On dit "Winnie-the-Pooh" en francais?
So, this is your department now?
(CAMERA CLICKS)
Don't know how anybody could get a kick out of this.
You just worry about more brides.
(WHISPERS) Leave tonight, because they're going to kill you.
No!
Two bullet casings - suggests either a professional execution or...
Two victims. There's only one passport.
(GASPS) MAN: Mayday, mayday, mayday.
We've lost control of our instruments.
It's like somebody else is flying the plane.
You want to see what it's like to be a body in the water?
I'll show you what it's like. Stop it, Karl!
Come back to CID, Karl. It's where you belong.
MAN: (ON RECORDING) What's going on? (ALARM BEEPS)
Put on the mayday. MAN: We're losing speed.
Do something!
Mayday, mayday, mayday!
CDT 7-1-8, we've lost control of our instruments.
It's like somebody else is flying the plane.
No, no, no, this can't be! We're going to reach coffin corner!
We've stopped climbing. Are we going up or are we going down?
We're going down.

LAURA: No, no, it sounds fantastic.
I'll have to talk to my husband.
No, I'm not asking for permission, no!
It's a big commitment. We'll need to talk about it.
Well, I've been doing some work for the anti-fracking campaign
but I do want to get back to my real job soon.
Yeah, well, um... I'll let you know.
OK.
Whatever it is, you do need my permission and the answer's no.
It's a big Georgian restoration near Walmer.
(BABY GURGLES) Wow, you should do it!
We'll make it work.
Yeah... you don't just make things work by saying you will.
You have to, you know, make them work.
Good point, well made.
Karl, please, don't just go all laconic.
I know, I know. I miss my job.
I want to get back to work. I get that.
I've made up my mind about the CID thing.
They've asked me to lead the Eurotunnel investigation.
Gumtree it is, then.
(BABY FUSSES)
I gotta go to work.
TV REPORTER: The question the investigators will have to answer
is this - how does a modern passenger plane
come to just fall out of the sky into the English Channel?
Bonjour!
How's the kid?
Which kid? The Milkybar Kid.
Chloe Fournier's back with her aunt but still not talking.
So, you're heading up this investigation, then?
Yeah, I started back in CID today.
You staying on the Fournier case?
Yes. Olivier still wants me to coordinate with you on this.
What's the news on the plane?
We're not entirely sure for now.
Mechanical failure?
That's one of the options that's... being explored.
MAN: Terrorism has not been ruled out yet
so this is still a potential mass-murder investigation.
All CID will be based up here from now on,
whatever other cases you have on your books.
You'll have to put up with the crash investigation teams
and the French, so it'll be a bit crowded.
But there's no asbestos.
And it's nearer the boozer.
Mm.
OK.
(DEVICE BEEPS) I'm spiking. I need to eat.
Last thing I need is a hypo.
What are they saying about the plane?
Mechanical failure?
But the conspiracists are already at work.
Hacking's been mentioned.
Our greatest act and we do not claim it.
The plane was a job. We got paid.
Now we have the freedom to do this.
We have to shed blood, even if it includes our own.
(SIGHS)
Violence is the only way to make the world pay attention.
I grew up in a shithole estate.
My dad was a trade unionist in a tyre factory.
Now he votes for the far right.
I joined the army,
saw stuff in Mali you can only dream of,
got fucked up on drugs.
And I have to admit...
..I'm also pretty racist.
But you don't have a problem with...
I make an exception for you 'cause you're hot.
(SCOFFS)
You use words like...
..'Zionist' and 'Islamist'.
For me, they're just Yids and goat-fuckers.
And I don't care so much about the rest,
but I'm happy to put a bullet in their hypocritical backs
for all the shit they're causing the world.
But what made you so fucking angry that you're prepared to die?
People who talk too much.
He's too old for you.
And when he has no use for you,
he will probably kill you.
Nothing has led to more bloodshed than religion.
Today, we will be moderate in our response.
Just one of each.
Right. See you later, Mum.
Oi, Aamira. Off to your jihadi wedding in Syria?
(GIRLS LAUGH)
France, actually. Ooh, la, la!
Bring us back some cheap booze from Calais, yeah?
Yeah, do I look like a kafir, you Western slags?
(ALL GASP, LAUGH)
And 'jihad' means 'personal struggle',
not just 'holy war', by the way.
Don't tell me - tell them nutters who brought down that plane.
You don't know that it was Muslims.
Who the hell is it gonna be, the Hare Krishnas?
