very clearly then, don't you,
Claudia?
Yes.
gifts for a fishing rod you had
seen at Abercrombie and Fitch,
I believe.
It was there Christmas morning,
Claudia, wasn't it?
With a big green ribbon around
it...
and a little reindeer card that
said, "To Dad:
Love, Claudia.For the best dad a kid could
ever have."
I... I remember.
Santa...
I...
I didn't...
I didn't believe.
I... oh, Santa.
Now, now, now.
Thank goodness we were able to
straighten this thing out.
Excuse me, Papa.
Yeah?
Oscar just brought this
message from the weather
station.
Ah, I see the weather's
cleared.
You know, I was planning on
giving you a tour tomorrow.
But with the explosions today,
I think Ed should get you back
immediately.
I agree.
I know they don't plan on
dynamiting until after the
First, but I should talk to them
right away.
I hate to say this, but they
may not believe you.
Oh, of course they will.
Michael will.
We've never lied to each other.
Well, if you should have any
problems...
I'm gonna give you this
prototype of a children's
communicator that we've been
developing.
Oh, it's absolutely
wonderful.
Children all over the world will
be able to talk to each other.
And it automatically translates
for them.
Ed dropped the other
prototype and broke it.
The factory's making--
making a new one right away.
It should ready as soon as
possible, then you'll be able to
contact me any time you wish.
And I have something for you
too, dear.
Please, take it.
How nice of you.
Thank you.
Thank you, Claudia.
I know I'm leaving this whole
matter in very good hands.
Daddy? Daddy?
Where's Daddy?
Daddy, we got something to
tell you!
Hey, Dad!
Dad?
Wake up, Dad!
Where are you?
Oh, thank heavens.
Thank heavens, are you
all right?
We're great-- wait till you
hear about Santa Claus!
Santa Claus?
We've been worried to death,
we thought something terrible
had happened.
Actually, something wonderful
happened-- come here, boy!
Where's Mr. Baldwin?
Oh, well, he's at the office
waiting for word on the short
wave.
You weren't kidnapped?
Oh, no!
If you get these guys off to bed
for me, I'll tell you all about
everything.
All right, let's go.
Come on, come on, let's go!
Night, Mom!
I love you!
Night, love you!
Sweet dreams.
So, when the weather cleared,
I thought we had to get back
right away.
The kids were furious, I can
tell you.
They didn't even get to see the
toy factory.
The toy factory.
Yes!
Look, let's go to the office
right now, and I'll show you the
precise place on Site A where
the field is located.
Site A?
Wait a minute, there's your
answer!
Gaylord!
Gaylord planned this whole thing
to keep us drilling on the wrong
site.
What's that have to do with
Santa Claus?
Claudia, look, you've gotta
understand this.
You and the children, you didn't
go anywhere.
You were obviously given some
kind of a hallucinogenic drug,
and you were held right here
in town.
I don't believe this.
You think I dreamt the whole
thing?
It does seem the best
rational explanation.
I mean, darling, a remote
controlled reindeer sleigh?
A candy cane phone?
Well, then, what about this?
Santa will tell you himself.
Fine, let-- let's call him
right now.
Don't treat me like a child.
I told you, his communicator
is broken!
I see.
And I bought the candy and the
Christmas ornament at the store?
Darling, nobody can slow
time, it's a scientific
impossibility.
And-- and the city you described
can't possibly exist in the
Arctic Circle.
Don't you understand?
Claudia, you were drugged.
Well...
Santa said you might not
believe me, but...
it never occurred to me that
you wouldn't believe me.
I don't know how I feel right
now, but I don't wanna discuss
it any further tonight.
I'm very tired, and I want to
go to bed.
Excuse me.
Honey, what matters is that
you and the children are back
and safe.
The fact that I never lied to
you isn't enough, is it,
Michael?
Sumner and I are flying up
to Site B at dawn.
I'll be back in time to have
lunch with you.
Fine.
But I wanna go with you.
I told you, you can't.
Do you wanna worry Dad
all over again?
No, but you should tell Mom.
If we do, then Dad won't let
any of us go.
So, you see, someone has to stay
here.
Yeah, but why does it always
have to be the youngest?
Anyway, I don't know why they
won't believe us.
You heard Mr. Murdock talking
to Dad.
They think we've been given some
kind of hallucinogenic drug.
What's a hallu...?
It's a drug that makes you
imagine things.
That's dumb.
Santa wouldn't give us anything
like that.
I know!
But right now, there's no way to
make Dad and Mr. Murdock believe
any differently.
We can when Mom talks to
Santa on the children's
communicator.
By that time, with all the
dynamiting, there might not be
any North Pole City.
Why do we have to go over to
IRC and take the company's
snowmobile?
Why can't we just take ours?
Ours doesn't have a large
enough fuel capacity,
that's why.
Okay, Dad and Mr. Murdock have
taken off.
Let's go.
Okay... North Pole City
should be right here.
All we have to do is locate the
entrance.
Yeah, but what if we can't
find it?
Well, we'll still have more
than enough fuel to get back to
Site B, which is right here.
Are you sure we have everything?
The sextant?
Yes.
Extra batteries?
Yeah, and the sandwiches.
Okay.
Let's get going.
Okay, everybody!
Breakfast is on the table!
Hey!
Marianne?
David?
Where is everyone?
They went to warn
Santa Claus.
They left two hours ago.
What? What do you mean?
They left right after Dad
and Mr. Murdock.
They took one of Dad's
snowmobiles.
They had to, Mom, they just
had to.
No one believes us.
No.
Base to Apple Charlie Three?
Base to Apple Charlie Three.
This is an emergency.
Base to Apple Charlie Three,
come in, please.
We're jamming again.
But we should be operational
soon.
When? When?
When can you start dynamiting?
Tomorrow.
Right on schedule--
December 24th.
Base to Apple Charlie Three.
I'm afraid they're out on the
site someplace.
I'll get the plane.
I'll go with you.
No, you keep trying to reach
Michael-- tell him what
happened, and to get my flight
plan from the center.
Base to Apple Charlie Three.
Base to Apple Charlie Three.
I estimate we have about
another hour.
Then we can start searching for
the entrance.
I've sighted snowmobile
tracks, it must be them.
Good, give me your position.
Eight-two miles north of
V.O.R. heading three-five-seven
degrees.
As soon as I can reach
Mr. Baldwin, I'll tell him.
The ice fog is almost on us
and we're lost!
They're in an ice fog.
I'm gonna land and go in
on foot.
I'm now one-five-zero miles
from the V.O.R., still heading
three-five-seven degrees.
Help! Help!
Whoever just landed!
Over here!
We can't see anything!
David! Marianne!
Just stay where you are!
It's Mommy, I'm coming!
