So we'll check our database and see
if anyone looks like this guy.

I'll have a description issued
in France, Poland and Europol.

-That's the kidnapper?
-Yeah.

-Any idea who he is?
-No.

The murdered girl in France
is Danish. Victoria Svendsen.

Her residence is listed as
Kragebakkegård on Lolland.

-Did we trace the phone?
-We can't trace it in Germany.

The French will get info
from European phone companies.

The car drove directly to Paris. We
tracked the signal to this building.

I've never seen her.

My partner Fabien lives here with me.

This is a bag
from a Danish supermarket.

We need you to come down
to the station.

I want my children!
Let me go!

What have you done?

She is going into labour.

Her waters haven't broken yet,
but she is almost fully dilated.

Push, you can do it.
Push, you can do it.

Her heart rate is dropping.
Come on, push harder. Harder.

I'm going to puncture
the amniotic sac.

-What's happening?
-Lie still. It's all right.

The waters are breaking
but she'll need a little help.

-Anaesthetic, please.
-I don't want to.

-Anaesthetic.
-No, I don't want to.

Now push!

I need to make a little incision
but you won't feel anything.

You won't feel anything.

She is coming.

Here's the head. Push harder.

Due to Danish police's interest
in the case,

this interview will be in English.

-Any objections?
-No.

The signal from Victoria's phone
was traced from Denmark

directly to your home in Paris.

We will analyse the DNA
of the Danish shopping bag,

and if we find that she brought it,
then we'll know.

-What did you do to her?
-Nothing.

Is this guy an acquaintance of yours?

-No, not an acquaintance.
-But he was there.

So what happened?

Victoria's telephone
was switched off past nine

while we assume
she was in the apartment.

That was the last sign of life
we have.

Her body was found two days later...

...in a marsh just outside Auxerre.

-We have nothing to do with that.
-We'll see.

Your apartment is being searched
as a crime scene

and you're being charged
as an accomplice.

So if you don't agree with that,
I suggest you tell us what happened.

All right. Nothing happened.

-That guy switched off her phone.
-Why?

She wanted to take a picture of Leó.
Our son.

He got angry
and took the phone from her.

They spoke.
I didn't understand them.

-Did they speak Danish?
-Maybe. I don't know.

What was Victoria doing
in your apartment?

That's... That's Leó's mother.

So who is this guy? Leó's father?

No, I'm Leó's father. This guy works
for Bliss. I don't know his name.

"Bliss"? What's that?

It's a Danish provider
of surrogate services.

"Surrogate services?"
What do you mean?

That Victoria was a surrogate mother?

-Yes.
-She was 18 years old!

It came as a shock to us.

We never saw her before.
We had no idea she was... that young.

Victoria gave birth
seven weeks before her trip to Paris.

-You questioned the foster parents.
-They said nothing about it.

-The authorities must've reacted.
-She was of age, almost 19.

It was likely a homebirth. She named
the Frenchman as the father.

She had a Danish passport made
for the baby,

and transferred the custody
to the French father.

We'd better bring the foster parents
in for questioning.

We've always dreamt
of becoming parents.

But it's difficult for gays to adopt,

and surrogate mothers
are illegal in France.

How did you get in contact
with Bliss?

We found Bliss online
through a forum for childless people.

-How did you communicate?
-Via the site.

The mother would be Danish, and the
baby would come with Danish papers.

Leó's birth certificate.

And Victoria's declaration
of transfer of custody

with the Danish authorities.

-So how did it happen?
-In the hotel.

We booked a room ourselves
and flew to Copenhagen.

I gave my semen
and made the first instalment.

40,000 euros. Cash.
And the receipt for the room.

-Who received the money?
-The nurse. It was only her.

She dealt with the formalities

and a week after,
the result was positive.

And no alarm bells went off?

We realised we were in a grey zone,
but we didn't have any other options.

-What was the name of the nurse?
-Aveline.

That's all?

No phone number? You had been
in contact with her, right?

No, everything was online.

