1
00:00:19,692 --> 00:00:23,507
Santa Claus 39 has promised the Santa
Claus Council to explain piece by piece -

2
00:00:23,972 --> 00:00:27,206
- all about the mystery of
the missing Christmas Eve.

3
00:00:27,372 --> 00:00:31,160
About why Santa Claus 68
has been sent money to Bahamas, -

4
00:00:31,332 --> 00:00:34,051
- about why Putte has elf
blood in the veins, -

5
00:00:34,212 --> 00:00:36,726
- about the missing pages
in the Christmas annals, -

6
00:00:36,892 --> 00:00:40,248
- and what happened that
Christmas Eve 19 years ago.

7
00:00:40,712 --> 00:00:44,087
But someone has put sleeping
powder in his beloved port wine.

8
00:00:45,852 --> 00:00:48,291
Who will prevent him from getting
before the Santa Claus council -

9
00:00:49,452 --> 00:00:50,886
- and solve his task.

10
00:01:28,692 --> 00:01:34,210
Yes, the clock is full.
Then he should be here.

11
00:01:34,372 --> 00:01:40,083
He probably had to admit that
he could not cope with the task.

12
00:01:40,252 --> 00:01:46,361
Yes, so much could have happened.
Who knows?

13
00:01:48,052 --> 00:01:49,565
(knocking on the door)

14
00:01:49,732 --> 00:01:51,484
Come in.

15
00:01:58,152 --> 00:02:05,130
Good day, young Frits.
Why don't you have No. 39 with you?

16
00:02:06,932 --> 00:02:13,929
Unfortunately, something
unexpected has happened.

17
00:02:20,972 --> 00:02:26,092
It's the neighbor.
Sorry, I sit and...

18
00:02:26,252 --> 00:02:28,022
Now it doesn't go any further.

19
00:02:28,292 --> 00:02:30,801
This time I'll stay standing
until you buy something.

20
00:02:30,972 --> 00:02:33,088
If I then have to show
myself in all the collections-

21
00:02:33,252 --> 00:02:35,049
- right in front of your own front door.

22
00:02:35,252 --> 00:02:38,210
- Well...
- It doesn't matter what you say.

23
00:02:38,372 --> 00:02:39,964
I know you don't celebrate Christmas, -

24
00:02:40,132 --> 00:02:43,807
- but you can't sit on the 24th
without a present for your wife.

25
00:02:43,972 --> 00:02:45,564
But listen now...

26
00:02:45,732 --> 00:02:50,852
Either you strike now, or
I'll go in and tempt her with it.

27
00:02:53,012 --> 00:02:55,005
No, no!

28
00:02:55,172 --> 00:02:57,970
I count to three,
and I'll start now!

29
00:02:59,572 --> 00:03:05,886
1, 2... 3.

30
00:03:06,052 --> 00:03:09,249
Stop now, I'm buying!
For god sake!

31
00:03:09,412 --> 00:03:13,087
The bra, panties,
tights, whatever.

32
00:03:13,252 --> 00:03:16,608
Only you promise to stay standing here.

33
00:03:20,372 --> 00:03:23,489
They can think she will be happy.

34
00:03:23,652 --> 00:03:26,564
I really hope Aase likes it.

35
00:03:48,692 --> 00:03:51,571
Sorry, I'm late and
sorry for my outfit.

36
00:03:51,732 --> 00:03:54,246
I'll go straight to the point.

37
00:03:56,412 --> 00:03:58,451
The money that has
disappeared over 19 years -

38
00:03:58,612 --> 00:04:00,489
- from the Santa Claus Council's treasury, -

39
00:04:00,652 --> 00:04:04,088
- was sent to a certain
Santa Claus 68, -

40
00:04:04,252 --> 00:04:08,040
- who until recently
lived in the Bahamas.

41
00:04:08,212 --> 00:04:11,124
Bahamas?

42
00:04:11,292 --> 00:04:16,412
This Santa Claus 68 had the
Andersen family on his route.

