WOMAN: (ON RADIO) Just two
shopping days left till Christmas

and traffic is looking good
in the centre of town.

Victoria Embankment is moving
smoothly in both directions.

There does seem to be some sort
of hold up over Tower Bridge.

I can see queues
on all approaches to it.

There appears to be livestock.
No... It's reindeer.

Reindeer! I repeat, reindeer,
running wild over Tower Bridge.

One Rubik's cube.

Oh... Unsolved.

And one set of car keys.

Sign there.

- That your Tom, is it?
- Yeah, that was him two years ago.

- Takes after you.
- Well, let's hope not.

WOMAN: (ON TV) More now on our top story

of the reindeer running loose
on the streets of London.

There have been sightings
as far west as Ealing Broadway.

No-one knows where they came from,

so let's just hope
they're not Santa's reindeer,

or there'll be a lot of disappointed
children this Christmas.

Hey, quick! We have to stop the train!

There are people on board!

- We can't. The brakes have failed.
- Well, we have to.

TOM: There's an old lady
stuck in the back seat!

TONY: An old lady? Oh, no!

But don't worry, she just made it out.

TOM: No, the old lady got really
mangled up. She's in a mess.

An old lady? Really?

Ah! My legs! I can't feel my legs!

Ah, but fortunately
there's an ambulance nearby.

Nee-nah! Nee-nah!
And it saves the old lady's life.

No, she's dead. She had a big cut
on her leg and bled out.

(COUGHING AND SPLUTTERING)

(COUGHING AGAIN)

(CHOKING)

Well, I hope all this death
and destruction's making you hungry.

(PHONE RINGS)

- Hello?
- STEVE: Hello. It's me.

Hang on.

Come on, Tom, let's play something else.

- Are you out?
- STEVE: I'm out.

- I'm pleased for you.
- Yeah, I'm pleased for me too.

- How are you?
- I'm good.

Uh, so, listen, I was just wondering
if I could pop by later

and see Tom, if that's all right?

- No, today's not a good day.
- Ah, come on, Ali.

You can't just change the plans cos you
have something better to do tomorrow.

No, I haven't got anything better to do.

Well, we'll see you then. I've gotta go.

All right. Thank... Thank you.

Was that Dad?

- Yeah, that was Steve.
- Why didn't you let him come over?

Because you'll have more time
with him tomorrow.

- What if he doesn't come tomorrow?
- He will.

He won't if you're being
horrible to him.

Tom...

(DOOR SHUTS)

(FAINT ASTRONAUT RADIO CHATTER)

TONY: Just try and give him
the benefit of the doubt.

I'm just scared he's gonna build Tom up
with promises and then let him down.

TONY: Everybody deserves
a second chance.

- ALI: Steve's had about 12.
- TONY: I know.

TONY: Let's just try and have
a nice Christmas.

(CROAKING)

(BUZZING)

Don't you like the fly?
Will you have a little grub?

- (KNOCKING)
- Come in.

(CROAKING)

Mr Anderson, do take a seat.
No? Don't want a fly?

(CROAKS)

- Mince pie?
- Er, no, thank you.

Do you understand what my job is?

Yeah, it's to make sure that I don't
fall back into a life of crime.

Yeah. Hmm. It's also
to catch you when you do.

- And I will catch you.
- I'm not gonna do anything wrong.

- I'm sure you hear that all the time.
- All the time.

- But this time it's true.
- But this time it's true.

I want you, for the next two months,
to come to this office

every day at 5:00, starting tomorrow,
excluding Christmas Day.

Is that clear?

Miss an appointment
and I'll assume you're stealing,

and I'll send you back to prison.

Er, just for the record, I wasn't actually
at the stealing end of the business.

- I was the getaway driver.
- Oh.

That's right.
You were the getaway driver...

Who didn't get away. (CHUCKLING)

Hello?

Hello!

My letter.

Argh!

- Oh!
- (CLATTERING)

Oh! Ooh!

Ooh, ooh! Ahhh!

Ho, ho, ho!

I've been old for a thousand years
and I'm not getting any younger.

- Are you the real Santa?
- Why, yes!

Shouldn't you be in Lapland,
sorting out everyone's toys?

Sorting out toys, working out
flight paths, feeding reindeer.

Loading, stowing, stacking,
labelling, cladding,

packing, ribboning, wrapping,

and that's before I even think about
turning the Northern Lights on.

MAN: (ON TV) Arcs,

but more like curtains of... Of green.

It doesn't look to me like

- it's cascading down.
- (PHONE RINGS)

It looks like it's rising
up from the ground.

(PHONE RINGING)

- Hello?
- TOM: (WHISPERING) Hello.

Tom?

I can't talk loudly or Mum will hear.

Hello, mate. How are you?
How are you doing?

Santa's in the garage.

What?

TOM: He says that
we've got to help him get home.

- He says he knows you.
- Are you in the garage with a man?

