00:00O joy, O joy, O joy, O joy, O joy, O God, O singly a song.
00:19Come, and be O Lord, be upon Him.
00:28Oh, come, let us adore him, oh, come, let us adore him, oh, come, let us adore him,
00:46Christ the Lord.
00:50Oh, right.
00:53Here we go.
00:54So, what do you call an old snowman?
00:59Oh.
01:00Hmm.
01:01Frosty.
01:02Frosty?
01:03What?
01:04Wait, 40 with an S.
01:07Foresty, a 40-year-old snowman.
01:10Mum, actually, that's quite bright.
01:12Okay, that's just weird.
01:13Only Kelby would even think of that.
01:15So what's the answer anyway?
01:17Water.
01:19I don't get it.
01:20It's melting.
01:22Here it is.
01:22Oh, yeah.
01:23My favourite nephew.
01:24Yeah, can you lot be quiet, please, or I will have to call the police.
01:27Fall away, we're all in here.
01:29I'm a plus one.
01:30Actually, plus two.
01:31Yeah.
01:32Haven't you got any Christmas music?
01:33Oh, I'll ask, but Mr. Finch isn't a fan.
01:37He says it lowers the tone.
01:38Yeah, Finch the Grinch.
01:42But I can get more drinks, though, Auntie Em.
01:45Go on, then.
01:46Same again all round, I think, Robert.
01:49Did he tell you what he's been doing?
01:51He's been saving all his tips for the Children's Ward Christmas party.
01:55Aww.
01:56Tell him how much you've got, Bobby.
01:58No, I don't know that much.
01:59He said it's nearly £2,000.
02:03Amazing.
02:04Well done, you.
02:05Oh, I, um, can I get those drinks?
02:09Mm.
02:10He's so lovely.
02:12Yeah.
02:13He is.
02:15I'm paying you some work, and I'll have a family with you.
02:18Sorry.
02:18Yeah, I was just taking their drinks order.
02:21And they wanted to know if they could have any Christmas music.
02:23Well, they want Shaker Stevens, wham, wizard.
02:26I asked you to bring the ice out over ten minutes ago.
02:28Sorry, sorry.
02:29Yeah, I'll do it now.
02:30Oh, don't bother.
02:31I'll get it myself.
02:34Well, I'm just off for a Christmas tinkle.
02:37Oh, Tia, no.
02:38Make sure you wash your hands.
02:40Sorry.
02:41No, I can't.
02:42Oh, my.
02:43No, I can't.
02:43Oh, another round?
02:45Oh, another round?
02:47Oh, another round?
03:20Was everything okay?
03:21Oh, yes, it was, darling.
03:24You did me proud.
03:26Oh, good.
03:27Oh, I'd better get back to work.
03:29Oh.
03:31Yeah.
03:31Come on, Margot.
03:32Yeah, come.
03:32Ready, Margot?
03:33Good king's last.
03:36Well, I wouldn't let snowman fall.
03:47Oh, yeah.
03:49Oh, yeah.
03:51Woo.
03:51Oh, no.
04:25Hello?
04:28Sir?
04:32You okay there, my love?
04:37You waiting for someone?
04:42Oh, you're freezing.
04:44How long have you been here?
04:49Do you need something?
04:51No.
04:52No.
05:18To be continued...
05:22I took a lovely face without a frown, just as the tide was flowing.
05:37OK, so, can I ask why you opened the bin?
05:41Fish.
05:42You were looking for fish?
05:43No, I got fish. I was looking for veg.
05:45Why?
05:46They throw it out at the end of the day, see.
05:48There's nothing wrong with most of it.
05:50I've got a nice bit of broccoli for my salmon.
05:53I mean, I had to trim it up a bit, but the really mangy stuff, I cut up and I
05:57use it for feed.
05:58Oh, for the fish?
06:00For the rabbit.
06:02Right, and what time was this?
06:05Quarter to nine. I know that because I had to get the veg back to Janet for five to...
06:11The rabbit?
06:12My wife's sister, she cuts up the veg for the rabbit, but she leaves for work at nine.
06:19Banksy.
06:20She works at the banks?
06:22No, the rabbit's called Banksy, after that artist fella, the one who draws on walls.
06:28OK.
06:30He's not dead.
06:31I saw him breathing.
06:34Banksy?
06:36No, the bloke in the bin.
06:39Oh.
07:01Oh, that looks nice.
07:03Oh, yes.
07:03Over me.
07:04Of course, Margaret.
07:08Whoa, whoa, whoa.
07:09This way.
07:10Who's your friend?
07:11I found him in a wheelie bin.
07:14His name's Seb.
07:15And he had a bit too much to drink last night, didn't you, Seb?
07:18Well, you know you've had a good night when you wake up in a wheelie bin.
07:23You taking him home?
07:25Not yet.
07:26Can't get his head off.
07:27He said his mates glued it on.
07:29Oh, dear.
07:35You'll need some adhesive remover.
07:38I'll take him.
07:39You go and get some.
07:40Come on.
07:41All right, let's step carefully.
07:43Are you careful?
07:43We will be.
07:45OK.
07:46I've got you.
07:46Oh, oh, my nap.
