0:00:03 > 0:00:04Mummy!
0:00:05 > 0:00:06Mummy!
0:00:06 > 0:00:07Mummy!
0:00:08 > 0:00:10Mummy! Mummy!
0:00:10 > 0:00:12Mummy!
0:00:12 > 0:00:14Yes? Where's Daddy?
0:00:14 > 0:00:16- He's gone.- What happened?
0:00:16 > 0:00:18I don't know.
0:00:49 > 0:00:50Oh!
0:00:50 > 0:00:51Danny!
0:00:51 > 0:00:52I saw your car pulling in.
0:00:52 > 0:00:55Are you trying to give yourself a heart attack, or me?
0:00:55 > 0:00:58New regime...two miles a day.
0:00:58 > 0:01:02You need your head examined and a cup of tea! One of those I can do.
0:01:02 > 0:01:04OK, you're on!
0:01:04 > 0:01:06I'll get the tea later.
0:01:09 > 0:01:11Good grief, it's Jimmy Saville!
0:01:13 > 0:01:16- Tea, thank you, Jason. - Herbal, or...?
0:01:16 > 0:01:20- Like builder's, two sugars, as it 'appens! - There's nothing for you there.
0:01:20 > 0:01:24Reported this morning, a woman whose husband disappeared from the park on Downs Way.
0:01:24 > 0:01:30- One minute he's by the swings with his daughter and the next minute, gone!- Alien abduction!
0:01:30 > 0:01:34- I like it!- The daughter's eight years old. She must be terrified.
0:01:34 > 0:01:35Right, come on, Jason.
0:01:38 > 0:01:42MJ, the clinic got back to me. This is the address they have for Ellen.
0:01:42 > 0:01:46- Right.- It's not far from here. I could buzz round there, check it out.- No.
0:01:46 > 0:01:48It's a bit out of the blue.
0:01:48 > 0:01:52It has been a few years, MJ. It's more than certain she's moved on.
0:01:54 > 0:01:56All right. See if anyone can remember.
0:01:56 > 0:02:01Hey, are you free tonight, dinner after the show, my shout?
0:02:01 > 0:02:03Mmm... missus out, is she?
0:02:03 > 0:02:09- Well, you know what she's like... she doesn't go for exotic cuisine. - Exotic! You're on, mate!
0:02:11 > 0:02:13An address for Ellen.
0:02:13 > 0:02:15You're getting close.
0:02:15 > 0:02:20Too close. It's making MJ nervous. Maybe I should have listened to her and let the whole thing go.
0:02:20 > 0:02:23It's not easy for her. It runs pretty deep.
0:02:23 > 0:02:27But she's relying on you more than you think.
0:02:27 > 0:02:29Maybe just let her set the pace.
0:02:29 > 0:02:32Yeah, I will, thanks.
0:02:32 > 0:02:35Right, last one down the greasy spoon's a girl!
0:02:36 > 0:02:41It's totally out of character. He'd never leave Jess at the park and just drive off.
0:02:41 > 0:02:43Did he take anything... money, passport?
0:02:43 > 0:02:46No, I've checked our bank account online. It hasn't been touched.
0:02:46 > 0:02:49And he didn't say anything, give any hints something was wrong?
0:02:49 > 0:02:54Jess saw something when he disappeared. A man chasing Paul.
0:02:54 > 0:02:58- No, Mum. Dad was chasing him!- OK.
0:02:58 > 0:03:00So what did he look like?
0:03:00 > 0:03:04- I don't know, just a man. - You go and play.
0:03:04 > 0:03:06Thanks, Jess.
0:03:08 > 0:03:12- Do you have any idea who it might be?- Paul's a divorce solicitor.
0:03:12 > 0:03:16One of his clients lost custody of his kids, and blamed Paul.
0:03:16 > 0:03:20- What did he do?- Rang the house a few times, threatening and abusive.
0:03:20 > 0:03:23- He was drunk, of course. - Was it just phone calls?
0:03:23 > 0:03:27Paul saw someone a few nights ago watching the house.
0:03:27 > 0:03:30It was too dark to tell if it was him.
0:03:31 > 0:03:35I'd like to check your phone accounts, see where the calls are coming from.
0:03:35 > 0:03:38- I need your permission to do that. - Of course.
0:03:40 > 0:03:42Look, Paul and I, we're very happy.
0:03:42 > 0:03:47We've a holiday booked, in Mexico, the three of us. He wouldn't...
0:03:47 > 0:03:49Something's wrong, I know it.
0:03:53 > 0:03:55Welcome back.
0:03:56 > 0:04:01- Been anywhere nice?- No, unless your idea of nice is a student kitchen!
0:04:01 > 0:04:06- Ellen's place?- Not been for years. - I'm guessing the students didn't have a forwarding address?
0:04:06 > 0:04:09Better, much better.
0:04:09 > 0:04:11Wonderful things, fridge magnets.
0:04:11 > 0:04:13You found Ellen's mobile number?
0:04:13 > 0:04:16- Have you ever thought of joining the police?- I'm over-qualified!
0:04:16 > 0:04:21- Be careful with this. - It's all right. I've written it down. - No, I meant with MJ.
0:04:21 > 0:04:24She can't make contact till we've spoken to Ellen first.
0:04:26 > 0:04:28Is that Cassie's phone list?
0:04:28 > 0:04:33Yeah, I've been through it with her and this number matches up with the times of the abusive calls.
0:04:33 > 0:04:37- It's registered to a Gary Nayland. - Have you rung it?- No answer.
0:04:37 > 0:04:40Try the ex-wife, see if you can find out where he is.
0:04:40 > 0:04:45- Has she identified any other numbers?- Apart from this one. I'm trying to get a location for it.
0:04:45 > 0:04:47OK, let me know.
0:04:47 > 0:04:48One for you, Amy.
0:04:48 > 0:04:51A woman called Layla Gudka.
0:04:51 > 0:04:55I'm trying to find her father. She hasn't seen him for over 20 years.
0:04:55 > 0:04:57OK, I'll give her a call.