No, I'm in the house.
Santa's in the garage.

Okay, Tom,
can you put your mum on, please?

TOM: No, I can't.

Santa says it has to be you.

STEVE: Tom, listen to me...

He's crashed his sleigh, lost his
reindeer, and if we don't help him...

- Tom, go and get your mother. Please.
- No. I'm going back to the garage.

- Santa wants to show me his plan.
- Tom.

Tom.

(TYRES SCREECHING)

I'm worried about the reindeer.
It's only natural.

Prancer is the oldest... Steve!

Who the hell are you?

- What are you doing?
- Who are you?

- You know who I am.
- I what?

- You know who I am.
- I haven't got a clue who you are.

He's Santa!

Okay, just so we're clear, the only
reason I haven't knocked your block off

is because of him, so whatever
your reason is for being here now

it better be a good one.

I was running in my new sleigh.

I came in too low, hit a telephone wire,

got thrown off and hit my head.

Tom?

He's lost his reindeer, and if he doesn't get
to Lapland, Christmas is off.

All right, Tom.

When your father was your age,
he saw me.

- What are you talking about?
- It was Christmas Eve.

You saw a shooting star
racing across the heavens.

- That was me.
- Tom?

- Tom, are you in there?
- We need to help him, Steve.

- Tom, who are you talking to?
- Go on, you get out of here.

- And don't you ever come back.
- Bye, Tom. Don't worry.

Tom, inside.

- Steve.
- Toby.

It's... It's Tony.

ALI: What is it, T?

It's nothing.

It's just a cat.

Shh. Shh! It's me.

Thank goodness.
I was so worried about you.

Antlers up. Who wants to go home?

All of you? Right, leave it to me.

Now, if I can just get them airborne...

(SIREN WAILING)

WOMAN: (ON TV) Toe tap right,
toe tap left.

Swing the arms. Four more...

MAN: (ON TV) This is the scene
from Sydney, Australia,

where Christmas Eve begins
just like any other day.

Big steps, count four.

MAN: (ON TV) Yesterday we told you about
reindeer running over Tower Bridge,

and now this festive story
has taken another mysterious twist.

A man in his 60S, claiming to be
none other than Father Christmas,

broke into Battersea Dogs Home,
where the reindeer are being housed,

and tried to catapult them
over the fence.

It looks like Santa will be
spending Christmas in prison.

But don't worry, kids.
He's not the real Santa.

How do we know?
Because Santa's reindeer can fly.

(CAMERA CLICKING)

Ten sticks of rock.

As a matter of fact,
they're called candy canes.

Ten sticks of rock.

- Letters.
- Forty-one.

Forty-one letters.

(INMATES JEERING)

INMATE #1: Oi, pops!
What am I getting for Christmas?

INMATE #2: Send him
a letter like everyone else!

All right, lads, leave it out.

INMATE #3: Oi, Santa! Are you gonna
escape up the chimney?

Eh? (CHUCKLING)

Right, stop. This one. This one.

I'd get changed if I was you.

You can't keep me in here.

Room not to your liking, sir?

Oh, wait, I do apologise,
but all the sea-view rooms are taken.

Officer, please,
this is very, very important.

You have to let me out of here
or Christmas will be cancelled.

(DOOR SLAMS SHUT)

(SPLATTING ON WINDOW GRILL)

Hello, mate.

Take me to see Santa or I'm not coming.

That's the deal. Take it or leave it.

I'll take it.

When are you going to
get rid of this old banger?

Oh, now, now.
This old banger treated us well.

- I made you both a packed lunch.
- Thank you.

- Have fun.
- We will.

Thank you.

- Bye.
- (KISSES TOM)

Love you.

I'm sorry about last night.

So, do you wanna go and see
Father Christmas?

What do you say we swing by Harrods?

Santa's in prison.

What? No. No. We can't go and see
that old fruitcake from last night.

He's not a fruitcake.

Well, he's definitely a few fries short
of a Happy Meal.

He's Santa.

Look, Tom, I can't get us into prison
to go and see him.

It's not possible. I'm sorry.
No, wait, wait, wait.

There might be a way.

Table six. You've got five minutes.

Right, I'll tell you what.

If I... When I prove
that he's not Father Christmas,

can we just forget all of this
and have a nice day together? Mm?

Okay.

(DOOR OPENS)

Oh.

Thank you for coming.
This place is horrible.

Yeah, well, it's not
a holiday camp, Nick.

- You know my name.
- I worked it out.

- How?
- Well, I thought of Saint Nicholas,

and then I abbreviated it to Saint Nick.

And then, I took away the "Saint".

(CHUCKLES)
That's exactly how I came to it.

Oh, wow! What do you know?

I tried other more elaborate names,
but that one seemed to stick.

- We've come to rescue you.
- Thank goodness.

Yeah, we thought we'd free your
reindeer and fly in and pick you up.

