00:00Oh, come ye faithful, joyful and joyous.
00:11Oh, come ye faithful, joyful and joyous.
00:21CHOIR SINGS
00:51Oh, right. Here we go. What do you call an old snowman? Oh. Hmm. Frosty. Frosty? What? Wait. Forty with an S. Foresty. A 40-year-old snowman. Mum? Actually, that's quite bright. Okay, that's just weird. Only Kelby would even think of that.
01:20So what's the answer anyway? Water. I don't get it. It's melting. Here he is. Oh, yeah. My favourite nephew. Yeah, can you let me quiet, please, or I will have to call the police. Fall away. We're all in here. I'm a plus one. Actually, plus two. Yeah.
01:50Well, then. Same again all round, I think, Robert. Did he tell you what he's been doing? He's been saving all his tips for the children's ward Christmas party.
02:00Aww. Tell him how much you got, Bobby. Oh, I don't know that. He said it's nearly 2,000 pounds. Amazing. Well done, you.
02:09Oh. Oh, I, um... Can I get those drinks? Hmm. He's so lovely. Yeah. He is.
02:20I'm paying you to work and not have a family with you. Sorry. Yeah, I was just taking their drinks order.
02:26And they wanted to know if they could have any Christmas music. Well, they want Shaker Stevens. Wham. Wizard.
02:31I asked you to bring the ice out over ten minutes ago. Sorry. Sorry. Yeah, I'll do it now.
02:35No, don't bother. I'll get it myself.
02:39Right, now, I'm just off for a Christmas tinkle.
02:42Oh, Tian. Make sure you wash your hands.
02:45Sorry.
02:46No, I can't.
02:47No, I can't.
03:05No, I can't.
03:24Was everything okay?
03:26Oh, yes, it was, darling. You did me proud.
03:31Oh, good.
03:33Oh, I'd better get back to work.
03:34Oh, good.
03:36Yeah.
03:36Come on, Margot.
03:37Yeah, come.
03:38Ready, Margot?
03:39Good King, when's this last night down?
03:42Look down, the beast's cosly.
03:45I know.
03:45When did I snowman?
03:47I can't go.
03:48Sorry.
03:49Oh, yeah.
03:54Oh!
03:55Ha, ha, ha, ha.
03:56See?
03:57I can't get it.
03:57I can't get it.
03:59I can't get it.
04:00I can't get it.
04:01I can't get it.
04:01I can't get it.
04:02I can't get it.
04:02I can't get it.
04:03I can't get it.
04:03I can't get it.
04:04I can't get it.
04:05I can't get it.
04:06I can't get it.
04:10He's the one.
04:11Oh, my God.
04:14Celebrate.
04:15Nice to have you there.
04:16Thank you, Mary.
04:17Hello, sir, you okay there my love you waiting for someone
04:47Oh, you're freezing. How long have you been here?
04:54Do you need something?
05:17Okay, so can I ask why you open the bin?
05:45Fish. You were looking for fish?
05:48No, I got fish. I was looking for veg.
05:50Why?
05:51They throw it out at the end of the day, see.
05:53There's nothing wrong with most of it. I've got a nice bit of broccoli for my salmon.
05:57I mean, I had to trim it up a bit, but the really mangy stuff, I cut up and I use it for feed.
06:03Oh, for the fish?
06:04For the rabbit.
06:06Right, and what time was this?
06:09Quarter to nine. I know that because I had to get the veg back to Janet for 5-2.
06:15The rabbit?
06:16My wife's sister. She cuts up the veg for the rabbit, but she leaves for work at nine. Banksy.
06:24She works at the banks?
06:26No, the rabbit's called Banksy. After that artist fella. The one who draws on walls.
06:33Okay.
06:34He's not dead. I saw him breathing.
06:37Banksy?
06:39No, the bloke in the bin.
06:43Oh.
07:06Morning.
07:07Oh, that looks nice.
07:08Oh, yes.
07:09Oh, for me.
07:10This way.
07:14Who's your friend?
07:16I found him in a wheelie bin. His name's Seb. And he had a bit too much to drink last night, didn't you, Seb?
07:23Well, you know you've had a good night when you wake up in a wheelie bin.
07:28You taking him home?
07:29Not yet. Can't get his head off. He said his mates glued it on.
07:34Oh, dear.
07:36You'll need some adhesive remover. I'll take him. You go and get some. Come on. Right, let's step carefully.
07:47Careful.
07:48We will be.
07:49Okay.
07:50I've got you.
07:51Oh.
07:52Oh.
07:53Oh.
07:54My nap.
07:55Layers.
07:56Yeah.
07:57Oh.
07:58There's an exhibition on at the town hall tonight. Christmas through the decades.
08:04We're going Christmas shopping, remember?
08:05They built replica rooms from every decade.
08:06From the noughties back through the nineties, the eighties, seventies, the sixties.
08:19You need to finish by five.
08:20Okay, I'll try.
08:21You promised.
08:22Right.
08:23Say it out loud.
08:25I will finish at five.
08:26Good.
08:27Let's hope Shipton Abbott's criminal fraternity don't get to hear about this. We could have
08:40a six o'clock frenzy.
08:42Oh.
08:43Hello.
08:44I'm not sure which question to ask first.
08:57Good morning, Margot.
09:13Morning.
09:14I, er, see you brought your friend in.
09:18He's not my friend.
09:19Kelby found him in a wheelie bin.
09:22Excellent.
09:23Oh.
09:24This is the, er, the exhibition at the town hall.
