00:00:04THE END
00:00:15Come on, Mel!
00:00:18No!
00:00:19I was too early in the morning for this!
00:00:23Just a few more minutes!
00:00:25Seriously, Emma?
00:00:27I can't believe that I let you drag me out here at the crack of dawn.
00:00:32What do you think you're training for? The Olympics?
00:00:35I wanted to hang out with you and this is the only time I could squeeze it in!
00:00:38First of all, this is more like torture than a hangout.
00:00:43Now, meeting me at some cute wine bar is a hangout.
00:00:47But you never get to hang because all you do is work.
00:00:50There's a last time you just relaxed and just chilled.
00:00:54Forget about the last time you had a date.
00:00:57Date? Who even has time to meet anyone?
00:01:01You know what my work is like.
00:01:03One slip up in the boys club will eat me alive.
00:01:05And that's what I mean.
00:01:07Do you even like working there?
00:01:09I like being able to play in the big sand pit.
00:01:11I like it when I win the account.
00:01:14I know you like the chase.
00:01:16But there's more to life than the grind.
00:01:19Speaking of which, I've got a ball after this.
00:01:22Big meeting today.
00:01:24What's so important?
00:01:25The partners are announcing who they're promoting
00:01:28before we break up for Christmas.
00:01:30And I think I'm going to nail it with my presentation.
00:01:34Plus, my numbers are there.
00:01:36And I've put in double the hours of everyone else.
00:01:38I just worry that you've put too much pressure on yourself.
00:01:42Don't worry.
00:01:44Today's going to be my day.
00:01:45Oh my God.
00:02:04So, in conclusion, as natural resources will only continue to be further strained,
00:02:10companies will be forced to change the way they do business to be profitable.
00:02:14We can start with a complete revision of our supply chain.
00:02:18Emma, you do realise that this is going the complete opposite direction to profit?
00:02:24And I'm sure you've let Frank and the board know that this is actually going to increase costs?
00:02:28Is this true?
00:02:30Initially, yes.
00:02:31I know.
00:02:33You see, the shareholders, they're not going to like that.
00:02:37And I think I speak for everybody in this room when I say,
00:02:41we need a better solution.
00:02:43I think if you look at the long term...
00:02:45Thanks, Emma. We'll take your suggestions under consideration.
00:02:48Now, for our last order of business before we break for Christmas.
00:02:53Which, by the way, just because you're not in the office doesn't mean you can stop checking your email.
00:02:57Now, as you know, we've been looking to fill the position of director of sales.
00:03:04And the board has come to a decision.
00:03:07Tough decision.
00:03:09Lots of qualified candidates.
00:03:11But one of you really stood out.
00:03:14Putting in the time and really contributing.
00:03:19Congratulations, Craig.
00:03:26We look forward to watching you rise in the company.
00:03:29Thank you so much, sir.
00:03:30Hey, we still have a bit of cold this weekend?
00:03:34Wouldn't miss it.
00:03:36Congratulations, Craig.
00:03:38I'm sure you'll deliver everything they've come to expect from you.
00:03:42Cheers, Anne.
00:03:43And Frank.
00:03:44Thank you so much.
00:03:47Consider this my notice.
00:03:49Oh, don't be so rash, Emma.
00:03:52I'm sure another opportunity will come along.
00:03:54Maybe. Maybe not.
00:03:56I'm just not willing to wait around anymore.
00:04:00Look, I appreciate having had the chance to work for this company, but...
00:04:04it's time for me to go.
00:04:23I need you to go out of town.
00:04:26Get this handled, huh?
00:04:29Counting on you, Oliver.
00:04:33Have I ever let you down, Larry?
00:04:41You get the owner...
00:04:49to sign away the Holiday Inn.
00:04:54Or you might not want to come back.
00:04:59The Holiday Inn. What are you calling that?
00:05:02Seriously?
00:05:03What do you mean, don't come back?
00:05:06What exactly are you trying to say?
00:05:08Well, I'm not trying.
00:05:10I'm telling you flat out, this deal has gone on way too long.
00:05:14The investors are getting nervous.
00:05:16The partners are looking for someone to...
00:05:19How exactly do I fit into this playing game?
00:05:21I like you.
00:05:23But I'm not far from retirement,
00:05:25and I am not going to take the fall for this.
00:05:37For starters, you certainly kicked off your holiday with a bang.
00:05:41Yeah. No kidding.
00:05:43Oh, my...
00:05:45I don't know what came over me.
00:05:47I've just had enough.
00:05:48For a girl that plans every second of her life,
00:05:50you really jumped the gun with this one.
00:05:53What are you going to do?
00:05:54It's hardly the best time of year to be unemployed.
00:05:57Maybe I should call Frank, ask for my job back.
00:05:59Don't you dare.
00:06:01Admit it.
00:06:02You hated that job.
00:06:04Didn't have time for anything.
00:06:05Friends.
00:06:07Romance.
00:06:08Pedicure, even.
00:06:10Letting your life pass you by.
00:06:11Why don't you do something to clear your head
00:06:14before you make any more big decisions?
00:06:16Why don't you go see your dad?
00:06:18I haven't been home for Christmas in years.
00:06:21Never had time.
00:06:22Well, it would seem that you do have time now.
00:06:25I don't know.
00:06:25I should be looking for another job.
00:06:27You just said no one hires during Christmas.
00:06:30So you might as well spend your time
00:06:33finding a job you actually like doing.
00:06:35What would that be?
00:06:37I don't even know.
00:06:39It's been years since I've actually thought about
00:06:42doing something I enjoy.
00:06:46Yeah, maybe you're right.
00:06:48Some fresh air.
00:06:49Some time with dad.
00:06:51Exactly.
00:06:52It's exactly what you need.
00:06:57Let's get away this Christmas.
00:07:01Just the two of us.
00:07:05Pack up all your trouble.
00:07:09Away from all the fuss.
00:07:13Outside the snow keeps falling.
00:07:18A chill is in the air.
00:07:22Let's trade it off for a tropical shore.
00:07:26And Christmas without a care.
00:07:31Let's...
00:07:33Oh!
00:07:34Oh, no.
00:07:36No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
00:07:49Please work.
00:07:50Please work.
00:07:53Let's take a look.
00:08:04I don't know.
00:08:30I don't know.
00:08:59Thank you for stopping.
00:09:01You're kind of hard to miss.
00:09:03I just didn't know when or if another car would come along.
00:09:09Yeah, not much traffic around here, huh?
00:09:11Yeah, this is pretty much rush hour.
00:09:13Looks like you need some help.
00:09:15Need is a strong word. I'm sure I could handle it.
00:09:19Look, it's up to you, but you're the one that waves me down?
00:09:25I mean, if you feel like it.
00:09:32Not a problem.
00:09:41There we are. Good as new.
00:09:43I take it back. I'm glad you turned up when you did.
00:09:46Well, lucky for you.
00:09:47One of my specialities is rescuing damsels in distress.
