00:00:00Ever since I was a young girl, I only ever had one dream, I only want to run on tennis leg.
00:00:18I just want to run on tennis leg, I only want to run on tennis leg, I only want to run on tennis leg.
00:00:45Two down, six to go.
00:01:03Maggie, oh come in, come in, what a nice surprise.
00:01:07Oh I know, I said I'd call, but why do that when I can just drop in unannounced?
00:01:12I hope you don't mind, I put up a few Christmas decorations just to make it feel more like home.
00:01:17Does it feel like home yet?
00:01:19Well it's only been a day.
00:01:21Well, it looks fabulous already, when you first mentioned renting a furnished place I knew I had the perfect listing.
00:01:26Oh, I made you a little bit of a welcome to the neighborhood Christmas bath.
00:01:32Oh, you didn't have to do that.
00:01:34Will your family be visiting over the holidays, because Cedar Park shines at Christmas time?
00:01:39No, it's just me.
00:01:41Oh, but it's fine.
00:01:43It's fine, my medical fellowship will keep me busy and I plan on volunteering fracture shifts.
00:01:48Yeah, that's very nice and I do think it's very important to give back when we can, so...
00:01:53Oh, oh dear, okay, I have to go, somebody's expecting me, I can't be late.
00:01:57Oh, no.
00:01:58I have to go.
00:01:59I have to go, somebody as well.
00:02:00Oh, honey, get it.
00:02:01Oh, oh!
00:02:02Oh, come on, come on, it's cold.
00:02:03Oh, my God.
00:02:04Oh, come on, come on, it's cold.
00:02:05Oh, my God.
00:02:06Oh, come on, come on, it's cold.
00:02:08Oh, oh, my God.
00:02:09Here, give me your bags now.
00:02:10You sure all matter?
00:02:11You're taller.
00:02:12I swear you're taller, are you?
00:02:13Come on, honey, Maggie, we're just shorter.
00:02:15Come on, come on, it's cold.
00:02:17Here, give me your bags.
00:02:19You sure all matter?
00:02:20I swear you're taller.
00:02:21Come on, honey, Maggie, we're just shorter.
00:02:29Well, I know your first choice was Northwest Falls Medical
00:02:32in Chicago, but I'm so pleased you matched with us, Dr. Stafford.
00:02:35It's going to be a fellowship program, and orthopedics
00:02:37is one of the best.
00:02:38Well, we may be a small hospital, but we are mighty.
00:02:41I certainly believe it.
00:02:43Well, tomorrow we'll get you acclimated,
00:02:45and, uh, you can jump right in.
00:02:48I look forward to it.
00:02:50Good, good.
00:02:54You have good people around you?
00:02:56Sure. Yeah?
00:02:57Mom, there's barely enough room as it is.
00:02:58Ah, me.
00:02:59Where are you going to put it?
00:03:00Back home after six years.
00:03:02I just want to make all your things.
00:03:04Mom, you could feed an entire regiment.
00:03:06She had me make three different trips to the store today.
00:03:09Well, there still is nothing quite like Mom's home cooking,
00:03:12I'll tell you that.
00:03:13And now you can have it anytime you like.
00:03:16We're so proud of you, son.
00:03:17Grandpa would be too, knowing you followed in his footsteps.
00:03:24Thanks, Pop.
00:03:25It's nice to be home.
00:03:27Good to have you home.
00:03:30Well, first things first.
00:03:31As much as I would love to have you living with us,
00:03:33I'm pretty sure you'd like to have a place to call your own.
00:03:36So, I know a great spot over in Camden.
00:03:38Mm-hmm.
00:03:39It's not far from the hardware store.
00:03:41I could always use an extra pair of hands, you know.
00:03:43Gets busy during the holidays.
00:03:44Mm-hmm.
00:03:45Yeah.
00:03:46And also, you could help me out sometimes
00:03:47when I'm showing my listings.
00:03:48Okay, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
00:03:49Let's just slow down here, shall we?
00:03:51I just got back into town.
00:03:53I'm very happy to be here.
00:03:54Can't we enjoy this nice meal together?
00:03:56Sure.
00:03:57I just, uh...
00:03:58I mean, I just don't know why.
00:03:59You should sit around waiting for things to happen.
00:04:01Better to be busy, huh?
00:04:02Okay, what's going on here?
00:04:04Sorry, honey.
00:04:05Um, it's just that we know that you thrive on structure,
00:04:08so we thought that...
00:04:09The Air Force was good for that.
00:04:10We just don't want you to be adrift.
00:04:13I'm fine.
00:04:14You don't have to worry about me, okay?
00:04:16Okay.
00:04:17I will figure out my next steps.
00:04:19Oh!
00:04:20Honey, fake cancer!
00:04:21Oh!
00:04:22Ha-ha!
00:04:23There's more?
00:04:26Okay, one regular latte, one almond milk latte,
00:04:39one soy latte, one vanilla latte, one chai latte.
00:04:42Which is a lot of lattes.
00:04:44I'd start a new job today.
00:04:45I want to do something nice for everyone.
00:04:47One cappuccino, one mochaccino, one americano,
00:04:50and one decaf.
00:04:51I do my best.
00:04:52Thanks.
00:04:53You're welcome.
00:04:54Watch out!
00:04:55Coffee train.
00:04:56Full steam ahead.
00:04:57Do you need some help there?
00:04:58Thanks.
00:04:59I've got it.
00:05:00Whoa, whoa.
00:05:01Are you sure?
00:05:02Uh...
00:05:03Positive.
00:05:04Now you're just trying to prove something.
00:05:06I have no idea what you're talking about.
00:05:08You know, it's not the worst thing to ask for help.
00:05:10Well, if I ever need any, I know who to ask.
00:05:13Suit yourself, Kate.
00:05:14How did you know my...
00:05:15It's written on the cups.
00:05:17All nine of them.
00:05:18Hi, everyone.
00:05:20This is Dr. Kate Stafford, our new orthopedic fellow.
00:05:29As you can see, her instincts are already top notch.
00:05:31Or it's just my way to try to win everyone over.
00:05:34Or it's just my way to try to win everyone over.
00:05:37I've got a patient waiting,
00:05:38but Liz here has offered to show you around.
00:05:42Great.
00:05:43Hi.
00:05:44Hi.
00:05:45Liz Warner, nurse and manager of Christmas merriment.
00:05:49Oh.
00:05:50Self-appointed.
00:05:51This is my third year at Cedar Park Hospital.
00:05:54Really is a wonderful place.
00:05:56The town, the people, it's all so lovely.
00:05:58You'll meet everyone,
00:05:59and soon enough this place will feel just like home.
00:06:01For the year at least, until my fellowships.
00:06:04It's done.
00:06:05Where are you from?
00:06:06Oh, well, I moved around a lot,
00:06:07so I never really know how to answer that question.
00:06:11Here, let me help.
00:06:15Don't you just love Christmas?
00:06:17I do, yeah.
00:06:19But it's been a while since I've had a proper celebration.
00:06:24We'll have to do something about that.
00:06:28Yeah.
00:06:34Oh, here, let me get you another one.
00:06:36Oh, no, that's okay, Mom.
00:06:37I'm all right.
00:06:39How's your leg feeling?
00:06:41It's okay.
00:06:42I've just been sitting too long.
00:06:42Yeah, no.
00:06:43Why don't you have that checked out?
00:06:44Mom, you don't need to worry about me.
00:06:46It's fine.
00:06:47I'm your mother, so it's my job.
00:06:48To Marie, so I'm just going to call the clinic.
00:06:49Mom, no.
00:06:51We will follow up next week, Mrs. Jones.
00:06:54Thank you, Dr. Stafford.
00:06:56And I will be sure to plant those hyacinths
00:06:58just like you suggested.
00:06:59Thanks for the gardening tips.
00:07:01Gardening tips?
00:07:03At this rate, you're going to win over the whole town.
00:07:05Hey, Kate, your next patient's ready.
00:07:07Thanks.
00:07:10Hello, Mr. Matthews.
00:07:12I'm Dr. Stafford.
00:07:13Kate, from the coffee shop.
00:07:16Huh, it's you.
00:07:17I prefer Kevin, actually.
00:07:19Well, Kevin, from the coffee shop.
00:07:22What can I help you with?
00:07:24I don't need any help.
00:07:25Then why'd you come here?
00:07:26My mom made me.
00:07:27Aren't you a little old for that excuse?
00:07:29I thought so, but she insisted I get my leg looked at.
00:07:32Well, what happened to it?
00:07:34Intrigued it during military service,
00:07:36and he'll just find the end.
00:07:37Can I go now?
00:07:38Shouldn't you be at a VA hospital?
00:07:40The nearest one is a couple towns over.
00:07:41This was a lot quicker.
00:07:42I'm a busy guy.
00:07:43Clearly.
00:07:44Well, let's take a look at it.
00:07:46Since you're here.
00:07:47It's fine, really.
00:07:48Then it should be quick.
00:07:49So how did you injure it, exactly?
00:07:56I kicked a shark in the face.
00:07:58Hmm.
00:07:59That's funny.
00:08:01I was pararescue.
00:08:03It's a division of the Air Force.
00:08:05Two years ago, during an airdrop exercise,
00:08:07my chute malfunctioned.
00:08:09When I hit the ground, my leg took the brunt of the impact.
00:08:12Two surgeries later, good as new.
00:08:14Any recurring pain?
00:08:15Every now and then.
00:08:18Well, this hospital has a great physical therapy program.
00:08:21I don't need it.
00:08:22I'm all good.
00:08:23I, um, vaguely recall someone telling me it's not the worst thing to ask for help.
00:08:30Oh, well, if I ever need any, I know who to turn to.
00:08:36Do I get a lollipop now?
00:08:39Cute.
00:08:43Hey, Mom.
00:08:44Hi, honey.
00:08:45Kate?
00:08:46Oh.
00:08:46I should have realized you'd be working here.
00:08:51Wait a second.
00:08:52You two know each other?
00:08:53I helped Kate find her new rental property.
00:08:55Oh.
00:08:56Yeah, Kevin Matthews.
00:08:57Maggie's your...
00:08:58Mom.
00:08:59Yeah.
00:09:00Isn't this a delightful coincidence?
00:09:02Yes, Dr. Stafford.
00:09:04Wouldn't you say our experience together was delightful?
00:09:07One of many words in the dictionary to choose from.
00:09:10Hmm.
00:09:11Did he get the all clear?
00:09:13Yes.
00:09:14Yes.
00:09:15But I'm sure, as you know, your son is very...
00:09:19independent.
00:09:21Yes.
00:09:22So, too, it seems, is Dr. Stafford.
