00:00:07,942 --> 00:00:10,943
       ¶ Ever since I was
         a young girl ¶

3
00:00:10,978 --> 00:00:14,179
         ¶ I only ever
        had one dream ¶

4
00:00:14,215 --> 00:00:18,050
      ¶ I only wanna ride
      on Santa's sleigh ¶

5
00:00:18,085 --> 00:00:20,552
¶¶¶

6
00:00:20,588 --> 00:00:23,422
     ¶ I just wanna ride ¶

7
00:00:23,457 --> 00:00:26,692
   ¶ Ride on Santa's sleigh ¶

8
00:00:26,727 --> 00:00:29,695
     ¶ I just wanna ride ¶

00:00:29,730 --> 00:00:33,032
   ¶ Ride on Santa's sleigh ¶

10
00:00:33,067 --> 00:00:35,968
     ¶ I just wanna ride ¶

11
00:00:36,003 --> 00:00:39,238
   ¶ Ride on Santa's sleigh ¶

12

      ¶ I only wanna ride
      on Santa's sleigh ¶

13
00:00:43,744 --> 00:00:45,377
          (Box thuds)
           - (Sighs)

14
00:00:45,413 --> 00:00:48,213
      Two down, six to go.

15
00:00:48,783 --> 00:00:51,250
              Ooh!

16
00:00:51,285 --> 00:00:52,751
Hmm.

17
00:00:52,787 --> 00:00:54,286
       (Objects clatter)

18
00:00:54,321 --> 00:00:56,055
        (Doorbell rings)

19
00:00:57,525 --> 00:01:00,392
          Oh. (Sighs)

20
00:01:00,428 --> 00:01:02,795
        (Footsteps thud)

21
00:01:02,830 --> 00:01:05,664
       (Door creaks open)
      Maggie! Oh, come in!

22
00:01:05,699 --> 00:01:07,466
            Come in!
     What a nice surprise!

23
00:01:07,501 --> 00:01:09,134
 - Oh, I know I said I'd call,

24
00:01:09,170 --> 00:01:11,637
   but why do that when I can
    just drop in announced?

25
00:01:11,672 --> 00:01:13,238
           (Chuckles)

26
00:01:13,274 --> 00:01:14,640
     I hope you don't mind.

27
00:01:14,675 --> 00:01:16,442
    I put up a few Christmas
          decorations,

28
00:01:16,477 --> 00:01:18,410
      just to make it feel
        more like home.

29
00:01:18,446 --> 00:01:19,812
Does it feel like home yet?

30
00:01:19,847 --> 00:01:21,613
 - Well, it's only been a day.

31
00:01:21,649 --> 00:01:23,649
   - Well, it looks fabulous,
            already.

32
00:01:23,684 --> 00:01:25,784
    When you first mentioned
   renting a furnished place,

33
00:01:25,820 --> 00:01:27,419
    I knew I had the perfect
            listing.

34
00:01:27,455 --> 00:01:31,023
 Oh... I made you a little bit
          of a welcome

35
00:01:31,058 --> 00:01:32,991
      to the neighborhood
       Christmas basket.

36
00:01:33,027 --> 00:01:35,094
     - Oh, you didn't have
          to do that.

37
00:01:35,129 --> 00:01:37,262
 - Will your family be visiting
       over the holidays?

38
00:01:37,298 --> 00:01:39,531
   Because Cedar Park shines
at Christmas time.

39
00:01:39,567 --> 00:01:41,834
      - No, it's just me.

40
00:01:41,869 --> 00:01:43,268
             - Oh.

41
00:01:43,304 --> 00:01:44,803
        - But it's fine.
           It's fine.

42
00:01:44,839 --> 00:01:46,672
     My medical fellowship
       will keep me busy,

43
00:01:46,707 --> 00:01:48,841
   and I plan on volunteering
       for extra shifts.

44
00:01:48,876 --> 00:01:49,975
   - Yeah, that's very nice.

45
00:01:50,010 --> 00:01:52,177
 And, and I do think it's very
     important to give back

46
00:01:52,213 --> 00:01:53,879
        when we can, so.

47
00:01:53,914 --> 00:01:55,481
          Oh, oh dear.

48
00:01:55,516 --> 00:01:56,815
      Okay, I have to go.

49
00:01:56,851 --> 00:01:58,717
    Somebody's expecting me.
        I can't be late.

50
00:01:58,752 --> 00:02:00,352
            Ta, ta.
- Bye.

51
00:02:00,387 --> 00:02:02,521
   (Door creaks open, shuts)

52
00:02:02,556 --> 00:02:04,089
   - I have somewhere to be,
            as well.

53
00:02:05,226 --> 00:02:07,459
        (Engine rumbles)

¶¶¶

55
00:02:10,831 --> 00:02:12,698
          - Oh, honey!
    (Happy squealing) Kevin!

56
00:02:12,733 --> 00:02:15,400
       (Arnold laughing)

57
00:02:15,436 --> 00:02:17,169
  - Hello! Welcome home, son!

58
00:02:17,204 --> 00:02:19,071
 - Come on, come on. It's cold.

59
00:02:19,106 --> 00:02:21,206
   - Here, give me your bags.
    - Are you sure, old man?

60
00:02:21,242 --> 00:02:22,808
        - You're taller.
     I swear you're taller.

61
00:02:22,843 --> 00:02:24,543
        - No, no Maggie,
      we're just shorter.

62
00:02:24,578 --> 00:02:26,245
          (All laugh)

63
00:02:26,280 --> 00:02:29,314
Maggie: Oh, honey. Come in!
             - Oh!

64
00:02:30,251 --> 00:02:31,884
    <i> Dr. Reagan: Well, I know</i>
       <i> your first choice</i>

65
00:02:31,919 --> 00:02:33,919
  <i> was Northwest Falls Medical</i>
          <i> in Chicago,</i>

66
00:02:33,954 --> 00:02:36,321
 but I'm so pleased you matched
     with us, Dr. Stafford.

67
00:02:36,357 --> 00:02:38,857
  - Your fellowship program in
orthopedics is one of the best.

68
00:02:38,893 --> 00:02:41,994
   - Well, we may be a small
  hospital, but we are mighty.

69
00:02:42,029 --> 00:02:43,729
   - I certainly believe it.

70
00:02:43,764 --> 00:02:45,564
        - Well, tomorrow
    we'll get you acclimated

71
00:02:45,599 --> 00:02:48,734
and uh, you can jump right in.

72
00:02:48,769 --> 00:02:50,402
    - I look forward to it.

73
00:02:50,437 --> 00:02:52,905
    - (Chuckles) Good, good.

74
00:02:52,940 --> 00:02:54,406
    ("Deck the Halls" plays)

75
00:02:54,441 --> 00:02:55,741
  <i> Arnold: You have good people</i>
          <i> around you?</i>

76
00:02:55,776 --> 00:02:57,409
            - Sure.
            - Yeah?

77
00:02:57,444 --> 00:02:58,911
  - Mom, there's barely enough
         room as it is!

78
00:02:58,946 --> 00:03:00,746
          - Oh, honey!
  - Where're you gonna put it?

79
00:03:00,781 --> 00:03:02,748
       - You're back home
        after six years.

80
00:03:02,783 --> 00:03:04,349
       I just wanna make
      all your favorites.

81
00:03:04,385 --> 00:03:06,084
     - Mom, you could feed
an entire regiment.

82
00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:08,420
  - (Chuckles) She had me make
     three different trips

83
00:03:08,455 --> 00:03:09,688
      to the store today.

84
00:03:09,723 --> 00:03:12,558
 - Well, there still is nothing
 quite like mom's home cooking.

85
00:03:12,593 --> 00:03:13,692
      I'll tell you that.
     - You got that right.

86
00:03:13,727 --> 00:03:15,727
   - (Sighs) And now you can
   have it anytime you like.

87
00:03:15,763 --> 00:03:18,297
          - Thank you.
 - We're so proud of you, son.

88
00:03:18,332 --> 00:03:19,898
     Grandpa would be too,

89
00:03:19,934 --> 00:03:21,767
      knowing you followed
       in his footsteps.

¶¶¶

91
00:03:25,439 --> 00:03:27,906
         - Thanks, Pop.
     It's nice to be home.

92
00:03:27,942 --> 00:03:29,675
- Good to have you home.

93
00:03:31,579 --> 00:03:32,644
  - Well, first things first,

94
00:03:32,680 --> 00:03:34,746
    as much as I would love
  to have you living with us,

95
00:03:34,782 --> 00:03:37,249
 I'm pretty sure you'd like to
 have a place to call your own.

96
00:03:37,284 --> 00:03:39,585
    So, I know a great spot
        over on Camden.

97
00:03:39,620 --> 00:03:41,954
      - Mhm. It's not far
    from the hardware store.

98
00:03:41,989 --> 00:03:43,922
  I could always use an extra
    pair of hands, you know.

99
00:03:43,958 --> 00:03:46,225
 Gets busy during the holidays.
             - Mhm.

100
00:03:46,260 --> 00:03:48,093
 - Yeah, and also you could...
     you could help me out

101
00:03:48,128 --> 00:03:49,761
sometimes when I'm showing
          my listings.

102
00:03:49,797 --> 00:03:51,797
  - Okay, whoa-whoa-whoa-whoa.
   Let's just slow down here,

103
00:03:51,832 --> 00:03:53,899
           shall we?
   I just got back into town,

104
00:03:53,934 --> 00:03:55,801
   I'm very happy to be here.

105
00:03:55,836 --> 00:03:58,103
         Can't we enjoy
    this nice meal together?

106
00:03:58,138 --> 00:03:59,571
        - Sure. Just uh,

107
00:03:59,607 --> 00:04:00,706
  I mean I just don't know why

108
00:04:00,741 --> 00:04:02,808
 you should sit around waiting
     for things to happen.

109
00:04:02,843 --> 00:04:04,409
      - Better to be busy.

110
00:04:04,445 --> 00:04:06,678
 - Okay, what's going on here?
        - Sorry, honey.

111
00:04:06,714 --> 00:04:08,247
       Um, it's just that
we know that...

112
00:04:08,282 --> 00:04:09,982
    you thrive on structure,
      so we thought that--

113
00:04:10,017 --> 00:04:11,650
    - The Air Force was good
           for that,

114
00:04:11,685 --> 00:04:14,353
  we just don't want you to...
           be adrift.

115
00:04:14,388 --> 00:04:16,655
   - I'm fine. You don't have
    to worry about me, okay?

116
00:04:16,690 --> 00:04:17,923
            - Okay.

117
00:04:17,958 --> 00:04:20,192
      - I will figure out
         my next steps.

118
00:04:20,227 --> 00:04:22,361
         (Oven dings!)
 - Oh! Honey baked ham's ready!

119
00:04:22,396 --> 00:04:24,496
       Arnold: Oh, ha ha!
        - There's more?!

120
00:04:24,531 --> 00:04:26,298
        (Engine rumbles)

121
00:04:26,333 --> 00:04:28,033
      (Low hum of chatter)

122
00:04:28,068 --> 00:04:33,505
¶¶¶

123
00:04:33,540 --> 00:04:35,240
(Door opens, slams shut)

124
00:04:36,744 --> 00:04:39,645
   - Okay, one regular latte,
     one almond milk latte,

125
00:04:39,680 --> 00:04:42,681
   one soy latte, one vanilla
     latte, one chai latte.

126
00:04:42,716 --> 00:04:44,483
   Which is a lot of lattes.

127
00:04:44,518 --> 00:04:45,817
   I started a new job today,

128
00:04:45,853 --> 00:04:47,686
    I wanted to do something
       nice for everyone.

129
00:04:47,721 --> 00:04:49,454
One cappuccino, one mochaccino,

130
00:04:49,490 --> 00:04:51,790
 one Americano, and one decaf.

131
00:04:51,825 --> 00:04:54,192
    Hedging my bets. Thanks!
       - You're welcome.

132
00:04:54,228 --> 00:04:55,694
          - Watch out!
             - Ooh!

133
00:04:55,729 --> 00:04:57,963
        - Coffee train,
       full steam ahead!

134
00:04:57,998 --> 00:04:59,531
Do-Do you need some help there?

135
00:04:59,566 --> 00:05:01,633
     - Thanks, I've got it.
          - Oh! Whoa!

136
00:05:01,669 --> 00:05:03,935
         Are you sure?
       - Uh... positive.

137
00:05:05,439 --> 00:05:07,072
    - Now you're just trying
      to prove something.

138
00:05:07,107 --> 00:05:08,573
     - I have no idea what
     you're talking about.

139
00:05:08,609 --> 00:05:10,542
 - You know, it's not the worst
     thing to ask for help.

140
00:05:11,345 --> 00:05:13,645
  - Well, if I ever need any,
       I know who to ask.

141
00:05:13,681 --> 00:05:16,081
     - Suit yourself, Kate.
    - How did you know my--?

142
00:05:16,116 --> 00:05:18,483
  - It's written on the cups.
       All nine of them.

143
00:05:18,519 --> 00:05:22,654

144
00:05:24,191 --> 00:05:26,058
<i> Dr. Reagan: Hi, everyone.</i>

145
00:05:26,093 --> 00:05:29,594
   This is Dr. Kate Stafford,
   our new orthopedic fellow.

146
00:05:29,630 --> 00:05:30,729
           - Hi Kate.
           - Welcome.

147
00:05:30,764 --> 00:05:34,499
- As you can see, her instincts
     are already top notch.

148
00:05:34,535 --> 00:05:37,035
  - Or it's just my way to try
     to win everyone over.

149
00:05:37,071 --> 00:05:39,004
          - (Chuckles)
  I've got a patient waiting,

150
00:05:39,039 --> 00:05:42,207
   but Liz here, has offered
      to show you around.

151
00:05:42,242 --> 00:05:44,176
            - Great.

152
00:05:44,211 --> 00:05:46,011
              Hi.
             - Hi!

153
00:05:46,046 --> 00:05:47,746
       Liz Warner, nurse,

154
00:05:47,781 --> 00:05:49,715
    and manager of Christmas
merriment.

155
00:05:49,750 --> 00:05:51,216
             - Oh.
       - Self-appointed.

156
00:05:51,251 --> 00:05:52,751
         (Both chuckle)

157
00:05:52,786 --> 00:05:54,920
    - This is my third year
    at Cedar Park Hospital.

