MIRZA BARZANI: I was just a boy when they came to my village.
- Who? - Henry Reed.
With his Army friend, a man called Stone.
It's Brigadier now, Nadia.
Sorry - force of habit.
EVE: Do you know Mrs Herz?
STONE: I have had the pleasure. Back in Iraq, she was a mess.
Who was with you? Who was it, Mr Stone?
- Give me the name! - Hey!
He attacked me. He hurt me.
He was confused.
NADIA: I found pictures, Kristian. Pictures of the girl.
People need to know who you are.
CELIA: No one here believes a word you say.
- What are you doing? - I couldn't lie in hospital
waiting for the devil to take me.
What did you do to my sister?
Go on!
You got hurt. You have fractured ribs. Don't try and move.
You should come down to the station. Turn yourself in.
For what you did to my dad.
- You're lost. - I'm not lost, Miss Stone.
I know exactly where I am.
I believe that finding out the truth of what happened
all those years ago in Iraq will help explain
why Alice Webster was taken.
And, more importantly, who it was that took her.
NADIA: I'll tell you what I know.
This was us back then.
Me, Henry Reed, Adrian Stone.
Christ... I don't even remember this photo being taken.
Why do you keep looking out there?
Please keep talking.
Tell me what happened with Adrian Stone and Henry Reed.
Stone talked about "the three of us." Who did he mean?
You know what I'm talking about.
Don't you, Mrs Herz?
I have a witness still in Iraq, Mirza Barzani.
I can take this to the military courts,
I can take it to the press.
But time is not on my side.
And I want the truth.
I've never told anyone this.
Then is it not time that you did?
NADIA: My time in the Gulf was...difficult.
I was promoted too soon,
younger than most people I was commanding.
Drinking the days away, not sleeping, wired.
Years later, I was diagnosed with Gulf War Syndrome.
But at the time...
At the time, I just shut my mouth, like a good soldier.
Ma'am.
Captain Stone and Captain Reed to see you, Ma'am.
Wait.
Send them in.
Captain Stone, the Major will see you now.
Yeah?
Lieutenant Gettrick's been outside the wire four days now.
We need to take some troops and look for him.
- He's gone walkabout. - Isn't that what you're doing?
Banging the locals before you go home to wives and girlfriends?
With respect...
With respect, Adrian, he's a big boy.
He knows we're being relieved in two days.
He'll come back when he remembers and realises
just how many STDs he's racked up.
I don't need more of you
buggering off to indulge yourselves.
Stay put. That's a bloody order, OK?
- But, Ma'am... - I didn't ask
for your opinion, Captain Stone.
Get out.
Reed and Stone came to me for help, looking for Adam.
I told them no.
I thought he was out having fun like the rest of them.
If I'd had any idea...
The war was over but it was far from safe.
But Adrian was always a reckless bastard.
He took Henry Reed and went out to find Adam Gettrick,
against my orders,
with no back up and only each other for protection.
- Relax. - Why?
First we jump the wire then nick a translator's car to do it.
- You medics worry too much. - You don't worry enough.
REED: Do you even know where he went?
STONE: There was a house he showed me on patrol,
a girl he was seeing.
We start there, find out what the girl knows.
American? British?
I'm Captain Stone.
I'm looking for my friend, Adam Gettrick.
Leave it.
I find him in bed with my daughter.
You know how old my daughter? 13.
And I tell him, "Get out," just like I tell you.
And he ran off?
I tell him, "Never come back."
OK, then.
- Jesus. - See that tattoo on his hand?
- Republican Guard. - So?
The war's over.
I'm just wondering.
A guy like that finds Adam with his 13-year-old daughter
and he just lets him go?
13. Christ, did you have any idea...
Of course I didn't!
13's not much older than Eve.
We can't take his word for it, not someone like that.
We need to get a look inside that house.
REED: Adam could be shacked up with someone else.
You saw how he acted back there. Do you really believe that?
Look, if you're right...
if that guy's done something with Adam, then...
- we're out on our own. - Adam's one of us, Henry.
If he's in trouble, he needs our help.
I say we wait.
- Wait for our chance to get in. - How long?
As long as it takes.
♪ Oh, my love
♪ We pray each day
♪ May you come home
♪ And be OK
♪ For now we'll wait
♪ For you, for you
♪ To come home
(Voices arguing)
(Shouts angrily)
Maybe we should go after her, ask her about Adam.
