ANNOUNCER: THE FOLLOWING PROGRAM CONTAINS CONTENT WHICH MAY NOT BE SUITABLE FOR ALL AUDIENCES.

VIEWER DISCRETION IS ADVISED.

KARL: KIERAN ASHTON'S STILL ALIVE.

ELISE: SO TELL ME ABOUT THIS KIERAN ASHTON.

I WAS HIS COVE FROM A CASE.

IT WAS CONTROVERSIAL.

GOOD LUCK, LAURA.

HE KNOWS IT WAS ME.

SOMETIMES IN LIFE YOU HAVE TO LIE.

HOW DO YOU TRUST SOMEONE WHO LIES TO YOU?

[CONVERSATION IN FRENCH] ELISE: KARL, IT'S ME, AND I JUST READ ADAM'S MESSAGES TO HIS GIRLFRIEND, AND I'M CONCERNED.

I DON'T THINK BECKY'S REAL.

I THINK BECKY IS TT.

I'M DRIVING THERE NOW, BUT I DON'T KNOW IF I'LL BE THERE ON TIME.

I'M SORRY.

ADAM!

ADAM!

[MUSIC FROM CELL PHONE] [RINGING] [WOMAN SINGING IN FRENCH] ♪ CLOSER TO ME, DEAR ♪ [SINGING IN FRENCH] ♪ SET ASIDE ALL FEAR ♪ [SINGING IN FRENCH] ♪ YES, YOU SHALL BE MINE ♪ ♪ TILL THE END OF TIME ♪ ARMED POLICE!

CLEAR!

MOVE IN!

CHUKS: GUYS.

[CONVERSATION BETWEEN FRENCH POLICE] KARL: CHUKS.

GPS COORDINATES.

HE'S GIVING US A LOCATION.

OK. CHUKS: VICARAGE LANE, ABOUT 10 MILES FROM HERE.

KARL: THAT'S ADAM'S, I THINK.

SOME KIND OF NEGATIVE IONS THING.

MAYBE HE'S PUT IT THERE TO SHOW US WHERE HE WAS.

YEAH.

TROUBLE IS, KIERAN WANTS US TO KNOW WHERE HE IS.

UH!

WHAT ARE YOU DOING WITH MY SON?!

[BIRDS DEPARTING] ELISE: THINK OF WHAT HE WANTS YOU TO DO, AND DO EXACTLY THE OPPOSITE.

KARL: WHY HASN'T HE LEFT US A MESSAGE?

ELISE: IT'S PART OF THE TORTURE.

KARL?

WE CAN'T LOSE FOCUS.

I USED TO WORK WITH HIM.

OK. AND WHY IS HE...

HE'S A MAN WHO LOST EVERYTHING.

ALL HIS TRUTHS STEM FROM THAT.

HIS REAL NAME IS KIERAN ASHTON.

WHY IS HE DOING THIS TO US, KARL?

I SLEPT WITH HIS WIFE.

WHEN THEY WERE LIVING IN FRANCE, SHE CAME TO ME TO TALK ABOUT HIS... DECLINE.

WE ONLY...

ANYWAY, HE KNOWS, SO NOW HE FEELS BETRAYED BY SOCIETY, BY THE POLICE... AND BY HIS FRIEND.

YEAH.

KARL.

ANDREA: OK.

HE'S TOAST.

NOT FRENCH TOAST, SADLY, BUT YOU CAN'T HAVE EVERYTHING.

THIS IS HIS LAST HURRAH.

BUT THAT'S A VERY POOR WAY OF PUTTING IT WHEN HE HAS YOUR SON AS A HOSTAGE, KARL.

KARL: YEAH.

WE WILL BE DOING EVERYTHING WE CAN.

I CAN'T STAY ON THE CASE.

OBVIOUSLY I'M TOO CLOSE TO IT NOW, SO...

I HAVE TO PUT MY TRUST IN YOU GUYS.

THAT'S IT.

