179
00:06:49,742 --> 00:06:51,327
Really? Um...

180
00:06:51,369 --> 00:06:53,663
[Robbie] Why don't you report
on happier things?

181
00:06:53,704 --> 00:06:55,248
Ooh, ooh!

182
00:06:55,289 --> 00:06:58,084
Now, can you ask me a question?
Like you're interviewing me?

183
00:06:58,126 --> 00:07:01,671
Yeah, um...

184
00:07:01,712 --> 00:07:04,298
who's Santa's best reindeer?

185
00:07:07,427 --> 00:07:08,427
[Lucy] Hey, Skylar.

186
00:07:08,469 --> 00:07:10,805
First moment of down time
all day.

187
00:07:10,847 --> 00:07:12,682
Well, everyone wants
to turn heads

188
00:07:12,723 --> 00:07:13,599
during the holiday parties.

189
00:07:13,641 --> 00:07:15,017
Any lunch plans?

190
00:07:15,059 --> 00:07:16,853
Jack's taking me to lunch.
Third date.

191
00:07:16,894 --> 00:07:18,980
Ooh! Sounds promising.

192
00:07:19,021 --> 00:07:20,356
You should try it sometime.

193
00:07:20,398 --> 00:07:22,400
What, dates?

194
00:07:22,442 --> 00:07:23,985
Tried that
after Cal and I got divorced.

195
00:07:24,026 --> 00:07:24,944
No, thanks.

196
00:07:24,986 --> 00:07:26,779
Okay, the chair.

197
00:07:26,821 --> 00:07:28,489
You can't be serious.

198
00:07:28,531 --> 00:07:29,824
It gets clients to open up.

199
00:07:29,866 --> 00:07:31,117
Let it work its magic for you.

200
00:07:31,159 --> 00:07:32,535
Come on.

201
00:07:32,577 --> 00:07:35,121
[chuckling]

202
00:07:35,163 --> 00:07:38,791
What is so wrong with
going on a date here and there?

203
00:07:38,833 --> 00:07:41,377
I don't have the time.

204
00:07:41,419 --> 00:07:43,629
My days are a treadmill.
I can't step off.

205
00:07:43,671 --> 00:07:46,424
My work, running errands,

206
00:07:46,466 --> 00:07:48,468
making dinner...

207
00:07:48,509 --> 00:07:51,721
If I get a moment to myself
before midnight, I...

208
00:07:51,762 --> 00:07:53,055
I mean, it's a miracle.

209
00:07:53,097 --> 00:07:54,432
And on top of that,

210
00:07:54,473 --> 00:07:57,894
I have to make sure
Christmas is magical for Robbie.

211
00:07:57,935 --> 00:07:59,896
You're like Supermom.

212
00:07:59,937 --> 00:08:01,647
How can I make room
for someone else

213
00:08:01,689 --> 00:08:04,150
when I don't even have
enough energy for myself

214
00:08:04,192 --> 00:08:06,194
at the end of the day.

215
00:08:06,235 --> 00:08:09,530
By trusting someone enough
to help you with all that.

216
00:08:10,865 --> 00:08:14,410
I trusted Cal
when he promised me the moon,

217
00:08:14,452 --> 00:08:16,746
and at the end of the day,
he didn't deliver.

218
00:08:18,581 --> 00:08:20,917
You're telling me
you wouldn't change your tune

219
00:08:20,958 --> 00:08:22,251
if someone new showed up,

220
00:08:22,293 --> 00:08:24,962
maybe someone right?

221
00:08:25,004 --> 00:08:27,548
No time for love-life advice.

222
00:08:27,590 --> 00:08:30,509
I am off to pick up supplies

223
00:08:30,551 --> 00:08:32,428
to make popcorn garlands
with Robbie later.

224
00:08:32,470 --> 00:08:34,263
I can pick up
the garland supplies for you.

225
00:08:34,305 --> 00:08:35,598
No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
I will--

226
00:08:35,640 --> 00:08:37,099
- I will make it work.
- You sure?

227
00:08:37,141 --> 00:08:38,851
Yes, yes. I got it.

228
00:08:38,893 --> 00:08:40,978
[Skylar] Okay.

229
00:08:43,022 --> 00:08:45,399
[♪♪♪]

230
00:08:48,361 --> 00:08:51,572
[♪♪♪]

231
00:08:55,534 --> 00:08:57,203
[Jill] Rough interview today?

232
00:08:57,245 --> 00:08:59,872
Uh... no.

233
00:08:59,914 --> 00:09:01,874
Um...

234
00:09:01,916 --> 00:09:03,668
some smart-aleck kid told me

235
00:09:03,709 --> 00:09:05,503
I make his mom
feel badly about the world.

236
00:09:05,544 --> 00:09:07,296
His mom,

237
00:09:07,338 --> 00:09:08,756
and apparently everyone
at her work,

238
00:09:08,798 --> 00:09:10,883
turns off the news
when I come on.

239
00:09:10,925 --> 00:09:13,678
Facts are cold and hard, Adam.
That is not new.

240
00:09:13,719 --> 00:09:15,638
So what's got you so rattled?

241
00:09:15,680 --> 00:09:18,641
I'm not really sure.

242
00:09:18,683 --> 00:09:21,269
How did you deal
with people tuning you out

243
00:09:21,310 --> 00:09:22,770
when you were on the desk?

244
00:09:22,812 --> 00:09:25,106
Well, that was
a different time, then.

245
00:09:25,147 --> 00:09:27,400
I mean, viewers weren't
as distracted,

246
00:09:27,441 --> 00:09:29,527
and by the time
things did start to change,

247
00:09:29,568 --> 00:09:31,654
I'd already moved into teaching.

248
00:09:31,696 --> 00:09:33,739
But don't people
want to be informed?

249
00:09:33,781 --> 00:09:34,949
Huh.

250
00:09:34,991 --> 00:09:37,368
I feel like
I'm your professor again,

251
00:09:37,410 --> 00:09:39,328
fielding your questions
in a lecture hall,

252
00:09:39,370 --> 00:09:40,705
but listen,

253
00:09:40,746 --> 00:09:42,957
I did not bring you here
to reminisce about the past.

254
00:09:42,999 --> 00:09:44,166
I want to talk
about your future.

255
00:09:44,208 --> 00:09:46,586
So, word on the street...

256
00:09:46,627 --> 00:09:49,547
is Paul Rada is retiring.

257
00:09:49,589 --> 00:09:50,756
From WQM Chicago?

258
00:09:50,798 --> 00:09:52,633
He's a legend!

259
00:09:52,675 --> 00:09:54,010
A legend who's about to create

260
00:09:54,051 --> 00:09:55,553
a job opening
in a top-10 market.

261
00:09:55,595 --> 00:09:57,596
Top three!

262
00:09:57,638 --> 00:09:58,889
I think you have it in you.

263
00:10:00,641 --> 00:10:04,645
National stories,
in-depth reporting...

264
00:10:04,687 --> 00:10:06,564
this is the brass ring
I've always dreamed about.

265
00:10:06,605 --> 00:10:08,149
- Mm-hmm.
- You know,

266
00:10:08,190 --> 00:10:10,443
I met the head of the station
at an event last year.

267
00:10:10,484 --> 00:10:11,944
- Nathan Selig.
- Yes.

268
00:10:11,986 --> 00:10:13,571
I'm gonna do my best
to try and reconnect you.

269
00:10:13,613 --> 00:10:16,115
Now, they're gonna be looking

270
00:10:16,157 --> 00:10:19,201
for someone who is not
just a strong anchor.

271
00:10:19,243 --> 00:10:20,369
They also want somebody

272
00:10:20,411 --> 00:10:21,704
who is going to reflect well
on the city.

273
00:10:23,164 --> 00:10:24,624
[he chuckles]

274
00:10:24,665 --> 00:10:27,543
Well, I can't think of anyone
with a better reflection.

275
00:10:27,585 --> 00:10:30,171
Oh... please.
Easy there, Ted Baxter.

276
00:10:30,212 --> 00:10:31,756
- [he laughs]
- Honestly.

277
00:10:31,797 --> 00:10:33,591
- [chuckling]
- I'm just saying.

278
00:10:38,512 --> 00:10:39,889
It was so cool!

279
00:10:39,930 --> 00:10:41,724
We got to see the set,

280
00:10:41,766 --> 00:10:43,768
and I even sat
in the anchor chair

281
00:10:43,809 --> 00:10:45,644
and talked to Adam Kade.

282
00:10:45,686 --> 00:10:47,772
[gasping]
What did you tell him?

283
00:10:47,813 --> 00:10:50,316
That you turn off the news
when he's on.

284
00:10:52,193 --> 00:10:55,279
Well, if he saw the world
the way you do,

285
00:10:55,321 --> 00:10:57,073
I'd keep it on.

286
00:10:57,114 --> 00:10:59,617
You'd be
the best news anchor in TV.

287
00:11:00,701 --> 00:11:02,036
You think so?

288
00:11:02,078 --> 00:11:04,622
I could really be a news anchor
one day?

289
00:11:04,663 --> 00:11:06,457
I do.

290
00:11:06,499 --> 00:11:09,752
You can teach
Adam Kade a thing or two.

291
00:11:09,794 --> 00:11:11,837
Sometimes...

292
00:11:11,879 --> 00:11:14,090
you just have to believe

293
00:11:14,131 --> 00:11:16,384
it'll all come through
in the end,

294
00:11:16,425 --> 00:11:18,761
even if we don't know
exactly how.

295
00:11:18,803 --> 00:11:21,972
It's called "having faith."

296
00:11:22,014 --> 00:11:23,808
[they chuckle]

297
00:11:23,849 --> 00:11:25,184
[Lucy] Yes. All right.

298
00:11:25,226 --> 00:11:27,019
How about we finish up
these garlands?

299
00:11:27,061 --> 00:11:28,312
[Robbie] Okay.

300
00:11:28,354 --> 00:11:30,481
[Lucy chuckles]

301
00:11:30,523 --> 00:11:31,774
Oh!

