01:02Humphrey
01:03Yeah
01:03In the past hour you've stapled yourself to a cupboard
01:07Fitted a letterbox upside down
01:09And now flooded the kitchen
01:11I'm sensing your mind is elsewhere
01:14Sorry
01:15Oh don't be sorry
01:18Just talk to me
01:22I've got your mum
01:24Shattering me at the station
01:25As part of her induction
01:27Into the police panel
01:28But worse I've got Mr Smith pressing
01:31For who I'm going to lose
01:32And I haven't even told anyone they're under review
01:34When do you have to make your decision?
01:37End of the week
01:41Maybe 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
02:10I was chatting with Agnieszka
02:12Oh
02:14She's here now then?
02:16Online
02:16She was a bit upset
02:19She lost her job
02:21Don't tell me anymore
02:22Guess the rest
02:23Morning sir
02:25Morning
02:25Yes
02:27Morning
02:28Talking of imaginary women
02:29The fish market was buzzing this morning
02:32Someone spotted the mermaid
02:34A ship to nabbit last night
02:36Oh
02:36Where?
02:37Jeff Simmons swears he saw her up
02:39By Tideline Seaweed Farms
02:41Oh I'd love to see a mermaid
02:43Just because people believe it
02:45Doesn't make it true
02:50What do you think sir?
02:52Sir
02:54Someone's seen a mermaid
02:55This is usually where you start getting carried away by a bit of local nonsense
02:59Is 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
03:18Yes
03:19Anne will be joining us today
03:21Morning team
03:22As part of a role in the police committee
03:24Now 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
03:32The more I can support it
03:34I'll need a desk
03:35Oh we've got a spare one here
03:39Thank you Kelby
03:46Thank you
03:47That's very helpful
03:47Yes
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
04:01That's where they saw the mermaid
04:03Excellent
04:03Yes Anne
04:05Margot will show you the ropes
04:07While we
04:08We three
04:09Will go and see what happened
04:11Oh
04:20Kelby is questioning the staff
04:22But before we start this investigation
04:24Can we agree
04:25That the mermaid of Shipton Abbot
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
04:34Silly superstition to wind the grockles up
04:38Talking of Tideline
04:39This is where they started
04:41The council was given a grant
04:43To restore these old workshops
04:44Then rent them out at a reasonable rate
04:47To help new business
04:49Tidelines took off within the first couple of years
04:51So we moved to bigger premises
04:55Sabotaging a seaweed farm seems a bit extreme
04:57Don't you think?
04:59I 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
05:08Others say it ruins the view
05:09Kills fishing and tourism
05:12Tideline?
05:13Want to expand, grow the business, create more jobs
05:16Apply for it twice before
05:18Both times blocked
05:19Locals weren't having it
05:20How big are we talking?
05:22270 acres
05:24Off limits to fishermen
05:26Paddleboard swimmers
05:27The lot
05:28That's about what?
05:30200 football pitches?
05:32And one of the locals aren't happy
05:43Used 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 entering?
05:58They run underneath this entire building
06:02These nets were found this morning
06:03Weighed 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
06:11I got this
06:18Stop your expansion plans or face the consequences
06:21It was shut through our office door
06:23I found it this morning
06:24Any CCTV?
06:26Private security?
06:27No
06:28Regretting that now
06:29We've got a final appeal hearing about the expansion tomorrow
06:3410am
06:34With marine management and the council
06:36I can't believe someone hates what we're doing this much
06:39I put everything into this business
06:42Word is, we might finally get approved
06:44Someone clearly doesn't want that
06:46Yes, or something
06:47Do 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
07:07I'm really sorry
07:08I'm late for a meeting
07:09Will you let me know what you find?
07:10Okay
07:10Yeah
07:13Calbee
07:14Can 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
07:26Alright
07:33Well now
07:36What's this?
07:39I've seen one like this before
07:42Let me guess
07:43You collected a chance at school
07:45I bet you were popular
07:53She was moving fast below the surface
07:57Saw her long tail
07:58Flashing electric blue in the sea sparkle
08:02Could only be one thing
08:04A mermaid
08:10How close?
