>>Mmmm, Dash, I am
not getting up

till the alarm
clock goes off.

>>Good morning.

Can you believe it's
already December?

Wow, how the holiday's
sneak up on you.

I could have sworn, last week
it was just Thanksgiving.

Here's a Christmas song
that you are going to love.

>>All right, all
right, I'm up.

**

The raindrops falling
on my face invite

my soul to take a taste as
thunder spreads its wings

into the space of me.

I tilt my head
toward the sky

and laugh out loud
as cars go by.

It's been so long since
I have felt alive inside.

I'm free to jump,
I'm free to fall,

free to let it roll away
when I drop the ball.

I'm not ashamed to brake
down and cry so come on,

precaution, take
a step aside,

'cuz you see it's boring,
it's teaching me to fly.

'cuz you see it's boring,
it's teaching me to fly.

There's a breeze that's
blowing past my door

and it's bringing change like
I have never known before.

It used to be that when
it rained it poured.

Not any more so give me more,
cus I'm free to jump,

I'm free to fall,
free to let it roll away

when I drop the ball.

I'm not ashamed to
brake down and cry,

so come on precaution,
take a step aside,

because you see
it's boring.

>>Hi. This message
is for Ms. Hendrix.

It's Ashley and my
water went out again.

Do you know when
it will be back on?

Maybe Mr. Hendrix
could help?

Please give me
a call. Thanks.

Dash, I'm sorry.

I'll bring you home
some bottled water,

okay, I got to go.

Morning, Nick.

>>Morning, Ashley.

Get your Christmas tree yet?

>>It's barely December.

>>Nothing wrong with
getting a jump-start,

only comes once a year.

>>So does hurricane season.

So were you off to.

>>Oh, I got to go to
a friends across town.

Bus takes an
hour and a half.

You?

>>Job interview at 8:30.

>>You better hustle.

>>Meet you at the diner?

>>Count on it.

>>Come on.

The bus.

**

**

>>Who cares what
Forslink is saying?

Look, I know
what I heard.

I've got the
tapes to prove it.

Clare did the fact checking,
everything came back clean.

All right.

I'm right around
the corner.

>>Oh, my gosh.
I am sorry.

>>I'm sorry.

>>Are you okay?

>>Yeah, are you?

>>Yeah, yeah,
yeah, yeah no.

Sorry, again.

>>It's okay.

With the day I'm having
a train will hit me next.

>>Ashley Matthews.

Job hunting?

>>Yeah. I got
to catch the bus.

>>Nice to meet you.

[ringing]

Oh, hey you.

Hello?

No, she's not
here right now.

I'll make sure she
gets that message.

Morning.

>>You selfish
conniving, jerk.

>>Francine, good morning.

I see we're picking up
right where we left off.

>>You just can't resist the
chance to slander someone.

>>Oh, fancy lawyer talk.

Actually, councilor,
slander is verbal.

Libel is written.

>>Fine, well don't
get me sidetracked.

>>To easy.

>>Forslink is not happy.

>>So?

>>You know, I
don't know why Bob

continues to print
your stories.

>>Because they're good and
they sell more magazines,

which I believe is
the point, don't you?

>>Pat yourself on the
back all you want.

You screwed up.

>>Screwed up?

>>Please, you
act so innocent.

Could you just be a man for once
and own up to what you did?

>>I write what I want.

>>That's for sure.

>>If you have a
problem with that,

because it makes you do
your job, deal with it.

>>Have you even heard
one word I've said?

>>Not really, I've gotten
very good at tuning you out.

Francy, if you have a
problem with the story,

take it up with Bob.

He obviously felt it was
fine enough to print.

>>You need to stop
hiding behind him.

>>Your just ticked
he's got my back.

>>Bob wants to see you.

>>Excuse me.
Bob wants to me.

>>Yeah, that makes
complete, sense.

Look, I'll
call you back.

William Price,
have a seat.

>>What's going on?

You only call me
by my full name

when you've had
too much caffeine.

Is Forslink crying?

>>Do they have a reason to?

>>Well, every time I write
an article, somebody cries.

>>Yes, and I'm
beginning to wonder

if that's a
bad thing now.

>>What are you
talking about?

>>I know Clare fact
checked your story

and it panned
out at first,

but she went back when we got
the screaming complaints

and threatened legal action.

>>Legal. No.

They don't have a
leg to stand on.

>>Francine agrees.

Lucky you.

>>But Clare found
something interesting

when she went through the
tapes of your interview.

Your source said the
company was lagging behind,

but he meant lagging behind
in the so-called "green areas."

You, however, implied
the entire company is

on the verge
of going under.

>>It is.

>>And how about you?

You took the facts
out of context;

you spun the story
to slam Forslink.

>>Are you firing me?

>>No. But you owe me.

>>What do you want me to do?

>>Clare, who feels like this
whole thing is her fault,

bless her heart, is going to
be taking maternity leave,

so we're down
one fact checker.

You'll do her job,
just so you can find out

what the truth
really looks like.

>>You're benching me.

>>Benching implies
that this is temporary.

When Clare gets back
we'll re-evaluate it then.

>>Don't do this.

I mean, is this
Francine's idea?

I am a writer.

>>Fine, write all you
want in your spare time,

but I'm not going to
publish a word of it until

you can prove that you can
report and not invent.

>>Hello. How
may I help you?

>>Hi, I'm Ashley Matthews.

I have an
interview with, um.

>>The position's been filled.

We called you this morning.

>>Oh, I don't think
you did, are you sure?

>>We called.

>>Because I have my
cell phone right here

and I would have
heard it ring.

>>Do you think arguing about
this is going to change

the fact the job's
already taken?

>>Oh, Ms. Hendrix.

>>Hello, Ashley.

>>Um, about the running
water in my apartment.

>>Oh, it's still giving
you trouble then?

>>This is like the fourth
time it's gone out.

Should I talk
to Mr. Hendrix?

>>He's away.

>>When will he be back?

>>Very soon.

>>Mrs. Hendrix, I don't
have any running water

in my apartment and it seems
to go out at the worst times.

>>Oh, maybe it will come
back on again then.

We'll get it fixed as
just as soon as we can.

>>Okay, we got a
tomato soup for Nick

and three-alarm
chili for Ashley.

>>Thanks, Dan.

>>My pleasure.