No, that wouldn't work because
the reindeer can't actually fly.

I mean, not by themselves, but...
Well, it's complicated.

But if you find the sleigh,
I mean, provided it's not broken,

then you might be able to.

Are you on medication?

Or worse, are you not on medication?

Ho, ho, ho!

- You still don't believe I'm Santa.
- Do you wanna know why?

- Because I'm 30.
- But once you were seven.

Yeah, and I saw a shooting star.
Tell me something I don't know.

It was an exceptionally cold
Christmas night.

Your parents were drunk.
They'd been rowing.

- My parents got divorced.
- This was their last Christmas together.

You ran out into the back garden.
You were crying.

You heard a noise
in the skies above you.

The sound of bells, sleigh bells,
and that's when you saw me.

You knew it wasn't a shooting star.

That's just what your mother told you.
But you had proof.

You found a gift in the garden,
a gift that I had left for you.

What was it? Do you remember?

Why don't you tell me?

It was the most popular gift
of that year.

A Rubik's cube.

You still have it, don't you?

Not because of me. Oh, no.

No, you kept it because that was
the last family Christmas you ever had.

How do you know that?

Because he's Santa.

Deep in your heart, you know who I am.

Deep in my heart, you're a nutbag.

(CHUCKLING)

The reindeer have been moved
to a private area in Richmond Park.

Go there. Seek out Dasher.

He knows what to do.

- Dasher speaks?
- He communicates.

Right, that's it,
I've had enough of this.

We haven't seen each other
in a very long time, Okay?

And I wouldn't ask this if it wasn't
the most important job in the world.

- Come on, we're going.
- We had a deal.

What, you wanna spend our day
looking for a talking reindeer?

- Yes.
- Okay, then, that's what we'll do.

- Thank you.
- No, thank you.

- Come on.
- One more thing.

How do I survive in this place?

Erm, stop pretending
to be Father Christmas.

Steve.

Go and see the barber.

- Er, I can't change my look.
- For advice.

Tell him I sent you.

(BUZZING)

Excuse me. Are you the barber?

- No, I'm the vet.
- They keep animals here?

Yeah, they keep
all sorts of animals in here.

Do they keep reindeer?

- Are you trying to be funny?
- No, I'm trying to find the barber.

It's pretty obvious
I'm the barber, isn't it?

Steve Anderson said
you'd be able to help me.

- You know Steve?
- I know Steve very well.

- Do one.
- Eh?

Do one.

Any friend of Steve's a friend of mine.

Oh, that's great news!
A friend is exactly what I need.

What can I do for you?

Well, it's rather a long story.

Take a seat, pops.
The one thing we've got in here is time.

Well, I was born in Lapland
a long time ago.

Neighbourhood I grew up in
was a small town

in the Laughing Valley of Hohaho.

Although my childhood was happy,

one day an old woodcutter told me
about all the poverty in the world.

And I was so shocked
that I went straight to Elf City.

Now, the elves are wonderful
toy makers, as you know.

So I went there with a mission,

that on Christmas morning,
from that day forth,

every child would get a toy.

I know what you're thinking.
Where do the reindeer come in?

STEVE: Right, so there's six reindeer,

and they all look like, er, reindeer.

None of them appear to be talking,
but... No, hang on, one second.

Oh, no, he's just eating grass.

Why are you acting like an idiot, Steve?

You know, it wouldn't hurt you
to call me Dad once in a while,

'Cause, like it or lump it,
that's what I am.

Lump it.

You're not going over the fence.
Get off the fence.

Oi, you're not climbing over the fence.

Right, that's it, mister. Me and you
are now officially no longer friends.

So, as we speak, Steve and his son Tom

are rescuing my head reindeer, Dasher,

who will then lead them
to my new magic sleigh.

They will then be able to fly in
and spring me from prison.

Well, me first advice is
don't tell anyone about this.

- Yeah, not in here.
- Okay.

In fact, I think it might be better

if we create a whole
new back story for you.

You know, one where you won't end up
in a psychiatric unit.

- You don't think they'll believe me?
- I'm positive they won't.

So instead of "Santa Claus",
let's pretend your name's,

I don't know, something like
Mad Jimmy Claws.

You're a veteran safe cracker,
bank robber, all-round bad guy.

Mad Jimmy Claws?

Yeah. Do you like it?

- I think it's horrible.
- It's supposed to be.

Show me your gangster face.

- My what?
- Your mean face.

Hmm?

Now, if you're gonna be
Mad Jimmy Claws, you've gotta be...

- Mad.
- No, not mad crazy.

Just mean.

Mean.

- No, mean.
- Mean.

Don't ever do that again.

Okay, so, Dasher, if you are here,

your boss wants us
to spring him from prison,

and he says that you would
know what to do.

- Nothing.
- He might be shy.

Or he might be a reindeer
that doesn't speak.

Dasher, we're your friends.