09:28Yeah.
09:29Christmas through the decades.
09:31I can get you tickets for that.
09:33My step-mum's one of the organizers.
09:35I get a family discount.
09:36Huh.
09:37Margot?
09:38Oh, I'm busy tonight.
09:49There's nothing wrong with this.
09:51Oh, sorry.
09:52Something wrong with it, I think.
09:54Hmm.
09:55Oh.
09:56Oh.
09:57Margot?
09:58Hmm.
09:59Why exactly is the snowman here?
10:00His head's glued on.
10:01And he's refusing to go home because his new girlfriend's mum and dad are there.
10:04They've come down for Christmas to meet him.
10:05Oh.
10:06Worried about giving them the wrong impression.
10:07Well, hard not to when he dressed in a snowman's and he was smelling a wheelie bin.
10:22Fair enough.
10:23Hmm.
10:24You don't have the facilities.
10:25Oh.
10:26As soon as you can, please.
10:30Problem?
10:31There was a chap sitting on the doorstep when I opened up.
10:33His name's David, but he seems a bit confused.
10:36So I've put him in the interview room with a cup of tea.
10:38That's a very nice thing to do.
10:40Oh, I've been trying to get social services to come and collect him, but they haven't got anyone free.
10:44I mean, I've made it as comfortable for him as I can in there.
10:48The odd thing was, this is the only thing he had with him.
10:56Weird.
10:58David, is it?
11:03David, we're just a little bit confused about why you have a photograph of me in your pocket.
11:10Did I?
11:14You don't recall why?
11:20Take time.
11:24Have we ever met?
11:28I need to find my sister.
11:30Your sister? Is that why you're here?
11:32Louise.
11:33That's her name.
11:34Can you help me?
11:40We can try.
11:42Do you and your sister live together?
11:48Yes.
11:52Only it's Christmas, you see.
11:56I really need to find her.
11:59Where do you and your sister live, David?
12:01David.
12:03Is there an address you can give us?
12:10I'm sorry.
12:12I'm not made much help, am I?
12:15Do you live in Shitton Abbott?
12:20I really need to find her.
12:22Well, it's all right.
12:24Don't upset yourself. We'll work it out.
12:25It would help if we had a full name.
12:29David.
12:31I...
12:40I'll write it down, shall I?
12:42Can you, um...
12:43Can you spell it for me?
12:45David...
12:47H...
12:49A-L-E-G-O-N.
12:51Hilton.
12:56And there was nothing else in his pockets at all?
12:59Uh...
13:00A bit of loose change.
13:01No wallet, no credit cards, no phone, nothing.
13:04Why would a complete stranger, someone I've never met before,
13:08be sitting on the station doorstep with a photograph of me in his pocket?
13:12Do you recognise the photo?
13:14Where it was taken, when?
13:16No.
13:18Maybe it's on social media somewhere, something Martha or Anne posted.
13:22I could look online.
13:23Yes, do that.
13:25In the meantime, let's start with the search, a five mile radius.
13:28We're looking for a brother and sister living together, David and Louise Hilton.
13:32Try care homes and sheltered housing first.
13:34Right.
13:36And check other divisions for missing person reports.
13:38On it.
13:40Margot?
13:41I got a call from the hub.
13:43Fish's wine bar was broken into last night, after we left.
13:46No.
13:48Uniforms attended, in the early hours of the morning.
13:51Took photos and secured the building.
13:53The vastest to follow up.
13:59You're sure you're doing the right thing?
14:01It was something he said when Rosie left, about us being on our own.
14:07And how we'd have to make do.
14:09It's always been the same for us.
14:12All through the IVF, then the fostering.
14:15The worry lurking under the surface that we needed something else to be happy.
14:21That we might not be enough for each other on our own.
14:23And this is the best way I could think of to show him that all I ever need is him, standing next to me, holding my hand.
14:38This is the best Christmas surprise ever.
14:41It will be, if we all do our part.
14:44So, all the boxes are in the kitchen.
14:46You need to get them there by four.
14:48Put the closed early sign up outside before you go.
14:50Okay.
14:51You need to be at the train station by 2.30.
14:54This is who you're picking up.
14:56Oh, he looks nice.
14:58He is.
14:59Bring him back here.
15:00And if Humphrey comes in, you'll have to hide him.
15:03Hide him? Where?
15:05Use your imagination.
15:07There's room in the stock cupboard.
15:08Will you mind being in the stock cupboard?
15:10Just do what you need to.
15:12Humphrey mustn't see him.
15:13So, does everyone know what they're doing?
15:15Yeah.
15:17Go team Martha.
15:19Woo!
15:23So much for Shipton Abbott being Devon's hidden gem.
15:26He's got his scumbags like everywhere else.
15:28I blame the parents.
15:30Put two morons together.
15:31What did you get?
15:32Surprise.
15:33Here's another moron.
15:35Er, you were at home when the alarm company called to say there had been a break-in?
15:39No, I was at Friends in Palmeron.
15:41What time?
15:43About 1.30.
15:44It's quite late to go visiting.
15:46Well, we're having a party.
15:47I said I'd join them when the bar had closed.
15:50You can see the door's been jimmied open.
15:53Er, yes.
15:55Can I ask what was taken?
15:57I asked you to go to the bank this morning, so this week's taking so far.
16:01The float, I haven't tightened it all up, but I reckon north of 10,000.
16:06A lot of cash?
16:08It is Christmas.
16:09People throw in for the bills, so we get more cash than usual.
