[man on radio] The city
of Chicago, it seems,
5
00:00:11,637 --> 00:00:14,431
has been taken over
by Christmas elves!
6
00:00:14,431 --> 00:00:16,183
[woman] There were barely
enough volunteers to handle
7
00:00:16,183 --> 00:00:19,770
the amount of winter clothes
left at all of the shelters.
8
00:00:19,770 --> 00:00:21,313
[man] The city has never seen
this level of charity,

on early commuters' faces.

Okay, so Grandma is gonna
pick you up after school,

I want the story
about the Secret Santa.
54
00:01:52,738 --> 00:01:55,073
The one
who donated the clothes,
55
00:01:55,073 --> 00:01:56,533
and who, I'm guessing,
56
00:01:56,533 --> 00:01:59,328
is responsible for those elves
giving away the bus fares?
57
00:01:59,328 --> 00:02:00,620
That's the one.

but I really feel‐‐

00:02:03,540 --> 00:02:06,376
Look, Sydney, all I want
is the name of the Secret Santa,

what he's gonna do next,
62
00:02:07,502 --> 00:02:08,670
and I need it first.
63
00:02:08,670 --> 00:02:09,755
Because, to be honest,
64
00:02:09,755 --> 00:02:11,840
the last few stories
you've brought me
65
00:02:11,840 --> 00:02:13,175
were sweet,
66
00:02:13,175 --> 00:02:15,385
but yawners.
67
00:02:15,385 --> 00:02:17,012
So if you can't get me
what I need,
68
00:02:17,012 --> 00:02:19,514
I'll have to start
looking for other journalists.
69
00:02:19,514 --> 00:02:22,059
I'll crack who that Santa is
and get you the story you want.
70
00:02:22,059 --> 00:02:24,853
I've already got
the groundwork interviews.
71
00:02:24,853 --> 00:02:26,563
That's what I like to hear.
72

Sorry, Syd,
73
00:02:28,315 --> 00:02:31,026
but all's fair game in the world
of freelance journalism.

groundwork interviews?

from this morning?

Spoke to them all,
77
00:02:41,620 --> 00:02:43,330
and got the Secret Santa
calling card.

00:02:43,330 --> 00:02:44,831

at the shelters.

181
00:07:23,777 --> 00:07:25,820
I figured this place
would be crawling with us.
182
00:07:25,820 --> 00:07:27,364
So who do you work for?
183
00:07:27,364 --> 00:07:29,449
I'm freelance, actually.
184
00:07:32,160 --> 00:07:33,995
What about you?
185
00:07:33,995 --> 00:07:35,372
Yeah, me too.
186
00:07:35,372 --> 00:07:38,124
I'm trying to land
a permanent position with BCN.
187
00:07:38,124 --> 00:07:39,793
Mm.
188
00:07:39,793 --> 00:07:41,836
'Cause the freedom of freelance
is great, right?
189
00:07:41,836 --> 00:07:43,338
But being a single mom,
190
00:07:43,338 --> 00:07:46,174
a permanent position
would definitely be better.

Hey, you wanna‐‐
you want to try some of this?
192
00:07:50,637 --> 00:07:54,599
I mean, it's like research
for us reporters, right?

00:07:54,599 --> 00:07:57,435
You know what?
194
00:07:57,435 --> 00:08:01,147
I didn't eat breakfast,
so, yeah, why not?
195
00:08:01,147 --> 00:08:02,565
Yeah.
196
00:08:02,565 --> 00:08:04,734
Uh... hey. Look at this.
197
00:08:04,734 --> 00:08:06,653

‐Thank you.

You're welcome.

00:08:15,286 --> 00:08:18,832
So, uh, how many kids
do you have?
204
00:08:18,832 --> 00:08:20,542
Just one.
205
00:08:20,542 --> 00:08:23,044
My son, Oliver,
he just turned eight.
206
00:08:24,295 --> 00:08:26,423
Oh, wow.
207
00:08:26,423 --> 00:08:28,341
That is really good.
208
00:08:28,341 --> 00:08:30,593
But it'd be great
with a little brandy cream.
209
00:08:30,593 --> 00:08:33,388
Now you're talking.
210
00:08:35,098 --> 00:08:36,641
So, you find it hard?
211
00:08:36,641 --> 00:08:39,686
Juggling your career
and being a single mom?
212
00:08:39,686 --> 00:08:43,565
Mm. Sometimes.
213
00:08:43,565 --> 00:08:45,233
But I try to make sure
I have at least
214
00:08:45,233 --> 00:08:47,277
a little time for Ollie
every single day.
215
00:08:47,277 --> 00:08:48,695
We have this thing we do,
216
00:08:48,695 --> 00:08:50,697
where I hide
his favorite stuffed animal,

Harold,
218
00:08:52,032 --> 00:08:53,700
and he has to find it
before bed.
219
00:08:55,618 --> 00:08:57,495
I am such a lucky mom.
220
00:08:57,495 --> 00:09:01,041
Oliver is the best little guy.
221
00:09:01,041 --> 00:09:03,668
He asked for just one thing
for Christmas.
222
00:09:03,668 --> 00:09:04,961
One thing!
223
00:09:04,961 --> 00:09:08,089

the Skyflier.

Oh, yes. I've...
I've heard of it.

00:09:10,633 --> 00:09:12,052
Yeah, how could you not?
226
00:09:12,052 --> 00:09:14,262
They play an ad for it
about every five minutes.
227
00:09:14,262 --> 00:09:15,847
The power of marketing.
228
00:09:15,847 --> 00:09:18,600
I feel like that's all
Christmas is about these days.
229
00:09:18,600 --> 00:09:21,186
Forget any kind of magic.
230
00:09:21,186 --> 00:09:23,188
And I'm so stressed out
about getting it all done,
231
00:09:23,188 --> 00:09:24,773
I haven't even put
the outdoor lights
232
00:09:24,773 --> 00:09:26,691
on my house yet.

00:09:26,691 --> 00:09:29,027
What about all this, though?
234
00:09:29,027 --> 00:09:30,904
I think this is pretty magical.

Don't you?
236
00:09:32,072 --> 00:09:34,115
Yeah.

It's from
our new "Silent Night" line.

It's nostalgic.
250

That's good, because that's
exactly what we're going for.

So what do I have
on my schedule tomorrow?
252
00:10:44,561 --> 00:10:46,437
Well, the mistletoe
you ordered from Wales
253
00:10:46,437 --> 00:10:47,647
is coming in,
254
00:10:47,647 --> 00:10:50,400
and I've confirmed your 3:00
with the director
255
00:10:50,400 --> 00:10:51,901
of Mothers in Arms.
256
00:10:51,901 --> 00:10:53,736
Good, well, let's just hope
she doesn't want a photo op.
257
00:10:53,736 --> 00:10:55,280
No, I was very firm.
258
00:10:55,280 --> 00:10:56,948
I'm sure they're gonna respect
the privacy of the company.
259
00:10:56,948 --> 00:10:59,784
And you're very good
at staying undercover.
260
00:10:59,784 --> 00:11:01,202
You should've seen
the faces today, Howard.
261
00:11:01,202 --> 00:11:03,163
Well, I've never seen
people so excited
262
00:11:03,163 --> 00:11:04,998
about being caught
in a traffic jam.
263
00:11:04,998 --> 00:11:07,542
Actually, I had a small
encounter with a journalist.
264
00:11:07,542 --> 00:11:09,294
Don't worry.
265
00:11:09,294 --> 00:11:11,087
I told her that
I was a journalist as well,
266
00:11:11,087 --> 00:11:14,674
a freelancer named
Cole Howard.
267
00:11:14,674 --> 00:11:17,343
Oh, quick thinking.
268
00:11:17,343 --> 00:11:18,845
Well, we know that
269
00:11:18,845 --> 00:11:21,139
if my true identity ever
made it into the spotlight,
270
00:11:21,139 --> 00:11:23,349
it would compromise
what my intentions were.
271
00:11:23,349 --> 00:11:25,310
But this journalist,
272
00:11:25,310 --> 00:11:27,353
she's exactly
why I'm doing this.
273
00:11:27,353 --> 00:11:28,229
A single mother,
274
00:11:28,229 --> 00:11:30,481
who is so stressed out
275
00:11:30,481 --> 00:11:32,650
because she sees Christmas as
just another thing to juggle
276
00:11:32,650 --> 00:11:34,736
during this holiday season.
277
00:11:34,736 --> 00:11:37,739
She's so focused
on getting the story, my story,
278
00:11:37,739 --> 00:11:39,616
that she's missing the point
of what I'm trying to do,
279
00:11:39,616 --> 00:11:42,118
which is reminding people
280
00:11:42,118 --> 00:11:44,913
what the true spirit
of Christmas is all about.
281
00:11:44,913 --> 00:11:48,750
Well, you can only hope that
she'll come to see it your way.

00:11:48,750 --> 00:11:50,001
Hmm.
283
00:11:50,001 --> 00:11:52,587
Well, maybe she will
with this next act.

00:11:55,548 --> 00:11:57,175
I have a few phone calls
I have to make.

It's perfect.

00:12:13,149 --> 00:12:15,401
I'll have Grandma bring
some of our old ornaments

00:12:15,401 --> 00:12:17,111
so that we can
really fill it out.

But for now, you have
a hockey game to get to.

Can we walk to the rink?

