since the Cold War this is bad
as bad as it gets
the micro dot contains security profiles

names of security detail alarm code

royal family princess Rose eldest
daughter of his majesty the king fast in

princess L and Prince Robert second and
third in line to the throne respect
Prince Colin younger brother to princess
Rose fourth in line to the throne Colin
does not reside at Kensington however he
visits frequently and oversees his
Majesty's Christmas charity on behalf of
the family the threat and the charity
are somehow connected I'm declaring this
crisis top secret we need our own people
in Kensington ASAP there are two
immediate openings in the stuff we can
take advantage of as a Protection
Officer will nelling Royal nanny who was
suggesting an undercover and undercover
will provide an extra amount of
protection for the world and serve as an
intelligent source to identify the
security breach
we will be outraged if this gets out
they'll claim we were spying on but an
outraged Daniel Talent so
officer Champion you'll go undercover as
the Royal nanny
officer Wallace will be added to the
Palace security detail to accompany and
assist
yes sir
with all due respects that I do not
think I'm the best fit for this
assignment explain yourself I grew up in
a children's home I was never adopted I
never had a family of my own I don't
know the first thing about looking after
children I barely had a childhood of my
own posing as a nanny in such a high
profile environment seems like a normal
starter given the urgency of the
situation you are the only one who can
do it need I remind you of the oath you
took to serve King and Country
no sir I'll do my best good
I'll post a phone call to the
headmistress of Devonshire Academy to
assist with your cover can she be
trusted absolutely
Lansbury is one of our most valued
assets
finisher Academy
founded in 1902 in their 120 years of
proud history they have between
thousands of the best most respected
nannies in the world
Juliet Lansbury has personally
hand-picked the caretakers of the royal
children for the last 30 years
right
you go stand in training and I'll work
security not on your life
well you're qualified you have kids
I don't know if I want kids
Abby holds the fun line with the kids
the kid I'm only backup
it is
play nice
try and make friends
why do you think they call this land's
very scary I have no idea but I suspect
we'll find out soon enough
[Music]
foreign
apparently
Miss Lansbury save the pleasantries I
was read in by DJ Taylor I
think it takes four years of
concentrated study and a Year's service
as a probationary nanny for me to even
consider placing someone in a Royal
household we 24 hours
do you have any Child Care skills
you know
do you have younger siblings no do you
have friends with children oh my partner
has kids
romantic partner work partner
and you ever sit for these children
no but I was a child myself once
thank you
to be a successful Nanny one must be
passionate about children
this is just not a teachable skill I'm
afraid there's simply
[Music]
not early in his Lansbury
I have no doubt you are the best at best
in your field but I too am the best and
best in my field and For Better or For
Worse I might be the only thing standing
in the way I'm eating a threat to future
of the British Empire I swore an oath to
put a text to protect King and Country I
know that I am willing to give my life
for but
I need your help
to keep that Earth in service to the
crown
you're very direct
sincere and uncomplicated all admirable
qualities the only way you have the
slightest chance of becoming possible as
a nanny in the time that we have is for
me to personally oversee your training
[Music]
a nanny is well groomed organized
efficient but flexible she always smiles
always remains calm always nurtures with
love
she is properly prepared for any
situation and Nanny will do whatever is
necessary to stop an attack on her
charge threats come in all shapes and
sizes your response must be measured
promptly and balanced accordingly
this
[Music]
does not provoke and yet it increases
the range and power you have against
even the strongest foes
mechanical acts as a distraction and a
shield against the Foe
and advise you those precious seconds to
measure your responses
every Nanny likes to plan for rain might
even save your life
and
the life of your charge did you spend
time in security service
classified
let Common Sense be your guide
at the end of the day a nanny allows
children to be children
because she knows in her heart love
always triumphs in the end
do you really believe that
about love
I must do I wrote it
page 84 third paragraph
give an adequate time I could have made
an excellent Nanny out of you
even just 24 hours
you're as prepared as I could ever have
made you
I would like to escort you to Kensington
and provide you with the proper
introductions
it's probably going to be the undoing of
my reputation but if it allows you to
protect the royal family from harm so be
it
time appealed enough to make you without
a nanny really
[Music]
Robert I was right I think we're both
old enough to do without one let's see
perhaps we could meet her anyway give
her a chance I'd hate to put someone out
of a job especially during the holidays
and who knows she might surprise us and
maybe you'll even like her there's a
thought come on
how are you Juliet very well mum might I
introduce Miss Carter so nice to meet
you kindness Miss Carter comes highly
recommended by me welcome to the Palace

