The Missing (2014–…): Season 2, Episode 6 - Episode #2.6 - full transcript
I'm back in Germany. You have a
tumour. You have to understand that
if you do nothing, you will die.
Gem, I need to tell you something.
There's someone...
Well, some things don't need
to be said out loud, do they?
What the three of us
did to that poor girl.
The three of you?
Who was the third person?
JULIEN:
Your father killed a girl in Iraq.
Leave. Right now.
It's hard, I know,
to find out the ones you love
are not who you thought they were.
JULIEN: I was followed
when I went to the bank.
Someone hoping to steal from me.
We can fix this.
I'm not ready to go.
And when you come back, there's
something I want to show you.
I'm bloody pregnant.
EVE: Kristian Herz's wife Nadia
was found beaten half to death
last night.
She's in a coma.
GEMMA: That is Alice's necklace -
with the bird.
EVE: I recognise it.
Lena Garber?
She was reported missing in 2008.
That's me and Mummy,
in the basement.
I think we should contin...

DOOR OPENS AND CLOSES
Come here.
Oh...
Have you been a good girl?
I had a nightmare.
Oh...
Is it because of what you saw?
I had to protect us.
Because of the bad men? Mm.
Yes, they're everywhere, Lucy.
You know that.
I know.
Can you read me a story?
No, not now, darling.
Daddy has to finish something.
So...
why don't you go back to bed and
try and get some more sleep, huh?
Do you promise the bad man's gone?
Yeah.
I promise.
He's gone.
# Oh, my love
# We pray each day
# May you come home
# And be OK
# For now we wait
# For you, for you
♪ To come home. ♪
DOOR CLOSES
You're back late.
I wanted to show you this.
Eve came by the pool.
We don't need to discuss that.
We just...
We just don't.
I know what you're going to say.
She's pregnant.
What?
I never meant for any of this
to happen.
You never do.
You never think.
You just...act.
You approach everything
like it's the Army.
Don't think, don't question,
just do!
And keep moving on!
I needed, er...
..something.
GEMMA SCOFFS
I needed you.
But you're not here.
Are you?
And if I could take it back,
I would.
All of it, like that.
- I'm so sorry, Gemma.
- Don't you touch me!
GEMMA THUMPS UP THE STAIRS
Miss Stone?
SHE SIGHS HEAVILY
What do you want?
I need your help.
I was hoping to look
at the Army personnel files
from 1991 in Iraq
during the Gulf War.
- Those are classified.
- I know.
But I'm close.
Close to understanding the truth of
what happened with Alice and Sophie.
If I can just see these records...
Why?
I spoke to your father.
- You did what?
- I told you, your father and Henry Reed
committed a crime
when they were in Iraq together.
Oh, Christ, Baptiste,
not this shit again!
When I talked to him,
he said there was a third person.
If I could find out
who this person was...
My father can't remember
who I am from one day to the next.
- Whatever you think he said...
- What harm can it do for me to look?
No.
You don't get to accuse my father
of killing someone
and then ask for a favour.
Do you understand?
Are you listening?
Hey!
JULIEN SHOUTS IN FRENCH
Why were you in Erbil?
What were you doing down there?
It was him...
I'm sorry.
It was never him.
He wasn't real.
But this doesn't change anything.
We both want the same thing,
you and I.
- If we could just help each other.
- You're not well, Baptiste.
You need to go home.
And don't come back.
I'm sorry.

WOMAN ON TV:
Now, the trial of Mr Herz
marks the culmination of a case
that has gripped
the nation of Germany...
- Hello?
- ..and indeed the world.
Last year, Mr Herz was accused
of the abduction
of British schoolgirl
Alice Webster...
Gem...
Mm.
You need to turn that off, love.
You were watching that
when I went to work.
TV: Mr Herz allegedly
held Alice prisoner...
You can't keep calling in sick,
you know?
TV: ..a miraculous escape
in December last year.
When she returned to Eckhausen,
Alice Webster identified...
Gem, you can't.
TV: ..as her abductor and claimed
she's been held with another girl...
It's been a year now.
You can't just keep blaming yourself
for what happened.
TV: A further tragedy
struck the Webster family...
For Alice what did to herself.
..with Alice
taking her own life shortly...
Maybe you should see someone.
TV: The British community...
Can you move?
..really has been shaken to its core
by the events of last year.
Many here will be hoping
that this trial
will finally be justice done
for Alice's family.

