A Spin-Off of The Missing about onetime-detective, now private investigator Julien Baptiste (Tchéky Karyo) who is hired to investigate crime, especially missing people with the help of his wife Celia (Anastasia Hille).The first series aired in January 2019. Baptiste is embroiled in the secret life of a British expat, Edward Stratton (Tom Hollander), and the criminal underworld of an Amsterdam sex-trafficking gang, after Stratton claims that his niece has gone missing.The second series aired in summer 2021 and centres on British ambassador Emma Chambers (Fiona Shaw), whose sons are apparently abducted after her husband is shot and killed while on vacation in Hungary. Baptiste, now struggling with the death of his daughter Sara, unravels a far-reaching conspiracy involving the right wing.

Cheated Death, Died Anyway
 Baptiste / int_28c1812e
comment
Cheated Death, Died Anyway: Baptiste's daughter Sara survived her drug addiction in The Missing after Baptiste got her sent to prison. She then recuperated, only to relapse and die at the opening of Season 2. Natalie fled the Romanians who sex trafficked her to Amsterdam and fled the brothel after stealing money from them to escape the assassin they sent after her, fleeing into the water, only to get her leg tangled in a rope by the houseboat and drown anyway.

Platonic Prostitution: Stratton didn't visit sex worker Natalie for sex, but because she reminded him of his dead daughter Lucy.

Happy Ending Override
 Baptiste / int_53c5f30e
comment
Happy Ending Override: Although the ending of Season 1 was more bittersweet than happy (Natalie is dead, Baptiste wasn't able to save her sister from a Fate Worse than Death in sex trafficking, but Baptiste, Edward, and their families are all safe and the Romanian hitman is out of commission). However, Season 2 quickly undoes the "happy for Baptiste" part of that: Baptiste's daughter Sara relapses on drugs after the events of Season 1 and dies of a drug overdose, leaving her daughter orphaned and Baptiste and Celia separated and devastated.

Just Hit Him: Will opts to blast Baptiste in the face with a fire extinguisher rather than hit him with it, even though that would've incapacitated him.

Samus Is a Girl
 Baptiste / int_a18d407b
comment
Samus Is a Girl: Played straight in Season 1. Kim Vogel is a transwoman; prior to transitioning, she was the vicious, now-assumed-dead Romanian gangland boss that everybody is looking for. Inverted in Season 2. Baptiste, Emma, and Zsofia conclude that Kamilla is Gomorrah due to their reactionary right-wing views, and the use of her speech as a decoy for the terrorist attack. It's actually her husband, Martin.

Convenient Photograph: When Zsofia was talking to the Gomorrah recruit (expecting him to identify Kamilla as Gomorrah), she's lucky that she happens to show him a picture with her husband Michael in the background, who he identifies as the real Gomorrah.
