0:00:29 > 0:00:32LAUGHING

0:00:35 > 0:00:39- "Mrs Claus - Elfcare Assistant"!- Yeah, yeah!

0:00:39 > 0:00:41Is Santa taking you out to lunch?

0:00:41 > 0:00:44They're doing the children's ward at St Phil's.

0:00:44 > 0:00:46Oh, so it went all right last night, then?

0:00:46 > 0:00:47Yeah, fantastic(!)

0:00:47 > 0:00:50Freezing my bum off in this torture device.

0:00:50 > 0:00:52Look, see, the toe is flat...

0:00:52 > 0:00:56where last year's Mrs Claus had her encounter with the float.

0:00:56 > 0:00:59Or maybe where it "encountered" Santa's bum afterwards?

0:00:59 > 0:01:00SHE LAUGHS

0:01:00 > 0:01:04It is rewarding work... in the true spirit of Christmas.

0:01:04 > 0:01:07Despite its pagan trappings.

0:01:07 > 0:01:10I, too, hope to be involved in many rewarding activities

0:01:10 > 0:01:11through the church.

0:01:11 > 0:01:14Oh, yeah? Got anything good lined up?

0:01:14 > 0:01:17What's that? "Shelter, helpline..."

0:01:17 > 0:01:21Oh, prison visiting?

0:01:21 > 0:01:24Yes... I am not too sure about this one.

0:01:24 > 0:01:27I wouldn't want to spend Christmas with a load of scallies!

0:01:27 > 0:01:30You're making a list of who's naughty or nice, are you(?)

0:01:30 > 0:01:33Everyone needs somebody at Christmas.

0:01:33 > 0:01:38Yeah. No, it's OK, I think I can find my own way.

0:01:38 > 0:01:40OK, thanks.

0:01:42 > 0:01:43HE SIGHS

0:01:48 > 0:01:50What d'you think?

0:01:50 > 0:01:54- Ah, pretty!- Yeah, it's sort of a family thing.

0:01:54 > 0:01:59- Tradition. - Christmas?! I thought you were Sikh?

0:01:59 > 0:02:04Shiny stuff. Tinsel, baubles... Any excuse, as long as there's bling.

0:02:04 > 0:02:07Well, gives everyone a boost.

0:02:07 > 0:02:10Hey, d'you fancy some lunch... maybe a catch up?

0:02:10 > 0:02:14Sorry, can't. Last-minute shopping to do for New York.

0:02:14 > 0:02:18And I thought, you know, my first Christmas working here...

0:02:18 > 0:02:19be nice to contribute.

0:02:19 > 0:02:22Yes, go for it. I'm all for upping the Christmas spirit.

0:02:22 > 0:02:24Something's clearly upped yours.

0:02:24 > 0:02:26Yes, good team-building, isn't it?

0:02:26 > 0:02:28Might even stick something up myself.

0:02:28 > 0:02:31A "Beware Of The Tree" sign, maybe?

0:02:31 > 0:02:34I was just going to say, while we're all full of team-building,

0:02:34 > 0:02:39Christmas-spirited goodwill, don't forget your Secret Santa presents!

0:02:39 > 0:02:41I will do my best.

0:02:41 > 0:02:43Well said, Mrs "Temb".

0:02:43 > 0:02:47If others would do me the courtesy of pronouncing my name correctly.

0:02:47 > 0:02:49I did, didn't I?

0:02:49 > 0:02:54No. No, you did not. It is "Temb-ay". Two syllables.

0:02:54 > 0:02:56Half of which you consistently omit.

0:02:56 > 0:02:58Perhaps you would not feel quite

0:02:58 > 0:03:02so team-spirited without all of your syllables...

0:03:02 > 0:03:04Mr "Bellam".

0:03:11 > 0:03:14What's put a spring in your step?

0:03:14 > 0:03:15Or should I ask "who"?

0:03:15 > 0:03:18- I need to check your availability. - Oh, really?

0:03:18 > 0:03:20To coordinate the rosters.

0:03:20 > 0:03:22Uh-uh-uh! Secret Santa?

0:03:22 > 0:03:24As in "identity unknown".

0:03:29 > 0:03:32Haematology department, please?

