0:26:44 > 0:26:46Kissing doesn't...
0:26:46 > 0:26:52There's plenty of people give each other a friendly kiss at Christmas.
0:26:52 > 0:26:54It wasn't that type of kiss.
0:26:54 > 0:26:56Was it a long kiss?
0:26:56 > 0:26:58A short one? A peck on the cheek?
0:26:58 > 0:27:01He had his hand on her breasts.
0:27:05 > 0:27:10If she didn't come home last night, if you had a row,
0:27:10 > 0:27:11she's probably with him.
0:27:11 > 0:27:13I want you to find out where she is.
0:27:13 > 0:27:15I'm not sure that's a good idea.
0:27:19 > 0:27:22- Is this your daughter?- Yes.
0:27:22 > 0:27:24Marlee?
0:27:24 > 0:27:25That's right.
0:27:29 > 0:27:32I don't believe Michelle's doing this.
0:27:33 > 0:27:39Not because... Well, I don't mind what she does to me, but to do this to the kids at Christmas.
0:27:42 > 0:27:47Could you get hold of her and just ask her to speak to the kids?
0:27:47 > 0:27:49Just to think about the kids?
0:28:08 > 0:28:11Hello?
0:28:28 > 0:28:30Mr Hunter?
0:28:32 > 0:28:33I've been trying to call you.
0:28:33 > 0:28:35She's not... Is your mobile off?
0:28:35 > 0:28:37I've been in hospital, visiting.
0:28:37 > 0:28:40- Oh, dear, is it anyone...?- No.
0:28:40 > 0:28:41Where is she?
0:28:41 > 0:28:45- She said for me to come in today.- No. No, she's gone away for a wee bit.
0:28:45 > 0:28:48She didn't call. She always calls.
0:28:48 > 0:28:51Well, your mobile's been off.
0:28:51 > 0:28:53She didn't leave a message. Where's she gone?
0:28:53 > 0:28:56She going to be away for Christmas?
0:28:56 > 0:28:59Well, maybe. We don't...
0:29:00 > 0:29:03You know she's got an aunt in the family who's ill?
0:29:03 > 0:29:07She lives on her own in South Queensferry.
0:29:07 > 0:29:11- An aunt?- Aye, she drove down there last night.
0:29:11 > 0:29:13So, we're not going to need you for...
0:29:13 > 0:29:18Well, I suppose we won't be needing you until after Christmas, OK?
0:29:20 > 0:29:22Yeah.
0:29:40 > 0:29:44'This is Dr Joanna Hunter. Please leave a message after the beep.'
0:29:53 > 0:29:55Jackson?
0:29:55 > 0:29:57Grapes. Why do people always bring grapes?
0:29:57 > 0:30:01You can go a year without eating grapes. Bananas are better for you.
0:30:01 > 0:30:05- Hello.- Hey. Sorry, there was a guy here in this...
0:30:05 > 0:30:07Yes, he checked himself out.
0:30:07 > 0:30:09- Right.- I told him not to.
0:30:09 > 0:30:12He'd no idea he was expecting such an attractive visitor.
0:30:12 > 0:30:15He's just a colleague from the police.
0:30:15 > 0:30:17- That's where you work? - Aye, indeed.
0:30:17 > 0:30:19Good.
0:30:46 > 0:30:48TYPING
0:30:55 > 0:30:56Oh.
0:30:57 > 0:30:59Ah.
0:30:59 > 0:31:03The fragrant Mrs Moore.
0:31:03 > 0:31:08Now, where's the chap that was grabbing you?
0:31:08 > 0:31:10Hm.
0:31:10 > 0:31:12Hello, old boy.
0:31:12 > 0:31:14Dougal.
0:31:14 > 0:31:16Oh!
0:31:18 > 0:31:19HE YAWNS
0:31:21 > 0:31:23Ah!
0:31:23 > 0:31:27DOORBELL RINGING
0:31:30 > 0:31:35- Morgan Freeman.- No, you're Morgan Freeman. I'm Kevin Costner.
0:31:35 > 0:31:37How did you get my address, Mr Costner?
0:31:38 > 0:31:41I found this postcard in your old clothes
0:31:41 > 0:31:44when I was throwing them away. What's Marlee doing in New Zealand?
0:31:44 > 0:31:47- She on holiday? - Mind you own bloody business.
