shall we do with a drunken sailor?

One morning in the month of June down by
a rolling river There a weary traveler

chanced to stay and he bailed his lover
Her cheeks were red, her eyes were brown

Her hair in ring was hanging down She
had a lovely face without a frown Just

the tide was flowing

Gotcha. Have you done it?

Oh, ye of little faith.

Oh, sorry, sorry.

Oh, God, sorry.

Sorry, sorry.

Got it.

Stop, cock.

It's a good idea.

We need to call a plumber.

I'll call one now.

Humphrey. Yeah? In the past hour, you've
stapled yourself to a cupboard, fitted

a letterbox upside down, and now flooded
the kitchen. I'm sensing your mind is

elsewhere.

Sorry.

Oh, don't be sorry.

Just talk to me.

I've got your mum shadowing me at the
station as part of her induction into

police panel.

But worse, I've got Mr Smith pressing
for who I'm going to lose, and I haven't

even told anyone they're under review.

When do you have to make your decision?

End of the week.

Maybe honesty is the best policy.

Just... Tell them what's going on.

It's an impossible situation. They'll
understand.

Big night, was it?

No. Looks like it.

If you must know...

I was chatting with Agnieszka. Oh.

She's here now, then?

Online. She was a bit upset.

She lost her job.

Don't tell me any more. I can guess the
rest.

Morning, sir.

Morning.

Yes, morning.

Talking of imaginary women, the fish
market was buzzing this morning.

Someone spotted the mermaid has shipped
an abbot last night.

Oh, where?

Jeff Simmons swears he saw her up by
Tideline Seaweed Farms.

Oh, I'd love to see a mermaid.

Just because people believe it doesn't
make it true.

What do you think, sir?

Sir?

Someone's seen a mermaid?

This is usually where you start getting
carried away by a bit of local nonsense.

Is everything all right?

You seem a bit stressed.

I've got... I've got some... Well, I've
got something to tell you all.

Yes, Anne will be joining us today.
Morning, team.

As part of her role in the police
committee.

Now, don't worry.

I want you all to carry on exactly as
you would if I wasn't here.

And the more I know about what you
actually do, the more I can support it.

I'll need a desk.

Oh, we've got a spare one here.

Thank you, Kelby.

Thank you. That's very helpful.

Yes. Thank you, Kelby.

You won't even notice I'm here.

Might explain the DI's stress.

So what's on the agenda for today?

Tideline Farms.

Someone sabotaged their seaweed lines.

That's where they saw the mermaid.

Excellent. They're on their way. Yes,
Anne.

Margot will show you the ropes, while
we, we three, will go and see what

happened.

Kelby is questioning the staff, but
before we start this investigation, can

agree that the mermaid of Shipton Abbot
didn't sabotage Tideline Farms?

Our job is to keep an open mind,
Sergeant.

It's all just old fisherman's tales,
silly superstitions to wind the grockles

up.

Talking of Tideline, this is where they
started.

The council was given a grant to restore
these old workshops, then rent them out

at a reasonable rate to help new
business.

Tideline took off within the first
couple of years, so we moved to bigger

premises.

Sabotaging a seaweed farm seems a bit
extreme, don't you think?

I mean, it's hardly controversial.

It depends who you ask.

How so?

Some reckon it's saving the planet.
Soaks carbon, replaces plastic, feeds

Others say it ruins the view.

Kills fishing and tourism.

Tidal?

Want to expand, grow the business,
create more jobs.

Applied for it twice before, both times
blocked. Locals won't have it.

How big are we talking?

270 acres.

Off limits to fishermen, paddle boards,
swimmers, the lot.

That's about what?

200 football pitches?

No wonder the locals aren't happy.

Used to sneak into these tunnels when we
were kids.

Bit of music, couple of ciders.

No one knew we were here.

Is this a confession to breaking and
entering?

They run underneath this entire
building.

These nets were found this morning,
weighed down with stones to pull the

out of the sunlight.

If they'd succeeded, we'd be facing a
failed harvest.