Matthew?
Hey, hey, hey, slow down.
Slow down.
Jesus, Matthew...
I didn't know who else to call.
Shit, Dad.
Shit, this is so bad,
I've messed up.
Where are the others?
They've gone.
They told me to leave it, but...
I used your pass.
- They'll know it was me who nicked it.
- You did what?!
Do you know what you've done?
What if something
had happened to you?
You could've died!
You don't care.
You don't care any more!
Just go home. I'll deal with it.
- Really? What are you going to do?
- I'll think of something.
I'll say it was me.
Give us the pass.
What are they going to do to you?
Dad, you can't...
Give me the pass.
And just keep your mum out of this
cos she doesn't need this worry
right now, OK?
OK.
- OK, I won't tell her.
- What I said to you in the hospital,
I don't know how many times I have
to apologise for that.
How many times I have to tell you
I don't blame you
for what happened to Alice.
- Dad...
- But I do.
I do blame you.
And I blame your mum.
But most of all, I blame me.
Because when Alice walked back
into our lives, we weren't ready.
We didn't know...
..what to say
or how to look after her.
I'm sorry.
This'll be on your record.
It'll mess up your career.
Will you buy us a pint?
Let's go for a drink,
like we used to.
Tomorrow night, just me and you.
I know we can't...
start again after what's happened.
But we can try, can't we?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Sure.
Thanks.
KRISTIAN: I've been so worried.
Every day, I've wondered...
will this be the day she wakes up?
I came out of the coma
a few months ago.
And I couldn't work. I couldn't
string a sentence together.
Yesterday,
they finally let me go home.
I'm so...
..so sorry for what happened to you.
People...
I will never understand
how they can be so cruel.
Remember you lost your camera
last year,
a few days before you were arrested?
Turns out it was handed into
lost property at Anstrom Park.
Anstrom Park? Why, I...?
I was attacked before I could
open it. So I only saw it yesterday.
But, darling, I...
I don't understand...
I found pictures.
Kristian...
..pictures of the girl.
But how? I don't understand.
It wasn't me.
Darling, I never...
You must believe me!
There are only city birds
in Anstrom Park.
Why would I go there?
This is somebody trying to make
it seem I'm guilty.
One year now, they have nothing.
No proof.
Only the words of a poor girl,
who was driven to madness
and suicide.
And now,
with the trial weeks away...
this camera shows up,
damning me, out of nowhere.
It's too late.
I gave the camera to the police.
It's up to them now.
People need to know who you are.
DOOR BUZZES
WOMAN ON TV: A source has told me
that a key piece of evidence has
come to light.
PHONE RINGS
This piece of evidence
makes it all but certain
that Kristian Herz will be
found guilty
of the abduction of Alice Webster.
Hello?
'Mrs Webster.'
It's Julien Baptiste.
'Baptiste.'
I heard you weren't well.
'Yes. Unfortunately the last year
hasn't been easy.
'But, you know, we go on.
'Forgive me for calling,
Mrs Webster.'
It seems there is new evidence,
A camera.
Oh.
- Yeah.
- 'A magazine here in France'
re-printed an old interview
with you from many months ago.
In it, you talk about your daughter
and a story she once told
about a rollercoaster.
Erm, Mr Baptiste,
I don't really understand...
'It gave me an idea.
I believe the description'
of the theme park narrows it down
to just one possibility.
I have spoken with Jorn Lenhart,
from the Polizei. He's a friend.
He's going to see
if any further leads
'might come from this.'
But I... I mean, we know
what happened to my daughter.
We know...
..who took her, so...
..what's the point
in digging up the past again?
'Because I still do not believe'
the girl who perished in that fire
was your daughter.
They, er...
..they tested her DNA, Mr Baptiste.
'You know, the DNA test
on the remains in that shed,'
this was conducted
by the British Army.
Not the German Polizei.
'Yes, but what difference
would it make?'
I mean, I'd like to change
the facts, Mr Baptiste.
As much as I'd like to, I can't.
'Detective Lenhart and I
were also looking into a man,
'before my health forced me
to leave Eckhausen.'
This man, Henry Reed,
was a soldier in the Army.
He was murdered, his death
made to look like a suicide...
'And soon after,
'the British Army
are given unprecedented powers
'in an investigation that should
have been German jurisdiction.'
But it was her.
It had to be her.
'Science, Mrs Webster, doesn't lie.
'I would never pretend so.'
But people...people lie
all the time.
What if somebody
'in the British Army
lied about the DNA test?'
Mr Baptiste...
'why would you tell me something
like this?'
Because I am dying, Mrs Webster.
I cannot fight any longer
for the truth.
'You can.
'You know that girl
was not your daughter.
'You, better than anyone.'
SHE TURNS HER PHONE OFF
HE SIGHS
Julien...
you're supposed to be resting.
My body is being poisoned.
I...require distraction.
You mentioned...
..there was new evidence.
Proving what? Guilt?
So it seems.
SHE SIGHS
You have to let it go, my love.
When Jorn Lenhart called last year,
saying that you'd had a fit
in the car and, for a moment...
..I don't know, I stopped
listening, I was so panicked.
I thought he was saying
that you were dead.
It was just for a moment, but...
..but now I know.
I know exactly how it would feel
to lose you.
I don't want to feel
like that again.
You have to put it behind you,
my love.
Focus on getting better.
I spoke to Jorn Lenhart,
you know, like you said.
And, er...
Sorry, please.
Well, I...I found something.
This is the girl who came back.
This is my daughter Alice.
And the girl behind them
is wearing my daughter's necklace.
Remarkable.
Can you print this picture for me?
- It might be of help.
- Of course.
Staff Sergeant Stone is looking into
the identity of the third girl,
along with the German police, so...
- maybe, if they find out...
- Good.
Then there is hope.
But, Mrs Webster,
that's not why I'm here.
It was a tragedy.
There was Henry Reed and, erm...
..the other soldier
was Brigadier Stone.
Eve Stone's father.
I believe he knows more
about your daughter's abduction.
Are you telling me
Brigadier Stone did it?
Only that he was
involved, in some way.
Involved? How?
Oh, love, it's not...
What does Stone know about
what happened to Alice?
The wrong man was convicted
for this crime.
And, yes, I believe former
Brigadier Stone knows something.
And you believe this?
Yeah.
Yeah, I do.
Jesus Christ!
DOOR SLAMS
Oh...!
Do you need to follow him?
No. Erm...
I'm sorry. I'm sorry, carry on.
Brigadier Stone told me
there was a third person
involved in the terrible events
of 1991.
