Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:08,550 --> 00:00:11,590
Sorhagen Palace
was first built in 1536
2
00:00:11,630 --> 00:00:14,130
and later renovated
in the 18th century.
3
00:00:14,180 --> 00:00:16,340
And ever since then,
there's been a royal decree
4
00:00:16,390 --> 00:00:18,640
for the grounds to be decorated
every Christmas.
5
00:00:18,680 --> 00:00:20,720
As you can see,
everything from our ornaments
6
00:00:20,770 --> 00:00:22,230
to our silver bells
7
00:00:22,270 --> 00:00:24,480
tell a story
of the legacies of the Counts
8
00:00:24,520 --> 00:00:26,480
who once called
Sorhagen Palace home.
9
00:00:26,520 --> 00:00:28,820
-Is Count Lars
actually living here now?
10
00:00:28,860 --> 00:00:30,530
Will we get to see him
on this tour?
11
00:00:30,570 --> 00:00:33,110
Or is it true that he hasn't
made a public appearance
12
00:00:33,150 --> 00:00:34,700
since he was a teenager?
13
00:00:34,740 --> 00:00:37,030
-Uh, the current Count prefers
to work behind the scenes.
14
00:00:37,070 --> 00:00:39,120
Now, the original
stone was forged--
15
00:00:39,160 --> 00:00:40,490
-Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait!
16
00:00:40,540 --> 00:00:42,200
Is it true he doesn't
show his face
17
00:00:42,250 --> 00:00:43,620
because he lost his nose
bullfighting?
18
00:00:43,660 --> 00:00:45,170
19
00:00:45,210 --> 00:00:48,590
-The Count's nose, I assure you,
is very well intact,
20
00:00:48,630 --> 00:00:50,750
and you should not believe
the conspiracy theories
21
00:00:50,800 --> 00:00:52,210
that you read at gossip sites.
22
00:00:52,260 --> 00:00:54,220
-Ah, you all are in luck today.
23
00:00:54,260 --> 00:00:56,550
This is Sir Gustus,
the Count's Royal Advisor.
24
00:00:56,590 --> 00:00:59,470
-Ah! So you can tell us
if the Count is actually here?
25
00:00:59,510 --> 00:01:02,140
I mean, it's the only reason
why we came on the tour, anyway.
26
00:01:02,180 --> 00:01:02,970
- Right, guys?
-
27
00:01:03,020 --> 00:01:04,350
-On behalf of Count Lars,
28
00:01:04,390 --> 00:01:06,230
we are so happy
you chose to spend the day
29
00:01:06,270 --> 00:01:08,020
visiting Sorhagen Palace.
30
00:01:08,060 --> 00:01:09,520
We hope you stay the month
31
00:01:09,560 --> 00:01:12,570
as Christmastime here
is always magical
32
00:01:12,610 --> 00:01:15,610
and the town's festivities
are open to all.
33
00:01:15,650 --> 00:01:17,160
34
00:01:17,200 --> 00:01:19,740
A word?
35
00:01:19,780 --> 00:01:21,240
-Just one moment.
36
00:01:21,280 --> 00:01:23,580
I don't think we're
seeing the Count today...
37
00:01:25,460 --> 00:01:28,380
-Remember, the less Count talk,
the better.
38
00:01:28,420 --> 00:01:29,750
-I know.
39
00:01:29,790 --> 00:01:31,750
I'm sorry, sir, I'm trying.
They just keep asking.
40
00:01:31,800 --> 00:01:33,800
-Only three today?
41
00:01:33,840 --> 00:01:36,420
-The most we've had
this month.
42
00:01:36,470 --> 00:01:40,010
Do you think if he made
one quick appearance,
43
00:01:40,050 --> 00:01:41,760
we'd get more sign-ups?
44
00:01:41,810 --> 00:01:43,470
-Remember to highlight
45
00:01:43,520 --> 00:01:45,930
that the oldest Christmas lights
in Northern Europe
46
00:01:45,980 --> 00:01:48,520
hang in our library.
47
00:01:48,560 --> 00:01:50,270
-Yes, sir.
48
00:01:50,310 --> 00:01:53,230
*
49
00:01:53,270 --> 00:01:56,280
*
50
00:01:56,320 --> 00:01:59,450
*
51
00:01:59,490 --> 00:02:02,450
*
52
00:02:02,490 --> 00:02:05,790
*
53
00:02:05,830 --> 00:02:08,000
*
54
00:02:08,040 --> 00:02:09,330
Come on, somebody!
55
00:02:09,370 --> 00:02:11,460
Give me something,
something for the ladies!
56
00:02:11,500 --> 00:02:12,540
-Oh!
-Yeah?
57
00:02:12,590 --> 00:02:14,170
The Queen
and the Duchess of Doverly
58
00:02:14,210 --> 00:02:16,460
showed up wearing the same dress
to the Royal Banquet.
59
00:02:16,510 --> 00:02:20,050
-"Fuel to the fire of the feud."
Yeah, what else?
60
00:02:20,090 --> 00:02:21,850
-Ooh, uh, there's
a rumour going around
61
00:02:21,890 --> 00:02:24,510
that the Prince of Bulgaria
invested his entire trust
62
00:02:24,560 --> 00:02:26,100
in his girlfriend's nightclub.
63
00:02:26,140 --> 00:02:27,350
-Yeah, we can work with that.
64
00:02:27,390 --> 00:02:30,060
Something like
"Party prince pays the price."
65
00:02:30,100 --> 00:02:31,270
Jot that down;
I'm not gonna remember.
66
00:02:31,310 --> 00:02:33,110
Come on.
What else?
67
00:02:33,150 --> 00:02:35,480
-Um, so apparently,
the Earl of Greyson
68
00:02:35,530 --> 00:02:37,360
fathered an illegitimate child
in his late teens
69
00:02:37,400 --> 00:02:38,650
and he's spending this Christmas
70
00:02:38,700 --> 00:02:40,450
with the family
in the Swiss Alps!
71
00:02:40,490 --> 00:02:43,030
-Bingo!
That's what I'm talking about!
72
00:02:43,070 --> 00:02:44,200
-The irony, of course,
73
00:02:44,240 --> 00:02:45,700
being that his
great-great-grandfather,
74
00:02:45,740 --> 00:02:47,910
the Earl in 1885,
secretly fathered a baby
75
00:02:47,950 --> 00:02:48,830
with the-- what?
-Oh, oh....
76
00:02:48,870 --> 00:02:50,170
I'm falling asleep.
77
00:02:50,210 --> 00:02:51,620
-What, why?
That's a good story.
78
00:02:51,670 --> 00:02:53,040
-No, it's so boring.
79
00:02:53,080 --> 00:02:54,500
Skip the history lesson,
alright?
80
00:02:54,540 --> 00:02:57,880
This is RGE,
Royal Gossip Entertainment.
81
00:02:57,920 --> 00:02:59,470
We stick to the now scandal.
82
00:02:59,510 --> 00:03:02,340
Let's get to it, people!
Time is money!
83
00:03:02,390 --> 00:03:04,180
-Um...
Hey, Tony?
84
00:03:04,220 --> 00:03:05,720
Can I speak to you for a second?
85
00:03:05,760 --> 00:03:07,720
-Yeah, I always
have a second for you.
86
00:03:07,770 --> 00:03:09,890
Is this about your story about
the Baron's botched tattoo?
87
00:03:09,930 --> 00:03:11,350
I trust your sources, yeah?
88
00:03:11,390 --> 00:03:12,730
-No, no, no,
it's nothing like that.
89
00:03:12,770 --> 00:03:14,900
It's, um...
90
00:03:14,940 --> 00:03:17,110
Okay, so next month
91
00:03:17,150 --> 00:03:18,820
will be my five-year anniversary
working here.
92
00:03:18,860 --> 00:03:20,530
-And we've been loving
every second of it, yeah.
93
00:03:20,570 --> 00:03:22,030
-Thanks!
94
00:03:22,070 --> 00:03:23,570
And you could say I've published
some pretty major stories
95
00:03:23,620 --> 00:03:24,910
in that time.
-Some of the best!
96
00:03:24,950 --> 00:03:26,200
-Good, yeah.
97
00:03:26,240 --> 00:03:29,450
I was hoping
I could ask for a raise.
98
00:03:29,500 --> 00:03:30,710
-Oh!
99
00:03:30,750 --> 00:03:32,370
A raise, yeah...
100
00:03:32,420 --> 00:03:34,880
Now's not really
a good time, Charlotte.
101
00:03:34,920 --> 00:03:36,290
Sorry.
I mean...
102
00:03:36,340 --> 00:03:37,960
you see how it is
around here--
103
00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:39,590
they barely have enough
to pay me.
104
00:03:39,630 --> 00:03:42,090
But I'm really looking forward
to your piece on the Earl.
105
00:03:42,130 --> 00:03:44,010
Yeah?
106
00:03:44,050 --> 00:03:45,510
-Oh.
107
00:03:47,350 --> 00:03:49,100
-Yeah, we're done.
-Oh.
108
00:03:49,140 --> 00:03:50,480
-Yeah.
-Oh... okay.
109
00:03:50,520 --> 00:03:53,940
*
110
00:03:53,980 --> 00:03:56,730
*
111
00:03:56,770 --> 00:03:58,230
Ugh...
112
00:03:58,270 --> 00:04:02,070
-Guessing it didn't go well?
113
00:04:02,110 --> 00:04:03,740
You could always
threaten to leave.
114
00:04:03,780 --> 00:04:05,410
He knows you're an asset.
115
00:04:05,450 --> 00:04:07,410
-It's just my visa
is up next month,
116
00:04:07,450 --> 00:04:09,700
and if he calls my bluff I have
to either leave the country
117
00:04:09,740 --> 00:04:11,500
or find another job.
118
00:04:11,540 --> 00:04:13,540
And let's be serious,
it's not like any credible
119
00:04:13,580 --> 00:04:15,130
news organization
like Monarch Insider
120
00:04:15,170 --> 00:04:17,750
is gonna hire me
after working here.
121
00:04:17,790 --> 00:04:20,590
-Well, you're always welcome
to crash at my flat.
122
00:04:20,630 --> 00:04:22,420
-Thanks.
That's really kind of you.
123
00:04:22,470 --> 00:04:23,930
-I don't know
how you're managing
124
00:04:23,970 --> 00:04:25,430
ever since your ex moved out.
125
00:04:25,470 --> 00:04:28,390
-I actually had to dip
into my savings this month.
126
00:04:28,430 --> 00:04:30,850
-Offer still stands.
127
00:04:30,890 --> 00:04:32,020
-Thank you.
128
00:04:32,060 --> 00:04:33,600
I'll keep that in mind.
129
00:04:33,640 --> 00:04:35,770
*
130
00:04:35,810 --> 00:04:38,110
*
131
00:04:38,150 --> 00:04:40,780
*
132
00:04:40,820 --> 00:04:42,150
Adam?
133
00:04:42,190 --> 00:04:44,030
Adam Pederson?
134
00:04:44,070 --> 00:04:45,360
-Jensen!
135
00:04:45,410 --> 00:04:48,280
-Oh!
-Oh!
136
00:04:48,320 --> 00:04:49,740
I was hoping I'd see you today.
137
00:04:49,780 --> 00:04:51,580
-I heard you were back in town!
-Ah!
138
00:04:51,620 --> 00:04:54,410
-Wow!
You look so different.
139
00:04:54,460 --> 00:04:57,880
No beard and you've
really slimmed down.
140
00:04:57,920 --> 00:05:00,670
-Oh, it's all that backpacking.
-Ah, yes, that's right!
141
00:05:00,710 --> 00:05:02,170
You've been all over the world.
142
00:05:02,210 --> 00:05:04,800
-Seven countries in ten years.
143
00:05:04,840 --> 00:05:07,010
-Never in one spot
for too long, then?
144
00:05:07,050 --> 00:05:09,220
-No, still looking
for that one job
145
00:05:09,260 --> 00:05:11,560
or that one place
that makes me happy.
146
00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:13,180
-And now?
147
00:05:13,220 --> 00:05:15,350
Back following
in the old man's footsteps?
148
00:05:15,390 --> 00:05:17,770
-Oh, well, no,
just here for Christmas.
149
00:05:17,810 --> 00:05:21,230
You know, saving some money
until the next adventure.
150
00:05:21,270 --> 00:05:23,690
Hey, how have you been?
151
00:05:23,740 --> 00:05:26,780
*
152
00:05:26,820 --> 00:05:28,570
Who's that?
153
00:05:28,620 --> 00:05:31,660
-Well, a new volunteer
tour guide.
154
00:05:31,700 --> 00:05:33,870
Trina's niece.
155
00:05:33,910 --> 00:05:35,540
She's quite something!
156
00:05:35,580 --> 00:05:37,170
-Have you asked her out yet?
157
00:05:37,210 --> 00:05:39,460
- You've been gone too long,
158
00:05:39,500 --> 00:05:41,630
thinking I'm in that league.
159
00:05:41,670 --> 00:05:43,880
Anyway,
better get back to work.
160
00:05:43,920 --> 00:05:47,050
Catch up later?
-Definitely. See you.
161
00:05:47,090 --> 00:05:48,220
And, Jensen?
162
00:05:48,260 --> 00:05:49,510
-Yeah?
163
00:05:49,550 --> 00:05:51,390
-Remember, there are no leagues.
164
00:05:51,430 --> 00:05:55,390
- You've seen where we work,
right?
165
00:05:58,900 --> 00:06:00,810
Oh!
166
00:06:00,860 --> 00:06:03,820
*
167
00:06:03,860 --> 00:06:07,070
*
168
00:06:07,110 --> 00:06:10,070
*
169
00:06:10,120 --> 00:06:13,740
*
170
00:06:13,790 --> 00:06:16,870
*
171
00:06:20,580 --> 00:06:22,920
Do you think I could
pull off an ascot?
172
00:06:22,960 --> 00:06:25,800
-Um... it feels very
formal for the office.
173
00:06:25,840 --> 00:06:26,880
-Really?