302
00:11:31,816 --> 00:11:33,234
[laughing]

303
00:11:34,860 --> 00:11:38,197
[♪♪♪]

304
00:11:55,423 --> 00:11:57,883
[he chuckles]

305
00:11:57,925 --> 00:11:59,385
[Todd] New hobby?

306
00:11:59,427 --> 00:12:01,137
Um... no.

307
00:12:01,178 --> 00:12:02,888
That-that kid
from the field trip

308
00:12:02,930 --> 00:12:04,390
must have left it behind.

309
00:12:04,432 --> 00:12:06,600
"If found, please return
to Robbie Sullivan,

310
00:12:06,642 --> 00:12:07,893
10 Joslin Street.

311
00:12:07,935 --> 00:12:09,019
Reward offered."

312
00:12:09,061 --> 00:12:11,856
The kid with a suit.

313
00:12:11,897 --> 00:12:13,441
Look, why don't you take him
under your wing?

314
00:12:13,482 --> 00:12:15,860
You know,
like as a holiday intern?

315
00:12:15,901 --> 00:12:17,528
What? Why?

316
00:12:17,570 --> 00:12:20,197
[Todd] Because that's
how I got started.

317
00:12:20,239 --> 00:12:22,158
Then why don't you take him on
as your intern?

318
00:12:22,199 --> 00:12:23,743
Nah, you see,
he wants to be an anchor.

319
00:12:23,784 --> 00:12:25,870
Come on, you can make
his dreams come true.

320
00:12:25,911 --> 00:12:26,871
Where's your Christmas heart?

321
00:12:26,912 --> 00:12:28,122
Have I ever told you

322
00:12:28,164 --> 00:12:30,040
that Christmas is my
least favorite holiday?

323
00:12:30,082 --> 00:12:31,375
Uh, yeah, every time
you offer to work

324
00:12:31,417 --> 00:12:32,460
- during said holiday.
- Yeah.

325
00:12:32,501 --> 00:12:34,044
And don't forget, you owe me.

326
00:12:34,086 --> 00:12:36,005
I scored you
tickets to the Eras Tour.

327
00:12:36,046 --> 00:12:37,923
Firstly,
that was a major news event,

328
00:12:37,965 --> 00:12:40,217
so it was in
my professional interest to go,

329
00:12:40,259 --> 00:12:42,011
and secondly,
I took your twins.

330
00:12:42,052 --> 00:12:44,346
I could barely hear Taylor
over their screaming.

331
00:12:44,388 --> 00:12:45,431
Yeah, well,
count yourself lucky.

332
00:12:45,473 --> 00:12:46,474
Why?

333
00:12:46,515 --> 00:12:47,600
They just started
violin lessons.

334
00:12:47,641 --> 00:12:49,769
Ooh.

335
00:12:49,810 --> 00:12:50,895
Hey, look, just-just...

336
00:12:50,936 --> 00:12:53,439
you know, like,
show Robbie the ropes

337
00:12:53,481 --> 00:12:55,524
for a few hours after school
this week...

338
00:12:55,566 --> 00:12:57,109
a little more mensch,
less Grinch.

339
00:12:57,151 --> 00:12:58,986
- Fine.
- Great.

340
00:12:59,028 --> 00:13:00,696
You can deliver the news
in person.

341
00:13:00,738 --> 00:13:02,156
In person?

342
00:13:02,198 --> 00:13:04,450
I'm guessing you don't have
a prior social engagement,

343
00:13:04,492 --> 00:13:06,285
unless you've decided to change
your entire personality.

344
00:13:06,327 --> 00:13:07,703
Mm.

345
00:13:07,745 --> 00:13:08,829
'Tis the season, Adam!

346
00:13:08,871 --> 00:13:11,081
And, hey, I mean,
there's a reward.

347
00:13:11,832 --> 00:13:13,292
- Come on.
- Good man.

348
00:13:13,334 --> 00:13:15,419
[sighing]

349
00:13:15,461 --> 00:13:18,339
[♪♪♪]

350
00:13:31,143 --> 00:13:32,394
[knocking]

351
00:13:35,523 --> 00:13:36,982
- Oh, hi!
- Hi.

352
00:13:38,400 --> 00:13:39,318
Adam Kade?

353
00:13:39,360 --> 00:13:40,486
[he chuckles]

354
00:13:40,528 --> 00:13:41,529
Why are you...

355
00:13:41,570 --> 00:13:43,489
I'm here to collect the reward.

356
00:13:43,531 --> 00:13:45,282
[he chuckles]
You must be Robbie's mom.

357
00:13:45,324 --> 00:13:47,910
Is your very enthusiastic son
home?

358
00:13:47,952 --> 00:13:49,995
I think he might be
looking for this.

359
00:13:50,037 --> 00:13:51,580
Adam Kade is at my house?

360
00:13:51,622 --> 00:13:53,541
Adam Kade
is at my house!

361
00:13:53,582 --> 00:13:56,669
Your very, <i>very</i>
enthusiastic son.

362
00:13:56,710 --> 00:13:58,587
[chuckling] Yes, he is,

363
00:13:58,629 --> 00:14:02,800
and, uh, yes, I am Lucy,
Robbie's mom.

364
00:14:02,841 --> 00:14:05,427
Very nice to meet you,
Lucy, Robbie's mom.

365
00:14:05,469 --> 00:14:07,346
Um, thank you so much for this.

366
00:14:07,388 --> 00:14:10,432
I'm actually also here
to see if Robbie...

367
00:14:10,474 --> 00:14:12,643
wants to follow me around
at work for a week.

368
00:14:12,685 --> 00:14:13,727
What?!

369
00:14:13,769 --> 00:14:15,187
What?

370
00:14:15,229 --> 00:14:16,647
The station wants
to offer Robbie a chance

371
00:14:16,689 --> 00:14:18,190
to see how the newsroom works,

372
00:14:18,232 --> 00:14:20,317
just a few hours after school--

373
00:14:20,359 --> 00:14:22,194
for a week.

374
00:14:22,236 --> 00:14:24,196
Oh, that's-that's
very generous...

375
00:14:24,238 --> 00:14:25,281
[chuckling awkwardly]

376
00:14:25,322 --> 00:14:27,408
...but, um,
I need to think about it.

377
00:14:27,449 --> 00:14:29,785
Your son wants
to be a news anchor.

378
00:14:29,827 --> 00:14:31,996
We're offering him
a peek behind the curtain.

379
00:14:32,037 --> 00:14:33,747
Why the hesitation?

380
00:14:33,789 --> 00:14:36,166
Can you excuse me for a second?

381
00:14:39,420 --> 00:14:42,548
Uh... if you must know,

382
00:14:42,590 --> 00:14:43,716
it is a curtain

383
00:14:43,757 --> 00:14:47,511
that I am unsure
I want him looking behind.

384
00:14:47,553 --> 00:14:49,805
Is this because
watching my reports

385
00:14:49,847 --> 00:14:51,390
make you feel bad
about the world?

386
00:14:51,432 --> 00:14:52,766
He told you that?

387
00:14:54,268 --> 00:14:55,686
Oh! I'm sorry.

388
00:14:55,728 --> 00:14:58,272
The holidays are a time crunch,

389
00:14:58,314 --> 00:15:00,316
and, you know,
I have a lot on my plate.

390
00:15:00,357 --> 00:15:04,320
You're right. This probably
wouldn't have worked out anyway.

391
00:15:04,361 --> 00:15:06,405
All right, well,
it was nice to meet you, Lucy.

392
00:15:06,447 --> 00:15:07,907
You have a nice Christmas.

393
00:15:07,948 --> 00:15:09,325
- You too.
- All right. Thank you.

394
00:15:09,366 --> 00:15:11,744
Wait! Mom, I want to do it!

395
00:15:11,785 --> 00:15:13,871
[sighing] Robbie,

396
00:15:13,913 --> 00:15:16,332
I already have so many holiday
activities planned for us.

397
00:15:16,373 --> 00:15:19,418
Yeah, buddy.
Maybe it's for the best.

398
00:15:19,460 --> 00:15:22,922
You asked me
what I wanted for Christmas.

399
00:15:22,963 --> 00:15:25,049
[sighing]

400
00:15:25,090 --> 00:15:27,051
Okay.

401
00:15:27,092 --> 00:15:28,636
It's beginning
to look a lot

402
00:15:28,677 --> 00:15:30,346
like Christmas with Adam Kade!

403
00:15:30,387 --> 00:15:32,306
Uh, this won't be
all fun and games.

404
00:15:32,348 --> 00:15:33,557
You're there to learn.

405
00:15:33,599 --> 00:15:34,892
So are you.

406
00:15:34,933 --> 00:15:36,644
Excuse me?

407
00:15:36,685 --> 00:15:37,978
My mom said I could

408
00:15:38,020 --> 00:15:40,189
teach you a thing or two
about being a news anchor.

409
00:15:40,230 --> 00:15:41,941
- Robbie!
- Oh, she did, did she?

410
00:15:41,982 --> 00:15:43,525
She might have...

411
00:15:45,527 --> 00:15:47,655
...but we-we don't have
to tell Adam everything I say.

412
00:15:47,696 --> 00:15:49,657
Why? What else did she say?

413
00:15:49,698 --> 00:15:51,450
- She also thinks that--
- [Lucy] Okay!

414
00:15:51,492 --> 00:15:52,910
[Lucy chuckles awkwardly]

415
00:15:52,951 --> 00:15:54,620
Say "thank you" to Adam!

416
00:15:54,662 --> 00:15:55,996
It's time to go.

417
00:15:56,038 --> 00:15:58,499
But what else did she say?

418
00:15:58,540 --> 00:16:00,709
She said,
"Merry Christmas, Mr. Kade."

419
00:16:00,751 --> 00:16:01,585

[♪♪♪]

422
00:16:06,799 --> 00:16:07,633
[Robbie] Hello!