Hold on.
(Insects chirping)
I say now's our chance to get in there.
While he's still inside?
Well, he's not going anywhere and we need to get in.
If Adam had really been turned away,
he would have come back to camp by now.
This is wrong.
This is all wrong.
That's why we're here.
To make whatever this is right.
(Dog barks in distance)
Come on.
(Door creaks)
Reed.
(In Arabic)
STONE: Get the hell out.
Back off, Stone.
(Continues speaking in Arabic)
STONE: (Whispers) Reed, here.
(Breathing heavily)
Jesus.
(Light switch clanks)
Can you hear me?
Oh, Jesus.
Bloody hell, Gettrick. Let's get you out of here, eh?
(Gettrick grunts)
Oh, Jesus.
He's barely breathing. We must see the extent of his injuries.
Help me put him on his side.
Can you hear me, Adam?
- Stone? - I'm here.
Me and Reed. You're gonna be OK.
(Faint clattering)
Jesus Christ!
(Metallic clattering)
(Weakly) The key... he has it.
- We need to get out of here. - I know.
- Get him on his feet. - Come on.
All right, I've got you.
No one can know we were here.
(Gettrick cries out)
(Explosion from inside)
She was 13! What the hell was he thinking?
STONE: Leave off!
Where... Where is the rest of the unit?
We went to Nadia. She ordered us to stay put.
- (Explosion) - Come on. We've got to go!
I've been gone four days!
That bitch has slept through the last week.
Why would she give an order like that?
Do you want me to die out here?
Four fucking days!
Should have had people looking. She's meant to protect us!
We have to get out of here!
(Gettrick wails)
We decided it would be best not to let Command know
what had happened to Adam.
If they learned how I'd been running the camp,
what a shit show I'd made of it...
I let them all run riot.
And then when Adam Gettrick needed me, I didn't send help.
Adam Gettrick.
The third person Stone spoke of is Adam Gettrick.
He got taken on my watch.
That's all that you know?
What do you mean?
Mirza, the boy they let escape from Iraq.
He told us everything he saw -
the events that followed, after what happened in that house.
And you should know the truth.
(Boy shouts in Arabic)
No, no.
It's OK, it's OK.
Stone, there's another girl in the house!
(Stone gasps)
(Flames crackling)
(Explosions, masonry falling)
(Crashing masonry)
(Sobs)
I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
I'm so, so sorry.
(Explosion, masonry crashes)
We have to go now!
(Gettrick grunts)
What's your name? Your full name?
Mirza Barzani.
STONE: Reed!
(Cries out)
(Cries continue)
How old was the little girl?
Nine years old.
But nobody believed it was done by English soldiers
in the middle of the night.
He was an imaginative child, the father a drunk.
It was thought to be an accident.
They told me what had happened to Adam.
They told me what they did to the man who hurt him.
And I kept quiet.
You knew they killed a man and you said nothing?
Men had died.
Better men than the one they killed - one of Saddam's.
And like I say, I wasn't there. I mean, I was, but I was...
I was in pain and I was...
numbing it with drink and pills.
My mind had gone AWOL.
If it had got out, it'd undo everything we did out there.
I gave them an alibi.
But I...
I had no idea...
...no idea about the girl, I swear.
Tell me about Adam.
He erm...
He got injured in Afghanistan in 2001.
They offered him a medical discharge,
but he chose to stay with the Army.
They moved him sideways. Ended up as press liaison.
Have you ever had any sense of...
...another side to him?
His life?
That he might be capable of taking someone?
I don't understand.
Taking who?
Alice Webster and Sophie Giroux.
But my husband...
...they found him guilty, it was...
There were pictures on the camera, it was my husband.
Your husband was a prominent figure in the community, yes?
Did Adam Gettrick ever come to the shop?
Erm... yeah... sometimes, I suppose.
He would have known your husband's hobby - birdwatching.
Most people did.
So he knew your husband was often away.
And it seems likely he bore a grudge against you,
that he blamed you for what happened to him.
You're saying he framed my husband?
Well, that can...
That's impossible. It can't be true.
Just because you're tortured it doesn't mean...
you abduct two little girls to keep prisoner in your house.
Of course not.
Adam Gettrick was a monster long before he entered that basement.
