00:00Why you open the bin?
00:01Fish.
00:02You were looking for fish?
00:03No, I got fish. I was looking for veg.
00:06Why?
00:06They throw it out at the end of the day, see.
00:08There's nothing wrong with most of it.
00:10Got a nice bit of broccoli for my salmon.
00:13I mean, I had to trim it up a bit.
00:15But the really mangy stuff, I cut up and I use it for feed.
00:19Oh, for the fish?
00:20For the rabbit.
00:22Right, and what time was this?
00:25Quarter to nine.
00:26I know that because I had to get the veg back to Janet for five-two.
00:31The rabbit?
00:32My wife's sister.
00:34She cuts up the veg for the rabbit.
00:36But she leaves for work at nine.
00:39Banksy.
00:40She works at the banks?
00:42No, the rabbit's called Banksy.
00:45After that artist fella, the one who draws on walls.
00:49Okay.
00:50He's not dead.
00:52I saw him breathing.
00:54Banksy.
00:56No, the bloke in the bin.
00:59Oh.
01:22Morning.
01:22Oh, that looks nice.
01:23Oh, yeah.
01:24Oh, for me.
01:24Of course, Margaret.
01:25This way.
01:30Who's your friend?
01:32I found him in a wheelie bin.
01:34His name's Seb.
01:35And he had a bit too much to drink last night, didn't you, Seb?
01:38Well, you know you've had a good night when you wake up in a wheelie bin.
01:44You taking him home?
01:45Not yet.
01:46Can't get his head off.
01:48He said his mates glued it on.
01:50Oh, dear.
01:51Oh, dear.
01:56You'll need some adhesive remover.
01:58I'll take him.
01:59You go and get some.
02:01Come on.
02:01Right, let's step carefully.
02:03Careful.
02:04We will be.
02:05Okay.
02:06I've got you.
02:07Oh, my nap.
02:09Layers.
02:10Yeah.
02:19Ooh.
02:21There's an exhibition on at the town hall tonight.
02:23Christmas through the decades.
02:25We're going Christmas shopping, remember?
02:27They built replica rooms from every decade.
02:29From the noughties back through the nineties, the eighties, seventies, the sixties.
02:35You need to finish by five.
02:37Okay, I'll try.
02:40You promised.
02:42Right.
02:43Say it out loud.
02:47I will finish at five.
02:49Good.
02:50Let's hope Shipton Abbott's criminal fraternity don't get to hear about this.
02:54We could have a six o'clock frenzy.
02:56I'm not sure which question to ask first.
03:11Morning, Margot.
03:29Morning.
03:30I, uh, see you've brought your friend in.
03:33He's not my friend.
03:35Kelby found him in a wheelie bin.
03:37Excellent.
03:39Oh.
03:39This is the, uh, the exhibition at the town hall.
03:44Yeah, Christmas through the decades.
03:46I can get you tickets for that.
03:49My stepmum's on to the organisers.
03:51I get a family discount.
03:52Huh.
03:54Margot?
03:55Oh, I'm busy tonight.
04:04What's wrong with this?
04:06Uh, sorry.
04:10Something wrong with it, I think.
04:14Hmm.
04:16Oh.
04:16Margot?
04:22Hmm.
04:22Why exactly is the snowman here?
04:25His head's glued on.
04:27And he's refusing to go home because his new girlfriend's mum and dad are there.
04:30They've come down for Christmas to meet him.
04:32Oh.
04:33Worried about giving them the wrong impression.
04:35Well, hard not to when he dressed in a snowman's suit smelling a wheelie bin.
04:39Fair enough.
04:39I don't have the facilities.
04:40Oh.
04:41As soon as you can, please.
04:45Problem?
04:46There was a chap sitting on the doorstep when I opened up.
04:49His name's David, but he seems a bit confused.
04:51So I put him in the interview room with a cup of tea.
04:54That's a very nice thing to do.
04:55Oh, I've been trying to get social services to come and collect him, but they haven't got anyone free.
05:00I mean, I've made it as comfortable for him as I can in there.
05:04The odd thing was, this is the only thing he had with him.
05:10Hmm.
05:11Weird.
05:12David, is it?
05:18David, we're just a little bit confused about why you have a photograph of me in your pocket.
05:29Did I?
05:30You don't recall why?
05:35Take time.
05:39Have we ever met?
05:42I need to find my sister.
05:46Your sister?
05:46Is that why you're here?
05:48Louise.
05:49That's her name.
05:55Can you help me?
05:56We can try.
05:58Do you and your sister live together?
06:04Yes.
06:08Only, it's Christmas, you see.
06:10I really need to find her.
06:14Where do you and your sister live, David?
06:18Is there an address you can give us?
06:26I'm sorry.
06:27I'm not being much help, am I?
06:30Do you live in Shipton Abbot?
06:32I really need to find her.
06:36I really need to find her.
06:38It's all right.
06:39Okay.
06:39Don't upset yourself.
06:40We'll work it out.
06:42It would help if we had a full name.
06:46David.
06:47I...
06:47I'll write it down, shall I?
06:58Can you, um...
06:59Can you spell it for me?
07:01David.
07:03H.