174
00:06:26,920 --> 00:06:28,760
-Yeah, I think maybe
not the most--
175
00:06:28,800 --> 00:06:31,550
-Oh, you're here.
176
00:06:31,590 --> 00:06:33,350
- Unfortunately,
the Count of Sorhagen
177
00:06:33,390 --> 00:06:34,720
could not be here in person
178
00:06:34,760 --> 00:06:36,810
to drop off
the royal toy donation
179
00:06:36,850 --> 00:06:38,890
for the Nordin
Children's Group,
180
00:06:38,940 --> 00:06:42,560
but would like to wish
all the children
181
00:06:42,610 --> 00:06:44,900
who will be receiving
these gifts,
182
00:06:44,940 --> 00:06:48,570
a very merry Christmas.
183
00:06:48,610 --> 00:06:50,780
-Why can't they just
admit the guy's a flake?
184
00:06:50,820 --> 00:06:53,620
He's probably out partying
on some yacht somewhere.
185
00:06:53,660 --> 00:06:56,660
-I heard he has some weird skin
rash that they can't figure out.
186
00:06:56,700 --> 00:06:59,370
-Eww, please!
Thank you.
187
00:06:59,410 --> 00:07:00,750
Whatever the reason,
188
00:07:00,790 --> 00:07:03,080
an interview with him
would be a gold mine.
189
00:07:03,130 --> 00:07:06,090
-Uh, would that gold mine
include covering my raise?
190
00:07:06,130 --> 00:07:09,050
- Right!
191
00:07:09,090 --> 00:07:11,800
Because although
every news source in Europe,
192
00:07:11,840 --> 00:07:13,510
including the Monarch Insider,
193
00:07:13,550 --> 00:07:15,470
has tried to get
an interview with the guy,
194
00:07:15,510 --> 00:07:17,430
he's going to give you,
a tabloid columnist,
195
00:07:17,470 --> 00:07:19,140
the time of day?
196
00:07:19,180 --> 00:07:22,770
-I got the Princess of Gibraltar
to admit she laundered money.
197
00:07:22,810 --> 00:07:25,940
I found the Marquis of San
Marino's lover's home address.
198
00:07:25,980 --> 00:07:28,440
I'm pretty sure I can ask
a dodgy Count a few questions.
199
00:07:28,490 --> 00:07:30,780
-Alright, yes.
If you can land an interview
200
00:07:30,820 --> 00:07:33,240
with the Count of Sorhagen,
I'll give you a raise.
201
00:07:33,280 --> 00:07:34,660
-Could...
202
00:07:34,700 --> 00:07:37,580
could I...
could I get that in writing?
203
00:07:37,620 --> 00:07:39,790
-Where would you even start?
204
00:07:39,830 --> 00:07:42,620
-Well, Sorhagen Palace throws
a Yuletide Ball every Christmas,
205
00:07:42,670 --> 00:07:44,170
and tradition
calls for the Count
206
00:07:44,210 --> 00:07:45,880
to oversee all the aspects.
207
00:07:45,920 --> 00:07:48,670
-He hasn't been seen at the ball
since he was bestowed the title.
208
00:07:48,710 --> 00:07:50,300
He hasn't been seen by anyone,
209
00:07:50,340 --> 00:07:51,800
anywhere,
since he was a teenager!
210
00:07:51,840 --> 00:07:53,430
-Well, it doesn't mean
he hasn't been there.
211
00:07:53,470 --> 00:07:54,840
-Ugh!
212
00:07:54,890 --> 00:07:57,260
-Could you imagine
if I land the first interview
213
00:07:57,310 --> 00:07:58,770
or get the first picture?
214
00:07:58,810 --> 00:08:01,230
RGE would go from
a small-time gossip site
215
00:08:01,270 --> 00:08:05,560
to the biggest name
in royal news.
216
00:08:05,610 --> 00:08:09,480
-Alright, I give you my blessing
to attempt an interview
217
00:08:09,530 --> 00:08:11,240
with the Count of Sorhagen.
218
00:08:11,280 --> 00:08:14,360
But if for one second
it feels like a lost cause,
219
00:08:14,410 --> 00:08:15,990
I want you back here
straight away.
220
00:08:16,030 --> 00:08:17,160
-Got it.
221
00:08:17,200 --> 00:08:18,450
I'm gonna go book my flight.
222
00:08:18,490 --> 00:08:19,580
-Alright.
-Okay.
223
00:08:19,620 --> 00:08:21,000
-Economy!
-Yes.
224
00:08:21,040 --> 00:08:22,160
-Yes?
-Yes!
225
00:08:24,620 --> 00:08:26,330
Are you sure
you're not gonna be lonely
226
00:08:26,380 --> 00:08:27,460
at Christmas, huh?
227
00:08:27,500 --> 00:08:28,670
-I think I'm good.
228
00:08:28,710 --> 00:08:30,800
Plus, I got
my career to focus on.
229
00:08:30,840 --> 00:08:33,630
This profile with the Count
is a huge opportunity for me.
230
00:08:33,680 --> 00:08:36,390
-I always thought that
RGE was more of a job,
231
00:08:36,430 --> 00:08:38,390
and not necessarily
a career for you.
232
00:08:38,430 --> 00:08:40,060
-Well, turns out I'm good at it.
233
00:08:40,100 --> 00:08:42,640
And it pays for
this apartment... sort of.
234
00:08:42,680 --> 00:08:44,350
-If you run out of money,
235
00:08:44,390 --> 00:08:46,350
you can always come home, huh?
236
00:08:46,400 --> 00:08:49,770
And there's always room for you
at the insurance firm, too.
237
00:08:49,820 --> 00:08:51,940
Stability can be a good thing.
238
00:08:51,990 --> 00:08:54,740
And, uh, Milwaukee's
a lot more affordable
239
00:08:54,780 --> 00:08:55,950
than London, huh?
240
00:08:55,990 --> 00:08:57,870
-I'll, uh,
I'll keep that in mind!
241
00:08:57,910 --> 00:08:59,910
Listen, Dad, I gotta go,
but I love you.
242
00:08:59,950 --> 00:09:01,450
-Love you, too.
243
00:09:01,490 --> 00:09:02,700
Enjoy the North Pole.
244
00:09:02,750 --> 00:09:03,960
-Sorhagen, Nordin.
245
00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:05,540
Same thing!
246
00:09:05,580 --> 00:09:07,830
-Okay, bye!
247
00:09:14,970 --> 00:09:18,050
*
248
00:09:18,090 --> 00:09:21,140
*
249
00:09:21,180 --> 00:09:24,310
*
250
00:09:24,350 --> 00:09:27,350
*
251
00:09:27,400 --> 00:09:30,690
*
252
00:09:30,730 --> 00:09:33,820
*
253
00:09:33,860 --> 00:09:37,240
*
254
00:09:37,280 --> 00:09:41,700
*
255
00:09:48,420 --> 00:09:51,090
*
256
00:09:51,130 --> 00:09:53,210
*
257
00:09:53,250 --> 00:09:55,420
Hello?
258
00:09:55,470 --> 00:09:57,720
-Oh, welcome, welcome!
259
00:09:57,760 --> 00:10:00,300
I wasn't expecting anyone,
but so glad to have you.
260
00:10:00,350 --> 00:10:01,720
-Oh, thanks!
261
00:10:01,760 --> 00:10:04,020
-Oh, peppermint square?
-Oh, yum!
262
00:10:04,060 --> 00:10:05,390
Thank you.
263
00:10:05,430 --> 00:10:08,100
Sorry it's so late.
It's kind of a last-minute trip.
264
00:10:08,140 --> 00:10:10,560
But the cab driver said
this was the best place to stay.
265
00:10:10,610 --> 00:10:12,520
-That it is!
-Mmm!
266
00:10:12,570 --> 00:10:15,320
-I'm Trina.
Welcome to Sorhagen.
267
00:10:15,360 --> 00:10:16,650
What brings you to our town?
268
00:10:16,700 --> 00:10:18,320
-The Sorhagen Palace.
I'm a journalist.
269
00:10:18,360 --> 00:10:19,780
-Oh!
270
00:10:19,820 --> 00:10:22,280
Hopefully not from one
of those nosey tabloids?
271
00:10:22,330 --> 00:10:24,330
-No, I'm, um...
272
00:10:24,370 --> 00:10:26,120
I'm from, uh, Monarch Insider.
273
00:10:26,160 --> 00:10:27,460
-Monarch Insider?
274
00:10:27,500 --> 00:10:28,710
Ooh!
275
00:10:28,750 --> 00:10:30,960
A proper journalist?
276
00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:33,960
You know, my niece
just got a volunteer job
277
00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:35,800
giving tours at the palace.
278
00:10:35,840 --> 00:10:37,130
-Has she seen the Count?
279
00:10:37,170 --> 00:10:38,260
-She says she has.
280
00:10:38,300 --> 00:10:40,300
-Okay, how do I
sign up for this tour?
281
00:10:40,340 --> 00:10:44,260
*
282
00:10:44,310 --> 00:10:45,180
Morning, Mother.
283
00:10:45,220 --> 00:10:46,350
-Oh!
284
00:10:46,390 --> 00:10:47,810
-Mm-mm, mm.
285
00:10:47,850 --> 00:10:49,940
Here, let me help you.
Come down, come on.
286
00:10:49,980 --> 00:10:52,060
-Oh, thank you.
Oh, whoops!
287
00:10:53,360 --> 00:10:54,690
Ah.
288
00:10:54,730 --> 00:10:56,440
-You alright?
-Yeah.
289
00:10:59,280 --> 00:11:00,990
-Hmm, smells fresh.
290
00:11:01,030 --> 00:11:03,320
-You know your dad
would roll over in his grave
291
00:11:03,370 --> 00:11:05,450
if I ever put up fake garland.
292
00:11:05,490 --> 00:11:07,000
-That he would.
293
00:11:07,040 --> 00:11:09,250
-It is so good
getting to see you here
294
00:11:09,290 --> 00:11:11,960
and not having to visit you
on a mountain top in Zermatt
295
00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:14,420
or take a speed boat
to Rathlin Island.
296
00:11:14,460 --> 00:11:16,170
-Ah, it's nice to be home, too.
297
00:11:16,210 --> 00:11:18,720
-Hmm, you know,
you can stay longer this time.
298
00:11:18,760 --> 00:11:21,010
You don't have to
dart off after the holidays.
299
00:11:21,050 --> 00:11:24,220
-I know, but I got the job in
the reindeer ranch in Finland.
300
00:11:24,260 --> 00:11:25,760
-Oh!
301
00:11:25,810 --> 00:11:27,560
-Free room and board
and no long-term contract.
302
00:11:27,600 --> 00:11:29,560
Perfect.
303
00:11:29,600 --> 00:11:31,310
-Well, while you're
waiting to hear about
304
00:11:31,350 --> 00:11:34,020
yet another job
with little to no future,
305
00:11:34,060 --> 00:11:36,780
just think how nice it is
to have a mother willing
306
00:11:36,820 --> 00:11:38,650
to do her grown son's laundry.
307
00:11:38,690 --> 00:11:41,740
-That alone might
actually get me to stay.
308
00:11:41,780 --> 00:11:42,700
309
00:11:42,740 --> 00:11:43,780
Oh...
310
00:11:45,450 --> 00:11:47,290
What's this?
311
00:11:47,330 --> 00:11:50,540
-Oh, yes, I found
that outside the palace.
312
00:11:50,580 --> 00:11:51,920
Yeah, I've been
meaning to return it.
313
00:11:51,960 --> 00:11:52,960
-Adam!
314
00:11:53,000 --> 00:11:55,540
This has
the Count's crest on it.
315
00:11:55,590 --> 00:11:57,340
This is the Count's medallion!
316
00:11:57,380 --> 00:11:58,630
-Really?
317
00:11:58,670 --> 00:12:00,720
Well... what was it
doing on the ground?
318
00:12:00,760 --> 00:12:02,510
-You need to return
this right away.
319
00:12:02,550 --> 00:12:03,760
The last thing you want
320
00:12:03,800 --> 00:12:05,890
is for someone to
think you stole that!
321
00:12:05,930 --> 00:12:08,010
-Stole--?
No, that's a good point.
322
00:12:08,060 --> 00:12:09,720
I'm going to do it.
-Ah, ah, no--
323
00:12:09,770 --> 00:12:11,430
Don't go to the palace
like that!
324
00:12:11,480 --> 00:12:12,560
I didn't iron that--
325
00:12:12,600 --> 00:12:13,980
-Thanks, Ma!
326
00:12:14,020 --> 00:12:16,900
*
327
00:12:16,940 --> 00:12:21,820
If you'll follow me,
up ahead we have the library.
328
00:12:21,860 --> 00:12:24,280
We can see
the oldest Christmas lights
329
00:12:24,320 --> 00:12:26,950
in all of Northern Europe.
330
00:12:28,240 --> 00:12:29,240
331
00:12:29,290 --> 00:12:31,620
*
332
00:12:31,660 --> 00:12:33,120
Ah, Pederson!
333
00:12:33,160 --> 00:12:35,790
-Jensen, have you
seen the staff manager?
334
00:12:35,830 --> 00:12:37,750
-He was just in
the drawing room, why?
335
00:12:37,790 --> 00:12:38,920
-Huh...
336
00:12:38,960 --> 00:12:40,670
Oh, just returning
something I found.
337
00:12:40,710 --> 00:12:42,550
I'll... I'll go find him.
338
00:12:42,590 --> 00:12:43,590
Thanks.
339
00:12:43,630 --> 00:12:44,930
-Ah-ah-ah!
340
00:12:44,970 --> 00:12:46,850
The drawing room is...
341
00:12:46,890 --> 00:12:49,220
that-a-way.
342
00:12:49,260 --> 00:12:50,890
-Copy that.
343
00:12:50,930 --> 00:12:52,770
*
344
00:12:52,810 --> 00:12:54,600
Hel...lo?
