THE CHRISTMAS ACADEMY

So...

There it is.

Found you, old friend.

Chateau-Santa-Claus-du-Pape
1897.

The last bottle.

What is this?

No... Oh, no!

What do you think is up?
- I don't know.

Maybe the Christmas break
is extended until Easter.

I can feel it.
Vacation, here we come!

There he is.

I've been your headmaster
for many years.

Christmas, or the festive season,
has always been my focus. Always.

But... dear friends.

I've come to the conclusion
that this has been a mistake.

Christmas is not worth celebrating.
It is a dark and terrible time.

So, as the leader of the academy,
I have signed this decree.

December, the 12th month of the
year, shall be like any other month.

Starting from today, Santa
Claus hats are prohibited.

Use will be punished with a
fine or mitigated imprisonment.

You can't do this!
- Silence! Yes, I can.

Christmas is cancelled!
- That can't be true.

Excuse me! Does this apply to Norway?
- Yes. You're all fired.

This is absurd.
- Fired? He can't just...

Silence. You heard the
headmaster. Silence!

Safe travels.

ALL I WANT FOR CHRISTMAS:
THE MAGIC TIME MACHINE

How can the headmaster
cancel Christmas?

I'm as shocked as
you are, Lucia.

But the headmaster
decides on these matters.

Christmas can't be cancelled just
because he gets a stupid idea.

Don't think about it. Let
the adults handle this.

I can't just forget it.
It's my future, too.

You worry too much, darling.

You think you're a big girl
now, but you're still a child.

I'm not a small child anymore.
My opinion counts, too.

No more talking. Get dressed.
We'll fly in a minute.

I'm feeling a bit
under the weather.

A little kiss?
- Yes.

Did you notice anything else?

His blood pressure is too
high and his eyes are dead.

Let me have a look.

This is bad. Please hand
me the memory boards.

Thank you.

Headmaster.

Tell me what you see here.

No reaction.

Now, look at this. Such
a lively little creature.

No reaction here either. Let's
try this one. Yummy, huh?

Ugh. Ugh!

Interesting. I think we're
on to something here.

Bleurgh!

Come in. Did you find anything?

I've searched the entire school.

But I found this
one in the cellar.

No, no, no! Away with it!

For God's sake, remove it!
- Remove it.

Why can't it just be January?

Wait.

Hi, Lucia.
- Hi.

So... How's it hanging?
- How's it hanging with you?

Hi, Valdemar.
- Hi.

So...

Shouldn't you go inside now?
- Yes. Bye.

Remember to take off
your hat. It's the law.

Calm down, I'm taking it off.
- You'll get a fine.

She's so tiring.

Hello, good people! From elves to
Christmas girls and Santa Clauses!

Circus is in town, but only
for tonight. Circus Möbius!

Mystery, magic and fun! And last
but not least: time travels!

Are you visiting
Circus Möbius tonight?

Come and get an experience
for life, for all eternity!

Circus Möbius!

Ho ho ho

Brilliant. Everyone!

Ho ho ho - Yes! Again.

Ho ho ho

Ho, ho, ho! An announcement
from The Council of Elders.

The crisis meeting concerning the
cancelling of Christmas starts now.

The meeting is only
for adults. Ho, ho, ho.

As you heard, I have a meeting
now, so you can go play.

Yes!

Won't you join us in the yard?

No. We must find
out what's going on.

How?

You'll see. Come.

We're facing an extremely
serious phenomenon.

The headmaster suffers from
a traumaticum obstructicum -

- which has been so repressed that
it's blocking out everything else.

Excuse me... I don't
understand a word of this.

The headmaster can't relate
to reality. He's miserable.

But why is he so sad?

There must be something
terrible in his past.

Something so bad that it's
all he can think about.

Whatever happened has made him
fear Christmas and even cancel it.

Fear Christmas?

Can't you just cure him? Give
him some pills or maybe a teddy?

Only when we know what happened.

The only thing we
know... please turn it...

is that the memory is
triggered by rice pudding.

And we believe that this old Santa
Claus hat is relevant to the case.

But we have no clue
how it fits in.

Of course, we'll do
everything to solve this.

But the cure has to come
from within himself somehow.

Can't we deliver
presents anyway?

No! According to the academy's
statutes of 1521 article 11 -

- the headmaster's
decisions stand.

And he can't be dismissed as we
can only get a new headmaster -

- when the current headmaster
has signed his resignation.

The headmaster's condition
unfortunately prevents this.

What are we to do?
- We are trying to find out.

We must hope for the
headmaster's recovery.

Come. Let's find Litteramus.

I'm afraid we can't
change the past.

