00:00What do you call an old snowman?
00:04Oh. Mmm.
00:06Forsty!
00:07Forsty!
00:08What?
00:09Forty with an S.
00:11Forresty.
00:13A 40-year-old snowman.
00:15Actually, that's quite right.
00:17Okay, that's just weird.
00:18Only Kelby would even think of that.
00:20So what's the answer anyway?
00:21Water!
00:24I don't get it.
00:25It's melted!
00:26Here it is!
00:27My favourite nephew.
00:29Yeah, can you lot be quiet, please?
00:30Or I will have to call the police.
00:31Call away.
00:32We're all in here.
00:33I'm a plus one.
00:34Actually, plus two.
00:35Yeah.
00:36Haven't you got any Christmas music?
00:37Oh, I'll ask, but...
00:39Mr. Finch isn't a fan.
00:40He says it lowers the tone.
00:42Mmm.
00:43Finch the Grinch.
00:46I can get more drinks, though, Auntie Em.
00:48Go on, then.
00:49Same again all round, I think, Robert.
00:52Did he tell you what he's been doing?
00:54He's been saving all his tips
00:56for the Children's Ward Christmas party.
00:58Aww.
00:59Tell him how much you've got for me.
01:01No, I don't know that.
01:02He said it's nearly 2,000 pounds.
01:05Amazing!
01:06Well done, you!
01:09Oh, I, um...

10:59why would a complete stranger someone i've never met before be sitting on the station doorstep with
11:04a photograph of me in his pocket do you recognize the photo where it was taken when
11:10no but it has to be key maybe it's on social media somewhere something martha or am posted
11:16i could look online yes do that in the meantime let's start with the search a five mile radius
11:22we're looking for a brother and sister living together david and louise
11:25hilton try care homes and sheltered housing first right and check other divisions for missing
11:31personal reports on it margo i got a call from the hub fish's wine bar was broken into last night
11:38after we left no uniforms attended in the early hours of the morning took photos and secured the
11:45building they've asked us to follow up
11:46you're sure you're doing the right thing it was something he said when rosie left about us being
11:58on our own and how we'd have to make do it's always been the same for us all through the ivf and
12:05the fostering the worry lurking under the surface that we needed something else to be happy
12:12we might not be enough for each other on our own and this is the best way i could think of to show
12:20him that all i ever need is him standing next to me holding my hand
12:29this is the best christmas surprise ever it will be if we all do our part so all the boxes are in
12:35the kitchen you need to get them there by four put the closed early sign up outside before you go okay
12:40mom you need to be at the train station by 2 30. this is who you're picking up oh he looks nice he is
12:48bring him back here and if humphrey comes in you'll have to hide him hide him where use your imagination
12:56there's room in the stock cupboard will you mind being in this stock cupboard just do what you need
12:59to humphrey mustn't see him so does everyone know what they're doing yeah go team martha
13:10so much for shipton abbott being devon's hidden gem he's got his scumbags like everywhere else
13:16i blame the parents yeah put two morons together what'd you get surprise this is another moron
13:23uh you were at home when the alarm company called to say there had been a break-in
13:27no i was at friends in palmeron what time about 1 30. it's quite late to go visiting well we're having a
13:34party i said i'd join them when the bar close you can see the door's been jimmied open uh yes can i
13:42ask what was taken i used to go to the bank this morning so this week's taking so far the float i
13:48haven't titled it all up but i reckon north of ten thousand a lot of cash it is christmas people
13:55throwing for the bills so we get more cash than usual can we see inside is there damage anywhere
14:09else no office no then where do they take the cash from from the drawer under the till
14:18is it usual to keep that amount of money in the bar overnight can be depends on when i can get to the
14:23bank water but they're wine bottles i guess someone spilled water on the bar
14:44is that robert's charity tips joe yeah look is this uh gonna take long we're nearly done only i need to
14:50get this cleaned up so i can open can i ask who else would have known you had cash here overnight
14:56no one no way robert robert knew i remember him yesterday asking me if i've been to the bank or not
15:12i can't believe this was anything to do with margot's nephew no let's check where he was last night
15:18after the bar closed and uh check on this party in polmarin too sir
15:33there we are my love a nice fresh cup of tea
