00:12The End
00:30I don't know.
01:11I don't know.
01:37I don't know.
01:43I don't know.
01:46I don't know.
01:57I got you.
01:59Have you done it?
02:00Ye of little faith.
02:12Oh, sorry, sorry.
02:14Oh, gosh, sorry.
02:15You didn't tell them.
02:17Stop.
02:17Stop.
02:18Stop.
02:19Stop.
02:20Stop.
02:21Stop.
02:23Stop.
02:24Stop.
02:38Stop.
02:39Oh, yeah.
02:40Stop.
02:43Stop.
02:46Stop.
02:46Stop.
02:50I'll call one now.
02:55Humphrey.
02:56Yeah?
02:56In the past hour, you've stapled yourself to a cupboard, fitted a letterbox upside down,
03:02and now flooded the kitchen.
03:04I'm sensing your mind is elsewhere.
03:07Sorry.
03:09Oh, don't be sorry.
03:11Just talk to me.
03:16I've got your mum shadowing me at the station as part of her induction into the police panel.
03:23But worse, I've got Mr. Smith pressing for who I'm going to lose, and I haven't even told anyone they're
03:28under review.
03:29When do you have to make your decision?
03:32End of the week.
03:35Maybe honesty is the best policy.
03:38Just tell them what's going on.
03:40It's an impossible situation.
03:42They'll understand.
03:59Big night, was it?
04:01No.
04:02Looks like it.
04:05If you must know, I was chatting with Agnieszka.
04:09Oh.
04:10She's here now, then?
04:12Online.
04:14She was a bit upset.
04:16She lost her job.
04:17Don't tell me any more.
04:19I can guess the rest.
04:21Morning, sir.
04:22Morning.
04:23Yes, morning.
04:25Talking of imaginary women, the fish market was buzzing this morning.
04:30Someone spotted the mermaid has shipped an abbot last night.
04:33Oh.
04:34Where?
04:35Geoff Simmons swears he saw her up by Tidelined Seaweed Farms.
04:39Oh, I'd love to see a mermaid.
04:41Just because people believe it, doesn't make it true.
04:44Ooh.
04:46Huh?
04:48Er, what do you think, sir?
04:50Sir?
04:51Hmm?
04:52Someone's seen a mermaid?
04:53This is usually where you start getting carried away by a bit of local nonsense.
04:57Yeah.
05:00Is everything all right?
05:02You seem a bit stressed.
05:05Oh, no.
05:08I've got...
05:10I've got some...
05:12Well, I've got something to tell you all.
05:17Yes, Anne will be joining us today.
05:21Morning, team.
05:21As part of our role in the, er, police committee.
05:24Now, don't worry.
05:25I want you all to carry on exactly as you would if I wasn't here.
05:30And the more I know about what you actually do, the more I can support it.
05:34I'll need a desk.
05:36Oh, we've got a spare one here.
05:40Thank you, Kelby.
05:48That's very helpful.
05:49Yes.
05:50Thank you, Kelby.
05:51You won't even notice I'm here.
05:55Might explain the DI's stress.
05:58So, what's on the agenda for today?
06:00Tideline Farms.
06:01Someone sabotaged their seaweed lines.
06:03That's where they saw the mermaid.
06:05Excellent.
06:05Um, yes, Anne.
06:07Margot will show you the ropes, while we, er, we three, will, er, go and see what happened.
06:13Oh.
06:23Kelby is questioning the staff, but before we start this investigation, can we agree that
06:28the Mermaid of Shipton Abbot didn't sabotage Tideline Farms?
06:33Our job is to keep an open mind, Sergeant.
06:35It's all just old fisherman's tales, silly superstition to wind the grockles up.
06:41Yeah, I know.
06:42Talking of Tideline, this is where they started.
06:45The council was given a grant to restore these old workshops, then rent them out at a reasonable
06:50rate to help new business.
06:54Tidelines took off within the first couple of years, so we moved to bigger premises.
06:59Sabotaging a seaweed farm seems a bit extreme, don't you think?
07:03I mean, it's hardly controversial.
07:05Depends who you ask.
07:07How so?
07:08Some reckon it's saving the planet, soaks carbon, replaces plastic, feeds cows, others
07:13say it ruins the view, kills fishing and tourism.
07:17And Tideline?
07:19Want to expand, grow the business, create more jobs.
