Mermaid Vs. Shark

Sadie, who's that guy again?

He's hot as hell.

That's all you need to know.

He's meeting us right here.

Where did you even meet him?

I met him on the pier the other day.

You know, I was writing poetry,

he came over and he was so flirtatious.

Oh my God, it's him.

How do I look?

You look hot, girl.

Well, wish me luck.

Bye.

I can't believe this.

I can.

So nice to see you again.

So guess what?

What?

I brought you a boat.

Really?

Yeah.

Just me and you.

- Okay. - Around the ocean.

Sound good?

Yeah.

Maybe we should give 'em a bit of space.

It's their first date.

Yeah?

And what should we do?

I've got a few ideas.

Oh, I bet you do.

Mm.

Why don't we have a little walk, look at the view a bit?

Yeah.

Your boat is, I can't beautiful it is.

It's magical.

You smell so fresh.

Thank you.

Should we go for a swim?

I will if you do.

Obviously.

Get off of me.

She's doing it again, you know.

No, no, 'cause I'm gonna have to listen to it.

She gets her heart broken,

she moans to you and then you moan at me.

And I, I can't deal with it.

It's what she's like.

I can't believe that.

She'll learn one day, Sadie.

What is that?

What's what?

Can you not hear that?

No.

Hear what?

Derek?

What are you doing?

Derek?

Derek?

Derek?

Derek?

Where are you going?

Ow.

Derek?

Derek?

Sadie?

Sadie?

Derek?

Derek?

Amy?

Jesus, Derek.

Smells like something died in here.

Yeah.

I see you kept your key.

What?

I was hoping that since you left the hospital a month ago,

you'd be

It wasn't a hospital.

It was a nut house.

- Psychiatric- - Nut house.

And this is your life now?

Yeah, well I was never much for feng shui, was I?

You're still thinking about her.

They never found her.

Not a trace.

You don't just go missing like that.

The ocean's big, shit happens.

No, there was something out there.

I saw it.

What you, what you think you saw.

It wasn't my imagination.

Yeah, but you can't remember how it happened, can you?

No.

And maybe, maybe you never will.

Maybe you should just try and move on.

Don't suggest that.

You know how much I loved her.

I'm not saying forget about her.

Just don't go back there.

Move on.

Whatever happened, you blamed yourself.

You had me committed.

It was for your own good, Derek.

You were starting to scare me.

I, I think the trauma of May going missing

She didn't go missing.

Something happened to her.

Derek.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I won't go there.

I promise.

You all right there?

Yeah.

You all right?

I'm just parking up.

Camping?

No, I'm actually just staying down the road.

Your face looks oddly familiar.

Yeah, I get that a lot.

Well, don't like it too much.

We have strong currents around here

and people have been lost out to sea.

I know.

I've had a run in with the tide before.

Fair enough.

I'm gonna find you.

Whoa, bro.

Righteous ambush.

Yeah, yeah, I wasn't looking.

No, it's okay, fam.

You're just vibing.

I'm Blaze.

- Who? - Not my birth name.

Just spiritual one, you know?

- Oh cool. - Yeah.

You crashing here long?

There's not a lot of tourists this time of year,

unless you're hunting for ghosts or something.

I, I'm going surfing tomorrow.

Swells up about 12.

You should join me.

I don't surf.

Oh man.

You look like a guy that's seen the ocean.

Like really seen it, you know?

You're halfway there already.

Yeah, maybe some other time.

Far out.

Be careful if you're heading to the dunes at night,

by the way.

Why?

My buddy Rider,

he said he saw a mermaid there the other week.

Tried to bite his leg clean off.

But Rider drinks paint, so take what you will from that.

Yeah, surf's up.

Bro, this is crazy.

Got the whole place to ourselves.

Beach, booze, and no bloody parents.

This is like Ibiza, but with seagulls and gastroenteritis.

Still nothing from Liam.

Just forget him, okay?

If he's not here yet, then he's a knob.

Anyway, we can FaceTime him later,

and you can show him what he's missing.

Yeah, like me in a mankini.

Yeah, he'll be devastated.

What a view.

What a view.

- You're going to lose. - What the fuck?

. Tell your friend to text me back.

I don't know why she had to come.

She's my best friend.

Yeah, but with no Liam, she's gonna be like spare.

Little hard, aren't you?

What?

What?

- You could see your- - Stop it.

- You can, you can see- - Stop now.

Evening, campers.

Oh, Jesus.

Where'd you come from?

The earth.

My name's Dan, Ranger Dan,

keeper of the tides,

Shepherd of the dunes,

tamer of wild raccoons.

There are raccoons here?

No, no.

Just foxes.

Gonna stay for long?

Uh, just a few days.

We are exploring coastlines of the UK.

Well, just watch the sea.

Why?

Shark attacks?

No, not since 1987.

This is more serious.

The tides, they catch you unawares.
