02:07Is that part of the Winter Festival as well?
02:14Hmm, not that I know of.
02:16I'm certain that house wasn't there yesterday.
02:18We should take a look.
02:20But the broth and the tips.
02:25Oh.
02:35Sounds like a party.
02:37One we're not invited to, Hilda.
02:40If they didn't want us to come in, they should have locked the door.
02:51We've been made, lads.
02:52We've been made, lads.
02:52Scatter!
03:03Don't worry.
03:04Don't worry.
03:04We mean you no harm.
03:05We heard a party and we wanted to ask if you were hungry.
03:08We're selling broth.
03:10We want to ask you something.
03:13Are you naughty kids?
03:16No.
03:17I don't think so.
03:18Hold on.
03:19Shouldn't sneak up on people.
03:21Sorry.
03:21It's false of habit.
03:22We've never noticed this house before.
03:25Who are you guys?
03:26I'm Kurt-a-snicker, but you can call me Kurt.
03:31These grumpy fellas and I are the 13 Yule lads.
03:36But there's only seven of you.
03:39We work in shifts.
03:41What sort of work?
03:43We find kids that are naughty.
03:48What do you want with naughty kids?
03:51What's with all the questions?
03:53Uh, she's a naturally curious person.
03:56To her fault.
03:57It's fine, Spurs-like here.
03:59They're good kids.
04:01We can tell them.
04:02Not until they've been triple checked.
04:06Have you ever thrown rocks and or heavy sticks at your neighbour's window?
04:12Oh, I swiped the shilling from your mum's purse.
04:16Or you ever whisper,
04:18I hate you in the ear of your grandma's tallest sheep.
04:23That's oddly specific.
04:26But no.
04:28I don't think we've done any of those things.
04:31Okay, so here's the story.
04:33But you did bring a Troll Rock into the city, Hilda.
04:38David, that was you.
04:40Oh, yeah.
04:41All well tied at the end, though.
04:43No harm done.
04:44Oh.
04:46Oh.
04:46Anyway, we're in charge of making sure kids get candy
04:50on the morning after the Sonstansil tree blooms.
04:53But there's not enough candy for every child,
04:56so we skip the ones who are naughty.
05:00Oh, thank goodness.
05:01If you're good kids, like you say,
05:04then how about you prove it by spotting the naughty kids for us?
05:37I don't know.
05:39Oops.
05:40Sorry, boys.
05:40Shift change.
05:41Oh.
05:42Oh.
05:43Oh.
05:44Sorry.
05:58Why don't you get to rest like the others?
06:00Oh, I was the first lad.
06:02It's kind of like being the oldest brother.
06:05Got to look out for the young ones.
06:07Hey!
06:10Look here, Flags.
06:11We've got work to do.
06:12Split up and look for any naughties,
06:14ne'er-do-wells, and any no-good nicks,
06:16nicking knick-knacks.
06:25Whoa.
06:26Beautiful.
06:27My mum would love this.
06:30Oh, dear.
06:32Tips?
06:33Remember?
06:35Scram, you little rat.
06:39Steer clear of that blue-haired girl.
06:41She's a witch in sheep's clothing.
06:44I'm not afraid of her.
06:45Ow!
06:45You ought to be.
06:51We'll see who's afraid.
06:52Duff'd be good.
06:56This is like a
06:59Tha-thaa!
07:04Tha-thaa!
07:12Thaa-haa!
07:13Tha-thaa!
07:14Thaa-haa!
07:27Roll up, roll up! Get your hot veggie broth here! Hot broth! The secret ingredient is...
07:34Shhh! I was going to say love.
07:37Oh, sorry.
07:43Look, Hilda, there's plenty here for your mum's presents.
07:46That's the power of the sparrowscult vegetable broth.
07:49Careful, Twig, it's still hot.
07:53No luck with the noughties.
07:55Not a one. They hide their tracks well.
07:57We might have to do double shift, lads.
08:01You're not going to finish this, are you?
08:03Er... no.
08:11Just between you and me, I think your candle's gone bad.
08:14Hmm. Would you like to try some vegetable broth instead?
08:17I don't know. I don't usually trust food that isn't candle-based.
08:21Just try it. It's on me.
08:27Oh, my, my, my. That is delightful. It's splendiferous. It's fabby-dabby-doso.
08:34What's in it?
08:36Love?
