00:00:00It's going to be Sterling Summit Capital's best year yet.
00:00:16Thanks for coming.
00:00:23See you after the break.
00:00:24Kate Stone, Executive VP of our Distressed Properties Division.
00:00:30Congratulations.
00:00:31Thank you, sir.
00:00:32Well, it's well-deserved.
00:00:33I mean, your eye for seeing the potential of distressed properties has skyrocketed over the last couple of years.
00:00:39You've done a tremendous job.
00:00:41Thank you so much.
00:00:42So, hey, am I taking Harvey's job, though?
00:00:45I mean, did he retire?
00:00:46No, he did not.
00:00:48He is actually working more from home.
00:00:50He wanted to take a step back for family time.
00:00:53And he doesn't handle pressure the way you do.
00:00:56Right.
00:00:56So, I understand that you're heading to a spa retreat for your Christmas break.
00:01:01Yes, I am.
00:01:02Well, okay.
00:01:03That means you'll come back recharged for more hours, more work, and more success next year.
00:01:08Yes.
00:01:10Enjoy yourself.
00:01:12Thanks.
00:01:12More headaches?
00:01:24Ah, comes with a job.
00:01:26Hey, do we ever get the signed escrow papers back from that place in the mountains?
00:01:30You never stop working.
00:01:33I love it.
00:01:34But yes, the Merry Mountain Inn should be in your inbox.
00:01:37Good.
00:01:38Good.
00:01:38Good.
00:01:38The pictures are amazing.
00:01:41They have this parlor room.
00:01:44Getting to work with properties like that, you're just the best part of this job.
00:01:49And you're stopping by there next week after the spa, right?
00:01:51I am so jealous, by the way.
00:01:54Yeah, it's actually not far.
00:01:56I'll get a chance to see the property in person, meet the owners, the millers, I think.
00:02:00Oh, by the way, your parents left a message during the party.
00:02:02They said that they've landed in Botswana and they will see you Christmas Day.
00:02:06For church and presents, yep.
00:02:07They're doing an African safari.
00:02:10Off the grid.
00:02:11Mm-hmm.
00:02:12Off the grid.
00:02:13Sounds nice, doesn't it?
00:02:15Mm.
00:02:16You could be off the grid at that spa.
00:02:18Just turn your phone off.
00:02:20Done.
00:02:21Maybe I will.
00:02:27Hey, cuz.
00:02:29Hey.
00:02:29Ooh, it's looking good.
00:02:31Yeah, thanks.
00:02:32Yeah.
00:02:32Hey, any bookings today?
00:02:34Uh, I don't think so, but you should ask your mom and dad.
00:02:37They're upstairs eating a caramel yule log, all happily in love.
00:02:40All in love, huh?
00:02:41Yeah.
00:02:42And they make it look so easy.
00:02:43Way too easy, right?
00:02:44Yeah.
00:02:44Hey, how was your date last night?
00:02:48Uh, it was nice.
00:02:50You liked her?
00:02:50No, I mean, the pasta was good.
00:02:52She was nice.
00:02:53It was, look, it just wasn't right, okay?
00:02:55I appreciate what you're doing.
00:02:57Okay.
00:02:57Just no more setups.
00:02:58No more setups.
00:02:59I got it.
00:02:59Okay.
00:03:00Just that I want you to be happy and find your person.
00:03:02I am happy.
00:03:03Okay, I just haven't clicked with anybody yet.
00:03:05All right?
00:03:06You did click with somebody.
00:03:07Once.
00:03:08Yes, you did.
00:03:08Don't give me that look.
00:03:09You did, too, click with somebody.
00:03:11What was her name?
00:03:11Um, the girl in business school from a long time ago.
00:03:15Katie?
00:03:15Yeah, whatever happened to her?
00:03:17That's, uh, last I heard, she was living it up in the city.
00:03:21Yeah, I used to be so in love with her, though.
00:03:23Oh, you know what?
00:03:24Ancient history.
00:03:25Okay?
00:03:25Yeah.
00:03:26Yeah.
00:03:26I'll see you inside, okay?
00:03:27See you later.
00:03:30Wow, that's so good.
00:03:43Hey, you guys are.
00:03:45Hey, honey.
00:03:46Hey.
00:03:46You want a piece of Yule log?
00:03:48It's my newest recipe.
00:03:49Yes, please.
00:03:50Don't have to ask me twice.
00:03:51How'd it go at the church this morning?
00:03:53Uh, it's great.
00:03:54Yeah, Greg and I are, uh, trying to get that reno done before Christmas.
00:03:57Well, they're lucky to have you guys.
00:03:59Well, you know, we've been having a slow week, thank you.
00:04:01Mm-hmm.
00:04:02So, we are glad to help.
00:04:05Hey, listen, uh, Brooke mentioned that there weren't any more reservations coming in.
00:04:10I know it's been tough since Harrison Farms moved out of state, but we gotta do something.
00:04:15Can you imagine?
00:04:16After 40 years.
00:04:18Well, they're quarterly events.
00:04:19We only needed a few guest reservations to stay afloat.
00:04:22And we can find you another client just like that, okay?
00:04:24But in the meantime, I think that maybe we should up your marketing...
00:04:28What was that?
00:04:29What's the look?
00:04:31There's no look.
00:04:32What look?
00:04:32There was a look, okay?
00:04:34Come on.
00:04:36Spill the beans.
00:04:37Who wants to go first?
00:04:39We stopped taking reservations.
00:04:41What?
00:04:41We were gonna talk to you.
00:04:43When?
00:04:43Well, we were trying to find a good time.
00:04:47Okay.
00:04:47Front entrance is all done.
00:04:49Oh, thank you.
00:04:51Take a seat, honey.
00:04:53Okay?
00:04:53Yeah, join this conversation.
00:04:56What's going on?
00:04:57We told you about the company interested in buying the inn.
00:05:01Yeah?
00:05:01Well, we went ahead with the sale of the property.
00:05:04We signed a contract last night.
00:05:06Wait, what?
00:05:06You signed last night?
00:05:08Yeah, you mentioned it, but, like, I didn't think that you were ready to pull the trigger on this.
00:05:12Well, it's a lot to maintain.
00:05:13With less income, we stopped hiring housekeeping service, we closed the parlor and other rooms.
00:05:19And your dad almost threw his back out the other day trying to fix the radiator.
00:05:23What, Dad?
00:05:23Why don't you call me?
00:05:24Well, we just...
00:05:26We're ready to take it easy.
00:05:27Your mom wants to go back to baking and gardening like she used to.
00:05:31And your dad wants to get back to tinkering antiques like he used to.
00:05:34Okay, but you guys can do those things without selling the inn.
00:05:37I mean, look, I can come and help more.
00:05:39Okay?
00:05:39I'll do that.
00:05:40And, I don't know, Brooke, do you maybe have time to help more?
00:05:43Yeah, of course.
00:05:44I mean, I can make my own hours at the accounting firm.
00:05:47I can.
00:05:48You already have a career.
00:05:49I know, but...
00:05:51We can help.
00:05:51Emmett, you own a construction company.
00:05:54You can't possibly run that as well as the inn.
00:05:57Listen, if this is going to be our last Christmas at the inn, why don't we make the best of it?
00:06:03Why don't you stay here for the week?
00:06:05It'd be a lot safer with the storm coming in.
00:06:08She's right.
00:06:08And we might need the extra help.
00:06:10That's a good idea.
00:06:11And you could stay here, too, honey.
00:06:13This is a family-run business.
00:06:16And you're family.
00:06:17And it's Christmas time.
00:06:18You're right, Mom.
00:06:19It is a family-run-in.
00:06:20And I think it should stay like that.
00:06:23Don't sell.
00:06:24Not yet, okay?
00:06:25At least give me a chance to stop this sale.
00:06:27Just to see if it's possible.
00:06:29Okay?
00:06:30And then we'll figure out a schedule where we can all help.
00:06:33And we'll do what we've got to do to muster up more business.
00:06:35Well, we already signed, but I don't think it's going to hurt to ask.
00:06:40If you feel strongly about it.
00:06:42I do.
00:06:44Now, what's the name of the company that wants to buy it?
00:06:47Sterling Summit Capital Group.
00:06:48How may I help you?
00:06:50I'm sorry.
00:06:51He's out.
00:06:52Most are out for the holidays.
00:06:54Mm-hmm.
00:06:58May I help you?
00:06:59Hi there.
00:07:00Yes.
00:07:01Name's Emmett Miller.
00:07:02Pleasure to meet you.
00:07:03Mm-hmm.
00:07:03I am here to speak to whoever's in charge of the acquisition of my parents' property.
