00:06You've made some sort of machine for the store, Murdoch.
00:09Yes, sir. It's an automated gift wrapping machine.
00:12It can wrap gifts of any size, within reason.
00:15It's not like you to make something so frivolous.
00:18It's an intricate mechanical device, sir.
00:21While you were setting up, did you happen to see the Empress Josephine tiara?
00:24Uh, no, I did not.
00:26The owner of Kellner Toys is displaying it here today.
00:29Then she's putting it up for auction and giving the money to the Children's Hospital.
00:33And making a big hullabaloo about it.
00:35Oh, tell me about it.
00:37The Lady's Auxiliary is putting on a ballet with Anna Pavlova herself for the Children's Hospital Fund.
00:42And even though I am doing most of the work, you don't hear me crowing about it.
00:47You've told half the bloody town about it.
00:49Thomas!
00:51Sir, this is it. Toys go in and wrapped gifts come out.
00:56Oh, crikey. Wonders will never cease.
00:59Violet.
01:01Oh, Llewellyn, I must say I'm surprised to see you here.
01:05Oh, don't worry. I won't rail against gaudy materialism.
01:08Good.
01:09Even if it is a horn.
01:10I am trying to embrace Christmas more.
01:12I bought myself something extravagant.
01:14What is it?
01:16Well, I'm making myself wait until Christmas morning to find out.
01:19Attention! Attention! Attention, everyone.
01:23Welcome to the unveiling of the Fears Department Store Christmas Displays.
01:28This is Kellner.
01:29Kellner Toy Factory wishes everyone a very Merry Christmas.
01:32Now, I'm sure we're all anxious to see the wonderful toys and gifts Fears has to offer.
01:36And the Empress Josephine tiara donated by yours truly.
01:41Let's see the tiara, shall we?
01:46Oh, my goodness.
01:47My tiara. It's gone.
01:50I wonder what happened to it.
01:52Someone must have taken it.
01:53Thank you for your insight, Margaret.
01:55Looks like someone didn't want to wait for Santa Claus.
01:58Indeed.
02:00Indeed.
02:17My heart is broken.
02:18I was prepared to say goodbye to the tiara for charity, but yes.
02:23We'll do our best to find it.
02:24And throw the thief in jail, I hope.
02:26Where was the tiara last seen?
02:28At the store in the strong box.
02:29It was brought here from the toy factory an hour ago and given to Mr. Fears.
02:34And before you ask, I was never alone with it.
02:36Mr. Maturin, my head stock clerk, was with me the entire time.
02:39And when was it placed in this glass display case?
02:42That's just the thing.
02:43I didn't personally do that.
02:45Who did?
02:46Mr. Maturin took the box to the decorator while I went out into the store.
02:50Apparently, when they opened the box, it was empty, but nobody told me.
02:55Right.
02:55We'll need to see this strong box and where it was kept.
02:59Of course.
03:00Follow me, detectives.
03:01Oh, there they go.
03:02Good lord.
03:03What on earth are those?
03:05They look like spriggans.
03:06What's that?
03:07A spriggan was a legendary monster from Cornwall.
03:10My granny used to tell me stories about them when I was a kid.
03:13Scared the bejesus out of me.
03:14Oh, they're grotesque.
03:15They're going to give me nightmares.
03:17What's the idea?
03:18Oh.
03:21Aren't they just the cutest?
03:23They're called Rin-kin-kins.
03:25And I will have you know they are the toy this Christmas.
03:28All the best children are getting one.
03:30Who says?
03:31Says everyone.
03:32Which means our Jordan must get one.
03:34Must, must, must.
03:35Well, then I shall pick one up, love dove.
03:37Oh, and if you were thinking of getting me this for Christmas, you're out of luck.
03:42A diamond tiara?
03:43Penny, I'm joking.
03:45You don't have to get me anything.
03:47If you say so, dear.
03:48Still, it's such a shame.
03:50Stolen right out of the display at Fears.
03:53Well, detectives Murdoch and Wants are looking into that.
03:55Hmm.
03:57Well, if they find it, perhaps you can have it come missing again.
04:01Hmm?
04:02Must dash.
04:04Oh, Constable, no, no, no.
04:06You must spread the tinsel evenly.
04:11Good to have you back in the station house, Chief Constable.
04:13Can't have the inmates from the asylum, can we?
04:16Anyway, it's only while Inspector Choi is on leave.
04:19So, any luck finding the tiara?
04:21No.
04:21And what's curious is that everyone claims no one was alone with it.
04:25We've done a thorough search of all of the back rooms and lockers at Fears' department store, and not a
04:31trace.
