COMMERCIAL NARRATOR:
Take your tastebuds
on a trip

2
00:00:12,305 --> 00:00:14,849
to Maplewood this Christmas...

3
00:00:14,891 --> 00:00:17,185
Where something delicious
is in store.

4
00:00:18,394 --> 00:00:20,646
This holiday season,
open up a box

5
00:00:20,688 --> 00:00:24,358
of Grandma Cooper's
famous Christmas cookies.

6
00:00:24,400 --> 00:00:26,444
Made right here
in Grandma's home town

7
00:00:26,486 --> 00:00:28,821
with her classic secret recipe.

8
00:00:28,863 --> 00:00:30,823
Every bite will make you ask...

9
00:00:30,865 --> 00:00:32,700
What's in that cookie?

10
00:00:32,742 --> 00:00:34,535
I'll never tell.

11
00:00:34,577 --> 00:00:36,621
COMMERCIAL NARRATOR:
Bring home a box
of Cooper's today

12
00:00:36,662 --> 00:00:39,123
and see your children's faces
shine.

13
00:00:40,083 --> 00:00:41,834
And your grandchildren, too.

14
00:00:41,876 --> 00:00:43,753
Mmm, that's a good cookie!

15
00:00:43,795 --> 00:00:45,129
[Chuckles]

16
00:00:45,171 --> 00:00:47,799
After all, it's not Christmas
without Coopers.

17
00:00:53,638 --> 00:00:54,305
That's me.

18
00:00:54,347 --> 00:00:55,973
Little Annie Cooper.

19
00:00:56,015 --> 00:00:57,767
Now I know what you're thinking.

20
00:00:57,809 --> 00:00:59,602
The world has changed a lot

21
00:00:59,644 --> 00:01:02,563
since Grandma opened
Cooper's Cookies 40 years ago.

22
00:01:02,605 --> 00:01:03,856
But this Christmas,

23
00:01:03,898 --> 00:01:06,442
there's one thing you can
count on being the same.

24
00:01:06,484 --> 00:01:08,653
That's because
Grandma's secret recipe

25
00:01:08,694 --> 00:01:11,531
still tastes just how you
remember it.

26
00:01:11,572 --> 00:01:14,784
Mmm, now that is a good cookie.

27
00:01:14,826 --> 00:01:15,660
[Chuckles]

28
00:01:16,577 --> 00:01:17,912
DIRECTOR:
And cut!

29
00:01:17,954 --> 00:01:19,205
Alright, thank you.

30
00:01:19,247 --> 00:01:20,581
[Jillian chuckles]

31
00:01:20,623 --> 00:01:21,124
How was it?

32
00:01:21,165 --> 00:01:21,833
It was great!

33
00:01:21,874 --> 00:01:22,792
You were glowing.

34
00:01:22,834 --> 00:01:24,043
But did it work?

35
00:01:24,085 --> 00:01:25,461
Was it too, "Look at me,
I'm the new CEO."

36
00:01:25,503 --> 00:01:26,421
Oh gosh, no!

37
00:01:26,462 --> 00:01:27,797
Uh-uh.

38
00:01:27,839 --> 00:01:30,925
It was the perfect blend
of nostalgia and modernism.

39
00:01:30,967 --> 00:01:32,218
Like a Picasso.

40
00:01:34,512 --> 00:01:35,221
Oversold it?

41
00:01:35,263 --> 00:01:36,013
Yeah, just a little bit.

42
00:01:36,055 --> 00:01:36,764
Okay.

43
00:01:36,806 --> 00:01:37,598
Um, okay.

44
00:01:37,640 --> 00:01:38,933
Great job, everyone!

45
00:01:38,975 --> 00:01:40,643
Doors open in 20 minutes!

46
00:01:40,685 --> 00:01:41,352
Ooh!

47
00:01:41,394 --> 00:01:44,105
We have cookies to sell.

48
00:01:44,147 --> 00:01:44,772
Thank you.

49
00:01:44,814 --> 00:01:45,398
Parker.

50
00:01:45,440 --> 00:01:46,983
Parker.

51
00:01:47,024 --> 00:01:47,984
What time do the caterers
get in?

52
00:01:48,025 --> 00:01:48,651
5:00!

53
00:01:48,693 --> 00:01:49,861
5:00. Excellent.

54
00:01:49,902 --> 00:01:51,070
We need to make sure
everything is perfect.

55
00:01:51,112 --> 00:01:52,905
The entire board's
gonna be here tonight.

56
00:01:52,947 --> 00:01:54,490
Um, is that today's paper?

57
00:01:54,532 --> 00:01:56,367
Yes, but I don't think
you really want to--

58
00:01:56,409 --> 00:01:58,494
Is it worse than last week?

59
00:01:58,536 --> 00:01:59,704
Give it to me.

60
00:02:01,581 --> 00:02:02,498
Oh boy.

61
00:02:02,540 --> 00:02:03,541
Ah...

62
00:02:03,583 --> 00:02:05,251
"The End of Coopers
as we know it.

63
00:02:05,293 --> 00:02:09,338
The new CEO has wasted
no time leaving her mark,

64
00:02:09,380 --> 00:02:11,215
or should we say stain,

65
00:02:11,257 --> 00:02:14,135
on Cooper's Cookies
and this town as a whole.

66
00:02:14,177 --> 00:02:15,511
A New York outsider,

67
00:02:15,553 --> 00:02:17,263
groomed in the corporate world
of Manhattan,

68
00:02:17,305 --> 00:02:19,223
Annie Cooper has slashed funding

69
00:02:19,265 --> 00:02:21,100
for many Maplewood institutions
and programs which,

70
00:02:21,142 --> 00:02:23,311
under her grandmother,
were beloved by all."

71
00:02:23,352 --> 00:02:24,437
You know what,

72
00:02:24,479 --> 00:02:26,856
the media is so biased
these days.

73
00:02:26,898 --> 00:02:27,982
Wait till they hear

74
00:02:28,024 --> 00:02:29,901
that we cancelled
the Cooper Light Up.

75
00:02:29,942 --> 00:02:30,985
Sorry, did you say cancelled?

76
00:02:31,027 --> 00:02:31,819
Yeah, it's too expensive.

77
00:02:31,861 --> 00:02:33,029
I ran it by the board.

78
00:02:33,071 --> 00:02:34,197
Oh, that's...

79
00:02:34,238 --> 00:02:35,490
that's good.

80
00:02:35,531 --> 00:02:36,532
Yes.

81
00:02:36,574 --> 00:02:37,533
Speaking of the board,
I need to...

82
00:02:37,575 --> 00:02:38,451
Hey, hey...

83
00:02:38,493 --> 00:02:39,368
-Yo, yo...
-Miss C, Miss C...

84
00:02:39,410 --> 00:02:40,620
PHIL:
We just had you know,

85
00:02:40,661 --> 00:02:41,287
a quick Q about
the Christmas party tonight?

86
00:02:41,329 --> 00:02:42,789
Yeah, a semi-formal?

87
00:02:42,830 --> 00:02:44,332
Is that like,
hang loose on the bottom,

88
00:02:44,373 --> 00:02:45,041
suit and tie up-top?

89
00:02:45,083 --> 00:02:46,709
Yeah, right.

90
00:02:46,751 --> 00:02:48,169
Or is it like go wild up top,
keep it business down low?

91
00:02:48,211 --> 00:02:49,629
Yeah, under no circumstances

92
00:02:49,670 --> 00:02:51,756
should you go loose
on the bottom

93
00:02:51,798 --> 00:02:52,799
or go wild on top.

94
00:02:52,840 --> 00:02:54,884
Just ah, keep it classy.
Head to toe.

95
00:02:54,926 --> 00:02:57,178
Excuse me.

96
00:02:57,220 --> 00:02:58,262
PHIL & NED: [Together]
We need to go shopping.

97
00:02:58,763 --> 00:03:00,223
Miriam!

98
00:03:00,264 --> 00:03:02,058
Yes, Annie.
What can I do for you?

99
00:03:02,100 --> 00:03:04,936
I did not get your feedback
after the last board meeting.

100
00:03:04,977 --> 00:03:06,396
Did you need it?

101
00:03:06,437 --> 00:03:07,688
You seemed quite confident
in your performance

102
00:03:07,730 --> 00:03:09,107
as I recall.

103
00:03:09,148 --> 00:03:10,900
Well, you do know the position
that Cooper's is facing,

104
00:03:10,942 --> 00:03:12,568
and since I've been here,

105
00:03:12,610 --> 00:03:15,029
I've identified many areas
where we can reduce expenses,

106
00:03:15,071 --> 00:03:16,406
increase profits,

107
00:03:16,447 --> 00:03:18,157
and ultimately take Cooper's
to the next level.

108
00:03:18,199 --> 00:03:20,243
And how long have you been
here, Annie?

109
00:03:20,284 --> 00:03:21,244
Five months.

110
00:03:21,285 --> 00:03:22,829
Five months.

111
00:03:22,870 --> 00:03:25,415
Not even half a year
since your grandmother's estate

112
00:03:25,456 --> 00:03:27,417
gifted you
leadership of this company.

113
00:03:28,793 --> 00:03:31,754
You have very large shoes
to fill, Miss Cooper.

114
00:03:31,796 --> 00:03:34,173
And make no mistake,
if you so much as stumble,

115
00:03:34,215 --> 00:03:36,426
I will not hesitate
to replace you.

116
00:03:37,760 --> 00:03:40,221
I'll be in my office,
if you need me.

117
00:03:40,263 --> 00:03:49,313
[***]

118
00:03:54,152 --> 00:03:55,653
Oh.

119
00:03:55,695 --> 00:03:57,989
[Sighs]

120
00:03:59,532 --> 00:04:01,159
Okay.

121
00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:10,043
[***]

122
00:04:24,348 --> 00:04:25,183
Thank you.

123
00:04:25,224 --> 00:04:26,601
Merry Christmas.

124
00:04:32,648 --> 00:04:33,149
Hi!

125
00:04:33,191 --> 00:04:33,816
[Frank chuckles]

126
00:04:33,858 --> 00:04:36,069
Hi. Look at that.

127
00:04:36,110 --> 00:04:37,153
You got a good one this year.

128
00:04:37,195 --> 00:04:38,988
Even bigger than last year.

129
00:04:39,030 --> 00:04:40,156
How does your dad feel
about it?

130
00:04:40,198 --> 00:04:41,074
Ohh.

131
00:04:42,366 --> 00:04:43,493
He feels like
he should ask Santa

132
00:04:43,534 --> 00:04:44,619
for a new spine this Christmas.

133
00:04:44,660 --> 00:04:46,579
[Chuckles]

134
00:04:46,621 --> 00:04:48,122
You know feel free
to lend a hand?

135
00:04:48,164 --> 00:04:49,123
I--

136
00:04:49,165 --> 00:04:50,958
I would, Sam, but I'm on lunch.

137
00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:53,169
That's a really balanced meal
you got going on there.

138
00:04:53,211 --> 00:04:54,337
It's funny,

139
00:04:54,379 --> 00:04:55,004
that's what my cardiologist
said.

140
00:04:55,046 --> 00:04:56,672
[Chuckles]

141
00:04:56,714 --> 00:04:58,257
FRANK:
If I knew grandma's
secret recipe,

142
00:04:58,299 --> 00:05:00,093
I would save a fortune
on these things.

143
00:05:00,134 --> 00:05:01,177
Yeah, now that I believe.

144
00:05:01,219 --> 00:05:02,387
FRANK:
Yeah.

145
00:05:02,428 --> 00:05:03,346
Speaking of,
you met the new boss?

146
00:05:03,388 --> 00:05:04,472
FRANK:
Saw her from a distance

147
00:05:04,514 --> 00:05:06,057
when I did a job
at the factory last week.

148
00:05:06,099 --> 00:05:09,310
But,
you guys wanna hear a rumor?

149
00:05:09,352 --> 00:05:11,020
Alright.

150
00:05:11,062 --> 00:05:13,689
Apparently, she's on one of
those low-carbonated diets.

151
00:05:13,731 --> 00:05:14,774
[Frank chuckles]

152
00:05:14,816 --> 00:05:15,858
FRANK:
She won't even touch a cookie.

153
00:05:15,900 --> 00:05:18,027
Ah, that's low carbohydrate,
Frank,

154
00:05:18,069 --> 00:05:19,570
and I'm pretty sure you started
that rumor.

155
00:05:19,612 --> 00:05:21,197
Yeah, but it could be true.

156
00:05:21,239 --> 00:05:22,407
We don't know.

157
00:05:23,408 --> 00:05:24,909
Alright, I'll see you later.

158
00:05:26,411 --> 00:05:28,037
Alright, come on, your turn.

159
00:05:28,079 --> 00:05:29,205
You're funny, dad.

160
00:05:29,247 --> 00:05:30,623
Wait, I wasn't jo--

161
00:05:31,999 --> 00:05:33,876
I wasn't joking.

162
00:05:33,918 --> 00:05:35,670
Oh man!

163
00:05:35,712 --> 00:05:37,547
Ah!

164
00:05:44,971 --> 00:05:45,304
BELLA:
You okay?

165
00:05:45,346 --> 00:05:46,055
Huh?

166
00:05:46,097 --> 00:05:46,889
Me?

167
00:05:46,931 --> 00:05:48,224
Oh yes.

168
00:05:48,266 --> 00:05:49,976
I-- I'm fine.

169
00:05:50,017 --> 00:05:51,144
Are you sure?

170
00:05:51,185 --> 00:05:53,020
‘Cause you looked kind of green.

171
00:05:53,062 --> 00:05:54,147
Like mistletoe green.

172
00:05:54,188 --> 00:05:56,190
I-- I'm fine.

173
00:05:56,232 --> 00:05:58,901
Um, I heard they were
giving away some free samples

174
00:05:58,943 --> 00:06:00,027
over at Cooper's.

175
00:06:00,069 --> 00:06:01,404
Really?

176
00:06:01,446 --> 00:06:03,489
Um, I don't think so.

177
00:06:03,531 --> 00:06:05,408
My dad's not a big fan
of Cooper's anymore.

178
00:06:05,450 --> 00:06:06,743
Why is that?

179
00:06:06,784 --> 00:06:08,911
He said the new boss is just
a Grinch wannabe.

180
00:06:08,953 --> 00:06:10,204
I've heard worse.

181
00:06:10,246 --> 00:06:11,539
And that she should go back
to her smelly cave

182
00:06:11,581 --> 00:06:13,040
at the top of Mount Crumpit.

183
00:06:15,418 --> 00:06:17,211
He's right over there
if you wanna go meet him.

184
00:06:17,253 --> 00:06:18,796
Um, no.

185
00:06:18,838 --> 00:06:20,840
No, I think that's--
that's okay.

186
00:06:20,882 --> 00:06:23,092
But um, I hope you will give
Cooper's a chance,

187
00:06:23,134 --> 00:06:24,427
even if your dad won't.

188
00:06:24,469 --> 00:06:26,929
And I also hope you have
a very merry Christmas.

189
00:06:26,971 --> 00:06:28,139
You too.

190
00:06:29,390 --> 00:06:30,808
[Sighs]

191
00:06:32,310 --> 00:06:33,436
Homeward bound, Miss Annie?

192
00:06:33,478 --> 00:06:34,771
No, Arthur,

193
00:06:34,812 --> 00:06:36,314
I have one more stop
I need to make first.

194
00:06:36,355 --> 00:06:37,857
Alright.

195
00:06:43,488 --> 00:06:45,448
And from a net profit
stand point,

196
00:06:45,490 --> 00:06:46,824
with the cuts we've made,

197
00:06:46,866 --> 00:06:48,367
the outlook of Cooper's
going into the New Year

198
00:06:48,409 --> 00:06:50,745
is very positive.

199
00:06:50,787 --> 00:06:53,372
So, that's this week's update.

200
00:06:53,414 --> 00:06:55,583
You know, Rose loved
financial reports

201
00:06:55,625 --> 00:06:56,459
as much as the next person.

202
00:06:56,501 --> 00:06:57,794
[Chuckles]

203
00:06:57,835 --> 00:06:59,337
But perhaps she'd like
an update

204
00:06:59,379 --> 00:07:01,297
on her granddaughter's
personal life.

205
00:07:01,339 --> 00:07:02,757
Personal life, huh?

206
00:07:02,799 --> 00:07:04,050
What personal life?

207
00:07:04,092 --> 00:07:06,761
I only ever came to Maplewood
to visit grandma.