she'll prove to be the nanny you'll need
right now
I share this as a kindness I'm pretty
sure no one informs you but the children
are prone to Mischief what sort of
Mischief pranks mostly
more often than not the homeless

shrinking violet they all say that at
first

one of our welcome pranks so she's a bit
tougher than the others is she

never fails

nanny

[Music]
Michael Ford and Amanda young both
ex-military
Young's been surveilling The Princess
and the children for some time I can't
be sure if we delayed whatever it is
that she's planning on that
do we have his phone
he managed to ditch it before we took
him into custody and do we have anything
on the van driver entered by the
Transport company contracted with the
Christmas charity
does young work for the Christmas
charity we're looking into it it's tough
primarily by volunteers there are very
few people actually in their employee
and volunteer records were spotted by us
right let's retrace four steps see if we
can't find a phone
him yet
all across paths it was named England's
most eligible bachelor by the times
why do you know that
Abby told me
doesn't everyone want to find that
Prince Charming
as much for Prince Charming with my
hello hi do you ever lost around we do

phone here yesterday oh we did have a
folder turn up

dear violet
I'm a criminal I'm about to be taken
into custody I dropped my phone in the
Christmas lot then come back to recover
it or get it from the lost and found
we're headed from my house
Collins residence has there been a
change of plans Hutchinson security
protocols
delaying our travel orders until the
last minute for best leagues
how was school today
have either of you given any thought to
what you want for Christmas
[Music]
I bet you both loved getting socks
perhaps
laundry soap dental floss
shoelaces bowling balls of egg tweezers
toe hand clippings a bag of toenail
clippings ew he would possibly want a
bag of toenail clippings for Christmas
well I suspect absolutely no one
anywhere ever lived I was just trying to
get you both to break your bowel silence
well played you're not like all the
other nannies are you I most certainly
am not and I intend to take better to
compliment you to not intend it to be
[Music]
hello children welcome to fogmore I'm
prize calling security now thank you oh
hi
good come on in
thank you Nanny you will not be needed
for the rest of the afternoon I'm on
duty I must remain with children at all
times there's no service you can provide
my niece and nephew over the next few
hours that I cannot perform diligently
and your presence will only impose upon
our privacy hmm
I'm gonna need to clear that with
Princess Rose and by all means feel free
and after my sister has told you exactly
what I've just told you you can remain
outside until we're finished
[Music]
I see you made another far spend among
the Royals that was my doing
[Music]
Wallace what's going on something
triggered the silent alarm in the
kitchen
I'm on my way
[Music]
I'm afraid you've caught me
if it's not too much to ask could we
keep this between us
[Music]
Stand Down
all clear false alarm what's all this
someone took the silent alarm mom what
silent alarm heightened security
measures were in store today why was I
not informed Miss Morgan should have
briefed you
at the top of my list for the morning I
am so sorry I think this is all my fault
I came down to make a snack and I must
have set off the alarm
what's your name officer
Wallace mom officer Wallace from here on
out I wish to be briefed directly on
matters of security
do you understand yes Mom I'll make sure
of it
oh you wish to be brief right now yes
please very well
we've been made aware of a credible
threat against you and the children we
responded with heightened security
measures and additional security detail
should I be concerned
we take all of the Vets against the
crowd seriously for now allow us to do
the warrior for you ma'am we are very
good at our job and we are well trained
and we are dedicated to keeping you and
your family safe
very well thank you all this
I think we've had enough excitement for
one evening everyone should make their
way back to bed
sweet dreams to all
Claire stay behind would you
oh of course
thank you for covering it things a lot
it's my pleasure
poker
there we are thank you
it's delicious
it's a family recipe handed down from
generation to generation you'll come to
find the palace as a special place to be
at Christmas time
how are you getting on
oh uh
well I I think
why what have you heard oh well I'm not
one to spread Palace gossip well say is
you really seem to be holding your own
fair enough
[Music]
Edward away and perhaps take on more
than my fair share of Royal duties and
add to that the state of heightened
security
admittedly
I'm struggling
gosh I feel so guilty even saying that
out loud no I have so much help and
and so much to be grateful for
it troubles me when protocol dictates
that I spend more time in the company of
my loyal subjects than than with my own
children
and here I am trying to make up for it
in the middle of the night with packed
lunches it's
