01:03we've never had so many visitors
01:09so
01:55There, uh, there's no cell reception on the island.
01:59Thanks.
02:01Can I help?
02:04No, I have a map. Thanks.
02:06Yeah, I made it. Warning, it's not to scale.
02:10I'm sorry. I'm the mayor. Um, my, my, my photo's on page four.
02:20Huh. Well, that's fun.
02:22Um, well, then you should probably know the map isn't the problem.
02:26It's your street signs.
02:28Unless this actually is Dickhole Street.
02:32It's, it's not. Um, where are you headed? Can I offer you a ride?
02:37Uh, all right. Just don't murder me.
02:45We got in last night, but we just went to bed.
02:49There was a time we would have picked Vegas, but these days, if that's where it's in a place like
02:53this, it's a little more our speed.
02:55Are you getting married?
02:57Me? No. No. Just a bridesmaid.
03:01Oh.
03:02We're staying at the inn.
03:04How, how's your stay?
03:06It's nice. It's quaint.
03:08Great?
03:09Yeah.
03:10Man, if I lived here, I would go to the beach with a coffee and a crossword every morning.
03:15Oh, well then you should go to the opening tour. I'm, I'm, I'm doing the inaugural swim.
03:20Uh, it's, it's just one of the island traditions.
03:23The mayor swims in the ocean every year to show that it's, it's safe from the island's history of ocean
03:30dangers.
03:33Interesting.
03:34Yeah. We're also hosting a, a sense of cocktails event after, um, I mean, if you and your friends are
03:40looking for some nightlife.
03:42Tonight, the girls were talking about going to Barnabas Tavern. It's supposed to be a dive bar.
03:47Yeah.
03:48Do you, do you go there?
03:50Yeah, sometimes.
03:53Well, maybe I'll see you there then.
03:56Yeah. Yeah. Maybe.
04:02Well, some of the cash businesses downtown are balking at the idea of the city sales tax.
04:07They said, um, actually they said, if you want this blood money, you got to come and get it yourself,
04:12which felt threatening.
04:14So, I don't know. I'm at a loss. What do you think, Tom?
04:20Yeah. Yeah. No.
04:22Of course.
04:23Yeah, that's great. Hey, um, are we getting the word out about the sunset cocktails? I, I just, I just
04:30feel like no one knows about it.
04:33I have personally been spreading the word and Rosemary's been passing out flyers all morning.
04:39Yeah, I think she's just been smoking outside. You really need to stay on top of this because I spoke
04:43to a woman, hadn't heard about any of it.
04:45What woman?
04:47Just a woman.
04:48Where did you speak to her?
04:49Uh, in my car.
04:50I don't understand.
04:52Well, she, uh, she was lost, so I offered her a ride because it seemed like the right thing to
04:56do.
04:57Of course. Excuse me.
04:58That's fine. Anyway, let's, uh, let's just make sure every accommodation has all the info.
05:04Restaurants, too. And, um, oh, I also want to talk about music.
05:07What music we're going to play when I walk from the platform to the ocean for the swim.
05:11Because I don't want that to be awkward.
05:12Was she attractive?
05:13I, I didn't notice one way or the other.
05:15How old was she?
05:16She was, she was age appropriate.
05:20What an odd way to describe someone who you were just giving a ride.
05:25Well, Patricia, as mayor, um, the safety of the residents of and visitors to our seaside village is my top
05:34priority.
05:35So if a woman is stranded and needs my help, yes, I'm going to offer it.
05:38Okay, so what is the age cut up? Because you once saw me with a flat tire and you kept
05:42on driving.
05:43No, I didn't see you.
05:44Ruth doesn't even have a car. She walks to work.
05:45Well, I thought you enjoyed the exercise.
05:49Uh, hey, Ruth, um, may I offer you a ride tonight?
05:53Oh, no. Thank you.
05:55Yeah.
05:56It's the mornings that are hard.
05:58Let's do it.
06:28They need in at least six settings.
06:34Hello.
06:37Hey.
06:40Am I catching you at a bad time?
06:42No.
06:44Where are you going?
06:46Meeting colleagues at the Barnabas.
06:50Colleagues?
06:51Yeah.
06:51Colleagues.
06:53Okay.
06:54Well, I'm going to be home.
06:56Right.
06:57Because you're grounded.
06:58Yeah, of course.
07:07Did you change Dickens Street to Dickhole Street?
07:11Somebody did that?
07:13That's horrible.
07:17Have a good time with your colleagues.
07:22Thanks.
07:30Thanks.
07:33Thanks.
07:36Thanks.
07:38Thanks.
07:41Thanks.
