1
00:01:51,540 --> 00:01:54,125
-Merry Christmas.
-I'm working on it.

2
00:01:54,207 --> 00:01:55,165
Yeah.

3
00:02:22,250 --> 00:02:24,915
-Absolutely not. She's awful.
-Uh, she's not awful.

4
00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:26,957
-She's rude.
-She's a little tactless.

5
00:02:27,040 --> 00:02:28,582
-And she's old.
-She's very, very old.

6
00:02:28,665 --> 00:02:30,875
She's the only person who could come
at such short notice.

7
00:02:30,957 --> 00:02:32,415
-I'm going to bed.
-Me too.

8
00:02:32,500 --> 00:02:35,165
-No. She'll put you to bed.
-That's not happening.

9
00:02:35,250 --> 00:02:36,582
We'll have nightmares.

10
00:02:37,625 --> 00:02:39,875
-You're very quiet, Mop.
-I already have nightmares.

11
00:02:41,415 --> 00:02:44,832
Look, guys, guys, I'm really sorry
that I have to go to the office,

12
00:02:44,915 --> 00:02:46,750
but I'll be back as soon as I can.

13
00:02:46,832 --> 00:02:48,790
Your mom really loved your aunt,
so let's try and--

14
00:02:54,415 --> 00:02:55,250
Hey.

15
00:02:55,750 --> 00:02:58,290
Oh, you look awful.

16
00:03:00,040 --> 00:03:02,415
-Hello, Aunt Ruth. Good to see you too.

17
00:03:02,500 --> 00:03:04,582
-Oh, I… I don't see a tree.

18
00:03:05,207 --> 00:03:08,207
-No decorations.
-No, we decided against it this year.

19
00:03:08,290 --> 00:03:09,457
That's a mistake.

20
00:03:10,290 --> 00:03:11,957
Oh, hello, children.

21
00:03:12,625 --> 00:03:13,707
How are we all?

22
00:03:13,790 --> 00:03:17,040
-They're doing great.
-Mmm. Let me look at you.

23
00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:21,625
It's as I thought, still heartbroken.

24
00:03:21,707 --> 00:03:22,915
-I'm not.
-Me either.

25
00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:24,125
I am.

26
00:03:24,582 --> 00:03:27,665
But I still love Mommy
with all the broken pieces.

27
00:03:31,165 --> 00:03:32,290
They're doing great.

28
00:03:41,625 --> 00:03:46,165
-You're very old.
-Yes. I'm very aware of it.

29
00:03:46,957 --> 00:03:49,250
I still don't get why
we all have to listen.

30
00:03:49,332 --> 00:03:53,665
Because the universe
is made of stories, not atoms.

31
00:03:53,750 --> 00:03:57,790
-That's not actually true.
-Well, it must be because I never lie.

32
00:03:57,875 --> 00:04:00,040
So, you listen to the story.

33
00:04:00,125 --> 00:04:02,915
After it, you sleep,
and then it will be Christmas.

34
00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:05,332
But we don't want it to be Christmas.

35
00:04:06,750 --> 00:04:09,625
Well, that decides the tale
I'm telling tonight.

36
00:04:09,707 --> 00:04:11,915
So, are you all comfortable?

37
00:04:12,915 --> 00:04:15,582
-You better be because I'm starting.

38
00:04:26,457 --> 00:04:29,290
Now you may find this
hard to believe,

39
00:04:30,375 --> 00:04:34,457
but long ago, nobody knew about Christmas.

40
00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:40,332
At this time,
in the middle of a forest in Finland,

41
00:04:40,415 --> 00:04:45,750
there lived an ordinary boy called Nikolas
along with his father,

42
00:04:45,832 --> 00:04:50,875
a humble woodcutter
who at the moment was quite preoccupied.

43
00:04:56,040 --> 00:04:57,082
Be the forest.

44
00:05:03,458 --> 00:05:05,875
-I don't know what that means.

45
00:05:05,958 --> 00:05:08,708
-It means don't move.

46
00:05:09,750 --> 00:05:11,915
When I say run, you run.

47
00:05:12,415 --> 00:05:16,500
-So stop being the forest.
-Yes, and run very fast.

48
00:05:20,875 --> 00:05:22,125
I won't go without you.

49
00:05:26,250 --> 00:05:28,250
-Then we both run!

50
00:05:34,790 --> 00:05:36,332
-Come on!

51
00:05:38,040 --> 00:05:39,207
Run! Run!

52
00:05:52,415 --> 00:05:55,375
One crisis narrowly averted,

53
00:05:56,040 --> 00:05:59,582
Nikolas and his father returned
to their cabin in the woods.

54
00:06:01,540 --> 00:06:04,083
Times were hard for father and son.

55
00:06:04,165 --> 00:06:06,875
They had barely enough
to make ends meet.

56
00:06:06,958 --> 00:06:09,458
Wait, wait, wait. Sorry to interrupt.

57
00:06:10,165 --> 00:06:11,165
What is it?

58
00:06:11,250 --> 00:06:12,333
Where's his mommy?

59
00:06:13,625 --> 00:06:16,832
Ah, well, she died. Two years before.

60
00:06:17,540 --> 00:06:20,790
Yes, I'm afraid the bear
had something to do with that.

61
00:06:20,875 --> 00:06:23,665
Bear ate his mom. Got it.

62
00:06:23,750 --> 00:06:27,957
Well, Finland was
a very dangerous place in those days.

63
00:06:28,500 --> 00:06:29,332
Still is.

64
00:06:30,125 --> 00:06:32,000
But despite the hardships,

65
00:06:32,082 --> 00:06:36,500
Nikolas held onto hope,
especially at bedtime.

66
00:06:36,582 --> 00:06:39,707
-Will you tell me the story, Papa?
-Not again.

67
00:06:39,790 --> 00:06:40,875
Why not?

68
00:06:41,625 --> 00:06:43,165
It isn't my story to tell.

69
00:06:44,750 --> 00:06:46,165
But Mama's not here anymore.

70
00:06:48,500 --> 00:06:51,207
Okay then, I'll tell you about Elfhelm.

71
00:06:54,790 --> 00:06:58,750
A long time ago,
in a place not unlike this one,

72
00:06:59,750 --> 00:07:02,708
lived a young girl named Lumi.

73
00:07:05,790 --> 00:07:09,000
One day while gathering acorns
in the woods,

74
00:07:09,708 --> 00:07:11,790
Lumi became hopelessly lost.

75
00:07:12,750 --> 00:07:13,915
She tried to find her home,

76
00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:16,457
but the more she searched,
the farther from home she went.

77
00:07:16,957 --> 00:07:19,540
Over the river and under the moon,

78
00:07:20,500 --> 00:07:22,457
over the pointy mountain,

79
00:07:22,540 --> 00:07:26,665
all the way down past the, uh…

80
00:07:27,250 --> 00:07:28,750
Past the sleeping giants.

81
00:07:28,832 --> 00:07:32,540
Past the sleeping giants
and through the sky she walked.

82
00:07:32,625 --> 00:07:37,000
To a place
where snow was soft as clouds.

83
00:07:38,415 --> 00:07:39,665
Then what happened?

84
00:07:40,332 --> 00:07:42,040
Our Lumi was near collapse,

85
00:07:42,125 --> 00:07:46,457
and at last, she stumbled upon
a secret village called Elfhelm

86
00:07:47,165 --> 00:07:49,875
where lived the elves,
the happiest people in the world

87
00:07:49,957 --> 00:07:52,332
and the most magical place in the world.

88
00:07:54,540 --> 00:07:56,957
There Lumi stayed until the snow cleared,

89
00:07:58,375 --> 00:08:01,583
and she was finally able to return
to her home in the south,

90
00:08:02,083 --> 00:08:03,665
her pockets full of chocolates.

91
00:08:06,040 --> 00:08:07,790
You believe this story, don't you?

92
00:08:07,875 --> 00:08:11,250
The ending is a stretch.
The chocolate would have melted.

93
00:08:11,875 --> 00:08:13,083
But the rest?

94
00:08:14,250 --> 00:08:16,915
The magic and the elves?

95
00:08:18,415 --> 00:08:19,832
I've never seen them.

96
00:08:20,540 --> 00:08:21,957
But you believe in them.

97
00:08:22,540 --> 00:08:26,250
Your mother did. And to her,
believing was as good as knowing.

98
00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:30,832
What was that?

99
00:08:30,915 --> 00:08:33,915
-It sounded like a squeak.
-I think it was more of a creak.

100
00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:35,915
Definitely a squeak.

101
00:08:36,707 --> 00:08:39,500
-By the way, that's an overreaction.
-Out of the way, Nikolas.

102
00:08:43,707 --> 00:08:45,457
-Mouse! We have a mouse.

103
00:08:45,540 --> 00:08:47,332
-Papa, leave him alone!

104
00:08:47,875 --> 00:08:48,707
Papa.

105
00:08:49,375 --> 00:08:50,790
He'll steal our food.

106
00:08:50,875 --> 00:08:52,582
-What food?
-Argh!

107
00:09:03,375 --> 00:09:05,875
There he is! We've got him.

108
00:09:07,957 --> 00:09:09,957
Papa, please. Let him live.

109
00:09:13,332 --> 00:09:14,207
Please, Papa.

110
00:09:20,500 --> 00:09:26,250
I've thought about this a lot,
and I've decided to call you… Miika.

111
00:09:30,625 --> 00:09:32,540
And I'm going to teach you to talk.

112
00:09:34,875 --> 00:09:37,375
Boy. Boy.

113
00:09:38,665 --> 00:09:41,500
Mouse. Mouse.

114
00:09:46,790 --> 00:09:48,250
My mama always told me

115
00:09:48,750 --> 00:09:52,125
if you believe you can do something,
you're halfway there.

116
00:09:53,082 --> 00:09:55,832
Trees. Trees.

117
00:09:58,707 --> 00:10:02,500
Okay, maybe not halfway, but it's a start.

118
00:10:05,541 --> 00:10:06,707
Ugh!

119
00:10:08,250 --> 00:10:09,916
 And then one day,

120
00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:13,707
something happened
to light the long dark winter.

121
00:10:14,291 --> 00:10:17,207
A summons from the King himself.

122
00:10:18,332 --> 00:10:20,832
There were only two
of them on the invitation,

123
00:10:20,916 --> 00:10:25,416
but Nikolas saw no harm
in bringing along a plus one.

124
00:10:25,500 --> 00:10:27,625
We're going to see the King, Miika.

125
00:10:28,291 --> 00:10:29,291
King.

126
00:10:30,832 --> 00:10:33,375
-He's too excited to talk.
-He shouldn't be.

127
00:10:34,415 --> 00:10:37,125
-Why? You love the King.

128
00:10:37,207 --> 00:10:38,875
Of course I love the King.

129
00:10:38,957 --> 00:10:41,582
He's a great man,
deserves all that he has.

130
00:10:41,665 --> 00:10:44,790
The thing is, we deserve it too.
Everybody does.

131
00:10:44,875 --> 00:10:47,707
-We manage with what we have.
-We have very little.

132
00:10:47,790 --> 00:10:48,915
We have each other.

133
00:10:49,000 --> 00:10:50,457
And that's wonderful.

134
00:10:52,250 --> 00:10:53,290
But I want more.

135
00:10:56,082 --> 00:10:58,082
His Majesty, the King!

136
00:11:12,791 --> 00:11:16,082
-Hello, everyone. Thank you for coming.

137
00:11:16,832 --> 00:11:19,916
You okay? Would you like a glass of water?

138
00:11:21,625 --> 00:11:24,125
I can ring a little bell
and someone will bring it.

139
00:11:24,207 --> 00:11:27,082
No? Sure? All right.

140
00:11:28,416 --> 00:11:30,332
We all know times are hard.

141
00:11:30,416 --> 00:11:33,290
I mean really, really, really hard.

142
00:11:34,500 --> 00:11:37,207
I can't remember the last time I smiled.
Can you?

143
00:11:38,832 --> 00:11:40,457
What is there to smile about?

144
00:11:40,957 --> 00:11:42,665
We're all miserable.

145
00:11:43,582 --> 00:11:47,957
We're all missing something,
and I think we know what that is.

146
00:11:48,040 --> 00:11:51,625
-A health care system.
-That would be a very good thing.

147
00:11:52,165 --> 00:11:53,875
It's an idea, but not quite--

148
00:11:53,957 --> 00:11:56,000
-A living wage!

149
00:11:56,082 --> 00:11:57,332
Again, worth discussing.

150
00:11:57,415 --> 00:12:00,625
A fair system of governance?
Enough food to feed people?

151
00:12:00,707 --> 00:12:04,416
Okay, maybe I should just tell you
what I think it is that we're missing.

152
00:12:07,082 --> 00:12:09,875
Hope. We all need hope.

153
00:12:11,000 --> 00:12:14,875
A spark of magic to keep us all going.

154
00:12:15,582 --> 00:12:21,125
I've gathered you here because you are
the hardiest men and women in the land.

155
00:12:21,207 --> 00:12:22,666
-Not you.

156
00:12:23,791 --> 00:12:28,707
And I'm asking you
to go to the very edges of our kingdom.

157
00:12:28,791 --> 00:12:29,957
Go beyond

158
00:12:31,166 --> 00:12:36,250
and bring back something, anything,
to give us hope again.