I've told you everything I know.
Now get out of my house.
I am sorry to have upset you, Mrs Herz.
You should know only that I believe your husband.
And perhaps with luck, he will one day be a free man.
I said, get out!
(Door opens and closes)
(Sobs)
(Footsteps descending staircase)
I'm just going down the shops. Do you want anything?
No.
So... do you want me to leave the house? If we're...
I meant to show you this the other day, but...
Well.
Now look at that...
...and tell me that I'm crazy.
Where did you get this?
Julien Baptiste and Jorn Lenhart...
It doesn't matter where it came from.
Look at it.
Look at that and tell me that that's not our daughter.
That's our girl.
This girl sitting next to her, that could be anybody.
No. No, Sam.
That is Alice.
And that girl came back to live here in our house.
That's an imposter.
You're seeing what you want to see.
And you're not?
You know I'm right.
You know I am, deep down you must do.
And even if you didn't in the beginning,
by the time she set fire to that shed, you knew.
Why are you doing this to yourself?
It's destroying you.
I told Eve to keep the baby.
Why?
I don't understand. This is her decision.
Why would you do that?
This is your mess.
It was an accident.
Yeah, you didn't mean to get her pregnant.
Sure.
I know that.
You didn't mean to have an affair right under my nose.
- Gem... - But it happened.
And there are consequences.
You know how much I wanted another baby.
Maybe if we'd got out of this place...
I wasn't ready to leave.
I don't know if we can come back from this...
...but I wanna try.
I'm sorry.
But it's too late.
(Door opens and closes)
GEMMA: Matthew?
- What's wrong? - I'm just tired, that's all.
Who were you out with last night?
- A friend. - Yeah, but which friend?
All of a sudden you give a shit?
Hey. Hey!
What's that? What's happened?
You done? Cos I'm tired.
(Footsteps approaching)
Mr Baptiste.
Please. Sit.
We don't have long.
What?
Take a seat, Mr Gettrick.
You are not a stupid man, so I will not treat you as such.
To do what you've done all these years,
to pull the wool over the eyes of the world is no small feat.
Why did you tell Sophie to pretend she was Alice Webster?
- I'm sorry. I'm not sure... - We don't have time for this.
I need to know if the real Alice Webster is still alive.
You've made a mistake, Mr Baptiste.
I only came down here as a courtesy.
I know what happened back in 1991 in Iraq.
I know your taste in women...
...or girls, I should say.
I know you had access to everything we did
during this investigation.
They arrived sooner than I had anticipated.
With respect...
it sounds like you don't have a damn clue, Detective.
Aren't you seeing things...
...hallucinating?
I heard what you did at the cookhouse.
Yes.
I am seeing things clearly for the first time in a long time.
Your mind is more diseased than my own.
Tell me, what have you done with Alice?
Why would you say such an awful thing to me?
What gives you the right to accuse me?
I know it was you.
I'm coming.
But I ask that you take this man into custody also.
On what grounds?
On the grounds that he abducted Sophie Giroux and Alice Webster.
I honestly have no idea what he's going on about.
He asked to see me and then he's just started accusing me.
Started calling me Kristian Herz,
like he thinks I'm him or something.
You need to come with us. We need to ask you some questions.
You're making a big mistake, Sergeant.
It's not a request.
I'm coming.
Don't touch me!
Staff Sergeant Stone has informed me you are not well,
that you are seeing things that aren't there,
that there have been aggressive outbursts.
I'm of sound mind, believe me.
But this is a matter of some urgency.
The abduction of Alice Webster -
I don't believe Kristian Herz to be responsible.
I believe it was another man - Adam Gettrick.
He is the press liaison for the garrison.
Mr Baptiste, you went to speak with Adrian Stone last night.
Listen, whatever it is you think...
And you were ejected for aggravating him.
He's in hospital now.
His injuries are severe.
You cannot think me responsible.
You are a detective. You tell me how this looks.
You were the last to see him.
You were found physically harassing him.
He attacked me! I was defending myself.
So that is your position? You were defending yourself?
- I didn't put him in hospital. - He says you did.
He is confused!
With respect, Mr Baptiste, so are you.
Confused and angry.
You need to bring in Adam Gettrick.
Alice herself identified Herrn Kristian Herz.
It wouldn't be the first thing that girl lied about.