But they were on top of things
and good at communicating.

Discretion was a price
for doing it this way.

We had to live
with not being part of the process.

They kept us updated
and sent us scan photos.

We could follow from a distance and
write to Victoria. She seemed mature

and wrote about the joy
of helping others passing it on.

We offered to stay in contact,
so she could see Leó grow up.

She will always be his mother, right?
As a part of his identity.

-What did Victoria say about that?
-I think she would have liked to,

but the guy you showed me earlier
said no.

You should see this. From the lab.
It's about Victoria.

-Welcome. Please, sit down.
-Thank you.

-Coffee?
-No, thank you.

Why didn't you tell us
that Victoria had a son?

That can't surprise you.

It says here that
the child was born at your place.

-Two months ago.
-That can't be true.

The evidence is quite tangible.
The child is called Leó.

I don't know what to say.
It can't be true.

-Could she have been pregnant?
-That seems highly unlikely.

Leó's French father paid
80,000 euro for Victoria's effort.

-You didn't notice that either?
-Hell no!

That's a huge sum.

That might be distracting, or it
might stimulate a lack of attention.

-You're suggesting we were involved?
-Oxlev.

One moment.
What?

-It's Rolf.
-Rolf?

Victoria was never pregnant.
Forensics precludes it.

Victoria can't have been
Leó's mother.

-Who is it, then?
-No idea.

The French parents
seem just as surprised as us.

Have Neel check the hotel
where Moreau gave his semen.

You'll be taken home.
Bye.

They've been allowed to go home.

There's no evidence indicating that
Victoria was killed in the apartment.

I still can't figure out why Victoria
pretended to be the mother.

DNA confirms Victoria is not Leó's
mother. But there's something else.

-What is it?
-It's Leó.

You can call me if you need anything.

-Thank you.
-Goodbye.

Wait! Just a moment.

I'm afraid I can't
let you take the child.

-Pardon?
-What? What's the problem?

We may have broken the law on
surrogacy, but we're devastated.

I know. But DNA tests show
that you're not the father.

-What?
-What are you saying?

-It appears you were lied to.
-That's not true.

The DNA test is conclusive.
Bliss sold you someone else's child.

If you need time to say goodbye,
then that's fine,

but I can't let you leave with Leó.

-No. He's our son.
-We're leaving, get out of my way.

-Get out of my way.
-You have to hand him over.

There's nothing we can do.

It seems Victoria has been used
to "launder" someone else's baby.

The foster parents are quite upset.

They don't know why
she would claim to have a child.

Nothing on her PC points to contact
with the kidnapper.

Did you check
the hotel in Copenhagen?

There are no traces of Bliss. Moreau
booked and paid for the room himself.

-What about video surveillance?
-It was deleted after 30 days.

French police have created
a false ad to lure out Bliss.

I think there are more children.
Bliss wasn't just created for Leó.

Where would the children come from?
A baby theft will get noticed.

Well, it happens. The culprit
is the same one who took Minna.

Minna was 11 months old. No-one
would believe she was new-born.

I don't know.

-For now, three babies are missing.
-Three?

It seems that Victoria
went somewhere else before France.

She used her credit card in Gedser
just before she went to France.

She bought towelettes and a dummy.

Gedser?
Could she have been in Poland?

Ask the foster parents whether
they know where Victoria was then.

Yeah?

I just had a long talk with Karol
from the police in Tworóg.

There are several cases
of missing children

and quite a few dealing
with illegal adoption.

Poland has some of the strictest laws
on abortion in the world

which sends many
unwanted children into circulation.

You don't need
a fake surrogate mother

-if the real mother agrees to it.
-I don't know.

It sounds like an interesting
environment for baby trafficking.

-Could be.
-Are there indications

that the perpetrator
had connections to the area?

It's possible that Victoria
went to Poland before France.

Well, there you go.

I'll fly to Tworóg tomorrow and see
if Leó can be traced to the area.

-Yeah. I'll meet you down there.
-Goodnight.

