The Good Ship Murder (2023) s01e04 Episode Script
Palma
1
So, this is where
you'll be standing.
Jack, if you could just move
out the way, please. Thank you.
And then we'll begin
with the vows.
Where's the bride?
The one good thing about
getting married on a ship, old boy,
you're never more than 1,000 feet
from your bride.
She'll be here.
She was at the spa.
Er Ella!
Any ideas where she's got to?
Let me check the schedule. Yes.
Her highlights, lowlights, manicure,
pedicure, massage and waxing
were due to be finished by now.
She needed a lot of waxing.
I don't believe it.
Worm? Oh, it's you!
Ah!
Oh! Hi.
Worm?
Oh, my schoolmates thought
it was hilarious. Bookworm.
KATE CHUCKLES
You and Cecile
went to school together?
She was never out of the library.
And look at you now.
I love the outfit. Erm
What are you doing here?
I'm first officer.
Second-in-charge of the ship.
Oh.
BEV CLEARS THROA
Places, please.
Promise me you'll come
to the hen do tomorrow,
we can have a proper catch-up.
Oh, no, I can't, I'm working.
It's
Didn't you say you were off
for two days, Worm?
Let's check with Captain Jameson.
Where is he? No, no, no.
Er, yes, I remember, you're right.
Thank you for reminding me.
Looks like I can make it.
Perfect.
Yay!
THEY CHUCKLE
SOFTLY: I am so gonna get you back
for that. Mm-hm.
# Going on an adventure
# And I've got a feeling
The sun's gonna shine
# Shine, the sun's gonna shine
# I'm in love with the ocean
# And I got a feeling
I'm singing tonight
# Tonight, sing tonight
# It's because of you
# That I'll always remember
# Going on an adventure
With you on my mind
# Going on an adventure
With you on my mind. #
Ice sculptures shaped like swans,
remember?
£650 each.
Mm-hm.
And the centrepiece flowers?
Oh, they have to be
lily of the valley.
It matches my perfume.
Gorgeous (!)
Jack, is the full band accompanying
you for the first dance?
Er, as long as
it doesn't cost extra.
This wedding is a fortune.
More importantly,
what's the craic with the stag?
Can't have the ladies here
having all the fun.
What you thinking?
How's about you show us
the sights tomorrow?
And by the sights, I mean the bars.
CHARLIE CHUCKLES
Leave me to it.
Sorry, darling, calls to make.
Evan can stand in for me. Bye.
If Evan can stand.
How's about me and you
take a dander round the ship,
and you can show me your starboard?
I would rather jump ship
and swim with the sharks.
Excuse me.
ON TANNOY: 'This is Beverley,
your cruise director.
'I'd like to inform all passengers
'that the ship has now arrived
in Palma,
'the gateway
to the beautiful island of Mallorca.
'For those wishing to disembark,
please make your way to deck five.'
Hasta luego, and enjoy your day.
Near gales forecast
for the Balearics.
We'll need to rework the voyage plan
to avoid the worst of it.
Already done it.
Should we have dinner later?
I can't.
I have to go to this hen do.
Woodsy?
A moment of your time?
Yes, Captain.
Kate.
I hope you haven't let
yourself get too distracted
with all this amateur sleuthing.
I wouldn't dream of it, Captain.
Good to hear.
Especially with the staff
captain's post on the horizon.
Eyes on the prize, sir.
Because you're not
the only candidate on board.
Really? Um
Who Who else has applied for it?
First officer de Vreese.
Nothing wrong
with some healthy competition, hm?
But what about Villas Escenicas?
KNOCK AT DOOR
MAN ON PHONE:
'Trust me, it will all be fine.
DOOR OPENS
'We just need more money to make'
There is no more money,
I've told you that.
Just leave it, thanks.
You need to stick to our agreement,
end of story.
WOMEN CHEER
Ready, girls?
Cheers, everyone. Three, two, one.
THEY CHEER
Do you hate hen dos as much as me?
Mm.
If I never go to one again,
it'll be too soon.
Not to mention baby-sitting
the boss's princess of a fiancee.
Hey. You need some boppers.
Ella, you forgot Worm.
Oh, I mean, Kate.
No, no, honestly, it's fine. I'm
Oh, OK, great. There we are.
KATE CHUCKLES
That's lovely.
Perfect.
So, have you got yourself
a nice man, then?
Yes. We work together
on the bridge, actually.
The tall Belgian guy, Piers.
Oh, trust you to snare such a catch.
You know,
I never told you this before,
but I used to really
look up to you at school.
No.
Yeah, it's true.
You were always so career-driven,
never needed a boyfriend,
not like me.
I always had to have one on my arm.
Saved the best till last, though.
Where did you and Charlie meet?
In Dubai. He was on holiday there.
I tripped over his feet
on the way to the dance floor,
and we have never been apart
since then.
And Ella's been like a sister
since she started
working for Charlie.
We need to get to the restaurant.
Come on, ladies.
Finish your Orgasms, let's go.
THEY CHEER
This man here is gonna
make me a fortune.
Property. Luxury villas,
use them six weeks of the year,
the rest of the time, rent them out.
You should get involved,
tell him about the profit.
Based on a 60% occupation rate,
you'll still make a substantial
profit on a deposit of just 20k.
Oh, let's not talk shop, boys,
it's meant to be a stag do.
Fair play. Here, slainte, lads!
ALL: Slainte!
When was the last time
we partied like this?
Here, was it Dubai?
Yep.
Winter sun.
Lads holiday.
Well, it was meant to be,
then your man met Cecile,
did not see him for dust.
THEY LAUGH
And here we are five months later.
Aye, Cecile got her claws
in quickly, there.
THEY LAUGH
I've barely seen you since.
Right, another round.
THEY CHEER
WOMEN CHEER
THEY HUM 'WEDDING MARCH'
WOMEN CHEER
THEY SCREAM,
ELLA COUGHS
Stop that van!
SIREN WAILS
Jack, I almost caught up
with the van. It just
It got away from me.
Of course. Any sign of trouble,
and DI Grayling is right there.
Well, the pleasure is always mine.
You two know each other?
Yeah, Luciana and me
go a long way back.
The police driving course in London.
