03x01 - Ocean

[bunniefuu]

JEREMY: Hello, chaps.
I hope you'll treat old Rita gently.

Let me help you with your stuff.
Oh, thanks.

You're really helping us out.

Our pleasure, old chap.

Col's not been himself

the last couple of times
we've taken him out.

I swear by sitting on a piece
of brown paper for motion sickness.

Works every time, Col.

No, I'm Peter, ex-Navy.

Col's our boat,
The Christopher Columbus.

Conked out yesterday.
Oh!

Oh! I see.

What are you up to again?

A spot of scuba-diving
and a champagne lunch?

SCOFFS
We wish!

We've got
the government contract for the area

to check if the sea bed's
suitable for mining.

What is sea bed mining?

Well, it's basically
to see if there's minerals

like cobalt, zinc,
manganese and nickel.

Used in the manufacture
of smart phones and electric cars.

If we find any,

a huge operation's
been given the go-ahead

to extract it.

Sounds great for the local economy!

CHUCKLES
Oh, Alec! Alec!

CHUCKLES

Listen, can you go through
Rita's quirks for, um,

Peter here, please.

ALEC: Sure.
Great.

Ah... a little cappuccino
down in the harbour, darling?

Oh, make mine a G&T.

It's 5 o'clock somewhere.
Come on.

ALEC: Mr Lloyd James,

I need to go and help my father
with the fish today

because my brother is ill.

Oh, well,
I hope he gets better soon.

Thank you.
I will clean Rita when I come back.

Very good, thank you!

Come on, darling.

JANE: You all right?
You've been very quiet recently.

SIGHS
Me and Marie.

Sick of me being away all the time.

Mine was like that.
They get over it eventually.

You've been divorced twice, Gary.

If I wanted advice from you,
I'd ask for it, mate.

Well, maybe she's not into
beer bellies any more.

Gary! Wind your neck in.

I'm only messing!

Don't rise to him.
You know what he's like.

Marie will be OK.

Thanks, Jane.

Are you ready?
As ever.

Do you know? I am convinced
Caron waits until I order lunch

before he calls you.
JEAN SIGHS

I'll make it up to you!

RINGTONE PLAYS
Ooh.

Ah, it's Claudie.
JEAN CHUCKLES

Go on, you wait in the car.

I won't be long.
All right.

How's my favourite girl?

DOM CHUCKLES

Are you? Where are you?

Thank you for getting here
so quickly, Jean.

What happened?

An experienced diver
has died in the water.

Oh! That's awful.

And I need your help.

Er, I'm not that well up
on deep sea diving, Caron.

With this.
Oh.

The deceased diver
had this in his bag.

This is a Charles II,



Value?

At least
two and a half thousand euros.

These are the deceased's colleagues.

I'm not.

So, who are you?

This is Alec.

And this brave young man
attempted CPR on Gary.

And what do you do?

I work in the harbour,
cleaning the boats.

May I ask you something?

Were you diving for treasure?

Treasure? No.

I'm a governmental scientist
testing the ocean bed.

That coin find
was completely accidental.

Quite the lucky find, though, eh?

Is it?

I'm sorry,
that was really insensitive, I...

I-I-I'm sorry. Er...

So, um, do you think
the death was suspicious?

Well, that's what
I'm trying to find out.

He was only his early 40s,
a very experienced diver.

It doesn't seem right to me.

You need to inform the authorities
about this coin.

Let's keep it between ourselves
for the moment.

The local council will go wild,
and I have a case to solve.

You don't want a bureaucratic drama?
Not just yet.

HE MOUTHS: Thank you.

It was this coin.
It was...

..it was amazing.
I'm sure there's more down there.

What's wrong?

It's Claudie.

Is she OK?
Yeah, yeah.

Never been better.

Oh, right.

You must be missing her.
When's she back?

She's not.

What?

She's met someone.

Oh.

I mean... I'm dead happy for her.
You know, she sounds...

Well, she sounds like she's in love.

Well, of course
you're happy for her.

It doesn't mean to say
you're not gutted for you.

You know, when she was born,

I remember holding her in my arms
and telling her,

"I am never gonna let you go."

Look, I'm not a mother,

but isn't letting them go,
letting them fly?

I suppose it is, yeah.