158
00:05:54,955 --> 00:05:56,555
  Really is a wonderful place.

159
00:05:56,590 --> 00:05:58,523
     The town, the people,
      it's all so lovely.

160
00:05:58,559 --> 00:06:00,525
   Oh, you'll meet everyone,
        and soon enough,

161
00:06:00,561 --> 00:06:02,728
      this place will feel
        just like home.

162
00:06:02,763 --> 00:06:04,963
   - For the year, at least.
  Until my fellowship is done.

163
00:06:04,998 --> 00:06:06,698
     - Where are you from?

164
00:06:06,734 --> 00:06:08,567
   - Oh, well I moved around
             a lot,

165
00:06:08,602 --> 00:06:10,569
so I never really know
  how to answer that question.

166
00:06:12,072 --> 00:06:13,839
      - Here, let me help.

167
00:06:16,009 --> 00:06:17,876
- Don't you just love Christmas?

168
00:06:17,911 --> 00:06:19,444
         - I do, yeah.

169
00:06:19,480 --> 00:06:21,613
 But it's... it's been a while

170
00:06:21,648 --> 00:06:23,682
    since I've had a proper
          celebration.

171
00:06:24,985 --> 00:06:27,119
       - We'll have to do
     something about that.

172
00:06:28,856 --> 00:06:30,422
            - Yeah.

173
00:06:31,525 --> 00:06:34,493
¶¶¶

174
00:06:34,528 --> 00:06:35,794
    (Approaching footsteps)

175
00:06:35,829 --> 00:06:37,396
          - Oh, here,
  let me get you another one.

176
00:06:37,431 --> 00:06:39,631
   - Oh no, that's okay, Mom.
          I'm alright.

177
00:06:39,666 --> 00:06:41,166
        (Winces in pain)
- How's your leg feeling?

178
00:06:41,201 --> 00:06:43,435
  - It's okay, I've just been
       sitting too long.

179
00:06:43,470 --> 00:06:44,970
 - Yeah, no. Why don't you have
       that checked out?

180
00:06:45,005 --> 00:06:47,105
     - Mom, you don't need
 to worry about me. It's fine.

181
00:06:47,141 --> 00:06:48,940
       - I'm your mother,
    so it's my job to worry,

182
00:06:48,976 --> 00:06:52,244
     so I'm just gonna call
          the clinic.
           - Mom! No.

183
00:06:52,279 --> 00:06:54,813
    <i> Kate: We will follow up</i>
     <i> next week, Mrs. Jones.</i>

184
00:06:54,848 --> 00:06:56,748
     <i> Mrs. Jones: Thank you,</i>
         <i> Dr. Stafford.</i>

185
00:06:56,784 --> 00:06:58,950
- And I will be sure to plant
     those hyacinth bulbs,

186
00:06:58,986 --> 00:07:01,319
    just like you suggested.
 Thanks for the gardening tips!

187
00:07:01,355 --> 00:07:03,488
       - Gardening tips?

188
00:07:03,524 --> 00:07:05,991
 At this rate, you're gonna win
      over the whole town.

189
00:07:06,026 --> 00:07:07,759
          - Hey Kate,
   your next patient's ready.

190
00:07:07,795 --> 00:07:09,060
           - Thanks.

191
00:07:10,664 --> 00:07:14,132
     - Hello, Mr. Matthews.
       I'm Dr. Stafford.

192
00:07:14,168 --> 00:07:16,234
            - Kate!
     From the coffee shop.

193
00:07:17,171 --> 00:07:20,138
        - Oh, it's you.
  - I prefer Kevin, actually.

194
00:07:20,174 --> 00:07:23,008
         - Well Kevin,
     from the coffee shop,

195
00:07:23,043 --> 00:07:24,676
what can I help you with?

196
00:07:24,711 --> 00:07:26,545
    - I don't need any help.
  - Then, why'd you come here?

197
00:07:26,580 --> 00:07:28,013
       - My mom made me.

198
00:07:28,048 --> 00:07:30,015
   - Aren't you a little old
        for that excuse?

199
00:07:30,050 --> 00:07:32,017
        - I thought so,
        but she insisted

200
00:07:32,052 --> 00:07:34,386
    I get my leg looked at.
  - Well, what happened to it?

201
00:07:34,421 --> 00:07:36,555
      - Injured it during
       military service.

202
00:07:36,590 --> 00:07:38,824
      It healed just fine.
     The end. Can I go now?

203
00:07:38,859 --> 00:07:40,725
       - Shouldn't you be
       at a VA hospital?

204
00:07:40,761 --> 00:07:42,160
       - The nearest one
is a couple towns over.

205
00:07:42,196 --> 00:07:44,362
    This was a lot quicker.
        I'm a busy guy.

206
00:07:44,398 --> 00:07:45,797
           - Clearly.

207
00:07:45,833 --> 00:07:47,699
 Well, let's take a look at it,
       since you're here.

208
00:07:47,734 --> 00:07:50,368
      - It's fine, really.
   - Then it should be quick!

209
00:07:50,404 --> 00:07:52,103
      - (Reluctant exhale)

210
00:07:55,108 --> 00:07:57,209
  - So, how did you injure it
            exactly?

211
00:07:57,244 --> 00:07:59,211
     - Uh, I kicked a shark
          in the face.

212
00:07:59,246 --> 00:08:01,279
      - Hmm, that's funny.

213
00:08:02,382 --> 00:08:03,815
      - I was para-rescue,

214
00:08:03,851 --> 00:08:05,851
        it's a division
       of the Air Force.

215
00:08:05,886 --> 00:08:08,086
     Two years ago, during
an airdrop exercise,

216
00:08:08,121 --> 00:08:09,888
    my chute malfunctioned.

217
00:08:09,923 --> 00:08:11,189
     When I hit the ground,

218
00:08:11,225 --> 00:08:12,924
     my leg took the brunt
         of the impact.

219
00:08:12,960 --> 00:08:14,726
      Two surgeries later,
          good as new.

220
00:08:14,761 --> 00:08:16,328
     - Any recurring pain?

221
00:08:17,297 --> 00:08:18,897
     - Every now and then.

222
00:08:18,932 --> 00:08:21,766
  - Well, this hospital has a
great physical therapy program.

223
00:08:21,802 --> 00:08:24,436
       - I don't need it.
         I'm all good.

224
00:08:24,471 --> 00:08:26,505
            - I um,

225
00:08:26,540 --> 00:08:29,274
     vaguely recall someone
          telling me,

226
00:08:29,309 --> 00:08:31,209
    it's not the worst thing
        to ask for help.

227
00:08:31,245 --> 00:08:35,180
- Oh, well, if I ever need any,
     I know who to turn to.

228
00:08:37,451 --> 00:08:39,184
    Do I get a lollipop now?

229
00:08:39,219 --> 00:08:40,852
       - (Chuckles) Cute.

230
00:08:42,956 --> 00:08:44,523
            (Sighs)

231
00:08:44,558 --> 00:08:46,925
          - Hey, Mom.
       - Hi, honey. Kate?

232
00:08:46,960 --> 00:08:48,293
            <i> (Laughs)</i>

233
00:08:48,328 --> 00:08:50,729
    Oh, I should've realized
     you'd be working here.

234
00:08:52,132 --> 00:08:54,099
        - Wait a second,
    you two know each other?

235
00:08:54,134 --> 00:08:56,301
    - I helped Kate find her
      new rental property.

236
00:08:56,336 --> 00:08:58,103
             - Oh.
    - Yeah, Kevin Matthews.

237
00:08:58,138 --> 00:09:00,272
        Maggie is your--
          - Mom, yeah.

238
00:09:01,074 --> 00:09:03,241
- Isn't this a delightful
          coincidence?

239
00:09:03,277 --> 00:09:05,243
      - Yes, Dr. Stafford,

240
00:09:05,279 --> 00:09:07,812
  would you say our experience
    together was delightful?

241
00:09:07,848 --> 00:09:10,782
   - One of many words in the
   dictionary to choose from.

242
00:09:10,817 --> 00:09:12,117
             - Hmm.

243
00:09:12,152 --> 00:09:14,152
  - Did he get the all-clear?

244
00:09:14,187 --> 00:09:16,121
          - Yes, yes.

245
00:09:16,156 --> 00:09:18,523
   But I'm sure, as you know,
      your son is very...

246
00:09:19,960 --> 00:09:22,093
          independent.

247
00:09:22,129 --> 00:09:24,796
    - Yes, so too, it seems,
        is Dr. Stafford.

248
00:09:26,500 --> 00:09:27,933
             - Ah.

249
00:09:27,968 --> 00:09:30,135
    Then I guess you've each
met your match. (Chuckles)

250
00:09:30,170 --> 00:09:32,537
             Honey.
           - Thanks.

251
00:09:34,007 --> 00:09:35,440
           - Doctor.

252
00:09:42,015 --> 00:09:44,783
     - I just saw the most
       stubborn patient.

253
00:09:44,818 --> 00:09:46,651
    - The tall, handsome guy
      with the good hair?

254
00:09:46,687 --> 00:09:49,921
   - I suppose his height is
  statistically above average.

255
00:09:51,725 --> 00:09:53,525
      - Hey, are you free
         this Saturday?

256
00:09:53,560 --> 00:09:55,860
   I'm organizing the annual
     Christmas event here.

257
00:09:55,896 --> 00:09:57,162
       - Hmm. Sounds fun!

258
00:09:57,197 --> 00:09:59,264
     - Yeah, I always plan
          a big event

259
00:09:59,299 --> 00:10:01,166
        for the patients
and their families.

260
00:10:01,201 --> 00:10:04,202
 My first year was a bake sale,
       then the pageant.

261
00:10:04,237 --> 00:10:06,004
        - And this year?

262
00:10:06,039 --> 00:10:08,807
    - A musical performance
  by the Cedar Park Warblers.

263
00:10:08,842 --> 00:10:10,308
     All the holiday hits.

264
00:10:10,344 --> 00:10:12,210
    - Well, who doesn't love
         a holiday hit?

265
00:10:12,245 --> 00:10:13,945
   Anything I can do to help?

266
00:10:13,981 --> 00:10:15,847
       - No, just enjoy.

267
00:10:15,882 --> 00:10:17,449
        - I'll be there.

268
00:10:19,252 --> 00:10:21,686
        (Car rumbles by)

269
00:10:21,722 --> 00:10:23,788
 Kevin: These extension cables
will give your Christmas lights

270
00:10:23,824 --> 00:10:25,523
      enough power to wow
       the whole street.

271
00:10:25,559 --> 00:10:27,058
- Huh. Thanks.

272
00:10:27,094 --> 00:10:29,060
       - Merry Christmas.
       - Merry Christmas!

273
00:10:29,096 --> 00:10:30,729
   - It's nice to see another
        Matthews working

274
00:10:30,764 --> 00:10:32,397
 the Matthews Family Hardware,
             again.

275
00:10:32,432 --> 00:10:34,299
   - Well, just like weekends
        in high school.

276
00:10:34,334 --> 00:10:35,967
 - Yeah, if you're not careful,

277
00:10:36,003 --> 00:10:38,069
      you may wind up with
    the keys to the kingdom.

            himself!

          Hey, buddy!

00:10:44,578 --> 00:10:46,344
- Hey.
       - Good to see you.

282
00:10:46,380 --> 00:10:48,079
     - Was hoping to swing
          by yesterday

283
00:10:48,115 --> 00:10:49,648
 but caught at the camera shop.
            But hey,

284
00:10:49,683 --> 00:10:52,250
 better late than never, right?
     - Nah, don't sweat it.

285
00:10:52,285 --> 00:10:54,386
   I see you're not just here
            for me.

286
00:10:54,421 --> 00:10:58,456
   Outlet plugs, edge guards,
         cabinet locks.

287
00:10:59,259 --> 00:11:01,660
     I know you're clumsy,
   but this seems excessive.

288
00:11:01,695 --> 00:11:05,063
 - Or uh, perfect baby-proofing
            a house?

289
00:11:05,098 --> 00:11:06,665
             - No!
             - Mhm.

290
00:11:06,700 --> 00:11:08,533

     Oh, that's incredible!

291
00:11:08,568 --> 00:11:10,235
        You and Carolyn
       must be thrilled!

00:11:10,270 --> 00:11:12,070

293
00:11:12,105 --> 00:11:13,571

        Nervous as heck.

        - (Both chuckle)

295
00:11:15,275 --> 00:11:17,108
      - So, you gonna name
        the baby Kevin?

296
00:11:17,144 --> 00:11:18,576
       - Kevin, for sure.
            - Nice!
            - Yeah.

297
00:11:18,612 --> 00:11:20,679
   - Oh, that's a great idea.
            - Yeah.

298
00:11:22,382 --> 00:11:24,582
     - So, you gettin' your
        own place soon?

299
00:11:24,618 --> 00:11:27,285
   - Keeping my options open.
- Okay. Oh, speaking, of,

300
00:11:27,320 --> 00:11:29,187
      you've gotta let me
     introduce you to some

301
00:11:29,222 --> 00:11:31,089
     of Carolyn's friends.
           - Listen,

302
00:11:31,124 --> 00:11:33,258
    dating is the last thing
  on my mind right now, okay?

303
00:11:33,293 --> 00:11:35,527
         - That's cool.
      What's on your mind?

304
00:11:35,562 --> 00:11:37,529
 - Why is everyone so concerned
      about my next moves?

305
00:11:37,564 --> 00:11:39,230
     I'll land on my feet.

306
00:11:39,266 --> 00:11:41,366
  - Transitioning to civilian
      life can't be easy.

307
00:11:41,401 --> 00:11:43,301
     - I'm figuring it out.

308
00:11:43,336 --> 00:11:45,370
      - Oh, working here's
         a good start.

309
00:11:45,405 --> 00:11:47,772
- (Sighs) Yeah,
   I think my dad may want me

310
00:11:47,808 --> 00:11:49,541
     to take over the store
            one day.

311
00:11:49,576 --> 00:11:51,376
        - That's great!

312
00:11:51,411 --> 00:11:53,611
      That's not... great?

313
00:11:53,647 --> 00:11:55,613
- I don't really have the heart
          to tell him

314
00:11:55,649 --> 00:11:57,749
      it's not really my--
        - Your calling.

