00:54What?
00:56Ah!
00:57I'll call one now
01:02Humphrey
01:03Yeah?
01:04In the past hour
01:05You've stapled yourself to a cupboard
01:07Fitted a letterbox up
01:09Pensing your mind is elsewhere
01:11Sorry?
01:13Oh, don't be sorry
01:15Just talk to me
01:19I've got your mum
01:21I've got your mum
01:21shadowing me at the station
01:22as part of her
01:23induction
01:24into the police panel
01:26But worse
01:27I've got Mr Smith pressing
01:28for who I'm going to lose
01:29and I haven't even told anyone
01:31they're under review
01:32When do you have to make your decision?
01:34End of the week
01:37Maybe honest is the best policy
01:40Just tell them what's going on
01:42It's an impossible situation
01:44They'll understand
02:00Big night was it?
02:02No
02:03Looks like it
02:06If you must know
02:07I was chatting with Agnieszka
02:09Oh!
02:11She's here now then?
02:13Online
02:14Yeah
02:15She was a bit upset
02:16She lost her job
02:17Don't tell me any more
02:19I can guess the rest
02:20Morning sir
02:22Morning
02:23Yes
02:24Morning
02:25Talking of imaginary women
02:26The fish market was buzzing this morning
02:29Someone spotted the mermaid
02:31who shipped an abbot last night
02:33Oh!
02:33Where?
02:34Geoff Simmons swears
02:36he saw her out by Tidelined Seaweed Farms
02:38Oh!
02:38I'd love to see a mermaid
02:40Just because people believe it
02:41doesn't make it true
02:43Ooh
02:44Huh?
02:47What do you think sir?
02:49Sir?
02:50Hmm?
02:51Someone's seen a mermaid?
02:52This is usually where you start getting
02:53carried away by a bit of local nonsense
02:56Yeah
02:59Is everything alright?
03:00You seem a bit stressed
03:03Oh no
03:06I've got
03:08I've got some
03:09Well I've got something to tell you all
03:14Um
03:15Yes
03:16Anne will be joining us today
03:18Morning team
03:19As part of a role in the police committee
03:21Now don't worry
03:22I want you all to carry on
03:24exactly as you would
03:25if I wasn't here
03:27And the more I know about what you actually do
03:29the more I can support it
03:31I'll need a desk
03:32Oh!
03:33We've got a spare one here
03:36Thank you Kelby
03:43Thank you
03:44That's very helpful
03:45Yes
03:45Thank you Kelby
03:47You won't even notice I'm here
03:51Might explain the DI's stress
03:53So what's on the agenda for today?
03:55Tideline farms
03:56Someone sabotaged their seaweed lines
03:58That's where they saw the mermaid
04:00Excellent
04:00Um
04:01Yes
04:01Anne
04:02Margot will show you the ropes
04:04While we
04:05We three
04:06will go and see what happened
04:08Oh
04:17Kelby is questioning the staff
04:19but
04:19before we start this investigation
04:21Can we agree
04:22that the mermaid of Shipton Abbott
04:23didn't sabotage Tideline farms?
04:26Okay
04:26Our job is to keep an open mind Sergeant
04:29It's all just
04:30old fisherman's tales
04:31silly superstition
04:32to wind the grockles up
04:35Talking of Tideline
04:36This is where they started
04:38The council was given a grant
04:40to restore these old workshops
04:42then rent them out
04:43at a reasonable rate
04:44to help new business
04:46Tidelines took off
04:47within the first couple of years
04:48so we moved to bigger premises
04:52Sabotaging a seaweed farm
04:53seems a bit extreme
04:54don't you think?
04:55I mean it's hardly controversial
04:57Depends who you ask
04:58Oh so?
05:00Some reckon it's saving the planet
05:02soaks carbon
05:03replaces plastic
05:04feeds cows
05:05others say it ruins the view
05:06kills fishing and tourism
05:09Tideline?
05:10Just want to expand
05:12grow the business
05:12create more jobs
05:13apply for it twice before
05:15both times blocked
05:16locals won't having it
05:17How big are we talking?
05:19270 acres
05:21Off limits to fishermen
05:23paddleboard swimmers
05:24the lot
05:25That's about what?
05:26200 football pitches?
05:29And one of the locals
05:30aren't happy?
05:40Used to sneak into these tunnels
05:41when we were kids
05:42a bit of music
05:44a couple of ciders
05:46no one knew we were here
05:48Is this a confession
05:49to breaking and entering?
05:55They run underneath this entire building
05:59These nets were found this morning
06:01weighed down with stones
06:02to pull the seaweed out of the sunlight
06:04If they'd succeeded
06:05we'd be facing a failed harvest
06:07That's not all
06:09I got this
06:15Stop your expansion plans
06:17or face the consequences
06:18It was shot through our office door
06:20I found it this morning
06:21Any CCTV?
06:23Private security?