0:04:57 > 0:04:59How did you get on at the house?
0:04:59 > 0:05:04- It's like I thought... Ellen has long gone.- OK.
0:05:04 > 0:05:06Oh, but...
0:05:06 > 0:05:08she did leave this.
0:05:08 > 0:05:12It's a phone number...her mobile.
0:05:12 > 0:05:14- Have you tried it?- No.
0:05:22 > 0:05:25Thanks, Amy. Good work.
0:05:29 > 0:05:32- What are you doing? - What was I supposed to do?
0:05:32 > 0:05:34She shouldn't have that number.
0:05:34 > 0:05:40- It's Ellen decision whether she wants contact.- Well, go on, then. Go and get it back.
0:05:40 > 0:05:42Yes, you see it's not so easy, is it?
0:05:42 > 0:05:47- She won't ring it. - Of course she won't. She knows the protocol but than anyone.
0:06:05 > 0:06:09Hello, Mrs Nayland? My name is DC Doyle, I'm with the Dover Missing Persons Unit.
0:06:09 > 0:06:13We're trying to locate your ex-husband. He seems to have gone off the radar.
0:06:15 > 0:06:17Right, I see.
0:06:18 > 0:06:19Did he?
0:06:20 > 0:06:23OK. Well, thanks a lot.
0:06:23 > 0:06:25Sorry to disturb you.
0:06:25 > 0:06:30- Go on.- Ibiza, with his new tart, trying to kid himself he's still 21!
0:06:33 > 0:06:36Hello. Can I help at all?
0:06:36 > 0:06:38I'm looking for Amy Garnett.
0:06:38 > 0:06:42Hi, you must be Layla? I'm Amy. If you'd like to take a seat.
0:06:49 > 0:06:53So, when did you last see your father?
0:06:53 > 0:06:56- I lost contact with my parents when I was 17.- Did they move away?
0:06:56 > 0:06:58No, I left home.
0:06:58 > 0:07:02- I wanted to go to university, but my father opposed it.- Can I ask why?
0:07:02 > 0:07:06He's very traditional. Doesn't think us women should use our brains.
0:07:06 > 0:07:09And how did your mother feel about that?
0:07:09 > 0:07:12- She was very traditional, too.- Was?
0:07:12 > 0:07:14She died ten years ago.
0:07:14 > 0:07:17Oh, I'm sorry.
0:07:17 > 0:07:21- Please go on. - I was offered a place at Edinburgh.
0:07:22 > 0:07:28- The day before term started I packed my bags, told my dad I was going and left.- That must have made him angry.
0:07:28 > 0:07:29I've no idea.
0:07:29 > 0:07:31I never spoke to him again.
0:07:31 > 0:07:33So why now, Layla?
0:07:33 > 0:07:37I work for a large charity, been based in Geneva for years.
0:07:37 > 0:07:41I've been posted back here again so I thought now is the time to get in touch.
0:07:41 > 0:07:44- So you've been trying to find him? - For weeks.
0:07:44 > 0:07:48I've tried everything you can think of, but it's like he never existed.
0:07:48 > 0:07:50Well, don't worry, we'll find him.
0:07:50 > 0:07:52I hope so.
0:08:09 > 0:08:11- Nayland's in Ibiza.- Who?
0:08:11 > 0:08:13Gary Nayland.
0:08:13 > 0:08:14I just had a chat with his ex.
0:08:14 > 0:08:17He's out the country, so it can't have been him that Jess saw.
0:08:17 > 0:08:22- Well, we've only got the ex's word for that.- Believe me, she's not giving him an alibi!
0:08:22 > 0:08:25What about that unidentified number? Have you got a trace on that yet?
0:08:25 > 0:08:29Yeah, it's a payphone at a bail hostel in Medway Street.
0:08:29 > 0:08:32- Bail hostel? - It could be another ex-client.
0:08:32 > 0:08:36The Probation Service are sending me a list of residents. Whoever it was only spoke for 18 seconds.
0:08:36 > 0:08:40- And Paul's car, has that shown up, yet?- No, still no sign of it.
0:08:42 > 0:08:46- Are you all right? - Yes, fine, thank you.
0:08:46 > 0:08:49I'll be in touch as soon as I've done the basic searches.
0:08:49 > 0:08:51If you would.
0:08:53 > 0:08:56She's a right little charmer, isn't she?!
0:08:56 > 0:08:58Yeah. I bet her dad can't wait to see her again!
0:08:58 > 0:09:02Sarge, how many Garrisons do you reckon there are in Dover?
0:09:02 > 0:09:06- Not many, why? - The bail hostel have just sent me over a list of residents.
0:09:06 > 0:09:10Room six, Jamie Garrison, released from Strangeways last Wednesday.
0:09:10 > 0:09:13Let's see if Cassie knows anything.
0:09:13 > 0:09:15Jamie? Jamie is in Dover?
0:09:15 > 0:09:21He's Paul's brother. He called your house last week. Paul didn't mention it?
0:09:21 > 0:09:26- No, no, he didn't.- And you don't think they'd been in touch at all before that?
0:09:26 > 0:09:29No way. They didn't get on.
0:09:29 > 0:09:30Why now?
0:09:30 > 0:09:33Jamie has just been released from prison.
0:09:33 > 0:09:35What? What for? What did he do?
0:09:35 > 0:09:37Handling counterfeit goods.
0:09:39 > 0:09:41When was the last time Paul saw him?
0:09:41 > 0:09:45June the 8th, 2000... the day Paul and I got married.
0:09:45 > 0:09:47Right.
0:09:47 > 0:09:49He had a problem with that, did he?
0:09:49 > 0:09:52He was always jealous...
0:09:52 > 0:09:58of Paul's career, success, happiness, and then the big church wedding.
0:09:58 > 0:09:59What did he do?
0:09:59 > 0:10:04He turned up drunk, shouting at Paul, sneering at his cosy life.
0:10:04 > 0:10:09It was just so awful. Jamie always liked to think of himself as a bit of rebel.
