Hey, nick.

I have something really
wonderful I wanted to tell you.

You're too far away.

Sorry, I'm just gonna
move a little closer.

So much better.

I wanted to
tell you something.

Um, it's important.
I, uh...

Nick, dinner's ready!

Nick?

How can you
tinker up here

When the awesomeness
of my cooking

Is wafting its way
through the house?

Nick?

Where are you?

Nick? You promised,
no reindeer training
before dinner!

Nick?

Whoo-hooo!

Ha! Thatsaboy!
Come on, thataway!

Pull up right about here.
Step to the beat, boys!

Step to the beat!

Whoo-hooo!

Faster faster faster!

Slower. Slower! Slower.

That's not slow.

Abort! Abort!

Aboooooooort!

Not funny.
So not funny.

Oh, you guys
think that's funny?

What part of "abort"
don't you understand?

Send me through the air.
Laugh it up, laugh it up, snowy.

You think that's funny?

You think that's funny,
buddy?

It's not funny.

What is with you guys?

You know, I wouldn't
have to do the test ride
with the dogs

If you would get airborne!

Laugh it up,
you lazy furballs.

Look at you guys.
You guys are supposed to
be training;

You're supposed to be
paying attention and training.

You don't think
I'll take the dogs?

Oh, I'll take the dogs!

And no more snacking!

( Belches )

Cute.

- ( Belching )
- very cute.

( Reindeer moans )

( Nick grunting )

Holy... Fat farm.

( Electrical whirring )

( Pop music playing )

Woman:
one, two, three, four.

Shoulder, shoulder,
roll it.

And one, down,
two, down,

Three... Shoulder up,
shoulder up.

In your face,
in your face.

Slide! Here we go, ladies.
Work it.

Shoulder up, shoulder up.
In your face, in your face.

Slide!
Here we go, ladies.

- Work it!
- Whoo! Whoo!

( Girls scream )

( Crashing sounds )

That last move?

I can teach you that
if you'd like.

So what kind of program
were you looking for?

Is your goal to lose some
weight or gain some muscle?

Lose weight.
Definitely to lose weight.

- I need something quick.
- Let me guess... You want
results by christmas, right?

Christmas eve,
to be exact.

- Three days?
- Yeah.

Well, I suppose it's possible
to lose a few pounds.

No, a few pounds.

Um, not just
a few pounds.

More like...
More like lbs.

Not for me.
No, I got the old
rock-hard abs, you know.

Need some clothes
that need washing?
Tiketa-tiketa-tiketa.

I'm your guy.
No, I got these friends
who are snacking...

- Mm-hmm.
- ...between meals.

Grazing, I should say...
Power grazing,
more like it.

I mean, we are talking
zero self-control.

Their attitude seems
to be, "why stop at one
bale of hay"

"When we can have
three bales of hay?"

Now we got a problem,
okay?

Because normally it
takes me about feet
of tarmac

To get the old
sleigh airborne,

But now I can
run 'em flush the length
of a football field

And they would
not clear your
grandmother's mistletoe.

Maybe we should say
the program's for me.

( Radio playing jazz )

Mmm.
This is really good,

If I do say so myself.

I'm really glad that we got
to spend some time together.

You're very cute
when you eat.

( Turns off radio )

With everything
there was to do, buddy,

Nick's parents always
seemed to find time for
each other at christmas.

( Dog barking )

( Wind howling )

( Electrical whirring )

Go on, get up there,
you naughty boy.

Get physical.
Come on, get...

You gotta get in
the fat-burning zone.
You're not burning.

Hit "manual." Hit "manual."
Get in the zone.

Nick, what is all this?

Ah, sandy, we're exercising.
We're exercising, right, guys?

I got a treadmill,
I got myself a stairmaster,

I got myself an antler-pull,
I got myself a jump rope.

( Groans )

We're working on
the jump rope.

And at : ,
we're gonna do some yoga.

They're a little
iffy with it. They don't
like some of the poses.

Won't do downward dog.
I don't know why.

