Hollywood Cinema

Ella is a charitable and spirited Newport socialite in 1905 who dreams of using her wealth to start a foundation to help others in town. After learning her father intends for her to become engaged to a man she's never met at the upcoming Christmas Eve ball, Ella goes for a nighttime sail in her schooner to clear her head. Upon seeing a comet shoot across the sky, she wistfully wishes for a different life. Ella is shocked to suddenly find Nick, a sailor and local Newport historian, aboard her schooner and accuses him of being a stowaway. But Nick insists he owns the boat and a standoff ensues. Once on dry land, Ella realizes that somehow, she's traveled from 1905 to 2025. As she spends time there and gets a glimpse at what her future in 1905 appears to be, she becomes reluctant to return, especially since she and Nick have grown close and she now knows how true love feels.But the legacy Ella built in her time - and the course of Newport's history - risks being erased the longer she stays in the present, so the two plot a course for her trip back through time. But what awaits her at home is even more surprising that what she found in the future.

00:00:00Where's Ella?

00:00:11Have you arranged the flowers yet?

00:00:13Who's seen Ella?

00:00:15Fellas, the tree's not straight.

00:00:18Find Ella.

00:00:27I think I'll stop here.

00:00:28Oh, Mr. Gale, a scarf to help with the children.

00:00:36Oh, and Mr. Lloyd, I knit these mittens myself.

00:00:43And last, but certainly not least,

00:00:46a basket of baked goods for your family and some toys for the children.

00:00:52Deeply obliged.

00:00:53Thank you so much, Miss Stewart.

00:00:54It's my pleasure.

00:00:55Oh, those chestnuts smell delicious.

00:01:00May I have a bag?

00:01:00Of course.

00:01:01One bag of chestnuts coming right up.

00:01:08Merry Christmas, Nell.

00:01:09Thanks.

00:01:09Merry Christmas.

00:01:10Merry Christmas.

00:01:31Merry Christmas.

00:01:34Ella, whatever are you doing

00:01:43Here's this tree for you and for the rest of the staff downstairs

00:01:45You're too kind, but you'll tarnish your new outfit

00:01:48It's no bother, I'm glad to do it

00:01:50You have your mother's heart

00:01:51Your father requests the word with you in the study

00:01:54Wonderful, I'd like a word with him as well

00:01:56Sadie, I've made a decision

00:01:59After much contemplation

00:02:01I've decided to start a charity in town to help those who are struggling in Newport

00:02:05I found just the spot

00:02:06Oh, no

00:02:07Oh, yes

00:02:08I'm going to ask father to increase my allowance so I may rent the space

00:02:12Wish me luck

00:02:14Good luck

00:02:15Good day, father

00:02:23I'm glad you called me

00:02:25I must speak with you because

00:02:26I must speak with you too

00:02:27As you know, we'll be hosting our inaugural Christmas ball in a week

00:02:32It's the event of the season

00:02:34Everyone in Newport is talking about it

00:02:36Huzzah to you

00:02:37Well, I wanted to inform you that it's not just a Christmas ball

00:02:41No

00:02:42It's also an engagement party

00:02:45Oh

00:02:46Are you to marry again?

00:02:48Oh, do be serious, Ella

00:02:50I'm not marrying, you are

00:02:52At the Christmas ball, we'll announce your engagement

00:02:55To whom?

00:02:58To Everett Thornton

00:02:58He's a good man from a very good family

00:03:02Who you'll meet at the Christmas ball and not before

00:03:05Lest you pull your hijinks to blitz it

00:03:08Well, um

00:03:10Father

00:03:12As much as I appreciate all the consideration you have put into this arrangement

00:03:17And I do

00:03:18I'll have to respectfully decline

00:03:21Because I have decided to forego marriage

00:03:24And instead use my wedding coffers to start a charity

00:03:28A charity?

00:03:29Yes, a foundation that will serve the community of Newport

00:03:32And ensure that no family is without food or a warm bed

00:03:35I want to use my resources to help people find homes and jobs

00:03:40So they can be independent and prosperous

00:03:42I live a very blessed life

00:03:48I want to share what I have with the community

00:03:50Just like Mother would have wanted me to

00:03:53You'll do no such thing

00:03:55You'll do as I say and marry

00:03:57I

00:03:58Oh

00:04:03Dear, we are out of ornaments

00:04:07But not to fret, I'll get more

00:04:08Wait, we're not done

00:04:10My coat, please?

00:04:12How did your father take it?

00:04:13Oh, quite well, I'd say

00:04:14Although the idea might require just a bit more time for him to warm up to

00:04:19Where are you going?

00:04:21For a sale on the Beneficence

00:04:22To think

00:04:23He'll be mad as a March hare

00:04:25Which is why we should delay the news

00:04:27Shall we?

00:04:34Good evening, William

00:04:34Ladies and gentlemen, let's go back in time to the Gilded Age

00:04:54My aptly named 122-year-old classic sailboat

00:04:58Looks good for a century

00:04:59I appreciate that

00:05:00She does and she should

00:05:01She's a part of history

00:05:03Once owned by Ella Stewart Grafton

00:05:05Given to her by her father

00:05:07And actually, we're going to be visiting their estate later on in the tour

00:05:10Where she grew up, became a philanthropist

00:05:12And started the giving house right here in Newport

00:05:14I heard she married a sailor

00:05:15Navy man, Rex Grafton

00:05:17I've seen on that mast right there

00:05:19They love to sail together

00:05:20Uh, Nick, Coast Guard received report of a vessel dead in the water under Island Bridge

00:05:24But all of our boats are already out

00:05:25Copy, I can assist

00:05:26Will you escort these people back to Grafton Estate?

00:05:28Christine, we'll help you from there

00:05:29Sure

00:05:29You do rescues?

00:05:31I was in the Coast Guard for many years

00:05:32Uh, when I'm not a historian at Grafton Estate

00:05:34I do volunteer rescues for Newport, yes

00:05:36But, uh, I gotta go, guys

00:05:38Merry Christmas to y'all

00:05:39Okay, folks, please follow me

00:05:41Head right this way

00:05:42Why did Father have to go and complicate things?

00:05:49Ever important

00:05:51I wish for a different life

00:06:04I wish to fall in love

00:06:09And for someone to fall in love with me

00:06:12For me

00:06:15Where did you come from?

00:06:23Get back

00:06:24Stowaway

00:06:25Excuse me?

00:06:27How am I a stowaway?

00:06:28This is my boat

00:06:29Your boat?

00:06:30Ha!

00:06:30What nonsense

00:06:31My father would beg to differ

00:06:33Now

00:06:34Who are you and what do you want?

00:06:37What's happening?

00:06:38I was sitting on a rescue

00:06:39These are the coordinates

00:06:41And I don't see any boat

00:06:43I just see you on my boat

00:06:44What are you wearing?

00:06:47It's my boat

00:06:48And what are you wearing?

00:06:50If you think to try anything with me, sir

00:06:53You have paddled up the wrong creek

00:06:55Wait

00:06:56Do I know you?

00:06:58I don't think so

00:06:59Does it matter?

00:07:00How did you get on this boat?

00:07:02Where did you come from?

00:07:03It's my boat!

00:07:06Now you stay there and man the rudder

00:07:08I'll manage the sheets

00:07:10Okay

00:07:11Okay

00:07:13Okay

00:07:14Is it happening?

00:07:18To where to?

00:07:19To Newport, of course

00:07:21Where you can be dealt with

00:07:22By the proper authorities

00:07:23What is happening right now?

00:07:39I'm not gonna bite you

00:07:40Can put the oar down

00:07:40Let's see

00:07:50I'll tie the front

00:07:52That's a pretty good knot

00:07:59Now, where are the authorities?

00:08:05This is not my home

00:08:06Where am I?

00:08:09Newport, Rhode Island

00:08:10Nonsense

00:08:48December 18th

00:08:4819...

00:08:49Five

00:08:50Although the harrowed expression on your face suggests

00:08:53I've been correct

00:08:57No, it is December 18th

00:08:592025

00:09:07Some kind of prank?

00:09:08Who put you up to this?

00:09:10My falderdash?

00:09:10I should be asking you the same thing

00:09:12It's a joke

00:09:13A joke

00:09:13Like you have a little hidden camera

00:09:15And you're...

00:09:15How could I fit a camera in my button?

00:09:17Are you mad?

00:09:19How could all this be?

00:09:38I'll make sure you get home okay

00:09:39Oh

00:09:47You'd be great on the tours

00:09:49Tours?

00:09:51I'm gonna play along

00:09:52This is gonna be fun

00:09:53Alright, you've asked what's become of everything?

00:09:54Let me tell you

00:09:55The last 120 years

00:09:57Let's see

00:09:57We've synthesized DNA

00:09:59We built electric cars

00:10:01We landed on the moon

00:10:02We have microwaves

00:10:03Internets

00:10:04Interstates

00:10:05Inflatable snowmen

00:10:07Inflatable snowmen?

00:10:08Yeah

00:10:08Are we breathing?

00:10:15I think we're breathing

00:10:15Miss, ma'am

00:10:16Hello

00:10:17Hello

00:10:17You guys wanna back up just a little bit?

00:10:19Yeah, give her some air

00:10:20Give me some air

00:10:20Let's give everybody some air

00:10:22Ma'am

00:10:22Oh no

00:10:28I'm still here

00:10:31You got us worried there

00:10:33I almost caught an ambulance

00:10:34I think you knocked your head pretty good

00:10:36When you snuck on my boat, so

00:10:37It's my boat!

00:10:40You probably should rest a little

00:10:42Or not

00:10:43Okay, I'll go check it out

00:10:45I really am in the future

00:10:48Yeah, yeah, you are

00:10:49Sure

00:10:51Everyone rides around in horseless carriages as if they're straight out of a Jules Byrne novel

00:10:58Yep

00:10:58Please

00:10:59Tell me more of this 2025

00:11:02Okay

00:11:03Um, well, uh, we have taller buildings, uh, shorter tempers, uh, houses are bigger yet for some reason the families are smaller

00:11:16A lot more conveniences but somehow less time and everyone's got notes

00:11:21Ugh, you paint such a bleak picture

00:11:25See?

00:11:26You also have glittering Christmas lights

00:11:29And ornaments

00:11:31All identical and shiny

00:11:33Inflatable snowmen

00:11:36But what truly astounds me

00:11:38Yeah

00:11:39Is that women wear pants

00:11:42Oh, yeah

00:11:44Yeah, a lot of them do

00:11:45It looks the same

00:11:52Only older

00:11:53And more festive

00:11:56Father will be so relieved I return

00:12:01Sadie

00:12:02What are all these people doing in my home?