208
00:07:06,803 --> 00:07:10,014
All my friends are in New York
and Cooper's is all I have here.

209
00:07:11,057 --> 00:07:12,058
What am I?

210
00:07:12,100 --> 00:07:13,184
The ghost of Christmas past?

211
00:07:13,226 --> 00:07:15,186
Of course, I have you, Arthur.

212
00:07:16,979 --> 00:07:20,149
I just hope grandma knows
her legacy is in good hands.

213
00:07:20,191 --> 00:07:22,193
Hmm.

214
00:07:22,235 --> 00:07:24,153
Working at Cooper's?

215
00:07:24,195 --> 00:07:26,364
Living in Maplewood?

216
00:07:26,406 --> 00:07:29,409
Your grandmother loved it.

217
00:07:29,450 --> 00:07:32,995
Her life was full of joy.

218
00:07:33,037 --> 00:07:35,748
And I know she wanted that
for you as well.

219
00:07:35,790 --> 00:07:37,500
Joy, huh?

220
00:07:37,542 --> 00:07:39,711
Will you tell me what could be
more joyful

221
00:07:39,752 --> 00:07:41,337
than a successful quarter?

222
00:07:41,379 --> 00:07:42,839
[Both chuckle]

223
00:07:42,880 --> 00:07:45,508
Are you coming
to our Christmas party tonight?

224
00:07:45,550 --> 00:07:47,135
I don't think so, my dear.

225
00:07:47,176 --> 00:07:49,762
Now Rose managed
to drag me out now and then,

226
00:07:49,804 --> 00:07:52,056
but uh, I'm a homebody at heart.

227
00:07:52,932 --> 00:07:55,309
She was so lucky to have
a friend like you.

228
00:08:01,065 --> 00:08:04,026
[Sighs]

229
00:08:04,068 --> 00:08:08,406
Don't worry, Rose,
she'll find her way in the end.

230
00:08:08,448 --> 00:08:17,331
[***]

231
00:08:26,340 --> 00:08:28,092
Showtime.

232
00:08:29,761 --> 00:08:30,386
Hi.

233
00:08:30,428 --> 00:08:31,471
Merry Christmas.

234
00:08:31,512 --> 00:08:32,555
Oh yes, please.

235
00:08:32,597 --> 00:08:33,306
Thank you.

236
00:08:33,347 --> 00:08:34,724
I'm starving.

237
00:08:35,558 --> 00:08:36,309
Oh!

238
00:08:36,350 --> 00:08:38,978
That is very fishy, ooh.

239
00:08:41,064 --> 00:08:41,898
Richard, hi!

240
00:08:41,939 --> 00:08:42,732
Hey Jillian, hi.

241
00:08:42,774 --> 00:08:44,067
Here, have an hor d' oeuvre.

242
00:08:44,108 --> 00:08:44,776
Thanks.

243
00:08:44,817 --> 00:08:45,568
Enjoy, it's delicious.

244
00:08:45,610 --> 00:08:47,487
Thank you.

245
00:08:47,528 --> 00:08:48,780
Oh no, thank you.

246
00:08:52,700 --> 00:08:55,119
Oh well, they look pleased.

247
00:08:55,161 --> 00:08:57,663
If only all the shareholders
felt that way, right?

248
00:08:57,705 --> 00:09:00,249
Do people seem bored to you?

249
00:09:01,125 --> 00:09:02,794
Ah...

250
00:09:10,385 --> 00:09:11,010
Bored?

251
00:09:11,052 --> 00:09:13,262
No!

252
00:09:13,304 --> 00:09:15,556
Everyone is having a blast.

253
00:09:15,598 --> 00:09:16,891
Jillian...

254
00:09:16,933 --> 00:09:19,185
Okay, so just warn me
before Miriam gets here,

255
00:09:19,227 --> 00:09:20,561
because I'm gonna need
a chance to hide.

256
00:09:20,603 --> 00:09:21,896
Oh, she's not coming.

257
00:09:21,938 --> 00:09:23,398
She wasn't feeling well
apparently.

258
00:09:23,439 --> 00:09:24,565
That's amazing!

259
00:09:24,607 --> 00:09:25,775
I mean, not that
she's not feeling well,

260
00:09:25,817 --> 00:09:27,652
obviously I hope that
she's gonna be okay.

261
00:09:27,693 --> 00:09:28,611
JILLIAN:
Right.

262
00:09:28,653 --> 00:09:29,445
But now I can actually relax.

263
00:09:29,487 --> 00:09:30,947
Let's relax!

264
00:09:30,988 --> 00:09:32,490
Relax.

265
00:09:32,532 --> 00:09:35,034
Hi, I would love a dry martini
with three olives, please.

266
00:09:35,076 --> 00:09:36,411
And?

267
00:09:36,452 --> 00:09:38,830
I'll do the same.

268
00:09:41,165 --> 00:09:41,582
Hey, Miss C...

269
00:09:41,624 --> 00:09:42,375
Yo!

270
00:09:42,417 --> 00:09:43,292
Miss C, check it out!

271
00:09:43,334 --> 00:09:47,130
Oh wow, that is classy.

272
00:09:47,171 --> 00:09:47,588
Good job, guys.

273
00:09:47,630 --> 00:09:48,631
Yes!

274
00:09:48,673 --> 00:09:49,757
[Annie chuckles]

275
00:09:49,799 --> 00:09:51,384
ANNIE:
Thank you.

276
00:09:51,426 --> 00:09:52,468
Thank you.

277
00:09:52,510 --> 00:09:53,469
Chin-chin.

278
00:09:53,511 --> 00:09:55,054
Chin-chin.

279
00:09:55,096 --> 00:09:56,681
[Chuckles]

280
00:09:57,682 --> 00:09:59,726
Mmm, that is so good.

281
00:09:59,767 --> 00:10:01,978
Oh yeah, um...

282
00:10:02,019 --> 00:10:02,603
so excellent.

283
00:10:02,645 --> 00:10:03,855
Mm.

284
00:10:05,106 --> 00:10:07,984
So, are you giving a speech
tonight?

285
00:10:08,025 --> 00:10:09,444
Oh no.

286
00:10:09,485 --> 00:10:11,487
No, no, I'm not really a public
speaking kind of gal.

287
00:10:11,529 --> 00:10:12,405
Oh.

288
00:10:12,447 --> 00:10:13,865
What?

289
00:10:13,906 --> 00:10:14,407
Nothing.

290
00:10:14,449 --> 00:10:15,658
I was...

291
00:10:15,700 --> 00:10:17,785
It's just grandma gives a speech
every year,

292
00:10:17,827 --> 00:10:20,037
so I think people might be
expecting it.

293
00:10:20,079 --> 00:10:23,374
Oh well, so much for being able
to relax.

294
00:10:23,416 --> 00:10:24,167
Oh.

295
00:10:24,208 --> 00:10:25,001
Wish me luck.

296
00:10:25,043 --> 00:10:26,044
Good luck.

297
00:10:27,587 --> 00:10:29,380
So ah...

298
00:10:30,256 --> 00:10:31,466
Yeah, I'll have an eggnog
on the rocks.

299
00:10:31,507 --> 00:10:33,176
Two candy canes please.

300
00:10:39,849 --> 00:10:42,060
Is everyone having fun tonight?

301
00:10:42,101 --> 00:10:43,186
-Yeah!
-Wooo!

302
00:10:43,227 --> 00:10:44,854
[Cheering and clapping]

303
00:10:45,605 --> 00:10:46,814
ANNIE:
Well, merry Christmas

304
00:10:46,856 --> 00:10:51,152
and thank you all so much
for being here.

305
00:10:51,194 --> 00:10:53,529
Now, I know if my grandma
were standing up here right now,

306
00:10:53,571 --> 00:10:56,574
she would probably start out
with one of her classic jokes.

307
00:10:56,616 --> 00:10:57,700
Like...

308
00:10:57,742 --> 00:10:59,535
what do snowmen eat
for Christmas?

309
00:10:59,577 --> 00:11:00,620
[Chuckles]

310
00:11:00,661 --> 00:11:01,579
Frosted flakes.

311
00:11:01,621 --> 00:11:03,206
That's right!

312
00:11:03,247 --> 00:11:05,041
And by a show of hands,

313
00:11:05,083 --> 00:11:07,001
how many people in this room
have fallen victim

314
00:11:07,043 --> 00:11:09,128
to one of grandma's
practical jokes?

315
00:11:09,170 --> 00:11:10,588
Oh yeah.

316
00:11:10,630 --> 00:11:11,923
-Me for sure.
-ANNIE: I thought so.

317
00:11:11,964 --> 00:11:14,467
You know one year,
grandma actually gift-wrapped

318
00:11:14,509 --> 00:11:16,677
my entire dorm room
for Christmas.

319
00:11:16,719 --> 00:11:19,889
[Gasps and chuckles]

320
00:11:21,224 --> 00:11:24,477
Now I know I may seem
like a stranger to a lot of you

321
00:11:24,519 --> 00:11:27,105
in this room, but the truth is,

322
00:11:27,146 --> 00:11:29,649
we all share something
in common.

323
00:11:29,690 --> 00:11:32,235
And that's that,
I miss my grandma, too.

324
00:11:35,029 --> 00:11:36,489
And I'm not gonna stand up here

325
00:11:36,531 --> 00:11:40,159
and pretend that I can replace
the woman we all loved,

326
00:11:40,201 --> 00:11:43,079
or even remotely
fill her shoes, as they say.

327
00:11:43,121 --> 00:11:45,915
But I made a promise to myself

328
00:11:45,957 --> 00:11:48,209
and I made a promise
to my grandma,

329
00:11:48,251 --> 00:11:50,628
that I would do everything
in my power

330
00:11:50,670 --> 00:11:53,047
to make sure that Cooper
survives.

331
00:11:53,089 --> 00:11:55,258
And I believe that
with your help,

332
00:11:55,299 --> 00:11:59,178
Cooper's has
a very bright future indeed.

333
00:11:59,220 --> 00:12:00,763
Because after all,

334
00:12:00,805 --> 00:12:03,266
it's not Christmas
without Cooper's.

335
00:12:05,560 --> 00:12:08,438
[People cheer]

336
00:12:11,524 --> 00:12:12,316
Ooh!

337
00:12:12,358 --> 00:12:13,317
[Chuckles]

338
00:12:13,943 --> 00:12:16,320
ANNIE:
Merry Christmas, everyone!

339
00:12:22,076 --> 00:12:23,286
JILLIAN:
Accounting got back to me...

340
00:12:23,327 --> 00:12:24,495
Finally!

341
00:12:24,537 --> 00:12:25,413
They'll have the budget ready
for Friday.

342
00:12:25,455 --> 00:12:26,456
Reschedule for Wednesday.

343
00:12:26,497 --> 00:12:27,749
Okay.

344
00:12:27,790 --> 00:12:28,750
You have a 2:00 meeting
with Seattle.

345
00:12:28,791 --> 00:12:29,709
Reschedule for Monday.

346
00:12:29,751 --> 00:12:30,960
Oh, okay.

347
00:12:31,002 --> 00:12:31,878
Are you gonna need a car
this weekend?

348
00:12:31,919 --> 00:12:33,337
ANNIE:
Still thinking about it.

349
00:12:36,340 --> 00:12:38,634
Oh no.

350
00:12:38,676 --> 00:12:41,637
Oh no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

351
00:12:41,679 --> 00:12:42,805
Where is it?

352
00:12:42,847 --> 00:12:43,806
Where is it?

353
00:12:43,848 --> 00:12:44,974
What happened?

354
00:12:45,016 --> 00:12:46,601
Someone stole
grandma's secret recipe.

355
00:12:46,642 --> 00:12:47,518
[Gasps]

356
00:12:47,560 --> 00:12:48,478
Oh my gosh.

357
00:12:48,519 --> 00:12:50,354
Oh my gosh!

358
00:12:50,396 --> 00:12:51,022
What are you doing?

359
00:12:51,064 --> 00:12:51,647
Calling the police.

360
00:12:51,689 --> 00:12:52,398
ANNIE:
No!

361
00:12:52,440 --> 00:12:53,524
No, no, no, no, no.

362
00:12:53,566 --> 00:12:55,234
No one can know the recipe
is missing.

363
00:12:55,276 --> 00:12:57,820
This could be the end
of Cooper's.

364
00:12:57,862 --> 00:13:00,156
What do we do?

365
00:13:00,198 --> 00:13:01,908
Well, the factory uses
a digital copy

366
00:13:01,949 --> 00:13:03,367
to make the cookies.

367
00:13:03,409 --> 00:13:05,369
So, how do we access that?

368
00:13:05,411 --> 00:13:05,995
IT.

369
00:13:06,037 --> 00:13:06,704

370
00:13:06,746 --> 00:13:08,790
Okay, let's go to IT.

371
00:13:08,831 --> 00:13:09,624
Okay, where--

372
00:13:09,665 --> 00:13:11,375
Oh, wait.

373
00:13:14,003 --> 00:13:16,005

374
00:13:16,047 --> 00:13:17,423
I don't know.
Let's go.

00:13:17,465 --> 00:13:18,674

376
00:13:18,716 --> 00:13:19,842
JILLIAN:

00:13:19,884 --> 00:13:21,135

-ANNIE: Okay.

378
00:13:21,177 --> 00:13:23,429
JILLIAN:
Um, can I just um, have that--

379
00:13:23,471 --> 00:13:23,930
That phone back?

380
00:13:29,227 --> 00:13:30,645
SAM:
She's dead, isn't she?

381
00:13:30,686 --> 00:13:32,146
As a door nail.

382
00:13:32,188 --> 00:13:33,981
I told you,
you pushed her too hard.

383
00:13:34,023 --> 00:13:35,525
Well, how was I supposed
to know?

384
00:13:35,566 --> 00:13:36,859
Honestly,

385
00:13:36,901 --> 00:13:38,027
I'm surprised she lasted
as long as she did.

Ooh, don't mind if I do?

389
00:13:43,157 --> 00:13:44,784
She always held her temperature,

390
00:13:44,826 --> 00:13:45,743
and she baked every batch
evenly.

391
00:13:45,785 --> 00:13:47,703
Mm-hmm.

392
00:13:47,745 --> 00:13:48,538

You're a repairman.

402
00:14:12,228 --> 00:14:13,563
You didn't repair anything.

403
00:14:13,604 --> 00:14:15,398
Time is money, my friend.

404
00:14:15,440 --> 00:14:16,232

Alright.

gas station, as if.

00:18:34,741 --> 00:18:36,075
do you think this is some kind
of joke?

Well, Sam Hobbs,

519
00:19:12,820 --> 00:19:15,114
one of your regulars committed
a crime against my company

520
00:19:15,156 --> 00:19:16,616
and I'm here to find out who.

521
00:19:16,657 --> 00:19:17,283
A crime?

522
00:19:17,325 --> 00:19:18,117
What crime?

523
00:19:18,159 --> 00:19:19,243
Well, hello, it's you again.

524
00:19:19,285 --> 00:19:20,453
I hate to break it to you,

525
00:19:20,495 --> 00:19:21,996
but none of my regulars
are criminals.

526
00:19:22,038 --> 00:19:23,331
And how can you be so sure?

527
00:19:23,372 --> 00:19:24,999
Unless where were you
last night

528
00:19:25,041 --> 00:19:26,793
between 6:00 p.m. and midnight?

529
00:19:26,834 --> 00:19:28,961

none of your business.

530
00:19:29,003 --> 00:19:30,505
He was with me.

532
00:19:31,297 --> 00:19:32,673
You've got an alibi, dad.

533
00:19:32,715 --> 00:19:34,258
Dad?

534
00:19:34,300 --> 00:19:35,843
Ha.

535
00:19:35,885 --> 00:19:37,303
So you're the one who's
not a big fan of Cooper's.

536
00:19:37,345 --> 00:19:38,721
I believe that's what they call
“a motive”.

537
00:19:38,763 --> 00:19:39,931
Cool.

538
00:19:39,972 --> 00:19:41,140
Really, Bella?

539
00:19:41,182 --> 00:19:42,141
Oh.

540
00:19:42,183 --> 00:19:43,267
Except he really was with me.

541
00:19:43,309 --> 00:19:44,811
I had a dance rehearsal.

542
00:19:44,852 --> 00:19:46,521
Can someone verify that?

543
00:19:46,562 --> 00:19:48,106
Okay, I think it's time
for you to leave.

544
00:19:48,147 --> 00:19:49,315
Hmm, can't take the heat.

