00:00Oh, joy for her, joy for her, O God, dear Lord, my Father, to every Son of God.
00:16CHOIR SINGS
00:46Oh, right. Here we go. What do you call an old snowman?
00:59Oh. Hmm. Frosty. Frosty? What?
01:04Wait. Forty with an S. Foresty. A 40-year-old snowman.
01:10Mum. Actually, that's quite bright.
01:12OK, 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.
01:21Here he 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.
01:31Haven't you got any Christmas music?
01:33Oh, I'll ask, but Mr. Finch isn't a fan. He says it lowers the tone.
01:38Yeah. Finch the Grinch.
01:42But I can get more drinks, though, Auntie Em.
01:44Go 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.
01:55Aw.
01:55Tell him how much you've got, Bobby.
01:58Oh, I don't know that.
01:59He said it's nearly £2,000.
02:03Amazing.
02:03Well done, you.
02:05Oh.
02:06Oh, I, um...
02:08Can I get those drinks?
02:09Mm.
02:09He's so lovely.
02:12Yeah.
02:13He is.
02:15I'm paying you to work and I'll have a family with you.
02:17Sorry.
02:18Yeah, I was just taking their drinks and order.
02:20Um, 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, Tian.
02:37Make sure you wash your hands.
02:39Sorry.
02:41You know, I count.
02:42Third point.
02:44Oh, you know the wrong?
02:44Oh, you know the wrong?
03:09Is everything OK?
03:21Oh, yes, it was, darling.
03:24You did me proud.
03:25Oh, good.
03:27Oh, I better get back to work.
03:29Oh, good.
03:31You having it, Margot?
03:33Yeah, come. Ready, Margot?
03:35Good King Wensler's last let down
03:37Oh, look down
03:39The beast of the demon
03:41I know!
03:49Oh!
03:59Good King Wensler
04:25Hello?
04:27Sir?
04:29You okay there, my love?
04:37You waiting for someone?
04:43Oh, you're freezing.
04:45How long have you been here?
04:49Do you need something?
04:59Do you need something?
05:01Do you need something?
05:07Do you need something?
05:09Oh, I'm sorry?
05:11I'm sorry.
05:13We're not a hero?
05:15He beheld his lover
05:17Her cheeks were red and eyes were brown
05:20Her hair and ringlets hanging down
05:22She'd a lovely face without a frown
05:24Just as the tide was flowing
05:27Okay, so can I ask why you opened the bin?
05:41Fish.
05:41You 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
05:50Got a nice bit of broccoli for my salmon
05:52I mean, I had to trim it up a bit
05:54But the really mangy stuff
05:56I cut up and I use it for feed
05:58Oh, for the fish?
06:00For the rabbit
06:01Right, and what time was this?
06:05Quarter to nine
06:06I know that
06:07Because I had to get the veg back to Janet for five to
06:10The rabbit?
06:12My wife's sister
06:13She cuts up the veg for the rabbit
06:15But she leaves for work at nine
06:18Banksy
06:19She works at the banks?
06:22No
06:22The rabbit's called Banksy
06:24After that artist fella
06:26The one who draws on walls
06:28Okay
06:29He's not dead
06:30I saw him breathing
06:32Banksy?
06:35No
06:35The bloke in the bin
06:38Oh
06:39Morning
06:48Oh, that looks nice
07:03Oh, yeah
07:03Over me
07:04This way
07:09Who's your friend?
07:12I found him in a wheelie bin
07:13His name's Seb
07:15And he had a bit too much to drink last night
07:17Didn't you, Seb?
07:18Well, you know you've had a good night
07:20When you wake up in a wheelie bin
07:21You taking him home?
07:25Not yet
07:25Can't get his head off
07:27He said his mates glued it on
07:29Oh, dear
07:31You'll need some adhesive remover
07:37I'll take him
07:39You go and get some
07:40Come on
07:41Right, let's step carefully
07:42Careful
07:43We will be
07:44Okay
07:45I've got you
07:46Oh, oh
07:47My nap
07:48Layers
07:49Yeah
07:50There's an exhibition on at the town hall tonight
08:02Christmas through the decades
08:04We're going Christmas shopping, remember?