00:12:07Well, this is our last tour of the evening

00:12:08You know, this home has been a museum for the last 60 years

00:12:12And I'm a historian here

00:12:14A museum?

00:12:15But why?

00:12:16Why?

00:12:17You know, I'm gonna get Christine

00:12:18She's our museum director

00:12:19Christine

00:12:19I heard my name, yes

00:12:20Yes, um, may I present to you Miss Ella Grafton

00:12:23Stuart

00:12:23Stuart, apologies, Miss Ella...

00:12:26Stuart

00:12:27I'm sorry, what's going on?

00:12:29My goodness, what is this darling ensemble you're donning?

00:12:32A jumpsuit

00:12:33Says who?

00:12:35Nordstrom Rack?

00:12:37I don't know, Sir Nordstrom Rack

00:12:38Sir?

00:12:39Could you introduce me to him?

00:12:41Miss Stuart, why don't you have a seat right over here?

00:12:43There are some refreshments if you like

00:12:45And Nick, can I have a word?

00:12:47Please

00:12:47Thank you

00:12:48The Grafton Estate

00:12:56Oh, uh, hello

00:12:58Ella Stuart, how do you do?

00:13:00I do, thanks

00:13:02Oh, are you a new tour guide?

00:13:05I didn't realize we were adding costumes

00:13:07Genius

00:13:08I'm Francis

00:13:09I work for Christine

00:13:10You work for her?

00:13:12A lady boss?

00:13:14How inspiring

00:13:15Okay

00:13:20Alright, thanks for checking

00:13:22Okay, so

00:13:24I spoke with my uncle Leo at the precinct

00:13:26And?

00:13:27There are no reports of anyone fitting her description

00:13:29He's gonna check the local hospitals to see if anyone's missing

00:13:33I wonder who she is

00:13:34I have no idea, but I do know she just appeared at a thin hair on my boat

00:13:37No, that doesn't make any sense

00:13:39But it happened

00:13:39Okay, in her reaction to Newport

00:13:41I mean, she walked in the street

00:13:43She fainted

00:13:43And now she thinks she's Ella Stuart

00:13:44Well

00:13:45Whatever's happening here

00:13:47She seems innocent enough

00:13:48Excuse me

00:13:49What are you all here for?

00:13:52The lantern tour

00:13:53Are you a guide?

00:13:54Oh, no

00:13:55I'm actually in the midst of navigating

00:13:57An unfathomable chronological aberration

00:13:59But

00:14:00I would be remiss to be a bad host

00:14:02Thus

00:14:03It would be my honor

00:14:04To give you a tour

00:14:05Welcome to my home

00:14:10Where is she going?

00:14:13She's the new guide, right?

00:14:14No

00:14:15The architect was a dear friend of my father

00:14:18Arthur Sulkin

00:14:19Inspired by European craftsmanship

00:14:22And yes, this is a museum to you

00:14:25How strange

00:14:26But to me

00:14:28It's the only home I've ever known

00:14:30In here is the dining room

00:14:33She's pretty good, huh?

00:14:35And looks exactly like her

00:14:37Yeah

00:14:37Over here

00:14:39Is where we place an evergreen tree

00:14:41From the property

00:14:42The staff would all come together

00:14:44And we'd decorate with

00:14:45Ropes of cranberry

00:14:47And popcorn

00:14:48Yes

00:14:50And the dining table

00:14:52Where we'd eat a plum pudding

00:14:53On Christmas Eve

00:14:54Chef would make my favorite

00:14:56Minced pies

00:14:58Roasted pork

00:14:59Oh, and this year

00:15:01We're starting a new tradition

00:15:03We're hosting

00:15:05A Christmas Eve ball

00:15:06Don't you still hold that?

00:15:08Yes, we do

00:15:09Every year

00:15:10How about that?

00:15:13And just across the hall

00:15:15Is the study where we would

00:15:16What happened here?

00:15:20The study has changed

00:15:22The furniture and the layout are different

00:15:25Father's desk was here

00:15:27And mother's painting just there

00:15:29Okay

00:15:30Okay, that's impressive

00:15:32What occurred?

00:15:34Well, there was a fire in 1942

00:15:36Some of the room had to be completely rebuilt

00:15:39I never sat for this

00:15:43When was this painted?

00:15:46Early 1906

00:15:47Hmm

00:15:49My father must have commissioned it

00:15:51For my future husband

00:15:52No one knows why it was commissioned

00:15:54Well, I do look happy

00:15:57Come back soon

00:16:00Merry Christmas

00:16:02Merry Christmas

00:16:03Farewell

00:16:03So what is this?

00:16:08Why is my home a museum?

00:16:09Because Ella

00:16:10I mean you

00:16:11Was

00:16:12Or are

00:16:13Or is going to be

00:16:14A great woman

00:16:16A historical figure

00:16:17And

00:16:17How do you two know each other?

00:16:20We actually went to college together

00:16:21Same history program

00:16:22College graduate

00:16:24Well done, Christine

00:16:26A lady boss is extremely rare where I come from

00:16:29Okay

00:16:29Speaking of

00:16:30While my time here has been grand

00:16:32I do wish to return home

00:16:33So I'll have to bid you adieu

00:16:35Where are you going?

00:16:36Beneficent's got me here

00:16:37Oh

00:16:38So she should be able to get me home

00:16:39Beneficent

00:16:43Oh, the boat

00:16:43The Gilded Age is my boat

00:16:46Gilded Age?

00:16:48What's that?

00:16:50Whoever she is

00:16:50You have to look out for her

00:16:52No, I don't

00:16:52Yes, you do

00:16:53Why?

00:16:54Because she doesn't know what she's doing

00:16:55I don't need your help

00:16:58And I'm not whoever you are

00:16:59I'm Ella Stewart

00:17:00Can you prove it?

00:17:02Tell me something about Ella that no one knows

00:17:04Something you could not look up in a history book

00:17:06How am I to know what you can find about me in a history book?

00:17:08And if no one knows this unknown fact

00:17:10How are you to prove it?

00:17:11But tell me this

00:17:12Why would you and Rex etch your name into the mast?

00:17:14Who's Rex?

00:17:16And what etching?

00:17:17I would never etch anything into my precious mast

00:17:21Well, that's my mast

00:17:22I've got some bad news for you

00:17:25Ha!

00:17:26You see?

00:17:27There

00:17:28I don't see anything

00:17:30What?

00:17:34It was here

00:17:35It was right here

00:17:36It's been barbed over a century ago

00:17:37Where's my sonar?

00:17:39Where's my equipment?

00:17:41What?

00:17:41You could not have taken it out this fast

00:17:45What did you do with all my equipment?

00:17:47How are you doing this?

00:17:47I told you

00:17:48This is my boat

00:17:50Christened Beneficence in 1901

00:17:53Ta-da!

00:17:56What?

00:18:03Maybe we get you warm and we talk about this

00:18:06There's nothing to talk about

00:18:07The sooner I get out on the water

00:18:09The sooner I can get home to my precious Newport

00:18:11I think whatever happened to you

00:18:14Might be a little more complicated

00:18:15Than you simply just sailed into the night

00:18:17So please, please

00:18:18Just

00:18:18Let's figure out what happened

00:18:21Okay?

00:18:22Get you some rest

00:18:23And then

00:18:24If you'd like to set sail

00:18:25I will gladly help you

00:18:27I appreciate your concern

00:18:29I think I will head home

00:18:32Sounds good

00:18:32Home?

00:18:34No, no

00:18:35You can't stay there

00:18:36Okay, I need you to show me what to do with this sticker

00:18:40Can you put that?

00:18:40Put it where?

00:18:41On the bag

00:18:41On the

00:18:42Over

00:18:42Oh no

00:18:44Wow

00:18:44No, it's a good look actually

00:18:45Is it?

00:18:47What are you kids doing?

00:18:49Oh

00:18:49We are making donation bags and decorations for the Christmas charity ball

00:18:54For the 120th anniversary, the theme is step back into time

00:18:58So we're trying to make the ball look and feel as much like the inaugural 1905 ball as possible

00:19:03Based off of your diaries and accounts of the event

00:19:08Well, I've seen the staff decorating

00:19:10Perhaps I can be of assistance

00:19:12Oh, that'd be great

00:19:13Oh

00:19:13Oh, this won't do

00:19:16Oh?

00:19:18Our ornaments are play statues and hand-blown glass baubles

00:19:22We definitely do not use this

00:19:25What do you call this?

00:19:28Uh, plastic?

00:19:30Yes, this plastic

00:19:33Follow me

00:19:35Just here in my room

00:19:36Remarkably accurate

00:19:38This is where I keep my treasures

00:19:45Roughly dusty, isn't it?

00:19:53Mother and I made this together for Christmas 1898

00:19:56Pink

00:19:57My favorite color

00:19:59Not plastic

00:20:01Mother knit this for me

00:20:04Santa would place in the toe Brazil nuts and peppermint sticks

00:20:08Have you ever had a Brazil nut?

00:20:10Rare

00:20:10Yes, but ever so glorious

00:20:12And this is where I would hide my diary

00:20:14Actually, your diary's on display in the ballroom

00:20:17How'd you do that?

00:20:21Can I see it?

00:20:27This is the diary

00:20:28Looks the same, feels the same

00:20:30I know this book like the back of my hand

00:20:32But in this one, the diary entries end at December 17th, 1905

00:20:37As it should

00:20:39Because that was the last day I wrote in it

00:20:41Yesterday

00:20:42Well, this day has been quite unexpected

00:20:47Um, now if you'll excuse me

00:20:49I would like to go to bed

00:20:51Well, considering your bed is now a museum piece

00:20:54Let's check the bed and breakfast

00:20:55And see if there's any more room

00:20:57Okay, we're all set

00:21:01The museum has arranged a two-bedroom suite on the upper floor

00:21:06Until you can get everything sorted out

00:21:08Max here will help you get situated

00:21:10This is ever so kind of you

00:21:12It's the least we could do

00:21:13We're the ones who turned your home into a museum

00:21:15Did you talk to your uncle?

00:21:23Yes, no reports of anyone missing from the wards or the hospitals

00:21:26My boat as I knew it has completely changed

00:21:29Everything

00:21:30The little carving on the mast

00:21:31Where'd that go, huh?

00:21:32It's gone

00:21:32All my stuff is gone

00:21:33And I know it sounds like a crazy person

00:21:35But I'm starting to think she actually time traveled

00:21:36Well, she does know things about Ella that no one could possibly know

00:21:39Like your secret compartment in her room?