159
00:12:36,332 --> 00:12:37,582
-A visionist.

160
00:12:38,165 --> 00:12:42,250
The eyes of our great nation
will be on this quest.

161
00:12:43,000 --> 00:12:44,040
Oh no.

162
00:12:44,125 --> 00:12:47,040
Any who set out
will be well paid for their efforts.

163
00:12:47,125 --> 00:12:50,040
-The path may be dangerous.

164
00:12:50,125 --> 00:12:53,207
Some of you will die,
probably most of you.

165
00:12:53,707 --> 00:12:57,250
But if you succeed,
your award will be far greater.

166
00:12:57,332 --> 00:12:58,875
-Got you, Miika!
-Say what?

167
00:13:00,041 --> 00:13:01,041
Seize him!

168
00:13:05,291 --> 00:13:08,166
-Forgive him, sire. I beg of you.

169
00:13:09,625 --> 00:13:13,332
I'm so sorry, Your Majesty.
He lives in the clouds, this one.

170
00:13:13,832 --> 00:13:16,207
-Lucky boy.

171
00:13:19,457 --> 00:13:20,457
What'd he give you?

172
00:13:20,541 --> 00:13:23,375
Two kind words, Papa,
that'll warm me through the long month.

173
00:13:23,457 --> 00:13:25,000
No, how much money?

174
00:13:25,666 --> 00:13:26,500
I don't know.

175
00:13:27,082 --> 00:13:30,041
This is half a crown.
Can feed a mouse for a week with this.

176
00:13:33,040 --> 00:13:33,875
Fork.

177
00:13:35,582 --> 00:13:36,415
Pine cone.

178
00:13:37,665 --> 00:13:38,500
Spoon.

179
00:13:40,750 --> 00:13:43,375
Please say something, Miika. Anything.

180
00:13:55,540 --> 00:13:56,375
Anders?

181
00:13:58,582 --> 00:14:01,457
Yes, it is me.

182
00:14:03,000 --> 00:14:05,666
Pretty close thing with the bear
the other day. Thank you for that.

183
00:14:05,750 --> 00:14:08,375
We need to talk.
Can the boy go to another room?

184
00:14:11,625 --> 00:14:14,541
-We don't have another room.
-And I want to hear.

185
00:14:14,625 --> 00:14:17,707
We can talk outside.
You're welcome to borrow my hat.

186
00:14:18,207 --> 00:14:19,207
I'll survive.

187
00:14:22,457 --> 00:14:24,166
What do you think that's all about, Miika?

188
00:14:41,625 --> 00:14:46,750
Nikolas, the King's quest,
I'm going to do it.

189
00:14:47,665 --> 00:14:49,040
You're going away?

190
00:14:49,125 --> 00:14:51,875
Not for long. Two months.

191
00:14:51,957 --> 00:14:53,250
Two months?

192
00:14:53,332 --> 00:14:56,500
Maybe three.
But I'll be back before you know it.

193
00:14:57,165 --> 00:15:00,166
-It'll be worth it.
-To bring some new hope to the world?

194
00:15:00,666 --> 00:15:02,375
To claim the reward.

195
00:15:02,457 --> 00:15:05,041
But isn't the reward
bringing us new hope and wonder?

196
00:15:05,957 --> 00:15:07,375
The reward is the money,

197
00:15:08,832 --> 00:15:13,207
and the money means food and warm clothes
so you can have a life.

198
00:15:15,000 --> 00:15:17,166
The life
I stood at your mother's grave site

199
00:15:17,250 --> 00:15:18,625
and promised you'd have.

200
00:15:19,791 --> 00:15:21,332
Nikolas, please.

201
00:15:22,875 --> 00:15:23,875
Nikolas!

202
00:15:41,040 --> 00:15:42,290
Where will you go?

203
00:15:43,290 --> 00:15:45,000
Anders is assembling a group.

204
00:15:46,082 --> 00:15:50,165
We'll be heading north,
far north, to find Elfhelm.

205
00:15:50,250 --> 00:15:51,750
-Elfhelm!
-If it exists.

206
00:15:51,832 --> 00:15:54,582
-I know it does. You have to take me.
-No, it's too dangerous.

207
00:15:54,665 --> 00:15:56,250
There'll be many nights sleeping out
in the cold.

208
00:15:56,332 --> 00:15:57,665
That's fine. I love the cold.

209
00:15:57,750 --> 00:15:59,125
Once you get north of Seipajarvi,

210
00:15:59,207 --> 00:16:01,957
there's nothing but ice planes and lakes
and snow-covered fields.

211
00:16:02,041 --> 00:16:03,457
Snow-covered fields are my favorite.

212
00:16:03,541 --> 00:16:05,125
After that, the journey only gets harder,

213
00:16:05,207 --> 00:16:07,000
which is why no one's made it
to the far north.

214
00:16:07,082 --> 00:16:09,457
That's not why.
It's because no one knows the way.

215
00:16:09,541 --> 00:16:12,916
The words in the story are totally vague,
and you can barely remember them anyway.

216
00:16:13,500 --> 00:16:15,832
Please, Papa. I can help. I know I can.

217
00:16:17,000 --> 00:16:18,000
Please.

218
00:16:20,707 --> 00:16:22,207
I set off at first light.

219
00:16:33,165 --> 00:16:34,665
I'll miss you, Christmas.

220
00:16:41,250 --> 00:16:43,750
You never told me why Mama called me that.

221
00:16:46,290 --> 00:16:47,790
She never told me either.

222
00:16:49,290 --> 00:16:52,250
It's just a word.
It doesn't have to mean anything.

223
00:16:54,500 --> 00:16:57,915
Dearest brother,
thank you for the generous offer

224
00:16:58,000 --> 00:17:01,000
of allowing me to look after the child.

225
00:17:02,125 --> 00:17:03,375
Who's gonna look after me?

226
00:17:03,457 --> 00:17:09,250
Oh, the pure joy of spending time
with my nephew is all the payment I need.

227
00:17:09,333 --> 00:17:13,625
Although, if you insist,
I'm sure we can come to an understanding.

228
00:17:13,708 --> 00:17:15,540
Don't worry. I've written to my sister.

229
00:17:15,625 --> 00:17:18,625
-Signed, your doting sister.

230
00:17:19,500 --> 00:17:20,583
Not Aunt Carlotta.

231
00:17:21,708 --> 00:17:24,165
Would you deny your aunt the pleasure?
She's a lonely woman.

232
00:17:24,250 --> 00:17:25,958
-I wonder why.
-Shh.

233
00:17:28,750 --> 00:17:29,790
Brother!

234
00:17:29,875 --> 00:17:32,583
Oh…

235
00:17:32,665 --> 00:17:35,625
How happy I was
to get your message.

236
00:17:35,708 --> 00:17:37,083
I knew you would be.

237
00:17:37,165 --> 00:17:42,790
And, oh, what a lovely long walk I had
to get here.

238
00:17:42,875 --> 00:17:47,208
How clever of you to have built
this hut at the actual end of the world.

239
00:17:47,290 --> 00:17:51,040
Nikolas, oh, it's delightful to see you.

240
00:17:52,750 --> 00:17:54,415
And you, Aunt Carlotta.

241
00:17:54,915 --> 00:17:56,958
Oh, Auntie, please.

242
00:17:57,040 --> 00:17:59,165
We're a happy family.

243
00:18:05,500 --> 00:18:07,125
Hurry up, man. Load up.

244
00:18:07,915 --> 00:18:10,540
Say your goodbyes, woodcutter.

245
00:18:16,040 --> 00:18:17,540
I'll make this worth it.

246
00:18:18,583 --> 00:18:19,625
Nothing could be.

247
00:18:23,375 --> 00:18:25,333
Woodcutter, it's time.

248
00:18:26,208 --> 00:18:27,165
Papa.

249
00:18:28,290 --> 00:18:29,290
Papa.

250
00:18:29,833 --> 00:18:31,750
Okay. I'm ready.

251
00:18:33,375 --> 00:18:34,375
Papa, wait.

252
00:18:36,208 --> 00:18:37,665
-Your knife.
-Ah.

253
00:18:39,790 --> 00:18:40,875
You have this.

254
00:18:40,958 --> 00:18:42,415
Mama made it for you.

255
00:18:42,915 --> 00:18:44,875
She said I might need it one day.

256
00:18:45,458 --> 00:18:48,750
Now I need you to be warm and safe.

257
00:18:49,583 --> 00:18:51,625
-And blind?

258
00:18:55,083 --> 00:18:56,083
I love you.

259
00:19:09,165 --> 00:19:11,375
Finally. What a racket.

260
00:19:15,000 --> 00:19:16,290
Now…

261
00:19:17,790 --> 00:19:19,208
it's just the two of us.

262
00:19:20,665 --> 00:19:23,040
Aunt Carlotta
had turned into exactly--

263
00:19:23,125 --> 00:19:23,958
Stop again.

264
00:19:24,750 --> 00:19:25,583
Yes?

265
00:19:25,665 --> 00:19:28,165
-Will he ever see his dad again?
- Yes.

266
00:19:28,250 --> 00:19:29,083
You promise?

267
00:19:29,583 --> 00:19:31,540
I never lie. Can I go on?

268
00:19:31,625 --> 00:19:32,540
You better.

269
00:19:33,583 --> 00:19:39,958
Right. Aunt Carlotta had turned into
exactly what Nikolas had been dreading.

270
00:19:40,665 --> 00:19:44,665
Out! Move it! Monster, go.

271
00:19:44,750 --> 00:19:48,290
The first rule is you can't sleep in here.
I need my privacy.

272
00:19:48,375 --> 00:19:50,458
-It's so cold out--
-Don't talk back to me.

273
00:19:50,540 --> 00:19:51,958
-I'm not talking--
-Don't talk back!

274
00:19:52,040 --> 00:19:53,708
-It's cold out.
-You're doing it now.

275
00:19:54,208 --> 00:19:56,000
The second rule is…

276
00:19:56,083 --> 00:19:57,833
no rats.

277
00:19:57,915 --> 00:19:59,875
But he's not a rat.
He's a mouse.

278
00:19:59,958 --> 00:20:03,540
He is
a disgusting miniature rat!

279
00:20:03,625 --> 00:20:07,375
-Leave him alone!
-Oh! Oh, you dirty little beast!

280
00:20:07,458 --> 00:20:09,375
-Miika! No, Miika!

281
00:20:09,458 --> 00:20:13,333
And no horrible,
rotten vegetables either! Ugh!

282
00:20:13,415 --> 00:20:14,750
My turnip doll!

283
00:20:14,833 --> 00:20:16,333
My mama made that for me.

284
00:20:16,415 --> 00:20:18,500
Look, he's got a face.

285
00:20:19,583 --> 00:20:24,208
Oh, look, it's got a face. Ugh.
I've forgotten how much I hate children.

286
00:20:52,790 --> 00:20:56,000
You see that, Miika?
It means you have to make a wish.

287
00:20:57,375 --> 00:21:01,290
I wish that my father succeeds,
brings back something magic.

288
00:21:04,583 --> 00:21:05,583
We all need it.

289
00:21:11,458 --> 00:21:14,165
Time is slow
for those who wait.

290
00:21:16,458 --> 00:21:19,875
And as Nikolas waited, he grew thin.

291
00:21:24,250 --> 00:21:26,458
Is that you making
that awful rumbling sound.

292
00:21:26,540 --> 00:21:28,208
It's my tummy, Aunt Carlotta.

293
00:21:28,290 --> 00:21:31,083
Oh, stop complaining.
I'm hungrier than you are.

294
00:21:31,583 --> 00:21:34,040
-You're eating my breakfast.
-I'm not enjoying it.

295
00:21:34,125 --> 00:21:35,665
Even snow has more taste.

296
00:21:37,583 --> 00:21:41,333
Why can't you have nice things
in your house like marzipan or cake?

297
00:21:43,375 --> 00:21:44,375
Chocolate.

298
00:21:46,000 --> 00:21:47,750
Why can't I have a chocolate?

299
00:21:47,833 --> 00:21:50,125
Because these things
don't just appear magically.

300
00:21:54,665 --> 00:21:57,083
Well, wouldn't life be nicer if they did?

301
00:22:01,083 --> 00:22:03,583
Home is not a place.

302
00:22:03,665 --> 00:22:05,040
It's a feeling.

303
00:22:05,750 --> 00:22:10,665
And as the days stretched into weeks
and his father did not return,

304
00:22:11,165 --> 00:22:14,708
Nikolas started to wonder
if he'd ever feel it again.

305
00:22:18,250 --> 00:22:20,665
Oh, Nikolas.

306
00:22:21,583 --> 00:22:23,665
There you are.

307
00:22:25,083 --> 00:22:29,290
I have… ooh, made you some soup.

308
00:22:30,540 --> 00:22:32,083
-You have?
-Mm-hmm.

309
00:22:40,125 --> 00:22:41,165
What's it made with?

310
00:22:43,540 --> 00:22:44,375
Love.

311
00:23:00,208 --> 00:23:01,333
Mmm.

312
00:23:02,708 --> 00:23:05,790
-Yes, that's it.
-Mmm. Mmm.