Should've seen her
in the blues and twos,
like she was racing
in the Grand Prix. OK.
As lovely as this reunion is
Heard you left the job?
News travels fast.
Yeah, I am a singer these days,
on the cruises.
That's what brings you to Palma?
We could talk
about the kidnapping.
Black Ford transit van,
licence plate, K 4914 VQR.
Two kidnappers, both male,
one around my height,
the other one, I'm guessing,
is a little bit taller.
Gracias.
Plenty of CCTV to follow up.
Just in case this senorita
is mistaken.
Any other witnesses, Jack?
Yes, Ella Jones,
and she's just over there.
Miss Jones Wait, she's just been
maced directly in the face.
Shall we make sure she's OK first?
Shouldn't I be the judge of that?
Maybe it's best if we take Ella
back to the ship,
we can get Dr Tan
to check her out, yeah?
Miguel. Por favor.
IN SPANISH:
Please, we will take care of you.
My colleague will get her statement
when she's had medical attention.
Jack. Are you coming?
Actually, do you have a moment?
SHE SIGHS
All right, Ella, come with me.
So, the bride goes missing.
First person I need to speak to
is the groom.
Why would anyone take Cecile?
I mean, it's crazy.
What if they've hurt her?
What if she's?
Look, calm down. Calm down. Right?
Three sugars. It's good for shock.
So's a whiskey.
Let's start at the beginning.
Do you have any family or friends
in Palma? No.
What about your property business?
You must have contacts there.
You have a business? Here in Palma?
I just dipped my toe
into the property world,
building a couple of villas,
nothing big.
And you have someone
selling these for you?
Ad hoc estate agents,
different one every week.
It's all going well,
no issues so far.
And no disagreements with customers?
None at all.
Does Cecile have any ties
to your business?
When we met, she was a beautician.
She's not remotely interested
in my business.
And your relationship? No problems?
She's the love of my life.
I need to let the guests know
what's happened.
Is it OK if I go now?
Let me know if you hear anything.
Mr O'Donnell, not so fast.
If I could just ask you
a few questions?
I think I'm still in shock.
One minute
we're walking down the street,
and the next I get pepper spray
in my eyes.
Charlie must be so worried.
He seems like a really nice guy.
Have you worked for him for long?
Um Four months or so.
He's a great boss. I only deal
with the UK side of the business.
Suits me, less to do.
You get on with Cecile?
Yeah.
Though she can be demanding.
Charlie can never do enough for her.
Hm. Well, she seemed like she didn't
have a care in the world today.
She did say one thing, though.
It's probably nothing.
Right?
She said she hoped Charlie would be
less angry once they got married.
Something about wanting
the old Charlie back.
I've told you,
I barely know Cecile.
Charlie is certainly kept
on a tight leash.
Well, it sounds like
you're not much of a fan of hers.
He's always working.
Mind you, he needs to,
the credit card bills she piles up.
She racks up debt?
Cecile likes
the finer things in life,
and Charlie is determined
to keep her in the manner in which
she certainly has become
accustomed to.
At all costs.
Do you know how much
even one of her handbags cost?
No wonder the poor fella's
stressed all the time.
OK, thank you. We're done here.
Anything else, you know where I am.
The pleasure's all mine.
The plate number Kate gave us.
Did it check out?
Turns out the licence plate is fake.
No surprises there.
There's CCTV showing the van
exiting the freeway,
but so far, no shots
of where it has ended up.
Whoever's taken Cecile's got to be
in touch soon, wanting money.
You know as well as I do that
the first 48 hours are crucial.
If they don't make contact
by then
Then the chances
of getting her back are slim.
HE SIGHS
Why would anyone
want to kidnap Cecile?
Because Charlie
doesn't come across as rich.
And the best man who clearly
can't stand the bride.
Yeah, but he and the groom
were with us the whole morning.
So, could Cecile have enemies?
Well, she is a beautician,
it's hardly a dangerous field.
And she's never been to Palma.
It's gotta be someone who's local,
who can get their hands on a van,
somewhere to hide her.
Well, look, kidnappings
are always about cash, right?
Hm-mm. And Charlie was about to
throw the wedding of all weddings.
Beverly mentioned that
he hadn't paid for it yet.
Even though she sent the bill twice.
Plus, Evan said Cecile
is spending money like water.
Yes, I did hear him having
an argument on the phone yesterday.
Something about Villas Escenicas
and some guy wanting more money,
but Charlie refused.
He mentioned Villas at the stag do.
Evan seemed to think they were
a sure-fire way to make money.
Hm.
They've even got their own website.
"Luxury villas in Palma."
I mean, he told Perez
that business was booming.
Not according
to the disgruntled customers,
if these comments
are anything to go by.
Listen to this from the Cullens.
"We want our deposits returned
"for a holiday villa
we bought in good faith
"that has never materialised."
Sounds like a bit of a scam to me.
Hm.
Fancy a trip?
Welcome, welcome,
Mr and Mrs Duvall, si? Ah-ha.
Nelson Raposo.
We spoke on the phone.
LIVERPOOL ACCENT:
It's Kev, and this is, er
Pam, the old ball and chain.
LIVERPOOL ACCENT:
You all right, mate?
No need for formalities!
Let me introduce you
to Villa Escenicas.
They are the highest quality.
Can we not see one that's finished?
They will be ready before you know
it. My team are muy rapido.
The best.
AEROPLANE FLIES OVERHEAD
A beautiful location, too.
Very handy for the airport.
Have you two, er, any bambinos?
Yeah, three.
Yeah, two.
We've one on the way.
THEY CHUCKLE
They are gonna love the pool.
Ah.
Builders, eh? What can you do?
So the developers
who bought the land first,
you're working closely with them?
Si, si. We have
the planning permission agreed.
Nothing can spoil the view.
Ah, that's lovely.
I can smell the garden already.
I love it, Kev.
Ah.
PHONE RINGS
Oh, excuse me, senora.
Yes, I can't talk. I
OK. You need to relax.
There are no problems.
I will meet you.
I'll be there.
And how do I know
it'll be finished on time?
Or at all?
It's still at phase one.
It will be ready in two months.
Or you get a price reduction. Oh!
All in the contract.