0:31:47 > 0:31:51You didn't happen to see my wallet when you went through my pockets?
0:31:51 > 0:31:55I told you in hospital, I'm not a thief. I'm a nanny.
0:31:55 > 0:31:57Well, I was at school.
0:31:57 > 0:31:59I'm still studying. I want to go to university.
0:31:59 > 0:32:03I'm a nanny now, though, as a sort of temporary narrow definition.
0:32:03 > 0:32:06- Dr Hunter doesn't like the word. - Don't feel responsible for me.
0:32:06 > 0:32:10I don't. You're responsible for me. I'm Kevin Costner.
0:32:13 > 0:32:18- Is that the only film you've seen? - I'm more of a reader. I read widely.
0:32:22 > 0:32:24You're a private detective, right?
0:32:24 > 0:32:27- You find people? - Some I find, some I lose.
0:32:27 > 0:32:30I'm worried about Dr Hunter and her baby, Gabriel.
0:32:30 > 0:32:34Mr Hunter says she's at a sick aunt's, but that's crap
0:32:34 > 0:32:38because Dr Hunter told me loads of times she doesn't have any family.
0:32:38 > 0:32:40- I don't know where she's gone. - What's your name?
0:32:40 > 0:32:42Reggie.
0:32:42 > 0:32:45Well, Regina. But if you say to someone your name's Regina,
0:32:45 > 0:32:49they tend to say, "Wow, that rhymes with vagina!" Which it does, but...
0:32:49 > 0:32:53We should start with the aunt, in South Queensferry.
0:32:53 > 0:32:54Who is Dr Hunter?
0:32:54 > 0:32:56Joanna Hunter.
0:32:56 > 0:32:59My friend. My boss.
0:32:59 > 0:33:02Gabriel's mother. Mr Hunter's wife.
0:33:07 > 0:33:09When did you last see her?
0:33:09 > 0:33:12Gabriel's first birthday.
0:33:12 > 0:33:15And how was she then?
0:33:15 > 0:33:19A little bit sad.
0:33:19 > 0:33:21Pensive.
0:33:21 > 0:33:23Wistful.
0:33:25 > 0:33:26BABY LAUGHING
0:33:28 > 0:33:32Imagine eating ice-cream for the first time, Reggie.
0:33:32 > 0:33:35All right, mister. what have we got for you?
0:33:35 > 0:33:37One.
0:33:37 > 0:33:42That's it. Gabriel will never be a baby again.
0:33:42 > 0:33:43Where's his da?
0:33:43 > 0:33:47Oh, I don't know. Performing some service to the leisure industry.
0:33:47 > 0:33:50But it's Gabriel's first birthday.
0:33:50 > 0:33:53Are you not furious? Are you not incandescent?
0:33:55 > 0:33:58Why should I be? It's better that he's not here.
0:34:01 > 0:34:05Oh, it's not too cold, is it?
0:34:05 > 0:34:08- Are they not close, her and her husband?- Indifferent, I would say.
0:34:09 > 0:34:11And do they fight?
0:34:11 > 0:34:16No, she basically ignores him. Lets him do his stuff.
0:34:16 > 0:34:20She once told me she was happiest when Gabriel was inside her belly.
0:34:20 > 0:34:23She didn't even tell him if Gabriel was a boy or girl.
0:34:24 > 0:34:26- Does he mind?- No.
0:34:26 > 0:34:29He's always busy.
0:34:29 > 0:34:34He's something to do with amusements or hotels.
0:34:34 > 0:34:36I can't tell you categorically.
0:34:36 > 0:34:39He's nearly always on the phone. Running propositions by people.
0:34:39 > 0:34:42Facilitating idea showers.
0:34:42 > 0:34:46- It's not up to me to take the piss out of someone's idiom, is it? - Reggie...
0:34:47 > 0:34:49What are you telling me?
0:34:49 > 0:34:53- Their marriage isn't great, but that happens.- Yeah, but there's more.
0:34:53 > 0:34:56You didn't see her when she was on her way to work.
0:34:56 > 0:34:59Reggie, do you think you can make people do things
0:34:59 > 0:35:02- that they don't want to do? - Yeah, course you can.
0:35:02 > 0:35:05But if somebody asked you to harm yourself, would you do it?
0:35:05 > 0:35:08No. Why would anybody do that?
