This is the Clyde Coastguard.

I've got a body tangled in a net.

Something's sticking in him.

Quick as you can.

Call me Annika.

Captain Ahab spends a year hunting Moby Dick

and it's a pretty challenging year by anyone's standards.

Typhoons hit the boat, lightning strikes the mast and

pretty sure he loses a false leg, and also most of his crew,

including his first mate, Starbuck.

Actually, can I get a coffee?

When Ahab finally sights the whale,

he launches his harpoon, but it flips his tail

and smashes his boat to pieces.

Ahab gets the line caught around his neck

and, well, he's dragged in to the water where he basically drowns.

And that's him gone.

It's a terrible voyage.

Everyone goes mad and no-one even knows if the whale dies or not.

One thing I do know?

This great white whale definitely did.

Thanks.

DS McAndrews.

So well done for getting DI. Thanks.

Bit flowery, but otherwise it's a very moving sentiment.

Coastguard call you, then?

Yeah, he's pretty shaken up.

So do we all get these jackets, then?

Oh, this might be yours, actually, it's pretty... it's roomy.

So did you do it? That's what you'r leading with, is it?

Well, sometimes you get lucky with an early confession.

You haven't changed. Yes, I have.

Get him to the morgue, I'll see you tomorrow.

This is how I went to school, look how popular it made me.

You haven't got any friends.

Yeah, but not... This is a boat.

The new school's not even on the river,

I have to walk the rest of the way.

Well, then, you can describe this bit, the wind in your hair,

the spray in your face.

Everyone will think I've been arrested.

I've got to say Morgan, I'm not ruling that out.

Want me to bring your tea, ma'am?

No, I'll do it out there.

Don't want them to think I'm a dick

for having a big private office, you know. Want to be a team player.

This is your office, isn't it? Yeah.

I'll...

Morning, everyone.

I'm DI Annika Strandhed.

I know you weren't expecting to start for another week,

but early morning body waits for no man.

So let's take it as red we've done the name games

and the trust exercises and... make a start.

Just through there.

Ooh, body sensor.

From documentation on the body,

the victim is Arthur Hendry, the owner of... Oh, hiya.

DS Clark, is it? Tyrone.

Did they send you the notes?

I read them in the cab. I can jump in if you want.

From documentation on the body the victim is Arthur Hendry.

Owner of Aquatic Watch.

A wee boat business where folk can photograph whales,

dolphins and, I don't know, mermaids.

Reported missing by his wife Isla. OK, thank you.

Blah.

Oh, come on!

Pathology have sent us an estimate

of between 20 and 2200 hours for time of death.

He was already dead when he was dumped in the water.

We'll be breaking the news to the relatives after this

so I don't know if you want to...

Yeah, yeah, holiday's over.

Cause of death, um, well, a massive harpoon to the head.

Michael's our search diver,

and, almost immediately spotted the harpoon might be a factor.

Call that an instinct.

OK, we'll need a search area for where the body was dumped,

factor in the storm earlier that day.

Was a bastard, wasn't it? I lost a weather balloon.

You have your own weather balloon? Not any more.

So it's a new unit, I should've got cupcakes,

but I got some...

..salted liquorice from Norway, it's an acquired taste.

Um...

Well, I'll leave it here, and then you can just help yourselves.

Was sent on a leadership course before taking this job.

I went on a mini break to Madrid instead.

I regret that now.

Get yourself home, Finlay.

Can I use your phone?

Could you tell us when you last saw your husband, Isla?

Here.

At this time yesterday.

And then where did he go?

We don't know.

But you were all supposed to meet later for dinner

at the Green Garden? Aye.

For his birthday.

Would he have gone in to work?

No, I don't think so.

We've no bookings, the casuals have gone for the season.

Finlay's the only one left.

Who's Finlay? Cousin. Looks after the boat yard.

Was your father in any trouble?

Did he have any recent run-ins, or...?

Oh, do we have to do this now?

Come here.

I, I know it's a shock, we'll give you some space.

But, I'm afraid we have to identify the body.

I'll do it.

So I don't know if you're an expert

on the history of harpoons, but I am.

Or rather, Google is.

