00:07The End
00:09Have you done it?
00:10Ye of little faces
00:15Mom!
00:22Oh, sorry, sorry!
00:23Oh, gosh, sorry!
00:24You determined...
00:26Stop, stop, stop!
00:27Oh, God!
00:29Oh, God!
00:29Got it!
00:30Got it!
00:35Oh, yeah.
00:48Stop, cock.
00:51That's good idea.
00:53We need to call a plumber.
00:54What the...?
00:56Oh!
00:57I'll call one now.
01:02Humphrey.
01:03Yeah?
01:04In the past hour, you've stapled yourself to a cupboard, fitted a letterbox upside down,
01:09and now flooded the kitchen.
01:11I'm sensing your mind is elsewhere.
01:14Sorry.
01:16Oh, don't be sorry.
01:18Just talk to me.
01:22I've got your mum shadowing me at the station as part of her induction into the police panel.
01:29But worse, I've got Mr Smith pressing for who I'm going to lose.
01:32And I haven't even told anyone they're under review.
01:35When do you have to make your decision?
01:37End of the week.
01:40Maybe honest is the best policy.
01:43Just tell them what's going on.
01:45It's an impossible situation.
01:47They'll understand.
02:03Big night, was it?
02:05No.
02:06Looks like it.
02:09If you must know, I was chatting with Agnieszka.
02:13Oh!
02:14She's here now then?
02:16Online.
02:17She was a bit upset.
02:19She lost her job.
02:20Don't tell me any more.
02:22Guess the rest.
02:24Morning, sir.
02:25Morning.
02:26Yes, morning.
02:28Talking of imaginary women, the fish market was buzzing this morning.
02:32Someone spotted the mermaid as shipped an abbot last night.
02:36Where?
02:37Jeff Simmons swears he saw her up by Tidelined Seaweed Farms.
02:41I'd love to see a mermaid.
02:43Just because people believe it, doesn't make it true.
02:46Ooh.
02:47Huh?
02:50What do you think, sir?
02:52Sir?
02:53Hmm?
02:54Someone's seen a mermaid?
02:55This is usually where you start getting carried away by a bit of local nonsense.
02:59Yeah.
03:02Is everything alright?
03:03You seem a bit... stressed.
03:06Oh, no.
03:09I've got...
03:11I've got some...
03:12Well, I've got something to tell you all.
03:17Um...
03:18Yes, uh, Anne will be joining us today.
03:21Morning, team.
03:22As part of a role in the, uh, police committee.
03:25Now, don't worry.
03:25I want you all to carry on exactly as you would if I wasn't here.
03:30And the more I know about what you actually do, the more I can support it.
03:34I'll need a desk.
03:35Oh, we've got a spare one here.
03:39Thank you, Kelby.
03:47That's very helpful.
03:48Yes.
03:48Thank you, Kelby.
03:50You won't even notice I'm here.
03:54Might explain the DI's stress.
03:56So what's on the agenda for today?
03:58Tideline farms.
03:59Someone sabotaged their seaweed lines.
04:01Yes.
04:02That's where they saw the mermaid.
04:03Excellent.
04:04Um, yes, Anne.
04:05Margot will show you the ropes, while we, uh, we three, will, uh, go and see what happened.
04:11Oh.
04:20Kelby is questioning the staff, but before we start this investigation, can we agree that the mermaid of Shipton Abbott
04:26didn't sabotage Tideline farms?
04:29Our job is to keep an open mind, Sergeant.
04:32It's all just old fisherman's tales.
04:35Silly superstition to wind the grockles up.
04:38Talking to Tideline, this is where they started.
04:41The council was given a grant to restore these old workshops, then rent them out at a reasonable rate to
04:47help new business.
04:49Tidelines took off within the first couple of years, so we moved to bigger premises.
04:53Sigh.
04:55Sabotaging a seaweed farm seems a bit extreme, don't you think?
04:58I mean, it's hardly controversial.
05:00Depends who you ask.
05:02Oh, so?
05:03Some reckon it's saving the planet.
05:05Soaks carbon, replaces plastic, feeds cows, others say it ruins the view.
05:10Kills fishing and tourism.
05:12And Tideline?
05:13Just want to expand, grow the business, create more jobs.
05:16Apply for it twice before, both times blocked.
05:19Locals weren't having it.
05:20How big are we talking?
05:22270 acres.
05:24Off-limits to fishermen, paddleboard swimmers, the lot.
05:28That's about what?
05:30200 football pitches?
05:32And one of the locals aren't happy.
05:43We used to sneak into these tunnels when we were kids.
05:46Bit of music, a couple of ciders.
05:49No one knew we were here.
05:51Is this a confession to breaking and entry?
05:58They run underneath this entire building.
06:02These nets were found this morning, weighed down with stones to pull the seaweed out of the sunlight.
06:07If they'd succeeded, we'd be facing a failed harvest.
06:10That's not all.
06:12I got this.
06:18Stop your expansion plans or face the consequences.
06:21It was shot through our office door.
06:23I found it this morning.
06:25Any CCTV?
06:26Private security?
06:27No.
06:28Regretting that now.
06:30We've got a final appeal hearing about the expansion tomorrow, 10am, with Marine Management and the Council.
