It is Christmas Eve, and Jake Peralta is popping out for a last-minute gift. Naturally he ends up shut inside a shop after hours with Boyle and Gina, just as a gang of thieves takes the staff hostage. Which means Jake finally gets to live out his favourite film, and yes, it is that one with Bruce Willis in a vest. Terry is dragged away from his family's dinner to sort it out, and Amy sets out to prove she is every bit as tough as Captain Holt. Fast, silly and endlessly quotable, it is the perfect pick for anyone who insists Die Hard is a Christmas film.
