[music continues]

[birds chirping]

Hello, Wembley!

Let me hear the noise!

It's PC Callum McCarthy!

[Marlene clapping]

I always wanted to come to an activity centre like this

when I was a kid, but mommy wouldn't let me.

Too rough.

Have you searched those bushes?

Nobody would stash drugs there, Sarge.

The rats would get them.

[melancholic music]

[both grunting]

Is the boss coming back today?

Yep.

Hold still, cub.

And Leila's going on leave?

No, she's just having a day off.

I wonder if she's gonna be meeting up with that

mystery man.

[music resumes]

You let me down.

-[seagulls squawking] -[relaxing music]

Ta-da!

Where is everybody?

I thought at least Barry would be here.

I bet they'll be around later.

They know we're back this morning.

You know, until the bar opens, technically,

we're still on honeymoon.

What are you like?

Go up them stairs, you Bond girl!

-[both screaming] -[laughing]

[relaxing music]

What have we found?

Nothing for INTERPOL.

Probably just kids partying.

Some cannabis, and then prescription meds

from a pharmacy in London.

[Finn] Tripazadrine.

What's it for?

No idea.

These crazy kids, they could be taking anything.

All right.

That's the lot.

That's great.

Let me see your pupils.

Very funny.

[Marlene and Finn laugh]

-[upbeat music] -[water sloshing]

[knocking on door]

Is Niamh here?

Thought she was joining Shay at the sailing club today.

He's just called.

The mini bus arrived, she wasn't on it.

What's the matter?

Niamh, my daughter is missing.

I dropped Niamh off at her friend's house last night

for a sleep over.

Did you speak to the friend?

Joanne O'Connell, yes.

She said she didn't sleep there after all.

She changed her mind and went home around 9.

What, she's been missing all night?

I've been phoning her mobile, but she won't answer.

She'll pick up for me.

It'll go straight to voicemail.

[Niamh On phone] Hi, you've reached Niamh.

If I didn't answer, it's 'cause I don't want to talk to you.

Why would she switch off her phone?

[suspenseful music]

It's not like you to have time off.

Siobhan and I are giving it another go,

for the sake of the kids.

Romance is in the air, what with Leila's mystery man

and you and Siobhan getting back together.

We're taking it slow.

Siobhan's still in the spare room.

And in the dark about you and Leila?

I saw the two of you all lovey-dovey

the night of Shay's birthday.

What you saw was us breaking up.

[phone ringing]

Leila.

We're on our way.

What is it, what's up?

It's Niamh.

She's been missing for over 12 hours.

-[suspenseful music] -[seagulls squawking]

[buzzer sounds]

Hey.

It's gonna be okay, Marlene knows how to handle this.

Siobhan.

Has Niamh ever done anything like this before?

Never.

Is there any chance she could have went back up

to Belfast?

No, I don't think so.

Any boyfriends on the scene?

-No. -No one special.

What do you mean, no one special?

Shes' only 15!

Ma, please.

Maybe I should wait at home for Niamh.

Just in case.

Thanks, Ma.

[melancholic music]

So you've decided to turn yourself in at last, huh?

Hey, what's the matter?

What's happened?

[Finn] So who's this boyfriend?

Albi McLindon.

He's a barman up in Belfast.

He's a what?

What age is he?

He's 20.

[Finn] He's 20?

How did Niamh meet him?

At a gig.

She hadn't been seeing him long when I find out.

What?

I cornered him at work, I told him to stop seeing her.

I put a stop to it.

Well you didn't if she's gone off with him.

Do you have his contact details?

No, but he works in the Trough and Nosebag

up at the cathedral quarter.

I need you to go home, check if any of Niamh's clothes

are missing.

Gather up her laptop, her tablet and bring them here, okay?

[Siobhan] Okay.

Okay, I want to be kept informed at all times.

No matter what yous find.

Understood?

-Yes. -Sure.

[door opens, closes]

Ah, Callum.

Can you check the buses to Belfast from eight o'clock

last night for Niamh?

Yeah, on it.

Cheers.

If your Da asked you to stop seeing a boy at 15,

what would you have done?

Tell him it was all over to keep him quiet and carry on

seeing the guy.

Exactly.

So the best friend usually knows everything.

I'm gonna go out and talk to Joanne.

I'll come with you.

Yeah.

[relaxing music]

[Leila] Joanne.

Do you know if Niamh is still seeing Albi?

No way.

She dumped him when she found out he was two-timing her.

Did you ever see him around here?

[Joanne] Never.

I have no idea what he looks like.

He never let Niamh take any photos of them together.

Now I know why.

The rat.

