00:00:00Merry Christmas.
00:00:06Hi.
00:00:08I come bearing gifts.
00:00:09Oh, thank you.
00:00:11Oh, no, no, no.
00:00:12Open it now.
00:00:13Now?
00:00:13Yeah.
00:00:13Okay.
00:00:18It's beautiful.
00:00:20You like it?
00:00:21I love it.
00:00:22Oh, thank you.
00:00:23You're welcome.
00:00:25It's gorgeous.
00:00:25I knew that you were decorating your tree,
00:00:28and I just wanted to get it to you in time, you know?
00:00:32This writer respects deadlines.
00:00:34So, speaking of deadlines...
00:00:37Oh, uh, right.
00:00:44An outline?
00:00:48Okay, here we go.
00:00:50Now we are cooking.
00:00:52Okay.
00:00:53Wait a minute.
00:00:54We can't send this in.
00:00:55Well, I know that it's written out longhand.
00:00:57We'll just get someone to type it up.
00:00:58It's okay.
00:00:59No, no, no.
00:01:00It's not that.
00:01:01It's just that, um...
00:01:03Oh, it's really bad.
00:01:06You're always too hard on yourself.
00:01:08No, I mean, I wrote this,
00:01:10and I fell asleep reading it.
00:01:12Well, I mean, it's the outline.
00:01:14It's not the book.
00:01:15I don't know.
00:01:16It's wrong.
00:01:17The forgotten history of L.A. urbanization?
00:01:21I mean, who am I kidding?
00:01:23Well, I mean, you made the forgotten history of Boston streets work.
00:01:27Well, yeah, because I live in Boston.
00:01:29I'm connected to this place, but Los Angeles?
00:01:33It's just gonna be a bunch of research.
00:01:37You know?
00:01:38No, there's no heart to that.
00:01:41It's not a good idea to reinvent the wheel.
00:01:44I know, but what if no one likes it?
00:01:46And I'm telling you, I am telling you,
00:01:49if this is my second book,
00:01:51I will not have a third.
00:01:55So what do we do?
00:01:57I'll just find something I'm passionate about
00:01:59and write about it.
00:02:01Okay, well,
00:02:02we pitch them a new idea right after New Year's,
00:02:06then we stand a chance.
00:02:08Otherwise, we might lose the deal.
00:02:11Right after this New Year's?
00:02:15Yeah.
00:02:16All right.
00:02:16All right.
00:02:17Well, that's fine.
00:02:20I can do that.
00:02:21I'll just, I'll work through Christmas
00:02:23and get you something, let's say,
00:02:27January 2nd?
00:02:30Hey, if anyone can do it, you can.
00:02:34Well, I apologize for not making you dinner,
00:02:44but I didn't realize I was gonna be this busy.
00:02:46I don't have a deadline, I get it.
00:02:49Any new book ideas?
00:02:51No.
00:02:53Well, I have an idea for you.
00:02:54Might help to keep your mind off the book
00:02:58with a little adventure.
00:03:03Dad, what are you talking about?
00:03:04I can't go on an adventure.
00:03:05You're your old man.
00:03:06How about we
00:03:07take a little Christmas trip together on me?
00:03:13Oh.
00:03:15Dad, I wish I could,
00:03:17but it's just the wrong timing.
00:03:18You know, I'm so busy with this new book idea,
00:03:21and I'm just, I gotta be honest with you,
00:03:24I am stuck.
00:03:26Maybe that's the thing.
00:03:27Maybe a change of scenery
00:03:29is just what you need to get you unstuck.
00:03:31And I have the perfect place.
00:03:33Where?
00:03:35Aurora.
00:03:37Your hometown?
00:03:38Yeah.
00:03:41Why so surprised?
00:03:43Well, just,
00:03:44we haven't been back there in forever.
00:03:47Well, more reason to go.
00:03:48We had a great time up there
00:03:50when you were little.
00:03:51Hmm.
00:03:53I remember.
00:03:55Sort of.
00:03:56I do remember
00:03:57Grandma and Grandpa's house.
00:03:59Are you still renting that place out?
00:04:01Yeah.
00:04:02And that's the thing.
00:04:04Last week,
00:04:04I get a call from my real estate guy.
00:04:06He says that he has got
00:04:07a very serious buyer interested,
00:04:09and that now might be the time to let it go.
00:04:12Okay.
00:04:14Well, I'm telling you right now,
00:04:15that's not gonna be easy for me.
00:04:16It's too many memories.
00:04:20So that's why you want me to come?
00:04:22To be moral support?
00:04:26Yes.
00:04:28Christmas in Aurora
00:04:30is something very special.
00:04:32And it's the perfect place
00:04:34to see the Northern Lights.
00:04:37After all,
00:04:37they named the whole town
00:04:38after the Aurora Borealis.
00:04:41I mean, I have to admit,
00:04:42it would be pretty cool
00:04:42to see those lights
00:04:43as an adult.
00:04:48Oh, but Dad,
00:04:49I am so busy.
00:04:50I have so much work to do.
00:04:51No, I'll give you plenty of time
00:04:52to do that.
00:04:53I promise you.
00:04:54Now, trust your old man.
00:04:56Huh?
00:04:57If I tell you it's Christmas...
00:04:59You can hang your stocking.
00:05:05Okay.
00:05:06Aurora,
00:05:07here we come.
00:05:08That looks incredible.
00:05:15I know.
00:05:16Look at all the colors.
00:05:17Okay, where is this town
00:05:18of Aurora exactly?
00:05:19It's in Northwest Territories.
00:05:21Oh, Canada.
00:05:22Oh, geez.
00:05:23Sounds cold.
00:05:25Colder than here.
00:05:26Yeah.
00:05:27And like something
00:05:28out of an old western.
00:05:29Like a one-street town
00:05:30with nothing but tumbleweeds
00:05:32and a saloon.
00:05:33Marlene,
00:05:33it's not that tiny.
00:05:35Look.
00:05:35I mean,
00:05:36got nice hotels.
00:05:38Got this big,
00:05:39fancy luxury tour bus.
00:05:41Look at this.
00:05:42Heated glamping tents.
00:05:44Okay,
00:05:44I can actually look
00:05:45at the northern lights
00:05:46from my bed.
00:05:47Okay.
00:05:48Okay.
00:05:49You know,
00:05:49a trip to get
00:05:50the creative juices
00:05:51flowing is a good idea.
00:05:52I think so.
00:05:53I just thought
00:05:53you'd pick somewhere
00:05:54warmer.
00:05:57Well,
00:05:58I mean,
00:05:58I didn't pick this place,
00:05:59but it's gonna make
00:06:00my dad happy,
00:06:00so I'm gonna go.
00:06:01Okay.
00:06:02Plus,
00:06:03I am ready
00:06:05for the cold.
00:06:06Yeah,
00:06:07you think those boots
00:06:08will be warm enough
00:06:08up north?
00:06:09God,
00:06:10with what I pay
00:06:11for these boots,
00:06:12it better keep me
00:06:13warm in outer space.
00:06:15Okay,
00:06:15let's see some more.
00:06:16Oh,
00:06:17the northern lights
00:06:18are so cool.

00:06:46By the time I tried,
00:06:47they were all out.
00:06:48Not to worry,

00:07:02but I cannot see him

00:07:11had some good reviews.

00:07:14with all that.
00:07:16Dad,
00:07:16you have to
00:07:17because these tours
00:07:17are expensive.

00:12:07okay?
00:12:08The only app I've ever needed
00:12:09is right here.
00:12:11Yeah,
00:12:11my Uncle Cyrus,
00:12:12he taught me how to
00:12:12just read the night sky,
00:12:14you know,
00:12:14how to sense the air,
00:12:16how to use intuition.
00:12:18I don't know,
00:12:18the Northern Lights,
00:12:19they speak to you.
00:12:20You just gotta listen.
00:12:24Okay,
00:12:24but the app says that-
00:12:25Aaron,
00:12:26you know,
00:12:27people around here
00:12:27have been viewing
00:12:28the Northern Lights
00:12:29for hundreds of years
00:12:30and Trevor is our guide.
00:12:33Let's let him guide us,
00:12:35right?
00:12:38You're right,
00:12:38of course.
00:12:41I don't like it.
00:12:43I'd love to.
00:12:44All right.
00:12:46All right.
00:12:51Right this way.
00:12:53This is beautiful.
00:12:57It's cold.
00:12:59But it's beautiful.
00:13:01Okay.
