Guess who just sold
the Elliott residence.

Uh-huh, to a lovely,
young couple from Ohio.

Hi, Adam.

I told them they're
gonna love living in Shaw Bay.

After all, who wouldn't?

Oh, hi, Gwen.
You look beautiful today.

Like I'd even dare forget
the after-sale ice cream!

[laughing]
Extra sprinkles, you got it.

Hey.
How are you?

[laughing]
Thanks, Jim.

It's the best in the world.

[laughing]

Oh, Lisa!
You're making me look bad!

Martha: I think we'll start
on the south side of the bay.

There's just two of you today?

We have a lot
of ground to cover,

so I want us to work our way
all the way around the marina.

Does that make sense?
Excellent, okay.

Erin: Martha was there
with the surveying team.

Mitch: You didn't ask
why they were surveying?

No, your ice cream was melting.

Mm.

And isn't it obvious?

Ever since Claremont down
the coast got a new marina,

Martha and the town council
have been trying to sell

and modernize ours.

You know,
the sprinkles perfect this.

Mitch.

I know.
I know.

But,

maybe redevelopment
is a good thing.

New businesses,
new homes.

After all, we are realtors.

Yeah, but we're also residents.

You've seen Claremont.

Now, it's just all glass fronts
and designer handbags.

I don't want that
to happen to Shaw Bay.

I don't want us to lose
our beautiful, little town.

And I don't wanna lose
my favourite fishing spot.

That's progress, Erin.
You can't stop it.

And, Martha only has
the town's best interests

at heart.

People need income.
Look at us.

I mean,
since Claremont's redevelopment,

we haven't sold
one prestige property.

Seems we can't attract
the rich and famous anymore.

[laughing] Well,
we never attracted the famous.

- [sighing]
- But, if we did...

I mean,
if I could sell one of these,

then I could prove to Martha,

and everyone, that we don't
need to modernize to survive.

That'd have to be some sale.

My biggest one ever.

And then I would use commission
to buy my own dream house.

In Shaw Bay?

Of course.
There's no finer place to live.

Harper: Hello.
Table for one?

Excellent.
Just right over there.

I'll see you soon.

- Hello.
- Hey.

Okay, so, it needs
to clearly represent

that people
still want to live in

and invest in our town.

So it needs to be a big house,

and it needs to be
beyond the price bracket

of mere mortals.

Sounds like
you're gonna be busy.

Yeah.

Have you eaten anything today?

Anything other than ice cream?

One lobster roll, comin' up.

- Ooh, with extra butter and--
- Extra mayo, I know.

- Thank you.
- And no need to thank me.

You make this sale,
buy your own home,

it'll mean you can
finally move out of mine.

- You invited me to move in.
- Five years ago!

It's slightly tragic
that we're both still single

and living together.

- Well, I've been busy.
- Yes, helping others.

- Story of your life, Erin.
- [laughing]

Ever since you missed
your ninth birthday party

to hold my hand
in the emergency room.

My dad should never
have hired that trampoline.

And I shouldn't have attempted
a somersault back landing.

[laughing]
Okay.

- [gasping] Oh!
- Ah-ah.

You can only have this

if you promise to start
putting yourself first more.

Eat.
Take long baths.

- Date.
- I will.

- Promise.
- I'm hungry!

- Then promise!
- I'm hungry!

- [laughing]
- I promise!

- Erin!
- [clearing throat]

Erin: Oh. [clearing throat]

Apologies for the interruption.

Is it table service
or self-order?

Table.
And is that an British accent?

I adore British accents!
Can you say "herb"?

I've been travelling all day,
and I'm rather tired,

Oh, please, please.
Just once?

Herb.

- Herb.
- "Herb"!

I love the way that sounds.

I would just like a bit of food,

some privacy, so--

"Privacy"!
I love that too.

Oh, my gosh.

Uh, sorry.

Table four outside's
nice and quiet.

Thank you.

And I'll have
a fresh salad, please.

Oh, this is a...
a seafood restaurant.

Oh, no.
I don't like seafood.

Oh.
But you came in anyway.

Weren't the little fish
on the sign a clue?

- Fish?
- [stammering]

- No?
- Harper: I will...

I'll put something together.

'Kay.

Unadventurous food taste aside,
he is extremely dateable.

Handsome, refined, rich.

He's wearing
designer everything.

That doesn't impress me.

Besides,
I could never love someone

who doesn't love your seafood.

Aw.

That said,
I am gonna take this outside

'cause I need some fresh air.

- Oh, "fresh air."
- Yes, Harper, fresh air.

- Yep.
- Like, for breathing.

Have fun, Erin.

Oh!

Oh, no.
[laughing]

Uh...
Hm.

What on earth?

If I may.

Oh, no, it's okay.
I'm fine.

Pardon me?

I'm afraid
I don't speak Sandwich.

Please take it.
I insist.

Thank you.

Mm-hm.

♪

Hi, sorry.

I know that you said
you wanted privacy.

I just um...
I just wanted to say thank you.

Uh, so, does the 'T'
stand for Tim, or Tom, or...

Theo.
Theo, um, Johnson.

Well, it's very nice
to meet you, Theo Um-Johnson.

[laughing] I'm Erin.
And I'm local.

So, if you'd like to let me
know where you're staying

I can clean this
and return it to you.

Oh, no, no.
That's quite all right.

You can keep it.
I have many more.

Oh, well, at least let me
return the favour.

I've lived in Shaw Bay
my whole life.

I can tell you all the best
places to go, things to do.

I'm not a tourist.

Oh.

I have to go see someone.
So, if you'll excuse me?

Of course.

Of course.
And thank you again.