545
00:19:49,357 --> 00:19:50,608
I will get out of your kitchen.

546
00:19:53,820 --> 00:19:55,488
For someone who claims
to be innocent,

547
00:19:55,530 --> 00:19:57,490
you sure are defensive.

548
00:19:57,532 --> 00:20:00,243
And what exactly is this crime
that you're accusing me of?

549
00:20:00,284 --> 00:20:01,327
I can't tell you.

550
00:20:01,369 --> 00:20:02,578
[Chuckles]

551
00:20:02,620 --> 00:20:04,288
Look, I'm-- I'm sorry
for whatever it is

552
00:20:04,330 --> 00:20:05,373
that happened at Cooper's,

553
00:20:05,415 --> 00:20:06,332
but if a crime really
was committed

554
00:20:06,374 --> 00:20:07,834
you should just call the cops.

555
00:20:10,044 --> 00:20:12,004
You offered me a cookie, so...

556
00:20:13,673 --> 00:20:15,091
Thank you.

557
00:20:15,133 --> 00:20:17,343
Okay, Bella, come on.

558
00:20:17,385 --> 00:20:19,971
I'd better go. Bye.

559
00:20:20,012 --> 00:20:28,938
[***]

560
00:20:29,272 --> 00:20:30,189
ANNIE:
No, Jillian.

561
00:20:30,231 --> 00:20:32,108
It was a complete disaster.

562
00:20:32,150 --> 00:20:34,694
I accused the owner of theft,
I got kicked out of the bakery.

563
00:20:34,736 --> 00:20:37,780
I think that at least qualifies
as a minor catastrophe.

564
00:20:39,824 --> 00:20:42,118
Hang on,
let me call you right back.

565
00:20:46,914 --> 00:20:47,457
Arthur.

566
00:20:47,498 --> 00:20:48,207
[Arthur chuckles]

567
00:20:48,249 --> 00:20:49,375
Hey, is everything okay?

568
00:20:49,417 --> 00:20:51,627
Oh yes, quite alright.

569
00:20:51,669 --> 00:20:54,213
But I saw that you forgot
something in the back seat.

570
00:20:54,255 --> 00:20:55,006
Thank you.

571
00:20:55,048 --> 00:20:56,591
Enjoy.

572
00:20:56,632 --> 00:20:59,469
Hey, you worked for grandma
longer than anyone.

573
00:20:59,510 --> 00:21:02,180
Did she ever tell you
her secret recipe?

574
00:21:02,221 --> 00:21:03,431
No, Miss Annie.

575
00:21:03,473 --> 00:21:05,933
And I did not think it my place
to ask.

576
00:21:05,975 --> 00:21:07,268
Of course,

577
00:21:07,310 --> 00:21:09,270
the ingredients are all listed
on the box.

578
00:21:09,312 --> 00:21:10,605
Right.

579
00:21:10,646 --> 00:21:11,939
But it would take
a highly skilled baker

580
00:21:11,981 --> 00:21:14,108
to figure out
the right combination.

581
00:21:15,276 --> 00:21:16,277
Goodnight.

582
00:21:16,319 --> 00:21:18,154
Goodnight.

583
00:21:18,196 --> 00:21:27,080
[***]

584
00:21:30,124 --> 00:21:31,501
Mmm.

585
00:21:35,296 --> 00:21:36,756
BELLA:
But I don't get it.

586
00:21:36,798 --> 00:21:38,132
Why an orange?

587
00:21:38,174 --> 00:21:39,425
I don't know.

588
00:21:39,467 --> 00:21:41,302
But Santa put one
in my stocking every year.

589
00:21:41,344 --> 00:21:43,179
Maybe he ran out of coal.

590
00:21:43,221 --> 00:21:44,138
How dare you!

591
00:21:45,932 --> 00:21:46,265
-Hi.
-Hi.

592
00:21:46,307 --> 00:21:46,974
Hi.

593
00:21:48,184 --> 00:21:50,812
I came to apologize.

594
00:21:51,604 --> 00:21:53,940
30 seconds, that's all I ask.

595
00:21:55,149 --> 00:21:57,026
Ohhh...

596
00:21:57,068 --> 00:21:58,069
Wow.

597
00:21:58,111 --> 00:21:59,028
Oh, thank you.

598
00:21:59,070 --> 00:22:00,446
It's so much warmer in here.

599
00:22:00,488 --> 00:22:02,073
Okay, you have 30 seconds.

600
00:22:02,115 --> 00:22:04,158
Well, I didn't literally mean
30 seconds.

601
00:22:04,200 --> 00:22:05,993
Okay, okay.

602
00:22:06,035 --> 00:22:07,870
Yesterday,

603
00:22:07,912 --> 00:22:12,458
I may have been a d--
teeny tiny bit out of line.

604
00:22:12,500 --> 00:22:13,918
Was that your apology?

605
00:22:13,960 --> 00:22:14,961
Yes.

606
00:22:15,002 --> 00:22:16,879
And I really mean it.

607
00:22:16,921 --> 00:22:17,755
Unbelievable.

608
00:22:17,797 --> 00:22:18,798
What did you expect me to do?

609
00:22:18,840 --> 00:22:20,425
You want me to fall down
on my knees?

610
00:22:20,466 --> 00:22:22,218
Oh, look at that, time's up.

611
00:22:22,260 --> 00:22:23,970
Well, what about you?

612
00:22:24,011 --> 00:22:25,054
What about me?

613
00:22:25,096 --> 00:22:27,140
Yesterday, I think you
were quite rude.

614
00:22:27,181 --> 00:22:28,433
You accused me of a crime!

615
00:22:28,474 --> 00:22:30,268
You were a likely suspect.

616
00:22:30,309 --> 00:22:31,227
You're not a detective.

617
00:22:33,396 --> 00:22:36,149
Someone stole
my grandma's secret recipe.

618
00:22:38,609 --> 00:22:39,652
Wait, are you serious?

619
00:22:39,694 --> 00:22:41,904
And we found this
at the crime scene.

620
00:22:41,946 --> 00:22:44,615
So, we think whoever did it
must spend a lot of time here.

621
00:22:46,200 --> 00:22:48,244
Okay, well, I'm telling you
that I didn't do it.

622
00:22:48,286 --> 00:22:49,454
I know you didn't do it.

623
00:22:49,495 --> 00:22:51,038
And I'm sorry I accused you
like that.

624
00:22:52,665 --> 00:22:54,250
Well, thank you.

625
00:22:54,292 --> 00:22:56,335
And I'm sorry that your
grandmother's recipe got stolen.

626
00:22:56,377 --> 00:22:57,420
I wish I could help.

627
00:22:57,462 --> 00:22:58,504
You actually can.

628
00:22:58,546 --> 00:22:59,922
That-- that is why I'm here.

629
00:22:59,964 --> 00:23:01,007
[Scoffs]

630
00:23:01,049 --> 00:23:01,883
And I thought you came
to apologize.

631
00:23:01,924 --> 00:23:04,010
Yeah well, I came for that, too.

632
00:23:04,052 --> 00:23:07,430
Look, everyone keeps telling me
how great your cookies are.

633
00:23:07,472 --> 00:23:09,015
And they're right.

634
00:23:09,057 --> 00:23:10,266
See, I've now tried one.

635
00:23:10,308 --> 00:23:11,559
This cookie was good.

636
00:23:11,601 --> 00:23:13,019
It's really, really good.

637
00:23:13,061 --> 00:23:14,562
Hmm, well, thank you.

638
00:23:14,604 --> 00:23:16,522
Almost as good as my grandma's.

639
00:23:16,564 --> 00:23:18,024
There it is.

640
00:23:18,066 --> 00:23:20,026
But I've never said that
about another cookie before.

641
00:23:20,068 --> 00:23:20,902
Ever.

642
00:23:20,943 --> 00:23:22,153
Look, is this going somewhere?

643
00:23:22,195 --> 00:23:23,321
I-- I'm--

644
00:23:23,362 --> 00:23:25,865
I'm asking you if you would
help me

645
00:23:25,907 --> 00:23:27,950
figure out
my grandma's secret recipe

646
00:23:27,992 --> 00:23:30,536
before anyone realizes
it's missing.

647
00:23:30,578 --> 00:23:31,662
Is this a joke?

648
00:23:31,704 --> 00:23:33,581
Do I look like I'm laughing?

649
00:23:33,623 --> 00:23:35,249
Let me get this straight.

650
00:23:35,291 --> 00:23:36,793
Yesterday you accused me
of a theft

651
00:23:36,834 --> 00:23:38,127
and today you want me
to help save your company?

652
00:23:38,169 --> 00:23:39,087
Yes.

653
00:23:39,128 --> 00:23:40,671
No thanks.

654
00:23:42,090 --> 00:23:42,632
Okay.

655
00:23:43,716 --> 00:23:45,051
I will do whatever it takes.

656
00:23:45,093 --> 00:23:45,510
Nope.

657
00:23:45,551 --> 00:23:46,260
Money!

658
00:23:46,302 --> 00:23:47,261
I can pay you.

659
00:23:47,303 --> 00:23:48,012
Well, we don't need your money.

660
00:23:48,054 --> 00:23:48,471
Yes, you do.

661
00:23:48,513 --> 00:23:49,305
See?

662
00:23:49,347 --> 00:23:50,390
Everyone needs money.

663
00:23:50,431 --> 00:23:51,265
Well, I don't.

664
00:23:55,395 --> 00:23:56,646
It's supposed to do that.

665
00:23:56,687 --> 00:23:58,106
I'll buy you a new oven.

666
00:23:58,147 --> 00:23:58,898
We'll do it.

667
00:23:58,940 --> 00:23:59,690
No, we won't.

668
00:23:59,732 --> 00:24:01,192
We definitely will.

669
00:24:01,234 --> 00:24:02,360
We're not doing it, okay.

670
00:24:02,402 --> 00:24:03,528
We don't need your money.

671
00:24:03,569 --> 00:24:04,862
That's final, we're out.

672
00:24:10,785 --> 00:24:11,744
ANNIE:
I'm sorry.

673
00:24:11,786 --> 00:24:14,622
Um, what were you saying?

674
00:24:22,380 --> 00:24:23,589
One more on the roof.

675
00:24:23,631 --> 00:24:25,007
Hmm, one more.

676
00:24:26,342 --> 00:24:27,260
Morning, you two.

677
00:24:27,301 --> 00:24:28,094
Hey.

678
00:24:28,136 --> 00:24:29,262
And the candy-cane mailbox.

679
00:24:29,303 --> 00:24:30,221
Look at that.

680
00:24:30,263 --> 00:24:31,389
Good morning.

681
00:24:31,431 --> 00:24:33,307
I thought parents
weren't allowed to help

682
00:24:33,349 --> 00:24:34,892
with the school competition?

683
00:24:34,934 --> 00:24:36,644
What do you mean competition?

684
00:24:36,686 --> 00:24:38,563
Bella, you said this was
for a bake sale.

685
00:24:38,604 --> 00:24:39,731
Thanks, dad.

686
00:24:39,772 --> 00:24:41,315
I think I've got a real shot
tomorrow.

687
00:24:41,357 --> 00:24:42,150
[Marge chuckles]

688
00:24:42,191 --> 00:24:43,276
We're gonna talk when you--

689
00:24:44,777 --> 00:24:46,863
We're gonna talk
when she gets home.

690
00:24:46,904 --> 00:24:50,241
So, I heard you made a deal
with Annie Cooper yesterday?

691
00:24:50,283 --> 00:24:52,243
Oh, that's who that was.

692
00:24:52,285 --> 00:24:54,412
‘Cause I kind of feel like
I sold my soul.

693
00:24:54,454 --> 00:24:56,748
Oh, don't be so dramatic.

694
00:24:56,789 --> 00:24:57,665
I knew her as a girl, you know.

695
00:24:57,707 --> 00:24:59,584
Mm-hmm.

696
00:24:59,625 --> 00:25:01,669
She and her parents would spend
every Christmas in Maplewood.

697
00:25:01,711 --> 00:25:04,255
And she was
the sweetest little thing.

698
00:25:04,297 --> 00:25:05,423
Well, if there's any sweetness
left in there,

699
00:25:05,465 --> 00:25:06,799
I haven't seen it.

700
00:25:06,841 --> 00:25:08,051
MARGE:
Oh, give it some time.

701
00:25:09,302 --> 00:25:11,304
Oh,
I'm gonna need a bigger watch.

702
00:25:11,345 --> 00:25:12,388
[chuckles]

703
00:25:19,687 --> 00:25:23,191
Okay, team,
so let's set up right over here.

704
00:25:23,232 --> 00:25:25,693
This will be our base
of operations for now.

705
00:25:25,735 --> 00:25:26,819
Ah.

706
00:25:29,822 --> 00:25:31,407
What's going on?

707
00:25:31,449 --> 00:25:33,159
Oh, Jillian, this is Sam.

708
00:25:33,201 --> 00:25:34,160
Hi.

709
00:25:34,202 --> 00:25:35,328
I didn't realize you'd be
moving in

710
00:25:35,369 --> 00:25:38,206
and contaminating
my sterile workspace.

711
00:25:38,247 --> 00:25:40,958
Well, I'm not gonna put
all my eggs in one basket.

712
00:25:41,000 --> 00:25:42,126
And we still have
to catch this thief,

713
00:25:42,168 --> 00:25:43,252
and working out of Cooper's,

714
00:25:43,294 --> 00:25:44,921
it's gonna draw
too much attention.

715
00:25:44,962 --> 00:25:46,089
Hey, Miss Cooper,

716
00:25:46,130 --> 00:25:47,507
did you just want this
in the trash?

717
00:25:48,591 --> 00:25:49,967
Why's he touching my sign?

718
00:25:50,009 --> 00:25:51,594
Well, I'm helping you.

719
00:25:51,636 --> 00:25:53,012
It's amateur marketing.

720
00:25:53,054 --> 00:25:55,181
The best things in the world
don't have to tell you

721
00:25:55,223 --> 00:25:56,099
they're the best.

722
00:25:56,140 --> 00:25:57,850
They just speak for themselves.

723
00:25:58,601 --> 00:25:59,977
Yeah.

724
00:26:00,353 --> 00:26:01,479
Oh.

725
00:26:05,066 --> 00:26:06,359
Yeah.

726
00:26:06,401 --> 00:26:08,152
Hey, could I grab
a peppermint latte?

727
00:26:08,194 --> 00:26:09,028
SAM:
Nope.

728
00:26:09,070 --> 00:26:09,987
MARGE:
Oh, I wouldn't.

729
00:26:10,029 --> 00:26:11,197
Sam likes to be alone.

730
00:26:11,239 --> 00:26:12,615
Oh, I got this.

731
00:26:12,657 --> 00:26:13,491
Sam?

732
00:26:13,533 --> 00:26:14,992
Sam?

733
00:26:15,034 --> 00:26:16,661
Okay, team,
what do we have so far?

734
00:26:16,702 --> 00:26:17,537
Timelines?

735
00:26:17,578 --> 00:26:18,496
List of suspects?

736
00:26:18,538 --> 00:26:19,747
Clues?

737
00:26:19,789 --> 00:26:20,998
This case isn't gonna solve
itself.

738
00:26:21,040 --> 00:26:22,208
Ah, well, we had a clue

739
00:26:22,250 --> 00:26:23,751
but it turned out
to be dead end.

740
00:26:23,793 --> 00:26:25,837
And we don't really know
where to go from here.

741
00:26:25,878 --> 00:26:27,004
Then it's a good thing
you came to me.

742
00:26:27,046 --> 00:26:28,214
We didn't, actually.

743
00:26:28,256 --> 00:26:29,757
Motive and means,

744
00:26:29,799 --> 00:26:31,551
the two most important things
any good detective looks for

745
00:26:31,592 --> 00:26:32,468
when solving a case.

746
00:26:32,510 --> 00:26:33,469
The Mistletoe Mysteries!

747
00:26:33,511 --> 00:26:34,804
I used to love these.

748
00:26:34,846 --> 00:26:36,389
Have you read the case
of the Caroling Cadavers?

749
00:26:36,431 --> 00:26:36,806
I'm almost done.

750
00:26:36,848 --> 00:26:37,724
Calvin.

751
00:26:37,765 --> 00:26:38,725
Sorry.

752
00:26:38,766 --> 00:26:39,809
Yeah.

753
00:26:39,851 --> 00:26:40,852
Well, I don't know about
motive,

754
00:26:40,893 --> 00:26:42,395
but they definitely had means.

