Short filmTranscript
00:00:00I still remember, like it was yesterday The smell of Momma's Christmas cookies and
00:00:21the bells on an open sleigh All I gotta do is shut my eyes
00:00:27And I can see those twinklin' lights In every streetlight with decorations
00:00:33In my hometown tonight
00:00:36Messin' strangers up to share a smile Bright houses filled with joy and laughter
00:00:45As they bless the child
00:00:48My favourite time of the year
00:00:54My favourite time of the year
00:01:07Is that ready for me?
00:01:11Can you slow down?
00:01:14So, who's I'm meeting with?
00:01:16Is it Ferdy, the dragon lady?
00:01:19Yeah.
00:01:21Yeah, second thoughts.
00:01:24Coffee courage.
00:01:26How dare you produce these abysmal figures?
00:01:31You know, we still have two weeks until Christmas.
00:01:35I have an idea that could...
00:01:37Oh, and what would that be, I wonder?
00:01:41To use our labs to produce your very own perfume formula.
00:01:46Because, well, you're a perfume maker, you're not a sales manager.
00:01:51Right?
00:01:52And then, you could bottle it and sell it at all our luxury stores.
00:02:00You read my proposal?
00:02:03Pissed it off?
00:02:04Mm-hmm.
00:02:06And said no.
00:02:07Of course.
00:02:08So, what are you going to do?
00:02:11I don't know.
00:02:14Ho, ho, ho!
00:02:16Let me help.
00:02:17I wasn't looking where I was going.
00:02:19That's okay.
00:02:20This is the worst day ever.
00:02:21There's nothing the Christmas spirit can't fix.
00:02:23I doubt that.
00:02:25So, what's on your Christmas wish list, my dear?
00:02:30Well, I'm certain it's nothing Santa's elves can't fix up in their workshop.
00:02:34Certainty is a sure thing.
00:02:36Certainty is a sure thing.
00:02:37You can't be sure of everything, even that your Christmas wish will not come true.
00:02:46Well, Merry Christmas.
00:02:48Huh?
00:03:05Hey, Mom.
00:03:06Hey, sweetheart.
00:03:07I just put up a new video.
00:03:09Have you seen it?
00:03:10Great.
00:03:11Can I watch it later?
00:03:12Of course.
00:03:13How's Finn Rose?
00:03:15Creating some magic, I imagine.
00:03:17Like I said, I'm not there yet.
00:03:20I'm just a sales manager.
00:03:22I don't understand why they're wasting your talent.
00:03:25Um, there's someone at the door.
00:03:27Hang on a second.
00:03:28She's got a date.
00:03:29She's got a date.
00:03:30No.
00:03:31No, I do not have a date.
00:03:33Bye.
00:03:45Bye.
00:03:59Dear Blair, what's for you won't go by you.
00:04:04Merry Christmas.
00:04:15Merry Christmas.
00:04:34Ah, supper with Lady Murray.
00:04:38Come skiing with us in St. Moritz.
00:04:40Annabelle wishes to see you.
00:04:42The bland football.
00:04:44They're always trying to find me a woman.
00:04:46Don't they know that you're the only girl for me, Lucy?
00:04:50Oh, you're so beautiful.
00:04:52Hmm?
00:04:53Look, please.
00:04:55Have you seen the master's glasses?
00:04:57Oh, I'm sure that, as usual, they're on top of his head.
00:05:01Tabby, would you see to these, please?
00:05:03Don't tell me.
00:05:04I can answer them all for you, like before.
00:05:08Engagements in Glasgow.
00:05:12Chief clan delegations and business on the Isle of Skye.
00:05:16Well, aren't I very busy?
00:05:18Right, if you need me, I'll be walking the dog.
00:05:21Come on.
00:05:22Come on.
00:05:34Duncan!
00:05:36I would know that voice anywhere.
00:05:39As one of your oldest friends, I'd hoped you would.
00:05:42Here.
00:05:43Ah.
00:05:44I found these.
00:05:48And there's much bettering.
00:05:50Sharp as a hawk.
00:05:5235,000 hectares and some of the finest salmon fishing in Scotland.
00:05:57I suppose it's lucky you have such a fine son to leave it all to.
00:06:04To what do I owe the pleasure of your visit?
00:06:07My daughter is back home.
00:06:09Ah, darling Kirsten.
00:06:11Yes, and sadly been lacking in confidence since she and Alistair broke up.
00:06:19From my understanding, your daughter found love elsewhere
00:06:24and my boy felt assured of their incompatibility.
00:06:28You know, his desire for the simpler things in life may not have satisfied Kirsten.
00:06:35Well, as I understood it, Kirsten was waiting for the big romantic gesture.
00:06:40Ah.
00:06:41Alistair waiting for your approval to give it.
00:06:44That wasn't it at all.
00:06:46Oh, how tragic.
00:06:48Yeah.
00:06:49I've been short-sighted in that respect as well.
00:06:53Oh, Duncan, possibly.
00:06:56Possibly.
00:06:59It's the answer to all our problems.
00:07:05Oh, this is utterly fabulous.
00:07:10Get it on my shelves by next week.
00:07:13Next week?
00:07:15No, no, no, that's impossible.
00:07:17Get it to me by Christmas and I may just ask my friends in Provence
00:07:23to take on a new profiler.
00:07:28I'll see what I can sort out.
00:07:37How long will you be gone?
00:07:39A couple of days, and most.
00:07:42I've googled them.
00:07:44They're a tiny little workshop in the middle of nowhere.
00:07:47This is their big break.
00:07:49I offer them a whole bunch of money for the formula and they'll...
00:07:52they'll jump at it.
00:07:57Hey, Mom.
00:08:00Try this.
00:08:08Oh, it's wonderful.
00:08:11Oh, wish me luck.
00:08:41Oh, my God.
00:09:12That'll do, lass.
00:09:14Free Wi-Fi.
00:09:16Breakfast is included downstairs between six and nine.
00:09:19And best to keep the door closed.
00:09:22Keep Jack Frost out.
00:09:24Can get a wee bit chilly through the night.
00:09:31Oh, my God.
00:09:33Oh, my God.
00:09:35Oh, my God.
00:09:37Oh, my God.
00:09:40Okay.
00:09:57Excuse me, sir.
00:09:59I have no hot water in my room.
00:10:02I have been traveling for over 20 hours.
00:10:05Took two flights, two buses.
00:10:08I hit my head on a frozen window and I walked for what seemed like miles.
00:10:12All I want is a hot shower.
00:10:17Sounds like all you need is a nice holiday.
00:10:20And your Internet is non-existent.
00:10:24I'm not from around here.
00:10:25I would never have guessed.
00:10:27And I need to contact the outside world?
00:10:29By the outside world, you mean...
00:10:32New York.
00:10:34Oh. What brings you to Tillyforie?
00:10:38Work.
00:10:39So it's not a vacation after all.
00:10:41No. In fact, I need to find this place.
00:10:44Maybe you could help me.
00:10:46I'm not sure why you'd want to go there right now.
00:10:49Not right this minute.
00:10:51But tomorrow...
00:10:53Well, when you do go, you can take that road out there.
00:10:57Go straight for four miles, turn right at the crossroads.
00:11:00It's just a wee bit further up the end of the second round.
00:11:05Great.
00:11:08Let it run.
00:11:09What?
00:11:10The shower.
00:11:11It takes a few minutes for the hot water to come through.
00:11:13Things move a bit more slowly here than they do in New York.
00:11:17Right.
00:11:19Thanks.
00:11:31Well, I'm off, Paul.
00:11:33See you Friday.
00:11:34See you then, Alistair.
00:11:36See you then, Alistair.
00:11:48Here we go.
00:11:50Thanks.
00:11:58No!
00:12:02Morning.
00:12:07I wouldn't bother. It's locked.
00:12:09I should hope so.
00:12:11Even the Bonnie Highlands have their robbers.
00:12:13I think they'll be open by now.
00:12:15They're closed for Christmas.