sir isn't it
no
form
as Miss Lansbury would say if she were
here
your children just want to know that you
are engaged and present in their lives
so if pack lunches is how you do that
then so be it thank you
that does actually make me feel slightly
less terrible
cheers
I think we can make that work Robert
we've managed to make time for me to
help with your project on Thursday night
owl we're working on scheduling a video
call for father I'm afraid it's a bit
tricky I keep running into military
protocol restricting non-military use of
the secure satellite during deployment
we'll keep trying I have faith in you
foreign
[Music]
[Music]
[Music]
okay
that's what how did you manage so many
ornaments well I'm only as prepared for
any situation
speaking of women we're not doing rap
how difficult was it for you to schedule
a video for someone
difficult not impossible
requires a lot of network depends mostly
on schedule an unavailable time when we
secure satellite and bend in their World
War II
could you see about scheduling a call
with the family and advert
I'll look into it
so have you sacked that annoyingly
clever new nanny yet
I'm afraid Claire may be with us for the
duration
leave yourself
[Applause]
outstanding well the children have
certainly outdone themselves it wasn't
the children
it was Claire
what no no I don't believe that it's
true she made the effort to win the Nova
and it seems to have worked they thought
it was the funniest thing they'd ever
seen she comes across as so prim and
proper well there's clearly more to how
the meets the eye
I know she's only been with us a short
time but I feel as if I can confide in
her
are you sure that's wise you have been
wrong before
I'm only looking out for you I know you
are
it's sweet
I can't quite explain why you call this
intuition if you will but
something tells me Claire has all our
best interests at heart
very good Robert it's getting better
I'm so sorry to interrupt I've managed
to surprise but
few more minutes with the scarce
satellite come here Robert
terribly where are you
wow Robert's been practicing his violin
he's been working so hard on my privacy
shall we've been brilliant haven't you
you're always stepping your duties
[Music]
you can call is not as difficult as you
made it out today
Rose protocol exists
[Music]
could you look into Olivia for me see
what you find
nothing I don't trust about her
okay
thank you for the lovely surprise
it's pulled a few strings with Wallace's
help thank you Wallace my pleasure mum
we're so accustomed to things being
asked devices
rare when someone presents us with such
a selfless and thoughtful kindness
[Music]
[Music]
you were right they found something on
that phone
young used her access through the
charity to get a little too close for
comfort to the Royals I need you to
extend the scope of your watch to Prince
Colin
are we looking at him as a suspect or a
Target he must be open to any
possibilities history teaches us that
even the best of men would commit
unspeakable acts to sit upon the throne
[Music]
consider me impressed
no really
princess Rose does nothing but sing your
praises
your instincts are very good you just
continue to follow
I could use your instincts in them a
delicate matter
do you think Holland is capable of
harming his family using Kizi language
don't waste your time he adores his
sister and he loves those children as if
they were his own but even if it meant
wearing the crown
the crown is not something Colin aspires
to
our prime suspect has gotten close to
Colin and charity so I've been ordered
to include him in my watch
[Music]
let's move things over
please if Colin is not involved he might
be a Target
I can't protect him if I can't get near
him
[Applause]
I know
[Music]
look who it is Hello thank you Nanny
your services will not be required
I'm invoking the Lansbury Nanny protocol
a land for an animal must always be
within Arm's Reach of her children while
on duty if you interfere with
performance of said duties I will be
forced to inform this landsborough
herself and you will have to deal with
her directly and in person
it Poppins
as I was saying before you interrupted
me you're welcome to join us however
your entry is conditional
on what I'm proving that you can have
fun
[Music]
challenge accepted
welcome to my home
[Music]
I love the Christmas decor I keep it up
year round
every day is Christmas at Uncle Collins
are they being serious they're just
teasing you
it looks like Santa's Workshop in here I
think it's important that we be Hands-On
in our charity work so we wrap as many
of the gifts as we can ourselves I
didn't know the children were involved
in the charity it's their first year
they aren't exactly thrilled about it
but that's because they have yet to
learn that hard work builds character
at first glance I didn't take you for a
Christmas cheerleader no
perhaps we're both worthy of a second
class
with her yeah really yeah we really do
need a fourth sorry a fourthful watch
[Music]
all right then go
uh it's shoe laces doing your laces
um your dancing
um ice skating ice skating yes
[Music]

