00:00:00It's a good day for saving the Christmas ranch
00:00:30There's no better place, I know
00:00:34To give your heart a million times, love
00:00:37So come hop to me, or we can't lose it
00:00:41Hey, hey, here we go
00:00:44Let's come together
00:00:45Whatever we're going to do
00:00:47Call Steve, make sure he fixes the railing on the front side
00:00:59Steps before someone falls
00:01:01Oh, and take Nibbles out of the petting zoo
00:01:08The irony isn't funny anymore
00:01:10That goat has issues
00:01:13Morning team
00:01:25Good morning
00:01:26Hey
00:01:26Ah, Maria, whatever you did with those pancakes yesterday
00:01:30I guess I'd have them sent
00:01:31Talk to George about fixing Blitzen's gates
00:01:36The third time he got out this week
00:01:37Oh, Marco, I've got your mom's birthday present in my office
00:01:40Make sure you pick it up before you leave, okay?
00:01:41Sure
00:01:42Double confirm with Drew
00:01:46That he knows that the hay delivery is for noon and not three
00:01:49Okay
00:01:50Connor in the chimney and room
00:01:53Bathroom sink in 1240
00:01:54Good morning, George
00:01:57Oh, hi, Carrie
00:01:58Did you get all the messages I sent you last night?
00:02:00Let's see
00:02:01Yeah, all 12 of them
00:02:02Oh, I'm so sorry
00:02:03I just feel like there's a million things to get done before Saturday
00:02:07Everyone here knows how much this festival means to you, Carrie
00:02:11It's going to be wonderful
00:02:14Just like it is every year
00:02:16Thank you
00:02:17Oh, uh, one last thing
00:02:20Um, there seems to be a string of lights that are out on the main tree
00:02:24Do you think that you could
00:02:25I'll have Connor get on it first thing
00:02:27I don't know what I'd do without you
00:02:30Really?
00:02:32Oh, have Sanderson
00:02:33Carl the check for the turkeys
00:02:35You've got quite a lot on your plate today, huh?
00:02:38Two days before Christmas?
00:02:39Nah
00:02:39I've got nothing to do
00:02:40Oh, I've got to take this
00:02:41Hi, Mr. Townsend, how can I help you?
00:02:45I was hoping you could stop by my office this morning, Miss Williams
00:02:47I've been trying to reach you for several weeks now
00:02:50I've left quite a few messages
00:02:51Oh, uh, well, I've been really busy preparing for the festival
00:02:55I understand
00:02:56However, there's a matter of the utmost urgency I must discuss with you
00:02:59Oh, um, well, I'm super swamped today
00:03:02Do you think you can wait till after the holidays?
00:03:04Oh, I'm afraid it'll be very much too late by then
00:03:07I really must insist you come in today
00:03:09Uh, okay, I guess I can, uh, try to stop by later today
00:03:13I'd recommend the sooner the better
00:03:15Sure
00:03:16Okay, thank you
00:03:18Thankers
00:03:20Oh, and, uh, have Grant make an extra dozen cookies for the elves to pass around
00:03:36while people are walking
00:03:38Hey, what's wrong?
00:03:45I am so glad you're here
00:03:46Why, what's up?
00:03:48Cabin 8, flooded this morning
00:03:50Oh, water here?
00:03:51Fortunately, none of the Julian's belongings got damaged
00:03:53but we're booked solid
00:03:54I don't know where to put them
00:03:56Uh, how many more reservations are coming in between now and Saturday?
00:04:01Just one
00:04:02A Mindy Brown arrives today
00:04:03Single?
00:04:05Looks like it
00:04:05Good, uh, just put her in Cabin 7
00:04:09But you hate having people across from you?
00:04:13It's Christmas, Hannah
00:04:14We always have room at this inn
00:04:15I really don't have time for you today, Mr. Dunn
00:04:23You know, I really wish you'd call me John
00:04:25Funny, I wish you wouldn't call, period
00:04:27You know, a lesser man would be discouraged, but lucky me, I'm thick-skinned
00:04:30I'm not selling the ranch, Mr. Dunn
00:04:34Not today, not tomorrow, not ever
00:04:36And as much as I adore these weekly exchanges
00:04:39I really don't have the time
00:04:41But I do have a brilliant idea
00:04:43Ooh, congratulations
00:04:44Which I'm sure for you must have been a first
00:04:47Ouch
00:04:49It's the holidays, Mr. Dunn
00:04:51Why don't you just give it a rest?
00:04:53Take a vacation
00:04:53Right, but I'm late
00:04:55I mean, I couldn't agree more
00:05:01I do need a vacation
00:05:03Come in
00:05:15Oh, hey, Grandma
00:05:17Hey
00:05:18Are you busy?
00:05:21I can come back later
00:05:23Oh, no, you look upset
00:05:24Come sit down, what is it?
00:05:27I'm sure it's nothing
00:05:28But I can't find Sandra to ask
00:05:30Oh, uh, what is it?
00:05:33Charlie Kilgore called today
00:05:34The check, the chicken feed, it bounced
00:05:38Well, that's impossible
00:05:39That's what I told him, but I can't find Sandra
00:05:42So I don't know what to tell him
00:05:44Well, you think she's at lunch?
00:05:46I haven't seen her all day
00:05:47I'll take care of it, Grandma
00:05:49Please
00:05:50Okay
00:05:51Hi, welcome to the ranch
00:06:05Can I help you?
00:06:06Yes, actually I'm checking in
00:06:08Have a seat
00:06:09Name?
00:06:13It should be under John Dunn
00:06:15I'm so sorry, Mr. Dunn
00:06:20I don't have anything under that name
00:06:21Oh, you know what?
00:06:23Actually, my assistant
00:06:24She sometimes makes these reservations for me
00:06:26Can you check under her name, Mindy Brown?
00:06:27Oh, yes
00:06:28Here it is
00:06:31Something the matter?
00:06:34No, no
00:06:35It's the room you booked
00:06:38This morning we had some unfortunate issues
00:06:40And I'm afraid the only thing I have left
00:06:42Is a cabin at the main lodge
00:06:44It's okay, as long as it's here
00:06:45I'm happy
00:06:46I just want to relax and enjoy the Christmas spirit
00:06:49All right
00:06:50Well, it's the first one over there
00:06:52As soon as you walk out
00:06:53Thank you
00:06:55I love what you've done with the place
00:07:00Thank you
00:07:01I can't be right
00:07:12We're sorry
00:07:19The number you have dialed
00:07:20Is no longer in service
00:07:22How can we be broke?
