Girl Taken (2026) s01e04 Episode Script

1
-Mom?
-Oh my God!
Remember that student?
The one-night stand?
The girl's a fantasist.
Wants revenge.
-Have you ever been pregnant?
-He was a boy.
He died at the birth.
Whatever she said,
it's all a pack of lies.
Where did you bury the baby,
Rick?
-What baby?
-Do you ever hear from Wes?
You can't keep lying
to her about us, Abby.
So the whole time I was down
there, you were living together?
-What? We're just done?
-What else can I do?
We found the cottage,
but he got to it before we did.
Of course Alice
is Lily's daughter.
If we want to keep her,
you better do exactly as I say.
Isobelle Yates.
She went missing,
what, seven years ago?
So where's Isobelle?
Baby Doll.
So long for your embrace ♪
But you leave
with no more trace ♪
I can see it ♪
In your eyes ♪
There's nowhere you can hide
There's nowhere left to run ♪
You're not the only one ♪
What is that?
Add it to the pile.
Oh
Oh!
Just get up.
Hey, Allan!
Yeah, you had fun
last night, yeah?
You let your guard down.
Yo! Hey!
Take this! Take this!
Go on, yeah.
Leave this.
Zoe! Zoe! Zoe! Zoe!
I'm afraid you all need to
leave. This is private property.
Does this change
things, Mrs. Hansen?
Mrs. Hansen, do you believe
your husband?
Yes, I believe my husband.
And I'm standing by him.
Lily Riser is nothing
more than a scorned,
silly little girl who
doesn't know what she's saying.
Stupid woman.
Allowing herself to be
manipulated and fooled
by that fucking animal.
-Is that what everyone thinks?
-Yes.
-What, that I'm scorned
-No, no, no, no.
I meant everybody thinks
what I said
It's what I said about, uh,
they do they do, Lily.
That's what they
Before you worked at
Hollowfell Secondary School,
you were a teacher up at Denford
Girls Grammar, is that right?
Correct.
Do you remember a girl
called Isobelle Yates?
She was a student at Denford.
Until October 2018,
when she went missing.
-Do you remember her?
-No comment.
She was in your Year 12 set.
Yes?
She was the same age
as Lily Riser.
What exactly are you implying?
I'm not implying anything.
I'm simply asking Mr. Hansen
here to answer my questions.
I would I like a word
with my client. In private.
Right now?
Yes.
-What is this?
-You remember her?
Look, whatever happened
regarding this Isobelle
-Have they got any evidence?
-Not that I know,
not that I've seen. But
if Lily Riser doesn't
retract her statement
and they throw this
Isobelle in the mix,
you could be looking at life.
So, what are you saying?
That you consider a guilty plea
to Lily Riser's accusations.
But hear me out.
It might just take the heat off
this Isobelle Yates situation.
And this way,
you could be out in a few years.
Seven to ten years max.
-Tell them I'll talk.
-Rick, I really don't
Tell them I'll talk.
On one condition.
I appreciate the faith
that you have in me.
I know it's unorthodox,
risky, but
I can get this done
safely whilst also
getting what's needed,
which is finding Isobelle Yates.
Yeah. All right, thank you.
Cool. Thanks.
Come with me.
How did it go?
They're promoting me to DI,
so I can stay on the case.
-Great.
-I need you to contact
the prison and set up a meeting
with Lily and Hansen.
-What?
-Nothing.
Rachel?
It's just, no one's even spoken
to Lily yet.
I mean, it's a risk
just asking her, isn't it?
What if she sees us
as using her?
There'll be
a psychologist there.
They'll do an assessment,
she'll be fine.
But is that not just
playing into Rick's hands?
What What if Isobelle's
dead already?
And what if she's still alive?
Running out of food and water.
-Okay, I just think we need to
-Look, look.
Hansen is connected somehow.
What leads do we have?
Lock-ups? Rentals?
-No.
-Well, then.
Lily, we believe
there might have been
another girl that Hansen
took before he took you.
She was taught by Hansen
at his previous school
before he moved to yours.
She's also been missing.
Right, before,
when you were in the basement,
did you see anything?
Anything at all
that could indicate
that another girl
had been kept down there?
No.
-Sorry, I don't know
-It's all right, it's all right.
You don't have to, it's fine.
Who, um
Where would she be if she does
That's what we're
trying to figure out.
Right, she could have escaped.
She could have been so relieved,
so scared,
that she didn't even
want to come forward.
Or
She's still trapped.