04:32So, is it possible that someone snuck in the back doors, waited for their chance, and then stole the tiara?
04:37Well, at this time of year, reindeer can fly.
04:41I mean, anything is possible.
04:43In this world, only pigs fly.
04:45So, any finger marks on the case?
04:47None that shouldn't be there.
04:49Mrs. Kellner more than likely told anyone and everybody that tiara was moving to Fears.
04:54Maybe we ought to widen the search.
04:56We do intend to speak with her next.
04:58Is this related to the case?
05:00No, no.
05:01And if you don't mind, it's a gift I'm making for Susanna.
05:07It's a music box.
05:12Tchaikovsky.
05:13Wonderful.
05:14If I can get it finished, it just might make it to London in time for Christmas.
05:20So, I presume Julia and Susanna are still across the pond?
05:24Well, yes.
05:25Julia's work is keeping her there for the holidays.
05:28And, uh, Harry has a school trip to Quebec.
05:34Well, I'm sure you'll see them soon.
05:35With me, detective?
05:39A little more to the left.
05:41Good.
05:43There's another box of decorations behind the stage.
05:45Oh, I'm not here to decorate.
05:46I'm a singer.
05:47I was hoping to perform at your Christmas party.
05:49Oh.
05:49Well, I already have a singer.
05:51You can come back after Christmas and you can audition.
05:53But I love Christmas music.
05:54Please give me a chance.
05:56I'm very busy, Mr...
05:58Paige.
05:59Stephen Paige.
06:01Good day, Mr. Paige.
06:11Oi!
06:12What are you doing?
06:14This is quite something, sir.
06:16Where did you get it?
06:18I made it myself.
06:19Well, the missus baked it, but I did all the fancy bits.
06:22Miss Hart is having a competition at the Starbucks Christmas stew.
06:26It's very impressive.
06:28Five dollars for the winner.
06:29You should enter.
06:30I've never baked a thing in my life, but my mother makes an excellent gingerbread.
06:35Every Christmas.
06:37I know what you're going to ask me.
06:39And the answer, Roberts, is still the same.
06:42But she'll be all alone.
06:44Go and see her two or three days after Christmas.
06:46First chance you get.
06:47Go on.
06:48Yes, sir.
06:49We all have to work Christmas.
06:51It's part of the job.
06:52We want it to be a copper.
06:57Mr. Knight is my manager.
06:59He brought the tiara from the safe in my office to the store.
07:02I blame myself.
07:04I should have stayed with the tiara the whole time.
07:06I had a bad feeling that something would happen to it.
07:09Mr. Fear claims to have been with the tiara right up until minutes before it was stolen.
07:14Yes, um, Mrs. Kilmer, you really should tell the detectives what you told me.
07:21What's that?
07:22When Mr. Fear told you that he and Mr. Maturin were with the tiara, it wasn't exactly the truth.
07:29Mr. Maturin went by himself with the tiara to the back of the store.
07:35Why did Mr. Fear lie?
07:36To protect my reputation.
07:38You see, Mr. Fear and I wanted to share some moments alone.
07:46So Mr. Maturin lied, either to keep his job or to keep an alibi.
07:52Mm-hmm.
08:35I hear you two were fighting over a ringkinkin.
08:38Where is it?
08:39This is all that is left.
08:41It was in my hands and he took it.
08:43I had it first.
08:44You did not, scoundrel.
08:46Where did you find one?
08:47The toy store on Queen Street.
08:49All right.
08:50But they are all gone.
08:51This was the last one.
08:54And he destroyed it.
08:55Well, we'll see if that's true.
08:58Hey, where are you going?
08:59Are you going to let us out?
09:00We have to get to the symphony.
09:02I'm sure you both do.
09:06Hey, what will they do without a conductor?
09:09You should have thought about that before you took my ringkinkin.
09:15Oh, oh, oh, oh.
09:18Toronto amuses me.
09:19Here, there are men who appreciate Pavlova.
09:22Oh, we all do.
09:23I saw your performance of the Dying Swan last week and I must tell you, I was moved.
09:29I'm not surprised.
09:29It deeply moved me.
09:33And wait till everybody sees your snowflake ballet.
09:37I'm sure it'll be divine.
09:39Snowflakes?
09:40Yes.
09:41You told me about it last week.
09:43It's set to Tchaikovsky's Nutcracker Suite.
09:46Oh, I've booked the hall.
09:48The tickets are being printed.
09:50But I'm resting.
09:51No dancing for the next two weeks.
09:53But you said you'd do a charity performance.
09:57It's for a children's hospital.
