00:07:19,506 --> 00:07:22,040
but I'm just kind of looking
for something different.

167
00:07:22,075 --> 00:07:23,308
You know?

168
00:07:23,343 --> 00:07:24,876
I want to find
that thing that's meant for me,

169
00:07:24,945 --> 00:07:26,778
like real estate is for you.

170
00:07:26,814 --> 00:07:27,879
Yes, but remember,

171
00:07:27,915 --> 00:07:29,915
I started off
in the payroll department,

172
00:07:29,983 --> 00:07:31,550
and then I happened
to land on a realtor's desk

173
00:07:31,585 --> 00:07:33,885
who needed an assistant,

174
00:07:33,921 --> 00:07:36,488
and then
she mentored me.

175
00:07:36,523 --> 00:07:37,923
I mean, that's how it happens,
Lizzie...

176
00:07:37,958 --> 00:07:39,825
By chance.

177
00:07:39,893 --> 00:07:42,494
And you think
this could be my "by chance"?

178
00:07:42,529 --> 00:07:43,829
Who knows?

179
00:07:43,864 --> 00:07:45,263
But you love art,

180
00:07:45,299 --> 00:07:48,099
and ashford estate
is a historical landmark.

181
00:07:48,168 --> 00:07:49,501
Worst-case scenario,

182
00:07:49,536 --> 00:07:51,803
you're surrounded
by that all day.

183
00:07:51,839 --> 00:07:53,438
It's really nice?

184
00:07:53,507 --> 00:07:56,174
This place is exceptional,

185
00:07:56,210 --> 00:07:57,576
historic...

186
00:07:57,611 --> 00:07:58,977
And it's only temporary

187
00:07:59,046 --> 00:08:00,912
because the place
is selling soon,

188
00:08:00,981 --> 00:08:03,148
and you might get an invitation

189
00:08:03,183 --> 00:08:05,517
to the Marley family
Christmas party at ashford.

190
00:08:06,653 --> 00:08:08,019
It is...

191
00:08:08,055 --> 00:08:09,855
Legendary.

192
00:08:09,923 --> 00:08:13,725
Only the<i> creme de la creme</i>
can get an invitation.

193
00:08:13,760 --> 00:08:15,961
It's a huge stepping stone,
Lizzie.

194
00:08:15,996 --> 00:08:18,230
Come on, give chance a chance.

195

[Sighing]

197
00:08:45,259 --> 00:08:47,459
It's just a house...

198
00:08:47,494 --> 00:08:49,427
That could fit
four other houses inside of it.

199
00:08:50,864 --> 00:08:52,197
Okay.

Oh.

Thanks.

207
00:09:18,859 --> 00:09:20,959
This house is huge!

208
00:09:21,028 --> 00:09:23,562
What it must cost to
heat this place, huh?

209
00:09:23,630 --> 00:09:25,964
I mean, it's got to be
5,000, 6,000 square feet.

20,000 square feet?

212
00:09:31,505 --> 00:09:33,371
Sorry.

213
00:09:33,407 --> 00:09:34,506
I'm not used to a house

with its own echo.

Oh, thank you.

216
00:09:43,984 --> 00:09:45,317
I imagine you need
a lot of staff

217
00:09:45,385 --> 00:09:46,751
in a place this size, huh?

218
00:09:46,787 --> 00:09:48,653
Uh, this way, please,
miss richfield.

219
00:09:48,689 --> 00:09:50,755
Oh... oh... okay.

220
00:09:50,791 --> 00:09:54,726
My last job,
i managed 22 employees.

221
00:09:54,795 --> 00:09:57,829
Let me tell you, the fires
i had to put out there.

222
00:09:57,864 --> 00:10:00,031
I mean, not actual fires.

223
00:10:00,067 --> 00:10:02,834
I'm not trying
to imply that I'm a hero...

224
00:10:02,903 --> 00:10:05,370
Or that bad things
happen on my watch,

225
00:10:05,405 --> 00:10:07,772
but you know, I can
tell Mr. Marley all this.

226
00:10:09,409 --> 00:10:11,076
How long
have you worked here?

227

You know,
i didn't get your name.

I am Gerard.

It's very nice
to meet you, Gerard.

Uh, miss pippa
will meet you in here.

235
00:10:30,664 --> 00:10:32,397
It's like living in a museum.

236
00:10:34,167 --> 00:10:35,967
I guess if you can afford
a real Van gogh,

237
00:10:36,036 --> 00:10:37,836
the heating bill
is the least of your concerns,

238
00:10:37,871 --> 00:10:39,137
right?

239
00:10:39,172 --> 00:10:42,574
I do not concern myself
with the bills.

240
00:10:42,609 --> 00:10:44,909
That would be the job
of the house manager.

Mrs. Marley...

242

Your house is so beautiful.

Yes, it is.

00:10:52,052 --> 00:10:53,785
The art is exquisite.

245

I actually majored
in art history,

quite a collection.

I'm so glad
you approve.

you'd like to know about me...

You know,
Megan said you had one already,

266
00:11:45,405 --> 00:11:46,404
but I just brought
one just in case.

00:11:46,440 --> 00:11:47,505
Huh.

268

Always be prepared,
that's my motto.

Um, not really.

270
00:11:54,948 --> 00:11:56,581
I don't have a motto.

271
00:11:56,616 --> 00:11:58,183
The boy scouts say it,
and it's, uh...

272
00:11:58,218 --> 00:11:59,050
It's good advice.

273
00:12:00,153 --> 00:12:01,119
Huh.

274
00:12:03,090 --> 00:12:04,222
You'll be living here
at ashford full-time,

275
00:12:04,257 --> 00:12:06,024
on call 24-7.

276
00:12:06,059 --> 00:12:07,225
The entire staff
will report to you.

You're going
to be the liaison

between me and the sale
here at ashford.

279
00:12:11,565 --> 00:12:13,198
You'll need to pack up
and send all the antiques

280
00:12:13,233 --> 00:12:14,499
to the auction house.

281
00:12:14,534 --> 00:12:15,667
You'll also be coordinating
and planning

the annual Marley family
Christmas Eve gala.

This is going
to be the last one ever,

so it's got
to be one for the books.

My brother kip
will be home for it,

I think,

288
00:12:25,479 --> 00:12:26,511
so you'll need to plan

289
00:12:26,546 --> 00:12:27,412
and coordinate
their arrivals as well.

290

00:12:35,455 --> 00:12:37,822
or do you need me
to write that down?

I'm sorry,
I'm a little confused.

I thought
this was a job interview.

297
00:12:43,063 --> 00:12:44,062
No, an endorsement
from someone I trust

298
00:12:44,131 --> 00:12:45,430
is worth more than gold,

299
00:12:45,465 --> 00:12:46,898

has never steered me wrong

No, I... I didn't...

that I don't see you

00:13:40,554 --> 00:13:41,686
What?

331
00:13:41,755 --> 00:13:42,520
I just want to know
what I'm walking into

332
00:13:42,589 --> 00:13:43,588
this morning.

333
00:13:43,623 --> 00:13:45,390
Like you don't
Google your clients.

334
00:13:45,425 --> 00:13:47,392
Uh, when I get a listing
like ashford,

335
00:13:47,460 --> 00:13:50,929
I tend not to ask
any questions...

336
00:13:50,964 --> 00:13:52,864
But...

337
00:13:52,899 --> 00:13:53,698
What did you find out?

338
00:13:55,068 --> 00:13:56,734
Not much.

339
00:13:56,770 --> 00:13:58,069
He brokers mergers
and acquisitions.

340
00:13:58,104 --> 00:13:59,938
His parents were killed
in a car accident

341
00:13:59,973 --> 00:14:00,939
when he was 13.

342
00:14:00,974 --> 00:14:03,208
So sad.

343
00:14:03,243 --> 00:14:05,009
His grandmother raised him
and his two younger siblings

344
00:14:05,045 --> 00:14:06,377
at ashford.

345
00:14:06,446 --> 00:14:07,645
Yeah,
i know about his parents,

346
00:14:07,681 --> 00:14:09,214
and it's awful.

347
00:14:09,249 --> 00:14:10,748
I haven't met
his siblings yet,

348
00:14:10,817 --> 00:14:12,183
but I'm really looking
forward to,

349
00:14:12,219 --> 00:14:13,585
especially kip Marley.

350
00:14:13,620 --> 00:14:14,719
They say

351
00:14:14,754 --> 00:14:16,888
he's the most eligible
bachelor in D.C.,

352
00:14:16,923 --> 00:14:18,523
and you're sort of going
to be living with him.

353
00:14:18,558 --> 00:14:19,858
It's a job, Megan.

354
00:14:19,926 --> 00:14:20,992
I know, I know.

355
00:14:21,061 --> 00:14:22,026
And like you said,
it's temporary.

356
00:14:22,062 --> 00:14:23,094
Yes,

357
00:14:23,163 --> 00:14:24,329
and it could be
very temporary.

358
00:14:24,364 --> 00:14:25,597
I already have
a potential buyer

359
00:14:25,632 --> 00:14:27,465
who's interested
in looking at the house.

360
00:14:27,534 --> 00:14:29,200
It's not a house,
it's a county.

361
00:14:29,236 --> 00:14:30,568
I'm not kidding.

362
00:14:30,637 --> 00:14:32,036
I'm going to need a GPS
to find my way around there.

363
00:14:33,740 --> 00:14:35,340
Oh, the place is so incredible,

364
00:14:35,375 --> 00:14:37,709
but it's so... cold.

365
00:14:37,777 --> 00:14:39,477
Don't you think?

366
00:14:39,512 --> 00:14:42,513
I need to get some Christmas
in there right away.

367
00:14:42,549 --> 00:14:44,115
Well, they picked
the perfect girl for the job.

368
00:14:45,085 --> 00:14:45,950
Call me later.

369
00:14:45,986 --> 00:14:46,818
With a full report.

370
00:14:46,853 --> 00:14:48,519
Yes. [chuckles]

371
00:14:56,863 --> 00:14:58,596
Miss richfield,
allow me.

372
00:14:58,632 --> 00:15:00,198
Gerard,
if we're going to be friends,

373
00:15:00,233 --> 00:15:01,633
you have to call me Lizzie.

374
00:15:01,668 --> 00:15:02,767
Yes, miss Lizzie.

375
00:15:02,802 --> 00:15:04,235
Guess that's a start.

376
00:15:04,271 --> 00:15:05,803
Uh, come.

377
00:15:05,872 --> 00:15:06,905
I'll show you
to your room.

378
00:15:10,944 --> 00:15:13,211
This is Robert's room,

379
00:15:13,246 --> 00:15:15,713
but we'll put you here
since it's close to miss pippa,

380
00:15:15,782 --> 00:15:17,248
in case she
needs anything.

381
00:15:17,284 --> 00:15:18,383
Well, it's lovely,

382
00:15:18,418 --> 00:15:21,019
but I don't want
to put him out.

383
00:15:21,054 --> 00:15:22,787
Oh, he doesn't come home
for Christmas, ma'am.

384
00:15:22,822 --> 00:15:24,422
But the gala!

385
00:15:24,457 --> 00:15:26,724
It's the last one ever.
He's going to miss it?

386
00:15:26,760 --> 00:15:28,760
Why break his streak now?

387
00:15:28,795 --> 00:15:30,228
I'll meet you
in the kitchen

388
00:15:30,263 --> 00:15:31,229
once you get settled

389
00:15:31,264 --> 00:15:32,597
to go over
the to-do list,

390
00:15:32,666 --> 00:15:34,465
and if you're hungry,

391
00:15:34,501 --> 00:15:37,101
Anna can prepare
something for you.

392
00:15:37,137 --> 00:15:38,269
Thank you.

393
00:15:38,338 --> 00:15:39,404
Uh, Gerard?

394
00:15:39,472 --> 00:15:41,673
The last house manager...

395
00:15:41,741 --> 00:15:43,207
What happened to him?
Or her?

396
00:15:45,211 --> 00:15:47,145
Oh, um, miss pippa
drove him away.

397
00:15:49,282 --> 00:15:52,050
Oh, miss Lizzie?

398
00:15:52,085 --> 00:15:53,318
Welcome to ashford.

399
00:15:56,122 --> 00:15:57,555
I'll meet you
in the kitchen

400
00:15:57,590 --> 00:15:59,757
momentarily.

401
00:15:59,793 --> 00:16:02,193
Here is the supply order.

402
00:16:02,228 --> 00:16:03,428
We've been
without a house manager

403
00:16:03,496 --> 00:16:04,562
for a while,

404
00:16:04,631 --> 00:16:06,297
so we need it on a rush.

405
00:16:06,333 --> 00:16:08,299
The piano needs to be tuned.