00:07:31Am I to assume you didn't issue this bank transfer to Miss Flowers?
00:07:34No, of course not
00:07:35That's, um
00:07:36That's everything we have
00:07:38I was afraid of that
00:07:42I brought you in here today to talk about your loan payments
00:07:46Uh, what about them?
00:07:49Why, you're behind, of course
00:07:50Uh, that's
00:07:52That's also impossible
00:07:53Because we are never late on our payments
00:07:56Well, I would concur
00:07:57That's why I was so troubled
00:07:59When it was brought to my attention
00:07:59After being three months overdue
00:08:01Three months?
00:08:02Now, when I talked to Miss Flowers
00:08:04She reassured me
00:08:05That she would take care of it
00:08:06However, nothing has happened
00:08:07And with the foreclosure deadline being so close
00:08:10I'm sorry
00:08:10Did you just say
00:08:11Foreclosure deadline?
00:08:13I wasn't
00:08:14Given any deadline
00:08:15Oh, dear
00:08:17Uh, this is
00:08:18Very unfortunate
00:08:19The account has to be brought up to date
00:08:24By close of business on the 24th
00:08:26That's in two days
00:08:29This is why I was trying to reach you all month
00:08:32While ordinarily the bank would be closed for the holiday
00:08:36Given the circumstances
00:08:38The least I can do is give you until five o'clock end of day
00:08:42As a deadline
00:08:44To recover three months of missed payments
00:08:46That's almost $15,000
00:08:48Mm, too shy
00:08:50Given the late payments and fees, but
00:08:52You expect me to come up with $15,000
00:08:55In 48 hours?
00:08:58No, Miss Williams, I expect
00:09:00You own the bank
00:09:01Can't you just, uh
00:09:02Just give me another loan?
00:09:04When the property's already being held as collateral
00:09:07I'm afraid I can't
00:09:10I'd be more than happy
00:09:14To speak to the authorities on your behalf
00:09:17If you decide to press charges against Miss Flowers
00:09:20You'll have to find her first
00:09:23Don't worry, Mr. Townsend
00:09:28I'll get you your money by Saturday
00:09:31Thank you
00:09:32No, but, uh, you don't understand
00:09:35Okay
00:09:40Look, I know it's a lot of money
00:09:42And it's all my fault
00:09:44Because I wanted to pay the loan off quickly
00:09:46And so the monthly payments were higher
00:09:47I just can't believe Sandra would do something like this
00:09:51When they find her
00:09:52I hope they lock her up forever
00:09:54Now, Connor
00:09:55Anger isn't going to solve this problem
00:09:57No, it isn't
00:09:58And while it's a major blow
00:10:00It's not something we can't recover from
00:10:02Today's numbers were great
00:10:05We've got tomorrow
00:10:06And the festival
00:10:07And that'll bring us up to date
00:10:09I don't want to burden everyone with what's happened
00:10:13But I'll have to let the staff know
00:10:15Why I can't give bonuses this year
00:10:16Carrie, don't worry about us
00:10:18We'll do whatever it takes
00:10:19You know that
00:10:20Thank you
00:10:21I know
00:10:21I mean, this place is not just a job for you
00:10:24Like it is for everyone else
00:10:25And you're not just employees
00:10:27You're
00:10:27You're family, really
00:10:30And we take care of family
00:10:31I hate that I have to do this to you all
00:10:34It wasn't you that put us here, child
00:10:37And it won't be you alone that gets us out of this mess
00:10:41Thanks, George
00:10:42Okay
00:10:45You know, I guess I'll just have to break the bad news
00:10:48Before the rumors and gossip get out of hand
00:10:50And I've been in the bud
00:10:52Wish me luck
00:10:52I also have work to do
00:11:01Me too
00:11:05Don't worry, Rose
00:11:07That granddaughter of yours has quite a head on her shoulders
00:11:11She'll figure this out
00:11:13And like I said, she isn't alone
00:11:16I don't know what we'd do around here without you, George
00:11:19Well
00:11:22You'll never have to find out
00:11:25Oh, excuse me, miss
00:11:32Do you happen to work here?
00:11:35Yes
00:11:35I poured the last of the coffee
00:11:37Would it be possible to make some more?
00:11:39Ah, yes, certainly, sir
00:11:40I'll go fetch me a pub right now
00:11:42Who is that?
00:11:55That's Mindy Brown
00:11:56What?
00:11:58Uh, John Dunn
00:12:00The reservation was accidentally in his assistant's name
00:12:02Oh, accidentally, Mike
00:12:04What?
00:12:05That is the annoying developer guy
00:12:06How was I supposed to know he had a real name?
00:12:09I don't know
00:12:10What's he doing here?
00:12:12I don't know
00:12:13I thought you would know
00:12:14Why would I know?
00:12:15I don't know
00:12:15I don't know
00:12:16Well, you know what?
00:12:19I'm gonna go over there and find out
00:12:20Yeah
00:12:21Right now
00:12:23I
00:12:23I have seen some pretty underhanded things in my day, Mr. Dunn
00:12:31But this one
00:12:32Certainly takes the cake
00:12:33Carrie?
00:12:36What?
00:12:36Is that you?
00:12:39What are you doing here, Mr. Dunn?
00:12:41Just taking your suggestion
00:12:42I'm on vacation
00:12:43Uh-huh
00:12:44We've been booked for two months
00:12:45Fine
00:12:48I might have put it under my assistant's name
00:12:51Because I didn't think you'd accept the reservation under mine
00:12:54And what makes you think I won't kick you out right now?
00:12:57You would kick me out on Christmas
00:12:58No
00:13:00No
00:13:01I wouldn't
00:13:02Um
00:13:03I mean
00:13:04Well, you're already here, so
00:13:05But you've heard my final offer
00:13:08And
00:13:09I'm sticking with it
00:13:10I'm not selling
00:13:10I know, but you haven't heard my final offer
00:13:13I don't care what you're offering, Mr. Dunn
00:13:15Just
00:13:17Enjoy your weekend
00:13:30Finally get it
00:13:55Get what, Mr. Dunn
00:13:58Just how much this place really means to you
00:14:02And in the five minutes you've been here, you figured that out?
00:14:06No, actually I realized this earlier
00:14:07This is your home
00:14:09I know that, Carrie
00:14:10That
00:14:12This place means the world to you
00:14:14And you don't want to leave
00:14:15So what if you didn't have to?
00:14:18Didn't have to leave?
