00:00:01You getting this out?
00:00:03Oh, good choice.
00:00:04Is it recorded?
00:00:05It's for your sister.
00:00:07That's it.
00:00:08Rip and tape.
00:00:09There you go.
00:00:10A host?
00:00:11No, that was my bad.
00:00:13Oh, you go, girl.
00:00:14You've got this.
00:00:15My glow.
00:00:16Oh, look at that.
00:00:18Oh, honey, get you.
00:00:20What is it, too sweet?
00:00:22What is it?
00:00:23What is it?
00:00:24A camera thing?
00:00:26Oh, a camera.
00:00:28A picture is worth a thousand words.
00:00:32Imagine all the stories you can tell now.
00:00:37Merry Christmas, Faith.
00:00:41I can't believe her reports videos still.
00:00:43It's the coolest camera ever.
00:00:46Smile.
00:00:47Merry Christmas, Faith.
00:00:48Merry Christmas.
00:00:50I'm the lightiest man in the world.
00:00:52Yes.
00:00:53Merry Christmas.
00:00:58Ready?
00:00:59Ready?
00:01:00Ready?
00:01:01Okay.
00:01:06Oh, wait.
00:01:07We forgot.
00:01:08Oh, would you be a girl?
00:01:10Of course.
00:01:17Everyone say Merry Christmas.
00:01:19Merry Christmas.
00:01:21On Christmas.
00:01:28On Christmas.
00:01:30On Christmas.
00:01:31A wonderful time to be with you.
00:01:32It's Christmas.
00:01:34Let's go.
00:02:04Whoa, Kel.
00:02:10Babe, what are you doing?
00:02:12What am I doing?
00:02:14What was your plan?
00:02:15Attack an intruder with the spirit of Christmas?
00:02:17Why are you breaking into my apartment?
00:02:19Well, technically, it's my apartment, too, and I can't break into my own home.
00:02:23Well, technically, you'd have to spend more than five minutes here to call it your apartment.
00:02:27I didn't want to wake you up in the middle of the night and scare you.
00:02:30I couldn't find my key here.
00:02:32Solid plan.
00:02:33By the way, that onesie's a walk-in' jump scare.
00:02:37It's festive.
00:02:38Oh, no.
00:02:39I'm having a Bridget Jones moment.
00:02:42I finally realize Jim's not the one, that he'd rather spend Christmas alone in a cabin
00:02:47creating archaeological digest despite his incessant breadcrumbing.
00:02:51What?
00:02:52No.
00:02:53Jim and I have an agreement.
00:02:55We like our independence and time apart because it works for how busy we are.
00:03:00Okay, we broke up.
00:03:03Happy?
00:03:04Happy?
00:03:04You did?
00:03:05I'm sorry, Kels.
00:03:07It's fine.
00:03:08I don't want to talk about it.
00:03:09Okay.
00:03:10Fine.
00:03:12Fine.
00:03:13Are you going to get that?
00:03:19Get what?
00:03:21Wait.
00:03:21I thought that you were spending the night upstate at Ben's parents' place.
00:03:26Oh, yeah.
00:03:26I came back for the emergency meeting.
00:03:28What?
00:03:29Emergency meeting?
00:03:30The one with Grandma's lawyer?
00:03:31That's not an emergency.
00:03:33Henry just asked if we could come into his office.
00:03:35He said it was time-sensitive and about the will.
00:03:39Do you think we have a long-lost sibling?
00:03:42Maybe someone who lived down south.
00:03:44By the way, we just got that camper van totally decked out.
00:03:47Solar panels, infrared sauna, flushable toilet.
00:03:50I'm glad you have your priorities straight.
00:03:52There is no bigger priority than a flushable toilet.
00:03:56What's this?
00:03:57Oh, I was making a video for Graham at Christmas.
00:04:01I thought it would be nice to send to everyone who came to the celebration of life.
00:04:05Oh, I love that picture of Alice.
00:04:09And I love you too.
00:04:11She would have loved this.
00:04:13It's not going to be the same here without her.
00:04:17I take it you'll be spending Christmas in Florida?
00:04:19Yeah, we're going to try to take the week off after Christmas and relax before we get swamped with new clients.
00:04:25You know how everyone makes a New Year's resolution to start yoga.
00:04:29Well, not everyone.
00:04:32Well, I was thinking, since it's been a while, maybe we could spend Christmas together.
00:04:38Really?
00:04:39You should come to Miami!
00:04:42Oh, that would be so fun!
00:04:43No, I meant here.
00:04:46Like we used to.
00:04:47Well, we've done that a million times.
00:04:49You should change it up.
00:04:50Get out of the city for once.
00:04:52I kind of have to stay.
00:04:53The magazine needs me to shoot an event on the 24th.
00:04:56They want you to work on Christmas Eve?
00:04:57That's so lame.
00:04:59Tell them to get someone else to do it.
00:05:00Great career advice.
00:05:02Hey, no, you know what?
00:05:03I'm serious.
00:05:04I mean, you've just been saying that you want to quit anyway.
00:05:08You want to go out.
00:05:09You want to go on your own adventures instead of just photographing other people's.
00:05:13Yes, and eventually, if I keep proving myself, they're going to let me pitch my own story soon.
00:05:18Good luck with that.
00:05:19Well, it is nice that you can set off any time you want and do downward dog on a mountain or whatever.
00:05:26But I, like most people, have a regular job.
00:05:29Don't get mad at me because I have a job that doesn't keep me chained to a desk.
00:05:34I'm going to get to sleep.
00:05:36I'll see you in the morning.
00:05:37I'll see you in the morning.
00:05:37I'll see you in the morning.
00:06:07We probably just missed a signature or something.
00:06:24Yeah, you're probably right.
00:06:25Hi, Kelly.
00:06:26I'm your cousin.
00:06:28I've got a...
00:06:28Oh!
00:06:30Fave suit!
00:06:31Leave this on my desk, please.
00:06:33No, I don't want it!
00:06:35Here, give it to me!
00:06:36Sorry, I'm late.
00:06:37Ladies, Kelly, Faith, I know I made it seem like today was going to be fairly boilerplate, but I must admit, this is a tad unusual.
00:06:48I knew it.
00:06:49It's a long-lost sibling, isn't it?
00:06:51Are they contesting the will?
00:06:52Nothing that dramatic.
00:06:54This is more of a last wish from Rebecca.
00:06:57This is Rebecca's travel journal from when she was in her 20s.
00:07:00It details a trip that she and Albert took while they were in Europe.
00:07:05What does this have to do with the will?
00:07:06Did Rebecca tell you about the trip where she and Albert got engaged?
00:07:09Oh, yeah, hundreds of times.
00:07:11She said it was when her life really began.
00:07:14Proposing in the French Alps on Christmas Eve is so romantic.
00:07:17Rebecca has requested that you make the same trip.
00:07:19She wants you to travel to the exact same place as their engagement on Christmas Eve.
00:07:25Are you serious?
00:07:29Now, Rebecca didn't specify why, only that this was very important to her, so one can only assume that will become clearer as you make the journey.
00:07:37But wait, didn't Albert propose at the top of a mountain?
00:07:39Mont Blanc, to be precise.
00:07:41Mont Blanc?
00:07:41As Rebecca's health began to decline, she worked with me to arrange making all of the reservations according to her itinerary contained in that journal.
00:07:51Now, some of it needed to be updated, of course, after all these years, but, uh, yeah, in a nutshell, that's it.
00:07:56Well, this is crazy.
00:07:59It's Christmas Eve next week.
00:08:00She wants us to fly to France and climb a mountain.
00:08:03Now, to help, we've arranged for a local guide to assist you on the trip.
00:08:06His information is in there as well.
00:08:08Well, you don't have to convince me to go to Europe.
00:08:10She can count on us.
00:08:11Glad to hear it, because your flight leaves first thing in the morning.
00:08:14You just need to confirm the accommodations.
00:08:16Ladies, I have a new meeting to attend.
00:08:18Ball shots.
00:08:23Well, Henry wasn't kidding.
00:08:25Two tickets, we leave tomorrow morning.
00:08:28Oh, by the way, I looked up our tour guide.
00:08:30He's super hot.
00:08:31No, thank you.
00:08:32Oh, come on.
00:08:33You know the old adage.
00:08:34The quickest way to get over an axe.
00:08:36Ah, don't finish my sentence.
00:08:37It's to climb to the highest peak in the French Alps.
00:08:40Okay, let's not get ahead of ourselves.
00:08:41I mean, you're acting like we're actually going.
00:08:43What are you talking about?
00:08:44Of course we're going.
00:08:45It's Grandma's final wish.
00:08:46Say, I mean, I don't even know if I can go.
00:08:48This is important.
00:08:49She wants this for us.
00:08:51We owe it to her.
00:08:52I can't go.
00:08:53I'm sorry.
00:08:53It's final.
00:08:54I have work obligations.