43
00:04:16,572 --> 00:04:21,168
Back then, a quite ordinary
family who loved Christmas.

44
00:04:21,332 --> 00:04:25,803
But when he retired, he handed
over the route to someone else.

45
00:04:26,012 --> 00:04:28,845
The Andersen family had
this second the year after, -

46
00:04:29,012 --> 00:04:33,688
- and since then the Andersen
family has not celebrated Christmas.

47
00:04:33,852 --> 00:04:37,527
Can't we find out who
that Santa Claus was?

48
00:04:37,692 --> 00:04:41,446
Under normal circumstances
one could have found the name-

49
00:04:41,612 --> 00:04:43,409
- in the Christmas Annals, -

50
00:04:43,572 --> 00:04:46,723
- but the person concerned
has removed any evidence -

51
00:04:46,892 --> 00:04:50,009
- on his association
with the Andersen family.

52
00:04:51,172 --> 00:04:54,529
Santa Claus 68 must know
who took over the family?

53
00:04:54,692 --> 00:04:58,207
Yes, but that is exactly why
the person sent him money -

54
00:04:58,372 --> 00:05:01,648
- to keep him on Bahamas.

55
00:05:01,812 --> 00:05:05,771
I really hope you
have proof of your claim.

56
00:05:05,932 --> 00:05:09,322
Who is it?
Let's get to it, shall we?

57
00:05:12,092 --> 00:05:13,990
Santa Claus 68 could tell, -

58
00:05:14,852 --> 00:05:17,811
- that the Santa who took
over the route after him...

59
00:05:20,092 --> 00:05:22,890
... was you, Santa Claus 3.

60
00:05:23,052 --> 00:05:27,125
What? Santa Claus 3.

61
00:05:27,292 --> 00:05:30,329
They could not become member
of the Santa Claus Council, -

62
00:05:30,492 --> 00:05:34,929
- if you were not in possession
of a full-clean-elf certificate.

63
00:05:35,092 --> 00:05:38,880
You had that too right up until
that Christmas Eve 19 years ago, -

64
00:05:39,052 --> 00:05:42,124
- because then something
happened which is so terrible, -

65
00:05:42,292 --> 00:05:46,570
- that it had to be
hidden at all costs, right?

66
00:05:46,732 --> 00:05:48,802
Yes.

67
00:05:48,972 --> 00:05:54,683
In my studies of the family,
thanks to my assistant, Frits, -

68
00:05:55,852 --> 00:05:59,528
- was able to ascertain that the only one
who, really dislikes Christmas, -

69
00:06:00,692 --> 00:06:04,925
- is Aase Andersen, but the
pieces first fell into place, -

70
00:06:05,092 --> 00:06:08,926
- when we could determine
that Putte is half elf -

71
00:06:09,092 --> 00:06:13,882
- and conceived that
Christmas Eve 19 years ago.

72
00:06:14,052 --> 00:06:17,283
What are you trying to say?

73
00:06:20,452 --> 00:06:25,370
That Santa 3 that Christmas
Eve must not have settled with a "ho-ho."

74
00:06:27,532 --> 00:06:31,207
I shall refrain from going
into details, but simply state, -

75
00:06:31,372 --> 00:06:35,206
- Santa Claus 3 is father to Putte.

76
00:06:36,372 --> 00:06:40,571
Never in my life!
I have never ever...

77
00:06:40,732 --> 00:06:44,771
How will you then explain
Putte having elf blood in the veins?

78
00:06:44,932 --> 00:06:48,368
I cannot do that either.

79
00:06:48,532 --> 00:06:51,524
I am quite rightly guilty
of the other charges.

80
00:06:52,692 --> 00:06:59,167
- but I have never had anything
to do with Aase Andersen.

81
00:07:00,332 --> 00:07:05,202
A few days ago I sent Aase
Andersen a portrait of you, -

82
00:07:07,372 --> 00:07:08,091
- and when she received it, -

83
00:07:08,252 --> 00:07:11,688
- she responded with
all signs of recognition.

