    Turned out pretty good, this. I’d tentatively say 6 episodes not 8 would have been pretty much perfect.

    Garret or Bourg seem too obvious, but maybe they knew about it. Mum or Dad, outside possibility. Baptiste seems unlikely. The journo, he did benefit a lot from the story and is pretty ruthless. Could be the hotelier but him & his wife have been a bit peripheral to the narrative so far. Mayor? could be, although again, quite a peripheral character.

    My money’s on the English copper. He appeared to be already in France when it happened…

    Yeah he was in last night’s episode too much.

    The Mrs still reckons the English copper has a part in it.

    What – the hotel owner with the same surname as the mayor?…
    Surely not 😉

    I think it’s too obvious to be the hotel owner or her hubby – the coin is pointing directly at them.
    They wouldn’t let the cat out of the bag with a whole episode to go IMHO.
    I think there’s another twist in this yet….Brit copper for me (based on the above) 😉

    Its been good but its gone on for far too long. Could have been done in three episodes and it would have been far more engaging.

    Mayor certainly appears like he has something to hide, possible child abuse ring. British cop was involved, things went to far but he can’t say anything as he would be fingered implicated. That could be his reason for pulling out of the marriage.

    I guess though as it comes towards the end, finally, most charterers will be made to look as if it could be them. Last nights was mayor and hotel owner, plus a few others possibly as I dozed off.

    British policeman and the kid thats supposedly his son is Oliver Highes is my bet, and the mayor and the hotel owners are all in on it too.

    given that the evidence in the bag looked a lot like the female hoteliers sobriety medal my money is on her being implicated, perhaps in colusion with the guy going through hormone treatment.

    Nah. The mother saw the British policeman’s kid the day after the abduction. She thought it was Oliver from a distance as they were similar age and build, once she got up close she realised that it wasn’t her son.

    I think it’s been a good series, certainly very watchable but some way short of brilliant. Best brit TV for me this year was probably Happy Valley.

    Not as good as The Fall imo.

    Yeah but I reckon that was another kid and he is part of some kid trafficking thing

    Would have been tricky squeezing it all down to three.

    How about the they-nearly-all-did-it ending?

    The hotelier was present, but having a relapse, drunk, watching the football, didn’t see what happened, but dropped his magic coin which placed him at the scene. Bourg grabbed the boy, but moved him straight on to the Brit copper, who was the next link, and is the man in the video. Garret was the mastermind/link-to-the-paedo-ring/etc and hence paid for Bourg’s alibi to avoid getting found out. Brit copper moved the boy on to the mayor, and the boy is buried in the mayor’s cellar.

    The journo is just a scumbag.

    Detective Baptiste is just a detective.

    I’ve changed my mind. It was the English cop.

    He has switched whatever was in the evidence bag to implicate the hotel owner. The coin had no usable forensic evidence and the only two people who knew what was originally in the bag were the journalist, who he silenced with the threat of a French jail, and the ex copper that was stabbed.

    The English copper was involved with Ken Stott in researching Pete Townsend’s book. The Mayor was propped up with Uncle Ken’s money and is mixed up with Romanian people smugglers and other such naughtiness. The Mayor used his Romanian criminal contacts to have the cop killed at the railway station and the other one stabbed in jail before they could blab.

    The hotel owner makes the ideal candidate for being fitted up.

    Or, the cop with the wonky leg’s wife did it.

    It was definitely one of them.

    I think it’s the English policeman. He knew of the visit to the prison by Baptiste and and the Hughes couple. The bent French policeman was stabbed prior to their meeting.

    e knew of the visit to the prison by Baptiste

    Yes but did you not see the prisoner at the next table ear wigging on their conversation during the first visit. He must have passed the info on to someone involved.

    I don’t buy it being the English cop, for starters, whoever it was had somebody killed in a French prison. The Rumananian gangster connection has never really been explained. Who were France playing in the football that night ?

    He’d have got away with it if it hadn’t been for those pesky kids.