313
00:23:05,875 --> 00:23:07,458
Eat up.

314
00:23:09,208 --> 00:23:11,125
-Ouch!

315
00:23:12,165 --> 00:23:15,458
-I should never have come here.
-You can always go home.

316
00:23:15,958 --> 00:23:18,750
I've got Miika
and the turnip doll Mama made me.

317
00:23:21,333 --> 00:23:22,333
So I'll be fine.

318
00:23:24,040 --> 00:23:29,500
Funny you should mention that thing.

319
00:23:46,750 --> 00:23:49,708
-No! How could you do that?

320
00:23:49,790 --> 00:23:53,790
Oh, you're such a sentimental fool.
Just like your mother was.

321
00:23:53,875 --> 00:23:58,083
Don't you dare speak about her like that!
She was kind and caring--

322
00:23:58,165 --> 00:24:02,208
And foolish! Just like your father,
running through the woods chasing stories,

323
00:24:02,290 --> 00:24:04,165
which will surely get him killed too.

324
00:24:04,833 --> 00:24:07,583
Everyone knows
there is no such thing as elves.

325
00:24:07,665 --> 00:24:08,915
That's not true.

326
00:24:09,000 --> 00:24:13,040
And there is no such place as Elfhelm.

327
00:24:16,708 --> 00:24:17,790
-No!

328
00:24:17,875 --> 00:24:19,708
Get that thing
out of the house!

329
00:24:19,790 --> 00:24:21,915
-No!
-You little brat!

330
00:24:27,875 --> 00:24:28,790
It's ruined.

331
00:24:50,250 --> 00:24:51,458
Over the river,

332
00:24:52,500 --> 00:24:53,458
under the moon,

333
00:24:54,583 --> 00:24:55,958
up the pointy mountain,

334
00:24:57,250 --> 00:24:58,750
past the sleeping giants…

335
00:25:02,833 --> 00:25:04,750
Elfhelm.

336
00:25:10,290 --> 00:25:14,583
And just like that,
Nikolas had a purpose.

337
00:25:15,958 --> 00:25:16,875
A mission.

338
00:25:42,290 --> 00:25:45,500
I'm going to find my father, Miika,
and give him the map.

339
00:25:46,125 --> 00:25:48,665
But it's a long and dangerous journey
to the far north

340
00:25:48,750 --> 00:25:50,333
with a high risk of death.

341
00:25:51,625 --> 00:25:53,000
You don't have to come.

342
00:26:03,875 --> 00:26:06,958
Sometimes I'm glad
you don't understand a word I say.

343
00:26:08,915 --> 00:26:12,208
-Trees. Trees.

344
00:26:12,750 --> 00:26:15,458
And so the two friends
began their journey…

345
00:26:15,540 --> 00:26:16,540
Trees.

346
00:26:16,625 --> 00:26:21,000
…away from misery
and towards the great unknown.

347
00:26:22,000 --> 00:26:23,665
The far north.

348
00:27:05,790 --> 00:27:06,875
Hey, boy.

349
00:27:11,040 --> 00:27:12,000
Good morning.

350
00:27:12,708 --> 00:27:16,125
Where go you, mysterious boy
with a mouse on your shoulder?

351
00:27:16,208 --> 00:27:17,790
I'm going to help my father.

352
00:27:17,875 --> 00:27:20,083
He's part of an expedition
to the far north.

353
00:27:20,165 --> 00:27:23,458
You're too small
to help anybody, little boy.

354
00:27:23,958 --> 00:27:26,290
And the far north is a dangerous place.

355
00:27:26,375 --> 00:27:29,708
-No, they've gone to find Elfhelm.

356
00:27:32,083 --> 00:27:36,540
Never believe anything,
especially fairy tales

357
00:27:36,625 --> 00:27:40,665
about magical towns
with tiny, happy people.

358
00:27:41,665 --> 00:27:44,665
Fall off a bridge, boy. It'll hurt less.

359
00:27:59,750 --> 00:28:04,000
With just the map
to guide him, Nikolas plowed on.

360
00:28:08,250 --> 00:28:10,583
Cold and hungry.

361
00:28:12,290 --> 00:28:16,750
The words of the old woman ringing
in his ears.

362
00:28:16,833 --> 00:28:18,625
She's wrong, isn't she, Miika?

363
00:28:20,250 --> 00:28:22,790
We'll find him. I know we will.

364
00:28:23,833 --> 00:28:25,750
We just…

365
00:28:27,958 --> 00:28:29,375
We just have to get there.

366
00:28:33,540 --> 00:28:34,540
This way.

367
00:29:03,625 --> 00:29:05,040
Do you believe in magic, Miika?

368
00:29:07,833 --> 00:29:10,000
Because I don't think I do anymore.

369
00:29:12,583 --> 00:29:17,333
If there was a time where you could prove
that magic was true and real and amazing,

370
00:29:18,165 --> 00:29:19,540
it would be this one.

371
00:29:23,790 --> 00:29:24,625
Boy.

372
00:29:26,708 --> 00:29:30,458
Mouse. Tree. Ball. Spoon. Huh.

373
00:29:30,540 --> 00:29:32,915
Miika, you can talk.

374
00:29:33,000 --> 00:29:35,708
Yeah, of course, I can talk.
And I can fly as well.

375
00:29:36,375 --> 00:29:37,750
No, just kidding. No mice can fly.

376
00:29:37,833 --> 00:29:40,333
-That'd be absurd.
-Why didn't you speak before?

377
00:29:40,415 --> 00:29:42,458
I was waiting
until I could form a proper sentence,

378
00:29:42,540 --> 00:29:46,583
which, with your one word at a time
teaching system, did take forever.

379
00:29:46,665 --> 00:29:50,040
So, um, can we talk about
something very important?

380
00:29:50,125 --> 00:29:51,708
-What's that?
-Cheese.

381
00:29:53,208 --> 00:29:54,415
Does it exist?

382
00:29:55,415 --> 00:29:58,750
I've never seen any.
That doesn't mean I don't believe in it.

383
00:29:58,833 --> 00:30:01,833
Well, I'd rather taste it
than just believe in it. But, uh…

384
00:30:05,000 --> 00:30:06,583
This is what you call a fire, is it?

385
00:30:10,040 --> 00:30:11,040
Trees.

386
00:30:11,790 --> 00:30:15,500
We are walking…
We are walking among the snowy trees.

387
00:30:17,165 --> 00:30:18,915
What's that? Oh, look, squirrel.

388
00:30:19,665 --> 00:30:21,333
Dead, frozen squirrel.

389
00:30:22,040 --> 00:30:24,750
Strange word, isn't it? Squirrel.

390
00:30:24,833 --> 00:30:26,708
Hello, I'm a little squirrel.

391
00:30:30,625 --> 00:30:34,625
What's the word
for, um, the really scary big thing

392
00:30:34,708 --> 00:30:37,165
that has four legs
and sort of horns on its head?

393
00:30:37,250 --> 00:30:40,583
-What's that… What's that word?
-I don't know. Reindeer?

394
00:30:40,665 --> 00:30:43,208
-That's it. Yeah, a reindeer.
-Why'd you ask?

395
00:30:43,290 --> 00:30:45,790
Oh, no reason except
one's charging straight at us!

396
00:30:51,708 --> 00:30:54,415
-Pick me up! Go, go, go!

397
00:31:12,375 --> 00:31:13,375
Hold on, Miika.

398
00:31:31,083 --> 00:31:32,665
-I think he's hurt.
-So?

399
00:31:35,708 --> 00:31:37,415
Look, an arrow.

400
00:31:37,500 --> 00:31:40,583
Ignore it. I'm pretty sure
it will just fall out on its own.

401
00:31:41,165 --> 00:31:44,915
-Just leave it. It's not our problem.

402
00:31:46,750 --> 00:31:48,250
-Now it's our problem.

403
00:31:48,333 --> 00:31:49,583
Whoa, whoa, whoa.

404
00:31:50,583 --> 00:31:53,040
-Calm down, boy. It's all right.

405
00:31:56,208 --> 00:31:57,040
See?

406
00:32:09,208 --> 00:32:12,958
Okay, I'm not gonna hurt you. Okay?

407
00:32:15,040 --> 00:32:16,790
-Touch his face, yeah?
-Don't worry.

408
00:32:16,875 --> 00:32:18,708
-Shh.

409
00:32:21,458 --> 00:32:24,500
-Anders, the hunter.

410
00:32:35,958 --> 00:32:38,125
You ready? On three.

411
00:32:40,540 --> 00:32:42,958
One, two…

412
00:32:50,000 --> 00:32:52,625
Don't worry. It's all right. It's okay.

413
00:32:53,250 --> 00:32:56,208
See? Nothing to worry about.

414
00:33:08,958 --> 00:33:11,083
Good boy. Have a nice day.

415
00:33:11,750 --> 00:33:12,833
Cheers, mate.

416
00:33:13,583 --> 00:33:15,708
Well, that went
a lot better than expected.

417
00:33:15,790 --> 00:33:17,375
Given I thought we were both gonna die.

418
00:33:51,915 --> 00:33:52,875
Shoo!

419
00:33:53,833 --> 00:33:57,500
You don't want to come with us.
We have a long way still to go.

420
00:34:11,000 --> 00:34:13,208
-You want me to climb on your back?

421
00:34:15,000 --> 00:34:17,875
-Sorry, what's happening?
-Is that a "yes" in reindeer?

422
00:34:17,958 --> 00:34:21,583
-Let's go with no. How about that?
-I don't think we have a choice.

423
00:34:21,666 --> 00:34:24,333
Why teach me to talk
if you're never gonna listen?

424
00:34:24,416 --> 00:34:27,000
Don't. Definitely no…
Okay, we're climbing on.

425
00:34:29,833 --> 00:34:30,833
Whoa!

426
00:34:58,458 --> 00:34:59,583
Look, Miika!

427
00:35:00,458 --> 00:35:02,291
The very pointy mountain.

428
00:35:02,375 --> 00:35:03,750
We're nearly there.

429
00:35:09,291 --> 00:35:12,875
I can't just call you reindeer.
I'll pick a name for you.

430
00:35:12,958 --> 00:35:15,666
Oh, bad idea.
That's how I ended up with Miika.

431
00:35:17,000 --> 00:35:21,083
When I was young, I used to go sledding
with my mom around Lake Blitzen.

432
00:35:21,666 --> 00:35:23,041
How about that for a name?

433
00:35:23,125 --> 00:35:25,750
Which one?
Lake or Blitzen? Or… Or both?

434
00:35:25,833 --> 00:35:28,958
Do you mean both?
That seems a bit much to me.

435
00:35:29,666 --> 00:35:31,833
Onward, my faithful reindeer,
Lake Blitzen.

436
00:35:31,916 --> 00:35:33,208
-Miika.
-Huh?

437
00:35:33,291 --> 00:35:34,125
Look.

438
00:35:37,208 --> 00:35:38,500
Sleeping giants.

439
00:35:44,583 --> 00:35:47,000
-We're getting close.
-To what?

440
00:35:48,708 --> 00:35:49,708
Elfhelm.

441
00:35:51,166 --> 00:35:52,166
My father.

442
00:35:59,583 --> 00:36:02,083
But on the other side
of the mountain,

443
00:36:03,000 --> 00:36:07,041
they found only snow and more snow.

444
00:36:08,791 --> 00:36:11,875
Elfhelm was nowhere in sight.

445
00:36:12,541 --> 00:36:13,875
I don't understand.

446
00:36:14,583 --> 00:36:17,708
We must have made a wrong turn.
There's nothing here.

447
00:36:19,708 --> 00:36:20,791
Nothing here.

448
00:36:21,458 --> 00:36:24,791
What do you mean nothing here?
Wasn't this the plan?

449
00:36:25,875 --> 00:36:28,833
What are we gonna do, Nikolas? Wait.

450
00:36:30,625 --> 00:36:31,625
Wait.

451
00:36:32,458 --> 00:36:35,375
Nikolas, what are we gonna do?

452
00:36:39,125 --> 00:36:41,083
-Blitzen, over there!

453
00:36:42,333 --> 00:36:45,416
And then
things took a turn for the worse.

454
00:36:56,833 --> 00:36:57,666
Papa.

455
00:36:59,083 --> 00:37:01,541
Is… Is that his knife?

456
00:37:02,333 --> 00:37:05,208
Nikolas felt doubt
weighing him down.

457
00:37:05,291 --> 00:37:06,208
Papa.

458
00:37:06,291 --> 00:37:08,625
The quest out of reach.

459
00:37:08,708 --> 00:37:10,333
Nikolas, what's wrong?

460
00:37:10,416 --> 00:37:13,250
I tried to find him, Miika,
but I couldn't.

461
00:37:15,041 --> 00:37:16,958
The temperature plummeted.

462
00:37:17,041 --> 00:37:18,375
I'm so tired.

463
00:37:18,458 --> 00:37:21,041
The air itself began to freeze.

464
00:37:21,125 --> 00:37:21,958
Nikolas.

465
00:37:22,041 --> 00:37:24,625
Nikolas's heartbeat slowed,

466
00:37:25,750 --> 00:37:28,375
each breath an effort.

467
00:37:28,458 --> 00:37:29,708
Nikolas.