And, you know,
it's twice the blow for you

cos you've been both parents.
Yeah.

I didn't really have
a lot of choice in that, did I?

But being mother and father
to a little girl,

well, it's tough,
and you've been brilliant.

Have I, though?

Well, she doesn't wanna come home,
does she?

Oh, come on! She is living her life.
Falling in love!

I think that's the bit
that worries me most.

That's a bit
you should be most excited about!

And remember,

she's always got a home
to come back to.

Yeah.

SHE TUTS
Cheer up, for God's sake.

SEAGULLS SQUAWK

CAR ENGINE STARTS

WATER FOUNTAIN TRICKLES

I mean it, Jeremy!
Darling, please!

It's either me or her.

Oh, don't you think
you are overreacting a little?

"Overreacting"?

Two people have died
on the same boat.

Our boat.

It's cursed and it has got to go!

She is not an "it"!
And she's called Rita.

Oh, for goodness sake!

And she's not cursed.

We did...
Ah, Dominic!

Can you help me out here a bit,
old chap?

Look, I'm-I'm sorry, Jeremy.
I agree with Judith.

Too much of a coincidence, really,

I was thinking
the same thing meself.

JEREMY GROANS

Can you MOT a boat?

Erm, engine's an engine,
I'll have a go.

It's for the best.

Come on, darling.

JEREMY SIGHS,
MUTTERS

Dad?!
What are you doing 'ere?

You're not due till tomorrow.

Builders turned up a day early.

HE CHUCKLES
Wonders'll never cease!

I've not changed your bed yet.

Cooper's coming over for dinner
tonight.

Don't worry about that.
I'll be quiet as a mouse.

You won't even know I'm there.
All right, Dad.

Oh, 'ey! D'ya know?

I once got the worst food poisoning
in my life eating a baguette.

Dodgy butter.

I was sick as a dog for days.

Thank you, Trevor!

Ah.

WEARILY: No vinegar!

GLORIA SIGHS DEEPLY

Are you all right, love?

Cooper's staying over tonight.

Oh, I see.

I just wanted a night together.

Can't really relax with me dad
snoring through the wall.

Bit of a passion k*ller.

How do I say no to me dad?

PHONE CHIMES
Excuse me.

Mm.
Are you all right, love?

It's Caron.

It looks like
that diver was m*rder*d.

Oh, that's awful.

I'm gonna have to go.

Yeah, of course.

See you, love.

I've got to go and see Caron.

Oh, OK.
Will you be wanting that?

Yes! I will.

There's some fries left over there,
if you want them?

Ooh, lovely!

Let me know if you need any help.

Don't I always?

Obviously, there was water
on his lungs,

but that's not all.

The mouthpiece from his air pipe
is missing.

Look.
Oh!

I think it had something to do
with that coin.

Well, I bet you a hundred euros
there's more coins down there.

Sunken treasure
never comes in singles.

Now, the question is,
who claims ownership?

What do you mean?

Well, submerged treasure
is owned by the state.

Well, it is in France, anyway.

But that doesn't stop people
diving for it.

Hunting for treasure on shipwrecks,
it's big business.

Are you suggesting they were there
to explore a shipwreck?

Explore. Or exploit.

But what would be the point
of k*lling one of your lead divers?

Well, if the mouthpiece is missing,

somebody wanted him dead.
Mm.

I think we need to talk to them.

"We"?

If 17th-century coins
are a motive for m*rder,

I'm going to need your help.

Oh! Pleasure.

Let's speak to Peter first.

OK.

I'm just a boat driver.

If I'm honest, it's been a while
since I sailed a tiddler like that.

I'm used to bigger boats.

Did you see either of them
prep their equipment?

No, er...

I never get involved with all that.

So, how long have you known
Gary and Jane?

Oh, years. On and off.

I-I've not seen them for a while,

and to be honest, I was surprised
they were still working together.

Oh? Why's that?

There was no love lost between them,

I'd heard.
What you mean?

Rumours were that not that long ago
an Aegean trip,

Jane found some ancient
Greek artefact on the sea bed.

Artefact?

A very rare terracotta amphora.

I remember the name
cos it was in the work's newsletter.

A terracotta amphora?

Er, basically a water jar.

Ah.