15:48okay okay so i spoke to terry finch's friend in polmarin
16:15he confirms that terry arrived there just after midnight and he was with him when he got the call
16:20from the alarm company about the break-in just after 1 30. he took a cab back to the wine bar
16:25because he'd had a drink i've confirmed to the cab company that they picked him up in polmarin and
16:29took him to the bar the uniformed unit were already at the scene and confirmed the break-in happened at
16:331 30. so we can rule out terry finch looks that way
16:40i couldn't find adhesive remover anywhere you'd think i'd be asking for unicorn poo had to go to the
16:47industrial estate
16:48you can't just leave him sitting there what else can i do with him i don't know but this is a
17:00police station we're in here discussing cases look i just gotta get his head off and then i'll get him
17:04on can't you just cut it off no he hired it he can't he's got a hundred pound deposit against any
17:12damage well hurry up uh kelby can you check cctv from the high street last night say between 12
17:20and 2 a.m sir uh what am i looking for ah well anyone in the vicinity of fishes wine bar at around
17:271 30 a.m the unit that attended the break-in sent a report it's in your inbox thanks margot and the
17:32grinch has sent me a full report of what was stolen around 11 000 pounds in cash plus the contents of
17:42robert's charity job there was a big sticker on it too saying it was for charity and that christmas god
17:48that's well bad any leads on the photograph uh i ran the search online but didn't find anything so i
18:00passed it to it see if they have more luck and the sister again nothing so far i'm still waiting
18:06on the missing person reports to come back but i've drawn a blank with electoral register care homes
18:11sheltered housing in a five mile radius looks like we've hit a dead end maybe we should just pass
18:16it on to social services well let's at least keep trying until they go and you're not even going to
18:27warn him no he'll start fretting and when he frets he breaks things right well speaking of someone
18:33surrounded by bottles no one wants that just make sure everything's ready it will be hi thanks for
18:41getting back to me how can one person be on the phone so much every time i call her she's engaged
18:48maybe she's busy i haven't got anything on fishes wine bar it there's no cctv in the alley a few
18:55passes by at the front just after midnight then nothing until the police unit turned up just after
19:011 30. then a cab arrives that's terry finch oh still we still need to speak to robert check his
19:08movements why you don't think he had anything to do with this of course not that's to spark the
19:15investigation margot ticking all the boxes do you know where we can find him
19:21margot yeah well i've got three jobs i do mornings here home deliveries in the afternoon
19:32and fishers four nights a week can you tell us where you were last night after you left the bar up to
19:37about 1 30 a.m uh yeah no i was i was at home can anyone vouch for that uh well no laura is staying
19:46at her mum's with the girls laura's your wife yeah yeah hey um is it true that they took that charity
19:53money from behind the bar too yes they did they would do something like that uh yesterday do you
20:02recall asking terry finch if you've been to the bank uh no oh no wait yes yeah yes i think i did can
20:11ask why oh no no reason i just have to cover the bar if he goes to the sorry am i in trouble no no not
20:19at all um just routine questions oh can you just run us through your shift yesterday starting with
20:25after we left yeah well i mean i was rushed off my feet um mr finch see he won't hire any more staff
20:32he says cutting costs makes us look good to head office hmm you didn't notice anything out of the
20:37ordinary no no no no we had three parties in um we called last orders not long after you guys left and
20:43you know everyone just drifted off what time is that i think we were empty by about half eleven
20:47yeah i wiped down the tables in the bar i put the uh thank you i put the empties in the bottle
20:53crate to be collected the next morning emptied the bins behind the bar normally i'd run the bin bags
20:58out the back but mr finch told me to go home so yeah i think i left by about quarter to twelve then
21:03after you left did you see anyone outside nope it was pretty quiet oh no hold on there was this lunatic
21:13in a snowman suit yeah oh are you sure we can't take this head off yet apparently not glue needs to
