Anyone watching Missing ?

I think he said the uncle had left him the cabin in Switzerland, BlueBelle, which was the house in the forest.

I am struggling to remember why the young policeman visited the house of the baddie in the first place. Anyone remember?

Welshwife the Press officer said he was sending her away (was it to his uncles in Switzerland) didn't he or am I dreaming that
But who is a he/she called Isla .....Mamie I m lost with that one

I got more confused than normal withthe time passing last night - the present time could only have been a few days as the policeman had yet to be missed let alone found. Who was the girl in a café in Switzerland and then in the house in the forest? She appeared to be there on her own but Sophie/Alice does not appear to be allowed out in their own. I am even more confused.com than usual!

Well said, carerof123 and morethan2. Totally agree!

There are two more episodes. Love watching it, there is so little stuff on TV that I watch. Really helps to keep the gray matter alive.

I feel the same careof123 I'm not watching anything from the same writers again. It's like wearing a woolly jumper. You don't want to take it off, but it's really irritating

I just wish it would hurry and end, i am starting to get bored with the story being dragged out, but obviously i want to know what happens!!!!

Now I'm even more confused. Isn't it the last wekk next week?

S/he keeps his/her left wrist (the one with the spider tattoo) hidden too (I am not that observant I read it on a forum).

Oh blimey, Mamie. You've just thrown another spanner in the works.

I think Alice is Ilsa (Alis?) who we are being encouraged to think is male. The girl that her mother identified as Alice in the rollercoaster picture looked quite boyish.

I think Brig Stone, the butchers wife, and the press officer were the three people involved in the kidnap I think Alice is dead and Sophie is the one whose been sent out the way to Switzerland I think the little girl is Sophies and the press officer the father but they were locked up upstairs and the little girl spoke of mummy in the basement so is there still the third girl in the basement or is she the dead burned body? I think Read ( who supposedly committed suicide) knew something and was being blackmailed by one of the three
Julian Baptise s hallucinations are making it more difficult and I m wondering if he will even survive the next two episodes
I may have that all wrong

jalima I am full of admiration for anyone that can come up with any sort of theory as to what is going on at the moment and all the flashbacks are phasing me. I am also finding it very difficult to believe how any one could get away with wandering into a care home unchallenged to carry out violence against one of the inmates, and also that Mrs Webster was able to get her hands on the personnel records she passed to Baptiste. I remain to be convinced that could happen.

Yes, I'm still loving it. But have completely given up on actually following the story. It might all become clear by the end, or at least I might 'get 'most of it.

Jalima - is your real name Miss Marple? Your theory sounds very plausible.

Of course, the little girl is Alice/Sophie's daughter. I forgot she had one.

They all look so glum, don't they? I wish the women didn't look so similar as in the early stages I couldn't work out who was who but it's a bit easier now we know more about them.

Last night's was even more confusing with yet another time zone to sort out and Baptiste's hallucinations are not helping either.

Still loving it though.

SPOILER ALERT!

It's not Mark Rylance but I see the resemblance - I wondered who he reminded me of.

Right - my theory for what it's worth.
The Army Press Liaison Officer would possibly have been too young to be in Iraq? but, through his job, has knowledge of what went on there.
Stone, the butcher's wife and the one who died (Daniel's father) all did something in Iraq and he blackmailed them, found out that Stone/dead man had kidnapped Alice and Sophie and the other German girl.
He said he would rescue them but had his own agenda.

He and Alice put the body of the German girl (who may have died from malnutrition) in the shed. Her DNA (still not sure how they got much DNA but possibly the remains weren't burnt too much) matched Sam, Alice's father, because he had had a fling with a German woman and the girl (Lena?) was the result.

Lucy is the child of Alice/Sophie - still not sure which of those two she is as she spoke some French (which Alice could have learnt from Sophie anyway).
The little girl can't be Alice because Alice will be about 23 now.
Alice/Sophie has been sent to Switzerland and the nasty soldier has the child Lucy.

Sorry, I am forgetting the names! And someone else may have a different theory.

Did anyone see it last night? I think it's starting to sort itself out a bit but it is still very confusing. I was trying to think who the abductor of Alice/Sophie reminds me of and it's Mark Rylance, he of Wolf Hall fame. Did anyone else notice? Perhaps it really is MR but the credits rolled so fast I couldn't see. Does anyone know who the little girl is? If 'Alice' is really Sophie could the little girl be Alice? Puzzled? I certainly am.

He would have been treated by the NHS if not by the Army. I wonder if it has any significance to the story
Or if it will be an unexplained loose end.

He said he would waive the fees but there wouldn't have been any fees if he had been sent to England for treatment. I just wondered what the usual process was for army personnel not injured in battle. Army plastic surgeons worked in the NHS when there wasn't any fighting but were recalled and are now dealing with people injured in Iraq and Afghanistan.

I am sure he was offered plastic surgery in Germany trisher and the surgeon said he would not have to pay for it or that he would waive his fees. Then he (Sam) told his wife that they could not afford the surgery.

He was offered plastic surgery (not sure where) and told he wouldn't have to pay, but told his wife that he would have to.

It was quite early on. I only noticed because I knew someone who was an army plastic surgeon, so it sort of stood out. Trouble with the time shifts is it makes it harder to remember things

Oh, missed that bit (I think I need to watch it twice!)