00:12:27Hello?
00:12:30So...
00:12:32you're closed already for Christmas?
00:12:35We do take Christmas quite seriously around here.
00:12:38But since meeting you last night,
00:12:40after you travelled all this way to visit the perfumery,
00:12:42I couldn't just leave you out in the cold, now could I?
00:12:45So, wait a minute.
00:12:46You own this but work at the hotel?
00:12:49Yes, but no, I don't actually work there.
00:12:53I was just, um...
00:12:55No, I don't actually work there.
00:12:58I was just, um, having a pint with Paul.
00:13:01You seem very distressed.
00:13:03Oh.
00:13:04Alistair MacGregor.
00:13:06Blair.
00:13:07Hello.
00:13:09This is an authentic aromatic blend
00:13:12of fresh ingredients from the Scottish Highlands.
00:13:15May I?
00:13:20Heather, Myrtle, Rose.
00:13:24That's what makes it so special.
00:13:26I get calls all the time from big corporates
00:13:28wanting to buy it from us, but it's not for sale.
00:13:32I keep telling them,
00:13:34every bottle we make is locally produced and sold.
00:13:37We want our customers to have a memory of the Highlands,
00:13:41not of Fifth Avenue.
00:13:43Of course.
00:13:45Some things just can't be sold.
00:13:48This one is called Heart of the Highlands.
00:13:50I know.
00:13:52You do?
00:13:54What?
00:13:55How on earth did you get hold of that in New York?
00:13:59Santa Claus.
00:14:01Santa Claus?
00:14:02Well, of course not, no.
00:14:04But someone gave it to me as a gift,
00:14:07and I don't know who.
00:14:09Intriguing.
00:14:10A wee secret admirer.
00:14:12So what brings you to Tivifory?
00:14:15Certainly you didn't travel thousands of miles
00:14:18right before Christmas just to buy a bottle of perfume.
00:14:21Certainty is a sure thing,
00:14:23and you can't be sure of everything.
00:14:26Someone once told me that.
00:14:28But no, I'm here to check out the culture
00:14:32and the landscapes and wildlife.
00:14:36The otters!
00:14:38I hear this Eurasian sea otters are up here in Scotland.
00:14:42So you're interested in that stuff?
00:14:44Yeah, I like watching documentaries.
00:14:47Silly, I know.
00:14:48No, no, that's not silly.
00:14:50What do you like to do with your free time?
00:14:52Watch films?
00:14:53Yeah, watch films.
00:14:56Make films.
00:14:58You make them?
00:15:00Yeah, I'm making one at the moment.
00:15:04So that's what brings you to Tivifory.
00:15:07Yeah, I'm making a documentary,
00:15:10and I'm filming the landscape and the wildlife,
00:15:14and of course Scotland's only perfumery.
00:15:19You know, if you'd let me, would you?
00:15:23Certainly, yes.
00:15:25The place will need to be spruced up
00:15:27if it's going to be on camera.
00:15:29Nice.
00:15:31It's perfect as it is.
00:15:34Exactly what I needed after an exhausting day's shopping.
00:15:38Such a lovely idea, Mummy.
00:15:40Thank you, Kirsten, darling.
00:15:42I need you looking your most splendid
00:15:44because we are going to be spending the holidays
00:15:48at Glenmorey Castle.
00:15:50How did you get the Duke to offer us rooms over Christmas?
00:15:54I told him we were renovating our country house.
00:15:57Is that all?
00:15:59Does Alistair know yet?
00:16:01It'll be such a pleasant surprise for him, Nespa.
00:16:04He's stopped answering my calls and texts.
00:16:07Look, when Alistair sets eyes on you again,
00:16:10and furthermore...
00:16:13sees your university degree.
00:16:16Degree? Where did you get that?
00:16:19The interweb, of course.
00:16:21Your passion for Christmas? Ho, ho, ho.
00:16:23Superb organising skills.
00:16:25What do I need those for?
00:16:27The Lady of the Manor needs to be able to manage her staff.
00:16:30So you have arranged for a custom-made gingerbread house
00:16:33to be flown up from Harrods for the Christmas ball.
00:16:35Whatever for?
00:16:37It's actually made by that lunatic baker in town.
00:16:40Well...
00:16:42accidents do happen.
00:16:46So this is a professional camera?
00:16:51I made my first documentary on it.
00:16:53It is a little old, so it needs a good charge every so often.
00:16:56But it's as good as the day I bought it.
00:16:59OK.
00:17:01Um, can you show me how to use it?
00:17:04Sure.
00:17:06You press this to focus.
00:17:08You hold that for shutter speed.
00:17:11And that is the iris.
00:17:13Yeah, and how do I turn on the record?
00:17:18You're funny.
00:17:20Well, enjoy and have a great day.
00:17:22Where do I switch the thing on?
00:17:25Wait, no, no! Hang on!
00:17:29I wasn't joking.
00:17:32How hard can it be?
00:17:37We all...
00:17:38Oh, I thought we'd be filming today.
00:17:41I brought my camera.
00:17:43And I thought you might like to see where it all starts.
00:17:49You know, this really isn't the way to see it.
00:17:51In autumn, it's purple flowering heather as far as the eye can see.
00:17:56When did you come at Christmas to film?
00:17:59An original perspective.
00:18:03Aren't you forgetting something?
00:18:05Oh, right, yeah.
00:18:13Would you just stand there?
00:18:19Oh, shut it off.
00:18:21OK, um...
00:18:24One second.
00:18:25May I?
00:18:26OK.
00:18:27I think what you're looking for is right here.
00:18:32Right. It's just a new camera.
00:18:35New?
00:18:36Yeah, I left mine on the plane.
00:18:39Well, you did say you had a bad day.
00:18:42Right, so can you tell me what we're doing here?
00:18:47All the aromas come from oils,
00:18:50which are collected from plants and flowers found here in the hills.
00:18:54So what you can smell right now,
00:18:57that is the essence that we try to capture in our perfumes.
00:19:02The nature here is very...
00:19:06Sorry, can I start over?
00:19:08This is for film, isn't it?
00:19:10I shouldn't really be talking about smells.
00:19:13No, no, you're doing great.
00:19:15I've never been interviewed before, so...
00:19:17Well, how about you try talking to me instead of at the lens?
00:19:22OK.
00:19:23So can you show me what's in the heart of the highlands?
00:19:27You'd like me to do that?
00:19:29Sure. For the film.
00:19:31Well, heather in autumn always makes me feel instantly at home.
00:19:36So we collect some.
00:19:41There we are.
00:19:42And there's something really distinctive about this perfume in particular.
00:19:49It's unlike anything I've ever tried before.
00:19:52Can you tell me what that is?
00:19:55That is our secret ingredient.
00:19:58And how did you come up with the formula?
00:20:00I didn't. My mother did.
00:20:03And when you...
00:20:05Sorry.
00:20:07I should probably take this. It might be important.
00:20:09Yeah.
00:20:11OK.
00:20:12Hello?
00:20:16I'll be right there.
00:20:18I'm sorry, Blair. I'm going to need to stop filming.
00:20:21Our house is ruined.
00:20:30I left it overnight and it just...
00:20:32That was a gingerbread house?
00:20:34One of the finest I've ever built.
00:20:37Sabotage.
00:20:38The room was locked until this morning. I don't understand.
00:20:41Well, then what happened?
00:20:42Maybe it was when I was out front in the shop.
00:20:45You must make us another for Saturday.
00:20:47Impossible, sir. With all my bookings before Christmas...
00:20:49But it's essential for the ball.
00:20:51Ball?
00:20:52I'm sorry, Your Grace.
00:20:54Your Grace?
00:20:56Are you saying you can't do it or you won't do it?
00:20:59It's just a cake.
00:21:02Isn't it?
00:21:04I could maybe make something smaller.
00:21:06No, I'll make it myself!
00:21:14Well, thanks for the ride.
00:21:16And...
00:21:18Sorry about your house situation.
00:21:21Same time tomorrow?