[Music]
love
[Music]
um flies
um
that's game we transcuse no the girls
win well the children seem to have taken
quite liking to you not something that
I've witnessed with previous mayonnaise
and I admit you do know how to have fun
thank you
what do you say should we induct Claire
into the Royal Fun Club the Royal Fun
Club you're in the headquarters okay
it's a place where there's no Royal
protocol only good fun and games it's a
place where Royal children can be
children
we need to have a proper ceremony yes it
affects me my sword
[Music]
a please
thank you uh please take a knee Ms
Carter i dub thee Dame oh Carter
rise Dame Carter order of the Royal Fun
Club
thank you thank you wanna know
how long have you been involved in the
Christmas charity since I was about
Robert's age well I think it's a very
worthwhile endeavor I'm glad you feel
that way
how would you feel about volunteering
for us tomorrow while the children are
at school
I'd love to
wonderful
[Music]
great thank you for putting those
together so you're going to bring those
over to the
uh to the van just over there thank you
this is quite the operation I'm glad
you're impressed are you ready to get to
work
absolutely
can I ask you something certainly
why do you put so much effort into a
charity that um
that you don't really have to
oh I think what you're trying to say is
Colin why don't you let the staff handle
the day-to-day while you work on your
Polo game
essentially yes
well
I suppose it's selfish really growing up
as a royal as I'm sure you can imagine I
was lavish with all sorts of extravagant
gifts at Christmas time and it didn't
take long for the novelty to wear off
through the charity I've discovered that
giving gifts brings me much more joy
than any gift I've ever received no
matter how Grand
[Music]
James Wilder the richest man in England
trying to get him to donate it's like
trying to pull teeth from someone who
has no teeth James welcome
we start taking requests from children's
houses in October I like to think of us
as being in the business of Christmas
wish for films it's called a business
would mean it was profitable the idea is
to acquire a gift for each and every
child who participates so they have
something to look forward to for the
holidays the exact thing they ask for
well I feel my money would be better
served elsewhere what can I do to
convince you
I can tell you first hand the difference
a Christmas charity can make in a
child's life
please enlighten me I grew up in a
children's home
Christmas charity was a constant you
could rely on it made Christmas special
something to look forward to despite not
being able to spend it with our families
I would rather establish programs to
help the children overcome their
circumstances and provide them with a
luxury for one day
I understand that but a toy is not a
luxury it's it's a hope and joy it
reminds us that the world cares and you
can't assign a value to that in Ledger
because it's Priceless The Joy receiving
a gift on Christmas Day can give a child
can Empower them to take on even life's
most difficult of circumstances
where did you find this ringer collie
Claire is Nanny it's my niece and nephew
you're the nanny yes
if you want one toy for one child
you know if it brought you Joy maybe you
could buy more next year I will
personally donate a hundred pounds if if
you agree to match my donation um uh how
many children does 200 pounds provide
for that would secure gifts for four
children four
poor children who have a much happier
Christmas because of you
come on don't you believe that a genuine
act of kindness around the holidays can
fill a child's world with hope
how many gifts sure tell you of making a
quota
oh roughly a thousand
I'll cover what remains
thank you thank you truly this will make
a tremendous difference in the lives of
so many children
it was a pleasure to meet you Claire
the pleasure is all mine sir
sorry
I have been after him for ages yeah you
know I think he took Sinister to light
and turning me down year after year
I don't know how to thank you
you are
not like the other nannies
children
the children I need to get the children
yes you should right now of course
goodbye
[Music]
foreign
things you might take us Christmas
shopping you want to buy a gift for
Mother we'd like it to be a surprise
absolutely
what were you thinking
[Music]
my main concern is being recognized by
any Royal Watchers and causing a scene
maybe you can shop for them
the point of this is that they want to
do it themselves Claire is right he
wanted to pick out a gift for her
together
[Music]
I'll call in the backup detail
[Music]
we have the store locked down for 30
minutes plenty of time
[Music]
any idea what you want to get your
mother
it's difficult to shop for her she gets
so many gifts all year round not just
for Christmas
that's a tough one what about getting
your mum something you can experience
together the shallow puzzles
she does she told us how much she
enjoyed them when she was our age
[Music]

