00:00:00I'm Mr. B!
00:00:02I wish you could be.
00:00:04But we just have to make the best of it.
00:00:06I'm late.
00:00:08Come on, we need to get dressed.
00:00:10We really need to go. My boss has already annoyed at me.
00:00:12Fine!
00:00:14Come on.
00:00:16We've already been through this.
00:00:18We can't go through it every day, okay?
00:00:28Morning, Jack.
00:00:30Third day in a row, huh?
00:00:32No, no, no.
00:00:34I just...
00:00:36I don't know what to do.
00:00:38I can't just leave her at home on her own.
00:00:40I need to finish this project.
00:00:42Look, maybe what Harper needs is a nanny.
00:00:46Looking after her. Harper and your PA.
00:00:48You're right.
00:00:50Look into it today.
00:00:52I need to get to work. See you, Harper.
00:00:54I'll see what I can do.
00:00:56Don't worry, we'll figure it out.
00:01:06It's a miracle.
00:01:10Do you think we're going to have so many people apply?
00:01:12It's such short notice.
00:01:14Especially over Christmas holidays.
00:01:20We're going to find you and Annie Harper.
00:01:22Okay?
00:01:24Someone that can look after you properly.
00:01:26While your dad's at work.
00:01:28Since you don't have to hang around the office all the time.
00:01:30Does that sound good?
00:01:34I guess. It's fine.
00:01:36You're going to have to help me, though.
00:01:38Pick somebody.
00:01:40Because it's important that you like those.
00:01:42You know?
00:01:43Could be spending a lot of time.
00:01:44Okay.
00:01:45Right.
00:01:46You ready?
00:01:49Come in.
00:01:55I just love children.
00:01:56I have ten siblings.
00:01:58We all live in the same house.
00:02:00And it gets a bit messy sometimes.
00:02:01But that's the fun of it.
00:02:03So, like, is there Wi-Fi?
00:02:14Because that's a deal breaker for me.
00:02:21What children need is discipline.
00:02:24Especially during the holiday season.
00:02:27No sweets and no television.
00:02:30I will conduct etiquette lessons with the girl.
00:02:34To ensure proper manners.
00:02:41Children are such a divine blessing.
00:02:43I will teach her interpretive dance.
00:02:45And how to connect to Mother Earth.
00:02:50Do you like avocado?
00:02:53Now, don't you worry.
00:02:55I'll have her up five o'clock every morning.
00:02:58And go for a run.
00:02:59And we'll have some stretches.
00:03:01I'll have a prime ready for school.
00:03:03She likes sports, right?
00:03:16Well, I'm really sorry, Alva.
00:03:17But I don't think we've found the right person, have we?
00:03:22It's okay, Maureen.
00:03:23Thanks for trying anyway.
00:03:24I'd like to go find my dad.
00:03:26I want to go home now.
00:03:27I'm sorry.
00:03:29Hi.
00:03:30Hello.
00:03:31Hi.
00:03:32I'm here for an interview for the nanny position.
00:03:34Oh.
00:03:35Hello.
00:03:50Hi.
00:03:51I'm here for an interview
00:03:53for the nanny position.
00:03:55Oh.
00:03:57Am I too late?
00:03:59No, no, no. Please sit down.
00:04:05Uh, who?
00:04:12Um, Mary?
00:04:14That's me.
00:04:15Oh, it says you're from New York.
00:04:18Yes, but I've been in England
00:04:20for about six months now,
00:04:21doing some odd jobs and babysitting.
00:04:24Great.
00:04:25Um, you don't plan to go back there
00:04:27for Christmas holidays?
00:04:28No, no.
00:04:29My mom actually passed this year
00:04:32and I just thought
00:04:34Christmas in New York
00:04:35wouldn't be the same without her.
00:04:38You understand.
00:04:39I'm sorry for your loss.
00:04:43Um, so you've been a nanny before?
00:04:47Oh, yes.
00:04:47Um, I've never been a live-in one
00:04:49like this job,
00:04:50but I've been looking after
00:04:51people's children for a while now
00:04:53and I just love it.
00:04:54this felt like the next
00:04:56perfect step for me.
00:04:58Great.
00:05:00Um, and what about
00:05:01some of the other,
00:05:03you know, activities

00:05:06running errands with family,

00:05:13to be at Christmas,

00:05:16I'm really looking forward
00:05:17to being part of

00:16:09night
00:16:30Uh, Mary?
00:16:38Mary?
00:16:40Jack, I just, sorry, scared me, I, um, how, how long have you been, just out there?
00:16:50Ah, long enough.
00:16:53So, uh, how was your first date?
00:16:56Was Harper all right?
00:16:58She was great.
00:16:59Um, we, we actually went out for a bit, and we got a treat.
00:17:03A treat?
00:17:04Yeah, a Christmas tree.
00:17:07Oh.
00:17:08Harper just seemed, I don't know, a bit down in the dumps today.
00:17:11Uh, I thought maybe getting a Christmas tree would cheer her up a bit.
00:17:15It seemed to work.
00:17:17She picked it out herself.
00:17:19I wouldn't, I wouldn't.
00:17:22What?
00:17:23Oh, no, nothing, I just, I hadn't thought to make the house Christmassy for her.
00:17:27Uh, we don't usually spend this time of the year together.
00:17:32Yeah, yeah, she mentioned, uh, she usually goes to California, sees her mom.
