It's George.

You won't make it home from New York in time for Christmas.

I'm gonna ask her again to give Sheila a joy.

Well, if you help in the poor children, why not help her too?

No.

There he is.

Good. The workhouse.

This is Charlie.

She's part of that thieving street cat.

Hey, look at my house! Why stop?

Ah!

What are you doing here?

Could hardly leave you out there.

Freedom to death.

Could wait.

Perhaps.

There's something else we could end.

It isn't like my stepmother.

She'd never leave Constance alone and could receive.

You're under arrest. The pair with you.

Sheila!

Resty me.

Feather in her stupid plans.

Hello, Eddie Feather.

Stay with us.

Everyone needs a friend at Christmas, don't they?

Yes, my trend.

I'm not going to be a little too late.

I'm not going to be a little too late.

I'm not going to be a little too late.

I'm not going to be a little too late.

I'm not going to be a little too late.

I'm not going to be a little too late.

I'm not going to be a little too late.

I'm not going to be a little too late.

I'm not going to be a little too late.

I'm not going to be a little too late.

I'm not going to be a little too late.

I'm not going to be a little too late.

I'm not going to be a little too late.

Christmas!

It's not so fun to do.

It's Christmas!

But I'm excited too.

There's good news in the men.

I'm talking in my tongue.

But...

Where is everyone?

I tell everyone around this morning from Father Christmas.

What did they say?

That her sleigh was broken and to expect it to lay this year.

How long before?

Till the rangers have got the strength to fly again I shouldn't wonder.

I want Mother.

I expect they got held up handing out food to the needy.

While we're waiting, I'm sure no one will mind if you open to present from under the tree.

And then amidst part of breakfast there's a tree.

She's so beautiful!

If only Mother was here to see her.

She has a dick in and says a lot to answer for.

How exactly?

No good ever comes from helping the poor.

Erm...

Erm...

I get here.

Steve, I'm here.

What's the Christmas card?

Come on!

I'm here.

Someone must have been tired.

You slept right through.

All got too much for you, did it?

The life of a lady's maid.

Well, I am surprised that you stuck it out for so long, you know.

I assumed you were going to become a great author.

I am.

I was living the life of a servant, I know.

I doubt that very much.

Git!

It's funny, Shida.

We're getting out of here, Mom.

It's not as easy as that. I have to sneak past the gatekeeper first.

Take these.

I'll come and find you as soon as the coast is clear.

I suppose Hetty's all right.

Don't worry about Hetty. She can survive, Matron. She can survive anything.

So much for reminiscing.

Everyone's a church. Makes easy pickings for us.

Don't look so shocked, Feather.

We only have a steal from the rich, and they are the ones that don't allow Ida to visit you at Christmas.

Do you want to spend the rest of your life curtsying and emptying chamber pots, O'Hetty?

Oh, and don't worry, you're not in the tent. You're free to come and go as you please.

Our home is your home.

Agnes?

Agnes?

It's all the shopping about.

I still know someone of Hetty or Gideon.

Mrs. calendar and Lady Gremford are missing too.

Then you must head out. We start searching for them immediately.

Yes, Master Edmund.

Perhaps you could take this.

It might help them with much of face to her name.

Don't worry, Master Edmund.

We're going to bring them all home.

Come on.

Are you being made?

Where have you been hiding?

Yes.

Although, I'm very, very clumsy.

So, have you got something special planned for today?

No, nothing.

Well, you can't start Christmas without a hot bowl of porridge inside, can you?

Go on, sit down.

Good!

The gatekeeper's had two helpings of the Kicks brandy, but it...

So?

I'm so cold.

Why don't you come with me?

I've already had this with Hetty. I can't just come and go as I please.

Maybe it's just as well.

Why'd you say that?

Because everyone says Flo's the best cook we've ever had at calendar hall.

Sounds like someone needs to be knocked down a peg on the tube.

So you'll come with me?

That's my kitchen. Flo has no right claiming it as her own.

Take me with you, or I'm telling Mrs. Daugherty about your little store away.

You and, er...

What are you working?

Hey, do we have here?

The Knight Wardens brought her and Mrs. Daugherty.

What you got to say for yourself?

She's a mute. Never say much out of the word.

Oh, it's a shame?

Such a pretty old thing she is too.

Alright, back to work, you know. Christmas or no Christmas.

Em sheet's ain't gonna wash themselves.

I've been the best friend of mine.

I've been the best maid. I got ages like ya. We're air twins.

You'd still have to work very hard.

Why? Does he miss his beat ya?

No, never.

I miss neat niggas.

Mrs. Cattleton.

She didn't say that. Mrs. Cattleton's the nicest person I know.

I was getting cold in here. What time does it make Trini?

Goatee. Get home.

Sometimes I stay up a day. That's if the bobbies don't get in first.

Then we're on our own.

Who knows how to play past the sipper? Have you got one?