[Music]

taking more than a passing interest in
clap
I take great interest in anyone charged
with the care of my niece and nephew
do you like her
well absolutely clouds proven to be
wonderful with the children
I'm glad to see you've come around
I'm so I'm sorry to do this to you
Robert but I won't be able to help your
project tonight

made you'll be flying out of Heathrow

though can't we how about a pancake to
go with the chocolate milk wash it out
[Music]

out of Heathrow this evening do I want
to know why
it's a matter of domestic security
only DG Taylor can give that all though
but um I'll put in the request
thank you
okay
oh
[Music]

so this must be what they meant by
reindeer games
our plane was grounded with mechanical
issues
as soon as I change we will all work
together on Robert's project come play
with us first and we have work to do
please pretty please just one game
one game but you have to be the reindeer
I think Claire is doing a terribly good
job of being the reindeer
hello again
hello again
yeah it's all play Oh shall we well
I do think that it's my sworn Duty as a
member of the Royal Fun Club
okay not even close
[Music]
[Applause]
screaming for my face
[Music]
all of Christmas
[Music]
well I stand corrected I believe that my
sister is the superior reindeer I'm sure
it's all good practice for wearing a
crown one day
uh clerk you can take the rest of the
evening off
Colin would you care to join us
I think I'll make my way home as you
wish say goodnight children nice good
night
bye
well
seems we both unexpected to have the
evening off
[Music]
if you're interested I could give you a
guided tour of the palace Gardens but
Christmas displays a Christmas light
display is quite spectacular this time
of year yes no I like that thank you
very good
I grew up here you know
still feels like home
difficult for me to feel at home
anywhere
Casa being an orphan
never really sure go on solid footing no
matter where you stand
we were never adopted
no I'm sorry that must have been
difficult
no it's all right I didn't grow up in a
Dickens novel
everything turned out all right in the
end
it seems to me as though my sister is
rapidly coming to treat you as if you're
part of the family
and children as well
you know I owe you an apology
regrettably our introduction was not my
finest hour
my actions were childish and you quite
rightfully uh put me in my place apology
accepted
I admit you did look absolutely
ridiculous covered in spaghetti and I
loved it
children
they look up to you
have you given any thought just running
a family of your own
I'd like to think my heart is open to it
although I I do have trouble trusting
anyone from outside of the family
I think
like
two sides of the same coin
growing up without a family I find it
difficult to trust anyone other than
myself
well
[Music]
I both be brave enough to take a chance
on trusting each other
[Music]
sir I need you to come with me
immediately why what's happened CJ
Taylor of mi7 has requested a
face-to-face to brief you on a security
matter
uh but
right now yes sir
price
yes sir
Claire I'm sorry apparently I need to
cut our outing short
I completely understand
good night good night
good night
[Music]
hasn't been development in the case
I don't have any more information than
you do
Amanda Young
she volunteers for our charity we
believe she poses an immediate threat to
princess Rose and the children possibly
even yourself I've received countless
security threats over the years young
has a military background and was in
possession of these security protocols
for Kensington only someone within the
trusted Inner Circle of the world family
could obtain this information and she's
been surveilling for sister and the
children for quite some time
this isn't a security briefing it's an
interrogation it looks that way
because they've been thoroughly vetted
the vetting process only works if
they've been convicted of a crime knot
if they're planning one and what more
can you tell us she was a hard worker
she only joined our efforts this year
I honestly don't have anything else
about this woman perhaps you could take
a step back from the charity this year
postpone the enrollment of the children
the charity does not function without my
involvement stepping back is not an
option I will however yield to rows in
all matters concerning the children
