00:00 I see you Alice.
00:01 What you're talking about is kidnapping.
00:04 She's my little girl.
00:05 She can't be.
00:07 You were chosen.
00:08 So you're out, do you understand?
00:10 It's me. I'm your mum.
00:12 I want you gone tonight!
00:14 And you can go and spread your little eyes around. We'll see who believes you.
00:18 That's what they always say.
00:20 See who believes you.
00:22 Watch out!
00:25 Please! This is not me!
00:29 But what she's alleged, it doesn't look good for you.
00:32 It was you who got into the safe. He was telling the truth.
00:35 I think you should leave.
00:36 She came to say goodbye.
00:37 That's my daughter!
00:38 Alice, no!
00:41 She doesn't need you anymore.
00:43 It's just us now.

01:38 [Grunts]
01:39 [Grunts]
01:40 You understand that you're being released on bail pending further investigation.
01:50 You must present yourself for questioning as and when required.
01:54 Do not go near Sean Gregson.
01:58 We'll have our eye on you, Mr. Haymes.
02:04 Quiet.
02:05 [♪♪♪]
02:08 [♪♪♪]
02:11 [♪♪♪]
02:13 [♪♪♪]
02:31 [♪♪♪]
02:33 Do you think we should go back?
02:45 Go back?
02:46 Why?
02:48 For Mom, she might be.
02:52 Who?
02:53 For Jessica.
02:59 You can't spend your life worrying about people who don't care about you.
03:02 For sake.

03:20 [Coughs]
03:21 That's it.
03:25 Get it all out.
03:28 You all done?
03:29 Yeah, sorry.
03:30 No, don't be sorry.
03:31 The guests haven't gone yet.
03:34 Somewhere really special.
03:37 Just you and me.

04:27 Alice!
04:31 Alice!
04:33 Oh, pick up the phone, please.
04:41 It's Alice. Leave a message.
04:44 Alice, it's Mummy.
04:47 Where are you, baby? I'm not angry with you.
04:49 Please just call me back. You're not safe with her.
04:52 You bring back my daughter, or I swear to God I will...
05:01 Hey, don't worry. Don't worry. I'm not... I'm not...
05:09 She's gone, Alice.
05:11 Sian's taken her. She's taken our daughter.
05:13 What?
05:15 [♪♪♪]
05:17 [♪♪♪]
05:46 [Beep]
05:47 Alice, it's Mummy.
05:49 Where are you, baby? I'm not angry with you.
05:51 Please just call me back. You're not safe...
05:53 Have some of that. Make you feel better.
06:00 I need to pee.
06:02 Well, you can go in the bush down the road.
06:04 No.
06:05 Oh.
06:07 No, do you, do you, huh?
06:08 There's a bathroom down the back.
06:11 All right, well, be quick. We're on a schedule.
06:15 [♪♪♪]
06:17 They tried to tell me.
06:32 I should have listened.
06:35 It's not your fault, love.
06:37 Now she's taken Alice from us.
06:39 We have to go to the police.
06:43 What?
06:44 Look, they're not going to believe a word I say.
06:47 You've got that in common.
06:50 Your phone. Give me your phone.
06:58 When we got Alice, I phoned.
07:00 We said she could only have it so long as we always knew where she was.
07:03 [♪♪♪]
07:06 [♪♪♪]
07:09 [♪♪♪]
07:11 [♪♪♪]
07:13 [♪♪♪]
07:17 [♪♪♪]
07:21 [♪♪♪]
07:33 [♪♪♪]
07:41 [♪♪♪]
07:43 Alice, it's Mummy.
07:57 Where are you, baby? I'm not angry with you.
07:59 Please just call me back. You're not safe with her.
08:02 [♪♪♪]
08:07 [♪♪♪]
08:09 There you are.
08:14 What are you doing?
08:17 Nothing.
08:20 I told you, we can't bring our phones.
08:29 I know, I...
08:31 Do you want to go back there? Because we can turn round now if that's what you want.
08:37 Alice, I know you don't want to hurt anyone.
08:49 And it's because you're a caring person and you don't understand that some people are just out for themselves.
08:54 They're going to come after us.
08:57 We've been driving for miles. Where is she?
08:59 We're close.
09:01 You're getting away. It's the best thing that could have ever happened to them.
09:06 Look, I...
09:12 I didn't want to tell you this, but...
09:14 when I first came to the house, Jessica confided in me.
09:18 I think she trusted me, so she admitted to some things that she hadn't said before.
09:24 What?
09:28 Stick and blaster.
09:30 Stick and blaster.
09:33 That's what you said you were.
09:37 I mean, what do you get the woman who's got everything?
09:40 A baby?
09:42 A nake, I mean.
09:44 I think it's just a sickness with some men.
09:47 I think they can take whatever they want and then get rid of it when they're done.
09:51 But you never have to feel that way again, Alice.
09:56 I promise.
09:58 It's going to be okay.
10:00 Okay, it's up ahead.
10:06 Okay.
10:08 I think you should wait here. If she's with Sean, you can get a rest just for being near her.
10:22 Oh, fuck that.
10:25 It's ringing.
10:30 I'll call the police.
10:49 I'll call the police.
10:51 Yeah.
10:54 Nearly there.