00:17:36Yes, that's the agreement we have.
00:17:39No, mom and me, I mean.
00:17:41Do you mind me asking, what changed this year?
00:17:47Well, um, Harper's mom remarried in the summer.
00:17:54Harper went to the wedding, of course.
00:17:57But she found it difficult.
00:17:59She struggled, you know, with her parents not being together anymore.
00:18:06And Harper's mom and her new partner wanted to spend this Christmas with his family.
00:18:11But they thought it would be a bit difficult for Harper.
00:18:15So it was agreed that she wouldn't go to California this year.
00:18:20I see.
00:18:20Yes, it's not what Harper wanted, but it's what the adults agreed was for the best.
00:18:30Including you?
00:18:32Well, at the time, but now I'm not so sure.
00:18:36I've hardly been here, which is why I needed some help.
00:18:39Your help, in fact.
00:18:41Well, I'm happy to be here.
00:18:44And, uh, thank you for giving me the job.
00:18:46Well, that's so Maureen, but, well, I do value her, Jack.
00:18:50Well.
00:18:51I'm glad that you do.
00:18:53Uh, is there anything else that you need?
00:18:55No, no, um, thank you, though, Mary.
00:18:58I really appreciate it.
00:18:59No worries.
00:19:00Um, I'm gonna head up.
00:19:02Sure, of course.
00:19:03Don't let me keep you, although it's late.
00:19:05Okay.

00:28:23Great.
00:28:27High five.
00:28:28What do you think?
00:28:34I love it.
00:28:35It feels so much more like Christmas.
00:28:38I think you've done an excellent job.
00:28:42It's just one thing missing.
00:28:46Do you want to do the honors?
00:28:57Perfect.
00:28:58Almost perfect.
00:29:03What's missing?
00:29:05It's nothing in here.
00:29:06It's just...
00:29:07I wish it wasn't so cold.
00:29:10It's always so warm and sunny in California.
00:29:14Sometimes on Christmas Day, me and Mom would go to the beach.
00:29:18Can't do that here.
00:29:21No.
00:29:22Mom, I think a warm Christmas would be really weird.
00:29:27Why?
00:29:30Well, in New York, it's always freezing at Christmas time.
00:29:34That's part of the fun, you know?
00:29:36Wrapping up warm, building snowmen, going ice skating, snowball fights.
00:29:42You've seen snow?
00:29:43Oh yeah, loads of it.
00:29:45You know, it's always so magical when it falls.
00:29:49Everything gets really quiet and peaceful and everywhere you look, it's covered in a thick blanket of white.
00:29:56I've never seen it.
00:29:58Well, maybe you will one day.
00:30:02But you have to be somewhere cold to see snow.
00:30:05It's not going to happen in California.
00:30:07I guess it isn't too bad for it to be cold.
00:30:11Maybe not.
00:30:13Do you think it will ever snow in?
00:30:14Maybe.
00:30:17We'll see.
00:30:19You just got to keep your eye out for big, fluffy clouds.
00:30:26Big, fluffy clouds.
00:30:30I'm going to go make dinner.
00:30:32I'll be in the kitchen if you need me.
00:30:34OK.
00:30:49Hello?
00:30:50Dad!
00:30:51Ah, hey, I'll be...
00:30:53You're back in time for dinner?
00:30:55Yes, I, um, I managed to get out a bit earlier than normal today.
00:31:00What's been going on here?
00:31:02We decorate it.
00:31:03Do you like my tree?
00:31:05Mary let me put Santa on top.
00:31:08Now all we need is some presents for underneath.
00:31:11You and Mary did all of this today?
00:31:14Yeah, do you like it?
00:31:16Well, I think it's wonderful.
00:31:17How about you?
00:31:18Do you like it?
00:31:19I love it.
00:31:21I'm so happy we found Mary, Dad.
00:31:23She's great.
00:31:25I'm so glad you two are getting on so well.
00:31:28Shall we go find her?
00:31:29Yeah, I think she's in the kitchen.
00:31:31Go on, then.
00:31:34It's nice to have Dad back the dinner, isn't it?
00:31:45Well, the house is looking very festive.
00:31:48Oh, yeah?
00:31:50You think?
00:31:51Yeah.
00:31:51I see you managed to get those decorations we discussed.
00:31:55Although, it looks like there might have been a few more purchases by the looks of the place.
00:32:00You may have gone a bit overboard.
00:32:05It was me, Dad.
00:32:06I wanted Mary to feel at home.
00:32:10I think that's wonderful.
00:32:11How much did you spend?
00:32:15We didn't go crazy.
00:32:17You shouldn't have given us your credit card, Dad.
00:32:22We wanted everything to be perfect, since it's Mary's first time not being in New York this Christmas.
00:32:29Unlike it's my first time not being in California.
00:32:33New York?
00:32:34That's where she's from.
00:32:41What else did you learn about Mary today, Hopper?
00:32:45Well, she told me about snow.
00:32:48Didn't she now?
00:32:49What did she say about it?
00:32:50She said in New York it's always snowing at Christmas time.
00:32:54And people would have snowball fights.
00:32:59And it's always so magical.
00:33:04And everything's covered in white.
00:33:08Well, sounds like Mary knows how to paint quite the texture.
00:33:13What can I say?
00:33:15It's true.
