
01:00:23Really?
01:00:23Really?
01:00:23I'm sorry.
01:00:27My kids are good kids.
01:00:29I just haven't been able to keep them in line and do everything without James being here.
01:00:34James is your husband?
01:00:36Yeah.
01:00:37He's a petroleum engineer.
01:00:39He's away on an oil rig for six months.
01:00:42I worry about him.
01:00:43It's hard to celebrate when it's gone.
01:00:49If you were to come to the bakery, I'd be more than happy to make this up to you with some fresh cinnamon rolls for Christmas.
01:00:56Mom!
01:00:58Hi, sweetheart.
01:00:59I'm sorry, Mom.
01:01:02Are we in trouble?
01:01:03We just wanted you to have a tree.
01:01:05Can we go home now?
01:01:07Rachel, Marcus, I'm afraid you can't leave just yet.
01:01:11I expect you to make this right.
01:01:33Where to gas?
01:01:34It's impossible.
01:01:36The gauge is full.
01:01:38Please.
01:01:42Come on.
01:01:45Come on.
01:01:45Come on.
01:01:53I guess the gauge is broken.
01:01:57Great.
01:01:59Well, how far is the cabin from here?
01:02:04Just across the river.
01:02:07You up for a hike?
01:02:09Yeah.
01:02:09Let's do it.
01:02:10There you go.
01:02:23Go ahead.
01:02:28So, these decorations need to find a new home.
01:02:32on your tree, the one you didn't cut down.
01:02:37Thanks, Miss Thompson.
01:02:39Can we go decorate it now?
01:02:41Off you go.
01:02:42Follow me.
01:02:43You're welcome.
01:02:45Thank you for making them happy.
01:02:48You know, the rangers and I could always use help in the forest.
01:02:52Maybe your kids would like to join the junior rangers.
01:02:54They would love that.
01:03:01Merry Christmas.
01:03:03Merry Christmas.
01:03:05Merry Christmas.
01:03:07Go on.
01:03:09Go on.
01:03:10Is that my father's compass?
01:03:19Yeah.
01:03:20Roma gave it to me for a trip.
01:03:23She did.
01:03:25She must like you.
01:03:26Yeah, I like her, too.
01:03:29She's actually watching Charlie for me.
01:03:31Roma's dog, Sydney.
01:03:33Wow.
01:03:34She must really like you.
01:03:36Wow.
01:03:36She kind of seemed happy to have something with me.
01:03:40Although, she's more of a cat person.
01:03:45Roma to Charlie.
01:03:46Roma to Charlie.
01:03:48Requesting permission to land.
01:03:50There you go.
01:03:52Of course I brought a treat for you.
01:03:54I am your Santa.
01:03:56Just don't tell Jessica I'm giving you treats, okay?
01:03:59Why is she going to let me dog suit you anymore?
01:04:03Where is she?
01:04:04We should be getting ready by now.
01:04:06It's quiet up there.
01:04:11It ain't too quiet for Jessica.
01:04:14No, I'm not.
01:04:16Yes.
01:04:18You talk endlessly when you're excited.
01:04:20You laugh when you're nervous.
01:04:23You bite your lip.
01:04:24And you try not to laugh at your own joke.
01:04:26And you are quiet when you are overthinking.
01:04:31You know, you don't know everything about me, Buck Thompson.
01:04:34We've only been dating a few months.
01:04:36But I've liked everything I've learned about you.
01:04:39Especially your rock, Cunz.
01:04:42Well, I've missed you.
01:04:46I realized all I wanted to do was just be with you.
01:04:49And you were up with Meg, rescuing people and saving people's lives and making the world a better place.
01:04:56You make the world so much better than I ever could just by being you.
01:05:07Get back.
01:05:10Yeah, I know.
01:05:24Scary foxes.
01:05:26Can we please just shake this whole Meg thing off?
01:05:33I can't control how she feels.
01:05:35All I can control is how I feel.
01:05:37And I really want to spend Christmas with my girlfriend.
01:05:40Better?
01:05:48Lunch.
01:05:52I know how I feel about you, too.