423
00:16:07,675 --> 00:16:08,884
Hi.

424
00:16:08,926 --> 00:16:11,553
I'm Robbie Sullivan,
anchor in training.

425
00:16:11,595 --> 00:16:13,013
Cool Christmas sweater.

426
00:16:13,055 --> 00:16:14,765
Are you always so chipper?

427
00:16:14,807 --> 00:16:15,891
I learned in school

428
00:16:15,933 --> 00:16:17,810
that a smile
is the universal greeting.

429
00:16:17,851 --> 00:16:19,395
Try it.

430
00:16:19,436 --> 00:16:22,022
You told me
that I never smile, so--

431
00:16:22,064 --> 00:16:25,150
so... now I have
a reputation to uphold.

432
00:16:26,568 --> 00:16:27,778
What's in your ear?

433
00:16:27,820 --> 00:16:29,279
That's my earpiece.

434
00:16:29,321 --> 00:16:32,866
That's how the control room
talks to me when I'm on air.

435
00:16:32,908 --> 00:16:35,703
Do they let you know
when you talk for too long?

436
00:16:35,744 --> 00:16:37,329
I never talk for too long,

437
00:16:37,371 --> 00:16:40,916
but if I did, which I don't,

438
00:16:40,958 --> 00:16:43,127
they would tell me
in my earpiece.

439
00:16:43,168 --> 00:16:45,462
- Can I try?
- No.

440
00:16:45,504 --> 00:16:47,256
[Todd]
So, this microphone here,

441
00:16:47,297 --> 00:16:49,133
that connects
to a talkback system

442
00:16:49,174 --> 00:16:50,551
that goes to the I.F.B.,

443
00:16:50,592 --> 00:16:52,845
which is the earpiece
in Adam's ear.

444
00:16:52,886 --> 00:16:55,014
Say something.

445
00:16:55,055 --> 00:16:56,890
How about...

446
00:16:56,932 --> 00:16:59,768

00:17:31,759 --> 00:17:32,843
No.

00:17:34,261 --> 00:17:35,971
No way!

462
00:17:36,013 --> 00:17:38,557
[Adam] Okay, boss man,
focus up.

00:20:23,889 --> 00:20:26,725
[both] Have a Merry Christmas
and good night!

535
00:20:26,767 --> 00:20:29,102
[cheering and applauding]

536
00:20:29,144 --> 00:20:31,146
Great job, Robbie.

537
00:20:31,188 --> 00:20:33,231
- You really are a natural.
- Thanks.

538
00:20:33,273 --> 00:20:35,525
- Can I?
- Yeah, yeah.

539
00:20:35,567 --> 00:20:37,444
[Adam's phone ringing]

540
00:20:39,905 --> 00:20:41,156
[Adam answers call]

541
00:20:42,616 --> 00:20:43,909
How's my favorite student?

542
00:20:43,951 --> 00:20:45,953
[chuckling] Hoping you have
some good news for me.

543
00:20:45,994 --> 00:20:47,204
[Jill] <i>Oh, you're in luck.</i>

544
00:20:47,246 --> 00:20:49,164
I just spoke with Nathan Selig,

545
00:20:49,206 --> 00:20:50,374
<i>the GM in Chicago,</i>

546
00:20:50,415 --> 00:20:52,584
<i>and he's expecting your call.</i>

547
00:20:52,626 --> 00:20:53,835
Thanks for this.

548
00:20:53,877 --> 00:20:57,005
All my years of
dreaming of a job like this

549
00:20:57,047 --> 00:20:58,590
might finally come true.

550
00:20:58,632 --> 00:20:59,967
I'm ready for it.

551
00:21:00,008 --> 00:21:01,551
[Jill] <i>You sound less rattled.</i>

552
00:21:01,593 --> 00:21:04,054
That means the kid must have
gotten out of your head?

553
00:21:04,096 --> 00:21:07,933
[chuckling] Actually,
uh, he's my intern now.

554
00:21:07,975 --> 00:21:09,434
Long story,

555
00:21:09,476 --> 00:21:13,313
but all he wants is to report
on sunshine and rainbows.

556
00:21:13,355 --> 00:21:15,232
All right, well, you know,

557
00:21:15,273 --> 00:21:17,526
we could all use
a little levity these days.

558
00:21:17,567 --> 00:21:18,902
How long is he at the station?

559
00:21:18,944 --> 00:21:20,195
Tomorrow's his last day.

560
00:21:20,237 --> 00:21:22,239
[Jill]
<i>Ooh, you must be relieved.</i>

561
00:21:22,280 --> 00:21:24,324
Uh...

562
00:21:24,366 --> 00:21:25,909
he was just starting
to grow on me.

563
00:21:25,951 --> 00:21:28,287
Who are you,
and where is Adam Kade?

564
00:21:28,328 --> 00:21:29,496
Right. [laughs]

565
00:21:29,538 --> 00:21:30,914
<i>I just texted you</i>
<i>Nathan's contact...</i>

566
00:21:30,956 --> 00:21:32,249
Great.

567
00:21:32,290 --> 00:21:33,834
...but I want you
to call him as soon as you can,

568
00:21:33,875 --> 00:21:36,169
because everybody in America
is going to want this job

569
00:21:36,211 --> 00:21:37,170
as soon as the word gets out.

570
00:21:37,212 --> 00:21:38,797
Thanks for this, Jill.

571
00:21:38,839 --> 00:21:41,925
[Jill] <i>Aw. You earned it.</i>
<i>Good luck.</i>

572
00:21:41,967 --> 00:21:43,635
Bye.

573
00:21:43,677 --> 00:21:45,095
[ending call]

574
00:21:45,137 --> 00:21:46,096
[exhaling]

575
00:21:47,848 --> 00:21:50,600
[phone dialing]

576
00:21:50,642 --> 00:21:53,186
[call ringing]

577
00:21:53,228 --> 00:21:54,813
<i>This is Nathan.</i>
<i>Leave a message.</i>

578
00:21:54,855 --> 00:21:55,731
[beeping]

579
00:21:55,772 --> 00:21:56,857
Nathan, hi.

580
00:21:56,898 --> 00:22:00,110
This is Adam Kade
with KCYD Minneapolis.

581
00:22:00,152 --> 00:22:03,488
A turtle dove told me
you have a job opening.

582
00:22:03,530 --> 00:22:05,240
I would love
to throw my hat in the ring.

583
00:22:05,282 --> 00:22:06,908
Give me a call
when you get a chance.

584
00:22:06,950 --> 00:22:09,494
I'd love to hear
your thoughts.

585
00:22:09,536 --> 00:22:10,787
Thanks.

586
00:22:10,829 --> 00:22:12,622
[ending call]

587
00:22:14,416 --> 00:22:16,793
[Robbie] Hey, Adam!
What are we doing today?

588
00:22:16,835 --> 00:22:20,088
My mom said I have to be done
by 5:00 p.m. sharp.

589
00:22:20,130 --> 00:22:22,340
Okay, well... [chuckling]

590
00:22:22,382 --> 00:22:25,552
today, I'll show you
the assignment desk,

591
00:22:25,594 --> 00:22:27,846
and then we've got a meeting
to discuss the rundown,

592
00:22:27,888 --> 00:22:29,848
where we pick the stories
for that night's broadcast.

593
00:22:29,890 --> 00:22:31,099
Sweet!

594
00:22:31,141 --> 00:22:32,142
[Adam] Speaking of sweet...

595
00:22:33,310 --> 00:22:35,228
Since it's your last day...

596
00:22:35,270 --> 00:22:36,355
let's make it a sweet one.

597
00:22:36,396 --> 00:22:39,149
This is amazing!

598
00:22:39,191 --> 00:22:40,776
[♪♪♪]

599
00:22:45,822 --> 00:22:48,575
[Adam] So, that was your
first editorial meeting.

600
00:22:48,617 --> 00:22:50,327
What'd you think
about the rundown?

601
00:22:50,368 --> 00:22:52,412
None of those stories
were very happy.

602
00:22:52,454 --> 00:22:54,206
Happy?

603
00:22:54,247 --> 00:22:56,541
Unemployment, bad roads...

604
00:22:56,583 --> 00:22:58,376
budget problems
at City Hall?

605
00:22:58,418 --> 00:22:59,795
Those are important stories,

606
00:22:59,836 --> 00:23:02,047
and important stories
aren't always happy ones.

607
00:23:02,089 --> 00:23:04,299
But can't happy stories
be important too?

608
00:23:04,341 --> 00:23:05,884
Well...

609
00:23:05,926 --> 00:23:08,261
Like the charity my mom and I
are volunteering at tomorrow.

610
00:23:08,303 --> 00:23:09,513
It's called Angel Gifts.

611
00:23:09,554 --> 00:23:11,640
They buy presents
for kids in need.

612
00:23:11,681 --> 00:23:13,767
Okay, well,
that sounds very nice,

613
00:23:13,809 --> 00:23:15,977
but I reported
on the story last week.

614
00:23:16,019 --> 00:23:17,979
But you didn't even mention

615
00:23:18,021 --> 00:23:21,233
the people who started it
were the volunteers.

616
00:23:21,274 --> 00:23:23,026
[Adam] That's called
a human-interest story,

617
00:23:23,068 --> 00:23:24,069
and those are small.

618
00:23:24,111 --> 00:23:25,237
[Robbie]
What's wrong with small?

619
00:23:26,488 --> 00:23:28,198
Um...

620
00:23:28,240 --> 00:23:30,200
Hey! There you are.

621
00:23:30,242 --> 00:23:31,785
We've gotta go.
Where's your backpack?

622
00:23:31,827 --> 00:23:32,953
[Robbie] I'll go get it.

623
00:23:34,454 --> 00:23:36,581
[Lucy] Um...

624
00:23:36,623 --> 00:23:39,000
didn't he tell you
he had to be done by 5:00?

625
00:23:41,795 --> 00:23:42,712
Earth to Adam?

626
00:23:42,754 --> 00:23:44,172
[Adam] Oh, I'm sorry.

