00:00You've made some sort of machine for the store, Murdoch?
00:09Yes, sir. It's an automated gift wrapping machine.
00:12It can wrap gifts of any size, within reason.
00:15It's not like you to make something so frivolous.
00:18It's an intricate mechanical device, sir.
00:21While you were setting up, did you happen to see the Empress Josephine tiara?
00:24Uh, no, I did not.
00:25The owner of Kellner Toys is displaying it here today.
00:29Then she's putting it up for auction and giving the money to the Children's Hospital.
00:33And making a big hullabaloo about it.
00:35Oh, tell me about it.
00:37The Lady Soxie litany is putting on a ballet with Anna Pavlova herself for the Children's Hospital Fund.
00:43And even though I am doing most of the work, you don't hear me growing about it.
00:46You've told half the bloody town about it.
00:49Thomas!
00:50Sir, um, this is it.
00:52Toys go in and, uh, and wrapped gifts come out.
00:56Oh, crikey.
00:58Wonders will never cease.
00:59Violet.
01:01Oh.
01:02Well, Ellen, I must say I'm surprised to see you here.
01:05Oh, don't worry.
01:06I won't rail against guardian materialism.
01:08Good.
01:09Even if it is a horror...
01:10I am trying to embrace Christmas more.
01:12I bought myself something extravagant.
01:14What is it?
01:16Well, I'm making myself wait until Christmas morning to find out.
01:19Attention!
01:20Attention!
01:22Attention, everyone.
01:23Welcome to the unveiling of the Fierce Department Store Christmas displays.
01:28Mrs. Kellner.
01:29Kellner Toy Factory wishes everyone a very Merry Christmas.
01:33I'm sure we're all anxious to see the wonderful toys and gifts Fierce has to offer.
01:36And the Empress Josephine tiara donated by yours too.
01:41Let's see the tiara, shall we?
01:43Oh, my goodness.
01:47My tiara.
01:49It's gone.
01:50I wonder what happened to you.
01:52Someone must have taken it.
01:53Thank you for your insight, Margaret.
01:55Looks like someone didn't want to wait for Santa Claus.
01:58Indeed.
01:59Indeed.
01:59My heart is broken.
02:19I was prepared to say goodbye to the tiara for charity, but...
02:22Yes.
02:23We'll do our best to find her.
02:24And throw the thief in jail, I hope.
02:26Where was the tiara last seen?
02:28At the store, in the strong box.
02:30It was brought here from the toy factory an hour ago and given to Mr. Fear.
02:34And before you ask, I was never alone with it.
02:36Mr. Maturin, my head stock clerk, was with me the entire time.
02:39And when was it placed in this glass display case?
02:42That's just the thing.
02:43I didn't personally do that.
02:45Who did?
02:46Mr. Maturin took the box to the decorator while I went out into the store.
02:50Apparently, when they opened the box, it was empty, but nobody told me.
02:54All right.
02:55We'll need to see this strong box and where it was kept, of course.
03:00Follow me, detectives.
03:02Good lord.
03:04What on earth are those?
03:05They look like spriggans.
03:07What's that?
03:07A spriggan was a legendary monster from Cornwall.
03:10Me granny used to tell me stories about them when I was a kid.
03:13Scared the bejesus out of me.
03:14They're grotesque.
03:16They're going to give me nightmares.
03:17What's the idea?
03:18Aren't they just the cutest?
03:23They're called Rin-kin-kins, and I will have you know they are the toy this Christmas.
03:28All the best children are getting one.
03:30Who says?
03:31Says everyone.
03:32Which means our Jordan must get one.
03:34Must, must, must.
03:35Well, then I shall pick one up, love dove.
03:37Oh, and if you were thinking of getting me this for Christmas, you're out of luck.
03:42A diamond tiara?
03:43Honey, I'm joking.
03:45You don't have to get me anything.
03:47If you say so, dear.
03:48Still, it's such a shame.