0:35:08 > 0:35:11Ah, well, life can be very complicated, Reggie.
0:35:11 > 0:35:17There's no template, no pattern that we're supposed to follow.
0:35:17 > 0:35:19We just...
0:35:19 > 0:35:22make it up as we go along.
0:35:22 > 0:35:23Oh.
0:35:26 > 0:35:30He loves that, doesn't he, eh? The wee dog.
0:35:31 > 0:35:36"Knowing that when light is gone, love remains for shining."
0:35:36 > 0:35:40Isn't that lovely? Elizabeth Barrett Browning wrote that for her dog.
0:35:40 > 0:35:41Oh.
0:35:41 > 0:35:43CROW CALLING
0:35:43 > 0:35:46WINGS FLUTTERING
0:35:51 > 0:35:53Come on, shall we?
0:35:53 > 0:35:54Come on, wee man.
0:35:57 > 0:35:59You think somebody's trying to hurt her?
0:35:59 > 0:36:04Or make her hurt herself, maybe.
0:36:04 > 0:36:07- She was scared, I think. - Was she often scared?
0:36:07 > 0:36:10No and she'd never go away.
0:36:10 > 0:36:14- Not without saying. Not to me. - Well, she's just your boss.
0:36:14 > 0:36:15She's my friend.
0:36:15 > 0:36:19She's gone, doesn't answer her mobile, left the baby's comforter.
0:36:19 > 0:36:22She'd never leave that. He'd scream and scream.
0:36:22 > 0:36:24You have to help me.
0:36:30 > 0:36:31Fine,
0:36:31 > 0:36:32I'll see what I can do.
0:36:32 > 0:36:34Tomorrow.
0:36:56 > 0:36:58ELECTRONIC BEEP
0:37:36 > 0:37:38Go on!
0:37:52 > 0:37:56- Hello, Michelle. My name's Jackson Brodie.- Yeah?
0:37:56 > 0:37:58I'm a private investigator.
0:37:58 > 0:37:59Arrgh! Ah!
0:38:04 > 0:38:08He called me last night. Told me he knew exactly what I was up to.
0:38:08 > 0:38:13- Told me he'd sent someone to watch me.- That'll be me.
0:38:13 > 0:38:16I suppose you were just skulking in the bushes, taking photos?
0:38:16 > 0:38:20- Pretty much.- Not a very nice way to make a living, is it?
0:38:20 > 0:38:23There are worse ways and there are better.
0:38:23 > 0:38:27Well, that was the last straw.
0:38:27 > 0:38:30I'm not staying with a man that sends a private detective after me.
0:38:30 > 0:38:34- The basis of a marriage is trust. - You are having an affair, aren't you?
0:38:36 > 0:38:39Gary doesn't give me space. I need space.
0:38:39 > 0:38:42He gets that Presbyterian look in his eye, and it's like...
0:38:42 > 0:38:45He wouldn't even let me phone my friends after we got married.
0:38:45 > 0:38:48If I want to go out, even just pilates or something
0:38:48 > 0:38:51like that, it becomes... Look, all I want
0:38:51 > 0:38:53is a wee bit of fresh air.
0:38:53 > 0:38:56Just someone to make me feel good. Someone that's not...
0:38:56 > 0:38:59Whatever. Why don't you just tell him you're safe?
0:38:59 > 0:39:01Because he won't take it. He'll come after me.
0:39:01 > 0:39:05I can't face it. Look, all I want is a few days peace.
0:39:06 > 0:39:10- Just a bollocks-free Christmas for a change.- What about the kids?
0:39:10 > 0:39:11What kids?
0:39:11 > 0:39:14I think the kids deserve to know you're all right.
0:39:14 > 0:39:15We haven't got kids.
0:39:17 > 0:39:20Did he tell you that we've got kids?
0:39:21 > 0:39:24Right. I'll tell him you're safe.
0:39:24 > 0:39:28- No, don't tell him anything. - I won't tell him anything, I'm done.
0:39:28 > 0:39:31You enjoy your Christmas.
0:39:31 > 0:39:35You won't see me again.
0:40:00 > 0:40:03ANSWERPHONE: Hi, this is Reggie.

0:40:10 > 0:40:12BURGLAR ALARM BEEPING
0:40:12 > 0:40:14They're not rich.
0:40:14 > 0:40:17Dr H got an inheritance and used it all
0:40:17 > 0:40:19to buy this heinously expensive place.
