they're not.

please tell me you're not
secretly living here.
188

- Um, I was just getting
caught up on some stuff.
189
00:11:08,406 --> 00:11:10,539
- Oh... well, that's the thing
about working in news,
190
00:11:10,582 --> 00:11:12,584
you can never caught up.
It's always breaking.
191

- Yeah, can you get me a coffee
please?

talking?

assistant
195

I've paid my dues and
I'm ready for the next step.

- Oh, you have paid your dues?
Of course.

Because you are 22

Yeah.
- Yeah...
205
00:11:48,098 --> 00:11:49,273

when you had
206
00:11:49,317 --> 00:11:50,884
your first byline at
the Boston Globe.
207

Yeah...

If you are still here then,

Yeah... Yeah, that's what
we'd do. Yup.

It is November 30th, people,
217
00:12:26,006 --> 00:12:28,748
all right? And I am gonna be
running

two full weeks of
Christmas-themed content

some solid pitches...

starting now.

And I'm gonna go to my
go-to girl, Rory!

tech gifts and gadgets.

00:12:46,461 --> 00:12:48,289
- A Christmas tipping guide?

Who in your life should you be
tipping and how much?
227
00:12:50,857 --> 00:12:52,902
Hmm. Well, here's a tip: no!
228
00:12:52,946 --> 00:12:54,861
But I do like the elf ears.
- Really?
229
00:12:54,904 --> 00:12:56,253
'Cause I got a whole bunch more
at home.
230
00:12:56,297 --> 00:12:58,038
Mostly elven, but some vulcan.
- Yeah?
231
00:12:58,081 --> 00:12:59,343
- I'll bring 'em to the
Christmas party.
232
00:12:59,387 --> 00:13:00,780
- Okay, that'd be great.
233
00:13:00,823 --> 00:13:03,565
How 'bout an idea, though,
in the meantime?
234
00:13:03,608 --> 00:13:04,914
What do we got?
235
00:13:04,958 --> 00:13:07,830
Chester! Quit the drinkin',
get to thinkin'.

- There's a new diet,
the Eggnog Christmas Cleanse.
238

- That's disgusting.
239
00:13:14,968 --> 00:13:17,927
- It's basically Keto
and it's delicious.
240
00:13:17,971 --> 00:13:21,017
- It's basically boring.
We ran fad diets last year.
241
00:13:21,061 --> 00:13:22,453
Stevie.
- Top ten Christmas movies
242
00:13:22,497 --> 00:13:24,629
to watch with your family?
- Uh... not bad.
243
00:13:24,673 --> 00:13:25,979
- It's not great a idea.
244
00:13:26,022 --> 00:13:28,808
- Morgana, I gave you those
extra few seconds.

Give me somethin'.
248
00:13:35,553 --> 00:13:38,992
- Gift cards: Good idea?
Or lazy and impersonal?
249
00:13:39,035 --> 00:13:41,211
- Lazy and impersonal.
250
00:13:41,255 --> 00:13:44,040
Guys! These are all derivative,
boring,
251
00:13:44,084 --> 00:13:46,434
uninspiring clickbait -
all of these.

Christmas spirit!

You know what?
Maybe it is time...

come back here

with some fresh pitches...
263
00:14:11,938 --> 00:14:13,026

and I discovered a message
board of jar recipients.
275

These people wanted to thank
whoever gave them

their Christmas Jar.
- From all over the country?

- No, everyone's local.
278
00:14:40,749 --> 00:14:43,099
Yeah, they give away the jars
anonymously in December
279
00:14:43,143 --> 00:14:44,927
to someone going through
a rough time.
280

Kind of amazing, right? Wait.

That's my story!

284
00:14:54,937 --> 00:14:56,243
Yeah it is!
285
00:15:00,029 --> 00:15:03,815
- So... one more time,
from the top.
286
00:15:03,859 --> 00:15:06,862
Just the words: "Christmas Jar"
written on the glass?
287
00:15:06,906 --> 00:15:09,952
No other note?
Nothing on the bag?
288

- Nope.
- And you didn't see anyone
289
00:15:11,823 --> 00:15:13,825
or hear anything?
- Nothing.
290
00:15:13,869 --> 00:15:15,349
- Maybe it's a friend
of your mom's?
291
00:15:15,392 --> 00:15:17,612
- Maybe.
- Or someone who saw the police
292
00:15:17,655 --> 00:15:19,483
at your door
293
00:15:19,527 --> 00:15:21,746

was happening.

- How many other jars do you
think are out there?

- Well, I've only been able
to track 12 stories so far.
297
00:15:28,362 --> 00:15:30,364
Nine years ago was the earliest
one I found,
298
00:15:30,407 --> 00:15:33,149
but I have a feeling I'm only
scratching the surface.
299
00:15:33,193 --> 00:15:34,890
- And do you think it's
the same person
300
00:15:34,934 --> 00:15:35,978
giving out all these jars?
301
00:15:36,022 --> 00:15:37,893
- How is she supposed to know
that?
302
00:15:37,937 --> 00:15:39,503
- Well, I think it must've been
the same person
303
00:15:39,547 --> 00:15:40,852
at the beginning, but...
304
00:15:40,896 --> 00:15:43,159
this whole thing has totally
snowballed
305
00:15:43,203 --> 00:15:44,726
and some people who've found
a jar
306
00:15:44,769 --> 00:15:47,076
have now been inspired to start jars of their own.
307
00:15:47,120 --> 00:15:48,556
- That's what I would do.
308
00:15:48,599 --> 00:15:51,689
- Me too. Only I'd decorate
mine with rhinestones
309
00:15:51,733 --> 00:15:54,040
over purple glitter--
- Oh, come on, Rory!
310
00:15:54,083 --> 00:15:55,955
It's supposed to be
a Christmas Jar!
311
00:15:55,998 --> 00:15:57,869
- So what?
- So what you're describing
312
00:15:57,913 --> 00:15:59,523
is not traditional.
313
00:15:59,567 --> 00:16:01,961
- Uh, says the guy with the
hairy Hobbit-feet slippers.
314
00:16:05,268 --> 00:16:07,183
- Hope...
- Yes?
315
00:16:07,227 --> 00:16:08,619
- Where do you think
this idea came from?
316
00:16:08,663 --> 00:16:10,926
- I don't know. But that's
what I wanna figure out
317
00:16:10,970 --> 00:16:12,493
and write about.
318
00:16:12,536 --> 00:16:15,061
- It's like there's a Christmas
angel out there.
319
00:16:22,242 --> 00:16:23,895
Still got a lot of holes.
320
00:16:23,939 --> 00:16:26,159
- Yeah...
321
00:16:26,202 --> 00:16:29,553
- But it is an intriguing story.
322
00:16:31,903 --> 00:16:33,949
You got two weeks, kid.
323
00:16:33,993 --> 00:16:35,907
Do not mess it up!
- Yeah.
324
00:16:35,951 --> 00:16:37,474
- And still get me my coffee!
325
00:16:37,518 --> 00:16:38,693
- Thank you, Lyle.
326
00:16:39,955 --> 00:16:41,130
Yeah!