gentlemen
my sincere hope is that you are both
very good at your jobs and this will be
the last time you ever need to speak on
this matter
yeah why not
recording is capable of doing anything
to put a family in Danger Don't Fall
prey to the Royals charms I need you to
remain professionally dispassionate on
this assignment you must be willing to
go where the evidence leads you yes sir
can we use Ford's Mobile device to map
his route to the charity drop maybe
catch him on CCTV take some time but yes
well exactly are we looking for and find
out where that package he was carrying
came from
perhaps it would be best if you and the
children kept a low profile until the
threat is contained cancel the Christmas
party nonsense
I won't hear of it
I want my mind to have a somewhat normal
existence and I refuse to allow Our
Lives to be guided by fear
price what's your professional opinion
I assure you so with the heightened
security protocols the palace is the
most secure place in the country at this
moment
um
[Music]
[Applause]
are you trying to collect more I want to
sample one of everything to see what I
like best
[Music]
foreign
what are you doing out here to be honest
this is my least favorite part of the
charity business being in the spotlight
I would much rather spend the evening
with all of you well perhaps
we're done together no no save
yourselves
I just wanted to say hello before the
evening got started
hello
what's all this
you two actually attend on one condition
I would like Claire to attend as well as
my guest
[Music]
play
for it
that is
very nice but what about the children
I'll call on the night nanny a little
early
okay
I'm happy to lend you a gown if you need
it thank you
but I think I might have something for
just such an occasion
Splendid you know I must confess
all our lives do seem to be a bit
brighter with you in it
I'm grateful
[Music]
let's go
chin up off we pop
[Music]
thank you
[Music]
your highness good evening your highness
how have you been
[Music]
thank you
[Music]
[Applause]
ah excuse me
[Music]
you look stunning as always
you've hardly seen me in anything but my
uniforms I stand by my statement
[Music]
thank you for coming
hello hello good to see you this is
Claire hello lovely Smith thank you so
much for being here
[Music]
being with the children has
[Music]
brought out something in the eye I
didn't know was that you see I was the
older kid always looking after and
protecting the younger children at the
Children's Home
that's why I went in line of work that I
did
you may be lying about what you do but
you're not lying about who you are thank
you
Merry Christmas miss Landsberg Merry
Christmas dear boy
I need to thank you you have sent us a
true gift from Claire she has exceeded
even my greatest expectations for her
service
as always it's a pleasure to see you now
if you don't mind excusing us there's
something I need to show Claire by all
means
[Music]
it's a surprise
[Music]
thank you
I've never been in this room before this
is where I keep someone's presence so
Robert and Ellen find them before
Christmas morning
oh it's so beautiful
every year I try to create a different
display and I give Robin now a Christmas
Tree Walnut on Christmas Eve we all
gather together in the living room and
put up all the decorations they've
collected over the years
I've been doing it since they were born
so I suppose it's a family Tradition now
it's very thoughtful
it's nothing much just
special memories from here no those are
the things that matter the most
from the heart that
Timeless and priceless
[Music]
idea
Rose would like the children never
humble upbringing and so I
try to encourage them to appreciate the
simple things in life
and
to be grateful for for having each other
the love of a family is
very special indeed
last to have you
truly I am the lucky one
[Music]
okay
um to the ball the ball right we should
go back to the ball back to the ball
that's
[Music]
we used the recovered phone to reverse
engineer the Courier's route to the
charity kiosk
[Music]
the package containing the micro dot
originated from Colin I can't assume
column passed along security it would
have access to it what does Ford have to
say are you still not talking now Colin
is not the bad guy how can you be subtle
because I've spent time with him and
believe me I have spent time with some