406
00:16:08,368 --> 00:16:10,368
It's an 1870s steinway grand,

407
00:16:10,403 --> 00:16:12,537
so find someone
well-versed in that.

408
00:16:12,605 --> 00:16:15,440
Miss pippa wasn't fond
of the last gentleman.

409
00:16:15,508 --> 00:16:16,541
There's a crack

410
00:16:16,576 --> 00:16:19,143
in one
of the front hall windows.

411
00:16:19,179 --> 00:16:21,879
Have a stained-glass company
come to repair it.

412
00:16:21,915 --> 00:16:22,914
That exists? Okay.

413
00:16:25,585 --> 00:16:26,484
Stained...

414
00:16:26,553 --> 00:16:27,452
Glass...

415
00:16:27,520 --> 00:16:29,153
Company.

416
00:16:29,189 --> 00:16:30,521
That should be all for now.

417
00:16:30,557 --> 00:16:32,390
Ah, this is Anna.

418
00:16:32,425 --> 00:16:35,893
She'll take care
of all your dietary needs.

419
00:16:35,962 --> 00:16:37,362
Welcome, miss richfield.

420
00:16:37,430 --> 00:16:40,031
I'm not used
to such formality.

421
00:16:40,066 --> 00:16:42,400
Please, call me Lizzie.

422
00:16:42,469 --> 00:16:44,836
Well, a certain level
of formality is expected.

423
00:16:44,904 --> 00:16:46,537
[Chuckles]

424
00:16:46,573 --> 00:16:47,739
So, can I get you anything?

425
00:16:47,807 --> 00:16:49,207
A sandwich?

426
00:16:49,275 --> 00:16:51,376
Omelette?
perhaps a waffle?

427
00:16:51,411 --> 00:16:54,946
That's quite a menu,
but I ate at home.

428
00:16:54,981 --> 00:16:56,514
I think
I'll just get some coffee

429
00:16:56,583 --> 00:16:58,583
and head to the office.

430
00:16:58,618 --> 00:17:01,452
Oh! thank you.

431
00:17:01,488 --> 00:17:04,689
Is, um, miss pippa up yet?

432
00:17:04,724 --> 00:17:07,158
I'm looking forward
to seeing her again.

433
00:17:10,263 --> 00:17:12,930
You may wish
to manage your expectation

434
00:17:12,999 --> 00:17:14,932
where miss pippa
is concerned.

435
00:17:14,968 --> 00:17:16,701
She is somewhat old-school.

436
00:17:16,736 --> 00:17:18,603
She doesn't engage
much with the staff.

437
00:17:18,671 --> 00:17:19,871
We tend to
meet her needs,

438
00:17:19,906 --> 00:17:22,006
and she leaves us alone.

439
00:17:22,075 --> 00:17:23,307
Got it.

440
00:17:23,376 --> 00:17:24,375
Thanks for the tip.

441
00:17:24,411 --> 00:17:25,743
Certainly,
and if you need anything,

442
00:17:25,812 --> 00:17:26,978
I'm always right here.

443
00:17:27,013 --> 00:17:28,746
Thank you.

444
00:17:31,317 --> 00:17:32,250
[Lizzie]:
Mrs. Marley!

445
00:17:32,318 --> 00:17:33,151
It's so nice to see you.

446
00:17:33,186 --> 00:17:34,452
I...

447
00:17:34,487 --> 00:17:36,254
I...

448
00:17:44,731 --> 00:17:45,963
Hi! uh...

449
00:17:46,032 --> 00:17:47,565
I thought you weren't
coming home for Christmas.

450
00:17:47,634 --> 00:17:49,333
I'm not home.

451
00:17:49,369 --> 00:17:50,668
I'm working.

452
00:17:50,737 --> 00:17:52,070
As the executor of the estate,

453
00:17:52,105 --> 00:17:54,005
I need access
to my grandfather's files,

454
00:17:54,040 --> 00:17:55,306
which are here
at ashford,

455
00:17:55,341 --> 00:17:57,875
on paper...
Nothing digital.

456
00:17:57,911 --> 00:18:00,244
Um, I need you
to scan this stack

457
00:18:00,313 --> 00:18:02,313
and send it to me
as soon as you can, please.

458
00:18:02,348 --> 00:18:03,247
Of course.

459
00:18:04,250 --> 00:18:05,116
Um...

460
00:18:05,185 --> 00:18:06,651
I hope you don't
mind sharing.

461
00:18:06,686 --> 00:18:07,518
Huh?

462
00:18:07,554 --> 00:18:08,753
The office, I mean.

463
00:18:08,788 --> 00:18:09,987
It'll only be for
a little while.

464
00:18:10,056 --> 00:18:11,289
I'm in and out,

465
00:18:11,357 --> 00:18:12,356
and I'll be spending
most of my time in the city.

466
00:18:12,392 --> 00:18:13,958
Yeah, well,
whatever works for you.

467
00:18:13,993 --> 00:18:14,926
Okay.

468
00:18:17,730 --> 00:18:19,464
Actually, I'm really glad
you're here.

469
00:18:19,499 --> 00:18:22,633
I already have some great ideas
for the Christmas Eve gala.

470
00:18:22,702 --> 00:18:24,268
I can't wait to get started.

471
00:18:24,337 --> 00:18:26,204
It's my favorite time
of the year,

472
00:18:26,239 --> 00:18:27,572
but actually,
you know,

473
00:18:27,607 --> 00:18:28,940
the lack of Christmas
in this house

474
00:18:28,975 --> 00:18:30,274
is frankly...

475
00:18:30,343 --> 00:18:32,243
Unacceptable.

476
00:18:32,278 --> 00:18:33,978
It's December already.

477
00:18:34,013 --> 00:18:35,213
The gala's pippa's domain,

478
00:18:35,248 --> 00:18:36,214
so you'll need to run that
by her first.

479
00:18:36,249 --> 00:18:37,815
Oh.

480
00:18:39,986 --> 00:18:42,520
Um, you know,
speaking of that,

481
00:18:42,555 --> 00:18:45,790
any tips on how to approach her?

482
00:18:45,825 --> 00:18:48,259
She's not exactly... welcoming.

483
00:18:48,294 --> 00:18:49,427
I'm the last person
you should be asking

484
00:18:49,496 --> 00:18:50,695
for tips on how to manage pippa.

485
00:18:50,730 --> 00:18:52,363
Why?

486
00:18:54,100 --> 00:18:55,733
She doesn't want
to sell ashford,

487
00:18:55,768 --> 00:18:56,968
so I'm not exactly

488
00:18:57,003 --> 00:18:58,903
her favorite person
in the world right now.

489
00:19:00,273 --> 00:19:01,139
Then why are you?

490
00:19:02,642 --> 00:19:04,475
I mean, the house
is so beautiful.

491
00:19:04,511 --> 00:19:07,345
The history, the architecture,
the antiques...

492
00:19:07,380 --> 00:19:09,247
Could we just focus on this
for right now?

493
00:19:09,315 --> 00:19:10,615
Please scan that

494

i don't know

which pieces
will be up for auction yet,

497

but I can get you a list
by the end of the week.

498
00:19:28,134 --> 00:19:29,534
This is a weird question.

499
00:19:29,602 --> 00:19:31,469
I know you're an auction house,
but do you happen to know

500
00:19:31,504 --> 00:19:33,604
where I could find
a stained-glass repair company

501
00:19:33,673 --> 00:19:34,739
around here?

What was that noise?

508

That was Mr. kip.

509

Gerard!

510
00:19:53,726 --> 00:19:54,759
Please introduce me

511
00:19:54,794 --> 00:19:55,927
to this strange and
intriguing woman

512
00:19:55,962 --> 00:19:56,928
at our doorway.

513
00:19:56,963 --> 00:19:59,096
I'm Lizzie,
the new house manager.

514
00:19:59,165 --> 00:20:00,131
It's nice to meet you.

515
00:20:00,166 --> 00:20:01,032
Well, it's nice
to meet you too.

516
00:20:01,100 --> 00:20:02,900
Have you alerted
the press?

517
00:20:02,936 --> 00:20:04,702
Please do,

518
00:20:04,737 --> 00:20:05,870
because I think my
brother has finally made

519
00:20:05,905 --> 00:20:07,038
a right decision
in his life,

520
00:20:07,106 --> 00:20:09,874
and I cannot
believe it.

521
00:20:09,909 --> 00:20:12,076
I just mean
that our last house manager

522
00:20:12,145 --> 00:20:13,277
was far less
interesting than you.

523
00:20:13,313 --> 00:20:15,980
I mean, he was
terrified of pippa.

524
00:20:16,049 --> 00:20:17,381
Can you believe that?

525
00:20:17,417 --> 00:20:20,484
My sweet little
grandmother, pippa.

526
00:20:20,520 --> 00:20:21,552
This house definitely
requires someone

527
00:20:21,588 --> 00:20:23,521
who can hold
their own.

528
00:20:23,556 --> 00:20:25,389
I will certainly try my best.

529
00:20:25,458 --> 00:20:26,757
I don't doubt that,

530
00:20:26,793 --> 00:20:28,226
and I have very good instincts
about people.

531
00:20:28,261 --> 00:20:29,860
That's something
we have in common.

532
00:20:29,896 --> 00:20:31,462
Ah...

533
00:20:31,497 --> 00:20:34,098
And what do your instincts
tell you about me?

534
00:20:34,133 --> 00:20:35,700
I hope I made
a good showing.

535
00:20:35,735 --> 00:20:37,468
Gerard, tell me
i made a good showing.

536
00:20:37,503 --> 00:20:38,936
[Gerard]:
excellent showing, sir.

537
00:20:38,972 --> 00:20:40,104
Thank you, Gerard.

538
00:20:40,139 --> 00:20:44,008
You definitely know
how to make an entrance.

539
00:20:44,043 --> 00:20:45,209
Yep...

540
00:20:45,245 --> 00:20:46,410
She definitely holds her own.

541
00:20:48,081 --> 00:20:50,815
All right, I'm going
to go see my grandmother,

542
00:20:50,850 --> 00:20:52,984
and we can get more
acquainted later.

Gerard,
great to see you.

[Pippa]:
is that my kip?

547
00:20:59,058 --> 00:21:01,559
It's so good to have you
home for Christmas.

548

Where in the world
are you returning from

549

this time?

550
00:21:04,497 --> 00:21:05,930
[Kip]: you would not believe
the sights I've seen.

551

[They laugh]

552

[Lizzie]:
Robert! hi.

553
00:21:15,808 --> 00:21:17,908
I didn't know
you'd be in town.

554
00:21:17,944 --> 00:21:19,176
Um, are you coming to ashford?
Do you need anything?

555
00:21:19,212 --> 00:21:20,378
No, I'm not,
actually.

556
00:21:20,413 --> 00:21:21,879
I have a meeting with
the estate's attorney

557
00:21:21,948 --> 00:21:23,748
just down the street,

558
00:21:23,783 --> 00:21:25,182
and then I have to go
straight back to D.C.

559
00:21:25,218 --> 00:21:26,384
Uh...

560
00:21:26,419 --> 00:21:28,019
Oh, wow.

561
00:21:28,054 --> 00:21:30,221
Oh, I promise everything
is getting done.

562

Uh, bills are paid.

563

tomorrow.

564

Christmas decorations

00:21:35,428 --> 00:21:36,394
for ashford.

566
00:21:36,429 --> 00:21:37,762
Can't wait
to get started.

567
00:21:37,797 --> 00:21:38,996
What's your fascination
with Christmas?

568
00:21:42,168 --> 00:21:43,534
It was my dad's favorite.

569
00:21:45,204 --> 00:21:47,471
To sit by the fire
with my family,

570
00:21:47,507 --> 00:21:48,472
the lights flickering
on the tree,

571
00:21:48,508 --> 00:21:49,440
I mean, it's...

572
00:21:49,475 --> 00:21:52,576
It's magical.

573
00:21:52,645 --> 00:21:54,645
We've never had that.

574
00:21:54,681 --> 00:21:56,247
Then you should
definitely come home.

575
00:21:56,282 --> 00:21:57,581
It's the last Christmas
at ashford,

576
00:21:57,617 --> 00:21:58,683
and I promise I'm doing
everything I can

577
00:21:58,718 --> 00:22:00,618
to make it
beyond special.

578
00:22:00,653 --> 00:22:01,819
I don't think
anyone wants me there.

579
00:22:01,888 --> 00:22:03,354
Don't do anything

580
00:22:03,389 --> 00:22:04,655
without running the gala
theme by pippa first.

581

585
00:22:23,042 --> 00:22:24,141
The new
house manager.

586
00:22:26,512 --> 00:22:27,378
What do you want?

