Original subtitles

Promise me you'll answer when I call, day or night?

I always do, don't I? 'You've arrived!'

Check this place out. I love it here.

She'll eat French cuisine before the end of the trip.

PHONE RINGS

Katie phoned me in the night, and I missed it.

Her bed hasn't been slept in.

Everything all right? 'Katie's gone AWOL.'

I've got an awful feeling she's in trouble.

Sweetheart, I'm here, in Saint-Michel.

Something has happened to her.

'Leave it or don't. Your call.'

PHONE BEEPS

Hello, again. How can we help you, Sarah?

I was on my way here when I got this.

Have you called her? Yes!

I tried, but her phone's off again now.

It's been deleted. What?

The message she sent, it has just gone. Call her.

REORDER TONE

It's never rung out like that before.

It usually goes straight to voicemail.

Let me try again.

'Leave it or don't. Your call.' PHONE BEEPS

Is someone trying to stop her from talking to me?

I don't know.

Make a requisition with her phone company.

You said you were on your way in to see us again. Why was that?

Her best friend Lucy says

that SHE was meant to be staying at the Morvans'

and that the family insisted that they swapped over.

That's odd, isn't it, them swapping?

Well, maybe a teenage girl just changed her mind.

It's not that unusual.

Well... how usual is this?

That was sprayed on Emma Morvan's school locker a couple of hours ago.

"Morvan psycho"? Who did this?

Well, obviously someone who knows something that we don't.

No-one has reported this.

Send Remy to school.

There are too many coincidences, and I don't like coincidences.

We will locate your daughter. People don't just disappear.

I'll share Xavier Henin's photo, too. We'll find him, OK?

I'm staying at the Morvans'.

Maybe I can talk to Emma Morvan about this graffiti.

Don't antagonise her. Leave the detective work to us.

I'll update you as soon as I have more information.

We'll stay in close contact. You're a mother, too.

No.

Nearly, a couple of times, but... it wasn't to be.

I'm here for you, Sarah.

Oui.

OK.

Oh, excuse me. Are you English?

Oh. Very well spotted.

Yes, I am.

Erm... is the manager around?

He'll be out shortly. I'm about to pay the bill.

Forgive me asking. Are you all right?

Actually...

...this is my daughter, Katie.

She's here on a school exchange. Have you seen her?

Oh, yeah. Pretty girl.

Yeah, quite the trouble she caused here on Saturday night.

Sorry, I presume you've heard? You did see her on Saturday night?

Hard to miss her. Quite a live wire, your girl.

Her and her other friends, of course.

Who was she with? Someone called Xavier?

Yes. And the Morvan daughter.

Emma Morvan? Mm-hm.

Are you sure? Absolutely.

So Xavier was definitely with Emma?

The lying, stuck-up little cow.

I thought you didn't see anything. Serge, stop it.

You know we both saw them.

What is it? You don't recognise your own flesh and blood?

This is Serge Henin. He manages the bar and the hotel.

You were looking for him? He's Xavier's father.

I need to speak to your son.

My daughter has gone missing,

and he was with her on the night that she disappeared.

I-I am so sorry, my dear. You... You didn't say she was missing.

Mm. I don't have anything to do with Xavier, haven't for years.

Not if I can help it. But you saw him on Saturday night?

For less than a minute. Please, can I have his phone number?

Oh, I'm sorry. I don't have it. He changed it too many times.

Why was it that Katie smashed up this thing?

Huh! Who knows?

I'm so sorry.

Please, do whatever work's necessary, and I'll settle the bill.

I will.

Thank you for your help. No, not at all.

I do hope you find your pretty girl.

Strange man.

Hi, that woman, what did she want?

Was she asking about someone?

Mind your own business.

Katie sent me a WhatsApp message about an hour ago,

saying, "Help me, Mum."

She did? Have you spoken to her? No.

Her phone has been off ever since.

And I've seen your locker. We're discussing it with the school.

Do you know who might've done it?

The principal has some ideas, thinks it was a joke.

The usual suspects, he said.

Well, "psycho Morvan" doesn't sound like a joke to me.

She will be back. Teenagers.

Sometimes, they do not think about us.

It is just about them.

I've found out more about Saturday night.