07:49Layers.
07:50Yeah.
07:58Ooh.
08:00There's an exhibition on at the town hall tonight.
08:03Christmas through the decades.
08:05We're going Christmas shopping, remember?
08:07We built replica rooms from every decade.
08:10From the noughties back through the nineties, the eighties, seventies, the sixties.
08:15You need to finish by five.
08:16OK, I'll try.
08:20You promised.
08:22Right.
08:23Say it out loud.
08:26I will finish at five.
08:28Good.
08:30Let's hope Shipton Abbott's criminal fraternity don't get to hear about this.
08:34We could have a six o'clock frenzy.
08:38Oh, hello.
08:48I'm not sure which question to ask first.
09:08Morning, Margot.
09:09Morning.
09:10I, uh, see you've brought your friend in.
09:13He's not my friend.
09:15Kelby found him in a wheelie bin.
09:17Excellent.
09:18Oh.
09:20This is the, uh, the exhibition at the town hall.
09:23Yeah.
09:24Christmas through the decades.
09:26I can get you tickets for that.
09:28My stepmum's one of the organisers.
09:30I get a family discount.
09:32Huh.
09:33Margot?
09:34Oh, I'm busy tonight.
09:44What's wrong with this?
09:47Uh, sorry.
09:49Something wrong with it, I think.
09:53Hmm.
10:00Margot?
10:01Hmm?
10:02Why exactly is the snowman here?
10:05His head's glued on.
10:06And he's refusing to go home because his new girlfriend's mum and dad are there.
10:10They've come down for Christmas to meet him.
10:12Oh, I'm worried about giving them the wrong impression.
10:15Well, I'm worried not to when he dressed in a snowman's suit smelling a wheelie bin.
10:18Fair enough.
10:20Oh.
10:21Ha-ha.
10:21As soon as you can, please.
10:25Problem?
10:26There was a chap sitting on the doorstep when I opened up.
10:29His name's David, but he seems a bit confused.
10:31So I've put him in the interview room with a cup of tea.
10:33That's a very nice thing to do.
10:35Oh, I've been trying to get social services to come and collect him, but they haven't got anyone free.
10:40I mean, I've made it as comfortable for him as I can in there.
10:44The odd thing was, this is the only thing he had with him.
10:50Hmm.
10:51Weird.
10:53David, is it?
10:59David, we're just a little bit confused about why you have a photograph of me in your pocket.
11:08Did I?
11:10You don't recall why?
11:15Take time.
11:19Have we ever met?
11:23I need to find my sister.
11:25Your sister?
11:26Is that why you're here?
11:28Louise.
11:29That's her name.
11:34Can you help me?
11:36We can try.
11:37Do you and your sister live together?
11:44Yes.
11:48Only it's Christmas, you see.
11:52I really need to find her.
11:55Well, where do you and your sister live, David?
11:58Is there an address you can give us?
12:05I'm sorry.
12:07I'm not being much help, am I?
12:10Do you live in Shitton Abbott?
12:14I really need to find her.
12:17Well, it's all right.
12:19Okay?
12:19Don't upset yourself.
12:20We'll work it out.
12:22It would help if we had a full name.
12:25David.
12:27I...
12:35I'll write it down, shall I?
12:37Can you, um...
12:39Can you spell it for me?
12:41David.
12:43H.
12:44A-L-E-G-O-N.
12:47Hilton.
12:52And there was nothing else in his pockets at all?
12:54Uh, a bit of loose change.
12:56No wallet, no credit cards, no phone, nothing.
12:59Why would a complete stranger,
13:01someone I've never met before,
13:03be sitting on the station doorstep
13:04with a photograph of me in his pocket?
13:07Do you recognise the photo?
13:09Where it was taken, when?
13:10No.
13:11But it has to be key.
13:13Maybe it's on social media somewhere,
13:15something Martha or Anne posted.
13:17I could look online.
13:18Yes, do that.
13:19In the meantime, let's start with a search,
13:22a five-mile radius.
13:22We're looking for a brother and sister living together,
13:26David and Louise Hilton.
13:27Try care homes and sheltered housing first.
13:30Right.
13:30And check other divisions for missing person reports.
13:33On it.
13:35Margot?
13:36I got a call from the hub.
13:38Fisher's wine bar was broken into last night after we left.
13:41No.
13:42Her uniform was attended in the early hours of the morning.
13:45Took photos and secured the building.
13:48They've asked us to follow up.
13:54You're sure you're doing the right thing?
13:57It was something he said when Rosie left
14:00about us being on our own
14:02and how we'd have to make do.
14:05It's always been the same for us,
14:07all through the IVF and the fostering.
14:11The worry lurking under the surface
14:12that we needed something else to be happy.
14:17That we might not be enough for each other on our own.
14:22And this is the best way I could think of
14:24to show him that all I ever need is him
14:28standing next to me,
14:29holding my hand.
14:33This is the best Christmas surprise ever.
14:36It will be, if we all do our part.
14:39So, all the boxes are in the kitchen.
14:41You need to get them there by four.
14:42Put the closed early sign up outside before you go.
14:45OK.
