00:06Burt? Burt? Burt? Burt? What? What is this? It's your Norwegian flag. There is not a chance in hell I
00:14requested this. No, it's on the house. Get it? Because it's on the house? I'm just kidding. You'll be charged
00:20for it. No, but everybody's getting one. Why, have we been ceded to Norway? Ah, no time to explain it.
00:25Doc, got a lot of flags to deliver. Morning, Dr. Best.
00:32Oh, welcome on. Now I can add Norwegian to the list of accents that I can do for my Juilliard
00:38callback. Assuming I get the callback, which of course I will. What other accents can you do? Please, let's not
00:44get her started. Oh, the doctor do not understand the process of drama. Really? She's just adding an A to
00:53the end of words. Top of the morning to ya. Good eye, mate. Fancy Vegemite on toast for brekkie.
01:00How about performing your role as administrative assistant? How about that? Bless his little heart.
01:10I filled his water bowl. Dogs need to hydrate after a walk. That's not his water bowl. That's my cereal
01:15bowl. Whoops. My bad.
01:17I wanted to ask if you'd come to my Norway presentation at school this afternoon. My mom has to work
01:24and my dad lives in New Hampshire. Oh, this afternoon. I wish I could, but I don't think so. I'm
01:30sorry.
01:31Don't. Louisa just called and asked if you could come to Legion Hall. She says it's an emergency. Louisa? Yes.
01:45What's wrong? What's the emergency? Oh, it's not a medical emergency. It's a town emergency.
01:55We are obviously still reeling from the news that our beloved town elder and fellow council member Agnes Kluf jumped
02:01off a cliff, but we'd rather not talk about it.
02:05So why are we talking about it? Because not only are the optics less than ideal, we've yet to name
02:10a replacement for the town council and the Norwegians come today.
02:13What is up with the Norwegians? Haven't you heard? We're getting a sister city. Geneva and Franklin have been trying
02:20to make this happen for a decade.
02:22Portland, Maine has five sister cities. Five. Yeah, I heard. Meanwhile, Portland has been sitting on the city-seeking cities
02:28list for years.
02:29And we finally got interest from a small coastal town in Norway. And the Norwegian delegation is arriving today to
02:38visit and to sign an official sister city agreement.
02:44That's ridiculous. Why would they fly all the way over here for something strictly ceremonial?
02:48It's a cultural exchange, and it will be so great for Portland. Pen pals, for the students, and a sharing
02:55of traditions and best practices. I mean, everyone is thrilled.
03:00Yes, everyone.
03:00And although our fellow council member Glendon was strongly against the idea, the three of us, we overruled him and
03:08voted that you should take over Agnes' seat in the town council.
03:11What? No. No.
03:12Come on, it's temporary. And the Portland charter says that we need an uneven number, and we need someone soon
03:18because Glendon is already at the airport picking up the Norwegians, so.
03:22But why me?
03:23Well, we need someone impressive and accomplished.
03:27And we knew you'd be in a suit.
03:35As president of the Port Wendt Town Council, I'd like to welcome Sigrid Ludvig Johansson from, how do you say
03:43it, Fajords?
03:45Fjordhaven.
03:46Fjordhaven.
03:47The J is like a Y, so why is there a J?
03:52Oh, he loves this joke.
03:56Oh, our town is very small, but very beautiful.
04:00Fjordhaven is the Port Wendt of Norway.
04:02I hope they're not expecting an uptick in tourism.
04:05We are thrilled and honored that the two of you came all this way.
04:10Actually, the three of us.
04:11Yes!
04:13Should you even be here?
04:14I could ask you the same thing.
04:16I mean, traveling.
04:17Oh, this is our fourth child, so not my, um, number one horse show.
04:24Uh, not your first rodeo.
04:28Yes!
04:32And now it's my profound pleasure to represent Port Wendt in signing our official sister city agreement with Fjordhaven.
04:52Sheriff Mark, could you take some pictures for me on my phone?
04:55Mark?
04:56Yes, welcome.
04:57What?
04:58I was asking if you could take some pictures for me.
05:00Yeah, of course.
05:01You got it.
05:03Okay, everybody.
05:06On three, one.
05:08That's nice.
05:08Here you go, Rory.
05:10It's nice.
05:11Please, now, everyone, enjoy Canabula.
05:14This is a traditional Norwegian pastry from the best bakery in Fjordhaven.
05:19It's the only bakery in Fjordhaven, but they are delicious, so be sure to try one.
05:24You don't have to tell me twice.
05:27Welcome in.
05:28I'm Elaine.
05:30I work with our Dr. Best.
05:32Pleasant to meet you, Elaine.
05:34Dr. Best, it is an honor.
05:36We have heard much about you.
05:38Yes, the famous surgeon who he roguely stepped in when Port Wendt lost its doctor.
05:43You're a legend.