And I can tell you that they date back to Palaeolithic times.

And there's a reference to them in the Bible,

and, of course, Hermon Melville had

a lot to say about them in Moby Dick.

And me too, as it happens,

because I think death by harpoon

suggests someone is trying to get a point across.

OK, fine.

There are quite a few injuries.

I'm afraid you have to say it.

It's Arthur.

We'll arrange for you to have it back.

We fished all our lives.

Mackerel.

Oh, Christ, what a life.

Then we saw this boat for sale, painted it,

did trips for the tourists, made a real go of it.

We wanted to retire.

Pass something decent on to the kids.

That was the dream anyway.

That swear'st grace o'erboard, no oath on shore?

Hast thou no mouth by land? What is the news?

OK. And then, Morgan, is it?

You say, "The best news is that

"we've safely found our king and company."

The best news is that we've safely found our king and company.

OK. Bit flat but you're new, we'll get you there by tomorrow.

So then you exit and Prospero enters.

What's this? Tyrone came looking fo

Finlay and thinks he's got a crime scene.

The body being dumped here would fit with the storm,

the tidal flow and where we pulled him out the water. OK.

I don't need to be the first you call

but I definitely need to be in the top... three.

Morgan.

Hello.

Did you see the open padlock?

It wasn't forced so it must've been opened by someone with a key.

My money's on Finlay.

Well, or any of the Hendrys.

Nah, they were at the Green Garden, alibis check out.

There was a booking for four, only three show up.

Arthur was the no-show

cos he was getting himself killed in his own boat yard.

You can't make Finlay a suspect

cos you found his prints, he works here.

Sure. Let me show you.

Wrapping these up quickly

doesn't mean you get to go back to Malaga or wherever you were.

Biarritz. Oh. Nice.

So I think that Finlay was doing maintenance

when Arthur comes in and there's a confrontation.

The conflicts in family businesses are always about power or money.

Yeah. I just don't get the impression

there's much of either in this company.

Well, then maybe he was upset about not being invited to dinner.

Either way, his temper gets the better of him

and there's a struggle, there's smashed glass, a kicked in seat.

Boot prints? No, the storm eliminated anything useful.

But Finlay grabs a spear gun, fires it, pins the victim to the cabin.

Hm. Just because he wasn't invited to dinner?

The puncture mark on the boat matches the harpoon wound

in the body, and we found a trace of blood in the cabin.

I think we've got the scene. Hmm.

OK. I buy it.

Why did you transfer?

You could've gone up the ranks of border command.

Well, arresting traffickers gets a bit samey.

Plus, I heard about you. What did you hear?

Well, your conviction rate was so high because of

how you looked at an investigation.

And how am I looking at this one?

Well, why use a harpoon?

And why was there one on a sightseeing boat anyway?

Exactly.

Well, apparently you get...

..the same conviction rate

if you just stick a pin in the crime board.

Isn't that Finlay?

Coming back to clean up I bet.

Hey. Hey, can we have a word, Finlay?

Hey! Oi!

Is he armed? Maybe.

Maybe? Maybe? how is that helpful? I didn't see.

There. Oi, you!

Hey, stop!

Where is he?

The unit's first arrest.

Ah, let's hope they all come... shrink wrapped.

Interview with Finlay Morris, time of day as stamped.

Enjoying yourself?

What, chatting with you when I should be having dinner with my daughter?

What do you think?

What, me commenting your parenting?

You entered the Aquatic Watch yard at 1500 hours,

upon seeing our official securing the site, you ran from the scene.

Thought you might be Sheriff Officers.

We identified as police. Eventually.

Were you surprised to see forensics at your yard?

It's not my yard.

Oh, so is that it?

You put in all the work, you're family,

and yet Arthur treats you as the odd-job man?

I loved him.

He was better than all of them put together.

So a father figure, was he? And what if he was?

Some people hate their fathers.

Well, I hated mine.

And Arthur took me in.

Thanks for the sympathy.

Where were you on Friday night?

Like I told you, I was at the pub. Yeah.

Only two miles from the yard.

I couldn't walk. Ask the landlord.

If you have enough evidence to charge my client for an offence,

then now will be the time to do so.