14:46Mum, you need to be at the train station by 2.30.
14:49This is who you're picking up.
14:51Oh, he looks nice.
14:53He is.
14:54Bring him back here.
14:55And if Humphrey comes in, you'll have to hide him.
14:57Hide him?
14:58Where?
15:00Use your imagination.
15:02There's room in the stock cupboard.
15:03Will you mind being in the stock cupboard?
15:05Just do what you need to.
15:06Humphrey mustn't see him.
15:08So, does everyone know what they're doing?
15:10Yeah.
15:12Go team Martha.
15:13Ooh.
15:18So much for Shipton Abbott being Devon's hidden gem.
15:21He's got his scumbags like everywhere else.
15:23I blame the parents.
15:25Yeah.
15:25Put two morons together.
15:27What'd you get?
15:28Surprise.
15:28It's another moron.
15:31You were at home when the alarm company called to say there had been a break-in?
15:34No, I was at Friend's in Palmeirat.
15:36What time?
15:38About 1.30.
15:40It's quite late to go visiting.
15:41Well, we're having a party.
15:43I said I'd join them when the bar closed.
15:45You can see the door's been jimmied open.
15:48Oh, yes.
15:50Can I ask what was taken?
15:52I asked you to go to the bank this morning, so this week's taking so far.
15:56The float, I haven't titled it all up, but I reckon north of 10,000.
16:01A lot of cash?
16:03A lot of cash?
16:03It is Christmas.
16:04People throw in for the bills, so we get more cash than usual.
16:11Can we see inside?
16:13No.
16:17Is there damage anywhere else?
16:18No.
16:21Office?
16:22No.
16:23Then where do they take the cash from?
16:25From the drawer under the till.
16:28Is it usual to keep that amount of money in the bar overnight?
16:31Can be.
16:33Depends on when I can get to the bank.
16:39Water.
16:43But they're wine bottles.
16:45I guess someone spilled water on the bar.
16:55Is that Robert's charity tips, Joe?
16:57Yeah.
16:58Look, is this going to take long?
17:00We're nearly done.
17:01Only I need to get this cleaned up so I can open.
17:03Can I ask?
17:05Who else would have known you had cash here overnight?
17:07No one.
17:09No way.
17:10Robert.
17:11Robert knew.
17:12I remember him yesterday asking me if I'd been to the bank or not.
17:25I can't believe this was anything to do with Margot's nephew.
17:28No.
17:29Let's check where he was last night after the bar closed and check on his party in Polmarin too.
17:35Sir.
17:47There we are, my love.
17:50A nice, fresh cup of tea.
17:51A nice, fresh cup of tea.
18:09Okay, thanks.
18:11Bye.
18:27OK, so I spoke to Terry Finch's friend in Palmarin.
18:31He confirms that Terry arrived there just after midnight
18:34and he was with him when he got the call from the alarm company
18:37about the break-in just after 1.30.
18:38He took a cab back to the wine bar because he'd had a drink.
18:42I've confirmed with the cab company that they picked him up in Palmarin
18:45and took him to the bar.
18:46The uniformed unit were already at the scene
18:48and confirmed the break-in happened at 1.30.
18:50So we can rule out Terry Finch?
18:52Looks that way.
18:57I couldn't find adhesive remover anywhere.
19:00You'd think I'd be asking for unicorn poo.
19:04Had to go to the industrial estate.
19:13You can't just leave him sitting there.
19:15What else can I do with him?
19:17I don't know, but this is a police station.
19:19We're in here discussing cases.
19:20Look, I've just got to get his head off and then I'll get him on.
19:23Can't you just cut it off?
19:25No, hang on. He hired it.
19:27He can't...
19:29He's got a £100 deposit against any damage.
19:32Well, hurry up.
19:33Er, Kelby, can you check CCTV from the high street last night?
19:38Say between 12 and 2 a.m.
19:40Sir, er, what am I looking for?
19:42Ah, well, this is anyone in the vicinity of Fisher's Wine Bar at around 1.30 a.m.
19:47The unit that attended the break-in sent a report.
19:49It's in your inbox.
19:50Thanks, Margot.
19:51And the Grinch sent me a full report of what was stolen.
19:58Around £11,000 in cash, plus the contents of Robert's charity job.
20:03There was a big sticker on it, too, saying it was for charity.
20:07And that Christmas.
20:08God, that's well bad.
20:14Any leads on the photograph?
20:16Er, I ran the search online but didn't find anything,
20:20so I passed it to IT.
20:22See if they have more luck.
20:23And the, er, sister?
20:24Again, nothing so far.
20:27I'm still waiting on the missing person reports to come back,
20:29but I've drawn a blank with electoral register, care homes,
20:33sheltered housing in a five-mile radius.
20:35Looks like we've hit a dead end.
20:36Maybe we should just pass it on to social services.
20:39Well, let's at least keep trying until they get here.
20:48And you're not even going to warn him?
20:51No.
20:52He'll start fretting, and when he frets, he breaks things.
20:55Right, well, speaking of someone surrounded by bottles,
20:57no-one wants that.
20:58Just make sure everything's ready.
21:00It will be.
21:01Ah.
21:02Hi.