755
00:26:42,437 --> 00:26:43,521
I mean whoever did this,

756
00:26:43,563 --> 00:26:45,356
knew exactly how to get in
undetected,

757
00:26:45,398 --> 00:26:47,817
erase the security footage,
and access my system

758
00:26:47,859 --> 00:26:49,902
all without triggering an alarm.

759
00:26:49,944 --> 00:26:52,238
But how is that possible?

760
00:26:52,280 --> 00:26:53,906
I thought you were in charge.

761
00:26:59,954 --> 00:27:02,415
You do know we're
on a tight deadline, right?

762
00:27:04,000 --> 00:27:05,626
You're ruining my happy place.

763
00:27:05,668 --> 00:27:07,503
Christmas is only 10 days away.

764
00:27:07,545 --> 00:27:08,880
12, actually.

765
00:27:08,921 --> 00:27:10,048
Bella announces it
every morning.

766
00:27:10,089 --> 00:27:11,883
Hey, what's your problem?

767
00:27:11,924 --> 00:27:13,217
I already apologized
for yesterday.

768
00:27:13,259 --> 00:27:15,011
So, do you wanna tell me
what's going on?

769
00:27:15,053 --> 00:27:16,554
You know, the Cooper's Light Up

770
00:27:16,596 --> 00:27:18,890
is the single most important
Christmas event in Maplewood.

771
00:27:18,931 --> 00:27:20,016
You know who sponsors
the school?

772
00:27:20,058 --> 00:27:21,559
The hospital?

773
00:27:21,601 --> 00:27:23,394
And my daughter's dance program?

774
00:27:23,436 --> 00:27:24,187
Cooper's.

775
00:27:24,228 --> 00:27:24,812
Hmm.

776
00:27:24,854 --> 00:27:26,230
Your grandmother,

777
00:27:26,272 --> 00:27:28,816
she invested in this city
and the people in it.

778
00:27:28,858 --> 00:27:30,359
Then you come along
and everything changes.

779
00:27:30,401 --> 00:27:31,736
You seem to know a lot
about the company.

780
00:27:31,778 --> 00:27:33,071
Yeah, I know enough.

781
00:27:33,112 --> 00:27:34,572
Then you should know
we have about two years

782
00:27:34,614 --> 00:27:36,115
before Cooper shuts down.

783
00:27:37,909 --> 00:27:39,243
Shuts down?

784
00:27:39,285 --> 00:27:41,287
Unless someone like me
does something about it.

785
00:27:41,329 --> 00:27:43,956
Cooper's has run at a loss
for the past three years.

786
00:27:43,998 --> 00:27:45,416
We can't compete
with the major brands.

787
00:27:45,458 --> 00:27:47,543
They have bigger budgets,
better marketing.

788
00:27:47,585 --> 00:27:49,253
They're not afraid to play
dirty and I should know,

789
00:27:49,295 --> 00:27:51,339
I worked for a few of them.

790
00:27:51,381 --> 00:27:53,132
Look, I loved that
my grandma wanted

791
00:27:53,174 --> 00:27:54,384
to give back to Maplewood,

792
00:27:54,425 --> 00:27:57,053
but if we're gonna survive,
we have to adapt.

793
00:27:58,513 --> 00:27:59,972
What are you doing?

794
00:28:00,014 --> 00:28:02,100
This place has the best spices.

795
00:28:02,141 --> 00:28:03,976
I'm gonna need a lot of them
if we're gonna figure out

796
00:28:04,018 --> 00:28:05,269
your grandmother's
secret recipe.

797
00:28:05,311 --> 00:28:06,562
Thank you.

798
00:28:09,023 --> 00:28:11,150
How did you get
into baking cookies anyway?

799
00:28:11,192 --> 00:28:13,444
You strike me as more
of a rye bread kind of guy.

800
00:28:13,486 --> 00:28:14,529
Excuse me?

801
00:28:14,570 --> 00:28:15,988
I'm a sourdough man.

802
00:28:16,030 --> 00:28:18,157
Dry and crusty.
That makes sense.

803
00:28:18,199 --> 00:28:19,283
What kind of bread are you?

804
00:28:19,325 --> 00:28:20,159
Banana.

805
00:28:20,201 --> 00:28:21,160
You know, that doesn't count.

806
00:28:21,202 --> 00:28:22,370
Why does banana not count?

807
00:28:22,412 --> 00:28:24,789
Because banana
is actually a cake.

808
00:28:24,831 --> 00:28:26,833
Well then,
I'm eating too much cake.

809
00:28:26,874 --> 00:28:27,834
Okay.

810
00:28:27,875 --> 00:28:29,001
You didn't answer my question.

811
00:28:29,043 --> 00:28:30,378
I wanna know the secret

812
00:28:30,420 --> 00:28:32,255
behind your
world famous cookies.

813
00:28:34,507 --> 00:28:35,341
It's complicated.

814
00:28:35,383 --> 00:28:37,510
You make complicated cookies?

815
00:28:37,552 --> 00:28:39,679
No, life is complicated.

816
00:28:41,472 --> 00:28:43,641
Three years ago,
Bella and I lost her mum.

817
00:28:43,683 --> 00:28:45,643
Oh, I'm so sorry.

818
00:28:45,685 --> 00:28:46,686
It's okay.

819
00:28:48,354 --> 00:28:51,190
That particular Christmas
I wanted Bella to smile again.

820
00:28:51,232 --> 00:28:52,817
So, I told her we could bake
any kind of cookie

821
00:28:52,859 --> 00:28:53,818
that she wanted.

822
00:28:53,860 --> 00:28:55,903
Anything
in the whole entire world.

823
00:28:55,945 --> 00:28:57,530
You know what she said?

824
00:28:57,572 --> 00:28:59,282
“Dad,
I want a sugar plum cookie.”

825
00:28:59,323 --> 00:29:00,950
[Chuckles]

826
00:29:00,992 --> 00:29:02,201
What is a sugar plum cookie?

827
00:29:02,243 --> 00:29:05,747
I had no idea,
but I made it up.

828
00:29:05,788 --> 00:29:06,998
I don't know I guess,

829
00:29:07,039 --> 00:29:09,208
I guess that's my secret.

830
00:29:09,250 --> 00:29:10,168
I don't make cookies for me.

831
00:29:10,209 --> 00:29:12,045
I make cookies for Bella.

832
00:29:13,504 --> 00:29:15,715
And I guess now
I'm baking cookies for you.

833
00:29:22,638 --> 00:29:24,348
Mmm.

834
00:29:24,390 --> 00:29:25,850
Close.

835
00:29:25,892 --> 00:29:26,642
-Munchier...
-Munchy.

836
00:29:26,684 --> 00:29:27,268
Right.

837
00:29:27,310 --> 00:29:27,769
Mm-hmm.

838
00:29:29,812 --> 00:29:31,522
Okay.

839
00:29:31,564 --> 00:29:33,107
All these batches
are slightly different,

840
00:29:33,149 --> 00:29:35,026
but I think I have the right
ratio of base ingredients.

841
00:29:35,068 --> 00:29:36,819
The water, sugar, flour,
and eggs.

842
00:29:36,861 --> 00:29:37,904
Now, it's just a matter

843
00:29:37,945 --> 00:29:39,655
of nailing down
the flavor agents.

844
00:29:39,697 --> 00:29:40,823
So, what do you think?

845
00:29:40,865 --> 00:29:42,033
They are all really good.

846
00:29:42,075 --> 00:29:43,534
But none of them
are quite right.

847
00:29:43,576 --> 00:29:44,410
Well, it's okay.

848
00:29:44,452 --> 00:29:45,828
Which do you think is closest?

849
00:29:45,870 --> 00:29:46,996
-That one.
-That one.

850
00:29:47,038 --> 00:29:48,915
Hm, I thought it was that one.

851
00:29:48,956 --> 00:29:50,333
I think I need to try them
all again.

852
00:29:51,626 --> 00:29:52,335
Hey.

853
00:29:52,377 --> 00:29:53,544
Where've you guys been?

854
00:29:53,586 --> 00:29:54,629
Cooper's.

855
00:29:54,670 --> 00:29:55,713
So, we went back
to check the digital log

856
00:29:55,755 --> 00:29:57,548
on the alarm.

857
00:29:57,590 --> 00:29:59,425
The thief used an employee code
that should have been disabled.

858
00:29:59,467 --> 00:30:00,593
Which employee?

859
00:30:00,635 --> 00:30:02,345
Grandma's.

860
00:30:02,387 --> 00:30:03,638
CALVIN:
There's only one explanation

861
00:30:03,679 --> 00:30:04,764
for how someone got their hands
on that code.

862
00:30:04,806 --> 00:30:06,224
It had to be an inside job.

863
00:30:06,265 --> 00:30:07,600
Best Christmas ever!

864
00:30:11,979 --> 00:30:13,022
Charlie?

865
00:30:13,064 --> 00:30:14,273
Mm, mm-mm.

866
00:30:14,315 --> 00:30:16,234
He stayed late
at the Christmas party.

867
00:30:16,275 --> 00:30:18,236
Besides, he's a very sweet man.

868
00:30:18,277 --> 00:30:20,238
What about Parker?

869
00:30:20,279 --> 00:30:22,448
Parker, Parker, no way.

870
00:30:22,490 --> 00:30:24,117
He volunteers on his days off

871
00:30:24,158 --> 00:30:26,702
and he teaches Bible studies
at the church on Sundays.

872
00:30:27,620 --> 00:30:29,038
Phil and Ned?

873
00:30:29,080 --> 00:30:30,540
Robot Ned,

874
00:30:30,581 --> 00:30:33,126
do humans taste as good
as their cookies?

875
00:30:33,167 --> 00:30:37,463
Robot Phil,
only one way to find out.

876
00:30:37,505 --> 00:30:39,632
-Must eat humans.
-Must eat humans.

877
00:30:39,674 --> 00:30:41,008
[Children chuckle]

878
00:30:41,050 --> 00:30:41,843
-No, definitely not them.
-Nah, it's not them.

879
00:30:41,884 --> 00:30:42,468
No, probably not the elves.

880
00:30:43,594 --> 00:30:44,762
Jillian, you know all
of the employees.

881
00:30:44,804 --> 00:30:46,097
Can you think of anyone
who would do this?

882
00:30:46,139 --> 00:30:48,057
No, I'm sorry,

883
00:30:48,099 --> 00:30:49,851
I just can't imagine anyone
who works here

884
00:30:49,892 --> 00:30:51,644
wanting to hurt Cooper's.

885
00:30:51,686 --> 00:30:54,439
What about someone who used
to work here?

886
00:30:54,480 --> 00:30:56,274
A fired employee,
still holds a grudge?

887
00:30:56,315 --> 00:30:57,692
Oh, I don't think there are
many of those.

888
00:30:57,734 --> 00:30:58,985
ANNIE:
Then, that should be easy
to narrow it down.

889
00:30:59,026 --> 00:31:00,486
Go to HR

890
00:31:00,528 --> 00:31:02,530
and pull the last five years
of employee records.

891
00:31:02,572 --> 00:31:03,489
I'm on it.

892
00:31:07,618 --> 00:31:09,036
I'm just gonna go see
if she needs any backup.

893
00:31:09,078 --> 00:31:10,538
Mm-hmm.

894
00:31:13,833 --> 00:31:14,917
-Oh!
-Oh.

895
00:31:14,959 --> 00:31:16,294
Miriam!

896
00:31:16,335 --> 00:31:19,881
You sure are stealthy
for a woman of your...

897
00:31:19,922 --> 00:31:21,049
I believe you were going
to say age.

898
00:31:21,090 --> 00:31:22,258
Uh, no.

899
00:31:22,300 --> 00:31:23,634
I was actually-- I was--
I was not--

900
00:31:23,676 --> 00:31:24,677
Don't worry, Miss Cooper.

901
00:31:24,719 --> 00:31:27,388
I'm not sensitive
about such things.

902
00:31:27,430 --> 00:31:30,475
Age is a gift of wisdom
and experience.

903
00:31:30,516 --> 00:31:32,560
And do you know what
my gift is telling me right now?

904
00:31:32,602 --> 00:31:33,311
I--

905
00:31:33,352 --> 00:31:34,979
You are hiding something.

906
00:31:35,021 --> 00:31:36,272
I'm not sure what,

907
00:31:36,314 --> 00:31:39,692
but secrets always come out
in the end.

908
00:31:45,406 --> 00:31:46,741
PHIL:
This is the best...

909
00:31:46,783 --> 00:31:47,867
Christmas ever.

910
00:31:47,909 --> 00:31:48,618
Okay, yeah.

911
00:31:48,659 --> 00:31:49,786
Not-- not now, guys.

912
00:31:50,787 --> 00:31:51,871
-Oh.
-Oh.

913
00:31:58,336 --> 00:31:59,629
Can we go again,
one more time?

914
00:31:59,670 --> 00:32:00,963
Again?

915
00:32:01,005 --> 00:32:03,007
Okay, fine.

916
00:32:03,049 --> 00:32:04,342
Last time though.

917
00:32:04,384 --> 00:32:05,510
Oh, wait, wait, wait, wait.

918
00:32:05,551 --> 00:32:06,177
Hold on.

919
00:32:06,219 --> 00:32:06,969
Let me get this off.

920
00:32:07,011 --> 00:32:09,555
And 5, 6, 7, 8...

921
00:32:09,597 --> 00:32:11,599

Posture.

924
00:32:13,559 --> 00:32:16,270
And point the toe,
point the toe.

925
00:32:16,312 --> 00:32:17,688
Point the toe.

926
00:32:17,730 --> 00:32:19,023
How nice.

927
00:32:20,650 --> 00:32:21,734
Oh...

928
00:32:21,776 --> 00:32:23,986
Remember nice
and natural relaxed arms.

929
00:32:25,571 --> 00:32:26,906
Okay.

930
00:32:26,948 --> 00:32:29,992
And my favorite, arabesque.

931
00:32:30,034 --> 00:32:31,953
And port de bras.

932
00:32:31,994 --> 00:32:34,872
Bravo!

933
00:32:34,914 --> 00:32:36,541
Oh, come on, really!

934
00:32:36,582 --> 00:32:37,875
How long have you been
standing there for?

935
00:32:37,917 --> 00:32:38,334
Oh, long enough.

936
00:32:38,376 --> 00:32:40,128
Mm-hmm.

937
00:32:40,169 --> 00:32:41,295
Dad's helping me with my solo
for this year's dance recital.

938
00:32:41,337 --> 00:32:42,171
I saw.

939
00:32:42,213 --> 00:32:43,840
He's surprisingly graceful.

940
00:32:47,051 --> 00:32:48,344
Find any suspects?

941
00:32:48,386 --> 00:32:50,012
No, but we're chasing down
a new lead.

942
00:32:50,054 --> 00:32:51,431
Really?

943
00:32:51,472 --> 00:32:53,099
Ex-employees with a grudge
against the company.

944
00:32:53,141 --> 00:32:54,976
Revenge, a classic motive.

945
00:33:02,233 --> 00:33:03,317
Here you go.

946
00:33:03,359 --> 00:33:04,902
See you soon.

947
00:33:05,486 --> 00:33:07,155
Okay, we have a problem.

948
00:33:07,196 --> 00:33:09,449
The head of the board
is starting to get suspicious,

949
00:33:09,490 --> 00:33:11,325
which means we have a lot
less time than we thought.

950
00:33:11,367 --> 00:33:12,452
I need you to work late tonight.

951
00:33:12,493 --> 00:33:13,411
Ooh, yeah,
no can't do.

952
00:33:13,453 --> 00:33:14,412
What do you mean?

953
00:33:14,454 --> 00:33:15,663
Do you not know how this works?

954
00:33:15,705 --> 00:33:17,081
You give me a cookie,
I give you an oven.

955
00:33:17,123 --> 00:33:18,207
Listen Santa,

956
00:33:18,249 --> 00:33:19,709
this little elf has plans
tonight.

957
00:33:19,751 --> 00:33:21,919
What could possibly be
more important than this?

958
00:33:21,961 --> 00:33:23,379
Our Christmas party!

959
00:33:23,421 --> 00:33:25,256
All of our friends
get dressed up and come over.

960
00:33:25,298 --> 00:33:27,633
Don't you have
any big holidays plans, huh?

961
00:33:27,675 --> 00:33:29,635
Uh, no.

962
00:33:31,304 --> 00:33:32,764
Oh, what?

963
00:33:32,805 --> 00:33:33,306
Oh, no.