00:13:03All right.
00:13:04Here we are.
00:13:06All right.
00:13:07Where are we supposed
00:13:07to look for the lights?
00:13:08Yeah.
00:13:09Well,
00:13:09that's not why
00:13:10I pulled over.
00:13:11Huh?
00:13:12Yeah.
00:13:13What I need you both to do
00:13:15is actually just look
00:13:15right out there.
00:13:17Okay?
00:13:18Now,
00:13:18do you see how the moon
00:13:19is hitting that ice?
00:13:20Yeah.
00:13:20That's a frozen lake,
00:13:22okay?
00:13:22What I need you to do
00:13:23now is close your eyes.
00:13:26What?
00:13:27Yeah.
00:13:27You're going to close
00:13:28your eyes and listen,
00:13:28okay?
00:13:32What are we,
00:13:32what are we listening for?
00:13:34Yeah,
00:13:34you just got to be
00:13:35really quiet.
00:13:36You'll hear it.
00:13:40Yeah.
00:13:42I hear it.
00:13:45I hear it too.
00:13:47Yeah.
00:13:49What's that?
00:13:49That's the ice.
00:13:52It's cracking.
00:13:54You know,
00:13:54it kind of feels like
00:13:56it's alive, right?
00:13:57Like it's talking to you.
00:13:59Yes,
00:13:59I hear it.
00:14:01Yeah,
00:14:01my uncle always told me
00:14:03it's better to make sure
00:14:04that your guests
00:14:05have a unique experience.
00:14:06it's not about chasing
00:14:08the northern lights.
00:14:09It's about showing
00:14:10why they exist.
00:14:12Right?
00:14:13It's little miracles
00:14:14like this, right?
00:14:15Just another one
00:14:16of the wonders
00:14:17of God's creation.
00:14:18You know,
00:14:19and then that all circles
00:14:19back to the,
00:14:20the true light
00:14:24of the season.

00:16:44Isn't this place
00:16:44over a hundred years old?
00:16:46There's a lot of
00:16:47Barnes family history

00:16:54Mr. Barnes.
00:16:55No.
00:16:57Hey.
00:16:57You must be Mike.
00:16:58Huh?

00:17:03Nice to meet you.
00:17:04Pleasure.
00:17:05When do we get out
00:17:06of this cold, huh?
00:17:07The buyer's agent
00:17:08should be here any minute.
00:17:09Good.
00:17:10Thanks.
00:17:19Look at this place.
00:17:20Wow.
00:17:23Yeah,
00:17:24it was Mike's idea
00:17:25to frame
00:17:26all the old family photos,
00:17:28you know,
00:17:28to help with the,
00:17:29um,

00:17:31Stager.
00:17:31Yeah?
00:17:32Yeah.
00:17:33I like that.
00:17:34And I love that
00:17:35you decorate it for Christmas.
00:17:36Oh, thanks.
00:17:37I thought it would
00:17:37make it feel more welcome.
00:17:39Yeah.
00:17:39Your great-grandfather
00:17:41and his brothers
00:17:41built this place
00:17:42in 1912.
00:17:43It felt a lot bigger
00:17:44when I was a lot smaller.
00:17:47That window?
00:17:50Some nights,
00:17:51I actually saw
00:17:51the northern lights
00:17:52from it.
00:17:55Yeah.
00:17:55Very special way
00:17:56to grow up.
00:18:00Hello.
00:18:01Ah, there she is.
00:18:03Doug,
00:18:03I'd like you to meet
00:18:04the buyer's agent.
00:18:05She's the best
00:18:06in the business.
00:18:08Laurel Michaels?
00:18:08Is that really you?
00:18:11Doug Barnes,
00:18:12oh my goodness.
00:18:13You know each other.
00:18:14Oh.
00:18:15Well, um...
00:18:16When we were kids,
00:18:17we were neighbors
00:18:18on this very block.
00:18:19We used to go
00:18:20to Sunday school together.
00:18:22I mean,
00:18:22you haven't changed a bit.
00:18:24Oh, well,
00:18:25I definitely have,
00:18:26but you're very kind to say.
00:18:29Doug.
00:18:30Hi.
00:18:31Oh, are you...
00:18:32My daughter, Erin.
00:18:34Oh, nice to meet you.
00:18:36Nice to meet you.
00:18:37Oh, I was hoping
00:18:38I'd see you over the years,
00:18:39but no such luck.
00:18:41So, about the sale.
00:18:44Oh, sorry.
00:18:46I have an all-cash offer,
00:18:47and my client is very motivated.
00:18:50So, they really love the house?
00:18:53Yes, but more so the land.
00:18:55I think they want to build
00:18:56something bigger,
00:18:57maybe more modern.
00:18:58It's not really my taste,
00:19:00but they're the client.
00:19:04Oh, well.
00:19:06It's the way of the world nowadays, huh?
00:19:08More modern.
00:19:09I've got all the paperwork
00:19:10back at my office.
00:19:13So, how long are you in town for?
00:19:16Well, we're supposed to leave
00:19:17the day after Christmas.
00:19:19That's enough time to wrap it up.
00:19:21Oh, I don't know why not.
00:19:23But, hey, you'll be here
00:19:24for the Borealis Ball.
00:19:26Did they still do that?
00:19:2875 years and counting.
00:19:29Oh.
00:19:30And you're talking to the chair
00:19:31of the planning committee.
00:19:32Oh.
00:19:34It's not really a formal ball,
00:19:36but the night before Christmas Eve,
00:19:37the whole town comes together
00:19:38to raise money for charity.
00:19:39It's loads of fun.
00:19:41I bet it is.
00:19:42Yeah.
00:19:42You know, I'd love to catch up properly
00:19:45if you had some free time.
00:19:48I'd like that.
00:19:53Well, I mean, you know,
00:19:55you guys could do that right now
00:19:56because I was planning on
00:19:58taking a little walk anyway.
00:19:59Are you sure, hon?
00:20:02Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:20:03It's fine.
00:20:04I need the exercise.
00:20:05And plus, I have to get
00:20:05some warmer gear, so.
00:20:07Oh, you should try
00:20:08Nordic Outfitters on Pine Ridge.
00:20:10They have everything.
00:20:11Pine Ridge?
00:20:12Mm-hmm.
00:20:13All right.
00:20:15Uh, okay.
00:20:16Well, you guys have fun.
00:20:18Yeah.
00:20:19It's nice to meet you.
00:20:20I'm going to meet you, too.
00:20:21See ya.
00:20:21Forty-eight Pine Ridge.
00:20:30Forty-eight Pine Ridge.
00:20:33This is not it.
00:20:36Okay.
00:20:37Hey.
00:20:38Morning.
00:20:38Oh!
00:20:39Oh, sorry.
00:20:40Hey.
00:20:41Oh, hey.
00:20:41Hey.
00:20:42Hi.
00:20:43Easy enough to get around, huh?
00:20:45Yeah, yeah.
00:20:46Oh, those apps will get you hurt?
00:20:48Very funny.
00:20:49No, I was looking for
00:20:51Forty-eight Pine Ridge,
00:20:52and this is it,
00:20:54but it's not Nordic Outfitters.
00:20:55Ah.
00:20:56No, this is Forty-eight
00:20:57Pine Ridge Street.
00:20:58You're looking for
00:20:59Forty-eight Pine Ridge Place,
00:21:00which is three blocks that way.
00:21:02Oh, okay.
00:21:04Three very cold blocks.
00:21:06It gets warmer
00:21:06as you go that way.
00:21:09I can give you a ride
00:21:10if you want.
00:21:11No, no, that's fine.
00:21:12I can brave the cold.
00:21:14I actually know
00:21:15a place that's better.
00:21:16It's about half a block down.
00:21:17I can take you
00:21:18if you want to see it.
00:21:19Oh.
00:21:19Uh, no, I'm...
00:21:21I'm sure you've got
00:21:22more important things to do.
00:21:24Well, you're my guest in town.
00:21:25What's more important than you?
00:21:28Well, uh,
00:21:30that's very kind of you.
00:21:31Uh, sure.
00:21:32You can use company.
00:21:34Okay, right this way.
00:21:37What about Cyrus?
00:21:39Is he still stubborn as ever?
00:21:41Oh, he hasn't changed a bit,
00:21:43but that's why we love him.
00:21:45So when are you two
00:21:46going to get together?
00:21:47Uh, I'm not quite sure.