11:48 [Music]
11:52 And you believe Alice is with Miss Gregson?
12:02 No, we don't believe it. We know it.
12:04 Yes, they've become close.
12:07 When a teenager runs away, particularly if there's been tension...
12:12 No, I'm sorry. Are you deaf?
12:15 Mr. Haynes, you're under caution.
12:17 Nick.
12:19 Has it occurred to you that Alice has tried to remove herself from a situation where she felt unsafe?
12:27 The first concern for all of us is the welfare of your child.
12:32 Yes, and we agree, but I'm telling you, she locked me in a cupboard and then she took our daughter.
12:40 Mr. Haynes, could you show my colleague Alice's room?
12:45 After you, sir.
12:48 This isn't going to help find her.
12:59 Mrs. Haynes, if there's something you don't feel safe saying in front of your husband...
13:09 Just believe us.
13:11 She's in danger.

14:07 [Music]
14:11 It's just the same as it was.
14:14 What is this place?
14:23 It's home. Yours and mine.
14:26 Come on. I'll show you.
14:35 We'll escalate this to a missing young person case. Send Alice's photo out.
14:40 And that's it?
14:43 If she does make contact with either one of you, notify us immediately. We'll see ourselves out.
14:49 You're useless.
14:55 This is all our fault. We lost her.
14:58 No, no, no. We'll find her.
15:00 No, I mean, she could be anywhere by now.
15:02 Come here.
15:05 What is it?
15:12 Who gives Derent as a reference?
15:20 She'll know we're coming.
15:30 [Music]
15:34 [Music]
15:39 [Music]
15:43 Are we the only ones here?
15:46 Why isn't there anyone else here?
15:51 Because it's off-season. You should see the place in the summer, though. It's heaving.
15:55 There's a disco at the clubhouse every night. It's so crap, it's kind of great.
16:00 You have to watch out for the boys, though.
16:03 And, beside the sea. I mean, it's beautiful.
16:08 Sharon, we can't stay here.
16:13 All right. It's not the Amalfi Coast. I mean, we didn't all grow up with money, you know.
16:23 I think... I think I want to go back.
16:26 We've talked about this. They don't want you back.
16:31 But, you know, if we explain, they can't stop us from seeing each other.
16:39 Sharon, I think I want to go home.
16:42 Alice, this is home.
16:46 I want you to start calling me mum, OK?
16:51 See that?
16:53 That's where you were born.
16:56 And now you've come back.
16:59 You've come back.
17:01 Here we are.
17:22 Home.
17:25 Right.
17:27 Sian.
17:37 Sian.
17:40 Mum?
17:47 Where's the baby?
17:53 Born here.
17:55 I'll make us a tea, shall I?
17:59 Ah, well, I guess we're going to have to use our imagination.
18:06 That's something else you got from me.
18:09 Come on.
18:12 Let's chat.
18:14 I know you need to understand.
18:16 I know you need to understand.
18:18 ...preferring locations with access to water.
18:32 Cemeterys, gardens and parks have allowed it to spread into urban areas, including central London.
18:39 The tourney hole is mainly...
18:41 [KNOCKING]
18:43 Hello?
18:46 Is there anybody there?
18:48 She's here. I've just seen her. Oi!
18:52 We need to talk to you. Please open the door.
18:56 It's about your niece. We think she has our daughter.
18:59 Hello? Hello?
19:04 Please, we just want to speak to you.
19:08 I can't help you.
19:11 Where are they?
