"The story so far..." "I was arrested by my own mother." "We come with wonderful news." "Peder had found the Christmas baubles in the ice rink booth and given me the blame." "And Mom didn't believe me." "I was the Christmas bauble thief." "I haven't had anything to do with the Christmas baubles." "She wouldn't let me out of the car before I had admitted... that it was me who had stolen the baubles." "But it wasn't true." "So I was trapped in the car, with the gauntlet, but without the possibility to meet Sølve as agreed." "Today was the big snow day, and everyone in Knight Valley expected me to make snow." "How would I get there and find Sølve, so he could make snow?" "NRK SUPER presents" "A Christmas tale in 24 parts" "The Christmas King" "Snow day" "Can we go to the toboggan run on the other side of the castle?" "There's a great toboggan run." "That's where your father and I used to ski when we were little." " Can't we have snowball fights?" " Who do you think will win?" "It'll be us." "Put on your hats now." "I wouldn't want you to catch colds the first time you're out in the snow." "The key..." "(The alarm sounds.)" " Mira..." " I think it's a little unfair Mom." "I don't think Kevin has stolen the Christmas baubles." "Sølve?" "Sølve?" "Sølve?" "Where's the snow?" "Yes..." "It'll probably happen some time soon now." "Shouldn't he be here, by now?" "Sølve?" " There he is!" " Hello!" "Let it snow!" "Please, work for once." "Let it snow!" "Will it snow soon?" "Sølve!" "Here." "I'll take that." "All right." "Now you just give me the gauntlet, and then we'll forget everything." "And then you can go home." "That's a good idea." " Where's Sølve?" " Give me the gauntlet." " You've captured him." " Of course I've got him." "I'm an evil sorcerer." "That's what evil sorcerers do." "Give me the gauntlet." "Do you want them to know that you've lied to them?" "For the last time!" "Give me the gauntlet!" "Not on your life!" "No!" "Let me go!" "Ratboy, come here!" "You little mosquito!" "Kevin, stop!" "I'll tell you something!" "I'll give you..." "I'll give you anything." "Ratboy!" "Where are you?" "The gauntlet is mine!" "Do you hear that?" "Why is nothing happening?" "We've been waiting for ten years." " Quiet now." " Can't he do anything?" "Kevin?" "Kevin?" "Your Royal Highness, the people are waiting, so we must..." "Look, his crown!" " Very strange." " That's odd." "Snerk?" " He ran off." " Who?" "Ratboy." "He ran off." "He ran off, and I asked where he was going." "And then he said: "I can't be bothered to be in this valley any more."" "He said we were stupid, and that we could manage by ourselves." "I said, "No, don't run off." And then he disappeared into the secret tunnel." " But isn't he going to make snow?" " Won't he make snow?" "Has he tricked us?" " I'm afraid so." " No!" "Dad, Kevin hasn't deceived us." "Something else must have happened." " He's probably tricked us Skare." " Yes." " He had snow." " Yes, he had snow." "Yes, he had snow, Fnugg." "But this is something we adults have to talk about." " Has he tricked us?" " Yes." " He can't be king anymore." " No." "He can't." "We'll send out a "wanted" notice." "This he shall not escape with impunity." "It's so cold!" "I'm freezing to death, Ante." "We're going to have to find that cave now." "Look!" " Look there." "That's the boy." " How does that help us?" "If we follow his tracks..." "He's surely coming from the cave." "A very good idea, Ante." "We'll follow his tracks." "You are grounded." " I didn't take the baubles." " Did you skip school today?" " There was a reason for it." " Now listen to me!" "Take off your coat and go to your room!" " Where are you going?" " Nowhere." "It's nice and warm." "Absolutely lovely." "We found the way, Ante." "Fantastic!" "Fresh air also." " Hello, Snerk." " Hello, Snerk." " Where have you been?" " Where have we been?" "Now?" " Now, yes." " We have been..." "In the secret world." " The secret world?" " No." "No?" "Secret world?" "I've heard about it." "How do I get there?" "We do not know if there's a secret world." "Let's say that there had been a secret world, and we told you the way to it." "What do we get out of it?" "Let's say you take me there." "Then I can be king, and then I could use a few knights who were kicked out of Knight school." "We were there." "Can we be the knights?" " Yes, you can." " Can we have our own room at the castle?" "Will we have servants?" " How long is this cave here?" " It's a little bit farther." "I think that it's rather pleasant in here." "That's it." "I'm not going any further than this here." " How big is this world?" " It's quite small." " Slightly smaller than ours, I think." " We don't know, exactly." "Not knowing, is just what you're an expert on." "So is he the boy who's taken the gauntlet?" "Yes." "And you'll show me where he lives." " We don't know where he lives." " I won't go further than this." "He's right." "It's dangerous out there." "It's best to stay here." "There are little princesses here that are as sneaky as snakes." "There must at least be more of us." "And we must be armed to the teeth." " What's that?" " It's an iron horse." "There are wheels on them too." "And once we saw an iron bird in the sky." "We're going back." "Line up." "Can you keep watch here?" " Yes." "If the little, false king, comes across with the gauntlet, you capture him and the gauntlet." "When I get hold of the gauntlet, they'll have to make me king and then I can rule over Knight Valley and everywhere." " Was it good?" "My plan?" " Very good." "And so evil!" "Being an evil sorcerer is much harder than people think." "One must constantly evolve." " It was good just now." " Yeah, whatever!" "Keep guard here." "As long as little King stupid kid doesn't slip past, no one can spoil my plan." "No one!" "What's happened to her hair?" " Mira, you mustn't tell anyone." " Why not?" " Because it's a secret." " Why?" "Promise not to tell anyone." "Ok." " Okay, I promise." " Good." "Subtitles by Squashy Hat (2015)"