Could someone else have come to pick her up?

New boyfriend maybe?

I dunno.

She said she was walking home and she borrowed

my silver jacket.

You're certain she left at nine?

I texted her right after.

And she didn't text back?

No.

I thought she was in a huff with me.

[Callum On radio] Papa Delta 22, from Papa Delta 81.

I've got a result from the door to door.

Excuse us, Joanne.

Mrs. Duffy from down the road caught this footage

yesterday on her Blue Tick cam.

[suspenseful music]

-[seagulls squawking] -[music continues]

Maybe you should wait back at the station.

Why?

Look, I know about you and Finn.

I know he split up and I just,

I just don't want you to be awkward around him.

He didn't dump me, it was my decision.

We only had a few dates.

We're colleagues, nothing more.

I wonder what else went on in Belfast

that I wasn't told about.

I wanted to tell you about Albi,

but you weren't speaking to me.

[knock on door]

Come on through.

We've been through all her clothes,

there's nothing missing.

We have footage of Niamh that appears to show her

getting into a van with an unidentified male.

[Marlene] Would you be able to tell us

if this is Albi McLinden?

Niamh swore to me she'd finished with him.

[suspenseful music]

No, that's not Albi.

No, I only met him once, but this guy's taller,

and he's older too.

The van has a damaged brake light on the driver's side.

Thank you.

And how do you know she got into the van with him?

She can't be seen once the van pulls away.

So who's this guy then?

[music continues]

[Clint sighs]

Is that a love poem you're writing?

No, it's a shopping list for you.

I'm going to make the wedding stew that we had

on our first night in Oman.

I'm going to get everyone round and we could

put the honeymoon photos up on the big screen.

It's a great idea.

So what time do the girls arrive?

I don't know, they haven't replied.

It's all a bit weird, isn't it?

I know.

I wonder what they could all be doing that's more important.

[suspenseful music]

Albi didn't show up for work last night because he was

holding his girlfriend's hand on a maternity ward.

Albi junior was born at 2:00 AM.

We can rule Albi out.

We have to assume now this is a possible kidnapping.

We need to call the major investigation team.

I told you it wasn't Albi.

Why didn't you believe me?

-Siobhan. -No, no, no.

My daughter's been missing for 14 hours.

Taken by a stranger.

You should be out looking for her.

[suspenseful music continues]

I had a call from Mrs. Duffy.

She caught the whole thing on her Blue Tick camera.

She wasn't supposed to say,

but she knows Niamh's my granddaughter.

Well, don't you be fretting.

Marlene will be out there combing the area.

And while we're waiting for the news, I'll make you

a wee cup of tea.

Tea's your answer to everything.

Have you shares in a plantation?

I know something's wrong.

I need to be out there looking for her.

Did Mrs. Duffy say anything about the sort of vehicle

this fella was driving?

Yes, it was a white van.

All right, Mrs.

Get your coat.

We're going for a wee drive around.

[suspenseful music]

Look, there is is.

Quick, follow it.

[music intensifies]

[Leila] What did you find on Joanne's phone?

Well, we know what the girls were arguing about,

and it wasn't your man Albi.

Niamh disapproved of someone that Joanne was

chatting with online.

What time did Joanne's dad say he'd get here?

He's stuck in traffic.

We can't wait.

We need to get ahold of an appropriate adult.

There you are.

Wait 'til you see the state of my belly dancing.

[Nicole chuckles]

Well, she's definitely an adult.

-[buzzer sounds] -Nicole.

We were wondering if you could possibly help us.

Well here.

If you need a case solved, I'm your woman.

Seriously, I've seen every episode

of "Murder, She Wrote" Twice.

So, the minor we've been interviewing doesn't have

a parent present, and we need someone to take their place.

But, I don't need you to say or do anything.

You won't even know I'm there.

[relaxing music]

[Leila] Joanne.

Who is Joe?

We know you've been chatting with him online.

And that you and Niamh argued about it.

Joe wanted to meet up with me,

but Niamh thought it was a bad idea.

Why would she think that?

'Cause he's older than me.

How much older?

He's 35.

The dirty.

He's not a perv or anything.

He's my friend, that's all.

You think Joe took Niamh?

Do you have a photo of him, or a social media profile?

[suspenseful music]

We'll be back in a moment, Joanne.

[door shuts]

He wasn't waiting for Niamh.

Joanne was his intended target.

The girls could pass for sisters.

And Niamh borrowed her jacket.

He must have realised his mistake by now.

Why hasn't he let Niamh go?

That's what worries me.

Callum, update the major investigation team.

Yeah.

[suspenseful music]

There it is.