07:05A-L-E-G-O-N.
07:07Hilton.
07:11There was nothing else in his pockets at all.
07:14Uh, a bit of loose change.
07:16No wallet, no credit cards, no phone, nothing.
07:19Why would a complete stranger, someone I've never met before,
07:23be sitting on the station doorstep with a photograph of me in his pocket?
07:27Do you recognise the photo?
07:29Where it was taken, when?
07:31No.
07:32But it has to be key.
07:34Maybe it's on social media somewhere, something Martha or Anne posted.
07:37I could look online.
07:38Yes, do that.
07:40In the meantime, let's start with the search, a five-mile radius.
07:43We're looking for a brother and sister living together,
07:46David and Louise Hilton.
07:48Try care homes and sheltered housing first.
07:50Right.
07:50And check other divisions for missing person reports.
07:53On it.
07:55Margot?
07:56I got a call from the hub.
07:58Vicious wine bar was broken into last night after we left.
08:01No.
08:03Uniforms attended in the early hours of the morning.
08:06Took photos and secured the building.
08:08They've asked us to follow up.
08:14You're sure you're doing the right thing?
08:17It was something he said when Rosie left,
08:20about us being on our own,
08:23and how we'd have to make do.
08:25It's always been the same for us,
08:27all through the IVF and the fostering.
08:30The worry lurking under the surface
08:33that we needed something else to be happy.
08:37That we might not be enough for each other on our own.
08:39And this is the best way I could think of to show him
08:45that all I ever need is him
08:47standing next to me,
08:50holding my hand.
08:51This is the best Christmas surprise ever.
08:57It will be, if we all do our part.
08:59So, all the boxes are in the kitchen.
09:01You need to get them there by four.
09:03Put the closed early sign up outside before you go.
09:05OK.
09:06Mum, you need to be at the train station by 2.30.
09:09This is who you're picking up.
09:11Oh, he looks nice.
09:13He is.
09:14Bring him back here.
09:15And if Humphrey comes in, you'll have to hide him.
09:18Hide him?
09:19Where?
09:21Use your imagination.
09:22There's room in the stock cupboard.
09:23Will you mind being in the stock cupboard?
09:25Just do what you need to.
09:27Humphrey mustn't see him.
09:28So, does everyone know what they're doing?
09:30Yeah.
09:32Go team Martha.
09:33Ooh!
09:35Woo!
09:38So much for Shipton Abbott being Devon's hidden gem.
09:41He's got his scumbags like everywhere else.
09:44I blame the parents.
09:45Yeah.
09:46Put two morons together.
09:47What'd you get?
09:48Surprise.
09:49Here's another moron.
09:51You were at home when the alarm company called to say there had been a break-in?
09:55No, I was at Friends in Palmeron.
09:57What time?
09:58About 1.30.
10:00It's quite late to go visiting.
10:01Well, we were having a party.
10:03I said I'd join them when the bar had closed.
10:05You can see the door's been jimmied open.
10:09Yes.
10:10Can I ask what was taken?
10:11I asked you to go to the bank this morning, so this week's taking so far.
10:16The float, I haven't tidied it all up, but I reckon north of 10,000.
10:22A lot of cash?
10:23It is Christmas.
10:24People throw in for the bills, so we get more cash than usual.
10:32Can we see inside?
10:34No.
10:34Is there damage anywhere else?
10:39No.
10:41Office?
10:42No.
10:43Then where do they take the cash from?
10:45From the drawer under the till.
10:48Is it usual to keep that amount of money in the bar overnight?
10:52Can be.
10:53Depends on when I can get to the bank.
10:54Water?
11:03But they're wine bottles.
11:05I guess someone's got water on the bar.
11:15Is that Robert's charity tips, Joe?
11:18Yeah.
11:18Look, is this going to take long?
11:20We're nearly done.
11:21Only I need to get this cleaned up so I can open.
11:23Can I ask?
11:25Who else would have known you had cash here overnight?
11:28No one.
11:29No way.
11:30Robert.
11:31Robert knew.
11:33I remember him yesterday asking me if I'd been to the bank or not.
11:45I can't believe this was anything to do with Margot's nephew.
11:48No.
11:49Let's check where he was last night after the bar closed and check on his party in Polmarin, too.
11:56Sir?
11:56There we are, my love.
12:10A nice, fresh cup of tea.
12:12I guess.
12:13Grace.
12:14Grace.
12:16Gracilium.
12:16And is essential to the death of balanced energy.
12:19Congratulations.
12:21My love.
12:23Mmm.
12:25Come on.
12:29So...
12:30Okay, thanks.
12:31Bye.
12:31Bye.
12:32OK, so I spoke to Terry Finch's friend in Polmarin.
12:51He confirms that Terry arrived there just after midnight
12:54and he was with him when he got the call from the alarm company
12:57about the break-in just after 1.30.
12:59He took a cab back to the wine bar because he'd had a drink
13:02and I've confirmed to the cab company that they picked him up in Polmarin
13:05and took him to the bar.
13:06The uniformed unit were already at the scene
13:08and confirmed the break-in happened at 1.30.
13:11So we can rule out Terry Finch?
13:13Looks that way.