05:44I think that's overstating it a bit.
05:46Yeah, most people here don't like him that much.
05:51Oh, hello.
05:52Oh, we'd love to see your practice.
05:54Oh, definitely.
05:55It is in your house, yes?
05:57Mm-hmm.
05:57Oh, so cute.
05:58Maybe we can gift you a piece of equipment you need.
06:01Oh, an espresso maker would be nice.
06:03No, no, something much more than that, uh, a machine for the x-rays or, uh, new EKG.
06:10I have all the equipment I need.
06:13There are some nicer people over here than I need you.
06:15Let's go do that.
06:18Aren't they great?
06:20Not really.
06:21You seem over the top.
06:23Why are they trying so hard?
06:25Yeah, as a temporary town council member, maybe you could try harder at being less negative.
06:33Oh, sorry, sorry, sorry.
06:36Uh, is everything okay between us?
06:39I mean, I know we haven't talked since, uh...
06:40Yeah, we're cool.
06:41All good.
06:42Really?
06:42Oh, okay.
06:43I'm, I'm glad.
06:44You tried one of the whole level of breads?
06:46There's my third one, but I'm gonna dip this one in coffee.
06:49Well...
06:50How good does that sound?
06:51Am I right?
06:52Maybe you should swallow first.
06:53Yum.
06:54Yeah.
07:06Are you okay?
07:07Yeah, I'm fine, I'm fine.
07:08You got him?
07:09Yeah, I'm all right, I'm all right, I'm all right.
07:15You okay?
07:16Just tired.
07:17I haven't been sleeping well.
07:18Mark, if you don't wait...
07:21Maybe a few pounds.
07:22Why?
07:22When was the last time you went to the gym?
07:23Um, I'm just saying, between the weight gain and the insomnia, maybe it's time for a check-up.
07:27Fine.
07:28But you're still not my friend.
07:29Or my councilman.
07:31Stupid sash.
08:06So, have I seen you tonight?
08:07You think that I would miss the first ever lobster roll out the red carpet for the Norwegians' dinner?
08:14Uh-uh.
08:15So, they're staying at the Salty Breeze and Sarah, they're gorjois, both of them like Nordic
08:21gods.
08:22Like, do we serve them dinner or do we just lay food at their feet?
08:25Ha-ha-ha.
08:27Well, these lobsters are so fresh, their families don't even know they're missing yet.
08:31That's dark.
08:32Ha-ha.
08:32I love it.
08:33Ha-ha-ha.
08:34See you tonight.
08:34Ha-ha-ha.
08:36Ha-ha-ha.
08:37Drive careful with those bugs.
08:38Yeah, let me find them hot water and garlic butter.
08:41Ha-ha-ha-ha.
08:44Ha-ha-ha-ha.
08:46Ha-ha-ha-ha.
08:46Ha-ha-ha.
08:47Ha-ha-ha-ha.
08:48Ow.
08:50What?
08:53Who's flying this thing?
08:55Huh?
08:57Who did this?
09:02Doc.
09:03I need to talk to you privately.
09:06Well, that's normally how it works with doctors.
09:09What seems to be the problem?
09:11I...
09:12Well...
09:12I'm not sure how to say this.
09:14It will sound insane.
09:16I assure you I've heard it all before.
09:18Okay.
09:19The thing is, I haven't had a bowel movement in five days.
09:24You're constipated?
09:25Well, yes.
09:26It's totally normal.
09:28It's nothing to be embarrassed about.
09:29It's likely due to a lack of dietary fibers, fluid...
09:32No.
09:32Exercise.
09:33No.
09:33I know it's causing it.
09:35I'm afraid to go.
09:36Because five days ago, I pooped a little man.
09:42I...
09:42Sorry.
09:42I don't understand.
09:43You...
09:45You pooped on a little man?
09:48No.
09:49Your stool was shaped like a little man?
09:53There was a little man in my poop and I panicked and I flushed him down the toilet.
09:56Okay.
09:57Just take it easy.
09:58Okay?
09:59I think you had a vivid dream.
10:00That's a dream so intense and lifelike that you wake up and you think it's real.
10:04Your brain even treats it like a memory.
10:05No.
10:05It was the middle of the day.
10:07And tonight is our big dinner for the Norwegians.
10:09This isn't a good time for me to be cuckoo for Cocoa Puffs.
10:12Greg, are you on any new medication that could cause you to hallucinate?
10:16There wasn't a hallucination either.
10:18It happened.
10:20I pooped a little man.
10:25Did the little man say anything?
10:29It wasn't a real man.
10:31Okay.
10:31It doesn't matter what you saw or think you saw, okay?
10:35First and foremost, we need to take care of his constipation.
10:37Oh.
10:38Okay.
10:40Okay.
10:40Okay.
10:43That is a prescription for laxatives in case the over-the-counters don't work.
10:47Okay?