587
00:22:29,582 --> 00:22:30,715
This is for your room,

588
00:22:30,783 --> 00:22:32,416
a little
Christmas spirit.

589
00:22:36,389 --> 00:22:37,755
Robert suggested
that I talk to you

590
00:22:37,790 --> 00:22:39,090
about my plans for the gala.

591
00:22:39,125 --> 00:22:40,558
Oh.

592
00:22:40,593 --> 00:22:42,827
My grandson is asking
my opinion about something.

593
00:22:42,862 --> 00:22:43,794
How novel.

594
00:22:43,830 --> 00:22:45,830
Yes, he...

595
00:22:45,898 --> 00:22:48,232
He said that you are in charge
of the gala.

596
00:22:48,267 --> 00:22:50,868
The only topic on which
Robert and I can agree.

597
00:22:58,077 --> 00:22:59,076
I was looking

598
00:22:59,112 --> 00:23:00,111
through some of the
old gala pictures...

599
00:23:00,179 --> 00:23:01,379
Why aren't you married?

600
00:23:01,414 --> 00:23:03,581
You're in your 30s, no?

601
00:23:06,819 --> 00:23:08,018
Well, I...

602
00:23:08,054 --> 00:23:10,020
I actually almost got engaged
a few months ago,

603
00:23:10,089 --> 00:23:13,157
and he was a good man,

604
00:23:13,192 --> 00:23:15,025
but I just wasn't
in love with him,

605
00:23:15,061 --> 00:23:16,761
and, you know,
i couldn't take that leap

606
00:23:16,796 --> 00:23:20,531
knowing that true love
might be out there somewhere,

607
00:23:20,566 --> 00:23:22,900
but I'm probably just being
a silly, hopeless romantic.

608
00:23:22,935 --> 00:23:23,768
You know what I mean?

609
00:23:23,803 --> 00:23:25,202
No.

610
00:23:26,506 --> 00:23:27,438
May I?

611
00:23:27,473 --> 00:23:28,839
Mm.

612
00:23:31,577 --> 00:23:34,578
Okay, so I have
a few options.

613
00:23:36,215 --> 00:23:37,548
Winter wonderland.

614
00:23:37,583 --> 00:23:38,883
Boring.

615
00:23:40,153 --> 00:23:40,985
Martinis and mistletoe?

616
00:23:41,020 --> 00:23:42,553

617

-No.

619
00:23:48,728 --> 00:23:49,927
-No.
-<i> apres ski?</i>

620
00:23:49,962 --> 00:23:50,761
No!

621
00:23:54,734 --> 00:23:57,802
You're... you're right
to be underwhelmed.

622
00:23:57,837 --> 00:23:59,036
I mean,

623
00:23:59,105 --> 00:24:01,939
none of these really do
justice to ashford,

624
00:24:01,974 --> 00:24:03,507
do they?

625
00:24:05,144 --> 00:24:06,844
It's the last gala,

626
00:24:06,913 --> 00:24:10,181
so it needs to be pure class.

627
00:24:10,216 --> 00:24:12,116
Yes, it does.

628
00:24:14,120 --> 00:24:16,020
What about...

629
00:24:16,055 --> 00:24:16,887
Silver bells?

630
00:24:19,091 --> 00:24:19,890
Silver bells?

631
00:24:20,860 --> 00:24:22,159
Yeah.

632
00:24:22,195 --> 00:24:23,861
Uh, so the whole house
would be in silver and blue

633
00:24:23,896 --> 00:24:27,264
with bits of gold
and woodsy garland.

634
00:24:27,300 --> 00:24:29,500
Elegant, but warm.

635
00:24:29,535 --> 00:24:32,470
I think this house could use
a little more warmth.

636
00:24:32,505 --> 00:24:33,771
Do you, now?

637
00:24:38,077 --> 00:24:40,077
Very well, then.

638
00:24:40,112 --> 00:24:42,546
"Silver bells" is the theme.

639
00:24:44,884 --> 00:24:45,783
Spend what you must.

640
00:24:45,818 --> 00:24:49,286
I trust you will
not disappoint me.

641
00:24:49,322 --> 00:24:51,789
I will do my very best.

642
00:24:51,824 --> 00:24:53,657
Do better than that.

643
00:24:55,294 --> 00:24:56,327
Okay.

into the main hall.

00:25:50,816 --> 00:25:53,784
Well, why not this life?

660
00:25:58,658 --> 00:26:00,457
Thank you.

661
00:26:00,526 --> 00:26:01,525
Oh, there you are.

662
00:26:01,561 --> 00:26:02,726
Looking everywhere
for you.

663
00:26:02,795 --> 00:26:03,827
On the jogging trails?

664
00:26:03,863 --> 00:26:05,129
Ha!

665
00:26:05,164 --> 00:26:07,031
Actually, I found
this incredible new restaurant

666
00:26:07,066 --> 00:26:10,200
that I think is perfect
to cater the gala.

667
00:26:10,269 --> 00:26:11,569
Oh, great.

668
00:26:11,604 --> 00:26:13,537
Send me the information,
and I'll look into it.

669
00:26:13,573 --> 00:26:15,239
Well, I can do
you one better.

670
00:26:15,308 --> 00:26:20,611
I secured us a private tasting
of their catering menu tonight.

671
00:26:20,680 --> 00:26:22,012
I had to pull a few favors,

672
00:26:22,048 --> 00:26:24,548
but anything to make
the last gala at ashford

673
00:26:24,584 --> 00:26:26,417
the best it can be.

674
00:26:28,487 --> 00:26:30,454
We'll talk about ashford
the entire time.

675
00:26:30,489 --> 00:26:32,256
I will bore you to death...

676
00:26:32,291 --> 00:26:35,125
And then we'll, uh,
expense it back to the estate.

677
00:26:35,161 --> 00:26:36,126
It's a business meal.

678
00:26:37,763 --> 00:26:39,496
Okay.
i appreciate you doing this.

679
00:26:39,532 --> 00:26:41,065
I knew I'd get you to cave.

680
00:26:43,936 --> 00:26:45,536
This is not
me caving.

681
00:26:45,571 --> 00:26:48,038
This is me working,
for you, actually,

682
00:26:48,107 --> 00:26:49,306
since you're my boss.

683
00:26:49,342 --> 00:26:51,575
Uh-uh-uh, that would be Robert
who is your boss.

684
00:26:51,611 --> 00:26:53,077
He cracks the whip.

685
00:26:53,145 --> 00:26:55,479
Sloane, pippa, and I,
we just enjoy our lives.

686
00:26:55,514 --> 00:26:56,814
It's actually
the perfect dynamic

687
00:26:56,882 --> 00:26:57,915
for all of us.

688
00:26:57,950 --> 00:27:00,117
If it's okay to ask,

689
00:27:00,152 --> 00:27:02,920
what's the story
between Robert and pippa?

690
00:27:02,955 --> 00:27:04,588
It seems... tense.

691
00:27:04,657 --> 00:27:05,956
Well, I mean,

692
00:27:05,992 --> 00:27:07,524
she's lived here
all of her life.

693
00:27:07,593 --> 00:27:09,460
Robert's just selling the place
from under her.

694
00:27:09,528 --> 00:27:10,995
What's to know?

695
00:27:11,030 --> 00:27:12,696
Where will she go?

696
00:27:12,732 --> 00:27:15,265
Again, you'll have to ask
the boss that question.

697
00:27:15,301 --> 00:27:17,635
He hasn't informed
the rest of us.

698
00:27:17,670 --> 00:27:19,770
Hmm.

699
00:27:19,805 --> 00:27:22,373
So, tonight, you and I,

700
00:27:22,408 --> 00:27:23,674

701
00:27:23,709 --> 00:27:25,109

702
00:27:25,144 --> 00:27:26,243
Yep.

703
00:27:26,278 --> 00:27:27,244
Oh, and hey,
by the way?

704
00:27:27,279 --> 00:27:29,079

705
00:27:29,115 --> 00:27:31,849
Really great idea.

706

I need you
to pull a file for me.

710
00:27:49,568 --> 00:27:50,601
It should be

711
00:27:50,636 --> 00:27:51,769
in the second drawer
of the cabinet,

712

labeled "Virginia
historical society."

a little break from decorating,

717
00:28:02,948 --> 00:28:05,382
I'm at the pond.

718

This was your playground
as a child!

723
00:28:14,727 --> 00:28:17,161
I don't know
if it's the air here

724
00:28:17,229 --> 00:28:18,762
or the view,

725
00:28:18,798 --> 00:28:22,466
<i> but... being at ashford</i>

my favorite part of ashford.

Actually, it was the only thing
i liked about it.

735
00:28:47,660 --> 00:28:49,760
is that it's just complicated.

when we get to let everything go

and just be.

Well, you have
to see it here today...

it's fascinating in books?

00:32:16,135 --> 00:32:18,035
I wasn't here long enough
to unpack...

823
00:32:19,738 --> 00:32:21,471
Much.

824
00:32:23,876 --> 00:32:24,741
So, uh...

825
00:32:26,545 --> 00:32:29,413
How was your dinner
with my brother?

826
00:32:29,448 --> 00:32:31,581
It was a tasting
for the Christmas Eve gala.

827
00:32:31,650 --> 00:32:33,650
But it became a date.

828
00:32:33,686 --> 00:32:35,719
No, absolutely not.
That would be inappropriate.

829
00:32:35,754 --> 00:32:37,754
No, no, I'm...
I'm here to work.

830
00:32:37,823 --> 00:32:39,356
We kept it all about the food.

831
00:32:39,425 --> 00:32:41,925
Trust me, to kip,
it was a date.

832
00:32:41,961 --> 00:32:44,995
That guy goes zero to 60
faster than a Tesla,

833
00:32:45,030 --> 00:32:47,497
which he has one of those,

834
00:32:47,566 --> 00:32:48,899
corvette,

835
00:32:48,934 --> 00:32:50,067
Maserati, Ferrari...

836
00:32:50,135 --> 00:32:52,836
All paid for
by the estate.

837
00:32:54,073 --> 00:32:55,672
Must have cost him tonight,
though,

838
00:32:55,708 --> 00:32:58,608
climbing to the top
spot at strozzi.

839
00:32:58,644 --> 00:33:01,211
Look, the food was great,
but if it was a date...

840
00:33:01,246 --> 00:33:02,045
And I don't
think it was...

841
00:33:02,081 --> 00:33:03,613
Ah...

842
00:33:03,649 --> 00:33:05,415
I would prefer
something more creative,

843
00:33:05,451 --> 00:33:09,052
like spending $20, Max.

844
00:33:09,088 --> 00:33:10,921
Well, that would
require imagination.

845
00:33:12,391 --> 00:33:14,124
Yes, it would.

846
00:33:15,828 --> 00:33:18,161
It's... it's a challenge
my mother gave my father

847
00:33:18,230 --> 00:33:19,563
on their first date.

848
00:33:21,233 --> 00:33:24,134
And what did he do for $20?

849
00:33:24,169 --> 00:33:26,370
Well,
my mother loves grilled cheese,

850
00:33:26,405 --> 00:33:28,005
so he bought some ingredients,

851
00:33:28,040 --> 00:33:29,706
and they had
a grilled cheese cook-off.

852
00:33:29,775 --> 00:33:31,575
[They laugh]

853
00:33:31,610 --> 00:33:32,843
He said, "if you're going
to make it a challenge,

854
00:33:32,878 --> 00:33:35,112
I'm going
to make it a challenge."

855
00:33:35,147 --> 00:33:36,413
She said
that that was the night

856
00:33:36,448 --> 00:33:37,781
she knew
he was the one for her.

857
00:33:37,816 --> 00:33:40,050
Hmm. so who won?

858
00:33:41,954 --> 00:33:42,986
They both did.

859
00:33:43,989 --> 00:33:45,389
Hmm.

860
00:33:46,825 --> 00:33:47,691
Well...

861
00:33:48,927 --> 00:33:49,659
It's an
interesting challenge.

862
00:33:51,063 --> 00:33:52,696
I'm going to have
to think about it.

863
00:33:54,533 --> 00:33:55,766
[Clears throat]
Uh...

864
00:33:57,736 --> 00:33:58,769
Good night, Lizzie.

865
00:33:58,837 --> 00:34:00,670
Good night.

866
00:34:21,593 --> 00:34:23,326
Um, it looks...
Festive.

867
00:34:23,362 --> 00:34:24,995
Uh, the whole house does.

868
00:34:25,030 --> 00:34:25,962
It's, uh...

869
00:34:25,998 --> 00:34:27,264
Mm...

870
00:34:27,299 --> 00:34:28,165
Beautiful?