09:59When did I say this?
10:01Last week after your performance, Ruth.
10:03Oh, we were with the ladies' auxiliary?
10:05For charity?
10:06Yes.
10:07Pavlova must have drank too many Kia Royals.
10:10Oh, must admit I've done the same thing myself once or twice.
10:13But you must.
10:14It's for the children's hospital.
10:16They'll close if they don't get enough...
10:18For children?
10:19Why should children get the money?
10:21I never received anything.
10:24It's Christmas.
10:26Every Christmas, I ask Died Moroz for a doll with pink ribbons.
10:30Nichevo.
10:32I never received.
10:33Oh, that's terrible.
10:35That made me strong.
10:37Please, you leave now?
10:39Oh, um, my daughter Jordan just wanted an autograph.
10:44Go.
10:45Yes, no.
10:46Ruth, Jordan.
10:48Yes.
10:54Well, really.
10:56Why is that lady sad?
10:58I don't know, darling.
10:59She has enough diamonds to buy a small country.
11:01I think she's sad because Santa Claus never visited her house.
11:06Hmm.
11:09Mr. Fierce said it would be better for everyone if we both said we were with the tiara.
11:15This doesn't look good, Mr. Maturin.
11:16You had much more time alone with the tiara than we knew.
11:20Ample time to hide it somewhere.
11:22We couldn't find it.
11:23What would I do with something like that?
11:25Sell it.
11:26Where?
11:27To who?
11:28I don't know anything about that tiara.
11:30I didn't even open the box.
11:32Did you spend any time at all, whatsoever, away from the box, Mr. Maturin?
11:37I left the box on my desk in the warehouse while I went to the gents.
11:41Oh?
11:43To think of it, I did see Mr. St. Clair around the warehouse.
11:47Mr. St. Clair?
11:48Uh, Richmond St. Clair, the decorator.
11:51He told me last week he was very excited to see the tiara.
11:55Of course I was excited.
11:57Who wouldn't be?
11:58The large diamonds were given to Josephine by Alexander I when he and Napoleon were friends.
12:04Obviously, before Napoleon invaded Russia.
12:07Fascinating.
12:08Perhaps, as a history buff, you wanted to keep it for yourself?
12:12Me.
12:13Steal the tiara.
12:14Never.
12:14And how would I do that?
12:16I never even got to see it.
12:18So you say?
12:19Search my home.
12:20My motor wagon.
12:21My person.
12:22I assure you, I don't have it.
12:26You were seen at the Fears warehouse during a time when the tiara was left unattended.
12:32I went into the warehouse to fetch the last of the toys that I was using for the displays.
12:36I never in a...
12:38Detective!
12:39You need to see this.
12:41Have you found the tiara?
12:43Uh, not exactly.
12:45No.
12:57I was hoping for a quiet Christmas.
13:00And so was he, I'd imagine.
13:01Have you identified him?
13:03Not yet.
13:03Hmm.
13:04How long has he been dead?
13:05Well, sir, rigor mortis has retreated from the upper body.
13:08But as you can see, it's still present in the legs.
13:11I'd say this man was killed 36 hours ago.
13:14I believe he was stabbed in the neck.
13:15Have you located the weapon?
13:16No.
13:17Uh, wound suggests a weapon that was smooth and circular.
13:21There's no blood on the floor of the wagon.
13:23He must have been killed elsewhere.
13:25Do you think there's any connection between this tiara theft and this murder?
13:28That's an awfully big coincidence.
13:30Sir, I don't believe Mr. St. Clair is a murderer.
13:33And why would he be driving a corpse around for a day and a half?
13:37Someone could have put the body there.
13:39Well, gentlemen.
13:44Mr. St. Clair?
13:46Mr. St. Clair?
13:50Did you know the dead man?
13:52No.
13:52I've never seen him before.
13:54We need to know precisely where this wagon has been in the past 36 hours.
13:59Oh, I can't think straight.
14:01Other than fears, I went to the florist down on Sumac Street and the diner down by the train station.
14:07That's it.
14:27Oh, boy.
14:29It was an accident.
14:30The chief constable is not going to like this.
14:32Of course he won't.
14:34What are we going to do?
14:35We.
14:37I have enough problems, Debbie.
14:38This one...
14:40This one is yours.
14:43Henry.
14:43Henry.
14:49Uh...
14:56Well, it's always nice to give a little hope to a family in need.
15:00Merry Christmas.
15:02You know, no matter how many baubles the dad bought me, the only thing I really ever asked
15:06from Santa was a pair of ballet slippers.
15:09You were a ballet dancer?
15:10Oh, yes.