964
00:33:33,347 --> 00:33:35,099
Oh, guys.

965
00:33:35,141 --> 00:33:37,310
I know what you're thinking,
"She's all alone on Christmas".

966
00:33:37,351 --> 00:33:38,770
But seriously, it's fine.

967
00:33:38,811 --> 00:33:39,395
I'm fine.

968
00:33:39,437 --> 00:33:41,064
Don't I look fine?

[Grunts]

970
00:33:45,443 --> 00:33:46,736
Would you like to come
to our house

971
00:33:46,778 --> 00:33:48,362
for a Christmas party tonight?

972
00:33:48,404 --> 00:33:49,614
Thank you.

973
00:33:49,655 --> 00:33:50,823
But I-- I actually,

974
00:33:50,865 --> 00:33:53,242
I do have some work
that I need to do.

975
00:33:53,284 --> 00:33:54,368
So, tomorrow.

976
00:33:54,410 --> 00:33:55,620
Cookies.

977
00:33:56,829 --> 00:33:57,914

Yeah, there's another pie
in the back of the fridge,

I'll grab it right now.

Excuse me, guys.

00:34:49,340 --> 00:34:51,926
Merry Christmas.

00:34:51,968 --> 00:34:52,885
Hi.

Hi.

Ah, come on, come in.

This is for you.

Oh, thank you.

You uh, you came.

994
00:35:07,567 --> 00:35:09,277
I was craving a little company.

995
00:35:09,318 --> 00:35:10,903
I hope that's okay.

996
00:35:12,029 --> 00:35:12,447
Yeah.

Of course.

999
00:35:14,031 --> 00:35:14,866
Let me get your jacket.

Wow, you look um...

1001
00:35:22,415 --> 00:35:25,376
I look very out of place.

1002
00:35:25,418 --> 00:35:27,045

everyone got dressed up.

1003

Yeah.

1004
00:35:27,670 --> 00:35:28,671
Yeah, uh we do.

1005
00:35:28,713 --> 00:35:30,339
It's Nutcracker themed.

Well um, goodbye.

Who made this masterpiece
right here?

Dad calls him “Ralph”,

Rudolph's less famous
older brother.

Oh, poor little Ralph.

Well, he didn't need to be
hiding way down there.

Is this your mom?

00:36:12,799 --> 00:36:15,093
She's absolutely beautiful.

Everyone says I look
just like her.

Well, they're right.

Is that you tucked in there
all snug?

00:36:25,895 --> 00:36:26,896
Yeah.

my first Cooper's Light Up.

Mom took me every year,

1038

Thank you.

Guess you shouldn't have
invited the big bad executive

Don't worry,

00:38:47,245 --> 00:38:48,204
I am.

1095
00:38:48,246 --> 00:38:49,330
I'm very fancy.

1096
00:38:50,706 --> 00:38:54,627
Um, when I was 18,

1097
00:38:54,669 --> 00:38:58,089
my parents both died
in a car accident.

1098
00:38:58,131 --> 00:38:59,590
So, I didn't really feel like

1099
00:38:59,632 --> 00:39:01,384
getting behind the wheel
after that.

1100
00:39:03,094 --> 00:39:03,886
Sorry.

1101
00:39:03,928 --> 00:39:06,556
It was a long time ago.

1102
00:39:06,597 --> 00:39:07,598
What about you?

1103
00:39:07,640 --> 00:39:08,766
[Sam chuckles]

1104
00:39:08,808 --> 00:39:10,017
Do you have
any romantic prospects?

1105
00:39:10,059 --> 00:39:11,394
Mmm, nope.

1106
00:39:11,436 --> 00:39:13,563
I don't do that sort of thing.

1107
00:39:13,604 --> 00:39:14,313
[Chuckles]

1108
00:39:14,355 --> 00:39:15,189
What sort of thing?

1109
00:39:15,231 --> 00:39:16,107
You don't date?

1110
00:39:16,149 --> 00:39:17,900
I uh-- not in a--

1111
00:39:17,942 --> 00:39:19,444
Not in a very long time.

1112
00:39:19,485 --> 00:39:21,195
Well, my grandma used to say,

1113
00:39:21,237 --> 00:39:25,283
"A life baked with love,
tastes ever so sweet."

1114
00:39:25,324 --> 00:39:27,076
Well, I hate to break it
to your grandma.

1115
00:39:27,118 --> 00:39:28,286
[Both chuckle]

1116
00:39:28,327 --> 00:39:29,704
I think this loaf has gotten
pretty stale.

1117
00:39:29,746 --> 00:39:31,080
[Chuckles]

1118
00:39:31,122 --> 00:39:31,664
I don't know.

1119
00:39:31,706 --> 00:39:32,915
I mean sourdough,

1120
00:39:32,957 --> 00:39:34,417
while it is dry
and crusty on the outside--

1121
00:39:34,459 --> 00:39:35,084
Hey.

1122
00:39:35,126 --> 00:39:36,586
The inside...

1123
00:39:36,627 --> 00:39:37,587
it just, you don't know.

1124
00:39:37,628 --> 00:39:38,296
You don't know.

1125
00:39:38,337 --> 00:39:39,380
[Chuckles]

1126
00:39:41,174 --> 00:39:42,508
There's Arthur.

1127
00:39:43,509 --> 00:39:46,137
Um.

1128
00:39:46,179 --> 00:39:49,057
So, um, tomorrow?

1129
00:39:49,098 --> 00:39:49,557
Cookies?

1130
00:39:49,599 --> 00:39:50,433
SAM:
Yes.

1131
00:39:50,475 --> 00:39:51,934
Tomorrow, cookies.

1132
00:39:51,976 --> 00:39:53,478
We're gonna figure out
that recipe.

1133
00:39:55,563 --> 00:39:56,272
Thank you.

1134
00:39:56,314 --> 00:39:57,273
Mm-hmm.

1135
00:39:57,315 --> 00:39:57,940
And thank you for this.

1136
00:39:57,982 --> 00:39:59,817
You're very welcome.

1137
00:40:02,236 --> 00:40:03,321
Goodnight.

1138
00:40:03,362 --> 00:40:04,947
Have a good night.

1139
00:40:09,160 --> 00:40:11,537
I trust you had a nice evening,
Miss Annie?

1140
00:40:11,579 --> 00:40:13,414
ANNIE:
A very nice evening indeed.

1141
00:40:21,339 --> 00:40:23,466
No, no, you listen to me.

1142
00:40:23,508 --> 00:40:25,927
I can't afford any more excuses.

1143
00:40:25,968 --> 00:40:27,804
No,
I told Gino I'd bring you in,

1144
00:40:27,845 --> 00:40:30,056
but after what happened
at Cooper's,

1145
00:40:30,098 --> 00:40:31,682
I'm starting to reconsider.

1146
00:40:31,724 --> 00:40:33,226
Frank?

1147
00:40:33,851 --> 00:40:34,852
I gotta go.

1148
00:40:36,270 --> 00:40:37,814
Everything okay?

1149
00:40:37,855 --> 00:40:38,689
Yeah, yeah.

1150
00:40:38,731 --> 00:40:41,025
Just uh, trouble at work.

1151
00:40:44,195 --> 00:40:47,448
Hey uh, great party by the way,
huh.

1152
00:40:58,501 --> 00:41:00,920
But if you compare the reports
from last year,

1153
00:41:00,962 --> 00:41:02,797
we have turned a corner
for the better.

1154
00:41:02,839 --> 00:41:05,800
Those reports don't reflect
a decline in public perception.

1155
00:41:05,842 --> 00:41:07,969
You mean local perception,
not national.

1156
00:41:08,010 --> 00:41:09,429
Look, Annie was right.

1157
00:41:09,470 --> 00:41:11,139
We can no longer prioritize
the citizens of Maplewood

1158
00:41:11,180 --> 00:41:12,432
over our bottom line.

1159
00:41:12,473 --> 00:41:14,058
BOARD MEMBER 1:
What are you talking about?

1160
00:41:14,100 --> 00:41:15,268
BOARD MEMBER 2:
City council would never go
with it.

1161
00:41:15,309 --> 00:41:18,271
[board members arguing]

1162
00:41:19,689 --> 00:41:22,567
GRANDMA:
After all, it's not Christmas
without Cooper's.

1163
00:41:22,608 --> 00:41:23,317
BOARD MEMBER 3:
No, no.

1164
00:41:23,359 --> 00:41:24,485
That's enough!

1165
00:41:24,527 --> 00:41:25,486
We've been over this

1166
00:41:25,528 --> 00:41:27,321
and it's not getting us
anywhere.

1167
00:41:27,363 --> 00:41:29,532
Annie, do you have
any other items to address?

1168
00:41:31,701 --> 00:41:34,328
Annie?

1169
00:41:34,370 --> 00:41:35,288
Annie?

1170
00:41:35,329 --> 00:41:35,955
What?

1171
00:41:35,997 --> 00:41:37,540
Yes, I'm listening.

1172
00:41:37,582 --> 00:41:39,542
Was there anything else
you wish to discuss

1173
00:41:39,584 --> 00:41:41,085
or may we adjourn?

1174
00:41:46,507 --> 00:41:48,134
I would like to propose
that we reinstate

1175
00:41:48,176 --> 00:41:50,678
the Cooper Christmas Tree
Light Up.

1176
00:41:50,720 --> 00:41:53,097
But you were the one
who requested that we cancel.

1177
00:41:53,139 --> 00:41:53,890
ANNIE:
Yes.

1178
00:41:53,931 --> 00:41:55,016
But that was before--

1179
00:41:55,058 --> 00:41:56,893
"Marketing aimed
at a few thousand locals

1180
00:41:56,934 --> 00:42:00,521
is an irresponsible waste
of finances."

1181
00:42:00,563 --> 00:42:01,981
Sound familiar?

1182
00:42:02,023 --> 00:42:02,732
I said that.

1183
00:42:02,774 --> 00:42:04,233
Very good memory.

1184
00:42:04,275 --> 00:42:08,196
But what if we think of a way
to make it responsible.

1185
00:42:08,237 --> 00:42:09,530
But how do you plan
on doing that?

1186
00:42:09,572 --> 00:42:11,949
What if we look at it
as a marketing opportunity

1187
00:42:11,991 --> 00:42:13,910
rather than an expense.

1188
00:42:13,951 --> 00:42:15,661
The brand will be
on full display.

1189
00:42:15,703 --> 00:42:18,664
Smiling kids, happy parents,
holiday joy at every bite.

1190
00:42:18,706 --> 00:42:22,043
It's not Christmas
without Cooper's, right?

1191
00:42:22,085 --> 00:42:23,878
So, let's capture
what that means

1192
00:42:23,920 --> 00:42:26,714
and share it with the world.

1193
00:42:26,756 --> 00:42:28,216
We're listening.

1194
00:42:32,553 --> 00:42:33,554
Here you go.

1195
00:42:33,596 --> 00:42:34,931
Enjoy it.

1196
00:42:34,972 --> 00:42:36,474
Okay, we need to get
to work right away

1197
00:42:36,516 --> 00:42:37,892
if we're gonna have everything
ready in a week.

1198
00:42:37,934 --> 00:42:39,143
I'll talk to accounting today.

1199
00:42:39,185 --> 00:42:40,019
ANNIE:
We need to make sure
the town knows

1200
00:42:40,061 --> 00:42:41,062
that it's back on.

1201
00:42:41,104 --> 00:42:42,021
And I'm all over it.

1202
00:42:42,063 --> 00:42:43,439
About time,

1203
00:42:43,481 --> 00:42:45,108
you were supposed to be here
an hour ago.

1204
00:42:45,149 --> 00:42:46,943
Yes, I'm sorry,
our meeting ran late.

1205
00:42:46,984 --> 00:42:48,903
Um, hey, is Sam here?

1206
00:42:48,945 --> 00:42:50,571
No, hon, he stepped out.

1207
00:42:50,613 --> 00:42:52,990
But he's asked me
to pull four batches of cookies

1208
00:42:53,032 --> 00:42:54,409
out of the oven
when the timer goes off.

1209
00:42:54,450 --> 00:42:55,868
Did you happen to take a look

1210
00:42:55,910 --> 00:42:57,078
at that list of employees
we left you?

1211
00:42:57,120 --> 00:42:58,162
No, I didn't.

1212
00:42:58,204 --> 00:42:59,163
Something important came up.

1213
00:42:59,205 --> 00:43:01,499
Something important...

1214
00:43:01,541 --> 00:43:02,708
She knows that Christmas
in in 10 days, right?

1215
00:43:02,750 --> 00:43:04,419
Yeah.

1216
00:43:04,460 --> 00:43:05,670
10 days before this whole thing
blows up in our faces.

1217
00:43:05,712 --> 00:43:07,922
-I will get on it right away.
-Oh, no need.

1218
00:43:07,964 --> 00:43:09,298
I think
we already found our guy.

1219
00:43:09,340 --> 00:43:10,925
Greg Helmer, 35 years old.

1220
00:43:10,967 --> 00:43:12,510
An executive assistant
at Cooper's,

1221
00:43:12,552 --> 00:43:14,929
Greg was in the perfect position
to discover grandma's code.

1222
00:43:14,971 --> 00:43:17,265
And then, three months ago,
he was unexpectedly terminated.

1223
00:43:17,306 --> 00:43:18,808
For what you might ask?

1224
00:43:18,850 --> 00:43:20,101
-Theft of--
-Theft of property,

1225
00:43:20,143 --> 00:43:21,936
says it right here.

1226
00:43:21,978 --> 00:43:23,396
You put that in file. That--

1227
00:43:23,438 --> 00:43:24,939
-That's right.
-That's great.

1228
00:43:24,981 --> 00:43:26,524
Okay, this looks promising,

1229
00:43:26,566 --> 00:43:28,609
but how are we gonna
track him down?

1230
00:43:28,651 --> 00:43:31,028
He was tagged in that photo
two days ago.

1231
00:43:31,070 --> 00:43:32,947
He works
at the Christmas Market.

1232
00:43:32,989 --> 00:43:34,282
Now, can we get the cops
involved?

1233
00:43:34,323 --> 00:43:35,950
No. No one can know
about the theft

1234
00:43:35,992 --> 00:43:39,954
until we have the recipe back.
We'll handle this ourselves.

1235
00:43:39,996 --> 00:43:41,414
Like the Mistletoe Mysteries.

1236
00:43:41,456 --> 00:43:44,292
If I have to hear
about that book one more time.

1237
00:43:44,333 --> 00:43:46,377
What on earth
are you people talking about?

1238
00:43:52,884 --> 00:43:54,093
Sugar Plum,
this is Nut Cracker.

1239
00:43:54,135 --> 00:43:55,428
I have eyes on the Mouse King.

1240
00:43:55,470 --> 00:43:57,096
Repeat, I have eyes
on the Mouse King.

1241
00:43:57,138 --> 00:43:58,306
[walkie-talkie beeps]

1242
00:43:58,347 --> 00:44:00,349
Copy that, Nut Cracker.
Target acquired.

1243
00:44:00,391 --> 00:44:02,477
-Waiting for instruction. Over.
-[walkie-talkie beeps]

1244
00:44:02,518 --> 00:44:04,937
-What are you doing?
-It's Bella's idea.

1245
00:44:04,979 --> 00:44:07,815
Oh, she's 11, Calvin!
I mean look at the walkies.

1246
00:44:07,857 --> 00:44:09,400
These are mine.

1247
00:44:09,442 --> 00:44:11,694
Disengage, Sugar Plum.
The adults will handle this.

1248
00:44:13,029 --> 00:44:14,697
Kids never get to have any fun.

1249
00:44:14,739 --> 00:44:15,907
So, what do we do now?

1250
00:44:15,948 --> 00:44:17,241
Do we just go up there,
ask him questions,

1251
00:44:17,283 --> 00:44:18,534
-see what he says?
-No, no.

1252
00:44:18,576 --> 00:44:20,453
He'll recognize both of you
right away.

1253
00:44:20,495 --> 00:44:21,537
But most people don't know

1254
00:44:21,579 --> 00:44:23,122
that Cooper's
even has an IT guy.

1255
00:44:23,164 --> 00:44:26,209
-What are you gonna say to him?
-Don't worry. I have a plan.

1256
00:44:28,378 --> 00:44:31,547
-[whistles]
-Greg, Merry Christmas.

1257
00:44:35,593 --> 00:44:37,720
Two bags of roasted nuts please.

1258
00:44:39,722 --> 00:44:41,599
Are you sure
Nutcracker can handle this?

