Don't get yourself in a mess, Beaver.

Oh, bless you.

Let me out!

Mum!

Mum!

The Hawkins inquest starts tomorrow.

Corona's been contacted. You've been excused.

But we said you'd probably make it.

I'll be there. You could use your support.

If you feel strong enough.

Yeah, sure, I'll be there.

What was that all about?

What? Oh, come on.

We could use your support.

The man's just been shot.

You put him fresh on... I've been there, remember?

You like that in places like this.

You start to think too much.

Stephen. Get off me!

It's okay. Just listen to me. Listen.

I'm your mum, Stephen.

Mum! Mum! I'm your mum.

Paul Savant, supposed businessman, arrived in London three days ago.

Suspected links with an international paedophiliac ring.

Nothing proved so far.

You're looking at James Nesmith, British resident. Again, suspected links to

paedophilia. Several investigations and nothing proved.

Calvin Stoll, Norwegian.

Yet another businessman, yet another suspect who was once charged in France

molesting a young boy.

He got off.

He arrived in Britain yesterday.

Quite a party.

Any contact between them?

French police sent us this. Stoll and Nesmith in a restaurant in Paris.

This was about three months ago.

No contact with Savant?

No, not so far.

What the hell are they doing here?

Well, two of them together at the same time could be a coincidence.

Three?

Then there's something going on.

Okay.

We're in the spotlight with this.

Every branch and every force in Europe is watching us.

I want 24 -hour surveillance on Savant.

Let's start with his hotel room.

Let's move to the first contestant who's going to play Gambit this evening.

Well, Ian. Well, if you remember, last week, Ian was just about to play...

Wizardry to ensure fantastic results every time.

You can go on location with lights, tripod, extra battery and tapes.

So, stand by.

Cue the action.

Single bullet each.

They didn't even have time to move.

Was it professional?

Looks like it.

Where's the kid?

What kid?

We've got a missing kid.

I just got the report from CID.

He was kidnapped from his garden in broad daylight.

Stephen Jenkins.

No, that's wrong. His name's Matthew Stone.

No, that's with Jenkins here.

Parents were shot through the head.

But Stephen's parents were alive. They reported the kidnap.

Two of them.

She snatched him from the back garden.

She? One of the neighbours saw her.

Took the car registration.

We'll find it.

It must have been a minute.

At most.

I left him playing there and I heard him shout.

Did you see the woman?

She'd gone by the time we arrived.

How the hell can this happen?

We'll find him.

Would you like a drink?

I've got you some juice.

When you were a baby, I couldn't afford to keep you.

And that's why I gave you to somebody who could.

But I never wanted to give you away, Stephen.

Please believe that.

You're not my mum.

Definitely her car.

Really flat.

20. Annie Jordan's on the fourth floor.

Annie Jordan?

Get off me!

It's mine!

It's yours!

You okay?

But it's mine!

It's his!

It's mine!

It's okay.

Come on, you're going to be fine.

Good, Annie.

Why did you kidnap the boy?

Because he's my son.

You can prove that?

No. You have his birth certificate.

Hospital release form. No, I hand it over the way. Come on, Annie.

Mr and Mrs Jenkins have shown us his birth certificate with their names on.

He's their child. He's my son.

What's this?

I don't understand.

£10 ,000 deposited in your bank account ten days ago.

No, that was... I was left the money. That's why I wanted him back.

Who left you the money? My father.

He died a month ago. He left me the money in his will, and you can check

Oh, you will? Don't worry. He's my boy. I gave him away when he was a baby.

Are you saying you had him adopted?

That's right. So how come Mr. and Mrs. Jenkins have no memory of this adoption?

They don't want to give him up.

Matthew Stone, ring any bells?

I don't know him.

Look what's going on here.

He went missing as well.

I don't know anything about this. Well, I think somebody put you up to this,

Annie.

They go free and you get charged with kidnapping.

You would be lucky to get away with ten years.

You give us the name of your contact. I don't have...

Just want my baby back.

I'm sorry about the money checks out.

Could have been set up.

No, unlikely.

Or maybe she's telling the truth.

She's hiding something.

We'll let her sweat for a bit.

I didn't mean to shout at you.

You know how it is.

Sometimes.

You were right about your studies.

You need some time off.

I don't mind.

Michael!

It'll all be over tomorrow.

I promise.

And then you can go where you like.

Do what you want.

They'll all pay.

I'll make sure of it.

