I knew there was
something off about Elisa.

She was born in some sort of
religious commune in Eyton.

I find it easiest just to tell
myself I no longer have a daughter.

She's saying that I left Lucia with
Rebecca because of how I grew up.

This is harassment. It's
potentially defamatory.

I just took a call
from the Paris office.

And a source at the lab
says they found her blood.

Lucia can't be dead.

Stay away from Elisa.

Lulu-Rose,
I'm your mother.

My birthmark.

Did we cheat?

Yes, but the rules
are very complex.

It's not as simple as
it seems, my darling.

Come here, honey bunny.

You need some love.

But we won.

You need some love.

This is Good Morning UK.
I'm Bethany Hastings.

Seven weeks ago,

the unthinkable happened to
my next guest, Elisa Blix.

Elisa's daughter, Lucia, was kidnapped
while on a sleepover with a school friend.

A week later, the police
found CCTV footage

of Lucia at a service
station in France.

And then, in a very
worrying development,

traces of Lucia's blood were discovered
in a derelict house in northern France.

Elisa.

Thank you for being with us at
this incredibly difficult time.

Can I start by
asking how you are?

I'm…

…getting through
it, uh, day by day.

Lucia was last seen in France.

Do you believe our listeners
in the UK can still help?

Yes, I do.

Uh, the woman that I left Lucia with
is English, so someone must know her.

Um…

I'm asking anyone who's got
information to come forward.

There's been lots of stories
in the press about your family,

your background.

How are you coping
with the attention?

Well… Well,
obviously I don't like it,

but if the stories about me keep Lucia
on the front pages and in people's minds,

then it's worth it.

But you've made a complaint to
IPSO about some of the stories?

Yes, I believe that
some of the journalists,

well, one in particular,
crossed a line.

I mean, she approached my
mother, invaded my privacy.

Some would say you've invaded your own
privacy with your social media posts,

videos of you crying.

Were you concerned
about privacy then?

I'm just trying to
be as open as I can.

I… I want people to
know what this is like.

I want them to see
how hard it is.

And… …I really want
people to come forward,

and I believe that social
media can help with that.

You don't worry that the intense debate
about your handling of the campaign

might become a distraction
from finding Lucia?

Oh. These questions.

I'm just… I'm offering you a
chance to respond to the criticism.

No. You…

You're not.

That's not what you're doing.

You're just reinforcing the hate,
the negativity by repeating it.

By making me respond to it.

You don't know
what this is like.

No one can possibly know
unless you've lost a child.

It is impossible to imagine.

It's the most unbearable pain,

and it's constant, and it's not going
to stop unless she comes home safe.

I'm sure many of us will relate to
that sense of connection to your child.

The desire to protect
them above all else,

which is perhaps why people have
found it so difficult to understand

your decision to leave Lucia
with a virtual stranger.

I can't do this.

Hi.

I feel like we're
about to draw weapons.

I've had a few unchristian thoughts
about smacking you in the mouth.

You gave me an interview,
and you took my shoes.

I didn't know what
you were gonna write.

You made us sound like freaks.

And Elisa's already lost a child.
You didn't need to make it worse.

Yeah.

So why are you back?

Because I never
meant to hurt Elisa.

I… I feel like I'm missing
something that could help her.

Look, I'm already
in enough trouble as it is,

but you said the last
time Elisa was here,

- no one saw her.
- Yeah, so?

You said that she came
here after her dad died.

Was there not a funeral or
something? Did no one see her there?

- I didn't say that.
- You didn't say what?

I didn't say she came back after he
died. I said she was here when he died.

Sorry, when he died?

- As in on the day he died?
- Yeah.

I… I, um… I looked up Elisa's father's
death certificate. Daniel Stanton, right?

He fell down the stairs.

S-So was she there when he fell?

I don't know. I wasn't there.

Well, do you know anything about that
day? W-Was there an argument of some kind?

All I know is that
Elisa came back,

then she was gone again,
except Daniel was dead.

And I'm not saying
any more because things can get twisted.

I honestly don't
know what happened.

Apart from that Elisa came
and went that same day.

Yeah.

She left before the
ambulance got here.

Hello. You're the journalist
who wants to talk to me?

Yes. Uh, that's me.
I'm S… I'm Selma.