from City Buzz.
330
00:16:51,314 --> 00:16:52,924
Yeah, I saw your post about
the Christmas Jar
331
00:16:52,968 --> 00:16:54,361
you found in your mailbox
332
00:16:54,404 --> 00:16:56,232
and I was wondering if I could
interview you?
333
00:16:56,276 --> 00:16:58,278
Yeah, I was wondering if
I could interview you
334
00:16:58,321 --> 00:17:01,585
about the Christmas jar
you found in your mailbox?
335
00:17:01,629 --> 00:17:03,631
Hi, this Hope Jensen
from City Buzz.
336
00:17:05,067 --> 00:17:06,068
Yes.
337
00:17:10,594 --> 00:17:12,379
Oh, I promise it'll take
ten minutes.
338
00:17:12,422 --> 00:17:14,903
Oh, sorry,
can you hang on a second?
339
00:17:14,946 --> 00:17:16,774
Hello? But wouldn't it be nice
340
00:17:16,818 --> 00:17:19,038
to hear an uplifting story
for a change?
341
00:17:19,081 --> 00:17:20,343
I'll buy you lunch.
342
00:17:20,387 --> 00:17:22,563
- Someone say lunch?
343
00:17:22,606 --> 00:17:24,347
- Or a pony!
344
00:17:24,391 --> 00:17:25,740
Yeah!
345
00:17:25,783 --> 00:17:27,046
Hello?
346
00:17:30,136 --> 00:17:31,398
- A pony?
347
00:17:31,441 --> 00:17:32,921
- I could be bribed with a pony.
348
00:17:32,964 --> 00:17:34,662
- Yeah.
349
00:17:34,705 --> 00:17:36,490
- The same people who posted
their story online
350
00:17:36,533 --> 00:17:38,361
won't talk to me.
351
00:17:38,405 --> 00:17:40,276
It seems like they'd rather
keep the whole thing a mystery.
352
00:17:40,320 --> 00:17:42,061
- Keep your chin up.
353
00:17:42,104 --> 00:17:44,802
You don't want one of those
flappy turkey things. Yeah.
354
00:17:44,846 --> 00:17:46,369
- It's called a wattle.
355
00:17:48,067 --> 00:17:50,808
- Actually, the correct term
is a caruncle.
356
00:17:50,852 --> 00:17:53,202
Also known as a dewlap
or a snood.
357
00:17:54,377 --> 00:17:56,118
- Snood?
358
00:17:56,162 --> 00:17:58,033
- Hey, how was your date
last night?
359
00:17:58,077 --> 00:17:59,730
- It was a no-show.
- Oh, I'm so sorry.
360
00:17:59,774 --> 00:18:01,515
- Oh, no, I backed out.
361
00:18:01,558 --> 00:18:03,169
He texted me like five times
yesterday.
362
00:18:03,212 --> 00:18:04,779
I cannot deal with that level
of crazy.
363
00:18:07,347 --> 00:18:09,044
- Hi.
364
00:18:09,088 --> 00:18:11,742
Hey...
- What?
365
00:18:11,786 --> 00:18:13,962
- N-nothing. Just hey. Hi.
366
00:18:14,005 --> 00:18:16,095
- Yeah, you said that.
- I...
367
00:18:16,138 --> 00:18:19,185
I brought you a muffin.
- I'm gluten-free.
368
00:18:19,228 --> 00:18:20,708
- Of course you are.
369
00:18:20,751 --> 00:18:22,318
Uh... yeah, gluten's bad. Uh...
370
00:18:23,580 --> 00:18:25,104
- 'Kay, thanks. Bye, Steve.
371
00:18:27,410 --> 00:18:29,456
- 'Kay. Bye.
372
00:18:37,986 --> 00:18:39,118
- What about Steve?
373
00:18:40,554 --> 00:18:42,904
- I swipe left.
374
00:18:42,947 --> 00:18:45,689
- Oh! "Dear Hope,
I got your email
375
00:18:45,733 --> 00:18:47,474
and would be happy
to do an interview
376
00:18:47,517 --> 00:18:48,910
about the Christmas Jar."
377
00:18:48,953 --> 00:18:50,433
- There you go!
- I did it!
378
00:18:50,477 --> 00:18:52,609
- High-five! Hey!
Yeah!
379
00:18:55,612 --> 00:18:59,181
- Okay. All right, your
homework is due tomorrow.
380
00:18:59,225 --> 00:19:02,402
You better be able to name
all 96 countries.
381
00:19:02,445 --> 00:19:03,664
Hi!
- Hi.
382
00:19:03,707 --> 00:19:06,145
Come on in.
Yeah, have a seat.
383
00:19:07,711 --> 00:19:10,061
- Here?
- Yeah!
384
00:19:10,105 --> 00:19:11,150
- 'Kay.
385
00:19:13,804 --> 00:19:15,066
Okay...
386
00:19:17,243 --> 00:19:18,592
- Oh...
387
00:19:18,635 --> 00:19:21,551
no phones in my classroom.
Mm-mm.
388
00:19:22,900 --> 00:19:24,250
Also, no chewing gum.
389
00:19:25,425 --> 00:19:27,340
- You want me to...?
- I do.
390
00:19:30,865 --> 00:19:33,650
- Sorry.
- That's okay... this time.
391
00:19:40,353 --> 00:19:43,530
I'd love to think
392
00:19:43,573 --> 00:19:45,662
that whoever gave me my jar
393
00:19:45,706 --> 00:19:47,229
will read your article
394
00:19:47,273 --> 00:19:49,100
and know how much it
meant to me.
395
00:19:49,144 --> 00:19:50,450
- I'd like that too.
396
00:19:50,493 --> 00:19:53,148
- I was just a teacher's
assistant back then
397
00:19:53,192 --> 00:19:56,847
and I had just said my
good-byes for the last time.
398
00:19:56,891 --> 00:20:01,069
It's hard for children to
understand budget cuts,
399
00:20:01,112 --> 00:20:03,985
but I did my best
as I always do.
400
00:20:05,334 --> 00:20:08,424
I promised to put the tears
on the inside
401
00:20:08,468 --> 00:20:10,948
as I packed up things
into my bag...
402
00:20:10,992 --> 00:20:13,473
- Right.
- But then my bag...
403
00:20:13,516 --> 00:20:17,041
was really heavy
and that's when I found it.
404
00:20:17,085 --> 00:20:18,782
- Was there a--
- Whoa-oa.
405
00:20:18,826 --> 00:20:20,828
We put our hands up
when we ask questions.
406
00:20:24,135 --> 00:20:25,615
I'm just kidding.
- Oh!
407
00:20:25,659 --> 00:20:27,226
- No, I'm not.
408
00:20:30,185 --> 00:20:32,143
Yes, I am.
Yeah, I'm confused.
409
00:20:32,187 --> 00:20:33,710
What's your question?
410
00:20:33,754 --> 00:20:34,929
- Was there a note with
your jar?
411
00:20:34,972 --> 00:20:36,452
- Yeah, there was, yeah.
412
00:20:36,496 --> 00:20:39,063
The note said,
"Merry Christmas.
413
00:20:39,107 --> 00:20:41,283
You will be missed."
414
00:20:41,327 --> 00:20:43,285
And then came the waterworks.
415
00:20:43,329 --> 00:20:45,200
They were tears of gratitude,
you know?
416
00:20:45,244 --> 00:20:47,158
Does that makes sense?
- Mhmm. Of course. Yeah.
417
00:20:47,202 --> 00:20:48,943
- And the funny thing is,
418
00:20:48,986 --> 00:20:51,511
is that I wasn't really into
Christmas before all of this.
419
00:20:51,554 --> 00:20:53,034
- And now?
420
00:20:53,077 --> 00:20:54,818
- Now, I can't get enough
of it!
421
00:20:56,342 --> 00:20:59,562
These jars are proof that
the magic of Christmas
422
00:20:59,606 --> 00:21:01,347
is real.
423
00:21:01,390 --> 00:21:04,785
Oh, and I started my own
Christmas jars.
424
00:21:04,828 --> 00:21:07,091
Ahh!
425
00:21:07,135 --> 00:21:09,311
But I already gave that
Christmas Jar away last week,
426
00:21:09,355 --> 00:21:11,574
so this one is for next year.
427
00:21:11,618 --> 00:21:13,750
- Wow. Here. I'd love to...
428
00:21:16,057 --> 00:21:17,406
Oh...
- For your jar.
429
00:21:18,668 --> 00:21:21,454
It's contagious, you know.
430
00:21:21,497 --> 00:21:23,847
- Sorry, what is?
- Kindness.
431
00:21:27,111 --> 00:21:29,244
- I know I have this amazing
story on my hands,
432
00:21:29,288 --> 00:21:30,941
but... I still don't know
who's behind it.
433
00:21:30,985 --> 00:21:33,248
- What if they don't want
their story told?
434
00:21:33,292 --> 00:21:35,685
- That's her job, Cynthia.
- You said yourself
435
00:21:35,729 --> 00:21:37,513
this tradition has been
going on for years.
436
00:21:37,557 --> 00:21:39,341
If they wanted to,
don't you think
437
00:21:39,385 --> 00:21:41,038
they would've come forward
by now?
438
00:21:41,082 --> 00:21:42,344
- Well, maybe nobody ever
asked,
439
00:21:42,388 --> 00:21:44,085
and that's what she's doing.
440
00:21:44,128 --> 00:21:46,479
- Not everyone wants credit
for their good deeds.
441
00:21:46,522 --> 00:21:48,611
- Hope, I'm dying to know
who's behind this.
442
00:21:48,655 --> 00:21:50,570
- Yeah, so am I.
443
00:21:50,613 --> 00:21:53,007
And this is the opportunity
I've been searching for.
444
00:21:53,050 --> 00:21:55,357
If I can't deliver,
it's back to coffee-girl land.
445
00:21:55,401 --> 00:21:57,925
- Look, I know that this
is your big break.
446
00:21:57,968 --> 00:22:00,014
I just don't agree
with the approach.
447
00:22:00,057 --> 00:22:02,103
- She's an undercover reporter
trying to crack a story
448
00:22:02,146 --> 00:22:04,018
with a positive spin.
- Mhmm!
449
00:22:04,061 --> 00:22:05,628
This is a win!
450
00:22:05,672 --> 00:22:08,239
Hope, honey, you're gonna knock
this right out the park.
451
00:22:10,981 --> 00:22:13,506
Rory: So um...
where's the red string?
452
00:22:13,549 --> 00:22:15,334
- I was fresh out.
453
00:22:15,377 --> 00:22:17,248
- None of these people know
each other.
454
00:22:17,292 --> 00:22:18,989
- Right.
- What do the numbers
455
00:22:19,033 --> 00:22:20,774
next to their names mean?
456
00:22:20,817 --> 00:22:22,906
- Well, recipient one refers
to the guy
457
00:22:22,950 --> 00:22:24,865
who found the first jar
that I'm aware of,
458
00:22:24,908 --> 00:22:26,562
all the way down to me,
number 51.
459
00:22:28,434 --> 00:22:30,131
- Who's this guy?
460
00:22:30,174 --> 00:22:31,698
I'd like to interview him
if you know what I mean.
461
00:22:31,741 --> 00:22:33,395
Number Seven, come on down!
462
00:22:33,439 --> 00:22:35,963
- Brandi, focus.
- Oh, yeah...
463
00:22:36,006 --> 00:22:37,747
- Okay. Numbers 23 through 51
464
00:22:37,791 --> 00:22:39,836
have all been in the last
four years
465
00:22:39,880 --> 00:22:41,447
indicating there's likely more
than one person responsible
466
00:22:41,490 --> 00:22:43,362
for the gifts.
467
00:22:43,405 --> 00:22:44,972
I thought if I laid it out
like this,
468
00:22:45,015 --> 00:22:46,974
it would start to make more
sense,
469
00:22:47,017 --> 00:22:48,976
I'd see clues or patterns,
but...
470
00:22:49,019 --> 00:22:50,456
it's still not any clearer.
471
00:22:50,499 --> 00:22:52,545
- Hmm...
472
00:22:52,588 --> 00:22:54,373
- Look how you're all the way
out on the outskirts.
473
00:22:54,416 --> 00:22:56,375
Here.
474
00:22:57,463 --> 00:23:00,422
- Where do you come from?
475
00:23:00,466 --> 00:23:02,990
- The last 30 jars are all in
rural areas,
476
00:23:03,033 --> 00:23:05,471
but jars one through eighteen
477
00:23:05,514 --> 00:23:07,995
are all in the inner city.
478
00:23:08,038 --> 00:23:10,084
- So you're saying whoever gave
out the early jars
479
00:23:10,127 --> 00:23:12,173
was likely the same person
and...
480
00:23:12,216 --> 00:23:14,001
might've lived in that
neighborhood.
481
00:23:14,044 --> 00:23:16,090
- Precisely. These other jars
could be the work
482
00:23:16,133 --> 00:23:18,658
of copycat offenders.
- Mm.
483
00:23:18,701 --> 00:23:20,311
- I mean, uh... assailant?
- Uh...
484
00:23:22,618 --> 00:23:24,446
- Thanks, Steve.
485
00:23:24,490 --> 00:23:26,535
- Mr. Investigator.
486
00:23:28,276 --> 00:23:30,844
Well, I always knew there was
a reason I went DC over Marvel.
487
00:23:31,975 --> 00:23:34,630
Detective Comics. Hey?
488
00:23:36,153 --> 00:23:37,677
All: Ooh!
- That was my bad.
489
00:23:37,720 --> 00:23:39,766
Um... I uh...
490
00:23:39,809 --> 00:23:42,290
I thought the brakes were
on the...
491
00:23:42,333 --> 00:23:43,596
- Let's go for lunch.
- Yeah.
492
00:23:43,639 --> 00:23:45,293
- I... I can... I got this!
493
00:23:45,336 --> 00:23:47,251
Don't worry about a thing.
- Sorry, Steve.
494
00:23:48,905 --> 00:23:51,865
- When I first came
to the United States,
495
00:23:51,908 --> 00:23:53,606
I was excited but nervous.
496
00:23:53,649 --> 00:23:55,042
My English wasn't very good
497
00:23:55,085 --> 00:23:57,348
and it was hard for me
to make friends.
498
00:23:57,392 --> 00:23:58,524
I felt like I didn't fit in
499
00:23:58,567 --> 00:24:02,179
and oh... Christmastime
was the worst.
500
00:24:02,223 --> 00:24:03,746
- How so?
501
00:24:03,790 --> 00:24:05,661
- Well, what people don't
realize
502
00:24:05,705 --> 00:24:08,664
is that holiday celebrations
are only fun
503
00:24:08,708 --> 00:24:11,058
for the people that get invited
to them.
504
00:24:11,101 --> 00:24:13,321
Every day, I would just go
to work and come home.
505
00:24:13,364 --> 00:24:15,323
I felt like no one even saw me.
506
00:24:15,366 --> 00:24:16,716
Except for those kids.
507
00:24:16,759 --> 00:24:18,282
- Children have a way
of seeing things.
508
00:24:18,326 --> 00:24:19,719
- Mm...
509
00:24:19,762 --> 00:24:21,372
especially when they stole
my laptop.
510
00:24:21,416 --> 00:24:23,287
- Oh.
- And my bicycle.
511
00:24:23,331 --> 00:24:25,159
And the wreathe on my door.
512
00:24:25,202 --> 00:24:27,596