I need to find out who this was.
For that,
I need access to Army records.
The name of every single person
in Stone's unit.
These records are confidential.
But you,
with your husband's connections...
Well, you could find a way
to look at them.
I can't talk to him.
I can't talk to him about
anything any more.
There is another way
of getting those files.
You teach on the camp.
I can't help you.
I'm sorry.
But maybe Eve can help you,
if they find something
to do with this picture.
Eve...
So we sit and we wait
and, er...
we hope.
RAPPING IN GERMAN
What's wrong, Matty?
That French detective
came to my house.
He reckons the guy that used to run
the Army garrison
has something to do with my
sister's disappearance.
- You believe this?
- I don't know. But my mum does.
And the French cop does.
The Army, they always
look out for their own.
So, what are you going to do
about it?
- What do you mean?
- Action, Matty.
Just like me and Axel did
with that bitch.
IN GERMAN:
Well, except
if this French guy's right.
- Then maybe she wasn't involved.
- These Army arseholes,
you know it, Matty,
they keep each other's secrets.
That bitch, this guy...
- What's he called?
- Stone.
Stone.
Probably in it together.
One way to find out.
When, Julien?
When do you say "enough"?
TELEVISION ON
DOOR OPENS
Mr Stone...
do you remember me?
I was watching my programmes.
I wanted to talk with you more
about your time in Iraq.
Who are you?
My name is Julien Baptiste.
I'm a friend of your daughter's.
Leave me alone.
There is nothing to worry about,
Mr Stone.
I just want to share some memories
about the desert.
How did you feel, as a young man,
on operations in Iraq?
Get out!
I don't know who you are...
..but you are addressing
a superior officer!
There were three of you,
that's what you said.
"What the three of us did to that
poor girl."
You and Henry Reed.
Who else?
Show some respect!
Tell me what you know about
the girls in this photo.
I said, get out!
Stand down, soldier!
Henry Reed.
1991.
Who was with you?
Who was it, Mr Stone?
- Give me the name!
- Hey!
IN GERMAN:
I merely wanted to talk with him.
The man got upset. He attacked me.
He...hurt me. You better leave now
or we call the police.
He was confused.
Sir, leave now.
CAR BRAKES SCREECH
HE PANTS
HE RETCHES
Urgh...!
You've failed.
No-one here
believes a word you say.
What are you doing?
To yourself.
To us.
I know.
So come home.
IN FRENCH:
CELIA: You ran away.
IN FRENCH:
But...I had information.
It couldn't wait.
MARLENE: 'Mr Baptiste,
I thought you should know,
'I heard from Daniel.
'It's an e-mail.
'It says he learned something
about his father.'
- What did he learn?
- 'He doesn't say.
'He just talks about the sunset
near some place called Azwya.'
Azwya?
I couldn't lie in a hospital bed
waiting for the devil to take me.
IN FRENCH:
Remy...
You let us go back into
that hospital and wait for you,
thinking you just needed
to summon your nerve.
You know, the surgeon,
the nurses, everyone!
I had to go back in there and tell
them I didn't know where you were!
You ran away!
You ran away for one last moment in
the sun
for the Great Detective Baptiste,
because we're not enough for you!
IN FRENCH:
You're done.
Oh...
Gemma...
I need to speak to you.
Come in.
Have a seat.
I won't be long.
So...
Sam told me about the baby.
Right.
Well...
I'm sick of hearing myself
say sorry.
For all the good it'll do.
But I am.
Are you keeping it?
No.
It must have been hard for you,
back then.
Carrying...a baby for nine months.
Being a mother and then...
Well, then suddenly, you weren't.
I knew what I was letting
myself in for when I agreed.
I wanted to help my sister.
It doesn't make it any easier,
though, does it?
I know what it's like
to lose a child.
What happened to me is...
is nothing like
what you had to endure.
What I'm trying to say is
you shouldn't have to go through
that again.
It's the right thing to do.
GEMMA SIGHS
If you don't want to keep
the baby,
that's your choice.
But if you're getting rid of it
for Sam's sake, or for mine...
Sometimes you're allowed to be
selfish.
Sometimes you have to be.
PHONE RINGS
I am so sorry.
I need to take this.
Excuse me.
Staff Sergeant Stone.
PHONE RINGS
You're late.
The phone was being used.
If you would just get one
for the cabin...
'If we're going to make a life out
there, it has to be off the grid.
'So just...
'So just think, Sophie.'
You ring me at the right time.
Morning. Afternoon. Evening.
Have you got that?
I'm sorry.
OK, then.
'Can I speak to Lucy?'
No, she's playing.
I miss her.
I miss you.
'Well, we'll be together soon.
'In, like, two weeks.
'We're so close.
'So just...'
Just be patient, OK?
'I will.'
- Do you love me?
- 'Yes.'
Good girl.
SLOPS SLOSH IN THE BUCKET
I'll get you a clean one
in a minute.
Here...
Good day?
Yeah.
Lucy drew a picture of you.
Well, she got my nose right, eh?
It stinks in here.
Yeah.
You know...
..you don't have to lock the door,
and then we could use the bathroom.
You can trust me now.
- After everything I've done...
- It's not that I don't trust you.
Or that I want to lock you in.
It's that I want to keep
other people out.
Well, who'd come in?
Well...
..you never know.
You look exhausted, love.
I saw that guy
in the street again today.
Same as before.
He was just...
..just looking at me.
Looking at the windows.
He probably just lives
around here.
He's probably just walking his dog.
Probably isn't good enough.
Probably gets you taken away.
Probably is a fucking tripwire!
We can't live like this.
It's not good for you. Or me.
And it's not good for Lucy.
Before it was...
..simpler.
I thought...
everything we did
after you went to hospital,
I thought it'd mean that people
would stop looking for you.
We could be safe.
We could be a family.
But now, I...
Every time the doorbell rings,
my heart...
feels like it's trapped
in my throat.
So let's go.
Let's go somewhere. And...
- it could just be us, we could be free.
- It's not that simple.
Our lives are here.
We could start afresh.
Take a leap of faith.
And you know I do all this
for you, don't you?
I know.
Good girl.
BARRAGE OF QUESTIONS
MAN: Mr Webster,
will you be at the court?
Hi.
Hey.
You think they're going to be
there all the way through the trial,
- watching us?
- Oh, God knows.
I spoke to Matthew.
- We're going to go for a pint later.
Like we used to, so... - Oh, yeah?
And I've been thinking about
scaling back at work.
You know, give us more time.
Are you listening?
HE TURNS THE HOOVER OFF
What's going on with you?
Oh...
That, er...
That French detective,
he called earlier.
He said that he thinks somebody's
interfered with the DNA test.
He thinks someone's swapped
the samples or something.
- Slow...slow down.