00:33:16In New York, snow is something else.
00:33:22Will there ever snow here, Dad?
00:33:24Uh, yes, yeah, it has sometimes, in fact.
00:33:28I remember at the time...
00:33:30Sorry, excuse me.
00:33:34Uh, yeah, that's my boss.
00:33:38I'd better take it.
00:33:40Hello?
00:33:41No, I'm not busy.
00:33:45Do you want to wait for your dad to get back to eat?
00:33:48No, it might take a while.
00:33:50There's something wrong.
00:33:54Well, at least something's not happening.
00:33:56Why hasn't this gone over the line, Jared?
00:33:58And on the other day?
00:33:59I'm working on it.
00:34:00We're waiting for an update from the design team,
00:34:02and then we'll be ready to show the final ad to the client.
00:34:05I think they're really going to like it.
00:34:09Oh, God.
00:34:12What about you?
00:34:14No.
00:34:15They're going to like it isn't good enough, Jared.
00:34:21Oh, God.
00:34:22Oh, God.
00:34:23So, what are you?
00:34:26Jack, do you hear already?
00:34:27Uh, yeah, I hear you.
00:34:28Good.
00:34:31I don't want this falling through.
00:34:33It won't.
00:34:35I'll update the project folder and action log tonight,
00:34:38and then I'll send a chaser to the design team tomorrow.
00:34:39I'm sorry that your dad didn't come and say goodnight to you.
00:35:00Seems he's trapped himself in his office.
00:35:02Some kind of work emergency.
00:35:03It's not your fault.
00:35:06Dad's boss is always saying there's an emergency.
00:35:09I don't get why Dad believes him.
00:35:12Well, sometimes when it's your boss, it's hard to say no.
00:35:17I guess.
00:35:18But at least you can say goodnight to me.
00:35:21It's nice to have someone, even if Dad can't.
00:35:25What did you do before I got here?
00:35:29Came to bed myself.
00:35:31Stayed up really late.
00:35:32And watch TV.
00:35:34It was fun and all, but then Dad got boss.
00:35:38Mm-hmm.
00:35:39Yeah, it's probably best not to stay up too late, huh?
00:35:42I bet you were really grumpy in the morning, weren't you?
00:35:47A bit.
00:35:48I thought so.
00:35:51Hey, look.
00:35:53I'm gonna talk to your dad tomorrow, okay?
00:35:55I'm gonna make sure he comes and says goodnight to you.
00:35:58Even if he is busy in his office, it's important.
00:36:01Okay.
00:36:02And tomorrow, I was thinking, maybe we could make a gingerbread house.
00:36:10Yes!
00:36:10I've never made one before.
00:36:12What?
00:36:13Never?
00:36:14Oh, well, we are gonna have loads of fun.
00:36:16But for now, it's time to sleep.
00:36:21How about you close your eyes and think of all the ways you want to decorate your first gingerbread house.
00:36:27Okay.
00:36:29Good night.
00:36:30Good night.
00:36:31Good night, Harper.
00:36:31Good night, Harper.
00:36:35Morning, Mary.
00:37:01Morning, Jack.
00:37:02Have coffee?
00:37:03Oh, thanks, but I think I ought to, um...
00:37:06I'd put it in a to-go cup-free.
00:37:08Oh, well, in that case, thanks.
00:37:12I don't suppose you've seen my, um...
00:37:15Brief kiss?
00:37:17It's in the study. I'd put it next to your coat.
00:37:20Oh, lifesaver.
00:37:22I'm happy to help.
00:37:24No, um, no Harper this morning?
00:37:26She's just upstairs getting ready for today's adventures.
00:37:30Well, I'd best be off.
00:37:31Actually, um, I wanted to talk to you about something.
00:37:35You know, if you have a sec.
00:37:38Well, really, it was two things.
00:37:40At first, I really hope you don't mind,
00:37:43but I was going to ask somebody to come and take a look at that leaky tap
00:37:46and maybe put up the shelf in Harper's room.
00:37:49Yes, I haven't got around to those.
00:37:51Uh, sure, if you can find someone this close to Christmas,
00:37:55it'd be good to get those sorted.
00:37:57Great.
00:38:01Oh, um, and the other thing?
00:38:04Yes, I, um...
00:38:06Well, I was just going to ask you if you would be back for dinner tonight.
00:38:09Uh, well, look, I'll, I'll do my best,
00:38:14but I don't like to promise, just in case.
00:38:17Yeah, I get that.
00:38:19Um, it's just, well, I, I thought you should know, uh,
00:38:24Harper would really appreciate it if you could make some time
00:38:27just to say goodnight to her, even if it's only five minutes.
00:38:30Did she say something?
00:38:32No, no, I just, I know it would mean a lot to her,
00:38:36especially, you know, this time of year.
00:38:39Yeah, you're right.
00:38:42Look, I'll be back in time to say goodnight,
00:38:44even if I can't make dinner,
00:38:46but I'll, I'll let you know either way.
00:38:48Sound good?
00:38:49Sounds perfect.
00:38:50Great.
00:38:51Have a good day, Jack.
00:38:53You too, Merrick.
00:39:01What's that?
00:39:16That will be Ben.
00:39:18I, uh, asked him to come over and fix a few things around the house.
00:39:21Nice.
00:39:30Hey, Harper.
00:39:31How are you?
00:39:32Good.