And stuffed a rotten pumpkin
into my mailbox.
513
00:24:27,640 --> 00:24:29,685
At least I think it was
a pumpkin.
514
00:24:29,729 --> 00:24:31,339
- Ew.
- I can't even...
515
00:24:35,343 --> 00:24:37,954
But right when I was
at my lowest point,
516
00:24:37,998 --> 00:24:39,608
when I was wondering
if this country
517
00:24:39,652 --> 00:24:43,090
was ever going to feel
like home,
518
00:24:43,133 --> 00:24:44,570
I found this jar at my door.
519
00:24:46,049 --> 00:24:47,790
It confused me at first,
520
00:24:47,834 --> 00:24:50,880
but there was a red ribbon
tied on around it
521
00:24:50,924 --> 00:24:52,752
and the word "Christmas Jar"
522
00:24:52,795 --> 00:24:54,405
was on the glass,
523
00:24:54,449 --> 00:24:57,452
so I understood it was a gift.
- Mm.
524
00:24:57,496 --> 00:25:01,195
- Someone actually wanted to do
something nice for me.
525
00:25:01,238 --> 00:25:03,850
That changed everything.
526
00:25:03,893 --> 00:25:07,070
- I don't suppose you ever
found out who gave you the jar?
527
00:25:07,114 --> 00:25:09,290
- I don't know who he is
528
00:25:09,333 --> 00:25:11,684
but my security system caught
the man on video.
529
00:25:13,468 --> 00:25:16,645
Please tell me you still
have that video!
530
00:25:16,689 --> 00:25:18,342
- I think I can find it.
531
00:25:24,914 --> 00:25:26,655
- Who are you?
532
00:25:31,094 --> 00:25:33,096
Lyle: Ope-hey Doe-pey!
How's our story coming along?
533
00:25:33,140 --> 00:25:34,750
- It's great!
Everything's great.
534
00:25:34,794 --> 00:25:36,360
- Don't slow her down.
- Got any advice?
535
00:25:36,404 --> 00:25:38,058
- Yeah. Don't mess it up.
536
00:25:38,101 --> 00:25:40,016
This is exactly the kind of
story I want to run this year,
537
00:25:40,060 --> 00:25:42,845
so I'm really looking forward
to reading it.
538
00:25:42,889 --> 00:25:44,281
- Thanks, Lyle.
539
00:25:48,590 --> 00:25:50,549
- Pssst! Yo!
540
00:25:53,943 --> 00:25:56,337
- I don't know how I'm gonna
figure out who this guy is!
541
00:25:56,380 --> 00:25:59,340
- Come on, girl, you're an
investigative reporter now!
542
00:25:59,383 --> 00:26:01,647
You gotta think like a cop...
- Mm...
543
00:26:01,690 --> 00:26:04,519
- act like a cop,
move like a cop.
544
00:26:04,563 --> 00:26:05,868
Cop like a cop.
545
00:26:07,653 --> 00:26:10,133
- You're brilliant.
546
00:26:10,177 --> 00:26:11,613
- I know.
547
00:26:11,657 --> 00:26:13,310
- It's a 1974 MG.
548
00:26:13,354 --> 00:26:15,138
You can't make out
the license plate,
549
00:26:15,182 --> 00:26:17,619
but there can't be that many of
them registered in the State.
550
00:26:19,882 --> 00:26:21,928
- You know, I offered
to fix your lock,
551
00:26:21,971 --> 00:26:24,452
not help you stalk
some poor guy.
552
00:26:24,495 --> 00:26:26,585
- Well, you know I'm not really
stalking him.
553
00:26:26,628 --> 00:26:29,109
It's for my article.
554
00:26:29,152 --> 00:26:31,111
I know you think Christmas
brings out the worst in people,
555
00:26:31,154 --> 00:26:32,765
but look at this guy!
556
00:26:32,808 --> 00:26:34,201
He gives away jars full
of change
557
00:26:34,244 --> 00:26:36,203
to perfect strangers
down on their luck,
558
00:26:36,246 --> 00:26:38,509
and I wanna write about him.
559
00:26:38,553 --> 00:26:41,643
Come on. It's a compelling
story with a hopeful message
560
00:26:41,687 --> 00:26:43,863
and the world needs more
of this right now.
561
00:26:48,084 --> 00:26:49,825
What exactly do you need
from me?
562
00:26:51,218 --> 00:26:52,567
- There are only three people
in Ohio
563
00:26:52,611 --> 00:26:53,873
with this make and model
of car:
564
00:26:53,916 --> 00:26:55,875
a 78-year-old-woman
who lives in Akron;
565
00:26:55,918 --> 00:26:57,311
a 53-year-old man
who lives in Dayton,
566
00:26:57,354 --> 00:27:00,488
and a 24-year-old guy
who lives here in Columbus,
567
00:27:00,531 --> 00:27:02,229
and he's our guy.
568
00:27:02,272 --> 00:27:03,970
Ian Maxwell.
He's six foot one,
569
00:27:04,013 --> 00:27:05,449
with brown hair, brown eyes
570
00:27:05,493 --> 00:27:06,929
and no priors.
- Scorpio?
571
00:27:06,973 --> 00:27:08,322
- Libra.
- Shoot.
572
00:27:08,365 --> 00:27:09,889
- Officer Webber wouldn't
tell me anything else,
573
00:27:09,932 --> 00:27:11,586
so I had to do my own digging.
574
00:27:11,630 --> 00:27:13,327
- Love me a good cyber-stalking
sesh.
575
00:27:13,370 --> 00:27:16,025
- He graduated three
years ago from Ohio State
576
00:27:16,069 --> 00:27:18,462
and now he works for his
family's furniture
577
00:27:18,506 --> 00:27:20,682
restoration business, which
they run out of their home.
578
00:27:20,726 --> 00:27:22,336
- So you have their address?!
- Yeah!
579
00:27:22,379 --> 00:27:23,598
And guess where he lives?
580
00:27:29,343 --> 00:27:30,823
Right here in the middle
of everyone.
581
00:27:30,866 --> 00:27:32,738
- No... way.
- Yeah!
582
00:27:32,781 --> 00:27:34,565
Problem is, I can't just show
up at his door
583
00:27:34,609 --> 00:27:36,089
and be like: "Hey, I know
you're the guy
584
00:27:36,132 --> 00:27:37,699
behind the Christmas Jars,
can I interview you?"
585
00:27:37,743 --> 00:27:40,180
- Why not? Sometimes
when you meet a new guy,
586
00:27:40,223 --> 00:27:41,703
you gotta pretend
like you're into
587
00:27:41,747 --> 00:27:43,487
the same stupid stuff that
he's into.
588
00:27:43,531 --> 00:27:45,359
- Brandi, that's really,
really bad advice.
589
00:27:45,402 --> 00:27:46,926
- Hear me out.
590
00:27:46,969 --> 00:27:48,492
Show up with an old piece
of furniture,
591
00:27:48,536 --> 00:27:50,364
you talk about your mutual love
of sandpaper and polish
592
00:27:50,407 --> 00:27:52,192
and whatever else that he does,
593
00:27:52,235 --> 00:27:54,107
and then boom! Done. You're in.
594
00:27:54,150 --> 00:27:55,195
- I don't know.
595
00:28:00,591 --> 00:28:02,289
What about this?
596
00:28:02,332 --> 00:28:04,378
- I've already got one
of those.
597
00:28:04,421 --> 00:28:06,336
- No you don't!
I'm getting it.
598
00:28:06,380 --> 00:28:07,816
- For what?
599
00:28:07,860 --> 00:28:10,036
- Duh! Masquerade Mondays.
600
00:28:10,079 --> 00:28:12,255
- That's so not a thing.
601
00:28:12,299 --> 00:28:14,388
Not yet.
602
00:28:14,431 --> 00:28:16,042
Ooh...
603
00:28:22,483 --> 00:28:25,704
This is what I've been
looking for.
604
00:28:25,747 --> 00:28:28,358
- I can't believe they still
want $75 bucks for this thing.
605
00:28:29,620 --> 00:28:31,231
- I think it's perfect.
606
00:28:31,274 --> 00:28:33,320
- I think it's old.
- Hmm.
607
00:28:36,627 --> 00:28:38,194
Would you take fifty bucks
608
00:28:38,238 --> 00:28:40,240
for this old... broken desk?
609
00:28:42,808 --> 00:28:44,853
Well, this is a gorgeous antique
610
00:28:44,897 --> 00:28:46,550
mahogany ladies writing desk
611
00:28:46,594 --> 00:28:50,206
with green leather inset
from the Regency Era.
612
00:28:50,250 --> 00:28:51,817
- So... fifty bucks?
613
00:28:53,340 --> 00:28:55,777
- You got it.
- Yes!
614
00:28:55,821 --> 00:28:57,518
Uh, is there anything else
you can tell me about it?
615
00:28:57,561 --> 00:29:01,391
- There's a locked drawer.
No key, unfortunately.
616
00:29:01,435 --> 00:29:04,003
- And what about all
the damage?
617
00:29:04,046 --> 00:29:06,005
- Oh ladies...
618
00:29:06,048 --> 00:29:08,442
what do you think you're gonna
look like in 200 years?
619
00:29:08,485 --> 00:29:09,791
- Fair point.
620
00:29:09,835 --> 00:29:19,670
♪♪♪
621
00:29:19,714 --> 00:29:27,635
♪♪♪
622
00:29:40,387 --> 00:29:41,649
Okay...
623
00:29:45,740 --> 00:29:47,960
Okay...
624
00:29:50,353 --> 00:29:52,225
- Hi there!
- Oh!
625
00:29:52,268 --> 00:29:54,183
- You must be Hope.
- I am.
626
00:29:54,227 --> 00:29:56,055
- I'm Adam and this is
my daughter, Hannah.
627
00:29:56,098 --> 00:29:57,230
Hey, w-w-wait.
628
00:29:57,273 --> 00:29:58,840
Let me give you a hand there.
- Okay.
629
00:29:58,884 --> 00:30:01,800
- I'll give you
a hand.
630
00:30:01,843 --> 00:30:04,498
Oh, oh, ah! My hand! My hand!
- Oh! Okay!
631
00:30:04,541 --> 00:30:06,848
- Uh, I'm just kidding.
632
00:30:06,892 --> 00:30:08,676
- Oh, here.
- You got it?
633
00:30:08,719 --> 00:30:09,808
- Yes.
- All right.
634
00:30:09,851 --> 00:30:11,418
- There we go.
- Okay.
635
00:30:11,461 --> 00:30:13,028
- There you go, just...
- Take your time.
636
00:30:13,072 --> 00:30:14,900
- Watch the legs there.
- Take your time.
637
00:30:14,943 --> 00:30:17,032
- Oh!
- Ahh...
638
00:30:17,076 --> 00:30:20,166
What did this poor desk do
to deserve this?
639
00:30:20,209 --> 00:30:22,603
- It was, it was my
grandmother's.
640
00:30:22,646 --> 00:30:25,388
I'm afraid it's been
a little neglected.
641
00:30:25,432 --> 00:30:27,086
- Where'd your grandmother
get it from?
642
00:30:27,129 --> 00:30:29,610
- Oh... um...
643
00:30:29,653 --> 00:30:31,351
I think it was,
it was a wedding gift from...
644
00:30:31,394 --> 00:30:33,179
from her father.
645
00:30:33,222 --> 00:30:34,745
- Uh-huh.
646
00:30:34,789 --> 00:30:36,269
- He didn't want her
to stop writing
647
00:30:36,312 --> 00:30:37,444
just because she got married.
648
00:30:37,487 --> 00:30:38,880
- Wow. What did she write?
649
00:30:38,924 --> 00:30:41,056
- What did she write...?
650
00:30:41,100 --> 00:30:42,449
Um...
651
00:30:42,492 --> 00:30:45,800
Um...
652
00:30:45,844 --> 00:30:49,064
Uh, you know, letters, poems,
short stories.
653
00:30:49,108 --> 00:30:50,936
Yeah. That sort of thing.
654
00:30:54,940 --> 00:30:56,463
- How romantic.
655
00:30:56,506 --> 00:30:58,378
- Okay, let's get 'er in there
- All right.
656
00:30:58,421 --> 00:30:59,945
- And uh...
- Oh, I got it.
657
00:30:59,988 --> 00:31:01,468
- Oh, thank you.
658
00:31:01,511 --> 00:31:02,686
Okay.
659
00:31:04,950 --> 00:31:07,343
- Yeah. Spin center.
- Okay, okay.
660
00:31:08,910 --> 00:31:10,085
Bring it closer...
- Oh!
661
00:31:10,129 --> 00:31:12,435
to the table.
662
00:31:12,479 --> 00:31:14,481
- Hope, make yourself at home,
okay?
663
00:31:14,524 --> 00:31:16,439
- All right,
careful where you step.
664
00:31:16,483 --> 00:31:18,789
Dad's always leaving sharp
pieces of wood
665
00:31:18,833 --> 00:31:21,183
and hazardous materials
kicking around.
666
00:31:21,227 --> 00:31:23,620
- Hey, it's part of
the artistic process.
667
00:31:23,664 --> 00:31:25,884
- Oh, is that what we're
calling it now?
668
00:31:25,927 --> 00:31:27,798
He's just messy.
669
00:31:27,842 --> 00:31:29,235
- Two hats hanging on
a hat rack.
670
00:31:29,278 --> 00:31:31,672
One said, "You stay here,
671
00:31:31,715 --> 00:31:33,282
I'll go on a head."
672
00:31:33,326 --> 00:31:35,719
- Oh, don't encourage
his bad jokes.
673
00:31:35,763 --> 00:31:37,373
- You love them.
674
00:31:37,417 --> 00:31:39,071
- Nope.
675
00:31:39,114 --> 00:31:41,029
- So how many of you are in
the family business?
676
00:31:41,073 --> 00:31:43,640
- Well, technically, it's just
me, my dad and my brother,
677
00:31:43,684 --> 00:31:45,860
but really everybody lends
a hand.
678
00:31:45,904 --> 00:31:48,167
- It looks like you have a lot
of other jobs on the go.
679
00:31:48,210 --> 00:31:49,951
- Yeah, but that's normal
for us.
680
00:31:49,995 --> 00:31:52,562
- In fact, I have sort of have
a strange favor to ask.
681
00:31:54,782 --> 00:31:57,002
I'm a journalism major
at Ohio State
682
00:31:57,045 --> 00:31:58,829
and for my business writing
class,
683
00:31:58,873 --> 00:32:01,571
I have to write a report about
a local, family-owned business.
684
00:32:03,704 --> 00:32:04,835
I was wondering
if you would let me
685
00:32:04,879 --> 00:32:06,402
write about Maxwell
Restoration?
686
00:32:06,446 --> 00:32:08,883
- Oh, I don't know. We like
to keep a low-profile.
687
00:32:08,927 --> 00:32:11,973
- Oh, come on. It might be good
for publicity.
688
00:32:12,017 --> 00:32:13,714
- Everyone else in my class
689
00:32:13,757 --> 00:32:15,977
is either writing about
a family-owned restaurant,
690
00:32:16,021 --> 00:32:19,111
a dry cleaners,
or a funeral home,
691
00:32:19,154 --> 00:32:21,896
and this would just be way more