00:21:24Yeah.
00:21:28Miss Henderson.
00:21:29Been trying to call you.
00:21:31Got some bad news, unfortunately.
00:21:33I'm afraid we've lost all our electricity.
00:21:36We're trying our best right now to get it repaired.
00:21:39First no shower, now no power.
00:21:42It's been a nightmare, Alistair.
00:21:45This has never happened to us before, Miss Henderson.
00:21:48Rest assured, we're arranging other accommodation for all our guests.
00:21:52So, where's the nearest hotel?
00:21:57Blair, why don't you come stay at my family home?
00:22:01No, I couldn't.
00:22:03Yes, you could.
00:22:04I'd take him up on his offer if I were you.
00:22:09If you insist.
00:22:11I do.
00:22:12Thank you, Alistair.
00:22:18Are you sure you have room?
00:22:20I think we can squeeze you in.
00:22:43Are you a prince?
00:22:45No, just an earl.
00:22:55Welcome to Glenmorry Castle.
00:22:58Tabby will show you to the blue room.
00:23:00Actually, the blue room's taken.
00:23:03Oh, the pink then?
00:23:05Taken too.
00:23:07Those are both gone.
00:23:08How can they be?
00:23:09Your father has friends stay.
00:23:12Tabby.
00:23:13It's fine, really.
00:23:15I can find somewhere else.
00:23:16You certainly can.
00:23:18When the master phoned ahead, I took it on myself to prepare the gold suite.
00:23:24Oh, now that sounds like my kind of room.
00:23:28I've been looking after young Alistair since he was a wee boy.
00:23:32Oh, such a sweet natured and generous lad.
00:23:37Now, my dear, you let me know if I can get you anything.
00:23:42Anything at all.
00:23:43It's awfully nice to have some female company for a change.
00:23:47I must admit.
00:23:49Well, if you could show me the kitchen or something, I'd love to make a bagel.
00:23:53No need.
00:23:54You're a guest of the earls.
00:23:56Dinner will be served at eight.
00:23:58Informal dress.
00:24:00Not this casual, right?
00:24:02Your bags will be up in a moment from the B&B, Miss Anderson.
00:24:06Don't worry.
00:24:08Here we are.
00:24:33Get up.
00:24:38Finally!
00:24:39You haven't been picking up your phone.
00:24:41What's happening?
00:24:42Not much.
00:24:43Progress has been a wee bit slower than I'd hoped.
00:24:46Wee?
00:24:47It's Scottish for small.
00:24:49It's a word for large.
00:24:50Where are you?
00:24:51Looks like a palace.
00:24:53Oh, a castle.
00:24:55Girl, you've got some explaining to do.
00:24:57Get this.
00:24:58The owner of the perfumery lives here,
00:25:02with a butler, a valet, the duke,
00:25:06the cutest housekeeper.
00:25:09Blair, wait, are you staying there?
00:25:11Well...
00:25:15Yeah.
00:25:17How did you manage that?
00:25:18Wait, is he like a prince or something?
00:25:20No, he's not a prince.
00:25:22I can always tell when you're keeping something from me.
00:25:25You can.
00:25:26So he is a prince.
00:25:27No, no, no, he's not a prince.
00:25:29He's just a girl.
00:25:31Oh my God, will you listen to yourself?
00:25:34Wait, so what are you doing staying in this castle?
00:25:36Okay, so he won't sell the license.
00:25:39Well, to anyone.
00:25:40So I may have told him I'm making a documentary.
00:25:44A documentary?
00:25:45Are you crazy?
00:25:46I know.
00:25:47I panicked.
00:25:48I was put on the spot.
00:25:49I thought it was a way of learning how to get the formula
00:25:52so I could come home.
00:25:53Or you could just come home and tell Freddie
00:25:55that you can't get the license.
00:25:57Are you crazy and lose my job?
00:25:59This is my golden ticket to making a perfume for my mom.
00:26:02No way.
00:26:03Amber, promise me, please, you hotel dragon lady,
00:26:07I need just some more time to get the recipe.
00:26:13Your luggage, miss.
00:26:15Oh, coming.
00:26:17I have to go.
00:26:19I have been invited by the duke for dinner.
00:26:22Don't you dare hang up on me.
00:26:25Sorry.
00:26:28Father, you in here?
00:26:32Robert.
00:26:34So, you're the surprise.
00:26:37Surprise?
00:26:40I don't know anything about surprises around here.
00:26:43This place looks exactly like it did 400 years ago.
00:26:46Well, in that case, you should put on some old clothes.
00:26:49There's plenty of work to be done.
00:26:50Ali, you know I don't get my hands dirty.
00:26:52Oh, don't be modest, Robert.
00:26:54You're a city trader.
00:26:55Your hands are much dirtier than mine.
00:26:57Well, you don't keep a dog in bark.
00:26:59Hey, Lucy.
00:27:00There's plenty of other people around here willing to help.
00:27:03Go on.
00:27:04Well, Father must be thrilled.
00:27:06Both boys home for Christmas.
00:27:08Oh, have you seen his glasses?
00:27:10No.
00:27:11I haven't seen him yet either, actually.
00:27:13Up on the roof.
00:27:15Taking in your future baronial estate?
00:27:18Taking in the bird life, more like.
00:27:21All this would never suit you anyway.
00:27:27No.
00:27:29No, it would not.
00:27:30Not unless it was turned into a golf hall complex.
00:27:34Eighteen glorious fairways meandering their way through the estate.
00:27:38I live in the modern world.
00:27:41Of course.
00:27:43This place, it's a tired, drab, dusty old mausoleum.
00:27:47Then I'm surprised you keep coming up.
00:27:49There must be something here bringing you back every Christmas.
00:27:53Can I say I love the season of goodwill?
00:27:57Yes, I'm sure.
00:27:59It has nothing at all to do with the bevy of Scottish noblewomen at the ball.
00:28:04That might just have a little something to do with it.
00:28:07Mm-hmm.
00:28:09Well, this was before you two were even a twinkle in my eye,
00:28:14but it was lot fine, and it was this bit.
00:28:23Father, may I introduce Blair Henderson,
00:28:25my father, the Duke of Glenmore.
00:28:27Delighted to meet you.
00:28:28Your Grace.
00:28:30This is Robert.
00:28:32Oh, hello, Robert.
00:28:34Your Grace.
00:28:36This is Robert.
00:28:38Oh, this is younger and better-looking sibling.
00:28:41Robert.
00:28:42So pleased that you could join us for dinner.
00:28:45Yeah, I'm sorry I'm a bit underdressed.
00:28:47Nonsense.
00:28:48I've been keeping this gorgeous creature.
00:28:51And cameras, but you look lovely.
00:28:54I hope your room is comfortable for you.
00:28:57Oh, yes, very, very, Your Grace.
00:29:00This castle is magnificent.
00:29:03Well, shall we take our places at the table?
00:29:06Yes.
00:29:07OK.
00:29:18Is someone else joining us?
00:29:21Ah, there you both are.
00:29:24Good evening.
00:29:25Simply ravishing.
00:29:28Both of you.
00:29:29Lady MacLeod.
00:29:30Kirsten.
00:29:31My father should have told me you were coming.
00:29:33Ah, yes.
00:29:35Their home is being renovated at the moment.
00:29:38Yes, I think I read in Highland Life
00:29:40that there were building works happening
00:29:42at Windrush House last year.
00:29:45Delays.
00:29:47So many delays.
00:29:49Well, it seems Our Annister's been checking up on Kirsten.
00:29:53So you'd know that she's just returned from Oxford University
00:29:57with a postgraduate degree in...
00:29:59What was it again?
00:30:00English, literature.
00:30:02So impressive.
00:30:04Now, let's toast to that.
00:30:08Cheers.
00:30:09Slangevar.
00:30:10Slange.
00:30:12Blair is here working on a film.
00:30:14No, a movie.
00:30:16More a documentary for online.
00:30:19I take after my mother.
00:30:20She's always making these videos that go viral.
