Original subtitles

You follow that kid to his school.

Now what, you're trying to get close to him by sleeping with his father?

Your DBS certificate - we're not entirely sure that it's genuine.

The people who got me my papers - they want more money.

The couple who never came forward -

could this be the man?

Daniel and I were wondering if you wanted

to do something over half tum. Just tell me where you live.

Can I ask you a question about Mum?

Jesus Christ, will you get out?!

So sign the document or stay away from us

and stop putting us through this.

I'm Tom, aren't I?

Tom!

Tom!

Tom!

Tom!

Tom!

HE LAUGHS

There.

All done.

So I guess he kidnapped me, then? Is that what happened?

I don't know yet.

But I'm going to find out.

What happens now?

We send this off.

In 24 hours, we'll get the results back, and then we'll have proof.

And then what?

And then we get out of here.

Have you any idea where he keeps your passport?

I'm not even sure I've got one.

You've never been abroad?

We usually go away in England.

Anywhere Dad, um... where he had a project on.

We'll need to find you one.

Come with me.

Wherever we go, you know he'll come after us.

He's never liked me out of his sight.

You don't have to worry about him any more.

We'll be long gone by then anyway.

Where are we even going?

Well, where in the world would you most like to see?

All of it.

Me too.

Are you sure he won't know you're missing until the morning?

No.

I mean, he'll work until two or three in the morning and go to bed.

And then he'll wake me up for the bus to school.

- OK. Don't answer the door to anyone. - What are you doing?

I'm going to post this.

Can't I come with you?

There's something I need to do alone so that we can disappear.

But why do we need to disappear if we can prove I'm Tom?

We can't yet.

But I'm not sure there's anything for us here anyway.

We'll find somewhere new.

Start again. I won't be long.

SHOUTING

BABY CRIES IN DISTANCE

Ade?

Ade?

- Who is it? - It's me, Jodie.

What happened to your face?

Why are you here?

Look, I...

I went to the cashpoint and my card was declined and then I just...

Look, Ade, I need you to take me to the men that did this to you now.

Then you really tell them off good, yeah? They apologise?

Won't happen again, Ma'am!

All is well!

No, I need something from them.

Not a chance.

If you don't tell me, I'll go myself.

I'll find them.

You think you'll be safe because you're a woman?

Just tell me where they are.

I can't protect you from them.

HE KNOCKS

Daniel?

Daniel?

I'm sorry I got angry.

Daniel?

You got some papers for me - a DBS certificate for school.

I need something else.

Well, I'm not a fucking mind-reader.

A UK passport for a child.

He's 14.

You haven't paid me for the last job yet.

I paid you and then you put the price up.

What you asked me for was difficult.

And then you had Ade beaten up for nothing.

Business.

- I need it by tomorrow. - Tomorrow?

A lot of money.

5,000.

I can get you three.

Maybe you find someone else before tomorrow.

Fine.

Three.

I do you favour.

There won't be another penny and you won't touch Ade again, OK?

You have picture?

Let me see.

Bring me the money tomorrow.

We're going away for a while.

The passport was a clue.

You can't tell Yasmin or Jerzy or anyone until I've gone, OK?

You promise me?

What are you running from?

It's what I'm running to.

Yasmin will miss you.

Jerzy, I have no idea.

I will.

You can't go back to that flat.

I'll come to work tomorrow and give you the key to mine.

You tell Yasmin that you can stay there for as long as you need, OK?

You're kind.

Unreliable, but kind.

I hope you find what you're looking for.

Tom?

Tom?

Tom?

Tom?

Tom?

Where's Daniel?

I don't know.

Has anyone seen him?

No.

- Mr McKenzie. - Ah, Miss Walsh.

Daniel Tanner, Year 9 -

did he register this morning?

I've just had an email from the GTC.

How is it they haven't heard of you?

The boy signed in - yes or no?

It's a very serious offence you've committed, Miss Walsh.

Miss Walsh - if that is your name.

Sorry?

I knew something wasn't right about you.

