1
00:00:18,976 --> 00:00:20,694
Santa's council has decided, -

2
00:00:20,856 --> 00:00:24,644
- that Santa 39 has to take
the Santa Claus exam again.

3
00:00:25,816 --> 00:00:29,332
Fate wants him to get
the most difficult task, -

4
00:00:29,496 --> 00:00:34,934
- as the world of Santa Claus
has known in its 672-year history:

5
00:00:35,096 --> 00:00:38,690
The Andersen family,
which denied everything, -

6
00:00:38,856 --> 00:00:40,973
- what has to do with
Christmas for 20 years.

7
00:00:42,136 --> 00:00:46,494
As a Santa Claus helper, 39
got the Santa Claus aspirant Frits.

8
00:01:19,056 --> 00:01:25,734
Yes... Things are a little
different here, but cozy.

9
00:01:27,896 --> 00:01:29,855
Yes, you have collected
some things over the years.

10
00:01:32,016 --> 00:01:35,215
I'll also get my own sometime
when I graduate to Santa Claus.

11
00:01:43,536 --> 00:01:47,211
No, no, no, no.

12
00:01:49,376 --> 00:01:50,970
Isn't that one of those screens, -

13
00:01:51,136 --> 00:01:53,048
- where can you look
into people's living rooms?

14
00:01:54,216 --> 00:01:55,525
Yes.

15
00:01:55,696 --> 00:01:59,894
We got that from some American
Santa Clauses a few years ago.

16
00:02:00,056 --> 00:02:03,253
In the past we sent elfs
down into the families to see, -

17
00:02:03,416 --> 00:02:05,771
- what was happening, but it
cannot be answered any longer, -

18
00:02:05,936 --> 00:02:08,086
- after we have received the new system.

19
00:02:08,256 --> 00:02:10,292
It is smart.

20
00:02:10,456 --> 00:02:14,210
I'm actually quite happy, because
I've decided to study to Santa Claus.

21
00:02:14,376 --> 00:02:18,164
Then us two can just
sit and fix everything.

22
00:02:18,336 --> 00:02:20,725
Frits, listen here.

23
00:02:21,896 --> 00:02:24,252
The Andersen family has
not had Christmas for 20 years.

24
00:02:25,416 --> 00:02:28,807
We must go down and
get to know them better.

25
00:02:32,016 --> 00:02:34,166
Shall you, or shall I?

26
00:02:35,336 --> 00:02:39,126
Of course you should.
I can't go until the 24th.

27
00:02:39,296 --> 00:02:43,687
- That's right, you're Santa Claus.
- Lets see what happens.

28
00:02:43,856 --> 00:02:50,967
- What shall we see?
- The Andersen family, of course.

29
00:02:52,136 --> 00:02:54,412
Oh yeah. They are the ones
who need to be solved.

30
00:02:57,536 --> 00:03:00,096
That is Tage Andersen.

31
00:03:00,256 --> 00:03:03,487
- That seems very normal.
- Just wait.

32
00:03:13,536 --> 00:03:16,369
Look, Tage, the
gin is here again.

33
00:03:16,536 --> 00:03:19,608
And we have food in the
cupboards right up until New Year.

34
00:03:19,776 --> 00:03:22,415
None of us has to
go outside a door.

35
00:03:23,576 --> 00:03:24,806
Isn't that nice?

36
00:03:24,976 --> 00:03:29,811
- Who is that?
- It's Aase Andersen.

37
00:03:29,976 --> 00:03:35,653
- H.C. Andersen?
- No, Aase Andersen, Tage's wife.

38
00:03:40,056 --> 00:03:42,445
Are you about to make status?

39
00:03:42,616 --> 00:03:46,325
You can say that. I'm trying
to sort out some old papers.

40
00:03:46,496 --> 00:03:52,332
Here are some fine old sheet
music and clippings and brochures.

41
00:03:52,496 --> 00:03:55,647
Let me know if you find any
pictures from this summer.

42
00:03:56,816 --> 00:03:59,365
Do you remember how brown I was?.
Almost golden.

43
00:04:02,136 --> 00:04:04,492
How strange it must
be for you, Tage.

44
00:04:05,656 --> 00:04:08,252
It's like the sun never
calls your number.

45
00:04:13,096 --> 00:04:16,532
Now you have to see, Frits.
There comes their daughter, Putte.

