The Missing

The bosses have been distracted. They are transporting something.

He heard about the storage warehouse.

He says he has more information.

He wants to meet me at eight.

What do you want?

Rini, if I had any other choice I wouldn't be here.

~ Do you know this man? Karl Sieg. ~ No.

Perhaps you know someone who does?

I wanted somewhere near the office I could stay when I'm over.

It's a beautiful little place called Audresselles.

Someone once told me... guilt, it's like a cancer.

You can treat the symptoms, but never the cause.

I've found some things out about Vincent Bourg. He knows Ian Garrett.

The two of them know each other.

What?

Do you mind if I clean here, please?

No, no, of course not.

It's so peaceful here.

Well, we try.

So, you find that you are happy here?

I like to make sure our guests are happy.

Madam?

~ Oh! ~ Voila!

~ Thank you. ~ It's no trouble.

You're French.

Yes.

I went to Paris once - it wasn't for me.

What brings you to Oxford?

Just someone that I used to know.

An old friend?

No, not exactly. I don't even know if he's alive any more...

.. but I made him a promise many years ago and...

I intend to keep it.

Well, you don't hear that every day. Very noble.

You are most kind. But, no, I don't think so.

Darling?

Darling! Are you...?

Ah, that's all I need, eh? Another bloody day at the office.

d Oh, my love

d We pray each day

d May you come home

d And be OK

d For now we'll wait

d For you

d For you to come home. d

I don't know what you expect me to do.

Ian Garrett is a respected local businessman.

And he's connected to Vincent Bourg.

What is your proof? A story?

The exact same story told the exact same way.

I'm sorry, but it doesn't make any sense.

I mean, this guy is helping you.

He has put up a lot of money to encourage people to come forward.

Someone I've never met turns up and throws money at us,

you've got to wonder why.

You must know Mr Garrett experienced a similar tragedy to your own.

His daughter.

I'm sure he felt an emotional connection to your case.

Listen, I'm not asking you to go out and arrest him.

I'm just asking you and Detective Baptiste, please,

to look into Garrett and see if there's any connection

between him and Vincent Bourg, that's all.

Listen, I cannot imagine what you are both going through,

but this... This is definitely not the way to get your son back.

Well, I... I think at the very least it's worth looking into,

even if there's a slightest chance that there could be a lead.

There is a lead. Detective Baptiste is in Paris right now.

I'm joining him today.

What lead?

What's in Paris?

It's... too early to say.

Course it is. Thank you for your help. Come on.

They can't expect us to just sit back and do nothing.

~ We just need to have a word with Baptiste... ~ Give me the car keys.

What?

I need to speak to Vincent Bourg.

Look, the police aren't going to do anything.

Mrs Hughes! Have the police told you anything?

Look, we're both so desperate for the slightest thing,

the smallest hope, but if you accuse Ian Garrett

he could withdraw the reward money.

Em, I swear to you, I heard what I heard,

word for word, the exact same story, told the exact same way

by two people who claim to have no knowledge of each other.

Please. I have to try...

.. for Olly.

~ I'm going to drive. ~ No, no, no, no. I'll do this on my own. You should be back at the hotel.

What, resting? That's what everybody says.

I'm not an invalid. I'll drive.

How do you know he comes here?

He comes here every day.

Have you been following him?

Tony...

Right, I think we should go back. I think...

Wait here.

Tony...

Oi!

What do you want from me?

I already told you, I don't know what happened to your son.

~ Do you know Ian Garrett? ~ Leave me alone!

~ Do you know Ian Garrett? ~ I'm calling the police.

Please.

Please, I didn't do anything.

Ian Garrett's number.

Tell me about Garrett!

Leon called me.

He told me he had information about Oliver Hughes

and, you know, by the time I went to meet him...

So, we've run his phone records.

Shortly before calling me,

Leon received a phone call...

from your brother.

Eh?

~ You think Martin... ~ Yes. ~ .. has anything to do with

some missing child?

Yes.

No... No way.

OK.

If the Caid had anything to do with this child's disappearance,

your brother will know.

You think he told Leon?

That is my hope.

All I ask is that you meet your brother

and find out what he told Leon about Oliver Hughes.

Listen, myself and several other officers will be close by.

Once you spoken with Martin,

we'll get you somewhere far from here, somewhere safe.

And then, I assure you, I will not trouble you again.

Bourg knows him. He knows Ian Garrett.

They've shared things....

Material.

Oh, God.

Bourg's alibi was a lie. Garrett paid for it.

Garrett was worried that if Bourg spent too long in police custody, he'd start talking,

~ reveal who the real Ian Garrett is. ~ I don't understand, did Vincent Bourg take our son?

He swears he didn't, but he's terrified of Garrett.

We need to talk to the police.

No, I'm going to meet Garrett.

He invited me to go and watch the cup final with him,

~ take my mind off things. ~ You're not going to go?

Yeah, yeah. He's coming to Chalons.

We need to be sure. We need to do these things properly.

~ You can't just turn up and... ~ And what?

And do whatever you just did to Vincent Bourg.

What did you do to him? Look at you, you're shaking.

We need to talk to the police and we'll tell them...

Why? You heard Mark, they don't believe us.

~ I want to go there now. ~ I need to look Ian directly in the eye.

Tony, please.

I'm just going to talk to him.

Go to the police if you want, but I'm meeting Garrett.

So these corridors will be just over regulation width.

Excuse me.

Hello?

It's me... Vincent.

Tony Hughes...

.. he knows.

~ I see. ~ 'He beat me.'

Thanks for telling me.

You're not going to hurt her... right?

You said you wouldn't hurt my mother.

And you said you'd keep your mouth shut.

'I'd rather not pay your mother another visit.'

Hey!

Saved a seat for you.

Got you a beer in, too.

Probably a bit on the warm side now.

Cheers.

Thanks for coming all this way.

This wee place is starting to grow on me.

~ How's it going? ~ 1-1.

Zidane penalty, then Italian header.

Pretty... cagey stuff.

You all right, pal?

I know what you are, Garrett.

I know your wee secret.

You shouldn't have gone after Vincent Bourg.

You're out of your depth, sunshine.

Emily told them you paid for Vincent Bourg's alibi.

Better give that lawyer friend of yours a call.

No, Tony...

I don't think so.

I'm sorry, Mr Hughes, but we need you to come to the station.

You're under arrest for assault.

What?

Stand up, please.

Don't be ridiculous. It's not me you're after, it's him.

Stand up, please.

~ What are you talking about? ~ Please. ~ I'm not going anywhere.

~ Mr Hughes, stand up. ~ No, get your hands get off me!

~ It's not me, it's him you want! ~ I'm only trying to help you, Tony.

It's not me you want!

He knows Vincent Bourg!

Garrett knows Bourg. What are you doing with me? He's a paedophile!

I thought you only want information.

This is for your protection.

~ We need to know what's going on inside. ~ Protection?

When we left Romania, we had nothing.

Didn't know where to go, what to do.

We only had each other. My brother looks after me.