00:07:07It's the, uh, Mary Mountain Inn.
00:07:09That would be Kate Stone.
00:07:10Let me see if she's available.
00:07:12Like, Katie Stone?
00:07:13Kate Stone.
00:07:15Kate Stone.
00:07:16Yes.
00:07:19Kate Stone.
00:07:25I'm sorry, who?
00:07:26He says that he's the son of the Millers who are selling the Mary Mountain Inn.
00:07:30Emmett Miller?
00:07:31Emmett Miller.
00:07:32Yeah.
00:07:33Emmett Miller?
00:07:36Yeah.
00:07:38Uh, send him in.
00:07:40Okay.
00:07:47Follow me.
00:07:48Yes, ma'am.
00:07:50It's good.
00:07:51Kate, Kate Stone.
00:07:52Kate.
00:07:58Ahem.
00:07:59Thank you, Maggie.
00:08:04Mm-hmm.
00:08:09Emmett.
00:08:11Katie.
00:08:12Oh, it's Kate now.
00:08:14Well, what's it been, like 15 years?
00:08:19Yeah, 15 years.
00:08:21Aren't you supposed to be overseas somewhere?
00:08:28Uh, retired last year, actually.
00:08:31Started my own construction business.
00:08:32I thought, duty first.
00:08:33I thought, duty first.
00:08:36That's funny.
00:08:36That's actually what I called my company, um, duty first construction.
00:08:40Wow.
00:08:41Yeah.
00:08:42Well, I figured after 25 years of service, maybe it was time to be a little closer to my parents.
00:08:46You look great.
00:08:53Can't get over the beard.
00:08:54I know, right?
00:08:55Me either.
00:08:56Uh, well, I mean, look at all this.
00:09:02You're like a big, fancy...
00:09:03I'm a distressed property buyer.
00:09:06That, yeah.
00:09:07I was gonna say, you kind of look a little stressed.
00:09:12Only you would make that joke.
00:09:13No, only because I thought it'd make you smile.
00:09:16You always were good at that.
00:09:18Well, I'm sure now you got someone else to make you smile these days, right?
00:09:22Oh, I'm...
00:09:24I'm fine.
00:09:26Yeah.
00:09:27Good.
00:09:28Yeah, I'm good.
00:09:29Good?
00:09:29Yes, I'm good.
00:09:31Good.
00:09:32I mean, are you, though?
00:09:33I mean, like, the girl I remember, she, like, loved Christmas.
00:09:36So I'm looking around here and I'm like, where's your Christmas decorations?
00:09:40I have a wreath.
00:09:43Yeah.
00:09:44You know, I'm pretty busy, so...
00:09:47Right, yeah.
00:09:48I'm sorry, why are you here, exactly?
00:09:50Right, I'm sorry.
00:09:52Look, I was just wondering if maybe you'd be open to discussing, you know,
00:09:55the purchase of my parents' end.
00:09:57Did your parents change their mind?
00:09:59No, not exactly.
00:10:00But, I mean, this isn't a done deal yet, right?
00:10:02Well, I'll be there to see the property and make my final decision next Friday.
00:10:06I could talk to them then.
00:10:09Okay, but you're not willing to talk to me now?
00:10:11You're not the seller.
00:10:12Okay, but you bought a property and, like, signed the papers without even having to look
00:10:15at it?
00:10:16I don't spend time driving out to a property unless I already know I can have it.
00:10:19You know, Emmett, your parents called us.
00:10:21Yes, they did.
00:10:24Well, you were always a go-getter.
00:10:27So, looks like you got everything you ever wanted.
00:10:31Not everything, Emmett.
00:10:35Katie.
00:10:37Hey, come on.
00:10:39Look, you had all these plans and dreams, and they were good.
00:10:43You don't want to be going from base to base, year after year.
00:10:46It's not the life for you, right?
00:10:48You didn't want that.
00:10:50Did you?
00:10:50I mean, look at this.
00:10:53Right?
00:10:53I guess you decided for both of us.
00:10:57Katie.
00:10:58Kate.
00:10:59You know, I have a lot to do, Emmett, so...
00:11:04Well, would you still be open to just at least discussing this on Friday when you come
00:11:08to the property?
00:11:09I'm not sure that's a good idea.
00:11:11Why not?
00:11:13I know it was a long time ago, but what we were?
00:11:16It meant something to me.
00:11:20Even if it didn't mean much to you.
00:11:21Hey, no, it did mean something.
00:11:23I can't do this.
00:11:24I'm sorry.
00:11:25I'd rather you not be there next week.
00:11:27Katie.
00:11:28Please.
00:11:38Okay.
00:11:38Okay.
00:11:56Sure thing.
00:12:03It's me.
00:12:04Well, come in.
00:12:05I was going to take off.
00:12:07Are you okay?
00:12:09Yeah.
00:12:09Oh.
00:12:15Uh, the meeting.
00:12:16You were listening.
00:12:18And taking notes.
00:12:19Like usual.
00:12:20I'm so sorry you had to hear all that.
00:12:23Emmett and I dated years ago.
00:12:26Opposites attract?
00:12:29Yeah.
00:12:29He was stationed at Fort Hamilton and he was wearing his uniform and he was so charming
00:12:36and kind.
00:12:39His love at first sight.
00:12:42At least for me.
00:12:43I mean, we only dated four months before he shipped out, but I was convinced he was the
00:12:50one and, and he just ended it.
00:12:55But I mean, clearly we're very different people.
00:12:58I'm, I'm sure it wouldn't have worked out.
00:13:00What a way to kick off the holidays, but soon you'll be at that spot and you can forget
00:13:06about everything.
00:13:07Yes.
00:13:08Yes.
00:13:09I need a break from my life.
00:13:12I think you'll get one.
00:13:14From your lips to God's ears.
00:13:18Thanks for tuning in this week.
00:13:20And this Christmas season, if things feel stressful from time to time, take a moment to give yourself
00:13:25grace.
00:13:26And remember that the best way to relax is to trust God.
00:13:30Listen to his guidance and let him do the rest.
00:13:35Listen, huh?
00:13:36I'll do my best.
00:13:42Oh, cool.
00:13:44See you in a week, merry mountaineo.
00:13:53Okay.
00:13:5519 more minutes.
00:13:57All right, got this.
00:14:00Good morning.
00:14:17Can you hear me?
00:14:21Do you know where you are?
00:14:22Careful.
00:14:25You're at the merry mountaineo, dear.
00:14:28Do you know your name?
00:14:30My name?
00:14:31Of course.
00:14:32It's, um...
00:14:34I don't know.
00:14:39Can you tell me anything about yourself?
00:14:44No.
00:14:44Do you remember how you got here?
00:14:52Uh...
00:14:53It's okay.
00:14:54I'm just gonna check your vitals and make sure everything's still stable, okay?
00:14:58Okay.
00:15:02Don't worry.
00:15:03Hey, Mom?
00:15:15Dad, where you at?
00:15:17We're up here, sweetie.
00:15:21Okay.
00:15:22Hey, there you guys are.
00:15:24Hey.
00:15:24Hey.
00:15:25So, what's going on?
00:15:26Late last night, the sheriff found a woman walking along the road.
00:15:32He thinks she might have been in an accident of some kind.
00:15:35Any idea where she came from?
00:15:36They don't know.
00:15:37They can't find the car.
00:15:39I mean, with this blizzard.
00:15:40The car went into a ditch along the highway.
00:15:42No telling when it might be recovered.
00:15:43Okay.
00:15:44Well, I mean, how'd she end up here at the inn?
00:15:47Paramedic buddy of mine called at 2 a.m.
00:15:49The clinic was past the bridge.
00:15:51Didn't want to risk the trip.
00:15:52That and the north bridge are closed now.
00:15:54Iced over.
00:15:55But we have plenty of room here.
00:15:57Is she doing okay?
00:15:58The doctor seems to think so.
00:15:59She said nothing serious, no concussion, but she seems pretty out of it.
00:16:03Yeah, some sort of amnesia.
00:16:05The poor thing.
00:16:06She has no ID with her either.
00:16:08Amnesia?
00:16:09Amnesia?
00:16:19I'm sorry to bother you.
00:16:38But, like, why do I know that this is called a bed and that 2 plus 2 was 4, but I don't know my own name?
00:16:46It sounds like those are two different parts of the brain.
00:16:49That's true.
00:16:50Thank you, Emmett.
00:16:51You're welcome.
00:16:52Why don't I remember anything about, like, me?
00:16:57It's post-traumatic memory loss.
00:16:59It typically affects personal, not global memories, and not skills.
00:17:04Like, for example, you might not remember what kind of car you own, but you'll remember how to drive it.