00:09:50I don't think I needed to be rescued.
00:09:52I'm sure I'd have figured it out eventually.
00:09:54I'm sure you were perfectly capable.
00:09:56But there's nothing wrong with letting someone help you if you need it.
00:09:59Guess I'm not used to asking.
00:10:01Sometimes it takes more courage just to ask.
00:10:06Okay.
00:10:07Well, anyway, thanks for everything.
00:10:11I bet we've been hitting the road.
00:10:15But seriously, I do appreciate it.
00:10:17My pleasure.
00:10:24Merry Christmas.
00:10:26Oh, yeah, that's right.
00:10:28Merry Christmas to you too.
00:10:54Merry Christmas to you too.
00:11:07Merry Christmas.
00:11:08You're home!
00:11:11Oh, I've missed you, Dad.
00:11:16Oh, you too, Mr. Jingle.
00:11:19And we've missed you too.
00:11:21I can't remember the last time I spent Christmas without a girl.
00:11:26No, we should have been back more. I'm sorry.
00:11:27Oh, no, I didn't mean it to sound like that.
00:11:30I'm just happy that you're home.
00:11:31It means the world.
00:11:33Me too.
00:11:34Um, is that all you've got?
00:11:36Oh, I can't stay long.
00:11:38I've got to get back and find a new job.
00:11:40Oh, right.
00:11:42Well, at least stay long enough to unwind from the stress of work and the big city, you know.
00:11:48Slow down and smell the roses.
00:11:49Well, I can't say that a change of pace won't be welcome, that's for sure.
00:11:54Dad?
00:11:54Yeah?
00:11:55What happened to the snowman out the front?
00:11:58Well, I don't put everything out like I used to it.
00:12:01Well, it's a lot of work for one old man.
00:12:04You should love that as a kid.
00:12:07All right.
00:12:08Let's see if we can find it in the attic.
00:12:11Come on.
00:12:12Come on, Mr. Juggles.
00:12:14Here.
00:12:20Here we are.
00:12:26Oh, it's so good to be home.
00:12:32Dad?
00:12:32Hmm?
00:12:33Where's the tree?
00:12:36Oh, I thought I'd skip it this year.
00:12:39But you love Christmas.
00:12:41You used to do it up so big.
00:12:44What's going on?
00:12:45Is everything okay?
00:12:46Well, like I said, I didn't get round to much decorating this year.
00:12:50I didn't dream.
00:12:51You'd be coming.
00:12:53It seemed rather pointless just for myself.
00:12:56What about the guests?
00:12:58They used to come every year just to see what new decorations you'd added.
00:13:04Where are the guests?
00:13:07Um, well, you see, the, um, the thing is, business has been rather down this last couple of years.
00:13:17How down?
00:13:19Well, at the moment.
00:13:22It's just you and me.
00:13:24Look, why don't you go and settle into your old room?
00:13:28Mm-hmm.
00:13:30And then come down and we'll have a talk.
00:13:33Okay.
00:13:34Mm-hmm.
00:13:34I want the whole story.
00:13:45Here we are.
00:13:48Well, you've always made the best hot chocolate.
00:13:53Well, it's your mother's recipe.
00:13:55Yeah, but you always gave me extra marshmallows.
00:13:58Sometimes it's the little things that count.
00:14:02Speaking of little things, what's been going on?
00:14:07Are there really no other guests?
00:14:09Well, it's not exactly like the good old days.
00:14:13Sometimes I think one of those computer sites might be a good idea.
00:14:19Dad, do you still not have a website?
00:14:21Huh?
00:14:23We need to get an online presence for the inn.
00:14:26Maybe I can help you whilst I'm home.
00:14:29Do you think it would help?
00:14:31And hardly any Christmas decorations.
00:14:33You always went over the top with that.
00:14:35Well, ever since your mum...
00:14:39It's been hard, I'm sorry.
00:14:42Your mother brought such joy to the festivities.
00:14:46And I haven't exactly been around.
00:14:51Something else I ought to tell you.
00:14:54I've been struggling with the workload here.
00:14:57I can't fill the rooms, can't pay the bills.
00:15:00Sometimes it's hard enough just to keep my head above water.
00:15:03Dad, no.
00:15:06It's not all bad.
00:15:09I love this place, but maybe I should retire.
00:15:15Find somewhere less demanding.
00:15:20But this is your life.
00:15:22What would you do?
00:15:25There's a property developer who wants to buy the land
00:15:28and build a resort and conference centre.
00:15:33They keep pushing, but I'm not sure.
00:15:36That's the worst idea I've ever heard of.
00:15:39The holiday inn will be gone forever.
00:15:42They've come in with a low offer,
00:15:43but so far I've said no,
00:15:46but I'm not sure how long I can hold out.
00:15:48Dad, we can't let this happen.
00:15:50Well, I might have no choice.
00:15:52I haven't got the money or the energy
00:15:55to keep the place going.
00:15:58Look, I love this place too.
00:16:01I'll think of something.
00:16:03I promise.
00:16:04Yeah, yeah.
00:16:06Let's get that Christmas spirit back into you.
00:16:10What?
00:16:10Come on.
00:16:11I'll get you a coat.
00:16:12Oh, my God.
00:16:26I've been down here for ages.
00:16:28I haven't yet back.
00:16:30It's all looking lovely.
00:16:33Wow.
00:16:34I used to love this place.
00:16:36We used to come nearly every day after school.
00:16:38As I recall,
00:16:40most of your pocket money ended up in here.
00:16:42It was the perfect hangout,
00:16:44plus Molly made the best coffees.
00:16:47I wonder what ever happened to her.
00:16:49Nothing happened to her.
00:16:50She's still here.
00:16:53Dad, we have to go in and say hi.
00:16:55Oui.
00:16:57I do bump into Molly occasionally, but I...
00:17:00I definitely have to go.
00:17:02Come on, I'll buy you a coffee.
00:17:04I don't know anything about these fancy coffees.
00:17:07Don't worry.
00:17:08I'll look after you.
00:17:19Emma!
00:17:20Oh!
00:17:23What a lovely surprise.
00:17:26It's been way too long.
00:17:28I know, Molly.
00:17:29How are you doing, Ben?
00:17:31Haven't seen you in a while.
00:17:33Oh, you know, Molly.
00:17:34It's the same as always.
00:17:35It's good to see you.
00:17:37Both of you.
00:17:39Now, what can I get you?
00:17:41Do you remember my usual?
00:17:42How could I forget?
00:17:44You'd order the same thing every day.
00:17:46Pumpkin spice latte.
00:17:48But if you're feeling adventurous,
00:17:50I've got something new.
00:17:52Do you want to try?
00:17:53Is it good?
00:17:54Really good.
00:17:56Caramel apple spice with cinnamon dolce
00:17:59topped with whipped cream and caramel sauce.
00:18:02That sounds amazing.
00:18:04It's like childhood in a cup.
00:18:09Are they still doing this?
00:18:11I used to love going to the festival.
