It's you. It's really you.
I knew you were alive,
I just knew it.
I promised myself
I'd see you again.
Where have you been, Lil?
Mum, we need
to get her to a hospital.
No, no one can know
I'm here, please.
You can't tell anyone.
Please, please.

She's fragile,
so you be gentle.
-And close the door, please.
-Yes, okay.
Who are they?
Lily, they just want
to talk to you.
-I promise
-Mum, what have you done?
I promise, it's the police,
they just want to talk to you.
Thanks, Eve.
Lily, I'm Detective Sergeant
Tommy Shah.
This here is my colleague,
DC Rachel Brenton.
If it's all right with you,
we'd just like to sit down
and ask you a few questions,
will that be okay?
Lily, we just want to make sure
that you're okay.
Yeah.
We just want to know
a little bit
-about where you've been living.
-No.
Your mum informed us that a
gentleman dropped you off here.
-Do you know where from?
-No, I can't.
I can't. I can't.
I can't tell you.
There's going to be
consequences.
-I can't. Oh, God.
-It's okay.
It's okay, Lil. Calm down.
What sort of consequences, Lily?
He always said, he always
said that, from the very start,
that if I tried to leave
he'd come for you.
Who, me?
It's okay.
Zoe?
Oh, you're home early.
Go get some lunch.
There's no need for lunch.
I've got a big surprise for you.
But we need to get packing.
The flight leaves
in a few hours.
Flight? Well, we're busy.
We've got plans.
-What about dinner? We're
-Trust me.
Everything's sorted.
I promise.
Now, let's get a move on, yeah?
But, Rick
Where are we going?
Right, here. Come on.
Let's tidy up.
Go with Daddy.
This person that threatened you
and your family,
they, uh, stopped you
from coming home, did they?
And I'm guessing
you managed to escape?
And this same person
that held you captive,
they weren't there
when you left.
Oh. Okay.
Lily.
Lily, can you look at me?
We're not safe
while he's still out there.
You said he threatened
to kill me.
We need to tell them his name.
So they can protect us.
Okay, I promise.
I promise it's going to be okay.
Who kept you from us?
I
It was Rick.
Mr. Hansen.
Oh, my God.
Rick fucking Hansen.
Bastard.
Didn't he lead
on one of the searches?
Yeah, he did.
Right.
We need to get a unit here.
We'll tell 'em to hang back
until they've been
instructed, yeah?
Take some units
to the Hansen house,
and send some to the school.
Seize all electronics,
and his car.
Okay. We need to get
Lily examined as well.
I'll speak to Eve.
-Let's make sure she's okay.
-Sure.
Okay.
And, Rachel?
I want a full forensics
on his finances.
Down to the last penny.
On it.
Police! Open up!
Breach!
Checking upstairs.
To the right.
Okay.
Bedroom one, clear.
Garage clear.
Bedroom two, clear.
Downstairs clear.
If you could
just sit up for me,
I'm gonna check your back, okay?
Okay.
And, breathe in for me.
And, breathe out.
Big breath in.
And, out.
If at any point you need
to stop, just let me know, okay?
It'll just be a second.
Okay, breathe.
One more.
Okay, good. All done.
Okay, all done.
Okay, then.
Okay, that's all done.
Thank you, Lily.
Mm-hmm.
Um, is it okay if I ask
a few questions?
Okay.
Um, from your pelvic exam,
I noticed the kinds of changes
that would suggest
that you've given birth.
And there are also stretch marks
on your abdomen.
So I need to know, Lily,
have you ever been pregnant?
And I know this
can be very difficult,
but if there's any information
that you could give me
about, um, when it happened
Sorry.
Sorry, I can't.
It's okay, Lily.
He was a boy.
Was?
Uh, he died at the birth.
I know this can be
very, very difficult.
I'm so sorry about that.
Um, I'm going to arrange for you
to see a clinical psychologist
for when you feel up
to it, okay?
It's okay.
Thank you.
It's okay. It's okay.
I'm sorry.
I couldn't listen. I
I confided in him.
And all that time he was
We need to be strong
for her, Mum.
Okay? It's not about us.