315
00:11:57,784 --> 00:12:00,385
            - Yeah.
 - Yeah, I bet he'd understand.

316
00:12:00,420 --> 00:12:02,487
         - Not so sure.
      - What about the VA,

317
00:12:02,522 --> 00:12:04,289
     don't they have a job
       placement service?

318
00:12:04,324 --> 00:12:06,558
- Yeah. I've got a meeting with
 them in a few days, actually.

319
00:12:06,593 --> 00:12:08,093

            - Yeah.

320
00:12:08,128 --> 00:12:11,129
    - Yeah, but big picture,
       what do you want?

321
00:12:11,164 --> 00:12:13,064
- To find you some cabinet locks

322
00:12:13,100 --> 00:12:14,566
    you're definitely gonna
   have a hard time opening.

323
00:12:14,601 --> 00:12:16,601
       - Okay, I got it.

 What has seven letters and has
  something to do with Santa?

415
00:16:54,881 --> 00:16:56,347
          - Reindeer.

416
00:16:56,383 --> 00:16:57,782
          - Reindeer.

417
00:16:57,817 --> 00:17:00,184
  - Nah, that's eight letters.

418
00:17:00,220 --> 00:17:01,686
           That's it!

419
00:17:03,156 --> 00:17:05,256
          - What's it?
           - Letters.

420
00:17:05,291 --> 00:17:08,292
   The kind that kids send to
  Santa by air, land, and sea?

421
00:17:08,328 --> 00:17:10,561
And what has letters aplenty?

422
00:17:10,597 --> 00:17:11,963
           - Mailbox.

423
00:17:11,998 --> 00:17:15,299
        - M-a-i-l-b-o-x.
         Seven letters.

424
00:17:15,335 --> 00:17:19,370
       - This key belongs
     to a mailbox in town.

425
00:17:19,406 --> 00:17:20,872
          - But where?

426
00:17:20,907 --> 00:17:23,474
  - I have until 7:30 tonight
      to figure that out.

435
00:17:46,299 --> 00:17:48,633
- What trees have four sides?

436
00:17:48,668 --> 00:17:51,402
   What thing with four sides
           has trees?

        - Neither did I.

  avalanche of almond lattes.

  I'm gonna be back there now.

       do wanna do this!

533
00:21:57,950 --> 00:22:00,151
           - Do you?

534
00:22:00,186 --> 00:22:02,520

        at the hospital.

535
00:22:02,555 --> 00:22:04,889
     - It's our busy season

00:22:04,924 --> 00:22:06,657

537
00:22:06,693 --> 00:22:08,426
    - It's a big risk, yeah.
       - But if we did--

538
00:22:08,461 --> 00:22:09,760
      - It is interesting.

539
00:22:09,796 --> 00:22:11,662

       you see every day.

00:22:11,698 --> 00:22:12,897
       - Definitely not.

          if you are.

00:22:16,202 --> 00:22:18,336

     - Great, I'm in, too.

548
00:22:30,483 --> 00:22:32,550

   I could find some sponges?

549
00:22:32,585 --> 00:22:34,685
 - Oh, so you're not just here
           to see me.

550
00:22:34,721 --> 00:22:36,187
     - Hmm, happy accident.
             - Hmm.

00:22:36,222 --> 00:22:38,222
    - I just need to pick up
    some cleaning supplies,

552
00:22:38,257 --> 00:22:40,291
   and I didn't even know you
          worked here.

553
00:22:40,326 --> 00:22:42,293
   - It's my father's store.

554
00:22:42,328 --> 00:22:43,994
    Sponges are over there.

555
00:22:45,064 --> 00:22:47,932
 What else can I help you find?
    - Uh, I'm good, thanks.

556
00:22:47,967 --> 00:22:50,267
- I thought we were
     working together now.

557
00:22:51,671 --> 00:22:53,771
         - Fair enough.
        Feather duster?

558
00:22:53,806 --> 00:22:55,439
    - Next to the squeegees.
              See?

559
00:22:55,475 --> 00:22:57,375
     We make a great team.
            - Cute.

560
00:22:57,410 --> 00:22:59,377
 - So, when do you wanna start?

561
00:22:59,412 --> 00:23:01,245
      - I could meet after
         my shift ends.

562
00:23:01,280 --> 00:23:03,381
     - Great. See you then.

563
00:23:03,416 --> 00:23:05,249
    Jackson, a word, please?

          - That's m

00:23:11,224 --> 00:23:13,257
      - Nice to meet you,
       I'm Dr. Stafford.

566
00:23:13,292 --> 00:23:14,892
        Right this way.

567
00:23:14,927 --> 00:23:16,527
When did the pain
       in your hip begin?

568
00:23:16,562 --> 00:23:18,062
        - This morning.

569
00:23:18,097 --> 00:23:19,597
  I could barely get outta bed
     to bring myself here.

570
00:23:19,632 --> 00:23:21,265
 - Oh, I'm sorry to hear that.

571
00:23:21,300 --> 00:23:23,401
  We'll start with a physical
 exam and see what's going on.

572
00:23:23,436 --> 00:23:25,202
   - I looked my symptoms up
            online,

573
00:23:25,238 --> 00:23:27,872
   and I may have a very rare
           condition,

574
00:23:27,907 --> 00:23:30,274
       and it's called...
      what was it called?

575
00:23:30,309 --> 00:23:31,742
     It begins with an 'L'.

576
00:23:31,778 --> 00:23:33,677
      - Let's not focus on
         what might be,

577
00:23:33,713 --> 00:23:36,213
and instead focus on what
   we learn, Mr. McAllister.

578
00:23:36,249 --> 00:23:37,715
          - Thank you,
      that's a good idea.

579
00:23:37,750 --> 00:23:39,950
    Oh, and before I forget,

580
00:23:39,986 --> 00:23:42,286
     my symptoms also match
      this other condition

581
00:23:42,321 --> 00:23:43,921
       that I saw online,

582
00:23:43,956 --> 00:23:46,190
      and the photos of it
   were absolutely terrible!

583
00:23:46,225 --> 00:23:47,691
    Now, I'm very concerned
           about that

584
00:23:47,727 --> 00:23:49,627
   because I had an uncle...

     after that, but yeah,

We'd buy beads, and glitter,

00:25:33,332 --> 00:25:35,199
     and water-based paint.

633

 We'd design little landscapes,

     Give it another shot.

688
00:27:46,699 --> 00:27:48,499
           It's okay,
     I can hold it for you.

689
00:27:48,534 --> 00:27:50,267
           Robbie...
       - I can't do this.

690
00:27:50,302 --> 00:27:52,970
        - Hi. I'm Kate.
       What's your name?

691
00:27:53,005 --> 00:27:54,438
           - Robbie.

692
00:27:54,473 --> 00:27:56,106
   - Must be hard decorating
           ornaments

693
00:27:56,142 --> 00:27:57,708
    with your arm in a cast.

694
00:27:57,743 --> 00:27:59,677
       - Yeah, the doctor
        put it on today.

695
00:27:59,712 --> 00:28:01,679
   - He was a trooper through
        the whole thing.

696
00:28:01,714 --> 00:28:05,015
- You know, some kids have
their friends sign their casts.

697
00:28:05,051 --> 00:28:07,151
       Would you like us
         to sign yours?

698
00:28:09,055 --> 00:28:11,722
     - Say, is that a C-130
       you've got there?

699
00:28:11,757 --> 00:28:13,223
      - How did you know?

700
00:28:13,259 --> 00:28:14,825
    - Well, I just got back
      from the Air Force,

701
00:28:14,860 --> 00:28:16,527
 where I was a para-rescue man,

702
00:28:16,562 --> 00:28:18,562
   which means I jumped outta
  planes, just like that one.

703
00:28:18,597 --> 00:28:20,064
           - Really?
            - Yeah.

704
00:28:20,099 --> 00:28:22,700
  Except, a couple years ago,
         I hurt my leg

705
00:28:22,735 --> 00:28:24,568
 and I had to wear a cast too,

706
00:28:24,603 --> 00:28:25,903
but I wasn't gonna let that
            stop me.

707
00:28:25,938 --> 00:28:27,705
 I could have fun in all kinds
         of other ways.

708
00:28:27,740 --> 00:28:29,873
          - Like how?

709
00:28:29,909 --> 00:28:32,543
  Kate: Well, just because you
  can't decorate an ornament,

710
00:28:32,578 --> 00:28:34,211
        doesn't mean you
        can't make one.

711
00:28:34,246 --> 00:28:35,979
 - That's right! The nice thing
   about Christmas trees is,

712
00:28:36,015 --> 00:28:37,581
      anything can become
          an ornament.

713
00:28:37,616 --> 00:28:39,316
      - Like my airplane?

714
00:28:39,351 --> 00:28:41,018
        - (Snap fingers)
         Exactly, dude.

715
00:28:41,053 --> 00:28:42,853
     We can just rest it in
    the branches, you know.

716
00:28:42,888 --> 00:28:44,855
- Or you can make it
       an actual ornament

717
00:28:44,890 --> 00:28:47,825
   by adding a bit of ribbon.
     - Oh, there's an idea.

718
00:28:47,860 --> 00:28:49,593
        - There you go.

719
00:28:49,628 --> 00:28:52,563
   And get your finger right
         in the middle.

720
00:28:52,598 --> 00:28:54,098
         Ready? There!

721
00:28:54,133 --> 00:28:56,166
           Finished.
            - Whoa!

722
00:28:56,202 --> 00:28:58,535
   - Well, not quite. May I?

723
00:28:58,571 --> 00:29:00,671
   Just one finishing touch.

724
00:29:02,041 --> 00:29:03,540
              Mhm.

728
00:29:15,988 --> 00:29:17,755
          - Of course!
          - (Chuckles)

729
00:29:17,790 --> 00:29:20,390
      - It's official now.
- (Plane engine sounds)

730
00:29:20,426 --> 00:29:23,327
       - It's beautiful.
          - Really is.

731
00:29:24,296 --> 00:29:26,997
      But you know, what,
    it's missing one thing.

732
00:29:29,235 --> 00:29:30,934
     (Hushed) Get up there!

733
00:29:30,970 --> 00:29:33,103
        - Airman Robbie,
    please report for duty.

00:30:14,647 --> 00:30:15,946
             What?

747
00:30:15,981 --> 00:30:18,081
         - No, nothing,
           it's just,

748
00:30:18,117 --> 00:30:20,083
     you were really great
    with Robbie back there.

749
00:30:20,119 --> 00:30:22,553
   - Oh, is that a compliment
            I hear?

750
00:30:22,588 --> 00:30:25,222
  - More a statement of fact.
            - Okay.

751
00:30:25,257 --> 00:30:27,324
- Not everyone has good bedside
            manner.

752
00:30:27,359 --> 00:30:28,959
  - Well, doctor, it was uh...

753
00:30:29,762 --> 00:30:32,996
  kinda nice working together.
        - Yeah. It was.

754
00:30:33,032 --> 00:30:34,932
             - Hmm.

755
00:30:34,967 --> 00:30:38,001
   - Oh, uh, we're forgetting
           something.

756
00:30:38,037 --> 00:30:39,937
- The "no peeking" envelope.

757
00:30:39,972 --> 00:30:42,239
      How could we forget
       to peek at the...

758
00:30:42,274 --> 00:30:43,807
    (In unison) "no peeking"
           envelope?

      what we've got here.

761
00:30:48,113 --> 00:30:50,080

    I wonder what it means?

767
00:31:00,626 --> 00:31:01,792
             - Hmm.

768
00:31:01,827 --> 00:31:04,995
- But it'll have to wait 'cause
I have to start my rounds.

769
00:31:05,030 --> 00:31:08,131
   - Yeah, I've got a meeting
   at the VA Staffing Agency.

00:31:08,167 --> 00:31:10,300
       Um, meet up after?

771
00:31:11,670 --> 00:31:14,037
            - Sure.
            - Okay.
            - Yeah.

772
00:31:14,073 --> 00:31:16,139
       And don't solve it
          without me.

 zeroed in on that, quite yet.

          eventually.

- Not my strong suit.

811
00:32:52,404 --> 00:32:53,937
           - No, sir.

812

813
00:32:55,808 --> 00:32:58,575
  what if I'm not good at it?
           - At what?

814
00:32:58,610 --> 00:33:00,077
         - Fatherhood!

815
00:33:00,112 --> 00:33:02,346
     It's a whole different
           ball game.

816
00:33:03,148 --> 00:33:05,215
  My kid's gonna be depending
             on me.

817
00:33:05,250 --> 00:33:07,918
   - Listen, I know it's not
     the same thing at all,

818
00:33:07,953 --> 00:33:10,387
     but my first few weeks
       in the Air Force,

819
00:33:10,422 --> 00:33:12,656
        I was terrified.

820
00:33:12,691 --> 00:33:14,758
 - So, how'd you deal with it?

821
00:33:14,793 --> 00:33:17,394
     - Well, I just trusted

822
00:33:17,429 --> 00:33:19,396
   that even if I didn't have
all the answers,

823
00:33:19,431 --> 00:33:21,798
I knew when it came down to it,
    I'd do the right thing.

00:33:23,002 --> 00:33:24,968
    - Yeah, I hope I can get
         to that point.

825
00:33:25,004 --> 00:33:26,670
        - You will, man.

826
00:33:26,705 --> 00:33:28,505
     - Hey, how's that um,
      Christmas mystery...

827
00:33:28,540 --> 00:33:30,974
   clue... riddle hunt thing
        with Kate going?

828
00:33:31,010 --> 00:33:32,843
       - Oh, is that what
       we're calling it?

829
00:33:32,878 --> 00:33:34,244
- That's what I'm calling it. -
             Okay.

830
00:33:34,279 --> 00:33:36,513

           It's uh...

831
00:33:36,548 --> 00:33:38,682
it's actually going pretty well.

832
00:33:38,717 --> 00:33:40,984
            - Kevin?
- Hi.

833
00:33:41,020 --> 00:33:44,121
- I was hoping to see you soon!
        Oh, my goodness!

834
00:33:44,156 --> 00:33:46,523
  - Congratulations in person.
          Look at you!

835
00:33:46,558 --> 00:33:49,459
  - Oh, thanks! It feels like
    it's happening so fast.

836
00:33:49,495 --> 00:33:51,495
         - So exciting!

