00:00My mom ripped my dad's heart out.
00:02It's mom.
00:03It's all in the past.
00:04This is Patrick, the brilliant brand guru.
00:07Penny's posh pies.
00:08All right, you get out.
00:09I'm not a project.
00:10It's over.
00:11You know, maybe talking to her ex kind of stirred up some stuff.
00:14What do you mean talking to her ex?
00:15Oliver.
00:16Oliver.
00:17Sarah was the ex.
00:18Oh, do you want it?
00:20Would you want to maybe get coffee tomorrow?
00:23Thanks for taking me home.
00:25It was a gentlemanly thing to do.
00:26I have impeccable timing.
00:30Mom?
00:39Sure.
00:40Yes.
00:41A yacht in the Mediterranean sounds far more exciting than Christmas with your daughter.
00:47I'm kidding, Mom.
00:52I'll see you in New Year's.
00:55All right.
00:56We gotta go.
00:58Yeah.
00:59Merry Christmas.
01:00Don't be too angry, darling.
01:06Don't let it spoil everything.
01:07You love Christmas.
01:08Even though it's gonna be a bit different.
01:09Why aren't you more angry at her?
01:14You know, when two people fall in love and get married, there are no guarantees.
01:19She wanted to move on.
01:21I had to let her.
01:22But she's not supposed to move on from me, Dad.
01:28Come on.
01:29Give me a hand with the decorations.
01:30Norris sent this little trinket for your tree.
01:34Of course, he wanted me to be starved again this year for the holiday.
01:38But I said if my darling daughter can't come to me, then I will go straight to her.
01:44And yet it didn't occur to you to send a text first?
01:47Well, where's the point in that?
01:49Oh, my God.
01:50Oh, my God.
01:51Oh, my God.
01:52So here I am.
01:54In Blacksford.
01:57Charming place.
01:59So many sheets.
02:01You know, honey, you didn't have to send that handsome man away last night.
02:05Well, believe it or not, my mother showing up was actually kind of a buzzkill.
02:10Now, if you'll excuse me.
02:11Oh, sorry.
02:12I have to go.
02:13Oh, I just got here.
02:15Yeah, I understand that, but I have work and other commitments, so.
02:18Like what?
02:19Just things.
02:20Stuff.
02:20Boring things.
02:21Boring stuff.
02:22Maybe you should take a walk around Blacksford, see the sights, especially considering you've
02:26never been here before, even though your daughter lives here.
02:28Darling, when you've seen one quaint English village, you have seen them all.
02:33But don't you worry about me.
02:35I shall stay busy.
02:36Yes, I'm sure you will.
02:41I think that's pretty possible.
02:43Yeah.
02:44Oh, well, looky here what the cat dragged in.
02:47Yes, I know that we're not in the best place right now, but we have a very urgent issue.
02:50Well, it doesn't sound like much of an apology.
02:52Marion, I'm sorry in sight.
02:54I am sorry.
02:54I am very sorry.
02:56I thought that I was being respectful of you and your relationship by staying out of
03:01it, but I can see that I really hurt you, and that's the last thing that I would ever
03:05want.
03:06And you, I know that your enthusiasm about my personal life comes from a good place,
03:12and you only want what's best for me, and I took out all my frustrations on you, and
03:16I'm the worst person that's ever lived in the whole world, and you're the best person
03:20that's ever lived in the whole world, but please, can you forgive me now, because I really
03:24need your help with something?
03:26Fine, you're forgiven, you silly sausage.
03:27All right, bygones, what's the emergency?
03:30My?
03:30Good morning!
03:33Delilah!
03:34Oh, Laura, it's been too long since our New Year's in Central Bay.
03:40And you haven't aged a bit, which is criminal.
03:42Oh, you must be calm.
03:45I've heard a lot about you.
03:47Likewise.
03:47It's good to finally meet you.
03:51Kate didn't tell us you were coming.
03:53Oh, I surprised her.
03:54Oh, Kate loves surprises.
03:55Oh, so do I.
03:58And you can imagine how tickled I was to see my darling daughter kissing a handsome man
04:03on her stoop last night.
04:05Richard.
04:06All righty, I think that's my cue.
04:08Have a great day, guys.
04:09Try the pies.
04:10They're great.
04:11Catherine.
04:11Do you have an opinion on this, Richard?
04:17I mean, I try not to get involved in Kate's love life.