ANDREA: I THINK THAT'S PROBABLY THE RIGHT THING TO DO, KARL.

YEAH.

ABSOLUTELY.

ANDREA: WE WILL KEEP YOU INFORMED OF ANY DEVELOPMENTS.

YEAH.

YEAH.

ELISE: I DON'T UNDERSTAND.

OH, SHE WAS GONNA TAKE ME OFF THE CASE ANYWAY.

HOW DO YOU KNOW?

NEVER MIND.

ANDREA: ...SMUGGLING OUT OF THE COUNTRY.

KARL: SORRY.

I JUST WANT TO SAY ONE MORE THING.

I THINK EVERYONE SHOULD KNOW THIS.

SORRY, ANDREA.

IT'S JUST, UH-- IT'S NOT RANDOM THAT HE'S, UH, PICKING ON ME AND MY FAMILY.

A FEW YEARS AGO, HE WAS, UM--I WAS LOOKING AFTER HIM ON AN UNDERCOVER OPERATION, UH, INVESTIGATING HUMAN TRAFFICKING, AND HE WAS PULLED OFF THAT CASE FOR POLITICAL REASONS THAT WERE QUESTIONABLE, TO SAY THE LEAST.

KARL-- KARL: ANYWAY, I SLEPT WITH HIS WIFE, UH, WHEN THEY WERE STILL MARRIED AND LIVING IN FRANCE UNDER A NEW IDENTITY.

AND, UH, I RECENTLY DISCOVERED THAT HE FOUND OUT ABOUT IT.

UH, I HAVEN'T SAID ANYTHING UP TO NOW OUT OF, UM...

UH--UH, EMBARRASSMENT, SO... WHAT'S EMBARRASSMENT NOW, THOUGH?

ANDREA: OK. UM, EUROPOL AND INTERPOL HAVE BEEN INFORMED.

THIS IS A STRAIGHTFORWARD MANHUNT.

KARL: HAS TT BEEN IN TOUCH WITH YOU?

I'D TELL YOU IF HE HAD.

YES, BUT NOW THAT YOU'RE NOT ON THE CASE ANYMORE, YOU MIGHT NOT WANT TO TELL ME EVERYTHING.

OH, NO.

I JUST TOLD ANDREA THAT TO GET HER OFF MY BACK.

WHY WOULDN'T I TELL YOU EVERYTHING?

WE'RE TOGETHER IN THIS, AREN'T WE?

RIGHT.

WHAT ARE YOU GONNA DO-- REPORT OUR CONVERSATIONS?

TELL THEM WHAT I'M DOING?

THAT'S NOT WHAT I SAID.

FOR ME THE MOST IMPORTANT THING IS TO FIND ADAM.

WHAT IS IT FOR YOU, ELISE?

GOLD STARS FOR DILIGENCE BEYOND THE CALL OF DUTY OR--OR WINNING YOUR BLOODY GAME WITH TT THAT YOU KEEP GOING ON ABOUT?

YOU'RE JUST TRYING TO PICK A FIGHT.

I DON'T KNOW, ELISE!

ARE YOU GONNA GIVE ME A FIGHT?

I DON'T WANT TO.

WHY DON'T YOU TELL ME HOW YOU THINK THIS BLOODY GAME OF YOURS IS GOING TO END?

YOU WANT MY HONEST BELIEF?

NO, NO.

SUGAR THE PILL AS USUAL.

I WON'T CHANGE FOR YOU EITHER.

GOOD.

I'M GLAD TO HEAR YOU HAVE A CHOICE IN THE MATTER.

DO YOU JUST WANT TO INSULT ME OR DO YOU WANT AN ANSWER TO YOUR QUESTION?

I DON'T KNOW.

I THINK TT AIMS TO KILL ADAM EVENTUALLY.

BUT HE MAY NOT IF WE GET TO HIM IN TIME.

AND I'M SORRY BECAUSE I CAN FEEL THE PAIN IT'S CAUSING YOU.