00:09:26Then I guess you've each met your match.
00:09:30Hi.
00:09:33Doctor?
00:09:33I just saw the most stubborn patient.
00:09:44That's all handsome guy with the good hair.
00:09:46I suppose his height is statistically above average.
00:09:50Hey, are you free this Saturday?
00:09:53I'm organizing the annual Christmas event here.
00:09:55Hmm.
00:09:56Sounds fun.
00:09:56Yeah.
00:09:57I always plan a big event for the patients and their families.
00:09:59My first year was a bake sale, then the pageant.
00:10:04And this year?
00:10:05A musical performance by the Cedar Park Warblers.
00:10:08All the holiday hits.
00:10:10Well, who doesn't love a holiday hit?
00:10:11Anything I can do to help?
00:10:13No.
00:10:14Just enjoy.
00:10:15I'll be there.
00:10:21Extension cables will give your Christmas lights enough power to wow the whole street.
00:10:25Thanks.
00:10:26Merry Christmas.
00:10:27Merry Christmas.
00:10:28It's nice to see another Matthews work into Matthews Family Hardware again.
00:10:31Oh, just like weekends in high school.
00:10:33Well, if you're not careful, you may wind up with the keys to the kingdom.
00:10:38Well, well, well.
00:10:40If it isn't the hometown hero himself.
00:10:42There he is.
00:10:43Hey, buddy.
00:10:44Hey.
00:10:45Good to see you.
00:10:46I was home and swung by yesterday, but got caught at the camera shop.
00:10:48But hey, better late than ever, right?
00:10:50Nah, don't sweat it.
00:10:51I see you're not just here for me.
00:10:53Outlet plugs, edge guards, cabinet locks.
00:10:58I know you're clumsy, but this seems excessive.
00:11:00Or, uh, perfect for baby proof in a house?
00:11:04No.
00:11:06Congrats, man.
00:11:07Oh, that's incredible.
00:11:08You and Carolyn must be thrilled.
00:11:09Oh, yeah.
00:11:10Thrilled.
00:11:10Elated.
00:11:12Nervous as heck.
00:11:12Take your pick.
00:11:14So you're going to name the baby Kevin?
00:11:16Kevin.
00:11:16For sure.
00:11:16Nice.
00:11:17Yeah.
00:11:17Oh, that's a great idea.
00:11:18Yeah.
00:11:18So, you getting your own place soon?
00:11:24Keeping my options open.
00:11:26Oh, speaking of, you got to let me introduce you to some of Carolyn's friends.
00:11:29Listen, dating is the last thing on my mind right now, okay?
00:11:32And so, what's on your mind?
00:11:34Why is everyone so concerned about my next moves?
00:11:37I'll land on my feet.
00:11:38Transitioning to civilian life can't be easy.
00:11:41I'm figuring it out.
00:11:43Oh, working here's a good start.
00:11:45Yeah, I think my dad may want me to take over the store one day.
00:11:49That's great.
00:11:51That's not great.
00:11:53I don't really have the heart to tell him.
00:11:54It's not really my...
00:11:56You're calling.
00:11:57Yeah.
00:11:58Yeah, I bet he'd understand.
00:12:00Not so sure.
00:12:01What about the VA?
00:12:02Don't they have a job placement service?
00:12:03Yeah.
00:12:04I've got a meeting with them in a few days, actually.
00:12:06Good.
00:12:06Yeah.
00:12:07I have a big picture.
00:12:08What do you want?
00:12:10To find you some cabinet locks, you're definitely going to have a hard time opening.
00:12:13Okay, I got it.
00:12:18Six-letter word for glossy-toting.
00:12:25Oh, enamel.
00:12:33What's a nine-letter word for something I've been avoiding?
00:12:38Packing.
00:12:39Oh, yeah.
00:12:39Oh, yeah.
00:12:45I don't know.
00:12:54Oh, my God.
00:13:01Oh, yeah.
00:13:02Hello?
00:13:15We're closed.
00:13:30We're closed.
00:14:00We're closed.
00:14:07We're closed.
00:14:14We're closed.
00:14:21A journey of giving unlocks with this key.
00:14:23I saw this riddle, and you shall see.
00:14:26A riddle?
00:14:29Letters aplenty, only seven for me.
00:14:31To Santa they went by air.
00:14:33Let's see.
00:14:34The tree with four sides is where you'll find me.
00:14:37December 16th at 7.30.
00:14:40That's tomorrow night.
00:14:42Hey Kate, how was your night?
00:14:59The strangest thing happened.
00:15:01Somebody left this key outside my door along with a riddle.
00:15:04Hmm.
00:15:08That's exciting.
00:15:09Yeah, but who would have left it for me?
00:15:11Maybe it's the spirit of Christmas.
00:15:14I'm sure it's just somebody playing a prank.
00:15:17Regardless, could be a fun challenge.
00:15:19Or a distraction I don't have time for.
00:15:22I wouldn't be so quick to brush it off.
00:15:24Magical things tend to happen around the holidays.
00:15:27Dad, have you ever seen a key like this?
00:15:41No.
00:15:42Where's it come from?
00:15:43I don't know.
00:15:44Somebody left it outside the store last night.
00:15:46Looks vintage, that's for sure.
00:15:48Well, they left a riddle along with it as well.
00:15:51It must lead to something.
00:15:53What you gonna do?
00:15:55Solving some random riddle is the last thing in my mind right now.
00:16:00Son, I remember.
00:16:02Used to have an adventurous spirit.
00:16:14Hey, did you solve the riddle yet?
00:16:16Not yet.
00:16:18What are we waiting for?
00:16:20Letters are plenty.
00:16:21Only seven from me to Santa.
00:16:23They went by air, land, and sea.
00:16:25A tree with four sides is where you'll find me.
00:16:28What's a tree with four sides?
00:16:30Maybe it's a topiary?
00:16:32A very geometric topiary.
00:16:34You have anything like that in town?
00:16:36Like a tree in an English manor garden,
00:16:38perfectly sculpted into a cube by a groundskeeper named Cheats?
00:16:42Not that I know of.
00:16:43All right.
00:16:44Letters are plenty.
00:16:45Only seven for me.
00:16:46So it's obviously describing the object I'm looking for.
00:16:49What has seven letters and has something to do with Santa?
00:16:53Reindeer.
00:16:55Reindeer.
00:16:56That's eight letters.
00:16:58That's it.
00:17:01What's it?
00:17:03Letters.
00:17:04The kind that kids send to Santa by air, land, and sea.
00:17:07And what has letters aplenty?
00:17:09Mailbox.
00:17:10M-A-I-L-B-O-X.
00:17:13Seven letters.
00:17:14This key belongs to a mailbox in town.
00:17:18But where?
00:17:19I have until 7.30 tonight to figure that out.
00:17:29Okay, I know you're a mailbox, but where are you?
00:17:33Okay, 15 minutes left.
00:17:39Tree with four sides is where you'll find me.
00:17:43What has four sides?
00:17:45What trees have four sides?
00:17:47What thing with four sides has trees?
00:17:54Juniper square?
00:17:56Tree square.
00:17:57Tree square.
00:17:58Tree square.
00:17:59Oh.
00:18:00All right.
00:18:26That's it.
00:18:43Tate?
00:18:44Kevin?
00:18:45I know this is a small town, but it's not that small.
00:18:48You got one, too.
00:18:50Someone left this outside my door last night.
00:18:52Along with a riddle?
00:18:53Yeah, a pretty easy one if you ask me.
00:18:55Of course.
00:18:56I bet you didn't need any help with it at all.
00:18:58No, I didn't.
00:18:59I'm a certified genius.
00:19:00Didn't you know that?
00:19:01Is that so?
00:19:02Yes.
00:19:03Okay, fine.
00:19:04But why were we both sent to the same place
00:19:06at the same time with the same key?
00:19:10Oh.
00:19:11Look.
00:19:12Huh.
00:19:14I wonder what's inside.
00:19:15Only one way to find out.
00:19:21Ready?
00:19:23Come this far.
00:19:24Oh-ho-ho-ho-ho!
00:19:26Well, I guess we know which one we're gonna open first.
00:19:29Hey.
00:19:30Oh, come on!
00:19:31It's like when you see a door that says, do not open,
00:19:32you just want to know what's inside the...
00:19:33Fine, we'll do it your way.
00:19:34Congratulations, you found me.
00:19:35For the first stop on your journey of giving,
00:19:37choose a treasured Christmas tradition
00:19:38from one of your childhoods
00:19:39and help each other recreate it for someone you know.
00:19:41Help each other, huh?
00:19:43Well, Dr. Stafford, it seems you're finally gonna have to give in.
00:19:45Oh, like you, at the hospital?
00:19:46I didn't need any help.
00:19:47Neither did I.
00:19:48I seem to remember a near avalanche of almond lattes.
00:19:49I guess we're both just two people
00:19:50who like to do things for themselves.
00:19:51I guess so.
00:19:52So...
00:19:53That's it, then?
00:19:54That's it.
00:19:55Journey in's here?
00:19:56Guess so.
00:19:57Good, I think you're gonna have to give in.
00:19:59Oh, you're gonna have to give in?
00:20:01Okay.
00:20:02I'm not gonna have to give in, but we're gonna have to give in.
00:20:03I'm not gonna have to give in.
00:20:04Okay.
00:20:05And I'm gonna have to give in.
00:20:06I'm gonna have to give in your friend,
00:20:09I'm gonna have to give in.
00:20:10You're gonna have to give in.
00:20:11Oh, you're gonna have to give in.
00:20:12If you're gonna have to give in.
00:20:13Oh, like you, at the hospital?
00:20:14I didn't need any help.
00:20:15Neither did I.
00:20:16I seem to remember a near avalanche of almond lattes.
00:20:17I guess we're both just two people
00:20:18That's it then?
00:20:19That's it.
00:20:20Journey in's here?
00:20:21Guess so.
00:20:22Good.
00:20:23Fine.
00:20:29So you just went your separate ways?
00:20:31Yep.
00:20:32But the adventure, the mystery, the riddle that led you there.
00:20:36The real riddle is why are men so stubborn?
00:20:39I don't think it's just men.
00:20:41I can't help it if Kevin doesn't want to work with me.
00:20:44Maybe you can get him to reconsider.
00:20:46Or maybe this little holiday journey wasn't meant to happen.
00:20:50Speaking of things that weren't meant to happen,
00:20:52the Cedar Park Warblers got their dates mixed up and double booked.
00:20:56Ugh, no.
00:20:57Yeah, it's fine.
00:20:58I just have to find a new event on short notice.
00:21:00Well, I'm headed out to run some errands on my break,
00:21:02but I'll keep an eye out for any ideas.