He's in here. Hello, Litteramus.
- We've been looking for you.

Why weren't you at the meeting?
- Hi, Lucia and Valdemar.

Speak to The Council of Elders.
The headmaster's new law must go.

The law is the law. Only the
headmaster can change it.

The doctors' say that his
illness is caused by his past.

It is somehow connected to this.
- What is this?

Why, it's one of the
old Santa Claus hats.

And it's woven
with Lappish wool -

- and dyed with...
Is it cherry juice?

What is the connection
to the headmaster?

As far as I remember, he
stopped as the Santa Claus...

of Denmark in 1897.

The headmaster was Santa Claus?
- Yes, when he was young.

Is that him on the painting?
- Yes, that's him.

Maybe he experienced something
bad when he was Santa Claus.

Look in the Christmas annals.
- Where are they?

It's the big book on my table.
- I'll fetch it.

This is terrible. Without
Christmas, there are no gifts.

And without gifts, nobody
will believe in us.

Then we can close the academy.
- Here it is.

84... 94...

24th of December, 1896:

"Nothing worth noting. Santa
Claus was back at 03.33 a.m."

"All presents
delivered. Clear skies."

"1897: Beautiful evening,
minus three degrees Celsius."

Wait a minute. The headmaster
didn't sign it. There's a note.

"The Santa Claus from Denmark signs
tomorrow because of stomach trouble."

"Went straight to bed." And it says
he was back already at 10.19 p.m.

You can't deliver all
those presents so fast.

Perhaps the answer
is hidden there.

He didn't deliver the presents that
night. Something serious happened.

We must tell the council.
- Adults don't listen to children.

It's up to us to fix this.

Hi.

Are you having a good time?
- Yes.

How are you, Valdemar?
- I'm fine.

What do you want?
- I want to ask you a small favour.

A small favour?

Yes, it's because... Do
you remember Balthasar?

One of the three kings.
- No.

You know, the one from the Orient.
- What about him?

We have to go visit
the headmaster.

Is his condition worse now?
- No, he's fit as a fiddle.

Was that it?
- Yes, or no...

I wanted to ask you to look after
Elias, Balthasar's little sweet son.

Elias!
- Yes.

You're not serious. He's so annoying.
- Lucia, do you mind!

You're a big girl now.
You can do your share.

This morning you said I was
a child. Now, I'm a big girl.

Make up your mind. What am I?
- Come and say hi to them.

See? Adults don't
listen to children.

Come on.

Oh, yes. A good idea.

Lucia! Oh, my God,
you're so big now!

Who's this? Is it your boyfriend?
- Not at all.

No, no, of course
it isn't. Of course.

Lucia would love to look after Elias.
- Of course.

We're so happy to hear
this. Right, Elias?

Elias?
- Elias?

"Do you also combat
thin hair and beard?

Get thick Santa Claus hair and a
long beard in less than eight weeks."

Is this yours?
- I haven't seen it before.

It's yours.
- Elias, you busybody.

Say hi to Lucia.
- No. Don't tell me what to do.

What?

I'm so sorry. Elias
likes to be in charge.

I've got a splendid idea. How
about going to the circus?

All three of you.
- I love the circus!

It's a very good idea. Right, Lucia?
- Yes.

Fantastic. Marvellous.

Let me see. This
should be enough money.

Thank you.
- We have to get going now.

Enjoy yourselves.

Elias? You must comply
with what Lucia says. Okay?

What did the headmaster
experience Christmas Eve, 1897?

It must've been bad.
- What are you talking about?

The headmaster.
- He's gone nuts, right?

He experienced something
bad many years ago.

That's why he doesn't
like Christmas anymore.

How long have you two been dating?
- We're not dating.

If you keep quiet until we reach
the circus, you'll get a soda pop.

I'll get soda pop and popcorn.

A red soda pop, please.

Three tickets.

Enjoy the show.
- Thanks.

Thanks.

What's up, you little turd?
- No, you are a little turd.

Ladies and gentlemen! First,
it is my great honour -

- to present the fantastic
knife thrower Ludmilla Dracul!

Honoured guests.
Before I begin, -

- I need a brave volunteer
from the audience.

Me! Pick me!

There's a lively, young man!
- Elias, no.

If you move... I can't
make any guarantees.

A miss!

Give him a big applause!

What are you thinking? I promised
your dad to look after you.

Nothing happened.

Welcome. Do you have a tiny memory
from when you were a toddler?

No.
- I'm about to change that.

Sit down.

Now we'll hypnotize you and
take a journey into the mind.

We will travel in time.

Listen to my voice.

Only my voice.