about all this?
362
00:14:47,553 --> 00:14:50,431
Oh, I just followed
the trail of bread crumbs,
363
00:14:50,431 --> 00:14:52,350
or... poinsettias.
364
00:14:52,350 --> 00:14:54,936
Right.
365
00:14:54,936 --> 00:14:56,020
What‐‐ What's wrong?
366
00:14:56,020 --> 00:14:57,438
What's wrong is
367
00:14:57,438 --> 00:14:59,357
I have to figure out
how to tell my boss, Perry,
368
00:14:59,357 --> 00:15:00,900
that the Secret Santa
struck again,
369
00:15:00,900 --> 00:15:02,276
on my street,
370
00:15:02,276 --> 00:15:03,528
and I missed it.
371
00:15:03,528 --> 00:15:05,988
You didn't miss it.
You're here.
372
00:15:05,988 --> 00:15:08,366
Yeah, but Perry likes
to break the story first.
373
00:15:08,366 --> 00:15:09,992
You know,
you understand.
374
00:15:09,992 --> 00:15:11,244
Oh. Oh, y‐yeah. Yeah.
375
00:15:13,246 --> 00:15:15,164
[♪♪♪]
376
00:15:16,958 --> 00:15:17,875
[Cole] Uh...
377
00:15:17,875 --> 00:15:19,377
Wait a minute.
Do you see that?
378
00:15:19,377 --> 00:15:20,503
The kids,
379
00:15:20,503 --> 00:15:22,213
they're all playing together,
380
00:15:22,213 --> 00:15:25,716
and the neighbors
are all talking to each other.
381
00:15:25,716 --> 00:15:27,885
Cole, what if that's the story?
382
00:15:27,885 --> 00:15:31,097
Not who the Secret Santa is,
but all this?
383
00:15:32,306 --> 00:15:33,975
Uh, yeah, right.
Um...
384
00:15:33,975 --> 00:15:36,602
Because if the Secret Santa
was actually revealed,
385
00:15:36,602 --> 00:15:37,979
then...
386
00:15:37,979 --> 00:15:40,398
I guess
all of this would go away
387
00:15:40,398 --> 00:15:42,942
and it would
just stop happening.
388
00:15:42,942 --> 00:15:44,318
Exactly.
389
00:15:44,318 --> 00:15:46,863
Now, the trick is gonna be
convincing Perry of that.
390
00:15:46,863 --> 00:15:49,115
[Cole] Mm.
391
00:15:49,115 --> 00:15:51,033
[Sydney] Do you think
it's unethical
392
00:15:51,033 --> 00:15:53,077
if I aid the story
a little bit?
393
00:15:53,077 --> 00:15:55,121
You know, pad it some?
394
00:15:55,121 --> 00:15:56,455
Uh... [chuckles]
395
00:15:56,455 --> 00:15:58,457
What do you mean?
396
00:15:58,457 --> 00:16:01,210
[loudly] Who would like
some hot chocolate?
397
00:16:01,210 --> 00:16:02,920
‐Yay!
‐Okay, great!
398
00:16:02,920 --> 00:16:04,213
We'll be right back
with some.
399
00:16:04,213 --> 00:16:06,507
‐As in "we" will be back?
‐Yes!
400
00:16:06,507 --> 00:16:07,717
Come on, Cole.
401
00:16:07,717 --> 00:16:09,802
If this is the story,
better get after it.
402
00:16:09,802 --> 00:16:11,512
Come on!
‐Okay.
403
00:16:13,181 --> 00:16:16,684
[♪♪♪]
404
00:16:17,894 --> 00:16:19,687
Wow. I like your tree.
405
00:16:19,687 --> 00:16:21,939
Aw. It is cute, isn't it?
406
00:16:21,939 --> 00:16:23,524
You know,
when I was Oliver's age,
407
00:16:23,524 --> 00:16:25,151
my mom and I would actually
drive out of the city,
408
00:16:25,151 --> 00:16:26,944
and we would
chop our own tree down.
409
00:16:26,944 --> 00:16:29,071
Just the two of you?
410
00:16:29,071 --> 00:16:31,282
Yeah. It was always just us.
411
00:16:31,282 --> 00:16:33,242
Kind of like you and Oliver.
412
00:16:33,242 --> 00:16:35,745
[♪♪♪]
413
00:16:35,745 --> 00:16:37,830
Why do you think
he does it?
414
00:16:37,830 --> 00:16:38,956
Secret Santa?
415
00:16:38,956 --> 00:16:39,999
From what I've investigated,
416
00:16:39,999 --> 00:16:41,459
other than
leaving his calling card,
417
00:16:41,459 --> 00:16:44,670
he hasn't left any other clues,
and certainly not as to why.
418
00:16:44,670 --> 00:16:48,424
Well, I mean, there could be
many possibilities...
419
00:16:48,424 --> 00:16:51,093
I mean, it could just be
simple generosity.
420
00:16:51,093 --> 00:16:51,969
Mm.
421
00:16:51,969 --> 00:16:53,512
Could be all of the attention.
422
00:16:53,512 --> 00:16:54,764
[Sydney sighs]
423
00:16:54,764 --> 00:16:56,057
But I don't know,
something tells me
424
00:16:56,057 --> 00:16:57,642
it's deeper than that.
425
00:16:57,642 --> 00:16:59,435
Like...
426
00:16:59,435 --> 00:17:01,896
maybe something from his past,
427
00:17:01,896 --> 00:17:06,192
maybe a tribute to...
somebody.
428
00:17:06,192 --> 00:17:07,777
Hmm.
429
00:17:07,777 --> 00:17:10,488
Well, it would be nice
to know why.
430
00:17:10,488 --> 00:17:12,615
You know, for another layer
of the story.
431
00:17:14,659 --> 00:17:17,245
Listen, um, off the record...
432
00:17:17,245 --> 00:17:19,956
Oh! What you got?
433
00:17:21,624 --> 00:17:25,586
Just the best secret ingredient
for hot chocolate.
434
00:17:26,837 --> 00:17:28,422
For the adults, of course.
435
00:17:28,422 --> 00:17:30,091
‐Right.
‐Here...
436
00:17:31,926 --> 00:17:33,135
Give this a try.
437
00:17:33,135 --> 00:17:35,054
Oh!
438
00:17:37,181 --> 00:17:40,059
Mm.
439
00:17:40,059 --> 00:17:41,686
Yep, that is hot chocolate
with a kick.
440
00:17:41,686 --> 00:17:43,604
Right?
441
00:17:43,604 --> 00:17:45,690
So, do you have any other
secrets up your sleeve?
442
00:17:45,690 --> 00:17:47,984
No. No. That's, uh...
443
00:17:47,984 --> 00:17:50,945
That's...
that's the only secret.
444
00:17:50,945 --> 00:17:52,029
We should probably get these
out to your neighbors
445
00:17:52,029 --> 00:17:52,947
while they're still hot.
446
00:17:54,407 --> 00:17:56,492
‐Yes.
‐Okay.
447
00:17:56,492 --> 00:17:59,453
Okay. Oh...
448
00:17:59,453 --> 00:18:00,329
[chuckling]
449
00:18:02,498 --> 00:18:04,458
We got hot chocolate!
450
00:18:04,458 --> 00:18:05,668
[kids cheering]
451
00:18:05,668 --> 00:18:07,545
Come on over
and get a cup.
452
00:18:07,545 --> 00:18:08,713
Yeah!
453
00:18:10,131 --> 00:18:11,173
Thanks, Mom.
454
00:18:11,173 --> 00:18:12,675
You're welcome, sweetheart.
455
00:18:12,675 --> 00:18:14,051
Here, please.
Ooh, be careful, it's hot.
456
00:18:14,051 --> 00:18:16,762
Careful, it's hot, though.
Merry Christmas.
457
00:18:16,762 --> 00:18:18,139
Ooh, enjoy.
458
00:18:18,139 --> 00:18:20,433
Here you go.
Hi, neighbor.
459
00:18:20,433 --> 00:18:21,642
Please enjoy.
460
00:18:23,811 --> 00:18:26,522
Oh, you're welcome.
461
00:18:26,522 --> 00:18:27,481
Do you have one there for me?
462
00:18:27,481 --> 00:18:28,566
Yes, here you go!
463
00:18:28,566 --> 00:18:30,610
‐Thank you.
‐Perfect.
464
00:18:30,610 --> 00:18:32,737
So you and your husband
are in 42?
465
00:18:32,737 --> 00:18:34,614
‐Oh, no!
‐We're not...
466
00:18:34,614 --> 00:18:36,490
‐He's not my husband.
‐I don't live here.
467
00:18:36,490 --> 00:18:38,242
‐I live here, he doesn't.
‐I'm somewhere‐‐
468
00:18:38,242 --> 00:18:40,077
We're just working together.
469
00:18:40,077 --> 00:18:41,829
Mm!
470
00:18:41,829 --> 00:18:43,873
So, did you see any of this
being set up, or...
471
00:18:43,873 --> 00:18:44,957
Mm‐mm.
472
00:18:44,957 --> 00:18:46,042
I was out
Christmas shopping all day,
473
00:18:46,042 --> 00:18:47,501
but I did see
474
00:18:47,501 --> 00:18:49,253
a couple of white vans pull away
just as I got home.
475
00:18:49,253 --> 00:18:50,796
Oh.
476
00:18:50,796 --> 00:18:53,466
Good night, Sue.
477
00:18:53,466 --> 00:18:54,842
Good night, John.
478
00:18:56,052 --> 00:18:58,095
Thanks again for
the hot chocolate, Sydney.
479
00:18:58,095 --> 00:18:59,347
‐Night, Beth.
‐Good night.
480
00:19:02,600 --> 00:19:05,645
So? This went over pretty well.
481
00:19:05,645 --> 00:19:07,438
Oh, it was great.
482
00:19:07,438 --> 00:19:10,816
You have become better neighbors
with my neighbors than I have.
483
00:19:10,816 --> 00:19:12,234
[laughs]
484
00:19:12,234 --> 00:19:13,819
I gotta get Ollie to bed.
485
00:19:13,819 --> 00:19:16,280
Plus, you and I have
a big story to write.
486
00:19:16,280 --> 00:19:17,615
Hey, I was thinking about that.
487
00:19:17,615 --> 00:19:20,534
Um... why don't you
take this one?
488
00:19:20,534 --> 00:19:22,078
Seriously?
489
00:19:22,078 --> 00:19:23,454
Yeah. Why not?
490
00:19:23,454 --> 00:19:24,705
I've just never
met a reporter
491
00:19:24,705 --> 00:19:26,540
who was willing
to give up their story.
492
00:19:26,540 --> 00:19:29,210
Well, it's kind of our story,
if you think about it.
493
00:19:30,753 --> 00:19:32,171
And, um, I was wondering,
494
00:19:32,171 --> 00:19:35,007
maybe we could, uh,
maybe we could work together.
495
00:19:35,007 --> 00:19:36,133
Like partners?
496
00:19:36,133 --> 00:19:37,468
Yeah.
497
00:19:37,468 --> 00:19:39,428
You know,
two minds are better than one.
498
00:19:39,428 --> 00:19:41,013
And we would share the credit.
499
00:19:41,013 --> 00:19:43,891
Or I could be
like a silent partner.
500
00:19:43,891 --> 00:19:46,268
I've never really been big
on taking the credit.
501
00:19:46,268 --> 00:19:48,479
I just do this job
because I love it,
502
00:19:48,479 --> 00:19:50,314
and I remember my mom
kind of juggling
503
00:19:50,314 --> 00:19:52,108
starting up a business
504
00:19:52,108 --> 00:19:53,776
and being a single parent.
505
00:19:53,776 --> 00:19:55,820
I‐‐ I just know,
I know it's tough.
506
00:19:55,820 --> 00:19:58,114
Plus, it's Christmas, so...
507
00:19:58,114 --> 00:19:59,240
[they both chuckle]
508
00:19:59,240 --> 00:20:00,783
What do you say?
509
00:20:00,783 --> 00:20:02,451
All right... partner.
510
00:20:04,078 --> 00:20:05,204
All right, partner.
511
00:20:07,790 --> 00:20:09,458
‐Good night.
‐Good night.
512
00:20:13,879 --> 00:20:15,089
[reporter] Poinsettias
dancing above Chicago
513
00:20:15,089 --> 00:20:16,424
caused quite a buzz,
514
00:20:16,424 --> 00:20:19,135
thanks to the city's
very own Secret Santa,
515
00:20:19,135 --> 00:20:21,846
as people look to the skies
at a glance of Christmas.
516
00:20:21,846 --> 00:20:24,640
This floor houses
our creative department.
517
00:20:24,640 --> 00:20:26,517
Basically,
it's a room full of elves
518
00:20:26,517 --> 00:20:30,438
who come up with ideas
for new Christmas decorations.
519
00:20:30,438 --> 00:20:33,691
This year, we're launching
our "Silent Night" collection.
520
00:20:33,691 --> 00:20:35,401
Classic ornamental balls
521
00:20:35,401 --> 00:20:37,695
with words
of Christmas inspiration.
522
00:20:37,695 --> 00:20:39,280
I would like a percentage
523
00:20:39,280 --> 00:20:41,365
of these sales
and of all of decoration sales
524
00:20:41,365 --> 00:20:42,450
to go towards your charity.
525
00:20:42,450 --> 00:20:43,826
Wow.
526
00:20:43,826 --> 00:20:45,119
I don't know what to say.
527
00:20:45,119 --> 00:20:47,413
I mean, you're the country's
largest manufacturer
528
00:20:47,413 --> 00:20:50,082
of Christmas decorations,
so that would mean...
529
00:20:50,082 --> 00:20:52,042
[chuckles] Well, I don't know
what that would mean,
530
00:20:52,042 --> 00:20:54,128
but I do know
it's very generous.
531
00:20:54,128 --> 00:20:56,255
If it wasn't for charities
like Mothers in Arms,
532
00:20:56,255 --> 00:20:57,590
my own mother would never
have been able
533
00:20:57,590 --> 00:20:59,341
to start up this business
534
00:20:59,341 --> 00:21:00,926
and let it succeed
the way that she did.
535
00:21:00,926 --> 00:21:02,219
Thanks, Mr. Hauer.
536
00:21:02,219 --> 00:21:04,054
And if we can help in any way‐‐
537
00:21:04,054 --> 00:21:06,348
publish your story
in the next brochure or...
538
00:21:06,348 --> 00:21:07,933
No. No, I would‐‐
I would actually prefer
539
00:21:07,933 --> 00:21:10,019
to keep this just between myself
and your organization,
540
00:21:10,019 --> 00:21:10,936
if that's all right.
541
00:21:10,936 --> 00:21:12,521
Of course.
542
00:21:12,521 --> 00:21:15,441
Great. I'll have my legal team
do up the appropriate paperwork.
543
00:21:15,441 --> 00:21:17,109
Thank you.
544
00:21:17,109 --> 00:21:18,068
Merry Christmas.
545
00:21:18,068 --> 00:21:19,028
‐Merry Christmas.
‐Merry Christmas.
546
00:21:19,028 --> 00:21:21,489
[chuckling]
547
00:21:22,782 --> 00:21:24,116
[Howard]
The meeting went well?
548
00:21:24,116 --> 00:21:25,993
It did.
549
00:21:25,993 --> 00:21:28,662
I just hope
that we can keep our anonymity.
550
00:21:28,662 --> 00:21:30,915
Well, looks like
you're managing so far.
551
00:21:30,915 --> 00:21:32,750
That light show
the other night...
552
00:21:32,750 --> 00:21:33,918
you raised the bar.
553
00:21:33,918 --> 00:21:35,169
Well, the best part of it,
Howard,
554
00:21:35,169 --> 00:21:36,629
was that she got it‐‐
555
00:21:36,629 --> 00:21:39,173
this journalist, she understands
what we're trying to do.
556
00:21:39,173 --> 00:21:40,800
The only problem is
557
00:21:40,800 --> 00:21:42,468
that her boss wants
the full story.
558
00:21:42,468 --> 00:21:44,595
But that's okay,
559
00:21:44,595 --> 00:21:46,180
because I know
how I'm gonna help her.
560
00:21:46,180 --> 00:21:49,099
I'm sorry... "help her"?
561
00:21:49,099 --> 00:21:50,601
Yeah.
562
00:21:50,601 --> 00:21:52,102
Get the job she needs
at the network.
563
00:21:52,102 --> 00:21:54,438
And how do you plan
to pull that off,
564
00:21:54,438 --> 00:21:57,191
being as your plate
is a bit full?
565
00:21:57,191 --> 00:21:58,567
By working with her.
566
00:21:58,567 --> 00:22:00,486
I'm gonna give her clues
567
00:22:00,486 --> 00:22:02,321
on where the Secret Santa's
gonna strike next,
568
00:22:02,321 --> 00:22:04,406
therefore giving her
the jump on the story.
569
00:22:04,406 --> 00:22:07,993
And I'm guessing you can't
just tell her who you are
570
00:22:07,993 --> 00:22:09,119
and what you're planning next?
571
00:22:09,119 --> 00:22:10,204
No, because I would
572
00:22:10,204 --> 00:22:13,040
have to insist
that she stays quiet,
573
00:22:13,040 --> 00:22:15,167
and that would compromise
her integrity as a journalist.
574
00:22:15,167 --> 00:22:16,585
Well...
575
00:22:16,585 --> 00:22:19,463
she seems to be
a special lady,
576
00:22:19,463 --> 00:22:21,799
if you're going
to all that trouble.
577
00:22:21,799 --> 00:22:23,008
Is she?
578
00:22:23,008 --> 00:22:24,009
Yeah, Howard...
579
00:22:24,009 --> 00:22:25,636
It's not like that.
580
00:22:25,636 --> 00:22:26,971
You have to see
581
00:22:26,971 --> 00:22:29,265
the way the woman is
with her son.
582
00:22:29,265 --> 00:22:31,225
It... it reminds me
583
00:22:31,225 --> 00:22:32,810
of how my mom and I
used to be.
584
00:22:32,810 --> 00:22:34,520
Well,
585
00:22:34,520 --> 00:22:38,065
it's nice to see that her spirit
lives on in you like that.
586
00:22:39,900 --> 00:22:41,443
Now, I have, uh,
587
00:22:41,443 --> 00:22:44,238
I've cleared your schedule
for the rest of the afternoon
588
00:22:44,238 --> 00:22:48,033
so we can tackle your employee
Christmas wish‐list.
589
00:22:48,033 --> 00:22:51,579
Right, um, the only problem
with that is,
590
00:22:51,579 --> 00:22:53,873
I don't know...
591
00:22:53,873 --> 00:22:56,208
...where the list is.
Perfect. Thank you.
592
00:22:56,208 --> 00:22:58,961
Yeah, I didn't see
my name on there.
593
00:22:58,961 --> 00:23:00,337
Does that mean that my gift
594
00:23:00,337 --> 00:23:02,673
requires its own page
unto itself?
595
00:23:04,174 --> 00:23:06,760
Not really part of the spirit,
there, Howard.
596
00:23:06,760 --> 00:23:09,930
No, but I can try, can't I?
597
00:23:13,726 --> 00:23:15,394
Mathew in my class
kept on bragging
598
00:23:15,394 --> 00:23:18,814
that he has a new giant
blow‐up Santa on his lawn.
599
00:23:18,814 --> 00:23:19,940
Now I can tell him
600
00:23:19,940 --> 00:23:22,192
that the Secret Santa
was on my street.
601
00:23:22,192 --> 00:23:25,237
Well, make sure
you're not bragging back,
602
00:23:25,237 --> 00:23:26,822
because I don't think that's why
the Secret Santa did it.
603
00:23:26,822 --> 00:23:29,199
[Oliver] Why does he do it?
604
00:23:29,199 --> 00:23:31,535
I think to make us feel good.
605
00:23:31,535 --> 00:23:33,162
Maybe remind us
during the holidays
606
00:23:33,162 --> 00:23:34,330
to take a little time
607
00:23:34,330 --> 00:23:36,165
to, you know, decorate,
608
00:23:36,165 --> 00:23:38,250
and visit a neighbor...
609
00:23:38,250 --> 00:23:39,460
or both.
610
00:23:39,460 --> 00:23:40,920
What do you think?
611
00:23:40,920 --> 00:23:42,379
I think it worked.
612
00:23:42,379 --> 00:23:44,882
'Cause yesterday,
everyone was smiling.
613
00:23:44,882 --> 00:23:47,635
Especially when
you made the hot chocolates.
614
00:23:47,635 --> 00:23:49,553
Well, maybe I should do it
more often, then, huh?
615
00:23:50,763 --> 00:23:52,139
[phone rings]
616
00:23:53,682 --> 00:23:54,767
Hello?
617
00:23:54,767 --> 00:23:57,186
Sydney. Hey, it's Cole.
618
00:23:57,186 --> 00:23:58,437
Hey, what's going on?
619
00:23:58,437 --> 00:24:00,648
I got a tip on the Santa.
620
00:24:00,648 --> 00:24:02,066
Really? What is it?
621
00:24:02,066 --> 00:24:03,692
Listen,
it might just be a bust,
622
00:24:03,692 --> 00:24:05,819
but can you meet me at
the community center on Park
623
00:24:05,819 --> 00:24:06,820
as soon as you can?
624
00:24:06,820 --> 00:24:08,113
I'll grab Ollie
625
00:24:08,113 --> 00:24:09,865
and we'll meet you there
right away.
626
00:24:09,865 --> 00:24:12,117
All right. Great. Thanks.
627
00:24:14,370 --> 00:24:16,080
Ollie, sweetie,
get dressed as fast as you can.
628
00:24:16,080 --> 00:24:17,498
‐Why?
‐I'll tell you on the way.
629
00:24:17,498 --> 00:24:19,541
[laughing]
630
00:24:19,541 --> 00:24:21,126
[reporter] Only two more
shopping weekends left
631
00:24:21,126 --> 00:24:22,461
until Christmas,
632
00:24:22,461 --> 00:24:23,837
and the city is already
jammed with shoppers.
633
00:24:25,464 --> 00:24:27,341
[children laughing]
634
00:24:28,926 --> 00:24:30,970
[♪♪♪]
635
00:24:32,471 --> 00:24:34,264
[gasping]
636
00:24:34,264 --> 00:24:35,975
Look!
‐Yay!
637
00:24:35,975 --> 00:24:38,435
Come on, honey.
638
00:24:38,435 --> 00:24:40,688
[♪♪♪]
639
00:24:46,151 --> 00:24:48,028
Whoa!
640
00:24:48,028 --> 00:24:50,781
[laughing] Wow.
641
00:24:50,781 --> 00:24:52,032
[Cole] Look at this!
642
00:24:52,032 --> 00:24:54,201
What is going on?
643
00:24:54,201 --> 00:24:57,955
I don't know, but I think
you‐know‐who's involved.
644
00:24:57,955 --> 00:24:59,415
I just got a feeling.
645
00:24:59,415 --> 00:25:00,666
You ever get one of those?
646
00:25:01,959 --> 00:25:03,168
Yeah.
647
00:25:03,168 --> 00:25:04,670
Yeah, I do.
648
00:25:04,670 --> 00:25:07,297
I have a kind of intuition,
I can kind of "see" things,
649
00:25:07,297 --> 00:25:08,841
like the unusual
in the ordinary,
650
00:25:08,841 --> 00:25:10,175
that sort of thing.
651
00:25:10,175 --> 00:25:12,761
Of course, you're a journalist,
that's your gift.
652
00:25:12,761 --> 00:25:13,971
Me, on the other hand,
653
00:25:13,971 --> 00:25:15,597
I got a tip
from a friend of mine
654
00:25:15,597 --> 00:25:17,516
who has a snowplowing company.
655
00:25:17,516 --> 00:25:20,686
He said he got an order
to drop off a ton of snow...
656
00:25:20,686 --> 00:25:22,146
here.
‐Hey!
657
00:25:22,146 --> 00:25:24,356
Hey!
658
00:25:24,356 --> 00:25:26,316
Hey, where did
all this snow come from?
659
00:25:26,316 --> 00:25:27,693
This is a community center!
660
00:25:27,693 --> 00:25:30,404
I think
it was the Secret Santa.
661
00:25:30,404 --> 00:25:31,822
Oh, was it?
662
00:25:31,822 --> 00:25:33,699
[stammers]
It could've been. Yeah.
663
00:25:33,699 --> 00:25:37,870
I don't care who he was,
he's blocking access.
664
00:25:37,870 --> 00:25:39,538
What does this guy think
he's doing, anyhow?
665
00:25:39,538 --> 00:25:43,417
I know. He made
a toboggan slide. Look!
666
00:25:43,417 --> 00:25:44,960
Mom, can I try it?
667
00:25:44,960 --> 00:25:46,920
I think the Secret Santa
would want you to.
668
00:25:46,920 --> 00:25:47,963
[Oliver] Yay!
669
00:25:47,963 --> 00:25:49,048
Hey, I don't think you should!
670
00:25:49,048 --> 00:25:50,299
Yeah, it'll be fine.
671
00:25:50,299 --> 00:25:51,925
Here, here.
I'll get it.
672
00:25:51,925 --> 00:25:53,719
Get on that?
‐Got it?
673
00:25:53,719 --> 00:25:55,095
‐You good?
‐Yeah.
674
00:25:55,095 --> 00:25:56,513
Here we go. One...
675
00:25:56,513 --> 00:25:57,681
two...
676
00:25:57,681 --> 00:25:59,058
three!
677
00:25:59,058 --> 00:26:00,225
Woo!
678
00:26:00,225 --> 00:26:02,269
Aah! Woo!
679
00:26:02,269 --> 00:26:04,271
Whoa, that was so fun.
680
00:26:04,271 --> 00:26:06,106
Mommy, can we do it again?
681
00:26:06,106 --> 00:26:08,442
Yes! Absolutely.
682
00:26:09,610 --> 00:26:11,904
Look at this.
683
00:26:13,906 --> 00:26:17,409
In what appears to be
an impromptu toboggan hill,
684
00:26:17,409 --> 00:26:19,870
courtesy of Chicago's
own Secret Santa,
685
00:26:19,870 --> 00:26:22,122
both kids and parents alike
686
00:26:22,122 --> 00:26:24,166
are forgoing their shopping
and to‐do lists
687
00:26:24,166 --> 00:26:26,210
for some pre‐Christmas fun.
688
00:26:26,210 --> 00:26:28,003
Sir?
689
00:26:28,003 --> 00:26:30,005
What were you
planning on doing today?
690
00:26:30,005 --> 00:26:31,840
I was gonna
tackle my Christmas list.
691
00:26:31,840 --> 00:26:33,634
And would it
have occurred to you
692
00:26:33,634 --> 00:26:35,385
to go tobogganing instead?
693
00:26:35,385 --> 00:26:37,596
Heck, no, we had
way too much to do.
694
00:26:37,596 --> 00:26:40,015
But, you know,
seeing their faces...
695
00:26:40,015 --> 00:26:41,725
Maybe I need to make the time.
696
00:26:41,725 --> 00:26:44,061
Thank you.
697
00:26:44,061 --> 00:26:46,939
Taking the time
during the holidays‐‐
698
00:26:46,939 --> 00:26:49,108
that's the story,
right here,
699
00:26:49,108 --> 00:26:52,361
and something we should all
make a point of.
700
00:26:53,612 --> 00:26:54,696
‐Great.
‐What did you think?
701
00:26:54,696 --> 00:26:56,532
‐Amazing.
‐Let me see.
702
00:26:58,951 --> 00:27:00,285
‐[clearing throat]
‐Andy! Hi.
703
00:27:00,285 --> 00:27:01,495
Hi.
704
00:27:01,495 --> 00:27:03,247
Sorry, you're too late.
705
00:27:03,247 --> 00:27:05,124
I already got the story.
706
00:27:05,124 --> 00:27:07,084
Or should I say
we already got the story.
707
00:27:07,084 --> 00:27:08,168
Oh yeah?
708
00:27:08,168 --> 00:27:09,962
And, uh, you are‐‐?
709
00:27:09,962 --> 00:27:12,256
Uh, I'm Cole Howard.
710
00:27:12,256 --> 00:27:13,799
You a freelancer?
711
00:27:13,799 --> 00:27:15,551
Yes, sir.
712
00:27:15,551 --> 00:27:16,844
Haven't seen you around.
713
00:27:16,844 --> 00:27:19,346
I have been around.
714
00:27:19,346 --> 00:27:20,264
Not, like, here,
715
00:27:20,264 --> 00:27:23,058
but...
you know, been around.
716
00:27:23,058 --> 00:27:25,477
Well, don't get
too excited, Syd,
717
00:27:25,477 --> 00:27:27,813
'cause I'm still gonna find
that Secret Santa.
718
00:27:27,813 --> 00:27:30,691
And that story will blow