- They wanna do
"downward deer."
- Nick!

You were gone for hours.
I was worried about you.

- I made a big dinner...
- Yeah.

...and we were gonna
decorate the tree.

You know, this was gonna
be our christmas

Before things with the regular
christmas got too crazy.

What?
Oh, yeah.

Honey, I'm... I'm sorry.

I just, you know,
I lost track of time getting
all this equipment.

All this gym equipment?

Yeah, I gotta put
the guys through boot camp.

Boot camp? Hoof camp?
Hoof camp.

- 'Cause they're getting
too fat to fly.
- Too fat?

Yeah, fat, they're...
They're zaftig,
they're full-figured,

They're rubinesque,
they're fat.
They're fat.

Someone's been
indulging their, mmm,
sweet tooth lately.

Right. Am I right?
Right.

Ah, someone? There's only
you and me up here.

Are you saying that
I made the reindeer fat?

No no... Yeah.

Yeah. I mean, not
intentionally,

But you did insist on
taking over the feedings, so...

Well, I was just
trying to help you.

You know, you get
so overwhelmed.

Yeah, I'm under
a lot of pressure. Music!

Where are you going?

We need music,
something to motivate 'em.

"Deck the halls with"...
"Shake your booty"...
Something like that.

"Silent night fever."

Where's all my stuff?

Oh, i...
I straightened up.

No no no...
No straightening.

Santa's messy on purpose
I have everything exactly
the way I want... ( Gasps )

- Where's the book?
- What book?

The book? The book...
The book.

The big old dusty
leather binding...

- Oh, this book?
- That book.

This, sandy, this...
Okay...

Is not just "a" book.
This is "the" book.

It's the job manual...
Everything I need to know

About being father christmas,
santa claus, the big
christmas cheese,

Jolly old st. Nick,
is in this book...

How to fly the sleigh,
how to see them when
they're sleeping,

How to know when
they're awake, how to
know if they've been good,

How to know if they've
been... Sweetheart?

They might be good,
for goodness' sake...

You can touch
anything in here.

What'd I say?

Sandy, come...

I'm under a lot
of pressure here.

Oh, no, I know.
I heard you.

You're the big
christmas cheese,

Father christmas
and jolly st. Nick.

Yeah, but it's
my christmas too.

You know, it's ours,
together.

I put extra egg
in the nog.

I mean, doesn't santa
get to have a christmas too?

Yes, but I'm working,
so...

No. I mean,
it's my second christmas.

I got big boots
to fill and...

- And this is
haphazard tinsel...
- ( Door opens )

- ...hanging...
- ( Reindeer bellows )

Buddy, uh...
Barn, buddy.

You heard me.
Listen, buddy...

No, we're not fighting,
we're just annunciating

Loudly for clarity purposes.
Give us a minute?

Now.

( Snorts )

Thank you, buddy.

You know, tonight was
really important to me.

There was something
I wanted to tell you.

I... When tinsel attacks.
All right.

Why don't...
Why don't you tell me now?

- Okay.
- Okay.

- Okay, I'll tell you
right now.
- Okay.

I'm ready.

It doesn't feel
right now.

- You're not gonna
tell me now.
- No.

Listen,

You knew what you were
getting into last christmas

When you climbed
aboard my sleigh.

D

Yeah, I thought
I did.

Thought you did?
What does that mean?

You think this
was a mistake?

No, it's not that
it was a mistake...
That's crazy.

That's not what
I'm saying.

- What are you saying?
- I don't know.

You don't know?
Okay, well, when you know,

- Let me know. Okay?
- Wait. Where are you going?

- I'm leaving.
- We're in the middle of
an argument.

- You're just gonna walk away?
- I'm gonna make it the end
of an argument.

Okay, fine.
Great. Go.

- Fine, I will.
- Fine.

- Fine!
- Fine!

- Fine.
- You know what?
If there were a door here,

- I would so slam it right now.
- Well, if there were
a door here,

I would slam it after you...
Twice!