Yes. We will travel
back in your life.

Back to the time when
you were two years old.

Knud, when I snap my fingers, -

- you'll open your eyes and
you're a tiny little toddler.

Three, two, one.

Open your eyes.

It's my birthday!
- Your birthday? Today?

Today it's Knud's birthday
hooray hooray hooray

How old are you, Knud?
- I'm two years.

Knud... Listen to my voice.

Only my voice.

There you go.

When I snap my fingers,
you're back in present time.

But you'll still be able to remember
all these precious memories.

Three, two, one.

Welcome back, Knud.

Knud, do you remember
anything from your childhood?

Yes. I actually remember my
birthday when I turned two.

What on earth is this?

I've pooped.
- It's only a turd or two, my friend.

It's just crap, my friend.
We need turds in this world!

Give Knud a big applause!

Honoured guests. It's now time for
the main attraction of the evening.

The magic time machine.

No one really knows
where it comes from.

Some say it's Antarctica.
Others say it's Atlantis.

When you enter the machine, -

- you can travel to any
time in any country.

Time isn't just something
that moves forward.

Time is more like a wheel.

Imagine that this is now.
But over here is yesterday.

Or maybe over here is in a year.

Now we just have to find a
volunteer from the audience.

You, sweet lady. Will
you please come up here?

Me?
- Yes.

And your name is?
- Gudrun.

Where would you like
to travel in the past?

I'm very interested in ancient Egypt.
- Fascinating choice.

Right. We're ready.

It's not dangerous.

As long as you behave.

1325 BC EGYPT

I've noticed we have a
brave boy here tonight.

It was me!
- You.

No, Elias.

Try to take a look in the machine.
- It's empty.

Yes.

Please sit down.

Now, Gudrun is in ancient Egypt,
the promised land of the Pharaohs.

What she experiences there,
we really can't tell.

Because five seconds here -

- can equal many years in
the time she travels in.

Now, let's get Gudrun back.

Welcome back.
- Ahlan! No, I mean hello.

Please return to your
seat. How about that?

I was in ancient Egypt, Jørgen.

Let's go and see the camels.
- Yes, let's.

Hey, stop! Why don't we
look for the time machine?

Why?

To travel back in time
and help the headmaster.

It's just a circus act.

The lady travelled
to ancient Egypt.

She was an actress.
But it was a good act.

Look, the camels.

Wow.

It's cute.
- Yes.

Their fur is so soft.

Don't you want to pet it? Elias?
- Elias?

Elias?
- Elias?

Elias?
- Elias?

Elias?

DANGER - RISK OF TIME
LEAPS NO TRESPASSING

Do you think he's...?

What are you doing? Hey!
It says "no trespassing".

Lucia, it says "no
trespassing". Hey. Hey.

I think he entered the machine.
- Then get him out.

Elias?

It's empty.

Let's look outside.
- Hang on a minute.

23rd of December, 1897.

Viborg.

It's just a stage
prop for a magic act.

What if it isn't?

I have to find him.
He's my responsibility.

Elias? Elias?

Elias?

Elias?

Valdemar?

Do the one with the leg again.

Great. And you can do that...

Hey! What are you doing here? The
performance isn't until tonight.

I'm looking for a boy with the same
jacket as me. Have you seen him?

He probably went into town.
- Which town?

Well, where are we?
- Viborg.

And it is year 1897?
- Of course. Why do you ask?

Never mind. Thank you.

The mystery of the lost children!
The police has no clues.

The mystery of the lost children!
The police has no clues.

Buy today's paper.
- May I ask you a question?

Do you want to see
a real police badge?

Jokumsen, show her yours.
- Yes.

You may touch it.
- No thanks.

I'm looking for a boy, this
tall, with the same jacket as me.

You've lost a boy?
Sounds serious.

It sounds like a crime. Do
you think she's a criminal?

Good question. Are you?

Come on! He got lost when
we were at the circus.

Can you prove it?
- Have you seen him or not?

Listen up, my friend. A band
of thieves are ravaging Viborg.

The children in this town
mysteriously disappear.

So we don't have time for you and
your brother's stupid hide-and-seek.

Get lost.

No.
- Come on.

Sit still. I can't
work like this.

Come on, open your mouth.

Do you like the new
boy at The Raven Nest?

The little, annoying and curious one?
- Can we use him?

No, doesn't he seem a bit slow?
- The Raven Nest...

Dad, I changed my mind.
- You have to.

It'll teach you to
brush your teeth.

Come on, open your mouth.

Let's scram.
- That's it, my boy.

Here you are. It'll be five pennies.
- Yes, of course.

What? My wallet. My wallet's
gone! I've been robbed!