00:21:04Oh, thanks, girl.
00:21:05Of course.
00:21:09Okay, wait. So you both just walked away?
00:21:11Yep.
00:21:12Well, maybe she'll change her mind.
00:21:15I don't know.
00:21:17Kate seems like the kind of person who's very set in her ways.
00:21:21Huh.
00:21:22I can say the same about you.
00:21:24Oh.
00:21:26Here to reconsider?
00:21:28You're the one who didn't want to work together.
00:21:30I seem to remember it differently.
00:21:32You must be Kate.
00:21:33Hi.
00:21:34Hi.
00:21:35I'm, uh, Jackson.
00:21:36And before I excuse myself to let you work out whatever this is,
00:21:41uh, Kevin definitely does want to work together.
00:21:43He thought you didn't.
00:21:46Okay.
00:21:47I'm gonna be, uh, I'm gonna be back there now.
00:21:49Great idea.
00:21:50All right. Thanks.
00:21:52So you actually do want to do this?
00:21:57Do you?
00:21:58Well, I'm very busy at the hospital.
00:22:01It's a busy season at the store, so...
00:22:03Besides, who knows how long it could take.
00:22:05It's a big risk, yeah.
00:22:06But if we did...
00:22:07It is interesting.
00:22:08It's not something you see every day.
00:22:09Definitely not.
00:22:11Okay, well...
00:22:13I'm game if you are.
00:22:15Well, I'm game if you are.
00:22:18Are you just going along with us to prove something?
00:22:20Are you?
00:22:21I suppose neither of us will ever know.
00:22:24Hmm.
00:22:25Fine.
00:22:26I'm in.
00:22:27Great.
00:22:28I'm in, too.
00:22:29Now, could you tell me where I could find some sponges?
00:22:31Oh, so you're not just here to see me.
00:22:33Mm, happy accident.
00:22:34I just need to pick up some cleaning supplies,
00:22:36and I didn't even know you worked here.
00:22:38It's my father's store.
00:22:41Sponges are over there.
00:22:44What else can I help you find?
00:22:45Uh, I'm good, thanks.
00:22:46I thought we were working together now.
00:22:51Fair enough.
00:22:52Feather duster?
00:22:53Next to the squeegees.
00:22:54See?
00:22:55You make a great team.
00:22:56Cute.
00:22:57So, when do you want to start?
00:22:58I could meet after my shift ends.
00:23:00Great.
00:23:01See you then.
00:23:03Jackson, a word, please?
00:23:09Mr. McAdleston?
00:23:10That's me.
00:23:11Nice to meet you.
00:23:12I'm Dr. Stafford.
00:23:13Right this way.
00:23:14When did the pain in your hip begin?
00:23:16This morning.
00:23:17I could barely get out of bed to bring myself here.
00:23:19Oh, I'm sorry to hear that.
00:23:20We'll start with a physical exam to see what's going on.
00:23:23You looked my symptoms up online,
00:23:25and I may have a very rare condition,
00:23:28and it's called...
00:23:29What's it called?
00:23:30It begins with an L.
00:23:31Let's not focus on what might be,
00:23:33and instead focus on what we learned, Mr. McAllister.
00:23:36That's a good idea.
00:23:37Oh, and before I forget,
00:23:39my symptoms also match this other condition
00:23:42that I saw online,
00:23:43and the photos of it were absolutely terrible.
00:23:46Now, I'm very concerned about that,
00:23:48because I had an uncle
00:23:49who had a very similar situation,
00:23:51and, uh, you know, he, uh...
00:23:59Kevin?
00:24:01Sorry I'm late.
00:24:03One of my patients discovered WebMD.
00:24:05Ooh, see no more.
00:24:07Here you go.
00:24:08Oh, thanks.
00:24:09You're welcome.
00:24:10Yeah.
00:24:11What do we got?
00:24:12You ready?
00:24:13Choose a treasured Christmas tradition
00:24:15from one of your childhoods,
00:24:16and help each other recreate it
00:24:18for someone you know.
00:24:19When do we get to open this one?
00:24:21Only once you've completed this task,
00:24:23you may peek inside the second envelope.
00:24:26Fine.
00:24:27Okay.
00:24:28Do epic snowball fights count?
00:24:30Eh.
00:24:31Yeah, I didn't think so anyway.
00:24:32Yeah.
00:24:33Um...
00:24:34Okay, what were some of your favorite
00:24:35Christmas traditions as a kid?
00:24:37Oh, I always loved it when I'd wake up
00:24:40and my dad's recipe book
00:24:41was on the kitchen counter.
00:24:42It meant that we were about to bake
00:24:43some delicious Christmas cookies together.
00:24:46That sounds nice.
00:24:47Are you gonna see your folks
00:24:48over the holidays?
00:24:49Oh, um...
00:24:51I'm sorry.
00:24:52I didn't mean to pry.
00:24:53No, no, no.
00:24:54No, I just...
00:24:55I lost my parents when I was young.
00:24:57I'm so sorry, Kate.
00:24:59My grandma raised me after that,
00:25:01but, yeah, I've been on my own
00:25:02for quite a while now.
00:25:04Must be hard.
00:25:06I try to remind myself to be grateful
00:25:08for the times we had together.
00:25:10But, uh, try as I might,
00:25:13I did not inherit his baking skills.
00:25:16Well, my mother is an expert in the kitchen
00:25:18and all I'm good at is eating.
00:25:20But I'm, like, really good.
00:25:22I bet.
00:25:23When I was young, my mom and I used to decorate our own ornaments.
00:25:30We'd buy beads and glitter and water-based paint.
00:25:34We'd design little landscapes or snowflakes or elves.
00:25:40It always made the tree feel like ours.
00:25:43Why don't we just do that?
00:25:45Really?
00:25:46Yeah, why not? Sounds like fun.
00:25:48Yeah, okay.
00:25:49But we're supposed to do it for people we know,
00:25:51and I don't know anyone in town except for you
00:25:53and my colleagues at the hospital.
00:25:55Like Liz.
00:25:57Liz?
00:25:58She's one of our nurses.
00:26:00She always organizes the holiday activity at the hospital,
00:26:03but the warblers double booked, so...
00:26:05Ah, the famous Cedar Park warblers.
00:26:07Great with the holiday hits.
00:26:09Terrible with time management.
00:26:11Well, Liz needs a new holiday event this weekend.
00:26:15I think ornament decorating could be perfect.
00:26:18So do I.
00:26:19Great.
00:26:20All right. Will you hold this?
00:26:21Sure.
00:26:22I'm gonna call her.
00:26:23You're gonna call her right now?
00:26:24Right now.
00:26:25Okay.
00:26:26Hi, Liz.
00:26:27I have an idea I think you're gonna love.
00:26:31Hi, everyone.
00:26:32This is a holiday tradition I always did with my mom,
00:26:35and I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.
00:26:38You done?
00:26:39All right, everyone.
00:26:41Let's get decorating.
00:26:43Come on.
00:26:44No!
00:26:45We wish you a Merry Christmas.
00:26:47We wish you a Merry Christmas.
00:26:50We wish you a Merry Christmas.
00:26:54And a Happy New Year.
00:26:57The tidings we pay to you and your king.
00:27:04We wish you a Merry Christmas.
00:27:06We wish you a Merry Christmas.
00:27:07We wish you a Merry Christmas.
00:27:08And a Happy New Year.
00:27:11Mm-hmm.
00:27:12There.
00:27:14What do you think?
00:27:15Am I budding Michelangelo?
00:27:19Was that a...
00:27:20Was that a horse?
00:27:21It's a reindeer.
00:27:23It's Rudolph.
00:27:24Look at the nose.
00:27:25Right.
00:27:26That giveaway.
00:27:27All right.
00:27:28Art is not my strong suit.
00:27:29Let's see yours.
00:27:32Whoa.
00:27:33Okay.
00:27:34All right.
00:27:35I'm gonna chalk that up to you being trained in surgical precision.
00:27:38I can't do this.
00:27:39I can't do this.
00:27:40I can't do it.
00:27:41No, I can't do this no more.
00:27:42No.
00:27:43Did you see that?
00:27:44I can't do it.
00:27:45Just try with this hand.
00:27:46Give another shot.
00:27:47It's okay.
00:27:48I can't do this.
00:27:49Robbie.
00:27:50I can't do this.
00:27:51I'm Kate.
00:27:52What's your name?
00:27:53Robbie.
00:27:54Must be hard decorating ornaments with your armor cast.
00:27:57Yeah.
00:27:58The doctor put it on today.
00:27:59He's a trooper through the whole thing.
00:28:01You know, some kids have their friends sign their cast.
00:28:04Would you like us to sign yours?
00:28:08Say, is that a C-130 you've got there?
00:28:11How did you know?
00:28:12Well, I just got back from the Air Force, where I was a pararescue men.
00:28:15Which means I jumped out of planes just like that one.
00:28:18Really?
00:28:19Yeah.
00:28:20Except a couple years ago I hurt my leg and I had to wear a cast too.
00:28:24But I wasn't going to let that stop me.
00:28:25I could have fun in all kinds of other ways.
00:28:27Like how?
00:28:28Daddy, look!
00:28:29Well, just because you can't decorate an ornament doesn't mean you can't make one.
00:28:34That's right.
00:28:35The nice thing about Christmas trees is anything can become an ornament.
00:28:37Like my airplane?
00:28:38Exactly, dude.
00:28:40You can just rest it in the branches, you know?
00:28:42Or you can make it an actual ornament by adding a bit of ribbon.
00:28:46Oh, there's an idea.
00:28:47There you go.
00:28:48And get your finger right in the middle.
00:28:52Ready?
00:28:53There.
00:28:54Finished.
00:28:55Well, not quite, may I?
00:28:58Just one finishing touch.
00:29:01Mm-hmm.
00:29:02U-S-A-F.
00:29:11U.S. Air Force.
00:29:14Well, can I see?
00:29:15Of course.
00:29:16It's official now.
00:29:18It's beautiful.
00:29:19It really is.
00:29:20But you know what?
00:29:21It's missing one thing.
00:29:25Get up there.
00:29:26Airman Robbie, please report for duty.
00:29:31Great job, everybody.
00:29:48Beautiful.
00:29:49You two make a great team.
00:29:50It looks like the event was a hit.
00:30:06What?
00:30:07No, nothing.
00:30:08It's just you were really great with Robbie back there.
00:30:22Oh, is that a compliment I hear?
00:30:24More a statement of fact.
00:30:25Okay.
00:30:26Not everyone has a good bedside manner.
00:30:27Well, Doctor, it was, uh, kind of nice working together.