Mr Baptiste, I have great respect
for all the work you have done.
And what happened last night,
I do not believe it was intended. But you are ill.
The courts will understand that.
But first you have to confess to what you've done.
Arrest me or bring me a lawyer. Everything else is wasting time.
Very well, Mr Baptiste.
You'll be our guest this evening.
(Julien shouts out in French)
(Replies in German)
Imbecile!
(Ringing tone)
Yeah, I need you to get me a number.
Celia Baptiste.
(Birdsong)
SAM: We don't have to do this.
They're being redeployed tomorrow, Sam.
They're your men. You know we have to do this.
We go in, show our faces and then leave.
Nobody needs to know about us, all right?
Oi, oi!
(Cheering)
Picked a great day for it, eh?
(Buzz of chatter, music playing)
(Sizzling)
Sorry.
I didn't know you were gonna be here.
Melissa and I are old friends.
- We were at Aldershot together. - Oh, right.
Yeah.
I should probably just...
We're going to have to learn how to deal with each other.
Especially when you start showing.
It shouldn't be complicated though, cos...
it's over between me and Sam, so...
Just so you know - that doesn't mean that me and Sam will...
I really don't care if it does, Eve.
Well, I do. And I'm sorry.
It sounds...
But...
I shouldn't have come.
My dad's lying in a hospital bed
because a couple of nights ago,
someone came and beat him half to death at the care home.
Christ.
Do they know who did it?
I'm sorry.
Excuse me.
(Sighs)
What's wrong, Lucy?
I left Mr Squibbles at home.
Because you made us leave so quickly.
Well, we can't go back.
We're going to the new house sooner than we thought.
- You'll like it there. - I like Mr Squibbles.
Well, we'll find you a new toy.
- It won't be the same. - It is if I say it's the same.
OK?
Do you think she's OK?
She's fine.
Sorry. Sam? Sam, can I have a word?
What is it?
Brigadier Stone was attacked.
- Is he all right? - Well, he's in hospital.
But on the same day, Julien Baptiste came by
and told me that...
He told me he thought Stone was involved in Alice's abduction.
- Why would he say that? - Matthew heard the whole thing.
Then he went storming off to see those Adler boys.
What, you think...
What are you saying?
You know the reputation those Adler twins have got.
There are rumours they put Nadia Herz in hospital.
You think Matthew assaulted him? You think he'd do that?
You know what he's like these days. You saw his hands.
The way he went off- honestly Sam, it does, it makes sense.
(German rap music plays)
Matthew?
(Music volume is turned down)
MATTHEW: What?
Can you come downstairs, please?
Now.
(Footsteps approaching)
SAM: Sit down. - I'm fine here.
Sit down.
What's happened to you, Matthew?
What's happened to me? Take a look at you both.
Those men you're hanging around with, the Adler twins...
They're my friends. And anyway, I'm an adult...
You're an adult who lives in our house and you're our son.
- We're trying to help you... - (Both talk over each other)
Stop it!
Christ.
Now, what happened to your hand?
I cut it.
I broke a pint glass.
Is that how you got the bruises on there?
You overheard Baptiste telling me he thought Stone
was involved in Alice's disappearance, then stormed out.
And you went to the only place that you ever go to.
- To see those Adler boys. - So?
SAM: So Brigadier Stone is in hospital now.
And you think I had something to do with it?
Well, did you?
This is it, isn't it?
This is who I am to you.
I'm just the monster that locked his sister in the shed to you.
The one that goes around putting old men in hospital.
- Matthew... - What if what you said's right?
What if he did have something to do with Alice being taken?
And you're all sitting around doing nothing.
What then? Well, I'm a hero, aren't I?
So you admit it?
You've been following orders all your life,
from the headmaster, from your superiors,
walking the line, ticking the boxes
and where's that got you?
- That's enough. - You're miserable.
You're lying to each other.
You know he's screwing someone else, right?
So before you go round asking what's happened to me,
why don't you take a look at yourselves?
(Door opens)
ENGEL: Mr Baptiste?
Mr Baptiste!
You're free to leave.
You've kept me for... For what?
So you might find evidence that does not exist?
Before you leave, there's somebody to see you.
If it is all the same to you...
Eve Stone called you?
Mm-hm.
She's worried about you.
Don't.
If there is something you can solve,
there is no use in worrying.