You don't know that it was anybody! They're just saying it was a crash.
It's always the Muslims.
Don't worry, I know it ain't ALL the Muslims.
Anyway, where's your brother? In bed.
Great, just where I want him.
Don't drop your bag! It might blow up.
See ya later.
Later.
(LAUGHTER)
Wait, I'll tell Sam. Sam!
(CHATTER, LAUGHTER)
(LAUGHS)
WOMAN: What's supposed to happen on these things, then?
MAN: We all hold hands and sing Kumbaya.
(LAUGHTER)
MAN: No, it's OK, you know. I've met some good people...
Maybe just debates and... What did you think?
MAN: Oh, my God! I've seen that priest on telly.
Benjamin, look at that girl!
(LAUGHTER)
(CHATTER CONTINUES)
(ALARM RINGS)
(MOBILE PHONE RINGS)
Louise not with you?
KARL: Yeah? You mean Lieutenant Renard?
Actually, I call her 'zabko'.
It's a common term of endearment in Polish.
It means 'dear little froggy'.
Really?
Lieutenant Renard is now engaged with duties relating to the plane crash.
Well, that's too bad.
Lab tests are back.
The blood found in the underpass belonged to one individual only.
Robert Fournier.
What you got?
A van with a sticker on it.
The fire in the underpass was so intense
they probably expected the heat to melt it and wipe away any traces.
They were right. They were wrong.
The fire seared an after-impression from the plastic of the sticker
into the metal of the van.
Like a Hiroshima shadow.
They've got this kit that can sniff it out -
well, bits of it, anyway - and then digitally rebuild it.
It was a flag with bits of lettering -
Part of an N and a tiny bit of an O.
Norway. No!
The letter fragments were from the middle.
They think the word was 'Kernow',
because of the pattern from the flag.
There is no country called Kernow.
Yeah, I agree. Some wouldn't.
Means Cornwall.
Means we're more likely to get sightings,
which means better chance of CCTV.
Good.
Yes, that is good. So let's coordinate.
We'll put out an appeal for the van tonight.
Hopefully the sticker will jog some memories.
Our hypothesis has to be that he was killed in her abduction.
The results of the blood test suggest that, certainly.
Given her status, there's an obvious interest
in not killing her immediately.
But was she abducted...
..killed somewhere else?
We need to find both bodies.
(PHONE BEEPS)
I'm not optimistic about that.
Well, they've already left us one tiny clue.
We'll go from that.
Gotta go.
That scene at the docks...
..with the photographer.
What about it?
It gave me some concern...
..for your mental state.
(CHUCKLES) Oh, don't worry.
I've always been concerned about yours.
Karl... You not going to finish that?
That's not meat inside it.
The French might stuff pastry
with migrating songbirds they've blasted from the skies,
but this is a good old English sausage roll,
filled with grease and... weird pink stuff.
Bloody delicious too.
Mmm.
WOMAN: Ah, no, no - anglais, anglais, anglais.
Hi. Hi.
I'm Nina. Aamira.
I like what you've done with your...
Ah, hijab. Yeah.
Are they not banned here?
No, that's...
Ah.
Yeah, because you don't think it's, like... medieval?
I mean, the fact it's compulsory.
(CHUCKLES)
It's funny how it's just us that get asked to defend our religious dress.
I mean, if you said anything to him, it'd be anti-Semitic.
Yeah.
But the burqa, it's...
It's not Islamic. And I don't support it.
Sorry, did you come to chat, or...
No, I just came to say hello.
Ah, but you thought you'd start with this.
I mean, I didn't introduce myself
asking why you guys hang torture instruments around your necks.
Yeah.
I'm sorry.
(DOOR CLOSES)
(LAUGHS)
Mm-hm. (CHUCKLES)
(PHONE RINGS)
TV NEWSREADER: Police have made a fresh appeal for information
relating to the possible abduction of the Fournier family
from the Eurotunnel.
They're particularly interested
in a white medium-wheelbase transit van
with a sticker like this on it -
the Cornish flag,
and it may also possibly say "Kernow" on it.
(SCORNFULLY) Kernow. What's the matter?
All these stupid ethno-fictions - like people calling themselves Celts.
What's wrong with 'Celts'?
Mm? Nothing, except it's complete garbage.
There was no mass Celtic migration to Britain before the Romans.
Isn't it up to people what they call themselves?
Oh, yes, I'm sorry. You're right.
In that case, I'm a short-eared owl.
Grumpy old dog, more like.
Think it'll lead to something? Hope so.