pretty unsavory characters in this line
of work and Colin stands above them all
would you trust him with your life I
would yes that would be a mistake I
warned you against falling prey to the
Royals charms
uh if you feel my Integrity has been
compromised
perhaps you should remove me from this
case the only way through this is
forward it was still the best asset we
have in the game you've managed to get
close to a family no Outsider should be
able to get close to
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
I grew up here in this exact home
once I left I never thought I'd back
sort of like being listed by the guests
of Christmas Past
oh
well that's all quoted because I am the
Ghost of Christmas
presents
[Music]
okay thank you
right yes
[Music]
all right now why don't we all open our
gifts together on the count of three
ready one two three happy Christmas
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
thank you
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
[Music]
foreign
[Music]
I feel it best to explain
my name is Claire Champion not Carter
I'm with security service we covered a
credible threat against you and the
children and deemed it best to place me
here undercover as an added layer of
protection for just such an occasion
thank you for protecting my children
I'm sorry
to tell you this but um
but they took Colin
[Music]
what can be done to bring him home
safely
you are relieved of your assignment I'll
take it from here
sir if it's all right I'd like to stay
here and see this through together I'm
relieved of the assignment that's an
order I'm sorry who exactly are you DG
Taylor my first priority at this moment
is tending to my children the only
person in this room I trust right now is
Claire everyone else needs to leave
immediately but we need to brief you on
the situation because the champion will
brief me on anything I need to be
briefed on
is that understood
[Music]
yes ma'am
now I promise you I would do everything
in my power to bring calling home safely
[Music]
I know you will
I owe you one
it's what we train for
the day we hope never comes something
just doesn't fit does it
I don't follow
y'all knew who I was
she recognized you from the market no no
she called me by my real name not my
alias
probably someone inside Tim's house
could have given it to her exactly
officer prices missing after the
exchange
seems he was taken as well
I want leads us to come in immediately
we traced Prince Colin secure phone and
led us right back here
where this package was delivered
addressed to you it's been cleared it's
safe to open Prince Colin's her
girlfriend is inside
[Music]
thank you
of champion
hello officer champion
children are safe
thank you for that
these are not so lovely people have a
list of Demands for my safe return I
would tell
us you're out of this
thank you Claire
[Music]
they want The Courier Ford released
along with a dry containing 50 million
crypto I'll tell you from the piano and
see how he wants to proceed shouldn't
this be up to the family the family has
no say in this whatsoever this is a
matter of state now
I don't like how Dale is handling this
there's something about it that doesn't
fit and you don't get to be the head of
these security service by winning a
popularity contest
we call to a flag on a living mortgage
Financial records maybe connected maybe
not I knew there was something about I
didn't trust
let's bring her in and see what she
knows
[Music]
because Morgan it's come to my attention
that you had some financial difficulties
that were recently resolved by a series
of large cash transfers
Financial issues make something a prime
target for coercion from 11 and outside
sources
are you saying you think I'm involved
with Collins abduction you had access to
all the security protocols you had
access to my itinerary the day of the
funds came from the mirror but how am I
here
I was selling them gossip of other
family
if I'm not a kidnapper
they were particularly interested in a
budding relationship between Prince
Colin and the Royal learning my role at
the palace is classified
any information you dive out going
forward would be considered an act of
treason punishable by 10 years in prison
foreign
what's this
a letter of termination from Princess
Rose
to immediately
[Music]
the pm has ordered a national emergency
and convened Cobra as at this moment
