I still can't believe Dad

Bloody hell, Midget, you

-Did it hurt?

Can I have one?

Just go away.

Mum and Dad are gonna go mental

-Please, help me.

Can you tell me

Is there someone

Sophie... Giroux.

Sophie Giroux? Who's that?

Your mother? Your sister?

Who is Sophie Giroux?

We will try and find her.

Would anybody like to hazard

"None are more hopelessly

than those who falsely believe

Von Goethe's most famous work

which is about a man who sells

in search of power.

Turn your books to chapter

What's the matter?

I'll finish your lesson, Gemma.

Mrs. Webster,

I'm with the military police,

My name is Jorn Lenhart,

I'm sorry, I'm not really sure

-Well, is it Sam? Is he okay?

into Eckhausen

She was taken

where she was operated

-She's stable.

She says her name

What did you say?

-Well, you tried, my love.

So fail again, fail better...

I will get the rest of the wood.

Well, it's been almost a year

Sitting round here.

They performed surgery

Another few hours without

She had a ruptured appendix.

The surgery has left her tired.

She's still recovering

Dad?

Look at you.

My little girl.

It's so bright in here.

Alice, love.

Mum.

11 years, we've waited.

I can't believe it.

You haven't changed, Mum.

Neither of you.

I remember when you did that.

We were so angry, weren't we?

And then the next week,

And I kept thinking,

to argue over something

-I don't know what to say.

You're here now and that's

Hey, Alice.

Is that you, Midget?

Not any more.

I'd like to be on my own now.

This is... It's too much.

Okay. You don't have to talk

We'll be right outside, okay?

We'll be just outside that door

What's happened to her, Sam?

Where the hell has she been?

-Hello, yes?

-Yes, it is.

I'm with the military police,

stationed at the garrison

Do you know the name,

The British girl?

Yesterday, she came back.

She walked right into the middle

There's a name she mentioned

who they could call. She said

Excuse me?

Sophie Giroux?

I know this all happened

you were the lead detective

We don't know how long

until she's well enough to talk,

so I was hoping,

maybe you want to look through

and see if there was a link

Do you think the same person

We think it's likely, yes.

Which would mean there is

Look, I am retired now,

I will... Let me look at my

Thanks for your time,

And how is she, the girl?

Alive.

-I think this is for me.

No, it's Baptiste,

Bagir.

The car is this way,

-How far to Kirkuk?

You must know,

I'm no tourist.

Sam?

Sam, it's nearly nine.

Yeah.

-You can't be late.

Matthew's gonna go

I thought maybe we could all go.

I'll try.

Don't strain yourself.

You should talk to him.

For all the good it will do.

-And how are you sleeping?

I don't know

You're not expected

I am, though, aren't I?

Why else would you be

You want me to talk about Alice

Not unless you want to.

I shouldn't have done

But all this modified assessment

You know, three days a week

I need to be back

That's not going to happen, Sam,

until I've cleared you.

I don't wanna talk about her.

Why not?

Monsieur Baptiste.

It's okay. Mr. Anderssen?

-Stefan's fine.

Thank you for meeting me.

I'm not the one who travelled

-Monsieur Baptiste...

Julien, I'm not quite sure

You didn't give much away

Can we go inside?

I'm looking for someone.

What's this about?

Two girls kept prisoner

for more than ten years.

Sophie Giroux and Alice Webster.

I must find this man.

So, what's this got to do

I need to find someone to drive

Crossing the border into Iraq

Says the man

-You have done your research.

I admire your writing,

-Julien, please understand--

Look, I choose what risks

I do not take them lightly, but

You're married, right?

Yes.

What do I tell them

How do I explain

with no experience of the

into the Iraqi desert, right

whose sole ambition in this life

You could tell them

To do nothing

I could go home.

The people

they could all decide to go home

and forget their troubles

They continue to walk towards

whilst the world burns down

So... to do nothing, to do

It's no choice at all.

I'm sorry. Contrary to what

risks are the last thing

I really am sorry.

I'm going to Azwai.

Thank you for your time.

Aram Askari. I won't take you

but Askari is a fixer

He runs a place

They have an office

You can't miss it.

My guys are out of the country.

Aram Askari.

Thank you.

-Hello?

Celia?

Are you calling to say

and you're getting back

Are you?

I must see this through. I must

Then we don't have anything

Celia, please.

-Aram Askari?

I'm Yardil.

Well, I was told

He's my brother.

Perhaps I can help.

I wish to travel to Azwai.

It is not safe.

But it can be done.

$5,000.

- $5,000?

I have only dinars.

The border guards will only look

There is a bank

If you turn right,

-When do we leave?

We can leave this afternoon.

-Are you going to share that?

When's he coming?

Drug dealers do not keep

Jesus.

Where do you think you're going?

Where you going?

Come on! Where you going?

Come on! Open the door!

Bitch!

Hey, Matthew, it's just Mum.

We... We're gonna go and see

And I know you usually

Well, I thought it might be nice

Let me know what you think.

After the van stopped,

...and he put

It was a...

...a dark, plastic bag.

I couldn't see.

Every time I screamed, I sucked

He put me over his shoulder

I felt him tie my hands

He told me...

"If you do what I say, I'll take

And this was the man

And he spoke in English?

Did he have an accent?

Yes, he's German.

Did you ever see his face?

Can you describe him?

I said, "Please take me home."

He told me to stop crying,

So he hit me.