That's not all.

I got this.

Stop your expansion plans or face the
consequences.

It was shot through our office door.

I found it this morning.

Any CCTV?

Private security?

No.

Regretting that now.

We've got a final appeal hearing about
the expansion tomorrow, 10am, with

Management and the Council.

I can't believe someone hates what we're
doing this much.

I'd put everything into this business.

Word is, we might finally get approved.

Someone clearly doesn't want that.

Yes, or something.

Do you know of anyone in particular
who's against the planned expansion?

Honestly, half the town. I'm scared.

This isn't grumbling in some parish
newsletter.

This is malicious.

It feels like there's a target on my
back.

I'm really sorry. I'm late for a
meeting. Will you let me know what you

Kelby, can we get the scent of the lab,
please?

Prince, if we're lucky. Sure. Find
anything?

The tie -line crew found the nets at 5
.30am.

Last clear check was 6pm yesterday, so
sabotage happened overnight.

Right.

Well, now.

Not there.

I've seen one like this before.

Let me get you can recollect the chance
of school that you were popular

He

was moving fast below the surface

Saw a long tail flashing electric blue
and the sea sparkle

Could only be one thing a mermaid

How close?

Right below me.

Popped up again well past the lines.

Tail. Arcs.

Down she goes again.

Blink.

And gone. Just like that.

Extraordinary.

Magic it were.

I know what folks say.

Jeff be proper mazed.

But I know what I saw.

What were you doing out so late?

Night fishing, not so odd.

Toy was right.

Sleeping all right? On any meds? Mixing
anything home -brewed?

Did you see any other boat?

Nah.

Just me and her.

The mermaid shipped in Abba.

You tell me what else can swim through
sea sparkle and then just vanish.

You ever pull one of these up in your
nets?

Can't say I have.

Hard -looking thing, innit?

Mind if I borrow one?

I don't care, yourself.

Super.

You know, mermaids have been spotted
throughout history.

As long as humans have sailed.

On ships sailed by a load of lonely men
drinking cheap rum, which pretty much

describes Jeff Simmons, too.

Only 5 % of the ocean's explored,
Sergeant.

Least to know what's out there.

See, hides all manner of strange things.

Please leave your message after the
tone.

Hello, me again.

Could you call me back as soon as
possible, please?

Thanks. Bye.

Ooh.

Everything all right?

If I strangled a builder, do you think
Humphrey would arrest me or let me go?

Ooh. Well, I'm sure you could convince
him to let you off.

Good to know.

So how'd it go with your mum?

How did she take the travel news?

Weirdly well.

It's especially calm.

Calm's good, isn't it?

You'd think, but mum's got layers.

You never really know what she's
thinking.

Even worse than the whole Archie thing,
her head's all over the place.

Well, we're going out for a drink
tonight, so I'm sure she'll tell me how

feels about it.

She could use a good night out. It'd be
good for her to have a proper laugh.

Couldn't we all?

How can I help you?

Two cappuccinos, please.

Thanks.

Er, Coast Guard just confirmed only
Jeff's boat was near Tideline.

So he was the only one out there by the
seaweed farm. Apart from the mermaid.

Right. And a unicorn did my taxes.

Very well.

Let us set mythical sea creatures aside.

Where's our motive for damaging those
lines?

That's a lot of fishing grounds to lose
if the expansion goes ahead.

So that would suggest it has to be
someone from the fishing community.

Margot, anything back from the lab about
our letter?

Just about. I believe no fingerprints
were found, just the exclusion prints

were taken, which were Diana Cooper's.

People was pretty standard.

Same with the ink. Anyone with a home
computer could have done it.

You were listening to my phone
conversation.

I thought you were here to observe.

Jeff Simmons could have dropped off the
letter last night before he went out on

his boat. Yes, but then why draw
attention to yourself?

I checked through his finances.

Looks like he's applying for more death
for fishing subsidies.

There. So he's got financial problems.

Diana Cooper's expansion threatens his
patch. And why the mermaid story?