10:48And don't tell anyone about this.
10:51Again, that's normally how it works with doctors.
11:10And the home of the brave.
11:19That's our girl.
11:25Thank you, Mallory.
11:26Okay.
11:27And lastly, but not leastly, we have Peter Kronk.
11:29Oh, nap time.
11:32You cut it.
11:34For my project, I whittled white pine into a miniature replica of a Viking ship because...
11:44Because Pinus Strobus...
11:46Did he just say penis?
11:49More commonly known as Eastern White Pine is Main State Tree.
11:53So, this ship represents the blending of our cultures.
11:57Please take this gift as a reminder that you have a friend across the ocean in Portland.
12:04So beautiful.
12:07Thank you, Peter.
12:08And this concludes our presentation for our friends from Fjordhaven.
12:12Fjordhaven.
12:13Fjordhaven.
12:14Fjordhaven.
12:15Fjordhaven.
12:16Fjordhaven.
12:16Fjordhaven.
12:16Fjordhaven.
12:17Fjordhaven.
12:21Fjordhaven.
12:22How can a jewel of a school like this be closing?
12:26This is a tragedy.
12:28I know.
12:29Don't start.
12:30You're gonna make me cry.
12:31Your town.
12:32Your...
12:32Your children.
12:34It...
12:35It burns my heart.
12:38I am too moved.
12:40Poor Sigrid.
12:41She feels too much.
12:42Oh, children.
12:46Don't you see?
12:47They care about this town as much as we do.
12:49What, have they been here three hours?
12:52I thought Scandinavian people were supposed to be stoic.
12:55Don't you ever get tired of being like this?
12:57Like what?
12:58So...
12:59Distrustful.
13:00I don't know.
13:00I guess it's just the way I am.
13:02Well, it's never too late to change.
13:08Is that your dad?
13:10Yeah.
13:18She had a little cut on her head.
13:20But don't worry.
13:21I cleaned her up for ya.
13:24I don't have any idea what she just said to you.
13:26But this thing hit me in the back of my head.
13:30Hard enough to break in half?
13:32Oh, no.
13:33That happened after I jumped up and down on it.
13:35But it broke my skin.
13:36It's left a goose egg the size of Bar Harbor.
13:41You just put cold compress on it.
13:44Leave it there.
13:47Damn machine not gonna take me down.
13:50Oh, by the way, you going to the Legion Hall tonight for the Sister City dinner?
13:54Haven't we seen enough of those people?
13:56I'm serious.
13:57I don't like them.
13:58I don't trust them.
13:59Why did they even choose Port Wynn?
14:01Because it's a beautiful place with warm and caring people save one cynical misanthropic doctor.
14:08You really think I'm that negative?
14:10You're horrible.
14:11Good news is, it's never too late to change or to try.
14:15So I've heard.
14:15Partners, there's a new sheriff in town.
14:19Truth is, he ain't new, it is Mark, but he's wanting to talk to Sarah.
14:22Well, send him in.
14:23I'm sorry, is he your next patient?
14:26Hi Sarah, I got your message.
14:28Let's get down your statement.
14:30Here's my statement.
14:31Whoever you were that was flying that damn toy, you're gonna be lobster bait unless you come to me and
14:39apologize for almost killing me, you stupid moron.
14:42I meant, more like what time did it happen?
14:46Oh, it was about noon.
14:48Noon?
14:49Bastards.
14:50Broad daylight.
14:54Any idea who was operating this thing?
14:56If I did, they'd be here seeking medical attention.
15:01D-S-E-N.
15:02I think that's just part of the word, uh, right at the break.
15:06I'm sorry.
15:07Who made you Watson?
15:11And how are you feeling, Mark?
15:12How do you think I'm feeling?
15:14We have visitors in from Norway, one of the safest countries in the world, and I can't even protect our
15:19citizens from illegal drones.
15:22How does that make me look?
15:27Mark, did you just lose your balance just gesturing?
15:30No, I don't know what happened.
15:33Have you been feeling dizzy lately?
15:36Yes.
15:37That's what happened this morning.
15:39You know what?
15:39I have a new theory.
15:41No, not that.
15:44You might have vertigo.
15:46Uh, it would line up with your symptoms.
15:48We should do a quick Romberg test.
15:50They told you.
15:51I haven't had anything to drink.
15:53Yes, but it can also be used to test vertigo.
15:55Let's go, feet together, arms out.
15:56I know how to do it!
16:05Oh, you're swaying, Mark.
16:07So it could be vertigo.
16:08You should stay here for more diagnostics, and we could do a Dick's Hall Pike maneuver to try to reset
16:12the semicircular canals.
16:14Okay, the semicircular canals can wait.
16:16It's chaos out there, and I'm the thin blue line.
16:19Not as thin as I used to be.
16:21Thank you so much for reminding me of that.