00:17:08Indeed.
00:17:09Thank you, Emmett.
00:17:11How long will this last?
00:17:13A few days to maybe a week.
00:17:15It's hard to say.
00:17:19The more you stay relaxed, the better.
00:17:23Objects, sounds, even smells can trigger memories.
00:17:27Just get some rest.
00:17:29Let me know if there's any changes, and I'll come back to check in on you soon.
00:17:33Okay, here.
00:17:35Try to keep her peaceful.
00:17:49It's important for her brain during this recovery process.
00:17:52No stress of any kind.
00:17:54We want her happy and relaxed.
00:17:56We'll take good care of her.
00:17:58I asked the sheriff to keep an eye out for any missing persons report in the area.
00:18:02If here's anything, he'll be in touch.
00:18:05And right before Christmas.
00:18:09Of course.
00:18:10All right.
00:18:22Whew.
00:18:25It's a beauty.
00:18:26Oh, yeah.
00:18:28A lot more room for meal prep.
00:18:31Hey, I hear there's been some excitement down at the inn.
00:18:33Really?
00:18:34What are you hearing?
00:18:35Oh, my wife's Bible study tends to segue from the scripture to talk about important town events.
00:18:41There's a new woman in town that was the topic of conversation this morning.
00:18:44To be honest, I don't know what I'm going to do.
00:18:47What's going on?
00:18:49Remember Katie?
00:18:51Katie?
00:18:52Yeah.
00:18:53Like Katie that I dated a long time ago before I shipped out, Katie.
00:18:56Oh.
00:18:57You're the one that got away, Katie.
00:18:59That's the one.
00:19:00I remember you talking about her.
00:19:01Yeah, well, she's the one at the inn.
00:19:04Amnesia.
00:19:05Wow.
00:19:07Yeah.
00:19:07Doesn't remember anything about herself or about me or about the company that she works for.
00:19:11That's about the by the inn.
00:19:14Well, it gets better.
00:19:16I can't tell her anything about it.
00:19:18Doctor's orders.
00:19:19You know, they don't want us to stress her out.
00:19:22And the thing is, man, I just saw her yesterday.
00:19:24Yesterday?
00:19:25Yesterday.
00:19:26So I drove all the way downtown, going to this big fancy office building.
00:19:29I want to stop the sale, right?
00:19:31Well, guess who's in there?
00:19:32Katie.
00:19:33Professionally known as Kate now.
00:19:34And she's the one in charge of everything.
00:19:36I mean, what are the chances?
00:19:38How did the meeting go downtown?
00:19:39Oh, man.
00:19:40Not good.
00:19:42She basically told me she didn't want to see me again.
00:19:43And if I'm being honest, I've always regretted how that relationship ended.
00:19:55Remind me?
00:19:55She was great.
00:19:58We were great.
00:20:00I mean, she was a student and she got her MBA.
00:20:04And all these Manhattan firms started offering her just these amazing jobs.
00:20:09I was a working class sergeant at the time.
00:20:11I'm bouncing around from base to base.
00:20:13She started soaring up the corporate ladder like she was on fire.
00:20:17She'd have lost all that with me.
00:20:26So wait.
00:20:28She was willing to follow you and you broke up with her?
00:20:32Yeah.
00:20:34I didn't think she'd be happy with that life.
00:20:38I wasn't sure she'd be happy with me.
00:20:40Oh, man, but it was good to see her.
00:20:48How am I supposed to be around her this whole time and just, like, say nothing about what's happening right now?
00:20:54Man.
00:20:55I just want to do the right thing.
00:20:59You're protecting her health, aren't you?
00:21:01That is doing the right thing.
00:21:03I hope so.
00:21:05Kind of feels like a second chance.
00:21:06One that I do not deserve.
00:21:12Just look at this time as a gift.
00:21:15Focus on helping her and let the big guy take care of the rest.
00:21:21Let the big guy take care of the rest.
00:21:36Let the big guy take care of the rest.
00:21:44I think it's so great.
00:21:45Let the big guy take care of the rest.
00:22:16Here we go. Dinner is served.
00:22:31This looks amazing.
00:22:32So good.
00:22:35Oh, thank you, Mom.
00:22:36Yes, you're welcome.
00:22:39Hello.
00:22:40Hi.
00:22:41Hey, how are you?
00:22:43You're just in time. Please, sit down.
00:22:45This is our niece, Brooke.
00:22:47Hi.
00:22:47It's nice to meet you.
00:22:48Nice to meet you.
00:22:53Well, hands.
00:22:55Yes.
00:22:55Yeah.
00:22:57Thank you, Lord, for the food.
00:22:59Bless the hands that made it.
00:23:01Bless the family and our new mystery visitor.
00:23:04Amen.
00:23:05Amen.
00:23:05Amen.
00:23:05Um, what should we call you, dear?
00:23:09I mean, until you can remember your name.
00:23:12Oh, uh, I'm open to suggestions.
00:23:17Well, how about Norma?
00:23:19That's my mother's name, Norma.
00:23:21Oh, we know.
00:23:22Honey, does she look like a Norma?
00:23:24Eh, maybe not.
00:23:25No.
00:23:26No.
00:23:26How about Samantha?
00:23:28What about something medieval, like Guinevere?
00:23:32What about Katie?
00:23:37Katie.
00:23:39I like it.
00:23:42Well, welcome to the family, Katie.
00:23:44Yes.
00:23:45Yeah.
00:23:47Yeah.
00:23:47Cheers.
00:23:48Cheers.
00:23:49Katie, how about after dinner, I bring up some pajamas?
00:23:53I think we're about the same size.
00:23:55That would be wonderful.
00:23:56Great.
00:23:56Okay, and then maybe tomorrow, if the weather calms down, we can take a walk into town and
00:24:00we can see about getting you some new clothes.
00:24:04Thank you all for everything.
00:24:06I just, I don't know how to repay you for my beautiful room and all this food and whatever
00:24:12you'd be buying me because I don't have any money.
00:24:15Don't concern yourself with that.
00:24:17You're fine.
00:24:18Yeah, all we want is for you to get better.
00:24:21Hmm?
00:24:22Well, maybe I can help out with a guest.
00:24:25Just like, help out during their stay somehow.
00:24:27The doctor said you're supposed to be relaxing.
00:24:30And besides, you're kind of the only guest right now.
00:24:33Yeah, true story.
00:24:34Yeah.
00:24:35We're selling the inn.
00:24:37Mom, I don't think she wants to be bothered with family business right now.
00:24:43Oh, it's okay.
00:24:44Your inn is so beautiful.
00:24:46I'm sure you've brought a lot of joy to a lot of people at Christmas time.
00:24:49Mm-hmm.
00:24:50And the new owner will as well.
00:24:52Oh, yeah.
00:24:55Cheers.
00:24:56Gail, I think it's time to eat.
00:24:57Oh, yes.
00:24:58I was just going to say, mashed potatoes, roast beef, salad, please.
00:25:04Right here.
00:25:05Hey.
00:25:12Wow.
00:25:13It looks like you two had a very successful day.
00:25:15We did.
00:25:16And you said you felt a little more like you now, right?
00:25:19I think so.
00:25:20Good.
00:25:20Whoever that is.
00:25:22Got new shoes, new clothes, new purse.
00:25:25I don't have much to put in the purse just yet.
00:25:29Not yet.
00:25:29But at least I have one.
00:25:31That's the spirit.
00:25:32Okay.
00:25:33I'm going to go work on those end-of-year invoices, and I'll see you later.
00:25:36Okay.
00:25:37Thanks, honey.
00:25:37All right.
00:25:37Okay.
00:25:44Um, well, what can I do?
00:25:47Absolutely nothing.
00:25:49You must be exhausted after a day like today.
00:25:51I really want to contribute somehow.
00:25:55It's the least I can do.
00:25:57And, you know, I actually think it might help me feel better.
00:26:02So, if you'll excuse me, I have a date with a very finicky hot water heater.
00:26:10You start here.
00:26:11Okay.
00:26:14We're trying to get the inn looking as beautiful as we can before the buyer arrives next week.
00:26:19All right.
00:26:20Will do.
00:26:21If you don't mind my asking, why are you guys selling?
00:26:29This place is incredible.
00:26:32Well, we lost the folks that kept us the busiest.
00:26:36It's probably for the best.
00:26:40Why do you say that?
00:26:42I think Ron is ready to start relaxing.
00:26:45He's worked so hard for so many years.
00:26:49Hmm.
00:26:50Hi.
00:27:13Hi.
00:27:14Hi.
00:27:14What are you doing?
00:27:16Cleaning the floor.
00:27:17What do you think?
00:27:18I think I can't get over how different you seem.