468
00:37:29,791 --> 00:37:31,958
He had done
everything he could.

469
00:37:33,000 --> 00:37:34,666
But it wasn't enough.

470
00:37:36,125 --> 00:37:40,250
What do you think? Should we leave
it there tonight? It's getting late.

471
00:37:42,500 --> 00:37:44,500
I mean, I can come back next year.

472
00:37:46,250 --> 00:37:48,166
I'm just kidding. I'll crack on.

473
00:37:51,208 --> 00:37:54,333
Nikolas was lying there in the snow,

474
00:37:55,500 --> 00:37:57,791
frozen and forgotten.

475
00:37:59,000 --> 00:38:01,375
Nikolas. Wake up, please.

476
00:38:05,458 --> 00:38:06,666
Nikolas, hey.

477
00:38:06,750 --> 00:38:09,625
When suddenly,
there was a noise.

478
00:38:09,708 --> 00:38:12,166
-You hear that? Somebody's…

479
00:38:12,958 --> 00:38:14,208
Somebody's coming closer.

480
00:38:15,125 --> 00:38:19,000
Oh, they're here to help.
Nikolas, we're safe. We're--

481
00:38:25,125 --> 00:38:25,958
No, we're doomed.

482
00:38:42,333 --> 00:38:44,750
Look at his strange ears, Grandpapa.

483
00:38:44,833 --> 00:38:47,000
Human ears can take a lot
of getting used to.

484
00:38:49,125 --> 00:38:51,750
He's a human. Will he eat us?

485
00:38:51,833 --> 00:38:53,708
Oh no, no. We're quite safe.

486
00:38:55,125 --> 00:38:59,000
-But what about what happened--
-We must always help those in trouble.

487
00:38:59,583 --> 00:39:01,250
Even if they are human.

488
00:39:26,458 --> 00:39:28,625
Where am I? Who are you?

489
00:39:28,708 --> 00:39:29,708
I'm Little Noosh.

490
00:39:29,791 --> 00:39:31,666
And I am Father Topo.

491
00:39:31,750 --> 00:39:36,375
Noosh's great-great-grandfather,
if you can believe that.

492
00:39:38,458 --> 00:39:39,500
Am I dead?

493
00:39:39,583 --> 00:39:43,166
No, Grandpapa just worked
a little drimwick on you.

494
00:39:43,958 --> 00:39:45,958
-What's a drimwick?
-Yeah, what's a drimwick?

495
00:39:46,041 --> 00:39:48,208
A drimwick is a hope spell.

496
00:39:48,875 --> 00:39:53,250
I hoped for you to be strong
and warm and always safe.

497
00:39:53,750 --> 00:39:56,458
-Always safe? That's impossible.

498
00:39:56,541 --> 00:39:59,958
We… We never ever say that word.

499
00:40:00,041 --> 00:40:06,250
Uh, an impossibility is only a possibility
that you don't understand yet.

500
00:40:06,333 --> 00:40:09,375
But now we must get as far away
from you as possible.

501
00:40:09,458 --> 00:40:11,125
And you must leave Elfhelm.

502
00:40:11,708 --> 00:40:14,875
Elfhelm? The elf village?
But I'm not even there.

503
00:40:14,958 --> 00:40:16,791
You silly.

504
00:40:16,875 --> 00:40:19,583
We're standing at the bottom
of the street of Seven Curves,

505
00:40:19,666 --> 00:40:21,458
the longest street in Elfhelm.

506
00:40:21,541 --> 00:40:24,208
I'm sorry. We're in the middle of nowhere.

507
00:40:25,083 --> 00:40:26,166
There's just snow.

508
00:40:27,208 --> 00:40:28,291
Is he blind?

509
00:40:28,958 --> 00:40:30,583
He doesn't know how to see.

510
00:40:30,666 --> 00:40:33,708
Wait, I've risked everything
to find Elfhelm.

511
00:40:35,333 --> 00:40:38,708
You have to let me see it. Just once.

512
00:40:41,291 --> 00:40:42,500
To see something…

513
00:40:44,791 --> 00:40:46,291
you must believe in it.

514
00:40:47,250 --> 00:40:49,250
Really believe.

515
00:40:51,416 --> 00:40:52,375
Go ahead.

516
00:40:53,000 --> 00:40:54,375
Try your hardest,

517
00:40:54,916 --> 00:40:57,750
and see if you can see what
it is you're searching for.

518
00:41:15,000 --> 00:41:16,041
Go on.

519
00:41:17,291 --> 00:41:18,458
Believe!

520
00:41:37,166 --> 00:41:38,250
Elfhelm.

521
00:42:14,708 --> 00:42:18,000
Wait a licking minute.
What is this?

522
00:42:18,916 --> 00:42:20,375
-Elfhelm.

523
00:42:20,458 --> 00:42:22,583
-Look at it!
-It's incredible!

524
00:42:24,458 --> 00:42:28,375
Oh! I'm gonna be honest, kid.
I did not see this one working out for us.

525
00:42:28,458 --> 00:42:31,250
Yes, and now you've seen our home,

526
00:42:31,333 --> 00:42:34,625
please take your reindeer
and your mouse and… and go.

527
00:42:34,708 --> 00:42:37,166
Whatever it is you're looking for,
you won't find it here.

528
00:42:37,250 --> 00:42:41,208
I came to find my father. I traveled
a long way to give him this hat.

529
00:42:41,291 --> 00:42:44,125
-Get out of the way! Move it.
-Quick. Shh!

530
00:42:44,708 --> 00:42:46,083
We're already too late.

531
00:42:47,875 --> 00:42:49,791
-In here.
-Get back to work!

532
00:42:49,875 --> 00:42:50,916
-Ooh.

533
00:42:57,500 --> 00:42:58,583
Why are we hiding?

534
00:42:59,333 --> 00:43:00,333
Not now.

535
00:43:03,125 --> 00:43:05,041
-Who's Little Kip?
-What?

536
00:43:05,125 --> 00:43:06,333
Who is Little Kip?

537
00:43:08,333 --> 00:43:09,791
Hey, you dippy!

538
00:43:09,875 --> 00:43:11,000
We have to go.

539
00:43:11,083 --> 00:43:11,958
Stop her!

540
00:43:12,041 --> 00:43:14,500
-This way.
-Wipe that smile off your face!

541
00:43:15,416 --> 00:43:16,416
Up there.

542
00:43:17,166 --> 00:43:20,833
-I don't understand any of this.

543
00:43:20,916 --> 00:43:24,625
I thought Elfhelm was the happiest,
most magical place in the world.

544
00:43:24,708 --> 00:43:26,375
-It was.
-And will be again.

545
00:43:26,458 --> 00:43:28,625
That's what we in the Resistance believe.

546
00:43:28,708 --> 00:43:30,125
-The Resistance?

547
00:43:33,333 --> 00:43:35,041
What do you mean, Resistance?

548
00:43:35,125 --> 00:43:36,333
Quick! In.

549
00:43:37,458 --> 00:43:38,291
In!

550
00:43:48,125 --> 00:43:49,875
Listen, human…

551
00:43:52,250 --> 00:43:55,083
…when you go in there, just, um…

552
00:43:56,875 --> 00:43:57,875
Well, you'll see.

553
00:43:59,125 --> 00:44:00,000
Go where?

554
00:44:07,791 --> 00:44:10,041
-Give me your hand.

555
00:44:10,625 --> 00:44:11,916
Merry Christmas!

556
00:44:14,958 --> 00:44:16,375
Give us another twirl!

557
00:44:17,333 --> 00:44:18,333
Merry Christmas!

558
00:44:18,416 --> 00:44:19,666
Merry Christmas!

559
00:44:19,750 --> 00:44:21,291
Well, there you have it.

560
00:44:26,875 --> 00:44:29,083
-Merry!

561
00:44:29,166 --> 00:44:32,125
This is the Resistance.

562
00:44:32,208 --> 00:44:33,458
To what? Sanity?

563
00:44:33,541 --> 00:44:35,083
Merry, Merry, Christmas!

564
00:44:35,166 --> 00:44:36,458
Merry Christmas!

565
00:44:37,291 --> 00:44:40,458
Nikolas! Nikolas, what is this?

566
00:44:42,791 --> 00:44:44,541
It's… It's cake city!

567
00:44:47,583 --> 00:44:48,708
That's incredible.

568
00:44:49,500 --> 00:44:50,958
Hey there, beautiful.

569
00:44:51,791 --> 00:44:53,625
Wait there. I'll be right back.

570
00:44:58,750 --> 00:45:01,791
No idea what
this Christmas thing is, but I love it.

571
00:45:05,000 --> 00:45:08,083
Hey, Nikolas,
guess who just ate a chair.

572
00:45:08,625 --> 00:45:12,333
Oh, don't worry, sugar glass.
I'm fine and stuffed.

573
00:45:12,916 --> 00:45:14,500
Help yourself. It's yummy.

574
00:45:14,583 --> 00:45:17,583
-I couldn't eat another thing.
-Merry Christmas!

575
00:45:17,666 --> 00:45:19,833
-So good.
-Give me a bite.

576
00:45:19,916 --> 00:45:22,833
-Father Topo.
-Yeah. Hmm?

577
00:45:22,916 --> 00:45:25,083
Did they just say Christmas?

578
00:45:25,166 --> 00:45:27,000
Yes, this is a Christmas party.

579
00:45:27,708 --> 00:45:31,541
What is Christmas?
That's the name my mother used to call me.

580
00:45:31,625 --> 00:45:32,750
I beg your pardon.

581
00:45:33,500 --> 00:45:36,125
Did you just say what is Christmas?

582
00:45:37,125 --> 00:45:38,958
-Yes?
-Apologies for my friend.

583
00:45:39,041 --> 00:45:42,875
He's a simpleton. A Christmas
is a city made of cakes, isn't it?

584
00:45:42,958 --> 00:45:46,666
That's the saddest thing
I've ever heard in my entire life.

585
00:45:46,750 --> 00:45:50,291
Christmas is the greatest day of all
because it is the kindest day of all.

586
00:45:50,375 --> 00:45:51,916
And the brightest and the smiley-est.

587
00:45:52,000 --> 00:45:54,875
A day when being openhearted
is the most important thing of all,

588
00:45:54,958 --> 00:45:57,375
which is why
we won't let them take it from us.

589
00:45:57,458 --> 00:45:59,541
Enough, Little Noosh.

590
00:45:59,625 --> 00:46:01,750
It is time to talk of easier things.

591
00:46:01,833 --> 00:46:05,750
Now we have told you our names,
but you have yet to tell us yours.

592
00:46:05,833 --> 00:46:07,625
-Name's Miika. Okay.
-I'm Nikolas.

593
00:46:07,708 --> 00:46:11,791
Oh, that cheered me right up.
That sounds like Nekilas.

594
00:46:11,875 --> 00:46:15,416
My word. Yes, it does.
Nekilas. Nekilas.

595
00:46:15,500 --> 00:46:17,166
Nekilas. Bleh.

596
00:46:17,250 --> 00:46:19,333
-Nekilas is bad because…

597
00:46:19,416 --> 00:46:22,625
It's a rather smelly sausage
only eaten by trolls.

598
00:46:22,708 --> 00:46:24,625
-Trolls exist too?

599
00:46:24,708 --> 00:46:27,375
-Raid!

600
00:46:27,458 --> 00:46:29,250
-Run! Run!

601
00:46:29,833 --> 00:46:31,916
Run! Run!

602
00:46:32,000 --> 00:46:33,875
Everybody, get down!

603
00:46:33,958 --> 00:46:37,875
-You heard the elf. Get down.
-Don't you point that thing at me.

604
00:46:38,958 --> 00:46:39,958
Sorry, Mum.

605
00:47:01,000 --> 00:47:03,375
-What's going on?
-Shh! Shh!

606
00:47:35,833 --> 00:47:37,375
So the rumors are true.

607
00:47:40,208 --> 00:47:42,958
There are still elves that like to party.

608
00:47:43,041 --> 00:47:44,916
-Mother Vodal--
-Quiet!

609
00:47:51,000 --> 00:47:52,958
Have we learnt nothing?

610
00:47:55,416 --> 00:47:59,583
Has the suffering of the past months
made us not a jot wiser?

611
00:48:02,333 --> 00:48:05,458
Are the new rules to be completely igno--

612
00:48:09,416 --> 00:48:14,250
Who or rather what is that?

613
00:48:16,041 --> 00:48:17,500
-I'm--
-My name's Miika, Mum.

614
00:48:17,583 --> 00:48:21,125
-Have you never seen a mouse before?
-I have. I wasn't addressing you.

615
00:48:21,208 --> 00:48:22,500
My most humble apologies.

616
00:48:22,583 --> 00:48:24,666
-I'm Nikolas.
-But it wasn't clear.

617
00:48:25,291 --> 00:48:27,250
-I'm human.

618
00:48:29,166 --> 00:48:32,750
I see that too. I just don't believe it.

619
00:48:36,458 --> 00:48:42,208
Father Topo, unless I'm much mistaken,
which I never am,

620
00:48:42,291 --> 00:48:46,333
you were at the last council meeting.

621
00:48:46,416 --> 00:48:47,708
Yes. I was.

622
00:48:48,958 --> 00:48:52,750
It was at that meeting that the new rules
for elves were introduced.