00:34:21,351 --> 00:34:22,602
Depends.
897
00:34:22,602 --> 00:34:24,437
Do you have any more info
on our secret Santa?
898
00:34:24,437 --> 00:34:25,855
[Cole] Uh, no.
899
00:34:25,855 --> 00:34:27,107
Not at the moment,
900
00:34:27,107 --> 00:34:28,400
but I am working on
another story
901
00:34:28,400 --> 00:34:29,901
that I think that
we should follow up on.
902
00:34:29,901 --> 00:34:32,320
I'm calling it
"Project: Lights."
903
00:34:32,320 --> 00:34:33,321
Sounds intriguing.
904
00:34:33,321 --> 00:34:34,990
So...
905
00:34:34,990 --> 00:34:37,575
are you good to meet
at your place in about an hour?
906
00:34:37,575 --> 00:34:39,661
Actually, Ollie's being
dropped off after hockey,
907
00:34:39,661 --> 00:34:40,870
so that's perfect.
908
00:34:40,870 --> 00:34:41,997
All right, great.
I'll see you then.
909
00:34:46,793 --> 00:34:48,044
Merry Christmas.
910
00:34:48,044 --> 00:34:50,505
[♪♪♪]
911
00:34:51,798 --> 00:34:53,883
James. Good work.
912
00:34:53,883 --> 00:34:56,177
Dana! Loving those sparkles.
913
00:34:58,221 --> 00:35:00,098
Oh, uh, do we have
another box of these?
914
00:35:00,098 --> 00:35:02,684
Can somebody bring it up
to my office, please?
915
00:35:02,684 --> 00:35:04,185
Thanks.
Good work, everybody!
916