♪

Oh, I'm headed this way too.
I have to get back to work.

- So...
- Yes. [clearing throat]

I was just speeding up
in order to--

Yeah, me too.
I'll just, um...

Uh, why are you slowing down?

To be polite.
[stammering] Um...

You know what?
I'll just, uh...

I'll just window shop
for a little bit.

- You go on ahead.
- Very well.

Erin: Okay.

Mitch, sorry I'm late.
Harper insisted I eat.

And then I needed a napkin,

and then this nice-but-odd
English guy loaned me his,

and then he wouldn't stop
walking with me.

- English guy, huh?
- Yeah.

Must be a bunch of
'em in town today.

♪

Hi, again.
[nervously laughing]

I'm considering purchasing
a home in the area,

so I thought
I'd see what's available.

That is, as long as you
don't find that too "odd"?

[laughing] I only meant
that you didn't talk a lot.

This is a friendly, open place.
Everyone shares everything.

You'll know that
when you live here.

If you find me a property
that meets my requirements.

Oh, well, I am very confident.

You're looking at Shaw Bay's
number one realtor.

Oh, she sure is.
I don't know how she does it.

Erin: [laughing]
Well, probably because

I don't take my afternoons off
to go fishing.

[both laughing]

That, and I really like
to get to know my clients.

So, let's start with
job, family, hobbies.

Why do you need
to know all that?

Well, I can't find you
the perfect home,

if I don't know who you are,

can I?

So, do you have any kids?

No.

Are you married?
In a relationship?

Not the last time I checked.

And what do you do
for a profession?

Uh... uh...

So that I know
if you need a home office,

or if
you're intending to commute,

- travel...
- I see.

My job.
That's a good question.

[stammering] I'm...

Let's say
I'm in public relations.

Although, that's not important.

I'm only looking
for a small place for myself.

Nothing extravagant.

Okay.
Let's see what I have.

Is there any other features,

or aspects you'd like
the property to have?

Yes, it must be
secure and private.

- Anything else?
- No.

Well, a swimming pool, perhaps.

And a gymnasium would be nice.

Oh, and a wine cellar
would be lovely.

Right, um, I think maybe
your idea of something small

and, uh, not fancy is a little
bit different than mine.

So, how many bedrooms would
you like the place to have?

No more than seven or eight.

In case I have guests.

You can't help me.

Oh, no, no, no.
Yes, yes, yes, I can, I can.

I just need a little bit of time
to check the market,

see what's available,
but, why don't I do that,

and you and I
can go take a look

at a couple of places tomorrow?

That sounds ideal.

I was wondering
if you might point me towards

a good hotel for the night?

You didn't book something?

My decision to come to Shaw Bay
was spur-of-the-moment.

- [cell phone ringing]
- Sorry.

Shaw Bay Real Estate,
how can I help?

Mr. Grayson, yes,

thank you so much
for calling me back.

Oh, sorry, why don't you try
Bess's Guest House?

It's at the edge of town.
I would take you myself, but...

Right.

I'll see you tomorrow.

Indeed.

Oh, Mr. Grayson!
Yes, sorry, I am still here.

[desk bell ringing]

Yes, yes, I'm coming.
I'm coming!

You're not one of my guests.

No, but I would like to be.

Oh, well, I'm afraid
that's not possible.

New guests' check-in is between
2:00 and 4:00 PM only.

Any time outside of that

and it completely
throws off my schedule.

Perhaps you would
consider making an exception,

just this once?

I assure you,
I shall be the perfect guest.

And you were recommended
by the local realtor.

Oh!
Erin sent you?

Well, why didn't you say so?

Welcome!
Please, sign in.

- Room for one, yes?
- Yes.

Okay, I will give you room five.

It has a beautiful, beautiful
view of the marina.

Are you looking
to buy a place here?

- Considering it.
- Hm.

Well, I'm sure Erin will
find you somewhere beautiful.

In the meantime,
you can enjoy my hospitality!

- I only have one rule.
- Hm?

That you stick to the rules.

Breakfast is
between 6:00 and 8:00 AM.

You must remove any muddy boots
prior to entering the building.

Fresh towels are provided daily,
as are soaps and shampoos.

- [cell phone chiming]
- And--

- Excuse me for a moment.
- Sure.

[sighing]
My apologies.

You were saying
something about towels?

Fresh towels are provided daily,
but, please, if they're wet,

don't put them
on the bed spread.

- It leaves a stain.
- Oh, no.

And once you use the soap,
it is a hard soap, so, please,

- just put it on a face cloth...
- It's a hard...

- ..hard soap.
- ..not on the counter.

It's very difficult to clean
if that's the case.

- I'm sure.
- Uh, room five.

It's just up the stairs
and to the left.

If there's anything at all
that you need,

please don't hesitate to ask.

- Thank you. [clearing throat]
- I'll be there in a flash!

- Very good.
- Bye, have a nice day.

Theo: You as well.

Oh.
[clearing throat]

[sighing]

[grunting]

What the?
Come on.

Oop!
[grunting]

I'm fine.

- Hi.
- Good morning.

Good morning.
So, how was Bess's?

Uh, well,
I would say too many rules

and not enough breakfast.

Ah.

But did have
a wonderful night's sleep.

Good.
It's the clean, crisp ocean air.

It's yet another wonderful thing
about living in Shaw Bay.

- You'll soon see.
- You found some properties?

Uh, just one,
but it is perfect.

It's a little out of town,
but it's a beautiful walk.

Lead the way.

Do the gardens remind you
of the gardens in England?

Who said I was from England?

Your accent,
I-I just assumed...

I went to boarding school there.

Years of lumpy porridge and
wretched elocution lessons.