04:20Oh, that's interesting.
04:22Is it?
04:24Immensely.
04:25Well, this is exciting!
04:27You'll have to give me his surname and date of birth.
04:29For the background check.
04:31Have to find out if he's been naughty or nice.
04:32Well, we know he's been naughty, but I hope that bit was nice.
04:34Okay, you were successful.
04:35I am out of my comfort zone.
04:37And now that I'm here, I have to navigate it my way.
04:40All right, so let's just skip the background checks, the unsolicited advice, the side chats
04:44with Drew.
04:45But I talk to Drew all the time now.
04:47That's great.
04:47I love that for you.
04:48Just don't talk about me.
04:50Okay?
04:50And I promise I will still give you all the juiciest deets of my dates.
04:53Okay?
04:54Okay, fine.
04:55Okay, I love you.
04:56You're a psycho.
04:56I have a date now.
04:57Bye-bye.
04:59Don't forget about the Richard details.
05:01You just said blow-by-blow account, okay?
05:02So call me later?
05:16My mother says hi.
05:19You learn a lot about a person when you meet their parents.
05:22You're here.
05:23Are you my date eighth?
05:25Sadly, no.
05:25I just finished mine, actually.
05:27Oh?
05:28Is it weird to talk about this stuff?
05:30You know, like dating other people after last night?
05:34I mean, I know it's part of the deal.
05:36No.
05:38Maybe.
05:39It is a little weird, but I don't really have a choice.
05:41I need to do all 12 days for the odds.
05:43Mmm.
05:44Can't have you pulling the plug halfway through, huh?
05:47Nope.
05:48Have to see where the story leads me.
05:50Right.
05:50Stop ogling me as I walk away.
06:03Welcome to date number eight.
06:06It's not very romantic, is it?
06:09No.
06:09That's because it's a date with yourself.
06:15A chance to connect with the most important person in your love life.
06:20You...
06:21Your canvas.
06:24Now, pick your poison.
06:27Mmm.
06:27Premium surprise.
06:30Mmm.
06:30Okay.
06:33Describe the first person who broke your heart.
06:39No.
06:41No.
06:42Oh, come on!
06:43I'm sorry to disappoint you, but I don't have some big life-defining heartbreak.
06:47It could be anyone.
06:49A friend.
06:51A mentor.
06:52A parent.
06:57Felicia, you saucy minx.
07:02There you are.
07:03Good God!
07:05Your door was open.
07:07What are you doing here?
07:08Where's Kate?
07:09I found this in the kitchen.
07:11She tried to warn you.
07:12Well, I don't know how to use this thing anyway.
07:18Romance?
07:19It's for a book club.
07:21A book club?
07:22I guess time really does change a man.
07:25You know I was the inspiration for this series.
07:28I'd think about it twice if I were you before I read the sequel.
07:31What are you doing here?
07:32Wait.
07:34Another marriage.
07:36Another divorce?
07:37On the run from Interpol?
07:40I'm just visiting.
07:43I haven't seen you since what?
07:44Kate's graduation?
07:46Sounds about right.
07:47You know, when she said that you were close, I didn't realize she meant you were literally
07:54next door.
07:55It's like you're living in each other's pockets.
07:57Perfectly comfortable for us.
07:59Is that what I think it is?
08:04Don't.
08:06Oh, Mac.
08:08It's just like the one we rode across the States that summer.
08:12Oh, such good memories.
08:14We had fun, didn't we?
08:19I've got to start locking that door.
08:26Okay, let's not avoid this anymore.
08:28How are you feeling on the break up front?
08:30Is this where I pull my heart out?
08:31We have a good cry.
08:33That would be my preference, yeah.
08:35Well, I feel like a right idiot for throwing everyone out the pop-up.
08:40But I also wonder if Sarah and I should have been together in the first place.
08:44Oh, come on.
08:45She was lovely and physically perfect in every way.
08:48Okay, look at it this way.
08:50Being single at Christmas is brilliant.
08:52No expensive gifts.
08:54No obligatory visits to her weird family.
08:56No arguments over Christmas music.
08:59So I'm coming out ahead.
09:00Yeah, exactly.
09:02What's that?
09:03The 13 dates of Christmas.
09:12That's a shorty imitation.
09:14I'm going to go tell Drew about this fraudulent flim-flam of forthwith.
09:20You're going to be all right, Cal.