00:14:20Exactly
00:14:20I'll just have a clause drawn up that says you and your beloved gran
00:14:24Can still run the place
00:14:25And you'd be our landlord
00:14:28Well, I would be the owner
00:14:29Well, see, the funny thing about that is, Mr. Dunn
00:14:32I already do run this place
00:14:34But I do it unless you fit
00:14:36Just think of the potential
00:14:40That's all I'm asking
00:14:41Think of the potential
00:14:42The potential
00:14:43Yes
00:14:44This property is ten miles
00:14:46And one of the most premier ski mountains in the entire tri-state area
00:14:51No, you don't say
00:14:52And if you just think about expanding
00:14:54Even just building a bigger lodge
00:14:56Carrie
00:14:56A bigger lodge
00:14:58Could hold ten times the occupancy of what it holds now
00:15:02Why me, Mr. Dunn?
00:15:05I mean, how'd you even find this place?
00:15:08We've never been up for sale
00:15:09First off, I do insist
00:15:10Please call me John
00:15:11I keep expecting to look over my shoulder and see my father
00:15:13Secondly, because that's my business
00:15:16I find diamonds in the rough
00:15:18And what's in it for you, buying the ranch?
00:15:21I'm a developer
00:15:22It's what I do
00:15:24I find great things
00:15:26And I turn them into fantastic money-making opportunities
00:15:28Now, you may not see the opportunity for growth yet
00:15:30But it's there
00:15:31Trust me
00:15:32This might surprise you
00:15:36But I don't totally disagree with everything you're saying
00:15:40I've been thinking about making a few changes on my own
00:15:43Wait, I'm sorry
00:15:46Could you repeat that?
00:15:47I think I just blacked out for a second
00:15:48You actually agree with me on something?
00:15:52Yes
00:15:52I've been thinking of adding it
00:15:54You don't leave me hanging
00:15:57Adding what?
00:15:58Growing change?
00:15:59Adding what?
00:16:00A day spa
00:16:01Okay
00:16:02A spa?
00:16:05Just sounds so unlike you
00:16:06Don't think I'm a spa girl
00:16:10No, you don't like the idea of a stranger touching you anymore than you want someone you know touching you
00:16:17Pedicures, I'm sure you think are a waste of money because your feet are always covered in boots
00:16:21And manicures, you never get them unless you're going to a friend's wedding
00:16:23How do you know all that?
00:16:27Well, the massage part, because I told you a while back on the phone that I get one once a week
00:16:31And that kind of creeped you out a little bit
00:16:33Pedicures just because I pay attention
00:16:35And manicures because that was the excuse you gave me right before you hung up on me two months ago
00:16:40And now that I know that you're open to change
00:16:50Have you ever thought about LED lighting?
00:16:52How do you feel about it?
00:16:55Incredibly indifferent
00:16:56Do you know how much money you could be saving just by switching over to computer graphics and displays other than actual lights?
00:17:03The man doesn't want lights on the light displays
00:17:06Interesting choice
00:17:08Excuse me, I've got to get some real work done
00:17:10See you around
00:17:11It's a good idea
00:17:12You should think about it
00:17:13LEDs
00:17:13See you later, Mr. Dunn
00:17:24Good
00:17:24Enough with the jail breaks, okay, buddy?
00:17:26You wander into Farmer Walker's field again
00:17:28And it's going to be you who ends up on the Christmas menu
00:17:31In addition to LED lighting, I was also thinking that we
00:17:35What, you can't think and talk at the same time, Mr. Dunn?
00:17:44It's a reindeer
00:17:45It's Blitzen, he keeps getting out
00:17:48A reindeer
00:17:51Yeah, they do exist, you know that, right?
00:17:56Yeah
00:17:57Yeah, yeah, of course
00:18:01I guess I just never seen one in person before
00:18:04Well, according to you, I'm wasting money feeding these things when I could just be using animatronics
00:18:09I said that?
00:18:11Mm-hmm, you did
00:18:12Change of heart, the reindeer can stay
00:18:14Great, I'll let them know
00:18:16So what's it like pulling Santa's sleigh, huh?
00:18:24You're not going to talk, are you?
00:18:27I just wanted to tell you that we can't have bonuses this year
00:18:30But you've been amazing
00:18:32And hopefully by February, we can figure something out, okay?
00:18:35I appreciate you
00:18:36I see where your loyalties lie
00:18:40Good job, though
00:18:42Boss around?
00:18:53Hi, Connor
00:18:53Uh, no
00:18:55Carrie's still out on the ranch
00:18:56Delivering the bad news to everyone
00:18:58Well, you let her know that
00:19:00I fixed a string of lights on the main tree
00:19:02All the cabins have wood
00:19:04And I ordered that part to fix cabin 12
00:19:06I'll tell her
00:19:08It's terrible, isn't it?
00:19:10About Sandra
00:19:11I just hope it doesn't ruin the festival
00:19:14I can't believe somebody would take advantage of carrying Miss Rose like that
00:19:17I don't know what I'm going to do if we lose this place
00:19:19It won't happen
00:19:20Okay, Carrie will figure it out
00:19:22She can do anything
00:19:23Sweet boy
00:19:29But a bit dense, isn't he?
00:19:31I swear, Miss Rose
00:19:32I can't compete with someone like Carrie
00:19:35Nonsense, child
00:19:36He isn't in love with Carrie
00:19:37He just wants to impress her
00:19:39He knows he's in line for George's job
00:19:41He wants her respect
00:19:43Then why do I feel like
00:19:44I could be lit up like a Christmas tree
00:19:46And that man still wouldn't notice me?
00:19:48Maybe you just need to be more creative
00:19:50Aren't you tired of following me around, Mr. Dunn?
00:20:05And miss you spreading on this Christmas cheer?
00:20:08I had to break some hard news to the staff, if you must know
00:20:10What, did somebody take care of Santa?
00:20:14Have you no shape?
00:20:15No
00:20:16No, I don't
00:20:17Hey, what's going on?
00:20:18Carrie, why does everyone around here look like a kid who got a lump of coal in their stocking?
00:20:23Well, it's really none of your business, Mr. Dunn
00:20:25Now, if you don't mind
00:20:27I don't mind
00:20:28Oh, good afternoon, Mr. Dunn
00:20:47Can I help you?
00:20:49Hi, yeah
00:20:50I was just looking for Carrie
00:20:52She
00:20:52We got separated
00:20:54Uh, well, it's 3.30
00:20:56She's usually checking on the food stands about now
00:20:59Making sure they're fully stocked for the evening crowd
00:21:01Oh
00:21:01That's good
00:21:03That's good
00:21:04You know, it's a shame, isn't it?
00:21:11Sir?