1259
00:44:41,641 --> 00:44:43,142
-Maybe I should back him up.
-[walkie-talkie beeps]

1260
00:44:43,184 --> 00:44:44,811
Negative, Sugar Plum,
stay where you are.

1261
00:44:44,852 --> 00:44:45,478
[walkie-talkie beeps]

1262
00:44:46,896 --> 00:44:48,314
That'll be five bucks.

1263
00:44:49,690 --> 00:44:51,734
-Can I level with you, Greg?
-How do you know my name?

1264
00:44:51,776 --> 00:44:54,195
I'm not really here
for any roasted nuts.

1265
00:44:54,237 --> 00:44:56,531
All I want is an order
of the cold hard truth.

1266
00:44:56,572 --> 00:44:58,241

what you're talking about.

He doesn't know
what he's talking about.

1268

We know you stole it, Greg.

1269
00:45:02,829 --> 00:45:04,163
Who are you?

1270
00:45:04,205 --> 00:45:06,165
[chuckles]

1271
00:45:06,207 --> 00:45:08,501
Uh, are-- are you a cop?

1272
00:45:08,543 --> 00:45:10,545
The Mouse King
can smell the cheese.

1273
00:45:10,586 --> 00:45:11,963
I repeat, the Mouse King
can smell the cheese.

1274
00:45:12,004 --> 00:45:13,506
Hey, nobody said anything
about cops, okay, Greg?

1275
00:45:13,548 --> 00:45:15,341
Bella, we have got to get you
out of here.

-Calvin, are you okay?

1281

They caught him.
They caught him.

1286
00:45:39,532 --> 00:45:40,908
That wasn't part of the script.

1287
00:45:40,950 --> 00:45:43,161
Nice work, you got him!

1288
00:45:43,202 --> 00:45:44,495
It-- it was just
some office supplies!

1289
00:45:44,537 --> 00:45:45,705
I'll return them, I promise!

1290
00:45:45,747 --> 00:45:47,415
I don't care about the pen
or the stapler,

1291
00:45:47,457 --> 00:45:48,916
-I want the recipe.
-What recipe?

1292
00:45:48,958 --> 00:45:50,043
Don't mess with me, Greg.

1293
00:45:50,084 --> 00:45:51,252
-Annie.
-What?

1294
00:45:51,294 --> 00:45:52,336
You said the person
who stole the recipe

1295
00:45:52,378 --> 00:45:53,713
-was a regular?
-Yes.

1296
00:45:53,755 --> 00:45:55,631
Yeah, I've never served this guy
a cookie in my life.

1301
00:46:08,811 --> 00:46:10,605
I know,
and they're very hot, too.

1302
00:46:10,646 --> 00:46:11,606
Very hot!
-JILLIAN: [speaks indistinctly]

CALVIN:
Can you see any shells?

1304
00:46:12,815 --> 00:46:14,650
Calvin, are you okay?

1305
00:46:14,692 --> 00:46:16,569
He just got some salt
in his eyes.

1306
00:46:16,611 --> 00:46:18,988
-It stings real bad.
-JILLIAN: He'll be okay.

1307

SAM:
I'm guessing this
didn't go according to plan?

1308
00:46:20,239 --> 00:46:21,699
No, it did not.

1309
00:46:21,741 --> 00:46:23,076
Just as long as Bella
wasn't involved.

1310

That was so cool!

1311

are ready?

Alright, here we go.

Alright,
get ‘em over here please.

Mm, no, I didn't actually.

Oh. Well.

[indistinct chatter]

1328
00:46:56,025 --> 00:46:57,276
Okay, so,
which one's the closest?

1329
00:46:57,318 --> 00:46:58,111
-One.
-Three.

Alright, get out of here.

this s'more.

-Appreciate it.

1335
00:47:05,701 --> 00:47:06,536
Okay!

1336
00:47:06,577 --> 00:47:08,037
Back to the drawing board again.

1337
00:47:08,079 --> 00:47:10,998
Bella saw you throwing out
those perfectly good cookies.

1338
00:47:11,040 --> 00:47:12,250
You know, that's the thing.

1339
00:47:12,291 --> 00:47:13,626
They're not perfectly
good though, are they?

1340
00:47:13,668 --> 00:47:16,963
-Go easy on yourself.
-I can't go easy on myself.

1341
00:47:17,004 --> 00:47:18,506
The longer it takes me
to figure out this recipe,

1342

you're gonna accuse.

1344

I'm sorry.
I'm just frustrated, you know?

1345
00:47:25,430 --> 00:47:26,514
I'm not used to baking
like this.

1346
00:47:26,556 --> 00:47:29,976
It's all so mathematical.

1347
00:47:30,017 --> 00:47:33,396
There's no instinct or--
or emotion involved.

1348
00:47:35,356 --> 00:47:37,024
I know I'm missing something.

1349
00:47:38,901 --> 00:47:40,445
It's probably right in front
of my face.

1350
00:47:40,486 --> 00:47:41,654
I just don't know what it is.

1351
00:47:46,242 --> 00:47:48,411
You know,
I think I have an idea.

1352
00:47:52,999 --> 00:47:54,500
Did you ever bake
with your grandmother

1353
00:47:54,542 --> 00:47:57,253
-when you were a kid?
-Yeah, all the time. Why?

1354
00:47:57,295 --> 00:47:58,504
Perfect.

1355
00:47:58,546 --> 00:48:01,007
Okay, I assumed
you meant a good idea,

1356
00:48:01,049 --> 00:48:03,885
not a ridiculous idea.

1357
00:48:03,926 --> 00:48:05,636
[both chuckles]

1358
00:48:05,678 --> 00:48:07,722
Now, I know
this maybe a long shot,

1359
00:48:07,764 --> 00:48:09,515
but there's about
a thousand different ways

1360
00:48:09,557 --> 00:48:10,725
that I can combine
those ingredients.

1361
00:48:10,767 --> 00:48:11,809
Mmhmm.

1362
00:48:11,851 --> 00:48:13,394
I just need somebody
to help guide me.

1363
00:48:13,436 --> 00:48:15,688
And that someone is you.

1364
00:48:15,730 --> 00:48:18,399
But I haven't baked anything
in a really long time.

1365
00:48:18,441 --> 00:48:21,194
Oh. Well, it's a good thing
that you have a great teacher.

1366
00:48:21,235 --> 00:48:22,695
Hmm?

1367
00:48:22,737 --> 00:48:23,362
So, the detective things
clearly isn't working out

1368
00:48:23,404 --> 00:48:24,322
for you now, is it?

00:51:03,398 --> 00:51:04,982
They got carolers.

1432
00:51:05,024 --> 00:51:06,859
There is uh,
all kinds of stuff...

1433
00:51:06,901 --> 00:51:08,486
[indistinct chatter]

1434
00:51:08,528 --> 00:51:10,029
[keys jingling]

1435
00:51:10,071 --> 00:51:18,955
[***]

1436
00:51:27,338 --> 00:51:30,299
I mean that looks like
the closest clue we've gotten.

1437
00:51:30,341 --> 00:51:31,384
Yeah, that's what you think.

1438
00:51:31,426 --> 00:51:33,219
-In the last like hour.
-[Chuckles]

1439
00:51:33,261 --> 00:51:35,012
Someone's waiting for you
in the kitchen.

1440
00:51:37,390 --> 00:51:38,683
Okay.

1441
00:51:38,725 --> 00:51:47,775
[***]

1442
00:51:50,903 --> 00:51:53,698
[dishes clattering]

1443
00:51:53,740 --> 00:51:55,825
I'm glad you're here.

1444
00:51:56,951 --> 00:52:00,580
When you asked
about the light up, I, uh...

1445
00:52:00,621 --> 00:52:02,248
I should've handled that
differently.

1446
00:52:04,792 --> 00:52:08,796
I guess I was just um...
I was just scared, you know?

1447
00:52:09,839 --> 00:52:13,342
When you lose somebody
that you thought

1448
00:52:13,384 --> 00:52:14,761
you'd spend the rest
of your life with,

1449
00:52:14,802 --> 00:52:16,637
you just hold on every--
every memory

1450
00:52:16,679 --> 00:52:18,973
that you shared together.

1451
00:52:20,266 --> 00:52:23,269
Uh, I know
that I hurt your feelings,

1452
00:52:23,311 --> 00:52:24,479
and I'm sorry.

1453
00:52:26,189 --> 00:52:29,776
That was beautiful, buddy.
Of course, I forgive you.

1454
00:52:29,817 --> 00:52:31,110
What are you doing here?

1455
00:52:31,152 --> 00:52:32,653
Oh, yeah, Annie uh,
she called me yesterday.

1456
00:52:32,695 --> 00:52:34,614
Wanted me to install it.

1457
00:52:34,655 --> 00:52:36,949
-To install what?
-Your new oven.

1458
00:52:36,991 --> 00:52:38,868
-New oven.
-[chuckles]

1459
00:52:40,286 --> 00:52:44,499
And she even got you
the extended warrantee.

1460
00:52:45,500 --> 00:52:46,918
[sighs]

1461
00:52:48,002 --> 00:52:50,630
-Well, enjoy the oven, buddy.
-Thanks.

1462
00:52:50,671 --> 00:52:52,548
Uh, Merry Christmas, Frank.

1463
00:52:57,053 --> 00:52:59,889
-Wasn't it wonderful?
-Yeah, yeah. [chuckles]

1464
00:52:59,931 --> 00:53:01,891
What's the matter?

1465
00:53:01,933 --> 00:53:03,976
I just really need to figure out
this recipe, Marge.

1466
00:53:04,018 --> 00:53:05,895
I just don't think
that we're looking

1467
00:53:05,937 --> 00:53:07,647
-at the right motive here.
-Right.

1468
00:53:07,688 --> 00:53:08,689
Uh, maybe whoever stole it

1469
00:53:08,731 --> 00:53:11,484
just really enjoys
eating cookies.

1470
00:53:11,526 --> 00:53:14,320
-JILLIAN: That's everyone.
-CALVIN: Yeah, it's everyone.

1471
00:53:14,362 --> 00:53:15,863
[Jillian sighing]

1472
00:53:15,905 --> 00:53:17,573
CALVIN:
Okay, let's-- let's start again.

1473
00:53:17,615 --> 00:53:18,616
[door chime dings
in background]

1474
00:53:18,658 --> 00:53:19,325
[door squeaks, shuts
in background]

1475
00:53:19,367 --> 00:53:20,368
Where you goin'?

1476
00:53:23,704 --> 00:53:24,539
[door opens in background]

1477
00:53:28,876 --> 00:53:30,586
Yo, Frank!

1478
00:53:30,628 --> 00:53:32,004
[grunts]

1479
00:53:32,046 --> 00:53:33,423
Frank, what are you--
what are you doing?

1480
00:53:33,464 --> 00:53:36,884
[chuckles] I only took one.

1481
00:53:36,926 --> 00:53:38,553
Okay, I took three,
but that's it, I swear.

1482
00:53:38,594 --> 00:53:41,013
Ah, guilty conscience, huh?

1483
00:53:41,055 --> 00:53:43,391
Alright, I need you
to be honest with me.

1484
00:53:43,433 --> 00:53:45,685
What happened at Cooper's
three weeks ago?

1485
00:53:45,727 --> 00:53:46,853
What?

1486
00:53:46,894 --> 00:53:48,896
I heard you on the phone
at my party.

1487
00:53:48,938 --> 00:53:50,732
You said there was a--
a slip up at Cooper's.

1488
00:53:50,773 --> 00:53:52,734
You mentioned somebody
named “Gino”.

1489
00:53:52,775 --> 00:53:55,278
Yeah, look, Gino's my brother,
okay?

1490
00:53:55,319 --> 00:53:56,821
He wanted me to hire his son,
which I did,

1491
00:53:56,863 --> 00:53:59,949
and it was a terrible mistake.

1492
00:53:59,991 --> 00:54:01,200
The kid doesn't even
know righty tighty.

1493
00:54:01,242 --> 00:54:04,704
Almost caused a gas leak
at the factory.

1494
00:54:04,746 --> 00:54:06,539
Look, man, you-- you're
not gonna tell anyone, right?

1495
00:54:06,581 --> 00:54:08,291
Cooper's is my biggest contract.

1496
00:54:08,332 --> 00:54:09,584
I can't lose them.

1497
00:54:09,625 --> 00:54:12,879
No, no, look, your secret
is safe with me, okay?

1498
00:54:12,920 --> 00:54:14,964
I just-- I just wanted
to make sure

1499
00:54:15,006 --> 00:54:18,301
-that you're alright. Huh?
-Thanks, Sam.

1500
00:54:18,342 --> 00:54:20,762
I feel like
we really connected today.

1501
00:54:20,803 --> 00:54:23,306
-Ah, give me a hug!
-Oh, geez! Okay. Wow!

1502
00:54:23,347 --> 00:54:24,098
Merry Christmas.

1503
00:54:24,140 --> 00:54:25,433
-Alright.
-[Sam chuckling]

1504
00:54:25,475 --> 00:54:27,185
-Alright.
-[Sam sighing]

1505
00:54:29,062 --> 00:54:31,105
-Wow.
-Well, well, well!

1506
00:54:31,147 --> 00:54:33,816
Look, who is accusing
innocent people now.

1507
00:54:33,858 --> 00:54:34,734
I deserve that.

1508
00:54:34,776 --> 00:54:35,693
-[chuckles]
-SAM: Yeah.

1509
00:54:37,320 --> 00:54:40,364
You know-- you know about--
about last night um...

1510
00:54:40,406 --> 00:54:42,325
You know-- you know-- you know
when you lose somebody

1511
00:54:42,366 --> 00:54:44,744
you-- you're tryin'
to hold on to, but then--

1512
00:54:44,786 --> 00:54:46,079
the-- that the holding on
was too tight

1513
00:54:46,120 --> 00:54:48,915
that you say stuff
that you have to-- the--

1514
00:54:48,956 --> 00:54:51,292
the hurting of the-- and um--

1515
00:54:51,334 --> 00:54:52,418
Yeah, I said this
to Frank earlier,

1516
00:54:52,460 --> 00:54:53,753
it came out much better.

1517
00:54:53,795 --> 00:54:55,671
-You said it to Frank?
-Mmhmm.

1518
00:54:55,713 --> 00:54:57,924
Yeah, but in all fairness
I did think it was you.

1519
00:54:57,965 --> 00:55:00,259
-[chuckles]
-It wasn't.

1520
00:55:00,301 --> 00:55:02,804
It's okay.
You don't have to say it again.

1521
00:55:02,845 --> 00:55:04,597
It means a lot
that you would chase down

1522
00:55:04,639 --> 00:55:06,724
a possible suspect for me.

1523
00:55:06,766 --> 00:55:08,226
[sighs]

1524
00:55:12,271 --> 00:55:15,691
I-- I hope it's okay.
It's eggnog flavored.

1525
00:55:15,733 --> 00:55:18,027
-Eggnog's my favorite.
-Mine, too.

1526
00:55:18,069 --> 00:55:19,612
[door shuts in background]

1527
00:55:19,654 --> 00:55:20,321
-JILLIAN: Hey!
-Hey!

1528
00:55:20,363 --> 00:55:21,364
CALVIN:
Hi.

1529
00:55:21,406 --> 00:55:23,116
So, Calvin and I
were just thinking--

1530
00:55:23,157 --> 00:55:24,325
Well, I can't take any credit.

1531
00:55:24,367 --> 00:55:25,743
I mean Jillian
mentioned it to me

1532
00:55:25,785 --> 00:55:27,120
and I was like,
“That's so true.”

1533
00:55:27,161 --> 00:55:29,372
She's incredibly smart
and good at her job.

1534
00:55:29,414 --> 00:55:31,249
-If you haven't noticed--
-Oh, Calvin.

1535
00:55:31,290 --> 00:55:33,126
Sorry.

1536
00:55:33,167 --> 00:55:35,545
We were thinking that uh,
it's been two weeks

1537
00:55:35,586 --> 00:55:36,879
since the recipe was stolen

1538
00:55:36,921 --> 00:55:39,048
and we haven't heard a peep
about it.

1539
00:55:39,090 --> 00:55:40,967
That was kind of the plan.

1540
00:55:41,008 --> 00:55:42,301
No, she means from the thief.

1541
00:55:42,343 --> 00:55:44,512
I mean no ransom note,
no blackmail, nothing.

1542
00:55:44,554 --> 00:55:46,514
Wouldn't they wanna benefit
from it somehow?