0:03:32 > 0:03:34Down the corridor, turn right.

0:04:00 > 0:04:02Everything must go!

0:04:03 > 0:04:05We've met.

0:04:06 > 0:04:10I don't know if you remember. It was some years ago, at a fete.

0:04:10 > 0:04:12"Churches...?"

0:04:12 > 0:04:16"Against Famine". You ran a confectionery stall.

0:04:16 > 0:04:19And you donated the most astonishing home-baked fruitcake!

0:04:19 > 0:04:21- SHE LAUGHS - Well...

0:04:21 > 0:04:24Mrs Tembe?

0:04:24 > 0:04:27Is it still "Mrs?"

0:04:27 > 0:04:31Yes. I am surprised that you remember, Mr...?

0:04:31 > 0:04:32Bennett.

0:04:32 > 0:04:35Jerry.

0:04:36 > 0:04:38How could I forget?

0:04:39 > 0:04:43I believed... you forgot our arrangement...

0:04:43 > 0:04:45to meet at the coffee shop afterwards?

0:04:45 > 0:04:50No...no. I left a message with the staff.

0:04:50 > 0:04:55My sister was under the weather. They didn't tell you?

0:04:55 > 0:04:58I left a number.

0:04:58 > 0:05:01I just assumed you'd had second thoughts.

0:05:01 > 0:05:05But here you are! Christmas shopping?

0:05:05 > 0:05:09Eh, no. I am...a "Secret Santa".

0:05:09 > 0:05:11Not a very good one, I'm afraid.

0:05:11 > 0:05:14I am to buy a gift for a man I barely know, or like...

0:05:14 > 0:05:19who does not like me, or, anyone else for that matter,

0:05:19 > 0:05:22and I truly think he does not want a present anyway.

0:05:22 > 0:05:25I see. Quite a conundrum.

0:05:25 > 0:05:28Yes. It is quite a conundrum, indeed.

0:05:48 > 0:05:50Bookends.

0:05:53 > 0:05:56The porcelain head...thing? No...

0:05:56 > 0:05:58Magnifying glass?

0:05:58 > 0:06:02Might help him locate his sense of propriety.

0:06:02 > 0:06:04Ha-ha, do you have a bigger one?

0:06:04 > 0:06:05HE LAUGHS

0:06:05 > 0:06:09I did have binoculars somewhere.

0:06:09 > 0:06:11Ah, carriage clock!

0:06:11 > 0:06:15Stopped, unfortunately, but still right twice a day.

0:06:15 > 0:06:18He is the kind of gentleman who likes to be right ALL the time.

0:06:18 > 0:06:19HE LAUGHS

0:06:19 > 0:06:23Eh...clog.

0:06:23 > 0:06:25Buy one, get one free!

0:06:25 > 0:06:28If I can find the other one.

0:06:28 > 0:06:31There you are. Oh, that was a close thing.

0:06:31 > 0:06:35Listen...if nothing here takes your fancy...

0:06:35 > 0:06:37we could look in the back room, if you like?

0:06:37 > 0:06:40You have already gone to far too much trouble...

0:06:40 > 0:06:44Nonsense! I'm having far too much fun to stop digging now!

0:06:47 > 0:06:49You wanted a chat?

0:06:49 > 0:06:51Yes, but I'm snowed under at the moment.

0:06:51 > 0:06:55Time enough to do some Christmas shopping, though, I see.

0:06:56 > 0:06:59"G... Thinking of you."

0:06:59 > 0:07:02So, who could the mysterious "G" be?

0:07:02 > 0:07:05And what has he, or she, done to deserve it?

0:07:07 > 0:07:10It can't be a Secret Santa, because there isn't a "G" on the staff.

0:07:10 > 0:07:13- Can we just...? - And are you?- What?

0:07:13 > 0:07:16Thinking of her? Now.

0:07:16 > 0:07:18What I'm thinking is, this is inappropriate.

0:07:18 > 0:07:22Always is. That's why it's fun.

0:07:22 > 0:07:24Go on...tell me all about her.

0:07:24 > 0:07:26You know you want to.

0:07:26 > 0:07:28Thanks for the coffee.