15:11I'm passionate about the dance.
15:12No, I dreamed of being a prima ballerina.
15:14You?
15:15Really?
15:15Yes.
15:16No, my instructor said I had a very unique style.
15:18I don't know what we're going to do now that Anna Pavlova has said she won't dance.
15:22I know what you're going to ask me.
15:25I simply couldn't.
15:27Oh, no, I suppose not.
15:28Uh, but, well, maybe we can find...
15:29No, it's been years since I've danced.
15:31You know, little Emery is quite...
15:33I'm not even sure if I remember any of this stuff.
15:34It's all right.
15:35I'm sure we can find a...
15:36It is for children's charity.
15:38It's all right, Ruth.
15:40I will need a costume and some rehearsal.
15:44It's fine.
15:46I'll do it.
15:54Roberts, have you seen my gingerbread house?
15:57Yes, sir.
15:57Then where the bloody hell has it gone?
15:59Well, I see...
16:00Anyone of this lot has had as much as a nibble?
16:03I will have their guts for garters.
16:06I was headed in the direction of the starboard earlier,
16:09and I thought I'd take it there for you.
16:11Let me tell you something, Roberts.
16:13Now that is what I call initiative,
16:15and I like that.
16:17Keep up the good work, son.
16:19You'll go far.
16:22Thank you, sir.
16:24Henry.
16:27I just lied to the chief constable.
16:31About what?
16:31The gingerbread house.
16:33What should I do?
16:35Make another?
16:36How am I supposed to do that?
16:37I don't even have an oven.
16:39Ask someone you know who does.
16:41Nothing.
16:42I think Ruth keeps her shoes in ours.
16:48We talked to all the staff who were nearby
16:50when Mr. St. Clair's wagon was outside Fierce.
16:52No one saw anyone but Mr. St. Clair near it,
16:55and no one saw a dead body.
16:57All right.
16:58Thank you, Henry.
16:58Sir, what is this?
17:03It's a Nutcracker music box I'm sending to Susanna.
17:08I've made it myself.
17:11What you need to send her is a rink and kin.
17:13A what?
17:14Oh, it's the toy this Christmas, sir.
17:16That's what Ruth tells me.
17:18I'll be sending her this.
17:20This isn't pioneer time, sir.
17:22Children these days, they want the most popular toy in the store.
17:25That's all they can't meet.
17:45What have you discovered, Detective?
17:47Well, grisly turkey and thin, lumpy gravy.
17:51Still, you came with a helping of excellent plum pudding.
17:54I mean about Mr. St. Clair.
17:57Right.
17:58The florist noticed nothing unusual about Mr. St. Clair or his wagon,
18:02and no one here saw anything suspicious either.
18:05Still, this is the last place that Mr. St. Clair was.
18:10So how did a dead man get into the back of his wagon?
18:13You know what I noticed?
18:15Hmm.
18:16This diner is only a block and a half from the back of Kilner's toy factory.
18:20You think the murder occurred there?
18:23There's one way to find out.
18:25Right, right.
18:32Hello, Detective.
18:33Have you any news on the whereabouts of Mrs. Kilner's tiara?
18:36No, but we did find a dead man in a wagon belonging to the fear's decorator.
18:42How gruesome.
18:43The deceased's tour is approximately 55 years of age.
18:46Close-cropped hair, center part, green eyes, and stood about 5 foot 8 inches tall.
18:52That ring any bells?
18:54My God, that sounds like Mr. Cantrell.
18:57He was our night watchman.
18:58He didn't show up for work last night.
19:00Did you check on him?
19:02Well, he doesn't have a telephone.
19:03I figured he was out boozing.
19:05He had a habit.
19:07Does he have a wife?
19:08He had one before the habit took hold.
19:11Can you think of anything suspicious happening the night before the tiara was stolen?
19:16Anything Mr. Cantrell might have witnessed that got him killed?
19:18No.
19:19No, nothing at all.
19:20Oh, I am sorry, but I have to get back to work.
19:24Mrs. Kilner will have my head.
19:27Please, call us the second you know anything about the tiara.
19:30Oh, and poor Mr. Cantrell, of course.
19:32Of course.
19:35Well, at least the victim has a name.
19:38And we know Mr. Cantrell was killed during a shift.
19:41Like we're near here.
19:42We're in the killer head, Mr. Cantrell's body, and Mr. St. Clair's wagon.
19:48What's?
19:52Uh, looks like blood.
19:55Think we'll be lucky enough to find a murder weapon around here, complete with the killer's finger marks?
20:00Well, there are broken pieces of ice all around it.