16:23But right now, more than ever, poor Wen needs a sheriff.
16:28And I'm the sheriff!
16:33Okay.
16:35Your blood pressure is normal.
16:38The unexplained weight gain is a little concerning.
16:40It's not unexplained.
16:42I've been super hungry lately.
16:44Okay.
16:45Increased appetite.
16:46And you said fatigue?
16:48Uh-huh.
16:48Still on antibiotics for the impalement?
16:50I took the last of them this morning.
16:53Have you been drinking well on them?
16:54Of course not.
16:55I know better than that.
16:58Okay.
17:00Well, everything looks fairly normal.
17:03But with your consolation of symptoms, I'd still like to rule out hyperthyroidism, insulin imbalance, and anemia.
17:10We'll have Elaine do a blood draw, and I'll call you when we get the lab results back.
17:14But not for any other reason.
17:16Don't call just to shoot the you-know-what, because those days are over.
17:22Irritability.
17:22Irritability.
17:27What is it?
17:30Martin?
17:31Oh.
17:31Hi.
17:32Yeah.
17:33Please come in.
17:34I'll just be a minute.
17:37You see, the thing is, as a temporary town council member, you are supposed to go to the lobster rollout
17:44the red carpet tonight.
17:46And I imagine there's nothing you'd like to do less, and to make it even more exciting.
17:50Geneva wants us all in sweaters, and this one is yours.
18:00Yeah, okay.
18:02I'll tell her that you've just had too much work to do.
18:04Okay.
18:05Actually, you know, I've been meaning to tell you-
18:08Yes?
18:10The other night when I came to the Salty Breeze to talk about the-
18:13Yes, the-
18:14That.
18:14And you said that you wanted-
18:16Yeah?
18:17Yeah.
18:18What?
18:18Right.
18:19Well, if you are still serious about wanting a child-
18:23Yes?
18:25I, um-
18:28What?
18:28I-I know a specialist that I-I think you'd want to talk to.
18:32Oh.
18:33Um, a-a-a specialist?
18:36Uh-
18:36Yeah.
18:37Your hemochromatosis and the iron overload can affect fertility.
18:41Oh.
18:41That, coupled with your age, I-
18:44Yeah.
18:44What you're saying is, I planned this really well.
18:46Mm-hmm.
18:48Um, you know a-a specialist?
18:51Mm-hmm.
18:51Fertility.
18:52One of the best.
18:53But she's in Boston.
18:54Oh, well, I'm-I'm happy to go to Boston to see one of the best.
18:59Great.
18:59Okay.
19:00Well, I'll-I'll email her- I'll email you-
19:03Okay.
19:03Her contact information.
19:06Well, thanks.
19:06Yeah.
19:06Thanks. Uh, yeah.
19:11Louisa.
19:12Yes, Martin?
19:17When you and Mark were dating, did he ever resort to drinking or drugs when he was feeling stressed or
19:23depressed?
19:24Never, you know.
19:26Although, honestly, I can't remember Mark ever being stressed or depressed. He was always so positive and happy.
19:32Mm-hmm.
19:32It must have been pleasant, being with someone who was so happy all the time.
19:37It was, actually.
19:41Oh, sorry.
19:42Doc, I need to see you right away about the event.
19:46Mm-hmm.
19:47Tonight.
19:48That's going to be great.
19:54The locks that have worked.
19:56But it happened again.
19:58I pooped another little man.
19:59You've got to be kidding me.
20:01Is this how it starts?
20:02First you lose your keys and then you have trouble remembering names and then you start hallucinating little men in
20:07your poop.
20:09Greg, I know you're in there.
20:11Are you okay?
20:12Yes, of course.
20:13Why wouldn't I be?
20:14You went pale and rushed out and now you're in a doctor's office and you won't let me in.
20:24I followed you.
20:25I'm sorry, baby, but you've been acting very strange.
20:28Is there something you're not telling me?
20:30I can't say it aloud.
20:32Mm-mm.
20:32You have to tell him.
20:34Whatever it is, we'll get through it together.
20:39Tell it to me straight, Doc.
20:42Greg thinks he's pooping little men.
20:44What?
20:45It happened twice and I'm not imagining it.
20:48Is it possible that you ingested, you know, Toy Soldier or I...
20:55No.
20:55I keep a food journal.
20:57I think I would remember writing Toy Soldier.
20:59And they aren't dressed like soldiers.
21:04How many little men have you pooped?
21:07Two.
21:08One five days ago and another one today.
21:12I know.
21:13It sounds crazy.
21:15But I can see their faces.
21:18Their little eyes staring up at me.
21:20And Georgie...
21:23I feel like I know them.
21:25Wait a minute.
21:27Were these two little men wearing tuxedos?
21:33Greg, that's nasty.
21:37Oh!
21:38Greg, how could you...
21:39I didn't.
21:39I wouldn't.