08:07We've built replica rooms from every decade
08:09From the noughties back through the nineties
08:12The eighties, seventies, the sixties
08:15You need to finish by five
08:16Okay, I'll try
08:17You promised
08:21Right
08:22Say it out loud
08:24I will finish at five
08:27Good
08:29Let's hope Shipton Abbott's criminal fraternity
08:32Don't get to hear about this
08:33We could have a six o'clock frenzy
08:35Oh, hello
08:39I'm not sure which question to ask first
08:50Morning, Margot
09:09Morning
09:10I, uh, see you've brought your friend in
09:12He's not my friend
09:14Kelby found him in a wheelie bin
09:16Excellent
09:17Oh
09:19This is the, uh, the exhibition at the town hall
09:23Christmas through the decades
09:26I can get you tickets for that
09:27My stepmum's one of the organisers
09:30I get a family discount
09:31Huh
09:32Margot?
09:34Oh, I'm busy tonight
09:36Something wrong with this
09:45Uh, sorry
09:49Something wrong with it, I think
09:52Hmm
09:53Oh
09:56Margot
10:01Why exactly is the snowman here?
10:05His head's glued on
10:06And he's refusing to go home
10:08Because his new girlfriend's mum and dad are there
10:09Have come down for Christmas to meet him
10:12Oh, I'm worried about giving them the wrong impression
10:14Well, hard not to
10:15When he dressed in a snowman's
10:17And he was smelling a wheelie bin
10:18Fair enough
10:19I don't have the facilities
10:20Oh
10:21As soon as you can, please
10:22Problem?
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 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
10:38But they haven't got anyone free
10:39I mean, I've made it as comfortable for him as I can in there
10:43The odd thing was
10:45This is the only thing he had with him
10:48Weird
10:51David, is it?
10:58David
10:58We're just a little bit confused
11:02About why you have a photograph of me in your pocket
11:05Did I?
11:10You don't recall why?
11:15Take time
11:16Have we ever met?
11:23I need to find my sister
11:25Your sister?
11:26Is that why you're here?
11:28Louise
11:28That's her name
11:29Can you help me?
11:36We can try
11:37Do you and your sister live together?
11:39Do you?
11:39Do you?
11:39Do you?
11:39Do you?
11:40Do you?
11:40Do you?
11:40Do you?
11:40Do you?
11:41Do you?
11:41Do you?
11:42Do you?
11:42Do you?
11:43Do you?
11:43Do you?
11:44And it's Christmas, you see
11:50I really need to find her
11:54Where do you and your sister live, David?
11:57Is there an address you can give us?
11:59I'm sorry
12:06I'm not being much help, am I?
12:09Do you live in Shipton Abbott?
12:11I really need to find her
12:17Well, it's all right
12:18Okay, don't upset yourself
12:20We'll work it out
12:21It would help if we had a full name
12:24David
12:26I...
12:27I'll write it down, shall I?
12:36Can you, um, can you spell it for me?
12:40David
12:42H
12:43A-L-E-G-O-N
12:46Hilton
12:47Thank you
12:51And there was nothing else in his pockets at all
12:54Er, a bit of loose change
12:56No wallet, no credit cards, no phone, nothing
12:58Why would a complete stranger, someone I've never met before, be sitting on the station doorstep with a photograph of me in his pocket?
13:07Do you recognise the photo? Where it was taken, when?
13:10No, but it has to be key
13:12Maybe it's on social media somewhere? Something Martha or Anne posted? I could look online
13:18Yes, er, do that
13:19In the meantime, let's, er, start with the search, a five-mile radius
13:23We're looking for a brother and sister living together, David and Louise Hilton
13:27Try care homes and sheltered housing first
13:29Right
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
14:04It's always been the same for us, all through the IVF and the fostering
14:09The worry lurking under the surface that we needed something else to be happy
14:16That we might not be enough for each other on our own
14:21And this is the best way I could think of to show him that all I ever need is him
14:26Standing next to me
14:28Standing next to me, holding my hand
14:31This is the best Christmas surprise ever
14:36It will be if we all do our part
14:38So, all the boxes are in the kitchen
14:40You need to get them there by four
14:42Put the closed early sign up outside before you go
14:44Okay
14:45Mum, you need to be at the train station by 2.30
14:48This 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? Where?
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, put two morons together
15:27What'd you get?
15:28Surprise, it's another moron
15:30Er, you were at home when the alarm company called to say there had been a break-in?
15:34No, I was at Friends in Palmeron
15:36What time?