I live in luxury, round here, down here.

I live in the city of the city.

I live in the city of the city.

I live in luxury, round here, they're corporate free.

A choice of day for maid. Which life is best for me?

Which peaking?

Stalking stuff like sausages.

Which peaking?

They could fill six carriages.

Wonder for everyone.

What if the bobbies come?

Christmas on the run, love this.

This brick, this brick must lie.

My head is like a hurricane.

Will we see our friends again?

Look in every alleyway, through every window pane.

What a Christmas season.

What great is the travesty?

My kingdom for a cup of tea.

It's Christmas.

Scrub those jingle bells.

What a Christmas.

These sheets all really smell.

It's just me and my brother.

Father's gone and can't find mother.

At least we have each other.

Um, maybe one more present.

Why would come to the workhouse?

I still wanted to see Sheila.

So maybe they stopped here on their way home.

When I take your mates on Christmas day, you're gonna have to come back tomorrow.

I was your mistaken.

My name is Clarissa.

I am Lord Fotheringham's daughter.

We have a selection of cakes for your workers,

which we'd like to hand out, if possible.

Oh, I'm sorry, my lady.

I'm not Lord Fervibre, no Lord Fervibre.

We don't accept visitors to the workhouse.

What is I thinking?

We have a gift for you too, of course.

Bye.

Bye.

What can you do to me?

Sorry, Silver, of course.

In recognition of your outstanding service, the poor are needed.

Allow me to give you a guided tour.

As you can see, we are one big happy family.

Let right girls.

Yeah.

Let's put this away for safekeeping.

Jane, I'm so good for seeing you.

Have you seen Hetty?

Did she not go back to the house?

No one's seen her since she got dropped off at St Mary's.

Hang on, how did you know Hetty was missing?

Gideon told me.

It's a bit of a pain.

It's a pain.

It's a pain.

It's a pain.

It's a pain.

St Mary's in the spittle gate.

What's it to you?

That's where my gang will put it.

Our den's just behind it in the old sawmill.

Your gang was the one chasing Hetty.

Don't worry, Gertie will not come to any arm.

Who?

Gertie botany, she runs our crew.

Maitre.

We need to get to Hetty.

I'm not sure.

I'm sorry, I'm sorry.

Where's Charlie?

Mrs. Daugherty, have you seen Charlie?

It's just she said she was going to get some more starch.

Should be halfway across London, my name, I should imagine.

You let her just walk out of it.

How else were we going to find out where dinner thieves are hiding?

You set a trap.

Don't worry, I could frick off some of you.

He's caught on her tail.

Hetty's with them.

We have to go.

Who do you two think you're going?

You belong to the workers.

And what would the warden say if he knew you were carrying on with the constable?

Big pun?

I saw you two kissing under the mistletoe.

Yeah, you're not going to tell, are you?

I'm sure our silence could be bought.

A surprise.

I see.

So we're resorting to Black Bear now, are we?

Fine.

Have you ever come back here again?

That's not going to happen.

I'm going to make a success of my life.

Come on, we have to go.

Yeah, well that's all I have to do.

Yeah, well that's what I all say.

You'll be back one day.

You mark my words.

Boy, that's no way to treat a lady.

This is what you get for trying a steal of pig.

It's you.

In a silk dress from Paris no less.

I take it, this means we ought to be released without charge.

Well, you can tell your governor that I intend to write a strongly worded letter to the

own secretary.

And ask for you to charlatans.

Steal all the clothes you like.

You can't make a silk purse out of a sousier.

If it's a sousier after, I could get you on a surprise.

Oh!

Thank you, my friends.

It seems that Father Christmas left us an extra present this year.

Charlie!

And look what other treats I have in here.

Presents!

You have this one.

Not to mention, Figgie put him up all the trimmons.

Father, you're still here.

Will you be joining us in our celebratory dinner?

Open this door, man today!

Quickly, everyone out of the battle!

Hey! Open on it!

Open the door!

Open the door!

Hey, Trudy!

Come on!

Quick!

Open the door!

Open the door!

Open the door!

Open the door!

Gideon, Sheila, what are you doing here?

We came to when you were about the Constable.

Oh, when your time is as impeccable as ever.

Now thanks to you, we're out on the street with no one to pull home.

Not necessarily.

I've got an idea.

Oh, no, no, not another one of your hair-brained skis.

What would you rather start here and freeze?

Where are you going?

Callum de Ho.

Rose has spent her life trying to get off these streets.

Why would she want to help us?

Because she's kind.

And she knows better than anyone how hard life out here can be.

A round of applause for Hedgy Feathers. She saves the day again.

All you're doing is using them to make money, just like you did in the founding hospital.

You are very quick to judge, Archie.

Have you any idea what would happen to these children if I wasn't here to help them?

So I break into the odd house.

That money puts food in their bellies on a roof over their head.

That doesn't make it right.

Life is not like one of your stories.