Police! I've been robbed!
- It was her.

I saw it, too.
- Get her!

Stop in the name of the law!
- It wasn't me.

Stop!
- In the name of the law!

Get back here! Or...
- Or what?

Or...
- Or no Christmas presents for you!

Oh watchman

the clock has struck eight

when the dark
blinds the earth...

Hello there.

Don't be afraid.
- Who are you?

I'm the night watchman.
I know the town by heart.

Where is The Raven Nest?
- What is that?

A place in this town.
- You must have misunderstood.

Look. I have a map
of Viborg here.

Look. There's no Raven Nest.

What is this?
- Raven Castle.

It's an old deserted manor.

Do you know how to get there?
- Bomholt lives near Raven Castle.

He delivers soda water to Buchwald's
Inn and will pass by in a minute.

Where is Buchwald's Inn?

Down the street, and then
left through a narrow alley.

Thanks.
- Wait. Karl Bomholt hates children!

What do you mean?
- Bottles are always missing here.

Bottles are never missing here.
- Well, well. I'll be off. See you.

Excuse me! Are you Karl Bomholt?
- What's it to you?

Can I drive with you to Raven Castle?
- Certainly not!

Aren't you going that way?
- Yes. And so what?

Why can't I drive with you?
- Because... You just can't.

You should let her drive with you.
- Out of the question.

Children are noisy and smelly and
they steal. Full stop. Goodbye.

Just hop on. He'll
never notice.

RAVEN CASTLE

Hi, little bird.

Watch out, sis.

Elias!

Why are you here?
- I want to help the headmaster.

You promised to ask me first.
You're my responsibility.

That's your last soda
pop. We're going home.

No way. I'm not going home.
- I promised your dad to babysit you.

My dad can jump in a lake.
He's always in charge.

I have more fun at
Baron von Raven's.

Who's he?
- Good evening, my dear children!

Martin, are you ready? There
you go. Yes! Fantastic.

Girls, may von Raven
have a little go at this?

Two, three, four, one!

Good evening, young lady.
My name is Baron von Raven.

Who do I have the
honour of meeting?

Lucia.
- Welcome, Lucia.

These two are my trusted minions,
The Rat and Lord Wheedling.

Hi.
- Listen... Lucia...

Are you also tired of stupid adults
who always want to be in charge?

Yes, a little.

Then it's a good thing that
we have The Raven Nest, right?

You see, here in The Raven Nest
we're all one big, happy family.

Here, you see... the
children are in charge.

And each and every
day should be what?

A party.
- And a bed of roses.

Exactly.

It's an old proverb
I once made up.

So here, you can do
anything you want to?

Yes, by and large. We've only
got one simple rule here.

No one can enter von Raven's
office. Children are not allowed.

Exactly. And why is it that
no one can enter my office?

Offices are for boring adult stuff.
We children are here to have fun.

Isn't it simply fantastic?

So all the town's missing
children are here?

I wouldn't put it like that.

"Missing"? They've just
found a new and better home.

What about their
parents? They miss them.

It's getting late. Kids, it's
time for the evening count!

What did you bring
for Raven Dad?

Oops, what do we
have here? Righto.

Let's see what it is.
Wow, this is nice!

Yes, and what do we have here?

What's this? Oh,
yes. Excellent.

Ooh! There we go.

This must be our
record for December.

Wow! Brilliant!

A toothbrush? What on earth?
Never mind. What about you, Elias?

Oh, a gold watch!
- Elias, did you steal?

Before you say
anything, Lucia, -

- you should know that it pains me
that we have to turn to stealing.

You have to understand that
all these stolen goods -

- are naturally passed
on to the poorhouse -

- and the needy children of
this town who at Christmas...

What are you doing?

It's for the poor.
- How do you know?

Only a modest little
amount stays with us -

- so we can have the
bare necessities.

Such as chocolate,
soda pops and cakes.

Isn't that right, cheeky Elias?

It's true. The poor get
the money. All of it.

Hello!

Hello!

He's all gone.

There's no change for the better?
- No, on the contrary.

He's disappeared
into his own world.

Does he eat enough? He
looks a little pale.

He's stopped taking
nourishment altogether.

It's no good.
- No.

Did you try giving him rice pudding?
- Who said rice pudding?

It wasn't me.

You misheard her. Claudia said
that she finds mice off-putting.

There, there. Good. Was it
you who said "rice pudding"?

Cheers!

There's a meeting by the
fire in the living room!

Can I have a soda pop, please?
- Here you are.

Hello. What's your name?
- Margrethe.

Have you been here long?
- For three weeks.