00:18:12It was so much fun.
00:18:14Well, if you liked it before,
00:18:15come and see what we've added.
00:18:17Brings in quite the crowd compared to the old days.
00:18:20Maybe I'll go and check it out tomorrow.
00:18:22Then stop by the baked goods stand.
00:18:24It's a fundraiser for the library,
00:18:25and I've got a few of my prize-winning cakes there.
00:18:28I wouldn't miss that for the world.
00:18:31Go and have a look round the shop.
00:18:32You might find a few new goodies.
00:18:35They really have expanded.
00:18:37Dad, would you mind waiting for the order?
00:18:39I want to see what cool gifts Molly's got in the shop.
00:18:41Okay, I'll be right here
00:18:42trying to work out what to order.
00:18:45Oh, sorry, I've got...
00:18:47Don't worry.
00:18:48I'll take good care of you, Dad.
00:18:49You go shop.
00:18:54Well, there's quite a lot there, isn't there?
00:18:59To-to-to-to-to-to?
00:19:00Macchiato.
00:19:01Macchiato.
00:19:01Good, yes.
00:19:02Yes, yes.
00:19:32Excuse me, sir.
00:19:33Sorry.
00:19:33I'm so sorry.
00:19:35You again?
00:19:37What are you doing here?
00:19:38You following me?
00:19:39I could ask you the same question.
00:19:42No stalking today.
00:19:43I'm just here visiting my dad.
00:19:49How about we start this whole thing over?
00:19:51Hi.
00:19:52I'm Oliver.
00:19:55Emma.
00:19:58So, are you from around here, or...?
00:20:01Yeah, I grew up here.
00:20:03I moved out after college.
00:20:04I take it you're not from around these parts.
00:20:06No, I'm just here for a few days on a work assignment.
00:20:09Seems like a nice place to grow up.
00:20:11Yeah.
00:20:12I mean, you know what it's like when you're a kid.
00:20:14You want to be so exciting.
00:20:16This place can be a...
00:20:19Doesn't seem all that quiet to me.
00:20:21I think the definition of quiet changes when you're an adult.
00:20:24Now I'd call it charming.
00:20:26Plus, everyone's coming in for the Christmas festival.
00:20:29Ah, that's good to know.
00:20:32Why is that good to know?
00:20:34Like I said, it's a working weekend for me.
00:20:37It's good to know a little bit more about the area.
00:20:40Well, I can give you some pointers.
00:20:42Where are you staying?
00:20:42I'm still working out the details on that.
00:20:45Well, you should stay at my dad's place.
00:20:48It's practically a historic landmark at this point.
00:20:51It's called the Holiday Inn.
00:20:54Sorry, sorry.
00:20:55That's your dad's place.
00:20:57Have you heard of it?
00:20:58Um, yeah, well, it's, um, yeah, it's kind of on my radar.
00:21:03Are you one of those travel writers?
00:21:05Oh, you should definitely come and experience the inn.
00:21:08Get a feel for the place.
00:21:10A good writer would be great for business.
00:21:12We could really do with the press.
00:21:14I don't think you understand it.
00:21:16Oh, please.
00:21:17My dad would be so grateful if you're doing a story.
00:21:21Call it a favour for the help of the tyre.
00:21:24Let me think about it, okay?
00:21:27Okay.
00:21:28I promise you, you won't find a more charming place.
00:21:33That looks antique.
00:21:35Are you going to get it?
00:21:37Maybe you know the time.
00:21:57Lisa!
00:21:59What's all this for?
00:22:01We're making cookies.
00:22:03Cookies?
00:22:04Oh, there goes my diet.
00:22:07It's Christmas.
00:22:08You have to have cookies.
00:22:10Have to.
00:22:11It's tradition.
00:22:16Where's your mixer?
00:22:18Um, mixer.
00:22:27Yeah.
00:22:28Merry Christmas.
00:22:31Hey, Larry.
00:22:33Oh, just checking in on your progress.
00:22:36Come on, man.
00:22:36I've only just got here.
00:22:38No time to waste.
00:22:39Have you located our target yet?
00:22:41Actually, you're not going to believe it.
00:22:43I've met the daughter of the owner.
00:22:45She thinks I should stay at the inn.
00:22:47Oh.
00:22:48You're kidding.
00:22:49Hey?
00:22:49How'd you swing that?
00:22:50Oh, long story.
00:22:51Obviously, she doesn't know what I'm here for.
00:22:53She thinks I'm a travel writer.
00:22:54Great cover.
00:22:56Yeah, well, pump them for information and then spring the papers on them.
00:23:00Ah, I don't know.
00:23:02I don't think I should stay there.
00:23:04It seems wrong.
00:23:06And that's why I sent my best shark to get the job done.
00:23:12She seems like a nice person.
00:23:14Look, I didn't send you there to make friends.
00:23:17Get the job done and then get back here to celebrate the bonus you're about to earn.
00:23:26This was always my favourite.
00:23:27The best bit was decorating them with all different colours of icing and sprinkles.
00:23:34Oh, I remember watching you and your mother making cookies.
00:23:38Used to love eating the dough.
00:23:41As I recall, you ate more dough than actual cookies.
00:23:45Guilty as charged.
00:23:51You expecting anyone?
00:24:11Yes.
00:24:14Yeah, I'm in need of a room.
00:24:21I heard that you might have a spare.
00:24:27Ah.
00:24:29I'll, uh, check the reservations.
00:24:32See if we're having it.
00:24:41I thought you said this place was empty.
00:24:43Just go with it.
00:24:45Dad's got his pride.
00:24:46Another favour?
00:24:48Well, you can take your chances finding somewhere else miles away on such a mountain.
00:24:55You're in luck, sir.
00:24:57We have a cancellation.
00:25:00Oh, great.
00:25:01I'll take it.
00:25:02Thank you, Mr. Um...
00:25:04Oliver, please.
00:25:06Just call me Oliver.
00:25:07Well, Oliver.
00:25:09Go upstairs.
00:25:10Settle in.
00:25:11Come down and join us by the fire for some refreshments.
00:25:14Oh, no, I wouldn't want you to go to any trouble.
00:25:16No, no, I insist.
00:25:17You're a guest.
00:25:19Please treat this place as if it's your home.
00:25:42Oliver, come in.
00:25:44Sit down, sir.
00:25:46There.
00:25:49What's that?
00:25:51Mould cider.
00:25:52It's been a holiday tradition at the inn since...
00:25:55Since I can remember.
00:25:57Yeah.
00:25:57Mom used to keep a pot warming on the stove for the guests.
00:26:00And there's one thing that goes extremely well with the cider.
00:26:04Dad!
00:26:05You're supposed to wait until they're decorated.
00:26:07Just one...
00:26:08Or two.
00:26:09Won't do any harm.
00:26:10Besides, you've made enough for an army.
00:26:12And if you're not careful, I'll end up looking even more like Santa Claus.
00:26:16Ho, ho, ho.