08:11Right below me
08:12Hopped up again well past the lines
08:15Tail
08:16Arcs
08:17Down she goes again
08:19Blink
08:21And gone
08:22Just like that
08:23It's extraordinary
08:25Magic 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 hard
08:40Told you was right
08:41Sleeping alright?
08:43On any meds?
08:44Mixing anything homebrewed?
08:47Did you see any other boat?
08:49Nah
08:49Just me
08:51And her
08:53The mermaid
08:55Of ship Denama
08:58You tell me
08:59What 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
09:16You himself
09:18Super
09:18You know mermaids have been spotted throughout history
09:21As long as humans have sailed
09:24One ship sailed
09:25By a load of lonely men
09:27Drinking cheap rum
09:28Which pretty much
09:29Describes Jeff Simmons to
09:31Only 5% of the oceans
09:33Explored Sergeant
09:34Used to know what's out there
09:45Sea
09:46Hides all manner of strange things
09:49Please leave your message
09:51After the tone
09:51Hello
09:52Me again
09:53Could you call me back
09:54As soon as possible?
09:55Please
09:56Thanks
09:57Bye
10:04Everything alright?
10:05If I strangled a builder
10:06Do you think Humphrey would arrest me or let me go?
10:10Well I'm sure you could convince him to let you off
10:12Good to know
10:15So how'd it go with your mum?
10:17How 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
10:25But
10:26Mum's got layers
10:27You never really know what she's thinking
10:28Even worse since the whole Archie thing
10:31Her
10:31Her head's all over the place
10:32Well
10:33We'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
10:39Couldn't we all?
10:44How can I help you?
10:45Two cappuccinos please
10:47Thanks
10:49Coastguard just confirmed
10:51Only Jeff's boat was near a tide line
10:54So he was the only one out there by the seaweed farm
10:56Apart from the mermaid
10:58Right
10:59And a unicorn did my taxes
11:02Very well
11:02Let us set mythical sea creatures aside
11:05Where's our motive for damaging those lines?
11:08That'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
11:16Margot
11:16Anything back from the lab about our letter?
11:19Just a bit
11:20I believe no fingerprints were found
11:23Just the exclusion prints that were taken
11:25Which were Diana Cooper's
11:28People was pretty standard
11:30Same with Ian
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
11:37Jeff Simmons could have dropped off the letter last night
11:40Before he went out on his boat
11:41Yes, but then why draw attention to yourself?
11:43I checked through his finances
11:45It 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
11:58It had to be him
12:00His was the only boat in the area
12:02But he may have been in the vicinity
12:03But it doesn't mean he's responsible for that damage
12:07Would you say it was called again?
12:09Ah, now that
12:14It's bioluminescence
12:16Or sea sparkle
12:17It's a chemical reaction
12:22Any movement?
12:30Whoa
12:30It sets it off like a flare
12:33That must have been close to the seaweed farm
12:36Because he says
12:37The mermaid appeared
12:38And vanished in it
12:40Fishing folk round here
12:42Obsessed with a mermaid of Shipton Abbott
12:44Yeah, what is that story exactly?
12:49Well
12:51The story goes
12:52That the mermaid once fell in love with a local fisherman
12:55Until she saw that he was taking too much from her seas
12:59So
13:01She conjured a storm
13:02And told him she'd help him back to the shore
13:05But actually
13:06Lured him onto the rocks
13:08His boat was ripped to shreds
13:12And there he met his end
13:14Some swear she's real
13:16The spirit of the deep
13:18Revenge with a tail
13:20Rots
13:21The warning is implicit
13:22Disrespect the sea
13:24And face the consequences
13:26That was very interesting
13:27Are we done?