03:50Stolen right out of a display of fears.
03:53Well, detectives Murdoch and Watts are looking into that.
03:57Well, if they find it, perhaps you can have it come missing again.
04:02Mustache.
04:04Oh, Constable, no, no, no.
04:06You must spread the tinsel evenly.
04:11Good to have you back in the station house, Chief Constable.
04:13Can't have the inmates from the asylum, can we?
04:16Anyway, it's only while Inspector Choi is on leave.
04:19So, any luck finding the tiara?
04:21No.
04:22And what's curious is that everyone claims no one was alone with it.
04:25We've done a thorough search of all of the back rooms and lockers at Fear's department store and...
04:31Not a trace.
04:32So, is it possible that someone snuck in the back doors, waited for their chance, and then stole the tiara?
04:36Well, at this time of year, reindeer can fly.
04:41I mean, anything is possible.
04:43In this world, only pigs fly.
04:45So, any finger marks on the case?
04:47None that shouldn't be there.
04:49Mrs. Kellner more than likely told anyone and everybody that tiara was moving to fears.
04:54Maybe we ought to widen the search.
04:56We do intend to speak with her next.
04:58Is this related to the case?
04:59No, no, and if you don't mind, it's a gift I'm making for Susanna.
05:07It's a music box.
05:12Tchaikovsky.
05:13Wonderful.
05:14If I can get it finished, it just might make it to London in time for Christmas.
05:20So, I presume Julia and Susanna are still across the pond?
05:23Well, yes, Julia's work is keeping her there for the holidays.
05:28And Harry has a school trip to Quebec.
05:33Well, I'm sure you'll see them soon.
05:36With me, detective.
05:39A little more to the left.
05:41Good.
05:43There's another box of decorations behind the stage.
05:45Oh, I'm not here to decorate.
05:46I'm a singer.
05:47I was hoping to perform at your Christmas party.
05:49Oh.
05:49Well, I already have a singer.
05:50You can come back after Christmas and you can audition.
05:52But I love Christmas music.
05:54Please give me a chance.
05:56I'm very busy, Mr...
05:58Page.
05:59Stephen Page.
06:01Good day, Mr. Page.
06:11Oi.
06:12What are you doing?
06:14This is quite something, sir.
06:16Where did you get it?
06:18I made it myself.
06:20Well, the missus baked it, but I did all the fancy bits.
06:22Miss Hart is having a competition at the Starbucks Christmas Doom.
06:26It's very impressive.
06:28Five dollars for the winner.
06:29You should enter.
06:30I've never baked a thing in my life, but my mother makes an excellent gingerbread every Christmas.
06:36I know what you're going to ask me, and the answer, Roberts, is still the same.
06:42But she'll be all alone.
06:44Go and see her two or three days after Christmas.
06:46First chance you get.
06:47Go on.
06:49Yes, sir.
06:49We all have to work Christmas.
06:51It's part of the job.
06:53You want her to be a copper?
06:54Mr. Knight is my manager.
06:59He brought the tiara from the safe in my office to the store.
07:02I blame myself.
07:04I should have stayed with the tiara the whole time.
07:06I had a bad feeling that something would happen to it.
07:09Mr. Fear claims to have been with the tiara right up until minutes before it was stolen.
07:14Yes.
07:15Um, Mrs. Kilmer, you really should tell the detectives what you told me.
07:21What's that?
07:22When Mr. Fear told you that he and Mr. Maturin were with the tiara, it wasn't exactly the truth.
07:30Mr. Maturin went by himself with the tiara to the back of the store.
07:35Why did Mr. Fear lie?
07:37To protect my reputation.
07:39You see, Mr. Fear and I wanted to share some moments alone.
07:43So, Mr. Maturin lied, either to keep his job or to keep an alibi.
07:52Hmm.
08:13I hear you two are fighting over a Rinkinkin. Where is it?
08:38This is all that is left.
08:41It was in my hands, and he took it.
