"The story so far..." " Give me the gauntlet!" " Not on your life!" "Snerk was looking for the gauntlet, and he had captured Sølve." "Snerk!" "Why is nothing happening?" "We've been waiting for ten years." "Everyone was waiting for me to make snow, but I couldn't." "So now I was exposed as a phoney." "Kevin, stop!" "I'll give you..." "I'll give you anything!" "He ran off." "He said we were stupid, and that we could manage by ourselves." " Did he trick us?" " He had snow." "He can't be king anymore." "We'll send out a "wanted" notice." " It wasn't me who took the baubles." " Now listen to me!" "Go to your room and stay there." "In addition I was grounded because Mom thought I was the bauble thief." "On top of all that, Eiril had got silver hair." " You mustn't tell anyone." " Ok." "I promise." "Did that have anything to do with Knight Valley?" "And worst of all, I had lost the gauntlet." "NRK SUPER presents" "A Christmas tale in 24 parts" "The Christmas King" "17th December" "(The alarm clock rings.)" "Rise and shine!" "Ada, Kathrine, come on now." "Come on, Kevin, I have to to the bathroom." "We're on track for the time being." "Mira, get out of bed." "Sara, now you must uncuff him." "He's got to go to school." "I have to go to the bathroom first." "(Quick-witted boy solves Christmas bauble mystery) 10,000 kr." "Why did you do it, Kevin?" "Now, we have to get going right away." "Can we hurry it up?" "What are you going to do?" " Wait until you finish school." "Are you going to wait here for me while I'm at school?" "We're alert." " Good day." " Hello." "I've been thinking." "You might need to call me, My Lord King already today." "Yes..." " Was it funny?" " Yes." "Okay, My Lord King." "Is it perhaps just as much fun to stand in the pillory?" " No." " No!" "My Lord King." " Can you do me a favour?" " Yes, we could do that." "Me?" "I always have to do..." "Can you go over on the other side and grab something for me?" " Yes..." " My Lord..." "Yes, my Lord King." "What should I bring back?" "I think your hair has something to do with the gauntlet." "How?" "I don't know." "But you must help me." " I've lost the gauntlet." " Really?" "Somewhere between my house and my cave." " You have your own cave?" " Yes." "I can draw a map for you." "I can't leave now." "That's truantcy." " You just say that you're sick." " I can't stand lying." "You say that you're sick and when you're not there, then you will be sick." "Greetings, dear friends." "What are you going around moping for?" " This is a happy day!" " What are you talking about?" "The King proved to be a fraudster." "We'll get neither Christmas or snow this year." "What was it I said when you made that snotty kid, king?" "What was it?" "." "You said he was a phony." "You said, "Hold on there." "How stupid are you really?"" ""Do you think this brat can make snow when I as sorcerer"," ""and the King's brother can not?"" " Did I really say that?" " Yes." "So eloquently." "Oh dear." "We mustn't forget that he had snow." "Certainly he had snow." "It was no wonder that we made him king." "How..." "It's snow." "Good morning, everyone." "Kevin, so nice to see you again." "Today, there's one week left before Christmas." "So now it's time for the calendar draw." ""Peder", is written on the tag." "Kevin, you create some amazing great things." "And then it's a bit of extra fun that Peder won the gift today." "Since he's the hero." " Eiril, can you take off your hat?" " No." " Why not?" " I'm sick." "I'm very sick." "Let's have a look at you you." "You don't look so good." "Would it be better for you to go home?" " Yes, maybe." " Okay, you do that." "You others can take out your Norwegian books." " Have you found the king's gauntlet?" " Have you found it?" "Can you tell us where it is?" "We have to give it to Sølve." " Hold on there." " Cut the nonsense, Snerk!" " What's happened?" " I know where the gauntlet is." "And I can make sure that this kingdom gets snow again." "We have to tell Sølve." "But... you must do something you should have done when I was little." "What do you mean?" "Must I spoon feed it to you?" " It's just asking me about it." " What is he trying to say?" "He wants us to make him..." "No, you know what!" " But what?" " It starts with "k"." "Cryptographer." "Cake baker." "Curved sabre." "Commander!" "Morild, you're so good at this