0:00:49 > 0:00:51CELEBRATORY PEAL OF BELLS
0:00:51 > 0:00:53- Merry Christmas.- Merry Christmas.
0:01:12 > 0:01:15Mr Venus, your opinion.
0:01:18 > 0:01:21You know him?
0:01:21 > 0:01:24I've had that face thrust in mine often enough.
0:01:25 > 0:01:27His name is Jacob Marley.
0:01:29 > 0:01:32And what in the world would cause Mr Marley here
0:01:32 > 0:01:34to thrust his face in yours?
0:01:34 > 0:01:3611 shillings and sixpence.
0:01:38 > 0:01:40At least that's what I borrowed.
0:01:40 > 0:01:43But Mr Marley here turned it into a debt three times that.
0:01:44 > 0:01:46A moneylender?
0:01:47 > 0:01:50I had cause to purchase the bones of
0:01:50 > 0:01:52a deformed primate for my collection.
0:01:53 > 0:01:56- If you please, Mr Venus. - I'll tell you what I can.
0:02:00 > 0:02:04- A crack to the head, hit with some force.- From where?
0:02:06 > 0:02:08I'd say from the front to the side of the head.
0:02:08 > 0:02:14- There is a bruise here, above the ear. Long and narrow.- A cosh?
0:02:27 > 0:02:28Made of wood.
0:02:34 > 0:02:36Merry Christmas.
0:02:52 > 0:02:54CLOCK TICKS
0:02:57 > 0:03:01I know her. She will expect me to be there for lunch.
0:03:01 > 0:03:04Which, my dear Havisham, is precisely why you won't be going.
0:03:06 > 0:03:08It's Christmas Day.
0:03:08 > 0:03:12- You described your sister to me as headstrong, wilful.- Yes.
0:03:12 > 0:03:15No doubt because she is accustomed to getting what she wants.
0:03:15 > 0:03:17Father doted on her.
0:03:17 > 0:03:19Then it is high time she learned a very valuable lesson.
0:03:19 > 0:03:23That not all men will do her bidding.
0:03:23 > 0:03:26The plan is simply for you to ingratiate yourself with her.
0:03:26 > 0:03:31Become her friend, offer her counsel, advise her to revoke the will.
0:03:32 > 0:03:38- Do you want what is rightfully yours?- Yes.- So...
0:03:38 > 0:03:41So...what will you say to her?
0:03:43 > 0:03:44That...
0:03:44 > 0:03:47That I am troubled on discovering that the man
0:03:47 > 0:03:49I struck in her defence was...
0:03:49 > 0:03:51- MOCK GASP - ..in fact her brother.
0:03:51 > 0:03:54That I'm keen to make amends, to mediate
0:03:54 > 0:03:57in order to unite the family.
0:03:57 > 0:04:01In memory of her late father, in the true spirit of Christmas.
0:04:02 > 0:04:03BOTH LAUGH
0:04:06 > 0:04:10Well, be careful. She may be a girl, but she is nobody's fool.
0:04:12 > 0:04:13She's still a Havisham.
0:04:14 > 0:04:17Leave the goose to the fox, Arthur.
0:04:20 > 0:04:22I shall deliver her once she has been plucked.
0:04:25 > 0:04:28I didn't know we was expected to bring our own food.
0:04:28 > 0:04:29It's Christmas Day!
0:04:29 > 0:04:32Two little gifts, that's all. Enter into the spirit.
0:04:32 > 0:04:35- I've got half a pork pie. - Where's the other half?
0:04:35 > 0:04:38Some I ate, some I used to bait the rat traps.
0:04:38 > 0:04:41I trimmed it, made it look like it was bought as a half.
0:04:41 > 0:04:43Yeah, mum's the word.
0:04:44 > 0:04:47If it's not eaten, I'm bringing it back.
0:04:56 > 0:04:58BOYS LAUGH
0:04:58 > 0:04:59Oh!