345
00:12:54,640 --> 00:12:58,610
*
346
00:12:58,650 --> 00:13:03,030
*
347
00:13:03,070 --> 00:13:06,360
*
348
00:13:06,410 --> 00:13:08,910
*
349
00:13:08,950 --> 00:13:11,290
*
350
00:13:28,010 --> 00:13:32,180
351
00:13:32,220 --> 00:13:38,190
*
352
00:13:38,230 --> 00:13:44,190
*
353
00:13:44,240 --> 00:13:49,200
*
354
00:13:49,240 --> 00:13:54,830
*
355
00:13:54,870 --> 00:13:55,960
Your Grace?
356
00:13:56,000 --> 00:13:57,330
--Oh!
357
00:13:57,370 --> 00:13:59,040
Uh, sorry,
I shouldn't be in here, uh...
358
00:13:59,080 --> 00:14:00,710
-No, no, no.
Wait, wait, wait, hold on!
359
00:14:00,750 --> 00:14:02,800
If I could just have
a moment of your time...
360
00:14:02,840 --> 00:14:04,010
361
00:14:09,300 --> 00:14:11,050
Your royal
medallion...
362
00:14:12,560 --> 00:14:14,770
It is you.
363
00:14:14,810 --> 00:14:17,350
I'm Charlotte Collins
and I write for...
364
00:14:17,390 --> 00:14:20,650
Monarch Insider, and I would
love to interview you.
365
00:14:22,230 --> 00:14:24,030
Though, I, um...
366
00:14:24,070 --> 00:14:26,240
never thought a Count
would be dressed so casually.
367
00:14:26,280 --> 00:14:28,860
At least have an ironed shirt.
368
00:14:28,910 --> 00:14:32,530
-So, um...
let me just get this straight.
369
00:14:32,580 --> 00:14:35,870
You think the best way to get
a private interview with me,
370
00:14:35,910 --> 00:14:39,620
the Count of Sorhagen,
is to insult my clothes?
371
00:14:41,420 --> 00:14:44,460
What in the King's
name is going on in here?
372
00:14:44,500 --> 00:14:46,050
This area is off limits
to the public!
373
00:14:46,090 --> 00:14:48,090
-Um, Sir Gustus, is it?
374
00:14:48,130 --> 00:14:50,890
Hi, I'm Charlotte Collins
and I write for Monarch Insider,
375
00:14:50,930 --> 00:14:53,260
and I would just
really love to speak
376
00:14:53,300 --> 00:14:54,970
to the Count for a few minutes.
377
00:14:55,020 --> 00:14:56,560
-The... the Count?
378
00:14:56,600 --> 00:14:58,850
-Look, I know you want
to keep a low profile,
379
00:14:58,890 --> 00:15:00,650
I totally get that,
but people have questions.
380
00:15:00,690 --> 00:15:02,560
They want to know you.
381
00:15:02,610 --> 00:15:04,860
-If you don't leave at once,
I'm calling security.
382
00:15:04,900 --> 00:15:06,400
-No, I totally get it.
383
00:15:06,440 --> 00:15:08,190
384
00:15:08,240 --> 00:15:09,740
-But if you want
this picture splashed
385
00:15:09,780 --> 00:15:11,950
across every
news publication tomorrow,
386
00:15:11,990 --> 00:15:13,620
consider...
giving me an interview?
387
00:15:13,660 --> 00:15:15,410
-Get out, now!
388
00:15:15,450 --> 00:15:18,410
-Okay, just--
I'm staying at the B&B in town!
389
00:15:19,620 --> 00:15:22,250
390
00:15:22,290 --> 00:15:25,090
-Uh, I was just leaving, too!
391
00:15:25,130 --> 00:15:26,670
-Why does that
brusque Yankee think
392
00:15:26,710 --> 00:15:28,340
that you're the Count?
393
00:15:28,380 --> 00:15:30,760
-Uh, because of...
394
00:15:30,800 --> 00:15:32,930
this?
395
00:15:32,970 --> 00:15:35,060
-Why do you have
the Count's personal medallion?
396
00:15:35,100 --> 00:15:36,810
-Now, I found it
outside the palace
397
00:15:36,850 --> 00:15:38,600
on the ground
in the front gardens.
398
00:15:38,640 --> 00:15:40,100
-Uh... who are you?!
399
00:15:40,140 --> 00:15:42,940
-Oh, I am Adam Pederson.
400
00:15:42,980 --> 00:15:45,940
I'm the new, uh,
seasonal landscaper.
401
00:15:45,980 --> 00:15:49,690
-May I suggest
you be on your way to work?
402
00:15:49,740 --> 00:15:50,950
At once!
403
00:15:50,990 --> 00:15:52,610
-Yes... yes!
No, I'm gone, gone.
404
00:15:52,660 --> 00:15:53,990
Not even here.
Bye!
405
00:16:00,000 --> 00:16:02,210
Monarch Insider?
406
00:16:02,250 --> 00:16:03,750
407
00:16:03,790 --> 00:16:07,340
And you say she took a picture
of this... staff member?
408
00:16:07,380 --> 00:16:10,670
-Yes, she truly believes
she met the Count.
409
00:16:10,720 --> 00:16:12,180
The only way
to get ahead of this
410
00:16:12,220 --> 00:16:13,550
is to finally release the truth.
411
00:16:13,590 --> 00:16:14,840
We can't.
412
00:16:14,890 --> 00:16:16,180
We'd go from having
at least some tourists
413
00:16:16,220 --> 00:16:17,970
to absolutely none.
414
00:16:18,010 --> 00:16:19,850
-We're headed there either way.
415
00:16:19,890 --> 00:16:21,980
Not necessarily.
416
00:16:22,020 --> 00:16:23,940
If this reporter already
believes this man
417
00:16:23,980 --> 00:16:26,650
to be the Count,
418
00:16:26,690 --> 00:16:31,610
perhaps a new solution
has just presented itself.
419
00:16:31,650 --> 00:16:33,660
-
420
00:16:33,700 --> 00:16:35,160
You could
have been fired!
421
00:16:35,200 --> 00:16:37,080
What were you thinking?
422
00:16:37,120 --> 00:16:40,660
-Honestly, I was more impressed
with that journalist.
423
00:16:40,700 --> 00:16:42,960
She just barged in there
thinking that she could
424
00:16:43,000 --> 00:16:45,580
get a private interview
with the Count.
425
00:16:45,630 --> 00:16:47,750
I'll tell you, the confidence
that that requires...
426
00:16:47,790 --> 00:16:50,380
-Sounds like
she's off her rocker.
427
00:16:50,420 --> 00:16:55,050
Besides Jensen, is there
any security at that palace?
428
00:16:55,090 --> 00:16:57,350
Our security
is the best in Nordin.
429
00:16:57,390 --> 00:17:01,100
-Ah, Sir Gustus!
Um... can I get you anything?
430
00:17:01,140 --> 00:17:03,810
Uh... tea, coffee?
Danish?
431
00:17:03,850 --> 00:17:05,190
-No, thank you.
432
00:17:05,230 --> 00:17:06,690
I just need
a moment alone with...
433
00:17:06,730 --> 00:17:09,650
with Mr. Pederson.
434
00:17:09,690 --> 00:17:11,820
-I'll be in the back.
435
00:17:15,740 --> 00:17:19,910
I'm so sorry again
about what happened today.
436
00:17:19,950 --> 00:17:23,460
-Mr. Pederson--
-Oh, please, call me Adam.
437
00:17:23,500 --> 00:17:26,460
-Mr. Pederson,
after conveying our incident
438
00:17:26,500 --> 00:17:28,590
to the Royal Council,
much to my dismay
439
00:17:28,630 --> 00:17:30,550
I've been sent here
to speak with you.
440
00:17:30,590 --> 00:17:31,880
-Hmm?
441
00:17:31,920 --> 00:17:34,220
-Thanks to your
outright desire to lie,
442
00:17:34,260 --> 00:17:37,140
this reporter believes
she met the Count today.
443
00:17:37,180 --> 00:17:39,260
If that photo is released,
it will cause a crisis
444
00:17:39,300 --> 00:17:41,680
of grand proportion
for the Royal Family.
445
00:17:41,720 --> 00:17:43,980
-Just release
a photo of the real Count.
446
00:17:44,020 --> 00:17:45,850
Discredit hers.
447
00:17:45,890 --> 00:17:47,770
-
448
00:17:47,810 --> 00:17:50,860
What I'm about to tell you
demands the utmost secrecy.
449
00:17:50,900 --> 00:17:52,940
Do you understand?
450
00:17:52,980 --> 00:17:54,320
-Yes.
451
00:17:54,360 --> 00:17:57,610
Sir.
452
00:17:57,660 --> 00:17:59,070
-There is...
453
00:17:59,120 --> 00:18:02,990
no Count of Sorhagen.
454
00:18:03,040 --> 00:18:04,660
-Yes, there is.
455
00:18:04,700 --> 00:18:06,920
-Count Lars abdicated
the title four years ago
456
00:18:06,960 --> 00:18:09,080
when he fell in love
with someone
457
00:18:09,130 --> 00:18:12,090
on Spring Break
at Daytona Beach.
458
00:18:12,130 --> 00:18:14,420
-Let me guess...
459
00:18:14,460 --> 00:18:17,430
what happened in Daytona
didn't stay in Daytona?
460
00:18:17,470 --> 00:18:18,840
-Precisely.
461
00:18:18,890 --> 00:18:20,640
He's been with her ever since.
462
00:18:20,680 --> 00:18:23,520
He threw that medallion
out the window in protest.
463
00:18:23,560 --> 00:18:25,430
We've been looking for it
for some time.
464
00:18:25,480 --> 00:18:26,730
-Really?
465
00:18:26,770 --> 00:18:29,440
Because it was just right--
well, hang on,
466
00:18:29,480 --> 00:18:33,110
why are you
telling me all of this?
467
00:18:33,150 --> 00:18:35,110
-Because
the Royal Council believes
468
00:18:35,150 --> 00:18:37,320
this is an opportunity
to avoid a bigger scandal.
469
00:18:37,360 --> 00:18:41,070
Since this reporter already
believes you to be the Count,
470
00:18:41,120 --> 00:18:44,160
will you step in
asthe Count for...
471
00:18:44,200 --> 00:18:46,120
a brief interview?
472
00:18:46,160 --> 00:18:47,250
She'll have to
turn over the photo
473
00:18:47,290 --> 00:18:48,790
in order to speak with you.
474
00:18:48,830 --> 00:18:51,460
We'll satisfy her curiosity,
allow her to publish
475
00:18:51,500 --> 00:18:54,840
a puff piece about how polite
and cordial the Count is.
476
00:18:54,880 --> 00:18:56,170
-
477
00:19:01,260 --> 00:19:02,800
Oh, you're serious?
478
00:19:02,850 --> 00:19:08,480
-Just one very short,
very rehearsed 15 minutes.
479
00:19:08,520 --> 00:19:10,600
-Are you sure
that's such a good idea?
480
00:19:10,650 --> 00:19:13,360
-The Royal Council
knows that businesses here
481
00:19:13,400 --> 00:19:16,610
depend on tourists
believing there is a Count.
482
00:19:16,650 --> 00:19:20,860
They feel a short interview
will keep that belief alive.
483
00:19:20,910 --> 00:19:26,120
*
484
00:19:26,160 --> 00:19:27,160
485
00:19:27,200 --> 00:19:28,160
It's Kirsten!
486
00:19:28,200 --> 00:19:30,290
-Come in!
487
00:19:30,330 --> 00:19:31,540
-Lost you on the tour today.
488
00:19:31,580 --> 00:19:32,790
I was worried
something happened,
489
00:19:32,830 --> 00:19:35,000
but then Sir Gustus told me
to give you this.
490
00:19:35,050 --> 00:19:36,880
What's going on?
491
00:19:39,840 --> 00:19:43,390
*
492
00:19:43,430 --> 00:19:44,850
What?!
493
00:19:44,890 --> 00:19:46,180
I've got the interview!
494
00:19:46,220 --> 00:19:47,720
I got the interview!
495
00:19:52,730 --> 00:19:55,190
Shoulders back.
Chin up.
496
00:19:55,230 --> 00:19:58,490
- Ugh...
497
00:19:58,530 --> 00:20:02,320
You sure this is really
necessary just for an interview?
498
00:20:02,360 --> 00:20:04,280
-Decorum and elegance
is the standard
499
00:20:04,320 --> 00:20:05,990
for the Nordin Royal Family.
500
00:20:10,660 --> 00:20:13,120
Ow!
501
00:20:13,170 --> 00:20:16,460
You sure you're qualified
to tailor a suit?
502
00:20:16,500 --> 00:20:20,010
-Would you prefer
that I called on Mr. Henrik,
503
00:20:20,050 --> 00:20:22,630
Sorhagen's chief suit-maker,
504
00:20:22,680 --> 00:20:26,390
and have you explain
how your indiscretion
505
00:20:26,430 --> 00:20:28,600
with that reporter
led us to this charade?
506
00:20:30,350 --> 00:20:35,060
Chop chop!
507
00:20:35,110 --> 00:20:36,360
-
508
00:20:36,400 --> 00:20:38,020
-Feet flat on the ground.
509
00:20:38,070 --> 00:20:39,940
Your back, straight.
510
00:20:39,980 --> 00:20:43,280
Your buttocks should touch
the back of the chair.
511
00:20:43,320 --> 00:20:46,120
Your weight evenly distributed
over both hips.
512
00:20:46,160 --> 00:20:47,490
Got it?
513
00:20:47,530 --> 00:20:49,740
-I've got-- ow!
A hundred pins in me.
514
00:20:52,210 --> 00:20:54,420
The Count would
never wear glasses to the press.
515
00:20:54,460 --> 00:20:56,420
-Hey!
I need those to be able to see.
516
00:20:56,460 --> 00:20:58,380
-We got you contacts.
517
00:21:00,800 --> 00:21:03,930
Wait... how did you
know my prescription?
518
00:21:03,970 --> 00:21:05,510
-We have resources.
519
00:21:05,550 --> 00:21:07,350
A reporter from
the Monarch Insider
520
00:21:07,390 --> 00:21:09,600
will be able to tell
a fake from a mile away.
521
00:21:09,640 --> 00:21:12,430
Remember, keep it light and fun.
522
00:21:12,480 --> 00:21:14,520
She needs to believe
she met the Count.