Anyway, Gary made out
it was him who found it

and got a large promotion.

Everyone knew it was Jane's find,
but HE took all the glory.

I don't know the full story,

but I do know...
FOOTSTEPS APPROACH

..Gary was always a slimy one.

Can I get anyone a drink?

Er, this is Marie, my wife.

No, thank you.
I'm fine, thank you.

That will be all... for now.

Thank you.

Let's get her in for questioning.
Pardon?

Jane! You need to question her!
About what?

About what Peter's just told us!

Hearsay about a past argument
does not prove anything.

Holding a grudge
is a very strong motive.

I will question her in good time.

But I've got an idea.

Jean, I need your help,
not interference.

You asked for my expertise,

and that's exactly
what I'm going to give ya!

DOM: Say it again slowly.

JEAN SIGHS

Right.

The mouthpiece was missing.

What if Jane saw Gary
find the gold coin,

then tampered with his mouthpiece
to... to k*ll him

with plans of going back to collect
the rest of the coins for herself?

I mean, it's a strong theory.

So, will you do it?

What do you want me to do, again?

I want you to pretend
to be a coin dealer.

What the hell do I know about coins?

Not a lot, I assume,
which is why I'm gonna teach you.

HE SIGHS
Why can't you do it again?

Well, she knows me.
She saw me and Caron at the boat.

She never met you.

SIGHS
OK. Yes.

All right.
Let's start practising.

Are you joining me, Cooper?

LIQUID POURS
I'm fine, thanks, Trevor.

WRYLY: I'm driving... now.

That's why I never bothered.
Pardon?

Learning to drive.

The thought of it
affecting a tipple -

not for me.
CHUCKLES

So, how much do you make a week
taxi driving?

Dad! Don't ask
such personal questions,

it's really rude.

Let's just say I make enough to keep
your daughter happy, Trevor.

Good luck with that, kid.

She's just like her mother
sometimes. You know?

Nag, nag, nag.

Maybe you've had enough, eh, Dad?

See what I mean?
You need to watch yourself.

She can't even hold her drink.
Dad, I'm sat right 'ere!

OK. I'm gonna get going.

I'll see you soon, Trevor.

Cheers, Cooper.

I'm so sorry.

You have
nothing to say sorry for.

I'll come back round
when your dad has left.

SOFTLY: Come 'ere.

'Ey up, you two, get a room!
CHUCKLES

THEY SIGH SOFTLY

Why do you have to do that?

I was only joking. You know that.

You've already got a room.

Not that. You know Cooper
just left early because of you?

Well, what did I do?

What do you always do?

Say what the hell you want
without thinking about anyone else.

Here we go again, nagging away.

Do you know what, Dad?

This is my first chance of 'appiness
for years.

I'm putting me foot down.

You sound just like your mother.
Exactly!

I'm sick of being the parent.

I feel like I've been
looking after you since Mum died,

when it should have been
the other way round.

I'm not letting you
ruin this for me.

I want you to pack your things.

Where am I meant to go?

I've only got half of roof
on my maisonette.

I'm sorry, Dad.

I've just had enough.

I-I... I'll see you tomorrow, Dad.

JEAN: 'Say it again.'

Only if you promise
not to laugh at this time.

I promise.

Are you ready?
Ready.

Numismatist.
JEAN LAUGHS WHEEZILY

You know what might help?
What?

If you tell me what the word is
in English.

It IS in English!

No, it's not. That-That...
You're getting a French accent, you!

Am I 'eck!
CHUCKLES

Look, it's called numismatics,

which is the study of coins
and currency units,

and it stemmed from the French word
numismatic

which, is in itself,

derived from the Latin word
numismatis.

Ooh. Dead clever, you, aren't you.

Right, come on,
let's go through it again.

OK.
What's the coin?

Charles II gold guinea.

Date?


Carat?


Very good.

Right. Are you ready?

SIGHS SHAKILY
Yeah, ready.

Let's call Jane, then.

PHONE PAD TAPS

PROLONGED TONE

It's ringing.

Mm-hm. Hmm.

Oh, hello! Yes, I got your number
from a friend in the police.

I'm very interested
in the Charles II gold guinea

your unfortunate colleague
found today.

Yeah, I were just wondering
if there were any more?