Katie was seen in Bar Saint-Michel.

Interesting, that. Is it?

I think most of the teenagers here go there.

Now, if you'll excuse me, I have matters to attend to.

I'm sorry about Katie. I wish I could help you.

Oh, I think you can, since you were with them.

Come on. Tell me. Where does Xavier live?

Or do you want me to let your parents know that

you and him have been hanging out? No. No, no, don't, please.

They'll kill me if they know.

Why would someone paint "Morvan psycho" on your locker?

I don't know. It's weird.

Usually, nobody messes with me at school.

Also weird that Lucy was meant to stay here

and she got swapped for Katie.

Why was that? I mean, have you seen her?

I didn't want to have to walk around with that for three weeks.

That dress sense, the hair.

As Maman said, "Imagine the photos."

Come on, Emma. Tell me. Where is Xavier?

Or do you want me to get your mother back here right now?

I've got Xavier's address. Caroline's lent me her car.

I'm heading there now.

'But you know nothing about this bloke.

'Look, you shouldn't be going alone. He could be dangerous.'

Katie did not vanish by choice, and she's asked me to help.

So that's what I'm doing. 'So go to the police.'

I have. This can't wait for them. I need to see if she's there.

'Look, I wish I was with you

'but I'm stuck with these pensioners in Spain.

'Don't go off on your own, hey, babes?'

I didn't call for permission, Jason.

I called for support! 'Yeah, but...'

Hello?

Hello?

CREAKING

Sors de la. Allez, depeche.

Sors. Qu'est-ce que vous foutez la, toi? Degage. Are you Xavier?

I'm Katie's Mum. Don't hurt me.

BREATHES SHAKILY I can't...

I can't breathe.

HYPERVENTILATES

Oh, putain.

Come on. Breathe in to this. Go on.

HE SPEAKS FRENCH Here.

Sit down. Come on.

Hey, hey, deep breath.

In, out.

In.

Out. All right?

Good?

EXHALES DEEPLY OK.

Mm?

Was she here on Saturday night?

Well, a lot of people were.

Yes, but was Katie? She's gone.

What do you mean, "gone"? Vanished. Disappeared.

Her phone is off. She didn't go back to the Morvans'.

Well, but she is not here. I haven't seen her.

Look, I know that you, she and Emma Morvan were together...

when Katie vandalised your dad's bar.

Why would she do that?

Because my father wouldn't serve me.

And when she complained, he wouldn't serve her either.

Then he kicked us out. Maybe someone dared her to do it.

Emma? But she told me that they came here.

Yeah, they hung out in there.

Then I don't know.

They... They fell out, started fighting.

Then Katie left alone and said she was going home.

Did she have a backpack with her?

I'm not sure. I think so, yeah.

Why? Do you know? Why would I, huh?

Well, sorry, I can't help. Good luck.

Would you call Emma Morvan a psycho?

I just think she's damaged, you know?

Could she have hurt Katie?

You know what, she did, yeah.

Why do you think Katie left, huh?

PHONE RINGING Virginie.

Ah.

A tout.

You wanted to speak in private? I just met Xavier.

What? Where?

Emma Morvan gave me his address after a bit of gentle persuasion.

He lives in a caravan, in the woods, where the party happened.

And he turned up when I was there.

He told me that Katie and Emma had a fight

and that Katie left early.

He caught me inside. His caravan? You broke in?

No, no. Well, yes. But you just need to pull the door.

OK, so you did break in. You can't do that.

Do you know how much it could undermine any evidence we find?

They could say you planted it. He could have had you arrested.

I seriously doubt they're gonna do that cos look what I found.

I don't know what it is, but cocaine, I'm guessing.

Certainly not paracetamol. Ketamine, most likely.

We have a problem with it around here.

And that's not all. Look at this.

Is that... a hand?

Could it be Katie's?

OK, these are useful. Send me them and the location.

How was Xavier?

He was pissed off that I was in his caravan.

He was a bit arrogant, a bit, you know... French.

I think that's just men.

CHUCKLING Well, I can see why Katie liked him.

And I met an older Englishman with a Panama hat,

and he told me that Emma was with Katie

when the menu case was smashed.

Has anyone said anything yet about the graffiti from the school?