Otherwise we won't be making any further comment.

Except to say it's been a bloody pleasure.

Are we done?

Hey. Sorry! Still up?

Oh!

Jeez, you scared the life out of me.

How was school?

Oh, and you cooked. Eggs.

Might save it till the morning. Don't bother.

I'm sorry, Morgan.

I want to go back to my old school.

Well, that's not an option, is it?

You don't even answer my messages.

Well, there was, like... a chase

and an interview with a suspect and a crime scene

and I forgot the cupcakes...

And, you know what, nothing.

I'm...

I'm sorry. Too late.

Hey, maybe you're having trouble fitting in because you're so chippy!

OK, so I am now going to justify...

..my mothering strategy.

Shame cos it was rock solid.

Michael? Finlay's in surgery.

He's been the victim of a hit-and-run. When?

Finlay went to the hotel after the interview,

he was run over in a road behind th hotel, died about ten minutes ago.

Christ.

We had to let him go. OK.

Um, you catch up with the CSOs at the hotel.

Any witnesses? Not yet.

Is that your daughter?

Yeah, I'd introduce you, but...

We've just had our only suspect killed. Yeah.

You get home.

Do you have a patient named Finlay Morris here?

I'm sorry, I can't help you.

Hey.

Were you asking about Finlay Morris?

Is he awake? He's dead.

Look, I'm gonna make you talk to me anyway.

How about a hot drink?

If you're caught up in something, I can help you.

He wanted some pills to calm him down, he was scared.

Do you want to talk about that? OK.

So, Finlay was on his way to get some tranquilisers when he was hit.

His friend said he was anxious abou something he'd seen.

Did she say what? No.

But then he was knocked over so perhaps he was right to be anxious.

Hm. Do the Hendrys know?

Family Liaison was there first thing.

We've been told about Finlay. I know.

I'm sorry.

Mum says I'm not very good at processing things.

It's a hard thing to process.

The death of your dad and now your cousin.

Was Finlay scared about something or someone in particular?

He didn't really talk to me much.

Would he have said anything to your mum or your sister?

They're inside if you wanna ask.

Who's this?

Found him on the road. He can't fly.

Could you help me with him?

Well, you know, you could, take him to a vet, they know.

I can't drive. Maybe an Uber?

So a friend saw Finlay

shout at the driver of the car,

something about not keeping quiet any more.

She couldn't see the driver, though.

Then he was run over by a green four-by-four.

Sounds like he might've witnessed the murder,

wanted something for it and then someone decided to shut him up.

Finlay also owned a green four-by-four.

CCTV's got it driving a few streets

away half an hour after the accident,

when Finlay was in hospital.

So either it was coincidentally stolen or the driver

run him over with his own truck.

Good, let's find it.

And we've isolated an unknown DNA at the yard. Could be something?

Could be our killer? Mm.

Well, that's the best we've got so far.

You said he had something from the pub manager?

Yeah, he said he let Finlay use the phone the morning after the murder.

The number he called was registered to a Mandy Howson.

I've got her home and work address.

Well, you do one, I'll do the other?

Play nicely.

What's that? It's a pigeon.

Right.

A word. Terrific.

So obviously, we're all thrilled about the body count doubling.

Anyone near to being arrested?

We're a new unit.

Well, you know Michael, they're not completely new.

I remember him being a lot funnier.

Yeah, that's what happens. I used to be hilarious.

I've arranged a press conference today.

Clear it up, Annika.

Was this not day one of that leadership course?

Uh, yeah.

Day two.

I thought we were getting a press officer?

Yeah. Well, look, let's just try to get through it.

I've got my daughter's play in...

..well, pretty much now.

Uh, OK, ladies and gentlemen, you'v read the statement about the deaths

of Arthur Hendry and Finlay Morris.

Uh, we're treating both deaths as suspicious and I would urge

anyone with any information to contact the Marine Homicide Unit.

DS McAndrews will give you the contact numbers.

He'll give you them in due course.

Were both murders at the boat yard?

That information hasn't been made public.

The hit-and-run was outside the Foxglove Hotel.

Two people in the same family, could it be a serial killer?

We're steering clear of speculation, thanks. Yeah.