13:33Now
13:33Diana mentioned public opposition
13:35But no names
13:37Uh, sir
13:38Looks like word spread beyond the fish market
13:41Hashtag Mermaid's Revenge
13:43Is trending online
13:44Mermaid's Revenge
13:45We should find out where that originated
13:47There's something about this whole thing
13:48That doesn't quite ring true
13:50If you're looking at opposition
13:52Try Dr. Mary Rhodes
13:54She's a marine conservationist
13:55She writes to the council every week
13:57About the seaweed farms
13:58She's tireless
13:59Slightly exhausting
14:01Someone who's against the expansion
14:03And
14:03An 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
14:25You can be of help
14:27Two hands
14:28One picker each
14:29Maud
14:30Can you sort these people, please?
14:33Thank you
14:34Oh, sorry
14:40Use your wrist
14:41Let it do the work
14:42You'll get it
14:44Thank you
14:47You've been doing this long?
14:48Ever since my husband died last year
14:52Sid loved the sea
14:55We scattered his ashes
14:57Out near Shipton Abbot Island
15:01I don't get out much
15:03Mary and my lovely granddaughter, Lacey
15:07They thought this might be custom, eh?
15:09Mary and I
15:10Go back to the picket lounge in 84
15:12Oh
15:14Her bark's worse than her bite
15:16So not by much
15:20Thank you
15:22Tidelines talk's green
15:24But it's industrial farming
15:27I mean
15:289,000 boys
15:29Lights on
15:30All night
15:31Their biggest mistake
15:32Was shutting out the community
15:34If they hadn't done that
15:35We might have been able to help
15:38You need to stop for a bit
15:39Sorry
15:41I have asthma
15:42Had it since I was a kid
15:44Well, it's 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
16:04Where were you?
16:06At Hawke's Hut
16:06Up 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
16:18Great place for monitoring the seals
16:21Anyone with you?
16:23No
16:23Just me
16:24A flask
16:25And no phone signal
16:28This
16:30Let's see one of these
16:33No
16:33It's not local though
16:35Could be tropical
16:37Maud's husband was a
16:38Shell 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
16:47That we used to sabotage the seaweed farm
16:51Maud here
16:56It's curious, 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
17:17Access to materials
17:18And no alibi
17:20Supposedly alone in a hut
17:22Famous 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
17:31To put us off the scent
17:33Kelby
17:34Sir
17:34Can you request Dr. Rose Council letters
17:37And compare them to Diana's, please?
17:39Morning, sir
17:40Also
17:41We've traced that mermaid revenge hashtag
17:44Started with a group called
17:45Stop Stealing Our Seas
17:47Last month they staged a paddle out protest
17:51Led by local surfer
17:52Elijah Moore
17:54Right
17:54Good to know
17:55Thank you, Kelby
17:58Oh
17:59Shipped to the police
18:01Anne speaking
18:02How can I help?
18:04Oh
18:04Yes, just a moment
18:05It's for you
18:11Anne, John
18:14Anything I can help with?
18:16There is, actually, Anne
18:18The inspector wants to check our letter
18:20With some from Dr. Rose
18:22Could you get us some from the council?
18:24Absolutely
18:25I'll give us a try
18:26We'll just go back
18:29It won't take two minutes
18:32Oh, no, come on
18:34Hello
18:34It'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?
18:47Don't you know?
18:48Yes
18:48Norwid
18:49N-O-R-W-I-D
18:52Doing a search?
18:54Just seeing if she's as pretty as you say she is
18:59All I'm getting
19:01Is cats in hats
19:04On skateboards
19:05What are you talking about?
19:08Ah, that's cute
19:09A kitten in a teacup
19:11You must have typed it in wrong
19:14That's weird
19:16You're not kidding
19:17Who dresses a cat in sunglasses?
19:20No
19:20Jeff Simmons
19:22The fisherman
19:23His bank records
19:25Show he made a purchase
19:26For custom alloys
19:27From alloyluke.com
19:29What's wrong with that?
19:32Have you seen this truck?
19:34It's ancient
19:35So why buy flash aluminium alloys?
