Bloody hell!

Who is it?

What?

Daddy?

Daddy, it's Léa.

Daddy, if you're there, pick up!

Please pick up!

Daddy, I...

THE DISAPPEARANCE

EPISODE THREE

This is Léa's voicemail.

Leave me a message...

Voicemail again, dammit!

This is Léa's voicemail. Leave me a message...

- What's going on? - Your sister called!

What did Léa say?

Come here.

She sent her love.

- Why doesn't she answer? - This is Léa's voicemail.

Leave me a message.

Daddy.

Daddy, it's Léa.

If you're there, pick up!

Please pick up!

Daddy, I...

Move it!

It's a cry for help. Do something!

I want to know from where she made the call.

Geolocation will tell us.

Why didn't you do that before?

Her phone was switched off until last night.

Daddy.

Daddy, it's Léa.

Daddy, if you're there, pick up!

Please pick up!

Daddy, I...

Sure it's Léa's voice?

I know my own daughter's voice!

She's the only one who calls him Daddy.

That call means she was abducted, and may have escaped.

No. Nothing so far proves it was an abduction.

We'll tap your phones just in case. We'll check your home,

your mail, your computers.

We're doing everything we can. You should go home.

Not without my daughter.

I'll fetch you some water. Take your time.

I'll bring it straight back.

You OK?

I want to see my sister.

I want to see her, too.

When's she coming back?

I don't know, sweetie.

- Can I borrow your computer? - If you want.

Yes! Do you have lots of games?

I have the one you like.

Wait here, I'll be right back.

This is Romain.

Say what you have to say and I'll call you back.

Romain, this is Chris.

I know you don't want to speak to me,

but you have to call me.

Léa left a message.

Daddy?

Daddy, it's Léa.

Daddy, if you're there, pick up!

Please pick up!

Daddy, I...

What do you think?

She's scared. She's whispering.

Maybe because her abductors are there.

She hangs up abruptly.

She addresses only her father.

She wasn't thinking.

Daddy's the protector of the family.

- Can we hear the voicemail? - Yes.

This is Léa's voicemail.

Leave me a message.

- Analyse both recordings. - OK.

- You think it may be someone else? - That's what I want to find out.

The parents say it's her voice.

They hear what they want to hear.

You'd mistake your daughter's voice?

If she'd been missing for days, yes.

- What did the cops say? - What do you think?

Daddy?

Daddy, it's Léa.

Daddy, if you're there, pick up!

Please pick up!

Daddy, I...

- They're locating the call. - By which time

they'll have found her body. No!

Léa is alive! You heard her! It's her voice!

Pick up...

Please pick up! Daddy!

Daddy, it's Léa.

- Daddy, if you're there, pick up! - Stop it.

Please pick up!

Daddy, I...

- Stop it, goddammit! - Give me that!

Stop it!

You really think they'll find her?

Yes, I'm sure of it.

I have to go to the restaurant.

Stay with your mother. I don't want to leave her like this.

- I was meeting Audrey. - That's OK.

You should go out.

I'll ask Sophie to stop by.

- I'll put them... - In the mail box.

- Move it! - Sorry, I'm going.

I just came to drop off the keys.

Help us out.

Table 5, Jean.

Coming. Coming.

OK?

Enjoy your meal.

Give me a carafe, please.

Thanks.

Let me know if you need anything, OK?

- We need to talk. - Not now.

I have to show you something.

My scanner picks up the cops' radio.

I can keep you informed.

How are you getting the police?

Like this.

The guy who sold me the car made it.

So I told no-balls I'm not taking my summer holiday at Christmas

because Roulier forgot to book time off.

I'll just call in sick.

You should have seen his face!

I tell you.

He needs me to take care of your cases.

- Sorry you have to do my work. - Forget it.

Besides, it makes a change from births and marriages.

Here.

They breed like rabbits!

By the way, the plans for the high-speed train

have gone missing.