08:43I had it first.
08:44You did not, scoundrel.
08:46Enough.
08:46Where did you find one?
08:48The toy store on Queen Street.
08:49All right.
08:50But they are all gone.
08:51This was the last one.
08:54And he destroyed it.
08:56Well, we'll see if that's true.
08:58Hey, where are you going?
08:59Are you going to let us out?
09:00We have to get to the symphony.
09:01I'm sure you both do.
09:05Hey.
09:07What will they do without a conductor?
09:09You should have thought about that before you took my Rinkinkin.
09:18Toronto amuses me.
09:19Here, there are men who appreciate Pavlova.
09:22Oh, we all do.
09:24I saw your performance of the Dying Swan last week, and I must tell you, I was moved.
09:29I'm not surprised.
09:30It deeply moved me.
09:33And wait till everybody sees your snowflake ballet.
09:37I'm sure it'll be divine.
09:39Snowflakes?
09:41Yes.
09:41You told me about it last week.
09:43It's set to Tchaikovsky's Nutcracker Suite.
09:46Oh, I've booked the hall.
09:48The tickets are being printed.
09:50But I'm resting.
09:51No dancing for the next two weeks.
09:53But you said you'd do a charity performance.
09:57It's for Children's Hospital.
09:59Oh, when did I say this?
10:01Last week after your performance, Ruth.
10:03Oh, we were with the ladies' auxiliary?
10:05For charity.
10:06Yes.
10:07Pavlova must have drank too many key royals.
10:10Oh, must have been I've done the same thing myself once or twice.
10:12But you must.
10:15It's for the Children's Hospital.
10:16They'll close if they don't get enough.
10:18For children?
10:19Why should children get the money?
10:22I never received anything.
10:24It's Christmas.
10:26Every Christmas, I ask Dietmaros for a doll with big ribbons.
10:30I never received.
10:33Oh, that's terrible.
10:35That made me strong.
10:37Please, you leave now.
10:40Oh, um, my daughter Jordan just wanted an autograph.
10:44Go.
10:45Yes.
10:46No.
10:46Ruth.
10:47Jordan.
10:48Yes.
10:51Go.
10:51Well, really.
10:56Why is that lady sad?
10:58I don't know, darling.
10:59She has enough diamonds to buy a small country.
11:01I think she's sad because Santa Claus never visited her house.
11:08Mr. Fears said it would be better for everyone if we both said we were with the tiara.
11:15This doesn't look good, Mr. Maturin.
11:17You had much more time alone with the tiara than we knew.
11:20And ample time to hide it somewhere.
11:22We couldn't find it.
11:23What would I do with something like that?
11:25Sell it.
11:26Where?
11:27To who?
11:28I don't know anything about that tiara.
11:30I didn't even open the box.
11:32Did you spend any time at all, whatsoever, away from the box, Mr. Maturin?
11:38I left the box on my desk in the warehouse while I went to the gents.
11:41Oh?
11:43When I think of it, I didn't see Mr. St. Clair around the warehouse.
11:47Mr. St. Clair?
11:48Uh, Richmond St. Clair, the decorator.
11:51He told me last week he was very excited to see the tiara.
11:56Of course I was excited.
11:57Who wouldn't be?
11:58The large diamonds were given to Josephine by Alexander I when he and Napoleon were friends.
12:04Obviously before Napoleon invaded Russia.
12:07Fascinating.
12:07Perhaps as a history buff, you wanted to keep it for yourself?
12:12Me.
12:13Steal the tiara.
12:14Never.
12:15And how would I do that?
12:16I never even got to see it.
12:18So you say.
12:19Search my home.
12:20My motor wagon.
12:21My person.
12:22I assure you, I don't have it.
12:25You were seen at the Fears warehouse during a time when the tiara was left unattended.
12:32I went into the warehouse to fetch the last of the toys that I was using for the displays.
12:37I never in a...
12:38Detective!
12:39You need to see this.