And if there is something you cannot fix,
there is still no use in worrying.
It won't help you.
(Sighs)
How could you do this to us?
How could you walk away from that operation?
I wasn't walking away from anything.
I was walking towards something else.
Towards some kind of resolution
for two little girls whose lives were stolen from them.
I was walking towards something
I thought was bigger than myself.
You're a brilliant, loving man.
You're an amazing detective
and you've achieved incredible things.
But right now?
You're a child, Julien.
A selfish child.
You know, you'll storm into a building
armed with a loaded gun,
risking your life to make an arrest,
but you won't take the same risk for the people who love you.
This job.
This obsession.
This addiction.
You know, you're no better than... than Tony Hughes.
Getting lost in all the darkness that surrounds you.
Thinking you can fix everything and find the light switch.
It has to end.
You have to come home.
I'm so close.
Well, you're always so close.
But right now...
...you're dying.
You're lost, my love.
And the tide is coming in.
Wait. Wait. Come on, he's our son.
- This isn't right. - You think I want to do this?
I've lost you, I've lost my daughter.
If I do this, I lose my son as well.
And if we do nothing, isn't he lost anyway?
If there's a chance this will save him...
By locking him up?
Do you know what I think?
Sometimes - and it's awful -
but we were happier before she came back.
Yeah, we were grieving.
But we had her in common...
...the three of us.
We have to save Matthew from himself.
Before he does something worse.
Mr and Mrs Webster, I must talk with you.
- Get out of my way. - Listen, I've found something.
This is on you, this is.
Filling our family's heads with crap, saying Alice is alive.
Matthew has done what he's done
because he overheard your stupid accusations.
- He's trying to help you. - Well, he hasn't.
Ever since he turned up, bad things have happened.
There's nothing more I want
than for my husband to come home.
He walked away from an operation that can help save his life
to come out here and find out what happened to your girl.
He's walked away from me, from his daughter.
I'm telling you, there is no way he would have done
all that unless he thought it was worth it.
I have no problem with you.
But this - this is about my life and my family.
Listen, I've never lost hope that we might learn the truth
about your daughter and Sophie Giroux.
And now I've finally found the truth.
The man who abducted Sophie and Alice works here in Eckhausen.
His name is Adam Gettrick.
Gettrick?
- You're serious? - I spoke with him,
before I was arrested.
I saw it... in his eyes.
You saw it in his eyes?
Jesus, do you believe this?
(Sighs)
What are we going to do about Matthew? He's what matters now.
What if he's right?
My daughter died.
How many times do you want me to bury her?
I won't do this.
I can't do this.
So what do we do now?
Gettrick knows I suspect him.
We'll have to move quickly.
- Did you tell the police? - They don't believe me.
Jorn Lenhart would be an ally but he's not answering.
As I see it, there's one option still open to us.
Gettrick's house.
No. If he's as dangerous as you say he is...
But if I am right, he knows I have seen him for who he is.
And he'll already be gone.
Listen, that thing in your head...
You can't run away from it, Julien.
I know.
(Door bell rings)
(Door bill rings again)
Are you sure you wish to do this?
Well, I'm here, aren't I?
(Door creaks)
Lucy?
Lucy, wake up, darling.
Here you go.
We'll find you something here, won't we?
Something to replace Mr Squibbles.
What's wrong?
It's just I've...
I must've left some cash at home. But it's fine.
It's fine. It doesn't matter.
Look at him.
He's nice, isn't he?
(Shop bell rings)
(Bird caws)
- Mummy! - Lucy!
Oh, I've missed you.
It's amazing... us all here together.
(Gettrick chuckles)
It was worth it, wasn't it?
Every second.
Come on. You need to help me with everything in the car.
What is it?
Look at that.
Would you help me move these boxes, Mrs Webster?
Right.
That's the last of it.
Feels good, doesn't it? The air here...
Shhhh.
She must be tired from the long journey.
What's in the bag?
She'll love it.
No, it's not for her.
She used to talk about one of these, remember?
The one her brother used to keep trying to steal from her.
Back in the day.
Back when she behaved.
She was very good in the car, though.
I didn't hear a sound from the boot the entire journey.
So, you know, I thought I'd give her a present...
...for being such a good girl.
You can have this... if you're good.
Stay.
You will be good...
won't you, Alice?
I'll be good.