21:23soften for another 20 minutes and we can't cut it off because you'll lose its deposit it's a
21:30fine so you were at a party yeah i was at a mate's flat his girlfriend's birthday fancy dress whoa how do you
21:38know that i'm a detective and on your way home you walk through the alley behind the shops on the high
21:43street uh shortcut right did you see anyone particularly anyone at the back of fisher's
21:49wine bar i think i saw a bloke taking the bins out right what time oh maybe just before midnight
21:56oh and then there was this bunch of kids kids yeah about 10 of them on bikes all started taking the
22:02mick obviously how old i don't know 15 16 anyways they all start pushing me around and then one of
22:11them goes oh chuck him in the wheelie bin and so they did couldn't you get out oh i was smashed by then
22:19plus it's surprisingly comfortable in there oh don't remember nothing after that right
22:24silent
22:27what are you thinking
22:27this fresh splinter of wood we found at the scene from the back door yeah but it was only visible
22:35once the bin men had taken the bags away in the morning do you remember they cleared them while we
22:39were there so so so surely that must mean the splinter was under the bags but how can that be when our
22:48snowman saw finch put the bags out before he left the evening it doesn't make any sense we know the
22:54breaking was at 1 30 because that's when the alarm went off exactly
23:07the eagle has landed
23:25oh yeah we uh we thought you might be hungry it's ham and cheese
23:32it's ham and cheese
23:38if you don't like it we can swap it for something else
23:43no rush just just let me know have you found louise
23:48no david not yet but we're looking okay i miss it so much oh mate
23:54hey we know you do don't get upset our inspector he's looking for her and he's amazing
24:14got it that was it they found a match for the image
24:16oh it's from the tavistock chronicle newspaper coverage of the amateur dramatics train murder
24:23they snapped you at the station remember no idea it's definitely the same image
24:28okay good so let's uh focus our search on the tavistock area and see what that throws up
24:33will do all right oh steady you got my skin there
24:42everyone meet seb branner hello seb thank heavens for that oh thank you guys i thought i'd never get
24:49out david got a bit upset started talking about his sister again but he's calmed down a bit poor love
24:59oh hello mate no you're right okay we will show you where the bathroom is you can get the rest of
25:03it off brilliant cheers oh sorry okay i've sent an information request to tavistock police and the town
25:13council so what are you thinking the kids on the bikes no um yeah there were three or four bottles
25:23of pinot grigio smashed on the floor no other damage and there was no empty beer cans no witty
25:29remarks or pictures of genitalia etched on the walls the office was untouched no this wasn't teenagers
25:36i think this was someone who knew the cash was there and where it was robert so you do think bobby was
25:44involved no yes you do i could see it on your faces we're still trying to work out exactly what
25:50happened margot but bobby is a suspect no well yes but only until we eliminate him i'm sorry margot
25:58we don't like it any more than you do but we have to do our job he's the only other person who knew
26:03that cash was there overnight and he's working three jobs so we know money's tight for him and i've known
26:09him his entire life there's no way he could do anything like this we're sure that's true but we have
26:14no buts that boy goes to the children's ward every christmas morning to take them presents do you
26:21really think he'd steal his own charity money and yes he's got three jobs but that's because he's a
26:27hard-working lad trying to provide for his own family not a thief
26:36margot good luck with that
26:44everything all right yeah uh the boxes are in the car
26:52hi mum back yeah she's just in the kitchen making him a sandwich
26:58you're not having second thoughts are you what if he hates it he won't he'll love it you think i know
27:05i'd better go and check on our guest
27:16sir tavistock police no missing person reports in the past week okay but but i still think we're
27:22in the right area so um try gp surgeries next uh social services see if any of them have a patient
27:28called david or louise haylton so
27:44i'm sorry i shouted
27:50i was a bit cross that's perfectly understandable but i stand by what i said
27:54my bobby isn't a thief
28:04so kelby did you get your snowman home
28:07seb yeah i got to meet his new girlfriend's parents yeah they didn't suspect a thing
