All language subtitles for Twelve.Dates.Til.Christmas.S01E05.1080p.WEB.h264-EDITH_track3_[eng]

Please, God, no.

I am Delilah. Mac's ex-wife.

Is it weird dating other people?

I need to do all 12
for the article.

Tell Callum,
Date Nine should be here.

That's a really good idea.
Then you could be my date.

-Wait, your date?
-KATE: I'm to bring a friend.

You canceled New Year's.
Christmas felt... empty.

KATE: You're a great friend
and kisser.

You're the whole package.

Great kisser?

-I love you.
-I love this song, too.

-I knew you heard me.
-I had to laugh it off.

When I kiss you,
it's not a joke.

[Sentimental festive rock song]

DELILAH: Hello, darling.

Mom? Are you... following me?

If I was following you,
you wouldn't know.

I dated a spy.
For quite a while, actually.

He taught me all sorts
of covert maneuvers.

So, what's up?

Well, you know how you said

we would spend
some time together?

So, I thought we could
make good use of your commute

but no pressure.

Ughhhh...

-[Sentimental song continues]
-What?

-Mmm.
-What?

Your chakras are way off, dear.

Clearly, you've got
something on your mind.

But I-- but I won't pester you.
I'll just sit here quietly.

I'll-- I'll-- um,
I'll just give you space.

♪ A very merry Christmas

♪ With laughter and some cheer

-♪ I hope you have a good one...
- [Typing]: We need to talk.

♪ And a happier new year

♪ A very merry Christmas

- [He exhales deeply]
-♪ With laughter and no tears...

-♪ I hope you have a good one...
-[Keys tap]

♪ And a better one next year...

Callum.

Oliver?

♪ I wish for every soul

♪ To feel like a child

♪ Full of warmth... ♪

[Song ends; people chat]

You need to get this off
your chest, before it digs in.

-OK, OK.
-[Excited]: Oooh!

I will tell you if you promise
not to tell anyone.

-I'm serious.
-Secret lover or dead body?

I have a contingency plan
for both.

Actually, they're the same plan,
but no, I promise.

Go.

Callum kissed me.

-[Intriguing, emotional music]
-Oh, I love that.

And I've been waiting for him
to explain for two days,

and still nothing.

And... this happened
once before.

-Mhm.
-Yeah, in uni.

I think we just were both afraid
it would ruin the friendship,

and so we pretended
it was a joke.

I mean, of course
I've thought about it.

You know, it's-- it's Callum.
He's-- he's the best.

But... [Sighs]
why now?

And why can't I figure out
how I feel about it?

And why are we
avoiding each other?

You have Richard,
who's great, and he's, you know,

emotionally available,
a clean slate.

And, of course, this is
bringing up all of my issues.

Fear of abandonment, commitment
issues and-- No offense.

I just don't know why
it's so hard. I mean...

What is this, fourth grade?

So... anyway, the point is,

my chakras are the least
of my problems right now.

Darling, it's all connected.

-[Soft determined music]
-I needed to come down.

Clear the air
after Dates with Mates.

It's not necessary.
We are all good.

I just love Sarah so much.
And when it's meant to be...

[Sighs]: Understood, mate.
Cheers.

You have every right
to be furious with me.

And having been where you are,
I know how bad it can feel.

-Really, it's fine.
-If you want to punch me...

go ahead.

-I know I deserve it.
-[Music ends]

[Birds chirp]

Why, because you told the truth?

If it makes people
uncomfortable,

it doesn't mean
you shouldn't say it.

Some people, when they
hear the truth, they...

deny it.

Or they accuse you of lying.

So you end up tossing and
turning for two days straight,

wondering why
doing what felt right could

-make everything go so wrong.
-[Hopeful music]

I mean,
I finally had the courage

to lay it all out there,
and it completely backfired.

Well, thank you
for just listening

and not being judgmental.

You're being very calm
about all this.

Oh, honey, that's just
the Botox. [Chuckles]

[Exhales deeply]

I feel like I'm gonna
regret asking this, but...

what do you think I should do?

You need to get
into the same room with Callum

and see if the spark
that has been ignited,

or, in your case,
reignited, flares.

I shouldn't have to be
the one to reach out.

That's fine, Kate.

But don't back away
from the mess, darling.

Some of the best
treasures of my life,

I found in the mess.

[Phone buzzes]

It's Richard.