06:24No
06:25Regretting that now
06:27We've got a final appeal hearing
06:29about the expansion tomorrow
06:3110am
06:31with marine management
06:33and the council
06:33I can't believe
06:34someone hates
06:35what we're doing this much
06:36I've put everything
06:38into this business
06:39Word is
06:40we might finally get approved
06:41Someone clearly
06:42doesn't want that
06:43Yes, or something
06:44Do you know of anyone
06:46in particular
06:46who's against the planned expansion?
06:48Honestly?
06:50Half the town
06:51I'm scared
06:52This isn't grumbling
06:53in some parish newsletter
06:56This is malicious
06:57It feels like there's a target
06:59on my back
07:03I'm really sorry
07:05I'm late for a meeting
07:06Will you let me know
07:06what you find?
07:07Ok
07:08Yeah
07:10Kelby
07:11Can we get this sent to the lab please?
07:13Prince if we're lucky
07:14Sir
07:14Find anything?
07:15The Tideline crew found the nets
07:17at 5.30am
07:18Last clear check
07:19was 6pm yesterday
07:21so
07:22sabotage happened overnight
07:23Alright
07:30Well now
07:33What's this?
07:36Have you seen one like this before?
07:39Let me guess
07:40You collected shells at school
07:41I collected shells at school
07:42Bet you were popular
07:50She was moving
07:51Saw her long tail
07:52Flashing electric blue
07:54Flashing electric blue
07:54and the sea sparkle
07:56Could only be one thing
07:58A mermaid
08:04How close?
08:05Right below me
08:07Popped up again well past the lines
08:09Tail
08:10Arcs
08:11Down she goes again
08:13Blink
08:15And gone
08:16And gone
08:16Just like that
08:17It's extraordinary
08:18Yeah
08:20Magic it was
08:24Well you know what folks say
08:26You have to be proper amazed
08:29I know what I saw
08:31What were you doing out so late?
08:33Night fishing not so odd
08:34Toy was right
08:35Sleeping alright
08:36On any meds
08:38Mixing
08:38Anything home brewed
08:41Did you see any other boat?
08:43Nah
08:44Just me
08:46And her
08:47The mermaid has shipped an armour
08:52You tell me
08:53What else can swim through sea sparkle
08:56And then just vanish
09:01You ever pull one of these up in your nets?
09:04Can't say I have
09:05Hard looking thing innit?
09:08Mind if I borrow one?
09:10I don't care, yourself
09:12Super
09:13You know mermaids have been spotted throughout history
09:16As long as humans have sailed
09:18On ships sailed
09:19By a load of lonely men
09:21Drinking cheap rum
09:22Which pretty much describes
09:23Geoff Simmons too
09:25Only 5% of the oceans explored, Sergeant
09:28Used to know what's out there
09:38Sea
09:40Hides all manner of strange things
09:43Please leave your message after the tone
09:46Hello, me again
09:47Could you call me back as soon as possible, please?
09:50Thanks, bye
09:57Ooh, everything alright?
09:59If I strangled a builder
10:00Do you think Humphrey would arrest me or let me go?
10:03Ooh
10:04Well I'm sure you could convince him to let you off
10:06Good to know
10:09So how'd it go with your mum?
10:10How does she take the travel news?
10:13Weirdly well
10:14It's suspiciously calm
10:17Calm's good, isn't it?
10:19You'd think, but
10:20Mum's got layers
10:21You never really know what she's thinking
10:23Even worse since the whole Archie thing
10:24Her head's all over the place
10:26Well, we're going out for a drink tonight
10:28So I'm sure she'll tell me how she feels about it
10:31She could do us a good night out
10:32It'd be good for her to have a proper laugh
10:33Couldn't we all?
10:38How can I help you?
10:39Two cappuccinos, please
10:40Thanks
10:43Coast Guard just confirmed
10:45Only Geoff's boat was near a tide line
10:48So he was the only one out there by the seaweed farm
10:50Apart from the mermaid
10:52Right, and a unicorn did my taxes
10:56Very well
10:57Let us set mythical sea creatures aside
10:59Where's our motive for damaging those lines?
11:02That's a lot of fishing grounds to lose if the expansion goes ahead
11:05So, that would suggest it has to be someone from the fishing community
11:09Mm-hmm
11:09Margot, anything back from the lab about our letter?
11:13Just about
11:14I believe no fingerprints were found
11:17Just the exclusion prints that were taken
11:19Which were Diana Cooper's
11:22People was pretty standard
11:23Same with the eight
11:25Anyone with a home computer could have done it
11:27You were listening to my phone conversation
11:29I thought you were here to observe
11:31Geoff Simmons could have dropped off the letter last night
11:33Before he went out on his boat
11:35Well, yeah, yeah, yes
11:36But then why draw attention to yourself?
11:38Well, I checked through his finances
11:39It looks like he's applying for more DEFRA fishing subsidies
11:43There, so he's got financial problems
11:47Diana Cooper's expansion threatens his patch
11:49And why the mermaid story?
11:51A misdirection
11:52It had to be him
11:54His was the only boat in the area
11:56He may have been in the vicinity
11:57But it doesn't mean he's responsible for that damage
12:01Would you say it was called again?
12:03Ah, now that
12:08Is bioluminescence
12:10Or sea sparkle
12:11It's a chemical reaction
12:16Any movement?