28:13well he he did have a rash across his neck but he said it was only because he was nervous to meet
28:19him smooth hmm heat rash probably from being in that suit he must have been melting in there
28:26oh hey it's like that joke from last night what do you call an old snowman water
28:34ice that's it melting ice explain
28:41an empty crisp packet what oh no sorry
28:44if this splinter of wood was found underneath the bags of rubbish at the back of fisher's wine bar
28:50then the door must have been forced open before they were put out by terry finch shortly before midnight
29:02except that's not possible because we know the break-in was an hour and a half later what if it wasn't
29:07what if everything was just set up to look like a break-in by whom terry finch yes
29:18sorry but if finch set all this up himself how could the alarm go off at 1 30 in the morning when
29:25we know he was 10 miles away in polmarin because in the words of a song from my youth ice ice baby ice
29:31the pool of water on the bar what about it i thought it was all at the time it was wine bottles that
29:41were broken so how could it be water robert told us he wiped down the bar before he left and
29:48he also said he emptied the bin behind the bar yet it had a plastic bag in it
29:54okay now you're losing me i saw a similar bag at the christmas party sorry
30:09but you'd expect to see a bag used for ice behind a bar wouldn't you yes but if robert emptied the
30:16bin as he said and i have no reason to doubt him why was it there in the morning thank you good night
30:24this is what i think happened i had to carry you tonight all right sorry pull your finger out or
30:29else i'm gonna have to get someone else don't say that mr finch no no no you know i need this job
30:33well maybe you should be thinking more about your kids and less about fawning all over the puns
30:38it's christmas i just wanted everyone to have a good time i told you christmas is for mugs all i'm
30:42interested in is how much they spend all right so less chitty chatting and more serving you got it
30:48yeah got it i think robert did exactly as you said after you cleaned the bar he emptied the bin
30:52leave them i'll take them out no no no it's fine i'll take leave them i'll take them out
30:55i'll do it myself like everything else go on go home i'm sick of looking at you
31:01night mr finch once robert had left finch went straight out to the back door
31:14which is how the splinter of wood got in the alley before the bags of rubbish it's the only thing
31:23that fits my soup smells i feel really sick cheer up mate it's christmas hey hey oh what fun it is to
31:35hey look at this guy all right guys all right let's chuck him in the bin
31:43there was no damage anywhere else no sign of anyone searching the office
31:46so our thief had to know where the money was
31:49but this this was the clever bit
32:05ice defrost at a predetermined pace and therefore makes a perfect time delay switch
32:12so as the ice melts the bottles will fall setting off the alarm precisely
32:42so
32:44so
32:54so
32:56so
33:02By the time Terry Finch arrived at the wine bar, police were already there
33:22and had found the broken back door and broken wine bottles on the floor.
33:25Which would look exactly like a break-in.
33:27I think when Terry got there, he took the plastic ice bag from the bar
33:30and simply threw it in the bin.
33:38But forgot to wipe away the water from the melted ice on the bar.
33:41Precisely.
33:43So, it wasn't Bobby?
33:45No, it was not.
33:51Crikey.
33:52Thank you, Margot.
33:54Kelby, go pick him up.
33:58Oh, Tavistock Social Services.
34:01They've reported one of their care home residents, David Hilton, as missing.
34:06He wasn't in his room when his carer went in this morning.
34:10No mention of his sister, but his daughter and son-in-law are on their way now to pick him up.
34:16Oh, yes.
34:17So he'll be with his family for Christmas.
34:19Well done, everyone.
34:20Kelby called, they've got him, and Margot ran a cheque.
34:41Seems he was sacked from his last job for running up gambling debt on the company credit card.
34:45I see.
34:46So he was a gambler.
34:47Whose luck just ran out?
34:55Hello.
34:56I'm Humphrey.
34:58This is Esther.
35:01He's your dad, is he?
35:02We've been going out of our minds all day.
35:04I'm sure.
35:05Where did you find him?
35:07He found us.
35:08He was sitting on the doorstep when I came in this morning.
35:11Are we going to see Louise now?
35:13Oh, not yet, Dad.
35:15We need to get you home.
35:17Everyone's worried about you.
35:18He's been talking about his sister all day.
35:21I'm sorry.