21:40I forgot we even had that in our freezer.
21:43What was it?
21:44The top tier of our wedding cake.
21:47We were supposed to eat it together on our first anniversary.
21:50Which we never did because...
21:52Well, you forgot about it too.
21:53But I didn't eat it without you, including the grooms.
21:56There has to be another explanation.
21:57I have absolutely no memory of any of this.
22:01You could be sleep eating.
22:03Is that really a thing?
22:05It is a thing.
22:06And it can be dangerous.
22:08People in a sleep state sometimes use sharp utensils or eat non-food items.
22:12Baby, there have been crumbs in the bed.
22:15I've been meaning to ask.
22:16That is so gross and embarrassing.
22:19How could I get from our bedroom all the way downstairs,
22:22eat not just the cake, but the cake toppers,
22:25get back to bed and not remember any of it?
22:28No, you could set up a camera to see if that's what's really happening.
22:30Oh, sure.
22:32Might as well make the humiliation complete.
22:35I didn't even know you guys were married.
22:36Hey, no one did.
22:38What?
22:38The cat's out of the bag.
22:40Hey, we didn't want to make a fuss.
22:42So we went to a justice of the peace five years ago.
22:44But Georgie still wanted to make a big, beautiful wedding cake,
22:47even if it was just the two of us.
22:50Was it still delicious five years later?
22:53Innocent until proven guilty.
22:55The proof is in the pooping.
22:57Oh.
22:59Oh, that's good.
23:00Oh, my goodness.
23:04What would you say is the secret to your relationship?
23:08Oh.
23:08In the end, George is just really good company.
23:11Greg, too.
23:13He always puts a smile on my face.
23:16And he's cute.
23:19I'll leave you to it.
23:21And I said, were the little men wearing tuxedos?
23:24Yeah.
23:25So, in addition to eating the top tier of our wedding cake
23:28that had been in our freezer for five years,
23:30he was also eating at the cake toppers.
23:32Allegedly.
23:33We haven't seen proof.
23:35You got married five years ago and didn't tell anyone?
23:39We didn't want to make anyone uncomfortable.
23:41Uncomfortable?
23:42By your wedding?
23:43It can be a touchy subject for people, and you never know.
23:47You two are the bedrock of this town.
23:49I mean, every, every event, every silly ritual,
23:53you are the first to jump in.
23:55I mean, look at you. You look ridiculous.
23:56Uh, you're wrong.
23:57I just, how could you worry about not being, not being accepted?
24:01We knew it would probably be fine, but why risk it?
24:10It's time for big dance.
24:13I heard you have all been practicing.
24:16But, for those of you who haven't,
24:19it is as easy as one slice of pie.
24:23We will be doing The Real Braunfjordhaven.
24:26The Real is a traditional Norwegian folk dance with three pots.
24:30clapping.
24:33Hopping.
24:35And galloping.
24:36You've lost me at hopping.
24:41Hiya!
24:49So, Sara, I heard you are responsible for the delicious lobster we ate.
24:54Did you really catch them more yourself?
24:57Aw, thanks.
24:58It wasn't much. Just three 16-hour lobstering days.
25:02Oh, I love a hard-working woman.
25:04In Norway, we are also built strong.
25:06We fish until we are 90.
25:08Oh, well.
25:09It's such an honor to meet you.
25:12She says that to everyone.
25:14What's wrong with you?
25:15I don't know. I just don't trust them.
25:18Call it instinct.
25:19Next time we have visitors,
25:21how about we just ask them to spit in our eye and kick us in the shins?
25:25Is that what will make you happy?
25:26Huh?
25:26Think about it.
25:28You do realize that your tenure on the council is...
25:32temporary?
25:32I can assure you,
25:34the only person who wants me off this town council more than you is me.
25:43I'm taking the early train to Boston in the morning to talk to Dr. Montgomery.
25:47Uh-huh.
25:47What did you say to get me in so quickly?
25:49Nothing.
25:50Oh, well, thank you.
25:53Oh, hey! Oh, hey!
25:59How much have you had a drink tonight?
26:01Just, like, one sip of Aquavit, but...
26:03They try our lobster rolls, we try their Aquavit, it's a cultural exchange.
26:07I can smell the alcohol in your breath.
26:09What, so now you're calling me a liar?
26:10I'm just concerned.
26:11Why don't you just have some water, okay?
26:14Be careful, and let's have somebody drive you home.
26:16For the last time, I'm fine, okay?
26:19Just...
26:25Just...
26:31Go, brah.
26:33I totally agree.
26:35I think it's going great.
26:37I believe we have them eating out of the...
26:39middle of our heads.
26:41Is this how you say it?
26:44Mark!
26:47Mark!
26:53You all right?
26:54Yeah.
26:57I'm so sorry.
26:58I'm so sorry.
26:59I'm so sorry.
26:59Are you okay?