Do not tell me that Wes
is coming here,
because that is the last
thing she needs.
I'm well aware
of what Lily needs.
Oh, at last.
Hey.
I'm going out of my mind
here, Abs.
Sorry, I've been
with the police all day.
It was Mr. Hansen who took her.
What? Wha
The English teacher?
Look, I've got to go. I'm sorry.
Can I see her?
Uh
Abs?
I don't know, I could come
and pick you up or
-No, I'll call you, yeah?
-When are you coming home?
Was there anyone else
with you at all, besides Hansen?
Did you see any signs of others,
or his wife, Zoe?
No.
No, I only ever saw him.
Okay.
The, uh
difficulty of this conversation
isn't lost on us, Lily.
You're doing great, all right?
We just want to go over
your escape one more time.
You were picked up on the A4191,
just west of Ridgeway Forest.
Do you remember, roughly,
how long it took you
to get from the cottage
to the road?
No, I never looked back.
Uh
There was a fence, and
and then
there was just forest.
It felt like it went on forever.
We're almost done, we
just need to know where to look.
Can you think
of any landmarks or
trails?
Water?
Yeah.
Yeah, I I came out on a
it looked like a beach
with a lake in front.
There were mountains behind.
It was beautiful.
I went back into the forest.
And then I heard cars.
So I ran out into the main road.
And then that
that kind old man,
he stopped, and
and he brought me home.
I think what you've
done is incredibly brave, Lily.
Yeah.
This has all been
really, really helpful, Lily.
Have you caught him yet?
No.
But we will.
Well, we've, uh, we've arranged
a car to take you all home.
All right?
-Eve, can I have a word?
-Yeah.
We've, uh
We've circulated a photo
of Hansen to the media, so
his face will be everywhere.
He won't get very far.
-Look, you've had
-Do you know he used to call me?
He said he was just
checking in, and
I thought he was just
being kind, but he was, um
he was with Lily.
He was calling me, and
hurting her, and I'm her mum,
-and I didn't know.
-But you weren't to know.
All right?
You were supposed to find her.
And you didn't.
How? How did you miss it?
I know.
-Mum?
-I'm sorry.
Car's ready.
Let me come with you.
What is it?
-Change of plan.
-What?
Why?
It'll all blow over soon enough.
What? What will?
Remember that student?
The, uh
the one-night stand.
She couldn't take the rejection.
Started spreading rumors, and
recently it's got out of hand.
How out of hand?
She's made some
baseless accusations,
and if the police believe her
The police are involved?
It's all lies, Zoe.
The girl's a fantasist,
wants revenge.
I just need to lie low for a bit
until it all dies down.
That's the God's honest truth.
You know best.
Lily! Lily! Lily!
Lily! How are you
Lily!
Lily! Lily!
Lily!
How are you feeling?
Get the fuck away from her.

Lily! Lily!
Lily, Lily, Lily!
-No! No!
-Lily, Lily, it's okay.
-No!
-It's okay, it's okay!
You're home, you're safe.
No, they'll find him,
they'll find him.
Hey, boss.
So the drone's heat sensors
have picked up a mass
in the west of the forest.
We're heading over there now.
All right, Rachel.
Just keep me informed, okay?
-Will do.
-Bye. Thanks.
I love the syrup.
Can I have some of that?
Not just the syrup.
Some of the fruit, all right?
All right then.
Hey. No phones at the table.
Come on.
Seeing as I made that
rule, I should stick to it.
Let's get the bill, yeah?
Bill? She's not finished.
I've got to go to the bathroom.
Be back in a moment.
Stop! Police!
Hands in the air!
Keep your hands above your head.
I've got
my family out there, man!
Hey! Come on, lads. What?
You okay?
I'm fine, I'm fine. I was just
I was just dreaming.
Scooch over, then.
This bed's not big enough.
I should
No, no, no. Stay.
We used to do this all the time.
It feels strange
you don't live here anymore.
Yeah.
Mum used to get so annoyed
at us for talking.
Yeah.
I'd climb in next to you
so we could whisper
and she wouldn't hear us.
Yeah, and then you'd forget
to go back to your own bed.