35:22We'll get him home.
35:23I'm sure you've got more important things to do.
35:24Not at all.
35:26Can I just ask?
35:28He had a photograph of me in his pocket.
35:34You wouldn't happen to know why.
35:37You're Humphrey Goodman.
35:39Yes.
35:39Yes, I am.
35:40Dad, you sit with Keith for a minute, okay?
35:45It won't be long.
35:48Yeah.
35:50You're all right, Dad.
35:51You're all right.
35:54Dad and his sister Louise were adopted.
35:56They lost their parents when he was seven.
35:59They were supposed to go to the same family,
36:00but circumstances changed and they were split up.
36:02They were right.
36:12Oh, God.
36:15Oh, God.
36:18Oh, God.
36:19He tried to look for her over the years, but just hit one dead end after another.
36:37So he just sort of locked it away and got on with his life.
36:41Just became that unspoken thing.
36:43And then he started to get ill, and he was diagnosed as having dementia.
36:52And as his memory started to deteriorate, he started talking about Louise again.
37:00It was as if of all the things he had in his life, she was the thing he was frightened about forgetting the most.
37:07So, we decided to try again.
37:10We hit the same dead ends as before, but this time we found her.
37:15Dad was so excited.
37:17We traced her to Gloucester, where she was adopted by a couple on Christmas Eve in 1968.
37:23They changed her name to theirs, so she became Louise Briggs.
37:26But then she moved away, and we lost all track of her.
37:29But then, the people who bought her old house in Gloucester found an old bank statement dated from around the time she moved away.
37:37But it showed that she made a withdrawal from an ATM and shipped in Abbott.
37:41Sorry.
37:41Oh.
37:42I still don't see why David would have a photograph of me in his pocket.
37:46So, we were at a loss as what to do next.
37:49So, we spoke to Dad about hiring a private detective in the new year.
37:53Someone from Devon who could help us find her.
37:56And Dad saw your picture in the paper and thought you looked like a decent chap, so he was going to call you and ask if you could help.
38:02He can't remember what he had for breakfast, but he can tell you what song was on the radio the day they took Louise away.
38:14It's like he's stuck in that moment, and the hurt is just as real now as it was then.
38:21OK, everyone, let's run a check on the name Louise Briggs.
38:30Town halls, social services, PNC, any other databanks you can get into.
38:35Local HMRC, passport office, DVLA.
38:38Look into local clubs and organisations.
38:40She must be drawing a pension by now, see if that gives us anything.
38:43Sir.
38:45Should we be making these kinds of checks?
38:48Yes, we should, Sergeant, for two very good reasons.
38:50Firstly, it's a missing persons investigation.
38:53Even though they're not missing anymore?
38:55Technically, yes.
38:56And the second?
38:57It's Christmas.
39:00Martha called.
39:01She said she's at the winery ordering stop.
39:03Can you pick her up from there?
39:04And don't be late.
39:05What time's it now?
39:07It's 4.35.
39:08You've got 25 minutes.
39:10OK, quick as you can, everyone.
39:20HALTON.
39:27H-A-L-E-T-O-N.
39:30Although that's her original name, she went on to become Louise Briggs.
39:34Have we got anything else listed under the name Louise Briggs?
39:37No, that's all the information we have.
39:39Could we cross-reference her date of birth against anything else?
39:42All we know for sure is she left Gloucester around four years ago and the thing came to ship the nabbit, or at least somewhere in this area.
39:50OK, let me see if I can find that. I'll come back to you.
39:54They need a national insurance number.
39:56You'd better go.
39:57Five more minutes.
39:58OK, well, thanks for trying.
40:01Bye.
40:02Nothing.
40:03Say again?
40:05But her adopted name was definitely Louise Briggs.
40:10Well, is there an address on the records?
40:14If you would.
40:15You got my number.
40:17OK, thanks, Jess.
40:21There was Louise Briggs married in patent registry office four years ago.
40:25She declared her former name as Hilton.
40:27So it's her?
40:28It has to be.
40:30Her married name is Branner, but they couldn't see an address for her.
