Original subtitles

Wow, Angie, this is so cool.

Our new client's one of the top women's freedivers in the world.

Unbelievable. But she holds so many records?

That you hung it so crooked.

Let me finish.

Okay, well, it's the wall's fault.

So our new client's a scuba diver.

No, this is freediving, not scuba.

Does that mean you won't be flexing with scuba trips with the buoyancy stories? I

spent that entire trip helping Chris with his buoyancy control.

Isn't that the same trip he got stung by a jellyfish?

Hey, I'm only one man.

Check it out.

She's holding her breath this whole time.

This is 100 meters down, 200-meter round trip. It's the same as a 60-story

building. Wow.

So not a sport, a death wish.

And the men go even deeper. She must be in town for the freediving competition.

What do you think she wants her help with?

All she said in the online form was, requires discretion.

You know, I am kind of embarrassed she saw our website.

Oh, yeah. You know what? I guess it could use a refresh.

What font says Everett Shade West Coast?

You know, I was thinking, new location, new name.

Oh, like 1795676 Limited?

Shade Everett.

Detective A, Detective B.

Everett Shade.

We did that first time around.

If it ain't broke.

Says the woman who can't hang a picture frame straight. I was Detective A and B

while I was running the agency, and you were out here looking after Will?

And carrying your son.

You know what?

Clyde's gonna be here any minute. I need my desk.

This is my desk.

I can't sit with my back to the door. Neither can I. You taught me that.

I taught you everything you know. And you never set up an agency from scratch

before. Neither have you.

You're a nepo, baby.

That just makes you a nepo husband.

Fine, help me move these desks.

Hi. Level 5 emergency right here.

Have either of you seen Squeaky Boat?

Why do I feel like I'm on The Voice right now?

Can you pick a different toy? We're about to have a new client come in here.

You can't play Squeaky Boat without Squeaky Boat.

Flora McFlores, come on in.

I, uh, wasn't sure I was in the right place. You absolutely are. Shade and

Everett at your service. Everett and Shade. Angie Everett, Matt Shade. Don't

let the domesticity fool you. We pride ourselves on professionalism.

Squeaky ball. There you are.

Hey, uh, we have a swimming lesson at 4.30. Don't forget.

Don't be late.

Can I get you a coffee or a tea?

No, thank you. I don't do caffeine.

Please, have a seat.

So, what can we do for you?

I was on a training dive with my husband and coach this morning, down around 35

meters, maybe more.

Don't you wear a dive watch?

I'm a scuba diver.

I lost it.

Someone attacked me.

Underwater? I was grabbed from behind.

Everything was black.

Except, no, there was this beam of light, but it was moving so fast, I

kicked free and I shot up.

But I guess I must have blacked out near the surface because when I came to, my

coach was resuscitating me.

Have you talked to the police?

I can't risk them showing down the event.

I'm going for the world record.

You almost died this morning and you still want to compete?

Blackouts happen.

I can't let them get in the way of my dream.

This world record, does it come with a purse?

$500,000.

Sponsorship deal. Vector fin.

So maybe someone wanted to knock you out of the competition. A rival, one of

their coaches. We see it.

Everyone all the time on the circuit.

We're like family.

But?

There was someone else underwater.

And I know how this is going to sound.

But I saw a... Don't worry. We've been doing this

a long time. We've heard it all.

A mermaid.

You wanted to be Detective A.

I see you and you see me Watch you blow in the lines When you're

making a scene, oh boy You've got to know What my head

overlooks The senses will show to my heart When it's watching for lies

Cause you can't escape my Private eyes They're watching you

Private eyes

They're watching you, watching you, watching you, watching you.

When I got my bell rung, I'd be off the ice for weeks. These guys almost die and

they're back at it the next day. It's impressive.

So are Buster to swallow fire.

I'm not picking up kerosene. Professional athletes are driven to do

what no one else has.

Legacy matters.

I'm very happy with Dex as my legacy.