00:08:55I can't just set off across the world in a moment's notice.
00:08:58Isn't this what you want to do for your job?
00:09:00You can't write about going on adventures if you never go on them yourself.
00:09:03Be more like Grandma.
00:09:04I think I know Grandma pretty well.
00:09:07I'm not the one that left at 18 to go save the whales in Nepal.
00:09:10Excuse me.
00:09:10It was Patagonia to save the whales.
00:09:12Nepal doesn't have whales and has dolphins, and they're doing just fine.
00:09:16All right.
00:09:17Guess it'll just be me and Frederick.
00:09:19Good.
00:09:20Great.
00:09:21Who's Frederick?
00:09:23This guy right here.
00:09:24Handsome, no?
00:09:25Suppose it'll just be the two of us at the top of a snowy mountain.
00:09:28Hey, can you give me a gingerbread latte?
00:09:31Absolutely not.
00:09:32Coconut milk, please.
00:09:35Okay.
00:09:39Allo?
00:09:40Oh, hi there.
00:09:41May I please speak with Frederick?
00:09:43Oui.
00:09:44Who's speaking?
00:09:45Hi.
00:09:46My name is Faith Green.
00:09:47Ah, yes.
00:09:48Yes, yes.
00:09:49I was expecting your call.
00:09:50Henry said we're supposed to meet tomorrow, yes?
00:09:53To leave Paris for Chamonix.
00:09:55Yes, perfect.
00:09:57Also, sad news.
00:09:58It was supposed to be myself and my sister, but she's failing.
00:10:03This is no problem.
00:10:05I'll see you tomorrow at the Café des Raves, okay?
00:10:08Okay.
00:10:09A demain, bon voyage.
00:10:10Wait, what?
00:10:11What's that you say?
00:10:12About French pastries?
00:10:16Oh, hey, I didn't see you there.
00:10:18Just talk to Frederick.
00:10:20Sounds molto bello.
00:10:22Yeah, that's Italian.
00:10:23You're really not coming?
00:10:25You don't want to go on an exciting, globe-trotting adventure to fulfill our beloved Grandma's
00:10:30final wish?
00:10:31I can't.
00:10:32I'm sorry.
00:10:33I really don't understand you.
00:10:36You were just saying we haven't spent Christmas together in so long.
00:10:39This is the perfect opportunity.
00:10:42Maybe next time.
00:10:43I gotta go.
00:10:44Bye.
00:10:45Thank you for the latte.
00:10:47Mm-hmm.
00:10:47Mm-hmm.
00:10:47Mm-hmm.
00:10:48Mm-hmm.
00:10:49Mm-hmm.
00:10:50Mm-hmm.
00:10:51Mm-hmm.
00:10:52Mm-hmm.
00:10:53Mm-hmm.
00:10:54Mm-hmm.
00:10:55Albert has invited me on a trip to Europe.
00:11:04I know some would call me a fool to follow him to Europe after only dating for six months,
00:11:10but it's like Alan Keller said, life is either a daring adventure or nothing.
00:11:17Morning.
00:11:27Morning.
00:11:28Coffee's on the counter.
00:11:30Oh, thanks.
00:11:31Here you go.
00:11:32I really wish you were coming with me.
00:11:40Yeah.
00:11:44I'm sad I won't be here for Christmas.
00:11:48It'll be fun to do that again sometime.
00:11:51Yeah.
00:11:52It would be nice.
00:11:53Well, anyway, my ride's here.
00:11:55So long.
00:11:56Yeah, I should probably get to work.
00:11:58Yeah.
00:12:00Bye.
00:12:07Merry Christmas.
00:12:10Merry Christmas, babe.
00:12:12Okay.
00:12:13Mm-hmm.
00:12:14Life is either a daring adventure or nothing.
00:12:42JFK, right?
00:12:48Yes, please.
00:12:49Terminal one.
00:12:52Babe!
00:12:53Wait!
00:12:55Babe, wait!
00:12:57Babe!
00:12:58Excuse me.
00:13:00Woo!
00:13:01You know her?
00:13:02Yeah, that's my sister.
00:13:03Should I stop?
00:13:05Babe, watch it!
00:13:06You know what?
00:13:07Let's give her a minute.
00:13:08This is fun.
00:13:10Wait!
00:13:16Okay.
00:13:18Whoa.
00:13:22I'm coming with you.
00:13:24You heard her.
00:13:26We're going to France.
00:13:27Not letting you come to France
00:13:40and not have a croissant.
00:13:41It's a religious experience.
00:13:43Well, at least I can get some caffeine.
00:13:45It's a five and a half hour train ride to Chamonix
00:13:46and I don't want to miss it.
00:13:48Yeah, me too.
00:13:49This kid behind me
00:13:50would not stop keeping my seat on the flight.
00:13:51You know what?
00:13:55Why don't you get us a seat
00:13:56and I'll get us the goods.
00:13:57Okay.
00:14:00Sorry, can I just put those in there?
00:14:02Thanks.
00:14:03All right.
00:14:04Okay.
00:14:06Oh.
00:14:08Oh, wow.
00:14:09It's so pretty.
00:14:11C'est beau, huh?
00:14:14Um, what?
00:14:16I'm saying it's, uh,
00:14:17it's beautiful here.
00:14:19You don't speak French?
00:14:20No.
00:14:21No.
00:14:21Not since high school.
00:14:23Do I know you?
00:14:25Uh, perhaps we've met before,
00:14:26but I doubt it.
00:14:28I think I would remember.
00:14:30May I sit?
00:14:32Oh.
00:14:32You look lonely.
00:14:33Excuse you.
00:14:35I'm Frederic.
00:14:37It's, uh, nice to meet you.
00:14:39Are you hitting on me?
00:14:41Maybe.
00:14:43Why?
00:14:44Is it unwelcome?
00:14:45The better word would be unprofessional.
00:14:47You're supposed to be our tour guide
00:14:48for the next few days.
00:14:50Oh, pardon.
00:14:51Oh, I had no idea.
00:14:53Yeah.
00:14:54Okay, to be fair,
00:14:56you look nothing like your Instagram.
00:14:58I'm the other one.
00:14:59Oh.
00:14:59Kelly.
00:15:00Okay, got it all.
00:15:02Oh, you're making friends already?
00:15:04Yeah, Faith, this is Frederick.
00:15:05Oh, uh, Frederick.
00:15:09Yes, uh, I'm, I'm Faith.
00:15:10Enchanté.
00:15:11Enchanté.
00:15:11Wow, he's even hotter in person.
00:15:14Oh, he's even more obnoxious in person.
00:15:16Really?
00:15:17Mm-hmm.
00:15:17You know what, as much as I would love to stay and chat,
00:15:20we have a train to catch,
00:15:21and I don't trust French time,
00:15:23or trains, or time in general.
00:15:25Well, maybe French time is good for you, huh?
00:15:28To relax and enjoy.
00:15:30I mean, you're on vacation, right?
00:15:32Yes.
00:15:33Oh, no, no, I prefer to stay at a steady level of anxiety
00:15:36when I travel.
00:15:37It's my happy place.
00:15:38Oh, wow.
00:15:41Okay, so, Frederick.
00:15:43Fred.
00:15:44Freddy, can I kill you, Freddy?
00:15:45Yeah, sure.
00:15:46Freddy, so, how do you know my grandma?
00:15:49Well, it is a complicated story,
00:15:51but don't worry, everything will be revealed.
00:15:55Hmm, je t'adore la mystery.
00:15:59Wait, you know what, I don't.
00:16:00Je t'adore la mystery.
00:16:01Would you actually excuse us for just a second?
00:16:03Come on.
00:16:03One second.
00:16:06Do you have a crush on him?
00:16:08No.
00:16:09It's just, it's the opposite, actually.
00:16:11He's almost too charming, all right?
00:16:13And rude.
00:16:14I got some weird vibes.
00:16:15Wait, really?
00:16:16Yeah.
00:16:16He barely said hello before he started flirting with me.
00:16:19Wait, but he's French.
00:16:20Isn't that what they do?
00:16:21I hate to break up the moment,
00:16:22but we should probably head to the train station.
00:16:26You know what?
00:16:27I think we can take it from here.
00:16:29Thank you, Frederick, for your French services.
00:16:32Wait, uh...
00:16:32What she's trying to say is, um,
00:16:34we would love to be able to sit on the train with you
00:16:36and just really get to know you better.
00:16:38Is that possible?
00:16:38Ah, yes, of course.
00:16:39Oh, good.
00:16:40Oh, and I do have something for you.
00:16:42Henry instructed me to hand it over the moment we met.
00:16:44It's a note from your grandmother.
00:16:45But please save it for the train,
00:16:47because it leaves in ten minutes.
00:16:48Okay, and this is why we don't relax and be on French time.
00:16:51Come on.
00:16:52Perhaps your secret meeting had us running late.
00:16:54That was probably right.