00:21:41True

00:21:41I have been at that place for ten years

00:21:44I know every inch of it

00:21:45Or I thought I did

00:21:46Hear me out

00:21:46Maybe the past and the present are happening simultaneously

00:21:49So today is both December 18th, 1905 and December 18th, 2025

00:21:55Or maybe this is all just an elaborate hoax

00:21:57A hoax that changed my entire boat in a minute?

00:22:00Francis, you're the sci-fi nerd

00:22:02Uh, I prefer sci-fi buff, but sure

00:22:04So what do you think?

00:22:06It sounds crazy, but I believe her

00:22:07Would you believe that I do too?

00:22:09And if she really did time travel, then we have some ground rules to abide

00:22:12Okay

00:22:13Like what?

00:22:14Like 1905, Ella hasn't started the giving house yet

00:22:17She doesn't know the life ahead of her

00:22:19It's true, because the diary that we have of hers on display, that's finished

00:22:22Which means she somehow makes her way back to the past

00:22:26So we can't tell her the future

00:22:28Lest we create a cosmic wrinkle and alter the course of history

00:22:31Nick, you can't let her out of your sight

00:22:34Uh, then perhaps she shouldn't be reading the stack of books on Newport's history

00:22:38That she's taking up to her room right now

00:22:40Nope, probably not

00:22:41Come on

00:22:41Ella, I brought you some of my clothes and something to sleep in

00:22:48Thank you, Christine

00:22:50Oh

00:22:52They're so soft and stretchy

00:22:57With no fiddly buttons or buckles

00:23:01Why?

00:23:02I'd be the toast of my era

00:23:04You were the toast of your era

00:23:06I was?

00:23:07Mm-hmm

00:23:08What do you know of me?

00:23:10I really shouldn't say

00:23:11Surely there's something?

00:23:13I will tell you

00:23:16You have always been an inspiration to me

00:23:20Working at the museum and getting to share your legacy

00:23:23It's been a dream

00:23:25And I have no doubt

00:23:27You will be an inspiration to me

00:23:29What with you being a lady boss in Hobbes

00:23:31Oh, well

00:23:32Nick will be staying in the other room just in case you need anything

00:23:36Oh

00:23:39I do think we should have a chaperone

00:23:44The town will talk

00:23:47You know, we do live in a much different time now

00:23:50Yes

00:23:51They seem liberated

00:23:54Uh, well

00:23:55That's debatable

00:23:56I'm not saying that the world was perfect back then

00:24:00But it was just a

00:24:00Such a beautiful golden age

00:24:02You know, with

00:24:03Great invention

00:24:05And grand estates

00:24:06And great literature

00:24:07And opera boxes

00:24:08And

00:24:09Sorry, I read a lot of Wharton

00:24:11Edith?

00:24:12Yeah

00:24:12Do you know her?

00:24:13Yes

00:24:14She and her husband bought one of their many summer homes

00:24:16Just down the street from us

00:24:17Oh, you like

00:24:19You know her, know her

00:24:20I just meant it's a

00:24:22It seems like it was a simpler time

00:24:24Yes

00:24:25But that's what my father always says about the era of good feelings

00:24:28Nostalgia is not a modern construct

00:24:31Anyway, I can promise you whatever time or age

00:24:35Being human ensures that life will always be complicated

00:24:39But beautiful

00:24:41How did you know I was going to say that?

00:24:47It's one of your most famous quotes

00:24:48I probably shouldn't have told you that

00:24:51I'm

00:24:51Sorry, but it's a

00:24:53It's a beautiful quote

00:24:55It's one of my favorites

00:24:57It brings me a lot of comfort

00:24:58Well

00:25:01I should retire for the evening

00:25:04Good night

00:25:06Good night

00:25:10Here you go

00:25:19Whatever is this?

00:25:25That is called a cafe latte with oat milk

00:25:28No, I mean this

00:25:31There is a perfectly shaped Christmas tree in my cup

00:25:35I guess we would call that latte art

00:25:39It can get quite ornate

00:25:40Almost too lovely to drink

00:25:42Almost

00:25:43So you time traveled

00:25:44Do you have any idea what time travel is?

00:25:47Of course

00:25:47I've read H.G. Wells, the time machine

00:25:49Who hasn't?

00:25:50But I never suspected it to be possible

00:25:54Me neither

00:25:54What's the last thing that you remember?

00:25:56Well, um

00:25:57I was sailing up the coast

00:26:00When I saw

00:26:01A comet

00:26:03Unlike anything I've ever seen

00:26:05And then you appeared on my boat

00:26:08You mean my boat?

00:26:10Mm

00:26:10Okay, so you think it has something to do with this comet

00:26:13I'm trying to figure this out

00:26:13It couldn't have been the boat

00:26:15I've taken her out a thousand times

00:26:16Is there

00:26:16Is there anything else you can think of?

00:26:21Not that I remember

00:26:21Oh

00:26:23You must show me the holiday wonders of your century

00:26:26Perhaps we could take a walk

00:26:28Sure, yeah

00:26:29We can take these to go

00:26:30To what now?

00:26:31We will carry them out

00:26:32In paper cups

00:26:34Paper cups?

00:26:36Absolutely genius

00:26:37Tell me

00:26:39How does one milk an oat?

00:26:41No

00:26:41You okay?

00:26:43Mm-hmm

00:26:44Look at me

00:26:46Yeah

00:26:47In my pants

00:26:48Drinking the milk of an oat from a paper cup

00:26:51If only your father could see me now

00:26:53Yes, you are

00:26:54Quite the sight

00:26:55Listen, I've been thinking

00:26:56Getting you back

00:26:57To 1905

00:26:59So

00:27:00What is that man ringing about?

00:27:01He's collecting for families at Christmas time

00:27:04Oh

00:27:05So

00:27:05Anyway

00:27:06That is very generous

00:27:10That 120-year-old coin could feed the whole city

00:27:12Okay

00:27:13Like I said

00:27:14We need to focus on getting you back

00:27:15So

00:27:15Isn't that the most marvelous Christmas tree you've ever seen?

00:27:21Who owns this majestic tree?

00:27:28No one, actually

00:27:28It's for the tree lighting tonight

00:27:29It's one of the events that raises money for the giving

00:27:32Giving what?

00:27:33Uh, local charity

00:27:34We need to figure out how to get you back

00:27:37Hello

00:27:37I'm Ella Stewart

00:27:38How do you do?

00:27:39And more importantly

00:27:40How can I be of assistance?

00:27:43Here you go

00:27:43Thank you

00:27:44Let's get to work

00:27:46Oh, I'm

00:27:48I'm good

00:27:49I don't participate much

00:27:50Whatever do you mean?

00:27:51Well, you know

00:27:51You go to a

00:27:52A restaurant

00:27:53At someone's birthday

00:27:54And you're singing happy birthday

00:27:55To a stranger

00:27:56And

00:27:56Not at all

00:27:57But go on

00:27:58Why would you know that?

00:27:59Um

00:28:00I don't know

00:28:01I'm just more of an observer

00:28:02Because you don't wish the stranger

00:28:04To have a happy birthday?

00:28:05No, no, no

00:28:05Uh, bad example

00:28:06Uh

00:28:07I don't know

00:28:08I just

00:28:09I don't join in much

00:28:09I don't know

00:28:10Well

00:28:11I don't know

00:28:11Not to fret

00:28:12We all have an unlimited capacity for growth

00:28:15Um

00:28:16Excuse me

00:28:17Merry Christmas

00:28:19This is Nick

00:28:21He's learning how to participate

00:28:23Hello

00:28:27Mmm

00:28:32Mmm

00:28:33Roasted chestnuts

00:28:35Glorious

00:28:36Some things never go out of style

00:28:38Ladies and gentlemen

00:28:40The moment you've been waiting for

00:28:42Please join me

00:28:43As we count down

00:28:44Five

00:28:46Four

00:28:47Three

00:28:48Two

00:28:49One

00:28:50It's beautiful

00:28:58The Christmas tree lighting

00:29:05The boat parade

00:29:06They're all

00:29:06Huge Newport traditions

00:29:08Ella

00:29:09Let me guess

00:29:13Marstermack

00:29:14You know it

00:29:15Oh

00:29:16Can I talk to you for a moment?

00:29:19Yeah

00:29:19Just one minute

00:29:20Dedicated and loving memory to Ella Grafton

00:29:31Founded the Giving House

00:29:33Which has provided housing and support services

00:29:35To the people of Newport since 1906

00:29:38I did it?

00:29:40What is this supposed to be?

00:29:41It's lovely

00:29:42Can you paint this?

00:29:42Look at it

00:29:43This looks like Ella's portrait

00:29:45Yes, but

00:29:46Notice something missing?

00:29:47She's just completely disappeared from the painting

00:29:49She's gone

00:29:49What does this mean?

00:29:52As best as I can understand

00:29:53Time is a river

00:29:55That flows from the past to the present

00:29:56And Ella being here

00:29:58Has placed a boulder in the river

00:30:00Diverting its course

00:30:01Okay, so we get rid of the boulder?

00:30:02Or

00:30:03The course of history will be changed forever

00:30:05But remember

00:30:06Whatever we do

00:30:06We cannot tell her the future

00:30:08I started the giving house

00:30:10Did you know?

00:30:12Oh

00:30:12You must come see the black

00:30:13It's ever so lovely

00:30:14Wait

00:30:15Come

00:30:15Okay, come

00:30:16Wait

00:30:17Also

00:30:18A generous passerby

00:30:19Inform me that the giving house

00:30:21Later funded a paper company

00:30:22That single handedly

00:30:23Kept Newport's poor

00:30:25Fed during the great depression

00:30:26But whatever is a great depression

00:30:28What?

00:30:32It's gone

00:30:32But how could that be?

00:30:34It was just here

00:30:35I swear it on my entire

00:30:36We all knew it was here

00:30:37Ella

00:30:37We've all seen it many times

00:30:39Then what happened to it?

00:30:41I think you being here

00:30:43Is erasing you from history

00:30:44From the traditions you started

00:30:46And I worry if you don't go back soon

00:30:49We could disappear permanently

00:30:50Whatever are you doing?

00:31:00Right now I'm doing a little bit of research

00:31:01Trying to figure out the name of the comet

00:31:03That you saw in 1905

00:31:05No, I mean

00:31:05What is this

00:31:06Contraption?

00:31:08Oh, this

00:31:09This is a laptop

00:31:11Mm-hmm

00:31:13Laptop

00:31:14Think of it as

00:31:15Electronic encyclopedia

00:31:18And an abacus were rolled into one

00:31:19So you're saying

00:31:21This little box contains

00:31:25All the knowledge of the world

00:31:26That's right

00:31:27Sadly, today people use it

00:31:29For mostly posting photos

00:31:30Of their pets online

00:31:30And arguing with strangers

00:31:31Anyway

00:31:33Right now I'm trying to piece together

00:31:35What happened to you

00:31:36There's an article here

00:31:37That mentions various comets

00:31:39That have traveled through

00:31:39Our solar system in history

00:31:40How intriguing

00:31:41Yeah

00:31:42So with these comets

00:31:43Come magnetic activity

00:31:45Which under the right circumstances

00:31:47Would cause very strange phenomena

00:31:49Enough to cause a time portal?