08:37No, no. Seriously.
08:39Chopped garlic. A pinch of David.
08:43Secret recipe, eh? Fair enough.
08:47We'll take 12 bowls. Six to go.
08:49Great. That'll be... $22.50.
08:53Oh, er, well, er, the thing about that is, um...
08:57Er, er, and I also don't have anything in my boots or my hat.
09:02The lining of my coat is devoid of cash.
09:05And, er, what's this behind your ear?
09:08Nothing.
09:10Fine. We'll give it to you.
09:12Oh, very kind of you.
09:15Noughties you are not.
09:17But, Hilda, we have all day tomorrow to make more tips.
09:26Careful. It's hot.
09:29I landed it right in the bowl.
09:34Get down!
09:36We're under attack!
09:40If you want naughty, you've just got it.
09:43Trevor's the worst.
09:44Oh, is that so?
09:46Maybe not the worst, but he does a lot of mean things.
09:51Oh, no! The broth!
09:54Case in point.
09:55He must get it from his mum.
09:56She's Queen Naughty.
09:58Adults can be naughty.
10:00Why not?
10:01Sometimes.
10:02Absolutely.
10:03This is the best news I've heard in years.
10:07Well, he was a great help.
10:12We've got to stand up to Trevor, or he'll never give us peace.
10:19Stop it, Trevor!
10:21Oh, we're the Sparrow Scouts.
10:23Come by our boring broth made of dirty roots and mold.
10:26Hey, mushrooms are a fungus, not a mold.
10:31I've been hit!
10:36Perhaps that was not the best plan.
10:38Far away!
10:40Surprise!
10:42Run for it!
10:43War!
10:48You naughty savages!
10:51War!
10:52Looks like the naughty kids get snowballs instead of candy.
10:56Serves them right.
11:01So much for getting mum's present.
11:14Hilda, can you please stop leaving used tea bags on the counter?
11:17They stain the tile.
11:19Sorry, Mum. Won't happen again.
11:21That's what you said last time.
11:23She's right, you know.
11:25What, that it stains the tile?
11:26That you leave a mess.
11:28Or messes, plural.
11:30You don't see me leaving stuff laying around.
11:33That's because you take everything?
11:35At least no one has to clean up after him.
11:37Oh, I get so tired of watching your poor mum scrub the counters that I have to take a nap.
11:44Good night, Hilda.
11:46Good night, Mum.
11:48I'm sorry about all the mess around the house.
11:50I'll be better about cleaning up after myself.
11:53Really.
11:53That's good, because if you aren't, Greela will get you.
11:57Who?
11:57I'm only joking.
11:59It's an old winter tale about an ogre who comes after naughty children on the night the Sonstansil tree lights
12:05up.
12:08Do you think I'm naughty?
12:10Of course not, sweetheart.
12:12You're a good girl.
12:13Sure, you do the wrong thing sometimes, but we all do.
12:16That doesn't make us bad people.
12:18It just makes us people.
12:20Hmm.
12:21So tell me more about this Greela ogre.
12:24She's an ogreess, of sorts.
12:26No one knows exactly where she lives, and few have ever seen her face.
12:31But legend says she sniffs out naughty children and she turns them into stew.
12:37That's terrifying.
12:39Tell me more.
12:40It's late.
12:42But I'll find my old book of winter tales and show you tomorrow.
12:45Get some sleep.
13:15ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.
13:16a teabag on the counter too. That's a double standard. Hilda, me doing it once isn't the same
13:21as you doing it dozens of times. Dozens? Hundreds even, according to my ledger.
13:32Long night? They're all long. The other lads are still sleeping. Bums they are.
13:40Hey, Trevor's mum's store is closed. Hmm, that's odd. But I guess that means Trevor won't be here to
13:47pelt us with snowballs again. Hey, our tips. Hilda, there might be enough in here for that gift.
13:53Oh, you don't have to buy me anything. It's for my mum. I want to give her something nice,
13:58even though she irks me sometimes. Like this morning, she went... Oh, she's naughty. It's more
14:04that she gets mad at me for doing the same thing she does sometimes. It's confusing, but it's not
14:09not... Greetings, my fellow Trollbergians. According to our latest gardening calculations,
14:16we expect a full bloom within the next 24 hours. We'll see you all back here for the party. Hooray!