00:30:32Yeah.
00:30:33It was.
00:30:34Oh, uh, we're forgetting something.
00:30:39The no peeking envelope.
00:30:41How could we forget to peek at the no peeking envelope?
00:30:44At the no peeking envelope.
00:30:46All right, let's see what we've got here.
00:30:49Ooh, another riddle.
00:30:51Christmas clock rewind between then and now you'll find.
00:30:56A chance for Christmas cheer connecting far and near.
00:31:00Hmm.
00:31:01I wonder what it means.
00:31:02Hmm.
00:31:03But I don't have to wait because I have to start my rounds.
00:31:06Yeah.
00:31:07I've got a meeting at the VA staffing agency.
00:31:10Um, meet up after?
00:31:12Sure.
00:31:13Okay.
00:31:14Yeah.
00:31:15And don't solve it without me.
00:31:17Hey, no promises.
00:31:18You know, your resume is impressive.
00:31:24Top grades in college.
00:31:26Knowledge of construction and manufacturing.
00:31:29Experience leading teams.
00:31:31But what is it you actually want to do?
00:31:34You know, I haven't really zeroed in on that quite yet.
00:31:38Well, you are well suited for the majority of jobs that come across my desk.
00:31:43I'm not just looking for any job.
00:31:45I've got one here and I can continue there if I want.
00:31:48What I'm really hoping to find is...
00:31:50What the next chapter of your life is going to be.
00:31:53Exactly.
00:31:54Yeah.
00:31:55Well, that's only something that you can really answer.
00:31:58Hey, buddy.
00:31:59Hey, if I can't find wooden dowels, can I use nails instead?
00:32:16Uh-oh.
00:32:17Are you building something?
00:32:19Hey, it's all, you know, it's all under control.
00:32:21If I could just locate the instruction manuals, I'd be cool.
00:32:25Uh-huh.
00:32:26I'm coming over.
00:32:28Sure, if you want to.
00:32:29I mean, yeah.
00:32:30See you soon.
00:32:39I would have gotten it eventually.
00:32:41You know, Jackson, you are good at many, many things.
00:32:44If I ever need a photographer or the latest up-to-date camera equipment,
00:32:49you're the first person I'd turn to.
00:32:51But building of any kind...
00:32:52Is that not my strong suit?
00:32:53No, sir.
00:32:54What if I'm, uh, if I'm not good at it?
00:32:58At what?
00:32:59Fatherhood.
00:33:00It's a whole different ballgame.
00:33:03My kid's gonna be depending on me, man.
00:33:06Listen, I know it's not the same thing at all,
00:33:09but my first few weeks in the Air Force, I was terrified.
00:33:14So, how'd you deal with it?
00:33:16Well, I just trusted that even if I didn't have all the answers,
00:33:20I knew when it came down to it, I'd do the right thing.
00:33:23Yeah, I hope I can get to that point.
00:33:26You will, man.
00:33:27Hey, how's that, um, Christmas mystery clue, uh,
00:33:31riddle hunt thing with Kate go?
00:33:33Oh, is that what we're calling it?
00:33:34That's what I'm calling it, okay.
00:33:35Um, you know what?
00:33:38It's, uh, it's actually going pretty well.
00:33:40Kevin?
00:33:41Hi.
00:33:42I was hoping to see you soon.
00:33:45Oh, my goodness.
00:33:46Congratulations in person. Look at you.
00:33:48Oh, thanks.
00:33:49It feels like it's happening so fast.
00:33:51So exciting.
00:33:53Oh, look at this crib.
00:33:56Mm-hmm.
00:33:57It's wonderful.
00:33:58Kevin, can you stay for dinner?
00:34:00I can't tonight. I'm sorry. I have plans.
00:34:03Next time.
00:34:04I'm so glad you're back.
00:34:05Good to see you.
00:34:06Me too.
00:34:07Shh.
00:34:08Now, what else can I fix around here and give you credit for, huh?
00:34:17Read me the clue again?
00:34:19Okay.
00:34:20Christmas clock rewind.
00:34:22Between then and now you'll find.
00:34:24A chance for Christmas cheer.
00:34:27Connecting far and near.
00:34:29Between then and now.
00:34:32Hmm, this is a fun one.
00:34:35I didn't know you were so into all this.
00:34:37Well, I owe it to my dad.
00:34:40Every Sunday morning we'd do crossword puzzles in the newspaper together and jigsaw puzzles at night.
00:34:45Oh, so you were his little puzzle apprentice, were you?
00:34:48Yeah, I guess I was.
00:34:51Sometimes I wonder if it's one of the reasons I got into medicine.
00:34:55Getting to the bottom of the challenge.
00:34:58Examining clues.
00:35:00Unlocking answers.
00:35:02What?
00:35:03Oh, nothing.
00:35:04That's just one of the things I loved about being in the Air Force.
00:35:07Strategizing.
00:35:08Problem solving.
00:35:09It's like putting together a puzzle.
00:35:20Maggie, hi.
00:35:21Do you need any help?
00:35:22Oh, hey, Ma.
00:35:23Hey, Kevin.
00:35:24Hi there.
00:35:25Hey, Kevin.
00:35:26Hi there.
00:35:27Hey.
00:35:28No, I'm fine, honey.
00:35:30What have you got there, Mom?
00:35:31Just a little Christmas shopping.
00:35:33For me.
00:35:34If you're lucky.
00:35:35You know, Christmas is only a week away.
00:35:37Kate, what are you doing tomorrow night?
00:35:38Well, I'm not on rotation at the hospital, so I'll probably...
00:35:41Okay, well, the correct answer is you're coming over to our house for dinner.
00:35:44Arnold and I insist.
00:35:45Oh, I don't want to impose.
00:35:47A little bit of advice.
00:35:48Don't try to fight it.
00:35:49Okay, then.
00:35:50Excellent.
00:35:51Okay, I gotta run, but I'll see you tomorrow night.
00:35:53And see you then.
00:35:54Great to see you.
00:35:55I never wanted to take no for an answer.
00:36:02Santa's Village looks incredible.
00:36:04Yeah.
00:36:05It's gonna look even better once Dad and I put the finishing touches on Santa's house.
00:36:08What?
00:36:09Yeah.
00:36:10Matthew's Family Hardware has sponsored and built Santa's Village every year since I was a kid.
00:36:14It's amazing to see how much it's grown since then.
00:36:16I had no idea.
00:36:17Why didn't you say anything?
00:36:19You never asked me.
00:36:20Get set.
00:36:21Go!
00:36:23Oh!
00:36:24Oh, I used to do the reindeer races every year growing up.
00:36:28Reigning champ four years in a row, don't mind the same.
00:36:31Mildly impressive.
00:36:33What do you say?
00:36:34With your knee?
00:36:35Uh, that's not the best idea, no.
00:36:37Afraid of a little friendly competition, are we?
00:36:40Oh, please.
00:36:41I'll hop gently.
00:36:43Dr. Stafford.
00:36:44Okay.
00:36:45Fine.
00:36:46Great.
00:36:47Doctor approved.
00:36:48Let's go.
00:36:49Okay.
00:36:50Do you wanna be Blitzen?
00:36:54Comment.
00:36:55Oh, please.
00:36:56Comment for sure.
00:36:57Yeah, typical.
00:36:58Everyone always wants to be Comet.
00:37:00What am I thinking?
00:37:02Green ears ready?
00:37:03Oh, boy.
00:37:04Green ears ready?
00:37:05Stop!
00:37:10Oh, so fast!
00:37:11Ha!
00:37:14What was that?
00:37:16Show up!
00:37:18Well, I had to make up for my ornament decorating skills.
00:37:20That's a good point.
00:37:21Plus, I may have run a bit of track in high school.
00:37:24Oh, boy.
00:37:26Oh!
00:37:27Oh!
00:37:28Sorry.
00:37:29It's okay.
00:37:31Christmas clock ruined.
00:37:36Pardon me?
00:37:37Look.
00:37:38Christmas through the ages.
00:37:39That has to be it.
00:37:40Oh, the museum.
00:37:41Yeah.
00:37:42It's not far from here.
00:37:44If we leave now, we can get there before it closes.
00:37:47Let's go.
00:37:48Gracia.
00:37:49Ha!
00:37:50Ha!
00:37:51Welcome to Cedar Park Historical Museum.
00:38:00Just to let you know, we'll be closing soon.
00:38:02Mr. McAllister?
00:38:03Dr. Stafford, what a surprise.
00:38:06And speaking of surprises, Kevin, I heard you were back in town.
00:38:10It's good to see you.
00:38:11You too, sir.
00:38:12I didn't know you worked here.
00:38:13Oh, Mr. McAllister doesn't just work here.
00:38:15He owns the museum.
00:38:16Curator of all things historical in this fine town.
00:38:19That's incredible.
00:38:20Actually, while I've got you here, have you ever heard of Lanz-Jorgen's syndrome?
00:38:24It's very rare.
00:38:25I will look into it.
00:38:27Didn't you say that the museum's closing shortly?
00:38:29Oh, yes, that's right.
00:38:30Well, feel free to have a quick look around.
00:38:33Let me guess.
00:38:34Patient Web MD?
00:38:35It's so special how your town celebrates history like this.
00:38:45Yeah, my grandfather used to take me to this exhibit every year.
00:38:48He was very into local history.
00:38:50Actually, it's still here.
00:38:53Wow.
00:38:55My grandfather built this.
00:38:58Was he from Cedar Park?
00:39:00He was.
00:39:01But he spent half of his life in the Army Air Corps stations all around the world.
00:39:05Wow.
00:39:06I can't believe he built all this.
00:39:07I know.
00:39:08Every Christmas morning, he'd let me help him put it together.
00:39:11We'd lay down the streets and the little trees.
00:39:14My favorite part was building the houses, of course.
00:39:17And then when he donated it to the museum, we'd come here every year and look at it again.
00:39:21It was like a cute little family thing.
00:39:24And, of course, I was also always here for that.
00:39:29Oh, look at that.
00:39:33Of course you did.
00:39:34This thing's a classic.
00:39:36Right?
00:39:37Isn't it amazing?
00:39:39I always wanted to ride in it as a kid, but Callister would never let it leave the museum.
00:39:45God, this sure brings back a lot of good old memories.
00:39:48You know, even if we don't solve the riddle, it was worth it to come here just to see all this old stuff.
00:39:53Well, hang on.
00:39:54Let's not give up yet.
00:39:55Right.
00:39:56Christmas Clock Rewind brought us here, so what was the next line?
00:39:59Uh, between then and now, you'll find.
00:40:02Okay.
00:40:04Let's see.