19:12 You'll leave me out of it!
19:13 No, no. I just want to see if...
19:14 No!
19:15 Please, just let... Alice! Alice!
19:17 Alice!
19:21 There's nobody here.
19:25 Look, we don't want to get her into trouble. We just want our little girl back.
19:39 If you know anything, please.
19:41 No one will help us.
19:44 Sian may have done a few things in her life, but the only person she ever hurt was herself.
19:52 Seems like a lifetime ago now.
20:02 I used to come here with Auntie Faiz in the summer. Mum was always...
20:11 Well, she was always busy.
20:14 Started going with some lads.
20:18 I was young. I liked the attention and they seemed to like me.
20:23 Then I got pregnant.
20:29 When Mum found out, she said she was ashamed of me.
20:35 Can you believe that? She was ashamed of me.
20:41 I could never be ashamed of you, Alice.
20:44 I always wanted you.
20:47 Even now, after all this time, I can still feel you here.
20:54 That never goes away.
20:58 Never goes away.
21:00 That Sian... and her baby.
21:20 The whole time I was pregnant...
21:27 ...and Mum wouldn't look at me.
21:29 So it was Auntie Faiz that took me to the hospital, but I knew what they were going to do.
21:34 I knew they were going to take you away from me.
21:36 So I came here.
21:39 So you'd be safe.
21:42 And I did it all by myself.
21:47 I brought you into this world all by myself.
21:54 And it didn't hurt.
21:57 It was beautiful.
22:00 You were crying.
22:04 And then you weren't.
22:09 Why aren't you crying? Alice?
22:18 Why aren't you crying?
22:22 Why aren't you crying?
22:24 There was a couple who wanted to take the child.
22:30 Good people in the church.
22:34 Should have had a good upbringing.
22:37 And there'd have been other chances.
22:39 Sian wouldn't listen.
22:43 The baby died the morning she was born.
22:48 The 7th of September, 2007.
22:53 That's... that's Alice's birthday.
22:56 She hired this crook to find the birthday of the adopted babies with the same name.
23:02 What are you telling us?
23:05 I mean, are you saying that... that she thinks Alice is her baby?
23:09 Please.
23:12 She can't help it.
23:17 I mean, if she did, she'd have to face it.
23:21 Where is this?
23:26 They tried to make me believe that you were dead.
23:32 But I knew you weren't.
23:35 You see, that's what they do.
23:37 They try and make you believe like you're the one who's crazy.
23:42 Who do?
23:43 Everybody.
23:44 They all wanted me to be like my mum, but I'd never be like her.
23:48 I'd never let go of my baby.
23:51 You believe that, don't you, Alice?
23:55 I know.
23:58 Can we go outside?
24:05 Why?
24:10 You said you'd show me the sea.
24:13 Okay.
24:17 She won't hurt her. Not if she thinks Alice is her baby.
24:39 That woman is insane, Jess.
24:41 Yeah, but she's not violent. You heard what her aunt said.
24:43 I saw her smash her own head in.
24:45 Who knows what she might do if Alice doesn't play along with her.
24:49 [WATER SPLASHING]
25:18 It's beautiful, isn't it?
25:20 It's like the ends of the earth.
25:22 Do you remember it?
25:32 I brought you here.
25:35 I wanted it to be the first thing you saw when you came into the world, but...
25:43 ...within your eyes, you were so... sleepy.
25:47 It's okay. You're here now.