>>How we doing today?

>>I manage.

You guys, here you go.

>>So, how's your friend?

>>Friend?

Oh, he's telling me things
I don't want to hear.

How's your interview?

>>Don't ask.

>>Well, I already asked.
I can't un-ask.

>>It did not go well.

Story of my life.

>>So, what happened?

>>Nick, I really,
you know I just...

>>Well you didn't say anything
about follow up questions.

What happened?

>>Okay. Fine.

Well, first, when I'm half
way through my shower,

the water goes out, again,
so I have to wash my hair out

in Dash's water bowl.

So I'm running late and
I smell like dog water.

I get to my car and of
course it doesn't start,

so I have to run
and catch the bus

and while I'm running
I literally collide

with some random guy,

lose my phone, so I don't'
get the call that the position

has already been taken
and I don't need to get

on the bus to the interview
I'm already late for.

>>You washed your
hair in dog water.

>>I'm so glad you focus
on the important things.

>>That's pretty funny.

>>And to make it worse,

it's the most depressing
time of the year.

>>What do you mean,
it's Christmas.

>>Yeah, Christmas.

It's this soulless
commercial Endeavour

that encourages overspending
and overeating.

>>Oh please.
Is that all?

>>No.

I mean, the Christmas
colors, red and green,

even I know those
don't go together.

And what's with the
Christmas carols?

The Little Drummer Boy?

Who's this boy?

And drums don't go
Porum bum bum bum.

>>Well, there's more
to it then that,

don't you think?

>>Yeah. Christmas is
a time to spend

with your friends
and family.

But when you
don't have that,

Christmas isn't all
it's cracked up to be.

>>Well you have Dash.

Yeah, Dash.

When he showed up on
my doorstep last year

it was the best
Christmas ever.

And before that it
was, oh, never mind.

All I know is that if
I don't find a job

I'm going to have to move
out of my cruddy apartment

and won't be able
to fix my car and worse,

I'm going to have
to give up dash.

I know in the big scheme of
things I'm like, this big,

but is it too much
to ask for a break?

>>Things will turn around.

Listen, I got the
perfect job for you.

>>Really, what?

>>Well, it's seasonal,
but just because

it's Christmasy doesn't
mean you wont' like it.

>>Okay, beggars
can't be choosers.

What kind of work is it?

>>It's a personal assistant.

You run errands, odd
jobs, things like that.

It gets a little busier the
closer it gets to Christmas.

>>Where'd you hear about it?

>>I know the guy
that's hiring.

>>Who is he?

>>You're looking at him.

>>I can't work for you.

>>Why not?

>>Nick, you can't afford
a personal assistant.

>>I got money.

>>I'm not going to
take your money.

>>Well, it's not doing
me any good sitting

in the cookie jar.

>>Nick, I appreciate
the gesture, but.

>>What's the problem?

**

>>Hey Will, what
do you know?

>>Mickey, how's
it going man?

Have an apple.

>>Christmas is
coming you know.

>>I know,
crazy isn't it?

>>Santa's coming
too, any day now.

>>Course he is.

>>Last year he gave
me a hundred dollars.

>>Wow.

Didn't blow it all
in one place did you?

>>No, I might be homeless,
but I ain't stupid.

I invested it.

>>In what?

>>New set of wheels.

>>See you around Mickey.

>>Can you start
work tomorrow?

>>Are you sure
about this?

>>Come by
around 8 AM.

>>Okay. Oh, can
I use your phone?

I need to call my cell and
see if someone picked it up.

>>Sure. Come on.
Make yourself at home.

[ringing]

>>Hello?

>>Hi, um, this is my phone.

>>Ashley, I am so
glad you called.

>>How do you know my name?

>>Your resume.

>>You must be the
guy I ran into.

>>Yup, well, hopefully the
one and only for the day.

Oh, by the way,
Tracy and Associates

called and they've already
filled the position.

>>Thanks, I got that.

>>Well, better
late then never.

>>So, can I get
my phone back?

>>Your phone, right.

Um, can you meet me
sometime tomorrow?

>>Yeah, earlier
the better.

>>How about 8?

The diner on
State and 11th.

Do you know
where that is.

>>Yeah. I eat
there all the time.

>>Great.

We can get some
breakfast or something.

>>Thanks, I just
want my phone back.

>>And you will get
it at 8 o'clock.

>>Okay. What
was your name?

>>Will.

>>Good night, Will.

>>Good night.

>>Uh, good news.

My phone is intact and I
will be getting it tomorrow.

>>Good.

>>You know, I think
the guy with my phone

tried to ask me out.

>>Did you try to say yes?

>>Are you kidding,
I don't know him.

>>Well, isn't
that the point?

I mean, who
do you know?

You know me and Dash.

You should make an effort
to get to know people.

>>Nick, it took me like 6
months to even say hi to you.

>>Yeah, well, I'm not going
to be around forever.

You should try and get
over your fear of people.

>>I'm not afraid of people.

I just don't trust
them. Big difference.

>>Yeah, well, a guy asks you
out, I say you should go.

>>And I say you shouldn't
worry about me.

I'm going to go grab my
phone and I'll be fine.

>>What time?

>>8 o'clock.

>>Oh, you'll be late for
your first day at work.

>>I'm so sorry.
I totally forgot.

>>Well, I'll let it slide.

>>I'll be quick.

I'll run down to
the diner, meet him

and I'll get back
as soon as I can.

>>Okay.

**

>>Will?

>>Ashley, good morning.

>>Hi.

>>How you doing?

>>Fine, I guess.

>>Good, good.

>>So, can I get
my phone back?

>>Oh, yeah. Course.
Right to the point.

>>Thank you.

>>Yeah.

Hey, can I ask
you a question?

>>Okay.

>>It's less of a question,
more of an invitation.

Do you want to
go out some time?

>>I don't think that's
such a good idea.

>>For you or for me?
Or for both of us?

>>Both of us.

>>Why, is there something
wrong with you?

>>What? No, that
came out wrong.

>>Is there something
wrong with you?

>>That's a very valid point.

Uh, in the interest
of full disclosure,

I haven't had
a girlfriend for 6 months

and I'm a little hostile towards
women, plus my x-girlfriend,

she did a number on my
head and I'm over sharing.

I sound a little
pathetic here, don't I?