00:30:24And she's going to include the perfumery.
00:30:27I thought that was just Mother's little pastime.
00:30:30You're not still keeping it going, are you, brother?
00:30:32As long as Mother was mixing her oils,
00:30:34she was happy as a lark.
00:30:36Happy as a...
00:30:37Did you know that larks are felopatchy?
00:30:39Return to their birthplace each year, every migration.
00:30:42The males more than the females, which is unusual.
00:30:46You would assume the women were more the homebodies,
00:30:49but that's not always the case.
00:30:51Indeed.
00:30:53Very good, Miss Henderson.
00:30:55Duncan, you wish to discuss the Christmas ball?
00:30:58Quite right, quite right.
00:31:00I've arranged for a string quartet from the National Orchestra
00:31:03to play a couple of songs.
00:31:05What a treat.
00:31:06You two always work so well together
00:31:09that we must do so again this year.
00:31:11Put on the best ball this castle has ever seen.
00:31:16Well, actually, I'm quite busy at the moment with the documentary, so...
00:31:20Oh, no, don't let me get in the way.
00:31:23Christmas is really not my thing.
00:31:39Blair, how are you enjoying the cuisine here?
00:31:44It's different to what I get back home.
00:31:48What is it we're eating, Your Grace?
00:31:50It's a small, four-legged animal found in the Scottish Highlands.
00:31:54The legs on one side are shorter than on the other
00:31:57so that it can easily run in circles round the mountains.
00:32:01Makes it easier to catch, too.
00:32:03Father always tells the story.
00:32:05Every time we have haggis.
00:32:07Well, I've never eaten a haggis before.
00:32:11Mm!
00:32:13It's not bad.
00:32:21It's pointless.
00:32:23He's clearly over-reacting.
00:32:26I'm sure he's just trying to impress me.
00:32:29I'm sure he's just trying to impress me.
00:32:32I'm sure he's just trying to impress me.
00:32:35I'm sure he's just trying to impress me.
00:32:38He's clearly over me.
00:32:41No, our only problem is this little busybody,
00:32:45whoever she is, Claire...something.
00:32:49Blair Henderson.
00:32:51Blair, what a ridiculous name for a woman.
00:32:54And what is Miss Comfort-Over-Style doing in Scotland
00:32:57over my special alone time with Alistair?
00:33:00Oh, she is trouble.
00:33:02We have to find a way of shipping her back across the pond before Saturday.
00:33:05Flying her? Well, how do we do that?
00:33:11We find out who she's making this film for,
00:33:13get onto the interweb and goggle her.
00:33:15Google her? Well, whatever.
00:33:22Blair Henderson documentary.
00:33:29Documentary spelt with an A, darling.
00:33:33Nothing. There must be something.
00:33:38What do we have here?
00:33:48Where is it?
00:33:50I'm working on it. I need some more time.
00:33:53But I am working on it.
00:33:55Get me part of the Highland.
00:33:57Do you hear me?
00:33:58Yes. Yes, I understand.
00:34:02And I'm...
00:34:08I'm on it.
00:34:11Sigh.
00:34:30Oh, hi.
00:34:33Sorry, did I wake you?
00:34:35No, I was already awake.
00:34:37Jet lag.
00:34:39What are you doing?
00:34:41I'm making the gingerbread house.
00:34:43Well, trying to.
00:34:45To be honest, I rarely set foot in the kitchen.
00:34:48This is the kitchen, isn't it?
00:34:51I think this calls for an expert.
00:34:54Oh, and who would you suggest at this hour of the night?
00:34:57Uh...
00:35:00800,000 views.
00:35:03My mum's pretty special.
00:35:05To begin with, we need to melt the butter,
00:35:08the sugar, and the syrup in a pan.
00:35:11Worth a try?
00:35:13Yeah.
00:35:15Right, I'm on eggs. Milk?
00:35:17Yes.
00:35:20Your family is so nice.
00:35:22They've been really welcoming.
00:35:25Well, I wasn't expecting the others tonight.
00:35:28Lady MacLeod is an old family friend,
00:35:31and Kirsten and I went out several years ago until she dumped me.
00:35:34She dumped you?
00:35:36How do you make a better deal with a yacht?
00:35:39Well, I find that hard to believe.
00:35:41Which part? That Kirsten and I dated,
00:35:43or that there's someone better than that?
00:35:45Hmm?
00:35:47It's time to get building.
00:35:49Uh, I...
00:35:51I think that's sunny enough.
00:35:53Uh, do you have shapes?
00:35:55Yes.
00:35:57We're going to cut around the triangle.
00:36:02What about you?
00:36:04What do you mean?
00:36:06Your boyfriend, the one who gave you the perfume.
00:36:09I don't have a boyfriend.
00:36:11Oh, and if it was Secret Santa who gave me the gift,
00:36:14I definitely didn't sign up for it.
00:36:16You really dislike Christmas that much?
00:36:18Oh, my dad calls me Scrooge.
00:36:20Ouch.
00:36:22It's just Christmas is so much stress,
00:36:24and it's all about sales, sales, and more sales.
00:36:28You know, in Scotland, it wasn't a public holiday until 1958,
00:36:32so he would have been in good company back then.
00:36:34You're kidding.
00:36:36Right.
00:36:38No, um, Christmas was banned here for 400 years.
00:36:42My mother always loved the magic of the holidays,
00:36:45and she taught my brother and I the importance of all that.
00:36:48Now we carry on her tradition every year with a Christmas ball.
00:36:53Oh, so now I feel bad.
00:36:55Uh, I'm sorry what I said over dinner.
00:36:57Just because I don't like Christmas
00:36:59doesn't mean I should spoil it for everybody else.
00:37:02So you think the gingerbread house was sabotaged?
00:37:06Who knows?
00:37:08Kirsten seems to have one on order from London.
00:37:10And if it's not made here in the Highlands?
00:37:13Are you mocking me?
00:37:15No.
00:37:17No, not at all.
00:37:21It's time to start building those walls, my friend.
00:37:30So this is where you make the heart of the Highlands.
00:37:35Yes, and this is where we mix the perfumes.
00:37:39We use the process of solvent extraction,
00:37:42which means we take the heather,
00:37:44we pour benzene over the flowers,
00:37:47and that creates this waxy material.
00:37:50This was actually made with locally grown roses.
00:37:54Next comes the sticky stuff.
00:37:56We add that to the tub of ethyl alcohol,
00:37:59and we heat it 200 degrees for 5 hours.
00:38:03Wait, isn't that too hot?
00:38:05Isn't it better to be at a lower heat for 8 hours?
00:38:10You know that, do you?
00:38:12I read a book on it.
00:38:14Hmm. Yes, you're right, of course.
00:38:17You can do that at a lower heat.
00:38:19The alcohol evaporates,
00:38:21and what's left is the concentrated perfume oil.
00:38:25Once that's heated, we can mix.
00:38:27And how do you know what quantities to mix?
00:38:31No one gets a hold of that.
00:38:33How do you know if you have the right combination?
00:38:36It's all in my head, don't worry,
00:38:38especially Heart of the Highlands.
00:38:40I remember the day that my mother created it.
00:38:43There was this excited shriek from the other room,
00:38:46and Robert and I rushed to see
00:38:48who would be the first to try the new perfume.
00:38:51I won.
00:38:52Until she died.
00:38:54Well, maybe that's why you don't like so many people wearing it.
00:38:59It was just so special to her.
00:39:03Maybe.
00:39:06Shouldn't that be...
00:39:08Yeah.
00:39:10So how does it all look?
00:39:14Great.
00:39:16Great.
00:39:17Actually, would you mind continuing the interview
00:39:19at my next appointment?
00:39:21My admiration for a Christmas ball never ends.
00:39:32There you are, darling.
00:39:34Oh, it's only you.
00:39:36Kirsten?
00:39:38Who were you looking for?
00:39:40My older and less charming brother?
00:39:43Is he around?
00:39:45No, he is not.
00:39:48Are you sure you want to be chasing Alistair again?