84
00:07:11,852 --> 00:07:15,731
You must have had
something to do with her.

85
00:07:15,932 --> 00:07:19,129
Then come up with Santa Claus 3.

86
00:07:19,292 --> 00:07:22,489
Yes, I did.

87
00:07:22,652 --> 00:07:26,930
But what actually
happened was as follows.

88
00:07:28,332 --> 00:07:31,722
I had almost completed
my entire route.

89
00:07:31,892 --> 00:07:35,009
I was actually only missing
the Andersen family, -

90
00:07:35,172 --> 00:07:40,929
- and since I had a good time, I
thought I deserved a little break.

91
00:07:41,092 --> 00:07:47,201
So I stopped by the sausage cart and
got myself a pixie beer and a sausage.

92
00:07:50,612 --> 00:07:56,050
I basically went back to the
sleigh, and then it happened.

93
00:07:56,212 --> 00:08:00,364
- What?
- I fell asleep.

94
00:08:00,532 --> 00:08:03,046
Fell asleep?

95
00:08:03,212 --> 00:08:06,921
And I awoke only when the
clock was long past that time, -

96
00:08:07,092 --> 00:08:10,482
- where I should have been
with the Andersen family.

97
00:08:10,652 --> 00:08:13,883
To put it as it was,
there wasn't much left -

98
00:08:14,052 --> 00:08:16,520
- of that Christmas Eve.

99
00:08:16,692 --> 00:08:19,252
I ran off the best
I had learned, -

100
00:08:19,412 --> 00:08:21,972
- and when I finally emerged, I
didn't want to waste time with -

101
00:08:22,132 --> 00:08:24,123
- crawling down through the chimney, -

102
00:08:24,292 --> 00:08:28,410
- so instead I crawl in
through a window, open on a pinch.

103
00:08:28,572 --> 00:08:30,369
It is completely dark in there.

104
00:08:31,532 --> 00:08:34,320
Suddenly someone
is speaking to me.

105
00:08:34,492 --> 00:08:39,691
And I stand face to face
with the lady of the house.

106
00:08:41,852 --> 00:08:44,926
I panic, escape
through the window -

107
00:08:45,092 --> 00:08:50,291
- without so much as
saying Merry Christmas.

108
00:08:51,772 --> 00:08:55,208
It could be bad enough, Santa Claus 3.

109
00:08:55,372 --> 00:08:57,932
But that can hardly have
been reason enough for, -

110
00:08:58,092 --> 00:09:02,768
- that Aase Andersen has
detested Christmas ever since.

111
00:09:02,932 --> 00:09:06,163
No, she may well
have been startled, -

112
00:09:06,332 --> 00:09:09,608
- but not to such an extent.

113
00:09:09,772 --> 00:09:15,404
It also doesn't explain
why Putte is half-elf.

114
00:09:15,572 --> 00:09:17,164
So there is
something I must say.

115
00:09:17,332 --> 00:09:20,529
- Not right now, Frits.
- But it's important.

116
00:09:20,692 --> 00:09:23,968
- What is it then?
- Putte isn't an elf.

117
00:09:26,132 --> 00:09:28,523
What nonsense is that?
You did the blood test yourself.

118
00:09:28,692 --> 00:09:31,604
You yourself said that I couldn't have
a Putte because she was human, -

119
00:09:31,772 --> 00:09:34,570
- so I turned her into an elf.

120
00:09:34,732 --> 00:09:36,768
What have you done?

121
00:09:36,932 --> 00:09:40,641
I put a little of my own blood
into Putte's blood sample.

122
00:09:40,812 --> 00:09:43,531
Do you realize what you have done?

123
00:09:43,692 --> 00:09:47,970
I was not aware that it had
such serious consequences.

124
00:09:48,132 --> 00:09:54,605
Their story begins to fall apart
little by little, Santa Claus 39.

125
00:09:57,772 --> 00:10:02,201
I must admit that I
jumped to conclusions.