Did all of you... get candy?
- Yes!

Splendid. Then, let's start.

Here, you see the old, -

- stone deaf and blind as a bat
Jens Boye's merchant's yard.

And why am I showing you this?

Well, I do so -

- because it's here we are to
commit the heist to end them all.

A heist so spectacularly done -

- and contrived by my brilliant
brain that it will write history.

A heist so great -

- that everyone... at
the town's orphanages -

- and poorhouses -

- will never again worry
about Christmas presents.

The heist will take place
tomorrow. Christmas Eve.

Tomorrow, we will
rob Santa's sleigh!

What?
- Brilliant, right?

Look, we need an angry cat.
Rice pudding. Castor oil.

A ladder. A horse
carriage with one horse.

We start here. At the gate to
Jens Boye's merchant's yard.

Jens Boye has a
fierce old watchdog.

Brutus is its name.
A bloody mutt.

But there's one thing
it doesn't like.

First obstacle out of the way.

Now we just wait until
the clock strikes ten.

The clock has struck ten

And then it's time
for little Lis -

- to prepare Santa's
late-night snack.

The door is locked, of course.
But this won't be a problem.

Santa lands on Jens Boye's
roof at ten o'clock sharp.

We know this from The Rat who
worked there last Christmas.

Jens Boye wants... slippers.

Santa Claus is known for his
great love of rice pudding.

Naturally, Lis has put
a bowl for him there.

"For Santa Claus. Bon
appityte." How cute.

He'll pay dearly
for this weakness.

The hungry Christmas fool.

Oh, no.

Oh, God. No pooing
in the Santa suit.

Now that Santa is
out of the way, -

- we can proceed to the
next step of the plan.

While Lord Wheedling and The Rat
empty the sleigh of presents, -

- I sneak into the
old merchant's house.

Here, I borrow his glasses
and his ear trumpet.

But I leave him his old gun.

Now, all that remains is my
very last brilliant move.

To lock up Santa Claus
in Jens Boye's loo.

Hello?

Then we can enjoy my genius
masterpiece of a heist.

While Santa Claus is
busy in the shit house.

Let me out!

The noise from the desperate
Santa has woken up old Jens Boye.

Oh, no.
- Help! Let me out!

The loo door is
a heavy oak door.

I'll pump you full of lead.

Where are you?
- Let me out! Let me out!

Who is it?
- You won't believe it.

But it's me, your Santa.
- You're stealing my decanter?

You're stealing from me?
I'll shoot your buttocks off.

Stop, you damned thief!
Give me my decanter!

At this point, the empty sleigh
would normally send Santa after us.

Luckily, we have the
angry Jens Boye -

- to scare away Santa.

Meanwhile, we quietly bring the
presents home to Raven Castle.

Come on!

Finish.

A beautiful plan, right?

This is a grand heist, Raven Dad.
- You're a genius.

Yes, Margrethe.

Isn't it wrong to rob Santa?
He's making children happy.

Thank you...

for a very good
question, Margrethe.

Yes, I'm glad that
you ask this question.

I'm really glad that you asked.

You see, the fact of the
matter is that Santa Claus...

really isn't as good as
he's pretending to be.

Doesn't he only bring
presents once a year?

And is it not him that
single-handedly decides -

- who has been bad
and who has been good?

Can you tell me why he
alone should determine this?

And have you ever wondered
why he has never ever -

- come to us with presents?

The truth is that Santa
Claus doesn't care about us.

Oh, no, it's only those
who can afford a chimney -

- and a fancy Christmas
tree who get presents.

That bloody Santa!

No, what we are doing here is -

- that we take from the
ones who already have, -

- and then we give to those
who are very much in need.

It's the poor children who
should get the presents.

Not the rich ones!

Will you follow me, children?
- Yes!

Soda pops for all!

Is that Santa the headmaster?
- Yes.

So von Raven's heist is what
made the headmaster crazy?

It must be.

We can't let him do it.
- No. We have to stop it.

Von Raven, I can't fall asleep.

Elias, do you lie awake
thinking of your angry dad?

No, I lie awake thinking
of the heist tomorrow.

I see.

Yes, well...

As a child I invented
this little trick -

- called... counting sheep.

There aren't any sheep in our room.
- Sheep? Where? Ah, I see.

I simply imagined the sheep.

I imagined a lot of
sheep in my head.

They came leaping by, and I got more
and more sleepy and fell asleep.

If I have to make up the sheep,
then I'll know how many they are.

Yes, eh... They are
infinite, Elias.

You just have to count them.
- How do you count infinity?

Just bloody count
as many as you can.

And in the end,
you'll fall asleep.