Yeah?

Yeah, I wonder if we could meet
to discuss?

Shall we say, um...
SHE MOUTHS: La Couronne.

..La Couronne...
MOUTHS: Midday.

..midday?

Excellent.

Can I just check
if you've had any other interest?

Yeah. I don't wanna be messed about,
you see.

This is a very serious offer
and I am a very serious numismatist.

STIFLES LAUGHTER

OK. Brilliant.

Midday tomorrow?
La Couronne. Thank you.

JEAN LAUGHS

You were brilliant!

I knew you could say it!
I nearly did the voice.

I know, I nearly laughed out loud,
THEY LAUGH

I quite like you being my teacher.

LAUGHTER SUBSIDES,
SOFT CHUCKLE

Well, there-there's your phone.
That went well, didn't it?

Yeah, it did, yeah.
See you tomorrow, then.

Yeah, no, I'll see you tomorrow.

Yeah.
DOM CLEARS THROAT

FOUNTAIN WATER TRICKLES

DOORBELL RINGS

Are you expecting anyone?

Why on Earth
would I be expecting anyone?

JEREMY SIGHS

But whoever it is, get rid of them.

POINTEDLY: It's Thursday.

What on Earth do you want?!

I had nowhere else to go.

JEREMY STAMMERS

Right, you know what to say, then?

Numismatics,
numismatics, numismatic.

You have to say other words, too,
Dom.

Don't worry. I will be fine.

You look very handsome in your...
Roll-neck?

Roll-neck, yeah.
It's good, in it? Rockin' it.

Very nice, yeah.
Thank you.

Oh, look!

WHISPERS: Action stations.
Good luck.

Hello.

Is it me you're looking for?

Big Lionel Richie fan [?]

What?

Nothing. Are you the numismatist?

I am.

Let's get down to business.

You said there were more coins?

Almost definitely.

"Almost definitely".
What does that mean?

I'd need another dive to confirm.

How long is it going to take because
I've got buyers waiting?

I'm not sure.
I need to get a boat organised.

You have a week.

I'll ring in a few days,
see how things are progressing.

You have my number.
Yeah.

But I warn you, do not let me down.

I'll do my best.

You're brilliant! Proper hardcore!

It's the roll-neck!
Did you hear me, was I all right?

Yeah, yeah,
you were brilliant, yeah.

I'm going to call Caron.
Right, OK.

Come on!

JEREMY SIGHS

Look! Look up there!

What are the neighbours
going to think?!

Darling,
we live in a walled chateau.

We haven't spoken to our neighbours
in the 35 years we've been here.

Well, that's not the point!
And-And what on Earth is he doing

in bed at this hour of the day?!

Well, he's got nowhere to go,
darling. Gloria's thrown him out.

Which demonstrates
just how awful he is!

His own daughter has thrown him out.
He's got to go!

JANE ON RECORDING:
'I'll need another dive to confirm.'

'How long's it gonna take?
Cos I've got buyers waiting.

'I'm not sure.
I need to get a boat organised.'

'You have a week.

'I'll ring in a few days,
see how things are progressing.'

'You have my number!'

'Yeah.'

I suggest that you tampered
with your colleague's mouthpiece.

Got rid of it to cover your tracks,

so could go back in the near future
to keep all the coins to yourself.

You-You couldn't be
further from the truth.

I also have information
that in the past job,

Gary stole a certain
Greek artefact from you?

And took all the credit
for its discovery.

You are just waiting
for your moment of revenge.

Pete's been chatting, has he?

Well, he knows nothing.

That Greek artefact stuff,

it was just a story
that me and Gary made up

to cover our backs.
What do you mean?

We'd already sold four amphoras

before we put the last one
into official hands.

I do not understand?

That's our business, you see?

Yes, I'm a scientist...

..and Gary and I work as...

I mean, worked...

..testing the sea bed for minerals
for the government.

This has proven to be
a convenient cover story

for whenever we find treasure.

We take most of it...

..then we give in a piece or two
so we never look suspicious.

How many times have you done this?

Oh, we've only done it
a handful of times.

But, yes...

..guilty as charged.

But why would I k*ll him?

I needed him
for the whole endeavour.

I can't dive on my own.

Did she confess?

She and Gary
were professional treasure hunters.