Not much.

There's no CCTV, no witnesses.

They claim someone could even have come in from outside to do it.

They're downplaying it, which is... typical.

Saint-Michel must keep up appearances.

You can't do anything to scare the tourists.

Oh, Emma Morvan told me why Lucy was swapped.

Apparently, she wasn't photogenic enough.

Seems a bit shallow, even for her.

So, what now?

Wait at the Morvans'. Don't say anything.

I'll come over after our search of the caravan. OK.

LAUGHTER

FAINT CHATTERING

Thank you. Did you find what you needed?

Oh, yes. Do you mind if I join you?

I'm starving. Course not.

Do you want a glass? Mm-mm. No, thank you.

What you celebrating? Nothing, just work.

It's obviously not nothing cos you're drinking Champagne.

HE CHUCKLES Well?

I sold a yacht for 900,000 euros.

Her name's Josephine. Oh, congratulations.

Now I can understand why it is that you haven't had the time

to help me search for my daughter.

Her name is Katie. Remember? I do not appreciate this, Sarah.

The police said to leave it to them. We told them everything we know.

Oh, you told them everything you know, did you? Bollocks.

I met Xavier.

Your daughter has been hanging around with him.

How do you think Katie met him in the first place?

She was with Katie on Saturday night.

She was with Katie in the bar, and she went to the party.

And Xavier tells me that she hurt her.

My girl, she hurt her.

Not true. I wasn't there.

Putain, qu'est-ce que je t'avais dit?

Tu nous avais jure pas la voir. Vous la croire elle plutot que moi?

Vous la connaissez meme pas! Parce qu'on te connait.

Tu passes ton temps a mentir.

Emma. Emma, reviens ici!

Problem?

What do you think, Sarah?

Of course there is.

Emma's 17, same as Katie.

And Xavier? He is a man.

Lieutenant Taylor is here.

She wants to speak to us all, including you.

Me?

OK. Hello.

Hello. Could you get your husband and daughter, please, Madame Morvan?

Emma, Fabien. Descendez, s'il vous plait.

Did you find him? He's gone.

And his caravan's been torched. Oh, bloody hell.

You were seen with Xavier Henin and Katie outside Bar Saint-Michel.

And you went to a party hosted by him on Saturday night?

It would be advisable to tell the truth. It's easily checked.

Is Xavier a close friend? Mm-mm.

But you spent most of Saturday night with him.

Not by choice. Katie made me.

She's been seeing Xavier almost since she got here.

She insisted I go with her, be her cover story.

He's not my friend. He's Katie's, I swear.

You and Katie argued that night.

I was told that you had a fight, and you hit her. Why?

I was defending myself. She was acting crazy.

Look what she did to me.

C'est elle qui t'a fait ca? C'est un animal.

Katie wouldn't attack you for no reason.

I don't think you have any idea what she's really like.

She's the troublemaker here, not Emma.

What started it, Emma? She was high. She was drunk.

She smashed a menu box in town.

I think she wanted to impress Xavier.

SARAH SCOFFS Charmant

Why did she have her backpack?

Cos Xavier said he'd take her to Paris.

En voiture? Qui sait?

And you were jealous?

Xavier's a good-looking boy. Is that what happened, Emma?

You wanted Katie out of the way? What?

No. Cos Xavier wasn't serious about Paris. It was a joke.

Is that what started the fight? I can't remember.

She just went for me.

And then she... she walked off. Left the party?

What time was that? About...

...2am, I think.

Did she go off with someone? No, she went alone.

Her and her backpack. She looked pathetic.

Where was Katie going? She said she was going home.

I thought she'd be here.

You kept that to yourself, didn't you, you little madam?

Leave her alone. I'd like to look in your room.

Don't you need a search warrant? No.

The Code of Criminal Procedure authorises me to search

even without your consent.

But your cooperation would make it easier,

especially as a teenage girl is missing.

I want to see the clothes that Emma was wearing on Saturday night.

Or I could take her in to custody.

She's already confirmed there was an altercation.

I don't think it would be an issue.

I'll go and get some evidence bags, shall I?

HUMMING

I was wearing these.

I'll need them. Possible evidence.

I don't know why you're not talking to Ben.