And we'd fall asleep.
And she'd find us
in the morning, and
It's all over the news.
Isn't that great, Lil?
I I'm gonna go tell Mum.
Mum? Mum.
Mum.
Look, whatever she said,
it's all a pack of lies.
Okay. Well, that's what
we're here to clear up.
All right?
Why do you think she's
accusing you of kidnapping her?
I don't know.
Maybe it's because
she was infatuated with me.
-She's a good-looking girl.
-Huh?
-What's that gotta do with
-It's easy to have an affair.
I made a mistake.
Once. That's all.
Come on.
You know what it's like.
She hounded me for months.
Can't say I do.
Really?
Didn't your wife
find out about Eve Riser?
Is that why she left?
Does your wife know?
You had an affair
with an underage girl?
I told you, it wasn't an affair.
We slept together once
years ago.
She was of age.
I was far from her first,
put it that way.
It was long before
she went missing.
Where'd you keep her, Rick?
Keep her?
Yeah.
Well, I've seen
what you did to her.
Kept her locked up in
a basement for five years.
Yeah?
Prove it.
Interview terminated, 12:20.
Rachel.
Tell me it's good news.
We found the cottage,
but he got to it before we did.
-Check your email.
-Okay.
Today we're covering
these areas here,
and then later, we're getting
a team to search over there.
Maybe you should
concentrate here.
Have you covered that?
Not that I know of, no.
Another well-wisher sent these.
-Here you go.
-Thanks.
-Morning, Lils.
-How are you?
Um, can I get something
to drink, please?
Oh, darling, you don't
have to ask. Are you hungry?
I'm fine.
Did you ever hear from Wes?
These look lovely,
don't they, Lils?
Like, does he does he
still live here in the village?
Thanks.
Yeah. Yeah. He's a
he's a mechanic these days.
He was obsessed with cars.
Yeah. He was never
very ambitious, was he?
What do you want
to do today, Lils?
Do you wanna go
to the park, or
Does he still look the same?
Is he still handsome?
Ow, shit.
Mum, have you got a plaster?
-What have you done?
-Just cut myself.
Okay. Okay.
Tell me I'm getting out of here.
Could you explain this, please?
We found it in your home.
I'm glad that's been found.
This proves exactly what I said.
She followed me everywhere.
She was always
taking photos like this.
-Looks pretty recent to me.
-No.
This was before she disappeared.
Maybe some school play
or something.
Proves nothing.
Where'd you bury the baby, Rick?
What baby?
Come on. I'm giving you a chance
to do the decent thing here.
Where is he?
Hold on a second.
She gets knocked up
and is trying to find someone
to scapegoat.
Is that it?
So you're pinning this on me?
I'm speaking to the CPS
to seek authorization
for charges of kidnapping,
rape and forced imprisonment.
On what grounds?
You can't do this.
I didn't do anything!
Rick, say nothing more.
Nothing.
Rick.
John, do something!
Get your hands off me.
I've got it.
I've got it.
Hi.
It's good to see you.
Yeah. Yeah yeah, you too.
Um.
Come on through.
Do you want something
to drink or?
-Yeah, yeah, go on.
-Yeah, okay.
I tried to call you
and told you.
Wasn't expecting to see you,
Wes.
Uh, yeah, Lily rang and um
I always knew
your number off by heart.
We're just about to eat, Lils.
Oh, we can stay for lunch.
Sure, yeah.
Plenty to go around.
Okay. Well, come on.
You can sit next to me,
like old times.
When's the last time
you saw Mum?
Uh, it's been a while.
She'll be excited to see you.
Hey, Mum.
Um, can
can Wes come for lunch?
Yeah.
Some water, Mum?
No, I have some already, thanks.
You're not hungry, Lils?
The man always starts first.
Oh, um
No, no, please. Go ahead.
So, are you
still living at home, Wes?
Uh, no, no.
No, I, um, I've got a flat.
Yeah, it's nothing fancy,
but it does the job.
Do you remember when
we were gonna get a flat?
Yeah, we talked about
a place in Creswick.
-Did we?
-Yeah, yeah,
we said we'd do it
until we got a family house.