Lung function and all.

35 meters down with no scuba tank on a single breath. I mean, it's insane.

And that's in cold water. I think the men's world record is 253 meters in the

warm Mediterranean.

Why would anyone choose to do this?

No wonder they need safety divers with oxygen tanks at the ready. Oh, no, the

safety divers don't have tanks. They have to hold their breath, too. So

basically, it's amazing that anyone survives this sport, and now our client

gets attacked on top of it? Maybe she was attacked.

She also said she saw a mermaid.

Home was our first real client in Victoria to come through the website and

pay cash up front. And something happened to her underwater this morning.

She blacked out in 10 degree water. Hence, mermaid.

Blackouts are as common as lung squeeze.

I don't want to know what that is.

But what I do know is that this is why I'm Detective A. If we turned down every

case from someone who seemed unreliable, there'd be no agency.

Hence, Everett Shea.

Hey, what do I look like?

White woman trying to break dance?

No, a mermaid.

Check with the monofins.

Maybe that's what Paloma actually saw.

Thank you.

Paloma almost stole the world record away from you in Dahab and Corsica. Are

you worried she's going to edge you out here?

No. Watching Paloma just makes me want to work harder.

Paloma, with half a million dollars on the line and the chance to be Vector

Finn's poster girl, competition's coming for you.

Daniela Veracruz would love to bring that title home to Chile.

Iris Franklin, Montana, why, Nad?

Any of her rivals could have been out there this morning.

Yeah. They're very strong divers, and I have my work cut out, so I'm supposed to

show myself.

Yeah. Do you have any other advice?

I'll find out where they were.

I'll go talk to the two people we know her with, Paloma, her husband and her

coach. Yeah.

Just a few more details for the blog. Do you guys all train out there together?

No. They're a bunch of bottom plates with debt verification tags. The event

organizers give every team their own spot to train. And is yours near Paloma

Flores? No, she and Bram were on buoy one. I'm at four.

Did you see them out there this morning? The doctor made me go for a chest x-ray.

I think Montana was out there. I was doing an interview.

It ran long.

Montana was plugging her upcoming swimsuit line.

Who's Paloma's biggest rival?

Roya. Roya. Roya Shirvani.

Lexi, brew fresh decaf for Lin Shack and Mitchell, but not their coach. He takes

a double Americano.

You keeping this on the DL?

This could hurt her reputation.

Of course.

We took a boat to her training spot.

I was on the surface.

Your breakfast burrito will be up in a minute.

Thanks, Mac. And apologies for the sleister before you.

I'll top up the ketchup, too.

Is the siren's call, why did I order this healthy, or surprisingly good

healthy? You know what? Just give it to me.

Got it.

So, you and her husband were both in the water with her the whole time.

Yeah.

Graham was her safety, waiting here in case something went wrong.

Most incidents happen in the last 10 meters of the ascent.

Wait a minute. She said that you resuscitated her after a blackout.

Why didn't her husband help her?

By the time he came up, I'd already spotted her and swam over to help.

What do you mean? She came up somewhere else?

Aren't free divers clipped at the line?

She must have been clipped when she panicked.

Or when she was attacked.

One breakfast burrito to go, one siren's call. Thanks, Lexi.

I'm gonna get this to Brad before his training dive.

Thanks.

Siren's call.

Got it.

Because it's luring me to my death.

Paloma's a stiff competition.

Are you feeling the pressure to beat her?

No. Freediving is about pushing your own limits, becoming one with the sea. It's

spiritual. I used to be a pro athlete, too. Hockey. Won the Cup in 99.

That's the year I was born.

Were you on a spiritual training dive this morning? Your spot's right next to

Paloma's, right? I was meditating with my coach.

You have to clear all anxiety.

Control your heart rate.

When your body's screaming for air and you've still got 20 meters to get to the

surface, panic kills.

We do this to know what it means to be fully alive.

And we wear these to remember our friends who died doing the same.

