There's a story that has been

5
00:01:54,385 --> 00:01:56,818
passed down for centuries,

6
00:01:56,819 --> 00:01:58,876
from father to son.

7
00:02:00,619 --> 00:02:03,518
Legend has it a
certain man came

8
00:02:03,519 --> 00:02:06,383
to live in the
village of Gladbury.

9
00:02:07,985 --> 00:02:10,218
He was a good-hearted man,

The candle maker brought

But he longed to give them more.

13
00:02:23,052 --> 00:02:25,384
Life was hard in Gladbury,

14
00:02:25,384 --> 00:02:29,339
and the people had
become disheartened.

pouring his heart and
his prayers into each candle.

17
00:02:39,718 --> 00:02:41,784
But on the first
Sunday of Advent,

18
00:02:41,785 --> 00:02:47,351
all he had left to give...
was a single prayer,

not for himself, but for
Gladbury, for his son,

478
00:31:48,064 --> 00:31:49,893
Oh!

479
00:31:52,297 --> 00:31:55,922
I've lost the Christmas Candle.

480
00:31:56,963 --> 00:31:59,495
Oh surely this is
God punishing us.

481
00:31:59,496 --> 00:32:01,163
[BEA] Oh don't talk
like that, Edward.

482
00:32:01,164 --> 00:32:06,460
I was--I was foolish to
think that candle was ours.

483
00:32:24,896 --> 00:32:26,657
Is it all clear?

484
00:32:28,229 --> 00:32:30,058
[BEA]
Seems to be.

485
00:32:32,996 --> 00:32:35,427
[BEA] Edward!
The reverend is here!

486
00:32:35,629 --> 00:32:37,492
Hide the candles!

487
00:32:39,395 --> 00:32:41,328
[DAVID] Mr. Haddington.
Mrs. Haddington.

488
00:32:41,328 --> 00:32:43,123
[BEA] What a
pleasant surprise.

489
00:32:43,295 --> 00:32:45,625
[DAVID] I imagine your
night was eventful.

490
00:32:47,462 --> 00:32:49,485
So is it here?

491
00:32:52,761 --> 00:32:54,727
The Christmas Candle?

492
00:32:54,728 --> 00:32:56,161
Yes, yes it's here somewhere.

493
00:32:56,162 --> 00:32:57,162
Bea, Bea.

494
00:32:57,162 --> 00:32:58,594
Of course you're not
going to show it to me,

495
00:32:58,594 --> 00:33:00,458
but that's not why I came.

496
00:33:01,594 --> 00:33:04,393
The people's requests
for the candle...

497
00:33:04,394 --> 00:33:06,417
...may I see them?

498
00:33:13,795 --> 00:33:15,895
[BEA] What do you suppose he
intends to do with them'!

499
00:33:15,895 --> 00:33:19,088
[EDWARD]
I don't know. Pray'!

500
00:33:19,327 --> 00:33:21,589
That's what we should be doing.

501
00:33:21,761 --> 00:33:24,093
We've got to
make it better, Bea.

502
00:33:24,094 --> 00:33:25,992
Yes, but how?

503
00:33:27,428 --> 00:33:30,053
[DAVID]
All done. Thank you.

504
00:33:30,794 --> 00:33:33,660
You may have one candle
to give, but I hope to

505
00:33:33,660 --> 00:33:36,649
give everyone a little
light this Christmas.

506
00:33:36,794 --> 00:33:37,760
That's it!

507
00:33:37,760 --> 00:33:38,626
What?

508
00:33:38,627 --> 00:33:41,787
I mean... that's a lovely idea.

509
00:33:41,994 --> 00:33:43,727
Well, you mustn't delay.

510
00:33:43,727 --> 00:33:46,426
So much to be done
before Christmas.

511
00:33:46,427 --> 00:33:47,393
Good day to you.

512
00:33:47,393 --> 00:33:49,393
[BEA] Yes, yes, God speed
to you on your quest.

513
00:33:49,393 --> 00:33:51,154
What's got into you?

514
00:33:56,393 --> 00:33:59,086
We give them away. All of them.

515
00:33:59,293 --> 00:34:01,459
And have the
entire village think

516
00:34:01,460 --> 00:34:03,892
they've got the actual
Christmas Candle?

517
00:34:03,893 --> 00:34:05,126
We won't tell them that.

518
00:34:05,126 --> 00:34:06,625
We'll tell them what
this family has told

519
00:34:06,626 --> 00:34:09,456
them for generations:
to light it and pray.

520
00:34:09,626 --> 00:34:12,993
But this is Gladbury.
People talk.