Does the master bedroom
have an ensuite?
Si, si, it will have.
Oh. I mean, it's just
There's so much space,
isn't there? So much space.
It's massive.
You call me later, yes?
Hm-mm.
Let me know.
Can I say,
you two look a happy couple.
Aw.
Everyone says that, lad, don't they?
They do.
Yeah!
That Nelson's as dodgy as they come.
There were plenty of builders.
It didn't look like they were
doing much work, though.
PHONE BLEEPS
So much for the planning permission.
Perez says the water authority
denied permission
for any villas to be built
full stop.
So they're selling
half-done villas
that they know
will never be finished?
I mean, it's no wonder
Nelson looked on edge
when you mentioned developers.
Look, why don't you
head back to the ship?
Keep your eyes peeled. I'll ask
Jamil to meet me at Bar Vos.
Let's see who turns up
to meet Nelson.
Jamieson said what a good job I did
bringing the ship alongside
this morning.
Oh, lucky you.
Next time maybe
we could say toss a coin for it.
Playing fair for a change, are we?
You've been off with me.
Want to tell me
what this is all about?
The staff captain's job.
I know that you applied for it.
The captain asked
if I wanted to apply for it.
I was going to discuss it with you,
but
But you didn't.
I've barely seen you
away from the bridge.
You've been spending all your time
with Jack Grayling.
Or maybe you wanted to be
first in line for the job.
HE SCOFFS
I would never go behind your back!
I'm honest
as the very long summer day.
If you don't mind,
some of us have got work to do.
Jack.
What took you?
I had cabins to clean!
Right, the guy in the navy shirt
with the stubble.
Navy shirt, stubble.
Right.
Let me know who he's with
and what they're talking about.
They won't even know I'm there.
OK, OK, OK.
WHISPERING
Hey. He's in there
with Charlie's best man. Evan.
Did you hear what they were saying?
I couldn't get close enough,
but Evan seemed very angry.
He never mentioned that he knew any
of Charlie's business colleagues.
PHONE RINGS
Charlie? Hi.
What?
Calm down, mate.
Look, I'll be there, yeah?
I've gotta go.
Let me know what happens.
OK.
'Charlie, please,
'please, please,
'give them the money.
'I just wanna come back to you.
'Don't let me die.'
How am I supposed to get
that kind of money together?
Well, with all the villas
you've sold,
it must add up to a fair bit.
I've got building costs
coming out of my ears.
So why have none of them been built?
They are mid-build.
They should be finished in
Two months, phase one.
Yeah, we heard that
from Nelson Raposo,
the friendly estate agent.
But that isn't true, is it?
Because the water authority denied
their planning agreement
two months ago.
So you've been selling the villas
knowing they'll never be built
and keeping the deposits.
I had no idea
that this was going to happen.
Why should we believe
a word you say?
I swear on Cecile's life.
I went into business
with a property company out here,
and it all looked great on paper.
I quoted the UK customers,
collected the deposits,
THEY did the viewings.
The guy, yeah, Nelson,
he was the project manager here,
and he tells me that the water
company changed their minds,
but all these people own
is a dry patch of wasteland.
But he swore we'd get planning.
We even did to begin with,
and then
CHARLIE SCOFFS,
SIGHS
I need the cash back to refund
all the people who are suing me.
And Cecile knew all about this?
Told her at the start of the cruise,
said that if Nelson didn't cough up,
I'd likely lose
everything I've worked for.
She was so supportive, and
..then she's kidnapped.
You need to tell the police.
The video said no police.
No, Perez'll be able to h
Do me for fraud?
It'll be my word against Nelson's.
They'll think
that we were in on it together.
Maybe we shouldn't tell Perez
..for Cecile's sake.
JACK SIGHS
I need to make a withdrawal.
Yeah.
Jack.
How's it going, fella?
Huh, bit of a crawl, is it?
Thought I saw you earlier
at Bar Vos.
Nelson Raposo, you know him?
Never heard of him.
Ah, that's a bit
of a coincidence, then,
turning up at the same bar
at the same time
with the exact bloke
that sells Charlie's villas.
Heard the pair of you
got into a bit of a fight.
Listen, why don't you just stick
to your show tunes
and keep your nose out of it,
all right, mate?
Evan. Where the hell have you been?
CHARLIE SCOFFS
Cecile was right.
You are a waste of space.
All because she chose me that night
and not you.
Charlie, mate,
don't start this again, OK?
That's why you don't even care
that she's missing
cos you're jealous!
Hey
You always have been!
Charlie! Charlie.
Come on.
THEY WHISPER,
CHUCKLE
This is the guy you met
at the villas?
Two sugars, right?
HE CHUCKLES
Yes, that's the guy that we met.
Turns out he has several aliases.
Nelson Raposo is just one of them.
Spent four years in prison
for fraud.
We've got an APB out on him,
but his phone is disconnected,
and he's not at his home,
in any event.
Charlie claims
he knows nothing about this.
It happens all the time here.
Developers believe
they're funding villas
in partnership with local companies,
getting insider knowledge,
but really, they know all along
that planning won't go through.
One giant con,
leaving guys like Charlie
dealing with the consequences.
Any good news?
Well, they found the van,
burnt out in the north of the city,
but we managed to get prints,
gave us the name Juan Martin.
He's a non-petty criminal for hire,
record as long as your arm.
They've just picked him up
for questioning.
Heard anything from Charlie?
No, sorry. Nothing.
Well, we just have to say a prayer
that Juan will know where Nelson is.
Still no Charlie?
He's cutting it a bit fine.
Jack?
Oh, I'm starving.
HE SIGHS
I should have bought me
HE CHUCKLES
You legend!
My dad used to say,
"Always carry a spare snack.
"That way, if you get stuck out
on the boat longer than anticipated,
"you've got the energy to get back."
Oh.
I think the only advice
my old man ever gave to me
was to become a cop.
Probably because he was one.
I thought you loved
being in the force.
Grew to.
But ever since I was knee-high,
all I ever wanted to do was sing.
Thought I was Elvis, you know,
dancing around, hairbrush in hand.
IMITATING ELVIS: Oh-ho.
THEY CHUCKLE
But in my house, it was always,
"You need to earn
a proper living, son."