Uh, especially, um, stuff like that.

But you haven't ruled it out?

Rest assured, we're working hard to solve this case.

In the meantime, try to avoid releasing unauthorised information.

It doesn't help us or the family.

Just trying to do my job here. As are we all. We're done.

Thanks for coming. Especially you.

You're a real treat.

Who the hell is she?

Why didn't you wrestle her to the ground?

You know, we used to be better at this. I went for your job.

What, leading the unit?

I've lived in this city most of my life, I don't know how many

bodies I've pulled out of its waters.

That job is mine, Annika.

That's a standard Breminar, OK?

Mandy Howson?

What's this about?

The murders of Arthur Hendry and Finlay Morris.

No... No, you don't.

They've got nothing to do with me.

How about you come with me, Mandy? Stay where you are.

Everyone, leave.

Look, I'm just here cos Finlay called you.

Get away from me, I'm not involved.

That swear'st grace o'erboard, not oath on shore.

Hast thou no mouth by land? What is the news?

So when did Tyrone last check in?

Half an hour ago.

Haven't heard from him since? OK.

Blair, look, I've gotta go, I'm at my daughter's play.

You track him down and then leave me a message.

What are you doing back here? Couldn't get a seat.

You look... transformed.

Don't want to go on.

That swear'st grace o'erboard, not oath on shore.

Hast thou no mouth by land? What is the news?

The best news is that we have safely found our king and company.

The best news is that I get taken in a crappy boat

to a crappy school to be in a totally crappy play.

Why would you do that?

They're unlikely to follow us on water.

I meant, hit the alarm.

So you're not tonight's talking point.

Why would you say that on stage, more to the point?

You told me to give out boat information.

OK. Look, it's fine if drama's not your bag,

we'll find you a different club.

How about gymnastics? Could sign you up tomorrow?

Can't I find my own thing?

I would, I would be delighted if you did.

Take you to anything. Seriously.

At any time.

In this boat?

Or... or in the car? The car's even worse.

Look, that car is a 900 turbo classic from 1993

which is the same year that REM had a number one with...

Tyrone's being held hostage at the sports centre.

Why have you given me this?

Is this pigeon my new support animal?

I'm at the scene with an AR unit. Oh, my God.

Her name is Mandy Howson, she's armed and in the room with Tyrone.

She'll only talk to the boss.

Hm, it's an overrated role.

Mandy.

My name's Annika.

Can you let me know if my officer's all right?

He's stressing me out.

I'm gonna come in.

I'm quite stressy, too, but then

I've just been watching a teenager in The Tempest.

How's it going?

I've got nothing to do with this.

So why are you pointing that at my officer?

He was trying to arrest me.

Just wanted to ask some questions.

How about we swap him out, you'll still have me and we can chat?

OK.

You were talking about Finlay.

We used to work together at the boat yard.

He called me all the time, I can't help that.

He was freaked out about something, said he only trusted me.

The last couple of days there were loads...

"Mandy, I need to see you.

"Something bad happened and I don't know what to do."

"Pick up, Mandy.

"I swear to God, it's got out of hand.

"I'm not safe any more."

What got out of hand?

I don't know, do I?

Did you call him back?

Need to move on and I can't when he keeps calling.

Move on from what?

You ever been blamed for someone's death?

Have you got any idea what that's like?

OK, I... OK, look, you've threatened an officer,

you know I have to bring you in.

But we'll look after you,

you won't be charged with anything you didn't do, I promise.

I'm a really good detective.

I always get to the truth.

Well, mostly.

Cross-checking Mandy's DNA with the unknown at the crime scene.

You sound pretty sure it's her.

Well, she did just hold me hostage for an hour, that's not nothing.

She's being processed by the duty officer.

Well, Finlay's messages sounded lik he really wanted Mandy's help.

All right, I'll lead the interview with her.

She said that she'd been blamed for someone's death.

OK, that too, then.

Morgan!

Are you OK? I mean, if you need to... talk to someone.

I've had worse.

See you in the morning.

Morgan!

Ha, OK, there you are. Where are you?

Morgan's dad isn't involved.

It's a choice I made.

Could've done with the help when she was a baby.

