00:00Oh Christmas tree, oh Christmas tree, how lovely are thy branches.
00:07Those lights and that tree, it's just, it's beautiful.
00:11You can thank our town constable for the tree.
00:13It's doing my assigned task.
00:14Well, it makes me smile just to look at it.
00:16It's Christmas without the perfect tree.
00:19Harper's Hussar? How did that magazine even know about our town?
00:23I have no idea why I showed up one day saying Brookfield was one of three towns selected to be
00:28in its country Christmas edition.
00:30That magazine sells all over North America.
00:32Indeed.
00:33We were already planning on having a festival, but this inspired us to go even bigger.
00:38How lovely are thy branches.
00:43Well, obviously word of my hotel has spread.
00:46Oh, you think you're the reason for the magazine's interest?
00:49What else could it be?
00:50Maybe an out-of-towner tried one of my delectable pastries.
00:53Or maybe they were charmed by my general store.
00:56Right, right.
00:57Pastries and canned goods are the reason for our sudden acclaim.
01:00Ronnie?
01:01Tess?
01:02What's that growing on your face?
01:04Oh, this.
01:05I, uh, thought I'd add a touch of class to this town.
01:08By disguising yourself?
01:10Huh.
01:10I'm just kidding.
01:13Looks great.
01:15Right, Debbie?
01:23Nice wagon.
01:26Thanks.
01:30You must be busy with Elinor gone for the holidays.
01:33Ah, fortunately the older children really help out.
01:35Ah, that's good.
01:36Yeah.
01:37What are you looking at there, Theo?
01:39You think Santa will get me Lincoln logs?
01:42Oh.
01:43Oh, I don't know.
01:45Santa might think that you could use some new pants.
01:47But I'd rather have Lincoln logs.
01:49Well, we'll see what he brings.
01:51But maybe we could build a toy cabin out of some wood in our own backyard.
02:01Whoa.
02:06Hey, Harley.
02:08Is that one of ours?
02:09Found her out near my barn.
02:10She was looking for feed.
02:12Sorry about that.
02:13Not a problem.
02:14I'll go get someone.
02:19So, how's Lucy working out as a foreman?
02:23Ah, she's fine.
02:25You wanted that job, right?
02:26Of course, I wouldn't.
02:28Why do you think Tess gave her the job and not you?
02:30You'd have to ask Tess.
02:32You don't think her last name had anything to do with it?
02:35I'm sure it didn't hurt.
02:45Hey, straight in the back when we get back.
02:47You read my favorite story tonight.
02:49Again?
02:51Okay, okay.
02:52Hey, it's my turn.
02:54No, it's mine.
02:55Everyone will get a turn.
02:56Oh, hey.
02:57Watch it.
02:57Sorry, Tess.
02:58Well, just watch where you're walking.
03:00Sorry, Mrs. Stewart.
03:01I want you all to be more careful, especially with that bike.
03:06It's okay.
03:07It's okay.
03:12It's not like we don't miss Grace and Chuck, too.
03:53Once upon a time, there was a valiant young man who wanted to watch over a beautiful fair maiden.
04:00For when they met, it was love at first sight.
04:04The fair maiden was funny and creative and hardworking, but most of all, she had a really big heart.
04:12She decided to bring a child to a faraway land to be reunited with her family.
04:18And when the valiant man found out, he rushed over to let her know exactly how he felt about her.
04:25Ooh.
04:26Yeah.
04:29After the fair maiden left, the valiant man missed her terribly.
04:33So, do you know what he did?
04:35He jumped on the boat and married her in England.
04:38No, that's the very end.
04:39He wrote to her and professed his love.
04:41Mm-hmm.
04:42Why didn't he fight any dragons?
04:43Well, he didn't come across any.
04:45Well, I think it would be more valiant if he did.
04:47I like dragons.
04:49Tomorrow we'll need a story with dragons.
04:50Let Miss Lillian get to the end.
04:52Yeah.
04:53Who wants dragons when they can have happily ever after?