12:42Have you found the tiara?
12:43Uh, not exactly.
12:45No.
12:46I was hoping for a quiet Christmas.
13:00And so was he, I'd imagine.
13:01Have you identified him?
13:03Not yet.
13:04How long has he been dead?
13:05Well, sir, rigor mortis has retreated from the upper body, but as you can see, it's still present in the legs.
13:11I'd say this man was killed 36 hours ago.
13:14I believe he was stabbed in the neck.
13:15Have you located the weapon?
13:16No.
13:17Uh, wound suggests a weapon that was smooth and circular.
13:21There's no blood on the floor of the wagon.
13:23He must have been killed elsewhere.
13:25Do you think there's any connection between this tiara theft and this murder?
13:28That's an awfully big coincidence.
13:30Sir, I don't believe Mr. St. Clair is a murderer.
13:34And why would he be driving a corpse around for a day and a half?
13:37Someone could have put the body there.
13:39Well, gentlemen.
13:44Mr. St. Clair?
13:46Mr. St. Clair?
13:50Did you know the dead man?
13:52No.
13:53I've never seen him before.
13:54We need to know precisely where this wagon has been in the past 36 hours.
13:59Oh, I can't think straight.
14:01Other than fears, I went to the florist down on Sumac Street and the diner down by the train station.
14:07That's it.
14:07Oh, boy.
14:29It was an accident.
14:30The chief constable is not going to like this.
14:33Of course he won't.
14:34What are we going to do?
14:35We?
14:36Well...
14:37I have enough problems, Debbie.
14:38This one...
14:39This one is yours.
14:43Henry.
14:43Henry.
14:44It's always nice to give a little hope to a family in need.
15:01Merry Christmas.
15:02You know, no matter how many baubles da da bought me, the only thing I really ever asked
15:06from Santa was a pair of ballet slippers.
15:09You were a ballet dancer?
15:10Oh, yes.
15:11I'm passionate about the dance.
15:12No, I dreamed of being a prima ballerina.
15:14You?
15:15Oh, really?
15:15Yes, no, my instructor said I had a very unique style.
15:18I don't know what we're going to do now that Anna Pavlova has said she won't dance.
15:22I know what you're going to ask me.
15:25I simply couldn't.
15:26Oh, no, I suppose not.
15:28But maybe we can find...
15:29No, it's just...
15:30It's been years since I've danced.
15:31You know, little Emery is quite...
15:33I'm not even sure if I remember any of this stuff.
15:34It's all right.
15:35I'm sure we can find a...
15:36It is for children's charity.
15:38It's all right, Ruth.
15:40I will need a costume and some rehearsal.
15:43It's fine.
15:46I'll do it.
15:53Roberts, have you seen my gingerbread house?
15:57Yes, sir.
15:57Then where the bloody hell has it gone?
15:59Well, I see...
16:00If anyone of this lot has had as much as a nibble, I will have their guts for garters.
16:06I was headed in the direction of the starboard earlier, and I thought I'd take it there for you.
16:11Let me tell you something, Roberts.
16:13Now, that is what I call initiative, and I like that.
16:17Keep up the good work, son.
16:19We'll go far.
16:22Thank you, sir.
16:25Henry.
16:27I just lied to the chief constable.
16:31About what?
16:32The gingerbread house.
16:33What should I do?
16:35Make another?
16:36How am I supposed to do that?
16:37I don't even have an oven.
16:39Ask someone you know who does.
16:41Nothing.
16:42I think Ruth keeps her shoes in ours.
16:48We talked to all the staff who were nearby when Mr. St. Clair's wagon was outside Fierce.
16:53No one saw anyone but Mr. St. Clair near it, and no one saw a dead body.
16:57All right.
16:57Thank you, Henry.
16:58Sir, what is this?
17:03It's a Nutcracker music box I'm sending to Susanna.
17:08I've made it myself.
17:09What you need to send her is a rink and kin.
17:13A what?