00:40:05Oh!
00:40:06Look at this bit.
00:40:08Vintage holiday outfits from back then?
00:40:10Well, if it is, I don't see any clues, and they are closing in a few minutes.
00:40:14Yeah, well, keep your eyes out.
00:40:15We can always come back tomorrow.
00:40:16Oh!
00:40:17Kate, look!
00:40:18Yes!
00:40:19Gotta be it, right?
00:40:20Yeah.
00:40:21Another envelope.
00:40:22And another thing I can't open.
00:40:23Don't even think about it.
00:40:24I won't.
00:40:25Congratulations.
00:40:26The next stop on your journey of Christmas giving is to send a message of Christmas cheer
00:40:41to someone you don't know, someone far or near.
00:40:45Well, this is turning out to be quite a little adventure.
00:40:48Right?
00:40:49I...
00:40:50So your hip is better, but now it's your knee.
00:40:58Well, you wouldn't believe it, but this morning I felt I was walking on hot coals.
00:41:02So it's your foot then.
00:41:04Don't worry.
00:41:05We'll check for inflammation and see what we can do for you, Mr. McAllister.
00:41:08You know, I looked online, and somebody said that there's a rare condition where pain
00:41:12in your hip can migrate to your knee and then...
00:41:14Mr. McAllister, it's wonderful to hear that your hip is no longer bothering you, but considering
00:41:18it went away as quickly as it came, I'm not quite convinced the two are connected.
00:41:22But don't worry.
00:41:23We'll get to the bottom of it.
00:41:24Thank you, Dr. Stafford.
00:41:25That's quite a relief.
00:41:26Of course.
00:41:28Mr. McAllister, can I ask you an unrelated question?
00:41:31Sure.
00:41:33If you were to receive a message of Christmas cheer from someone you didn't know, would you
00:41:39want a Christmas card or personalized cookies or, I don't know, skywriting?
00:41:45Christmas is the last thing on my mind right now.
00:41:49Billy, what about the Christmas exhibit at the museum?
00:41:54You know, I think the pain has moved to my other foot.
00:41:57We should get this checked out quickly.
00:41:59Of course.
00:42:00I'll, um, I'll order x-rays right away.
00:42:03Thank you, doctor.
00:42:09So there's five-year-old Kevin telling this elaborate story about how the dog ate the
00:42:22entire blue grave.
00:42:23I, and meanwhile...
00:42:24And meanwhile, Kevin's teeth were completely blue.
00:42:26Okay, how about we put a pause on the embarrassing stories?
00:42:32What?
00:42:33No, it's half the reason I came tonight.
00:42:34Okay, fine.
00:42:37How about a different story?
00:42:40How did you two meet?
00:42:41Oh, yeah.
00:42:42Oh, well, um, I actually came here for work.
00:42:46Just for a month.
00:42:47Our paths never crossed.
00:42:48That's right.
00:42:49And I was actually driving home to Dallas.
00:42:51Yeah.
00:42:52And then, um, and your car broke down.
00:42:54Yeah.
00:42:55And I had to be towed right back to Cedar Park.
00:42:56Yeah.
00:42:57Now, at that time I was working as a mechanic, you know.
00:42:59So, mother comes in and she's asking me all kinds of questions about how much is it
00:43:03gonna cost and how long is it gonna take, right?
00:43:06That would be an hour tops, by the way.
00:43:07Yeah.
00:43:08Yeah, well, a week and a delayed carburetor later, the car was good to go.
00:43:12Yeah.
00:43:13But I wasn't because I'd fallen in love with the mechanic.
00:43:15Mm-hmm.
00:43:16And we were engaged by the end of the year, huh?
00:43:18Oh.
00:43:19That's beautiful.
00:43:20We put our announcement in our Christmas card.
00:43:22Yeah, we did.
00:43:23Actually, here's the card with our engagement announcement.
00:43:28Mm-hmm.
00:43:29Oh, look at you two.
00:43:30Yeah, it feels like yesterday.
00:43:31Look at all that hair.
00:43:32Oh, you stop, you.
00:43:33Yes, mom likes to put these out every Christmas.
00:43:34Oh, I can see why.
00:43:36Gavin.
00:43:37Look.
00:43:38It's your old grandpa.
00:43:39Aw.
00:43:40Yeah.
00:43:41Oh, look at those frosted tits.
00:43:42Hey, it was a fool at the time, and you know it, okay?
00:43:43Yeah, well, so were my feathered bangs.
00:43:44Mm-hmm.
00:43:45I have no idea why I thought that.
00:43:46But is that, is that the model of the town that we saw at the museum?
00:43:49The very same, yeah.
00:43:50Such sweet memories.
00:43:51Every card is like a little time capsule.
00:43:52Oh, Grandpa.
00:43:53Yeah.
00:43:54You know, I always love getting cards.
00:43:55Yeah.
00:43:56You know, I always love getting cards for Christmas.
00:43:57Oh, I can see why.
00:43:58Oh, I can see why.
00:44:00Gavin.
00:44:01Look.
00:44:02It's your old grandpa.
00:44:03Aw.
00:44:04Yeah.
00:44:05Oh, look at those frosted tits.
00:44:06Hey, it was a fool at the time and you know it, okay?
00:44:07Yeah, well, so were my feathered bangs.
00:44:12I used Christmas cards when I was overseas made me feel closer to home.
00:44:17Kevin, that's it.
00:44:18What?
00:44:19Why don't we send Christmas cards to the troops overseas?
00:44:22Yeah.
00:44:23Wait, well, what's this?
00:44:25The next step with the riddles is send a message of Christmas cheer to someone you don't know.
00:44:30Yeah, we could send Christmas cards to American service men and women.
00:44:34That would definitely count.
00:44:35Absolutely.
00:44:36That's a wonderful idea.
00:44:37Or we could take a cue from the museum and send one from the whole town.
00:44:41The residents of Cedar Park wishing the troops a Merry Christmas.
00:44:44I love it.
00:44:45But that is, that's a lot of people.
00:44:47Yeah, and it's only six days till Christmas.
00:44:49Oh, yeah, it's not gonna get there in time.
00:44:51Oh, how about we send a video message?
00:44:54Like a video collage of people around town wishing the troops a Merry Christmas.
00:44:58Jackson would help you with the video equipment.
00:45:00Oh, yeah.
00:45:01We can do this if we do it together.
00:45:03I'll tell my friends.
00:45:04Yeah, yeah, I can do the same, yeah.
00:45:06I can tell customers at the store.
00:45:08I'm sure I can get a few doctors and nurses on board.
00:45:10Everybody's gonna be really excited to be a part of this.
00:45:13Mm-hmm.
00:45:14Great, and then I can send it to a friend of mine at Air Force Outreach who can distribute it.
00:45:19Great idea.
00:45:22Okay, check this out.
00:45:2430.4 megapixel full-frame sensor for superb video quality.
00:45:27Lithium batteries to keep you going all day long.
00:45:29And the built-in mic is not so bad either.
00:45:31Doesn't this all seem a bit much?
00:45:33Yeah, man, we don't even know how to work half of this stuff.
00:45:36Well, hey, that is why I'm here.
00:45:38I may not know my way around a crib, but I know how to make your video look good.
00:45:42Okay, well, um, Liz also said that she wanted help.
00:45:45She offered to bring a bunch of festive accessories.
00:45:47Oh, there you go.
00:45:48See, you got yourself a cinematographer and a stylist.
00:45:51You're in the big leagues now.
00:45:52I guess we are, huh?
00:45:53All right.
00:45:54What's the first shot, Spielberg?
00:45:55Okay, so I'm thinking a sweeping shot of a bunch of kids having an epic snowball fight.
00:46:01One of them gets hit right in the eye, right?
00:46:03And then I rush over to the kid and I help him out.
00:46:05Hey, guys.
00:46:06Hey, guys.
00:46:07Hey, guys.
00:46:08Hey, guys.
00:46:09Hey, guys.
00:46:10Hey, guys.
00:46:11Hey, guys.
00:46:12Hey, guys.
00:46:13Yeah, I'm all right.
00:46:14Thank you for all that you do.
00:46:17Peace and joy to everyone.
00:46:19Merry Christmas!
00:46:20Okay, big smiles, everybody.
00:46:23Okay.
00:46:24From all of us at Cedar Park.
00:46:27Happy Holidays!
00:46:29Beautiful.
00:46:30Okay, you guys ready?
00:46:32All right.
00:46:33And action.
00:46:35To all of you over there, season's greetings.
00:46:38Happy Hanukkah, Feliz Navidad.
00:46:41That's the spirit.
00:46:43Okay, ready?
00:46:44And action.
00:46:46Supporting our troops this holiday season.
00:46:48Merry Christmas from Cedar Park Hospital.
00:46:51Cut.
00:46:52Perfect.
00:46:53Yeah.
00:46:54Come have a look.
00:46:55How do you make this?
00:46:56Right here.
00:46:57Can you do it?
00:46:58This is going to be the best Christmas video ever.
00:47:00Sweet.
00:47:01Cute.
00:47:06From all of us at Cedar Park.
00:47:08Happy Holidays!
00:47:09Happy Holidays!
00:47:12The video's really good.
00:47:14I know.
00:47:15And underscoring it with a Christmas carol?
00:47:16Great idea.
00:47:17Thanks.
00:47:18I do love a good Christmas carol.
00:47:20All right.
00:47:21Now we've just got to wait for it to export.
00:47:23And then we're all good.
00:47:25Refill?
00:47:26Sure.
00:47:27Yeah.
00:47:28I like what you've done with the place.
00:47:29Thanks.
00:47:30All came with the rental.
00:47:31You didn't want to personalize it a bit?
00:47:32Put your own spin on things?
00:47:33I know.
00:47:34I know.
00:47:35Let me guess.
00:47:36The more you commit to a place, the harder it is when you have to leave.
00:47:41Yeah.
00:47:42Life in the Air Force.
00:47:43Always on the move.
00:47:44Anyway, if my parents have anything to say about it, I'll stay right here for good.
00:47:46My dad keeps dropping hints about me taking over to the hardware store.
00:47:48What's wrong with that?
00:47:49I'm nothing.
00:47:50It's just...
00:47:51It's his thing.
00:47:52You know?
00:47:53I mean, he built that place from the ground up.
00:47:54He always wanted to own his own things.
00:47:55You know?
00:47:56You know?
00:47:57I mean, he built that place from the ground up.
00:47:58He always wanted to own his own things.
00:47:59You know?
00:48:00I know.
00:48:01I know.
00:48:02I know.
00:48:03Let me guess.
00:48:04The more you commit to a place, the harder it is when you have to leave.
