We can't leave it here.

We're going to have tokeep

it with us...

all the time.

Fill your school bag.

And don't let it out your sight.

Guard it with your life,

whatever happens.

- Ok?

- Ok.

Damian?

Have you any room?

- Have youany room?

- No, Damian,

Damian he's tired, he's walked

here all the way from Nazareth.

He's tired.

He's very, very tired.

- Well...

- Tired.

The walk fromNazareth,

people did that all the time.

And he was a carpenter.

So he was very fit.

He wasn't tired.

He was excited.

His wife was going to have a baby.

They weren't expecting

to go to sleep.

Ok. You say excited.

I say tired. Let's try nervous?

Ok? Shall we start again?

Joseph the Worker,

first century, dates uncertain?

I wouldn't have said nervous.

I would have said focused.

Well, have you any room?

What did he want to bring her for?

You invited her.

Beginners.

Beginners positions.

Damian, come on.

The word went out

from Julius Caesar.

Caesar...

Caesar Augustus that everybody

had to go to their

home town to be taxed.

So Mary and Joseph

set out for Bethlehem.

# Little Donkey,

# Little Don. Key.

# On the dusty road...

Do you know how much

a piece of gold that big

would be worth at today's prices?

A lot. An awful lot.

I wonder what happened to it?

Because he was poor after that.

I wonder what he spent it on.

Can we please loose

the anachronistic bag?

I don't think they had Addidas

in the first century.

Far away to the East,

three wise men saw a star.

Thanks girls.

Look a star!

Let's follow it.

# Come, they told me,

# par um pa pa pa pum

# A new born King to see,

# par um pa pum pum

No, Saint Maureen.

I don't think I have heard of her.

Is she a virgin martyr?

I don't think so.

Here he is.

He's always got

those bags with him.

Pom pom pom...

Do you remember me?

Mmmm...?

I'm the poor man.

Damian Cunningham,

what are you doing there?

Come on, where should you be?

Where should you be,

you should be in Bethlehem,

come on.

I can't believe you've got...

no go back... go back.

As for these.

What have I told you about these?

I've told you before. Ssshhhhh.

Back out! Back out! Back out!

Shhhhh! Back on! Back on!

They tried first at one inn.

Do you have any room

at this inn?

No sorry, we're fully booked.

Do you have any room

at this inn?

We haven't any room,

but we've got a stable.

So he took them to the stable...

Oh, this is nice and cosy,

Joseph...

and cosy Joseph...

I said this is nice

and cosy Joseph.

Damian? Damian?

Yes, this is where our

Lord Baby Jesus will be born.

And so our Saviour came,

bringing peace to all the earth.

# Silent night, Holy night...

Quick, come on!

You stay there.

Oh no the keys!

Oh no!

Damian!

- What you doing?

- Dad!

Come here!

Oh God!

Come here! Come here!

It's alright.

Let's get you down.

What were you doing?

- Is he all right, Dad?

- There we go,

- What's he doing?

- Good lad.

Well he found it!

Ltjust fell out of the sky.

Right in front of me.

I thought it was from God.

From God?

It's not really his thing is it,

handing out cash?

Why would God hand out...

Two hundred and twenty nine thousand,

three hundred and twenty pounds.

Blimey!

I was going to give it to the poor,

but it was really hard.

Why didn't you tell me?

Anthony said not to,

because of the tax.

We could keep some of it though

couldn't we, like a reward?

- Get in.

- Oh!

So what are we going

to do with it then?

We're going to hand it in.

All of it.

Well what else can we do?

It's not ours is it?

Hello?

I called round, the door was open.

I've called the police.

I thought you might have come home.

Everyone gets burgled at

Christmas, Dad.

This will be your crime number.

So you can get on to your

insurance company.

Of course they can't really

recompense you for this.

I mean they can't give you

your Christmas back can they?

Probably be next Christmas by

the time you get anything back.

I don't suppose you've got any

serial numbers, security codes,

anything like that? No?

Well, wouldn't make any difference.

It's very rare we get anything back.

Very rare.

Whe know the stolen currency

is around here somewhere.

That's what this is all about.

But they can't do anything about it.

All the banks have been

warned to look out

for anyone making

any large deposits.

And of course,

it's only one day or two,

before they realise

that the money is worthless.

What's that?

It's nothing, it's nothing.

It's just my stuff.

Oh dad, don't.

Oh my God!

This is what they were after.

That's a lot of money.

Where did it come from?

They took our Christmas.

We'll take their cash.

- You can't keep it.

- You're going to keep it?

It belongs to the government.

They were going to burn it.

They were going to burn

all this money,

that's a crime if you ask me.

- Definitely.

- But stealing is wrong.

If you steal something,

you have to steal it from somebody.

Who would we be stealing it from?

It's not right!

Damian, my house has

just been ransacked.

I work every second God sends

just to cover the mortgage,

to give you a decent home.

And now it's been wrecked.

I am owed this.

- But Da...

- Go to bed.

Now!

- Do you want a story?

- It's wrong.

- Who says?

- God.

Yeah, well.

Yeah, well what?

- Don't you want to go to heaven?

- Look around you, Damian.

We're on our own.

No one is smiling

down on us Damian.

No one is is looking out for us.

So we're looking out

for ourselves.

- But mam...

- Is dead.

She's dead, Damian.

You'll never see her again.

And neither will I.

And the money, is ours.

We'll take it to town tomorrow

and change it and spend it,

do you hear me?

All of it, because it's ours.

I know you've got it.

It's mine.

And you're going to change

it tomorrow.

And that's a good thing. Ok?

When you come back.

I'm going to call you

on this phone.

Open the front door.

Let me in.

And we'll take the money.

And you won't have

to worry about it any more.

Understand?

You make sure your

phone's switched on.

...fifteen.

You take one side and we'll

take the other and then swap.

- All right.

- Ok change what you can

and what you can't change spend.

Have a ball!

You do realise, you just

kissed goodbye to the money.

Come on let's get cracking.

She's going to run off with it,

you must know that?

- Come on!

- How can she, she's got Damian?

She'll kidnap him, hold him to ransom

for the rest of the money.

No, Anthony,

that's what you'd do. Come on.

Ok, you wait here all right?

It's mine.

We'll have to change more

than this.

- No!

- What?

That's the whole point,

do it in small amounts and

no one will be suspicious.

Look at the queue.

Look at the time.

We'll be lucky to get round

three banks at this rate.

You'll be lucky to stay

out the jail.

- Go on!

- What?

It's just quite

a lot in the circumstances.

It's five thousand quid.

It's the front half

of a Ford Fiesta.

Is this a bank or a sweet shop?