- Did you bring them home? - No, I've got nothing here.

Right. Time to eat.

Here.

Why did Léa call Julien and not me?

I don't know. Her father was always...

When she was little, she wouldn't sleep

until he'd checked for monsters under the bed.

That's true.

I don't know why I said that.

No, he doesn't know.

I'll stay with my brother tonight.

You know I do.

Me too.

I have to go.

What's going on?

- Sir, stop! - You found something?

- Well? - The result shows Léa called you

from here.

Maillard wants to know what to do about Miribel.

Molina.

No, don't leave a car there!

The park's huge!

Bring all the teams back here. Now!

They stopped searching the park? Her card was there!

It could have been stolen.

But we know she called from here.

Someone could have seen her getting on a train.

We have to concentrate resources here.

Resources?

If you'd put more men on it, you'd have found her!

Just calm down

and go away. You're no use here.

And what use are you?

You'll see what use I am.

You'll see!

OK, guys, go!

Go.

Guess what? They stopped searching the park.

- They know what they're doing. - Her card was found there!

Someone must have seen something.

I'll go to the park. You go to the station.

Hand them over.

Hello. Sorry, I...

- Chris said Léa called. Any news? - No.

Can I help?

- No, thanks. - I'm going to the station.

Come if you want.

OK.

MIRIBEL PARK

Have you seen her around?

Hello. Did you see anything?

- I'm sorry. - Thanks.

Seek.

Open the boot.

- Nothing? - No, we'll go this way.

Nothing.

We've done from rue d'Enghien to rue Duhamel.

Good. We'll do the back of the station.

- OK. - Let's go.

Bastards!

Come here!

I'll show you!

- I'll smash your face in! - Leave him!

- Fuck! - Let him go.

Come on.

We have more to put up.

I'm sorry.

- I'm sorry. - Come on.

- What? - Can I hear Léa's message?

Thanks.

Daddy, it's Léa.

Daddy, if you're there, pick up!

Please pick up!

Daddy, I...

Shit...

How long do you keep the tapes?

Two weeks, then we record over them.

There. See that?

Got a camera on the other side?

Pause it there.

I can zoom in a bit.

See that?

Maillard,

take two men and find Jenny, the park hooker.

The one who fought with Morel. She was at the station

at the time Léa called her parents.

Why was your van at the station

on the night of Tuesday to Wednesday?

You're very polite. You'll be calling me Miss next.

Just answer the question.

Free movement of people, heard of it?

It's not my speciality.

Quite the reverse.

Well?

No trace of the girl in the van.

DNA results will confirm.

We found a lot of car-park tickets. She works at the station often.

OK. Got the one from that night?

Yes. I kept it to one side.

Arrival and departure.

- The same as the others. - Great. Thanks.

- Is Miribel station through Tête d'O - It's the quickest way.

Get me all the cars flashed there the night Léa disappeared.

We're looking for

Jenny's van.

- I'm having dinner with my mother. - And?

Nothing.

I'll cancel.

Shit!

I thought that was her.

Morning.

I watched the car-park CCTV the night Léa disappeared.

And?

Jenny's van's not there.

But...

But?

Look what I found.

That's Thomas Morel. Where's he going?

Watch this.

The bag's gone.

Time shows 3am.

I checked. He never mentioned going to the station.

Shit!

- Later, darling. - You're coming with us.

Why?

- We want to ask you some questions. - What's going on?

- Just routine inquiries. - Mum!

Just a second, darling.

- No, now! - I said wait. I don't get it.

Are you hiding something?

You're worse than them!

- I need my pony tail! - I told you to wait.

Go to your room!

Try to get some rest.

You won't make it otherwise.

It was my friend's bag. He was leaving.

What friend? What train?

He was just passing through.

I brought him his bag, that's all.

Was your girlfriend with you?

- No, I was alone. - At 3am,

you leave your girl and your friends

to give a bag to an acquaintance. Yes.