00:16:55Great, step it!
00:16:58The journey you're about to take changed my life forever.
00:17:03Albert and I took the best route we could afford.
00:17:06Finally, we arrived at the base of Mont Blanc itself
00:17:10in the charming village of Chamonix.
00:17:12Wow, this is the cutest train station I've ever seen.
00:17:21Where did Fredrick go?
00:17:22Oh, he said he had to stop into the station.
00:17:25Why?
00:17:26You miss him?
00:17:28I mean, do we even need a guide?
00:17:31We're smart.
00:17:32You're absolutely right.
00:17:33Hey, what does that sign say?
00:17:35And also, when we're scaling the enormous snowy mountain,
00:17:41what kind of gear do you think we're going to need?
00:17:45See where I'm going with this?
00:17:47Okay, well, you know what?
00:17:48Fine.
00:17:49As soon as I get another weird vibe, he is out.
00:17:52100%.
00:17:53If he gets creepy, we ditch him.
00:17:55Right.
00:17:56All right, what's on the agenda for today, anyway?
00:17:58Grandma booked us a chalet in town.
00:18:00Just need the address.
00:18:01I cannot wait to wash 12 hours of travel off of me.
00:18:05Wait, didn't you ask to read the journal on the train?
00:18:08Yeah, I did for like a half hour,
00:18:10and then I gave it back to you.
00:18:10Only you didn't give it back to me.
00:18:12Wait, what?
00:18:13I kind of sworn I gave it back to you.
00:18:14What do you mean?
00:18:16Faith, tell me you didn't leave Grandma's journal on the train.
00:18:20I am so sorry.
00:18:22Stop!
00:18:23Adept!
00:18:23Adept, you try to...
00:18:24Wait, it's got to be in here.
00:18:26Adept, Adept, you try to...
00:18:27It's got to be in here.
00:18:29It's in his pocket.
00:18:31You forgot something?
00:18:37Wow, that was close.
00:18:40So I guess you will be needing my French services after all?
00:18:45Uh-huh, yeah.
00:18:46What was that?
00:18:47I couldn't hear.
00:18:48Merci, we will be needing you, your French services.
00:18:53Okay, on y va, let's go.
00:18:54He's like, ah, stop, stop the train!
00:19:01All right, it's official, I'm moving here.
00:19:04Oh, this is adorable.
00:19:05So Chamonix was one of the first places to embrace mountaineering, and it's also the home
00:19:10of Mont Blanc.
00:19:11The summit was first reached in 1786, and ever since it's been attracting adventure seekers.
00:19:16Salut!
00:19:17Bonjour!
00:19:17Friends, yours?
00:19:18No, I gave them a tour last week.
00:19:20Charming and popular.
00:19:21How do you manage?
00:19:22Well, it is natural for me.
00:19:24Oh, wow, so French.
00:19:25What's that?
00:19:27Ah, this is Le Coeur du Sommet Blanc Hotel.
00:19:29It's been a crown jewel of Chamonix since 1855.
00:19:33Wow, shame we're not staying there.
00:19:35It really is incredible.
00:19:36But I'm sure the accommodations your grandma made are really nice, too.
00:19:39Yes.
00:19:40Do you have the address?
00:19:41Do you know where this is?
00:19:43Yeah, yeah, I can take you down now.
00:19:45Oh, great.
00:19:46Yeah.
00:19:46Okay.
00:19:47Let's go.
00:19:47This way?
00:19:48All right.
00:19:59Oh, yeah.
00:20:01This place has grandpa written all over it.
00:20:09Okay, this is cozy.
00:20:12Oh, that fire smells good.
00:20:16Oh, Faith.
00:20:18Look at this.
00:20:26I'll admit this was no grand hotel.
00:20:30However, where you spend your time is infinitely less important than who you spend your time with.
00:20:38So, get cozy.
00:20:40Another note from your grandmother?
00:20:41Yes.
00:20:42I've got a theory, though, that she's just trying to keep us on track.
00:20:45Well, while you were reading, I took a peek in the chalet.
00:20:48And I think you two will be comfortable here.
00:20:51Wait, you're not going to stay here?
00:20:53No, I couldn't impose.
00:20:55My family lives in Saint-Gervais, so I'll just stay there.
00:20:59Great.
00:21:00Saint-Gervais, that's a 45-minute ride.
00:21:01You're not going to go back and forth every day.
00:21:03No, you're staying here.
00:21:05It's not a big deal.
00:21:06I think it's a big enough deal to warrant a discussion.
00:21:10Kelly, what are you doing?
00:21:11What are you doing?
00:21:12Seriously?
00:21:13Why don't you two talk?
00:21:17Huh?
00:21:18I'm going to go take a look out back.
00:21:21Yeah.
00:21:22Check out the stuff.
00:21:24Okay, rude.
00:21:31You just invited a strange man to stay with us in a snowy cabin.
00:21:37This is how true crime podcasts start.
00:21:39You're so dramatic.
00:21:40Listen, first of all, he's not a stranger, okay?
00:21:43Henry knows him.
00:21:44And second of all, what, we were about to climb a mountain alone with him,
00:21:48and that's fine, but staying under the same roof, that's too far.
00:21:51Kelly, come on.
00:21:52This is it.
00:21:53This is the journey, man.
00:21:56Embrace it.
00:21:57And besides, if he turns out to be a psycho, I'll tell him to murder me first.
00:22:03No.
00:22:04Please.
00:22:05There you are.
00:22:07Hey, Freddy.
00:22:09Come on.
00:22:11Come on.
00:22:12Okay.
00:22:14We have discussed it, and we would both like for you to stay here.
00:22:19Right, Kels?
00:22:21Yes, we would.
00:22:22We sure would.
00:22:23So much.
00:22:25Unanimously.
00:22:25Mm-hmm.
00:22:26Okay, then.
00:22:42The next question, I suppose, is what next?
00:22:45Does Rebecca have any plans for us?
00:22:47Yeah, Faith.
00:22:48What does the journal say?
00:22:49Okay, so next, I need to do shopping in Chamonix.
00:22:53Ooh.
00:22:53They both bought a bunch of stuff from the small shops in town.
00:22:56Cute.
00:22:57Ah, oui.
00:22:57The locals have wonderful shops here.
00:23:00Is there anything specific that we must get?
00:23:02Oh, yeah, tons.
00:23:03Cheese, meat, pastries, bread, chocolate.
00:23:07Ooh.
00:23:09Your grandma was very thorough.
00:23:10Oh, we have quite a bit of shopping to do, but I know just the place.
00:23:15All right, we still need cheese and bread.
00:23:29Oh, and a blanket.
00:23:30You know what?
00:23:31I think I see a place over there where I can find a blanket.
00:23:34I'm going to go check it out.
00:23:34Ah, well, we'll come with you.
00:23:36No, no, no.
00:23:36You two, do the rest.
00:23:37I'll see you later.
00:23:38Well, bye.
00:23:39Bye.
00:23:40Okay, I guess we'll get the rest ourselves.
00:23:44I see the cheese shop over there.
00:23:48Any preferences?
00:23:50Oh, I would never tell a Frenchman what cheese to buy.
00:23:54I know we had an awkward stop.
00:23:56I want to apologize if I soured your trip.
00:23:59No, no.
00:24:00I probably overreacted.
00:24:02I was just caught off guard, I think.
00:24:05It's instinct, you know?
00:24:08I see your beautiful women sitting alone.
00:24:11I flirt.
00:24:12Okay.
00:24:14Pepe Le Pew.
00:24:15Does that work for you?
00:24:17Is that your move?
00:24:18Uh, madame, you will know when you see my move.
00:24:23You really are obnoxious, you know that?
00:24:27Yes, yes.
00:24:28Here we are.
00:24:29After you.
00:24:33You know, Paris is wonderful.
00:24:36You should stay longer next time.
00:24:37It's the best city in the world.
00:24:39Yeah, I have spent more than an afternoon here before.
00:24:42And don't get me wrong.
00:24:45It's nice, but it doesn't hold a candle to New York.
00:24:48That is the most ridiculous thing I've ever helped.
00:24:52What?
00:24:52Have you been?
00:24:54No.
00:24:54Okay, well, your opinion doesn't count then, does it?
00:25:01You should be the tourist for once.
00:25:03Let someone else show you around.
00:25:06Are you offering?
00:25:07Sure.
00:25:10When you don't get us killed on the mountain, I'll show you around the city.
00:25:14Okay, I can do that.
00:25:16I found a blanket.
00:25:18Did you all get everything we need?
00:25:19Almost.
00:25:20We just need some more cheese.
00:25:22Oh, good.
00:25:23Excuse me.
00:25:25I can have a big blechon, please.
00:25:27Was I gone long enough?
00:25:28Stop.
00:25:28You stop.
00:25:31So where to next?
00:25:33According to the journal, they stopped for Vansha in the middle of town and listened to Christmas music.