0:04:59 > 0:05:01HE LAUGHS ALONG WITH THEM
0:05:01 > 0:05:02GIRL SCREAMS
0:05:12 > 0:05:15We brought half a pork pie and a cake to add to the festivities.
0:05:15 > 0:05:17Thank you, and Merry Christmas.
0:05:17 > 0:05:19Not that having to bring refreshment was
0:05:19 > 0:05:20made clear at the time of the invitation.
0:05:20 > 0:05:23- Oh, well, I... - Oh, take no notice of her.
0:05:23 > 0:05:26She is not much afflicted by manners or good humour,
0:05:26 > 0:05:28or anything else for that matter.
0:05:28 > 0:05:30- LOUDER:- Apart from sticking her parish pickaxe
0:05:30 > 0:05:32in other people's business.
0:05:32 > 0:05:34MAN SIGHS DEEPLY
0:05:35 > 0:05:37- Better out than in. - SHE HUFFS

0:05:41 > 0:05:42Mr Wake.
0:05:44 > 0:05:45Miss Biggetywitch.
0:05:47 > 0:05:49What's she got her nose in now?
0:05:49 > 0:05:52- Oh, a stranger.- He's still there.
0:05:52 > 0:05:55- Who is?- Someone outside Scrooge and Marley's.
0:05:55 > 0:05:59He looks official. Looks like he knows something the rest of us don't.
0:05:59 > 0:06:03Mind, I saw a man hanged outside Newgate...
0:06:03 > 0:06:05He walked to the gallows with the same air about him.
0:06:05 > 0:06:07Cocksure of himself, he was.
0:06:07 > 0:06:11- And he were a murderer.- Someone get her away from that winda'.
0:06:11 > 0:06:13Well, don't blame me if we're all murdered in our beds.
0:06:13 > 0:06:14Ooh!
0:06:18 > 0:06:20CHILDREN CHATTER
0:06:25 > 0:06:27Thanks, Mama.
0:06:27 > 0:06:29Thank you, Pa.
0:06:31 > 0:06:33Merry Christmas.
0:06:42 > 0:06:46- Don't you like it? - Yes! Yes, of course I do.
0:06:49 > 0:06:50How did we ever afford it?
0:06:51 > 0:06:54Well, that is not for you to worry about, my love.
0:06:54 > 0:06:57All you need to do... is wear it.
0:07:04 > 0:07:08And remember, it was given to you by a man who knows himself to be
0:07:08 > 0:07:11the luckiest in the whole of London.
0:07:11 > 0:07:15- I only knitted you a scarf.- No. You knitted me a wonderful scarf.
0:07:15 > 0:07:17Look at that.
0:07:17 > 0:07:20Girls, have you seen what your father has bought me?
0:07:20 > 0:07:21- Oh.- Beautiful.
0:07:23 > 0:07:25So lovely.
0:07:29 > 0:07:31HE CLEARS HIS THROAT
0:07:36 > 0:07:38SHE GIGGLES
0:07:38 > 0:07:42- I knew you would like them. - They're beautiful.
0:07:43 > 0:07:45As are you.
0:07:45 > 0:07:47Let me fetch your present.
0:07:47 > 0:07:50Oh, no, I shall have it after dinner, as always.
0:07:50 > 0:07:52But I promised Amelia I would call in to see her today,
0:07:52 > 0:07:55and I wanted you to have yours before I left.
0:07:55 > 0:08:00- Because?- I thought you could wear them to dinner.- And so I shall.
0:08:00 > 0:08:03And you don't mind my going to visit Amelia?
0:08:03 > 0:08:05I hate to leave you alone.
0:08:05 > 0:08:08No, Francis will be back from church soon.
0:08:17 > 0:08:19THREE RAPS ON DOOR
0:08:23 > 0:08:25MUFFLED CONVERSATION INSIDE
0:08:25 > 0:08:28Well, I've been continually pestered by people offering
0:08:28 > 0:08:30season's greetings, and in doing so,
0:08:30 > 0:08:32ruining the only thing about Christmas Day
0:08:32 > 0:08:35worth having - the very peace and quiet they so readily disturb!