He was obsessed with Katie, always following her around.

Was he there on Saturday? No.

But he was around town earlier, on his own.

He's such a loser. What else is in there?

Mind if I take a look? It's just dirty washing.

That's Katie's.

She was wearing this on Saturday. I saw it on the CCTV.

Why didn't you show me this?

That's a lot of blood.

I was cold, and Katie left it behind.

That's my blood, all of it.

We'll see if forensics agree.

You're under arrest.

She's not going anywhere with you.

I've just spoken to my lawyer. You haven't followed procedure.

You've come alone. This isn't how it's done.

Take the jacket and run your tests.

I know they will prove Emma is telling the truth.

But she stays here with us.

Don't leave the area. Thank you for your cooperation.

I wish your daughter had never come here.

Sniffing after boys, chasing them, throwing herself at them.

If I find out that any of your family did something to Katie,

I swear to God I'll kill them.

I'll actually kill them. Do you understand?

Is that a threat? No.

It's a promise.

Ca te va?

Oui.

HE SIGHS

Oh, bonjour.

Hello, again.

Any news on your missing daughter?

Oh, well, you know what teenagers are like.

HE CHUCKLES

They run out of money, and they come running back.

I don't think so. Not Katie.

No? Oh, I've had a teenager daughter myself.

I know how unpredictable they can be.

And my policy was let them run off and do their thing,

you know, and then just trust that they come back.

Well, how can they come back

when they're tied up in a cellar somewhere?

Yes, well, I think we're all guilty of watching

too many crime documentaries.

If she's still missing, why are you leaving?

I was at the Morvans', where my daughter was staying,

but that's no longer an option.

Oh, really? Worn out your welcome?

Well, there wasn't much of a welcome to start with.

They weren't too happy that I turned up looking for my daughter,

and they were even less happy when the police arrived.

Right. So I'm not sure where I'm going now.

Well, have you considered the Hotel Saint-Michel?

Very charming, and useful, if you get my meaning.

I hear the police are hunting Xavier... Henin.

How do you know that the police are searching for Xavier?

Well, it's a small town. News travels fast.

It's our local currency.

It's Andrew, by the way.

Oh. Sarah Gleason.

I'd say it's a pleasure to meet you, but given the circumstances...

Sorry, erm... will you excuse me?

Miss Gleason. Any news?

No, nothing. You?

The students are still saying they don't know anything.

Did you notice anything odd about Ben?

What do you mean?

Well, Emma Morvan said that he was following Katie around.

No, sorry, I... I just see them at school,

when they're all together, so...

Anyway, Burwood has demanded that the kids go back home,

and we're working on it, but the flights are full,

and the coaches are booked up.

Well, what if one of them knows something?

Yeah, we'll keep in touch with the police here, of course.

Look... if there's anything I can do to help...

Wasn't that what you were meant to be doing?

Help the kids?

I'm sorry. Save it.

HE SPEAKS IN FRENCH Hello?

I'd like a room, please. Single.

I'm not sure how long for.

However long you need, madame.

If there's anything you want,

just ask my husband, Serge, or myself.

I'm Yvette.

I would like to pay for the damage done by my daughter.

No need.

And you will have a suite, from us - upgrade.

You'll be comfortable? Yeah, it's perfect.

You can make your own coffee.

I'm sure there'll be good news soon.

Maybe your daughter has gone off to explore.

Did your son say anything?

We don't speak to Xavier. Why not?

Well, he did say things were difficult with his dad.

You've talked to him? Yes. And now he's gone missing, too.

Do you know where he might be?

I don't even have his number.

If there's anything you need, ring zero.

We'll be happy to help.

Not that happy.

Bonsoir, my darling. Hi, Papa. How are you?

Do you know what? What?

I'm rather splendid. I've had another day in paradise.

HE CHUCKLES Don't know how I cope

I'm sure you'll figure it out.

I brought your favourite. Mm? Hey! Brilliant.

Perfect, red wine with my steak.

Mmm. Bloody, of course.

HE CHUCKLES

You know I went to that new English shop to buy Oxo cubes?

Don't laugh.

You know what the bloke tried to do?

He tried to charge me tourist prices.

Cheeky sod. Didn't realise I was a local.