0:07:28 > 0:07:30My availability.

0:07:32 > 0:07:34Just in case you need to know.

0:07:36 > 0:07:40Solitaire! Just the thing for the man who likes his own company!

0:07:40 > 0:07:42Unless you'd prefer to keep looking?

0:07:42 > 0:07:46No, it is perfect.

0:07:46 > 0:07:49But I think you have cheated yourself on the discount.

0:07:49 > 0:07:50Everything must go!

0:07:54 > 0:07:56This is ivory!

0:07:56 > 0:07:59No, it's just a good imitation, surely?

0:07:59 > 0:08:03No. See the crossing pattern in the grain, here.

0:08:04 > 0:08:07I saw a great deal of this, growing up in Botswana,

0:08:07 > 0:08:09before the ban stopped the poaching.

0:08:09 > 0:08:12Oh, that's appalling!

0:08:12 > 0:08:16I don't even know which of my suppliers it came from.

0:08:16 > 0:08:19How can people still be doing such things?

0:08:19 > 0:08:24Where there is poverty and hunger, there is desperation.

0:08:24 > 0:08:27Desperate people do desperate things.

0:08:27 > 0:08:29Well, at least I can alert the police.

0:08:29 > 0:08:31And the set is useless without this.

0:08:31 > 0:08:35What is a pawn without the rest of the set?

0:08:37 > 0:08:39Perhaps, whatever it wants to be.

0:08:39 > 0:08:43And to be with whoever it wants to be with?

0:08:46 > 0:08:50I could...

0:08:50 > 0:08:52wrap this up for you...

0:08:52 > 0:08:54before taking lunch.

0:08:54 > 0:08:58I was thinking, a little car picnic, at the park...

0:08:58 > 0:09:00if you've no plans...

0:09:00 > 0:09:03I just have to deliver those letters, but...

0:09:03 > 0:09:06It would be my pleasure. And the least I could do...

0:09:06 > 0:09:08to keep THIS appointment.

0:09:15 > 0:09:17Kevin Tyler?

0:09:17 > 0:09:20- Yeah.- Hi, you have come to the right place. Come on.

0:09:49 > 0:09:53I couldn't get here any earlier, we're short-staffed!

0:09:53 > 0:09:55Well, next time, lay on some more little helpers!

0:09:55 > 0:09:57Ho-ho-ho!

0:09:57 > 0:09:59- Hi!- Sweet!

0:09:59 > 0:10:02Yeah. I thought you had a full day?

0:10:02 > 0:10:05Oh, my climbing group was just around the corner, and my star

0:10:05 > 0:10:09pupil gave me back that book I was telling you about, Living For Now.

0:10:09 > 0:10:13So I thought I'd try and fit you in...before Pilates.

0:10:13 > 0:10:15Why don't I show you my office?

0:10:22 > 0:10:26Whoa, what's the rush? Talk about "Living For Now"...

0:10:26 > 0:10:29Or maybe you're just after a repeat of last night?

0:10:29 > 0:10:33No, it's just... I got something for you too.

0:11:04 > 0:11:06Mr Bennett, we have to go!

0:11:06 > 0:11:10Yes, yes, all wrapped and raring to go.

0:11:10 > 0:11:12And we are going to need those binoculars!

0:11:12 > 0:11:15Oh.

0:11:15 > 0:11:18Now, the results will come back here ASAP,

0:11:18 > 0:11:20as obviously, time is of the essence.

0:11:20 > 0:11:23But as far as you're concerned at this stage,

0:11:23 > 0:11:24it's just a simple blood test.

0:11:24 > 0:11:26There's absolutely nothing to worry about.

0:11:26 > 0:11:29I'm so sorry. I know it must be a very difficult time

0:11:29 > 0:11:31for you and your family...

0:11:31 > 0:11:33So I can go straight down?

0:11:33 > 0:11:36Yeah, as soon as I've put you on the system.

0:11:36 > 0:11:38I must tell you that you can change your mind at any time.

0:11:38 > 0:11:42But obviously, in this case, that's not going to be an issue.

0:11:44 > 0:11:47Mrs Tembe, I'm really not sure about this.

0:11:51 > 0:11:54No... No, this is the place.

