"The story so far..." "All the mess in Knight Valley was my fault." "But perhaps Eiril could help me to make amends?" " Where are you going?" " To play in the woods." "Although I was "wanted", I took Eiril with me into Knight valley." "I wanted to show her to Morild." "I want you to meet Princess Eiril, King Sølve's daughter." " Kevin, Run!" " Put him in the stocks." "On the way back I discovered Mira and Lamarr in Knight Valley." "Promise you won't tell anyone about this?" "Our secret." "Get back to that dirty little house of yours, before I do something stupid here." " I resign." " No, you're fired!" "But it was just what Randi did next." "She did something really stupid." "She threw us out of the house." "NRK SUPER presents" "A Christmas tale in 24 parts" "The Christmas King" "20th December" "Rise and shine, folks." " We can't live like this." " You'll get a better bed soon." " Now we'll get a fire going here." " Nobody celebrates Christmas in a garage." "Can you turn off the lights?" "In the old days people lived very cramped like this." "We have to stick together, and see the positive side." "It's small, but it'll be easier to decorate for Christmas." "Good morning!" "No one tells anyone about this, okay?" "Merry Christmas." "Ho, ho, ho!" "Merry Christmas." "Ho, ho, ho!" " Kevin?" " What?" "I'm sorry." " I'm trying to apologize." " My father has lost his job." "We were kicked out of our house, and we live in a garage because of you." "And you think everything will be all right if you say I'm sorry?" "You can have my finest toy." "It's worth 4000 kr!" "She had the same kind of hair as Sølve." "Sølve hasn't any children." "If he had, we'd have known it." "I know." "Had you seen what I saw, you'd have something to ponder on." "Have many ended up in prison for having said "Christmas"?" " Christmas!" " No, don't." "We will have Christmas!" "It'll just get worse for you screaming like that." "It can't get any worse than it is." "There are three different dances:" "waltz and tango and..." " Hello!" " Hello." " Where have you been?" " We've been to have a bite to eat." "Yes, have you?" "How nice." "Fools!" "I asked you to guard the entrance." "What are you doing?" "Don't explain!" " The little rat has been here." " Oh no!" "The little fart is making plans and we need to get ahead of him." "You stay here, and if you let so much as a fart through," "I'll turn you into..." " Carrots." " No, please!" "We'll stay here and keep watch." " Where are you going, My Lord King Snerk?" " To find the gauntlet!" " The gauntlet, you know." " Yes, it's a good idea." "Put out your arms, and then hold it firmly." " Eiril wasn't at school today." " Never mind." " Can we go soon?" " You coming, Kevin?" " Can't we cut down a Christmas tree?" " That's a great idea." "But we can't cut any trees near here." "Yes, Eiril's mother has a small piece of woodland." " Is it pick your own Christmas tree there?" " Yeah." "Yes, let's go." " Maybe we should do it?" " Yeah." "Come on." " Hello." " Hi!" "Can we cut a Christmas tree in your woods?" "Yes, of course." "It would be the finishing touch to the Christmas atmosphere." "Is Eiril home?" " How much do you want for it?" " No, I won't take anything." " That's generous of you." " It can be a Christmas gift from us." "Thank you very much." "You can go and find the Christmas tree, while I'm here with Eiril." " Can I come in too?" " You have to help Dad." " Please!" " Dad needs you to help him." "There's an axe over there if you want to borrow it." " Where's Eiril?" " She's upstairs asleep." "She's been sick." "Sit down, there." "Now I think you should tell me what it is you're doing." "Hasn't Eiril told you anything?" "She told me that she's been in Knight valley with you." "Maybe she doesn't want you to know?" "No matter what happens, I'm never going to leave Eiril." "I've kind of been King there." "You've been King in Knight Valley?" "Yes, but in a cheating way." "I said I could make snow, and so I was made Christmas King, or King Kevin." "Shall we try a little of this years batch?" "Is there something you like?" " Marble cake." "Fantastic." " It's good, that." "Hey, have you heard