00:21:49He told me he was gonna
00:21:50try to get back early
00:21:51from his trip.
00:21:51Oh, I hope he does.
00:21:53I mean, you're only here
00:21:54till right after Christmas.
00:21:55That gives you
00:21:56four days
00:21:57for the perfect homecoming?
00:21:58Yeah.
00:22:00So,
00:22:01is it just you and Aaron
00:22:02on this trip?
00:22:03Yeah.
00:22:04Father and daughter trip.
00:22:05Hmm.
00:22:06Yeah, my wife,
00:22:09Elise,
00:22:10passed away
00:22:11almost five years ago.
00:22:13Oh, I'm sorry.
00:22:17What about you?
00:22:19Are you married?
00:22:20Have kids?
00:22:21Oh, no.
00:22:22But I have lots of nieces
00:22:23and nephews
00:22:24and some grandnephews,
00:22:25so they keep me busy.
00:22:27I bet they do.
00:22:28Yeah.
00:22:29But me, I
00:22:29just never met
00:22:32the right person, I guess.
00:22:34Maybe I'm too picky.
00:22:35Okay, let me get that.
00:22:44Okay.
00:22:45Sorry.
00:22:47Wow, I think
00:22:48you bought out
00:22:49the whole store.
00:22:49Yeah, you can't
00:22:51do that to me.
00:22:52You can't take me
00:22:52in there with all
00:22:53that cute stuff.
00:22:54No way.
00:22:56And by the way,
00:22:57is it winter?
00:22:58Because I can't tell.
00:23:00Well, that's good.
00:23:01I'm glad you feel better.
00:23:02All these clothes
00:23:03are made out of material
00:23:04that we've been using
00:23:04to survive
00:23:05in sub-zero temperatures
00:23:06for a very long time.
00:23:07Nice.
00:23:08Yeah.
00:23:09Oh, and thank you
00:23:10for the Trevor discount.
00:23:12Hey, anytime.
00:23:13You know, you're shopping local.
00:23:14They like that.
00:23:15So do I.
00:23:19You really love it here,
00:23:20don't you?
00:23:21Yep.
00:23:24Yeah, my roots go
00:23:25pretty deep here
00:23:26with my family.
00:23:26So it probably sounds
00:23:28kind of corny.
00:23:29It's an occupational hazard.
00:23:31No, no.
00:23:32I actually think
00:23:33it sounds refreshing.
00:23:35I can't imagine
00:23:36being from a place
00:23:37like this, really.
00:23:38I mean,
00:23:39I guess Boston
00:23:41is my home.
00:23:42I mean,
00:23:42it's where I spent
00:23:42most of my adult life.
00:23:45My mom was in the military,
00:23:48so we moved around a lot.
00:23:49And I know my dad's
00:23:50from here, right?
00:23:51But, I don't know,
00:23:53I don't really get
00:23:54a sense of my roots,
00:23:55much less my history.
00:23:58Well, I mean,
00:23:58everybody has a history, right?
00:24:00You just haven't
00:24:01found yours yet.
00:24:04Yeah, maybe.
00:24:06And besides,
00:24:06I mean,
00:24:06you got all these
00:24:07new fancy clothes,
00:24:08you're ready for the weather,
00:24:09and it is lunchtime,
00:24:11so you hungry?
00:24:13Yeah.
00:24:14Yeah, but I was just
00:24:15going to go back
00:24:15to my bed and breakfast
00:24:16and get some room service.
00:24:20Wait a minute.
00:24:21Does a bed and breakfast
00:24:22have room service?
00:24:23No.
00:24:24If only you had
00:24:25your very own personal guide
00:24:26who knew every
00:24:27great spot in this town.
00:24:28Hmm.
00:24:29You know anybody
00:24:29I can call?
00:24:30Yeah.
00:24:31Yeah, I have an idea.
00:24:37Speaking of which,
00:24:38what do you do for it?
00:24:40I'm a writer.
00:24:41Really?
00:24:42Mm-hmm.
00:24:42That's cool.
00:24:43What do you write?
00:24:44No, wait.
00:24:45Oh, I'm going to guess.
00:24:47Okay.
00:24:50Mysteries?
00:24:52No.
00:24:52No?
00:24:53No.
00:24:53Okay, romance?
00:24:55No.
00:24:56No, it's nothing
00:24:57that exciting.
00:24:58I'm an urban historian.
00:25:00Oh.
00:25:01So you write about cities.
00:25:02Mm-hmm.
00:25:02Okay, what cities
00:25:03have you written about?
00:25:05Well, so far,
00:25:06I've only written one book
00:25:07about the history
00:25:08of the streets of Boston.
00:25:09Okay.
00:25:10But my publisher
00:25:12is currently pushing me
00:25:13for a second book idea
00:25:15and I am completely stuck.
00:25:17Yeah, I have no idea
00:25:18what to write about.
00:25:20How'd you come up
00:25:21with the idea
00:25:21for your first book?
00:25:22I was sitting in Boston traffic,
00:25:25if you can believe it.
00:25:26Yeah.
00:25:27At a standstill
00:25:28and I was looking around
00:25:29and I thought to myself,
00:25:32you know,
00:25:32this cannot be
00:25:33what the founders
00:25:34of this city
00:25:35had envisioned
00:25:35for its future.
00:25:36You know,
00:25:37because the decisions
00:25:38that they make
00:25:38way back then,
00:25:40they affect me,
00:25:41you,
00:25:41millions of people,
00:25:42right?
00:25:42Yeah.
00:25:43So,
00:25:44I don't know,
00:25:45I was just interested in it.
00:25:46So I started digging
00:25:47and,
00:25:48well, you know what?
00:25:49I had a book.
00:25:51Didn't even feel like work.
00:25:53Wow.
00:25:53Sounds like it just kind of
00:25:55came out of your own curiosity.
00:25:57Yeah.
00:25:58Well, maybe you just need
00:25:59another question to ask.
00:26:00Huh?
00:26:01Or,
00:26:02actually,
00:26:02you just need to find out
00:26:03what's nagging you.
00:26:04Like traffic.
00:26:05Hmm.
00:26:06Well,
00:26:07the only thing
00:26:07that's nagging me right now
00:26:08is I don't know
00:26:10what to write about.
00:26:11what to write about.
00:26:13Let's go.
00:26:44Oh.
00:26:49All right, Pop. I'm ready to go.
00:26:53Well, look at you.
00:26:55Aren't you the height of outdoor fashion?
00:26:58Well, Trevor helped me pick out all this stuff.
00:27:01Trevor.
00:27:04Stop.
00:27:05Okay, I just got a little lost downtown, and I ran into him,
00:27:08and so he took me to a place where all the locals shop,
00:27:11and then we went to lunch.
00:27:14Lunch?
00:27:16Oh, good evening, you two.
00:27:18Hi.
00:27:19Hey.
00:27:20You know, I wish you'd have gotten me something here.
00:27:23I feel very underdressed.
00:27:26You look great, okay?
00:27:28What's not so great?
00:27:29I don't think we'll be able to see the lights this evening.
00:27:32Too overcast.
00:27:33Oh.
00:27:35No.
00:27:36Oh, that's a shame.
00:27:38Yeah.
00:27:39Well, better luck tomorrow, huh?
00:27:41Yeah.
00:27:42I like that attitude.
00:27:44And hey, you know what?
00:27:45There's an alternative.
00:27:46We have a Christmas market.
00:27:48Could go there.
00:27:49I think you'll love it.
00:27:51Yeah.
00:27:52Yeah.
00:27:53What do you think?
00:27:56Yeah.
00:27:57Yeah, actually, that does sound fun.
00:28:00So, yeah.
00:28:01Yeah, maybe I could, uh, I could invite Laura.
00:28:08Would that be okay with you?
00:28:12Yeah.
00:28:13Yeah, Dad.
00:28:14Yeah.
00:28:15It's a good idea.
00:28:18Okay.
00:28:19Well, hey, the more the merrier, right?
00:28:21Can I grab that for you?
00:28:22Sure, thanks.
00:28:23Cool.
00:28:24All right.
00:28:26Oh, smile.
00:28:32You're with Sina.
00:28:34See you at the ball.
00:28:35Save me a dance.
00:28:37By the way, Laura, speaking of dancing,
00:28:40I would like to know if my dad was a good dancer back in the day
00:28:43or is he just a big old nerd that just stood up against the wall?
00:28:47Ah, he was smart.
00:28:49But way too cute to fit in the nerd category.