>>Yeah, a little.

But, you know, I'm probably
worse, so it's okay.

>>Is that a, yes?

>>What, no, no, I, I.

>>No.

>>What's your angle?

>>Angle?

I don't have an angle; I
just want to take you out?

>>Occupation?

>>Journalist. Modern
Business Weekly.

>>Oh, never heard of it.

>>Okay.

>>How do you feel
about Christmas?

>>I love Christmas.

>>Okay.

How do you feel about
The Little Drummer Boy?

>>Person or song?

>>Song, then person.

>>Both needless.

>>Okay.

>>But if I'm going
to go out with you

it has to be
sooner then later.

>>Why?

>>Because if not, I'll
talk myself out of it.

>>Okay?

How about some
time next week?

>>More like tomorrow?

>>Oh, uh yeah.

No, I can swing that.

How about around.

>>Seven.

>>Seven yeah.

And oh we
could go over to.

>>Right here.

>>Here.

>>Okay.

>>Okay.

>>Bye.

>>I'll see you tomorrow.

>>Huh.

>>8:10.

He must have made
an impression.

>>I don't know.

So what do you
want me to do?

>>I want you
to take a walk.

>>Okay you're paying
me to exercise.

>>Yeah well it's
more then that,

here I've drawn out a
route I want you to take.

>>I'm not delivering
drugs am I?

>>No.

>>You never told me why you
need an assistant there.

>>Well trust me it'll all
make sense pretty soon.

Just need to take a walk.

>>But I don't even.

>>Look no more questions.

The more time we spend here
the less time we have.

First stop is the Sacred
Heart Homeless Shelter.

Talk to Harry Bingham.

Tell me Nick sent you.

(singing)
>>So far, away. And long ago.

My memories return of
all the friends I know.

Come this December.

We'll gather around.

>>Hi, I'm picking
something up for Nick.

>>Nick how is he?

>>Good. Good.

>>There you go.

>>Thank you.

(singing)
>>throughout our town.

I pray for a happy holiday.

And, good will to all.

I pray that we'll be safe
and sound in this winter town.

This place we found.

And call our home.

>>Yes, I understand,
I'll give her the message.

Thank you, goodbye.

>>Yes.

>>Hi I'm looking for
Francine Miller.

>>Let me see if
she's available.

Your name?

>>Ashley Matthews.

>>Hi Francine, yes there's
an Ashley Matthew to see you.

Mhm.

>>She's busy right now.

>>Oh, tell her Nick sent me.

>>Hey Francine, she says
that Nick sent her. Okay.

>>She'll be out in a minute.

>>Okay thank you.

>>Ashley.

>>Yeah.

>>Hi, these are for Nick.

>>Oh thank you.

>>yup.

>>Hey.

>Will? What are
you doing here?

>>Uh I work here.

>>Oh I'm just picking
something up.

>>You guys know each other?

>>Yeah.

>>No.

>>We go way back.

>>We met yesterday.

>>If I were you I'd run.

>>I think Ashley can decide
for herself who she sees.

>>Oh, I'm not seeing anyone.

But it was nice to me you.

I got to run. Thanks.

>>See you tomorrow.

Hey so how do
you know Ashley?

>>What's tomorrow?

>>Dinner.

>>Another victim already.

You have a thing
for her don't you?

>>I might be interested.

Hence dinner.

>>You're always on the look
out for a future ex-girlfriend.

>>I think she's a
bit of challenge.

>>Oh what she doesn't worship
the ground you float above.

>>Not every girl
I have a thing

for leaves
without looking.

You knew what you
were getting into.

>>Whatever.

>>So seriously, how
do you know Ashley?

>>She picked up some stuff
for a mutual friend

and before today I
had not seen her.

Happy?

>>Sufficiently.

>>So if you'll excuse
me Bob's asked me

to go over your script again,

just to make sure the
magazines not exposed.

By the way don't you have
some fact checking to do?

>>Yeah thank you.

(knocking)
>>Ah, you're back.

>>It was quite some walk.

>>Yeah. You want
a drink of water?

>>Sure.

>>Have a seat.

>>Thanks.

>>Waters out again huh?

>>Yeah I got some bottled.

>>So how'd it go?

>>Fine. So, what
is all this anyway?

>>It's your work.

>>Mine.

>>Mhm.

>>What am I supposed
to do with it?

>>Read it.

>>All of it.

>>Well, I'll help.

>>There's a lot in there
it's going to take me

all night to read.

>>Yeah well.

>>Thanks.

>>Go a lot faster
then you think.

I made you dinner.

>>Thank you.

>>Julianne Ryan age seven.

Mother is Iraq
with the marines.

Lives with grandmother Rose.

Rose has Diabetes
and needs medication

and a new hearing aid.

Julianne needs new shoes.

She loves Barbie,
anything Barbie.

So who are all
these people?

>>There people
that need help.

>>There's a lot of them.

>>Yeah, there always are.

>>So what do you do?

>>We help them.

>>We?

>>You're my assistant
now aren't you?

>>How do you help them
this stuff costs money.

>>I got a little
tucked away.

>>Have you seen this pile
it would cost a fortune

to help all these people?

>>Yeah.

>>Where do you
get the money?

You are dealing drugs.

>>I'll let you
in on a secret.

But you mustn't
tell anybody.

>>Okay.

>>I'm rich.

>>How rich?

>>filthy.

>>If you're so rich why
do you still live here.

>>Well a roofs a roof.
I'm warm I'm dry.

I'm good.

>>How did you
make your money?

>>Well I was a
good businessman,

really good at finances.

I'm well enough off.

>>Well enough off.

>>If I wanted to I could own
a couple of city blocks.

>>Why don't you?

>>I don't believe
in real estate.

I think people are
a better investment.

Which reminds me.

Here's what we're
going to do tomorrow.

>>So is this what you do?

You find people to help.

>>Well things are
especially hectic

during the
Christmas season.

I mean people need
help all year round.

But, during Christmas
things that they don't have

and need are much
more on their minds.

>>So you're like
a philanthropist.

>>Well I don't
like that label.

This time of year it's
sort of a secret Santa.

>>Have you ever done
anything for me?

Last year.
You gave me Dash.

>>Minute I layed
eyes on him

I thought he was
perfect for you.

>>How did you know?

>>Well when you first moved
in you had that little pendant.