That's cos your French is so awful.

Duolingo doesn't work.

I tell you what, I've gotta have words with that neighbour of mine.

I don't know what he's doing to his wife, but the noises they make,

God, it sounds like he's murdering the poor woman.

Well, at least where you live...

Mm. Mm.

...it's nice and quiet. Mm.

Did you see the missing girl at Bar Saint-Michel? Katie Gleason?

Mm-hm. Briefly.

Is there anything I should know?

No. Let me just get on with dinner, OK?

OK, but... I saw her with Emma Morvan and Xavier Henin.

OK? That's all. Nothing else. Nothing more to say.

OK?

Ben.

Gave your host family the slip, then?

Eventually. Have you heard from her?

Katie? No. Have you?

Was that you, "Morvan psycho"?

What? No. Come on. You can tell me.

I know you were pissed Katie dropped you for Emma.

Yeah, well, so were you. I'm not Katie's bestie, am I?

I wouldn't blame you if you did. Emma's been a total bitch to you.

I didn't touch her locker. Is this some sort of double bluff?

Cos you've been pretty creepy since we've arrived, to be honest. What?

I mean, that's what Katie said, that you were stalking her.

Fuck off. No, she never.

Said every single time she turned around, you were there.

Look, did you see her on Saturday night?

Were you following her?

Maybe you saw something

and now you're scared to say in case it's suspicious.

Give it a rest, will you? Ben...

The hell is that on your neck?

How did you get that, Ben?

Just some French twats, thought it would be funny.

HE CHUCKLES

Ah!

SHE CHUCKLES Mmm-mmm! Mmm-mmm-mmm.

PHONE RINGS

Hi. Any news?

'No. And her phone's still turned off.'

And how are...? Well, how are you?

'How you...? How you doing?'

Yeah, good. I'm... I'm keeping on going.

EXHALES DEEPLY No.

I'm not good. I... I just... SOBS

I don't know if I can cope with this.

The longer it goes on, the... the more...

the more I just... just feel so hopeless.

I don't know...

I don't know what to do. 'OK.'

Right. I'm... I'm joining you.

Well, what about your job?

Oh, they're just gonna have to find another person to fly out and...

and take over.

PHONE RINGS

C-Can you...? Can you give me till tomorrow?

Babes?

'Are you sure about coming?'

Yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I should've...

I should've come as soon as she went missing.

I... I-I need to be with you.

Thank you, sweetheart. I really appreciate it.

I really...

Do you know...

...I think I've got an idea about... about something I can do.

Geniesse deinen Tag.

Excuse me. I need a favour.

Please ask, if I can help...

Do you have a printer?

So, that was where she made the call?

Do you have the location where she sent the message?

Got it.

If you can send the full call log over as soon as you get it.

Appel manque.

Lieutenante?

Yes, these are all Katie's things.

She's had this bear since she was three.

She'd never go anywhere without it.

What does this mean? Is it good or... or bad?

I think it's good.

It means she could still be in the area.

It's odd, don't you think...

...where it was found, just sitting there?

I've got the location she tried to call you from the other night.

Half a mile from Xavier's caravan.

And no sign of him?

No, not yet. We'll find him.

And the "Help me, Mum" message was sent from the middle of the town.

Well, that's weird, isn't it? It's all a bit weird.

I think you should interview the Morvans again.

I don't trust them. They're a very strange family.

If we interviewed everyone who's strange,

we'd have the whole town in here.

It's happened before.

There was a local girl who went missing, Odile Lambert.

She was more or less the same age as Katie.

Her mother reported her missing five years ago, almost to the day.

No-one saw her again.

All they found was her bag at the monument.

Two bags...

belonging to two missing girls were found at the same place?

This is no coincidence.

Somebody wanted us to discover it there.

A-And you said... almost the exact same day?

So another exchange was happening.

School didn't say anything, neither did Jason.

Your partner?

Yeah, he works for the company that brings them.

He's done it for a decade or so.

Why did nobody say anything? VIRGINIE SIGHS

Because Saint-Michel does what it does best

when it comes to the uncomfortable truth -

keeps quiet, hopes everyone forgets.

Nobody is going to forget about Katie.

Ever.