13:17I couldn't find adhesive remover anywhere.
13:20You'd think I'd be asking for unicorn poo.
13:24Had to go to the industrial estate.
13:32You can't just leave him sitting there.
13:36What else can I do with him?
13:37I don't know, but this is a police station.
13:39We're in here discussing cases.
13:40Look, I've just got to get his head off and then I'll get him on.
13:43Can't you just cut it off?
13:45No, hang on. He hired it.
13:47He can't...
13:48He's got a £100 deposit against any damage.
13:52Well, hurry up.
13:53Er, Kelby, can you check CCTV from the high street last night?
13:59Say between 12 and 2am.
14:01Sure.
14:01Er, what am I looking for?
14:02Ah, well, anyone in the vicinity of Fishers-Wyambar
14:05at around 1.30am.
14:07The unit that attended the break-in sent a report.
14:09It's in your inbox.
14:10Thanks, Margot.
14:12And the Grinch sent me a full report of what was stolen.
14:15Around £11,000 in cash,
14:21plus the contents of Robert's charity job.
14:23There was a big sticker on it, too, saying it was for charity.
14:27And that Christmas.
14:28God, that's well bad.
14:35Any leads on the photograph?
14:37Er, I ran the search online but didn't find anything,
14:40so I passed it to IT.
14:42See if they have more luck.
14:43And the, er, sister?
14:44Again, nothing so far.
14:47I'm still waiting on the missing person reports to come back,
14:49but I've drawn a blank with electoral register,
14:52care homes, sheltered housing in a five-mile radius.
14:55Looks like we've hit a dead end.
14:57Maybe we should just pass it on to social services.
14:59Well, let's at least keep trying until they get here.
15:09And you're not even going to warn him?
15:11No.
15:12He'll start fretting,
15:13and when he frets, he breaks things.
15:15Right, well, speaking of someone surrounded by bottles,
15:17no-one wants that.
15:19Just make sure everything's ready.
15:20It will be.
15:22Oh.
15:23Hi.
15:24Thanks for getting back to me.
15:25How can one person be on the phone so much?
15:30Every time I call her, she's engaged.
15:32Maybe.
15:32She's busy.
15:34I haven't got anything on Fisher's Weimar.
15:36There's no CCTV in the alley.
15:39A few passes by at the front just after midnight,
15:42then nothing until the police unit turned up just after 1.30.
15:46Then a cab arrives.
15:48Er, that's Terry Finch.
15:49Oh, still, we still need to speak to Robert,
15:52check his movements.
15:53Mm-hmm.
15:54Why?
15:56You don't think he had anything to do with this?
15:59Of course not.
16:00It's to spark the investigation, Margot.
16:02Ticking all the boxes.
16:03Do you know where we can find him?
16:07Margot?
16:07Ah, it's burning.
16:08Oh, calm down.
16:10Careful.
16:10Yeah, well, I've got three jobs.
16:13I do mornings here,
16:14home deliveries in the afternoon,
16:17and Fisher's four nights a week.
16:20Can you tell us where you were last night
16:22after you left the bar up to about 1.30 a.m.?
16:24Er, yeah, no, I was at home.
16:26Can anyone vouch for that?
16:28Er, well, no.
16:31Laura is staying at her mum's with the girls.
16:34Laura's your wife?
16:35Yeah.
16:35Yeah.
16:35Hey, um,
16:38is it true that they took that charity money
16:40from behind the bar, too?
16:43Yes, they did.
16:45Who would do something like that?
16:47Er, yesterday,
16:48do you recall asking Terry Finch
16:51if he'd been to the bank?
16:52Er, no.
16:54Oh, no, wait, yes.
16:56Yeah, yes.
16:57I think I did.
16:59Can I ask why?
17:00Oh, no, no reason.
17:00I just have to cover the bar if he goes...
17:04to the...
17:04Sorry, am I in trouble?
17:06No.
17:07No, not at all.
17:08Um, just routine questions.
17:10Oh.
17:11Can you just run us through your shift yesterday,
17:14starting with after we left?
17:15Yeah, well, I mean, I was rushed off my feet.
17:17Er, Mr Finch, see, he won't hire any more staff.
17:21He says cutting costs makes us look good to head office.
17:23Hmm.
17:25Er, you didn't notice anything out of the ordinary?
17:27No.
17:27No, no, no, no.
17:28We had three parties in.
17:29Um, we called last orders not long after you guys left,
17:32and, you know, everyone just drifted off.
17:34What time was that?
17:34Er, I think we were emptied by about half eleven.
17:37Yeah.
17:38I wiped down the tables in the bar.
17:40I put the, er, thank you.
17:42I put the empties in the bottle crate to be collected the next morning.
17:45Emptied the bins behind the bar.
17:47Normally I'd run the bin bags out the back,
17:49but Mr Finch told me to go home, so, yeah.
17:52I think I left by about quarter to twelve.
17:53And after you left, did you see anyone outside?
17:56Nope.
17:57It was pretty quiet.
18:00Oh, no, hold on.
18:02There was this lunatic in a snowman suit.
18:06Yeah.
18:08Oh, God.
18:10Are you sure we can't take this head off yet?