17:14Oh, it's the toy this Christmas, sir.
17:16That's what Ruth tells me.
17:18Don't be sending her this.
17:20This isn't pioneer time, sir.
17:22Children these days, they want the most popular toy in the store.
17:25That's all they can't need.
17:46What have you discovered, detective?
17:48Grisly turkey and thin, lumpy gravy.
17:51Still, we came with a helping of excellent plum pudding.
17:55I mean about Mr. St. Clair.
17:57Right.
17:58The florist noticed nothing unusual about Mr. St. Clair or his wagon,
18:02and no one here saw anything suspicious either.
18:06Still, this is the last place that Mr. St. Clair
18:08was.
18:09So, how did a dead man get into the back of his wagon?
18:12You know what I noticed?
18:15Hmm.
18:16This diner is only a block and a half from the back of Kilner's toy factory.
18:19Do you think the murder occurred there?
18:20Do you think the murder occurred there?
18:22There's one way to find out.
18:24Right.
18:25Right.
18:26Right.
18:27There's one way to find out.
18:28There's one way to find out.
18:33Have you any news on the whereabouts of Mrs. Kilner's tiara?
18:36No.
18:37But we did find a dead man in a wagon belonging to the fear of his decorator.
18:41How gruesome.
18:42How gruesome.
18:43The deceased was approximately 55 years of age, close cropped hair, center part, green
18:49eyes, and stood about five foot eight inches tall.
18:52Does that ring any bells?
18:54My God.
18:55That sounds like Mr. Cantrell.
18:57He was our night watchman.
18:58He didn't show up for work last night.
19:01Did you check on him?
19:02He doesn't have a telephone.
19:03I figured he was out boozing.
19:05He had a habit.
19:07Does he have a wife?
19:08He had one before the habit took hold.
19:11Can you think of anything suspicious happening the night before the tiara was stolen?
19:16Anything Mr. Cantrell might have witnessed that got him killed?
19:19No.
19:20No, nothing at all.
19:21I am sorry, but I have to get back to work.
19:24Mrs. Kilner will have my head.
19:26Please call us the second you know anything about the tiara.
19:29Oh, and poor Mr. Cantrell, of course.
19:32Of course.
19:33Well, at least the victim has a name.
19:38And we know Mr. Cantrell was killed during a shift.
19:41Mike, we're near here.
19:42Then the killer had Mr. Cantrell's body in Mr. St. Clair's wagon.
19:46What's?
19:53Uh, looks like blood.
19:55Think we'll be lucky enough to find a murder weapon around here complete with the killer's finger marks?
20:00Well, there are broken pieces of ice all around it.
20:03The wound on Mr. Cantrell was smooth and round, correct?
20:07Yes.
20:08Consider the shape of those icicles.
20:11The diameter and the shape of the wound could be a match.
20:15Killed with an icicle.
20:22So much for finger marks.
20:25Merry Christmas.
20:27You're in a good mood this morning.
20:29Went to see his heart at the Starbrite last night.
20:31Kindly offered to help me with my predicament.
20:33You mean the lie that you told the Chief Constable?
20:36Honesty is the best policy, Teddy. That's what I always say.
20:39We've only been friends for a short while, Henry, but I don't think that's what you always say.
20:44Merry Christmas.
20:45Merry Christmas is gonna be miserable if I don't find one of those awful Ring King Kin dolls.
20:49Psst.
20:50Pardon?
20:51Sorry.
20:52Didn't hear you say you're looking for one of those Ring Kin Kins.
20:53Yes.
20:54Today's your lucky day. I've got an extra. I'll sell you one for ten dollars.
20:56You've got a deal.
20:57Are you sure? This might not be on the up and up.
20:58Relax, Teddy. This is just one father helping out another.
20:59And where is the choreographer? The costume designer? Dresser? The maestro?
21:02This is for the Children's Hospital charity. It's not the Royal Command Performance.
21:03And are we just going to give a break?
