05:07Oh, my.
05:10All right?
05:11Yep.
05:12Late.
05:12As you noticed.
05:14Can I come round tonight and see the things?
05:17What things?
05:18What things?
05:21The little fucking people you got growing in jars.
05:23Shh!
05:25God's sake!
05:26They're not people.
05:27They're called homunculi.
05:29And I don't want anyone knowing about them, thank you very much.
05:36Good morning, shoppers.
05:38Michael Sleep is growing three homunculi at home in his shed.
05:44That's Michael Sleep.
05:45Three homunculi in jars in his shed.
06:06Michael, why are you...
06:08Shh!
06:10Michael, it's Roy.
06:11Give us a ring back when you get this message.
06:13Listen, mate, it wasn't me that came to visit you down at home.
06:16I don't know who it was, but it wasn't me.
06:18So, you need to find out who's saying they're me.
06:21Who's Roy?
06:21I've got to go.
06:23You only just got it.
06:24I've got to go to the nursing home.
06:27Well, don't bother coming back.
06:29Oh, cheers, Gordon.
06:30I really appreciate that.
07:04Brigham!
07:04Brigham!
07:25Here he is.
07:26Hello, son.
07:27All right, Dad.
07:28You out of breath?
07:30Yeah, the car's out of action.
07:32I had to cycle.
07:34Bloody hell.
07:35What have you got there?
07:36Is that a competition win?
07:38Remote-controlled cars.
07:39Six of them.
07:40Well, you know what they say.
07:41You can't have too many remote-controlled cars.
07:44But I'm running out of space here.
07:46Will you take them?
07:47Yeah.
07:47You can give them to a charity shop, or you might want to hold on to them yourself.
07:52Yeah, OK.
07:53Here, Dad.
07:54Hillary said that you had a visitor.
07:56Do you remember?
07:58Did she?
07:59Yes, Dad, have a think.
08:01Someone came to see you, to say hello.
08:04Can you remember who that might have been?
08:06When was that you say?
08:07It must have been the day before yesterday.
08:10Was it Roy?
08:11Was it Cleo's brother, Roy?
08:13Oh.
08:15So it was.
08:17Yeah.
08:17I didn't recognise him.
08:19Pretended I did, though.
08:20Fine bit of acting.
08:22Have I ever met Roy?
08:23Yes, yes.
08:24You will have done.
08:26Years ago.
08:26You say you didn't recognise him.
08:29No.
08:29Have you got any idea what he wanted?
08:31Er, can't say that I have.
08:33Er, he was wittering on about something, skirting round something or other.
08:39Only Connect was on, so I wasn't really paying attention.
08:43Anyway, how are the profits?
08:45Have you buried them yet?
08:47No, not yet.
08:48The manure was delivered this morning.
08:50There's a ton of the stuff.
08:51I don't think the neighbours are very happy.
08:53Sod them.
08:55Is everything OK?
08:59What'll be a second, Dad?
09:02All right.
09:07Hillary?
09:07Is he all right?
09:08You said my dad had a visitor.
09:11Yeah, Roy wasn't here.
09:12Now, do you remember what he looked like?
09:14Oh, erm...
09:15Here.
09:19Now, that's an old photograph, but did he look anything like that?
09:23Er...
09:23No.
09:24I wouldn't say that was him.
09:28Do you remember what he did look like?
09:31Er...
09:32Yeah, he was slight, fair hair, small round glasses.
09:38Are you sure?
09:40Yeah, he was wearing a flat cap.
09:42Is everything OK?
09:43Hey.
09:54Hi, hi.
09:55Hello.
09:57Sorry I'm late.
09:58Do you want anything?
09:59Just a coffee, please.
10:01A black coffee.
10:02No problem.
10:03Coming over.
10:04How are you?
10:05Yeah.
10:06I was just wondering if you, er, had a chance to pass on my number to Clea's partner.
10:12Heapish, isn't it?