-Hello.
-Hi, it's me.

Are you still in France?

No, I...
I'm home for a very short time.

I wanted to drop by and apologise
if I fucked it up for you yesterday.

-I didn't mean to hurt you.
-How did it go?

-We found a boy.
-What boy?

The guy that took Minna back then...

He also took an infant boy.

What about the car you mentioned?
The one on the ferry?

I'm going to Poland tomorrow.
The boy might be from there, I think.

I don't know what to say.

Don't say anything.
I don't know if that's the case.

I'll call you
if there's anything new.

-Yes... Yes. Bye.
-See you.

The foster parents confirmed

Victoria wasn't home
the weekend before Paris.

She could have been
on a detour to Poland.

We've been through all cases
of missing children

-from the last ten years.
-Nothing fits the baby from Paris.

You see quite a few cases

of women giving up their children
for adoption, for a fee?

Polish law doesn't allow trafficking.
Adoption is a grey area.

There have been amendments
to the law.

Abortion is permitted
only in rare cases,

so quite a few get into trouble.

-Any cases of organized trafficking?
-None that I know of.

In theory, Leó could be a victim
of trafficking of unwanted babies.

Could we get a closer look
at some of those cases?

What is this?
What does it say here?

A birth clinic. Apparently,
there have been some allegations.

Women have accused the clinic
of stealing their babies.

-This clinic is in Stalowa Wola?
-Yes.

Isn't that where the stolen car
from the ferry was found?

A woman claimed they had taken
her newborn twins.

False accusations, it seems.

Still-born babies.
Women who miscarried.

Here, drink some.

Where is she?

Don't move.
You have got fresh stitches.

My daughter, I want to see her.

I am really sorry.

Where is she?

She didn't make it.

That's not her.

-Let me go.
-Stay here. You mustn't get up.

Leave me alone.

There were complications
due to your fall.

-There was nothing we could do.
-No, that's not true.

-There is no access to the ward.
-My daughter's in there.

-I want to see her!
- Your little girl is with God now.

She was so beautiful and so tiny,
but she wasn't ready for life.

No, it's not true.
I heard her, she was alive.

-You took her.
-We've told you to stay calm.

Give me the key.

-You need to rest now.
-Let go of me.

Open up!
Julita, open up!

Hello? I'd like to report a crime.

You've got to help me.
My child has been stolen.

In Mandorla.

At 34 Rozwadowska Street. Yes,
Sisters Of Sacred Mercy Birth Clinic.

I know how it sounds.
But you have to believe me.

Can you please come
as quickly as you can?

Julita, open that door
and let me in, please.

Hello? It's me again, Julita Sienko.

Yes, from Mandorla. When are you
going to send an officer?

But why hasn't anybody come yet?

Open the door, Julita.
The police are here.

This is the police. Open up, please.

Okay. Thank you, they are here now.
Thank you, Officer.

The police would like to speak
to you, Sister.

What can I do for you, Officer?

As I said

we help young pregnant women,

who don't have the necessary means.

But why is this of interest
to the Danish police, Officer?

Do you send children
to other countries?

It's not up to us
where the children go.

Some of them go
to international adoption, yes.

To France,
through a company called Bliss?

I don't know that company.

There are three government-approved
adoption centres in Poland.

We work for the Catholic
Adoptive Guardian Centre.

We follow
the Hague Convention adoption rules.

All adoptions are documented
and subject to annual revisions.

And what about this one?
Sienko, Julita.

She accused you of showing her
a dead child that wasn't hers.

That's five years ago.
Sienko.

-Miss Sienko?
-Yes.

-Thank you so much for coming.
-The poor girl has lost her child.

We tried to save it
but it was still-born.

That's not true. They've taken
my baby. I heard my baby.

We all know how much
it meant for her to become a mother.

-No one can blame her now.
-No, she is lying.

They sedated me and took her away,
just like they took Irenka's twins.

Dear child,
we understand your grief and pain.

-We are here for you.
-Are you?

Where is she then?
Why can't I see her?