09:21So, yeah.
09:29I think I can sum this up pretty easily for you.
09:32I am a child of divorce.
09:34The kind where the mother just decides to quit parenting altogether in favor of frivolous adventures.
09:40So, I learned pretty early on that no matter how many times people tell you that they love you, you still can't trust them.
09:49So, yeah.
09:49You think that makes finding somebody pretty difficult?
09:52Yes, of course.
09:54That was rhetorical.
09:55But the point is, is that I like to keep things light, you know, unless it's really the real deal.
10:01And personally, I think that my coping mechanism is my superpower.
10:06Because otherwise, I would have lost it on my mother a long time ago.
10:09Well, then I think you're going to be very happy with what's next.
10:24All of this was headed to the dark last Boxing Day.
10:29So, let's turn this holiday rubbish into something more productive, shall we?
11:09To move forward in the present, you need to address the past.
11:22You have to tell your mom how you feel.
11:24I don't think so.
11:27Love requires honesty, Kate.
11:29If she doesn't know how you feel, nothing can change between you.
11:34Do it, Kate.
11:36Destroy the old way of doing things.
11:38Break through.
11:51Nah.
11:53Just make things worse.
11:55But this was good.
11:57I feel better.
11:59Thanks.
11:59So, did you all have a chance to finish it?
12:10I hope you did.
12:11Did you like it, really?
12:13Oh, good.
12:15It's quite a...
12:16Can I join?
12:18You want to join the nits?
12:21Do you even knit?
12:22No, not yet.
12:24But I have read the book.
12:25It's a bit crap, isn't it?
12:26Do you have to buy the next one just to find out who set fire to the villa during their honeymoon?
12:30The jealous ballena.
12:32Oh, right.
12:34Thanks for the spoiler.
12:34Well, everyone, I think we have a new knit-in.
12:40Make that, too.
12:42Please, God, no.
12:43I am Delilah, Max, ex-wife.
12:47And everything that you have heard about me is probably absolutely true.
12:52Mrs. Talbott loved her tartan.
13:11That looks like a nervous breakdown.
13:14What do you mean?
13:15No, it's got movement and vitality.
13:19It's angry.
13:21Aggressive.
13:22Filled with tension, like a cobra ready to strike.
13:27Might work on upholstery.
13:29Or bed linens.
13:31Perhaps a furious pillow.
13:41And that's when the prince told me he'd renounce his title to stay with me in Cappadocia.
13:48And did he do it?
13:49Oh, no.
13:50I called it off the next day.
13:52There was too much at stake.
13:55Geopolitically.
13:55Fascinating, truly.
13:59So, now, does anyone have anything you want to say about the ending?
14:03Well, I thought it was quite complicated, actually.
14:07Was I supposed to know the jockey had an identical twin?
14:10Well, you know, I thought that myself.
14:12It sounds like you two are on the same page.
14:13It sounds like you two are on the same page.
14:15Don't start.
14:15It was stranded outside Brighton last week.
14:19Stuck out in the elements.
14:21They barely made it back.
14:22It's absolute rubbish.
14:24The car broke down.
14:25It got fixed.
14:26We came home.
14:27That's it.
14:27Oh, I thought you had an argument.
14:30No, not really.
14:31And spent the night at an inn?
14:33That sounds like classic enemies to lovers territory to me.
14:38That is my favourite trope.
14:41And now his ex arrives.
14:43That's a plot twist.
14:45Enough.
14:46Enough.
14:48Mac and I, we're not a characters romance novel.
14:54Look, I mean, does anybody have anything they want to talk about on the actual book?
15:04No?
15:07Well, it's meeting's adjourned, then.
15:09So, what book are we doing next week?
15:15When do I learn to knit?
15:17You really want to be part of a romance book club with women who knit hats that no one will ever wear?
15:24You're probably right.
15:27Never really was my thing anyway, was it?
15:39Laura!
15:49Laura!
15:51What's the emergency?
15:52Is it Kate?
15:53Date number eight was tough.
15:55The 13 dates of Christmas.
15:57What is this?
15:58A cheap copy of your genius concept.
16:01There's only one Christmas Cupid round here, and that's you.
16:04Which is what I told them when I contacted them.
16:06They folded like a card table, getting out of the matchmaking game altogether.
16:10That's what the threat of a trademark infringement lawsuit will do.
16:13Honestly, it's the most fun I've had as a solicitor in years.