What?!

They had an agreement.

Kept some for themselves,

and gave a little to the authorities
so they didn't look greedy.

Well, is that ill*gal?

Only if you get caught.

She needed Gary to dive with.

So, why would she k*ll
the key to her fortune?

Precisely.

JEAN SIGHS HEAVILY

I'm not ruling her out just yet.

There is one more thing.

What you did to get the recording
could be seen as coercive.

Surely, that only applies
when you're a police officer?

Exactly.

Look,
I know you are trying to be helpful,

but she does turn out
to be the m*rder*r,

gaining a confession
by using coercive control

could weaken the case considerably.

Oh, sorry. I...

..I didn't think of that.

We both have our areas of expertise.

Let's try to stick to them.

Sorry.
Sorry, Andre.

I will keep you informed.

Can't win with some people, can you?

JEAN SIGHS

Look, I'm gong to meet Gloria
down the harbour for lunch.

She's fixing Jerry's boat.
Do you fancy joining us?

Can we pop into mine on the way
there so I can get changed?

I'm melting in this monkey suit.

Yeah, you're just too hot in it.

Yeah, I'm...

Oh, very good.

Thank you.

I might wear it more often
if that's the reaction! Ooh!

We bring lunch!

'Ey! Brilliant timing!

Oh, do you want to ask him
if he wants to join us?

Alec, would you like some lunch?

Are you sure?

Yeah, there's enough here
to feed the Titanic!

That will be great. Thank you.

All this bread, and no knife.

I'll go and get one
from my fishing hut.

Won't be a moment.
OK.

Well, I'll set the table, then.

OK.
Oh, lovely.

I kicked me dad out.
You what?

I feel awful.

But he was driving me mad
and driving Cooper away.

Where's he gone?

No idea.

Has he not rung?

Not yet.
Only happened last night.

Oh! Blimey!

Well, you must have had
a good reason.

SHE SIGHS

I'll never change
the way my dad behaves,

but I can change the way I behave.

That's the only way
things will change.

That is very wise. Very wise.

Thank you very much.

THEY CHUCKLE

There you go.

Ooh! This is a bit special!

Pardon?
It's nice.

What do you mean?

Well, it's the Higonokami knife
from the Kanekoma factory in Japan.

Higonokami means, um, Lord of Higo.

What's that?

Well, it's an aristocratic title,

er, historically given
to very powerful samurai.

It's just the one my father uses.

It belonged to his father.

Ooh. Well, it's a lovely heirloom,
isn't it?

My ancestors have fished
in these waters for generations.

being a boat boy
is just a side hustle.

I'm a fisherman at heart.

Well, I can tell you love your job.

I do.

I always say having a job you like
is not like going to work, is it?

I was exactly the same when
I discovered the combustion engine.

What? You discovered
the combustion engine?

LAUGHTER

We have a family restaurant, too.

It's the best fish in town,
you must go.

It's called Lucienne
on the Rue de Garde.

Mention my name for discounts.
Ooh. I like a discount.

Ooh, thank you.

My father still does all the cooking
in the restaurant.

He's an amazing man.

His ability to love his work

and provide for his family
at the same time

has always taken my breath away.

Especially for the ocean as well.

He has passed that on to me.

Feeling the swell of the water
for me...

..is as vital as breathing.

WATER SLOSHES

Wow! That's amazing!

Eh? Say that again.

The deepest part of Earth's oceans
are known as the Hadal zone.

Hadal as in Hades, as in
the Greek God of the underworld?

Exactly. Consisting of deep trenches
and troughs,

it's nearly seven miles deep.

I won't even go in the deep end
at the swimming pool.

ALL LAUGH

I better get back to work.

Thank you so much
for a fantastic lunch.

We need to thank you. I've never
learnt so much about the sea.

Hey, let's have that NASA chat
next time. For sure.

I must get back to the restaurant.

Goodbye.
Bye.

I better get back to work, too,
guys.

Got a new friend, 'ave you?
Shut up!

It's just nice to have a well-read,
intelligent conversation.

I beg your pardon!

All right, geeky conversation.

'Ey!

Look what I've just found
in the engine!

This must be Gary's phone!

Who's Gary?

The man who died!

We need to get this to Caron.
Yeah.