627
00:23:44,214 --> 00:23:47,008
Um, a staff meeting ran long.

628
00:23:47,050 --> 00:23:52,431
I needed that time to get home,
make dinner, get him to bed.

629
00:23:52,472 --> 00:23:54,266
Right. Sorry.

630
00:23:55,725 --> 00:23:58,436
[Lucy] Okay, Robbie,
time to say goodbye.

631
00:23:58,478 --> 00:24:02,023
It doesn't have to be "goodbye"
for real, does it?

632
00:24:03,567 --> 00:24:06,194
Um, why don't you
stay for a taping?

633
00:24:06,236 --> 00:24:07,696
Robbie can do his homework
in my office

634
00:24:07,737 --> 00:24:09,364
until the show starts,

635
00:24:09,406 --> 00:24:11,324
and we could all have dinner

636
00:24:11,366 --> 00:24:13,243
to celebrate
what a week it's been.

637
00:24:13,285 --> 00:24:14,703
Can we, Mom? Please?

638
00:24:14,744 --> 00:24:17,581
[Adam] It was my fault
that the meeting ran late,

639
00:24:17,622 --> 00:24:20,333
and this way, you don't have
to scramble to make dinner.

640
00:24:20,375 --> 00:24:23,044
I will take you
to the best place in town.

641
00:24:23,086 --> 00:24:24,713
Beautiful views of the city,

642
00:24:24,754 --> 00:24:28,425
and I promise,
Robbie will love it.

643
00:24:28,467 --> 00:24:32,804
Besides, you have never
actually seen a taping yet.

644
00:24:32,846 --> 00:24:35,056
I think you might like it.

645
00:24:35,098 --> 00:24:37,434
Yeah, Mom,
you might even like it.

646
00:24:37,476 --> 00:24:40,812
[Adam laughs] Yeah, Mom!
You might even like it.

647
00:24:42,689 --> 00:24:44,399
[Adam] As temperatures drop,

648
00:24:44,441 --> 00:24:46,443
city officials
grow more concerned

649
00:24:46,484 --> 00:24:49,488
about providing warm clothing
and food security

650
00:24:49,529 --> 00:24:51,490
for the city's underprivileged.

651
00:24:51,531 --> 00:24:54,242
Mayor Timothy Finnegan
has appealed to city leaders

652
00:24:54,284 --> 00:24:57,537
to secure
additional funding.

653
00:24:57,579 --> 00:25:00,874
Mom, wasn't
the taping awesome?

654
00:25:00,916 --> 00:25:03,877
It is amazing
how many people it takes

655
00:25:03,919 --> 00:25:05,378
to bring the news to life.

656
00:25:05,420 --> 00:25:06,922
So does that mean

657
00:25:06,963 --> 00:25:10,217
you'll be watching my face
on a TV screen every night?

658
00:25:10,258 --> 00:25:11,509
I don't know about that.

659
00:25:11,551 --> 00:25:12,928
Ouch! [laughing]

660
00:25:14,346 --> 00:25:15,764
But seriously,

661
00:25:15,805 --> 00:25:19,100
I mean, after a whole week
of seeing behind the scenes,

662
00:25:19,142 --> 00:25:21,186
what would it take
to get you to watch the news?

663
00:25:21,228 --> 00:25:23,563
Well, for starters...

664
00:25:23,605 --> 00:25:25,732
maybe wear something
more exciting,

665
00:25:25,774 --> 00:25:27,275
like adding more color
to your wardrobe?

666
00:25:27,317 --> 00:25:29,361
Change my signature look?

667
00:25:29,402 --> 00:25:30,654
Never.

668
00:25:30,695 --> 00:25:31,655
[chuckling]

669
00:25:31,696 --> 00:25:33,990
- Well, in all honesty...
- Okay?

670
00:25:34,032 --> 00:25:35,242
At the end of the day,

671
00:25:35,283 --> 00:25:38,411
there's just not much time
to watch the news,

672
00:25:38,453 --> 00:25:39,871
and if there is...

673
00:25:39,913 --> 00:25:41,790
why would I want to be reminded

674
00:25:41,831 --> 00:25:44,125
of everything wrong
in the world?

675
00:25:44,167 --> 00:25:45,544
That's not all the news is.

676
00:25:45,585 --> 00:25:47,546
Mm, sure feels like it.

677
00:25:49,256 --> 00:25:51,174
Mom, I left my backpack
in the control room.

678
00:25:51,216 --> 00:25:53,385
Can I go get it?

679
00:25:53,426 --> 00:25:55,095
Yes, but be careful
around that equipment, okay?

680
00:25:55,136 --> 00:25:57,180
Mom... I'm a professional.

681
00:25:57,222 --> 00:25:58,223
[Adam laughs]

682
00:25:58,265 --> 00:26:00,392
He is intrepid,
I give him that.

683
00:26:03,436 --> 00:26:07,232
You know you're the only anchor
he watches, right?

684
00:26:07,274 --> 00:26:08,525
Really?

685
00:26:09,943 --> 00:26:11,569
Guess there's
a lot of things you don't know

686
00:26:11,611 --> 00:26:12,404
until you ask.

687
00:26:13,571 --> 00:26:16,950
People are more than
just what they do,

688
00:26:16,992 --> 00:26:19,452
what is "newsworthy."

689
00:26:19,494 --> 00:26:21,037
Sometimes
people just want facts.

690
00:26:21,079 --> 00:26:24,708
Yeah, but...
facts without heart?

691
00:26:24,749 --> 00:26:26,835
That's not gonna get me
to tune in.

692
00:26:26,876 --> 00:26:31,256
What would...
get you to tune in?

693
00:26:34,301 --> 00:26:36,469
Okay.

694
00:26:37,762 --> 00:26:40,473
Stories where...

695
00:26:40,515 --> 00:26:44,603
I don't just...
learn what happened.

696
00:26:44,644 --> 00:26:47,230
I <i>feel</i> why it matters.

697
00:26:48,606 --> 00:26:50,442
Elaborate.

698
00:26:50,483 --> 00:26:56,156
Well, when I talk
to the people at the salon,

699
00:26:56,197 --> 00:26:58,825
I feel their...

700
00:26:58,867 --> 00:27:01,286
their joys, their hopes...

701
00:27:01,328 --> 00:27:03,663
and struggles,

702
00:27:03,705 --> 00:27:06,458
and that makes me
feel connected.

703
00:27:09,127 --> 00:27:10,086
That.

704
00:27:11,379 --> 00:27:13,715
That's what I want
from the news.

705
00:27:15,216 --> 00:27:17,927
And you know you can do that.

706
00:27:17,969 --> 00:27:21,097
You-you-you have the ability
to find people's stories

707
00:27:21,139 --> 00:27:24,684
and share them with the world.

708
00:27:24,726 --> 00:27:27,771
[chuckling softly]

709
00:27:27,812 --> 00:27:30,106

00:34:25,146 --> 00:34:26,522
I was just about to call you.

890
00:34:26,564 --> 00:34:27,940
You go first.

891
00:34:27,982 --> 00:34:30,943
Listen, did you ever push back
on a producer's wishes

892
00:34:30,985 --> 00:34:32,487
to include a story?

893
00:34:32,528 --> 00:34:33,613
<i>If I cared deeply</i>
<i>about it, yes.</i>

894
00:34:33,654 --> 00:34:34,781
- Okay.
<i>- I did.</i>

895
00:34:34,822 --> 00:34:36,365
And how did it go?

896
00:34:36,407 --> 00:34:38,201
Well, sometimes they'd run it,

897
00:34:38,242 --> 00:34:39,368
most of the time,
they didn't,

898
00:34:39,410 --> 00:34:41,370
but hey, you win some,
you lose some.

899
00:34:41,412 --> 00:34:43,414
Well, in this case,
I think I might be losing.

900
00:34:43,456 --> 00:34:44,999
<i>If you're gonna fight</i>
<i>for a story,</i>

901
00:34:45,041 --> 00:34:46,959
and really fight for it,

902
00:34:47,001 --> 00:34:48,586
then you have to know
why it matters,

903
00:34:48,628 --> 00:34:51,255
and not just to your audience,
but to you as well.

904
00:34:51,297 --> 00:34:53,466
<i>So tell me,</i>
<i>why is this one worth it?</i>

905
00:34:53,508 --> 00:34:55,343
I don't know exactly.

906
00:34:55,384 --> 00:34:57,386
I just have a feeling
that it is.

907
00:34:57,428 --> 00:34:59,555
<i>I, uh, I spoke with Nathan.</i>

908
00:34:59,597 --> 00:35:02,350
You've been shortlisted
for the Chicago desk.

909
00:35:02,391 --> 00:35:04,268
This is a big moment.

910
00:35:04,310 --> 00:35:07,021
I mean, you-you are so good
at what you do,

911
00:35:07,063 --> 00:35:08,689
and Chicago has taken notice.

912
00:35:08,731 --> 00:35:10,858
Yeah...

913
00:35:10,900 --> 00:35:14,654
but how do I become <i>great</i>
at what I do?

914
00:35:14,695 --> 00:35:17,824
Well, you have to have focus,
which you have, and you...

915
00:35:17,865 --> 00:35:20,451
you have to work hard,
which you do,

916
00:35:20,493 --> 00:35:22,119
and a whole lot of faith.

917
00:35:22,161 --> 00:35:23,663
<i>Right.</i>

918
00:35:23,704 --> 00:35:26,123
Okay, thanks. Talk soon.

[Lucy] Oh...

923
00:35:35,675 --> 00:35:37,760
feels like just yesterday,
you were that big.

924
00:35:37,802 --> 00:35:40,263
[Robbie] It's a good thing
I've grown up since then.

925
00:35:40,304 --> 00:35:42,849
Too fast, if you ask me.

926
00:35:42,890 --> 00:35:45,560
I'm 10.
I'm pretty much an adult.