Help me out here, Miss Towne.

What is the point of you?

I'm sorry?

You've got no idea how privileged you are here,

how you could inspire people,

encourage them, shape their lives.

But instead you just obsess about your stupid little rules.

You need to wait here until we sort this out.

Yeah. You know what?

I don't think this is the right job for you.

Jodie!

Hi.

- Hello. - I was hoping to catch you.

Yes. Is Daniel OK? He didn't register.

He's fine.

We're just starting half term early.

No more classes today?

No. School's pretty much out for me too.

So there's nowhere you need to be?

No.

Well, listen, he really wants to see you. Why don't you hop in?

Yeah. OK.

Where are we going?

Well, we promised you an outing.

But what about Daniel?

He's already there. It's a surprise.

I hope I'm not talking out of turn, but he really likes you.

I don't know, you think you're doing OK as a dad

and then, after all this time, you realise the obvious.

He's missed having a woman around.

What happened to her? His mother?

Let's just try and enjoy the day, shall we?

Won't be a minute.

- Hey, Jodie? - Jason? Jason, I'm about...

Jodie?

...20 minutes north of the city on a building site.

Jodie, where are you? Hello? Can you hear me?

Jason, can you hear me?

LINE CRACKLES

Jodie? Tell me again.

- I'm with Mark Tanner. - Jodie... Jodie, you're breaking up.

Jason, can you hear me? I'm with...

It's an awful signal here.

We're working on it.

She can't hear me.

Jason Walsh, QC!

Youngest in my chambers.

- Your father'd be proud. - I know.

- It was always going to happen. - Ah.

You're all we ever used to talk about.

More money too, I expect.

Mm. Higher fees, certainly.

More interesting cases.

You clever boy!

SHE LAUGHS

But the best thing about it is you get to

sit in front of the junior barristers.

And all they can do is stare enviously at your back.

We should celebrate with Jodie.

God knows this family could do with all the good news we can get. Ha!

Well, here's to you, Mum, because, without you, who knows where I'd be?

You put it on paper, you build a model, and then you watch it

all come to life, and then people actually live in your drawings.

I'll never get used to it.

Where's Daniel?

Most of them have been sold already, but I was thinking

about getting this one for Daniel as an investment when he's older.

Where is he?

He's inside.

How come no-one's around?

Landscapers don't start till tomorrow.

Go on through.

HE LOCKS DOOR

I'd offer you a drink, but nothing's plumbed in.

It's all just for show.

Why are we here?

I think we're both looking for answers.

You certainly seem to be interested in my wife.

You can't stop asking about her.

Daniel barely knows the first thing about her.

I find that weird.

She's dead.

He thinks you're lying about how she died.

Maybe you could tell me. Unless you're hiding something.

Mark?

You're the one that's hiding something!

What kind of man do you think I am?

You think I'm just going to sit back and let you take him from me?

Where is he?

You think he's the boy you lost, don't you?

Now you're trying to steal him from me.

Steal him?

Last night, he snuck out of the house to come and see you.

Mark...

You've convinced him that you're his mother!

This ends now!

It's locked.

My brother knows I'm here.

You didn't know yourself till a minute ago.

There's no signal.

I mean, do you honestly think I'm just going to sit back

and let you take my son?

He's my son.

You abducted him.

You know, I think your grief has made you mad.

Or maybe yours has.

You need help.

Your boy's gone, Jodie.

And there's no fucking way I'm letting you have mine!

METAL CLATTERS

Oh, God!

Ah!

Jodie?

Jodie?

Jodie! Jodie!

Jodie!

Daniel?

Daniel!

Oh, thank God!

What are you doing here?

- You have to trust me. - OK.

- We need to go now. - Why?

Just come with me. Pack a couple of things. We've only got a minute.

Please, come on.

How come you've got his car?

I'll tell you when we're safe.

No!

I want you to tell me now.

He took me to one of his housing projects and said you were there.

When you weren't, I got scared.

I thought he might have done something to you.

What, leaving me at home, watching telly?