07:22Apply for it twice before, both times blocked, locals won't have it.
07:26How big are we talking?
07:28270 acres.
07:30Off limits to fishermen, paddle boards, swimmers, the lot.
07:34That's about what?
07:36200 football pitches?
07:39And one of the locals aren't happy.
07:50Used to sneak into these tunnels when we were kids.
07:53A bit of music, a couple of ciders.
07:56No one knew we were here.
07:58Is this a confession to breaking and entering?
08:06They run underneath this entire building.
08:09These nets were found this morning, weighed down with stones to pull the seaweed out of the sunlight.
08:15If they'd succeeded, we'd be facing a failed harvest.
08:19That's not all.
08:20I got this.
08:27Stop your expansion plans or face the consequences.
08:30It was shot through our office door.
08:32I found it this morning.
08:33Any CCTV?
08:35Private security?
08:36No.
08:37Regretting that now.
08:39We've got a final appeal hearing about the expansion tomorrow, 10am, with Marine Management and the Council.
08:46I can't believe someone hates what we're doing this much.
08:49I put everything into this business.
08:52Word is, we might finally get approved.
08:54Someone clearly doesn't want that.
08:56Yes, or something.
08:57Do you know of anyone in particular who's against the planned expansion?
09:02Honestly.
09:03Half the town.
09:04I'm scared.
09:05This isn't grumbling in some parish newsletter.
09:10This is malicious.
09:12It feels like there's a target on my back.
09:18I'm really sorry.
09:19I'm late for a meeting.
09:20Will you let me know what you find?
09:21Okay.
09:25Kelby, can we get this sent to the lab, please?
09:27Prince, if we're lucky?
09:28Sir.
09:29Find anything?
09:30The Tideline crew found the nets at 5.30am.
09:33Last clear check was 6pm yesterday, so sabotage happened overnight.
09:39Alright.
09:45Well, now.
09:49What's this?
09:52I've seen one like this before.
09:55Let me guess.
09:56You collected shells at school.
09:57I collected shells at school.
09:58Bet you were popular.
10:06She was moving fast below the surface.
10:10Saw her long tail flashing electric blue in the sea sparkle.
10:16Could only be one thing.
10:18A mermaid.
10:24how close right below me popped up again well past the lines tail arcs down she goes again blink
10:36then gone just like that it's extraordinary magic it were
10:46I know what folks say Jeff be proper amazed I know what I saw what were you doing out so
10:54late
10:54night fishing not so odd toys was right sleeping all right on any meds mixing anything homebrewed
11:03did you see any other boat no just me and her the mermaid is shipped in our boat
11:15you tell me what else can swim through sea sparkle and then just vanish
11:24you ever pull one of these up in your nets can't say I am hard-looking thing innit
11:32mind if I borrow one okay yourself super you know mermaids have been spotted throughout history
11:39as long as humans have sailed on ships sailed by a load of lonely men drinking cheap rum
11:46which pretty much describes Jeff Simmons too only five percent of the oceans explored sergeant
11:52needs to know what's out there
12:04see hides all manner of strange things
12:08please leave your message after the tone
12:11hello me again could you call me back as soon as possible please thanks bye
12:23oh everything all right if I strangled a builder do you think Humphrey would arrest me or let me go
12:29oh well I'm sure you could convince him to let you off good to know so how'd it go with
12:36your mum
12:37how does she take the travel news weirdly well it's suspiciously calm calm's good isn't it you'd think
12:46but mum's got layers you never really know what she's thinking even worse since the whole Archie thing her
12:52her head's all over the place well we're going out for a drink tonight so I'm sure she'll tell me
12:57how
12:57she feels about it she could do us a good night out it good for her to have a proper
13:01laugh couldn't we all
13:06how can I help you two cappuccinos please thanks
13:11coast guard just confirmed only Jeff's boat was near a tide line so he was the only one out there
13:18by
13:18the seaweed farm apart from the mermaid right and a unicorn did my taxes very well let us set
13:26mythical sea creatures aside where's our motive for damaging those lines that's a lot of
13:32fishing grounds to lose if the expansion goes ahead so that would suggest it has to be someone
13:37from the fishing community mmm Margo anything back from the lab about our letter just about I believe
13:44no fingerprints were found just the exclusion prints that were taken which were Diana Cooper's
13:51mm-hmm people was pretty standard same with the anyone with a home computer could have done it you
13:58were listed to my phone conversation I thought you were here to observe Jeff Simmons could have
14:03dropped off the letter last night before he went out on his boat well yeah yes but then why draw
14:07attention to yourself I checked through his finances it looks like he's applying for more death for
14:13fishing subsidies there so he's got financial problems Diana Cooper's expansion threatens his patch and why
14:22the mermaid story a misdirection it had to be him his was the only boat in the area he may
14:28have been in the