0:10:09 > 0:10:13- I suppose he was looking for a fight.- And he got one, did he?
0:10:13 > 0:10:18- Yes.- And that was the last time they saw each other?- Yes.
0:10:18 > 0:10:23He's agreed to come in and talk to us, so hopefully we'll know more soon.
0:10:28 > 0:10:32- Cheer up!- I've done all the basic searches and drawn a blank.
0:10:32 > 0:10:36- No mention of Layla's father anywhere.- Have you tried the Register Of Deaths?
0:10:36 > 0:10:40He's not there, either. The house was rented and it's changed hands three times since.
0:10:40 > 0:10:44- The trail is nearly as cold as she is.- Jason seems to think she's nice!
0:10:44 > 0:10:49- Yeah, and did he have drool dribbling down his chin at the time? - Mmm, can't help himself!
0:10:49 > 0:10:53- Did you find out where Layla's father worked?- The Council, I think.
0:10:53 > 0:10:57Bureaucrats! I love bureaucrats! They keep records of everything.
0:10:57 > 0:11:02- I bet they've got a file as thick as that with his name on. - It's worth a try.
0:11:02 > 0:11:03Sarge.
0:11:04 > 0:11:06Oh, Mr Garrison.
0:11:06 > 0:11:08Can I get you a coffee?
0:11:08 > 0:11:10Yeah, nice one. Got any croissants?
0:11:14 > 0:11:16- Handbags.- Counterfeit were they?
0:11:16 > 0:11:22Well, I didn't know they were dodgy but you try telling a magistrate that. They gave me a year.
0:11:22 > 0:11:26- And what did you do, six months? - Yeah, good behaviour.
0:11:26 > 0:11:29And you came back to Dover, when, last week?
0:11:29 > 0:11:30They put me in that hostel.
0:11:30 > 0:11:32I've got to get out of there.
0:11:32 > 0:11:34It's worse than prison.
0:11:34 > 0:11:36And that's why you phoned your brother?
0:11:39 > 0:11:41I haven't seen him for years.
0:11:41 > 0:11:44We've all grown up a bit now.
0:11:44 > 0:11:46I thought it was time to,
0:11:46 > 0:11:49you know, extend the hand of friendship.
0:11:49 > 0:11:52- And how did that go down? - Just like the phone.
0:11:53 > 0:11:57You can't be surprised, not after the wedding?
0:11:57 > 0:12:01- You been talking to Cassie?- Of course.- What else did she tell you?
0:12:01 > 0:12:06She told us that she last saw Paul on the Sunday afternoon when he took Jess to the park.
0:12:06 > 0:12:08- Did you see him that day?- No.
0:12:08 > 0:12:11If you want an alibi, ask anyone at the hostel.
0:12:11 > 0:12:16- Reliable witnesses, are they? - They've done their time, like me.
0:12:16 > 0:12:18Well, thanks for coming in, Jamie.
0:12:18 > 0:12:22Sorry about the croissants. I'll get someone to show you out.
0:12:22 > 0:12:25If you see Cassie and Jess, give them my best.
0:12:32 > 0:12:36- Now just say if any of these men look like the man you saw, OK?- Yeah.
0:12:39 > 0:12:41Mum...
0:12:41 > 0:12:43I think, I think it was him.
0:12:43 > 0:12:46- Sweetheart, you go upstairs. - DOORBELL RINGS
0:12:46 > 0:12:52- Do you want me to go? - What's going on? What did Jamie say when you spoke to him? Where's Paul?
0:12:52 > 0:12:54You can't stop me!
0:12:54 > 0:12:57- Jamie!- I came to see if you are OK.
0:12:57 > 0:13:00Jamie, what the hell is going on? Where's Paul?
0:13:00 > 0:13:02Have you told them everything, Cass?
0:13:04 > 0:13:06You haven't, have you?
0:13:06 > 0:13:07My little girl saw you.
0:13:07 > 0:13:09What have you done to him?
0:13:09 > 0:13:15Do you know what's happened, Jamie, or do you want to do this in front of your Probation Officer?
0:13:15 > 0:13:18He attacked me, Cass. Do you know why?
0:13:18 > 0:13:21- Because I told him about us.- Stop it!
0:13:21 > 0:13:22No...
0:13:22 > 0:13:24I think we may want to hear this.
0:13:24 > 0:13:30- Yeah, Cassie. These people need to know about you seeing me behind Paul's back.- Cassie?
0:13:30 > 0:13:32Eight years ago...
0:13:32 > 0:13:34eight years.
0:13:34 > 0:13:38- Hang on. How old is Jess now? - Jamie, come on...no.- Don't worry.
0:13:38 > 0:13:41Paul knows. I told him.
0:13:43 > 0:13:47Why don't we have another little chat down at the station, Jamie?
0:13:51 > 0:13:54Is it true, you were sleeping with Paul's brother?
0:13:55 > 0:13:56You should have told us.
0:13:59 > 0:14:01He knows.
0:14:02 > 0:14:04Paul knows about Jess.
0:14:04 > 0:14:06Sunday it was.
0:14:06 > 0:14:09He was in the park, at the swings.
0:14:09 > 0:14:14- Sees me in the distance, comes running up to me.- What happened?
0:14:14 > 0:14:16He was livid.
0:14:16 > 0:14:19Drags me away so Jess can't see.
0:14:19 > 0:14:22Tells me he doesn't want me anywhere near him or his family.
0:14:22 > 0:14:25You did sleep with his fiancee, Jamie.
0:14:25 > 0:14:27Yeah, that's what I told him.
0:14:27 > 0:14:30- Why did you do that?- Someone had to.
0:14:30 > 0:14:35- Cassie obviously wasn't going to. - Were you that jealous of his life?
0:14:35 > 0:14:37His life was built on a lie.
0:14:37 > 0:14:43- That little girl that he was trying to protect from me is my own daughter!- Then what happened?
0:14:43 > 0:14:45He went mad, lashed out at me.
0:14:45 > 0:14:47You look all right to me.