523
00:21:14,560 --> 00:21:16,440
We must do something
about your hair...
524
00:21:18,190 --> 00:21:19,860
Miss Collins.
525
00:21:24,360 --> 00:21:25,820
You clean up nice.
526
00:21:25,860 --> 00:21:27,700
A proper
introduction this time.
527
00:21:27,740 --> 00:21:30,990
Miss Collins,
Lars Ludwig Von Taylor,
528
00:21:31,040 --> 00:21:32,620
the Count of Sorhagen.
529
00:21:34,750 --> 00:21:37,250
Before we start, I must ask
if you've deleted the photo
530
00:21:37,290 --> 00:21:38,840
that you took of
Count Lars yesterday.
531
00:21:38,880 --> 00:21:40,960
- Yes, you made it
no photos.
532
00:21:41,000 --> 00:21:42,210
-And the agreement?
533
00:21:42,260 --> 00:21:43,880
-Signed, sealed, and delivered.
534
00:21:43,920 --> 00:21:45,760
-Ah!
535
00:21:45,800 --> 00:21:47,550
You may commence.
536
00:21:51,430 --> 00:21:54,850
-Your Grace, thank you so much
for allowing this.
537
00:21:54,890 --> 00:21:56,900
I'm very sorry
for bombarding you yesterday;
538
00:21:56,940 --> 00:22:00,320
there's just no other way
of getting in contact with you.
539
00:22:00,360 --> 00:22:01,900
Which brings me
to my first question:
540
00:22:01,940 --> 00:22:04,650
why are you so private?
541
00:22:04,690 --> 00:22:06,530
-I feel that
the best way to serve
542
00:22:06,570 --> 00:22:09,160
the country of Nordin is...
543
00:22:09,200 --> 00:22:10,620
out of the limelight.
544
00:22:10,660 --> 00:22:12,540
-Right, that's what all
your press releases say,
545
00:22:12,580 --> 00:22:14,330
but what does that
actually mean?
546
00:22:14,370 --> 00:22:16,790
-It means he doesn't
get bogged down
547
00:22:16,830 --> 00:22:18,960
with the showmanship
of the position.
548
00:22:19,000 --> 00:22:20,340
-Yes.
549
00:22:20,380 --> 00:22:23,420
However, Sorhagen's
economy has suffered
550
00:22:23,460 --> 00:22:25,670
since your father passed,
and many people believe
551
00:22:25,720 --> 00:22:28,930
that's because you haven't made
any public appearances.
552
00:22:28,970 --> 00:22:31,430
You don't feel any
responsibility to your country?
553
00:22:31,470 --> 00:22:34,220
-Uh... perhaps you'd
like to ask about
554
00:22:34,270 --> 00:22:36,180
the Count's Children's Charity?
555
00:22:36,230 --> 00:22:37,810
-Sir Gustus, no offence,
556
00:22:37,850 --> 00:22:39,940
but maybe the Count
would feel more comfortable
557
00:22:39,980 --> 00:22:41,150
if it were just us?
558
00:22:41,190 --> 00:22:42,570
-No.
-No.
559
00:22:42,610 --> 00:22:45,280
- Copy that. Okay.
-
560
00:22:45,320 --> 00:22:48,280
Well, um,
what do you do for fun?
561
00:22:48,320 --> 00:22:50,870
-I, uh, serve on...
562
00:22:50,910 --> 00:22:55,450
the Royal Warrant...
Appointment... Committee
563
00:22:55,500 --> 00:22:59,370
and The Northern European...
564
00:22:59,420 --> 00:23:01,750
Trust of Commerce.
565
00:23:04,000 --> 00:23:06,300
- Ah.
566
00:23:06,340 --> 00:23:09,720
Oh, you're serious?
Oh, wow. Um, okay.
567
00:23:09,760 --> 00:23:11,140
Well, what about
the Yuletide Ball?
568
00:23:11,180 --> 00:23:12,720
What's your role in that?
569
00:23:12,760 --> 00:23:15,100
-I oversee the event planning.
-Oh, are you a fan of Christmas?
570
00:23:15,140 --> 00:23:17,140
-Yes, no, it's
my favourite time of year!
571
00:23:17,180 --> 00:23:18,890
-Good, now we're talking!
572
00:23:18,940 --> 00:23:20,650
What are some of your favourite
Sorhagen Christmas activities?
573
00:23:20,690 --> 00:23:22,610
-The Nisse Hunt.
-Okay.
574
00:23:22,650 --> 00:23:25,070
-And then the Wreath Lighting
at the town square.
575
00:23:25,110 --> 00:23:26,440
My dad...
-Mm-hm?
576
00:23:26,480 --> 00:23:27,690
-...used to take me sledding,
577
00:23:27,740 --> 00:23:29,700
and then we would stay up
very, very late
578
00:23:29,740 --> 00:23:31,280
and watch the northern lights.
579
00:23:31,320 --> 00:23:33,660
-I didn't know
Counts went sledding.
580
00:23:33,700 --> 00:23:36,660
They normally don't.
581
00:23:36,700 --> 00:23:40,040
-Well, uh, so it seems
like Christmas is your thing.
582
00:23:41,790 --> 00:23:45,090
How about a special
in-depth article
583
00:23:45,130 --> 00:23:46,670
on Christmas with the Count?
584
00:23:46,710 --> 00:23:48,550
Everything leading up
to the Yuletide Ball.
585
00:23:48,590 --> 00:23:50,510
Give people a real chance
to know you.
586
00:23:50,550 --> 00:23:51,510
-That sounds amazing.
587
00:23:51,550 --> 00:23:55,140
-Absolutely not!
588
00:23:55,180 --> 00:23:58,020
I think the Count's a bit
sleep-deprived at the moment.
589
00:23:58,060 --> 00:23:59,020
-
590
00:23:59,060 --> 00:24:00,310
-Fifteen minutes.
591
00:24:00,350 --> 00:24:03,480
That was our agreement.
592
00:24:03,520 --> 00:24:06,480
-Yes, um...
but weren't you also the one
593
00:24:06,520 --> 00:24:08,530
that was telling me
that the Royal Council
594
00:24:08,570 --> 00:24:11,280
is very worried about
tourism numbers?
595
00:24:11,320 --> 00:24:13,660
And wouldn't an in-depth article
596
00:24:13,700 --> 00:24:17,120
on Christmas with the Count
help?
597
00:24:17,160 --> 00:24:21,160
After all,
I am the Count of Sorhagen.
598
00:24:23,040 --> 00:24:24,130
My decision.
599
00:24:24,170 --> 00:24:26,420
-His decision.
600
00:24:26,460 --> 00:24:28,300
Fifteen minutes.
601
00:24:28,340 --> 00:24:30,010
That's what we decided.
602
00:24:30,050 --> 00:24:31,840
I-- I tried
to stop him.
603
00:24:31,880 --> 00:24:33,510
I don't think
he truly comprehends
604
00:24:33,550 --> 00:24:35,970
what a full Christmas spread
with a publication
605
00:24:36,010 --> 00:24:37,560
like the Monarch Insider
will entail.
606
00:24:37,600 --> 00:24:38,720
-What do we do now?
607
00:24:38,770 --> 00:24:40,980
-We stick to the plan.
608
00:24:41,020 --> 00:24:42,480
Sir Gustus will
have to take charge.
609
00:24:42,520 --> 00:24:43,730
-Oh!
610
00:24:43,770 --> 00:24:45,190
-Oversee that we give
the journalist
611
00:24:45,230 --> 00:24:46,820
tidbits here and there.
612
00:24:46,860 --> 00:24:50,360
And keep her and Mr. Pederson's
interactions minimal, hmm?
613
00:24:53,240 --> 00:24:56,120
If all goes well, we walk away
with an uptick in tourism
614
00:24:56,160 --> 00:25:00,250
and time to find a more
permanent solution.
615
00:25:00,290 --> 00:25:03,920
-With all due respect,
616
00:25:03,960 --> 00:25:07,290
keeping Mr. Pederson in line
might be a...
617
00:25:07,340 --> 00:25:09,250
a tall order.
618
00:25:09,300 --> 00:25:11,840
-Surely not for you, Sir Gustus.
619
00:25:11,880 --> 00:25:14,720
The King
has the utmost faith in you.
620
00:25:17,850 --> 00:25:19,760
So, let me
get this straight...
621
00:25:19,810 --> 00:25:23,770
there's actually no Count,
but now you're the Count?
622
00:25:23,810 --> 00:25:29,270
-Yeah, see, I am...
I am temporarily...
623
00:25:29,320 --> 00:25:32,070
pretending to be the Count.
624
00:25:32,110 --> 00:25:34,200
But, you see, because
she's doing an exclusive
625
00:25:34,240 --> 00:25:35,780
on Christmas with the Count,
626
00:25:35,820 --> 00:25:38,370
that means that I get
to stay at the Palace,
627
00:25:38,410 --> 00:25:39,910
which apparently means
628
00:25:39,950 --> 00:25:42,500
that I can order anything
from the kitchens.
629
00:25:42,540 --> 00:25:45,330
Now, that is a pretty sweet gig.
630
00:25:45,370 --> 00:25:48,750
*
631
00:25:48,790 --> 00:25:52,460
This is madness!
632
00:25:52,510 --> 00:25:54,130
-Actually...
633
00:25:54,170 --> 00:25:56,840
come to think about it,
I probably shouldn't be out.
634
00:25:56,890 --> 00:25:59,600
Sir Gustus gave me a lecture
about keeping a low profile
635
00:25:59,640 --> 00:26:01,930
because, well, the journalist...
636
00:26:01,970 --> 00:26:05,560
she's staying
at Trina's B&B nearby.
637
00:26:05,600 --> 00:26:08,690
-Oh, then she's
probably met Kirsten.
638
00:26:10,730 --> 00:26:13,610
Maybe you could, uh, find out
if they know each other?
639
00:26:13,650 --> 00:26:15,030
-Oh, yeah.
640
00:26:15,070 --> 00:26:17,280
No, sure, in addition to
pretending to be the Count
641
00:26:17,320 --> 00:26:20,450
I'm gonna ask a prestigious
journalist to play matchmaker
642
00:26:20,490 --> 00:26:22,200
to the B&B owner's niece.
643
00:26:22,240 --> 00:26:25,000
-Wouldn't be the craziest
thing happening here.
644
00:26:25,040 --> 00:26:27,210
--Fair enough.
645
00:26:35,420 --> 00:26:36,720
That's her!
646
00:26:38,390 --> 00:26:40,850
Oh... okay.
647
00:26:40,890 --> 00:26:43,220
Now I get why you're
pretending to be a Count.
648
00:26:43,260 --> 00:26:44,850
-Well, what do I do?
649
00:26:44,890 --> 00:26:47,640
-First off, stop acting weird
650
00:26:47,690 --> 00:26:50,560
and stop looking back at her!
651
00:26:50,610 --> 00:26:53,360
What are you, Superman?
You look the same!
652
00:26:53,400 --> 00:26:55,280
-Oh...
653
00:26:55,320 --> 00:26:57,070
let's go out the back door!
654
00:27:01,660 --> 00:27:03,490
- Ahh!
- -
655
00:27:03,540 --> 00:27:05,370
Smooth...
656
00:27:05,410 --> 00:27:07,210
-I am so sorry.
657
00:27:09,580 --> 00:27:12,250
Uh...
658
00:27:12,290 --> 00:27:14,250
-Your Grace?
-Uh...
659
00:27:19,220 --> 00:27:21,760
-Hi.
-You look so different.
660
00:27:21,800 --> 00:27:23,390
-I do look different,
because...
661
00:27:25,350 --> 00:27:27,520
I am undercover.
662
00:27:27,560 --> 00:27:30,100
Yes, you see, the Count
cannot just go into a local pub
663
00:27:30,150 --> 00:27:32,690
and have a drink
like everyone else.
664
00:27:32,730 --> 00:27:35,030
No, I have to use a disguise.
665
00:27:36,900 --> 00:27:38,530
666
00:27:38,570 --> 00:27:40,700
Uh... this is Jensen.
667
00:27:40,740 --> 00:27:42,990
He is my personal
security guard.
668
00:27:43,030 --> 00:27:46,620
He goes with me everywhere
when I am... undercover.
669
00:27:46,660 --> 00:27:47,950
-Right.
670
00:27:48,000 --> 00:27:49,540
-Nice to meet you.
671
00:27:49,580 --> 00:27:50,870
-Oh, great to meet you.
672
00:27:50,920 --> 00:27:52,420
Hey, listen,
I was thinking we could start
673
00:27:52,460 --> 00:27:53,540
the exclusive right now.
674
00:27:53,590 --> 00:27:54,920
-No, I don't think
that's a good idea.
675
00:27:54,960 --> 00:27:56,380
-It's a great idea!
676
00:27:56,420 --> 00:27:57,670
There's a Christmas
shuffleboard game back there.
677
00:27:57,710 --> 00:27:58,880
-Sjoelbak?
-Sjoelbak!
678
00:27:58,920 --> 00:28:00,550
Right, that.
679
00:28:00,590 --> 00:28:03,970
For every point I score,
I get to ask you a question.
680
00:28:04,010 --> 00:28:05,510
Let's go!
681
00:28:09,930 --> 00:28:13,230
I'll, um,
see you back at the palace?
682
00:28:13,270 --> 00:28:16,270
-I'll make sure your bed
is turned down...
683
00:28:16,320 --> 00:28:17,570
my liege.
684
00:28:21,490 --> 00:28:23,450
685
00:28:29,370 --> 00:28:32,080
So that's how you've
kept private for so long, huh?
686
00:28:32,120 --> 00:28:33,920
No one here knows
who you actually are.
687
00:28:33,960 --> 00:28:35,630
-Uh, yes, yes.
688
00:28:35,670 --> 00:28:37,460
They all think I'm a local.
689
00:28:37,500 --> 00:28:39,920
So it's just
something I do to unwind,
690
00:28:39,960 --> 00:28:42,590
I just put on a disguise
and just, you know,
691
00:28:42,630 --> 00:28:46,140
go out into town.