This one's for Jack, last month in the Bahamas. But we've all lost people.

Daniela wears three.

I should get back with my team.

Hey, break a leg.

Don't black out.

I looked it up. 59 freedivers die every year. Okay. We're signing Declan up for

badminton. It is the perfect crime.

Hold Paloma underwater long enough, her death looks like an accident. She

becomes just another wristband.

What'd you get?

Paloma wasn't alone down there. Her husband was with her. He was supposed to

be her safety, but it's her coach who saves her?

So where the hell was he?

Listen, she was taking too long, so I dove down to look for her.

Did you see her?

No, it's too dark, too much kelp. When I ran out of air, I resurfaced, and that's

when I saw Hakeem resuscitating her.

Could anyone else have been down there with her?

No, and definitely no mermaid.

You don't believe your wife?

I believe anxiety got to her, okay?

Maybe if I'd gone first like we had planned, she would have had more time to

center herself.

So, why'd you change the plan?

I was feeling off.

Couldn't slow my heart rate.

Must have cleared up.

You were just out there.

If I want to win on Friday, I gotta dive down to 50 meters.

I haven't made it past 45 in my last three training dives.

We're done.

Someone's in a bad mood. What do you think?

I think he had means and opportunity.

What's the motive?

Texas swimming lesson!

We're late!

How cool, our kid, and yet we're on Will's schedule.

Sounds like Roya's coach confirmed her alibi.

Yep, they were meditating together on land.

Well, who meditates at sea?

Wouldn't put anything past these free divers.

All right, so Roya was nowhere near Paloma this morning, and neither were

her other rivals. Just her rival husband.

Bram's intense.

That's putting it mildly. I've known guys cooler than him triple overtime at

game seven, and that's sudden death.

I wonder what it's like being married to a professional athlete.

I'm sitting right here.

You know what I mean.

Sure. I had a daughter to help keep me grounded.

Sure, when you weren't flying to Vegas with the boys for a weekend of

postseason decompressing. Coach's orders.

Speaking of, coach is going to kill us for being this late.

No, no, Will has not earned that title.

Will takes swimming seriously. It's a very important life skill, and he's

certified.

Certifiable? He's a certified infant swim coach.

Babe, the key word there is infant.

Trust me, there's no swimming to be had at this age. We'll just be bobbing in

the water to some nursery song.

The point is for Dex to get comfortable in the water, okay? And Will knows what

he's doing. Fine. But no one calls him coach.

We might have to change his nickname to Puddle Duck.

Hey,

uh, how warm is this water?

I cranked it up to 35 a week ago.

Can't wait to see my gas bill.

All right, Bram is twice Paloma's size. If he grabbed her from behind and held

her down, how'd she get away?

Um, a well-placed kick with her fin. Oh, yeah, that would do it.

Husband attacking her beats the mermaid theory.

It does.

He loves the water we're gonna be duck diving to catch the lineup before you

know it better include life jackets and oxygen I don't think I took my first

swimming lesson until I was five or six Imagine how much better your

coordination could have been You know a fight like that on one single breath.

It's a miracle Paloma survived.

How long can you hold your breath?

Longer than you.

Oh, yeah.

Yeah

How long was that?

Were we supposed to be timey?

Are the two of you done? We've got a swim lesson in progress here.

Who held their breath longer?

Guys, life isn't a competition.

Everyone rides their own wave.

Even if their wave was a tie. No ties!

Hate to break it to you, kid, but that's a gene pool.

Callum is taking me to his family's country estate.

It's 250 years old and still has wine in the cellar from like 100 years ago.

Meaning his parents. That's big.

Don't worry, Dad. It's just a weekend.

Nobody's ring shopping, okay? Better not be. I don't want you becoming Lady Jules

and staying away forever, okay? At least with Liam, I didn't have to worry about

you coming back.

Okay, well, Callum's not a lord, and Liam is great, but...

I'm on a path, and I thankfully am still finding his.

I should go pack.