04:58Hoo-hoo-hoo!
05:02Boy, oh boy!
05:05Ow!
05:06Hoo-hoo-hoo!
05:08Boy, huh!
05:09Oh, oh, oh!
05:10My heart is racing!
05:11On a better road, this car will hit 45 miles an hour.
05:15No worry.
05:15Fuck!
05:16You'll be practically flying.
05:17No kidding?
05:19Yeah, but listen, about the price, you know, can we, uh, maybe look him down a little bit?
05:23I get it.
05:24Wait, you get what?
05:26Well, this car ain't for everyone.
05:27What do you mean?
05:28Maybe I should find you something less powerful and elegant.
05:31No, no, yeah, yeah, I love this car.
05:33I mean, the constant attention from women, the envy of other men, that's a lot to handle.
05:37Oh, I can handle that.
05:38I have another interested buyer.
05:39Maybe I should give you...
05:39No, no, no, no, no, no.
05:40I'll take it.
05:41I'll pay a full price.
05:42Now, that's the attitude of a man who drives this car.
05:44You don't ask, you demand.
05:46Yeah.
05:46But listen, you know, mind if I take a few days?
05:49No, no, no, my hotel is hopping.
05:51I'll have the cash by Christmas.
05:52I'll hold it till Christmas.
05:53Great!
05:54$20 up front.
05:57Fine.
06:07Baby.
06:13Can't wait for Christmas to start.
06:15You can say that?
06:17What are your plans?
06:18Spending with the family.
06:20How's your father?
06:22It's fine now.
06:24The gift is quite a scare.
06:26Look forward to the time with him.
06:29How about you?
06:31Headed to Clearwater after work.
06:33I'll shop for a couple days, then go to my folks' ranch.
06:37Spending your foreman wages?
06:40Yeah.
06:42I guess I will be.
06:49Such a good girl.
06:51Yeah, a good girl.
06:56Chuck?
06:58What are you doing up there?
06:59I'm looking for my present.
07:02And what makes you think we'd hide it up there?
07:04Because it seemed like a good hiding place.
07:06Well, the fact you're looking there means that it's not.
07:09Come on down.
07:14Mrs. Stewart?
07:16The feed is on its way to the Eastern Range.
07:19Good.
07:19Tomorrow we start repairs on the fence of the Southern Range.
07:22But we don't have any cattle in the Southern Range.
07:25Not at the moment.
07:31I guess our Christmas break we'll have to wait another day.
07:35Come on.
07:45Sam?
07:48Um, Kim, would you make sure our carolers stick to the schedule?
07:52The schedules aren't my strong suit.
07:54Please?
07:56You sure?
07:57Yeah.
08:16Oh, excuse me, Constable.
08:18Can you tell me how to get to New Hope Orphanage?
08:21I can do better.
08:21I can take you there myself.
08:22Are you sure?
08:23I'm dropping something off there.
08:24My wagon's around the back.
08:25Oh, thank you.
08:27This town is beautiful.
08:29Yeah.
08:29Well, you could take this woman right here.
08:31I've had a lot of help.
08:32Maggie Farson.
08:33Oh.
08:33Abigail Stanton.
08:34Maggie!
08:36Oh, excuse me.
08:37What are you doing here?
08:39Wait, you're writing the article for Harper's Bazaar?
08:42I am.
08:43Did you know I was in Brookfield?
08:45Guilty as charged.
08:46Will you join me for dinner tonight?
08:48Of course!
08:52Welcome to the Royal Brookfield, sir.
08:54How may I help you?
08:55I'd like a room, please.
08:57Certainly.
08:59Let's have a look.
09:01Well, today is your lucky day, my friend.
09:04I have one room left.
09:05What's your rate?
09:06Two dollars.
09:07A bit pricey, don't you think?
09:10Well, this is a first-class establishment, sir.
09:13As a matter of fact, a magazine is doing a spread on this place.
09:16Really?
09:17Mm-hmm.