Didn't realise that even at 15

it'd be handy just to, I dunno,

have someone saving me a seat at the school play.

Or even just to tell me where she bloody is from time to time.

You know.

The pigeon went crazy in the house, I didn't know what to do.

Oh, it's all right. The vet's setting his wing.

OK, but can you answer your mobile?

I got worried on my own.

New house. You'll get used to it.

Why don't you bring anyone home? You know, like boyfriends.

Cos I don't go to exciting social groups like gymnastics club.

Don't joke. Is it because of me?

God, why would you think that?

I can be crazy too. Excuse me.

How much?!

So how come Finlay could afford a four-by-four?

He did illegal hunting trips with Arthur on the side.

That's why they have a harpoon on the boat,

and it's another reason I didn't wanna talk to him.

Or any of them. That and the drowning.

You were employed by the Hendrys when the drowning happened, yeah?

It was three years ago.

Aquatic Watch was called Ocean Life then.

I was just a guide, it was a holiday job.

This one Saturday we had terrible weather,

shouldn't have been out at all,

and Danny Hendry was driving the boat really erratically,

hitting all the big waves side on.

A 19-year-old girl, Blanche, went overboard. Drowned.

Her?

Blanche Sutherland.

She was just a student.

Her mum and dad were onboard, too.

Still remember them screaming.

They couldn't swim, but the dad Robert nearly jumped in anyway,

I had to hold them back.

I got blamed to protect the company.

Even though it was Danny's fault.

I was nearly prosecuted, I lost everything.

I'm only just surviving.

So you can see why, you know...

You pointed a crossbow at my head.

Thought I was being blamed for another death.

Wish the Sutherlands never stepped foot on that boat.

I think they wish the same.

Anything from Mandy's interview?

Well, she definitely hates the Hendrys.

They sacked her when a customer drowned,

she says it wasn't her fault, but she's not a suspect.

She was at home during both murders.

We've got the footage from her block's video doorbell.

This is the family of the drowned girl, the Sutherlands.

They never got over it, apparently.

I mean, the insurance paid a decent settlement to the Sutherlands,

Ocean Life were fined,

and rebranded as Aquatic Watch, but they've struggled.

Still struggling.

Online complaints about an old boat, grumpy guides, no whales.

Pretty grim.

And I think it's worth a trip to the Sutherlands,

the company lost their daughter.

Would they wait three years to get back at them?

It's how long Captain Ahab stayed mad, and that's for you, Michael.

No, I enjoyed it. Still brought you albatross. Not for long.

Has no-one touched any of these?

Hey, you seen Danny Hendry?

I think they're all out.

That one of his rescues?

Well, it started as one of his.

Quite intense, really.

You known the family long?

I know Trish from school.

She gets a bit frustrated with him.

In what way? Brother-sister stuff.

Last one was a few days ago when she couldn't go to her dad's party,

think the rest of them gave her a hard time.

She didn't go to the restaurant?

Want me to say you called? Thanks.

You weren't at the Green Garden the night of your father's death.

I never said I was.

Your mother did when she reported him missing.

Why would she lie?

Look, I wasn't there because

I was meeting a guy who might buy the business.

You can check.

He's got some charter boats at the docks. She protects us.

She must've said I was there out of instinct.

I don't need it, but she does it anyway, makes things worse.

How many boats do you have?

Just that one for the tours, but Danny's got a little sail boat.

Haven't seen it for a few days, he might've moored it somewhere else?

Oh.

Just a second, Tyrone.

We've also released Arthur's belongings, his...

..wallet, his wedding ring.

If you wanna let your mum know. Say again?

I'm at the Sutherland's.

There's no answer, but the door was open.

It's pretty creepy. Uh-huh.

OK, Tyrone, please don't make me come out with an armed unit again.

Ah, thought you enjoyed it.

Yeah.

Hold on.

There's some sort of shrine to the Sutherland's daughter.

Her husband Robert's been missing since the night of the murder. Mm.

They'd gone in to town and seen Arthur Hendry, came home,

Robert got drunk and he went out in a rage.

Could've gone to the boat yard.

What did they do to her? She's dehydrated. He was her carer.