00:39:33Loving the decorations.
00:39:35That is all Harper's shop, I've heard to sign.
00:39:38Ah, I knew it.
00:39:39But there's one thing missing, Harper.
00:39:43What is it?
00:39:45This.
00:39:46What's that?
00:39:48Mistletoe.
00:39:49You want me to put it up for you?
00:39:51Isn't that the stuff you kiss under?
00:39:54No, thanks.
00:39:56You hurt her.
00:39:58All right, fine.
00:39:59I'll get rid of it.
00:40:00Under one condition.
00:40:02Oh, yeah?
00:40:03And what's that?
00:40:04You give me a kiss.
00:40:09Mary, don't do it.
00:40:10All right, the deal's done.
00:40:19I'll get rid of this outside.
00:40:25Mary?
00:40:26Yes.
00:40:27Are you and Ben, you know?
00:40:31What?
00:40:34Boyfriend-girlfriend.
00:40:36No, we're not boyfriend-girlfriend.
00:40:40Do you wish you were?
00:40:41Ben was the very first friend that I made when I came to England.
00:40:48So we're very close.
00:40:50But we're just friends.
00:40:51Nothing else.
00:40:53Best of friends.
00:40:54That's us.
00:40:55Partners in crime.
00:40:57Ever since I helped this poor, lost American on the busy streets of London.
00:41:02What are you guys making here?
00:41:04Gingerbread house.
00:41:05We're making it super fancy.
00:41:08Very impressive.
00:41:10So, you got a hot tub at the back.
00:41:12Marshmallow pillowcases for all the chocolate bits.
00:41:16Great idea.
00:41:18And what about a gingerbread mailbox for the gingerbread mailman?
00:41:21Of course.
00:41:22Got to keep up with the gingerbread bills and the gingerbread Christmas cards.
00:41:26Shouldn't you be fixing the actual leaky tap instead of the gingerbread one?
00:41:31Oh, yeah.
00:41:32I'll get right on that.
00:41:34Uh, where's the bathroom?
00:41:36Uh, upstairs.
00:41:37Second on the right.
00:41:39You got it, boss.
00:41:40So, I have fixed the sink, put the shelf up in Harper's room, and that squeaky cupboard is squeaky no more.
00:41:59Amazing.
00:41:59Thank you, Ben.
00:42:00No problem.
00:42:01Any other bits you need help with?
00:42:03No.
00:42:04No, I think that's everything for now.
00:42:06Cool.
00:42:06Uh, where did Harper get to?
00:42:07Oh, she is getting changed.
00:42:09I'm not sure if there was more frosting on her or the gingerbread house by the time we were done.
00:42:15Ah.
00:42:16I blame you for that, by the way.
00:42:18Gingerbread helicopter pad?
00:42:20Really?
00:42:21I can't help it that my imagination is so brilliant.
00:42:24Okay, I'll remember that.
00:42:26Do.
00:42:27Oh, and if you ever need a song and a dance to liven the party, I'm your guy.
00:42:32Yeah, I'm sure you are.
00:42:34So, no mistletoe.
00:42:37But I managed to sneak a kiss anyway.
00:42:39Oh.
00:42:39You're incorrigible, Ben.
00:42:41Guilty as charged.
00:42:42But hey, somebody's got to keep the Christmas spirit alive.
00:42:45Come on, come on.
00:42:52Thanks for having me, Harper.
00:42:53You have a lovely home.
00:42:55Thanks for my new shelf.
00:42:57Oh, I'm glad you like him.
00:42:58Do you know what you're going to put on it yet?
00:43:00I don't know yet.
00:43:01Maybe some photographs?
00:43:02Maybe some photographs?
00:43:03You wait till Christmas.
00:43:05I'm sure you'll have some cards to put on it as well.
00:43:07Do you think so?
00:43:08Absolutely.
00:43:10Anyways, I better go.
00:43:11I've still got a few bits of last-minute Christmas shopping to get.
00:43:14Thanks for coming, Ben.
00:43:16You're welcome.
00:43:18Merry Christmas.
00:43:20See you around, Harper.
00:43:22See ya.
00:43:23I like Ben.
00:43:26He's funny.
00:43:27He is, isn't he?
00:43:29Can he come over again?
00:43:31Hmm, we'll see.
00:43:33Come on, let's go make some dinner.
00:43:35Hey, you can get out early today.
00:43:54Would you like to?
00:43:55Especially after our conversation this morning, but sadly not.
00:44:01Don't worry about it.
00:44:02Harper will just be glad to see you.
00:44:03Your dinner's in the microwave.
00:44:06You're hungry.
00:44:07Thanks.
00:44:12Oh, what's this?
00:44:16It's a gingerbread house.
00:44:18Oh, and you're not allowed to eat it on pain of death.
00:44:22Harper's words.
00:44:24Understood.
00:44:26Any plans for tomorrow?
00:44:27Yes, we are making Christmas cookies at some point.
00:44:30Gosh, you've really got a name to the Christmas spirit, haven't you?
00:44:36I'm pretty sure all I did was let it out.
00:44:42Right.
00:44:43You know, Harper's been a joy, all this decorating and baking.
00:45:03Well, it's all thanks to you.
00:45:06Since you arrived, she's really opened up.
00:45:11Well, it must be hard for her being somewhere different at Christmas.
00:45:16Especially at that age.