Meanwhile, in Kent, Glen Backhouse, the defecting MP,
has launched a stinging attack on the government's new immigration...
There you are. Thanks.
..comparing it to "rearranging the deckchairs on the Titanic".
Oh, how original. Must have hired a writer.
I found a possible nanny.
You decided, then?
Her name's Vladka. She's very nice.
Where's she from? Kernow.
Slovakia.
Aren't you going to say anything?
What do we know about her? I've just told you three things.
Her name's Vladka, she's from Slovakia, she's nice.
I'd prefer a British nanny. Oh, God!
I wouldn't. I don't know why I said that.
I'd prefer... You'd prefer nobody.
What if she runs off one day with the kids to Slovakia?
One of her hobbies is the ukulele.
What does that prove? Hitler loved his fucking dog.
Forget Hitler.
We can't go on like this, Karl.
I had these shooting pains down my left arm today
and I realised my primary feeling was a surge of hope.
(CHUCKLES)
I'm not even joking. What was it really?
I don't know. Remnants of carpal bastard tunnel syndrome, I think.
The point is, I am just so... I get your point.
We'll still meet on the stairs from time to time, right?
I'm going to go to bed.
Can you look at Vladka's CV if you're going to stay up?
(PHONE RINGS) Can she play Ain't She Sweet?
Elise. Karl.
Chloe Fournier - she's speaking again.
Get on a train. Get over here now.
(LAUGHTER, CHATTER)
Julie! Bonjour. Ah, it's you!
Yeah, I think so.
Sorry, I just wasn't... How you been keeping?
Good, thank you. I had a baby.
Did you? Mm-hm.
Congratulations. I had two.
Two? Whoa. Whoa, yeah. Exactly.
Right, well...
You are on the first floor? Oui.
Nice to see you again.
Merci beaucoup. Nice to see you too.
Your French is very better.
(CHUCKLES)
(SOFTLY) Maybe tell her something reassuring.
Tell her she's doing really well.
She isn't.
This makes all the difference.
Did he say "I told you", which is a very important phrase?
Did he sound as if he was begging for mercy, or did he...
I understand, but we need to tread gently.
She's speaking but she's still traumatised.
Alright, let's just take a break, shall we?
Can we get some... some orange squash?
On peut avoir... du squash orange?
Biscuit?
(PHONE RINGS) BB.
KARL: Yeah? Where's that?
I'm in Calais.
Good. Right, yeah, I'll come back straightaway.
Yeah.
Cashier at a service station in Basingstoke
remembers seeing a white van with a Cornwall sticker on the forecourt.
We also have a report of a stolen van in Truro
that looks like it matches the description the cashier gave.
CCTV?
They're looking into it. Should get back there.
Come on, give her a break.
"I told you."
Those three words make a massive difference.
Can you remember what I said to you in that room, exactly?
"Yeah, I understand, but we need to tread gently.
"She's speaking but she's still traumatised."
OK, so you're a freak.
I'm sorry.
But Chloe Fournier was in a very different, very frightening context.
(PHONE RINGS)
BB.
Ah, OK.
Alright, we'll meet you at the hangar.
Bad news first - there's no CCTV
from the service station the van was clocked at.
Slightly better news
is that they used a stolen credit card to buy some food.
BB's onto it. OK.
"Not the kid."
(FIRMLY) "Not the kid." "Not the kid!"
"I told you, not the kid!" I don't think so.
What kind of a parent
would be able to leave their child alone and frightened like that?
He's her step-dad.
Still!
AAMIRA: You're forgetting about the 500 dead kids in Gaza.
MAN: Don't throw Gaza at me. I'm British, not Israeli.
You support them, though.
Do you support the people who desecrate our graves
and murder innocent people in supermarkets?
No, of course not.
I don't support everything Israel does.
But I believe it has a right to self-defence.
(SCOFFS) Self-defence?!
From what, some kids running away on the beach?
I'd have more sympathy for you lot
if you'd burn the flags of evil murderers
instead of democratic countries every time you got offended.
"You lot"?
What's that supposed to mean?
'Cause I don't burn any flags.
Look, Jews in Europe are frightened.
Do you know what they're frightened of?
The same thing everybody's frightened of.
The 'religion of peace', which just keeps killing everybody.
You're all hypocrites.
Muslim lives mean nothing to you.
They never have!
Wow.
Don't just walk away.
(SIGHS)
(PHONE RINGS)
Koba.
Yeah, we lost the girl, but the problem's solved.
OK, I'm going to meet more brides in Calais.