12:24Woah
12:24It sets it off like a flare
12:28It must have been close to the seaweed farm
12:30Because he says the mermaid appeared
12:33And vanished in it
12:35Fishing folk round here
12:36Obsessed with the mermaid of Shipton Abbott
12:38Yeah, what is that story exactly?
12:44Well, the story goes that the mermaid once fell in love with a local fisherman
12:49Until she saw that he was taking too much from her seas
12:54So...
12:55She conjured a storm
12:57And told him she'd help him back to the shore
12:59But actually
13:01Lured him onto the rocks
13:03His boat was ripped to shreds
13:06And there he met his end
13:07Some swear she's real
13:10The spirit of the deep
13:12Revenge with a tail
13:14But...
13:15The warning is implicit
13:17Disrespect the sea
13:18And face the consequences
13:20This is...
13:20This is very interesting, huh?
13:25Are we done?
13:27Now...
13:27Diana mentioned public opposition
13:29But no names
13:31Uh, sir, looks like word spread beyond the fish market
13:35Hashtag mermaid's revenge is trending online
13:38Mermaid's revenge
13:39We should find out where that originated
13:41There's something about this whole thing that doesn't quite ring true
13:44If you're looking at opposition
13:46Try Dr. Mary Rhodes
13:48She's a marine conservationist
13:49She writes to the council every week about the seaweed farms
13:52She's tireless
13:54Slightly exhausting
13:55Someone who's against the expansion
13:57And...
13:58An avid letter writer
13:59Very interesting, Anne
14:01Let's see what she has to say
14:14Good morning
14:17Oh...
14:18If you want to talk
14:19You can be of help
14:21Two hands
14:22One picker each
14:23Maud!
14:24Can you sort these people, please?
14:27Thank you
14:28Oops, I...
14:34Use your wrist
14:35Let it do the work
14:36You'll get it
14:38Thank you
14:41Have you been doing this long?
14:42Ever since my husband died last year
14:46Sid loved the sea
14:49We scattered his ashes
14:51Out near Shipton Abbot Island
14:55I don't get out much
14:58Mary and my lovely granddaughter Lacey
15:01They thought this might be good for me
15:03Mary and I
15:04Go back to the picket lounge in 84
15:06Oh...
15:08Her bark's worse than her bite
15:10So not very much
15:14Thank you
15:16Tidelines talks green
15:18But it's industrial farming
15:21I mean...
15:229,000 boys
15:23Lights on all night
15:25Their biggest mistake
15:26Was shutting out the community
15:28If they hadn't done that
15:29We might have been able to help
15:32You need to stop for a bit
15:33Sorry
15:35I have asthma
15:36Had it since I was a kid
15:38Not at all
15:42Diana
15:44You sent this note last night
15:47It's pretty threatening
15:48Yeah, pretty unequivocal
15:51We gather you like to write a letter?
15:53Yes I do
15:54But I prefer the handwritten touch
15:56Anyway, I wasn't in Shipton Abbot last night
15:58Where were you?
15:59At Hawke's Hut
16:00Up on the Newton Rock
16:03Couple of miles down the coast
16:04Some eccentric built it
16:06Said he saw mermaids from up there
16:08Maud's husband bought it years ago
16:10She lets me use it
16:11It's great
16:12Great place for monitoring the seals
16:15Anyone with you?
16:17No
16:17Just me, a flask
16:19And no phone signal
16:22Lifts
16:24Have you ever seen one of these?
16:27No
16:28It's not local though
16:29Could be tropical
16:31Maud's husband was a
16:32Shell collector
16:34Why don't we ask her
16:35Maud?
16:37Have a look at this
16:38Do you know what that is?
16:40It was found tangled in the nets
16:41That we used to sabotage the seaweed farm?
16:44No idea
16:50It's curious isn't it?
16:52Tropical shell caught in definite fishing nets
16:55Perhaps it drifted in on a current
16:58Dropped off a passing boat
16:59Oh look
17:02Old, washed up netting
17:04Just like what was used in the sabotage
17:06Hmm
17:07So our environmental warrior
17:10She clearly has a motive
17:11Access to materials
17:12And no alibi
17:14Supposedly alone in a hut
17:16Famous for mermaid sightings
17:18But how does she get out there?
17:20You know this whole mermaid legend thing
17:24Feels like someone's using it to put us off the scent
17:27Kelby?
17:28Can you request Dr. Rose council letters
17:31And compare them to Diana's please?
17:33On it sir
17:34Also, we've traced that mermaid revenge hashtag
17:38Started with a group called
17:39Stop Stealing Our Seas
17:41Last month they staged a paddle out protest
17:45Led by local surfer
17:47Elijah Moore
17:48Right, good to know
17:49Thank you Kelby
17:52Oh!
17:54Sheption Abbot police?
17:55Anne speaking
17:56How can I help?
17:57Oh, yes just a moment
17:59It's for you
18:00Hmm
18:05Anne-chan
18:08Anything I can help with?
18:10There is actually Anne
18:12The inspector wants to check our letter
18:14With some from Dr. Rose
18:16Could you get us some from the council?