[♪♪♪]
917
00:35:10,984 --> 00:35:12,110
[Sydney] Hey!
918
00:35:12,110 --> 00:35:13,695
What's all this?
919
00:35:13,695 --> 00:35:15,113
"Project: Lights."
920
00:35:15,113 --> 00:35:16,656
You said
that you were too busy
921
00:35:16,656 --> 00:35:19,159
to put all your outdoor
Christmas decorations up,
922
00:35:19,159 --> 00:35:21,328
so I thought, two hands
are better than one.
923
00:35:21,328 --> 00:35:22,829
What do you say?
924
00:35:22,829 --> 00:35:25,165
[chuckles] Okay.
925
00:35:25,165 --> 00:35:26,041
Come on in.
926
00:35:30,420 --> 00:35:31,713
[reporter] ...from handing out
Christmas cakes
927
00:35:31,713 --> 00:35:34,174
to impromptu tobogganing,
928
00:35:34,174 --> 00:35:36,092
Chicago's Secret Santa
has the whole city
929
00:35:36,092 --> 00:35:38,011
talking about
"What will he do next?"
930
00:35:38,011 --> 00:35:40,096
You are surprisingly good
at this.
931
00:35:40,096 --> 00:35:42,807
Aw... thanks.
932
00:35:42,807 --> 00:35:44,643
In high school, I was
on the decorating committee.
933
00:35:44,643 --> 00:35:45,977
Really?
934
00:35:45,977 --> 00:35:48,146
Yeah. Well, every year,
935
00:35:48,146 --> 00:35:50,148
we did a production
of A Christmas Carol, so...
936
00:35:50,148 --> 00:35:51,983
that's what you're getting.
937
00:35:51,983 --> 00:35:53,860
Hmm.
938
00:35:53,860 --> 00:35:55,695
Let me guess.
939
00:35:55,695 --> 00:35:57,530
Yearbook committee?
940
00:35:57,530 --> 00:35:58,990
How did you know that?
941
00:35:58,990 --> 00:36:02,202
I told you,
I got that intuition.
942
00:36:02,202 --> 00:36:04,537
Well, I hope that intuition
leads me
943
00:36:04,537 --> 00:36:06,706
to where the Secret Santa's
gonna strike next,
944
00:36:06,706 --> 00:36:08,583
'cause Perry's starting
to really understand
945
00:36:08,583 --> 00:36:11,252
that this is a leading story,
which is good for me.
946
00:36:12,671 --> 00:36:14,005
Shall we hit it?
947
00:36:14,005 --> 00:36:15,340
Yes, let's do it.
948
00:36:15,340 --> 00:36:17,342
Actually, you know what?
Why don't you do the honors?
949
00:36:17,342 --> 00:36:19,177
I would love to.
950
00:36:20,220 --> 00:36:21,429
Thank you.
951
00:36:21,429 --> 00:36:23,306
Oh, uh, drum roll.
952
00:36:23,306 --> 00:36:24,307
Oh.
953
00:36:24,307 --> 00:36:26,226
[both imitating drums rolling]

[Sydney gasps]
956
00:36:30,355 --> 00:36:32,440
Aw.
957
00:36:32,440 --> 00:36:34,859
I would say "Project: Lights"
is a success.
958
00:36:34,859 --> 00:36:36,194
[chuckling]
959
00:36:36,194 --> 00:36:39,155
Yeah, we make
a pretty good team, I think.
960
00:36:39,155 --> 00:36:42,200
Wow!
Nice decorations, neighbors.
961
00:36:42,200 --> 00:36:43,243
Thank you.
962
00:36:43,243 --> 00:36:44,494
Thanks, Beth.
963
00:36:45,954 --> 00:36:47,706
I didn't bother correcting her.
964
00:36:47,706 --> 00:36:49,457
She had the groceries, and...
965
00:36:49,457 --> 00:36:51,042
Uh, she knows
that I don't live here, so...
966
00:36:51,042 --> 00:36:53,628
[♪♪♪]
967
00:36:53,628 --> 00:36:55,922
Uh, there's Ollie.
968
00:36:57,215 --> 00:36:59,092
Thanks, Kelly.
969
00:36:59,092 --> 00:37:00,969
Hey, honey.
970
00:37:00,969 --> 00:37:03,513
Whoa! Did the Secret Santa
come again?
971
00:37:03,513 --> 00:37:04,681
No.
972
00:37:04,681 --> 00:37:07,016
That was me and Cole.
Do you like it?
973
00:37:07,016 --> 00:37:10,019
Yeah!
It's the most Christmassy ever!
974
00:37:10,019 --> 00:37:11,604
I think so too.
975
00:37:11,604 --> 00:37:13,148
How was hockey practice?
976
00:37:13,148 --> 00:37:15,483
It was great,
but I'm starving.
977
00:37:15,483 --> 00:37:17,444
Okay, why don't you get inside,
get washed up,
978
00:37:17,444 --> 00:37:18,319
and I'll start dinner.
979
00:37:21,906 --> 00:37:23,616
Thanks, Cole,
980
00:37:23,616 --> 00:37:25,660
for decorating the house.
981
00:37:25,660 --> 00:37:27,287
Oh, no problem, buddy.
I'm glad you like it.
982
00:37:32,459 --> 00:37:34,711
Well, I should probably
get dinner started.
983
00:37:34,711 --> 00:37:37,088
Did you want to stay, or...
984
00:37:37,088 --> 00:37:40,258
It's probably just gonna be
frozen pizza tonight.
985
00:37:40,258 --> 00:37:43,428
I‐‐ thank you,
but I should probably...
986
00:37:43,428 --> 00:37:45,430
I just have some work
I have to do, so...
987
00:37:45,430 --> 00:37:46,681
Okay.
988
00:37:48,433 --> 00:37:50,894
Although, you know,
I do love frozen pizza,
989
00:37:50,894 --> 00:37:52,771
and, uh...
990
00:37:52,771 --> 00:37:55,732
burgers, street food,
you know...
991
00:37:55,732 --> 00:37:57,108
Oh.
992
00:37:57,108 --> 00:37:58,651
I actually know the best place
to get street food
993
00:37:58,651 --> 00:38:01,029
in the city
around this time of year.
994
00:38:01,029 --> 00:38:02,405
Really? Where's that?
995
00:38:02,405 --> 00:38:03,865
Why don't you meet me tomorrow?

00:38:06,451 --> 00:38:08,578
It's my treat.
We can talk about...

00:38:08,578 --> 00:38:12,123
Secret Santa strategies
or whatever.

Thank you... for all of this.

It was so worth it

to see Ollie's face
light up like that.
1007
00:38:29,015 --> 00:38:30,683

why are you so happy
this morning?
1013
00:38:51,663 --> 00:38:53,706
Is it 'cause
it's almost Christmas?

You know what?
1015
00:38:55,333 --> 00:38:58,002
I am happy
because it's almost Christmas.

Let's get going,

What is this?
1021
00:39:10,640 --> 00:39:12,225
I told you!
1022
00:39:12,225 --> 00:39:15,228
This is the best street food
in the city this time of year.
1023
00:39:15,228 --> 00:39:17,522
Those are...
1024
00:39:17,522 --> 00:39:19,232
waffles made out of stuffing
1025
00:39:19,232 --> 00:39:21,234

topped with gravy.
1026
00:39:22,569 --> 00:39:23,611
‐Wow.
‐Mm‐hmm.
1027
00:39:23,611 --> 00:39:25,363
What, no cranberry sauce?
1028
00:39:25,363 --> 00:39:26,406
Oh...
1029
00:39:26,406 --> 00:39:27,949
But of course.
1030
00:39:27,949 --> 00:39:30,201
Ho, ho, ho. I see.
1031
00:39:30,201 --> 00:39:31,870
Woo!
1032
00:39:31,870 --> 00:39:33,580
There's no way I'm gonna
eat this all myself.
1033
00:39:33,580 --> 00:39:35,999
Yeah, that was the plan.
1034
00:39:35,999 --> 00:39:38,918
‐Oh, thank you.
‐That's yours.
1035

Oh, okay, uh, me first?
1036
00:39:40,336 --> 00:39:42,088
Yes.
1037
00:39:45,216 --> 00:39:46,259
That tastes like

00:39:46,259 --> 00:39:47,677
Christmas dinner
all in one bite.
1039
00:39:47,677 --> 00:39:49,721

‐Oh. No.
1042
00:39:54,767 --> 00:39:56,769
Nothing. Sorry.
There's just a speaker up there.
1043
00:39:58,229 --> 00:40:01,024
I'm sure it's just left over
from a music festival
1044
00:40:01,024 --> 00:40:02,400
or Oktoberfest
or something.
1045
00:40:02,400 --> 00:40:04,277
Okay, look, I think
that we should
1046
00:40:04,277 --> 00:40:06,321
put our heads together
and brainstorm ideas
1047
00:40:06,321 --> 00:40:07,906
that represent Christmas
to us.
1048
00:40:07,906 --> 00:40:08,781
Ah!
1049
00:40:08,781 --> 00:40:09,991
Like food.
1050
00:40:09,991 --> 00:40:12,785
Um, although he already did
the baked hams
1051
00:40:12,785 --> 00:40:13,870
and the Christmas cakes.
1052
00:40:13,870 --> 00:40:15,079
So, what do you think?
1053
00:40:15,079 --> 00:40:16,456
Next, he's gonna drop
turkeys from the sky?
1054
00:40:16,456 --> 00:40:17,957
[chuckles] Yeah.
1055
00:40:19,417 --> 00:40:20,376
No.
‐No.