0:11:54 > 0:11:58The postcode is nearly the same as our office supplier next door,

0:11:58 > 0:12:01and they confirmed... it matched this address!

0:12:01 > 0:12:03It is not enough for the police...

0:12:03 > 0:12:06The box may be a reused one.

0:12:06 > 0:12:08The postcode isn't even complete.

0:12:08 > 0:12:12In any case, they appear to be long gone.

0:12:12 > 0:12:14CAR HORN BLARES

0:12:14 > 0:12:15Mr Bennett!

0:12:15 > 0:12:17Sorry.

0:12:17 > 0:12:21Please... We have to be quiet, and patient,

0:12:21 > 0:12:22and then you will see...

0:12:22 > 0:12:26It's just... I imagined us having lunch together somewhere more...

0:12:26 > 0:12:28convivial.

0:12:29 > 0:12:32- Duck!- Liver pate.

0:12:32 > 0:12:33No, duck!

0:12:36 > 0:12:38Now, look!

0:12:38 > 0:12:40Look here.

0:12:42 > 0:12:47Now you will see the boxes are identical!

0:12:47 > 0:12:49There, look how sly and shifty they look.

0:12:51 > 0:12:55Oh, no. No, no, no!

0:12:55 > 0:12:56What?

0:12:56 > 0:12:59They are moving the evidence!

0:12:59 > 0:13:03Maybe they noticed the missing piece! We have to do something!

0:13:03 > 0:13:06No, wait! They might be dangerous.

0:13:06 > 0:13:10"For evil to flourish, good men," or women...

0:13:10 > 0:13:12- "must do nothing."- Mrs Tembe...!

0:13:12 > 0:13:16I will not stand by and let them

0:13:16 > 0:13:19plunder the natural resources of Africa.

0:13:19 > 0:13:21Mrs...!

0:13:21 > 0:13:25You call the police. Tell them it is an emergency.

0:13:25 > 0:13:27I will try to delay them somehow...

0:13:27 > 0:13:29Mrs...!

0:13:31 > 0:13:35You! Stop...now!

0:13:35 > 0:13:37Please.

0:13:37 > 0:13:38I...

0:13:39 > 0:13:44I...am Mrs Winifred Tembe.

0:13:45 > 0:13:49And by the...

0:13:49 > 0:13:53the authority vested in me by the...

0:13:54 > 0:13:55..by the...

0:13:57 > 0:14:02the Health & Safety Executive,

0:14:02 > 0:14:07you must cease and desist all activities during...

0:14:07 > 0:14:09during my inspection.

0:14:10 > 0:14:11Thank you.

0:14:12 > 0:14:15What I'm saying to you is, we've got to prepare

0:14:15 > 0:14:18ourselves for the possibility that you won't be a match.

0:14:18 > 0:14:21Yeah, I know. Only half my DNA came from him.

0:14:21 > 0:14:26And you know that this type of leukaemia isn't hereditary?

0:14:26 > 0:14:29So at least you don't have to worry that he's passed it on to you.

0:14:29 > 0:14:31Yeah, I know that too, being a doctor(!)

0:14:32 > 0:14:35Be the first thing he ever did give me.

0:14:36 > 0:14:39Genes are all we share. He dumped my mum when she was still pregnant,

0:14:39 > 0:14:41so I kind of hope we're not a match.

0:14:44 > 0:14:46Look, I've got a real phobia of needles,

0:14:46 > 0:14:49so can we please just get this over and done with?

0:15:07 > 0:15:10Put that out! It is a fire hazard!

0:15:10 > 0:15:16In the appropriate receptacle! What are your names?

0:15:17 > 0:15:19Gaz. Gareth Chambers.

0:15:19 > 0:15:21Deano. Dean Bartley.

0:15:21 > 0:15:24Well, Mr Chambers...

0:15:24 > 0:15:31and Mr Bartley, I have already seen several serious infractions.

0:15:32 > 0:15:35Smoking outside the designated area.

0:15:35 > 0:15:39Dubious distractions in the workplace.

0:15:40 > 0:15:42Slippy floors.

0:15:42 > 0:15:46All spillages must be mopped up straight away!