19:37Unless
19:40Unless
19:41No
19:42I wouldn't
19:44But maybe he did
19:57See you next time
20:11You'll stop stealing RC's
20:13Paddleboard protests
20:14Certainly stir things up
20:15Look
20:15Good stunt, Elijah
20:17Got people talking
20:18You weren't a stunt
20:19People are angry
20:20They don't want tideline farms
20:21Wrecking this coastline
20:22Those are lovely
20:24Maori fishhooks
20:25Keep me from getting lost at sea
20:27Found them in New Zealand
20:28Different shops
20:29Same day
20:30Kind of
20:31One of those weird life things
20:33Your latest campaign's cashed you too
20:35Mermaid's Revenge
20:37Fits the local folklore
20:39Jeff Simmons
20:40Swears he saw a mermaid last night
20:43Heard to say what Jeff saw
20:44But if the myth fits the moment
20:46Good 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
20:54Sounds like a call to arms
20:56Could one of your followers
20:57Have taken things too far?
20:58We're not responsible
20:59For what random people do
21:00And Diana Cooper's no saint
21:02She's trying to privatise
21:03A coastline that people depend on
21:04Yeah, but she is a person
21:07You're scared
21:13Where were you both last night?
21:15Newkey
21:17Surfcom
21:18Stayed at the Neptune
21:19Come back this morning
21:22I stayed at McGram
21:23Pizza and a film
21:37Okay, thanks
21:38These fins?
21:41Or...
21:41Oh, that's it!
21:42Yes, print one of those off, please
21:45These are freediving fins
21:47Freediving fins?
21:49So maybe Jeff didn't see a mermaid
21:51No, he didn't
21:52You saw a freediver wearing these
21:54In the bioluminescence
21:56I suppose if the two fins were together
21:58It could look like a tail
22:00Mermaid-ish, even
22:02I must say
22:04The whole visual case
22:05Precy is very helpful
22:08Even if it was a freediver
22:10How do you haul weighted nets
22:12Offshore without a boat?
22:14Well, um...
22:15Paraboard
22:16Surfboard
22:16Not with that weight
22:18You'd flip
22:19If they're a freediver
22:20They could dive down
22:22And pick up the stones
22:23One at a time
22:24Kelby, check Lacey and Elijah's alibi, please
22:27Maybe he freedives too
22:29Sure
22:29Yeah, but still
22:31You see, that is not
22:32The most puzzling question
22:35You see, Jeff says
22:36The mermaid was there
22:37One moment
22:37And gone the next
22:39So
22:40If it wasn't a mermaid
22:41But a freediver
22:43Posing as one
22:44How on earth did they vanish
22:46In a sea
22:47That lights up every move
22:49Perhaps Jeff lied
22:51Blinked
22:52Or both
22:53Speaking of Jeff
22:54I saw him pocketing
22:55A fat water cash
22:57Off of some bloat
22:58I followed
22:58And saw him get into
23:00A brand new truck
23:01Huh
23:01New truck
23:03Easy cash
23:04I thought he was meant to be broke
23:06Needed extra subsidies
23:07He's being paid for something
23:08Ah, that's agreed
23:10Perhaps it's time we
23:13Reel in our fisherman
23:15You know, Humphrey
23:16I think I'll join you
23:17If I may
23:18Yeah
23:18I mean, being stuck round here all day
23:20Rather
23:20Numbs the brain
23:24Yeah
23:25Let's just drop
23:26The mermaid story, shall we?
23:29Who's paying you
23:29To sabotage the seaweed lines?
23:32The what?
23:33Then how'd you afford
23:33The new truck?
23:36The Coast Guard confirmed
23:37yours was the only boat
23:38In the area
23:40Look
23:41I don't care what you say
23:43I know what I saw
23:46She was there
23:47And then she weren't
23:49Couldn't it have just been a diver, Jeff?
23:53Wearing these?
23:54No chance
23:54It were real
23:56Magic
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
24:15What were you drinking?
24:22Or maybe I'd have a bit of rum
24:26Hmm
24:27Why do you think the mermaid was a warning, Jeff?
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
24:49Cash 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
25:00The new truck
25:01The cash
25:01All from poaching sea bass
25:03Off the books
25:07I swear on me mum's grave
25:11I 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?
