"The story so far..." "This room kept me awake all night." "Everyone in Knight Valley expected me to create snow on the 16th December." "That's why King Kevin was elected king." "Just let it come down day after day after day." "But I couldn't." "I was going to be revealed as a liar," "And then I couldn't celebrate Christmas with my family in Knight Valley." "But it's not so easy to find something that's so small and black." "Black?" "I thought it was shiny." "I met King Sølve out in the forest, and then I realized... that the gauntlet I'd found in the cave, it was the magic one." "The gauntlet that Peder now had." "It was the gauntlet that could make snow." "The magic gauntlet was the solution to all my problems." "I had to get it, but how would I do that?" "NRK SUPER presents" "A Christmas tale in 24 parts" "The Christmas King" "8th December" "Kathrine, Ada, Sara, come on now!" "In about ten minutes there shouldn't be anything left in the house except bed mites." "Kevin is out of the house already." "I wish you'd follow his example." "(The phone rings.) I'll take it!" "Hello, you're talking to Princess Mira." "Mom, telephone for you." "Hello, it's Sara." "You're kidding." "In the hotel?" "I'll be there in five minutes." " Yahoo!" " What's happening?" "Some Christmas ornaments have been stolen at the hotel." " Why is that so good?" " Now there's finally a mystery." " What about breakfast?" " I don't have time." "Can I come with you?" "Get your socks on, then we'll investigate on the way to the nursery." "Eiril, look." "Terrific." "Don't think you can decorate the gingerbread house, and then everything's okay again." "I'm sorry." "The night watchman said the baubles were here last night, but when I came to work this morning, they were gone." "Night watchman..." "Baubles here last night..." "But today..." " Morges." " Morges, yes." "They were gone, taken." "Stealing Christmas ornaments!" " So did he see anything suspicious?" " He?" "The night watchman." "Or something out of the ordinary." "He didn't say much to me." "Hey." "I don't feel well." "I have a stomach ache." "I think it's the water in the well there." "Or you're a little hungry." "I'm so hungry now." " Food." " And that was probably the password." "Go ahead." "There's surely a man sitting inside who hands out food if can you give the password." "And we know it." "I'm so hungry." "There's nothing there." "Hello?" "I'm so hungry." " No." "Nothing there." " Now I've got it." "If you say it with a very light woman's voice..." "Yes, that's not so dumb." "I..." "I'm so hungry." "Hello!" "I'm hungry." "I'm so hungry." "Shh." "I'll take the food." "I'm stuck." "I think he's got hold of me inside." "It wasn't like that lady did." " You klutz." " Now I'm stuck too." "You jerk!" " I knew it." "It wasn't a dream." " Can't you help us out?" "We're stuck." " Then one of you must marry me." " What!" "I put many mattresses on top of each other." "Underneath them all, was a pea." "When I woke up, I had terrible backache." "So I'm a princess." "It's like I said." "These guys aren't right in the head." " Yes." "That's fine, beautiful princess." " I choose..." " You, because you're the nicest looking." " No." "I don't want to get married." "All right, princess." "Like that." " Wait!" "Where are you going?" " That's not my problem." "Help me a little." " We'll have to build it again." " But the competition is tomorrow." "Come here." "I can get you a new one, if you give me the gauntlet." "How are you going to do that?" "The competition is tomorrow." "I have my contacts." "Kevin, what is it that's so important about the gauntlet?" "Now we'll do the draw for the advent calendar." ""Eiril", is written on the tag." " Wasn't it your gift, Peder?" " Yes." "You have such cool stuff." "Thank you." "Then continue to finish decorating your wonderful gingerbread houses." "I won't be your friend any more." "Here, you can have this back." "All you are doing, is just cheating." "Listen." "We two can't get married." "Why not?" "Princesses can't simply get married because someone looks nice." "You marry because you feel that it's true love." "What does true love mean?" "When you feel that you're made for each other." "You know it inside here." "That is true love." "Then I know who to ask." "Good bye!" " Bye." "Three floors, at least three towers, furniture in the castle, chocolate men," "Jellymen everywhere, lights in the house... a swimming pool." " Can't we drop that?" " You said you could fix everything." "Isn't it enough now?" "Three floors, spiral staircase, at least three towers..." "Okay." "But if it's not the coolest Castle in the world, you can forget about the gauntlet." "Deal." "It's possible that I'm stupid, but I don't understand..." "What did you call this cake?" " A gingerbread house." "Gingerbread house." "It's a house made of gingerbread." "About so big, so high, three floors, looks like a castle, and on top should be icing sugar and candy." "But how will it hang together?" "You paste it with icing." " Icing?" "What's icing?" " It's melted sugar that hardens." " Melted sugar..." " That hardens." "There we have a problem." "We've used up all the sugar in the candy shoe." "Couldn't we use for example..." "Could we use... er... resin?" "Could we use resin instead?" " What's that?" "Isn't Your Majesty acquainted with resin?" "Resin is sticky and makes things hang together." "There's plenty of it in all the trees of the forest." "It's fine with me." " When does it need to be completed by?" " I need it tomorrow morning." "Tomorrow morning!" "That was good." "In the morning?" "Of course." "Tomorrow morning." "Yes." "The mission will be completed with the utmost discretion, Your Highness." "Will you marry me?" " Why not?" " I'm doing drumming and choir." "Mom says I'm not allowed to do any more." " But you're a real prince." " I don't think so." "But are you coming to the gingerbread house competition tomorrow?" "No, I don't want to." " He said no." " Did you quarrel the other day?" " Maybe a little." " Don't be sad." "Just don't rush him, he'll say yes eventually." " This cake house..." " What are you doing here?" "What's so important about it?" " It's none of your business." " Is it a secret?" "It's not good for a king to have too many secrets." "Sometimes it can be good to have someone to share them with." "With a... with a friend." "No thanks." "Not interested." "We already have a secret together." "Have we?" "You use the secret passage a lot and are often out in the forest." " I am king and go where I want." " So the good king is not so nice?" "You obviously have many things to deal with during the day." "Goodbye, Your Majesty." "Dad, is it okay to lie if it's to help someone?" "Well, it depends." "One has to distinguish between black and white lies." "Meaning?" "Black lies, you lie to be mean." "That's wrong." "White lies, are when you lie to be kind." "Is it possible to lie in order to be kind?" "You say to Mira that she's a princess, it's not true." " But it's ok." " So can I lie to help someone?" "Yes, if it's to make someone happy, you're allowed to bend the rules sometimes." "What are you doing?" "Attempting to solve the mystery of the Christmas baubles." "Today, several more were reported." "Here, we have the store." "And then we have the hotel." "These are the places where the thieves have been." "I'm trying to find a pattern." "This looks like a circle." "Yes..." "Probably the thief has a base around here somewhere." "Yes." " You know what?" " No." "What?" "The only thing I want for Christmas, is to manage to solve this mystery." "What do you want, Kevin?" " Snow." "Snow, yes." "Lots of snow." "Subtitles by Squashy Hat (2015)"