00:28:53Oh, at least I'd have known that then.
00:28:57You know, Laura here, she was exactly what you expect.
00:29:02A feisty girl next door that most all the boys had a crush on.
00:29:08Most all the boys?
00:29:09I plead to fit.
00:29:10Okay, everybody, let's give Santa a little break and start our annual caroling open mic.
00:29:17Remember, it's for the church charity, just $5 per song.
00:29:21So come on up, help your neighbors, and spread that Christmas cheer.
00:29:25Okay, all right, all right.
00:29:28So I'm going to make the donation, and you're going to pick this off.
00:29:32Huh?
00:29:33But you want me to sing?
00:29:34Yeah.
00:29:36No, I don't sing.
00:29:37Oh, come on.
00:29:38It's for charity.
00:29:39Well, I don't mind donating.
00:29:41I'll even cheer for you.
00:29:42Woo!
00:29:43But, uh, no, you don't want to hear me sing.
00:29:45None of you do.
00:29:45Trust me.
00:29:46I'm going to ruin all these folks' Christmas.
00:29:47You're not going to ruin Christmas.
00:29:50But you can be a bah humbug.
00:29:51Fine.
00:29:53Dad.
00:29:53No.
00:29:54You sure?
00:29:56No.
00:29:58Laura?
00:29:59Oh, I can't.
00:30:00I've been banned.
00:30:01I tend to get carried away.
00:30:05Okay, fine.
00:30:07I will be right back.
00:30:08Okay.
00:30:09All right.
00:30:10We have our first performer.
00:30:13Welcome.
00:30:14Hi.
00:30:15There you go.
00:30:16Okay.
00:30:17Okay.
00:30:19Hi, everybody.
00:30:21Merry Christmas.
00:30:22I am just going to sing the first verse of a lovely Christmas carol that just happens to be my mom's favorite.
00:30:31So.
00:30:31Aw.
00:30:32Wow.
00:30:34So.
00:30:35Okay.
00:30:40Silent night, holy night, all is calm, all is bright.
00:31:01Brown young virgin, mother and child, holy infant so tender and mild.
00:31:17Sleep in heavenly peace.
00:31:25Sleep in heavenly peace.
00:31:34Lovely.
00:31:42Lovely.
00:31:43Hey.
00:31:43Dad.
00:31:44So.
00:31:45I found us this really great hike.
00:31:59It's got four stars.
00:32:00Hon, a bit of a curveball.
00:32:02Mike, the real estate agent, called and he needs me to come down to the office and look over the offer.
00:32:08Oh, okay.
00:32:09Well, we'll just stop by there on the way.
00:32:11You don't have to come.
00:32:13Well, Dad, I want to come.
00:32:16This isn't an easy thing, you selling your house.
00:32:18Look, it's going to be okay.
00:32:20It means more to me that you have a very fun day.
00:32:24Hmm?
00:32:24Are you sure?
00:32:27Yes, I'm sure.
00:32:29Oh, okay.
00:32:31All right, I'll just catch a cab to the trailhead then.
00:32:34Uh, look, I, um, I didn't like the idea of you traipsing off to the wilderness by yourself.
00:32:40So, if you don't mind, I made some arrangements.
00:32:43Hmm?
00:32:46You called Trevor?
00:32:48Yeah.
00:32:49He promised me that he would give you a unique wilderness experience today.
00:32:53Dad, you didn't ask me.
00:32:55Well, if I had, I'm pretty sure you would have said no.
00:32:58Exactly.
00:32:59Hmm.
00:33:01Try and have fun.
00:33:04Goodbye, Dad.
00:33:05Goodbye.
00:33:14Hey.
00:33:15Hi.
00:33:16Christmas cookie of the day.
00:33:17That was really cute.
00:33:21Uh, but I'm not really a morning cookie type person.
00:33:25Okay, that's all right.
00:33:27Listen, your, uh, dad tells me that you're up for an adventure today.
00:33:29I am.
00:33:30Okay.
00:33:30Yes, and I'm doing a little research.
00:33:33Yeah.
00:33:33And there's this trail that I found online.
00:33:36Prospector Trail.
00:33:37Yeah.
00:33:37Yeah.
00:33:38It's pretty popular amongst the tourists.
00:33:41Nah, I think we can do better.
00:33:44Well, are you sure?
00:33:45Because it's probably popular for a reason.
00:33:48No, I'm positive.
00:33:51Okay.
00:33:52All right.
00:33:52Uh, well, what'd you have in mind?
00:33:55It's a surprise.
00:33:57Don't really like surprises.
00:33:59Okay, well, listen.
00:34:00If you don't like it, we'll go hike Prospector Trail.
00:34:02Well, twice.
00:34:05Deal?
00:34:07Deal.
00:34:08Okay.
00:34:09Okay.
00:34:27All right, right this way.
00:34:32Wow.
00:34:37Silver Lake.
00:34:39One of my favorite spots.
00:34:42It's so quiet out here.
00:34:45I won't get that in the city.
00:34:48No, you do not.
00:34:51That's a gift, really.
00:34:53Just all the peace and quiet.
00:34:55It allows you to just really listen.
00:34:56All right.
00:35:04Follow me.
00:35:05Whoa, whoa, whoa.
00:35:05Hold on.
00:35:06Out there?
00:35:06Yeah.
00:35:07We're just gonna walk across.
00:35:09Isn't that a lake?
00:35:11Yeah.
00:35:13Okay, but that's just a bunch of snow covering the ice.
00:35:16Yes.
00:35:17No, it's safe, okay?
00:35:18It's really thick, actually.
00:35:19I usually drive across it this time of year.
00:35:21You want to drive instead?
00:35:22No, no, no, no.
00:35:22No, I don't want to drive.
00:35:24I don't want to walk.
00:35:24I'm not going out there.
00:35:26Here.
00:35:28Okay.
00:35:29No, that's fine if you're more comfortable here.
00:35:30I mean, that's fine.
00:35:32I mean, we can probably still see him from here.
00:35:33See who?
00:35:36Who are we looking for?
00:35:39Huh?
00:35:40It's a surprise.
00:35:44Okay.
00:35:45I don't see anything.
00:35:47There they are.
00:35:48Okay.
00:35:48I've seen two of those.
00:35:52A little to the left.
00:35:53Huh?
00:35:54Okay, there's a clearing in the trees.
00:35:55I don't see anything.
00:35:56There's a bit of a clearing once you see them.
00:35:58I don't know.
00:35:59You see them?
00:35:59Yeah.
00:36:01What are they?
00:36:03Caribou.
00:36:07Like reindeer?
00:36:08Yeah.
00:36:11They come through here quite often, so I was really hoping you'd get a chance to see them.
00:36:14You know, in person.
00:36:16Maybe not in some guidebook or...
00:36:18You definitely won't see them on another tour.
00:36:20Remember, my dad used to bring me out here all the time.
00:36:24He used to tell me that those were Santa's reindeer.
00:36:26You know, and they were out in landings, like, for Christmas Eve.
00:36:29That's good.
00:36:30Oh, no.
00:36:35I mean, I've never seen anything like it.
00:36:41I mean, real life, anyway.
00:36:44You did good.
00:36:48This was cool.
00:36:48Oh, yeah.
00:36:54All right.
00:36:58All right, well, on to what's next.
00:37:00What's that?
00:37:01It's a saw.
00:37:02I know it's a saw, but what's it for?
00:37:04It's for the ice.
00:37:05You brought your bathing suit, right?
00:37:06We can come back tomorrow, we'll prep the space today,
00:37:08and then hit a cold plunge tomorrow.
00:37:12You're kidding, right?
00:37:13No.
00:37:14I'm not going to go do some polar bear plunge with you.
00:37:19No?
00:37:19No, I am not your girl for that.
00:37:21Like that's a hard no?
00:37:22Yes.
00:37:22Yes.
00:37:23No, no, that's a hard no.
00:37:25No.
00:37:28You sure it's really cold?
00:37:29I mean, it's invigorating.
00:37:30It's good for your mood, great for your circulation and entorphins.
00:37:32Okay, my mood and my circulation are so good.
00:37:36I'm really happy with those things.
00:37:40Okay.
00:37:44Well, go to plan B.
00:37:49Follow me.
00:37:54Get back!
00:37:58You weren't actually going to go swimming, were you?
00:38:03Hey, if you would have went in, I would have went with you.
00:38:09Okay, so now I need a tree.
00:38:10Doesn't have to be anything fancy.