00:21:12You know, just everything going on
00:21:13Carrie is handling it like a champ, I have to say
00:21:15You know?
00:21:18Well, yes
00:21:19All things considered, she thought it best
00:21:21I still can't believe it
00:21:24I never thought Sandra could be capable of such a thing
00:21:27No, of course not
00:21:28Who would?
00:21:29You know, Miss Rose and Carrie took her in when she couldn't get a job
00:21:32And to take every last dime from that job
00:21:35She did what?
00:21:36I mean, the absolute nerve
00:21:39I hope Carrie can find the woman
00:21:41It might be the only way to save this place
00:21:43Can you imagine Mr. Townsend giving a deadline like that?
00:21:47No
00:21:48No, I really can't
00:21:50And especially on
00:21:51On Christmas Eve
00:21:52Of all days
00:21:53Two days
00:21:54To make up three months of Miss Loan Payments
00:21:56Well, bankers aren't really known for their hearts of gold
00:21:58And when it's that much money
00:22:00$15,000
00:22:02$15,000?
00:22:03$15,000 in two days
00:22:05I hate to think this place could get foreclosed on
00:22:07Yes
00:22:08Yeah, that would be awful
00:22:10Mrs. Claus?
00:22:18Mrs. Famous sugar cookies
00:22:20My favorite
00:22:21Hey, George
00:22:22How's it looking out there?
00:22:23Well, the big draw will be the festival Saturday
00:22:26But there's still a lot of folks out there today
00:22:29With $15,000 to spend?
00:22:32Get my hands on that woman
00:22:35I'll...
00:22:35You wouldn't have done a thing
00:22:36You know that
00:22:38You weren't supposed to call my bluff
00:22:40I know you mean well enough, George
00:22:42But I've already got Carrie all riled up
00:22:44I really need you to keep a clear head
00:22:47Of course
00:22:48You can always count on me, Rose
00:22:52Hey, you know
00:22:55I got a few minutes before Santa makes his entrance
00:22:58Can I give you a hand?
00:23:01Rolling dough?
00:23:03You have to look so surprised
00:23:05I've made a batch or two of cookies in my days
00:23:08By all means?
00:23:10Hey, Connor
00:23:28Can you help me hang this?
00:23:32I guess
00:23:32You know, it's interesting
00:23:37The whole tradition of kissing under the mistletoe
00:23:39It actually started in ancient Greece
00:23:41During the festival of Saturnalia
00:23:43And wedding ceremonies
00:23:44Because it's associated with fertility
00:23:46It's a parasite
00:23:48Invasive to the tree
00:23:50It's slowly killing
00:23:51And it's poisonous
00:23:53I told Carrie she'll be risking a lawsuit
00:23:56If she keeps this stuff lying around
00:23:57It's worth a kiss
00:23:59What now?
00:24:00I gotta call my sister
00:24:03You know, if I had one
00:24:06A few days in
00:24:13You must be the infamous John Donne
00:24:18Mrs. Claus
00:24:20The pleasure is all mine
00:24:21You can call me Rose
00:24:25Rose
00:24:25Carrie said you were quite a charmer
00:24:27She said that
00:24:28Silver-tongued snake
00:24:31Might have been in front of it
00:24:32Sounds more like it
00:24:33Tell me now, Mr. Donne
00:24:35What's your interest in our property?
00:24:37It's the prime location
00:24:38Infinite possibilities
00:24:39It's my kind of place
00:24:40It was my Ray's vision
00:24:42He wanted a place where the community
00:24:43Could come and celebrate the holidays
00:24:45And I promise you
00:24:46That vision isn't gonna change
00:24:47Carrie's very much like her grandfather was
00:24:50Was
00:24:50Give my condolences
00:24:53You've been reaching out to my granddaughter quite a bit
00:24:57Are you always so persistent?
00:24:59No
00:24:59As a matter of fact, I'm not
00:25:00I just can't bring myself to stop calling
00:25:03Mrs. Claus
00:25:05They're ready for you at the Santa booth
00:25:06I'm on my way
00:25:08Well, welcome to Snow Village Ranch
00:25:10Enjoy your stay
00:25:12Thank you
00:25:13Silver-tongued snake camera
00:25:20Wow
00:25:21That's new
00:25:22What do you think?
00:25:30Awesome
00:25:30Annoying developer guy?
00:25:32Wow
00:25:33Well, I'd really hate to be him
00:25:34Stubborn Christmas lady?
00:25:39Yeah, I need to change that
00:25:40Sorry, I guess I'm more deserving of my name than you are yours
00:25:42You think?
00:25:43At least I know when to quit
00:25:44Okay, so
00:25:47What is all this about?
00:25:49It's our annual toy drive
00:25:51Drew is going to drop off the presents tomorrow
00:25:54At the local children's hospital
00:25:55Really?
00:25:56I never thought I'd say that I was jealous of an elf
00:25:58But that actually sounds pretty wonderful
00:26:00It is pretty wonderful, actually
00:26:02To see their faces light up despite all that's going on
00:26:05I think it's actually one of our very best Christmas traditions
00:26:08Definitely one I'll keep
00:26:10You want to get that?
00:26:14No, it can wait
00:26:15Okay
00:26:22Just excuse me one second
00:26:24Hello?
00:26:26Monsieur Leroy
00:26:27Oui
00:26:28I thought you said you spoke Japanese
00:26:39Hi
00:26:40Hello?
00:26:42No
00:26:42Hi
00:26:43H-A-I
00:26:44It's yes in Japanese
00:26:45I only speak a little bit of French
00:26:47That's it
00:26:48That didn't sound like just a little bit
00:26:49Just what happens to be all the words I know
00:26:51Spoken all at once
00:26:52Just closed a deal in Paris
00:26:54That's what that was
00:26:55I'm renovating an outdated shopping mall
00:26:58That's all
00:26:59Do you ever buy anything that you don't change at all?
00:27:02I'm a developer, that's what I do
00:27:04Okay, Mr. Businessman
00:27:05And what changes would you suggest here?
00:27:09Well, to start, have you thought about increasing your prices around here?
00:27:12I'm not interested in gouging my customers, Mr. Dunn
00:27:15But I thought we were getting a hot cocoa
00:27:18Start with that today, honey
00:27:19Maybe next time
00:27:20See, not all families can afford to pay $10 for a cup of cocoa
00:27:24Excuse me
00:27:25Hey, Drew
00:27:27I've got an idea
00:27:28Can you go inside, get an extra cup of hot cocoa and a bag of cookies for that family over there?