927
00:35:45,601 --> 00:35:47,478
Can I go do
the gingerbread houses

928
00:35:47,520 --> 00:35:48,855
with the elves after?

929
00:35:50,356 --> 00:35:53,526
Building houses
is a very adult thing to do.

930
00:35:53,568 --> 00:35:55,444
Yes, you can,
and you know what?

931
00:35:55,486 --> 00:35:58,114
I'm gonna get
some shopping done quickly,

932
00:35:58,155 --> 00:36:00,575
but the most important
question is--

933
00:36:00,616 --> 00:36:02,535
do you remember
your Christmas wish?

934
00:36:02,577 --> 00:36:03,536
[Robbie] Definitely!

935
00:36:03,578 --> 00:36:05,454
[Lucy] Adam?

936
00:36:05,496 --> 00:36:07,999
Mom, that wasn't even my wish!

937
00:36:08,040 --> 00:36:09,292
Hey, you two.

938
00:36:09,333 --> 00:36:13,379
Well... this is
a merry coincidence.

939
00:36:13,421 --> 00:36:14,505
Maybe the holiday spirit

940
00:36:14,547 --> 00:36:16,215
just pointed me
in the right direction.

941
00:36:16,257 --> 00:36:19,343
It has a way
of working its magic.

942

[both chuckling]

943
00:36:21,012 --> 00:36:23,097
What are you doing here?

944
00:36:23,139 --> 00:36:24,891
Well... someone pretty smart

945
00:36:24,932 --> 00:36:28,102
told me
I need to up my style game.

946
00:36:28,144 --> 00:36:30,146
Is Angel Gifts
gonna be on the show tonight?

947
00:36:31,439 --> 00:36:33,524
Unfortunately, no.

948
00:36:33,566 --> 00:36:35,484
Todd nixed it.

949
00:36:36,569 --> 00:36:37,528
Oh.

950
00:36:38,738 --> 00:36:40,281
Are you ready

951
00:36:40,323 --> 00:36:41,657
to meet Santa Claus
and tell him your wish?

952
00:36:41,699 --> 00:36:42,867
Okay.

953
00:36:42,909 --> 00:36:44,619
All right.
I'll see you in 15.

955
00:36:50,958 --> 00:36:52,835
I just wanted
to say thank you

956
00:36:52,877 --> 00:36:54,545
for what you've done
for Robbie.

957
00:36:54,587 --> 00:36:56,631
[laughs] He's a great kid,

958
00:36:56,672 --> 00:36:59,175
even if he's got
a million questions a minute.

[both chuckling]

960
00:37:00,843 --> 00:37:02,762
And you take the time to listen
and answer them.

961
00:37:02,803 --> 00:37:04,222
Not everyone does.

962
00:37:04,263 --> 00:37:05,681
That means a lot.

963
00:37:05,723 --> 00:37:08,392

my journalism background.

Yeah.

After you.

967
00:37:13,231 --> 00:37:14,815
It was so wonderful

968
00:37:14,857 --> 00:37:16,609
watching you
interview Susie yesterday.

969
00:37:16,651 --> 00:37:20,321
You weren't treating it
like it was just a headline.

970
00:37:20,363 --> 00:37:21,656
Thanks.

971
00:37:21,697 --> 00:37:25,326
It's just a shame the world
won't get to see it.

972
00:37:28,162 --> 00:37:30,122
Well, maybe they can
still see you.

973
00:37:31,332 --> 00:37:32,667
There's more
to the man behind the desk

974
00:37:32,708 --> 00:37:33,960
than meets the eye.

975
00:37:34,001 --> 00:37:35,461
[he chuckles] I'm not sure

976

I'm ready to make
that kind of leap.

977
00:37:37,505 --> 00:37:39,840
Well, every leap
starts with a little faith.

978

in a red peacoat.

How did you know
it was love?

1423
00:54:46,074 --> 00:54:47,325
Because I was
the best version of myself

1424
00:54:47,367 --> 00:54:48,827
when I was with her.

1425
00:54:48,868 --> 00:54:50,537
I didn't want
to leave her side.

for 12 days.

an emergency back home

1435
00:55:08,388 --> 00:55:09,973

1436
00:55:10,015 --> 00:55:11,016

1437

these trees in her honor,

the 12 days of Christmas

01:01:43,199 --> 01:01:45,118
we must remember
to take care of those

1593
01:01:45,159 --> 01:01:47,036
who take care of others.

1594
01:01:47,078 --> 01:01:49,372
Muriel Bernhardt found
a passion for reading

1595
01:01:49,414 --> 01:01:50,665
early on,

1596
01:01:50,706 --> 01:01:52,667
and could not wait
to find a way to share it

1597
01:01:52,708 --> 01:01:54,001
with others,

1598
01:01:54,043 --> 01:01:56,879
and that's how Muriel Bernhardt
of Muriel's Books

1599
01:01:56,921 --> 01:01:59,757
turned her love of reading
into a holiday offer.

1600
01:01:59,799 --> 01:02:02,135
<i>For every book purchased</i>
<i>in December,</i>

1601
01:02:02,176 --> 01:02:06,681
<i>Muriel donates three books</i>
<i>to local schools.</i>

1602
01:02:06,722 --> 01:02:07,974
[he sighs]

1603
01:02:08,015 --> 01:02:10,768
You look good
sitting at my old desk.

1604
01:02:10,810 --> 01:02:12,728
[he laughs]
Do you miss it?

1605
01:02:12,770 --> 01:02:15,314
Ah, I think teaching
was the right thing for me.

1606
01:02:15,356 --> 01:02:19,026
The, uh, holiday shopping
go a little overboard?

1607
01:02:19,068 --> 01:02:20,653
Those are donations
from the viewers.

1608
01:02:20,695 --> 01:02:22,238
They've been flooding
the studio.

1609
01:02:22,280 --> 01:02:23,489
People want to support

1610
01:02:23,531 --> 01:02:25,283
the charities
we've been covering.

1611
01:02:25,324 --> 01:02:27,702
Perhaps Chicago
will feel the same.

1612
01:02:27,744 --> 01:02:29,370
I haven't heard from them yet,

1613
01:02:29,412 --> 01:02:31,289
and to tell you the truth,
the Chicago job's

1614
01:02:31,330 --> 01:02:33,082
been the farthest thing
from my mind.

1615
01:02:33,124 --> 01:02:34,000
Adam!

1616
01:02:34,041 --> 01:02:35,376
There's a call for you.

1617
01:02:35,418 --> 01:02:36,586
You're gonna want to take it.

1618
01:02:36,627 --> 01:02:38,337
[Adam] Thank you.

1619
01:02:38,379 --> 01:02:39,922
Uh, this is Adam Kade.

1620
01:02:39,964 --> 01:02:40,757
[woman] <i>Hello?</i>

1621
01:02:40,798 --> 01:02:42,300
Hi.

1622
01:02:42,341 --> 01:02:45,136
<i>I'm calling about the story</i>
<i>of the man in the park</i>

1623
01:02:45,178 --> 01:02:47,305
<i>who once met a woman</i>
<i>in a red peacoat?</i>

1624
01:02:47,346 --> 01:02:48,639
Okay. Yes.

1625
01:02:48,681 --> 01:02:50,141
<i>Well, you see...</i>

1626
01:02:50,183 --> 01:02:52,768
<i>the woman in the red peacoat</i>
<i>is me!</i>

1627
01:02:52,810 --> 01:02:55,229
[♪♪♪]

1628
01:02:55,271 --> 01:02:58,608
Um, could you
hold one second, please?

1629
01:02:58,649 --> 01:03:00,276
There!

1630
01:03:00,318 --> 01:03:03,112
That's how it feels
when taking a risk works.

1631
01:03:04,447 --> 01:03:05,823
Well done, Adam.

1632
01:03:05,865 --> 01:03:08,034
I am so proud of you.

1633
01:03:08,075 --> 01:03:10,244
Now you go and finish the story.

1634
01:03:10,286 --> 01:03:12,205
Okay.

1635
01:03:12,246 --> 01:03:13,915
[chuckling]

1636
01:03:15,833 --> 01:03:17,835
Hi.

1637
01:03:17,877 --> 01:03:20,213
I am so glad you called.

1638
01:03:22,757 --> 01:03:26,177
Your story
really connected with people,

1639
01:03:26,219 --> 01:03:28,137
but today's the last tree.

1640
01:03:28,179 --> 01:03:30,723
"12 drummers drumming."

1641
01:03:31,807 --> 01:03:33,017
And I'll start again
next Christmas.

1642
01:03:34,143 --> 01:03:36,437
Haven't enough Christmases
gone by?

1643
01:03:39,065 --> 01:03:40,775
[voice cracks] Rona?

1644
01:03:40,817 --> 01:03:42,485
- Hi, Marty!
- Oh!

1645
01:03:42,527 --> 01:03:44,278
Oh!

1646
01:03:44,320 --> 01:03:46,948
[♪♪♪]

1647
01:03:51,244 --> 01:03:52,662
[Adam] Turning now

1648
01:03:52,703 --> 01:03:55,831
to a new chapter of a story
you may already know,

1649
01:03:55,873 --> 01:03:57,250
a few nights ago,

1650
01:03:57,291 --> 01:03:59,502
we introduced you to Marty,

1651
01:03:59,544 --> 01:04:01,128
<i>a retired art teacher</i>

1652
01:04:01,170 --> 01:04:03,548
<i>who decorates trees</i>
<i>each December</i>

1653
01:04:03,589 --> 01:04:06,133
<i>in honor of a long-ago love,</i>

1654
01:04:06,175 --> 01:04:09,804
<i>and the hope that one day,</i>
<i>she might find her way back.</i>

1655
01:04:09,846 --> 01:04:14,141
<i>I'm happy to report</i>
<i>that tonight, she did.</i>

1656
01:04:14,183 --> 01:04:15,643
<i>Rona walked into that park,</i>

1657
01:04:15,685 --> 01:04:19,188
<i>and just like that,</i>
<i>what once was a memory</i>

1658
01:04:19,230 --> 01:04:21,482
<i>became a second chance.</i>

1659
01:04:21,524 --> 01:04:24,944
There's a line Marty said
during our first interview

1660
01:04:24,986 --> 01:04:27,154
that I have not
been able to shake.