So, how's Archie
and and and Stella?
Is she still with Mick?
Oh, uh,
I don't really see
any of that lot anymore.
What else has changed?
Lily.
Just eat your food,
it's gonna get cold.
You just look so
I don't know. You just
look more grown up or
Doesn't he, Abby?
Yeah. Yeah.
Um, look, um
I just
I just wanted to say, I'm
I'm
I'm so sorry, Lil,
for all that happened.
-It's fine.
-No, no,
I've gone over that day
so many times in my head
and I just wish
I'd done something.
-You know, if I could go back
-Yeah, but you can't.
None of us can,
ain't that right?
Do you want some more water,
Lils?
Oh, Abby!
Sorry, Lils.
No, it's fine! Sorry.
I can do it, I can do it.
Um, I'll be one sec.
-Sorry.
-Just leave her.
Wes, I think
it's better if you left.
Well, then
what would we tell her?
You never should have
come here in the first place.
What was I supposed to do?
You can't keep lying to
her about us, Abby. It's cruel.
What, so this is my fault?
Abs
Lily, I wanted
I wanted to tell you. I
How long
have you two been, um
Look, can we please just
Can we please just sit down
and talk about this?
Please, I really think
we need to.
When did it start?
What, since I've been gone?
No, we were friends
and then things just
You were friends?
Abby, you couldn't stand him.
Mum, isn't that right?
She couldn't.
Wait, sorry, so the whole time
I was down there,
you two were what,
you were living together?
No! No, no! We never
meant to start anything!
You're not
who I thought you were.
None of you are.
I'm I'm gonna go.
-Lily, Lily. Please, Lily.
-Abby.
Let her go.
You've caused
enough damage for today.
Lils?
Can I come in?
Hey.
There you go. Aw.
It's over.
Do you know what?
I remember when your
granddad brought you these
in the hospital.
I mean, Abby was never
bothered about hers, but
you wouldn't even go to sleep
without this little fella.
You'd just chat away
to him in your cot
and I'd just sit at the door
listening to you.
I didn't even
get to hold my baby.
Not even once.
I think I just
want to be alone, Mum.
Yeah.
Of course.
Should I close the door?
Heard about him?
Yeah?

Wes, we've been over this.
You didn't see her face.
She'd lost all hope.
So that's it? You moving out
after three years?
It's early days.
She'll come around.
No, she won't.
So what? We're just done?
Wes, she's my sister.
What else can I do?
Who are you staying with?
Friends.
What friends?
Abby!
What do you want?
You get off raping young girls?
You wanna know
what I get off on?
Gentlemen. We all know it's

Out.
See you around.
Thanks for stepping in.
Just doing my job.
You're never
gonna survive in here.
Not unless
you make a friend or two.
-Rachel?
-Hm?
Come here.
What's going on?
I've been cross-referencing
schools Hansen taught at
with girls gone
missing the last ten years.
I found this.
Isobelle Yates?
She went missing,
what, seven years ago?
Two counties away, in Dentford.
-Okay.
-And look.
I couldn't be happier
for the Denford team
and their much-deserved win
today,
said debating coach Rick Hansen.
Yeah.
Then, it wasn't his first.
No.
So, where is Isobelle?
All right. Oh!
Good looking wife.
Ignore him.
How's Alice?
She's she's okay.
She's asking
when Dad is going home.
What have you told her?
Well,
I don't know what to tell her.
Can't even get things
straight in my own head.
I know it's all been
such a big shock.
But we both know the truth.
That's what matters, eh?
Yeah.
I just keep thinking
why would
she make up all these lies?
You know why. I chose you
over her. We've been over this.
The police have been
searching around the cottage.
We asked you
if you ever went there.
I was writ
I was writing my novel.
You know,
you would smell different
when you would come back.
And I tried to ignore it, but
Is she telling the truth Rick?
-We've been over this.
-No, no.
You said
you had a one-night stand.
And the poor girl got
pregnant and needed help.
The truth is
It suited you
not to ask too many questions
back then, didn't it?
Zoe, sit down.
Of course,
Alice is Lily's daughter.
And if we want to keep her
you better do exactly as I say.