Right.
There were markings on the wall.
What sort
what kind of markings?
I mean, I I don't know,
I can't be sure,
but they they could
have been
I mean, maybe they
were initials, like
they were I-Y.
Okay, that's helpful. Thank you.
What does he say about it,
about her?
-He's stonewalling us.
-Yeah, of course he is.
But Lily, he is refusing
to speak to anyone about her.
Except for you.
-What?
-No.
-No, I'm not doing that.
-No, you don't have to.
I know, I know. I'm sorry,
I wouldn't be asking
if I didn't think that you could
help us find Isobelle.
No, I do not feel comfortable
about this, at all.
We'd have a psychologist
who would talk you through
everything, what to expect.
You can bring someone
with you, maybe maybe mum?
-It's okay.
-We'd even make sure
that you have police protection.
No, please, I'm not even sure,
I don't even know
if they were initials.
They could have just
been scratches on the wall.
I get it, I understand,
you're scared. I would be, too.
Do you seriously believe
that I can get him to
Well, that I can get him
to talk about
who this other girl may
or may not be, about any of it?
Yes, he said that he would
he would talk only
if it's with you.
And And maybe,
maybe you could reach him.
-Reach him?
-Yeah.
I just don't understand
why he just won't let me go.
It's okay, it's okay.
Lily, please.
Tommy, please, just leave.
-All I need
-Just, enough!
Just please, leave.
Give me a minute.
-I'm sorry, all right?
-What were you thinking, Tommy?
What's going on?
-I need her help.
-Oh, you need her help.
-Yes. Yes, I do.
-No, she doesn't have
to give you anything, she's
given you everything already.
Okay.
Lily.
Fuck! Oh, Wes
Sorry, I'm so sorry.
What are you doing here?
Yes, she's, uh
Well, she's somehow got
into Sabrina Carpenter.
So she, um, well,
she will dance around the lounge
and she puts one hand on her hip
and the other one holds a little
plastic cup and she sings,
"Espresso."
I don't think
that's appropriate.
What are you doing for me
out there?
You're defending me
every chance you get, right?
Well, yeah, of course
I am. Uh, I spoke to the press.
-I was on the news, did you see?
-No.
John Masters has been in touch.
He briefed me.
I know exactly what
to say at your plea hearing.
We'll get you out of here
and then you'll come home, and
our Alice will have
her mummy and daddy again.
Fucking scum.
Hey, Steven, get out.
Out of here.
Oh, my God.
Ah
Police are
searching woodlands
near Kreswick and Hollowfell
for missing schoolgirl,
Isobelle Yates,
who vanished seven years ago,
but is now believed
The dig also
continues for the remains
of an infant linked
to Lily Riser,
who says she was held captive
for five years.
Both cases
connected to former teacher,
Richard Hansen, now charged
with her abduction.
-Rachel.
-Hey.
You were right.
Lily won't talk to Hansen.
How's the search going?
Not great, boss.
There's nothing so far.
We're just going over
old ground here.
Yeah, well, we have
to double our efforts.
We don't have much time
if Isobelle is still alive.
Okay. All right.
I've been, uh, calling
Abby, but she's not got back.
Yeah, Mum's been
calling her, too.
I don't think
she's heard anything.
-Well, I'm sorry.
-Yeah, break ups are
Shit.
Yeah.
Hey, look, I'm sorry for, um
you know, everything
that happened with us.
-For hurting you.
-It don't matter.
-It does.
-It doesn't.
It's not like I was here.
Like, you didn't think you'd
ever see me again, did you?
No.
But you did.
I can't believe
this place is still standing.
-Hey, careful.
-Come on.
Come on.
You okay?
I was just thinking.
Memories.
Yeah, lots.
Mostly just us taking pictures
and drinking cider.
Lily?
Nope.
Where have you been?
Everyone's been calling you.
I need somewhere to stay.
Oh, God,
look at the state of you.
And you stink of alcohol.
Why would you go AWOL
when you know
it's going to stress Lily out?
Are you going to answer
any of my questions
or are you too hungover?
You tell me, Mum. You know
all about being hungover.
-Oh!
-Tell me,
what's for dinner tonight?
Pinot or Prosecco?
Grow up and sort yourself out.
-For Lily's sake?
-No, for your own!
-Mum.
-What?
What?
Nothing.
Great.
Watch your back, mate.
Right, come on.
Let's go and check down D-block.
Seen your mate down there.
Yeah.
Watch out for Rick.