Mm.
I think my dad wished I was a boy.
Spent most of my life trying
to prove I was as good as one.
He used to take me out sailing
on the tiniest boat.
HE CHUCKLES
But I made sure
that there wasn't a wind
that I couldn't navigate
or a knot that I couldn't tie.
That's when I felt closest to him.
Just the two of us.
Sound of the ocean.
Sounds like a man
after my own heart.
He died before I became an officer.
Bet he was proud of you anyway.
It's Charlie.
Hm?
Who's that?
JACK GRUNTS,
FIGURE GROANS
Why the hell are you here?
To get the ransom money.
We saw him with Nelson
or whatever his name is.
They planned the whole kidnap
to get it.
And that's how Nelson knew
exactly where to pick up Cecile
from the hen do
because you told him.
Ella said you always follow Cecile
and Charlie round.
And you couldn't bear
that she chose Charlie over you
and you made Charlie pay.
Kate, call the police.
What are youse on?
I met Nelson to get my money back
because I didn't wanna lose
the 20k I invested,
and I gave him a right going over.
But you ended up in the middle
of a ransom handover by accident?
I'm here because he asked me to be.
I'm sorry, mate.
I didn't wanna let you down again.
But I didn't write that.
Then who did?
The money.
SHE GASPS
It's gone.
IN SPANISH:
You think you can be the eyes
and ears needed for a handover?
It could have led us
to where Cecile is.
If we don't get her back
in one piece, this is on your head.
Look, the ransom video
Should have been given to me
the minute you got it.
It's my fault, OK?
Charlie didn't want
to involve the police,
and I asked Jack not to contact you,
so if you are looking for someone
to blame, blame me.
Look, I'll send over the video
right now. Hm?
We'll try and pull CCTV,
but it looks like Nelson's
got away with the money
right under your nose.
They'll release Cecile, won't they?
Now they've got the money.
Well, we hope so,
unless we find her first.
One of the drivers
has given us the exact place
he dropped Cecile and Nelson off.
We've got teams out now
combing the area.
You best get back to the ships
and your yacht.
If you hear anything
Look, I'll call you. Scout's honour.
EVAN: They won't keep Cecile
now you've paid them.
I should've known
that the whole deal
was too good to be true.
Wish I hadn't been so bloody greedy
when Ella suggested
properties abroad.
What, Ella?
She told us she was just across
your UK business.
What? She's across everything.
Been worth her weight in gold since
she started with me four months ago.
Cecile knew instantly,
said she gave the best interview.
So she'll have been in touch
with Nelson?
So much for not knowing him either.
We need to get back to the ship
and find her. Mm.
What are you doing, my friend?
Ella wrote the note.
She got Evan to show up
as a distraction
while she grabbed the cash.
I can't believe
I didn't see this coming.
She could be anywhere by now.
'I just wanna come back to you.
'Don't let me die.'
Hey.
CCTV shows that Ella left the ship
at exactly 11:31,
just enough time to get the cash.
You've watched that,
like, a million times.
Got more flowers
than I can shake a stick at.
The bloody ice swans are melting
and still no signs
of the bill being paid.
I never could stand
Lily of the Valley.
How Cecile wore that for a perfume
every day I'll never know.
Jack.
That scent that I could smell
at the villas,
that wasn't the gardens -
that was Cecile.
Listen to this.
BACKGROUND WHIRRING
ON TAPE
Planes.
I thought we were going to be
together after all this was over?
This was a business
arrangement only.
Plans change.
You can't leave.
Watch me.
Cecile?
Cecile, wait!
Cecile?
Charlie.
I got away.
JACK: Don't believe a word she says.
She's leaving with your money.
But
Ella, what's with you?
I don't understand.
Look, they planned this thing
together back in Dubai.
Saw you as their next target.
They hadn't even met then.
No, they had.
At the hen party, I saw Ella's phone
with a picture of them together
years before you knew
either of them.
And that's why Cecile insisted on
interviewing assistants with you.
Ella was her choice, right?
She set you up, Charlie.
Cecile didn't bump into you
by accident.
It was all carefully planned.
But they hadn't banked on Nelson
fleecing you first.
When they found out on the cruise
you were going to lose everything
on this Palma property deal,
Ella, knowing Nelson
had bribed the water company,
blackmailed him into a kidnap plot.
Ella told him exactly
where the hen do was,
and Cecile invited Kate,
so she had the perfect witness.
We need to get to the restaurant.
CHEERING
THEY SING
'HERE COMES THE BRIDE'
SCREAMING
Cecile was carefully hidden
at the villa,
making sure she wasn't around
when we visited.
Ella then planted suspicion on Evan,
making out like
he was obsessed with Cecile,
using him as a distraction
at the ransom drop-off
so she could
make off with all the cash.
SIRENS APPROACHING
Cecile waiting for Ella
to divvy up all the cash
..and then disappear for good.
Was any of it real?
Did you ever have
any feelings for me at all?
I'm sorry.
Come on, Charlie.
Let's get a drink, mate.
LUCIANA: Nobody is going anywhere.
Cecile Ray, I'm placing you
under arrest for suspicion of fraud.
Jack Grayling. Should have known.
Always gets the guy in the end.
Old habits die hard, I guess.
Well, maybe I would too.
How about a drink?
To celebrate.
I'm I'm sorry.
Oh, no, no, no, no, no.
Don't be. I just
..can't. I mean,
much as I'd like to.
I get it.
Your heart belongs elsewhere.
HE SCOFFS
It's written all over your face.
I gotta get back to the station.
You take care, carino. Si?
You too, Luciana.
You too.
Hey. I need a favour.
I've a passenger who wants
serenading on deck this evening,
special occasion.
I've got show to do, Piers.
They insisted on you.
Said only the best would do.
Anything to keep
my passengers happy.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
Welcome to our first
global poker tournament.
It's is a $1 million game.
Tell us about these high rollers.
Nikolai Volkov. Beelzebub.
Lee "Dead-Eye" Stannard.
Wendy "The Widow" Weston.
Do you think one of the players
could have done this?
You know what they say.
What happens at sea stays at sea.
Feeling lucky?
I'm always lucky, baby.