Hi, I need an alert out for Robert Sutherland.

We're sending you an image and description now.

And could you also put me through to the lab?

That's it. Again, again.

Come on, you lot.

Can you do that?

Yeah, definitely. It's all that I do.

This is my dad's idea. He thinks I've got bad posture.

My dad doesn't even know what kind of posture I've got.

Or anything about me, actually. Come on, girls.

Gotta say, that was the best school play I've ever seen.

We've got his phone pinging off a mast nearby

on the night of the murder, then nothing.

So he kills Arthur, he takes Danny's boat and then escapes to sea.

Anything from the coastguard and the boat yet?

Coastguard is searching now.

You were right. Sutherland's DNA is at the crime scene.

So he was definitely there. Yeah.

But we haven't got it yet.

We've got motive, we've got a suspect who's done a runner,

and we've got DNA. What else do we need?

Three people were at the restaurant for Arthur Hendry's birthday,

and we thought Arthur was the missing one because, well,

he was being murdered.

But it was Trish who didn't show.

So what does that mean?

You don't escape by sea if you can't swim.

It's not Sutherland on that boat.

I think it's Arthur Hendry.

So if Arthur's alive, who the hell's in the morgue?

I got the lab to cross check the DNA with the body in the morgue, too.

And it's Sutherland? Mm-hm.

The Hendrys did a switch.

I'll get their location.

All Isla had to do was lie when she ID'd the body.

It's probably a spur of the moment thing but it's not a bad plan.

So which one of them put the harpoon in Sutherland?

I take a bet on it being the one

they've been protecting all these years.

Boss, the Hendry house is empty and their boat's missing from the yard.

OK.

How did you work out the switch?

If you fish for mackerel, you don't wear a wedding ring.

That's it? Yeah.

Sure you know where he is?

He set the coordinates, he'll be exhausted.

Go any faster? They're nearly on us?

Going as fast as I can.

Let's not do this on the boat.

We know what happened, Danny.

You killed Robert Sutherland.

He came down the yard, he's shouting about his daughter.

There was a fight.

He was yelling at me.

And I tried to get off the boat but he didn't let me off.

So I grabbed the spear gun, he tried to take it off me.

And it went off.

It was an accident.

If it was, then you'll get your chance to explain.

But I have explained.

The whales are close.

You can almost feel them coming up to the surface.

Just to breathe. That's all they're doing.

But it gets hard to breathe up here sometimes, doesn't it?

You know, son, it's OK, we'll go back.

You shouldn't have tried to help. OK, Danny, let's go.

Danny! Danny.

Danny!

Suspect overboard, alert the coastguard.

The coastguard's spotted the boat. Where?

Halfway to bloody Norway.

Sorry, not bloody.

I hit a fire alarm yesterday, my daughter was on stage,

she said something that would've made her life difficult,

and so I got the whole school evacuated.

Didn't even think twice about it.

That's how I tried to help.

I don't need to hear about your day.

Danny shot Robert Sutherland.

You put Arthur's stuff on him, dumped him in the water.

And you think that's the same as hitting a fire alarm?

Yeah. A bit.

No-one saw me, though.

Finlay saw you.

So you ran him over.

In his own car.

It just all... spiralled.

There was a moment when I was at school, I was 16,

and my mum and dad were going back to Norway.

I said I couldn't come.

I wanted to stay and be a detective.

I blurted it out, I think I even surprised myself.

Anyway, they went back on their own.

And, uh, I got free of the life they wanted for me.

Not everyone's so lucky.

I didn't check the restaurant properly. That's on me.

We all miss something. Me next probably.

Don't beat yourself up about it...

..that's your thing.

Maybe it is.

Your kids are how old now? 18 and 12.

Oh, wow. You had a routine?

Is that on her birthday or yours?

Got a new weather balloon.

Gonna launch it from the roof of headquarters.

Want to come, Mike? Yeah.

In the same box? Yes, please. Thanks.

Captain Ahab only slept with his wife once,

before he went back to the ocean.

That one time gave him a child, though, which he never saw.

It's not clear how Mrs Ahab dealt with being a single parent.

Perhaps she put the kid in drama club thinking it'd help her

and just made everything worse.