1661
01:04:27,196 --> 01:04:28,239
He said,

1662
01:04:28,281 --> 01:04:31,033
"I was the best version
of myself

1663
01:04:31,075 --> 01:04:32,910
when I was with her."

1664
01:04:32,952 --> 01:04:34,704
<i>That stuck with me.</i>

1665
01:04:34,745 --> 01:04:36,455
<i>Maybe because it's rare</i>

1666
01:04:36,497 --> 01:04:39,542
<i>to meet someone</i>
<i>who doesn't just see you,</i>

1667
01:04:39,584 --> 01:04:42,044
<i>but sees the best in you</i>

1668
01:04:42,086 --> 01:04:44,005
<i>and helps you</i>
<i>to see it for yourself.</i>

1669
01:04:44,046 --> 01:04:47,758
So, tonight, Marty and Rona...

1670
01:04:47,800 --> 01:04:50,136
thank you for reminding us

1671
01:04:50,177 --> 01:04:54,515
that if we are lucky,
love finds a way.

1672
01:04:56,267 --> 01:04:59,020
That was
such a beautiful story.

1673
01:04:59,061 --> 01:05:00,605
I'm really glad you found it.

1674
01:05:00,646 --> 01:05:01,689
Thank you. Me too.

1675
01:05:03,274 --> 01:05:05,359
Listen, um...

1676
01:05:05,401 --> 01:05:07,320
I got you something.

1677
01:05:07,361 --> 01:05:08,863
Really?

1678
01:05:08,905 --> 01:05:10,865
Yes, sir. [chuckling]

1679
01:05:10,907 --> 01:05:12,158
Okay.

1680
01:05:12,199 --> 01:05:13,659
So, for as long
as I've known you,

1681
01:05:13,701 --> 01:05:15,077
you've gotten everyone
gift cards,

1682
01:05:15,119 --> 01:05:16,704
so what is this?

1683
01:05:16,746 --> 01:05:18,956
You mentioned
that the twins started...

1684
01:05:18,998 --> 01:05:20,499
[overlapping]
...violin lessons.

1685
01:05:20,541 --> 01:05:23,586
Yes, and so I thought
those might come in handy.

1686
01:05:23,628 --> 01:05:25,588
That's very thoughtful.

1687
01:05:25,630 --> 01:05:28,549
Yeah, you should hear 'em
practicing "Silent Night."

1688
01:05:28,591 --> 01:05:29,675
Oh...

1689
01:05:29,717 --> 01:05:30,968
It's anything but.

1690
01:05:31,010 --> 01:05:32,303
[both laughing]

1691
01:05:32,345 --> 01:05:34,013
Merry Christmas, Todd.

1692
01:05:34,055 --> 01:05:35,765
Merry Christmas, Adam.

1693
01:05:39,852 --> 01:05:41,228
[door bell jingling]

1694
01:05:41,270 --> 01:05:43,773
Oh, thank you so much
for getting those groceries.

1695
01:05:43,814 --> 01:05:45,024
I've hardly had any time,

1696
01:05:45,066 --> 01:05:46,943
and I didn't want to order in
again tonight.

1697
01:05:46,984 --> 01:05:48,778
I'm just happy you asked.

1698
01:05:48,819 --> 01:05:50,947
[phone ringing]

1699
01:05:53,783 --> 01:05:54,951
Hello?

1700
01:05:54,992 --> 01:05:56,118
Hi.

1701
01:05:56,160 --> 01:05:58,120
Um...

1702
01:05:58,162 --> 01:06:01,791
so, I did something
kind of out of character.

1703
01:06:01,832 --> 01:06:03,334
[he chuckles]

1704
01:06:03,376 --> 01:06:06,128
I called in a vacation day
for tomorrow...

1705
01:06:06,170 --> 01:06:07,755
<i>a real one this time.</i>

1706
01:06:07,797 --> 01:06:09,757
Oh, good for you.

1707
01:06:09,799 --> 01:06:11,801
What are you gonna do with it?

1708
01:06:11,842 --> 01:06:13,469
<i>Well, my parents throw</i>

1709
01:06:13,511 --> 01:06:14,804
this holiday party
every year,

1710
01:06:14,845 --> 01:06:16,806
and I was thinking

1711
01:06:16,847 --> 01:06:19,100
that maybe you and Robbie

1712
01:06:19,141 --> 01:06:21,060
<i>would like to come?</i>

1713
01:06:21,102 --> 01:06:23,771
Oh, I'm sure
Robbie would love to,

1714
01:06:23,813 --> 01:06:26,315
but, um...

1715
01:06:26,357 --> 01:06:27,692
he'll be at his dad's.

1716
01:06:27,733 --> 01:06:29,151
<i>Ah, okay.</i>

1717
01:06:29,193 --> 01:06:32,113
Um, well,
if you're still free,

1718
01:06:32,154 --> 01:06:34,448
maybe you...

1719
01:06:34,490 --> 01:06:35,783
<i>would like to come</i>

1720
01:06:35,825 --> 01:06:38,119
<i>as my, uh...</i>

1721
01:06:38,160 --> 01:06:40,746
<i>uh, as my, um...</i>

1722
01:06:40,788 --> 01:06:42,665
As your...

1723
01:06:44,709 --> 01:06:45,793
Date?

1724
01:06:47,044 --> 01:06:49,130
Can you hold on
for a second?

1725
01:06:49,171 --> 01:06:50,798
Sure.

1726
01:06:55,511 --> 01:06:58,764
Skylar, he's asking me
out on a date.

1727
01:06:58,806 --> 01:07:00,558
Why'd you go on mute?
Say yes!

1728
01:07:00,599 --> 01:07:02,101
I don't know if I'm ready.

1729
01:07:02,143 --> 01:07:05,396
He's making room for you
in his life.

1730
01:07:05,438 --> 01:07:06,814
Now is your chance
to do the same.

1731
01:07:06,856 --> 01:07:08,524
What could go wrong?

1732
01:07:08,566 --> 01:07:10,943
I don't know. Everything?

1733
01:07:10,985 --> 01:07:13,904
Maybe instead, ask yourself
what could go right.

1734
01:07:18,701 --> 01:07:19,910
Back.

1735
01:07:19,952 --> 01:07:21,203
<i>So, um...</i>

1736
01:07:21,245 --> 01:07:22,705
yes.

1737
01:07:22,747 --> 01:07:23,873
<i>That'd be great.</i>

1738
01:07:23,914 --> 01:07:25,416
- Great! Great!
<i>- Yes.</i>

1739
01:07:25,458 --> 01:07:27,793
<i>I mean...</i>
<i>I was hoping you'd say that.</i>

1740
01:07:27,835 --> 01:07:29,170
So, um...

1741
01:07:29,211 --> 01:07:31,047
pick you up at 6:00?

1742
01:07:31,088 --> 01:07:32,757
See you tomorrow.

1743
01:07:32,798 --> 01:07:34,341
See you
tomorrow.

1744
01:07:34,383 --> 01:07:36,302
<i>- Good night.</i>
- Good night.

1745
01:07:36,343 --> 01:07:38,929
[he exhales]

1746
01:07:40,431 --> 01:07:42,600
[sighing] Okay.

1747
01:07:44,560 --> 01:07:46,020
Was that Adam?

1748
01:07:46,061 --> 01:07:48,147
Yes.

1749
01:07:49,648 --> 01:07:51,484
Are you going on a date?

1750
01:07:52,777 --> 01:07:55,321
Um...

1751
01:07:55,362 --> 01:07:57,072
well...

1752
01:07:57,114 --> 01:07:58,574
It's okay, Mom.

1753
01:07:58,616 --> 01:07:59,992
I want you to be happy.

1754
01:08:04,288 --> 01:08:05,956
You're what makes me happy.

1755
01:08:05,998 --> 01:08:08,751
You can have
more than one happy.

1756
01:08:09,835 --> 01:08:12,088
When did you get so smart?

1757
01:08:12,129 --> 01:08:13,798
I've always been smart!

1758
01:08:22,264 --> 01:08:24,058
[♪♪♪]

1759
01:08:24,100 --> 01:08:26,852
Welcome, welcome.

1760
01:08:26,894 --> 01:08:29,730
So your family doesn't
even know you're coming?

1761
01:08:29,772 --> 01:08:31,440
Well, I thought
it'd be fun to surprise them.

1762
01:08:31,482 --> 01:08:33,651
[woman] Adam?

1763
01:08:33,692 --> 01:08:35,069
- [gasping]
- Merry Christmas, Mom!

1764
01:08:35,110 --> 01:08:38,072
- Oh!
- [laughing]

1765
01:08:38,113 --> 01:08:39,698
I thought
you were working tonight.

1766
01:08:39,740 --> 01:08:41,534
Being here is more important.

1767
01:08:41,575 --> 01:08:43,744
Oh... Jack, look who's here!

1768
01:08:43,786 --> 01:08:46,288
Adam?

1769
01:08:46,330 --> 01:08:49,125
As seen on TV!
Bring it in, son.

1770
01:08:49,166 --> 01:08:50,292
Here you are.

1771
01:08:50,334 --> 01:08:53,796
Mom, Dad, this is Lucy.

1772
01:08:53,838 --> 01:08:56,966
Lucy, these are my parents,
Norma and Jack.

1773
01:08:57,007 --> 01:08:58,509
Nice to meet you.

1774
01:08:58,551 --> 01:08:59,760
Well, you get
one of these, too!

1775
01:08:59,802 --> 01:09:00,636
- Oh!
- [laughter]

1776
01:09:00,678 --> 01:09:02,054
Oh.

1777
01:09:02,096 --> 01:09:04,265
[Norma] That was the year
I knit matching sweaters

1778
01:09:04,306 --> 01:09:05,266
for the whole family.