16:17Laura, thank you.
16:19What's wrong?
16:20Does anyone else you want me to go after?
16:22I'm happy to oblige.
16:23No, but the venue for date number nine has fallen through.
16:26I've contacted our backups, but the hedge maze has a weevil infestation, and the hot air balloon sprung a leak.
16:33I'm at a loss, and I can't cancel, because people's hearts are on the line.
16:39I know a place.
16:41Huh. Date eight.
16:42Yeah, I was half expecting Drew to bill me for therapy.
16:46You have to trust the process, as Drew always says.
16:50So?
16:52I, uh, I liked seeing you today.
16:55As did I.
16:57Do you have any plans tomorrow?
16:58I have my annual Christmas tea with my dad in Covent Garden, but, um, I think I got Spirits of Christmas for date nine.
17:06What did you get?
17:07I have something with a sled, I think.
17:09We have the worst luck.
17:10Did you get my gift?
17:13No, I don't think that I did.
17:15Oh, my God.
17:16Uh, yeah.
17:17I'm looking at it.
17:20Open it.
17:22Okay.
17:22I'm opening it now.
17:27Oh.
17:28It's beautiful.
17:29It's not bad.
17:31It's mistletoe.
17:32So whenever you wear it, I have an excuse to kiss you.
17:35Not that we've ever needed an excuse.
17:37Oh, my baby girl has a crush.
17:39Oh, my gosh.
17:41Hey, uh, I have to go.
17:43My mom is hyperventilating.
17:45But, um, thank you for the gift.
17:47And I will talk to you soon.
17:50Okay.
17:51Hope you next time.
17:52Okay, bye.
17:53I have been waiting for this day for ages.
17:56Tell me everything.
17:58Wish I could, but gee, look at the time.
18:00Big day tomorrow.
18:01Let's go ahead and...
18:03I...
18:03Yeah.
18:04Get off.
18:05One cup of cocoa.
18:07Oh, wish I could.
18:07Just can't.
18:08Go on out of there.
18:09Close it on up.
18:13Oh, boy.
18:13I have an exciting business opportunity.
18:21No.
18:22You haven't even heard what it is yet.
18:23I don't need to.
18:26Drew is desperate for a venue for date number nine and the pear tree...
18:30No, you saw it happen at the pop-up.
18:32No more events.
18:32No more business opportunities.
18:35Kate?
18:35Yes.
18:36Tell Callum that date number nine should be here at the pear tree.
18:39Hmm.
18:40That's actually a really good idea, because then you could be my date.
18:43Or your date?
18:44I mean, not my date.
18:45Not like that.
18:47Kate, I sound disgusted.
18:48I'm not that bad.
18:49No, I just mean I'm supposed to bring a single friend to be an option for other daters.
18:54Brilliant.
18:54Then it's sorted.
18:55I didn't say yes.
18:56Back in ye oldie days, your mum threw parties here all the time.
18:59Maybe we should give the guy a break.
19:01Ah!
19:02You're just hoping that Drew has to cancel date nine.
19:05That's true.
19:05But also, look, he doesn't want to do it.
19:08Fine.
19:08I'll do it.
19:10You owe me big time.
19:11How thrilling.
19:12It's a shame a courtyard's such a mess.
19:13Would have made a great romantic venue.
19:15Come on, Kate.
19:18Crumbled like a cookie.
19:29It was a lovely service.
19:57Kate.
20:00I didn't see you there.
20:03That's just what people always say in the movies.
20:08What I wanted to say was,
20:11I'm sorry your mum died.
20:15She was really cool and nice, and I just, I wish I...
20:20So, you haven't, uh, told me much about your trip to Brighton.
20:46I haven't.
20:49Well, I went to Brighton.
20:53Overnight?
20:55With Evelyn.
20:55I'm just saying.
20:57I know it was two rooms, but, you know,
20:59simply stating the facts.
21:03Shall we talk about the gentleman caller
21:05who's been hanging around your place?
21:06Your mother certainly made quite an impression in town yesterday.
21:16She knows how to make an entrance.
21:17And a mess.
21:19Yeah, when she decides to show up, that is.
21:24She's not staying for Christmas, is she?
21:25Oh, I highly doubt it.
21:28Blacksford is going to bore her senseless.
21:29I mean, come on.
21:31She was not going to stick around.
21:32We know how she is.