We're not going to hurt you.

If you're here, just show yourself.

(REINDEER GRUNTING)

(REINDEER FARTS)

(VERY LONG FART)

Santa didn't say he spoke.
He said he communicated.

That's not a communication.
That's a fart.

Hello, reindeer.

If any of you are trying to speak,
fart now.

(FARTING)

Oh, come on.

If one of you is Dasher, fart now.

Dasher's not here.

- What, that's your proof?
- No.

That's my proof.

Santa has seven reindeer.

(REINDEER FARTING)

All right, so what does that mean?

(SIREN WAILING)

No, no, no, no. Quick, run!

This is Sierra 15. We're in pursuit
of a man and child on suspicion of...

- Why are we chasing them?
- Suspected reindeer rustling.

(ENGINE FAILS TO START)

- Oh, come on. Come on, come on.
- This van's rubbish.

She's a bit rusty.

But that's what happens when
you've been locked up for two years.

- Come on!
- Hurry.

(TYRES SCREECH)

(SIREN WAILING)

This is bad, Tom.
This is really, really bad.

If I get caught, I'm going straight
back to... Oh, my!

Dasher.

It's him. Do you think
he can fly us out of here?

No, I do not think
he can fly us out of here.

- Dasher, can you fly?
- (DASHER FARTS)

Will you stop asking
him questions, please?

- It really is him, isn't it?
- Well, it is a reindeer, yes,

I will give you that.

I'm really sorry, I think we should
get back onto the road.

If we stay on the grass,
we're going to be blocked in.

- Gatehouse, this is Finkerton.
- MAN: (ON POLICE RADIO) Who?

- Sergeant Finkerton.
- Finker what?

Finkerton! Thames Valley Police.

We have some traffic coming your way.
Be sure to stop it. Over!

- What are we gonna do now?
- Well, we either stop or we don't.

Don't!

That was brilliant!

Yes, but definitely not within
the terms of my parole.

(SIREN WAILING)

Not tough enough?

Well, you're walking
like you need the toilet.

All right.

- How about this?
- Yeah, come on.

- Fractionally better.
- Oh, good.

Now, remember, anyone stares at you,
you stare right back at them, yeah?

Don't be afraid,
but don't be stupid either.

And if they won't budge,
tell 'em to get out of your face.

Get out of your face!

No, not get out of their face.
Get out of your face.

Get out of their face.
Get out of your face.

No. Get out of me face.

- Get out of me face.
- That's it, yeah.

- Yeah, Okay.
- Get out of me face.

- Get out of me face.
- Get out of me face.

- Yeah. Yeah, yeah.
- Very good.

Right, in the chair.

- Not...
- No, no, no, don't worry.

I'm not gonna cut your beard.
Just a few finishing touches.

- What's he doing?
- Stop the van.

- Why?
- Stop the van.

- I think he wants to get out.
- I wanna know how he got in.

- TOM: Dad, hurry!
- STEVE: Wait up.

Dasher!

Dasher?

Dasher! If that really is your name.

Dasher!

- Oh, yeah. Hello. Um...

So we found...
Well, we've got a reindeer

and some sort of a, well, yeah,
it's a weird sleigh thing.

Oh, Steve, that's great!

What should I do now?

Go to the rear of the vehicle,

and there you'll find a compartment
with a picture of a,

- well, a rather nice picture of a...
- Elf in a jumpsuit?

Correct. Yes.
Now, there's a handle at the back.

Now, make sure it's secure,

but whatever you do
don't pull it all the way out

because that way you'd lose the magic

Uh...

- Well, it's empty.
- No.

Yeah. And all the... All the green

It's all over the ground.

No, his name's Jimmy. Jimmy Claws.

I've heard you do a right moody

Ho, ho, ho!

I'm Jimmy Claws, not Santa Claus.

- Get out of my face.
- What you say?

I said, yes, I do a fine impression
of Santa Claus.

- Show me.
- What would you like me to say?

- What does FC normally say?
- "FC". I like that!

Have you been good?

"Or you been really, really naughty?"

No, no, no. Ho, ho, ho!
Merry Christmas, everyone.

Merry Christmas.

Now you're talking.

- You got the job.
- What job?

We're having a Christmas Eve party
later for the kids and the families.

We do it every year.

I want you to dress up
as Father Christmas and do a turn.

You know, we'll even have the guards
get you a costume.

- Would you do that for me?
- Oh, yes!

I mean, sure, I'll do that for you.

If all else fails.

If all else fails,
go to Hermey's Tower, Suffolk.

- We can't go to Suffolk.
- Why?

'Cause you've gotta be home at 4:00
and I've got a parole meeting at 5:00.

- But we're trying to save Christmas.
- And I'm trying to stay out of prison.

So you're just gonna quit?

I can't miss my parole meeting, Tom.
It's impossible. I'm sorry.

Then Mum was right about you.