00:31:50That's what I'm trying to figure out

00:31:52Some of these theories

00:31:52Think that these large bodies of water

00:31:55In the comets pass

00:31:56Are highly conductive

00:31:57Places like a

00:31:59Bermuda triangle

00:32:00No, that's okay

00:32:01They've been experiencing things like this

00:32:03For centuries

00:32:04So?

00:32:05What's our plan?

00:32:06Right now I don't have one

00:32:07Um

00:32:08But I'm trying to find a name

00:32:10And when it will be visible

00:32:11And until then

00:32:12I'm gonna keep digging

00:32:12So

00:32:14This little box contains

00:32:16All the knowledge of the world

00:32:17Even

00:32:19History?

00:32:21No spoilers

00:32:22I was gonna say

00:32:23The museum

00:32:24Or

00:32:24I apologize

00:32:26Your home

00:32:27Is less than a block from here

00:32:29And I think Christine

00:32:30Needs some help in the ballroom

00:32:31So

00:32:35Uh

00:32:36What?

00:32:37What?

00:32:37What are you doing

00:32:38Uh

00:32:39When we finish up here today?

00:32:40Um

00:32:40Nothing

00:32:41I

00:32:42Something I actually wanted to ask you

00:32:43Do you think

00:32:44Maybe

00:32:45You

00:32:45Am I intruding on a private rendezvous?

00:32:48Um

00:32:48Well I'm stressed

00:32:49I'd heard a

00:32:51Thing

00:32:51I have the centerpieces to make

00:32:55And the ball is in five days

00:32:57And our step back into time theme

00:32:59Is proving harder to pull off than I thought

00:33:01So

00:33:02Well don't be stressed

00:33:03I'll help you

00:33:04But you haven't even been to a Christmas ball yet

00:33:07No

00:33:08But I've been to other balls

00:33:10Men in tuxedos

00:33:12Women in gowns

00:33:14My sculptures

00:33:14Candles

00:33:15Dancing

00:33:16It sounds like the best time

00:33:18No it's dreadful

00:33:19What?

00:33:19You must always be on your best behavior

00:33:21As my father reminds me

00:33:23I must converse cheerfully

00:33:25Never sigh of weariness

00:33:26And always be polite

00:33:28Demure

00:33:29Graceful

00:33:29Never truly myself thus

00:33:31Never really connecting with anyone

00:33:33Oh

00:33:34Well it seems Francis is courting you

00:33:36No

00:33:37Perhaps at the ball

00:33:38You should let your fan do the talking

00:33:40A press against the cheek

00:33:43Signals you love someone

00:33:45Ella you're too much

00:33:47Everything looks and smells divine Christine

00:33:50Well the tradition of the ball started when

00:33:53You'll see

00:33:54But we hand out donation cards

00:33:57People fill them out

00:33:58And then they hang them on the boughs of the tree

00:33:59That's wonderful

00:34:01How many of these do we need to make?

00:34:03A lot

00:34:04Perfect

00:34:32Hello

00:34:33How may I help you?

00:34:34Are you?

00:34:37Are you talking to me?

00:34:38Yes

00:34:39How may I help you?

00:34:43Mm-hmm

00:34:43Show me everything you can about

00:34:46Ella Stewart from Newport, Rhode Island

00:34:48Certainly

00:34:49Finding information about

00:34:50Ella Stewart Grafton

00:34:51Max Grafton

00:34:58Did you know your box talks?

00:35:04Yeah it's called Siri

00:35:07Siri who?

00:35:08See

00:35:08Never mind

00:35:10We said no spoilers

00:35:11So I marry Rex Grafton

00:35:13So I marry Rex Grafton

00:35:13Is that who my father chooses instead of Everett Thornton?

00:35:16You know I can't tell you that

00:35:18I'm sorry

00:35:18Please tell me something

00:35:20We don't know a lot about him

00:35:22Okay we know that he was a navy man

00:35:24My father chose a navy man

00:35:26Is there a portrait of this Rex?

00:35:28You have to stop searching for the future

00:35:30You're gonna be in it soon enough

00:35:33You mean?

00:35:35Can I show you something?

00:35:36Okay

00:35:36Watch

00:35:38Okay

00:35:39I found this while you were out

00:35:42The Christmas comet passes Earth's orbit in December every 20 years

00:35:46But check this out

00:35:47Look at the date in 1905

00:35:48December 18th

00:35:49December 18th

00:35:50That's the night you ended up on my boat

00:35:52That's the comet I saw

00:35:54That's what I was thinking

00:35:55But watch this

00:35:56If this chart right here is correct

00:35:58It's gonna fly by in five days

00:35:59Christmas Eve

00:36:02Christmas Eve

00:36:05But how will I know what time

00:36:08Or where to be

00:36:09That's the only thing I don't have figured out right now

00:36:11But the important thing is

00:36:12We know what day is coming

00:36:13Thank you

00:36:15You're welcome

00:36:19There is one thing I did not tell you about that night

00:36:24Yeah

00:36:25But it is silly

00:36:26Sillier than time travel

00:36:27I guess if you put it that way

00:36:28Right before you appeared on my boat

00:36:32I wished for a different life

00:36:34One where

00:36:36Someone

00:36:37Would fall in love with me

00:36:39Or me

00:36:41That's not silly

00:36:43It's a beautiful thing to wish for

00:36:46Um

00:36:48We should probably go at start soon

00:36:51What is?

00:36:52The perfect thing for someone who loves Christmas as much as you

00:36:55I thought they already did a Christmas tree lighting

00:36:58They did

00:36:59This is actually the beginning week

00:37:00Of all of the holiday festivities in Newport

00:37:03It's a Christmas boat parade

00:37:05A boat parade?

00:37:07Mm-hmm

00:37:07How wonderful

00:37:08Yeah

00:37:09It's a big tradition here

00:37:10Started by Ruth Meyers

00:37:12Who was a local woman

00:37:13Inspired by you

00:37:14All the proceeds go to the giving house

00:37:16We must make sure beneficence is especially pristine

00:37:19I can't say I participate in the boat parade

00:37:22But I do enjoy watching

00:37:23Tell me more about this refusal to participate

00:37:26When did your commitment to a life of isolation begin?

00:37:30Growing up with my dad

00:37:31He was a good man but it was a quiet man

00:37:34Where was that?

00:37:35Florida Keys

00:37:36I probably could sail at the same time I could walk

00:37:38My dad had a boating business

00:37:41So I worked with him

00:37:42And after that I joined the Coast Guard

00:37:44And then from the G.I. Bill I got to pursue my passion in college

00:37:49Which was history

00:37:50And that's where I met Christine

00:37:51She seems like a good friend

00:37:52She's pretty great

00:37:54After drifting around for a while she gave me a full-time job here in Newport

00:37:57How do you like it here?

00:37:59I love it

00:38:00So much

00:38:02Surrounded by water

00:38:04Surrounded by history

00:38:05Definitely a drifter by nature

00:38:08Why is that?

00:38:10I can't say one place ever felt like home

00:38:13I, um, know that feeling well

00:38:17Really?

00:38:18You seem very at home here

00:38:19Over a century later

00:38:20Do I?

00:38:21You do

00:38:22You're too kind

00:38:23My whole life I've been told I'm too much or too loud

00:38:27That no one will ever love me unless I'm a perfect lady

00:38:30If I hadn't long ago committed myself to a life of service above self

00:38:34I might be quite sad to think I never had a real chance to love

00:38:38Well, who's to say that you don't?

00:38:41Or

00:38:41Won't

00:38:43Love, Rex

00:38:45It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas

00:38:55Everywhere you go

00:39:00Take a look in the five-time

00:39:04This sugar snow-covered fried bread is delicious

00:39:07Oh, that parade was marvelous

00:39:10A spectacle of humanity

00:39:12My father would never approve

00:39:14Your father must be worried

00:39:16He'd be gone three days

00:39:17I'm sure he'd be ecstatic to have you back

00:39:19For a moment

00:39:20And then he'd be, as Sadie says

00:39:22Mad as a marge pair

00:39:23I take it you two don't get along?

00:39:25We attempt to

00:39:26We never see eye to eye

00:39:28He always wants me to be his dutiful daughter

00:39:30But I've always been

00:39:32Well

00:39:33Me

00:39:35You ever try talking to him?

00:39:37No, there is no talk

00:39:38He dismisses any discussion before it ever even begins

00:39:41And he always has the final say

00:39:43Like choosing this Rex for me

00:39:46I assure you, Ella

00:39:47You live life as you intend

00:39:49The things you want

00:39:50You make happen

00:39:52And what of you?

00:39:55Of me?

00:39:56What do you wish for your life?

00:39:57I was in love once

00:39:58Or

00:39:59I should say I thought I was

00:40:01Oh?

00:40:02We met when I was working out of port

00:40:04In New York City

00:40:05What was she like?

00:40:07She was great

00:40:07On paper we were a perfect match

00:40:10She was

00:40:10Beautiful

00:40:12And lively

00:40:13And spirited

00:40:14A lot like you, actually

00:40:16But very regimented

00:40:19I wanted the

00:40:20The romance

00:40:21And the moments in between

00:40:22And she wanted the

00:40:23Packed

00:40:24Social calendar

00:40:25And planned date nights

00:40:26And you?

00:40:27If I'm being honest

00:40:32I like to take the days as they come

00:40:35Same

00:40:36That was my whole point

00:40:38I love waking up

00:40:39Not knowing where the day's gonna take me

00:40:42Exactly

00:40:42Getting off work early

00:40:43And

00:40:43Taking a walk on the beach

00:40:46Or

00:40:46Maybe in the rain

00:40:47Sounds delightful

00:40:48It would be

00:40:49As long as it's not 20 degrees

00:40:51I wanted a love for the ages

00:40:54And I

00:40:55Didn't see that with her

00:40:57And I

00:40:57I hope that doesn't sound selfish

00:40:59One should never compromise

00:41:01With one's heart

00:41:01You're very easy to talk to

00:41:04Miss Stewart

00:41:04As are you, Mr. McManny

00:41:06Plotting a course?