we've been ordered to stand down so the
PM is making a grave mistake it's his
mistake to make
an expert and the crisis planners and
the politicians who can get up to speed
it will be too late
it's been one
entire time
someone in terms house is behind this
entire operation your feelings for the
prince are blinding you the evidence is
plausible enough to point to him as The
Mastermind behind this entire Endeavor
by getting yourself kidnapped he's
planned to take the children failed he
improvised
it's personal for you do you have
something against him against the family
against Royals in general you are out of
line officers yes sir I am in line
because you keep trying to take this
piece of the puzzle that simply doesn't
fit and pulls it into something you are
suspended from active duty turn in your
credentials and pray but I don't have
you decommissioned
foreign
it's not the best way to begin Christmas
if an investigation hits a dead end you
have to go back to the beginning
that did end may not be as dead as you
think
thank you
[Music]
young and Ford served with him in the
SAS I'm sorry how do you know all this
I have eyes and ears everywhere
[Music]
no
we shouldn't give this to you there's
not much going on in this city that I
don't know about
my sources tell me
Ford and young the former mi7 how could
we have missed that they were
decommissioned and their involvement in
the security service was swiped off the
record so they became ghost agents for
our book missions and it's rather like
something right out of the Christmas
carols
but Taylor must be behind it why the
word is that the powers that be were
cutting the mi7 funding even considering
absorbing it into a newly formed joint
Security Service Creator National crisis
save the day it does prove how essential
you are precisely now I'm counting on
you to bring my dear boy back home
you'll be a bully
I was Collins Nanny back in the day
who do you think gave me the nickname
scary Poppins
[Music]
[Music]
[Applause]
this had better be good Colin security
detail officer price he's not missing
he's in on it
my sources are correct colonies inside
that's pretty good well they're
preparing to release food with the
ransom so we better be quick
[Music]
it has to be I put my life on it
what's the plan are you just going to go
down the chimney
like Santa Claus
[Music]
thank you
[Music]
we have to be smart about this and do it
my way wait a minute I feel like
Christmas Eve takeaway
[Music]
wonderful hungry thank you
I'm in
[Music]
there's somebody coming your way
[Music]
[Music]
[Music]
laughs
[Music]
hello again hello again had to trust me
was everything you told me about
yourself true or was it all a cover
story no I only lie to you about what I
do
not who I am
[Applause]
I trust you stay behind me
[Applause]
[Music]
you can't be gone
[Music]
foreign
[Music]
I've got it
you are quite amazing
Mrs Lansbury would be proud
[Music]
what's the meaning of this it's over sir
we know you're behind it all attempting
to frame Prince Cullen
they might have worked had officer
Champion not protected the children
everything I did was for the good of a
service I had to prove that we are
essential to the safety of the country
it was the only way and maybe what you
believe but you can never do right by
doing wrong
you'll see it's the job
changes you I think it just makes you
more of Who You Are
[Music]
[Music]
oh
you're crushing me
thank you for bringing him home it's my
pleasure
and you know we actually brought home a
straggler from the North Pole
ho ho ho ho Happy Christmas one and all
[Music]
how did you pull this off the
introduction triggered military safety
protocol so Edward was relieved back to
duty immediately
it's a Christmas fish come true
what did You Wish For by the phantom
um
to spend Christmas here with you and
your family
hello

she's right here
just a moment
it's for you thank you
Cloud champion
yes your majesty
[Music]

no absolutely
thank you
[Music]
the king just invited me to spend
Christmas it's handringham
wow that's highly unusual
father's not usually one to invite mom
and family members this is quite an
unusual break in Royal protocol
eclair is family and if my brothers are
smart as he thinks he is he'll make it
official sooner than later
[Music]
[Music]
hello again American
I guess Mr Lansbury was right
love does triumph overall