0:08:37 > 0:08:40- Mr Scrooge? - If you're about to sing, sir,
0:08:40 > 0:08:42I shall fetch a bucket of water, as I would for a cat.
0:08:42 > 0:08:44If it is charity you seek,
0:08:44 > 0:08:46then you should know that a portion of my income is already
0:08:46 > 0:08:48set aside for the poor,
0:08:48 > 0:08:51in the form of taxes to subsidise the workhouses and treadmills.
0:08:51 > 0:08:53If you are simply disturbing me
0:08:53 > 0:08:58to offer me greetings of the season...then I say humbug, sir.
0:09:00 > 0:09:04I am here neither to sing nor collect for charity.
0:09:04 > 0:09:07And although it is not my primary purpose for calling,
0:09:07 > 0:09:10I do indeed offer you greetings of the season.
0:09:10 > 0:09:13Then state your purpose.
0:09:13 > 0:09:15Murder, Mr Scrooge.
0:09:16 > 0:09:20I am Inspector Bucket of the Detective,
0:09:20 > 0:09:25and I am here to talk of the murder of your partner, Mr Jacob Marley.
0:09:31 > 0:09:33CLOCK STRIKES THE HOUR
0:09:39 > 0:09:41Where is Honoria?
0:09:41 > 0:09:44Satis House, she has gone to visit Amelia.
0:09:44 > 0:09:48- And have you told her of our predicament yet?- No.
0:09:48 > 0:09:50May I ask why not?
0:09:50 > 0:09:54She's not like you, Francis, she is not robust. It would upset her.
0:09:55 > 0:09:58- Is she not a part of this family? - Of course she is.
0:09:58 > 0:10:03Then she should know that we face financial ruin, should she not?
0:10:03 > 0:10:06Isn't that what families do, Father? Share their burdens?
0:10:06 > 0:10:09Why upset her on Christmas Day when there might yet be no need?
0:10:11 > 0:10:14I hold some stock that still has value.
0:10:14 > 0:10:15On the other side of the world.
0:10:17 > 0:10:20- If I can find a buyer, it can be transported.- And if it can't?
0:10:22 > 0:10:25Will you still protect Honoria when we are begging in the street?
0:10:32 > 0:10:36One doesn't expect to be dragged out of one's own home by the police.
0:10:36 > 0:10:38And on Christmas Day, at that.
0:10:38 > 0:10:42Hardly dragged, Mr Scrooge, a polite request, as I recall.
0:10:42 > 0:10:45And please, be assured that Mrs Bucket is no more
0:10:45 > 0:10:50thrilled about me being here than you are. But...
0:10:50 > 0:10:52with the victim clearly being a gentleman,
0:10:52 > 0:10:55my superiors were keen that I at least establish his identity
0:10:55 > 0:10:58and speak to his next of kin.
0:10:58 > 0:11:02- He had no next of kin. - No-one at all?
0:11:03 > 0:11:06Yet you said he finished work early yesterday.
0:11:06 > 0:11:08I assumed he had things to do, presents to buy and suchlike,
0:11:08 > 0:11:10what with it being Christmas Eve.
0:11:10 > 0:11:12Jacob Marley buying presents?!
0:11:16 > 0:11:19- His desk?- Mm.
0:11:21 > 0:11:24- This is his journal?- Yes.
0:11:25 > 0:11:29- May I?- Well, he won't be needing it any more now, will he?
0:11:37 > 0:11:40There are three entries here for yesterday.
0:11:42 > 0:11:46- The Old Curiosity Shop. - He had a debt to collect.
0:11:47 > 0:11:53In the evening someone called "Nancy" at eight o'clock.
0:11:53 > 0:11:57Then a later entry shown simply as the letter C.
0:11:59 > 0:12:01Jacob kept his own counsel.