- Maybe I was right.
And maybe that girl living in
our house wasn't our daughter.
And, you know, there's a chance,
there's a chance that she's still
out there somewhere.
No.
- I'm not doing this, not again.
- No.
He had pictures.
He was talking about pictures
of a rollercoaster and...
Do you know how you sound?
You know, cos you've been asleep
at the wheel for this last year.
You can hardly looked me in the eye.
You think it's all your fault.
You're punishing yourself
and you're punishing me.
No. You talk to Baptiste.
Then you'll realise.
Then you'll understand.
We've been through all this, Gemma.
What, so the police were wrong?
That she was living in this house
all this time
and she, what, was lying to us?
- Why would she do something like that?
- I don't know.
I don't know!
But I do know
that something wasn't right.
I said it, didn't I?
Didn't I, when she was here?
You need help.
Seriously.
Because this isn't a way
to battle those demons
running around in your head.
This is sick.
SHE RESTARTS THE HOOVER
He looks like you.
Your uncle.
He was a shit.
Leaving me that cabin
was probably the only decent thing
he ever did for me.
I look like a boy.
You look beautiful.
It makes you look younger.
Why can't you come?
I won't get my pension
unless I wait.
This is what you wanted.
To see the stars again.
Isn't that what you always said
you wanted?
But I don't know
why Lucy can't come with me.
Don't...
Don't you trust me?
You earn my trust
when I say you have.
You know that.
Take this.
Then you can have us there with you.
Hm?
Look, your face is all over
the papers.
If we're going to find a proper way
to live, we have to do it right.
And that means me trusting you
to do this.
IN FRENCH:
Don't do that.
You know I hate it.
Sorry.
Matt, it's me. I'm here. I thought
we were supposed to be meeting.
Obviously not.
Hey.
Can I have another one?
You shouldn't really drink alone.
Says the man drinking alone.
Well, actually, I was supposed
to be meeting someone, so... Mm.
I thought, when I joined the Army,
that'd be the end of all that,
you know, being on my own.
Joining a family of thousands.
Now look at me.
You have a family.
Yeah, well, they're a bit like
yours, you know, not all there.
I'm sorry. I shouldn't have. Sorry.
So you heard about my dad, then?
Nothing stays secret round here
for long, does it?
SHE LAUGHS
Oh!
SHE LAUGHS
IN GERMAN:
Go on, Matty. Talk to him.
What did you do to my sister?
Go on.
What did you do?
I don't know where I am.
Mrs Webster...
..I was surprised to get your call.
This is everything the Army had
on Adrian Stone
and Henry Reed's unit.
Everything that happened on the ops
they ran...
during the Gulf War
should be in there.
Thank you.
I know this couldn't have been easy
to get hold of.
How are you going to find
the third name Stone talked about,
in all those names?
Well, we'll start with those on tour
in this regiment.
Those in Stone's own unit.
Fellow officers that...
..might have...
What?
What is it?
This name. This is no coincidence.
I am not done here, Mrs Webster.
Thank you.
Hey, Dad...
What happened?
You got hurt.
HE GROANS
Dad, you have fractured ribs.
Don't try and move.
You need to rest.
- I don't know where I am.
- You're in hospital.
- Don't try and get up, Dad.
- What's going on?
Dad...
HE STRAINS
IN GERMAN:
- I want to go home!
- Lie back, please.
You cannot go anywhere for now. No,
no, you don't tell me what to do!
Dad, please, you need to rest.
Look, they're just trying
to make you better.
What are you talking about?
It's Eve.
I want to go home.
HE SPEAKS IN GERMAN
Get away from me!
Leave me alone!
I want to go home!
I want to go home!
- Calm down, sir.
- Leave me alone!
Calm down, sir. Leave me alone!
Sir, calm down. Get away from me!
I want to go home!
Everything's fine, sir.
Thank you.
Everything's fine.
Thank you.
Calm down.
Staff Sergeant Stone,
I am sorry to disturb.
I wanted you to know that I'll
be tackling this case personally.
Your father and I
had our disagreements,
but it was a loss to us all
when he had to step down.
Do you have any idea who
might have done it?
The French detective Baptiste
is back in Eckhausen again.
Staff at your father's facility
say his last visitor was Baptiste.
There was shouting
and when the nurses ran in to help,
Baptiste was attacking your father.
Jesus...!
You had dealings with him in 2014,
during the Webster business.
- Do you think him capable of such
a thing? - No. But...
He's not well.
He has a brain tumour.
And yesterday...
..he lost it in the Army cookhouse.
He was hallucinating
and he went for one of the men.
PHONE RINGS
Staff Sergeant Stone.
'Where are you?'
What does it matter? Only yesterday
you told me to go home.
'You should come down to
the station and turn yourself in.'
For what?
For what you did to my dad.
For putting him in hospital.
'Your father?
'I did nothing of the sort,
Miss Stone.'
'I don't blame you.
I just feel sad for you.
'You're not well.'
You're lost.
'I am not lost.'
I know exactly where I am!
Mrs Herz...
I didn't come here to harm you.
My name is Julien Baptiste.
I need to ask you some questions.
- Get out of my house!
- I'm not going anywhere.
Did you set him up, your husband?
For the abduction of Alice Webster?
Of Sophie Giroux? Was it you?
I don't know what you're
talking about?
I am talking about the reason all
of this began in the first place.
Back in 1991,
for almost a month in Iraq,
you were the ranking officer.
Under your command
were Adrian Stone and Henry Reed.
Something happened back then,
did it not?
- I'm calling the police.
- You will do no such thing.
I believe that finding out
the truth of what happened
all those years ago in Iraq
will help explain why
Alice Webster was taken.
And more importantly,
who it was that took her.
You think it was me?
I think we don't have much time.
All right...
..I'll tell you what I know.
tumour. You have to understand that
if you do nothing, you will die.
Gem, I need to tell you something.
There's someone...
Well, some things don't need
to be said out loud, do they?
What the three of us
did to that poor girl.
The three of you?
Who was the third person?
JULIEN:
Your father killed a girl in Iraq.
Leave. Right now.
It's hard, I know,
to find out the ones you love
are not who you thought they were.
JULIEN: I was followed
when I went to the bank.
Someone hoping to steal from me.
We can fix this.
I'm not ready to go.
And when you come back, there's
something I want to show you.
I'm bloody pregnant.
EVE: Kristian Herz's wife Nadia
was found beaten half to death
last night.
She's in a coma.
GEMMA: That is Alice's necklace -
with the bird.
EVE: I recognise it.
Lena Garber?
She was reported missing in 2008.