20:03The wound on Mr. Cantrell was smooth and round, correct?
20:07Yes.
20:08Consider the shape of those icicles.
20:11The diameter and the shape of the wound could be a match.
20:21Killed with an icicle.
20:23So much for finger marks.
20:27Merry Christmas.
20:28You're in a good mood this morning.
20:30Went to see Ms. Hart at the Starbite last night.
20:32Kindly offered to help me with my predicament.
20:34You mean the lie that you told the Chief Constable?
20:36Well, honesty is the best policy, Teddy.
20:39That's what I always say.
20:41We've only been friends for a short while, Henry, but I don't think that's what you always say.
20:45Merry Christmas.
20:46Merry Christmas is going to be miserable if I don't find one of those awful ringkinkin dolls.
20:53Pardon me, Fred?
20:59Didn't hear you say you're looking for one of those ringkinkins.
21:01Yes.
21:02Today's your lucky day.
21:03I've got an extra.
21:04I'll sell you one for $10.
21:07You've got a deal.
21:08Are you sure?
21:09This might not be on the up and up.
21:10Relax, Teddy.
21:11This is just one father helping out another.
21:18And where is the choreographer?
21:20The costume designer, dresser, the maestro?
21:24This is for the Children's Hospital charity.
21:26It's not the Royal Command performance.
21:28And are we just supposed to run around on stage?
21:30Well, no, no, I was thinking that we could perform the story of the Nutcracker like they do in Russia.
21:36I have the music.
21:43This young lady will play Marie, Thomas, you'll be Drosselmeyer, and Ruth, you will play the Sugar Plum Fairy.
21:52Oh.
21:53Drosselmeyer.
21:54What's a Drosselmeyer?
21:54Oh, he's one of the dancers.
21:56Oh, I don't know about that, Margaret.
21:58I don't know.
21:58You know, I've trod the boards before, obviously, of course, but dancing, well, I don't know.
22:03But you promised.
22:04And you'd make a wonderful Drosselmeyer.
22:06He's all mysterious and commanding.
22:09Oh, well, I suppose that's not much of a stretch.
22:10And the little ones who play the Snowflakes, Ruth, Ruth, Ruth, Ruth, stop that.
22:16Snowflakes, please, take your positions.
22:18Right there.
22:19And stop.
22:20No, I was thinking then for the Sugar Plum Fairy, we would do something, something like...
22:26Oh.
22:36Thomas.
22:38Thomas.
22:39Thomas!
22:40What we need is more people on stage.
22:43We need constables.
22:45They have jobs, Margaret.
22:46It's for charities.
22:47And you're the chief constable.
22:49You can make them.
22:50We'll talk to them after we finish the blocking.
22:52That's a theatrical term.
22:54I know what blocking is, Margaret.
22:59I can't believe I have to dance around in a mouse costume.
23:02I think it might be fun.
23:04Maybe I'll tell Mrs. Bragnerine I'm coming down with the flu.
23:07What happened to honesty being the best policy?
23:11I found it.
23:11What are those kids up to?
23:12It's mine.
23:13It's mine.
23:14Hey.
23:15All right.
23:16Break it up.
23:17No, I found it.
23:17No, it's mine.
23:17Enough!
23:18What are you two fighting about?
23:20I found it first.
23:20It's mine.
23:21You found what?
23:26Stole a tiara.
23:40What are you doing in the defective's office, Candy King?
23:43Oh, nothing.
23:43Oh, all right.
23:44Oh, not so fast.
23:45Did you get it?
23:47Get what?
23:48Henry Higgins Newsome, really.
23:49I asked you to do one thing.
23:50Ta-da!
23:51Oh, Henry.
23:53Oh, you wonderful, wonderful man.
23:55You've got it.
23:56Oh, hi.
23:57Maybe when we get home, you can get some sugar plums yourself.
24:04Oh, no, no, no, no.
24:06No, no, this won't do.
24:07There's a mark on its foot.
24:08No, Henry, you have to take this back.
24:10Dearest, it's the last one in Toronto.
24:13So no sugar plums?
24:16You making yourselves at home?
24:18Oh, Detective, yes, I was just admiring your musical doodads.
24:21Sir, we found the stolen tiara.
24:25Excellent work, Constable.
24:26Is that the Empress Josephine tiara?
24:29Could I see that for a second, pretty, please?
24:31Oh, no.
24:34No, no, no.
24:35What's wrong?
24:36Do you not know of the briolette diamonds?
24:39The ones that Alexander I famously gave to Josephine?
24:42I've heard of them.
24:44See?
24:45The diamonds are missing.