Opposite that new deli.

[Barry] That guy in the baseball hat is getting into it.

I'm making a citizen's arrest.

Don't, you wait one minute.

Hang on.

What have you done with my granddaughter?

Concepta.

Clint.

what are you doing here?

Well, Nicole's making a stew from Oman,

has me getting all the ingredients.

Have you heard of black lemons?

We have been chasing your white van all over town.

What for?

Niamh got into one last night,

and nobody has seen her since.

[suspenseful music]

[seagulls squawking]

This is my fault.

I encouraged her to go to Joanne's so that we could spend

more time together.

If she stayed home she'd be safe now.

You're not to blame for this.

I had that stupid fling and ruined everything.

I'm just as much to blame for our marriage break down.

I stopped being a husband to you long before

you had the affair.

I'm sorry.

[music continues]

Meeting Joe online was the only nice thing

that's happened for ages.

Joanne's mom passed away recently.

I'm very sorry for your loss.

Joe lets me talk about mom as much as I want.

He's a good listener.

They all are until,

sorry.

Joe said he wanted to meet me in person.

I'm sure he did.

Niamh wanted to know why he was coming

all the way from London.

[buzzer sounds]

We've got news on the van.

Can you bear with us, Joanne?

Major investigations ID'd the van.

It was stolen from the Belfast ferry terminal

three days ago.

This guy Joanne was chatting to said he was coming

from London.

So these meds we found this morning,

they had a London address on them,

and I'm sure there were made out to a Joseph someone.

Bingo.

Joseph Milligan, Old Ford Pharmacy, London, E3.

Callum, we need to track down the kids who broke

into that activity centre and find out what they know.

On it.

[leaves rustling]

-[melancholic music] -[seagulls squawking]

[Finn sighs]

[Siobhan] Finn.

Hey.

There's someone here to see you.

Clint.

Came as soon as I heard, man.

Are you all right?

Yeah.

Who told you?

Your Ma.

Her and Barry have been tailing me all over town.

Should I be out looking too?

No, thanks but, I should probably put a stop to it.

I mean, they mean well, but they could make

a dangerous situation worse.

What a nightmare, bud.

I'm just trying to stay strong for Siobhan, but.

You shouldn't have to shoulder this alone.

Times like these you need to be able to lean on

the one you love.

Look, if you're serious about giving your marriage

another go, you to be able to talk to her.

[melancholic music resumes]

I know.

But look, what do I know, huh?

I've only been married five minutes and I'm already turning

into an agony aunt.

She'll be all right.

[Finn sighs]

[music continues]

[Marlene] Okay, thank you.

Bye.

According to the Met, Joseph Milligan has a record for

drug offences and assaulting a police officer.

Has he done time?

18 months in a medium secure unit.

He has mental health issues.

What kind of issues?

Paranoid schizophrenia.

I mean, if he takes his anti-psychotic meds he's fine, but,

And if he stops?

He can become agitated, angry, possibly violent.

Let's hope that's not his entire supply.

So the family moved to London when he was in his teens,

but Joe's a local boy.

Do you remember a Joseph Milligan?

No.

What, you mean Spike?

The only punk rocker in Port Devine.

Oh yeah, I forgot about him.

That's right.

Well, if it's the same fella, he used to go out

with Joanne's mom, Anne.

[buzzer sounds]

Did you manage to catch up with any of those kids?

Yeah, they recognise Joe.

They said they only bought his meds to get rid of him

because he was acting a bit weird and rambling.

What kind of rambling?

Said he said something about needing money

to save his daughter.

[suspenseful music]

[Concepta] I'm going home now.

Okay, I promise.

Hello?

Hello?

No signal.

Talking to myself as usual.

-That was Finn. -[Barry] I know, I heard him.

[Concepta] Half the town heard him.

I had a text from Marlene.

Apparently we were wasting our time searching every white

van in the country.

The one we were looking for has a damaged brake light.

It would have been helpful if I'd known that earlier.

Why have we stopped here?

[suspenseful music]

Damaged brake light.

That's it.

Wait.

You go back, wait by the car.

Finn told you to go home, he didn't say anything to me.

I'll take a wee look.

[music continues]

We just spoke with your dad. He'll be back soon.

He also told us that a few days after your mom died,

Joe contacted him.

What?

Before he friended me?

But why would he contact my dad?

He wanted to know your date of birth.

Spike's not her father, is he?

Joe is Spike?

Mom's old boyfriend?

Yes, but she broke up with him before she met your dad.

Then a year later, you were born.

So why is he stalking her?

Joe has mental health issues,

and we think the news of your mom's death triggered him

to have a breakdown.