00:41:32Hey

00:41:32Um

00:41:33Yeah

00:41:34Something like that

00:41:36Oof

00:41:37Wow

00:41:39A good compass is a sailor's best friend

00:41:41Absolutely

00:41:41So I know the general coordinates

00:41:43Of where you first appeared on the boat

00:41:44Um

00:41:45I figured we'd start there

00:41:46Even if we find the right area

00:41:47There's no guarantee of success

00:41:49Are you worried?

00:41:50I mean

00:41:51There's nothing comforting

00:41:52About being sucked into

00:41:53Christmas time

00:41:54Or

00:41:54Besides

00:41:56I've become

00:41:57Very taken with the future

00:41:59And it's many eccentricities

00:42:02Women in paths

00:42:04Talking encyclopedias

00:42:06Snow-covered fry bread

00:42:07Electric cars

00:42:08A magic I've yet to experience

00:42:10The past needs you

00:42:12I know

00:42:13I made a promise

00:42:15To help the people of Newport

00:42:16And I will

00:42:17Good

00:42:18But what if I can't?

00:42:20What if history

00:42:21Doesn't play out the same way

00:42:22What if I'm not up for the task

00:42:23Or I've somehow altered my fate

00:42:25There's a quote that I really love

00:42:27May those who follow their fate

00:42:28Be granted happiness

00:42:30May those that defy it

00:42:31Be granted forgiveness

00:42:34Abraham Lincoln

00:42:36Really?

00:42:40Mm-hmm

00:42:41Well if we only have a few days left

00:42:43Together in the future

00:42:44We should make the most of it

00:42:46I agree

00:42:47Excuse me miss

00:42:49May we please have

00:42:50Two Christmas cafe lattes

00:42:52With milked oats

00:42:53Oh

00:42:54And with the most ornate version

00:42:55Of a reindeer

00:42:56One can muster

00:42:57You know I probably

00:43:01Should not be doing this

00:43:02But since we've

00:43:03Already disrupted

00:43:04The course of time

00:43:05I thought I should show you

00:43:06Why

00:43:07You need to go back

00:43:09And

00:43:09That's why

00:43:11The giving house

00:43:14Oh

00:43:15Nick

00:43:16Thank you

00:43:19Look

00:43:24Oh wait

00:43:27I've got cash

00:43:28I've got cash

00:43:28Lots of cash

00:43:30Hey Santa

00:43:31Merry Christmas

00:43:33Thank you very much

00:43:34You're welcome

00:43:34Yeah you

00:43:35Hold that

00:43:36Why

00:43:37Because

00:43:38That coin is going to be worth

00:43:41A fortune

00:43:42Actually all the coins are

00:43:44Especially Bitcoin

00:43:45Tell your great grandkids

00:43:47About that one

00:43:47I have a great grandkids

00:43:49No spoilers

00:43:49Ella

00:43:50Oh

00:43:51This is lovely

00:43:54Thanks

00:43:55I can customize it for you

00:43:57If you'd like

00:43:58I suppose the

00:44:00Name I would put on it

00:44:02Is

00:44:02Rex

00:44:04Perhaps you should put

00:44:07Your heart's desire

00:44:08On one

00:44:08Okay so we call that fishing

00:44:10And

00:44:11What my heart desires

00:44:13It wouldn't work

00:44:16In this case

00:44:17Why not

00:44:19You're quite the eligible bachelor

00:44:22And

00:44:22And you're free

00:44:23From the constraints

00:44:24Of my era's matchmaking

00:44:25Modern day dating

00:44:26Is not very easy

00:44:27Maybe there is something

00:44:30To matchmaking

00:44:31Surely not

00:44:32You get to make

00:44:33All of your own choices

00:44:35And that may be

00:44:37But

00:44:37Finding someone

00:44:38You want to spend

00:44:39The rest of your life

00:44:39With

00:44:40A

00:44:40Best friend

00:44:41And

00:44:41Confident

00:44:42That's not easy

00:44:46And I don't care

00:44:47What part of history

00:44:48That you come from

00:44:49I agree

00:44:50That's what my mother

00:44:52Would always say

00:44:52Nay

00:44:53Insist

00:44:54My husband should be

00:44:55Is that what your father

00:44:58Was to her

00:44:58I don't believe so

00:45:00Which is why

00:45:02I think she wanted it

00:45:03For me

00:45:04Ladies and gentlemen

00:45:09Follow me right this way

00:45:10To my favorite room

00:45:11Of the house

00:45:12The atrium

00:45:13Which is actually

00:45:14In addition to the

00:45:15Original structure

00:45:16Built in 1891

00:45:17As a birthday gift

00:45:18From Lord Grafton

00:45:19To Lady Grafton

00:45:20This looks amazing

00:45:22What are you working on?

00:45:23Stringing some popcorn

00:45:24Badly

00:45:24You know what

00:45:26I'm gonna go box up

00:45:26Some of the donations

00:45:27That one of the patrons

00:45:28Dropped off

00:45:28So

00:45:29See you later

00:45:30Nick told me

00:45:32The good news

00:45:33About the comet

00:45:33I'm just excited

00:45:35Because we get to

00:45:36Have you here

00:45:36For a little bit longer

00:45:37Well

00:45:37I look forward to

00:45:39Experiencing your ball

00:45:40You've worked so hard

00:45:42On it

00:45:42Thank you

00:45:43It's been a labor of love

00:45:44But

00:45:45I wish I could have

00:45:46Gone to yours

00:45:47The first ball

00:45:49I also look forward

00:45:50To seeing you

00:45:51And Francis

00:45:52Dance together

00:45:53Oh no no no

00:45:54That's not gonna happen

00:45:56Why not?

00:45:58Because

00:45:58I

00:46:00Maybe love just

00:46:03Isn't in the cards

00:46:03For me

00:46:04You know

00:46:04I've never been

00:46:05Very lucky at it

00:46:06And

00:46:06That's okay

00:46:08You know

00:46:09Maybe some people

00:46:11Are put on this planet

00:46:12To create history

00:46:13Like yourself

00:46:15And some of us

00:46:17Are put here

00:46:18To preserve it

00:46:18Christine

00:46:19You can't possibly

00:46:21Believe that

00:46:22Francis

00:46:24Would be lucky

00:46:25To be with you

00:46:26You're a catch

00:46:27An inspiration

00:46:28A lady boss

00:46:31Right back at you

00:46:33Yes

00:46:34So kind of the museum patrons

00:46:41To donate items

00:46:43Patrons are very

00:46:44Very generous

00:46:45Especially around Christmas time

00:46:46What did they say

00:46:47One man's trash

00:46:48Is another man's treasure

00:46:49Sounds like something

00:46:50I'd say

00:46:50I know

00:46:51Hey thanks again

00:46:53For the compass

00:46:53Sure

00:46:53That man

00:46:57Who is he?

00:46:59Oh

00:47:00Old coast guard buddy

00:47:01Adam Waters

00:47:01He looked

00:47:03Familiar

00:47:04Maybe he knew

00:47:05Like his

00:47:05Great

00:47:06Great

00:47:07Grandpa

00:47:07Kel

00:47:17Kel

00:47:17The spruce

00:47:18Goes in the ballroom

00:47:19Just there

00:47:19Would you be able

00:47:20To help with hanging it?

00:47:21And Ned

00:47:22If you could finish

00:47:22The popcorn garland

00:47:23That would be amazing

00:47:24Remember

00:47:25The popcorn is for decorating

00:47:26Not for eating

00:47:27Who are all these people?

00:47:29Volunteers

00:47:29Turned friends

00:47:30Oh

00:47:30The Christmas ball

00:47:31Is in three days

00:47:33So we need all the help

00:47:34We can get

00:47:34Right

00:47:35I figured until I return home

00:47:37I can assist

00:47:38In preserving my legacy

00:47:39I come bearing frosting

00:47:40Do we still need to make

00:47:42A gingerbread house?

00:47:43Yes

00:47:43Perhaps we can all do it together?

00:47:44Love a good gingerbread house

00:47:46Cooper

00:47:46Let me help you

00:47:47With the glassware

00:47:48I wish I had her optimism

00:47:51So it looks like

00:47:53Ella's been a big help

00:47:53With the ball

00:47:54Yes

00:47:55Ella has

00:47:56Hi

00:47:57Christine

00:47:58Why does the mentioning

00:47:59Of Ella's name

00:48:00Seem to bring you

00:48:00Palpable distress?

00:48:01You know

00:48:02All the obvious reasons

00:48:03Her portrait is blank

00:48:05Her plaque is gone

00:48:06And now

00:48:07Her biography

00:48:08Is just scrap paper

00:48:10What's next to disappear?

00:48:12The giving house?

00:48:13I love having her here

00:48:15But I also know

00:48:16She has to go back

00:48:17In all the history books

00:48:19It says that Rex

00:48:20Is the one

00:48:20That brings her back

00:48:21Right?

00:48:21Yeah I know

00:48:22And I still don't see

00:48:23How that's possible

00:48:24What are you looking for?

00:48:29Oh

00:48:29Uh

00:48:30Nick said Rex was

00:48:32Is

00:48:33A Navy man

00:48:34So

00:48:35There must be something

00:48:36About him

00:48:37A graduation photo

00:48:38A portrait

00:48:39Even a sentence

00:48:41Or a blurb

00:48:41Would be helpful

00:48:42We've looked

00:48:43We've scoured these books

00:48:44He has no footprint

00:48:45Oh

00:48:46I know

00:48:46But there must be something

00:48:47The talking encyclopedia

00:48:49Told me that he was born

00:48:50In 1874

00:48:52So he must have been

00:48:53In the Navy

00:48:541892 and on

00:48:56We followed that lead

00:48:58And the only unidentified photo

00:49:00We have from that time

00:49:03Is

00:49:03Yeah

00:49:04Oh that man

00:49:06There

00:49:07My father bought my boat

00:49:08Beneficence from him

00:49:09Only I don't remember his name

00:49:11Could that be Rex?

00:49:14My future husband?

00:49:17No I don't think so

00:49:18I remember him being

00:49:20A working class type

00:49:21Not the kind my father

00:49:23Would choose for me

00:49:23I bet Nick would enjoy

00:49:25Seeing the boat's original owner

00:49:26I'll show him

00:49:27I'll go check on things

00:49:28Alright

00:49:29I'll be along in a moment

00:49:30Before you hear it from her

00:49:35I tried to help Ella

00:49:36Find info on Rex

00:49:37But no dice

00:49:38You're jealous aren't you?

00:49:42No I'm not

00:49:42Why would I be jealous of Rex?

00:49:44Oh come on

00:49:45It's obvious you have a thing for Ella

00:49:47Sorry Bob

00:49:48It is painfully obvious

00:49:49Of course I do

00:49:51How could I not?

