"The story so far..." "I was accused of being the bauble thief." "But then I got unexpected help from Mira." "Kevin is innocent." "I think Peder stole the Christmas baubles." "Peder is so well behaved." "Peder picks on me." "He's done so for some years now." " We must speak with Randi." " No." "In two days we're going to move in with Randi and Peder, due to mould in the house." "We'll just have to bite our lips, and then deal with this in January." "In the worst case, we'd have to celebrate Christmas there and not in Knight Valley, as I had planned." "I first had to find the gauntlet, that I had managed to lose." "Eiril helped me look for it, and then she learned about my cave." "And most important of all, Knight Valley, the place I thought she and her mother came from." " If King Snerk heard you now..." " King Snerk?" "We discovered that the stupid knights guarded the entrance, and that Snerk had become king." "The knights must have found the gauntlet and given it to him." " Have we always lived here?" " Yes, you've always lived here." "But what about you?" "What about Dad, then?" "NRK SUPER presents" "A Christmas tale in 24 parts" "The Christmas King" "18th December" "I'll make a good meal for you today." "Anything you like." " Do you have any wild boar on the sly?" " Hello!" "Look here." " "Christmas is canceled." He's canceled Christmas." " They're all over the place." ""Whoever says the word "Christmas", or decorates for Christmas, and give gifts, will be arrested."" "Is he allowed to decide that?" "Can he do that?" " Morild, what are you going to do?" " Go away!" "I only told you that my wagon needed a new wheel." "(hjul = wheel, sounds like Jul = Christmas)" " There you go again." " I didn't mean the holiday." "A rule is a rule." "The holiday season they go around whining about, is canceled." "Please!" "Don't arrest me!" "I have four kids." "And soon it's Christmas." "That was the third time, eh?" "That will be three days on bread and water." "Take him away." "What is this?" "What does it look like?" "A piece of paper with some letters on it." "What kind of King are you?" "What kind of knight are you, that doesn't respect the King?" "The reason why we respect you, is that you say that you know where the gauntlet is." "Annoying, isn't it?" "How would you feel if you didn't know who your mother was?" "I think your mother is a queen." "And I think you're a princess." " Cut it out." "Today we have an extra outdoor lesson." "Because Randi Krohn has a cultural discovery to show us." "You remember the story all about Silverwood and the silver glimmer?" "No one has seen it in over a decade." "But now at last we've been seeing the silver glimmer again." "Therefore, it is particularly exciting that Randi Krohn has found a trace... of the people who, according to legend lived in the woods many years ago." "Be careful." "This is an electric fence." "So it seems neither of us got it." "Randi must have found it where I lost it." "But it's perhaps better that she has it rather than that Snerk has it." "I wonder..." "I found a newspaper clipping about Mom." "There was a picture of her, and it stated that she was found in the woods." "She is the queen." "You have to believe in me." "I don't know if I want to know more." "Who my mother is, or whether I'm a princess or not." "Aren't you curious at all?" "What if she's evil?" "What if she stole the gauntlet at that time?" "Mom is out and cutting Christmas trees now." "She'll probably be gone a few hours." "Perfect." "We'll go there now." "I'll pack later." "Come on!" "Princess!" "Hi, Lamarr!" "Eiril is a real princess." "And there is a cave in the woods that leads to a Knight Valley." "I lay under the bed and heard it." "Now, dear brother, good to be home again?" "What is this, Snerk?" "Some crumbs from the king's table." "You're welcome." " Are you going around and playing king?" " Playing?" "No." "I am King." "See the crown on my head." " Have they made you king?" " Yes, finally it's my turn." "How?" "Why?" "They realized that I was the only one who could make sn..." " Do you have..." " The gauntlet?" "Yes, I have it." "Bon appétit." " What are you doing?" " You were right." "It's something I've overlooked." "This here may not be the entire attic." " Why not?" " Because the house is larger than the attic." "Help me a little." "Get a knitting needle or somethingt, so I can pick the lock." " Like this?" " Perfect." "See here." "It's the castle." "Where I've been." "And inside where there's a square." "Here you have the castle, and here it's always full of people." "And there, that's King Sølve." "He's got to be your father." "He has hair like you." "And your mother... is the Queen." "Why hasn't she told anyone?" "It's totally weird." "I know it's strange, but it's actually true." "You're a princess, Eiril." "I don't want to be a princess." "Snerk is not good." "He's evil." "He says he knows where the gauntlet is." "So why doesn't he bring it?" "I've sent out knights to find Kevin, but I'd rather have them go after Snerk." "Where is Sølve?" "Hey..." "let's gather the knights and topple Snerk." "Let's follow our hearts." "He's going to destroy our family." "Have you seen Fnugg?" "When I see how unhappy he is, how much he had looked forward to snow and Christmas," "I'm not in any doubt about what the right thing is to do." "I should at least keep track of what Snerk is doing." " There." "You can put it in here." " Can we make more cakes?" "No, this will have to do." "I just can't bake any more." " You're wrecking it!" " Sorry... sorry." "What's your problem?" "Now I don't know where we were." "You were there!" " I wasn't there!" " You were there." "Now, shut up for a second!" "Otherwise I'll have to pack up the whole game." "Hello." "I brought a little more work for you." "It's cozy in here, then." "Doing some baking?" "It smells good." "Are they good?" "Have you tasted them?" "They look delicious." "No..." "Are you thinking of giving me some now?" "It wasn't intended that way." "Thank you." "They'll be delicious." "Very strange atmosphere here, isn't it?" "What is it?" "Aren't you looking forward to Christmas?" "I bought presents for each of you." "There are quite a few presents." "So everyone should probably buy one for Peder?" "I dread Christmas." "Christmas is crap!" "What..." "I know about your dress, Mom." "Huh?" "Tell me who you are." " It's best that you don't know." " Say it!" "I want to hear you say it." "Sit down a moment, Eiril." "You and I, Eiril, we really come from somewhere else." "I'm a queen." "I'm not called Siri." "My name is Iris." "I was married to King Sølve." "He had a gauntlet that he ruled the seasons with." "One morning ten years ago, right before Christmas, we woke up to something strange." "All the snow in Knight Valley had melted, and the gauntlet was gone." "Everyone went out to look, some at the castle, and some in the forest." "It was Snerk, the king's brother, who had taken it." "No!" "I stumbled into a hidden tunnel." "It was as if the mountain would help me." "I lost the gauntlet in the dark." "And I couldn't find it again." "I think I was very confused, because when I finally got out into daylight, all the snow had returned." "But I didn't know where I was." "I searched all day and all night for the way home." "In the end I was so exhausted that I gave up." "I just wanted to sleep." "Then they found me, though." "I said I couldn't remember anything." "And so I sold the finest I had:" "Some rubies that I had been given by King Sølve as a wedding present." "I bought the house that was closest to the woods." "I didn't know I was pregnant when I came to Silverwood." "Then I thought that I might be able to find my way back again." "I thought that if I painted, then I'd be able to see for myself, how it was where I came out of the cave." "So I looked in the woods every day, and I dreamed of going back again to the world where you and I belong," "in Knight Valley." "I'm sorry, Eiril." "Can you forgive me?" "I think so much of Sølve." "He didn't know I was pregnant." "He doesn't know you exist." "The fine girl he has..." "Subtitles by Squashy Hat (2015)"