09:17Now, the article might include a word or two about the people in the town, but it'll mainly
09:21be about my hotel.
09:23That's news to me.
09:24Paul Franklin, Harper's Bazaar.
09:28Yeah, Ronnie Stewart.
09:31Should have said something.
09:32Hey, prankster.
09:33Well, your room, of course, is free of charge, Mr. Franklin.
09:37Oh, no, no, no.
09:38I don't take free stuff.
09:40It compromises my journalistic integrity.
09:43You understand, right?
09:44Of course.
09:45Yes, integrity is my middle name.
09:48Well, there you are, sir.
09:49You have the suite, second floor, third door you lift.
09:59That doesn't fit.
10:00It almost does.
10:02Almost doesn't count.
10:05This is hard.
10:06When something's hard, you feel even greater accomplishment when you complete it.
10:11But you know what I think?
10:13I think it's time for cookie break.
10:15Yes.
10:28Is that the new boy?
10:30I believe so.
10:31Why couldn't it have been a girl?
10:34All right.
10:35Let's go say hello.
10:38Thank you, Constance.
10:47Abigail.
10:48Lillian.
10:48It's so nice to see you.
10:51Oh, lovely.
10:51You remember my son, Cody?
10:53Of course.
10:53Well, you have grown.
10:56And you must be Roy.
10:58Roy's not a big talker.
11:00Okay.
11:01Nice to meet you, Roy.
11:03Ooh.
11:04Come here.
11:10You want us to show you your room?
11:11Oh, that's a great idea.
11:13Come on, guys.
11:15Go on, Roy.
11:19Roy, I'm Vincent.
11:21It's right through here.
11:23You'll be sleeping in my bunk, but I get the top.
11:26Miss Lillian decides who sleeps where.
11:28Just, you know, no one knows Virginia said to me.
11:31No one likes milking cows, Mary Louise.
11:34We also have a bike, if you know to ride.
11:38Thank you for the tree, Gabriel.
11:39It's beautiful.
11:40Where would you like it?
11:41Just in the living room.
11:42I'll move the smaller one into the dining room.
11:44Cody, can you help Mountie Gabriel?
11:46Sure.
11:55This one used to be Christian's.
11:56And this one was Fred's.
11:58They were adopted.
12:00They were really nice.
12:01We write to each other.
12:04This isn't like the other places.
12:06It's better.
12:07But we are expected to do chores.
12:12So, Grace is married and living in London?
12:15Mm-hmm.
12:15She is doing so well.
12:17But how about you?
12:18Rose, when you told me you were taking care of your mother.
12:20Oh, yes.
12:21She was quite ill.
12:22But thank God she's okay now.
12:24Good.
12:25And so how do you know Roy?
12:27Well, I knew of Roy through my cousin,
12:30who runs a big orphanage near my mother.
12:32Mm-hmm.
12:34Roy's been to three different orphanages,
12:35and he just, he just hasn't done well.
12:39Mm-hmm.
12:41Roy's father died in a traffic accident four years ago.
12:45And his mother and unborn sister died during childbirth shortly after that.
12:49Oh, that poor boy.
12:51My cousin has tried to get him to open up, but he just won't.
12:55And she would have kept trying, but...
12:58I seem to remember that you really connected with your children.
13:03So I thought it was worth a shot.
13:05Yeah, of course.
13:08We finished setting up the tree.
13:09Oh, thank you.
13:11Constable, would you mind giving us a ride back into town?
13:13We need to get a room.
13:14Oh, no, you'll be staying with us.
13:16The hotel's probably booked anyway.
13:19That's very kind of you, Lillian.
13:20It's my pleasure.
13:25You're welcome.
13:47You're really good at this.
13:49It takes patience.
13:50Girls.
13:51I'm so close to finishing.
13:54Oh.
13:55Then you can finish tomorrow.
13:58It's time for bed.
14:00Good night.
14:02Good night.
14:20Are you sleeping with your eyes open?
14:23He's awake, Theo.
14:26He just doesn't like to talk.