Um, I was wondering if you
might be able to help me,

um, with background about a story I'm
writing about the community up at Eyton.

- Right, well, I can give you two minutes.
- Oh.

I've got a party of schoolchildren
arriving to learn about crime prevention.

Don't ask me which
I'd rather deal with.

I'll be quick, I promise.

Um, I was told that you were first on
the scene to a death there in 2019,

um, of, uh…
…Daniel Stanton.

Right, yeah.

Great. I'd love if
you could tell me

what relations are like between
the community and police.

Well, we don't often have reason to
go up there, to be honest with you.

Maybe the occasional run-in over
dye waste polluting the river.

Oh.

Uh, and did the community
cooperate with the Stanton inquiry?

Yeah, they're a quirky
bunch, to put it politely. Colourful.

'Cause Daniel Stanton fell
down the stairs, right?

So you must have had reason to treat
that as… …suspicious?

So this article about Dan…
Daniel Stanton's death, is it?

No, no. God, no. No, no, no.

It's, um… It's about, um… It's just about
communities like this around the UK,

but, um, you know, he's
Elisa Blix's father, so…

- Mm-hmm.
- …gonna mention it for topicality.

Well, there was a thorough investigation,
and his death was ruled to be an accident.

I know, yeah. Um. How-How long had
he been dead when-when you arrived?

A couple of hours.

There was a fatal road
traffic accident the same day,

so I had to wait to hand over
to the roads policing team.

Oh, uh, where-where was…
Where was the accident?

B332, half a mile outside Eyton.

- That's your two minutes. Okay?
- Okay. Um, thank you.

I know I shouldn't call,
but it's an emergency.

I need a passport.

Okay. Yeah, well, how long will
it be till we get a report?

Today or
tomorrow. I'll call you.

Yeah, as soon
as you hear anything.

- Okay, will do. Thanks, Fred.
- All right, thank you.

Don't film Oscar.

You may use your son all you
like, but you won't use mine.

- I'm not using him. I wouldn't do that.
- I'm his mother.

It's my job to protect my son.

Just like it should be your
job to protect your son.

Excuse me?

I don't have to repeat myself,
but just so we're clear,

the way that you
make your son perform

so that you can be in
the centre of everything

makes me nauseous.

Oscar, darling.
Time to go. Come on.

Good boy.

Here you go, baby.
You just wait for me.

Now, come here.

Come on. Let's go in. Let's…
Let's have some…

Oh, hi.

- Hey. Hey, uh…
- Who is this, Fred?

Elisa, this… this is…

- Sandra.
- Sandra.

- Uh, she's a social worker.
- Hi, Sandra.

She's come to do a
welfare check on George.

- Mm-hmm.
- Yeah.

Listen, mate, do you wanna go
and, uh… go and get your toys?

- Go on, I'll be in in a minute.
- Go and grab some of your new toys.

I'm so sorry, but
I'm… I'm confused.

What's going on?

Elisa, we've had a call from someone
concerned about George's welfare.

That's why I've come
to do a routine check.

Who called you?

We've actually had more than one
call, and we need to follow them up.

We're only concerned
about George's well-being.

Yeah, yeah, of course.

Hold on, do we
get a say in this?

We're his parents.

Can you just walk in here and…

Your husband was happy for me to
come in. I've had a look around.

Would you mind if I
speak to George? Alone?

No, that's fine.
Absolutely fine.

That's okay, yeah?

Yeah.

Yeah, sure.

Mmm.

I've filed my copy.

- Before my deadline.
- What, do you want a bun or something?

Not if it means having to write a
story about where bread comes from.

Egypt, by the way.

Right, I just mean I've got
time now to do other things.

And you're not gonna be
totally happy about this,

but I did go back to Eyton
the other day, on my day off,

and I don't have the full picture yet,
but Elisa was there when her dad died.

- It could be really inter...
- In there.

I don't know what the fuck you think
you're doing, but you need to stop.

Do you have any idea how hard I had
to argue with management for you?

If they got wind of the
fact you've been to Eyton…

I went on my day off, and I made it
clear that I wasn't going to write...

Do you have any idea how
fucking irritating you can be?

I need you to listen to me.

Leave this alone.