Alright.
An hour, then.
Yeah.
STEFAN: Alright, yeah. Sorry, Stefan Czyrko.
No, you pronounce it 'Cherko'.
'Ch-', as in 'chips'.
Czyrko.
That's no problem.
What's the widow's name?
Yeah.
Yeah, I can be there at 4:00. OK, see you later.
One of the victims on the plane was Polish.
He was an undercover cop investigating an immigration scam.
What sort of scam?
Oh, it's 'weddings for passports' stuff.
I'm going to deal with it later. But get on this, boss.
Whoever abducted the Fourniers dropped the fucking ball
used the stolen credit card again.
We've got a location - here.
Where did they use it?
It's an oil company. They do forecourt sales.
Here. I'm going to scoot over there now.
They'd need accelerant to burn the van.
What, 100 litres?
Good point.
The properties round there have external fuel tanks.
Well, whatever they're using it for,
please, please, PLEASE let 'em have CCTV on the forecourt.
50 quid says they don't.
Do you want to come with me, find out?
Alright. Want to come?
You go. I've got to talk to Olivier.
No CCTV here, either.
That'll cost you.
(PHONE RINGS)
Morning.
I'm... Wait a sec!
(ANSWERS PHONE) Yes?
No. No, we're not doing any forecourt sales today.
Our first delivery will be next Wednesday.
Yeah.
Well, we've all got a baby when the oil runs out, love.
Hold on.
(SHOUTS) Danell!
I don't know what he's done,
but he's all yours.
You still there, love?
Yeah, well, if you want a delivery,
like I said before, if...
Your delivery will be with you this afternoon, madam.
Oh, don't mention it.
At our company, the customer always comes first.
Goodbye. (ENDS CALL)
We're here to discuss a purchase made with a stolen credit card.
She can't be much fun to work for. (DANELL CHUCKLES)
She ain't so bad, really - not like some of the drivers.
And it's a job, so...
Tell us what you remember, Danell.
Yeah, there was two of them but one of them stayed in the van.
It was the bird who filled up the canisters.
Yeah, I remember - she had a problem with the lids.
They've got the plastic frill on them,
so you've got to pull the frill off to fasten them up properly.
So they bought canisters as well?
Yeah, yeah.
Just asked me to help her fasten them up.
Did she seem nervous?
Not really.
Like, she came over to the office to pay.
He pulled out the van, put the canisters in.
You see anything of him?
We need you to come and help us build up a picture of this girl, Danell.
Alright? OK.
Oh, um...
I remember she had this tiny scar right over her eyebrow.
I remember noticing it
'cause I thought it was shaped like a little question mark.
OK, good.
Bam!
You're fucking dead.
(CHUCKLES)
My family came to Britain in the 1970s.
My dada - that's what we call our granddads -
was a garment worker in the East End of London.
On his way to work, groups of skinheads would wait for him.
They called it 'Paki bashing'.
He had his arm broken once.
People we knew were stabbed and some died.
I've never blamed all white people for that.
I've never asked all of you to apologise
or distance yourself from it
or deal with the extremists in your midst.
They don't call us Pakis anymore.
They call us Muslims.
But I know what they mean.
The man who saw my hijab
and put his finger across his throat.
Maybe when he was younger,
he was chasing my dada through the streets of East London
and laughing because he was going Paki-bashing.
People sometimes say that religion causes all wars.
But there is a lot in mine that is so beautiful.
And I don't...
I don't like it when people mock our Prophet,
peace be upon him.
My God is compassionate and merciful.
Only ignorance, hate and poverty causes wars...
..whatever the excuse people want to use.
Thank you.
What are you doing?
What does it look like?
Listen...
..that thing about the hijab.
I can see that was a bit rubbish. I'm sorry.
Very Christian.
There's no need to be such a bitch about it.
Aww, not gonna ride with me now?
Fuck you. Hey! I'm joking.
You shouldn't go.
We don't have enough Muslims here.
(LAUGHS) Stop it.
Nah, this ain't for me, all this touchy-feely bollocks.
We're not all the same. We are all different.
Please, Aamira, don't go.
If we can't get on here... I ain't running away because of you.
Oh, my gosh, is he playing...?
(SIGHS) Later.
♪ Someone's angry, Lord
♪ Kumbaya
♪ Runs home crying, Lord

Alright, alright, please! Just stop, just stop.
Oh, my gosh.
I ain't running away from a pair of posh sissies like you lot.
Kumbaya? Really?