His name, the contents of the bag?

I already told you.

I'm holding you in custody as from now, 11.05am.

You have the right to a doctor

and the lawyer of your choice.

If you don't have one, we will appoint one.

He didn't say he went to the station?

I don't know. I can't remember.

If you do, let us know.

Where's Thomas?

In custody.

No, I told you I don't know.

To ask him some questions.

I don't know! Hold on. Zoé,

what are you doing?

You told me to wait in my room. You still haven't done my pony tail.

Hold on a second, please.

Turn round.

Yes.

No, they didn't say, I don't know.

OK. Call me when you get there.

Call me.

OK. I'm going to feed the little one.

Speak to you later.

There.

Now stop jumping on your bed.

Oh, it's ugly!

You can't make a scene every time you disagree with me.

You've no right holding my son.

- Why are you hounding my family? - I'm not.

You're talking rubbish!

You lied about what you were doing that night.

Now Thomas is lying.

My job is to find out why.

How could my son be involved in his sister's disappearance?

I understand your certainty. But what I need is proof.

Monday morning

The Emperor, his wife and the little prince

Came to my house

To shake my hand As I was gone...

- I told you to stop jumping. - You said on MY bed,

not Thomas's bed.

Enough! Get down from there. Go to the kitchen and eat.

Sorry, I'm not hungry and I hate you!

Allow me.

There.

Going on holiday? That's great!

I don't know.

Thomas gave me the key. He just said it was a locker.

You didn't ask any questions?

- No. - Why did you go there today?

When you said he was in custody, I thought I should go there.

Never mind.

Sign your statement. When Thomas tells the truth,

you'll be charged with false testimony.

Audrey has nothing to do with it.

Whatever you say makes no difference.

The night Léa disappears, you go to the station,

from where she calls 6 days later.

You drop off a bag, which is not holiday luggage.

- Explain. - It's nothing to do with Léa.

Then what were you doing with the bag?

We're analysing it.

Prints, DNA. If you've anything to say, say it now.

We'll start again later.

If you don't tell me the truth, I can't help you.

- What is it? - I need your card to go shopping.

What kind of shopping?

Shower gel, toilet paper, washing powder.

I'm sick of eating cereal with no milk.

1570. Don't lose it.

Don't worry.

- Hi. - Hi.

Jenny's van didn't get flashed.

But one car belongs to the garage next to Morel's restaurant.

Let's go.

Here's the receipt. I printed it for you.

Jean Morel?

- Julien's brother. - That's right.

His car

needed a part, so we lent him that one.

- Problem? - No, it's fine. Thanks.

So he wasn't at home all night.

Yes, thank you.

Isn't there one member of that family who hasn't lied?

It's true.

The night my niece disappeared,

I was with my girlfriend, Corinne.

I fell asleep. When Chris called, I rushed over there.

Rush is the word. You were doing 90kph in town.

Chris doesn't know about Corinne. The house was empty...

..and she would ask you why. Yes.

Since her mother died,

I've never told her about my relationships.

Nor will I.

Why didn't you tell us this before?

Because it's not relevant.

Lying to the police is more serious than talking about your love life.

My daughter is upset at her cousin's disappearance.

It wasn't the time to tell her about my love life, as you call it.

Jean stayed with me until his daughter called.

Do you remember the time?

It was around... 3 o'clock.

3.15, maybe.

- Is this about the kid's disappearan - Yes.

Jean "forgot" to tell us he was with you.

No surprise there.

He won't tell Chris about us, so he never stays the night.

Have you been together long?

- Two years. - I see.

Jean told me from the start.

I always knew I had to be patient.

Are you quite sure?

Think hard, it's important.

When I got home, my father was already there.

I already told you that.

And where is my father?

He'll be back.

Commander.

- Was he with his girlfriend? - Yes.

We're wasting time with your bullshit.

- When will you release my son? - When he answers our questions.

- Hi, Alex. So? - Not much left.