837
00:33:51,530 --> 00:33:53,697
    - Oh, look at this crib!

838
00:33:53,732 --> 00:33:56,166
             - Hmm?
       - It's wonderful.

839
00:33:57,169 --> 00:33:59,036
Kevin, can you stay for dinner?

840
00:33:59,071 --> 00:34:01,371
       - I can't tonight.
    I'm sorry, I have plans.

841
00:34:01,407 --> 00:34:03,673
          - Next time.
   - I'm so glad you're back.

842
00:34:03,709 --> 00:34:05,342
       - Good to see you.
           - You too!

843
00:34:06,145 --> 00:34:08,845
- Now, what else can I fix
          around here

844
00:34:08,881 --> 00:34:10,347
 and give you credit for, huh?

¶¶¶

846
00:34:15,154 --> 00:34:17,054
   - Read me the clue again?

847
00:34:17,089 --> 00:34:19,856
        - Okay. (reads)
    "Christmas clock rewind,

848
00:34:19,892 --> 00:34:22,359
      between Then and Now
          you'll find,

849
00:34:22,394 --> 00:34:24,728
 a chance for Christmas cheer,

850
00:34:24,763 --> 00:34:28,031
   connecting far and near."

851
00:34:28,067 --> 00:34:30,167
   - "Between Then and Now."

852
00:34:30,202 --> 00:34:32,469
    Hmm, this is a fun one!

853
00:34:33,272 --> 00:34:35,372
    - I didn't know you were
       so into all this.

854
00:34:35,407 --> 00:34:37,474
 - Well... I owe it to my Dad.

855
00:34:38,277 --> 00:34:40,210
      Every Sunday morning
   we'd do crossword puzzles

856
00:34:40,245 --> 00:34:41,912
in the newspaper together,

857
00:34:41,947 --> 00:34:43,113
  and jigsaw puzzles at night.

858
00:34:43,148 --> 00:34:46,216
  - Oh, so you were his little
  puzzle apprentice, were you?

859
00:34:46,251 --> 00:34:48,652
     - Yeah, I guess I was.
           (Chuckles)

860
00:34:49,488 --> 00:34:51,054
       Sometimes I wonder
   if it's one of the reasons

861
00:34:51,090 --> 00:34:53,657
      I got into medicine.

862
00:34:53,692 --> 00:34:55,692
     Getting to the bottom
        of a challenge.

863
00:34:55,727 --> 00:34:57,828
        Examining clues.

864
00:34:57,863 --> 00:34:59,396
       Unlocking answers.

865
00:35:00,732 --> 00:35:02,332
             What?

866
00:35:02,367 --> 00:35:04,101
 - Oh, nothing, that's just one
     of the things I loved

867
00:35:04,136 --> 00:35:05,902
 about being in the Air Force -

868
00:35:05,938 --> 00:35:08,572
the strategizing,
      the problem solving.

869
00:35:08,607 --> 00:35:11,508
  It's like, putting together
           a puzzle.

     Do you need any help?

873
00:35:21,720 --> 00:35:23,787
         - Oh, hey Ma!

874
00:35:23,822 --> 00:35:25,522
         - Hey, Kevin!
          - Hi there.

875
00:35:25,557 --> 00:35:27,557
   - Hey, no, I'm fine honey,
           thank you.

876
00:35:27,593 --> 00:35:29,059
 - What've you got there, Mom?

877
00:35:29,094 --> 00:35:31,261
   - Just a little Christmas
           shopping.

878
00:35:31,296 --> 00:35:33,430
           - For me?
  - (Giggles) If you're lucky.

879
00:35:33,465 --> 00:35:35,398
     - You know, Christmas,
it's only a week away.

880
00:35:35,434 --> 00:35:37,100
    Kate, what are you doing
        tomorrow night?

881
00:35:37,136 --> 00:35:39,102
  - Well, I'm not on rotation
        at the hospital,

882
00:35:39,138 --> 00:35:40,871
       so I'll probably--
         - Okay, well,

883
00:35:40,906 --> 00:35:42,772
 the correct answer is, you're
    coming over to our house

884
00:35:42,808 --> 00:35:44,107
          for dinner.
      Arnold and I insist.

885
00:35:44,143 --> 00:35:45,876
  - Oh, I don't wanna impose.

886
00:35:45,911 --> 00:35:47,878
   - A little bit of advice,
     don't try to fight it.

887
00:35:47,913 --> 00:35:49,746
         - Okay, then.
          - Excellent.

888
00:35:49,781 --> 00:35:51,648
  Okay, I gotta run, but I'll
see you tomorrow night.

889
00:35:51,683 --> 00:35:53,517
        - See you, then.
      - Great to see you.

890
00:35:54,386 --> 00:35:56,620
     Never one to take 'no'
         for an answer.

       looks incredible.

893
00:36:02,861 --> 00:36:04,761
    - Yeah! It's gonna look
          even better

894
00:36:04,796 --> 00:36:06,396
       once Dad and I put
     the finishing touches

895
00:36:06,431 --> 00:36:08,131
   on Santa's house, though.
            - What?

896
00:36:08,167 --> 00:36:10,133
    - Yeah, Matthews Family
     Hardware has sponsored

897
00:36:10,169 --> 00:36:12,769
   and built Santa's Village
 every year since I was a kid.

898

     <i> it's grown since then.</i>

899

        - I had no idea.
  Why didn't you say anything?

900
00:36:16,975 --> 00:36:18,675
        Man: You ready?!
     - You never asked me.

        <i> (Whistle blows)</i>

902
00:36:22,347 --> 00:36:24,414
     - Oh! Oh, I used to do
       the reindeer races

903
00:36:24,449 --> 00:36:26,316
    every year, growing up.

  a row, don't mind my saying.

905
00:36:29,688 --> 00:36:31,454
      - Mildly impressive.

906
00:36:31,490 --> 00:36:33,156
        - Whadda ya say?

907
00:36:33,192 --> 00:36:35,926
 - With your knee? That's not,
not the best idea. No.

908
00:36:35,961 --> 00:36:38,495
 - Afraid of a little friendly
      competition, are we?

         <i> - Oh, please.</i>

911
00:36:43,835 --> 00:36:46,269
         - Okay, fine.
            - Great.

           or Comet?

 - Oh please, Comet, for sure.
        - Yeah, typical.

     Everyone always wants
          to be Comet.

  ornament-decorating skills.

    of track in high school.

  <i> to this exhibit every year.</i>
<i>He was very into local history.</i>

964
00:38:46,525 --> 00:38:49,526
  Actually... it's still here!

965
00:38:50,796 --> 00:38:52,329
              Wow!

966
00:38:52,364 --> 00:38:53,930
      (Floorboards creak)

967
00:38:53,965 --> 00:38:55,498
   My grandfather built this.

968
00:38:55,534 --> 00:38:57,701
   - Was he from Cedar Park?
           - He was!

969
00:38:57,736 --> 00:38:59,836
 But he spent half of his life
     in the Army Air Corps

970
00:38:59,871 --> 00:39:01,504
stationed all around the world.

971
00:39:01,540 --> 00:39:03,506
     - Wow! I can't believe
       he built all this!

972
00:39:03,542 --> 00:39:05,675
           <i> - I know!</i>
<i> Every Christmas morning,</i>

973
00:39:05,711 --> 00:39:07,243
      <i> he'd let me help him</i>
        <i> put it together.</i>

974
00:39:07,279 --> 00:39:10,347
   We'd lay down the streets
     and the little trees.

975
00:39:10,382 --> 00:39:12,682
 My favourite part was building
     the houses, of course.

976
00:39:14,052 --> 00:39:15,552
  And then when he donated it
         to the museum,

977
00:39:15,587 --> 00:39:17,554
   we'd come here every year
     and look at it again.

978
00:39:17,589 --> 00:39:19,689
   It was like a cute little
         family thing.

979
00:39:21,159 --> 00:39:24,427
   And of course, I was also
    always here... for that.

980
00:39:25,897 --> 00:39:28,832
  - Oh! Oh, oh! Look at that!

981
00:39:29,634 --> 00:39:32,135
Of course, you did!
    This thing's a classic!

982
00:39:32,170 --> 00:39:33,937
           - Right?!
          - (Chuckles)

983
00:39:33,972 --> 00:39:35,472
      - Isn't it amazing?

984
00:39:35,507 --> 00:39:38,808
      Oh, I always wanted
    to ride in it as a kid,

985
00:39:38,844 --> 00:39:41,911
   but McAllister would never
    let it leave the museum.

986
00:39:41,947 --> 00:39:44,647
   God, this sure brings back
  a lot of good, old memories.

987
00:39:44,683 --> 00:39:46,883
      You know, even if we
    don't solve the riddle,

988
00:39:46,918 --> 00:39:49,119
  it was worth it to come here
just to see all this old stuff.

989
00:39:49,154 --> 00:39:51,287
        - Well, hang on,
     let's not give up yet.

990
00:39:51,323 --> 00:39:52,956
- Right.

991
00:39:52,991 --> 00:39:54,290
   - "Christmas clock rewind
       brought us here."

992
00:39:54,326 --> 00:39:56,059
  So, what was the next line?

993
00:39:56,094 --> 00:39:58,928
  - Uh, "between Then and Now,
         you'll find."

994
00:39:58,964 --> 00:40:01,965
      - Okay... let's see.

995
00:40:02,000 --> 00:40:04,033
     Oh! Could this be it?

996
00:40:04,836 --> 00:40:07,237
    Vintage holiday outfits
       from "back then"?

997
00:40:07,272 --> 00:40:09,506
       - Well, if it is,
     I don't see any clues,

998
00:40:09,541 --> 00:40:11,307
      and they are closing
       in a few minutes.

999
00:40:11,343 --> 00:40:13,143
         - Yeah, well,
      keep your eyes out.

1000
00:40:13,178 --> 00:40:14,844
    We can always come back
           tomorrow.

1001
00:40:14,880 --> 00:40:18,114
- Oh! Kate, look!
         - (Gasps) Yes!

1002
00:40:18,150 --> 00:40:19,883
     - Gotta be it, right?
             Yeah.

1003
00:40:21,987 --> 00:40:23,686
          <i> Ha! Ha! Ha!</i>

    <i> Kate: Another envelope!</i>

1005
00:40:25,457 --> 00:40:27,257
      - And another thing
       I can't open now.

1006
00:40:27,292 --> 00:40:29,659
- Ah don't even think about it.
           - I won't.

1007
00:40:31,530 --> 00:40:33,463
  - (reads) "Congratulations!

1011
00:40:41,973 --> 00:40:44,340

 be quite the little adventure.

1012
00:40:44,376 --> 00:40:46,209
            - Right?
             - Ha.

 <i> Kate: So, your hip is better,</i>
    <i> but now it's your knee?</i>

1016
00:40:54,553 --> 00:40:56,619
  - Well, you wouldn't believe
     it, but this morning,

1017
00:40:56,655 --> 00:40:58,455
      I felt I was walking
         on hot coals.

1018
00:40:58,490 --> 00:41:00,457
  - So, it's your foot, then?

1019
00:41:00,492 --> 00:41:02,525
          Don't worry,
 we'll check for inflammation.

1020
00:41:02,561 --> 00:41:04,360
  See what we can do for you,
        Mr. McAllister.

1021
00:41:04,396 --> 00:41:06,129
- You know, I looked online,

1022
00:41:06,164 --> 00:41:07,897
    and somebody said, that
    there's a rare condition

1023
00:41:07,933 --> 00:41:09,632
     where pain in your hip
    can migrate to your knee

1024
00:41:09,668 --> 00:41:11,134
         and then go--

1025
00:41:11,169 --> 00:41:12,669
       - Mr. McAllister,
     it's wonderful to hear

1026
00:41:12,704 --> 00:41:14,571
   that your hip is no longer
         bothering you,

1027
00:41:14,606 --> 00:41:16,706
  but considering it went away
     as quickly as it came,

1028
00:41:16,741 --> 00:41:18,708
    I'm not quite convinced
     the two are connected.

1029
00:41:18,743 --> 00:41:20,710
     But don't worry, we'll
    get to the bottom of it.

1030
00:41:20,745 --> 00:41:22,912
   - Thank you, Dr. Stafford.
That's quite a relief.

1031
00:41:22,948 --> 00:41:25,482
          - Of course.
       (Door clicks shut)

1032
00:41:25,517 --> 00:41:28,017
   Mr. McAllister, can I ask
   you an unrelated question?

1033
00:41:28,053 --> 00:41:29,385
            - Sure.

1034
00:41:29,421 --> 00:41:32,222
  - If you were to receive...
        (Turns water on)

1035
00:41:32,257 --> 00:41:34,991
 a message of Christmas cheer,
 from someone you didn't know,

1036
00:41:35,026 --> 00:41:37,427
         would you want
       a Christmas card,

1037
00:41:37,462 --> 00:41:39,596
    or personalized cookies,

1038
00:41:39,631 --> 00:41:41,431
 or I don't know, sky writing?

1039
00:41:41,466 --> 00:41:43,766
    - Christmas is the last
  thing on my mind right now.

1040
00:41:43,802 --> 00:41:45,401
       (Turns water off)

1041
00:41:45,437 --> 00:41:47,170
- Really?

1042
00:41:47,205 --> 00:41:50,006
    What about the Christmas
     exhibit at the museum?

1043
00:41:50,041 --> 00:41:51,741
          - You know,
    I think the pain has...

1044
00:41:51,776 --> 00:41:53,543
  has moved to my other foot.

1045
00:41:53,578 --> 00:41:55,678
       We should get this
      checked out quickly.

1046
00:41:55,714 --> 00:41:57,247
    - Of course. I'll um...

1047
00:41:57,282 --> 00:41:59,182
       I'll order x-rays,
          right away.

1048
00:41:59,217 --> 00:42:00,583
      - Thank you, doctor.

             Kevin

1053
00:42:15,800 --> 00:42:17,534
     telling this elaborate
          story about

1054
00:42:17,569 --> 00:42:20,236
how the dog ate the entire
 blueberry pie, and meanwhile--

1055
00:42:20,272 --> 00:42:22,438
    - And meanwhile, Kevin's
  teeth were completely blue.

1058
00:42:27,012 --> 00:42:29,078
  on the embarrassing stories?
          - What? No!