You're on the numbers now.
All right,
boss man, come in.
Boys.
Don't eat the soup,
it's fucking poisoned.
Fucking nonce!
Pedophile! Fuck him up!
You know,
this might be my favorite place
in the whole world.
This place?
Yeah.
When everything was just
Beginning?
Yeah, somehow I knew exactly
who I was, what I wanted.
You were cool.
Very cool.
Do you want me jacket?
Uh, yes, please.
Thanks.
Oh, God.
What?
Oh God,
you still with the Lynx Africa?
Sorry.
-You're welcome.
-I'm joking.
-I'm joking. Come here!
-No. No!
I'll be whatever
you want me to be.
No, Lily. What are you doing?
Lily. Lily, stop.
-Stop. Please, wait, wait.
-Fuck off.
No. I can't.
I can't let you walk off again.
-It's too late.
-Lils.
You know,
if you'd have just followed me
-I know, I know.
-Do you?
I think about it all the time.
Yeah, he would never have
taken me, and you and me,
we'd still be together,
wouldn't we?
What's wrong with me?
-Nothing.
-Then why?
Can you please just tell me
what you want me to be?
I don't want you
to be anything, Lily.
I don't.
What we had,
it was special, it was.
But we're not
17 years old anymore.
It's gone.
This, it's
it's all gone.
And I can't.
I love her.
I love Abby.
Okay. It's fine.
Thanks.
Mum?
Lily?
Oh, thank God.
Are you all right?
Yeah, I'm fine.
-What were you doing here?
-I just went looking for you.
What, and found Wes?
I just I just wanted
to make sure she got home.
You know, I am here, you know.
Thanks.
-I've made dinner.
-No, I'm not hungry.
Lil You have
to eat something. Lily!
Abby.
Um
Are you all right?
Yeah.
Do you want
to maybe go somewhere?
-Have a chat?
-What about?
Everything.
I've just been
so worried about you. And
Where'd you go with Lily?
-Just the factory.
-Why?
Because
I don't know, she wanted to.
It's not like that.
As if I'd do that to you.
Abby, I love you.
Yeah, but you loved her first.
What does that mean?
What does that even mean, Abby?
-Abby!
-Wes.
I'll see you out.
Look, Wes. We all just
need some space right now.
I'm not a bad person, Eve.
Wes, no one thinks
you're a bad person.
-I'm not.
-It's just
You're just not
what we need right now.
I don't think
that's for you to decide.
I didn't cause this.
I didn't hurt Lily. I didn't
Well, you left my daughter once.
You could do it again.
All right.
Put it away, gentlemen.
Can you keep an eye on that?
All right.
Lock him up!
You need a medic.
Get up.
I did warn you.
You need to make friends.
Police are appealing
for information after searches
in Ridgway Forest and at a rura
residence ended without success
in the case of Isobelle Yates,
missing for seven years.
Detectives believe
she may still be alive
and warned that
time is critical.
The appeal follows
Lily Riser's return
and the arrest
of schoolteacher Rick Hansen,
now linked to both women
as their former teacher.
Hey.
Do you mind if
I come in with you?
Lil?
Lil, what's Lil, are you okay?
Lil. What's wrong?
I tried to kiss Wes.
I didn't think about you.
I didn't think about him.
I just wanted what I wanted.
-That doesn't matter.
-It does matter! It
You know who did that to him?
Just
-It was Rick.
-No.
No, it's not.
You're nothing like him.
-Am I not?
-No, of course not.
Yeah, there's another girl.
What?
Yeah, Tommy, he said
he said he thinks Rick
took someone else before me.
-Well, what happened to her?
-I don't know.
Still looking.
Okay, well, you don't need
to think about that right now.
I just thought
everything would go back
to exactly the way it was
before, you know? Like
But it can't.
You know he really
does love you, Abby.
Yeah, well, I don't love him.
Abby, you okay?
I'm sorry,
I didn't mean to upset you.
-Sorry.
-No, it's fine.
I think I just have a bit
of alcohol in my system.
Thanks.
You're pregnant.
I'm I'm so I'm sorry.
-I'm sorry.
-No, it's okay.
-It's okay.
-I'm so sorry.
It's fine.
I can't go back
on the wing.
Do you want
the penthouse suite instead?
Look, I know what you do.
Choose a favorite
and give them protection.
I don't know
what you're talking about.
Whatever it is they give you,
I can give you that.
And I can guarantee I'll be
ten times fucking better at it.
Lily?
-Lily? Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.