Tell Angie I say hi, okay? Yeah, I will. Hey, send me pictures of this family

estate, will you?

Especially the wine cellar.

Okay, bye.

Okay. I love you, kid.

Jules says hi.

She's meeting Callum's parents this weekend.

Oh, I hope that means she's bringing him here for Christmas. No, not a chance. He

can eat his figgy pudding or whatever they do in England. We get Jules all to

ourselves. Okay.

It's no figgy pudding, but Dex just had two helpings of sweet potatoes. He's

carb-loading like Michael Phelps.

What are you doing?

Working.

Detective A doesn't rest until the case is solved.

Mom A doesn't rest until dessert is served.

Teething biscuits or milk? Both. And Mommy had one, too.

Hey, check this out.

Paloma was Bram's safety diver at a competition in Ireland. She thought he

was blacking out, so she brought him to the surface.

Bram! Bram! Stop!

You're gonna mean this!

I'm sorry, okay? I thought that you were... No!

No, you didn't think that's the problem. I was fine.

I would have had it. Hey, Bram, relax. You thought you were... Don't!

Bram. I had you.

Bram.

Bram! Back off! It was between me and my wife.

Wow. Bram has a temper. Yeah. And if he blames Paloma for costing him a world

record, maybe sabotaging her dive is payback.

Rem used to hold most of the freediving world records, but he's fallen in the

rankings since Ireland. Now Paloma's star's been rising.

Could be someone's not happy to be Diver B in the relationship.

If Paloma doesn't compete on Saturday, she doesn't steal his spotlight, he

stays Diver A.

That must be tough.

Fighting to hold on to a title instead of, you know, passing it on.

Wait a minute, do you think that you're Paloma here? The student surpassing the

teacher? That would make you my Mr. Miyagi. Wax on, wax off. That's hot.

Listen, as your mentor, I would like to offer you some feedback.

Leadership is earned, not given. Sure. And here's some feedback for you. Great

leaders know when to step back so that others may step up. So we're in

agreement. I'm still the leader. I'm just saying, sometimes Detective B

becomes Detective A.

Okay, I'll go talk to Hakeem. If anyone's got the inside track, it's the

coach. Go ahead. A real detective knows that if you want the dirt, you talk to

the person behind the bar. Or in this case, the counter.

Mac? Trust me, nothing gets by that guy.

I would

love

that table.

Thank you.

Hey, I will grab a double espresso and a chocolate chip cookie, please.

Not a free diver, I take it?

No, I enjoy breathing.

Cheers to that.

I missed a spot.

Can't stand water stains.

That's ironic, coming from a man who caters to divers.

They're an infestation.

Some of them have been here for weeks trying to acclimate to the cold water.

You must hear all the stories.

Do you...

Noticed any tensions between them?

Professional jealousies, rivalries, that sort of thing?

Oh, you're a muckraker.

You prefer journalists.

Well, they talk a good game. Peace, love, being one with the ocean.

But they're a bunch of navel-gazers, obsessed with breaking records.

I'm sure.

Oi, you're six and a half minutes late, and table 12 needs more napkins. Sorry,

Mac, my dive was incredible.

The abyss must have been 30 feet. I saw an octopus.

So Paloma Flores seems to be the superstar attraction here.

You sense any tension between her husband and her? Oh, a man like Bram

Davies only cares about himself.

Not sure he even thinks about his wife.

Really? You care to share with a muckraker?

Well, I saw Bram get into a young lady's car the other day.

Oh.

Okay,

yeah, things were rocky between them for a while, but there's no way he attacked

her. He's trying to make a marriage work.

It's hard.

They're both super competitive. So are me and my wife, but I've never treated

her like that.

Graham can get jealous.

There's this underwater videographer that's been in love with Paloma for

years, Fabian Bouchard.

Anything ever happen between them?

I don't know.

It's not like Graham's eye hasn't wandered.

Hey, what'd you get from her coach?