21:04Thanks for getting back to me.
21:06How can one person be on the phone so much?
21:09Every time I call her, she's engaged.
21:12Maybe.
21:12She's busy.
21:13I haven't got anything on Fisher's Weimar.
21:16There's no CCTV in the alley.
21:18A few passers-by at the front just after midnight,
21:21then nothing until the police unit turned up just after 1.30.
21:26Then a cab arrives.
21:28Oh, that's Terry Finch.
21:29Oh, still.
21:30Careful.
21:30We still need to speak to Robert, check his movements.
21:33Mm-hmm.
21:34Why?
21:36You don't think he had anything to do with this?
21:38Of course not.
21:39That's to spark the investigation, Margot.
21:41Ticking all the boxes.
21:43Do you know where we can find him?
21:46Margot?
21:47It's burning.
21:48Oh, calm down.
21:49Careful.
21:50Yeah, well, I've got three jobs.
21:52I do mornings here,
21:55home deliveries in the afternoon
21:57and Fisher's four nights a week.
22:00Can you tell us where you were last night
22:01after you left the bar up to about 1.30 a.m.?
22:04Yeah, no, I was at home.
22:06Can anyone vouch for that?
22:08Er, well, no.
22:11Laura is staying at her mum's with the girls.
22:14Laura's your wife?
22:14Yeah, yeah.
22:16Hey, um,
22:18is it true that they took that charity money
22:20from behind the bar, too?
22:23Yes, they did.
22:24Who would do something like that?
22:26Er, yesterday.
22:28Do you recall asking Terry Finch
22:30if he'd been to the bank?
22:32Er, no.
22:34Oh, no, wait, yes.
22:36Yeah, yes.
22:37I think I did.
22:38Can I ask why?
22:39Oh, no, no reason.
22:40I just have to cover the bar if he goes...
22:43to the...
22:44Sorry, am I in trouble?
22:45No.
22:46No, not at all.
22:48Um, just routine questions.
22:50Oh.
22:51Can you just run us through your shift yesterday,
22:53starting with after we left?
22:55Yeah, well, I mean, I was rushed off my feet.
22:57Er, Mr Finch, see, he won't hire any more staff.
23:00He says cutting costs makes us look good to head office.
23:03Hmm.
23:05Er, you didn't notice anything out of the ordinary?
23:06No.
23:07No, no, no.
23:07We had three parties in.
23:09Er, we called last orders not long after you guys left,
23:12and, you know, everyone just drifted off.
23:13What time is that?
23:14Er, I think we were emptied by about half eleven.
23:16Yeah.
23:17I wiped down the tables and the bar.
23:19I put the, er, thank you.
23:21I put the empties in the bottle crate
23:23to be collected the next morning.
23:25Emptied the bins behind the bar.
23:27Normally I'd run the bin bags out the back,
23:28but Mr Finch told me to go home, so, yeah.
23:31I think I left by about quarter to twelve.
23:33Then after you left, did you see anyone outside?
23:36Nope.
23:36It was pretty quiet.
23:40Oh, no, hold on.
23:41There was this lunatic in a snowman suit.
23:46Yeah.
23:47Oh, God.
23:50Are you sure we can't take this head off yet?
23:52Apparently not.
23:54Glue needs to soften for another twenty minutes.
23:56And we can't cut it off,
23:58cos he'll lose his deposit.
24:00He'll lose his deposit.
24:02Fine.
24:02So, you were at a party?
24:04Yeah.
24:05Er, I was at a mate's flat.
24:06His girlfriend's birthday.
24:08Fancy dress.
24:09Whoa.
24:10How do you know that?
24:11I'm a detective.
24:12And on your way home,
24:13you walk through the alley,
24:15behind the shops on the high street.
24:16Er, shortcut.
24:17Right.
24:18Did you see anyone?
24:20Particularly anyone at the back of Fisher's Wine Bar.
24:22I think I saw a bloke taking the bins out.
24:26Right, what time?
24:26Oh, maybe just before midnight.
24:29Oh, and then there was this bunch of kids.
24:31Kids?
24:32Yeah, about ten of them, on bikes.
24:35All started taking the mick, obviously.
24:37How old?
24:38Don't know.
24:39Fifteen?
24:40Sixteen?
24:41Anyways, they all start pushing me around,
24:43and then one of them goes,
24:45oh, chuck him in the wheelie bin.
24:47And so they did.
24:49Couldn't you get out?
24:50Oh, I was smashed by then.
24:53Plus, it's surprisingly comfortable in there.
24:55Don't remember nothing after that.
24:57Right.
24:58Sergeant.
25:01What are you thinking?
25:04This fresh splinter of wood we found at the scene.
25:06From the back door?
25:07Yeah.
25:08But it was only visible once the bin men
25:10had taken the bags away in the morning, do you remember?
25:12They cleared them while we were there.
25:15So?
25:15So.
25:19So, surely that must mean
25:20the splinter was under the bags.
25:22But how can that be
25:23when our snowman saw Finch put the bags out
25:26before he left the evening?
25:27It doesn't make any sense.
25:29We know the break-in was at 1.30
25:31because that's when the alarm went off.