10:14Because I haven't heard anything.
10:15Yeah, no, I haven't passed it on.
10:17Oh, OK.
10:18It's just that, erm, since we spoke, I've been thinking about that lock-up that Clea and I shared,
10:23and I remember that there was a couple of things that belonged to me that I'd really like to get
10:27back.
10:28Oh, OK.
10:30Thanks.
10:33It's Bea, isn't it?
10:34Yeah.
10:36Is it, though?
10:39What do you mean?
10:40Well, I know you didn't know my sister, so I'm wondering what else you're bullshitting about.
10:44And I'm also wondering who your friend is trying to be inconspicuous at the table behind me.
10:53Mm-hmm.
10:55My name's Bob.
10:56What the fuck's going on?
10:57Um, your sister, Clea, she was fencing stolen items for the man who owned the antiques market she traded at.
11:10And who are you, the police?
11:11We represent the people from whom the items were stolen.
11:17Well, I don't believe your name is Bob.
11:19And I don't believe your name is Bea.
11:21And I don't believe that either of you represent the people from whom items were stolen.
11:28But that's actually beside the point, isn't it?
11:31What do you want from me?
11:32We want to find something that we believe Clea was in possession of when she went missing.
11:42OK.
11:44Well, now we're getting somewhere.
11:46OK.
11:56Well, now we're going to live.
11:59Well, now we're looking for a possible spy.
12:05Let's go.
12:05All right.
12:05Go, go, go.
12:05Go, go, go.
12:05Go, go, go, go.
12:06Go, go, go.
12:06Go, go.
12:06Go, go, go.
12:08Go, go, go.
12:13Go, go.
12:24Give us your phone.
12:30What's in the bag?
12:31Nothing.
12:32Toys.
12:32What's in it?
12:33Toys, toys, cars.
12:35Take it.
12:36It's yours, it's yours.
12:41Presents?
12:43Maybe, yeah.
12:44Who for?
12:46I don't know.
12:47Children?
12:53What's your name?
12:58Are you?
13:09What are you doing around here?
13:11Just, er, you know, delivering presents.
13:18But, is it Christmas?
13:20No, not yet.
13:21I'm, er, I'm just, you know, I'm starting early because there's lots to do when the time comes.
13:26Where's your red suit?
13:28That's at home.
13:29I don't put that on until nearer the time in case I get spotted.
13:32You know, it wouldn't do, would it, for me to get recognised too early?
13:37I recognised you, didn't I?
13:38You did.
13:39I knew you were.
13:41Er, don't tell anyone, will you?
13:43I won't tell anyone.
13:47I, um, I, I don't usually do this.
13:51I know, mate, I know.
13:53I was just desperate.
13:56I wasn't going to hurt you.
13:57I would never...
13:58I know, I know, I know.
13:59It's alright.
14:00You see, I, I, I know who's been naughty or nice, and I know that you're not normally naughty.
14:05I'm not.
14:06I know.
14:08Usually a good lad, aren't you?
14:12Yeah, I'm...
14:14I just...
14:15Hey, hey, don't worry.
14:17Um, can I...
14:20Oh, yeah.
14:25Oh, that's for you.
14:28I'm sorry it's not wrapped.
14:31Could I, um...
14:33Would it be alright to get me phone back?
14:37Yeah, yeah.
14:39Sorry.
14:40Cheers.
14:41Um, you are...
14:44Rupert.
14:44Rupert!
14:45Rupert, little Rupert.
14:48Well, um, well, cheerio, then.
15:04Merry Christmas.
15:07Ho, ho, ho.
15:09A book.
15:15A bird book.
15:18What's it called?
15:19The Birds of America.
15:21Birds of America?
15:23Yes.
15:25Shall we look on the internet?
15:30Ah, I got it.
15:31It has been estimated that five out of the ten highest prices ever paid for a book, adjusted
15:38for inflation, for inflation, were for John James Ooder bonds, the Birds of America.