You know that doggy.

>>Yeah.

>>But no dog.

>>Thought it was
a good match.

>>Why didn't you tell me?

>>Well that would sort
of defeat the purpose

of a secret Santa.

>>Listen to me.

These people need your help.

And I need your help.

Now this is the perfect
season for us to stop

thinking about ourselves and
start thinking about others.

>>You're asking me to
abandon human nature.

>>It's a requirement
of the job.

>>I don't know if I can.

>>Well Christmas is
three weeks away.

We'll worry about the gang
and they can't when we're done.

**

**

**

>>All right Dash,
time to go to bed.

We've got a lot
to do tomorrow.

**

**

>>Okay what
are we doing here?

>>People watching.

>>What are we looking for?

>>Well, who are
we looking for?

>>People in need.

>>Yeah.

>>But we already have a
stack of names of people

who need your, our help.

>>Well that's just
a small portion.

>>There's more?

>>Yup, yup.

Look around you here.

Who do you see
that needs help?

>>Him.

>>Mickey.

>>Well he's a pretty
obvious choice.

But not a bad
place to start.

>>Who else do you see?

>>I don't know.

>>Well look around.

>>Who do you see?

>>Who do you see?

>>Everyone.

>>Exactly.

See everyone carries around
a hurt of some kind.

It may not be as
obvious as Mickey here.

But everybody needs to
know that somebody cares.

>>So you just find
them by watching?

>>Mhm.

So who should we help?

Hmm?

>>Come on honey.

It's so cold.

>>But I'm hungry.

>>I know.

>>Can help them
both you know.

**

**

**

>>Mom.

Isn't this great?

>>It's wonderful.

Come on help me
get this inside.

Come on help me
get this inside.

Come on help me
get this inside.

>>So how much money do
you spend doing this?

>>Oh I don't keep track.

>>You don't keep track?

>>No, that would
defeat the purpose.

>>So all those people
I met yesterday

they're like your spies.

Your informants.

>Well, over the years I've
developed a relationship

with a number of
trustworthy people.

They are my eyes and ears.

>>And they can
keep a secret?

>>Yeah.

>>You know I'm still not
sold on this whole

"I love Christmas"
aspect of my job

but I got to admit
it's pretty cool.

>>Pretty satisfying
huh? Yeah.

Well it's been said
that if you help someone

you're the one that
benefits the most.

>>Is that why you do it?

>>It's one of the perks.

>>But it's so much money.

>>Well a good deed doesn't
have to involve money.

I mean you just have
to open your eyes.

Be aware of others.

Take Stan for example.

Do you notice something
different about him?

>>I don't know.

>>Something's off.

He's not as chipper.

>>Like what?

>>Thanks Stan.

>>His son died just about
this time last year.

>>I didn't even
know he had a son.

>>Yeah Tom was his name.

He drowned helping
someone in an accident.

>>Ashley?

>>Will.

>>I'm sorry am I late.

>>I am so sorry.
I am so sorry.

I completely forgot.

>>I guess he really made
an impression on you.

>>Our first date and you're
already seeing other men.

>>Oh this is
hardly a date.

>>I'm Will.

>>Nick. Will nice
to meet you.

>>Good to meet you.

>>Is it okay if
we reschedule?

>>No, no nonsense.

No, I'm going to
order mine to go.

Besides I got to
talk to Stan here.

Nice to meet you.

>>Good to meet you.

>>Sorry.

>>It's okay.
So how late am I?

>>Have you eaten yet?

>>No.

>>Is that Nick Anderson?

>>Yeah how'd you know?

>>I've just seen
him in some photos.

>>Really.

>>Yeah at my magazine.

>>I mean he used to be the
king of the corporate world.

And then one day he
just up and left.

I'd love to know
what he's doing now.

>>Hey how you doing.

>>I got a little
water for your here.

I'm going to take this back.

>>Thanks.

>>What can I get you?

>>Oh, um.

You know I'll have
whatever she's having.

>>Are you sure?

>>Yeah.

>>Okay I'll get that
right out to you.

I'll be right back.

>>Thanks.

>>What are we having?

>>Stan's three-alarm chili.

>>Great perfect.

>>So, what do you do?

>>I'm a personal assistant.

>>Where?

>>Just for neighbor.

>>That's cool.

>>You're a journalist?

>>Yeah.

>>No. Not really.

I'm a fact checker
at the magazine.

>>Okay here we
go, nice and hot.

Enjoy.

>>Thank you.

>>All right.

>>This looks good.

I live for this stuff.

>>Mmm, It is good.

It's not really hot
for three alarm chili.

>>Give it some time.

>>So how do you know Nick?

>>Do you want me to see if
he can have dinner with you?

>>No, I'm sorry.

It's just I get curious.

And, it's just that.

(cough, cough)
>>Holy cow this is hot. (cough)

>>You okay?

>>It's just.

How is your mouth
not burning? (cough)

>>You all right?

>>Yeah no I'm good.
It's good chili though.

>>I'm going to be honest
with you next time

I'm totally ordering
something different.

>>Three-alarm chili, you
didn't think it would be hot?

>>Good you thought you'd
object to a next time.

Maybe do something
later this week?

>>Sure.

>>Good I'd like that.

>>Oh excuse me, didn't
mean to interrupt.

>>HI Nick.

>>You guys are neighbors?

>>Yeah.

>>Ashley you work for Nick.

>>Well just some odd jobs.

It's harder for me to
get around these days.

>>Okay.

>>Excuse me.

>>Mhm.

>>Good night.

>>Good night.

>>Well thank you
again, good night.

>>Night Ashley.

>>Okay so yeah I think
that looks really good.

If we could just work
on this one part.

You bet.

>>Thanks.

>>Ashley and Nick
fit together really?

>>You know what I'm busy.

>>I'm not going to
give up on this.

>>Why do you need to know?

>>It's Nick Anderson.

He's a legend in my book
and at this magazine.

Him and Ashley are
onto something.

>>It's none of
your business.

>>Francine.

>>No, Will, please
just back off.

>>Oh you never told
me how your date went.

>>What's to tell?

We met at the dinner,
both had the chili.

He nearly burned
his face off.

We went our separate ways.

>>Yeah you going out again?

>>We don't have anything
actually set up

but probably
won't happen.