I JUST WANT TO FIND MY SON.

ADAM: WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS TO ME?

HAS EVERYTHING YOU'VE EVER KNOWN TURNED OUT TO BE WRONG?

PEOPLE THAT YOU EXPECT TO HELP YOU LET YOU DOWN.

AUTHORITIES THAT ARE SUPPOSED TO PROTECT YOU DON'T.

FRIENDS THAT YOU TRUST WITH YOUR LIFE BETRAY YOU.

WHY DON'T YOU TAKE IT UP WITH THE OMBUDSMAN FOR SELF-PITY?

YOU'VE GOT YOUR DAD'S MOUTH.

I WONDER IF YOU HAVE HIS MORALS AS WELL.

SO THIS IS JUST ABOUT SOME BEEF THAT YOU HAVE WITH KARL.

SOME TRUTH TERRORIST.

NO, YOU'RE WRONG.

NO TRUTH WAS MORE OR LESS IMPORTANT THAN ANY OF THE OTHERS.

YOU CALLED HIM KARL.

YEAH, SOMETIMES.

SO WHAT?

I HAD A SON ONCE.

I DON'T THINK I'D HAVE LIKED HIM TO CALL ME BY MY FIRST NAME.

WELL, WHAT HAPPENED TO HIM?

HE WAS IN A CAR ACCIDENT.

I WAS TALKING TO HIS MOTHER AT THE TIME.

THE PHONE REMAINED ON IN THE CAR.

I HEARD IT ALL.

THAT'S TERRIBLE.

I CAN'T IMAGINE.

I DON'T NEED TO IMAGINE.

[DOOR OPENS AND CLOSES] HELLO, DAD.

WELL, WELL.

THIS IS A RARE TREAT.

DAD: SKIM MILK, I'M AFRAID.

HOW'S THE BLOOD PRESSURE?

NOT BAD.

I HAVE TO AVOID BOOZE, SALT, AND WATCHING GIDEON OSBORNE ON THE TELLY.

DOING SOME VOLUNTEER WORK FOR THE BIRD OBSERVATORY ON SANDWICH BAY.

THAT'S GOOD.

LOTS OF MIGRANTS ARRIVING NOW-- WHITETHROATS, SWIFTS.

YOU SHOULD BRING THE KIDS DOWN.

HMM.

I'VE BEEN FOLLOWING YOUR CASE, OF COURSE.

SAW YOU ON THE TELLY ONCE.

BLOODY MADMAN.

TERRORISM'S NOT THE ANSWER.

WELL, I'M SURE HE'D HAVE BUILT A VANGUARD PARTY OF THE PROLETARIAT IF HE'D ONLY HAD THE TIME.

CAN I TAKE A LOOK AT GRANDDAD'S PISTOL?

SPANISH CIVIL WAR.

YOU SAID IT WAS FOR ME AFTER YOU DIE.

I DID, AND ADAM AFTER YOU.

I'D LIKE TO BORROW IT NOW, SHOW IT TO SOMEONE.

WHO?

A FIREARMS EXPERT, SPECIAL INTEREST IN MILITARY HISTORY.

FEBRUARY 1937.

BATTLE OF JARAMA.

HALF THE 15th BRIGADE DIED THAT DAY.

A COMRADESHIP OF HEROES.

WHO WOULD DIE FOR A CAUSE THESE DAYS?

OH, PLENTY OF PEOPLE.

JUST NOT YOUR CAUSE.

IT WAS YOURS ONCE, TOO.

DON'T REALLY HAVE THE TEMPERAMENT FOR CAUSES, DO I?

YOU CAN TELL ME.

I KNOW WE'VE HAD OUR DIFFERENCES.

BUT YOU CAN TALK TO ME.

HE'S TAKEN HIM.

HE'S TAKEN ADAM.

HE'S TAKEN HIM FROM ME, DAD.

AND WE'RE RUNNING OUT OF TIME.

EXCUSE ME.