25:32Exactly.
25:34Exactly.
25:57The eagle has landed.
26:08It's ham and cheese.
26:12It's ham and cheese.
26:23It's ham and cheese.
26:26No, David.
26:27Not yet.
26:28But we're looking, OK?
26:29I miss her so much.
26:32Oh, mate.
26:36Hey.
26:37We know you do.
26:39Don't get upset, all right?
26:41Our inspector, he's looking for her.
26:44And he's amazing.
26:53Got it.
26:54That was IT.
26:55They found a match for the image.
26:56Ah.
26:57It's from the Tavistock Chronicle newspaper.
27:01Coverage of the amateur dramatics train murder.
27:03They snapped you at the station, remember?
27:05Oh, still.
27:05No idea.
27:07It's definitely the same image.
27:09OK, good.
27:09So let's focus our search on the Tavistock area
27:12and see what that throws up.
27:14Will do.
27:15All right.
27:16Oh, steady.
27:16Yeah, well, you've got my skin there.
27:19Oh!
27:20Oh!
27:21Oh!
27:24Everyone, meet Seb Branner.
27:26Hello, Seb.
27:27Thank heavens for that.
27:28Oh, thank you, guys.
27:30I thought I'd never get out.
27:32David got a bit upset.
27:34Started talking about his sister again.
27:37But he's calmed down a bit.
27:39Poor love.
27:41Oh, hello, mate.
27:42Oh, you all right?
27:43Kelby will show you where the bathroom is.
27:45You can get the rest of it off.
27:46Brilliant.
27:47Cheers.
27:47All right.
27:48Oh, sorry.
27:49Yeah.
27:49OK.
27:50You all right?
27:52I've sent an information request to Tavistock police
27:55and the town council.
27:56Mm-hmm.
27:57So what are you thinking?
27:59The kids on the bikes?
28:02No.
28:04Yeah.
28:05There were three or four bottles of Pinot Grigio
28:07smashed on the floor.
28:09No other damage.
28:10There was no empty beer cans,
28:12no witty remarks or pictures of genitalia
28:15etched on the walls.
28:16The office was untouched.
28:18No, this wasn't teenagers.
28:20I think this was someone who knew the cash was there
28:23and where it was.
28:26Robert?
28:27So you do think Bobby was involved?
28:29No.
28:30Yes, you do.
28:31I can see it on your faces.
28:33We're still trying to work out exactly what happened, Margot.
28:36But Bobby is a suspect.
28:38No.
28:38Well, yes.
28:40But only until we eliminate him.
28:42I'm sorry, Margot.
28:44We don't like it any more than you do,
28:45but we have to do our job.
28:47He's the only other person who knew that cash was there overnight.
28:50And he's working three jobs,
28:52so we know money's tight for him.
28:53And I've known him his entire life.
28:56There's no way he could do anything like this.
28:58We're sure that's true, but we have to...
29:00With no buts.
29:01That boy goes to the children's ward
29:04every Christmas morning to take them presents.
29:06Do you really think he'd steal his own charity money?
29:10And yes, he's got three jobs,
29:12but that's because he's a hard-working lad
29:14trying to provide for his own family,
29:16not a thief!
29:23Margot!
29:25Good luck with that.
29:37Everything all right?
29:38Yeah.
29:38The boxes are in the car.
29:40Mum back?
29:41Yeah, she's just in the kitchen making him a sandwich.
29:45You're not having second thoughts, are you?
29:48What if he hates it?
29:49He won't.
29:51He'll love it.
29:52You think?
29:53I know.
29:55All right.
29:56I'd better go and check on our guest.
30:04Sir?
30:06Tavistock police.
30:07No missing person reports in the past week.
30:09Okay.
30:10But I still think we're in the right area,
30:12so try GP surgeries next, social services.
30:16See if any of them have a patient called David or Louise Haylton.
30:19Sure.
30:35I'm sorry I shouted.
30:40I was a bit cross.
30:41It's perfectly understandable.
30:43But I stand by what I said.
30:45My Bobby isn't a thief.
30:55So, Kelby, did you get your snowman home?
30:58Seb, yeah.
31:00I got to meet his new girlfriend's parents.
31:02Yeah, they didn't suspect a thing.
31:04Well, he did have a rash across his neck.
31:08But he said it was only because he was nervous to meet him.
31:12Smooth.
31:13Hm.
31:14Heat rash, probably, from being in that suit.
31:16He must have been melting in there.
31:18Oh, hey, it's like that joke from last night.
31:20What do you call an old snowman?
31:23Water.
31:26Ice!
31:27That's it.
31:29Melting ice.
31:31Explain.
31:34An empty crisp packet.
31:35What?
31:36Oh, no, sorry.
31:39If this splinter of wood was found underneath the bags of rubbish at the back of Fisher's wine bar,
31:44then the door must have been forced open before they were put out by Terry Finch shortly before midnight.
31:56Except that's not possible,
31:58because we know the break-in was an hour and a half later.
32:01What if it wasn't?
32:03What if everything was just set up to look like a break-in?
32:09By whom?
32:10Terry Finch.
32:11Yes!
32:13Sorry.