25:34But no one wants this expansion
25:36You should just drop it
25:38Right
25:38That's enough
25:39Not in here
25:50Are you okay?
25:52Do you want to sit?
25:54I'm fine
25:56I'll get 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?
26:09Oh, it might have to wait until tomorrow
26:12Margot, perhaps Anne might be able to help with some of our information grouping
26:16Oh, that sounds interesting
26:17Otherwise known as filing
26:20What time did he arrive?
26:21Happy to help
26:24From what I've seen of your filing so far
26:27It's in need of some good reorganisation
26:30Anne, what time did he leave?
26:32So, Jeff is adamant he's not our culprit
26:34But if it wasn't him
26:36Then the free diver theory still holds
26:38Sure
26:39So, what about Elijah?
26:41Young, confident surfer
26:43Or Lacey, both good with the paddleboard
26:46It can't be
26:47Elijah was in Newquay
26:49Hotel confirmed it
26:50Lots of witnesses
26:51And Maud said Lacey was at home
26:55Watching before heaven with her
26:56My nan's obsessed
26:58Right
26:59So, that leaves Mary
27:02Oh, sir, I got her council letters
27:05And help me
27:07Listen to this one
27:08If you don't drop the expansion
27:10I will be forced to take matters further
27:12And you may regret the consequences
27:14That sounds like a warning shot
27:16Yeah, same tone
27:17Similar words
27:19Mary's got a record too
27:21A couple of charges
27:22Some arrests
27:24All protest stuff
27:25Goes back a fair way to the 80s
27:28But her asthma
27:29She couldn't freedive
27:30And whoever it is
27:31It still begs the question
27:32How did they get away
27:34Without lighting up the sea?
27:35Maybe she really was a mermaid
27:37How is our only suspect
27:39Still a mermaid?
27:48How someone can be
27:49The most infuriated
27:51And yet the most amazing person
27:55At exactly the same time
27:57Is a mystery
27:59Can I be honest?
28:00Always
28:02I didn't get it
28:04When I met you both
28:05For the first time
28:06I couldn't see how you
28:08Fit together
28:09No?
28:10Mm-mm
28:11Wow
28:11I suppose you're not alone in that
28:14Took mum a while too
28:15But now
28:17You're so loved up
28:19And so perfect for each other
28:20It makes me want to vomit
28:21Oh, I'm sorry we make you feel that way
28:23No, don't be
28:25It's lovely
28:26I'm just jealous
28:28Are you?
28:29Nah, you know me
28:30One man band
28:31Or
28:32One woman band
28:33Does
28:33Does that still work?
28:37You know you never told me
28:38What happened with you and Archie
28:41Didn't I?
28:42No
28:43Nothing to tell
28:43It was a thing
28:45Then it wasn't
28:46Same old, same old
28:47Well something must have happened
28:50Yeah, it did
28:53Me
28:54You know opening up
28:56And letting someone in
28:57Isn't as scary as it sounds
29:00You think?
29:03Did you ever
29:05Talk 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
29:14When 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
29:31Not 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
29:56He smiles at me every day
29:58The second Zoe walks into the room
30:03So whoever I'm with
30:04I end up hating them for not being him
30:09Archie never stood a chance
30:13Well I suppose the trick is
30:15Not hating Archie for what he's not
30:18But finding a way to love him for what he is
30:25That went quite deep there
30:26Did he pay you to say that?
30:28Of course
30:28How much?
30:29Thousands
30:30Good, because it's you all around
30:32You know if you told Archie any of that
30:35He'd get it
30:38Now that's way too scary
30:39I double dare you
30:43I'll think about it
30:44If I do a dare you've got to do one too
30:46Like what?
30:48I'll think of something
30:49When you get another drink
30:51Okay
30:56I don't know why I'm doing a dare
30:58You 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
31:21Last 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?
31:28Ready?
31:29Oh
31:30Well, they might think we're mermaids
31:49Yes, that's two pencils
31:54Oh, my mouth
32:03You're freezing
32:05You're freezing
32:11Yesterday I went for a swim
32:17What skinny is your thing though?