00:49:52I mean she's effervescent

00:49:53She's hilarious

00:49:54She's gorgeous

00:49:55She's a bright light

00:49:56That fills every room

00:49:56And she makes every situation better

00:49:58That felt really good

00:49:59But it doesn't matter

00:50:00Because of all the

00:50:01Extinguished circumstances

00:50:02Okay?

00:50:02Like what?

00:50:03What do you mean like what?

00:50:05The fact that she lacks

00:50:06A social security number?

00:50:07The fact that she lives

00:50:08In another century?

00:50:08Which gives new meaning

00:50:09To a long distance relationship

00:50:11How about the fact

00:50:12That she's a time traveler

00:50:13Destined to marry another man?

00:50:15So yes Christine

00:50:15It's mildly complicated

00:50:17Pick a hand

00:50:23A little gift

00:50:29For you

00:50:30This is great

00:50:31When did you do this?

00:50:32Last night

00:50:33When I couldn't sleep

00:50:34I thought we could hang it

00:50:35On the mantle

00:50:35With the stocking

00:50:36My mother made for me

00:50:37Oh she taught me

00:50:38How to knit and crochet

00:50:39We'd make stockings

00:50:41And mittens

00:50:41For the people of Newport

00:50:42For her

00:50:43Christmas was a time

00:50:45To give back

00:50:45It's clear where you

00:50:47Get your generous spirit from

00:50:48Perhaps

00:50:49My mother

00:50:50Came from nothing

00:50:53She met my father

00:50:55And she was swept

00:50:56Into a life of privilege

00:50:58She could only dream of

00:50:59Though

00:51:00I fear it was

00:51:01Self-sacrificial

00:51:02I believe she married

00:51:04My father

00:51:04So she could

00:51:05Pull her family

00:51:06Out of poverty

00:51:06That's why your father

00:51:08Wanted you to marry Everett

00:51:09He was trying to protect you

00:51:10He saw how

00:51:12How hard your mother's life was

00:51:14And

00:51:14The choices that she had to make

00:51:16Well what do we do now?

00:51:18Do you want to watch

00:51:19A Christmas movie?

00:51:20A moving picture?

00:51:21Mm-hmm

00:51:22But how?

00:51:23The TV of course

00:51:24Yeah

00:51:25Watch

00:51:26Think of it as a lot of

00:51:27Moving pictures

00:51:28In this black box

00:51:30Fascinating

00:51:31Right?

00:51:33Would you like some wine?

00:51:34Yes please

00:51:34So what was your favorite

00:51:36Christmas movie of your time?

00:51:37Oh

00:51:38Santa Claus

00:51:39The first Christmas movie

00:51:40Ever made

00:51:41Oh it's absolute

00:51:42Perfection

00:51:43One minute and 17 seconds of it

00:51:46Wow

00:51:47Well our Christmas movies today

00:51:49Are much longer

00:51:51And there's much more of them

00:51:53Shall we?

00:51:56What's your favorite Christmas movie?

00:51:59Hands down

00:52:00It's a wonderful life

00:52:02Which actually

00:52:04Reminds me a lot of you

00:52:06Why?

00:52:07Well because

00:52:08It's about

00:52:09A person

00:52:10With a good heart

00:52:12Trying to make a big difference

00:52:13And also

00:52:15Creating happiness

00:52:16No matter where you are

00:52:18Strange isn't it?

00:52:20Each man's life

00:52:21Touches so many other lives

00:52:22But when he isn't around

00:52:25He leaves an awful hole

00:52:27Doesn't he?

00:52:28Will I

00:52:31Leave an awful big hole

00:52:33When I'm gone

00:52:34You will be missed

00:52:35But everyone will know

00:52:39That you're living the life

00:52:40You should

00:52:40And they will be happy

00:52:45For you and Rex

00:52:45What if I don't love him?

00:52:49Do you remember the day

00:52:49That you went to the study

00:52:50And you saw the portrait

00:52:51Of yourself for the first time?

00:52:53And Christine said

00:52:54That there was

00:52:54Mysterious wonder

00:52:56Around your smile

00:52:57And you said

00:52:58Because you were happy

00:52:59What of it?

00:53:01It's because I think

00:53:02And I have always thought

00:53:03That that was the very first time

00:53:07You

00:53:08Were ever in love

00:53:11I understand you

00:53:16Found an original

00:53:17Photo of the owner

00:53:18Of the Gilded Age

00:53:19Oh

00:53:20Yes

00:53:22Let's see

00:53:24Here

00:53:25On the right

00:53:26This man?

00:53:29Are you sure?

00:53:30Yes, I'm sure

00:53:31I never forget a face

00:53:32And I just bought

00:53:33The beneficence from him

00:53:34Two years ago

00:53:35This is just a

00:53:36Tad odd

00:53:37Because this looks similar

00:53:39To the Coast Guard officer

00:53:41That you said

00:53:42Looked familiar

00:53:43Adam Waters

00:53:43Hmm

00:53:45I bought

00:53:46The Gilded Age

00:53:47From him

00:53:48Uh

00:53:58Ella

00:53:59I can't be allowed

00:54:02To say this again

00:54:02I know

00:54:03I know

00:54:03No spoilers

00:54:05Only this time

00:54:06I'm not looking for me

00:54:07I'm looking for Adam Waters

00:54:08Hitting it

00:54:09Doesn't do anything

00:54:10I've tried that many times

00:54:12Um

00:54:13Use the mouse

00:54:14To

00:54:14Oh no

00:54:15Jesus

00:54:15No

00:54:16This

00:54:17This is

00:54:19This is called a mouse

00:54:20I didn't know

00:54:21I know

00:54:22I know

00:54:22Okay

00:54:23So

00:54:23You use the mouse

00:54:25The mouse moves the arrow

00:54:26And you go up to the search bar

00:54:28I did that

00:54:28But then you click here

00:54:29With this

00:54:30Oh

00:54:31Now type in your search word

00:54:33Go ahead

00:54:35Type it in

00:54:35This alphabet is all out of order

00:54:38That is true

00:54:39Okay

00:54:40Now hit

00:54:41When you're done

00:54:42Hit enter

00:54:42What up

00:54:46Nick

00:54:47Look

00:54:49They're nearly identical

00:54:50They really are

00:54:51Wow

00:54:52Maybe that's like his great grandson

00:54:54Or something

00:54:54Or maybe he knows something

00:54:56Adam did look at me

00:54:57In quite a peculiar manner

00:54:58I just thought you were really pretty

00:55:00Or um

00:55:04Well I'm going to

00:55:07Pin a letter

00:55:07Formally requesting his presence for tea

00:55:09I'll send it by courier

00:55:11We also could just go to the marina

00:55:13Where he usually hangs out

00:55:14Oh

00:55:15Thank you for walking with me

00:55:19What is this feeling

00:55:20My head's in a tizzy

00:55:22And my heart is pounding

00:55:23Ah it couldn't be fate

00:55:25Could it

00:55:25Hey Adam

00:55:30We were just coming to see you

00:55:32Oh

00:55:33Nick

00:55:33Good to see you

00:55:34How you doing

00:55:34Good to see you

00:55:35How do you do

00:55:36Ella Stewart

00:55:37Ah

00:55:38Rex

00:55:39Rex Crafton

00:55:42So it was you

00:55:48Who sold the beneficence to me

00:55:50Wasn't it

00:55:51Yes

00:55:52As I remember it

00:55:54Your father was tied up on business

00:55:55So you came in his stead

00:55:57I knew I recognized you

00:55:59Only you look different now

00:56:01Older

00:56:02Then my father sent you to rescue me

00:56:05Yes

00:56:06I was a navy man

00:56:07Known for my navigational skills

00:56:08The night you disappeared

00:56:10Your father sent a courier

00:56:11Asking me to set out

00:56:12To find you immediately

00:56:13I couldn't have been more than an hour behind you

00:56:16And

00:56:16That's when I saw it

00:56:19A comet

00:56:21Unlike anything I'd ever seen

00:56:23Then you ended up here

00:56:25Yes

00:56:26At first I didn't realize anything had happened

00:56:29Except that I was back on course to Newport

00:56:30But when I got here

00:56:31I discovered it was 2005

00:56:34And you've been stuck here ever since

00:56:36Yes

00:56:37Did you ever try to get back?

00:56:43Yes

00:56:43In the beginning I was desperate

00:56:46If a comet was mentioned in the news

00:56:48I got out on the water

00:56:49But no luck

00:56:50After some research

00:56:51I realized that it wasn't just any comet

00:56:53That could get me back home

00:56:54But

00:56:54Christmas comet

00:56:55Yes

00:56:56The Christmas comet

00:56:57Is the only one that comes close enough

00:56:59To Earth's orbit

00:57:00Somehow it

00:57:01Interacts with certain bodies of water

00:57:04And is only available for

00:57:06About a two hour window

00:57:08And the fact it only comes once every 20 years

00:57:10I discovered there was

00:57:11No chance of getting back

00:57:13Until right now

00:57:15I'm so sorry

00:57:17I

00:57:19It's all my fault

00:57:21No

00:57:21Don't apologize

00:57:23Because the longer I was here

00:57:24The more I wanted to stay

00:57:27Can I ask

00:57:29Who sold you the Gilded Age?

00:57:30It was left to me

00:57:31I don't know by whom

00:57:33But

00:57:33About a decade after I got here

00:57:35I got a letter

00:57:35Instructing me to head down to the shipyard

00:57:37I was given the title to the boat

00:57:40With

00:57:40One caveat

00:57:41What?

00:57:43One day I had to sell it

00:57:45To Nick

00:57:47Hmm?

00:57:49Then

00:57:49Who wrote the letter?

00:57:52I don't know

00:57:52Was it

00:57:54My father?

00:57:56Was it he who

00:57:57Who arranged for us to marry?

00:58:01Okay

00:58:02I can give you guys some privacy

00:58:03No

00:58:03Again

00:58:04I

00:58:05I don't know

00:58:05I haven't been back since I left that evening

00:58:07But

00:58:08I'm

00:58:09Aware

00:58:10The history books say that we marry

00:58:12You know the

00:58:13Christmas comet next appears in two days

00:58:17On Christmas Eve

00:58:18Uh

00:58:19I'm so sorry

00:58:21I have work to do

00:58:22I'll see you out

00:58:24Um

00:58:27So

00:58:28I just met my husband

00:58:30And it was a crushing disappointment

00:58:32What about the spark my mother always told me about

00:58:36Maybe you two just need some time

00:58:38True love doesn't take time

00:58:40This was supposed to be love at first sight

00:58:43The start of forever

00:58:44Nick

00:58:45Be honest with me

00:58:47I am being given the chance to

00:58:50Rewrite history

00:58:52Should I take it?