14:29vicinity but it doesn't mean he's responsible for that damage would you say it was called again ah now that
14:40is bioluminescence or sea sparkle it's a chemical reaction
14:49any movement
14:58it sets it off like a flare that must have been close to the seaweed farm because he says the
15:05mermaid appeared and vanished in it fishing folk round here obsessed with the mermaid of ship the
15:12rabbit yeah what is that story exactly well the story goes that the mermaid once fell in love with
15:22a local fisherman until she saw that he was taking too much from her seas so she conjured a storm
15:31and
15:32told him she'd help him back to the shore but actually you heard him onto the rocks his boat was
15:39ripped to
15:40shreds and there he met his end some swear she's real the spirit of the deep revenge with a tail
15:49but the warning is implicit disrespect the sea and face the consequences it was a very interesting
15:57how are we done now Diana mentioned public opposition but no names uh sir looks like
16:09word spread beyond the fish market has had mermaid's revenge is trending online mermaid's revenge we
16:16should find out where that originated there's something about this whole thing that doesn't
16:20quite ring true if you're looking at opposition try dr. Mary Rhodes she's a marine conservationist she
16:27writes to the council every week about the seaweed farms she's tireless it's slightly exhausting
16:33someone who's against the expansion and an avid letter writer very interesting and
16:39let's see what she has to say
16:52good morning
16:57oh if you want to talk you can be of help two hands one picker each
17:02mud can you sort these people please thank you
17:13use your wrist let it do the work you'll get it thank you you've been doing this long

17:47oh her bark's worse than her bite so not very much
17:55thank you
17:58tidelines talks green but it's industrial farming
18:03i mean 9 000 boys lights on all night their biggest mistake was shutting out the community
18:10if they hadn't done that we might have been able to help
18:15need to stop for a bit sorry i have asthma had it since i was a kid
18:21not at all
18:25diana
18:27i sent this note last night
18:30it's pretty threatening
18:31yeah pretty unequivocal

18:36yes i do but i prefer the handwritten touch anyway i wasn't in shipton abbot last night
18:42where were you at hawk's hut up on the newton rock
18:47a couple of miles down the coast some eccentric built it said he saw mermaids from up there
18:52mord's husband bought it years ago she lets me use it
19:10mord's husband was a shell collector why don't we ask her mord have a look at this do you know
19:11what that is
19:17mord's husband was a shell collector why don't we ask her mord have a look at this do you know
19:25what that is
19:25it was found tangled in the nets that we used to sabotage the seaweed farm
19:31no idea
19:37it's curious isn't it
19:39tropical shell caught in devon fishing nets
19:41perhaps it drifted in on a current
19:44dropped off a passing boat
19:46oh look
19:49old washed up netting
19:52just like what was used in the sabotage
19:54hmm
19:55so our environmental warrior

20:02supposedly alone in a hut famous for mermaid sightings
20:05but how does she get out there

22:07no
22:08jeff simmons
22:10the fisherman
22:11his bank records show he made a purchase for custom alloys from alloyluke.com
22:17well
22:18what's wrong with that
22:19have you seen his truck
22:22it's ancient
22:23so why buy flash aluminium alloys

23:01you'll stop stealing rc's paddleboard protests certainly stirred things up
23:06good stunt elijah
23:08got people talking
23:09you weren't a stunt
23:09people are angry
23:11they don't want tideline farms wrecking this coastline
23:13those are lovely
23:15maori fishhooks
23:16keep me from getting lost at sea
23:18found them in new zealand
23:19different shops
23:20same day
23:22kind of
23:22one of those weird life things
23:25your latest campaigns cash you too
23:27mermaid's revenge
23:28fits the local folklore
23:30jeff simmons swears he saw a mermaid last night
23:34hard to say what jeff saw
23:36but if the myth fits the moment
23:38good campaigns ride the current
23:40yeah unless it stops being a myth
23:42diana cooper received a threat this morning
23:44we don't do threats
23:45mermaid's revenge sounds like a call to arms
23:48could one of your followers have taken things too far
23:50we're not responsible for what random people do
23:53and diana cooper's no saint she's trying to privatize a coastline that people depend on
23:57yeah but she is a person
24:00you're scared
24:06where were you both last night
24:08new key
24:10surf comp
24:11stayed at the neptune
24:12got back this morning
24:15i stayed in the ground
24:17pizza and a film
24:31okay thanks
24:33these bins
24:34or
24:36oh that's it
24:37yes print one of those off please
24:40these are free diving things
24:42free diving things
24:44so maybe jeff didn't see a mermaid
24:46he didn't
24:47you saw a free diver wearing these
24:50in the bioluminescence i suppose if the two fins were together it could look like a tail
24:56mermaid-ish even
24:58i must say the whole visual case
25:01pricey is it's very helpful
25:04even if it was a free diver how do you haul weighted nets offshore without a boat
25:10well um paddleboard