1779
01:09:05,307 --> 01:09:06,433
Of course,

1780
01:09:06,475 --> 01:09:07,852
Adam got a growth spurt
the week before,

1781
01:09:07,893 --> 01:09:08,811
and barely fit.

1782
01:09:08,853 --> 01:09:09,770
Oh!

1783
01:09:09,812 --> 01:09:10,938
[Adam] She knitted me

1784
01:09:10,980 --> 01:09:12,857
this absurdly long one
the next year,

1785
01:09:12,898 --> 01:09:14,275
just in case I kept growing.

1786
01:09:14,316 --> 01:09:15,901
[chuckles]

1787
01:09:15,943 --> 01:09:17,778
It had Dasher
right on the front.

1788
01:09:17,820 --> 01:09:19,071
It was my favorite.

1789
01:09:19,113 --> 01:09:21,532
I wore it so much
that the edges began to fray.

1790
01:09:21,574 --> 01:09:23,826
It is so wonderful
having you here.

1791
01:09:23,868 --> 01:09:25,911
I feel the same way, Mom.

1792
01:09:28,956 --> 01:09:32,293
Wait, you put out
a stocking for me?

1793
01:09:32,334 --> 01:09:33,919
But you didn't even know
I was coming home.

1794
01:09:33,961 --> 01:09:36,005
We put out a stocking
every year.

1795
01:09:36,046 --> 01:09:38,382
Makes us feel like
you're not so far away.

1796
01:09:38,424 --> 01:09:41,594
And... it's tradition.

1797
01:09:43,304 --> 01:09:44,805
Tradition is important.

1798
01:09:48,851 --> 01:09:51,020
Thank you.

1799
01:09:51,061 --> 01:09:52,438
For what, son?

1800
01:09:52,479 --> 01:09:55,357
For being supportive of me,

1801
01:09:55,399 --> 01:09:58,485
even when I've had to let
too many Christmases go by.

1802
01:09:58,527 --> 01:10:00,571
I know it wasn't easy,

1803
01:10:00,613 --> 01:10:02,781
and I promise
I won't let it happen again.

1804
01:10:02,823 --> 01:10:04,950
This is your home, Adam.

1805
01:10:04,992 --> 01:10:07,995
Always has been,
always will be.

1806
01:10:08,037 --> 01:10:10,873
[♪♪♪]

1807
01:10:10,915 --> 01:10:11,790
Cheers.

1808
01:10:21,508 --> 01:10:25,262
I never used to notice
nights like this.

1809
01:10:25,304 --> 01:10:27,222
They're beautiful,

1810
01:10:27,264 --> 01:10:30,601
when you take the moment
to look around.

1811
01:10:30,643 --> 01:10:32,394
[Adam] I was always
too busy for that.

1812
01:10:32,436 --> 01:10:34,855
Always working.

1813
01:10:34,897 --> 01:10:39,652
I thought being busy
made me important...

1814
01:10:40,694 --> 01:10:43,405
...but then
I met you and Robbie...

1815
01:10:43,447 --> 01:10:44,740
[he chuckles]

1816
01:10:44,782 --> 01:10:46,992
...and it's like

1817
01:10:47,034 --> 01:10:49,036
my whole world slowed down...

1818
01:10:49,078 --> 01:10:50,996
in the best way.

1819
01:10:54,333 --> 01:10:55,668
For the longest time,

1820
01:10:55,709 --> 01:10:58,671
I thought it was my job
to stay outside the story.

1821
01:10:58,712 --> 01:11:01,507
Not get emotional, not get...

1822
01:11:02,758 --> 01:11:04,468
Close?

1823
01:11:04,510 --> 01:11:06,887
Exactly.

1824
01:11:06,929 --> 01:11:10,349
I didn't realize
how closed off I had become.

1825
01:11:11,642 --> 01:11:13,394
[she chuckles]

1826
01:11:14,436 --> 01:11:15,604
You know what's funny?

1827
01:11:15,646 --> 01:11:17,690
What?

1828
01:11:17,731 --> 01:11:20,985
I thought I was fine
on my own too.

1829
01:11:21,026 --> 01:11:24,738
I'd built this little island,

1830
01:11:24,780 --> 01:11:27,491
me and Robbie.

1831
01:11:31,328 --> 01:11:34,456
Now I look up...

1832
01:11:34,498 --> 01:11:36,000
and you're there.

1833
01:11:37,835 --> 01:11:39,920
You keep showing up...

1834
01:11:39,962 --> 01:11:41,797
for the both of us.

1835
01:11:44,091 --> 01:11:47,803
I didn't expect
any of this to happen.

1836
01:11:47,845 --> 01:11:49,471
[they laugh]

1837
01:11:49,513 --> 01:11:51,557
Me neither...

1838
01:11:53,350 --> 01:11:54,977
...but I'm happy it is.

1839
01:11:56,311 --> 01:11:57,646
[Adam] Me too.

1840
01:11:57,688 --> 01:12:00,274
[♪♪♪]

1841
01:12:06,655 --> 01:12:07,948
[Adam's phone rings]

1842
01:12:07,990 --> 01:12:10,034
[sighs] Oh...

1843
01:12:10,075 --> 01:12:11,493
[they laugh]

1844
01:12:11,535 --> 01:12:13,120
- Uh--
- That's okay.

1845
01:12:13,162 --> 01:12:15,664
Take the call.

1846
01:12:15,706 --> 01:12:18,250
[ringing]

1847
01:12:18,292 --> 01:12:21,462
Sorry, just, um, just give me
one second, okay?

1848
01:12:24,214 --> 01:12:25,799
Nathan, hi.

1849
01:12:25,841 --> 01:12:27,634
<i>Adam! Good news--</i>

1850
01:12:27,676 --> 01:12:30,137
<i>you're making major waves,</i>
<i>especially with that, uh...</i>

1851
01:12:30,179 --> 01:12:32,181
long-lost love piece.

1852
01:12:32,222 --> 01:12:34,433
They want you in the studio
for an interview.

1853
01:12:34,475 --> 01:12:37,811
That's fantastic. Well, when?

1854
01:12:37,853 --> 01:12:39,438
<i>Tomorrow.</i>
<i>I know it's tight,</i>

1855
01:12:39,480 --> 01:12:41,148
but this thing is moving fast.

1856
01:12:41,190 --> 01:12:43,817
I didn't realize
you'd be meeting with people

1857
01:12:43,859 --> 01:12:45,235
before the holidays.

1858
01:12:45,277 --> 01:12:46,695
<i>Well, we want</i>
<i>the new anchor</i>

1859
01:12:46,737 --> 01:12:49,323
to hit the ground running
top of the year.

1860
01:12:49,364 --> 01:12:51,200
So, can I tell everyone you'll
be on that morning flight?

1861
01:12:51,241 --> 01:12:54,119
Yes, absolutely.

1862
01:12:54,161 --> 01:12:56,955
See you in Chicago tomorrow.

1863
01:12:56,997 --> 01:12:58,707
This is a huge opportunity,

1864
01:12:58,749 --> 01:13:02,086
and I appreciate
the chance at it.

1865
01:13:02,127 --> 01:13:03,045
<i>Thanks, Adam.</i>

1866
01:13:03,087 --> 01:13:04,546
Okay, thank you.

1867
01:13:04,588 --> 01:13:06,590
[he chuckles]

1868
01:13:08,467 --> 01:13:10,177
Chicago?

1869
01:13:11,553 --> 01:13:13,389
Um...

1870
01:13:13,430 --> 01:13:18,394
yeah, there's an opening
for a lead anchor position.

1871
01:13:19,853 --> 01:13:22,564
So you're...

1872
01:13:22,606 --> 01:13:23,899
you're leaving?

1873
01:13:23,941 --> 01:13:25,150
It's just an interview.

1874
01:13:26,276 --> 01:13:27,778
Um...

1875
01:13:30,155 --> 01:13:33,242
Is that what everything's
been about?

1876
01:13:33,283 --> 01:13:34,868
What do you mean?

1877
01:13:36,286 --> 01:13:39,832
Oh. The new Adam.

1878
01:13:39,873 --> 01:13:40,958
[he groans]

1879
01:13:40,999 --> 01:13:43,794
Opening up on air...

1880
01:13:43,836 --> 01:13:48,382
the connections
you've made with people, um...

1881
01:13:48,423 --> 01:13:50,509
was it all just to get noticed
for a bigger job?

1882
01:13:50,551 --> 01:13:51,760
No. No.

1883
01:13:51,802 --> 01:13:53,345
No, that was all real.

1884
01:13:53,387 --> 01:13:55,139
You can trust me on that.

1885
01:13:56,473 --> 01:13:58,183
Then...

1886
01:13:58,225 --> 01:14:00,060
then why did
you keep this from me?

1887
01:14:01,728 --> 01:14:04,064
There was never the right time
to bring it up,

1888
01:14:04,106 --> 01:14:05,691
and-and-and maybe...

1889
01:14:05,732 --> 01:14:07,359
maybe I was afraid
of what it would mean.

1890
01:14:08,944 --> 01:14:11,363
So...

1891
01:14:11,405 --> 01:14:15,909
you let me believe
that this could be something.

1892
01:14:15,951 --> 01:14:17,703
You...

1893
01:14:17,744 --> 01:14:20,664
let Robbie believe.

1894
01:14:21,748 --> 01:14:23,167
This is something.

1895
01:14:23,208 --> 01:14:25,002
I promise you, it is.

1896
01:14:25,043 --> 01:14:27,087
Yeah, but...

1897
01:14:27,129 --> 01:14:29,089
if your interview goes well...

1898
01:14:30,591 --> 01:14:32,259
- ...you would leave.
- I don't know.

1899
01:14:33,302 --> 01:14:34,678
I don't know!

1900
01:14:34,720 --> 01:14:36,346
I knew this was a mistake.