00:25:38Oh, that's sweet.
00:25:39Well, perfect.
00:25:40And not just the place.
00:25:41I love the energy here.
00:26:06I don't know why I was expecting some sleepy little ski town.
00:26:09Oh, no.
00:26:10After skiing, there's nothing the French like more than food, wine, and song.
00:26:15Cheers to that.
00:26:18Santé.
00:26:19Santé.
00:26:23I used to get in trouble here when I was younger.
00:26:27Did you come here a lot as a kid?
00:26:28Oui.
00:26:29I was born in Saint-Gervais, but I would sneak away to Chamonix whenever I could.
00:26:33Then after university, I moved to Paris, and I would come back here every winter.
00:26:37So, my half belongs to the Alps.
00:26:43So, do you still know people around here?
00:26:45Ah, not really.
00:26:46Most of my friends moved on, but a few still remain.
00:26:50Amelie, she grew up next door.
00:26:54We used to play music together.
00:26:57You were in a band?
00:26:59Do you still play?
00:27:01Occasionally, but just for myself.
00:27:03You should get up there and serenade us.
00:27:06Oh, yes, you should get up there right now.
00:27:08Definitely not.
00:27:10Oh.
00:27:10The band had a messy breakup.
00:27:13Oh, let me guess.
00:27:14You anomaly?
00:27:15Well, actually, it was more about...
00:27:18Wait, what happened?
00:27:19You break her heart?
00:27:20Wow.
00:27:25But no.
00:27:27I may be a musician, but I'm not a walking cliche.
00:27:30And I'm loyal.
00:27:32Especially when it comes to love.
00:27:34I'm sorry.
00:27:35I...
00:27:36That came out a little...
00:27:37It's all right.
00:27:40But we did dates.
00:27:42Briefly.
00:27:42I bet you one of you wanted the whole package, right?
00:27:47Marriage, kids, golden doodle.
00:27:51No.
00:27:52It was never that serious.
00:27:54But she had this big dream for the band.
00:27:58Like this whole vision.
00:27:59And I just wasn't into it anymore.
00:28:03My heart wasn't in it.
00:28:05Still, it's sweet you stayed close.
00:28:08Oh, yes, of course.
00:28:08I have a special treat for you.
00:28:22In the audience is a very talented musician.
00:28:26Someone who I played with in another life.
00:28:28Would you like to hear him play?
00:28:29Stop.
00:28:29Yes, he would love to.
00:28:32Go.
00:28:33You got it.
00:28:34Go.
00:28:34Go.
00:28:38This is great.
00:28:43This is amazing.
00:28:44Merci, Amélie.
00:28:49It is an honor to play for you all.
00:28:53And I hope you enjoy.
00:28:54And join away.
00:29:25I'll be right back.
00:29:33Okay.
00:29:35Down the chimney, brought in back.
00:29:38With your back, you're green.
00:29:41From the start, you're still in line.
00:29:44Hey, stranger.
00:29:51Hi.
00:29:52Hey, um, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm sorry I disappeared like that.
00:29:59I needed to think.
00:30:01Yeah.
00:30:01I figured.
00:30:02Just, I think I needed...
00:30:04Space, right?
00:30:07I don't know what to say.
00:30:09Try, where are you?
00:30:11Oh, uh...
00:30:12I'm in France.
00:30:15French Alps.
00:30:16Actually, I flew here to climb a mountain.
00:30:21When you said you needed space, I thought you meant your sisters for a few days.
00:30:26Yeah.
00:30:27I know, it sounds crazy.
00:30:30I just, um...
00:30:31Yeah.
00:30:31Needed to run from anything that makes you uncomfortable.
00:30:34Hey, that's not fair.
00:30:35Isn't it?
00:30:35How much more time do you need to figure things out?
00:30:39I just don't know if, if we want the same things.
00:30:42Yeah.
00:30:43Yeah, it's hard to understand.
00:30:44Yeah, it's...
00:30:46It's really hard to understand something that's always been so clear to me.
00:30:54I should let you go.
00:30:56Okay, I love you.
00:30:57All the old San NicolĂĄs
00:31:00In your ear this way
00:31:02Don't you tell a single soul
00:31:05What I'm going to say
00:31:08Christmas Eve is coming soon
00:31:11Now you're the old man
00:31:13Whisper what you bring to me
00:31:17Tell me if you can
00:31:19Whisper what you bring to me
00:31:22Tell me if you can
00:31:26Since when did you start waking up before me?
00:31:46Doesn't feel right.
00:31:48I'm in tune with Mother Nature
00:31:49When she wakes up, so do I
00:31:52That's the most obnoxious way you could have answered that
00:31:55Thank you
00:31:56What are you reading?
00:31:58Oh, Mont Blanc is one of the most dangerous mountains in the world
00:32:00Due to avalanches, crevices, sudden weather changes, and altitude sickness
00:32:05Yeah, well, that's why we have Freddy
00:32:07Why would Gramps tell us to do this?
00:32:09Oh, by the way, he went into town this morning. He'll be back soon
00:32:11Oh, you saw him this morning?
00:32:15Yeah, he was up not long after me. Why?
00:32:18No reason
00:32:18I'm just curious
00:32:19You actually like him, don't you?
00:32:23I don't know
00:32:24I mean, I saw him talking to Amelie last night and they seemed kind of chummy
00:32:28Are you jealous?
00:32:31Don't be ridiculous. I hardly know the guy
00:32:33I'm just, uh, I'm just curious if our guide is ditching us for some French flame
00:32:39This is fun!
00:32:41I've never seen you hung up on a guy before
00:32:43I am not hung up on him, okay?
00:32:45I'm just...
00:32:47You know what? Let's just drop it
00:32:48Because it's not like you and I really talk about this stuff anyway
00:32:51Yeah, okay, consider it dropped
00:32:54Tuck, tuck, tuck
00:32:56Hi!
00:32:57Ah, she's up
00:32:58She is
00:32:59Are you guys, uh, ready to go?
00:33:02Go?
00:33:03What? I thought we were having brunch at the chalet
00:33:04Yes, we will have brunch
00:33:06But I thought that we could, um, add a little twist
00:33:10And make some memories of our own
00:33:12I'm intrigued
00:33:12You know I'm in
00:33:14Great!
00:33:15So, dress warm and meet me outside
00:33:17Oh, and I invited Amelie
00:33:21I hope you guys don't mind
00:33:22More in the merrier
00:33:23Parfait
00:33:25Parfait
00:33:25Okay
00:33:26Weeping
00:33:27You haven't had brunch
00:33:35Until you had brunch
00:33:36On the side of a mountain
00:33:38And Amelie
00:33:39Is in charge of the ice bar
00:33:41Hello!
00:33:43This is very impressive
00:33:45Right?
00:33:47Cheers to old memories creating new ones
00:33:51Santé
00:33:51Santé
00:33:52Well, let's see
00:33:54Okay
00:33:55How do you say
00:33:56May I have a crepe?
00:33:58Alors
00:33:58Est-ce que
00:33:59Je peux
00:34:01Avoir
00:34:02Une crĂȘte?
00:34:04Est-ce que
00:34:05Je peux
00:34:05Avoir
00:34:06Une crĂȘte?
00:34:09Parfait
00:34:10I can't believe Grandma was here 60 years ago
00:34:13I wish I could have known her back then
00:34:15She seemed so free
00:34:16Adventurous
00:34:17I'd like to think that Grandma and I were similar that way
00:34:20I think I got my wanderlust from her
00:34:23Well, I didn't get anything like that from her
00:34:26I don't have an adventurous bone in my body
00:34:28Well, I don't know if that's true
00:34:29I mean, you're here now
00:34:31About to climb a mountain in a couple days
00:34:33Yeah
00:34:34I think you're more alike than you think
00:34:36Hmm
00:34:37Well, she did plan a spa day today
00:34:40Oh!
00:34:40Spa day!
00:34:41That's right up your alley, Kels
00:34:43Now, this is a local specialty
00:34:46We have incredible Tummel Springs here
00:34:49Hmm
00:34:49That reminds me
00:34:51They gave me this
00:34:53When I come from their appointment
00:34:55New Manor, here we go
00:34:56Thank you
00:34:57When your grandfather said we'd start the day to spa
00:35:04I pictured massages and cocktails
00:35:08But he omitted a key detail
00:35:11The cold plunge
00:35:14Cold plunge?
00:35:17It'll be good for you
00:35:20It'll be good for all of us
00:35:22That is not what a spa day means back home
00:35:25You go first
00:35:25Okay
00:35:26Okay, here we go
00:35:30Here we go
00:35:32Oh!
00:35:33Yeah, yeah, yeah
00:35:34Oh my gosh
00:35:35Breathe!