0:40:19 > 0:40:24- Her words. She uses a lot of good words. Like atavistic.- Reggie.
0:40:24 > 0:40:28- What?- Could you just talk less, please?
0:40:28 > 0:40:30I've got a head injury.
0:40:32 > 0:40:34Kitchen.
0:40:42 > 0:40:45Told you. The wee doggy. They'd never leave without it.
0:40:47 > 0:40:50Right. You go upstairs and see if she's packed any clothes,
0:40:50 > 0:40:53- contact lenses or anything. - What are you going to do?
0:40:53 > 0:40:56Never mind about me.
0:40:57 > 0:40:59OK.
0:42:05 > 0:42:09Jackson? Jackson!
0:42:09 > 0:42:11She's still wearing her suit.
0:42:11 > 0:42:14She has three identical suits for work. There's only two.
0:42:14 > 0:42:17As soon as she gets home, she's out of the suit.
0:42:17 > 0:42:19Means she's still wearing it, hasn't been home.
0:42:19 > 0:42:21Means she hasn't been home since!
0:42:23 > 0:42:27- Do you know her maiden name?- No. Why? - We could look up her aunt.
0:42:27 > 0:42:30There isn't an aunt. There is no family.
0:42:33 > 0:42:34Garage?
0:42:41 > 0:42:43It's hers.
0:42:43 > 0:42:45Well, maybe she didn't drive.
0:42:45 > 0:42:48Neil said she did.
0:42:48 > 0:42:51She could have rented a car. The battery might be flat.
0:42:57 > 0:43:00Try it, then.
0:43:08 > 0:43:11ENGINE STARTS
0:43:13 > 0:43:16All right, let's have a quick peak.
0:43:24 > 0:43:26God, no.
0:43:36 > 0:43:39No, nothing.
0:43:39 > 0:43:40CAR APPROACHING
0:43:47 > 0:43:50MOBILE PHONE RINGING
0:43:50 > 0:43:52- It's Neil.- Hello?
0:43:52 > 0:43:56- He'll go mad! What do we do? - Tell him you're worried sick.
0:43:56 > 0:43:58You've been up all night.
0:43:58 > 0:44:00Get a name for this aunt. A number, if you can.
0:44:00 > 0:44:04- I'll be outside, don't worry. - OK.
0:44:09 > 0:44:12Urrgh.
0:44:12 > 0:44:13Guh!
0:44:13 > 0:44:15HE VOMITS
0:44:15 > 0:44:18Hi Deborah, it's Louise. There's no one in your office.
0:44:18 > 0:44:21No. I'm doing Christmas shopping and Jackson's on a job.
0:44:21 > 0:44:22But he's OK though, is he?
0:44:22 > 0:44:26- Spiritually or bodily? - Bodily.
0:44:26 > 0:44:28Cuts and bruises. He's fine.
0:44:28 > 0:44:32Bodily, more than OK, if you like that sort of thing.
0:44:32 > 0:44:35Yeah, well he's not at home and he's not answering his phone.
0:44:35 > 0:44:37He lost it in the accident.
0:44:37 > 0:44:41Well, could you get him to give me a ring when he gets in please?
0:44:41 > 0:44:42OK.
0:44:42 > 0:44:43Bloody idiot.
0:44:43 > 0:44:45- You said it.- Cheers.
0:45:04 > 0:45:06Christ, I'm bleeding to death here.
0:45:06 > 0:45:08Have you any idea how hard I've worked?
0:45:08 > 0:45:11Look, Mark, I'm begging you.
0:45:11 > 0:45:14What the hell are you doing here?
0:45:16 > 0:45:18Mark?
0:45:18 > 0:45:20Mark?
0:45:20 > 0:45:21Fuck!
0:45:23 > 0:45:26Look, I've told you they're not here! You're not needed.
0:45:26 > 0:45:29What are you doing? I've a good mind to take that key away.
0:45:33 > 0:45:35Reggie, I'm sorry.
0:45:37 > 0:45:39Bad day at black rock, you know?
0:45:42 > 0:45:45Don't tell Jo you saw me smoking, I'll not hear the end of it.
0:45:45 > 0:45:47I was just wondering if they were back yet?
0:45:47 > 0:45:49Like I said, I'll let you know.
0:45:49 > 0:45:52Yeah.
