Missing

Alice is dead. Initial reports suggest she started the fire. She killed herself.

The DNA results are back on the remains in the shed.

We ran them against your husband. It's a confirmed match with your daughter.

It's really Alice?

I'm sorry.

She asked me.

She begged me.

It's not Matthew's fault that this happened.

He knows what he's done.

You both do.

Who is this man - Henry Reed?

Why did she need to see him before she took her own life?

Henry Reed made those payments out of guilt

for what they did to my sister.

Henry Reed and his army friend.

A man called "Stone".

She always wanted a family.

It hit her hard, you know?

- Why can't you just leave us alone?! - Calm down.

Oh!

You know what I said, earlier on,

about not seeing something that's right in front of you?

Well, I was right.

There was another girl.

BELL TOLLS

Hey! Hey!

Hey!

Sorry.

- English, yeah? - Yeah. What do you want?

This...

You left it at the cafe.

Thank you.

I'm sorry for earlier.

I talk too much when I'm nervous.

Some people fall silent, some go red, some will sweat - I talk.

It's completely foolish, of course.

What is there to be nervous of?

Just talking to another person...

I'm doing it all over again. Sorry.

Thanks for this.

# Oh, my love

# We pray each day

# May you come home

# And be OK

# For now we wait

# For you, for you

# To come home. #

Ja, ich verstehe. Ja, vielen dank.

Ja, auf wiedersehen.

The desk NCO says Sergeant Stone is not available.

A medical issue, they said.

I hope everything is OK with the baby.

They did not disclose any more.

I feel we should at least talk to her, it's her case.

Well, if you wish to see her, I understand, of course.

No.

No, it's not that. It's just...

Forgive me. Pretend I didn't say it.

Well, we're almost there.

Henry Reed's body was found here.

One shot, into his mouth.

The gun in his right hand.

Forensics all supported Sergeant Stone's conclusion.

He killed himself.

But no indication of why.

Sometimes, there are not.

Sometimes...

What are you thinking?

A British Army officer kills himself.

A few days later, an English girl,

long thought missing, returns.

She goes to the grave of the Army officer

before she sets herself on fire.

Do you believe in coincidence, Jorn?

"Coincidence is God's way of remaining anonymous."

A policeman who quotes Einstein.

You're a rare breed.

Well, if there's a connection, I cannot imagine what it could be.

Henry Reed.

Does he have any family?

Any loved ones in Germany?

His son.

He's a trooper on the base.

Daniel Reed.

Well, I think, perhaps, in the morning,

we should talk to Daniel Reed.

So, your notes say you have placenta praevia...

..and, yes, I can see...

..the placenta is very low in the womb.

With this condition,

some vaginal bleeding

can sometimes occur.

But do you think it was the fall that caused it?

It's nothing to be alarmed about.

But still, I'd like to keep you in overnight.

Are you worried about the baby?

No.

Not worried.

Only...

the baby's heart rate is a little faster than I would like,

so we'll keep you on the monitor

to see if the girl settles down,

OK?

Good morning.

Looks like we are going to spend Christmas Eve together.

And here I am, with nothing to give you.

Daniel Reed hasn't reported in for duty.

INTERCOM BUZZES

- Hallo? - Marlene Loweich?

- Ja. - Ja, Polizei.

Wir wurden gerne mit ihnen uber Daniel Reed sprechen.

Ja.

INTERCOM BUZZES Danke.

Guten morgen. Durfen wir hereinkommen?

Ja.

OVEN BEEPS

Wow.

Wow, it smells wonderful.

I'm training to become a chef.

You certainly have enough saucepans to qualify.

What is this about?

Daniel Reed.

He's your boyfriend, no?

Yes.

Well, he was...

..until yesterday morning, anyway.

What happened yesterday morning?

I woke up and he was gone.

Just like that.

Did he say why?

These last few months,

even before his father died,

Daniel was very distant.

And then, when Henry took his own life, he...

he fell further.

SMOKE ALARM BLARES

Oh, scheisse.

Another failure.

No, it will only be a failure if you stop trying.

Right now, it's experience.

Daniel started to think that his father did not kill himself.

He became paranoid.

He started to talk about Iraq.

He became obsessed with it,

with this period that his father's life spent there.

What happened there?

I don't know, he doesn't know,

but it seemed very important to him.

Did he ever mention Alice Webster

or perhaps a girl called Sophie Giroux?

No.

No. What could Daniel have had to do with them?

Well, we don't know.

We are as in the dark as you are right now, but...

if you think of anything,

anything at all,

any news of Daniel,

if you hear from him, please...

call me any time.

Wherever the hell he has gone,

they can have him.

It's their problem now.

PHONE RINGS

Hello?

How are you?

I'm fine, but...

I'm tired.

It was a long flight.

I'm back in Germany.

OK.

Enough, Julien.

This is enough.

You're ill.

You have a tumour.

You have to understand that,

if you do nothing,

you will die.

That's the choice you're making.

I have to be here.

Why?

Why can't somebody else do it?

Why can't you just let it bloody go?

Celia...

SHE SOBS

That is Alice's necklace.

With the bird, I recognise it.

We found it in the shed,

after your daughter...

It doesn't mean it's the same one.

Alice was wearing it when she went missing.

That third girl, maybe she...?

Forward me the photo and I'll look into it.

What will you do?

I promise, Gemma, I'll do everything I can to find out...

who this girl is.

Me and Sam, it...