06:36I can't believe someone hates what we're doing this much.
06:39I'd put everything into this business.
06:42Word is, we might finally get approved.
06:44Someone clearly doesn't want that.
06:46Yes, or something.
06:48Do you know of anyone in particular who's against the planned expansion?
06:51Honestly.
06:53Half the town.
06:54I'm scared.
06:55This isn't grumbling in some parish newsletter.
06:59This is malicious.
07:01It feels like there's a target on my back.
07:06I'm really sorry.
07:08I'm late for a meeting.
07:08Will you let me know what you find?
07:10Okay.
07:11Yeah.
07:13Kelby, can we get this sent to the lab, please?
07:16Prince, if we're lucky.
07:17Sir.
07:17Find anything?
07:18The Tideline crew found the nets at 5.30am.
07:21Last clear check was 6pm yesterday.
07:24So, sabotage happened overnight.
07:27Alright.
07:33Well, now.
07:36What's this?
07:39I've seen one like this before.
07:42Let me guess.
07:43I collected a chance at school.
07:45I bet you were popular.
07:53She was moving fast below the surface.
07:57Saw her long tail, flashing electric blue in the sea sparkle.
08:02Could only be one thing.
08:04A mermaid.
08:10How close?
08:11Right below me.
08:13Hopped up again, well past the lines.
08:16Tail.
08:16Arcs.
08:18Down she goes again.
08:19Blink.
08:21And gone.
08:22Just like that.
08:24Extraordinary.
08:24Hey.
08:26Magic it were.
08:30I know what folks say.
08:32You have to be proper amazed.
08:35I know what I saw.
08:37What were you doing out so late?
08:39Night fishing not so odd.
08:41Toy was right.
08:41Sleeping alright?
08:43On any meds?
08:44Mixing anything home brewed?
08:47Did you see any other boat?
08:49Nah.
08:50Just me.
08:52And her.
08:54The mermaid has shipped an arbor.
08:58You tell me.
09:00What else can swim through sea sparkle.
09:02And then just vanish.
09:07You ever pull one of these up in your nets?
09:10Can't say I have.
09:11Hard looking thing, innit?
09:14Mind if I borrow one?
09:16I don't care, yourself.
09:18Super.
09:19You know, mermaids have been spotted throughout history.
09:22As long as humans have sailed.
09:24On ships sailed by a load of lonely men drinking cheap rum.
09:28Which pretty much describes Geoff Simmons too.
09:31Only 5% of the oceans explored, Sergeant.
09:35Used to know what's out there.
09:45Sea hides all manner of strange things.
09:49Please leave your message after the tone.
09:52Hello.
09:53Me again.
09:54Could you call me back as soon as possible, please?
09:56Thanks.
09:57Bye.
10:02Ooh.
10:04Everything alright?
10:05If I strangled a builder, do you think Humphrey would arrest me or let me go?
10:09Well, I'm sure you could convince him to let you off.
10:12Good to know.
10:15So, how'd it go with your mum?
10:16How does she take the travel news?
10:19Weirdly well.
10:20It's suspiciously calm.
10:23Calm's good, isn't it?
10:25You'd think, but...
10:26Mum's got layers.
10:27You never really know what she's thinking.
10:29Even worse, since the whole Archie thing.
10:31Her head's all over the place.
10:33Well, we're going out for a drink tonight,
10:34so I'm sure she'll tell me how she feels about it.
10:37She could use a good night out.
10:38It'd be good for her to have a proper laugh.
10:40Couldn't we all?
10:44How can I help you?
10:45See cappuccinos, please.
10:46Thanks.
10:49Coast Guard just confirmed, only Geoff's boat was near a Tideline.
10:54So he was the only one out there by the seaweed farm.
10:56Apart from the mermaid.
10:58Right. And a unicorn did my taxes.
11:02Very well. Let us set mythical sea creatures aside.
11:05Where's our motive for damaging those lines?
11:07That's a lot of fishing grounds to lose if the expansion goes ahead.
11:11So, that would suggest it has to be someone from the fishing community.
11:15Mm-hmm.
11:16Margot, anything back from the lab about our letter?
11:19Just about.
11:20I believe no fingerprints were found.
11:23Just the exclusion prints that were taken, which were Diana Cooper's.
11:27Mm-hmm.
11:28People was pretty standard.
11:30Same with the eight.
11:31Anyone with a home computer could have done it.
11:33You were listening to my phone conversation.
11:35I thought you were here to observe.
11:37Geoff Simmons could have dropped off the letter last night before he went out on his boat.
11:41Yes, but then why draw attention to yourself?
11:44I checked through his finances.
11:46It looks like he's applying for more DEFRA fishing subsidies.
11:49There.
11:50So, he's got financial problems.
11:53Diana Cooper's expansion threatens his patch.
11:56And why the mermaid story?
11:57A misdirection.
11:59It had to be him.
12:00His was the only boat in the area.
12:02He may have been in the vicinity.
12:04But it doesn't mean he's responsible for that damage.
12:08Would you say it was called again?
12:09Ah, now that.
12:15It's bioluminescence.
12:16Or sea sparkle.