21:33You know, I think,
21:43since this is your first Christmas in England,
21:46that you and I
21:46should make our own new traditions.
21:53But first, my dear,
21:54you must learn to embrace
21:56your heritage.
21:58I know how to drink tea.
22:04I'm sure.
22:05But did you know
22:05that it's always sugar before milk?
22:07I know.
22:08Any other way would be just ludicrous.
22:11But it's all going in the same place.
22:13Who cares what order you put it in?
22:15We do.
22:16See, a good English,
22:17well, traditional English tea
22:20is all about good arguments.
22:22For instance,
22:23what would you call that?
22:25A scone?
22:26Oh.
22:27You see,
22:28in this country,
22:28people will fight you to the death
22:30on whether it's pronounced scone or scone.
22:34It's a scone.
22:35Shh.
22:36The great pronunciation is scone.
22:39Now, you're new to the homelands,
22:40so we will forgive you your trespasses,
22:42but don't you dare challenge me
22:43on whether it's the cream or the jam.
22:44Come first on your scone.
22:46Kingdoms have been won and lost
22:48over such important distinctions.
22:59Love this place.
23:00Love this tradition.
23:02Wouldn't miss it for the world.
23:03That's a bold statement
23:04for a man who was recently in traction.
23:06Um, Tucker.
23:07Ah, I hope you don't mind.
23:09We've already seated your third.
23:14Mum,
23:19how did you even...
23:20Oh.
23:21You know I have my ways.
23:23Hi.
23:30You were a little hard on Mac yesterday.
23:33Excuse me.
23:35Going with you to the cliffs,
23:36doing Latin aerobics,
23:37reading that ridiculous book.
23:39Seems like he's making a big effort
23:41to get to know you,
23:41and you're sending a message to back off.
23:44Oh, God, I don't know, Callum.
23:50I love my life now.
23:51I'm used to being alone.
23:54I've had a lot to work through.
23:56I'm just not sure I want to see it all
23:58turned upside down.
23:59Putting yourself out there is hard.
24:01It's worth it.
24:03How do you know that?
24:05Well, I put myself out there, Clintie.
24:07Sarah, the pop-up.
24:09Well, not with everyone.
24:10We know who we mean.
24:12I mean, her name is not Sarah.
24:13Evelyn, come on.
24:14I know what I know, what I see.
24:18So don't go spouting off about how
24:20putting yourself out there is hard but worth it.
24:24Because we both know
24:26that you're avoiding exactly that.
24:28Well, this is a fun little tradition.
24:43It was.
24:44Hey.
24:45Just because your mother showed up
24:46without any consideration for our feelings
24:48doesn't mean we should abandon our manners.
24:50No, no.
24:51Our girl tells it like it is.
24:53Nothing wrong with that.
24:54It reminds me of the time
24:55when she got kicked out of swim class
24:57for refusing to swim in the deep end.
24:59Didn't the instructor call her
25:01an insubordinate?
25:03Sorry, you would have preferred
25:04I just trusted a guy in sandals
25:06with a man bun to keep me from drowning?
25:08He was Greek, darling.
25:10Oh, I don't have room for the scone.
25:14Do you remember when we took her
25:15to the Museum of Modern Art
25:16and she tried to call the police?
25:18Because she was convinced
25:20that Van Gogh was a forgery
25:21and no one could tell her she was wrong.
25:23Okay, you guys don't get it.
25:24There was a brush stroke discrepancy.
25:28I stand by that.
25:29The real one's still out there.
25:30You'll see.
25:34I haven't thought about that for a long time.
25:36Listen, we made it through
25:39her middle school years.
25:40That makes us war buddies.
25:43Okay, my turn.
25:45My turn.
25:45My fun memory is that
25:47this is the place that Dad took me
25:49when we had our first Christmas
25:50as a family of two
25:51because you decided to leave us.
25:53Yeah.
25:54It was a really tough time, obviously,
25:55but he made it special
25:56and fun for me, so.
26:03I think we should probably get the check.
26:06Mark, have you started work on the bike yet?
26:13Oh, gosh.
26:13I'd love a ride.
26:15He's selling the bike.
26:17Eventually.
26:18He still needs those repairs, you know.
26:20But you love that bike.
26:22Yeah, but it's dangerous
26:23and he's not young anymore, so.
26:26I'm right here.