00:27:22Different from what?
00:27:25From yesterday, I guess.
00:27:27Oh.
00:27:28Yeah.
00:27:28Well, I am feeling much better.
00:27:31Really?
00:27:31That's good.
00:27:32Any new memories?
00:27:33Sort of.
00:27:34So, this soap, the smell of it reminded me of something.
00:27:38I think my high school?
00:27:40It was probably the same soap.
00:27:42Maybe.
00:27:43I had this flash of getting my report card, I think.
00:27:46And I think I was a pretty good student.
00:27:49Oh, I bet you are.
00:27:50A high achiever.
00:27:51Yes, sir.
00:27:52I'm going to get this floor as sparkling as it can be.
00:27:55I mean, they look amazing.
00:27:56Well done.
00:27:59It is so beautiful here.
00:28:01I just...
00:28:04Nothing.
00:28:06What?
00:28:06Well, just like if...
00:28:10If there's just like a couple more Christmas trees, but it's fine.
00:28:14You want to go Christmas tree shopping?
00:28:17Can we?
00:28:18Absolutely.
00:28:19Really?
00:28:20Supposed to be a break in the weather this evening.
00:28:32You getting another memory?
00:28:34No, but I love this.
00:28:37It smells like...
00:28:39Like pine?
00:28:42I was going to say, it smells like magic and comfort all at the same time.
00:28:50I might not know much about myself, but I know I love Christmas.
00:28:54Yes, you do.
00:28:56I mean, it's like, you know, it's evident that you love Christmas.
00:29:01Anyway, listen, why don't we go all out at the end?
00:29:03Huh?
00:29:03I mean, you've worked so hard to clean it up.
00:29:05Let's just buy a bunch of trees.
00:29:07Yeah?
00:29:07Yeah.
00:29:08Pick what you like.
00:29:10I mean, these all look great.
00:29:12That big one would be perfect for the entryway.
00:29:14Yes, it would.
00:29:15But I don't have any way to contribute.
00:29:17It's all going to be expensive.
00:29:19Hey, don't worry about it, okay?
00:29:20My company has had an incredible first year, and to be honest, my parents will love this.
00:29:25Let's do it.
00:29:26Don't you think the buyer will love it, too?
00:29:28Yes, I do.
00:29:30Well, it's going to take them a while to process this order.
00:29:33You want to grab some hot chocolate?
00:29:34Yes.
00:29:36They're for you, ma'am.
00:29:40Oh, thank you.
00:29:43Here you are.
00:29:44Thank you for this.
00:29:45Oh, you don't have to keep thanking me.
00:29:47I'll pay you back whenever...
00:29:48No, honestly.
00:29:49No need to say that, okay?
00:29:51I got you.
00:29:51I keep getting these whiffs of familiarity, almost like deja vu, but I don't know what
00:30:03any of it means.
00:30:05Well, doctor's orders, right?
00:30:09Just relax, enjoy life, be spontaneous, all right?
00:30:12No overthinking.
00:30:13Yeah?
00:30:14Just do whatever you feel like.
00:30:18Okay.
00:30:18I feel like getting to know you.
00:30:22Tell me about yourself.
00:30:24Uh, I'm a pretty simple guy.
00:30:2725 years in the Marines, and I like my coffee black.
00:30:31Thank you for your service.
00:30:34I own two pairs of shoes.
00:30:36I own my own construction company, never been married.
00:30:38Therefore, no kids.
00:30:41Are you seeing anyone?
00:30:42Nah.
00:30:43I mean, I've dated here and there, but...
00:30:47Uh, when I was overseas, I just moved around too much, and now that I'm back here, well,
00:30:53I just kind of focus on work and volunteering at the church.
00:30:56Come on.
00:30:57I can't believe you've never been in a serious relationship.
00:30:59You know, why would you say that?
00:31:02Well, I mean, look at you.
00:31:05You've clearly got your act together.
00:31:07Retired military with your own company, who's had an incredible year, by the way.
00:31:10Not to mention your good looks and charm, and...
00:31:15I'm just...
00:31:16I'm just saying that you're a catch, obviously.
00:31:19Like, objectively.
00:31:19There was someone once.
00:31:29Yeah, she was everything I'd ever wanted.
00:31:32It was love at first sight.
00:31:35She was warm and caring and beautiful.
00:31:36Oh, and she had these eyes.
00:31:40It's...
00:31:41Felt like you could get lost in them.
00:31:44Whenever you talked to her, it's the way she looked at you, the way she listened.
00:31:49You just knew that you had every ounce of her attention.
00:31:53It's like the rest of the world just...
00:31:55disappeared.
00:31:57Like none of it mattered.
00:31:58What happened?
00:32:02I made the biggest mistake of my life.
00:32:05What did you do?
00:32:10Nothing.
00:32:16Did nothing.
00:32:18She was this successful business dynamo.
00:32:21Just a world of possibilities ahead of her.
00:32:24And I did not want her to stop pursuing her dreams, you know,
00:32:28just to follow me around.
00:32:31But I've come to realize that that wasn't just my decision to make.
00:32:35Did you stay friends?
00:32:37I hurt her pretty bad.
00:32:42Biggest regret of my life.
00:32:46Maybe it could still work out somehow.
00:32:48Someday.
00:32:49If it was meant to be.
00:32:54I guess this is the part of the conversation where I would reciprocate.
00:32:58I would tell you about my first love.
00:33:01My biggest regrets.
00:33:03But I don't remember any of them.
00:33:08I don't even remember if I've ever been in love.
00:33:11Are you kidding?
00:33:15Catch like you?
00:33:26This little beauty is going to hang right there.
00:33:30That's beautiful.
00:33:31I just needed to clear the dust on the gear,
00:33:35adjust the comb, and then polish her up.
00:33:38You know a lot about music boxes.
00:33:40I love antiques.
00:33:42Each one tells a story.
00:33:44Full of memories.
00:33:46Well, I'm a little short on those.
00:33:49Maybe I should go to an antique store.
00:33:51I could spend all day in those places.
00:33:53But my attic is full of them.
00:33:55I'm pretty sure my grandparents never threw anything out the entire time they lived here.
00:33:59Wait, your grandparents lived here?
00:34:01Like here, at this inn?
00:34:04A lot of history in these walls.
00:34:07But it's time to let it go.
00:34:09Brooke helps us.
00:34:10Does bookkeeping.
00:34:11But Gail's ready to retire.
00:34:12I can handle maintenance, storm prep, backup generator, you name it.
00:34:18But that leaves Gail to deal with guests and marketing.
00:34:22And we inherited our big account that left town.
00:34:25What do we know about drumming up business for a space this size?
00:34:29Imagine that's a full-time job in itself.
00:34:34My Gail.
00:34:36She just loves to bake and garden.
00:34:39So you're doing this for her?
00:34:43Yeah, I just want her to spend her time doing what she loves.
00:34:49She's lucky to have you.
00:35:04Hey, there you are.
00:35:06You seem quiet at dinner.
00:35:07Thought maybe you headed to bed early.
00:35:09I read that puzzles are good for the brain.
00:35:11I saw this on the shelf and I thought, maybe it'll help.
00:35:17You open to some company?
00:35:18Sure.
00:35:18I'll be honest, I'm not really great at puzzles, but you know what?
00:35:26I think I'm just going to find that one right there.
00:35:28I really like this room.
00:35:33Yeah, it's nice, huh?
00:35:35The parlor room.
00:35:36Parents closed it earlier this year as part of downsizing.
00:35:40I wondered why it was a little dusty.
00:35:42It's so cool, though.
00:35:44I mean, we should polish this up for the fire, too, right?
00:35:47Yeah.
00:35:51What is it?
00:35:53Nothing.
00:35:55You don't want to sell, do you?
00:35:56No, really, no.
00:36:02This place has been in my family forever.
00:36:04And why have we been fixing it up so this buyer will love it?
00:36:07Well, because decorating was therapeutic for you, and I want to see you feeling better.
00:36:12And to be honest, I was having fun with you.
00:36:14I mean, that's sweet, but I don't think your parents want to sell either.
00:36:20I know, right?
00:36:20I was surprised to see them sign.
00:36:22There's got to be a way to make this place successful.
00:36:25I agree.
00:36:26It couldn't be that hard to find new clients to hold events in a gorgeous place like this?
00:36:30I wonder if there's a way out of the sale.
00:36:33Do you think the buyer's reasonable?
00:36:36Yeah, I'd like to think that she is.
00:36:38What's her name?
00:36:40I don't remember her name.
00:36:41Uh, I mean...
00:36:42You know what?
00:36:43I don't even want to know her name.