What do you mean? Why?
What did Mum say about me?

That you'd build me up with promises
and then let me down.

That's a very nasty thing to say,
and it's not true.

Well, no, actually, it is true.

I am immensely unreliable
and I always let people down,

which is precisely the reason
why Santa would never choose me

for this so-called mission.

Yeah? Well, he did.
So he must have had a good reason.

All I wanted today
was a chance to be a proper dad.

Do you have any idea how long
I've been waiting to see you?

Two years, one month and three days.

That's right.

Santa's relying on you, Dad.

Hello.

Hello, Miss Mawbury,
it's Steve Anderson here.

Oh, Steve.
To what do I owe this misfortune?

(CHUCKLES) Um...

I was just wondering
if it would be possible

to cancel...
Postpone our meeting until next week.

You see, something quite important
has just come up with my son.

RUTH: My dear boy, if you don't
come and visit me today at 5:00,

then you'll be having
Christmas dinner behind bars.

- Comprende?
- Yeah, yeah, absolutely clear.

Well, thank you, thanks very much
for being so understanding.

All right. Bye-bye. Bye.

Did you hear what I said?

Let's go save Christmas.

We are yet to ascertain
whether the stolen deer

was one of those from the Tower Bridge

or one of the royal deer

Go on, get in, quick.

One sec.

It's all right.
We're not the first people to try that.

Actually, we probably are.

- You've done well, pops.
- We did well.

We couldn't have done it
without you, though.

It's teamwork, that's all.

could achieve on the outside

if you all pulled together.

- Yeah.

Well, you've certainly got
the routine down if nothing else.

(CHUCKLES)

I've got a mate of mine that can get hold
of some moody Christmas trees.

With you dressed like that,

we can knock 'em out
for a bull's-eye a piece.

Your name's Roger Shaw.

You grew up in Bethnal Green.

When you were nine,
you wrote to me and asked for a bike.

I brought you one. It was silver.

Two days later, your father sold it
to make ends meet.

Your name is Sam Peters.
You were born in Torquay, Devon.

When you were six, you wrote to me
and asked for a painting set.

I brought you one
and you used it every day.

Until your friends told you it was girly
and you threw it in the bin.

Your name is Marlon Baxter.

When you were seven,
your mother left you

and your father and you wrote to me
asking for her to come home.

Well, that's not the sort of wish
I can grant.

But she's alive
and living in Leeds in Yorkshire,

and not a single day goes by
when she doesn't regret what she did.

Should I carry on?

No.

I'm Santa, Father Christmas,
call me what you want.

With the help of two friends,
I intend to escape from here tonight

so that I can deliver presents
to all the children in the world.

Wait. What friends?

Steve Anderson. You may know him.
And his son Tom.

You put the fate of Christmas
in the hands of that monkey?

Steve is very reliable.

Steve Anderson is a lot of things,
but reliable is not one of 'em.

You stick with me, pops.
I'll get you out.

Oh... (CHUCKLES)

he could be anywhere now.

- Oh, that's not good, is it?
- Let me speak with Tom.

All right.

- It's your mum.
- Hey, Mum.

Where are you, sweetie?

Just saving Christmas with Dad.

Sweetheart,
we've been really worried about you.

- Your dad is in heaps of trouble.
- He didn't do anything wrong.

Look, you must tell me where you are.

No.

STEVE: Hiya.

Please, bring him home.

Alison, you really need to just
trust me on this one, Okay?

Hello, Steve. This is Ruth.

RUTH: Yes, I just wanted
to make you aware

that the only thing right now
between you and prison is me.

What on earth are you wearing?

What do you mean, what am I wearing?

In more ways than one.

Stay close to him, cos he's
your insurance policy out of here.

- What do you think of the costume?
- SANTA: Terrible.

The cuffs are wrong, collar's wrong
and the hat's completely wrong.

Peter Pan.

Hermey's Tower.

Tom, will you just wait, please?

I can wait too, if you like.

Erm, no, we'll be all right from here.

Thanks very much, though.

I was the same after my divorce.

Trying to do too much
to make things right.

It's Okay.

to your heart more than to your head.

- Merry Christmas.
- Merry Christmas.

WOMAN: Where do you think he's heading?

We're currently looking into whether
he has any friends or family in Suffolk.

Would you like my take?

Well, I can't help but feel
we're gonna get it.

I just received a phone call
from Lambeth Prison.

Steve broke his parole conditions

and paid a visit to this man.

I did a little research.

This picture is 20 years old.

A friend of mine from the Yard
just sent it over.

He looks the same age.

His name is Harry Mitchell.

He was arrested Christmas '92

for trying to climb down
someone's chimney.

Well, he's mad, obsessed with Christmas.

So what?

He escaped out of the police vehicle
on the way from court.

They still don't know how he did it.

It would appear he's something
of an escape artist.

I just rang the governor at Lambeth
to let him know.

