All language subtitles for Five Gold Rings (2024) (Awafim.tv)

[upbeat holiday music]

* *

* *

Oh.

* *

I'll tell you, Audrey,

I love beachcombing year round,

but it never fails
that at this time of year,

I find
the most treasured gifts.

Look.

This, my dear,
is a Saint Nicholas medal.

That's pretty.

- How magical is it
that I found this

a few days before Christmas?

Saint Nicholas in Dutch
is Sint Nicolaas,

which, if you say that quickly,
it becomes Sinterklaas.

Santa Claus.

That's a perfect item
for sale right now.

- Oh, I won't be selling this
in the shop.

I'll be giving it
to Finn O'Sullivan.

Who's he?

Do you see his name there?

I just have to find him.

Now, what have you got there?

Merry Christmas.

Oh.

It's just a sketch, Grandma.

No,

it's the loveliest Christmas
gift I've ever received.

[wondrous music]

* *

Hey, Audrey, slow down.

[laughter]

[bell rings]

* *

Audrey, slow down.

OK, Mom.

Merry Christmas.

* *

Hey, what are you two doing?

Hey, honey.

Just looking for a frame
for my Christmas gift.

Audrey, it's lovely.

[chuckles]

* *

Will this work?

Perfect.

Audrey, the secret spot.

* *

Remind me the name
on the medal.

Finn O'Sullivan.

That ring a bell for you?

- Mm, he might be related
to John O'Sullivan.

John sings in the choir
with me.

Is he single?

- Mom.
- What?

Can't I wish my daughter
to have a man in her life?

- Well, you can wish
all you want,

but I've got my hands full
being a single mom

and running this business
with you.

And as far as your pendant,
we're singing Christmas Eve.

I could ask John then
if he knows this Finn.

- Oh, could you call John
before that?

I'd really like to get him
his Saint Nicholas medal back.

I think it would be quite
in the spirit of Christmas

to find that something you
thought was lost

is, in fact, found.

What do you think, kiddo?

Sounds pretty wise, Grandma.

Comes with age.

[chuckling]

Oh.

* *

Ah.

She's gonna be
a famous artist someday,

mark my words.

* *

[chuckles]

["The Twelve Days
of Christmas"]

- * On the fifth day
of Christmas *

* My true love
sent to me five--*

* *

[phone buzzing]

Hi, Mom.

Hey.

I didn't catch you painting,
did I?

No.

What's up?

- Well, the lawyer
and I finally

went through Grandma's will,
and as expected,

she left the shop
to both of us.

[sighs] Right.

You gonna start
looking for a buyer?

- If that's what
you still want.

- Mom, I don't want you
to sell the shop.

Mm, that's not what I meant.

I love the shop.

I know you do.

- Mom, are you trying
to get me to move back

and run the shop with you?

- Sweetie,
I was just sensing some--

I don't know, mixed emotions.

- Of course
there are mixed emotions.

I want to clone myself
and have my clone come back

to Springside
and help you run the shop.

I just--

[melancholy music]

I miss her.

Me too, honey.

She did leave you
a few gifts as well,

with specific instructions
in the will

that they're to be given
before Christmas.

* *

- Grandma and her
specific instructions.

[chuckles]

- Well, I guess
I'll be seeing you soon then.

You will.

Good night, sweetheart.

Bye, Mom.

* *

[lively music]

* *

[gasps]

[squeals]

- Sweetheart.
- Oh.

Oh, it's good to be back, Mom.

- Oh.
- Oh, wow.

- Now it just needs
more Christmas decorations.

Really reminds me of Grandma.

- It always was all her,
wasn't it?

- It really was.
- Audrey?

Hey, Charlie.

Merry Christmas.

Oh, Merry Christmas.

- How's the big city
treating you, kid?

- You know, it's still big.
[laughter]

How's it going?

- Oh, this is my favorite
time of the year, so--

And business is good.

Yeah, it is,

but that's not why
I love this season.

I'm still the resident Santa
up at the community center.

Oh, of course you are.

I love that.

Well, take care, ladies.

I have to go open the shop.

Of course.

Merry Christmas.

Take care, Charlie.

Merry Christmas, Diana.

And to you, Charles.

[tense music]

Is that New York City's

celebrated artist
Audrey Miller?

Hi, Miss Drake.

Mwah, mwah.

Diana, please.

Hello, Kay.

Merry Christmas, Diana.

How's the antiques business
over on First Avenue?

- Oh, I can hardly keep
anything in the shop

for more than a week.

How is it over here?

Oh, we're managing.

- Mm-hmm, mm-hmm.

Yeah.

Hmm.

Audrey,
are you able to join us

for the Christmas Giving Gala?

We're raising money for
the Springside food pantry

this year.

I wouldn't miss it.

- Oh, wonderful.
[chuckles]

You know, I pinch myself when
I think that Audrey Miller

used to enter her artwork
into our Giving Gala

charity art contest.

- [laughs]
That's so interesting.

I never won.

I mean,
not that it's about winning.

You know, I just--

it would have been nice
for my favorite charity

to get the winning prize
donation.

You know.

- At any rate,
you must be delighted

to have this treasure back,
Kay.

Maybe she can help you
a little around the shop.

- Oh, of course.
- You know, actually,

I was just telling her
how beautiful it is.

Oh, especially that.

* *

So cute.

- Another year
with that honor, Kay.

Though I can't help
but wonder how many more years

you'll receive it

now that Molly
is no longer with us.

* *

Diane hasn't changed.

- No, she's still
a shortsighted snob

who cares more about silly
awards than your grandmother

- or I ever did.
- I see that.

- And I know that her sales
are down again this year.

Really?

- She'll probably throw a party
when she finds out

we're selling the place.

Excuse me. Hands off.

- Missy.
- I got it.

- No, it's mine.
- My treat.

[dreamy holiday music]

* *

Oh.

Wow.

People loved her

and were grateful
for all she gave them.

Speaking of giving,

she wanted you to have it,

and she left you the desk.

Seriously?

I know.

It'll probably cost more
to ship

than the desk is even worth.

Mom, this desk is priceless.

* *

You haven't been using it.

I was.

But it's yours now.

And in the will, she asked you
to look in the secret spot.

* *

You haven't looked?

She didn't ask me.

* *

"Dear Audrey,

"the day my oncologist told me

"that the cancer reached
stage IV,

"I went out on a treasure hunt.

"I hit the beach,
Thompson's Park,

"and the woods by Mayor's Park.

"I left no stone unturned.

"And look what I found.

"Five gold rings,

"like in my favorite
Christmas tune.

"So, my true love,

"I give you the five gold rings

"in hopes that you will do
what you know I would do.

"Find the people who lost
these five gold rings.

"You get to be the lady
Sinterklaas this Christmas.

"I'd love to see you find the
owners before Christmas Day,

"as I would do.

"Save the best for last.

"And I suggest
you enlist the aid

"of our old Saint Nicholas
medal recipient,

Finn O'Sullivan."

- It was Finn's medal
that started her

returning items to people
at Christmas, wasn't it?

Yeah.

"I know how hard
the holidays can be

"when someone you love is gone,

"and my body may be gone,

"but my spirit's here.

"And this quest
I bequeath

"to you.