This tournament is terminated.
He lost everything
on a hand of cards.
Enough.
The game gets to some
people like that.
I see you all in hell!
# You thought you'd run away now
From the troubles in your life
# And launch a new horizon
In the sky
# Now the truth's caught up with you
Forever
# It's waiting for you #
So, this is where
you'll be standing.
Jack, if you could just move
out the way, please. Thank you.
And then we'll begin
with the vows.
Where's the bride?
The one good thing about
getting married on a ship, old boy,
you're never more than 1,000 feet
from your bride.
She'll be here.
She was at the spa.
Er Ella!
Any ideas where she's got to?
Let me check the schedule. Yes.
Her highlights, lowlights, manicure,
pedicure, massage and waxing
were due to be finished by now.
She needed a lot of waxing.
I don't believe it.
Worm? Oh, it's you!
Ah!
Oh! Hi.
Worm?
Oh, my schoolmates thought
it was hilarious. Bookworm.
KATE CHUCKLES
You and Cecile
went to school together?
She was never out of the library.
And look at you now.
I love the outfit. Erm
What are you doing here?
I'm first officer.
Second-in-charge of the ship.
Oh.
BEV CLEARS THROA
Places, please.
Promise me you'll come
to the hen do tomorrow,
we can have a proper catch-up.
Oh, no, I can't, I'm working.
It's
Didn't you say you were off
for two days, Worm?
Let's check with Captain Jameson.
Where is he? No, no, no.
Er, yes, I remember, you're right.
Thank you for reminding me.
Looks like I can make it.
Perfect.
Yay!
THEY CHUCKLE
SOFTLY: I am so gonna get you back
for that. Mm-hm.

# And I've got a feeling
The sun's gonna shine

And the centrepiece flowers?
Oh, they have to be
lily of the valley.
It matches my perfume.
Gorgeous (!)
Jack, is the full band accompanying
you for the first dance?
Er, as long as
it doesn't cost extra.
This wedding is a fortune.
More importantly,
what's the craic with the stag?
Can't have the ladies here
having all the fun.
What you thinking?
How's about you show us
the sights tomorrow?
And by the sights, I mean the bars.
CHARLIE CHUCKLES
Leave me to it.
Sorry, darling, calls to make.
Evan can stand in for me. Bye.
If Evan can stand.
How's about me and you
take a dander round the ship,
and you can show me your starboard?
I would rather jump ship
and swim with the sharks.
Excuse me.
ON TANNOY: 'This is Beverley,
your cruise director.
'I'd like to inform all passengers
'that the ship has now arrived
in Palma,
'the gateway
to the beautiful island of Mallorca.
'For those wishing to disembark,
please make your way to deck five.'
Hasta luego, and enjoy your day.
Near gales forecast
for the Balearics.
We'll need to rework the voyage plan
to avoid the worst of it.
Already done it.
Should we have dinner later?
I can't.
I have to go to this hen do.
Woodsy?
A moment of your time?
Yes, Captain.
Kate.
I hope you haven't let
yourself get too distracted
with all this amateur sleuthing.
I wouldn't dream of it, Captain.
Good to hear.
Especially with the staff
captain's post on the horizon.
Eyes on the prize, sir.
Because you're not
the only candidate on board.
Really? Um
Who Who else has applied for it?
First officer de Vreese.
Nothing wrong

Ella, you forgot Worm.
Oh, I mean, Kate.
No, no, honestly, it's fine. I'm
Oh, OK, great. There we are.
KATE CHUCKLES
That's lovely.
Perfect.
So, have you got yourself
a nice man, then?
Yes. We work together
on the bridge, actually.
The tall Belgian guy, Piers.
Oh, trust you to snare such a catch.
You know,
I never told you this before,
but I used to really
look up to you at school.
No.
Yeah, it's true.
You were always so career-driven,
never needed a boyfriend,
not like me.
I always had to have one on my arm.
Saved the best till last, though.
Where did you and Charlie meet?
In Dubai. He was on holiday there.
I tripped over his feet
on the way to the dance floor,
and we have never been apart
since then.
And Ella's been like a sister
since she started
working for Charlie.
We need to get to the restaurant.
Come on, ladies.
Finish your Orgasms, let's go.
THEY CHEER
This man here is gonna
make me a fortune.
Property. Luxury villas,
use them six weeks of the year,
the rest of the time, rent them out.
You should get involved,
tell him about the profit.
Based on a 60% occupation rate,
you'll still make a substantial
profit on a deposit of just 20k.
Oh, let's not talk shop, boys,
it's meant to be a stag do.
Fair play. Here, slainte, lads!
ALL: Slainte!
When was the last time
we partied like this?
Here, was it Dubai?
Yep.
Winter sun.
Lads holiday.
Well, it was meant to be,
then your man met Cecile,
did not see him for dust.
THEY LAUGH
And here we are five months later.
Aye, Cecile got her claws
in quickly, there.
THEY LAUGH
I've barely seen you since.
Right, another round.

Of course. Any sign of trouble,
and DI Grayling is right there.
Well, the pleasure is always mine.
You two know each other?
Yeah, Luciana and me
go a long way back.
The police driving course in London.
Should've seen her
in the blues and twos,
like she was racing
in the Grand Prix. OK.
As lovely as this reunion is
Heard you left the job?
News travels fast.
Yeah, I am a singer these days,
on the cruises.
That's what brings you to Palma?
We could talk
about the kidnapping.
Black Ford transit van,
licence plate, K 4914 VQR.
Two kidnappers, both male,
one around my height,
the other one, I'm guessing,
is a little bit taller.
Gracias.
Plenty of CCTV to follow up.
Just in case this senorita
is mistaken.
Any other witnesses, Jack?
Yes, Ella Jones,
and she's just over there.
Miss Jones Wait, she's just been
maced directly in the face.
Shall we make sure she's OK first?
Shouldn't I be the judge of that?
Maybe it's best if we take Ella
back to the ship,
we can get Dr Tan
to check her out, yeah?
Miguel. Por favor.
IN SPANISH:
Please, we will take care of you.
My colleague will get her statement
when she's had medical attention.
Jack. Are you coming?
Actually, do you have a moment?