- What's going on?
- Come on, Harry,

- you're coming with us.
- We're having a Christmas party.

- Where are you taking me?
- Back to your cell.

But there are children
waiting to see me.

We're just running a few checks, Harry.
That's all.

Harry? Who's Harry?

It's the same as the picture
in the book.

Hello!

Hello!

Hello!

It's only got three sides!

"Last collection 24th of December.

"No collection after 12:00 midnight."

What is this?

- (RINGING TONE)
- Hello?

Hello, mate.
Can I speak to Santa, please?

What, you mean Harry Mitchell?

What are you talking about?

Father Christmas, Santa Claus,
whatever you wanna call him.

His real name's Mitchell,
Harry Mitchell.

- Go on.
- He's got previous.

Arrested in Bradford
on a burglary charge.

He's some sort of scam man.

They've got him on temporary lockdown
in his cell while they run checks.

Give up on this joker, lad,
before you wind up back in here.

Take care.

What's happened?

He's not Santa.

- Yes, he is.
- He's not.

But what about the sleigh? And Dasher?

And all the stuff he knew about you?

I don't know. Some sort of weird trick.

- It's not, Dad.
- Look, look around you, Son.

It's not Santa's grotto.
It's some sort of a water tower.

What about the book?

What about it?

I don't know.
Maybe we're in the wrong place.

Maybe there's another tower.

Okay, listen to me, Tom.

I'm in a great deal
of trouble, all right?

The sooner we call off this whole
search thing, the better it'll be for me.

(EXHALES)

Thank you.

Lambeth Prison
have Harry Mitchell in his cell.

- They obviously trust your instincts.
- Well, I'm glad somebody does.

Well, maybe I do owe you
an apology. (CHUCKLES)

Hmm, that's very gracious of you.

We don't have to be friends
for me to admire your wisdom.

Find Steve Anderson
and we can all let our hair down.

(MOBILE RINGING)

Well, well, well.

Steve.

STEVE: All right, just listen to me
or I'm ringing off.

I didn't hit that policeman,
all right, in the van.

It was Dasher.

I mean, it was a reindeer.

As far as I'm concerned,

all you've done is miss
a parole meeting.

You're not gonna send me back to prison?

I won't send you back to prison.

All right, we're, well, we're at a place
called Hermey's Tower in Suffolk.

We'll wait for you here, all right?

You're not sending him back to prison?

No.

You are.

Santa.

Barber!

You've got to help me.
You've got to call Steve.

I just spoke to him.
He's through with you.

Steve would never give up on Christmas.

Steve knows all about Harry Mitchell.

Who?

BARBER: You know who.

Now, listen, you're getting a very
good friend of mine in a lot of trouble.

And that can't happen.

Do you understand me?

SANTA: Barber, it's Christmas Eve!

- You have to help me!
- INMATE: Shut it!

Why would someone lie
about something like this?

I don't know.
Sometimes adults like to tell fibs.

Yeah, but not about something
as big as this.

Do you remember the last time
I saw you and I told you a story?

It was a spaceman story

about an astronaut going on a long
and dangerous mission to Mars,

and the only thing
to keep him going on this mission

was the love that he had for his son.

And I told you that story for a reason.

You didn't want me to forget you.

You wanted me to know that
someday you'd be a good dad.

You are a good dad. The best.

But that still doesn't explain
why Santa would lie.

Well, I don't know. I mean, sometimes
people like to tell stories, you know?

Maybe he just likes to tell people
that he's Santa Claus,

flying around the world on his sleigh.

TOM: It's the sky!

What is?

That's the North Star.

This is the Plough.

So that... That's the North Star.

Look, it's... It's a code.

So, if I move this to here

and this to here...

(CLANKING AND WHIRRING)

(RUMBLING)

This isn't a map.

This is instructions.

And that's not a tower.
It's a letter box.

This must be one of the routes
for the letters to get to Lapland.

This must be a slide
for Santa to get to Lapland.

You can't take a slide all the way
to Lapland. It would take weeks.

- Well, let's go down it.
- Oh, no, we won't.

(DASHER BELLOWS)

- What?
- (FARTS)

Sometimes you fart, sometimes
you truffle. Be more specific.

- He's telling us to go.
- Tom, no!

and they want him sprung
so he can join his dad.

Yeah, wasn't his dad...

(HIGH-PITCHED TONE)

Now a change to the schedule.

Unconfirmed reports just
in from Sydney, Australia,

that thousands of children have
awoken on Christmas morning

to discover their stockings empty.

Can this really be the first time
that Santa has failed to deliver?

I hope, and I'm sure I speak
for all of us, I hope this is not true.

Ugh!

What do you mean,
what have we done with him?

- He's in prison.

Um, he crashed his sleigh

and he got arrested
for trying to rescue his reindeer.

It doesn't prove anything.

you don't listen to Buster.