(OMINOUS MUSIC)
Welcome back to the butch zone, Roebuck.
Thank you.
You'll be wanting a nice photo of the family on there.
So, we're building an image of a suspect
from a description at the oil depot.
Luckily, this kid's got a very good memory.
In the meantime, French are wanting a little chat
with the research assistant to Paul Bresson.
Go and play chaperone, would you? Alright.
Make sure they remember
what Her Britannic Majesty requests and requires.
(DOOR OPENS)
OK, so... Eryka.
You're not under arrest.
I'll just hang about to make sure
these guys stick to the high standards of human rights
that we British take so seriously.
What are you reading? Turgenev - On The Eve.
You're reading it in Russian.
I speak most European languages.
Where are you from, originally?
My parents were German but I was born and grew up in South America.
Which country? Chile.
Is this part of the interview?
No, this is just small talk.
So, you don't mind which language we do this in?
In the room, Eryka Klein, Commander Pujol, Commander Wassermann.
DCI Roebuck. Go ahead.
You're the only person with a ticket for the plane who did not board.
Paul lost my passport and ticket.
Have they been found? We're looking into that.
What kind of ticket was it? An e-ticket.
You printed it out? Yes.
Why didn't you check in online?
I guess it must have slipped my mind.
We had a lot of meetings. Mm.
So you gave it to Paul Bresson to look after, with your passport?
As I said.
Where did you do that?
The hotel, the taxi.
I don't remember.
Why?
Sometimes one person carries the travel documents.
Wouldn't you say it would be more normal for the assistant to do that?
If you're suggesting
that I deliberately lost my passport and ticket,
surely it would be easier to do if I were holding them.
Passports are very personal things, aren't they?
The only person I give mine to to carry when we travel is my wife.
We found Paul Bresson's suit bag. It contained condoms.
That suggests to me
that he was expecting to have sex on his overnight stay.
What a grubby little world you live in, Detectives.
Were you lovers?
Did you choose the CityDart flight? It was the best flight.
For what? For our schedule.
Did you become lovers before or after he hired you as his...
I didn't say we became lovers at all.
It's not a crime.
And it does explain the passport a bit better - to my mind, at least.
I don't need to explain the passport better.
And yes, we were.
But that's not why I got the job.
No, of course not.
Sorry, I shouldn't really be asking these questions.
No, no, please.
You're quite composed
for someone who has just lost her colleague and lover.
Would I be more plausible if I was howling and beating my head?
Is that how you measure grief?
Do you think the crash was not an accident and that Paul was murdered?
Because that's what these questions suggest.
It's not a line of investigation, as far as I'm aware.
Nothing is ruled out yet.
But the plane must have been sabotaged in some way,
because there was no bomb.
How could you possibly believe...
(KNOCK AT DOOR) ..I did something like that?
Excuse me.
(CLOSES DOOR)
Get it out on all the news channels.
Hold back the scar for the first appeal.
We'll use it to control-filter. Yes, boss.
AAMIRA: There are loads of different styles of hijab.
But this is how we like to roll on the Isle of Thanet.
Yeah? Yeah.
I like it.
I customised it myself. (MUFFLED BANG)
And diamonds? You put diamonds? Mm-hm.
What's happened to the priest? Oh, my gosh, is he having a heart attack?
(SCREAMING)
He's got a gun! Run!
(SCREAMING)
Please! Please!
Oh, my God!
(WOMEN SOB)
(SCREAMS)

He's upstairs. Let's go.
Let's go! No, no!
He's gonna find us!
No, no! No!

(MOANS)
I don't know how to stop the bleeding!
Use my headscarf!
Sorry! I'm sorry!
Just don't die. (MOANS)
(SHRIEKS)
Please, please...

Go, go, girls! I'm gonna get you!
Hi.
Hello, girlies. Daddy!
Hello, hello. Oh, hi.
Hi. Hi, I'm Vladka.
Hi! Vladka. You have lovely children.
Thank you.
Has Laura shown you the cupboard under the stairs?
No, I don't think she...
Where do you stand on corporal punishment, Vladka?
I'm a firm believer that it's an essential part of child-rearing.
He's joking. (LAUGHS)
Ah, we're a funny guy, huh?
A comedian.
Well, maybe we should...
..put Daddy under the stairs!
Yes!
Let's put Daddy under the stairs! Yeah!
Play little guitar.
Oh, ukulele's made an appearance already.
Yep. And in answer to your question about Ain't She Sweet, she can.
And she is.
Don't scare her off.