A misdirection. It had to be him. His
was the only boat in the area. But he

have been in the vicinity.

But it doesn't mean he's responsible for
that damage.

Would you say it was cool again?

Ah, now that.

It's bioluminescence.

Or theme parkour.

The chemical reaction.

Any movement.

Whoa.

Sets it off like a flare.

That must have been close to the seaweed
farm. Because he says the mermaid

appeared and vanished in it.

Fishing folk round here, obsessed with a
mermaid who shipped an abbot.

Yeah, what is that story exactly?

Well, the story goes that the mermaid
once fell in love with a local fisherman

until she saw that he was taking too
much from her seas.

So, she conjured a storm and told him
she'd help him back to the shore, but

actually lured him onto the rock.

His boat was ripped to shreds. And there
he met his end.

Some swear she's real.

The spirit of the deep.

Revenge with a tail.

But the warning is implicit.

Disrespect the sea and face the
consequences.

That's very interesting, Anne.

Are we done?

Now, Diana mentioned public opposition,
but no names.

Sir, looks like word spread beyond the
fish market.

Hashtag Mermaid's Revenge is trending
online.

Mermaid's Revenge. We should find out
where that originated.

There's something about this whole thing
that doesn't quite ring true.

If you're looking at opposition, try Dr
Mary Rhodes.

She's a marine conservationist. She
writes to the council every week about

seaweed farms. She's tireless.

It's slightly exhausting.

Someone who's against the expansion and
an avid letter writer. Very interesting,

Anne.

Let's see what she has to say.

Good morning.

Oh.

If you want to talk, you can be of help.

Two hands, one picker each.

Maud, can you sort these people, please?

Thank you.

Use your wrist.

Let it do the work.

You'll get it.

Thank you.

You've been doing this long?

Ever since my husband died last year.

Said love the sea.

We scattered as ashes out near Tipton
Abbot Island.

I don't give out much.

Mary and my lovely granddaughter Lacey,
they thought this might be good for me.

Mary and I go back to the picket lounge
in 84.

Her bark's worse than her bite, so not
very much.

Thank you.

Tied lines, talks green.

But it's industrial farming.

I mean, 9 ,000 boys, lights on all
night.

Their biggest mistake was shutting out
the community. If they hadn't done that,

we might have been able to help.

You'd stop for a bit. Sorry.

I have asthma.

Had it since I was a kid.

What's up?

Diana?

I sent this note last night.

Pretty threatening.

Yeah, pretty unequivocal.

We gather you like to write a letter.

Yes, I do.

But I prefer the handwritten touch.

Anyway, I wasn't in Shipton Abbot last
night.

Where were you?

At Hawke's Hut, up on Mnuchin Rock.

A couple of miles down the coast.

Some eccentric built it. Said he saw
mermaids from up there.

Maud's husband bought it years ago. She
lets me use it.

It's great.

Great place for monitoring the seals.

Anyone with you?

No. Just me, a flask, and no phone
signal.

Liff.

Have you seen one of these?

No. Not local, though. Could be
tropical.

Maud's husband was a shell collector.

Why don't we ask her?

Maud, have a look at this.

Do you know what that is?

It was found tangled in the nets that
were used to sabotage the seaweed farm.

Nausea.

Curious, isn't it?

Tropical shell caught in Devon fishing
nets.

Perhaps it drifted in on a current,
dropped off a passing boat.

Oh, look.

Old, washed -up netting.

Just like what was used in the sabotage.
Hmm.

So, our environmental warrior.

She clearly has a motive. Access to
materials and no alibi.

Supposedly alone in a hut famous for
mermaid sightings.

But how did she get out there?

You know, the whole mermaid legend
thing.

Feels like someone's using it to put us
off the fence.

Kelby? Sir?

Can you request Dr. Rhodes' council
letters and compare them to Diana's,

On it, sir.

Also, we've traced that mermaid revenge
hashtag.

Started with a group called Stop
Stealing Our Seas. Last month, they

paddle -out protest led by local surfer
Elijah Moore.