Well, uh,
where are you from originally?

Uh, might we just focus on...

Oh.
Sure.

Yeah, well, um, here we are.
It's Heartview House.

Private, secure, it has a pool,

a full gym, and even,

I am delighted to say,

a wine cellar.

Hm.

So, what brought you
to Shaw Bay?

Someone told me
it was a wonderful place,

the perfect getaway.

They were right.
[laughing]

And over here,
it's all national park.

Mile upon mile
of unspoiled forest.

- You like to hike?
- Not particularly, no.

Boating,
rowing is more my passion.

But, it is stunning.

Yeah.

Though I do think
it would be even better

if it had an east-facing view.

Then you would see
the peninsula sweeping around.

Yes.
Yes, quite.

Yes, thank you.

I find sellers tend to only
accentuate the positives.

Well, I always think
that honesty is the best policy.

It's important that my clients
find happiness in their homes.

I wouldn't be doing my job right
if they didn't.

- An admirable quality.
- It's still a great place.

It's a bit expensive, but I'm
sure I can get the price down.

It's all about negotiating.

Thank you,
but money is no issue for me.

In any case,
this isn't the right house.

Oh.
Oh, okay.

Um, do you mind me asking why?

Well, it's difficult
to pinpoint exactly.

But, I suppose I'm looking
for something the same size,

but, smaller, more homey.

Does that make sense?

Honestly?
No.

But I will get straight
back to work.

I have never failed to find
a client a perfect home before.

Some people choose not to move

due to finances,
or circumstances in the end,

but I always
found them somewhere.

I promise.
I'll do the same for you.

- Promise?
- Absolutely.

But it might take time,
so you'll need to stay in town,

stick around
for a day or two more.

- I can do that.
- Okay.

Bess: For the last time,

I can't show you
the guest register.

It's against the rules.

Frank: Then,
if I might trouble you

to just describe
your current guests,

to check if they match
the person I'm seeking.

- Theo: Frank?
- Sir!

Thank goodness.

- Oh, look at your blazer.
- [sighing]

Lint, and dirt,

and when was the last
time your shoes were brushed?

[laughing] I assume you two
know each other?

Of course.
This is none other than--

Yes, Frank is an old friend.

Sir?

And "Sir" is a nickname
he has for me.

It's silly, but I've never
quite been able to shake it.

Frank, come along now.

I'd like to show you
the incredible ocean view.

Impossible lady.

And as for her decor,
fish on the walls?

What are you doing here?

I'm here
because you are here, sir.

I can't tell you how difficult
it's been to track you down.

I've had to follow a virtual
paper-trail of bookings,

- receipts--
- I didn't want to be followed.

But your friends,
your family, your father,

they're all worried.

Plus, speculation about
your sudden disappearance

is growing,
especially given the, um...

Shall we say
"current circumstances?"

I can imagine.

So, you understand why
you must return home, sir.

No.
I'm not going back.

[sighing]

This is a difficult time
for all, you, especially.

But I'm certain you'll feel
differently in a day or two.

Don't count on it.

A realtor's helping me
find a house.

- A holiday home?
- Permanent residence.

[sighing] But sir--!

Enough with the "sir".

Here,
you can just call me "Theo".

Theo?

Why on earth
would I do that, sir?

[clearing throat loudly]

Why on earth
would I do that...

..Theo?

Because I don't want anyone here
to know who I actually am.

Because I want to enjoy
the privacy, the freedom.

I understand.

So you'll respect
my wishes then?

You won't reveal
my location to anyone?

You have my word.

As long as you allow
me to stay too, of course.

Excellent,
The first thing I'll do

is find us a decent hotel.

No, that's all right.
This place is growing on me.

You're... you're staying here?

No.
We are staying here.

But, sir!

Theo...

Erin: Just a little higher
on your side, Mitch.

A little higher.
Keep going.

Looks more worn every year.

Imagine if we had
a digital notice board.

Bright, animated,
could be updated year round.

Erin: Don't you think that
would be a little out of place,

a little over the top
in a town like ours?

Well, not if
the redevelopment goes ahead.

Yeah, but our town
is perfect the way it is.

I mean,
we don't need a new marina,

and we don't need a fancy sign.

Is this the right place, Erin?
My arm's starting to hurt.

Erin: Sorry.
Um...

I'll leave you to it

Uh, just a little lower.

- Okay.
- Erin: Perfect.

[stairs creaking]

Caught you!

I commend your pranking, sir,

but unfortunately I heard you
descend the stairs.

Your left shoe
has an unmistakable squeak.

- No, it doesn't
- [shoe squeaking]

Oh.
So, it does.

- Why do you know that?
- Because it's my job to know.

Just as it is my job
to guide you when required.

Won't you reconsider
your position?

Realize the repercussions
if you choose to live here?

I know what I'm doing.

Why don't you
come on a walk with me?

Have a look around?

Thank you, but I'd like
to continue studying

Bess's collection.

Amongst the junk,
she does have a few good pieces.

All right,
don't have too much fun.

- Caught you!
- [yelling]

[smashing]

[gasping]

Erin: But I can't help feeling

like you're hiding
something from me.

There are simply
certain parts of my life

that I prefer to keep private.

[sighing]
Fine.

I'm just your realtor.

I guess your job
and your personal life

are none of my business.

Thank you
for finally realizing that.

How you feel about prying,
I feel double--

triple that
about people patronizing me!

I wasn't.

Also, it's pronounced
"patronising".

That just reinforces my point!

Just because
you have a fancy accent

doesn't mean you get
to just say whatever you want.

[laughing]

I'm sorry.
Is something funny?

I don't believe anyone's
ever spoken to me that way.