00:27:33And tell them that Santa sent you
00:27:34And that he knows that she's been a very good girl this year
00:27:36Good idea
00:27:37Right on there, boss
00:27:39Thank you
00:27:40Do you have any other great business ideas for me?
00:27:45Have you thought about theme displays?
00:27:46Yeah, um, Christmas is usually the theme we run with here
00:27:51It's kind of worked pretty good
00:27:53Very funny
00:27:53I'm talking about tying in hot movies
00:27:56Trending topics, current fads, that kind of thing
00:27:59Ah, so you're looking to make Christmas more culturally relevant
00:28:03Exactly
00:28:03Well, more relevant to the new generation
00:28:06With gadgets and technology these days
00:28:09You're vying for everyone's attention with provincial strategies
00:28:12Provincial?
00:28:13You mean old?
00:28:14I'll date it
00:28:15Have you seen what they're doing with drones?
00:28:17It's amazing
00:28:17Yeah, because that sounds cheap
00:28:19Versus the amount you're spending on electricity
00:28:21Wow
00:28:22I'm sorry, um, I, I
00:28:24I've never heard anyone gush about the glory of Christmas drones
00:28:29Hold on, let me think
00:28:30Uh, yeah, no, I haven't
00:28:32Okay, fine
00:28:33I'll let you live in the dark ages with technology
00:28:36What about admission?
00:28:38Kids under 12?
00:28:39Free?
00:28:40Oh, so now you don't want kids to see Santa either?
00:28:43No, no, no, no
00:28:44That, that's not what I'm saying
00:28:46What I'm suggesting is that they pay to see Santa
00:28:50And maybe the babies can be free
00:28:51Okay, stop right there
00:28:52Um, in all due respect, Mr. Dunn
00:28:55I think you should maybe take this one back to the drawing board
00:28:57Uh, good evening
00:29:14You wouldn't happen to be John Dunn
00:29:17Uh, as a matter of fact, I am
00:29:18I'm sorry, do, do I know you?
00:29:21I heard you're in town
00:29:22Kurt Townsend
00:29:23Oh, I'm so delighted you came
00:29:25Mr. Townsend
00:29:26Thank you again for telling me about this ranch
00:29:28It's exactly the kind of place I like
00:29:30I knew it'd be perfect for you
00:29:31Now, I'm not gonna lie to you, Mr. Dunn
00:29:33There are plenty of people that would love to get their hands on this place
00:29:36They just don't have your vision for it
00:29:38Now, if Miss Williams can't satisfy her obligations
00:29:41I'm prepared to let it go for a very good price
00:29:43I like the sound of that
00:29:44Get me on top of the list
00:29:45I'm here because I care and I want it
00:29:47Thank you, Mr. Townsend
00:29:49I don't know if you'll excuse me
00:29:50Indeed
00:29:50Quite a haul this year
00:29:57The kids will be so excited
00:30:00I know, I love seeing their happy faces
00:30:02Good evening, ladies
00:30:05Sorry to intrude
00:30:07Nonsense
00:30:09You know, my arthritis is really bothering me
00:30:15You wouldn't mind helping her finish, would you?
00:30:17Yeah, of course not
00:30:18Wonderful
00:30:20Good night
00:30:25Night, Grandma
00:30:26Good night
00:30:27That is awfully scroogey of you
00:30:33To work your gran to the bone
00:30:35She does not have arthritis
00:30:37She reminds me of my gran
00:30:41The airplane pilot?
00:30:43Yes, Camilla
00:30:43She was a trailblazer
00:30:44She owned her own car
00:30:45Her own apartment
00:30:46She'd been married a man
00:30:48Ten years younger than her
00:30:50Well, she sounds inspiring
00:30:51Yeah, independent
00:30:52Determined
00:30:54Really stubborn
00:30:55I can see what she inspires you
00:30:56Yeah, well, the only thing I can't do
00:30:59Is wrap up a present, apparently
00:31:02Let's see
00:31:06Seriously
00:31:16Things just come naturally
00:31:18And where did you learn to do that?
00:31:21Okay, I had a few odd jobs get me through college
00:31:23Who didn't?
00:31:24One of them might have been manning a gift wrapping station
00:31:26During the holidays
00:31:28I don't tell anybody
00:31:30I guess you're just gonna have to teach me
00:31:34Never got the hang of it
00:31:35Happy to share everything I know
00:31:37I have no idea what to do with that
00:31:42In one horse open sleigh
00:31:49O'er the fields we go
00:31:51Laughing all the way
00:31:53Ha, ha, ha
00:31:53Bells on, bobtails ring
00:31:55Making spirits bright
00:31:58What fun it is to ride and sing
00:32:00A sleighing song tonight
00:32:02Oh, jingle bells, jingle bells
00:32:05Jingle all the way
00:32:07Oh, what fun it is to ride
00:32:09In one horse open sleigh
00:32:12Mr. Dunn
00:32:15Don't stop on my account
00:32:17What are you doing?
00:32:20I was hungry
00:32:20I wanted a little snack
00:32:21I was enjoying the evening serenade
00:32:24You have a great voice
00:32:25You don't usually keep people in that cabin
00:32:28Sorry
00:32:29Well, I'm flattered you made the exception for me
00:32:31I made an exception for Mindy Brown
00:32:34But you showed up instead
00:32:35You want a cookie?
00:32:40No, thank you
00:32:40I'm not hungry
00:32:41You sure?
00:32:42You weren't just on your way to the kitchen
00:32:44Decided to step out and get some fresh air
00:32:46Fine
00:32:48I was headed to the kitchen for a snack
00:32:51Yes
00:32:51Well, thanks for asking
00:32:52I'd be happy to accompany you
00:32:53I didn't ask you to join me
00:32:55I read between the lines
00:32:56You know what?
00:32:58I will take a cookie
00:32:59And I will eat it in my room
00:33:01Good night, Mr. Dunn
00:33:04Let's go
00:33:05Let's go
00:33:06I won't eat it in my room
00:33:08No, let's go
00:33:08I won't eat it in my room
00:33:09Can you do it?
00:33:10Can you do it?
00:33:10No, well then
00:33:10Let's go
00:33:11Let's go
00:33:12Let's go
00:33:12I won't eat it in my room
00:33:13You know?
00:33:14Thank you
00:33:14You know what I'm sitting here
00:33:15I shall come
00:33:15I wasn't in my room
00:33:16I told you
00:33:17Let's go
00:33:18Let's go
00:33:18Let's go
00:33:18Let's go
00:33:19I won't eat it in my room
00:33:20I bet the feed store to extend her credit to February.