00:26:19Consider it quality control.
00:26:20I mean, you don't seem like the type of girl that wants to be known for a substandard baking.
00:26:26Besides...
00:26:28This one's defective.
00:26:30It's missing a leg.
00:26:34Fine.
00:26:34I give up.
00:26:35You win this one.
00:26:36But you should know I'm used to getting my way.
00:26:38Why am I not surprised?
00:26:40By the way, you've already made three batches.
00:26:42Why are you making so many?
00:26:43Remember when Molly was telling us about the Christmas festival?
00:26:47Yeah.
00:26:47Well, I wanted to contribute some cookies to the fundraiser for the library.
00:26:51Oh, that's really nice of you.
00:26:54The library needs all the help you can get.
00:26:56But there's a catch.
00:26:58In order to get them decorated so I can bring them tomorrow...
00:27:02Ah, let me guess.
00:27:04That's right.
00:27:05I'm going to need some volunteer cookie labour to get them decorated.
00:27:08Heavens to Betsy, is that the time?
00:27:10Oh, come on, Dad.
00:27:11It'll be fun.
00:27:12You remember your mother never let me anywhere near the decorating.
00:27:15He can't be that bad.
00:27:17No, he's right.
00:27:18I'd forgotten.
00:27:20They'd end up looking more like a Picasso than a gingerbread bag.
00:27:23So, I'm off the hook and off to bed.
00:27:26You can stick around and watch if you want.
00:27:28No, no, no.
00:27:28You two stay.
00:27:31I'll see you in the morning.
00:27:32Good night, Emma.
00:27:34Oh, it's lovely to have you back.
00:27:37Me too.
00:27:37Good night, Oliver.
00:27:39Night.
00:27:42So, what I'm hearing is that you're asking for help.
00:27:46I prefer to think of it as an exchange.
00:27:49How do you think?
00:27:51Well, if you're writing a travel article on the town in the inn,
00:27:55you're going to need a tour guide.
00:27:56Someone who really knows the place and the people.
00:28:00Well, basically me.
00:28:04You've really got this all figured out, don't you?
00:28:06If you think about it, it's more like I'm doing you the favour.
00:28:10Not that I'm keeping score or anything.
00:28:12Oh, of course not.
00:28:14So, do we have a deal?
00:28:16You drive a hard bargain.
00:28:19Fine.
00:28:20It's a deal.
00:28:28Where do we start?
00:28:43So, what kinds of Christmas traditions does your family have?
00:28:47Nothing much, really.
00:28:49You've never decorated the trees together?
00:28:52Nope.
00:28:54My mum did have this artificial tree that she never undecorated.
00:28:59What?
00:29:00Yeah, she strung it with lights and put all the decorations on it
00:29:04and then wrapped it in a blanket and kept it in a cupboard under the stairs.
00:29:07Every year, she'd just bring it out and plug it in.
00:29:10Ta-da!
00:29:11New Year's Day, she'd wrap it back up in the blanket and put it straight back in the cupboards.
00:29:16Well, I suppose that was a practical approach.
00:29:19So, you've never gone in search of the perfect Christmas tree or any of the real traditions?
00:29:25No, for me, Christmas has always just kind of been another day.
00:29:29We got a couple of presents, though.
00:29:33I can't imagine that.
00:29:35It was okay.
00:29:35I guess you can't really miss something you've never had.
00:29:40Besides, it appears the Holiday Inn is missing a Christmas tree.
00:29:45Kind of you to notice, and I plan to remedy that as soon as I can.
00:29:52I can't say becoming a professional baker is in my future, but overall, not bad.
00:29:59You did great, and I'd never have got them finished in time if it wasn't for you, so thanks.
00:30:05Happy to trade some cookie labour for a personal tour of the town.
00:30:09Okay.
00:30:10Well, to sweeten that deal, I've got an idea.
00:30:13I've got something special I want to show you.
00:30:15Oh, I don't know.
00:30:17It is kind of getting late.
00:30:19You sound like an old man.
00:30:21Get in your coat.
00:30:23Yes, ma'am.
00:30:24Far bit from me to argue with such conviction.
00:30:33What's that?
00:30:34You'll see.
00:30:42I didn't know stargazing was a typical Christmas tradition.
00:30:51When I was a little girl, every Christmas Eve, Dad would take me out.
00:30:57And we'd watch for hours, hoping for a glimpse of Father Christmas on his sleigh.
00:31:04In summer, you'd teach me about the constellations.
00:31:07Congratulations.
00:31:08Here, let me take a look.
00:31:18Pretty cool, right?
00:31:21Yeah.
00:31:22You see three stars in the right?
00:31:25That's Orion's belt.
00:31:27Two of the brightest stars in the sky are in the Orion constellation.
00:31:31I didn't know that.
00:31:35You really know your stuff.
00:31:37I've got Dad to thank for that.
00:31:39It took me years to work out that all those years of teaching were just his way of spending
00:31:44time with me.
00:31:54Oh, hey, you've got to see this.
00:31:57Quick, close your eyes.
00:31:58Make a wish.
00:31:59Oh, I...
00:31:59Just do it.
00:32:25I don't know.
00:32:28So, what did you wish for?
00:32:31I can't tell you that, otherwise it won't come true.
00:32:36It's...
00:32:39She...
00:32:46She...
00:32:46Oh, it's freezing.
00:32:49I'm gonna head back in.
00:32:53Hey, thanks.
00:32:56I'll put this on my list.
00:32:58What list?
00:33:00New Christmas traditions.
00:33:20Oh, good morning, everyone.
00:33:21Oh, good morning.
00:33:22How did you sleep?
00:33:23Oh, like a rock.
00:33:25There you are.
00:33:26It must be all the fresh air.
00:33:27It's a good thing, because we've got a busy day ahead of us.
00:33:30Emma tells me you're writing an article about the town and the inn.
00:33:35Well, that could have helped to attract more tourists.
00:33:38Yeah, I...
00:33:39It's definitely a working vacation.
00:33:41Well, it couldn't come at a better time.
00:33:43We need to publish it to get this place back on its feet.
00:33:46You're a good man.
00:33:48Thank you, Oliver.
00:33:50Actually, I'm not really a...
00:33:52So, your cookies are done.
00:33:53Would you be ready in five?
00:33:58Sure thing, boss.
00:33:59Boss?
00:34:00It's kind of like that.
00:34:02Dad?
00:34:03You sure you don't want to come with us?
00:34:05No, I'll see you at the festival later.
00:34:06I've got some errands to run.
00:34:08Okay.
00:34:09Well, do you want to meet us somewhere?
00:34:11I'll find you.
00:34:13How are you going to find us?
00:34:15Well, it's not a big place.
00:34:16Well, wouldn't it just be easier to find a time and place to meet?
00:34:20If you have to know, I shall be at Molly's helping her to set up.
00:34:24Molly, eh?
00:34:26She talked me into it yesterday when we were at the shop.
00:34:29You know she's got a crush on you.