21:04Why?
21:05Why?
21:06Why?
21:07Why?
21:08Why?
21:09Why?
21:10Why?
21:11Why?
21:12Why...
21:13Why?
21:15Why?
21:16Why?
21:17Why?
21:18Why?

27:44oh
27:46Mr. Maturin.
27:57Mr. Maturin, I need to...
27:58If you're here on behalf of the detectives,
28:00I've told them everything I know about the fact.
28:01Oh, no, no, no, I'm not here for that.
28:02I need to buy a ring King Kent.
28:03The one I already have is defective.
28:05Well, I can't help you there.
28:06We are completely sold out.
28:07Sir, are you sure?
28:09Positive.
28:09They flew off the shelves.
28:11Perhaps there is one left in the back room?
28:13Our shipment was already short.
28:16How do you mean?
28:17Someone had broken into the crate already.
28:20I asked the Kellner delivery man about it,
28:22but he told me to stop asking questions.
28:26Is that so?
28:27He said if I asked anyone else about it,
28:30he'd kill me.
28:33Ho, ho, ho, Mr. Knight.
28:35Oh, yes.
28:37Mrs. Kellner thought it would be festive
28:39if all of her employees dressed up as elves.
28:43We've learned that some boxes
28:45in a shipment from this factory
28:47to Fear's department store have gone missing.
28:50Oh, well, occasionally theft of merchandise does occur,
28:53but what does that have to do with the diamonds
28:57or Mr. Cantrell's murder?
28:59Mr. Cantrell might have witnessed an employee stealing,
29:01and that employee then silenced him.
29:04Oh, we'd like to speak with your delivery man, Mr. Knight.
29:08Oh, of course.
29:09Oh, here he is now.
29:11Mr. Abbott,
29:12these detectives would like a word.
29:16Mr. Abbott.
29:16Drunko constabulary, stop!
29:25Stop.
29:28You're coming down to the station house with us,
29:31Mr. Abbott.
29:32Merry Christmas.
29:33Mr. Abbott.
29:41The night watchman at the Kellner toy factory
29:44witnessed a theft,
29:45and the perpetrator of that theft
29:47wanted to silence him.
29:50Was that you?
29:51I didn't do anything.
29:52Then why did you run?
29:54I may have stolen a few of those ugly Rin-Kin-Kin dolls
29:57to sell on the street,
29:58but I didn't kill anyone.
29:59When the stock clerk at Fears noticed some missing toys,
30:03you told him if he said anything, you'd kill him.
30:06Yes, let's just talk.
30:07I wouldn't hurt anyone over a few lousy toys.
30:10Are you certain?
30:11Because in my experience,
30:13losing one's job could be motive for murder.
30:15I was going to quit anyway.
30:17Mrs. Cantrell doesn't even give out a Christmas bonus.
30:20Do you know anything about the theft
30:23of the Empress Josephine Tiara?
30:25What?
30:26Oh, sir.
30:28Sir.
30:28About that music box you made for Suzanne?
30:30The one you said I shouldn't send to her?
30:32Yes.
30:33Now, do you think you could possibly make another for Ruth?
30:36Oh, I don't think I would have these,
30:38or you would be doing me a very, very large favor.
30:42Oi!
30:43It's you.
30:44Henry, you know this man?
30:46I bought a Rin-Kin-Kin from him.
30:48You sold me a defective doll.
30:50Detective Murdoch.
30:51Ah, just a minute.
30:52The Kellner Toy Company would like to thank you for apprehending this thief.
31:01Mr. Abbott.
31:02Let me guess.
31:03I'm fired.
31:04Excuse me, sir.
31:05Are you from the Kellner Toy Factory?
31:07Yes.
31:08Yes, I am.
31:09Do you happen to have any Rin-Kin Kins left?
31:11The one that I got for my little girl has a mark on its foot.
31:13Oh, well, no.
31:16We're sold out.
31:17Blast.