32:14But if Finch set all this up himself,
32:17how could the alarm go off at 1.30 in the morning
32:20when we know he was 10 miles away in Polmarin?
32:22Because in the words of a song from my youth,
32:25Ice, ice, baby, ice!
32:28Remember?
32:30The pool of water on the bar.
32:33What about it?
32:34I thought it was all at the time.
32:36It was wine bottles that were broken,
32:37so how could it be water?
32:40Robert told us he wiped down the bar before he left.
32:43And he also said he emptied the bin behind the bar.
32:47Yet, it had a plastic bag in it.
32:56Okay, now you're losing me.
32:58I saw a similar bag at the Christmas party.
33:03Sorry.
33:06But you'd expect to see a bag used for ice behind a bar, wouldn't you?
33:10Yes, but...
33:12If Robert emptied the bin, as he said,
33:14and I have no reason to doubt him,
33:16why was it there in the morning?
33:20Good night.
33:22This is what I think happened.
33:24I had to carry you tonight.
33:25Right, sorry.
33:26Pull your finger out,
33:28or else I'm going to have to get someone else.
33:29Don't say that.
33:30Mr Finch, no, no, no.
33:31You know I need this job.
33:32Well, maybe you should be thinking more about your kids
33:34and less about fawning all over the puns.
33:36It's Christmas.
33:37I just wanted everyone to have a good time.
33:39I told you, Christmas is for mugs.
33:41All I'm interested in is how much they spend.
33:44Right, so less chitty-chatting and more serving.
33:46You got it?
33:47Yep, got it.
33:48I think Robert did exactly as he said.
33:50After he cleaned the bar, he emptied the bin.
33:52Leave him, I'll take him out.
33:53No, no, no, it's fine.
33:53I'll take him...
33:54Leave him, I'll take him out.
33:55I'll do it myself.
33:56Like everything else, go on.
33:58Go on.
33:59I'm sick of looking at you.
34:01Night, Mr Finch.
34:02Once Robert had left,
34:04Finch went straight out to the back door.
34:20Which is how this splinter of wood got in the alley
34:22before the bags of rubbish?
34:23It's the only thing that fits.
34:26Jingle smells, my soup smells.
34:29I feel really sick.
34:30Cheer up, mate.
34:31It's Christmas.
34:35Oh, what fun it is to watch.
34:38Hey, look at this guy.
34:39All right, kids.
34:40All right, guys.
34:40Let's chuck him in the bin.
34:45There was no damage anywhere else.
34:47No sign of anyone searching the office.
34:49So our thief had to know where the money was.
34:59But this, this was the clever bit.
35:08Ice defrost at a predetermined pace.
35:12And therefore, it makes a perfect time delay switch.
35:17So as the ice melts, the bottles will fall.
35:21Setting off the alarm?
35:23Precisely.
35:24I'll see you later.
35:25I'm sorry.
35:25I'm sorry.
35:38Oh, God.
35:43I'm sorry.
35:45Oh, God.
35:45Oh, God.
35:45Oh, God.
35:46Oh, God.
35:47Oh, God.
36:25By the time Terry Finch arrived at the wine bar, the police were already there and had found the broken
36:30back door and broken wine bottles on the floor.
36:32Which would look exactly like a break-in.
36:34I think when Terry got there, he took the plastic ice bag from the bar and simply threw it in
36:40the bin.
36:45But forgot to wipe away the water from the melted ice on the bar.
36:49Precisely.
36:51So, it wasn't Bobby.
36:53No, it was not.
36:59Crikey.
37:00Thank you, Margot.
37:03Kelby, go pick him up.
37:06Oh, Tavistock Social Services.
37:10They've reported one of their care home residents, David Hilton, as missing.
37:15He wasn't in his room when his carer went in this morning.
37:19No mention of his sister, but his daughter and son-in-law are on their way now to pick him
37:25up.
37:26Oh, yes.
37:27So, he'll be with his family for Christmas.
37:29Well done, everyone.
37:49Kelby called.
37:50They've got him.
37:50And Margot ran a cheque.
37:52Seems he was sacked from his last job for running up gambling debt on the company credit card.
37:56I see.
37:57So, he was a gambler.
37:59Whose luck just ran out?
38:06Hello.
38:08I'm Humphrey.
38:09Well, this is Aston.
38:13He's your dad, is he?
38:14We've been going out of our minds all day.
38:17Yes, I'm sure.
38:18Where did you find him?
38:19Er, he found us.
38:21He was sitting on the doorstep when I came in this morning.
38:23Er, are we going to see Louise now?
38:25Oh, not yet, Dad.
38:27We need to get you home.
38:30Everyone's worried about you.
38:31He's been talking about his sister all day.
38:34I'm sorry.
38:35We'll get him home.
38:36I'm sure you've got more important things to do.
38:38Not at all.
38:39Can I just ask?
38:41He had a photograph of me in his pocket.
38:48You wouldn't happen to know why.
38:50You're Humphrey Goodman.
38:52Yes.
38:53Yes, I am.
38:55Dad, you sit with Keith for a minute, okay?
38:59I won't be long.
39:02Yeah.
39:04You all right, Dad?