00:34:31Don't be silly.
00:34:33I've known her for years.
00:34:35We're just friends.
00:34:36I know a crush when I see one.
00:34:38Oh, I'm far too old.
00:34:40I'm far too old for this sort of thing.
00:34:43You're only too old if you believe it.
00:34:45You might find out you like her too if you give it a chance.
00:34:48What's the harm?
00:34:49As they say, if it isn't broke, don't fix it.
00:35:05What's a city boy like you doing with a truck like that?
00:35:07Oh, it's a present to myself on my first race.
00:35:10Yeah.
00:35:12I used to be driving around in one of the kids.
00:35:15It's nice and something that brings back memory.
00:35:18So, but we've dropped the cookies first and then go full festival mode.
00:35:23So what does that involve?
00:35:23Well, the festival is one of the biggest tourist draws we have.
00:35:27The town really pulls out all the stops.
00:35:30Let's do everything.
00:35:33Everything?
00:35:34Like what?
00:35:36Like every single thing.
00:35:39Sounds like an adventure.
00:35:41You don't know what you're in for.
00:35:42So.
00:36:09All right.
00:36:24Bye-bye!
00:36:51What have you got there?
00:36:52Just some cookies?
00:36:54I think they're pretty good.
00:36:55I can confirm that.
00:36:56They're very good.
00:36:58Emma?
00:36:59Emma Farley, I haven't seen you in forever.
00:37:03I always ask your father about you.
00:37:05Hi, Jen.
00:37:06Yeah, I'm back to see my dad for Christmas.
00:37:08And who's this?
00:37:09I hadn't heard that you had a boyfriend.
00:37:12In fact, I specifically remember someone saying how sad that you don't have a husband or boyfriend or anything.
00:37:20Wow.
00:37:22Didn't realize that was such a relevant topic of conversation around here.
00:37:25You know how it is.
00:37:27We know everything about the ones that still live here.
00:37:30You're our little shooting star that made it out.
00:37:33Hi, I'm Jen.
00:37:36Nice to meet the leading man of the former senior head girl.
00:37:39We're not actually...
00:37:42I'm Oliver.
00:37:43Hi.
00:37:44Hep girl.
00:37:45Maybe you never told me that.
00:37:46What are the secrets that you've been keeping from me?
00:37:49Anyway, Jen, these are my cookies.
00:37:51Our.
00:37:52Our cookies.
00:37:54So good to see you.
00:37:56Hopefully.
00:37:56Maybe I'll bump into you before I leave.
00:37:59Hopefully.
00:37:59That would be so amazing.
00:38:05Why did you do that?
00:38:06Why did you let me?
00:38:08I don't know.
00:38:10I guess I just didn't want her to...
00:38:13To think that you didn't have a boyfriend.
00:38:15I mean, I really don't care about that.
00:38:17So why then?
00:38:19It just seemed easier than getting into a big discussion.
00:38:23Oh, this is a small town and Jen has a big job.
00:38:27Ah, let me guess.
00:38:28She's the equivalent of a town crier.
00:38:30Very much.
00:38:32Well, she's probably going to straighten this out.
00:38:34Or not.
00:38:36Word's going to be all over town.
00:38:38It probably already is.
00:38:40You're only here for a few days, right?
00:38:42Yeah.
00:38:43Then give them a better story than your solitary life.
00:38:46All right.
00:38:47It's not that bad.
00:38:48I just work a lot.
00:38:51At least I did.
00:38:52Did?
00:38:54Yeah, I quit my job.
00:38:56Long story.
00:38:57Look, I'm in the same boat, Emma.
00:39:00I don't have much time for a personal life either.
00:39:02Look, we don't have to make a big deal of it.
00:39:04Just go along for the ride.
00:39:08Fine.
00:39:09Fine.
00:39:10But I'm in charge of this fake relationship.
00:39:13Never doubt you that for a second.
00:39:15Okay.
00:39:16First up, this way.
00:39:19Yes, boss.
00:39:42Let's try a good deal.
00:39:48Let's see.
00:39:53That's great.
00:40:00Here comes by two cameras.
00:40:01Cool.
00:40:08Pay分!
00:40:18You ready to get your skates, huh?
00:40:20Oh, I don't know. I haven't skated since I was a kid.
00:40:23I'm really not very good.
00:40:25Are you chickening out? I wouldn't have expected that from you.
00:40:28I wouldn't exactly call it chickening out.
00:40:30I'm alright. Damage control.
00:40:32Oh, come on. It'll be like riding a bike. It'll all come back.
00:40:35Fine. But I'm holding you personally responsible for my well-being.
00:40:45I don't know.
00:41:15I don't know.
00:41:18I don't know.
00:41:23I don't know.
00:41:25I don't know.
00:41:38Take it slowly, get your balance.
00:41:43I don't know about balance, I'm just trying not to face plant the ice.
00:42:00Hold on to my arm.
00:42:03And get a feel.
00:42:12You didn't break!
00:42:15The job was very good.
00:42:18Promise me one thing.
00:42:19What's that?
00:42:20If you go down, you cannot save anything.
00:42:23I can't make any promises. I do my best.
00:42:30Okay, I think I've got it.
00:42:34Yep, yep.
00:42:44Show off.
00:42:45What?
00:42:47Oh, I used to be so much better. I'm so out of practice.
00:42:50Oh, well, right now you're just a blatant reminder of my lack of ability.
00:42:55Stick around long enough, you might get some ice skating skills of your own.
00:42:59I'm not sure I'll be able to get there in just a couple of days.
00:43:02You seem like the kind of guy who'd do anything if you put your mind to it.
00:43:06I'd like to think so, but this challenge seems a bit out of my comfort zone.
00:43:11Oh, it's good to get out of your comfort zone.
00:43:20I guess I'm the one out of my comfort zone now.
00:43:30Time's up.
00:43:31Please make your way off the ice.
00:43:37Did you hurt anything?
00:43:40Only my pride.
00:43:42Let's take what's left of it and get out of here.
00:44:03Do you want to go in and warm up with a coffee?
00:44:06No, there's an idea.
00:44:08Are you not having fun?
00:44:11Oh, no, I'm kidding.
00:44:14Look, today's been amazing.
00:44:16I just thought it'd be nice to sit down for a minute and nurse my bruised ego.
00:44:21You're a tough lady to keep up with.
00:44:24I'm just really excited to be here.
00:44:31After you.
00:44:34Ah, you finally showed up.
00:44:36I told Ben you'd be here sooner or later.
00:44:39Speaking of Dad, have you seen him?
00:44:40He was supposed to meet us.
00:44:42Been here all day just as well, too.
00:44:45We've been really busy.
00:44:46I couldn't have managed without him.
00:44:48Woo!
00:44:52He actually seems like he's enjoying himself.
00:44:54He is!
00:44:55Now, what can I get you to?
00:44:57Something pepperminty?
00:44:58I've got just the thing.
00:45:00What about you?
00:45:01Today's all been about getting out of my comfort zone.
