00:00:00Hi.
00:00:02I come bearing gifts.
00:00:04Oh, thank you.
00:00:06Oh, no, no, no. Open it now.
00:00:08Now? Yeah. Okay.
00:00:14It's beautiful.
00:00:16You like it? I love it.
00:00:18Oh, thank you. You're welcome.
00:00:20It's gorgeous. I knew that you were
00:00:22decorating your tree.
00:00:24And, uh, I just wanted to get it to you in time,
00:00:26you know? This writer respects
00:00:28deadlines. So, speaking
00:00:30of deadlines...
00:00:32Oh, uh,
00:00:34right.
00:00:38An outline?
00:00:44Okay. Here we go. Now we are
00:00:46cooking. Okay.
00:00:48Wait a minute. We can't
00:00:50send this in. Well, I know that it's written
00:00:52out longhand. We'll just get someone to type it up. It's okay.
00:00:54No, no, no. It's...
00:00:56It's not that. It's just that, um...
00:00:58Oh.
00:01:00It's really bad.
00:01:02You're always too hard on yourself.
00:01:04No, I mean, I wrote this and I
00:01:06fell asleep reading it. Well,
00:01:08it's... I mean, it's the outline. It's not the book.
00:01:10I don't know. It's wrong.
00:01:12The Forgotten History
00:01:14of L.A. Urbanization?
00:01:16I mean, who am I kidding?
00:01:18Well, I mean, you made The Forgotten History
00:01:20of Boston Street's work.
00:01:22Well, yeah, because I... I live in Boston.
00:01:24Right? I'm connected to this place.
00:01:26But Los Angeles?
00:01:28It's just gonna be, uh...
00:01:30a bunch of research.
00:01:32You know? There's no...
00:01:34heart to that.
00:01:36It's not a good idea to reinvent the wheel.
00:01:38You know, but what if no one likes it?
00:01:40And I'm telling you, I am telling you,
00:01:42if this is my second book,
00:01:46I will not have a third.
00:01:50Well, so what do we do?
00:01:52I'll just find something I'm passionate about
00:01:54and write about it.
00:01:56Okay, well,
00:01:58we pitch them a new idea
00:02:00right after New Year's,
00:02:02then we stand a chance.
00:02:04Otherwise, we might lose the deal.
00:02:06Right after
00:02:08this New Year's.
00:02:10Yeah.
00:02:11All right, all right.
00:02:12Well, that's...
00:02:15fine.
00:02:16I can do that.
00:02:17Uh, I'll just...
00:02:18I'll work through Christmas
00:02:19and, um,
00:02:20get you something,
00:02:22let's say...
00:02:24January 2nd?
00:02:25Hey,
00:02:26if anyone can do it,
00:02:28you can.
00:02:29Ow.
00:02:30Well, I apologize for not making you dinner,
00:02:39but I didn't realize I was gonna be this busy.
00:02:41Oh, you have a deadline.
00:02:42I get it.
00:02:44Any new book ideas?
00:02:46No.
00:02:48Well, I have an idea for you.
00:02:52Might help to keep your mind off the book
00:02:53with a little adventure.
00:02:55Dad, what are you talking about?
00:02:59I can't go on an adventure.
00:03:00You're your old man.
00:03:01How about we?
00:03:03Take a little Christmas trip together
00:03:05on me.
00:03:08Oh.
00:03:10Dad, I wish I could.
00:03:12But it's just the wrong timing.
00:03:13You know, I'm so busy with this new book idea
00:03:16and I'm just...
00:03:18I gotta be honest with you.
00:03:19I am stuck.
00:03:21Maybe that's the thing.
00:03:23Maybe a change of scenery
00:03:24is just what you need
00:03:25to get you unstuck.
00:03:26And I have the perfect place.
00:03:28Where?
00:03:30Aurora.
00:03:32Your hometown?
00:03:34Yeah.
00:03:36Why so surprised?
00:03:38Well, just...
00:03:40we haven't been back there in forever.
00:03:42Well, the more reason to go.
00:03:44We had a great time up there
00:03:45when you were little.
00:03:46Mm.
00:03:48I remember...
00:03:50sort of.
00:03:51Yeah.
00:03:52I do remember Grandma and Grandpa's house.
00:03:54Are you still renting that place out?
00:03:56Yeah.
00:03:57And that's the thing.
00:03:59Last week, I get a call from my real estate guy.
00:04:01He says that he has got a very serious buyer interested
00:04:04and that now might be the time to let it go.
00:04:07Okay.
00:04:09Well, I'm telling you right now,
00:04:10that's not gonna be easy for me.
00:04:13There's too many memories.
00:04:15So that's why you want me to come?
00:04:18To be moral support?
00:04:22Yes.
00:04:24Christmas in Aurora is something very special.
