Back at the station: Coyle arrested. Carol Porter watches from the observation room as Jenn brings her Dave’s message: “He’s sorry he ran. He’s ready to talk now.” Carol finally cries — not for Leah, but for the years lost to silence. Final shot: Jenn walks out to the bay at low tide, holding the teddy bear. She places it on a rock as the water begins to rise. Fade to black.
Tony and Jenn confront Coyle ( Philip Whitchurch ) at a civic dinner. Coyle laughs it off. “Ewan was harmless. Just a flasher.” But Jenn notices Coyle’s cufflinks — navy blue with an Omega logo. She asks where he got them. Coyle’s smile freezes. “Gift.” Cut to: Ewan’s canal boat. Karen and uniform find a hidden locker — inside: the vintage Omega watch, a lock of child’s hair, and a handwritten note: “Bill knows.” the bay s05e04 1080p hd
Jenn pressures Carol again. Carol breaks: Dave didn’t leave — he’s in the shed. Jenn finds Dave ( Paul Higgins ) living in a locked garden shed, gaunt, terrified. He confesses: the night Leah vanished, he saw Ewan leading her toward the water. Dave followed, but the tide came in fast. He lost them. He’s stayed hidden because Ewan threatened his family. “He said he’d hurt Carol if I talked.” Jenn checks Ewan’s record — the indecency charge was dropped due to “insufficient evidence.” The arresting officer? Retired DC Bill Coyle , now a local councillor. Back at the station: Coyle arrested