00:38:11My place is pretty small.
00:38:12Wait a minute, then what was that?
00:38:14Oh, that one's from my uncle.
00:38:16Uh, what do you think of this?
00:38:19Uh, ooh.
00:38:22Ooh.
00:38:23No?
00:38:24I mean, well, I mean, it's just ordinary and...
00:38:26Oh.
00:38:27It's not ordinary.
00:38:30Okay.
00:38:32I'll take that as a compliment.
00:38:33Can I ask you a personal question?
00:38:39Yes.
00:38:42I mean, aside from your mountain man-esque kind of fashion and your total unwillingness to accept modern technology,
00:38:53you seem like a nice normal guy, you know, and I'm sure you meet women from all around the world with your job, so why are you single?
00:39:02Oh, hold on, hold on, hold on.
00:39:06Let me guess.
00:39:07You're the picky type.
00:39:09Hmm?
00:39:11I might be, just a little.
00:39:12I knew it.
00:39:13Well, and I have a rule.
00:39:16Hmm.
00:39:17Well, I keep my relations with my guests purely professional, even if I may be tempted to act otherwise.
00:39:25It's a solid rule.
00:39:32Yeah.
00:39:35Hey.
00:39:36You like this one?
00:39:36Yeah.
00:39:38Look, I mean, it's like, it's screaming you.
00:39:41It's like if, if you were a Christmas tree, that's what you'd look like.
00:39:47What do you think?
00:39:50Hmm?
00:39:51You know, the magic of a Christmas tree.
00:39:53Star on top for all to see.
00:39:56We all bring gifts on bended knee.
00:40:00To remember the coming of the newborn king.
00:40:04That's nice of that Robert Frost.
00:40:08Miss Sadler's eighth grade English class, Trevor Crane.
00:40:11Really? You wrote that?
00:40:13Yeah.
00:40:13Oh, that's great.
00:40:15Good show.
00:40:16You're a poet.
00:40:16Oh, I remember that. I have no idea.
00:40:18But, uh, you know what? I'm gonna keep my day job. I'll leave the writing up to you, okay?
00:40:22Hey, speaking of which, you have a book to come up with, right? So, listen, I can take you back, leave you alone for a while.
00:40:28No, no, no, no, no.
00:40:30Um, I, I can do that later before you pick me up tonight.
00:40:35But right now, I think that, uh, this is your guy.
00:40:42Really?
00:40:43Yeah.
00:40:43Oh, how do you know that's a guy?
00:40:45It's clearly a guy.
00:40:46It's tall, handsome, and I feel like he's gonna be kind of stubborn.
00:40:50Okay, there it is. Well, we'll see.
00:41:00Let's get you in the buzz. Let's get you warmed up. We've got some complimentary hot chocolate. Some really fun surprises. I promise you the night of a late time.
00:41:07There he is.
00:41:07Hey, buddy.
00:41:08All right, so when I say I know a guy, Noah, this is a client of mine and friend Erin Barnes.
00:41:16Hi, nice to meet you.
00:41:17Hi, nice to meet you. Are you enjoying your vacation?
00:41:19I am. Yeah, I am.
00:41:20Great.
00:41:21Uh, I'll be right back.
00:41:22Yeah.
00:41:24Hey.
00:41:24Hey.
00:41:25Hey.
00:41:27This could be you, buddy. Job's yours if you want to.
00:41:29Maybe go get on your bus.
00:41:30Oh, come on. All right, well, you have fun, okay?
00:41:31Yeah.
00:41:32Good, I'll tell you about it on my drive.
00:41:33Okay.
00:41:33Okay, ready to go.
00:41:50I'm, uh, I'm real sorry.
00:41:54I'm not going to see the lights tonight.
00:41:57Well, I don't understand, Luke. Where are all those people going?
00:42:01Uh, I don't know.
00:42:05There's not a cloud in the sky.
00:42:07Yeah.
00:42:09Yeah, I know.
00:42:11Well, let me guess.
00:42:13You know something they don't?
00:42:17Can't explain it.
00:42:21Okay, cool. Can you try?
00:42:23Yeah.
00:42:25Yeah, I can try.
00:42:27Um, so, if the northern lights are imminent, right, and there's an atmospheric shift that's a change in pressure, then...
00:42:37I guess I can't explain it.
00:42:42Okay?
00:42:43All I can say is I've been doing this a really long time, and it's just something you feel in the air.
00:42:47Okay?
00:42:47It's not, it's not physical.
00:42:49It's like a gut feeling you get.
00:42:50Okay.
00:42:53Okay.
00:42:56Okay, uh, well, Trevor, um, my dad and I have been here, what, three nights, right?
00:43:02We haven't seen the lights yet.
00:43:03So, how about just for, just for one night, we just ignore your little gut feeling, and we follow my Aurora tracker app, which says, by the way, there's a 28% chance that we'll see him tonight.
00:43:15So, Aaron, I get it, okay?
00:43:19Hey, it's a natural phenomenon.
00:43:21You want to see it, right?
00:43:22Look, you want to catch it, and you'll do whatever it takes.
00:43:24Trust me, that app, it has an algorithm.
00:43:27It takes its best guess, but it's all it is.
00:43:29It's a guess.
00:43:29Okay?
00:43:31It doesn't have human intuition.
00:43:32It doesn't...
00:43:34Look, honestly, I don't want to waste your time, okay?
00:43:36I don't want to drive you all the way out there and bring you all the way back.
00:43:39Just for nothing.
00:43:43There's no chance.
00:43:47No.
00:43:48Listen, how about I make it up to you tomorrow morning, okay?
00:43:51Take you out on a special one-of-a-kind outing.
00:43:54Okay?
00:43:56Yeah.
00:44:00Okay.
00:44:01You win.
00:44:01Yeah.
00:44:03I'm just trying to be a good guy.
00:44:06Okay?
00:44:06Thank you for trusting me.
00:44:07Really.
00:44:10Listen, why don't you two go inside and warm up, okay?
00:44:13That's good.
00:44:14Good night.
00:44:16Good night.
00:44:17Good night.
00:44:17Good night.
00:44:22I'm scared.
00:44:24He actually thought I was going to jump in that lake.
00:44:33I can't imagine you doing a polar bear swim.
00:44:36Never.
00:44:37But I'm glad you had a fun day.
00:44:40I did.
00:44:41I had a lot of fun, in fact.
00:44:44Hmm.
00:44:44Yeah.
00:44:44Ugh.
00:44:47Oh, my God.
00:44:50Once again, I am so sorry, ladies and gentlemen.
00:44:57Sometimes the weather just doesn't want to behave itself.
00:45:01But we will prevail.
00:45:03Tomorrow.
00:45:07And hey, let's look at the bright side.
00:45:09The hour each way on the bus just gave me the opportunity to acquaint you all with my
00:45:14full range of spoken word Christmas carol repertoire.
00:45:20Thanks again.
00:45:21And, um, have a good night.
00:45:25Dad, that could have been us.
00:45:27You owe somebody an apology.
00:45:28Hey, stranger.
00:45:41Ha!
00:45:41Cyrus, you made it.
00:45:43I told you I would.
00:45:44Ha!
00:45:45Ha!
00:45:47What's that, Aaron?
00:45:49You weren't so tall the last time I saw you.
00:45:51Ha!
00:45:52Ha!
00:45:52Ha!
00:45:52Ha!
00:45:53Ha!
00:45:53Ha!
00:45:53Ha!
00:45:53Ha!
00:45:54Ha!
00:45:54Ha!
00:45:55Ha!
00:45:55Ha!
00:45:56Why don't I borrow one of your clients for a bit?
00:45:58Sorry to interrupt your tour.
00:46:00No, no, no worries.
00:46:01Uh, why don't I catch up with you two later?
00:46:06What do you think?
00:46:07Huh?
00:46:09Okay.
00:46:10Sure, sure, Dad.
00:46:11Yes.
00:46:11Go have fun.
00:46:12Ha!
00:46:12Ha!
00:46:17Uh, I guess it's just the two of us.
00:46:20I guess so.
00:46:20Ha!
00:46:22Uh, hey, by the way, I just want to apologize
00:46:25because you had a natural instinct about the lights last night
00:46:29and I wanted to listen to some app
00:46:31and I was wrong, so I'm sorry.
00:46:36Appreciate that.
00:46:49Ha!
00:46:50Wow.
00:46:51Well, here we are.
00:46:54Yeah, this land belongs to my family.