They are hiding her.
You have to believe me. I heard her.

-Where is the child?
-In the infants' ward.

-But they won't let me in.
-This is a serious accusation.

Where is the infants' ward?

Follow me, gentlemen.

Each child gets a number
with their date of birth.

This is medical documentation
with adoption declarations

signed by each mother
of their own free will.

-Irenka's twins.
-No, these two are orphans.

They were delivered
through our baby hatch a week ago.

They are getting
light therapy for jaundice.

That's a boy.
Little Kacper.

-You're hiding her.
-Come here, my child.

Number 49, born yesterday.
Where is she?

We had prepared the cradle. Sadly...
Here is the death certificate.

No.

It's not true, it's a lie.

-You have to believe me, please.
-Calm down, please.

Where is the child now?

We wanted to spare you the pain,
after everything you've been through.

She is very cold.
Why is she so cold?

She must be in a cool store
until the funeral day.

Why didn't you show her
to me before?

You were in shock.

That's not her.

That's not her. Her hair is black.
This is not my child.

But it's normal for their hair
to be dark when they are born.

I am terribly sorry.
Your child is dead.

No, she is alive.
That's not her.

She's alive. She's alive...

They have taken her.
You have taken her.

Do you remember her?

Yes, she was that pretty girl

who had a puerperal psychosis.

Yes, that's right.

The poor girl's baby was still-born

and she got a psychosis.

Many women accuse Mandorla
of having taken their babies.

We're helping many women.

But pregnancies don't always end
the way everyone hopes for.

We all react differently to losing
a child. Denial is not uncommon.

Where do the babies come from?

-What do you mean?
-The babies that are not born here.

-Some are delivered anonymously.
-By whom?

By mothers who don't feel capable
of raising their own children. Why?

So anyone could just deliver
a baby here?

Not anyone has a baby.

-What does a baby cost?
-What do you mean?

What do you get for a baby
when you sell them for adoption?

We don't sell children.

We are a non-profit organisation. We
help unfortunate, vulnerable women

find good and safe homes
for their children.

This Julita Sienko, was she going
to give up her baby for adoption?

-Her baby died.
-Oh, yeah. You said that.

If it had survived, would she
have kept it or given it up?

It's so long ago.
I really cannot answer that.

Prayer is starting now, so if there
is nothing else I can do for you...

Is that Mandorla's emblem
you have there in your rosary?

It belongs to our order,
Sisters of Sacred Mercy.

I want to find Julita.
I think she's on to something.

-Are you sure it's here?
-1506.... Sorry, 1506 should be here.

Sorry? Do you know Julita Sienko?
She's supposed to live here.

We're looking for Julita Sienko.
Does she live here or nearby maybe?

We've just moved in. It was empty
for many years before that.

The house has been empty for years.
They just moved in.

-Sorry.
-Thank you.

It's Karol. Yes?

Hey, mister.

Is that for me?
Thank you.

Your colleagues in Denmark
have discovered something.

Victoria called her mother the week
before she went to France.

From a pay phone at a gas station.

The same gas station where
the witness saw Minna five years ago.

So let's go.

Julita, my dear child,
that's horrible. What will you do?

I'm going to find out what happens
to the children at Mandorla.

And I'm going to find my daughter.

But you can't be sure
if they lied to you back then.

And if the baby they showed you...

No one who gives birth at Mandorla
takes their children home, no one!

I need to hurry before they give her
away for adoption.

-Good evening.
-Hurry up.

Here are the twins.
And here's a sweet little girl.

The call came from the payphone
at 12:24 p.m.

-There she is.
-Yeah.

She bought diapers.

Could we see the outside camera,
please?

This must be
where she calls her mother.

That's him. That's the guy.

-Danish license plates.
-Yes.

-Where is he going? What's there?
-Not much.

-Some woods and an old convent.
-A convent?

Yes, Sisters of Sacred Mercy.

A convent of the Sisters of...
Sacred Mercy.

That's the order that runs Mandorla.