521
00:34:12,993 --> 00:34:16,592
Edward, somebody':
miracle is in this basket.

522
00:34:16,592 --> 00:34:19,490
And we won't let it go to waste!

523
00:34:22,492 --> 00:34:24,124
[WILLIAM] Charlie,
the reverend has offered

524
00:34:24,125 --> 00:34:26,284
to give you Bible lessons.

525
00:34:27,159 --> 00:34:31,125
[William coughs]

526
00:34:31,125 --> 00:34:32,818
[DAVID]
Hello, Charlie.

527
00:34:33,159 --> 00:34:37,818
Why don't we start with the
Gospel of John chapter one.

528
00:34:42,391 --> 00:34:47,091
"In the beginning was the Word,
and the Word was with God,

529
00:34:47,092 --> 00:34:49,758
and the Word was God.

530
00:34:49,758 --> 00:34:52,491
The same was in
the beginning with God.

531
00:34:52,491 --> 00:34:54,624
All things were made by him;

532
00:34:54,625 --> 00:34:59,091
and without him was not any
thing made that was made.

533
00:34:59,091 --> 00:35:03,723
In him was life; and the
life was the light of men.

534
00:35:03,724 --> 00:35:06,124
And the light
shineth in darkness;

535
00:35:06,124 --> 00:35:09,920
and the darkness
comprehend it not."

536
00:35:15,924 --> 00:35:19,723
"And the impediment
to his tongue was loosed,

537
00:35:19,724 --> 00:35:22,451
and he spoke plainly."

538
00:35:24,323 --> 00:35:28,914
Now Charlie, we are going
to loose that tongue of yours.

539
00:35:29,791 --> 00:35:31,450
Open wide.

540
00:35:33,657 --> 00:35:34,986
<i>And...</i>

541
00:35:39,623 --> 00:35:41,146
[DAVID]
Very good.

542
00:35:41,457 --> 00:35:43,116
<i>And...</i>

543
00:35:47,322 --> 00:35:48,288
Louder.

544
00:35:48,756 --> 00:35:52,586
[nonsensical sounds]

545
00:36:03,889 --> 00:36:05,752
Louder.

[knock at window]

547
00:36:29,755 --> 00:36:32,421
Light this and pray, Charlie.

548
00:36:32,422 --> 00:36:35,115
Even if it's only in your heart.

549
00:36:35,321 --> 00:36:37,150
God will hear you.

550
00:36:58,387 --> 00:37:00,253
[DAVID]
Good morning, Mr. Finch.

551
00:37:00,254 --> 00:37:02,087
What brings you to our home?

552
00:37:02,087 --> 00:37:05,087
[DAVID] I understand you
have requested the candle.

553
00:37:05,087 --> 00:37:07,985
I wondered if
I might be of service.

554
00:37:10,654 --> 00:37:12,986
Reverend, meet my family.

555
00:37:12,987 --> 00:37:14,554
My wife, Delilah.

556
00:37:14,554 --> 00:37:15,453
Hello.

557
00:37:15,454 --> 00:37:16,454
[PHINEAS]
Children.

558
00:37:16,454 --> 00:37:18,120
This is my father, Oliver.

559
00:37:18,120 --> 00:37:20,211
[OLIVER]
The new reverend!

560
00:37:20,720 --> 00:37:22,549
[PHINEAS]
Over here, Dad.

561
00:37:22,987 --> 00:37:24,384
Come on.

562
00:37:24,586 --> 00:37:26,285
Don't suppose you
could help the old man

563
00:37:26,286 --> 00:37:28,386
get his hands on the
Christmas Candle?

564
00:37:28,386 --> 00:37:30,252
Maybe put in a word
to the Haddingtons.

565
00:37:30,253 --> 00:37:31,453
[OLIVER]
Hogwash.

566
00:37:31,453 --> 00:37:33,986
The next time I see,
I hope to be

567
00:37:33,987 --> 00:37:36,252
looking at the Good
Lord himself.

568
00:37:36,253 --> 00:37:42,152
In the meantime, I'll walk
by faith, right Reverend?

569
00:37:42,620 --> 00:37:44,142
Right.

570
00:37:47,153 --> 00:37:49,453
Oh thank you.Thank you so much!

571
00:37:49,453 --> 00:37:52,044
It'll be a happy
Christmas after all!

572
00:37:52,952 --> 00:37:57,384
Remember, children,
this is our little secret.

573
00:38:19,419 --> 00:38:23,085
Reverend Richmond! Do come in.

574
00:38:23,085 --> 00:38:26,318
I've been praying for
company, Reverend.

575
00:38:26,318 --> 00:38:29,283
[DAVID] Why waste a prayer
when I can meet the need?