12:18It's a chemical reaction.
12:22Any movement?
12:29Whoa.
12:31It sets it off like a flare.
12:34That must have been close to the seaweed farm.
12:36Because he says the mermaid appeared and vanished in it.
12:40Fishing folk round here are obsessed with the mermaid of Ship the Nabbit.
12:44Yeah, what is that story exactly?
12:50Well, the story goes that the mermaid once fell in love with a local fisherman
12:55until she saw that he was taking too much from her seas.
13:00So, she conjured a storm and told him she'd help him back to the shore,
13:05but actually lured him onto the rocks.
13:09His boat was ripped to shreds.
13:11And there he met his end.
13:14Some swear she's real.
13:16The spirit of the deep.
13:18Revenge with a tail.
13:20But...
13:21The warning is implicit.
13:23Disrespect the sea and face the consequences.
13:26That was very interesting, huh?
13:31Are we done?
13:32Now, Diana mentioned public opposition, but no names.
13:37Uh, sir, looks like word spread beyond the fish market.
13:41Hashtag Mermaid's Revenge is trending online.
13:44Mermaid's Revenge.
13:45We should find out where that originated.
13:47There's something about this whole thing that doesn't quite ring true.
13:51If you're looking at opposition, try Dr. Mary Rhodes.
13:54She's a marine conservationist.
13:55She writes to the council every week about the seaweed farms.
13:58She's tireless.
14:00Slightly exhausting.
14:01Someone who's against the expansion and an avid letter writer.
14:05Very interesting, Anne.
14:07Let's see what she has to say.
14:20Good morning.
14:22Oh.
14:24If you want to talk, you can be of help.
14:27Two hands.
14:28One picker each.
14:29Maud!
14:30Can you sort these people, please?
14:40Use your wrist.
14:41Let it do the work.
14:43You'll get it.
14:47You've been doing this long?
14:48Ever since my husband died last year.
14:52Civil of the sea.
14:55We scattered his ashes out near Shipton Abbot Island.
15:01I don't get out much.
15:04Mary and my lovely granddaughter, Lacey, they thought this might be good for me.
15:09Mary and I go back to the picket lounge in 84.
15:14Her bark's worse than her bite.
15:16So not very much.
15:22Tidelines talks green, but it's industrial farming.
15:27I mean, 9,000 boys, lights on all night.
15:31Their biggest mistake was shutting out the community.
15:34If they hadn't done that, we might have been able to help.
15:38I need to stop for a bit.
15:39Sorry.
15:41I have asthma.
15:42Had it since I was a kid.
15:44Not at all.
15:48Diana.
15:50I sent this note last night.
15:53It's pretty threatening.
15:54Yeah.
15:55Pretty unequivocal.
15:57We gather you like to write a letter?
15:58Yes, I do.
16:00But I prefer the handwritten touch.
16:02Anyway, I wasn't in Shipton Abbot last night.
16:05Where were you?
16:06At Hawke's Hut.
16:07Up on the Newton Rock.
16:09Couple of miles down the coast.
16:10Some eccentric built it.
16:12Said he saw mermaids from up there.
16:14Maud's husband bought it years ago.
16:16She lets me use it.
16:18It's great.
16:19Great place for monitoring the seals.
16:21Anyone with you?
16:22No.
16:24Just me.
16:25A flask.
16:26And no phone signal.
16:28This.
16:30Have you ever seen one of these?
16:33No.
16:34It's not local, though.
16:35Could be tropical.
16:37Maud's husband was a shell collector.
16:40Why don't we ask her?
16:41Maud?
16:43Have a look at this.
16:44Do you know what that is?
16:45It was found tangled in the nets that we used to sabotage the seaweed farm.
16:50No idea.
16:56Curious, isn't it?
16:58Tropical shell caught in definite fishing nets.
17:01Perhaps it drifted in on a current.
17:04Dropped off a passing boat.
17:06Oh, look.
17:08Old, washed up netting.
17:10Just like what was used in the sabotage.
17:13So, our environmental warrior.
17:16She clearly has a motive, access to materials and no alibi.
17:20Supposedly alone in a hut famous for mermaid sightings.
17:24But how does she get out there?
17:27You know this whole mermaid legend thing.
17:30Feels like someone's using it to put us off the scent.
17:33Kelby?
17:34Sir?
17:34Can you request Dr Rose Council letters and compare them to Diana's, please?
17:39Morning, sir.
17:40Also, we've traced that mermaid revenge hashtag.
17:44Started with a group called Stop Stealing Our Seas.
17:47Last month, they staged a paddle out protest led by local surfer, Elijah Moore.
17:54Right. Good to know. Thank you, Kelby.
17:58I'm still here.
18:00Shipped it out at police?
18:01Anne speaking.
18:02How can I help?
18:04Oh.
18:04Yes, just a moment.
18:06It's for you.
18:11Anna, Joe.
18:14Anything I can help with?
18:16There is, actually, Anne.
18:18The inspector wants to check our letter with some from Dr Rose.
18:22Could you get us some from the council?
18:24Absolutely. I'll give us a try.
18:26We'll just go back.
18:29It won't take you two minutes.
18:32Oh, no, come on.