16:12Can we see inside?
16:18No.
16:22Is there damage anywhere else?
16:23No.
16:25Office?
16:26No.
16:28Then where did they take the cash from?
16:29From the drawer under the till.
16:33Is it usual to keep that amount of money in the bar overnight?
16:36Can be.
16:37Depends on when I can get to the bank.
16:42Water.
16:48But they're wine bottles.
16:50I guess someone spilled water on the bar.
17:00Is that Robert's charity tips, Joe?
17:02Yeah.
17:03Look, is this, er, gonna take long?
17:05We're nearly done.
17:06Only I need to get this cleaned up so I can open.
17:08Can I ask?
17:09Who else would have known you had cash here overnight?
17:12No one.
17:13No way.
17:14Robert.
17:15Robert knew.
17:17I remember him yesterday asking me if I'd been to the bank or not.
17:20I can't believe this was anything to do with Margo's nephew.
17:32No.
17:33Let's check where he was last night after the bar closed and, er, check on this party in Polmarin, too.
17:39Sir?
17:40There we are, my love.
17:41A nice, fresh cup of tea.
17:54A nice, fresh cup of tea.
17:55A nice, fresh cup of tea.
18:14Okay, thanks. Bye.
18:16Okay, so I spoke to Terry Finch's friend in Polmarin.
18:35He confirms that Terry arrived there just after midnight and he was with him when he got the call from the alarm company about the break-in just after 1.30.
18:43He took a cab back to the wine bar because he'd had a drink.
18:46I've confirmed with the cab company that they picked him up in Polmarin and took him to the bar.
18:50The uniformed unit were already at the scene and confirmed the break-in happened at 1.30.
18:54So we can rule out Terry Finch?
18:57Looks that way.
19:01I couldn't find adhesive remover anywhere.
19:04You'd think I'd be asking for unicorn poo.
19:08Had to go to the industrial estate.
19:18You can't just leave him sitting there.
19:20What else can I do with him?
19:21I don't know, but this is a police station. We're in here discussing cases.
19:24Look, I've just got to get his head off and then I'll get him on.
19:28Can't you just cut it off?
19:30No, hang on. He hired it. He can't.
19:33He's got a £100 deposit against any damage.
19:36Well, hurry up.
19:38Er, Kelby, can you check CCTV from the High Street last night, say between 12 and 2am?
19:45Sure. Er, what am I looking for?
19:46Er, well, anyone in the vicinity of Fisher's Wine bar at around 1.30am.
19:51The unit that attended the break-in sent a report. It's in your inbox.
19:54Thanks, Margot.
19:56And the Grinch sent me a full report of what was stolen.
19:59Around £11,000 in cash, plus the contents of Robert's charity job.
20:08There was a big sticker on it, too, saying it was for charity.
20:11And that Christmas.
20:12God, that's well bad.
20:14Any leads on the photograph?
20:21Er, I ran the search online but didn't find anything, so I passed it to IT.
20:26See if they have more luck.
20:28And the, er, sister?
20:29Again, nothing so far.
20:31I'm still waiting on the missing person reports to come back,
20:33but I've drawn a blank with electoral register, care homes, sheltered housing in a five-mile radius.
20:39Looks like we've hit a dead end. Maybe we should just pass it on to social services.
20:43Well, let's at least keep trying until they go.
20:53And you're not even going to warn him?
20:55No.
20:56He'll start fretting, and when he frets, he breaks things.
20:59Right, well, speaking of someone surrounded by bottles, no-one wants that.
21:03Just make sure everything's ready.
21:05It will be.
21:06Ah.
21:07Hi.
21:08Thanks for getting back to me.
21:10How can one person be on the phone so much?
21:14Every time I call her, she's engaged.
21:16Maybe. She's busy.
21:18I haven't got anything on Fisher's Weimar.
21:21There's no CCTV in the alley.
21:23A few passers-by at the front just after midnight, then nothing until the police unit turned up just after 1.30.
21:30Then a cab arrives.
21:32That's Terry Finch.
21:33Oh, still.
21:34Careful.
21:35We still need to speak to Robert, check his movements.
21:37Mm-hmm.
21:38Why?
21:41You don't think he had anything to do with this?
21:43Of course not.
21:44That's to spark the investigation, Margot.
21:46Ticking all the boxes.
21:47Do you know where we can find him?
21:49It's burning.
21:50Oh.
21:51Calm down.
21:52Careful.
21:53Yeah, well, I've got three jobs.
21:56I do mornings here, home deliveries in the afternoon, and Fisher's four nights a week.
22:04Can you tell us where you were last night after you left the bar up to about 1.30am?
22:08Uh, yeah, no, I was at home.
22:10Can anyone vouch for that?
22:12Uh, well, no.
22:15Uh, Laura is staying at her mum's with the girls.
22:18Laura's your wife?
22:19Yeah.
22:20Yeah.
22:21Hey, um, is it true that they took that charity money from behind the bar, too?
22:27Yes, they did.
22:29Who would do something like that?
22:31Uh, yesterday, do you recall asking Terry Finch if he'd been to the bank?
22:36Uh, no.
22:38Oh, no, wait, yes.
22:40Yeah, yes.
22:42I think I did.
22:43Can I ask why?
22:44Oh, no, no reason.
22:45I'd just have to cover the bar if he goes to the...
22:49Sorry, am I in trouble?
22:50No.
22:51No, not at all.
22:52Um, just routine questions.
22:54Oh.