00:48:05Yeah.
00:48:06Life in the Air Force.
00:48:07Always on the move.
00:48:08What do you want?
00:48:09Oh!
00:48:10Export is complete.
00:48:11Time to send it off.
00:48:12And...
00:48:13There we go.
00:48:14They're gonna love it.
00:48:15I know.
00:48:16I sure would've.
00:48:17You know what this means we get to do next, don't you?
00:48:18What?
00:48:19Oh!
00:48:20Ah!
00:48:21Ah!
00:48:22Ah!
00:48:23Ah!
00:48:24Ah!
00:48:25Ah!
00:48:26Ah!
00:48:27Ah!
00:48:28Ah!
00:48:29Ah!
00:48:30Ah!
00:48:31Ah!
00:48:32Ah!
00:48:33Ah!
00:48:34Ah!
00:48:35Ah!
00:48:36Ah!
00:48:37Ah!
00:48:38No it's all yours.
00:48:39Is that a codex?
00:48:45Why am I not surprised you know exactly what that is?
00:48:48Who doesn't know what this is.
00:48:49Umm, I don't.
00:48:50Oh, right.
00:48:52So how does it work?
00:48:54Ah, well, it's sort of like a bicycle combination lock.
00:48:57You arrange the six letter wheels to spell out the correct password, and the cylinder
00:49:01slides open, revealing what's inside.
00:49:03What?
00:49:04Right?
00:49:05Cool.
00:49:06Yeah.
00:49:07Okay, so how do we guess the password then?
00:49:10Oh, maybe it has something to do with this Christmas tree.
00:49:13Oh, okay.
00:49:15Tree, Christmas tree.
00:49:19Bows, like deck the halls with boughs of home.
00:49:23Okay.
00:49:30The bell breaks.
00:49:31You know what?
00:49:32Speaking of breaks,
00:49:34maybe the answer will come to us if we take one.
00:49:36Oh, what'd you have in mind?
00:49:38Well, it's, uh, it's actually the town tree lighting tonight,
00:49:42and, um, I was wondering if maybe you wanted to go?
00:49:47So we can spend more time trying to crack the code?
00:49:50Exactly.
00:49:51Yeah.
00:49:52Meet you there later tonight?
00:49:54Sounds good.
00:50:01Whoa, oh, yeah.
00:50:05We've had the ornaments with cake.
00:50:09Hi.
00:50:11Hey.
00:50:13Um, I thought you might like some hot apple cider.
00:50:16Top shelf stuff.
00:50:18Perfect balance of cinnamon and nut.
00:50:20It's all about the spice ratio.
00:50:22Yeah.
00:50:25So...
00:50:26Codex?
00:50:27Right.
00:50:28Yes.
00:50:29Um...
00:50:30Oh, hey, guys.
00:50:31Hey.
00:50:32Oh, hi.
00:50:33So, uh, I'm gonna need your opinion on something.
00:50:35Carolyn and I were just discussing the theme for the nursery.
00:50:38Yeah, discussing is one way of putting it.
00:50:40Okay, don't you think an animal theme would be perfect?
00:50:43Clouds, honey.
00:50:45Sweet little clouds with smiley faces on them.
00:50:48Voila!
00:50:49But if you really think about it...
00:50:51Okay, well, what are you both doing tomorrow night?
00:50:53Oh, that's right.
00:50:54I forgot.
00:50:55So these guys throw the best ugly Christmas sweater parties.
00:50:58Yeah, 12 years running, started winter break in college.
00:51:01Right.
00:51:02Well, that sounds like fun.
00:51:03Actually, some of my classmates in med school used to throw an ugly sweater Christmas party,
00:51:07and I could never go because I was always too busy studying.
00:51:10Well, now is your chance to join ours.
00:51:13We're a real tight-knit group.
00:51:15Oh, boy.
00:51:16Give me some.
00:51:18Terrible.
00:51:19On that note, I would love to come.
00:51:21Great. Let me get your info.
00:51:22Oh, yeah.
00:51:24Wow.
00:51:25You and Kate seem pretty chummy.
00:51:27I don't know if I'd say chummy, but...
00:51:30But I thought all of this was the last thing on your mind.
00:51:37Oh, uh, sweetie.
00:51:38Mm-hmm?
00:51:39They have homemade gingerbread cookies here, so we should check out, maybe.
00:51:43Oh, okay.
00:51:44Then we'll see you both tomorrow night.
00:51:46Okay.
00:51:47Enjoy the rest of your evening.
00:51:52They seem so nice.
00:51:54They truly are the best.
00:51:57So, back to the puzzle.
00:51:59All right, everyone.
00:52:00We're gonna get started.
00:52:01Come on, everybody.
00:52:05Merry Christmas, Cedar Park!
00:52:07Woo!
00:52:09Thank you all for coming out to the annual tree lighting.
00:52:13It's wonderful to see so many familiar smiling faces.
00:52:18Especially those we haven't seen for some time.
00:52:21Kevin Matthews, our very own hometown hero.
00:52:24All right.
00:52:25Would you like to do the honors?
00:52:26Come on, Kevin.
00:52:27Yeah, Kevin.
00:52:28I'd love to, Mayor.
00:52:30Let's hear for Kevin.
00:52:31Woo!
00:52:32Duty calls.
00:52:33Come on, Kevin.
00:52:34Woo!
00:52:35Woo!
00:52:36Ooh.
00:52:37Yeah.
00:52:38That box.
00:52:39Thanks, Megan.
00:52:41Wow.
00:52:42This is the real hero of Cedar Park.
00:52:44Uh, okay, everybody.
00:52:45We're gonna start this countdown at five, yeah?
00:52:47Yes.
00:52:48Five!
00:52:49Five, four, three, two, one!
00:53:12You'll be happy to know that I picked out
00:53:14a Christmas tree this afternoon.
00:53:15Oh, yeah?
00:53:16Mm-hmm.
00:53:17Did you go all out and get the biggest one?
00:53:19Ha!
00:53:20You sound like my parents.
00:53:21Growing up, they'd tell me to pick out
00:53:23the biggest Christmas tree that I could find.
00:53:26Well, did you?
00:53:28I think so.
00:53:29But, you know, when you're five,
00:53:31everything looks gigantic.
00:53:32Yeah.
00:53:33And yes, I definitely need a stepstool
00:53:37for the one I picked.
00:53:38A rather tall, balsam fur.
00:53:41Ah, balsam. Classic.
00:53:43Yeah.
00:53:44Oh!
00:53:45Do you have the codex on you?
00:53:46Yeah, what are you thinking?
00:53:48Balsam.
00:53:49Oh.
00:53:50Yeah.
00:53:51Yeah.
00:53:52Okay.
00:53:53B-A-L-S-A-M.
00:53:58Balsam bust.
00:53:59I'll figure it out eventually.
00:54:00Yeah.
00:54:01Speaking of Christmas trees, do you think your parents would want to come over and help me decorate mine?
00:54:17What, I'm not invited?
00:54:18Uh, no.
00:54:19Yeah, no.
00:54:20Mm-mm.
00:54:21Definitely not.
00:54:22I think you might want to reconsider my height is a supreme advantage.
00:54:25All right.
00:54:26Fine.
00:54:27You got me there.
00:54:28A state would be thrilled to come over and help you.
00:54:30And I suppose it wouldn't be the worst way for me to spend my evening.
00:54:33Ha!
00:54:34So, are you warming up to this town yet, or what?
00:54:40It's not what I expected.
00:54:43Oh, no?
00:54:44And what did you expect?
00:54:46Well, not to be here, actually.
00:54:49My first choice in medical fellowships was Northwest Falls in Chicago.
00:54:53And why Chicago?
00:54:56It was the last place I lived with my parents before they passed.
00:55:01I always thought if I could get back there, I could somehow...
00:55:04Get that feeling of home, perhaps, too?
00:55:07Yeah.
00:55:09You'll get there eventually.
00:55:12Just a little later than I had hoped.
00:55:17Right.
00:55:23I...
00:55:24I still can't believe that you and your dad built Santa's village every year.
00:55:29Yeah.
00:55:30You know, I gotta admit, when I was a kid, I thought helping build it would get me some kind of in with Santa, and he would put my wishes at the top of the list.
00:55:40Right.
00:55:41Of course.
00:55:42What was on your wish list as a kid?
00:55:45Oh, typical boy stuff, you know, toy cars, comic books, that kind of stuff.
00:55:52How about you?
00:55:55A horse.
00:55:56A horse?
00:55:57Mm-hmm.
00:55:58Wow.
00:55:59I'd ask my parents for one every year.
00:56:01Of course, it was completely impractical, so they got me a rocking horse instead.
00:56:06Ah.
00:56:07Clever.
00:56:08But I still do want a real horse.
00:56:12Someday.
00:56:13It's on the grown-up wish list.
00:56:15Yes.
00:56:16The grown-up wish list.
00:56:17Mm-hmm.
00:56:18My own plane is online.
00:56:19Oh.
00:56:20Okay.
00:56:21What else is on yours?
00:56:22Opening my own practice, eventually.
00:56:25Maybe some traveling, too.
00:56:27Oh, actually, hearing about your time in the service got me thinking.
00:56:30Maybe some time with Doctors Without Borders would be interesting.
00:56:34Oh, yeah.
00:56:35Yeah, you'd be great at that.
00:56:41I'm glad you asked me here tonight.
00:56:44Glad you came.
00:56:45So, as you can tell, Mr. McAllister, we couldn't find anything wrong with your hip or your knee,
00:57:01but you say that there's pain in your shoulders and your latissimus dorsi,
00:57:04which is a scientific name for a muscle in your back that I'm guessing you found online?
00:57:08Well, so you must be as perplexed about the cause of this as I am.
00:57:12Let's take a look at your mobility, shall we?
00:57:14Okay.
00:57:15Here we go.
00:57:16There it is.
00:57:18I haven't seen you at any holiday festivities around town.
00:57:21Uh, that's more my wife's thing.
00:57:24She passed away this year.
00:57:26Oh.
00:57:27I'm so sorry.
00:57:29There's no point celebrating holidays without her.
00:57:32So, that was the rest of your night?
00:57:43Um, well, we didn't solve the codex.
00:57:46Yeah.
00:57:47I mean, how'd it go with Kate?
00:57:49Oh.
00:57:50It was, uh, a nice time.
00:57:53That's it?
00:57:55She got you by surprise, didn't she?
00:57:59I'll admit we are getting along more than our initial meeting would have predicted.
00:58:04Oh.
00:58:05That's a very practical assessment.
00:58:08My practical assessment is she's leaving in a year.
00:58:11A lot can happen in a year.