00:40:20,376 --> 00:40:22,503
No, no, no.
1057
00:40:22,503 --> 00:40:23,880
You see, when I think
about Christmas,
1058
00:40:23,880 --> 00:40:26,090
I think about, like,
friends, and family,
1059
00:40:26,090 --> 00:40:27,926
although...
1060
00:40:27,926 --> 00:40:29,677
he kinda already did that
with the tobogganing
1061
00:40:29,677 --> 00:40:31,679
and the decorating
with the poinsettias.
1062
00:40:31,679 --> 00:40:33,264
Mm‐hmm. Yeah. Right.
1063
00:40:33,264 --> 00:40:34,766
So what else is there?
1064
00:40:34,766 --> 00:40:36,893
Well, let's see.
1065
00:40:36,893 --> 00:40:38,770
There's gift‐wrapping.
‐Yeah.
1066
00:40:38,770 --> 00:40:40,271
Or mistletoe.
1067
00:40:40,271 --> 00:40:42,607
Or jingle bells.
1068
00:40:42,607 --> 00:40:44,525
Or...
1069
00:40:44,525 --> 00:40:47,320
J... "Jingle Bells."
Music.
1070
00:40:47,320 --> 00:40:49,322
No, that's it.
1071
00:40:49,322 --> 00:40:50,615
I don't think
that these speakers
1072
00:40:50,615 --> 00:40:52,742
are left over from anything.
1073
00:40:52,742 --> 00:40:54,911
Okay, there are
no cords on them,
1074
00:40:54,911 --> 00:40:56,829
which means
they are Bluetooth,
1075

it would help raise the spirit.