18:34Hello. It's Councillor Lloyd here.
18:36Yes.
18:37Could you put me through two council complaints?
18:40It's Angela, I think.
18:42What was that Nishka's last name again?
18:45Why?
18:46Don't you know?
18:48Yes. Norwid. N-O-R-W-I-D.
18:50Letters.
18:52Doing a search?
18:54Just seeing if she's as pretty as you say she is.
19:00All I'm getting is cats in hats on skateboards.
19:06What are you talking about?
19:07Ah, that's cute.
19:09A kitten in a teacup.
19:11You must have typed it in wrong.
19:15That's weird.
19:16You're not kidding.
19:17Who dresses a cat in sunglasses?
19:20No.
19:21Jeff Simmons.
19:22The fisherman.
19:23His bank records show he made a purchase for custom alloys from alloyluke.com.
19:29What?
19:30What's wrong with that?
19:32Have you seen this truck?
19:34It's ancient.
19:35So why buy flash aluminium alloys?
19:40Unless...
19:41No.
19:43No.
19:43I wouldn't.
19:45But maybe he did.
19:46No.
19:47No.
19:48No.
19:48No.
20:04See you next time.
20:07No.
20:12No.
20:13No.
20:13No.
20:14He certainly stirred things up.
20:16Good stunt, Elijah. Got people talking.
20:18It wasn't a stunt.
20:19People are angry.
20:20They don't want tideline firearms wrecking this coastline.
20:23Those are lovely.
20:25Maori fishhooks keep me from getting lost at sea.
20:27Found them in New Zealand.
20:28Different shops.
20:29CMD.
20:31Kind of one of those weird life things.
20:33Your latest campaign's catchy too.
20:36Mermaid's revenge.
20:37Fits the local folklore.
20:39Geoff Simmons swears he saw a mermaid last night.
20:43Heard to say what Geoff saw.
20:44But if the myth fits the moment, good campaigns ride the current.
20:48Unless it stops being a myth.
20:50Diana Cooper received a threat this morning.
20:52We don't do threats.
20:53Mermaid's revenge sounds like a call to arms.
20:55Could one of your followers have taken things too far?
20:58We're not responsible for what random people do.
21:01And Diana Cooper's no saint.
21:02She's trying to privatise a coastline that people depend on.
21:04Yeah, but she is a person.
21:07You're scared.
21:13Where were you both last night?
21:15Newquay.
21:17Surfcom.
21:18State of the Neptune.
21:19Come back this morning.
21:20Mm-hmm.
21:22I stayed in with Grant.
21:23Pizza and a film.
21:37Okay, thanks.
21:38These fins?
21:40Or...?
21:41Oh, that's it.
21:43Yes.
21:43Print one of those off, please.
21:45These are freediving fins.
21:47Free diving fins.
21:49So maybe Geoff didn't see a mermaid.
21:51He didn't.
21:52He saw a freediver wearing these.
21:54In the bioluminescence, I suppose if the two fins were together it could look like a tail.
22:00Mermaid-ish, even.
22:03I must say the whole visual case pricey is very helpful.
22:08Even if it was a freediver, how do you haul weighted nets offshore without a boat?
22:14Well, paddleboard. Surfboard.
22:17Not with that weight you'd flip.
22:18If they're a freediver, they could dive down and pick up the stones one at a time.
22:24Uh, Kelby, um, check Lacey and Elijah's alibi, please.
22:27Maybe he freedives too.
22:29Sure.
22:29Yeah, but still.
22:31You see, that is not the most puzzling question.
22:35You see, Geoff says the mermaid was there one moment and gone the next.
22:39So, if it wasn't a mermaid, but a freediver posing as one, how on earth did they vanish
22:46in a sea that lights up every move?
22:49Perhaps Geoff lied. Blinked. Or both.
22:53Speaking of Geoff, I saw him pocketing a fat water cash off of some bloat.
22:58I followed and saw him get into a brand new truck.
23:01Huh. New truck. Easy cash.
23:04I thought he was meant to be broke. Needed extra subsidies.
23:07He's being paid for something.
23:09Ah, that's agreed.
23:11Perhaps it's time we reel in our fisherman.
23:15You know, Humphrey, I think I'll join you if I may.
23:18Yeah.
23:18I mean, being stuck around here all day rather numbs the brain.
23:25Let's just drop the mermaid story, shall we?
23:28Who's paying you to sabotage the seaweed lines?
23:32The what?
23:32Then how would you afford the new truck?
23:36The Coast Guard confirmed yours was the only boat in the area.
23:41Look, I don't care what you say.
23:43I know what I saw.
23:46She was there, and then she weren't.
23:50Couldn't it have just been a diver, Geoff?
23:53Wearing these?
23:54No chance.
23:55It were real.
23:56Magic.
23:57Magic.
24:00She moved like she were part of the sea.
24:04Got me thinking.
24:06Maybe the sea sent her.
24:09A warning.
24:11Like the story says.
24:14What were you drinking?
24:22Or maybe I had a bit of rum?
24:26Hm.
24:27Why do you think the mermaid was a warning, Geoff?
24:30You've been taking a bit too much from the sea recently, is that it?