00:04:27And it's the perfect place
00:04:30to see the Northern Lights.
00:04:32After all, they named the whole town
00:04:34after the Aurora Borealis.
00:04:36I mean, I have to admit,
00:04:37it would be pretty cool to see those lights
00:04:39as an adult.
00:04:40Oh, but, Dad, I am so busy.
00:04:45I have so much work to do.
00:04:46No, I'll give you plenty of time to do that.
00:04:48I promise you.
00:04:50Now, trust your old man, huh?
00:04:52If I tell you it's Christmas...
00:04:55You can hang your stocking.
00:05:00Okay.
00:05:02Aurora, here we come.
00:05:03That looks incredible.
00:05:04You know, look at all the colors.
00:05:05Okay, where is this town of Aurora exactly?
00:05:06It's in Northwest Territories.
00:05:08Oh, Canada.
00:05:09Oh, geez, sounds cold.
00:05:11Colder than here.
00:05:12Yeah.
00:05:13And like something out of an old Western.
00:05:14Like a one-street town
00:05:15with nothing but tumbleweeds and a saloon.
00:05:16Marlene, it's not that tiny.
00:05:17Look.
00:05:18I mean, I've got nice hotels.
00:05:32I've got this big fancy luxury tour buses.
00:05:35Look at this.
00:05:37Heated glamping tents.
00:05:39Okay.
00:05:40I can actually look at the Northern Lights from my bed.
00:05:42Okay.
00:05:44You know, a trip to get the creative genius...
00:05:45get the creative juices flowing is a good idea i think so i just thought you'd pick somewhere warmer
00:05:52well i mean i didn't pick this place but it's gonna make my dad happy so i'm gonna go okay plus
00:05:59i am ready for the cold yeah you think those boots will be warm enough up north
00:06:05with what i pay for these boots it better keep me warm in outer space okay let's see some more
00:06:11oh the northern lights are so cool
00:06:29okay all right dad let's get our rental and get some heat on
00:06:33actually i uh i couldn't find us a car what peak season the time i tried they're all out

00:07:00oh dad please tell me that you looked online and that this tour company had some good reviews
00:07:08oh i didn't bother with all that dad you have to because these tours are expensive

00:23:14you really love it here don't you yep
00:23:19yeah my roots go pretty deep here with my family so so it probably sounds kind of corny it's an
00:23:24occupational hazard no no i actually think it sounds refreshing i can't imagine being from a place
00:23:32like this really i mean i guess boston is my home i mean it's where i spent most of my adult life
00:23:40my uh my mom was in the military so we moved around a lot and i know my dad's from here right but
00:23:46i don't know i don't really get a sense of my roots much less my history well i mean everybody
00:23:53has a history right you just haven't found yours yet yeah maybe and besides i mean you got all these
00:24:02new fancy clothes you're ready for the weather and it is lunch time so you hungry yeah yeah but i was
00:24:09just gonna go back to my bed and breakfast and get some room service wait a minute does a bed and
00:24:16breakfast have room service no oh if only you had your very own personal guide who knew every
00:24:22great spot in this town you know anybody i can call yeah yeah i have an idea
00:24:27speaking of which what do you do for i'm a writer really that's cool what do you write no wait oh i'm
00:24:40gonna guess okay uh mysteries no no no okay romance no no it's nothing that exciting um i'm an urban
00:24:54historian oh so you write about cities okay what cities have you written about well so far i've only
00:25:01written one book about the history of the streets of boston okay but my publisher is currently pushing
00:25:08me for a second book idea and i am completely stuck yeah i have no idea what to write about
00:25:15how'd you come up with the idea for your first book i was sitting in boston traffic if you can believe it
00:25:21yeah that i stand still and i was looking around and i thought to myself you know this cannot be
00:25:28what the founders of this city had envisioned for its future you know because the decisions that they
00:25:33make way back then they affect me you millions of people right yeah so i don't know i was just
00:25:41interested in it so i started digging and well you know what i had a book didn't even feel like work
00:25:47wow sounds like it just kind of came out of your own curiosity yeah well maybe you just need another
00:25:54question to ask huh or actually you just need to find out what's nagging you like traffic
00:26:01well the only thing that's nagging me right now is i don't know what to write about
00:26:17all right pop i'm ready to go
00:26:45all right pop i'm ready to go
00:26:48well look at you aren't you the height of outdoor fashion
00:26:53well trevor helped me pick out all this stuff

00:31:54It's got four stars
00:31:55Hon, a bit of a curveball
00:31:56Mike, the real estate agent, called
00:31:59And he needs me to come down to the office
00:32:01And look over the offer
00:32:02Oh, okay, well we'll just stop by there on the way
00:32:06You don't have to come
00:32:07Well, Dad, I want to come
00:32:10This isn't an easy thing, you selling your house
00:32:13Look, it's going to be okay
00:32:14It means more to me that you have a very fun day
00:32:17Hmm?
