A Firehouse Christmas

Hey daddy.

Mary.

How's the book tour?

I have news.

I'm coming home.

What? Really?

Now?

I thought you had another

two weeks.

Well, I'm gonna bring the book

tour home and Laurie Lawrence.

She's coming to the house

on Christmas Eve.

She's going to do a

retrospective on me

and the release of my new book.

How are the projected sales?

Ok. I guess.

I'm not expecting it to be

a best seller.

And why not?

Have you read it?

Um, no.

I um... I I I haven't

had the-the time. Um...

I sent you a copy.

It's a busy time of year

for me.

I got the annual Christmas

car sale...

Yeah, ok.

By the way... Sadie has not

been coming

to her figure skating practice.

Dad, hold on.

Rob is calling.

I'm going to conference

him in.

Hey Rob, you're on

with James and me.

Mary, I'm on vacation

so this will be quick.

I had sales do some consumer

research

and the general

consensus is

your book would sell

a whole lot better

if you were in a relationship.

What?

They'd rather take

marriage advice

from someone who's married

rather than... single.

It would look really great

if you could have a man

on your arm

for the Laurie Lawrence show.

How about Jess Hardy?

He's rich, has that private

jet you like.

He's a self-centered,

hypocritical jerk!

I sort of agree with you.

Jess won't work.

Well, I have a friend,

runs this dating service.

We could buy someone.

Rob, no.

Brilliant idea, Rob.

Hey, sorry, I gotta split.

Mary, get someone

on your side

for the Laurie

Lawrence interview

or you might be looking at

a dismal book launch.

Ciao.

I know.

I'll ask Tom.

He's your ex-husband.

We're in a custody battle

that's still not finished.

How would that look?

Exactly.

If I were to work

on my divorce...

If your mother were alive

to hear this...

She's turning in her grave.

It's all show, dad.

Once Laurie Lawrence leaves town

we'll revert to the status quo.

He'll play along.

No he won't, he's-he's dating

that fireman.

Woman.

Jenny.

You're forgetting he has

two weaknesses.

Sadie and Christmas.

Horrible plan.

This book was a bad idea

from the start.

I gotta go.

Perfect.

Hello there.

It's Honest Jay,

and it's my favourite

time of year.

The Christmas season.

For the month of December,

if you buy a car from Honest Jay

and it snows on

Christmas Day,

I will give you

that car for free.

Yesiree, you heard me.

My deals are solid gold.

Just ask.

Just ask my best customer,

two-time gold medalist

Mary Hamilton.

The only dealer you can

trust,

or his name wouldn't be

Honest Jay.

Honest Jay.

What've we got, chief?

Abandoned house fire,

kids playing inside.

It doesn't sound like

they all got out.

You ready, Parker?

My god.

My god.

My son!

My son is in there!

Please save him!

It's going to be ok.

He'll be ok.

Please, he's inside!

He's inside!

Please save my son!

The ceiling is compromised,

be careful!

Copy that!

Anyone here?

Fire department!

Is there anybody here?

I'll check downstairs.

I'll check the bedrooms!

Be careful!

Fire department!

Anybody here?

Fire department!

Hey, are you ok?

Parker, I found the kid!

Let's get you out of here!

Come on, it'll be ok.

I got you.

Parker?

Parker, I got the kid!

Parker!

Parker, I found the kid!

Parker, come on!

Parker!

Parker, are you ok?!

I'm stuck!

Save the kid!

Parker!

Go! Save yourself!

Get out of here, now!

I'll come back for you!

Jenny, where's Parker?

Where's Parker?

You're alright.

You're gonna be ok.

Where is Parker?!

That's him!

Is he ok?

Sweetie, are you alright?

Are you ok?

Taylor, what's going on?

Stay back, Tom.

Jenny! Tom, let her do her job!

Jenny!

What're you doing?

Jenny!

It's not safe!

Jenny!

Tom, it's not safe!

Jenny, what're you doing?!

Jenny!

I'm out!

Move it, Parker!

The place is gonna crash!

Jenny!

Stay back!

I owe you one.

We cut it fine that time.

What're you doing here?

We were on our way home

from the hockey game.

Are you ok?

Yeah.

Jenny!

Hi!

What are you doing?

Doctor said if I keep it loose

my knee will heal faster.

You're lucky it didn't break.

You should be at home,

resting.

No thank you.

I need the money.

Besides, it's Christmas,

you know.

Well, just don't hold me up.

Yeah, yeah.

You're buying breakfast.

Yeah.

James Hamilton.

Hey, move that truck!

Move that truck.

I'm in a fire zone,

Mr. Hamilton.

In front of my dealership.

I'm on town council and I've

spoken to the mayor about this.

This is not the fire

department's assigned parking.

Well, actually it's a fire zone

so it kinda is.

Very smart.

You know there's only two

more days until Christmas

and I'm expecting a huge

influx of people.

One of these Christmases

it's actually gonna snow.

I haven't lost that bet

in 30 years.

I'll take a chance.

Daddy!

Mary.

Hey.

Great.

How was your flight?

Splendid.

It's good to have you home.

Let's go eat.

Yeah.

It's good to be home.

You know? You look great.

What do you feel like?

I feel like waffles.

We're getting food.

Waffles?

Food.

You gotta watch

your cholesterol.

There's Jenny!

Get me something healthy.

Hey!

Hi Jenny.

Hey, how are you?

Perfect.

I have gifts for the toy drive.

No way, that's awesome.

So many.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

Hey, how did your

hockey game go?

We won!

Of course you did!

Just a second.

That's great.

I'm sorry I couldn't be there.

It's ok, you were too busy

saving people.

Hey.

Hello my little angel!

Mom!

Hi!

Mary.

Mary?

What... just one...

How are you?

Good.

I had so much fun with dad.

We started a new collection

for the toy drive

and my hockey team is

in the semi-final!

You missed figure skating

practice.

The competition is

in two weeks.

But that's when the hockey

semi-finals are.

Some things are more important

than others.

Honest Jay, please

come to the office.

Sadie, honey, hockey

is for boys.

Us girls, we figure skate.

But there's two other girls

on my team.

It's a co-ed team, Mary.

You know how important

figure skating is to my father.

Don't force your desires

on her.

Dad didn't pick hockey.

I did.

Brainwashed.

Hey, he's a great father.

Jenny, don't you have a fire

to put out or something?

You should have seen

the one last night.

You went to a fire?

A big one.

We were driving by, it was...

And Jenny saved a little boy.

Did she?

Yeah.

And then we went

for ice cream after.

Hey.

So you two are dating?

College friends is what

dad says.

College?

I see.

We met before college

in the Olympics.

Hey, look.

I'm not looking to

complicate things.

Yeah, you've opened

a freight train of complication.

Tom, I need to talk to you.

Privately.

I need Sadie back.

But you said I can have her

this year.

And now I'm taking her back.

It's officially my year.

Don't...

Look. I need your help.

There's a lot of people coming

into town

to celebrate the release of

my book and promote sales.

I need you to play along.

We're repairing things.

Things? What-what things?