871
00:34:28,200 --> 00:34:30,033
Mm... hmm....

872
00:34:30,069 --> 00:34:31,368
Comforting?

873
00:34:31,403 --> 00:34:32,502
Mm.

874
00:34:32,538 --> 00:34:33,937
Warm?

875
00:34:33,972 --> 00:34:35,138
Uh, unusual.

876
00:34:35,207 --> 00:34:36,506
[They laugh]

877
00:34:36,542 --> 00:34:37,874
You know
what your problem is?

878
00:34:37,910 --> 00:34:41,378
You haven't done Christmas
right.

879
00:34:41,413 --> 00:34:43,313
Christmas wasn't
a very happy time for us

880
00:34:43,348 --> 00:34:44,147
after my parents, uh...

881
00:34:47,386 --> 00:34:48,752
You know,
here at ashford,

882
00:34:48,821 --> 00:34:50,353
it's, uh, it's all
about appearances.

883
00:34:51,623 --> 00:34:52,756
Throw an extravagant party,

884
00:34:52,791 --> 00:34:55,892
spend a few hours
with guests and colleagues,

885
00:34:55,928 --> 00:34:57,260
get in the newspaper,

886
00:34:57,296 --> 00:34:58,628
and then go
your separate ways.

887
00:34:58,664 --> 00:35:00,564
Hmm.

888
00:35:00,599 --> 00:35:04,201
Well, it's never too late
to start new traditions.

889
00:35:04,269 --> 00:35:05,502
[Laughs]

890
00:35:05,571 --> 00:35:07,504
Yes, my family
takes decorating

891
00:35:07,539 --> 00:35:09,206
very seriously...

892
00:35:09,241 --> 00:35:10,740
And food as well, so...

893
00:35:10,776 --> 00:35:12,642
This is the best
of both worlds.

894
00:35:12,711 --> 00:35:15,345
I give you
the popcorn garland.

895
00:35:15,380 --> 00:35:16,313
[Munching]

896
00:35:16,348 --> 00:35:17,114
[Laughs] it's for
the garland.

897
00:35:17,149 --> 00:35:19,116
Oh, okay.

898
00:35:19,184 --> 00:35:20,717
Popcorn garland.

899
00:35:20,752 --> 00:35:22,219
Yeah.

900
00:35:22,287 --> 00:35:23,787
Through here?

901
00:35:23,822 --> 00:35:25,956
Slowly. nice.

902
00:35:26,024 --> 00:35:26,990
You're a natural.

903
00:35:27,025 --> 00:35:28,291
You know,

904
00:35:28,327 --> 00:35:30,994
usually we have the staff
do all the sewing, but...

905
00:35:31,029 --> 00:35:32,229
[Lizzie]: well, why should
they have all the fun?

906
00:35:32,264 --> 00:35:33,029
[They laugh]

907
00:35:33,065 --> 00:35:33,997
[Kip]:
fun?

908
00:35:34,032 --> 00:35:35,332
I like fun.
What are we doing?

909
00:35:35,367 --> 00:35:36,733
Oh, this is popcorn garland.

910
00:35:36,768 --> 00:35:37,734
Ooh!

911
00:35:37,769 --> 00:35:38,735
Yeah, join us.

912
00:35:38,770 --> 00:35:40,003
Sure.

913
00:35:40,038 --> 00:35:41,505
[Meg]: the crown molding
throughout is original,

914
00:35:41,540 --> 00:35:45,442
and the chandelier
is quite exquisite.

915
00:35:45,511 --> 00:35:47,177
Everything in this house is.

916
00:35:47,212 --> 00:35:49,012
Now, let's head upstairs.

917
00:35:49,081 --> 00:35:49,813
I'll just take
a little of this.

918
00:35:49,882 --> 00:35:50,680
Hey, stop, stop, stop.

919
00:35:50,716 --> 00:35:53,049
I've been working
on this.

920
00:35:53,118 --> 00:35:54,651
So uptight.

921
00:35:54,686 --> 00:35:56,253
Well, you're ruining
my popcorn garland.

922
00:35:56,288 --> 00:35:57,654
Yeah.

923
00:35:57,689 --> 00:35:58,889
Hey, I had a fun
time last night.

924
00:35:58,924 --> 00:36:00,457
Kip...

925
00:36:00,492 --> 00:36:01,925
Don't be inappropriate,
all right?

926
00:36:01,960 --> 00:36:03,226
Lizzie is just trying
to do her job.

927
00:36:03,262 --> 00:36:05,362
Oh...

928
00:36:05,397 --> 00:36:06,830
Robert, you may be the
executor of the estate,

929
00:36:06,865 --> 00:36:07,931
but you're not
the executor of me.

930
00:36:07,966 --> 00:36:09,933
[Robert chuckles]

931
00:36:10,002 --> 00:36:11,501
You see, Robert here,
he calls the shots,

932
00:36:11,537 --> 00:36:12,435
and we just go along
for the ride.

933
00:36:12,471 --> 00:36:13,570
Oh...

934
00:36:13,605 --> 00:36:14,771
Yeah, you don't have
any problem with that

935
00:36:14,806 --> 00:36:16,273
when you're cashing the checks,
do you, kip?

936
00:36:16,341 --> 00:36:17,641
I've told him
he can come work with me

937
00:36:17,676 --> 00:36:18,708
whenever he wants.

938
00:36:18,777 --> 00:36:19,776
Oh, that's nice.

939
00:36:19,811 --> 00:36:21,611
Work for you, not with you.

940
00:36:21,647 --> 00:36:22,612
Until you learn
the ropes,

941
00:36:22,648 --> 00:36:24,481
yes, kip.
There's a learning curve.

942
00:36:24,516 --> 00:36:26,650
And again,
I'm not interested.

943
00:36:26,685 --> 00:36:28,218
You've done enough
calling the shots all my life,

944
00:36:28,253 --> 00:36:29,085
and now you're
selling the house?

945
00:36:29,154 --> 00:36:30,320
And pippa?

946
00:36:30,355 --> 00:36:32,022
I haven't seen pippa
like this in I don't...

947
00:36:32,090 --> 00:36:33,924
-Uncle Robert!
-Hey!

948
00:36:34,860 --> 00:36:35,859
Uncle kip!

949
00:36:35,894 --> 00:36:36,693
There they are,
my boys!

950
00:36:36,728 --> 00:36:37,961
Oh!

951
00:36:37,996 --> 00:36:39,796
-Who's hungry?
-[Both]: Me!

952
00:36:39,831 --> 00:36:41,665
There's popcorn here,
but look out, there's a shark.

953
00:36:41,700 --> 00:36:45,001
Two trains, three delays,
and one case of motion sickness,

954
00:36:45,070 --> 00:36:46,903
but we are finally here.

955
00:36:46,939 --> 00:36:47,938
Hallelujah.

956
00:36:48,006 --> 00:36:49,372
Where is the wine?

957
00:36:49,408 --> 00:36:50,974
And who might you be?

958
00:36:51,009 --> 00:36:53,910
Uh, this is Lizzie,
our new house manager.

959
00:36:53,946 --> 00:36:56,446
And you're still here
after three weeks!

960
00:36:56,481 --> 00:36:57,514
Wow, that's
refreshing.

961
00:36:57,583 --> 00:36:58,915
I'm Sloane, the little sister.

962
00:36:59,885 --> 00:37:01,251
Where's grandmother?

963
00:37:01,320 --> 00:37:02,018
Uh, hello.

964
00:37:02,054 --> 00:37:02,919
Hi.

965
00:37:02,955 --> 00:37:04,187
Uh, she's
upstairs.

966
00:37:04,223 --> 00:37:05,889
She hasn't really come
out of her room lately.

967
00:37:05,924 --> 00:37:07,490
[Sloane]:
hmm, I wonder why.

968
00:37:07,526 --> 00:37:09,693
Mm-hmm.

969
00:37:09,761 --> 00:37:10,760
Well, do you want
to go see her?

970
00:37:10,796 --> 00:37:12,028
-Yes.
-okay.

971
00:37:12,064 --> 00:37:12,996
Uh, boys?

972
00:37:13,031 --> 00:37:13,830
You want
to go see pippa?

973
00:37:13,865 --> 00:37:15,065
Yeah!

974
00:37:15,100 --> 00:37:17,100
All right, grab some popcorn,
and let's go.

975
00:37:17,135 --> 00:37:18,134
[Robert]:
hey, careful, okay?

976
00:37:18,203 --> 00:37:19,536
Don't get that everywhere.
You got...

977
00:37:19,571 --> 00:37:20,971
[Kip]: come on!
Oh, you got handfuls.

978
00:37:21,006 --> 00:37:22,038
[Sloane]:
careful, careful.

979
00:37:27,112 --> 00:37:29,579
Home together at Christmas.

980
00:37:29,615 --> 00:37:31,214
It's going to be a fun reunion.

981
00:37:38,357 --> 00:37:39,356
[Lizzie]:
at Christmas,

982
00:37:39,391 --> 00:37:41,725
my father would line
a row of poinsettias

983
00:37:41,760 --> 00:37:43,627
down each side
of our driveway.

984
00:37:43,695 --> 00:37:44,594
I want to do
the same thing

985
00:37:44,663 --> 00:37:45,829
for the gala,

986
00:37:45,864 --> 00:37:47,664
but with a silver bow
around each one.

987
00:37:47,699 --> 00:37:49,132
I was thinking

988
00:37:49,201 --> 00:37:51,101
these would be nice
for the centerpieces.

989
00:37:51,169 --> 00:37:52,235
You have a gift for this.

990
00:37:52,304 --> 00:37:53,937
You think so?

991
00:37:53,972 --> 00:37:55,805
Well, planning it
has been so much fun.

992
00:37:55,874 --> 00:37:58,608
I feel invigorated.

993
00:37:58,644 --> 00:38:00,944
I just hope
miss pippa approves.

994
00:38:00,979 --> 00:38:01,945
Well, let me
put it this way.

995
00:38:01,980 --> 00:38:03,246
If she didn't,

996
00:38:03,282 --> 00:38:05,615
you'd already be gone.

997
00:38:05,651 --> 00:38:06,983
That's very true.

998
00:38:08,220 --> 00:38:09,085
Where will
she go, Gerard,

999
00:38:09,121 --> 00:38:10,687
after the house is sold?

1000
00:38:10,722 --> 00:38:11,888
Do you know?

1001
00:38:11,923 --> 00:38:14,791
I can't say I'm privy
to that information.

1002
00:38:14,860 --> 00:38:16,693
[Lizzie]:
i don't understand.

1003
00:38:16,728 --> 00:38:19,296
I mean,
she loves this house so much.

1004
00:38:19,331 --> 00:38:20,363
Do they need the money?

1005
00:38:20,399 --> 00:38:21,364
[Robert]:
trust me,

1006
00:38:21,400 --> 00:38:23,300
it's not about the money.

1007
00:38:23,335 --> 00:38:26,102
Pippa will be well
taken care of.

1008
00:38:26,138 --> 00:38:29,906
I'll start lining up
the poinsettias outside.

1009
00:38:34,012 --> 00:38:35,412
I don't mean to be nosy.

1010
00:38:35,480 --> 00:38:37,013
Well, you're
quite good at it.

1011
00:38:39,951 --> 00:38:42,652
Only because pippa
very clearly wants to stay here.

1012
00:38:42,688 --> 00:38:43,953
She can't.

1013
00:38:43,989 --> 00:38:45,121
Why not?

1014
00:38:45,157 --> 00:38:46,523
Lizzie,

1015
00:38:46,558 --> 00:38:48,358
you don't have to get involved
with this, all right?

1016
00:38:48,393 --> 00:38:50,193
It's already been decided.

1017
00:38:50,262 --> 00:38:52,462
I know. It...

1018
00:38:52,531 --> 00:38:54,230
It just makes me so sad for her.

1019
00:38:54,299 --> 00:38:56,199
You know, she barely
comes out of her room.

1020
00:38:56,268 --> 00:38:57,400
I'm only saying this

1021
00:38:57,436 --> 00:38:58,802
because I want her
to be happy.

1022
00:38:58,870 --> 00:39:00,303
And I want her to be safe.

1023
00:39:02,040 --> 00:39:04,941
She has a heart arrhythmia.

1024
00:39:04,976 --> 00:39:07,010
The stairs are too
much of a strain.

1025
00:39:07,045 --> 00:39:08,678
I've tried
every possible solution

1026
00:39:08,747 --> 00:39:09,879
for her to stay,

1027
00:39:09,915 --> 00:39:10,947
but it's not up to me.

1028
00:39:10,982 --> 00:39:12,048
I tried to get her
to move downstairs.

1029
00:39:12,084 --> 00:39:13,516
She refused.