24:35Disrespect the sea and face the consequences.
24:43Look, I lands a few sea bass now and then on the sly, who doesn't?
24:48Sells up north a good price.
24:50Cash and a hand.
24:51Off the books.
24:52Enough for a new truck.
24:53Yeah.
24:55I've been stretching the pennies a while now.
24:58So the late night fishing, the new truck, the cash, all from poaching sea bass off the books?
25:07I swear on me mum's grave, I saw a mermaid.
25:17And I never touched that seaweed farm neither.
25:24Two oat milk lattes.
25:26Thanks.
25:31You still think you're the victim?
25:33Don't you?
25:34No one wants this expansion.
25:37You should just drop it.
25:38Right.
25:38That's enough.
25:40Not in here.
25:50Are you okay?
25:52Do you want to sit?
25:54I'm fine.
25:56Are you sure?
25:59So what happens now Jeff's admitted to poaching but not to sabotage?
26:03Well, he's still a witness to a crime.
26:05His interview recording needs to be transcribed and filed.
26:08Can I do anything?
26:10It might have to wait until tomorrow.
26:12Margot, perhaps Anne might be able to help with some of our information grouping.
26:17Oh, that sounds interesting.
26:18Otherwise known as failing.
26:20What time did he arrive?
26:21Happy to help.
26:24From what I've seen of your filing so far, it's in need of some good reorganisation.
26:30And what time did he leave?
26:32So, Jeff is adamant he's not our culprit.
26:35But if it wasn't him, then the freediver theory still holds.
26:39Are you sure?
26:39So what about Elijah?
26:41A young, confident surfer?
26:43Or Lacey, both good with a paddleboard?
26:46It can't be.
26:47Elijah was in Newquay.
26:49Hotel confirmed it.
26:50Lots of witnesses.
26:52And Maud said Lacey was at home, watching before heaven with her.
26:57My nan's obsessed.
26:59Right.
26:59So, that leaves Mary.
27:02Oh, sir, I got her council letters, and help me.
27:07Listen to this one.
27:08If you don't drop the expansion, I will be forced to take matters further, and you may regret the consequences.
27:15That sounds like a warning shot.
27:16Yeah, same tone. Similar words.
27:19Mary's got a record, too. A couple of charges, some arrests, all protest stuff. Goes back a fair way to
27:27the 80s.
27:28Yeah, but her asthma, she couldn't freedive.
27:30And whoever it is, it still begs the question, how did they get away without lighting up the sea?
27:35Maybe she really was a mermaid.
27:38How is our only suspect still a mermaid?
27:48How someone can be the most infuriated, and yet the most amazing person, at exactly the same time, is a
27:57mystery.
27:59Can I be honest?
28:00Always.
28:02I didn't get it.
28:04When I met you both for the first time, I couldn't see how you fit together.
28:10No?
28:11I suppose you're not alone in that.
28:14Took Mum a while, too.
28:16But now, you're so loved up and so perfect for each other, it makes me want to vomit.
28:21Oh, I'm sorry we make you feel that way.
28:24No, don't be. It's lovely.
28:26I'm just jealous.
28:28Are you?
28:29Nah, you know me. One man band, or one woman band. Does that still work?
28:37You know you never told me what happened with you and Archie.
28:41Didn't I?
28:42Nothing to tell. It was a thing, then it wasn't. Same old, same old.
28:47Well, something must have happened.
28:50Yeah, it did.
28:53Me.
28:54You know, opening up and letting someone in isn't as scary as it sounds.
29:00You think?
29:03Did you ever talk to him about Zoe's dad?
29:08Sort of.
29:10Oh, I hate it when you do that.
29:12Do what?
29:12Look at me like a disappointed teacher when I forgot my homework.
29:21What happened to you was terrible.
29:24And I've no idea how you got through it.
29:28How you picked up the pieces and
29:30not only survived, but brought up Zoe the way you did
29:34to be the most amazing person that she is.
29:38And I know that you loved Zoe's dad.
29:42But it doesn't mean you can't be in love again.
29:50The thing is, he's still here.
29:55He smiles at me every day.
29:58The second Zoe walks into the room.
30:02So whoever I'm with, I end up hating them for not being him.
30:09Archie never stood a chance.
30:13Well, I suppose the trick is, not hating Archie for what he's not,
30:18but finding a way to love him for what he is.
30:22What?
30:25That went quite deep there.
30:27Did he pay you to say that?
30:28Of course.
30:28How much?
30:29Thousands.
30:30Good, because it's your round.
30:32You know, if you told Archie any of that,
30:35he'd get it.
30:38Now that's way too scary.
30:40I double dare you.
30:43I'll think about it.
30:44If I do a dare, you've got to do one too.
30:47Like what?
30:48I'll think of something.
30:49When you get another drink.
30:51I don't know why I'm doing a dare.
30:59You haven't even done yours yet.
31:00No, you have to go first.
31:01It's the law.
31:02Says who?
31:03Me.
31:03And I'm a detective sergeant.
31:05And what would Humphrey say?
31:07That his wife is so boring.
31:10She won't go skinny dipping.
31:12Take that back.
31:13No, you take it back.
31:14I haven't got it.
