Whitstable Pearl

I feel so rough.

You'll feel better as soon as we're out there.

Why do I feel normal at sea?

It's so weird.

Oh, you're not weird.

Supposed to feel sick at sea and normal at home,

not the other way round.

I was the same at your age.

Ha! Exactly the same.

You're two peas in a pod.

We're a couple of sea dogs.

Did you just call me a dog?

You don't get it.

You're a teenager. I'm not supposed to.

There you go, my love.

Sandwiches.

Up you go. There we are.

And a flask of tea. For when you feel better.

What about Dad?

You let me worry about him.

You'll call him?

He'll understand.

I'm worried, Mum.

It's been too long.

It'll pass.

Like you said, you were the same.

You grew out of it.

Chloe will, too.

It might look calm, but be careful.

90% of car accidents happen five minutes from home.

Good job we're on a boat then.

I'm saying, don't be complacent,

not with our precious cargo on board.

Put your phone away, love. Give your mum a hand.

You'll feel better soon.

I promise.

Hey, Rosie, what's going on?

Chloe texted me.

Chloe wasn't feeling well.

Again?

So, Lynsey took her out on the boat.

Rosie, it's my day.

We planned this. I made a schedule.

Chloe was sick, poor thing.

She wanted to be with her mum.

Lynsey knows what's best for her.

You're saying I don't.

How long they been gone?

Don't worry.

They'll be back soon.

I know what you're doing.

Every time it's my day, there's an excuse.

It's not gonna work, Rosie, I'm telling you now.

Bye, my love.

I'm calling Lynsey.

She's got no right. This is...my day.

Bowl of chips.

A large bowl of chips.

It's your holiday. Treat yourself.

Two slices of bread and a pot of curry sauce.

The Earl of Sandwich...

Is about to have his mind blown.

...will be spinning in his grave.

Hi, you've reached Chloe. Leave a message.

Chloe, it's Dad. Um, I hope you're feeling better.

How long are you planning on being out?

Um, I'll be right here waiting, okay?

Chloe, sweetheart, it's Dad again.

Listen, you, um... You don't have to run off

every time you're feeling ill, okay?

I can take care of you, you know.

I'm worrying. Just why aren't you answering?

Pick up. Call me back.

Lynsey, you are using our daughter to play games.

This is not okay.

None of this is okay.

Come back, now.

- Chloe? - Dad! Dad! The boat!

-It's -- it's taking on water. -Wait, wait. Wait a second.

-Slow down. Slow down. -I think we're sinking!

-I think we're sinking. -What d'you mean you're sinking?

Dad, please. Can you come? Please, Dad, now.

Chloe, wait, I'm calling the Coast Guard.

Put your mum back on.

They've gone.

Guess so, yeah.

Without paying.

Call yourself a detective.

Not this week.

They committed a crime right under your nose.

I'm on holiday.

- That's them! - Dad.

Chloe, you okay?

I love you.

- She's alright. - Thank you so much.

It's okay, you're safe. You're safe. You're safe.

Just wait till it's tied up.

- Nice and careful. - Dad.

Nice and careful.

Come on.

Let's go.

There you go. Watch -- Watch the ropes.

Let's go.

Come on. Let's get you warm.

Well done.

Well done.

I know. Come on.

Don't cry. You're okay.

Hey, oh, God. Get this in you.

-Thank you so much. -It's alright. Well done.

We'll get you home. You'll be alright.

- Well done. - Thanks.

Here you are, get warm. Drink this.

What the hell happened?

I don't know.

The boat's gone.

Gone? She sank? How?

She was taking on water.

I don't know why. I don't understand.

I checked her over last night.

Last night? You didn't check this morning?

- Are you insane? - Dad.

Alright, that's enough.

Just stay out of it, Henry. We've done our job.

What's it got to do with you?

-Jamie. -Really?

- Hey. Hey. - Dad!

-Hey, hey. Hey! -Enough!

- Dad. - Jamie.

Fellas. Fellas. Fellas. Fellas!

Dad.

- Leave him alone! - Hey!

Stop!

Calm down!

That was odd, the way they all turned on each other,

and Jamie -- he was trying a bit too hard.

- Do you know them? - Yeah.

They run the sailing club next door.

And you showed great restraint, very professional.

Pearl, I'm on holiday.

Oh, sorry. It's a rubbish start.

What are your plans for the week then?

An old mate of mine invited me paintballing.

Told him I had a clash.

And another mate invited me to Gran Canaria.

You've got mates?

Just to be clear, you're not gonna do either

of those things then, yeah?

Having a staycation.

Apparently, there's a thing.

Oh, right.

Well, uh...

what about New Year's Eve?

Apparently, that's a thing.

Noise-canceling headphones,

pint of Guinness, and a bowl of soup.

Well, we have a party here after the restaurant closes.

- Oh? - Yeah.

We have three rules -- no kissing, no singing,

no resolutions, just hard drinking.

Is that misanthropic enough for you?

Oh, come on.

You had a good time at Christmas, remember?

Mm.

Alright, no pressure.

I've got customers to get back to.

Important orders.

Lobster Thermidor, crab ravioli,

seafood risotto, and...

a chip and curry sauce butty.

-You're an artist. -And you're a savage.

So, Dolly's gonna be with us New Year's Eve?

Yeah.

Just 'cause Ruby's parents are coming 'round and --

you know, just for a drink or two.

Oh, cool. Is Ruby coming, too?

Obviously, yeah.

-Well, you remember the rules. -Oh, come on.

Well, they're your rules, Romeo.

I was 12-years-old, and you were going out

with Crap Car Steve, alright?

Way too much PDA.

Way too much MDMA.

Oh, God! Shut up!

Seriously though, you will tell her?

-What? -You know, just to be a bit...

-Bit less? -You know, a bit less Dolly.

Thank you for a lovely night.

- Call me. - Oh, I will.

Good morning.

Good morning!

Sleep well?

Not a wink.

Ahh. Mother Teresa wants a word.

The Coast Guard found the boat.

The pipe connecting the bilge pump had been severed.

Without it, you're powerless to stop the boat sinking.

It's not one of the boats she rents out.