00:45:18Yeah.
00:45:19You know, I was worried that I wouldn't be able to give her a good Christmas.
00:45:28I'm not used to all this.
00:45:32I haven't decorated the house in years.
00:45:36Not since...
00:45:37Well, I'm just...
00:45:40I'm usually on my own at this time of year.
00:45:44I'm sorry.
00:45:45That sounds tough.
00:45:47No, no, it's fine.
00:45:50No, no, no one should be alone at Christmas.
00:45:56For this year, you don't have to be, okay?
00:45:59I will take care of all the logistics, and you just enjoy being with Harper.
00:46:04You're right.
00:46:07If my boss would stop hounding me about this project.
00:46:11You know, Harper understands.
00:46:13She gets that parents get busy, and she's a smart kid.
00:46:19I guess just when you are here, that's when you've got to make it count with her.
00:46:27Oh.
00:46:29Oh!
00:46:29What's going on?
00:46:40Oh, I'm nothing.
00:46:43Your dad was just being clumsy.
00:46:46Really?
00:46:47Clumsy?
00:46:48Never.
00:46:49What are you talking about, Dad?
00:46:51You're always...
00:46:52Well, thanks for the vote of confidence.
00:46:57What's up?
00:46:58I heard you and Mary talking, so I knew you were home, and I thought...
00:47:03Can you read with me?
00:47:04Oh, yes, of course.
00:47:07Why don't you run upstairs, and I will follow you up.
00:47:10Okay.
00:47:11Yeah.
00:47:11I can do this.
00:47:17You sure?
00:47:19Yeah, yeah.
00:47:20You go be with her.
00:47:23Thanks, Mary.
00:47:27Oh, God.
00:47:28Oh, my God.
00:47:29Yes.
00:47:29Oh, God.
00:47:55Hey, you're still up?
00:48:20Yeah, just, um, winding down.
00:48:23How is she?
00:48:25She fell asleep whilst we were reading.
00:48:28I think it's been another big day for her.
00:48:31She's getting very excited for Christmas.
00:48:34Well, I hope it lives up to her expectations.
00:48:37With you organising it, I don't doubt that it will.
00:48:44What about you? Long day?
00:48:47You could say that.
00:48:50But seeing Harper helps.
00:48:52And you, of course.
00:48:57Well, flattery will, uh, take you to a lot of places.
00:49:02That's good to know.
00:49:04I don't know what I'd...
00:49:14We'd do without you, Mary.
00:49:18You've been such a lifesaver.
00:49:21Doesn't hurt that you can cook, too.
00:49:22Well, thank you.
00:49:27I'm just, uh, I'm just happy to be here.
00:49:30So, what's the book about, then?
00:49:36Oh, it's a romance novel, so lots of cheesy lines and dramatic gestures.
00:49:44I'm not sure it would be your kind of thing.
00:49:46Oh, I don't know.
00:49:48I'm partial to the occasional sweeping romantic gesture.
00:49:51And I am the king of cheese, Stas Harper.
00:49:55Well, I stand corrected.
00:49:58This ought to be either just being frazzled or alcoholic to have...
00:50:03At least it used to be.
00:50:08There still is.
00:50:09I can see it.
00:50:18I should, um, leave you to relax there.
00:50:21I mean, I've got to get to bed anyway.
00:50:24Lots to do for me and Harvard.
00:50:25Well, yeah, sure.
00:50:31Good night, Jack.
00:50:33Good night, Mary.
00:50:35Sleep well.
00:50:39Hi, Bear.
00:51:02Coming.
00:51:04I got my notebook.
00:51:05It's got everything we need written down.
00:51:08Yeah?
00:51:09You got it all written down?
00:51:10Icing sugar, caster sugar, flour, cinnamon, eggs, milk, and sprinkles for the top.
00:51:17Yeah, good job.
00:51:18And, uh, we'll get some dinner stuff whilst we're out to you.
00:51:21Right, now it's time to get your shoes on.
00:51:22It's time to go.
00:51:24And, uh, here.
00:51:27I don't want to wear it.
00:51:29Come on, Harper.
00:51:29You've got to wear your hat.
00:51:30It's super cold outside.
00:51:32Put your hat on, please.
00:51:33Fine.
00:51:35All right.
00:51:37Now, come on.
00:51:38Time to lose.
00:51:39Let's get those coats on.
00:51:45That's great, Harper.
00:51:47You're going to add some sprinkles to that one?
00:51:49Yeah?
00:51:49Mm, I think a little more.
00:51:51Yeah.
00:51:55Oh, look who decided to join us.
00:51:58Okay, you two.
00:51:58Oh, what's this, then?
00:52:02We made cookies.
00:52:04We're going to give them to the neighbours and put them in little bags as Christmas gifts.
00:52:08Oh, that sounds wonderful.
00:52:09You two have been busy.
00:52:13I, um, I think you might need this.
00:52:17Oh, thanks.
00:52:19Did I miss dinner?
00:52:25No, no.
00:52:25I got your text about finishing work early, and, uh, we decided to wait for you to get
00:52:30back to eat.
00:52:31Harper, do you want to go set the table for three places?
00:52:43This is delicious, Mary.
00:52:44You've really outdone yourself.
00:52:46Oh, you're best in my lap.
00:52:49Well, thank you both.
00:52:51And if anyone has any requests for future meals, you just let me know, and I'll see what
00:52:56I can do.