0:15:48 > 0:15:53Do you want to be distracted, slip, and set yourself on fire?

0:15:54 > 0:15:56- Well, do you?!- No.

0:15:56 > 0:16:00No...no, you do not, Mr Bartley.

0:16:07 > 0:16:10- Yes!- What?

0:16:10 > 0:16:12Just feeling like a lucky man.

0:16:12 > 0:16:15Just you wait till after dinner.

0:16:23 > 0:16:25Oh, sorry.

0:16:30 > 0:16:32Oh, dear, oh, dear, oh, dear.

0:16:32 > 0:16:35PHONE RINGS

0:16:35 > 0:16:37Yeah?

0:16:37 > 0:16:39Look, I can't talk.

0:16:39 > 0:16:41We got Health & Safety here!

0:16:43 > 0:16:45Yeah?

0:16:47 > 0:16:48Got it.

0:16:53 > 0:16:58I have concluded my investigation, and I will now send a full

0:16:58 > 0:17:02written report to the relevant authorities... Good day.

0:17:02 > 0:17:04My boss wants a quick word.

0:17:04 > 0:17:07I am afraid I have other inspections...

0:17:07 > 0:17:10It won't take long. You can wait in the office.

0:17:14 > 0:17:16Sorry about the wait.

0:17:16 > 0:17:19Needle phobia, eh? That must be fun, as a GP(!)

0:17:19 > 0:17:22Yeah. Venesection was a riot when I was a medical student!

0:17:22 > 0:17:24Look, I forgot to give you these earlier.

0:17:24 > 0:17:27Just the normal things about donation,

0:17:27 > 0:17:29probably nothing you don't already know...

0:17:29 > 0:17:32I just wondered, as you're already putting yourself through this,

0:17:32 > 0:17:35maybe you'd consider going on the donor register proper?

0:17:35 > 0:17:39- You can see from the numbers how short we are of men like you... - What, doctors?

0:17:39 > 0:17:44No, ethnic minority. People of South Asian origin...

0:17:44 > 0:17:46No matter what happens to your father,

0:17:46 > 0:17:48you could be a lifeline to someone else...

0:17:48 > 0:17:51I'm not Asian though, am I? I mean, I'm half-white.

0:17:51 > 0:17:53- OK, well...- Well, I'm not.

0:17:53 > 0:17:55So it doesn't apply...

0:17:55 > 0:17:59Yeah... I just thought you might consider it, you know...

0:17:59 > 0:18:00as a doctor.

0:18:00 > 0:18:03Season of goodwill and all that...

0:18:09 > 0:18:13Mr Bennett! How did you...?

0:18:13 > 0:18:14I slipped in while they were busy.

0:18:14 > 0:18:19After all...I let you get away from me once before...

0:18:19 > 0:18:22Then we can leave the same way.

0:18:22 > 0:18:25Perhaps... we'd be safer if we stayed put?

0:18:27 > 0:18:29Yes...you are right.

0:18:29 > 0:18:31The police will be here soon anyway.

0:18:31 > 0:18:34We do not want the perpetrators doing a runner.

0:18:36 > 0:18:39They cannot leave with their ill-gotten gains anyway.

0:18:41 > 0:18:44(I removed this from the van.)

0:18:46 > 0:18:48You really are quite a woman.

0:18:50 > 0:18:54This is turning out to be quite a Christmas.

0:18:54 > 0:18:55Had worse.

0:18:57 > 0:18:59Mrs Tembe.

0:18:59 > 0:19:02When you did not turn up at the coffee shop...

0:19:04 > 0:19:08I thought, perhaps, you had returned home...

0:19:08 > 0:19:10to your wife.

0:19:11 > 0:19:12No.

0:19:12 > 0:19:14No...

0:19:14 > 0:19:18Marriage somehow passed me by. Family commitments and so on.

0:19:20 > 0:19:22And then... one finds oneself alone...

0:19:22 > 0:19:25Yes.

0:19:25 > 0:19:27As a matter of fact...

0:19:28 > 0:19:31I lost my husband...

0:19:31 > 0:19:33quite some time ago.

0:19:33 > 0:19:35ENGINE STALLS

0:19:38 > 0:19:39Ah!