Paloma has a long-term admirer. Could be a jealousy motive for Bram. What'd you

get? Well, Max saw him drive off with another woman, so maybe he's having the

affair? So Bram tries to knock off his wife so he can be with his mistress?

Everyone loves Paloma. He can't divorce her without taking a huge hit to his

image, so he makes her death look like an accident?

It's a solid theory.

Yeah, back to PI basics.

Catch the cheating spouse.

I'll track down Bram.

See if I can catch him in the act. Already on it, Detective B.

Graham definitely has a girlfriend.

And another big reason he'd want his wife out of the picture.

I know this is hard.

Sorry you had to find out this way. Why are you taking pictures of my husband

with our surrogate?

Your surrogate? She's his cousin.

Bram and I are having a baby. It was his idea to use the surrogate so that I

could keep diving.

I can't believe you've wasted so much time.

Loma. No, this was a mistake.

You're fired.

Guess we're both Detective F.

Fire day two. It's a record no one wants. Do you agree if we call it a tie,

it won't affect our win percentage?

No, why did we bring her those photos without doing due diligence? We were

under the gun. All signs pointed to an affair.

Maybe if you hadn't have made this a competition.

If I hadn't, everything with you is a competition.

Me? You're so used to being center ice that you make yourself center stage.

I'm flattered that you remembered my position, but if anyone loves center

stage, it's you.

You've never once given me center stage as detective.

What? I left you the agency to run while I was out here. How is that not- Haha,

so you admit it. I was Detective M- A mermaid.

What? Look, there's a mermaid.

And you get paid to do this?

Mostly it's a hobby.

My friends and I like belonging to the sea.

There are more of you?

Mhm. But we could use a merman.

Were any of you in the water off Ogden Point yesterday morning?

Yeah, my pod and I went for a swim and then we posed for some photos.

Did you see any free divers out there? We swam away from all that.

Too hectic.

I did see a dive boat, but only a couple of divers underwater.

A couple? One with a monofin swimming to the surface.

Hold on, Matt.

And the other deeper down with a tank swimming away.

A tank, so not a free diver? No, definitely a scuba diver.

Okay, so according to the mermaid, Paloma was coming up while the scuba

diver was swimming down away from her. You're witness is a mermaid?

Sweet. It wasn't Michelle, was it? You know a mermaid?

Yeah, we went tree planting together.

Great control of her tail.

Okay, so if they were swimming away from the attack, where are they surfacing? A

dive boat? No, a boat attracts too much attention.

Swim back to the breakwater where the scuba divers go. Blend in.

Wouldn't Hakeem or Bram have seen the bubbles from the scuba tank? Bram told

us he was down pretty deep. Water's murky, easy to miss. What about their

buddy? First rule of scuba, never dive alone.

First rule of attempted murder, never bring a buddy.

So, the attacker strikes Paloma at 35 meters.

Can scuba divers even go that deep? Sure, with deep dive certification.

And heliox?

If not, look upon thy death.

Wait, that might shrink our suspect pool. How many dive shops in Victoria?

Uh, four or five, I think.

Ah! This is the one.

You totally captured our essence.

If we can find out who filled their dive tanks with Heliox just before Paloma's

attack, we may have our scuba diver. Right.

Now we just need to get rehired.

Wow. I'm so sorry I didn't believe you. I barely even believe myself.

I'm so embarrassed. Would you two even... Absolutely.

We accept.

We also strongly advise you to withdraw.

I can't do that.

You need to find this guy before tomorrow.

Okay.

We understand there's an underwater videographer who may have feelings for

you. Fabien Bouchard, yes.

He always seems to know where you are and magically shows up. And you, she

slept with him.

Once, and only because you were sleeping with Samira.

The guy's been in love with you for years. She gave him false hope. When was

the last time you saw Fabian? Wednesday. I told him Bram and I were having a

baby. How did he take it? He wished me the best?

Come on.

One man wishes the woman he loves the best with another man. I mean, please.