31:18Anyway, you must be on my way.
31:20I'm the Mouse King.
31:23In the Nutcracker performance.
31:25And thank you again, sir, for the music box.
31:27You're saving my Christmas.
31:29I didn't...
31:30Detective!
31:32Do you suspect Mr. Abbott of Mr. Cantrell's murder?
31:37Well, he's only under arrest for theft at the moment.
31:40I don't believe he's guilty of murder.
31:41And he claims he didn't know Mr. Cantrell.
31:44Oh, I see.
31:45Well, I...
31:45Detective, do you...
31:48Do you have to know a man to kill him?
31:51I didn't...
31:51I didn't know.
31:52Well, good day, sir.
31:56Everyone, let's get ready for the rehearsal.
32:00Now, Jordan, I know I should wait until Christmas morning, but...
32:04Santa brought this early just for you.
32:09It's a Rin-Kin Kinn.
32:10Don't you just love it?
32:16Oh, no.
32:17No, darling.
32:18You're supposed to...
32:19No, you're supposed to play with the Rin-Kin Kinn.
32:23Right.
32:24Oh.
32:25Well, Mummy has to practice, so...
32:27Just watch Mummy.
32:28Margaret, I'm not sure about this costume.
32:35Do I look all right?
32:37Uh, you make a very handsome drosselmile.
32:41Should I bring the cape home?
32:43Yes.
32:44And the patch?
32:45No.
32:45I think Ruth might have overstated her abilities just a little bit.
32:54She's terrible.
32:57Miss Pavlova, you're here.
33:01Well, I think to myself, Pavlova, children deserve the best.
33:04They're generous, loving, and the future of the dance.
33:08And it's Christmas.
33:09What made you change your mind?
33:10Oh, I received a gift from a sweet little girl.
33:13You know, I give gift.
33:15Myself.
33:17Oh!
33:19Anna Pavlova!
33:21Herself.
33:22And tonight, I will be Sugar Plum Fairy.
33:24You are not needed.
33:26Now, go.
33:27Oh.
33:28You will go backstage with me.
33:30There's so much to do.
33:31There's so much to dance.
33:33Thanks.
33:34I'm so excited.
33:40Every ticket has been sold.
34:34Isn't it wonderful?
35:01Now you can watch from the winks with Jordan.
35:10Don't go anywhere, darling.
35:11Mommy will be right back.
35:13Oh.
35:25Oh.
35:25Oh.
35:26Oh.
35:27Bye.
35:27Oh, my God.
35:57Oh, my God.
36:27Oh, there's room for both of us.
36:28I've spoken to Mr. Abbott's wife.
36:56He was indeed at home all night.
36:58So we're no closer to finding the diamonds or the killer?
37:02Or even knowing if there are two criminals or one.
37:05Right.
37:07And I suppose we need to thoroughly search all of the employees at Fears and canvas the greater area.
37:13We could do that tomorrow.
37:17Dan's performance is well underway.
37:22I'm not sure I find ballet is that interesting.
37:26Hmm.
37:26It might be interesting to see Henry prance around as the Mouse King.
37:33What's the matter with Jordan?
37:53When I was on stage, someone came and stole her Rin Kin Kin doll.
37:57Can you believe that?
37:58Who would do something like that?
38:01Mr. Control might have witnessed an employee stealing, and that employee then silenced.
38:05I don't know anything about that tiara.
38:08I didn't even look in the box.
38:09Do you happen to have any Rin Kin Kin's left?
38:11The one I got my little girl has a mark on its foot.
38:14Detective, you have to know a man to kill him.
38:18A diamond tiara never made it to Fears' department store.
38:22The diamonds were taken out of the tiara while it was still at Kellner's toy factory the night before.
38:28That must have been what Mr. Control saw when he was killed.
38:31The diamonds were then placed inside of a marked Rin Kin Kin doll.
38:35One Henry bought for Jordan.
38:37I know of one man who knew where that doll would be.