interesting than all of those.
692
00:32:21,940 --> 00:32:24,464
- I don't know. A funeral home
sounds pretty interesting
693
00:32:24,507 --> 00:32:27,336
and spooky!
694
00:32:27,380 --> 00:32:30,122
- I promise I would stay out
of your way.
695
00:32:31,906 --> 00:32:33,429
- Okay, my little elves.
696
00:32:33,473 --> 00:32:35,083
Who's ready to put down
their mallets
697
00:32:35,127 --> 00:32:36,867
and take a break from
the workshop?
698
00:32:36,911 --> 00:32:38,957
- Hope, this is my wife Lauren.
699
00:32:39,000 --> 00:32:40,480
Lauren, Hope.
700
00:32:40,523 --> 00:32:44,049
Hope dropped off this beautiful
mahogany desk, and um...
701
00:32:44,092 --> 00:32:45,876
she's gonna write something
about our business
702
00:32:45,920 --> 00:32:47,530
for a school assignment.
What do you think?
703
00:32:47,574 --> 00:32:49,358
- Oh, that's exciting!
704
00:32:49,402 --> 00:32:52,057
Uh, Hope, would you like
to join us for lunch?
705
00:32:52,100 --> 00:32:53,754
- Oh, no, no. I...
I couldn't possibly.
706
00:32:53,797 --> 00:32:54,885
It's just...
707
00:32:57,410 --> 00:32:59,455
Wait. What is that delicious
smell?
708
00:32:59,499 --> 00:33:01,936
- Come on, find out, huh?
709
00:33:04,460 --> 00:33:07,507
- So, Hope, you said you were
in your senior year?
710
00:33:07,550 --> 00:33:10,292
What's your plans after you
graduate? Do you have any?
711
00:33:10,336 --> 00:33:12,903
- Well, I've always wanted
to be a journalist.
712
00:33:12,947 --> 00:33:15,341
- Mm. Alison is gonna love you.
713
00:33:15,384 --> 00:33:17,038
- Sorry, who's Alison?
- My little sister.
714
00:33:17,082 --> 00:33:18,257
- She writes all these stories,
715
00:33:18,300 --> 00:33:20,172
but she never shares it
with us.
716
00:33:20,215 --> 00:33:21,912
- I used to be like that.
717
00:33:21,956 --> 00:33:23,218
Sharing what you've written
is like
718
00:33:23,262 --> 00:33:24,741
letting someone take a peek
into your soul.
719
00:33:24,785 --> 00:33:26,047
That's never easy.
720
00:33:26,091 --> 00:33:27,396
- Well, you can tell you're
a writer.
721
00:33:27,440 --> 00:33:29,659
Never put words together
like that.
722
00:33:29,703 --> 00:33:31,835
- Or sentences.
Or coherent thoughts.
723
00:33:31,879 --> 00:33:33,359
- Oh, look who it is!
724
00:33:33,402 --> 00:33:35,752
Just in time for a free lunch
like always.
725
00:33:35,796 --> 00:33:37,406
- As a matter of fact,
I already ate.
726
00:33:37,450 --> 00:33:39,365
But you go ahead and enjoy
that green thing
727
00:33:39,408 --> 00:33:41,019
stuck in your teeth.
728
00:33:41,062 --> 00:33:42,542
Lauren: Ian, this is Hope.
729
00:33:42,585 --> 00:33:44,152
She's gonna be writing
a profile
730
00:33:44,196 --> 00:33:47,373
on Maxwell Restorations
for her business writing class.
731
00:33:47,416 --> 00:33:49,549
- Really? You couldn't you find
a more interesting company
732
00:33:49,592 --> 00:33:51,290
to write about?
- Hey!
733
00:33:51,333 --> 00:33:53,161
- He's just jealous 'cause
we get all the thank yous
734
00:33:53,205 --> 00:33:54,728
and he gets all the bills.
735
00:33:54,771 --> 00:33:56,425
- Somebody had to take care
of that bookkeeping debacle.
736
00:33:56,469 --> 00:33:59,080
- I overpaid a supplier once!
- By $2000.00.
737
00:33:59,124 --> 00:34:01,082
- I'm a giving guy!
738
00:34:01,126 --> 00:34:03,998
- Mom, I said I already ate.
- It's a small bowl, so...
739
00:34:04,042 --> 00:34:06,348
- Hope, here's a tip. If my mom
asks if you're hungry,
740
00:34:06,392 --> 00:34:08,089
you might as well say yes
741
00:34:08,133 --> 00:34:09,569
because she's gonna feed you
anyway.
742
00:34:09,612 --> 00:34:12,441
- Always arrive
with an appetite.
743
00:34:12,485 --> 00:34:15,140
- That actually sounds
really nice.
744
00:34:15,183 --> 00:34:17,229
Adam: Okay, you ready?
Ian: For what?
745
00:34:17,272 --> 00:34:19,666
- Come on, you know. Come on!
- Oh boy...
746
00:34:19,709 --> 00:34:21,233
- All right, here we go.
One, two, three.
747
00:34:21,276 --> 00:34:23,061
Yup!
748
00:34:28,109 --> 00:34:29,371
- Ta-daaaaaaaaaaaa!
749
00:34:29,415 --> 00:34:31,243
- Hey, what're you doing?!
750
00:34:40,687 --> 00:34:42,384
- So... what's Ian like?
751
00:34:43,820 --> 00:34:45,518
- He seems nice.
752
00:34:45,561 --> 00:34:48,086
They all do.
- Is he cute?
753
00:34:48,129 --> 00:34:49,957
- I'm trying to work.
754
00:34:50,000 --> 00:34:51,698
- You do think he's cute!
755
00:34:51,741 --> 00:34:54,744
- No, I...
look, so what if I do?
756
00:34:54,788 --> 00:34:56,920
That doesn't change the fact
that I'm there on assignment.
757
00:34:58,096 --> 00:34:59,532
- Uh-huh.
758
00:34:59,575 --> 00:35:02,056
And I'm still here ordering
punch and elf costumes
759
00:35:02,100 --> 00:35:04,885
for the office party
all by myself.
760
00:35:05,973 --> 00:35:07,148
- Sorry.
761
00:35:11,196 --> 00:35:12,719
What's with the mistletoe?
762
00:35:12,762 --> 00:35:15,678
- Carry it with you at all
times. Works like a charm.
763
00:35:17,202 --> 00:35:18,159
You're welcome.
764
00:35:18,203 --> 00:35:29,388
♪♪♪
765
00:35:31,825 --> 00:35:33,653
- It's an antique ladies
writing desk
766
00:35:33,696 --> 00:35:35,698
from the Regency era.
- Exactly.
767
00:35:35,742 --> 00:35:37,526
- It's the kind of desk
you can imagine Jane Austen
768
00:35:37,570 --> 00:35:39,659
probably used to sit at
to write her novels.
769
00:35:39,702 --> 00:35:41,400
- You read Jane Austen?
770
00:35:41,443 --> 00:35:43,271
- Well, no, no. I just know
the time period
771
00:35:43,315 --> 00:35:45,143
she wrote her books.
- Mm...
772
00:35:45,186 --> 00:35:47,623
- Don't lie. Ian loves sappy
love stories.
773
00:35:47,667 --> 00:35:49,408
- I do not!
774
00:35:49,451 --> 00:35:51,540
- Everybody likes a good love
story.
775
00:35:51,584 --> 00:35:53,107
My son's a romantic.
776
00:35:53,151 --> 00:35:56,066
It's amazing that
he's still single.
777
00:35:56,110 --> 00:35:57,677
What about you, Hope? Hm?
778
00:35:57,720 --> 00:36:00,245
Are you single?
- Dad!
779
00:36:00,288 --> 00:36:01,942
- What?
780
00:36:01,985 --> 00:36:05,075
- Um, yeah.
- Really? Hm!
781
00:36:05,119 --> 00:36:07,208
I would've thought guys would
be lining up around the block
782
00:36:07,252 --> 00:36:08,818
to go out with you.
- Dad!
783
00:36:08,862 --> 00:36:10,298
What?
784
00:36:11,691 --> 00:36:13,693
- You know, you should give Ian
your phone number.
785
00:36:13,736 --> 00:36:16,348
- Whoa! 'Kay, that's enough.
- What?
786
00:36:16,391 --> 00:36:18,828
What? You know,
it's just in case,
787
00:36:18,872 --> 00:36:21,179
I mean, an interesting piece
comes in and...
788
00:36:21,222 --> 00:36:23,137
you're not here.
- Right.
789
00:36:23,181 --> 00:36:25,357
- Huh?
- Okay.
790
00:36:25,400 --> 00:36:27,185
Thanks, Dad.
791
00:36:35,454 --> 00:36:37,804
This piece is stunning.
792
00:36:37,847 --> 00:36:40,328
- You know, each piece
has a story to tell.
793
00:36:40,372 --> 00:36:43,157
Our job is to see to it
that their stories carry on.
794
00:36:44,463 --> 00:36:46,639
- Do you mind if I record
a few questions?
795
00:36:46,682 --> 00:36:48,249
- Yeah, okay.
796
00:36:48,293 --> 00:36:49,946
- So how do you divvy up
the workload?
797
00:36:49,990 --> 00:36:51,470
- Well, that's...
798
00:36:51,513 --> 00:36:53,211
That's kind of all over
the place.
799
00:36:53,254 --> 00:36:54,647
No real order.
800
00:36:54,690 --> 00:36:57,345
Used to be that Hannah
was my apprentice.
801
00:36:57,389 --> 00:36:58,738
I've been teaching her
everything I know
802
00:36:58,781 --> 00:37:00,566
since she was 8-years-old.
803
00:37:00,609 --> 00:37:03,612
Learned a lot that day.
804
00:37:03,656 --> 00:37:06,485
These days, I'm the one
learning from her.
805
00:37:08,313 --> 00:37:10,619
- How did this all get started?
806
00:37:10,663 --> 00:37:14,275
- Well, it was, it was when
I was in college.
807
00:37:14,319 --> 00:37:16,059
I needed to make a little extra
money,
808
00:37:16,103 --> 00:37:17,539
so I started this business
809
00:37:17,583 --> 00:37:20,238
and now, 36 years later,
I'm still at it.
810
00:37:21,717 --> 00:37:24,285
And frankly, it's the only
thing I ever wanted to do.
811
00:37:25,765 --> 00:37:27,897
What would you say is
your company's purpose,
812
00:37:27,941 --> 00:37:29,116
or mission statement?
813
00:37:29,159 --> 00:37:30,726
- Oh, that's easy.
814
00:37:30,770 --> 00:37:33,686
We make damaged furniture
beautiful again.
815
00:37:36,166 --> 00:37:38,125
- Clear and simple.
- Yeah, sure is.
816
00:37:38,168 --> 00:37:39,822
You can fix just about anything
817
00:37:39,866 --> 00:37:42,085
if you apply enough love
and elbow grease.
818
00:37:42,129 --> 00:37:44,131
- Hmm.
819
00:37:44,174 --> 00:37:45,785
- Mom, I'm thirsty.
820
00:37:45,828 --> 00:37:47,961
- Hi, Thirsty! I'm Grandpa.
- Girls:
821
00:37:48,004 --> 00:37:49,179
- Ask grandma to get you
a drink.
822
00:37:49,223 --> 00:37:50,833
- I can't find her.
823
00:37:50,877 --> 00:37:52,879
- Honey, my hands are all
covered in stain.
824
00:37:52,922 --> 00:37:54,968
- Hey, I can get it for him.
- Aw, thanks, Hope.
825
00:37:55,011 --> 00:37:56,535
There's a new bottle of apple
juice in the fridge.
826
00:37:57,884 --> 00:38:01,235
- So how old are you,
Jake?
827
00:38:01,279 --> 00:38:03,672
- Six.
- Six!
828
00:38:03,716 --> 00:38:05,892
Are you driving yet?
- Nope!
829
00:38:05,935 --> 00:38:07,676
- Do you have a girlfriend?
- No!
830
00:38:07,720 --> 00:38:10,766
Do you have a boyfriend?
- No.
831
00:38:10,810 --> 00:38:12,986
Where are the cups?
832
00:38:13,029 --> 00:38:14,640
- Just over there.
833
00:38:14,683 --> 00:38:15,902
- Thank you.
834
00:38:21,081 --> 00:38:23,213
So you must be excited
about Christmas!
835
00:38:23,257 --> 00:38:24,650
- I am!
- Yeah, me too.
836
00:38:25,912 --> 00:38:28,523
Hey, can you tell me what
that jar is?
837
00:38:28,567 --> 00:38:30,699
- Oh, it's the Christmas Jar!
838
00:38:30,743 --> 00:38:33,136
- The Christmas Jar?
What's that?
839
00:38:33,180 --> 00:38:35,487
- I'm not supposed to say.
840
00:38:35,530 --> 00:38:36,836
- How come?
841
00:38:40,492 --> 00:38:43,016
So what're you gonna ask Santa
for Christmas?
842
00:38:43,059 --> 00:38:44,931
- For Sammy.
843
00:38:44,974 --> 00:38:46,889
- Who's Sammy?
- He's lost.
844
00:38:48,978 --> 00:38:50,415
- Oh no...
845
00:38:50,458 --> 00:38:53,461
- Can we go and play now?
- Sure.
846
00:38:55,681 --> 00:38:57,900
- You missed a spot there.
- Oy.
847
00:38:57,944 --> 00:38:59,598
- Oh, thanks, Hope.
- He's adorable.
848
00:39:00,686 --> 00:39:02,165
Who's Sammy?
849
00:39:03,689 --> 00:39:06,126
He said the only thing he wants
for Christmas is Sammy.
850
00:39:06,169 --> 00:39:07,954
Who's that?
851
00:39:07,997 --> 00:39:10,435
- That was his Teddy Bear.
They were inseparable,
852
00:39:10,478 --> 00:39:11,914
but then we lost him
last summer
853
00:39:11,958 --> 00:39:13,786
coming back from visiting
my in-laws.
854
00:39:13,829 --> 00:39:15,744
- We've been looking everywhere
for a replacement,
855
00:39:15,788 --> 00:39:17,398
but Sammy was a gift to Jake
when he was born
856
00:39:17,442 --> 00:39:19,400
and no one seems to be making
them anymore.
857
00:39:19,444 --> 00:39:21,097
- Yeah, he's been heartbroken
ever since.
858
00:39:21,141 --> 00:39:22,447
- Poor little guy.
859
00:39:22,490 --> 00:39:24,405
- Uh, Ian just found out
about another job.
860
00:39:24,449 --> 00:39:26,015
- Ah.
861
00:39:26,059 --> 00:39:27,452
- Y-you should probably go
with him to see
862
00:39:27,495 --> 00:39:29,497
how the other side
of the business works.
863
00:39:29,541 --> 00:39:31,456
- I'm just loading a piece
of old furniture
864
00:39:31,499 --> 00:39:33,153
into my truck, Dad.
- Exactly.
865
00:39:33,196 --> 00:39:34,633
It's all part of the process.
866
00:39:34,676 --> 00:39:36,722
She should see everything.
867
00:39:38,376 --> 00:39:40,116
- I don't have to go if--
- No, no, it's...it's fine.
868
00:39:40,160 --> 00:39:41,988
I'd love for you to write
about me.
869
00:39:42,031 --> 00:39:44,556
Not-not not about me,