Right. Good to know. Thank you, Kelby.

Oh, Shepton Abbott Police?

Anne speaking.

How can I help?

Oh, yes, just a moment.

It's for you.

Hmm.

Anything I can help with?

There is, actually, Anne.

The inspector wants to check our letter
with some from Dr Rhodes.

Could you get us some from the council?

Absolutely, I'll give it a try.

We'll just go back.

It'll take a few minutes.

Oh, now, come on. Hello, it's Councillor
Lloyd here.

Yes, could you put me through to
Councillor Sainz?

Angela, I think.

What was that Nishka's last name again?
Angela.

Why?

Don't you know?

Yes. Norwid. N -O -R -W -I -D.

Doing a search?

Just seeing if she's as pretty as you
think she is.

All I'm getting is cats in hats on
skateboards.

What are you talking about?

Ah, that's cute.

A kitten in a teacup.

You must have typed it in wrong.

No.

That's weird.

You're not kidding.

Who dresses a cat in sunglasses?

No, Jeff Simmons, the fisherman.

His bank records show he made a purchase
for custom alloys from alloyluke .com.

What's wrong with that?

Have you seen his truck?

It's ancient.

So why buy flash aluminium alloys?

Unless... No.

That wouldn't...

See you next time.

Your latest campaign's catchy too.

Mermaid's Revenge. Fits the local
folklore.

Jeff Simmons swears he saw a mermaid
last night.

Hard to say what Jeff saw.

But if the myth fits the moment, good
campaigns ride the current.

Unless it stops being a myth.

Diana Cooper received a threat this
morning. We don't do threats.

Mermaid's Revenge sounds like a call to
arms.

Could one of your followers have taken
things too far? We're not responsible

what random people do.

And Diana Cooper's no saint. She's
trying to privatise a coastline that

depend on. Yeah, but she is a person.

Who's scared?

Where were you both last night?

Newquay.

Surfcom.

State of the Neptune.

Got back this morning.

Mm -hm.

I stayed in the Grand.

Pizza and a film.

Okay,

thanks.

These fins?

Or... Oh, that's it.

Yes, print one of those off, please.

These are freediving fins. Freediving
fins.

So maybe Geoff didn't see a mermaid.

He didn't. You saw a freediver wearing
these.

In the bioluminescence, I suppose if the
two fins were together...

Could look like a tail.

Mermaid -ish, even.

I must say, the whole visual case,
Tracy, is very helpful.

Even if it was a free diver, how do you
haul weighted nets offshore without a

boat? Well, paddleboard.

Surfboard. Not with that weight. You'd
flip.

If they were a free diver, they could
dive down and pick up the phones one at

time. Uh, Kelby, um, check Lacey and
Elijah's alibi, please.

Maybe he freedives, too.

Sir. Yeah, but still.

You see, that is not the most puzzling
question.

You see, Jeff says the mermaid was there
one moment and gone the next. So, if it

wasn't a mermaid, but a freediver posing
as one, how on earth did they vanish in

a sea that lights up every move?

Perhaps Jeff lied.

Blinked. Or both.

Speaking of Jeff, I saw him pocketing a
fat wad of cash off of some bloke I

followed and saw him get into a brand
new truck.

Huh. New truck, easy cash.

I thought he was meant to be broke.

Needed extra subsidies.

He's being paid for something.

Yes, agreed.

Perhaps it's time we reel in our
fisherman.

You know, Humphrey, I think I'll join
you, if I may.

Yeah. I've been being stuck around here
all day, brother.

Numb to the brain.

Let's just drop the mermaid story, shall
we?

Who's paying you to sabotage the seaweed
lines?

No one.

So how do you afford the new truck?

The Coast Guard confirmed yours was the
only boat in the area.

Look, I don't care what you say.

I know what I saw.

She was there, and then she weren't.

Couldn't it have just been a diver,
Jeff?

Wearing these?

No chance.

It were real.

Magic.