UH, EXCUSE ME!

WHAT THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING?

GROUND ZERO.

GET OUT OF HERE.

I'M NOT INTERESTED IN HOW HE ORDERED HIS MATERIAL, AND I'M NOT INTERESTED IN YOUR USELESS CATEGORY OF ENGLISH AND FRENCH.

WELL, NO OFFENSE, LOVE, BUT I'M NOT INTERESTED IN WHETHER YOU CAN BUILD THE SISTINE CHAPEL OUT OF MATCHSTICKS.

I WARNED YOU.

UNDERSTAND?

I'LL KNOW WHAT I'M LOOKING FOR WHEN I FIND IT.

YOU'D BETTER KNOW WHAT YOU'RE DOING.

[CLICKS] [NEW TEXT MESSAGE BEEP] [FOOTSTEPS] CHUKS: WHOA.

CAREFUL THERE, SIR.

FIREARMS WILL BE HERE ANY MOMENT.

I'D MAKE MYSELF SCARCE IF I WERE YOU.

YOU'RE TAPPING MY PHONE AND MY COMPUTER.

ONLY FOLLOWING ORDERS.

SIR.

[SIRENS] ELISE, VOICE-OVER: "THE YOUTH OF TODAY."

"STEPHEN BEAUMONT."

"WHAT GOOD ARE OLD PEOPLE?"

"WORLD GONE MAD."

"MARIE VILLENEUVE."

"INEGALITE DEVANT LA LOI, QUOI C'EST LES VEUX?"

"ALAN JOUBERT."

"BENJI ROBERTSON."

"FABIEN VINCENT."

[CROWD CHEERING] BON.

[DOOR OPENS] NO.

YOU DON'T NEED TO DO THIS.

YES, I DO.

DON'T WORRY.

IT'S JUST GONNA PUT YOU TO SLEEP FOR A FEW MONTHS.

I DON'T WANT TO GO TO SLEEP.

[CRYING] SHH.

SHH.

NO, NO, NO.

NO, NO, NO, NO.

NO!

SHH.

WHEN YOU WERE BECKY, YOU WANTED ME TO GET ON WITH MY DAD AGAIN SO IT WOULD MAKE IT WORSE FOR HIM, RIGHT?

YOU DIDN'T MAKE ME LOVE MY DAD AGAIN.

I ALWAYS LOVED HIM.

HIS... HIS... KINDNESS.

[CELL PHONE BUZZING] TT: THROW AWAY YOUR USUAL MOBILE.

WHERE'S MY SON?

THROW AWAY YOUR MOBILE.

I DON'T WANT THE POLICE TO BE ABLE TO TRACK YOU.

I'LL DO ANYTHING YOU WANT TO SAVE HIM.

I'LL KILL MYSELF IF THAT'S WHAT YOU WANT, KIERAN.

[SCOFFS] GET RID OF YOUR MOBILE, OR YOU WILL NEVER HEAR FROM ME AGAIN.

[BEEP BEEP BEEP] UH!

UH!

UH!

UH!

UH!

UH!

UH!

HE WILL SEARCH FOR YOU... ENDLESSLY...

BUT YOU WILL BE GONE.

[MUMBLES] JUST A GHOST...

IN THE CLOUDS.

[MUMBLES] WHAT TIME IS IT?

MORNING.

WHY WERE YOU SLEEPING IN YOUR CAR?

UM... TO BE READY.

WE HAVE LEADS ON PLACES HE MIGHT USE.

MY HOUSE... MY HOUSE IS NEAR BORDEAUX.

THERE WERE FIG TREES IN THE GARDEN AND, UM... HIRONDELLES?

LONG TAILS.

THEY CAME BACK EACH SPRING TO MAKE THEIR NEST.

SWALLOWS.

I STAND OUTSIDE THE HOUSE.

I LOOK AT IT.

THEN I PUSH THE FRONT DOOR OPEN, AND I WALK UP THE STAIRS...