00:33:42A grant?
00:33:44Somewhat chipper this morning.
00:33:46Well, the numbers yesterday look better than I thought.
00:33:49I think we'll have Mr. Townsend's money by the end of today.
00:33:52Oh, sweetie, that's wonderful news.
00:33:55No matter what happens, my child, we still have each other.
00:33:58I know.
00:33:59And we'll always have this place.
00:34:01I never wanted our home to be a burden to you.
00:34:04It's not, and it never has been.
00:34:06You know how much I love it here.
00:34:08I do, but I don't want this to be the only thing you love.
00:34:12Nonsense.
00:34:19Okay, so we are on track to make $15,000 today, but just to make sure, I think I'll have to call the suppliers that are expecting a check tomorrow and see if they'll wait until after the new year.
00:34:31Well, I can deal with all our regular vendors, and you can just call everyone that we only use for the holidays.
00:34:39Thank you, George.
00:34:40That would be a huge help.
00:34:42I heard Mr. Dunn talking about how we need to raise some prices.
00:34:45That's not going to happen.
00:34:46But what I do want to do is drum up some new business.
00:34:49So, Hannah, if you can repush that social media campaign, that would be really helpful.
00:34:52Yeah, I'll put all the festival information online.
00:34:55Perfect.
00:34:55I did see some old shuttle buses out back.
00:35:00Do they still work?
00:35:01Mr. Dunn, this is a private matter.
00:35:03Thank you so much, though.
00:35:04Of course.
00:35:06Oh, they work.
00:35:08We just don't have much of an occasion to use them.
00:35:11See, I disagree.
00:35:12I think we have a great opportunity to use them.
00:35:14Think about it.
00:35:16We offer shuttle rides, especially to the guests up at the ski lodge.
00:35:21Right?
00:35:21Hundreds of people with disposable income.
00:35:23They keep taking shuttles to and from the airport because they don't want to drive on the mountain roads.
00:35:28Why don't we just offer them a lift?
00:35:30It's not a bad idea.
00:35:32Hannah, will you call Howard at the lodge and see if he's okay with that?
00:35:36Right away?
00:35:37And I'll get the chains out of storage in case it snows.
00:35:42Mrs. Jordan from the elementary school should have a list of bus drivers that might want to volunteer.
00:35:47Good thinking, Gran, as always.
00:35:50Well, let's get started.
00:35:51Thanks for your time, everyone.
00:35:59Huh?
00:36:00Which one blabbed?
00:36:02It's not their fault.
00:36:03Don't blame them.
00:36:05Well, great.
00:36:06So I guess now you know.
00:36:07We're facing foreclosure.
00:36:09You happy?
00:36:09No, not really.
00:36:11My entire business is built on the fact that the owner is happy with what's happening because they want to fulfill their potential, not because they have no other choice.
00:36:18It sounds like that's important.
00:36:23They can wait.
00:36:24No, I insist.
00:36:26I think he likes you.
00:36:52he hasn't tried to bite you no more buddies
00:36:58you know carrie likes you too well she has tried to bite me metaphorically
00:37:06well that's because she loves this place i know that i'm not trying to steal it away from her
00:37:14i even told her she and gran could stay here no one else is going to cut her that deal
00:37:17that's true and if she were interested in selling i'm sure she'd jump at it but
00:37:23she'd never sell unless she had to i'm not rooting for her to fail if that worries you
00:37:30you know it did cross my mind i wouldn't do that to carrie no i don't believe you would
00:37:38you know i don't think i'd ever decorated a cookie until coming
00:37:47here it's one of my favorite things to do mom and dad loved cookie decorating your father
00:37:54never had any finesse for it his red blobs for santas his green blobs for trees
00:38:00kind of like this one yeah exactly

00:38:28you say that now but i'm guessing you've never had cricket macaroons
00:38:32that's horrible oh they're so crunchy and it's hard to get those crickets to stand still
00:38:37sounds like you've been all over the world carrie said you speak like a million languages

00:42:57We did it.
00:42:59We did it.
00:43:01We did it.
00:43:11Hi, Mr. Townsend.
00:43:13It's Carrie Williams.
00:43:15I have something for you.
00:43:18Oh, you're here.
00:43:20Um, how about we meet in the lobby in about five minutes?
00:43:24Okay, I'll see you there.
00:43:25Thanks.
00:43:27Oh, yes.
00:43:35Oh, thank you, Mr. Townsend.
00:43:36Thank you for waiting.
00:43:37Can I get you another coffee?
00:43:39No, I'm fine.
00:43:40Okay, well, here you go.
00:43:48Well, it's a start.
00:43:52A start?
00:43:53Um, those...
00:43:55Those are the missing payments we owe.
00:43:57No, it covers three months.
00:44:00You ran out of my office so fast yesterday, you didn't let me explain.
00:44:03You told me that Sandra owed three months of payments.
00:44:08No, I said you were three months late when I talked to her.
00:44:12That was some time ago.
00:44:13Oh, so how late are we?
00:44:16Nine months.
00:44:19Nine months?
00:44:23Oh, um, well, that's, uh, about...
00:44:26Close to $50,000, Ms. Williams.
00:44:30$50,000?
00:44:31I just...
00:44:33I feel terrible.
00:44:36I really wish there was something I could do.
00:44:38Uh, no, thank you.
00:44:41I'll see what I can do.
00:44:43Um, good evening, Mr. Townsend.
00:44:45I may have gone a little overboard.
00:45:06Well, you...
00:45:07You say that every year.
00:45:09I imagine Christmas will look very different next year.
00:45:14Don't you give up, Rose.
00:45:17Carrie's sure she's gonna get that $15,000, and I am, too.
00:45:22I don't suppose you know about the incident between Hannah and Connor today, do you?
00:45:26I heard she snapped at him.
00:45:28Well, maybe that will make him wake up and realize how infatuated with him she is.
00:45:33Men can be so clueless.
00:45:34Well, you know, women can be just as blind as men in these circumstances.
00:45:41How many clues does he need?
00:45:43It's plain to see that she's pining for him.
00:45:45I can't believe he can't see it.
00:45:48Oh.
00:45:49Are you leaking air over there, or do you have something to say?
00:45:52Well, you're a fine one to talk.
00:45:55If you'd only let go of the past, maybe you could share a future with someone else.
00:46:01Come again?
00:46:02Ray's been gone 12 years, Rose.
00:46:06He would want you to move on.
00:46:09Yet, you keep wearing his ring like you're a married woman.
00:46:18I can't get it off.
00:46:20Say what?
