I don't know, but I

don't think they're local.

At least not up the chain.

Maybe Eastern Europe, but I'll find out.

If this happened here,

it is our job to find out.

Please, come with us now to the station,

we can get all this information

in a proper way.

I'm sorry, but I'm not going anywhere

except after my baby.

You do what you can do,

and I'll do what I do,

but please just help me find her.

Lady, there is a dead man on our street.

Many witnesses saw you attack him.

You cannot do this and just walk away.

You come with us now,

you fill in all the forms,

give us descriptions, everything.

If your daughter is missing,

we find her.

No, I'm not filling in

any f***ing forms!

I'm not going to sit somewhere

and watch our only chances

disappear in paperwork!

You either work with me

on this right now,

or you move against me!

Lady, you cannot make this threat.

She is a blonde-haired, blue-eyed baby.

Get her description

out into the media now

before there is time for them

to make it across any borders.

We will once you and we are in a

safe place, and get all the facts right.

No, wait, wait.

Wait, wait, wait, wait.

The guy who was

my daughter has a tattoo.

Like this.

It's not a picture, it's not art.

It's like a symbol. Like a...

Like a gang, maybe.

You need to get this image and

description out into the media now.

We need more than this.

Please, come with us now. We can

take all this information properly.

- Follicles. Oh, God.

- What?

The kidnapper's DNA will be

on these hair follicles.

Here.

What's this?

It's, uh, medicine.

No. No, no, no.

It's got nothing to do

with what happened here.

I'm off those now.

No. They're gonna want her alive,

but she's gonna be crying

for food, for her mother.

Oh!

They can conceal her, yes, but not

so much that she can't breathe.

Oh, God.

So, she can be heard.

Please, if somebody is close

enough, she can be heard!

Calm down, Miss!

You need to come with us now.

Do not make any more trouble!

"Trouble"?

You could help me.

You could choose to help me.

Stop me, or stand in my way,

and things will end badly for her,

and for you.

This is a threat on me?

I'm just giving you fair warning.

It cannot be!

Hassan! Hassan! Hassan!

Hassan! Hassan! Hassan!

Hey. You thief.

You thief, come to police.

No. No, no, no.

No, I had no choice.

No... I will pay you...

You lie, you lie!

You come with me!

No, no!

Please, please! Don't...

Come on!

Sh*t.

Lisa! Lisa!

She's gone! Our baby, she's gone!

Hey!

Do you have any water?

To drink?

- To drink, please.

- Drink?

Yeah, please.

Thanks.

Thank you.

You bring this sh*t into my place.

This could give everything away.

Starting with you.

It was off.

I heard the battery go.

Where? How far exactly?

Many miles from here.

Before the village?

You sure?

I brought it to show you,

to be honest with you.

This is a risk.

And Paul, they have

his face, everything.

One little woman gives you such trouble.

She... She was not normal.

You know what?

If I feel too much risk,

I will take that canister,

pour gas over this place,

with you and every little thing in here!

We have a good, clean buyer,

ready to exchange

when the things are calm.

Now, get away from my face,

and find someone

to make that thing quiet

before I improvise.

I need my key! Fourteen!

What happened?

Let me call someone!

No! Don't call anyone!

- Please don't hurt me.

- No, listen.

My daughter, my baby,

you remember, yeah?

You checked us in.

You remember her, yes?

You saw her, didn't you?

I saw the pram, the buggy.

I... I didn't look.

Look at me!

There was a lady here

when I checked in.

She saw Sophie!

She touched her hand!

I don't know. I don't know!

F***! Sorry.

Please, just...

Just stay here.

Four rounds.

Right.

Yeah, just make sure that

we get those people.

I gotta get this.

Hi.

Clarke? It's me.

Hey. Are you okay?

No. No, I'm not okay.

Sophie's been kidnapped!

What? When?

This morning. Listen, I need...

Why didn't you call me sooner?

I was at the beach, she was grabbed.

They drove off with her.

I've been doing everything I can.

What, you saw them?

I didn't see exactly.

She was just gone.

Someone distracted me.

Weren't you watching her?

Well, I'm going to get her back,

but something's going on.

My room here,

everything of Sophie's is gone.

It's like...

Like she was never here!

Someone's taken all of her things!

Are you with the police?

Let me speak to whoever's in charge.

No, no, I'm not.

Please, just listen to me...

Then what the hell are you doing?

I need Jeanette's number.

Jeanette from the Agency?

- She was trying to trace...

- You spoke to her?

You told her about Sophie?

No, no, no.

Well, what the hell's

she got to do with this?

No, please, just...

Just give me the number!

Okay, hang on.

Two...

Got it. She might be able to

trace the direction she headed,

but we have to act fast

before they have time

to make it across some border.

What assets do you have in this region?

Lisa, I don't have

any resources down there.

I can put pressure on the police.

They're looking for me, Clarke!

The situation is complicated.

Complicated?

A child is missing.

They should drop

everything they're doing

to get her back.

I took down a couple of men.

The ones who took Sophie?

They were involved, I know they were,

but nobody saw the...

There's no proof of anything.

That's why the police are after me.

Are you armed?

I have a standard police issue Walther.

But only four rounds.

Jesus Christ, Lisa.

Turn yourself in.

I'll talk to their ambassador.

No! By the time they're done talking,

Sophie could be anywhere!

You must know someone

in a neighboring country!

This is your child, Clarke!

No, we have to do this diplomatically.

F*** your diplomacy!

I need the authorities to know

I was here with a child!

You have to tell them the truth!

Whose child exactly?

- Ours.

- No.

No. I can't do that.

That would be political suicide.

What about Sophie?

Lisa, not long ago,

you didn't even want this child!

How dare you!

I'm sorry.

Just tell me what you need me to do.

Find out if Intelligence

knows anything about

who's trading in child trafficking

in this region.

I wanna know everything they know.

Past, present, trends, whatever.

- I have to move.

- All right.

I'll call you again.

They are a common form

of antidepressant.

Not unusual for a mother

who is postnatally depressed.

Given the date and the quantity left,

she was still taking them

until yesterday.

So, what happens if someone is

on these and they simply just stop?

Agitation, heightened stress, angry.

Great. Find out who this angry woman is.

Also, find out if she came into

this country with a child,

or just a packet of tablets.

Mmm.

Sir, the airline just confirmed,

she didn't travel with a child.

Why would she be so agitated

if it wasn't true?

You saw how she was.

Was she agitated, or just insane?