Twice? Well, I would open...
I would get the door...

- I won already.
- Dicky pudding.

( Reindeer bellowing )

Not a word,
not a single word.

Yes, she won.

I know where I'm going.
I'm gonna clear my head.

Burn the fat!

Woman:
gustavo, I'm leaving.

These are the numbers to
reach me in an emergency...

Cell, corporate office,
hotel;

The instructions for
his meals, his medications.

- Here are the keys.
- Yeah, I'll take care of him.

Why does christmas always come
at my busiest time of year?

It's just a few days,
dad.

I'm gonna be calling every day.
I'll be back on christmas eve.

- I want you to mind gustavo.
- Mmm.

And promise me you'll stay
away from the old club.

I'm serious.

That building isn't
safe anymore.

( Electrical whirring )

What is that?

What in the world?

- ( Whirring increases )
- nick: whoooaa!

I really gotta work on
my entry skills.

Gustavo:
I don't hear anything
right now.

Maybe it was just
a rat.

Whoa.

Oh, my...
Is he all right?

That's one big rat.

He's breathing.

Hey, excuse me?

What are you doing
in our garage?

Oh, that's a good question.
I was just...

I'm gonna call .

Gustavo, watch him.
Dad, you come with me.

- Dad!
- I'm coming, katie.

When you're santa claus
and things around the house

Get to be not-so-fun,
like, maybe, I don't know,

There's an argument,
you can just fly away.

But me? Oh, no,
I'm on tinsel duty.

But watch this... Hey nick,
it's cool if I just
cover the tree

In tinsel, right?
Oh, no answer?

Cool, I guess that
means "yes."

( Grunts )

( Steady beeping )

( Distant siren wails )

( Fast beeping )

For this I went
to journalism school...

Digging up some sappy
christmas angle at
the local hospital.

Could be worse.
I could be back in studio

Tracking santa's sleigh
on radar.

Sweetie, what d'you got?

We're very busy.

Woman:
are you checking on
room ?

Woman ♪ :
I'm going to check
on it now.

All right.

Okay, honey,

There's nothing to
be frightened of.

No one here
is gonna hurt you.

- Ahh!
- You took a nasty blow
to the head tonight.

- Do you remember?
- No.

Do you know what
today is?

No.

Do you know your name?

Ah, my name.

M-my name...

No.

What... What kind of
place is this?

You're in the hospital.
The doctor needs to
take some tests.

And I am just gonna
give you a little something

To help you relax.

Ahh! It's kinda hard
for me to relax

With you coming at me
with that pointy
needle-looking thing.

Ha ha ha... Ahhh!

Oh, no, you don't!

- Get away from me!
- Get back here.

- Somebody stop him!
- How you doin'?

- Hooo!
- Aw, give him another needle.

- Ahh!
- Stay right there.

Whoa!

Halt!
Look, a kitten.

Don't you go messing with
this tree now, mr. No-memory.

It's for the children.

You stay away from me,
evil pointy-needle lady.

What was in the evil
pointy needle anyway?

- A sedative.
- Sedative? So, ahhh!

The joke's on you.
It's not working.

Aha ha ha, aha ha ha,
ah...

Woman:
someone get me a gurney!

And a new tree.

♪ Baby, you stole my heart ♪

♪ How come you
took it away... ♪

Merry christmas.

Christmas.

I hate christmas.

And I ain't afraid
to say it.

You tell me one good thing
that ever came of it, huh?

An ugly tie,

Dried-up fruit cake.

I hate ugly ties.

You're looking at the ghost
of christmas past.

It wasn't always
like this...

Down on my luck.

I was a world-class
big-game hunter.

I had a lady friend,
sandy.

I was on top
of the world.

Then he came along...

A nothing, nobody...
Steals my girl,

Swipes my flying reindeer.

You're flying what?

I was gonna be rich.

And he took it all...
All of it... On christmas eve.

And if I hear one more
stinkin' christmas carol...