26:27You can't actually tell me
26:29that you're considering
26:30ever riding that bike again, Dad.
26:32You were in a serious accident.
26:33All the more reason to get back on,
26:35conquer your fear.
26:36Well, who said I was scared?
26:38You see, your father's
26:39a very capable driver.
26:41He can decide for himself.
26:44Okay.
26:45Sorry.
26:45That's enough.
26:46You don't get to just come here
26:47and tell us how we should
26:49or shouldn't be living our lives.
26:51You're not here.
26:52You're not a part of this,
26:53and we're just fine without you.
26:56Kate.
26:56No, Dad.
26:57I'm not going to pretend
26:57that this is normal anymore.
27:00I mean, I'm serious.
27:02Like, if I want to move forward
27:04into the present,
27:05I have to address the past.
27:08Oh, come on.
27:09Let's go and celebrate
27:11the magic of the season elsewhere.
27:14And by the way,
27:15it's pronounced Skan.
27:16I don't know what else
27:26you expected, though.
27:32No, no, no.
27:32I've got this.
27:33Hmm.
27:39Mm-mm.
27:39Mm-mm.
27:39Mm-mm.
27:41Sorry.
27:58It's okay.
28:00Let her get to me.
28:01Again.
28:03It's a complicated relationship.
28:07You don't have to forgive her,
28:09you know?
28:09Well, you seem to have
28:12let her off the hook entirely.
28:15It's funny we just slipped back
28:16into being your parents.
28:19I haven't shared that proud feeling
28:21with someone in a long time.
28:23But I tell you,
28:24it's a heck of a lot easier
28:25to tolerate her now
28:26that we're not married.
28:28And you've got to remember,
28:29she gave me the greatest gift
28:30of my life.
28:33Oh, ma.
28:33Mm-mm.
28:36Well, just cool it
28:38with all the kindness stuff,
28:39would you?
28:39I'm trying to ignore her
28:41so she goes away.
28:44Is that what you really want?
28:47It's just
28:47so much easier
28:49for me
28:50when she's not here.
28:55I'm just still so
28:56angry with her.
28:59And I feel like it's
29:00her fault
29:01that I don't
29:03trust anybody
29:04when they say
29:05that they care about me
29:06or,
29:06you know,
29:08that when somebody says
29:08they're gonna do something,
29:10I just automatically assume
29:11that I'm gonna be let down.
29:13I just feel
29:14tired of
29:16having to keep
29:18my guard up.
29:20You feel what you feel, Katie.
29:24Just don't let your wheels
29:25spin
29:26so they get
29:26stuck in the mud.
29:27Oh, you clean up nice.
29:45Are you sure
29:46you can really take
29:46this whole night off?
29:47All yours.
29:48Laura's in charge.
29:49And as you know,
29:50she loves
29:51bussing people around.
29:51So that is true.
29:54Oh, I thought
29:55it's every
29:55very light in England.
29:57You know what?
29:58We actually did.
30:06This is crazy.
30:08Welcome
30:08to the spirits
30:09of Christmas.
30:10As you traverse
30:11the globe
30:12sampling cocktails
30:13from around the world,
30:14be sure to meet
30:15some low travelers
30:16on the way.
30:17No offense, Kate,
30:18but the American eggnog,
30:20it's not great.
30:21You're lost.
30:22More for me.
30:23Drew!
30:25Hi!
30:26If you'll excuse me,
30:28I'll have to go
30:29and save the wait star
30:30from Laura
30:31and her delightful intensity.
30:33Chin, chin.
30:34Pan pie.
30:35Slauncher.
30:36Cheers.
30:39Alrighty.
30:40What do you say
30:40we look around
30:41for some attractive
30:42candidates for you
30:43and some attractive
30:44cocktails for me?
30:45Wait, this is your thing.
30:45Why am I looking for a date?
30:46Ugh, because my hands
30:48are kind of full at the moment.
30:49Right, Richard.
30:49Your mom said a lot
30:51about them.
30:52On that note,
30:53these spirits
30:53aren't going to drink
30:54themselves.
30:55Let's go.
31:00Thanks for helping me
31:01pull off this evening.
31:03No problem.
31:04This is so exciting.
31:06It's such a great space.
31:08Why don't they use it?
31:09Honestly,
31:10I don't know.
31:11Callum could clean it up
31:12and use it for events.
31:1412 days next year!
31:15I'm just trying
31:16to get through
31:17this year first.