18:18Absolutely, I'll give us a try
18:20We'll just go back
18:23It won't take you two minutes
18:26Oh no, come on
18:28Hello, it's Councillor Lloyd here
18:30Yes, could you put me through two council complaints?
18:34It's Angela I think
18:36What was that Nishka's last name again?
18:39Why?
18:40Don't you know?
18:42Yes, Norwid, N-O-R-W-I-D
18:46Doing a search?
18:48Just seeing as she's as pretty as you say she is
18:54All I'm getting is cats in hats on skateboards
18:59What are you talking about?
19:01Ah, that's cute
19:03A kitten in a teacup
19:05You must have typed it in wrong
19:09That's weird
19:10You're not kidding
19:11Who dresses a cat in sunglasses?
19:14No, Geoff Simmons, the fisherman
19:17His bank records show he made a purchase for custom alloys from AlloyLuke.com
19:24What's wrong with that?
19:26Have you seen this truck?
19:28It's ancient
19:29So why buy flash aluminium alloys?
19:34Unless...
19:35No
19:36Because that wouldn't
19:38But maybe he did
19:52What's wrong with that?
19:58See you next time
20:05You'll stop stealing RC's paddleboard protest certainly stir things up
20:09Look
20:09Good stunt, Elijah
20:11Got people talking
20:12You weren't a stunt
20:13People are angry
20:14They don't want tideline firearms wrecking this coastline
20:17Those are lovely
20:18Maori fishhooks keep you from getting lost at sea
20:21Found them in New Zealand
20:22Different shops
20:23Same day
20:24Kind of one of those weird life things
20:27Your latest campaign is catchy too
20:30Mermaid's Revenge
20:31Fits the local folklore
20:33Geoff Simmons swears he saw a mermaid last night
20:36Heard to say what Geoff saw
20:38But if the myth fits the moment
20:40Good campaigns ride the current
20:42Yeah, unless it stops being a myth
20:44Diana Cooper received a threat this morning
20:46We don't do threats
20:47Mermaid's Revenge sounds like a call to arms
20:50Could one of your followers have taken things too far?
20:52We're not responsible for what random people do
20:54And Diana Cooper is no saint
20:56She's trying to privatise a coastline that people depend on
20:58Yeah, but she is a person
21:01You're scared
21:07Where were you both last night?
21:09New key
21:11Surfcom
21:12Stayed at the Neptune
21:13Got back this morning
21:14Mm-hmm
21:15I stayed at McGrath
21:17Pizza and a film
21:31Okay, thanks
21:32These fins?
21:34Or?
21:35Oh, that's it
21:37Print one of those off, please
21:39These are freediving fins
21:41Freediving fins?
21:43So, maybe Geoff didn't see a mermaid
21:45He didn't
21:46He saw a freediver wearing these
21:49In the bioluminescence
21:50I suppose if the two fins were together
21:52It could look like a tail
21:54Mermaid-ish, even
21:57I must say the whole visual case
22:00Pricey is very helpful
22:02Even if it was a freediver
22:04How do you haul weighted nets offshore without a boat?
22:08Well, um
22:09Paddleboard
22:09Surfboard
22:10Not with that weight
22:12You'd flip
22:13If they were a freediver
22:14They could
22:15Dive down and pick up the stones
22:17One at a time
22:18Kelby, check Lacey and Elijah's alibi, please
22:21Maybe he freedives too
22:23Still
22:25You see, that is not the most puzzling question
22:28You see, Geoff says the mermaid was there
22:30One moment and
22:32Gone the next
22:33So
22:34If it wasn't a mermaid
22:35But a freediver posing as one
22:38How on earth did they vanish
22:40In a sea that lights up every move?
22:43Perhaps Geoff lied
22:45Blinked, or both
22:47Speaking of Geoff
22:48I saw him pocketing a fat water cash off of some bloke
22:52I followed and saw him get into a brand new truck
22:55New truck, easy cash
22:58I thought he was meant to be broke
23:00Needed extra subsidies
23:01He's being paid for something
23:02Yes, agreed
23:05Perhaps it's time we
23:07Reel in our fisherman
23:09You know, Humphrey
23:10I think I'll join you if I may
23:12Yeah
23:12I mean, being stuck around here all day rather
23:14Numbs the brain
23:15Oh, yeah
23:18Yep
23:20Let's just drop the mermaid story, shall we?
23:22Who's paying you to sabotage the seaweed lines?
23:26What?
23:26No
23:27Then how'd you afford the new truck?
23:30The coastline confirmed yours was the only boat in the area
23:35Look, I don't care what you say
23:38I know what I saw
23:40She was there
23:41And then she weren't
23:44Couldn't it have just been a diver Geoff?
23:47Wearing these?
23:47No chance
23:48No chance
23:49It were real
23:50Magic
23:54She moved like she were part of the sea
23:58Got me thinking
24:00Maybe the sea sent her
24:03A warning
24:05Like the story says
24:09What?
24:09What were you drinking?
24:16Or maybe I had a better
24:18Rum?
24:20Hmm
24:21Why do you think the mermaid was a warning Geoff?