0:19:39 > 0:19:41HE WHISTLES

0:19:41 > 0:19:42FEMALE LAUGHTER

0:19:45 > 0:19:46HE WHISTLES

0:19:46 > 0:19:48FEMALE LAUGHTER

0:19:52 > 0:19:56He's been on hot bricks all day. He couldn't wait to get out for that.

0:19:56 > 0:19:58I didn't know he'd told people.

0:19:58 > 0:20:01I mean, he's told me a bit about this place,

0:20:01 > 0:20:03how great everyone is, but...

0:20:03 > 0:20:05It must be good, though, to put faces to names?

0:20:05 > 0:20:09Yeah! Heston, is it?

0:20:09 > 0:20:11Karen... Mrs "Temb"!

0:20:11 > 0:20:14She sounds like a right character!

0:20:14 > 0:20:18Actually, it's "Mrs Temb-ay"... but you know Howard!

0:20:18 > 0:20:23He has difficulty getting to grips with the...new and unfamiliar.

0:20:25 > 0:20:28You'd think he'd have mentioned you...

0:20:28 > 0:20:29as you go back?

0:20:29 > 0:20:32Yes, you would! You two haven't been together that long, then?

0:20:32 > 0:20:35I thought you were going to your Pilates thing?

0:20:35 > 0:20:38Oh... Yeah!

0:20:38 > 0:20:42- Just as Emma was about to fill me in on all your foibles, too. - It'll keep.

0:20:42 > 0:20:45(Later!)

0:20:46 > 0:20:48Later.

0:20:49 > 0:20:53Why are the police taking so long?

0:20:53 > 0:20:55- What did they say? - KNOCK ON DOOR

0:20:55 > 0:20:57Open up!

0:20:58 > 0:21:01It'll be all right. I promise you.

0:21:05 > 0:21:06It won't start.

0:21:08 > 0:21:09Try this.

0:21:17 > 0:21:19You?

0:21:20 > 0:21:24Of all the shops in all the world, you had to walk into mine.

0:21:25 > 0:21:27You told them to move the evidence.

0:21:30 > 0:21:34"Why would people do such things?"...you said.

0:21:36 > 0:21:38My sister...

0:21:38 > 0:21:42she wanted to live her last few months at home...

0:21:42 > 0:21:44with her family.

0:21:44 > 0:21:48And there were costs. Care, equipment.

0:21:48 > 0:21:50Her son begged me...

0:21:50 > 0:21:52My only sister.

0:21:52 > 0:21:56And she confounded those doctors! Month after month.

0:21:57 > 0:21:59She finally went in June.

0:22:01 > 0:22:04I had to get myself out from under somehow!

0:22:05 > 0:22:07And the ivory was out there already.

0:22:07 > 0:22:11If it hadn't been me, it would have been someone else.

0:22:12 > 0:22:14Yes.

0:22:14 > 0:22:17Yet, I am to blame also.

0:22:17 > 0:22:20I should have gone to the police, there and then.

0:22:24 > 0:22:27But I believed you when you said you wanted to be my friend.

0:22:28 > 0:22:32But instead you just wanted to keep me quiet, until it was safe.

0:22:32 > 0:22:35No, it was never that!

0:22:36 > 0:22:38You're free to go...

0:22:38 > 0:22:40always have been.

0:22:42 > 0:22:45Even if it's straight to the police...

0:22:50 > 0:22:52I wanted to explain...

0:22:56 > 0:22:59I've never seen myself as Asian.

0:22:59 > 0:23:01Yeah, other people have called me that.

0:23:01 > 0:23:04The Asian community haven't wanted to know me till now, either.

0:23:04 > 0:23:07It's not what I see when I look in the mirror.

0:23:07 > 0:23:11- You don't have to explain yourself to me... - Really?! It really seems like I do!

0:23:11 > 0:23:13Soon as I'm in the door, you make all these assumptions

0:23:13 > 0:23:16like I'm just some...Asian!

0:23:16 > 0:23:18All but racially profiling me!

0:23:18 > 0:23:21So look, why don't we complete the stereotype!

0:23:21 > 0:23:23And you take me off that stupid register!