We don't all get a happy ever after.

So I made a few mistakes in the past.

Why as you always see the worst in me?

You hated me.

You didn't give much choice. You end up feeling best.

You're always so clever. You're always so smart.

I'm building empires. You pull them apart.

Sticking your hair to where it shouldn't be.

Pain in my neck from the start.

You are so evil. You are so mean.

They stole you and cake. And you sat with the cream.

You're always so smart.

You are so mean. They stole you and cake. And you sat with the cream.

You're always in your blood. You don't know how to feel.

I can't shake you off if it would seem.

All right, silly stories. Reality is mean.

They once was a dragon to children to see.

You're like a bad penny.

You're like a bad tree. I wish you could see what I mean.

If all of the world wears black and as white as two,

my pie feathers, then you could be right.

You're my pie still with this feather who'll fight without understanding their plight.

They call you in charge. You and still you got clear.

You're like a bad smell that won't disappear.

I want to destroy you, but now that your hair's a child's boyfriend's yet my dear.

Yes, if we make amends, then could we be friends?

Are we allies or both? Well, it surely depends on whether the matron and feather intent to bury the hatchet.

My dear!

It's the constable.

Everyone stay away from our little teeth.

Come on!

No!

No!

It's scary!

What's in your pocket?

That's it. You take that.

Hey!

Why are you coming over, Alice?

We were soon starved and asked Rosamund to come and have help.

Should have run up the rest of the gang, go and see.

I fear that Hattie has taken the move. I know they're her problem now.

What will you do?

We will muddle through. We always do.

Some way the bobbies won't find us.

Don't you want to take a bite of them?

Tell them to take care of each other. Tell them that Gertie will never be far away.

Come on!

Well, I see you again.

Something tells me our paths will cross again. One day, Hattie Feather.

Come on.

Ah!

I'm going to get a bite of everyone out of my way!

Where did Meetron go?

Looking for a hex target, I should imagine.

She might like this life, but I'm done with it.

Please don't ask me.

Don't ask me.

Who are all these people?

That's a very good question, Constance.

Mother?

Why are you dressed like a scarecrow?

It's a long story.

We have been the victims of a gross miscarriage of justice.

I'm sorry for my behaviour yesterday.

You have nothing to apologise for. I was so worried about you, both of you.

I fell into my head and if it wasn't for everyone here, I'm not sure if all of you lived here.

Then I owe you all a debt of gratitude.

But now they've lost their home. And they don't have anywhere else to go.

And how is that our problem? Exactly.

Because it is Christmas, Lady Grenford. The season of Goodwill.

Lizzie, Flo, do we have enough food to feed everyone?

Yes, Mrs. Callender. Excellent.

Then I'm delighted to welcome you all to Callender Hall to share our Christmas.

Yes!

Now if you'll excuse me, I'd like to get washed and changed.

Are there no prisons? No workhouses?

No.

Charity is all well and good, my dear. But I think even George would draw a line of turning his home into a zoo.

Which is why I intend to establish a home for destitute children.

Mrs. Callender, you and Mr. Callender were so kind to take me in when you did.

And you've repaid them with insolence.

I can't promise you anything until I've spoken to my husband.

But we have rather missed your peace pudding.

I see you are already dressed for work.

Hrazam Shwers.

I'm not sure.

When I was small, I dreamed all the places I'd go.

When I opened my eyes, I woken the world was so cold.

I never thought this was where I would be.

I've seen things never thought I would see.

I need you beside me.

A friend who can find in, cause sometimes life isn't fair.

But when we're together, I need friends of the weather.

When we're together, our friends are family.

And this Christmas, we open the tray.

This Christmas be the best of all lives.

This Christmas time, we'll dream.

At night, time of life, imagine having nowhere to go.

Walking so hard, tired, I'm with nothing to show.

Give me, we're not like the rest.

We'll never give up, changing the world of the best.

I love to be with you, have all I can give you.

There's sometimes we all make a mess.

I need friends of the weather.

When we're together, our friends are family.

And this Christmas, we open the tray.

This Christmas be the best of all lives.

This Christmas time, we'll dream.

You must be missing Ida terribly.

Then it's just as well Ida ready arranged for the two of you to spend tomorrow together.

The carriage will be here first thing.

Oh!

What's that?

It's the wishbone.

Would you pull it with me?

Hmm.

I have to make the wish.

Somehow I don't think it's going to come true this year.

Merry Christmas, my dear.

Thank you.

Well, don't tell me.

Have I missed magic?

You could say that.

Family's come in all shapes and sizes.

And this is my family right here.

We may fight.

We may be horrible to each other at times.

But love is a thread that winds us all together.

Merry Christmas, one and all.

And Merry Christmas to you too.

Now it's together with friends from the league.

And it's Christmas, we're welcome to try.

This Christmas is the best of all lives.

This Christmas time, this Christmas time.

We'll dream.