623
00:48:52,833 --> 00:48:56,041
The most important
and least breakable being

624
00:48:56,750 --> 00:49:02,208
that no humans
can ever, ever be brought here.

625
00:49:02,291 --> 00:49:05,083
But I… I didn't bring him here.

626
00:49:07,041 --> 00:49:08,041
I found him.

627
00:49:09,083 --> 00:49:10,916
-A whisker from death.
-Oh.

628
00:49:11,500 --> 00:49:16,708
So I… I performed a… a small hope spell.

629
00:49:16,791 --> 00:49:18,166
A drimwick.

630
00:49:21,125 --> 00:49:22,166
On a human.

631
00:49:23,666 --> 00:49:24,666
Little one.

632
00:49:27,666 --> 00:49:29,833
-You fool.

633
00:49:31,041 --> 00:49:33,291
Who knows what power you've unleashed!

634
00:49:33,375 --> 00:49:36,083
Please, it was the only way
I could save him.

635
00:49:36,166 --> 00:49:40,333
Let us remember
the way things were before.

636
00:49:40,416 --> 00:49:42,500
We are elves.

637
00:49:42,583 --> 00:49:44,791
We… we use our powers for good.

638
00:49:44,875 --> 00:49:48,000
What good is that
when we are under attack?

639
00:49:49,125 --> 00:49:50,791
We must adapt.

640
00:49:52,625 --> 00:49:54,500
We must send a clear message

641
00:49:54,583 --> 00:49:57,375
that no outsiders
are allowed here anymore.

642
00:49:58,250 --> 00:50:02,375
It was on this platform
that I was elected holder of the staff.

643
00:50:03,125 --> 00:50:04,708
Ruler of Elfhelm.

644
00:50:04,791 --> 00:50:06,875
But in fairness, Mother Vodal--

645
00:50:06,958 --> 00:50:09,000
-Be quiet!

646
00:50:12,833 --> 00:50:13,666
Uh…

647
00:50:19,833 --> 00:50:24,833
Now, human, tell me why you came here.

648
00:50:24,916 --> 00:50:27,333
-I came to look for my father.
-Your father?

649
00:50:27,416 --> 00:50:30,833
Yes. He came to Elfhelm
to try and find something magical.

650
00:50:30,916 --> 00:50:32,083
She doesn't need to know that.

651
00:50:32,166 --> 00:50:35,750
Did he travel, by chance,
with a group of other men?

652
00:50:35,833 --> 00:50:39,458
Yes. Have you seen him?
Did he actually make it to Elfhelm?

653
00:50:39,541 --> 00:50:42,833
Oh, he was here all right.
He was one of them.

654
00:50:53,000 --> 00:50:54,166
What did you do to him?

655
00:50:55,041 --> 00:50:56,625
I trusted him.

656
00:50:57,791 --> 00:50:59,000
We all did.

657
00:51:00,250 --> 00:51:01,208
And why not?

658
00:51:02,791 --> 00:51:05,708
A human had visited us once before…

659
00:51:08,000 --> 00:51:09,166
too briefly.

660
00:51:10,750 --> 00:51:12,916
And her stay brought us such joy.

661
00:51:15,416 --> 00:51:19,958
For years we waited ready to welcome
any others who found their way to Elfhelm

662
00:51:20,958 --> 00:51:22,666
to show them good will,

663
00:51:24,166 --> 00:51:27,875
which these men proved
was just another name for weakness.

664
00:51:27,958 --> 00:51:29,000
What are you talking about?

665
00:51:29,083 --> 00:51:31,916
I'm speaking,
of course, of poor Little Kip.

666
00:51:32,000 --> 00:51:33,083
Who's Little Kip?

667
00:51:35,791 --> 00:51:38,333
Little Kip's parents are here.
You can ask them yourself.

668
00:51:39,791 --> 00:51:42,083
Please tell me. What did these men do?

669
00:51:45,208 --> 00:51:46,791
Speak! Answer him!

670
00:51:47,458 --> 00:51:50,250
-They took our boy.
-They kidnapped Little Kip.

671
00:51:50,333 --> 00:51:54,125
No! You must be wrong.
My father would never do such a thing.

672
00:51:54,208 --> 00:51:55,250
And yet he did.

673
00:51:56,333 --> 00:51:59,291
Which is why at the election,
I put myself forward

674
00:51:59,791 --> 00:52:02,083
with the motto, "Elves for Elves."

675
00:52:02,666 --> 00:52:05,666
No more silly parties
where we let our guards down.

676
00:52:05,750 --> 00:52:07,916
No more wanton carelessness.

677
00:52:09,333 --> 00:52:10,625
No more singing.

678
00:52:11,125 --> 00:52:15,041
And an outright ban on spickle dancing!

679
00:52:18,083 --> 00:52:19,250
No more kindness.

680
00:52:20,875 --> 00:52:22,166
No more joy.

681
00:52:24,708 --> 00:52:26,958
No more Christmas.

682
00:52:27,041 --> 00:52:30,208
Guards! Take him to the tower!

683
00:52:31,500 --> 00:52:32,375
Move it.

684
00:52:35,000 --> 00:52:36,000
Give me that.

685
00:52:41,375 --> 00:52:42,541
-Miika.
-Yeah.

686
00:52:43,333 --> 00:52:46,666
-Get out of here while you still can.
-No, I'm not gonna leave you.

687
00:52:46,750 --> 00:52:48,833
We don't know what's waiting
for us in that dark tower.

688
00:52:48,916 --> 00:52:51,541
I'm not gonna--
Wait, what could be up there?

689
00:52:51,625 --> 00:52:54,541
It could be torture,
dismemberment, or even death.

690
00:52:54,625 --> 00:52:55,625
What's that? Hey!

691
00:52:55,708 --> 00:52:56,875
-Nikolas!
-Miika!

692
00:52:56,958 --> 00:52:58,333
He's smuggling a mouse!

693
00:52:58,833 --> 00:53:00,875
Move it! You're on your own now.

694
00:53:15,375 --> 00:53:17,291
-Get through that door.

695
00:53:27,000 --> 00:53:28,416
Where are you taking me?

696
00:53:29,208 --> 00:53:30,041
Get in!

697
00:53:32,958 --> 00:53:36,166
Please, if I could just find my father,
I'm sure he'd clear it all up.

698
00:53:36,750 --> 00:53:39,958
-Please, I'm telling the truth!

699
00:53:40,958 --> 00:53:43,166
-Please, I'm telling the truth.

700
00:53:46,375 --> 00:53:48,791
You don't know
the first thing about truth.

701
00:53:52,750 --> 00:53:53,750
Nobody does.

702
00:53:55,458 --> 00:53:57,500
My lonely heart is the proof.

703
00:53:58,208 --> 00:54:00,125
Um, are you an elf?

704
00:54:00,208 --> 00:54:02,458
No, gross. I'm a pixie.

705
00:54:04,000 --> 00:54:04,875
Truth Pixie.

706
00:54:06,500 --> 00:54:08,791
You must be lying. There's no such thing.

707
00:54:08,875 --> 00:54:13,000
I can't lie. I'm a truth pixie.
That gets me into trouble.

708
00:54:13,666 --> 00:54:15,666
That and making people's heads explode,
but I mean--

709
00:54:17,666 --> 00:54:18,791
Wait, what?

710
00:54:22,333 --> 00:54:25,416
Okay, so what I do is I slip a hewlip leaf
into someone's mouth,

711
00:54:25,500 --> 00:54:28,958
and 12 seconds later,
they explode.

712
00:54:31,208 --> 00:54:35,125
Look, I need to find my father.
Could you help me?

713
00:54:35,208 --> 00:54:38,791
I could, but I don't want to.

714
00:54:40,250 --> 00:54:44,458
I told you I never lie,
and saving your father doesn't sound fun.

715
00:54:46,291 --> 00:54:48,875
How about Little Kip?
What do you know about him?

716
00:54:49,875 --> 00:54:51,375
He's got a funny name.

717
00:54:51,458 --> 00:54:54,291
-Humans kidnapped him--
-No, it's all a big misunderstanding.

718
00:54:54,375 --> 00:54:56,625
If I could find my father,
I'm sure he'd clear it all up.

719
00:54:56,708 --> 00:54:59,833
Argh! What a boring idea.
Good thing we're locked up in here.

720
00:55:00,416 --> 00:55:02,708
-Oh yes, hold this.
-What?

721
00:55:03,833 --> 00:55:07,083
-Ouch!
-I'm calling them crackers.

722
00:55:07,166 --> 00:55:10,541
Not quite as potent as hewlip,
but plenty of trouble in the right hands.

723
00:55:10,625 --> 00:55:12,708
-What was that for?
-Waking up the troll.

724
00:55:12,791 --> 00:55:16,000
-What troll?
-The one right behind you.

725
00:55:27,375 --> 00:55:28,875
-Huh?

726
00:55:37,083 --> 00:55:39,625
I would recommend
you squeeze the head until it pops,

727
00:55:39,708 --> 00:55:42,958
suck out all the juicy bits
and then work your way down to the toes.

728
00:55:43,041 --> 00:55:45,125
Are you insane?

729
00:55:45,208 --> 00:55:47,000
I'm sorry. It just comes out.

730
00:55:47,083 --> 00:55:49,666
-Ahh! Can you help me, please?

731
00:55:51,000 --> 00:55:54,041
I thought
you have to tell the truth.

732
00:55:54,125 --> 00:55:57,791
I do have one hewlip leaf left,
but I'm saving up something special.

733
00:55:57,875 --> 00:56:00,000
This is special.
I'm being eaten!

734
00:56:01,291 --> 00:56:03,416
-Okay, fine.

735
00:56:12,125 --> 00:56:13,583
-Grab it!

736
00:56:14,458 --> 00:56:16,541
-Shove it in his mouth!
-Aah!

737
00:56:26,541 --> 00:56:32,000
Nine, eight, seven, six…

738
00:56:32,500 --> 00:56:33,333
Hold my hand.

739
00:56:35,541 --> 00:56:37,250
Three, two…

740
00:56:42,833 --> 00:56:43,666
We're flying!

741
00:56:43,750 --> 00:56:46,291
More like not dropping.
Have you been exposed to magic recently?

742
00:56:46,375 --> 00:56:48,333
I was drimwicked,
but I'm not sure what that means.

743
00:56:48,416 --> 00:56:50,416
A drimwick is a boring type of elf magic.

744
00:56:50,500 --> 00:56:52,458
It only works
if you're thinking of something good.

745
00:56:52,541 --> 00:56:56,208
I was thinking about people and things
I love, my mother, my father, and Miika.

746
00:56:56,291 --> 00:56:58,125
-Who's Miika?
-He's my mouse friend.

747
00:56:58,208 --> 00:57:01,250
How fun! I've never
blown up a mouse before.

748
00:57:01,833 --> 00:57:03,583
Now what's happening?

749
00:57:03,666 --> 00:57:05,500
I think
I spoiled the moment.

750
00:57:05,583 --> 00:57:07,166
I'm picturing beautiful things.

751
00:57:07,250 --> 00:57:08,958
I'm thinking
of a dead mouse.

752
00:57:09,041 --> 00:57:11,166
Now that's all
I can picture too!

753
00:57:16,541 --> 00:57:18,958
Where are they? Where are they?

754
00:57:19,041 --> 00:57:21,291
-Come along quickly!
-Move!

755
00:57:21,375 --> 00:57:22,958
-Hurry up.
-Out of the way.

756
00:57:23,041 --> 00:57:24,625
Anyone seen them?

757
00:57:24,708 --> 00:57:25,958
-Come on.
-Why?

758
00:57:26,041 --> 00:57:29,291
-Where are they?
-Oh, yoo-hoo! Hi! We're up here!

759
00:57:29,375 --> 00:57:32,375
-What are you doing?
-On the roof. There they are.

760
00:57:33,500 --> 00:57:37,000
-No! How about just not saying anything?
-I wish I could.

761
00:57:38,083 --> 00:57:39,708
You know how many people want
to be friends

762
00:57:39,791 --> 00:57:41,750
with someone who only speaks the truth?

763
00:57:42,291 --> 00:57:45,416
-Not many?
-Not any, human boy.

764
00:57:46,666 --> 00:57:50,250
Listen, I really can't keep
calling you human boy,

765
00:57:50,333 --> 00:57:53,166
even though you're
a particularly perfect example of one.

766
00:57:53,708 --> 00:57:58,125
Let's be honest, I'm not in a position
to be turning away friend material.

767
00:57:58,208 --> 00:58:00,833
So, new friend, what should I call you?

768
00:58:00,916 --> 00:58:02,791
My mom used to call me Christmas,

769
00:58:03,958 --> 00:58:05,708
but everyone else calls me Nikolas.

770
00:58:06,375 --> 00:58:09,666
In conclusion,
humans are dangerous animals

771
00:58:09,750 --> 00:58:11,250
and can never be trusted.

772
00:58:12,250 --> 00:58:15,666
So, what would we do
if we ever saw a human?

773
00:58:16,958 --> 00:58:18,333
That's absolutely right.

774
00:58:22,875 --> 00:58:25,125
Please, you have to help me escape.

775
00:58:25,208 --> 00:58:26,958
Strictly speaking, you don't.