Did you find anything?

Yes. We've downloaded
all the call history.

Oh, that's clever.

We are the police, Dom.

There is a lot of contact from
a contact called "Cranberry Girl."

Her messages are quite flirtatious.

Ooh!

And we also have several voicemails.

IRISH ACCENT: 'The good news is,
I can't wait to see you later.

'The bad news is,
I can't stay out too long

'because he's back tonight.'

Play that again.

'The good news is,
I can't wait to see you later.

'The bad news...'
I recognise that Irish accent.

That's Peter's wife!

Gary was having an affair
with Peter's wife!

What if Peter had found out?

Now, that's a motive.

PHONE CHIMES

Oh! I've gotta go, sorry,
I've got an airport run. Sorry. Yep.

OK, see you later.

I think we need to talk to Marie.

He said sometimes you don't even
want to touch the strings

cos it's like they're playing
themselves.

Oh, thank you, darling.
Ooh, lovely.

A little sustenance
before you leave.

Very kind of you.

Sorry you can't stay any longer,
old chap.

We'd totally forgotten
about our guests!

Not a problem,
and thank you for last night.

Really kind of you.

What on Earth
do you think you are doing?

A mate of mine works at the factory.
I've got six bottles in here.

CLOCK TICKS

One of my very favourite tipples.
I haven't had any for ages.

Jeremy can't have cream.

I'm a martyr to my acid reflux.

So, I can tempt you?

Oh, go on, then!

Darling?! Aunty Grace
will be arriving soon!

Oh, she's not gonna be here
for a while, it's fine!

Tell me that story again?

Anything for a beautiful lady
like you.

JEREMY SIGHS

Oh, hello! Er, Pete's not here.
He is at sea for a couple of days.

Maybe you can help us?

Me? What can I do?

Do you think Peter would have been
upset enough to m*rder Gary

if he'd found out about your affair?

Oh, God.

Peter has no idea. Honestly.

How do you know?

Cos I was very discreet.

It was just a stupid fling.

Marie, if Peter has found out
about your affair,

he is now our number one suspect.

I swear, he knows nothing.

He would have said something
if he knew.

When is he home?

Tomorrow night.

I will be back.

BABY CRIES

He's in the middle of the ocean.
We can get him on GPS.

He won't be able to go anywhere
without us knowing.

I'll put someone on harbour watch
for when he gets back.

PHONE CHIMES

Judith! Aunty Grace
will be here any minute.

MUSIC STARTS
JEREMY: No!

Would the lady care to dance?

No-No, she wouldn't.

JUDY SLURS
The lady would love to.

JEREMY: Oh, for goodness sake!

ANSWER MACHINE TONE

Gloria, I'm at my wit's end
with your father.

Call me back immediately, er,
when you get this message.

So, do they just get on a boat

and arrest Peter
in the middle of the ocean?

Oh, I don't think Caron
is that Hawaii 5-0.

No. They'll just tag where he is
and then wait for him at the dock.

What a homecoming, eh?

Blimey.

Oh! Gloria's been on the phone.

Trevor is at the Chateau,

apparently he's tearing up
the carpet with Judith,

and Jeremy is having none of it.

But I think I've got a little idea
that might help her out, though.

Dom...? Dom?

Are you all right, love?

Oh, sorry. I blummin' love
a fish tank, me.

Surprising, really, I've not had the
best of luck with them in the past.

Go on?
Well, I had this neighbour once

who asked me to look after
his albino catfish.

His what?
Albino catfish.

"Alphonse."

Pink eyes, slightly too close
together, but...

Anyway, first time
I went to feed him,

he was floating
on the top of the water.

JEAN GASPS
Oh, no.

Yeah. I went everywhere
trying to get a replacement,

but apparently they're very rare,
so...

..in the end I just...

I made it look like an accident.

How?

Stuffed his face
into the air pump pipe.

SHE LAUGHS
You did what?

Well, I'd had a drink.
It seemed like a good idea, really.

JEAN LAUGHS

That's awful!

What did your friend say
when he came back?

He said, "Why have you stuffed my
fish's face into an air pump pipe?"

JEAN LAUGHS

Good evening.
Would you like to order any drinks?

Er, yes, please.

We're friends of Alec.