00:39:52I haven't the faintest idea what you're talking about.
00:39:55Are parents playing matchmaker between the two of you?
00:39:58You're just a little bit jealous, Robert.
00:40:01As are you.
00:40:02Of our American friend, the filmmaker.
00:40:05She's not a filmmaker.
00:40:07What the devil does it matter what she is?
00:40:09Everyone can see Alistair is smitten with her.
00:40:12Well, I wonder if he would be so smitten with her
00:40:15if he knew that she works for Finn Rose.
00:40:18What on earth is Finn Rose?
00:40:20Only the best perfume brand in the world.
00:40:22I wear their scents all the time.
00:40:24If she works for Finn Rose, it can only mean one thing.
00:40:28Yes.
00:40:30Yes.
00:40:32She's after your mother's perfume, which means...
00:40:36Which means our product must be somewhat more valuable
00:40:41than I first gave it credit.
00:40:45For even the biggest Grinch,
00:40:47picking out a Christmas tree is fine.
00:40:49You can't tell me you're not enjoying this at all.
00:40:52Well, when I was a kid, I watched a documentary
00:40:56about all the animals that rely on fir trees for survival,
00:41:01and since then I've insisted my parents only use artificial.
00:41:06You really do care about wildlife.
00:41:09LAUGHTER
00:41:11Well, what about this?
00:41:14This work?
00:41:15A handsome tree, but not fit for a ball.
00:41:18OK.
00:41:19So, what was it, then?
00:41:22It's just the demands and expectations this time of year.
00:41:27You mean it's too commercialised?
00:41:30Yeah, something like that.
00:41:32Have you always felt like that?
00:41:34Not always. I mean, as a kid I loved it, obviously,
00:41:39but I guess now Christmas is just a reminder of another year
00:41:44where I'm further away from achieving my dreams.
00:41:47Well, why is that?
00:41:49I'm a small cog in a big wheel, and it's...
00:41:54I guess it's not my turn yet.
00:41:56Well, obviously I don't know anything about the filmmaking stuff,
00:42:00but whatever it is, just go for what you want.
00:42:03Instead of using Christmas as a bad reminder,
00:42:06why not let it be a kickstart to a brand-new beginning?
00:42:11You really do love Christmas, don't you?
00:42:14Yeah, I really do.
00:42:16Especially as an earl, there are certain perks.
00:42:19In fact, I just received a special invitation
00:42:22to a private tasting with the Highland Chocolatier.
00:42:25Did you say...chocolate?
00:42:27Mm-hm. Yeah, but you wouldn't be interested.
00:42:30There'll be jolly music and mulled wine, chocolate reindeer.
00:42:35It'll be awful. Now, wait a minute.
00:42:37You've been really helpful with my documentary.
00:42:40I think it's only right that I help you out with some chocolate tasting.
00:42:45I mean, I can be really useful.
00:42:47That's very kind of you.
00:42:49Well, it's just a little thank you.
00:42:52This one? Yeah, this one.
00:42:57I'll throw a party but it's only for two
00:43:00We can jingle bell rock
00:43:02I got the measure of you
00:43:05Honey, you know your love is too good to miss
00:43:08Well, this year I have only one wish
00:43:12So hear me say
00:43:13Get on your sleigh
00:43:17Don't think Santa would mind
00:43:19If you go borrow his ride
00:43:21Get on your sleigh
00:43:26Boy, your lips are delicious
00:43:28Give me kisses for Christmas
00:43:31The fire's burning and I've filled up your glass
00:43:35Won't you hurry right here
00:43:37I'm in the mood for romance
00:43:40Come take me under the mistletoe
00:43:44And let me know that this feeling will last
00:43:49Honey, you know your love is too good to miss
00:43:52Well, this year...
00:43:54Will you at least tell me where we're going?
00:43:57You wander into the shop as if fate itself decreed it.
00:43:59Buying your Christmas presents.
00:44:00I've arranged it all.
00:44:01Alistair will be in there.
00:44:02Your eyes meet.
00:44:03Mother, really?
00:44:05Darling, trust me.
00:44:06This is how people rekindle love affairs.
00:44:08You bump into each other
00:44:09and you pretend like it's an accident.
00:44:12You say,
00:44:13What are you doing here?
00:44:15What are you doing here?
00:44:17No, no, softly.
00:44:20What are you doing here?
00:44:25Right.
00:44:30Alistair, what are you doing here?
00:44:34Kirsten, I was just enjoying a chocolate tasting.
00:44:37With Blair.
00:44:39Hey!
00:44:40It's amazing in that the chocolates are to die for.
00:44:43Have fun.
00:45:00Where are we going?
00:45:02You'll see.
00:45:03You're going to love this.
00:45:11This is where we're going?
00:45:13I haven't been here in over ten years.
00:45:30This is where my mother used to come to play
00:45:34and create her perfumes.
00:45:36It was her private space.
00:45:38My dad built it for her as a wedding present.
00:45:41It's beautiful.
00:45:44May I film?
00:45:46That's why I brought you here.
00:45:49Come on.
00:45:50Come on.
00:45:51Come on.
00:45:52Come on.
00:45:53Come on.
00:45:54Come on.
00:45:55Come on.
00:45:56Come on.
00:45:57Come here.
00:46:04So, here we are,
00:46:08at the secret perfumery at Glenmorry Castle.
00:46:15Okay.
00:46:21In here is where the first Highland perfumes were created,
00:46:25including the original Heart of the Highlands perfume
00:46:28by my mother, the late Duchess Candace McGregor.
00:46:33Oh, shoot.
00:46:34Battery's died.
00:46:36Oh.
00:46:37Oh.
00:46:38Uh, can I?
00:46:41Of course.
00:46:42OK.
00:46:43Well, perhaps I could let you in on why
00:46:47this perfume is so special.
00:46:51The secret ingredient?
00:46:53Yeah.
00:47:08In here is the oil of a rare thistle.
00:47:15My mother found it on the Isle of Skye.
00:47:16And the moment she did, she knew she had the perfect mix.
00:47:24This is the head note.
00:47:25It's the sweetness.
00:47:32Your phone.
00:47:34Yes.
00:47:35Your phone, yeah.
00:47:36My phone, yeah.
00:47:39And it's my dad demanding my attention.
00:47:42I should probably go see what the old man wants.
00:47:45Of course.
00:47:46I've taken up way too much of your time.
00:47:47But please, you can stay here.
00:47:49And if you'd like, you can try for yourself
00:47:52to make something.
00:47:53Really?
00:47:54You trust me?
00:47:56It's about time someone used this place again.
00:47:58It's been far too long.
00:48:03I won't be long.
00:48:16Oh.
00:48:17Hi.
00:48:24Better hide yourself.
00:48:26Thelma and Louise are cheating.
00:48:33So that's where you've been hiding.
00:48:35Lady MacLeod and Kirsten have been looking everywhere for you.
00:48:40We need to talk to you about catering.
00:48:42Yeah, it's, it's.
00:48:44I tried to warn you.
00:48:49Well?
00:48:51Well, I know it's close to Christmas.
00:48:54But I need to change your mind.
00:48:57Because I know I've been a troublemaker.
00:49:01I want to make things right.
00:49:03Well, I misbehaved in April.
00:49:06And I broke her heart in May.
00:49:10September wasn't all that good.
00:49:12But I hope I'm not too late.
00:49:15I try, and I try.
00:49:22Can you take me off your naughty list?
00:49:25I'll pay you Santa, baby, with a kiss.
00:49:27I try, and I try.
00:49:34I'm a little misunderstood.
00:49:36Believe me, I try to be good.
00:49:45Mom, this is definitely for you.
00:49:57No, Amber, I won't do it.
00:49:59I can't.
00:50:00Blair.
00:50:01No, it's, it's too important to Alistair.
00:50:04It was his mom's.
00:50:06It's part of the history here.
00:50:08Blair, you said so yourself.
00:50:10Miss Freddie won't take no for an answer.