25:51 This view's the reason I fell in love with painting.
25:57 I'd come here and close my eyes, and then I'd see pictures in my head.
26:03 And then I'd make them real.
26:08 I've always been able to do that.
26:13 It's what I did all those years you were away from me.
26:16 Come here.
26:20 Listen to the water.
26:22 And look out at all that blue going on forever and ever and ever.
26:27 And I'll see you there.
26:34 Waiting for me.
26:41 That's the only thing that's stopped me from...
26:43 Alice?
26:49 Alice?
26:54 Alice!
26:58 Alice, where are you?
27:05 Alice?
27:08 Alice!
27:09 Can you hear me?
27:11 Alice?
27:20 Alice!
27:22 Come here!
27:24 Stop!
27:26 Stop hiding from me, Alice!
27:46 Alice!
27:51 Alice!
27:53 Alice!
28:01 Alice!
28:12 Alice!
28:15 Alice!
28:17 Alice!
28:20 Alice!
28:22 Alice!
28:51 What are you doing?
28:52 You know how scared I was.
28:54 I... I was just playing.
28:57 Playing? Come on.
28:58 No!
28:59 Please, I'm sorry. Let's just go back to the pier.
29:04 I promise I won't run away. I was just... I was just, like, pretending.
29:08 Pretending? So when the first took you away from me, you pretended then?
29:12 Do you think this is all a big joke?
29:14 I don't know why, but you wanted me...
29:16 I want you back in the caravan.
29:17 If you keep trying to play tricks on me, it's all going to go wrong again.
29:21 Do you have any idea how that felt?
29:29 Thinking I'd lost you again.
29:31 I would never run off on you.
29:33 What kind of mother would do that?
29:35 Well?
29:36 I'm sorry.
29:37 Everyone's sorry!
29:38 Sean...
29:40 I told you.
29:41 I think you're confused.
29:42 I told you to call me Mum.
29:44 I don't think I'm your baby.
29:47 Look, if you just let me go, I will be so quiet, I won't even...
29:51 Do you like music?
29:53 What?
29:55 There's... there's a tape here somewhere.
29:58 I need to find it.
29:59 Just a... I need to find it.
30:02 OK, I'll help you, Liz.
30:05 No, no, you stay there!
30:08 I'll find it. It's got to be here somewhere.
30:12 No, not in there. Never in there.
30:14 There was a song playing when you were born.
30:21 It was about a bird.
30:23 You liked it. It calmed you down.
30:26 This is it.
30:27 I'm sorry.
30:34 I'm sorry.
30:38 Oh, I'm sorry.
30:41 I'm sorry.
30:42 I'm sorry, I didn't mean to scare you.
30:45 It's OK.
30:48 It's OK.
30:50 It's alright. It's OK.
30:53 I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
30:56 [Humming]
30:59 [Humming]
31:28 We should call the police, let them know where we are.
31:31 Oh, God, there's no connection. It's just us.
31:34 Er...
31:36 Right, I'll go this way. You go that way.
31:40 OK.
31:41 Jess.
31:43 [Humming]
31:46 Alice!
32:05 [Humming]
32:10 [Humming]
32:13 They fly away, but then they come back again.
32:37 [Humming]
32:40 You must think your mum is a right mess.
32:46 I don't think that.
32:52 I'll make us some food.
32:57 I hope you don't mind roughing it.
32:59 There's a chippy here. It's open in the summer.
33:04 Best chippy in England, therefore the world.
33:07 We'll go there when it opens. I used to go there all the time.
33:10 Auntie Faye thought that was the reason I was getting fat.
33:14 Can you believe that?
33:17 Alice!
33:20 Alice!
33:26 [Humming]