1059
00:42:29,114 --> 00:42:30,880
      It's half the reason
        I came tonight.

       a different story?

1062
00:42:35,353 --> 00:42:38,221
     How did you two meet?
             - Ooh.

1063
00:42:38,256 --> 00:42:40,623
           - Well...
        - Oh. Well, um,

1064
00:42:40,659 --> 00:42:42,792
I actually came here for work,
       just for a month.

1065
00:42:42,827 --> 00:42:45,128
   - Our paths never crossed.
        - That's right.

1066
00:42:45,163 --> 00:42:47,230
       And I was actually
    driving home to Dallas--

1067
00:42:47,265 --> 00:42:49,599
      - Yep, and then um,
    and your car broke down.

1068
00:42:49,634 --> 00:42:51,634
 - Yeah, and I had to be towed
   right back to Cedar Park.

1069
00:42:51,670 --> 00:42:54,604
   - Yeah. Now, at that time,
  I was working as a mechanic,

1070
00:42:54,639 --> 00:42:56,806
   <i> you know. So, your mother</i>
           <i> comes in,</i>

1071
00:42:56,841 --> 00:42:58,908
 <i> and she's asking me all kinds</i>
      <i> of questions about,</i>

1072
00:42:58,944 --> 00:43:00,743
"How much is it gonna cost?"

1073
00:43:00,779 --> 00:43:02,245
And "How long is it gonna take?"

1074
00:43:02,280 --> 00:43:04,247
   - I thought it would be an
    hour, tops, by the way.

1075
00:43:04,282 --> 00:43:05,915
      - Yeah, well a week,

1076
00:43:05,951 --> 00:43:07,517
and a delayed carburetor later,

1077
00:43:07,552 --> 00:43:09,752
    the car was good to go.
     - Yeah. But I wasn't,

1078
00:43:09,788 --> 00:43:11,688
   because I'd fallen in love
       with the mechanic.

1079
00:43:11,723 --> 00:43:13,923
   - Hmm. And we were engaged
  by the end of the year, huh?

1080
00:43:13,959 --> 00:43:16,526
             - Hmm.
      - That's beautiful.

1081
00:43:16,561 --> 00:43:18,761
   - We put our announcement
     in our Christmas card.

1082
00:43:18,797 --> 00:43:20,597
        - Yeah, we did!
- Actually...

1083

1085
00:43:28,807 --> 00:43:30,807
     - Yeah, it feels like
        yesterday, huh?

1086
00:43:30,842 --> 00:43:34,177
    - Look at all that hair.
      - Oh, you stop, you.

1087
00:43:34,212 --> 00:43:35,712
         (All chuckle)

1088
00:43:35,747 --> 00:43:38,615
 - Yes, mom likes to put these
      out every Christmas.

1089
00:43:38,650 --> 00:43:40,516
     - Well, I can see why.
          - Thank you.

1090
00:43:40,552 --> 00:43:42,685
         - Kevin, look,

1091
00:43:42,721 --> 00:43:44,520
     it's you and Grandpa.
             - Ooh.

1092
00:43:44,556 --> 00:43:46,189
            - Yeah.

1093
00:43:46,224 --> 00:43:48,658
- Oh, look at those
         frosted tips!

1094
00:43:48,693 --> 00:43:50,693
- Hey, it was cool at the time,
     and you know it, okay?

1095
00:43:50,729 --> 00:43:52,895
    - Yeah, well, so were my
        feathered bangs.

1096
00:43:52,931 --> 00:43:54,864
        - I have no idea
      why I thought that.

1097
00:43:54,899 --> 00:43:57,233
   - Wait, is that... is that
     the model of the town

1098
00:43:57,268 --> 00:43:59,135
   that we saw at the museum?
  Kevin: The very same, yeah.

1099
00:43:59,170 --> 00:44:00,536
     - Such sweet memories.

1100
00:44:00,572 --> 00:44:02,672
  Every card is like a little
         time capsule.

1101
00:44:03,742 --> 00:44:06,409
         - Oh, Grandpa.
            - Yeah.

1102
00:44:06,444 --> 00:44:08,411
- You know, I always loved
         getting cards

1103
00:44:08,446 --> 00:44:10,079
      when I was overseas.

1104
00:44:10,115 --> 00:44:12,415
  Made me feel closer to home.

1105
00:44:12,450 --> 00:44:14,384
      - Kevin, that's it.
            - What?

1106
00:44:14,419 --> 00:44:16,319
      - Why don't we send
        Christmas cards

1107
00:44:16,354 --> 00:44:19,355
    to the troops overseas?
            - Yeah.

1108
00:44:19,391 --> 00:44:21,090
   - Wait, well what's this?

1109
00:44:21,126 --> 00:44:23,359
     - The...the next step
      with the riddles is,

1110
00:44:23,395 --> 00:44:24,560
  send a message of Christmas
             cheer

1111
00:44:24,596 --> 00:44:26,229
   to someone you don't know.

1112
00:44:26,264 --> 00:44:28,164
- Yeah, we could send Christmas
             cards

1113
00:44:28,199 --> 00:44:29,832
to American servicemen
           and women.

1114
00:44:29,868 --> 00:44:31,834
  That would definitely count.
         - Absolutely!

1115
00:44:31,870 --> 00:44:33,603
   - That's a wonderful idea.

1116
00:44:33,638 --> 00:44:35,672
    - Or we could take a cue
        from the museum

1117
00:44:35,707 --> 00:44:37,573
          and send one
      from the whole town.

1118
00:44:37,609 --> 00:44:39,676
  The residents of Cedar Park
       wishing the troops

1119
00:44:39,711 --> 00:44:42,045
       a Merry Christmas.
          - I love it.

1120
00:44:42,080 --> 00:44:43,846
         But that is...
     it's a lot of people.

1121
00:44:43,882 --> 00:44:45,581
   - Yeah, and it's only six
      days 'til Christmas.

1122
00:44:45,617 --> 00:44:47,750
   - Oh yeah, it's not gonna
get there in time.

1123
00:44:47,786 --> 00:44:49,919
    - Oh! How about we send
        a video message?

1124
00:44:49,954 --> 00:44:52,455
     - Like a video collage
     of people around town

1125
00:44:52,490 --> 00:44:54,357
       wishing the troops
       a Merry Christmas.

1126
00:44:54,392 --> 00:44:56,426
    - Jackson would help you
   with the video equipment.

1127
00:44:56,461 --> 00:44:58,027
           - Oh yeah!
       - We can do this,

1128
00:44:58,063 --> 00:44:59,896
     if we do it together.
     I'll tell my friends--

1129
00:44:59,931 --> 00:45:01,798
         - Yeah, yeah,
    I can do the same, yeah!

1130
00:45:01,833 --> 00:45:03,766
     - I can tell customers
         at the store.

1131
00:45:03,802 --> 00:45:06,402
   - I'm sure I can get a few
doctors and nurses on board.

1132
00:45:06,438 --> 00:45:08,771
 - Everybody's gonna be really
 excited to be a part of this.

1133
00:45:08,807 --> 00:45:09,872
             - Mhm.

1134
00:45:09,908 --> 00:45:12,208
- Great, and then I can send it
      to a friend of mine

1135
00:45:12,243 --> 00:45:14,043
     at Air Force Outreach,
     who can distribute it.

1136
00:45:15,780 --> 00:45:17,947
          Great idea.
       - (Kate chuckles)

1137
00:45:18,783 --> 00:45:21,284
 Jackson: Okay, check this out.
        30.4 megapixel,

1138
00:45:21,319 --> 00:45:23,453
       full-frame sensor
   for superb video quality.

1139
00:45:23,488 --> 00:45:25,822
   Lithium batteries, to keep
    you going all day long.

1140
00:45:25,857 --> 00:45:27,757
      And the built-in mic
is not so bad either.

1141
00:45:27,792 --> 00:45:29,625
    - Doesn't this all seem
          a bit much?

1142
00:45:29,661 --> 00:45:31,627
   - Yeah, man, we don't even
        know how to work

1143
00:45:31,663 --> 00:45:33,262
      half of this stuff.

1144
00:45:33,298 --> 00:45:34,897
          - Well, hey,
     that is why I'm here.

1145
00:45:34,933 --> 00:45:36,499
     I may not know my way
         around a crib,

1146
00:45:36,534 --> 00:45:38,434
     but I know how to make
     your video look good.

1147
00:45:38,470 --> 00:45:39,936
        - Okay, well um,

1148
00:45:39,971 --> 00:45:41,671
       Liz also said that
      she wanted to help.

1149
00:45:41,706 --> 00:45:43,940
  She offered to bring a bunch
    of festive accessories.

1150
00:45:43,975 --> 00:45:45,074
      - Oh, there you go.

1151
00:45:45,110 --> 00:45:47,510
See, you got yourself a
 cinematographer and a stylist.

1152
00:45:47,545 --> 00:45:48,811
 You're in the big leagues now!

1153
00:45:48,847 --> 00:45:50,480
     - I guess we are, huh?

1154
00:45:50,515 --> 00:45:52,648
  - Alright. What's the first
        shot, Spielberg?

1155
00:45:52,684 --> 00:45:54,784
    - Okay, so I'm thinking
        a sweeping shot

1156
00:45:54,819 --> 00:45:57,286
   of a bunch of kids having
    an epic snowball fight.

1157
00:45:57,322 --> 00:45:59,188
   One of them gets hit right
       in the eye, right?

1158
00:45:59,224 --> 00:46:01,491
    And then I rush over to
  the kid, and I help him out.

1159
00:46:02,861 --> 00:46:06,796
      (Low hum of chatter)

1160
00:46:06,831 --> 00:46:08,164
        Kate: You ready?
   Arnold: Yeah, I'm alright.

1161
00:46:08,199 --> 00:46:10,032
¶ Are you ready
        for Christmas? ¶

1162
00:46:10,068 --> 00:46:12,268
   ¶ We'll be having a ball ¶

1163
00:46:12,303 --> 00:46:14,003
      - Thank you for all
          that you do.

1164
00:46:14,038 --> 00:46:15,772
  - Peace and joy to everyone.

1165
00:46:15,807 --> 00:46:17,673
     Both: Merry Christmas!

1166
00:46:17,709 --> 00:46:19,776
   Jackson: Okay, big smiles,
        everybody! Okay!

1167
00:46:21,212 --> 00:46:23,346
        - From all of us
        at Cedar Park--

1168
00:46:23,381 --> 00:46:25,214
      All: Happy Holidays!

1169
00:46:25,250 --> 00:46:26,649
      - Beautiful. (Claps)

1170
00:46:26,684 --> 00:46:28,451
  Kevin: Okay, you guys ready?

1171
00:46:28,486 --> 00:46:31,487
    Alright. And... action.

1172
00:46:31,523 --> 00:46:33,156
 - To all of you over there...

1173
00:46:33,191 --> 00:46:34,624
   Both: Season's Greetings.

1174
00:46:34,659 --> 00:46:37,026
- Happy Hanukkah.
         Feliz Navidad.

1175
00:46:38,563 --> 00:46:40,096
       That's the spirit.
       Okay, ready and...

1176
00:46:41,065 --> 00:46:42,465
            action!

1177
00:46:42,500 --> 00:46:44,467
    - Supporting our troops
      this Holiday Season,

1178
00:46:44,502 --> 00:46:47,036
       - Merry Christmas
   from Cedar Park Hospital!

1179
00:46:47,071 --> 00:46:48,504
           (Applause)

1180
00:46:48,540 --> 00:46:50,006
        - Cut. Perfect!

1181
00:46:50,041 --> 00:46:51,374
     Come and have a look.

1182
00:46:51,409 --> 00:46:53,309
 Uh, how do you uh, make this--
         - Right here.

1183
00:46:53,344 --> 00:46:54,710
          - You do it.
           - Alright.

1184
00:46:54,746 --> 00:46:56,813
   This is gonna be the best
     Christmas video ever.

1185
00:46:56,848 --> 00:46:58,781
Carolyn: Yeah. Cute!

1186
00:47:01,619 --> 00:47:03,486
        - From all of us
        at Cedar Park...

1187
00:47:03,521 --> 00:47:06,055
      All: Happy Holidays!

1188
00:47:07,692 --> 00:47:10,293
   - The video's really good!
           - I know!

1189
00:47:10,328 --> 00:47:12,662
   And underscoring it with a
  Christmas carol, great idea.

1190
00:47:12,697 --> 00:47:14,797
   - Thanks. I do love a good
        Christmas carol.

1191
00:47:15,767 --> 00:47:18,201
 - Alright, now we've just got
   to wait for it to export,

1192
00:47:18,236 --> 00:47:19,502
          (Keys clack)

1193
00:47:19,537 --> 00:47:21,470
    and then we're all good.

1194
00:47:21,506 --> 00:47:24,207
           - Refill?
         - Sure, yeah.

1195
00:47:24,242 --> 00:47:25,741
        (Footsteps thud)

1196
00:47:28,012 --> 00:47:29,812
   - I like what you've done
with the place.

1197
00:47:29,848 --> 00:47:32,148
         - Ha, thanks.
   All came with the rental.

1198
00:47:32,183 --> 00:47:34,517
       - You didn't wanna
     personalize it a bit?

1199
00:47:34,552 --> 00:47:36,619
  Put your own spin on things?

1200
00:47:36,654 --> 00:47:38,387
       - I know. I know.

1201
00:47:38,423 --> 00:47:41,224
    - Let me guess, the more
     you commit to a place,

1202
00:47:41,259 --> 00:47:43,125
        the harder it is
    when you have to leave?

1203
00:47:43,161 --> 00:47:45,194
         (Coffee pours)
            - Yeah,

1204
00:47:45,230 --> 00:47:47,763
     life in the Air Force,
      always on the move.

1205
00:47:49,234 --> 00:47:51,200
   Anyway, if my parents have
   anything to say about it,

1206
00:47:51,236 --> 00:47:53,002
I'll stay right here for good.

1207
00:47:53,037 --> 00:47:54,804
  <i> My dad keeps dropping hints</i>

1208
00:47:54,839 --> 00:47:56,873
      <i> about me taking over</i>
      <i> the hardware store.</i>

1209
00:47:56,908 --> 00:47:58,541
   - What's wrong with that?

1210
00:47:58,576 --> 00:48:00,409
    - Nothing, it's just...

1211
00:48:00,445 --> 00:48:02,478
   it's his thing, you know.