0:23:24 > 0:23:27I'm not just some Asian!

0:23:27 > 0:23:30I'm Kevin Tyler.

0:23:32 > 0:23:35You could go to the police. Give yourself up.

0:23:35 > 0:23:37Why would I do that?

0:23:37 > 0:23:39Because you are not a bad man.

0:23:39 > 0:23:43I never meant to deceive you. I never meant for any of this.

0:23:43 > 0:23:47Then turn back, before it is too late...

0:23:48 > 0:23:53The police aren't coming...and very soon...there'll be no evidence.

0:24:03 > 0:24:07Why would I choose to go to prison...

0:24:07 > 0:24:09lose what little I have left?

0:24:09 > 0:24:11It is better than losing your soul.

0:24:11 > 0:24:16You yourself said, "We can be who we choose to be."

0:24:16 > 0:24:18DISTANT SIRENS

0:24:18 > 0:24:19Maybe we're all pawns to fate.

0:24:21 > 0:24:23Then run, leave now.

0:24:23 > 0:24:25Because I deceived you, too.

0:24:25 > 0:24:28I left a message for Sergeant Hollins...

0:24:29 > 0:24:32Out! Quick! Through the back way!

0:24:32 > 0:24:34SIRENS WAIL

0:24:34 > 0:24:36IGNITION STARTS

0:24:53 > 0:24:55Sorry I'm not the man you thought I was.

0:24:55 > 0:24:59But you really are an amazing woman.

0:24:59 > 0:25:01Enough to restore a man's faith.

0:25:03 > 0:25:06Maybe that's the last thing I'll ever steal.

0:25:07 > 0:25:09Say a prayer for me(?)

0:25:16 > 0:25:19Ow! Ow!

0:25:19 > 0:25:20Oh, thank you.

0:25:20 > 0:25:22How'd it go?

0:25:22 > 0:25:26I almost enjoyed it. Especially when Santa slipped in some sick. "Ho-ho-whoa!"

0:25:26 > 0:25:28THEY LAUGH

0:25:28 > 0:25:31And the little kids' faces. Oh!

0:25:31 > 0:25:34And my kids are going to be back in a couple of days,

0:25:34 > 0:25:37so I'll hang up my boots and just play Mum.

0:25:42 > 0:25:43Get what you needed?

0:25:44 > 0:25:47Actually, I went to get tested.

0:25:47 > 0:25:49Oh.

0:25:49 > 0:25:50And...?

0:25:51 > 0:25:53Wasn't a match.

0:25:56 > 0:25:57At least you tried.

0:26:04 > 0:26:05HE SIGHS

0:26:05 > 0:26:06KNOCK ON DOOR

0:26:08 > 0:26:10Rosters.

0:26:12 > 0:26:15So you just bumped into each other, did you(?) You and Gina?

0:26:15 > 0:26:18- Mm-hm.- Got chatting...(?)

0:26:18 > 0:26:19- Yup.- About?

0:26:19 > 0:26:22You know...girl talk.

0:26:23 > 0:26:26She seems like a nice girl.

0:26:26 > 0:26:28Just right for you.

0:26:28 > 0:26:30Appropriate.

0:26:30 > 0:26:34"Nice"? She's not nice, she's amazing! Not that it's anything to do with you!

0:26:34 > 0:26:37She's gorgeous, passionate, straight as an arrow! Oh, and single.

0:26:37 > 0:26:40And I'm free to play the field with anybody I like,

0:26:40 > 0:26:43without the approval of one of my married colleagues!

0:26:49 > 0:26:51HE SIGHS

0:26:54 > 0:26:57You'll be OK back on that sleigh when you see those happy faces.

0:26:57 > 0:26:59We close for lunch at two, I'm afraid.

0:26:59 > 0:27:02There's a cafe up the road... It's all right.

0:27:02 > 0:27:05Don't forget Gina and I are coming over later.

0:27:05 > 0:27:08Gina wants to see Santa and his sleigh.

0:27:08 > 0:27:11You are supposed to put time and effort into a Secret Santa present.

0:27:11 > 0:27:13Make it personal.

0:27:13 > 0:27:16This is the point. I really can't be bothered.