24:47Oh, poor Josephine must be rolling over in her grave.
24:50Ooh.
25:00It was found by some children in a trash bin at Renfrew and King.
25:04In a pile of refuse.
25:06Will the indignities ever cease?
25:09I'm surprised the thief took only the large diamonds and threw the tiara away.
25:12Well, only the large diamonds were valuable.
25:15The remaining jewels are only chips.
25:17And have you found the thief?
25:20No, I'm afraid not.
25:21And Mr. Cantrell's murderer is still on the loose.
25:24That is, if you're sure it wasn't that Mr. Sinclair.
25:27Who is Mr. Cantrell?
25:29He was the night watchman at your factory.
25:31Oh, I must have told you.
25:33He was murdered.
25:34You did?
25:35Mm.
25:35Well, how was he killed?
25:37Icicle.
25:38When?
25:39The night before the tiara was stolen.
25:42We believe the theft and the murder are connected.
25:47Gentlemen, this is upsetting, Mrs. Kellner.
25:51I really should drive her home, if that will be all.
25:54Yes, for now.
25:57Thank you both.
25:58Well, thank you.
26:00No matter how much icing we put on this, it still looks...
26:04Worse than an old doghouse?
26:07I'm sorry, Constable Roberts.
26:09I thought this would be easy.
26:12I appreciate you trying to help, Miss Hart.
26:15Are you going to tell the chief constable the truth?
26:17And lose my job?
26:19I'm sure he wouldn't fire you over this.
26:21Not at Christmas.
26:23Maybe not, but I won't get another holiday for the next five years.
26:26Sir, we're closed.
26:27Do you remember me, ma'am?
26:29Mr. Page, I came by earlier to offer to sing for your Christmas party.
26:32Indeed.
26:33And I told you we already have a singer.
26:34Ah, but wait till you hear my new Christmas song.
26:37You'll love it.
26:42Not now.
26:43Please come back after Christmas.
26:45What good is a Christmas song after Christmas?
26:47Change the words.
26:49Please, I am very busy.
26:52All right.
26:54Thank you, ma'am.
26:57Do you think he's any good?
26:59He certainly is persistent.
27:02I know I shouldn't ask this, but do you happen to know what Santa's getting me for Christmas?
27:06You said you didn't want anything.
27:08Well, yes, but that was clearly a shame.
27:10Of course I want a present for Christmas.
27:11Who doesn't want presents at Christmas?
27:13Oh, now, darling, are you sure about this?
27:16You know, your Uncle Rupi gave you that.
27:18Well, I don't like him.
27:20That's fair.
27:21No one really does.
27:22Run along.
27:29I know.
27:36Bye-bye.
27:38Bye-bye.
27:43Bye-bye.
27:46Bye-bye.
27:55Mr. Mature, Mr. Mature, if you're here on behalf of the detectives, I've told them
28:00everything I know about the fact.
28:01Oh, no, no, no, I'm not here for that.
28:02I need to buy a ring King Kent.
28:03The one I already have is defective.
28:05Well, I can't help you there.
28:06We are completely sold out.
28:07Sir, are you sure?
28:09Positive.
28:09They flew off the shelves.
28:11Perhaps there is one left in the back room?
28:13Our shipment was already short.
28:16How do you mean?
28:18Someone had broken into the crate already.
28:20I asked the Kellner delivery man about it, but he told me to stop asking questions.
28:26If that's so.
28:27He said if I asked anyone else about it, he'd kill me.
28:33Ho, ho, ho, Mr. Knight.
28:35Oh, yes.
28:36Mrs. Kellner thought it would be festive if all of her employees dressed up as elves.
28:43We've learned that some boxes in a shipment from this factory to Fear's department store
28:48have gone missing.
28:50Oh, well, occasionally theft of merchandise does occur, but what does that have to do with
28:56the diamonds or Mr. Cantrell's murder?
28:59Mr. Cantrell might have witnessed an employee stealing, and that employee then silenced him.
29:04Oh, we'd like to speak with your delivery man, Mr. Knight.
29:08Oh, of course.
29:09Oh, here he is now.
29:11Mr. Abbott, these detectives would like a word.
29:16Mr. Abbott.
29:20Toronto Constabulary, stop!
29:25Stop.
29:28You're coming down to the station house with us, Mr. Abbott.
29:32Merry Christmas.
29:40Mr. Abbott, the night watchman at the Kellner toy factory witnessed a theft.
29:45And the perpetrator of that theft wanted to silence him.
29:50Was that you?
29:51I didn't do anything.
29:52Then why did you run?