0:12:01 > 0:12:05It could be a name, or he sometimes used the letter C to note a collection had been made.
0:12:05 > 0:12:10Yet it's set alone, Mr Scrooge, not beside a name or a premises.
0:12:10 > 0:12:14I can't answer for Jacob's shoddiness, can I?
0:12:14 > 0:12:17And this Nancy...?
0:12:17 > 0:12:20Who might that be?
0:12:20 > 0:12:24I understand he had arranged for...company.
0:12:25 > 0:12:28Female company?
0:12:28 > 0:12:29Yes.
0:12:29 > 0:12:31And when you say arranged...
0:12:32 > 0:12:36Do I understand that to be a financial arrangement?
0:12:36 > 0:12:38Yes.
0:12:43 > 0:12:46I don't suppose you'd know where I might find this Nancy?
0:12:46 > 0:12:50Why should I? We were not partners in all things, I can assure you.
0:12:53 > 0:12:55So. Was he robbed?
0:12:55 > 0:13:00That's difficult to say, not knowing what he would normally carry on his person.
0:13:00 > 0:13:04Though he was still in possession of a pocket watch.
0:13:04 > 0:13:06And his wallet?
0:13:06 > 0:13:08No wallet was found.
0:13:08 > 0:13:11You believe he carried one?
0:13:11 > 0:13:13I never saw him without it.
0:13:13 > 0:13:18What kind of thief would take a wallet yet leave a pocket watch?
0:13:20 > 0:13:22Could you describe this wallet for me?
0:13:22 > 0:13:27Brown leather, with his initials, JM, in brass studs - vanity.
0:13:29 > 0:13:31If I might say so, Mr Scrooge,
0:13:31 > 0:13:34you don't seem overly troubled by the sudden
0:13:34 > 0:13:37and somewhat tragic loss of your partner.
0:13:37 > 0:13:40If you make it your mission to seek out someone
0:13:40 > 0:13:41to shed a tear for Jacob Marley,
0:13:41 > 0:13:45I fear you will be sorely disappointed.
0:13:45 > 0:13:48He wasn't well liked?
0:13:48 > 0:13:50He was a moneylender.
0:13:50 > 0:13:52We're liked enough at the start of the arrangement,
0:13:52 > 0:13:55despised at the end of it.
0:13:55 > 0:13:56Your problem, Inspector,
0:13:56 > 0:14:00will not be discovering who hated Jacob Marley enough to kill him.
0:14:01 > 0:14:03But rather finding someone who didn't.
0:14:55 > 0:14:56DOOR OPENS
0:14:56 > 0:14:57Thank heavens you're here!
0:14:57 > 0:15:00I was starting to think I must spend Christmas alone.
0:15:00 > 0:15:01Captain Hawdon.
0:15:01 > 0:15:02Miss Haversham.
0:15:02 > 0:15:05Thank you for inviting us. I'm not sure we could've seen each other today if you hadn't.
0:15:05 > 0:15:07Where's Arthur?
0:15:07 > 0:15:11I haven't seen him since yesterday. I fear he's not coming.
0:15:11 > 0:15:13I don't understand.
0:15:13 > 0:15:15We had the reading of Father's will.
0:15:15 > 0:15:17He bequeathed Arthur only a portion of the brewery
0:15:17 > 0:15:19with instructions to manage it.
0:15:19 > 0:15:22And everything else left to you?
0:15:22 > 0:15:24Well, he must have been furious.
0:15:24 > 0:15:26Enough to shout at me in the street.
0:15:26 > 0:15:28Without the kindness of a stranger,
0:15:28 > 0:15:30I dread to think what might have happened.
0:15:30 > 0:15:32A stranger?
0:15:32 > 0:15:34A gentleman was passing.
0:15:34 > 0:15:35He came to my aid.
0:15:35 > 0:15:37Handsome?
0:15:37 > 0:15:38That's hardly the point!
0:15:41 > 0:15:42I didn't notice!