25:12surfboard
25:13not with that weight you'd flip
25:15if they're a free diver they could dive down and pick up the stones one at a time
25:20uh kelby um check lacy and elijah's alibi please
25:24maybe he free dives too
25:26sure
25:26yeah but still
25:28you see that is not the most puzzling question
25:32you see jeff says the mermaid was there one moment and gone the next so
25:37if it wasn't a mermaid but a free diver posing as one how on earth did they vanish
25:44in the sea that lights up every move
25:47perhaps jeff lied blinked or both
25:51speaking of jeff i saw him pocketing a fat water cash off of some bloke i followed and saw him
25:58get
25:58into a brand new truck
26:00new truck easy cash i thought he was meant to be broke needed extra subsidies he's being paid for
26:07something yeah it's agreed perhaps it's time we reel in our fishermen you know hamphrey i think
26:16i'll join you if i may yeah i mean being stuck around here all day rather numbs the brain
26:21night
26:25let's just drop the mermaid story shall we who's paying you to sabotage the seaweed lines
26:32no one then how do you afford the new truck
26:36the coast guard confirmed yours was the only boat in the area
26:41look i don't care what you say i know what i saw she was there and then she weren't
26:50couldn't it have just been a diver jeff wearing these no chance it were real magic
27:02she moved like she were part of the sea got me thinking maybe the sea center a warning like the
27:14story says
27:17what were you drinking
27:25or maybe i had a bit of rum
27:30why do you think the mermaid was a warning jeff you've been taken a bit too much from the sea
27:36recently is that it disrespect the sea and face the consequences
27:47you know i lands a few sea bass now and then on the sly who doesn't
27:52sells up north a good price cash and hand off the books enough for a new truck oh yeah
28:00i've been stretching the pennies a while now so the late night fishing the new truck the cash all from
28:07poaching sea bass off the books
28:13i swear on me mum's grave i saw a mermaid
28:22and i never touched that seaweed farm neither
28:30two oatmeal lattes thanks
28:37you still think you're the victim don't you but no one wants this expansion
28:43you should just drop it right that's enough not in here
28:57are you okay do you want to sit i'm fine i'll get your usual
29:07so what happens now jeff's admitted to poaching but not to sabotage well he's still a witness to a
29:13crime his interview recording needs to be transcribed and filed can i do anything oh it might have to
29:19wait until tomorrow margot perhaps and might be able to help with some of our information grouping oh
29:25that sounds interesting otherwise known as failing what time did he arrive happy to help
29:32from what i've seen of your filing so far it's in need of some good reorganization and what time did
29:40he leave so jeff is adamant he's not our culprit but if it wasn't him then then the free diver
29:47theory
29:47still holds sure so what about elijah you know young confidence surfer or lacy both good with the
29:55paddleboard it can't be elijah was in new key hotel confirmed it lots of witnesses and maude said
30:04lacy was at home watching before heaven with her my nan's obsessed right so that leaves mary oh sir
30:13i got her council letters and help me listen to this one if you don't drop the expansion i will
30:22be
30:22forced to take matters further and you may regret the consequences that sounds like a warning shot
30:28in the same tone similar words mary's got a record to a couple of charges some arrests all protest stuff
30:38goes back a fair way to the 80s yeah but her asthma she couldn't free dive and whoever it is
30:44it still
30:44begs the question how did they get away without lighting up the sea maybe she really was a mermaid
30:50how is our only suspect still a mermaid
31:00how someone can be the most infuriating and yet the most amazing person at exactly the same time
31:11is a mystery can i be honest always
31:16i didn't get it when i met you both for the first time i couldn't see how you fit together
31:24no
31:26wow i suppose you're not alone in that took mum a while too but now you're so loved up and
31:33so
31:34perfect for each other it makes me want to vomit oh i'm sorry we make you feel that way
31:38no don't be no don't be it's lovely i'm just jealous are you nah you know me one man band
31:46or one woman
31:48band does does that still work one you know you never told me what happened with you and archie
31:56didn't i no nothing to tell it was a thing then it wasn't
32:01the same old same old well something must have happened yeah it did
32:10me you know opening up and letting someone in isn't as scary as it sounds you think
32:20did you ever talk to him about zoe's dad
32:25sort of oh i hate it when you do that do what look at me like a disappointed teacher when
32:32i forgot my homework
32:38what happened to you was terrible
32:42and i've no idea how you got through it how you picked up the pieces and
32:49not only survived but brought up zoe the way you did to be the most amazing person that she is
32:57and i know that you loved zoe's dad
33:01but it doesn't mean you can't be in love again
33:09the thing is he's still here

41:05Oh?