SHE SIGHS
All right, Ella, come with me.
So, the bride goes missing.
First person I need to speak to
is the groom.
Why would anyone take Cecile?
I mean, it's crazy.
What if they've hurt her?
What if she's?
Look, calm down. Calm down. Right?
Three sugars. It's good for shock.
So's a whiskey.
Let's start at the beginning.
Do you have any family or friends
in Palma? No.
What about your property business?
You must have contacts there.
You have a business? Here in Palma?
I just dipped my toe
into the property world,
building a couple of villas,
nothing big.
And you have someone
selling these for you?
Ad hoc estate agents,
different one every week.
It's all going well,
no issues so far.
And no disagreements with customers?
None at all.
Does Cecile have any ties
to your business?
When we met, she was a beautician.
She's not remotely interested
in my business.
And your relationship? No problems?
She's the love of my life.
I need to let the guests know
what's happened.
Is it OK if I go now?
Let me know if you hear anything.
Mr O'Donnell, not so fast.
If I could just ask you
a few questions?
I think I'm still in shock.
One minute
we're walking down the street,
and the next I get pepper spray
in my eyes.
Charlie must be so worried.
He seems like a really nice guy.
Have you worked for him for long?
Um Four months or so.
He's a great boss. I only deal
with the UK side of the business.
Suits me, less to do.
You get on with Cecile?
Yeah.
Though she can be demanding.
Charlie can never do enough for her.
Hm. Well, she seemed like she didn't
have a care in the world today.
She did say one thing, though.
It's probably nothing.
Right?
She said she hoped Charlie would be
less angry once they got married.
Something about wanting
the old Charlie back.
I've told you,
I barely know Cecile.
Charlie is certainly kept
on a tight leash.
Well, it sounds like
you're not much of a fan of hers.
He's always working.
Mind you, he needs to,
the credit card bills she piles up.
She racks up debt?
Cecile likes
the finer things in life,
and Charlie is determined
to keep her in the manner in which
she certainly has become
accustomed to.
At all costs.
Do you know how much
even one of her handbags cost?
No wonder the poor fella's
stressed all the time.
OK, thank you. We're done here.
Anything else, you know where I am.
The pleasure's all mine.
The plate number Kate gave us.
Did it check out?
Turns out the licence plate is fake.
No surprises there.
There's CCTV showing the van
exiting the freeway,
but so far, no shots
of where it has ended up.
Whoever's taken Cecile's got to be
in touch soon, wanting money.
You know as well as I do that
the first 48 hours are crucial.
If they don't make contact
by then
Then the chances
of getting her back are slim.
HE SIGHS
Why would anyone
want to kidnap Cecile?
Because Charlie
doesn't come across as rich.
And the best man who clearly
can't stand the bride.
Yeah, but he and the groom
were with us the whole morning.
So, could Cecile have enemies?
Well, she is a beautician,
it's hardly a dangerous field.
And she's never been to Palma.
It's gotta be someone who's local,
who can get their hands on a van,
somewhere to hide her.
Well, look, kidnappings
are always about cash, right?
Hm-mm. And Charlie was about to
throw the wedding of all weddings.
Beverly mentioned that
he hadn't paid for it yet.
Even though she sent the bill twice.
Plus, Evan said Cecile
is spending money like water.
Yes, I did hear him having
an argument on the phone yesterday.
Something about Villas Escenicas
and some guy wanting more money,
but Charlie refused.
He mentioned Villas at the stag do.
Evan seemed to think they were
a sure-fire way to make money.
Hm.
They've even got their own website.
"Luxury villas in Palma."
I mean, he told Perez
that business was booming.
Not according
to the disgruntled customers,
if these comments
are anything to go by.
Listen to this from the Cullens.
"We want our deposits returned
"for a holiday villa
we bought in good faith
"that has never materialised."
Sounds like a bit of a scam to me.
Hm.
Fancy a trip?
Welcome, welcome,
Mr and Mrs Duvall, si? Ah-ha.
Nelson Raposo.
We spoke on the phone.
LIVERPOOL ACCENT:
It's Kev, and this is, er
Pam, the old ball and chain.
LIVERPOOL ACCENT:
You all right, mate?
No need for formalities!
Let me introduce you
to Villa Escenicas.
They are the highest quality.
Can we not see one that's finished?
They will be ready before you know
it. My team are muy rapido.
The best.
AEROPLANE FLIES OVERHEAD
A beautiful location, too.
Very handy for the airport.
Have you two, er, any bambinos?
Yeah, three.
Yeah, two.
We've one on the way.
THEY CHUCKLE
They are gonna love the pool.
Ah.
Builders, eh? What can you do?
So the developers
who bought the land first,
you're working closely with them?
Si, si. We have
the planning permission agreed.
Nothing can spoil the view.
Ah, that's lovely.
I can smell the garden already.
I love it, Kev.
Ah.
PHONE RINGS
Oh, excuse me, senora.
Yes, I can't talk. I
OK. You need to relax.
There are no problems.
I will meet you.
I'll be there.
And how do I know
it'll be finished on time?
Or at all?
It's still at phase one.
It will be ready in two months.
Or you get a price reduction. Oh!
All in the contract.
Does the master bedroom
have an ensuite?
Si, si, it will have.
Oh. I mean, it's just
There's so much space,
isn't there? So much space.
It's massive.
You call me later, yes?
Hm-mm.
Let me know.
Can I say,
you two look a happy couple.
Aw.
Everyone says that, lad, don't they?
They do.
Yeah!
That Nelson's as dodgy as they come.
There were plenty of builders.
It didn't look like they were
doing much work, though.
PHONE BLEEPS
So much for the planning permission.
Perez says the water authority
denied permission
for any villas to be built
full stop.
So they're selling
half-done villas
that they know
will never be finished?
I mean, it's no wonder
Nelson looked on edge
when you mentioned developers.
Look, why don't you
head back to the ship?
Keep your eyes peeled. I'll ask
Jamil to meet me at Bar Vos.
Let's see who turns up
to meet Nelson.
Jamieson said what a good job I did
bringing the ship alongside
this morning.
Oh, lucky you.
Next time maybe
we could say toss a coin for it.