Love, Grandma."

* *

- Audrey, you don't have
to spend your vacation

on a wild goose chase.

This was Grandma's tradition.

Find lost items
and do everything you can

to find their owners
by Christmas.

It's--

it's an incredible gift
she's given me.

I would be more than happy
to accept this quest.

* *

- I wonder if Finn
will feel the same way.

* *

Thanks for everything, Finn.

I know you said no charge.

No worries, Candice.

- You must let us pay you
something for all your work.

- It was my pleasure, Josh.
This one's on me.

Any time you need me, I'm here.

- Oh.
- All right.

- Now get out of here.
- [laughs]

Hey, have a nice day.

- You're still working pro bono
for those in need, I see.

Wow.

Audrey Miller.

Finn O'Sullivan.

- When'd you get back from--

where is it
that you live again?

- Manhattan.
- Ah, that's the one.

- I just got here this morning,
so you can't get mad at me

for not calling you this time.

Except you didn't call.

You just showed up here.

- Mm-hmm.

How'd you get
my office address?

Your Uncle John.

My mom talked to him.

Sounds about right.

He's always looking for
a reason to talk to Kay.

He's crazy about her.

That's interesting.

He always seems
to have a girlfriend.

- And he says
she's married to her work.

That's accurate.

Although she is retiring
after the holidays.

- You're kidding.
What about the shop?

Putting on the market.

And Molly was cool with this?

- Oh, I mean,
all my grandma ever wanted

was for anyone to be happy,

so my mom will be happy not
running the shop by herself.

And you can't help her run it

because you're busy
working in--

Manhattan.

That's the one.

Yeah, speaking of work,

I actually might have a job for
you, if you're not too busy.

Just wanted to discuss it
with you.

OK.

First, I'm gonna need
one of those.

Can I buy you a refill
and we have a catch up?

Sure can.

After you.

[light music]

* *

- Every time
I come back here and visit,

it just reminds me of
why I love it so much.

Speaking of reminders,

remind me
why we never went out?

- That's direct.
[chuckles]

Uh, probably has something
to do with the fact

that we went to different
high schools and colleges.

You know, whenever I would
see you, you had a girlfriend

- Yeah, my mom says
I fear commitment.

- Well--
[chuckles]

Having a girlfriend
and being good at commitment

is not the same thing,
my friend.

- Whoa.
- What?

- That is verbatim what my
last girlfriend said to me

when we broke up.

There you go.

So you don't have a girlfriend
right now?

I do not.

What happened?

- Long story.
- Mm.

What about you?

Do you have a boyfriend?

I did.

Yeah, we were together
a couple years,

but things were starting
to go south

before my grandma
even got sick, so.

We just used to argue about
whether or not I loved my art

- more than I love him.
- Ouch.

Yeah.

- Well, did you?
- Mm.

Ouch again.

- So about this job.
- Mm.

If you're too busy, it's--

- Audrey, do you remember
when we first met?

You and Molly came
to my basketball game

and returned my missing
Saint Nicholas medal.

Mm.

Yeah, I remember.

I also remember that you nailed
a three-point shot

right after
we gave you that medal back.

Sure did.

Oh, do you still have it?

* *

No.

I haven't taken it off since.

My good luck charm.

So I guess I wasn't the only
one who Molly tracked down

to returned something lost.

No, it was her thing.

* *

[clears throat]

- So you have
no other information

about these items?

Nope.

- You know, Christmas is--
- Nine days away. I know.

It's gonna be a lot of work,
and if you are too busy--

I'm taking your job, Audrey.

- Wait, seriously?
- Of course.

I can't say no to this.

- Thank you, Finn.
[chuckles]

- Thank me once I've figured
out who these belong to.

OK.

Oh, and I'm obviously
gonna pay you.

- No, you--

- Finn, you deserve to be--

Let's talk about this later.

First things first,
these need to be polished.

Mm.

Oh, I'm way ahead of you.

- I'm impressed.
- [chuckles]

So this one has fire damage,
so polish won't work.

I'm gonna get my mom
to help with that one.

- So what exactly
did Molly mean

when she said
"save the best for last"?

- Well, she would, uh, dig up
some treasures,

and she would save the most
special one to return last.

- So which one
is the most special?

[light piano music]

You tell me.

- I'm gonna say
the one with the stones.

The ruby and emeralds?

You know, the Christmas colors.

That's what I was thinking.

Hang on.

* *

- Wait,
y-you're a private detective,

and you actually have
a magnifying glass?

No.

I have two.

Oh. [laughs]

Well, thank you, Sherlock.

You're welcome, Watson.

* *

Is that Russian?

* *

- So first, we have to access
the Cyrillic keyboard

that will let me translate it
into the English alphabet.

It's kind of like
breaking a code.

Here's a backwards N.

- There's a T.
- Mm.

Elizabet?

Elizabet luchshayaKlara.

Maybe Klara gave something
to Elizabet.

- Elizabeth, the finest
Clara to dance the role.

"The Nutcracker."

Now you need to translate.

The ballet, "The Nutcracker."

Have you never seen it?

- Do I strike you
as a ballet guy?

- It's a Christmas fairy tale
about a young girl

who does battle
with a mouse king.

A mouse king?

Yeah.

And Clara is the girl?

- Well, sometimes
she's called Marie.

It just depends
on the adaptation they use.

But the one they use here every
Christmas at the Swan Theater,

she's Clara.

Oh, and the music, the ballet,

it's Tchaikovsky.

Who was Russian.

Yes.

- And it looks like Clara is
being played by Ariel Bennett.

- I mean, the Swan has done
"The Nutcracker"

every year for decades.

Are there past casts on there?

Doesn't look like it.

They must have old programs
at the theater,

and they're closed on Mondays.

I've also got to write up
a report for another client,

but how about this?

I'll give you a call tomorrow
after I talk

to someone from the theater.

Yeah, sounds good.

Great.

* *

- I love everything
we have in here,

but the lamps are far and away
my favorite.

Yeah.
[phone buzzing]

Will you excuse me
for a second?

Go ahead.

- Hello there.
- Hey.

So I managed to track down
the theater manager,

but no one's gonna be there
until 5:00.

OK.

You want to pick me up
or should I meet you there?

Oh.

You're--you're coming?

Is that OK?

Yeah. Yeah, that's OK.

Great.

I'll be at the shop.

I'll be there.

[upbeat holiday music]

[indistinct chatter]

- Hi.
- Good evening.

- How can I help you?
- Hi.

I spoke to a Lexi on the phone.

- My name's Finn O'Sullivan.
- Oh, right.

Hi. I'm Lexi.

Nice to finally meet you.

Um, Lexi,
I'm a private investigator.

- Oh, my goodness.
Is someone in trouble?

No. No, no, no.

This is my associate,
Audrey Miller.

Basically, a client has
hired us to find something.

- Someone.
- Well, someone

that might have been playing
one of your Claras.

One of the girls is missing?

- No, not--
- No, not missing

in the sense
of a missing person.

No, no.

We have a valuable item
that belongs to this person,

and we would like to return it.

Which Clara?

- We only have the first name,
Elizabeth.

Elizabeth?

I've worked at the Swan
for five years,

and none of our Claras
were played by an Elizabeth.