41:08Oh.
41:15I'll be out back.
41:18How are you feeling?
41:20Hmm.
41:22I'm here about Diana Cooper.
41:24She's missing.
41:25Missing?
41:25She was just here, right after I opened.
41:28How was she?
41:29Hmm, stressed about her appeal.
41:31Well, there was something yesterday.
41:33A nasty exchange with a surfer.
41:36In here.
41:36Young guy.
41:37Dark hair.
41:39Sounds like Elijah.
41:41Anything else from this morning?
41:43Even small?
41:43She was on her phone, mentioned someone...
41:47Uh, Dr. Rhodes?
41:49Hounding her about the expansion.
41:52You're sure?
41:53Yeah, positive.
41:54Why?
41:55Diana was dead set on going to the appeal.
41:58Then she vanishes right before it.
42:02Things aren't always what they appear.
42:07If anything more comes up, call the station?
42:10Of course.
42:13Yep.
42:17Yep.
42:18I'm on my way.
42:30Where's Anne?
42:34Margot?
42:37No idea.
42:38Sir, a text came in at 8.33am.
42:43Unknown number.
42:44If you want the truth about the sabotage,
42:46meet me at Hawke's Hut, 9am.
42:488.33.
42:498.33.
42:50She swiped out at 8.37.
42:52So that's where she was going.
42:54And we all know who uses Hawke's Hut.
43:15Dr. Rhodes?
43:17Where's Diana Cooper?
43:20I haven't seen Diana.
43:21Why?
43:22Why?
43:23What's going on?
43:23She's missing.
43:25She didn't show up for the appeal.
43:26She received a message from an unregistered number
43:29asking her to meet someone here.
43:31And here you are.
43:34You think I kidnapped her?
43:36Harmed her?
43:37The letters you wrote to the council were pretty threatening.
43:39I was simply considering action against Tideline Farms.
43:44You've got a record?
43:45Yeah, but not for violence.
43:47I'm a peaceful protester.
43:48So why are you here?
43:50I told you yesterday, this is my base.
43:52I was here all night.
43:53I promise you, I have no idea where Diana is.
43:58Mind if we check in there?
43:59Be my guest.
44:06That sound.
44:09I've heard it before.
44:17Sid made that.
44:19Maud's husband.
44:22It's too hard for Maud and Lacey to come up here these days.
44:25So I keep it as a memory of him.
44:37Anything?
44:41Diana's not here.
44:54She sells seashells by the seashore.
45:02Jeff admitted to the poaching, but stuck to the mermaid tail.
45:08Mary Rhodes was just in the wrong place.
45:11Elijah and Lacey both have alibis.
45:15What are we missing?
45:17Mary Fish Hooks.
45:19Found him in New Zealand.
45:20New Zealand.
45:25New Zealand.
45:27New Zealand.
45:33It's a power shell.
45:35Only found in New Zealand.
45:37Sacred to the Maori.
45:39For remembrance, grief.
45:40This?
45:41This isn't protest.
45:43It's personal.
45:44Driven by loss.
45:47Look.
45:48To keep things sustainable, the law says that power can only be harvested by free divers.
