The SPOILER friendly The Missing thread

[FayeFruitLoop]

For those who want to read & share the spoiler theories

If you don't... Pee off

[FayeFruitLoop]

Oh ok. Could it just be her running to attend scene, or try chase killer if it was Laurence?

[FayeFruitLoop]

Screenshot be great

[TheMissing2014]

The person in doorway is running away when baptists shouts something French

[AuntieStella]

All the women are skinny and athletic, so I wouldn't rule out Sylvie, or either Sara or Celia Baptiste.

[TheMissing2014]

Is it me or does Laurence look handcuffed in the episode 8 trailor ?

[FayeFruitLoop]

Can you post a link to it?

[FayeFruitLoop]

I watched the clip on bbc site but Laurence isn't in it...

[MagzFarquarson]

Isn't she just holding her gun?

[MagzFarquarson]

And ...Who is that struggling with the police at the end of the clip?

Looks like he's got a beard.

Suri? or Tony? Could be restraining Tony from going to attack perpetrator (Shifty Mark imho)

[FayeFruitLoop]

It does look like Laurence is handcuffed but the police behind her also have their hands in same position so I think they're just holding guns

Do you think all the shots in that trailer are all the things we've seen that are relevant to Ollie missing? We've had so much information only snippets of it can actually be truly relevant.

[Indianashopgirl]

Looks like a door in the hotel. Not a hotel room. It's like the door is significant. Maybe Ollie was kept there all along? Which would implicate Alain & Sylvie.

[MagzFarquarson]

AuntieStella from the main thread - I did find a person wearing the same shoes as man on basement stairs (won't say who) but cannot fit that person to any of my pet theories. It is possible it's just a common shoe (black espadrille type with thin white sole).

Tony was wearing shoes like that when he broke into VB's apartment. Could the blood on the token be his from when he cut his hand? What did he do with the cloth from VB's apartment he used to wrap round the cut?

The token was found during the 're-canvas' by Ziane - might not have been dropped on the same night Olleh went missing.

[Indianashopgirl]

Oh don't! I keep going over the Tony theory.... But it can't be can it? I can quite easily see how he could arrange for a kidnap situation/ child custody etc... But not the harrowing search for 8 years letting it ruin your life etc.
unless the arrangement went wrong?

I've put my money on Georges now and already I'm wavering.

[MagzFarquarson]

Yes, agreed - don't really think it's Tony, just trying to make a scenario for each person. Only one I can't see doing it is Emily.

Alain is a bit too obvious - although he was at that bar, all dishevelled, in present day ep01. But how come Juuuuulien didn't spot him, when MNPD did? ! (I didn't btw, only after a sharp-eyed mnetter, sorry can't remember who, pointed it out).

[AuntieStella]

As this is the spoiler friendly thread, yes it was Tony I saw in the same shoes.

And he did go out alone in the small hours of the night Ollie disappeared, but I don't know how long he was unaccounted for. But him being in the basement does not fit any of my pet theories.

[AuntieStella]

I just turned on the telly to watch the news, and caught the end of the trailer for tonight.

They are hunting suspects (I think Laurence is holding a handgun in the woods) then there's a shot of someone being dragged in an urban setting. So if they are Ollie suspects (not the rounding up of the Caid), they are people who are still alive. It doesn't rule out Alain being involved, but if he's dead (not clear if he is or not, wasn't he seen in the bar in 2014 when Julien met Tony) then he wasn't acting alone.

[MagzFarquarson]

Look at tonight's trailer, at 0.3/0.4 seconds. Tony says 'Look at the boy in the background' , points to boy wearing scarf.

But if you look in the background of the bar, you see Alain!

Coincidence or cryptic clue?

Note to self: Get.A.Life

[FallonColby]

magz I rewatched episode 1 last week and Ziane was wearing a pair of converse type shoes (navy with a white trim around the sole) on the night Ollie went missing so it could be him or Tony, though the zip up top/ hoodie looked more like the type Ziane wears.

[AuntieStella]

From what you could see of the face in the balaclava, I thought basement man was most likely to be either Leon or Costel Costa (Romanian throat slashing gang member, who is listed in IMDb as being in ep8).

[MagzFarquarson]

Re man in mask, EauLittleRouge posted a screenshot on thread 2:


EauLittleRougeofBethlehem Wed 03-Dec-14 08:38:03, followed by another one of who she thought it looked like, the throat slasher.

Very convincing, I'd say. So I'm now ruling Tony out!

[FallonColby]

AuntieStella, it could well be Costa too, I think he might have been wearing a zip up hoodie in the cafe.

[FallonColby]

Just had a look on William Hill, the leading culprits are Alain followed by Mark according to the bookies. I will be annoyed if it is Alain as I thought the sobriety medal was the cheesiest most convoluted piece of writing in an otherwise excellent show.

[BeyondTheTreelights]

It was me who posted the pic of alain in the bar. Cant take the credit though, i saw the link on digital spy