Are you sure
she was at our theater?

Yeah.

- This might have been
years ago.

- Do you--

- Have past programs
we can review?

Of course.

It's probably somewhere
in storage.

But if you'll follow me,
I'll show you.

* *

I'm your associate, huh?

* *

The programs are--

- In one
or some of these boxes.

I'm sorry.

We've been meaning
to organize this,

but, you know, there's always
another show to mount, so--

- All good, Lexi.
- OK.

- Lexi,
you're needed backstage.

- If you'll excuse me,
I'm needed elsewhere.

Are you all good
with me leaving you here?

Yeah, no worries.

OK.

I hope you find your Elizabeth.

* *

- We'll just--

Start digging.

["Dance of
the Sugar Plum Fairy"]

* *

Very heavy.

* *

How...

do you not lose your mind
doing this job?

- Oh, no,
I've lost my mind before.

OK.

- Then I hire another PI
to help me find it.

- So we have three
different Elizabeths

- who played the role of Clara.
- That we do.

- We don't even know
if any of these Elizabeths

was the finest Clara
to dance the role.

- Or if they still live
in Springside.

So I do have some good software

that can
do identity record searches

on these three Elizabeths.

[yawns]

And you are tired, miss.

No. No, no, no, no. I'm good.

- Let's keep going.
- Audrey,

my dad taught me that
the two most important things

for a private investigator

are a good night's sleep
and a full stomach.

Are you asking me to dinner?

[ringtone chiming]

Hang on.

Yeah, Mom?

* *

Ugh. Again?

Yeah, I'm on a job.

Audrey Miller.

* *

Yeah, she is.

* *

I'll be there.

Sorry about that.

She was trimming the tree
and the lights stopped working.

It happens every year.

But she is offering to feed us
Christmas lasagna.

What's Christmas lasagna?

- You know, lasagna with
spinach, Christmas colors.

That is so ridiculously cute.

- Is it?
- Yeah.

We don't have to stay long.

No, no, no.

I love a homemade meal.

I want to see your mom.

Come on.

* *

Hi, Mom.

- Oh, thank goodness
you're here.

Hey, Merry Christmas, Audrey.

Merry Christmas, Colleen.

Oh, sweetheart, I'm sorry.

I know this happens every year.

It's almost like tradition.

- Yeah, but I'm afraid
this looks done for.

We're gonna have to get
a whole new set of lights.

You say that every year.

[laughs]

OK.

Well, are you ready
for some Christmas lasagna?

Oh, am I ever.

- So, Audrey,
how's your work going?

I'm a huge fan.

- Of my--my art?

- Yes.
John, my brother-in-law--

Audrey knows Uncle John, Mom.

He has a crush on my mom,

but thinks she's married
to her work.

And then she said that he
always has a girlfriend or--

- He hasn't dated anyone
in over a year.

But anyways,
John told me about your art,

and I started following you
on social media, and wow.

You're amazing.

Thank you.

- What she's not telling you
is that you've inspired her

to become an artist.

- No, seriously?
- No, no, no.

Finn, I'm a social worker
who paints.

This young lady is an artiste.

- Well, this social worker
has entered her painting

in a competition for some
Christmas charity gala thing.

The Christmas Giving Gala?

- Oh, I--no, I don't think
I'm gonna enter.

Mom.

Can I see it?

Uh, well, you know what?

How about after
we trim the tree?

I am gonna hold you to that.

This is beautiful.

Yeah.

It's my dad.

* *

- How old were you
when he passed?

20.

Just started junior year
of college,

which, obviously,
I didn't finish.

- Right, because you took over
his detective agency.

- Yeah, it's what my dad
would have wanted.

What did you want to do?

- Oh, I wanted to take over
the agency,

just not under
those circumstances.

I'm not great at the
business side of things.

Almost managed to run the
agency into the ground,

but...

anyway.

Should I call her in?

Mm.

Hey, Mom, we're in the clear.

- It is really exquisite,
Colleen.

Well, thank you,

but I don't think the lead
judge would agree,

Diana Trank.
Do you know her?

Yeah.

Trust me,
if Diana Trank is not a fan,

you should consider that
a compliment.

* *

That was so lovely.

- Sorry I got distracted
from the quest.

- No, we'll get back at it
tomorrow.

It was really nice
to see your mom.

- You know,
when I was in college,

she used to say to me
that I was wasting my time with

whoever I was with,
and instead--

- Oh, you should have been
wasting your time with me?

- Mm-hmm.

* *

I should get home.

I can drive you.

- No, it's just
a couple blocks.

I'd like to walk.

See you in the morning.

See you in the morning.

* *

* *

- You guys have a good day.
- Yeah.

Merry Christmas.

[light holiday music]

Mom, are you OK?

- I'm so grateful to you
for being here.

Where else would I be?

- Well, off on Grandma's quest,
I suppose.

Right.

Well, I will get back
to that soon.

Finn's just working on
some leads, so.

How is Finn?

He's pretty good at his job.

That's not what I was asking.

Oh, hi, Mrs. Miller.

Good afternoon, Finn.

Please call me Kay.

So were your ears burning?

Excuse me?

- Um, I assume you're here
for Audrey.

Yeah, I am.

Thanks, Kay.

Find our Elizabeths?

- Took a while with marriages
and name changes,

but, yeah, I found them.

I even spoke to one of them.

- Without me?
- Relax.

She lives in Chicago,
and the pendant isn't hers.

But the other two
Elizabeths are closer by.

I couldn't find numbers for
them, but I did find addresses.

One of them is right here
in Springside.

- Elizabeth Burton is
now Elizabeth Douglas.

- And the other,
Elizabeth Trentham.

- Elizabeth King,
but she lives in Saint Paul.

So we should try
Elizabeth Douglas.

Sounds like a plan.

Right.

* *

[knocking on door]

Hi.

Hi. Elizabeth Douglas?

Betty.

Nobody calls me Elizabeth.

- Oh, they did when you
danced the role of Clara.

Oh, my goodness.

I haven't seen that in years.

What about this?

What is that?

It's not yours?

Sorry. Who are you?

- I'm Audrey Miller,
and this is--

Finn O'Sullivan.

I'm a private investigator.

Miss Miller hired me
to track down

who this pendant belonged to.

We believe it was
someone named Elizabeth

who danced the role of Clara.

- Well, I did dance Clara, and
my given name is Elizabeth,

but I've never owned
that pendant.

I'm sorry.

- You wouldn't happen to know
an Elizabeth Trentham?

Yes.

She was a few years
younger than me.

I haven't seen her
in probably 20 years.

Is she still in the area?

Saint Paul.

Ah, well, good luck.

Merry Christmas.

Merry Christmas.

* *

Should we head to Saint Paul?

I think we should.

[upbeat music]

* *

- Oh, I used to go
crazy with my snowmen.

Crazy how?

- Oh, I'd make,
like, 10, 12 of them.

The whole yard would
be full of them.

Each one would have
a different look.

- [knocking on door]
- Different look how?

Three balls of snow.

- Finn, please don't tell me
you've never built a snowman.

OK, I won't tell you that.

- Have you really
never built a snowman?

That is correct.

Oh, this is a travesty.