0:14:47 > 0:14:49I've been in prison, OK.
0:14:49 > 0:14:51Someone is coming at you, you react.
0:14:51 > 0:14:53What did you do?
0:14:53 > 0:14:55- I hit him and he fell.- Then what?
0:14:57 > 0:15:00- Jamie!- I ran.
0:15:00 > 0:15:03Come on, I'm on probation. It doesn't look good, does it?
0:15:03 > 0:15:06- So you've no idea where he went after?- None...
0:15:06 > 0:15:09I swear to God.
0:15:09 > 0:15:12We'll contact the hostel if we need to speak to you again.
0:15:14 > 0:15:19Paul didn't just happen to see you in the park did he, Jamie?
0:15:19 > 0:15:22Why were you really there?
0:15:22 > 0:15:24She's my daughter.
0:15:24 > 0:15:26I just...
0:15:26 > 0:15:29I wanted to get a look at her, that's all.
0:15:33 > 0:15:36Find anything useful on Layla's father?
0:15:36 > 0:15:38Layla's dad was the life and soul of the office.
0:15:38 > 0:15:43He organised the family party at work and the annual summer outing for the kids.
0:15:43 > 0:15:45Very sweet, but not very helpful.
0:15:45 > 0:15:48Ah, no, but this is.
0:15:48 > 0:15:52He names his wife Chandra as beneficiary in his pension.
0:15:52 > 0:15:55- Why wouldn't he? - Because it's dated 2002.
0:15:55 > 0:15:59- Layla told me she died in 1999. - Do you think it might be fraud?
0:15:59 > 0:16:02It might explain why he's so hard to track down.
0:16:02 > 0:16:05Run it past Layla.
0:16:05 > 0:16:10- Maybe she hasn't told you everything about her father. Right, see you in the morning.- Night.
0:16:12 > 0:16:17- Sarge?- Before you ask, I'm already spoken for. Danny's buying me dinner.
0:16:17 > 0:16:19No...it wasn't that.
0:16:23 > 0:16:26The phone number for Ellen.
0:16:26 > 0:16:29- What about it?- You called it, didn't you?
0:16:29 > 0:16:32- It was off. I didn't leave a message. - If she'd answered it...
0:16:34 > 0:16:36Imagine if it was me.
0:16:36 > 0:16:38You wouldn't have let it go.
0:16:38 > 0:16:40Thank you for your concern, DC Doyle.
0:16:46 > 0:16:49SHE DIALS PHONE
0:16:54 > 0:16:56Ellen, it's...
0:16:56 > 0:16:58Hurry up! I'm starving!
0:17:07 > 0:17:14I'm sure it is good for me, but macrobiotic vegan is not my idea of an exotic cuisine, that's all.
0:17:14 > 0:17:17Does amazing things for your digestive tract.
0:17:17 > 0:17:20Too much information!
0:17:20 > 0:17:24So Amy actually found Ellen's mobile number?
0:17:24 > 0:17:27- I wish she hadn't!- Well, why not?
0:17:27 > 0:17:29You've come this far.
0:17:29 > 0:17:32Maybe I've come far enough.
0:17:32 > 0:17:34From now on it gets complicated.
0:17:34 > 0:17:37It's already complicated, MJ.
0:17:37 > 0:17:41Once you realised there was a chance of finding her, you knew you'd have to see it through.
0:17:41 > 0:17:43Jason's right.
0:17:43 > 0:17:49- I can't use the number, anyway. It's against everything I believe in. - That's just an excuse.
0:17:49 > 0:17:53Your team deal with this stuff every day. Use them.
0:17:53 > 0:17:55Let them treat you the same as every other case.
0:17:55 > 0:17:58But I'm not the same as every other case.
0:17:58 > 0:18:00I know you'll do the right thing.
0:18:04 > 0:18:08- Macrobiotic vegan! - SHE TUTS
0:18:13 > 0:18:15SIREN
0:18:20 > 0:18:25I'm sorry... I shouldn't have taken Ellen's phone number.
0:18:25 > 0:18:27It's OK.
0:18:27 > 0:18:29It's just hard to stand back.
0:18:29 > 0:18:36- Why don't you just carry on and let me know what turns up?- Are you sure?
0:18:36 > 0:18:39- Yeah...- It's just that I'm running out of options, MJ.
0:18:39 > 0:18:43All I can do is get onto Ellen's phone service provider and find out who she has been in contact with.
0:18:43 > 0:18:45If that's what you'd normally do next.
0:18:45 > 0:18:50It isn't... not without the person's consent, unless it was life or death.
0:18:50 > 0:18:53Ellen has a history of drug abuse. She could...
0:18:53 > 0:18:55Sorry.
0:18:55 > 0:18:56Just do what you think is best, OK?
0:18:58 > 0:19:00It's Paul Garrison. He's been to the school and taken Jess.
0:19:00 > 0:19:03Get straight over there. Get times, witnesses, the lot.
0:19:03 > 0:19:07Amy, try and get number plate recognition for Paul's car in that area.
0:19:11 > 0:19:14- Are you all right? - Yeah...just discussing the case.
0:19:15 > 0:19:18Traffic, please. This is Missing Persons.
0:19:18 > 0:19:19I'm sorry, is this a bad moment?
0:19:24 > 0:19:27So my mum was named as beneficiary in Dad's pension plan?
0:19:27 > 0:19:31- OK.- In 2002...
0:19:31 > 0:19:36- seven years ago. She had to have been alive at the time.- Yes.
0:19:36 > 0:19:39- Layla, you told me your mother died ten years ago.- Did I say that?
0:19:41 > 0:19:42Well, I've been out of the country.
0:19:42 > 0:19:46I mean, I suppose if it says it here it must have been.
0:19:46 > 0:19:49So how did you know she had passed away...
0:19:49 > 0:19:51if you'd had no contact?
0:19:54 > 0:19:56I'm sorry. I have to go.
0:19:56 > 0:19:58Layla!
0:19:58 > 0:20:01Layla, wait!