- Like what?
- Telling me off.

I suppose I may come across
as blunt sometimes,

or rude.

I apologize for that.

Well, thank you for saying that.

Would you like to go see
the other home I found?

I would be extremely grateful.

Good.

I actually think you're really
gonna love this one.

He hated it!
Hated it!

Harper: Theo said that?

No, he said it "wasn't quite
suited to his tastes,"

which is his fancy way
of saying he hates something.

This is getting impossible.

If I find him something with
a pool it's not homey enough.

And if I find him something
private it's too small.

Well, don't worry.

My clam chowder always
makes everything better.

Thank you.
I just...

I just wish that
I knew more about him.

You know, where he's from,
what his job actually entails.

That should be
easy to find, right?

This, dear Erin,
contains what the cool,

in-the-know kids
are calling "The Internet."

- Ah?
- [both laughing]

Just do a quick name search
for "Theo Johnson!"

That handsome, that rich,
he'll soon show up.

I can't do that.
It would be prying.

And Mr. Mystery takes
his privacy extremely seriously.

Fine, don't find out.

Spend the rest of your life
wondering who he was.

And if selling Theo a house
could've saved the entire town,

then I don't know.
I mean, really--

Okay, okay, okay, okay!
I'll do a search.

I guess it's not like
I'm finding anything new.

All that information's
already out there, right?

- Mm-hm.
- I'm just stumbling upon it

- Stumble.
- [sighing] "Theo Johnson."

Are you--
There are 264,000 hits.

That's a lot of Theo Johnsons.

Right, "Sticks most objects
and bonds in 40 seconds."

Good, we must work quickly.

Bess has asked three times
if I know anything.

And I assume
you don't want any fuss,

any unwanted attention?

I'll hold.
You glue.

- There we go.
- Yep.

- There and there.
- Be generous with it, Frank.

And, there.

All right, and...

Oh, that's good.
You can't even see the crack.

- Wow.
- [knocking]

What am I supposed
to do with this?

[humming]
Oh!

Didn't you hear me knock?

Actually, no.
We were playing music.

That... we turned off

the exact second you entered.

Oh, well, I just came
to bring you those towels

you asked for, Mr. Johnson.

Allow me.

- Thank you, Frank.
- What's going on?

- [both stammering]
- I prefer not to hold towels.

No, no, no.
What's going on?

What have you got hidden
behind your back?

- Nothing.
- Both hands.

What are you hiding?

- [sighing]
- [gasping] My fish!

- You took it!
- No, I did.

I wanted to show Theo
this fine piece.

And I-I-I take
full responsibility.

[Bess laughing and sighing]

Well, this is
a clear breach of my rules

and there will be consequences.

Give me my fish.

- Give me my fish, please.

Oh, no, the glue.
It bonded to me.

- What glue?
- Oh, dear.

[clearing throat]

Just... I'm trying very hard
to give it to you.

Frank, would you help, please?

Sorry, sir, if may I be so bold,

as to touch your thumb?

Yes, of course, go on.
Get in there.

Bess: No, I can do this!
Frank: Oh, dear!

[both grunting]

You know, we might not
be able to find Theo,

because he's covering
his tracks, using an alias.

Because?

Any number of reasons.
He could be a secret spy.

Ooh, or a con artist!

Like Leo in Catch Me If You Can.

[both laughing]

Erin: No, no, I think
the answer is something

far more interesting.
Listen to this.

"Theo Johnson,
the renowned and notoriously

private graffiti artist
turned modern art master."

Ooh, is there a photo?

That's just it.
He's never photographed.

It's part of his mystique,

and why his artwork
sells for millions.

-Which would explain his wealth.
-Right?

And why he pretended
to have a different job.

- That's it!
- This has gotta be him.

- Yes!
- Theo Johnson,

I know who you are.

What happened to your hand?

Oh, I glued
a fish to my fingers.

I get it.

I guess that's what you types
do all time, isn't it?

What "types?"

Were you making a statement?

Delivering a powerful message?

Uh...
Oh, you know what?

Don't bother.
You can tell me about it later.

Because,
I am delighted to show you.

It's such an inspiring space,
I think.

And that garden.
Oh, it's nature, yes,

but reimagined
by the human hand.

It's just so, so artistic.

And there's such beautiful light
throughout the entire house.

- Can you see?
- Mm-hm.

Especially
in the artist's studio,

which you will be
very pleased to know.

Why will I be pleased
to know that?

You know.
You're an artist.

Am I?

Are... are you not an artist?

Never held
a paintbrush in my life.

So, you're not Theo Johnson?

Theo Johnson
the modern art revelation?

Uh, no, I'm not.
And why would you think I am?

Okay, so, um--
[clearing throat]

I maybe looked
your name up online.

And the only thing
that made any sense to me

was that you were some mystery,
celebrated artist.

You looked into my private life?

Even after everything
I've told you.

I think I need some time.

To think.
[stammering]

Harper: Don't worry.
If he's being that secretive,

hiding something,
you know, maybe it's best

he doesn't
move here in the first place.

You know what?
You're right.

Forget Theo Johnson.

If he walked in here right now,

and he begged me
to take him back on as a client,

I would say "no."

Oh, then, perhaps I should go.

- Hi.
- I came to apologize.

Hm.

The reason I don't answer
all of your questions,

that I'm overly private,

is due to the fact that
my life is very complicated.

Why is that?
Are you a con artist?

- [laughing]
- What?

Never mind.
Continue.

I just find it best
to maintain my privacy.

Now, more than ever.

I'm at a very delicate
crossroads in my life.

Okay.
How we about we negotiate?