33:29 Give me the keys!
33:45 Please, give me the keys!
33:49 You hurt me.
33:52 Just let me go!
33:54 [Humming]
33:57 Alice!
34:18 Mum!
34:22 My keys!
34:24 Alice!
34:27 Alice!
34:32 [Humming]
34:35 [Humming]
34:38 [Humming]
34:42 [Humming]
34:45 [Humming]
34:48 [Humming]
34:51 [Humming]
34:54 Alice!
35:21 Alice, where are you?
35:23 Oh my God, I'm here.
35:27 Alice.
35:43 Alice.
35:48 Alice.
35:49 Blake?
35:51 Oh God, oh God.
36:16 Oh God.
36:17 Mum!
36:41 Mum!
36:42 The police are on their way. Where's Alice?
36:50 Is she in there? Alice!
36:53 Oh my God, Sean, what have you done?
36:59 I'm okay. Just go and get Alice. Go, go.
37:09 [Sighs]
37:11 Annie!
37:14 Mum!
37:16 I'm here!
37:19 Alice!
37:20 Alice!
37:25 Alice!
37:27 What have you done?
37:34 Oh no. No, darling, I would never hurt you. Come back from the edge.
37:38 Alice!
37:39 There you go, I've got you. I've got you. It's okay.
37:43 Alice!
37:46 Sean, she's not yours.
37:51 Oh, you know. What kind of mother are you?
37:54 You're right. I would never know that kind of pain, but I would know my own daughter anyway, and so would you.
37:59 I wish I could bring her back for you, but I can't.
38:03 See, this is what they try and do. They try and make you believe that you're the crazy one.
38:08 Alice, Alice. Come, come to me.
38:13 No!
38:15 No!
38:16 You're not going to take her away from me!
38:19 You're not darling, you're a weakling!
38:22 She's dead!
38:23 No, she's not!
38:24 You're a louse!
38:25 She's dead!
38:26 You're a louse!
38:27 You're a louse!
38:28 You're a liar!
38:30 Sean!
38:31 Sean!
38:33 Sean!
38:37 Mum, mum. Mum, I remember.
38:41 Huh?
38:42 I remember.
38:43 Do you remember?
38:47 Mum, it's alright.
38:49 I'm sorry.
38:50 I'm here now. I'm here now.
38:52 And it's going to be alright.
38:54 Do you forgive me? I'm so sorry. Do you forgive me?
38:59 I just wanted you to stop crying. I just wanted you to be happy, but I held you too close.
39:07 You were crying, and then you weren't, and I'm so sorry.
39:13 It's okay. I forgive you.
39:17 I just held her too close.
39:21 I know, it's okay.
39:23 But that's okay, isn't it?
39:25 That's okay, because that's what birds do.
39:30 If you love them enough and you never forget,
39:34 they fly away and then they come back.
39:39 Hey.
39:44 I just want to be with my baby.
39:48 Sean!
39:49 Sean!
39:51 Sean!
39:53 Sean!
39:54 Sean!
39:56 Sean!
39:58 Sean!

40:29 I had all this stuff inside me and I didn't know how to get it out.
40:39 We can feel that something's wrong, we just... we don't know what it is.
40:44 We just know that we don't... fit.

40:57 Without a body, she can't officially be declared as dead.
41:07 But we've notified next of kin.
41:09 Thank you.
41:10 Back to London?
41:13 We're considering our options.
41:17 I think it's for the best.
41:19 A fresh start.

41:24 She was useless, wasn't she?
41:37 Wasn't she?
41:39 I'll go up.

41:44 Alice.
42:07 Everything okay?
42:09 Mm-hm.
42:10 [Music]
42:12 That's beautiful.
42:15 No, I mean it.
42:18 You're an artist.
42:21 She wasn't all bad. Sean.
42:34 She must have been so lonely.
42:38 I know, sweetheart, I know.
42:40 But you don't ever have to feel that way.

43:08 I'll get it, Mom.
43:10 Alice, who is it?