What kind of sheep?
- What kind?

Yes, from Iceland, Greenland
or a third country?

You'll have to find out yourself.
Just count them. And get back to bed.

It'll be goats, then.
- Goats?

They are cooler. Well, good night.
It was nice chatting to you.

Goats. Crazy kid.

Are you ready?

This office is
rather boring, right?

Why does he want
to hide this place?

Elias? Why doesn't that boy
listen to anything I say?

Elias? Elias?

Elias, where have you been?
- I just touched the card.

Which card?
- This one.

You mean this one?
- Yes.

What's happening?

Look, Lucia. A treasure!

It must be all the stuff
the children steal in town.

No, it's for the poor.

No, Elias. Von Raven
keeps it all for himself.

The poor don't get any of this.
- Then he's a liar.

Yes. And a giant turd.

What should we do?
- We have to tell the others.

And stop this crazy
heist. Come on.

Shit.

What?
- He's coming.

What's he doing?

He's coming. Hurry!

Down! Do as I say.

Now, let's see what we have
today. What do we have here?

Ah! A pearl necklace.
I love pearl necklaces.

And what do we have here?

Oh. A gold watch. Yes, yes, yes.

Let's see what it says
here. "From Mum and Dad".

Thank you so much, Mum and Dad.

What do you have here?
- Do as I say.

Understood?
- Yes.

I love gold.

What about a little picture?
Yes! It will be good.

I'm so... Let's see.
Righto. Yes, like this.

That's it. And then...

And then just...

Fantastic! Oh, I'll be darned.

Oh, my God, it's late.

Did he just take a selfie?

Yuck, what a complacent guy.
- I think he left.

Let's get out of here.

How are you?
- How do you do?

How do you do?

You look fantastic.
- You look fantastic!

Elias and I discovered that the
loot never reaches the poorhouse.

Von Raven keeps it all.
- There's no money at Raven Castle.

Yes, there is. We found a
secret room with all the loot.

So he tricked us?
- Von Raven only caters to himself.

Do you have proof?

Look at this.
- My God, he's the biggest show-off!

What do we do now?
- We have to stop von Raven.

We won't let him rob Santa and
ruin Christmas for all children.

It's locked.

Let me.

What on earth is going on?
- Explain what you're up to.

I'm doing some bookkeeping,
distributing money to poor children.

Yeah, right. You're keeping
all the money yourself.

I'd never dream of doing
such a thing, Lucia.

Then what is this?

It's a fake picture.

It's clear to see
that this isn't me.

Move it!

Raven Dad, are you okay?
- Yes.

Your dear Raven Dad is a fraud.
- Nonsense!

No one is less of
a fraud than me.

I'm the world's least fraud.

Yeah, right. Elias. The door.

It's not there.
- What?

The card is gone.

Where is the card that
opens the secret room?

I have no idea what you mean.

The secret room behind the
painting. I saw it with my own eyes.

The room in there is
not at all secret.

SCANDINAVIAN-AMERICAN SEA LINES

It's empty.
- Yes, of course it is.

What did you expect?
- Last night it was full of gold.

This room was built so that we
could hide here if the police comes.

There has never been
gold or money in here.

Where did you hide
the money, you fraud?

Maybe it's you who
are the fraud here.

Why are you trying to turn my
dear Raven kids against me?

Can't you see what
she's doing to us?

She's trying to poison
our relationship, -

- so that we lose
trust in one another.

But she's got enough money. Look
at her clothes. Nice and clean.

Just like her teeth.
- He must've moved all the loot.

I won't let you shatter my dream
of helping poor children. Come on.

You stay here.

Hey, stop. Don't let
him rob Santa Claus.

He'll spoil Christmas
for all children!

I'm so disappointed in you.
How could you believe her?

Yes, Margrethe.

But do we have to rob Santa?
- I'm bloody sick of your questions!

You want to join the two cowards?
- No.

How can I ever trust you again?

I'm sorry, von Raven.
- I'm sorry.

I'm sorry, von Raven.
- What did you say?

I'm sorry, von Raven!
- What?

Okay, kids. You're forgiven. The
Rat will soon be here with the cat.

Come on, kids. There's
nothing to be scared of.

Get the ladder up. Now
we just miss The Rat.

There he is. Wait
just a minute.

Yes, you almost had me there.

If it wasn't for Elias, I wouldn't
have noticed that you were on to me.

I managed to empty the room
in time, so there's no loot.

What a lot of nonsense.
- See this little souvenir.

You'll go to prison for this.

What is it?
- No, because tomorrow...

Tomorrow, I sail to America.

With a lot of gold and
all Santa's presents.