He knows who I am, and that you're my son.

He threatened me.

Daniel, he could be right behind us.

Just wait here.

I'll only be five minutes.

Actually, you know what? You'd better come with me.

What are we doing here?

You'll see. But no matter what happens, don't say a word.

Hello?

WOMAN: You're wrong, Sean doesn't like me...

Hello?

This is the boy?

- Do you have it? - You have the money?

That's everything I owe you.

Passport?

Perfect job, yes?

One problem... not enough money.

- 2,000 more. - You promised me.

There was more risk, more work.

Perfect job - have to pay extra.

I haven't another penny.

Then I keep this and the boy until you get it.

No.

I'll do you a deal.

OK. Why not?

Go and get your bag out of the car.

OK... for now.

This one is mine, OK?

When you said we'd travel, I thought you meant further away.

No, my car. Shit!

OK, let's go.

ENGINE STARTS

Right.

One last stop.

Where are we now?

This is where I work.

We've a lot to catch up on.

Yeah, he's um... He's the son of some friends of mine.

You don't know them. I've been...

I've just been looking after him for a couple of days, so, um...

They're breaking up, and...

What?

I'm just trying to remember the last time

a word came out of your mouth that was true.

Yas, listen...

You don't have any friends I don't know,

and you've lost most of the ones I do.

I'm trying to protect you.

Yeah, that'll be it.

You and me, we're just colleagues now, isn't it?

We don't have to tell each other anything.

Why are you even here?

I stole three and a half grand from the business account.

Sorry?

- I had no choice. - You're fucking kidding me?

Wow!

Look, that's it, Jodie.

I don't care what kind of breakdown you're going through,

I am so done with you!

And I'm going to need the rest of it, just to tide us over,

so what is it - three or four grand in there?

- And... - And one of my kidneys? Both?

No. The van.

I think the police might be looking for my car.

SHE SCOFFS

Go fuck yourself, Jodie. Give me the business card, now.

This is the key to my car.

It's got to be worth at least a couple of thousand.

This is the key to my front door.

The card!

Upstairs in the bedroom, on top of the wardrobe, there's a guitar.

Oh, right, yeah, so I can go busking for the rest, then, shall I?

It's a vintage Martin. Do not take less than five grand for it.

It's a wedding present from Ben. You'd be doing me a favour.

I don't understand.

It's Tom.

What?

It's my son.

What are you talking about?

I found him.

- That can't be right. - Yeah, I know.

I found him and the man who took him from me.

What? You've gone to the police, though, yeah?

No! What, and risk

giving him back to his abductor till it's all cleared up?

So what are you going to do?

- When I get the DNA results... - What, so you're not certain?

No, I just need proof.

That's Tom?

Jesus!

This is...

Look, I told Ade that he can stay in my house for... well,

as long as he wants.

You're coming back, though, yeah?

When it's safe.

Van keys?

It's time to go.

Where now?

We're going to drive to the port, get the ferry to France,

and then who knows?

Do you feel more like a Tom or a Daniel?

Definitely not a Joshua.

Memorise the date of birth.

Thank you.

Now, would you mind pulling over into the next bay for me,

please, Miss? Just routine.

Mm-hm.

Yes.

OK, well, thank you for that.

I will.

The boy was travelling under a false passport.

They're being taken to Byron Street Police Station now for questioning.

Has she gone completely mad?

What was she doing, trying to take some little boy to France?

Ben!

Yeah, I think I can have a go at that one.

She'd become convinced lately that she'd found Tom.

Found him? Where?

- On his way to school. - What?

Why didn't you say anything?

I thought she'd see reason.

She's under pressure, what with the tenth anniversary on the horizon.

I thought it would blow over.

She needs sectioning.

What charges could she face?

Kidnap.

Probably lessen it to child abduction

if we can argue her case,

but travelling under a false identity document -

I mean, she's looking at at least ten years alone for that.

You should go to her.

Make sure she's all right.

She needs a solicitor.

She needs her brother.

Mum, I'm family.