00:52:57How's your Christmas dinner game?
00:52:59I have been told by many people that I make an excellent roast.
00:53:04Oh, I'll hold you to that.
00:53:05How do you do with potatoes?
00:53:07Some mashed and some roasted.
00:53:09You've got to have both.
00:53:10Oh, and with lashings of gravy.
00:53:13Very nice.
00:53:14How do you feel about sprouts?
00:53:15I have loved them.
00:53:18Especially with chestnut.
00:53:20Oh, good idea.
00:53:23So, I have some news.
00:53:27Tomorrow is Christmas Eve, which would normally mean cramming in the last bits of work before
00:53:32the bank holidays.
00:53:34But this year, I've said no.
00:53:37I'm not doing it.
00:53:38I'm taking the whole day off.
00:53:40Really?
00:53:41Really, really.
00:53:42We're going to spend the whole day together.
00:53:44In fact, I'm going to turn my work phone off to prove it.
00:53:50Oh, there we go.
00:53:56That's wonderful, Jack.
00:53:58Harper's been really looking forward to spending more time with you.
00:54:02Having you.
00:54:02Yeah, it's going to be the best day ever.
00:54:05Apart from actual Christmas Day, because that's going to be the real best day ever.
00:54:12Well, here's to the second best day ever.
00:54:16You know, she's so thrilled that you've taken the day off tomorrow.
00:54:28Ah, I should say no to my boss more often, even if it does annoy him.
00:54:34Seeing Harper's face light up like that makes it all worth it.
00:54:41You're a great dad.
00:54:43You know that?
00:54:46Well, I do my best.
00:54:48Having you around makes it a lot easier.
00:54:52Well, I'm just doing my job.
00:54:55Oh, it's more than that.
00:54:58We're so lucky to have you.
00:55:19Maybe you should...
00:55:21Yes, yeah, Harper.
00:55:25Um, she won't let the...
00:55:28She told you to go...
00:55:29Right, yeah, of course.
00:55:33Yeah.
00:55:34All good?
00:55:50She's asleep.
00:55:51Good.
00:55:53That's, um...
00:55:54It's good.
00:55:55Mary, I...
00:56:04What?
00:56:06Do you hear that?
00:56:09Yeah.
00:56:12Sounds like singing.
00:56:13Well, come on.
00:56:20Well...
00:56:22Good.
00:56:23Good.
00:56:23Old year passes.
00:56:24Ba-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la.
00:56:28Hail the new ye lads and lasses.
00:56:31Ba-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la.
00:56:34Sing we joyous all together.
00:56:38Ba-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la.
00:56:41Heedless of the wind and weather.
00:56:44Ba-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la.
00:56:47Sing we joyous all together.
00:56:50Ba-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la.
00:56:54Heedless of the wind and weather.
00:56:57Ba-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la.
00:57:01Oh, that was beautiful.
00:57:05Yeah, you sounded amazing.
00:57:07Thank you very much.
00:57:08Merry Christmas to you and yours.
00:57:11Merry Christmas.
00:57:12Oh, um, just wait there.
00:57:14One second.
00:57:21Surprise.
00:57:26We made Christmas cookies.
00:57:28Here, please take them.
00:57:32That's so lovely.
00:57:33And Merry Christmas, guys.
00:57:35Very fine.
00:57:36Take care.
00:57:37Bye.
00:57:38Bye, guys.
00:57:46What a nice surprise.
00:57:48Yeah, it was, wasn't it?
00:57:52Oh, I just wish Barbara had been here.
00:57:56She'd have loved to hear the carols.
00:57:59Maybe we could take her to see some tomorrow.
00:58:02There's always a big gathering of them in the town square on Christmas Eve.
00:58:05Well, that's a great idea.
00:58:07She'd love that.
00:58:07The only thing is...
00:58:11What?
00:58:14I still haven't got Harper's Christmas present.
00:58:17What?
00:58:19Jack, it's Christmas Eve.
00:58:20Oh, I know, I know.
00:58:22I just didn't get round to it.
00:58:24The day has run away from me.
00:58:26I'm not sure what to do.
00:58:27Okay, don't panic.
00:58:28Okay.
00:58:29Don't panic.
00:58:30I've got it.
00:58:31You spend the day with Harper tomorrow.
00:58:34You take her to the gathering, and I will get her present for you.
00:58:38Then you'll miss out.
00:58:40Oh, it's fine.
00:58:42I'll meet you after.
00:58:44And, uh, you can just tell her that I am picking up some extra bits for Christmas dinner.
00:58:50It's not a lie.
00:58:51I actually have to do that anyway.
00:58:54You sure?
00:58:55I am.
00:58:56Okay.
00:58:59Okay.
00:59:00Settled, then.
00:59:01Tomorrow will be the perfect day.
00:59:02Now, do you know what you want to get her?
00:59:07Yes.
00:59:08It's on my laptop in the kitchen.
00:59:10I'll show you.
00:59:10I'll show you.
00:59:40Good morning, Matt.
00:59:53Dad, you're not married.
00:59:55No, I'm not.
00:59:58But you're cooking breakfast.
01:00:00Well, just because I don't cook all the time doesn't mean that I can't do it.
01:00:06You're here.
01:00:08Where's Mary?
01:00:09She went out to get a few last-minute bits for our Christmas dinner tomorrow.