00:32:19Are you sure?
00:32:22Yes, I'm sure
00:32:23Well, okay, all right, I'll just catch a cab to the trailhead then
00:32:29Look, I didn't like the idea of you traipsing off to the wilderness by yourself
00:32:35So, if you don't mind, I made some arrangements
00:32:37Hmm?
00:32:41You called Trevor?
00:32:43Yeah
00:32:43He promised me that he would give you a unique wilderness experience today
00:32:48Dad, you didn't ask me
00:32:50Well, if I had, I'm pretty sure you would have said no
00:32:52Exactly
00:32:54Try and have fun
00:32:57Goodbye, Matt
00:33:00Goodbye
00:33:01Hey
00:33:09Hi
00:33:10Christmas cookie of the day
00:33:12That was really cute
00:33:16But I'm not really a morning cookie type person
00:33:20Okay, that's all right
00:33:21Listen, your dad tells me that you're up for an adventure today
00:33:24I am
00:33:25Yes, and I'm doing a little research
00:33:27Yeah
00:33:28And there's this trail that I found online
00:33:31Prospector Trail
00:33:32Yeah
00:33:32Yeah
00:33:33It's pretty popular amongst the tourists
00:33:34Nah, I think we can do better
00:33:37Well, are you sure?
00:33:40Because it's probably popular for a reason
00:33:43No, I'm positive
00:33:44Okay, all right
00:33:47Uh, well, what'd you have in mind?
00:33:50It's a surprise
00:33:50Don't really like surprises
00:33:54Okay, well, listen
00:33:55If you don't like it
00:33:55We'll go hike Prospector Trail
00:33:57Twice
00:33:59Deal?
00:34:02Deal
00:34:02Okay
00:34:04Okay
00:34:04Thank you
00:34:20All right, right this way
00:34:23Wow
00:34:28Uh, Silver Lake
00:34:33One of my favorite spots
00:34:35It's so quiet out here
00:34:38I won't get that in the city
00:34:42No, you do not
00:34:44That's a gift, really
00:34:47Just all the peace and quiet
00:34:49It allows you to just really listen
00:34:51All right, follow me
00:34:59Whoa, whoa, hold on
00:35:01Out there?
00:35:01Yeah
00:35:02We're just gonna walk across
00:35:03Isn't that a lake?
00:35:06Yeah
00:35:06Okay, but that's just a bunch of snow
00:35:10Covering the ice
00:35:11Yes
00:35:11No, it's safe, okay
00:35:13It's really thick, actually
00:35:14I usually drive across it this time of year
00:35:16You wanna drive instead?
00:35:17No, no, no, no
00:35:17I don't wanna drive
00:35:18I don't wanna walk
00:35:19I'm not
00:35:19I'm not going out there
00:35:21Okay
00:35:22No, that's fine
00:35:24If you're more comfortable here
00:35:25I mean
00:35:26That's fine
00:35:26I mean, we can probably still see them from here
00:35:28See who?
00:35:31Who are we looking for?
00:35:34Huh?
00:35:35Yes
00:35:35It's a surprise
00:35:36Okay
00:35:39I don't see anything
00:35:41I don't see anything
00:35:41Yeah, they are
00:35:42Okay
00:35:43I see two of those
00:35:44Go to the left
00:35:48Huh?
00:35:49Okay, there's a clearing in the trees
00:35:50I don't see anything
00:35:51There's a bit of a clearing once you see them
00:35:53I don't know
00:35:53You see them?
00:35:54Yeah
00:35:55Oh, what are they?
00:35:58Garibut
00:35:59Like reindeer?
00:36:03Yeah
00:36:03They come through here quite often
00:36:07So I was really hoping you'd get a chance to see them
00:36:09You know, in person
00:36:10Maybe not in some guidebook
00:36:12Or
00:36:12You definitely won't see them on another tour
00:36:15My dad used to bring me out here all the time
00:36:18He used to tell me that those were Santa's reindeer
00:36:21You know, and they were out in landings
00:36:22Like for Christmas Eve
00:36:24That's good
00:36:25Oh
00:36:28No
00:36:29Gorgeous
00:36:33Never seen anything like it
00:36:36I mean, real life anyway
00:36:39You did good
00:36:42This was cool
00:36:43Yeah
00:36:44All right
00:36:50All right
00:36:54Well, on to what's next
00:36:55What's that?
00:36:56It's a saw
00:36:57I know it's a saw
00:36:58But what's it for?
00:36:59It's for the ice
00:37:00You brought your bathing suit, right?