0:45:52 > 0:45:57But, the thing is, it's the third week of the month and she hasn't paid me yet.
0:45:57 > 0:45:59Oh right. Sorry, Reggie, I didn't know.
0:46:01 > 0:46:04I don't know what Jo gives you.
0:46:04 > 0:46:09Yeah, this... This aunt.
0:46:09 > 0:46:12Maternal or paternal? Is she on her mum's side or her dad's?
0:46:12 > 0:46:18It's Agnes Barker in South Queensferry, Your Honour.
0:46:18 > 0:46:19Have you got a number?
0:46:19 > 0:46:23- OK?- Yeah.
0:46:25 > 0:46:28I'll see you when she gets back.
0:46:50 > 0:46:52What are you doing?
0:46:52 > 0:46:54- Are you OK?- I'm fine.
0:46:55 > 0:46:59We need to borrow a car. Shall we hire one? He just gave me some cash.
0:46:59 > 0:47:01Did you not get a number?
0:47:01 > 0:47:04No. Agnes Barker, that's the name of the aunt.
0:47:04 > 0:47:07There can't be many Agnes Barkers in South Queensferry.
0:47:07 > 0:47:08Maybe he was telling the truth, but...
0:47:08 > 0:47:12Well, she did always tell me that she didn't have any family.
0:47:12 > 0:47:16And suppose it's just an aunt, maybe she's not genetically related.
0:47:16 > 0:47:18Maybe she's just married to an uncle or...
0:47:18 > 0:47:20Listen, we can't rent a car.
0:47:20 > 0:47:22My licence was in my wallet.
0:47:22 > 0:47:24We got Andrew Jones'.
0:47:26 > 0:47:28Great.
0:47:56 > 0:47:58You're joking!
0:47:58 > 0:48:03What do you think this is, Antiques Roadshow? You could be anyone.
0:48:03 > 0:48:06I'm not though. I'm Andrew Jones.
0:48:06 > 0:48:09You look like you're on the run, pal.

0:48:13 > 0:48:15I've lost my wallet.
0:48:15 > 0:48:17I was in an accident.
0:48:17 > 0:48:19What, a car accident?
0:48:19 > 0:48:22There was a Nissan Micra involved, yeah.
0:48:22 > 0:48:24And a train,
0:48:24 > 0:48:26you might have seen it on the news.
0:48:26 > 0:48:29My gran's dying. His mum.
0:48:29 > 0:48:33We want to see her before she passes over.
0:48:33 > 0:48:35You know, if you're telling lies,
0:48:35 > 0:48:38you should really only tell one at a time.
0:48:38 > 0:48:41It's Christmas, Joy.
0:48:44 > 0:48:45Uh, what do I care?
0:48:45 > 0:48:48They handed me my notice yesterday.
0:48:58 > 0:49:00It was a Nissan Micra?
0:49:00 > 0:49:03Yeah.
0:49:03 > 0:49:04I want to make a detour.
0:49:10 > 0:49:11- Where are we going?- Right, right.
0:49:11 > 0:49:14I mean left, left!
0:49:14 > 0:49:15Second, second!
0:49:50 > 0:49:54- Hello, Marcus. - What are you doing here?
0:49:55 > 0:49:58- I'm with her. - Well, what's she doing here?
0:49:58 > 0:50:00Was it her, in the car?
0:50:00 > 0:50:01You know Mrs MacDonald?
0:50:01 > 0:50:03Ms.
0:50:03 > 0:50:05I'm very sorry.
0:50:08 > 0:50:10Are you family?
0:50:12 > 0:50:15I'm a pupil. She was my teacher.
0:50:15 > 0:50:16And you are...?
0:50:16 > 0:50:18Reggie Teague.
0:50:18 > 0:50:21You don't know if she's been depressed lately, do you, Reggie?
0:50:21 > 0:50:25She had a brain tumour the size of a mushroom, you idiot.
0:50:25 > 0:50:27She shouldn't have been driving.
0:50:27 > 0:50:29Because of the tumour?
0:50:29 > 0:50:33No, because she was a bloody awful driver.
0:50:33 > 0:50:36What are you doing? Leave her stuff alone, stop going through that.
0:50:36 > 0:50:39We just need to...
0:50:39 > 0:50:43- You don't know if she had any kids, do you, Reggie?- No.