00:58:13You know, I wouldn't be starting a family with the love of my life
00:58:16if I let practical assessment stand in my way.
00:58:31No.
00:58:32Oh, seriously?
00:58:33Okay.
00:58:34I'm gonna go get some cider.
00:58:35Okay?
00:58:36Right back.
00:58:37Oh, hi!
00:58:40Hi.
00:58:41Hey.
00:58:42That is one ugly sweater.
00:58:45Thanks.
00:58:46Yeah.
00:58:47Yours is easily top ten.
00:58:48Yeah.
00:58:49Yeah.
00:58:50So, uh, how was your day?
00:58:53Good.
00:58:54Good.
00:58:55Yeah.
00:58:56And you?
00:58:57Good, too.
00:58:58Yeah.
00:58:59I had a really nice time last night at the tree lighting.
00:59:04Did you?
00:59:05I mean, I did, too, which is, uh, good.
00:59:10Um...
00:59:12Oh, um, I thought of another possible answer for the codex.
00:59:15You did, really?
00:59:16Yeah.
00:59:17Did you solve it yet?
00:59:18Oh.
00:59:19What do you take me for, a rogue operative?
00:59:20Oh, I don't know.
00:59:21Can't be too careful.
00:59:22You remember our first clue that we got?
00:59:25Mm-hmm.
00:59:26They talked about our journey of giving.
00:59:28Giving.
00:59:29Six letters.
00:59:30Yes.
00:59:31Right?
00:59:32What did I think of that?
00:59:33Would you like to do the honors?
00:59:34Absolutely.
00:59:35May I?
00:59:36Yeah.
00:59:38Okay, G, uh, B, I, N, yeah, G, yeah.
00:59:47Okay, you ready?
00:59:48Yeah.
00:59:49You sure?
00:59:50Yes!
00:59:51Yes!
00:59:52You did it!
00:59:53I did it.
00:59:54We did it.
00:59:55We did it.
00:59:56We did it!
00:59:57Are you ready?
00:59:58Yes.
00:59:59What's it say?
01:00:00Because Christmas is a season for giving, donate a gift to the Cedar Park Toy Drive,
01:00:05where you'll find a surprise gift of your own.
01:00:08Oh, come on.
01:00:09That doesn't sound too hard.
01:00:11Kevin?
01:00:12I just realized what we're standing under.
01:00:15Oh!
01:00:17Right!
01:00:18Uh, it's a mistletoe.
01:00:21Yeah.
01:00:23Okay.
01:00:27Um, oh!
01:00:28Hang on, my phone's ringing.
01:00:29Can you hold that?
01:00:30Yeah.
01:00:31Oh, it's the VA staffing agency.
01:00:34I gotta take this.
01:00:35I'll be right back?
01:00:36Yeah, of course.
01:00:37Go, go.
01:00:38I'll be right here.
01:00:39Okay.
01:00:40What made me not right?
01:00:41Right, okay.
01:00:47Hello?
01:00:48Hi, Kevin.
01:00:49I'm sorry for the late phone call.
01:00:50No problem.
01:00:51I just received word about an opening on a disaster relief organization.
01:00:55Oh, yeah?
01:00:56It's a real exciting company, and I think you'd be perfect.
01:00:59I mean, someone with your moral compass and experience leading teams.
01:01:04Yeah, that does sound interesting.
01:01:06Here's the catch.
01:01:07The position's in California.
01:01:10California?
01:01:11Uh, during our meeting, you said you'd be open to relocating if the right job came along.
01:01:16Right.
01:01:17I...
01:01:18I did say that.
01:01:19So...
01:01:21Can I submit you?
01:01:24Kevin.
01:01:25It doesn't hurt to take the interview.
01:01:27Right.
01:01:28Right.
01:01:29Never hurts.
01:01:31Okay.
01:01:32Dr. Stafford, I just want to say I'm really impressed with your performance here.
01:01:47You put your patients at ease.
01:01:49Your colleagues comment on your professionalism and your positive energy.
01:01:54I...
01:01:55I really appreciate that, Dr. Reagan.
01:01:57You could have a real future here, beyond your fellowship, if that interests you.
01:02:02Wow.
01:02:03I just wanted you to know.
01:02:06So, that's what we're all about here, rescuing those that have been affected by natural disasters,
01:02:19providing humanitarian aid, such as shelter, treatment, and more.
01:02:23Response is recovery and mitigation. It's just like my time in the Air Force.
01:02:26Exactly why I think you'd fit right in here.
01:02:29It was nice talking to you, Kevin. Let me connect with my team. I'll be in touch.
01:02:34Okay. Thank you, Kimberly. We'll talk soon.
01:02:46Hi.
01:02:47Hey.
01:02:48Sorry I'm late.
01:02:49No worries. What'd you bring for the toy drive?
01:02:51This is a little toy tool kit.
01:02:53Ah.
01:02:54That's how I got started. How about you?
01:02:56Wait, let me guess. It's a puzzle of some kind.
01:03:00Oh, am I really that predictable?
01:03:02Yes, you are.
01:03:03Oh, great.
01:03:05Okay, so according to the note, there's supposed to be a surprise gift for us here.
01:03:09Right.
01:03:12Kevin.
01:03:13There it is.
01:03:15Ha-ha.
01:03:17For Kate and Kevin, open me.
01:03:22Okay.
01:03:23Congratulations on nearing the end of this journey of giving. While Christmas is about giving, it is also about being open to receiving.
01:03:36My turn.
01:03:37My turn.
01:03:38For your final step, think back to when you received your favorite gift on Christmas morning and recreate that meaningful memory for each other.
01:03:45Meaningful memory.
01:03:47Hm.
01:03:49That's it.
01:03:50Did you think of something?
01:03:51It's not for me. It's for somebody else. I gotta run.
01:03:53What?
01:03:54Who?
01:03:55Yeah, I'll see you tonight at my place to decorate the tree.
01:03:58Okay.
01:03:59Mr. McAllister.
01:04:00Dr. Stafford.
01:04:01There's nothing wrong with you.
01:04:02What?
01:04:03What you've been experiencing. They're called minor psychogenic symptoms.
01:04:04Well, that sounds bad.
01:04:05No, no, no. It's good. It means that there's nothing wrong with you medically speaking.
01:04:20Well, I don't understand. Where do all the aches and pains come from?
01:04:24Well, your discomfort started acting up the closer you got to Christmas, right?
01:04:27So?
01:04:29I remember you told me that your wife loved Christmas. I'm guessing your most meaningful memories of the holidays are with her?
01:04:36What's that got to do with anything?
01:04:39You miss her. And that's why it's hitting you the hardest now.
01:04:43See, sometimes our emotional responses can translate into physical ones, and that's why you're hurting.
01:04:51But if you embrace Christmas as the time to remember all the wonderful things about your wife, the holiday can be a source of joy for you instead.
01:05:00I-I'm sorry. I know you mean well. But you didn't know my wife or what we had.
01:05:08And nothing can take away the pain of missing her.
01:05:12So if you'll excuse me, I have to get back to work. Good day, Dr. Stafford.
01:05:17I can see you last night.
01:05:30Have yourself a merry little Christmas
01:05:40Let your heart be light
01:05:46From now on
01:05:51Troubles will be my
01:05:55Okay, girl.
01:05:58Kate?
01:05:59Good here?
01:06:00Oh, that's perfect, yes.
01:06:04Here we are as in olden days
01:06:08Happy golden days
01:06:12Of y'all
01:06:15Faithful friends who are dear to us
01:06:22Gather near to us
01:06:26Once more
01:06:28You look just like them
01:06:38Oh, I remember that photo
01:06:40That was when we moved to Chicago
01:06:41I remember I cried the entire drive there
01:06:44It was Christmas time
01:06:47And I just, I miss my old house
01:06:49And my old neighborhood
01:06:49So my mom gave me this locket
01:06:52Oh
01:06:53Yeah, it's really sweet
01:06:54She said it was a reminder
01:06:55That no matter where I found myself
01:06:57For the holidays
01:06:58I would never be far from home
01:06:59That's beautiful
01:07:00Yeah
01:07:01Oh, it might be the hospital
01:07:03Yeah
01:07:04Hello?
01:07:14Kate Stafford
01:07:15It's Patricia Lynn with Northwest Falls Medical
01:07:18Northwest Falls?
01:07:20Yes, hi, yes
01:07:22Seth, how are you?
01:07:24Excellent
01:07:24I apologize for the late call
01:07:27But it's a timely matter
01:07:28There's been a change in our fellowship slate
01:07:31And a spot has opened up for you
01:07:33Oh, I've got to take this
01:07:40One second
01:07:40That's okay
01:07:41Hi there
01:07:46Kevin, hi
01:07:48It's Kimberly from California Disaster Relief
01:07:50Yes, hi, how are you?
01:07:52Great, thank you
01:07:53I spoke to my team
01:07:54And we all agree
01:07:55You'd be an excellent fit
01:07:56The job's yours
01:07:58Oh, wow
01:08:00Thank you
01:08:00That's, that's great to hear
01:08:02We can work out all the details
01:08:04In the next few days
01:08:05But just so I'm clear
01:08:06You're able to relocate
01:08:07After the holidays?
01:08:08Wow, um
01:08:09I'm sorry
01:08:10I didn't, I didn't expect this
01:08:12No, it's a lot to take in
01:08:14If you still want it
01:08:15The fellowship is yours
01:08:16It would start the first week in January
01:08:19Uh, can I give it some thought?
01:08:21Oh, of course, of course
01:08:22But we will need to know
01:08:23By end of day tomorrow
01:08:24Otherwise we'll have to release
01:08:26The slot to a runner-up
01:08:27Uh, yeah
01:08:30Let me look into that on my end
01:08:32Oh, and Kate
01:08:33Yes?
01:08:35We would really love to have you
01:08:36Everything good?
01:08:51Yeah, yes
01:08:52Yeah, all good
01:08:53Son, everything okay?
01:08:56Yeah
01:08:57Yeah, everything's good
01:08:58Yeah
01:08:58Dr. Stafford
01:09:13Mr. McAllister
01:09:16Actually, I'm glad you're here
01:09:17I wanted to apologize
01:09:18For what I said to you
01:09:19The other night
01:09:20There's no need
01:09:21Because you were absolutely right
01:09:23Last night I walked through Cedar Park
01:09:26And I looked at all the houses
01:09:28Lit up with sparkling lights
01:09:30Evelyn always loved doing that
01:09:32And I felt, uh, close to her again
01:09:35And this morning when I woke up
01:09:39Not a spot of pain anywhere
01:09:42That's wonderful to hear
01:09:45Well, I know this is a small token
01:09:48My appreciation
01:09:48But candy canes are always her favorite
01:09:51I don't know what to say
01:09:59Well, how about, um, Merry Christmas?