He, erm, asked us
to introduce ourselves.

Any friend of Alec.

Could I have a closer look at
the fish tank? I love tropical fish.

Of course.

The owner is a big collector
of rare tropical fish.

Did they ever eat each other?

Pardon?

Eels. Eels eat each other,
don't they?

How do you even know that?

I heard on the radio, once.

You put a load of eels
in a fish tank,

one by one they disappear
until eventually

there's just one massive, eel left.

What's the one with the googly eyes
called?

Ah, that is the fugu, or pufferfish.

Oh?
In Japan, they eat them.

One drop of venom is enough to
paralyse and cause cardiac arrest.

You need a specially-trained chef
with a licence to cook them.

Why would anyone wanna eat that?

Oh, no, we don't over here. No.

They're just nice to look at.

We're very lucky to have a pair.

It's little and it's large.

MAN CALLS OUT
Oh, one moment.

There's the little one.

Littlie, in't he?
Yeah.

Now, where's large?
Pop-pop.

Pop-pop, pop.

Oh!

We have to leave.
Eh?

I've not eaten.
Yeah.

Cos?
Let's go.

I've got to check on something.

One of these
must belong to Alec's family.

Jean!

It's that Japanese knife he had.

JEAN: Wow, it's-it's open.

Hold your nose.

What?

Alec.

What have you done?

SHE GROANS

Jean...

Gary's mouthpiece!

CHURCH BELL TOLLS

What the hell am I doing here?

Your knowledge of the ocean
was staggering today, Alec.

Thank you.

As I told you,
the ocean runs in my blood.

You did.

And we protect what we love
at all costs.

Don't we?

In answer to your question
as to why you're here...

I think you k*lled Gary.

What?!

And I think I know how you did it.

This is how I see it.

You used the poison
from the missing fugu fish

from the restaurant.

I think your intention was
to k*ll both divers...

'Alec!'

..but you only managed
to get to one snorkel mouthpiece.

The poison worked in 30 minutes.

ANGUISHED CRIES

Please!
Let me try.

And when you administered CPR...

that was your way
of making the mouthpiece disappear.

JANE SOBS

Have you got anything to say, Alec?

We found your hut.

We also found the fish.

Shame to waste
all that precious poison, eh?

Were you gonna use it again?

The fugu poison seemed...

..appropriate.

Sea bed mining involves intensive,
destructive processes

and we have no idea
of the footprint it will leave

on the environment.

We could lose parts of our planet
before we truly know them.

How can I watch the sea bed
be ripped up for greed?

Delicate ecosystems destroyed.

The exploitation of the deep ocean
could grow even worse

if sea bed mining moves forward.

It's an habitance
absolutely essential

to keeping our planet healthy.

My grandfather taught me
never to take the water for granted.

We would fish together

and thank the ocean
every time for every catch.

I had to protect my family's waters
at all costs.

For me to bear witness
to such destruction...

..would have my grandfather
spinning in his grave.

You can now declare the coin
to the local authorities.

If I do...

..then that bay will become
a divers' tourist attraction.

Good for the local economy.

But at what cost?

The government will keep ripping up
the sea beds to find more treasure.

There'll be no more fishing,
no more wildlife.

JEAN SIGHS

There must be another option?

JOLLY CHATTER

TREVOR MUTTERS

Hello, all!

Hello, Dad.

Hello, you.

Look, Dad,

I may have been
a bit harsh with you.

I know you've always
tried your best,

but things have changed recently.

And I need you to respect that.

Of course I respect you!

Both of you!

Thanks, Dad.

Does that mean
I can come back, then?

FLATLY: Oh.

Eh, Trevor...

I forgot to tell you,

there's a Black Sabbath memorabilia
fair on at Nice tomorrow.

Ooh, I love Black Sabbath!

Paranoid is my karaoke go-to song.

Now, I happen to know

there are at least ten Tony Iommi
guitar straps up for grabs.

You're joking?!

Nope.
Now, it's a closed invite,

but my friend runs it, so...

I have got you a ticket!

Wow! Thanks, love.

If you hurry,
you'll get the night bus.

And you'll be there first thing.

Brilliant! Come on!

Thanks so much, love.

THEY CHUCKLE

Love you, kid.

Oh, love you too, Dad.