- ( Jukebox record flips )
- ♪ jingle bells! ♪

♪ Jingle bells! ♪

♪ Jingle bells,
jingle bells... ♪

- Ahhh!
- ♪ Through the snow ♪

♪ In a one-horse open... ♪

Woman:
...live at mercy hospital

Where a true christmas
story is unfolding.

- ( Jukebox warbling )
- nick: no, I don't know
my name.

I think I like
vanilla best.

I don't like this boat
very much, though.

- It's not very...
- I told you, you vultures,

He has amnesia.

Reporter:
sir, what is your name?

Nick:
my name... I don't know
my name.

Where did you come from,
sir?

Ooh, something
smells like a...

Well...

Looky what santa stuck
under my christmas tree.

Reporter: for john doe
christmas, there will be no
dashing through the snow,

No halls decked
with holly,

No chestnuts roasting
on an open fire...

Not without the efforts
of you, our loyal viewers.

If any of you out there
know this man, please,

There are three days left
until christmas eve.

Help us get him home.

Ha!

Sandy:
mirror on!

Okay, you are in there

And I am out here.
This cannot be this hard.

Open sesame.

Reindeer monkey!

( Low voice )
it is i, nick.

Ooh!

You guys, any ideas?
Anything?

( Bellows )

How do I know how
to do what he does?

How do I know?
How do I know how to do
what he does?

The santa book!

Yes!

Come on, come on.

Nick said everything
I needed to know

About being santa claus
was in...

This book.

The pages are blank.

Why... Why are all
the pages blank?

( Whooshing sound )

( Coughs )
who opens the book?

Ahhh!
Oh!

Ah, me. Sandy.
Wait, who are you?

Ah, nick has
spoken of you.

I am galfrid...

Keeper of the book!

All that hath been gleaned
of the wizard's spell

Is recorded on
those pages.

Ah, but...
But the pages are blank.

No, it's just
all up here,

Catalogued,
cross-referenced.

You see, I embody
the written words...

All their wisdom,
all their experience.

I must say, thou art
the fairest creature

To have graced this land
in many a century.

Forgive me.

It doth get lonely
within the margins.

Wait, you live inside
this book?

Precisely.

And when a question is
asked of the book.

I am compelled to
appear and respond.
So...

What answers dost
thou seek?

Seek? Ah, my nick-eth...

Hast wandered afar.

Do I have to
talk like that?

Some find it charming.

I need to get through
the mirror and I don't
have nick's magic.

Simple, my dear.

Oh.

Take this, fill it with
snow from our hidden kingdom,

And then sprinkle some
snowflakes over the glass.

And then imagine your
destination and step
through the portal.

Great.

Thank you so much.

B-b-but wait!

Why this journey?

Oh, nick went
through the mirror

And he got amnesia.
So I've got to go find him,

Tell him that
he's santa claus

And that the world needs him,
and bring him home.

My dear, he'd never
believe such a tale.

And if his doubt should
start to grow, the magic will
no longer work.

He must come to it
on his own.

So what should I do?

Steer him,

Protect him
as best you can,

Love him,

But just don't tell him!

Don't tell him...
That's good. Okay.

And for christmas's sakes,
hurry!

Okay!
Thank you.

Ooh, somebody pinch me.

It really is you,
isn't it?

I'm sorry.
Do we know each other?

Tell me it's
not an act.

Tell me that head of yours
is completely empty.

Empty?

Yeah... Yeah.
Are those for me?

Okay.

- Let's skedaddle!
- Skedaddle?

- Get dressed.
We're busting you out.
- Busting out?

- Oh, yeah, you're a sitting
duck in this room.
- Sitting duck?

Okay, less repeating
what I say,

More pulling on the pants.

Right, they don't go
on my head.

I don't understand
what's going on here, though.

Look, here's the thing...

Someone's looking
for you,

Someone you'd rather not
have track you down.

Oh, wait, did i...
Did I do something wrong?

One could say that.
And this person is
jonesing for payback.

Jonesing for payback?
What does that mean?

Bad.