00:36:43Who buys a family in at Christmas time anyway?
00:36:47Let's just call her the Grinch.
00:36:50The Grinch?
00:36:51I...
00:36:52No, I don't think she'd like to be called the Grinch.
00:36:54Calling her the Grinch makes me happy.
00:36:55Aren't you supposed to keep me peaceful and happy?
00:36:57I mean, you said it.
00:36:58The Grinch it is.
00:36:59Maybe in the spirit of Christmas, this Grinch will reconsider buying.
00:37:03When she sees how important it is to all of you.
00:37:07I think we can soften her heart.
00:37:08Don't you?
00:37:12Sure like to try.
00:37:13Hey.
00:37:24Morning.
00:37:25Morning.
00:37:26You're up early.
00:37:27Well, Marie never retires.
00:37:29Yeah.
00:37:30Hey, uh, so you've been working pretty hard, right?
00:37:33To get the inn ready to sell.
00:37:35Yeah, I guess.
00:37:36Yeah.
00:37:37Right.
00:37:37It's just a little bit strange, though, don't you think?
00:37:40I mean, literally, you were trying to stop the sale a few days ago, so.
00:37:44I don't know.
00:37:45The doctor said we've got to keep Katie peaceful and happy.
00:37:47Yeah.
00:37:49Peaceful.
00:37:49Right.
00:37:50What's really going on?
00:37:52I've known you my entire life, and I know when something's up.
00:37:57Come on.
00:38:00Okay.
00:38:02You remember the other day how we were talking about my ex-girlfriend from a long, long time ago?
00:38:07Katie?
00:38:07Yeah.
00:38:09Katie.
00:38:10Katie.
00:38:10Katie?
00:38:11Katie.
00:38:12What?
00:38:13No.
00:38:13Wait.
00:38:14Are you saying that this Katie is that Katie?
00:38:17Shh.
00:38:17Yes.
00:38:18What?
00:38:18Well, why didn't you bring her home all those years ago?
00:38:21She's awesome.
00:38:22She is, but she, you know, was about to graduate.
00:38:26I was about to go on deployment.
00:38:28Just figured, what's the point?
00:38:29Oh, right.
00:38:30And now, doctor's order, so we've got to keep her peaceful and stress-free.
00:38:35I got it.
00:38:37Probably something else I should tell you.
00:38:39Oh, no.
00:38:40You know the company that wants to buy the inn?
00:38:42Yeah.
00:38:43She works for them.
00:38:46Well, that's good.
00:38:47Wow, you're a natural.
00:38:49Why, thank you.
00:38:49This is one of our favorite family Christmas traditions.
00:38:52Aunt Gail bakes untold amounts of Christmas cookies, and then we all decorate them.
00:38:56And usually, we serve untold amounts of Christmas cookies to the guests.
00:39:00However, this year, well, I guess we'll just have to eat them all.
00:39:03That sounds like a challenge.
00:39:05Oh, you're on.
00:39:06We started this when Ron and I inherited the inn.
00:39:09What was it?
00:39:1033, 34 years ago?
00:39:12This Christmas will be 35 years.
00:39:15Now you said your grandparents lived here.
00:39:17They built this place.
00:39:19What?
00:39:19My grandfather was a successful railroad contractor who knew the value of building near the line.
00:39:25My grandmother was in hospitality.
00:39:27When the boom hit, it brought in investors and city folks who were looking for a place to impress their colleagues.
00:39:35My grandparents had this vision of a seasonal mountain hotel, not only for the investors and their fancy parties,
00:39:43but family run and a wonderful place for people to come spend the Christmas holidays.
00:39:48And that's how we got the name the Merry Mountain Inn.
00:39:52And they opened it, wow, well, it was 100 years ago.
00:39:57Not exactly 100 years.
00:39:59Oh, yes.
00:40:00Yeah.
00:40:01What?
00:40:02Well, we should celebrate.
00:40:04100 years doesn't come along every day.
00:40:08I mean, I'm in.
00:40:09We could serve the cookies.
00:40:11Good.
00:40:12And Emmett, you could wear your sharp uniform.
00:40:15Mom.
00:40:15Please.
00:40:18I'll think about it.
00:40:23Wait a minute.
00:40:24Did the Grinch know about this?
00:40:28Oh, um, sorry.
00:40:30Last night, Emmett and I were talking about your buyer, and I referred to her as the Grinch.
00:40:34If we could somehow show the Grinch, the hundred-year-old history of this place, how it's steeped in family tradition, and how important it is to you guys, and not just you, probably the community as well.
00:40:48Well, oh, I'm sorry, it's not my place.
00:40:53No, keep it going.
00:40:54I want to hear it.
00:40:57I thought you wanted to sell.
00:41:00Well, I know it's time for us to slow down and relax, and you know I'd do anything for you.
00:41:05For me, I don't want to slow down.
00:41:07I mean, you keep talking about how hard it is to keep this in going.
00:41:10Well, it is, but I wasn't kidding when I said I could help.
00:41:13Uh, I wasn't kidding either.
00:41:16Brooke, you said that your company's restructuring, right?
00:41:19Yeah.
00:41:20Is there a world where you work here full-time?
00:41:24I mean, you could be in charge of reception, welcoming guests, even bringing in new business.
00:41:28You're just so charming and friendly, I feel like you'd be a natural saleswoman.
00:41:31Really?
00:41:32Yeah.
00:41:32And, Ron, you love antiques and history.
00:41:35What if you could take guests on tours to show them historical sites around town, like your favorite antique shops?
00:41:40Sounds like fun, yeah.
00:41:42Gail, there's not one thing you brought to the table that I did not love.
00:41:46What if you could bake full-time and offer baking lessons, even gardening lessons?
00:41:50Oh, I like that.
00:41:52I like that.
00:41:52As I mentioned, I don't want to brag, but I can fix anything.
00:41:55I can be here to help any time of day, okay?
00:41:59And to be honest with you, I'm way better at fixing stuff than decorating these cookies.
00:42:07So, this could work.
00:42:09Yeah.
00:42:09I like it, right?
00:42:10Yeah.
00:42:11Yeah.
00:42:11This is good.
00:42:12Uh-huh.
00:42:15I know how to stop the Grinch.
00:42:16This is how we get the Grinch to agree to cancel the sale.
00:42:23We make this parlor a tribute to your family's legacy.
00:42:26And how do you propose to do that?
00:42:28Well, imagine these walls filled with historical facts about the inn and pictures of your great-grandparents.
00:42:33She'll see it has to stay in your family.
00:42:35Do you have news clippings and photos somewhere?
00:42:37We do.
00:42:38There's plenty in the attic.
00:42:40Great.
00:42:40I do wish this room had some place for, like, a social gathering.
00:42:44Maybe a bar?
00:42:47If only we knew someone who could build us one.
00:42:51I might know a guy.
00:42:53Sign me up.
00:42:55Can we actually do this?
00:42:57I mean, the meeting's in four days.
00:42:59I can complete the bar by tomorrow.
00:43:01Wow.
00:43:02Really?
00:43:04Wow.
00:43:04Before the Grinch even comes, we can have our hundred-year celebration in here.
00:43:08We'll call it the Merry Mountain Christmas Centennial.
00:43:10We'll keep it simple.
00:43:11I'll have, like, hot cider and cocoa at the bar, cookies, lots of cookies.
00:43:17We'll play fun Christmas music.
00:43:19It'll be dessert and dancing in the parlor.
00:43:20And all surrounded by your family's legacy.
00:43:23We'll get the support of the community.
00:43:25Maybe we'll even drum up some new business.
00:43:27Well, I have a photographer I know.
00:43:29I could have them come take pictures of the inn during the party.
00:43:32I could post them on our website.
00:43:34I bet people are going to want to get married here, too, and they see how beautiful it is.
00:43:37Are we actually going to do this?
00:43:41Well, I'm in if you're in.
00:43:42I'm in if you're in.
00:43:43I'm in if you're in and you're in.
00:43:45All right.
00:43:46I think we're all in.
00:43:48All right.
00:43:48Do you want to go to town for some party supplies?
00:43:50Yeah.
00:43:51Okay.
00:43:51Let's go.
00:43:52See ya.
00:43:52I think she's gone.
00:44:00Right.
00:44:04Thanks for taking a break from building the bar.
00:44:07Yeah.
00:44:08Here we are.
00:44:10Wow.
00:44:12Your dad wasn't kidding.
00:44:14His grandparents saved everything.
00:44:17Yeah.
00:44:18I guess I'll have to clear all this out if it sells.
00:44:25Yeah.
00:44:25I guess so.
00:44:31So is it okay to just open boxes and whatever?
00:44:35Go for it.
