Vanished (2026) s01e03 Episode Script

1
He's, uh gone.
Alice?
I've heard so much about you from Tom.
How's he been since the incident?
What incident?
Bandits raided the camp.
They took women and children.
No one knew I had survived.
Alice, I don't think
he ever really came back.
Does the name "Aurélie"
mean anything to you?
How do you know it's a boat?
It's a hunch.
Is it his?
I met her, actually.
He may be useless with cars,
but he could talk a dog off a meat truck.
I went to see the conductor,
the one from Tom's train,
and when I got there, he was dead.
I'm coming now.
She saw you.
Go there, now.
Seriously, what is going on?
I believe Tom Parker
runs one of the largest
human trafficking operations
in the Middle East.
You have nowhere to go.
- Hi, Alice.
- Hi, Hana.
Is His Majesty in?
I'd like to pay him a surprise visit.
Hi, beauty.
Hey.
Tom, I've come to brighten your
day.
Hi.
Hey.
Saved by the cavalry!
Hello.
Hi.
Mm.
How do you always manage
to look so wonderful
in this godforsaken heat?
Mm. Mm-hmm.
Very sweet.
Uh
Mira and I were just having
a lively debate about one of
One of our refugees.
Yeah, we still need to finalize
plans for tomorrow.
To be continued
It's not like she's going anywhere fast.
Yeah.
Glib doesn't suit you.
Alice.
Hi.
Sleep okay?
I haven't slept well since the '90s.
What's "Kalco"?
SOS had several large contracts
with a company called Kalco
for aid programs in Jordan.
Food distribution, vaccination, so on
Okay, and what's wrong with that?
The problem is the company doesn't exist.
It's a ghost.
Completely untraceable.
Did Tom ever mention Kalco to you?
Kalco
This.
Ah.
Very good.
You see?
SOS pays millions to a phantom company
to supply non-existent aid
to invisible people.
It's as much a laundromat as a charity.
So you're saying
the organization is a cover?
Oh, no, I doubt it.
SOS is a big global charity.
Like a human being,
one limb can be rotten,
but the heart pure.
You think Tom is the rotten limb.
I do not think.
It's ridiculous.
Durand is not a human trafficker,
and Tom isn't either.
You don't know Tom.
Do you?
Yeah, well, I think
that you're going down
a rabbit hole of conspiracy theories.
I mean, why? Why are you doing this?
Because I need this story,
and, frankly,
you don't have a choice.
- What?
- Nothing.
You want to take a picture?
Share with your friends?
What?
You're more an avocado toast
kind of girl?
Hmm?
Hot yoga? Mimosas at brunch?
- No, I just think that maybe
- You think what?
Okay, never mind.
There he is.
Oh, bingo.
Aren't we gonna follow him?
Not now.
What? After everything you said?
What about them?
Just a couple of guards.
I mean, it's a port.
It's not like it's the Pentagon.
Camera, camera,
camera.
If he's involved in something bad,
he may be smart enough to check
who comes in and out.
Don't you think?
Yeah, but we're not doing anything wrong.
No, but we lose
the only advantage we have.
Right now, we are invisible.
Hmm?
Uh, okay, so, what, are we just gonna
Let me know
when he comes out.
Hey, wake up! Wake up!
- What?
- Look. This serial number.
This has to belong to a container, right?
I mean, it's
For how long have you had this?
Um, I had
You must share everything with me, okay?
Okay, I just thought that maybe you
Wait.
What's he doing?
Waiting for someone.
What will you do if Tom is involved?
Oh, my God. Is that?
Inspector Drax.
They're both in on it.
No, no, no. At this point,
it's just two people talking.
- We don't have anything.
- Yes. Of course.
They're just chatting about
good wine, their wives, football maybe?
If the police is in on this,
it's huge.
Please, don't let my life get in the way
of your career redemption.
Hey, hey.
Hmm. Looks like the party's over.
Alice!
- Alice!
- Hélène!
Tom
Alice!
Hey! What are you doing?
He was
He's in the cab.
- Who?
- Tom!
Tom?
We're gonna lose him! Come on!
That's him, that's him.
Keep up.
Go, we're gonna lose him!
Just, go, go!
There he is,
there he is. Just stop! Stop!
Hey, hey, Alice!
Tom! Tom!
Fuck
Tom!
Tom!
Where did? That man. Where did?
Excuse me. God
Hey.
Hey.
Uh
What the hell is going on?
I'm sorry, I should've I should
Where did you go, Tom?
Where the fuck did you go?
Would you lower your voice?
I have been looking
all over Marseille for you.
Do you understand me?
I know the way I left
was unfair on you, all right?
I've been going through a lot
of personal stuff recently
and I should have dealt
with our situation
Our situation? Our
Our situation? Are you kid?
Alice, I'm sorry for everything.
But you should go.
You know, I know about Malik.
I know about that little boy
and what happened.
Why didn't you just tell me?
I would have understood.
Who's Who's Malik?
Don't fucking lie to me, Tom.
I know everything.
You could have just told me and it wo
We have to go. It's starting.
Alice, I'm sorry, but it's
It's over.
I have to go. Good luck, Alice.
Police!
Stop!
Hey!
That wasn't Tom
at the Opera House, that was
That was someone different.
It was like
It was like he wasn't even there, I
I don't know what's happened to him.
Why did you talk to him?
It wasn't the plan.
Okay. Don't be so callous.