18:13Apparently not.
18:14Glue needs to soften for another twenty minutes.
18:16And we can't cut it off, because he'll lose his deposit.
18:20It's a dep...
18:21Fine.
18:23So, you were at a party?
18:24Yeah.
18:25I was at a mate's flat.
18:27His girlfriend's birthday.
18:28Fancy dress.
18:29Whoa.
18:30How do you know that?
18:32I'm a detective.
18:33And on your way home, you walk through the alley,
18:35behind the shops on the high street.
18:36Er, shortcut.
18:38Right.
18:39Did you see anyone?
18:40Particularly anyone at the back of Fisher's Wine Bar.
18:43I think I saw a bloke taking the bins out.
18:45Right, what time?
18:47Oh, maybe just before midnight.
18:49Oh, and then there was this bunch of kids.
18:51Kids?
18:52Yeah.
18:53About ten of them.
18:54On bikes.
18:55All started taking the mick, obviously.
18:57How old?
18:58Don't know.
18:59Fifteen?
19:00Sixteen?
19:01Anyways, they all start pushing me around.
19:04And then one of them goes,
19:05Oh, chuck him in the wheelie bin.
19:07And so they did.
19:09Couldn't you get out?
19:10Oh, I was smashed by then.
19:13Plus, it's surprisingly comfortable in there.
19:15Don't remember nothing after that.
19:17Right.
19:18Sergeant.
19:21What are you thinking?
19:24This fresh splinter of wood we found at the scene.
19:26From the back door?
19:27Yeah.
19:28But it was only visible once the bin men
19:30had taken the bags away in the morning.
19:32Do you remember?
19:33They cleared them while we were there.
19:35So?
19:35So?
19:36So surely that must mean
19:41the splinter was under the bags.
19:42But how can that be
19:43when our snowman saw Finch
19:45put the bags out
19:46before he left the evening?
19:48It doesn't make any sense.
19:49We know the break-in was at 1.30
19:51because that's when the alarm went off.
19:53Exactly.
19:53Exactly.
19:53The Eagle has landed.
20:20It's ham and cheese.
20:30It's ham and cheese.
20:32It's ham and cheese?
20:36If you don't like it,
20:37we can swap it for something else.
20:42No rush.
20:43Just let me know.
20:44Have you found Louise?
20:45No, David.
20:48Not yet.
20:48But we're looking, OK?
20:50I miss her so much.
20:52Oh, mate.
20:56Hey.
20:57We know you do.
21:00Don't get upset, all right?
21:01Our inspector,
21:03he's looking for her.
21:04And he's amazing.
21:06Got it.
21:14That was IT.
21:15They found a match for the image.
21:17Ah.
21:17It's from
21:18the Tavistock Chronicle newspaper.
21:21Coverage of the amateur dramatics
21:23train murder.
21:23They snapped you at the station, remember?
21:25Oh, steel.
21:26No idea.
21:27It's definitely the same image.
21:29OK, good.
21:30So let's focus our search
21:32on the Tavistock area
21:33and see what that throws up.
21:34Will do.
21:35All right.
21:36Oh, steady.
21:37Yeah, careful.
21:38You got my skin there.
21:39Oh!
21:39Oh!
21:41Oh!
21:43Everyone,
21:44meet Seb Branner.
21:46Hello, Seb.
21:47Thank heavens for that.
21:49Oh, thank you, guys.
21:50I thought I'd never get out.
21:52David got a bit upset.
21:55Started talking about his sister again.
21:57But he's calmed down a bit.
21:59Poor love.
22:01Oh, hello, mate.
22:02Oh, you all right?
22:03Kelby will show you where the bathroom is.
22:05You can get the rest of it off.
22:06Brilliant.
22:07Cheers.
22:07All right.
22:08Oh, sorry.
22:09Yeah.
22:10OK.
22:10You all right?
22:13I've sent an information request
22:14to Tavistock police and the town council.
22:16Mm-hmm.
22:16So, what are you thinking?
22:20The kids on the bikes?
22:23No.
22:25There were three or four bottles of Pinot Grigio smashed on the floor.
22:29No other damage.
22:30There was no empty beer cans,
22:32no witty remarks or pictures of genitalia etched on the walls.
22:36The office was untouched.
22:38No, this wasn't teenagers.
22:39I think this was someone who knew the cash was there
22:43and where it was.
22:46Robert?
22:47So you do think Bobby was involved?
22:49No.
22:50Yes, you do.
22:52I can see it on your faces.
22:53We're still trying to work out exactly what happened, Margot.
22:56But Bobby's a suspect.
22:58No.
22:59Well, yes.
23:00But only until we eliminate him.
23:03I'm sorry, Margot.
23:04We don't like it any more than you do,
23:05but we have to do our job.
23:07He's the only other person
23:08who knew that cash was there overnight.
23:10And he's working three jobs,
23:12so we know money's tight for him.
23:14And I've known him his entire life.
23:17There's no way he could do anything like this.
23:19We're sure that's true, but we have to...
23:20With no buts.
23:21That boy goes to the children's ward
23:24every Christmas morning to take them presents.
23:27Do you really think he'd steal his own charity money?