00:37:01We can come back tomorrow
00:37:02We'll prep the space today
00:37:03And then hit a cold plunge tomorrow
00:37:05You're kidding, right?
00:37:08No
00:37:09I'm not gonna go do some polar bear plunge with you
00:37:13No
00:37:14No, I'm not your girl for that
00:37:16Like that's a hard no?
00:37:17Yes
00:37:17Yes
00:37:18Yes
00:37:18No
00:37:19No, no
00:37:19That's a hard no
00:37:20No
00:37:21You sure it's really cold?
00:37:24I mean, it's invigorating
00:37:25It's good for your mood
00:37:26Great for your circulation
00:37:27Endorphins
00:37:27Okay, my mood and my circulation
00:37:29Are so good
00:37:31I'm really happy with
00:37:32Those things
00:37:34Okay
00:37:35Well
00:37:40Go to plan B
00:37:41Follow me
00:37:45Get back
00:37:50You weren't actually gonna go swimming, were you?
00:37:58Hey, if you would've went in
00:37:59I would've went with you
00:38:00Okay, so now I need a tree
00:38:05Doesn't have to be anything fancy
00:38:06My place is pretty small
00:38:07Wait a minute
00:38:08Then what was that?
00:38:09Oh, that one's from my uncle
00:38:10Uh, what do you think of this?
00:38:14Um
00:38:14No?
00:38:19I mean, well
00:38:19I mean, it's just ordinary
00:38:21And
00:38:21Oh
00:38:22It's not ordinary
00:38:23Okay
00:38:26I'll take that as a compliment
00:38:28Can I ask you a personal question?
00:38:35Yes
00:38:35I mean, aside from your
00:38:39Mountain man-esque
00:38:42Kind of fashion
00:38:43And your total unwillingness to
00:38:46Accept modern technology
00:38:48You seem like a
00:38:50Nice, normal guy
00:38:52You know, and I'm sure you meet women
00:38:54From all around the world with your job
00:38:55So
00:38:56Why are you single?
00:38:57Whoa, whoa, whoa
00:39:00Hold on, hold on
00:39:01Let me guess
00:39:01You're the picky type
00:39:03Hmm?
00:39:06I might be
00:39:07Just a little
00:39:07I knew it
00:39:08Well, and I have a rule
00:39:11Hmm
00:39:12Well, I keep my
00:39:14Relations with my guests
00:39:15Purely professional
00:39:16Even if I may be tempted
00:39:19To act otherwise
00:39:20That's a solid rule
00:39:27Yeah
00:39:27Hey
00:39:30You like this one?
00:39:31Yeah
00:39:32Look, I mean, it's like
00:39:34It's screaming you
00:39:36It's like if
00:39:36If you were a Christmas tree
00:39:38That's
00:39:39What you'd look like
00:39:41What do you think?
00:39:45Hmm?
00:39:46You know, the magic of a Christmas tree
00:39:47Star on top for all to see
00:39:49We all bring gifts on bended knee
00:39:53To remember the coming
00:39:56Of the newborn king
00:39:57That's nice of that Robert Frost
00:40:01Miss Sadler's eighth grade English class
00:40:04Trevor Crane
00:40:05Really?
00:40:06Really?
00:40:06You wrote that?
00:40:08Yeah
00:40:08Oh, that's great
00:40:10Look at you
00:40:11You're a poet
00:40:11Oh, I remember that
00:40:12I have no idea
00:40:13But, uh, you know what?
00:40:14I'm gonna keep my day job
00:40:15I'll leave the writing up to you, okay?
00:40:17Oh
00:40:17Hey, speaking of which
00:40:19You have a book to come up with, right?
00:40:21So, listen
00:40:22I can take you back
00:40:22Leave you alone for a while
00:40:23No, no, no, no
00:40:24No
00:40:24Um
00:40:25I
00:40:27I can do that
00:40:28Later
00:40:29Before you pick me up tonight
00:40:30But right now
00:40:34I think that, uh
00:40:35This is your guy
00:40:36Really?
00:40:38Yeah
00:40:38Oh, how do you know that's a guy?
00:40:40He's clearly a guy
00:40:41He's tall, handsome
00:40:43And I feel like he's gonna be kind of stubborn
00:40:45Okay, there it is
00:40:48Well
00:40:48We'll see
00:40:50Let's get you in the closet
00:40:56Let's get you warmed up
00:40:57We've got some complimentary hot chocolate
00:40:59Some really fun surprises
00:41:00I promise you the night of a late time
00:41:01There he is
00:41:02Hey, buddy
00:41:03All right
00:41:05So when I say I know a guy
00:41:06Noah
00:41:07This is a client of mine
00:41:09And friend Aaron Barnes
00:41:11Hi
00:41:11Nice to meet you
00:41:12Nice to meet you
00:41:12Are you enjoying your vacation?