1030
00:39:13,552 --> 00:39:15,919
I even looked
into installing an elevator,

1031
00:39:15,954 --> 00:39:16,920
but she won't do it.

1032
00:39:16,955 --> 00:39:18,221
She says

1033
00:39:18,256 --> 00:39:19,989
that it "ruins the integrity
of the architecture."

1034
00:39:22,894 --> 00:39:24,527
You're doing this for her.

1035
00:39:24,563 --> 00:39:26,062
Yes.

1036
00:39:26,131 --> 00:39:27,764
And I promise you,

1037
00:39:27,799 --> 00:39:30,867
I will find a nice,
practical home for her.

1038
00:39:30,902 --> 00:39:33,970
Then why is everyone
so upset with you about this?

1039
00:39:34,005 --> 00:39:36,773
Because I have to make
the tough decisions,

1040
00:39:36,842 --> 00:39:38,308
and you always
shoot the messenger.

1041
00:39:38,343 --> 00:39:40,043
They don't understand,

1042
00:39:40,078 --> 00:39:42,846
so...
they make me the bad guy.

1043
00:39:45,684 --> 00:39:46,983
It's fine.

1044
00:39:47,018 --> 00:39:48,551
I'm used to it.

1045
00:39:52,257 --> 00:39:53,356
Why don't you keep the house?

1046
00:39:55,527 --> 00:39:56,893
I don't want it.

1047
00:39:56,928 --> 00:39:57,861
[Phone rings]

1048
00:40:00,499 --> 00:40:01,898
Hmm, it's your sister.

1049
00:40:01,933 --> 00:40:03,166
Megan?

1050
00:40:04,236 --> 00:40:05,435
Uh-huh.

1051
00:40:07,372 --> 00:40:08,238
An offer?

1052
00:40:09,408 --> 00:40:10,607
Okay.

1053
00:40:10,642 --> 00:40:12,409
Let me call you back
when I get to the office.

1054
00:40:20,852 --> 00:40:21,985
Lizzie!

1055
00:40:22,020 --> 00:40:24,521
The whole place
looks great.

1056
00:40:24,589 --> 00:40:25,655
Well, it's just like
with the art.

1057
00:40:25,724 --> 00:40:27,924
It's about placement...

1058
00:40:27,993 --> 00:40:32,395
How to accent the beauty
of an already perfect home.

1059
00:40:32,431 --> 00:40:33,530
Well, you definitely
made this place

1060
00:40:33,565 --> 00:40:35,665
look more beautiful
than it was before.

1061
00:40:35,700 --> 00:40:37,100
Thank you,

1062
00:40:37,135 --> 00:40:38,935
but there's still
something missing.

1063
00:40:38,970 --> 00:40:40,170
What could
be missing?

1064
00:40:40,205 --> 00:40:41,938
It looks good.
It feels good.

1065
00:40:41,973 --> 00:40:43,173
It's like a gift to the senses.

1066
00:40:44,709 --> 00:40:45,608
That's it.

1067
00:40:45,677 --> 00:40:46,709
Smell!

1068
00:40:46,745 --> 00:40:47,844
Everything is beautiful,

1069
00:40:47,879 --> 00:40:50,079
but this house needs
to smell like...

1070
00:40:50,115 --> 00:40:54,017
Like cinnamon, cookies,
and... pine.

1071
00:40:54,052 --> 00:40:55,051
Thank you, kip.

1072
00:40:55,086 --> 00:40:56,319
Yeah!

1073
00:40:56,354 --> 00:40:57,787
Uh, so what do we do?
Do we go to a tree lot?

1074
00:40:57,856 --> 00:40:59,255
Do we order one off Amazon?
What?

1075
00:40:59,324 --> 00:41:01,024
We go to the woods.

1076
00:41:01,059 --> 00:41:02,025
Oh.

1077
00:41:02,093 --> 00:41:03,092
Well, we have woods
on the property.

1078
00:41:03,128 --> 00:41:04,928
[Laughs]
of course you do.

1079
00:41:04,996 --> 00:41:06,129
Well,
i have to go meet

1080
00:41:06,164 --> 00:41:07,497
some old high school friends,

1081
00:41:07,532 --> 00:41:10,066
but first thing tomorrow,
we are chopping down a tree.

1082
00:41:10,101 --> 00:41:11,734
The fact
that I have no idea how?

1083
00:41:11,770 --> 00:41:12,702
Totally irrelevant.

1084
00:41:12,737 --> 00:41:13,636
I know how.

1085
00:41:13,672 --> 00:41:15,438
Of course you do.

1086
00:41:15,474 --> 00:41:17,373
You never cease to amaze me,
Lizzie richfield.

1087
00:41:18,977 --> 00:41:21,177
Family dinner
will now be served

1088
00:41:21,246 --> 00:41:22,245
in the formal
dining room.

1089
00:41:25,016 --> 00:41:26,282
Well, since you're all home,

1090
00:41:26,318 --> 00:41:28,084
I thought you might like
to do a family dinner...

1091
00:41:29,120 --> 00:41:30,119
To visit...

1092
00:41:31,389 --> 00:41:32,789
Catch up?

1093
00:41:34,626 --> 00:41:35,792
It's what
my extended family does

1094
00:41:35,861 --> 00:41:37,660
when we haven't seen each other
in a while.

1095
00:41:37,696 --> 00:41:40,497
So I had Anna prepare
something special,

1096
00:41:40,565 --> 00:41:43,066
a holiday meal
with a yule log for dessert.

1097
00:41:45,103 --> 00:41:46,769
Don't you just love
a good yule log?

1098
00:41:48,607 --> 00:41:50,974
Um... okay.

1099
00:41:51,009 --> 00:41:51,908
Yeah, sure.

1100
00:41:53,812 --> 00:41:55,178
Why not?

1101
00:41:55,213 --> 00:41:55,979
[Anna]: all right.
Please, follow me.

1102
00:41:56,014 --> 00:41:56,713
Okay.

The young gentlemen

1106
00:42:06,825 --> 00:42:09,259
thoroughly enjoyed
their hot chocolate,

1107
00:42:09,294 --> 00:42:10,627
and they are both sound asleep.

1108

Thank you, Gerard.

1109

[Lizzie]:
this is a yule log.

1110
00:42:16,768 --> 00:42:19,969
It's my mother's recipe.
Anna made it.

1111
00:42:20,005 --> 00:42:24,207
It is the quintessential
holiday dessert.

1112
00:42:24,242 --> 00:42:26,376
Prepare for your world
to be rocked.

Wait, you're not
joining us?

1116
00:42:30,749 --> 00:42:31,748
Oh, it's a...
It's a family dinner.

1117
00:42:31,783 --> 00:42:32,749
I'll eat
with the staff.

1118
00:42:32,817 --> 00:42:34,384
Oh, no, no.
No, no, we insist.

please set a place?

Certainly.

your typical family anyway.

already gathered that.

my mother worked
a lot of nights,

like Santa claus,

1143
00:43:32,010 --> 00:43:33,576
and he would sneak past
that window right there

1144
00:43:33,612 --> 00:43:35,311
when he knew
that we were at the table?

Yeah,

1146
00:43:36,381 --> 00:43:37,680
and kip would start crying.

1147
00:43:37,749 --> 00:43:38,581
I would not start crying.

00:43:39,684 --> 00:43:41,150
No, admit it.
It's all right.

1150
00:43:41,186 --> 00:43:42,285
You were afraid of Santa claus.

1151
00:43:42,320 --> 00:43:43,319
Maybe it was one time,

1152
00:43:43,355 --> 00:43:45,321
and I was, what,
three years old?

1153
00:43:45,390 --> 00:43:47,256
Oh, you were
a lot older than that.

1154
00:43:47,325 --> 00:43:48,458
[Kip]:
no!

1155
00:43:48,493 --> 00:43:50,460
Definitely older.
You were, like, what, six?

1156
00:43:50,495 --> 00:43:51,294
Seven, maybe?

1157
00:43:51,329 --> 00:43:52,362
17?

1158
00:43:52,397 --> 00:43:54,897
I was not 17!
I was a child.

1159
00:43:54,966 --> 00:43:56,165
Oh, emotionally,
you were a child, yes.

1160
00:43:56,201 --> 00:43:57,734
Enough, please.

1161
00:43:57,769 --> 00:43:58,768
Well, at least
we were all behaving

1162
00:43:58,803 --> 00:44:00,003
when we thought
Santa was watching.

1163
00:44:00,038 --> 00:44:01,170
[Pippa]: well, that was
your father's plan,

1164
00:44:01,206 --> 00:44:04,607
why he enlisted your grandfather
to do it.

1165
00:44:04,643 --> 00:44:07,010
You know, I think I still have
that ratty old costume

1166
00:44:07,045 --> 00:44:07,977
somewhere...

1167
00:44:09,314 --> 00:44:12,315
Unless that closet
has already been cleaned out.

1168
00:44:14,352 --> 00:44:16,552
Nothing has yet.

1169
00:44:16,588 --> 00:44:17,754
You'll be able to keep
whatever you'd like,

1170
00:44:17,789 --> 00:44:18,655
grandmother.

1171
00:44:20,125 --> 00:44:21,124
You know what would be fun?

1172
00:44:21,159 --> 00:44:23,693
If we'd get that
old Santa suit out.

1173
00:44:23,728 --> 00:44:25,528
Robert could put it
on for the boys.

1174
00:44:25,563 --> 00:44:26,729
I don't want
to scare kip.

1175
00:44:26,798 --> 00:44:28,598
Ah, just drop it already,
please.

1176
00:44:28,633 --> 00:44:31,100
Oh, you must...
For your nephews.

1177
00:44:31,169 --> 00:44:34,170
It'll soften the blow of
their father not being here.

1178
00:44:34,239 --> 00:44:35,738
Why isn't Jackson here?

1179
00:44:36,908 --> 00:44:38,307
He's been unemployed
for so long

1180
00:44:38,343 --> 00:44:41,377
that I had to dip
into my trust fund.

1181
00:44:41,413 --> 00:44:42,779
But that's what
it's there for,

1182
00:44:42,847 --> 00:44:44,013
the rough patches.

1183
00:44:44,049 --> 00:44:46,349
But he wants
to provide for his family.

1184
00:44:46,418 --> 00:44:48,751
I told him
my money is his money,

1185
00:44:48,787 --> 00:44:50,153
but he hates to spend it.

1186
00:44:50,188 --> 00:44:52,188
That's why he's not here,

1187
00:44:52,223 --> 00:44:54,490
because this house,

1188
00:44:54,559 --> 00:44:55,992
it reminds him of everything
that he can't give us.

1189
00:44:59,531 --> 00:45:01,397
What...
what can we do?

1190
00:45:02,901 --> 00:45:05,101
I wish I knew.

1191
00:45:05,136 --> 00:45:06,569
[Pippa]: that's what
we're all here for.

1192
00:45:06,604 --> 00:45:09,372
We'll figure this out.

1193
00:45:12,343 --> 00:45:14,110
Don't look now, but...

1194
00:45:14,179 --> 00:45:17,046
You're kind of acting
like a typical family.

1195
00:45:28,793 --> 00:45:29,759
Did you find him?

1196
00:45:29,794 --> 00:45:31,561
Mr. kip is still in bed.

1197
00:45:31,596 --> 00:45:32,595
He said he was out late

1198
00:45:32,630 --> 00:45:34,363
and he, quote,
"needs more sleep,

1199
00:45:34,399 --> 00:45:35,698
a lot more sleep.

1200
00:45:35,734 --> 00:45:36,933
Come back later."

1201
00:45:36,968 --> 00:45:37,967
Unquote.

1202
00:45:39,370 --> 00:45:40,369
It's okay,

1203
00:45:40,405 --> 00:45:42,371
but I should probably
get going.

1204
00:45:42,440 --> 00:45:44,107
We've got deliveries
coming this afternoon.

1205
00:45:44,142 --> 00:45:46,709
You can't chop down a tree
by yourself, Lizzie.

1206
00:45:46,745 --> 00:45:48,678
I will assist.

1207
00:45:48,713 --> 00:45:49,512
[Robert]:
no, Gerard.

1208
00:45:49,581 --> 00:45:50,713
I'll go.

1209
00:45:52,217 --> 00:45:53,149
If you're sure, sir.

1210
00:45:53,184 --> 00:45:55,852
[Lizzie]:
thank you,

1211
00:45:55,920 --> 00:45:57,720
but you might want
to change first.

1212
00:45:59,057 --> 00:46:00,690
Why, what's...
What's wrong with this?

1213
00:46:02,127 --> 00:46:03,593
You really are a bunch
of indoor people, aren't you?