00:47:55,664 --> 00:47:56,832
Yes!
1251
00:47:56,832 --> 00:47:58,376
Yes! We'll even
ask Grandma to help.
1252
00:47:58,376 --> 00:47:59,877
How's that sound?
1253
00:47:59,877 --> 00:48:01,253
That sounds amazing.
1254
00:48:01,253 --> 00:48:03,506
Oh, good.
Goodnight, bud.
1255
00:48:03,506 --> 00:48:04,423
Mm. [kissing]
1256
00:48:04,423 --> 00:48:07,051
‐Love you.
‐Love you too.
1257
00:48:07,051 --> 00:48:08,219
Good night, Mommy.
1258
00:48:12,598 --> 00:48:14,183
Did you hear it?
1259
00:48:14,183 --> 00:48:15,893
[Lauren] Hear it?
1260
00:48:15,893 --> 00:48:18,604
Oliver thought
it was angels singing.
1261
00:48:18,604 --> 00:48:20,689
I mean, when do the sounds
of the city ever stop
1262
00:48:20,689 --> 00:48:22,983
in place of
Christmas carols being sung?
1263
00:48:22,983 --> 00:48:25,403
It was Cole's idea to get
everyone to sing along.
1264
00:48:25,403 --> 00:48:26,404
Well, he's quite a character.
1265
00:48:26,404 --> 00:48:28,781
He is.
1266
00:48:28,781 --> 00:48:29,698
[laughing]
1267
00:48:29,698 --> 00:48:31,575
So you're not jaded anymore?
1268
00:48:31,575 --> 00:48:33,077
Maybe not.
1269
00:48:33,077 --> 00:48:37,206
Oh! Come on.
Mothers know.
1270
00:48:37,206 --> 00:48:38,916
It was just brilliant.
1271
00:48:38,916 --> 00:48:41,460
So my timing
on the music was all right?
1272
00:48:41,460 --> 00:48:42,878
Actually...
1273
00:48:42,878 --> 00:48:45,089
Yeah, you know what?
It was‐‐ It was perfect.
1274
00:48:45,089 --> 00:48:46,382
‐Really?
‐Yeah.
1275
00:48:46,382 --> 00:48:48,384
You're sure
I didn't interrupt something?
1276
00:48:48,384 --> 00:48:50,261
No, no, everything is going
exactly to plan.
1277
00:48:50,261 --> 00:48:53,264
In fact, Sydney's boss is gonna
lead with her story,
1278
00:48:53,264 --> 00:48:55,683
so fingers crossed,
a permanent job offer follows.
1279
00:48:55,683 --> 00:48:57,226
So what's the next plan?
1280
00:48:57,226 --> 00:48:58,894
No plan.
1281
00:48:58,894 --> 00:49:01,272
Once this is finished,
my work is complete.
1282
00:49:01,272 --> 00:49:03,858
Unless, of course,
there's a plan "B".
1283
00:49:07,319 --> 00:49:09,488
[reporter] The city broke out
into the sounds of Christmas
1284
00:49:09,488 --> 00:49:11,157
when, once again,
1285
00:49:11,157 --> 00:49:12,867
our Secret Santa
brought us together,
1286
00:49:12,867 --> 00:49:16,412
reminding us of the true spirit
of Christmas.
1287
00:49:16,412 --> 00:49:18,289
‐Morning!
‐Morning.
1288
00:49:18,289 --> 00:49:20,541
Congratulations
on your top story.
1289
00:49:20,541 --> 00:49:22,626
Thank you, Andy.
1290
00:49:22,626 --> 00:49:24,420
Just don't get too excited,
because I got a lead.
1291
00:49:24,420 --> 00:49:25,546
On what?
1292
00:49:25,546 --> 00:49:27,173
Who this Secret Santa is.
1293
00:49:28,966 --> 00:49:31,427
[♪♪♪]
1294
00:49:31,427 --> 00:49:33,053
You must have seen
the interviews.
1295
00:49:33,053 --> 00:49:35,473
I mean,
I can show them to you.
1296
00:49:35,473 --> 00:49:37,975
People don't want to know
who the Secret Santa is.
1297
00:49:37,975 --> 00:49:39,477
It would ruin everything.
1298
00:49:39,477 --> 00:49:42,271
How would having the story
of the season ruin anything?
1299
00:49:42,271 --> 00:49:45,024
Because it's not
in the Christmas spirit.
1300
00:49:45,024 --> 00:49:46,275
Don't you have any?
1301
00:49:46,275 --> 00:49:47,318
I do.
1302
00:49:47,318 --> 00:49:49,111
It comes
in the form of gingerbread.
1303
00:49:49,111 --> 00:49:50,279
Give me a ginger cookie
1304
00:49:50,279 --> 00:49:51,489
or a piece of
a gingerbread house,
1305
00:49:51,489 --> 00:49:54,575
and I'm filled with, uh,
what do they call it?
1306
00:49:54,575 --> 00:49:56,368
Christmas nostalgia.
1307
00:49:56,368 --> 00:49:57,453
What's going on?
1308
00:49:57,453 --> 00:49:58,913
I have a lead
on the Secret Santa.
1309
00:49:58,913 --> 00:50:00,372
But people don't want to know
who that is, Perry.
1310
00:50:00,372 --> 00:50:01,957
You saw that.
1311
00:50:01,957 --> 00:50:04,168
They just want
more random acts,
1312
00:50:04,168 --> 00:50:05,336
more joy,
1313
00:50:05,336 --> 00:50:07,171
more Christmas.
1314
00:50:07,171 --> 00:50:08,589
Sydney's right.
1315
00:50:08,589 --> 00:50:10,132
The story is
these acts of Christmas,
1316
00:50:10,132 --> 00:50:11,509
and we don't want
to be the network Grinch
1317
00:50:11,509 --> 00:50:12,843
who brought an end to it.
1318
00:50:12,843 --> 00:50:14,428
[Andy] Seriously?
1319
00:50:14,428 --> 00:50:15,888
Yeah, she's serious.
1320
00:50:15,888 --> 00:50:17,389
Well, you're making a mistake.
1321
00:50:17,389 --> 00:50:19,183
Because revealing
this Secret Santa
1322
00:50:19,183 --> 00:50:21,060
is the story that'll blow
the rest of it away,
1323
00:50:21,060 --> 00:50:22,061
and as journalists,
1324
00:50:22,061 --> 00:50:23,604
that's what
we should be delivering.
1325
00:50:23,604 --> 00:50:24,855
And I will deliver,
1326
00:50:24,855 --> 00:50:28,234
if not here,
then... another network.
1327
00:50:28,234 --> 00:50:29,485
[Sydney] Andy!
1328
00:50:29,485 --> 00:50:31,737
Have a piece of gingerbread!
1329
00:50:31,737 --> 00:50:33,572
Do you really think
his lead is legitimate?
1330
00:50:33,572 --> 00:50:34,949
Between you and me?
1331
00:50:34,949 --> 00:50:36,909
I hope not.
1332
00:50:43,916 --> 00:50:45,459
[Oliver] Maybe we can
make cinnamon cookies.
1333
00:50:45,459 --> 00:50:47,086
Everyone loves cinnamon.
1334
00:50:47,086 --> 00:50:49,088
Or maybe sugar cookies...
1335
00:50:49,088 --> 00:50:50,422
or maybe both!
1336
00:50:50,422 --> 00:50:52,132
Mommy, what do you think?
1337
00:50:52,132 --> 00:50:54,260
Oh, yeah, we could do that.
1338
00:50:54,260 --> 00:50:56,720
Hey, look. There's Cole!
1339
00:50:59,098 --> 00:51:00,516
Hey, Cole!
1340
00:51:00,516 --> 00:51:02,726
Cole!
1341
00:51:02,726 --> 00:51:04,562
‐Hi!
‐Hey!
1342
00:51:04,562 --> 00:51:06,438
Uh...
‐Whoa!
1343
00:51:06,438 --> 00:51:07,773
Is this your car?
1344
00:51:07,773 --> 00:51:10,025
This car?
Uh, no.
1345
00:51:10,025 --> 00:51:12,152
I, uh, I wish it was.
1346
00:51:12,152 --> 00:51:13,404
Then what are you doing?
1347
00:51:14,989 --> 00:51:16,448
Now, Mr. Howard,
1348
00:51:16,448 --> 00:51:18,242
Mr. Fenton
1349
00:51:18,242 --> 00:51:20,202
does not like
to be kept waiting,
1350
00:51:20,202 --> 00:51:21,996
especially for an interview.
1351
00:51:21,996 --> 00:51:24,123
I've got an interview.
1352
00:51:24,123 --> 00:51:26,584
I'm doing an interview
for another story.
1353
00:51:26,584 --> 00:51:27,751
This is my ride.
1354
00:51:27,751 --> 00:51:28,752
To the interview.
1355
00:51:28,752 --> 00:51:30,170
Oh! That's great.
1356
00:51:30,170 --> 00:51:32,506
Well, we won't keep you waiting,
1357
00:51:32,506 --> 00:51:33,924
but I wanted to tell you
1358
00:51:33,924 --> 00:51:36,635
Andy thinks he'd got
a lead on the Secret Santa.
1359
00:51:36,635 --> 00:51:38,304
Oh, really?
1360
00:51:38,304 --> 00:51:40,514
Um, did he say who it was?
1361
00:51:40,514 --> 00:51:42,933
No, just that
he's gonna break the story.
1362
00:51:42,933 --> 00:51:46,103
But you go, and we can‐‐
we can talk about it later.
1363
00:51:46,103 --> 00:51:47,354
[Oliver] I know!
1364
00:51:47,354 --> 00:51:49,398
Cole, maybe
you can come over.
1365
00:51:49,398 --> 00:51:51,025
You can help us
decorate the tree
1366
00:51:51,025 --> 00:51:53,402
and bake Christmas cookies,
1367
00:51:53,402 --> 00:51:56,238
and then you and Mom
can have a talk.
1368
00:51:56,238 --> 00:51:57,239
Oh, honey,
I don't think Cole‐‐
1369
00:51:57,239 --> 00:51:58,365
You know what?
That's a great idea.
1370
00:51:58,365 --> 00:52:00,909
Thank you.
I'd love to.
1371
00:52:00,909 --> 00:52:02,703
Okay, great.
How about 6:30?
1372
00:52:02,703 --> 00:52:04,038
Sounds great.
1373
00:52:04,038 --> 00:52:05,748
I'll bring some decorations.
1374
00:52:05,748 --> 00:52:07,708
Okay.
Have a good interview!
1375
00:52:07,708 --> 00:52:09,335
‐Bye!
‐Right. Bye!
1376
00:52:16,842 --> 00:52:18,761
That's quick thinking, Howard.
1377
00:52:18,761 --> 00:52:21,138
Although clearly
someone already has a lead.
1378
00:52:21,138 --> 00:52:23,140
You don't think
I've been compromised, do you?
1379
00:52:23,140 --> 00:52:24,642
I don't see how.
1380
00:52:24,642 --> 00:52:27,811
Well, I think I'll just lay low
for a little while.
1381
00:52:27,811 --> 00:52:29,438
Good idea.
1382
00:52:29,438 --> 00:52:32,149
It'll give you time for...
baking.
1383
00:52:32,149 --> 00:52:34,652
[Howard chuckles]
1384
00:52:35,861 --> 00:52:38,405
[♪♪♪]
1385
00:52:43,869 --> 00:52:47,122
So does he have
any more information,
1386
00:52:47,122 --> 00:52:48,540
or is it just
still the one lead?
1387
00:52:48,540 --> 00:52:49,792
That was it.
1388
00:52:49,792 --> 00:52:52,294
[Lauren] Well, you know,
why doesn't everybody
1389
00:52:52,294 --> 00:52:55,047
just let this Secret Santa
remain a secret,
1390
00:52:55,047 --> 00:52:55,923
if that's what he wants?
1391
00:52:55,923 --> 00:52:58,008
I could not agree more.
1392
00:52:59,510 --> 00:53:01,970
Hey, so, uh, the sugar cookies
are your mother's recipe?
1393
00:53:01,970 --> 00:53:04,306
Yeah. Yeah,
believe it or not,
1394
00:53:04,306 --> 00:53:07,101
they were passed down
three generations.
1395
00:53:07,101 --> 00:53:09,603
Well, I hope you don't mind
if I carry on the tradition.
1396
00:53:09,603 --> 00:53:11,772
No, please.
I'd be thrilled.
1397
00:53:12,981 --> 00:53:13,982
Oliver!
1398
00:53:13,982 --> 00:53:15,651
That tree
is looking great, bud.
1399
00:53:15,651 --> 00:53:17,778
Is it time
to decorate the cookies?
1400
00:53:17,778 --> 00:53:19,905
‐I think almost.
‐Okay.
1401
00:53:19,905 --> 00:53:21,949
The decorations
you brought over for the tree
1402
00:53:21,949 --> 00:53:23,492
are beautiful.
1403
00:53:23,492 --> 00:53:25,244
Oh, thanks,
I just grabbed a box
1404
00:53:25,244 --> 00:53:28,247
of whatever decorations
were left over from my own tree.
1405
00:53:28,247 --> 00:53:30,416
You know, Oliver,
1406
00:53:30,416 --> 00:53:31,834
this batch is cool.
1407
00:53:31,834 --> 00:53:33,168
[he gasps]
Come on over.
1408
00:53:33,168 --> 00:53:35,379
‐Ooh, Ollie!
‐Ready to go to work.
1409
00:53:35,379 --> 00:53:37,423
Here you go.
1410
00:53:37,423 --> 00:53:39,341
So what should we
do here, guys?
1411
00:53:39,341 --> 00:53:41,719
Sprinkles, icing,
marshmallows...?
1412
00:53:41,719 --> 00:53:43,095
Green, red...
1413
00:53:43,095 --> 00:53:44,513
How about everything?
1414
00:53:44,513 --> 00:53:45,472
Yeah!
1415
00:53:45,472 --> 00:53:47,433
Ah! Let's do everything.
1416
00:53:47,433 --> 00:53:49,560
All the decorations!
1417
00:53:49,560 --> 00:53:51,061
Oops! Sorry.
1418
00:53:54,857 --> 00:53:57,693
You know,
I think I'm going to go.
1419
00:53:57,693 --> 00:53:59,528
You three seem
to have everything
1420
00:53:59,528 --> 00:54:00,779
perfectly under control.
1421
00:54:00,779 --> 00:54:01,947
‐Oh...
‐Okay?
1422
00:54:01,947 --> 00:54:03,449
Well, thanks for coming over
and helping.
1423
00:54:03,449 --> 00:54:05,451
[Lauren] Oh, gosh,
it was so much fun.
1424
00:54:05,451 --> 00:54:09,121
Oh, yeah, you know what,
give me‐‐ give me a hit of that.
1425
00:54:10,289 --> 00:54:11,498
Mm.
1426
00:54:11,498 --> 00:54:12,541
‐Yum.
‐[laughing]
1427
00:54:12,541 --> 00:54:14,543
You know what, Lauren?
Before you go...
1428
00:54:14,543 --> 00:54:16,920
Please take this,
1429
00:54:16,920 --> 00:54:19,923
and don't worry, I'm gonna
give Sydney the recipe.
1430
00:54:19,923 --> 00:54:22,217
Thank you, Cole.
Really nice to meet you.
1431
00:54:22,217 --> 00:54:23,969
‐The pleasure's all mine.
‐Bye, Grandma.
1432
00:54:23,969 --> 00:54:25,137
Bye. Love you.
1433
00:54:25,137 --> 00:54:26,388
‐Bye, Mom. Love you.
‐Love you.
1434
00:54:26,388 --> 00:54:28,098
‐See you tomorrow.
‐Have fun.
1435
00:54:30,100 --> 00:54:32,311
I think your class is gonna
love these cookies
1436
00:54:32,311 --> 00:54:33,979
for the party.
1437
00:54:33,979 --> 00:54:35,856
I wonder if we can give one
to the class hamster.
1438
00:54:36,899 --> 00:54:37,900
Uh...
1439
00:54:37,900 --> 00:54:39,359
Actually, you know what?
1440
00:54:39,359 --> 00:54:40,986
Oliver, that reminds me
of when I was your age.
1441
00:54:40,986 --> 00:54:43,071
My mom and I, we would make
these Christmas balls,
1442
00:54:43,071 --> 00:54:44,781
and we'd fill 'em full of seeds,
1443
00:54:44,781 --> 00:54:46,200
so then when we went down
to the petting zoo,
1444
00:54:46,200 --> 00:54:48,452
we would give them
to the animals at Christmastime.
1445
00:54:48,452 --> 00:54:49,369
Can we do that?
1446
00:54:51,747 --> 00:54:52,915
[Cole] Yes? Yeah.
1447
00:54:52,915 --> 00:54:54,541
‐Yes.
‐We can. Uh...
1448
00:54:54,541 --> 00:54:58,253
how about tomorrow after school?
1449
00:54:58,253 --> 00:54:59,588
Wow, that sounds great,
doesn't it?
1450
00:54:59,588 --> 00:55:00,506
Yeah.
1451
00:55:00,506 --> 00:55:02,591
You know what, little man?
1452
00:55:02,591 --> 00:55:04,468
With your Christmas party
at school tomorrow
1453
00:55:04,468 --> 00:55:05,469
and now the zoo,
1454
00:55:05,469 --> 00:55:06,762
you got a big day,
1455
00:55:06,762 --> 00:55:08,722
so I think we got to get you
off to bed.
1456
00:55:08,722 --> 00:55:10,098
Wait. I forgot something.
1457
00:55:17,189 --> 00:55:19,107
Here! I made this.
1458
00:55:19,107 --> 00:55:20,317
‐[Cole] For me?
‐Yeah, for you.
1459
00:55:21,527 --> 00:55:23,862
Oh, wow, Oliver.
1460
00:55:23,862 --> 00:55:25,322
I love it!
1461
00:55:25,322 --> 00:55:27,032
Oh.
1462
00:55:27,032 --> 00:55:28,575
Good night, Cole.
1463
00:55:29,743 --> 00:55:31,662
Good night, Oliver.
1464
00:55:33,121 --> 00:55:35,207
Good luck
finding Harold tonight.
1465
00:55:35,207 --> 00:55:36,416
‐Okay.
‐Okay.
1466
00:55:38,335 --> 00:55:40,462
Be back in a bit.
1467
00:55:45,467 --> 00:55:47,135
Okay.
1468
00:55:47,135 --> 00:55:49,179
Get under there.
1469
00:55:54,476 --> 00:55:58,188
Maybe if I get that Skyflier
for Christmas,
1470
00:55:58,188 --> 00:56:00,691
Cole could come over
and try it with me.
1471
00:56:00,691 --> 00:56:02,651
About that...
1472
00:56:02,651 --> 00:56:04,570
I'm sorry,
but I don't know
1473
00:56:04,570 --> 00:56:06,947
if I'm gonna be able to find it
in time for Christmas.
1474
00:56:06,947 --> 00:56:08,615
I'm trying everything,
1475
00:56:08,615 --> 00:56:10,075
but I just don't want you
to be disappointed
1476
00:56:10,075 --> 00:56:11,201
if I can't get it.
1477
00:56:11,201 --> 00:56:12,494
It's okay, Mommy.
1478
00:56:12,494 --> 00:56:14,871
I don't care
if I get it or not,
1479
00:56:14,871 --> 00:56:18,333
because this has already
been the best Christmas ever.
1480
00:56:18,333 --> 00:56:20,168
It really has, hasn't it?
1481
00:56:20,168 --> 00:56:21,086
Yeah, it has.
1482
00:56:22,629 --> 00:56:24,840
‐Good night.
‐Good night, Mom.
1483
00:56:28,719 --> 00:56:30,679
[Sydney laughs]
1484
00:56:30,679 --> 00:56:32,264
You didn't have to do all this!
1485
00:56:32,264 --> 00:56:35,058
Oh, come on, I don't mind.
1486
00:56:35,058 --> 00:56:37,227
So, where was Harold
hiding tonight?
1487
00:56:37,227 --> 00:56:40,689
Harold was hiding
in an old rain boot.
1488
00:56:40,689 --> 00:56:43,400
Ah, Harold.
Classic hiding spot.
1489
00:56:43,400 --> 00:56:44,610
Classic.
1490
00:56:44,610 --> 00:56:45,652
[both chuckling]
1491
00:56:45,652 --> 00:56:46,737
You know, you're right.
1492
00:56:46,737 --> 00:56:48,947
Oliver is, like,
he's like the best kid ever.
1493
00:56:48,947 --> 00:56:49,906
He is, isn't he?
1494
00:56:49,906 --> 00:56:51,575
Yeah.
1495
00:56:51,575 --> 00:56:54,286
Which is why I feel
like the worst mom ever,
1496
00:56:54,286 --> 00:56:56,705
'cause that thing
he wanted for Christmas,
1497
00:56:56,705 --> 00:56:57,873
I didn't get started looking
early enough,
1498
00:56:57,873 --> 00:56:59,499
and now I can't
find it anywhere.
1499
00:56:59,499 --> 00:57:00,417
Oh, yeah, that, uh...
1500
00:57:00,417 --> 00:57:01,460
Sky..
1501
00:57:01,460 --> 00:57:02,961
‐"Skyflier."
‐...Flier.
1502
00:57:02,961 --> 00:57:04,254
‐Yeah.
‐"Skyflier."
1503
00:57:04,254 --> 00:57:05,839
Yeah, 'cause you know how it is,
every Christmas,
1504
00:57:05,839 --> 00:57:07,382
all the kids want that one toy,
1505
00:57:07,382 --> 00:57:08,592
and if you don't
get a jump on it,
1506
00:57:08,592 --> 00:57:09,968
they're all gone.
1507
00:57:09,968 --> 00:57:12,846
Okay, well, first of all,
don't give up, all right?
1508
00:57:12,846 --> 00:57:14,931
You'll find it,
it's out there.
1509
00:57:14,931 --> 00:57:16,767
And second of all,
you're not the worst mother,
1510
00:57:16,767 --> 00:57:17,809
you're, like,
1511