When I find myself

on the horns
of a two-man dilemma,

which happens more often
than you might think, my dear...

-Mother...
-Alright.

Find yourself a third man.

There is nothing
like another option

to put the entire
situation into focus.

-Trust me. [Chuckles softly]
-[Whimsical yet tender music]

I'm sorry you're
going through all of that,

but just so
we're on the same page,

you're not talking
about Sarah now?

-No.
-[Chuckles relieved]: OK...

Brilliant. And what did she say,

whoever this is,
who isn't Sarah?

I don't know. I walked away.

OK.

And you walked away because...?

To make a point.

It's her move now.

I don't know, mate.

I don't know if dropping a truth
bomb and then running for cover

is the best way to go.
I learnt the hard way.

Tell her exactly how you feel.
Otherwise you might never know.

[Music ends; birds chirp]

I came here preparing
for you to punch me, but...

really, I think you need a hug.

[Soft music]

And this one was worn
by one of the Spice Girls

but I can't remember which one.

I once partied in Dubai
with one of the Spice Girls.

I can't remember
which one, either!

[Both laugh loudly]

-NICOLA: Of course we have...
-Say no more. This is iconic.

I remember the spread in Vogue .
It was beautiful.

Thank you. It's gratifying
to have one's vision come alive.

And to contribute
a thing of beauty to the world,

if I may say so.

One of the first female
designers in Savile Row.

My daughter brags
about you all the time.

And this pattern, it's stunning!

It's Kate's, yes?

Indeed, it's, uh...

we have a great partnership.

Oh, well, thank you
for letting me poke around.

I always wanted to see my baby
in her element. And oh!

Oooh, the shops on Bond Street
are calling my name.

-Oh!
-See you at the house.

-Ta, ta!
-Ta, ta. [Chuckles softly]

Your mother is quite, uh,...

a lot.

I like her.

[Gentle festive music]

-Hey.
-[Music ends]

Oh, what happened
with the floral?

We still have it.

And it's kind of my favorite
right now.

I... I don't know,
it's elegant and romantic

and... it kinda goes
with everything.

Yes, this one is inconsistent,
unsure of itself.

Yeah, I know.

I'm still trying
to figure it out.

Been trying for 15 years,
to be honest.

Good grief!
Give up the ghost, darling.

Life is short, move on!

I know, but I think
it's special, you know?

What if it's the one?

You know, what if it's
the pattern I've been comparing

all the other patterns to?

Eventually you'll have to
pick one and try it on for size.

What if I can't pick?

[Knock on door]

This just arrived for Kate.

[Intriguing music]

[Exhales deeply]

[Festive hopeful music]

[Music turns confused]

Is that a hat?

Who did you offend?

[Sighs]: Christmas cupid,
apparently.

-[Hopeful music]
-Where on earth are you going?

To find a third option.

-There you go.
-Thank you.

BARISTA: Evelyn!
We're out of oat milk.

-Oh, hi.
-Ah.

Didn't expect to see you here.

Or there.
That side of the counter.

The boy needed
some extra hands, so...

-Well, lovely surprise.
-[Jazzy Christmas music]

-Coffee?
-Please. Uh, takeaway.

Wow. Looks like
you've been friendzoned.

Yikes.

Surprising you need a coat,

all that hot air coming
out of your mouth.

Oh, you can deny it all you want
but I can see the vibes.

They've gone from
"will they/won't they"

to "never gonna happen".

[Tense yet gentle music]

[Whimsical music]

-Enjoy.
-Thanks.

-[Emotional music]
-Ha-- have a good day.

Oh!

[Jazzy tune resumes]

Do you have any kombucha?

[Festive bells]

[Another jazzy festive tune]

Ooh, committed
to the theme. Wonderful!

[Chuckles happily]:
'Tis the season.

Ah, I see you received my gift.

-Don't pretend not to love this.
-When have I ever pretended?

And I think you're going
to love this one, too.

Let me introduce you
to your match.

-Kate, this is Charlie.
-Hi.

-DREW: Charlie, this is Kate.
-Hey.

And you two have
something in common.

Besides the humiliating
holiday hats?

Well, for one,
you're both American.

And two,
you both work in textiles.

I'm a conservationist
at the Winterhorne Museum.

Oh, I love the Winterhorne.

I just saw their exhibit

on King Henry VIII's
wedding cloaks.

-That was mine.
-[Gasps]: No way!