01:05:55And the jumping helps.
01:05:58A little.
01:05:59I kind of feel my toes again.
01:06:03Sort of.
01:06:08There's something across through here.
01:06:10The river's just over that hill.
01:06:13Well, I read the map, too.
01:06:15And it's not going to take much longer if we stick to the safer route.
01:06:21It's not going to take much longer if we're not.
01:06:24Okay.
01:06:26You lead the way.
01:06:26You lead the way.
01:06:51Do you think Dad would like this?
01:06:55How could he not?
01:06:57Look how beautiful it is.
01:07:00Yeah.
01:07:01I think it was perfect.
01:07:03Well, you can come back next year and decorate it again.
01:07:08Plus, everyone who comes to the woods can see it.
01:07:11It's beautiful.
01:07:15Thank you, Amara.
01:07:17Hello.
01:07:18Hi, Charlie.
01:07:20Merry Christmas Eve.
01:07:23Hello to you, too.
01:07:24Hi.
01:07:25So, how were your first dog adventures going?
01:07:29Oh, I'd say we had a really good time, didn't we?
01:07:32Yes, we did.
01:07:33Didn't think you were much of a dog person.
01:07:36I'd say I'm more of a Charlie person.
01:07:39You guys ready to go?
01:07:41Yeah, I just need to grab my coat and, of course, his squeaky toy.
01:07:44Right.
01:07:45Come on.
01:07:48Hey, Aunt Janine.
01:07:55Roma and I are getting ready to go.
01:07:57Hey.
01:07:58Listen, have you heard from Buck?
01:08:00I'd like my son here for church on Christmas Eve.
01:08:03Jessica promised she'd call when she gets to the cabin.
01:08:06They're just catching up.
01:08:10Right.
01:08:10Well, okay.
01:08:12She knows to drive him back in time for our family celebrations.
01:08:15So if that doesn't earn the girls some serious points in your books, I don't know what will.
01:08:20Okay, so where on earth are they?
01:08:23I don't know.
01:08:24But Buck wouldn't deviate from the plan.
01:08:26They must be close.
01:08:28Right.
01:08:28Well, I suppose if anyone could make it through the wild, it's those two.
01:08:33You know, singing might help warm us up.
01:08:37No chance.
01:08:38It's okay.
01:08:54It's okay.
01:08:57It's okay.
01:08:58It's okay.
01:08:58There's a sound of howling.
01:09:10I know.
01:09:11It's haunting.
01:09:16We're getting close.
01:09:17I can hear the river.
01:09:19It's going to be dangerous, but it's the only way to get home.
01:09:22Okay.
01:09:24I know.
01:09:25We need to get home.
01:09:32I could really freeze up out of here.
01:09:36Don't even joke about frostbite.
01:09:40Come on.
01:09:55The river sounds like it's running fast.
01:09:57It sounds dangerous.
01:10:00The cabin's just on the other side.
01:10:04The river looks higher this year.
01:10:06Well, looks like we're spending Christmas in the wilds.
01:10:10We either cross the river or we sleep outside.
01:10:13We have no idea how deep that is.
01:10:18What will kill us first?
01:10:19The freezing cold river or the current?
01:10:25It's fine.
01:10:25A better place to cross.
01:10:26The water's shallower here.
01:10:45The water's shallower here.
01:10:49Even in the middle.
01:10:51Should only go up to about mid-thigh.
01:10:53It's narrower, too, so it'll be quicker to get across.
01:10:56It's easy.
01:10:58We're not going to find a better way to cross.
01:11:02The current only gets stronger the further down we go.
01:11:07It's dangerous.
01:11:09We have to do this.
01:11:10No, I-I-I know.
01:11:14I'm not going to let anything happen to you.
01:11:18Just think of that cabin on the other side of that ridge.
01:11:21There's a big warm fire that's waiting for us.
01:11:23You're making future plans now?
01:11:27Yes, I need you to trust me.
01:11:29We can do this.
01:11:31You and I.
01:11:33Together.
01:11:35Okay.
01:11:37Okay.
01:11:46It's cold.
01:11:48Uh, no, wait, wait.