23:30And yes, he's got three jobs,
23:33but that's because he's a hard-working lad
23:34trying to provide for his own family,
23:36not a thief!
23:43Margot!
23:46Good luck with that.
23:57Everything all right?
23:58Yeah, the boxes are in the car.
24:01Mum back?
24:01Yeah, she's just in the kitchen making him a sandwich.
24:05You're not having second thoughts, are you?
24:08What if he hates it?
24:10He won't.
24:11He'll love it.
24:12You think?
24:13I know.
24:15All right.
24:16I'd better go and check on our guest.
24:18Sir, Tavistock Police.
24:27No missing person reports in the past week.
24:30OK, but I still think we're in the right area,
24:32so try GP surgeries next, social services.
24:36See if any of them have a patient called David or Louise Hilton.
24:39Sir.
24:39I'm sorry I shouted.
24:58I was a bit cross.
25:01It's perfectly understandable.
25:03But I stand by what I said.
25:06My Bobby isn't a thief.
25:15So, Kelby, did you get your snowman home?
25:19Seb, yeah.
25:20I got to meet his new girlfriend's parents.
25:23Yeah, they didn't suspect a thing.
25:25Well, he did have a rash across his neck.
25:28But he said it was only because he was nervous to meet him.
25:32Smooth.
25:34Heat rash, probably, from being in that suit.
25:36He must have been melting in there.
25:39Oh, hey, it's like that joke from last night.
25:41What do you call an old snowman?
25:44Water.
25:46Ice!
25:48That's it.
25:50Melting ice.
25:52Explain.
25:54An empty crisp packet.
25:56What?
25:56Oh, no, sorry.
25:59If this splinter of wood was found underneath the bags of rubbish
26:03at the back of Fisher's Wine Bar,
26:04then the door must have been forced open
26:06before they were put out by Terry Finch shortly before midnight.
26:10Except that's not possible
26:18because we know the break-in was an hour and a half later.
26:21What if it wasn't?
26:23What if everything was just set up to look like a break-in?
26:29By whom?
26:30Terry Finch.
26:31Yes!
26:33Sorry.
26:34But if Finch set all this up himself,
26:37how could the alarm go off at 1.30 in the morning
26:40when we know he was 10 miles away in Polmarin?
26:43Because in the words of a song from my youth,
26:45ice, ice, baby, ice!
26:48Remember?
26:49The pool of water on the bar.
26:53What about it?
26:54I thought it was on at the time.
26:56It was wine bottles that were broken,
26:58so how could it be water?
27:00Robert told us he wiped down the bar before he left.
27:03And he also said he emptied the bin behind the bar.
27:08Yet it had a plastic bag in it.
27:11OK, now you're losing me.
27:18I saw a similar bag at the Christmas party.
27:23Sorry.
27:27But you'd expect to see a bag used for ice behind a bar, wouldn't you?
27:31Yes, but...
27:33if Robert emptied the bin, as he said,
27:34and I have no reason to doubt him,
27:36then why was it there in the morning?
27:39Thank you. Good night.
27:41This is what I think happened.
27:44I had to carry you tonight.
27:46All right, sorry.
27:47Pull your finger out, or else I'm going to have to get someone else.
27:49Don't say that.
27:50Mr. Finchman, you know I need this job.
27:52Well, maybe you should be thinking more about your kids
27:54and less about fawning all over the puns.
27:56It's Christmas. I just wanted everyone to have a good time.
27:59I told you, Christmas is for mugs.
28:01All I'm interested in is how much they spend.
28:04All right, so less chitty-chatting and more serving.
28:07You got it?
28:07Yeah, got it.
28:08I think Robert did exactly as he said.
28:10After you cleaned the bar, he emptied the bin.
28:12Leave him. I'll take him out.
28:13No, no, no. It's fine. I'll take...
28:14Leave him. I'll take him out.
28:16I'll do it myself, like everything else.
28:18Go on. Go home.
28:19I'm sick of looking at you.
28:21Night, Mr. Finch.
28:22And once Robert had left,
28:24Finch went straight out to the back door.
28:26Which is how the splinter of wood got in the alley
28:42before the bags of rubbish?
28:43It's the only thing that fits.
28:45There was no damage anywhere else.
29:07No sign of anyone searching the office.
29:09So our thief had to know where the money was.
29:19But this...
29:21This was the clever bit.
29:29Ice defrosts at a predetermined pace.
29:31So as the ice melts,
29:39the bottles will fall.
29:42Setting off the alarm?
29:43Precisely.
29:44Ice defrosts at a predetermined pace.
29:45Ice defrosts at a predetermined pace.
29:46Ice defrosts at a predetermined pace.
29:47Ice defrosts at a predetermined pace.
29:48Ice defrosts at a predetermined pace.
29:49Ice defrosts at a predetermined pace.
29:50Ice defrosts at a predetermined pace.
29:51Ice defrosts at a predetermined pace.
29:52Ice defrosts at a predetermined pace.
29:53Ice defrosts at a predetermined pace.
29:54Ice defrosts at a predetermined pace.
29:55Ice defrosts at a predetermined pace.
29:56Ice defrosts at a predetermined pace.