00:50:12You know the formula now.
00:50:13Just hand it over and get your dream job.
00:50:16No, I, I won't do it.
00:50:18I'll just tell her how I can save Finn Rhodes
00:50:22without part of the Highlands.
00:50:25She'll understand.
00:50:26So now you believe in Christmas miracles, too?
00:50:28The Irish heir is going straight to your head.
00:50:31Scottish, Amber.
00:50:33I'm in Scotland.
00:50:42I'm in.
00:51:00Oh, I'm sorry.
00:51:02I didn't mean to interrupt.
00:51:03No, no, not at all.
00:51:04We were just finishing.
00:51:06I just wanted to give you this.
00:51:08It's a little farewell thank you gift.
00:51:11Oh, that's lovely.
00:51:13But you're not leaving.
00:51:15The film's complete.
00:51:17But you can't be finished.
00:51:20Not until you film a room full of sweaty men in skirts.
00:51:26What?
00:51:41No!
00:51:42No!
00:51:43No!
00:51:44No!
00:51:45No!
00:51:46No!
00:51:47No!
00:51:48No!
00:51:49No!
00:51:50No!
00:51:51No!
00:51:52No!
00:51:53No!
00:51:54No!
00:51:55No!
00:51:56No!
00:51:57No!
00:51:58No!
00:51:59No!
00:52:00No!
00:52:01No!
00:52:02No!
00:52:03No!
00:52:04No!
00:52:05No!
00:52:06No!
00:52:07No!
00:52:08No!
00:52:09No!
00:52:10No!
00:52:11No!
00:52:15No!
00:52:18No!
00:52:21No!
00:52:22No!
00:52:29No!
00:52:34Hey, hi.
00:52:35I'm Dustin.
00:52:36Oh, hello.
00:52:41I'm glad.
00:52:42This is so much fun.
00:52:43Do you do this every year?
00:52:49Well, I needed a rest anyway.
00:52:53Duncan.
00:52:54Oh.
00:52:56How lovely to see you.
00:53:04I hope your filmmaker doesn't turn out to be a troublemaker.
00:53:11Oh, I don't think she's been any trouble at all.
00:53:23Well, you all have a seat in my house.
00:53:35Jake.
00:53:37Yes, not bad.
00:53:39Listen, I might just have a little early Christmas present for you.
00:53:46Well, the stock is somewhat different to our norm.
00:53:58Are you enjoying yourself, Miss Henderson?
00:54:00Oh, yes, Your Grace.
00:54:02The best.
00:54:03It's great.
00:54:05My dear, it's such a shame that you have to leave us so soon.
00:54:10Well, you know I could stay.
00:54:12Kirsten and Alistair would have thoroughly enjoyed having you attend their Christmas ball.
00:54:17There, Bob.
00:54:21Perhaps, though, you could return to film the wedding.
00:54:25The coming together of two of the oldest houses in the Highlands, the McGregors and the McLeods.
00:54:32Yeah.
00:54:34Yeah, yes.
00:54:36I suppose I could do that.
00:54:38Good.
00:54:43Oh, um, would you excuse me a moment?
00:54:46Of course.
00:55:12Leaving so soon?
00:55:17Um, well, the documentary's complete and I've got to get back to my parents before the holidays.
00:55:23Without even the courtesy of a goodbye?
00:55:27Um, yeah.
00:55:31Thank you for everything.
00:55:36Can I help you with your bags?
00:55:38Honestly, no, it's fine. I just got these.
00:55:42Okay.
00:55:44Merry Christmas, Alistair.
00:55:46Have a good one.
00:55:49Merry Christmas.
00:55:56Merry Christmas.
00:56:10Goodbye, Scott.
00:56:13Just when I was starting to like Christmas.
00:56:22What was that?
00:56:27Oh.
00:56:34You have a spare, right?
00:56:36Sorry, miss, I don't.
00:56:38You're kidding me.
00:56:57Beautiful.
00:57:02You didn't get very far, did you?
00:57:04No.
00:57:05Uh, we are stuck on a road in the middle of nowhere.
00:57:10Uh, the cab driver has no spare, no tire, no jack.
00:57:17I'll be right there. Any idea where you are?
00:57:20Well, uh, there's some trees and there are lots of fields.
00:57:27It's pretty wet here.
00:57:29Wait, no.
00:57:33No, come back! I need that! I need my bag! I need my purse!
00:57:39Oh! Oh! Oh!
00:57:44So how did you find me?
00:57:46I found you because you were on the one road into town.
00:57:50Now, explain this to me again. A reindeer stole your bag.
00:57:54It's ridiculous. I know.
00:57:56And what was in the bag?
00:57:57Everything. My wallet, my passport.
00:57:59Your carrots.
00:58:00This isn't funny.
00:58:03What am I going to do?
00:58:05Well, you do believe me, don't you?
00:58:07Let's just get you back on the road.
00:58:17I really appreciate you doing this.
00:58:20Well, I couldn't leave you stranded.
00:58:23Look, if we can get you to the Edinburgh Embassy in the next four hours, you'll be fine.
00:58:28Four hours?
00:58:31Your... your perfume, what is it?
00:58:36Just a little gift I made for my mother.
00:58:40You made that?
00:58:43You made that?
00:58:46Yesterday.
00:58:48Blair, it's beautiful.
00:58:51Have you ever thought about working in perfume?
00:58:53Oh, watch out!
00:58:58Um...
00:59:00Right.
00:59:03Stay in the car. I'll handle this.
00:59:05Nope. I can do it.
00:59:09But...
00:59:13Okay. Hello, Mr. Cow.
00:59:16Mrs. Cow. Master Cow.
00:59:18It would really help me. I'd love to stay and chat.
00:59:21But if you could just move... move over.
00:59:24Oh, good. Good. See?
00:59:26That's easy. No big deal.
00:59:28All right. Come on. Go this way. Go this way.
00:59:31Oh, my God! Oh, my God!
00:59:34It's all right.
00:59:36It's all right.
00:59:38All right, everyone. We mean you no harm.
00:59:41Move along. All right?
00:59:43I'm sure you have better things to do than to deal with us.
00:59:46Go on.
00:59:48You did well. You did well.
00:59:53What a day.
01:00:04Well, I told you it was getting late.
01:00:06I really thought it would be open until five.
01:00:08Well, apparently not during the holidays.
01:00:12You need to be getting back.
01:00:14Well, I can't just leave you here.
01:00:16Yes, you can. No, I can't.
01:00:18And besides, it would be madness
01:00:20to try and drive back to the castle now,
01:00:22this time of night, in this weather.
01:00:24But the Christmas ball.
01:00:26If I can leave by ten tomorrow,
01:00:28I'll be back with plenty of time.
01:00:30Come on.
01:00:32Well, I have never been to Edinburgh before.
01:00:34It's a wonderful city. You'll love it.
01:00:36Yes? You know what we should do?
01:00:38What? We should go to the Christmas market.
01:00:40Christmas market?
01:00:42You really want to push this Christmas thing with me.
01:00:44I really do.
01:01:06Merry Christmas.
01:01:36Merry Christmas.
01:01:54So...
01:01:56you sure you'll be okay?
01:01:58Absolutely.
01:02:00I'm just going to tell them I have my passport stolen, my...
01:02:02You might want to change the reindeer part.
01:02:04You are such non-believers these days.
01:02:06Oh, am I?
01:02:10Well, you don't want to be late.
01:02:12Right.
01:02:14Well, goodbye then.
01:02:18Goodbye.
01:02:24No, I'm going to go.
01:02:26But thank you.
01:02:28I have to go.
01:02:30Blair, why don't you just stay?
01:02:32Why?
01:02:34What for?
01:02:36We're from completely different worlds.
01:02:38Is that so bad?
01:02:42I'm needed at home.
01:02:44And you're needed at the castle.
01:02:48I'm sorry. Bye.
01:02:50Bye.
01:03:06Dear Mrs. Burney,
01:03:08please accept this as my formal resignation.