We're already treading
a difficult line here

- with Elisa's complaint not being settled.
- I know. I know that. I'm just…

I'm finding it hard because there's
definitely something going on...

The first complaint probably
won't ruin your career,

but the second one,
it really will.

I know you think I'm five
minutes older than you,

you don't want to hear my advice, but I've
been through this, and I got through it.

So I need you to listen to me
when I say, put this one down,

find something else and prove
yourself again out there.

- Bonjour.
- Bonjour.

João?

Oui.

I need a passport.

Milan Matkovic
gave me your name.

Milan.

Come in.

- I need it soon.
- Mm-hmm.

Like good food and good
wine, it takes time to make.

I'd pay you well.

Mmm.

Merde.

Look, I make
documents for people.

I never ask why they want
them, but this? Not worth it.

It's bad news.

It's best not to get involved.

If I don't get a passport,
the police will find me.

And if the police find me,

they will find you.

Do you realise how stupid it is for you
to come here in my house and threaten me?

I don't have another option.

It's this, or I turn
myself in to the police.

You're quite the
negotiator, aren't you?

But you're gonna need a biometric
passport, and that's 15K.

Half now, half tomorrow
when I pick it up.

Can you do it in time?

You want a hamburger?
I'll make you a hamburger.

Elisa?

The press have found out
she's a social worker.

- Right, we're getting slaughtered.
- I have to talk to them.

No, no, we need to leave
and get out of here.

I'm not leaving.

Well, we can't stay
here. It's madness.

I can't leave. Lucia's things
are here. I'm not leaving.

Five, four,
three, two, one.

Coming, ready or not.

Marcus Turner.

Thanks for seeing me.

Um, are you okay?

What does this mean?

Why were you sending me this?

I have lost everything.

Why are you doing this to me?

Everything. I have
lost everything.

There is nothing, nothing
left for you to take.

- You don't seem okay, Elisa. Is there...
- No, I'm not okay. How could I be okay?

Well, is there someone
I can call for you?

I'm sorry my article
caused so many problems.

I don't want your apology.

Just stop printing vile stories about
me. They have nothing to do with Lucia.

You went to Eyton to visit your
parents just before your dad died.

You went to visit your parents
when you were pregnant with George.

I worked it out. The dates fit.

Yeah, so?

You were with a man
when you went back.

I'd assumed it was Fred, but…

I think you do
know Marcus Turner.

He's in prison. Manslaughter,
causing death by dangerous driving.

Happened just outside Eyton
the day your dad died.

I don't know what
you're talking about.

Marcus Turner owned a
small chain of hotels.

You stayed at one
of them actually.

You were travelling
a lot that year

and tagged yourself in several
cities where Marcus owned a hotel.

My guess is that he was flying
with you a lot around that time.

- Did you have an affair with him?
- It wasn't an affair.

But you didn't tell the police about him.

Did you?

Has this got anything
to do with Lucia?

Elisa, let me help you.

It's got nothing
to do with Lucia.

Fine, then you won't mind
if I speak to Marcus then.

I've already emailed
a request to see him.

There's someone in the house.

Go to Lulu-Rose,

lock the door,
get in the closet,

and don't come out
unless you know it's me.

What are
you doing here?

You can't be here.

- The police are looking for you.
- They searched Laure's café.

- All my safe houses.
- My daughters are in the house.

No one would come near me.

- Friends, people I worked with for years.
- That is not my problem.

I need more money to disappear.

- I know you must have money stashed here.
- I paid you.

I paid you well.

I didn't know what it
was. You lied to me.

- You told me she was yours.
- She is mine.

She was… She was… She
was taken from me.

You're fucking crazy.

Where is the money? Tell me.
I know it's somewhere here.

Get out!

Get out of my house!

Where is it?

I know it's here somewhere.

I find it anyway.

I'll kill you and
search the house.

Mummy!

Visitors office.

Hi, yeah, um, I'm trying to get
permission to visit a prisoner.

Okay, uh, I need to take a
name. Which prisoner is it?

Marcus Turner.

All right. Okay, are
you a friend or family?

Yeah, I'm, uh, press
with Dash Voice.

Right. We don't normally...

Uh, uh, no, I understand, but
I really do need to see him.

Sure, but there is a block on
his visits from journalists.