We don't need to discuss that.

She's pregnant.
What?
I never meant for any of this
to happen.
You never do.
You never think.
You just...act.
You approach everything
like it's the Army.
Don't think, don't question,
just do!
And keep moving on!
I needed, er...

GEMMA SCOFFS
I needed you.
But you're not here.
Are you?
And if I could take it back,
I would.
All of it, like that.
- I'm so sorry, Gemma.
- Don't you touch me!
GEMMA THUMPS UP THE STAIRS
Miss Stone?
SHE SIGHS HEAVILY
What do you want?
I need your help.
I was hoping to look
at the Army personnel files
from 1991 in Iraq
during the Gulf War.
- Those are classified.
- I know.
But I'm close.
Close to understanding the truth of
what happened with Alice and Sophie.
If I can just see these records...
Why?
I spoke to your father.
- You did what?
- I told you, your father and Henry Reed
committed a crime
when they were in Iraq together.
Oh, Christ, Baptiste,
not this shit again!
When I talked to him,
he said there was a third person.
If I could find out
who this person was...
My father can't remember
who I am from one day to the next.
- Whatever you think he said...
- What harm can it do for me to look?
No.
You don't get to accuse my father
of killing someone
and then ask for a favour.
Do you understand?
Are you listening?
Hey!
JULIEN SHOUTS IN FRENCH
Why were you in Erbil?
What were you doing down there?
It was him...
I'm sorry.
It was never him.
He wasn't real.
But this doesn't change anything.
We both want the same thing,
you and I.
- If we could just help each other.
- You're not well, Baptiste.
You need to go home.
And don't come back.