1214
00:46:03,628 --> 00:46:05,228
[Laughs]

1215
00:46:05,263 --> 00:46:07,730
You know there are services
that cut down trees for you.

1216
00:46:07,799 --> 00:46:09,398
I mean,
we've used them many times.

1217
00:46:09,434 --> 00:46:10,533
I know,

1218
00:46:10,568 --> 00:46:11,667
but this is the fun part
of Christmas...

1219
00:46:11,703 --> 00:46:13,002
Mm.

1220
00:46:13,037 --> 00:46:16,239
And you could use
a little more fun, Mr. Marley.

1221
00:46:16,274 --> 00:46:17,874
Oh, is that so?

1222
00:46:17,909 --> 00:46:19,709
Mm.

1223
00:46:19,778 --> 00:46:22,378
Might I suggest clothes
where mud is welcome, sir?

1224
00:46:22,413 --> 00:46:23,679
Right.

1225
00:46:25,717 --> 00:46:26,849
I'll be back in five.

1226
00:46:26,918 --> 00:46:28,284
Okay.

1227
00:46:30,688 --> 00:46:33,790
Gerard, do you know
what you just did?

1228
00:46:33,825 --> 00:46:35,024
You called me Lizzie!

1229
00:46:35,059 --> 00:46:37,393
No "miss,"
no "richfield,"

1230
00:46:37,428 --> 00:46:39,295
not even
the full formal "Elizabeth."

1231
00:46:39,330 --> 00:46:41,864
Did I?

1232
00:46:41,900 --> 00:46:44,534
We're making
great progress.

1233
00:46:44,569 --> 00:46:47,136
Well, I'll go
see to Mr. Robert.

1234
00:46:53,478 --> 00:46:56,078
What do you say
we stop right here?

1235
00:46:56,147 --> 00:46:57,814
We can grab this tree
and call it a day, huh?

1236
00:46:59,584 --> 00:47:01,184
Not big enough.

1237
00:47:01,219 --> 00:47:03,486
We're trying to make
a statement with it.

1238
00:47:03,521 --> 00:47:05,588
What are we
trying to say?

1239
00:47:07,358 --> 00:47:08,825
[Heavy accent]
Welcome.

1240
00:47:10,361 --> 00:47:11,661
Is the tree Dracula?

1241
00:47:11,729 --> 00:47:14,831
Yeah, I don't know
what that accent was all about,

1242
00:47:14,866 --> 00:47:15,998
but the thing is,

1243
00:47:16,034 --> 00:47:17,266
it is the first thing
people see

1244
00:47:17,302 --> 00:47:18,768
when they walk in the door,
so we...

1245
00:47:18,803 --> 00:47:20,703
You know, let's...
Let's greet them properly.

1246
00:47:20,738 --> 00:47:22,271
But let's also sit

1247
00:47:22,307 --> 00:47:25,641
and see what Anna has
packed us for lunch.

1248
00:47:25,710 --> 00:47:26,943
Okay, you eat.
I'm going to look for a tree.

1249
00:47:29,747 --> 00:47:30,947
You have a vision, huh?

1250
00:47:32,784 --> 00:47:35,785
Yeah. I do.

1251
00:47:35,820 --> 00:47:40,056
You know, the last year
has been pretty rough for me.

1252
00:47:41,626 --> 00:47:44,894
I kept my head down,
and I got through it,

1253
00:47:44,929 --> 00:47:48,030
but then I came to ashford,

1254
00:47:48,099 --> 00:47:50,399
and I... looked up.

1255
00:47:50,435 --> 00:47:53,069
That is a very different effect
than ashford has on most people.

1256
00:47:54,939 --> 00:47:56,539
Most people?
Or you?

1257
00:48:00,979 --> 00:48:03,145
Before my parents died,
it was a happy place.

1258
00:48:04,349 --> 00:48:05,848
Afterwards, not so much.

1259
00:48:05,884 --> 00:48:08,417
Well, a home is all
about who fills it.

1260
00:48:09,888 --> 00:48:12,822
It must have felt
so empty without them.

1261
00:48:12,857 --> 00:48:16,359
Is that why
there's so much friction

1262
00:48:16,394 --> 00:48:17,994
between you and pippa?

1263
00:48:18,029 --> 00:48:20,229
I was 13

1264
00:48:20,265 --> 00:48:22,565
when my parents
passed away.

1265
00:48:22,600 --> 00:48:24,333
Kip and Sloane
were eight and six,

1266
00:48:24,369 --> 00:48:26,235
and...

1267
00:48:26,271 --> 00:48:28,204
Pippa was overwhelmed.

1268
00:48:28,239 --> 00:48:29,205
She had her hands full.

1269
00:48:29,240 --> 00:48:30,473
Because of that,

1270
00:48:30,508 --> 00:48:31,340
I probably wasn't
the easiest kid

1271
00:48:31,376 --> 00:48:32,508
to deal with.

1272
00:48:32,577 --> 00:48:33,976
They got very close,

1273
00:48:34,045 --> 00:48:37,546
and I became comfortable
being a stranger in my own home.

1274
00:48:37,615 --> 00:48:41,517
Perhaps because of that,
i, uh...

1275
00:48:41,552 --> 00:48:44,287
Became
a bit rough around the edges.

1276
00:48:44,322 --> 00:48:46,856
Well, I find that
hard to believe.

1277
00:48:46,891 --> 00:48:48,357
I mean, you know they all
call you Mr. warm and fuzzy

1278
00:48:48,393 --> 00:48:49,091
behind your back?

1279
00:48:50,662 --> 00:48:51,627
No, they don't.

1280
00:48:51,663 --> 00:48:52,862
No, they don't.

1281
00:48:57,468 --> 00:49:00,403
So, wait, I had a thought.

1282
00:49:00,438 --> 00:49:01,370
About?

1283
00:49:01,406 --> 00:49:02,305
That $20 date.

1284
00:49:03,942 --> 00:49:05,741
Come on, you said
it's a challenge,

1285
00:49:05,777 --> 00:49:07,543
and I never back down
from a challenge.

1286
00:49:07,578 --> 00:49:09,378
Okay, let's hear it.

1287
00:49:09,447 --> 00:49:11,614
Okay.

1288
00:49:11,649 --> 00:49:14,050
So, um...

1289
00:49:14,085 --> 00:49:17,019
To start off with, we...
My date and I...

1290
00:49:17,055 --> 00:49:21,557
We would go to the pond
behind ashford at dusk,

1291
00:49:21,626 --> 00:49:23,159
and from there,

1292
00:49:23,227 --> 00:49:24,226
we'd watch
the sun disappear

1293
00:49:24,262 --> 00:49:26,195
behind the mountains.

1294
00:49:26,230 --> 00:49:27,463
That would cost
nothing.

1295
00:49:28,866 --> 00:49:32,034
Then we'd listen to
my mom's favorite song

1296
00:49:32,070 --> 00:49:33,235
on the record player
in the library.

1297
00:49:33,304 --> 00:49:35,271
A record?

1298
00:49:35,306 --> 00:49:37,239
Yeah, you know,
an lp.

1299
00:49:37,275 --> 00:49:38,874
No, I know what it is.
I just...

1300
00:49:38,910 --> 00:49:39,909
Forget it.
Keep going.

1301
00:49:39,944 --> 00:49:42,111
Okay.

1302
00:49:42,146 --> 00:49:44,380
Then I'd plug the
Christmas lights in,

1303
00:49:44,415 --> 00:49:45,581
so that would be
the only light

1304
00:49:45,650 --> 00:49:47,283
illuminating us.

1305
00:49:47,318 --> 00:49:49,418
I'd twirl her around
a little bit.

1306
00:49:49,454 --> 00:49:51,487
So if we're talking
five senses,

1307
00:49:51,522 --> 00:49:53,255
that covers
sight and sound.

1308
00:49:53,291 --> 00:49:55,858
For taste,
I'd make her dinner

1309
00:49:55,893 --> 00:49:57,927
using only $20 worth
of ingredients.

1310
00:49:57,996 --> 00:49:58,861
Given that
it's the holidays,

1311
00:49:58,896 --> 00:50:00,596
perhaps a yule log.

1312
00:50:00,631 --> 00:50:02,031
That's my favorite entree.

1313
00:50:02,066 --> 00:50:02,898
Oh.

1314
00:50:05,003 --> 00:50:07,903
Then we'd walk
to the solarium,

1315
00:50:07,939 --> 00:50:10,973
and I'd pick her
a white Rose.

1316
00:50:12,477 --> 00:50:13,409
Smell.

1317
00:50:14,779 --> 00:50:16,545
Then we'd walk back,

1318
00:50:16,581 --> 00:50:19,115
and I'd take her hand.

1319
00:50:19,150 --> 00:50:20,049
Touch.

1320
00:50:23,521 --> 00:50:25,021
What was your mother's
favorite song?

1321
00:50:26,457 --> 00:50:28,257
Silver bells.

1322
00:50:28,292 --> 00:50:31,093
It always signified that
Christmas had arrived.

1323
00:50:31,129 --> 00:50:33,429
I had no idea
when I chose that theme.

1324
00:50:33,464 --> 00:50:35,364
I know,

1325
00:50:35,400 --> 00:50:37,166
but it's okay.

1326
00:50:37,201 --> 00:50:38,501
It's a good thing.

1327
00:50:40,738 --> 00:50:42,204
Well, you...

1328
00:50:42,240 --> 00:50:44,340
You certainly know
how to rise to a challenge.

1329
00:50:44,409 --> 00:50:46,142
Mm, it's a good challenge.

1330
00:50:46,210 --> 00:50:48,744
But I... I couldn't
help but notice

1331
00:50:48,813 --> 00:50:54,183
that it all takes place
at ashford,

1332
00:50:54,218 --> 00:50:56,752
which you seem so eager
to escape.

1333
00:50:56,788 --> 00:50:57,653
Hmm.

1334
00:50:59,424 --> 00:51:01,791
I know it was a sad place
for a long time,

1335
00:51:01,826 --> 00:51:04,060
but it's okay
to like it again.

1336
00:51:05,797 --> 00:51:08,030
You can...

1337
00:51:08,066 --> 00:51:10,232
Look up too.

1338
00:51:12,737 --> 00:51:14,036
Oh, there you are.

1339
00:51:14,072 --> 00:51:15,604
I should have known
you'd take her to the bench.

1340
00:51:15,640 --> 00:51:16,672
I had a rough night,
but I rallied.

1341
00:51:16,707 --> 00:51:17,573
I hope I didn't
let you down.

1342
00:51:17,608 --> 00:51:18,607
No, no, no.

1343
00:51:18,676 --> 00:51:20,342
We actually have not
found the tree yet.

1344
00:51:20,378 --> 00:51:21,844
What do you mean?
You walked right past it.

1345
00:51:22,980 --> 00:51:24,046
Look at this thing.

1346
00:51:24,082 --> 00:51:25,381
It's perfect.

1347
00:51:25,416 --> 00:51:28,284
I mean, we wanted
to make a statement, right?

1348
00:51:28,319 --> 00:51:30,753
Yeah...
you're right.

1349
00:51:32,557 --> 00:51:33,522
That's the one.

1350
00:51:33,558 --> 00:51:34,323
That's gorgeous.

1351
00:51:34,358 --> 00:51:35,591
Yeah!

1352
00:51:35,626 --> 00:51:37,526
It's a good thing
you came along when you did.

1353
00:51:37,562 --> 00:51:38,794
Yeah, it was a good thing.

1354
00:51:38,830 --> 00:51:41,464
Ah, here, big bro,
i will, uh...

1355
00:51:41,499 --> 00:51:42,264
Oh yeah...

1356
00:51:43,367 --> 00:51:44,567
Show you how it's done.

1357
00:51:44,635 --> 00:51:46,435
Can't wait.

1358
00:52:00,585 --> 00:52:02,384
Sorry, I didn't know
anyone was in here.

1359
00:52:02,453 --> 00:52:03,619
Oh no, I'm just wrapping
some gifts for the staff.

1360
00:52:05,356 --> 00:52:06,689
Do you want some help?

1361
00:52:06,724 --> 00:52:08,724
I'd love some.

1362
00:52:08,793 --> 00:52:10,626
Sloane,
are you okay?

1363
00:52:10,661 --> 00:52:12,027
[Tearful]
yeah.

1364
00:52:12,063 --> 00:52:13,362
[Sniffs]

1365
00:52:13,397 --> 00:52:14,730
Jackson didn't get this job
that looked promising...

1366
00:52:16,300 --> 00:52:19,401
And he really doesn't want
to come here for Christmas,

1367
00:52:19,437 --> 00:52:22,104
and he's stressing
about presents for the boys.