40:33They're checking, but, you know, they can't guarantee it'll be today.
40:37Branner.
40:38I've heard that somewhere.
40:39Yeah.
40:42Seb, the snowman.
40:44Oh.
40:45Yeah.
40:45Of course.
40:47You go.
40:48We'll do this.
40:48Oh, no, I...
40:49No.
40:53Right, let's call Seb.
40:57Come on through.
41:04She should be around here somewhere.
41:07Ah.
41:08Hello, love.
41:08All right, Lou.
41:09Guys, this is my setman.
41:12Uh, Louise, this is Esther and Margot.
41:15Hi.
41:15Louise, we're from Shipton Abbot Police.
41:17It's nothing to worry about.
41:19Gonna let Margot take the lead on this one.
41:21Um, Louise, we believe you had an older brother.
41:25No, you were in the separate room.
41:27Yeah.
41:28Well, we found it.
41:29Oh.
41:29I'm here.
41:55Oh.
41:57Hi.
41:58You're late.
41:58Yes.
42:01What's going on?
42:02We're getting married.
42:04What?
42:04Come on.
42:10He's here.
42:12Ah.
42:13Oh, good Lord.
42:15You mean we're really getting married?
42:17I just told you.
42:18Yes, but I thought it a metaphor.
42:20For?
42:21For something else.
42:23You just don't want to get married, don't you?
42:24Yes, of course I do, but...
42:27I mean, why the big secret?
42:30Because whenever we've planned it properly, it's always gone wrong.
42:34And so I just thought I'd sneak up on you.
42:38Because after Rosie left, I wanted to show you that as hard as it was losing her,
42:44it was kind of all right because I still had you.
42:47And you're enough.
42:50Shall we get married, then?
42:56Yes, please.
42:57Yes.
43:01You'll need to change.
43:03And I nearly forgot.
43:05I found you a best man, too.
43:09Dad!
43:10Crikey!
43:11Commissioner!
43:13Nice of you to join us, Inspector Goodman.
43:21He's here.
43:21Honey, do you want to take over?
43:33Dad.
43:35Look over there.
43:38It's Louise.
43:39Louise.
43:39David.
43:52David.
44:01Yeah.
44:06Yeah.
44:06Yeah.
44:06Yeah.
44:06Yeah.
44:06Yeah.
44:07Yeah.
44:08I can't believe you've come all this way just for me.
44:17I didn't.
44:19Oh.
44:21I was in the UK anyway, visiting my daughter.
44:24This was a happy coincidence.
44:27Even so.
44:29Thank you, sir.
44:30Well, should I call you Selwyn?
44:33No.
44:34Of course.
44:38If I'm in you and you're feeling broke, if I promise this is what I'll do, will you love me like I do you?
44:56If I hold you when the world is great, if I try to take me away...
45:05Wait!
45:06Whoa.
45:07What are you doing?
45:08It's in time.
45:09What?
45:10Okay.
45:11Wait.
45:18So, we're here today to witness the marriage of Humphrey and Martha, who are not so much starting a new life together, but confirming their commitment to each other.
45:29Do you remember our house?
45:31My bedroom is next to your bedroom.
45:38That's right.
45:39To cherish and respect each other throughout our lives together.
45:47Humphrey.
45:48Humphrey.
45:48Humphrey.
45:49I give you this ring.
45:52Oh, yes.
45:52Humphrey.
45:52I give you this ring as a symbol of our love, trust, and marriage.
46:10I give you this ring as a symbol of our love, trust, and marriage.
46:18I promise to care for you above all others, and to give you my love, friendship, and support.
46:25I promise to care for you above all others, and to give you my love, friendship, and support.
46:36And to respect and cherish you throughout our lives together.
46:53And to respect and cherish you throughout our lives together.
47:00And now, a short reading from the best man, Selwyn.
47:07Who is to say what love is?
47:12From the fluttering heart that sees a face long missed,
47:17to the tearful, breathless wrench of a love only ever found in the moment.
47:24Or a love that speaks of blood shared.
47:34Of a bond that can't be broken.