It's highly irregular.

You owe her, Jason.

And if you're such a brilliant lawyer,

now's the time to start acting like one.

FOOTSTEPS APPROACH

OK, so this is the boy you think is your son, right?

It's Tom.

His father's here at the station - Mark Tanner.

His abductor.

Please, don't let him take him.

We have your DNA, the boy's and Mr Tanner's,

so we'll have this cleared up soon enough.

So, all this with the school, the DBS certificate

and everything, that was to try and get closer to Daniel?

Yeah.

And you were hoping to take him on a ferry to France?

Yeah.

Did Daniel come with you on his own accord?

Well, I thought so.

It wasn't forced in any way?

He was there because he wanted to be?

Why don't you ask him?

They're not letting me see him.

I don't know, they're not telling me anything.

They asked me to give a DNA sample.

What was I supposed to do?

OK, look, listen, listen.

I think I'm going to need a criminal lawyer.

So you're testing all three of them?

We already have. Just waiting on the results to come back.

If there's any doubt about the paternity,

my client should be out on bail.

Are you even allowed to represent your own sister?

Would I be here if I wasn't?

If it goes to trial, I'll probably have to find someone else.

Yeah, well, let's see who gets charged with what when the tests come back.

I'm just worried about her alone in that cell.

If she gets sent down, I'm not sure how long she'd survive.

Do you want to see her now?

Yeah.

Hiya, Jodie.

I'm going to get you out of here as soon as I can.

But why didn't you tell me about Tom, Jodie?

I don't know.

I just thought, if I kept him to myself, I wouldn't lose him again.

And now I have.

And what made you think it was Tom?

The way he moved.

His smile.

Then I saw the scar and I knew it was him.

Is he here? Have you seen him?

No.

No, not yet.

And why wasn't Ben convinced?

Probably Kate.

Maybe she thought, if Tom was back, she'd lose her husband.

Ironic, huh?

You need to stay strong until I can get you out.

It's not going to be long.

Just... Just don't give up.

DOOR CLOSES

Thanks a lot.

Yeah, hi.

I know. I know.

Listen... Listen to me, you need to do something for me.

It's urgent.

KNOCKING

KNOCKING CONTINUES

Ade, have you heard what's happened?

They wouldn't even let them onto the ferry.

She spent all our money on a fake passport!

She may as well just have drawn her own with crayons.

What will happen to the boy?

Either back with that man or put into care.

Nothing good.

Because of the passport.

I think she was just beginning

to get her life back together before this.

But now...

Where you going?

They won't let you see her!

Ade!

Where's my son?

He's safe.

I don't understand what's happening. Nobody's talking to me.

You won't even let me see him.

This is just standard procedure, Mr Tanner.

She tried to take my son from me.

She stole my car. She assaulted me, look.

And then there's all that stuff with the school.

What is that? Stalking? Grooming?

I don't know.

It's clearly not rational behaviour.

And yet it's me in here, answering all these questions, and not her!

We're questioning both of you.

You know, if you let her go,

my son and I will probably have to go into hiding.

I think she's capable of anything.

Where is he? Where's my son?

I want to talk to Daniel!

As soon as we have the DNA results.

Until they come through,

I'm going to have to ask you to remain at the station.

Argh!

Argh!

Argh!

Argh!

Argh!

Argh! Argh!

Argh!

Argh! Argh! Argh! Argh!

BOTTLE RATTLES

Jodie?

Jodie, we've got some news we wanted you to hear straight away.

- Do you want to? - No, it's all yours.

We've just had the results back from the DNA test, and Mark Tanner's

match with Daniel is 0%, your match with Daniel is 99.65%.

What?

It's official - Daniel is Tom.

He's your son.

You've got Daniel, you've put me in here.

Isn't that enough for you?

What happened to Tom that day is largely down to you.

But you know that, don't you?

He's taken Daniel somewhere. Now the police are looking for them!

What's your opinion on Daniel?

Do you actually believe he's Tom?

We have to put an end to this. It's time.

Daniel!
