looking for help with something outside my comfort zone

In cell A1 in workbook "result " I need the contents of Cell B20 from workbook "example", worksheet "show" when it matches the contents of cell B2

Normally I would use VLookup

But the cells are offset, ie the target cell/matching cell is in A3, and the answer cell is B20

Any ideas/views appreciated.....