47:41Of a light that can never be dimmed by adversity.
47:45Who is to say what love is?
47:53Because love seeks no favor.
47:58Nor does it seek permission.
48:02It seeks no title.
48:06No praise or reward.
48:09Love simply is.
48:11Love never blames, always forgives,
48:18and cannot be diminished by distance.
48:22Or weakened by time.
48:26Love is what is left when everything else deserts you.
48:33Who is to say what love is?
48:36Only you.
48:40Because only you know.
48:45At which point, having declared their vows to each other,
48:49and through the exchanging of rings,
48:51I can very happily declare
48:53that Humphrey and Martha are now husband and wife.
48:56Ah, congratulations.
49:13Archie, thank you.
49:15This is perfect.
49:16Worth all the skullduggery?
49:18Definitely.
49:19All those clandestine meetings
49:20was a bit like being back in the old days.
49:22Stop.
49:23I'm a married woman.
49:23And I couldn't be happier for you.
49:30It's such a shame he can't find something.
49:33I mean, he's handsome, rich,
49:37generous to a fault,
49:39even makes his own wine.
49:40I mean, there should be a queue around the building.
49:42Though I have to admit
49:45that your clumsy, annoying, socially awkward,
49:48yet quite delightful beanpole,
49:51a new husband,
49:53is quite a catch, too.
49:56Yes, he is.
49:59Oh, Inspector, we were just comparing notes.
50:02That's mildly terrifying.
50:04It seems you've brought all your annoying traits
50:05with you from the Caribbean.
50:07But also your brilliance.
50:09Ah.
50:10Congratulations.
50:10Thank you, Mum.
50:13Commissioner?
50:14It was my pleasure.
50:18Thank you for being here.
50:20And your reading was quite beautiful.
50:23I'm not entirely sure
50:25how you managed to convince her
50:28to marry you.
50:30Oh.
50:31You're a very lucky man.
50:33Yes, I am.
50:35Ah.
50:37Ah.
50:38Excuse me.
50:39Of course.
50:39Inspector Wilson.
50:40Oh.
50:42David and her sister,
50:43how'd it go?
50:43Uh, we found her.
50:45She agreed to meet him.
50:46They're together now.
50:47It was amazing.
50:49So she was related to Seth the Snowman?
50:51Yeah, she was his stepmom.
50:53Congratulations, everyone.
50:54Well done.
50:55You're amazing.
50:55Yeah, we are.
50:56I think we should reward ourselves
50:59with another drink.
51:00Oh, yes.
51:00Good idea.
51:01Come on, sir.
51:02Um.
51:07Everything okay, sir?
51:08That was the new inspector.
51:10He's working on a case
51:12in St. Paris.
51:13Well, there seems to be links
51:15to the UK
51:15which
51:16you would like me to look into
51:18while I'm here.
51:18Yeah.
51:19Sorry, Selwyn.
51:21Can I steal my husband?
51:22Meet my guest.
51:24Thank you, sir.
51:29All right.
51:29Okay.
51:30Have a look at the cake.
51:32Hi.
51:33Any excuse?
51:35Excuse me?
51:35Yeah.
51:36To stand next to me.
51:38What did you do?
51:39Pour it into a pot plant?
51:40You wish.
51:42Oh, really?
51:43Yeah.
51:43One, two.
51:45Two, one, two.
51:45Yeah, that's great.
51:46Maybe I do.
51:46Good evening, ladies and gentlemen.
51:50We are Bellaheads.
51:52You can't keep running away.
51:54Mum, come on.
51:55The band's starting.
52:03Well,
52:04we finally did it.
52:06Sorry, that was.
52:08Yes, we did.
52:10Happy?
52:12Very.
52:12Actually, it doesn't matter
52:13if you are or not.
52:14There's no escape now.
52:15you're stuck with me.
52:17It's the only person
52:18I've ever wanted to be.
52:20Merry Christmas,
52:21Mr. Skidman.
52:22Merry Christmas,
52:23Mr. Goodman.
52:28Come on!
52:30Well done!

53:03Well done!
53:04Well done!
53:05Well done!