00:41:14I am
00:41:14Yeah, I am
00:41:15Great
00:41:16Uh, I'll be right back
00:41:17Yeah
00:41:18Hey
00:41:19Hey
00:41:20Hey
00:41:20This could be you, buddy
00:41:23Job's yours if you want it
00:41:24Go get on your bus
00:41:25Oh, come
00:41:25All right
00:41:26Well, you have fun, okay?
00:41:27Yeah
00:41:27Good, I'll tell you about it
00:41:27I'm gonna drive
00:41:28Okay
00:41:28Okay, ready to go
00:41:43I'm, uh, I'm real sorry
00:41:46I'm not gonna see the lights tonight
00:41:51Well, I don't understand
00:41:54Where are all those people going?
00:41:57Uh, I don't know
00:41:59There's not a cloud in the sky
00:42:01Yeah
00:42:02Yeah, I know
00:42:05Well, let me guess
00:42:07You know something they don't
00:42:11Can't explain it
00:42:13Uh
00:42:15Okay, cool
00:42:17Can you try?
00:42:20Yeah
00:42:20Yeah, I can try
00:42:21Um, so
00:42:23If the northern lights are imminent, right?
00:42:26And there's, like, that atmospheric shift
00:42:28That's a change in pressure
00:42:29Then
00:42:29I guess I can't explain it
00:42:35Okay
00:42:37All I can say is
00:42:39I've been doing this a really long time
00:42:40And it's just something you feel in the air
00:42:42Okay
00:42:42It's not
00:42:43It's not physical
00:42:44It's like a gut feeling you get
00:42:45Okay
00:42:49Okay, uh, well, Trevor
00:42:52Um, my dad and I
00:42:54Been here, what?
00:42:55Three nights, right?
00:42:57We haven't seen the lights yet
00:42:58So, how about
00:43:00Just for, just for one night
00:43:01We just ignore your little gut feeling
00:43:03And we follow my Aurora Tracker app
00:43:06Which says, by the way
00:43:07There's a 28% chance that we'll see him tonight
00:43:10So
00:43:10Aaron, I get it, okay?
00:43:14It's a natural phenomenon
00:43:15You want to see it, right?
00:43:17Look, you want to catch it
00:43:18You'll do whatever it takes
00:43:19Trust me, that app
00:43:20It has an algorithm
00:43:21It takes its best guess
00:43:23But that's all it is
00:43:24It's a guess
00:43:24Okay?
00:43:26It doesn't have human intuition
00:43:27It doesn't
00:43:29Look, honestly
00:43:30I don't want to waste your time, okay?
00:43:31I don't want to drive you all the way out there
00:43:32And bring you all the way back
00:43:34Just for nothing
00:43:35There's no chance
00:43:39No
00:43:42Listen, how about I make it up to you tomorrow morning, okay?
00:43:46Take you out on a
00:43:47Just a special one-of-a-kind outing
00:43:49Okay?
00:43:51Yeah
00:43:52Okay
00:43:55Okay, you win
00:43:56I'm just trying to be a good guy
00:44:00Okay, thank you for trusting me
00:44:02Really
00:44:03Listen, why don't you two go inside and warm up, okay?
00:44:09Let's go
00:44:09Good night
00:44:10Good night
00:44:11Good night
00:44:12He actually thought I was going to jump in that lake
00:44:28I can't imagine you doing a polar bear swim
00:44:31Never
00:44:31But I'm glad you had a fun day
00:44:34I did
00:44:36I had a lot of fun, in fact
00:44:38Yeah
00:44:39Once again, I am so sorry, ladies and gentlemen
00:44:52Sometimes the weather just doesn't want to behave itself
00:44:56But we will prevail
00:44:57Tomorrow
00:44:58And hey, let's look at the bright side
00:45:04The hour each way on the bus
00:45:06Just gave me the opportunity to acquaint you all
00:45:08With my full range of spoken word Christmas carol repertoire
00:45:13Thanks again
00:45:16And, um, have a good night
00:45:18Dad, that could have been us
00:45:21You owe somebody an apology
00:45:23Thank you
00:45:30Hey, stranger
00:45:36Cyrus, you made it
00:45:38I told you I would
00:45:39What's that, Aaron?
00:45:44You weren't so tall the last time I saw you
00:45:46Cyrus, thank you, you're back
00:45:50I thought I'd borrow one of your clients for a bit
00:45:53Sorry to interrupt your tour
00:45:54No, no, no worries
00:45:56Uh, why don't I catch up with you two later?
00:46:01What do you think?
00:46:02Huh?