0:15:42 > 0:15:45Was he so handsome, he rendered you sightless?
0:15:45 > 0:15:46Um, I am here, you know.
0:15:46 > 0:15:48Oh, poor James, he's feeling unloved.
0:15:48 > 0:15:50Two women to myself and they talk about someone else.
0:15:50 > 0:15:51Then we must stop.
0:15:51 > 0:15:54I'm sorry, I will give you both my undivided attention -
0:15:54 > 0:15:56we will begin Christmas in earnest.
0:15:56 > 0:15:58Glass of sherry.
0:15:58 > 0:16:00You look wonderful.
0:16:00 > 0:16:02Shouldn't you be wearing black?
0:16:02 > 0:16:05It was Father's wish that I should wear black to his funeral but no longer.
0:16:05 > 0:16:08Well, God bless him for that, but what will people say?
0:16:08 > 0:16:10I will respect his wishes.
0:16:10 > 0:16:12Though I fear it may not make me very popular.
0:16:12 > 0:16:14Excuse me, ma'am, you have a caller.
0:16:18 > 0:16:19Who is it?
0:16:19 > 0:16:21The stranger I told you about.
0:16:23 > 0:16:25Did he say what he wanted?
0:16:25 > 0:16:26No, ma'am.
0:16:26 > 0:16:27You must see him.
0:16:40 > 0:16:42Mr Compeyson.
0:16:42 > 0:16:44Miss Haversham, please forgive the intrusion,
0:16:44 > 0:16:46but I felt I had to see you.
0:16:46 > 0:16:48On Christmas Day?
0:16:48 > 0:16:52Yes, uh, in fact that is rather the point.
0:16:52 > 0:16:54Oh.
0:16:54 > 0:16:56I have discovered that in my eagerness
0:16:56 > 0:16:59to protect you yesterday evening, I may have made a terrible mistake.
0:16:59 > 0:17:01How so?
0:17:01 > 0:17:07I've since learned that the young man I struck was in fact your brother.
0:17:07 > 0:17:11It seems I have unwittingly involved myself in a family dispute,
0:17:11 > 0:17:16and family is so important, particularly at this time of year,
0:17:16 > 0:17:20even more so as I understand your father recently passed.
0:17:20 > 0:17:21Yes.
0:17:21 > 0:17:24Then with your permission, I would like to make amends.
0:17:26 > 0:17:30And how do you propose to do that?
0:17:30 > 0:17:33Well, I'm here to ask his and your forgiveness.
0:17:33 > 0:17:34My brother isn't here.
0:17:37 > 0:17:39If I am the cause of his absence, then you must allow me
0:17:39 > 0:17:44to act as a mediary, to call on him and see if the rift can't be healed.
0:17:45 > 0:17:46Well, it is Christmas, after all.
0:17:46 > 0:17:49Yes, it is, and I have guests waiting.
0:17:49 > 0:17:50Mary, would you, please?
0:17:50 > 0:17:53Thank you very much for taking the time to call. It was very kind of you.
0:17:54 > 0:17:57We've yet to discuss our strategy.
0:17:58 > 0:18:01Ah, your brother... er, reconciliation...
0:18:01 > 0:18:05Mr Compeyson. Much as I applaud your good intentions,
0:18:05 > 0:18:09what on earth could I or anyone else have done to give you the impression
0:18:09 > 0:18:11that I would ask a total stranger
0:18:11 > 0:18:14to involve himself in my family business?
0:18:15 > 0:18:17Arthur and I will no doubt resolve our differences,
0:18:17 > 0:18:20as we have always done without the need for a mediary.
0:18:22 > 0:18:24Good day. And Merry Christmas.
0:18:29 > 0:18:31Er...
0:18:31 > 0:18:32DOOR SHUTS
0:18:32 > 0:18:36- He offered to talk to Arthur on my behalf.- And you turned him away?
0:18:36 > 0:18:41Yes, I did. I don't need a man to solve my problems for me.