776
00:58:27,541 --> 00:58:31,541
I am duty-bound to protect my students
from those who would do them harm,

777
00:58:31,625 --> 00:58:33,416
like the humans who kidnapped Little Kip.

778
00:58:34,500 --> 00:58:35,583
-No, please.

779
00:58:36,250 --> 00:58:37,625
If you help me escape,

780
00:58:38,250 --> 00:58:41,000
I'll find Little Kip
and I'll bring him back to Elfhelm.

781
00:58:41,083 --> 00:58:43,250
-Open this door.

782
00:58:43,333 --> 00:58:44,916
Please. I'm telling the truth.

783
00:58:46,833 --> 00:58:49,791
Open up! That's an order!

784
00:58:51,375 --> 00:58:52,416
-Stand back!
-Why?

785
00:58:52,916 --> 00:58:54,666
Hurry!

786
00:58:57,708 --> 00:58:59,541
Go! Bring back Little Kip!

787
00:59:07,333 --> 00:59:08,208
That's it!

788
00:59:09,250 --> 00:59:10,583
Any humans in here?

789
00:59:12,583 --> 00:59:14,625
Um, can I be excused?

790
00:59:18,625 --> 00:59:20,791
-What about you? You a human?
-No.

791
00:59:22,625 --> 00:59:23,458
We're good here.

792
00:59:27,750 --> 00:59:29,500
Look in all the houses!

793
00:59:33,208 --> 00:59:34,041
This way.

794
00:59:35,166 --> 00:59:36,791
-This way.

795
00:59:36,875 --> 00:59:37,916
-Nikolas!

796
00:59:38,000 --> 00:59:39,916
It's okay. I know this reindeer.

797
00:59:40,583 --> 00:59:42,333
-Thanks, Noosh.

798
00:59:42,416 --> 00:59:44,125
Hello, boy. I missed you too.

799
00:59:44,666 --> 00:59:46,666
-There they are!
-Oh no.

800
00:59:46,750 --> 00:59:48,000
-We got them!
-Time to move.

801
00:59:48,083 --> 00:59:49,458
-Don't let them get away!
-Hurry up!

802
00:59:49,541 --> 00:59:51,541
-Grab hold!
-Come on, let's go!

803
00:59:52,500 --> 00:59:55,125
-Go on, Blitzen.
-Move it, kid!

804
00:59:55,750 --> 00:59:57,291
Good luck, smelly sausage!

805
00:59:57,375 --> 00:59:59,125
Nikolas! Up here!

806
01:00:00,083 --> 01:00:00,916
Miika!

807
01:00:03,875 --> 01:00:06,625
-Miika, I missed you.
-I missed you with all my heart.

808
01:00:06,708 --> 01:00:08,583
-Miika, meet Truth Pixie.
-Sorry, who is this?

809
01:00:08,666 --> 01:00:11,750
No! Do not let him escape!

810
01:00:14,916 --> 01:00:17,125
-Bit big for a pixie.

811
01:00:17,208 --> 01:00:19,000
-Excuse me?
-Guys, not now.

812
01:00:19,083 --> 01:00:20,500
Who's this knob? Another new friend?

813
01:00:27,708 --> 01:00:28,625
Stop him!

814
01:00:29,291 --> 01:00:30,708
Blitzen, this way.

815
01:00:31,250 --> 01:00:33,458
-No, he's got me!
-Duck!

816
01:00:35,125 --> 01:00:36,916
-Got him!
-Nearly there!

817
01:00:37,541 --> 01:00:39,458
-Oh no.
-Got you now.

818
01:00:39,541 --> 01:00:41,291
-Get down!
-Get down!

819
01:00:41,375 --> 01:00:43,125
-We've cornered them all.

820
01:00:43,208 --> 01:00:44,333
Form a circle.

821
01:00:46,625 --> 01:00:49,708
-They're everywhere.
-That's it, lads. Tighten the noose!

822
01:00:49,791 --> 01:00:51,875
-Get down. Now!

823
01:00:52,500 --> 01:00:55,333
They have no idea
how exhausting being this powerful is.

824
01:00:56,041 --> 01:00:57,166
Stop!

825
01:00:58,291 --> 01:00:59,291
Yes?

826
01:00:59,833 --> 01:01:01,250
Do they capture him?

827
01:01:01,333 --> 01:01:03,291
-I'm sorry?
-Does he die?

828
01:01:03,375 --> 01:01:07,541
-Stop now if that happens. Stop right now.
-We couldn't handle it.

829
01:01:08,041 --> 01:01:09,458
You could, you know.

830
01:01:09,541 --> 01:01:15,041
You can handle anything
because you've already handled everything.

831
01:01:19,875 --> 01:01:22,375
Nikolas was surrounded.

832
01:01:22,458 --> 01:01:27,000
Every direction they looked,
elves blocked their escape.

833
01:01:27,916 --> 01:01:29,500
I can't get caught again.

834
01:01:29,583 --> 01:01:31,833
Lucky for you,
I've got more tricks up my sleeve.

835
01:01:31,916 --> 01:01:34,333
And by tricks, I mean improvised
homemade explosives.

836
01:01:34,416 --> 01:01:36,208
-Wait, what?
-Well, grab them!

837
01:01:40,666 --> 01:01:42,250
-Miika, cover your ears.
-Why?

838
01:01:44,250 --> 01:01:46,208
-Get down!

839
01:01:46,291 --> 01:01:49,791
-Blitzen, go!
-Watch out! They're right here!

840
01:01:52,583 --> 01:01:55,416
-Gates! Get the gates!
-Yes, Mother Vodal!

841
01:01:57,500 --> 01:02:00,166
-Stop!
-We're not gonna make it.

842
01:02:02,000 --> 01:02:02,875
What are you doing?

843
01:02:05,666 --> 01:02:07,291
I'll hold the gate. You go.

844
01:02:07,375 --> 01:02:09,458
-No, I can't go without you.
-We really can.

845
01:02:09,541 --> 01:02:11,375
-Go!
-Forward.

846
01:02:11,458 --> 01:02:14,708
You should go.
This one's gonna be loud.

847
01:02:14,791 --> 01:02:16,916
-Get them!

848
01:02:17,000 --> 01:02:20,416
-Go! Go! Find your father.

849
01:02:21,000 --> 01:02:22,875
No! No! It's going to blow!

850
01:02:34,208 --> 01:02:37,166
-Come on, Blitzen.
-Don't let him go!

851
01:02:37,250 --> 01:02:39,041
Break it in, you fools!

852
01:02:39,125 --> 01:02:40,625
What are you doing?

853
01:02:56,916 --> 01:02:59,750
All day
the three friends searched

854
01:03:00,666 --> 01:03:06,458
over mountains, and streams,
and lakes frozen solid.

855
01:03:08,833 --> 01:03:11,416
Somewhere
in the vast wilderness,

856
01:03:12,333 --> 01:03:14,958
Nikolas hoped to find his father

857
01:03:16,333 --> 01:03:18,041
and solve the mystery…

858
01:03:18,125 --> 01:03:21,208
-Whoa, Blitzen.
-…of the lost elf child.

859
01:03:26,333 --> 01:03:27,166
Smoke.

860
01:03:44,500 --> 01:03:45,875
-Hey, Miika.
-Yeah.

861
01:03:45,958 --> 01:03:49,083
-Look at this.
-Thread. Any idea where it leads?

862
01:03:49,166 --> 01:03:52,041
-No, but it's got to lead to somewhere.

863
01:03:52,833 --> 01:03:54,125
That's reassuring.

864
01:04:19,250 --> 01:04:20,083
Little Kip.

865
01:04:30,458 --> 01:04:33,041
I know you're scared. I am too.

866
01:04:35,541 --> 01:04:36,541
I'm here to help.

867
01:04:51,625 --> 01:04:54,125
-Easiest catch I've ever made.
-I know.

868
01:04:54,208 --> 01:04:56,708
-Just like catching a rabbit?

869
01:04:57,500 --> 01:04:59,666
-Lots of birds here.
-Shh.

870
01:04:59,750 --> 01:05:01,750
-He is swift.
-Just saying.

871
01:05:03,833 --> 01:05:05,708
You've all
tasted a rabbit, I suspect.

872
01:05:05,791 --> 01:05:08,125
Depends which promise you want to keep,

873
01:05:08,750 --> 01:05:12,791
the one to your king
or the one to your son.

874
01:05:16,166 --> 01:05:17,375
It's not long now.

875
01:05:18,000 --> 01:05:19,500
You better be quiet or…

876
01:05:21,708 --> 01:05:25,458
Don't move a muscle.

877
01:05:26,791 --> 01:05:27,791
Who are you?

878
01:05:28,875 --> 01:05:30,458
Tell me or you're dead.

879
01:05:31,250 --> 01:05:34,625
I'm just lost in the forest.
I'm not causing any trouble.

880
01:05:34,708 --> 01:05:39,125
You're up to something. Tell me what,
or I'll put an arrow through you.

881
01:05:39,208 --> 01:05:41,208
Hey, what's going on here?

882
01:05:41,291 --> 01:05:43,416
I found this boy wandering around.

883
01:05:43,500 --> 01:05:46,750
What are you doing here, boy? Who are you?

884
01:05:46,833 --> 01:05:49,291
-What are you doing here?
-Who are you, boy?

885
01:05:49,375 --> 01:05:51,166
-You're Joel's son.

886
01:05:51,250 --> 01:05:53,416
My father. Where is he?

887
01:05:53,500 --> 01:05:54,333
Nikolas?

888
01:05:56,208 --> 01:05:57,041
It's you?

889
01:05:58,333 --> 01:06:02,416
-Papa. Papa.

890
01:06:03,208 --> 01:06:04,416
How are you here?

891
01:06:10,583 --> 01:06:12,916
You didn't tell me
you were kidnapping an elf.

892
01:06:13,625 --> 01:06:15,875
You said you were gonna find proof
of Elfhelm.

893
01:06:16,375 --> 01:06:20,791
Yeah, what could be better proof
than a real-life elf, eh?

894
01:06:21,541 --> 01:06:26,041
They must have made you do it, Papa.
Please tell me that's what happened.

895
01:06:26,125 --> 01:06:28,666
-It's for our own good, Nikolas.
-No.

896
01:06:31,000 --> 01:06:34,750
The king asked for hope.
What's hopeful about this?

897
01:06:37,083 --> 01:06:39,208
We can take the elf back to Elfhelm.

898
01:06:41,083 --> 01:06:42,083
Back to his home.

899
01:06:42,958 --> 01:06:44,250
The elves will be happy.

900
01:06:45,208 --> 01:06:48,500
They might even give you a reward.
All of you.

901
01:06:51,958 --> 01:06:54,083
Being good
is better than being rich, Papa.

902
01:06:55,166 --> 01:06:56,416
Better than anything.

903
01:06:58,416 --> 01:06:59,875
And if you've forgotten that…

904
01:07:01,666 --> 01:07:02,833
you've forgotten Mama.

905
01:07:06,083 --> 01:07:07,750
I'm getting you out of here, Kip.

906
01:07:07,833 --> 01:07:10,416
-That's it! That's it! You gotta talk--

907
01:07:10,500 --> 01:07:11,500
Anders!

908
01:07:12,041 --> 01:07:13,833
-Joel, get out of the way.
-He's my son.

909
01:07:13,916 --> 01:07:16,250
He's trying to help the elf escape.

910
01:07:18,416 --> 01:07:20,625
-Then we'll tie him up too.
-Papa.

911
01:07:20,708 --> 01:07:22,958
-So tight he can't run anywhere.
-Papa!

912
01:07:23,041 --> 01:07:25,500
-Quiet!

913
01:07:26,708 --> 01:07:28,833
Okay, fine. Tie him up.

914
01:07:30,166 --> 01:07:33,750
-Tie the reindeer up as well.
-Papa, what? Papa!

915
01:07:34,708 --> 01:07:38,083
Papa! Papa, please!

916
01:07:39,208 --> 01:07:40,291
Papa!

917
01:07:44,291 --> 01:07:45,666
-Blitzen!
-Steady!

918
01:07:45,750 --> 01:07:47,041
-Easy!
-Leave him alone!

919
01:07:47,125 --> 01:07:49,125
-Get hold.
-Hold it. Hold it.

920
01:07:53,583 --> 01:07:56,083
Hurt my friend,
and I'll bite your eyeball.

921
01:07:57,875 --> 01:08:00,375
You did it. You got him to talk!

922
01:08:00,458 --> 01:08:03,041
Yeah, he did. He's amazing.

923
01:08:05,291 --> 01:08:08,708
Don't look at me like that, son.
I'm doing my best.

924
01:08:09,375 --> 01:08:10,458
This is your best?

925
01:08:11,375 --> 01:08:12,333
I'll be honest with you.

926
01:08:12,416 --> 01:08:15,041
You can judge a person's character
if the first time you meet them,

927
01:08:15,125 --> 01:08:17,207
-they try and kill you with--
-Be quiet, Miika.

928
01:08:17,291 --> 01:08:18,291
An ax.

929
01:08:48,207 --> 01:08:49,291
-Shh, shh.

930
01:08:49,375 --> 01:08:52,207
-What are you doing?