who your birth mother was?

I've always wondered
948
00:43:43,838 --> 00:43:46,449
what could've been going on
in her life that was so awful
949
00:43:46,493 --> 00:43:49,801
that abandoning me seemed like
a better option.
950
00:43:49,844 --> 00:43:52,238
- Do you wanna find her?
951
00:43:52,281 --> 00:43:53,543

But every Christmas Eve,
953
00:43:55,067 --> 00:43:56,938
my mom and I would sit in
our booth at Chuck's

00:43:56,982 --> 00:43:58,244
and have a big dinner
955
00:43:58,287 --> 00:43:59,680

she found me.

957
00:44:01,116 --> 00:44:02,465

if maybe my birth mom
would show up too,
959
00:44:05,425 --> 00:44:08,384

- Did she ever come back?
960
00:44:08,428 --> 00:44:10,125
- I don't think so.
961
00:44:10,169 --> 00:44:12,693
Every time the door would open
with a jingle,
962
00:44:12,737 --> 00:44:14,652
I'd search all the faces
963
00:44:14,695 --> 00:44:16,610
and see if anyone
was looking for me.
964
00:44:16,654 --> 00:44:18,220
But... after all these years,
965
00:44:18,264 --> 00:44:19,874
I've stopped searching.
966
00:44:22,050 --> 00:44:23,704
- I'm so sorry, honey.
967
00:44:23,748 --> 00:44:25,227
- Oh, don't be.
968
00:44:25,271 --> 00:44:28,274
I had the best mom
I could've asked for.
969

- What about your grandmother?
Is she still alive?
970
00:44:30,232 --> 00:44:32,278
- Hm?
971
00:44:32,321 --> 00:44:34,236
- Your grandmother, the writer.
972
00:44:35,716 --> 00:44:37,109
- The one that gave you
the desk!

00:44:40,547 --> 00:44:42,244
Mm.

00:44:42,288 --> 00:44:44,725
Mm-mm. Mm.
976
00:44:44,769 --> 00:44:46,684
- Why don't we give poor Hope
a break?
977
00:44:46,727 --> 00:44:49,077
- I think that's a good idea.
- Who's ready for dessert?
978
00:44:49,121 --> 00:44:50,992
- Oh, I don't know.
- Yeah.
979
00:44:51,036 --> 00:44:52,733
Yes. I love you.

Hannah: Dad!