That's against
Minnesota state law.

Pretty sure it's not.

Well, it should be.

* *

[knocking on door]

I don't think she's home.

- Yeah, I don't think
she's home either.

What do we do?

We wait.

Yeah, detective work
can be tedious.

Great.

* *

We can at least make
waiting a little more fun.

Hmm?

* *

Hello.

Hi.

I have a question for you.

So my friend has
never built a snowman.

I know.

Would you mind if we help you?

Um, yeah, sure.

Come on. Yeah.

[giggles]

* *

[laughing]

* *

There, and with those.

* *

- Looks like you broke through
that artist's block, Audrey.

- You guys new
to the neighborhood?

Oh, we're from Springside.

It's just west of here.

Yeah, we came to see
your neighbor, Elizabeth.

You family?

Uh, no.

Finn's a private investigator.
I'm his client.

You know, we actually have
this really beautiful

piece of jewelry that we--

we think might be Elizabeth's.

Do you know when
she might be back?

It'll be late.

She's caroling with
her choir tonight.

Do you know where?

- Yeah, at the Cathedral Atrium
in the city center.

* *

- Thank you so much.
- Sure.

Hey, good luck.
Merry Christmas.

Merry Christmas.

* *

carolers: * Born to raise
the sons of Earth *

* Born to give them
second birth *

* Hark,
the herald angels sing *

* Glory to the newborn king *

[applause]

* *

It's her.

Thank you.

Thank you so much for coming.

Thank you.

Miss King?

Yes?

Do you recognize this?

[gasps]

* *

- How did you--

- My grandmother found it
in Springside.

- How did you know
it belonged to me?

- Finn is a--
- Private investigator.

And Audrey is--

His associate.

My grandmother found it
and wanted us

to find the person who lost it,

so we translated
the inscription

and tracked you down.

- It was a gift
from a hero of mine,

Natasha Lychnikov.

the Russian ballerina.

She came to Springside the year
that I was dancing Clara,

and she was so complimentary
of my dancing.

And a few months later,
I received this.

I lost this five years ago.

I don't know how I can possibly
compensate you for this.

- No, mm-mm.

You already have.

Thank you so much.

Thank you.

* *

- I'm just realizing, if she
wanted to pay you a reward,

I shouldn't have said no.

You did the right thing.

Isn't that what
Christmas is about?

Being of service?

- Well, from what I remember,
you were the guy

that used to roll his eyes
at Christmas giving.

Well, people change.

Grow up, I guess.

And I've enjoyed spending
the last few days with you.

- Well, you are stuck with me
for four more rings.

And we have less than a week
to find their owners.

Works for me.

[light music]

* *

Hello.

Late night at the shop?

No.

I was walking through the park
and there was a string quartet

and mulled cider
being given out

by the fire company.

Mm.

Was John there?

- He was.
- Oh.

I see.

Nothing to see.

- Apparently he doesn't
have a girlfriend.

Hasn't had one for a while.

- Is that right?
[chuckles]

- Finn says
he never asks you out

because he thinks
you're married to your work,

but I told Finn that
you're selling the shop.

Audrey.

And I told him to tell John.

- And as I told your
grandmother more than once,

I am fully capable
of managing my own love life.

Mm.

If you say so.

I do.

So how goes the quest?

- Well, we found the one
with the pendant ring.

- [gasps]
Congratulations.

Thank you.

Any luck with the
fire damaged bracelet?

Yes.

I soaked it
in white wine vinegar.

Took a while, but it came out
shiny and new,

and it's locked in our safe.

Thank you, Mom.

I'll grab it tomorrow.

- Hey, can I make you
something to eat?

No, no.

Finn and I grabbed some food
in the North Loop.

- You've been to
the Twin Cities and back,

and you're still awake?

It's not that far.

No, I just feel like drawing.

I like it.

The quest is inspiring you.

I'm just fooling around.

Audrey.

That was lovely.

I don't know about that.

OK, then.

I have a confession to make.

Mm?

- I canceled my part
in the spring gallery show.

I took a job in retail.

Well, honey,

it's nothing
to be embarrassed about.

Nor, for that matter,
is working retail,

which you may recall
I've done my entire adult life.

But, that said,

I'm certainly glad
you've started drawing again.

And even if you don't think
this is worth saving,

I hope you don't mind
if I keep it.

* *

"Baylock Co."

Hmm.

* *

[phone buzzes]

Audrey?

- There is a key inside
the key ring fob.

What?

- I noticed a seam
along the edge,

and so I just started
playing with it

and it popped open
and a key fell out.

What kind of key?

- Well, it's one of
those skeleton kinds.

It's--it's old.

Thanks to you and the
magnifying glass you got me,

I also noticed
there's an inscription.

Oh, do you have a pen?

- Yeah.
- It's "Chairman F.K. SMM."

But the key also has
something on it too.

It's called Baylock Co.

Maybe it's a specific
kind of lock.

Nicely done, Watson.

Thank you, Sherlock.

- I'll look into
Baylock and Company

and what the inscription means.

And I'll see you at 9:00
tomorrow morning.

Sleep tight, Audrey.

Sleep tight, Finn.

- I guess I should hang up
the phone now.

- OK.
[laughs]

[wondrous music]

* *

[chuckles]

* *

Audrey?

- Finn?
What is it?

I got it.

It hit me
in the middle of the night.

SMM is Springside
Municipal Museum.

- That's great.
- And there's more.

I searched their website
for board of directors,

- past and present.
- Any FKs?

Frank Kennedy.

But he passed away a year ago.

Wait.

Look at this.

Obituary of Frank Kennedy.

He's survived by his son,
Frank Jr.

- So we find Frank Jr.
- Already did.

He took his dad's seat
on the board.

Chop, chop, huh?

* *

- Hi.
- Sorry, we don't open

- for another hour.
- Sorry to barge in.

My name's Finn O'Sullivan.

This is Audrey Miller.

We're looking for
Frank Kennedy Jr.

We have something of his
father's to return to him.

Oh, of course.

Well, Frank Jr. is in
a meeting with trustees.

I'm not sure how long
he's gonna be,

but if you want to wait, feel
free to grab a cup of coffee,

and I'll let you know
when he's available.

- Actually, you might be able
to help us.

We have a key that we believe
is for a lock of something

that Frank Sr. owned.

Maybe a cabinet, desk.

- Is there anybody
occupying his office now?

Yes, his son.

But Frank Sr. had very
particular office furniture,

all antiques.

As a matter of fact,
he had a very unique desk,

beautiful period piece,

and it has a few locks
on the drawers.

Can you show us that?

- We actually added it to the
Pioneer exhibit per his will.

I can take you.

Thank you.

Here you go.

It's in this room right here.

You can take a look,
and I will come back

and get you
once Frank is finished.

Thanks, Jill.

Good luck.

- Are you thinking
what I'm thinking?

- Uh-huh.

* *

- Mm.
- Mm-mm.

* *

Nope.

* *

It's a manuscript.

By Frank Kennedy.

You did it again, Audrey.

[camera clicking]

Did you read any of this?

- We might have taken a peek
while we were waiting.

- Where did your grandmother
find this?

In Springside.

- That's where my dad was
living when he passed.