INTO EVERY ROOM...

SETTING DOWN THINGS I WANT TO REMEMBER UNTIL I GET RIGHT TO THE TOP, TO THE ATTIC WHERE WE USED TO SLEEP AS CHILDREN.

IS SHE THERE?

YOUR SISTER?

SHE'S WITH ME.

SHE... SHE SHOWS ME WHERE THINGS ARE.

[BUZZING] KIERAN: WE'RE NEARLY READY TO GO BACK TO WHERE WE BEGAN.

IT'S ALL SET.

I'LL SEND YOU TEXT MESSAGES TO GUIDE YOU ALONG.

[BEEP BEEP BEEP] I'VE GOT TO GO.

KARL.

I'VE GOT TO GO ALONE.

PLEASE DON'T GO.

LET ME GO!

WHERE ARE YOU MEETING HIM?

I CAN'T TELL YOU.

KARL!

WHERE ARE YOU MEETING HIM?

[CELL PHONE RINGING] [BEEPING] [BEEPING] [ALARM RINGING] [AIR ESCAPING] STOP.

THAT WAY.

ELISE: GET THE DOGS IN HERE!

CHUKS: HAS HE BURNED HIM?

I CAN'T SEE ANY CORPSE.

MAN ON POLICE RADIO: WE'VE GOT SOMETHING!

CHUKS: THERE'S SOMETHING IN THE MAIN HOUSE.

[METAL DOOR BANGS] CHUKS: DOWNSTAIRS!

I THINK THE DOGS HAVE GOT SOMETHING.

[DOGS BARKING] MAN: THE CORNER.

IT'S HERE.

WHERE'S MY SON?

YOU LUNATIC.

[PISTOL IS LOADED] TELL ME OR I'LL BLOW YOUR HEAD OFF.

LAST TIME WE FOUGHT, I WAS A BIT DISAPPOINTED IN YOU, KARL.

I THOUGHT I'D GIVE YOU AN ADVANTAGE.

[CLANGS] QUITE A STAGE WE'VE GOT HERE.

CCTV EVERYWHERE.

I IMAGINE WE'LL HAVE COMPANY PRETTY SOON.

WHAT HAPPENED TO YOU, KIERAN?

YOU HAPPENED TO ME.

YOU SHOULD NEVER HAVE TAKEN ME OFF THE CASE.

LET MY SON GO.

I TRUSTED YOU WITH MY LIFE.

YOU SHOULD HAVE PROTECTED ME.

I DID PROTECT YOU!

YOU'D HAVE ENDED UP DEAD.

YOU KNEW I WAS ON TO SOMETHING BIG.

TOO BIG.

THAT WAS THE PROBLEM.

[CHUCKLES] DO YOU KNOW WHAT IT WAS ALL ABOUT?

I DIDN'T THEN.

I DO NOW.

I WORKED FOR PELOTON IN THE END.

AFTER TAKING MY IDENTITY, THEY RECRUITED ME IN FRANCE.

HOW IRONIC IS THAT?

MORE SAD THAN IRONIC.

WELL, THEIR LOGIC WAS SOUND.

SOMEBODY WAS GOING TO ENSLAVE OTHER HUMANS.

WHY NOT CHOOSE, CONTROL, TAX THAT SOMEBODY?

BECAUSE THAT'S NOT WHAT WE DO.

NO.

YOU JUST DESTROY OTHER PEOPLE'S FAMILIES.

I DIDN'T DESTROY YOUR FAMILY, KIERAN.

THEY WERE TERRIFIED OF YOU.

THAT'S WHY THEY WERE DRIVING TO ENGLAND.

I HEARD HIM SCREAMING FOR ME FROM THE CAR.

HOW ARE YOU GONNA MAKE UP FOR THAT?

WELL, KILL ME, THEN.

TAKE THE GUN.

TAKE IT.

KILL ME.

LET MY SON GO.

HERE.

KILL ME.

SPARE MY SON.

PLEASE.