00:45:10,533 --> 00:45:13,058
- I got cake! Who wants cake?!
983
00:45:13,101 --> 00:45:14,929
This is a great photo.
984
00:45:14,973 --> 00:45:16,452
How did you two meet?
985
00:45:16,496 --> 00:45:19,412
- Well, I was 17,
Lauren and her family
986
00:45:19,455 --> 00:45:21,762
moved down the street from us.
987
00:45:21,806 --> 00:45:23,459
Prettiest girl
in the neighborhood.
988
00:45:23,503 --> 00:45:25,853
I used to see her waiting
for the bus
989
00:45:25,897 --> 00:45:27,681
or walking her dog,
990
00:45:27,725 --> 00:45:29,204
but I could never muster
the courage
991
00:45:29,248 --> 00:45:30,945
to go and say hi to her.
992
00:45:30,989 --> 00:45:33,469
- And then one day
my dog got away from me
993
00:45:33,513 --> 00:45:35,471
when she took off
after a squirrel
994
00:45:35,515 --> 00:45:37,299
and Adam helped me
get her back.
995
00:45:37,343 --> 00:45:38,605
- Yup.
996
00:45:38,648 --> 00:45:40,825
- How did you know he was
the one?
997
00:45:40,868 --> 00:45:42,827
- I just knew.
998
00:45:42,870 --> 00:45:45,438
Or at least my heart knew.
999
00:45:45,481 --> 00:45:47,832
- Gonna make me cry.
- I know!
1000
00:45:47,875 --> 00:45:50,008
- Baby...
- I know. I know.
1001
00:45:51,749 --> 00:45:53,489
- So I was getting Jake
a drink
1002
00:45:53,533 --> 00:45:55,274
and he called that jar
on your shelf
1003
00:45:55,317 --> 00:45:57,102
your Christmas Jar.
1004
00:45:59,278 --> 00:46:00,975
What's that all about?
1005
00:46:04,979 --> 00:46:06,764
- Uh...
1006
00:46:06,807 --> 00:46:10,202
It's just a place where we
throw our change, that's all.
1007
00:46:11,551 --> 00:46:13,727
- Oh, come on, Dad,
tell the story!
1008
00:46:13,771 --> 00:46:15,120
- What story?
1009
00:46:21,866 --> 00:46:25,870
Okay. Lauren and I were in
our early twenties,
1010
00:46:25,913 --> 00:46:27,741
newly married
and completely broke,
1011
00:46:27,785 --> 00:46:30,483
and, um, Christmas was
just around the corner.
1012
00:46:30,526 --> 00:46:33,051
And, you know, I wanted
to buy something for my...
1013
00:46:33,094 --> 00:46:34,356
new beloved bride.
1014
00:46:34,400 --> 00:46:36,663
So that November,
we had this idea
1015
00:46:36,706 --> 00:46:39,492
to maybe throw whatever
change we had into a jar
1016
00:46:39,535 --> 00:46:40,972
and see what we could save up.
1017
00:46:41,015 --> 00:46:44,410
- So I washed out an empty
raspberry jam container
1018
00:46:44,453 --> 00:46:47,195
and wrote the words:
"Christmas Jar"
1019
00:46:47,239 --> 00:46:48,980
across the glass.
- Yeah, and we put the jar
1020
00:46:49,023 --> 00:46:50,329
right in the middle
of the table
1021
00:46:50,372 --> 00:46:52,331
So we could see it all
the time
1022
00:46:52,374 --> 00:46:54,550
and - what? - by Christmas
we'd saved $28.
1023
00:46:54,594 --> 00:46:56,726
- Which didn't go far.
- No, it didn't.
1024
00:46:56,770 --> 00:46:59,512
- But it was something, right?
- It's true. It was something.
1025
00:46:59,555 --> 00:47:01,775
So the next year we started
earlier, like, I think,
1026
00:47:01,819 --> 00:47:03,951
Halloween or something.
- It was Labor Day.
1027
00:47:03,995 --> 00:47:05,823
- No, I think was Halloween.
- It was Labor Day.
1028
00:47:05,866 --> 00:47:07,607
It was... It was Labor Day.
1029
00:47:07,650 --> 00:47:10,784
- Well, I got this bigger jar
and we promised ourselves
1030
00:47:10,828 --> 00:47:13,221
we would never dip into it
for any reason whatsoever.
1031
00:47:13,265 --> 00:47:16,355
And then, of course,
the kids came along
1032
00:47:16,398 --> 00:47:17,878
and we started even earlier -
1033
00:47:17,922 --> 00:47:20,402
wanted to buy gifts
for everyone.
1034
00:47:20,446 --> 00:47:22,491
Until...
1035
00:47:22,535 --> 00:47:24,537
Hannah had other ideas.
1036
00:47:25,799 --> 00:47:29,063
It was 22 years ago,
Christmas Eve,
1037
00:47:29,107 --> 00:47:31,892
and we took the jar to the bank like we always did every year,
1038
00:47:31,936 --> 00:47:35,243
before we did our shopping.
1039
00:47:35,287 --> 00:47:37,202
Okay, who's ready to put
all this change
1040
00:47:37,245 --> 00:47:38,986
in the big coin machine?
1041
00:47:39,030 --> 00:47:40,770
- Me!
1042
00:47:40,814 --> 00:47:42,816
- Are we ready?
Right over here, kiddo.
1043
00:47:42,860 --> 00:47:44,687
- I already know how much
it is!
1044
00:47:44,731 --> 00:47:45,863
- How much is in there?
1045
00:47:45,906 --> 00:47:48,039
- $874 dollars and 90 cents!
1046
00:47:49,431 --> 00:47:51,129
- Are you sure?
- Yeah!
1047
00:47:51,172 --> 00:47:53,871
- Okay. I think you're
probably right.
1048
00:47:53,914 --> 00:47:55,698
Hold on. Let me get
your baby brother.
1049
00:47:57,178 --> 00:48:00,573
Uh, Ian, Ian, Ian. Here we go,
here we go. We got you.
1050
00:48:00,616 --> 00:48:03,793
Hey...I got you.
1051
00:48:05,752 --> 00:48:08,276
- What's the matter?
1052
00:48:08,320 --> 00:48:10,278
- It's nothing.
1053
00:48:10,322 --> 00:48:11,932
- Why are you so sad?
1054
00:48:13,673 --> 00:48:15,153
- Why are you wearing
sunglasses
1055
00:48:15,196 --> 00:48:17,503
in the wintertime?
1056
00:48:26,033 --> 00:48:29,602
- Well, would you like
our Christmas Jar?
1057
00:48:29,645 --> 00:48:31,909
- No. No thank you,
I couldn't.
1058
00:48:31,952 --> 00:48:33,911
- Hannah?
1059
00:48:33,954 --> 00:48:36,348
Don't wander off like that.
You scared the heck out of us.
1060
00:48:36,391 --> 00:48:38,176
You okay?
- Yeah, I'm okay.
1061
00:48:38,219 --> 00:48:40,830
- Yeah?
- But this lady isn't.
1062
00:48:42,876 --> 00:48:44,356
- Yeah.
1063
00:48:44,399 --> 00:48:47,620
- I asked her if she wanted
our Christmas Jar.
1064
00:48:47,663 --> 00:48:49,230
- She's very sweet.
- Mhmm.
1065
00:48:50,449 --> 00:48:53,104
- I'll tell you what.
1066
00:48:53,147 --> 00:48:55,236
Why don't you go give it
to her?
1067
00:48:55,280 --> 00:48:56,934
- Oh no, no, I couldn't.
1068
00:48:58,848 --> 00:49:00,763
- Yes, you can.
1069
00:49:00,807 --> 00:49:02,461
- Really?
- Yeah.
1070
00:49:02,504 --> 00:49:04,767
- We really want you to have it.
1071
00:49:06,813 --> 00:49:08,597
- Give it to her.
1072
00:49:08,641 --> 00:49:10,164
That's it, honey.
1073
00:49:11,383 --> 00:49:13,820
- Thank you.
- You're welcome.
1074
00:49:15,996 --> 00:49:17,998

1075
00:49:18,042 --> 00:49:20,827
- Merry Christmas.
1076
00:49:20,870 --> 00:49:22,698
- Come on.
1077
00:49:29,575 --> 00:49:32,143
- When we gave away
the jar that day,
1078
00:49:32,186 --> 00:49:35,059
we gave away our Christmas.
1079
00:49:35,102 --> 00:49:38,671
There wasn't any money to buy
gifts for anyone.
1080
00:49:41,456 --> 00:49:44,242
- And in the morning,
with no presents to open,
1081
00:49:44,285 --> 00:49:46,679
we turned on the Christmas
lights,
1082
00:49:46,722 --> 00:49:48,333
put on some carols
- Yeah.
1083
00:49:48,376 --> 00:49:51,553
- and took turns sharing
what we were all grateful for.
1084
00:49:53,164 --> 00:49:55,993
- Turned out to be the best
Christmas we ever had, right?
1085
00:49:56,036 --> 00:49:58,517
- And we vowed to do it
every year after that.
1086
00:49:58,560 --> 00:50:00,475
- So from that point on,
1087
00:50:00,519 --> 00:50:04,784
we threw all our change
into a jar, year-round,
1088
00:50:04,827 --> 00:50:06,481
and then we would give it
to someone
1089
00:50:06,525 --> 00:50:08,657
who we thought could really
use it.
1090
00:50:11,008 --> 00:50:14,446
- And you're the first person
we've ever told that to,
1091
00:50:14,489 --> 00:50:17,362
so I guess that makes you
one of us now.
1092
00:50:17,405 --> 00:50:20,104
- Yup.
Mum's the word.

cornice on this night table,

1097

Do you have any questions
about any of this?

- Yeah! Well, I'd like to know
how you decide on the person
1101
00:50:42,996 --> 00:50:44,302
you give your jars to?
1102
00:50:44,345 --> 00:50:46,652

to that, are we?

I couldn't stop thinking
about it last night.
1105

- Okay.
1106
00:50:51,004 --> 00:50:52,832
- We share stories we've
overheard about people
1107
00:50:52,875 --> 00:50:56,140
from work, school, church,
wherever.
1108
00:50:56,183 --> 00:50:57,663
- Do you ever wonder
about them?
1109
00:50:57,706 --> 00:51:00,579
I mean, where they are now?
- Sure!
1110
00:51:00,622 --> 00:51:02,015
I think about them year-round,
1111
00:51:02,059 --> 00:51:04,844
every time I throw my spare
change into the jar.
1112
00:51:04,887 --> 00:51:07,368
- And no one's ever guessed
the jars came from you?
1113
00:51:07,412 --> 00:51:09,370
- Hey, Chatty Cathy, there's
still work to be done, hm?
1114

- Sorry.
- Don't be sorry.

Just give me a hand with
this clamp here, okay?

You haven't learned anything,
have you?
1117
00:51:22,688 --> 00:51:24,559
Not a thing.
1118
00:51:24,603 --> 00:51:26,518

your drawer unlocked.

Ooh!

- Maybe we'll find one of your
grandmother's old stories?
1122
00:51:35,788 --> 00:51:38,747
- Actually, you know, that's
been locked for so long, I...
1123
00:51:38,791 --> 00:51:40,488
probably even before
my grandmother had it.
1124
00:51:40,532 --> 00:51:42,142
I don't know what's in there.
1125

- Oh...
1126
00:51:54,241 --> 00:51:55,895
Just an old Chinese
take-out menu.

expecting, huh?

what would be in there.

1130

come skating with us tomorrow.

- I promised I'd take them
in the morning.

You're welcome to join

- Yeah! No, I'd love to.
- Yay! She's coming!

afterwards.

1137
00:52:28,145 --> 00:52:31,757
So did you always know you were
gonna be a reporter?
1138

- Um, yeah, I can't imagine
ever doing anything else.
1139
00:52:36,327 --> 00:52:38,198
- I don't know what kind of
writer I wanna be yet.
1140
00:52:38,242 --> 00:52:40,244
- Well, you have a lot of time
to figure that out.
1141
00:52:40,287 --> 00:52:42,376
- Right now, I just like making
up my own stories.
1142

- Maybe I can read one someday?
1143

I know it can be scary, but...
I promise I won't be mean.

you're doing out here.

since I was five.

A couple years ago, the woman I
was supposed to give our jar to

opened her door right as
I was about to put it down,

for directions.

So, after that, I started
delivering them
1190
00:55:29,848 --> 00:55:32,198
in the middle of the night
so no one would see me.

00:56:26,731 --> 00:56:28,515
- If you say so.
1213
00:56:28,559 --> 00:56:31,083
I just hate seeing you
compromise your values.
1214
00:56:31,126 --> 00:56:33,215
And I don't wanna see you
get hurt.
1215
00:56:33,259 --> 00:56:35,174
- Oh, come on, Cynthia.
1216
00:56:35,217 --> 00:56:37,089
It's not like she's pretending
to be a doctor
1217
00:56:37,132 --> 00:56:39,700
performing surgery
or something.
1218
00:56:39,744 --> 00:56:41,441
She's telling people
she a college student.
1219
00:56:41,485 --> 00:56:43,400
What's the big deal?
- Shhh!
1220
00:56:43,443 --> 00:56:45,706
Look, I should really get back,
but...
1221
00:56:45,750 --> 00:56:47,012
come over and say hi, okay?
1222
00:56:47,055 --> 00:56:48,622
- Okay.

00:56:51,843 --> 00:56:53,235
- Hey!
- Hey!
1224
00:56:53,279 --> 00:56:55,890
So we're just discussing
your incredible...
1225
00:56:55,934 --> 00:56:57,544
figure skating skills.
1226
00:56:57,588 --> 00:56:59,764
- Oh, yeah. Did you talk
about when you fell on me?
1227
00:56:59,807 --> 00:57:02,070
- Uh... I don't remember that.
1228
00:57:02,114 --> 00:57:03,855
I saw that, yeah.
1229
00:57:03,898 --> 00:57:05,465
- Thank you.
1230
00:57:05,509 --> 00:57:08,076
Hey, you see that seat over
there, right on the end?
1231
00:57:08,120 --> 00:57:10,122
That's where I used to sit
and finish my homework
1232
00:57:10,165 --> 00:57:11,906
every day after school
1233
00:57:11,950 --> 00:57:13,995
and I would wait for my mom
to finish her shift.
1234
00:57:14,039 --> 00:57:16,737
- You had your very own stool?
- Sure did.
1235
00:57:16,781 --> 00:57:19,000
Yeah, I practically
grew up here.
1236
00:57:19,044 --> 00:57:22,308
- And is this booth where
your mom found you?
1237
00:57:22,351 --> 00:57:25,093
- Yeah, right where you're
sitting, actually.
1238
00:57:26,660 --> 00:57:30,229
I got so lucky. She wasn't even
supposed to be in that day.
1239
00:57:30,272 --> 00:57:32,100
- In that case,
we all got lucky.