Who test-drives his new sleigh
two days before Christmas?

Stop making this personal, Buster.

This is not about you.

Excuse... Sorry, excuse me.

Are you, er, elves?

ENTWHISTLE: Why, yes.

Is this Elf City?

This is a forest,
a forest that surrounds Elf City.

Elf City is that way.

Come this way.

- ELF #1: Come on.
- ELF #2: Follow us.

I never thought it was real.

Not even as a boy.

I'm just putting you through now.

WOMAN #1: With you in a mo, Binky.

WOMAN #2: Send more

WOMAN #3: Terribly sorry,
they're busy right now.

WOMAN: Roger. Over and out.

ENTWHISTLE: Arts and crafts
have knocked up a map of the prison.

Now, I apologise it's not to scale,

but they've done the best they could
under the circumstances.

We believe Santa's where?

General population, C block.

Hmm. Is he gettable? Can we get to him?

STEVE: No. I mean, maybe.

You're quite sure there's no magic dust
left in the main sleigh?

- Quite sure. It was completely empty.
- Well, that's it, then, lads.

It's over.

Wait. So Santa crashed the new sleigh.

- Then there must be an old sleigh.
- ENTWHISTLE: Yes.

So why can't we just fly in and get him?

Elves aren't allowed to fly the sleigh.

- Why?
- ENTWHISTLE: Medical reasons.

What medical reasons?

If we fly over a thousand feet,
we explode.

Oh.

Look, I hate to be the grump here,
but I'm also the realist.

He's missed New Zealand
and he's also missed Australia,

not to mention Kiribati, Samoa, Tonga.

And pretty soon the world's gonna wake up
to discover Santa's gone AWOL.

It's over, elves. It's over.

STEVE: There's a door on the roof.

It's not on your map.

It's an emergency door.

We used it for a fire drill once.

Now, this door leads to a main atrium,
with access to all the cells.

Now, if you can figure out a way
of getting me airborne,

I'll fly in,

I'll land on the roof

and I'll get him out of there.

(LAUGHS)

(ALL LAUGHING)

Just cos you think you're a getaway
driver, you think you can fly a sleigh.

ENTWHISTLE: That's a very
courageous offer, Steve,

but to fly the sleigh takes
an awful lot of training.

- Dad's a brilliant driver.
- ENTWHISTLE: Even so.

Santa came to me for a reason.

"Santa came to me." Ha!

You tell me to run this like a business?

He's making it personal.

Look, even if you could fly the sleigh,
Steve, we've only got one reindeer left.

He's retired and he's got three teeth.

SPECS: Well, Prancer
could make it to the prison.

We'll then just need our friends
to get Santa to the main sleigh.

And what about the six reindeer
being held in Richmond Park?

Parachute Oswald in.

(SQUEAKY CHATTERING)

We know Dasher will make
his own way there.

Oswald simply needs to free the others
and get them to the main sleigh.

And we forget about
the unfolding nightmare in Australia?

Who's to say he hasn't left the
Australian kids their presents already?

In their back yards,
in their garages, on the beaches.

Santa'll make it on time.

And so will we.

It's not personal, Buster.

It's strictly business.

no-one questions it.

- Yeah, but how does that help us?
- The reindeer run on the green light.

TONY: What reason could Steve
possibly have to take Tom to a prison?

Because he's a dishonest,
irresponsible, childish imbecile.

No, no, it doesn't make sense,
any of it.

Yeah, maybe the parole officer
just got the wrong end of the stick.

Why would he steal a reindeer?

Why would anyone steal a reindeer?

Write Santa a letter.

Come on.

(LAUGHS) Respect to the little man.

Tom, will you just give me
two seconds to think, please?

- MAN #1: Search Mitchell's cell.
- MAN #2: Right.

No, you'd best make that one.

You coming?

No, I'm gonna stay, do me time.

- (SIRENS BLARING)
- MAN: Any eyes on the suspect?

- BOYLE: (OVER RADIO) Negative.
- Don't mess this up, Boyle.

This is your chance to shine.

Copy that. Travelling to Lambeth Prison.

- SANTA: What are we doing?
- SALLY: We're running.

I know that. Where are we running to?

- In here.
- (SIRENS BLARING)

"Santa. We're in the prison.
We have the magic powder."

It's Steve. They have the magic powder.

They're in the prison.

And how exactly is that good news?

Oh, no.

BOYLE: All units be advised,
prison break in progress.

Repeat, prison break in progress.

(GROANS)

STEVE: Take the bag.

I'm liable to end up in prison because
I think I'm gonna wring his neck.

- Steve?

We're just coming off Coldharbour Lane.

More importantly, where are you?

- We're not far. Just stay there.
- (TYRES SCREECH)

- Who are these clowns?
- STEVE: Alison.

Ali... Come on.

- Drive.
- I beg your pardon?

Put your foot on the accelerator
and drive.