26:59Are you okay?
27:00You're okay?
27:00Take a breath, Lazar, right now.
27:02What's going on with you?
27:02You could have killed us.
27:11Whoa, I am really drunk.
27:14I mean, according to this, but that can't be right.
27:17What does it say?
27:170.16.
27:190.08 is legally drunk.
27:22But I just had that one sip of Aquavit.
27:24I even had a full belly.
27:26I had the three lobster rolls and a bunch of those Norwegian...
27:29I love it.
27:30The cannibalists.
27:31The Norwegian pastries.
27:33I had them.
27:34Telling the truth.
27:35I'm not drunk.
27:36Which is exactly what drunk people say when I stop them.
27:40They deny and argue and beg.
27:44And I still have to write them up.
27:50Take my badge.
27:52Take my keys.
27:54Take me.
28:01Mark, I really don't think this is necessary.
28:04The law is the law.
28:07Even though I'm not drunk.
28:09You have to believe me, Doc.
28:11I want to.
28:12But you just failed a breathalyzer test.
28:14You reek of alcohol.
28:15You nearly ran us over.
28:18Mark, if you've been drinking, you can tell me.
28:22Maybe I'm drinking so much that I can't even remember I've been drinking.
28:27I've had a really rough couple of months, you know?
28:30Like the broken engagement.
28:32The ampel, man.
28:34The chlamydia.
28:36The worst of all.
28:38My best bro betrayed me.
28:40Oh, come on.
28:41The impalement has to come first.
28:42Here, buddy.
28:43Take these.
28:45My bad.
28:46Bad throw.
28:47Added to the list.
28:48Just let me out in the morning when I've had an opportunity to sleep this off and think about what
28:54I've done.
28:54Mark, this is ridiculous.
28:56Just let me drive you home.
28:57No, man.
28:58No can do.
28:59I sleep in the slammer.
29:01Don't even think about trying to break me out of here, man.
29:05You know, fine.
29:07But I am going to leave you the keys to the cell.
29:10That's fine.
29:11Feel free.
29:12But I'm not going to let me use them because this is not my number one horse show.
29:19Martin.
29:21Martin.
29:22Before you go.
29:29Will you pass me that box of donuts through the bars?
29:36Thank you for squeezing me into your schedule, Dr. Montgomery.
29:39No problem.
29:40Well, actually it was a problem.
29:41I had to move quite a few things around.
29:43Were you really referred by Martin Best?
29:45Yes.
29:46Is that surprising?
29:48Given how abruptly he left Boston, yeah.
29:50And he's your PCP?
29:52Yes.
29:53And a friend, I suppose.
29:56He's a local doctor in Port Wen.
29:58I'm sorry, Port what?
29:59Port Wen, Maine.
30:01Ah.
30:02Where he summered as a kid.
30:05How do you know, Martin?
30:07We used to date.
30:08Oh.
30:11It is really good that you came to see me because your fertility window is closed.
30:15Closing.
30:16But is it like just barely cracked open or could you still feel a draft?
30:22Yeah.
30:23You're funny.
30:24So as you can see in the ultrasound, it shows that you have a low antral follicle count,
30:30which suggests diminished ovarian reserve.
30:33Is that normal for women my age?
30:35Diminished.
30:36Diminished.
30:36Meaning low.
30:38Compared to women your age.
30:40Great.
30:40So if your blood tests come back and show that you have high FSH levels, IVF is going
30:46to be your best option.
30:48Is your partner open to IVF?
30:49I don't have a partner at the moment, which is why I waited apparently longer than I should
30:55have.
30:55Well, early bird gets the sperm.
30:58I'm kidding.
30:59I'm not kidding.
31:01We'll know more definitively when the results come back.
31:04Now, is Martin, is he still single?
31:06I think so.
31:08I think so.
31:09Yeah.
31:10How did you two meet?
31:12Med school.
31:13Oh.
31:13You dated in med school?
31:14Yeah.
31:15And then for several years after that.
31:17Several?
31:17Okay.
31:18But we were married to our careers.
31:20And I suspect he never got over me.
31:22Obviously.
31:23Yeah.
31:24Obviously.
31:27So I should put my pants on now.
31:29Alright.
31:30Well, I will call you with the test results.
31:33Okay.
31:33Okay?
31:34And please, tell Marty I said hi.
31:38I will.
31:41Oh, there he is.
31:43I'm horrified.
31:45I'm a disgusting Neanderthal sleep eater.
31:48How do I stop?
31:51The question is, why did you start?
31:53And why the wedding cake?
31:55Well, we did recently hit the five-year mark.
31:58And I guess I always felt guilty.
32:01We kept our marriage a secret.
32:02George told his parents I never even did that.
32:06Hmm.
32:06Well, that could be it.
32:07Talk therapy could help.
32:08You might get some relief now that more people know.