Playing fair for a change, are we?
You've been off with me.
Want to tell me
what this is all about?
The staff captain's job.
I know that you applied for it.
The captain asked
if I wanted to apply for it.
I was going to discuss it with you,
but
But you didn't.
I've barely seen you
away from the bridge.
You've been spending all your time
with Jack Grayling.
Or maybe you wanted to be
first in line for the job.
HE SCOFFS
I would never go behind your back!
I'm honest
as the very long summer day.
If you don't mind,
some of us have got work to do.
Jack.
What took you?
I had cabins to clean!
Right, the guy in the navy shirt
with the stubble.
Navy shirt, stubble.
Right.
Let me know who he's with
and what they're talking about.
They won't even know I'm there.
OK, OK, OK.
WHISPERING
Hey. He's in there
with Charlie's best man. Evan.
Did you hear what they were saying?
I couldn't get close enough,
but Evan seemed very angry.
He never mentioned that he knew any
of Charlie's business colleagues.
PHONE RINGS
Charlie? Hi.
What?
Calm down, mate.
Look, I'll be there, yeah?
I've gotta go.
Let me know what happens.
OK.
'Charlie, please,
'please, please,
'give them the money.
'I just wanna come back to you.
'Don't let me die.'
How am I supposed to get
that kind of money together?
Well, with all the villas
you've sold,
it must add up to a fair bit.
I've got building costs
coming out of my ears.
So why have none of them been built?
They are mid-build.
They should be finished in
Two months, phase one.
Yeah, we heard that
from Nelson Raposo,
the friendly estate agent.
But that isn't true, is it?
Because the water authority denied
their planning agreement
two months ago.
So you've been selling the villas
knowing they'll never be built
and keeping the deposits.
I had no idea
that this was going to happen.
Why should we believe
a word you say?
I swear on Cecile's life.
I went into business
with a property company out here,
and it all looked great on paper.
I quoted the UK customers,
collected the deposits,
THEY did the viewings.
The guy, yeah, Nelson,
he was the project manager here,
and he tells me that the water
company changed their minds,
but all these people own
is a dry patch of wasteland.
But he swore we'd get planning.
We even did to begin with,
and then
CHARLIE SCOFFS,
SIGHS
I need the cash back to refund
all the people who are suing me.
And Cecile knew all about this?
Told her at the start of the cruise,
said that if Nelson didn't cough up,
I'd likely lose
everything I've worked for.
She was so supportive, and
..then she's kidnapped.
You need to tell the police.
The video said no police.
No, Perez'll be able to h
Do me for fraud?
It'll be my word against Nelson's.
They'll think
that we were in on it together.
Maybe we shouldn't tell Perez
..for Cecile's sake.
JACK SIGHS
I need to make a withdrawal.
Yeah.
Jack.
How's it going, fella?
Huh, bit of a crawl, is it?
Thought I saw you earlier
at Bar Vos.
Nelson Raposo, you know him?
Never heard of him.
Ah, that's a bit
of a coincidence, then,
turning up at the same bar
at the same time
with the exact bloke
that sells Charlie's villas.
Heard the pair of you
got into a bit of a fight.
Listen, why don't you just stick
to your show tunes
and keep your nose out of it,
all right, mate?
Evan. Where the hell have you been?
CHARLIE SCOFFS
Cecile was right.
You are a waste of space.
All because she chose me that night
and not you.
Charlie, mate,
don't start this again, OK?
That's why you don't even care
that she's missing
cos you're jealous!
Hey
You always have been!
Charlie! Charlie.
Come on.
THEY WHISPER,
CHUCKLE
This is the guy you met
at the villas?
Two sugars, right?
HE CHUCKLES
Yes, that's the guy that we met.
Turns out he has several aliases.
Nelson Raposo is just one of them.
Spent four years in prison
for fraud.
We've got an APB out on him,
but his phone is disconnected,
and he's not at his home,
in any event.
Charlie claims
he knows nothing about this.
It happens all the time here.
Developers believe
they're funding villas
in partnership with local companies,
getting insider knowledge,
but really, they know all along
that planning won't go through.
One giant con,
leaving guys like Charlie
dealing with the consequences.
Any good news?
Well, they found the van,
burnt out in the north of the city,
but we managed to get prints,
gave us the name Juan Martin.
He's a non-petty criminal for hire,
record as long as your arm.
They've just picked him up
for questioning.
Heard anything from Charlie?
No, sorry. Nothing.
Well, we just have to say a prayer
that Juan will know where Nelson is.
Still no Charlie?
He's cutting it a bit fine.
Jack?
Oh, I'm starving.
HE SIGHS
I should have bought me
HE CHUCKLES
You legend!
My dad used to say,
"Always carry a spare snack.
"That way, if you get stuck out
on the boat longer than anticipated,
"you've got the energy to get back."
Oh.
I think the only advice
my old man ever gave to me
was to become a cop.
Probably because he was one.
I thought you loved
being in the force.
Grew to.
But ever since I was knee-high,
all I ever wanted to do was sing.
Thought I was Elvis, you know,
dancing around, hairbrush in hand.
IMITATING ELVIS: Oh-ho.
THEY CHUCKLE
But in my house, it was always,
"You need to earn
a proper living, son."
Mm.
I think my dad wished I was a boy.
Spent most of my life trying
to prove I was as good as one.
He used to take me out sailing
on the tiniest boat.
HE CHUCKLES
But I made sure
that there wasn't a wind
that I couldn't navigate
or a knot that I couldn't tie.
That's when I felt closest to him.
Just the two of us.
Sound of the ocean.
Sounds like a man
after my own heart.
He died before I became an officer.
Bet he was proud of you anyway.
It's Charlie.
Hm?
Who's that?
JACK GRUNTS,
FIGURE GROANS
Why the hell are you here?
To get the ransom money.
We saw him with Nelson
or whatever his name is.
They planned the whole kidnap
to get it.
And that's how Nelson knew
exactly where to pick up Cecile
from the hen do
because you told him.
Ella said you always follow Cecile
and Charlie round.
And you couldn't bear
that she chose Charlie over you
and you made Charlie pay.
Kate, call the police.
What are youse on?