39:05You all right?
39:07Hmm?
39:09Dad and his sister Louise were adopted.
39:11They lost their parents when he was seven.
39:14They were supposed to go to the same family, but circumstances changed and they were split up.
39:18Darro, ye faithful, joyful and filled with kindness.
39:29Here we is.
39:40Come and pray, Vergine.
39:43Come and hear all.
39:48he tried to look for her over the years but just hit one dead end after another
39:53so he just sort of locked it away and got on with his life
39:58just became that unspoken thing
40:00and then he started to get ill
40:05and he was diagnosed as having dementia
40:09and as his memory started to deteriorate
40:13he started talking about louise again
40:18it was as if of all the things he had in his life
40:21she was the thing he was frightened about forgetting the most
40:26so we decided to try again
40:29we hit the same dead ends as before but this time we found her
40:33that was so excited
40:36we traced her to gloucester where she was adopted by a couple on christmas eve in 1968
40:41they changed her name to theirs so she became louise briggs
40:45but then she moved away
40:47and we lost all track of her
40:49but then
40:50the people who bought her old house in gloucester
40:53found an old bank statement dated from around the time she moved away
40:56but it showed that she made a withdrawal from an atm in shipton abbott
41:00sorry
41:01oh
41:02i still don't see why david would have a photograph of me in his pocket
41:07so we were at a loss as what to do next
41:09so we spoke to dad about hiring a private detective in the new year
41:13someone from devon who could help us find her
41:16and dad saw your picture in the paper and thought you looked like a decent chap
41:20so he was gonna call you and ask if you could help
41:25he can't remember what he had for breakfast
41:28but he can tell you what song was on the radio the day they took louise away
41:35it's like he's stuck in that moment
41:39and the hurt is just as real now as it was then
41:48okay everyone let's run a check on the name louise briggs

45:37What? Come on.
45:43He's here.
45:45Ah. Oh, good Lord.
45:49You mean we're really getting married?
45:51I just told you.
45:52Yes, but I thought it a metaphor.
45:54For?
45:55For something else.
45:57You still want to get married, don't you?
45:59Yes, of course I do, but...
46:01I mean, why the big secret?
46:03Because whenever we've planned it properly, it's always gone wrong.
46:08And so I just thought I'd sneak up on you.
46:12And because after Rosie left,
46:15I wanted to show you that as hard as it was losing her,
46:19it was kind of all right because I still had you.
46:24And you're enough.
46:26Sorry.
46:31Shall we get married then?
46:32Yes, please.
46:33Yeah!
46:37Ah, you'll need to change.
46:39And, ah, I nearly forgot.
46:42Mm-hmm.
46:42I found you a best man, too.
46:45God! Crikey!
46:47Commissioner!
46:49Nice of you to join us, Inspector Goodman.
46:58He's here.
46:59He's here.
47:09Honey, do you want to take over?
47:11Dad.
47:13Look over there.
47:14It's Louise.
47:27It's Louise.
47:30David.
47:54I can't believe you've come all this way just for me.
47:56I didn't.
47:59I didn't.
48:01Well, I was in the UK anyway, visiting my daughter.
48:04This was a happy coincidence.
48:07Even so.
48:09Thank you, sir.
48:11Or should I call you Selwyn?
48:13No.
48:14Of course.
48:16If I'm sure to laugh at all your jokes
48:20If I'm in you and you're feeling broke
48:26If I promise this is what I'll do
48:32Will you love me like I do you?
48:38Will you love me like I do you?
48:38If I hold you and the world is great
48:43If you don't try and take me
48:47Wait!
48:49Oh!
48:49I can do it.
48:50Just in time.
48:52Come on.
48:53Okay.
48:54I can.
48:55Will you love me like I do you?
49:01So, we're here today
49:03To witness the marriage of Humphrey and Martha
49:06Who are not so much starting a new life together
49:09But confirming their commitment to each other
49:13Do you remember our house?
49:17My bedroom is next to your bedroom
49:21That's right
49:23To cherish and respect each other
49:25Throughout our lives together
49:32Humphrey
49:32Humphrey
49:32Pardon?
49:34I give you this ring
49:36Wait, um
49:38What is that?
49:43Just don't talk amongst yourselves
49:44Aw, go ahead, go ahead
49:48Phew
49:50Sorry?
49:50I give you this ring as a symbol of our love, trust and marriage.
49:57I give you this ring as a symbol of our love, trust and marriage.
50:05I promise to care for you above all others and to give you my love, friendship and support.
50:12I promise to care for you above all others, to give you my love, friendship and support.
50:24Other finger.
50:26Other finger.
50:27No, the ring, the other finger.
50:29Oh, sorry, golly.
50:36Other finger.
50:38And to respect and cherish you throughout our lives together.
50:41And to respect and cherish you throughout our lives together.
50:49And now, a short reading from the best man, Selwyn.
50:56Who is to say what love is?
51:00From the fluttering heart that sees a face long missed
51:06to the tearful, breathless wrench of a love only ever found in the moment.
51:17Or a love that speaks of blood shared.
51:24Of a bond that can't be broken.
51:31Of a light that can never be dimmed by adversity.
