The Tunnel

What's going on?

Put out a Mayday. We're losing speed.

Do something.

Mayday! Mayday! Mayday!

CD T718, we've lost control of our instruments.

It's like somebody else is flying the plane.

No, no, no. This can't be.

We're gonna reach coffin corner.

We've stopped climbing. We going up or down?

We're going down.

Terrain. Terrain. Terrain. Terrain.

Is this not an attack?

The plane was sabotaged.

The autopilot was remotely controlled

for elavating the plane until the service ceiling was reached.

And was this checked?

In theory you can sabotage the computer system of an aircraft,

but someone must have been onboard.

Maybe someone was.

Maybe.

Unfortunately, the only person who could have helped with the Eurotunnel disappeared two days ago.

Did you mean the abduction of Madeleine Fournier? I don't know.

Maybe a coincidence...

but I want both incidents looked into. Hm.

Were any claims made? No.

If someone could sabotage a plane, they could abduct as well.

We need to find out what happened to Fournier.

Okay. I'll be in England.

Elise...

you cannot tell anyone.

Not even Karl.

* Venez dans mes bras *

* Closer to me, dear *

* Donnez-vous a moi *

* Set aside all fear *

* Restons sans laisser pour l'eternite *

* Yes, you shall be mine *

* Till the end of time *

No, no, it sounds fantastic.

I'll have to talk to my husband.

No, I'm not asking him for permission.

It's a big commitment, we'll need to talk about it.

I've been working for the anti-fracking campaign,

but I do want to get back to my real job.

Yeah, well, I'll let you know.

OK.

Whatever it is, you do need my permission,

and the answer's no.

The big Georgian restoration near Walmer...

Wow! You should do it. We'll make it work.

Yeah!..you don't just make things work by saying you will.

You have to, you know, make them work.

Good point well made.

Karl, don't go all laconic. I know. I know.

I want to get back to work. I get that.

I get that.

I've made up my mind about the CID thing.

They've asked me to lead the Eurotunnel investigation.

Gumtree it is, then.

Police say it's too early to...

I've got to go to work.

The question the investigators will have to answer is this,

how did a modern passenger plane come to just fall out of the sky

into the English Channel?

Bonjour.

How's the kid? Which kid?

The Milkybar Kid.

Chloé Fournier is back with her aunt, but still not talking.

So you're heading up this investigation, then?

Yeah! Started back in CID today.

Are you staying on the Fournier case?

Yes, Olivier still wants me to coordinate with you on this.

What's the news on the plane?

We are not entirely sure for now.

Mechanical failure?

That's one of the options that's being explored.

Terrorism has not been ruled out yet,

so this is still a potential mass-murder investigation.

All CID will be based up here from now on,

whatever other cases you have on your books.

You'll have to put up with the crash investigation teams,

and the French, so it'll be a bit crowded.

But there's no asbestos...and it's nearer the boozer.

Divide the passengers under investigation right away.

And you could delibrate.

Do you think this could be delibrated?

Well, for example Mark Banham was at seat six.

Don't assume the answers are hidden only in something unusual.

Alright...and what kind of answers are we looking for?

During his career Judge Bresson made many enemies.

We are investigating him from his recovered luggage.

Which is...? There wasn't much.

A book, a pencil case and with them were condoms.

Perhaps his assistant was hiding something.

She decided not to embark at the last minute.

Why was that? She lost her passport at the check-in.

Ok.

What is the progress on the Fournier case?

Something should turn up.

Good job. You are making tremendous progress.

Do you think she keeps things hidden from us?

In this case, yes.

I'm spiking. I need to eat.

Last thing I need is a hypo.

What are they saying about the plane?

Mechanical failure.

But the conspiracists are already at work.

Hacking's been mentioned.

Our greatest act. And we do not claim it.

The plane was a job. We got paid.

Now we have the freedom to do this.

We have to shed blood even if it includes our own.

Violence is the only way to make the world pay attention.

I grew up in a shithole estate.

My dad was a trade unionist in a tire factory.

Now he votes for the far right.

I joined the army, saw stuff in Mali you can only dream of,

got fucked up on drugs.

And I have to admit,

I'm also pretty racist.

But you don't have a problem with...

I make an exception for you cos you're hot.

You use words like...

Zionist and Islamist.

For me they're just Yids and goat-fuckers.

And I don't care so much about the rest,

but I'm happy to put a bullet in their hypocritical backs,

for all the shit they cause in the world.

But what made you so fucking angry

that you're prepared to die?

People who talk too much.

He's too old for you.

And when he has no use for you, he will probably kill you.

Nothing has led to more bloodshed than religion.

Today we will be moderate in our response.

Just one of each.

Right, see you later, Mum.

Oi, Aamira, you off to your jihadi wedding in Syria?

France, actually. Ooh la-la!

Bring us some cheap booze from Calais, Yeah?

Yeah, do I look like a kafir, you Western slags?

And jihad means personal struggle,

not just holy war, by the way.

All right, tell the nutters who brought down that plane.

You don't know it was Muslims. Who else? The Hari Krishnas?

You don't know it was anybody. It was just a crash.

It's always the Muslims.

Don't worry, I know it ain't all the Muslims.

Anyway, where's your brother? In bed.

Great. Just where I want him.

Don't drop your bag. It might blow up.

See you later.

Later.

Wait, let me tell Sam. Sam?

What's supposed to happen on these things, then?

We all hold hands and sing Kumbaya!

No, no, it's OK. I met some good people last time.

It's mainly just debates and chatting and stuff.

Oh, my God!

I've seen that priest on telly before!

Benjamin, look at that girl!

Is Louise not with you? Yeah?

You mean Lieutenant Renard? Actually I call her zabko.

It's a common term of endearment in Polish.

It means dear little froggy. Really?

Lieutenant Renard is on duties relating to the plane crash.

Thanks. It's too bad.

Lab tests are back.

The blood found in the underpass belonged to one individual only.

Robert Fournier.

What have you got? The van had a sticker on it.

The fire in the underpass was so intense,

they probably expected the heat to melt it

and wipe away any traces.

They were right. They were wrong.

The fire seared an after-impression

from the plastic of the sticker into the metal of the van.

Like a Hiroshima shadow.

They've got this kit that can sniff it out.

Bits of it, anyway. And then digitally rebuild it.

It was a flag, and bits of lettering.

Part of an N and a tiny bit of an O.

Norway. Nil points.

The letter fragments were from the middle.

They think the word was Kernow

because of the pattern from the flag.

There is no country called Kernow.

Yeah, I agree, some wouldn't. It means Cornwall.

We're more likely to get sightings,

which means better chance of CCTV.

Good.

Yes, that is good. So let's co-ordinate.

We'll put out an appeal for the van tonight.

Hopefully the sticker will jog some memories.

Our hypothesis has to be that he was killed in her abduction.

The results of the blood tests suggest that, certainly.

Given her status, there's an obvious interest in not killing her immediately.

But was she abducted? Killed somewhere else?

We need to find both bodies.

I'm not optimistic about that.
