00:12She's been acting weird for months, stopped saying good morning, always saying over to
00:17her sisters.
00:18I even asked her to get dinner, and you know what she said?
00:21I think we're past that.
00:24And then one day I look over and I see my suitcase, packed, waiting by the door.
00:29By this point, I just about had it, I said, Elaine, it's over.
00:34Sounds like she had already ended it, ship.
00:38Nah, she's been playing her games.
00:43Say, what's your heading?
00:46I'm...
00:47I'm saying it's something.
00:50Lottie?
00:51Hey, Lottie.
01:11Oh!
01:13I'm gonna get out of here.
01:13Oh!
01:14Oh, my God!
01:14Oh, my God.
01:54Oh, my God.
02:16Oh, my God.
02:44Oh, my God.
02:46Oh, my God.
02:54Oh, my God.
02:55Oh, my God.
02:56Oh, my God.
02:56Oh, my God.
02:58Oh, my God.
03:02Oh, my God.
03:13Oh, my God.
03:17Oh, my God.
03:52Oh, my God.
04:13Jesus Christ.
04:14This guy says he's a quarter Cherokee.
04:15I ran his genealogy.
04:17Did you talk to Mitch?
04:18Do you have any updates on the outages?
04:21He said the South Point should be back up any time now.
04:24That was half hour ago.
04:26Great. Thank you.
04:27But you better talk to Wayne.
04:29He says he's shutting down the restaurant for the rest of the day.
04:32Hey, Ruth, give me five minutes and get me Wayne at the Salty Wheel.
04:45Wayne.
05:07God damn, God damn, God, God damn, you're a god damn New York Times.
05:08Okay, man, I'm not a janŠ»ŃÄek.
05:21I'm not aitan control plant.
05:22You're a member of the U.S.
05:26That's what I'm saying.
05:27big if right now. You shouldn't assume the writer is a man. The editor said a man was
05:31coming. Well, that's fine then. It would run before booking season. God, I wish these people
05:36would understand what summer tourism would do for us. I think the quake has people on
05:44edge. Look, there was a quake in New York City last year. All right, Patricia, not today.
05:57And I mean it, okay? We have to show this man a good time. What are you asking me to
06:03do, Tom? What do you think I'm asking you to do? Well, I didn't know. Oh. Your Rotary
06:11Club lunch was moved to Monday. Great. Whit Crawford called twice. The sheriff called
06:19also twice. Yes. What else is... What else is... That's it. Great. Thank you.
06:37Sheriff's officer. This is Tom.
06:39Shep Clark is missing.
06:40Oh, who's looking?
06:42Why are you the man in this town if you hate everyone so much?
06:44And let one of them be in charge? Try the Barnabas.
06:46I called them before I called you. Harbormaster said he had him on the VHF
06:51and lost him. Disappeared. Said there's a heavy fog settling down
06:55offshore, and he wants to issue a cancellation of operations until it clears.
06:59This year? We get fog 360 days a year. He cannot close the port, not today.
07:04Yeah, but he says this doesn't seem like the usual fog.
07:07Why is he 11 a.m. already here? Not in my job to know that, buddy.
07:20Hey, Lee, uh, you're not scheduled to come in for another 30 minutes.
07:23Why don't we get ahead of the fog?
07:24What? So we're just winging the schedule now?
07:26Don't shit your diaper. I sent your writer to wait for you.
07:29Oh, my God. He made it?
07:30Oh, my God. Okay, thank you.
07:32Thank you. I'm sorry. Wait, wait, wait. Where'd you send him?
07:35The Historical Society.
07:42You know, the economy was totally dependent on the wailing,
07:45which means that all the men would go out.
07:47They'd be gone for years sometimes.
07:50So it was, it could be very lonely.
07:52And you find this warm patch of wood in front of the women's homes
07:57from the wives, pacing back and forth,
08:01waiting for their men to come home.
08:04Yeah. Most would not.
08:06They should have checked the bars.
08:08I'm Tom Loftus.
08:10Oh, nice to meet you, Arthur.
08:11Yeah, I would have met you at the dock.