You must be done your article.

Not quite.

What seems to be the problem,
Hope?
1246
00:58:02,957 --> 00:58:05,786
You've been saying "not quite"
for days.
1247

- Well, I haven't exactly been
honest with the Maxwells
1248
00:58:08,354 --> 00:58:10,835
and I'm starting to feel
really guilty about it.
1249

- Yeah.
1250

of Nellie Bly?

- No.
- Okay,
1252
00:58:19,800 --> 00:58:23,021
Nelly pretended to be
a crazy person
1253
00:58:23,064 --> 00:58:24,892
to get admitted to a mental
hospital
1254
00:58:24,936 --> 00:58:27,547
where she reported on the
horrible conditions inside.
1255
00:58:27,591 --> 00:58:31,377
And that report became the
foundation for sweeping reforms
1256
00:58:31,420 --> 00:58:33,553
in the psychiatric profession.
1257
00:58:33,597 --> 00:58:37,383
Hope, there is a long history
of journalists in this country
1258
00:58:37,426 --> 00:58:40,517
going undercover for the sake
of a good story.
1259

And this, what you have
right here,

- Whoa, what's all this?
1276
00:59:17,858 --> 00:59:19,468
- So I did a bit
of Christmas shopping.
1277

- Ahh!
1278
00:59:20,644 --> 00:59:22,036
- I got this for Ian.
1279
00:59:22,080 --> 00:59:23,560
It's the Jane Austen
collection.
1280
00:59:23,603 --> 00:59:26,475
- Oh, that's perfect!
- I couldn't resist.
1281

Smells so good in here!

They're so cool.
1293

- We were just talking about
Christmas
1294
00:59:58,595 --> 01:00:01,380
and wondered if you'd like
to join us on Christmas Eve?
1295
01:00:01,423 --> 01:00:03,556
- Really?
- Unless you have other plans.
1296
01:00:03,600 --> 01:00:05,340
- Just dinner at Chuck's
like we usually do.
1297
01:00:05,384 --> 01:00:06,994
- Come over after dinner,
1298
01:00:07,038 --> 01:00:09,649
and spend Christmas Day
with us, too.
1299
01:00:09,693 --> 01:00:12,043
- Christmas Eve is my favorite.
1300
01:00:12,086 --> 01:00:14,045
All the Christmas lights
and carols.
1301
01:00:14,088 --> 01:00:17,135
We wrap presents,
and drink eggnog,
1302
01:00:17,178 --> 01:00:18,571
stay up late just talking
1303
01:00:18,615 --> 01:00:20,660
and eating way too many
of these.
1304
01:00:20,704 --> 01:00:22,619

perfect.

- But I should warn you.
1306
01:00:24,621 --> 01:00:27,145
Jake here gets up super early
1307
01:00:27,188 --> 01:00:29,408
and makes a point of waking
everyone.
1308
01:00:29,451 --> 01:00:31,105
All:
- How early?
1309
01:00:31,149 --> 01:00:33,804
- Uh, 5:00 am. 6:00,
if we're lucky.
1310
01:00:33,847 --> 01:00:36,284
- Well, the Christmas Eve part
sounds great.
1311
01:00:36,328 --> 01:00:38,243
- You just come over
whenever you want,
1312
01:00:38,286 --> 01:00:40,245
but don't show up all fancy.
1313
01:00:40,288 --> 01:00:41,942
We spend half the day
in our pajamas.
1314
01:00:43,509 --> 01:00:44,815
Do you mind grabbing those
for me?
1315
01:00:44,858 --> 01:00:46,947
- Of course.
1316
01:00:46,991 --> 01:00:49,123
- I was thinking about
your birth mother.
1317
01:00:49,167 --> 01:00:51,822
Do you have any clues
about her at all?
1318
01:00:51,865 --> 01:00:54,172
- Uh, she left a note
in my baby blanket,
1319
01:00:54,215 --> 01:00:55,695
but she never signed it.
1320
01:00:55,739 --> 01:00:57,479
- Did you keep it?
1321
01:00:57,523 --> 01:01:00,395
- Of course. Yeah, it's the
only thing I have from her.
1322
01:01:00,439 --> 01:01:03,137
- What about trying one of
those family tree, DNA kits?
1323
01:01:03,181 --> 01:01:04,922
It might lead you
to a blood relative.
1324
01:01:04,965 --> 01:01:06,706
- I don't know.
1325
01:01:06,750 --> 01:01:09,753
I always worried that talking
about that would upset my mom.
1326
01:01:09,796 --> 01:01:11,493
- Of course.
1327
01:01:11,537 --> 01:01:14,322

if you ever wanna try.

Nope, nope. I'm not gonna
take one.

Nope, they're not even there.

Oh, but yes they are, honey,
and this girl needs her sugar.
1336

alone.
1337
01:01:35,430 --> 01:01:38,564
- One speaks truth.
1338
01:01:38,607 --> 01:01:40,522
- So where's my story?
1339
01:01:40,566 --> 01:01:43,264
- It's almost finished.
- Oh, almost. Oh, that's great.
1340
01:01:43,308 --> 01:01:45,179
Yeah, 'cause there's this thing
called Christmas coming up
1341
01:01:45,223 --> 01:01:46,746
and it's kind of a hard
deadline.
1342
01:01:46,790 --> 01:01:49,009

a few pieces of the story
1343
01:01:49,053 --> 01:01:50,532
that I haven't quite
cracked yet.
1344
01:01:50,576 --> 01:01:51,969
- Okay, then just give me
whatever you've got
1345
01:01:52,012 --> 01:01:53,971
by end of day.
- What?! Why?
1346
01:01:54,014 --> 01:01:55,494
- Because we're running out
of time.
1347
01:01:55,537 --> 01:01:57,539
You're making me nervous,
You know what?
1348

Until you are done,
cookies go bye-bye.

1355

Lyle wants my story
by the end of the day,
1356
01:02:20,214 --> 01:02:22,173

the Maxwells the truth.

- So what're you gonna do?
1360
01:02:27,918 --> 01:02:29,833
- Uh, I don't know, Rory.
1361
01:02:32,096 --> 01:02:35,055
- I was gonna say you're torn
because all you've ever wanted
1362
01:02:35,099 --> 01:02:36,578
was to be a reporter and...
1363
01:02:36,622 --> 01:02:39,233
now this is finally
your chance.
1364

But you don't wanna lose

which one would hurt the most
to lose?
1367
01:02:46,806 --> 01:02:49,591
- That's just it.
I can't choose.
1368
01:02:49,635 --> 01:02:52,072
- You may not have a choice.
1369
01:02:52,116 --> 01:02:55,206

you may lose both of 'em.

- Five days a week,
seven miles each way.
1373
01:03:19,883 --> 01:03:21,623
She has to leave
the house at 5:30

to get to work on time.
1375

enough to fix her car.

- With hopefully some
leftover for Christmas.
1377
01:03:28,108 --> 01:03:30,981
Okay, now her mom looks after
the kids during the day
1378
01:03:31,024 --> 01:03:32,678
and they'll probably be home,

01:03:38,640 --> 01:03:39,859
- What do we do?!
1382
01:03:39,903 --> 01:03:40,860
- Uh... here!
1383
01:03:44,124 --> 01:03:45,604
Run!
1384
01:03:51,784 --> 01:03:54,482
- Get the door.
1385
01:03:54,526 --> 01:03:56,920
- That felt incredible.
1386
01:03:56,963 --> 01:03:58,791
Hannah?
1387
01:03:58,835 --> 01:04:00,227
Hannah!
1388
01:04:01,402 --> 01:04:02,839
Hannah!
1389
01:04:04,318 --> 01:04:06,886
- Shh... shh, shh.
1390
01:04:06,930 --> 01:04:09,280
Come on, let's get outta here.
1391
01:04:09,323 --> 01:04:10,716
- Thanks for sharing this
with me.
1392
01:04:10,759 --> 01:04:12,718
- Come on.
1393
01:04:12,761 --> 01:04:14,285
- Whoa!
1394
01:04:14,328 --> 01:04:16,591
Both:
- Come on.
1395
01:04:16,635 --> 01:04:18,898

- That's four strikes in a row.
What?!
1403
01:05:10,558 --> 01:05:12,821
- Ah, that's my girl!
- Can you believe it?

How about you, Hope?
What's your secret talent?
1406
01:05:18,305 --> 01:05:20,525
- Oh, well, I'm a really
fast typist.
1407
01:05:20,568 --> 01:05:22,179
- Bore-ing.
1408
01:05:22,222 --> 01:05:24,007
- Okay, um,
1409
01:05:24,050 --> 01:05:27,836
I can pick up a pen with
my toes and sign my name.
1410
01:05:27,880 --> 01:05:29,621
- Why would you ever learn
to do that?
1411
01:05:29,664 --> 01:05:31,318
- You've never been an only
child.
1412
01:05:31,362 --> 01:05:33,277
- Yeah.
1413
01:05:33,320 --> 01:05:35,714
- How about you, Ian?
- Me? Uh...
1414
01:05:37,194 --> 01:05:38,935
- I think you should do
that trick.
1415
01:05:38,978 --> 01:05:41,241
- Yes! Come on! Do it!
- No! I'm not doing the trick!
1416
01:05:41,285 --> 01:05:43,026
I'm not doing the trick,
it's silly. I'm not.
1417
01:05:43,069 --> 01:05:45,332
- What trick?
- All right, I'll do the trick.
1418
01:05:45,376 --> 01:05:46,986
I'll do the trick, okay?
1419
01:05:51,556 --> 01:05:53,340
- Are you gonna make that
disappear?
1420
01:05:53,384 --> 01:05:55,212
- Watch very closely.
1421
01:06:03,698 --> 01:06:05,962
Oh!
1422
01:06:07,528 --> 01:06:09,443
- No bad, huh?
Thank you very much.
1423
01:06:09,487 --> 01:06:11,576
Thank you very much.
- I think I'm up.
1424
01:06:11,619 --> 01:06:14,492
- And is this the part
where you reach behind my ear
1425
01:06:14,535 --> 01:06:16,233
and pull out the coin?
1426
01:06:16,276 --> 01:06:18,626
- Kind of.
1427
01:06:18,670 --> 01:06:20,019
- Kind of?
1428
01:06:32,553 --> 01:06:33,859
What's that?
- It's a key.
1429
01:06:33,902 --> 01:06:36,340
For your desk drawer.
1430
01:06:36,383 --> 01:06:37,906
I made it.
1431
01:06:39,082 --> 01:06:40,344
- You made it?
1432
01:06:43,477 --> 01:06:45,305
Thanks.
1433
01:06:45,349 --> 01:06:47,568
- You're welcome.
1434
01:06:47,612 --> 01:06:49,483
- Did you practice that?
- The trick?
1435
01:06:49,527 --> 01:06:51,398
- Yeah.
- Uh... no.
1436
01:06:51,442 --> 01:06:53,096
Made it up on the spot.
1437
01:06:53,139 --> 01:06:55,054
- No way that was the first
time. You made that up.
1438
01:06:55,098 --> 01:06:56,838
Both:
- Hey, we better get going
1439
01:06:56,882 --> 01:06:58,623
if we're gonna make that
7:30 show.
1440
01:06:58,666 --> 01:07:00,755
- Uh... no, we'll just get
tickets online.
1441
01:07:00,799 --> 01:07:02,670
Four adults, 7:30...
1442
01:07:02,714 --> 01:07:07,110
- Oh, I think Hope gets
a student discount, right?
1443
01:07:07,153 --> 01:07:09,155
- You would need to show
your student ID at the booth
1444
01:07:09,199 --> 01:07:10,896
and I left mine at home.
1445
01:07:10,939 --> 01:07:13,638
I'll just get my own ticket.
- It's fine, I got it.
1446
01:07:13,681 --> 01:07:15,988
- 'Kay.
1447
01:07:16,032 --> 01:07:17,511
- What's wrong?
1448
01:07:17,555 --> 01:07:19,513
- Nothing.
- You sure?
1449
01:07:19,557 --> 01:07:22,342
You look so serious
all of a sudden.
1450
01:07:23,909 --> 01:07:26,738
- I should probably
tell you something.
1451
01:07:26,781 --> 01:07:30,046
I'm just sort of worried about
what's gonna happen and...
1452
01:07:35,138 --> 01:07:37,009
you know, when I turn
my school paper in.
1453
01:07:37,053 --> 01:07:39,751
- Okay,
don't be ridiculous.
1454
01:07:39,794 --> 01:07:42,406
You don't need an excuse
to hang out with us.
1455
01:07:42,449 --> 01:07:44,495
Come on, let's go.
- Come on.
1456
01:07:57,725 --> 01:08:00,859
- Wow! Mind blown!
1457
01:08:00,902 --> 01:08:02,774
You totally hit it outta
the park!
1458
01:08:02,817 --> 01:08:04,254
And I'm gonna run this
1459
01:08:04,297 --> 01:08:07,561
as the top story
on our homepage.
1460
01:08:07,605 --> 01:08:10,303
- I mean, they give away
the jars anonymously
1461
01:08:10,347 --> 01:08:13,524
They don't want any form
of recognition.
1462
01:08:13,567 --> 01:08:15,134
- So they're reluctant heroes.
That's fantastic!
1463
01:08:15,178 --> 01:08:17,093
We could add that in.
1464
01:08:17,136 --> 01:08:19,965
- The Maxwells have been
so good to me.
1465
01:08:20,008 --> 01:08:21,880
- Hope, come on.
1466
01:08:21,923 --> 01:08:24,100
I mean, you have written...
1467
01:08:24,143 --> 01:08:25,536
a powerful story here
1468
01:08:25,579 --> 01:08:28,365
that has the potential
to touch thou--
1469
01:08:28,408 --> 01:08:30,367
no, millions of readers' lives.
1470
01:08:30,410 --> 01:08:32,195
Inspire them even.
1471
01:08:32,238 --> 01:08:35,154
'Kay, that, that should be
your focus.
1472
01:08:35,198 --> 01:08:37,156
Am I right as a journalist?
1473
01:08:41,552 --> 01:08:42,814
Receptionist: Yeah, hi, Brandi,
1474
01:08:42,857 --> 01:08:44,207
Yeah, I have some people
at reception
1475
01:08:44,250 --> 01:08:46,426
inquiring about advertising
with us.
1476
01:08:48,602 --> 01:08:51,170
Great, thanks.
1477
01:08:51,214 --> 01:08:54,130