00:57:17,809 --> 00:57:19,186
the best mother ever.
1512
00:57:19,186 --> 00:57:21,063
All you got to do
is talk to Oliver
1513
00:57:21,063 --> 00:57:21,980
to figure that one out.
1514
00:57:21,980 --> 00:57:23,106
Thank you.
1515
00:57:23,106 --> 00:57:25,275
And thank you for all of this,
1516
00:57:25,275 --> 00:57:27,986
and for making this the best
Christmas yet for Oliver.
1517
00:57:27,986 --> 00:57:28,862
Oh, come on.
1518
00:57:28,862 --> 00:57:30,364
And for me.
1519
00:57:32,699 --> 00:57:35,494
[♪♪♪]
1520
00:57:35,494 --> 00:57:37,204
I should, um...
1521
00:57:37,204 --> 00:57:39,665
I should probably
get out of here.
1522
00:57:39,665 --> 00:57:41,416
I have to get the seeds
for the zoo tomorrow, so...
1523
00:57:41,416 --> 00:57:42,334
Oh! Yeah.
Of course.
1524
00:57:42,334 --> 00:57:43,835
Uh, but...
1525
00:57:43,835 --> 00:57:46,588
keep me in the loop with
the whole "Secret Santa" thing.
1526
00:57:46,588 --> 00:57:48,298
Will do.
1527
00:57:49,675 --> 00:57:50,967
It's right this way.
1528
00:57:50,967 --> 00:57:52,594
The door! Yeah.
1529
00:57:52,594 --> 00:57:54,137
Okay.
1530
00:57:54,137 --> 00:57:56,348
[♪♪♪]
1531
00:57:57,766 --> 00:57:59,142
Yeah, I've been
calling everywhere,
1532
00:57:59,142 --> 00:58:01,895
but there is still no luck
with that Skyflier.
1533
00:58:01,895 --> 00:58:03,355
And Cole seems to think
we'll find it,
1534
00:58:03,355 --> 00:58:04,314
but I don't know.
1535
00:58:04,314 --> 00:58:05,357
"We"?
1536
00:58:05,357 --> 00:58:06,775
Yes, "we."
1537
00:58:06,775 --> 00:58:08,652
I don't think
I have to tell you
1538
00:58:08,652 --> 00:58:11,071
how great I think
this Cole fellow is.
1539
00:58:11,071 --> 00:58:13,907
And I also don't
have to tell you
1540
00:58:13,907 --> 00:58:16,827
how smitten he is with you.
1541
00:58:16,827 --> 00:58:18,495
That I might need a little more
convincing of.
1542
00:58:18,495 --> 00:58:19,579
Sydney,
1543
00:58:19,579 --> 00:58:21,289
why are you doubting?
1544
00:58:21,289 --> 00:58:23,375
He left so suddenly
the other night.
1545
00:58:23,375 --> 00:58:25,544
You know, I mean,
I thought we were connecting,
1546
00:58:25,544 --> 00:58:27,129
and then he had to go.
1547
00:58:27,129 --> 00:58:29,506
Well, maybe
he didn't feel comfortable
1548
00:58:29,506 --> 00:58:30,298
with Oliver being there.
1549
00:58:30,298 --> 00:58:32,008
Maybe.
1550
00:58:32,008 --> 00:58:33,385
Speaking of,
1551
00:58:33,385 --> 00:58:34,678
I have to get Oliver
to school,
1552
00:58:34,678 --> 00:58:35,887
so I'll see you at the mall
in an hour, okay?
1553
00:58:35,887 --> 00:58:37,597
Okay. I'll see you there.
1554
00:58:37,597 --> 00:58:38,640
‐'Kay. Love you, Mom.
‐Love you.
1555
00:58:42,811 --> 00:58:44,479
Yeah.
1556
00:58:44,479 --> 00:58:47,190
No, that's right.
It's called a Skyflier.
1557
00:58:47,190 --> 00:58:49,401
Right, I don't care if you have
to courier it in
1558
00:58:49,401 --> 00:58:50,902
from Switzerland,
I need it by Christmas.
1559
00:58:50,902 --> 00:58:53,113
Great, thank you.
1560
00:58:54,239 --> 00:58:56,199
[sighing]
1561
00:58:57,451 --> 00:58:59,077
Uh, Howard,
do we have any salt?
1562
00:59:07,878 --> 00:59:10,714
So, how do you plan
on telling her?
1563
00:59:12,382 --> 00:59:13,675
I don't know.
1564
00:59:13,675 --> 00:59:15,218
But it's got to be done
just right,
1565
00:59:15,218 --> 00:59:17,471
otherwise she may never
talk to me again.
1566
00:59:17,471 --> 00:59:19,556
I mean, what am I gonna say?
1567
00:59:19,556 --> 00:59:22,225
"Hey, remember how I told you
that I was Cole Howard?
1568
00:59:22,225 --> 00:59:24,436
I'm actually Colin Hauer,
President of Hauer Industries,
1569
00:59:24,436 --> 00:59:26,021
and I'm the Secret Santa."
1570
00:59:27,355 --> 00:59:28,815
I can't tell her today
at the petting zoo.
1571
00:59:28,815 --> 00:59:29,983
Oliver's gonna be there.
1572
00:59:29,983 --> 00:59:31,860
Well, why don't you
just take her
1573
00:59:31,860 --> 00:59:33,653
someplace you two
have been alone together,
1574
00:59:33,653 --> 00:59:36,031
and break the news
to her there?
1575
00:59:36,031 --> 00:59:37,324
That's a great idea, Howard.
1576
00:59:39,493 --> 00:59:41,286
Howard, how are you
so knowledgeable
1577
00:59:41,286 --> 00:59:42,996
about all these things?
1578
00:59:42,996 --> 00:59:45,248
I have had plenty of time
1579
00:59:45,248 --> 00:59:47,125
to plan
on what I would say
1580
00:59:47,125 --> 00:59:48,710
if I were fortunate enough
1581
00:59:48,710 --> 00:59:52,088
to have someone
as lovely as Miss Larkin.
1582
00:59:52,088 --> 00:59:53,965
[chuckling softly]
1583
00:59:55,926 --> 00:59:57,093
Thank you.
1584
00:59:57,093 --> 00:59:58,804
Okay, so I just talked
to the zookeeper,
1585
00:59:58,804 --> 01:00:00,055
he said it was okay
1586
01:00:00,055 --> 01:00:01,640
if we give the animals
these treats, so...
1587
01:00:01,640 --> 01:00:03,266
Ollie, who do you think
is gonna get this one?
1588
01:00:03,266 --> 01:00:04,351
[Oliver] A horse?
1589
01:00:04,351 --> 01:00:05,977
Why don't you
go give it to him?
1590
01:00:05,977 --> 01:00:07,938
[Sydney] Oh!
1591
01:00:07,938 --> 01:00:09,397
Thank you.
1592
01:00:09,397 --> 01:00:10,524
[Oliver] It's amazing!
1593
01:00:10,524 --> 01:00:11,900
[Sydney] You know,
1594
01:00:11,900 --> 01:00:14,027
I forgot there was even
a petting zoo in this city.
1595
01:00:14,027 --> 01:00:15,695
It's easy to forget.
1596
01:00:15,695 --> 01:00:17,239
You didn't.
1597
01:00:17,239 --> 01:00:19,991
Well, I have a lot less things
to worry about than you do.
1598
01:00:19,991 --> 01:00:24,162
Yeah, well,
that's partly my fault.
1599
01:00:24,162 --> 01:00:27,207
Because I convinced myself
I had to do it on my own‐‐
1600
01:00:27,207 --> 01:00:29,793
raise Ollie, support us...
1601
01:00:29,793 --> 01:00:31,127
'Cause that way,
1602
01:00:31,127 --> 01:00:33,338
I wouldn't be disappointed
if someone let me down,
1603
01:00:33,338 --> 01:00:36,174
but now I'm not sure
that's the right attitude.
1604
01:00:36,174 --> 01:00:38,885
Especially not for Ollie.
1605
01:00:38,885 --> 01:00:42,347
Listen, um,
can you meet me tomorrow?
1606
01:00:42,347 --> 01:00:44,516
Highland Park?
1607
01:00:44,516 --> 01:00:45,976
Just the two of us, though.
1608
01:00:45,976 --> 01:00:48,144
Sure. What about?
1609
01:00:48,144 --> 01:00:49,229
‐I...
‐Colin?
1610
01:00:49,229 --> 01:00:50,897
Colin, is that you?
1611
01:00:51,857 --> 01:00:53,984
Uh, Diane, hi!
1612
01:00:53,984 --> 01:00:56,987
Um... sorry.
Just excuse us for a second?
1613
01:00:56,987 --> 01:00:58,864
‐Sure.
‐Hi! Nice to see you.
1614
01:00:58,864 --> 01:01:00,240
And you! Will you be
1615
01:01:00,240 --> 01:01:02,242
at the black‐and‐white
charity ball again this year?
1616
01:01:02,242 --> 01:01:04,452
Um, yes, I will.
1617
01:01:04,452 --> 01:01:06,162
We should catch up then.
1618
01:01:06,162 --> 01:01:07,539
I'm just, I'm a little busy
right now.
1619
01:01:07,539 --> 01:01:08,832
Of course.
1620
01:01:08,832 --> 01:01:10,834
You're a busy man.
I'll see you at the ball.
1621
01:01:10,834 --> 01:01:13,128
Okay. See ya.
1622
01:01:15,755 --> 01:01:18,800
Hey. Sorry about that. Um...
1623
01:01:18,800 --> 01:01:20,427
I met her
1624
01:01:20,427 --> 01:01:22,888
a year ago
at a black‐and‐white ball.
1625
01:01:22,888 --> 01:01:25,015
I was covering a story.
1626
01:01:25,015 --> 01:01:27,726
I think she's a little confused
about my name, though.
1627
01:01:27,726 --> 01:01:29,144
You know,
one too many eggnogs.
1628
01:01:29,144 --> 01:01:31,605
"Colin," "Cole,"
they sound alike.
1629
01:01:31,605 --> 01:01:34,399
‐Oh, I guess so.
‐Yeah.
1630
01:01:34,399 --> 01:01:36,610
Mommy, look.
1631
01:01:37,903 --> 01:01:40,614
Oh, my goodness.
1632
01:01:40,614 --> 01:01:44,075
Oh, I think we took
half the zoo home with us.
1633
01:01:44,075 --> 01:01:45,327
Hey, look!
1634
01:01:45,327 --> 01:01:47,245
They found the Secret Santa.
1635
01:01:47,245 --> 01:01:49,623
[announcer] A WQP Exclusive
tomorrow night,
1636
01:01:49,623 --> 01:01:51,583
an interview with
the Secret Santa himself‐‐
1637
01:01:51,583 --> 01:01:53,293
revealed live.
1638
01:01:53,293 --> 01:01:57,464
Does this mean there won't be
any more Secret Santa acts?
1639
01:01:57,464 --> 01:01:59,716
I hope not, sweetie.
1640
01:02:07,515 --> 01:02:08,934
Hey.
1641
01:02:08,934 --> 01:02:09,935
[Cole] Hey!
1642
01:02:11,019 --> 01:02:11,937
Did you hear?
1643
01:02:11,937 --> 01:02:13,563
Yeah. Yeah, I did.
1644
01:02:13,563 --> 01:02:15,315
Do you really think
they have him?
1645
01:02:15,315 --> 01:02:17,901
Uh, no. No, I don't.
1646
01:02:17,901 --> 01:02:18,860
I got a feeling.
1647
01:02:18,860 --> 01:02:20,987
Yeah, good, me too,
1648
01:02:20,987 --> 01:02:23,073
because my gut is telling me
that something's not right.
1649
01:02:24,658 --> 01:02:27,118
Uh, look, I‐I gotta
tell you something, Sydney.
1650
01:02:27,118 --> 01:02:28,703
Is it another tip?
1651
01:02:28,703 --> 01:02:30,705
Because maybe then we can prove
that Andy has the wrong Santa.
1652
01:02:30,705 --> 01:02:32,749
No, no, it's not‐‐
it's not another tip.
1653
01:02:32,749 --> 01:02:34,459
Although it has to do
with that...
1654
01:02:36,044 --> 01:02:38,004
I'm actually‐‐
1655
01:02:38,004 --> 01:02:40,840
‐[phone rings]
‐Oh! Sorry.
1656
01:02:40,840 --> 01:02:43,468
[groans]
It's one of the hockey moms.
1657
01:02:43,468 --> 01:02:44,970
Kelly, hi.
1658
01:02:46,388 --> 01:02:49,015
Oh. Uh, yeah, it's okay,
I understand.
1659
01:02:49,015 --> 01:02:50,809
I'll make sure they get there.
1660
01:02:50,809 --> 01:02:52,894
Okay, bye.
1661
01:02:54,229 --> 01:02:56,481
Uh, my hockey carpool
just bailed.
1662
01:02:56,481 --> 01:02:58,441
I got to get the boys
to practice, I'm sorry.
1663
01:02:58,441 --> 01:02:59,901
Oh, that's okay.
1664
01:02:59,901 --> 01:03:03,363
Oh, uh, what was it
you wanted to tell me?
1665
01:03:04,572 --> 01:03:06,700
Nothing. Nothing.
1666
01:03:06,700 --> 01:03:08,660
It‐‐ I'll tell you later.
1667
01:03:08,660 --> 01:03:09,703
Are you sure?
1668
01:03:09,703 --> 01:03:10,996
Yeah. Go ahead. Go.
1669
01:03:10,996 --> 01:03:12,122
‐Okay.
‐Okay.
1670
01:03:12,122 --> 01:03:13,123
‐I'll call you later.
‐All right.
1671
01:03:13,123 --> 01:03:15,125
Okay.
1672
01:03:21,047 --> 01:03:22,424
[Howard] I was just told
1673
01:03:22,424 --> 01:03:24,843
that WQP is about
to break the story.
1674
01:03:26,094 --> 01:03:28,179
All right, then.
Let's do this.
1675
01:03:29,681 --> 01:03:32,017
[♪♪♪]
1676
01:03:44,029 --> 01:03:45,405
Thank you.
1677
01:03:47,240 --> 01:03:49,534
[rotors beating]
1678
01:04:09,763 --> 01:04:12,640
[Oliver] Why do they want to
give the Santa's secret away?
1679
01:04:12,640 --> 01:04:13,808
[Sydney]
Well, I guess they figure
1680
01:04:13,808 --> 01:04:15,727
that it's news,
and people want to know.
1681
01:04:15,727 --> 01:04:17,812
I don't want to know.
Do you?
1682
01:04:17,812 --> 01:04:20,774
No, I don't want
to know either, honey.
1683
01:04:20,774 --> 01:04:22,776
Maybe they made
a mistake, Mommy,
1684
01:04:22,776 --> 01:04:24,569
and they have the wrong Santa.
1685
01:04:24,569 --> 01:04:26,863
I hope so, sweetie.
1686
01:04:26,863 --> 01:04:28,740
What is that?
1687
01:04:28,740 --> 01:04:30,492
A snowflake?
1688
01:04:30,492 --> 01:04:32,118
No.
1689
01:04:36,456 --> 01:04:38,458
What is that?
1690
01:04:38,458 --> 01:04:40,043
Well, I don't know, honey.
1691
01:04:43,671 --> 01:04:44,839
There's a note.
1692
01:04:44,839 --> 01:04:46,341
[helicopter rotors beating
in the distance]
1693
01:04:46,341 --> 01:04:48,802
"It is Christmas
in the heart
1694
01:04:48,802 --> 01:04:52,722
that puts Christmas
in the air."
1695
01:04:52,722 --> 01:04:54,182
Mommy, look!
1696
01:04:54,182 --> 01:04:56,392
[gasping]
1697
01:04:56,392 --> 01:04:59,229
[♪♪♪]
1698
01:04:59,229 --> 01:05:01,314
Is it him?
1699
01:05:01,314 --> 01:05:02,899
Is it the Secret Santa?
1700
01:05:02,899 --> 01:05:05,318
It is.
Yes, it is him, honey.
1701
01:05:06,986 --> 01:05:11,699
[♪♪♪]
1702
01:05:11,699 --> 01:05:14,994
Ollie, we have to get this.
1703
01:05:14,994 --> 01:05:16,037
Take the tablet.
1704
01:05:16,037 --> 01:05:19,833
Go stand over there.
Okay. Good.
1705
01:05:19,833 --> 01:05:23,044
[♪♪♪]
1706
01:05:23,044 --> 01:05:24,170
Okay.
1707
01:05:24,170 --> 01:05:26,923
Well, it appears
our own Secret Santa
1708
01:05:26,923 --> 01:05:28,174
is at it again
1709
01:05:28,174 --> 01:05:31,094
with gifts of candy
falling from the sky
1710
01:05:31,094 --> 01:05:34,264
in what can only be called
"a Christmas shower."
1711
01:05:34,264 --> 01:05:37,433
Let's see if the person
alleging to be the Secret Santa
1712
01:05:37,433 --> 01:05:38,935
claims this latest act.
1713
01:05:38,935 --> 01:05:40,812
Although this reporter
has a feeling
1714
01:05:40,812 --> 01:05:42,772
that the real Secret Santa
1715
01:05:42,772 --> 01:05:45,900
is still
Chicago's best‐kept secret.
1716
01:05:45,900 --> 01:05:48,111
Oh! I wish
you could have been there.
1717
01:05:48,111 --> 01:05:49,529
It was amazing.
1718
01:05:49,529 --> 01:05:51,739
There were tiny boxes of candy
1719
01:05:51,739 --> 01:05:53,616
literally falling
from the sky,
1720
01:05:53,616 --> 01:05:55,577
like Santa's sack of presents
1721
01:05:55,577 --> 01:05:57,579
had come loose in his sleigh.
1722
01:05:57,579 --> 01:05:59,956
Yeah, I‐I wish
I could've been there.
1723
01:05:59,956 --> 01:06:01,332
Yeah.
1724
01:06:01,332 --> 01:06:04,544
But Ollie,
he was an amazing cameraman.
1725
01:06:04,544 --> 01:06:06,129
Oh, and you should've heard
1726
01:06:06,129 --> 01:06:08,631
how excited Perry was
about the story.
1727
01:06:08,631 --> 01:06:10,967
She ran it at the exact
same time as Andy's,
1728
01:06:10,967 --> 01:06:13,553
because it turns out Andy's
quote‐unquote "Secret Santa"
1729
01:06:13,553 --> 01:06:15,430
didn't know anything
about the candy,
1730
01:06:15,430 --> 01:06:16,681
which means
the real Secret Santa
1731
01:06:16,681 --> 01:06:17,682
is still out there.
1732
01:06:17,682 --> 01:06:18,850
Isn't that great?
1733
01:06:18,850 --> 01:06:20,435
Yes, it is.
1734
01:06:20,435 --> 01:06:21,686
I'm meeting with Perry
tomorrow morning
1735
01:06:21,686 --> 01:06:22,979
to talk about the ratings.
1736
01:06:22,979 --> 01:06:24,230
Wish me luck.
1737
01:06:24,230 --> 01:06:25,398
Oh, you don't need any luck!
1738
01:06:25,398 --> 01:06:26,399
You're a great journalist.
1739
01:06:26,399 --> 01:06:27,734
We need more of you
1740
01:06:27,734 --> 01:06:29,360
going out there and getting
the good stories.
1741
01:06:29,360 --> 01:06:31,196
Well, there are more like me.
I'm talking to one.
1742
01:06:31,196 --> 01:06:34,199
Ah, right.
1743
01:06:34,199 --> 01:06:36,242
Listen, um,
1744
01:06:36,242 --> 01:06:38,453
let's get dinner tomorrow night,
1745
01:06:38,453 --> 01:06:40,622
just...
just the two of us.
1746
01:06:40,622 --> 01:06:41,873
Are you able?
1747
01:06:41,873 --> 01:06:43,499
I‐I'd love to.
1748
01:06:43,499 --> 01:06:45,627
I'll get my mom to watch Ollie.
1749
01:06:45,627 --> 01:06:47,337
All right, great.
I look forward to it.
1750
01:06:47,337 --> 01:06:48,546
Me too.
1751
01:06:48,546 --> 01:06:50,340
Okay, I'll see you tomorrow.
1752
01:06:50,340 --> 01:06:52,634
‐Bye.
‐Bye.
1753
01:06:57,847 --> 01:06:59,474
[reporter] As we saw
on Chicago's BNC broadcast,
1754
01:06:59,474 --> 01:07:01,309
it was a Christmas shower
last night
1755
01:07:01,309 --> 01:07:02,769
when our Secret Santa
once again
1756
01:07:02,769 --> 01:07:04,187
brought festive joy
to our city.
1757
01:07:06,898 --> 01:07:08,858
So how did we do?
1758
01:07:08,858 --> 01:07:12,487
Turns out
your live coverage last night
1759
01:07:12,487 --> 01:07:16,157
blew away
Andy's exclusive with WPQ,
1760
01:07:16,157 --> 01:07:18,743
and his supposed Secret Santa.
1761
01:07:18,743 --> 01:07:19,994
I knew it!
1762
01:07:19,994 --> 01:07:22,163
Who was that guy
Andy found, anyway?
1763
01:07:22,163 --> 01:07:24,457
Turns out, just someone who
wanted to seize the spotlight.
1764
01:07:24,457 --> 01:07:26,501
Not very Christmas‐spirited,
1765
01:07:26,501 --> 01:07:28,503
and something Andy
should've uncovered,
1766
01:07:28,503 --> 01:07:30,797
but overlooked
rushing to break the story.
1767
01:07:30,797 --> 01:07:32,924
Good thing we didn't run it.
1768
01:07:32,924 --> 01:07:34,175
So, thank you.
1769
01:07:34,175 --> 01:07:35,843
And...
1770
01:07:35,843 --> 01:07:38,054
congratulations.
1771
01:07:38,054 --> 01:07:40,390
Because if you want it,
the position is yours.
1772
01:07:40,390 --> 01:07:42,058
Really?
1773
01:07:43,393 --> 01:07:45,436