00:46:04Okay, sure, sure, Dad
00:46:06Yes, go, have fun
00:46:07Uh, I guess it's just the two of us
00:46:14I guess so
00:46:15Uh, hey, by the way
00:46:18I just want to apologize
00:46:20Because you had a natural instinct
00:46:23About the lights last night
00:46:24And I wanted to listen to some app
00:46:26And I was wrong
00:46:28So I'm sorry
00:46:28Thank you
00:46:31Appreciate that
00:46:32Well
00:46:46Well, here we are
00:46:48Yeah, this land belongs to my family
00:46:51In the spring, we make maple syrup over here
00:46:54And
00:46:56As you can see, these are all the bells that you were hearing
00:46:59Yeah, what are they for?
00:47:02Well
00:47:03Actually, generations ago
00:47:05We started this family tradition
00:47:07Where everybody comes out at Christmas
00:47:10And hangs up a bell
00:47:11We started with my great-grandma
00:47:14And, uh, I don't know
00:47:15Apparently her favorite carol was
00:47:17I Heard the Bells on Christmas Day
00:47:19I mean, if you've never heard the song before
00:47:22It's all about how peace prevails on earth
00:47:23And so
00:47:24I guess that was just
00:47:25Really inspirational for her
00:47:26And she came out here
00:47:28And started hanging out bells
00:47:29Just so that everyone could
00:47:30Hear the same message
00:47:32I love that
00:47:33Yeah, it wasn't long after that
00:47:35The whole family got on board
00:47:36Everyone was
00:47:38Coming out during the holidays
00:47:39To hang up a bell
00:47:40To represent themselves
00:47:41It's beautiful
00:47:44I mean, you have the most unique family tradition
00:47:49It's
00:47:50It's special
00:47:52Yeah, it is
00:47:56Hey
00:48:02You hungry?
00:48:05Yeah, I could eat
00:48:06Well, I packed the lunch
00:48:07You have food?
00:48:09Yeah
00:48:09I'm a guy
00:48:11Of course I have food
00:48:12Let's see
00:48:13What do we have here?
00:48:14Okay
00:48:14Bannock
00:48:15This is a traditional bread
00:48:17What goes nicely with that, you ask?
00:48:19Well, some wild berry jam
00:48:21That I made myself
00:48:21You made that?
00:48:23Yes, ma'am
00:48:23Now, I also have some caribou jerky
00:48:26And
00:48:26Last but not least
00:48:28Some northwest salmon
00:48:29That's really good
00:48:30Do you do this
00:48:32Do you do this for all your clients?
00:48:35Do what?
00:48:38This
00:48:38Everything
00:48:39The
00:48:40The reindeer
00:48:41The gourmet food
00:48:43The bells
00:48:43Not the bells
00:48:45Bells are just for you
00:48:47That is
00:49:01That is
00:49:05The most beautiful sound
00:49:06It's like they're in sync
00:49:09That's the mystery of it all, huh?
00:49:13I lost my parents when I was 15
00:49:17But
00:49:18And every time I come out here
00:49:20Since both of them hung a bell up at Christmas
00:49:23It's kind of like I get to spend a little time with them
00:49:28Yeah
00:49:31I guess you could say that stuff
00:49:35A gift from God
00:49:37Yeah
00:49:43We're close
00:49:52We're almost there
00:49:52Oh, oh
00:49:54Hold on, hold on
00:49:56Are you gonna show up for Christmas ornaments?
00:49:57I am
00:49:58Really?
00:49:59Oh
00:49:59For you
00:50:00What?
00:50:01Yeah
00:50:01Except you want to decorate your tree tonight
00:50:04So
00:50:04It's on me
00:50:05Okay
00:50:07You don't have to do that
00:50:07I know
00:50:09I don't have to
00:50:09But
00:50:10I want to
00:50:12Because
00:50:13You know what?
00:50:14You have
00:50:14Gone above and beyond
00:50:16And I haven't exactly been
00:50:17Gracious
00:50:19So
00:50:19Thank you
00:50:20You're welcome
00:50:22Oh, hold on
00:50:24Oh
00:50:25Here
00:50:25Can you hold those?
00:50:26Yeah
00:50:26Sorry
00:50:27Oh
00:50:28That's my dad
00:50:31Hey
00:50:33Are you at a party?
00:50:35No, not a party
00:50:36Just a little
00:50:38Spontaneous
00:50:39Mini reunion
00:50:40Okay
00:50:40Well, let me guess
00:50:41You're not going on the tour tonight
00:50:43I'm
00:50:44I'm sorry
00:50:45Some other old friends came by to see me and
00:50:48One of those friends happened to be Laura
00:50:51Yes
00:50:55She's here
00:50:56All right
00:50:58Well
00:50:58You have fun
00:51:00Thank you for understanding, sweetheart
00:51:02Oh, and Cyrus says he thinks the Northern Lights will be out in full force tonight
00:51:07So take some pictures for me, okay?