As part of his delusions, Joe might believe

you're his daughter.

[Joanne sighs]

[suspenseful music]

Dear God.

You nearly gave me a heart attack!

Are you gonna look inside?

This is a crime scene.

We need to contact Finn.

I've tried, there's no signal.

There are certain procedures you have to follow.

[music continues]

[phone buzzing]

It's Niamh!

Wait.

Marlene, alert the major investigation team.

If Joe still has Niamh, this could be him.

Try to stay calm and friendly.

Answer on speaker.

And you, not a word.

Hello?

Niamh?

[Joe On Phone] It's Joe.

Is that you, Joanne?

Yes, it's me.

[Joe On Phone] So happy to hear your voice.

Joe, do you know where my friend Niamh is?

[Joe On Phone] She's somewhere safe.

Can I speak to her, please?

[Joe On Phone] No.

She's only tell lies.

Joanne, do you know where the bridge is in Devine forest?

Yes.

Meet me there in 15 minutes.

What happens now?

Excuse me?

You haven't seen a teenage girl on your walk, have you?

No,

No, you're the first I've seen today.

Joseph Milligan, is that you?

Aye.

It is, Mrs. O'Hare.

I didn't recognise you there

without your blue, spiky hair.

Oh, now I remember you.

You're the graffiti artist.

Yep.

That's some memory you have, inspector Pettigrew.

Retired now.

[Concepta] Just back to visit family?

To see my daughter.

Her mom passed recently.

Oh, sorry for your loss.

We're looking for my granddaughter, Niamh.

She's been missing since last night.

I'm so sorry.

If I ever get my hands on the one who took her,

his life won't be worth living.

She's only 15.

Well, I hope you find her, safe and well.

-[retreating footsteps] -[suspenseful music]

I never knew he had a daughter around here.

[knocking on door]

[Siobhan] Leila.

The major investigations team has located the suspect

and is moving in to arrest him.

Where, when?

Right now.

And Niamh?

She was taken by mistake.

Oh, it's Shay, I should speak to him.

Thank you.

How are you holding up?

I'm losing my mind.

I keep telling myself that she's gonna

come through this, but.

When Niamh was born, there were some complications.

Didn't think she was gonna make it.

Because of that,

I always told her that I love her.

But I've never,

I've never told her that I'm really proud of her.

[emotional music]

You can tell her when we bring her home.

[Siobhan] Finn.

The van is at the location now, but no sign of the suspect

or Niamh, over.

Have you got a picture of the suspect?

Yeah.

Here.

[suspenseful music]

When did you see him?

Shortly before you arrived.

He was heading for the main road.

Let's go.

[music continues]

That's your mom and dad then?

[Joanne] Yeah.

Mum wanted it taken.

Think she knew she wasn't well.

She's got a lovely smile.

You look a lot like her.

I have some more photos of mum.

Would you like to see?

I'd like that very much.

[Joe] Who are you?

[suspenseful music]

My name's Leila, I'm Niamh's friend.

Can I see her?

Not until I see Joanne.

I've got something to tell her.

I'm her Da.

She's named after me and her mom.

Joe plus Anne, Joanne.

I wasn't named after you.

I was named after my Nana.

That's not true!

Joanne, you've got to listen to me.

Stop.

Joe, you need to stay back.

It's okay.

We're all going to stay calm.

Aren't we, Joe?

Joanne, why don't you tell Joe what your mum said about him?

Are you really Spike?

No one's called me that in years.

Mum said you were her first love.

She never forgot you.

I never forgot her.

I'm not religious, but Anne was.

And every year I go into a chapel, and I light a candle

on her birthday.

Did you find anything upstairs?

[suspenseful music]

Joe, I have something very precious for you.

It's a photo taken a long time ago of you and Anne.

Put the knife down.

I will hand it to you.

[knife clangs]

Thank you, Joe.

[suspenseful music]

Look at us.

We were so happy.

Joe, can you tell me where Niamh is?

She's in the forest.

It's a big forest.

Can you tell me exactly where she is?

She said she needed the toilet.

When I let her out of the van, she ran away.

I called for her to come back, but,

she wouldn't listen.

[suspenseful music]

Callum, do you think you can wait with Joanne

until her dad arrives?

Yeah, sure.

If I took you to the forest,

do you think you can show us where you last saw Niamh?

Maybe.

That's not procedure.

I take full responsibility.

If this goes wrong, you could lose your job.

Niamh's in danger, she's our priority.

[music continues]

Does anything look familiar, Joe?

Not really.

All the trees look the same to me.

He hasn't a clue where he is.