01:03:12I was unable to deliver on my promise
01:03:14of acquiring the formula for the perfume,
01:03:16and I will
01:03:18no longer be returning to Finrose.
01:03:34Blair?
01:03:36Where are you?
01:03:38I'm on my way home.
01:03:40Mrs. Burney is after your neck.
01:03:42Well, you can tell her from me.
01:03:44I just quit.
01:03:46Tell her yourself. She's on her way to Scotland now.
01:03:48What?
01:03:50She decided on direct action.
01:03:52Where is she now?
01:03:54I'd say right now, about a couple of hours away from the castle.
01:03:56Oh my...
01:04:02I need a car and fast
01:04:04to get to Chiff...
01:04:06Chiffley...
01:04:08However you say it, as quickly as possible.
01:04:10So preferably with GPS.
01:04:12It's one of the busiest roads in this weather.
01:04:14It's an emergency!
01:04:20Son, where have you been?
01:04:22Don't you answer your phone?
01:04:24I haven't missed anything.
01:04:26Only my near-heart attack.
01:04:28Alistair, could we talk? It's about the ball.
01:04:30I...
01:04:32What?
01:04:36Ahem.
01:04:42So?
01:04:48What? What is it?
01:04:50I made the most awful mistake
01:04:52breaking up with you.
01:04:54But I've regretted it ever since.
01:04:56I see. Really?
01:04:58How could you ever forgive me?
01:05:00You're forgiven.
01:05:02It just... It wasn't meant to be.
01:05:04But it was! I know it was.
01:05:06Well, you left me
01:05:08for that pretentious son of Lord Brocklebird,
01:05:10and I...
01:05:12And I would give anything
01:05:14to take it back and be with you again.
01:05:16Remember when we went to that ball
01:05:18at the Balmoral with your parents?
01:05:20We danced all night.
01:05:22We were so happy.
01:05:24Everyone said what a lovely couple we made.
01:05:26Yes, but that was a long time ago, Kirsten.
01:05:28We're from the same world.
01:05:30But we're going
01:05:32very different places.
01:05:34But can't you see I'm not like this, really?
01:05:36I hate all this nails
01:05:38and shopping stuff and yachts.
01:05:40I'm a country girl at heart,
01:05:42with the highlands coursing through my veins.
01:05:46Well...
01:05:48Just give it a chance.
01:05:50That's all I'm asking.
01:05:52Sometimes the second time around
01:05:54works out better than the first,
01:05:56because you learn from your mistakes.
01:05:58My mistakes, I mean.
01:06:04Well, I suppose...
01:06:06Oh, Alistair!
01:06:12So, the ball?
01:06:14Yes, I can't wait for the football.
01:06:16Going to be the best one yet.
01:06:18The key to good eavesdropping
01:06:20is not getting caught,
01:06:22Lady MacLeod.
01:06:36Oh!
01:07:00Darling...
01:07:02Highland life
01:07:04has just arrived.
01:07:06And a royal magazine.
01:07:08Oh, you think of everything.
01:07:10Go and dance.
01:07:12Dance with me.
01:07:14Come on.
01:07:32Tabby!
01:07:34Lynne!
01:07:36You're back!
01:07:38Is Alistair in there?
01:07:40I have to talk to him.
01:07:42He's starting, dear,
01:07:44with Lady MacLeod and her daughter.
01:07:46Well, I have to go in there.
01:07:48More than you know you do.
01:07:50And you can't go in there looking like that.
01:07:52Look at you.
01:07:54Come.
01:08:08It's your same idea.
01:08:10We're a couple.
01:08:12It's a shame my darling wife isn't here to see it.
01:08:14And such a shame
01:08:16Miss Henderson isn't here to film it.
01:08:18Oh, by now she'll be at 30,000 feet.
01:08:20But a charming girl
01:08:22on the scene.
01:08:24Real pity that she had to...
01:08:26had to be a thief.
01:08:28Yes.
01:08:30Such a pity.
01:08:41It's wonderful.
01:08:48I'm so happy, Alistair.
01:08:50On Boxing Day I booked us our very own
01:08:52personal shopper at Harvey Nicks.
01:08:54The sales are amazing.
01:08:56Last year I got these shoes
01:08:58reduced 30% to 500 pounds.
01:09:00Us?
01:09:02There is no us, Kirsty.
01:09:04I said I'd think about it.
01:09:10What is she doing here?
01:09:12I don't know.
01:09:14But I'm about to find out.
01:09:20Oh!
01:09:22Duncan.
01:09:24I'm so sorry.
01:09:26No problem, my dear.
01:09:28I'll find Taddy.
01:09:30I'll find Taddy.
01:09:32I'll find Taddy.
01:09:34I'll find Taddy.
01:09:36I'll find Taddy.
01:09:38I'll find Taddy
01:09:40to get my stuff.
01:09:50You look beautiful.
01:09:52You missed your flight.
01:09:54Oh, no.
01:09:56I had to come here. I had to tell you something urgently.
01:10:00What? What is it?
01:10:02There's a Scottish saying.
01:10:04What's for you
01:10:06will not go by you.
01:10:08Please, allow me this dance first.
01:10:10You can tell me after.
01:10:14Okay.
01:10:36Okay.
01:11:06Wait, wait, Alistair.
01:11:08I came here to tell you something,
01:11:10and this is important.
01:11:14Um...
01:11:16My boss is coming over here.
01:11:18Your boss?
01:11:20I'm not a filmmaker.
01:11:24I know.
01:11:26You know...
01:11:28I...
01:11:30I am a sales manager
01:11:32at Finn Rose.
01:11:34And I was sent to buy
01:11:36the Heart of the Highlands,
01:11:38and I needed a story
01:11:40to stick around
01:11:42so I could get the formula.
01:11:44And I'm sorry,
01:11:46but when I saw how much it meant to you,
01:11:48you know, I wasn't gonna go through with it.
01:11:50I see.
01:11:54You see?
01:11:56Are you...
01:11:58Are you mad?
01:12:00I've been meaning to tell you
01:12:02I've been meaning to tell you something as well.
01:12:08Who on earth?
01:12:12Mrs. Ferdie!
01:12:14I don't believe we've met.
01:12:16Alistair McGregor, Earl of Glenroy.
01:12:18I did not send my employee here
01:12:20at my own expense
01:12:22for a holiday.
01:12:24No, you sent Blair here
01:12:26to negotiate a deal.
01:12:28Which didn't work.
01:12:30What?
01:12:32I might be willing to consider a three-year license.
01:12:34Alistair, no, you don't have to do that.
01:12:36Wait, a three years?
01:12:38What are you talking about?
01:12:40That is not what we agreed.
01:12:42No, but it is what we agreed.
01:12:44And who are you?
01:12:46Robert McGregor.
01:12:48It appears our Scots all sound the same.
01:12:50Mrs. Ferdie, I presume?
01:12:52I'm afraid our agreement
01:12:54is somewhat out of date.
01:12:56I've already sold
01:12:58my business to a higher bidder.
01:13:00You what?
01:13:02Fenroy's offer
01:13:04was barely half what I got
01:13:06from Chappelle.
01:13:08You sold it to that bunch of crooks?
01:13:10Robert, how could you do this?
01:13:12The estate is in
01:13:14need of a complete overhaul.
01:13:16And now father
01:13:18will have the funds to do so.
01:13:20This is a
01:13:22waste of time.
01:13:25And Blair,
01:13:27you're fired.
01:13:29Well, I already quit.
01:13:31Check your e-mails.
01:13:45Did I miss something?
01:13:47Oh, your grace,
01:13:49that wretched American returned
01:13:51and your dear wife's perfume was sold
01:13:53from under your nose.
01:13:55Right this minute it's headed to the Big Apple.
01:14:10Ladies and gentlemen,
01:14:12if I may.
01:14:19Christmas balls
01:14:21are about announcements,
01:14:23not business negotiations.
01:14:25Time for us all,
01:14:27ladies and gentlemen, to relish
01:14:29these festivities
01:14:31which all began
01:14:33with my late wife.