14:25I'm so excited to see all those flowers bloom. There you go.
14:30Almost enough for that snow globe. Where did Kurt go off to?
14:56What's this? It's a present for mum. I was hoping to have enough to get her the real thing, but
15:00if not,
15:01this will have to do. I'm sure she'll love it either way. Hilda, darling, I found that story
15:06about Greela for you. Be out in a minute, Mum. Help me hide this.
15:13Mum? Mum, is everything okay? Mum? Oh, no.
15:25Mum? She wouldn't just leave. What is it, Twig?
15:35It's that Kurtashnik. According to legend, the Yule lads work for the ogress, Greela. All year long,
15:43they work to prepare for when she awakes from her season's long slumber. In order to satisfy her
15:49hunger and not become the meal themselves, they wait until just before she wakes to gather the main
15:54ingredient for her grand feast. Naughty children. Kurt was lying! And now he's got my mum and probably
16:03Trevor too. Oh, no, no. This is all my fault. You know these lads. Yes, and I think I know
16:09where we can
16:10find them. Tonto, we need to hurry. We'll get Frieda and David on the way. Oh, you promised we wouldn't
16:15use the nowhere space for everyday travel. Is it every day that my mum would be captured by a bunch
16:20of hooligans so she could be fed to an ogre? It's not far from an average day.
16:28Well, I'll, um, I'll stay here and, you know, check for stray tea bags.
16:34Let me go! Let me go!
16:39Well done, lads. This should be enough.
16:42We even made it with an hour to spare!
16:47Not so fast, Kurtisneeker!
16:51Should I call you Candlesnatcher?
16:56Me? A Candlesnatcher? Oh, well, that's, that's, that's just, um, that's just, that, that...
17:04Okay, fine. You got me. I am, in fact, naughty.
17:10You're not innocent either, Sverslicker, Kurt Croker, or Stickister, the sheep harasser.
17:17The sheep's starting it. Come on, lads, the gig's up.
17:22Greela caught me nicking Candles and said she was gonna eat me for it.
17:26A bit harsh, I said. She disagreed and told me naughty lads belong in a stew pot.
17:31So I said, I'll find you two naughty lads if you spare me.
17:35Then she tried to cook up me and Kit Croker here, but we promised her four lads if she spared
17:42us.
17:42And, and, and so on and so on, but she never let any one of us go. Greedy one, that
17:47greela is.
17:48She finally got rise to the scheme that they lads 14 through 21.
17:53Been using us as her eyes and ears ever since.
17:55But let's just get one thing straight. We take no pride in our work.
18:01We're bound to it. Cursed by our own naughtiness.
18:09None of you are naughty. You just did some naughty things. Like stuffing my mother in a sack.
18:16But you can make them right. And I've got an idea how.
18:20The veggie broth!
18:21You liked it well enough, right? Why shouldn't Greela?
18:25Well, yeah. Well, yeah, I like it. I say, yeah.
18:31We like you. And we like your broth. So we'll offer you a deal.
18:36Everyone will be safely returned to their homes if...
18:41You show us how to make it.
18:44No deal! We are not revealing the secret ingredient.
18:48No, David. This situation's different.
18:50How come it's okay now?
18:51You've got yourself a deal.
18:56Eric, you've been a good boy this year.
18:59Woo!
18:59Woo!
19:01Woo!
19:04Woo!
19:05Woo!
19:06Woo!
19:08Woo!
19:09Woo!
19:11Woo!
19:14Woo!
19:19Woo!
19:21Woo!
19:25Woo!
19:27Woo!
19:29Woo!
19:31Woo!
19:38Jeee!
19:41Woo!
19:54Everybody ready?
19:56She's coming!
20:37It worked!
20:42Wow!
20:50The tree!
20:52Look!
20:54Beautiful!
21:01If you didn't tell me that they glow, it's beautiful.
21:22Hilda?
21:23Hilda, where are you?
21:26She's safe at the bloom with David and Frieda.
21:45Hilda, over here.
21:48Mum!
21:53I'm sorry, I don't have a...
21:55Hilda!
21:56You forgot this.
21:58I use my tips.
22:00You owe me so much candy.
22:07Happy Sonstensilman.
22:10Oh, Hilda.
22:13It's beautiful.
22:15I love you, too.
22:19I love you.
22:20I love you.
22:36I love you.
22:40I love you, too.