15:37About 1.30
15:39It's quite late to go visiting
15:41Well, we're having a party
15:42I said I'd join them when the bar are closed
15:44You can see the door's been jimmied open
15:47Er, yes
15:49Can I ask what was taken?
15:51I asked you to go to the bank this morning
15:53So this week's taking so far
15:55The float, I haven't tidied it all up
15:57But I reckon
15:59North of 10,000
16:01A lot of cash?
16:02It is Christmas
16:03People throw in for the bills
16:05So we get more cash than usual
16:06Can we see inside?
16:08Yeah
16:09Is there damage anywhere else?
16:10No
16:11Office?
16:12No
16:13Then where do they take the cash from?
16:14From the drawer under the till
16:15Is it usual to keep that amount of money in the bar overnight?
16:19Can be
16:20Depends on when I can get to the bank
16:21Water?
16:22But they're wine bottles
16:23I guess someone spilled water on the bar
16:25No
16:26No
16:27Is that Robert's charity tips
16:28No
16:29Is that Robert's charity tips?
16:30No
16:31Is that Robert's charity tips?
16:32Yeah
16:33Yeah
16:34Is this going to take long?
16:35We're nearly done
16:36Only I need to get this cleaned up so I can open
16:37Can I ask?
16:38Who else would have known you had cash here overnight?
16:39No one
16:40No one
16:41No way
16:42Robert
16:43Robert
16:44Robert knew
16:45I remember him yesterday asking me if I'd been to the bank or not
16:46Oh
16:47No
16:48No
16:49Is that Robert's charity tips?
16:50I don't know
16:51No
16:52No
16:53No
16:54No
16:55No
16:56No
16:57No
16:58No
16:59No
17:00No
17:01No
17:02No
17:03No
17:04No
17:05No
17:06No
17:07No
17:08No
17:09No
17:10No
17:11No
17:12No
17:13No
17:13No
17:15No
17:16I 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
17:31and check on his party in Polmarin too.
17:35Sir?
17:36There we are, my love.
17:50A nice, fresh cup of tea.
18:06OK, thanks. Bye.
18:26OK.
18:27So I spoke to Terry Finch's friend in Polmarin.
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.
18:39He took a cab back to the wine bar because he'd had a drink.
18:42I've confirmed to the cab company that they picked him up in Polmarin
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.
18:59You'd think I'd be asking for unicorn poo.
19:02I had 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.
19:26He hired it.
19:27He can't...
19:28He's got a £100 deposit against any damage.
19:31Well, hurry up.
19:34Kelby, can you check CCTV from the high street last night,
19:38say between 12 and 2 a.m.?
19:40Sir, what am I looking for?
19:42Ah, well, this is anyone in the vicinity of Fisher's Wine Bar
19:45at 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,
20:01plus the contents of Robert's charity job.
20:03There was a big sticker on it, too,
20:05saying it was for charity.
20:07And that Christmas.
20:08God, that's well bad.
20:09Any 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,
20:32care homes, sheltered 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?
20:50No.
20:52He'll start fretting,
20:53and 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.
21:05How can one person be on the phone so much?
21:10Every time I call her, she's engaged.
21:11Maybe.
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.
21:27That'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,
21:54home 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.
22:13Laura's your wife?
22:14Yeah, yeah.
22:15Hey, um, is 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.
22:47Um, just routine questions.
22:50Oh.
22:50Can 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.
23:04Er, you didn't notice anything out of the ordinary?
23:06No.
23:07No, no, 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 in the bar.
23:19I put the, er, thank you.
23:21I put the empties in the bottle crate to 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?
23:35Nope.
23:36It was pretty quiet.
23:39Oh, no, hold on.
23:41There was this lunatic in a snowman suit.
23:45Yeah.
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, cos you'll lose its deposit.
24:00It's a...
24:00Fine.
24:03So, you were at a party?
24:04Yeah.
24:05I 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, you walked through the alley,
24:14behind 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.
24:25Right, what time?
24:26Oh, maybe just before midnight.
24:29Oh, and then there was this bunch of kids.
24:31Kids?
24:32Yeah.
24:32About ten of them.
24:33On bikes.
24:34All started taking the mick, obviously.
24:37How old?
24:38Don't know.
24:39Fifteen?
24:40Sixteen?
24:41Anyways, they all start pushing me around.
24:44And 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?
25:03This 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.
25:11Do you remember?