She moved like she were part of the sea.

Got me thinking.

Maybe the sea sent her.

A warning.

Like the story says.

What were you drinking?

Or maybe add a bit of rum?

Why do you think the mermaid was a
warning, Jeff?

You've been taking a bit too much from
the sea recently, is that it?

Disrespect the sea and face the
consequences.

Look, I lands a few sea bass now and
then on the sly, who doesn't?

Sells up north a good price.

Cash and a hand off the books. Enough
for a new truck?

Yeah.

I've been stretching the pennies a while
now.

So, the late night fishing, the new
truck, the cash, all from poaching sea

off the books.

I swear on me mum's grave, I saw a
mermaid.

And I never touched that seaweed farm
neither.

Two oatmeal lattes. Thanks.

You still think you're the victim, don't
you?

But no one wants this expansion.

You should just drop it.

Right. That's enough.

Not in here.

Are you OK?

Do you want to sit?

I'm fine.

I'll get you a usual.

So what happens now? Jeff's admitted to
poaching but not to sabotage.

Well, he's still a witness to a crime.

His interview recording needs to be
transcribed and filed. Can I do

Oh, it might have to wait until
tomorrow.

Margot, perhaps Anne might be able to
help with some of our information

grouping. Oh, that sounds interesting.

otherwise known as filing.

What time did he arrive?

Happy to help.

From what I've seen of your filing so
far, it's in need of some good

reorganisation. And what time did he
leave?

So, Jeff is adamant he's not our
culprit.

But if it wasn't him, then the free
diver theory still holds.

So what about Elijah?

You know, young, confidence surfer. Or
Lacey, both good with a paddleboard.

It can't be.

Elijah was in Newquay. Hotel confirmed
it, lots of witnesses.

And Maud said Lacey was at home watching
Before Heaven with her.

My nan's obsessed.

Right. So, that leaves Mary.

Oh, sir, I got her council letters and
help me. Listen to this one.

If you don't drop the expansion, I will
be forced to take matters further.

and you may regret the consequences.

That sounds like a warning shot.

Yeah, the same tone, similar words.

Mary's got a record to a couple of
charges, some arrests, all protest

Goes back a fair way to the 80s. Yeah,
but her asthma, she couldn't freedive.

And whoever it is, it still begs the
question, how did they get away without

lighting up the sea?

Maybe she really was a mermaid.

How is our only suspect still a mermaid?

How someone can be the most

infuriating and yet the most amazing
person at exactly the same time

is a mystery.

Can I be honest?

Always.

I didn't get it.

When I met you both for the first time,
I couldn't see how you fit together.

No? Mm -mm. Well, I suppose you're not
alone in that.

Took Mum a while, too.

But now, you're so loved up and so
perfect for each other, it makes me want

vomit. Oh, I'm sorry we make you feel
that way.

No, don't be.

It's lovely.

I'm just jealous.

Are you?

Nah, you know me. One man band or...

One woman banders. Does that still work?

You know you never told me what happened
with you and Archie.

Didn't I?

No.

Nothing to tell.

It was a thing, then it wasn't.

Same old, same old.

Well, something must have happened.

Yeah, it did.

Me.

You know, opening up and letting someone
in isn't as scary as it sounds.

You think?

Did you ever talk to him about Zoe's
dad?

Sort of.

Oh, I hate it when you do that. Do what?

Look at me like a disappointed teacher
when I forgot my homework.

What happened to you was terrible.

And I've no idea how you got through it.

How you picked up the pieces and not
only survived, but brought up Zoe the

you did to be the most amazing person
that she is.

And I know that you loved Zoe's dad.

But it doesn't mean you can't be in love
again.

The thing is, he's still here.

He smiles at me every day, the second
Zoe walks into the room.

So whoever I'm with, I end up hating
them for not being him.

Archie never stood a chance.

Well, I suppose the trick is not hating
Archie for what he's not, but finding a

way to love him for what he is.

That went quite deep there. Did he pay
you to say that? Of course. How much?