And you want it to?

>>Maybe.

>>Seems it was easier
to find someone special

when I was your age.

>>I'm sure it
was always hard.

>>Well that's true.

But with all the
distractions it's easy

to forget what's
really important.

>>Hey nick.

>>Merry Christmas, Harry.

Hope this will hold
you for a while.

>>Oh sure will.

>>Hey you stay put
it's icy out here.

We'll get it.

>>How are you?

>>How are you?

(knock, knock)
>>The Ge Story check out?

>>Yeah. That's
not why I'm here.

>>Apologizing.

>>Well if apologizing you
mean giving you a great story.

>>A great story
we'll be sued over?

>>It's inspirational.

I ran into nick Anderson.

>>The CEO of?

>>Yeah.

>>Okay.

>>He's getting into
the holiday spirit

by doing some charity work.

>>Okay not
groundbreaking but.

>>Secret charity work.

>>Let me see the story.

>>I haven't written it yet.

>>I wanted to make sure that
if I did you'd consider it.

And possibly get off
fact checking duty?

>>No promises.

>>Good.

>>Francine.

>>Yes.

>>Will's onto a story
about Nick Anderson now.

I know he's retired or
whatever but make sure

Will doesn't step on
any toes, legally.

>>Will do.

>>I can't believe how
many people need help.

>>Yeah.

>>Sacred Heart was
almost out of food.

>>Yeah well it's not
good news for a shelter,

especially this
time of here.

>>Does it happen a lot?

>>More then you think.

But they're never
completely out of food.

>>You wouldn't
let it happen?

>>No.

(beep)

>>Nick it's Francine look
I think we may have a problem.

Nothing legal everything's
set for your trust.

But one of the reporter's
here Will Price

is writing
something about you.

And I think he has inkling
about your little project.

I know you're
particular about this.

So give me a call I'll
see what I can do.

>>Oh goody.

Nick I'm so sorry.

>>Don't worry.

>>You used me.

>>Ashley.

>>You used me
to get to Nick

and now you're going
to ruin what he's doing.

>>Ruin?

This is a great story
it deserves to be seen.

>>That's not what he wants.

>>Why not?

>>I don't know.

But Nick has a right to keep
it quiet if he wants to.

>>I just put the
pieces together.

It's not as if I
sought this out.

But I'm not going
to ignore it either.

>>You didn't look
for it you sure?

>>Then why did you tell me
you were a fact checker?

You lied to me.

>>I kept things to myself.

So did you.

>>To protect
what he's doing.

>>You're acting like
this is a bad thing.

This is a great story.

It's Christmas.

I mean what better story can I
write during Christmastime?

>>It's not about Christmas.

It's about him.

Nick is the most selfless
person I have ever met.

And he trusted me
with his secret.

And now through some
sick twisted fate

you get a hold of
my cell phone.

And everything's going to
be exposed because of me.

>>Ashley wait.

>>You're a real
jerk you know that?

>>Yeah I get that a lot.

Listen if you would just
let me talk to Nick

he will understand.

>>I can't believe I
started liking you.

I really thought you
were interested in me.

>>I am interested in me.

>>You are more
interested in the story.

>>Can I not be
interested in both?

>>No.

Because if you were
interested in me

you'd see why you shouldn't
write this story.

(knocking) >>Nick.

(knocking) >>Nick.

Nick. Nick.

>>Ms. Matthews.

You're here with
Nick Anderson.

He's stable and he asked
me to come talk to you

about his condition.

Why don't we have a seat?

>>Okay.

>>His condition has become
a little bit more grave

since last time
he was here.

The cancer which has been
in remission at this point

as returned and is
starting to progress.

And it's holding up through
some his vital systems.

**

**

**

**

>>Hey I know you.

>>Nick you scared me.

>>I scared me too.
You talk to my friend?

>>Yeah, you can beat cancer
Nick people do it all the time.

>>Well I beat it
twice already.

Somehow I don't think
the third times a charm.

>>No, you can afford
the best treatment.

>>I've had the
best treatment.

>>Cancer's back,
I don't think my body's

going to fight
it this time.

>>Why didn't you tell me?

>>I didn't want
to worry you.

>>What about secret Santa?

>>It's yours.

>>What?

>>Yeah, you're
going to take over.

>>No, no,
no. I can't.

>>Yeah you can.

>>Francine has drawn
up all the documents

that you'll need
to manage it.

>>Francine, from
the magazine?

>>She's my attorney too.

>>You've been planning this.

>>I knew I had to
pass it onto someone.

You're it.

>>I don't even know
where I would start.

>>Start. You're doing it.

Huh?

By the way there's a
guy in the next room

who's having trouble
with his hospital bills

I want you to check
it out for me.

Kay?

>>Kay.

**

**

**

**

**

>>I ever tell you what I
started doing this?

You know, several years ago
I was a different person.

I was, I was real
good with money.

Great with finances.

I had a beautiful wife
who loved me very much.

I guess I didn't
know how to love her.

My true love was
chasing the dollar.

And I gave her
everything she desired.

I thought or she
wanted or needed.

Wasn't enough to
keep us happy?

And then she left.

And I was angry.

I made sure she didn't get
a dime in the settlement.

I figured I didn't need her.

A few years went by.

I was still the same.

Then I got a letter that
said she passed away.

She was the one person who
loved me in spite of who I was.

I mean I felt empty for
years but after my wife died

I felt useless, alone.

So, I quit my job
and gave away

all the stuff I didn't
think I needed.

Which was practically
everything.

And eventually I decided that
this what I should be doing.

So that's why I want you
to continue the work.

Because I don't want you to
ever feel empty or useless.

And I certainly don't
want you to feel alone.

>>Stop talking
like you're dying.

>>Denial doesn't help honey
I just want to make sure

that you're going
to be all right.

>>Nick promise me
you'll still fight.

>>Don't be afraid.

Why don't you go
get some sleep?

(knock, knock) >>Francine.

>>What?

>>You think he would
do an interview.

>>No.

>>Not even a one
on one interview.

Could be good PR.

>>He doesn't do
it for the PR.

Besides with him being in
the hospital right now.

He's got other
things on his mind.

>>Hospital?

>>I thought you knew.

Well just skew around with
whatever you're writing.

He's a good man.

(knock, knock, knock)

>>I heard about
Nick. I'm sorry.