25:12They cleared them while we were there.
25:14So?
25:15So.
25:15So.
25:19So surely that must mean the 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.
25:33The eagle has landed.
25:59It's ham and cheese.
26:12It's ham and cheese.
26:16If you don't like it, we can swap it for something else.
26:21No rush.
26:22Just let me know.
26:24Have you found Louise?
26:24No, 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.
26:56It'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.
27:06It's definitely the same image.
27:08OK, 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.
27:16All steady.
27:16You got my skin there.
27:18Everyone, 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.
27:47Oh, sorry.
27:49OK.
27:50You all right?
27:52I've sent an information request to Tavistock police
27:55and the town council.
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.
28:08No 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.
28:17No, this wasn't teenagers.
28:20I think this was someone who knew the cash was there
28:23and where it was.
28:25Robert?
28:26Robert?
28:26So 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, we 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, so 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...
29:00There's no buts.
29:01That boy goes to the children's ward every Christmas morning
29:05to take them presents.
29:06Do you really think he'd steal his own charity money?
29:09And 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, not 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?
29:50He won't.
29:51He'll love it.
29:52You think?
29:53I know.
29:55All right.
29:56All right, better go and check on our guest.
30:04Sir?
30:06Tavistock police.
30:07No missing person reports in the past week.
30:09Okay, but I still think we're in the right area, so, um...
30:13Try GP surgeries next, uh, social services.
30:16See if any of them have a patient called David or Louise Hayleton.
30:19Sir.
30:19I'm sorry I shouted.
30:33I'm sorry I shouted.
30:37I was a bit cross.
30:41That's perfectly understandable.
30:42But I stand by what I said.
30:44But I stand by what I said.
30:45My Bobby isn't a thief.
30:46So, Kelby, did you get your snowman home?
30:58Seb?
30:59Yeah.
31:00Got to meet his new girlfriend's parents.
31:02Yeah, and they didn't suspect a thing.
31:04Well, he did have a rash across his neck.
31:07But he said it was only because he was nervous to meet him.
31:11Smooth.
31:12Hmm.
31:13Heat 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.
31:24Water.
31:25Water.
31:26Ice!
31:27That's it.
31:28Melting ice.
31:29Explain.
31:30An empty crisp packet.
31:31What?
31:32Oh, no.
31:33Sorry.
31:34If this splinter of wood was found underneath the bags of rubbish at the back of Fisher's
31:43Wine Bar, then the door must have been forced open before they were put out by Terry Finch
31:48shortly before midnight.
31:56Except that's not possible, because we know the break-in was an hour and a half later.
32:00What if it wasn't?
32:02What if everything was just set up to look like a break-in?
32:08By whom?
32:09Terry Finch.
32:10Yes!
32:11Sorry.
32:13But if Finch set all this up himself, how 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, Ice Ice Baby Ice, remember the pool of water
32:32on the bar.
32:33What about it?
32:34I thought it was all at the time.
32:35It was wine bottles that were broken, so how could it be water?
32:40Robert told us he wiped down the bar before he left, and he also said he emptied the bin
32:46behind the bar.
32:47Yet, it had a plastic bag in it.
32:55Okay, now you're losing me.
32:57I saw a similar bag at the Christmas party.
33:01Sorry.
33:02But you'd expect to see a bag used for ice behind a bar, wouldn't you?
33:10Yes, but if Robert emptied the bin as he said, and I have no reason to doubt him, then why
33:16was it there in the morning?
33:19Good night.
33:22This is what I think happened.
33:23I had to carry you tonight.
33:25Right, sorry.
33:26Pull your finger out or else I'm going to have to get someone else.
33:28Don't say that.
33:29Mr. Finch, no, no, no.
33:30You know I need this job.
33:31Well, maybe you should be thinking more about your kids and less about fawning all over
33:35the pond.
33:36It's Christmas.
33:37I just wanted everyone to have a good time.
33:38I told you, Christmas is for mugs.
33:41All I'm interested in is how much they spend.
33:43Right, so less chitty-chatting and more serving.
33:46You got it?
33:47Yep, got it.
33:48I think Robert did exactly as he said.
33:49After he cleaned the bar, he emptied the bin.
33:51Leave him, I'll take him out.
33:52Leave him, I'll take him out.
33:53No, no, no, it's fine, I'll take-
33:54Leave him, I'll take him out.