[RUMBLING] HERE THEY COME.

YOU DON'T HAVE LONG, KARL.

IF THEY ARREST ME, I PROMISE YOU WILL NEVER FIND OUT WHAT HAPPENED TO YOUR SON.

STOP!

[GUNSHOT] KARL: STOP!

[GUNSHOT] GOOD.

THIS IS WHERE IT ENDS, KARL.

ANDREA: WELL, WE HAD TO GET SOMEONE DOWN THERE.

YEAH.

THERE IS NO RISK TO THE VENTILATION SHAFT ITSELF.

THEY UNDERSTAND THEIR INSTRUCTIONS.

JUST A MOMENT.

OLIVIER: HE'S GOT KARL DOWN THERE?

ANDREA: YEAH.

THE ONLY PROBLEM IS THAT IT'S KARL WHO NOT ONLY IS THE ONE HOLDING A GUN, BUT NOW HE'S POINTING IT AT US.

KARL IS A POSSIBLE TARGET AS WELL NOW, AND ASHTON TIPPED OFF THE PRESS.

HE'S STAGE-MANAGING THE WHOLE THING SO EVERYBODY CAN SEE HIS GRAND FINALE.

ELISE: I HAVE TO TALK TO KARL.

TT KNOWS IT'S OVER.

HE'S GOING TO GOAD KARL INTO KILLING HIM.

THAT WILL BE HIS FINAL VICTORY.

WELL, THAT CANNOT HAPPEN.

I CANNOT ALLOW THAT TO HAPPEN.

THAT WOULD BE TANTAMOUNT TO AN EXECUTION.

OLIVIER: THEN LET'S AT LEAST DENY HIM THE PUBLICITY AND SHUT DOWN THE CCTV.

MAN ON POLICE RADIO: WE'RE READY TO MOVE.

OVER.

ANDREA: THE PRESS WILL SCREAM "COVER-UP."

HE'S GOT HIS OWN FEED ANYWAY.

CAN I GO TALK TO HIM?

Reporter: A FINAL DECLARATION FROM THE MAN KNOWN AS THE TRUTH TERRORIST IN WHICH HE ANNOUNCES THAT HIS CAMPAIGN IS AT AN END.

"MY FINAL TRUTH IS ABOUT THE BETRAYAL AND LIES THAT KEEPS US IN A PIT OF CORRUPTION."

OH, LOOK.

HERE COMES YOUR LITTLE FRIEND.

YOU CAN DROP THE GUN NOW, KARL.

SHE HASN'T ABANDONED HER COLLEAGUE AND RUN AWAY, HAS SHE?

WHERE'S ADAM?

YOU CAN DROP THE GUN.

WE FOUND ADAM.

KIERAN: SHE'S LYING.

HE WAS IN AN OLD PELOTON PROPERTY.

FABIEN VINCENT TOLD ME WHERE IT WAS.

IS HE ALL RIGHT?

YES.

HE'S GONE, KARL.

YOU'VE LOST HIM FOREVER.

ELISE: WE FOUND HIM.

AND HE'S ALL RIGHT?

YES.

WHERE IS HE, THEN?

HE'S IN THE HOSPITAL, BUT HE'S GOING TO BE OK. TELL HER TO CALL HIM.

I DON'T NEED TO.

[SIRENS] IS HE ALL RIGHT?

YES.

IS HE ALL RIGHT?

KIERAN: THERE WAS ENOUGH MORPHINE IN HIS BODY TO COLLAPSE HIS RESPIRATORY SYSTEM SEVERAL TIMES OVER.

HE SURVIVED THAT.

ARE YOU SAYING THAT BECAUSE IT'S TRUE OR BECAUSE IT'S WHAT I WANT TO HEAR?

IS MY SON ALIVE, ELISE?

YES.

IS MY SON ALIVE, ELISE?

YES.

IS MY SON ALIVE, ELISE?

IS MY SON ALIVE, ELISE?