will be right with you.
1478
01:08:54,173 --> 01:08:55,609

1479
01:08:57,220 --> 01:08:59,222
- Come on, Hope,
1480
01:08:59,265 --> 01:09:01,180
you should be proud
of yourself.
1481
01:09:01,224 --> 01:09:03,226
I'm proud of you even though
you're drivin' me crazy
1482
01:09:03,269 --> 01:09:04,662
right now.
1483
01:09:06,185 --> 01:09:09,449
- Lyle, I'm grateful
for this opportunity, but...
1484
01:09:09,493 --> 01:09:11,408
yeah, I don't think hurting
this family
1485
01:09:11,451 --> 01:09:13,497
for the sake of my career
is worth it.
1486
01:09:14,889 --> 01:09:16,935
- Okay, and I'm... I'm confused.
1487
01:09:16,978 --> 01:09:19,329
'Cause you pitched me
this story, right?
1488
01:09:19,372 --> 01:09:20,765
I've been waiting
for this story,
1489
01:09:20,808 --> 01:09:22,897
for what, the last 3 weeks!
1490
01:09:22,941 --> 01:09:24,464
Not quite, not quite!
1491
01:09:24,508 --> 01:09:27,206
Finally, it's ready, and now
you wanna pull the plug.
1492
01:09:27,250 --> 01:09:29,077
Well, why don't you just
grow up!
1493
01:09:29,121 --> 01:09:31,079
Hope, you're so overthinking
this!
1494
01:09:31,123 --> 01:09:32,603
The Maxwells will probably
get a kick
1495
01:09:32,646 --> 01:09:35,388
out of all the publicity.
- No, they won't!
1496
01:09:35,432 --> 01:09:38,043
- Yes, they will!
Hope, come on, smarten up!
1497
01:09:38,086 --> 01:09:39,914
Brandi: And come on back
with me.
1498
01:09:44,180 --> 01:09:45,485
- Is that Hope?
1499
01:09:47,400 --> 01:09:49,620
- Hope, we're running
the Christmas Jars story
1500
01:09:49,663 --> 01:09:51,752
and that's final. I just sent
it to the copy editor.
1501

1502
01:10:04,983 --> 01:10:06,593
Wow.

- Well, why don't you come in?

01:12:26,907 --> 01:12:28,909
- I was... scared of this
moment.
1526
01:12:30,476 --> 01:12:33,261
Look, I was scared of what
you'd think of me...
1527
01:12:33,305 --> 01:12:35,525

forgive me.
1528

1529
01:12:41,922 --> 01:12:45,099
and your family like...
like I did
1530
01:12:45,143 --> 01:12:49,234
and I didn't know how to come
clean about anything.
1531
01:12:49,277 --> 01:12:51,105
I just...
1532
01:12:51,149 --> 01:12:53,238
I don't know what
to believe anymore.
1533

Was that desk even
your grandmother's?
1534
01:13:02,726 --> 01:13:04,292
Ian, let me explain!
1535
01:13:05,511 --> 01:13:07,948
- Good luck with your career.
1536
01:13:07,992 --> 01:13:09,907
I hope it was worth it.
1537
01:13:12,083 --> 01:13:13,301
- Ian!
1538
01:13:27,968 --> 01:13:29,796
- The party has a bird
this year.
1539
01:13:29,840 --> 01:13:31,363
- Ooh, sorry!
- All right?
1540
01:13:31,407 --> 01:13:34,105
- It has a bird!
1541
01:13:34,148 --> 01:13:37,587
- Woo!
1542
01:13:37,630 --> 01:13:39,719
- What's wrong?
1543
01:13:39,763 --> 01:13:41,808
- They're never gonna
forgive me.
1544
01:13:41,852 --> 01:13:43,680
- They'll come around.
Just give 'em some time.
1545
01:13:47,423 --> 01:13:49,207
Nice ears.
1546
01:13:49,250 --> 01:13:50,426
- What?
1547
01:13:50,469 --> 01:13:52,471

as a way to beat back
the Monday Blues?
1552
01:14:01,219 --> 01:14:02,742
- Masquerade Mondays?
- Mhmm.
1553
01:14:02,786 --> 01:14:05,484
You mean I'd have an excuse

01:24:33,503 --> 01:24:36,506
- Um, come, join us.
1729
01:24:36,549 --> 01:24:39,944
These are my two oldest,
uh, Hannah and Ian,
1730
01:24:39,987 --> 01:24:42,120
and my son-in-law, Dustin.
1731
01:24:42,164 --> 01:24:44,601
I'm so sorry, I just realized
I didn't ask you your name.
1732
01:24:44,644 --> 01:24:46,124
- It's Marianne.
1733
01:24:46,168 --> 01:24:48,779
- Nice to meet you, Marianne.
1734
01:24:48,822 --> 01:24:51,086
- It's so nice to meet you all.
1735
01:24:51,129 --> 01:24:53,914
- Please, um, go on
with your story.
1736
01:24:53,958 --> 01:24:56,961
- Uh...
1737
01:24:57,004 --> 01:24:59,442
my ex-husband was a very
violent man.
1738
01:25:01,183 --> 01:25:02,401
When I was 9 months pregnant,
1739
01:25:02,445 --> 01:25:05,187
he beat me so badly that...
1740
01:25:05,230 --> 01:25:08,103
I thought I was going to die...
1741
01:25:08,146 --> 01:25:09,843
but I-I didn't.
1742
01:25:11,889 --> 01:25:15,022
I survived and so did my baby.
1743
01:25:15,066 --> 01:25:17,677
I gave birth to her at home.
- By yourself?!
1744
01:25:17,721 --> 01:25:20,463
- Yeah. I never had any friends
back then.
1745
01:25:21,681 --> 01:25:23,379
He made sure of it and...
1746
01:25:24,684 --> 01:25:27,470
I didn't have money
for a doctor.
1747
01:25:27,513 --> 01:25:30,299
He cleaned out our savings
account and took everything.
1748
01:25:30,342 --> 01:25:32,562
The rent was overdue,
1749
01:25:32,605 --> 01:25:35,042
the utilities shut off.
I mean, there I was...
1750
01:25:35,086 --> 01:25:37,306
freezing, with a newborn,
1751
01:25:37,349 --> 01:25:40,570
in an apartment wallpapered
with eviction notices.
1752
01:25:42,224 --> 01:25:44,661
'Cause I had nowhere to go,
1753
01:25:44,704 --> 01:25:46,053
no one to turn to.
1754
01:25:49,492 --> 01:25:50,884
I was inconsolable.
1755
01:25:50,928 --> 01:25:53,278
I mean, I-I-I could
barely breathe after...
1756
01:25:55,019 --> 01:25:56,238
- After what?
1757
01:25:59,371 --> 01:26:00,720
- I gave her away.
1758
01:26:03,723 --> 01:26:05,464
I gave my baby away.
1759
01:26:08,032 --> 01:26:09,686
I didn't know where to go...
1760
01:26:11,514 --> 01:26:14,081
I had no one to turn to...
1761
01:26:18,390 --> 01:26:21,176
then out of nowhere,
1762
01:26:21,219 --> 01:26:23,961
this little girl appeared,
1763
01:26:24,004 --> 01:26:26,877
just this... little angel,
1764
01:26:30,010 --> 01:26:31,838
and she gave me this jar
full of change.
1765
01:26:33,275 --> 01:26:36,103
- Oh...
1766
01:26:36,147 --> 01:26:38,758
- I just sat there...
1767
01:26:38,802 --> 01:26:40,195
I couldn't believe it.
1768
01:26:42,022 --> 01:26:44,460
- That's amazing.
1769
01:26:44,503 --> 01:26:47,071
- That money did more than
help me to survive.
1770
01:26:47,114 --> 01:26:49,508
It... it renewed my faith
1771
01:26:50,988 --> 01:26:53,425
so I could pick myself up
and carry on.
1772
01:26:53,469 --> 01:26:56,167
- What happened to the baby?
1773
01:26:56,211 --> 01:27:00,127
- I left her in
a little diner.
1774
01:27:00,171 --> 01:27:01,651
I know it sounds terrible.
1775
01:27:01,694 --> 01:27:05,220
It, it was terrible,
It is... terrible,
1776
01:27:05,263 --> 01:27:08,092
but there was something
1777
01:27:08,135 --> 01:27:10,094
in the kindness of
my waitress' eyes
1778
01:27:10,137 --> 01:27:12,444
and... the friendly owners,
the...
1779

It made it seem safe for her.
1780
01:27:18,668 --> 01:27:21,105
I just knew that someone
else could...
1781
01:27:21,148 --> 01:27:23,107
give her a better shot at life
than I could.
1782
01:27:26,371 --> 01:27:28,286
But I think about her
every day.
1783