I won't ask you
any more personal questions,

if... if you tell me
everything you can, and,

we go over your must-have list,
and we try to thin it out.

That sounds reasonable.

Okay, good.

I have to meet a client
in a little bit,

but do you wanna meet back here
for an early dinner?

We could work and eat?

Tonight, I'm afraid
I'm unavailable.

There's a painting
I need to finish.

[laughing]

Touché.

He didn't even have to beg.

- Harper!
- [Harper laughing]

Mm, very nice.

I hope this little chore
has taught you a lesson

not to touch
other people's things.

Actually,
I rather enjoyed the task.

Your dull spoons have annoyed me
ever since I arrived.

[scoffing]

Well, now,
if you'll excuse me,

I need to go
and speak with Theo.

Too late.

He's already gone
to grab a bite with Erin.

- W-With Erin?
- Mm-hm.

Do you mean to tell me
the realtor helping Theo,

dining with him,
is a lady?

Is that a problem?

No, no problem at all.

How was the vincisgrassi?

It was amazingly delicious.
Thank you.

I think you should
try my crab cakes.

Maybe you will
once Erin finds a home for you.

Well, she's certainly
trying her best.

That's our Erin,
so caring,

always looking out for others.

In fact, it's a wonder
she's still single.

Ouch.
Sorry about her.

She's been trying to set me up
since my last boyfriend.

No need to apologize.

I know how awkward
and wretched it is

when others
play matchmaker.

You wanting to ask about that?

So badly, but I'm not going to.

Okay, this place
has four bedrooms, a gym.

Oh.
Shared garden.

Then, I'm afraid,
it has to be another no.

I won't compromise on security.
Is there anything else?

Nothing else is coming up.

Then I think
we've reached an impasse.

It's clear that you can't find
me a suitable place.

[stammering] I wasn't
doubting your ability.

No.
I... I am.

You're the first person
I've failed to find a home for.

Perhaps I shouldn't be so picky.

[laughing]

Let me show you Shaw Bay.

Not, not just the houses,
but what makes it so special.

Then, after that, you'd be happy
to live in a tent here.

[both laughing]

How about it?

How can I refuse?

Frank: Would you please let go?

Please, Bess, you're making
a spectacle of yourself.

If you would just allow me

to move this table
to the window--

- Let go!
- Oh!

- What on earth is going on?
- Theo. [sighing]

I was merely rearranging
the furniture a little.

Trying to make better use
of the available space.

He was interfering.
That's what he was doing.

And I found him
inside my kitchen!

I was simply trying to prepare
a pot of tea properly.

And what's wrong with my tea?

- Where does one begin?
- [gasping]

Firstly, one uses loose leaves,

never, ever, tea bags.

The water should be hot,
but not boiling.

My best china!

That was going to waste
in a display cabinet.

A bit of milk to finish.

[sighing]

♪

Oh, well, that's wonderful.

[laughing]
But stay out of my kitchen.

I'll leave you both to it.

Oh, you're not
staying for breakfast?

Unfortunately, no,
Erin's organized a day out.

- A picnic.
- Hm.

Picnic?

That's delicious.

Sir!

[stammering]
Theo!

A moment, please?

I feel duty bound
to express my concern

about your spending the day
having a picnic with this Erin.

Ah, do you think it might rain?
I should bring an umbrella.

I believe you know
what I'm referring to, sir.

But, if not, let me remind you,

with respect,
that you are not, in fact,

"Theo Johnson,"
but Prince Theodore,

son of King Henry,
and heir apparent

to the royal throne of Movdovia.

I'm very well aware of that.
Thank you.

Then I'm sure you're also aware

that your father
expects you to marry soon,

especially as he's found you
an extremely suitable--

-- um, beautiful young lady.

Who just happens to be
of royal stock as well.

Don't you get it, Frank?

I don't want to marry someone

that my father has chosen
and deems worthy.

The King would never force you
into marriage against your will.

Maybe not, but he would do
everything to persuade me.

That's why
I had to leave our country.

[sighing] My entire life
has been pomp and protocol,

all under the scrutiny
of my father,

and the entire kingdom.

This town?

This could be
the perfect place

to escape that.

To make a new life for myself.

Sir, Movdovia is your true home.

You can't escape your life.

I'm not trying
to escape my life.

I'm trying to find it.

Erin: Every year,
the town gathers

for a picnic by the water.

- You should come.
- But, I'm not a resident.

Hm, not yet.
But you'd still be welcome.

Hey, Erin!
Come say hi.

- Erin: How's it today?
- It's great.

Hey.
Great to see you again, Theo!

You too, Mitch.

Mitch: You fish, Theo?

No, no, I've never had the time.

You can't be
a true Shaw Bayer

until you've fished
at least once.

Don't worry.
I'll help you.

Come here.

I'll even let you
use my best rod.

Oh.
Well. [clearing throat]

Thank you.
It's an honour.

Mitch: Bessie, meet Theo.
[laughing]

Wait.
I'll get you a chair.

- Erin, have a seat too.
- Erin: Oh, thank you, Mitch.

Mitch: This is the long game.

So, how long
you gonna be in town?

That depends how long it takes
to catch a fish.

At this rate, I'll probably
be here an entire year.

[both laughing]

Well, will you be around
in a couple of days

for the town picnic?

I don't think so, no.

Oh, but you gotta come!

There's food, games.
Everyone dresses up.

Get to hear Erin's speech.

Oh?

Excuse me?

My what?!

Mitch:
Your speech at the picnic.

You see, every year a resident
says a few words about the town,

you know,
why they love it so much,

sort of a tradition.

Hm.

Didn't I say
I'd recommend you to the mayor?