33:55I'll do it myself, like everything else.
33:57Go on, go home.
33:58I'm sick of looking at you.
34:00Night, Mr. Finch.
34:01And once Robert had left, Finch went straight out to the back door.
34:06Which is how this splinter of wood got in the alley before the bags of rubbish?
34:23It's the only thing that fits.
34:25Jingle smells, my soup smells, I feel really sick.
34:30Cheer up, mate, it's Christmas!
34:32Hey!
34:33Oh, what fun it is to watch!
34:37Hey, look at this guy!
34:38Oh, all right, kids!
34:39All right, guys!
34:40Let's chuck him in the bin!
34:45There was no damage anywhere else.
34:46No sign of anyone searching the office.
34:48So our thief had to know where the money was.
34:51But this, this was the clever bit.
35:08Ice defrost at a predetermined pace.
35:11And therefore, it makes a perfect time delay switch.
35:16So as the ice melts, the bottles will fall.
35:21Setting off the alarm?
35:22Precisely.
35:23That, you know.
35:25Precisely.
35:28...
35:33...
35:38...
35:42...
35:43Oh, my God.
36:13By the time Terry Finch arrived at the wine bar, police were already there and had found the broken back 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 the bin.
36:43But 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.
37:10Oh, they'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 up.
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, and 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.
38:10This is Esther.
38:13He's your dad, is he?
38:14We've been going out of our minds all day.
38:16I'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.
38:27Dad, we need to get you home.
38:29Everyone'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.
38:37Not at all.
38:39Can I just ask?
38:41He had a photograph of me in his pocket.
38:46You 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.
39:00You're all right, Dad.
39:05You're all right.
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,
39:15but circumstances changed and they were split up.
39:17Come, ye faithful, joyful and joyful and joyful.
39:27He tried to look for her over the years,
39:50but just hit one dead end after another.
39:53So he just sort of locked it away and got on with his life.
39:58It just became that unspoken thing.
40:03And then he started to get ill
40:04and he was diagnosed as having dementia.
40:07And 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.
40:25So, we decided to try again.
40:29We hit the same dead ends as before,
40:32but this time we found her.
40:34Dad was so excited.
40:35We traced her to Gloucester,
40:38where she was adopted by a couple on Christmas Eve in 1968.
40:41They changed her name to theirs,
40:43so she became Louise Briggs.
40:45But then she moved away.
40:47And we lost all track of her.
40:50Then, the people who bought her old house in Gloucester
40:53found an old bank statement
40:54dated from around the time she moved away,
40:56but it showed that she made a withdrawal
40:58from 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.
41:10So, 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
41:19and thought you looked like a decent chap,
41:20so he was going to call you and ask if you could help.
41:23He can't remember what he had for breakfast.
41:28But he can tell you what song was on the radio
41:30the 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.
41:43OK, everyone, let's run a check on the name Louise Briggs.
41:52Town halls, social services, PNC,
41:55any other databanks you can get into,
41:57local HMRC, passport office, DVLA.
42:01Look into local clubs and organisations.
42:03She must be drawing a pension by now,
42:05see if that gives us anything.
42:06Sir.
42:08Should we be making these kinds of checks?
42:10Yes, we should, Sergeant, for two very good reasons.
42:14Firstly, it's a missing persons investigation.
42:16Even though they're not missing anyone?
42:18Technically, yes.
42:19And the second?
42:21It's Christmas.
42:23Oh, Martha called.
42:25She said she's at the winery ordering stock.
42:27Can you pick her up from there?
42:28And don't be late.
42:30What time's it now?
42:31It's 4.35.
42:32You've got 25 minutes.
42:34OK, quick as you can, everyone.
42:40Hey, Elton.
42:53H-A-L-E-T-O-N.
42:56Although that's her original name,
42:57she went on to become Louise Briggs.
42:59Have we got anything else listed under the name Louise Briggs?
43:03No, that's all the information we have.
43:05Could we cross-reference her date of birth against anything else?
43:08All we know for sure is she left Gloucester around four years ago
43:11and we think came to ship the nabbit,
43:13or at least somewhere in this area.
43:16OK, let me see if I can find that.
43:18I'll come back to you.
43:21They need a national insurance number.
43:23You'd better go.
43:24Five more minutes.
43:25OK, well, thanks for trying.
43:27Bye.
43:29Nothing.