24:24You've been taking a bit too much from the sea recently, is that it?
24:29Disrespect the sea and face the consequences
24:37Look, I lands a few sea bass now and then on the sly, who doesn't?
24:42It sells up north a good price
24:44Cash in hand
24:45Off the books
24:46Enough for a new truck
24:47Yeah
24:49I've been stretching the pennies a while now
24:52So, the late night fishing, the new truck, the cash
24:55All from poaching sea bass off the books
25:02I swear on me mum's grave
25:06I saw a mermaid
25:11And I never touched that seaweed farm neither
25:18Two oat milk lattes
25:19Thanks
25:25You still think you're the victim
25:27Don't you?
25:28No one wants this expansion
25:30You should just drop it
25:32Right, that's enough
25:33Not in here
25:44Are you okay?
25:46Do you want to sit?
25:48I'm fine
25:49Are you sure?
25:53So what happens now Geoff's admitted to poaching but not to sabotage?
25:57Well, he's still a witness to a crime
25:59His interview recording needs to be transcribed and filed
26:02Can I do anything?
26:04It might have to wait until tomorrow
26:06Margot, perhaps Anne might be able to help with some of our information grouping
26:10Oh, that sounds interesting
26:12Otherwise known as filing
26:14What time did he arrive?
26:16Happy to help
26:18From what I've seen of your filing so far
26:21It's in need of some good reorganisation
26:24And what time did he leave?
26:26So Geoff is adamant he's not our culprit
26:28But if it wasn't him then the freediver theory still holds
26:33Sure
26:33So what about Elijah?
26:35Young, confident surfer
26:37Or Lacey, both good with the paddleboard
26:40It can't be
26:42Elijah was in Newquay
26:43Hotel confirmed it, lots of witnesses
26:45And Maud said Lacey was at home watching before heaven with her
26:51My nan's obsessed
26:53Right, so that leaves Mary
26:56Oh, sir, I got her council letters and help me
27:01Listen to this one
27:02If you don't drop the expansion, I will be forced to take matters further
27:06And you may regret the consequences
27:09That sounds like a warning, Chuck
27:11The same tone, similar words
27:13Mary's got a record too
27:15A couple of charges
27:17Some arrests
27:18All protest stuff
27:19Goes back a fair way to the 80s
27:22But her asthma, she couldn't freedive
27:24And whoever it is, it still begs the question
27:26How did they get away without lighting up the sea?
27:29Maybe she really was a mermaid
27:32How is our only suspect still a mermaid?
27:42How someone can be the most infuriated and yet the most amazing person
27:48At exactly the same time is a mystery
27:52Can I be honest?
27:54Always
27:56I didn't get it
27:58When I met you both for the first time
28:00I couldn't see how you fit together
28:04No?
28:05Well, I suppose you're not alone in that
28:08Took Mum a while too
28:09But now, you're so loved up and so perfect for each other
28:14It makes me want to vomit
28:15Oh, I'm sorry we make you feel that way
28:17No, don't be, it's lovely
28:20I'm just jealous
28:22Are you?
28:23Nah, you know me, one man band or one woman band
28:27Does that still work?
28:31You know you never told me what happened with you and Archie?
28:35Didn't I?
28:36Nothing to tell
28:37It was a thing and then it wasn't
28:40Same old, same old
28:41Well something must have happened
28:44Yeah, it did
28:47Me
28:48You know opening up and letting someone in isn't as scary as it sounds
28:54You think?
28:57Did you ever talk to him about Zoe's dad?
29:02Sort of
29:04Oh I hate it when you do that
29:05Do what?
29:06Look at me like a disappointed teacher when I forgot my homework
29:15What happened to you was terrible
29:18And I've no idea how you got through it
29:22How you picked up the pieces and
29:25Not only survived but brought up Zoe the way you did to be the most amazing person that she is
29:32And I know that you loved Zoe's dad
29:36But it doesn't mean you can't be in love again
29:44The thing is he's still here
29:49He smiles at me every day
29:52The second Zoe walks into the room
29:57So whoever I'm with
29:58I end up hating them for not being him
30:03Archie never stood a chance
30:07Well I suppose the trick is
30:09Not hating Archie for what he's not
30:12But finding a way to love him for what he is
30:16What?
30:19That went quite deep there
30:20Did he pay you to say that?
30:22Of course
30:22How much?
30:23Thousands
30:24Good, because it's you around
30:26You know if you told Archie any of that
30:29He'd get it
30:32Now that's way too scary
30:33I double dare you
30:37I'll think about it
30:38If I do a dare you've got to do one too
30:40Like what?
30:42I'll think of something
30:43When you get another drink
30:45Okay now
30:50I don't know why I'm doing a dare
30:52You haven't even done yours yet
30:54No you have to go first
30:55It's the law
30:56Says who?
30:57Me
30:57And I'm a detective sergeant
30:59And what would Humphrey say?
31:01That his wife is so boring
31:04She won't go skinny dipping
31:06Take that back
31:07No you take it back
31:08I haven't got it
31:09No
31:12Well
31:14Last one to get their kit off
31:16Is the kicker
31:17What?