08:13I had a ferry left early. I'm glad I was there.
08:15And I am so sorry about that.
08:17So, you want to grab some coffee?
08:19No, I'm good. Jerry was just taking me through some of your history.
08:22Oh, that's great. Yes, well, remarkable story.
08:2542 passengers from the mainland embarked by sea to find a settlement.
08:29They could call their own.
08:31Yeah, now the 43 passengers in...
08:33I think it's a little early for that story, Jerry,
08:35but imagine arriving in an untamed wilderness, blank canvas, totally empty island.
08:41Except for the team.
08:42Yeah. The point I'm trying to make is that there were no people here.
08:45You know, they had to build everything from scratch during what is still believed to be the harshest winter
08:49in Widows Bay history.
08:52And all thanks to this remarkable leader, Richard Warren, our first mayor.
08:56I can't even get my system to stay past two.
08:59You know what? I was just about to show Arthur the witch trial.
09:06Great source of pride. We caught him. We burned him.
09:09You know what? You know what, Jerry?
09:10Jerry, I'm going to take it from here.
09:12Thank you, though.
09:13Oh, okay.
09:14Yeah, okay.
09:18Well, I hope you like local color, Arthur, because we've got a lot of it.
09:24I was talking to the guy on the ferry, and he said something odd.
09:28What was that?
09:29He said bad things happen here.
09:33You know, Arthur, there is something about these seafaring towns, the superstitions, their tall tales.
09:41Maybe it's that stories help pass a long day at sea. I don't know.
09:43But I find it charming myself.
09:45Was there cannibalism?
09:46No.
09:48Well, the article behind you.
09:50Forced inside the church, they immediately turned to cannibalism.
09:54I don't think that's right.
09:55I mean, it's not a framed article inside the historical society.
09:58Yeah.
10:00You know, these stories get so exaggerated over time.
10:03I mean, look, was there a deadly storm in 1786?
10:08Yes.
10:09Did a group of people get trapped inside a church?
10:12Apparently so.
10:13Did they immediately turn to cannibalism?
10:18No, that took four days.
10:20So there was cannibalism.
10:21What I'd ask you in return, Arthur, is what town doesn't have a checkered past?
10:26You know, if we go back far enough in our country's timeline.
10:30Right?
10:31The best way to learn about this island is to step outside and see it for yourself.
10:35So follow me.
10:38I swear, I have been having the hardest time getting reception.
10:43Oh, and you will welcome the peace and quiet.
10:45But we do have plenty of landlines.
10:50Oh.
10:52So, I have marked all of my favorite spots on the island.
10:56But you should definitely check out the lighthouse.
10:58Second oldest in America.
10:59Okay.
11:00And I will meet you here for dinner.
11:03Salty Whale, 7 p.m.
11:04Best lobster in America.
11:06That's a bold claim, Tom.
11:07It's better than the lobster pot on Cape Cod.
11:09Oh.
11:11Fuck Cape Cod.
11:13Okay.
11:15I said it.
11:16I can report that, yes?
11:17I can put that in my face.
11:19Fuck Cape Cod.
11:20Yeah.
11:20Meet 7.
11:23I can't believe that.
11:25Tom, we just learned rosemary's colorblind.
11:27My whole life.
11:28Oh, okay.
11:29I didn't know that.
11:29Basically, what you see is blue.
11:31I see is blue-green.
11:32Okay.
11:33So, I want to move quickly here.
11:37Where is Ruth?
11:38She went home to take a nap.
11:40It's 11 a.m.
11:42She's an elderly woman, Tom.
11:43Oh, I'm aware of that.
11:44I just don't think it's unreasonable to ask an assistant to work more than two hours in a day.
11:47You know what?
11:48Forget it.
11:50So, this guy is going to be in town for 24 hours.
11:52Did you tell him about my paintings?
11:54No.
11:54Now, Jerry's already been, well, filling his ear with all kinds of nonsense.
11:57So, I just want eyes on him the whole time.
12:00Dale, as we discussed tomorrow, just follow the itinerary, all right?