43:29Say again?
43:32But her adopted name was definitely Louise Briggs.
43:37Well, is there an address on the records?
43:41If you would.
43:43You got my number.
43:45OK, thanks, Jess.
43:49There was Louise Briggs married in patent registry office four years ago.
43:53She declared her former name as Hilton.
43:56So it's her.
43:57It has to be.
43:57Her married name is Branner,
43:59but they couldn't see an address for her.
44:01They're checking, but, you know,
44:03they can't guarantee it'll be today.
44:05Branner.
44:06I've heard that somewhere.
44:08Yeah.
44:11Seb, the snowman.
44:13Oh.
44:14Yeah.
44:14Of course.
44:16You go.
44:17We'll do this.
44:18Oh, no, I...
44:19Oh.
44:22Right.
44:23Let's call Seb.
44:23Come on through.
44:34She should be around here somewhere.
44:37Ah.
44:38Hello, love.
44:39All right, Lou.
44:39Guys, this is my step-ma'am.
44:42Uh, Louise, uh, this is Esther and Margot.
44:45Hi.
44:46Louise, we're from Shipton Abbot Police.
44:48It's nothing to worry about.
44:49Gonna let Margot take the lead on this one.
44:52Um, Louise, we believe you had an older brother.
44:55I don't know.
44:56No, you were in the separation.
44:58Here we are.
44:59Well, we found it.
45:01Oh.
45:11I'm here.
45:28Hi.
45:30You're late.
45:33What's going on?
45:35We're getting married.
45:36What?
45:37Come on.
45:41He's here.
45:45Ah.
45:47Oh, good Lord.
45:49You mean we're really getting married?
45:51Just 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?
45:58Yes, of course I do.
46:01I mean, why the big secret?
46:04Because whenever we've planned it properly, it's always gone wrong.
46:07And so I just thought I'd sneak up on you.
46:12Because after Rosie left, I wanted to show you that as hard as it was losing her, it was kind of all right because I still had you.
46:23And you're enough.
46:26Sorry.
46:31Shall we get married then?
46:32Yes, please.
46:33You'll need to change.
46:39And I nearly forgot.
46:41Mm-hmm.
46:42I found you a best man, too.
46:45Ah, crikey.
46:48Commissioner.
46:49Nice of you to join us, Inspector Goodman.
46:58He's here.
46:58Yeah.
46:59Yeah.
46:59Yeah.
47:00Yeah.
47:01Yeah.
47:02Hey, do you want to take over?
47:11Dad.
47:13Look over there.
47:16It's Louise.
47:30David.
47:31David.
47:32I can't believe you come all this way just for me.
47:56I didn't.
47:59Oh.
48:01Well, I was in the UK anyway, visiting my daughter.
48:04This was a happy coincidence.
48:07Even so.
48:09Thank you, sir.
48:10Mm-hmm.
48:11Well, should I call you Selwyn?
48:13No.
48:15Of course.
48:15I can.
48:18I can't believe you.
48:27If I promise this is what I'll do.
48:30Will you love me like I do you If I hold you when the world is grey
48:42If you're trying to play
48:46Wait!
48:48Wait!
48:50It's in time.
48:52Okay.
48:54Will you love me like I do you
49:00So, we're here today to witness the marriage of Humphrey and Martha, who are not so much starting a new life together, but confirming their commitment to each other.
49:12Do you remember our house?
49:16My bedroom is next to your bedroom.
49:20That's right.
49:22To cherish and respect each other throughout our lives together.
49:31Humphrey.
49:32Pardon?
49:33I give you this ring.
49:35Oh yes, um...
49:38What is it?
49:42Just don't talk amongst yourself.
49:44Ah, got it, got it.
49:48Phew.
49:49Sorry?
49:50I give you this ring, as a symbol of our love, trust and marriage.
49:56I give you this ring, as a symbol of our love, trust and marriage.
50:04I promise to care for you above all others.
50:08And to give you my love, friendship and support.
50:12I promise to care for you above all others.
50:16And to give you my love, friendship and support.
50:22What?
50:23Other finger.
50:24Other finger.
50:25Other finger.
50:26No, the ring.
50:28The other finger.
50:29Oh.
50:30All right.
50:31Oh, sorry, Connie.
50:35Yeah.
50:36Other finger.
50:37Yeah.
50:38And to respect and cherish you throughout our lives together.