KARL, KARL.

GIVE ME THE GUN.

THEY'LL SHOOT YOU.

KARL!

KARL: YOU--GET BACK!

STEP AWAY!

ELISE: THEY'LL SHOOT YOU.

ON YOUR KNEES!

KARL: WHY SHOULD HE LIVE?

KIERAN: DO YOU BELIEVE IN THE SANCTITY OF LIFE, KARL?

SHUT UP.

BECAUSE IF YOU DON'T, IT MAKES NO SENSE TO KEEP ALIVE THE MAN WHO TOOK YOUR SON AWAY.

ELISE: KARL.

KARL.

IT'S THE SAME THING HE'S ALWAYS DONE.

IT'S THE SAME TRICKS HE'S ALWAYS USING.

THAT'S NO TRUTH.

THAT'S JUST CHEAP LOGIC.

RIGHT.

NOW YOU REALLY DO HAVE TO CHOOSE, DON'T YOU, KARL?

NO RUNNING AWAY WITH YOUR TAIL BETWEEN YOUR LEGS.

CLOSE YOUR EYES AND SAY IT'S NONE OF YOUR RESPONSIBILITY.

THAT'S NOT HOW IT WAS.

KARL.

YOU COWARD.

ELISE: KARL.

HE WANTS YOU TO KILL HIM.

DON'T GIVE HIM WHAT HE WANTS.

OFFICER: YOUR ORDER, MA'AM.

ANDREA, DON'T DO IT.

ELISE: BE SMARTER THAN HIM.

DON'T GIVE HIM WHAT HE WANTS.

DON'T GIVE HIM WHAT HE WANTS.

KARL!

KIERAN: AAH!

AAH!

AAH!

AAH!

AAH!

AAH!

WHERE'S ADAM?

HE'S IN THE HOSPITAL.

HE WON'T HAVE SUFFERED AT ALL.

[KIERAN GROANING] KARL: "FOR SHE REMARKED TO TOM NOW "THAT NEVER BEFORE THIS SUMMER "HAD SHE DREAMED OF THE GARDEN SO OFTEN, "AND NEVER BEFORE THIS SUMMER HAD SHE BEEN ABLE TO REMEMBER "SO VIVIDLY WHAT IT HAD FELT LIKE TO BE THE LITTLE HATTY-- "TO BE LONGING FOR SOMEONE TO PLAY WITH AND FOR SOMEWHERE TO PLAY."

[KNOCK ON DOOR] [DOOR OPENS] ELISE IS HERE.

OK. KARL: THE SWALLOWS ARE BACK.

DO YOU THINK IT'S TRUE HE COULDN'T BURN HIM?

YES.

BUT I'M ALSO SURE HE WON'T SPEAK ABOUT IT.

MUTE AND BLIND.

HE WILL ONLY EVER SEE SHADOWS.

THINK HOW FAR THEY'VE COME.

ALL THE WAY FROM AFRICA.

200 MILES A DAY, APPARENTLY.

HAZARDOUS JOURNEY FOR SUCH DELICATE CREATURES.

I'M GONNA LEAVE THE POLICE.

AFTER THE TRIAL, I'M GONNA FIND SOME...

DECENT JOURNALIST AND TELL HIM ABOUT THE CASE KIERAN COULDN'T INVESTIGATE, ABOUT HOW HE LOST HIS IDENTITY, HOW HE LOST HIS SANITY, ABOUT PELOTON, EVERYTHING.

I JUST DON'T WANT THE PRESS TO TURN THIS INTO SOME KIND OF...

SEXUAL JEALOUSY STORY.

IT WAS NEVER THAT.

NO.

I'M GONNA TELL THE TRUTH.

LAURA: ELISE, ARE YOU STAYING TO EAT?

I'VE GOT TONS OF TABASCO.

NO, THANK YOU.

I JUST CAME TO SEE IF KARL WAS OK. AS YOU SEE.

BYE, THEN.

AU REVOIR.