576
00:38:29,284 --> 00:38:33,910
So you'll find me a
knitting companion?

577
00:38:35,584 --> 00:38:39,539
<i>I... shall.</i>

[KIDS]
Coming!

579
00:38:47,884 --> 00:38:50,484
Don't waste a candle
on an old man like me.

580
00:38:50,484 --> 00:38:54,575
Oliver, there's no such
thing as a wasted prayer.

581
00:38:57,650 --> 00:39:00,416
[MRS. BICKERTON] My stove
doesn't work, and my husband

582
00:39:00,417 --> 00:39:04,247
ran off and left me all on my
own with a colicky baby.

583
00:39:04,717 --> 00:39:08,316
Oh, and then yesterday
the wall fell down,

584
00:39:08,316 --> 00:39:10,716
and my goat left me, too.

585
00:39:10,717 --> 00:39:14,479
I shall keep an eye out...
for both of them.

586
00:39:18,717 --> 00:39:21,944
The Reverend fixing our roof.

587
00:39:22,216 --> 00:39:25,049
We so desperately need it.

588
00:39:25,050 --> 00:39:30,783
Speaking of which, Agnes, my
dumpling, hadn't you a request?

589
00:39:30,783 --> 00:39:33,874
[DAVID] Ah, yes,
Miss Agnes Chumley.

590
00:39:34,083 --> 00:39:36,708
But I see it is
an unspoken request.

591
00:39:37,382 --> 00:39:38,882
Well, go on.

592
00:39:38,883 --> 00:39:41,644
A silent request
is no request at all.

593
00:39:42,549 --> 00:39:44,749
I'm praying for a husband.

594
00:39:44,749 --> 00:39:46,873
By Easter.

595
00:40:03,249 --> 00:40:04,648
Mrs. Haddington.

What brings you here?

597
00:40:05,748 --> 00:40:06,914
[BEA] I've come to
let you know that

598
00:40:06,915 --> 00:40:08,781
your request has been heard.

599
00:40:08,782 --> 00:40:11,805
Oh what a dear,
but I couldn't accept.

600
00:40:11,982 --> 00:40:15,573
That handsome young
reverend has been helping me.

601

I see.

602
00:40:31,214 --> 00:40:37,305

01:09:06,394 --> 01:09:08,861
[DAVID] And it came to
pass that a certain

990
01:09:08,861 --> 01:09:12,027
blind man sat by the
wayside begging,

991
01:09:12,028 --> 01:09:17,187
He cried, "Jesus, thou Son of
David, have mercy on me."

992
01:09:17,394 --> 01:09:19,327
And Jesus said unto him,

993
01:09:19,327 --> 01:09:22,260
"What wilt though that
I should do unto thee?"

994
01:09:22,260 --> 01:09:24,593
The blind man said unto him,

01:09:24,594 --> 01:09:27,826
"Lord, that I might
receive my sight."

996

And Jesus said, "Go thy way;
thy faith has made thee whole."

997
01:09:33,994 --> 01:09:36,693
And immediately
he received his sight

Did I not say to you
that if you would believe,

You would see the glory of God.

And they took away
the stone from the

place where the
dead man was lying,

1003
01:09:47,526 --> 01:09:50,025
and Jesus lifted up
his eyes and said,

01:09:50,026 --> 01:09:52,159
"Father, I thank you
that you have heard..."

1005
01:09:52,159 --> 01:09:54,192
And these are written
that you might believe

1006
01:09:54,193 --> 01:09:57,092
that Jesus is the
Christ, the son of God,

and that in believing,
you might have life.

[DAVID] How will
we ever find her?

1269
01:30:14,789 --> 01:30:17,186
[EMILY] That won't do us
any good, not in this.

1270
01:30:19,155 --> 01:30:21,678
[DAVID] It's one of the
Haddington candles.

1271
01:30:27,622 --> 01:30:29,610
[EMILY]
I have three left.

1272
01:30:36,021 --> 01:30:37,816
[DAVID]
Try again.

1273
01:30:50,854 --> 01:30:56,886
[DAVID]Wait! Please,
God, keep Ruth safe.

1274
01:30:56,887 --> 01:30:59,285
Help us find her.

1275
01:31:02,954 --> 01:31:04,886
[DAVID]
Try again.

1276
01:31:05,620 --> 01:31:12,042
Please, God.We need a miracle.

1277
01:31:20,019 --> 01:31:21,849
[EMILY]
What's happening?

1278
01:31:24,986 --> 01:31:27,316
[DAVID]
A miracle is happening.