1368
00:52:22,140 --> 00:52:23,906
And what is it
that you want?

1369
00:52:23,941 --> 00:52:25,975
I don't even care
about presents.

1370
00:52:26,010 --> 00:52:27,510
I just want my family
together

1371
00:52:27,545 --> 00:52:28,811
in a place where we used
to celebrate Christmas

1372
00:52:28,846 --> 00:52:31,580
with my parents.

1373
00:52:31,616 --> 00:52:33,949
This is going to be our
last one ever at ashford.

1374
00:52:36,454 --> 00:52:40,055
The Christmas spirit
costs nothing.

1375
00:52:40,124 --> 00:52:41,624
You know what?

1376
00:52:41,659 --> 00:52:44,727
Homemade gifts are
even more special.

1377
00:52:44,762 --> 00:52:46,195
What matters is
being together.

1378
00:52:48,266 --> 00:52:49,999
Hey...

1379
00:52:50,034 --> 00:52:51,834
How about we put a moratorium
on store-bought gifts

1380
00:52:51,869 --> 00:52:52,868
this year?

1381
00:52:52,937 --> 00:52:55,137
Everything
must be homemade.

1382
00:52:55,206 --> 00:52:56,372
That could work.

1383
00:52:56,407 --> 00:52:59,175
Fight for your husband, Sloane.

1384
00:52:59,210 --> 00:53:01,110
I know you can come up
with a compromise.

1385
00:53:01,145 --> 00:53:02,044
You know, and i
can watch the boys

1386
00:53:02,079 --> 00:53:03,345
until you get back.

1387
00:53:03,381 --> 00:53:05,281
I worked my way through
college as a nanny.

1388
00:53:05,316 --> 00:53:06,248
And I'll help too.

1389
00:53:06,284 --> 00:53:07,550
[Both]: you will?

1390
00:53:07,585 --> 00:53:08,584
Yes.

1391
00:53:08,619 --> 00:53:09,752
Why are you guys so shocked?

1392
00:53:09,820 --> 00:53:11,754
I can take care of kids.

1393
00:53:13,057 --> 00:53:14,390
Go back to D.C.,

1394
00:53:14,425 --> 00:53:16,325
and bring your husband home
for Christmas.

1395
00:53:16,360 --> 00:53:18,327
Okay.

1396
00:53:18,362 --> 00:53:20,196
I'm going to go look
at train schedules.

1397
00:53:28,339 --> 00:53:29,572
You know, don't worry.
I... I...

1398
00:53:29,640 --> 00:53:30,873
You know, I know
a little bit more about kids

1399
00:53:30,942 --> 00:53:31,740
than I do
about chopping down trees.

1400
00:53:31,776 --> 00:53:32,641
Oh yeah?

1401
00:53:32,710 --> 00:53:33,676
Just a little
bit more?

1402
00:53:33,711 --> 00:53:34,843
Just a little bit more.

1403
00:53:34,879 --> 00:53:35,678
Little more... yeah,
we're in big trouble.

1404
00:53:35,713 --> 00:53:38,113
[Laughing]

1405
00:53:41,552 --> 00:53:44,353
You guys have been so
good since your mom left.

1406
00:53:44,388 --> 00:53:47,423
I emailed Santa,
and guess what?

1407
00:53:47,491 --> 00:53:48,457
He's watching.

1408
00:53:48,492 --> 00:53:49,525
[Boy]:
you think so?

1409
00:53:49,594 --> 00:53:50,960
I know so.

1410
00:53:52,296 --> 00:53:53,162
You guys ready?

1411
00:53:53,197 --> 00:53:54,463
[Boys]:
yes!

1412
00:53:54,498 --> 00:53:55,998
-Ready for what?
-I don't know.

1413
00:53:56,033 --> 00:53:57,766
[Robert]:
um...

1414
00:53:57,802 --> 00:53:58,634
Ready for this!

1415
00:53:58,703 --> 00:54:00,069
I'm going to get you!

1416
00:54:00,104 --> 00:54:00,970
Ha ha!

1417
00:54:01,005 --> 00:54:01,770
Hey!

1418
00:54:01,806 --> 00:54:03,072
Oh no!

1419
00:54:03,107 --> 00:54:04,940
You know, I can email Santa
back, you know,

1420
00:54:04,976 --> 00:54:07,443
tell him you've changed
into a bunch of mean meanies.

1421
00:54:07,478 --> 00:54:08,644
She wouldn't dare.
She's bluffing!

1422
00:54:08,679 --> 00:54:09,745
Get her!

1423
00:54:09,780 --> 00:54:10,713
Yeah!

1424
00:54:10,748 --> 00:54:11,880
No, no!
Hey, what's going on here?

1425
00:54:11,916 --> 00:54:12,881
Oh, my god!

1426
00:54:12,917 --> 00:54:13,716
[Lizzie]:
look what you've created!

1427
00:54:13,784 --> 00:54:15,918
My monsters turned against me!

1428
00:54:15,953 --> 00:54:17,353
[Laughs]

1429
00:54:17,388 --> 00:54:18,887
You're not supposed
to hit me!

1430
00:54:18,923 --> 00:54:20,522
[Robert]:
oh no!

1431
00:54:20,558 --> 00:54:21,490
I'm sorry.

1432
00:54:21,525 --> 00:54:22,491
Oh, I got him. Yes!

1433
00:54:22,560 --> 00:54:24,226
[Cheering, yelling]

1434
00:54:24,262 --> 00:54:26,462
[Robert]:
he's a sharp-shooter.

1435
00:54:26,497 --> 00:54:29,531
Hey, hey, hey!
Don't gang up on me.

1436
00:54:29,567 --> 00:54:30,399
Ah!

1437
00:54:30,434 --> 00:54:31,900
[♪♪♪]

1438
00:54:41,078 --> 00:54:44,079
I'm going to write "daddy"
on the roof in candy.

1439
00:54:44,148 --> 00:54:45,848
[Laughs]

1440
00:54:45,883 --> 00:54:46,849
I think this is going
to be the best present

1441
00:54:46,917 --> 00:54:48,417
he's ever gotten.

1442
00:54:48,452 --> 00:54:49,918
And mine will be
the best too.

1443
00:54:49,987 --> 00:54:51,353
[They laugh]

1444
00:54:51,389 --> 00:54:52,821
Well, you can never have
too many gingerbread houses,

1445
00:54:52,857 --> 00:54:53,956
trust me.

1446
00:54:53,991 --> 00:54:55,758
I think I'm going
to go two stories.

1447
00:54:57,395 --> 00:54:58,427
Oh yeah?

1448
00:54:58,462 --> 00:54:59,295
Is that a challenge?

1449
00:55:01,098 --> 00:55:01,764
Because I can
go condo.

1450
00:55:01,799 --> 00:55:02,998
Mm.

1451
00:55:03,034 --> 00:55:05,601
Multi-unit gingerbread house
with a low h.O.A.

1452
00:55:05,636 --> 00:55:08,237
[Robert]: so, guys,
when Lizzie gets back,

1453
00:55:08,272 --> 00:55:09,305
we're going to make
some necklaces for your mom

1454
00:55:09,340 --> 00:55:10,639
using some beads
we found

1455
00:55:10,675 --> 00:55:12,808
in your great-grandma's
sewing kit.

1456
00:55:12,877 --> 00:55:13,642
Cool.

1457
00:55:15,012 --> 00:55:16,679
Whoa, wow.

1458
00:55:16,714 --> 00:55:18,647
Aren't you and Lizzie
just the cleavers?

1459
00:55:18,683 --> 00:55:22,318
A snowman and craft kits
and now necklaces?

1460
00:55:23,587 --> 00:55:24,620
I'm helping out
our sister, kip.

1461
00:55:24,655 --> 00:55:25,487
That's all.

1462
00:55:25,556 --> 00:55:26,588
Oh, that's good.

1463
00:55:26,624 --> 00:55:28,791
Then you won't mind
if I ask Lizzie

1464
00:55:28,826 --> 00:55:31,327
to go to Athens with me
after the holidays.

1465
00:55:34,031 --> 00:55:35,130
Does she want to go to Athens?

1466
00:55:35,166 --> 00:55:36,999
Bro, who doesn't want
to go to Athens?

1467
00:55:37,068 --> 00:55:38,200
Look, you and Lizzie aren't...

1468
00:55:39,704 --> 00:55:40,636
What?

1469

Things are looking up
for her...

1470
00:55:44,475 --> 00:55:45,541
After a very tough time.

1471
00:55:47,211 --> 00:55:48,811
She needs to be surrounded
by people...

1472
00:55:48,846 --> 00:55:49,978
By... who?

1473
00:55:52,350 --> 00:55:53,349
By you?

1474
00:55:53,384 --> 00:55:55,851
By people who care about her.

1475
00:55:55,920 --> 00:55:57,553
People who understand her.

1476
00:55:57,588 --> 00:55:59,822
Well, I think
Lizzie needs to be inspired,

1477
00:55:59,857 --> 00:56:02,725
and I'm willing to give
her that inspiration.

You just want to win, kip.

1479

That's all you've ever wanted
is the win.

1480
00:56:06,964 --> 00:56:08,931
Will you just give me
a little bit of credit here?

1481
00:56:08,966 --> 00:56:10,766
Okay, maybe at one point,
that was true,

1482
00:56:10,835 --> 00:56:12,368
but I'm not a monster.

1483
00:56:12,403 --> 00:56:14,303
I actually...

1484
00:56:14,338 --> 00:56:15,437
[Sighs]

1485
00:56:15,473 --> 00:56:17,973
I actually think
this might be... real.

The two of you
together.

1489
00:56:26,650 --> 00:56:30,219
Well, it's a good thing
that you don't have to.

Yes?

1492

Um, I'm sorry if
this is a bad time.

1493
00:56:44,135 --> 00:56:45,267
I can...

1494
00:56:45,302 --> 00:56:47,436
Come in.

1495
00:56:49,073 --> 00:56:52,341
I, uh, I came to
find that Santa suit

1496
00:56:52,410 --> 00:56:54,710
to surprise the boys.

1497
00:56:54,745 --> 00:56:56,812
Christmas
is very important to you.

1498
00:56:59,417 --> 00:57:00,749
It was my father's favorite,

1499
00:57:00,785 --> 00:57:02,317
and now,

1500
00:57:02,353 --> 00:57:03,986
during the
holidays,

1501
00:57:04,021 --> 00:57:06,355
I... I can feel him

1502
00:57:06,390 --> 00:57:08,157
more than at other
times of the year.

1503
00:57:08,192 --> 00:57:11,493
That's probably why
i go so overboard.

1504
00:57:11,562 --> 00:57:13,529
Loving it as much as he did

1505
00:57:13,564 --> 00:57:16,999
is how I keep him with me.

1506
00:57:17,034 --> 00:57:20,536
My late husband, Bernard,

1507
00:57:20,571 --> 00:57:22,704
the gala
was his favorite night.

1508
00:57:22,773 --> 00:57:24,807
That's why it is
so important to me

1509
00:57:24,875 --> 00:57:26,909
that this last one
is perfect.

1510
00:57:30,181 --> 00:57:34,049
I will do everything I can
to make sure that it is.

1511
00:57:37,488 --> 00:57:39,488
What will you be wearing?

1512
00:57:39,523 --> 00:57:41,757
Oh, I brought a nice dress.

1513
00:57:41,792 --> 00:57:43,592
Unacceptable.
you need a gown.

1514
00:57:43,627 --> 00:57:45,360
The local boutique

1515
00:57:45,396 --> 00:57:47,396
is sending me some options
this afternoon.

1516
00:57:47,431 --> 00:57:48,831
I'll have them pull dresses
for you as well.

1517
00:57:50,801 --> 00:57:52,734
We'll find you
an appropriate one.

1518
00:57:53,838 --> 00:57:55,237
I appreciate that.

Hmm.

1522
00:58:11,355 --> 00:58:13,088
That one would do.

1523
00:58:15,059 --> 00:58:16,692
It's... beautiful.

1524
00:58:16,727 --> 00:58:18,460
But I like
the first one better,

1525
00:58:18,496 --> 00:58:21,096
and I will lend you
a diamond necklace.

1526

[Chuckles]

1528

What do you think
of my grandson?

1529
00:58:33,344 --> 00:58:34,743
Which one?
You have two.

1530
00:58:34,778 --> 00:58:36,578
Ha, I'm aware of that.

1531
00:58:36,647 --> 00:58:37,679
I'm speaking of the one

1532
00:58:37,715 --> 00:58:39,181
who has piqued
your interest.

1533
00:58:40,384 --> 00:58:42,818
Oh, that was not a date.

1534
00:58:42,853 --> 00:58:44,953
It was a dinner
for the gala.