14:27Why?
14:28It's bedtime.
14:30Good night.
14:31Good night, Miss Lillian.
14:33Good night.
14:33Good night.
14:44Hey, Roy.
14:47I know you've had a hard time at your other orphanages,
14:50but I really hope it's going to be different for you here.
14:54I'm going to take care of you.
14:58Everything's going to be okay.
15:00Okay.
15:12Good night.
15:15Good night.
15:17You heard her back.
15:36And then, when my editor said he wanted a country Christmas article,
15:40I suggested Brookfield.
15:41Thank you for that.
15:43So, how long have you been at Harper's Bazaar?
15:45Oh, a year.
15:47Yeah.
15:48They said they wanted another travel writer,
15:49and so I just sold them on that detention.
15:52Um, you miss being a beat reporter.
15:54You kidding?
15:56Hearing you talk about your travels inspired me to seek more than a headline.
16:00I couldn't be happier.
16:02No word.
16:04So, what about you?
16:06Oh.
16:07You said you wanted to experience the great Northwest.
16:09I thought you were talking about a few weeks.
16:12Here you are, over a year later.
16:14Uh, well, I run the infirmary.
16:16No doubt, with great flair.
16:19Well, I suppose I've taken to the town.
16:24And the town to me.
16:25That's great.
16:27I just want to capture the magic of this place.
16:30Well, I have no doubt you will.
16:43Rise and shine.
16:47No!
16:52I was so close!
16:56It's all gone!
16:57It's all gone!
16:57Nora!
16:59Oh!
17:00What happened?
17:02Where's Roy?
17:04Roy?
17:05Roy!
17:06Shh!
17:16This is, uh, highly unusual.
17:19Oh, it's fine.
17:20I can get by with the other two drawers.
17:28One drawer may be problematic.
17:30Is this, uh, going to go into your article?
17:34I can't really say.
17:36I'll tell you what.
17:36I will get you a brand new dresser.
17:38You sure?
17:38Not a problem.
17:39This is a first-class establishment.
17:42I remember you saying that.
17:45Why don't I take that?
17:50So, how are things with you and Lillian going?
17:53Fine.
17:54Why?
17:55I seem to recall the two of you were almost an item.
17:59Well, we're just good friends.
18:02My wife, when she was alive, was my best friend.
18:08Sometimes we have a point here, Joe.
18:09No, I'm just regaling in my greatest accomplishment.
18:17Remind me again.
18:17What's the mounting motto?
18:20I pulled the right.
18:21I pulled the right.
18:23What could be more right than winning the heart of the woman of your dreams?
18:32Out to Kinzo.
18:33Roy is gone.
18:40Hey, Lucy.
18:44I rode the entire Southern Range and, you know, saw you did a lot.
18:49I pushed them hard.
18:51They're just what I want from my foreman.
18:53We'll finish the rest right after Christmas.
18:56Can't stop now.
18:57What do you mean?
18:58We need all that fencing repair before we get the herd in.
19:00But that'll take a week?
19:02Well, maybe less.
19:04Rate your movie.
19:05That means working through Christmas.
19:06There's scrub on that range.
19:07We get the herd in.
19:08I save on supplemental feed, so...
19:10Yeah, we were all looking forward to spending Christmas with our families.
19:13I don't want to disappoint them.
19:14My cattle were looking forward to eating.
19:16I don't want to disappoint them.
19:18I understand that, but...
19:19Listen, it's been a mild winter.
19:21I need to take advantage of that.
19:23I get it.
19:24It's just...
19:29Is there any way I can get the time off?
19:33Sure, there is.
19:34You can quit.
19:41Then I quit.
19:42Wait, hold on a sec.
19:43Can we talk?
19:45Hank almost lost his father this year.
19:47No.
19:48He was looking forward to the time with him.
19:50Yeah, I was going to give him the time off after we get the herd in.
19:52With all due respect, you're not being there.
19:56With all due respect, my ranch, my rules.
20:02Well, if he quits, I quit.