0:50:43 > 0:50:46She was a spinster and she was an only child.
0:50:46 > 0:50:48We need someone to identify the body.
0:50:48 > 0:50:52Not now, Marcus, use a bit of tact.
0:50:52 > 0:50:54I'll call you later.
0:50:54 > 0:50:56OK.
0:50:57 > 0:50:59OK, Mike, that's us done here.
0:51:04 > 0:51:07You just keep turning up, don't you, Jackson?
0:51:10 > 0:51:13I'm beginning to think you're my nemesis.
0:51:18 > 0:51:22She used to teach me at the posh school.
0:51:22 > 0:51:24She was helping me through my A levels.
0:51:24 > 0:51:27- I have to do them in my spare time. - Why did you leave?
0:51:27 > 0:51:28What?
0:51:28 > 0:51:31School. Why didn't you stay on?
0:51:31 > 0:51:37- Too expensive.- No chance of a scholarship or anything?
0:51:37 > 0:51:39I had a scholarship, but...
0:51:42 > 0:51:44..I had to work.
0:51:51 > 0:51:55Hey...you all right?
0:51:56 > 0:51:59Everyone's dead.
0:51:59 > 0:52:01No they're not. You're not, are you?
0:52:01 > 0:52:03I'm not, thanks to you.
0:52:05 > 0:52:08Come on.
0:52:12 > 0:52:14Dr Hunter better bloody well not be, either.
0:52:27 > 0:52:29It's not exactly a hotbed of crime, is it?
0:52:31 > 0:52:32This is it.
0:52:41 > 0:52:43Here goes.
0:52:48 > 0:52:52- Yes?- Sorry to bother you. Could we have a quick word with Agnes Barker?
0:52:52 > 0:52:54Have you got a Ouija board handy?
0:52:55 > 0:52:57She's dead?
0:52:58 > 0:53:01- And who would you be? - I'm the woman who bought her house.
0:53:01 > 0:53:03What's it to you?
0:53:03 > 0:53:06We're friends of her niece, Joanna Hunter.
0:53:06 > 0:53:08Mrs Barker's been dead for eight months.
0:53:08 > 0:53:11I don't know anything about any niece.
0:53:13 > 0:53:16I told you.
0:53:16 > 0:53:20OK. So either she lied to her husband or her husband lied to you.
0:53:20 > 0:53:21Well, where is she, then?
0:53:21 > 0:53:24- Where is she?- It's all right. It's going to be all right.
0:53:24 > 0:53:28- No, it's not going to be all right, I don't know where she is. - I will find her.
0:53:28 > 0:53:30I promise. It's what I do.
0:53:30 > 0:53:33Come on.
0:53:41 > 0:53:42Oh, bollocks!
0:53:46 > 0:53:49Come on, you perfect, smug faced bitch!
0:53:59 > 0:54:01- Shouldn't be long.- Yes, please.
0:54:08 > 0:54:10- You ever killed anyone on the operating table?- Archie!
0:54:10 > 0:54:12Well, I like to keep it down to one or two a week.
0:54:12 > 0:54:14It depends how pissed I've been the night before.
0:54:14 > 0:54:18So, are you a football or a rugby man, Archie?
0:54:18 > 0:54:21- I hate sport.- Archie's an emo.
0:54:21 > 0:54:23No, I'm not.
0:54:23 > 0:54:25So, what passes for emo nowadays?
0:54:25 > 0:54:28Jawbreaker? Sunny Day Real Estate?
0:54:28 > 0:54:31I saw Sunny Day Real Estate live in San Francisco.
0:54:31 > 0:54:35- Were they good? - Good? They were great.
0:54:35 > 0:54:37How long ago?
0:54:37 > 0:54:38It was about a year ago.
0:54:38 > 0:54:41I was out there working, somebody invited me along.
0:54:41 > 0:54:44I'd never heard of them before, but it was good.
0:54:50 > 0:54:55SLOW COUNTRY MUSIC PLAYS
0:54:55 > 0:54:57This music's depressing.
0:54:57 > 0:54:59That's what my daughter says.
0:54:59 > 0:55:01Why's she in New Zealand?
0:55:01 > 0:55:04Why's she not with you? Is she filming The Hobbit?
0:55:06 > 0:55:09No, she's not filming The Hobbit.
0:55:11 > 0:55:14It's a long and painful story.