00:35:36You have to breathe
00:35:37It hurts, but it feels good
00:35:39I could stay here all day
00:36:09If only
00:36:10It's gonna be so cold when we leave this little slice of heaven
00:36:14Try not to scream again, that was terrifying
00:36:17Okay, I'll admit I wasn't crazy about it at first
00:36:20But a little wisdom from Grandma has emboldened my spirit
00:36:23You know, I was really surprised to read that
00:36:26I didn't think Grandma was scared of anything
00:36:28Kind of reminds me of you
00:36:30Well, maybe the version of Grandma you remember wasn't entirely up-to-date
00:36:34What's that supposed to mean?
00:36:36Nothing
00:36:36No
00:36:37I'm gonna jump in the hot pool one last time
00:36:40Yeah
00:36:40That's a good idea
00:36:41Ooh
00:36:45Oh, yeah
00:36:51This is it
00:36:54Maybe my memory of Grandma isn't entirely up-to-date
00:37:11Was that it?
00:37:26Grandma was different after Grandpa died
00:37:29When you left, she slowed down a little
00:37:31She wasn't the daredevil she used to be
00:37:33Well, yeah, she turned 70s, that tends to happen
00:37:35I'm gonna go cold plunge
00:37:38It wasn't just getting older
00:37:42After Grandpa died, she wasn't as much of an adventure seeker
00:37:46Or maybe I rubbed off on her more after you left
00:37:50There it is
00:37:51So I left, and now you're closer to Grandma than I was
00:37:55That is not what I said
00:37:56Maybe that's who I grew up on this trip
00:37:59So that you could grow a backbone
00:38:01It'd be a shame to let her down, right?
00:38:04You think that all of this is for me?
00:38:07Because I think that there is plenty you can learn from all this
00:38:10Yeah, like what?
00:38:11Oh, I don't know
00:38:13About being scared of committing yourself to someone?
00:38:16What you said last night about one person not wanting to settle down
00:38:19Was that really in-depth, Frederick?
00:38:21You don't know what you're talking about
00:38:23Nope, I don't
00:38:25Because you don't tell me anything
00:38:27Because you're never, oh no
00:38:30Have you talked to Faith?
00:38:50She just needs some time to cool off
00:38:52Things will be back to normal by tomorrow
00:38:54I find that hard to believe
00:38:58I take it you don't have siblings?
00:39:01Yeah, this is pretty standard fare
00:39:03It happens every few years with us
00:39:05We don't see each other that often, but when we do
00:39:08But, I mean still, it must be hard now
00:39:14Not seeing each other for so long
00:39:17Honestly, I'm used to it
00:39:18Faith moved out when she was 18
00:39:20And started traveling
00:39:21She's been passing through our lives ever since
00:39:24Things were rough at home when she left
00:39:27Grandpa had just passed
00:39:29I could have used her help, but she wasn't there
00:39:34We've been growing apart ever since
00:39:37Yeah, I know a little bit about that
00:39:41Drifting around
00:39:43After college, I didn't know what to do with my life
00:39:47And I studied music, so of course I was broke
00:39:52So I started giving tours to pay rent
00:39:55But without realizing
00:39:58Years had passed
00:40:00And the further my dream got away from me
00:40:04The more depressed I got
00:40:07So I left it all behind
00:40:09My apartment, my relationship
00:40:12My guitar
00:40:14And I've been doing this ever since
00:40:16And you and Amélie are?
00:40:17Just friends
00:40:19Chamonix is way too small to try to avoid an ex
00:40:23Especially one from so long ago
00:40:25And you just gave music up?
00:40:28Well, occasionally I still write songs
00:40:30But they're just for me
00:40:31I do the same thing, actually
00:40:34I write stories
00:40:35You do?
00:40:36Mm-hmm
00:40:36I write stories about the pictures I take
00:40:39I've done it for years
00:40:40But you don't share them with anyone?
00:40:44No, no, no, no
00:40:46The only person who has read my writing is Grandma
00:40:48And she did always encourage me
00:40:50She said I should capture my own adventures
00:40:53Instead of other people's
00:40:55So why don't you?
00:40:58Um, because it's hard
00:40:59It's scary to put yourself out there
00:41:01What if people don't like it?
00:41:04What if it doesn't work out?
00:41:05Uh-huh
00:41:06Sure, but
00:41:08Is it any less scary than not trying?
00:41:12I don't know
00:41:13You tell me
00:41:14Okay
00:41:15Touche
00:41:17Okay, I'll make your deal
00:41:23You share one of your stories with me
00:41:27And, um
00:41:28I play another gig
00:41:30Really?
00:41:32Mm-hmm
00:41:33All right
00:41:35Deal
00:41:36Deal
00:41:39It's a shame you missed last night
00:41:49La Croute ForestiĂšre is magnifique
00:41:51Oh, yeah
00:41:52It's probably for the best
00:41:53Food fight might have broken out
00:41:55How was, uh, the yoga holiday party with Amelie, though?
00:42:00Hmm
00:42:00Festive
00:42:01It's interesting
00:42:02I've never seen so many flexible Santas
00:42:04Bonjour
00:42:07Ah, good morning
00:42:09Faith made some tea and coffee
00:42:11And there's some fresh croissant on the table
00:42:14Merci
00:42:15Okay, then
00:42:21I, uh, will go get some more firewood
00:42:23So
00:42:32I know we don't see each other that often
00:42:35But if we're gonna do this for Grandma
00:42:37I think we should at least try to get along
00:42:39Agreed?
00:42:43Okay
00:42:43I'll say it first
00:42:45I'm sorry
00:42:47I'm sorry, too
00:42:48Hey, you know, at least there's only a couple more days left in the trap
00:42:54Yeah
00:42:56Maybe by some miracle we won't kill each other
00:42:59How was dinner?
00:43:04Frederick said you had a nice time?
00:43:06Yeah
00:43:06It was nice
00:43:07Turns out he's not so bad when he's not being obnoxious
00:43:11Whoa
00:43:12That is high praise coming from you
00:43:15If it had been a date, it would have been my best in years
00:43:18Did you and Frederick make out?
00:43:19No
00:43:19Oh, come on, did you?
00:43:20No
00:43:21That's a shame
00:43:23It's like Grandma's setting you up
00:43:25Wouldn't be the first time she's called Matchmaker
00:43:27Little does she know she's setting you up with the most handsome man on the mountain
00:43:31I hadn't noticed
00:43:32Ah
00:43:37Things seem a little more civil
00:43:40I mean, the temperature's definitely up
00:43:43Hey, what's on the agenda for today?
00:43:47Here
00:43:47Train to Saint-Gervais
00:43:52Hey, isn't that where you're from?
00:43:54Yes
00:43:54It's a little town, but with lots of secrets
00:43:58Oh, Papa
00:44:00Gentle Papa Noel
00:44:04Je veux un cadeau du ciel
00:44:09I still don't understand why Graham wanted us to come all the way to Saint-Gervais for lunch
00:44:15Well, perhaps we'll learn more once we get there
00:44:19What are you hiding?
00:44:21Nothing
00:44:21I am just following Henry's instructions
00:44:24That's all
00:44:25Fortunately, we are here
00:44:29Oh
00:44:30Hello, CĂ©leste
00:44:34Oh, Frédéric
00:44:35How are you?
00:44:36How are you doing?
00:44:37You're so missing
00:44:39I want to present Kelly and Faith
00:44:41Kelly and Faith, I'd like both of you to meet Rebecca and Albert's tour guide
00:44:46What are you doing?
00:44:47Wow
00:44:48Wow
00:44:49Wow
00:44:50Wow
00:44:51Hello
00:44:52Hello
00:44:53Hello
00:44:54Come in, come in
00:44:55Come in
00:44:56Yes, yes, yes
00:44:57Yes, yes, yes
00:44:58Very good
00:44:59This is the best fondue I have ever had
00:45:02Well, she said that it's one of the best fondues that she had eaten
00:45:05Oh, thank you
00:45:07Did our grandparents really have lunch here back then?
00:45:10So, they would know if their grandparents really ate here and how did you meet them?
00:45:15Oh, Rebecca and Albert, yes, of course they ate here and it's even me who took them to La CrĂȘte des Amoureux
00:45:22So, yes, they ate here and they met at La CrĂȘte des Amoureux
00:45:27What's that?
00:45:28Is this a French thing?
00:45:30She's going to show you
00:45:32Couples journey here to get engaged
00:45:35In English, you would call it Lover's Ridge
00:45:38This is where Grandpa proposed to Grandma
00:45:41Is this where we're going tomorrow?
00:45:42It is, yes
00:45:43Partway of Mont Blanc
00:45:45I hope my grandson has been helpful to you
00:45:51Wait, Celeste is your grandmother?
00:45:54Yes
00:45:55What?
00:45:56Why did you tell us?
00:45:57Well, I told you, all will be revealed
00:46:00Okay, you see these locks?
00:46:02Local legend says that anyone who hangs a lock at Lover's Ridge will be bound together forever
00:46:09Whoa, together forever
00:46:11It's pretty terrifying, no?