Now, the trial of Mr Herz
marks the culmination of a case
that has gripped
the nation of Germany...
- Hello?
- ..and indeed the world.
Last year, Mr Herz was accused
of the abduction
of British schoolgirl
Alice Webster...
Gem...
Mm.
You need to turn that off, love.
You were watching that
when I went to work.
TV: Mr Herz allegedly
held Alice prisoner...
You can't keep calling in sick,
you know?
TV: ..a miraculous escape
in December last year.
When she returned to Eckhausen,
Alice Webster identified...
Gem, you can't.
TV: ..as her abductor and claimed
she's been held with another girl...
It's been a year now.
You can't just keep blaming yourself
for what happened.
TV: A further tragedy
struck the Webster family...
For Alice what did to herself.
..with Alice
taking her own life shortly...
Maybe you should see someone.
TV: The British community...
Can you move?
..really has been shaken to its core
by the events of last year.
Many here will be hoping
that this trial
will finally be justice done
for Alice's family.

KRISTIAN: I've been so worried.
Every day, I've wondered...
will this be the day she wakes up?
I came out of the coma
a few months ago.
And I couldn't work. I couldn't
string a sentence together.
Yesterday,
they finally let me go home.
I'm so...
..so sorry for what happened to you.
People...
I will never understand
how they can be so cruel.
Remember you lost your camera
last year,
a few days before you were arrested?
Turns out it was handed into
lost property at Anstrom Park.
Anstrom Park? Why, I...?
I was attacked before I could
open it. So I only saw it yesterday.
But, darling, I...
I don't understand...
I found pictures.
Kristian...
..pictures of the girl.
But how? I don't understand.
It wasn't me.
Darling, I never...
You must believe me!
There are only city birds
in Anstrom Park.
Why would I go there?
This is somebody trying to make
it seem I'm guilty.
One year now, they have nothing.
No proof.
Only the words of a poor girl,
who was driven to madness
and suicide.
And now,
with the trial weeks away...
this camera shows up,
damning me, out of nowhere.
It's too late.
I gave the camera to the police.
It's up to them now.
People need to know who you are.
DOOR BUZZES
WOMAN ON TV: A source has told me
that a key piece of evidence has
come to light.
PHONE RINGS
This piece of evidence
makes it all but certain
that Kristian Herz will be
found guilty
of the abduction of Alice Webster.
Hello?
'Mrs Webster.'
It's Julien Baptiste.
'Baptiste.'
I heard you weren't well.
'Yes. Unfortunately the last year
hasn't been easy.
'But, you know, we go on.
'Forgive me for calling,
Mrs Webster.'
It seems there is new evidence,
A camera.
Oh.
- Yeah.
- 'A magazine here in France'
re-printed an old interview
with you from many months ago.
In it, you talk about your daughter
and a story she once told
about a rollercoaster.
Erm, Mr Baptiste,
I don't really understand...
'It gave me an idea.
I believe the description'
of the theme park narrows it down
to just one possibility.
I have spoken with Jorn Lenhart,
from the Polizei. He's a friend.
He's going to see
if any further leads
'might come from this.'
But I... I mean, we know
what happened to my daughter.
We know...
..who took her, so...
..what's the point
in digging up the past again?
'Because I still do not believe'
the girl who perished in that fire
was your daughter.
They, er...
..they tested her DNA, Mr Baptiste.
'You know, the DNA test
on the remains in that shed,'
this was conducted
by the British Army.
Not the German Polizei.
'Yes, but what difference
would it make?'
I mean, I'd like to change
the facts, Mr Baptiste.
As much as I'd like to, I can't.
'Detective Lenhart and I
were also looking into a man,
'before my health forced me
to leave Eckhausen.'
This man, Henry Reed,
was a soldier in the Army.
He was murdered, his death
made to look like a suicide...
'And soon after,
'the British Army
are given unprecedented powers
'in an investigation that should
have been German jurisdiction.'
But it was her.
It had to be her.
'Science, Mrs Webster, doesn't lie.
'I would never pretend so.'
But people...people lie
all the time.
What if somebody
'in the British Army
lied about the DNA test?'
Mr Baptiste...
'why would you tell me something
like this?'
Because I am dying, Mrs Webster.
I cannot fight any longer
for the truth.
'You can.
'You know that girl
was not your daughter.
'You, better than anyone.'