00:46:57In the spring, we make maple syrup over here.
00:47:00And, as you can see, these are all the bells that you would hear.
00:47:05Yeah, what are they for?
00:47:08Well, actually, generations ago, we started this family tradition
00:47:12where everybody comes out at Christmas and hangs up a bell.
00:47:16We started with my great-grandma
00:47:18and, uh, I don't know, apparently her favorite carol was
00:47:22I Heard the Bells on Christmas Day.
00:47:24Hmm.
00:47:25I mean, if you've never heard the song before,
00:47:27it's all about how peace prevails on Earth,
00:47:28and so I guess that was just really inspirational for her
00:47:31and she came out here and started hanging out bells
00:47:34just so that everyone could hear the same message.
00:47:38I love that.
00:47:39Yeah, it wasn't long after that.
00:47:40The whole family got on board.
00:47:41The one was coming out during the holidays
00:47:44to hang up a bell to represent themselves.
00:47:48It's beautiful.
00:47:51I mean, you have the most unique family tradition.
00:47:54It's...
00:47:55It's special.
00:47:59Yeah.
00:48:00It is.
00:48:07Hey.
00:48:08You hungry?
00:48:10Yeah, I could eat.
00:48:11Well, I packed the lunch.
00:48:13You have food?
00:48:13Yeah.
00:48:15Oh, I'm a guy.
00:48:16Of course I have food.
00:48:18Let's see.
00:48:18What do we have here?
00:48:19Okay.
00:48:20Bannock.
00:48:20Now, this is a traditional bread.
00:48:22What goes nicely with that, you ask?
00:48:24Well, some wild berry jam that I made myself.
00:48:27You made that?
00:48:28Yes, ma'am.
00:48:28Now, I also have some caribou jerky
00:48:31and, last but not least,
00:48:33some Northwest salmon.
00:48:35That's really good.
00:48:35Do you do this for all your clients?
00:48:40Do what?
00:48:43This.
00:48:44Everything.
00:48:45The reindeer,
00:48:47the gourmet food,
00:48:48the bells.
00:48:49Not the bells.
00:48:51The bells are just for you.
00:49:01Oh.
00:49:05That is...
00:49:07That's the most beautiful sound.
00:49:11It's like they're in sync.
00:49:17I guess that's the mystery of it all, huh?
00:49:21I lost my parents when I was 15,
00:49:23but every time I come out here,
00:49:26since both of them hung a bell up at Christmas,
00:49:29it's kind of like I get to spend a little time with them.
00:49:32I guess you could say that stuff.
00:49:41Gift from God.
00:49:44Yeah.
00:49:56We're close.
00:49:57We're almost there.
00:49:58Oh, oh, hold on, hold on.
00:50:01Are you going to shop for Christmas ornaments?
00:50:02I am.
00:50:03Really?
00:50:04Oh.
00:50:04For you.
00:50:05What?
00:50:06Yeah.
00:50:07You said you want to decorate your tree tonight,
00:50:09so it's on me.
00:50:11Okay, you don't have to do that.
00:50:13I know I don't have to,
00:50:15but I want to.
00:50:17Because, you know what,
00:50:19you have gone above and beyond,
00:50:21and I haven't exactly been gracious, so...
00:50:26You're welcome.
00:50:28Oh, hold on.
00:50:30Oh, here.
00:50:31Can you hold those?
00:50:31Yeah.
00:50:32Sorry.
00:50:33Ugh.
00:50:35Oh, it's my dad.
00:50:38Hey.
00:50:39Are you at a party?
00:50:40No, not a party.
00:50:42Just a little spontaneous mini reunion.
00:50:45Okay, well, let me guess.
00:50:47You're not going on the tour tonight.
00:50:49I'm sorry.
00:50:51Some other old friends came by to see me, and...
00:50:54One of those friends happened to be Laura.
00:50:56Oh, and Cyrus says he thinks the Northern Lights will be out in full force tonight, so take some pictures for me, okay?
00:51:14Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:51:15Yeah, yeah, yeah, for sure, I will.
00:51:17Okay.
00:51:19Bye.
00:51:20Oh, so your dad's out?
00:51:22He's out.
00:51:24The power of romance overshadows the power of nature, huh?
00:51:27I guess so.
00:51:28Oh, it's okay, though, because this whole trip is for him anyway, so it just makes it extra special.
00:51:36Well, I'll have to make sure that your evening is extra special as well.
00:51:39Well, I mean, you've been doing an adequate job.
00:51:43Oh, okay.
00:51:44Guess I'll have to step up my A game then.
00:51:46Guess you will.
00:51:48No Northern Lights for you tonight?
00:51:51I am beginning to think this is the real reason I'm here.
00:51:58Thank you for getting everyone together.
00:52:00Who, me?
00:52:01I just told a few folks that I ran into you the Aurora Gossip Mill took care of the rest.
00:52:06Oh.
00:52:07Thank you anyway.
00:52:08It's like holding a piece of ice.
00:52:18I bet.
00:52:19You almost done?
00:52:20Yeah, yeah, I think I got it.
00:52:27Oh, thanks.
00:52:28Here, you ready?
00:52:29Here.
00:52:32Right, go.
00:52:34Put it in.
00:52:38You're welcome.
00:52:46Okay, so, uh, what do we do now?
00:52:48Uh, now we wait.
00:52:59Hey, I was wondering, um, are there any tickets left for the Borealis Ball?
00:53:06Oh, well, they are going fast.
00:53:09But I think for a couple of special visiting guests, I could grab a pair.
00:53:13Well, I can't speak for my daughter, but I would really like to come.
00:53:19Wonderful.
00:53:20You can be my date.
00:53:22It would be my pleasure.
00:53:23Are you sure this is the right spot?
00:53:34I mean, we've been sitting here for over an hour.
00:53:38Well, when you're trying to look at a natural phenomenon, I have found that you're always testing new patients.
00:53:46Hmm, well, I don't know about that, because all these people on the tour have seen it.
00:53:55Yeah, it's not bad.
00:53:56Not bad.
00:53:57Yeah.
00:53:57It's amazing.
00:53:59Hey, you can't trust those guides, okay?
00:54:02Some of them are pretty tricky.
00:54:04Those pictures, probably not even taken today.
00:54:06In fact, I know they're not taken today.
00:54:07Okay, but these are selfies.
00:54:10Not from today.
00:54:13I just don't think you'd like to admit you're wrong.
00:54:16It's because I'm not wrong.
00:54:20Hey, I know I've lost some business to these big tour companies, okay?
00:54:24But I'm not going to stoop to that level.
00:54:27I didn't say stoop to that level.
00:54:30I just, you know, I just admit that maybe you could pick up a few tricks, you know, play the game a little more.
00:54:40Play the game?
00:54:42Yeah.
00:54:42This isn't a game for me.
00:54:44This is, I don't know, doing what I love.
00:54:48Okay, and I understand that I have bills to pay.
00:54:50All right, so on one hand, I got money, and on the other hand, I got my heart.
00:54:55And you know what?
00:54:56My heart's telling me that God doesn't want to just show you a picture on social media, okay?
00:55:00He wants to bring you out here because he's going to show you something that he wants to paint for you in real life, in real time, right before your eyes.
00:55:09There's no way I have to track that.
00:55:15Look, I know that, okay?
00:55:18And I appreciate the way you think I do.
00:55:21But I've actually been thinking about your situation a little bit.
00:55:27Trevor, you see the world.
00:55:30It's your beautiful and unique way.
00:55:33You really do.
00:55:36That's a gift.
00:55:37I mean, if you combine the way you see everything with the knowledge and the insight that you have,
00:55:44you could create an app for your business that would let people see this town through your eyes.
00:55:54Trevor, I'm just trying to help you.
00:55:56You're running a business.
00:55:58You need to think like a businessman.
00:56:00Like a businessman?
00:56:03Yeah.
00:56:04Well, I don't think that works for me.
00:56:07And if you're being honest, I don't think it works for you either.
00:56:10What are you talking about?
00:56:11Well, just think about it, right?
00:56:12I mean, maybe that's why you haven't gotten the idea for your next book yet.
00:56:16Because you're too busy spending time trying to think of what's going to sell instead of what matters to you.
00:56:21I mean, my roots are important to me.
00:56:23It's who I am.
00:56:24Can you say the same?
00:56:26My roots are important to me, yes.
00:56:28Okay.
00:56:28Well, then maybe you should just take a little more time to consider that.
00:56:31Look into it.