Thousands. Good, because it's your
round.

Do you know if you told Archie any of
that, he'd get it?

No, that's way too scary.

I double dare you.

I'll think about it. But if I do a dare,
you've got to do one too.

Like what?

I don't know. I'll think of something.

When you get another drink.

I don't know why

I'm doing a dare. You haven't even done
yours yet. No, you have to go first.

It's the law.

Who? Me.

And I'm a detective sergeant. And what
would Humphrey say?

That his wife is so boring, she won't go
skinny dipping.

Take that back. No, you take it back.

I haven't got it.

Well, last one to get their kit off is
the kipper.

What? I don't know.

It just came out.

Ready?

Ready?

Oh, they might think we're mermaids.

Two pencils.

My mouth.

You're freezing.

I'm freezing.

It's time I went for a swim.

Not skinny dipping though.

That's what I used to do before.

Okay.

Do you think I'm boring?

Definitely not.

Sometimes I think I am.

Not just tonight, but always.

Like I've flattened out.

Sorry Good

news

Agnieszka is coming to visit Visit?

In person?

Yeah. Thought she'd lost her job.

She has. So how did she afford the
flight?

Tell me you didn't send money to someone
you've never met.

So what have I had?

I've been digging online.

Find anything?

No. Which is worse?

One social media account, no photos,
just cats.

And now he's sending her money.

Shall I have a word?

Best leave it with me.

Good

morning.

Good morning, Anne. Good morning.

Have you spoken to Martha this morning?

How did she seem to you?

She's fine.

Why? Well, she said something last
night.

About thinking she was boring.

Well, then it's... It's your job to help
her realise that she's not.

My job?

Right.

Here. Sir.

There was a bit of a crowd at the
council offices this morning.

Protest against Tidalife? Oh yes, it's
final appeal.

It should be over by now.

And yet, we are still no closer to
identifying our mermaid.

Free diver.

Diana Cooper's missing.

Diana told staff she'd be in early for
the appeal, but when they turned up at

nine, the office was empty.

They figured she'd already gone to the
council meeting, but she never showed.

Well, she wouldn't miss that willingly.
It's too important.

Yeah, well, I checked and the appeal was
dismissed when she didn't show up.

Well, car's still here.

No forced entry, no struggle.

Yeah, they use key cards here. Should
show her entry and exit times, just

waiting on the data.

Hmm. She was mid -email.

And didn't finish it. Why leave your
phone?

Either she was planning on coming back
or didn't get a chance.

Something interrupted her.

What's that sound?

Oh, got the keycard log.

She swiped in at 8 .10, out 8 .37.

So where'd she go after that? And did
she have a choice?

Sir?

Looks like she was a regular.

Maybe she stopped there this morning.

Kelby, can we get this unlocked, please?
Sure.

Margot. Sir, we've checked her house,
friends, hospital, nothing.

No sign of Diana at all.

Delightful. My fail -proof hangover
remedy from Java.

The raw chilli is the key.

I think I'll be cured out of beer.

October 12th?

Can't. Wine festival. Tool key.

Okay.

17th, 18th? Might be seeing Nigel.

Can you shift it? I mean, my parents are
dying to meet you. Thanks, Zoe.

I'll check.

Paradise might be wearing thin.

Oh.

Oh.

I'll be out back.

How are you feeling?

Hmm.

I'm here about Diana Cooper.

She's missing.

Missing? She was just here, right after
I opened.

How was she?

Stressed about her appeal.

There was something yesterday, a nasty
exchange with a surfer in here. Young

guy, dark hair.

Sounds like Elijah.

Anything else from this morning, even
small?

She was on her phone, mentioned someone,
Dr Rhodes, hounding her

about the expansion.

You're sure?

Yeah, positive.

Why?

Diana was dead set on going to the
appeal.

Then she vanishes right before it.

Things aren't always what they appear.

If anything more comes up, call the
station?

Of course.

Yep.

Yep, I'm on my way.

Where's Anne?

Margot?