My grandmother too.

The novel, it just seems like
it's really good writing.

- Well, the museum
was my dad's life.

Mine too, obviously, but

his dream was to write a novel,
and...

I had no idea
that he actually did.

How can I pay you for this?

No need.

But when you get that
thing published,

you can thank us
in the acknowledgments.

You got a deal.

* *

Thank you.

Three rings to go.

- Well, and Christmas is
getting closer every minute,

but I think I have an idea
that might speed up our search.

- So Frank's got this novel
that his dad wrote

that he didn't even know
existed.

- What an extraordinary
and moving story.

I know.

I just wish I could share it
with more people.

Can we post about it on the
shop's social media page?

Of course.

- And maybe the photos
of the rest of the rings

and just ask
if he recognizes them?

I assume this is your idea?

- This idea was completely
your daughter's.

Mm?

What do you say, Mom?

Well, I don't see why not.

You'll want the bracelet.

[clears throat]

[upbeat music]

* *

Ta-da.

Wow.

Thank you, Mom.

- You know, I had a christening
bracelet like this growing up.

Now the inscription is clear.

- Siobhan.
- Yeah.

You see that?

- That's a shield
with three shells.

- I'm pretty sure
it's a saint symbol.

Forget which one.

Saint James.

Smart woman.

I looked it up.

There's a Saint James Church
in Springside

that burned to the ground
38 years ago.

It's on the edge
of Mayor's Park.

- That's one of the places
Grandma searched for the rings.

- And you know
who would be able to tell us

about that fire?

Oh.

- Uncle John.
- Mm.

Want to join us tomorrow, Mom?

* *

Kay

and Audrey.

I'm here too, Uncle John.

Yeah, saw you.

Uh, could you give me a minute?

Feel free to join in
while you wait.

- Ever built a
gingerbread house?

Have you met my mother?

Hey, now.

Want to build some more?

Is that a challenge?

[lively music]

* *

[sighs]

* *

What?

She's a professional artist.

Hey, sorry, guys.

Uh, what brings you here today?

Sure, I remember
the Saint James Church fire.

It was my first month
on the job.

Beautiful church.

19th century building.

All wood.

Tinderbox.

Went up like that.

- Was there anything
salvaged from it?

- I think the only thing
we managed to recover

were the collection plates
and the cross.

Metal.

Right.

Now, something like that
could have been in the fire.

Just too small to find.

- So no records were found,
no books?

No.

I do remember the name
of the priest, though,

- if that helps.
- It does.

- The only guy I ever met
named Lodowick.

- Father Lodowick.
- Lodowick?

Lodowick.

Thanks, Uncle John.

No worries.

Now,
will I be seeing you ladies

at Springside by Candlelight
this evening?

Planning on it.

Great.

It's always a wonderful night.

Excuse me.

I got to get back.

Excuse me.

* *

- Do you know how Springside
by Candlelight got started?

To draw tourists to town?

- That's a good guess,
but no, mm-mm.

There was this big storm,
and it was like 1949

on Christmas Eve,

and the whole town lost power.

And so the highway
superintendent

gets this inspiration,
to load his car with hundreds

of candles, and he delivered
them to the whole neighborhood

so that they could have light
in their homes and businesses.

So the townspeople gather
with their lit candles,

walk to
the superintendent's house,

and they sing
"We Wish You a Merry Christmas"

as a thank you.

And so now people today walk
with their candles on this date

and they wish people
Merry Christmas.

Hmm.

And how do you know this story?

- The highway superintendent's
my great grandfather.

* *

Of course he was.

So I guess being creative
and thoughtful

goes back in your family
many generations.

I guess so.

Yeah.

Hey, I found our man.

Father Lodowick Carlyle.

Catholic priest.

Looks like he retired in 2005,

but he's residing at
the O'Byrne Residence

for Retired Clergy
in Saint Cloud.

- Well,
that's over an hour away.

We could just call him.

- My experience with a guy this
age, in person would be better.

* *

What a wonderful story.

I-I can't tell you how
gratifying it is

for an old man like me

to meet two young people

who so embody
the essence of Christmas.

It is, after all, a celebration
of our capacity to give,

and to give with love.

Your grandmother
seems to have embraced

that spirit year round.

Yes, she did.

Father, um,
the Saint James fire--

Oh, yes, yes, of course.

That was a dark day.

But faith sees best
in the dark.

- The bracelet has the symbol
of Saint James on it.

Is there any chance
it was in the fire?

As a matter of fact, it was.

But not because of our church,
but because little Siobhan

was named
after her grandmother,

whose patron saint was James.

- Wait,
you remember this Siobhan?

- I'd like to tell you
I remember

the name of every baptism,
wedding,

and funeral I ever conducted,

but that would make me a liar.

Still, I--I could
never forget name

of the family
that was at my church

the day
it burned to the ground.

It wasn't until
after we fled the fire

that we realized
that the bracelet was lost.

- Do you remember
their last name?

Flaherty.

But--but her married name,
Siobhan's married name,

i-is Thomas.

I performed the wedding.

I still get Christmas cards
from them every year.

- You wouldn't happen to have
one of those cards, would you?

We'd love to find
the return address.

[chuckles]

* *

Hi.

- That is a dog
in a reindeer costume.

Hi. Is Siobhan Thomas home?

They went skiing.

I'm the dog sitter.

This is Rudolph.

- Is your nose
gonna light up?

- We have something we think
might belong to Siobhan Thomas.

Do you know
when she might be back?

Some time before Christmas.

Oh.

Well, I'm gonna
give you my card.

Do you mind passing that along?

Yeah.

Private investigator?

Cool.

- Thanks for passing on
the message.

No problem.

He reminded me of my ex.

Rudolph?

No, the dog sitter.

Speaking of exes,

you never told me about yours.

* *

Finn.

What?

No, that's his name.

Finn.

Seriously?

No, I'm lying.

No, I called him Finn 2.

To his face?

No, to my mom's.

Wait, so I'm Finn 1?

It's chronological.

- Mm-hmm.
- Mm.

- Hmm.
- So what's next?

- Well, I promised
I'd help Uncle John set up

for Springside by Candlelight,
and I think you said

you were helping your mom
at the shop.

No, I am.

It's just,
we are losing precious time.

- Or we're spending precious
time with people that we love.

[light music]

- I don't remember
you being so wise.

Comes with age.

- My grandma used to--
- Used to say that.

She said it to me too.

* *

- Finn, what if Siobhan
doesn't come back by Christmas?

- Don't think about
that right now.

You just got to have faith.

[upbeat holiday music]

* *

- Our family's been
collecting them for years,

so this is probably
the only one we have

right now in the cherrywood.

Nice detail.

It's probably one of my
favorite items in the store.

But we also have a few others
down that are not--

- I will be right back.
- OK.

Think about this one, though.

- It's my personal favorite.
- Sure.

Lady Sinterklaas, I presume?

Merry Christmas, sir.

Anything I can help you find?

- The owner of three gold rings
would be nice.

- Mm.
So what brings you here?

New lead?

No.

And you forgot.

Springside by Candlelight.

Oh, my gosh.

That's tonight.
How did I forget?

- Yeah, well,
you were in your element.