126
00:10:05,372 --> 00:10:09,005
They are allowed to wait with
the final solution until tomorrow.

127
00:10:10,172 --> 00:10:11,811
How you were
supposed to achieve that -

128
00:10:11,972 --> 00:10:15,089
- and at the same time get the
family in the Christmas spirit, -

129
00:10:15,252 --> 00:10:18,562
- I have immense difficulty seeing.

130
00:10:24,012 --> 00:10:28,210
Hello, 39! Just one last thing.

131
00:10:28,372 --> 00:10:31,045
Why on earth were you late?

132
00:10:38,852 --> 00:10:41,320
Honoured Santa Claus 3, -

133
00:10:41,492 --> 00:10:46,122
- if you want to put someone out of the
game with sleeping powder a second time, -

134
00:10:46,292 --> 00:10:50,843
- so be careful not to forget the
pixie broom at the scene of crime.

135
00:10:56,052 --> 00:10:57,921
Santa Claus 3, show us the broom!

136
00:10:59,772 --> 00:11:04,687
The tassel? It's always been there.

137
00:11:08,812 --> 00:11:13,886
Again your explanation limps,
Santa Claus 39.

138
00:11:18,532 --> 00:11:21,811
How about your broom, Santa 2?
Can we see it?

139
00:11:24,212 --> 00:11:25,930
Naturally.

140
00:11:31,212 --> 00:11:33,806
I said must we see it!

141
00:11:40,052 --> 00:11:42,410
It must have fallen off.

142
00:11:42,572 --> 00:11:44,447
It would probably suit
your brother-in-law well, -

143
00:11:44,612 --> 00:11:48,410
- if 39 didn't make it.

144
00:11:50,972 --> 00:11:55,887
I am ashamed that 2
such esteemed councilors -

145
00:11:57,052 --> 00:12:00,204
- to that extent have
abused their position.

146
00:12:00,372 --> 00:12:04,968
This will have serious
consequences for both of them.

147
00:12:05,132 --> 00:12:08,841
Firstly, Santa 3, You have to
hand in the papers immediately, -

148
00:12:09,012 --> 00:12:11,526
- They have removed from the Christmas annals.

149
00:12:25,812 --> 00:12:28,042
So I'm terribly embarrassed.

150
00:12:28,212 --> 00:12:31,204
It was also a terribly embarrassing
situation you got me into, Frits, -

151
00:12:31,372 --> 00:12:34,682
- but there is no time
to sit and cry about it.

152
00:12:34,852 --> 00:12:37,685
- So I'm terribly embarrassed.
- Stop it.

153
00:12:37,852 --> 00:12:40,764
Give me the Christmas annals.

154
00:12:42,652 --> 00:12:47,987
When I behave like this here, I
don't deserve to have her at all.

155
00:12:48,507 --> 00:12:55,583
You could say that in a way I
have been punished enough.

156
00:12:55,747 --> 00:12:58,820
I never get the one I love.

157
00:12:58,987 --> 00:13:06,096
No, you won't unless...

158
00:13:06,267 --> 00:13:08,497
Unless what?

159
00:13:08,667 --> 00:13:14,139
That you want it so much that
you become human yourself.

160
00:13:14,307 --> 00:13:17,379
- Can you do that?
- Yes.

161
00:13:17,547 --> 00:13:21,938
But who wants to be mortal and
never be allowed to be Santa Claus?

162
00:13:27,907 --> 00:13:31,617
It is not the last time you
are allowed to visit the family.

163
00:13:33,747 --> 00:13:38,581
Does Aase Andersen get
French underwear for Christmas, after all?

164
00:13:38,747 --> 00:13:39,977
Will Frits choose to study
further for Christmas, -

165
00:13:40,147 --> 00:13:44,562
- or does he want to be human
so he can get his beloved Putte?

166
00:13:44,627 --> 00:13:48,615
How can Frits ever show
up at the Andersen family, -

167
00:13:48,787 --> 00:13:50,142
- that he so rudely has
taken by the nose?

168