Bad! See, I don't remember
doing anything wrong.

I don't... I don't...
I don't remember anything.

I don't even know
who you are.

Ahh! Me?

I'm just an old
family friend...

Here to get you to
where you should have
gone a long time ago.

It worked!

It worked, you guys!

Everything is gonna be okay.
It is all under control.

I am gonna go
get nick,

You guys stay here and...
And do some hoof...

Hoof-raises;
hoof-ups, hoof...

I don't know.
I don't work out.

Man:
downtown express is leaving
on track ...

Oh, your family's going
to be so happy to see you.

I can't wait to
see them.

- You'll be there
in no time. Trust me.
- Good!

Now how do we know each other?
Did we grow up together?

Did we play ball?
Play cowboys and indians

And chase frogs and hunt
snakes and skin our knees

And skip stones and
have malteds at the diner?

I think I like malteds.
And did we go to
the prom and...

Ooh, who got the girl?

Remember,

You're on the : train
on track . Got it?

: Train, track .
Got it.

Adios, nick.
Have a great trip.

Thank... Whoa, hey...

Okay, now if my instincts
are correct,

Our little bobcat will
be looking for old nickster
at the hospital.

And that's where
I'll be waiting.

( Electric whirring )

Sandy:
ooooo... Ahhhhhh!

( Screams )

Oh... Oh.

Oh.
( Laughs )

Talk about
a wrong turn.

Unless they're serving
up fresh mop today,

That is not
the cafeteria!

No!

Hi. Hello.

Um, I'm here for nick...
Ah, john doe christmas,

The guy with amnesia.

You a reporter?

No no no no!
I am his wife. See?

I gotta call you back.

About your man,

I'm afraid there's been
a complication.

He's all right,
isn't he?

Oh, yes, don't you worry.
He's fine...

At least in theory.
The thing is,

He's missing.

- Missing?
- We've searched the hospital,

There is no trace of him.
Honey, he's more gone

Than the snowman cookies
in the nurses' lounge.

- No, that can't be.
- All we've got is his ring.

We had it removed
when he checked in.

His ring?
That's it?

How could you
let him get away?
What about christmas?

What about the kids?
Who's gonna fly the sleigh?

Who's gonna deliver
the presents?

- Let me check for you.
- Check!

( Dialing )

Yeah, can I get a couple
orderlies up in here?

- Order... Uh-oh.
- That's right.

- Big ones.
- Okay.

Ma'am!
Doctor!

Oh, sorry.
I'll go that way.

Wait, hey.
Mind if I borrow you
for a minute?

- Who are you?
- Oh, they're gonna take
great care of you in there.

Don't even think about
thanking me.

Anyone would have
done the same thing.

Sandy! Don't forget
to call me. Let me know
what the doctor says.

- But I don't have your number.
- Perfect!

- ( Man groans )
- buck, what are you
doing here?

Me? Oh, nothing.
I was out for a drive

And I found this
nice old man in his
overturned car.

There was a fire,
I pulled him out...
No big deal.

But this,
running into you,
this is amazing.

- How you been?
- Well...

What is it, bobcat?

It's nick.
He has amnesia.

- Amnesia?
- And he's missing.

He was in this hospital
and then he just disappeared.

Boy, is that some
kind of luck.

Have you gone to
the police?

No!

Well, look, sandy,

You don't need me being
a distraction right now.

I'll go.

If there's anything
I can do...

Three, two, one...

Buck, wait!

( Laughs )
I only have two days

And I don't know
if I can do it alone.
You're a professional tracker.

Whoa, bobcat,
I track animals.

I know. And I know
that we have history.

I've said mean things
to you in the past,

But I don't know
where else to turn.

Well, don't you fret,
bobcat.

- Really?
- You've come to
the right guy.

Oh! Oh-h*!

Okay.

Woman:
departing in five minutes.

All aboard.

( Snoring )

Man:
now boarding metro express
to cleveland on track...

Ahh! Hey!

Hey!

Come on, man!