Wait, you've actually touched
King Henry's stockings?

Yes, his Venetians.
And with this very hand.

-Gloved, of course.
-I mean, of course.

So the idea is that
you both walk around,

get to know each other, and then
you choose the perfect gift.

I'll leave you to it.
You're off to a good start. Mmm?

-Shall we?
-Sure.

So, tell me about
King Henry's hosiery.

I will share all
the gruesome details.

-But first, what do you do?
-Oh, I'm a textile designer.

At Nicola by Nicola
on Savile Row.

Wow! Her reputation
precedes her.

-[Chuckles]
-What's she really like?

Yeah, she's... she can be tough
but she's brilliant, obviously.

And she secretly
has a really big heart.

And you? Is, uh,
fashion your passion?

[Laughs] Uh, to be honest,
my passion has been sort of

straying away
from just fashion lately.

And towards?

You really wanna hear all this?

-Yeah, absolutely.
-[Upbeat festive music]

OK.

[People chat and laugh]

CHARLIE: I hope they have
eggnog. I love eggnog.

KATE: I thought
I was the only one.

So where are you from?

-Chicago.
-Oh, I love it there.

I lived in Lincoln Park
for a while.

Um, amazing pizza.

Oh, deep dish is the way to go.

I can't find a good slice
here to save my life.

KATE: I know a place.
Not deep dish, but--

-Kate!
-Marjorie, you look hilarious.

So do you!

Oh, Charlie, this is Marjorie.
Marjorie, Charlie.

Or have you guys already dated
or matched or...?

I haven't had the pleasure.

Nice to meet you.

I'm gonna check out that booth
with the reindeer superheroes.

-I'll be right back.
-OK.

American, huh?

You can talk about baseball
and hamburgers and J.Lo.

-That's all we talk about?
-Obviously.

[Laughs] The joke is on you.
We were talking about pizza.

-Yeah. So there.
-[Both chuckle]

And where's your date?

Uh, he's around here somewhere.

And, Kate, he is handsome
and nice and funny,

and, dare I say it,
I am filled with hope.

[Excited chuckle]

Here he comes.

[Romantic music]

-Richard! Hi.
-[Uncomfortable music]

-Hi.
-Oh, you two have met?

We were matched
for date number one.

CHARLIE: Alright, I caved.

Spider-Man Rudolph will look
excellent on my mantelpiece.

I love a good reluctant hero.

-[Richard clears throat]
-Oh, th-- this is Richard.

This is Charlie.
Charlie, Richard.

MARJORIE: Charlie,

I need a second opinion

before I go all in
on my date's gift.

Would you mind?

Sure.

Be right back.

[Music ends]

Well, that was awkward.

Gonna pretend we don't
know each other?

This was bound to happen.
We're dating 11 other people.

I know, but it's still weird
seeing you with somebody else.

-Isn't it kind of weird for you?
-Yeah.

It's a bit cute.

What's cute?

I feel like you might be
just a teensy bit jealous.

Oh, I feel like you might be
just a teensy bit presumptuous.

[Playful music]

I'm a little jealous
of Captain America.

His name is Charlie.

Fine. Charlie America, then.

Captain Charlie America to you.
And, yeah, he's pretty great!

Oh, so now you're
trying to make me jealous!

-Well, two can play that game.
-Mhm.

-Mhm.
-The perfect gift.

Charlie, you're a star.

Kate, see you around.

-Yeah. Bye.
-Bye.

[Playful emotional music]

[Exhales softly]

Where to next?

[Soft music plays in background]

-Can I help you with something?
-Yes.

What are your intentions
with my ex-husband?

Pardon me?

Don't get me wrong.

I know it's none of my business

and he'd be mortified
I'm asking but...

Mac is a good man

and he's easy on the eyes
and that combination

is hard to come by
in the same package.

You should go for it.

Ours is not
a romantic relationship

and I'd rather appreciate it

if you'd stop
insinuating otherwise.

Why is the whole village
trying to pair us together?

I know we're
a certain age and single.

Oh, get a life, people.

[Chuckles]

Yeah, I mean...

we have a lot in common

and we have
a good time together but...

it's not
"till death us do part".

[Inquisitive music]

You can stare at me
all you like.

But a road trip

and a Latin aerobics class

does not a relationship make.

And I won't share my intimate
feelings with you in any case!

Ah, so you do
have feelings for Mac.

Agh! Gah.