Love, you can stop this

He hit me twice. And then

and that was the first time

He hugged me after.

Just put both of his arms

And he stroked my hair.

He told me

Alice, when the paramedics

you mentioned Sophie Giroux.

-You were asking for her.

Do you have any idea

She was so weak.

He hadn't fed her in ages.

I promised

Sophie.

I'm looking for Alice Webster.

I have no patient in that name.

I think I've made a mistake.

Sorry to intrude.

She's a clinical psychologist

The doctors contacted me

when they heard

I'll be providing

your daughter will need.

I'll speak with her every day.

It will take time,

But... there is something

The doctors performing

they found stretch marks.

And there are

that your daughter

No.

No, no. No.

We'll head back to camp

We need to organise a thorough

All right, let's go.

Excuse me.

Bonjour.

-Who's asking?

How far along are you?

-Eight.

What are you doing here?

The receptionist

And since I see no journalists,

I must presume the girl's return

The last thing that girl needs

Of course. But there is only

into this hospital

Look, I wish nothing

I asked you to look

not come out to Germany.

I'm only asking

She's too unwell to have

But she has spoken, no?

She did confirm she was held

Sophie?

-Where were they kept?

All Alice remembers

She walked hours

Where, exactly, she's not sure.

Was there a yellow van mentioned

That was the only clue

Baptiste,

Look, I don't want to interfere

but I made the parents

There is no one who knows

You looked me up, Sergeant.

You know who I am

-Let me help.

but it's not necessary.

4,700, 4,800,

4,900, 5,000.

-Thank you.

Are we going, then?

Oh, well, great, you're coming.

-Dad isn't back yet.

Well, I just thought

Do you want to go see Alice?

Well...

-I can't keep coming round.

-Let's get a hotel next time.

You know, it'd just be easier,

-You should go.

-So, you have the money?

But first, I want you

Pick up the phone and call your

he runs an honest business here.

You should apologise

his good name

What are you talking about?

You send me to the bank to

and moments later,

You think all of us as thieves?

I'm simply saying

Take your money. Take your damn

If you were followed, it wasn't

So whatever you're mixed up in,

Go! Go!

Aren't you coming down?

No. Sorry.

Do you see

He's still not forgiven me.

Well, he hasn't

Come on, Sam.

I'm sorry.

-Hey.

I said I'd call when I arrived.

Do you really think you're gonna

-I wouldn't have come if not.

Look, I wanna believe you,

Are you still doing what

Yeah, when I can.

If my family knew

they'd think I'd lost my mind.

But, yeah, I am.

You have not lost your mind,

Do you ever felt

...slipping away from you?

All the time.

We feel that way only because

I haven't forgotten, Alice.

I haven't forgotten

Monsieur Baptiste.

How did it go?

I was followed

Someone hoping to steal from me.

I thought, perhaps, I was set

I usually like to try and think

People continue

I'll do it.

I'll take you to Azwai.

What changed your mind?

I thought about what you said,

I'm here to file stories, and

Well, you have a habit

If I didn't follow you,

Well, then. That's why I like

Good. Give me a couple of weeks

It has to be sooner.

-How soon?

No, no, no. I need to... I need

find out where the troops are,

I may not have weeks.

I have a brain tumour.

You are looking at a...

I'm sorry.

You have nothing to be sorry

Can you take me tomorrow?

Okay, let me make some calls.

First, though, who exactly

A former soldier. Daniel Reed.

Henry Reed was a soldier, yes.

But a father first.

He leaves behind his son,

who followed him

We'll never know

but we can remember

We need to get her some clothes.

She's coming home with us

Tonight? Well, that's...

There's no rush, love. I mean...

We can stay here,

What I need is to come home.

I've spoken to the doctors,

It's just an appendix operation,

Sam, she needs help. Other help

Shrinks will come

You know,

She's given the police

She needs to be somewhere safe.

It's time she came home.

The photofit is being sent to

It will be with every newspaper

And we're not issuing Alice

What do you take us for,

If we are gonna keep

withheld as long as possible,

we need a consistent strategy.

Your department deals

community relations,

Alice Webster's identity

that's inevitable.

We can spare her and her family

the intrusion

if we work together.

I have over 5,000 men and women

Thank you, Brigadier.

The matter is in hand.

You were here, weren't you,

-A detective on the case.

Then you saw how it shook

And I watched as Army

time and again

Let us not forget

Sophie Giroux

And you and I, now,

we're in a position

You're right, Brigadier.

With your help, we can begin

Okay, then.

You think he means it?

He can be a stubborn bastard,

but he's got his head

He knows how important

You should really be

not stuck in the middle

-I'm fine, Dad.

But your sister would've killed

Have you told her?

-I will.

I will.

It's my job to worry about you,

not the other way around.

Sophie! Sophie!

I'll... put the kettle on.

I understand you don't want...

The doctor said...

Well, they said that there were

I don't know

-Do you want something to eat?

Yeah, of course.

We kept all your things.

Every Christmas,

...to wherever you were...

...letting you know

Well, they're here,

Is it okay if I...

...if I give you a hug?

Of course you can.

Night, love.

Mum...

Yeah?

Night.

Night night.

When Alice Webster returned,

finally, she is free.

I never understood that saying.

People think birds

flying around,

and yet, they build their nests

to protect themselves

Nobody is free in this world.

That girl who came back...

...after all those years

She wasn't free

She was still a prisoner.

But most importantly,

...that girl...