>>Thanks.

>>So what are you up to?

>>Just working, which I
should probably get back to.

>>So, being Nick's
assistant does that mean

you have to do all the
Christmas cheer by yourself.

>>Trying not to
think about that.

>>Want some help?

>>Why so you
can spy on Nick?

>>Just help.

>>Okay.

>>Can I help you?

>>So are you we getting
an early lunch

before we start
santa-ing?

>>Nope. Eat on
your own dime.

>>What are you
we doing here?

>>I'm just making
this up as I go.

So, you'll have
to wait and see.

>>All right
your number is 34

I'll call you
when it's ready.

>>Thank you.

>>Hi may I take your order?

>>Yes can I get 50
burgers to go please?

>>50.

>>50?

>>Five zero, to go.

>>Okay 50 burgers.

Your total is 149.52.

>>Okay.

>>Here's your change.

And I'll let you know
when that's ready.

>>Thank you.

>>Here you go.

>>Thanks.

>>Thanks.

>>Oh I see.

>>Here you go.

>>Thank you.

>>You bet.

>>There you go.

Of course.

>>Thank you.

>>Uh huh.

>>Thank you.

>>Uh huh.

>>Merry Christmas.

>>Thank you.

>>Mickey.

>>How are you doing?

>>Merry Christmas.

>>Good how are you sir?

>>This is for you.

>>Thanks.

>>Later.

>>Ran out of burgers
quicker then I thought.

>>Don't worry
there's more to do.

>>Can I go get some more?

>>No. Next stop.

>>Toy store.

I forgot the big
red Santa bag.

>>Discretion is
important remember?

That's why what you're
writing is so opposite

of what Nick wants.

>>Well let me talk
to Nick myself.

See what he really wants.

>>Nice try.

>>Yes. Yes, I know.

I'm evil.

That Santa's list.

>>Uh yeah.

And you're not on it.

>>Oh, neither are you.

>>Grow up.

>>We are in a
toy store. Cute.

>>All right level with me.

Where did you get the list?

>>I wrote it based on
some helpful hints.

>>From who.

I mean is there like a whole
network of secret Santas?

>>Are you asking because
you're curious or because

you want to write about it?

>>We have way more toys
then are on that list.

>>So?

>>So what happens to
all the extra toys?

**

**

>>Being a do gooder takes
a lot of energy huh?

>>Yeah.

>>Hey can I get you
guys any dessert.

>>No thanks I've got to get
to the hospital to visit Nick.

>>Well listen I want
you to tell Nick

that I'm thinking about him
and that he's in prayers okay.

>>Mhm.

>>You guys have
a great night.

>>Thanks you too.

>>What?

>>Oh just something
Nick said.

>>About Stan?

>>Yeah he said his son died
last year around Christmas

in an accident I just can't
stop thinking about it.

>>It's got to be tough.

>>I want to do something
but I don't know what.

>>Yeah, what do you buy that
makes that pain go away right?

>>Something I can do?

>>Depends what do
you have in mind?

>>I could do some digging,
see what I find out.

>>Okay.

>>So, what do you really
do for the magazine?

>>Really do?

>>Yeah.

I know you lied about
being a reporter.

>>Okay I'm a writer.

I wrote a story recently
about a company.

My boss didn't like it.

Said I took some
stuff out of context.

>>Did you?

>>Not enough to get me
into any legal trouble.

>>Oh you must be so proud.

>>If it makes you
feel any better

I am fact checking
stories now,

part of my
punishment, whatever.

So why did
Nick pick you?

>>I don't know.

>>Liar.

>>You're the
one to talk.

>>Ouch.

>>He wants me to
be happy I guess.

Especially this
time of year.

>>You're not normally?

>>Let's just say Christmas
isn't my favorite.

>>Because?

>>Okay I don't hate
Christmas per se;

it's just a really hard time
of year for people like me.

>>People like you.

>>Okay.

I'm going to stop there
because I'm opening up

to someone I definitely
shouldn't be opening up to.

>>And the wall goes up.

>>We haven't' known
each other very long

but I think it's safe
to say you avoid people.

>>No I don't.

>>Really.

>>You only interact
with Nick and your dog.

>>That's not true.

>>It is okay to talk to
people about your feelings.

>>You don't care
about my feelings.

You just want a background
for your story.

>>You think I'm
asking about a story?

>>Aren't you Mr. I got
in trouble at work.

>>Maybe I'm asking
because we're friends.

>>We're not friends?

>>We're not.

>>No.

>>Ouch again.

>>Ashley wait a second.

I mean I know women are
supposed to be temperamental

but I think you're extreme.

>>What?

>>I got you to
stop didn't I?

>>Okay, I appreciate
your help Will.

I really do.

But I just can't seem
to shake this feeling

that this whole friendship
thing is a complete sham.

>>I volunteered to
help you remember?

I passed burgers.

I helped you buy toys.

Plus I put up with your
lovely personality.

And when I ask a simple
question why Christmas

is such a big deal you accuse
me of working an angle.

>>Because you are why
else would you be here.

>>Because I care about you.

>>No you don't.

>>Yes I do.

>>No you don't.

>>Left you speechless.

You okay?

I leave you breathless too.

>>Oh get over yourself.

>>Well this isn't going to
change anything? Right?

I'll see you tomorrow.

>>I spoke to Mrs.
Hendrix earlier today.

Is she ever going to get a
plumber to our apartment?

>>I just found out that
Mr. Hendrix had a stroke

about a moth ago and she's
hardly been to the apartment

because he's at
a care facility.

>>Really.

>>Mhm.

>>You never quit do you.

>>I ain't dead yet.

So how'd it go today?

>>Um, you know it
went pretty good.

>>Pretty good?

>>I don't know how
to tell you this

so I'm just
going to say it.

That reporter you got
a phone call about?

The one who wants to
write a story on you

and who I accidently
went out with?

>>Mhm.

>>He's helping me.

>>Well that's interesting.

>>I couldn't do it alone.

>>And he knows
how it works now.

He wants to interview you.
I'm sorry.

He wants to interview you.
I'm sorry.

Nick say something.

>>You like him don't you?

>>I do not.

>>Indeed the couple
certainly would have died

if it had not been for
the heroic efforts

of Tom Manning.

And in the end it proved
fatal for manning.