931
01:08:54,250 --> 01:08:58,082
-You're following me.
-No. No. Why would we do that?

932
01:08:58,166 --> 01:08:59,457
Hey, Nikolas!

933
01:09:07,875 --> 01:09:11,416
That was a terrible idea you had
coming here, running away, all of it.

934
01:09:12,082 --> 01:09:15,707
But you're my son,
and I'm on your side no matter what.

935
01:09:16,375 --> 01:09:17,582
Why are you smiling?

936
01:09:18,457 --> 01:09:20,500
There's goodness in you after all.

937
01:09:25,125 --> 01:09:26,500
Come on, Little Kip.

938
01:09:35,207 --> 01:09:36,582
-Here's the plan.

939
01:09:36,666 --> 01:09:39,291
I want you to take the reindeer
and get Kip back to Elfhelm.

940
01:09:39,375 --> 01:09:41,957
Then keep going south and don't stop
until you've reached the cabin.

941
01:09:43,500 --> 01:09:45,957
-They're escaping.
-Go, go, go!

942
01:09:46,041 --> 01:09:47,916
-They're getting away!

943
01:09:48,000 --> 01:09:49,582
-Get up! Wake up, men!
-Nikolas.

944
01:09:49,666 --> 01:09:51,457
-Hurry! Joel!
-Go, son!

945
01:09:51,541 --> 01:09:53,207
-Not without you.
-Hurry up!

946
01:09:53,291 --> 01:09:56,625
Everybody up! Up, up, up!
Come on! Go, go, go!

947
01:09:56,707 --> 01:09:58,875
-They're escaping.
-They've got the elf.

948
01:09:58,957 --> 01:10:00,832
Joel! Nikolas!

949
01:10:00,916 --> 01:10:02,457
I won't miss this time!

950
01:10:03,916 --> 01:10:05,375
Faster, Blitzen. Faster!

951
01:10:09,250 --> 01:10:10,832
-Closer!

952
01:10:12,582 --> 01:10:14,582
Joel, we had a deal!

953
01:10:21,375 --> 01:10:23,332
Don't let them get away!

954
01:10:24,416 --> 01:10:25,875
They're getting away!

955
01:10:26,832 --> 01:10:29,166
-Run! Joel!

956
01:10:30,541 --> 01:10:31,750
We've got to go faster!

957
01:10:38,041 --> 01:10:40,582
-We're not going fast enough, Blitzen!

958
01:10:48,416 --> 01:10:50,041
Nikolas, up ahead!

959
01:11:06,875 --> 01:11:09,625
-Come on, Blitzen! There's magic in you!

960
01:11:10,875 --> 01:11:13,750
That's it, boy! You're doing it!

961
01:11:16,082 --> 01:11:17,541
I'm weighing you down!

962
01:11:17,625 --> 01:11:20,457
We're nearly there!
Go on, Blitzen!

963
01:11:22,500 --> 01:11:25,375
Please, fly, Blitzen! Fly!

964
01:11:28,000 --> 01:11:30,250
-No, Papa!
-I love you, Nikolas.

965
01:11:30,332 --> 01:11:32,750
-No, Papa!
-You have so much good to give.

966
01:11:32,832 --> 01:11:34,416
It's better than anything.

967
01:11:34,500 --> 01:11:35,791
No, Papa!

968
01:11:45,582 --> 01:11:48,250
Papa, no! Papa!

969
01:11:48,875 --> 01:11:50,000
Papa, please!

970
01:11:50,082 --> 01:11:54,291
Papa, no! Papa, no!

971
01:11:54,375 --> 01:11:57,625
Papa! Papa!

972
01:12:00,957 --> 01:12:01,916
Papa.

973
01:12:08,457 --> 01:12:09,416
Papa.

974
01:12:20,375 --> 01:12:24,457
-That's the worst story I've ever heard.
-Well, I haven't finished.

975
01:12:24,541 --> 01:12:27,082
There's no way you can get to
happy ending from here.

976
01:12:27,166 --> 01:12:28,457
I don't have to.

977
01:12:28,541 --> 01:12:32,875
Happiness isn't compulsory,
and… and nothing ever ends.

978
01:12:32,957 --> 01:12:35,707
Well, Merry Christmas, everyone.

979
01:12:35,791 --> 01:12:37,125
But, Aunt Ruth?

980
01:12:38,207 --> 01:12:39,457
What is it, Moppet?

981
01:12:40,875 --> 01:12:42,582
Poor Nikolas.

982
01:12:45,000 --> 01:12:50,250
I know. The pain he felt was incredible.

983
01:12:57,832 --> 01:13:01,082
Grief is
the price we pay for love,

984
01:13:02,832 --> 01:13:06,541
and worth it a million times over.

985
01:13:15,125 --> 01:13:15,957
Nikolas…

986
01:13:18,666 --> 01:13:19,666
I'm so sorry.

987
01:13:22,582 --> 01:13:26,832
But now, the time had come
for Nikolas to make things right

988
01:13:28,250 --> 01:13:33,957
and bring Little Kip back home to Elfhelm.

989
01:13:56,791 --> 01:13:57,791
Listen.

990
01:13:59,500 --> 01:14:02,000
I know you must think my father
was a bad human,

991
01:14:03,041 --> 01:14:04,207
but there's good too.

992
01:14:06,875 --> 01:14:08,250
Humans are complicated.

993
01:14:15,041 --> 01:14:18,582
Nikolas found
Elfhelm's streets deserted.

994
01:14:19,250 --> 01:14:21,416
-Not an elf in sight.

995
01:14:23,832 --> 01:14:27,957
Mother Harkers,
for heinous crimes against elf kind,

996
01:14:28,041 --> 01:14:31,000
you are herewith banished for life.

997
01:14:31,082 --> 01:14:32,332
You can punish us,

998
01:14:32,416 --> 01:14:37,957
but you can never take away the ground
on which we stand.

999
01:14:45,832 --> 01:14:48,000
-This is our home.

1000
01:14:48,082 --> 01:14:49,207
Enough!

1001
01:14:50,582 --> 01:14:53,082
Banished! You're all banished.

1002
01:14:53,166 --> 01:14:54,457
You can't do this.

1003
01:14:54,541 --> 01:14:55,957
I just have.

1004
01:14:56,041 --> 01:15:00,791
We can't have you here threatening
our safety, disrupting our lives.

1005
01:15:02,500 --> 01:15:06,332
Have we already forgotten
the lessons of poor Little Kip?

1006
01:15:07,791 --> 01:15:10,541
-Why don't you ask him yourself?

1007
01:15:40,875 --> 01:15:43,791
I'm not going to make a big speech.

1008
01:15:52,000 --> 01:15:53,916
Well, I guess that's it.

1009
01:15:55,916 --> 01:15:57,832
If Little Kip is alive…

1010
01:16:00,041 --> 01:16:04,082
well, then… hope is alive.

1011
01:16:04,166 --> 01:16:06,707
-Thank goodness.

1012
01:16:10,125 --> 01:16:11,125
Wait.

1013
01:16:12,500 --> 01:16:14,207
Put him down. Bring him back.

1014
01:16:17,750 --> 01:16:18,916
Hip hip for Kip!

1015
01:16:19,000 --> 01:16:21,541
Adapt. Adapt. We must adapt.

1016
01:16:21,625 --> 01:16:24,666
-Wait! I command you!

1017
01:16:52,416 --> 01:16:55,500
-What did he say?
-Nothing yet. He just knocked.

1018
01:16:57,250 --> 01:16:58,582
Still exciting though.

1019
01:17:06,625 --> 01:17:07,791
Wha…

1020
01:17:08,832 --> 01:17:09,666
What is it?

1021
01:17:15,500 --> 01:17:17,125
Oh, my baby!

1022
01:17:23,332 --> 01:17:24,707
I am sorry, Mum.

1023
01:17:24,791 --> 01:17:28,000
Yes, we'll talk about that
when your father comes home.

1024
01:17:34,791 --> 01:17:36,125
You found your father, didn't you?

1025
01:17:39,582 --> 01:17:41,666
Listen.

1026
01:17:42,416 --> 01:17:47,332
The only thing in life
that is simple and clear is the truth.

1027
01:17:49,000 --> 01:17:50,375
But it can be painful.

1028
01:17:54,375 --> 01:17:55,791
Does the pain ever go away?

1029
01:17:58,291 --> 01:17:59,166
No.

1030
01:18:00,916 --> 01:18:02,332
You couldn't just lie once?

1031
01:18:02,957 --> 01:18:05,625
But you learn to live with it.

1032
01:18:06,291 --> 01:18:08,375
And you get stronger because of it.

1033
01:18:09,332 --> 01:18:11,625
And that's the truth.

1034
01:18:17,000 --> 01:18:20,375
I don't fully understand
how you actually did it.

1035
01:18:21,166 --> 01:18:22,916
Take me through it from the--

1036
01:18:23,875 --> 01:18:25,082
You saved our child.

1037
01:18:26,082 --> 01:18:29,000
-Anyone could have done it.
-But only you did.

1038
01:18:29,082 --> 01:18:30,875
Don't be a hero. Take the win.

1039
01:18:30,957 --> 01:18:32,916
We are simple top makers.

1040
01:18:33,000 --> 01:18:35,916
He's being humble.
Their tops are top-notch.

1041
01:18:36,625 --> 01:18:37,791
To show our appreciation,

1042
01:18:37,875 --> 01:18:40,916
we'd like to offer you a selection
of our finest wares.

1043
01:18:45,000 --> 01:18:46,291
I only ever had one toy.

1044
01:18:49,332 --> 01:18:50,582
It was a turnip doll.

1045
01:18:51,291 --> 01:18:53,957
-My mama made it for me.
-It's a very sad story.

1046
01:18:54,625 --> 01:18:56,832
-He ate it.
-We've all done things we regret.

1047
01:18:56,916 --> 01:18:58,041
Only one toy.

1048
01:18:58,791 --> 01:19:01,416
Playing with it
made me feel happy and loved.

1049
01:19:02,416 --> 01:19:04,375
It's more than any one kid needs.

1050
01:19:10,082 --> 01:19:11,916
-Wait.
-What is it?

1051
01:19:12,541 --> 01:19:14,875
Could you make more? Lots, lots more.

1052
01:19:14,957 --> 01:19:16,625
-Of course--
-We'll need anything you have.

1053
01:19:16,707 --> 01:19:19,291
Shiny things,
stacking things, things that wind up.

1054
01:19:19,375 --> 01:19:23,500
-I'll need to borrow this curtain too.
-Could you be kidnapping another elf?

1055
01:19:23,582 --> 01:19:27,041
-No, bigger. Much, much bigger.
-We're opening a curtain shop?

1056
01:19:27,125 --> 01:19:30,082
-Right. Come on.
-And we haven't much time!

1057
01:19:30,166 --> 01:19:34,416
-And I haven't much cheese.
-Why didn't you say so? I make my own.

1058
01:19:34,500 --> 01:19:35,541
Marry me.

1059
01:20:02,125 --> 01:20:05,500
It's all right, everyone.
I'm powering the wheel.

1060
01:20:14,541 --> 01:20:16,332
And the wheel is on the side.

1061
01:20:19,250 --> 01:20:21,250
-Thank you. It's perfect.
-Bring the wheels.

1062
01:20:21,332 --> 01:20:24,625
That's it, everyone. You're doing great.
Keep up the good work.

1063
01:20:25,250 --> 01:20:26,457
Amazing. Thank you.

1064
01:20:27,166 --> 01:20:29,416
Missed a spot. Try again.

1065
01:20:30,916 --> 01:20:32,082
I've… I've seen worse.

1066
01:21:18,416 --> 01:21:21,041
-Thank you.
-I wish you could see this, Mama.

1067
01:21:22,125 --> 01:21:24,625
It's everything you hoped for.

1068
01:21:25,707 --> 01:21:27,916
It's a five-minute warning, everyone.

1069
01:21:28,541 --> 01:21:30,707
-Five minutes!
-Freshly painted.

1070
01:21:30,791 --> 01:21:32,375
Blue for peace,

1071
01:21:32,457 --> 01:21:33,666
red for joy,

1072
01:21:33,750 --> 01:21:36,916
green for wonder, and yellow because
it makes my eyes tickle.

1073
01:21:37,000 --> 01:21:37,916
Do you like it?

1074
01:21:38,000 --> 01:21:39,250
Is it a bit garish?

1075
01:21:40,375 --> 01:21:41,957
-I think it's perfect.
-Love it.

1076
01:21:42,041 --> 01:21:44,250
That reindeer's not going to drive itself.

1077
01:21:44,332 --> 01:21:47,375
All right, everyone, it's time.
We haven't got long.

1078
01:21:57,207 --> 01:21:58,916
Merry Christmas!

1079
01:21:59,832 --> 01:22:01,832
Merry Christmas!

1080
01:22:03,707 --> 01:22:06,082
-Here, take this.
-No, I couldn't.

1081
01:22:06,166 --> 01:22:07,875
You're one of us now.

1082
01:22:09,207 --> 01:22:13,500
We can't have you representing Elfhelm
dressed all shoddily, can we?

1083
01:22:13,582 --> 01:22:16,041
-They look up to you, you know.

1084
01:22:17,291 --> 01:22:18,250
We all do.