-I want to get him out of me.
Hey, come on, stop.
Come on. Come on.
It's okay. Stop.
Come on.
Hey.
Hey, hey, hey.
Come here, come here.
It's okay.
It's okay.
It's okay, it's okay, it's okay.
I'm sorry.
Slut.
You've got ten minutes.
Abby.
You do know that this is
the worst possible situation
for your sister.
Do you ever even think about
pretending to care about me,
or is that just
not possible for you?
-That's not fair.
-Well, tell me I'm wrong, then.
You're wrong.
You're gonna have to look at
this from Lily's perspective.
Not only do you
have a boyfriend,
but now you've got a baby.
Did you think I planned this?
Well, if you didn't,
you should've been more careful.
-Lils? You okay?
-Yeah, I'm fine, sorry.
-Sorry. I'm sorry.
-What's happened?
-It's just a plate, Lils.
-Oh, don't worry about
Oh, don't worry.
It's just a plate.
No, it's not fine, okay?
It's not fucking fine.
None of it is fine.
Okay, but it will be,
eventually, in the end.
When is the end, Mum?
What, when he's put away?
When he's let free? When?
-We wouldn't let that happen.
-You don't know that.
You literally,
you can't know that, Mum.
Lily, come on.
I am always,
always just gonna be stuck
-while everyone else is moving.
-No, my gosh, Lils.
No!
Abby, you're having Wes's baby.
How much more
moving on is there?
No, I'm not.
Look, Lils,
I'll get rid of it then, okay?
-No, no, Mum, Mum, I won't.
-Abby, no.
-No, Mum.
-No, you can't say that.
-No, Mum, I don't
-Please.
-Mum, I don't want it, okay?
-No, Abby, no. You can't
-Mum, Mum, no.
-No.
Come on. Jesus.
I waited and I waited
and I waited for you guys
-to come for me.
-I know. I'm so sorry.
Mum, okay, you know, please,
can you just listen to me?
I was beaten.
I was humiliated.
And I was raped
every single day.
And I can't stop thinking
about that girl
and how she's down there,
and she's just
waiting for someone
to come and save her and
And if I can do that
I need to go and talk to him.
Mum, I have to.
I have to go and talk to him.
Okay.
Lily.
This is where
I have to leave you.
Are you sure about this?
I'm certain.
Thank you.
Your mother and I will be in
another room
watching everything.
And you can stop at any time,
all right?
Okay.
I'm okay.
Baby Doll.
Is what you're saying
I called you.
Where is she, Rick?
Where's Isobelle Yates?
Did you take her?
Did you hurt her
like you hurt me?
Just tell me where she is.
Why are you doing this, Lily?
Why?
-You know why.
-I don't. I really don't.
Can you just stop?
I'm not doing anything.
I'm trying to appeal to you,
beg you to tell the truth.
No, no, no.
This is the truth.
You took me, and then
before that, you took Isobelle.
It must have been a lot for you.
Just tell me.
Tell me everything.
It's me.
It's your Baby Doll.
Lily.
Lily.
You're the one who took me away
from my family, from my wife.
I know I hurt you,
but we never should have kissed.
We never should have
But that's why I put an end
to it, because it was wrong.
-No.
-Yes.
It was wrong.
I know it hurts to hear that,
but I know that's why
you hurt yourself,
why you ran away,
and why you're now
playing your last card,
trying to punish me.
But what happened between
us wasn't love, Lily.
I'm a married man.
I made a terrible mistake.
But I love my wife.
That's why I'm begging you
to stop this, please.
And Lily, I can find it
in myself to forgive you. I can.
But you have to find a way
to forgive yourself.
You bastard.
You're a fucking bastard!
-Hey stop!
-See what I'm dealing with?
These mad, stupid little girls
-Get off me! Let me go!
-trying to ruin my life!
You're a bastard!
You're don't even give a fuck
Eve, can we talk, please?
Lily. Lily.
Lily, please, Lily. Lily.
Lily.
-I'm sorry.
-Yeah, you always are.
I mean,
what was all that about, anyway?
Are you trying
to prove something?
What? No. This was about
Isobelle and Lily.
No, it wasn't!
This was all him.
This was all for Hansen.
-Eve!
-Leave me alone.
Leave us all alone.
Lily please!
I'm sorry, Lily.
I'm so sorry, Lily.
I shouldn't have reacted.
Lily, please.
Please, Lil, I'm sorry.
Lily, please!
Good night, Baby Doll.