31:18I don't know, I don't know
31:19It just came out
31:20Ready?
31:22Ready?
31:24Well they might be my mermaids
31:27Whooo
31:42Yeah, I said that's two pencils
31:46Oh my mother
31:57You're freezing, you're freezing.
32:05Mr and I went for a swim.
32:11Not skinny, do you think, though?
32:14That's what I used to do before.
32:17Okay.
32:22Do you think I'm boring?
32:27Definitely not.
32:29Sometimes I think I am.
32:32Not just tonight, but always.
32:35Like I've flattened out.
32:41Sorry.
33:01Good news.
33:04Agnieszka is coming to visit.
33:07Visit? In person?
33:10Yeah.
33:10Thought she'd lost her job.
33:12She has.
33:13So how did she afford the flight?
33:15Tell me you didn't send money to someone you've never met.
33:19So what if I had?
33:25I've been digging online.
33:27Find anything?
33:28No.
33:28Which is worse.
33:29One social media account, no photos, just cats.
33:33And now he's sending her money.
33:37Shall I have a word?
33:39Best leave it with me.
34:02Good morning.
34:03Good morning, Anne.
34:05Morning.
34:08Anne.
34:09Have you spoken to Martha this morning?
34:13How did she seem to you?
34:15She's fine. Why?
34:17Well, she said something last night.
34:20About thinking she was boring.
34:25Then it's...
34:26It's your job
34:27to help her realise that she's not...
34:31My job.
34:32Right.
34:35Yeah.
34:36Sir, there was a bit of a crowd
34:40at the council offices this morning.
34:42Protests against Tide Light?
34:43Oh, yes. The final appeal.
34:45It should be over by now.
34:46And yet...
34:47What time is this?
34:48We are still no closer
34:50to identifying our mermaid.
34:52Free diver.
34:54Diana Cooper's missing.
34:58Diana told staff she'd be in early
35:00for the appeal.
35:01But when they turned up at nine,
35:03the office was empty.
35:05They figured she'd already gone
35:07to the council meeting,
35:08but she never showed.
35:10Well, she wouldn't miss that willingly.
35:11It's too important.
35:12I checked,
35:13and the appeal was dismissed
35:15when she didn't show up.
35:16Well, car's still here.
35:18No forced entry.
35:19No struggle.
35:21Yeah, they use key cards here.
35:23Should show her entry and exit times
35:25just waiting on the data.
35:27Hmm.
35:27She was mid-email.
35:30And didn't finish it.
35:31Why leave your phone?
35:33Either she was planning on coming back
35:35or didn't get a chance.
35:38Something interrupted her.
35:40What's that sound?
35:45Oh, got the key card log.
35:48Uh, she swiped in at 810.
35:50Out, 837.
35:54So where'd she go after that?
35:55And did she have a choice?
35:58Sir?
36:03Looks like she was a regular.
36:04Maybe she stopped there this morning.
36:07Kelby, can we get this unlocked, please?
36:09Sure.
36:13Margot.
36:14Sir, we've checked our house,
36:15friends, hospital, nothing.
36:17No sign of diner at all.
36:41That looks delightful.
36:45My fail-proof hangover remedy from Java.
36:48The raw chili is the key.
36:52Oh, a thing could be cured out of beer.
36:57Oh, October 12th.
36:59Can't wine festival talkie.
37:01Okay.
37:0317th, 18th.
37:03Might be seeing Nigel.
37:05Can you shift it?
37:07I mean, my parents are dying to meet you.
37:09Thanks, Zoe.
37:10I'll check.
37:15Paradise might be wearing thin.
37:18Oh.
37:20Oh.
37:27I'll be out back.
37:29How are you feeling?
37:32Hmm.
37:33I'm here about Diana Cooper.
37:35She's missing.
37:36Missing?
37:37She was just here, right after I opened.
37:39How was she?
37:40Hmm, stressed about her appeal.
37:42There was something yesterday.
37:44A nasty exchange with a surfer.
37:46In here.
37:47Young guy.
37:48Dark hair.
37:49Sounds like Elijah.
37:51Anything else from this morning?
37:53Even small?
37:54She was on her phone,
37:55mentioned someone...
37:57Er, Dr. Rhodes?
37:59Hounding her about the expansion.
38:02You're sure?
38:02Yeah, positive.
38:04Why?
38:05Diana was dead set on going to the appeal.
38:07Then she vanishes right before it.
38:12Things aren't always what they appear.
38:16If anything more comes up,
38:18call the station?
38:19Of course.
38:22Yep.
38:25Yep.
38:26I'm on my way.
38:38Where's Anne?
38:42Margot?
38:45No idea.
38:46Sir,
38:47a text came in at 8.33am,
38:50unknown number.
38:51If you want the truth about the sabotage,
38:53meet me at Hawke's Hut,
38:549am.
38:558.33.
38:568.33.
38:57She swiped out at 8.37.
38:59So that's where she was going.
39:01And we all know who uses Hawke's Hut.
39:04Hmm?
39:21Dr. Rhodes?
39:23Where's Diana Cooper?