32:20That's what I used to do
32:22Before
32:23Okay
32:29Ingrid, do you think I'm boring?
32:33Definitely not
32:35Sometimes I think I am
32:38Not just tonight
32:39But always
32:40Like I've flattened out
32:47Sorry
33:07Good news
33:10Agnieszka is coming to visit
33:12Visit?
33:14In 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
33:32Find anything?
33:34No
33:34Which is worse
33:35One social media account
33:37No photos
33:38Just cats
33:39And now he's sending her money
33:43Shall I have a word?
33:45Best leave it with me
33:55There you are
34:09Morning
34:09Good morning
34:10Good morning
34:14Anne
34:15Have you spoken to Martha this morning?
34:19How did she seem to you?
34:21She's fine
34:22Why?
34:24Well she said something last night
34:27About thinking she was boring
34:30Then it's
34:32It's your job
34:33To help her realise
34:35That she's not
34:37My job
34:38Right
34:41Yeah
34:42So
34:44There was a bit of a crowd
34:46At the council offices
34:47This morning
34:48Protests against Tideline
34:49Oh yes
34:50The final appeal
34:51She'll be over by now
34:52And yet
34:53What time is this?
34:55We're still no closer
34:56To identifying our mermaid
34:58Free diver
35:00Diana Cooper's missing
35:04Diana told staff
35:05She'd be in early for the appeal
35:07But when they turned up at nine
35:09The office was empty
35:10They figured she'd already gone
35:13To the council meeting
35:14But she never showed
35:16Well she wouldn't miss that willingly
35:17It's too important
35:18I checked
35:19And the appeal was dismissed
35:21When she didn't show up
35:22Well
35:23Car's still here
35:24No forced entry
35:25No struggle
35:26Yeah
35:27They use key cards here
35:28Should show her entry and exit times
35:31Just waiting on the data
35:32Hmm
35:33She was mid-email
35:36And didn't finish it
35:37Why leave your phone?
35:39Either she was planning on coming back
35:41Or didn't get a chance
35:44Something interrupted her
35:46What's that sound?
35:52Oh
35:52Got the key card log
35:54Uh
35:54She swiped in at 810
35:56Out
35:58837
36:00So where'd she go after that?
36:01Did she have a choice?
36:04Sir?
36:09Looks like she was a regular
36:10Maybe she stopped there this morning
36:12Kirby
36:13Can we get this unlocked please?
36:15Sure
36:18Margot
36:19Sir
36:20We've checked our house
36:21Friends
36:22Hospital
36:22Nothing
36:23No sign of diner at all
36:48That looks delightful
36:50My fail-proof hangover remedy from Java
36:54The raw chili is the key
36:58Oh
36:58A thing could be cured out of beer
37:03October 12th
37:05Can't wine festival talkie
37:07Okay
37:07Um
37:0817th, 18th
37:09Uh, might we be seeing Nigel
37:11Can you shift it?
37:13I mean, my parents are dying to meet you
37:15Thanks, Louis
37:16I'll check
37:21Paradise might be wearing thin
37:23Oh
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
37:43Right after I opened
37:45How was she?
37:46Stressed about her appeal
37:47There 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?
38:00She was on her phone
38:01Mentioned someone
38:02Uh, Dr. Rhodes
38:05Hounding her about the expansion
38:07You're sure?
38:09Yeah, positive
38:09Why?
38:11Diana was dead set on going to the appeal
38:13Then she vanishes
38:15Right before it
38:18Things aren't always what they appear
38:22If anything more comes up
38:24Call the station
38:25Of course
38:28Yep
38:32I'm on my way
38:44Where'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
38:59Meet me at Hawke's Hut 9am
39:018.33am
39:028.33am
39:03She swiped down at 8.37am
39:05So that's where she was going
39:07And we all know who uses Hawke's Hut
39:09Hmm?
39:27Dr. Rhodes
39:29Where's Diana Cooper?