32:10Just make sure you're eating enough at night so that you're not hungry.
32:14Right?
32:14And worst comes to worst, some people put a lock on their refrigerator.
32:18I'm sorry, Georgie.
32:20You didn't sign up for this.
32:21I'm an embarrassment.
32:23Listen, I signed up for in sickness and in health.
32:26And baby, this is sick.
32:28Wait, there's more now.
32:30Wait.
32:31That's not you.
32:32Oh.
32:33That's Ludwig.
32:34What is our Norwegian friend doing in your kitchen at 3 a.m.?
32:38Sleep eaters love company.
32:40Why is he going into the walk-in?
32:42Oh, oh.
32:43Because he was upset that we didn't have a mini fridge and he needed to store Sigrid's medication.
32:47So I told him he could use ours.
32:48Sigrid told me she doesn't believe in medication.
32:50It's another reason not to like her.
32:52Oh.
32:52How could you not like Siggy?
32:54We're obsessed with her.
32:55She's like Scandinavian Barbie.
32:57Pregnant with Scandinavian Ken's baby.
33:00Are you too serious?
33:01Look, I haven't had a moment.
33:02I heard Siggy speak perfect English to Ludwig.
33:07Mm-hmm.
33:09None of this.
33:10It's as simple as...
33:14You felt good about that?
33:15That was a horrible accent.
33:16Okay.
33:17Forget it.
33:18Why are they pretending her English is not so good?
33:20Maybe it's just their way of seeming less intimidating.
33:23Because they're gorgeous and perfect in every way.
33:27Hey, he's coming out now.
33:28If only.
33:30I need to see what's in your walk-in.
33:38I don't see any medicine here.
33:40Just a Norwegian yogurt.
33:42So Ludwig is a liar, see?
33:44Or he just likes yogurt.
33:45Now are you done slandering our guests?
33:47Because we need to get to work.
33:56This feels like an invasion of privacy.
33:58This is your kitchen, Jess.
33:59Maybe that's her medication.
34:01This is not medicine.
34:03These are water samples.
34:04With dates and times.
34:06Why would he need water samples?
34:08He's a science teacher.
34:10So he says.
34:11Okay, okay, okay.
34:12Doc, that's enough.
34:13Stop being a hater.
34:14They're lovely people.
34:15Seriously.
34:16Why do you assume the worst?
34:18Sure there are bad people.
34:19But the world is also full of good, friendly, generous, big hearted people.
34:25Why is it so hard for you to believe that?
34:28Because I don't know.
34:28That hasn't been my experience.
34:30Well, it's never too late to change.
34:33Is that a town motto?
34:34No, you're the third person today to...
34:36Oh.
34:36Sheriff Mark's lab results.
34:38I have to go see Mark.
34:39Well, maybe he can help you solve the case of the suspicious yogurt.
34:43Put it back where it was.
34:44Greg, Greg, Greg.
34:45I swear to God.
34:50Mark?
35:00Oh, you, you, uh, what, what, what are you doing here?
35:03I'm looking for Mark.
35:04Me too.
35:05I, I heard he slept here last night and I wanted to see if he was okay.
35:08He's not.
35:09I got his lab results from yesterday morning.
35:11His blood alcohol level was already through the roof.
35:14And he should be in a hospital with an IV.
35:15I have no idea where he is.
35:16Okay.
35:17Um, well, his car is still here.
35:19He couldn't have gotten far.
35:20Let me, you know, he hasn't been answering his phone, so let me try again.
35:34Mark!
35:36Sally hasn't heard from him either.
35:39Mark!
35:40Is there anywhere else Mark used to go when he was unhandled?
35:43Uh, um, there is one place.
35:49Yeah, yeah.
35:53Mark!
35:54Finally.
35:54Oh my God!
35:55Great!
35:56The last two people I want to see.
35:58I was already having a terrible year and now I'm an alcoholic too.
36:02Mark, that really doesn't look safe.
36:03Please come down.
36:04Please!
36:04Nope!
36:05You're gonna have to come up!
36:11Okay.
36:13Okay.
36:14I got it.
36:14I got it.
36:14Okay.
36:15I got it.
36:15I got it.
36:16Okay.
36:16Okay.
36:17Mark, I probably know you better than anyone and I really, really don't think that you
36:23are an alcoholic.
36:25I agree, Mark, but you would have had to drink to get your blood alcohol level to where it
36:33was.
36:34You'd be sick right now.
36:35Yeah.
36:36Ah!
36:37My teletherapist says that I eat my feelings, not drink them.
36:43The only thing that's been strange is how much he's been eating.
36:46I mean, it's been a lot more than usual.
36:51Well, I have a lot of feelings.
37:01Auto-brewery syndrome.
37:03Nope, that's not the secret password.
37:07That's what you have.
37:09The sugar, the carbs, right?
37:12Plus your antibiotics and the gastric impalement.