01:00:14Oh, why?
01:00:15Well, because you and I are going to spend the day together, aren't we?
01:00:17I thought that might include going out, perhaps, to the park.
01:00:21Unless there's something else you want to do.
01:00:23Can we get hot chocolates?
01:00:27Absolutely.
01:00:28Um, then I know the right place to go.
01:00:32I'll go and get dressed.
01:00:34Harper!
01:00:36Let's have breakfast first, and then we'll both get ready, okay?
01:00:39Fine.
01:00:39What's the breakfast?
01:00:40Well, it's eggs and bacon.
01:00:48You see, you have to eat the marshmallows before you drink it.
01:00:54Otherwise, they'll melt into the drink, and it'll get all sticky.
01:00:57Is that so?
01:01:00Yep.
01:01:01Did you learn that from Mary?
01:01:04Mmm, I already knew it.
01:01:06Mary reminded me last time I went out, though.
01:01:08You like having Mary at school around me, don't you?
01:01:13Yeah, she's great.
01:01:15And you've enjoyed all the things you've been doing?
01:01:18All the plans for Christmas?
01:01:19It's a bit different to what me and Mum would have, but...
01:01:23I like it.
01:01:24It feels warm.
01:01:26Inside, not outside.
01:01:28I know what you mean.
01:01:32I also like it when we can do fun stuff together.
01:01:35I don't know, Harper.
01:01:39And I'm sorry I haven't been around much.
01:01:42It's okay.
01:01:43I get it.
01:01:44You have to work.
01:01:46I just miss you, Daddy.
01:01:50I miss you too, sweetheart.
01:01:54I promise that I'm going to make myself more available.
01:01:59You mean the world to me.
01:02:02Does that mean we can have more adventures?
01:02:03We'll just hang out like we did today.
01:02:07That's what I'm thinking.
01:02:10Starting today, I'm going to make more time for us.
01:02:14We can go on adventures, have movie nights,
01:02:17or just hang out on the swings.
01:02:19Whatever you want.
01:02:20I love you, Dad.
01:02:24I love you, too.
01:02:24Who's that?
01:02:45Mary and Ben.
01:02:48Mary and Ben.
01:02:50Yeah.
01:02:52Ben.
01:02:53He put up my shelf for me in my bedroom.
01:02:56Look.
01:02:57Who's Ben?
01:02:59Ben.
01:03:01Mary's Ben.
01:03:01He helped us pick our tree.
01:03:05Mary's Ben.
01:03:06I see.
01:03:19Hey.
01:03:20Hello.
01:03:21Did you have a good day with your dad?
01:03:23Yeah, it was fun.
01:03:24Where have you been?
01:03:25I had a bit of last-minute shopping to do.
01:03:28And I've roped Ben here into helping me carry my bags.
01:03:32Yeah, and what have you got in here, Mary?
01:03:34Bricks.
01:03:36Oh, Jack, this is Ben.
01:03:38Ah, yeah.
01:03:39Jack.
01:03:40Hi.
01:03:41Good to meet you, Jack.
01:03:42Mary tells me a lot about you.
01:03:43Did she?
01:03:46All good stuff.
01:03:47I promise.
01:03:48Right.
01:03:50So, did you have a good time watching the carols?
01:03:53Yeah, it was so cool.
01:03:55I want to be a caroler when I'm older.
01:03:57And I bet you'll sing all the best bits from the carols.
01:04:00Especially all the high notes, like this.
01:04:02Ah!
01:04:05My God, how good was that?
01:04:06That was terrible.
01:04:09Anyway, thank you again for today, Ben.
01:04:13I think we got it from here, though.
01:04:14And some of us have some wrapping to do.
01:04:18Right, Jack?
01:04:20Uh, right, yeah, yeah.
01:04:21We've got some wrapping to do.
01:04:25Wrapping?
01:04:26I know what they mean.
01:04:28Present wrapping.
01:04:30Oh, I've got to do some of that, too.
01:04:32You do?
01:04:33Who for?
01:04:34Shall I, um...
01:04:35I'll pass those here, mate.
01:04:36I'll get rid of them.
01:04:43Is he OK?
01:04:47Hmm, he can be weird.
01:04:50But I think it's tomorrow.
01:04:52It's supposed to be the best day ever.
01:04:54That is a lot of pressure.
01:04:56Yeah.
01:04:57I hope he's OK.
01:05:00Oh, thanks again, Ben.
01:05:02And, uh, Merry Christmas.
01:05:04Merry Christmas.
01:05:05Merry Christmas.
01:05:08Merry Christmas.
01:05:09Bye, Ben.
01:05:09Oh, good.
01:05:34You're down.
01:05:35Is everything OK?
01:05:37Shall you go up to sleep?
01:05:38Yeah, fine.
01:05:40She's asleep.
01:05:42Well, I put her presents in the kitchen cupboard for you.
01:05:45Uh, they still need wrapping, but, you know, I thought the kitchen would be safe.
01:05:49She won't go looking in there.
01:05:52Thanks.
01:06:05Are you OK?
01:06:06Of course.
01:06:09Why wouldn't I be?
01:06:11Well, you just...
01:06:12You seem a bit distracted.
01:06:15And since we got back, I...
01:06:17I thought...
01:06:18There's nothing wrong.
01:06:21You sure?