50:41And now, a short reading from the best man, Selwyn.
50:55Who is to say what love is?
50:59From the fluttering heart that sees a face long missed.
51:05To the tearful, breathless wrench of a love only ever found in the moment.
51:12Or a love that speaks of blood shared.
51:23Of a bond that can't be broken.
51:30Of a light that can never be dimmed by adversity.
51:38Who is to say what love is?
51:42Because love seeks no favor.
51:46Nor does it seek permission.
51:53It seeks no title.
51:56No praise or reward.
51:59Love simply is.
52:04Love never blames.
52:07Always forgives.
52:08And cannot be diminished by distance.
52:13Or weakened by time.
52:18Love is what is left.
52:21When everything else deserts you.
52:25Who is to say what love is?
52:28Only you.
52:29Love is.
52:30Only you.
52:32Because.
52:33Only you.
52:34Know.
52:38At which point, having declared their vows to each other.
52:41And through the exchanging of rings.
52:43I can very happily declare.
52:45That Humphrey and Martha.
52:47Are now husband.
52:48And wife.
52:49And wife.
52:53Ah, congratulations.
52:54Archie.
52:56This is perfect.
52:57Worth all the skullduggery.
52:58Definitely.
52:59All those clandestine meetings.
53:00Was a bit like being back in the old days.
53:01Stop.
53:02I'm a married woman.
53:03And I couldn't be happier for you.
53:05It's such a shame he can't find someone.
53:10I mean, he's handsome, rich, generous to a fruit.
53:14meetings was a bit like being back in the old days. Stop. I'm a married woman. And I couldn't
53:19be happier for you. It's such a shame he can't find someone. I mean, he's handsome, rich,
53:33generous to a fruit, even makes his own wine. I mean, there should be a queue around the building.
53:38Though I have to admit that your clumsy, annoying, socially awkward, yet quite delightful
53:47beanpole for a new husband is quite a catch, too. Yes, he is.
53:56Oh, Inspector, we were just comparing notes. That's mildly terrifying. It seems you've brought
54:01all your annoying traits with you from the Caribbean, but also your brilliance.
54:05Congratulations. Thank you, Mum. Commissioner? It was my pleasure.
54:16Thank you for being here. And your reading was quite beautiful. I'm not entirely sure how
54:24you managed to convince her to marry you. You're a very lucky man. Yes, I am.
54:32Oh, excuse me. Of course. Inspector Wilson. Oh. David and her sister, how'd it go?
54:42Uh, we found her. She agreed to meet him. They're together now. It was amazing.
54:48So she was related to serve the snowman? Yes, she was his stepmom.
54:53Congratulations, everyone. Well done. You're amazing.
54:55Yeah, we are. I think we should reward ourselves with another drink. Oh, yes. Good idea.
55:01Come on, sir. Um, just a minute.
55:07Everything OK, sir?
55:08Mm. That was the new inspector. He's working on a case in St. Marie. Well, there seems to
55:15be links to the UK which you would like me to look into while I'm here.
55:19Sorry, Selwyn. Can I steal my husband? Meet my guest. Thank you, sir. Thank you.
55:29Thank you. All right? OK.
55:31Have a look at the cake.
55:32Oh, shoot.
55:34Any excuse?
55:36Excuse me?
55:37Yeah.
55:38To stand next to me.
55:40What did you do? Pour it into a pot plant?
55:42You wish.
55:44Oh, really?
55:45Yeah.
55:45One, two, two, one, two. Yeah, that's great.
55:48Maybe I do.
55:51Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. We are bellowheads.
55:54Can't keep running away.
55:57Mum, come on. The band's starting.
56:06Well, we finally did it.
56:10Sorry, that was.
56:12Yes, we did.
56:14Happy?
56:15Very.
56:16Actually, it doesn't matter if you are or not. There's no escape now. You're stuck with
56:20me.
56:21It's the only place I've ever wanted to be.
56:24Merry Christmas, Mrs. Goodman.
56:26Merry Christmas, Mr. Goodman.
56:32Oi!
56:33You two.
56:34Come on, sir.
56:35Chance.
56:36I want to do it.
56:37Sure, well done.
57:03Well done.
57:03Hey.
57:20Sorry.
57:20Oh, my God.
57:21Congratulations Mr. and Mrs. Goodman.
57:51Congratulations Mr. and Mrs. Goodman.