37:14Your gut is fermenting yeast.
37:17Your stomach has basically created a brewery.
37:20So you do have alcohol in your system, which is making you act like a dangerously drunk
37:23person because you're producing it, not drinking it.
37:28Wait, so I'm not an alcoholic.
37:30I'm just a brewery.
37:31Uh-uh.
37:32Did you hear that, Louisa?
37:33I did.
37:34I did.
37:34Yay!
37:39Could you both please come down now, please?
37:45You two really care about me.
37:47Yeah, of course we do, Mark.
37:49You climbed a tree house for me.
37:51I did.
37:51I did enjoy it.
37:52I love you.
37:54Both of you.
37:55As friends.
37:56Nothing more.
37:58Yeah.
37:59Oh, that's cool.
38:01No, not cool.
38:03It's illegal.
38:04We should get the police.
38:05Wait.
38:06I am the police.
38:09Wait, is that Ludwig?
38:17Thank you, Elaine, for not throwing out the trash when I ask you to.
38:23That's no problem in Norwegian.
38:25Al, you think you can pull the footage from this drone?
38:27Maybe.
38:28Hi, Dr. Best.
38:30Guess what?
38:31I ordered Copernicus, a water and food bowl with his name on them.
38:36They come next week.
38:38Great.
38:39Listen, Peter, you can't tell people I'm your father.
38:43Why not?
38:44Because it's not true.
38:46But what if I wish it was true?
38:49Why would you want me as a father?
38:51You're mean, you're nice, and I trust you.
38:55Well, you're the one person who doesn't think I should change.
38:59You?
39:00No way.
39:01Then it wouldn't be you.
39:05Got it, Doc.
39:07You did?
39:09You cracked into the drone?
39:10Yep.
39:11By using the USB cable.
39:14Oh.
39:15Why is he filming the coastline?
39:17Because it's beautiful.
39:19Whoa.
39:22Are they underwater now?
39:23That's wild.
39:24It is wild.
39:26It is wild, but why film underwater in Port Wentz?
39:28It's not known for its coral reefs.
39:32Unless for the same reason you would test the water.
39:37Property of Havertzen Industries.
39:41How?
39:42Google Havertzen Industries.
39:44A-H-A-V-A-R-D-S-E-N.
39:54Havertzen Industries is one of the largest seafood conglomerates in the world with an annual revenue of approximately 7.5
40:00billion.
40:01Specializing in frozen, canned, and fresh seafood.
40:04It's based in Norway, owned by Bjorn Havertzen, whose daughter, Seagrid, is poised to take over the company in the
40:11next five years.
40:12Bet you $20 that's our Seagrid.
40:18Of course she's involved in this.
40:21Involved in what?
40:22It's unclear.
40:23But it's not good.
40:25Wait.
40:25Doc, this is my sister city.
40:28I already lost one sister.
40:30This is very triggering.
40:40Where's Ludwig and Sigrid?
40:41They went out sightseeing with Glendon.
40:44Why?
40:44Are you about to start trouble?
40:47Don't you be mean to those nice people.
40:49Nice people, my ass.
40:51Okay.
40:51Martin, give it a rest.
40:53And by the way, and Sarah, it was Ludwig who hit you with the drone.
40:56Oh.
40:56Oh.
40:57Now I'm mad.
40:58Mm-hmm.
40:59And what are they doing with Glendon anyway?
41:04Oh, so you've been sightseeing, huh?
41:07Around the harbor, perhaps?
41:09Yes.
41:10Sorry.
41:11Oh, did you want to come with us?
41:12No.
41:12I want the people of Port Wynn to know the truth about our guests.
41:15What?
41:16That they're lovely people.
41:18Oh, that Sigrid's family owns a giant seafood conglomerate.
41:22And Ludwig here has been surveying our bay.
41:25Now, as a temporary town council member, I demand to know the real reason for your visit.
41:33A Nordic ocean-based salmon farm.
41:36One of the largest on the eastern seaboard.
41:39We will present our plans to the town, and we believe you will all be very happy with the proposition.
41:43A salmon farm in our beautiful bay?
41:46It might spoil the view, but it will be very profitable for you all.
41:50There might even be an uptick in tourism.
41:53Children love salmon farms.
41:54Hmm.
41:55But you still want to be our sister city.
41:58Why?
41:58They never wanted to be our sister city, did you?
42:00You wanted to be your business partner that's much more meaningful.
42:04Is it?
42:05I'm having a hard time following all this since I got hit in the head with your drone.
42:09And you?
42:10You've known about this all along, haven't you, Glendon?
42:12I knew the people of this town would be much more open to meeting a sister city delegation
42:16than a potential investor and developer.
42:18But they're still the same people you've come to know and love,
42:20and they're offering us all a great opportunity.
42:24So Martin has been right about this whole thing the entire time.
42:27You'll see.