00:51:10Yeah, yeah, for sure, I will
00:51:11Okay
00:51:13Bye
00:51:14Oh, so your dad's out?
00:51:17He's out
00:51:18The power of romance overshadows the power of nature, huh?
00:51:22I guess so
00:51:23It's okay, though, because this whole trip is for him anyway, so
00:51:28It just makes it extra special
00:51:30Well, I'll have to make sure that your evening is extra special as well
00:51:33Well, I mean, you've been doing an adequate job
00:51:37Oh, okay
00:51:39Guess I'll have to step up my A-game then
00:51:40Guess you will
00:51:41No Northern Lights for you tonight?
00:51:46I am beginning to think this is the real reason I'm here
00:51:50Thank you for getting everyone together
00:51:54Who, me?
00:51:56I just told a few folks that I ran into you the Aurora gossip mill took care of the rest
00:52:01Oh
00:52:01Thank you anyway
00:52:03It's like holding a piece of ice
00:52:13I bet
00:52:14You almost done?
00:52:15Yeah, yeah, I think I got it
00:52:17Oh, thanks
00:52:23Here, you ready?
00:52:24Here
00:52:24All right, go
00:52:27Put it in
00:52:29Thank you
00:52:33You're welcome
00:52:35Okay, so, uh, what do we do now?
00:52:44Uh, now we wait
00:52:46Hey, I was wondering, um, are there any tickets left for the Borealis Ball?
00:53:01Oh, well, they are going fast
00:53:04But I think for a couple of special visiting guests, I could grab a pair
00:53:08Well, I can't speak for my daughter, but I would really like to come
00:53:14Wonderful
00:53:14You can be my date
00:53:16It would be my pleasure
00:53:18Oh
00:53:21Oh
00:53:25Oh
00:53:26You sure this is the right spot?
00:53:30I mean, we've been sitting here for over an hour
00:53:33Well, when you're trying to look at a natural phenomenon, I have found that you're always testing your patients
00:53:41Hmm
00:53:42Well, I don't know about that, because all these people on the tour have seen it
00:53:48Yeah, it's not bad
00:53:51Not bad?
00:53:52Yeah
00:53:52It's amazing
00:53:53Hey, you can't trust those guides, okay?
00:53:57Some of them are pretty tricky
00:53:58Those pictures are probably not even taken today
00:54:01In fact, I know they're not taken today
00:54:02Okay, but these are selfies
00:54:04Not from today
00:54:05I just don't think you'd like to admit you're wrong
00:54:10It's because I'm not wrong
00:54:12Hey
00:54:15I know I've lost some business to these big tour companies, okay?
00:54:19But I'm not going to stoop to that level
00:54:20I didn't say stoop to that level
00:54:25I just
00:54:25I just meant that maybe you could pick up a few tricks, you know?
00:54:31Play the game a little more
00:54:32Play the game?
00:54:37Yeah
00:54:37This isn't a game for me
00:54:38This is, I don't know, doing what I love
00:54:42Okay, and I understand that I have bills to pay
00:54:45All right, so on one hand, I got money
00:54:47And on the other hand, I got my heart
00:54:48And you know what?
00:54:51My heart's telling me that God doesn't want to just show you a picture on social media, okay?
00:54:55He wants to bring you out here, because he's going to show you something
00:54:57That he wants to paint for you
00:54:59In real life, in real time, right before your eyes
00:55:01There's no way I have to track that
00:55:05Look, I know that, okay?
00:55:13And I appreciate the way you think I do
00:55:15But
00:55:16I've actually been thinking about your situation
00:55:20A little bit
00:55:22Trevor
00:55:22You see the world
00:55:24It's your beautiful and unique way
00:55:28You really do
00:55:29And that's a gift
00:55:32I mean, if you combine
00:55:34The way you see everything
00:55:36With the knowledge
00:55:38And the insight that you have
00:55:39You could create an app for your business
00:55:41That would let people see this town
00:55:43Through your eyes
00:55:44Trevor, I'm just trying to help you
00:55:50You know, you're running a business
00:55:52You need to think like a businessman
00:55:55Like a businessman?
00:55:58Yeah
00:55:58Well, I don't think that works for me
00:56:01And if you're being honest
00:56:03I don't think it works for you either
00:56:04What are you talking about?
00:56:07Well, just think about it, right?
00:56:07I mean, maybe that's why you haven't gotten the idea for your next book yet
00:56:11Because you're too busy spending time trying to think of what's going to sell
00:56:14Instead of what really matters to you
00:56:16I mean, my roots are important to me
00:56:18It's who I am
00:56:19Can you say the same?