Any chance I could steal you
for a quick stroll?

- Well, fortunately,
I have a pretty

- solid relationship with boss.
- Oh, really?

- Mm-hmm.
I think I could swing it.

Hmm.

Shall we?

[laughs]

* *

- If they don't do this in
Manhattan, what do they do?

- Oh, well, they light up
the whole Empire State Building

green, red, and white.

- Christmas colors
like Christmas lasagna.

- Exactly like
Christmas lasagna.

- Well, if you ask me,
a colorful skyscraper

sounds nice,
but it doesn't hold a candle

to Springside by Candlelight.

- Pun intended.
- Totally.

[chuckles]

Oh.

So I'm kind of getting back
to my art.

- Well, Finn 1 has always
been a fan of your art.

Finn 2 liked my art.

He just didn't like
that I liked it more than him.

Hey, speaking of exes,
you never answered

my question the other day.

What question?

- Why did you break up
with your last girlfriend?

You just said it
was a long story.

- Actually, it's not really
that long of a story.

Four months ago,
I just felt like

it was time for us to break up.

- My grandmother's funeral
was four months ago.

Yeah.

Yeah, it was.

- Finn, did you--

- Oh!
- Oh!

I slipped on the ice.

Uh, Audrey.

So your mom was
looking for you.

She's up to her eyeballs
in customers.

What are you two doing exactly?

- We slipped. I-I slipped.

Bad choice.
Yeah.

- Sure.
- Mm-hmm.

* *

I better run.

Yeah, you better.

Um, uh--

* *

Did you lose something?

No.

I might have found something.

* *

What are you working on now?

- I don't know, just--

just a sketch.

- Well, at least you're not
throwing it away.

Thank you again for your help
in the shop last night, Audrey.

I would have been lost
without you.

No worries.

Finn said I was in my element
selling antiques.

- Ah, well,
Finn hasn't seen you

at one of your gallery shows.

That's your element.

- Maybe I have
more than one element.

- Well, of course you're good
at retail, Audrey.

You grew up in it.

- Yeah,
but I think Finn noticed,

I'm not just good at it.

It's--

I have fun doing it.

- Well, your grandmother always
said you were a gifted curator.

I'm sure they appreciate you
at your retail job in New York.

- Well, they've
actually offered me

the assistant manager spot.

Of course they have.

But now that
you're drawing again,

I expect that you'll get
your career back on track

and you'll be able to leave the
retail world behind once again.

[light music]

[phone rings]

Hello?

Oh, hello, Diana.

Yes, yes.

We're both very excited
about the gala tonight.

I thought you weren't on
social media.

Well, yes, I'm sure
she'll want to talk to you.

I'll send her right down.

Well,

Diana Trank has told me
more than once with great pride

how she has no time
for social media nonsense,

but clearly
she's not only on it,

but follows the shop's account.

- Why would she
admit that to you?

- Because she thinks
she might have sold the brooch

in the photo that we posted.

The ring-shaped one
that Grandma found.

I have to call Finn.

* *

- This is such
a gorgeous piece.

I'm sure your son and his wife
will love it.

Thank you for shopping
at Emporium of Treasures.

Merry Christmas.

Bye, bye.

Audrey, welcome.

Diana.

Oh, this is Finn O'Sullivan.

Hi.

O'Sullivan.

Now, why do I know that name?

My mom is Colleen O'Sullivan.

She actually entered a piece
for your charity.

Yes, of course.

Oh, how I wish you had
entered a piece, Audrey.

Thank you, Diana.

Perhaps for the charity
of it all.

But you need to
take a good look

at Colleen O'Sullivan's piece.

It's stunning.

Really?

Well, I'll keep that in mind.

- So, Diana,
my mom had said that--

Right.

I think I may have sold
your mystery brooch.

I wasn't going to say anything
at first,

because the piece I sold
had two interlocking rings,

whereas yours--

do you have the piece?

- Mm-hmm.

Ah.

Just the one ring.

But I think I sold the piece
you're looking for.

I've been going through
my old records

from my pre-computer days,

and I think I found it.

Let's see.

Ah.

Interlocking rings brooch
sold December 3rd, 2004,

to Edgar Diaz.

No phone number, though,
I'm afraid.

Thank you, Diana.

That's very helpful.

- Thank you.
- Happy to help.

Diana's a piece of work, huh?

No arguments here.

- How I wished you'd
entered a piece, Audrey.

Did you know that I entered
the Christmas Giving Gala

three times when I lived here,

and Diana had already become
a lead judge by then?

Guess how many times I won.

I'm gonna guess none.

Ding, ding, ding.

We have a winner.

- Well,
she clearly respects you now.

- Well, having gallery shows
in Manhattan

can do that for snobs like her.

- Hence the reason
she's kissing up to us.

- Yeah, I probably have
to leave her hanging

for a little while.

It's kind of fun.

I like this plan.

- OK, back to
the important stuff.

Should we run a record search
on Edgar Diaz?

No need.

I know Edgar.

Well, knew him.

He owned the garden center
over on the East Side.

They hired me
when they had a few break ins.

What do you mean knew him?

Edgar passed away last year.

But I'm pretty sure
his son-in-law

took over the family business.

They have a pop-up Christmas
tree lot over on Main Street.

I'm pretty sure we could
ask him if the brooch

belonged to Edgar.

Great.

OK, let's go.

* *

I think that's him.

* *

Merry Christmas, guys.

Merry Christmas.

Can I help you guys?

- Actually,
I was wondering,

are you Edgar Diaz's
son-in-law?

I am, yeah.

I'm Finn O'Sullivan.

I did some work for Edgar
a couple years back.

- Yeah, yeah.
The private detective.

You caught the guy
who was breaking

into the garden center.

I did, I did.

This is Audrey Miller.

Great to meet you, Audrey.

Joe Del Pietro.

Hey, Finn, pick whatever
tree you two want--

- Oh, I appreciate that,
Joe, but--

- No, we actually have an item
that we think

might have belonged
to your late father-in-law.

- Oh, really?
Something from the break-in?

- No, no, it's something
my grandmother found.

* *

I don't believe it.

So you recognize it?

Where did you get this?

- I think she found it
in Thompson's Park.

That's right.

Two interlocking rings.

Edgar took them apart,
gave one to Rosa

and told me he was gonna hide
the other one in Thompson Park,

and that if I wanted to
marry his daughter,

I'd need to find it.

- So you got married
without finding it?

- Well, the day after
Edgar hid the ring,

there was a huge snowstorm,
four feet,

then ice a couple days later.

I tried for three weeks,
sliding on ice,

digging through ice,
looking for this ring.

Finally, Rosa just told me
that we loved each other

and we'd prove it to her dad.

So we eloped.

- And how did Edgar feel
about that?

- [chuckles]
He was delighted.

Yeah, he cooked up
the whole ring hunt

in hopes that we would elope.

Save him on paying
for a big wedding.

The joke was on him, though.

Rosa's mom still made him
throw us a reception.

It'll be our 20th anniversary
on Christmas.

You eloped on Christmas Day?

- Best gift
my wife ever gave me.

All right,

let's spruce this place up.

- I thought it was
pretty sprucey.

How's it look?

Mm, it's untrimmed.

