VOICEOVER: Previously on Itch...

You let us think you were dead.

I had to. No. We grieved for you!

If we could just swap his hard drive,

see if there's anything on it we could use

to prove Greencorp are behind the explosions and the dead fish.

Sir, please... Mr Lannister!

I'll just...put your stuff here, then.

I was brought to Seaburgh

to coordinate the discovery and exploitation of dysprosium

in Western Australia.

Dysprosium. Uh, element number 66.

It's used in...

nuclear reactors.

They're building a nuclear reactor?

(ALARM BEEPS)

OK, Mr Lannister, let's see what you're up to.

Now what?

Man, you're good.

I'm totally gonna get you next time, though.

I'd like to see you try. (PHONE ALERT BEEPS)

I've gotta go. I'll see you later?

Maybe.

(FLIES BUZZ)

Hey! The beach is still closed until this afternoon.

No-one's supposed to be here. You're here.

Department of Fisheries.

This whole area is off-limits.

Didn't you see the tape? I saw the dead fish.

Why are you collecting them? That's no concern of yours.

Is the beach not safe?

Off you go.

I can give you a fine if you'd like.

Is everything OK?

The police still haven't figured out what's causing the pollution

but I know Greencorp's to blame.

That company is ruthless.

OK? They have everyone in their back pockets.

Police, the government... I know they're dangerous.

But after everything they did to you...

Do you really want to get caught up with them again?

Mum, we already are!

Only if we're in Seaburgh.

I think we should leave.

Where would we go? Anywhere.

And as soon as possible.

You've been doing that all morning, haven't you?

No.

Kind of.

I'm a scientist, not a hacker!

I don't even know where to start.

So? Do some research.

You know, you have elite research skills.

True. Mmm. Mmm.

And you're...laser-focused.

Also true. Mm-hm.

I'm waiting for you to say something about my musical talent.

Come on! We could have everything we need on Greencorp right here!

I was in at elite researching skills.

I just wanted to see how far you'd go.

Ha, ha.

Are we in? Not yet.

(PHONE BLEEPS)

What's up?

Another load of poisoned fish have washed up on the beach.

How many?

Enough to make it clear it's getting worse.

Meet me at the surf club. Bring $4 and an old bag.

$4 and an old... What?

(FLIES BUZZ)

Are you seeing this?

Because there's no better time to open a beach

than after a mass poisoning.

Not if we can help it.

We get this tested and we can prove it was poisoned by the water.

And the beach stays closed!

Shouldn't we be keeping this cold?

Hence the $4. Gotta buy ice.

Hello?

Miss Wing?

I'm here to do my check.

Miss Wing?

Miss Wing?

(PHONE BLEEPS)

Suspect has escaped house arrest. Repeat - KALOF. Roshanna Wing.

Suspect is described as Caucasian,

blond hair, approximately 170cm tall.

Sorry - how many did you say? OK. Yep. Yep. I'll let the vet know.

Seaburgh Animal Shelter.

Can I please put you on hold? Thanks.

(SIGHS) It's been like this all morning.

Sick birds, small mammals. Out of control.

Is the vet in? Attending to calls.

It's either that or bring them all in here.

There's not much the vet can do for this little guy.

We're hoping it can help us.

And we need to stop people swimming in the water before they get sick.

Or worse.

If we do a biopsy and prove this fish was poisoned,

the beach stays closed.

Take it through. I'll take a sample.

(PICKS UP PHONE) Thanks for holding.

OK. Yep. Where are they?

I'll get the vet to you asap.

Getting anywhere?

Why can't someone just write a WikiHow

on cracking the password of a supervillain?

Or on bringing down an evil corporation.

(COMPUTER BLEEPS)

Before we met, I spent months

researching how to create a new identity.

I found a group that might have something.

Be my guest.

This is it.

Are you sure that information's legit?

Well, I fooled you, didn't I?

Didn't realise you were joking about that.

But OK.

Gross.

I thought science was your thing.

Chemistry and biology - completely different.

They go together like, uh...

..like caesium and cold water.

If you mix caesium and cold water, they explode!

It's science humour! That's not any kind of humour.

Department of Fisheries.

I believe you have some property that belongs to us.

She was at the beach this morning.

Pretty sure she's dodgy. Yeah, no kidding.

They are not getting that sample. Think of something.

The beach is off-limits and that goes for anything that's on it.

How do you know it's from the beach?

It's a north-west black bream.

You don't keep them as pets.

Just give me the fish.

I don't want to have to get the police involved.

Here it is.

And the sample.

That's everything?

And the bag.

I have an itch.

That's how he got his name.

(PHONE BUZZES)

Yep.

Of course. I'm looking at it as we speak.

Are we good?

Will do. Are we good?

We're on our way.

We're good.

Keep going.

I wonder when they'll work out I took two fish.

They took two fish.

I'd say about now.

Seriously?! Well, we can't go under it!

Come on!

Leave it. Aargh!

Agent Rogers. It was the same woman who came after us at the farm.

She's Greencorp. Itch. Itch.

Unless she actually does something, there's nothing I can do.

That might be a little too late, don't you think?

Ah, I can't believe I dropped that fish!