You have to let it go, my love.
When Jorn Lenhart called last year,
saying that you'd had a fit
in the car and, for a moment...
..I don't know, I stopped
listening, I was so panicked.
I thought he was saying
that you were dead.
It was just for a moment, but...
..but now I know.
I know exactly how it would feel
to lose you.
I don't want to feel
like that again.
You have to put it behind you,
my love.
Focus on getting better.
I spoke to Jorn Lenhart,
you know, like you said.
And, er...
Sorry, please.
Well, I...I found something.
This is the girl who came back.
This is my daughter Alice.
And the girl behind them
is wearing my daughter's necklace.
Remarkable.
Can you print this picture for me?
- It might be of help.
- Of course.
Staff Sergeant Stone is looking into
the identity of the third girl,
along with the German police, so...
- maybe, if they find out...
- Good.
Then there is hope.
But, Mrs Webster,
that's not why I'm here.
It was a tragedy.
There was Henry Reed and, erm...
..the other soldier
was Brigadier Stone.
Eve Stone's father.
I believe he knows more
about your daughter's abduction.
Are you telling me
Brigadier Stone did it?
Only that he was
involved, in some way.
Involved? How?
Oh, love, it's not...
What does Stone know about
what happened to Alice?
The wrong man was convicted
for this crime.
And, yes, I believe former
Brigadier Stone knows something.
And you believe this?
Yeah.
Yeah, I do.
Jesus Christ!
DOOR SLAMS
Oh...!
Do you need to follow him?
No. Erm...
I'm sorry. I'm sorry, carry on.
Brigadier Stone told me
there was a third person
involved in the terrible events
of 1991.
I need to find out who this was.
For that,
I need access to Army records.
The name of every single person
in Stone's unit.
These records are confidential.
But you,
with your husband's connections...
Well, you could find a way
to look at them.
I can't talk to him.
I can't talk to him about
anything any more.
There is another way
of getting those files.
You teach on the camp.
I can't help you.
I'm sorry.
But maybe Eve can help you,
if they find something
to do with this picture.
Eve...
So we sit and we wait
and, er...
we hope.
RAPPING IN GERMAN
What's wrong, Matty?
That French detective
came to my house.
He reckons the guy that used to run
the Army garrison
has something to do with my
sister's disappearance.
- You believe this?
- I don't know. But my mum does.
And the French cop does.
The Army, they always
look out for their own.
So, what are you going to do
about it?
- What do you mean?
- Action, Matty.
Just like me and Axel did
with that bitch.
IN GERMAN:
Well, except
if this French guy's right.
- Then maybe she wasn't involved.
- These Army arseholes,
you know it, Matty,
they keep each other's secrets.
That bitch, this guy...
- What's he called?
- Stone.
Stone.
Probably in it together.
One way to find out.

I'm sick of hearing myself

For all the good it'll do.
But I am.
Are you keeping it?
No.
It must have been hard for you,
back then.
Carrying...a baby for nine months.
Being a mother and then...
Well, then suddenly, you weren't.
I knew what I was letting
myself in for when I agreed.
I wanted to help my sister.
It doesn't make it any easier,
though, does it?
I know what it's like
to lose a child.
What happened to me is...
is nothing like
what you had to endure.
What I'm trying to say is
you shouldn't have to go through
that again.
It's the right thing to do.

If you don't want to keep

You can trust me now.
- After everything I've done...
- It's not that I don't trust you.
Or that I want to lock you in.
It's that I want to keep
other people out.
Well, who'd come in?
Well...
..you never know.
You look exhausted, love.
I saw that guy
in the street again today.
Same as before.
He was just...
..just looking at me.
Looking at the windows.
He probably just lives
around here.
He's probably just walking his dog.
Probably isn't good enough.
Probably gets you taken away.
Probably is a fucking tripwire!
We can't live like this.
It's not good for you. Or me.
And it's not good for Lucy.
Before it was...
..simpler.
I thought...
everything we did
after you went to hospital,
I thought it'd mean that people
would stop looking for you.
We could be safe.
We could be a family.
But now, I...
Every time the doorbell rings,
my heart...
feels like it's trapped
in my throat.
So let's go.
Let's go somewhere. And...
- it could just be us, we could be free.
- It's not that simple.
Our lives are here.
We could start afresh.
Take a leap of faith.
And you know I do all this