He most certainly will not!
And if you two don't get out of our car,

Tony's gonna come back there
and drag you out.

Well... Well, um...

STEVE: Hello.

- Sweetheart!
- Mum!

- Steve!
- Santa!

I knew you wouldn't let me down.

- Any chance we could get going?
- Tony, drive!

You need to take us to a park not far
from here where there is a sleigh,

and whilst I know it sounds weird...

- He's Santa.
- He really is.

I am.

I'm not an elf.

- Can everyone stop being mad, please?
- (SIRENS BLARING)

Alison, this man really is
the real Santa Claus

and if we don't get him to his sleigh
right now, then Christmas is cancelled.

- It's true.
- Go, Tony!

- What are you doing?
- No idea.

We're in pursuit of suspects, er,
on Trith Street, heading west, west, west.

- STEVE: We need to go faster.
- I'm already doing 60.

Well, do 70.

(SIRENS BLARING)

They're gaining on us.

Is that my tool bag?

- What are they?
- Pellets.

STEVE: You can't fire
pellets at the police.

You can't fire pellets at anyone.

Reindeer pellets. They're droppings.

- Reindeer poo?
- Very gluey.

Sometimes I use it on my boots
so I stick to the roofs.

Specs thought it might come in handy.

He was right.

We're being shot at!

- Yes!
- Get in!

Well, that's three years in prison
right there.

That's five years.

Request armed backup.
Repeat. Officers under fire.

Boyle? Did you say under fire?

BOYLE: (OVER RADIO) Copy that.
Officers under fire.

Reload!

Ugh.

Ah...

Here.

Ho, ho, ho! I can see you!

Yes! In the face.

I'm hit. I'm hit. I'm hit.

I'm hit.

Boyle, you hang in there, Okay?
Help is on the way!

Boyle? Boyle!

Oh, my God. It's poo.

It... It's poo. It's poo.

Oh, my God. It's poo.

Don't worry about that, Boyle.

Accidents happen.

You hang in there. Okay?

WOMAN: (OVER RADIO)
Officer down. Repeat, officer down.

Ambulance on its way.

Ugh, ugh.

(CHATTERING)

STEVE: How did he get
the sleigh off the tracks?

He flew it.

That is one exceptionally
clever squirrel.

That's Oswald.

(SIRENS BLARING AT DISTANCE)

SANTA: Hello, boys.

Oh, there you are.

Very good.

Oh! Lovely to see you again,
my dears. Wonderful.

Oh, well done, chaps.

Ah, Dasher, there. (LAUGHS)

- How much of this stuff shall I put in?
- SANTA: All of it.

I've got a very long night ahead of me.

Right-o.
So much to do, so little time. (SIGHS)

Good work, Oswald. Well done.

So, can I just ask,
is the plan for that thing to fly?

Oh, yes.

- And, er, you're going along with that?
- Yeah.

I spent four years digging a tunnel.

I never imagined my getaway vehicle
would be a sleigh.

SANTA: Climb aboard, Sally.

Mind the squirrel.

- All right?
- (SQUEAKS)

About your letter...

You asked me to stop your dad
from letting you down.

That's not the sort of wish I can grant.

But my wish was granted.

But not because of me.
It was because of you.

Sometimes adults aren't quite
as grown up as you'd hope.

But what children teach them is love.

(SIREN WAILING)

Come on.

- It's time.
- Yes.

- Quick, Santa, go!
- Yes, yes.

(SIRENS APPROACHING)

(LAUGHS)

RUTH: Flick the reins and fly away?
(LAUGHS)

Can I have your licence
and registration documents, please?

Yes, Harry,
whilst this all looks very convincing,

the outfit and the sleigh,

the part that doesn't stack up
is why would anyone,

least of all Santa Claus,

turn to Steve Anderson for help?

It's a fair point.

I came to Steve
because he sees things through.

RUTH: Oh, he's known for his diligence.

Steve saw me when he was a child.

I'd given him a Rubik's cube.

He still hasn't managed to solve it
to this day,

but unlike nearly every other child
in the world,

he hasn't cheated
and he hasn't given up trying.

Thank you for all your kind words,

but I really think it's time
you got going.

Oh, no. You're all under arrest.

You don't have to say anything

but it may harm your defence
if you do not mention when questioned

something which you later
rely on in court.

In that case, I'd like to say something.

Let it be known, for the record,
that Steve and Thomas Anderson

have saved Christmas
for the world entire.

You can't take that away from them,
even if you can take away their freedom.

Don't worry.

Sometimes adults find it hard to accept
the magic of Christmas.

But when they experience it
with their own eyes,

even the coldest of hearts warm.

She won't send you back to prison.

Sit back in your seat. Hold tight.

(SLEIGH POWERS UP)

Thank you, both.

No, thank you.

Merry Christmas to you all.

- Merry Christmas.
- Merry Christmas.

Merry Christmas.