1543
00:55:46,556 --> 00:55:50,309
I mean maybe they just
wanna hurt Cooper's.

1544
00:55:50,351 --> 00:55:53,146
Uh, Maplewood
didn't exactly celebrate

1545
00:55:53,187 --> 00:55:55,064
when you first showed up.

1546
00:55:55,106 --> 00:55:57,191
Maybe this isn't about Cooper's.

1547
00:55:57,233 --> 00:55:58,776
Maybe it's about hurting you.

1548
00:56:02,697 --> 00:56:11,539
[***]

1549
00:56:17,211 --> 00:56:19,672
ANNIE: [gasps]
So cute, you guys!

1550
00:56:19,714 --> 00:56:20,798
Don't forget to tag us

1551
00:56:20,840 --> 00:56:23,301
using the hash tag
Cooper's Christmas.

1552
00:56:23,342 --> 00:56:24,510
Can I see it?

1553
00:56:24,552 --> 00:56:26,679
Oh, that looks great!
Good job!

1554
00:56:27,722 --> 00:56:30,016
-Hey.
-Hey. [chuckles]

1555
00:56:30,058 --> 00:56:32,894
Congratulations, we did it!

1556
00:56:32,935 --> 00:56:36,355
Okay, so, in a few words,
what does Cooper's mean to you?

1557
00:56:36,397 --> 00:56:37,857
Oh, elves, come this way.

1558
00:56:37,899 --> 00:56:40,193
Okay, let's make sure that
we all have our cameras ready

1559
00:56:40,234 --> 00:56:41,944
to capture those magic
Christmas moments.

1560
00:56:41,986 --> 00:56:43,362
Okay.

1561
00:56:43,404 --> 00:56:45,448
Oh, I can't believe
how great this turned out!

1562
00:56:45,490 --> 00:56:46,657
So great.

1563
00:56:46,699 --> 00:56:48,242
And we're gonna
have enough content

1564
00:56:48,284 --> 00:56:50,787
to fill our marketing campaigns
for the entire year.

1565
00:56:50,828 --> 00:56:51,954
Oh, yeah. [chuckles]

1566
00:56:51,996 --> 00:56:53,539
I just hope
I'm still in charge by then.

1567
00:56:53,581 --> 00:56:55,958
-Annie.
-You're right. You are right.

1568
00:56:56,000 --> 00:56:57,251
You're not gonna talk
about theft,

1569
00:56:57,293 --> 00:56:58,669
not gonna talk
about secret enemies.

1570
00:56:58,711 --> 00:57:00,546
Tonight is a night
for celebrating.

1571
00:57:00,588 --> 00:57:02,090
-Hmm
-Where are Phil and Ned?

1572
00:57:02,131 --> 00:57:05,468
Oh, um, they should be
on stage any minute.

1573
00:57:05,510 --> 00:57:06,886
On stage?

1574
00:57:08,471 --> 00:57:09,764
[laughs]

1575
00:57:11,265 --> 00:57:13,142
-[Jillian cheering]
-ANNIE: Oh, wow!

1576
00:57:13,184 --> 00:57:15,144
[both chuckles]

1577
00:57:15,186 --> 00:57:16,729
ANNIE:
Hi there.

1578
00:57:16,771 --> 00:57:18,064
Annie, guess what?

1579
00:57:18,106 --> 00:57:19,357
I did my whole solo
at rehearsal

1580
00:57:19,399 --> 00:57:20,400
and didn't make
a single mistake.

1581
00:57:20,441 --> 00:57:23,111
No way! It's amazing!

1582
00:57:23,152 --> 00:57:25,154
You're gonna blow the roof
off that place.

1583
00:57:25,196 --> 00:57:26,989
I'll make sure
my dad saves you a seat.

1584
00:57:27,031 --> 00:57:29,158
Hey, Bella, you wanna check out
the lights over there?

1585
00:57:29,200 --> 00:57:30,201
Let's go.

1586
00:57:30,243 --> 00:57:31,869
She invited me a few days ago,

1587
00:57:31,911 --> 00:57:34,247
but I um, I can just tell her
that I-- I can't--

1588
00:57:34,288 --> 00:57:38,167
No, no, no, no. Don't do that.
I want you to go.

1589
00:57:38,209 --> 00:57:40,086
The more friendly faces,
the better, right?

1590
00:57:40,128 --> 00:57:41,504
Okay.

1591
00:57:42,130 --> 00:57:43,631
Well, you two have fun tonight.

1592
00:57:43,673 --> 00:57:47,009
Um, I'm gonna go check
on Santa Claus. [chuckles]

1593
00:57:47,051 --> 00:57:51,305
Hey, um, when was the last time
that you had a Cooper s'more?

1594
00:57:55,476 --> 00:57:56,728
ANNIE:
I remember the first time

1595
00:57:56,769 --> 00:58:00,773
grandma made one of these
for me, it blew my mind.

1596
00:58:00,815 --> 00:58:02,275
[both chuckles]

1597
00:58:02,316 --> 00:58:04,610
Now, the secret is
a perfectly-toasted marshmallow.

1598
00:58:04,652 --> 00:58:07,905
It takes patience,
but it's totally worth it.

1599
00:58:07,947 --> 00:58:09,824
Okay, you're one of those.

1600
00:58:09,866 --> 00:58:12,577
Efficiency, productivity,
profit, Sam.

1601
00:58:12,618 --> 00:58:14,120
By the time
you make one of those,

1602
00:58:14,162 --> 00:58:15,496
-I will have eaten two.
-Yeah.

1603
00:58:15,538 --> 00:58:16,789
It's just good business.

1604
00:58:16,831 --> 00:58:18,416
Let's see if it's as good
as you remember.

1605
00:58:20,376 --> 00:58:21,961
-Mm.
-SAM: Huh?

1606
00:58:22,003 --> 00:58:23,838
-Mmhmm.
-[chuckles]

1607
00:58:26,799 --> 00:58:28,468
I wish I had spent
more time with her

1608
00:58:28,509 --> 00:58:30,511
when I had the chance.

1609
00:58:31,596 --> 00:58:33,473
Yeah. Well, no matter what,

1610
00:58:33,514 --> 00:58:35,391
you never feel
like you have enough time.

1611
00:58:38,436 --> 00:58:40,813
After my parent's accident,

1612
00:58:40,855 --> 00:58:43,775
grandma asked if I wanted
to move to Maplewood.

1613
00:58:43,816 --> 00:58:47,111
I could leave New York,
I could start over.

1614
00:58:47,153 --> 00:58:50,990
But I was 18 and you know,
I had a whole life there.

1615
00:58:51,032 --> 00:58:52,325
Maplewood, this was just a place

1616
00:58:52,366 --> 00:58:55,828
that we used to come
on vacation.

1617
00:58:55,870 --> 00:58:57,330
I gave just about anything
just to hear her tell

1618
00:58:57,371 --> 00:58:59,499
one more of her corny jokes.

1619
00:58:59,540 --> 00:59:01,000
[chuckles] They are the best.

1620
00:59:01,042 --> 00:59:02,668
[chuckles]

1621
00:59:02,710 --> 00:59:04,962
How much did Santa pay
for his sleigh?

1622
00:59:05,004 --> 00:59:06,089
How much?

1623
00:59:06,130 --> 00:59:07,423
Well, nothing.
It was on the house.

1624
00:59:07,465 --> 00:59:11,135
[laughs] Thank you for that.

1625
00:59:11,177 --> 00:59:13,971
-Hi.
-TOGETHER: Hey.

1626
00:59:14,013 --> 00:59:15,056
Anytime.

1627
00:59:15,556 --> 00:59:18,267
How do you do it all?

1628
00:59:18,309 --> 00:59:20,853
Ballet, soccer practice,
school projects.

1629
00:59:21,979 --> 00:59:26,192
I just show up, every day,
as much as possible.

1630
00:59:26,234 --> 00:59:27,777
It's not easy.

1631
00:59:27,819 --> 00:59:31,531
I definitely
don't always get it right.

1632
00:59:31,572 --> 00:59:34,033
You're a really great dad, Sam.

1633
00:59:34,075 --> 00:59:35,201
Thank you.

1634
00:59:35,243 --> 00:59:36,869
But you're terrible
at s'mores.

1635
00:59:36,911 --> 00:59:38,287
-Hmm? Oh!
-[laughs]

1636
00:59:38,329 --> 00:59:40,081
[blows air, laughs]

1637
00:59:40,123 --> 00:59:41,332
Here, you wanna try
one of mine?

1638
00:59:41,374 --> 00:59:42,750
I'm gonna have to.

1639
00:59:45,962 --> 00:59:47,004
-Mm.
-[chuckles]

1640
00:59:47,046 --> 00:59:51,467
Mm. Thank you.

1641
00:59:53,094 --> 00:59:56,848
<i>* Ah, ah, ah *</i>

1642
00:59:56,889 --> 00:59:57,974
[indistinct chatter]

1643
00:59:58,015 --> 00:59:59,726
-Hi.
-Hi.

1644
00:59:59,767 --> 01:00:01,310
Uh, I thought
you could use something warm.

1645
01:00:01,352 --> 01:00:04,355
Uh, two candy canes,
extra whipped cream.

1646
01:00:04,397 --> 01:00:06,149
That's exactly how I order it.

1647
01:00:06,190 --> 01:00:07,692
I know. I-- I watch you.

1648
01:00:10,445 --> 01:00:12,905
I mean I-- I-- I--
I pay attention.

1649
01:00:12,947 --> 01:00:14,490
I just...

1650
01:00:15,283 --> 01:00:18,411
Okay, what I really mean is I--
I like-- I-- I like-- I--

1651
01:00:18,453 --> 01:00:20,037
Calvin.

1652
01:00:23,958 --> 01:00:26,085
[chuckles, clears throat]

1653
01:00:26,127 --> 01:00:27,170
Sam, Annie.

1654
01:00:27,211 --> 01:00:27,962
-ANNIE: Hey!
-Hey.

1655
01:00:28,004 --> 01:00:28,963
Hi.

1656
01:00:32,133 --> 01:00:35,053
I didn't know Miriam and Marge
were friends.

1657
01:00:35,094 --> 01:00:37,096
Oh, yeah, yeah.
Miriam comes in every weekend.

1658
01:00:37,138 --> 01:00:38,765
She gets a dozen cookies.

1659
01:00:38,806 --> 01:00:41,684
[laughs]

1660
01:00:43,770 --> 01:00:46,522
-She comes in every weekend?
-Uh-huh.

1661
01:00:46,564 --> 01:00:48,649
Well, I mean she hasn't been
in a couple of weeks,

1662
01:00:48,691 --> 01:00:50,443
now that you mention it.

1663
01:00:50,485 --> 01:00:52,320
Oh, she's not coming.

1664
01:00:52,361 --> 01:00:53,654
She wasn't feeling well
apparently.

1665
01:00:55,531 --> 01:00:57,784
Whoever it was knew exactly
how to get in undetected,

1666
01:00:57,825 --> 01:00:59,327
erase the security footage...

1667
01:00:59,368 --> 01:01:00,453
Annie.

1668
01:01:00,495 --> 01:01:02,330
If you so much as stumble,

1669
01:01:02,371 --> 01:01:03,831
I will not hesitate
to replace you.

1670
01:01:05,541 --> 01:01:07,752
-Annie* Hello? You okay?
-I'm so sorry.

1671
01:01:07,794 --> 01:01:09,462
I forgot
I need to check on something.

1672
01:01:09,504 --> 01:01:11,839
-I'll be right back.
-Uh, okay.

1673
01:01:13,925 --> 01:01:15,635
-[whispers] I need your help.
-But I don't wanna--

1674
01:01:15,676 --> 01:01:18,137
[whispers]
I know who stole the recipe.

1675
01:01:18,179 --> 01:01:19,639
Don't go anywhere.

1676
01:01:19,680 --> 01:01:21,682
Miss. Cooper, what-- what--
what if somebody comes?

1677
01:01:21,724 --> 01:01:22,934
Everybody's watching
the tree lighting,

1678
01:01:22,975 --> 01:01:24,727
-we'll be fine.
-Are you sure it was her?

1679
01:01:24,769 --> 01:01:27,313
Do you know who takes over
as interim CEO if I get fired?

1680
01:01:27,355 --> 01:01:28,856
The head of the board.
Let's be quick.

1681
01:01:28,898 --> 01:01:31,567
I'm really not cut out
for this mystery stuff, okay?

1682
01:01:31,609 --> 01:01:34,237
-Too late.
Oh, come on!

1683
01:01:34,278 --> 01:01:35,738
[grunts] Jeez!

1684
01:01:38,908 --> 01:01:41,411
Hey, look, I-- I--
I don't have a credit card or--

1685
01:01:41,452 --> 01:01:43,788
-or a hair pin or--
-I have the keys!

1686
01:01:43,830 --> 01:01:45,915
Of course you do.
Of course she does.

1687
01:01:48,334 --> 01:01:51,003
ANNIE:
Just be cool.

1688
01:01:51,045 --> 01:01:52,380
-Ow!
-[shushes]

1689
01:01:52,422 --> 01:01:53,673
Okay, it is too dark in here.

1690
01:01:53,715 --> 01:01:55,007
-I'm using my flashlight now.
-No!

1691
01:01:55,049 --> 01:01:56,968
That is how the guys
from Watergate got caught.

1692
01:01:57,009 --> 01:01:58,511
Well, that comparison
is not reassuring.

1693
01:01:58,553 --> 01:02:00,930
-Start with the desk.
-[sighs]

1694
01:02:07,019 --> 01:02:08,521
We're not ransacking the place,

1695
01:02:08,563 --> 01:02:09,897
we're looking
for grandma's recipe!

1696
01:02:09,939 --> 01:02:11,357
I'm not expert in burglary,
okay?

1697
01:02:11,399 --> 01:02:16,070
-Just please be kind.
-Okay. I'm sorry.

1698
01:02:16,112 --> 01:02:16,904
Thank you.

1699
01:02:18,489 --> 01:02:21,367
Now, who is ready
to light this tree?

1700
01:02:21,409 --> 01:02:24,370
[crowd cheers]

1701
01:02:24,412 --> 01:02:26,372
-Where's Annie?
-And Calvin.

1702
01:02:26,414 --> 01:02:28,499
[crowd laughs]

1703
01:02:28,541 --> 01:02:29,667
Dad, they're gonna miss it.

1704
01:02:29,709 --> 01:02:32,170
No, they'll be back.
They'll be back.

1705
01:02:32,211 --> 01:02:35,381
-Uh, maybe you were wrong.
-No! It fits.

1706
01:02:35,423 --> 01:02:37,091
She wanted me gone.

1707
01:02:37,133 --> 01:02:39,844
She had the motive,
she had the means.

1708
01:02:39,886 --> 01:02:42,305
Okay, Maplewood,
you know what to do.

1709
01:02:42,346 --> 01:02:44,265
Ten second countdown on my mark.

1710
01:02:44,307 --> 01:02:46,100
Oh, this is so exciting.
[chuckles]

1711
01:02:46,142 --> 01:02:50,271
ALL: [together]
Ten, nine, eight, seven...

1712
01:02:50,313 --> 01:02:54,734
Miriam stole grandma's recipe
and we are going to prove it.

1713
01:02:54,776 --> 01:02:56,069
ALL: [together]
One!

1714
01:02:56,110 --> 01:02:57,904
[crowd cheers]

1715
01:02:57,945 --> 01:02:59,280
Is that so?

1716
01:03:10,374 --> 01:03:13,336
And what makes you so sure
I'm guilty of this crime

1717
01:03:13,378 --> 01:03:14,879
you tried to cover up?

1718
01:03:14,921 --> 01:03:16,339
You weren't
at the Christmas party

1719
01:03:16,381 --> 01:03:19,133
-the night it was stolen.
-Oh, I was ill.

1720
01:03:19,175 --> 01:03:21,052
You can call my doctor
if you like.

1721
01:03:21,094 --> 01:03:23,137
You're a regular
at Bella's Bakery.

1722
01:03:23,179 --> 01:03:25,014
Well, I don't see
how that's relevant,

1723
01:03:25,056 --> 01:03:27,642
but yes, their cookies
are excellent.

1724
01:03:27,683 --> 01:03:29,769
They're so good. Sorry.

1725
01:03:30,978 --> 01:03:32,730
And you never wanted me
to run Cooper's

1726
01:03:32,772 --> 01:03:34,565
in the first place.

1727
01:03:34,607 --> 01:03:37,735
That, I'm afraid, is true.