00:45:04So, why don't you surprise me?
00:45:06Oh, who doesn't love a surprise, eh?
00:45:09What are you up to, Dad?
00:45:11Got a new job?
00:45:11Hm?
00:45:13Well, I can think of worse ideas.
00:45:14Mind you, the boss is a bit of a taskmaster.
00:45:18But pay you?
00:45:19Mind you, I'm enjoying myself enormously.
00:45:22Well, maybe I'll hire you back for another day.
00:45:25Hire?
00:45:25You mean this job pays?
00:45:28All the coffee and pastries you want.
00:45:30Along with my excellent company.
00:45:32Where do I sign up?
00:45:35Here you go.
00:45:38Sorry.
00:45:40Not a problem at all?
00:45:42Well, it shouldn't be a problem.
00:45:44What does that mean?
00:45:46Well, I've been hearing all day what a lovely couple you two make.
00:45:51See, I told you word would be around town.
00:45:53This is Jen's doing.
00:45:55I shouldn't worry about it, Emma.
00:45:57They'll be talking about something else tomorrow.
00:45:59Like you said, you're only here for a couple of days.
00:46:02It takes too much energy to put out a gossip fire.
00:46:04Sometimes it can make it worse.
00:46:06I suppose you're right.
00:46:07We'll be going our separate ways in a few days anyway, so no one will know the difference.
00:46:12Let's get going.
00:46:13I thought we were going to hang out here for a bit, you know, and sit down.
00:46:17Yeah, but there's something that I want to show you.
00:46:19Besides, I think Dad's break might be over.
00:46:22And she's right.
00:46:23Back to work, Hugh.
00:46:25And no more muffins.
00:46:26Oh, I can't have that.
00:46:28See you two at home.
00:46:29Bye.
00:46:29Bye.
00:46:30Talk talk.
00:46:31Come on.
00:46:31Talk talk.
00:46:33They're cute, you know.
00:46:35Two?
00:46:36Your dad and mine.
00:46:37Oh.
00:46:38I just think yesterday I heard him say that they're just old friends.
00:46:42No chance of romance.
00:46:43And now...
00:46:45Now they're acting like a couple of teenagers.
00:46:47I'm not sure I'd go that far, but...
00:46:53...lip so fast.
00:46:56Must be some sort of...
00:47:00...miracle.
00:47:06I think...
00:47:09Stop.
00:47:18Wow.
00:47:23You are witnessing...
00:47:26...the annual parade of Christmas trees.
00:47:29People around here get super into it.
00:47:33I can see that.
00:47:35It's how the festival started.
00:47:37Just a few people with a few trees.
00:47:41And every year it kept growing.
00:47:42And now...
00:47:43I had no idea when I came here that...
00:47:46...this town was going to surprise me like this.
00:47:49This is my favourite place in the world.
00:47:54I used to come here when I was a kid.
00:47:57When I wanted to be alone and think.
00:48:00The guy had broken up with me or...
00:48:03...hadn't passed a test.
00:48:09When mum died.
00:48:10When mum died.
00:48:14This park has got me through...
00:48:17...some of the hardest times in my life.
00:48:21Some of the most important too.
00:48:24I can see why this place is so special.
00:48:28It's more than that.
00:48:31It's like...
00:48:32My touchstone.
00:48:34The place that lets me know...
00:48:36...everything's gonna be okay.
00:48:50What's this?
00:48:52Jen's not here.
00:48:54You don't have to put on an act.
00:48:57You never know who's watching.
00:48:59Consider it practice in case we run into her again.
00:49:04Besides...
00:49:04...it's kinda nice.
00:49:06Right?
00:49:09It is kinda nice.
00:49:14Thanks for sharing this place with me.
00:49:16I'll add it to that list of Christmas traditions I've never experienced.
00:49:19You don't live here.
00:49:22Maybe I'll have to come back.
00:49:30Sorry.
00:49:33It's my boss. Editor.
00:49:35He'll just keep calling if I don't answer it.
00:49:38I'll just be a minute.
00:49:42Larry?
00:49:44Yeah, I thought you were gonna give me some space to handle this.
00:49:46Are you?
00:49:48Haven't heard from you all day.
00:49:50Thought you'd have this thing signed, sealed and delivered by now and be on your way back.
00:49:55Look, it's a little more complicated than I thought.
00:49:57I need more time.
00:49:59Time's the one thing you don't have.
00:50:01Look, these are good people.
00:50:04People?
00:50:05Who else besides the old man?
00:50:08I told you his daughter's here.
00:50:10No, no, no. It's not what you think.
00:50:12You still haven't told her who you are, have you?
00:50:16It's not exactly the easiest thing to drop into conversation.
00:50:19You need to remember what you're there to do.
00:50:21And it's not to complicate things because you've developed some little crush.
00:50:27Get the deal done by tomorrow.
00:50:29But it's Christmas.
00:50:31Seems like pretty cold timing to shake down the family business then.
00:50:34Oh, don't get soft on me, Oliver. You've got one job to do.
00:50:39Just do it.
00:50:53Look at that one. Isn't it the cutest?
00:50:57Yeah, I guess.
00:51:00Hey, what's up? Something happened?
00:51:03Is it work?
00:51:05Yeah, but I just...
00:51:08Well, I know.
00:51:10Right. Here's the thing.
00:51:13I'm gonna stop you right there.
00:51:15It's Christmas.
00:51:17You're having a pretty great time, right?
00:51:20Pretty great.
00:51:22So one phone call...
00:51:24He is my boss.
00:51:25...isn't allowed to take away from the great time that we've been having.
00:51:29Whatever that call was, just...
00:51:31...forget about it.
00:51:34Let's just have a good night.
00:51:36Can you do that?
00:51:38For me?
00:51:43I'll do it.
00:51:45But just remember, I did it for you.
00:51:49Good.
00:51:50Now.
00:51:53Shake it off.
00:51:58Come on.
00:51:59Come on.
00:52:03Again.
00:52:10Better?
00:52:11Yeah.
00:52:12Yeah.
00:52:13Yeah.
00:52:14I...
00:52:15I actually feel better.
00:52:17That's the Christmas spirit.
00:52:19Don't let anybody, or anything, take that away.
00:52:28I'm afraid Jen is somewhere hiding?
00:52:31No.
00:52:33Like you said.
00:52:35It's kinda nice.
00:52:37Glad you agree.
00:52:39Sticking with the theme of traditions you haven't experienced.
00:52:43I've got a great idea for us tomorrow.
00:52:46I'm afraid to ask.
00:52:48Trust me.
00:52:50You're gonna love it.
00:52:58There's love and laughter in the end.
00:53:01It's cold as hell, I don't care.
00:53:06Why did you let me sleep so late, Dad?
00:53:08I've got so much stuff to do.
00:53:10Oh, wow.
00:53:11Didn't expect to see this.
00:53:14I have many hidden talents.
00:53:15And when did you last sleep past the crack of dawn?