[Perry] Good job.

Congratulations, Sydney.
1779
01:08:00,243 --> 01:08:02,245
You toppled my big exclusive.

Oh, it wasn't me.
1781
01:08:03,746 --> 01:08:06,291
It was the real Secret Santa.
1782
01:08:06,291 --> 01:08:07,417
Oh, that's right.
1783
01:08:07,417 --> 01:08:08,626
The Secret Santa,
1784
01:08:08,626 --> 01:08:11,379
who you seem to know more about
than anyone else.
1785
01:08:11,379 --> 01:08:13,715
It's called
journalistic intuition, Andy.
1786
01:08:13,715 --> 01:08:15,174
Maybe you should've
checked yours
1787
01:08:15,174 --> 01:08:16,843
before you ran
your big exclusive.
1788
01:08:16,843 --> 01:08:19,053
If you know who he is, Sydney,
1789
01:08:19,053 --> 01:08:20,638
you're compromising
your integrity
1790
01:08:20,638 --> 01:08:22,765
by pretending to just be
breaking these stories.
1791
01:08:22,765 --> 01:08:25,935
I don't know who he is,
Andy, I don't.
1792
01:08:25,935 --> 01:08:27,353
But if I did,
1793
01:08:27,353 --> 01:08:29,397
I wouldn't run out
and reveal him.
1794
01:08:29,397 --> 01:08:31,316
I'd let him do
what he intended,
1795
01:08:31,316 --> 01:08:34,902
which is bring some much‐needed
Christmas joy to this city.
1796
01:08:34,902 --> 01:08:38,031
So why don't you
eat a gingerbread house?
1797
01:08:38,031 --> 01:08:40,116

What? That you're not

is all of this a lie,

my journalistic capabilities?