12:04Hills Beach, Arter Point, Seated Rye, and Cobble Pond.
12:07That's it.
12:07Keep it light.
12:08So, I guess you don't want me to take him to the old hospital?
12:11No, I don't, Dale.
12:12And I think you knew that.
12:13It's perfectly safe to drive by the old hospital.
12:16He just can't stop.
12:17Okay.
12:19Our peaceful little island town is a place for tourists to come with their families and relax.
12:25Right?
12:26That's it.
12:27That's all.
12:27Tell that to Shep Clark.
12:33Oh, this is a closed meeting, Wick.
12:36Shut it down.
12:37Shut it all down.
12:39It's starting.
12:40You're goddamn right it is.
12:42No, it is not starting because there is no it.
12:45Wick, did something happen to Shep?
12:47Fog took him.
12:48No, the fog did not take him.
12:49Because we all know that Shep is sleeping it off somewhere.
12:52The problem with that is Shep could drink it three weeks ago.
12:54Well, I can think of a couple of other explanations I could go to before jumping to the fog took
12:58him.
12:59Close the port.
13:00Shut up the businesses.
13:02Sound the siren.
13:03Oh, do you mean the siren from the 1940s?
13:06You're out of your mind, Wick.
13:07You refuse to accept our history, to accept the truth.
13:10And I've lived with that for years, but now it's going to get people killed.
13:13I have actually accepted the truth, but do you know what the truth looks like?
13:18It looks like this.
13:19It looks like an outdated power grid.
13:20It looks like roads that need repairing.
13:22It looks like no Wi-Fi in the 21st fucking century.
13:25And certainly no money to pay for it all.
13:27The only thing that's going to get people killed here is the lack of infrastructure.
13:30Well, that's because the island has lain dormant, but she's waking up.
13:34And that's when bad things happen.
13:36You think the fog out there is natural?
13:38No, it ain't natural.
13:39It already took Shep and it'll take the rest of us tonight.
13:43It's a haunt.
13:50I didn't realize it was a haunt.
13:52I'm sorry.
13:54Could you remind me again?
13:56A haunt is worse than a spook, but not as bad as a fright.
14:00Oh, equal to a scare, right?
14:01You can mock me all you like.
14:03The island's cursed, Tom.
14:11Do you know what I think?
14:14I think there are some people who want to be miserable.
14:17Oh.
14:17And then they blame it all on a cursed island.
14:21I refuse.
14:22And I refuse to let you take this town down with you.
14:31Claire's office.
14:33Sound the siren, Tom.
14:35This is Patricia.
14:36If you don't, I will.
14:38It's the sheriff's office.
14:43This is Tom.
14:46That's great news.
14:49They just found Shep.
14:51Oh, okay.
14:53Yeah.
14:54Hang on.
14:55I'm going to take this call in my office.
15:08What do you know?
15:09I know you didn't just lie to a bunch of people telling them I found this man.
15:12Look, you know how they get.
15:13They overreact.
15:14Look, I bought us time.
15:15Well, I hope you bought a lot.
15:17Because I can't find it.
15:17He'll turn up.
15:19You know, buddy, I'm on my last legs.
15:22I already got a deal with a bunch of teenagers running rampant around here all times of night.
15:26And I can be more specific, if you like.
15:31Hey, uh, I'm going to run out for a bit.
15:35They haven't found him, have they?
15:39It doesn't mean a fucking fog took him.
15:42Should we be worried?
15:45Come on.
15:47Not you two.
15:47You sound like one of them.
15:51Tom, do you remember the book you mean?
15:54Yeah, I probably already told you about that time in high school when I was home alone the night he
16:00came.
16:05I think you did tell me that story.
16:07Oh, okay.
16:10God forbid you hear it again.
16:12It's only the most terrifying thing that's ever happened to me.
16:15Well, you asked me if I heard it before.
16:16I still sleep with the dresser in front of my door.
16:18But he murdered teenage girls.
16:20You're in your 40s, you'll be fine.
16:24What?
16:26Why is that more upsetting?
16:28Why?
16:41Why is that more upsetting?
16:44Evan?