00:53:18What you've told me at your fancy gym of yours most days
00:53:22before you start your 15 hour work day.
00:53:26Is that true?
00:53:27It was.
00:53:29Being gainfully unemployed hasn't been so bad.
00:53:34If you don't mind me asking, what happened?
00:53:39Let's just say it was a matter of principle.
00:53:41I'd got tired of other people calling the shots.
00:53:44Especially when I thought they were the wrong shots.
00:53:46I thought it was very brave of her.
00:53:50Maybe not the smartest move, but...
00:53:53Honestly, I do feel free.
00:53:55I just hope it was the right thing.
00:53:59These things have a way of working themselves out.
00:54:02Here we are.
00:54:05So have you decided what your next career move should be?
00:54:08Not yet.
00:54:10But I do know I want it to be something I love doing.
00:54:13If I know my little girl,
00:54:16she'll land on her feet.
00:54:20I can't believe you're going back to work for Molly again
00:54:23after calling us such a tough boss.
00:54:25Yes.
00:54:26Who'd have thought it?
00:54:29I must be a glutton for punishment.
00:54:32Well, whatever you are,
00:54:33I'm glad you're doing something you enjoy.
00:54:35Do you know?
00:54:36I really am.
00:54:38Just don't tell her that.
00:54:40I think it's too late for that.
00:54:47Right.
00:54:49You and I have a mission.
00:54:51Why? Where are we at?
00:54:52Well, I promised you a Christmas full of new traditions, right?
00:54:55I do recall that promise.
00:54:57Look at this place.
00:54:59Does it look Christmassy to you?
00:55:02Ummm...
00:55:03The answer's no.
00:55:04But we're going to change that,
00:55:06starting with going up into the attic
00:55:08and finding all the decorations.
00:55:12Then, we're going to give the holiday inn the royal treatment.
00:55:16Sounds like a lot of work for one day.
00:55:19It'll be worth it!
00:55:21It'll be worth it!
00:55:25Quickly!
00:55:27Chuck!
00:55:28Chuck!
00:55:29Chuck!
00:55:43Find anything?
00:55:45Not yet.
00:55:46Maybe there's some sort of system to storage.
00:55:50You've met my dad. Does that sound like him?
00:55:52Oh, yeah, right.
00:55:55Ah-ha!
00:55:56Look at this!
00:56:00Cute.
00:56:01Were you always an overachiever?
00:56:03Yeah, pretty much.
00:56:06I'll go figure.
00:56:10Oh!
00:56:14Here he is!
00:56:16Jackpot!
00:56:19Oh!
00:56:29Well, this is great.
00:56:31What's wrong?
00:56:32We have a problem.
00:56:34We don't have a tree.
00:56:38Ah, you did mention that.
00:56:40The excitement of finding the decorations,
00:56:42I sort of forgot.
00:56:44Then there's only one thing for it.
00:57:10What about this one?
00:57:12No!
00:57:13Not gonna work.
00:57:15Why not?
00:57:21Look at that flat spot.
00:57:36Check out this one!
00:57:39It's okay.
00:57:41Some people like a tall, skinny tree.
00:57:43I'm just a more is more kind of girl.
00:57:46Let's keep looking.
00:57:48I tried.
00:58:03I can't believe it.
00:58:07Finding a tree like this so close to Christmas is like finding a unicorn.
00:58:13So this is the one?
00:58:14This is the one.
00:58:16Just a few more things and then we can hit the road.
00:58:31This is just a few more things?
00:58:32It's my epic Christmas dream.
00:58:35I want to surprise Dad by doing it all big like we used to.
00:58:38Well, I for one definitely can't wait to experience a very Emma Christmas.
00:58:43Oh, hey.
00:58:45How about I run across the road and get us a couple of hot drinks, yeah?
00:58:48It's like you read my mind.
00:58:58Here you go.
00:59:00Thanks.
00:59:03Actually, there's something else I'd like to get.
00:59:05Just take a second.
00:59:06Do you need any help finding it?
00:59:08Thanks.
00:59:09I know exactly what I want.
00:59:14What's he up to?
00:59:15I have no idea.
00:59:17But he's got that look in his eyes.
00:59:20What look?
00:59:21Like a man on a mission.
00:59:23And I suspect it involves your daughter.
00:59:28Well, everyone needs a purpose.
00:59:32Speaking of which, would you be open to my continuing to help out around the shop?
00:59:40Well, I don't want to impose.
00:59:42You've already helped so much.
00:59:44Well, I don't know.
00:59:47It's been kind of fun.
00:59:51I think we make a really great team.
00:59:59Well, that might be a good idea.
01:00:02To be a team.
01:00:06Listen, Molly.
01:00:07When Claire died, I...
01:00:12Well, I didn't think I'd feel anything for anyone ever again.
01:00:16Ben, I've enjoyed spending time with you.
01:00:20And I want to keep on doing it.
01:00:27Ben...
01:00:29I've had a crush on you since college.
01:00:33Maybe I should have told you sooner.
01:00:35Ben.
01:00:42It's a late than never.
01:00:47Oh.
01:00:49Oh.
01:00:51Oh.
01:00:52Oh.
01:00:53Oh.
01:00:54Oh.
01:00:54Oh.
01:00:56Oh.
01:01:07Oh.
01:01:21Oh.
01:01:25Oh.
01:01:27Oh.
01:01:27Oh.
01:01:28Oh.
01:01:29Oh.
01:01:29Oh.
01:01:29Oh.
01:01:31Oh.
01:01:32Oh.
01:01:33Oh.
01:01:34Oh.
01:01:35Oh.
01:01:57The next bit is the best part.
01:01:59There's more.
01:02:32There's more.
01:02:37There's more.
01:03:30There's more.
01:03:31Sorry, you go ahead.
01:04:00The holly and the ivy, when they are the full crown of all the...
01:04:13Well, isn't this something?
01:04:16I hope you don't mind, but we decided to spruce up the place.
01:04:21Oh, it's just beautiful.
01:04:27Oh, it feels like Christmas.
01:04:32That was the plan.
01:04:34Of course, it might be the last one we spent here.
01:04:37Dad, I've told you.
01:04:39I'm not going to let some soulless corporation erase everything that you've built here.
01:04:44I'll do everything that I can to save this place.
01:04:47All I can say is seeing the inn like this makes me remember the good old days.
01:04:54Anyway, enough talking of Selene for the moment.
01:04:58Just look at what you have done.
01:05:01You two, Oliver.
01:05:02This is the best Christmas gift ever.
01:05:10Sorry, it's work.
01:05:12I've got to take this.
01:05:13Don't they know it's Christmas?
01:05:14It's my boss.
01:05:23Yeah?
01:05:24Such an enthusiastic greeting.
01:05:28I take it from your lack of communication that there hasn't been any problems.
01:05:32Look, I think we should pull out of the deal.
01:05:34Not your call to make.
01:05:36I'm just not comfortable doing your dirty work anymore.