00:46:13Maybe, but I think it's a risk worth taking
00:46:17I think it's sweet
00:46:20And popular
00:46:21And popular
00:46:22They started selling locks at the local gift shops
00:46:24But what's even more romantic is if you propose before Christmas on Christmas Eve
00:46:30You are destined to have a happy and long marriage as soulmates
00:46:36That's why Graham wants us to make it there by then
00:46:39She wants us to experience the same moment her life with her soulmate began
00:46:43I see Celeste
00:46:47It's incredible
00:46:48When I see you all, I feel like I see you again
00:46:52Oh, she says that you both remind her of Rebecca
00:46:56Thank you
00:46:58Thank you
00:47:04And you, I see her when you look at her
00:47:06Oh, it's freezing, but like in a good way
00:47:19Yes
00:47:20Ah, okay, so here we have Santa Claus
00:47:23Or as we call him, Papa Noel
00:47:26You guys want to take a picture with him?
00:47:28Yes, come on Kelly, this is so fun
00:47:30Okay, come on
00:47:31Thank you
00:47:32So do you think Santa Claus has naturally curly hair?
00:47:36Or does he get a perm a couple times a year?
00:47:38Well, it's natural for sure
00:47:39But Mrs. Claus must have to style you
00:47:42Yes
00:47:43It's your turn, sweetie
00:47:56I want mom
00:47:57It's okay, I'll go with you
00:47:59I'll go with you
00:48:08Should we go?
00:48:09Yeah!
00:48:13You okay?
00:48:14Yeah
00:48:15It's our turn, come on
00:48:16It's your turn
00:48:17It's your turn
00:48:19Hi
00:48:21Okay, ready?
00:48:22One, two, three
00:48:25Okay, come on up, Freddy
00:48:26Come on, get in here
00:48:27Okay
00:48:29Hi, Santa
00:48:30Super
00:48:31One, two, three
00:48:32Oui, city
00:48:33Oui, city
00:48:34Oui, city
00:48:35Oh, ho, ho
00:48:36Thank you, Santa
00:48:37I do not want this day to end
00:48:39Oh, same, so much fresh alpine energy in the air
00:48:42Well, then it's a good thing that the night's still young
00:48:44Yeah, so when you're not on tour guide duty, what's the most?
00:48:47What are the locals doing?
00:48:48Oh, good question
00:48:49Honestly, I'd be going to a Harley Departee
00:48:52I mean, it's kind of like this low key under the radar thing
00:48:56But it's only the mountain staff, the locals, DJ, and questionable dance moves
00:49:02Say less, we're crashing it
00:49:04I... you sure about that?
00:49:06Does Santa fly a sleigh?
00:49:08Okay
00:49:09I hope you guys are good at wrapping toys
00:49:11So this is...
00:49:13Is it the locals?
00:49:14Yeah
00:49:15Yeah, this is just the beginning
00:49:17Wow
00:49:18Hey, Kelly
00:49:19You're here
00:49:20Hey
00:49:21Bonjour, Frédéric
00:49:22Hey, ça va?
00:49:23I'll be right back
00:49:24I'll be right back
00:49:25Okay
00:49:26So, have you always done the toy drive?
00:49:27Actually, it was Frédéric's idea
00:49:29He saw the need for some of the families in the area who needed a little extra help
00:49:34Oh, that is so sweet
00:49:35We brought presents
00:49:36Here you go
00:49:37So nice
00:49:38You have so much wrapping paper
00:49:41Okay, of course I got the hardest thing to wrap
00:49:44Oh, that's so cute
00:49:45I don't know if that's cute
00:49:47You have kids, Faith?
00:49:48Me? No
00:49:49Nope
00:49:50Nope
00:49:51Okay
00:49:52Faith is more of a free spirit
00:49:54She goes where the wind blows her
00:49:56Well, I guess that's true
00:49:58How's the gift wrapping coming along?
00:50:01I mean, I don't want to brag, but I'm ready to put a bow on
00:50:04I'm kind of nailing it, right?
00:50:06That looks good
00:50:07Very impressive
00:50:08Usually a little better, but I think I had an odd shape
00:50:12That looks like a tragedy right there, yeah
00:50:15You know, Grandma would have loved this
00:50:16Definitely would have been on her itinerary
00:50:19Oh, yeah
00:50:20It was so nice meeting Celeste
00:50:21Yes, wasn't it?
00:50:23Getting to actually talk to somebody who was there when Grandma and Grandpa got engaged
00:50:26I mean, not talk, but you know what I mean?
00:50:29Oh, I promise you despite the language barrier, she loved meeting both of you
00:50:34Hey, what did she say about Kelly and her eyes at the end?
00:50:38Maybe we keep that translation for another time?
00:50:45Okay, what do you guys say we shake things up and hit the dance floor?
00:50:50Oh, no, I'm kind of into this
00:50:51Like, since when do you get to go to a Christmas party where there's an actual activity?
00:50:54You know?
00:50:55Yeah, good for now, too
00:50:57Really?
00:50:58I think I'm going to need a glass of something, preferably sparkling, before I make a fool of myself
00:51:06But Pauline, come with me
00:51:08Because at this rate, we're going to run out of wrapping paper
00:51:12I'll see you in a little bit
00:51:14Okay
00:51:15He lights up around her
00:51:18It's nice to see
00:51:19Yeah
00:51:20You know, I haven't seen her this happy in a long time
00:51:22She carries so much
00:51:24They look kind of good together, right?
00:51:26Yeah, really good
00:51:28How about you?
00:51:30Any one big hole?
00:51:32There is
00:51:33Oh, tell me about him
00:51:35Oh, gosh
00:51:37He's loyal
00:51:38He's kind
00:51:40Makes me laugh
00:51:42He's been the one constant in my life for a very long time
00:51:46And, um
00:51:47And?
00:51:48Well, um
00:51:50He proposed
00:51:52Wow
00:51:53I know
00:51:54But
00:51:55I left him hanging
00:51:57I haven't told anybody this, so
00:51:59Okay
00:52:00So you ran?
00:52:02I did, I ran
00:52:04I ran all the way here to climb a giant mountain
00:52:10Distract myself with
00:52:12Yet another daring adventure
00:52:15Well
00:52:16It's scary to feel that much for someone
00:52:19Because
00:52:20The feeling of losing them is too much
00:52:24Well, I hadn't thought about it like that
00:52:26Yeah
00:52:28Speaking in yoga terms
00:52:30Once my teacher said
00:52:32Sometimes the mountain you have to climb is out there
00:52:35And sometimes
00:52:36The mountain is your own limiting beliefs within you
00:52:43Oh
00:52:46Great
00:52:47You're good at this
00:52:49Thank you
00:52:50Bad at taking advice
00:52:51Good at doing it
00:52:53It's a talent
00:52:54No, I can relate
00:52:55Do champagne, s'il te plaĂźt
00:52:59I'm so happy to be here
00:53:01Yeah, to the party?
00:53:02No
00:53:03To your charming ski village
00:53:04Ah
00:53:05Minus the big climb tomorrow
00:53:07Which I am really not ready for
00:53:09You'll be fine
00:53:10If Rebecca and Abel were able to do it
00:53:12And, um
00:53:14If you fall
00:53:15I catch you
00:53:19Santé
00:53:20Santé
00:53:21It's lovely
00:53:22It's strange
00:53:25It's strange
00:53:27The first Christmas without her
00:53:29Yeah
00:53:30Yeah, it's unfortunate
00:53:33Our bodies grow old, but
00:53:35Our spirits stay young
00:53:37Yeah
00:53:38Maybe
00:53:40I think there's more to it than that, but
00:53:42I don't know
00:53:44I don't know
00:53:45Part of me thinks that
00:53:46Once she had to take care of me and Faith
00:53:49Grandma had to put her life of adventure on hold
00:53:51And
00:53:53She never really got back to it after that
00:53:57Our mom died
00:53:59When I was in grade school
00:54:01A car accident
00:54:03Dad couldn't handle it and took off
00:54:05The only people left were Grandma and Grandpa
00:54:09And having to raise us
00:54:12There weren't many adventures after that
00:54:16No
00:54:18I think raising both of you was
00:54:20Their greatest adventure of all
00:54:25Sorry
00:54:27I don't mean to be such a downer
00:54:28I just
00:54:30I don't really get to talk about it that much
00:54:33I don't mind
00:54:35Okay
00:54:39Time to shake it off
00:54:40I'm ready
00:54:42Twist my arm
00:54:44Let's go
00:54:45Wow
00:54:47Wow, okay
00:54:48Alright
00:54:49Oh
00:54:50Oh my, are these the moves you were talking about?
00:54:54Mm-hmm
00:54:55Is it working?