15:44The most recently discovered copy was sold at auction in 2019 for $6.6 million.
15:56So that's quite a lot, then, isn't it?
15:59Well, let's be honest with each other, don't pretend to me that you're a keen ornithologist.
16:05Now that I know what you're looking for, I'll find it, then, when I sell it, I'll give you
16:11some of the money.
16:14How much?
16:16Do you know what, Bob?
16:16That's a bloody good point.
16:19We should discuss that.
16:33All right?
16:36You didn't come back to work?
16:37No.
16:37Gordon gave me the rest of the day off.
16:40Are you sure?
16:41Yeah.
16:41He said don't bother coming back.
16:45Oh.
16:46I don't think he was trying to be helpful, mate.
16:48I think I got the wrong end of the stick.
16:50Well, he told me to tell you that you better come in tomorrow or you're fired.
16:54Righto.
16:56Shoveling shit?
16:59Mm-hmm.
17:00Do you need some help?
17:02Yeah.
17:03Go on, then.
17:10Hello, are you OK?
17:12I'm Casey.
17:29Michael, what are we doing?
17:32Have to bury the jars.
17:35In shit?
17:36Yes.
17:37Why?
17:37Because that's what it says in the instructions.
17:40It's to grow them onto the state of divination.
17:43To keep them warm?
17:45Partly.
17:46Can't we just put them in the airing cupboard?
17:48Airing cupboard?
17:49What century are you from?
17:51Yeah, says the alchemist.
18:12Good evening, your majesties.
18:16God, they've grown since last time.
18:19What's this one?
18:21That's a seraph.
18:22It's a type of angel.
18:24The highest rank of angel.
18:26I don't know angels had different ranks.
18:28Yeah, seraphim.
18:29They're right at the top, just below God, according to Wikipedia.
18:33One of their jobs is to fly around God's throne crying,
18:36holy, holy, holy...
18:38That could get annoying.
18:39Couldn't it, though?
18:40No wonder he's so angry so much of the time.
18:43It says we've got to wear robes.
18:46Those are dressing gowns.
18:47They're robes.
18:48Bathrobes.
18:49Are you serious?
18:49Casey, I don't make the rules.
18:51You know, it doesn't matter.
18:54I don't know.
19:05They don't make the rules.
19:18Sacris Solemnis, Iunctus in Gaudio, et expo...
19:28...breconia, recedent vetera, nova sint omnia, corda voces opera.
19:51Sigh.
19:57Got any booze?
19:59Booze? Nah.
20:02Do you fancy a beer? I went to the garage.
20:06Yeah. Okay.
20:09Here.
20:11Cheers.
20:37Oh! Hello.
20:40Hiya.
20:41You're Michael's girlfriend?
20:44Girlfriend? No. No. We're just friends.
20:47Oh! Sorry. I'm Beth. I live next door.
20:52Oh! Right. Hi. Casey.
20:54Nice to meet you, Casey.
20:55Nice to meet you, Beth.
20:59You're just grabbing some beers?
21:01Yeah. You know.
21:03Yeah. Thirsty work. All that shovelling.
21:09Yeah.
21:10Yeah.
21:11He's nice, isn't he, Michael?
21:13Yeah.
21:15Yeah.
21:15Yeah, he is nice.
21:17He's interesting, isn't he?
21:20He's always got some projects on the go, you know, in that shed of his.
21:24Yeah?
21:25Yeah.
21:26I'm always wondering what he's up to in there.
21:30Yeah.
21:32Anyways, I'd better be off.
21:34It was lovely to meet you.
21:36Bev. Beverly.
21:37Bev. Lovely to meet you, Bev. Have a good night.
21:39See ya.
21:51That kid who cycles round and round your road.
21:55Elliot.
21:56What's his story?
21:58He's just a teenager.
22:02You ever talk to him?
22:04Nah, not for years.
22:07He used to be a cute kid.