16:47I got you a tuna melt from the Driftwood.
17:09Do you know what this is?
17:10I was trying to figure it out.
17:13Get inside.
17:14Okay.
17:15Okay.
17:15Okay.
17:16Okay.
17:21Oh, no, no, no, no.
17:22We're going to have a talk.
17:25I got to go to Pete's house to study.
17:28So, sit down.
17:36Oh, my God.
17:41I don't know what to say.
17:43I mean, I just don't know how to get through to you.
17:45And you cannot keep sneaking out at night.
17:48Do I have to put bars on the windows?
17:50No.
17:58Do you know where you get that adventure spirit?
18:02Your mother.
18:04God, she used to make me laugh.
18:07Some people say they knew they were the one the moment they laid eyes on them.
18:11I heard her laugh first, and I knew.
18:15Thank God she was good looking.
18:21Yeah, she had no interest in dating me.
18:25That took persistence on my part.
18:27But four months later, we were married.
18:29And, yes, it's no secret she was already pregnant with you.
18:40What I'm trying to tell you, Evan, is you were the best surprise of my life.
18:46And I just want to keep you safe.
18:53You do know the withdrawal method doesn't work, right?
18:56Oh, my God.
18:56Okay, I'm sorry.
18:57No, no, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
19:00Why can't you just keep normal hours?
19:03Because there's nothing to do during normal hours.
19:05Okay, this island is like a prison.
19:08Things are going to change, I promise.
19:11They are going to change, I promise.
19:13Okay.
19:24Motherfucker.
19:45No, no, no, you've got to do what I say.
19:46You have no right.
19:47I have every god damn right.
19:48Shut it down.
19:49Shut it down right now.
19:50Now you keep it going, Ryan.
19:51God damn it, Rick.
19:53Please just give me a couple hours.
19:54We don't have that kind of time.
19:56You lied about ship and now the fog's coming.
19:58All right, let's just talk it through, all right?
19:59We just shut it down and we will talk this through.
20:01Yeah, so you can mock me.
20:02Wick, I will listen to you for five minutes uninterrupted.
20:05I give you my word.
20:07Please.
20:13Five minutes, and I don't want you correcting my grammar.
20:16I don't have time to sit here and go tit for tit with you.
20:21Now, I don't have all the information, because this town has its secrets, but there's something
20:28rotten here.
20:29Now, it all starts with the quake.
20:32It means she's waking up, and that's when the terror starts.
20:38Here.
20:411846.
20:42They called it the fog that stole souls.
20:46Stage one.
20:47The eyes turn white.
20:49Stage two.
20:50Loss of the five senses and delirium.
20:53Stage three.
20:54Loss of erection.
20:56Stage four.
20:56Who the hell is trying after stage two?
20:59Or.
21:00Or.
21:02Maybe we're paid a visit by the revenants of doomed sailors.
21:07What's a revenant?
21:09Like a zombie.
21:11I don't know.
21:11Yeah.
21:131873.
21:14The SS Mary and its crew have been listened for 62 years.
21:18The mayor, at the time, shuttered the lighthouse to confound the ship, causing it to crash against
21:24the rocks.
21:26Seems he coveted the captain's young bride.
21:29How young?
21:3116, I believe.
21:32How old was he?
21:3453.
21:36Well, she loved him.
21:38How can you possibly know that?
21:39Oh, is an old man worthy of love?
21:43Are the older women dead in this scenario?
21:46I don't follow.
21:47I think an older man falling in love with a young woman is sometimes okay as a one-off.
21:53It's when they start hitting on their young friends after a breakup.
21:56That really crosses the line.
21:57Oh, I agree.
21:58Have you both lost your fucking minds?
22:01Are you fucking kidding me?
22:03I don't even know what you're talking about.
22:04What the fuck is happening?
22:05Yeah, okay.
22:06Wick, I got the New York Times to send a report.
22:10Do you have any idea what good write-up would do for us?
22:13This place is dying.
22:15Wick, we could be the next Bar Harbor.
22:17Ooh, fancy.
22:21Why won't you let me lead this town?