0:18:41 > 0:18:42There's hope for you yet.
0:18:44 > 0:18:45Come, boy.

0:19:04 > 0:19:05Ah, right...
0:19:05 > 0:19:08I think I've got this. That's a horse.
0:19:10 > 0:19:13- Monster?- It's you!
0:19:13 > 0:19:14What?!
0:19:18 > 0:19:20Oh, well, now you say it... Yes.
0:19:22 > 0:19:24Your body...
0:19:24 > 0:19:26Yes, very good.
0:19:26 > 0:19:27Your hair...
0:19:27 > 0:19:30CLOCK CHIMES
0:19:30 > 0:19:33- Merry Christmas. - Merry Christmas, sir.
0:19:49 > 0:19:50Peter.
0:19:50 > 0:19:54I bought you a present. Merry Christmas.
0:19:59 > 0:20:04I'm n-not sure you could be any prettier but...Mother says,
0:20:04 > 0:20:06ribbon in a girl's hair is very fetching.
0:20:07 > 0:20:11Then I'll wear it, hope not to disappoint her.
0:20:11 > 0:20:13She won't be.
0:20:15 > 0:20:18Grandfather said you called a lot...
0:20:18 > 0:20:19Asking to see me.
0:20:19 > 0:20:21Even waited outside.
0:20:21 > 0:20:24I thought if I were close and there were errands to run...
0:20:27 > 0:20:30I can't take a gift without giving one in return.
0:20:41 > 0:20:44- Sorry it wasn't wrapped.- Nell!
0:20:44 > 0:20:47- In from the cold.- Coming.
0:20:49 > 0:20:51I have to go.

0:21:05 > 0:21:08I wish you could come in with me.
0:21:08 > 0:21:11Well, when I have my promotion and can support a wife, I will visit
0:21:11 > 0:21:15your father and ask, no, demand his permission to call on you.
0:21:15 > 0:21:17I hope it's soon.
0:21:17 > 0:21:20I can't bear not to be with you.
0:21:20 > 0:21:23Soon. I promise.
0:21:24 > 0:21:26Colonel Mortimer is sure to visit the barracks
0:21:26 > 0:21:30by the end of the month before he leaves for the colonies.
0:21:30 > 0:21:31I know he thinks well of me.
0:21:33 > 0:21:36Then this Colonel Mortimer has excellent taste.
0:22:03 > 0:22:06- You're late.- Well, I'm here now.
0:22:08 > 0:22:12- How was Amelia Havisham? - As well as might be expected.
0:22:12 > 0:22:13And Captain Hawdon?
0:22:16 > 0:22:20I saw you. Like mongrels in the street. Shameful.
0:22:22 > 0:22:24He will gain his promotion soon,
0:22:24 > 0:22:27earn a respectable wage, then he will come to speak to Father.
0:22:27 > 0:22:31- Am I to eat Christmas dinner alone?- No, Father.
0:22:33 > 0:22:35- A toast.- Ooh!
0:22:35 > 0:22:37My two beautiful daughters.
0:22:40 > 0:22:44Let the New Year bring what it may, but for today, in memory
0:22:44 > 0:22:47of your mother, let there be nothing in the Barbary house but laughter.
0:22:47 > 0:22:50Hear, hear, Happy Christmas.
0:22:50 > 0:22:52Happy Christmas.
0:22:54 > 0:22:56CLOCK CHIMES
0:22:58 > 0:23:01This is very kind of you, Mr Venus.
0:23:01 > 0:23:03I am not much for celebrating Christmas, Inspector,
0:23:03 > 0:23:08or much else really, but I do have a liking for mince pies.
0:23:08 > 0:23:12Well, it's filled a gap until I get home to Mrs Bucket
0:23:12 > 0:23:14- and that's for sure.- Oh!
0:23:14 > 0:23:16You'll be heading home, then?
0:23:16 > 0:23:20I have the victim's name and I have ascertained that he has no
0:23:20 > 0:23:24next of kin, as my superiors requested.