29:57Ice defrosts at a predetermined pace.
29:58Ice defrosts at a predetermined pace.
29:59Ice defrosts at a predetermined pace.
30:00Ice defrost at a predetermined pace.
30:01I don't know.
30:31By the time Terry Fentz arrived at the wine bar, the police were already there and had found the broken back door and broken wine bottles on the floor.
30:53Which would look exactly like a break-in.
30:54I think when Terry got there, he took the plastic ice bag from the bar and simply threw it in the bin.
31:01But forgot to wipe away the water from the melted ice on the bar.
31:09Precisely.
31:11So, it wasn't Bobby?
31:14No, it was not.
31:19Crikey.
31:20Thank you, Margot.
31:23Kelby, go pick him up.
31:27Oh, Tavistock Social Services.
31:30Oh, they've reported one of their care home residents, David Hilton, as missing.
31:36He wasn't in his room when his carer went in this morning.
31:39No mention of his sister, but his daughter and son-in-law are on their way now to pick him up.
31:46Oh, yes.
31:47So, he'll be with his family for Christmas.
31:50Well done, everyone.
32:09Kelby called.
32:10They've got him.
32:11And Margot ran a cheque.
32:13Seems he was sacked from his last job for running up gambling debt on the company credit card.
32:17I see.
32:17So, he was a gambler.
32:19Whose luck just ran out.
32:27Hello.
32:28I'm Humphrey.
32:30This is Esther.
32:33He's your dad, is he?
32:35We've been going out of our minds all day.
32:37Yes, I'm sure.
32:37Where did you find him?
32:39He found us.
32:41He was sitting on the doorstep when I came in this morning.
32:44Are we going to see Louise now?
32:46Not yet, Dad.
32:48We need to get you home.
32:50Everyone's worried about you.
32:51He's been talking about his sister all day.
32:54I'm sorry.
32:55We'll get him home.
32:56I'm sure you've got more important things to do.
32:58Not at all.
33:00Can I just ask?
33:02He had a photograph of me in his pocket.
33:07You wouldn't happen to know why.
33:11You're Humphrey Goodman.
33:13Yes.
33:13Yes, I am.
33:16Dad, you sit with Keith for a minute, okay?
33:19I won't be long.
33:22Yeah.
33:25You're all right, Dad.
33:26You're all right.
33:26Dad and his sister Louise were adopted.
33:31They lost their parents when he was seven.
33:34They were supposed to go to the same family, but circumstances changed and they were split up.
33:38Come, ye faithful, joyful and shy of us.
33:48Oh, come ye, O come ye to Bethlehem.
34:00Come, ye, O Lord.
34:09He tried to look for her over the years, but just hit one dead end after another.
34:14So he just sort of locked it away and got on with his life.
34:18Just became that unspoken thing.
34:23And then he started to get ill.
34:26And he was diagnosed as having dementia.
34:30And as his memory started to deteriorate,
34:33he started talking about Louise again.
34:38It was as if of all the things he had in his life,
34:40she was the thing he was frightened about forgetting the most.
34:45So, we decided to try again.
34:50We hit the same dead ends as before, but this time we found her.
34:54Dad was so excited.
34:56We traced her to Gloucester, where she was adopted by a couple on Christmas Eve in 1968.
35:02They changed her name to theirs, so she became Louise Briggs.
35:05But then she moved away.
35:08And we lost all track of her.
35:09But then, the people who bought her old house in Gloucester found an old bank statement,
35:15dated from around the time she moved away.
35:17But it showed that she made a withdrawal from an ATM in Shipton Abbott.
35:21Sorry.
35:22Oh.
35:22I still don't see why David would have a photograph of me in his pocket.
35:27So, we were at a loss as what to do next.
35:30So, we spoke to Dad about hiring a private detective in the new year.
35:34Someone from Devon who could help us find her.
35:36And Dad saw your picture in the paper and thought you looked like a decent chap.
35:41So, he was going to call you and ask if you could help.
35:43He can't remember what he had for breakfast.
35:48But he can tell you what song was on the radio the day they took Louise away.
35:51It's like he's stuck in that moment.
35:59And the hurt is just as real now as it was then.
36:03OK, everyone.
36:10Let's run a check on the name Louise Briggs.
36:13Town halls, social services, PNC, any other databanks you can get into.
36:18Local HMRC, passport office, DVLA.
36:21Look into local clubs and organisations.
36:24She must be drawing a pension by now, see if that gives us anything.
36:27Sir.
36:27Should we be making these kinds of checks?
36:31Yes, we should, Sergeant, for two very good reasons.
36:34Firstly, it's a missing persons investigation.
36:37Even though they're not missing anyone?
36:38Technically, yes.
36:40And the second?
36:41It's Christmas.
36:44Oh, Martha called.
36:45She said she's at the winery ordering stock.
36:47Can you pick her up from there?
36:48And don't be late.
36:50What time is it now?
36:51It's 4.35.
36:53You've got 25 minutes.
36:54OK, quick as you can, everyone.
36:56Hey, Alton.
37:13H-A-L-E-T-O-N.
37:16Although that's her original name, she went on to become Louise Briggs.