01:05:38Never seemed like a problem before.
01:05:41That's because I never saw the people that it affected.
01:05:43Told you this wasn't about making friends.
01:05:46It's just more than that, Larry.
01:05:47This place, this town, it's special.
01:05:51The Holiday Inn shouldn't be bulldozed for some conference centre.
01:05:55They don't make them like this anymore.
01:05:57Do you have any idea how much we've already spent on plans?
01:06:01Hmm?
01:06:02Architects, studies.
01:06:03Look, if you could just see the place.
01:06:06Oh, I will.
01:06:08From a penthouse view when the resort is built.
01:06:11No.
01:06:12Not if I can help it.
01:06:14I'm going to come clean and tell her everything.
01:06:16And then, then I'm going to figure out a way to save the inn.
01:06:20You know this is career suicide.
01:06:23You'll be blacklisted so hard you'll never work again in this industry.
01:06:27Well, maybe that's a good thing.
01:06:30You do understand what you're saying.
01:06:32Never more clear than this moment.
01:06:35Goodbye, Larry.
01:06:36I'm sorry.
01:06:37I'm sorry.
01:06:37I'm sorry.
01:06:56Oh, my God.
01:07:36Oh, my God.
01:07:56Oh, my God.
01:08:00What is it?
01:08:02Take a walk with me.
01:08:19What is it?
01:08:20It's just a little Christmas present.
01:08:25I haven't got you anything.
01:08:29Yeah.
01:08:30Oliver.
01:08:50Oh, Oliver, it's too much.
01:08:53Emma, you've given me so much in these past few days.
01:08:58You shared with me who you are, your family's memories and traditions.
01:09:03I just wanted to give you something back.
01:09:09You really didn't need to, but thank you.
01:09:14This is probably one of the most thoughtful gifts that anyone's ever given me.
01:09:18You deserve good things all the time.
01:09:22Look, I...
01:09:25I can't believe I'm saying this, but I...
01:09:28I didn't think it was possible to feel like this about someone so quick.
01:09:32Look, it's a connection.
01:09:34I really...
01:09:35I don't want it to...
01:09:35I don't want it to end.
01:09:37Neither do I.
01:09:39I...
01:09:39I don't want to go back to my real life.
01:09:42Maybe this could be your new real life.
01:09:45What do you mean?
01:09:47Look, I've been thinking.
01:09:48You said you want your next career move to be something you love, right?
01:09:52Yeah.
01:09:53And you really seem to love the Holiday Inn.
01:09:57So much.
01:09:58And Ben has said on more than one occasion,
01:10:01there's become too much for him to handle.
01:10:04Are you thinking that I should...
01:10:06Yes.
01:10:07Take over the Holiday Inn.
01:10:09That's exactly what I'm thinking.
01:10:11I...
01:10:12I hadn't even thought about that.
01:10:14I've just been trying to find ways to save it.
01:10:17This is a way to save it.
01:10:19Think about it.
01:10:21You're so smart and you're good with people.
01:10:23And I see the way you light up when you talk about this place.
01:10:28But if Dad can't keep it afloat with all his experience,
01:10:31how am I supposed to do it on my own?
01:10:35Emma, Holly,
01:10:36I've never met such a positive, more determined person in all my life.
01:10:42I know you can do anything you set your mind to.
01:10:52And there's one other thing.
01:10:56Maybe you wouldn't have to do it alone.
01:10:59Maybe if it's okay with you,
01:11:02I could stick around and help run it with you.
01:11:08What do you say?
01:11:25I say yes.
01:11:32I still get to be the boss though, right?
01:11:34Obviously.
01:11:35Let's go and tell Dad.
01:11:46Dad!
01:11:49Dad!
01:11:54I forgot something in town back in a jiffy.
01:11:58What do you bet that what he forgot was just an excuse to see Molly?
01:12:02Wouldn't surprise me.
01:12:03Oh, he's pretty smitten.
01:12:06Seems to be going around.
01:12:22Oh, does your dad have any more of that mulled cider?
01:12:25Yeah, there should be some warming on the stove.
01:12:34Where are the glasses?
01:12:37One sec.
01:12:58Here we are, two mulled ciders.
01:13:05It's not what it looks like, okay?
01:13:08It's exactly what it looks like, but not anymore.
01:13:12What do you think it looks like?
01:13:14Because I think it looks like you came here to spy and then pull the rug out from under us.
01:13:21Was that your plan?
01:13:23Get clothes, find out everything you can, and then get my dad to sign his life's work away?
01:13:29No.
01:13:29Yes, yes.
01:13:30At first it was just about getting the deal done.
01:13:33Isn't that bit about being a travel writer?
01:13:34I never actually said that.
01:13:36You just assumed.
01:13:36Oh, right.
01:13:38Yeah, so now that's my fault.
01:13:40No, I'm not saying that.
01:13:41I'm just...
01:13:42Why didn't you correct me?
01:13:44I don't know.
01:13:45I don't know.
01:13:47It just seemed easier to go along with it.
01:13:50So this is just one big lie.
01:13:54All part of your little plan.
01:13:57I should have known you seemed too good to be true.
01:14:01I mean, it started out like that, but...
01:14:06When I got to know you, and care about you,
01:14:11things changed.
01:14:14And I'm supposed to believe that.
01:14:18I trusted you.
01:14:20I thought we had something special,
01:14:23but it's all just a trick to get your soulless company's hands on the inn.
01:14:26No, this is real.
01:14:31I fell just as hard.
01:14:34And I was serious about staying here.
01:14:37Sure.
01:14:38As part of the resort,
01:14:39there's going to bulldoze this place to the ground.
01:14:41No, everything's changed.
01:14:43What we have.
01:14:44Apart from that...
01:14:49You're a fraud.
01:14:51I'm sorry.
01:14:52I wasn't honest.
01:14:55I was just afraid.
01:14:59It would...
01:15:02It would all be over.
01:15:05How did you think this was going to end?
01:15:17Well, I hope you're happy.
01:15:23I'm sorry, Dad.
01:15:41I'm sorry, Dad.
01:16:30Giving up so soon?
01:16:36Look, Ben, I truly am sorry.
01:16:43You were just doing your job. I get it.
01:16:48Well, I've just quit my job, so that's not a problem anymore.
01:16:53I'm talking about not being honest.
01:16:56I should have been straight with you and Emma from the start.
01:17:00I can't argue with that.
01:17:11Let's talk.
01:17:17The festival, decorating the tree, the inn.
01:17:23Something like this.
01:17:25And I didn't want it to end.
01:17:28I can understand that.
01:17:33I really did start to care about you.
01:17:36I really did start to care about you.
01:17:41I really did start to care about you.
01:18:01I still have time.
01:18:16I wondered that.
01:18:16I was ready for the nurture.
01:18:16I'm really excited about you.
01:18:16You're ready to handle it.
01:18:21I suppose it's good.
01:18:21I don't care about anybody.
01:18:22But because I really want to know the people who could do that.