You have any ornaments?

No, actually.

Seriously?

- Yeah, I've never had
my own tree.

I always just go to my mom's.

Why did you take this?

- Joe wanted to
give me the tree so badly,

- I couldn't say no.
- Mm.

You have any art supplies?

Um...

I have office supplies.

Hmm.

That'll do.

[upbeat Christmas music]

* *

- * Reminiscing,
lights are twinkling *

* And I've been thinking
about you *

* And all the joy you bring *

* I don't need gifts
under the tree *

* That's not what
matters to me *

* Santa, give me this *

* There's only one thing
that's on my wish list *

* And I'm not worried
about the cold *

* If I got someone to hold *

* *

- Is there anything
you can't do?

There's plenty.

I can make art.

- And effortlessly
decorate trees

and gingerbread houses
and snowmen,

all while focusing
on this quest.

Oh, speaking of which.

* *

Only two rings left to go.

There's no word from Siobhan.

Can I ask you a question

you're probably not gonna like?

Mm.

OK.

- What happens if we don't
finish the quest by Christmas?

- It's not like we're gonna
get hit by lightning

if we fail.

It's just...

I'll know that
I let my grandmother down.

No, of course.

I'm sorry.

I just don't want
to let you down.

Thank you, Finn.

Maybe we should just run
by Siobhan's,

I mean, see if they're back
from the ski trip.

- Or we could move on
to the ring with stones.

- Uh-uh.

Save the best for last,
remember?

- Does that mean we can't at
least take a look at the best?

I guess.

* *

Hmm.

What?

Well, typically with rings,

the jeweler leaves
a maker's mark.

A--a stamp,

sort of like a signature.

Proof that they made it.

- I'm not seeing anything
like that.

Exactly.

[phone buzzes]

Oh, hold on.

Finn O'Sullivan.

Hi, Siobhan.

Yeah. Yeah, we did.

Um, we think
we might have something

that belonged to you
from a long time ago.

Yeah.

Yeah, well,
we'll come by right now.

Now we're talking.

OK, let's go.

* *

- This was my
grandmother's bracelet.

She'd gotten it
at her christening in Cork,

Brought it over
when she immigrated,

so it was devastating
when we lost it in the fire.

So the fire chief led you
to see Father Lodowick?

That's right.

And how is Father Lodowick?

- Oh, he has got this
little twinkle in his eyes.

I bet.

Ugh, I should go visit him.

But thank you both so much.

I can't believe all you
went through to find me.

Oh, no, it was our pleasure.

Well, returning all the rings
has been really special.

Wait, there are other rings?

- Yeah, my grandmother
found five gold rings.

- Like in
"The 12 Days of Christmas"?

- Exactly, but she found
all of them on one day.

- Oh, can you please
thank her for me?

- She passed away
a few months ago, but--

- I'm so sorry.
- No, it's OK.

Thank you.

- Yeah, the--

when my grandma Siobhan
passed at Christmas that year,

it was--it was tough.

Yeah, I'm sure.

You know, I was expecting that
to be for me, but, um,

you know, my grandmother
just left me these rings

and then asked me
to go on this quest and,

you know,
find these rings owners.

How many have you found?

Well, you are number four.

Well, that's wonderful.

Only one to go.

- Yeah, well, we're running
out of time, but--

Mom?

Mom?

I just realized something.

What?

What connects the rings?

- Other than being
gold and round?

Yes.

Elizabeth's nutcracker pendant
came from her adoring idol,

Frank's key was to
his labor of love, his novel,

Joe and Rosa's brooch
was to prove their love,

and Siobhan's christening
bracelet was inherited

from her beloved grandmother.

The rings are connected
by love.

True.

- So what if love is the key
to figuring out this ring?

Like, what if this ring
was also given out of love?

- Audrey, with all due respect,
Molly was a wise woman,

but there's no way
she could have known

the motivation of these rings.

No, I realize that.

I mean, most pieces of jewelry
are given out of love.

But my point is,
what if this was too?

What if this was
an engagement ring?

- Don't engagement rings
have diamonds?

Not always.

Hmm.

I'm not sure how this helps us.

- We could look up
engagement listings

in the "Springside Tribune"
online.

A lot of those brides-to-be
will pose

with their ring featured.

- That's actually
a great idea, Watson.

Thank you, Sherlock.

- I think I might have
asked you this.

Is there anything you can't do?

[phone buzzes]

Hang on.

Oh. Hey, Mom.

What's up?

Oh, that's why you're not home.

Yeah, no.

On my way.

What's up?

The Christmas Giving Gala.

Only just started.

- Finn, do you know how long
it takes for a girl

to get ready for a party?

- Right,
I'll just go keep our moms--

- yeah.
- Thank you.

Yeah. See you later.

[jazzy music playing]

* *

- * A bright winter's day,
but they say *

* We'll have snow by evening *

* A chill in the air *

Hi.

* Oh, no *

* *

* I'm coming your way *

* If you stay, we can share--*

Wow.

You look--

* *

You're a work of art.

- * My favorite time
of the year is here *

- What did your uncle say
to my mom to get her to dance?

* *

No idea.

What do I have to say
to get you to dance?

* *

You've said enough already.

* So take my hand *

* And we'll share
this magic night *

* Of Christmas love *

- * And
as I go through the motions *

* The memories rush in *

* *

* They're ordinary *

* *

Finn?

Audrey.

* *

I was just thinking.

About?

The final ring.

Oh.

What about it?

- Tomorrow's--
- Christmas Eve.

I know.

- People are gonna be doing
their last-minute shopping

and driving to family.

As they do.

- Are we crazy enough to think
that not only are we going

to find the ring's owner,

but we're gonna return it
to them on one of the most

hectic days of the year?

Yeah, that is pretty crazy.

But how is that any different

from everything else
we've done together?

[mic feedback]

Ladies and gentlemen,

thank you all for coming
to the 25th annual

Christmas Giving Gala.

[applause]

I'm Diana Trank,
gala chair,

and thank you all
for your generous donations

to this year's
grand prize award.

We had many wonderful entries
in the art contest this year,

and just like every other year,

the winner will receive
the grand prize amount

for the local charity
of their choice.

The runners up will have
their pieces auctioned off,

and those proceeds will go
to the Springside Food Bank,

as they do every year.

Now, we also had
one beautiful piece donated

by a well-known New York artist

and Springside's own
Audrey Miller.

[applause]

And that piece garnered
a very generous bid

from the Waldore family,

so thank you, Audrey.

[applause]

Now time for the grand prize.

On behalf of the museum,

we are delighted to announce
this year's winner,

first time entrant
Colleen O'Sullivan,

for her piece, "My Heart."

[applause]

* *

Oh, congratulations.

Mwah, mwah.

Thank you.

I didn't do anything.

Yeah, but you did.

You know you did.

Audrey, thank you.

It's just really wonderful.

I saw on the social media

that you reunited the brooch
with its owner.

I sold that piece 20 years ago
for $1,000.

It would have been worth
at least 10 times that today.

- Well, my grandmother didn't
do what she did for the money.

- And you're all right
with this?

- I've already been paid
for my services, thanks.

$10,000?

I doubt that.

She's a piece of work.

She is.

