The Tunnel

* 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 *

You alright? Yeah.

The boat's registered to a French fisherman.

Here.

It's a mess isn't it?

Eric Desprez.

I expect Monsieur Desprez...

had enough of the quotas and fancied the insurance. No?

Monsieur De-what's-his-face is safely tucked up in bed.

The boat was stolen yesterday.

So?

If it hadn't been for an anonymous three nines call...

there'd be nothing left of the boat.

So why would someone do that?

Nick a boat and then torch it in...

the middle of the English Channel...

and then phone it in?

Is that a toy car?

Why aren't forensics here?

You'll have to ask the governor.

The boat's going back to France later today.

It's alright!

Bring him up. There we are, there.

Let's get this off.

Christ alive! Someone's cut out his tongue.

I'm gonna get you!

First one to find a perfect shell for Daddy.

Go!

Go on!

Is Theo playing?

Theo's trying to read.

Go on...

Off you go. I can see one! I can see one!

I can find one, I can find one!

There's one!

I'm gonna get you, I'm gonna get you!

What are you...where did you get that? Take that off. Take that off.

Where did you find that? Over there!

You can't keep that darling. Come on.

What's your name?

You understand?

You're not in trouble for getting on the boat.

I just want to find whoever it is that hurt you.

What happened to the children?

Alright. You heard of knocking? just wait.

I don't think we're gonna get anything out of him. He's terrified.

Yeah. Yeah.

Well he should be.

Interpol have found a match on his...

finger prints. He's wanted in France.

He's not a migrant, he's a trafficker.

Yeah but there were children on board.

You've got no proof of that.

There's a toy, there's a child's shoe.

You don't think a known trafficker...

would make that trip without some sort of cargo?

He's Calais's problem, not ours.

Either they swam for their lives or someone took them.

French boat.

French trafficker. They're both going back to France.

Let's hope they're washed up on a French beach then.

I am sick of dealing with the...

shower of shit we get to wade through...

because those idiots can't police their borders.

He's on the shuttle the second he's well enough.

Out of sight, out of mind.

Hello. Hello.

Hey, stranger!

My old friend. Long-time no see, how are you?

DCI Roebuck again?

Commander Astor Chaput. I heard you were coming.

Hello. Please.

Okay. Catch you later.

Thank you.

Can I get you something to drink? Coffee?

No. No.

No? Thank you.

This is about Dibra, no?

Yes.

You want the organ grinder surely, not the monkey.

I am Commander now. So, how can I help?

Whoever Dibra was trafficking...

they've not yet been found.

I wasn't aware there was proof he was trafficking anyone.

Not proof, but plenty of suspicion. I'd like to interview him.

Once we've charged him with the theft...

of the boat he's being sent to Paris.

Can I have a couple of hours with him before he goes?

It's for of fences committed on British waters.

No problem. Thank you.

Though I warn you...

getting him to tell the truth...

when he had a tongue was hard enough.

Can I borrow Elise?

Oh yeah of course, sure. Yeah.

Thank you.

Seriously?

You're not even gonna say Hello?

Hello.

What have I done? I voted in.

What are you doing here? Bought you a croissant.

And I need your help.

Well I've got work to do.

We have a boat load of missing people...

and a mutilated child trafficker.

How about a pain au chocolat?

Until I've had my tooth fixed it's best to avoid eating anything sweet.

What happened to your tooth?

Did you bite someone?

Your boss said you could work with me.

He doesn't seem to be that concerned about human trafficking.

He's very concerned actually.

He got rid of the dedicated trafficking team...

so there's less trafficking arrests and the statistics...

show that the problem has decreased.

The traffickers are still there, there's...

less police officers to arrest them...

but on paper it looks like...

he's twice as efficient as I ever was.

Elise? What's he doing with your job?

I knew you'd do this.

Everyone else has managed to respect my decision.

We both know you were trafficking people on that boat?

Who were they?

We both know you were trafficking people on that boat.

Who were they?

What were their names? What were their names?

Did you even know their names...

or they just financial fucking transactions to you?

Did you even know their names...

or were they just financial fucking transactions to you?

What happened to the people on the boat?

What happened to the people on the boat?

Were there children on board?

Where there children on board?

Feel free to chip in any time.

No comment.

What's going on Elise?

If I wanted a translator I would've asked for one.

Well even if those kids are dead, they belong to someone.

And that someone deserves to know what's happened to them.

Lights out for eight thirty, book worm.

Okay. Na-night.

Maya? I'm home.

Hi.

Now?

Okay.

She wants to stay with you. I know.

And every part of me wants to hold on to her...

as tight as I can...

but I'm scared if I do that...

I'll frighten her off forever. You know?

What makes you think I'll do any better?

Well you can't do any worse.

I think she needs you, really.

You moved out and then her Grandpa got sick.

And, it was just too much loss really.

How are you doing?

You know.

And you?

Yeah. You know.

Jesus! Isla! How many times?

It leaves marks on the glass.

Marinka only cleaned today.

Can't you sleep?

Is Daddy home? Not yet.

Back to bed. Off.

You wanted to see me?

I have a case for you.

But I'm helping Karl Roebuck.

You can do both, surely?

I've found a lead on the trafficking...

case, and Karl's on his way to see me now.

Ah, those English.

They want to have their cake and eat it, with a Brexit cherry on top.

Your Karl, we're going to teach him to share a little.

You may be working with him, but you work for me.

The pest control guys...

think that someone deliberately put the rats

into the tunnel's drainage system.

Can you access the drainage system from the outside?

Yeah, it leads directly to a sewage works.

And the victim?

Evelyne Chapelle.

What was she doing here?

There was a problem with the lights. She was checking them.

Find out if someone has tampered with the fuse box.

The rats may have chewed through the wiring. Go and check.

Okay.

How is she?

Intensive care.

So what's the emergency?

Finish all your paperwork?

Commander Chaput probably...
