Friends are supposed to trust each other
and you clearly didn't trust me to make the right decisions.
I was worried about you.
You don't have to be worried about me. I'm not a child.
Can I help you?
He doesn't know.
It's my son. He...
Do you understand?
Elise! I found him! I've found Saban. He's alive.
We've got 11 missing person's reports in the last 24 hours,
all from Folkestone.
The last one is a delivery driver.
He was driving a meat truck.

Elise?
Please don't come any closer, Karl.
Stop! Please.
(PHONE RINGS)
Answer it.
Hello?
Lana, is that you?
Can you hear me?
Lana, I have news for you.
I have found Saban.
Lana? Hello?
Are you there?
This is my time to talk, DCI Roebuck.
Ah.
Hello, Anton.
The grumbling grew to a mighty rumbling.
And out of the houses the rats came tumbling.
Can you see it?
Pick it up.
Do whatever they ask.
OK. I have it.
The truck inside the tunnel is filling with hydrogen sulphide.
The people inside really don't have long to live.
Press that button and doors of the meat truck will automatically open
and those innocent people will be free.
But your friend's necklace will detonate.
You have to decide which is worth more.
Her life or the lives of those strangers.
But, Anton... listen to me.
You don't have to do any of this.
Do you hear me?
Anton?
If I were you, I'd hurry up and make your choice.
What did he say?
OK.
Elise, what do we know?
What have you seen? Where are they?
I don't know. I heard them drive away.
Right.
There are 11 people in there.
I think they're been gassed.
Yeah.
We need to get that contraption off you. Is it live, do you think?
I can hear it ticking. I...
I can't see. I don't... don't know how long is left.
(DIALING TONE) OK.
WOMAN OVER PHONE: Where the fuck are you, Roebuck?
I'm at the abandoned tunnel in the cliff at Samphire Hoe.
The coordinates are 51.1040 N, 1.2705 E.
I need to get bomb disposal squad here immediately.
Elise Wasserman is wearing a locked collar bomb.
Also, the meat truck is here.
There are 11 people inside.
They are being slowly poisoned with hydrogen sulphide gas.
They will die unless I detonate the bomb.
I'm supposed to choose.
Mobilise bomb disposal.
Hello?
Yeah, I'm still here. We're bringing them now.
Bomb squad will move in behind you, but until they get there,
you can't intervene.
How long will they be?
Hello? How long will they take?
We'll get there as quick as we can.
He calls again... keep him talking.
Yeah. Right. OK.
He doesn't seem to be in much of a mood for chatting
but I'll tell him a couple of jokes, see if that warms him up a bit.
Thank you. Bye.
Well, what do you think? You've been in touch with Anton.
More of a... what?
Anecdote sort of fellow or a...
..or a knock-knock man?
It's OK. You can...
..you can skip the section on establishing a rapport.
You already have my trust.
Do I? I thought I'd lost it.
I thought we could express our anger with each other without...
damaging our friendship.
You're so hard to help.
I'm sorry, I... I, eh...
Sorry if I did it wrong.
(PHONE RINGS)
Hello? Anton?
Time is ticking, detective.
Are you going to press that button and save those poor innocent people?
Anton! You have to listen to me.
I was wrong - Saban is not dead.
I was deceived.
Please tell Lana.
I can bring Saban here.
Hydrogen sulphide...
..smells like rotten eggs at first...
(GASPING)
then you start to lose your sense of smell.
You think the gas is gone.
Just when you think you'll be OK...
..asphyxiation starts.
Listen to me!
This, it's over.
I've found Saban.
Isn't that what this was all about?
Please!
Please! Let me speak to Lana.
Lana isn't interested in what you've got to say.
You speak to me and only me.
Do you know what's it like to live your whole life without love?
She made me feel again but you got between us.
Well, I'm sorry about that. Truly I'm sorry.
Tell me how... I can fix this.
What... what is it that you want, Anton?
I can't have what I want.
It's too late.
So what I want now is for you to make your choice...
..a truck full of strangers...
..or your friend.
You have maybe five minutes left...
..then they suffocate.
What's going on?
The truck's filling with poisonous gas.
They want me to choose.
What gas?
Hydrogen sulphide.
(GASPING AND WHEEZING)
You've got to do it, Karl.
You can't make me responsible for all those deaths!
It has to be about numbers.
I can't...
If you press it, it's just me.
It's just one life...
..and you can save them.
Karl, you need to do it.
There's no choice.
Fucking help me!
You need to press that button.