The next case touches on the death of Emily Hawkins.

We are not here to apportion blame, Mr. Hawkins. They could have saved her.

Our purpose here is simply to ascertain the cause of death.

We wouldn't be here if he'd done his job.

Mr. Hawkins, please.

Somebody should pay.

He should pay. Will you please stand down?

He'll tell you he's acting in our best interest. Mr. Hawkins. He'll tell you

there's nothing he could have done. If you don't stand down, I will have you

removed from this court. They're covering up for each other.

That's all I have to say.

Please strike all that in the court record.

And when I arrived in the shack, Emerson had a knife at Miss Hawkins' throat. He

threatened to kill her.

I tried to talk him out of it.

I didn't think he'd do it.

Do you witness the accused administer the fatal wound?

Detective Cregan.

Detective Cregan.

Yes, sir.

Thank you, Detective. That will be all.

You want me?

I'm here.

Come on.

I won't fight back.

Come on, again.

Again.

Come on, Michael. You can do better than that.

That enough?

You want more?

Oh, you want to kill me, is that it?

Somebody has to pay.

Emerson will pay.

Emerson killed your daughter. No.

You.

You killed her.

You made a mistake.

Then what are you waiting for?

Somebody killed my kid, I'd kill him for sure.

But you're not sure, are you, Michael?

Emerson's the one you want, but you can't have him, so you come to me.

No, you.

You're part of it.

Yeah, you're right, Michael.

There's nobody playing with you.

What are you saying?

You torture yourself, right?

Your fault.

All that pain.

Nobody deserves that kind of pain, so you dish it out.

And maybe if you dish it out, then some of it might leave you.

You can't even get close to that kind of pain.

No?

If I could take the slightest bit of your pain away, I would.

Cregan?

Remember you said that.

You're safe now.

We've contacted all the adoption agencies.

There's no record of you or the Jenkins.

The records must have been destroyed.

Why would they do that?

Look, I don't know anything about records or agencies.

All I know is that Stephen is my son.

You see, you keep saying that, Annie.

The trouble is, you can't back it up.

All we see is a woman trying to snatch a kid that doesn't belong to her. It does

belong to me! Yeah?

So prove it to us.

I can't.

Read the chart.

Annie Jordan, you are hereby... Okay.

He didn't find any records.

Because there aren't any.

My life was a mess.

I was living in squats.

I didn't want that for him.

I sold him.

I couldn't take care of him.

The chance was there.

So I sold him.

You're saying the Jenkins paid you for your baby?

Not the Jenkins.

A man called Reggie Hanson.

He deals in kids.

Checked relatives, neighbours, even interviewed schoolmates.

No sign of Matthew.

You believe her story?

She's too smart to make this up.

Matching a kid in broad daylight, yeah, that's smart.

Results on Hanson.

Well, what do you know?

He has a record.

No convictions, but was the subject of a surveillance operation two years ago.

Looks like he was taking too many holidays abroad.

I was wondering if either of you had ever come across this guy.

Name's Reggie Hanson.

Who is he?

Well, Annie Jordan claims she sold her baby to this man, who in turn sold her

baby to you.

I don't believe this. Okay, Sandra.

First she takes our son, now she tries to blame us. Who's side are you on?

Sandra, look, we've shown you all our papers. What more can we do?

The woman's obviously round the bend.

Okay, Reggie Hanson.

Made a lot of money out of computer printer company.

Big shot in children's charities, particularly hospices.

Tips for the honesty.

It came to our attention a few years back.

Taking 75 trips abroad in one year.

Investigations drew a blank. It looked like it was just a business trip.

At least that's what we thought at the time.

These pictures were taken at a London restaurant.

Paul Savant.

We didn't know him then.

And he's tripped abroad. Where'd he go? Various places, mainly Albania. Well,

you could bring him in, apply some pressure.

No, if he's connected to the three wise men, maybe we can use him.

Must have been hard to give up your child.

You believe me?

Well, let's just say I'm listening.

You know what else there is I can tell you?

How did you find Hansen?

A woman I met in one of the squats.

She told her baby to Hansen.

Just phoned him up, he arranged everything.

Private hospital.

Even put me up on a flat for a while.

How much did he pay you? Oh, does it matter?

You don't have to tell me.

Five grand.

Got me on my feet.

But a minute's passed that I didn't regret it.

So how did you find the Jenkins?

Hansen refused to tell me at first.