692
00:28:46,180 --> 00:28:49,560
-I knew there was an explanation
for those cheap clothes
693
00:28:49,600 --> 00:28:51,430
and this wrinkled mess--
694
00:28:51,480 --> 00:28:52,600
it's a disguise.
695
00:28:52,640 --> 00:28:54,400
Woo!
696
00:28:54,440 --> 00:28:57,070
-Good to know how much
appearances mean to you.
697
00:28:57,110 --> 00:28:59,030
-Well, no, it's just
I was making an observation
698
00:28:59,070 --> 00:29:00,820
on attire I've never
seen a royal wear.
699
00:29:00,860 --> 00:29:02,110
Aw... oh!
700
00:29:02,150 --> 00:29:03,450
-Okay, again. Oh!
-Oh!
701
00:29:03,490 --> 00:29:04,410
-Ah! Now...
-Okay.
702
00:29:04,450 --> 00:29:05,700
-Now, now, now, watch.
-Yeah.
703
00:29:05,740 --> 00:29:07,120
-Now, don't aim
for the first one,
704
00:29:07,160 --> 00:29:09,450
aim for the second one,
because once you get a set,
705
00:29:09,490 --> 00:29:10,410
you double the score.
706
00:29:10,450 --> 00:29:12,460
- Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- Oh!
707
00:29:12,500 --> 00:29:13,420
-Or you could do that.
708
00:29:13,460 --> 00:29:14,870
-Yeah!
-Wow.
709
00:29:14,920 --> 00:29:16,790
Uh, are you sure you've
never played this game before?
710
00:29:16,840 --> 00:29:18,960
-I have beginner's luck.
711
00:29:19,000 --> 00:29:20,380
It's really interesting,
712
00:29:20,420 --> 00:29:23,340
you know, this morning,
you were so stiff.
713
00:29:23,380 --> 00:29:25,390
Up until I mentioned Christmas.
714
00:29:25,430 --> 00:29:28,350
But here,
you just seem more regular.
715
00:29:28,390 --> 00:29:32,060
-Oh, is, um... regular
a good thing or a bad thing?
716
00:29:32,100 --> 00:29:33,480
-Well, it depends.
717
00:29:33,520 --> 00:29:34,600
-Depends on what?
718
00:29:34,640 --> 00:29:36,730
-On what kind of Count
you want to be.
719
00:29:37,980 --> 00:29:39,150
Oh...
720
00:29:39,190 --> 00:29:40,940
-I... want to be
the kind of Count
721
00:29:40,980 --> 00:29:42,610
that beats you at Sjoelbak.
722
00:29:42,650 --> 00:29:43,950
-Mm-hm?
Good luck!
723
00:29:43,990 --> 00:29:44,950
Ha-ha!
724
00:29:44,990 --> 00:29:46,110
-Ooh!
725
00:29:46,160 --> 00:29:50,700
*
726
00:29:50,740 --> 00:29:53,370
Hardly recognized you
without your glasses on.
727
00:29:53,410 --> 00:29:56,290
-Oh... funny.
You're funny.
728
00:29:56,330 --> 00:29:58,710
- So, what's in the bag?
729
00:29:58,750 --> 00:30:00,340
-Right, well, are you ready
730
00:30:00,380 --> 00:30:04,840
for your first official Royal
Sorhagen Christmas tradition?
731
00:30:04,880 --> 00:30:06,340
-Yes, I'm ready.
732
00:30:06,380 --> 00:30:07,550
-Ta-da!
733
00:30:07,590 --> 00:30:09,050
-Oh, it's a gnome!
734
00:30:09,100 --> 00:30:11,850
-Uh, no, it's a Nisse.
Totally different.
735
00:30:11,890 --> 00:30:13,350
-Oh.
736
00:30:13,390 --> 00:30:15,350
-It's a mythological creature
that symbolizes
737
00:30:15,390 --> 00:30:19,190
the Nordic Winter Solstice.
738
00:30:19,230 --> 00:30:21,690
And we, um,
hide them all over the grounds
739
00:30:21,730 --> 00:30:23,940
so that children can find them
740
00:30:23,990 --> 00:30:26,450
and win prizes.
-Ah.
741
00:30:26,490 --> 00:30:28,570
So an Easter Egg Hunt
with gnomes?
742
00:30:28,620 --> 00:30:30,370
-Oh.
743
00:30:30,410 --> 00:30:33,040
I wasn't aware that humour
is what you were gnome for.
744
00:30:33,080 --> 00:30:35,370
- Good one!
745
00:30:35,410 --> 00:30:39,250
-Well, this was my favourite
Christmas tradition as a child.
746
00:30:39,290 --> 00:30:42,420
Yeah, my parents used to
bring me here every year.
747
00:30:42,460 --> 00:30:44,420
-Well, yeah,
didn't you grow up here?
748
00:30:44,460 --> 00:30:45,590
-Oh, yes.
749
00:30:45,630 --> 00:30:48,340
No, I meant that I
also got to participate.
750
00:30:48,390 --> 00:30:49,510
-Oh, okay.
751
00:30:49,550 --> 00:30:51,140
Are you close with
the rest of your family?
752
00:30:51,180 --> 00:30:53,260
Like Lord Limburg,
who's technically both
753
00:30:53,310 --> 00:30:55,480
your father's first cousin
and your mother's fourth cousin
754
00:30:55,520 --> 00:30:57,230
twice removed,
but the only living relative
755
00:30:57,270 --> 00:31:01,110
on your maternal side?
756
00:31:01,150 --> 00:31:03,110
-Wait a minute...
757
00:31:03,150 --> 00:31:05,990
You know all that, but you
don't know what Nisse are?
758
00:31:06,030 --> 00:31:08,110
-Well, my mother
was a history professor.
759
00:31:08,150 --> 00:31:09,610
Royal bloodlines fascinated us.
760
00:31:09,660 --> 00:31:11,530
-Oh!
761
00:31:11,570 --> 00:31:14,240
You must really love
what you do,
762
00:31:14,290 --> 00:31:18,580
working in such a prestigious
and historical publication.
763
00:31:18,620 --> 00:31:21,710
-Well, I'm good at it,
but being good at something
764
00:31:21,750 --> 00:31:23,710
doesn't necessarily mean
you're passionate about it.
765
00:31:23,750 --> 00:31:25,300
-Huh!
766
00:31:25,340 --> 00:31:28,970
Well, at least
you're not still trying to
767
00:31:29,010 --> 00:31:32,100
figure out your
direction in life.
768
00:31:32,140 --> 00:31:34,930
I don't even know
where to focus my endeavours,
769
00:31:34,970 --> 00:31:37,230
let alone know what I'm good at.
770
00:31:37,270 --> 00:31:40,520
-Well, must be nice being able
to figure out your passion
771
00:31:40,560 --> 00:31:42,810
without any monetary
consequences.
772
00:31:42,860 --> 00:31:46,360
-You do know that money
can't buy you happiness, right?
773
00:31:46,400 --> 00:31:49,530
-Ha! Says the Count
in a million-dollar palace.
774
00:31:51,950 --> 00:31:53,830
-Huh.
-What?
775
00:31:53,870 --> 00:31:55,540
- No, it's just...
-
776
00:31:55,580 --> 00:31:58,620
-...good to know what you see
when you look at me.
777
00:31:58,660 --> 00:32:02,630
*
778
00:32:02,670 --> 00:32:06,130
*
779
00:32:06,170 --> 00:32:10,300
780
00:32:10,340 --> 00:32:16,180
*
781
00:32:16,220 --> 00:32:17,810
Be sure to check
the Christmas Trees!
782
00:32:17,850 --> 00:32:19,140
Slow down!
783
00:32:19,180 --> 00:32:21,350
There'll be plenty of treats
to go around!
784
00:32:21,390 --> 00:32:24,360
-Nothing like children enjoying
the true meaning of Christmas.
785
00:32:24,400 --> 00:32:26,610
-Uh, is that what you'd call it?
786
00:32:26,650 --> 00:32:28,110
-I'm Jensen.
787
00:32:28,150 --> 00:32:30,150
-Yeah, I know.
You work security. I'm Kirsten.
788
00:32:30,200 --> 00:32:31,570
I just started a few weeks ago.
789
00:32:31,610 --> 00:32:33,110
- You're doing great.
- Oh!
790
00:32:33,160 --> 00:32:35,580
-Just from the tours
I hear walking by.
791
00:32:35,620 --> 00:32:38,870
Not that I eavesdrop,
I just enjoy it.
792
00:32:38,910 --> 00:32:41,120
The, uh, the tours, that is.
793
00:32:41,160 --> 00:32:43,080
Not you walking by.
794
00:32:43,120 --> 00:32:44,500
-Right.
795
00:32:44,540 --> 00:32:47,170
-Um, do you need help
handing those out?
796
00:32:47,210 --> 00:32:48,800
-Oh, um, yeah,
that'd be great.
797
00:32:48,840 --> 00:32:51,220
Actually, I've had to pee
for like a half-hour.
798
00:32:54,180 --> 00:32:58,310
799
00:32:58,350 --> 00:33:00,140
800
00:33:00,180 --> 00:33:03,230
- Come in?
801
00:33:05,860 --> 00:33:08,900
Good morning.
Your breakfast, sir.
802
00:33:17,080 --> 00:33:21,870
Oh, I could get used to this.
803
00:33:21,910 --> 00:33:23,420
-Don't.
804
00:33:23,460 --> 00:33:27,380
*
805
00:33:37,600 --> 00:33:39,060
Your Grace...
806
00:33:39,100 --> 00:33:41,220
Miss Collins...
807
00:33:41,270 --> 00:33:45,190
Welcome to the Yuletide Ball
Planning Committee meeting.
808
00:33:58,120 --> 00:33:59,700
Ready?
809
00:33:59,740 --> 00:34:00,990
Right.
810
00:34:01,040 --> 00:34:03,830
We have the royal crystal
coming in on the 22nd.
811
00:34:03,870 --> 00:34:05,870
-And the pheasants
will arrive on the 23rd
812
00:34:05,920 --> 00:34:08,540
to give the King's chefs enough
time to brine them properly.
813
00:34:08,590 --> 00:34:10,090
-Ah, there's been
a candle shortage
814
00:34:10,130 --> 00:34:11,710
in the capital factories.
815
00:34:11,760 --> 00:34:13,920
We'll have to ship some in
from the Newhaven Castle.
816
00:34:13,970 --> 00:34:16,760
But we have a candlemaker
here in town.
817
00:34:16,800 --> 00:34:19,600
Why not ask him to make them?
818
00:34:19,640 --> 00:34:21,850
-Uh, because, Your Grace,
819
00:34:21,890 --> 00:34:24,480
the Yuletide Ball has been
done exactly the same way
820
00:34:24,520 --> 00:34:26,440
for over a hundred years.
821
00:34:26,480 --> 00:34:28,310
It's about regality.
822
00:34:28,360 --> 00:34:30,110
-Hmm.
823
00:34:30,150 --> 00:34:33,940
I never realized that everything
was imported for the ball.
824
00:34:33,990 --> 00:34:38,240
We have amazing craftsmen
and chefs here in Sorhagen;
825
00:34:38,280 --> 00:34:41,580
wouldn't it be better for
the community if we hired them?
826
00:34:41,620 --> 00:34:43,330
Count Lars!
827
00:34:43,370 --> 00:34:45,960
Of course you knew that!
828
00:34:46,000 --> 00:34:50,040
Tradition is what
the Yuletide Ball celebrates.
829
00:34:50,090 --> 00:34:53,000
The guests are nobles
and dignitaries
830
00:34:53,050 --> 00:34:54,460
from all over the world.
831
00:34:54,510 --> 00:34:56,050
Not to interrupt...
832
00:34:56,090 --> 00:34:59,340
Um, technically
the Yuletide Ball exists
833
00:34:59,390 --> 00:35:01,970
because of
the pagan holiday Yule,
834
00:35:02,010 --> 00:35:05,020
which was implemented to lift
the spirits of the local farmer
835
00:35:05,060 --> 00:35:07,940
after the harvest as the days
got shorter and colder.
836
00:35:07,980 --> 00:35:11,110
So it's always been
about the people.
837
00:35:11,150 --> 00:35:12,650
-Hmm!
838
00:35:12,690 --> 00:35:14,980
-Right, so honouring
its history would mean
839
00:35:15,030 --> 00:35:16,900
honouring this community.
840
00:35:16,950 --> 00:35:18,450
Yes!
841
00:35:18,490 --> 00:35:19,780
See?
842
00:35:21,200 --> 00:35:24,700
It would make more sense
to open up the ball to everyone,
843
00:35:24,740 --> 00:35:26,330
not just the nobles.
844
00:35:26,370 --> 00:35:27,910
845
00:35:27,960 --> 00:35:29,330
-Absolutely not.
846
00:35:29,370 --> 00:35:31,500
-There is a royal standard
of conduct...
847
00:35:31,540 --> 00:35:33,880
And rules
for the ball.
848
00:35:33,920 --> 00:35:36,170
Unless you want to take it up
with your uncle...
849
00:35:36,210 --> 00:35:37,920
The King of Nordin?
850
00:35:37,970 --> 00:35:40,050
-No.
851
00:35:40,090 --> 00:35:43,350
No, I just thought it was
worthwhile suggesting.
852
00:35:43,390 --> 00:35:45,180
But I guess...
853
00:35:45,220 --> 00:35:47,730
tradition wins.
854
00:35:47,770 --> 00:35:50,060
-You're the Count, and you
let them shoot down your ideas?
855
00:35:50,100 --> 00:35:52,310
-Well, they are
the royal advisors.
856
00:35:52,360 --> 00:35:53,770
I have to respect
their advising.
857
00:35:53,820 --> 00:35:55,690
-Yeah, but it was
such a good idea.
858
00:35:55,730 --> 00:35:58,860
-Ah, well, it appears
they don't like good ideas.
859
00:35:58,900 --> 00:36:01,740
In the grand scheme of history,
who am I to change things?
860
00:36:01,780 --> 00:36:04,280
But I do appreciate the support
of a passionate historian,
861
00:36:04,330 --> 00:36:05,870
though, so thank you.