31:18Well.
31:20Last one to get their kit off.
31:22Is the kipper.
31:23What?
31:24I don't know, I don't know.
31:25It just came out.
31:26Ready?
31:27Ready?
31:29Well, they might think we're mermaids.
31:32Ha ha!
31:34Ha ha!
31:34Woo hoo!
31:36Ha ha ha ha!
31:39Ha ha ha ha!
31:40Ha ha ha ha ha!
31:42Ha ha ha ha!
31:43Ha ha ha ha!
31:44Ha ha ha ha!
31:48Oh.
31:48Yeah.
31:50We're at that.
31:51Two pencils.
31:54Oh, my mother, you're freezing, you're freezing.
32:11Mr and I went for a swim.
32:17I'm not skinny, do you think, though?
32:20That's what I used to do before.
32:23Okay.
32:29Do you think I'm boring?
32:33Definitely not.
32:34Sometimes I think I'm not just a night, but always like a flannel.
32:47Sorry.
33:07Good news.
33:10Agnieszka is coming to visit.
33:14Visit? In person?
33:16Yeah.
33:16Thought she'd lost her job.
33:18She has.
33:19So how did she afford the flight?
33:21Tell me you didn't send money to someone you've never met.
33:25So what if I had?
33:31I've been digging online.
33:33Find anything?
33:33No.
33:34Which is worse.
33:35One social media account, no photos, just cats.
33:38And now he's sending her money.
33:40Oh.
33:43Shall I have a word?
33:45Best leave it with me.
33:55Here you are.
34:09Good morning.
34:09Good morning, Anne.
34:11Morning.
34:14Anne.
34:15Have you spoken to Martha this morning?
34:19How did she seem to you?
34:21She's fine.
34:22Why?
34:23Well, she said something last night.
34:26About thinking she was boring.
34:31Well, then it's...
34:32It's your job to help her realise that she's not...
34:36My job.
34:39Right.
34:41Yeah.
34:42Sir.
34:44There was a bit of a crowd at the council offices this morning.
34:48Protests against tideline?
34:49Oh, yes.
34:50The final appeal.
34:51It should be over by now.
34:52And yet...
34:53What time is this?
34:54We're still no closer to identifying our mermaid.
34:58Free diver.
35:00Diana Cooper's missing.
35:04Diana told staff she'd be in early for the appeal.
35:07But when they turned up at nine, the office was empty.
35:11They figured she'd already gone to the council meeting, but she never showed.
35:16Well, she wouldn't miss that willingly.
35:17It's too important.
35:18Yeah, well, I checked and the appeal was dismissed when she didn't show up.
35:22Well, car's still here.
35:24No forced entry, no struggle.
35:26Yeah, they use key cards here.
35:29Should show her entry and exit times, just waiting on the data.
35:33Hmm.
35:33She was mid-email.
35:36And didn't finish it.
35:37Why leave your phone?
35:39Either she was planning on coming back, or didn't get a chance.
35:44Something interrupted her.
35:46What's that sound?
35:52Oh, got the key card log.
35:54Uh, she swiped in at 810.
35:56Out, 837.
36:00So where'd she go after that?
36:01And did she have a choice?
36:04Sir?
36:09Looks like she was a regular.
36:10Maybe she stopped there this morning.
36:12Kirby, can we get this unlocked, please?
36:15Sure.
36:19Margot.
36:20Sir?
36:20We've checked our house, friends, hospital, nothing.
36:23No sign of Diana at all.
36:48That looks delightful.
36:51My fail-proof hangover remedy from Java.
36:54The raw chili is the key.
36:58Oh, I think I'll be cured out of beer.
37:03Uh, October 12th?
37:05Can't wine festival talkie.
37:07Okay.
37:08Um, 17th, 18th?
37:09Uh, might be seeing Nigel.
37:11Can you shift it? I mean, my parents are dying to meet you.
37:15Thanks, Libby.
37:15I'll check.
37:21Paradise might be wearing thin.
37:23Oh.
37:26Oh.
37:33I'll be out back.
37:35How are you feeling?
37:38Hmm.
37:39I'm here about Diana Cooper.
37:41She's missing.
37:42Missing?
37:43She was just here.
37:44Right after I opened.
37:45How was she?
37:46Hmm.
37:46Stressed about her appeal.
37:48There was something yesterday.
37:50A nasty exchange with a surfer.
37:52In here.
37:53Young guy.
37:54Dark hair.
37:55Sounds like Elijah.
37:57Anything else from this morning?
37:59Even small?
37:59She was on her phone, mentioned someone, uh, Dr. Rhodes, hounding her about the expansion.
38:08You're sure?
38:08Yeah, positive.
38:10Why?
38:11Diana was dead set on going to the appeal.
38:14Then she vanishes right before it.
38:18Things aren't always what they appear.
38:22If anything more comes up, call the station?
38:25Of course.
38:28Yep.
38:32I'm on my way.
38:45Where's Anne?
38:48Margot?
38:51No idea.
38:52Uh, sir.
38:53A text came in at 8.33am.
38:56Unknown number.
38:57If you want the truth about the sabotage, meet me at Hawke's Hut 9am.
39:018.33.