I met Nelson to get my money back
because I didn't wanna lose
the 20k I invested,
and I gave him a right going over.
But you ended up in the middle
of a ransom handover by accident?
I'm here because he asked me to be.
I'm sorry, mate.
I didn't wanna let you down again.
But I didn't write that.
Then who did?
The money.
SHE GASPS
It's gone.
IN SPANISH:
You think you can be the eyes
and ears needed for a handover?
It could have led us
to where Cecile is.
If we don't get her back
in one piece, this is on your head.
Look, the ransom video
Should have been given to me
the minute you got it.
It's my fault, OK?
Charlie didn't want
to involve the police,
and I asked Jack not to contact you,
so if you are looking for someone
to blame, blame me.
Look, I'll send over the video
right now. Hm?
We'll try and pull CCTV,
but it looks like Nelson's
got away with the money
right under your nose.
They'll release Cecile, won't they?
Now they've got the money.
Well, we hope so,
unless we find her first.
One of the drivers
has given us the exact place
he dropped Cecile and Nelson off.
We've got teams out now
combing the area.
You best get back to the ships
and your yacht.
If you hear anything
Look, I'll call you. Scout's honour.
EVAN: They won't keep Cecile
now you've paid them.
I should've known
that the whole deal
was too good to be true.
Wish I hadn't been so bloody greedy
when Ella suggested
properties abroad.
What, Ella?
She told us she was just across
your UK business.
What? She's across everything.
Been worth her weight in gold since
she started with me four months ago.
Cecile knew instantly,
said she gave the best interview.
So she'll have been in touch
with Nelson?
So much for not knowing him either.
We need to get back to the ship
and find her. Mm.
What are you doing, my friend?
Ella wrote the note.
She got Evan to show up
as a distraction
while she grabbed the cash.
I can't believe
I didn't see this coming.
She could be anywhere by now.
'I just wanna come back to you.
'Don't let me die.'
Hey.
CCTV shows that Ella left the ship
at exactly 11:31,
just enough time to get the cash.
You've watched that,
like, a million times.
Got more flowers
than I can shake a stick at.
The bloody ice swans are melting
and still no signs
of the bill being paid.
I never could stand
Lily of the Valley.
How Cecile wore that for a perfume
every day I'll never know.
Jack.
That scent that I could smell
at the villas,
that wasn't the gardens -
that was Cecile.
Listen to this.
BACKGROUND WHIRRING
ON TAPE
Planes.
I thought we were going to be
together after all this was over?
This was a business
arrangement only.
Plans change.
You can't leave.
Watch me.
Cecile?
Cecile, wait!
Cecile?
Charlie.
I got away.
JACK: Don't believe a word she says.
She's leaving with your money.
But
Ella, what's with you?
I don't understand.
Look, they planned this thing
together back in Dubai.
Saw you as their next target.
They hadn't even met then.
No, they had.
At the hen party, I saw Ella's phone
with a picture of them together
years before you knew
either of them.
And that's why Cecile insisted on
interviewing assistants with you.
Ella was her choice, right?
She set you up, Charlie.
Cecile didn't bump into you
by accident.
It was all carefully planned.
But they hadn't banked on Nelson
fleecing you first.
When they found out on the cruise
you were going to lose everything
on this Palma property deal,
Ella, knowing Nelson
had bribed the water company,
blackmailed him into a kidnap plot.
Ella told him exactly
where the hen do was,
and Cecile invited Kate,
so she had the perfect witness.
We need to get to the restaurant.
CHEERING
THEY SING
'HERE COMES THE BRIDE'
SCREAMING
Cecile was carefully hidden
at the villa,
making sure she wasn't around
when we visited.
Ella then planted suspicion on Evan,
making out like
he was obsessed with Cecile,
using him as a distraction
at the ransom drop-off
so she could
make off with all the cash.
SIRENS APPROACHING
Cecile waiting for Ella
to divvy up all the cash
..and then disappear for good.
Was any of it real?
Did you ever have
any feelings for me at all?
I'm sorry.
Come on, Charlie.
Let's get a drink, mate.
LUCIANA: Nobody is going anywhere.
Cecile Ray, I'm placing you
under arrest for suspicion of fraud.
Jack Grayling. Should have known.
Always gets the guy in the end.
Old habits die hard, I guess.
Well, maybe I would too.
How about a drink?
To celebrate.
I'm I'm sorry.
Oh, no, no, no, no, no.
Don't be. I just
..can't. I mean,
much as I'd like to.
I get it.
Your heart belongs elsewhere.
HE SCOFFS
It's written all over your face.
I gotta get back to the station.
You take care, carino. Si?
You too, Luciana.
You too.
Hey. I need a favour.
I've a passenger who wants
serenading on deck this evening,
special occasion.
I've got show to do, Piers.
They insisted on you.
Said only the best would do.
Anything to keep
my passengers happy.
Sundeck. Shall we say
seven o'clock?

A special occasion?
Kate
..I believe a strong will
takes us through the grey storm.
My career, yes,
it is important to me,
but nothing is as important to me,
Kate
..as you.
Will you do me the honour
..of becoming my wife?
SHE EXHALES
Yes.
Yes, I'll marry you.

'NEEDLES AND PINS'
# I saw her today
# I saw her face
It was the face I loved
# And I knew I had to run away
# And get down on my knees and pray
# That they'd go away
# But still it begins, ah
# Those needles and pins, ah
# Because of all my pride
# The tears I gotta hide #
APPLAUSE
# Hey, I thought I was smart
# I won her heart
# Didn't think I'd do
# But now I see
She's worse to him than me
# Let her go ahead
# And take his love instead
# And one day she will see
# Just how to say please
# Oh, and get down on her knees
# Well, that's how it begins, ah
# She'll feel those needles and pins
# Hey, man! Hey, man!
# Why can I stop
And tell myself I'm wrong?
# I'm wrong, so wrong
# Why can't I stand up
# And tell myself I'm strong?
# Because I saw her today
# I saw her face
It was the face I loved
# And I knew I had to run away
# And get down on my knees and pray
# That they'd go away
But still it begins, ah
# She'd feel those needles
And pins, ah
# Those needles and pins, ah
# Whoa, those needles and pins. #