31:18But I do have to say,
31:20you are good at this.
31:25I am good at this.
31:29Sure you don't want
31:30to try some of this eggnog?
31:31You're missing out.
31:32Yeah, I wholeheartedly disagree.
31:33Hi, how are you?
31:35It's, uh...
31:36What about Teresa?
31:37Huh?
31:38We love her.
31:39She owns her own
31:39dental practice.
31:40You have that wiggly crown.
31:43You guys could be
31:43a match made in heaven.
31:44Yeah, I'd like to make
31:45dentistry and romance.
31:46Mm, smart.
31:48What about...
31:49Ooh, what about Rose?
31:50You see the red sweater?
31:52Yeah, yeah, she's really smart.
31:53She's some kind of, like,
31:54theoretical physicist,
31:55whatever that is.
31:56She also has
31:57incredible cheekbones.
31:58Yeah, I don't know
31:59what we talk about.
32:00Uh, theoretical physics,
32:02obviously.
32:04All right, let's see.
32:05Uh, let's try the
32:08malt liquorful time
32:10of the year.
32:11Oh, no.
32:12Okay, you're right.
32:13That's a headache
32:14waiting to happen.
32:15What about the
32:15mommy-kissed sake claws?
32:17Yeah, speaking of.
32:18Kate?
32:19Excuse me.
32:20Sweetie.
32:21She can't just
32:22give me one day.
32:23Oh, have you two
32:24tried the sugar room
32:26fairy yet?
32:27It has all but
32:28transported me
32:29right back to Barbados.
32:31I wish it actually had.
32:34What, um,
32:35what are you doing here?
32:37It's literally
32:38the only place
32:39in this little hamlet.
32:42I guess I sort of
32:43meant in Lexford,
32:45just because you've
32:46made it so abundantly
32:46clear that you'd rather
32:47be anywhere else
32:48with anyone else.
32:49Hey, easy, Kate.
32:52You canceled New Year's.
32:54Yeah, that wasn't
32:56really an open invitation
32:57for you to come
32:58haunt us like the
32:59ghost of Christmas
33:00can't be bothered
33:00to call or text first.
33:03Truth.
33:05I could always
33:06handle Christmas
33:07with Norris
33:08or whomever,
33:09wherever,
33:10drinking, whatever.
33:11As long as I knew
33:12a few days later
33:13we'd be on
33:14our holiday adventure.
33:16When you canceled
33:17New Year's,
33:18I started to feel
33:19like you would
33:21be just fine
33:22pushing me
33:23out of your life
33:24altogether
33:24and Christmas
33:25felt
33:26empty.
33:30Hmm.
33:34Mom.
33:36Oh.
33:37Okay.
33:39Trying to get out of here?
33:41Because we could just
33:41dip out the back.
33:42Kate,
33:43she's trying.
33:43Don't ignore her
33:45or pretend she didn't
33:46hear her.
33:47Let her in.
33:49Why?
33:50Because I'm sure
33:50she's not here
33:51to hurt you.
33:52But you could
33:53definitely hurt her.
33:56Oh, for God's sake.
33:59Mother?
34:00This is the second time
34:02today, young lady,
34:03that you've walked
34:03away from me.
34:04You are so
34:05dramatic.
34:07Yeah.
34:07Wonder where I get
34:08that from.
34:08So, uh, listen.
34:10Obviously, I
34:12care
34:13about our
34:14relationship.
34:15Really?
34:16Really.
34:17But
34:18I'm kind of
34:19busy at the moment,
34:20so perhaps we could
34:21pick this back up
34:22later at home.
34:23Okay.
34:29Good luck
34:30with the dance.
34:35What?
34:37Okay.
34:38Save it.
34:41Give me that.
34:43All right.
34:43Now let's go get
34:44you a drink, huh?
34:45Pick your poison.
34:48Hmm.
34:49Good choice.
34:50Okay.
34:51Here's the plan.
34:53So we're gonna
34:53walk past that
34:54big group of girls
34:54over there, okay?
34:56And then I
34:56am going to
34:57trip and
34:58sprain my ankle.
35:00Is that really
35:01necessary?
35:01Oh, trust me,
35:02this works every time.
35:04Then you'll come over
35:05and you'll help me up
35:06and, you know,
35:06I'll be like,
35:07oh, thank you,
35:08and you'll be like,
35:08I got you,
35:09and then I'll sit there
35:10just extolling your
35:11virtues.