Okay, so where are
you going,

And how much am I gonna make
when I cash this in?

( Laughs )

The joke's on you,
you meddlesome and
mischievous imp.

I'm only going on a short
trip to see my family in...

- Bolivia?
- Bolivia! Bolivia?

Bolivia.
Yeah, bolivia.

- I don't feel bolivian.
- Who gave you this?

A friend,
mr. Must-know-it-all.

Doesn't sound like much
of a friend to me.

Sounds more like he wanted
to get rid of you.

You know what? Hey,
that's important.
I drew that.

And what's with
this weird drawing?

Very good drawing and it's...
I don't know what it is.

Then why did you draw it?

- Don't know.
- Who are you?

- I don't know.
- Wait a minute.

Have you lost your memory?
Like you're a total blank?

Could be. Maybe.

Whoa, cool.

Cool?

You know, it really is
pretty bad,

But I've seen this before.

You have?

Here.

I'm ryan.

I don't know
who I am.

I know.

Tell you what...
I can help you with that,

But I'm thinking there's
something you can do for me.

What's that?

( Rock song playing )

( Plates clanking )

Mm, I don't know what they
do to their cheeseburgers here,

But this is amazing.

Gotta be the sauce.

Come on, buck, we have to
get back to searching;
we're losing time.

Nonsense, bobcat.

The first lesson in
the buck seger school
of tracking:

Know your prey.
We gotta get inside his head.

Now tell me, how have things
been between you two?

- Any tension?
- No. No, none.

I mean, we had
a tiny fight.

- Oh?
- It was nothing.

I'm sorry.

Now what if we've been
going about this all wrong?

I mean, we've been looking
for a man who we think is lost.

What if he's a man
that doesn't want to be found?

Do you think he saw
you coming and maybe...

- He took off?
- No.

No. Buck, as soon as
he sees me,

Everything is gonna
come flooding back.

Of course, bobcat.
Forget it.

I am sure you're right.

Merry christmas!

Could you spare some change?
Come on.

Merry christmas.

- Thanks!
- Thank you.

Would it k*ll you to make
with the "h* h* h*" s?

h* h* h*?
This suit is itchy.
It's an itchy suit.

Who wears this
stuff anyway?

Santa claus.

Jolly old st. Nick?

The fat dude with
the reindeer.

- I'll let you in
on a little secret.
- What?

- You're just a distraction.
- Oh, is that right?

- Watch this.
- Where you going?

- Ring the bell.
- I'm ringing.

- Where you going?
- Shhh.

Why are you
shushing me?

- Oh!
- I'm sorry there.

Sorry. He's a clumsy
little elf.

- This is the real gain.
- Ah! Naughty!

- Hey, what...
- Naughty! Hey!

Excuse me.
Excuse me, sir?

Sorry, I think you
may have dropped this.

Oh, no, I have my...

That is my wallet.
Thanks. How'd you...

You're welcome.

- Merry christmas.
- Merry...

- Hey...
- What are you?

- A boy scout?
- What are you?
Some kind of tiny thief?

...that kid...

Now you've done it.
Grab the stuff and come on!

- Go get him!
- Stop!

- Whoo!
- Hey, you!

Stop!
( Blows whistle )

I got it.

Well, if I knew you were
gonna pick up the tab,

I would have ordered
the honey-drenched
christmas fritters.

Oh!
Oh, gosh!

You know what?
I brought the wrong purse.

So, um, would you mind
getting this?

- Sure.
- I'm gonna meet you outside.

( Whistle blowing )

Woman:
hey!

- Ahh!
- Oh!

- Ohh!
- I'm so sorry.

Excuse me. I...

Nick?

Police radio:
suspect is wearing
a red santa suit...

Yeah, that's me,

Jolly old st. Nick.
Uh, little help with the law?

- Ma'am?
- What?

- That man in the santa suit...
- Oh, yeah?

- ...did you see where he went?
- I did.

Uh, yeah, he went right
down that street right there.

- Thank you, thank you.
- Yeah.