22:08Mm.
22:10You should speak to him.
22:13Why?
22:15Because.
22:16I mean, he's obviously struggling with summer.
22:18He's like a caged animal, riding round and round like that.
22:22It's...
22:22It's sad.
22:25I wouldn't know what to say.
22:26Mm.
22:27Well, you could start with L.O.
22:34Right.
22:35How is your loo?
22:37What for?
22:39What do you mean, what for?
22:40What do you think?
22:41Well, didn't you go before you came?
22:43Are you serious?
22:45It's just, I don't usually...
22:46You don't usually what?
22:47I don't usually let people go in the house.
22:49Right.
22:50Well, I need the loo, so...
22:55Is it a number one or a number two?
22:57There'll be a prick, Michael.
22:58Yes.
22:59Okay.
23:01It's upstairs, but don't...
23:02Don't what?
23:03I don't know, but don't look around.
23:34Well...
23:36Okay.
23:38I'll go...
23:40Two.
23:41Two.
23:43Two.
23:47Two four.
23:48All right?
23:49Yeah.
23:50Did you find it all right?
23:52Yeah, top of the stairs, like you said.
24:01What's in the boxes?
24:02So you had a look around, then?
24:04Mate, I didn't go rifling through your stuff.
24:06I just went to the loo and saw a shit ton of boxes.
24:16Hey, you know what I told you the other day?
24:18About wanting to be in neighbours?
24:21What, have you got an audition?
24:22Oh, no.
24:23What would yours be?
24:25A dream job?
24:27Ah.
24:28I'd live on an island.
24:30You do live on an island.
24:31A tiny island and I would count seagulls.
24:36Is that a job?
24:37Yeah.
24:38I used to do conservation work as a volunteer.
24:42That's where Claire and I met.
24:44One summer, on a trip, monitoring birds on this little island off the Welsh coast.
24:50A couple of years later, we applied to be the wardens of this place up in Scotland.
24:54We were accepted.
24:57But, er...
24:59But what?
25:00Well, it didn't happen.
25:02Claire wasn't well enough.
25:03She had...
25:07She was fragile.
25:15They're not mine.
25:18The boxes.
25:20It's all clear.
25:22She had a stall at an antiques fair.
25:25It's all her stall.
25:27Stock, second-hand bucks.
25:30How big was this stall?
25:32Well...
25:35A couple of years after she went, I got a call from this storage place.
25:38They said there's unpaid bills, so I went along.
25:41There were three lock-ups full.
25:43I couldn't afford the payment, so I brought it all here.
25:47That's a lot to unpack.
25:49I'm not going to unpack it.
25:50It's not mine.
25:51I meant, like, emotionally.
25:54So did I.
25:57Sorry.
25:57You obviously don't want to talk about it.
25:59No, no.
26:00Casey.
26:02I do want to talk about her.
26:04I don't ever get to talk about her.
26:07And I miss her so much.
26:17When did she go?
26:20Christmas Eve.
26:23It was nearly seven years ago.
26:26She just didn't come home.
26:29They found a car on the Severn Bridge.
26:35I'd prepared this surprise for her.
26:37It was a trip back in time to her best ever Christmas.
26:42For a week she was banned from going in the lounge
26:45while I set it all up from a photo.
26:49But she didn't get to see it.
26:55What happened to it all?
26:56It's still there.
26:58It's waiting for her to come home.
27:06Can I see it?
27:12Can I see it?
27:12No one's ever seen it.
27:16Can I see it?
27:18Can I see it?
27:29Oh my god.
27:33This is incredible.
27:42Michael, this is brilliant.
27:50Ow.
27:55Good night, Elliot.
27:59Good night.
28:14Good night, Elliot.
28:19Good night.
28:22Good night.
28:27Good night.
28:30Good night.
29:01I know we're older now and lost again Down at the cul-de-sac you left, my friend I put
29:21the kettle on the wise man's song for you