-[Whimsical music]
-Ya!

-DELILAH: Hi!
-Where is everybody?

Kate and Callum have gone MIA
and I have big news!

I have no idea.

There's literally
nowhere else

to be in this place but here.

[Pleasant music]

The long nights and weekends

have finally paid off.

I've been offered partner
at the firm.

Oh, that's fantastic!

Yeah... it's everything I've
been working towards, but, um...

Oh, come on,

tell Auntie Delilah.

I am on a roll.

I just helped Evelyn
through her feelings

and this morning I had to talk
Kate back from the cliff's edge.

She was so upset
about this Callum thing.

Of course.

Tell me more.

Well, you should have seen her.

She could barely
keep her head on straight. I...

I don't know if she and Callum
can stay friends.

-Terrible.
-Mhm.

And that would be because...?

Oh, no... No, no, no, no.

-No?
-No, no, no, no. No!

Hmm. I-- I didn't say anything.

No, but you did!

Oh, no, I didn't.

I am a vault.

And don't you forget it, Laura!

[Choir music]: ♪ Step into
Christmas, let's join together

♪ We can watch the snow fall
forever and ever

♪ Eat, drink and be merry,
come along with me... ♪

So... uh, you and Richard?

Oh, I mean, you know, we went
on a few dates, but, you know,

we're all dating
a lot of people, so...

It doesn't matter.

Seeing someone you care about
with another person sucks.

[Choir music continues]

I mean... dating in general
is kind of a nightmare.

You know, it's like...

you try so hard to be open,
and then, I don't know,

you panic and wonder, "Should
I have protected myself more?"

It's so complicated.

Sorry. This isn't
really first-date talk.

No...

Alright, listen, I have an idea
for the perfect gift for you

but you can't buy it
in a Christmas market.

You game?

Sure.

-Knock, knock.
-Nobody's home.

-I need advice.
-[Soft festive tune]

-Pass.
-It's about Kate.

Oh, in that case, double pass.

I may have let out
a tiny little secret

Kate was trying to keep.

What? You mean our daughter,

the one with major trust issues,

told you a secret
and you blabbed it

to what I can only assume
was the entire village?

[Music ends]

You know what?
What's done is done.

Kate might end up
thanking me for it.

And Santa might lose ten stone
before Christmas.

It's not like I'm trying
to let Kate down.

It's just her way
or the highway, always.

You're not wrong.

But everyone has
their own way of coping.

Ooh, I see you've
been working on the bike.

-Taken it out for a spin yet?
-[Engine sputters]

Come on, Mac,
let's go for a ride!

-Kate would kill me!
-Oh, come on!

You are not the old fuddy duddy
that Kate says you are.

-I'm younger than you!
-Oh, prove it.

[Sputtering continues;
she laughs happily]

[Rock music]

Keep your wig on!

[Engine accelerates,
she yells excitedly, he laughs]

[Delilah yells]

[Rock music fades]

Are you sure you work here
and we're allowed to do this?

Yes. I mean,
who'd have a problem

with two Americans rifling
through the most priceless

textile archives
in all of Great Britain?

Hmm. That's
a good point. [Chuckles]

[Gentle festive music;
door clicks closed]

KATE: Woah. Wow!

-[Soft excited music]
-This is the perfect gift.

-BOTH: Oh!
-[She laughs]

I have to admit, that felt good.

Oh, you bet it did!

Oh! Ooh...

Did you see Evelyn's face
when we rode past the Pear Tree?

-[Tense music]
-What? Evelyn?

Oh, no. Well, she might
think that you and I were--

-Yes, exactly.
-[Whimsical tune]

-You are an insufferable woman.
-[Determined music]

Always making a mess!

[Pleasant music]

It's an exhibit my co-worker
is putting together.

It's a "who's who" of British
designers throughout history.

Wow.

You know,
I was never that into fashion.

And then when we moved here,
my dad took me to Savile Row

and I saw Nicola's window,
and the rest is history.

So you chose textile design.

Yeah, I mean, look at that.
It's so cool,

how a pattern
can sort of look messy,

but there really is
a purpose to it, you know?

Making order out of chaos
is kind of my favorite thing.

Mine's cheesecake.

[She chuckles softly]

So how does your family
feel about losing you

to jolly old England?

Oh, it's just temporary.
I'm on loan from MoMA.

Oh. So... so you're leaving?

Well, yeah, eventually.