37:20Have we got anything else listed under the name Louise Briggs?
37:23No, that's all the information we have.
37:25Could we cross-reference her date of birth against anything else?
37:29All we know for sure is she left Gloucester around four years ago and we think came to ship the nabbit, or at least somewhere in this area.
37:36Bye.
37:36OK, let me see if I can find that.
37:38I'll come back to you.
37:41They need a national insurance number.
37:43You'd better go.
37:44Five more minutes.
37:46OK, well, thanks for trying.
37:48Bye.
37:48Nothing.
37:49Nothing.
37:51Say again?
37:53But her adopted name was definitely Louise Briggs.
37:57Well, is there an address on the records?
38:01If you would.
38:03You got my number.
38:05OK, thanks, Jess.
38:06There was Louise Briggs married in Paint and Registry Office four years ago.
38:14She declared her former name as Hilton.
38:16So it's her.
38:17It has to be.
38:18Her married name is Branner, but they couldn't see an address for her.
38:22They're checking, but, you know, they can't guarantee it'll be today.
38:26Branner.
38:27I've heard that somewhere.
38:28Yeah.
38:29Seb, the snowman.
38:33Oh.
38:34Yeah.
38:35Of course.
38:37You go.
38:38We'll do this.
38:38Oh, no, I...
38:39No.
38:39No.
38:42Right.
38:43Let's call Seb.
38:52Come on through.
38:53She should be around here somewhere.
38:58Ha!
38:59Good luck.
38:59All right, Lou.
39:00Guys, this is my step-ma'am.
39:03Louise, this is Esther and Margot.
39:05Hi.
39:06Louise, we're from Shipton Abbott Police.
39:08It's nothing to worry about.
39:10Going to let Margot take the lead on this one.
39:13Louise, we believe you had an older brother.
39:17You were separated.
39:18Yeah.
39:20Well, we found it.
39:21Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
39:29I'm here.
39:30I'm here.
39:31Oh.
39:32Hi.
39:32You're late.
39:33Yeah.
39:34What's going on?
39:34What's going on?
39:35I'm here.
39:39Oh.
39:40Hi.
39:40I'm here.
39:42Oh.
39:43Hi.
39:43You're late.
39:44Yeah.
39:45What's going on?
39:47What's going on?
39:49We're getting married.
39:51What?
39:53Come on.
39:55He's here.
39:57Ah.
39:59Oh, good Lord.
40:01You mean we're really getting married?
40:03I just told you.
40:05Yes, but I thought it a metaphor.
40:07For?
40:09For something else.
40:11Oh, good Lord.
40:13You mean we're really getting married?
40:15What? For something else.
40:17You still want to get married, don't you?
40:19Yes, of course I do.
40:21I mean...
40:23Why the big secret?
40:25Because whenever we've planned it properly,
40:27it's always gone wrong.
40:29And so I just thought I'd...
40:31sneak up on you.
40:33Because after Rosie left,
40:35I wanted to show you that as hard as it was losing her,
40:39it was kind of all right because...
40:41I still had you.
40:43And you're enough.
40:45Sorry.
40:51Shall we get married then?
40:53Yes, please.
40:55Yeah!
40:57You'll need to change.
40:59And...
41:01I nearly forgot.
41:03I found your best man too.
41:05Crikey!
41:07Commissioner!
41:09Nice of you to join us,
41:11Inspector Goodman.
41:17He's here.
41:19Honey, do you want to take over?
41:31Dad?
41:33Look over there.
41:35It's Louise.
41:37David.
41:51David.
42:05Yeah.
42:07I can't believe you've come all this way just for me.
42:17I didn't.
42:19Oh.
42:21Well, I was in the UK anyway,
42:23visiting my daughter.
42:25This was a happy coincidence.
42:27Even so.
42:29Thank you, sir.
42:31Or should I call you Selwyn?
42:33No.
42:35Of course.
42:37I'm not going to laugh at all your jokes.
42:39I'm not going to laugh at all your jokes.
42:41If I'm in you and you're feeling broke.
42:45If I promise this is what I'll do.
42:51Will you love me like I do you?
42:57If I promise you'll be you?
42:59Yes.
43:01If I promise you'll be you.
43:03Yes.
43:04Yes.
43:05Yes.
43:06Yes.
43:07Yes.
43:08As you're doing it.
43:09Yes.
43:10Yes.
43:11Yes.
43:12I'm not going to laugh at all your jokes.
43:13Yes.
43:14Yes.
43:15Yes.
43:16Yes.
43:17Yes.
43:18So, we're here today to witness the marriage of Humphrey and Martha, who are not so much
43:28starting a new life together, but confirming their commitment to each other.
43:33Do you remember our house?
43:37My bedroom is next to your bedroom.
43:42That's right.
43:43To cherish and respect each other throughout our lives together.
43:48Humphrey, I give you this ring.
43:56Oh, yes, um, what is that?
44:03Just don't talk amongst yourself.
44:05Oh, go ahead, go ahead.
44:09Phew.
44:10Sorry?
44:10I give you this ring as a symbol of our love, trust, and marriage.
44:15I give you this ring as a symbol of our love, trust, and marriage.