00:44:35Okay.
00:44:36Have fun.
00:44:40Oh, no way.
00:44:46Whoa.
00:44:48Look at this.
00:44:50Oh, that was my mother's grandparents' Bible.
00:44:53Yeah?
00:44:54Yeah, I remember this when I was a kid.
00:44:56Wow.
00:44:57Ooh.
00:44:58Look at the size of that thing.
00:45:01That is cool.
00:45:02There's like things in it.
00:45:05Whoa.
00:45:091919?
00:45:12What?
00:45:13Tokens of Christmas?
00:45:14I didn't realize it dated all the way back till then.
00:45:19Okay.
00:45:19I mean, this was a family tradition of ours since before I can remember.
00:45:22But 1919?
00:45:24Okay.
00:45:24That's old.
00:45:24Hey, what is it?
00:45:34I just...
00:45:35I don't remember if I go to church.
00:45:40Or...
00:45:42Like, do I pray?
00:45:45Am I good at it?
00:45:46You know, my mom always used to say that when you're praying to God, it's not always about
00:46:00the talking.
00:46:03It's more about the listening.
00:46:04And you seem like a pretty good listener to me.
00:46:10I do?
00:46:12Yeah.
00:46:13You do.
00:46:22You know what?
00:46:22This service is actually tomorrow night.
00:46:25Would you like to come?
00:46:26I'll have to check my busy schedule.
00:46:31I'm not sure.
00:46:31I don't know.
00:46:32Okay.
00:46:35I'd love to.
00:46:37Really?
00:46:39Yeah.
00:46:41Okay.
00:46:43Well, let's keep treasure hunting.
00:46:46I love these photos.
00:46:51So great.
00:46:55This is such great stuff.
00:46:58Oh, my goodness.
00:47:02Are you kidding me?
00:47:04What do you got?
00:47:05This is an article from when the inn first opened.
00:47:09I am going to put this in a frame next to pictures of your great-grandparents.
00:47:13Yes.
00:47:14I think you should do it.
00:47:16Oh, my goodness.
00:47:22This is a hotel guest book.
00:47:25There are entries in here from the 20s and 30s.
00:47:27We are definitely putting this on display, too.
00:47:30Done.
00:47:31Hey, you know what?
00:47:31I think my dad and I could fix this up.
00:47:34And maybe these skis, put them up like in the parlor.
00:47:37That's perfect.
00:47:38Okay.
00:47:40I wonder if I do restorations or something like that.
00:47:44I just feel like this is connecting me to who I am.
00:47:48Oh.
00:47:54You okay?
00:47:55Yeah.
00:47:57Yeah, that was weird.
00:47:58It was like a little headache.
00:48:01You sure you're fine?
00:48:02Yeah.
00:48:03No, I was just...
00:48:05It's like I was starting to remember something, and...
00:48:08Okay, well, I mean, we can take a break, grab a water.
00:48:10No, no, I'm fine.
00:48:11I'm good.
00:48:12I'm good.
00:48:12Just...
00:48:13Maybe I'm not ready to remember who I am.
00:48:19Hey.
00:48:21Just take your time.
00:48:23No rush.
00:48:23You know what I think I need?
00:48:29More Christmas decoration therapy.
00:48:32Okay.
00:48:33Done.
00:48:39Pretty cozy, right?
00:48:41It's perfect.
00:48:42Perfect.
00:48:42I believe I have discovered something else about myself.
00:48:51Really?
00:48:52What is it?
00:48:53I love s'mores.
00:48:56And fireplaces, and this.
00:49:00All of this.
00:49:02Well, all this suits you.
00:49:04What if I never get my memory back?
00:49:13Hey, don't say that.
00:49:14You will.
00:49:15You think so?
00:49:16Yeah, I do.
00:49:18Just let it play out.
00:49:19Don't put so much pressure on yourself.
00:49:21But it's frustrating.
00:49:22Like, I don't know how to move forward if I don't know my past.
00:49:26Does that make sense?
00:49:28Yeah.
00:49:32Okay, well, think of it like this.
00:49:34Right?
00:49:35I mean, everyone out in the world is always trying to live in the present moment.
00:49:38Okay?
00:49:39Except you, Katie.
00:49:41Well, you, uh, you can't be burdened, right?
00:49:44With regrets from the past, worries about the future.
00:49:48I mean, you literally have to live in the moment.
00:49:49You have no choice.
00:49:51I guess I got that going for me.
00:49:55But I don't know who I am.
00:49:59I know who you are.
00:50:02You do?
00:50:04Yeah.
00:50:05I do.
00:50:07You're kind.
00:50:09You're caring.
00:50:10You're helpful.
00:50:12I mean, whenever anyone's around you, you make them feel good.
00:50:16Look who you are.
00:50:18It's not just a collection of your memories.
00:50:20How did you do that?
00:50:24Do what?
00:50:27Make it somehow better.
00:50:36Katie, you're going to be just fine.
00:50:39Okay?
00:50:39I may not know who I am, but I know how I feel when I'm with you.
00:50:47Uh, we have another big day tomorrow.
00:51:10Yes.
00:51:12Um, so, um, goodnight, Katie.
00:51:15Goodnight.
00:51:15It's okay.
00:51:28Morning.
00:51:33Morning.
00:51:34Thought I'd get started on this counter, but then I realized...
00:51:37That I had to bring the drill back.
00:51:38Go.
00:51:41You okay?
00:51:43How long you been here?
00:51:44Not long.
00:51:47Maybe a while.
00:51:49You know I can finish the kitchen myself, right?
00:51:52What are you talking about?
00:51:53Just with everything going on in your life.
00:51:56Is this where you should be?
00:51:57Where else should I be?
00:52:00Amen.
00:52:07Yeah.
00:52:08You're right, I don't know what my problem is.
00:52:09I know exactly where I should be.
00:52:28Hey.
00:52:29Hey.
00:52:30Missed you at breakfast.
00:52:32Look, Katie, we need to talk.
00:52:41Last night.
00:52:48It was a mistake.
00:52:51I'm so sorry.
00:52:52Wow.
00:52:55Okay.
00:52:57Look, the doctor says that you're fragile right now, and I just think that maybe throwing
00:53:03a relationship into the mix isn't a good idea right now.
00:53:07Plus, when you get your memories back, things could change, right?
00:53:11I mean, you might remember things that change how you feel, right?
00:53:17And for all we know, you might have feelings for someone else.
00:53:25I hadn't thought of that.
00:53:27Yeah, so I'm just saying, like, maybe we don't go down a road that might have a cliff at the
00:53:33end of it.
00:53:34Oh.
00:53:35You know, maybe we just hold off.
00:53:37Like, just...
00:53:39Just for now.
00:53:43Okay.
00:53:43How about some therapy?
00:53:54You mean...
00:53:55Decorating?
00:53:56Yeah.
00:53:57Yeah, you know, is there any other kind?
00:54:00Well, we do have a big event to prepare for.
00:54:04Yes, we do.
00:54:07Look at that.
00:54:08Oh, I love it.
00:54:09That's perfect.
00:54:10We'll see you then.
00:54:12We just got our first booking in January.
00:54:16Excellent.
00:54:17We haven't even had the party yet.
00:54:19Well, my hairdresser's sister's cousin.
00:54:22She has an online Bible study, and I told her all about the parlor and the family Bible.
00:54:27Well, we got our banners.
00:54:29Nice work, cuz.
00:54:31Good as new.
00:54:33My grandma's smiling somewhere right now.
00:54:35She loved this clock.
00:54:37Hey, guys, look.
00:54:39Coming soon, the Mary Mountain and Activity Center,
00:54:41where we bring you into our family traditions
00:54:44and offer treasured experiences that celebrate the inn's rich history.
00:54:48The buyer will know this place has to stay with you guys.
00:54:51I'm sure of it.
00:54:52Yeah.
00:54:53I don't think I've ever seen this place look so good.
00:55:04I can't thank you enough.
00:55:06Well, it's all Katie.
00:55:07I'm just following orders.
00:55:09It's a smart move, son.
00:55:11I've been doing the same with your mom since the day we met.
00:55:14You and Katie seem to really hit it off.
00:55:18Seems like you guys have known each other forever.
00:55:21Yeah, that's probably because there's some history there.
00:55:24What are you talking about?
00:55:28You remember Katie?
00:55:30From a long time ago?
00:55:31The one I broke up with right before I deployed to Germany?
00:55:34No.
00:55:36I remember you talking about her.
00:55:38You feel hard for her, as I recall.
00:55:40Yeah.
00:55:42Same Katie, who also happens to be the buyer.
00:55:46The buyer?
00:55:47Of our inn?