But I'm here
through the holidays,

I thought the 12 Dates could be
a way to meet cool people.

Which it obviously was.

Huh. But-- so you're not looking
for anything serious, then?

I don't know.

Are you?

I didn't think I was,

but it's funny,
somebody asked me that

at the start of this, and...

I can sort of feel
my answer already changing.

Anyway, I just realized
I still owe you a present.

I think I have an idea.

Hmm, what do you think?

-It's kind of terrible.
-Yeah.

I said I knew a place,
not that it was good. [Chuckles]

[Phone buzzes]

-LAURA: Still coming tonight?
-Oh, no...

I gotta go.

[Latin music plays,
women pant and laugh]

Hands in the air
like you just don't care!

-ALL: Wooh!
-Shake it around.

[Laughs]

What's so important that
you're disturbing my class?

There's something I have
to tell you, and it can't wait.

It's gonna have to.

I don't know what
you saw or think you saw,

but Delilah, she's...
like a pest,

a plague
of biblical proportions.

Don't think
there's anything going on.

There most definitely is not .

Mac, what do you want from me?

I wanna take you out on a date.

[Music ends;
women whisper animatedly]

A proper date.

-[Music resumes]
-Everyone, from the top. And!

CHILDREN [Sing on stage]:
♪ Jingle bells, jingle bells

♪ Jingle all the way

♪ Oh, what fun it is to... ♪

-Oy! Hi.
-Hi.

Sorry I'm late. Hope I didn't
miss stuff. Is that...

-a Christmas lobster?
-Don't be ridiculous.

It's a Christmas prawn.

-With claws?
-I don't know.

Right, darling, off you go.

Sorry, the date took forever,
but in a good way.

Great. Good. Fine. What happened
between you and Callum?

-What have you heard?
-Your mom was cryptic about it.

Well, look who it is!

You never come to these.

I'm looking for Kate.

He speaks.

What, uh, took you so long?

I could ask you the same.
Where have you been?

Pardon me. 'll be the one asking
questions around here.

I'm quite good at it.
I actually made partner.

Not that you'd know.

-Amazing!
-Save it. I can't enjoy it.

My two best friends
are at odds. So...

If we could just get this
over and done with,

then we can all listen to
my daughter singing out of tune,

dressed as
Christmas marine life.

I want you to take us seriously.

-[Emotional music]
-[Kate exhales]

I tried to say that
the other night.

You-- you changed the rules,
Callum, you can't--

You can't just kiss me
and then disappear

and expect me
to process it all on my own.

The last time I told you
how I felt, you--

This is so irresponsible of you!
I mean, you get that, right?

Like... how do I know
I'm not just a rebound?

Or that you're not
just afraid to be alone?

I mean, come on,
you should know better!

That's not what this is.

It's like you're trying
to not understand me.

No, the point is,
is that I am not here

to make you feel better about
the mess that you made, OK?

I am here to watch holiday
seafood dancing on a stage.

And that's what I'm gonna
go do, so, excuse me.

-Break a leg. You're the best.
-[Whimsical music]

[Pleasant festive piano music
plays in café]

You're up early.

Couldn't sleep. [Sighs]

I heard there was a declaration
of love in your class?

Oh, no, it was nothing.

The whole village
is talking about it.

-It was just so embarrassing.
-Sounds brave to me.

-Give it a go.
-Give what a go?

I don't know. Being happy?

It might end in disaster.

But if you don't try,
if you don't do it,

won't you always wonder?

Is that what happened
with you and Kate?

You're not the only one
with their ear to the ground.

That didn't go well. No.

But at least I took a chance.

And you might regret it
if you don't.

Thanks. [Exhales satisfied]

What if all this time
we've been laughing

about Kate and Callum,
and the kiss,

and actually
they're in love with each other?

[Soft hopeful music]

What else have I missed?
I feel like I'm in the dark.

[Sighs]

Maybe you are

because this is
between Callum and Kate.

But I'm right in the middle. No.

I have to talk
to Callum about this. Mhm.

[Soft determined music]

Just make sure you listen, too!

[Bird chirps]

-DELILAH: Morning.
-[Playful music]

Oh, good, you're up.

No, no, I'm not up.
I'm the opposite of up.

Sweetheart, I am so sorry

that I let
the Callum thing slip.

I didn't mean to,
but in my defense--

No, you know what?
There is no defense.