862
00:36:05,910 --> 00:36:08,410
-It was actually nice being able
to flex those muscles again.
863
00:36:08,460 --> 00:36:09,830
-Oh? Hmm.
864
00:36:09,870 --> 00:36:11,750
-And since you brought it up,
865
00:36:11,790 --> 00:36:14,500
this historian was hoping
since we're in the East Wing,
866
00:36:14,540 --> 00:36:17,010
maybe I could have a look
at the Royal Tannenbaum?
867
00:36:17,050 --> 00:36:18,090
-The... uh...?
868
00:36:18,130 --> 00:36:20,630
-You know,
the family Christmas tree?
869
00:36:22,260 --> 00:36:26,430
It has, like, the jewelled star
gifted to the Count of Sorhagen
870
00:36:26,470 --> 00:36:29,810
in 1848 after
the Treaty of Borg...?
871
00:36:29,850 --> 00:36:31,230
-Uh, yes!
872
00:36:31,270 --> 00:36:32,520
-Yeah!
-Of course, yes.
873
00:36:32,560 --> 00:36:35,360
That one. I...
Follow me.
874
00:36:35,400 --> 00:36:37,070
-Isn't that west?
875
00:36:37,110 --> 00:36:38,230
-Yes.
876
00:36:38,280 --> 00:36:40,280
877
00:36:44,780 --> 00:36:47,450
Wow, it's stunning!
878
00:36:47,490 --> 00:36:49,120
-It really is, isn't it?
879
00:36:49,160 --> 00:36:50,330
Huh!
880
00:36:50,370 --> 00:36:52,420
-Look...
881
00:36:52,460 --> 00:36:54,960
the ruby red heart!
882
00:36:55,000 --> 00:36:56,750
This was given to Countess Freya
883
00:36:56,800 --> 00:36:58,250
by Count Odin
on their wedding day.
884
00:36:58,300 --> 00:36:59,460
Can you imagine?
885
00:36:59,510 --> 00:37:01,840
Your great-great-
great-grandparents
886
00:37:01,880 --> 00:37:04,470
finding love despite
coming from different kingdoms?
887
00:37:04,510 --> 00:37:05,970
This is worth a fortune!
888
00:37:06,010 --> 00:37:07,180
-Really?
-Yeah!
889
00:37:07,220 --> 00:37:09,720
-Is it? Hmm!
-Oh.
890
00:37:09,770 --> 00:37:11,520
You must know
about some of these.
891
00:37:11,560 --> 00:37:14,850
-Yeah, no,
they sort of all get jumbled up.
892
00:37:14,900 --> 00:37:15,980
I'm actually more impressed with
893
00:37:16,020 --> 00:37:17,440
how much you know
about everything.
894
00:37:17,480 --> 00:37:19,820
-That's thanks to my mother.
895
00:37:19,860 --> 00:37:22,030
I grew up with her telling me
bedtime stories
896
00:37:22,070 --> 00:37:24,450
about the real kings
and queens of Europe.
897
00:37:24,490 --> 00:37:26,620
She always said
that real history
898
00:37:26,660 --> 00:37:30,160
was so much more interesting,
and she was right.
899
00:37:33,000 --> 00:37:35,130
She would have loved this place.
900
00:37:36,880 --> 00:37:41,210
Ah... yeah, Christmas was
her favourite holiday,
901
00:37:41,260 --> 00:37:44,180
and it just hasn't really been
the same since she passed.
902
00:37:44,220 --> 00:37:46,140
-I'm sure she would
be very proud of you.
903
00:37:46,180 --> 00:37:47,800
-Hmm.
904
00:37:47,850 --> 00:37:51,220
Yeah, I don't know,
trying to write clickbait
905
00:37:51,270 --> 00:37:53,480
about royal families is a lot
different than studying them.
906
00:37:53,520 --> 00:37:55,100
-Clickbait?
907
00:37:55,150 --> 00:37:58,570
Come on,
give yourself a bit more credit.
908
00:37:58,610 --> 00:38:00,780
Your publication is more
prestigious than that.
909
00:38:00,820 --> 00:38:04,280
*
910
00:38:04,320 --> 00:38:07,160
Um...
911
00:38:07,200 --> 00:38:08,410
Look, Your Grace, I--
912
00:38:08,450 --> 00:38:11,080
-No, no, please.
I understand.
913
00:38:13,200 --> 00:38:16,000
I lost my father.
914
00:38:16,040 --> 00:38:17,630
-Yeah.
915
00:38:17,670 --> 00:38:19,000
That must have been so hard,
going through that
916
00:38:19,040 --> 00:38:22,800
with the whole world watching.
917
00:38:22,840 --> 00:38:26,680
-Yes, yes.
No, it was. I just...
918
00:38:26,720 --> 00:38:27,930
I just meant that Christmas
919
00:38:27,970 --> 00:38:29,760
isn't the same without them,
is it?
920
00:38:32,850 --> 00:38:35,810
*
921
00:38:35,850 --> 00:38:38,560
922
00:38:38,610 --> 00:38:40,020
Hello?
923
00:38:40,070 --> 00:38:42,530
-So, spill the beans!
I haven't heard from you!
924
00:38:42,570 --> 00:38:45,360
-Well, I've been kind of busy
getting the biggest exclusive
925
00:38:45,400 --> 00:38:46,950
RGE could ever imagine.
926
00:38:46,990 --> 00:38:48,410
-Amazing!
927
00:38:48,450 --> 00:38:50,240
-You know, the information
I'm getting is illuminating.
928
00:38:50,280 --> 00:38:53,450
Everything we thought he was,
it's the complete opposite.
929
00:38:53,500 --> 00:38:55,330
-Great. Love to hear it.
930
00:38:55,370 --> 00:38:58,750
Now, as you know,
visuals are everything, right?
931
00:38:58,790 --> 00:39:00,210
Not that I think you would,
but you could be making
932
00:39:00,250 --> 00:39:02,380
the whole thing up, so we need
to release some photos,
933
00:39:02,420 --> 00:39:03,460
get some proof going.
934
00:39:03,510 --> 00:39:05,880
-Um, you know...
935
00:39:05,920 --> 00:39:08,010
Okay, it's all about building
trust with him and the firm,
936
00:39:08,050 --> 00:39:09,890
and right now
that is still off the table.
937
00:39:09,930 --> 00:39:11,100
-We're not in
the trust business,
938
00:39:11,140 --> 00:39:12,390
we're in the gossip business!
939
00:39:12,430 --> 00:39:13,930
-Yeah.
940
00:39:13,970 --> 00:39:15,560
- And as of late,
you've been the queen of that,
941
00:39:15,600 --> 00:39:17,020
so let's keep that up, yeah?
942
00:39:17,060 --> 00:39:19,810
-You know, I don't really
think of this as gossip.
943
00:39:19,850 --> 00:39:22,690
It's more us reporting
very specific news.
944
00:39:22,730 --> 00:39:24,150
-Well, you know, my motto is
945
00:39:24,190 --> 00:39:27,490
"Like apples and pears,
the juicier the better," yeah?
946
00:39:27,530 --> 00:39:28,570
-Great motto.
947
00:39:28,610 --> 00:39:30,200
-I need a picture!
948
00:39:30,240 --> 00:39:31,910
-Alright, I'm on it.
949
00:39:34,450 --> 00:39:36,040
950
00:39:43,380 --> 00:39:45,170
I'm glad to see
you've made yourself at home.
951
00:39:45,210 --> 00:39:46,920
-Mmm!
952
00:39:46,970 --> 00:39:49,510
The kitchen staff have been
very accommodating.
953
00:39:49,550 --> 00:39:50,640
You fancy a taste?
954
00:39:50,680 --> 00:39:52,010
-No, thank you.
955
00:39:52,050 --> 00:39:53,760
We need to talk about
what you tried to do
956
00:39:53,810 --> 00:39:54,850
at yesterday's meeting.
957
00:39:54,890 --> 00:39:56,810
-Quick question first.
958
00:39:56,850 --> 00:39:58,690
959
00:39:58,730 --> 00:40:01,150
If I had been the real Count
960
00:40:01,190 --> 00:40:03,860
and suggested
using local resources,
961
00:40:03,900 --> 00:40:05,530
would you have
turned down my idea?
962
00:40:05,570 --> 00:40:09,320
-He would never have tried
to impose on royal tradition.
963
00:40:09,360 --> 00:40:12,820
-Hmm, didn't the Count choose
love over royal tradition?
964
00:40:12,870 --> 00:40:14,200
-
965
00:40:14,240 --> 00:40:17,370
-Look, I know that
all of this is temporary,
966
00:40:17,410 --> 00:40:19,910
but Charlotte
has made me curious.
967
00:40:19,960 --> 00:40:24,170
So I requested a list of
all the things being imported
968
00:40:24,210 --> 00:40:27,710
for the ball, and everything
from crystal stemware to glogg
969
00:40:27,760 --> 00:40:31,550
can and could come from local
businesses here in Sorhagen.
970
00:40:31,590 --> 00:40:33,640
-
971
00:40:33,680 --> 00:40:36,770
Why do you care so much?
972
00:40:36,810 --> 00:40:38,600
-Being away for so long,
I hadn't realized
973
00:40:38,640 --> 00:40:41,640
how tough things had gotten
for local businesses here.
974
00:40:41,690 --> 00:40:43,230
I was just looking
for ways to help.
975
00:40:43,270 --> 00:40:47,070
But you're right,
I'm not the real Count...
976
00:40:47,110 --> 00:40:49,190
let alone an economist.
977
00:40:53,240 --> 00:40:56,620
I was raised
never to ruffle feathers.
978
00:40:56,660 --> 00:40:59,870
My father was the advisor
to the Count before Charles
979
00:40:59,910 --> 00:41:02,790
and his father before him.
980
00:41:02,830 --> 00:41:06,040
Tradition is all I know.
981
00:41:06,090 --> 00:41:08,090
For my entire life,
it's been my responsibility
982
00:41:08,130 --> 00:41:09,920
to uphold this legacy.
983
00:41:09,960 --> 00:41:13,340
-Sounds suffocating.
984
00:41:13,390 --> 00:41:16,680
- Where are you going now?
985
00:41:16,720 --> 00:41:18,810
-Well, I promised Charlotte
that I would take her
986
00:41:18,850 --> 00:41:21,430
to the Wreath Lighting
in the town square.
987
00:41:21,480 --> 00:41:23,560
-It's not good to go
into town with her.
988
00:41:23,600 --> 00:41:25,360
Too much could go wrong.
989
00:41:25,400 --> 00:41:26,940
-Don't worry, Gus.
990
00:41:26,980 --> 00:41:29,900
I have a foolproof plan.
991
00:41:29,940 --> 00:41:32,490
She thinks that
this is the disguise...
992
00:41:34,660 --> 00:41:36,240
not this.
993
00:41:41,040 --> 00:41:44,960
It's okay to ruffle
a few feathers once in a while.
994
00:41:45,000 --> 00:41:48,920
Actually, it's quite fun.
995
00:41:48,960 --> 00:41:50,460
-You're slouching!
996
00:42:01,020 --> 00:42:04,480
997
00:42:18,990 --> 00:42:21,750
998
00:42:29,710 --> 00:42:31,170
It's so beautiful.
999
00:42:32,800 --> 00:42:35,680
When I was little, my mom and I
used to make dioramas
1000
00:42:35,720 --> 00:42:38,260
of medieval towns out of clay.
1001
00:42:38,300 --> 00:42:40,600
This place reminds me of them.
1002
00:42:40,640 --> 00:42:43,890
-So you're saying that Sorhagen
is stuck in medieval times?
1003
00:42:43,930 --> 00:42:45,440
-Yeah, but in a good way,
1004
00:42:45,480 --> 00:42:47,350
with the bonus of electricity
and indoor plumbing.
1005
00:42:47,400 --> 00:42:49,770
1006
00:42:49,810 --> 00:42:52,780
-I have missed this place.
1007
00:42:52,820 --> 00:42:55,200
The town square, I mean.
1008
00:42:55,240 --> 00:42:56,860
I don't get to
come here that often.
1009
00:42:56,910 --> 00:42:58,570
-Oh.
1010
00:42:58,620 --> 00:43:01,330
I have missed going
all out for Christmas.
1011
00:43:01,370 --> 00:43:06,120
For so long, it was just a day
that reminded me of my mom,
1012
00:43:06,160 --> 00:43:07,960
which always made me so sad.
1013
00:43:08,000 --> 00:43:09,380
-And now?
1014
00:43:09,420 --> 00:43:13,510
-And now, I can see
her loving all this,
1015
00:43:13,550 --> 00:43:17,260
whispering to me about the great
debate on the origin of wreaths,
1016
00:43:17,300 --> 00:43:19,390
and whether they're based
on Greco-Roman coronas
1017
00:43:19,430 --> 00:43:21,260
or whether their existence
didn't come into fruition
1018
00:43:21,300 --> 00:43:25,140
until after Christianity as
a symbol of never-ending life.
1019
00:43:25,180 --> 00:43:28,480
-Well, you're welcome to
whisper all of that to me.
1020
00:43:28,520 --> 00:43:29,980
-Mm?
1021
00:43:30,020 --> 00:43:33,190
-Well, I mean, your eyes get
this special sparkle in them
1022
00:43:33,230 --> 00:43:36,150
when you go all historical.
1023
00:43:36,190 --> 00:43:38,450
It's really rather lovely.
1024
00:43:41,370 --> 00:43:43,620
Hmm!
1025
00:43:43,660 --> 00:43:45,750
Historical Society.
1026
00:43:45,790 --> 00:43:47,580
Uh, give me one second.
I'll be right back.
1027
00:43:47,620 --> 00:43:49,170
-Mm-hm.
1028
00:43:56,300 --> 00:43:58,220
What's that?
1029
00:43:58,260 --> 00:44:01,760
-Oh, it's a brochure
from the Historical Society.
1030
00:44:01,800 --> 00:44:04,060
I actually didn't realize
that Nordin University
1031
00:44:04,100 --> 00:44:05,390
had a history doctorate program.