22:55Can you just run us through your shift yesterday, starting with after we left?
22:59Yeah, well, I mean, I was rushed off my feet.
23:02Um, Mr Finch, see, he won't hire any more staff.
23:05He says cutting costs makes us look good to head office.
23:08Hmm.
23:09Uh, you didn't notice anything out of the ordinary?
23:11No.
23:12No, no, no, no.
23:13We had three parties in.
23:14Um, we called last orders not long after you guys left and, you know, everyone just drifted
23:18off.
23:19What time was that?
23:20Uh, I think we were empty by about half eleven.
23:21Yeah.
23:22I wiped down the tables in the bar.
23:24I put the, uh, thank you, I put the empties in the bottle crate to be collected the next
23:29morning.
23:30Emptied the bins behind the bar.
23:31Normally I'd run the bin bags out of the back, but Mr Finch told me to go home, so,
23:35yeah.
23:36I think I left by about quarter to twelve.
23:38Then after you left, did you see anyone outside?
23:40Nope.
23:41It was pretty quiet.
23:42Oh, no, hold on.
23:45There was this lunatic in a snowman suit.
23:50Yeah.
23:51Oh.
23:52Are you sure we can't take this head off yet?
23:57Apparently not.
23:58Glue needs to soften for another twenty minutes.
24:01And we can't cut it off because he'll lose his deposit.
24:04It's a dep...
24:06Fine.
24:07So, you were at a party?
24:09Yeah.
24:10I was at a mate's flat.
24:11His girlfriend's birthday.
24:13Fancy dress.
24:14Whoa.
24:15How do you know that?
24:16I'm a detective.
24:17And on your way home, you walked through the alley behind the shops on the high street?
24:21Uh, shortcut.
24:22Right.
24:23Did you see anyone?
24:24Particularly anyone at the back of Fisher's wine bar?
24:27I think I saw a bloke taking the bins out.
24:30Right, what time?
24:31Oh, maybe just before midnight.
24:33Oh, and then there was this bunch of kids.
24:36Kids?
24:37Yeah.
24:38About ten of them.
24:39On bikes.
24:40All started taking the mick, obviously.
24:41How old?
24:42Dunno.
24:43Fifteen.
24:44Sixteen.
24:45Anyways, they all start pushing me around.
24:48And then one of them goes,
24:49Oh, chuck him in the wheelie bin.
24:52And so they did.
24:53Couldn't you get out?
24:54Oh, I was smashed by then.
24:57Plus, they're surprisingly comfortable in there.
24:59Don't remember nothing after that.
25:01Right.
25:02Sergeant.
25:03What are you thinking?
25:06This fresh splinter of wood we found at the scene.
25:10From the back door?
25:11Yeah.
25:12Yeah.
25:13But it was only visible once the bin men had taken the bags away in the morning.
25:16Do you remember?
25:17They cleared them while we were there.
25:19So?
25:20So?
25:21So surely that must mean the splinter was under the bags.
25:27But how can that be?
25:28When our snowman saw Finch put the bags out before he left the evening.
25:32It doesn't make any sense.
25:34We know the break-in was at 1.30 because that's when the alarm went off.
25:37Exactly.
25:38The eagle has landed.
26:04Hiya.
26:05We, er, we thought you might be hungry.
26:11It's ham and cheese.
26:13It's ham and cheese.
26:17It's ham and cheese?
26:19If you don't like it, we can swap it for something else.
26:24Er, no rush.
26:27Just, just let me know.
26:28Have you found Louise?
26:30No, David.
26:32Not yet.
26:33But we're looking, okay?
26:34I miss her so much.
26:36Oh, mate.
26:38Hey.
26:41We know you do.
26:43Don't get upset, alright?
26:45Our inspector, he's looking for her.
26:49And he's amazing.
26:58Got it.
26:59That was IT.
27:00They found a match for the image.
27:01Ah.
27:02It's from the Tavistock Chronicle newspaper.
27:05Coverage of the amateur dramatics train murder.
27:08They snapped you at the station, remember?
27:10No idea.
27:11It's definitely the same image.
27:13Okay, good.
27:14So let's focus our search on the Tavistock area and see what that throws up.
27:18Will do.
27:19Alright.
27:20All steady.
27:21Yeah, well, you got my skin there.
27:23Oh!
27:24Oh!
27:25Oh!
27:26Oh!
27:27Everyone.
27:28Meet Seb Branagh.
27:30Hello, Seb.
27:31Thank heavens for that.
27:33Oh, thank you guys.
27:34I thought I'd never get out.
27:35David got a bit upset.
27:38Started talking about his sister again.
27:41But, he's calmed down a bit.
27:43Poor love.
27:45Oh, hello mate.
27:46Oh, you alright?
27:47Now, Kelby will show you where the bathroom is.
27:49You can get the rest of it off.
27:50Brilliant.
27:51Cheers.
27:52Oh, sorry.
27:53Yep.
27:54Okay.
27:55You alright?
27:56I've sent an information request to Tavistock police and the town council.
28:01Mm-hmm.
28:02So, what are you thinking?
28:04The kids on the bikes?
28:06No.
28:08Yeah.
28:09There were three or four bottles of Pinot Grigio smashed on the floor.
28:13No other damage.
28:14There was no empty beer cans, no witty remarks or pictures of genitalia etched on the floor.
28:19The office was untouched.
28:20The office was untouched.
28:22No, this wasn't teenagers.
28:24I think this was someone who knew the cash was there and where it was.