00:58:55I think

00:58:56I didn't ask what you think

00:58:58I asked what you feel

00:59:00I feel that in a world that makes very little sense

00:59:04That everything happens for a reason

00:59:07I believe that everything

00:59:08Is exactly how it's supposed to be

00:59:11I also believe that all of the history books

00:59:16Cannot

00:59:17Be wrong

00:59:18So you do feel

00:59:20I should marry him

00:59:21Nick filled me in about Adam

00:59:36Oh yes

00:59:37I'm certain the fates are having a laugh at us

00:59:39Do you want to talk about it?

00:59:41What is there to say?

00:59:43Except

00:59:43I guess

00:59:45Whatever will be

00:59:46Will be

00:59:46Are those the cards the guests will place on the tree?

00:59:50Yeah

00:59:50And

00:59:52How did that tradition start?

00:59:55Just let it play out, Ella

00:59:56How am I supposed to let it just play out?

01:00:00Leave my fate to my father's picking?

01:00:03Just allow myself to marry Rex?

01:00:06Who knows

01:00:06Maybe he grows on you

01:00:08I know myself

01:00:10I know my gut

01:00:11By the first time I

01:00:14I know what it feels like

01:00:18To fall in love with someone

01:00:19Someone in particular?

01:00:21No

01:00:21It doesn't matter

01:00:24The history books are pretty clear

01:00:26That I marry Rex

01:00:27To think I will have tasted love

01:00:30And then have to live a life without it

01:00:31Ella

01:00:34I really shouldn't be telling you this

01:00:36And I'll probably cause like

01:00:38Total dimensional fracture

01:00:40Oh, I'm pretty sure the damage is already done

01:00:41In the history books

01:00:43And family accounts

01:00:44And local legend

01:00:45Rex is the one that finds you at sea

01:00:48He brings you home

01:00:50And the two of you fall madly in love

01:00:52So

01:00:52You will love Rex

01:00:55And it'll be a love for the ages

01:00:59Adam

01:01:12It was just on my way to see you

01:01:19Yes

01:01:20I've also been meaning to come by

01:01:22I just wasn't sure what to say

01:01:23Why don't we talk

01:01:25Someplace out of the cold

01:01:26I've been thinking of you

01:01:29How it must have felt

01:01:30These last 20 years

01:01:31I feel responsible

01:01:34I took you from your home

01:01:36But I am home

01:01:39No, I mean your home in the past

01:01:41But it's okay

01:01:42I think I know how I can get you back

01:01:44Why would I want to do that?

01:01:45I have a life here

01:01:46I have a sense of purpose

01:01:47And community

01:01:48And even if we try

01:01:50There's no guarantee

01:01:51No, but we have to try

01:01:52Adam

01:01:54There's so much at stake

01:01:57Look around you

01:01:58This could all be affected

01:02:00And I fear if we don't go back

01:02:02I won't be able to fulfill my legacy

01:02:03And if I do go with you

01:02:05I fear I won't fulfill mine

01:02:06Look, I understand your concern

01:02:08I do

01:02:09But when I lived in our time

01:02:11I was adrift

01:02:12I didn't feel at home

01:02:13I had no friends or family

01:02:15And for a long while

01:02:16I wished for a

01:02:17A different life

01:02:17Yes

01:02:18I have a wonderful life here

01:02:20Why would I want to give all that up

01:02:22To go back to 1905

01:02:24Call it fate or luck

01:02:25Or whatever

01:02:26But whatever happened

01:02:27With us

01:02:28With that comet

01:02:29It was meant to be

01:02:30Perhaps

01:02:31You're meant to do it on your own

01:02:33To rewrite history

01:02:34If you believe in your dream

01:02:36And your vision for it

01:02:37Everything will work out

01:02:40But then why am I here?

01:02:44I wish I knew

01:02:45Thank you so much for your time

01:02:53Merry Christmas

01:02:56Hey

01:02:56I was looking for you

01:02:57Oh, hi

01:02:59What, uh

01:03:00How are you doing?

01:03:02I discovered

01:03:03The Giving House

01:03:03Does events with the coffee shop

01:03:05During the holidays

01:03:05To raise awareness

01:03:06I, um

01:03:08Wanted to take my mind

01:03:10Off everything

01:03:10So I decided

01:03:12To show the volunteers

01:03:13A little gratitude

01:03:13And did some Christmas shopping

01:03:15Nice

01:03:16Nice

01:03:17Where, uh

01:03:18Where'd you get the money?

01:03:20Oh

01:03:20The gold coins I have

01:03:21Yeah

01:03:22You're right

01:03:23Turns out they're worth a fortune

01:03:24Hey, Ella

01:03:25I got you this

01:03:27Thank you

01:03:28Nick

01:03:28This is one of our volunteers

01:03:30Ada

01:03:30Hi

01:03:31Hi

01:03:31Named after her great-grandmother

01:03:33Oh, wow

01:03:34I was just telling Ella

01:03:35That the Giving House

01:03:36Helped my great-grandmother

01:03:38Secure a home

01:03:38And find a better job

01:03:39Her family became

01:03:40One of the most prosperous

01:03:41In Newport

01:03:42And still one of the largest

01:03:43Contributors

01:03:44To The Giving House

01:03:44That's great

01:03:45Come on

01:03:46Let's take a walk

01:03:47Sure

01:03:47Nice meeting

01:03:48What a perfect night

01:03:50You seem energized

01:03:51Look, I was thinking

01:03:53We talked to Adam

01:03:54I've spoken to him

01:03:54And?

01:03:56Well, you've decided

01:03:57To stay here

01:03:57I think I should too

01:03:59Wouldn't it be grand?

01:04:02No

01:04:02Why not?

01:04:04There's a world

01:04:05Of good I can do

01:04:06Here in 2025

01:04:07No

01:04:08They meet you

01:04:13Ada

01:04:15Needs you

01:04:16The Giving House

01:04:17Would not exist

01:04:18If you think of

01:04:19All the people

01:04:19You've helped

01:04:20Not to mention

01:04:21You have an entire

01:04:22You have an entire

01:04:25Life waiting for you

01:04:26With Rex

01:04:26Nicholas McManny

01:04:28Do you not have

01:04:30Any feelings for me?

01:04:30Of course

01:04:31I have feelings for me

01:04:31Then why are you

01:04:32So set on

01:04:33Pushing me

01:04:34Into the arms

01:04:35Of another man?

01:04:35Because it's

01:04:35The right thing

01:04:36To do

01:04:37That sometimes

01:04:39Caring about someone

01:04:41Means letting them go

01:04:43Sometimes caring

01:04:44For someone

01:04:44Means fighting for them

01:04:45Ella

01:04:45What will you fight for?

01:04:47What will you love?

01:04:48If not me

01:04:49If not this

01:04:49Then what?

01:04:50It's not the way

01:05:01It's supposed to be

01:05:02Listen I'm gonna do

01:05:04Everything I can

01:05:05To help you

01:05:07Get back home

01:05:07What about you Nick?

01:05:11When will you

01:05:12Ever be home?

01:05:15Ella

01:05:15Mind if I join you?

01:05:32Yes

01:05:32You're actually

01:05:33Saving me a trip

01:05:33I was about to

01:05:35Come find you

01:05:35One of those please

01:05:36Thank you

01:05:40I uh

01:05:42Spoke with Ella

01:05:45Last night

01:05:45If you're going to

01:05:49Try to convince me

01:05:49To go back

01:05:50I'll tell you

01:05:50The same thing

01:05:51I told Ella

01:05:51I have a life here

01:05:53In 1905

01:05:55Both my parents

01:05:56Have passed

01:05:57I was an only child

01:05:58And the few people

01:05:58I know in Newport

01:05:59Are all gone

01:06:00If you don't

01:06:01Catch that portal

01:06:02And the comet

01:06:04Passes by

01:06:04You two are both

01:06:05Stuck here

01:06:05For another 20 years

01:06:06Would that be so bad?

01:06:07Yes

01:06:08Yes it would

01:06:08Adam or Rex

01:06:09Or whoever you are

01:06:10You have to go back

01:06:11With Ella

01:06:12We have no chemistry

01:06:13Then build some chemistry

01:06:14I promise you

01:06:15If you get to know her

01:06:16There's no chance

01:06:18You are not going to

01:06:18Fall for her

01:06:19Come to the ball

01:06:20Come to the ball

01:06:22And then you both

01:06:23Can sail away together

01:06:24To a time

01:06:25Where I've been gone

01:06:25For seven days

01:06:26Yet I'm 20 years older

01:06:28To do what?

01:06:29Enjoy all the

01:06:29Turn of the century

01:06:30Comforts and a few

01:06:31World wars?

01:06:32What would I even

01:06:33Do there Nick?

01:06:34You would love

01:06:35And you would be

01:06:36Loved

01:06:37By an amazing woman

01:06:38Look the thing is

01:06:41I already have

01:06:43An amazing woman

01:06:44Her name is Maven

01:06:46And we're engaged

01:06:47To be married this summer

01:06:48Does Ella know this?

01:06:53Look I want to help her

01:06:55And I believe I have a way

01:06:57To make sure she finds

01:06:58The correct location

01:06:58Come on let me show you something

01:07:00Okay

01:07:01I believe the Christmas comet

01:07:02Will be visible over Newport

01:07:04Starting at 10pm

01:07:05So in theory

01:07:06That's when the two hour

01:07:07Window would begin

01:07:08Yes

01:07:08The one thing that bothers me

01:07:10Is why did Ella and I

01:07:12Both see the same comet

01:07:13But come out

01:07:14In different time periods

01:07:15I think

01:07:16It's because we were both

01:07:17At different coordinates

01:07:18When we entered the portal

01:07:19Do you remember

01:07:20The coordinates you found her at?

01:07:21Yeah it was

01:07:2241 degrees longitude

01:07:24By minus 71 latitude

01:07:25Okay

01:07:27If every section

01:07:29Of this protractor

01:07:29Is 10 years

01:07:30Right

01:07:31With 1905 Newport

01:07:32Being at zero

01:07:33So then 120

01:07:3420 years into the future

01:07:36Would match the exact coordinates

01:07:37Where Ella appeared

01:07:38Yes

01:07:39Now

01:07:40I came in

01:07:41At these coordinates

01:07:42Here

01:07:43Which would signify

01:07:44100 years

01:07:44It's 2005

01:07:46It's 20 years earlier

01:07:49Based on where you were

01:07:50In the water

01:07:50That means

01:07:51That if she stays the course

01:07:53On Christmas Eve

01:07:54And sails to the coordinates

01:07:55That you just gave me

01:07:56That should be her best chance

01:07:58Of getting back

01:07:59To 1905

01:08:00Nick there's something else

01:08:06I didn't tell you

01:08:06What's that?