talk of a tunnel leading to a valley where it's Summer?" "What do you mean?" "Lamarr says he went together with Mira through a tunnel." " Have you heard of something like that?" " No." "It was in the woods, he said." "Probably just something he imagined." "Let's see..." "Then we come to two pair." "You didn't get the bonus." " I didn't get the bonus?" "No." "You're talking of the cave?" "I have been there many times." " There's no tunnel there." " Yes." "It opened suddenly." " It happened when I found the gauntlet." " Gauntlet?" "But..." " What about Sølve, then?" " I don't know." "I was going to give him the gauntlet, but he didn't come." "And then Snerk came." "And now..." "And now Snerk is King." " Is Snerk King in Knight Valley?" "Yes." "He must have planned it all along." "Everything is my fault." "No, Kevin." "But..." "Now you know much more about Knight Valley than what I do." "You must help me clean this up." "Do you want to?" "Yes." "Hey..." "Do you see one you like, Mira?" "This one." "That looks perfect." "We'll take it." "Move over a little." "Watch out for the axe." "Help!" "Wait." "Someone shouted "help"." "No." "I don't hear nothing." "Help!" " Help!" " Now I heard it too." " I'm stuck." " Come on." "We have to run." "Are you stuck?" "I'll help you up." "Come on." "Do you want to freeze to death down there?" "Come on, take my hand." "Can you walk?" "There's a farm up here." "Then you can get yourself some dry clothes." "And maybe a shower, too." "I'm called Anton Gran, and this is Mira." "What's your name?" " King Snerk." " Tom Snerk?" "That's a strange name." "Have you been to a carnival?" "We've taken a trip out in the woods today, and cut our own Christmas tree." "Have you got a Christmas tree?" " We have to get the gauntlet." " It's guarded." "Locked up at the shopping center." "If we have the gauntlet, can Eiril use it." "No." "Why haven't you asked me?" "You don't know if I want to." "And I don't." "This gauntlet works only on the Royal family." "And you're heir to the throne." " I won't." " It's your duty!" " What is it?" " Snerk!" "Eiril, you stay here." "Hey there." "We found this frozen guy out in the woods." "Hey, hey, hey!" "No!" "stop it!" "Careful!" "No!" "What the heck was that?" "Probably someone who forgot to pay for their Christmas tree." " She didn't look too happy." " Has he stolen a Christmas tree?" "Are you sure we shouldn't have paid for this?" "Snerk!" "Mira, can you run ahead?" "Dad must have a boy chat with Kevin." " What's a boy chat?" " Run ahead, and we'll catch you up." "I'm very sorry that I haven't been there for you." "You came and told me how it was with Peder, but I didn't listen to you." "I didn't do anything about it." "I'm sorry for that." "I thought that things would work out by themselves, but they don't." " You've been straightforward." " I don't know, me." "Now I've been honest with you, so now you should be honest with me, and tell me what you're doing presently." "I promise not to get angry or panic." "You must tell me." " I have a secret." " Yes, well..." "Unfortunately, I can't tell you yet, but I have to help someone, and it's very important." "Does it have anything to do with Eiril?" "Can you tell me when you're ready?" " Yes." " Ok." "That's fine." "The whole rest of your life, you should know that regardless of what might happen, you can come to me and tell me about it." "Whatever it may be, I'll be there for you." "And wherever we happen to live." " Hello, Mira." " Hi." " Where are the others?" " Coming soon." "Hey, Mira... have you and Lamarr been alone in the woods?" "Yes." "So what?" "No, I was just wondering." "What are you making?" "I making a castle that was in the woods." "But it was Summer there." " Need some help?" " Yes." "Eiril?" "Hey, can I come in?" "Sweetheart, can't you let me in?" "I don't want to be a princess, Mom." " Hey!" " Yes, yes, yes." " Lord King Snerk, what happened?" " I know where Kevin's hiding the gauntlet." " With the Queen!" " She's alive?" "On the other side." "We have to gather an army of knights for a secret mission." "And then... the gauntlet will be mine." "Subtitles by Squashy Hat (2015)"