The car's been washed twice.

Did you notice anything unusual when Jean returned the car?

- Any marks, or... - No.

It was normal.

OK, thanks. Call me if you find anything.

Wait.

- Molina's not bad, is he? - I'll hook you up if you want.

That is, if you like the autistic typ

Thanks.

- You OK? - Yeah.

They don't let it drop.

- Molina looks at you accusingly. - You should have told them!

This affair is driving you nuts.

I know.

Did they say anything about Thomas?

No.

It's terrible not knowing.

- Is Zoé asleep? - Yes.

I don't get it.

It's the high-speed train site

that was vandalised on Léa's birthday.

OK. So what?

It was in Thomas' room.

Commander Molina? It's Julien Morel.

I have to see you. It's urgent.

Second on the right, 9th floor.

My wife found this in Thomas' room.

That's what he was doing that night.

It's nothing to do with Léa.

It's possible.

Go home. We'll look into it.

Thomas is protecting his mates.

I know it. Release him now.

We'll ask him about these plans.

It's late.

A night in the cells will do your son no harm.

Good night.

CASE NOTES

Put that away, let's eat.

Maybe she just ran away.

Sacred and profane.

- I know the type. - What do you mean?

Her tattoo is a lotus flower.

A symbol of purity.

You should get out more.

Tattoos are boring.

- Good. - I prefer piercings.

By the way,

you need to give me pocket money now you're responsible for me.

Have the California rolls. I don't like them.

Nor do I.

Can I have my bank card back?

- Thanks. - You're welcome.

- Did she ask anything else? - No.

Just what time you left.

I told her the truth.

- Is there a problem? - Not at all.

I just don't want them bothering you.

Want something else?

No, it's fine. I'm just not hungry.

Not even some cheese? You've had nothing.

I'd better go.

I know it's hard for you right now.

But I'm here, and I love you.

Good night, darling.

This explains everything. The station, the bag, the lies.

What's your problem? Protecting your tagging mates?

- Are you holding him? - What do you think?

Molina here.

Any news on Léa?

- Why weren't you at the meeting? - What meeting?

To prepare for the trip to England.

That's why you came?

I'm not going.

Not without Léa.

- I cancelled my booking. - Why didn't you tell me?

It's none of your business.

I'm not stopping you going.

I don't want to go without you.

Chris, you and me never existed, OK?

- Romain? - Yes?

Any news of Léa?

- No. - And the call to her parents.

- No leads? - Not as yet.

You OK?

Come on.

What are you doing here?

I need you.

So do your mum and Zoé.

Letting a family member see a suspect.

What would Louvain say?

Molina will let you go if you talk.

We won't tell him.

- He sent you. - Not only

will you stay here, but you're wasting their time.

What matters is finding your sister. Do you understand?

- Tell them that. - I'm telling you!

I don't care what you did,

or with whom.

- Kids your age do stupid things... - It's not stupid!

Do you know what that thing will destroy?

Are you mad, or what? Forget about the train!

Is that your priority?

It's your sister we're talking about.

Léa.

Do you realise that?

Now Molina can concentrate on the disappearance.

What happens now?

To your unnamed mates, nothing.

As for you, the judge will decide.

Darling...

Darling, we're home.

You left your sister

to go to that bloody site? Mum...

When you came to the town hall,

supposedly to say hello, you stole my plans.

- You took me for an idiot! - Calm down, Florence.

Stop telling me to calm down!

I'm sick of it!

My daughter's missing and my cretin of a son

has dropped everyone in the shit!

Stop shouting! That's why she left. She was sick of you!

She didn't mean it.

No rush for the train file.

- The Morels have enough trouble. - Well?

- Molina? - We're making progress.

With false leads,

lying witnesses, analyses that take forever,

overworked teams, panicking families

and a 17-year-old girl who may already be dead.

Fine. Let me know when you have a proper lead.

Will that be here long?

No, it'll be gone soon.