So... Merry Christmas to you.

And may you rot in here.

We'll be alright.

What if we never get home?

We'll get home.

I just have to figure out how.

You came back!
- Lis persuaded us.

There's something rotten about Raven.
- He's a liar.

Look.

I'll give him a beating!

How do we get into town?
- If we walk, it'll take us a day.

We can run.
- I'd wish we had a horse carriage.

We've got one right there.

Brewer Bomholt hates children.
- We can't let that stop us.

Move aside.

Hey! Stop! Can we ride with you?
- Is it you again? Go away.

We need your carriage. It's urgent.
- Don't give me that! Get lost.

Christmas is in danger
if you don't help us.

And so what? I hate Christmas
almost as much as I hate children.

Thor, will you handle this?

Give us a lift!

Are you holding on?
- Yes!

Come on. Giddy up.

Faster. Come on.

Thanks for the ride.
Merry Christmas.

Well... a bit of merry
Christmas to you, too.

Here's the plan. Margrethe,
Lis and Elias come with me.

We have to get to the merchant
before von Raven starts his plan.

The rest of you hurry to the
police and tell them everything.

Now it's just the three of us.
The other sissies got cold feet.

Good evening. Good evening.

The thing is to stay focused.

Are you ready?
- Yes.

The Rat is ready.
- The cat.

Wasn't it your job
to handle the cat?

I've decided that it's probably
better that I keep watch. Get going.

Fantastic! Marvellous.

Brutus?

Where's the dog?
- I think we're in luck.

Brutus must have fallen asleep
upon eating the rice pudding.

Help me untie the horse
from the carriage.

How lucky can a boy be?

What are you doing? We're in a hurry.
- Okay. I'm coming.

Raven Dad, what shall
I do with the cat?

The cat? Place it by
those barrels over there.

You empty the sleigh, I'll
handle the rice pudding.

Or should we call
it the fart pudding?

Come on. Let's place the ladder.

Okay, now.

Come and help me.

I think it's stuck.
- Go to the end of the ladder.

Stupid dog door!

Jens Boye...

Ugh!

Here you are.

Bloody hell. A pot of piss.

Good evening, little Rat.
- What are you doing here?

We don't want rats on the roof.

Help! Help me, Raven Dad!

It's that girl again.

Help!

Help! Help me!

Help! Mummy!

Help! Help! Mummy!

Let go, mutt!

Uninvited guests.
- Ouch!

What's this? You
two darned thieves!

Get out! Or I'll pump
you full of lead!

What's this? What are
you doing in my loo?

Good evening.
- Scram!

Get lost!
- Yes, of course.

Hurry, or I'll pump you full of lead.
- They are the ones you must arrest.

Don't you run off
now. You lout.

Funny. I don't suppose any
of you gentlemen know -

- where I can find
a chamber pot?

Von Raven, you are arrested
for theft, fencing, -

- luring of children,
squatting, stealing horses.

And for bringing Christmas in danger.
- Caught with your pants down.

Shut up, you evil woman.
- Seize him, Jokumsen!

You come with me. You're
a high-hat. Come on, guys.

Robbing Santa.
That's really shoddy.

You'll go straight to prison.
- We were stupid.

When something sounds too
good to be true, it's false.

May I run home to Mum and Dad?
- You all have to run home.

I hope my mum isn't angry.
- She's not. Your parents love you.

It'll be the best Christmas
surprise when you return home.

Merry Christmas.
- Merry Christmas, Margrethe.

Merry Christmas.

Come on. Let's get back
to the time machine.

What if the circus
has left town?

They haven't.

Set the machine to Greenland,
23rd of December, 2022.

Perfect. Come on.

I'm sorry, Valdemar.
- I was right.

It was just a magic act.
- A magic act? What's this, then?

An old-fashioned soda pop.
- It works.

Come on, hurry up.
- Where are we going?

To the academy to make the
headmaster change his stupid law.

You just entered the
machine two seconds ago.

So he wanted to rob Santa's
sleigh and keep the presents?

Right.
- I'm glad you stopped him.

Yes, and now the headmaster
has no bad Christmas memories.

Where are you going? No guests
allowed. Especially children.

What are you doing here? Why
aren't you at the circus?

It sounds mad, but we've
cured the headmaster.

We travelled to 1897 and prevented
what made him fear Christmas.

Nonsense.
- It's true.

Are you listening to a little girl?
- I'm not a little girl.

Doctor Herz, look.
- What's this?

Where's the damaged hat?
- It's the same hat.

I looked away and as I turned around,
the hat was no longer damaged.

The kids might be telling the truth.
- I simply can't believe it.