20:08Come on, let's go.
20:10Where?
20:10Wherever we please.
20:12We're no longer employees of the Stewart Ranch.
20:15Anyone else?
20:17Anyone else not want to work?
20:19Feel free to join them.
20:23I need the work, ma'am.
20:28I'll see you tomorrow, Pete.
20:33Roy!
20:40Roy!
20:42I moved here when I bought the bakery from my Aunt Pearl about six months ago.
20:46And how'd you like it?
20:47I love it.
20:47Everyone in the town has welcomed me with open arms.
20:50Well, maybe the best way to a town's heart is to its sweet.
20:54Do you mind if I take your photograph?
20:56Sure.
20:59Okay.
21:01I'll see you tomorrow.
21:10Oh, my God.
21:37Ben, did you happen to be selling a dresser?
21:39Yeah, we are.
21:42My son's been taking piano lessons.
21:44And he's really good.
21:46So the missus and I would like to buy him a used piano for Christmas.
21:50We figured if we sold some furniture.
21:52Yeah, good plan.
21:53Now, about the dresser?
21:55It's at my house.
21:56Perfect.
21:56I'll swing by.
21:58Oh, great.
22:01Gabriel, over here.
22:06Oh, there's a path just through there.
22:18I guess, yeah.
22:32Okay.
22:38Roy!
22:39It's okay.
22:40It's okay.
22:40It's okay.
22:41Let me go.
22:41I'm not going anywhere.
22:42I'm not giving up on you.
22:45Okay?
22:46It's okay.
22:54Whoa.
22:56What a girl.
22:57Hey, Roddy.
22:57Ben, how are you?
22:59Good.
23:00You still have that dresser, I hope?
23:02Oh, yes.
23:03Come on in.
23:04Much obliged.
23:07Oh, nice.
23:11There it is.
23:12I brought it downstairs.
23:14Oh, thank you, Ben.
23:16Let's have a boo, shall we?
23:18It's been in my wife's family for a couple of generations.
23:22Oh.
23:22That's pretty old then, I guess.
23:24Oh, look at the craftsmanship.
23:27Quite an ache right there.
23:29First time Timmy threw a ball.
23:31Turns out he can throw better than I can catch.
23:33The missus wasn't very happy.
23:36Uh, two dollars.
23:38Well, we'd need four more dollars for the used piano, so that's too steep for this old piece, Ben.
23:44Well, what else are you selling?
23:47Well, um, we're a little reluctant to sell much more of our stuff.
23:52Hmm.
23:54You, uh, say Timmy really has his heart set on that piano for Christmas, huh?
23:59He plays like an angel.
24:01Yeah.
24:01Yeah, sounds like a prodigy.
24:07Dashing through the snow
24:09In a one-horse open sleigh
24:11Over the fields we go
24:14Laughing all the way
24:16Over the fields we go
24:18Whoa, whoa, whoa
24:19Hold on there, girl.
24:21What the?
24:22Oh, for the love of Pete.
24:25Hang on there, sweetheart.
24:26Oh.
24:31Easy, girl.
24:32Easy, girl.
24:34That's a great girl.
24:37Oh, great.
24:39All right, this is gonna take some time, sweetheart.
24:42All right.
24:42That's a girl.
24:43That's a...
24:46Come on.
24:48All right, don't you?
24:58What's that?
24:59Antichrome.
25:02Oh, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho.
25:05What have we got here?
25:11Oh, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho.
25:15Well, would you look at that.
25:18So are you gonna keep me company?
25:21When did you meet Miss Lillian?
25:22When she was in Home Valley with her sister.
25:25They were on their way to start your orphanage.
25:26Think we got enough walnuts?
25:28We got enough for ten pies.
25:30I love pies.
25:32Who doesn't?
25:33We gotta stop at the general store.
25:43Look, reindeer.
25:45Wow.
25:49Not just any reindeer.
25:51What do you mean?
25:52Dasher, Dancer, Prancer, Vixen, Comet, Cupid, Donner, Vixen.