29:54I may have stolen a few of those ugly Rin-kin-kin dolls to sell on the street, but I
29:58didn't kill anyone.
30:00When the stock clerk at Fear's noticed some missing toys, you told him if he said anything, you'd kill him.
30:06Yes, let's just talk.
30:07I wouldn't hurt anyone over a few lousy toys.
30:10Are you certain?
30:11Because in my experience, losing one's job could be motive for murder.
30:15I was going to quit anyway.
30:17Mrs. Kellner doesn't even give out a Christmas bonus.
30:20Do you know anything about the theft of the Empress Josephine Tiara?
30:25What?
30:26Oh, sir.
30:28Sir, about that music box you made for Suzanne.
30:30The one you said I shouldn't send to her?
30:32Yes, that one.
30:33Do you think you could possibly make another for Ruth?
30:36Oh, I don't think I would have these, sir.
30:39You would be doing me a very, very large favor.
30:42Oi!
30:43It's you.
30:44Henry, you know this man?
30:46I bought a Rin-kin-kin from him.
30:47You sold me a defective doll.
30:50Detective Murdoch.
30:51Ah, just a man, I'm, I, the Kellner Toy Company would like to thank you for apprehending this thief.
31:00Oh, Mr. Abbott.
31:01Let me guess, I'm fired.
31:04Excuse me, sir, are you from the Kellner Toy Factory?
31:07Yes, yes I am.
31:09Do you happen to have any Rin-kin-kins left?
31:11The one that I got for my little girl has a mark on its foot.
31:13Oh, well, no.
31:16We're sold out.
31:17Blast.
31:18Anyway, you must be on my way.
31:20I'm the Mouse King.
31:23In the Nutcracker performance.
31:25And thank you again, sir, for the music box.
31:27You're saving my Christmas.
31:29I, I didn't.
31:30Detective.
31:32Do you suspect Mr. Abbott of Mr. Cantrell's murder?
31:37Well, he's only under arrest for theft at the moment.
31:40I don't believe he's guilty of murder.
31:42And he claims he didn't know Mr. Cantrell.
31:44Oh, I see.
31:45Well, I, I, Detective, do you, do you have to know a man to kill him?
31:50I, I didn't, I didn't know.
31:52Well, um, good day, sir.
31:56Everyone, let's get ready for the rehearsal.
32:00Now, Jordan, I know I should wait until Christmas morning, but Santa brought this early just for you.
32:09It's a Rin-Kin-Kin.
32:11Don't you just love it?
32:15Oh, no, no, darling, you're supposed to, no, you're supposed to play with the Rin-Kin-Kin.
32:23Right.
32:24Oh.
32:25Well, Mummy has to practice, so just watch Mummy.
32:33Margaret, I'm not sure about this costume.
32:35Do I look all right?
32:37Uh, you make a very handsome Drosselmeyer.
32:41Should I bring the cape home?
32:43Yes.
32:44And the patch?
32:45No.
32:46Oh.
32:50I think Ruth might have overstated her abilities just a little bit.
32:56She's terrible.
32:58Miss Pavlova, you're here.
33:00Well, I think to myself, Pavlova, children deserve the best.
33:04They're generous, loving, and the future of the dance.
33:07And it's Christmas.
33:09What made you change your mind?
33:10Well, I received a gift from a sweet little girl.
33:13So now I give gift.
33:15Myself.
33:17Oh.
33:18Hannah Pavlova.
33:20Herself.
33:21And tonight, I will be Sugar Plum Fairy.
33:24You are not needed.
33:25Now go.
33:27Oh.
33:28You go backstage with me.
33:30There's so much to do.
33:31There's so much dancing.
33:33I love dancing.
33:38I'm so excited.
33:40Every ticket has been sold.
33:42I'm so excited.
33:45I have to hold you.
33:58I'm so excited.
34:00I love it.
34:10It's because you are.
34:11I don't know.
34:11I mean, sometimes I would be just for an ATP.
34:59Oh, isn't it wonderful?
35:02Now you can watch from the Winks with Jordan.
35:09Don't go anywhere, darling.
35:11My mummy will be right back.
36:22Get off the stage.
36:26Well, Pavlova, there's room for both of us.
36:54I've spoken to Mr. Abbott's wife.
36:56He was indeed at home all night.
36:58So we're no closer to finding the diamonds or the killer?
37:02Or even knowing if there are two criminals or one.
37:05Right.
37:06And I suppose we need to thoroughly search
37:09all of the employees at Fears and canvas the greater area.
37:13We could do that tomorrow.
37:17Dan's performance is well underway.
37:22I'm not sure I find ballets that interesting.