stuff." " Consul." "Yes, consul." " King!" " Wait." " Yes, yes, yes." " King?" " No!" "Do you think we've gone completely mad?" "No, well..." "Look closely at this, then." "For it's the last snow you guys are ever going to see." " Wait!" "Wait." " Yes?" "Listen, Not." "Snerk has no royal claim." " He's never had a royal claim." " I know, Morild." "But if we want to have snow, then we have no choice." "He'll never tell us where the gauntlet is, before he becomes king." "(Quick-witted boy solves Christmas bauble mystery)" "Kevin is innocent." "I think Peder stole the Christmas baubles." " Peder, who is so well behaved?" " Yes." "We made a plan to take the Christmas baubles from the stupid knights to our house." "Here?" " Have the Christmas baubles been here?" " Yes." "Lamarr and I took the baubles from the knights." "But when we were to show you them, they were gone." " Have you met the knights?" " Yes." " Where?" " In the booth up at the ice rink." " Have you seen the knights, Kevin?" " Yes." "Yes I have." " Do you know them?" " No." "But they may have taken the baubles, as they seemed a little crazy." "Peder must have come in by the porch door." "For how could he have the Christmas baubles, if he didn't take them?" " But what about your mitten, Kevin?" " I have no idea." "It was surely Peder who took it as well." "Do you think so?" "Why do you think he did it?" "Peder picks on me." "He picks on me all the time." "He's done so for some years now." " Why didn't you say something?" " It seemed better not to." "Had I said something, everything would have just got worse." "And now we're going to celebrate Christmas there." "What does he do?" "He hits and pushes and bullies and kicks." "And then he takes things from me." "I don't think that Peder's a nice boy." "I believe in you, Kevin." "You shouldn't be ashamed of this." "What do we do about this?" " We must speak with Randi." " No." "No, not now." "We can't do it now." "We can't bring this up now." "Then we'll have no place to celebrate Christmas." "I think we'll just have to bite our lips, and then deal with this in January." "So I'm not grounded anymore?" "I'm sorry, Kevin, of course you're not grounded anymore." "I'm sorry." "I've just overreacted a bit, Kevin." "Yes, I've been fooled, me too." " It's okay." " My boy..." "Bye." "Ok, Mira." "Is it true that you met the knights up there?" " What should we do?" " I haven't got all day." "We haven't either." "It's the only option we have." "What do you say, Morild?" "Okay." " You can be our king." " Of course!" "It's the king's table!" "Don't step on the kings grapes!" "Get down off the table!" " Look at it." " It's newly polished." "Snerk... please." "It feels wonderful." " It feels so good." " It's not really suitable for you." "It's too big for your tiny head, King Snerk." " Did you find the gauntlet?" " No." " Were you up at the cave?" " I found no cave." "Come on, we need to check all the way." "I fell here." "And I ran down here." "So cool!" " How long have you had this place?" " I don't get it." "I put the gauntlet in my backpack right here." "We followed the way I went." "That must mean that the gauntlet is gone." "Kevin..." "That's where I think you come from." "There?" "Yes." "Come on." "It's so warm here." "There's a whole valley here, full of knights, even a king and a queen." "But she's not here, now." "This is where I think you and your mom come from." "Ante, are you asleep?" "Ante!" "Get up." " I thought we were going to change over." " Yes, we are changing over." "And now it's your turn." " My turn to..." "It's your turn to keep watch." "If the kid comes back, we'll catch him." "Can't someone else catch him?" "He's wanted." "If King Snerk heard you now, we'd never get servants." "Stay alert!" " King Snerk" " Are you wanted?" "How can Snerk have become king?" "The stupid knights must have found the gauntlet and given it to Snerk." "How do I now give the gauntlet to King Sølve?" "King Sølve?" "Mom?" " Have we always lived here?" " Yes, you've always lived here." " But what about you?" " I lived in the city before." "When I had you, I thought it was better to live here." " Why are you sitting with your hat on inside?" " I think it's a bit cold here." "What about Dad, then?" "Eiril, I've told you I don't know who your father is." " Are you sure?" " Yes." "Subtitles by Squashy Hat (2015)"