0:20:02 > 0:20:05- Cassie...- He took her! He just walked into the school and took her.
0:20:05 > 0:20:10It's all right. We've got people at the school and every available officer is out looking for the car.
0:20:10 > 0:20:13It was an hour ago. They could be anywhere by now.
0:20:13 > 0:20:15I'm sorry, I've got to ask you this.
0:20:15 > 0:20:17Has Paul ever harmed Jess?
0:20:17 > 0:20:18No.
0:20:18 > 0:20:24- But now that he knows she's not his, what's he going to do?- Maybe he thinks he's going to lose her.
0:20:24 > 0:20:27- But he's not! - KNOCK AT DOOR It's Jason,
0:20:27 > 0:20:32- he's at the school. Jess has returned.- Is she OK?- Yeah, she's fine.- Jason...
0:20:32 > 0:20:34any sign of Paul?
0:20:36 > 0:20:39OK. Bring Jess here.
0:20:46 > 0:20:49- We went to the cafe and had ice cream. It was brilliant.- And was your dad all right?
0:20:49 > 0:20:52- I think so.- What did he say, sweetheart?
0:20:52 > 0:20:56Just he was really sorry for leaving me at the park.
0:20:56 > 0:20:59He took masses of photos on his phone.
0:20:59 > 0:21:02He said he loves me loads and loads and gave me a big hug.
0:21:02 > 0:21:04MOBILE RINGS
0:21:04 > 0:21:06I'd better...
0:21:08 > 0:21:11Did your dad say anything about where he was going, Jess?
0:21:11 > 0:21:13Going? Is he going somewhere?
0:21:18 > 0:21:20That was Paul's law firm.
0:21:20 > 0:21:22He's just resigned.
0:21:27 > 0:21:31Layla shed any light on her dad's pension scam?
0:21:31 > 0:21:32It's not a scam. Layla's lying.
0:21:32 > 0:21:35- Are you sure?- She told me her mother died ten years ago.
0:21:35 > 0:21:39I checked, and her death is not registered... but guess where I did find her?
0:21:39 > 0:21:40Surprise me.
0:21:40 > 0:21:42Right here on our system.
0:21:42 > 0:21:45She reported a missing person back in 1992...
0:21:45 > 0:21:48her daughter, Layla.
0:21:48 > 0:21:49You're kidding me!
0:21:49 > 0:21:53Two missing persons looking for each other. That's a first.
0:21:53 > 0:21:57I don't know what to do, cos Layla has been lying to us about her mother.
0:21:57 > 0:22:00- Is she on the run?- If she was, we're the last place she'd come to.
0:22:00 > 0:22:04Don't say anything to her. Try and locate the mother first.
0:22:04 > 0:22:08She's got a right to know her daughter is alive and well.
0:22:08 > 0:22:11Cassie has agreed to go on Danny's show.
0:22:11 > 0:22:13- What's Paul up to? - Clearing the decks...
0:22:13 > 0:22:17one thing at a time. Leaving his job, saying goodbye to Jess.
0:22:17 > 0:22:20And what's his last move, suicide?
0:22:20 > 0:22:25It's possible, that's why we've got to try and find him first, before he does anything stupid.
0:22:25 > 0:22:26I still reckon he's high risk.
0:22:26 > 0:22:30- Let's hope he doesn't involve the kid again!- He's a missing person, Jason.
0:22:30 > 0:22:32It's our job to find him.
0:22:32 > 0:22:35We don't judge, ever.
0:22:37 > 0:22:39You rang, m'lady?
0:22:40 > 0:22:43All right...maybe sometimes we do.
0:22:43 > 0:22:44Come on.
0:22:51 > 0:22:54Hypothetical question...
0:22:54 > 0:22:58- My favourite kind. - You've hit a dead end and all you've got is a phone number.
0:22:58 > 0:23:03- Is this?- Hypothetical, I said.- OK. Well, get onto the phone company. Get the numbers they called.
0:23:03 > 0:23:06But they're not in any immediate danger that you know of.
0:23:06 > 0:23:10Aaah... that kind of hypothetical question...
0:23:10 > 0:23:14- should I tell the phone company a little white lie?- What would you do?
0:23:14 > 0:23:16An amoral pig like me?
0:23:16 > 0:23:19I'd do it in a flash, but you're not me, are you, Amy,
0:23:19 > 0:23:20and I don't think you want to be.
0:23:31 > 0:23:33Hello, Customer Relations?
0:23:33 > 0:23:37I'm ringing from Dover Police regarding a mobile number of a missing person.
0:23:37 > 0:23:39Her name is Ellen Croft.
0:23:39 > 0:23:43That's a great story... adultery, violence, child abduction.
0:23:43 > 0:23:45It ticks all my listeners' boxes!
0:23:45 > 0:23:48You can't go into any of that... just the live appeal.
0:23:48 > 0:23:50- Is she up for it?- Yeah.
0:23:50 > 0:23:52Thinks it's a great idea.
0:23:52 > 0:23:56- Apparently Paul listens to your show.- Fantastic!
0:23:56 > 0:23:57My first missing listener!
0:23:57 > 0:24:00She says he throws things at the radio.
0:24:00 > 0:24:04- Aah...well, at least it's a reaction. - KNOCK AT DOOR
0:24:04 > 0:24:06No trace on Layla's mother.
0:24:06 > 0:24:10Her last registered address is the one Layla gave us, but those cuttings might help.
0:24:10 > 0:24:14A journalist on the local paper took up the story, ran a series of articles -
0:24:14 > 0:24:18mother still searching for the daughter she'll never see grow up, that sort of thing.
0:24:18 > 0:24:20Let's have a look.
0:24:22 > 0:24:25Oh, yeah, Stella Stiles.
0:24:25 > 0:24:29- Do you know her?- She was a bit of a legend on The Courier.
0:24:29 > 0:24:33She had a steamy affair with a junior reporter.
0:24:33 > 0:24:37And would this junior reporter still happen to have her phone number?
0:24:39 > 0:24:40I'll see what I can do.