We went through all that for nothing.

No, we didn't.

Greencorp have sent dodgy fishery agents to get the sample.

You don't do that unless you're really worried.

Or really guilty.

It's practically an admission that whatever's in the water,

Greencorp put it there.

We just need more time to figure out what's going on.

We have to stop them from opening the beach.

How? We have no proof.

We make it personal. Let's talk to the mayor.

I doubt she's gonna listen to us.

But...there is someone who could help.

Darcy!

Mayor Watson? Can we talk to you, please?

Darcy! Of course. How's your dad?

There's something you need to know.

Why don't you make an appointment at the chambers

and we'll squeeze you in over the next week or so?

As you can see, I'm in the middle of something.

You can't re-open the beach.

Uh, we need to discuss some things with you.

Look, we've assessed the situation and come to the conclusion

that it is safe to re-open, rain, hail or shine.

But the fish are still dying. There were more this morning.

It's a natural occurrence. We don't think so.

We tested the water.

We don't know what's causing it but we do know that it's toxic.

If the beach stays closed, this community will fall apart.

It opens today. It's been decided.

You don't understand.

People could get hurt and you will be the one responsible!

Just... (CHUCKLES)

What he means to say is we just want to make sure it's safe.

I wouldn't be opening it unless I had full confidence,

backed by scientific proof,

that the water is safe.

Of course, Mayor Watson.

Thank you for your time.

What was that?

(COMPUTER BLEEPS)

Boom! Password thread.

They keep mentioning a crack program but...where?

There. That's gotta be a link.

How's your Russian? Hmm. (SPEAKS RUSSIAN)

You actually speak Russian? Don't you?

You are definitely a spy.

If I was, I'd be a lot better at this.

Ah. Parol.

Huh? Uh, 'parol'.

It means 'password'. I think we've come to the right place.

Who told you you could re-open the beach?

You said it was safe, so I went ahead.

It is safe, isn't it?

Well, we've had new information that warrants further testing.

More tests?

We're being thorough. It's what we do.

If there's something going on, you need to tell me.

This is my town.

No-one's gonna point the finger at you if this goes wrong.

The people voted me in.

But will they vote you back in if they knew

you re-opened the beach that was contaminated with chemicals?

Chemicals? What have you done?

Just keep the beach closed.

This may be your town now but remember,

it's your friends that keep you in power.

Good afternoon, people of Seaburgh.

It is with great pleasure that I welcome you here today

to re-open the heart of our community -

the beach.

(APPLAUSE)

Seaburgh. Come for the beach, stay for the radiation poisoning.

It has been a period of uncertainty

but through it all, the community has stood firm

and now it's time to make the town of Seaburgh whole once again.

But before I do,

I'd like to reflect on what this beach means for the community

and myself.

It's a place where local families come together.

The heart of our economy.

What is she waiting for? She keeps looking to Lannister.

One moment. Excuse me.

Does that look like someone who's convinced the water is safe?

Nope.

People of Seaburgh,

I wish that I had different news

but due to new information, the beach will remain closed.

(CROWD CLAMOURS)

I assure you that this is a precautionary measure

and that it will re-open as soon as possible.

Is it just me or are we not the only ones who know the water's toxic?

Whatever Greencorp are up to, it's bigger than we thought.

(WOMAN'S VOICE SPEAKS RUSSIAN)

And to install, we just have to run it in DOS.

Itch is gonna owe us some serious favours if this works.

I might not have long to cash them in.

Mum thinks we should get out of town.

Where to?

Far away. Maybe back to South-East Asia.

Have you told Itch?

ITCH: Told me what?

Vlad over here scored a crack pack.

About to find out if it works?

Vlad? A 'crack pack'?

Russian hacker speak. Keep up, Itch.

Hey, can I, uh, talk to you for a sec?

What is it?

Mum's thinking of moving on.

Leaving Seaburgh.

Thinking of it or...

She's decided.

When will you go?

There's a few things to sort out but it'll be soon.

A few days.

Is this what you really want?

There's no reason to stay.

Well...well, what about the postcard?

Uh, the message - someone reached out to you

because they thought you or your mum could help.

We still don't know what that message even means.

I know but...we will.

We just need more time.

(COMPUTER BLEEPS) Uh, something's happening.

Good thing or bad thing?

Definitely bad thing.

We're in but it's deleting.

The operating system has detected the crack.

It must be for an older version. He must have an update.

Well, can you stop it? I need a patch.

There has to be something in here.

Find it, quickly.

It's speeding up. We're gonna lose everything!

Not helpful! Throw me something to put this on.

Here.

Done.

Oh! (SIGHS)

Crisis over. Hard drive hacked.

Well, it's a good thing we all stayed calm.

Thanks.

It's fine.

Feel like we should celebrate or something.

Probably look at what we hacked first.

Oh, yeah. That bit.

It's all for something called Project Albatross.

Project Albatross?

What's that? Darcy!

All you've done since you came here is make promises and spend money!

Tell me why I don't close this all down.

Why I don't throw you back where I found you.

Or better still, make you disappear altogether.

Answer me!

Because I'm the only one who can give you

what you so desperately want.
