The Missing

I've found something.

See the boy in the background there?

Oliver's scarf.

Tony. It's there.

What happened in that house?

I don't ask questions, for my safety.

Now I keep seeing him, scared and desperate.

Seeing that man.

~ He was here. ~ The bosses have been distracted.

~ They are transporting something. ~ Sex trafficking.

Antoine!

~ They're members of Caid de Cite. ~ THEY SHOUT

This is what Ziane gave Malik Suri.

As long as you carry that picture, you'll carry your son with you.

Thank you, Sylvie.

I know what it is. I know who it belongs to.

HE SPEAKS RUSSIAN

Let love and faithfulness never leave you.

Bind them around your neck,

write them on the tablet of your heart.

Then you will win favour and a good name in the sight of God and man.

Trust in the Lord with all your heart

and lean not on your understanding.

You've come here today to seek God's help to control

these desires within you.

Because you understand it would be wrong to hurt a child.

And I tell you this - God will grant that help.

Your thoughts are not your actions.

Your sexual desires are not the same as your behaviours.

We are all God's children.

Stay the hour.

You may not have faith,

but you'll find the lessons we teach could be useful.

I shouldn't have come. I'm...

~ I'm... I'm sorry. ~ Why are you leaving?

I'm not an old man...

.. but I feel tired as one.

I thought science would help me to get rid of this sickness

but my body rejected it.

And now I'm here...

.. thinking that God will save me?

Or Jesus will?

If we believe this,

we must also believe that he was the one that made us this way.

Monsters that we are.

It's never too late to make a change.

~ Why don't we just go in and speak to her? ~ No.

What if she goes quiet? Asks for a lawyer? Search warrant?

~ That won't happen. ~ It can happen. Maybe she's involved.

~ No, no way. ~ Trust me, I know what I'm doing.

I did trust you. You slept with my wife.

Tony, just stop it.

There she is.

Wait, wait, wait.

Bonjour, Madame. Nous revenons pour Alain Deloix.

La chambre en face, mais il doit repose...

Where is he?

There.

Alain.

Alain.

Sylvie showed me something recently.

Your sobriety chips.

She keeps them all in a box at the hotel.

One for every year...

.. only one was missing.

Back in 2006, you hadn't had a drink for 12 years.

This was found near the pool where Olly was taken.

It's yours, isn't it?

ALAIN BREATHES HEAVILY

Er... je suis fatigue.

Look at it.

Alain...

regarder. Regarder le.

~ Look at it. Look at it! ~ Please, please. Tony, please!

ALAIN CRIES

What did you do to my son, eh?

What did you do to my boy? Tell me what you did with him!

Tell me! Tell me what you did with him!

Alain.

.. you're dying, aren't you?

Aren't you?

Look, you have nothing to lose by telling us the truth.

Please.

I'm begging you.

I'm begging you.

You had just arrived at the hotel.

You were with your boy.

Hello.

Um, we want to go... here.

~ OK. ~ BELL RINGS REPEATEDLY

Well, it just looks very close on the map, I wanted to check... Oi.

Yes. It is not too far.

Oi, stop that!

~ From this place, go to left, about ten minutes. ~ Uh-huh.

You turn right and voila.

One...

And the body...

You could never have done this alone...

You had help.

No.

Yes.

Yes.

Mr and Mrs Hughes, I am Georges Deloix.

The juge d'instruction assigned to this case.

I assure you,

my men are doing everything in their power to find your boy.

Can you tell us exactly what's happening?

You are in excellent hands. If you will excuse me now...

~ Pardon. ~ Oui.

I thought you might like something to drink.

The machine here is, um....

Who's he?

La juge d'instruction. The investigating judge.

Not a judge like you have in England...