Fabian was going to attack anyone. Wouldn't it be Bram?

Not necessarily.

Could be a case of if he can't have her, no one can.

Any idea where Fabian's staying?

No Fabian Bouchard's registered anywhere. I'll keep digging. And this

falls under my emergency rate because I had to skip stats.

How about we get a discount for getting you out of stats?

I'd say there's zero probability.

That kid's got all the unearned confidence of a used car salesman. I

swear, every time we talk to her, I feel like I'm negotiating with myself.

She is not afraid to set boundaries.

Unlike Paloma and Bram.

Didn't that all seem a bit... French?

Yeah. They were so blasé about their affairs.

But the funny thing is, seeing them together, I don't think Bram's our guy.

Yeah. Both so driven. I mean, it makes sense that they found each other.

Kind of like us.

Except they're competing in different divisions.

So if we had men's and women's, we'd both be Detective A? Well, I'd be, but I

haven't seen your competition.

Another one.

What'd I say? A death wish is mandatory in this sport.

All right.

Hey, man.

Oh, hi.

That's, uh...

This guy ever been in here? Oh, I don't know, dude. I'm only here part-time.

Is there any way you could check your records? See if a Fabian Bouchard rented

gear or filled tanks in the last 72 hours?

What are you guys, like, some sort of cops or something?

Nope.

Just a routine audit.

Owner wants to make sure everyone's keeping good records. Yeah, right.

This is because Taylor ratted me out for loaning gear to my buddy, isn't it?

You show us your records, we'll give you a pass on that.

Sweet.

Fabian Bouchard, online order, one tank, Heliox.

And when was that?

Two days ago.

Looks like he returned his tank but lost his headlamp.

Dude's not getting his deposit back.

No.

Paloma described seeing a bright, fast-moving beam of light.

If Fabian was wearing a headlamp when he attacked her, he could have lost it in

the struggle.

The ocean is my only true love now.

Cringe. Posted Wednesday.

Well, that's the day she told him she was having a baby with Bran.

And there's no mystery when Fabian had his one night with Paloma.

He changed his relationship status from single to in a relationship to it's

complicated in 30 hours.

Hmm. Complicated for him, maybe. Try being in a poly relationship with two

other Pams. If we could find that missing headlamp, maybe there's some

hard evidence on it to prove Fabian's our guy.

He's not.

He was on a flight to Sydney the night of the attack.

So someone posing as Fabian rented the tank and headlamp. Couldn't he have

attacked Paloma then continued on to the airport?

No, you can't dive that deep and fly in the same day you get the bends. So who

had access to Fabian's credit card? Have you seen the divers in that cafe?

Their stuff's everywhere.

Anyone could have lifted it. Whoever rented that gear chose Fabian as his

fall guy, which means the attack was premeditated. The assailant knew where

Paloma would be diving. And exactly what depth she was going for. So what's to

stop them from trying again on Saturday?

You know, if we can't get her to quit, we'll need help to keep her safe.

So, to recap, your suspect was a mermaid and something about a cousin surrogate?

You're confusing all the important details.

Just focus.

Don't tell me to focus.

Okay, I get it. There's a lot of moving parts. It really helped me to see it

drawn. Do you have a whiteboard I could borrow? Forget it. All I need is a

napkin and a pen.

Right. I'll just try to explain it.

There was a premeditated attack on our client. The one who fired you? Yes, but

then she rehired us when we found the mermaid.

Okay, let me just call off this major drug bust 18 months in the making

because a mermaid attacked a scuba diver. No, the mermaid's our eyewitness.

Our client's a free diver. Let me start again.

Okay, please don't.

I'm gonna help you. Okay. Listen carefully.

Here's what you do.

Tell your client to stay out of the ocean.

Rude. I'm not sure she understood all the nuances of our case, but overall,

Detective A had a very productive conversation with Xiao.

Sounds more like Xiao shut down Detective B.

Wouldn't say shut down.

She simply had to stop Paloma from diving.