0:24:49 > 0:24:54I've been joined in the studio by Cassie Garrison whose husband, Paul, has been reported missing...
0:24:54 > 0:24:56- How's Jess? - Paul was last seen on Sunday...
0:24:56 > 0:25:00Asleep at my sister's. She thinks all of this is a great adventure.
0:25:00 > 0:25:01His car registration...
0:25:01 > 0:25:04He was punishing me for what happened with Jamie.
0:25:04 > 0:25:09Cass, if Paul is listening, what would you like to say to him?
0:25:09 > 0:25:13Paul, please, please come back to us.
0:25:13 > 0:25:19I know some terrible things have happened, but if we could just talk.
0:25:19 > 0:25:24We love you, Paul. We miss you.
0:25:24 > 0:25:27Stay safe, keep warm,
0:25:27 > 0:25:28come home.
0:25:30 > 0:25:32Paul Garrison.
0:25:32 > 0:25:37If anybody thinks they know where Paul is tonight, get in contact on the usual number.
0:25:42 > 0:25:49I appreciate that you are trying to help, but I do not want police resources to be wasted on me.
0:25:49 > 0:25:51All I ask is that you make sure
0:25:51 > 0:25:53Cassie gets my wedding ring.
0:25:53 > 0:25:55With thanks, Paul Garrison.
0:25:55 > 0:25:57Well, at least he's polite!
0:25:57 > 0:25:59- Is that it?- Yep.
0:25:59 > 0:26:03Dropped it off at the radio station last night. Danny gave me this for you.
0:26:03 > 0:26:07Apparently he had to buy Stella Stiles a couple of pints of Chardonnay to get that!
0:26:07 > 0:26:10I'm sure he coped!
0:26:10 > 0:26:13"Confined to a nursing home and suffering from Parkinson's Disease,
0:26:13 > 0:26:16"Chandra Gudka fears she may never see her long-lost daughter again."
0:26:16 > 0:26:18Any mention of her father?
0:26:18 > 0:26:23- None that I can see. Oh, but they do have an address for the home, here.- OK, get onto them.
0:26:23 > 0:26:25See if she is still there.
0:26:25 > 0:26:29I'd better get this back to Cassie. This is really going to make her day(!)
0:26:31 > 0:26:33CAR ALARM BEEPS
0:26:47 > 0:26:48Morning!
0:26:48 > 0:26:51- OK, it's not what it seems.- No?
0:26:51 > 0:26:54Why should it be? Nothing else is around here.
0:26:54 > 0:26:56I've just checked our bank account online.
0:26:56 > 0:26:59Paul has taken some money out, ten minutes ago. He's in Westbourne.
0:27:01 > 0:27:04Westbourne, it's only a few minutes from here. On my way.
0:27:08 > 0:27:15- What do you expect me to think, Cassie?- He came round last night to talk, to explain.
0:27:15 > 0:27:17I'm not a fool, DS Croft.
0:27:17 > 0:27:20- And where's Jess? - She's still at my sister's.
0:27:20 > 0:27:23And did he say anything worth hearing?
0:27:23 > 0:27:27He told me he got in touch with Paul last year when he needed a solicitor.
0:27:27 > 0:27:33Paul has friends, contacts that could have helped him, kept him out of prison, but Paul refused.
0:27:33 > 0:27:37- And Paul didn't tell you any of that?- Of course not.
0:27:37 > 0:27:39Come on, he must have felt pretty guilty.
0:27:39 > 0:27:42MOBILE RINGS
0:27:42 > 0:27:44Jason?
0:27:44 > 0:27:46I've found his car.
0:27:46 > 0:27:50- No sign of Paul. - OK, stay close, keep out of sight, don't scare him off.
0:27:50 > 0:27:54- CAR ALARM BLEEPS - Might be too late for that. ..Paul Garrison?
0:27:54 > 0:27:58DC Doyle, Dover Missing Persons Unit... Paul!
0:27:58 > 0:28:00I just wanna talk, mate.
0:28:02 > 0:28:04He ran off.
0:28:12 > 0:28:14BLEEPS
0:28:17 > 0:28:19Sarge, I've got his satnav.
0:28:19 > 0:28:23The last two journeys were to and from a place called Sandford.
0:28:23 > 0:28:28- Sandford...does that mean anything to you?- St Mary's Church, it's where we got married.
0:28:28 > 0:28:32..Jason, get straight over there. You want St Mary's Church.
0:28:36 > 0:28:40Your mother's alive. She's in a nursing home.
0:28:40 > 0:28:42I spoke to them this morning.
0:28:42 > 0:28:44Do they have any information on my father?
0:28:44 > 0:28:47No, but they...
0:28:47 > 0:28:50I'm sorry, but you thought your mum was dead!
0:28:50 > 0:28:54- Don't you care that she isn't? - This isn't about her.
0:28:54 > 0:28:55She reported you missing.
0:28:55 > 0:28:58She spent years searching for you, so did this unit.
0:28:58 > 0:29:00I just want to know where my father is.
0:29:00 > 0:29:03- Well, fine. The best thing I can do is talk to her.- No! Don't.
0:29:03 > 0:29:07Layla, I have to! This is still an open file.
0:29:07 > 0:29:10I have a duty to inform her that you've been found.
0:29:10 > 0:29:15- I don't want her to know where I am. - Fine. Then I won't breathe a word.
0:29:20 > 0:29:22He's in the church.
0:29:22 > 0:29:24All right. Wait here.
0:29:39 > 0:29:41Paul?
0:29:42 > 0:29:46Paul, I am DS Croft,
0:29:46 > 0:29:49Missing Persons Unit.
0:29:49 > 0:29:51I told you not to waste your time.
0:29:53 > 0:29:55I'm only doing my job.
0:29:57 > 0:30:00Cassie, no!
0:30:00 > 0:30:04- Let me talk to him!- No! It has to be his decision.
0:30:05 > 0:30:08'Lovely, isn't it?'
0:30:08 > 0:30:09So peaceful.
