00:00:12,387 --> 00:00:14,[♪♪♪]

00:00:20,061 --> 00:00:22,[man on radio] The city
of Chicago, it seems,

00:00:22,355 --> 00:00:25,has been taken over
by Christmas elves!

00:00:25,066 --> 00:00:26,[woman] There were barely
enough volunteers to handle

00:00:26,776 --> 00:00:30,the amount of winter clothes
left at all of the shelters.

00:00:30,405 --> 00:00:31,[man] The city has never seen
this level of charity,

00:00:31,906 --> 00:00:35,as they are putting a smile
on early commuters' faces.

00:00:35,577 --> 00:00:37,Okay, so Grandma is gonna
pick you up after school,

00:00:37,996 --> 00:00:39,'cause I have a feeling
I'm gonna be busy

00:00:39,372 --> 00:00:41,with the story
I just landed.

00:00:41,249 --> 00:00:43,Ollie. Oliver!

00:00:43,418 --> 00:00:45,Look, Mom. This is it!

00:00:46,087 --> 00:00:48,Skyflier! Skyflier! Skyflier!

00:00:48,173 --> 00:00:50,Skyflier and accessories
sold separately.

00:00:50,258 --> 00:00:51,Oh, yes, I know, sweetie.

00:00:51,259 --> 00:00:52,You've shown me
about a hundred times.

00:00:52,719 --> 00:00:54,Come on. Pack it up!

00:00:54,095 --> 00:00:55,We gotta go,
or we're gonna be late.

00:00:55,513 --> 00:00:57,Oh, yeah, Mom?

00:00:57,515 --> 00:00:58,Yeah?

00:00:58,558 --> 00:00:59,I forgot.

00:00:59,559 --> 00:01:00,I need to bring in a treat

00:01:00,935 --> 00:01:02,for the teacher/staff
Christmas party.

00:01:04,063 --> 00:01:05,Oliver... [sighing]

00:01:12,781 --> 00:01:14,Okay, here you go, honey.

00:01:14,449 --> 00:01:15,You sure you g***t it?

00:01:15,992 --> 00:01:17,Okay.

00:01:17,035 --> 00:01:18,Mwah! Love you.
Have a good day at school.

00:01:18,578 --> 00:01:19,I love you too.

00:01:19,954 --> 00:01:22,[woman]
Free bus passes for everyone!

00:01:22,624 --> 00:01:25,Merry Christmas!
Free bus pass?

00:01:25,543 --> 00:01:27,Oh... Thank you.

00:01:27,086 --> 00:01:28,-Merry Christmas!
-A free bus pass?

00:01:28,963 --> 00:01:30,Enjoy a free bus pass,
courtesy of Secret Santa!

00:01:30,632 --> 00:01:32,[man]
Oh, this made my day!

00:01:32,133 --> 00:01:33,I can't believe
someone paid my fare.

00:01:33,802 --> 00:01:35,Free bus pass?

00:01:35,804 --> 00:01:37,There is still kindness
out there.

00:01:37,931 --> 00:01:39,Ho, ho, ho!

00:01:39,974 --> 00:01:40,Merry Christmas.

00:01:40,892 --> 00:01:42,-Oh, thank you.
-You're welcome.

00:01:42,477 --> 00:01:43,Another free ride?

00:01:43,812 --> 00:01:46,[Santa]
'Tis the season for giving.

00:01:46,314 --> 00:01:48,Anyone?
-Free bus pass?

00:01:48,483 --> 00:01:50,I guess everyone's too busy
to make a donation.

00:01:50,443 --> 00:01:51,Yeah.

00:01:51,444 --> 00:01:53,'Tis the season
to be overwhelmed.

00:01:53,071 --> 00:01:55,Merry Christmas.

00:01:55,323 --> 00:01:56,[Santa] Merry Christmas.

00:01:58,284 --> 00:02:00,That's not the story I want,
Sydney.

00:02:00,495 --> 00:02:03,I want the story
about the Secret Santa.

00:02:03,414 --> 00:02:05,The one
who donated the clothes,

00:02:05,834 --> 00:02:07,and who, I'm guessing,

00:02:07,168 --> 00:02:10,is responsible for those elves
giving away the bus fares?

00:02:10,129 --> 00:02:11,That's the one.

00:02:11,256 --> 00:02:12,Look, I know that is
a feel-good story too,

00:02:12,966 --> 00:02:14,but I really feel--

00:02:14,175 --> 00:02:17,Look, Sydney, all I want
is the name of the Secret Santa,

00:02:17,178 --> 00:02:18,what he's gonna do next,

00:02:18,346 --> 00:02:19,and I need it first.

00:02:19,514 --> 00:02:20,Because, to be honest,

00:02:20,515 --> 00:02:22,the last few stories
you've brought me

00:02:22,684 --> 00:02:24,were sweet,

00:02:24,018 --> 00:02:26,but yawners.

00:02:26,145 --> 00:02:27,So if you can't get me
what I need,

00:02:27,689 --> 00:02:30,I'll have to start
looking for other journalists.

00:02:30,108 --> 00:02:32,I'll crack who that Santa is
and get you the story you want.

00:02:32,735 --> 00:02:35,I've already g***t
the groundwork interviews.

00:02:35,655 --> 00:02:37,That's what I like to hear.

00:02:37,365 --> 00:02:38,Sorry, Syd,

00:02:38,908 --> 00:02:41,but all's fair game in the world
of freelance journalism.