01:08:08That in addition to

01:08:09Selling you the boat

01:08:10I also had to make sure

01:08:11On December 18th

01:08:132025

01:08:13Just before dusk

01:08:15I somehow

01:08:16Get you out to sea

01:08:17It's the rescue

01:08:18You sent me

01:08:19There was no rescue

01:08:20I was just following

01:08:22The orders from the letter

01:08:23Look

01:08:25I'll meet you both

01:08:27At the ball

01:08:27And I'll make sure

01:08:28She gets off safe

01:08:29But that's all

01:08:29I can promise

01:08:30I'm not going back

01:08:32You look beautiful

01:08:59Look at you

01:09:00I've never worn a dress

01:09:07Like this before

01:09:08You look amazing

01:09:09Guess where I got it

01:09:10Nordstrom Rack

01:09:12You're gorgeous

01:09:13Oh Christine

01:09:14This is stunning

01:09:17Thank you

01:09:17Look

01:09:18Look at what you've accomplished

01:09:20I'm so proud of you

01:09:23It's all because of you

01:09:25Anything that I am

01:09:27Is because of women like you

01:09:28Who paved the way

01:09:29You're going to make me cry

01:09:32Oh

01:09:34I have a gift for you

01:09:36From the past

01:09:36Oh

01:09:37I think it will prove useful

01:09:38Oh my goodness

01:09:41It's beautiful

01:09:43Remember

01:09:43A press against the cheek

01:09:45Signals you love someone

01:09:46No

01:09:47So when you don't know

01:09:48What to say

01:09:49Let your fan do the talking

01:09:50Thank you

01:09:51Thank you

01:09:52Now

01:09:54How much time do we have

01:09:57I set sail at 10 o'clock

01:09:58Then let's make the most of it

01:10:02Yes

01:10:02Let's

01:10:03Hi

01:10:09You clean up nice

01:10:11I was going to say

01:10:13The same thing about you

01:10:14Say

01:10:16Did you ever learn

01:10:17About Victorian fan signals

01:10:19Yeah

01:10:19Women use them

01:10:21To convey secret messages

01:10:22Right

01:10:23Yes

01:10:23Yeah

01:10:23So

01:10:24An open fan

01:10:26To the side

01:10:27Means that you want

01:10:28Someone to wait for you

01:10:29And a fan

01:10:30Pressed against the cheek

01:10:32Means that you love

01:10:32Fancy someone

01:10:33And a closed fan

01:10:36To the heart

01:10:37Means that you won

01:10:38The person's love

01:10:38You know what my favorite one was

01:10:41What's that one mean

01:10:48That you want to be kissed

01:11:18What do you think

01:11:27I think

01:11:29That never

01:11:30In the middle of history

01:11:32Has anyone met more beautiful

01:11:35Careful

01:11:37I might swoon again

01:11:39I might catch you

01:11:40Any word from Adam

01:11:43No

01:11:44We have to go

01:11:47Why

01:11:48I thought we said 10 o'clock

01:11:50We did

01:11:51But

01:11:51I want to make sure

01:11:52You get off safe

01:11:53Isn't there time for

01:11:57One dance

01:11:59Before we go

01:12:00I think so

01:12:03You seem sad

01:12:12I am

01:12:15A bit

01:12:17Why

01:12:19You get to go home

01:12:24Nick

01:12:26The question still stands

01:12:29When will you

01:12:32Ever be home

01:12:33When I kissed you

01:12:37That moment

01:12:40I was

01:12:44Home

01:12:44Adam

01:12:50Adam

01:12:50This is my fiance

01:12:52Maven

01:12:53Hi

01:12:55It's nice to meet you

01:12:57Ella

01:12:57It's nice to meet you

01:12:58Maven

01:12:58The giving house

01:13:09The giving house doesn't exist

01:13:09This is all my fault

01:13:12We can fix this

01:13:14We have to go now

01:13:15Okay

01:13:16Okay

01:13:16Let's go

01:13:20Bye

01:13:21I'm sorry to disappoint you

01:13:30I'm sorry to disappoint you

01:13:30Ella

01:13:30But you must understand

01:13:32My home is here

01:13:33I understand

01:13:34I do

01:13:36Maven is a lucky woman

01:13:43Goodbye

01:13:46Goodbye

01:13:46Adam

01:13:46Goodbye

01:13:47I uh

01:13:58Think this is what I'm supposed to tell you

01:14:01That

01:14:02Things will never be the same

01:14:04Without you here

01:14:05But in this case

01:14:08It needs to be

01:14:09I hope you think of me

01:14:11Only every day

01:14:12Everything you've done here

01:14:16Everything you've inspired

01:14:17And I'm very thankful

01:14:19That all will have been worth it

01:14:23Just to have known you

01:14:27To have been home with you

01:14:31And I have something for you

01:14:34Nothing big

01:14:36Just maybe you can

01:14:37Put in your secret ornament collection

01:14:40If not, it can be a souvenir from the future

01:14:45With you

01:14:47Always

01:14:49I'll cherish it

01:14:52You have to go

01:15:22You have to go

01:15:52Why did you let me meet the man of my dreams

01:16:16Only to make it

01:16:19Impossible

01:16:21For us to be together

01:16:22I'm ready to go home now

01:16:26I know what love is

01:16:30And I'm ready to share it with others

01:16:33Welcome home, Ella

01:16:42Ada

01:16:48Miss Ella

01:16:49By God's grace

01:16:51You're home

01:16:52We prayed for you

01:16:53Your prayers worked

01:16:54Thank you

01:16:57For giving me a reason to come home

01:16:59If I may

01:17:01What day is it?

01:17:03Why, it's Christmas Eve, ma'am

01:17:04Use this for your Christmas dinner

01:17:06Oh

01:17:06And all else will fall into place

01:17:08I promise

01:17:09How can I ever repay your kindness

01:17:10By doing the same for others

01:17:12When you are able

01:17:12Merry Christmas

01:17:15Merry Christmas, Miss Ella

01:17:16Mr. Edward Benson

01:17:31And Mrs. Edith Benson

01:17:33Still no sign of Miss Ella, sir

01:17:36I can't feign joy when my Ella is still missing

01:17:40Another tree?

01:17:44We made that an Ella's name

01:17:46She intended to start a proper charity

01:17:49To help this community

01:17:50And we see it as a fitting way

01:17:52To welcome her home

01:17:53Much of Newport has already donated

01:17:56Whatever they can

01:17:57Bless you, Sadie

01:17:59Sadie!

01:18:08Thank heavens

01:18:13We feared the worst

01:18:14It's good to be home

01:18:15His father

01:18:17Greeting the guests

01:18:18Yes

01:18:19He's been so worried

01:18:20I placed your gown upstairs

01:18:22With the faith that you would return home

01:18:24I'll be right up to help you dress

01:18:26Thank you, sweetie

01:18:26I'd like to thank you all for coming

01:18:32It is with a heavy heart

01:18:38That I must announce that

01:18:40My dear Ella

01:18:43Is not

01:18:44Oh

01:18:46Oh, my child

01:18:53Father

01:18:54I was so worried

01:18:56I thought I'd lost you

01:18:58I was lost

01:18:59But I found my way back

01:19:01Come, my dear

01:19:02We have much to celebrate

01:19:04Everett Thornton is here

01:19:06And is very eager to meet you

01:19:09Father

01:19:09I must speak with you

01:19:12In private?

01:19:15Of course

01:19:16Everybody, please

01:19:19Enjoy yourselves

01:19:21What's happening here?

01:19:26What's happening

01:19:26Is that

01:19:27I have seen the life

01:19:29That waits for me

01:19:30And I want it

01:19:32I owe it to others

01:19:34To myself

01:19:36I cannot

01:19:40Marry Everett Thornton

01:19:42But

01:19:43You haven't even met him

01:19:44He's come all this way

01:19:46You've always wanted me

01:19:48To be someone

01:19:48I am not

01:19:49But I understand now

01:19:52It stems from worry

01:19:53Of course I worry

01:19:55I love you

01:19:57I know you do

01:19:58Right now

01:20:00It

01:20:00It might not seem

01:20:02That I can be both

01:20:03Who you want me to be

01:20:04And

01:20:05Who I'm destined to be

01:20:06I think that we'll find

01:20:09In time

01:20:10They're the same person

01:20:13Father

01:20:14If I am to marry

01:20:16It must

01:20:17Be for love

01:20:18And

01:20:20I'm starting my charity

01:20:22I hope to do both

01:20:25With your blessing

01:20:25And

01:20:26Do you

01:20:27Have

01:20:28Someone you love?

01:20:30May I present to you

01:20:31Mr. Rex

01:20:32Grafton

01:20:33How did you?

01:20:45It's quite the story

01:20:46And you are

01:20:48Father

01:20:48May I present

01:20:50Rex Grafton

01:20:53The man who rescued me

01:20:57Ah

01:20:59You're the navigator

01:21:01Sir

01:21:01You found her

01:21:03My eternal thanks

01:21:05What can I ever do

01:21:06To repay you

01:21:07It was my honor sir

01:21:09Bath stands

01:21:13Yes

01:21:16Wait Christine

01:21:40Look

01:21:41I hope that means

01:21:43She got home safely

01:21:44Hi

01:21:47I'm so sorry to interrupt

01:21:49But um

01:21:49I was told to give this to you

01:21:51On the stroke of midnight

01:21:52On Christmas Eve

01:21:53It's been in my family's

01:21:56Lockbox for generations

01:21:57I can't believe we finally

01:21:58Get to see what's inside

01:21:59You are full of surprises

01:22:12Rex Grafton

01:22:13How is this possible?

01:22:17When I left you at that dock

01:22:19I realized that if Adam

01:22:21Was not going to accompany you

01:22:22On the journey

01:22:23I could

01:22:24I got a boat

01:22:25And I followed you

01:22:26And I got to thinking

01:22:27He said his parents

01:22:29Had passed

01:22:29He was an only child

01:22:31He wasn't from here

01:22:33He had no relatives

01:22:34To speak of

01:22:35And my father never met him

01:22:37Except my courier

01:22:38Correct

01:22:38So

01:22:39Maybe he was the Rex Grafton

01:22:42That was sent out

01:22:43But I

01:22:44Was the Rex Grafton

01:22:46That brought you home

01:22:47So therefore

01:22:47It was you

01:22:49It was always you

01:22:52Yeah

01:22:53So

01:22:57We

01:23:00Are to marry?

01:23:01If you'll have me

01:23:02If not

01:23:04I'll be stuck here

01:23:04For another 20 years

01:23:06You had me at Rex Grafton

01:23:10Merry Christmas Eve