You trusted me, and I'm usually
like a vault with secrets.

It's like talking to a tomb,
everyone says--

Mhm. Mom, Mom, Mom...

All right,
you trusted me, and, um...

I'm ready to hear it.

Let me have it.

[Sighs]

[Intriguing music]

It needed to come out.

-Really?
-Yes. And...

It pains me to admit it:

your advice actually

did help me
clarify some things. So...

Student becomes the master.
Love it.

All right, Socrates,
take it down a notch.

I still have to figure out
what's the right choice.

Yes, you do.

And you will. And Kate,

love... there is
nothing like it.

[Chuckles happily]

Well, hang on now.

You're gonna make me
eat this all by myself?

-You trying to kill me?
-[Joyful music]

[Delilah sighs happily]

You want the raisin one?

[Soft festive music plays
in background, people chat]

I can feel you staring at me.

I wanna talk
about what happened.

No, thanks.

We need to talk about

what happened with Kate.
Both times.

[Birds chirp]

I-- I always assumed Kate told
you what happened back then.

I only know what you both said.
That it was nothing, a laugh.

I told her I loved her.

[Emotional music]

I never knew she'd heard me
until the other night.

I'd long suspected that she had,

and her pretending otherwise
was her way of...

letting me down gently.

But the other night, I just...

I was tired of ignoring it.

I should have told her
how I felt.

Oh, you mean before
we strongly encouraged her

to date 12 other men?

Terrible timing.

You think?

So what are you gonna do?

Do you want me to talk to her?

Like, not to meddle,

but just to--

maybe just to help a teensy bit?

It doesn't matter.

She's made it perfectly clear
it's too late.

What if you--
OK, OK, this is...

I'm just asking the question.

What if it isn't too late?

[Bright music]

[Knocks on door]

Uh...

Well, thanks for knocking.

Not everybody does.

My life was fine
until I met you, Mr. Tucker.

You've just turned it
all upside down.

I never imagined
there would ever be

someone after Martin.

I thought it was greedy
to even think about it, but...

I can't deny it.

There is something
between us. Or...

maybe there could be.

So... [Exhales deeply]

my answer is yes,
I will go on a date with you.

Um, a proper date. Just you
and me. The two of us.

Good.

We've already spent the night
together, if you think about it,

in Brighton. And, uh...

we've danced,
read romantic literature.

Seems we're doing
everything backwards.

We're not already married,
are we?

Do you want to do this?
Or you just want to joke?

Sorry. It-- it's just that
when I'm with you,

I tend to make silly jokes.

[Bright music]

Well...

I happen to like
your silly jokes.

Ah, so, dinner? Drinks?

Dinner... and a stroll.

Oh. Arm-in-arm or hand-in-hand?

Hmm... We'll just see
how the evening goes.

Oh, see, that makes it sound
like a proper date.

That makes me feel
a bit nervous.

[Tender music]

I think that takes care of that.
Nothing to be nervous about now.

So... will you take me home
on that bike of yours?

[Music concludes;
footsteps approach]

NICOLA: I have
the most amazing news.

-What?
-The Winterhorne called.

They want one of my pieces
in a retrospective

on influential
British designers.

-That's amazing.
-It's the dress with your print.

They'll pick it up very soon.

I can't believe
they thought of me!

I mean, of course I can,
but I must say, it is thrilling.

Well, you deserve it.

You're right, I do.

I have some champagne
in the back. Let's toast.

[Phone buzzes]

DREW: Date 11 is a do-over
that's long overdue.

Your car will be there
in one hour!

NICOLA: Kate, you coming?

[Sia's "Underneath the
Mistletoe", slow song, plays]

♪ I've got a crush
La la la la la la

♪ Like a school girl...

This is perfect!

Date number 11.

Unrequited love...

requited, finally.

Let's see what Kate says
before you plan our future.

Come on, she's gonna love it!

-[He sighs unsure]
-LAURA: Drew.

Can I get an ETA on Kate?

DREW: Checking!

♪ La la la la la la
I wanna know ya

♪ Run to me, run to me
through the white night

♪ 'Cause I adore ya

♪ Run to me, run to me...

Love Actually
is what you wanna go with?

-Yeah, inside joke.
-Why don't I know it, then?

♪ It's Christmas time,
so run for your life

♪ Oh, Hallelujah

♪ A snowy night, a woman on fire

♪ I'm waiting for ya...