- Okay. Yeah. All right, thanks. Bye. Bye.
- Okay, bye.

- Hello?
- Yeah, hi, um,

this is Selma Desai
from Dash Voice.

- Oh, hi. How can I help?
- Yeah, hi.

I'm trying to get, um, images of
the sentencing of Marcus Turner…

- Okay.
- …on the 6th of June 2021.

Yeah, no, uh, we didn't
cover it, but he pled guilty.

It wasn't a massive story.

You had a photographer there
though, I think, right?

- Yeah, we did.
- Are there any images

from the sentencing
that weren't published?

- Sure, I can find you some.
- Oh, yeah, no, that would be great.

And shall I email
them to you as well?

- Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- I'm sending them across now.

- Yes, I've got it. Thanks, bye.
- Thanks very much.

I'm sorry.

I should have…

come to visit you.

I should have…
answered your letters.

I didn't know how I…

What happened to your face?

It happens in here.

I didn't believe it when
they said you were coming.

Yeah.

Marcus, I, um…

I need to know if you told
anyone about what happened.

How can you ask me that, Elisa?

Um.

- Look at where I'm sitting.
- I know.

I did this for us.

For our son.

Is there news about Lucia?

No.

Nothing.

I'm sorry.

If you'd replied to any of my letters,
I would have… said that before.

If I'd known,

I never would have encouraged
you to go back to Eyton.

Marcus, no, you can't do that.

You didn't know because
I didn't tell you.

I couldn't.

I didn't tell anyone.

What you've done for me,

for George…

That's his name.

George.

George.

Georgie.

I'm never gonna be able
to repay you, Marcus.

Not ever.

I'm so sorry.

But I need you to tell
me if anyone else knows.

Anyone.

Please, Marcus, you
have to tell me.

His wife came to see me.

Nicolas's wife.

Nina.

What? She came here?

Why?
What did she say?

She wanted to know
where I'd been.

What I was doing on
the road that day.

I said I'd been
visiting Eyton alone.

But I didn't tell her about you.

Of course not.

- Of course not.
- Okay. Okay.

- Hi.
- Hey.

- You all right?
- Is that Sarah Banks?

What?

Where did you get this?

Is it her?

Is that the woman
who approached you?

Yeah, yeah.

Yeah, it is.

Where did you get this?

From that journalist that I
complained about. She sent it to me.

What? She just… She
just sent it to you?

Hang on. How do
you know that's Sarah Banks?

- Do you know her?
- Listen to me.

- No. Do you know her?
- Listen to me.

I need you to think.

Did… Did she ever say
anything about France to you?

Hang on. You've got to tell me
everything that's going on, all right?

- Tell me what-what's going on.
- Fred, please, I will.

Just-Just… right now
I need you to think.

Did she ever mention
visiting anywhere in France?

Anything.

- We talked about going on holidays.
- Yeah, and wh-what did she say?

You know, I-I mentioned that
we went to La Seyne-sur-Mer,

and she mentioned and talked about…
…uh, another place near there.

You know, it sounded like she
knew it pretty well, yeah.

Was
it… Was it Toulon?

- What? Where the car was found?
- Yes.

Fred, that's her.

Uh. Are you sure?

She has Lucia. I…

I have to go.

It's okay.

He's gone now.

Hi, Joe.

Listen, I… I don't
have time to explain,

but I-I really need to
get to Toulon today.

Do you know if
there's anyone flying?

Okay, I'll try Rob.

What are you doing here?

Nicolas Thibault's
family was from Toulon.

You need to call the police.

Have you called them already?

No, not yet, but I should.

I'm already in enough
trouble as it is.

Just come in.

Selma, you can't
call the police.

If Nina Thibault finds out that
she's a suspect, she'll run.

Then I might never
see Lucia again.

Okay, so what then?
What's your plan?

- At least the police can help you.
- I can't call the police.

They'll… They'll arrest me.

- Why?
- Look, Selma.

There is a really strong chance
that I am going to find Lucia.

So, I'm asking you, please, please,
please, please don't fuck this up for me.

I'll do anything.

Fine. Yeah, I won't
call the police.

Thank you.

If you drop your complaint.

And I need to know
everything that you know.

And I mean everything.

Also, I'm coming with you.

Okay.