39:31I haven't seen Diana
39:33Why?
39:34Why?
39:34What's going on?
39:35She's missing
39:36She didn't show up for the appeal
39:37She received a message from an unregistered number
39:40Asking 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
39:52Action
39:52Against 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
40:03I promise you
40:05I have no idea where Diana is
40:07Mind if we check in there?
40:09Be my guest
40:10Thank you
40:16That 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
40:35As a memory of him
40:45Anything?
40:48Tanya's not here
40:51So where is she?
41:02She sells seashells by the seashore
41:10Jeff admitted to the poaching
41:12But 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?
41:24Mary, fishhooks
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
41:43For remembrance, grief
41:45This
41:46This isn't protest
41:48It's personal
41:49Driven by loss
41:51Look
41:52To keep things sustainable
41:53The law says
41:54Power can only be harvested by
41:56Free divers
41:59Elijah and Lacey
42:01But both have alibis
42:03Elijah, maybe
42:04His alibi was verified
42:05But Lacey told us
42:07She was with her grandmother
42:08Maud
42:08Which we accepted
42:09Because we couldn't see a motive
42:11But if she had a motive
42:12It 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
42:21We found in the nets
42:22Was Lacey's
42:22So she told us
42:23They were together
42:25No idea
42:26It wasn't true
42:27Jeff
42:28Is convinced that he saw a mermaid
42:30But what I think he actually saw
42:32Was Lacey
42:33A free diver
42:34Avoiding him
42:35The bioluminescence
42:36And a lot of rum
42:37Did the rest
42:37But how did she get away
42:38Without being seen in bioluminescence?
42:40Look who I found
42:41Stuck in the stored cupboard
42:44The door slammed
42:45I couldn't open it
42:47Wind must have blown its shouts
42:50That door's always been dodgy
42:52I tried shouting for a while
42:54But I got a bit tired
42:56We're so sorry
42:57Maud
42:57We couldn't hear you
42:58We thought you'd left
42:59And gone home
43:01Precisely
43:03We assumed that Lacey swam away somehow
43:04But what if she never
43:06Actually left?
43:07Lacey had swum out to the seaweed farm
43:09To free dive for stones
43:11To weigh the nets down
43:14When Jeff appeared
43:15Lacey tried to flee underwater
43:17But realised her movements
43:19Were lit by the bioluminescence
43:21So
43:21She did something
43:23Only a free diver could
43:24She stayed
43:25Still
43:27Held her breath
43:28For several long minutes
43:31An ingenious
43:32Vanishing act
43:33We thought she swam away
43:34But she disappeared
43:36By staying exactly
43:37Where she was
43:38So what if Diana
43:39Did the same thing?
43:41What if the text
43:42About Hawke's Hut
43:43Wasn't for her?
43:45It was for us
43:46A distraction
43:52The power was for Lacey's grandfather
43:54Remember
43:54He collected shells
43:56Made wind chimes with them
43:58When I was by Diana's window
44:00This morning
44:00I heard
44:01Wind chimes
44:02The same as the ones
44:03At Hawke's Hut
44:04While I couldn't quite place it before
44:07It was so faint
44:09We used to sneak into these tunnels
44:11When we were kids
44:13The tunnels below the offices
44:14Are perfect hiding spots
44:16And not just for teenage parties
44:18When ring threats
44:19And sabotage
44:20Failed to scare Diana off
44:21Lacey turned to more drastic measures
44:25Lacey grew up here
44:26Before Tideline Farms
44:28Took over the old fishing warehouse
44:29She knew his secrets
44:31Like the mermaid
44:32Of Shifton Abbott
44:34Lacey set her musical yield
44:41Diana took the bait
44:43Followed the sound of wind chimes
44:44Beautiful
44:45Beautiful
44:46Alluring
44:49Lacey didn't want to harm her
44:51Let me out
44:52Just trap her
44:53Please
44:54Let me out
44:54Like a fish in a net
44:58She sent the text
44:59Then swiped Diana's key card
45:00To make it look like she left
45:02So Lacey and Diana
45:03Both vanished
45:04By staying put
45:05Lacey wove us a mermaid's tail
45:07So we chased a lure
45:09While the truth waited
45:10Hidden in the depths below
45:11Go
45:24Let's try down here
45:25On that way
45:26On that way
45:27Let's go
45:27There's a door
45:29Diana
45:30Do you hear that?