37:26Mm-hmm.
37:28Might be interesting to see Henry prance around
37:31as the Mouse King.
37:49I don't know what's the story.
37:52What's the matter with Jordan?
37:53When I was on stage, someone came and stole her Rin Kin Kin doll.
37:57Can you believe that?
37:58Who would do something like that?
38:00Mr. Cantrell might have witnessed an employee stealing,
38:03and that employee then silenced.
38:06I don't know anything about that tiara.
38:08I didn't even look in the box.
38:09Do you happen to have any Rin Kin Kins left?
38:11The one I got my little girl has a mark on its foot.
38:14D-detect it.
38:15Do you have to know a man to kill him?
38:18The diamond tiara never made it to Fears department store.
38:22The diamonds were taken out of the tiara
38:24while it was still at Kellner's toy factory the night before.
38:28That must have been what Mr. Cantrell saw
38:29when he was killed.
38:31The diamonds were then placed inside of a marked Rin Kin Kin doll.
38:35One Henry bought for Jordan.
38:37I know of one man who knew where that doll would be.
38:41Mr. Knight!
38:45Get the kids out of the hall.
38:46Get the kids out.
39:09Stop!
39:12All right, Detectors.
39:14I took a doll.
39:16That's right.
39:16It's hardly a hangable offense.
39:18I disagree. You were under arrest for theft and for the murder of Mr. Cantrell.
39:23That's ridiculous. You have no evidence.
39:26Well, allow me.
39:31You stole the diamonds and hid them in the doll.
39:35Well, I had to take something from Mrs. Kellner.
39:38I do everything for her in that factory.
39:40She didn't even give me a Christmas bonus.
39:42And what about Mr. Cantrell?
39:44Well, he refused to look the other way.
39:46He was going to tell Mrs. Kellner.
39:49I had to stop him.
39:50You're coming with us, Mr. Mike.
39:53Would you please keep it down?
39:55There will be performance in progress.
40:10Excellent technique, Mrs. Higgins-Newson.
40:15Well, you might as well get him up.
40:17Up, up, up.
40:21And we bow to the end of Act 1.
40:26And we prepare for Act 2.
40:28Act 2, Act 2, Act 2.
40:50What's your gingerbread house?
40:52Do you like it?
40:53I think it's better than my first one.
40:55You made another one?
40:56How did you know?
40:57What, that you broke it?
40:59You're not a very good liar, Roberts.
41:00Well, that's probably a good thing.
41:03You told me I'd try to make another one.
41:05It was terrible.
41:06I know you did.
41:07That was your form of punishment.
41:11I'm sorry for lying to you.
41:13It will never happen again.
41:14Thank you, Roberts.
41:15Oh, and by the way, some good news.
41:18Detective Watts was requested to work over Christmas,
41:21meaning you can go back home to Chatham.
41:24Thank you, sir.
41:25I hope you win.
41:26Go.
41:27Go.
41:27Have some fun.
41:28Yes, yes.
41:29Merry Christmas.
41:35Anything wrong, Violet?
41:36That was the singer that I had booked for tonight.
41:39She can't make it.
41:41It's been one week since I started singing lessons,
41:44but I suppose I could perform something Christmas-y.
41:49Mr. Page, tonight might be your lucky night.
41:54I get to perform?
41:56Just don't let me down.
41:59So, Lucy, you liked the music box then?
42:02Oh, I love it.
42:03I can't believe you had it made just for me in Russia.
42:06And it is so much nicer than the one Detective Murdoch made.
42:10Did you like my dancing?
42:12It was wonderful, both on and off the stage.
42:24Care to dance, Detective?
42:27Oh, I...
42:28Don't worry.
42:29I'll leave.
42:44Christmas, William.
42:46Merry Christmas, Thomas.
42:48Christmas in Toronto.
42:50It's like living inside a bad dream.
42:52Forgive my being graphic.
42:54But the noise, the crowds, the traffic
42:56Turned me almost psychopathic when I'm there.
43:01The pious platitudes, the smug superior attitude.
43:05The utter lack of gratitude in the air.
43:11Christmas in Toronto.
43:13I don't wanna get anywhere close to it.
43:15Christmas in Toronto.
43:17It just makes me wanna scream.
43:19Christmas in Toronto.
43:20But as I wander around, the memories flow.
43:28Of friends and family and the places that we used to go.
43:36The snow comes falling down and a choir begins to sing.
43:45And I've forgiven everything
44:00It's Christmas in Toronto
44:03Do you want to come over some evening
44:05Christmas in Toronto
44:07It's the way it's meant to be
