The first 200 lines.
Jesse goes missing 20 years ago.
And then his DNA turns up at a murder scene of a woman called Selena Callaway.
We think she's possibly a prostitute.
- I'm looking for this woman. - Selena was working for these guys.
- That's how she got involved in the scam. - What scam?
They're blackmailing people, taking their names and credit histories.
This was a huge operation.
What did Selena have on her hard drive that was worth killing her for?
You stay away from Alexa.
I got jumped this morning by this guy, Payne.
That's Porter & Starr, that's where Selena Callaway worked.
These can't be coincidences. What's the connection?
Is it something to do with Jesse?
What are we involved in? It scares me.
If I find out what the deal is with this Alexa Mills, I'm gonna be able to get some answers about Jesse.
Selena Callaway's daughter is called Alexa.
My dad's gone missing. You really haven't been trying, have you?
I promise to make amends.
Your dad led the initial investigation into Jesse's disappearance.
Have you checked his old case files?
Where are the files?
- Tough day? - Just get me drunk.
I hope we're watching this together. Laughing.
Somewhere sunny.
Australia, maybe.
Or Florida.
You always wanted to go to Disneyland, as a kid.
If we're not together, then something's probably happened to me.
The information on this memory stick is what got me killed.
But it's gonna keep you alive.
This is what I want you to do.
Morning, Tiger.
Come on, I've got a lot of work going on.
It's my mom's 60th. I don't see her every day.
- Lorraine! - It's Jennifer.
Who's gonna look after the kids?
- Megan can look after herself. - So can I.
The boys can do after school club.
And who's gonna look after dad?
I can't babysit, I've got work.
That's for you to sort out.
When will you be back?
I don't know, Danny. When you sorted it.
Hey, it's Ally. I'm probably on another call, because I'm so popular.
Yeah, it's me. Look, we should head to the park, I wanna check out a new route
Jesse may have taken that day. Just, erm, call me straight back.
Do you wanna get a breakfast smoothie or something?
- Gotta replace those fluids. - I just wanna get to work.
Come on, we hooked up. It's not like we have to get married now or anything.
- How about we never talk about it again? - Speechless, eh?
Hey do you mind if we stop for a sec? I just gotta drop something off for my dad.
Don't be too long, yeah?
Can't bear to be without me?
Hey guys.
I wanted to call but I know that Stuart checks your phone.
- Yeah, but not in a psycho-way. - Right, right.
So that's why he tracked you to my flat last night?
That was my fault. I was pissed and he was just worried.
Look, I thought it would be funny to give you a shock through the window.
Certainly did that.
I'm really sorry.
I was such a dick. Can I just...
take you out for breakfast or something, to make up for it?
I can't today. I'm gonna try and find Alexa.
You're coming in?
Hey, Mercy.
Any sign of Slade?
Nothing, sorry. We could really use him back.
I'm around. What's up?
She has been giving free prison tats in the memory of Britnay,
proper Biro and syringe job.
Now half the kids are feeling rough.
Yeah, that's infected.
Shouldn't that be an "E"?
No, it's "A", for Britnay.
Oh, sorry.
Here, let me have a look at that.
Mercy?
Do you know a girl called Alexa? She's been in in the last couple days. She's got a cast on her arm.
Oh, I think so.
She's definitely not a regular. But I think I've seen her talking to...
Lorna, over there.
I don't know what to say, dad. I mean...
she's funny.
She's hardy, but she's funny.
She's pretty. Oh God, she's pretty, dad.
There we go.
She could probably do with working on her cardio, but...
- Is she blond? - Yeah, why?
Sorry, I was just looking for a glass of water.
Ally, this is my dad, Ron.
Dad,
this is my work mate, Ally.
She's gorgeous.
God, I don't even know my dad's name.
My mom wanted a baby, but she couldn't be bothered with a man.
Clock was ticking, so had had IVF and brought me up on her own.
That explains a lot.
Such as?
Well, you're independent, career-minded.
Looking for a strong man to call "daddy".
That's why you're not in profiling.
Do you want me to drop you off around the corner?
You know, arrive at work separately?
No, that's alright. I'm too hung over to walk.
Nah, I don't know her know her. I knew her from around here.
Do you know where she is?
Did she mention any men at all, like a teacher?
My father teaches at my school.
Do any of you know Mr Kenton Marshall?
- Try the store cupboard. - In case he's doing Alexa again.
This is really important, because she could be in trouble.
Look, I don't know where she is.
But when I first ran away I stayed with mates, yeah?
Until they started getting sick of me or wanted something back.
Maybe she's doing the same.
All that back there, about Alexa, it's just gossip.
Sorry I missed your call. My phone died.
Karl, it's our girlfriend.
- Did I miss anything last night? - No.
Good.
Don't ask.
This is the route that Marosi confessed to.
So if we assume that he was trying to put the investigation off,
then Jesse couldn't have gone that way because of Slade and Pru.
I guess this is the area that we need to be focusing on. Ally?
What's the appeal?
Parents, kids... Why put yourself through it?
Love, duty, genetic hard-wiring.
What's the alternative?
Oh, I don't know.
Self-fulfillment, word travel, career advancement?
At least I get to lie in.
Danny!
Listen...
You do not go in there on your own. Don't you remember what happened last year?
Last year?
His friend's little brother went missing from here.
Terrible.
You worked on that case, didn't you? Jakob Marosi?
That's right. Nasty piece of work.
We're on something similar at the moment. A missing kid.
He could still be alive if we get to him in time.
I'd love to take a look through those files.
Nothing in them.
Marosi is inside.
I know, but the line of inquiry could be useful.
Off the record:
his parents are going spare.
Imagine if it were Danny.
I hid them in my basement.
What did you do that for?
Daniel, how many times...?
Nice try, but we don't have a basement.
When we get home,
you put that in the shed and leave it there.
No kicking against nana's dresser again.
Let's go.
We kept nana's dresser in the basement
of our old house.
Come on!
Okay, road trip everybody!
I'm here.
- I brought food. - Thank you so much.
I've got some apples and a couple of sandwiches.
Thank you.
So I have to go back to class now.
Alexa...
- Get out! - Whoa, whoa...
Get out!
Alexa, my name is Mark.
Get out.
I help out at the shelter sometimes, with Slade.
You know Slade, right? Remember Slade?
- Yeah? - Yeah, where is he?
A friend died and he had to go away.
Let me.
I'm not gonna hurt you.
I'm not gonna hurt you.
I'm here to help.
I'm here to protect you.
From Payne?
And Kenton?
What do you know about Kenton?
I've been hired by Kenton's family
to help find him.
My father's gone missing.
Simon needs a father, he needs his routine.
I really appreciate everything you've been doing, looking for Kenton.
It's all part of the ex-lover service.
But I heard about the two of you, what he's been doing to you.
What are you talking about?
He's in a position of authority and you're underage.
Do you think...
It's not your fault.
Kenton is my dad.
If Kenton is your father, Alexa,
do you know where he is?
I don't mean to be harsh, but his family never mentioned you.
They don't know about me.
