The Missing

[bobbie22]

I could not understand the last part. It did not help that I could not hear half of what the actors said. There's a hew case coming up in this series apparently. Please can anyone give me some understanding of the end?

[Samuraisan]

I suppose it just meant that Tony didn't give up, didn't believe what happened and and has slowly gone nuts.

[frugalfred]

Strange, is it not, that the Media Studies degree types think that a heavy beard means the wearer is nutty!

[bobbie22]

Thanks for the replies. Love the bit about the beard. Am watching The a Fall too. That's good in my opinion

[Samuraisan]

No frugal, I didn't judge by his beard ( although they don't do anything for me ) it was the Russian police who told the boy he'd been all over the place telling boys they were Oliver.

[Samuraisan]

Can't blame him going nuts though, I would probably too, in his situation

[frugalfred]

I wasn't getting at you, samur; just the production folk who seem to think that anyone with a heavy beard is dolally.

[Samuraisan]

Oh, ok frugal. Actually I was quite chuffed being called a media study degree type !

[chrissa1]

I just thought the beard was grown because he had been travelling and it's cold in Russia.

[frugalfred]

I'm sure your degree is much more useful, samuraisan!

[Peter Pedant]

The mad fella was really mad - and his delusion was that the Romanian had NOT killed the child but had spirited him away east

so the fella had gone around the eastern cities randomly approaching ten year olds. I thought the Russian police were treating him quite well considering ....


I havent really concentrated on the intervening six hours
who was Vincent and why did he hang himself ?

[chrissa1]

He was a paedophile, trying not to be one and when he knew he couldn't stop, he hanged himself.

[Samuraisan]

Vincent was a paedophile who couldn't rehabilitate so killed himself before he acted out his disgusting urges. ( I think )

[Samuraisan]

Ok Chrissa, we got that part right !

[chrissa1]

Snap, Samuraisan. Sort of. Lol.

[Samuraisan]

Really great acting though.

[Veebird]

So nobody thinks it offered a choice of ending? There were so many twists in it. Why was Tony in Russia? Georges had to go and blow his head off so we could be left in yet more suspense. I think it could have been Olly.

[Peter Pedant]

yeah it would be better if the russian kid looked up and said:

nah I'm not Olly mate ! as he was dragged off

[knowabit]

Ollie is dead!

[zebo]

Who was responsible for the Big Ears oicture etched in the frost? If it was the boy, then that would imply it was Oliver, or was it drawn by Tony?

[knowabit]

I reckon it was Tony, we saw him drawing it on a notebook when he was on the phone to Baptiste... he has gone mad, convinced Ollie still alive and still searching for him.