01:10:02Merry Christmas, Mr. McAllister
01:10:06Merry Christmas to you as well, Dr. Snapp
01:10:09Hey, man
01:10:21Hey
01:10:22So, what do you think?
01:10:26Wow
01:10:27Yeah, I'm feeling really good about things
01:10:30And I owe you a thank you
01:10:31For what?
01:10:32You know, for what you said
01:10:33When you came over the other day
01:10:35You were right
01:10:35I was putting too much pressure on myself
01:10:37To have all the answers
01:10:38I'll, uh, I'll learn as I go
01:10:40You're gonna be a terrific father, buddy
01:10:41Oh, hey, take a look at this
01:10:43Ah, looks great, right?
01:10:47Ooh, wow
01:10:48The student becomes the master
01:10:51So, by the way
01:10:52How did the interview go
01:10:53With the folks in California?
01:10:55Pretty good, I think, yeah
01:10:57Yeah?
01:10:58Well, they offered me the job, so
01:11:00Way to bury the lead, buddy
01:11:02Congrats, that's great
01:11:04Have you told Kate yet?
01:11:07Not yet
01:11:07Oh, I gotta run
01:11:10Carolyn's home
01:11:11She hasn't seen any of the nursery yet
01:11:13She is gonna love it
01:11:14Ah, thanks, man
01:11:15Talk later
01:11:16Bye-bye
01:11:17So, a job in California, huh?
01:11:22Hey, uh, didn't know you were standing there
01:11:25Yes, uh
01:11:27I haven't accepted it yet
01:11:29Why not?
01:11:32Well, it would take me out of Cedar Park
01:11:34So?
01:11:36So?
01:11:39If it's what you want, you should go for it
01:11:41But if I leave, who's gonna take over the hardware store?
01:11:44Take over the store?
01:11:45What are you talking about?
01:11:46What are you talking about?
01:11:48All the hints you've been dropping about how you love having me around
01:11:51Well, of course I love having you around
01:11:52You're my son
01:11:53This whole time, I thought you wanted me to take over Matthew's family hardware
01:12:00Kevin
01:12:02This store was my dream
01:12:06I never meant for you to feel like you had to follow in my footsteps
01:12:11I want you to pursue your own dreams, your own aspirations
01:12:14And if it takes you out of Cedar Park
01:12:16Then you should go for it
01:12:18It's not about what I want or what your mother wants
01:12:23It's about you, it's your life
01:12:25Go for it
01:12:27Dad, what if I don't know what I want yet?
01:12:33I mean, what if I leave
01:12:35And then I find out that what I actually want
01:12:37Was here in Cedar Park all alone
01:12:40Well, I guess you got some choices to make
01:12:44By the way, you'll always have a home here
01:12:48So Northwest Falls just offered you a spot
01:12:57Your dream job in your dream city
01:12:59I still can't believe it
01:13:00Are you gonna take it?
01:13:02I don't know
01:13:03But it's what you always wanted
01:13:05Have you told Kevin about the offer yet?
01:13:13No
01:13:14Well, you have to
01:13:15Wait, Liz, what a surprise
01:13:18Carolyn, hi
01:13:20I was just thinking about you and Kevin's big news
01:13:23Big news?
01:13:25Jackson told me that the disaster relief organization
01:13:28Offered him the job in California
01:13:29What?
01:13:33He didn't tell you
01:13:34Yes, right
01:13:36It's really great news
01:13:39It's very exciting for him
01:13:40For a second there, I thought I said something out of turn
01:13:43Well, I've got to get you an appointment
01:13:46But we'll all have to get together before he leaves
01:13:48I can't believe they want him to start right after the holidays
01:13:51Did you know about California?
01:14:03No, Kevin didn't say anything
01:14:04Okay, this is exactly why the two of you need to talk
01:14:08But if he got a job opportunity, I don't want to hold him back
01:14:11You don't know if he accepted the job or not
01:14:13Carolyn just said that he's leaving
01:14:14And he's been wanting to find something like this
01:14:17Maybe what he wants is changing
01:14:19Hey there, from all of us at Calusa Air Base
01:14:37We thank you for the well wishes and support
01:14:39It means so much to us
01:14:41Merry Christmas, Cedar Park
01:14:42Merry Christmas!
01:14:44Merry Christmas!
01:15:14Merry Christmas!
01:15:26Hi, Kimberly
01:15:27Hi, it's Kevin Matthews calling you
01:15:29Yeah, um
01:15:32Listen, I just want to thank you
01:15:34For the opportunity
01:15:35And for choosing me
01:15:36It really does sound like an incredible job
01:15:39But unfortunately
01:15:43I'm going to have to turn it down.
01:15:46Yeah, there are just some things that are keeping me here
01:15:48in Cedar Park.
01:15:51Thank you for understanding.
01:15:54Okay, you too. Bye-bye.
01:16:13Hey. Kevin.
01:16:15I'm sorry. I know that we're supposed to meet tomorrow morning
01:16:18to recreate a meaningful Christmas memory,
01:16:21but, um...
01:16:24Why are you packing?
01:16:26My first-choice fellowship called.
01:16:29A spot opened up.
01:16:31In Chicago? Yes.
01:16:36And you're... you're going to take it just like that?
01:16:39That's what I wanted all along.
01:16:41I thought this place was starting to mean something to you.
01:16:44Look, Kevin, I thought...
01:16:45Were you going to tell me,
01:16:47or were you just going to leave?
01:16:49This is exactly why I don't like getting too comfortable anywhere.
01:16:51It just makes leaving that much harder.
01:16:53Hmm. I see.
01:16:55Well...
01:16:57I'll make things easier on you then.
01:16:59Here.
01:17:02Safe travels.
01:17:11Hey! Hi. Come in. What a lovely surprise.
01:17:15Hey, hi, come in.
01:17:39What a lovely surprise.
01:17:40Oh, I can't believe tonight's Christmas.
01:17:42And I know that you're probably busy.
01:17:45I was hoping that you had a minute.
01:17:47I have something I need to ask you.
01:17:48Of course.
01:17:49But first, did you hear the good news about Kevin?
01:17:51Actually, he's staying in Cedar Park.
01:17:55What?
01:17:56I thought he was leaving for California for the job.
01:17:59Nope.
01:18:00Apparently, he turned it down.
01:18:01The news was such a wonderful Christmas Eve gift.
01:18:06That's great.
01:18:08Hey, Dad.
01:18:09Oh.
01:18:10I had an idea.
01:18:11You know, when I was researching jobs, I saw a lot of fundraising organizations looking
01:18:23for construction partners.
01:18:24Oh.
01:18:25And I thought, instead of building houses for Santa's Village, what if we built them for
01:18:29real?
01:18:30What do you mean?
01:18:32Sponsoring a new initiative.
01:18:35Building homes for local families in need.
01:18:37That's a beautiful idea, son, but I don't have the manpower.
01:18:40Well, you've got me.
01:18:46You'd work at the store?
01:18:49You know, being in the Air Force wasn't just about finding structure and discipline.
01:18:54It was about helping people.
01:18:56After everything with Kate, we just brought so much joy to people's lives.
01:19:01That's what I want to do with mine.
01:19:02I'm so proud of you.
01:19:04Have you told Kate about this yet?
01:19:06Uh, that's a little complicated at the moment.
01:19:09I'm sure you'll figure it out.
01:19:11Especially after you recreate the Christmas morning memory for her.
01:19:16Wait, I never told you about that.
01:19:19Sure you did.
01:19:21Oh, no, no, no.
01:19:23I never told you or Mom about that.
01:19:25Oh, it was Kate.
01:19:28Yeah.
01:19:29Yeah, she, uh, she called me and asked me about, uh, you know, Christmas morning's past.
01:19:34Yeah.
01:19:35Kate called you?
01:19:36Mm-hmm.
01:19:39Oh, gosh darn.
01:19:42Your mother and I were so good at keeping a secret.
01:19:46What?
01:19:47It was both of you this whole time?
01:19:49Oh, please don't let her know that I let it slip out.
01:19:52Oh, my.
01:19:53Wow.
01:19:54How did you put all of this together?
01:19:58Well, uh, after your mother and I got engaged, we wanted to move somewhere new.
01:20:04One morning, we found a set of keys and a riddle at our door.
01:20:08And, well, you know the rest.
01:20:10And it seems a friend of mine wanted to remind us of this magical town and giving back and Christmas spirit.
01:20:21Wow.
01:20:22How have I never heard this story before?
01:20:24Well, your mother and I had hoped that we could pay it forward.
01:20:30So now you're gonna stay?
01:20:31Yes, but it's probably too late.
01:20:32I messed up everything.
01:20:33I'm sure Dr. Reagan would love to have you back.
01:20:46And Northwest Falls can find a replacement.
01:20:48What about Kevin?
01:20:49Talk about it when you see him.
01:20:52Don't you have a Christmas memory to give each other?
01:20:55He already gave me his.
01:20:57It was perfect.
01:20:58I have no idea what to do for him.
01:21:01Well, figuring things out is what you do best.
01:21:05Cheer up.
01:21:06It's almost Christmas.
01:21:24Mr. McAllister?
01:21:27I need your help for a little Christmas Eve miracle.
01:21:30Well, you've come to the right place.
01:21:36Hey, how did you McAllister never... How did you make this happen?
01:21:58I may have called in a favor from a friend.
01:22:04Ha-ha!
01:22:06Hello.
01:22:08Wow.
01:22:10Well, what are you waiting for?
01:22:12Hop aboard. Okay.
01:22:18This is incredible.
01:22:22Meaningful Christmas memory and love?
01:22:24Definitely. Yeah.
01:22:28By the way, my parents were behind all of this.
01:22:30What? Yeah. How?
01:22:32I'll explain it all later, but...
01:22:34I wanted to apologize for yesterday.
01:22:37No, I should be the one apologizing.
01:22:41I turned the other fellowship down.
01:22:45So you're gonna stay in Cedar Park?
01:22:47There's nowhere else I'd rather be.
01:22:49I thought Chicago was the home you've always wanted.
01:22:51I only decided to leave
01:22:53because I thought you took the job in California.
01:22:55My home is right here with you.
01:23:02Happy rolls
01:23:03It will stay today.
01:23:04You said you were mad.
01:23:05You said it all.
01:23:06You said you were upping to live.
01:23:07You said you're a pilot.
01:23:08You ran away from the Didn't Remembered Hall
01:23:09She said you're stillDear.
01:23:10akukan
01:23:12ook