44:24I promise to care for you above all others, and to give you my love, friendship, and support.
44:32Other finger.
44:33Other finger.
44:34Other finger.
44:35No, the ring.
44:36The other finger.
44:37Oh.
44:38All right.
44:39All right.
44:40All right.
44:41Oh, sorry.
44:42Golly.
44:43Yeah.
44:44Other finger.
44:45Yeah.
44:46And to respect and cherish you throughout our lives together.
44:47And to respect and cherish you throughout our lives together.
44:48And to respect and cherish you throughout our lives together.
44:52And to respect and cherish you throughout our lives together.
44:53And to respect and cherish you throughout our lives together.
44:54And now, a short reading from the best man, Selwyn.
44:59Who is to say what love is?
45:00From the fluttering heart that sees a face long missed, to the tearful, breathless wrench
45:06of a love only ever found in the moment?
45:07What is the love?
45:18Oh.
45:20From the fluttering heart that sees a face long-missed to the tearful, breathless wrench of a love only ever found in the moment.
45:37Or a love that speaks of blood shared, of a bond that can't be broken.
45:50Of a light that can never be dimmed by adversity.
45:58Who is to say what love is?
46:04Because love seeks no favor, nor does it seek permission.
46:11It seeks no title, nor praise, nor reward.
46:20Love simply is.
46:25Love never blames, always forgives, and cannot be diminished by distance.
46:33All weakened by time.
46:39Love is what is left when everything else deserts you.
46:46Who is to say what love is?
46:51Only you.
46:52Because only you know.
46:58At which point, having declared their vows to each other, and through the exchanging of rings, I can very happily declare that Humphrey and Martha are now husband and wife.
47:10Ah, congratulations.
47:28Archie, thank you.
47:30This is perfect.
47:31Worth all the skullduggery.
47:33Definitely.
47:34All those clandestine meetings was a bit like being back in the old days.
47:37Stop.
47:38I'm a married woman.
47:39And I couldn't be happier for you.
47:46It's such a shame he can't find someone.
47:49I mean, he's handsome, rich, generous to a fruit, even makes his own wine.
47:56I mean, there should be a queue around the building.
48:00Though I have to admit that you're a clumsy, annoying, socially awkward, yet quite delightful beanpole.
48:08A new husband is quite a catch, too.
48:13Yes, he is.
48:16Oh, Inspector, we were just comparing notes.
48:19That's mildly terrifying.
48:21It seems you've brought all your annoying traits with you from the Caribbean.
48:24But also your brilliance.
48:26Ah.
48:26Congratulations.
48:28Thank you, Mum.
48:31Commissioner?
48:32It was my pleasure.
48:36Thank you for being here.
48:38And your reading was quite beautiful.
48:40I'm not entirely sure how you managed to convince her to marry you.
48:49You're a very lucky man.
48:52Yes, I am.
48:54Oh.
48:56Ah, excuse me.
48:58Of course.
48:59Inspector Wilson.
49:00Oh.
49:01David and her sister, how'd it go?
49:02Uh, we found her, she agreed to meet him, they're together now.
49:07It was amazing.
49:08So, she was related to Seb the Snowman?
49:11Yeah, she was his step-mom.
49:13Congratulations, everyone.
49:14Well done.
49:14You're amazing.
49:15Yeah, we are.
49:17I think we should reward ourselves with another drink.
49:20Oh, yes.
49:20Good idea.
49:21Come on, sir.
49:22Um, get in.
49:27Everything okay, sir?
49:29That was the new inspector.
49:31He's working on a case in St. Paris.
49:34Well, there seems to be links to the UK which he would like me to look into while I'm here.
49:40Sorry, Selwyn.
49:42Can I steal my house quick?
49:44Be my guest.
49:45Thank you, sir.
49:50All right.
49:51Okay.
49:52Any excuse?
49:57Excuse me?
49:58Just stand next to me.
50:00What did you do?
50:01Pour it into a pot plant?
50:03You wish.
50:04Oh, really?
50:05Yeah.
50:06One, two, two, one, two.
50:08Yeah, that's great.
50:08Maybe I do.
50:11Good evening, ladies and gentlemen.
50:13We are bellowheads!
50:15Can't keep running away.
50:17Mum, come on.
50:18The van's starting.
50:19Well, we finally did it.
50:30Sorry, that one.
50:32Yes, we did.
50:34Happy?
50:35Very.
50:36Ashley, it doesn't matter if you are or not.
50:38There's no escape now.
50:40You're stuck with me.
50:41It's the only place I've ever wanted to be.
50:44Merry Christmas, Mrs. Goodman.
50:46Merry Christmas, Mr. Goodman.
50:48I hear the music play, for I'm walking the morning train.
50:52I won't be back again.
50:54Come on, sir.
50:55Chance.
50:56Well done.
51:23Hear the music play, for I'm walking the morning train.
51:27I won't be back again.
51:29I'm shaking, I'm shaking, I'm shaking, I'm shaking.
51:31Two thousand miles away.
51:33Oh, my God.
51:39Great song.
51:41Congratulations, Mr. and Mrs. Goodman.
51:55I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry, but I'm quite clear