1535
00:58:44,989 --> 00:58:46,688
It was actually a tasting
that kip had, like...

1536
00:58:46,724 --> 00:58:48,657
Oh, so it is kip
who has piqued your interest?

1537
00:58:48,692 --> 00:58:49,892
Yes.

1538
00:58:49,960 --> 00:58:51,260
Uh, no. I mean no.
I... I mean...

1539
00:58:51,295 --> 00:58:53,362
I mean, they both have.

1540
00:58:53,397 --> 00:58:55,397
You know, they...
Everyone has.

1541
00:58:55,466 --> 00:58:58,967
I have grown very fond
of your whole family.

1542
00:58:59,036 --> 00:59:01,069
And they of you.

1543
00:59:01,105 --> 00:59:02,304
Hmm.

1544
00:59:02,339 --> 00:59:05,107
Let me tell you something
about my grandsons.

1545
00:59:05,142 --> 00:59:06,575
I love them both dearly,

1546
00:59:06,610 --> 00:59:09,645
but the differences
are quite monumental.

1547
00:59:10,881 --> 00:59:12,014
That's evident.

1548
00:59:12,049 --> 00:59:15,651
One is driven by conquest
and satisfaction,

1549
00:59:15,686 --> 00:59:18,754
while the other is driven
by duty and responsibility,

1550
00:59:18,789 --> 00:59:22,090
and they are both wrong...
And right...

1551
00:59:22,126 --> 00:59:24,893
But I think that's why
they're always at odds.

1552
00:59:24,929 --> 00:59:27,963
They would each do well
to be more like the other...

1553
00:59:27,998 --> 00:59:30,899
Kip to stay in one place,
and Robert to let go,

1554
00:59:30,935 --> 00:59:33,035
but I do think

1555
00:59:33,070 --> 00:59:34,703
you've had quite an effect
on both of them.

1556
00:59:34,772 --> 00:59:38,206
Well, I did get them
to cut down a tree in the woods.

1557
00:59:38,242 --> 00:59:39,207

what being around you

has done to Robert

1562
00:59:46,383 --> 00:59:47,583
is quite substantial.

1563
00:59:47,618 --> 00:59:49,151
What does it do to him?

1564
00:59:50,187 --> 00:59:51,153
He's awake.

1565
00:59:51,188 --> 00:59:52,888

is shaken

I believe
it's finding it again.

it was your
doctor's decision...

there's room for my art.

01:09:22,125 --> 01:09:25,026
I'm the one who
wanted to talk to you.

1794
01:09:30,600 --> 01:09:33,968
I've been doing
a lot of thinking these days.

1795
01:09:34,004 --> 01:09:35,069
I know that some
people inside

1796
01:09:35,105 --> 01:09:36,437
might think
that's a dangerous idea.

1797
01:09:36,473 --> 01:09:38,072
[Laughs]

1798
01:09:38,108 --> 01:09:40,341
Lizzie...

1799
01:09:40,377 --> 01:09:43,878
You deserve
a life that inspires you...

1800
01:09:43,914 --> 01:09:45,747
To see the world

1801
01:09:45,815 --> 01:09:48,750
through the artistic expression
of ancient civilizations.

1802
01:09:50,720 --> 01:09:51,586
So...

1803
01:09:52,989 --> 01:09:53,855
Here.

1804
01:09:55,859 --> 01:09:57,025
Thank you.
[Laughs]

1805
01:09:57,060 --> 01:09:59,294
Well, what are
you waiting for?

1806
01:09:59,329 --> 01:10:00,195
Go ahead, open it.

1807
01:10:11,775 --> 01:10:13,341
Come to Athens with me.

1808
01:10:14,978 --> 01:10:17,478
It won't cost you a dime.

1809
01:10:17,514 --> 01:10:20,215
Now, I know that
I'm a bit of a nomad.

1810
01:10:20,250 --> 01:10:22,217
I tend to live life

1811
01:10:22,252 --> 01:10:25,987
in a little bit of a
faster Lane than most,

1812
01:10:26,056 --> 01:10:29,023
but something's
changed in me

1813
01:10:29,059 --> 01:10:30,124
since you got here.

1814
01:10:30,160 --> 01:10:32,961
There's a light inside you,
Lizzie,

1815
01:10:32,996 --> 01:10:36,497
and I don't even know
if you realize it.

1816
01:10:36,533 --> 01:10:39,634
When you're around anyone,
you...

1817
01:10:39,703 --> 01:10:40,702
You make them better,

1818
01:10:40,737 --> 01:10:43,371
just by being
around them.

1819
01:10:43,440 --> 01:10:44,973
I mean, look at me.

1820
01:10:45,008 --> 01:10:45,940
I mean, suddenly,

1821
01:10:45,976 --> 01:10:46,941
settling down

1822
01:10:47,010 --> 01:10:48,810
doesn't make me want
to run and hide.

1823
01:10:52,682 --> 01:10:55,149
Come to Athens with me,

1824
01:10:55,185 --> 01:10:58,753
and then let's just see
where it goes.

1825
01:11:00,590 --> 01:11:01,489
[Lizzie]: kip,

1826
01:11:01,524 --> 01:11:05,093
this is...
The kindest thing

1827
01:11:05,128 --> 01:11:09,030
anyone has ever said
or done for me,

1828
01:11:09,099 --> 01:11:10,798
and I would love nothing more

1829
01:11:10,867 --> 01:11:13,501
than to go to
Athens with you...

1830
01:11:13,536 --> 01:11:15,003
[Kip laughs]

1831
01:11:20,710 --> 01:11:21,743
But I can't.

1832
01:11:29,886 --> 01:11:32,787
You're a good man, kip...

1833
01:11:32,822 --> 01:11:35,657
But my heart belongs
to someone else.

1834
01:11:38,628 --> 01:11:39,861
I think

1835
01:11:39,929 --> 01:11:41,663
I just realized that tonight.

1836
01:11:45,035 --> 01:11:46,701
I'm sorry.

1837
01:11:46,770 --> 01:11:49,103
Um, well...

1838
01:11:49,139 --> 01:11:51,239
My brother is a good man,

1839
01:11:51,308 --> 01:11:53,941
and really,
i just want you...

1840
01:11:53,977 --> 01:11:55,276
And him...

1841
01:11:55,312 --> 01:11:57,145
To be happy.

1842
01:11:59,149 --> 01:12:00,815
I think I'm going
to go upstairs.

1843
01:12:00,884 --> 01:12:02,817
I'm done celebrating
for the night.

1844
01:12:02,852 --> 01:12:04,519
Thank you.

1845
01:12:08,992 --> 01:12:11,326
Merry Christmas,
Lizzie richfield.

1846
01:12:11,361 --> 01:12:13,328
Merry Christmas.

1847
01:12:20,570 --> 01:12:21,736
Have a good night.

1848
01:12:27,077 --> 01:12:29,677
Thank you very
much for coming.

1849
01:12:29,713 --> 01:12:31,612
Hey, Sloane,
any sign of Robert?

1850
01:12:31,648 --> 01:12:33,047
No.

1851
01:12:33,083 --> 01:12:34,315
Hmm.

1852
01:12:36,119 --> 01:12:38,319
Hey, have you guys seen Robert?

1853
01:12:38,388 --> 01:12:39,287
No, not in a while.

1854
01:12:39,356 --> 01:12:40,888
Lizzie?

1855
01:12:40,924 --> 01:12:42,957
I am Gladys vanderton.

1856
01:12:42,992 --> 01:12:45,293
Yes, of the Virginia
vandertons,

1857
01:12:45,362 --> 01:12:46,494
and you have done

1858
01:12:46,529 --> 01:12:48,963
the most exceptional
job here.

1859
01:12:48,998 --> 01:12:51,065
Thank you.
That really means a lot to me.

1860
01:12:51,101 --> 01:12:52,700
Anyway,

1861
01:12:52,736 --> 01:12:54,569
I'm having a little soiree
on Valentine's day...

1862
01:12:54,604 --> 01:12:55,837
Small, intimate,

1863
01:12:55,905 --> 01:12:57,105
only 200 people,

1864
01:12:57,140 --> 01:12:59,540
and I would love
to retain your services.

1865
01:13:02,011 --> 01:13:03,578
To plan it.

1866
01:13:03,613 --> 01:13:05,279
You do plan parties,
don't you?

1867
01:13:06,383 --> 01:13:07,448
She does.

1868
01:13:07,484 --> 01:13:10,351
She plans the most
magnificent ones around.

1869
01:13:11,588 --> 01:13:13,388
I believe that.

1870
01:13:13,456 --> 01:13:14,922
Here's my card.

1871
01:13:14,958 --> 01:13:16,624
Call me.

1872
01:13:16,693 --> 01:13:17,992
Thank you.

1873
01:13:19,195 --> 01:13:20,161
[They laugh]

1874
01:13:20,196 --> 01:13:21,763
What did I tell you?

1875
01:13:21,798 --> 01:13:24,165
Sometimes your
thing finds you.

1876
01:13:31,708 --> 01:13:32,607
Robert, where
are you going?

1877
01:13:34,878 --> 01:13:35,710
I'm going
back to the city.

1878
01:13:35,745 --> 01:13:36,978
Why?

1879
01:13:37,013 --> 01:13:38,980
Because there's nothing
left for me here, Sloane.

1880
01:13:39,015 --> 01:13:40,882
Don't go.

1881
01:13:40,917 --> 01:13:42,750
It's Christmas Eve.

1882
01:13:42,786 --> 01:13:43,518
This has been the best
Christmas we've had

1883
01:13:43,553 --> 01:13:44,786
in years.

1884
01:13:44,821 --> 01:13:46,587
We're all just starting
to find each other.

1885
01:13:46,623 --> 01:13:48,623
I can finish
the sale from D.C.

1886
01:14:04,007 --> 01:14:05,573
Have either of you seen Robert?

1887
01:14:08,178 --> 01:14:09,177
All we know
is that he left,

1888
01:14:09,212 --> 01:14:10,945
and kip is holed up
in his room

1889
01:14:10,980 --> 01:14:12,380
and doesn't want
to talk to anyone.

1890
01:14:13,750 --> 01:14:15,416
Well, that's probably my fault.

1891
01:14:18,054 --> 01:14:19,520
Everything was going so well.

1892
01:14:19,556 --> 01:14:21,422
We were together.

1893
01:14:21,491 --> 01:14:24,759
Why would Robert leave
without saying anything?

1894
01:14:24,794 --> 01:14:27,962
Evidently,
his work here was done.

1895
01:14:27,997 --> 01:14:29,096
That's what he told Sloane.

1896
01:14:31,167 --> 01:14:33,734
Go home, Lizzie.

1897
01:14:33,803 --> 01:14:35,603
Spend the rest of your Christmas

1898
01:14:35,638 --> 01:14:36,938
with your mother
and your sister.

1899
01:14:36,973 --> 01:14:38,573
I'm sure they'd rather be home
tonight anyway.

1900
01:14:38,608 --> 01:14:40,808
No, I don't want
to leave you alone.

1901
01:14:40,844 --> 01:14:43,478
Sloane and Jackson
and the two boys are here.

1902
01:14:43,546 --> 01:14:44,879
We'll have Christmas together.

1903
01:14:44,914 --> 01:14:46,314
But there's so much to be done.

1904
01:14:46,349 --> 01:14:48,149
Cleaning up
after the party, and...

1905
01:14:48,184 --> 01:14:49,817
Gerard and i
will take care of it.

1906
01:14:51,454 --> 01:14:52,353
Everyone should be
with their family

1907

on Christmas.

[Fire crackling]

1909
01:15:18,615 --> 01:15:20,314
I left him two messages
saying I need to talk to him.

1910
01:15:20,350 --> 01:15:21,282
No response.

1911
01:15:23,086 --> 01:15:26,087
Last night, everything
seemed so clear.

1912
01:15:26,122 --> 01:15:28,689

like something was happening.

he was different
the past few weeks...

In a good way, I mean.

You know,
i let myself get too close.

I got caught up
in their world...

But this is me.

Here is where I belong.

And who knows
what the future holds?

1922
01:15:53,550 --> 01:15:54,849
And now you've seen
what happens

1923

when you're open
to all the possibilities.

1924

Yes, you found
yourself there, Lizzie.

It's all happening.

1930
01:16:10,433 --> 01:16:11,332
So...

1931
01:16:14,037 --> 01:16:15,303

other on Christmas?

You're a hard
one to find.

My first mistake was not
checking your office.

for me to come get her.

When you get to be my age,
Robert,

1945
01:17:19,302 --> 01:17:24,271
you start to consider,
what will my legacy be?

It's about
the people who fill it,

when you were there.