1212
00:48:02,513 --> 00:48:04,847
  I mean, he built that place
      from the ground up.

1213
00:48:04,883 --> 00:48:06,749
    <i> He always wanted to own</i>
       <i> his own business.</i>

1214
00:48:06,784 --> 00:48:08,784
    - And what do you want?

1215
00:48:11,122 --> 00:48:12,722
       (Computer chimes)

1216
00:48:12,757 --> 00:48:14,991
   - Oh, export is complete.
             - Hm.

1217
00:48:16,628 --> 00:48:18,995
     - Time to send it off.

1218
00:48:19,030 --> 00:48:20,997
And there we go.

1219
00:48:21,032 --> 00:48:23,332
    - They're gonna love it.
   - I know I sure would've.

1220
00:48:23,368 --> 00:48:25,534
   - You know what this means
 we get to do next, don't you?

1221
00:48:25,570 --> 00:48:28,604
          - What? Oh!

1222
00:48:28,640 --> 00:48:30,806
            Ha, ha!

1223
00:48:31,809 --> 00:48:33,776
        (Excited exhale)
             May I?

1224
00:48:33,811 --> 00:48:35,678
       - It's all yours.
            - Okay.

1225
00:48:38,549 --> 00:48:40,116
       - Is that a Codex?

1226
00:48:40,151 --> 00:48:42,385
  - Why am I not surprised you
   know exactly what that is?

1227
00:48:42,420 --> 00:48:43,920
       - Who doesn't know
         what this is?

1228
00:48:43,955 --> 00:48:46,389
        - Um... I don't.
          - Oh, right.

1229
00:48:47,392 --> 00:48:49,058
- So, how does it work?

1230
00:48:49,093 --> 00:48:52,061
   Uh, well it's sort of like
  a bicycle combination lock.

1231
00:48:52,096 --> 00:48:54,397
   You arrange the six letter
             wheels

1232
00:48:54,432 --> 00:48:56,465
    to spell out the correct
            password

1233
00:48:56,501 --> 00:48:59,435
 and the cylinder slides open,
    revealing what's inside.

1234
00:48:59,470 --> 00:49:01,037
            - What?
            - Right?

1235
00:49:01,072 --> 00:49:02,772
            - Cool!
            - Yeah!

1236
00:49:02,807 --> 00:49:05,775
   - Okay, so how do we guess
      the password, then?

1237
00:49:05,810 --> 00:49:08,244
  - Oh, maybe it has something
to do with this Christmas tree.

1238
00:49:08,279 --> 00:49:12,248
          - Oh, okay.
Tree, Christmas tree. Um...

1239
00:49:14,118 --> 00:49:16,786
  Boughs, like Deck the Halls
            with...

1240
00:49:16,821 --> 00:49:19,221
    - Boughs of holly. Okay.

1241
00:49:19,257 --> 00:49:21,090
         (Codex clicks)

1242
00:49:23,294 --> 00:49:24,794
        (Codex rattles)

1243
00:49:24,829 --> 00:49:26,629
      - The bough breaks.

1244
00:49:26,664 --> 00:49:28,931
        - You know what?
      Speaking of breaks,

1245
00:49:28,967 --> 00:49:31,567
   maybe the answer will come
     to us if we take one.

1246
00:49:31,602 --> 00:49:33,235
 - Oh, what'd you have in mind?

1247
00:49:33,271 --> 00:49:34,937
        - Well, it's um,

1248
00:49:34,973 --> 00:49:37,273
  it's actually the town tree
       lighting tonight,

1249
00:49:37,308 --> 00:49:39,408
 and um, I was wondering if...

1250
00:49:40,678 --> 00:49:42,278
    maybe you wanted to go?

1251
00:49:42,313 --> 00:49:45,147
- So, we can spend more time
   trying to crack the code?

1252
00:49:45,183 --> 00:49:46,849
           - Exactly.
            - Yeah.

1253
00:49:46,884 --> 00:49:48,818
            - Yeah.
- Meet you there later tonight?

1254
00:49:48,853 --> 00:49:51,120
         - Sounds good.
          - (Chuckles)

1255
00:49:52,857 --> 00:49:54,824
        (Box thuds shut)

1256
00:49:54,859 --> 00:49:56,592
         (Bells jingle)

1257
00:49:56,627 --> 00:49:58,928

          with care ¶

1260
00:50:04,969 --> 00:50:06,535
             - Hi.

1261
00:50:06,571 --> 00:50:08,270
             - Hey.

1262
00:50:08,306 --> 00:50:11,374
   - Um, I thought you might
   like some hot apple cider.

1263
00:50:11,409 --> 00:50:13,109
     It's top shelf stuff.

1264
00:50:13,144 --> 00:50:15,344
Perfect balance of cinnamon
          and nutmeg.

1265
00:50:15,380 --> 00:50:17,480
   - It's all about the spice
             ratio.

1266
00:50:17,515 --> 00:50:19,615
          - (Chuckles)

1267
00:50:19,650 --> 00:50:22,385
          - So, codex?

1268
00:50:22,420 --> 00:50:25,054
       - Right. Yes. Um--

1269
00:50:25,089 --> 00:50:26,989
        - Oh, hey guys!
             - Hey!

1270
00:50:27,025 --> 00:50:28,524
           - Oh, hi!
            - So uh,

1271
00:50:28,559 --> 00:50:30,126
  I'm gonna need your opinion
         on something.

1272
00:50:30,161 --> 00:50:31,727
             - Mhm.
      - Carolyn and I were

1273
00:50:31,763 --> 00:50:33,863
   just discussing the theme
        for the nursery.

1274
00:50:33,898 --> 00:50:35,731
       - Yeah, discussing
   is one way of putting it.

1275
00:50:35,767 --> 00:50:37,733
<i> Jackson: Okay. Don't you think</i>
        <i> an animal theme</i>

1276
00:50:37,769 --> 00:50:40,736
       would be perfect?
    Carolyn: Clouds, honey.

1277
00:50:40,772 --> 00:50:43,973
      Sweet little clouds
   with smiley faces on them?

1278
00:50:44,008 --> 00:50:46,475
   - Yeah, but if you really
        think about it--

1279
00:50:46,511 --> 00:50:48,477
- Okay, well, what are you both
     doing tomorrow night?

1280
00:50:48,513 --> 00:50:50,079
      - Oh, that's right!
           I forgot.

1281
00:50:50,114 --> 00:50:53,082
 So, these guys throw the best
ugly Christmas sweater parties.

1282
00:50:53,117 --> 00:50:54,850
   - Yeah, 12 years running.

1283
00:50:54,886 --> 00:50:56,318
      Started winter break
          in college.

1284
00:50:56,354 --> 00:50:58,320
Kevin: That's right.
 - Well, that sounds like fun.

1285
00:50:58,356 --> 00:51:00,356
      Actually, some of my
    classmates at med school

1286
00:51:00,391 --> 00:51:02,591
 used to throw an ugly sweater
        Christmas party,

1287
00:51:02,627 --> 00:51:05,594
  and I could never go because
I was always too busy studying.

1288
00:51:05,630 --> 00:51:08,564
   - Well, now is your chance
         to join ours.

1289
00:51:08,599 --> 00:51:11,434
 We're a real tight-knit group.
           - Oh boy.

1290
00:51:11,469 --> 00:51:13,836
         - Gimme some.
        - Ooh. Terrible.

1291
00:51:13,871 --> 00:51:16,072
      - And on that note,
     I would love to come.

1292
00:51:16,107 --> 00:51:18,140
 - Great, let me get your info.
- Oh yeah.

1293
00:51:19,577 --> 00:51:22,845
      - Wow, you and Kate
      seem pretty chummy.

1294
00:51:23,748 --> 00:51:26,182
   - I don't know if I'd say
        chummy, but uh--

1295
00:51:26,217 --> 00:51:28,617
  - I thought all of this was
  the last thing on your mind.

1296
00:51:28,653 --> 00:51:30,252
            - What?

1297
00:51:31,789 --> 00:51:34,356
       - Oh uh, sweetie--
             - Mhm?

1298
00:51:34,392 --> 00:51:37,226
      - They have homemade
  gingerbread cookies here...

1299
00:51:37,261 --> 00:51:39,962
 we should check out... maybe.
          - Oh, okay.

1300
00:51:39,997 --> 00:51:41,630
       Then we'll see you
      both tomorrow night.

1301
00:51:41,666 --> 00:51:44,033
     - Okay. Enjoy the rest
        of your evening.

1302
00:51:44,068 --> 00:51:46,001
(Footsteps crunch in the snow)

1303
00:51:47,738 --> 00:51:49,305
    Kate: They seem so nice.

1304
00:51:49,340 --> 00:51:51,373
Kevin: They truly are the best.

1305
00:51:52,610 --> 00:51:54,477
   - So, back to the puzzle?

1306
00:51:54,512 --> 00:51:56,545
    <i> Mayor: Alright everyone,</i>

 - Merry Christmas, Cedar Park!

All: (Cheering, clapping) Wooo!

1311
00:52:04,589 --> 00:52:07,923
 - Thank you all for coming out
  to the annual tree lighting.

1312
00:52:07,959 --> 00:52:12,761
 It's wonderful to see so many
    familiar smiling faces.

1313
00:52:12,797 --> 00:52:15,798
  Especially those we haven't
seen for some time.

1314

        Kevin Matthews,

         <i> Man: Alright!</i>

1319

    - (Laughs) Let's hear it
           for Kevin.

1328
00:52:43,461 --> 00:52:44,994
             yeah?
             - Yes.

1329

          two... one!

     Kate: You'll be happy
   to know that I

1335
00:53:07,285 --> 00:53:08,851
        a Christmas tree
        this afternoon.

1336
00:53:08,886 --> 00:53:10,152
        Kevin: Oh yeah?
             - Mhm.

1337
00:53:10,188 --> 00:53:12,021
      - Did you go all out
and get the biggest one?

1338
00:53:12,056 --> 00:53:14,757
 - (Chuckles) You sound like my
            parents.

1339
00:53:14,792 --> 00:53:16,625
   Growing up, they'd tell me
          to pick out

1340
00:53:16,661 --> 00:53:19,328
   the biggest Christmas tree
       that I could find.

1341
00:53:19,363 --> 00:53:22,998
        - Well, did you?
         - I think so.

1342
00:53:23,034 --> 00:53:25,601
But you know, when you're five,
   everything looks gigantic.

1343
00:53:25,636 --> 00:53:27,002
             - Yep.

1344
00:53:27,038 --> 00:53:30,139
  - And yes, I definitely need
          a step stool

1345
00:53:30,174 --> 00:53:31,840
     for the one I picked.

1346
00:53:31,876 --> 00:53:34,009
   A rather tall Balsam Fir.

1347
00:53:34,045 --> 00:53:35,878
     - Ah, Balsam. Classic.

1348
00:53:35,913 --> 00:53:37,012
- (Chuckles) Yeah.

1349
00:53:37,048 --> 00:53:39,515
  - Oh, do you have the codex
            on you?

1350
00:53:39,550 --> 00:53:42,017
 - Yeah, what are you thinking?
           - Balsam.

1351
00:53:42,053 --> 00:53:44,153
         - Oh... yeah!
            - Yeah.

1352
00:53:45,156 --> 00:53:46,789
            - Okay.

1353
00:53:46,824 --> 00:53:50,092
          B-a-l-s-a-m.

1354
00:53:53,064 --> 00:53:55,030
              Huh!
           - (Sighs)

1355
00:53:55,066 --> 00:53:56,732
         - Balsam bust.

1356
00:53:56,767 --> 00:53:58,867
   - Hmm. We'll figure it out
          eventually.

1357
00:53:58,903 --> 00:54:00,469
            - Yeah.

1358
00:54:03,374 --> 00:54:05,641
- Speaking of Christmas trees...

1359
00:54:06,611 --> 00:54:08,911
   do you think your parents
     would wanna come over

1360
00:54:08,946 --> 00:54:10,312
   and help me decorate mine?

1361
00:54:10,348 --> 00:54:11,914
- What, I'm not invited?

1362
00:54:11,949 --> 00:54:14,383
      - Uh, no. Yeah, no.
     Uh uh, definitely not.

1363
00:54:14,418 --> 00:54:16,051
   - I think you might wanna
          reconsider.

1364
00:54:16,087 --> 00:54:18,354
     My height is a supreme
           advantage.

1365
00:54:18,389 --> 00:54:20,489
        - Alright, fine.
       You got me there.

1366
00:54:20,524 --> 00:54:23,158
 - Yes, they would be thrilled
   to come over and help you.

1367
00:54:23,194 --> 00:54:25,160
  And I suppose it wouldn't be
         the worst way

1368
00:54:25,196 --> 00:54:27,229
  for me to spend my evening.
          - (Chuckles)

1369
00:54:29,300 --> 00:54:33,569
   - So... are you warming up
   to this town yet, or what?

1370
00:54:35,373 --> 00:54:37,339
- It's not what I expected.

1371
00:54:37,375 --> 00:54:39,508
           - Oh, no?
      What did you expect?

1372
00:54:39,543 --> 00:54:42,444
    - Well, not to be here,
           actually.

1373
00:54:42,480 --> 00:54:44,246
   My first choice of medical
          fellowships

1374
00:54:44,282 --> 00:54:46,782
was Northwest Falls in Chicago.

1375
00:54:46,817 --> 00:54:48,751
       - And why Chicago?

1376
00:54:50,321 --> 00:54:52,087
    - It was the last place
    I lived with my parents

1377
00:54:52,123 --> 00:54:54,523
      before they passed.

1378
00:54:54,558 --> 00:54:56,759
       I always thought,
   if I could get back there,

1379
00:54:56,794 --> 00:54:58,260
       I could somehow--

1380
00:54:58,296 --> 00:55:00,562
   - Get that feeling of home
           back, too?

1381
00:55:00,598 --> 00:55:02,264
            - Yeah.

1382
00:55:03,901 --> 00:55:05,901
- You'll get there eventually.

1383
00:55:05,936 --> 00:55:07,569
          - Just a...

1384
00:55:08,606 --> 00:55:10,873
 little later than I had hoped.

1385
00:55:10,908 --> 00:55:12,708
            - Right.

1386
00:55:16,647 --> 00:55:17,946
             - I...

