EPISODE GUIDE Tensions rise as rival police forces for grown ups and kids compete to keep the peace in a flooded world. The APD (adult police - or ‘Dult’ police) are responsible for citizens over 16 and the YPD police anyone under 16. Series One Episode One: Strangetown Jemima Mallard’s houseboat gets sunk by masked raiders. Jem’s father (an Inspector in the APD) chases the jet skiers - but they are clocked as ‘under age’! The Dult police are powerless to arrest them. Jem ‘borrows’ a nearby taxi boat and pursues the raiders (breaking multiple laws in the process). When the raiders get away, Jem returns to find her father trying to talk YPD boss Haig out of arresting her for stealing the taxi. Haig offers her a deal: join the YPD or face punishment in The Bloody Tower, (the YPD’s infamous floating prison). Episode Two: Sinker Rule breaker Jemima Mallard is horrified to find herself a rookie YPD officer. Her new patrol partner Nick is equally horrified to have a raw recruit as a partner. Their first case is a weird one. Someone is sinking boats for fun. Attacks are centred on the Bargers: a secretive minority community led by a disciplinarian called The Ferryman. Jem and Nick discover that the Ferryman’s son knows more about the sinkings than he is letting on. Episode Three: Fab YPD officer Nick is worried because his arrest rate has slowed since he teamed up with new girl Jem. YPD boss Haig is threatening to take away Nick’s beloved launch - The Aqua - unless the pairs’ arrest stats improve. Jem agrees to go to the only place that can get Nick’s stats up: a ‘sink’ estate near the Isle of Frogs. Things get ‘choppy’ when the duo run into an illegal powerboat shop. Motors need to be licenced and ‘fabbing’ (fabricating) engine parts is a ‘three bar’ offence. Unbelievably, the fabber is over age and the YPD can’t arrest her! Has someone hacked her ‘unhackable’ age ID chip? Episode Four: Drift by Jem and Nick are sent to investigate a ‘drift-by’ robbery near Shard island. On top of the ruined Shard building is Nelson’s Column. Architects used to be ‘creative’ before the Climate Upgrade. On route, Jem and Nick pass a whirlpool of polluted water. These mysterious black holes are said to be toxic but Jem dives in to investigate. Running out of air, she is rescued by Nick - who risks his life. But when Jem discovers that her reserve air tank has been disconnected, she suspects the YPD of sabotage. Episode Five: Water rats The city is battened down, preparing to face a freak wave. Jem overhears a distress call: an old woman has fallen off her barge in the rat infested Canary swamp area. Rats (and adults) carry the incurable threadneedle disease, which only affects young people. Nick decides to ignore the call - there’s no ‘stats’ for saving a grown up. Infuriated, Jem ditches Nick and speeds to the rescue. She saves the old woman but when a wave hits her boat, she falls in and is carried downstream by the fast current. Reaching out, she clings onto the first thing she finds. This turns out to be a ‘Keep’ - a floating holding cell for YPD prisoners. But the plague rats have spotted it too!
Episode Six: The Bloody Tower Commander Haig orders Jem to go undercover to track down the criminal Father Thames. Jem’s ID chip seems to be malfunctioning. She is picked up by a YPD patrol. Their galley is on route to their infamous prison - The Bloody Tower. Jem discovers a mysterious calling card in her pocket. Jem learns from fellow prisoner Saul that her ‘scratcher’ card carries a code that will allow her to connect with Father Thames. At the gates of The Bloody Tower Jem’s boat is rescued by her father (DCI Mallard). He might be in the ‘Dult police - but he’s got a submarine full of ration packs to trade for his daughter’s freedom. How did Mallard find Jem? Mallard explains that Nick made the call. Jem is forced to reassess her opnion of her YPD partner. Episode Seven: Shark’s tooth Nick and Jem are back on the beat together. Jem’s attitude towards Nick seems to have softened. But Nick misinterprets this lack of open hostility for deeper feelings. Meanwhile, Illegal powerboats have been reported near the Thames Barrier Reef. The ‘Dult police are first on the scene but a shark rams Mallard’s boat. Luckily - Jem is handy with a harpoon gun and scores a direct hit. Jem is given a tooth from the shark as a souvenir. But the shark has been ‘augmented’ with technology. This kind of pre-flood hi-tech is ultra rare and illegal. Mallard suspects the shark was made by ‘Mercs’ - shady traders who are part merchant, part mercenaries. Episode Eight: M25 Two floating mines have drifted past the city defences. The first mine explodes and the second floats menacingly onwards. Little is known about technology from before the Climate Upgrade. The mines have come from the M25 an ancient minefield surrounding London. Mallard calls a Pastkeeper from the museum, who agrees to come and help. Nick tries to explode the mines with a ‘hell’ bomb, but the fuel just burns on the surface of the mine. Jem is not impressed with Nick for creating a floating fire bomb! An fat man arrives in a Hong Kong style junk. He deactivates the second mine, saving the floating market and leaves before anyone can thank him. Moments later, the real expert from the museum arrives. Who was the mysterious fat man? Jem is amazed when her shark tooth pendant vibrates and reveals a message. Episode Nine: Two Swords Sub-mander Haig gives Jem and Nick a rare day off. Jem decides to spend her day diving into the flooded waxworks of Madame Two Swords. Nick decides to ‘tag’ along. Jem doesn’t want him to come but he just can’t read the signs. As they arrive at a place called Toad Island, a masked figure swings onto the boat and knocks Nick into the water, leaving him stranded. When she removes her mask, Jem is amazed to find discover that the masked raider is her own mother - River. Jem’s father warned her to ‘let still waters be’ - her mother is brilliant but volatile. River tries to recruit Jem to join Father Thames. But Jem decides to go back to rescue Nick from the poisonous inhabitants of Toad Island. Episode Ten: Return of the Argonaut The sole survivor of a hand picked crew returns to London in his boat The Argo. The survivor claims to have discovered an entire new continent. Jem and Nick are sent to investigate, they find that the new land mass is a huge floating island of waste plastic. As they leave, they encounter the Mercs (part mercanaries - part merchants). Things look bad for the YPD pair until the leader of the Mercs spots Jem’s shark tooth necklace. Episode Eleven: Threadneedle When Jem and Nick investigate a house boat theft, Nick saves Jem from a booby trap but becomes infected with the ‘threadneedle’ disease. This only affects young people. Adults (and rats) are the carriers of the disease. Jem is shocked to learn that the Mander is banishing the ‘threadies’ to a ‘safeguarding’ area outside the barrier. Nick is stripped of his badge and taken away. Jem seeks out her mother’s help. But will River help save the life of an officer in the hated YPD? River agrees and Nick’s record is alterted to indicate a false positive.