I can't...
Don't carry this with you.
It's my choice...
it's not theirs. No!
It's not yours.
Get justice for Charlie Moreau.
Elise! And thank you for being my friend.
No!
(GROANS)
Elise?
(DISTANT SIRENS APPROACH)
Excuse me?
I've lost my friend.
Hello? I've lost Elise.
You need to come with me.
(SOMBRE MUSIC PLAYS)
(INDISTINCT CONVERSATION)
(GASPS)
MAN OVER RADIO: Suspects sighted in a stolen vehicle.
I repeat, suspects sighted in a stolen vehicle.
It looks like they're heading under the A20 bridge on Averscliffe Road.
Aerial unit in pursuit. Ground units hold back.
Please.
Suspects may still be in possession of explosives.
Police! Police!
I just need to get something from the car.
No, sir, I need you to come with me now, please.
Stop!
Karl! You shouldn't be driving in this state.
Come on!
Boss, they're heading towards the cliffs.
DCI Roebuck's in pursuit.
I think they're planning a Thelma & Louise.
Shit.
(PHONE RINGS)
Fuck!
Are you ready?
I'm ready.
(GROANS)
(ANTON MUMBLES INCOHERENTLY)
Don't come any closer or I'll shoot you!
You killed Elise.
I offered you your son... and you killed Elise.
My son is dead. No, he's not.
I told him to put you on the phone.
Saban is alive. You're lying.
All you do is lie. I've seen him.
Do you want to see a photo of him?
No! I don't want to see him. Shoot him!
He was adopted by a French couple.
There.
That's your son.
He's lying.
That's your son.
His name is Francois.
He's happy! He's getting married.
I trusted you.
No!
Jesus fucking Christ.
Put the gun down. Tell Saban I loved him...
everyday of my life.
How dare you?
I'd do anything to have one day...
one minute with my son, just to see his face.
Just to see his face.
Just to tell him I loved him. You can have that minute.
You can have it! You can hold him in your arms.
(DISTANT SIRENS APPROACH)
Armed police! Stay where you are. Stay where you are, don't move.
(UNHEARD CONVERSATION)
(HE SOBS)
Hello.
(DOOR BUZZES)
Evelyn Shapoawn.
Terrel Keeley.
Lawrence Taylor.
Father Francis Payne.
Shirley Ceres.
Anton Stokes.
Look at them.
When can I see my son?
Look at them.
I was singing Saban to sleep, when the soldiers came.
Afterwards...
there were piles of bodies, like rag dolls,
who weren't people to them, who were animals to be slaughtered.
When you have survived such things...
..killing is nothing.
I'll leave the photos with you.
You'll have some time on your hands.
Where's my boy?
Now...
..you gave me a choice...
..between killing my friend, who I loved,
and killing 11 random, innocent people that you abducted.
I couldn't make that choice. Now I have another one.
Do we let Saban get married,
get on with his life, like anybody else?
Or do we tell him who his mother is?
And what she's done... in his name?
I'll leave you with that.
Karl?
I'm glad it was you with her.
So...
..let's honour her last request.
What have you got?
The day... the day Charlie was taken,
there was a rumour the Hotel L'Ecrin was occupied by this man...
Laurent Morel.
He's a convicted sex offender and part of a larger paedophile ring.
And we're pretty sure,
from Charlie's statement and his memory from Baie de Somme,
that Laurent Morel was the one who took him.
Astor Chaput was in charge of sourcing witnesses
but there was not a single one from the Hotel L'Ecrin.
I just found Laurent Morel's last-known address.
Let's go.
Elise saw right through you, didn't she?
Are you protecting someone?
You need to ask yourself if they're worth throwing everything away for?
Oui?
To Laurent?
If Charlie was kept here, any evidence would be gone.
What do you think I should do about Saban?
You want to tell him the truth?
Isn't it every child's right to know?
Not in France.
Once a child is adopted, it's the parent's choice to tell or not.
The State doesn't interfere with parenting.
Another great gulf between our nations.
(CHUCKLES)
What would Elise do?
Tell the truth.
She wasn't always right.
Bonjour.
Bonjour, monsieur.
He's yours.
Could you do something for me?
(DOOR BUZZS OPEN)
Security approved these, but I wanted to give them to you myself.
I'll take Maya back home. Give you some space.
Don't think I need space.
What can I do?
Don't know.
I miss you.
I miss all of you.
What are we going to do about that?
I don't know.
Life is too short not to grab what makes you happy while you can.
How come?!
Duolingo.
How do you say 'no chance'?

Hello.

Hi!
Hiya.
Hey! How you doing?
Alright and you? Very good.
Hey!

GIRL: Daddy!
Billie?
Maya? Hannah?
Help! Come and find me!
Help!
I'm lost. Maya?