- Uh-uh.
- I guess not.

Ah, well, if you're too busy,

if it's too much,
I'll do it.

Oh, what,
so you can bore everyone

with old fishing tales?

No, I'll do it.

[laughing] Great!

I'll go tell the mayor
right now.

- Okay.
- Look after my stuff.

[laughing]
He's a nice fellow.

He's clearly very fond of you.

Yeah, he was
a good friend of my parents.

And, like Bess,
he was there for me

when they passed.

I'm so sorry.

Oh, no, it's okay.

I actually really like
talking about them.

Gives me a chance to remember
all of the good times

we had together.

They loved this place
even more than I do.

That's why it's important to me
that I to look after it,

preserve it.

You know, this, right here would
be a wonderful place for a home.

If only there was a home
big enough here.

Yeah, it would be.

It's happening.
Something's happening.

- What's happening?
- Oh, um, okay!

Uh, oh, here we go.
Uh, oh, sorry.

No, it's all right.
I understand.

- You came to help me.
- Okay, okay, okay.

So, yes,
just start reeling it in,

but not too fast, not too fast.

- You don't wanna spook it.
- Spook it?

And then make sure, yes.

Make sure that you keep
a really good grip on this

just in case you, um...
[gasping]

Oh!
Oh, no!

Oh, no.

..in case that happens.

You're telling Mitch that you
lost his favourite fishing rod.

[both laughing]

Go help yourself.

Harper's provided us
with everything.

[laughing]

So, picnics, days out,

is this what you do
with all your clients?

- Sure, if I have to.
- [gulping]

Honestly, the truth is,

you buying a house here

would show a lot of people that
the town doesn't need to change.

- Mm.
- I'm sorry.

I hope that doesn't sound
mercenary or calculated,

No, not at all.

I wanna protect this town,
its beauty.

So, if I have to go
the extra mile, so be it.

Harper was right.

You always do think
of others first.

No, I just...

I just do
what anyone else would.

Well...

Though I do really wish
I hadn't agreed to give a speech

at the picnic.

Why not?
Can't think of anything to say?

Oh, no.
That's not the problem.

No, um, I'm great
at talking to my clients,

when going to viewings,
one-on-one,

but the idea of standing up in
front of a crowd petrifies me.

- Ever since...
- Oh?

- Ever since what?
- Uh...

Okay, so, I, um,
I was in a high school concert.

And I was supposed
to sing a solo.

- Memories?
- Oh, yeah.

Yeah, and, uh, instead,

I got the hiccups

from the nerves,
and I sounded like a frog.

Oh. [laughing]

Yeah, and that is
the exact reaction that I got

from the entire audience.

- I apologize.
- [both laughing]

You know there's a...

There's a trick
for addressing large crowds.

- Huh?
- You pick one person.

You make eye contact with him

and you forget about
everyone else.

- Here, try it with me.
- Okay.

[clearing throat]

Now,
look me straight in the eyes.

And now, everything else.
How does that look?

It's all kinda blurry
in my peripheral vision.

Like you could just
forget it's there.

- [laughing]
- Isn't this a little intense?

Well, in a crowd, you pick
someone in the far distance.

- Not so close.
- Mm-hm.

[laughing] Well,
thank you for the tip.

We should not let
this lunch go to waste.

- All right.
- Mm!

Mm.
Hm?

What?
No, not again!

It's all right.

- Please, allow me.
- Thank you.

[both laughing]

I'll have my usual
double chocolate.

[laughing] Thanks, Jim.

It's the best ice cream
in the world.

Bold statement.

I happen to know
of a little place in Turin

that does amazing gelato.

And of course, in India,

they have the most sublime
mango kulfi.

Oh, wow, well,
it sounds like you

and your sweet tooth
have travelled.

Been very fortunate
in that regard.

I've travelled
to some beautiful countries,

seen some stunning things.

Sounds nice.

Have you not travelled?

Uh, not as much
as I would like.

Thank you so much.

You know,
with work, and helping out,

it's hard to carve out
the time to find my own place.

Let alone take a vacation.

I do try to plan ahead, but
my schedule always seem to fill.

Mm.
Oh, my.

That really is rather splendid.

Mm-hm.

I love looking in the window
of this antique store.

I mean, just think about
all of the stories and history

behind everything.

Oh, wow!

Look at that beautiful tiara.

You think it's real?

Can't see a price tag,
but from here,

based on how
the way diamonds sparkle,

I'd imagine it is.

Only one way to find
out though.

Hm?

The diamonds are real,
hence the high price.

But I wonder
what their exact clarity is.

Have you got a loupe
I might borrow, please?

Thank you.

These are
of exceptional quality.

Oh, well, real diamonds or not,

I do not have any occasions
to wear a tiara, so...

How about right here, right now?

- May I?
- Okay.

Theo: There.

It's beautiful.

Like it was made
especially for you.

[laughing] Can I see?

Wow.

[sighing]

Um, well, should give it back.

I can't afford to damage it.

So...

In that case,
I'll buy it for you.

As a thank you gift,
once you've found me a home.

- Hm?
- [laughing]

You almost got me.
[laughing]

- Thank you for your time.
- Thank you.

[knocking]

Come in.

More missed calls
from my father.

Kings do not like to be ignored.

You must return home,
Prince Theo.

Our country, a royal palace,

it doesn't feel
like home anymore.

That's why I'm
considering living here.

[clearing throat]

What?
You don't like Shaw Bay?

It has its charms,

but none of the luxuries
you're accustomed to.

Fine dining, a good tailor.

Then,
there is your conduct here.

It is unbecoming of a prince
to lounge about fishing,

eat ice cream in the street.

Have you been following me?