45:55Elijah and Lacey.
45:57But both have alibis.
45:59Elijah, maybe.
46:00His alibi was verified.
46:02But Lacey told us she was with her grandmother, Maud, which we accepted because we couldn't
46:06see a motive.
46:07But if she had a motive, then it could be a lie?
46:11Which means Maud must also have lied.
46:13To protect her granddaughter.
46:15So what if?
46:16Maud knew that the shell we found in the nest was Lacey's, so she told us they were together.
46:22No idea.
46:23But it wasn't true.
46:25Geoff is convinced that he saw a mermaid.
46:27But what I think he actually saw was Lacey, a free diver, avoiding him.
46:32The bioluminescence and a lot of rum did the rest.
46:35But how did she get away without being seen in bioluminescence?
46:38Look who I found stuck in the stored cardboard.
46:41The door slammed.
46:43I couldn't open it.
46:45Wind must have blown it shut.
46:48That door's always been dodgy.
46:51I tried shouting for a while, but I got a bit tired.
46:55We're so sorry, Anne.
46:56We couldn't hear you.
46:57We thought you'd left and gone home.
47:00Precisely!
47:01We assumed that Lacey swam away somehow.
47:04But what if she never actually left?
47:06Lacey had swum out to the seaweed farm to free-dive for stones to weigh the net down.
47:14When Geoff appeared, Lacey tried to flee underwater, but realized her movements were lit by the bioluminescence.
47:20So, she did something only a free-diver could.
47:24She stayed still.
47:27Held her breath for several long minutes.
47:31An ingenious vanishing act.
47:33We thought she swam away, but she disappeared by staying exactly where she was.
47:38So, what if Diana did the same thing?
47:42What if the text about Hawke's Hut wasn't for her?
47:46It was for us.
47:48A distraction.
47:53The power was for Lacey's grandfather.
47:55Remember?
47:56He collected shells.
47:58Made wind chimes with them.
48:00When I was by Diana's window this morning, I heard wind chimes.
48:04The same as the ones at Hawke's Hut.
48:06Well, I couldn't quite place it before.
48:09It was so faint.
48:11He used to sneak into these tunnels when we were kids.
48:15The tunnels below the offices are perfect hiding spots.
48:18And not just for teenage parties.
48:21When Wrynn threats and sabotage failed to scare Diana off,
48:24Lacey turned to more drastic measures.
48:27Lacey grew up here.
48:29Before Tideline Farms took over the old fishing warehouse.
48:32She knew his secrets.
48:34Like the mermaid of Shifton Abbott,
48:37Lacey set her musical new.
48:45Diana took the bait.
48:47Followed the sound of wind chimes.
48:49Beautiful.
48:50Alluring.
48:53Lacey didn't want to harm her.
48:55Let me out!
48:57Just trap her.
48:58Please, let me out!
48:59Like a fish in a net.
49:02She sent the text.
49:04Then swiped Diana's key card to make it look like she left.
49:07So Lacey and Diana both vanished by staying put.
49:10Lacey wove us a mermaid's tail.
49:12So we chase a lure while the truth waited.
49:15Hidden in the depths below.
49:17Go!
49:30Let's try down here.
49:31On that way?
49:32On that way.
49:33Let's go.
49:34There's a door.
49:35Diana!
49:36Do you hear that?
49:38I don't hear that!
49:39Diana!
49:53I think you dropped this.
50:03I thought it was gone for good.
50:09Your grandfather loved the sea.
50:13Loved collecting shells.
50:17You scattered his ashes just past the seaweed farm.
50:20And the shell is for him.
50:23Is that why you did all of this?
50:35Picnics on the boat.
50:38Grandad diving for shells.
50:43That stretch of water was ours.
50:47I meant to take this to where we scattered his ashes.
50:56I'm not against the seaweed farms.
50:59But the expansion?
51:01I checked the map.
51:07You wouldn't be able to visit Grandad again.
51:10And it's not just me.
51:12It's everyone.
51:13The sea is our life.
51:15And Diana?
51:15I didn't want to hurt her.
51:17You just needed her to miss that meeting.
51:19I mean, if she couldn't get approval for the expansion, well, it couldn't happen.
51:27They promised Gran that they'd always be together at the end.
51:34Tideline farms would have made that impossible.
51:42Drink?
51:43Uh, yeah.
51:46Great.
51:46First round on me?