You know, give us more time.
Are you listening?
HE TURNS THE HOOVER OFF
What's going on with you?
Oh...
That, er...
That French detective,
he called earlier.
He said that he thinks somebody's
interfered with the DNA test.
He thinks someone's swapped
the samples or something.
- Slow...slow down.
- Maybe I was right.
And maybe that girl living in
our house wasn't our daughter.
And, you know, there's a chance,
there's a chance that she's still
out there somewhere.
No.
- I'm not doing this, not again.
- No.
He had pictures.
He was talking about pictures
of a rollercoaster and...
Do you know how you sound?
You know, cos you've been asleep
at the wheel for this last year.
You can hardly looked me in the eye.
You think it's all your fault.
You're punishing yourself
and you're punishing me.
No. You talk to Baptiste.
Then you'll realise.
Then you'll understand.
We've been through all this, Gemma.
What, so the police were wrong?
That she was living in this house
all this time
and she, what, was lying to us?
- Why would she do something like that?
- I don't know.
I don't know!
But I do know
that something wasn't right.
I said it, didn't I?
Didn't I, when she was here?
You need help.
Seriously.
Because this isn't a way
to battle those demons
running around in your head.
This is sick.
SHE RESTARTS THE HOOVER
He looks like you.
Your uncle.
He was a shit.
Leaving me that cabin
was probably the only decent thing
he ever did for me.
I look like a boy.
You look beautiful.
It makes you look younger.
Why can't you come?
I won't get my pension
unless I wait.
This is what you wanted.
To see the stars again.
Isn't that what you always said
you wanted?
But I don't know
why Lucy can't come with me.
Don't...
Don't you trust me?
You earn my trust
when I say you have.
You know that.
Take this.
Then you can have us there with you.
Hm?
Look, your face is all over
the papers.
If we're going to find a proper way
to live, we have to do it right.
And that means me trusting you
to do this.
IN FRENCH:
Don't do that.
You know I hate it.
Sorry.
Matt, it's me. I'm here. I thought
we were supposed to be meeting.
Obviously not.
Hey.
Can I have another one?
You shouldn't really drink alone.
Says the man drinking alone.
Well, actually, I was supposed
to be meeting someone, so... Mm.
I thought, when I joined the Army,
that'd be the end of all that,
you know, being on my own.
Joining a family of thousands.
Now look at me.
You have a family.
Yeah, well, they're a bit like
yours, you know, not all there.
I'm sorry. I shouldn't have. Sorry.
So you heard about my dad, then?
Nothing stays secret round here
for long, does it?
SHE LAUGHS

What did you do to my sister?
Go on.
What did you do?

This is everything the Army had

Everything that happened on the ops
they ran...
during the Gulf War
should be in there.
Thank you.
I know this couldn't have been easy
to get hold of.
How are you going to find

in all those names?
Well, we'll start with those on tour

I want to go home!
- Calm down, sir.
- Leave me alone!
Calm down, sir. Leave me alone!
Sir, calm down. Get away from me!
I want to go home!
Everything's fine, sir.
Thank you.
Everything's fine.
Thank you.
Calm down.
Staff Sergeant Stone,
I am sorry to disturb.
I wanted you to know that I'll
be tackling this case personally.
Your father and I
had our disagreements,
but it was a loss to us all
when he had to step down.
Do you have any idea who
might have done it?
The French detective Baptiste
is back in Eckhausen again.
Staff at your father's facility
say his last visitor was Baptiste.
There was shouting
and when the nurses ran in to help,
Baptiste was attacking your father.
Jesus...!
You had dealings with him in 2014,
during the Webster business.
- Do you think him capable of such
a thing? - No. But...
He's not well.
He has a brain tumour.
And yesterday...
..he lost it in the Army cookhouse.
He was hallucinating
and he went for one of the men.
PHONE RINGS
Staff Sergeant Stone.
'Where are you?'
What does it matter? Only yesterday
you told me to go home.
'You should come down to
the station and turn yourself in.'
For what?
For what you did to my dad.
For putting him in hospital.
'Your father?
'I did nothing of the sort,
Miss Stone.'
'I don't blame you.
I just feel sad for you.
'You're not well.'
You're lost.
'I am not lost.'
I know exactly where I am!
Mrs Herz...
I didn't come here to harm you.
My name is Julien Baptiste.
I need to ask you some questions.
- Get out of my house!
- I'm not going anywhere.
Did you set him up, your husband?
For the abduction of Alice Webster?
Of Sophie Giroux? Was it you?
I don't know what you're
talking about?
I am talking about the reason all
of this began in the first place.
Back in 1991,
for almost a month in Iraq,
you were the ranking officer.
Under your command
were Adrian Stone and Henry Reed.
Something happened back then,
did it not?
- I'm calling the police.
- You will do no such thing.
I believe that finding out
the truth of what happened
all those years ago in Iraq
will help explain why
Alice Webster was taken.
And more importantly,
who it was that took her.
You think it was me?
I think we don't have much time.
All right...
..I'll tell you what I know.