1032
00:44:05,430 --> 00:44:07,020
-Huh!
1033
00:44:07,060 --> 00:44:08,850
Is that something
that you'd be interested in?
1034
00:44:08,890 --> 00:44:10,440
-Yeah.
1035
00:44:10,480 --> 00:44:13,440
You know, being here
has made me realize, like,
1036
00:44:13,480 --> 00:44:15,650
I don't know if I really
want to report on royals
1037
00:44:15,690 --> 00:44:17,150
for my livelihood.
1038
00:44:17,190 --> 00:44:20,280
-Mm-hm, has spending time
with me really been that bad
1039
00:44:20,320 --> 00:44:22,320
that you want to
give up your career?
1040
00:44:22,370 --> 00:44:26,660
-No, no, it's just being here
has ignited passions
1041
00:44:26,700 --> 00:44:29,790
I had forgotten about.
1042
00:44:29,830 --> 00:44:32,920
I don't know.
What about you?
1043
00:44:32,960 --> 00:44:34,130
You know,
all those people tonight,
1044
00:44:34,170 --> 00:44:35,800
I bet they would have
loved to have known
1045
00:44:35,840 --> 00:44:37,300
their Count was amongst them.
1046
00:44:37,340 --> 00:44:39,300
-Ah...
-Maybe it's time to go public?
1047
00:44:39,340 --> 00:44:41,430
-But no, I just--
well, I don't think
1048
00:44:41,470 --> 00:44:44,760
that it's really the right time.
1049
00:44:44,800 --> 00:44:46,810
-Well, when is the right time?
1050
00:44:46,850 --> 00:44:49,890
What are you afraid of?
1051
00:44:49,930 --> 00:44:52,980
-Letting people down.
1052
00:44:53,020 --> 00:44:54,690
-Not possible.
1053
00:44:58,940 --> 00:44:59,990
1054
00:45:00,030 --> 00:45:01,400
-I-- we should...
-Yeah.
1055
00:45:01,450 --> 00:45:03,370
-Yeah, probably go.
-Okay.
1056
00:45:03,410 --> 00:45:08,080
-I don't want to
upset Sir Gustus.
1057
00:45:08,120 --> 00:45:10,000
-Yeah.
-He might blow a gasket.
1058
00:45:10,040 --> 00:45:12,330
1059
00:45:12,370 --> 00:45:15,250
-Okay.
Well, thank you for tonight.
1060
00:45:15,290 --> 00:45:18,510
Goodnight, Your Grace.
1061
00:45:18,550 --> 00:45:19,880
-Goodnight.

00:45:47,410 --> 00:45:49,040
I don't know
how this happened.
1070
00:45:49,080 --> 00:45:50,580
-I'll tell you how it happened.
1071
00:45:50,620 --> 00:45:53,460
Miss Collins isn't
as trustworthy as we thought.
1072
00:45:53,500 --> 00:45:55,290
Legal action
will have to be taken!
1073
00:45:55,330 --> 00:45:57,040
-No, no, no, but see,
she couldn't have taken
1074
00:45:57,090 --> 00:45:58,210
that picture.
1075
00:45:58,250 --> 00:46:01,260
She had just gone
inside that door.
1076
00:46:01,300 --> 00:46:03,010
-Perhaps she isn't
working alone?
1077
00:46:05,300 --> 00:46:07,390
Either way,
the ruse is surely over.
1078
00:46:07,430 --> 00:46:09,680
The Royal Family
will have to come clean.
1079
00:46:09,720 --> 00:46:12,180
-But this was supposed
to be a temporary fix,
1080
00:46:12,230 --> 00:46:14,480
anyway, right?
1081
00:46:14,520 --> 00:46:17,520
Maybe the truth
can come out now.
1082
00:46:17,560 --> 00:46:21,230
I mean, perhaps
this is a good thing.
1083
00:46:21,280 --> 00:46:23,780
-Don't do anything
until I speak to the council.
1084
00:46:27,280 --> 00:46:28,740
Why didn't you tell me
1085
00:46:28,780 --> 00:46:32,540
the guy I've been seeing you
around with is the Count?!
1086
00:46:32,580 --> 00:46:33,620
-Uh...
1087
00:46:36,210 --> 00:46:38,590
Good morning!
1088
00:46:38,630 --> 00:46:41,840
Trina here makes the absolute
best eyeball-skeevers.
1089
00:46:41,880 --> 00:46:43,090
You simply have to try one.
1090
00:46:43,130 --> 00:46:46,180
-Oh!
-This is Tony.
1091
00:46:46,220 --> 00:46:48,430
He's also a journalist.
1092
00:46:48,470 --> 00:46:50,720
He's from
Royal Gossip Entertainment.
1093
00:46:50,760 --> 00:46:52,770
-Yes, and I just found out
that you work
1094
00:46:52,810 --> 00:46:54,140
for the Monarch Insider?
1095
00:46:54,180 --> 00:46:55,770
-Well...
1096
00:46:55,810 --> 00:46:58,310
- Prestigious.
- I'm jealous!
1097
00:46:58,360 --> 00:47:00,020
-Can I speak to you
privately for a second?
1098
00:47:00,070 --> 00:47:01,820
-Uh, sure!
1099
00:47:01,860 --> 00:47:04,150
-What are you doing here?
What's with the picture?
1100
00:47:04,190 --> 00:47:06,150
-I just came to help.
1101
00:47:06,200 --> 00:47:07,740
I figured you could
use the big guns.
1102
00:47:07,780 --> 00:47:09,820
-Help? Help?
No, I don't need your help.
1103
00:47:09,870 --> 00:47:11,030
This violates
the agreement I signed!
1104
00:47:11,080 --> 00:47:12,540
-No, no, no, no.
1105
00:47:12,580 --> 00:47:14,700
There's nothing in your contract
that says your editor
1106
00:47:14,750 --> 00:47:17,580
can't fly in
and snap one little photo.
1107
00:47:17,620 --> 00:47:20,000
Now, I do hope
that you're just pretending
1108
00:47:20,040 --> 00:47:21,590
to work for the Monarch Insider
1109
00:47:21,630 --> 00:47:23,760
and not actually thinking
of jumping ship.
1110
00:47:23,800 --> 00:47:25,340
-I said that
1111
00:47:25,380 --> 00:47:27,130
because I wanted the Count
to think I was legitimate.
1112
00:47:27,180 --> 00:47:29,840
- Ouch! But clever.
1113
00:47:29,890 --> 00:47:32,100
-Oh, what if he thinks
I've led you to him?
1114
00:47:32,140 --> 00:47:33,310
Which, let's be honest,
I kinda did.
1115
00:47:33,350 --> 00:47:34,770
-Come on,
you didn't take the photo!
1116
00:47:34,810 --> 00:47:36,810
And perhaps now
with his anonymity gone,
1117
00:47:36,850 --> 00:47:38,560
he'll be more inclined
to give you more intel.
1118
00:47:38,600 --> 00:47:39,520
-Oh!
1119
00:47:39,560 --> 00:47:42,190
-Now, I really do
have to get back
1120
00:47:42,230 --> 00:47:44,150
and get more of those
eyeball-skizfers.
1121
00:47:44,190 --> 00:47:45,860
They really are to die for.
1122
00:47:45,900 --> 00:47:47,990
1123
00:47:48,030 --> 00:47:50,870
-It's pronounced aeble-skiva!
1124
00:47:50,910 --> 00:47:53,990
I think...
Ugh!
1125
00:47:54,040 --> 00:47:55,790
I need
you both to know
1126
00:47:55,830 --> 00:47:58,330
that I had nothing to do
with that photo being leaked.
1127
00:47:58,370 --> 00:48:00,040
-How can we be sure?
1128
00:48:00,080 --> 00:48:02,420
Well, the article
was leaked by one of those,
1129
00:48:02,460 --> 00:48:03,840
uh, tabloid sites.
1130
00:48:03,880 --> 00:48:07,970
I mean, Charlotte
does work for Monarch Insider.
1131
00:48:08,010 --> 00:48:09,720
-Yeah.
1132
00:48:09,760 --> 00:48:12,350
Someone from RGE, they
found out about the exclusive
1133
00:48:12,390 --> 00:48:14,260
and followed me here.
1134
00:48:14,310 --> 00:48:15,930
I'm so sorry.
I just--
1135
00:48:15,970 --> 00:48:18,850
I know you weren't ready
to be a public Count yet, and...
1136
00:48:18,890 --> 00:48:20,770
-Oh, it's okay, um...
1137
00:48:20,810 --> 00:48:25,030
Don't think I was ever ready
to be any type of Count.
1138
00:48:25,070 --> 00:48:26,530
-Can I still finish the article?
1139
00:48:26,570 --> 00:48:29,200
1140
00:48:29,240 --> 00:48:31,530
Your Grace.
1141
00:48:31,570 --> 00:48:33,700
Your uncle, the King,
1142
00:48:33,740 --> 00:48:37,040
is on the phone demanding
to speak to you at once.
1143
00:48:39,160 --> 00:48:40,370
Address him properly,
1144
00:48:40,420 --> 00:48:42,960
let him guide the topic
of conversation...
1145
00:48:43,000 --> 00:48:46,210
-And make sure to enunciate!
1146
00:48:46,250 --> 00:48:48,210
I'm sure he'll call
the whole thing off;
1147
00:48:48,260 --> 00:48:50,800
it's the sensible thing to do.
1148
00:48:50,840 --> 00:48:53,140
And stand up straight,
for God's sake!
1149
00:48:53,180 --> 00:48:55,890
-It's a phone call!
He can't see me.
1150
00:48:55,930 --> 00:48:57,680
-Ah-ah!
1151
00:49:03,400 --> 00:49:06,070
-Your Uncle--
Highness?
1152
00:49:06,110 --> 00:49:08,490
-Mr. Pederson,
this has gotten out of control.
1153
00:49:08,530 --> 00:49:09,990
-Oh, I agree.
1154
00:49:10,030 --> 00:49:12,410
I never meant for this
to go so far and--
1155
00:49:12,450 --> 00:49:13,700
-My royal advisors,
1156
00:49:13,740 --> 00:49:16,530
the Queen,
we're all very concerned.
1157
00:49:16,580 --> 00:49:18,870
Mr. Pederson,
this is disastrous.
1158
00:49:18,910 --> 00:49:21,080
-Why don't we tell
everyone the truth?
1159
00:49:21,120 --> 00:49:22,170
-Absolutely not!
1160
00:49:23,380 --> 00:49:25,040
That would ruin Sorhagen,
1161
00:49:25,090 --> 00:49:26,420
our entire country!
1162
00:49:26,460 --> 00:49:28,710
-Fine, then...
1163
00:49:28,760 --> 00:49:32,220
I'll make a public statement
as the Count.
1164
00:49:32,260 --> 00:49:35,890
-A formal introduction
would be best.
1165
00:49:35,930 --> 00:49:38,310
We will invite the royal press
to a Julebord
1166
00:49:38,350 --> 00:49:41,100
hosted by you tomorrow night
at the palace.
1167
00:49:41,140 --> 00:49:42,730
-I'll agree to that...
1168
00:49:42,770 --> 00:49:46,940
if my mother
can cater the desserts.
1169
00:49:46,980 --> 00:49:51,110
She does makes
an award-winning krumkake.
1170
00:49:51,150 --> 00:49:53,360
-Do as you please.
1171
00:49:53,410 --> 00:49:55,570
The Queen and I
will see you tomorrow night.
1172
00:49:55,620 --> 00:49:57,620
1173
00:50:00,000 --> 00:50:00,870
1174
00:50:03,580 --> 00:50:06,130
-So... how bad is it?
1175
00:50:06,170 --> 00:50:10,710
-Well, I am now hosting
a Julebord tomorrow night,
1176
00:50:10,760 --> 00:50:12,800
for the King, Queen,
and the royal press.
1177
00:50:12,840 --> 00:50:14,090
-You are?
1178
00:50:14,130 --> 00:50:15,510
-Yes.
1179
00:50:15,550 --> 00:50:17,180
I would love it
if you could attend.
1180
00:50:17,220 --> 00:50:19,010
For support.
1181
00:50:19,060 --> 00:50:21,180
And while there will be
other press there,
1182
00:50:21,220 --> 00:50:24,390
you will still be the only one
doing an exclusive on
1183
00:50:24,440 --> 00:50:26,560
Christmas with the Count.
1184
00:50:26,600 --> 00:50:28,270
-Ah, thank you!
Thank you!
1185
00:50:28,310 --> 00:50:30,400
It's such an honour.
1186
00:50:30,440 --> 00:50:33,110
-Look, I do know
that it wasn't your fault
1187
00:50:33,150 --> 00:50:34,820
that my photo got out.
1188
00:50:34,860 --> 00:50:36,820
-Mm-hm.
1189
00:50:36,870 --> 00:50:40,370
-I know that I really
can trust you.
1190
00:50:40,410 --> 00:50:42,700
-Yeah.
1191
00:50:42,750 --> 00:50:44,370
-Um...
1192
00:50:44,410 --> 00:50:48,130
What are you doing
tomorrow morning?
1193
00:50:48,170 --> 00:50:49,790
-Why?
1194
00:50:56,800 --> 00:50:59,430
I doubt she'd recognize you
in any of those photos.
1195
00:50:59,470 --> 00:51:00,930
-Can't take any chances.
1196
00:51:00,970 --> 00:51:02,930
-Darling,
I'm worried about you.
1197
00:51:02,970 --> 00:51:05,440
This is all getting--
-Out of hand?
1198
00:51:05,480 --> 00:51:07,600
Oh, I'm well aware.
1199
00:51:07,650 --> 00:51:10,230
All because of
a little white lie,
1200
00:51:10,270 --> 00:51:13,230
I could bring ruin to this town,
the Royal Family,
1201
00:51:13,280 --> 00:51:16,110
and everything that you
have worked so hard for.
1202
00:51:16,150 --> 00:51:18,410
-Well, that's a lot of
pressure to put on yourself,
1203
00:51:18,450 --> 00:51:20,620
especially for someone who's
been running from this place
1204
00:51:20,660 --> 00:51:22,080
for so long.