Quiet.

Listen.

When I let her out of the van, she ran away

towards the waterfall.

-You're certain? -Yeah.

Yeah, when I heard it, it reminded me of the time

that me and Anne went up there.

Take him back to the car, Marlene.

Okay, let's go.

[suspenseful music]

Niamh!

Niamh!

[rapid footsteps]

[water running]

[suspenseful music]

Niamh!

Niamh!

Niamh.

Niamh!

Please.

Leila.

Are you okay?

I'm okay.

I fell, twisted my ankle, but I'm okay.

I'm okay.

[uplifting music]

I keep looking at my watch thinking an hour's passed,

it's only been a minute.

You're not the only one that's been sick

with worry all day.

I'm sorry, Finn.

I'm listening now.

It's okay.

I was able to talk to someone.

Just not your wife?

Clint's been a good friend to you?

Yeah.

I don't know how I would've got through this on my own.

You'd never have to.

We're family.

We always will be,

no matter what happens.

It's Leila.

You okay?

Yeah.

Oh, Niamh!

Okay, sweetheart?

Thank you.

Leila found her.

Oh God.

Oh thank you.

Come on, let's get you inside.

Come on. [chuckles]

Can we let them enjoy their reunion?

Wait 'til tomorrow to tell Finn that I took Joe

to the forest.

You went above and beyond to find Niamh.

And I know you did it for Finn.

If you care for him that much,

why did you break up with him?

Finn loves his children.

That's more important than my feelings.

[melancholic music]

And to think you were standing there,

gabbling away with him.

Oh, here's Callum now.

Niamh's been found safe and well.

Thanks be to God.

I have to go there.

Where is she?

Leila and Marlene are interviewing her now,

so it will be a wee while before you can see her.

[Nicole] Police business is very complicated.

So many questions and forms and stuff.

Is that you finished being Joanne's appropriate adult?

[Nicole] Yes, her daddy's home.

Now, if you'll excuse me, I have a middle Eastern

stew to make, with no chickpeas.

20 things on the list.

I forgot one.

[uplifting music]

He pushed me into the van, and I didn't see him again

until he let me out this morning.

Then you ran into the forest?

I just kept going.

I would've made it all the way home,

only I fell and twisted my stupid ankle.

Thank goodness that's your only injury.

That must've been a terrifying experience.

It was.

But I knew my dad would be looking for me.

I am so proud of you, sweetheart.

[uplifting music]

[cheerful music]

They didn't have a clue who your manager was

until I told them.

Not a baldy notion.

So, you helped crack the case then?

Suppose I did.

Not that I'll get any credit for it.

Ooh, you'll get plenty of credit off me, Mrs. Devine.

[both laugh]

[Barry] So, this is the famous stew from Oman.

Yes, it's called majboos.

Majboos.

Bon Appetite.

Any chance of seconds?

A wee bit more?

Where's Leila?

Writing up the report at the station.

Listen, it's not often I admit when I'm wrong.

Whoa, hold the front page.

What about?

You and Leila.

Look, like I told you, Marlene, we split up.

Yeah but, I see how you are with each other and,

you never looked at Siobhan the way you look at her.

The timing's not right.

With the kids.

They aren't kids anymore, Finn.

You have no idea what Leila did for you today.

[cheerful music continues]

[Niamh] Yeah, okay.

See you later, egg face.

Was that Shay?

Well it sounded like him, but whoever it was said

he'd been worried about me.

Nanny!

I am so happy to see you safe and well, love.

All my prayers have been answered.

I have someone here to see you.

I am so sorry, Niamh.

Can you ever forgive me?

Of course I forgive you.

[Joanne] I was so stupid.

I didn't realise why he was letting me go on and on

about my mum.

You can talk to me about her as much as you like.

You know that, don't you?

[uplifting music]

[buzzer sounds]

[Finn] Hey.

Hey.

I was about to raise a glass to you and you'd gone.

There's no need.

I was only doing my job.

Marlene told me what you did.

Today was the longest day of my life.

I was absolutely terrified that I might lose Niamh.

You take a big risk and you brought her back.

I couldn't bear to see you in pain.

You were there for me, 100%.

Siobhan and I, we're always gonna be family no matter what.

[emotional music]

But there's nothing between us anymore.

You're the one I want to be with.

[music intensifies]

[cheerful music]

You must be relieved today ended so well?

There were moments I thought I was gonna go mad,

but Finn got me through it.

He was incredible.

I remembered today why I fell in love with him.

I really think we can make this work.

He wants us to be a family again.

[melancholic music]

[suspenseful music]

[music continues]

[music fades out]