1387
00:55:17,982 --> 00:55:19,615
     I still can't believe
     that you and your Dad

1388
00:55:19,650 --> 00:55:22,117
     build Santa's Village
          every year.

1389
00:55:22,153 --> 00:55:24,119
            - Yeah.

1390
00:55:24,155 --> 00:55:26,555
    You know, I gotta admit,

1391
00:55:26,590 --> 00:55:28,457
  when I was a kid, I thought
        helping build it

1392
00:55:28,492 --> 00:55:30,759
     would get me some kind
       of in with Santa,

1393
00:55:30,795 --> 00:55:32,995
   and he would put my wishes
    at the top of the list.

1394
00:55:33,030 --> 00:55:35,364
      - Right. Of course.

1395
00:55:36,233 --> 00:55:38,400
What was on your wish
         list as a kid?

1396
00:55:38,436 --> 00:55:40,769
    - Oh, typical boy stuff.

1397
00:55:40,805 --> 00:55:43,906
      You know, toy cars,
          comic books.

1398
00:55:43,941 --> 00:55:45,574
            - Right.
 - That kinda stuff, you know.

1399
00:55:47,311 --> 00:55:49,244
        - How about you?

1400
00:55:49,280 --> 00:55:51,146
           - A horse.
           - A horse?

1401
00:55:51,182 --> 00:55:52,648
             - Mhm.
             - Wow.

1402
00:55:52,683 --> 00:55:55,117
  - I'd ask my parents for one
          every year,

1403
00:55:55,152 --> 00:55:57,019
     and of course, it was
    completely impractical,

1404
00:55:57,054 --> 00:55:59,788
       so they got me a,
   a rocking horse, instead.

1405
00:55:59,824 --> 00:56:01,690
         - Ah, clever.
- (Chuckles)

1406
00:56:01,726 --> 00:56:04,626
      But I still do want
         a real horse.

1407
00:56:04,662 --> 00:56:06,495
            Someday.

1408
00:56:06,530 --> 00:56:08,297
      It's on the grown-up
           wish list.

1409
00:56:08,332 --> 00:56:10,466
 - Yes, the grown-up wish list.
             - Mhm.

1410
00:56:10,501 --> 00:56:12,968
   - My own plane is on mine.
          - Oh, okay.

1411
00:56:14,004 --> 00:56:15,637
    - What else is on yours?

1412
00:56:15,673 --> 00:56:18,006
    Opening my own practice,
          eventually.

1413
00:56:18,042 --> 00:56:20,609
  Maybe some travelling, too.
             - Mhm.

1414
00:56:20,644 --> 00:56:22,678
  - Oh actually, hearing about
    your time in the service

1415
00:56:22,713 --> 00:56:24,680
        got me thinking,
maybe some time

1416
00:56:24,715 --> 00:56:27,483
  with Doctors without Borders
     could be interesting.

1417
00:56:27,518 --> 00:56:29,852
        - Oh yeah. Yeah,
    you'd be great at that.

1418
00:56:29,887 --> 00:56:34,857
¶¶¶

1419
00:56:34,892 --> 00:56:37,292
    - I'm glad you asked me
         here tonight.

1420
00:56:37,328 --> 00:56:39,194
      - I'm glad you came.

1421
00:56:39,230 --> 00:56:43,065

1422
00:56:43,100 --> 00:56:44,933
        (Flames crackle)

1423
00:56:49,039 --> 00:56:51,507
     - So, as you can tell,
        Mr. McAllister,

1424
00:56:51,542 --> 00:56:54,076
we couldn't find anything wrong
  with your hip or your knee,

1425
00:56:54,111 --> 00:56:55,911
 but you say that there's pain
       in your shoulders

1426
00:56:55,946 --> 00:56:57,980
   and your latissimus dorsi,

1427
00:56:58,015 --> 00:56:59,748
   which is a scientific name
for a muscle in your back,

1428
00:56:59,784 --> 00:57:01,850
       that I'm guessing
       you found online?

1429
00:57:01,886 --> 00:57:03,819
     - Well, so you must be
          as perplexed

1430
00:57:03,854 --> 00:57:05,587
    about the cause of this,
            as I am.

1431
00:57:05,623 --> 00:57:07,556
     - Let's take a look at
    your mobility, shall we?

1432
00:57:07,591 --> 00:57:11,059
            - Okay.
   - Here we go. There it is.

1433
00:57:11,095 --> 00:57:12,694
   I haven't seen you at any

1434
00:57:12,730 --> 00:57:14,696
      holiday festivities
          around town.

1435
00:57:14,732 --> 00:57:16,598
  - Uh, that's more my wife's
             thing.

1436
00:57:16,634 --> 00:57:18,867
   She passed away this year.

1437
00:57:18,903 --> 00:57:21,670
     - Oh. I'm... so sorry.

1438
00:57:22,740 --> 00:57:25,674
- There's no point celebrating
   the holidays without her.

1439
00:57:25,709 --> 00:57:31,713

    <i> the rest of your night?</i>

1442
00:57:37,688 --> 00:57:39,855
  - Um, well, we didn't solve
        the codex, yet.

1443
00:57:40,658 --> 00:57:42,324
     - I mean, how'd it go
           with Kate?

1444
00:57:43,461 --> 00:57:46,361
- Oh. It was uh... a nice time.

1445
00:57:47,731 --> 00:57:49,631
          - That's it?

1446
00:57:49,667 --> 00:57:51,667
  She caught you by surprise,
          didn't she?

1447
00:57:53,137 --> 00:57:55,571
         - I'll admit,
   we are getting along more

1448
00:57:55,606 --> 00:57:57,473
    than our initial meeting
      would've predicted.

1449
00:57:57,508 --> 00:58:00,609
- Wow, that's a very practical
          assessment.

1450
00:58:02,146 --> 00:58:04,613
 - My practical assessment is,
    she's leaving in a year.

1451
00:58:04,648 --> 00:58:06,582
 - A lot can happen in a year.

1452
00:58:06,617 --> 00:58:08,250
    You know, I wouldn't be
       starting a family

1453
00:58:08,285 --> 00:58:09,251
    with the love of my life

1454
00:58:09,286 --> 00:58:12,120
 if I let practical assessments
        stand in my way.

1455
00:58:13,157 --> 00:58:15,824

00:58:27,071 --> 00:58:29,137
     Okay, I'm gonna go get
       some cider, okay?

1461
00:58:29,173 --> 00:58:30,506
         Be right back.

Oh, hi!

00:58:33,477 --> 00:58:35,143

             - Hey.

1464
00:58:35,179 --> 00:58:38,113
- Hi. That is one ugly sweater.

1465
00:58:38,148 --> 00:58:41,617
           - Thanks.
    Yours is easily top ten.

1466
00:58:41,652 --> 00:58:42,985
            - Yeah.
            - Yeah.

1467
00:58:43,020 --> 00:58:44,920
            - So uh,

1468
00:58:44,955 --> 00:58:46,788
       how was your day?

1469
00:58:46,824 --> 00:58:49,858
      - Good! Good, yeah.
            And you?

1470
00:58:49,894 --> 00:58:52,394
  - Was good, too. Yeah. Um...

1471
00:58:54,365 --> 00:58:56,098
   - I had a really nice time
          last night,

1472
00:58:56,133 --> 00:58:57,499
     at the tree lighting.

1473
00:58:57,535 --> 00:59:00,435
       - Did you? I mean,
         I... did, too.

1474
00:59:00,471 --> 00:59:03,005
   Which is uh... good. Um...

1475
00:59:04,241 --> 00:59:05,974
(Nervous chuckle)

1476
00:59:06,010 --> 00:59:08,710
 - Oh, um, I thought of another
 possible answer for the codex.

1477
00:59:08,746 --> 00:59:10,178
       - You did? Really?
            - Yeah.

1478
00:59:10,214 --> 00:59:11,246
    - Did you solve it yet?

1479
00:59:11,282 --> 00:59:13,482
 - Oh, what do you take me for,
       a rogue operative?

1480
00:59:13,517 --> 00:59:15,350
        - I don't know,
     can't be too careful.

1481
00:59:15,386 --> 00:59:17,119
          - (Chuckles)

1482
00:59:17,154 --> 00:59:18,787
  You remember our first clue
          that we got?

1483
00:59:18,822 --> 00:59:21,123
       They talked about
     our Journey of Giving.

1484
00:59:21,158 --> 00:59:23,559
  - Giving. Six letters. Yes!

1485
00:59:23,594 --> 00:59:25,861
            - Right?
- Why didn't I think of that?

1486
00:59:25,896 --> 00:59:27,362
     - Would you like to do
          the honors?

1487
00:59:27,398 --> 00:59:30,165
      - Absolutely! May I?
       - (Chuckles) Yeah!

00:59:30,200 --> 00:59:32,234
          - Thank you.

00:59:39,577 --> 00:59:41,376
     Yeah. Okay, you ready?
            - Yeah.

1492
00:59:41,412 --> 00:59:43,645
          - You sure?
       (Codex pops open)

1493
00:59:43,681 --> 00:59:45,380
         - (Gasps) Yes!
             - Yes!

1494
00:59:45,416 --> 00:59:48,383
    - (Chuckles) You did it!
          - I did it!

1495
00:59:48,419 --> 00:59:50,519
          - We did it.
          - We did it.

1496

        - Are you ready?
- Yes, what's it say?

my phone's ringing.

            - Yeah.

¶¶¶

1560
01:02:37,421 --> 01:02:39,354
             - Hi.
             - Hey!

1561
01:02:39,389 --> 01:02:40,956

       for the toy drive?

01:02:42,493 --> 01:02:45,293
- This is a little toy toolkit.
             - Ah!

1564
01:02:45,329 --> 01:02:47,896
   - It's how I got started.
         How about you?

1565
01:02:47,931 --> 01:02:51,466
     - Wait, let me guess,
  it's a puzzle of some kind?

1566
01:02:51,502 --> 01:02:53,301
     - Oh, am I really that
          predictable?

1585
01:03:41,318 --> 01:03:43,285
      - (Gasps) That's it!
 - Did you think of something?

1586
01:03:43,320 --> 01:03:45,287
  - It's not for me, it's for
  somebody else. I gotta run.

1587
01:03:45,322 --> 01:03:47,422
         - What... who?
  - Yeah, I'll see you tonight

1588

the tree.

1593
01:04:00,871 --> 01:04:02,804
    - There's nothing wrong
           with you.

1594
01:04:02,840 --> 01:04:04,139
            - What?

1595
01:04:04,174 --> 01:04:05,874
       - What you've been
         experiencing,

1596
01:04:05,909 --> 01:04:07,876
      they're called minor
     psychogenic symptoms.

1597
01:04:07,911 --> 01:04:09,778
    - Well, that sounds bad.
    - No, no, no, it's good!

1598
01:04:09,813 --> 01:04:11,913
 It means that there's nothing
 with you, medically speaking.

1599
01:04:11,949 --> 01:04:13,615
  - Well, I don't understand.

1600
01:04:13,650 --> 01:04:16,084
     Where do all the aches
and pains come from?

1601
01:04:16,119 --> 01:04:18,119
- Well, your discomfort started
           acting up

1602
01:04:18,155 --> 01:04:19,487
       the closer you got
      to Christmas, right?

1603
01:04:19,523 --> 01:04:21,056
             - So?

1604
01:04:21,091 --> 01:04:23,825
 - I remember you told me that
   your wife loved Christmas.

1605
01:04:23,861 --> 01:04:26,294
     I'm guessing your most
      meaningful memories

1606
01:04:26,330 --> 01:04:28,129
 of the holidays are with her.

1607
01:04:28,165 --> 01:04:30,365
    - What's that got to do
         with anything?

1608
01:04:31,468 --> 01:04:33,168
        - You miss her.

1609
01:04:33,203 --> 01:04:35,604
And that's why it's hitting you
        the hardest now.

1610
01:04:35,639 --> 01:04:37,839
  See, sometimes our emotional
responses

1611
01:04:37,875 --> 01:04:40,342
  can translate into physical
          ones, and...

1612
01:04:40,377 --> 01:04:43,078
 and that's why you're hurting.

1613
01:04:43,113 --> 01:04:46,681
  But if you embrace Christmas
     as a time to remember

1614
01:04:46,717 --> 01:04:48,783
    all the wonderful things
        about your wife,

1615
01:04:48,819 --> 01:04:51,753
  the holiday can be a source
    of joy for you, instead.

1616
01:04:53,457 --> 01:04:54,956
       - I... I'm sorry.

1617
01:04:54,992 --> 01:04:56,625
     I know you mean well,

1618
01:04:56,660 --> 01:04:58,827
  but you didn't know my wife,

1619
01:04:58,862 --> 01:05:00,495
        or what we had.

1620
01:05:00,530 --> 01:05:03,164
   And nothing can take away
    the pain of missing her.

1621
01:05:04,735 --> 01:05:07,469
    So, if you'll excuse me,
I have to get back to work.

1622
01:05:07,504 --> 01:05:09,404
    Good day, Dr. Stafford.

1623

     - Take over the store,
  what are you talking about?

1767
01:11:36,393 --> 01:11:38,359
 - What are you talking about?

1768
01:11:38,395 --> 01:11:40,128
      All... all the hints
      you've been dropping

1769
01:11:40,163 --> 01:11:41,362
       about how you love
       having me around?

1770
01:11:41,398 --> 01:11:43,865
- Well, of course I love having
  your around, you're my son!

1771
01:11:45,735 --> 01:11:47,635
   - This... this whole time,

1772
01:11:47,671 --> 01:11:50,638
I thought you wanted me to take
over Matthews' Family Hardware.

1773
01:11:52,609 --> 01:11:54,842
           - Kevin...

1774
01:11:54,878 --> 01:11:57,111
    this store is my dream.

1775
01:11:58,281 --> 01:11:59,747
 I never meant for you to feel

1776
01:11:59,783 --> 01:12:01,749
     like you had to follow
        in my footsteps.

1777
01:12:01,785 --> 01:12:04,385
 I want you to pursue your own
 dreams, your own aspirations,

1778
01:12:04,421 --> 01:12:07,021
   and if it takes you outta
          Cedar Park,

1779
01:12:07,057 --> 01:12:09,157
   then you should go for it.