- What's this all about?
- It was nick.

He was here.
He had a white beard and
a santa suit.

- He was being
chased by the police.
- Whoa whoa whoa, sandy.

Come on, he went this way.
Before the trail gets cold!

( Groaning )

Hi.

Frustrating beard...

Gah!

Ah, kris kringle!

Easy. Easy there...

Little reindeer.

Fella, I'm not the guy
you think I am.

I just... This is a rental.

It's probably polyester.
Ahh!

Ahh!
When reindeers attack!

Ahhh! Whoa whoa whoa.

h* h* h*!

Good... King wenceslas.

First I lose my memory,

Now I'm losing my mind.

- Nick?
- Hey!

- Oh, sorry.
- Crazy lady.

I'm so sorry. I thought
you were someone else.

Sandy!

Oh, I'm sorry!

Sorry. Have you seen a man
dressed as santa?

Office party.
Big fan of the egg-nog.

I didn't drink
any egg-nog.

You can't keep doing that
to every street santa you see.

But any one of them
could be nick.

It wasn't nick!

Look around...

The snow,
the lights.

It's christmasy here.

If there's one thing
I know about nick,

He's got a real thing
for this holiday.

If I'm supposed to
track him down,

I need to be able
to think like him.

Maybe a cozy stroll
through all this
christmas stuff

Will help trigger
something.

Yeah, but he's here
somewhere.

Tell you what...

Let's call it quits
for tonight.

We'll get a fresh
start tomorrow morning.

Let's go back
to my house.

You shouldn't be
alone tonight.
You can have the bed,

I'll crash on
the couch.

( Bellows softly )

That's so nice of you.

Um, but you know what?
I'm good.

I'm gonna go.
I'll meet up with you tomorrow.

Okay?
Thank you.

Ryan:
psst! Hey, santa!

Get over here.

Come on.

Come on, hurry up.

- Ryan?
- No, it's an elf.

Of course it's me.
Now hurry.

Ow.

( Indistinct
police radio )

What is this place?

It's like some
old club...

One of my hideouts.

Good place
to keep warm.

( Door creaks )

I feel like I know...

This place.

- So where's my ka-chit?
- What?

- The jack.
- Sorry?

- The kitty.
- Come again?

- The chowder.
- I don't follow.

- The money!
- Oh! Oh, the money.

Ha!
You're gonna laugh.

You know, there I was,
running down the street,

You know, we... And I
kinda, boom!

I run into this beautiful
woman and i...

Man:
this is the police!

- Who's in there?
- The cops! Hide.

Hey.

Buddy?
Buddy, where are you?

Buddy?

( Grunts )

Buddy, there you are.
What are you doing here?

What if buck sees you?
What have you been eating?
What is in your mouth?

Oh, icicles.

I forgot to
feed the reindeer.

Don't worry, buddy.
I just gotta find a mirror.

Then I'll be
up there in a flash.
Wait a second.

( Bellows )

Hey, wait.

This is nick's plaid shirt.
You saw him too, didn't you?

( Grunts )

Sandy?

Oh.

Hide!
Go. Go!

Go, hide.

- Hi!
- Is everything all right?

Yes! Totally.

Yeah. Thank you
so much for your help.
You've been awesome.

Well, now, what do
we have here? Tracks.

Reindeer tracks.

( Glass shattering )

( Creaks )

Ahhhh!

Whoa... Ahh,
bright light.

You are the spitting image
of your father, yes.

Though if I'm not mistaken,
you have your mother's eyes.

My moth...

You... You knew
my parents?

We in the secret order
all knew your parents.

But when they stopped coming,
I alone kept the vigil.

I knew in time
you'd take his place.

I still believed...

That you would
come back one day.

Me?
You know me?

Aha. When I saw you
in my garage,

I knew you came back
to restore what was,

To see one last magic
christmas eve

Before my time is gone.

Mm-hmm, mm-hmm.
I'm gonna go with, "huh?"

The feast,
the decorating,