And in the end it proved
fatal for manning.

And in the end it proved
fatal for manning.

>>Hey Dash I'll take
you out in one second

but I've got
to make a call.

>>Mrs. Hendrix.

>>Yes.

>>I'll put this
in the truck.

>>So we did
everything you asked.

We fixed the problem
with the pipes.

And we replaced all
the hot water heaters.

All the plumbing seems to be
in perfect working order now.

Is there anything else
that we can do for you?

>>What?

>>I can't pay for this.

>>Oh, everything's already
been taking care of.

>>So do you want to
talk about last night?

>>Uh no.

>>Okay so who's
house is this anyways.

>>Oh it's a little girl
and her grandmother's.

I'll be right back.

>>Grandma.
What's it say?

>>Dear Rose, I'm awfully
busy this year and I wanted

to make sure I didn't
forget you and Julianne.

Toys for your granddaughter
and money for medicines.

Merry Christmas, love Santa.

>>You're smooth.

>>Of course I am.

>>You know you're better

at this secret Santa
thing than you think.

Nick he's taught you well.

>>Thanks.

>>How he doing anyway?

>>He said you
could go see him.

>>That's not what
I was getting at.

>>Sure it wasn't.

>>He said he'd talk with me?

By the way how long are
going to avoid eye contact?

>>I am not avoiding
eye contact.

>>You're avoiding
eye contact.

>>I'm not.

>>Okay.

Look me in the eye and tell
me you're not avoiding me.

>>Fine.

All right when do you
want to go see Nick?

>>I found some stuff out
about Tom, Stan's son.

>>Please tell me
its' not dirt.

>>Want to hear this or not?

>>Okay.

>>Last Christmas a car lost
control on an icy road.

Crashed into a lake.

A young married couple
was trapped inside.

Tom was driving by
jumped into the water.

You got the couple out
but he didn't make it

back to shore.

They found him a
few days later.

>>Oh Stan. How
awful for him.

>>I made a copy
of the articles

if you want to
check it out.

I thought it would
help with Stan.

>>Thanks.

>>Yeah.

>>Hey it's Will isn't it?

>>Yes. Yes.

>>Hey girl.

>>How you feeling?

>>Oh great.

Ashley would you give
us a few minutes?

>>Are you sure?

>>I can handle it.

>>Okay.

>>Have a seat will you Will?

>>Thank you.

>>Um, I'm going to record
this if you don't mind.

>>How did you
find out about me?

>>I'm a reporter.
I notice things.

>>Oh really.

>>Can I ask you
a few questions?

>>I want to ask you
a few questions.

>>Okay.

>>Where are you from?

>>Michigan.

>>Where did you
go to school?

>>Northwestern?

>>You like writing?

>>I love it.

>>You like Ashley.

>>She's a very nice girl.

>>Nice girl?
She's terrific.

>>She's a little
hard headed.

>>Who isn't?

>>Yeah I like her.

>>Let me tell you something.

She's had a very different
life from you and me.

She's has to fight
tooth and nail

for everything
she's ever achieved.

She didn't tell you about
her childhood did she?

>>When she was a
baby she was dropped

in one of those places.

She passed around
foster care homes.

One to another
like a dishrag.

She didn't have a
normal childhood.

>>Hey all she's
ever wanted

was to be loved
unconditionally.

>>That's not
easy to come by.

>>It's not impossible.

See people have
let her down.

It's hard for
her to open up.

>>Yeah. I picked
up on that.

>>Yeah. But
she likes you.

Otherwise she wouldn't have
let you in as far as she has.

>>You think so?

>>Oh yeah. Yeah.

>>To be honest
with you sometimes

she won't even
look at me.

>>You're not very intuitive
for a reporter are you?

>>The reason she won't look
at you is she's afraid

that if she
does she'll melt.

>>It's about time.

>>Yeah sorry.

>>Did you get
everything you wanted?

>>Yeah.

>>I'm going to
go check on Nick.

>>Hey, what are you doing?

>>I just want to
stretch my legs here.

>>Oh can I help.

>>No don't keep
Will waiting.

>>He can wait.

>>How long are you
going to keep him away?

>>As long as possible.

>>Hey.

If you keep waiting you're
going to miss something special.

Now you go.

If I need anything
I'll call the nurse.

>>Okay.

(ringing)

>>Yeah.

>>Hey will we
have a cover story

that we're waiting
for you check.

Preferably before
we go to press.

>>Yeah, working on it.

>>Still writing
the Nick Anderson

philanthropist story?

>>Yeah.

>>Let me see a draft
when you ready.

Before we finalize
the Christmas issue.

>>Okay will do.

>>And get that
story checked.

**

**

**

**

(ringing)

>>City information.

>>Yes hi can
I get the number

for Nina and Aaron
Walker please?

>>One moment please.

>>Thanks.

>>Nick Anderson bears a
similarity to Santa himself.

He's old. He's jolly.

And if it wasn't the fact
that he doesn't have a beard.

So he's the real deal.

(grunting)

>>That's worse.

**

**

(ringing)

>>Hello.

Uh huh.

When?

Okay.

Thank you.

**

**

(knocking)

>>Um, that's my apartment.

>>Ashley Matthews?

>>Mhm.

>>I have a letter for you.
Sign here.

Have a nice day.

>>Thanks.

>>Dear Ashley, I had a hunch
things were going south

so I thought I'd write something
before my bucket's been kicked.

First I want no flashy
funeral or any hoopla.

I'm dead.

I won't be around
to enjoy the party

so don't bother
throwing one.

Second, my attorney will
contact you about my will.

Since you're the closest
thing I've had to a family

I want you to have it all.

I hope you'll use
it to bless others.

And lastly, get
over yourself

and tell Will
you love him.

Remember the heart is
a resilient muscle.

Don't worry about
the news story.

If he prints it no biggy.

It's not like I'm going to write
an angry letter to the editor.

I'll miss you terribly
while we're apart.

But I'm not going to lie.

I hope I see my
ex wife Holly

and offer her the
biggest apology I can.

I love you. Nick.

**

**

**

>>Hey.

>>It's okay.

>>How is it okay?

>>It's not.
Just something people say.

I think I can guess
how you're holding up.

>>Why are you here?

>>Thought I could bring
you some Christmas cheer.

>>I've never hated
Christmas more.