00:46:21I can't get it off.
00:46:23I may have gained a few pounds since it was first put on there.
00:46:28And shame on you for making me say that.
00:46:30I didn't have the heart to have it cut off.
00:46:39Somehow it felt disrespectful to Ray's memory.
00:46:42Rose.
00:46:48Do you think there's room for one more?
00:46:51There's only one way to know.
00:46:53It's a little elf told me there might be some hot cocoa in here.
00:47:11Let me guess.
00:47:13Her name starts with G under the ram?
00:47:16Here.
00:47:17Is this homemade?
00:47:21Only the best at the ranch.
00:47:29Still getting used to you being nice to me.
00:47:31Ha!
00:47:33Well, don't get too comfortable.
00:47:37Are you okay?
00:47:38You know, I've spent every Christmas here since I was a little girl.
00:47:44This place has always felt like home to me.
00:47:48So why the long face?
00:47:49I've seen the crowds.
00:47:51You should have your 15 grand.
00:47:53Well, it's kind of more like 50.
00:47:5850?
00:47:58I'm sorry, $50,000?
00:48:01How?
00:48:01I didn't get all the facts.
00:48:03I jumped first and I thought on the way down.
00:48:07That's the story of my life.
00:48:12Grant and the others, they don't know.
00:48:13I didn't have the heart to tell them yet.
00:48:15It's Christmas.
00:48:16I want everybody to have a good time tomorrow, enjoy themselves.
00:48:19And then, I don't know.
00:48:24Look, I, uh, I know I don't have the right to ask you to wait.
00:48:29But, I mean, the bank will probably put this place up for sale anyway.
00:48:35But if we don't have the funds we need,
00:48:38by five tomorrow, I'm, I'm willing to sell to you.
00:48:43As long as you still agree to uphold Grant's vision for the place.
00:48:52It's kind of been her home, too.
00:48:55Yeah, of course.
00:48:55Of course.
00:48:57Well, anything.
00:48:58Whatever your terms.
00:49:00And you know...
00:49:02You know that I am going to take really good care of her.
00:49:08Something tells me you will.
00:49:29Hey, there you are.
00:49:31Morning, Grant.
00:49:33I'm going to get breakfast started.
00:49:35Okay, I'll be in in a minute to help.
00:49:39What's the matter, child?
00:49:42I messed up, Grant.
00:49:45What do you mean?
00:49:46Well, apparently, I didn't listen to everything Mr. Townsend had to say.
00:49:51It's not three months we owe.
00:49:53It's more like nine months.
00:49:56It's almost $50,000, I know.
00:49:59Well, that is a lot, isn't it?
00:50:01Yeah, and I was arrogant to think that I could pull it off,
00:50:04making those payments so high.
00:50:06You did what you thought was best.
00:50:07You always have.
00:50:09Well, you should know I did speak to Mr. Dunn.
00:50:13And if we don't have the money by the end of the day, I'm going to sell to him.
00:50:17But only because he put a clause in the contract
00:50:19that he'd let you stay here as long as you'd like.
00:50:22And what about you?
00:50:24I don't think I could stay here while somebody else ran the place.
00:50:31It'd be too hard.
00:50:32Sometimes I think it may be for the best.
00:50:34How can you even say that?
00:50:36This place was a home for me and your grandfather.
00:50:39And it was a wonderful place to raise our family.
00:50:42But sometimes I feel like it's become an unfair obligation to you.
00:50:47That is not true.
00:50:48I love this place.
00:50:49It's a place to call home for me.
00:50:53When was the last time you walked the property and really saw it for what it is?
00:50:57And when was the last time you had a conversation with one of the staff?
00:51:01I talk to people all the time.
00:51:02I'm talking about what needs fixing.
00:51:04The rest of the time you're talking into that box of yours.
00:51:09And, you know, neither me nor your grandfather ever wanted that.
00:51:13But, Grant, I love it here.
00:51:15I'd hate to see it go.
00:51:18As I would hate to see you go.
00:51:19Grand, these cinnamon rolls get me every year.
00:51:39I may not be able to fit into Mrs. Claus's dress today.
00:51:44You'd still be a rose, even in a flower sack.
00:51:49Oh, Mr. Dunn.
00:51:54John, I'm so glad you can make it.
00:51:55Please, have a seat.
00:51:56Oh, thank you for the invitation.
00:51:58I hope I'm not intruding.
00:52:03And help yourself.
00:52:04We've got all grand specialties this morning.
00:52:08Really, though, this looks delicious.
00:52:11It's been years since my entire family got together for a meal for the holidays.
00:52:15That's too bad.
00:52:17No, not really.
00:52:18You don't know my family and how big they are.
00:52:20I have so many nieces and nephews that when they all get into a room, it is loud.
00:52:27Well, you must try one of Graham's cinnamon rolls.
00:52:30Really?
00:52:31Is this like a secret family recipe?
00:52:35I'm going to get the recipe out of you.
00:52:36Oh, I have a question for you.
00:52:39Why, uh, why don't cinnamon rolls ever feel stressed?
00:52:43Why?
00:52:44Because they know how to roll with it.
00:52:45Oh, but that smells amazing.
00:52:54Merry Christmas Eve, everyone.
00:52:56Merry Christmas Eve.
00:53:03Please, allow me.
00:53:05See you later.
00:53:05There's just so much you can do with this property.
00:53:34It's pretty incredible.
00:53:36Hey, Maria.
00:53:37Hi.
00:53:38The girls?
00:53:43Just when I think I had you figured out.
00:53:45Predictable is boring.
00:53:47You are neither.
00:53:49Did you just accidentally compliment me?
00:53:56Merry Christmas Eve.
00:53:57Got this for you.
00:54:07I need it.
00:54:09So what was that about?
00:54:11There's no nutmeg.
00:54:12Well, no, you don't like nutmeg.
00:54:14How do you know I don't like nutmeg?
00:54:16Because you told me.
00:54:18And you remembered.
00:54:20Yeah, a knack for remembering things.
00:54:21Now spill the beans.
00:54:23What was that about?
00:54:24Fine.
00:54:25Aaron and I went to high school together.
00:54:28My husband, Kyle, passed away last March.
00:54:30So they've been really struggling financially.
00:54:33It's their first Christmas without their dad.
00:54:35And I thought I'd do something a little special for them.
00:54:37I told the kids that if they stopped by Santa,
00:54:40he'd have an extra big bag of presents for them.
00:54:43It's the least I could do.
00:54:44That's really kind of you.
00:54:45If you'll excuse me.
00:54:50And what was that?