DRIVER: Here we are.

♪ So here we go
under the mistletoe

♪ Oh, I adore ya

♪ A snowy night,
a woman on fire...

I sent a car.

Kate wasn't there.

I'm sorry.

♪ Oh, you and me here,
underneath the mistletoe

♪ Oh, you and me here... ♪

Richard.

I couldn't stand the idea
of you going out

with someone else for Date 11,

so I intervened.

Hope you don't mind?

No, not at all. But...
what about my actual date?

Well, it's not his night.
It's ours.

[Both chuckle softly]

[Song fades]

[Richard laughs;
gentle piano music]

-Careful. Just a little more.
-Ooh, I'm scared.

-A little more.
-Mmm...

Nearly there.
OK, wait right here.

OK?

[Romantic French song
plays softly on speakers]

-Are you ready?
-As I'll ever be.

Open.

What do you think?

Oh my God. [Chuckles]

Or should I say, mon Dieu .

I owed you a first date
and Paris is kind of our thing.

-It is?
-Oh...

He makes good on his promise.

[French accent]:
Too much, Madame?

Oui , oui, it's much too much.

The truth is, when I first
got into the 12 Dates,

I was a skeptic.

Now look at me.

Yeah, in an abandoned building

surrounded
by a bazillion candles.

I mean,
this must be a fire hazard.

Be honest, did you bring me here
for a ritualistic sacrifice?

-No.
-You can tell me.

12 Dates was
supposed to be an experiment

to see if all these
big romantic experiences

make a difference in the search
for love and connection.

I thought it was
just kind of a fantasy.

You came along, and...

next thing I know, I plan a date
with a giant Eiffel Tower.

Yeah, I know what you mean.

I will admit I was

a little jalouse
when I saw you with Marjorie.

-Hmm, a little jalouse ?
-Just a little.

I love that you're honest
and say what you think.

I do.

Said literally no one ever.

Why?

-Was that cheesy?
-No. I mean, yes, but...

it's just nobody
thinks that about me.

So it's...

it's nice to hear.

Poor Cal. He was devastated.

Made me swear that
I'd never talk to Kate about it.

[Soft melancholic music]

Yeah, I pushed too hard.

I feel terrible.

I am never meddling
in my friends' romantic lives

ever again. I mean it this time.

No, really.

But, um...

working with Drew did make me
realize something.

-You don't want to be partner.
-Wha-- How did you know?

Same way I know you have
a mince pie in your pocket.

You haven't been happy.
You've been searching.

Yeah...

I wanna quit the firm.

OK.

I just want to go out on my own.
Like, start my own company,

take the cases I want,

help the people
who are really in need.

Oh, I get it now.

Professional meddling.
Makes perfect sense.

I love how you get me.
Mince pie?

Go on.

Mmm...

If you're trying to win me over

with unlimited sweets,

it's working.

In my family, we go big
on special occasions.

-I have six siblings.
-Whoa, whoa. Six?

-I was lucky number seven.
-Wow!

My folks finally stopped
once they got it right.

[Both chuckle]

I always wondered what it'd be
like to grow up an only child.

You must have made out
like a bandit at Christmas.

[Laughs softly] Yes,
it definitely had its perks.

But it was kind of lonely, too.

Like, especially after
the divorce, you know?

Mhm.

-So I met your mom.
-Don't remind me.

What's your dad like?

He's the best.
Yeah, he's a total legend.

He's my best friend.
Yeah, we're super close.

I can't wait to meet him.

I don't know.
He's been struggling a bit

with his retirement.

Trying to figure out
what his purpose is now. So...

-I worry about him.
-I'm sure he'll figure it out.

What's not to like about having
all your time to yourself?

[Water sloshes]

-Come on, Mac.
-[Pleasant song plays]

Pull yourself together.

You're acting like a schoolboy.

This is a good thing.
Don't blow it.

[Metallic hum; he pants]

-[Panting intensifies]
-EVELYN: Mac.

-You OK in there?
-[Glass breaks]

-[Phone buzzes]
-KATE: Oh. Sorry.

[She chuckles]

[Phone buzzes again]

Someone's popular.

They can wait.

[Phone buzzes again]

Sorry. Let me just...

Hey, Callum,
it's not a good time.

[Dramatic music]

What?

[Music continues;
muffled hospital sounds]

[Sound resumes normally]

Where is he? Where's my dad?

[Emotional festive music]