No idea.

Sir, a text came in at 8 .33am. Unknown
number.

If you want the truth about this
sabotage, meet me at Hawks Hut, 9am.

8 .33.

8 .33. She's right down at 8 .37.

So that's where she was going.

And we all know who uses Hawks Hut.

Hmm?

Dr. Rhodes, where's Diana Cooper?

I haven't seen Diana. Why?

Why? What's going on?

She's missing.

She didn't show up for the appeal.

She received a message from an
unregistered number asking her to meet

here. And here you are.

You think I kidnapped her?

Harmed her? The letters you wrote to the
council were pretty threatening. I was

simply considering action against
Tideline Farms.

You've got a record? Yeah, but not for
violence.

I'm a peaceful protester.

So why are you here? I told you
yesterday.

This is my base. I was here all night.

I promise you.

I have no idea where Diana is.

Mind if we check in there?

Be my guest.

Thank you.

Sid made that.

Maud's husband.

It's too hard for Maud and Lacey to come
up here these days.

So I keep it as a memory of him.

Anything?

Diana's not here.

So where is she?

She sells seashells by the seashore.

Jeff admitted to the poaching, but stuck
to the mermaid tale.

Mary Rhodes was just in the wrong place.

Elijah and Lacey both have alibis.

What are we missing?

Mary Fishook. Found him in New Zealand.

New Zealand.

A power shell.

Only found in New Zealand.

Sacred to the Maori for remembrance,
grief.

This? This isn't protest. It's personal.
Driven by loss.

Look, to keep things sustainable, the
law says that power can only be

by free divers.

Elijah and Lacey.

But both have alibis.

Elijah may be. His alibi was verified.

But Lacey told us she was with her
grandmother, Maud, which we accepted

we couldn't see a motive.

But if she had a motive, then it could
be a lie?

Which means Maud must also have lied.

To protect her granddaughter.

So what if Maud knew that the shell we
found in the nest was Lacey's, so she

told us they were together?

No idea.

It wasn't true.

Jeff! It's convinced that he saw a
mermaid. But what I think he actually

Lacey, a free diver, avoiding him.

The bioluminescent and a lot of rum did
the rest.

But how did she get away without being
seen in bioluminescent?

Look who I found stuck in the store
cupboard.

The door slammed down.

I couldn't open it.

The wind must have blown it shut.

That door's always been dodgy.

I tried shouting for a while, but I got
a bit tired.

We're so sorry, Anne. We couldn't hear
you. We thought you'd left and gone

Precisely!

We assumed that Lacey swam away somehow.

But what if she never actually left?

Lacey had swum out to the seaweed farm
to freedive for stones to weigh the net

down.

When Jeff appeared, Lacey tried to flee
underwater, but realised her movements

were lit by the bioluminescence.

So... She did something only a freediver
could.

She stayed still.

Held her breath for several long
minutes.

An ingenious vanishing act.

We thought she swam away, but she
disappeared by staying exactly where she

So what if Diana did the same thing?

What if the text about Hawk's Hut wasn't
for her?

It was for us.

A distraction.

The power was for Lacey's grandfather.

Remember?

He collected shells, made wind chimes
with them.

When I was by Diana's window this
morning, I heard wind chimes. The same

ones at Hawke's Hut.

But I couldn't quite place it before.

It was so faint.

You used to sneak into these tunnels
when we were kids.

The tunnels below the offices are
perfect hiding spots.

And not just for teenage parties.

When Rin's threats and sabotage failed
to scare Diana off, Lacey turned to more

drastic measures.

Lacey grew up there.

Before Tideline Farms took over the old
fishing warehouse, she knew his secrets.

Like the mermaid of Shifton Abbot, Lacey
set her musical yield.

Diana took the bait, followed the sound
of wind chimes.

Beautiful.

Alluring.

Lacey didn't want to harm her.

Let me out!

Just trap her. Please, let me out! Like
a fish in a net.

She sent the text, then swiped Diana's
keycard to make it look like she left.