00:55:16Nothing.
00:55:17Try again.
00:55:20I just told them that Santa had another little something
00:55:23that was too big to fit under the Christmas tree.
00:55:26That's all.
00:55:26That didn't look like a little something.
00:55:29You know, I think I saw a churro stand earlier.
00:55:32I love churros.
00:55:33Confess, and I'll buy you two.
00:55:35Okay, it's nothing.
00:55:36It's just a little cruise.
00:55:38A little cruise?
00:55:39Yeah, just one of those all-inclusive,
00:55:41you know, Caribbean cruises with a little spending money.
00:55:43Just for good measure.
00:55:45A what?
00:55:46Carrie.
00:55:47I thought it would be a good idea for the family to go on vacation.
00:55:50Create some new memories.
00:55:53That's a really big gesture.
00:55:55It's a gift.
00:55:55And just let them have it.
00:55:57You may have your opinions of me,
00:55:59but my family, we had so many kids,
00:56:02my parents couldn't afford the $2 chocolate.
00:56:05This trip, it's gonna, it's gonna change their lives.
00:56:07No, you should answer that.
00:56:10With all the money you're spending here,
00:56:11you're gonna need to close all the deals you can.
00:56:16This one's in accordance.
00:56:19Buongiorno, senora.
00:56:21Si, como estai?
00:56:22Ho, ho, ho.
00:56:44Welcome to the Ranch's Annual Reindeer Game.
00:56:47Now, you know, these events can get pretty heated.
00:56:54All right, contestants,
00:56:56get ready for our first event of the day,
00:56:59the Three-Legged Garland Wrap.
00:57:03This event is a three-legged race
00:57:06where the couple will wrap the garland around the tree
00:57:09and the fastest time wins.
00:57:13Good luck, everybody.
00:57:15Hey, here's to my Christmas time.
00:57:18Love the way it makes me shine.
00:57:20The infamous Reindeer Game.
00:57:33I don't see any reindeer.
00:57:34No, it's a series of challenges
00:57:36that three couples have competed.
00:57:37One from the ranch, one from in town,
00:57:39and some visitors.
00:57:40At the end of the festival,
00:57:51the top couples are nominated for king and queen.
00:57:57What about Carrie?
00:57:58She doesn't compete?
00:57:59Oh, yeah, she and Gran are partners every year
00:58:01since Carrie's granddad passed.
00:58:03Carrie was king last year.
00:58:05Why doesn't that surprise me?
00:58:07You almost ready, Gran?
00:58:10I think we're up next.
00:58:11Honey, I don't think I can do it this year.
00:58:13My ankles are already...
00:58:14Okay, that's all right.
00:58:16Fine, I'll just have, um...
00:58:17Get John.
00:58:18John will do it.
00:58:18Get John.
00:58:20I don't think so.
00:58:21Huh.
00:58:21I don't think so.
00:58:44Listen up, everybody.
00:59:00This next event is something we like to call the Human Christmas Tree.
00:59:05We'll bring a couple out here.
00:59:07One will decide to be the tree.
00:59:08The other will be the decorator.
00:59:10And when I say go, the decorator will go to work and decorate the tree.
00:59:15Come on, number one.
00:59:16You two, step up here.
00:59:18See, you're tall.
00:59:19We'll make you the tree, my man.
00:59:22You'll be the decorator.
00:59:24Okay, so don't we need a tree?
00:59:26You are the tree.
00:59:27No, no, I'm a little busy being a reindeer.
00:59:30Now you're a tree.
00:59:34Ready, set, go.
00:59:37You've got this.
00:59:38There you go.
00:59:41Oh, I got you.
00:59:44Don't worry.
00:59:44It's not going to work.
00:59:45Yeah, you're right.
00:59:46It's not going to work.
00:59:47You beat the tree.
00:59:49No, you can beat the tree.
00:59:51What?
00:59:51Come on.
00:59:53All right.
00:59:54There we go.
00:59:54Here we go.
01:00:05That's much better.
01:00:06Make sure you keep your arms up, okay?
01:00:10Everything stays on.
01:00:11That's how we win.
01:00:12Okay, now you're just trying to humiliate me.
01:00:15Is it working?
01:00:16Don't give anything to be a reindeer again.
01:00:19Now you're a reindeer tree.
01:00:22All right, for our next couple, please step forward.
01:00:24Yes.
01:00:27Okay.
01:00:28Here.
01:00:28Sorry.
01:00:29Keep your arms straight.
01:00:31Now wait for me to say go.
01:00:32Okay.
01:00:33Ready?
01:00:34Ready.
01:00:35Set.
01:00:36Go.
01:00:37Okay.

01:03:33Hot cocoa?
01:03:34Oh, just sit and be in the moment.
01:03:38Really appreciate all this place is meant to me.
01:03:41Thank you for today, by the way.
01:03:43You're a good sport.
01:03:44Nothing.
01:03:44Harry!
01:03:45Harry!
01:03:46Drew, what is it?
01:03:47Jessica Harris can't find little Marty.
01:03:48Who's little Marty?
01:03:49Uh, it's her five-year-old.
01:03:50Where was the last place she saw him?
01:03:51They were in the reindeer room.
01:03:52She turned around and he was missing.
01:03:54That backs up into the woods.
01:03:56He could have wandered off into the forest
01:03:57and it'll be really tricky to find him.
01:03:59Okay, call the sheriff.
01:04:00Have every available person head down to the barn.
01:04:02We'll go over there now and start the servicer.
01:04:04Roger that.
01:04:09Marty's wearing a dark coat,
01:04:10which is gonna make this a little bit trickier now.
01:04:12He's five and he loves rabbits.
01:04:14Jessica, his mother, said that he must have saw one
01:04:17and just wandered in after it.
01:04:19So if he's at the festival,
01:04:20I'm sure someone will find him soon,
01:04:21but if he went off into the woods like we think,
01:04:23it's about to get dark soon
01:04:25and it's gonna be a little tough.
01:04:27So anybody we can get,
01:04:29let's get him and head on in.
01:04:31Don't worry, we're gonna find him.
01:04:37Marty!
01:04:38Marty!
01:04:39What's this, Grandma?
01:04:42Let's check that old cabin.
01:04:44Okay.
01:04:45Yeah, I guess this would be somewhere
01:04:47a little kid would wanna hide.
01:04:48Oh, yeah.
01:04:49Get out of this cold.
01:04:50Who'd have gotten in there?
01:04:54Hey, Marty!
01:04:57Marty, buddy.
01:04:59Everyone's looking for you.
01:05:02Marty!