00:56:21My roots are important to me, yes
00:56:23Okay, well, then maybe you should just take a little more time to consider that
00:56:26Look into it
00:56:27Figure out what moves you inside
00:56:31Instead of spending so much time trying to, I don't know
00:56:34Get a picture of the Northern Lights to put online
00:56:36To show your friends or whatever
00:56:38Come on, that's not why I'm here
00:56:39I don't think you know why you're here
00:56:43You know, I just
00:56:52All of a sudden got really cold
00:56:55You know, I think I'm going to call it a night
00:57:00If you don't want
00:57:02You know, I think I'm going to call it a night
00:57:04You know, I think I'm going to call it a night
00:57:05You know, I think I'm going to call it a night
00:57:06You know, I think I'm going to call it a night
00:57:07You know, I think I'm going to call it a night
00:57:08You know, I think I'm going to call it a night
00:57:09You know, I think I'm going to call it a night
00:57:10You know, I think I'm going to call it a night
00:57:11You know, I think I'm going to call it a night
00:57:12You know, I think I'm going to call it a night
00:57:13You know, I think I'm going to call it a night
00:57:14You know, I think I'm going to call it a night
00:57:15You know, I think I'm going to call it a night
00:57:16You know, I think I'm going to call it a night
00:57:47I just feel bad about what happened.
00:57:56Well, I'm sure he feels worse.
00:58:00Hey, we've only got two more days left.
00:58:04Do you want to try and get on another tour?
00:58:06Hmm. I don't know.
00:58:09You don't.
00:58:12Well, there's just something that Trevor said that's just...
00:58:16I don't know what's sticking with me.
00:58:19You know, ever since I got here, all I've been focusing on is seeing the lights.
00:58:24And I've completely ignored my own connection to this place.
00:58:27I mean, Dad, you're from here.
00:58:29Yeah?
00:58:29I should have been focusing on my own family history instead of worrying about checking off some bucket list box.
00:58:37Oh, come on. Stop being hard on yourself.
00:58:40Yes, you did come to see the lights.
00:58:41But you're learning there's a lot more to this place now.
00:58:44It's all good.
00:58:46Believe me.
00:58:47Yeah.
00:58:53So, uh, do you sell the house?
00:58:58I haven't signed anything yet.
00:58:59I don't really know that I can.
00:59:07You know, when I was 18, I used to sit up and look out my bedroom window at the stars for hours.
00:59:15Wondering if they'd be as beautiful for my college dorm or if I should just stay here.
00:59:20Well, I decided to take a chance.
00:59:23If I ever really wanted to live a truly full life, I left my friends and my family.
00:59:31I just went away.
00:59:34Then you met Mom.
00:59:38Best thing that ever happened to me.
00:59:40I know.
00:59:44But ever since we've come here, this place has been calling me back.
00:59:49Does that make any sense?
00:59:54Yeah.
00:59:56Yeah, Dad, it does.
00:59:58I mean, these are your roots.
01:00:02Your people.
01:00:04Your people, too.
01:00:17Sweetheart, there's something I want to tell you.
01:00:18I have been thinking about staying here for a while.
01:00:27Really?
01:00:28Yeah.
01:00:30What do you think?
01:00:33Well, I think that whatever decision you choose to make is going to be the right one.
01:00:38I just want you happy.
01:00:42Me, too.
01:00:47Come on.
01:00:48What do you want to do with this day, huh?
01:00:49Uh, well, I was thinking, Dad, maybe I could go over to Grandma and Grandpa's house.
01:00:57That is a good idea.
01:00:58I'm going to go along, then.
01:00:59Well, if you don't mind, I'd like to go alone.
01:01:03Oh.
01:01:03Just to, I don't know, maybe sit there and maybe I'll find a little inspiration for my book.
01:01:10Look, it's a good idea.
01:01:14I say go for it.
01:01:16Okay.
01:01:17Okay.
01:01:17Oh, my God.
01:02:04Looks like Dad.
01:02:34I got a good feeling about tonight.
01:02:53It's going to happen for us.
01:02:54All right?
01:02:56Yeah.
01:02:56Go on in.
01:02:57Make yourself comfortable.
01:02:58What?
01:02:59Fingers crossed.
01:03:00Erin, right?
01:03:01Yeah.
01:03:02Hey.
01:03:03Hi.
01:03:04Okay, I got to ask.
01:03:06You seen the lights yet?
01:03:08Uh, no.
01:03:11See, Trevor mentioned that.
01:03:13So, we've had some spots open up.
01:03:16You want to see them tonight?
01:03:17All right.
01:03:19Uh...
01:03:20Boy, you got to lose.
01:03:24We are leaving right now.
01:03:28Yeah.
01:03:28Yeah.
01:03:29Good.

01:03:30All right.

01:04:08I've arranged a little stop so you can get some Aurora souvenirs before we hit the road.

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