01:11:50I don't think I can do this.
01:11:51Guys.
01:11:51No.
01:11:52Keep going.
01:11:53Quick.
01:11:54But steady.
01:12:02Fuck!
01:12:03Fuck!
01:12:05Fuck!
01:12:07Fuck!
01:12:23Come on!
01:12:53Come on.
01:13:23Okay, you need to get your boots and your recluse off now.
01:13:38Okay, I'm gonna make a fire and call your mom tomorrow.
01:13:50Okay, I'm gonna make a fire.
01:14:20Okay.
01:14:22So how do I look?
01:14:29Very handsome and brave.
01:14:31That's it.
01:14:35Here, let me take this.
01:14:37Sit down.
01:14:42Is radio working this time?
01:14:44Yeah.
01:14:45I radioed in our position to Amara.
01:14:47Your mom was relieved to hear we were okay.
01:14:50Another hour.
01:14:51She would've sent out a search party.
01:14:53But she did manage to save us some of her homemade eggnog.
01:14:58She's starting to like you.
01:14:59Well, I am the beautiful, courageous woman who made it through the forest and across that
01:15:06river with her son.
01:15:08Jess.
01:15:09Jess, Jess, please.
01:15:10I'm more likely to die of blanket suffocation than hypothermia at this point.
01:15:15I promise.
01:15:16I'm good.
01:15:17Just one more.
01:15:18Here.
01:15:19You're looking better.
01:15:24Blue lips weren't a great look for you.
01:15:26I'm gonna remember that for next time.
01:15:41You know, Buck, thank you for getting us across that river.
01:15:48But I'd appreciate it if you'd stop doing such dangerous things.
01:15:51I'm tired of having to save you.
01:15:54Oh, really?
01:15:55Yeah.
01:15:56Well, I think we saved each other this time.
01:16:01Come here.
01:16:07Well, looks like we get to spend Christmas Eve together after all.
01:16:16I'm grateful.
01:16:19Me too.
01:16:22Hey, Jess.
01:16:23Ever since I got back from Afghanistan, I've been keeping the ones I love at a distance.
01:16:37Even you.
01:16:39I know that these last few weeks have been difficult being separated, but if we went away from each other, I wouldn't have realized how much I want that to change forever.
01:16:56Forever.
01:16:57I want you to have something.
01:17:02My lucky rock?
01:17:07My lucky rock?
01:17:08It's just a standard.
01:17:10For now.
01:17:13Until I can get you a much more sparkly one.
01:17:17Jessica Holloway, I want to spend the rest of my life with you.
01:17:28Will you marry me?
01:17:29Yes.
01:17:30Yes.
01:17:31Yes.
01:17:32I love you, Jess.
01:17:33I love you more.
01:17:34That's not possible.
01:17:35I do realize we have to get home for Christmas Eve dinner now.
01:17:38Or mom's gonna kill us both.
01:17:39Yeah, I know.
01:17:40Yeah, I know.
01:17:41I know.
01:17:42Yeah.
01:17:43I love you, Jess.
01:17:44I love you.
01:17:45I love you, Jess.
01:17:46I love you.
01:17:47I love you more.
01:17:48That's not possible.
01:17:49I do realize we have to get home for Christmas Eve dinner now.
01:17:53Or mom's gonna kill us both.
01:17:54Yeah, I know.
01:17:55Can't believe I have to do this again.
01:18:21Admit it, you like it.
01:18:22Wow, that is quite the outfit.
01:18:25Very festive.
01:18:26Yeah, it's keeping me warm.
01:18:29I can see that.
01:18:32Well, we have a Christmas Eve to get to.
01:18:35We cannot be late for service.
01:18:38You're welcome for the rescue.
01:18:39Rescue?
01:18:40That's not what this was.
01:18:42You just came in to give me fashion advice.
01:18:44Come on.
01:18:47Thank you so much for bringing him home in one piece.
01:18:50Yeah, I'm so glad to be here.
01:18:53Me too.
01:18:58Congratulations.
01:19:01Proud of you.
01:19:05A rock, though?