I'm just realizing,

I have never asked
what your rate is.

- And I already told you,
I don't need to be paid.

- Come on.
- Audrey, stop.

We're going to do this.

- What is your day rate?
- Audrey, stop.

- I can look it up
on your website.

Audrey.

Audrey, I've been paid already.

- But what are
you talking about?

Molly paid me.

What?

How?

- Five months ago
when she was in the hospital.

- So you knew about the rings
the whole time?

Well, not about the rings.

Just that you were gonna
ask me for help.

But why wouldn't you tell me?

- I couldn't. I just--

I was just pretending
that I didn't know

you were gonna ask me
to do this with you.

- Pretending?
No.

That's a lie.
There's a difference.

I was just pretending.

It's different.

Not to me it isn't.

I'm sorry, I don't understand
the purpose of any of this.

You should have told me.

She was my grandmother.

- I know, and I just--

I couldn't. I--

I want to leave.

No, don't.

No, I do want to leave.

Bye, Finn.
No.

Audrey.

* *

* All is calm *

* All is bright *

Good morning.

Morning.

* Round yon virgin *

* Mother and child *

When did you do this?

Last night.

What do you think?

Well,

I think you might
want to call New York

and let them know you're ready
for that spring gallery show

after all.

What happened that suddenly
you're painting again?

I don't know.

- What's the--the hand?

It's the missing fifth owner.

Remind me, the fifth ring is?

Oh, it's, uh, this one.

Ah.

- There's no maker's mark
on it.

It's odd.

It's a lovely design, though,

the way the jeweler
set the stones.

What did you say?

- Just that it's
a lovely design.

No, no, the other part.

The setting of the stones?

Mom. Yes.

Wait, hang on. The stones.

* *

In Grandma's letter, she said--

here.
"We hit up the beach,

"then Thompson's Park,
and the woods by Mayor's Park.

I left no stone unturned."

Well, she was thorough.

She didn't turn stones.

- I think she was just
using a metaphor.

Mom, Grandma hated clichés.

I think she wants us
to turn these stones.

I suppose that's possible.

You should tell Finn.

What?

Last night?

- Finn told me that
Grandma hired him

to do this job before she died.

And he said he didn't know
about the rings,

but that he pretended

to not know
that I was gonna hire him

to do this job that he's
already been paid for.

Ah.

So that's what happened
that you're painting again.

What's that supposed to mean?

Audrey,

obviously, this quest
you've been doing together

and your feelings for Finn

woke up your passion.

No. He kept a secret from me.

- Can you imagine why
he might have done that?

No, I can't, actually.

- Well, you've been running
all over Minnesota

trying to honor
your grandmother's wishes.

Did you ask him if maybe
he's trying to honor her wish

by not telling you?

* *

- [knocking on door]
- Hello?

Kay?

* *

Hello, Finn.

- Can I talk to her?
[door shuts]

* *

Thanks.

* *

Audrey.

Did my grandmother tell you

not to tell me
that she'd hired you?

Why?

My business was failing,

and Molly bailed me out.

She wanted you to think
I was doing all of this

out of the spirit
of generosity.

Which, for the record,
I absolutely would have done.

- Why would she care
what I thought of her motive?

- She said she wanted you
to think as highly of me

as she did.

Finn,

I think really highly of you.

Not right now.

* *

- I appreciate you respecting
my grandmother's wishes

by not telling me about

her secret deal with you.

Except I did just tell you.

Why did you?

- 'Cause I don't want
to keep things from you.

I've done that in the past.

I don't want to do it with you.

OK.

OK like we're OK?

OK.

OK, so about the quest.

- So what if the
jeweler's stamp is hidden

under the stone on the ring?

What do you mean?

- Well, hey, Mom,
will you come back in?

So my grandmother's
letter said,

"I left no stone unturned,"
but she--

- She didn't turn
over the stones.

Exactly.

I think it's a hint that we
have to turn over these stones.

- You think she hid
something under there?

- Exactly the kind of thing
she would do.

What if we just take this down
to Charlie's jewelry shop

and he can look under it and
see if there's a maker's mark?

- No, Charlie's closed today,
remember?

He's gonna play Santa up at
Bear Lake Community Center.

- I know one of the jewelers
at the emporium.

Should we go see them?

Let's go.

* *

By golly, you're right.

There's the mark right there.

That's Charlie Flannery's
stamp.

- Charlie?
- Charlie?

- Yeah.
I take it you know him?

- A-are you sure?

Oh, I know Charlie's mark.

- We have to get to Bear Lake
Community Center.

* *

Ho, ho, ho, ho!

Merry Christmas.

Merry Christmas, Lola.

Let's look at the camera.

[chuckles]

Merry Christmas, girls.

- Should we get in line?
Who's next?

- Well, we're not gonna
cut in front of kids.

- Here's our photo.
- Can we?

* *

Merry Christmas.

There we go.

Ho, ho, ho! Who's next?

Come on up.

* *

[chuckles]

Oh, Merry Christmas, Noel.

Ho, ho, ho.

Ho, ho, ho, ho.

Hello, Audrey.

Hello, Finn.

All out of presents.

Mm. We brought you one.

Ah.

- Who did you make this for,
Charlie?

- Well,
I imagine if you're here,

you've already figured out
the answer to that.

- Grandma only found
four rings,

and she commissioned you
to make the fifth.

* *

This one.

Five gold rings.

It flows better.

Molly told me all about the
quest she was sending you on,

and how she hired you
to help Audrey.

Nice job.

And the fifth owner is?

Me.

Grandma.

Thank you, Charlie,
for helping her.

And me.

My pleasure.

Merry Christmas.

Yeah.

Five rings before Christmas.

* *

You did it, Audrey.

We did it, Finn.

* *

And the last ring
she had made for me.

Oh, it's beautiful.

What a story.

What a lady Molly was.

To Molly Miller.

- To Molly.
- To Molly Miller.

To Lady Sinterklaas.

[chuckling]

It's an inside joke.

* *

- All right, who's ready
for some homemade apple pie

and a movie?

That sounds wonderful.

- Kay, a fellow could sure
get used to this.

Is that so?

Well, then,
how's dinner next Friday night,

just the two of us?

Are you serious?

Don't I look serious?

- I'll be here.
- OK.

- Finn, want to help me
with the pie?

Yeah.

- Why don't you
take everybody downstairs,

- and get the movie ready?
- OK.

OK.

- Oh, would you get me
a pie knife in that drawer?

Sure.

* *

Audrey, there's a gift in here.

Really?

Who for?

* *

I'm speechless.

You like it?

- Like is not the word
I'd use to describe it.

Thank you.

* *

- Merry Christmas.
- Merry Christmas.

So, uh,

listen, I have some news.

- Did Molly leave you
another challenge

that needs to be finished
by New Year's?

No, that's not my news.

My news is

I've decided to move back
to Springside

from wherever it is I live.

Manhattan.

That's the one.

- Yeah, my mom and I are
gonna expand the business.

Miller Timeless Antiques

and Fine Art.

I'm still out of words.

When did you decide this?

Well, it's been building.

But when we finished the quest,

I realized my grandma
had brought me back

to what really matters.

It's my art.
It's my home.

It's--

Yeah, it's you.