But we know that's never going to happen.

Xiao wants our client to stay out of the ocean, but she didn't say anything about

us.

Huh?

I knew you were listening when I told you about that dogfish I saw diving the

HMCS Saskatchewan off Nanaimo.

Right. Listening.

And now we're scuba buddies.

You're just helping me on a case.

The way buddies do.

You are not going to believe the bounty of the Salish Sea. I know you're a fair

weather diver.

I'm deep dive certified.

Well, yeah.

Well, you did all your dives at tourist resorts.

Hey, no judgment. I'm just saying, I know you don't have time like me to

master deep diving and cave diving, wreck diving. Enough.

We're looking for a headlamp, okay? This is work.

Right. For the write-offs. Smart.

Hey, we should go over the signals.

I know the signals.

Get with your buddy.

I'm okay.

Share air.

Nice.

Me? You?

Over there.

Time is of the essence. Me and you, the great beyond. Beyond the horizon.

In the water.

Now.

I see that now.

His middle name's for my dad, and we wanted a name that started with D to

honor Shade's father, but Daniel, Derek, David, we're all so... My bro's name's

David. Hard to choose from.

Yeah. How about you guys?

Jack, for a boy.

For our friends.

Peter, if we have a girl.

Our original.

Mission accomplished.

You found the headlamp?

No, but we did find this. My dive watch.

Tangled in some bull kelp. It stopped recording your vitals when it got

knocked off, but it looks like you dove past your target.

This can't be right. Baby, you hit my depth.

You're winning tomorrow.

You see that?

There's no competition there. Just two people supporting each other's dreams.

It's beautiful.

Why would the attacker wait deeper than Paloma has ever gone?

What if they weren't waiting for her?

You weren't the target.

Ram was.

Okay. Any idea who would do this to you?

I've pretty much pissed off everyone at some point, but no one's ever tried to

kill me.

Just like we said, we see the same people at every competition. If someone

wanted to sabotage Bram, they could have done it at any time. So why here? Why

now?

You said you were feeling off before your training, Dev. That's why Paloma

went first.

Yeah. Yeah, I had trouble regulating my breathing, slowing my heart rate.

Someone could have slipped you something, a stimulant to make you more

vulnerable underwater.

What did you eat or drink that morning?

Hakeem got me my breakfast burrito and orange juice, same as always.

He's got no reason to hurt me. The better Bram dives, the better his

coaching reputation is. The assailant must have figured out they had the wrong

target. Which explains how you were able to get away. They let you go.

Which means... No.

No, I'm not withdrawing.

It's the last dive before our baby arrives.

It's... It's the last dive of my career.

He can't miss this.

Well, we'll do our best to catch them, but we can't guarantee your safety.

No one ever can.

How did we get the wrong victim? What else did we miss? We're already in a

time crunch. Now we're really behind.

Let's go over what we know.

This was planned down to the last detail.

The attacker went to great lengths to cover their tracks. But also risked a

lot by carrying out the attack that far underwater.

What does taking Bram out of the competition get you?

I mean, he's good, but he's not likely to win.

Madoff's got to be highly personal.

Who was Bram sleeping with when Paloma slept with Fabian?

Samira? Maybe her boyfriend found out about their fling.

His name's on our list of divers with deep water training.

Yeah, but their fling was over a year ago. Why attack him now?

Maybe he's been planning it all this time. Last chance to do it before Bram

retires. Last chance to get away with murder by making it look like a tragic

accident. You're just another wristband theory.

Men's event starts in less than an hour.

Detective A's work best under pressure.

Hey, what if there's a connection between the motive and the M.O.? That

diver, Jack, who died in the Bahamas last month.

What if Bram had something to do with his death?

Bram wears a wristband for him. If someone was responsible for getting you

killed, I'd wait underwater to get even.

Oh, that's why I love you. Such a romantic.

It is the first freedive event since Jack died.

Maybe our assailant's been planning this for a month.