00:02:46,791 --> 00:02:49,Andy, what
groundwork interviews?

00:02:49,127 --> 00:02:51,Do you mean the elves
from this morning?

00:02:51,337 --> 00:02:52,Spoke to them all,

00:02:52,255 --> 00:02:54,and g***t the Secret Santa
calling card.

00:02:54,048 --> 00:02:55,Same one he left
at the shelters.

00:02:57,051 --> 00:02:58,Secret Santa.

00:03:01,014 --> 00:03:04,"He sprang to his sleigh,
to his team gave a whistle,

00:03:04,601 --> 00:03:08,and away they all flew
like the down of a thistle.

00:03:08,563 --> 00:03:11,But I heard him exclaim,
'ere he drove out of sight,

00:03:11,733 --> 00:03:13,'Happy Christmas to all...'

00:03:13,735 --> 00:03:17,'...And to all
a good night!'"

00:03:17,322 --> 00:03:19,Mom, you're home!

00:03:19,240 --> 00:03:22,Yeah, I made it home
in time to tuck you in.

00:03:22,076 --> 00:03:23,But first...

00:03:23,286 --> 00:03:25,do we need to find Harold?

00:03:25,371 --> 00:03:27,He's been missing since
I came home from school today.

00:03:27,707 --> 00:03:30,Oh! Well, that is curious.

00:03:31,753 --> 00:03:33,Should we go find him?
-Yeah!

00:03:33,379 --> 00:03:34,Come on.

00:03:34,255 --> 00:03:35,Go get him.

00:03:35,882 --> 00:03:37,I want to hear
all about your day.

00:03:37,050 --> 00:03:38,Okay.

00:03:38,259 --> 00:03:39,[Sydney] Cold.

00:03:40,845 --> 00:03:43,Oh, you're getting colder.

00:03:43,431 --> 00:03:46,Oh, you're getting
warmer!

00:03:46,017 --> 00:03:50,Oh, not that warm.
Like medium--

00:03:50,271 --> 00:03:51,Now you're getting hot.

00:03:51,356 --> 00:03:52,Oh! Now you're boiling!

00:03:52,941 --> 00:03:55,-Harold!
-[laughing]

00:03:55,401 --> 00:03:56,Ah, good.

00:03:56,277 --> 00:03:57,Now both of you, hop into bed.

00:03:57,946 --> 00:04:00,[♪♪♪]

00:04:00,949 --> 00:04:03,Gotta get down in there.

00:04:06,037 --> 00:04:07,Mm. [kissing]

00:04:07,455 --> 00:04:08,Love you.

00:04:08,581 --> 00:04:09,I love you too.

00:04:09,624 --> 00:04:11,Good night, Harold.

00:04:18,383 --> 00:04:20,You didn't
have to do this, Mom.

00:04:20,301 --> 00:04:22,Oh, why not?
You do enough.

00:04:22,428 --> 00:04:25,I just packed some leftovers
for Oliver's lunch tomorrow,

00:04:25,306 --> 00:04:26,so you don't
have to worry about it.

00:04:26,808 --> 00:04:28,Thank you.

00:04:28,393 --> 00:04:30,I do not know
what I would do without you.

00:04:30,311 --> 00:04:31,I feel the same way.

00:04:33,815 --> 00:04:35,Everything all right?
-I don't know.

00:04:35,566 --> 00:04:38,I spent the whole day looking
for signs of the Secret Santa

00:04:38,444 --> 00:04:39,that Perry wants to jump on,

00:04:39,654 --> 00:04:41,but I didn't find any,
and if I don't,

00:04:41,823 --> 00:04:44,I lose my connection
with the network,

00:04:44,117 --> 00:04:45,and then I'm just like
with everyone with a cell phone

00:04:45,743 --> 00:04:47,trying to sell a story.

00:04:47,328 --> 00:04:48,Except...

00:04:48,621 --> 00:04:52,not everyone else
is able to spot the unusual

00:04:52,041 --> 00:04:53,like you can.

00:04:53,584 --> 00:04:55,I mean,
even as a little girl,

00:04:55,962 --> 00:04:57,you could spot
the four-leaf clover

00:04:57,505 --> 00:04:59,in a field of green,

00:04:59,173 --> 00:05:02,or a smiling face
in a sea of frowns.

00:05:02,010 --> 00:05:03,That's a gift, Sydney,

00:05:03,511 --> 00:05:05,and one you should never
give up on.

00:05:05,346 --> 00:05:07,I don't want to give up.

00:05:07,015 --> 00:05:10,What kind of example
would that set for Ollie?

00:05:10,018 --> 00:05:11,That's right, that's why
you're gonna keep trying,

00:05:11,811 --> 00:05:13,because I know you, Sydney.

00:05:13,938 --> 00:05:16,Whatever it is,
you'll see it.

00:05:16,524 --> 00:05:17,Thanks, Mom.

00:05:20,111 --> 00:05:22,[♪♪♪]

00:05:23,906 --> 00:05:26,[cars honking]

00:05:26,159 --> 00:05:28,Oh, come on.

00:05:28,369 --> 00:05:31,[cars honking]

00:05:32,999 --> 00:05:34,Really?

00:05:38,880 --> 00:05:40,[man on radio]
And it's slow going

00:05:40,006 --> 00:05:41,on the main roads out there
in Chicago,

00:05:41,883 --> 00:05:44,as the worst traffic
is at Carlaw and Fifth,

00:05:44,052...