51:49Uh, sorry.
51:51Another time.
51:52Yeah.
51:53Bye, sir.
51:55Sir?
51:55Uh, same.
51:56A few things to tie up here.
52:12Humphrey, could I have a word?
52:14Um, if it's about Martha and I've had an idea, it's all in hand.
52:17Oh, no.
52:18That's good.
52:19No, it's, uh...
52:22It's delicate.
52:23Okay, can it wait then?
52:23I'm a bit snowed under.
52:24It's about James Smith.
52:26Right, well, if James Smith has another demand of me, I'd like a hazard warning first.
52:31And, you know, maybe a siren.
52:32And if this is about me hurrying up and firing one of my team due to an impossibly small budget,
52:37then kindly tell him I've tragically perished in a free paperwork avalanche.
52:45No, I'm sorry.
52:47I had no idea.
53:08I can't wait to bring Agnieszka here.
53:10She'll love it.
53:11Proper English pub.
53:12Uh, Kelby, look, this is awkward, but I've been wanting to have a chat with you about Agnieszka.
53:22What about her?
53:24I'm, I'm just concerned it's moving a bit fast.
53:29Why?
53:30There's hardly anything about her online.
53:34Just cats.
53:35So she likes cats.
53:37It's not a crime, is it?
53:38No.
53:38It's just...
53:42Something feels off.
53:45I've seen this kind of thing before.
53:48What kind of thing?
53:48Someone online says all the right things.
53:53They find your soft spots and use them.
53:57I think I'm easy to trick.
53:58I mean, just a bit trusting.
54:03Agnieszka listens.
54:05Really listens.
54:07She doesn't treat me like a child.
54:08Then stop acting like one.
54:11There.
54:12That's it, isn't it?
54:13No, no, no.
54:14Kelby, I didn't mean that.
54:15You've never seen me as an equal.
54:17Not once.
54:18I'm just the idiot you've got to keep an eye on.
54:21That's not fair.
54:22No, what's not fair is you deciding what's best for me before I even get a say.
54:30At least Agnieszka believes in me.
54:33Which is a lot more than I could say for you.
55:00So that's what your cryptic text was about?
55:03A swim?
55:04It's not just a swim.
55:07It's getting in.
55:09Why?
55:10Because you're not boring.
55:13We're not boring.
55:15But what if people see?
55:17Take a risk.
55:20Isn't that the fun?
55:22You're not boring.
55:24You're여?
55:25Woo!
55:26I can't help you.
55:30You're meant to be.
55:38You're not boring.
55:43You're not boring.
55:44You're not boring.
55:45You're not boring.
55:47What is it?
55:48It's like an old Slavt.
55:50Archie?
55:52Give it a hand.
55:55Um...
55:56Okay.
56:09Archie!
56:10No! Not in your revenge.
56:12Oh, I'm just thinking.
56:14We haven't laughed enough lately.
56:18I'm sorry.
56:20These evaluations have got me so...
56:23Distracted.
56:24Yeah, that too.
56:27You're always...
56:29Holding everything together and you make it look so easy.
56:33I just don't want to lose sight of you.
56:37Of us.
56:39The real us.
56:42Who love an adventure.
56:45I mean, I...
56:49Oh, no.
56:52Oi!
56:53Oi!
56:54Oi!
56:56Oh, Greg!
56:58Hey, hey!
56:59Come back!
57:00No, no, come back here!
57:01Come on, good boy!
57:03Go to Biscuit!
57:05Biscuit!
57:06A man was drugged and painted green and covered in ivy.
57:09Looks like your green man.
57:10He wasn't anyone from here.
57:11Got a present for you.
57:12It's an eviction notice.
57:13He wants to build 30 houses here.
57:15Are you suggesting Mr. Outchram assaulted his own worker?
57:18He's capable of that.
57:18You seem to know a lot about him.
57:20My brother.
57:22They've assaulted my groundsman and now this.
57:24How long before they kill someone?
57:25You came to the house the other night?
57:26I'm sorry, I didn't realise you had someone there.
57:28Agnieszka's supposed to be flying in today.
57:30I don't know what you're thinking.
57:31That she's catfishing you out of your savings.
57:33You understand that tomorrow is the absolute deadline.
57:36I must have your decision.
57:37I don't know what you're thinking.
58:07Butye!
58:07I don't know what you're going to do.
58:07So let's pray.