Until I threatened him with the police.

Blackmail? All I cared about was getting Stephen back.

I would have done anything.

But Hanson loved you for that?

That's the surprising thing.

I seem to understand.

I seem to really care about kids.

Sounds good.

Get that here as quick as you can.

Yep? There's a woman to see you. This is Caroline Barnett.

Never heard of her.

All right, send her in.

Mr Hanson?

Mrs Barnett, what can I do for you?

I understand you can help me.

Nice pad.

Mrs Barnett's doing all right.

What, is he expecting 30 grand in cash for this kid?

Perfect couple, you and me.

Staying up at night, in front of a roaring fire, got some psychosis.

I don't think I'd describe myself as my cotter. Me neither.

It's working already.

We have the building surrounded.

There's some officers in the house themselves.

to get used to this.

Get your feet off the furniture.

It really begins to sound like a wife.

I am the breadwinner in this relationship, remember?

Yeah, I meant to talk to you about that.

How come I don't get to be the successful lawyer?

Work it out.

All units are in position, sir.

Okay, maintain radio silence until further notice.

He's here.

Come and meet your new mum and dad.

This is Barnett. Mr Barnett, this is Nadia.

Hello, Nadia.

What the hell's going on?

I've no bloody idea.

I take it there is a good reason for all of this.

Silent court as a novelty.

So I'll ask you some questions. What's going on here? What am I doing here?

Why did you arrest me?

Do I get a phone call? Do I have the right to a lawyer?

Let's start with where the girl came from.

She's my niece.

She doesn't speak any English.

She was born and brought up in Albania.

If you contact her parents, they'll tell you.

I'll give you their address.

Why were you giving it to Mrs Barnett?

Her mum's ill.

Mrs Barnett kindly offered to look after her for a while.

As far as I know, there's no law against that, is there?

Who's this man?

Where did you get this?

This is Paul Savant, a former business associate.

What kind of business?

He's interested in running a friendship expansion of my printer business.

We couldn't agree terms.

Anything else?

Sorry, sir, there's a Mrs. Barnett downstairs.

Says she's Mr. Hanson's lawyer.

That's true.

Hello.

I'm Michael.

I'm a friend of your dad's.

He told me to come and see you.

As far as I can see, Mr Hanson has given you his complete cooperation.

If there is a charge to be made against him, he would appreciate that it be

fully laid out before proceeding.

How about the illegal importation of children?

How about organising illegal adoption to profit?

You're charging him with these offences?

I would also like to point out that if any fourth charges are made against my

client, he will pursue the matter rigorously through the courts.

And what are you paying for the kid?

Can I speak off the record?

It seems to me that in order for you to bring charges, you would need me to

testify against my client. That won't be happening.

You charge him or you let him go.

This is my daughter.

Her name's Emily.

I thought you should meet her so that you'd understand.

I have something to tell you that might shock you, but I think you should know.

Your daddy killed her.

Nice move.

They were clutching at straws.

I'm glad you're on my side.

I'm not on anybody's side.

I have a vested interest in you being free.

Do you need a lift?

It's probably out of your way.

Oh, that's okay.

They charged me.

I know, I'm sorry.

We need more time with Hanson.

Just hang in there.

What'll happen to me?

You'll be sent to a woman's prison on remand.

Just a couple of days before your bail hearing and then you'll be released

the trial.

And what if you can't prove anything against Hanson?

We will.

Why didn't you come to us in the first place?

I thought about it.

But when I went to check on him and I saw him there...

I just had to hold him.

I can understand that.

So how come you believe me?

I get these hunches about people.

Bit of an affliction.

You're a kind man.

You don't know me.

Call it a hunch.

Mind if I walk you to your bed?

I'd like that.

Don't let this place get you, okay?

I won't.

And thanks.

What for?

Believe him.

The hell was that?

Get out!

Mark, for God's sake!

You okay?

What do you mean?

Well, you weren't exactly quick on your feet. Yeah, I wasn't sure what was

happening. Well, you didn't hear me shout. I heard you, okay?

I want to know who he was, who he was shooting at, and why. He was a pro.

Probably contracted.

Who would go to all that trouble to take a pot shot at a cop?

Well, he wasn't shooting at us.

Me?

Why would somebody want to kill me?

Because you're a threat.

A threat to who?

You can testify against Hanson.

You might have some contacts, and rather you didn't.

You're not handsome. This isn't his style.

He knows some powerful men.