22:23I swear, this is personal.
22:25It is personal.
22:26I don't think you can lead.
22:29Will you be able to forgive yourself if you're wrong and you have ruined this town's chance?
22:32Will you be able to forgive yourself if I'm right?
22:36You cannot stand someone else being in charge, can you?
22:40Nah.
22:42I just know people.
22:43Wick, I have done nothing to deserve this lack of trust.
22:49You remember when you and your little buddies used to take turns doorbell ditch in my house during your little
22:57summer visits?
23:00That is what this is about?
23:04Oh, for fuck's sake.
23:06Wick, I look.
23:07Okay, I am sorry.
23:08I doorbell ditched your house when I was 11.
23:11Please do not destroy the fucking town over it.
23:13You never actually did it, did you?
23:18What?
23:18No, sir.
23:19I was watching.
23:21I'd see you sneak up to my door and pretend to ring the doorbell.
23:26Then you'd run back to impress the local kids laughing and take all the glory.
23:32And that's how I know you're not a leader, because you've always been a goddamn coward.
23:55It's Jeff Locke.
23:57He's breathing.
24:00He's in stable condition, but not critical.
24:04But we've had to sedate him because he suffered a nasty fall, and we're going to keep him under to
24:09let the swelling in his head go down.
24:12So how bad is it?
24:15We'll know more in the morning, but I'm not worried.
24:20I'm giving him enough propofol to knock out a horse.
24:24Of course, I probably shouldn't tell any of you that, but where do you draw the line?
24:31I mean, like, of course no one asked what I thought, but what else is new?
24:39Anyway, I learned my biological age is 28.
24:46I heard it helps if you speak with him.
24:49I think that's Comus.
24:53I apologize for wasting his time.
24:55Oh, come on.
24:57I'm just going to go back to the office and shut my door so we don't bother anyone.
25:16Caused a real ruckus today, Shep.
25:45That doesn't seem right.
26:05I'm just going to go back to the office and shut my door.
26:10I can't wait.
26:10I can't wait.
26:10I can't wait.
26:10I can't wait.
26:11I can't wait.
26:12Shep?
26:13Shep.
26:16Hey, Shep.
26:20What are you saying?
26:25What was that?
26:26What was that?
26:32What was that?
26:37Hey, Shep.
26:40Hey, Shep.
26:43Hey, Shep.
26:46Hey, Shep.
27:14Hey, Shep.
27:16Hey, Shep.
27:17Hey, Shep.
27:18No boss.
27:19Can I grasp that?
27:21Yes.
27:26No!
27:29No!
27:31No!
27:35No!
27:38No!
27:40No!
27:42No!
27:44No!
27:49No!
27:50Loftus, did you do the autopsy?
27:53No.
27:54That won't be until tomorrow.
27:58Well, it's just when I saw him, something didn't feel right.
28:04Well, he died, Tom.
28:06I understand that.
28:08Before he died, you didn't notice anything out of the ordinary, did you?
28:12What are you asking me here, Tom?
28:15I don't know.
28:17I don't.
28:19Tom!
28:19Your dinner!
28:20Jesus Christ, Patricia!
28:21I'm so sorry you gotta go.
28:22Tom, your dinner.
28:23I know.
28:24If you leave now, you'll be 50 minutes late.
28:26I'm going.
28:36Tom!
28:37I'm...
28:37I'm...
28:38I'm...
28:38I'm going.
28:39I'm going.
28:45I'm going.
28:47Tom, you can do that later.
28:48Would you just...
28:49Can I...
28:59Tom?
29:00We...
29:00We...
29:00We wasted a lot of time today.
29:02You can't...
29:02Can't let these people get in your head, Patricia.
29:04You can't let fear...
29:06Win.
29:09I know that, Tom.
29:13Oh, fucking shit.
29:15Fuck.
29:17Fuck.
29:17Fuck.
29:19Fuck.
29:48I'm sorry.
29:49I was just...
29:49Oh, I'm a little distracted.
29:50Yes, I am good.
29:53Damn it, Kathy, that's not water.
29:58I am so sorry.