26:02Hi, guys.
26:04Mr. Stewart is Santa Claus.
26:08Santa Claus?
26:10What are you guys doing over there?
26:12Don't say anything.
26:22Violet!
26:34Are you okay?
26:36I've never had a child run away before.
26:41My cousin told me that Roy has run away from every orphanage he's been at.
26:45I want this place to be different than all the others.
26:48Lillian, it is.
26:51Theo wants Lincoln locks, not clothes.
26:55All these kids deserve to have their Christmas wishes come true.
26:59Lillian, they're in a loving home.
27:03That is your gift to them.
27:07I don't know.
27:09I started this orphanage with Grace.
27:12Sometimes I wonder if I can do it alone.
27:15Are you alone?
27:17I don't know.
27:20I do have some wonderful friends.
27:22Well, wonderful friends is a good place to start.
27:36Look at the selection.
27:38Did you make all of this?
27:40Most, but not all.
27:41Some were donated by Townsville for the festival.
27:43So what do we got?
27:44Well, we have date cookies, pound cake, cinnamon muffins.
27:49Oh, I'm allergic to cinnamon.
27:52Good to know.
27:52We'll want to avoid those.
27:54Uh, Hungarian Christmas cookies, cashew brittle.
27:57Yeah, I'm going to go with some of the cookies.
27:59Okay.
28:01Are you ready for your big performance in a few days?
28:04Are you kidding?
28:05I was born to play Santa.
28:07Good.
28:29Christmas in Vienna, written by Maggie Parsons.
28:33Oh, the lights on the Kraven and the Katnestrasse.
28:37As eloquently detailed in your article.
28:41Springtime in Paris, written by Maggie Parsons.
28:45Well, that practically wrote itself.
28:48My summer in Siam.
28:50I wrote an elephant.
28:51I know, because I read it.
28:53You also know I dabbled in travel writing to help cover my expenses.
28:58Well, your enthusiasm for new places is contagious.
29:03Got me on my new career path.
29:07Why?
29:08To help you remember what brought you here.
29:12Doesn't at least part of you miss the adventure?
29:23What did your mom say we need again?
29:25Flour and sugar.
29:33Violet?
29:36Come on.
29:37Let's go.
29:40Wow, I just can't believe that she would say that.
29:43So what, you just decided to quit?
29:46Yeah.
29:47I gave my ranch hands Christmas off.
29:50Well, Tess obviously feels different.
30:08Whoa.
30:10There's a good girl.
30:16It's Santa.
30:26Come on.
30:31Oh, Franklin.
30:32There you are, sir.
30:33Here, get your new dresser right here, sir.
30:35Are you sure it's new?
30:36Even better.
30:37It's an antique.
30:38Like I said, I...
30:39I know, you run a first-class establishment.
30:41Absolutely.
30:43Thank you for this dream, Mountie Gabriel.
30:46It's my pleasure.
30:47Mountie Gabriel's a good friend.
30:50In Hope Valley, I knew some Mounties.
30:52They were all good men.
30:53Uh, Nathan Grant has been to Brookfield a few times,
30:56and I served under Jack Thornton in the Northern Territories.
30:59Really?
31:00He was a good man.
31:02Yes, he was.
31:11Look at that.
31:13Train's it.
31:14Well, that's...
31:18That's maybe a bit pricey for Santa.
31:22I want a raggedy hand, doll.
31:24You know what I think?
31:26I think we should be grateful for whatever Santa brings us.
31:33Oh, look who's here.
31:35Hide your puzzle, Nora.
31:37Vincent.
31:42Hey.
31:43I need all you kids to make an effort to help Roy feel welcome here.
31:47Okay.
31:48We'll try.
31:49Okay.
31:50You know what I always say?
31:52Actions speak louder than words.
32:02Can I have a word with him?
32:04Sure.
32:10What?
32:11Oh, I know that look.
32:13What does that mean?
32:14What is it about young women and Mounties?
32:30What are we going to do?