51:38Who is to say what love is?
51:42Because love seeks no favor nor does it seek permission.
51:53It seeks no title, no praise or reward.
51:59Love simply is.
52:04Love never blames, always forgives, and cannot be diminished by distance.
52:14Or weakened by time.
52:18Love is what is left when everything else deserts you.
52:24Who is to say what love is?
52:31Only you.
52:33Because only you know.
52:38At which point, having declared their vows to each other,
52:42and through the exchanging of rings,
52:44I can very happily declare that Humphrey and Martha are now husband and wife.
53:05whoo!
53:06Ah, congratulations.
53:08Archie, thank you.
53:09This is perfect.
53:11Worth all the skullduggery?
53:13Definitely.
53:14All those clandestine meetings was a bit like being back in the old days.
53:17Stop.
53:17I'm a married woman.
53:19And I couldn't be happier for you.
53:25It's such a shame he can't find someone.
53:29I mean, he's handsome, rich, generous to a fruit, even makes his own wine.
53:36I mean, there should be a queue around the building.
53:40Though I have to admit that you're a clumsy, annoying, socially awkward,
53:45yet quite delightful beanpole for a new husband is quite a catch too.
53:52Yes, he is.
53:56Oh, Inspector, we were just comparing notes.
53:59That's mildly terrifying.
54:01It seems you've brought all your annoying traits with you from the Caribbean.
54:04But also your brilliance.
54:06Yes.
54:06Ah.
54:07Congratulations.
54:08Thank you, Mum.
54:11Commissioner?
54:12It was my pleasure.
54:16Thank you for being here.
54:18And your reading was quite beautiful.
54:20I'm not entirely sure
54:23how you managed to convince her
54:27to marry you.
54:30You're a very lucky man.
54:32Yes, I am.
54:34Oh.
54:36Excuse me.
54:37Of course.
54:39Inspector Wilson.
54:40David and her sister, how'd it go?
54:43We found her.
54:44She agreed to meet him.
54:45They're together now.
54:46It was amazing.
54:48So, she was related to Seb the Snowman?
54:51Yes, she was his step-mom.
54:53Congratulations, everyone.
54:54Well done.
54:54You're amazing.
54:55Yeah, we are.
54:57I think we should reward ourselves with another drink.
55:00Oh, yes.
55:00Good idea.
55:01Come on, sir.
55:07Everything okay, sir?
55:09That was the new inspector.
55:11He's working on a case in St. Marie.
55:13But there seems to be links to the UK which
55:17you would like me to look into while I'm here.
55:20Sorry, Selwyn.
55:22Can I steal my husband?
55:23Be my guest.
55:25Thank you, sir.
55:30All right?
55:31Okay.
55:34Any excuse?
55:36Excuse me?
55:37To stand next to me.
55:40What did you do?
55:41Pour it into a pot plant?
55:42You wish.
55:44Oh, really?
55:45Yeah.
55:46One, two.
55:47Two, one, two.
55:47Yeah, that's great.
55:48Maybe I do.
55:51Good evening, ladies and gentlemen.
55:52We are bellowheads!
55:54Can't keep running away.
55:57Mum!
55:58Come on!
55:58The band's starting!
56:04My true love song was beautiful.
56:07Well, we finally did it.
56:10Sorry, that one.
56:12Yes, we did.
56:14Happy?
56:15Very.
56:16Actually, it doesn't matter if you are or not.
56:18There's no escape now.
56:19You're stuck with me.
56:21It's the only place we've ever wanted to be.
56:24Merry Christmas, Mrs. Goodman.
56:26Merry Christmas, Mr. Goodman.
56:27Merry Christmas, Mrs. Goodman.
56:34Merry Christmas, Mr. Goodman!
56:35I do!
56:35Come on, sir.
56:36Good boy, people!
56:36Give me the dance!
56:38What do I want?
56:40When last I saw my mech
56:42She'd a government band around me
56:45Chanted a little bit about her leg
56:47And I've never been a man
56:48Turned away from the last
56:49That the big ship sailed away
56:51And I said that I'd beat you to her
56:53Ten thousand miles away
56:55And I'll sing over the wind's high on
56:58A road in mine will go
57:00I'll sing no more
57:02I'm able to show
57:03Well done
57:04I'm on the morning train
57:07I won't be back again
57:09I'm shaking my chip on my gum
57:11I'm shaking thousand miles away
57:13Oh my God, great job
57:32Congratulations Mr. and Mrs. Goodman
57:35We'll turn and shout to London
57:38For the river I'm quite clear
57:40But the ocean's brine
57:41Return to wine
57:42And I'll forget me beer
57:44Oh I'll forget me beer
57:46Midlands and the landlord's tub I'll pay
57:48Before I forget my own
57:50Did make ten thousand miles away
57:52And I'll sing over the wind's high on
57:55A road in mine will go
57:57I'll stay no more
57:58On England's shore
57:59For to hear the music played
58:01For I'm off the morning train
58:03I won't be back again
58:05I'm shaking a chip on a government ship
58:08Ten thousand miles away
58:09I'll Herman
58:10I'll be back again
58:10Now...
58:10...