- What? - Nothing.

- You OK? - Yes. You?

I thought you'd rat on us what with everything.

No need for everyone to pay.

Can I stay with you for a bit?

- I rowed with my mother. - Sure, no problem.

- Because of the file? - Yes, and the rest.

She can't stand me.

Hello, everyone.

Hello, darling.

- Dad? - Yes?

You know the language trip to London next month?

Yes.

I don't want to go.

- Without Léa, it's pointless. - Léa will be back by then.

You'll be together. Did we write the cheque?

- It can wait. - No, I'll do it now and send it.

Zoé hit one of her classmates in the face.

His nose bled. We had to call the doctor and tell his parents.

Zoé, why did you do that?

I forget, but he really deserved it.

That's no reason to be violent.

I know you're having a hard time.

But Zoé has to calm down.

She's doing herself no favours.

Maybe it's the television.

Does she watch a lot of violent films?

Yes, that's it.

That must be the reason. Come on.

- I'm not happy, Zoé. - It's not my fault.

Hugo said Léa slept with loads of boys,

and that it was no surprise what happened.

Don't believe such nonsense.

I didn't, that's why I punched Hugo.

You punched him?

Yes, like that.

I didn't even hit him hard. He cried like a baby.

Look, darling.

Promise me you won't do it again, OK?

I understand what happened, but you can't hit people.

If you don't like what people say, come to me.

Tell me about it.

- OK? Promise? - Promise.

Never mind.

You're not such a bad mother.

Come on.

- You hooligan. - What's a hooligan?

Someone who likes fighting.

I don't like fighting. I'm not a hooligan.

What's this antique?

- It's a treasure. - It's old.

Was this yours or your doll's?

Remember?

Your first dive.

- Where? - In Corsica.

Yes, my first dive with you.

Julien?

It's been a week.

You say "tomorrow" every day.

I'm sick of your stuff in my office.

I don't know. You sort it out!

Wait here.

Mr Morel's here. He insists on seeing you.

Come in.

I wanted to thank you for Thomas.

- His file's on stand-by. - I know, but thanks anyway.

He should stay out of trouble.

I think he gets that.

Anything else?

- It was in Léa's things. - We searched her room.

It was in an old Barbie case in the garage. I forgot it was there.

- It may be nothing, but still... - How much is there?

Over 3,000.

Maybe that's how she pays for her racing lessons.

Savings?

No. We opened an account for her. 100 euros a month.

But she's always broke.

- We'll hang on to this. - Yes, sure.

Yes.

If she'd run away, she'd have taken the cash.

He said he'd come this week or next, I forget.

I got angry.

- Anyway, if he doesn't come... - Sorry.

Excuse me.

Hello.

Hello. My name's Francis Dupuis. I have information on Léa Morel.

- I'm listening. - I killed her.

That's very serious.

I know, but it's true.

I killed her.

Mr Morel!

Calm down!

Everyone to reception!

Shit!

Mr Morel!

He killed my daughter!

- He said it! - Mr Morel, stop it!

- You OK? - Stop it!

Mr Morel,

in these cases, all kinds of people confess to everything that's on TV.

If it's a real lead, we'll tell you.

I promise you.

For now, let us do our jobs.

No...

No, no...

Yes, I killed her. And lots of others.

- Give me their names. - I don't know their names.

- But you know Léa Morel. - I told you.

Dig up my garden. That's where I buried her.

- Well? - Just animal bones.

Birds, cats everywhere. He's nuts.

- Sir, no! - What do we do?

Keep looking.

Look who's here.

I know, he followed us.

Mr Morel, stop.

We found nothing.

We'll search the house, but Dupuis didn't kill Léa.

He's spent time

in psychiatric hospitals.

You're not telling me to go home?

You decide where you're most needed.

Nicolas, can you get on the scanner and tell me what you hear?

Thanks.

I know, but we have no other leads.

Commander!

We found something.