00:54:56Oh, the jury's still out
00:54:57Oh, wow
00:55:00Oh
00:55:01If only I asked the DJ to play a slow song
00:55:03As soon as I brought you on here on the dance floor
00:55:07That would be a move
00:55:08Mm-hmm
00:55:09Yeah
00:55:11That was it
00:55:15Hearts full
00:55:18Love everywhere
00:55:19Is this okay?
00:55:21Me?
00:55:23It's okay
00:55:25Don't mind
00:55:26The snow
00:55:29Christmas
00:55:31Is in the air
00:55:37Lots of hope
00:55:39And joy
00:55:41And laughter
00:55:45Fill the streets
00:55:47With so much cheer
00:55:49Glowing lights
00:55:54Up a sphere
00:55:55Sorry
00:55:58I'm leaving in a couple days
00:56:01I don't wanna be just a holiday fling
00:56:04It's not like we're ever gonna see each other again after this
00:56:08I don't want this to just be a holiday fling
00:56:10Maybe we should call it a night
00:56:13Maybe we should call it a night
00:56:15We have a really big day tomorrow
00:56:21You're probably right
00:56:24You're probably right
00:56:40Okay
00:56:42Okay
00:56:43For you
00:56:44Thanks
00:56:45You ready?
00:56:46Ready as I'll ever be
00:56:48Okay, good
00:56:49Uh, this is everything you need to climb a mountain
00:56:52Hats, gloves, boots
00:56:54And some really nice
00:56:56Climbing gears
00:56:58Uh, why do we need an ice axe?
00:57:01Well, because the final climb can be pretty steep
00:57:03So we need to be prepared
00:57:05Uh, okay
00:57:07This is a lot to dump on someone morning of
00:57:10No, no, no, no, no
00:57:12Listen, you'll be okay, I'll be with you the whole way
00:57:14Besides, there's a cabin along the way
00:57:18So, um, if we need to rest or if there's a snowstorm
00:57:21We can wait it out
00:57:22A snowstorm?
00:57:23Yeah
00:57:25Okay, I just, um
00:57:27I am not this person
00:57:29And I, I, doesn't this feel dangerous to you?
00:57:33I, I need some air
00:57:37She's fine
00:57:39She's fine, she just, she needs a minute to process
00:57:42Are you sure?
00:57:44Yeah, totally sure
00:57:46I mean, pretty sure
00:57:54See? Not so bad for your first cable car ride
00:58:04Yeah
00:58:06First stop reached
00:58:08And now, we eat
00:58:09It was especially impressive considering she didn't look out the window once
00:58:22Which is amazing, because the entire thing is basically all windows
00:58:26It is perfectly unnatural to be riding in a glass box that's hanging from the sky
00:58:32Okay
00:58:33That thing swayed and my life flashed before my eyes
00:58:36Okay, I, I'm just glad it's over
00:58:38Seriously, someone's gonna have to knock me out for the way down
00:58:40Ooh, um, yeah, about that
00:58:43Our next step is to take a second cable car
00:58:48All the way up there
00:58:50To the guille du midi
00:58:52Uh, is there another way?
00:58:54It's the only way, because this is the starting point of a hike
00:58:57Uh, we hike the first leg and then we stop by the cabin for some rest before the final climb to, like, a des amoureux
00:59:04Okay, that doesn't sound so bad
00:59:06Yeah, no, it's fine
00:59:08Uh-huh
00:59:09Okay, uh, I'm going to go talk to the chef, who's a friend of mine, and see what local specialties they have today
00:59:14Any requests?
00:59:16Oh, I've lost my appetite
00:59:17I think we'll take anything French, and Alpine, and wine, we're going to need lots of wine
00:59:25You got it
00:59:27Bye
00:59:30I, I don't, I don't understand
00:59:32What is the point of coming all the way out here if you're not even going to try to enjoy yourself?
00:59:36Would you like a formal apology for my anxiety?
00:59:39Okay
00:59:40Perhaps, um, a monogrammed note card
00:59:42Yes, I love you, I love you so much, but literally everything is outside of your comfort zone
00:59:49I mean, I think that's a problem, I think it's time that we unpacked why
00:59:55That's good
00:59:57You want to talk about emotional unpacking?
01:00:00At least I have a comfort zone
01:00:03You live out of a suitcase and call it free-spirited
01:00:06You ever wonder what you're running from?
01:00:09Okay, well, we'll drop it, don't worry about it
01:00:12No, we won't drop it
01:00:14Because you make it sound like I'm the only one with issues, but at least I'm here, I'm trying
01:00:20And you just keep moving around so you don't have to feel anything
01:00:24Hey
01:00:29Isn't this place incredible?
01:00:31Oh good, the wine's here
01:00:32What's here?
01:00:34Up here for you
01:00:38And for you
01:00:41Did I miss something?
01:00:43No, no
01:00:45Just, uh, dressing to the altitude
01:00:47Yeah
01:00:48You know I think it's him for toast
01:00:51To Grandma
01:00:53I hope that our journey is worthy of the life that you've lived
01:00:58And we're gonna miss you so much
01:01:00much. Anything you'd like to say, Kelly? Life is either a daring adventure or nothing.
01:01:15Truth or not.
01:01:16Santé.
01:01:17Santé.
01:01:18Santé.
01:01:19Santé.
01:01:20Okay. Here we go. Hey, come on. We got this.
01:01:31You'll be okay.
01:01:32Okay. I think I'm ready to live on the edge. Yes, you are. All right, come on, you got this.
01:01:46Three, two, one. Open your eyes. Hi. Oh, so this is what all the fuss was about.
01:01:57It's a panoramic view of the Alps. Wow. It's really breathtaking. Yeah. Like, I can feel
01:02:04the air getting thinner. Oh, that's because it is getting thinner. We're rising at an altitude
01:02:09of 12,605 feet. This is the highest accessible point in Europe by cable car. It's incredible.
01:02:16On a clear day, you could see Mont Blanc, Switzerland, and Italy. They say it's like sitting on the
01:02:23roof of Europe. No turning back now. No.
01:02:30Here we are. This is aiguille du midi, which means needle of the midday because the sun passes
01:02:45over the summit right around noon. So be careful. Walk slowly so you can adjust to the altitude.
01:02:52I mean, I was out of breath just standing there. Yeah, that's normal. Everybody adjusts differently.
01:02:57How you doing, Cal? Is you okay? I'm doing surprisingly well, considering the lack of oxygen.
01:03:02Good. Then you won't put up a fight. What are you talking about? Let's have something cool. Come on.
01:03:07Hold on.
01:03:13Oh! Nice, huh? It's like we're in the clouds. Yeah. We're on top of the clouds. You're right.
01:03:20They're below us. Wow. Oh my gosh. Wait. Wait, Faith. What is this? Okay. So this is an exhibit.
01:03:30What's it called, Freddie? Le pas du vide. Step into the void. The void?
01:03:36Yeah. Yeah. No, I'm not stepping into that. Come on. What did you say in your toast?
01:03:41Life is either a daring adventure or nothing? Come on. We're doing this. Come on.
01:03:47Okay. Put your slippers on. Okay. Slippers on. Yeah.
01:03:51Faith, if you let go of my hand, I will scream. I'm not letting go.
01:03:54My God. This is incredible. Freddie, get in here.
01:04:03Oh. Okay. Smile. Okay.
01:04:07Hello.
01:04:11Oh my gosh, I've never seen anything like this.
01:04:14Hello, my gosh. I can't move on. I can't move on.
01:04:24Harry, get here, please.
01:04:54Everybody okay back there?
01:04:59Yeah, feeling good.
01:05:01How about you, Kelly?
01:05:04I'm okay.
01:05:06This is a lot harder than spin class.
01:05:09I'm actually really impressed with you, Kels.
01:05:12I thought I was going to have to drag you up the mountain on a sled.
01:05:16Is that an option?
01:05:18Here.
01:05:20Why don't we stop here for a second and catch our breath, huh?
01:05:23Yeah.
01:05:25So we are on the highest mountain of Western Europe.
01:05:31I mean, look at this.
01:05:33I truly love this view.
01:05:35And it only gets better the higher we go, huh?
01:05:38Which, by the way...
01:05:40Are we getting close?
01:05:42Yeah, not much longer.
01:05:43The cabin is right around the next bend.
01:05:47Which is good, actually, because I don't know how long the weather is going to hold.
01:05:51Is there a storm coming?
01:05:52I'm not sure.
01:05:53But we better get moving.
01:05:55Okay.
01:05:56Okay.
01:05:57Okay.
01:05:58Okay.
01:05:59The weather changed fast.
01:06:00Okay.
01:06:01You guys okay?
01:06:02Yeah.
01:06:03Yep.
01:06:04Okay.
01:06:05Okay.
01:06:06Are we getting close?
01:06:07I don't know.
01:06:08I don't know.
01:06:09I don't know.
01:06:10I don't know.
01:06:11I don't know.
01:06:12I don't know.
01:06:13I don't know.
01:06:14I don't know.
01:06:15I don't know.
01:06:16I don't know.