32:33You're not going to find a better place than this.
32:37Are you an expert on orphanages?
32:39No.
32:40But my job is to know people.
32:43And Miss Lillian is as good as it gets.
32:48She wants the best for you, Roy.
32:51I don't care.
32:53You should.
32:56And now...
32:59You've made a mess of it with the other kids.
33:03It's going to be on you to make amends.
33:10What makes you happy, Roy?
33:14I don't think it's running away.
33:23I don't think it's going to be on you.
33:23Okay.
33:23I'll leave you alone.
33:27I remember me and my dad playing catch.
33:33That made me happy.
33:35Yeah.
33:38Who doesn't love playing catch with their dad?
33:55Okay.
33:56How can I help?
33:57Oh, I think we have this covered.
34:00The bone are gone.
34:01The extra hands, sure.
34:02A big help.
34:03If you need even more help,
34:05I hear Lucy Clay is looking for work.
34:07How will she test this foreman?
34:08So?
34:10Not anymore.
34:11Well, what happened?
34:18What happened?
34:40Careful.
34:54Tess?
34:56Oh, what the?
34:58What are you doing here?
35:00Is it true you're making your ranch hands work through Christmas?
35:03It's a free country.
35:04I'm not making anybody do anything.
35:07Now, how's this any of your business?
35:09It's a small town, and what you do affects everyone.
35:12Oh.
35:12Besides, we're practically family,
35:15so I was actually hoping to invite you.
35:17Yeah, no, we are not family.
35:19And after what you did, we never will be.
35:23What did I do?
35:24It's what you didn't do.
35:25You didn't convince Grace to come home.
35:28My son's got to go chasing after her.
35:30Like you said, it's a free country.
35:33This is the first Christmas.
35:34First one.
35:35I won't be spending with him.
35:36Even when he was at veterinary college,
35:39he'd come home every year for the holiday.
35:43We only ever had one.
35:46One what?
35:48Christmas.
35:50Since I was seven, I've had exactly one Christmas with Grace.
35:58Then why didn't you convince her to come back?
36:00Because that's not what she wants.
36:01She's young.
36:02She doesn't know what she wants.
36:04She deserves to find happiness.
36:08Doesn't Chuck?
36:13I've got a fence to repair.
36:27Maggie!
36:29You're not happy.
36:30I just got my next two assignments.
36:32Okay.
36:33Times Square on New Year's Eve.
36:35Ooh, sounds like fun.
36:36Carnival in Rio de Janeiro.
36:38Even more fun.
36:40That's not the best part.
36:41Before I left, I showed you Christmas in Vienna article to my editor.
36:46Why?
36:46Because they're looking for another travel writer.
36:50And I just got a telegram saying they want to hire you.
36:53Really?
36:54And the carnival assignment isn't just an article.
36:56There's a whole special edition devoted to it.
36:59They're going to need two writers.
37:00You would be coming with me to Rio.
37:03But I'm the nurse here.
37:05Well, they can get another nurse.
37:07This magazine is offering to pay you to do what you love most.
37:12And the way that you absorb places and experiences, it's a gift.
37:18Oh, I have to admit, it sounds fun.
37:21Yes.
37:21No, but let me give it some thought.
37:22What's there to think about?
37:25Okay.
37:25Okay.
37:29But hold on to it.
37:32Just think of the possibilities.
37:58Can I help you?
38:00Oh, yes.
38:02I need to mail this letter.
38:04Yes, I'm delivering telegrams now, but I'll be sure it's sent out.
38:07Um, it's important.
38:09Please be careful with it.
38:12I promise you, this will get to Henry Gala.
38:22Excuse me.
38:26What is this?
38:30You want to help with the puzzle?
38:32I'm busy right now.
38:33Doing what?
38:34Writing to Santa.
38:35Isn't it a little too late to be mailing letters to the North Pole?
38:38He's not there right now.
38:40Then where is he?
38:41Right here in Brookfield.
38:42Tell them.
38:43You're not positive.