Only at your father's command.

You're in contact with him?
Have you told him where we are?

No, because you asked me not to.

The King is anxious
for your safety,

your well-being.

No, my father is anxious
for me to return home,

do as he says

and marry a royal
he's picked out for me.

It is your duty to do
what's best for our kingdom,

our people.

That's the life
you were born into.

It's not one you can
simply walk away from.

[Bess laughing]

Don't you have anything better
to do than hang around my lobby?

Sadly not.

Theo has made plans
without me today.

Can't imagine why.

Well, come on.
You can help me with a job.

Each year
I make all the centrepieces

for the blankets at the picnic,
and you can lend a hand.

And not a moment too soon.

Why?
What's wrong with that?

Oh, look,
the stems are too long.

You've arranged white carnations
with yellow roses.

Oh, I'm sorry.

Is that a crime
where you come from?

[laughing]
One colour washes out the other.

Contrasting colours,
put together,

will make much more

of an impact.

Hm, well, I suppose that's
another way of doing it.

Make some more.
I'll decide which I like best.

Hm.

So, I remember you saying
that rowing was your passion.

So, ta-da!

These aren't rowing boats.
They're kayaks.

I use oars, not paddles.

But it is still, essentially,

boats on water, isn't it?

I'm sure I'll enjoy myself.

Oh, thanks, Bryan.
We'll leave those with you.

Thanks.

Um, well, I thought maybe
we could, you know,

go down the coast
and do some exploring.

That sounds lovely.

And don't worry.
I'll go slow.

See, I've been rowing
for many years.

I'm quite confident
on the water.

You know,
yes, quite fast.

Theo: Well,
those seals we saw before

seemed very relaxed.

Erin: [laughing] Yeah.

They actually kind of
reminded me of my ex-boyfriend

when he used to lie on the couch

and watch sports.

Why did you two split up?

So you get to ask me questions
about my personal life,

but I don't get
to ask any of you?

I take your point.

His name was Brett.

He was nice, very kind,

but, in the end
we were just too different.

He really wanted
to move to the city,

and I wanted to stay here.

So...

Well, I dare say
Brett was a fool.

He obviously should have
stayed with you.

Um, because, because
it's so lovely here is,

- um, is what I meant to say.
- Mm-hm.

My mother was right
about this place.

- She told me about Shaw Bay.
- Mm.

She visited
when she was younger.

She was travelling,
was only meant to stay in town

for a night, but ended up
staying an entire month.

And you're following
in her footsteps?

Seeing if it's as wonderful
as she says it is?

Yes.

Well, I hope you tell her
that it is.

Sadly,
that's not something I can't do.

I'm sorry.

It's was 18 months ago,
and I am an adult, but...

You never stop missing them.

Do you still have your dad?

Oh, yes, my father is very much
a part of my life still.

[seals barking]

Look, must be nice for them,
don't you think?

To have an entire ocean
as a home.

Free to go wherever you'd like,

whenever you want,

and enjoy privacy and peace.

At the risk of prying,

it, uh, it sounds
like maybe you don't have that.

I recognize
I've a very good life,

but it does come with certain...

..pressures,
and intense scrutiny.

I don't want to sound
overdramatic,

but it does become tiring
and overwhelming at times.

Mm.
Then, you know what?

For today,
just don't think about it.

Just be here, right now.

You know, here,
you don't have to be anybody.

You just have to be you.

These are beautiful.

How do you know so much
about flower arrangements?

I...

..watched a lot of video guides,
found out I had a gift.

Well, you certainly do.
And this was fun.

Hey, Mitch.
What's up?

They just put it up
a few minutes ago.

- No, no, no, no, no!
- Theo: What is it?

The council, they've been
threatening to sell the marina.

Martha, you put
the decision forward?

We decided it was best
to act swiftly.

The sooner the marina is sold,
the sooner we can begin

to create new jobs, homes,
opportunities for all.

Martha, I know you think
you're doing what's best,

but redevelopment
is going to ruin this town.

Or rejuvenate it.

You know how tough the winter,
out-of-season months can be.

It's like I told you, kid.
You can't stop progress.

Well, perhaps they're right.
It might help the town.

After all,
you don't know for certain,

that redevelopment
would ruin Shaw Bay.

Yes, I do.

I can prove it to you.

[panting] Look, if, um,
if you want to take a break,

that's, um,
that's all right with me.

Keep going.
It'll be worth it.

I promise.

All right.

Oh!

The things I do for my king.

Erin: This is my favourite place

My parents
used to bring me here.

Whether it was for a picnic,

or to paint,

or just to sit
and enjoy the view.

I can see why.
It's breathtaking.

You know, when I was little,

I used to imagine
that there were

these beautiful houses up here,

and that one day
I would live in one,

and I would
wake up every morning

and open my curtains
and see this.

The town looks even more
beautiful from up here.

Um, same lessons,
same dormitories, yeah.

- Interesting.
- Theo: Mm-hm.

Because, and no offense, Frank.

Uh, Frank seems

Well, that's because he was

Bit of a slow learner,

I suppose so.

Terrible at maths,

See for yourself.
Frank, what's seven times seven?

Forty-nine.

- Well, he knows that now,

Frank,
what brought you to Shaw Bay?

Theo mentioned
he was coming here,

It's nice to meet you, Frank.

Frank: [whispering] Theo.

My humble apologies, sir,
but I thought you were

about to propose!

Why on earth
would you think that?!

Because of the time you're
spending together with Erin.

And I've seen the way
you look at her.

Sir, you must return home safe

and, just as importantly,
still single.

Whatever I have with Erin,
it is strictly business.

Sir, please.

I have known you
your entire life.