01:19:07Yeah, that's a long story.
01:19:09Maybe I'll tell you another time.
01:19:11Okay.
01:19:13Hey.
01:19:14I know I didn't get you for Secret Santa this year, but I did get you a gift.
01:19:22What are you talking about?
01:19:24I made some calls.
01:19:26And we're going to find him.
01:19:28They're missing soldier.
01:19:42You know what helps to talk to somebody?
01:19:44Mm-hmm.
01:19:44Just take it from somebody who knows how hard it is to come home.
01:19:49Yeah.
01:19:52Yeah.
01:19:52Hello.
01:19:57A toast.
01:19:58Yes.
01:20:00Come gather around, kids.
01:20:04Thanks.
01:20:06I know.
01:20:06Can't wait.
01:20:07Nothing formal.
01:20:08Nothing fancy.
01:20:10I would just like to make a toast to love.
01:20:13And to family.
01:20:18To Uncle Walt.
01:20:19So, cheers, everybody.
01:20:21Cheers.
01:20:22Cheers.
01:20:22Cheers.
01:20:23Cheers.
01:20:24Cheers.
01:20:25Cheers.
01:20:26Cheers.
01:20:28Oh.
01:20:31Yep.
01:20:32Every year.
01:20:37It's time to go.
01:20:39Oh, my goodness.
01:20:40It is.
01:20:41Okay.
01:20:43You need a jacket.
01:20:47I lost mine in the river, Ma.
01:20:49Mm-hmm.
01:20:50I'm just glad I didn't lose you with that river.
01:20:54Okay, stand by.
01:20:56Okay.
01:21:03Dad's coat.
01:21:04Yeah.
01:21:06You need it now, honey.
01:21:08This will keep you warm.
01:21:11Oh, my gosh.
01:21:12Look at this.
01:21:15It fits you perfectly.
01:21:18Right.
01:21:18Mm.
01:21:26You look nice.
01:21:30You ready?
01:21:31Mm-hmm.
01:21:33All right, kids.
01:21:34Jessica, after you.
01:21:35Mm-hmm.
01:21:35Okay, let's go.
01:21:39Nice jacket.
01:21:40This is so beautiful.
01:21:41Ha, ha, ha.
01:21:52This is so beautiful.
01:21:53This is so beautiful.
01:21:59Dad always taught us, especially at Christmas, we should share the joy.
01:22:04Well, that's easy for you guys.
01:22:08You all have beautiful voices.
01:22:10Um, I've heard your voice.
01:22:12It's beautiful, too.
01:22:17So beautiful.
01:22:19Makes me think of Dad.
01:22:21Me too, sweetheart.
01:22:22We light these candles to keep them safe.
01:22:26Silent night, holy night, holy night.
01:22:37All is calm, all is light.
01:22:46Sleep in heavenly peace.
01:22:47Sleep in heavenly peace.
01:22:48Sleep in heavenly peace.
01:23:16Happy peace.
01:23:17Happy peace.
01:23:27Merry Christmas.
01:23:28Hey.
01:23:35Aw.
01:23:36These are adorable.
01:23:38She does them every year.
01:23:40Yeah.
01:23:41Oh, these are adorable.
01:23:44She does them every year.
01:23:49Merry Christmas.
01:23:51Merry Christmas.
01:24:00Hey.
01:24:02You know, this has been a pretty great Christmas Eve.
01:24:07You're the best present I could have ever asked for.
01:24:09You're mine, too.
01:24:13You know, I don't think we could have planned a better holiday if we tried.
01:24:16Yeah.
01:24:17Other than the blizzard, extreme cold, and icy river.
01:24:22The cabin was nice.
01:24:24Yeah.
01:24:28Is that a meteor shower tonight?
01:24:31That's okay.
01:24:33I think I've had enough of the wonders of nature for now.
01:24:35I am perfectly content with a boring life with my fiancée.
01:24:42I think our life together is going to be anything but boring.
01:24:47I think so, too.
01:24:48I think so.
01:24:59I think so.
01:26:00Come let us adore Him, oh come let us adore Him, Christ Lord.