01:14:35She taught my boys
01:14:37and I how important it is to surround
01:14:39yourself with family
01:14:41and friends.
01:14:43Ladies and gentlemen, the duchess.
01:14:45Duchess.
01:14:47So, tonight isn't just
01:14:49about music
01:14:51and dancing and the season of
01:14:53merriment. It's also time for
01:14:55people being together
01:14:57with their loved ones.
01:15:01My dear sons, Robert
01:15:03and Alistair, under one roof
01:15:05again.
01:15:07And we welcome
01:15:09Lady MacLeod and her
01:15:11lovely daughter, Kirsten,
01:15:13with her great talent for...
01:15:15History.
01:15:17History. Of course it's history.
01:15:19Forgive me.
01:15:21The history
01:15:23of Kirsten and Alistair.
01:15:25Well, it seems you can't keep
01:15:27two lovebirds apart.
01:15:29Another toast,
01:15:31I think.
01:15:33The loveliest lady of the MacLeod clan
01:15:37and my charming and most
01:15:39dutiful son, Alistair.
01:15:41Please enjoy
01:15:43a wee glass of our finest
01:15:45as the happy couple
01:15:47share a dance. Kirsten and
01:15:49Alistair.
01:16:15Alistair.
01:16:35Alistair, Royal Magazine
01:16:37want to take some photographs of us.
01:16:39Oh, I'm sure they'll want to photograph this.
01:16:41What do you mean? Me packing my bags.
01:16:43I'm renouncing my title
01:16:45and with it all my responsibilities.
01:16:47Congratulations, Robert. What was
01:16:49mine is from now on
01:16:51all yours. But
01:16:53what about us? Oh, I doubt very much
01:16:55you'll want me now. I'm no longer an
01:16:57earl. No, she most
01:16:59certainly will not. But...
01:17:01Father, I'm sorry.
01:17:03But Robert's selling mother's formula behind
01:17:05our backs was the last straw.
01:17:07Alistair, wait!
01:17:09Mother, do something.
01:17:13The new Earl of Glenmory.
01:17:15Perhaps I've
01:17:17had it wrong all along.
01:17:23How could I have been so stupid?
01:17:37All the aromas
01:17:39come from
01:17:41oils which are collected
01:17:43from plants and flowers
01:17:45here at the Hilton. So
01:17:47the first
01:17:49highly perfumes were created
01:17:51including...
01:17:53Wait, who
01:17:55is that? Jake?
01:17:57Yes, yes.
01:17:59Robert, yes.
01:18:01Listen, I've got it right
01:18:03here.
01:18:05The formula, yes.
01:18:07Nobody saw me.
01:18:09Candy from a baby.
01:18:11Oh!
01:18:35Claire!
01:18:37Your Grace!
01:18:39I need to talk to Alistair.
01:18:41Unfortunately for
01:18:43us both, the former Earl of Glenmory
01:18:45is no longer here.
01:18:47The former? Where did he and Kirsten
01:18:49go? Oh, he's not with Kirsten.
01:18:51Kirsten
01:18:53MacLeod is now
01:18:55with the new Earl, Robert.
01:18:57I think their plans are to
01:18:59Christmas together in Thailand.
01:19:01Your Grace,
01:19:03I must speak.
01:19:05My dear, it's Duncan.
01:19:07And please, I think I have to talk
01:19:09to you first.
01:19:11Let's sit down.
01:19:23I've been
01:19:25a complete fool.
01:19:27I've made a terrible mistake.
01:19:29Lady MacLeod
01:19:31convinced me that you were
01:19:33here to steal
01:19:35my wife's precious perfume
01:19:37and that you were also after my son's
01:19:39fortune. But of course I
01:19:41see now
01:19:43how it was the MacLeods all along
01:19:45who were the ones up to no good.
01:19:47So very disappointed
01:19:49in them both.
01:19:51I also
01:19:53see that Alistair
01:19:55is completely smitten
01:19:57with you, just like I was
01:19:59with Candice. She would
01:20:01never have made such a mistake.
01:20:03My dear,
01:20:05can you ever forgive me
01:20:07for sticking my beak in where it wasn't needed?
01:20:09No need to apologize.
01:20:13You're like a mute swan
01:20:15which mates for life
01:20:17and takes care
01:20:19of the marital home, even
01:20:21when their partner leaves this world.
01:20:35Mute swan, eh?
01:20:37You're very good.
01:20:39I like her.
01:20:45Mute swan.
01:20:53Children are singing
01:20:55but this year
01:20:57is bringing me the blues.
01:21:01Now I stand
01:21:03here alone
01:21:05under our mistletoe
01:21:07and I need
01:21:09my baby
01:21:11home.
01:21:13It came home for Christmas.
01:21:15Christmas is for family.
01:21:17I realize that's exactly what I've been missing.
01:21:19We got a guest.
01:21:24Oh, you're
01:21:26too charming.
01:21:35Alistair!
01:21:37What are you
01:21:39doing here? We couldn't leave
01:21:41waiting outside in the car.
01:21:43You left without
01:21:45saying goodbye for the second time.
01:21:47I think it's turning into a bit of a habit.
01:21:49I...
01:21:51I took the first flight
01:21:53out of Scotland to come and find you
01:21:55because I have to tell you
01:21:57something. No, no, no. Let me go
01:21:59first.
01:22:01Robert didn't license
01:22:03the Heart of the Highlands. He sold my perfume
01:22:05instead. What?
01:22:07Well, when you left me to mix my own perfume
01:22:09I left the camera running
01:22:11by mistake and
01:22:13I left my perfume formula
01:22:15on the side.
01:22:17I made it for you, Mom.
01:22:19It's...
01:22:21Merry Christmas.
01:22:31Oh, it's
01:22:33beautiful.
01:22:35This is the
01:22:37perfume formula he stole.
01:22:39When I went back to the cabin it had gone.
01:22:41The film shows your brother taking it
01:22:43assuming it was your mother's.
01:22:45So I spoke to Chappelle
01:22:47and they love my recipe.
01:22:49So the Heart of the Highlands is safe.
01:23:01Oh, maybe
01:23:03we should go outside?
01:23:05Yeah, good idea.
01:23:11So you knew
01:23:13all along. You did seem more
01:23:15comfortable making perfumes than films.
01:23:17Yeah.
01:23:19So why didn't you say anything?
01:23:21Because I didn't want you to leave.
01:23:23Because I was
01:23:25falling in love with you.
01:23:27But now it's too late.
01:23:31Now I am
01:23:33completely and utterly
01:23:35in love with you.
01:23:37But, Kirsten...
01:23:39There's nothing between us.
01:23:41There never was.
01:23:43We would never work together, but
01:23:45you, Blair,
01:23:47you're the one I want to be with.
01:23:49I'll come here if I have to.
01:23:51Or you could come back with me
01:23:53and make perfumes in the castle.
01:23:55That is,
01:23:57if you think you could love me as well.
01:23:59You could make perfumes in the castle.
01:24:01That is,
01:24:03if you think you could love me as well.
01:24:29A new perfume or a sweet cologne, but I only want you.
01:24:37A trip to see Paris or Rome, but I only want you.
01:24:41No cardboard or five-carat stone could possibly do.
01:24:49Cause at Christmas time, I only want you.
01:25:25And today, my blind friends, I am going to take you through how to make a wedding cake.
01:25:39For today's example, I have chosen the classic vanilla sponge.
01:25:46And I would stay here?
01:25:48Not a chance, my dear.
01:25:50So tell me what you want this year.
01:25:53I only want you to bring me some Christmas cheer.
01:25:57I only want to. There's nothing you could give me, dear.
01:26:02That's brand spanking new.
01:26:06Cause at Christmas time, I only want you.
01:26:15Although, you know, a five-carat stone's not a bad idea.
01:26:20Hmm. Well, neither is a boat.
01:26:27Well, there's always next year.
01:27:19Merry Christmas!