So Lacey and Diana both vanished by
staying put.

Lacey wove us a mermaid's tail.

So we chased the lure while the truth
waited, hidden in the depths below.

Go!

Let's try down here. On that way? On
that way.

Let's go.

There's a door.

Diana? Do you hear that?

Diana?

He thought it was gone for good.

Your grandfather loved the sea.

Loved collecting shells.

You scattered his ashes just past the
seaweed farm.

And the shell is for him.

Is that why he did all of this?

Picnics on the boat.

Grandad diving for shells.

That stretch of water was ours.

I meant to take this to where we
scattered his ashes.

I'm not against the seaweed farms, but
the expansion?

I checked the map.

You wouldn't be able to visit Grandad
again.

And it's not just me. It's everyone.

The sea is our life.

And Diana?

I didn't want to hurt her.

You just needed her to miss that
meeting.

If she couldn't get approval for the
expansion, well, it couldn't happen.

I promised Gran that they'd always be
together at the end.

Tideline Farms would have made that
impossible.

Drink?

Yeah. Great.

First round on me?

Sorry.

Another time.

Bye, sir.

Sir? Same.

A few things to tie up here.

Yeah.

Humphrey. Could I have a word?

Um, if it's about Martha, Anne, I've had
an idea. It's all in hand.

Oh, no.

That's good.

No, it's, uh... It's delicate.

OK, can it wait? Then I'm a bit snowed
under.

It's about James Smith.

Right, well, if James Smith has another
demand of me, I'd like a hazard warning

first, and maybe a siren. And if this is
about me hurrying up and firing one of

my team due to an impossibly small
budget, then kindly tell him I've

perished in a freak paperwork avalanche.

I'm sorry.

I had no idea.

I can't wait to bring Agnieszka here.
She'll love it. Proper English pub.

Kelby, look, this is awkward, but I've
been wanting to have a chat with you

about Agnieszka.

What about her?

I'm just concerned it's moving a bit
fast.

Why?

There's hardly anything about her
online.

Just cats.

So she likes cats.

It's not a crime, is it? No.

It's just...

Something feels off.

I've seen this kind of thing before.

What kind of thing?

Someone online says all the right
things.

They find your spot spots and use them.

Think I'm easy to trick?

You have to be trusting.

Agnieszka listens.

Really listens.

She doesn't treat me like a child. Then
stop acting like one.

There. That's it, isn't it? No, no, no.
Kelby, I didn't mean that. You've never

seen me as an eagle.

Not once.

I'm just the idiot you've got to keep an
eye on. That's not fair.

No, what's not fair is you deciding
what's best for me before I even get a

At least Agnieszka believes in me.

Which is a lot more than I could say for
you.

This was about a swim.

Not just a swim.

Just getting in.

Why? Because you're not boring.

We're not boring.

But what if people see?

Take a risk.

Isn't that the fun?

It was draping, like a mummy, she was
stressed.

Lovely heart, to take away all her
stress. Archie?

Hi, Esther.

Archie?

Did Anne?

Um...

No, not in your event.

Oh, I'm just thinking.

We haven't laughed enough lately.

I'm sorry.

These evaluations have got me so
stressed.

Yeah, that too.

You're always...

Holding everything together and you make
it look so easy.

I just don't want to lose sight of you.

Of us.

The real us.

We love an adventure.

I mean, I... Oh, no.

A man was drugged and painted green and
covered in ivy. Looks like you're a

green man. He wasn't anyone from here.
Got a present for you. It's an eviction

notice. He wants to build 30 houses
here.

Are you suggesting Mr. Outram assaulted
his own worker? He's capable of that.

You seem to know a lot about him. My
brother.

They've assaulted my groundsman and now
this. How long before they kill someone?

You came to the house the other night.
I'm sorry, I didn't realise you had

someone there.

Agnieszka's supposed to be flying in
today.

I know what you're thinking. That she's
catfishing you out of your savings.

You understand that tomorrow is the
absolute deadline. I must have your

decision.