00:56:34Figure out what moves you inside.
00:56:37Instead of spending so much time trying to, I don't know, get a picture of the Northern Lights to put online to show your friends or whatever.
00:56:43Come on, that's not why I'm here.
00:56:44I don't think you know why you're here.
00:56:48You know, I just all of a sudden got really cold.
00:57:02You know, I think I'm going to call it a night if you don't want.
00:57:18You know, I think I'm going to call it a night if you don't want.
00:57:48I just feel bad about what happened.
00:58:01Well, I'm sure he feels worse.
00:58:05Hey, we've only got two more days left.
00:58:09You want to try and get on another tour?
00:58:11Hmm.
00:58:12I don't know.
00:58:14You don't.
00:58:15Well, there's just something that Trevor said that's just, I don't know, it's sticking with me.
00:58:24You know, ever since I got here, all I've been focusing on is seeing the lights.
00:58:29And I've completely ignored my own connection to this place.
00:58:32I mean, Dad, you're from here.
00:58:34Yeah?
00:58:34I should have been focusing on my own family history instead of worrying about checking off some bucket list box.
00:58:42Oh, come on.
00:58:43Stop being hard on yourself.
00:58:45Yes, you did come to see the lights.
00:58:46But you're learning there's a lot more to this place now.
00:58:49It's all good.
00:58:51Believe me.
00:58:52Yeah.
00:58:58So, uh, do you sell the house?
00:59:03I haven't signed anything yet.
00:59:07I don't really know that I can.
00:59:09You know, when I was 18, I used to sit up and look out my bedroom window at the stars for hours.
00:59:20Wondering if they'd be as beautiful for my college dorm or if I should just stay here.
00:59:26Well, I decided to take a chance.
00:59:28If I ever really wanted to live a truly full life, I left my friends and my family.
00:59:36I just went away.
00:59:39Then you met Mom.
00:59:43Best thing that ever happened to me.
00:59:45I know.
00:59:49But ever since we've come here, this place has been calling me back.
00:59:54Does that make any sense?
00:59:58Yeah.
01:00:01Yeah, Dad, it does.
01:00:03I mean, these are your roots.
01:00:06Your people.
01:00:07Your people, too.
01:00:22Sweetheart, there's something I want to tell you.
01:00:24Yeah.
01:00:25I have been thinking about staying here for a while.
01:00:32Really?
01:00:33Yeah.
01:00:33What do you think?
01:00:38Well, I think that whatever decision you choose to make is going to be the right one.
01:00:44I just want you happy.
01:00:45Me, too.
01:00:48Me, too.
01:00:52Come on.
01:00:53What do you want to do with this day, huh?
01:00:55Uh, well, I was thinking, Dad, maybe I could go over to Grandma and Grandpa's house.
01:01:01That is a good idea.
01:01:03I'm going to go along, then.
01:01:04Well, if you don't mind, I'd like to go alone.
01:01:08Oh.
01:01:09Just to, I don't know, maybe sit there and maybe I'll find a little inspiration for my book.
01:01:17That's a good idea.
01:01:18I say go for it.
01:01:21Okay.
01:01:21Okay.
01:01:22I say go for it.
01:01:52Looks like Dad.
01:02:52I got a good feeling about tonight.
01:02:58It's going to happen for us, all right?
01:03:01Yeah, go on in. Make yourself comfortable.
01:03:04Hey, Erin, right?
01:03:06Yeah. Hey. Hi.
01:03:09Okay, I got to ask.
01:03:11You seen the lights yet?
01:03:13Uh, no.
01:03:16See, Trevor mentioned that.
01:03:18So, we've had some spots open up.
01:03:21You want to see them tonight?
01:03:24Uh...
01:03:25Boy, you got to lose.
01:03:29We are leaving right now.

01:04:11Now, before we go, I got a special treat for you.
01:04:13I've arranged a little stop
01:04:15so you can get some Aurora souvenirs
01:04:17before we hit the road.
01:04:18All right.
01:04:19I'll just say you take a snack gift shop there, old buddy.
01:04:21Hey, come on in.
01:04:48We're giving a 10% discount to all our clients.
01:04:53Aaron.
01:04:55Hey.
01:04:55Coming in?
01:04:59Are you okay?
01:05:04Yeah.
01:05:05Yeah.
01:05:05I'm okay.
01:05:07Hey, Noah, can I ask you a question?
01:05:09Sure.
01:05:10You like your job?
01:05:12Yeah.
01:05:13Yes.
01:05:13I love my job.
01:05:15What do you like about it?
01:05:19Honestly?
01:05:20Yeah.
01:05:22It's the tips.
01:05:24I mean, I make enough every season
01:05:27to pay for six months surfing in Costa Rica every year.
01:05:31Doesn't get better than that.
01:05:39You know what?
01:05:40I think I'm going to pass on the tour tonight.
01:05:43Really?
01:05:44Yeah.
01:05:45You know, this is supposed to be
01:05:46the best sighting of the week.
01:05:48Yeah, I know.
01:05:49I know.
01:05:49But maybe I'll catch you next year.
01:05:52But thank you so much for the offer.
01:05:54Yeah.
01:05:55You know where to find us?
01:05:56Yeah.
01:05:57Merry Christmas.
01:05:59Merry Christmas.
01:05:59Merry Christmas.
01:05:59You've reached Aurora Excursions.
01:06:14The Northwest Territory's
01:06:15one-of-a-kind tour company.
01:06:17Can't take your call right now,
01:06:18but please leave me a message.
01:06:18Hey.
01:06:38Hey.
01:06:39Anne.
01:06:40Hi.
01:06:42Hi.
01:06:44What are you doing?
01:06:45I just wanted to come by
01:06:51and see how you are.
01:06:55Okay.
01:06:59Did you walk this whole way?
01:07:00I mean, that's pretty far
01:07:01from your bed and breakfast.
01:07:02Yeah.
01:07:04It's a bit of a hike.
01:07:04I'm not going to lie.
01:07:06But, you know,
01:07:07you helped me get these great boots,
01:07:09so I wanted to put them to the test.
01:07:11It's good to see you.
01:07:16I do have a cab on the way, though,
01:07:18so I'm not sure how much time I have.
01:07:19What's wrong with your van?
01:07:21Uh, nothing.
01:07:22I just, you know,
01:07:23didn't think it'd be a good form
01:07:24if I showed up to my new job.
01:07:28What do you mean?
01:07:30Noah's been asking me to
01:07:31go over to Northern Horizon,
01:07:33you know, for a couple months now.
01:07:35And I figured,
01:07:38well, if you can't beat him,
01:07:38well, uh,
01:07:46sorry, it's just a surprise.
01:07:49You've got to face the facts, right?
01:07:51It's been, what, a year?
01:07:53And I have been competing
01:07:54with these large companies,
01:07:56just taking all the money I'm making
01:07:57and putting it back into my own company.
01:07:58None of it worked.
01:08:00At least it doesn't appear to be.
01:08:03My bookings are dropping
01:08:04and my bank account's dropping, so...
01:08:05My uncle gave me a business
01:08:14and I failed it.
01:08:18I'm not failing.
01:08:20She feels that way.
01:08:22Yeah.
01:08:24I also wanted to refund you
01:08:25your trip because
01:08:27you didn't get to see the lights.
01:08:29No, no, no.
01:08:30I don't want any money back, okay?
01:08:32I just, I want you to
01:08:33keep your business open.
01:08:34Look, I went on Noah's tour and...
01:08:37You saw the lights?
01:08:39Well, no, actually, I didn't, uh,
01:08:42because I left.
01:08:44Why?
01:08:46I went on his bus and...
01:08:49yes, it's fancy
01:08:51and it has all the technology
01:08:53that you think that I would love,
01:08:55but I...
01:08:56I didn't.
01:08:58I didn't like it at all
01:09:00because all I could think about
01:09:02was how great your tour was
01:09:04and how much you put into it
01:09:05and all the heart.
01:09:06You care so much
01:09:08and it's really...
01:09:10Heron, I...
01:09:10I'm thankful that you,
01:09:15you see that.
01:09:16Okay, but the big machine doesn't.
01:09:18To be honest,
01:09:22I'm just tired of swerving up a stream.
01:09:29It's my ride.
01:09:32I don't want to be late
01:09:33on my first big day.
01:09:39It's a good scene.
01:09:40Hey, Trevor.
01:09:51You sure you want to do this?
01:09:57Choice to have.
01:10:00Merry Christmas.