28:30Robert?
28:31So you do think Bobby was involved?
28:33No.
28:34Yes, you do.
28:35I can see it on your faces.
28:37We're still trying to work out exactly what happened, Margot.
28:40But Bobby's a suspect.
28:42No.
28:43Well, yes, but only until we eliminate him.
28:47I'm sorry, Margot.
28:48We don't like it any more than you do, but we have to do our job.
28:51He's the only other person who knew that cash was there overnight.
28:54And he's working three jobs, so we know money's tight for him.
28:58And I've known him his entire life.
29:01There's no way he could do anything like this.
29:03Yes, we're sure that's true, but we have to...
29:05There's no buts.
29:06That boy goes to the children's ward every Christmas morning to take them presents.
29:11Do you really think he'd steal his own charity money?
29:15And yes, he's got three jobs, but that's because he's a hard-working lad trying to provide for his own family, not a thief!
29:28Margot!
29:30Good luck with that.
29:41Everything all right?
29:42Yeah, the boxes are in the car.
29:44Hi.
29:45Mum back?
29:46Yeah, she's just in the kitchen making him a sandwich.
29:50You're not having second thoughts, are you?
29:53What if he hates it?
29:54He won't.
29:55He'll love it.
29:57You think?
29:58I know.
30:01I'd better go and check on our guest.
30:09Sir, Tavistock Police.
30:11No missing person reports in the past week.
30:14Okay.
30:15But I still think we're in the right area, so try GP surgeries next, social services.
30:20See if any of them have a patient called David or Louise Hilton.
30:23Sir.
30:24I'm sorry I shouted.
30:29I'm sorry I shouted.
30:42I was a bit cross.
30:46It's perfectly understandable.
30:47But I stand by what I said.
30:49My Bobby isn't a thief.
30:59So, Kelby, did you get your snowman home?
31:02Seb.
31:03Yeah.
31:04Got to meet his new girlfriend's parents.
31:06Yeah, they didn't suspect a thing.
31:08Well, he did have a rash across his neck.
31:12But he said it was only because he was nervous to meet him.
31:16Smooth.
31:18Heat rash probably from being in that suit.
31:20He must have been melting in there.
31:22Oh, hey, it's like that joke from last night.
31:25What do you call an old snowman?
31:28Water.
31:30Ice!
31:32That's it.
31:34Melting ice.
31:36Explain.
31:39An empty crisp packet.
31:40What?
31:41Oh, no, sorry.
31:43If this splinter of wood was found underneath the bags of rubbish at the back of Fisher's wine bar,
31:49then the door must have been forced open before they were put out by Terry Finch shortly before midnight.
32:01Except that's not possible, because we know the break-in was an hour and a half later.
32:06What if it wasn't?
32:07What if everything was just set up to look like a break-in?
32:14By whom?
32:15Terry Finch.
32:16Yes!
32:18Sorry.
32:19But if Finch set all this up himself, how could the alarm go off at 1.30 in the morning when we know he was ten miles away in Polmarin?
32:27Because in the words of a song from my youth,
32:29Ice, ice, baby, ice!
32:33Remember!
32:35The pool of water on the bar.
32:38What about it?
32:39I thought it was all at the time.
32:40It was wine bottles that were broken, so how could it be water?
32:45Robert told us he wiped down the bar before he left.
32:48And he also said he emptied the bin behind the bar, yet it had a plastic bag in it.
32:57Okay, now you're losing me.
33:02I saw a similar bag at the Christmas party.
33:07Sorry.
33:11But you'd expect to see a bag used for ice behind a bar, wouldn't you?
33:15Yes, but if Robert emptied the bin as he said, and I have no reason to doubt him, then why was it there in the morning?
33:23Thank you, good night.
33:27This is what I think happened.
33:28I had to carry you tonight.
33:30Right, sorry.
33:31Pull your finger out or else I'm going to have to get someone else.
33:33Don't say that.
33:34Mr Finch, no, no, no, you know I need this job.
33:36Well, maybe you should be thinking more about your kids and less about fawning all over the puns.
33:41It's just, it's Christmas. I just wanted everyone to have a good time.
33:43I told you, Christmas is for mugs. All I'm interested in is how much they spend.
33:48Right, so less chitty-chatting and more serving. You got it?
33:51Yep, got it.
33:52I think Robert did exactly as you said. After you cleaned the bar, he emptied the bin.
33:56Leave him, I'll take him out.
33:57No, no, no, it's fine, I'll take him out.
33:58Leave him, I'll take him out. I'll do it myself, like everything else. Go on, go home. I'm sick of looking at you.
34:05Night, Mr Finch.
34:06And once Robert had left, Finch went straight out to the back door.
34:11Which is how this splinter of wood got in the alley before the bags of rubbish?
34:28It's the only thing that fits.
34:31My soup smells, my soup smells, I feel really sick. Cheer up, Pete, it's Christmas!
34:38Hey!
34:40Oh, what fun it is to watch.
34:42Hey, look at this guy.
34:43Oh, all right, kids. All right, guys. Let's chuck him in the bin.
34:50There was no damage anywhere else, no sign of anyone searching the office, so our thief had to know where the money was.
35:01But this, this was the clever bit.
35:13Ice defrost at a predetermined pace.
35:16And therefore, makes a perfect time delay switch.
35:21So as the ice melts, the bottles will fall.
35:26Setting off the alarm?
35:27Precisely.
35:31This, this is true.