1901
01:14:36,388 --> 01:14:37,556
No, wait, wait.
Lucy, Lucy! I--

1902
01:14:37,598 --> 01:14:39,766
I-It's not even me
I'm worried about.

1903
01:14:39,808 --> 01:14:41,560
I've been here before,
but...

1904
01:14:41,602 --> 01:14:42,978
but Robbie?

1905
01:14:44,438 --> 01:14:47,149
You made promises to him.

1906
01:14:47,191 --> 01:14:50,569
I meant them,
and I still do.

1907
01:14:50,611 --> 01:14:52,029
[she sighs]

1908
01:14:52,070 --> 01:14:54,156
Can you keep them?

1909
01:14:54,198 --> 01:14:57,034
[he sighs shakily]

1910
01:14:57,075 --> 01:14:59,494
At least let me
explain it to him.

1911
01:14:59,536 --> 01:15:02,664
[sighing]

1912
01:15:02,706 --> 01:15:04,791
I am so sorry,

1913
01:15:04,833 --> 01:15:07,044
but I-I don't think
this is a good idea.

1914
01:15:08,045 --> 01:15:10,130
Good luck in Chicago.

1915
01:15:10,172 --> 01:15:12,799
Really. Uh...

1916
01:15:12,841 --> 01:15:16,803
I really hope it is
everything you're looking for.

1917
01:15:17,930 --> 01:15:19,139
Wait, Lucy.

1918
01:15:19,181 --> 01:15:21,141
Lucy, I...

1919
01:15:21,183 --> 01:15:22,518
Lucy!

1920
01:15:22,559 --> 01:15:23,644
[door closes]

1921
01:15:23,685 --> 01:15:25,646
[he sighs]

1922
01:15:36,365 --> 01:15:38,533
[♪♪♪]

1923
01:15:43,038 --> 01:15:44,831
[she sighs]

1924
01:16:01,431 --> 01:16:03,392
Why can't Adam be here?

1925
01:16:03,433 --> 01:16:04,851
He was supposed to help me

1926
01:16:04,893 --> 01:16:07,521
with my video
for the Christmas concert.

1927
01:16:07,563 --> 01:16:09,273
I know, sweetheart.

1928
01:16:10,816 --> 01:16:13,777
I wish
things were different too.

1929
01:16:14,820 --> 01:16:16,822
But...

1930
01:16:16,863 --> 01:16:22,286
he has a big opportunity
in Chicago,

1931
01:16:22,327 --> 01:16:25,330
something he has been
looking towards for a long time,

1932
01:16:25,372 --> 01:16:27,916
and we both decided that...

1933
01:16:27,958 --> 01:16:29,918
it'd be better

1934
01:16:29,960 --> 01:16:32,129
if we give him space
to figure that out.

1935
01:16:33,422 --> 01:16:35,132
But why?

1936
01:16:35,173 --> 01:16:36,883
I don't want him to leave.

1937
01:16:38,635 --> 01:16:40,804
[sighing]

1938
01:16:47,144 --> 01:16:49,104
You know how, every year,

1939
01:16:49,146 --> 01:16:51,857
we pick out
the perfect Christmas tree?

1940
01:16:53,984 --> 01:16:58,780
And we bring it home,
and we decorate it,

1941
01:16:58,822 --> 01:17:01,491
and it stays
until the holidays are over?

1942
01:17:04,244 --> 01:17:07,205
Well, Adam was like our tree.

1943
01:17:09,916 --> 01:17:12,627
He came into our lives
to shine...

1944
01:17:12,669 --> 01:17:15,130
just at the right time,

01:17:15,172 --> 01:17:18,133
and he brought us joy...

1946
01:17:18,175 --> 01:17:19,468
and memories...

1947
01:17:19,509 --> 01:17:23,138
but, like our tree,
he can't stay forever.

1948
01:17:24,890 --> 01:17:28,185
[sighs] But I want him to.

1949
01:17:30,479 --> 01:17:32,397
Oh, honey...

1950
01:17:32,439 --> 01:17:36,360
sometimes grown-up stuff
is complicated...

1951
01:17:37,903 --> 01:17:41,365
...but that doesn't
change the fact

1952
01:17:41,406 --> 01:17:43,492
that he cares about you,

1953
01:17:43,533 --> 01:17:49,081
and it definitely doesn't change
how proud I am of you.

1954
01:17:52,667 --> 01:17:55,796
Okay.

for the wonderful performance!

[Adam] Sorry.

1974
01:18:42,509 --> 01:18:44,553
Hey! Ready to get out there

1975
01:18:44,594 --> 01:18:45,679
and show 'em what you got?

1976
01:18:45,720 --> 01:18:48,014
But we never filmed a segment.

1977
01:18:48,056 --> 01:18:49,516
We don't need it.

1978
01:18:49,558 --> 01:18:51,101
What's a skill

1979
01:18:51,143 --> 01:18:53,186
that a news anchor
has to be good at?

1980
01:18:53,228 --> 01:18:55,313
Improvising
during live broadcasts.

1981
01:18:55,355 --> 01:18:56,398
Mm-hmm.

1982
01:18:56,440 --> 01:18:57,357
I have an idea!

1983
01:18:57,399 --> 01:18:58,692
Okay.

1984
01:18:58,734 --> 01:19:00,777
But... I'm nervous.

1985
01:19:02,320 --> 01:19:04,239
You believed in me,

1986
01:19:04,281 --> 01:19:08,452
that I was capable of something
I didn't even see in myself.

1987
01:19:08,493 --> 01:19:13,373
Now, I'm here because
I believe in you, okay?

1988
01:19:13,415 --> 01:19:14,499
We can do this.

1989
01:19:14,541 --> 01:19:15,584
- Yeah!
- Come on.

1990
01:19:15,625 --> 01:19:16,752
[Adam] Uh, we'll be right back.

1991
01:19:16,793 --> 01:19:19,546
[he laughs]

1992
01:19:24,426 --> 01:19:25,594
- Adam Kade.
- Yes.

1993
01:19:25,635 --> 01:19:28,013
You're used to asking
the tough questions,

1994
01:19:28,054 --> 01:19:29,848
but tonight,
you're the one in the hot seat.

1995
01:19:29,890 --> 01:19:32,684
Uh-oh. Is it too late
to back out?

1996
01:19:32,726 --> 01:19:35,395
Not unless you could outrun
a fifth grader.

1997
01:19:35,437 --> 01:19:36,938
[laughter]

1998
01:19:36,980 --> 01:19:38,482
First question.

1999
01:19:38,523 --> 01:19:41,401
Your reporting used to be
all facts, no frosting.

2000
01:19:41,443 --> 01:19:42,861
What made you shake things up?

2001
01:19:42,903 --> 01:19:45,197
I met a certain 10-year-old

2002
01:19:45,238 --> 01:19:48,408
who asked me why I didn't report
on happier things.

2003
01:19:48,450 --> 01:19:50,827
That kid sounds like a genius!

2004
01:19:50,869 --> 01:19:52,662
[laughter]

2005
01:19:52,704 --> 01:19:54,122
He sure is,

2006
01:19:54,164 --> 01:19:55,665
and he helped me realize

2007
01:19:55,707 --> 01:19:57,876
that what I put out in the world
matters.

2008
01:19:57,918 --> 01:20:00,045
That's what made
all the difference.

2009
01:20:01,963 --> 01:20:04,424
Somewhere along the way,

2010
01:20:04,466 --> 01:20:07,344
I stopped just
reporting on this community.

2011
01:20:07,385 --> 01:20:09,679
I became a part of it.

2012
01:20:09,721 --> 01:20:13,433
The truth is, sometimes
you don't need facts--

2013
01:20:13,475 --> 01:20:15,268
you need connection.

2014
01:20:16,645 --> 01:20:18,814
Christmas
is right around the corner.

2015
01:20:18,855 --> 01:20:20,106
What's your wish this year?

2016
01:20:20,148 --> 01:20:23,026
And bonus question--

2017
01:20:23,068 --> 01:20:26,780
which of Santa's reindeer
would make the best news anchor?

2018
01:20:26,822 --> 01:20:28,114
[laughter]

2019
01:20:28,156 --> 01:20:31,451
Dasher, obviously.
He's got hustle.

2020
01:20:31,493 --> 01:20:34,621
And for your first question...

2021
01:20:34,663 --> 01:20:39,584
my wish is that other people
can learn what I did,

2022
01:20:39,626 --> 01:20:42,963
that Christmas isn't something
that just happens.

2023
01:20:43,004 --> 01:20:46,132
It's made
by choosing to see the good,

2024
01:20:46,174 --> 01:20:49,302
even if it's hard to find
at first.

2025
01:20:49,344 --> 01:20:51,054
And where
did you learn that from?

2026
01:20:51,096 --> 01:20:52,681
I learned that from you.

2027
01:20:52,722 --> 01:20:54,266
[Robbie chuckles]

2028
01:20:54,307 --> 01:20:55,559
One final question,

2029
01:20:55,600 --> 01:20:57,477
and I think
it's gonna be a big scoop.

2030
01:20:57,519 --> 01:20:59,187
Ooh!

2031
01:20:59,229 --> 01:21:01,273
Any plans about your future
you want to share with everyone?

2032
01:21:02,274 --> 01:21:04,192
[he sighs]

2033
01:21:08,405 --> 01:21:10,198
No scoop here.

2034
01:21:10,240 --> 01:21:12,158
Minneapolis is my home,

2035
01:21:12,200 --> 01:21:15,620
and I feel like
I am just getting started.

2036
01:21:15,662 --> 01:21:17,038
Sometimes...

2037
01:21:17,080 --> 01:21:19,249
the bigger story
isn't out there,

2038
01:21:19,291 --> 01:21:22,085
it's right in front of you,

2039
01:21:22,127 --> 01:21:25,547
and, um...
I don't want to miss it.

2040
01:21:28,675 --> 01:21:31,011
[Robbie] How will you know
when you see it?

2041
01:21:32,429 --> 01:21:35,849
It'll make you want to be
the best version of yourself.