"Christmas is terrible. Awful!
It should be abolished!"

"Christmas! The most
wonderful time of the year."

"Rubbish! It has to be cancelled.
For the sake of the children."

"Not at all. Christmas is the
absolutely best time of the year."

"You don't understand..."
- Why is he still weird?

"Twit!" "Who are
you calling a twit?"

It definitely looks like a
duo personalis dialogicum.

You mean he's talking to himself?
- Yes, you can put it like that.

Anton and Mikkel,
can you please...

"You're the twit here." "I
don't want to be a twit."

"You're the master twit." "Oh,
no, now there are more twits."

I don't understand.
- He must be stuck between memories.

Perhaps the new memory
isn't strong enough.

Let's hypnotize him, so he
remembers his good memory.

Hypnosis is no go.
It's quackery. Stop.

We saw them do it in the circus.

We've no time to get the headmaster
to the circus. Impossible.

I can do it.
- You?

We might as well try. It
can't get worse than this.

Unless he finds a third
headmaster to talk to.

I need a pendulum.

As a doctor, I have to say
I don't approve of this.

But now... I've said it.

Good.

We'll begin.

I'm sure that you can do it.
I'm not the least nervous.

Totally calm. Look at my
hand. Totally still. Almost.

Only the future of the academy is
at stake. And the headmaster's.

Keep quiet.
- Quiet. I need to concentrate.

Go on, honey.

Your eyelids get
more and more heavy.

You are sleepy. You
only listen to my voice.

Only to my voice.

Pull yourself together.
- What happened? Sorry.

Carry on.

Breathe... calmly.

Headmaster, feel how your
eyelids get more and more heavy.

You are sleepy. You
only listen to my voice.

Only my voice. Now we're
going on a small journey.

But everything's just fine.

When I snap my fingers, you're
back at Christmas Eve, 1897.

Three, two, one.

Tell me what you see.

I see Jens Boye's merchant's
yard and prepare for landing.

Oh, it's such a
beautiful, starry night.

The perfect night for
delivering presents.

What was that?

The sweet Jens Boye has
left rice pudding for me.

I love rice pudding.

I don't think anyone loves
rice pudding more than me.

Oh, well, I'd better get going.

Giddy up, Rudolf! Giddy up!

When I snap my
fingers, you wake up -

- with these good memories of
a lovely Christmas Eve in 1897.

Three, two, one.

Good morning, headmaster.

How are you feeling?
- Fantastic. Splendid.

I had the most wonderful dream.
- It's beginner's luck.

What are you doing here?
- We just fixed your nut.

You were all gone.
- You were in 1897.

1897?

But isn't there something
you have to handle right now?

The crazy law that cancels Christmas.
- Cancels Christmas?

You can read it here.

What on earth was I
thinking? I'm such a fool!

Dear friends, Santas, wives,
children, elves and everybody else.

I hope you'll accept
my sincere apology -

- for all the confusion and alarm
my embarrassing little episode -

- has created at the academy.

But thanks to Elias' and
Lucia's enormous feat, -

- the mistake was straightened
out. Please give them a hand.

The law that abolishes
Christmas and Santa hats -

- is hereby annulled.

Christmas is saved!

Bravo.

Wait. I've got something to say.
Even if you think I'm just a child.

Please speak, Lucia.

I suggest we change the
statutes of the academy, -

- so that the headmaster can't
pass laws without a vote.

This has to stop!

Naturally, the academy
needs a leader.

Someone who is good and wise
like you are, headmaster.

Thank you.

Let's remember that everyone can
make a mistake or lose common sense.

Perhaps a little.

Or can be egoistic and greedy even
though they claim the opposite.

We have to change the laws so that
one person can't decide alone.

All new rules and laws
shall demand a vote.

Both children and adults
shall have the vote.

Because we all share this academy.
- Bravo!

It has to be the wisest
person that rules.

Or it'll all end in chaos. People
don't know what is best for them.

They need guidance. A
good, wise and strong man.

Just like it's always
been. I refuse.

You're outvoted, Kalorius.
- Yes, but I protest.

And leave.
- You're of course welcome to leave.

I hereby make my final
decision as an absolute ruler -

- that the majority vote will
decide at the academy from now on.

Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas, Olrik.

We got our Christmas after all.

And all the presents will
be delivered in time.

What a beautiful evening.

There's Yulius.
- Merry Christmas!

Hello.
- Have a nice trip, Dad.

Thor!

Erna, Thor is home!

Lis!

Margrethe, is that you?
- Dad!

How are you, Rat?
- The Rat is mad.

Merry Christmas.

Bleurgh.

I'll pass.