1728
01:03:37,777 --> 01:03:40,613
I told Rose I didn't think
you were the right fit.

1729
01:03:40,655 --> 01:03:42,573
I was afraid
you would change this company

1730
01:03:42,615 --> 01:03:44,784
beyond recognition.

1731
01:03:45,952 --> 01:03:48,579
But she believed
you were the perfect person

1732
01:03:48,621 --> 01:03:50,123
for the job.

1733
01:03:50,164 --> 01:03:53,918
And for a moment there,
so did I.

1734
01:03:58,256 --> 01:04:00,425
But I was wrong.

1735
01:04:02,677 --> 01:04:04,387
I am placing you
on administrative leave,

1736
01:04:04,429 --> 01:04:06,264
effective immediately.

1737
01:04:07,098 --> 01:04:09,308
The board will decide
what happens next.

1738
01:04:16,774 --> 01:04:18,818
CALVIN:
Miss Cooper, I'm-- I'm so sorry.

1739
01:04:24,240 --> 01:04:25,825
Okay, got one.

1740
01:04:25,867 --> 01:04:27,910
-Yeah? What'd you pick?
-Jingle All the Way.

1741
01:04:27,952 --> 01:04:30,580
Oh, nice.
A Schwarzenegger classic.

1742
01:04:30,621 --> 01:04:31,664
[both chuckles]

1743
01:04:31,706 --> 01:04:33,499
-[doorbell rings]
-Uh.

1744
01:04:33,541 --> 01:04:35,918
Oh, who's that?

1745
01:04:39,172 --> 01:04:40,506
[door squeaks]

1746
01:04:41,966 --> 01:04:46,012
SAM:
Hey, uh, we looked for you
after the light up.

1747
01:04:46,054 --> 01:04:47,472
Come in.

1748
01:04:51,559 --> 01:04:52,018
[door squeaks]

1749
01:04:54,270 --> 01:04:57,148
I don't know
what's wrong with me.

1750
01:04:57,190 --> 01:04:59,817
All I've done since I got here
was just make one mistake

1751
01:04:59,859 --> 01:05:01,778
after another.

1752
01:05:01,819 --> 01:05:03,446
Yeah, pretty much.

1753
01:05:05,406 --> 01:05:08,576
I'm just kidding. Come on.

1754
01:05:08,618 --> 01:05:09,827
Your heart was
in the right place.

1755
01:05:09,869 --> 01:05:12,455
You just tried
to save the company.

1756
01:05:12,497 --> 01:05:13,706
The board has to see that.

1757
01:05:13,748 --> 01:05:15,166
The board will meet tomorrow,

1758
01:05:15,208 --> 01:05:18,002
and they will fire me, Sam,
and that is that.

1759
01:05:19,879 --> 01:05:22,256
Alright. [grunts]

1760
01:05:26,427 --> 01:05:28,721
-What are you doing?
-Oh, we're baking cookies.

1761
01:05:28,763 --> 01:05:30,306
Sam, we've tried
every variation.

1762
01:05:30,348 --> 01:05:31,849
-It's not--
-No, no, this is for fun.

1763
01:05:31,891 --> 01:05:33,226
Come on, whatever you want.

1764
01:05:33,851 --> 01:05:35,978
It's late!

1765
01:05:36,020 --> 01:05:38,481
Trust me, this is gonna
put a smile on your face.

1766
01:05:38,523 --> 01:05:40,566

Mm, technically you're a cake,

It's not that I don't--

...And as a result of her
action,

to everyone here

01:09:51,109 --> 01:09:52,777
what must be done.

you'd like to say

1850
01:10:00,827 --> 01:10:02,620
before we vote?

1851
01:10:04,789 --> 01:10:08,167
I didn't understand
what Cooper's really was...

what it meant to people.

1853
01:10:12,588 --> 01:10:14,632
Or if I did,
I didn't care as long

1854
01:10:14,674 --> 01:10:17,385
as I was protecting
grandma's legacy

1855
01:10:17,427 --> 01:10:22,306
or what I thought
was her legacy.

1856

The business, the money?

1857
01:10:25,643 --> 01:10:28,271
She didn't care
about any of that, not really.

1858
01:10:29,814 --> 01:10:35,194
She wanted to bring joy
and happiness to people.

1859
01:10:35,236 --> 01:10:39,323
To make people laugh,
and smile.

1860
01:10:39,365 --> 01:10:41,701
She never baked cookies
for herself.

She baked them for all of us.

I had realized this sooner.

I'd look after you, too.

01:12:59,130 --> 01:13:01,174

that Christmas was about love

1902
01:13:01,215 --> 01:13:02,592
and joy for everyone.

1903
01:13:05,178 --> 01:13:07,764
She did say that, didn't she?

1904
01:13:07,805 --> 01:13:11,392
So, then she meant it
for you too, right?

1914
01:13:51,182 --> 01:13:52,767
Well, now, I think

1915
01:13:52,809 --> 01:13:55,144
I preferred
the financial reports

1916
01:13:55,186 --> 01:13:56,896
to that kind of talk.

1917
01:13:58,689 --> 01:14:01,651
I was supposed to come here
and save Cooper's,

1918
01:14:01,692 --> 01:14:05,113
and instead,
left it in ashes.

1919
01:14:05,988 --> 01:14:07,990
I just hope the cops can do
what I couldn't

1920
01:14:08,032 --> 01:14:11,744
and just find
whoever stole grandma's recipe.

1921
01:14:11,786 --> 01:14:15,248
I highly doubt they will.
I didn't leave any clues.

1922

Will we see you
at the Christmas party tonight?

1926
01:14:24,799 --> 01:14:27,677
Oh, I don't think so, my dear.

1927
01:14:27,719 --> 01:14:30,513
It was a shame not to cash in
on my punch card,

1928

01:14:45,945 --> 01:14:47,989
Let me explain.

1935
01:14:48,030 --> 01:14:49,282
Do you know
how proud your grandmother

1936
01:14:49,323 --> 01:14:51,033
was of you, hmm?

1937
01:14:51,075 --> 01:14:54,871
I mean she told me
about every promotion,

1938
01:14:54,912 --> 01:14:58,207
she showed me every article
that mentioned your work.

1939
01:14:58,249 --> 01:15:01,377
She had every faith
that you could lead Cooper's

1940
01:15:01,419 --> 01:15:03,629
into the future.

1941
01:15:03,671 --> 01:15:05,423
So long as the heart
of the company wasn't lost

1942
01:15:05,465 --> 01:15:06,841
along the way.

1943
01:15:08,092 --> 01:15:11,304
So, she asked you
to steal her recipe?

1944
01:15:11,345 --> 01:15:12,805
[chuckles]

1945
01:15:12,847 --> 01:15:15,892
Rose did have
a mischievous side.

1946
01:15:15,933 --> 01:15:19,896
And she thought that Sam Hobbs,
being a very talented man,

1947
01:15:19,937 --> 01:15:23,483
and a bit of a snob
when it comes to Maplewood,

1948
01:15:23,524 --> 01:15:25,526
might be able to show you

1949
01:15:25,568 --> 01:15:28,988
how much Cooper's means
to this town.

1950
01:15:29,781 --> 01:15:31,616
Of course, the ingredients
are all listed on the box,

1951
01:15:31,657 --> 01:15:33,743
but it would take
a highly-skilled baker

1952
01:15:33,785 --> 01:15:35,244
to figure out
the right combination.

1953
01:15:35,286 --> 01:15:36,454
[chuckles]

1954
01:15:36,496 --> 01:15:38,581
I cannot believe
she actually thought

1955
01:15:38,623 --> 01:15:39,832
that would work.

1956
01:15:39,874 --> 01:15:41,918
Well, I admit
that she did underestimate

1957
01:15:41,959 --> 01:15:44,420
how much you'd focus
on catching the thief--

1958
01:15:44,462 --> 01:15:45,421
[chuckles]

1959
01:15:45,463 --> 01:15:46,672
Over figuring out the recipe.

1960
01:15:46,714 --> 01:15:48,299
[Annie chuckles]

1961
01:15:49,717 --> 01:15:51,511
And I spoke with the board

1962
01:15:51,552 --> 01:15:54,222
and I explained
the whole situation.

1963
01:15:54,263 --> 01:15:57,725
-Did they listen to you?
-I should hope so.

1964
01:15:57,767 --> 01:16:01,020
I am one of the largest
shareholders after all.

1965
01:16:01,062 --> 01:16:02,438
Rose was quite generous,
you know?

1966
01:16:02,480 --> 01:16:04,565
[chuckles]

1967
01:16:04,607 --> 01:16:08,194
But I do very much enjoy
driving my car.

1968
01:16:08,236 --> 01:16:12,949
You do know that you two
are absolutely crazy, right?

1969
01:16:12,990 --> 01:16:15,660
Yeah. Um, Miriam said
exactly the same thing.

1970
01:16:15,701 --> 01:16:18,454
-Arthur.
-Miriam.

1971
01:16:18,496 --> 01:16:21,624
-Here it is.
-Thank you.

1972
01:16:21,666 --> 01:16:22,959
I think I'll need some time

1973
01:16:23,000 --> 01:16:24,544
before I forgive Rose
for this one.

1974
01:16:24,585 --> 01:16:26,254
It's her last big joke.

1975
01:16:26,295 --> 01:16:28,381
[laughs]

1976
01:16:28,423 --> 01:16:29,966
Look, I know
I cannot run Cooper's

1977
01:16:30,007 --> 01:16:32,051
like I ran other companies.

1978
01:16:32,093 --> 01:16:36,055
I-- I see that now,
but we do need to evolve.

1979
01:16:36,097 --> 01:16:36,973
It's true.

1980
01:16:37,014 --> 01:16:38,516
But we need to evolve in a way

1981
01:16:38,558 --> 01:16:41,519
that my grandma
would have wanted.

1982
01:16:41,561 --> 01:16:42,937
And I'm gonna need your help.

1983
01:16:44,313 --> 01:16:45,732
I didn't always appreciate

1984
01:16:45,773 --> 01:16:47,400
your grandmother's sense
of humor.

1985
01:16:47,442 --> 01:16:48,693
[laughs]

1986
01:16:48,735 --> 01:16:50,862
But I always trusted her.

1987
01:16:50,903 --> 01:16:53,156
I just wish
I'd trusted her about you.

1988
01:16:54,866 --> 01:16:57,034
I look forward
to working with you, Annie.

1989
01:16:58,578 --> 01:17:01,205
-I hate to interrupt--
-[chuckles]

1990
01:17:01,247 --> 01:17:03,624
but I believe
there's a dance recital

1991
01:17:03,666 --> 01:17:05,543
at the school this evening,
Miss Annie,

1992
01:17:05,585 --> 01:17:07,045
and it would be a shame
to miss it.

1993
01:17:08,713 --> 01:17:10,173
-Merry Christmas.
-[both chuckles]

1994
01:17:10,214 --> 01:17:12,216
-TOGETHER: Merry Christmas.
-[chuckles]

1995
01:17:14,677 --> 01:17:16,721
And Merry Christmas, Rose.

1996
01:17:19,390 --> 01:17:21,934
[Arthur chuckles]

1997
01:17:21,976 --> 01:17:25,396
-Can I take you somewhere?
-That would be lovely.

1998

[audience applauds, cheers]

2000
01:17:48,628 --> 01:17:50,463
It's time. You're on next.

2001
01:17:52,215 --> 01:17:53,841
[whispers] Good job.

2002
01:17:53,883 --> 01:17:56,886
[indistinct chatter]

2003
01:17:59,430 --> 01:18:01,891
Bella, you're on.

2004
01:18:04,894 --> 01:18:08,231
-[claps]
-Wooh!

No, no.

[whispers] Bella. You got this.

2009
01:18:32,797 --> 01:18:34,340
No, I don't.

2010
01:18:34,382 --> 01:18:36,759
[whispers] Yes, you do!
It's just like we practiced.

2011
01:18:36,801 --> 01:18:39,762
There's too many people.
I can't do it.

2012
01:18:39,804 --> 01:18:42,056
It's okay. It's okay.

2013
01:18:44,058 --> 01:18:46,102

2014

[grunts]

2015
01:18:49,272 --> 01:18:50,648
What are you doing?

2016
01:18:50,690 --> 01:18:52,942
[whispers]
Something that absolutely
terrifies me.

2017
01:18:52,984 --> 01:18:55,528
And if I can do it, so can you.

2018
01:19:03,244 --> 01:19:05,163
[laughs]

2019
01:19:07,165 --> 01:19:08,458
[whispers]
You got it from here?

2020
01:19:08,499 --> 01:19:09,500
[whispers]
Yeah.

2021
01:19:09,542 --> 01:19:10,752
[whispers]
Okay, fantastic.

2022

Oh, my goodness.
You did so great!

2031
01:20:13,689 --> 01:20:15,525
That was amazing.
I'm so proud of you.

2032
01:20:15,566 --> 01:20:17,902
Did you see, dad? She came!

2033
01:20:17,944 --> 01:20:19,362
I-- I did see that. Yeah.

2034
01:20:19,404 --> 01:20:21,948
-She went out the back.
-Oh, yeah.

2035
01:20:21,989 --> 01:20:24,075
I'm okay, dad. Go!

2036
01:20:24,117 --> 01:20:26,536
Okay. Those are for you.

Annie!

2041
01:20:49,600 --> 01:20:53,604
Sam, I promised Bella
that I would be here,

2042
01:20:53,646 --> 01:20:55,022
and I couldn't let her down.

2043
01:20:55,064 --> 01:20:56,816
But you weren't supposed
to see me,

2044
01:20:56,858 --> 01:20:59,235
-I'm sorry.
-Sorry? Sorry for what?

2045
01:20:59,277 --> 01:21:02,113
For being there for my daughter
when she needed you the most?

2046
01:21:02,155 --> 01:21:04,073
[sighs] You know, I am an idiot.

2047
01:21:04,115 --> 01:21:05,283
I-- I should have
just said “yes”

2048
01:21:05,324 --> 01:21:06,617
when you invited us
to the light up.

2049
01:21:06,659 --> 01:21:09,245
-Sam.
-You know, the-- the-- the

2050
01:21:09,287 --> 01:21:11,914
The truth is--
is I've just been scared

2051
01:21:11,956 --> 01:21:13,332
to let somebody in again.

2052
01:21:13,374 --> 01:21:16,127
I've been-- I've been scared
for a long time.

2053
01:21:16,169 --> 01:21:19,756
And then you come along,
you come crashing into my life.

2054
01:21:19,797 --> 01:21:22,258
-Crashing?
-Yes, crashing.

2055
01:21:22,300 --> 01:21:24,927
-You accused me of a crime.
-I uh, yes, I did do that.

2056
01:21:24,969 --> 01:21:26,179
Yeah, you bribed me
to make cookies.

2057
01:21:26,220 --> 01:21:28,222
I paid you to make cookies.

2058
01:21:28,264 --> 01:21:30,058
Involved my daughter
in a sting operation.

2059
01:21:30,099 --> 01:21:31,476
That one was actually Calvin.

2060
01:21:31,517 --> 01:21:33,352
Yeah, and generally,
you created mayhem and chaos.

2061
01:21:33,394 --> 01:21:36,230
Okay! When you'll list it all
at once.

2062
01:21:36,272 --> 01:21:38,983
Yeah, you know, by all rights,
I should stay away from you.

2063
01:21:39,025 --> 01:21:41,319
I should stay very,
very far away from you.

2064
01:21:44,072 --> 01:21:46,324
But instead, I just
have one question for you.

2065
01:21:47,408 --> 01:21:51,579
Annie Cooper,
can I please hold your hand?

2066

Oh, I wonder what this is.

Oh, here you go.

01:22:52,348 --> 01:22:54,183
I think you're probably sick
of cookies by now, but--

2084
01:22:54,225 --> 01:22:56,352
I never get tired
of grandma's recipe.

2085
01:22:56,394 --> 01:22:57,311
Oh, these ones
aren't grandma's.

2086
01:22:57,353 --> 01:22:58,438
Mm.

2087
01:22:58,479 --> 01:22:59,105

we made with Bella.

Wow!

2089
01:23:00,606 --> 01:23:02,233
But I think these might taste
even better, right?

2090
01:23:02,275 --> 01:23:04,026
I still don't know
what the missing ingredient

2091
01:23:04,068 --> 01:23:05,319
is though.

2092
01:23:07,238 --> 01:23:09,073

01:23:10,408 --> 01:23:11,909