Don't be so foolish.
Now he knows about us. Because of you.
There is no us.
Okay? There is me, his girlfriend,
then there's you, the conspiracy theorist
desperately trying
to resuscitate her career.
Yes, I looked you up. Let's see.
Um, "Disgraced reporter fired
for twisting all the facts."
Maybe you're right.
Maybe I'm not made for this job anymore.
God, spare me
the sad drunk routine. Please.
Cheerleader at school, were you?
Actually, yeah, I was
really good with the pompoms.
- You wanna see my dance moves?
- Not my thing.
Shit.
I can't believe this is happening.
Playing Cagney and Lacey
in a French dive bar. I
I'm out. Fuck it. Fuck Tom.
I'm going home.
- Yes, go, fine!
- Yeah, bye.
Hey, have fun!
I was a damn good journalist.
I am a damn good journalist.
Well, don't be too hard on yourself.
I've been planning a future
with a man, who, apparently,
has a woman on every continent.
I got offered a job
at Princeton.
Yeah,
I worked really hard for this and I
You know, I really thought
it was the next step.
Tom said he'd come with me
and then we'd
Let me tell you a story.
Edouard.
We met in Courchevel.
You know, the ski station?
At first, I wasn't sure about him.
I don't give my trust easily,
especially to men, but
he made me laugh.
And on the snow,
the way he turned his hips made me crazy.
A mix of elegance and
so hot.
By the end of the week,
I was totally in love.
So we move in together.
And, yes,
he's away a lot and
yes, he often works abroad, but
we are really happy.
We talk about marriage, children
Children doesn't work out,
but we don't really mind.
Life's good together.
And, like a promise,
every year, for ten years,
we go back to that same hotel,
that same week.
The hotel staff knew us
and treated us like family.
Then, one year,
they had a new boy working there.
And, suddenly, he says,
"Ah, your niece and nephew,
they're really nice, hmm?"
"My niece?
My nephew? What do you mean?"
He said
"Your brother, his wife, their kids."
"My brother? But I don't have a brother."
At this point, Edouard walks in.
"This is your brother, right?"
"My brother? No.
It's my boyfriend, Edouard."
The manager comes and, quietly,
with a smile,
he pulled the boy away.
Then I knew.
He had another family.
And the entire hotel was in on it.
Can you imagine?
That prick brought
his other family there every year.
The week before me!
Every year!
And, like you,
I thought he was all mine.
I am so, so sorry.
So, yes,
I started drinking before lunch.
And, yes,
I missed some deadlines.
I made some mistakes.
But not this.
Not Tom.
Alice,
why didn't you go on to Arles,
or back home to America?
Why do you think you're still here?
Well, to be fair, you know, Tom was
No! No, I'm not talking about Tom.
I couldn't give a shit
how you feel about him.
I'm talking about
the pursuit of the truth.
It's what you do. It's what I do.
Better to accept it.
Pretending to walk away
every five minutes,
it's just exhausting for everyone.
Hmm?
I think it's time I show you something.
Here we are.
Hebe!
They don't show you this
on Lonely Planet, huh?
Hi.
Alice, let me introduce Hebe.
She's from Syria.
She was trafficked into France last year.
Maybe you can show her
a picture of your friend.
Maybe they have met before in Jordan?
- Okay.
- Um
Do you
Um
Are you sure?
Please, can you check?
Oh, my God.
What the fuck, Tom?
Poor girl
I'm sorry, but I had to show you.
Well
What do you think?
Hmm, I think even Tom
would not recognize you now.
Okay, so what do we know we know?
He lied about the phone call.
He only called the office, so why lie?
Because something is going on at SOS?
Or maybe he was calling his, uh
His girlfriend? It's okay.
You can say his girlfriend.
Right. Then he disappeared off the train.
Was he running away from me?
Was he running away from you?
They must have got Geroux
to help stop the train.
You were right about
the bubblegum, by the way.
Thank you.
Right, next we have
the Durand and Drax meeting.
And don't forget your
friend at the hotel.
- Yes.
- Jesus.
What a cast of characters.
All right. Then Kalco. Kalco
It doesn't get us anywhere.
It's an empty office building
in the middle of nowhere.
What about the receipt for the container?
What if we found the container?
Hi.
- Can I talk
- Yeah, yeah.
- Try
- Of course.
Hi.
Uh, do you speak English?
- A little.
- Okay.
My husband and I actually
just moved to Marseille.
So beautiful.
And I would love
if our apartment was just,
you know, parfait for his arrival.
- Do you understand?
- Mm-hmm.
If I could get our belongings
out as soon as possible,
I could make that happen for
Just Just no? Just Um
Um, honestly, there's
There's important things
in the box.
My My My grammy's
ashes.
You know, it
Are you okay?
Oh! Are you?
Help her, help her!
Hurry!
Are you okay?
We should go.
Thank you.
Let's go.
SS Montmartre.
Yeah, it arrived last night.
Oh
So?
I have to know who he is.
There's got to be another way.
Are you a good swimmer?
I have no idea how to get in.
- Wait.
- What?
- Come with me!
- Wait. Alice!
No
Alice!
Are you crazy?
The truck covers the cameras.
Hold on, hold on.
That's the boat.
It should be right here.
Alice
4638
Come on.
4650
Oh, my God, we found it.
Come on.
- Shit.
- Okay.
Okay
Come on, come on.
Yeah
Oh, my God.