So I offer this advice
not just as your valet,

not as your bodyguard,
but as your friend.

Tell Erin who you really are.

would be better for all.

No.

sycophantic, even hostile

that I'm a prince.

They see the title and not me.

the rules do state,

"Muddy shoes must be taken off
before entering the home."

Very witty, sir.

Your Royal Highness.

I wasn't snooping.

I was just putting
fresh towels in your room,

No, no, wait, please!

You mustn't tell Erin

Yes, and I will tell her,

Please.

Well, in that case, I have
a new guest house rule.

All royal guests shall

Still can't find Theo a home?

There are some places

this makes Martha

and the rest of the council
reconsider the marina plan.

Well, they won't need to.

I'm sorry!

I would tell you if I could.

You know I would,
but I don't wanna jinx anything!

[laughing] Okay,
just tell me when Theo moves in,

so I can make him
a welcome hamper.

Yes, well, this place
needs a lot of building work.

It's likely that while
that's being completed,

Theo will have
to be gone for a bit.

But you're okay with that,
right?

After all, he's just a client.

Sure, yeah, of course.

I just enjoy his company.
That's all.

In that case, make the most of
your remaining time together.

Oh, I like this.

Music and seafood night,
to promote my new dishes.

I gotta do something
if the marina gets redeveloped.

Well, like I said,
I have a feeling

everything's gonna be just fine.

Huh?

Why?
What have you heard?

Nothing.

Theo's just an ordinary,

- Hi.
- Hi.

Um, I just came to return this.

Oh, thank you,

something in return.

Frank: Theo,

- Frank.

I just came by to drop off
Theo's handkerchief.

And also, to invite you,
both of you, to this.

It's tonight at the bistro.

And there's going to be music,

and, knowing Harper,
an ocean's worth of seafood.

Sadly we shan't be attending.
Theo dislikes seafood immensely.

Well, you know, perhaps
I ought to give it another try.

I'll be there.

Who I am, where I'm from,

what I should have told you,

long before now,
the moment we first met,

is this:

- I'm--
- [car horn honking]

Who's that?

Theo, what's going on?

I almost didn't recognize you.

Theo, who is this?

Erin, this is His Royal
Highness, King Henry,

reigning monarch and head of
state of the Kingdom of Movdovia

and, more to the point,
my father.

Huh?
I'm sorry.

Is this some kind of joke?
Or...

- Uh...
- She doesn't know who you are?

No.
Almost no one here does.

Can someone tell me
what all of this is about?

This is Prince Theodore
Montague, heir apparent

to the Movdovian throne.

Erin!
Please wait.

Allow me to explain.

Now?
Now you want to explain?

After you've just humiliated me
in front of everyone.

I came to Shaw Bay
for peace, for privacy.

Even when Bess found out I was
terrified I'd be discovered.

Bess knew?

I pleaded with her not to tell
you, to keep it a secret.

I would've kept it a secret.

I wanted to tell you.
I tried!

Just now, and last night,
and the night we danced.

Which is something
that shouldn't have happened.

Not when you're to marry a
princess worthy of your status.

You're getting married?

No, no!
I'm not.

I... I'm supposed to.

I'm...I'm expected
to marry soon, but, I'm...

- Goodbye, Theo.
- Erin.

Henry: Let her go.

We have more important
matters to discuss.

Your leaving,
and then failure to return home

has caused me
a great deal of problems.

We're royalty, Theodore.

We aren't allowed
to take breaks,

be ruled
by our whims and emotions.

Perhaps things
would be better if we were.

You're a prince.
You want for nothing.

Except privacy,
and the right to my own life.

And yet you're willing
to sacrifice all that,

and do as I wish,
just to save this little town.

It seems the right thing to do.
This is a wonderful place.

I already know that.

I came here many years ago
with your mother,

just before you were born.

We marked it
as an official visit,

but in reality we just...

..we just relaxed, read books,

spent time together.

We knew, with our duties
and a baby boy on the way,

it'd be our
last chance to do so.

It was wonderful.

Then help me save Shaw Bay now.

If you do,
I will try to be a son,

an heir to Movdovia
of whom you can be proud.

You already are.

Putting the needs of others
before your own is commendable,

and suggests you will
make a fine king, too,

one day.

However,
should you wish to remain here

and relinquish
your titles

and duties,

then I will respect your wishes.

Thank you, Father.

Although, I don't think
I'm welcome here anymore.

I don't blame you.

Theo should have told me
who he really was.

But I think he did.

Who you saw,
and who you spent time with,

wasn't that the real Theo?

Rather than someone
he doesn't wanna be,

and is trying to escape from?

Yeah, but he still lied to me.

When we spent time together,
when we danced,

I felt like
I was with someone who...

..who wasn't engaged.

Well, that's because he isn't,
not yet, at least.

Frank told me everything.

Theo's expected
to marry a princess,

but he doesn't want to.

Then why doesn't he just refuse?

Honey, he did in a way.

He fled his country
and came here to Shaw Bay,

to try to find
a new life and a new home.

But his father
blocked the marina sale.

Now, Theo's promised
to return home, marry,

and continue being a prince,

if it meant that he could
still save this town.

He's willing to do that?

He's willing to sacrifice
everything for us?

I have to find him.

I have to talk to him

Uh, which... which,

I can't remember right now.

But if you just
give me a second,

I'm sure it will, um,
hopefully come back to me.

What I wanted to say
was simply this.

I love Shaw Bay

and it's not because
of how beautiful it is,

or because
I've lived here my whole life,

but because of the people
that live here with me.

My neighbours,

my boss, Mitch,

my Aunt Bess,

people like Lily and Jim