39:25I haven't seen Diana.
39:27Why?
39:28Why?
39:28What's going on?
39:29She's missing.
39:30She didn't show up for the appeal.
39:31She received a message from an unregistered number,
39:34asking her to meet someone here.
39:36And here you are.
39:39You think I kidnapped her?
39:41Harmed her?
39:42The letters you wrote to the council were pretty threatening.
39:44I was simply considering action against Tideline Farms.
39:49You've got a record?
39:50Yeah, but not for violence.
39:51I'm a peaceful protester.
39:53So why are you here?
39:54I told you yesterday,
39:55this is my base.
39:56I was here all night.
39:58I promise you,
39:59I have no idea where Diana is.
40:02Mind if we're checking that?
40:03Be my guest.
40:10The sound.
40:12I've heard it before.
40:21Sid made that.
40:22Maud's husband.
40:24It's too hard for Maud and Lacey to come up here these days.
40:28So I keep it as a memory of him.
40:39Anything?
40:43Diana's not here.
40:44She sells seashells by the seashore.
41:04Jeff admitted to the poaching but stuck to the mermaid tail.
41:09Mary Rhodes was just in the wrong place.
41:12Elijah and Lacey both have alibis.
41:15What are we missing?
41:17Mary, fishhooks.
41:19Found him in New Zealand.
41:20New Zealand.
41:32It's a power shell.
41:34Only found in New Zealand.
41:36Sacred to the Maori for remembrance, grief.
41:39This?
41:40This isn't protest.
41:42It's personal.
41:43Driven by loss.
41:45Look, to keep things sustainable,
41:47the law says that power can only be harvested by free divers.
41:53Elijah and Lacey.
41:55But both have alibis.
41:57Elijah, maybe.
41:58His alibi was verified.
42:00But Lacey told us she was with her grandmother, Maud,
42:02which we accepted because we couldn't see a motive.
42:05But if she had a motive, it could be a lie?
42:09Which means Maud must also have lied.
42:11To protect her grand god.
42:12So what if?
42:14Maud knew that the shell we found in the nest was Lacey's,
42:16so she told us they were together.
42:19No idea.
42:20It wasn't true.
42:22Jeff is convinced that he saw a mermaid,
42:24but what I think he actually saw
42:26was Lacey, a free diver, avoiding him.
42:29The bioluminescence and a lot of rum did the rest.
42:31But how did she get away without being seen in bioluminescence?
42:34Look who I found stuck in the stored cupboard.
42:38The door slammed.
42:39I couldn't open it.
42:41Wind must have blown its shouts.
42:44That door's always been dodgy.
42:46I tried shouting for a while, but I got a bit tired.
42:50We're so sorry, Admiral.
42:51We couldn't hear you.
42:53We thought you'd left and gone home.
42:55Precisely!
42:56We assumed that Lacey swam away somehow.
42:59But what if she never actually left?
43:01Lacey had swum out to the seaweed farm
43:03to free dive for stones to weigh the nets down.
43:08When Jeff appeared,
43:10Lacey tried to flee underwater,
43:12but realized her movements were lit by the bioluminescence.
43:14So, she did something only a free diver could.
43:18She stayed still.
43:21Held her breath for several long minutes.
43:24An ingenious, vanishing act.
43:27We thought she swam away, but she disappeared by staying exactly where she was.
43:32So, what if Diana did the same thing?
43:35What if the text about Hawke's Hut wasn't for her?
43:38Well, it was fast.
43:41It was fast.
43:42It was fast.
43:46The power was for Lacey's grandfather.
43:48Remember, he collected shells, made wind chimes with them.
43:52When I was by Diana's window this morning,
43:54I heard wind chimes.
43:56The same as the ones at Hawke's Hut.
43:58Well, I couldn't quite place it before.
44:01It was so faint.
44:03He used to sneak into these tunnels when we were kids.
44:07The tunnels below the offices are perfect hiding spots.
44:10And not just for teenage parties.
44:12When Rin threats and sabotage failed to scare Diana off,
44:15Lacey turned to more drastic measures.
44:18Lacey grew up here.
44:20Before Tideline Farms took over the old fishing warehouse,
44:23she knew his secrets.
44:25Like the mermaid of Shifton Abbott,
44:28Lacey set her musical new.
44:35Diana took the bait.
44:37Followed the sound of wind chimes.
44:39Beautiful.
44:40Alluring.
44:43Lacey didn't want to harm her.
44:45Let me out.
44:46Just trap her.
44:47Please, let me out.
44:48Look at her fishing and net.
44:52She sent the text,
44:53then swiped Diana's key card to make it look like she left.
44:56So Lacey and Diana both vanished by staying put.
44:59Lacey wove us a mermaid's tail.
45:01So we chase a lure while the truth waited,
45:04hidden in the depths below.
45:06Go!
45:07Go!
45:18Let's try down here.
45:19On that way, on that way.
45:21Let's go.
45:22There's a door.
45:23Diana!
45:24Do you hear that?
45:25Oh, my God!
45:26Diana!
45:28Diana!
45:40I think you dropped this.
45:50He thought he was gone for good.