35:12Oh, my virtues?
35:12Yes, that's right.
35:14You have virtues, okay?
35:17Oh, you don't believe me?
35:18Here.
35:19Here they are.
35:20Let's see.
35:21You are a
35:21small business owner
35:23in this economy.
35:24That's amazing.
35:26You make an
35:27incredible
35:28oxtail soup.
35:29It's a big one.
35:30And you dress
35:32and you dress
35:32like an old
35:34professor,
35:35but some people
35:35are into that.
35:37And let's see,
35:39you surround yourself
35:40with strong,
35:41capable,
35:41funny women.
35:44And you're
35:45a great friend
35:47and a great kisser.
35:50I mean,
35:50you're pretty much
35:51the whole package.
35:52A great kisser?
35:53Well, yeah.
35:55I mean,
35:56it's part of
35:56the sales pitch.
35:58Yeah.
35:59Who can remember?
36:00It was like
36:0015 million years ago.
36:02I can.
36:05I can remember
36:05that kiss.
36:09Kate, tell me,
36:11when did you and I
36:12become a joke?
36:23I know you're
36:24kind of busy
36:24with your ass
36:25without
36:26and I know
36:27I'm around
36:27who'll be
36:28you don't want
36:29to sleep
36:30on Christmas Eve.
36:32But it's amazing
36:33and I bet the chick
36:35will bring me back
36:35my baby
36:36because every time
36:38I see Christmas lights
36:40will be what it's like.
36:41I mean,
36:43he never knew
36:43what hit him.
36:44He deserved it.
36:46Love actually
36:46isn't just a movie.
36:48It's a reflection of...
36:49I was the year
36:50I knew the bad
36:52it was so rough.
36:53It's a reality
36:53of society.
36:56Since we found out
36:58Since we found out
37:00That anything could happen
37:02Anything could happen
37:05Anything could happen
37:07Anything could happen
37:09Anything could happen
37:12Anything.
37:13Anything.
37:13Hey, I love you.
37:31I love this song, too.
37:34I'll be right back.
37:43It's a great party, girl.
37:46Right, thank you.
37:51Oh, sorry.
37:52Oh, dear.
38:13Will you stop avoiding me and answer the question?
38:23Fine.
38:24How about the fact that you told me that you loved me,
38:27and then five seconds later, you were making out with someone else?
38:32I knew you heard me.
38:41I'm locked out.
38:42Kate won't give me a key.
38:47I wouldn't, either.
38:53Tea?
38:58Some things never change.
39:01A lot of things do.
39:05So,
39:06I think
39:10I made progress with Kate tonight.
39:15That's good.
39:17Okay.
39:18And I'm sure you also must have some thoughts that you've been sitting on for 15 years.
39:32Like,
39:32I ran out on you.
39:35I'm unreliable.
39:37And I only date men with yards.
39:41Come on.
39:44Macintosh.
39:46Let me have it.
39:48Just don't hurt our daughter again.
39:58Look,
40:10Callum, it's fine.
40:12It's fine that you didn't mean it.
40:14I mean,
40:14we were kids.
40:16How do you know I didn't mean it?
40:18How do you know that, Kate?
40:19Well,
40:20what else was I supposed to think?
40:22I mean,
40:23you backtracked almost immediately.
40:25I had to laugh it off.
40:27Okay.
40:29Then,
40:30let me set the record straight.
40:33Okay.
40:33Let me set the record straight away.
41:03Let me set the record straight away.
41:06And I kiss you.
41:09It's not a joke.
41:33Let me set the record straight away.
41:34Let me set the record straight away.
41:35Let me set the record straight away.
41:36Let me set the record straight away.
41:37Let me set the record straight away.
41:38Let me set the record straight away.
41:39Let me set the record straight away.
41:40Let me set the record straight away.
41:41Let me set the record straight away.
41:42Let me set the record straight away.
41:43Let me set the record straight away.
41:44Let me set the record straight away.
41:45Let me set the record straight away.
41:46Let me set the record straight away.
41:47Let me set the record straight away.
41:48Let me set the record straight away.
41:49Let me set the record straight away.
41:50Let me set the record straight away.
41:51Let me set the record straight away.
41:52Let me set the record straight away.
41:53Let me set the record straight away.
41:54Let me set the record straight away.