I'll ask Rain to find everything she can on Jack's death.

All right, I'll track down Hakeem. See if he can let me know who got a tamper

with Bram's food.

Well, the juice was sealed.

I guess it's possible somebody drugged his food.

Who'd you get it from?

Well, Lexi, the server at the breakwater.

Well, why was she trying to hurt Bram? She doesn't even know him.

Bram and Jack were friends.

Jack disappeared on a solo dive. Probably got caught in the current. So

Bram had nothing to do with his death.

Just wrote a nice tribute on his socials. That's all I could find. What

about any of the other divers who died recently?

Nothing recent, but I just sent you an article from five years ago. There's a

guy, Scott McAllister.

We saw this at the dive shop.

Scott was a local.

He was Bram's safety diver into Hob.

Bram got disoriented.

Scott gave his life to save him.

A server who handled Bram's food, Lexi. She wears a wristband. Could be for

Scott. She came in late after a dive.

Let me know if you need a refill.

Excuse me.

Could you, um, tell me what's good here? Sure.

What you in the mood for?

Ah, you know, I really don't know.

I'm vegan, no gluten, allergic to strawberries and shellfish.

Okay.

You know, I just can't decide between the house salad and the Caesar with no

dressing.

Is the lettuce local and organic?

Caffeine pills.

That's what you put in Bram's breakfast burrito.

What? That would cause anxiety and rapid breathing. You had access to Fabian's

credit card you served him and Paloma last Wednesday.

You knew he'd make the perfect patsy, so you used that credit card to rent scuba

gear. Planned everything brilliantly, except you attacked Paloma, not Bram.

I don't know who you are or what the hell you're talking about.

I take caffeine pills when I have to pull double shifts.

I serve the food. I don't make it.

And I have my own dive gear. I don't rent.

You wear that bracelet for Scott McAllister?

Yeah. So what?

Do you blame Bram for his death?

Why would I blame that guy? I barely knew Scott.

It was an accident. I wear it for Mac.

For Mac?

My boss, Ewan McAllister, he owns the cafe.

Scott was his son.

Where's Mac now?

Safety lanyard on.

official depth gauge on enjoy this brim be in the moment

line set at 50 meters our baby is gonna be so purple

ready to dive

Let's go.

That's the trouble.

Paloma, bring him.

I'm okay

Looking for a clean getaway, Mac?

Wouldn't hold your breath.

Oh,

I

got a snort out of her.

A snort at you or a snort with you?

With me.

We had no idea Scott's dad lived here.

Or that he ran the cafe.

Scotty gave his life for your dream.

I would have done the same for him.

I dedicate every dive to his memory. You don't get it! But you will.

When your child is born, you will.

Hey. Hey.

It's okay.

Okay?

It's okay.

Dags, you're gonna need your word on this.

You've never taken up freediving. Don't put that on him.

What if it's his calling? The man who broke every bone in his body going over

the falls does not get to advise on extracurriculars.

Okay, we'll circle back. What I want to know is, can we officially put this

Detective A.B. thing to rest?

Yes. Yes.

Excellent.

Okay, bedtime.

There you go, buddy. Let's go say goodnight. Goodnight, love.

Hey, buddy.

Thank you. Night-night.

I think we both know who the real Detective A has always been.

You.

Hey, I like being center, but not as much as I like giving you the assist.

I'd say we're co-As.

So what are we going to call the agency?

What about an anagram of our names?

Harvdester Investigations. Sounds like farm equipment.

Chevrolet.

Sports drink. Right.

Shandy Tevere?

Maybe you have to report tequila shots.

Well, it sounds West Coast, but still professional.

Ocean, sand, sailing.

Maybe we should sleep on it.

Let me try something.

Call me.

Call me.

Ring, ring.

Ocean West Investigations. Oh, that's it. But am I going to sound as hot as

you saying it?

Well, try it.

Ocean West Investigations.

I'd want that guy in my case.

He's all yours.
