The Tunnel

ls she on the French or the UK side?

No, she doesn't seem to be Eurotunnel staff.

The French are sending a crime unit. The British police will also attend.

Oh!

ls there something wrong, sir?

You know what's wrong.

It was practically in the staff bulletin.

Did it hurt?

No, not at the time.

Bonjour.

- Bonjour. - Bonjour.

Er...

- Our forensic teams are already working. - Sure.

She's been placed. The posture.

- Yes. - And the legs are...

Her head is in France and she's French, so it remains a French investigation.

Steady on, Joan, I'm not looking for a war over it.

My name is not Joan.

Er, you said the victim's French?

An MP was reported missing yesterday. We think it is her.

And how do you think the body was brought here?

We're assuming it must be a French maintenance car.

One of them is unaccounted for and the driver is missing.

All right, we'll just wait for confirmation that we're not needed.

I can confirm that.

From a senior British officer, and then we'll be on our way.

We'll observe from a distance.

Maybe we can learn something, eh?

All right.

- What did they say? - French have it.

We can go and snuggle under our duvets.

No bloody manners, the French.

They're direct. I quite like that.

I should go and give them my details.

Hello?

This is Stephen Beaumont.

This is Veronica Moreno. I've been waiting...

I had business in France.

L just... When can I see you?

I'll meet you in an hour.

Hey, Adam.

- Did you catch them? - Who?

- The bad guys. - Not yet.

Does it still hurt?

Yeah.

Mm.

Did you speak to Adam about helping out more?

He's asleep.

Are you from the charity?

My friend said you would help us.

They've denied your asylum claim?

My whole family, they were murdered by...

I'm not the appeal panel.

I'm just establishing the present situation.

I cannot go back to Colombia.

Our charity has a hostel where you can stay for a short time.

Then we'll consider the options.

Come with me.

Suck you off for a tenner, Stephen!

Tania...

Soup, not smack.

Yeah?

Am I speaking to Karl Roebuck?

Yeah.

Elise Wassermann, French police. We met yesterday.

Yesterday?

No, I don't like marmalade.

What 'vs W?

My wife's talking in her sleep.

She just said, "I don't like marmalade. "

Does she like marmalade?

Well, I thought she did.

That's strange, then.

I wanted to update you.

I thought this was your case now.

The lower half of the body belonged to another woman. We believe she was British.

Why?

A tattoo. With a Union Jack and the flag of Wales.

And the words, "I love you, Mum."

So you need to check out missing Welsh girls with that tattoo.

Right, I'll call you as soon as I'm on duty.

Then I need the name of somebody who can do it now.

Have you ever considered a career in the diplomatic service?

No.

Please call me as soon as you have any information.

Plenty of 'em.

Hold on.

So, Gemma Kirwan.

Mixed race.

Grangetown, Cardiff.

Reported missing by her mother seven months ago.

Please ensure that your handbrake is on and your vehicle is in first gear or park.

For your safety and comfort, we recommend that you stay with your vehicle.

Do not stand or walk between the vehicles during the crossing.

I left some food vouchers and a few other bits to help you get by,

until I find a more permanent solution for you.

You should read this, if you want to know about the mentality of this country.

For my records. I like to remember the people I help.

That's the "deviation". We're not going there.

That's the deviation. That's going to the car ferry. We're not going there.

This is going to...

the car ferry.

Oh, bollocks!

Where are we?

Pardon. Sorry.

All right. Oui, oui, oui. Pardon.

Uh... Capitaine Wassermann?

Er...

This is... third floor.

She is on first floor.

First floor. OK. Oui.

- You have to go down. - Down. Merci beaucoup.

Vous voulez un croissant?

- Non, merci. - No?

Are you on a diet?

- No. - No? Good.

Bonjour.

Comment allez-vous?

So, tell me about this missing girl.

Gemma Kirwan, aged 23, disappeared from Folkestone seven months ago.

I thought she was Welsh.

That's the trouble with people. They won't stay in one place.

Given her profession, it's highly likely we've got her DNA on our database.

And given her profession, it is also likely not much effort was made to find her.

Well, they're a transient bunch.

I imagine there's a few French prostitutes who

haven't been searched for too carefully either.

- Yes, that is probably correct. - Yes... Ooh!

I'm recovering from an operation.

The snip.

The what?

La vasectomie.

More painful than childbirth, apparently.

You got kids?

There are enough kids in this world.

I've got five.

Three different mums, though.

A vasectomy was probably a good idea, then.

Ha!

- Don't touch that! - It's not you, is it?

- How do you know? - She's smiling, for one thing.

No-one keeps a picture of themselves on their desk.

You're a twin.

Nice car.

Yes, I like it.

Good.

I suppose we assume he's dumped the rest of the body elsewhere.

He's taunting us.

Oh, moi aussi.

Who is Alain Joubert?

One of our leading financiers...

and an adviser on austerity measures to the last government.

He is not popular.

Really? How come?

The crisis made him even richer.

I was joking.

Yes, I got that.

You're not really one forjokes, are you?

Sometimes. It depends if they're funny.

The British place a lot of value on humour.

Sometimes it makes you lose sight of things that are more important.

That is just my opinion, I'm not trying to offend you.

No, sure.

I'll bring you up to speed with my

assessment of French national defects later.

I'd be interested to hear your views.

Sorry, my French is very poor.

I'm working on it, though.

Think there was something going on between Marie Villeneuve and your husband?

No. No, she was attacking him in her speeches.

Can't we... this wait until another time?

I insist. Please go inside.

Are you aware Marie Villeneuve is missing?

No.

Please, I can't do this now. Please, let me go.

Sit down, please.

Listen. I have to go and see my husband. He's very stressed.

He might be suicidal. Please.