39:028.33.
39:03She swiped out at 8.37.
39:05So that's where she was going.
39:07And we all know who uses Hawke's Hut.
39:10Hmm?
39:27Dr. Rhodes, where's Diana Cooper?
39:31I haven't seen Diana.
39:33Why?
39:34Why?
39:34What's going on?
39:35She's missing.
39:36She's missing.
39:36She didn't show up for the appeal.
39:38She received a message from an unregistered number asking her to meet someone here.
39:42And here you are.
39:45You think I kidnapped her?
39:47Harmed her?
39:48The letters you wrote to the council were pretty threatening.
39:50I was simply considering action against Tideline Farms.
39:55You've got a record?
39:56Yeah, but not for violence.
39:57I'm a peaceful protester.
39:59So why are you here?
40:00I told you yesterday.
40:01This is my base.
40:02I was here all night.
40:04I promise you.
40:05I have no idea where Diana is.
40:08Mind if we check in there?
40:09Be my guest.
40:16The sound.
40:18I've heard it before.
40:27Sid made that.
40:28Maud's husband.
40:30It's too hard for Maud and Lacey to come up here these days.
40:34So I keep it as a memory of him.
40:44Anything?
40:49Tyna's not here.
40:52So where is she?
41:02She sells seashells by the seashore.
41:09Jeff?
41:10No.
41:11Admitted to the poaching, but stuck to the mermaid tail.
41:15Mary Rhodes was just in the wrong place.
41:18Elijah and Lacey both have alibis.
41:21What are we missing?
41:23Mary Fish Hooks.
41:25Found him in New Zealand.
41:26New Zealand.
41:31New Zealand.
41:38It's a power shell.
41:40Only found in New Zealand.
41:42Sacred to the Maori.
41:44For remembrance.
41:45Grief.
41:45This?
41:46This isn't protest.
41:48It's personal.
41:49Driven by loss.
41:51Look.
41:52To keep things sustainable, the law says that power can only be harvested by free divers.
41:59Elijah and Lacey.
42:01But both have alibis.
42:03Elijah, maybe.
42:04His alibi was verified.
42:06But Lacey told us she was with her grandmother Maud, which we accepted because we couldn't
42:10see a motive.
42:11But if she had a motive, then it could be a lie?
42:15Which means Maud must also have lied.
42:17To protect her granddaughter.
42:18So what if?
42:20Maud knew that the shell we found in the nets was Lacey's, so she told us they were together.
42:25No idea.
42:26It wasn't true.
42:28Geoff is convinced that he saw a mermaid.
42:30But what I think he actually saw was Lacey, a free diver, avoiding him.
42:35The bioluminescence and a lot of rum did the rest.
42:37But how did she get away without being seen in bioluminescence?
42:40Look who I found stuck in the stored coverage.
42:43The door slammed.
42:45I couldn't open it.
42:47The wind must have blown its shouts.
42:50That door's always been dodgy.
42:52I tried shouting for a while, but I got a bit tired.
42:56We're so sorry, Anne.
42:57We couldn't hear you.
42:59We thought you'd left and gone home.
43:01Precisely!
43:02We assumed that Lacey swam away somehow.
43:05But what if she never actually left?
43:08Lacey had swum out to the seaweed farm to free dive for stones to weigh the nets down.
43:14When Geoff appeared, Lacey tried to flee underwater, but realised her movements were lit by the bioluminescence.
43:21So, she did something only a free diver could.
43:24She stayed still.
43:27Held her breath for several long minutes.
43:30An ingenious vanishing act.
43:33We thought she swam away, but she disappeared by staying exactly where she was.
43:38So what if Diana did the same thing?
43:41What if the text about Hawke's Hut wasn't for her?
43:45It was for us.
43:47A distraction.
43:52The power was for Lacey's grandfather.
43:54Remember?
43:55He collected shells.
43:56Made wind chimes with them.
43:58When I was by Diana's window this morning, I heard wind chimes.
44:02The same as the ones at Hawke's Hut.
44:04But I couldn't quite place it before.
44:07It was so faint.
44:08He used to sneak into these tunnels when we were kids.
44:12The tunnels below the offices are perfect hiding spots.
44:16And not just for teenage parties.
44:18When Rin threats and sabotage failed to scare Diana off, Lacey turned to more drastic measures.
44:25Lacey grew up here.
44:26Before Tideline Farms took over the old fishing warehouse.
44:29She knew his secrets.
44:30Like the mermaid of Shifton Abbot.
44:34Lacey set her musical view.
44:41Diana took the bait.
44:43Followed the sound of wind chimes.
44:45Beautiful.
44:46Alluring.
44:49Lacey didn't want to harm her.
44:51Let me out.
44:52Just trap her.
44:53Please, let me out.
44:54Look at her fishing and net.
44:58She sent the text.
44:59Then swiped Diana's keycard to make it look like she left.
45:02So Lacey and Diana both vanished by staying put.
45:05Lacey wove us a mermaid's tail.
45:07So we chase a lure while the truth waited.
45:10Hidden in the depths below.
45:12Go!
45:24Let's try down here.
45:25On that way.
45:26On that way.
45:27Let's go.
45:28There's a door.