38:42Mr. Knight!
38:45Get the kids out of the hall.
38:47Oh, yes.
38:48Stop!
39:13All right.
39:14Detectors.
39:15I took...
39:15I took a doll.
39:16Well, that's hardly a hangable offense.
39:18I disagree.
39:19You were under arrest for theft and for the murder of Mr. Cantrell.
39:23That's ridiculous.
39:24You have no evidence.
39:26Well, allow me.
39:31You stole the diamonds and hid them in the doll.
39:36Well, I had to take something from Mrs. Kellner.
39:38I drew everything for her in that factory.
39:40She didn't even give me a Christmas bonus.
39:42And what about Mr. Cantrell?
39:44Well, he refused to look the other way.
39:47He was going to tell Mrs. Kellner.
39:49I had to stop him.
39:51You're coming with us, Mr. Knight.
39:53Would you please keep it down?
39:55The reform is in progress.
39:57Excellent technique, Mrs. Higgins' new song.
40:15Well, you might as well get him up.
40:17Up, up, up.
40:21And we bow to the end of act one.
40:26And we prepare for act two.
40:28Act two, act two, act two.
40:29How about your gingerbread house?
40:52Do you like it?
40:53I think it's better than my first one.
40:55You made another one?
40:56How did you know?
40:57Well, that you broke it.
40:59You're not a very good liar, Roberts.
41:01Well, that's probably a good thing.
41:03Yeah, I wish you told me.
41:04I tried to make another one.
41:05It was terrible.
41:06I know you did.
41:07That was your form of punishment.
41:11I'm sorry for lying to you.
41:13It will never happen again.
41:14Thank you, Roberts.
41:15Oh, and by the way, some good news.
41:18Detective Watts was requested to work over Christmas,
41:21meaning you can go back home to Chatham.
41:24Thank you, sir.
41:25I hope you win.
41:27Go.
41:27Go.
41:27Have some fun.
41:28Yes.
41:29Merry Christmas.
41:35Anything wrong, Violet?
41:37That was the singer that I had booked for tonight.
41:39She can't make it.
41:41It's been one week since I started singing lessons,
41:44but I suppose I could perform something Christmas-y.
41:49Mr. Page, tonight might be your lucky night.
41:55I get to perform?
41:56Just don't let me down.
41:57So, Ruthie, you liked the music box, then?
42:02Oh, I love it.
42:03I can't believe you had it made just for me in Russia.
42:06And it is so much nicer than the one Detective Murdoch made.
42:10Did you like my dancing?
42:12It was wonderful.
42:14It was on and off the stage.
42:15position?
42:16Oh, it Was so wonderful.
42:17It was wonderful.
42:17Oh, it was wonderful.
42:19It was crazy.
42:31I know you are nothing.
42:34You like this?
42:34Yes.
42:35I love it.
42:36I love it.
42:36That you're a star.
42:37I don't want to get anywhere close to a Christmas in Toronto
42:41It just makes me want to scream
42:43Merry Christmas, William
42:46Merry Christmas, Thomas
42:48It's like living inside a bad dream
42:52Forgive my being graphic
42:54But the noise, the crowds, the traffic
42:56Turned me almost psychopathic when I'm there
43:00The pie is platitudes
43:02The spunk's superior attitude
43:04The utter lack of gratitude in the end
43:10Christmas in Toronto
43:13I don't want to get anywhere close to a Christmas in Toronto
43:17It just makes me want to scream
43:19But as I wander around
43:24The memories flow
43:27Of friends and family
43:31And the places that we used to go
43:35The snow comes falling down
43:40And the choir begins to sing
43:44And I've forgiven everything
43:49It's Christmas in Toronto
44:03Do you want to come over some evening Christmas in Toronto
44:07It's the way it's meant to be
44:09It's Christmas in Toronto
44:14You just want to be Billie
44:17You're in no %uh
44:19You're toast
44:20And there's two of the emotions