35:32So as the 똑 that you're with, I wish you all to Cheng�� is the guy who's been in,
35:33which would you jump on for some?
35:34It's likely I think the best Trying to be with you!
35:35Yeah, I think he's dead.
35:36TasteSalень is the guy who's Homeric,
35:37but you should check it out…
35:39Let's go to
35:43Well that's going to be where I'm ever ще true.
35:49Then he is just here to try.
35:57Though for க that's getting aituation,
35:59Have you ever been someone經 against anybody!
36:00I'm sorry.
36:30By 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.
36:38Which would look exactly like a break-in.
36:39I think when Terry got there, he took the plastic ice bag from the bar and simply threw it in the bin.
36:50But forgot to wipe away the water from the melted ice on the bar.
36:54Precisely.
36:56So, it wasn't Bobby?
36:58No, it was not.
37:00Oh, crikey.
37:05Thank you, Margot.
37:08Kelby, go pick him up.
37:11Oh, Tavistock Social Services.
37:15They've reported one of their care home residents, David Hilton, as missing.
37:20He wasn't in his room when his carer went in this morning.
37:23No mention of his sister, but his daughter and son-in-law are on their way now to pick him up.
37:31Oh, yes.
37:32So he'll be with his family for Christmas.
37:34Well done, everyone.
37:35Kelby called, they've got him, and Margot ran a cheque.
37:57Seems he was sacked from his last job for running up gambling debt on the company credit card.
38:01I see.
38:02So he was a gambler.
38:04Whose luck just ran out?
38:12Hello.
38:13I'm Humphrey.
38:14Well, this is Astor.
38:18He's your dad, is he?
38:19We've been going out of our minds all day.
38:22Yes, I'm sure.
38:23Where did you find him?
38:24Er, he found us.
38:26He was sitting on the doorstep when I came in this morning.
38:28Er, are we going to see Louise now?
38:30Oh, not yet, Dad.
38:33We need to get you home.
38:35Everyone's worried about you.
38:36He's been talking about his sister all day.
38:39I'm sorry.
38:40We'll get him home.
38:41I'm sure you've got more important things to do.
38:43Not at all.
38:44Can I just ask?
38:46He had a photograph of me in his pocket.
38:53You wouldn't happen to know why.
38:55You're Humphrey Goodman.
38:58Yes.
38:58Yes, I am.
39:00Dad, you sit with Keith for a minute, okay?
39:04I won't be long.
39:07Yeah.
39:08You're all right, Dad.
39:10You're all right.
39:14Dad and his sister Louise were adopted.
39:16They lost their parents when he was seven.
39:19They were supposed to go to the same family,
39:20but circumstances changed and they were split up.
39:23Come, ye faithful, joyful and shy of us.
39:33Oh, come ye, oh, come ye to Bethlehem.
39:45He tried to look for her over the years, but just hit one dead end after another.
39:59So he just sort of locked it away and got on with his life.
40:02He just became that unspoken thing.
40:05And then he started to get ill and he was diagnosed as having dementia.
40:12And as his memory started to deteriorate, he started talking about Louise again.
40:20It was as if of all the things he had in his life, she was the thing he was frightened about forgetting the most.
40:28So we decided to try again.
40:33We hit the same dead ends as before, but this time we found her.
40:38Dad was so excited.
40:40We traced her to Gloucester where she was adopted by a couple on Christmas Eve in 1968.
40:46They changed her name to theirs so she became Louise Briggs.
40:50But then she moved away and we lost all track of her.
40:54But then the people who bought her old house in Gloucester found an old bank statement dated from around the time she moved away.
41:01But it showed that she made a withdrawal from an ATM in Shipton Abbott.
41:05Sorry, I still don't see why David would have a photograph of me in his pocket.
41:11So we were at a loss as to what to do next.
41:14So we spoke to Dad about hiring a private detective in the new year.
41:18Someone from Devon who could help us find her.
41:21And Dad saw your picture in the paper and thought you looked like a decent chap.
41:25So he was going to call you and ask if you could help.
41:28He can't remember what he had for breakfast.
41:32But he can tell you what song was on the radio the day they took Louise away.
41:40It's like he's stuck in that moment.
41:44And the hurt is just as real now as it was then.
41:48OK everyone, let's run a check on the name Louise Briggs.
41:57Town halls, social services, PNC, any other databanks you can get into.
42:02Local HMRC, passport office, DVLA.
42:06Look into local clubs and organisations.
42:08She must be drawing a pension by now, see if that gives us anything.
42:11Sir.
42:12Should we be making these kinds of checks?
42:15Yes we should, Sergeant, for two very good reasons.
42:18Firstly, it's a missing persons investigation.
42:21Even though they're not missing anyone?
42:23Technically, yes.
42:24And the second?
42:25It's Christmas.
42:27Martha called.
42:29She said she's at the winery ordering stop.
42:31Can you pick her up from there?
42:33And don't be late.
42:34What time's it now?
42:35It's 4.35.
42:36You've got 25 minutes.
42:37OK.
42:38Quick as you can, everyone.
42:56Haylton.
42:57H-A-L-E-T-O-N.
42:59Although that's her original name, she went on to become Louise Briggs.
43:04Have we got anything else listed under the name Louise Briggs?
43:08No, that's all the information we have.
43:10Could we cross-reference her date of birth against anything else?
43:13All we know for sure is she left Gloucester around four years ago
43:16and, I think, came to ship the Nabbit, or at least somewhere in this area.
43:20Bye.
43:21OK, let me see if I can find that. I'll come back to you.