45:29Diana!
45:30Do you hear that?
45:32Diana!
45:46I think you dropped this.
45:56He thought it was gone for good.
46:02Your grandfather.
46:03He loved the sea.
46:05He loved collecting shells.
46:08You scattered his ashes just past the seaweed farm.
46:12And the shell is for him.
46:14Is that why he did all of this?
46:26Picnics on the boat.
46:30Grandad diving for shells.
46:34That stretch of water was ours.
46:37I meant to take this to where we scattered his ashes.
46:46I'm not against the seaweed farms.
46:49But the expansion?
46:51I checked the map.
46:56We wouldn't be able to visit Grandad again.
47:00And it's not just me.
47:01It's everyone.
47:02The sea is our life.
47:04And Diana?
47:04I didn't want to hurt her.
47:06You just needed her to miss that meeting.
47:08If she couldn't get approval for the expansion, well...
47:11It couldn't happen.
47:15I promised Grand that they'd always be together at the end.
47:22Tideline farms would have made that impossible.
47:30Drink?
47:32Yeah.
47:33Great.
47:34First round on me?
47:37Uh...
47:38Sorry.
47:38Another time.
47:40Bye, sir.
47:42Sir?
47:43Same.
47:44A few things to tie up here.
47:58Humphrey, could I have a word?
48:00Um, if it's about Martha and I've had an idea, it's all in hand.
48:03Oh, no.
48:04That's good.
48:05No, it's, uh...
48:08It's delicate.
48:08Okay, can it wait then?
48:09I'm a bit snowed under.
48:10It's about James Smith.
48:12Right.
48:12Well, if James Smith has another demand of me, I'd like a hazard warning first.
48:16And maybe a siren.
48:18And if this is about me hurrying up and firing one of my team due to an impossibly small budget,
48:22then kindly tell him I've tragically perished.
48:24In a free paperwork avalanche.
48:29No, I'm sorry.
48:32I had no idea.
48:52I can't wait to bring Agnieszka here.
48:54She'll love it.
48:55A proper English pub.
48:57Kelby.
48:58Look, this is awkward.
49:00But I've been wanting to have a chat with you about Agnieszka.
49:05What about her?
49:06I'm...
49:07I'm just concerned.
49:09It's moving a bit fast.
49:12Why?
49:13There's hardly anything about her online.
49:16Just cats.
49:18So she likes cats?
49:19It's not a crime, is it?
49:20No!
49:21It's just...
49:24Something feels off.
49:27I've seen this kind of thing before.
49:29What kind of thing?
49:31Someone online says all the right things.
49:35They find your soft spots and use them.
49:38Think I'm easy to trick?
49:40I mean...
49:41Just a bit trusting.
49:44Agnieszka listens.
49:46Really listens.
49:48She doesn't treat me like a child.
49:49Then stop acting like one.
49:52There.
49:53That's it, isn't it?
49:54No, no, no.
49:54Kelby, I didn't mean that.
49:55I've never seen me as an equal.
49:58Not once.
49:59I'm just an idiot you've got to keep an eye on.
50:01But that's not fair.
50:02No, what's not fair is you deciding what's best for me before I even get a say.
50:10At least Agnieszka believes in me.
50:13Which is a lot more than I can say for you.
50:38So that's what your cryptic text was about.
50:41A swim.
50:43Not just a swim.
50:45You're skipping it.
50:47Why?
50:48Because you're not boring.
50:51We're not boring.
50:53What do people see?
50:55Take a rest.
50:57What?
50:58Isn't that the fun?
51:01Isn't that the fun?
51:02Woo!
51:03Come on!
51:21Archie?
51:24Esther.
51:26Archie?
51:28You're done?
51:45No!
51:46Not in your revenge.
51:47Oh, I'm just thinking.
51:49We haven't laughed enough lately.
51:53I'm sorry.
51:55These evaluations have got me so...
51:57Distracted.
51:59Yeah, that too.
52:01You're always...
52:04Holding everything together and you make it look so easy.
52:07I just don't want to lose sight of you.
52:11Of us.
52:12The real us.
52:15Who love an adventure.
52:18I mean, I...
52:22Oh no.
52:25Oi!
52:26Oi!
52:27Oi!
52:29Oi!
52:31Oi!
52:31Oi!
52:32Come back!
52:32Come back here!
52:34Come on, good boy!
52:35Do you want a biscuit?
52:37Biscuit!
52:38A man was drugged, painted green, covered in ivy.
52:41It's like your green man.
52:42It wasn't anyone from here.
52:43I've got a present for you.
52:44It's an eviction notice.
52:45He wants to build 30 houses here.
52:47Are you suggesting Mr. Altrim assaulted his own worker?
52:49He's capable of that.
52:50You seem to know a lot about him.
52:52My brother.
52:53The assault of my groundsmen are now this.
52:55How long before they kill someone?
52:56You came to the house the other night.
52:57I'm sorry, I didn't realise you had someone there.
53:00Agnieszka's supposed to be flying in today.
53:02I don't know what you're thinking.
53:02That she's catfishing you out of your savings.
53:05You understand that tomorrow is the absolute deadline.
53:07I must have your decision.