1279
01:31:31,286 --> 01:31:32,377
[DAVID]
Let's go.

1280
01:31:37,485 --> 01:31:39,281
[DAVID]
Let's go.

1281
01:31:53,852 --> 01:31:55,374
[DAVID]
Ruth!

1282
01:31:55,686 --> 01:31:58,686
Ruth! Thank God we found you.

1283
01:31:58,686 --> 01:32:00,447
[RUTH]
Mr. Richmond.

1284
01:32:01,686 --> 01:32:03,651
You're safe now.

1285
01:32:12,618 --> 01:32:14,846
[baby cries]

1286
01:32:16,152 --> 01:32:18,185
[CHARLIE]
Faster, Uncle, faster!

1287
01:32:18,185 --> 01:32:19,684
[DAVID]
Dear Lady Camdon,

1288
01:32:19,685 --> 01:32:20,785
[WILLIAM]
Charlie...

1289
01:32:20,785 --> 01:32:23,951
[DAVID] Every minister aspires
to leave his mark on a parish,

1290
01:32:23,952 --> 01:32:28,518
but truth be told, Gladbury
has left its mark on me.

1291
01:32:28,518 --> 01:32:30,618
In spite of my best efforts,

1292
01:32:30,618 --> 01:32:33,950
I witnessed many miracles
this Advent season.

1293
01:32:33,951 --> 01:32:36,815
None more remarkable than
my own change of heart.

1294
01:32:37,484 --> 01:32:41,649
If you will have me, I will be
honored to remain in Gladbury,

1295
01:32:41,650 --> 01:32:43,350
for many Christmases to come.

1296
01:32:43,351 --> 01:32:44,384
[DAVID] [to couple]
Congratulations.

1297
01:32:44,384 --> 01:32:47,838
[DAVID]Your miracle man,
David Richmond.

1298
01:32:49,051 --> 01:32:52,108
Ah, the Reverend Richmond.

1299
01:32:52,817 --> 01:32:54,216
Happy Christmas.

1300
01:32:54,216 --> 01:32:56,307
Happy Christmas to you.

1301
01:32:57,383 --> 01:32:59,549
I don't quite know what to say,

1302
01:32:59,550 --> 01:33:02,016
except for there's someone
I'd like you to meet.

1303
01:33:02,016 --> 01:33:03,845
[ELEANOR]
Let me take that.

1304
01:33:05,849 --> 01:33:08,149
[BEA] But you knew
about this all along?

1305
01:33:08,150 --> 01:33:10,383
I had an inkling, but I didn't
know for sure until

1306
01:33:10,383 --> 01:33:13,315
Ruth confirmed
Thomas was the father.

1307
01:33:23,816 --> 01:33:25,509
Are you ready?

1308
01:33:27,849 --> 01:33:30,679
[DAVID] Come,
meet your grandchild.

1309
01:33:31,816 --> 01:33:37,839
Ruth, this is Mr. and Mrs.
Haddington,Thomas' parents.

1310
01:33:38,149 --> 01:33:40,172
I hardly know what to say.

1311
01:33:46,548 --> 01:33:48,776
He has your eyes.

1312
01:33:49,381 --> 01:33:51,347
Have you named him?

1313
01:33:51,648 --> 01:33:54,341
I'd like to name
him after my father.

1314
01:33:54,782 --> 01:33:56,873
He looks like an Edward.

1315
01:33:58,481 --> 01:34:00,606
Isn't that a fine name?

1316
01:34:01,281 --> 01:34:02,770
May I?

1317
01:34:12,681 --> 01:34:14,477
[BEA]
Our grandson.

1318
01:34:20,114 --> 01:34:21,841
Edward.

1319
01:34:36,814 --> 01:34:38,177
[DAVID]
Emily!

1320
01:34:42,947 --> 01:34:44,470
I was hoping, uh...

1321
01:34:47,113 --> 01:34:48,840
Yes;

1322
01:34:50,314 --> 01:34:53,473
I was hoping that we might
spend Christmas together.

1323
01:34:54,880 --> 01:34:57,368
Your first
Christmas in Gladbury.

1324
01:34:58,147 --> 01:34:59,874
And your last.

1325
01:35:01,047 --> 01:35:04,013
Gladbury has a funny
way of keeping people.

1326
01:35:04,513 --> 01:35:08,673
I used to mind it.
I don't anymore.

1327
01:35:22,212 --> 01:35:26,974
Forgive me.The moment
seemed providential.

1328
01:35:35,312 --> 01:35:36,645
[DAVID] Does this mean
I'll be seeing you

1329
01:35:36,645 --> 01:35:38,378
in church from now on?