1085
01:22:19,166 --> 01:22:22,250
And not just because you're
so freakishly tall.

1086
01:22:22,332 --> 01:22:23,375
-Ha!

1087
01:22:24,916 --> 01:22:27,916
Go on. Elfhelm's your home now.

1088
01:22:28,582 --> 01:22:30,625
Get out there. Make us proud.

1089
01:22:33,666 --> 01:22:35,582
This is it.

1090
01:22:35,666 --> 01:22:37,750
-Thanks for everything.
-Fly safely.

1091
01:22:38,707 --> 01:22:40,832
We got it from here. See you soon.

1092
01:22:40,916 --> 01:22:42,291
We're counting on it.

1093
01:22:42,832 --> 01:22:44,750
-Stop!

1094
01:22:51,000 --> 01:22:53,832
That human must not be allowed
to leave Elfhelm.

1095
01:22:59,916 --> 01:23:02,166
So he bought us back the little elf child.

1096
01:23:04,250 --> 01:23:05,666
Hooray for that.

1097
01:23:07,207 --> 01:23:11,375
But what is one boy when held against
an entire community?

1098
01:23:13,791 --> 01:23:16,041
We must not allow
what we have gained

1099
01:23:16,125 --> 01:23:18,707
to make us blind to what we may lose.

1100
01:23:18,791 --> 01:23:19,791
Our home.

1101
01:23:21,291 --> 01:23:22,166
Our culture.

1102
01:23:42,457 --> 01:23:43,500
No, it can't be..

1103
01:23:48,332 --> 01:23:49,332
Uh-uh.

1104
01:23:58,000 --> 01:23:59,082
Boy…

1105
01:24:02,166 --> 01:24:03,791
…where did you get that pendant?

1106
01:24:07,832 --> 01:24:09,000
Where did you get that?

1107
01:24:13,582 --> 01:24:14,457
My mother.

1108
01:24:16,666 --> 01:24:17,957
She wore it all her life.

1109
01:24:28,207 --> 01:24:30,166
I never thought I'd see it again.

1110
01:24:33,332 --> 01:24:34,375
Long ago…

1111
01:24:38,166 --> 01:24:40,500
a human girl wandered into our village…

1112
01:24:43,041 --> 01:24:44,332
tired and lost.

1113
01:24:47,250 --> 01:24:48,916
We took her in.

1114
01:24:49,875 --> 01:24:55,541
She was loving and kind and full of hope.

1115
01:24:58,541 --> 01:25:00,041
She became our friend…

1116
01:25:05,332 --> 01:25:06,332
my friend…

1117
01:25:09,500 --> 01:25:14,416
until the day the snows melted,
and she returned to her home in the South.

1118
01:25:16,125 --> 01:25:17,832
Her pockets full of chocolates.

1119
01:25:18,750 --> 01:25:19,750
Hmm.

1120
01:25:22,000 --> 01:25:25,000
That's where
all my chocolates went.

1121
01:25:26,416 --> 01:25:30,166
As I recall, Dimelza,

1122
01:25:31,791 --> 01:25:36,041
there was a time
you loved humans more than most.

1123
01:25:38,416 --> 01:25:41,832
-But she left without a word.
-She never did forget.

1124
01:25:44,291 --> 01:25:47,250
My mother told me the story
of Elfhelm every night.

1125
01:25:48,957 --> 01:25:50,332
It was always with her.

1126
01:25:54,332 --> 01:25:55,332
Lumi.

1127
01:26:01,541 --> 01:26:02,707
We called her Lumi.

1128
01:26:03,207 --> 01:26:04,207
Lumi.

1129
01:26:08,375 --> 01:26:12,082
The girl who came, but couldn't stay long.

1130
01:26:16,332 --> 01:26:17,332
I see her.

1131
01:26:20,332 --> 01:26:21,832
I can see her in you.

1132
01:26:28,625 --> 01:26:30,250
My mother told me Elfhelm

1133
01:26:30,750 --> 01:26:33,916
was the most hopeful,
happiest place in the world.

1134
01:26:36,000 --> 01:26:39,250
And it should be that again,
especially on Christmas.

1135
01:26:44,375 --> 01:26:45,541
The day she named me after.

1136
01:26:49,291 --> 01:26:50,291
She called you…

1137
01:26:53,750 --> 01:26:55,375
She called you Christmas.

1138
01:26:58,625 --> 01:27:01,832
We still have some time
before the big day.

1139
01:27:03,707 --> 01:27:06,500
We could make it the best one ever.

1140
01:27:08,082 --> 01:27:10,125
-Ready, old friend?

1141
01:27:10,207 --> 01:27:11,457
Born ready.

1142
01:27:13,750 --> 01:27:15,332
You meant the reindeer, didn't you?

1143
01:27:17,041 --> 01:27:18,791
Faster, Blitzen, faster!

1144
01:27:24,125 --> 01:27:26,082
See you soon, friend!

1145
01:27:27,000 --> 01:27:29,041
Happy flying, Father Christmas!

1146
01:27:52,457 --> 01:27:54,332
There, Blitzen! Down there!

1147
01:28:16,457 --> 01:28:17,291
Hmm?

1148
01:28:17,375 --> 01:28:19,000
I think I bent my tail.

1149
01:28:19,082 --> 01:28:19,916
Who are you?

1150
01:28:22,166 --> 01:28:23,291
What's in that bag?

1151
01:28:24,916 --> 01:28:27,916
Hope and magic and wonder.

1152
01:28:28,582 --> 01:28:29,457
Guards!

1153
01:28:29,541 --> 01:28:34,291
Wait, the thing you've been searching for,
the discovery that can relight the spark.

1154
01:28:34,375 --> 01:28:35,375
Oh that.

1155
01:28:36,916 --> 01:28:38,957
I've pretty much given up on that.

1156
01:28:40,000 --> 01:28:43,707
You see enough horses with horns stuck
to their head, you get a little cynical.

1157
01:28:43,791 --> 01:28:44,707
Wait.

1158
01:28:44,791 --> 01:28:45,875
Guards!

1159
01:28:46,500 --> 01:28:47,500
Stop saying that.

1160
01:28:47,582 --> 01:28:49,500
I don't think
there's anyone's there anyway.

1161
01:28:49,582 --> 01:28:51,332
Just have a look, please.

1162
01:28:53,957 --> 01:28:56,291
All right, fine. Show me.

1163
01:29:10,791 --> 01:29:11,875
Hmm.

1164
01:29:13,291 --> 01:29:14,957
It's not very magical.

1165
01:29:18,875 --> 01:29:20,082
How does it work?

1166
01:29:28,000 --> 01:29:31,082
Oh.

1167
01:29:32,916 --> 01:29:34,332
We'll start there.

1168
01:29:39,832 --> 01:29:40,666
Hmm.

1169
01:29:47,332 --> 01:29:48,666
Do kings give leg ups?

1170
01:29:50,041 --> 01:29:51,416
This one does.

1171
01:30:11,291 --> 01:30:12,625
How did you get in?

1172
01:30:14,750 --> 01:30:16,582
-What now?
-Watch.

1173
01:30:33,250 --> 01:30:34,832
Ho, ho, ho!

1174
01:30:51,916 --> 01:30:56,457
Nikolas showed the king
that it's not about the presents.

1175
01:30:58,750 --> 01:31:00,666
Although they are wonderful.

1176
01:31:04,957 --> 01:31:07,082
It's about what's behind them.

1177
01:31:07,707 --> 01:31:08,957
Here's one.

1178
01:31:11,082 --> 01:31:14,916
We give what we have
to show that we care.

1179
01:31:16,332 --> 01:31:17,375
Hmm.

1180
01:31:19,250 --> 01:31:22,041
And then
we all share in the joy.

1181
01:31:31,207 --> 01:31:35,125
And that joy
can grow into hope

1182
01:31:36,416 --> 01:31:41,750
one house at a time
and spread throughout the land.

1183
01:31:41,832 --> 01:31:43,625
I asked for something new.

1184
01:31:44,250 --> 01:31:47,457
You've brought me something
we'd forgotten we already had.

1185
01:31:48,207 --> 01:31:49,041
Thank you.

1186
01:31:49,582 --> 01:31:52,082
-Well, good luck with it all.
-Cheers.

1187
01:31:54,332 --> 01:31:57,457
-Where do you think you're going?
-My work here is done. So…

1188
01:31:57,541 --> 01:31:59,000
Done? Done?

1189
01:31:59,082 --> 01:32:02,166
I've given you the idea.
I've shown you how it works.

1190
01:32:02,957 --> 01:32:05,625
-So now I must appoint someone to run it.
-Great.

1191
01:32:06,125 --> 01:32:07,875
Great. When can you start?

1192
01:32:09,750 --> 01:32:11,707
I hardly know you, but it seems to me

1193
01:32:11,791 --> 01:32:16,082
that if anyone deserves the infinite joy
of loving and being loved,

1194
01:32:16,166 --> 01:32:17,750
it's you, my young friend.

1195
01:32:18,832 --> 01:32:21,166
Besides, it's just just one day a year.

1196
01:32:22,250 --> 01:32:23,582
What shall we call it?

1197
01:32:24,082 --> 01:32:27,750
That's easy.
Nikolas and Miika the talking mouse day.

1198
01:32:29,916 --> 01:32:31,375
Any other ideas?

1199
01:32:41,957 --> 01:32:44,166
You know who else could use
some magic to believe in?

1200
01:32:44,250 --> 01:32:45,250
Who?

1201
01:32:45,832 --> 01:32:48,666
-Bandit!
-Come on!

1202
01:32:48,750 --> 01:32:50,916
-Bandit!

1203
01:32:51,000 --> 01:32:53,041
-Intruder!
-Let's go!

1204
01:32:55,375 --> 01:32:57,000
Hey, Aunt Carlotta!

1205
01:32:57,082 --> 01:32:58,832
It's me, Nikolas.

1206
01:32:58,916 --> 01:33:01,750
I'm flying on a reindeer,
and my mouse talks now.

1207
01:33:01,832 --> 01:33:02,707
Ta-da!

1208
01:33:02,791 --> 01:33:06,207
-And look, we brought our mate, the King.
-Hello!

1209
01:33:07,166 --> 01:33:09,041
-Hi.

1210
01:33:09,125 --> 01:33:12,750
I just came back
to tell you magic is real.

1211
01:33:12,832 --> 01:33:14,500
It is. It really is.

1212
01:33:15,125 --> 01:33:18,875
-Pocket.
-Oh yeah, check your pocket.

1213
01:33:19,666 --> 01:33:21,000
Oh.

1214
01:33:29,791 --> 01:33:31,375
Thank you, Nikolas!

1215
01:33:34,457 --> 01:33:37,207
The sack
was nearly empty of toys,

1216
01:33:37,291 --> 01:33:41,832
but for Nikolas,
the adventure was just beginning.

1217
01:33:44,541 --> 01:33:47,041
And so it was that a king,

1218
01:33:47,750 --> 01:33:49,041
a mouse,

1219
01:33:49,125 --> 01:33:50,125
a reindeer,

1220
01:33:50,875 --> 01:33:52,791
and a boy called Christmas

1221
01:33:53,582 --> 01:33:57,250
disappeared back into the sky.

1222
01:33:59,625 --> 01:34:00,957
I don't get it.

1223
01:34:01,041 --> 01:34:02,416
Maybe next year.

1224
01:34:02,500 --> 01:34:06,125
-Come on. It's simple. Use the--
-Wait, wait, I can figure it out.

1225
01:34:12,000 --> 01:34:13,332
-I've got it.

1226
01:34:16,541 --> 01:34:20,500
Can we have
another story again soon?

1227
01:34:20,582 --> 01:34:23,375
Mmm, well, anytime you need one.

1228
01:34:23,457 --> 01:34:26,207
-How about tomorrow?

1229
01:34:28,625 --> 01:34:32,457
Hey, what are you guys doing up?
It's way past your bedtime.

1230
01:34:32,541 --> 01:34:35,250
I think next year we can let
Father Christmas do his thing.

1231
01:34:35,332 --> 01:34:38,166
-Okay. Well, how about--
-Dad.

1232
01:34:49,291 --> 01:34:50,291
I didn't--

1233
01:34:56,457 --> 01:34:58,416
-I didn't--
-It's always the way.

1234
01:34:59,500 --> 01:35:01,416
The darkest night will end.

1235
01:35:02,791 --> 01:35:07,250
The sun will rise,
and Christmas mornings will come again

1236
01:35:07,332 --> 01:35:10,750
when anything and everything can happen.

1237
01:35:10,832 --> 01:35:13,041
-I--

1238
01:35:15,875 --> 01:35:17,750
Mommy would have loved this.

1239
01:35:19,541 --> 01:35:21,707
She's never gonna come back, is she?

1240
01:35:23,791 --> 01:35:28,000
No, but you are the best memory
of her now.

1241
01:35:49,082 --> 01:35:50,957
-Aunt Ruth.
-Yes?

1242
01:35:51,041 --> 01:35:53,541
Is that really how Christmas
properly began?

1243
01:35:54,957 --> 01:35:58,791
Oh, it must be, it must be.
You see, I never lie.

1244
01:36:18,666 --> 01:36:21,125
Mm-hmm.