And until we catch them, you're a target.

So you'll need protection.

Do I get to pick the bodyguard?

No, we can't send Annie to prison.

Not after this. Annie?

Annie Jordan.

You're on first line, sir.

Look, we send her to prison, they can still get to her.

We don't know she was the target.

You want to take that chance?

It's the hell out of a prison cell.

I'll give it a couple of days and we climb the walls.

He's dead.

I'm a busy man.

You'll come and see me?

There's no need.

These guys are good.

I meant in your own time.

I'd just like to say thanks for your support, Dave.

What? Going behind my back to MRI.

That's exactly what I need right now. Mark, I was worried about what happened.

Yeah, I know what's going on. You know, maybe he's losing it. Maybe he'll get us

all killed.

No. Yeah, well, let's get this straight. I don't have a problem.

I can do my job, and I won't be letting anybody down.

Okay?

So what do we do? Where do we start?

Let's start with how you're feeling.

I'm feeling fine, thanks. How are you?

Okay. Oh, good.

Well, that's that sorted out. I feel a lot better.

How did you feel when you took the bullet, Mark?

I've got this pain in my armour.

I couldn't understand it.

Okay, I thought I was dead.

No life flashing before my eyes, no regrets.

I just thought, this is it then.

Is that abnormal?

No. So what the hell am I doing here?

I

was

on a business trip.

Eastern bloc.

New frontiers, they say.

Albania. I'm looking for a factory site.

I meet this bloke.

Tells me about a hospital.

Supposed to be derelict.

So I pay a visit.

The place is only teeming with kids.

He's young as two.

Old as 16.

They live in shit.

Half of them are basket cases.

So you decided to help them?

You can't look at that and do nothing.

You can't.

So I bring one of them home with me.

And the word gets round, the chattering classes.

And soon I'll have two neck in orders.

What'll you do now?

Not much I can do, is there?

I guess they'll be watching me now.

The public must be protected, right?

But... Who is it they think they're protecting?

I mean, it's not the children, that's for sure.

Well, they won't be watching me.

I still want a child. There's nothing I wouldn't do to get one.

You don't realise what you're involved.

I don't care.

You show me the robes, I'll do the rest.

Three miles along the main western road out of Bria, there's a signpost marked

Mamara. That's the name of the hospital.

And when I get there, I'm taught by Yaji.

He runs the place.

Speaks English, apparently.

I give him the money.

They supply the passport.

Take my pick.

Hanson doesn't suspect anything.

Too caught up in his own ego.

If you listened to him talk, you'd think he was saving the world single -handed.

Nearly had me believing him.

We have a picture of him with Paul Savant, remember?

The three wise men are sitting tight, obviously, waiting for something.

This is all we have.

If we follow the whole process through, we might find out something useful.

But I want three officers covering every step of the way. What about the kid?

As soon as you pick up the kid, you hand it over to the local police.

They'll be expecting you.

You'll send me a postcard?

Not the sights I'll be seeing.

Try not to start any international incident.

Keep close to the guide. I know what to do, Dave.

Yeah, well... Good luck.

I would have thought

one copy was enough.

You can take a break.

Hi. You okay?

Fine. A bit bored.

You're, um, on time, I think.

Yeah, it's as close as it gets.

Any news?

These things take time.

You know, we've never had a proper conversation.

Well, that's why I was here.

So, tell me about yourself.

I'm a cop.

And? That's it.

What about you?

I'm a free spirit.

What's your money on that?

No.

But plenty of job satisfaction.

Mum, I'm just watching you.

Why did Daddy kill Emily?

What did you say? Why did Daddy kill Emily?

Who's Emily?

The man who said she killed her.

What man?

Daddy's friend.

There's something unreal about this.

What?

Me, in a hotel room, with a strange man.

Strange? No, not strange.

Distant. Like nobody should come near you.

It's been way too long.

How better?

You're getting more.

Everything okay in there?

He won't go to his chair.

One

minute.

You okay, sir?

That's what I call protection.

Better check, sir. Sure.

Good work.

You can take over now.

Something wrong, sir?

No, it's just... Just be vigilant.

DC Rivers.

I'll be right there.

That's a big panic.

Table in the corner.

Shit.

Poor Savon and his cronies.

What's wrong?

Someone's been talking to the kids.

What do you mean?

Who the hell's Emily?

I'll be right over, okay? You don't move.

You don't answer the door. You don't do anything, okay?