43:25They need a national insurance number.
43:28You'd better go.
43:29Five more minutes.
43:30OK, well, thanks for trying.
43:32Bye.
43:34Nothing.
43:35Say again?
43:37But her adopted name was definitely Louise Briggs.
43:42Is there an address on the records?
43:46If you would.
43:48You got my number.
43:49OK, thanks, Jess.
43:51There was Louise Briggs married in paint and registry office four years ago.
43:58She declared her former name as Hilton.
44:00So it's her.
44:01It has to be.
44:03Her married name is Branner, but they couldn't see an address for her.
44:06They're checking, but, you know, they can't guarantee it'll be the day.
44:10Branner.
44:11I've heard that somewhere.
44:13Yeah.
44:14Yes, we can see it.
44:15Oh, yes.
44:16You go.
44:17We'll do this.
44:18Oh, no, wait.
44:20Go, I don't do that.
44:21Yeah, fine.
44:22Right, let's go, Seb.
44:23Oh, no, I don't.
44:24Nooo.
44:25Right, let's go, Seb.
44:27Right, let's call set.
44:37Come on through.
44:39She should be around here somewhere.
44:43Hello, love.
44:44All right, Lou.
44:45Guys, this is my step-ma'am.
44:47Uh, Louise, this is Esther and Margot.
44:50Hi.
44:51Louise, we're from Shipton Abbott Police.
44:53It's nothing to worry about.
44:54Gonna let Margot take the lead on this one.
44:57Um, Louise, we believe you had an older brother.
45:01No.
45:02We're separating.
45:03Yeah.
45:04Well, we found it.
45:06Oh.
45:27I'm here.
45:28Oh.
45:29Hi.
45:30You're late.
45:31What's going on?
45:32We're getting married.
45:33What?
45:34Come on.
45:35He's here.
45:36Ah.
45:37Oh, good Lord.
45:38You mean we're really getting married?
45:39Just told you.
45:40Yes, but I thought it a metaphor.
45:41For?
45:42For something else.
45:43You just don't want to get married, don't you?
45:44Yes, of course I do.
45:45But, I mean, why the big secret?
45:46Because whenever we've planned it properly, it's always gone wrong.
45:47And so I just thought I'd sneak up on you.
45:48Yeah.
45:49Yeah.
45:50Yeah.
45:51Because after Rosie left, I wanted to get married.
45:52Oh.
45:53Oh, good Lord.
45:54You mean we're really getting married?
45:56Just told you.
45:57Yes, but I thought it a metaphor.
45:58For?
45:59For something else.
46:00You just don't want to get married, don't you?
46:03Yes, of course I do.
46:04But, I mean, why the big secret?
46:08Because whenever we've planned it properly, it's always gone wrong.
46:13And so I just thought I'd sneak up on you.
46:17And because after Rosie left, I wanted to show you that as hard as it was losing her,
46:23it was kind of all right because I still had you.
46:28And you're enough.
46:30Sorry.
46:35Shall we get married then?
46:37Yes, please.
46:42Ah, you'll need to change.
46:44And, er, I nearly forgot.
46:46Mm-hmm.
46:47I found you a best man, too.
46:50Ah!
46:51Crikey!
46:53Commissioner!
46:55Nice of you to join us, Inspector Goodman.
47:03He's here.
47:07Honey, do you want to take over?
47:08Dad?
47:09Look over there.
47:10It's Louise.
47:12David.
47:13Oh, dear.
47:14Okay,
47:19I'm here.
47:20I'm here.
47:21And you're...
47:22No, I'm here.
47:23No, I'm here.
47:25You're over.
47:26And you're over.
47:27No, I'm here.
47:29No, you're over.
47:30No.
47:31No.
47:32No, no.
47:33No.
47:34No, no.
47:35No.
47:36No.
47:37No.
47:38No.
47:39I can't believe you've come all this way just for me.
48:02I didn't.
48:04Oh.
48:06Well, I was in the UK anyway, visiting my daughter.
48:09This was a happy coincidence.
48:12Even so.
48:14Thank you, sir.
48:16Well, should I call you Selwyn?
48:18No.
48:20Of course.
48:21If I'm sure to laugh at all your jokes
48:25If I'm in you and you're feeling broke
48:30If I promise this is what I'll do
48:36Will you love me like I do you
48:42If I hold you when the world is great
48:47If you want to try to leave me
48:51Wait!
48:53What are you doing?
48:55Just in time
48:56What?
48:58Okay, breathe
48:59So, we're here today
49:08To witness the marriage of Humphrey and Martha
49:11Who are not so much starting a new life together
49:14But confirming their commitment to each other
49:17Do you remember our house?
49:22My bedroom was next to your bedroom
49:24That's right
49:27To cherish and respect each other
49:31Throughout our lives together
49:32Humphrey
49:36Humphrey
49:37I give you this ring
49:40I give you this ring
49:40.
49:40Oh, yes.
49:44Why is it?
49:48Susan, talk amongst yourself
49:49Sorry?
49:50Phew, I'm sorry.
49:55I give you this ring as a symbol of our love, trust and marriage.
50:00I give you this ring as a symbol of our love, trust and marriage.
50:09I promise to care for you above all others and to give you my love, friendship and support.
50:16I promise to care for you above all others and to give you my love, friendship and support.
50:28Other finger.
50:30Other finger.
50:32No, the ring, the other finger.
50:34Oh, sorry, golly.
50:39Other finger.
50:42Yeah.