00:55:50Yep.
00:55:52Well, I'll be.
00:55:54Yeah.
00:55:55Does your mother know about this?
00:55:57No.
00:55:58I haven't found a way to tell her yet.
00:56:00Brooke knows.
00:56:01You know.
00:56:03Well, if it's any easier, I can talk to her and explain things.
00:56:07She always figured you two would end up together.
00:56:09She always said you were happiest when you were dating that girl.
00:56:13Yeah, everyone seemed to see that except for me.
00:56:17Yeah, it might not be too late.
00:56:20I see the way she looks at you.
00:56:47Do you want to grab a seat?
00:56:50Yeah.
00:56:53We are tokens of Christmas.
00:56:54Oh, thank you.
00:57:13Take one.
00:57:14They all say something different on them.
00:57:15I got joy.
00:57:21Oh, look.
00:57:22I almost got in love.
00:57:30Merry Christmas.
00:57:31Hey, what's up, Greg?
00:57:32Hey.
00:57:33Hey, Katie.
00:57:33This is Greg.
00:57:34Greg, Katie.
00:57:35That's my business partner.
00:57:36This is his wife.
00:57:37Nice to meet you.
00:57:37It's good to see you both.
00:57:39Early birds like us.
00:57:41It's my favorite service of the year.
00:57:42It's always about forgiveness.
00:57:44A message worth hearing every time.
00:57:48Yeah.
00:57:48Hmm.
00:57:51Oh.
00:57:51This is why we come early.
00:57:57I know this song.
00:57:59I love this song.
00:58:00Oh, holy night.
00:58:08The stars are brightly shining.
00:58:12It is the night of our dear Savior's birth.
00:58:22Long lay the world in sin and ever pining.
00:58:31I think I almost remembered.
00:58:33I am so close.
00:58:35Dear Katie, if you're reading this letter, then you finally know the truth.
00:59:00The truth I've been keeping from you because I honestly believed it was best for your health.
00:59:05Not to be trapped with someone you never wanted to see again.
00:59:10I made the biggest mistake of my life when I gave up on us.
00:59:14That's clear now.
00:59:17This has been the best week of my life.
00:59:21And no matter what happens, I will always treasure this time we've had together.
00:59:26I love you, Katie.
00:59:28With all my heart.
00:59:32Amen.
00:59:35Oh, yes.
00:59:50Okay, so I've been inviting some corporate folks to the party.
00:59:53I mean, you never know, right?
00:59:54Maybe they're looking for an event space or a place to hold a company retreat or something.
00:59:59That's great.
00:59:59Like that, right?
01:00:00Hold on a second.
01:00:01The sale won't go through if it's Katie, right?
01:00:03No, I mean, even if she doesn't get her memory back, the company could still buy it, right?
01:00:07Which means we're not off the hook yet.
01:00:08That's true.
01:00:09I just can't believe it's...
01:00:12You know...
01:00:13Mom, you...
01:00:13She's...
01:00:14No, no.
01:00:16We're not going to talk about that, right?
01:00:17So when she walks in, you just say, good morning.
01:00:20Good morning.
01:00:20Oh, Katie.
01:00:21Hello.
01:00:21Oh, Katie.
01:00:22Good morning.
01:00:22Hello.
01:00:23Hi.
01:00:23Katie's here.
01:00:24Good morning, everyone.
01:00:26We were just talking about you before you came down.
01:00:29Yeah, we were.
01:00:30Dad was just actually saying how much he appreciated how we decorated the parlor.
01:00:36Oh.
01:00:36And I said, it's like the two of you have known each other forever.
01:00:40Mm-hmm.
01:00:41I actually feel the same way.
01:00:43Mm-hmm.
01:00:44Are you okay?
01:00:48Yeah.
01:00:49I'm fine.
01:00:50It's good.
01:00:50Okay, good.
01:00:51It's good.
01:00:52Good.
01:00:53Okay.
01:00:54Great.
01:00:54So I was thinking, tonight at the party, we should all keep our eyes open, not just for
01:00:58potential corporate clients, but also in case there's anything we should do or fix before
01:01:02the Grinch comes in a couple days.
01:01:04Yeah, it's a great idea.
01:01:05Absolutely.
01:01:05So smart.
01:01:06It's a good idea.
01:01:07It feels right.
01:01:08Mm-hmm.
01:01:08Right?
01:01:09Yes.
01:01:09Yeah.
01:01:11Any other thoughts on what we should do to prepare?
01:01:14Um.
01:01:15Um.
01:01:15Maybe she won't even show up.
01:01:17You know what?
01:01:18Right?
01:01:18The holidays, they're just a, they're a really terrible time for meetings.
01:01:21Really just awful.
01:01:22She might forget.
01:01:24I forget all the time.
01:01:25You do.
01:01:26You do.
01:01:26Yeah.
01:01:26And she might be going out of town for business.
01:01:30You, another town doing business, different business.
01:01:35Pass the hash browns?
01:01:36Sure.
01:01:36Yeah.
01:01:37We got fruit.
01:01:38You want fruit?
01:01:38Bacon?
01:01:39Hash browns?
01:01:39Yeah, please.
01:01:40Yeah.
01:01:40Yeah.
01:01:40You want juice?
01:01:41You got orange juice, apple juice, cranberry juice.
01:01:44Vitals are looking normal.
01:01:46Whatever you've been doing, keep doing it.
01:01:49No need to be overly cautious.
01:01:51She's stronger now.
01:01:52That's great.
01:01:53Um.
01:01:54Will my memory return soon?
01:01:56I've gotten a couple of flashes here and there, but that's it so far, and it's been almost a week.
01:02:02Everyone's different, and even after physically recovering, some patients harbor emotional blocks, and the memory takes its time.
01:02:10Oh, okay.
01:02:11Keep making new memories.
01:02:13Let this run its course.
01:02:15You're in good hands here.
01:02:17Yes, I am.
01:02:18There were candy canes and jingling chimes, Christmas in the good old times, when the snow fell down and a fireplace blaze, Christmas in the open days,
01:02:39frozen candles, heartfelt cards, even brighter look for stars.
01:02:45You can sing along to carols and rinds, Christmas in the good old times, let's remember.
01:02:53Enjoy.
01:02:54There's more coming.
01:02:57Look at you.
01:03:02All right, the hot water heater is fixed forever.
01:03:07Well, you're a life saver, sweetie.
01:03:09Listen, I gotta get more cookies out there.
01:03:11The first tray's already gone.
01:03:13Hey, uh, have you seen Katie?
01:03:14I think she's still getting dressed.
01:03:17She's been working so hard.
01:03:19I said to take her time.
01:03:21You look so handsome.
01:03:23She's gonna love it.
01:03:25Well, I wore this for you, Mom.
01:03:33Those are my grandfathers, early 1920s, right about the time he and my grandmother were opening to Marymount.
01:03:39Being here is like taking a trip back in time.
01:03:41It really is.
01:03:42Hey, Emmen, say hi to Jeff and Jessica.
01:03:45How's it going?
01:03:45Hey.
01:03:46Hi, nice to meet you.
01:03:47Oh, nice to meet you.
01:03:48Emmen is following in my father's footsteps.
01:03:50Dad served in Korea, so I am a proud son and father.
01:03:54Thank you for your service.
01:03:55You know, we organize quarterly events for the Veterans Association across town.
01:03:59This will be a perfect venue.
01:04:02That's a great idea.
01:04:03It's an older crowd, and they love nostalgia.
01:04:05Well, we'd love to be considered.
01:04:07Yeah, and speaking of nostalgia, perhaps my father can show them around town to all the old antique shops.
01:04:11I'd like to enjoy that.
01:04:13Sounds great.
01:04:14We'll definitely be in touch.
01:04:15This place is spectacular.
01:04:17Yeah, it's kind of nice to bring the past into the present, you know?
01:04:21Well, it's a pleasure to meet you both.
01:04:23I'm going to duck out.
01:04:24Okay, see you.
01:04:25It's funny.
01:04:26I thought I read in the paper that you guys are selling the inn.
01:04:29Well, that story's still unfolding.
01:04:31You look beautiful.
01:04:59Oh, my gosh, they're going to be perfect for the website.
01:05:18Oh, when you get a chance, can you go take a couple of the front entrants as well, too?
01:05:22Thank you so much.
01:05:23I appreciate it.
01:05:26Freshly baked.
01:05:27Oh, my Aunt Gail bakes all of the desserts herself right here.
01:05:30And you can sign up for her baking classes if you want to.
01:05:35I'll see you later.
01:05:36It's going so great.
01:05:37Just asked me about coming here for a staycation.
01:05:40Aunt Gail, that's wonderful.