29:59What were you saying?
30:01I was actually saying how much I love the island.
30:06You're kidding.
30:06No.
30:07I honestly don't understand why this place isn't Martha's Vineyard.
30:14Oh, Martha's Vineyard.
30:18Yeah.
30:19Wow.
30:20You know, I thought maybe Bar Harbor, but wow, Arthur, I can't tell you how long I've waited
30:27to hear that.
30:29Table three wants to know where their order is.
30:32Right there.
30:33All right.
30:34Well, hold on.
30:37Oh, look at that fog.
30:41I wanted to ask you something, though.
30:43Anything at all.
30:44Did you know that there's people on this island who think that if you're born here, you can't
30:49leave?
30:51Old wives' tale.
30:52I was talking to a guy over at the Driftwood Diner, and he said he has never set foot on
30:56the mainland.
30:57Sixty years old.
30:59Well, there's a reason why the Driftwood wasn't on your list.
31:02Well, he claims his cousin went to the mainland and died of a heart attack a month later.
31:06He also told me about a woman, uh, what is her?
31:10Marsha Dogan.
31:11Died of a stroke eight years ago, a day after she stepped on the mainland.
31:16I checked it.
31:16I checked it, it's true.
31:17I go to the mainland all the time.
31:22And were you born here, though?
31:25No.
31:27Huh.
31:27What about your son?
31:29Born and raised.
31:33Of course, yes, he's been to the mainland.
31:39I mean, obviously, it's not true.
31:42Obviously.
31:42But I am fascinated by how powerful superstitions are here.
31:47It's remarkable.
31:49Anyway, I think your summer tourism season could be huge.
31:52I really do.
31:52And I think that the focus of my article is shaping, but it's feeling like the people, you know.
31:58Or the other thing is, maybe it's how lack of modern abilities is.
32:08And I'm going to write something.
32:09I have to make a quick phone call.
32:14Heaven, you better be home.
32:18Come on, come on.
32:29Okay, hey, hey, everyone.
32:32You know what?
32:33We're just going to stay put.
32:35It's not safe to drive in this, especially after a couple of drinks.
32:38So just to check the breakers.
32:42You know, hold on for one minute.
32:45Wayne, hey, Wayne, hang on for one second, okay?
32:49I don't think going outside is a problem.
32:51Hey, guys, you know what?
32:52Why don't we just hold on for a second because it's so pretty thick out there.
32:56If I wanted to sit in the dark, I can do that at home.
32:57Yeah, I know.
32:58It's just, look, let's just all sit tight together because I can't have people driving.
33:01I know how to drive in the fog loft.
33:04I know, I know.
33:04Hey, what's going on?
33:05Is something wrong?
33:06No, no, of course not.
33:07Um, I got to get home.
33:08Hey, just hold on.
33:09Just hold on.
33:10Hey, hold on.
33:12Hey, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
33:15There's something in the fog.
33:19There's something in the fog.
33:21There's something in the fog.
33:22There's something in the fog.
33:23What the fuck is lifting, Tom?
33:27Let's go.
33:30Let's go.
33:35I see what's going on here.
33:38You don't want to be Nantucket, you want to be Salem.
33:46It's a nice town.
33:48You don't need the gimmick.
34:13Well, you can lock up for me.
34:15Least you can do.
34:16You don't need the gimmick.
34:17I see.
34:20I see.
34:34You don't need the gimmick.
34:37Well, you can do it.
34:41I see.
34:43I see.
34:46You don't need the gimmick.
35:04Jesus Christ, Kathy!
35:06The check.
35:08Hey, I didn't order any of this.
35:10Take it up with Wayne.
35:14Fuck.
35:24There's something in the log.
35:32God damn it.
35:36Ridiculous.
35:39Ridiculous.
35:46Ridiculous.
35:52Ridiculous.
35:57Ridiculous.
36:00Ridiculous.
36:01Ridiculous.
36:03Ridiculous.
36:05Ridiculous.
36:05Ridiculous.
36:06Ridiculous.
36:06Ridiculous.
36:21I'll see you next time.