1205
00:51:22,120 --> 00:51:25,290
-Mum, I haven't been
running from here.
1206
00:51:25,330 --> 00:51:26,620
-Really?
1207
00:51:26,670 --> 00:51:28,540
So, what would you call
1208
00:51:28,580 --> 00:51:31,210
constantly travelling
for ten years,
1209
00:51:31,250 --> 00:51:33,710
avoiding all responsibility?
1210
00:51:33,760 --> 00:51:36,050
-Looking for my passion.
1211
00:51:36,090 --> 00:51:37,970
Trying to find a job
that I'm good at
1212
00:51:38,010 --> 00:51:41,470
and that I can make
a difference with.
1213
00:51:41,510 --> 00:51:44,270
Oh, let's just hope that I can
still make a positive impact
1214
00:51:44,310 --> 00:51:46,640
before I leave again.
1215
00:51:46,690 --> 00:51:47,980
Oh, here we go!
1216
00:51:48,020 --> 00:51:50,480
-Ah! Come in!
You must be Charlotte.
1217
00:51:50,520 --> 00:51:52,150
-Good morning.
1218
00:51:52,190 --> 00:51:54,360
Are you two ready to prep
for a Scandinavian feast
1219
00:51:54,400 --> 00:51:55,570
during the Christmas season
1220
00:51:55,610 --> 00:51:57,280
with lots of traditional
food and drinks?
1221
00:51:57,320 --> 00:51:59,860
-You had to Google "Julebord,"
didn't you?
1222
00:51:59,910 --> 00:52:02,200
-I had to lightly refresh
my knowledge.
1223
00:52:02,240 --> 00:52:04,370
-The Count tells me
he wants you to cover
1224
00:52:04,410 --> 00:52:06,870
the making of the krumkake.
1225
00:52:06,910 --> 00:52:09,750
And since being royal
doesn't get you out of helping,
1226
00:52:09,790 --> 00:52:11,750
both of you can grab an apron.
1227
00:52:14,090 --> 00:52:17,170
I have to admit
I'm really not the baking type.
1228
00:52:17,220 --> 00:52:19,430
You know, my mom and I used to
make Christmas cookies,
1229
00:52:19,470 --> 00:52:20,590
but they were always from a box.
1230
00:52:20,640 --> 00:52:22,930
-Krumkake is a classic.
1231
00:52:22,970 --> 00:52:26,890
Crispy wafers rolled into cones
with cream and chocolate.
1232
00:52:26,930 --> 00:52:29,940
The key is to beat
the butter and sugar first,
1233
00:52:29,980 --> 00:52:31,560
then gradually add the eggs.
1234
00:52:31,600 --> 00:52:33,060
-Okay.
1235
00:52:33,110 --> 00:52:34,150
Oh, uh...
1236
00:52:34,190 --> 00:52:35,940
-Ooh, you are
really not good at this.
1237
00:52:35,980 --> 00:52:38,700
-Oh, and pointing it out
really helps my confidence...
1238
00:52:38,740 --> 00:52:40,030
1239
00:52:40,070 --> 00:52:42,530
What-- hmm!
Why are you so good at this?
1240
00:52:42,570 --> 00:52:45,450
-Well, you know,
grew up practicing.
1241
00:52:45,490 --> 00:52:47,950
-Oh, they have baking classes
at boarding school?
1242
00:52:48,000 --> 00:52:49,960
-Yeah, something like that.
1243
00:52:50,000 --> 00:52:51,120
-Oh.
1244
00:52:53,750 --> 00:52:55,380
Wow, look at you.
1245
00:52:55,420 --> 00:52:56,840
The Count of many talents.
1246
00:52:56,880 --> 00:52:59,380
- Oh, you have no idea.
1247
00:52:59,420 --> 00:53:03,390
*
1248
00:53:03,430 --> 00:53:07,220
*
1249
00:53:07,270 --> 00:53:10,230
Always refer to them
as "Your Majesty."
1250
00:53:10,270 --> 00:53:13,190
Do not commence eating
until he commences eating.
1251
00:53:13,230 --> 00:53:16,480
Do not finish
until the King finishes.
1252
00:53:16,520 --> 00:53:18,070
-What if he eats
faster than I do?
1253
00:53:18,110 --> 00:53:20,360
-You will finish
when he finishes.
1254
00:53:27,620 --> 00:53:30,580
How in the world
did we get here?
1255
00:53:30,620 --> 00:53:31,920
You ready?
1256
00:53:31,960 --> 00:53:33,500
-Ready as I'll ever be.
1257
00:53:33,540 --> 00:53:37,460
*
1258
00:53:37,500 --> 00:53:40,550
*
1259
00:53:40,590 --> 00:53:43,050
Your Majesties.
1260
00:53:47,060 --> 00:53:48,720
-Good to see you,
Nephew.
1261
00:53:48,770 --> 00:53:50,810
Good to see you, indeed.
1262
00:53:59,610 --> 00:54:02,740
-Although we respected
and understood
1263
00:54:02,780 --> 00:54:05,370
our nephew's desire
to remain anonymous
1264
00:54:05,410 --> 00:54:08,620
as a way to excel in his
charitable endeavours,
1265
00:54:08,660 --> 00:54:11,830
we must admit we are relieved
1266
00:54:11,870 --> 00:54:15,330
and overjoyed that he has
now become a public figure.
1267
00:54:15,380 --> 00:54:18,590
1268
00:54:21,760 --> 00:54:24,220
Since your photograph
was released,
1269
00:54:24,260 --> 00:54:26,970
we've had more nobles
and dignitaries
1270
00:54:27,010 --> 00:54:29,970
purchasing tickets
the last 48 hours
1271
00:54:30,020 --> 00:54:34,350
than in the last
four Yuletide balls.
1272
00:54:34,390 --> 00:54:36,100
-Wonderful for the nobles.
1273
00:54:39,480 --> 00:54:43,030
Well, if it's ticket sales that
you're really concerned about,
1274
00:54:43,070 --> 00:54:47,030
what don't we open the
Yuletide Ball up to the public?
1275
00:54:47,070 --> 00:54:49,530
-I beg your pardon?
1276
00:54:49,580 --> 00:54:53,000
-I learned from an historian
1277
00:54:53,040 --> 00:54:56,080
that the original Yuletide
was a celebration
1278
00:54:56,120 --> 00:54:57,830
to raise the spirits
of the community
1279
00:54:57,880 --> 00:55:00,130
during the long, dark winter.
1280
00:55:02,960 --> 00:55:04,760
It was something for everyone
1281
00:55:04,800 --> 00:55:07,510
to rally around
and look forward to.
1282
00:55:07,550 --> 00:55:11,350
Think how tourism would soar
if we invited everyone
1283
00:55:11,390 --> 00:55:13,100
to the Yuletide Ball.
1284
00:55:13,140 --> 00:55:15,940
-
1285
00:55:15,980 --> 00:55:19,940
-That is a... unique idea.
1286
00:55:19,980 --> 00:55:23,570
-Perhaps we can discuss this
after the Julebord.
1287
00:55:23,610 --> 00:55:25,530
In private.
1288
00:55:30,910 --> 00:55:33,040
I apologize
if I overstepped tonight.
1289
00:55:33,080 --> 00:55:35,160
-When my brother fell ill,
1290
00:55:35,210 --> 00:55:38,330
I had a meeting with Lars,
my real nephew,
1291
00:55:38,380 --> 00:55:43,630
about what it would mean to him
to become the next Count.
1292
00:55:43,670 --> 00:55:46,380
Before I could get a word out,
he told me he wasn't interested
1293
00:55:46,420 --> 00:55:48,050
in being Count.
1294
00:55:48,090 --> 00:55:50,850
He was in love, and wanted
to have a nice, quiet life
1295
00:55:50,890 --> 00:55:52,890
with a random
American woman.
1296
00:55:52,930 --> 00:55:55,730
-Not random to him, dear.
1297
00:55:55,770 --> 00:55:58,560
-Nevertheless, I was appalled.
1298
00:55:58,600 --> 00:56:00,690
I pleaded with him.
1299
00:56:00,730 --> 00:56:02,980
But alas, for some, love,
1300
00:56:03,020 --> 00:56:05,990
more powerful than country.
1301
00:56:06,030 --> 00:56:08,070
-So I've heard.
-Hmm!
1302
00:56:08,110 --> 00:56:11,240
Since I only have a daughter,
who of course one day
1303
00:56:11,280 --> 00:56:14,910
will become Queen, there are no
other current heirs or relatives
1304
00:56:14,950 --> 00:56:17,330
to bestow
the imperative title upon.
1305
00:56:17,370 --> 00:56:19,710
There has been
a Count here for centuries.
1306
00:56:22,040 --> 00:56:23,800
That is why, Mr. Pederson,
1307
00:56:23,840 --> 00:56:26,260
we need you to continue
to be Count,
1308
00:56:26,300 --> 00:56:28,930
until a better solution
presents itself.
1309
00:56:28,970 --> 00:56:31,930
After all,
now that you're in the public,
1310
00:56:31,970 --> 00:56:33,560
our hands our tied.
1311
00:56:33,600 --> 00:56:35,310
-Uh...
1312
00:56:35,350 --> 00:56:39,230
I want to help all I can,
but, well, I've already done...
1313
00:56:39,270 --> 00:56:41,730
exactly what we agreed upon
for the interview.
1314
00:56:41,770 --> 00:56:43,940
-But you must continue.
1315
00:56:43,980 --> 00:56:46,320
-But I'm leaving
the first of the year.
1316
00:56:46,360 --> 00:56:47,530
I have a new job.
1317
00:56:47,570 --> 00:56:50,280
-Will you at least
host the Yuletide Ball?
1318
00:56:50,320 --> 00:56:52,740
Be front and centre,
so we can stretch the publicity
1319
00:56:52,780 --> 00:56:57,160
as long as possible?
1320
00:56:57,200 --> 00:56:59,370
-I will.
1321
00:56:59,410 --> 00:57:00,790
Yes.
1322
00:57:00,830 --> 00:57:02,540
I will be the host
extraordinaire.
1323
00:57:02,580 --> 00:57:04,250
-
1324
00:57:04,290 --> 00:57:06,550
-If you open up
the ball to everyone.
1325
00:57:06,590 --> 00:57:10,970
And there are a few local
vendors that I suggest we hire.
1326
00:57:11,010 --> 00:57:12,510
-Very well.
1327
00:57:17,350 --> 00:57:19,730
So, tell me everything!
What was the food like?
1328
00:57:19,770 --> 00:57:21,310
What were the King
and Queen like?
1329
00:57:21,350 --> 00:57:23,150
-Okay, so the King and Queen
were very proper.
1330
00:57:23,190 --> 00:57:24,770
The food was delicious.
I ate so much.
1331
00:57:24,810 --> 00:57:26,320
But the best part
1332
00:57:26,360 --> 00:57:28,650
was the Count opened up
the Yuletide Ball to the public!
1333
00:57:28,690 --> 00:57:30,150
-He what?
-Yes!
1334
00:57:30,200 --> 00:57:32,740
-That Count of yours
is pretty great.
1335
00:57:32,780 --> 00:57:34,870
-Oh, he's not...
1336
00:57:34,910 --> 00:57:36,330
he's not mine.
1337
00:57:36,370 --> 00:57:37,830
-Not yet.
1338
00:57:37,870 --> 00:57:39,200
-I can't believe how busy it is!
1339
00:57:39,250 --> 00:57:40,250
-I know!
1340
00:57:40,290 --> 00:57:41,670
Ever since
that picture came out,
1341
00:57:41,710 --> 00:57:43,040
reservations have been up.
1342
00:57:43,080 --> 00:57:45,670
I am so glad that the Count
decided to go public!
1343
00:57:56,810 --> 00:57:59,350
Oh, I don't think I dressed
warmly enough for this.
1344
00:58:02,730 --> 00:58:04,940
-Wear my scarf.
-Oh!
1345
00:58:11,240 --> 00:58:13,320
-That'll keep you warm.
-Thank you.
1346
00:58:15,410 --> 00:58:17,580
-It suits you.
-Mm...
1347
00:58:20,910 --> 00:58:23,500
It's breathtaking.
1348
00:58:23,540 --> 00:58:25,710
-Yes.
1349
00:58:25,750 --> 00:58:28,250
-Did you know the first
reference of the northern lights
1350
00:58:28,290 --> 00:58:31,630
were from cave paintings
30,000 years ago?
1351
00:58:33,720 --> 00:58:35,220
-I did not.
1352
00:58:35,260 --> 00:58:39,510
-Hmm.
Well, now you do.
1353
00:58:39,560 --> 00:58:43,390
-Do you know that you
can't always see them?
1354
00:58:43,440 --> 00:58:45,940
But I had a feeling
they'd be out tonight.
1355
00:58:45,980 --> 00:58:51,570
*
1356
00:58:51,610 --> 00:58:54,030
My father used to
bring me here every winter.
1357
00:58:54,070 --> 00:58:57,070
To me, this is Christmas.
1358
00:58:57,120 --> 00:59:02,080
*
1359
00:59:02,120 --> 00:59:04,500
You know, it's funny, I...
1360
00:59:04,540 --> 00:59:06,120
thought I was coming out here
1361
00:59:06,170 --> 00:59:09,750
to get an interview
with the Count,
1362
00:59:09,790 --> 00:59:13,800
and instead I got the best
Christmas I've ever had.
1363
00:59:16,510 --> 00:59:17,760
Me, too.
1364
00:59:17,800 --> 00:59:23,810
*
1365
00:59:23,850 --> 00:59:27,100
There you are!
1366
00:59:27,150 --> 00:59:28,650
-Oh, I was just, um...
-Yeah.
1367
00:59:28,690 --> 00:59:31,150
-...showing Charlotte the view.
-Mm-hm.
1368
00:59:31,190 --> 00:59:32,820
-Ah, yeah.
Well, Sir Gustus sent me.
1369
00:59:32,860 --> 00:59:34,570
I've been given
direct instructions
1370
00:59:34,610 --> 00:59:37,360
to see Charlotte back
to the B&B.