01:10:02Merry Christmas.
01:10:10Come in.
01:10:32I'm not interrupting, am I?
01:10:34No.
01:10:35No, I'm just trying
01:10:36to get a little work done.
01:10:38What's up?
01:10:38Oh, I just came
01:10:40to check on you.
01:10:42I'm fine.
01:10:45So you're sure
01:10:46you don't want to come
01:10:47to the ball tonight?
01:10:49Oh, Dad,
01:10:50it does sound fun,
01:10:52but, uh,
01:10:53I think I'm gonna pass.
01:10:56Maybe Trevor will be there.
01:10:58Mm, I doubt it.
01:11:01Look,
01:11:02it's our last night in Aurora
01:11:03and I am so sorry
01:11:05the trip didn't turn out
01:11:06the way you'd hoped.
01:11:07but don't spend the end
01:11:08of it alone in here.
01:11:11It's Christmas.
01:11:15I really want you to come.
01:11:18Please.
01:11:23I can never say no to you.
01:11:27Okay, okay, I'll go.
01:11:28Ah, that's my girl.
01:11:32Ella.
01:11:33Glad I bought
01:11:34those two tickets anyway.
01:11:35Dad.
01:11:36What?
01:11:40Well, wait a minute.
01:11:41I don't even have
01:11:42anything to wear.
01:11:44Cyrus is lending me
01:11:45a suit.
01:11:46Does he happen
01:11:47to have a dress
01:11:48I could wear?
01:11:50No.
01:11:50But I think
01:11:53I know someone
01:11:54who can help you.
01:11:55Santa never forgets.
01:12:16Well, hello.
01:12:18Oh, wow.
01:12:19My niece was right.
01:12:20You look fabulous
01:12:21in her dress.
01:12:23By the way,
01:12:24this place looks amazing.
01:12:25You did a really good job.
01:12:26Oh, thank you.
01:12:28But I had some help.
01:12:30Oh, it's just a pair
01:12:32of extra hands.
01:12:33She's the one
01:12:33who did all the work.
01:12:34Oh, thank you.
01:12:36But I have to say
01:12:37it's the first time
01:12:37I've ever thrown
01:12:38a combination
01:12:39Christmas charity
01:12:40and farewell party.
01:12:41It's a little sad, actually.
01:12:43Yeah, we finally
01:12:44get together
01:12:45after all these years
01:12:46only to watch you
01:12:47disappear again, huh?
01:12:50Uh, about that, Cyrus.
01:12:52Um,
01:12:53I've decided
01:12:55not to sell.
01:12:56Oh.
01:12:57I can't do it.
01:12:58I'm sorry.
01:12:59Oh, I couldn't bear
01:13:01the thought
01:13:01of someone tearing down
01:13:02that beautiful house
01:13:03in your beautiful house.
01:13:05And also,
01:13:06I was kind of thinking,
01:13:08um,
01:13:09that I'm gonna hang around
01:13:10here a little while longer.
01:13:12Are you all right with that?
01:13:13Well, let me think about it.
01:13:16Yes.
01:13:17It took you too long enough.
01:13:19Um,
01:13:20what about you?
01:13:23I mean,
01:13:24are you gonna be okay
01:13:25going home alone, sweetheart?
01:13:26Well,
01:13:28there's been a little bit
01:13:30of change on my end, Dad.
01:13:31Uh,
01:13:32you know when I went over
01:13:33to Grandma and Grandpa's
01:13:34house the other day?
01:13:35Mm-hmm.
01:13:36I actually came up
01:13:37with my new book idea.
01:13:40No.
01:13:41Yeah.
01:13:42Yeah,
01:13:42I want to do
01:13:43a history of Aurora
01:13:45specifically focused
01:13:46on my great-great-grandfather.
01:13:48Gerald Barnes?
01:13:50That's a great idea.
01:13:51Well,
01:13:52my agent thinks so, too.
01:13:53I am gonna need to do
01:13:55a lot of
01:13:55hands-on
01:13:56research,
01:13:57so
01:13:57I think I'm gonna
01:13:59stick around a little while.
01:14:02Is that the only reason?
01:14:05Yes.
01:14:06Excuse me, ma'am.
01:14:07I was wondering
01:14:08if you'd be interested
01:14:08in a tour of Aurora.
01:14:13And this is when
01:14:14I steal your dad.
01:14:16And I'm going to
01:14:16snag some more
01:14:17Christmas punch.
01:14:20Hi.
01:14:21Hi.
01:14:21I thought you were working.
01:14:25Yeah, I was.
01:14:26Yeah.
01:14:26And then, uh,
01:14:28I quit.
01:14:29Just,
01:14:30yeah,
01:14:31walked off,
01:14:31came to my senses.
01:14:33About what?
01:14:34Well,
01:14:35I'm standing on that big
01:14:35tour bus,
01:14:36looking around at everyone,
01:14:37and I thought to myself,
01:14:38I'm never gonna know
01:14:39the first name
01:14:40of any of these people.
01:14:41It's one of the main
01:14:42things I love about
01:14:43my job right now
01:14:43is I get to know people.
01:14:45I get to take them out
01:14:46and show them
01:14:46a very unique experience
01:14:47and not this
01:14:48big, like,
01:14:49here you go,
01:14:50stand there,
01:14:50take a picture,
01:14:51we're done.
01:14:52So,
01:14:52Aurora excursions
01:14:53back in business?
01:14:56I think so,
01:14:56yeah.
01:14:57Well,
01:14:57I decided to take
01:14:58some advice
01:14:59from a friend of mine.
01:14:59She's a writer,
01:15:01and all the critics
01:15:02say she's not too bad.
01:15:03Not too bad.
01:15:04Yeah,
01:15:04I think I know her.
01:15:05Yeah,
01:15:05you might.
01:15:08So,
01:15:08I'm gonna take
01:15:09your advice
01:15:10and incorporate
01:15:12a little more technology
01:15:13into my company.
01:15:15Now,
01:15:15I'm hoping to
01:15:16bring in a steadier
01:15:17stream of clientele,
01:15:18and I still wanna do
01:15:19what I do,
01:15:20take them out
01:15:21and just give them
01:15:23a more unique experience
01:15:24of a personal touch.
01:15:26I think that's gonna
01:15:27work for you,

01:15:29Well,
01:15:29I hope so.
01:15:33I'm glad you came.

01:16:26You know what?
01:16:26I almost
01:16:29bought your
01:16:29bell last night.
01:16:31Really?
01:16:32Mm-hmm.
01:16:35Okay,
01:16:35well,
01:16:36when I got off
01:16:37the bus tonight,
01:16:38I was walking
01:16:39through town,
01:16:39and,
01:16:40uh...
01:16:41That's the same
01:16:52bell I was
01:16:52gonna get you.
01:16:53No.
01:16:54Yeah.
01:16:55Well,
01:16:57I mean,
01:16:57you just,
01:16:58I don't know,
01:16:58you said how much
01:16:59you liked it here,
01:16:59and I got you.
01:17:02Just,
01:17:02you could take it
01:17:03back to Boston
01:17:03with you,
01:17:04and I'll remind you
01:17:06of here.
01:17:11I mean,
01:17:13I don't need a bell
01:17:15to remember you.
01:17:16And since I'm
01:17:23sticking around
01:17:23for a little longer,
01:17:25I...
01:17:26Wait,
01:17:26what?
01:17:27Yeah.
01:17:28Really?
01:17:29Yes.
01:17:30Yes,
01:17:31it was actually
01:17:32from something
01:17:32that you said.
01:17:33It just,
01:17:34it made me think
01:17:35about a question
01:17:36that I wanted
01:17:37to answer
01:17:37in my own life,
01:17:38and that actually
01:17:40led me to my
01:17:41new book idea.
01:17:43Which is?
01:17:44Which is,
01:17:46uh,
01:17:47well,
01:17:47I found out
01:17:48that my great-great-grandfather
01:17:49actually was one
01:17:50of the first settlers
01:17:51of this town,
01:17:52and he has
01:17:52a fascinating story,
01:17:54and I'd like
01:17:56to explore it
01:17:56in my new book.
01:17:57Okay.
01:17:59Well,
01:18:00I mean,
01:18:00that sounds like
01:18:00a bestseller to me.
01:18:02I hope so.
01:18:04And I'm glad
01:18:05you're staying here.
01:18:07Me too.

01:18:36nine years old.

01:18:37No.
01:18:38Which one is it?