46
00:04:31,136 --> 00:04:33,491
Listen here.
I have to write an essay, -

47
00:04:33,656 --> 00:04:36,728
- and the free subject where
one must use ones imagination.

48
00:04:36,896 --> 00:04:38,534
What should I write about?

49
00:04:38,696 --> 00:04:40,288
Putte, I was talking to your teacher.

50
00:04:40,456 --> 00:04:42,970
You do not have to come
to school before January.

51
00:04:43,136 --> 00:04:45,411
It's harmful to a
young girl like you -

52
00:04:45,576 --> 00:04:47,806
- to go outside a
door this month.

53
00:04:47,976 --> 00:04:49,932
- Well, mother.
- No buts at all.

54
00:04:50,096 --> 00:04:55,011
I'll tell you, it's hideous out there,
Putte, with it hanging everywhere.

55
00:04:55,256 --> 00:05:00,614
- What's that hanging there?
- Nothing, Putte.

56
00:05:00,776 --> 00:05:05,372
Don't worry, mum and dad will stay at
home and look after you, right, Tage?

57
00:05:05,536 --> 00:05:08,414
Yes, quite as we usually do.

58
00:05:08,576 --> 00:05:11,648
So I don't have to write
that stupid essay, then?

59
00:05:11,816 --> 00:05:15,855
Of course you do. I have promised
your teacher, you do not fall behind.

60
00:05:16,016 --> 00:05:18,132
It's wildly strict.

61
00:05:19,296 --> 00:05:22,255
Now we have to start
sewing my old dresses for you.

62
00:05:22,416 --> 00:05:24,566
Several of them can easily be laid out.

63
00:05:24,736 --> 00:05:26,806
(door bell)

64
00:05:27,976 --> 00:05:29,614
I'll fix that.

65
00:05:34,816 --> 00:05:36,694
That's the post.

66
00:05:36,856 --> 00:05:40,451
Putte, enter your room.

67
00:05:49,176 --> 00:05:50,768
What do you want?

68
00:05:50,936 --> 00:05:53,325
- I've got something for you.
- What?

69
00:05:53,496 --> 00:05:54,975
Mail.

70
00:05:55,136 --> 00:05:57,809
Is it the usual, or is there
some junk in between?

71
00:05:57,976 --> 00:06:01,332
- Junk, what do you mean?
- Yes, you...

72
00:06:01,496 --> 00:06:03,646
You know exactly what I mean.

73
00:06:03,816 --> 00:06:06,614
The thing that you threw in to us
yesterday, even though we told you, -

74
00:06:06,776 --> 00:06:09,085
- that we don't want anything
to do with that sort of thing.

75
00:06:09,256 --> 00:06:13,772
Yes, but you can probably
like what the rest of us enjoy.

76
00:06:13,936 --> 00:06:16,006
Say we want
nothing to do with it.

77
00:06:16,176 --> 00:06:18,815
It's almost sad, completely void of...

78
00:06:18,976 --> 00:06:21,968
- Such little innocents...
- Get it away!

79
00:06:22,136 --> 00:06:24,604
- It is perfectly natural thing.
- Get it away!

80
00:06:25,776 --> 00:06:28,894
Now you have to see what I have.
There are pretty images in it.

81
00:06:29,056 --> 00:06:31,616
Can you just throw it out!

82
00:06:31,776 --> 00:06:33,767
Are you sure?
It's almost a shame.

83
00:06:33,936 --> 00:06:36,928
- Should I go overboard?
- No, no.

84
00:06:38,096 --> 00:06:41,851
So, now it's gone.
You sure are some weird ones.

85
00:06:42,016 --> 00:06:44,246
It wasn't us who
did something wrong.

86
00:06:44,416 --> 00:06:46,976
They are the ones who
make what you share.

87
00:06:47,136 --> 00:06:50,924
THEY have a strained relationship with...
I probably don't need to say more.

88
00:06:52,096 --> 00:06:54,133
And we pride ourselves
on not getting carried away.

89
00:06:55,296 --> 00:06:58,687
So our daughter can grow up in a
healthy and sober home environment.

90
00:06:58,856 --> 00:07:02,371
It's perfectly fine with me.
To each their own taste.

91
00:07:02,536 --> 00:07:05,926
Hell and tits, I'm the
one who's gone.

92
00:07:26,976 --> 00:07:30,446
- That is very strange, isn't it?
- Yes, Frits.