0:23:24 > 0:23:28So, if I may ask, what is this new detecting thing I've been
0:23:28 > 0:23:30hearing so much about?
0:23:30 > 0:23:32Ah! We have a new department.
0:23:32 > 0:23:35To be called The Detective.
0:23:35 > 0:23:37More than just keeping the peace,
0:23:37 > 0:23:41- we are to be sent out to investigate crimes.- Investigate?
0:23:41 > 0:23:46To gather evidence and to track down the perpetrator of the crime.
0:23:47 > 0:23:50We are to be called detectives.
0:23:50 > 0:23:52Never heard of such a thing.
0:23:52 > 0:23:54You think it will catch on?
0:23:54 > 0:23:57I think it rather depends on how I do finding the person
0:23:57 > 0:23:59who killed Mr Marley.
0:23:59 > 0:24:02Now there's one more thing to do today,
0:24:02 > 0:24:05and if I'm not back to carve the bird,
0:24:05 > 0:24:08Mrs Bucket will not be best pleased.
0:24:08 > 0:24:11So no thoughts yet about who killed him?
0:24:11 > 0:24:15No thoughts that I am ready to share just yet, Mr Venus.
0:24:15 > 0:24:19Though I have learnt he was carrying a wallet
0:24:19 > 0:24:21that wasn't to be found.
0:24:21 > 0:24:23So he was robbed?
0:24:23 > 0:24:25Perhaps.
0:24:25 > 0:24:30According to his journal, he had an appointment,
0:24:30 > 0:24:32eight at night at his house.
0:24:32 > 0:24:35And though I will need it confirmed, I have allowed an hour,
0:24:35 > 0:24:39give or take, and the body was discovered just before 11.
0:24:40 > 0:24:48So, if my mathematics haven't let me down, I believe
0:24:48 > 0:24:50Mr Jacob Marley was murdered
0:24:50 > 0:24:54between nine and half past ten on Christmas Eve.
0:24:54 > 0:24:58Very impressive detectiving, Mr Bucket.
0:24:58 > 0:25:01It's a start, Mr Venus.
0:25:02 > 0:25:04Just a start.
0:25:05 > 0:25:07Merry Christmas to you.
0:25:15 > 0:25:18Bill, working on Christmas Day?
0:25:18 > 0:25:21Not dining with the Lord Mayor and his wife?
0:25:21 > 0:25:25- They asked but I turned 'em down. - So you came to find me instead, I'm honoured.
0:25:27 > 0:25:30You might not be so happy when I tell you who I've just seen.
0:25:57 > 0:25:59'He was a money lender.
0:26:01 > 0:26:05'Your problem, Inspector, will not be discovering who hated Jacob Marley
0:26:05 > 0:26:09'enough to kill him, but rather finding someone who didn't.'
0:27:04 > 0:27:07- Merry Christmas.- Thank you. - Thank you, Father.
0:27:15 > 0:27:16DOOR OPENS
0:27:16 > 0:27:18Where have you been?!
0:27:19 > 0:27:21What did she say?
0:27:25 > 0:27:27Is she contrite? Conscience stricken?
0:27:27 > 0:27:29- Did she beg for me to go home?- No.
0:27:30 > 0:27:32She threw me out.
0:27:35 > 0:27:38Without so much as a by your leave,
0:27:38 > 0:27:40she showed me the damned door.
0:27:40 > 0:27:41HE LAUGHS
0:27:41 > 0:27:43She closed it in my face.
0:27:45 > 0:27:49And you find that amusing because...?
0:27:49 > 0:27:54Because, my dear Havisham, it means the chase is on.
0:27:54 > 0:27:56And I'll wager not an easy one at that.
0:27:58 > 0:28:05So, the well honoured tradition of to the victor of the spoils.
0:28:08 > 0:28:12I intend to take her for everything.
0:28:14 > 0:28:16Every penny.