1780
01:12:10,694 --> 01:12:12,994
  It's not about what I want,
or what your mother wants,

1781
01:12:14,431 --> 01:12:16,531
        it's about you.
        It's your life.

1782
01:12:16,566 --> 01:12:18,199
           Go for it.

1783
01:12:20,637 --> 01:12:22,503
  - Dad, what if I don't know
        what I want yet?

1784
01:12:22,539 --> 01:12:25,206
    I mean, what if I leave,

1785
01:12:26,009 --> 01:12:28,376
    and then I find out that
      what I actually want

1786
01:12:28,411 --> 01:12:30,878
     was here in Cedar Park
           all along?

1787
01:12:30,914 --> 01:12:32,580
           - Well...

1788
01:12:32,615 --> 01:12:35,216
  I guess you got some choices
      to make. (Chuckles)

1789
01:12:35,251 --> 01:12:38,219
   Either way, you'll always
       have a home here.

1790
01:12:39,656 --> 01:12:41,356
           - (Sighs)

        (Footsteps thud)

1792
01:12:44,794 --> 01:12:47,228
- So, Northwest Falls
    just offered you a spot.

1793
01:12:47,263 --> 01:12:49,297
        Your dream job,
      in your dream city.

1794
01:12:49,332 --> 01:12:50,498
  - I still can't believe it.

1795
01:12:51,301 --> 01:12:53,735
    - Are you gonna take it?
        - I don't know.

1796
01:12:53,770 --> 01:12:56,037
   - But it's what you always
            wanted.

1797
01:12:57,741 --> 01:12:59,874
           - (Sighs)

1798
01:12:59,909 --> 01:13:01,275
        (Patron chatter)

1799
01:13:01,311 --> 01:13:03,578
     - Have you told Kevin
      about the offer yet?

1800
01:13:03,613 --> 01:13:05,980
             - No.
      - Well, you have to.

1801
01:13:06,015 --> 01:13:08,783
 - Kate, Liz, what a surprise!

1802
01:13:08,818 --> 01:13:09,951
       - Oh, Carolyn, hi!

1803
01:13:09,986 --> 01:13:13,755
  - I was just thinking about
you and Kevin's big news.

1804
01:13:13,790 --> 01:13:15,456
          - Big news?

1805
01:13:15,492 --> 01:13:18,092
 - Oh, Jackson told me that the
  Disaster Relief Organization

1806
01:13:18,128 --> 01:13:20,228
      offered him the job
         in California.

1807
01:13:21,531 --> 01:13:24,532
            - What?!
     - He didn't tell you.

1808
01:13:25,635 --> 01:13:27,735
   - Yes... right. That's...

1809
01:13:27,771 --> 01:13:30,505
   that's really great news.
  It's very exciting for him.

1810
01:13:30,540 --> 01:13:32,306
  - Whew! For a second there,

1811
01:13:32,342 --> 01:13:34,142
   I thought I said something
          out of turn.

1812
01:13:34,177 --> 01:13:36,511
      Well, I've gotta get
       to an appointment,

1813
01:13:36,546 --> 01:13:38,679
   but we'll all have to get
together before he leaves.

1814
01:13:38,715 --> 01:13:40,248
   I can't believe they want
          him to start

1815
01:13:40,283 --> 01:13:42,216
   right after the holidays.

1816
01:13:44,954 --> 01:13:47,555
        - (Heavy exhale)

1817
01:13:49,626 --> 01:13:52,593
       - Did you know...
       about California?

1818
01:13:52,629 --> 01:13:55,096
- No, Kevin didn't say anything.

1819
01:13:55,131 --> 01:13:57,799
  - Okay, this is exactly why
  the two of you need to talk.

1820
01:13:57,834 --> 01:14:00,001
     - But if he got a job
          opportunity,

1821
01:14:00,036 --> 01:14:01,602
  I don't wanna hold him back.

1822
01:14:01,638 --> 01:14:03,504
- You don't know if he accepted
        the job or not.

1823
01:14:03,540 --> 01:14:05,339
      - Carolyn just said
       that he's leaving,

1824
01:14:05,375 --> 01:14:07,508
and he's been wanting to find
      something like this.

1825
01:14:07,544 --> 01:14:10,244
     - Maybe what he wants
          is changing.

1826
01:14:13,316 --> 01:14:15,183
           - (Sighs)

      why are you packing?

  - My first-choice fellowship
            called.

1869
01:16:19,442 --> 01:16:22,643
       A spot opened up.
         - In Chicago?

1870
01:16:22,679 --> 01:16:24,712

     you're gonna take it?

1874
01:16:33,690 --> 01:16:35,856
       something to you.
   - Look, Kevin, I thought--

01:16:35,892 --> 01:16:38,859
- No. Were you gonna tell me,
 or were you just gonna leave?

1876

   - (Scoff) This is exactly
        why I don't like

           anywhere.

1899
01:17:43,526 --> 01:17:45,860

was leaving for California,

1900
01:17:45,895 --> 01:17:47,528
          for the job.

1901
01:17:47,563 --> 01:17:50,097
      - Nope, apparently,
       he turned it down.

 The news was such a wonderful

01:17:55,905 --> 01:17:58,973
¶¶¶

1905
01:18:02,712 --> 01:18:04,478
          - Hey Dad...
             - Huh?

1906
01:18:04,514 --> 01:18:05,846
        - I had an idea.

1907
01:18:06,749 --> 01:18:08,816
      You know, when I was
       researching jobs,

1908
01:18:08,851 --> 01:18:10,685
   I saw a lot of fundraising
         organizations

1909
01:18:10,720 --> 01:18:12,653
    looking for construction
           partners.

1910
01:18:12,689 --> 01:18:14,121
           - Uh huh.
        - And I thought,

1911
01:18:14,157 --> 01:18:15,956
instead of building houses
      for Santa's Village,

1912
01:18:15,992 --> 01:18:19,660
what if we built them for real?
      - What do you mean?

1913
01:18:21,064 --> 01:18:23,130
 - Sponsoring a new initiative

1914
01:18:23,166 --> 01:18:25,232
  and building homes for local
       families in need.

1915
01:18:25,268 --> 01:18:27,334
- That's a beautiful idea, son,

1916
01:18:27,370 --> 01:18:29,370
 but I don't have the manpower.
           - Well...

1917
01:18:32,008 --> 01:18:34,241
         you've got me.

1918
01:18:34,277 --> 01:18:36,644
      - (Sighs) You'd work
         at the store?

1919
01:18:37,480 --> 01:18:39,547
          - You know,
     being in the Air Force

1920
01:18:39,582 --> 01:18:42,249
   wasn't just about finding
   structure and discipline,

1921
01:18:42,285 --> 01:18:44,552
it was about helping people.
             - Mhm.

1922
01:18:44,587 --> 01:18:46,420
     - And after everything
           with Kate,

1923
01:18:46,456 --> 01:18:48,689
   you know, we just brought
 so much joy to people's lives.

1924
01:18:48,725 --> 01:18:50,925
     That's what I wanna do
           with mine.

1925
01:18:50,960 --> 01:18:52,727
     - I'm so proud of you.

1926
01:18:52,762 --> 01:18:54,929
       Have you told Kate
        about this yet?

1927
01:18:54,964 --> 01:18:57,531
     - Ah, that's a little
   complicated at the moment.

1928
01:18:57,567 --> 01:18:59,266
- I'm sure you'll figure it out,

1929
01:18:59,302 --> 01:19:01,335
 especially after you recreate
         the Christmas

1930
01:19:01,370 --> 01:19:02,903
    morning memory for her.
(Chuckles)

1931
01:19:04,774 --> 01:19:06,540
   - Wait... I never told you
          about that.

1932
01:19:07,910 --> 01:19:09,910
  - Sure, you did. (Chuckles)

1933
01:19:09,946 --> 01:19:11,212
       - Oh, no, no, no.

1934
01:19:11,247 --> 01:19:14,448
      I-I never told you,
      or Mom, about that.

1935
01:19:14,484 --> 01:19:16,283
       - Oh, it was Kate.

1936
01:19:16,319 --> 01:19:19,053
     Yeah, yeah, she uh...

1937
01:19:19,088 --> 01:19:21,288
   she called me and asked me
      about uh, you know,

1938
01:19:21,324 --> 01:19:23,190
    Christmas mornings past.
             Yeah.

1939
01:19:23,226 --> 01:19:25,259
       - Kate called you?
             - Mhm.

1940
01:19:28,397 --> 01:19:30,431
        - Oh gosh darn,

1941
01:19:31,501 --> 01:19:34,602
 your mother and I were so good
    at keeping it a secret.

1942
01:19:34,637 --> 01:19:37,138
- What? It was both of you
        this whole time?

1943
01:19:37,173 --> 01:19:39,774
- Oh, please don't let her know
    that I let it slip out.

1944
01:19:39,809 --> 01:19:41,442
           - Oh my--

1945
01:19:43,012 --> 01:19:46,380
   Wait, how did you put all
       of this together?

1946
01:19:46,415 --> 01:19:48,215
          - Well, uh,

1947
01:19:48,251 --> 01:19:50,451
       after your mother
       and I got engaged,

1948
01:19:50,486 --> 01:19:52,219
     we uh, wanted to move
         somewhere new.

1949
01:19:53,022 --> 01:19:55,089
          One morning,
     we found a set of keys

1950
01:19:55,124 --> 01:19:56,924
   and a riddle at our door,

1951
01:19:56,959 --> 01:19:58,959
  and well, you know the rest.

1952
01:19:59,762 --> 01:20:01,929
     Seems a friend of mine
      wanted to remind us

1953
01:20:01,964 --> 01:20:05,432
of this magical town,
        and giving back,

1954
01:20:06,702 --> 01:20:08,269
     and Christmas spirit.

1955
01:20:09,772 --> 01:20:12,640
 - Wow. How have I never heard
       this story before?

1956
01:20:12,675 --> 01:20:15,576
 - Well, your mother and I had
     hoped that we could...

1957
01:20:15,611 --> 01:20:17,311
        pay it forward.

1958
01:20:18,981 --> 01:20:20,815
          - (Exhales)

1959
01:20:22,819 --> 01:20:25,252
<i>Liz: So, now you're gonna stay?</i>

1960
01:20:25,288 --> 01:20:28,022
  <i> Kate: Yes, but it's probably</i>
           <i> too late.</i>

1961
01:20:28,057 --> 01:20:30,324
    I messed up everything.

1962
01:20:31,160 --> 01:20:34,161
  - I'm sure Dr. Reagan would
     love to have you back.

1963
01:20:34,197 --> 01:20:36,497
      And Northwest Falls
can find a replacement.

1964
01:20:36,532 --> 01:20:37,998
      - What about Kevin?

1965
01:20:38,801 --> 01:20:41,101
        - Talk about it
       when you see him.

1966
01:20:41,137 --> 01:20:43,637
   Don't you have a Christmas
   memory to give each other?

1967
01:20:43,673 --> 01:20:46,140
    He already gave me his.
        It was perfect.

1968
01:20:46,175 --> 01:20:49,476
         I have no idea
      what to do for him.

1969
01:20:49,512 --> 01:20:52,012
  - Well, figuring things out
      is what you do best.

1970
01:20:53,983 --> 01:20:56,784
           Cheer up!
     It's almost Christmas.

1971
01:20:56,819 --> 01:21:03,791

1973
01:21:11,667 --> 01:21:14,034
   (Door creaks open, shuts)
       - Mr. McAllister?

1974
01:21:15,137 --> 01:21:18,138
 I need your help for a little
Christmas Eve miracle.

1975
01:21:18,174 --> 01:21:20,007
      - Well, you've come
      to the right place.

1976
01:21:20,042 --> 01:21:21,675
          - (Chuckles)

1977
01:21:21,711 --> 01:21:24,445
      (Door opens, shuts)

1978
01:21:26,716 --> 01:21:28,015
         (Keys jingle)

1979
01:21:28,050 --> 01:21:31,018
         (Hooves clop)

1980
01:21:31,053 --> 01:21:33,954
        (Wheels squeak)

1981
01:21:39,562 --> 01:21:42,029
        - Kate? (Gasps)

1982
01:21:42,064 --> 01:21:44,865
         How did you--
       McAllister never--

1983
01:21:44,901 --> 01:21:46,834
 How did you make this happen?

1984
01:21:46,869 --> 01:21:49,036
     - I may have called in
     a favor from a friend.

1985
01:21:49,071 --> 01:21:52,339
¶¶¶

1986
01:21:52,375 --> 01:21:54,308
      - Ha! Ha! (Chuckles)

1987
01:21:55,878 --> 01:21:58,345
           Whoa. Wow!

1988
01:21:58,381 --> 01:22:01,015
  - Well, what are you waiting
        for? Hop aboard!

1989
01:22:01,050 --> 01:22:03,350
- Okay!
          (Both laugh)

1990
01:22:06,789 --> 01:22:08,222
     - This is incredible.

1991
01:22:09,625 --> 01:22:11,125
           Thank you.

1992
01:22:11,160 --> 01:22:13,060
     - Meaningful Christmas
        memory unlocked?

1993
01:22:13,095 --> 01:22:16,063
      - Definitely, yeah.

1994
01:22:16,098 --> 01:22:18,365
     By the way, my parents
    were behind all of this.

1995
01:22:18,401 --> 01:22:19,800
            - What?
            - Yeah.

1996
01:22:19,835 --> 01:22:21,368
             - How?

1997
01:22:21,404 --> 01:22:23,637
   I'll explain it all later,
             but...

1998
01:22:23,673 --> 01:22:26,240
     I wanted to apologize
         for yesterday.

1999
01:22:26,275 --> 01:22:28,509
   - No, I should be the one
          apologizing.

2000
01:22:30,179 --> 01:22:32,379
       I turned the other
fellowship down.

2001
01:22:33,983 --> 01:22:35,749
    - So, you're gonna stay
         in Cedar Park?

2002
01:22:35,785 --> 01:22:37,551
     - There's nowhere else
         I'd rather be.

2003
01:22:37,586 --> 01:22:39,887
    - I thought Chicago was
 the home you've always wanted?

2004
01:22:39,922 --> 01:22:41,922
   - I only decided to leave

2005
01:22:41,958 --> 01:22:44,725
   because I thought you took
     the job in California.

2006
01:22:44,760 --> 01:22:46,961
     My home is right here,
           with you.