45:31I don't know
45:32Diana
45:33Diana
45:33Diana
45:33Diana
45:46I think you dropped this
45:51I think you dropped this
46:01Your grandfather
46:03Loved the sea
46:05Loved collecting shells
46:09You scattered his ashes
46:10Just past the seaweed farm
46:12And the shell is for him
46:14Is that why you did all of this?
46:26Picnics on the boat
46:29Grandad diving for shells
46:34That stretch of water
46:36Was ours
46:37I meant to take this
46:39To where we scattered his ashes
46:46I'm not against the seaweed farms
46:48But the expansion
46:51I checked the map
46:56Who 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
47:10Well
47:11It couldn't happen
47:15They promised Grand
47:18That 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?
47:36Uh, sorry
47:38Another time
47:41Bye, sir
47:41Sir?
47:43Uh, same
47:43A few things to tie up here
47:58Humphrey
47:58Could I have a word?
48:00Um, if it's about Martha
48:01And I've had an idea it's all in the hand
48:03Oh, no
48:03That's good
48:04No, 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, well
48:13If James Smith has another demand of me
48:15I'd like a Hasselborn in first
48:16And, you know, maybe a siren
48:17And if this is about me hurrying up
48:19And firing one of my team
48:20Due to an impossibly small budget
48:22Then kindly tell him
48:23I've tragically perished
48:24In a free
48:26Paperwork avalanche
48:29No, I'm sorry
48:32I had no idea
48:52I can't wait to bring Agnieszka here
48:54Love it
48:55Proper English pub
48:57Kelby
48:58Look, this is awkward
49:00But I've been wanting to have a chat with you
49:02About Agnieszka
49:05What about her?
49:07I'm just concerned
49:09It's moving a bit fast
49:11Why?
49:13There's hardly anything about her online
49:16Just cats
49:17So she likes cats?
49:19It's not a crime, is it?
49:20No, it's just
49:24Something feels off
49:27I've seen this kind of thing before
49:29What kind of thing?
49:31Someone online
49:32Says all the right things
49:34They find your soft spots
49:36And use them
49:38Think I'm easy to trick?
49:40I mean, just a bit trusting
49:44Agnieszka listens
49:46Really listens
49:47She 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 the idiot you've got to keep an eye on
50:01That's not fair
50:02No, what's not fair
50:03Is you deciding what's best for me
50:05Before 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
50:42Not just a swim
50:44You're skimming it
50:47Why?
50:48Because you're not boring
50:51We're not boring
50:52What do people see?
50:55Take a rest
50:57Isn't that the fun?
51:02Woo, come on
51:21Archie?
51:22Hi, Esther
51:24Archie?
51:27You're down
51:29Um
51:30I'm getting stressed
51:33I feel that mummy's trusting
51:40Oh
51:45No
51:45Not in your revenge
51:47No, I'm just thinking
51:49We haven't laughed enough lately
51:53I'm sorry
51:54These evaluations have got me so
51:57Distracted
51:58Yeah, that too
52:01You're always
52:04Holding everything together
52:05And 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, oi
52:30Hey, hey
52:31Come back
52:32Don't go
52:33Come back here
52:34Come on, good boy
52:35Do you want a biscuit?
52:37Biscuit!
52:38The man was drugged
52:39Painted green
52:40Covered in ivy
52:41I was like your green man
52:42He 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. Outram assaulted his own worker?
52:49He's capable of that
52:50You seem to know a lot about him
52:51My brother
52:53They've assaulted my groundsman
52:55And 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
53:01I don't know what you think
53:02That she's catfishing you out of your savings
53:04You understand that tomorrow is the absolute deadline
53:07I must have your decision