38:45I am.
38:46It's Mr. Stewart.
38:49Mr. Stewart?
38:50We saw him with his reindeers in his wagon.
38:52Have you seen his white beard?
38:54Are you sure it's him?
38:55I can feel it in my bones.
38:58Baby.
38:59Dear Santa, please get me a radio flyer wagon.
39:03I have been good all year.
39:05Well, most of the year.
39:09Do you have more paper?
39:10Come on.
39:11What can I hurt?
39:15Easy.
39:15It's the people.
39:16The people here stick together.
39:19Never was that more true than when my first store burned down.
39:22Have you ever been outside of the territory?
39:24No, I was born and raised in Spring Hill, about 70 miles south of here.
39:29This is as far as I got.
39:31Ah, pardon me, boys.
39:32Joe, I just want to be sure your Santa suit still arrives.
39:37It hasn't.
39:38Bother.
39:41Sam?
39:42Yeah?
39:44Our Santa suit is still in clear water.
39:48Do you want me to pick it up?
39:49That would be fabulous.
39:50Um, I'll take over the car, Liz.
39:53Sure.
39:54Yep.
40:02Hello.
40:03Can you and the kids come out and play?
40:06Sure.
40:08Kids!
40:08So the game is called football.
40:11It's played in colleges around the country.
40:13There's even talk of starting a professional league next year.
40:16What's a professional league?
40:18It means people are paid to play.
40:20Are we going to be paid right now?
40:23No.
40:23This is just for fun.
40:25Aw.
40:26I want to be paid.
40:28So we'll divide into two teams.
40:30And the idea is to score as many touchdowns as possible.
40:33So I'll be one team captain, but we will need another.
40:39Well, we need someone who has a burning desire to win, but who won't cry if they lose.
40:46And a natural leader of young men and women who has a history of starting something from nothing.
40:53And someone who does not expect to be paid.
41:02Hey, look.
41:03We have a volunteer.
41:06We have a volunteer.
41:11Oh.
41:13Hey.
41:15Is that for your family get-together?
41:16We were planning a big Christmas meal.
41:19What about you?
41:20I thought you were headed to Claywater.
41:23My, uh, my plans changed.
41:26Don't have those four-man wages anymore.
41:29Something like that.
41:32Uh, I'll see you around.
41:35Hey, Lucy.
41:39You didn't have to quit.
41:41It was the right thing to do.
41:45I'm not sure I would have stuck my neck out that way.
41:48I guess that's what makes you a great foreman.
41:55Thanks.
42:04I'll have to wait.
42:07No finallagen.
42:09Come here.
42:12Go home.
42:14Go.
42:14Go.
42:15Go.
42:16Go.
42:18Go.
42:20Yes!
42:21Yes!
42:24Oh, here!
42:26That's it! That's it!
42:27Yes!
42:29Good job, boys!
42:31Okay, guys, next touchdown wins,
42:33so we need to stop at the mirror, okay? Okay.
42:36You know I'm gonna intercept this, right?
42:37Oh, big talk from a man who's about
42:39to lose a game. Oh, bigger talk from a woman
42:41who just learned to play. So imagine
42:43your embarrassment when we win.
42:45Okay. Thank you.
42:46Yeah, yeah. You got this.
42:48Don't cry when we win.
42:50Don't do this.
42:52You got this. Yeah!
42:53Okay, okay, okay. Stop!
42:56I got it! I got it!
43:00Touchdown!
43:00Yay!
43:01Are you okay?
43:03We won! We won! We won!
43:05We won!
43:08Very funny!
43:10I guess that was all fun.
43:12Actions speak louder than words.
43:14Will you come play with us again, Mountie Kinslow?
43:16I hope Miss Lillian gives me a rematch.
43:18I suppose it could be arranged.
43:20Well, until then,
43:22have fun.
43:24Bye, guys.
43:25Bye!
43:26Bye!
43:26Bye!
43:29Bye!
43:30Bye!
43:49Bye!
43:56You