45:56Your grandfather loved the sea.
45:59Loved collecting shells.
46:02He scattered his ashes just past the seaweed farm.
46:06And the shells for him.
46:08Is that why you did all of this?
46:20Picnics on the boat.
46:23Grandad diving for shells.
46:28That stretch of water was ours.
46:31I meant to take this
46:33to where we scattered his ashes.
46:40I'm not against the seaweed farms.
46:43But the expansion?
46:45I checked the map.
46:50Who wouldn't be able to visit Grandad again?
46:54And it's not just me.
46:55It's everyone.
46:56The sea is our life.
46:58And Diana?
46:58I didn't want to hurt her.
47:00You just needed her to miss that meeting.
47:01If she couldn't get approval for the expansion,
47:04well,
47:05it couldn't happen.
47:09They promised Gran
47:12that they'd always be together at the end.
47:16Tideline farms would have made that impossible.
47:24Drink?
47:25Drink?
47:26Yeah.
47:27Great.
47:28First round on me?
47:31Sorry.
47:32Another time.
47:34Bye, sir.
47:36Sir?
47:37Same.
47:38A few things to tie up here.
47:52Humphrey,
47:53could I have a word?
47:54Um, if it's about Martha
47:55and I've had an idea,
47:56it's all in and out.
47:57Oh, no.
47:58That's good.
47:59No, it's, uh...
48:02It's delicate.
48:02Okay, can it wait then?
48:03I'm a bit snowed under.
48:04It's about James Smith.
48:06Right.
48:07Well,
48:07if James Smith
48:08has another demand of me,
48:09I'd like a hazard warning first.
48:10And maybe a siren.
48:12And if this is about me
48:13hurrying up
48:13and firing one of my team
48:14due to an impossibly small budget,
48:16then kindly tell him
48:17I've tragically perished
48:18in a free
48:20paperwork avalanche.
48:23No, I'm sorry.
48:26I had no idea.
48:46I can't wait to bring Agnieszka here.
48:48Love it.
48:49Proper English pub.
48:51Kelby,
48:52look,
48:53this is awkward,
48:54but I've been wanting
48:55to have a chat with you
48:56about Agnieszka.
48:59What about her?
49:01I'm...
49:01I'm just concerned
49:03it's moving a bit fast.
49:06Why?
49:07There's hardly anything
49:08about her online.
49:10Just cats.
49:12So she likes cats.
49:13It's not a crime, is it?
49:14No.
49:15It's just...
49:18Something feels off.
49:21I've seen this kind of thing before.
49:23What kind of thing?
49:25Someone online
49:26says all the right things.
49:29They find your soft spots
49:30and use them.
49:32You think I'm easiest to trick?
49:34Just a bit trusting.
49:38Agnieszka listens.
49:40Really listens.
49:42She doesn't treat me like a child.
49:43Then stop acting like one.
49:46There.
49:47That's it, isn't it?
49:48No, no, no.
49:48Kelby, I didn't mean that.
49:50You've never seen me as an equal.
49:52Not once.
49:53I'm just an idiot
49:54you've got to keep an eye on.
49:55That's not fair.
49:56No, what's not fair
49:57is you deciding
49:58what's best for me
49:59before I even get a say.
50:04At least Agnieszka believes in me.
50:07Which is a lot more
50:08than I could say for you.
50:32So that's what your cryptic text was about?
50:35A swim.
50:37Not just a swim.
50:39A skinny dip.
50:41Why?
50:42Because you're not boring.
50:45We're not boring.
50:47What do people see?
50:49Take a rest.
50:52Isn't that the fun?
51:15Archie?
51:17Archie?
51:18Esther?
51:20Archie?
51:22With Anne?
51:23Um, yes.
51:38Oh, no. Not in your revenge.
51:41Oh, I'm just thinking. We haven't laughed enough lately.
51:47I'm sorry. These evaluations have got me so...
51:51Distracted.
51:53Yeah, that too.
51:55You're always...
51:58Holding everything together and you make it look so easy.
52:01I just don't want to lose sight of you.
52:05Of us. The real us.
52:09Who love an adventure.
52:12I mean, I...
52:16Oh, no.
52:19Oi! Oi! Oi!
52:22Oi!
52:24Oi! Oi!
52:25Come back!
52:28Come on, good boy!
52:29Do a biscuit!
52:31Biscuit!
52:32The man was drugged, painted green, covered in ivy.
52:35Looks like your green man.
52:36It wasn't anyone from here.
52:37I've got a present for you. It's an eviction notice.
52:39He wants to build 30 houses here.
52:41Are you suggesting Mr. Altrim assaulted his own worker?
52:43He's getting good by that.
52:44You seem to know a lot about him.
52:45My brother.
52:47The result of my groundsman are now this.
52:49How long before they kill someone?
52:50You came to the house the other night.
52:51I'm sorry, I didn't realise you had someone there.
52:54Agnieszka's supposed to be flying in today.
52:56I don't know what you're thinking.
52:56That she's catfishing you out of your savings.
52:58You understand that tomorrow is the absolute deadline.
53:01I must have your decision.