0:30:14 > 0:30:16I know what you're doing, Paul.
0:30:18 > 0:30:20Quitting your job,
0:30:20 > 0:30:24giving your wedding ring back. It's easy...
0:30:24 > 0:30:27getting everything sorted out like that...
0:30:29 > 0:30:31but taking that last step...
0:30:33 > 0:30:34that's the hard bit.
0:30:34 > 0:30:39I've made my decision. I don't want to see Cassie again.
0:30:39 > 0:30:41Cassie, no!
0:30:43 > 0:30:46Paul!
0:30:46 > 0:30:49- Cassie, outside.- Paul, please...
0:30:49 > 0:30:53Is it true about Jess? Is she Jamie's?
0:30:54 > 0:30:55Yes.
0:30:58 > 0:31:02It was right here, do you remember? You made your vows.
0:31:04 > 0:31:07What was going through your mind, Cassie?
0:31:07 > 0:31:09That I loved you. That I'd made the right choice.
0:31:09 > 0:31:13- I didn't even know there was a choice to make.- I was young, Paul.
0:31:13 > 0:31:15All that angry rebel stuff,
0:31:15 > 0:31:20it was sexy and you were always working, always studying.
0:31:20 > 0:31:23Qualifying, it's called.
0:31:23 > 0:31:28I was getting married. I wanted to give my family a stable future.
0:31:28 > 0:31:30I've only got myself to blame, then.
0:31:30 > 0:31:32I chose you.
0:31:32 > 0:31:34You won.
0:31:34 > 0:31:36I won?
0:31:36 > 0:31:40I won? Jess isn't even my daughter and you think I won!
0:31:40 > 0:31:44- Why do you think I didn't tell you? - Oh, gee, let me think.
0:31:44 > 0:31:46- Because you were ashamed?- I was...
0:31:46 > 0:31:48I still am.
0:31:48 > 0:31:51- I wanted to tell you. - So why didn't you?
0:31:51 > 0:31:53Because it would have destroyed us.
0:31:53 > 0:31:57- It's destroying us now.- But we love each other more than that.- Do we?
0:31:59 > 0:32:02You were sleeping with him, what, right up to the wedding?
0:32:03 > 0:32:05Was it?
0:32:05 > 0:32:09- Yes.- No wonder he turned up drunk, shooting his mouth off.
0:32:09 > 0:32:11It was our wedding! That's how much you loved me!
0:32:11 > 0:32:15Jamie wasn't love, Paul.
0:32:15 > 0:32:19I was a stupid, young girl wanting everything in the sweet shop,
0:32:19 > 0:32:21but I never loved him.
0:32:21 > 0:32:23I only ever felt like that about you.
0:32:23 > 0:32:26Maybe you should give him a second chance.
0:32:26 > 0:32:28You might be able to love him this time.
0:32:28 > 0:32:30He might even be a brilliant dad.
0:32:30 > 0:32:32Oh, please don't.
0:32:32 > 0:32:36- Let Jess have a relationship with her real father.- No!
0:32:36 > 0:32:39I'm sorry, Cass, I can't do it. I love you...
0:32:39 > 0:32:40but I can't.
0:32:42 > 0:32:44Paul!
0:32:45 > 0:32:47You're ready are you, Paul?
0:32:47 > 0:32:49To take that last step?
0:32:49 > 0:32:53To never see your daughter again?
0:32:53 > 0:32:54She's not my daughter.
0:32:55 > 0:32:58No?
0:32:58 > 0:33:00Who does she think her father is?
0:33:00 > 0:33:02Have you asked yourself that?
0:33:09 > 0:33:13You walk out that door now, you'll feel great.
0:33:14 > 0:33:17Everyone betrayed you but you've walked away
0:33:17 > 0:33:19with your head held high.
0:33:20 > 0:33:24But tomorrow, when the doubts creep in...
0:33:27 > 0:33:28it's hell, Paul.
0:33:29 > 0:33:33Trust me, I know.
0:33:40 > 0:33:43I didn't have a chance to give her this.
0:33:47 > 0:33:48Jason.
0:33:55 > 0:33:57I saw your mother, Layla.
0:33:57 > 0:33:59She's very sick.
0:33:59 > 0:34:01She'd really love to see you.
0:34:01 > 0:34:03Does she have any news about my father?
0:34:05 > 0:34:07Yes, she did.
0:34:07 > 0:34:09He...
0:34:09 > 0:34:10He died.
0:34:11 > 0:34:14Four years ago, in India. I'm really, really sorry.
0:34:25 > 0:34:27SHE SOBS
0:34:28 > 0:34:31He's really dead? Are you sure?
0:34:31 > 0:34:34Erm... yes.
0:34:36 > 0:34:39What do you think is going on in there?
0:34:39 > 0:34:42Well, I can't hear the tinkling of stained glass breaking,
0:34:42 > 0:34:44so that's a good sign.
0:34:45 > 0:34:48The things you were saying about doubts creeping in...
0:34:50 > 0:34:53Did you mean Ellen?
0:34:53 > 0:34:57It's just experience talking.
0:34:57 > 0:34:58FOOTSTEPS APPROACHING
0:35:00 > 0:35:01Are you OK, Cassie?
0:35:03 > 0:35:07I'm just calling my sister, let her know it's OK to bring Jess home.
0:35:07 > 0:35:10We're going to talk.
0:35:10 > 0:35:12I'd like to see Jamie.
0:35:12 > 0:35:14You go home, and I'll bring him over.
0:35:29 > 0:35:32When my father put on these parties,
0:35:32 > 0:35:35he was happy, genuinely happy.
0:35:35 > 0:35:38It was clearly his passion.
0:35:38 > 0:35:40Oh, yes...
0:35:40 > 0:35:42But it was a clever disguise.
0:35:44 > 0:35:47The truth is, he was vicious.
0:35:47 > 0:35:50He would beat my mum for anything -
0:35:50 > 0:35:53spilt water, creased shirts...
0:35:53 > 0:35:56sometimes for nothing, just to remind her.