01:05:42Oh, it's a staycation.
01:05:44Seems like this party is working.
01:05:46I think so.
01:05:47Hey, can I get you a drink?
01:05:48Not yet.
01:05:51Let's dance.
01:05:52Oh, you know I can't dance.
01:05:53What?
01:05:54It's okay.
01:05:55Do you remember the timing?
01:05:57I just can't dance.
01:06:06Everybody can slow dance.
01:06:08Have yourself a merry little Christmas.
01:06:21Let your heart be light.
01:06:27From now on, our troubles will be out of sight.
01:06:48I'm out of problem.
01:06:48I'll clean up.
01:06:49You guys have a good night.
01:06:50Get some rest.
01:06:53I'd call that a success.
01:06:54Absolutely.
01:06:55Absolutely.
01:06:57Emmett, can we talk?
01:07:03Yeah, sure thing.
01:07:05I had such an amazing time with you tonight.
01:07:08Yeah, me too.
01:07:12You know, the doctor said I'm stronger now.
01:07:16And you've been so wonderful and protective of me.
01:07:20But I don't think we need to treat me like I'm so fragile anymore.
01:07:24Unless you don't feel the same way.
01:07:28No, I do.
01:07:30You do?
01:07:31Yeah.
01:07:35Then what is it?
01:07:38I know I don't know anything, but in my gut, I don't believe there's some boyfriend out there waiting for me.
01:07:43He would have sent a search party by now.
01:07:44I'm so tired of waiting to find out who I am.
01:07:54I just...
01:07:55I want to start fresh.
01:07:59With you.
01:08:00I want to tell you something.
01:08:10Okay?
01:08:11Okay?
01:08:11In fact, I've got to show you something.
01:08:13Okay?
01:08:14Okay?
01:08:14I'll just...
01:08:15Just be a minute.
01:08:16I'll just...
01:08:17Okay?
01:08:39I'll just...
01:08:42Kate Stone.
01:08:51He says that he's the son of the Millers who were selling the Merry Mountain Inn.
01:08:55Emmett Miller?
01:09:03Hi.
01:09:04Hey.
01:09:05What should we call you, dear?
01:09:07What about Katie?
01:09:09But I don't know who I am.
01:09:13I know who you are.
01:09:15You do?
01:09:16I do.
01:09:31I'm the Grinch.
01:09:34That's who I am.
01:09:37Huh.
01:09:37Katie, no.
01:09:38Well, Kate, but, yeah, that's my name.
01:09:43Of course, you knew that.
01:09:44The whole time.
01:09:46Didn't you?
01:09:48Did they all know?
01:09:49Katie, I felt that it was what was best for you.
01:09:54To lie to me?
01:09:55No.
01:09:55It was never like that.
01:09:58I'll call my assistant first thing in the morning and be out of your way.
01:10:00Okay.
01:10:03How could you let me fall in love with you?
01:10:05I...
01:10:05I...
01:10:17I...
01:10:17I...
01:10:21Oh, my God.
01:10:51Oh, my God.
01:11:21Oh, my God.
01:11:23Taking off early?
01:11:24I need to get back to the office.
01:11:30Don't lose what you gained here.
01:11:34Remember, sweetheart.
01:11:35We're only human, doing the best we can.
01:11:44For when you're ready.
01:11:48I don't know what he wrote, but I know it's from the heart.
01:11:51No, no, I don't think I could...
01:11:53You could throw it away.
01:11:57But please...
01:11:59Take it.
01:12:02Please.
01:12:08Thank you for helping us.
01:12:12Thank you for taking care of me.
01:12:29Mel, is that car rental?
01:12:31Yes, please.
01:12:31Oh, I'm there.
01:12:41Go!
01:12:42Bye.
01:12:43Bye.
01:13:43Okay, we look forward to seeing you too.
01:14:01Merry Christmas.
01:14:02I've got the antique radio working.
01:14:09Hi, honey.
01:14:10How was everything at church?
01:14:12Hey.
01:14:12Oh, yeah.
01:14:12It's good.
01:14:13Yeah.
01:14:13All done.
01:14:14Ready to serve the community.
01:14:16It must feel good.
01:14:17Yeah.
01:14:17Another email reservation.
01:14:22Yes.
01:14:25Another one?
01:14:26No, this one's from Katie.
01:14:28What's it say?
01:14:30She canceled the escrow.
01:14:33That's good.
01:14:35That's good, right?
01:14:37Yeah.
01:14:37That's what we wanted.
01:14:39Got the end back.
01:14:42Emmett.
01:14:42Yeah, no, it's fine, Mom.
01:14:43I'm just going to grab some air.
01:14:45Kate?
01:15:09No.
01:15:10Please.
01:15:11I should have known you'd be here.
01:15:13Showing up when no one else is around.
01:15:15Shows me a lot about your character.
01:15:17Thank you, sir.
01:15:19Is that how things go at the end?
01:15:21Could it be close?
01:15:23They had a change of heart.
01:15:25It didn't seem right to push it through.
01:15:27Well, that's too bad.
01:15:29Well, I'm off to a family dinner.
01:15:31So don't stay too late, huh?
01:15:33It's Christmas.
01:15:35Ah, it's all right.
01:15:40You know, it took me a lot of years to realize something.
01:15:45I love my job.
01:15:47I live for this place.
01:15:50But, you know, taking a moment to reflect on your success with the people you love,
01:15:56that's the real success.
01:16:02Sir, if I wanted to get away or work remotely from time to time,
01:16:09is that something you'd be open to?
01:16:11Well, I wouldn't say this for just anyone.
01:16:14But I have to believe that the new head of our distressed properties division
01:16:19would succeed wherever she works.
01:16:22Thank you, sir.
01:16:24Merry Christmas, Kate.
01:16:25Merry Christmas.
01:16:26Merry Christmas.
01:16:26Merry Christmas.
01:16:56Oh, my God.
01:17:26Oh, my God.
01:17:56Oh, my God.
01:18:26Oh, my God.
01:18:56Oh, my God.
01:19:26Oh, my God.
01:19:28Exactly.
01:19:30You're welcome.
01:19:34Night.
01:19:36Somewhere in here.
01:20:02Oh, my goodness.

01:20:20Oh, holy night, the stars are brightly shining.
01:20:45It is the night of our dear Savior's birth
01:20:53Long lay the world in sin and error pining
01:21:04Till He appeared and the soul felt its worth
01:21:15Good morning
01:21:23Good morning to you
01:21:247 a.m. What have you been up for?
01:21:26Three hours now?
01:21:28Yeah
01:21:28Hey, uh, second pot of coffee's on if you guys want any
01:21:31You know us so well
01:21:32Merry Christmas Eve, family
01:21:33Merry Christmas Eve, you guys
01:21:35Merry Christmas
01:21:36Hey, listen, uh, I'm gonna head downtown, okay?
01:21:39I just, I need to see Katie
01:21:41All right, I'm gonna try
01:21:42Yeah, you might not have to
01:21:44I don't think those pancakes are gonna flip themselves, so
01:21:47You'd have to wrap a present
01:21:48Yeah, look at the time
01:21:50Okay
01:21:53Hi
01:21:54Katie
01:21:57I mean, Kate
01:22:00Katie's okay
01:22:01Look, I am so sorry for everything, okay?
01:22:07I'm sorry for making the decision for both of us all those years ago
01:22:10And for doubting you
01:22:11And for doubting us
01:22:12And
01:22:13In this past week
01:22:14I mean, honestly, I wanted to tell you everything, okay?
01:22:17I just
01:22:17Even with all of my memories back
01:22:19I still know this week was
01:22:22One of the best weeks of my life
01:22:23Why would you apologize for that?
01:22:29So
01:22:29Does that mean you
01:22:31Forgive me?
01:22:35You were doing your best
01:22:36Look, I was thinking that maybe when I get the end, you know, back up on its feet
01:22:45I could open another location with my construction company a little closer to the city
01:22:49Em, it's tough
01:22:50I want to be here
01:22:53Really?
01:22:55Yeah
01:22:55I
01:22:57I like who I am
01:22:59Here
01:22:59With you
01:23:02I'm so glad you read that letter
01:23:07I didn't read the letter
01:23:11Then why?
01:23:16Are you kidding?
01:23:17A catch like you?
01:23:23Merry Christmas, Katie
01:23:24Merry Christmas
01:23:27Merry Christmas
01:23:39Merry Christmas
01:23:40Merry Christmas

01:23:52Laughter heard in the fallen snow
01:23:56Your hand in mine feels like a sign
01:24:02That home's not walls
01:24:06But your heart next to mine
01:24:11All those years I hope to find a place to...