50:43And to respect and cherish you throughout our lives together.
50:46And to respect and cherish you throughout our lives together.
50:53And now, a short reading from the best man, Selwyn.
50:57Who is to say what love is?
51:06From the fluttering heart that sees a face long missed to the tearful, breathless wrench of a love only ever found in the moment.
51:22Or a love that speaks of blood shared.
51:29Of a bond that can't be broken.
51:35Of a light that can never be dimmed by adversity.
51:41Who is to say what love is?
51:48Because love seeks no favor.
51:53Nor does it seek permission.
51:58It seeks no title, no praise or reward.
52:03Love simply is.
52:08Love never blames.
52:11Always forgives.
52:13And cannot be diminished by distance.
52:17Or weakened by time.
52:21Love is what is left when everything else deserts you.
52:31Who is to say what love is?
52:36Only you.
52:38Because only you know.
52:42At 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.
53:10Ah, congratulations.
53:12Archie.
53:14This is perfect.
53:15Worth all the skullduggery?
53:17Definitely.
53:18All those clandestine meetings was a bit like being back in the old days.
53:21Stop.
53:22I'm a married woman.
53:23And I couldn't be happier for you.
53:30It's such a shame he can't find someone.
53:33I mean, he's handsome, rich, generous to a fault, even makes his own wine.
53:40I mean, there should be a queue around the building.
53:43Though I have to admit that your clumsy, annoying, socially awkward, yet quite delightful beanpole for a new husband is quite a catch, too.
53:56Yes, he is.
54:01Oh, Inspector, we were just, um, comparing notes.
54:04That's mildly terrifying.
54:05It seems you've brought all your annoying traits with you from the Caribbean, but also your brilliance.
54:10Ah.
54:12Congratulations.
54:13Thank you, Mum.
54:16Commissioner?
54:17It was my pleasure.
54:21Thank you for being here.
54:22And your reading was quite beautiful.
54:25I'm not entirely sure how you managed to convince her to marry you.
54:34You're a very lucky man.
54:36Yes, I am.
54:37Excuse me.
54:38Of course.
54:39Inspector Wilson.
54:40Oh.
54:41David and her sister.
54:42How'd it go?
54:43Uh, we found her.
54:44She agreed to meet him.
54:45They're together now.
54:46It was amazing.
54:47So, she was related to Seb the Snowman?
54:48Yeah, she was his step-mom.
54:49Congratulations, everyone.
54:50Well done.
54:51You're amazing.
54:52Yeah, we are.
54:53I think we should reward ourselves with another drink.
54:54Oh, yes.
54:55Good idea.
54:56Come on.
54:57So?
54:58Everything okay, sir?
54:59Hmm.
55:00That was the new inspector.
55:01He's working on a case in St. Marie.
55:02But there seems to be links to the UK which you would like me to look into while I'm here.
55:06Sorry, Selwyn.
55:07Can I steal my husband?
55:08Be my guest.
55:09Thank you, sir.
55:15All right.
55:16Okay.
55:17We have a look at the case.
55:18Any excuse?
55:19Excuse me?
55:20Yes, I don't know.
55:21You can have a look at the case.
55:22It's okay, sir.
55:23Everything okay, sir?
55:24Mm-hmm.
55:25That was the new inspector.
55:26He's working on a case in St. Marie.
55:27But there seems to be links to the UK which you would like me to look into while I'm here.
55:28Oh.
55:29Good idea.
55:30Sorry, Selwyn.
55:31Can I steal my husband?
55:32Be my guest.
55:33Thank you, sir.
55:36All right.
55:37Okay.
55:38Any excuse?
55:39Excuse me?
55:40Excuse.
55:41Excuse me?
55:42Yeah.
55:43Just stand next to me.
55:45What did you do, pour it into a pot plant?
55:47You wish.
55:48Oh, really?
55:49Yeah.
55:50One, two, two, one, two.
55:52Yep, that's great.
55:53Maybe I do.
55:55Good evening, ladies and gentlemen.
55:57We are bellowheads!
55:59Can't keep running away.
56:01Mum!
56:02Come on!
56:03The band's starting!
56:05Well, we finally did it.
56:14Sorry, that was...
56:16Yes, we did.
56:18Happy?
56:19Very.
56:20Actually, it doesn't matter if you are or not.
56:22There's no escape now.
56:24You're stuck with me.
56:25It's the only present I've ever wanted to be.
56:28Merry Christmas, Mrs. Goodman.
56:30Merry Christmas, Mr. Goodman.
56:32Merry Christmas, Mrs. Goodman.
56:37Oi!
56:38Happy.
56:39Come on, sir.
56:40Stance!
56:41I took a check.
56:42Oh!
56:43Oh, oh!
56:45And you're my secret!
56:46Oh my god!
56:47See your government?
56:48I've never found her leg, my lads,
56:50and a big ship sailed away,
56:52and I said I'd reach you to her ten thousand miles away.
56:59Now I'll say you're not!
57:01I say, oh, it's high, oh, a road your mind will go, I'll stay no more, I'll make a show, well done, the music playing for now, I'm on a train, I won't be back again, I'm shaking a chip on me, I've been chipped a thousand miles away.
57:31Congratulations Mr. and Mrs. Goodman.
58:01I say, oh, it's high, oh, it's high, oh, a road your mind will go, I'll stay no more, I'll make a show, well done, the music playing for now, I'm on a train, I won't be back again, I'm shaking a chip on me, I've been chipped a thousand miles away.