>>Well I think it's
time we change that.

>>Sledding?

>>Yup.

>>Why?

>>Well Nick said you didn't
have a very normal childhood so.

>>So you thought sledding?

>>Have you ever been?

>>No.

>>Stop complaining
and hop on.

(singing)

>>Is this thing safe?

>>Of course.
You ready?

>>No.

>>Good.

(screaming)

>>Are you okay?

>>Yeah. Can we do that again?

>>Well if you're up to it.

I'm going to make
this thing go faster.

(singing)

>>And everyone's louder
about material things

that don't matter.

AT least not to me.

If I could have just one
thing for this year.

It would be to cry out all
those tears and all the pain.

That we've endured
in the past.

Because it's the
future we can change.

If we try to rearrange
the way we live.

And maybe give.

A little more.

I hope there's
someone listening.

Because I can
only sing so loud.

>>Great now I'm all cold.

>>You're welcome.

>>Thank you.

>>Warm yet?

>>Yeah much better.

>>Hey how about a
little pie on the house.

>>There you go.

>>You and one for you.

>>Stan you don't
need to do that.

>>Oh please.

>>Thank you.

>>So how are you?

>>Oh good enough.

It's a little lonely a
round this time of the year

without Nick now.

And my son Tom.

Did you ever get a chance
to meet my son Tom?

>>No, but Nick said some
really great things about him.

>>Nick's pretty
good about that.

>>Yeah Tom had a
lot of potential.

Got a chance to go to
Harvard business school

on a scholarship.

He graduated.

Had a job lined up.

Hey listen, I'm
going down that row.

You guys enjoy
your pie okay.

Have a nice night.

>>Thank you.

>>I found the Walkers.

>>The couple Tom saved?

>>They sent me a letter
to give to Stan.

>>Really?

>>Mhm.

>>Why?

What did it say?

>>Well I didn't read it.

But I bet thank you
was in there somewhere.

>>Yeah but what do you say
to the father of the guy

who died saving
your life.

>>Yeah.

>>I think it was
really hard for them.

>>So where's the letter.

>>Right over there
by the register.

>>They had a baby.
And they named him Tom.

>>Santa like that.

>>Thank you for finding the
article in the first place.

>>It was nothing.

>>So when does your
story come out?

>>Christmas week
with any luck.

>>Just so you know Nick was
okay with you writing something.

>>He was?

>>Yeah.

I mean in the big scheme
of things its just words.

And he had a lot
on his mind.

>>He was a good man.

>>Yeah.

>>So, any plans
for Christmas.

>>No.

>>Want to
do something?

>>No, it's okay I
don't want to take you

away from Christmas.

Besides I've got some
last minute things to do.

>>It's not even my birthday.

>>These aren't for you.

>>I'm shocked.

You have that story ready?

>>Sort of.

>>Deadlines coming up I
thought you wanted to prove

you deserve to write again.

>>I just had to make a
few last minute changes.

>>You at least got a
draft I can look at?

It's not what
I expected.

I'll let you know.

>>Thanks.

>>Oh.

And try to make sure this
one won't give Francine

any more headaches.

>>Yeah.

>>Ohh, flowers
who are they from?

>>I don't know.

Let's see.

>>All right Dash I
know it's Christmas

Even but I won't be long.

>>Aw you shouldn't have.

>>What are you doing here?

>>I thought I'd spend
Christmas Eve with you

if that's all right.

>>Okay, well I'm
on my way out.

>>Where to?

>>I will show you.

>>Who does this go to?

I thought you guys already
covered everyone I gave you.

>>It's for you.
Merry Christmas.

>>Merry Christmas.
Thank you.

You didn't have to.

>>We couldn't have
done it without you.

>>Merry Christmas.

>>Well thank you Merry
Christmas to you.

>>Merry Christmas.

>>Thanks for coming by.

>>I have to admit
that was pretty cool.

I never thought
about it before

but I mean Elves
deserve presents too.

>>Yeah Nick taught me that
everyone needs something.

>>Including you.

>>What's this?

>>Oh. Christmas present.

I can't wrap.

But it's what's
inside that counts.

>>Thank you.

>>You survived your first
Christmas as secret Santa.

Yeah first and last
for the secret part.

>>Yeah. About that.
I wanted to apologize.

>>No don't.

I should
apologize actually.

>>For what?

>>For how I've
been treating you.

You've helped me so much and
no matter what you've done

even writing that story.

Thank you.

>>You're welcome.

>>Open it.

>>Okay.

>>Merry Christmas.

>>What's this?

>>It's all my secret
Santa tapes and notes.

I didn't submit
the article.

>>What?

>>I knew it was going
to be harder for you.

And you were right.

Nick wouldn't
have wanted that.

As we've been doing
this project of his.

I realized that Nick wasn't
just a secret Santa he was,

he was more of an angel.

Christmas Angel.

And being an angel isn't
about the recognition

or getting the glory.

It's about helping others.

>>But, I thought you
were writing something?

**

**

**

**

>>One Christmas down.

Yeah and who knows
how many to go huh?

>>You ever think
you'll get bored of it?

>>Nah, it'll
keep me too busy.

>>You know I
was an elf once?

>>Yeah when I was 16 I
was short for my age.

And my mom needed help
with her Santa display. So.

>>You were not an elf.

>>All right I might have
stretched the truth there a bit.

The point is, I can help,
you know next year.

>>How do you know
what you'll be doing?

I mean you might be covering
some big breaking news story.

>>I can make myself
available if you want me to.

>>Just Christmas.

I don't get to
see you till then.

>>No that is not
going to work either.

I mean the way I see
it Christmas, crucial.

But people need help the
rest of the year too.

>>You know I think
I can handle it.

Then again those presents
get really heavy.

>>Merry Christmas.

>>Merry Christmas.

**

>>It's your turn.

>>I took him for
a walk yesterday.

>>Mhm.

>>Then why are
you getting up?

>>Guilt.

>>Okay I'll go with you.

>>You know we both
don't have to take him.

>>OH I know.

But I want to see the
Christmas decorations.

They're going up
early this year.

>>I thought you
hated that stuff.

>>Not anymore.

>>Come on, come on, come on.

>>Come on dash.

We have a lot to do today.

>>Ready.

>>All right let's get going.

>>Come on, come.