93
00:07:32,616 --> 00:07:34,529
Otherwise, I have experienced
many strange things.

94
00:07:34,696 --> 00:07:38,164
Families who didn't give each
other Christmas presents, -

95
00:07:38,336 --> 00:07:40,294
- because they wanted to
wait until the January sale.

96
00:07:40,456 --> 00:07:44,529
And then there are some who go on
holiday for the whole month of December.

97
00:07:45,696 --> 00:07:51,565
And some people never buy Christmas trees,
or don't want to bake their own little ones.

98
00:07:51,856 --> 00:07:57,134
But I have never experienced
a family so hostile to Christmas -

99
00:07:57,296 --> 00:07:58,730
- like that Andersen family.

100
00:07:58,896 --> 00:08:02,172
It was also unfortunate
that you just had to pull them.

101
00:08:03,336 --> 00:08:05,294
Yes.

102
00:08:07,456 --> 00:08:11,213
- But in return I got you, Frits.
- Oh yeah.

103
00:08:13,376 --> 00:08:20,248
I didn't have that in mind.
That's what you call luck in misfortune.

104
00:08:26,416 --> 00:08:27,565
There is Futte.

105
00:08:28,216 --> 00:08:31,492
I don't think there should
be sleeves in that dress.

106
00:08:31,656 --> 00:08:34,887
Now let's see if you
are allowed to take it.

107
00:08:35,056 --> 00:08:38,014
I don't know what to write
about in that stupid essay.

108
00:08:38,176 --> 00:08:41,407
Then write about the time you
were in Paris to look for clothes to me.

109
00:08:41,576 --> 00:08:43,294
I was only 5 there.

110
00:08:43,456 --> 00:08:47,244
So what?  I can remember all
the way back from when I was 2.

111
00:08:47,416 --> 00:08:51,045
- Aase, when you were 2...
- I can, Tage.

112
00:08:51,216 --> 00:08:53,571
I assure you. Hear me in it.

113
00:08:53,736 --> 00:08:56,045
(rumbling sounds)

114
00:09:00,936 --> 00:09:05,691
God, a water pipe burst.
We are all drowning.

115
00:09:08,256 --> 00:09:09,770
Don't worry, I'll fix it.

116
00:09:11,936 --> 00:09:14,326
Don't you think it is better to
call for a real gas and water plumber?

117
00:09:15,776 --> 00:09:21,089
So, Frits. Get ready.
You must go down to the Andersen family.

118
00:09:21,256 --> 00:09:23,816
- And, Putte?
- Yes.

119
00:09:28,536 --> 00:09:31,608
And you must be a gas and water plumber.

120
00:09:33,416 --> 00:09:36,726
Take this here.

121
00:09:37,896 --> 00:09:43,926
Go down to Andersen's
and try to poke them a little.

122
00:09:44,096 --> 00:09:47,008
Then I look at the screen
and see what happens.

123
00:09:47,176 --> 00:09:51,966
Talk to them a little about Christmas.
Feel the world, feel your way forward.

124
00:09:55,096 --> 00:10:04,528
- Frits, watch out for mirrors.
- Mirrors? Why?

125
00:10:07,696 --> 00:10:11,851
Just for your own sake.
Avoid mirrors.

126
00:10:17,027 --> 00:10:19,836
(the doorbell rings)

127
00:10:29,887 --> 00:10:32,196
It is the gas and water plumber.

128
00:10:36,647 --> 00:10:40,765
- It is the gas and water plumber.
- The gas and water plumber?

129
00:10:40,927 --> 00:10:42,918
The gas and water plumber?

130
00:10:46,047 --> 00:10:48,959
Why is it only Tage who is
allowed to open the main door?

131
00:10:49,127 --> 00:10:52,642
How can a craftsman
arrive before you call for him?

132
00:10:52,807 --> 00:10:57,244
Can Putte really write essay,
and what is it that hangs and dangles?

133
00:10:57,407 --> 00:10:59,762
Will it ever succeed Santa Claus 39 -

134
00:10:59,927 --> 00:11:03,078
- to get through this
orgy hostility to Christmas.

135
00:11:03,247 --> 00:11:07,160
And why should Frits avoid mirrors?

136
00:11:07,327 --> 00:11:10,000
Follow the Christmas
crime thriller comedy.

137
00:11:10,167 --> 00:11:13,000
Next chapter coming
tomorrow on this channel.