0:35:56 > 0:35:59- Couldn't you do anything? - If I tried, he'd beat me.
0:36:02 > 0:36:03I wasn't going to stay.
0:36:05 > 0:36:10I studied, passed my exams, all in secret.
0:36:10 > 0:36:14- He would never have let me do that. - Because it meant freedom?- Exactly.
0:36:17 > 0:36:19I only made one mistake.
0:36:20 > 0:36:22I came home
0:36:22 > 0:36:26and there he was - the letter with my exam results in one hand...
0:36:28 > 0:36:33and his belt in the other. That was the last time.
0:36:35 > 0:36:37When you first came to see us,
0:36:37 > 0:36:41you said that you'd been trying to find him. Was this true?
0:36:43 > 0:36:45I'm sorry, Amy.
0:36:45 > 0:36:47I knew you wouldn't take my case.
0:36:47 > 0:36:52I did try to go to the house but I was nearly sick in the taxi.
0:36:52 > 0:36:54So why do you want to find him?
0:36:54 > 0:36:56I'm going to be living here.
0:36:56 > 0:36:58The thought of seeing him...
0:36:58 > 0:37:01Layla, your mum really wants to see you.
0:37:01 > 0:37:04She pleaded with me.
0:37:04 > 0:37:09I pleaded with her once to leave him, come with me...
0:37:09 > 0:37:12But no. She thought it best to stay.
0:37:12 > 0:37:15She was scared! Was that really her fault?
0:37:15 > 0:37:18How can I forgive her?
0:37:18 > 0:37:22- She gave me something to give to you. - What?
0:37:23 > 0:37:25Wait here.
0:37:27 > 0:37:30I've got your probation officer's number in here.
0:37:30 > 0:37:32You get smart, he'll be here like a shot.
0:37:37 > 0:37:39Hello, Jamie.
0:37:50 > 0:37:52This is my exam certificate.
0:37:52 > 0:37:55She kept it!
0:37:55 > 0:37:56Mum kept it after all these years!
0:37:56 > 0:38:00He threw it in the bin but she must have pulled it out.
0:38:00 > 0:38:02She spent so many years trying to find you.
0:38:02 > 0:38:06She just wants to say she's sorry, that's all.
0:38:08 > 0:38:10I was wrong about you, Layla.
0:38:10 > 0:38:13- I'm sorry I lied.- I understand.
0:38:13 > 0:38:15I'm glad I stuck with you.
0:38:15 > 0:38:17So am I.
0:38:17 > 0:38:22Listen...the home she's in?
0:38:30 > 0:38:31Thank you.
0:38:35 > 0:38:39I was hoping we could, you know, start again,
0:38:39 > 0:38:41act like grown-ups.
0:38:41 > 0:38:44- Won't be easy, will it? - Course not...
0:38:44 > 0:38:46- but I apologised to Cass.- When?
0:38:46 > 0:38:51- We talked the other night.- What? - We were just talking, Paul.
0:38:51 > 0:38:54- He was here?- He just turned up. It was nothing.
0:38:54 > 0:38:58- Oh, no. Just like the old days! - Oh, come on, Paul.
0:38:58 > 0:39:02Get out! Get out of my house.
0:39:02 > 0:39:06I've spoken to a solicitor, Paul. I want access...to my daughter.
0:39:20 > 0:39:22Hi, is that the control room?
0:39:22 > 0:39:26Yeah, this is Amy Garnett, MPU. I've got a mobile number here
0:39:26 > 0:39:29with a 999 call on it and I just want to check the result.
0:39:29 > 0:39:33Did we take it, or did Fire or Ambulance?
0:39:33 > 0:39:36Did you plan this? Is that what you were chatting about?
0:39:36 > 0:39:40- No, Paul, no. I had no idea. - It's got nothing to do with Cass.
0:39:40 > 0:39:43- I decided.- Oh, you decided, did you?
0:39:43 > 0:39:46Congratulations! Is that what you meant about being grown-up?
0:39:46 > 0:39:48- How does it feel? - It feels good.
0:39:48 > 0:39:51- I'm ready.- I hope so.
0:39:51 > 0:39:54- I hope you are.- Paul, please don't!
0:39:56 > 0:39:59- Daddy!- Jess, sweetheart!
0:40:16 > 0:40:19She's beautiful... just like her mum.
0:40:19 > 0:40:24A couple of hours ago he was willing to walk away and leave her to you.
0:40:24 > 0:40:26Don't think he meant it.
0:40:26 > 0:40:28I just wanted to see her that was all.
0:40:28 > 0:40:30What did the solicitor say?
0:40:32 > 0:40:36- He said he hoped I had the stomach for a long, hard fight.- Do you?
0:40:39 > 0:40:43I'll walk back. Tell Cassie...
0:40:44 > 0:40:48No, just say I've gone... for good.
0:40:52 > 0:40:53MOBILE RINGS
0:40:53 > 0:40:55Amy?
0:40:58 > 0:41:01- I thought you'd be gone. - This was just e-mailed.
0:41:01 > 0:41:03It's a list of Ellen's phone calls.
0:41:03 > 0:41:05- And, anything interesting?- Big time!
0:41:05 > 0:41:07She phoned St Margaret's Hospital six times
0:41:07 > 0:41:11and five of them were just this week, and check out the last number.
0:41:11 > 0:41:13999.
0:41:13 > 0:41:18- That call was made an hour and a half ago.- Does MJ know about this?- I just called her.
0:41:38 > 0:41:41- What are you doing here? - So she called 999?
0:41:41 > 0:41:47- It could have been anything. - This hospital has the largest drug dependency unit in the county.
0:41:47 > 0:41:50- Let me go and find out what's happened.- No!
0:41:51 > 0:41:53- You don't understand.- I do, MJ.
0:41:53 > 0:41:58- She might say she doesn't want to see you.- You meant well, OK?
0:42:00 > 0:42:04Look, I won't go in there. I just need to think things through.
0:42:27 > 0:42:28Ellen?