01:06:17I don't know.
01:06:18I don't know.
01:06:19I don't know.
01:06:20I don't know.
01:06:21I don't know.
01:06:22I don't know.
01:06:23I don't know.
01:06:24I don't know.
01:06:25I don't know.
01:06:26I don't know.
01:06:27I don't know.
01:06:28I don't know.
01:06:29I don't know.
01:06:31I don't know.
01:06:33I don't know.
01:06:34I do it.
01:06:35I don't know.
01:06:36I don't know.
01:06:38I don't know.
01:06:39What's here?
01:06:40Oh!
01:06:41Oh my gosh.
01:06:43Ok!
01:06:44We're here!
01:06:45Is it open?
01:06:47Yeah!
01:06:48You okay.
01:06:51Kels?
01:06:52Run!
01:06:53Come on!
01:06:58She is walking.
01:06:59She is old...
01:07:00Everybody okay?
01:07:13Kitty?
01:07:14Yeah.
01:07:16I just need to catch my breath.
01:07:18Oh, wow.
01:07:19You guys need to see this.
01:07:26This is perfect.
01:07:29It's like someone did it for us.
01:07:30They did.
01:07:32Oh, there's something inside.
01:07:33Oh, there is?
01:07:38Wow, Grandma really had us pegged.
01:07:41Oh, something here for you too, Frederick.
01:07:45Oh.
01:07:46Wow.
01:07:48To my peach for when you decide to put down roots.
01:07:54Love, Grandma.
01:07:55Life is short.
01:08:02I got you started.
01:08:04The rest is up to you.
01:08:06Love, Grandma.
01:08:09Frederick, never give up.
01:08:12A dream is a terrible thing to waste.
01:08:13Hmm.
01:08:23Well, it would be a shame to not take advantage of such a cozy place.
01:08:26I'm going to make some hot chocolate.
01:08:28Okay.
01:08:32That's a good idea.
01:08:33We might be here for a bit.
01:08:35Oh, yeah?
01:08:35How long until the snow lets up?
01:08:37Oh, I don't know.
01:08:38It could be 15 minutes, but it could also be a couple of hours.
01:08:41Well, it's a couple of hours until sunset.
01:08:42We still have a bit we need to hike.
01:08:44You said it's close, though, right?
01:08:45Yes.
01:08:46It's less than a mile, but even with good weather, it is a slow climb.
01:08:50With the incline and the snow.
01:08:53And after that, it's way too dangerous.
01:08:56So, you know, we might have to spend the night here and, um, hang in tomorrow.
01:09:00Tomorrow?
01:09:01No, no, no, no, no, that's not going to work.
01:09:04Tell that to the mountain.
01:09:05No, it has to be today.
01:09:07That was the entire point of coming here.
01:09:09Well, I think Grandma would rather have us be late than hurt.
01:09:12We've come all this way.
01:09:14We can't just stop now.
01:09:16Faith, we're not going out there.
01:09:18That would be insane.
01:09:20Why are you being so weird about this?
01:09:22She's right.
01:09:23It's too dangerous.
01:09:25Oh, great.
01:09:25Now we've got two Kellys on this trip.
01:09:27What is that supposed to mean?
01:09:30Okay.
01:09:31Fine.
01:09:32We'll wait.
01:09:33But the second it stops snowing, we're going right back out there.
01:09:36Okay.
01:09:37Yeah.
01:09:50I'm going out there.
01:10:04It's starting to let up.
01:10:06And if we leave now, we'll probably make it in time.
01:10:08It'll probably stop snowing as we're on our way up the mountain.
01:10:11Um, it could get worse.
01:10:13Why are you being so adamant about this?
01:10:15We can go tomorrow.
01:10:17I would like to actually finish what we started.
01:10:19I'm just asking for you to be brave a little bit longer.
01:10:21There is a difference between being brave and being stupid.
01:10:25Wow.
01:10:25I can't always be the voice of reason, Faith.
01:10:29It would be so great if just once you could be responsible.
01:10:32I had no idea you thought so little of me.
01:10:35Well, I didn't mean...
01:10:37Save it.
01:10:37I know you live this safe life, but I've got to tell you something else.
01:10:45You need to take a chance on something.
01:10:47Eventually.
01:10:48And if it's not on this trip, you need to take a chance on someone.
01:10:57I don't want the good things in life to pass you by because you're too scared to go after them.
01:11:05Where are you going?
01:11:06I need some time alone.
01:11:14Are you okay?
01:11:16I think I actually also need some space.
01:11:19Yeah, um, you and Faith say that a lot.
01:11:23I actually think you need the opposite.
01:11:26Go talk to her.
01:11:28Uh, what she said...
01:11:31Yeah, you don't...
01:11:32You don't have to explain.
01:11:34I'm sure she didn't mean most of it.
01:11:36No, it's...
01:11:37It's not that.
01:11:38It's just...
01:11:41I can't do another long-distance relationship.
01:11:44Yes.
01:11:50I guess we got caught up in things.
01:11:54Yeah.
01:11:56I think I just need to lie down for a bit, if that's okay.
01:11:59Yes, of course.
01:12:00I'll give you some space.
01:12:08Kelly.
01:12:25Kelly.
01:12:26Kelly.
01:12:26Hey, Kelly.
01:12:27Hey, wake up.
01:12:28Wake up.
01:12:29Hey.
01:12:29What?
01:12:29It's Faith.
01:12:29She's gone, and I don't know how long ago she left.
01:12:32What?
01:12:32What? She went up there? Alone?
01:12:35Yes, and trying it in the snow by herself is dangerous.
01:12:38Look, we have to go after her. We can't let anything happen to her.
01:12:41No, no, no, no, no. You stay here and I'll go.
01:12:43The storm has stopped. The weather can change any time.
01:12:45Well, that's a risk that we're going to have to take.
01:12:47It's not safe.
01:12:48Well, exactly. We have a better chance of making it if we go together.
01:12:52Faith is my sister.
01:12:54Just because we had a fight doesn't mean I'm going to let her freeze to death on a mountain.
01:12:58Or let you get hurt trying to bring her back.
01:13:00Okay. Stay close.
01:13:03Okay.
01:13:19Faith!
01:13:22Faith!
01:13:23Faith! Where are you?
01:13:25She doesn't know where to go.
01:13:28Faith!
01:13:29Faith!
01:13:36Faith!
01:13:37Be careful. There is a cliff on the right.
01:13:45Miracle.
01:13:49Okay.
01:13:59I got totally lost in the snow covered my dress and I didn't know where I was and I
01:14:28was trying to get my way back to the cabin and I couldn't find you you could have fallen off of
01:14:32a cliff you could have been frozen you could have you could have been buried in snow I know
01:14:38I'm sorry okay I'm gonna give you guys some space
01:14:43I'm so stupid I just wanted to like get here in time you know I didn't want to let
01:14:58grandma down I didn't want to let you down what are you talking about
01:15:02you were right you've always been the responsible one
01:15:13you were there when she needed us most and I just took off
01:15:19and don't try to deny it I've known this for a long time I've just been avoiding it just like
01:15:26everything else but then she died and it was like I could never make it right you know
01:15:36when Henry told us about this like final wish I thought okay this is it this this is something
01:15:43that I can do for her
01:15:44and then I think I just I screwed that up too
01:15:49no you didn't you made it
01:15:53I don't just mean the truth
01:15:56I mean us
01:15:59I really wanted us
01:16:04to feel like sisters again
01:16:07but even that was stupid because one week doesn't make up for 17 years of neglect
01:16:15well it's not all your fault I could have tried harder too I mean
01:16:23it's not like you didn't invite me to visit
01:16:26I was mad when you left
01:16:31jealous I guess
01:16:33but I'm the one that decided to live in a bubble
01:16:37but if there's anything this week taught me
01:16:44it's that a little adventure won't kill me
01:16:47and I think I kind of like it
01:16:49maybe there's a little grandma in me after all
01:16:53you really scared me
01:17:00I can't lose you two
01:17:04I'm really sorry

01:17:56this is where it all began for them
01:18:17this is surreal
01:18:21isn't it standing here where they once stood
01:18:24I think you can hear their story echoing through this place
01:18:29I miss them so much
01:18:31I wish they could see us now
01:18:35they'd be so proud
01:18:37I think they would

01:18:58Merry Christmas Grandma and Grandpa
01:19:03hey there's something I haven't told you
01:19:10what?
01:19:12Ben proposed to me back home
01:19:14what?
01:19:17yeah
01:19:17Faith
01:19:19what?
01:19:20why didn't you tell me?
01:19:21I was scared
01:19:22I was scared that committing to a life with Ben
01:19:26would mean losing myself
01:19:27or my freedom
01:19:28my sense of adventure
01:19:29but here's the thing
01:19:30I think this trip has taught me that
01:19:32committing to a life with Ben
01:19:34would be the most daring adventure of them all