01:06:25Jack, you know you can talk to me.
01:06:28Look, Mary, I've been thinking.
01:06:37OK.
01:06:38Thinking about what?
01:06:40Well, after Christmas.
01:06:42When the holidays are over.
01:06:44When Harper goes back to school.
01:06:47What about it?
01:06:48Well, we won't need a nanny anymore.
01:06:58What?
01:07:01There won't be much work for you here.
01:07:03And she'll be safe in school.
01:07:05I can pick her up.
01:07:07Are you firing me?
01:07:11Of course not.
01:07:11You haven't done anything wrong.
01:07:13I just think that we should be realistic about how much you're needed here.
01:07:25Look, I'm not working now, and I'm just not sure if it's worth you staying on over the holidays.
01:07:33What I'm trying to say is, you can go early, if you want.
01:07:39Go?
01:07:41You don't want to spend Christmas with your employer, surely.
01:07:45Especially when you clearly have somewhere else to be.
01:07:50What do you...
01:07:51It's somewhere else to be?
01:07:54Your boyfriend, obviously.
01:07:57Jack, I don't...
01:07:59I don't need the details.
01:08:01My point is, is that I don't want to stop you from spending Christmas where you want to spend it.
01:08:08And neither does Harper.
01:08:11I...
01:08:11I want to be here.
01:08:14You're just saying that.
01:08:23In fact, I think it would be best if you left this evening.
01:08:27It'd be less painful for Harper that way.
01:08:31You understand that, surely?
01:08:35Yes, you?
01:08:37If, um...
01:08:39If that's what you want, then, um...
01:08:42I guess I'll go back my things.
01:08:45Yes.
01:08:58Jack.
01:09:02Bye, Mary.
01:09:03Dad, Santa came!
01:09:29He came!
01:09:30Morning, Albie.
01:09:34I have to tell Mary.
01:09:37Mary!
01:09:38Mary!
01:09:40Santa came!
01:09:45Where's Mary?
01:09:46She's not in the kitchen.
01:09:48She thinks she's still in bed.
01:09:49Should I go wake her up?
01:09:51She's not in bed, Albie.
01:09:52What is it?
01:09:57Where's Mary?
01:09:58She left last night.
01:10:05Do you want to spend Christmas with her boyfriend?
01:10:08Her boyfriend?
01:10:10Yes, but I...
01:10:11I don't want to go into it.
01:10:13Mary doesn't have a boyfriend.
01:10:15Oh, but I said I don't want...
01:10:17Wait.
01:10:19What did you say?
01:10:20Mary doesn't have a boyfriend.
01:10:21But yesterday, she and Ben, in the driveway, I thought...
01:10:29Ben's is Mary's friend.
01:10:31They've been friends since Mary came to England.
01:10:33They're best friends, Dad.
01:10:34Not boyfriend, girlfriend.
01:10:37How do you know?
01:10:39I asked her.
01:10:40Oh, God, I would have been such an idiot.
01:10:46What happened?
01:10:48I can't believe it.
01:10:52What happened, Dad?
01:10:53I'm so sorry, Harpy.
01:10:57I've ruined everything.
01:11:00I sent Mary away because I thought that she and Ben were seeing each other.
01:11:07I got jealous of Ben.
01:11:09Do you like Mary more than just a friend?
01:11:16I think I do.
01:11:20What can I do now?
01:11:22God, I was so horrible to her.
01:11:29We have to get her back.
01:11:31We can't let her think we don't care about her.
01:11:34Besides, no-one can be alone this Christmas.
01:11:37But how?
01:11:39I wouldn't even know where to start.
01:11:41I have an idea.
01:11:42Come on, Dad.
01:11:43We have to get everything ready.
01:11:48What's the matter?
01:11:49I'll get it.
01:12:10I'll get it.
01:12:10I'll get it.
01:12:11Okay.
01:12:26Terrence, are you okay?
01:12:28I'm fine.

01:17:58Hey, Herbu, did you give your dad his present yet?
01:18:14I forgot.
01:18:15We were too busy getting it all ready for you.
01:18:18Can I give it to you now?
01:18:20Sure.
01:18:23I, um, I got you one too.
01:18:25Oh, you, you didn't need to do that.
01:18:30Open it.
01:18:30Go on.
01:18:46Oh.
01:18:49I thought it was time that you and Herbu made some new memories.
01:18:53And we're hiding away.
01:18:54Thank you, Mary.
01:18:57You're welcome.
01:19:02Oh, wow.
01:19:04Yeah, I'll make some space.
01:19:05Put them down.
01:19:09Hi.
01:19:11This one's for you.
01:19:12Thank you, Amber.
01:19:14What's this?
01:19:17What do we have?
01:19:22World's best dad.
01:19:23Oh, thank you.
01:19:33These are amazing, Herbert.
01:19:36Yay.
01:19:43This is amazing.
01:19:44Maybe in the new year you could go into the woods to hunt for dragons with Mary.
01:19:49A mermaid's in the sea.
01:19:50Whatever you like.
01:19:53Does that mean you're going to stay with us next year, too?
01:19:56Yep.
01:19:57I'm not going anywhere.
01:19:59Pinky, promise.
01:20:03Well, now that we've all unwrapped some presents, who's hungry?
01:20:07Mate, it smells so good.
01:20:09Let's do good, then, shall we?
01:20:11It does smell great.