07:43Thanks.
07:46Thanks.
07:49Alright, let's go.
08:30Excuse me, ma'am?
08:36Miss?
08:37Do you need a ride?
08:47Miss?
08:49Miss?
08:53Miss?
08:59Miss?
09:01Miss?
09:01Miss?
09:05Miss?
09:08Miss?
09:09Miss?
09:18Hello?
09:19Miss?
09:22Miss?
09:25Miss?
09:26Miss?
09:33Miss?
09:34Miss?
09:35Miss?
09:35Miss?
09:35Miss?
09:35Miss?
09:36Miss?
09:37Miss?
09:37Miss?
09:38Miss?
09:54Miss?
10:01Miss?
10:02Set up a perimeter around the island.
10:04Island has a perimeter. It's called the ocean.
10:07Oh, okay. I don't know where your patient's is this morning,
10:10but did you write down she was fast?
10:12Yes.
10:15I, listen, I had...
10:23You sure this wasn't an animal that did this to you?
10:26No. Why? Does it look like an animal wound?
10:29Not to me.
10:30Then why would you...
10:33I can still swim in the ocean with this, right?
10:34Of course you can't.
10:37Isn't salt water good for wounds?
10:39Remind me, where did you get your M.D.?
10:41I'm not doing this with you again. I had to swim today. I have to go in the ocean.
10:44You did your residency with Dr. MacArthur, right?
10:47Stop, stop it. Stop it. I'm sorry.
10:49It's just everything's planned. People will be waiting.
10:58Free drinks and a sunset.
11:00Oh, Tom.
11:00What? What happened to your arm?
11:04Oh, I got scratched by an elderly woman.
11:08Was she in her 40s?
11:12You know what? I was trying to do something nice.
11:14I saw a woman walking alone late at night, and I offered her a ride, she scratched me, now I
11:19won't stop bleeding.
11:19Tom, you just missed a visitor, Marissa.
11:23Marissa.
11:24Marissa? She was here? What did she say?
11:28She asked if you were here, I said no.
11:30Oh, did she leave a number?
11:32No, about her. Oh, but she said...
11:42Ruth?
11:44Oh, she said, maybe she'd see you at a swim. There's one more word, just a minute. Oh, today.
11:56Thanks.
11:59I officially open views. I officially open views.
12:05Sounds like the sea hag.
12:08The what?
12:10The what?
12:10The scratch.
12:12Old fisherman's lore, you heard of it?
12:14No, because I can't keep track of the amount of bullshit this island spews.
12:18No, please don't settle in.
12:20Rosemary, whatever weird tale you're about to tell me, I don't want to know.
12:23Story goes, the hag targets lonely sailors and follows them home at night.
12:29She scratches you, and she gets some of your skin under her fingernails so she can track you down like
12:36a bloodhound.
12:37She's a trickster, waits until she's got you alone, got you weak.
12:56No, no, you can't have my water. I don't need to hear the rest of this. I don't have the
13:01time.
13:05Can't do anything right today.
13:27What's wrong?
13:29Apparently there's no way to get electricity to the beach.
13:33Why am I just hearing about this now?
13:36What?
13:37You know, this, this was Patricia. Where, where is she?
13:41Well, I think she's pretty caught up in her cocktail hour.
13:43But I radioed Garrett to have him hook us up to the marina electrical via converter and he's on the
13:47way.
13:49How fucking long is that gonna take?
13:58No rush, Garrett.
13:59Anytime.
14:05He's, he's, he's riding his bicycle.
14:09Jesus Christ.
14:10Oh, he stopped.
14:14Oh, no, no, no, no, no. Don't, don't. Don't. Oh, no. Oh, for fuck's sake.
14:26Don't bring the bike back.
14:43Hello, everyone.
14:46Hello, everyone.
14:50Hello.
14:51Sorry.
14:52I don't beat.
14:57It is my, it is my honor.
14:59I can hear it.
15:02Hello, everyone.
15:05As mayor, it is my honor to keep this tradition alive.
15:10I would like to welcome all our new friends joining us this year.
15:16So here's to a safe and spectacular summer.
15:20I officially open the ocean.
15:31Here we go.
15:37Here we go.
15:48Here we go.
15:49Here we go.
18:07Oh, Zenith. Cool.
18:10Are you going to tell me what the fuck you're doing in my house?
18:13I just thought I'd check in.
18:17Check in.
18:18Wellness check.
18:19Okay.
18:20Why don't you just tell me what finally made you able to ring my doorbell?
18:44Have you ever heard of a hag, specifically one that scratches you and then tracks you down?
18:55Every sailor knows the story of the hag.
19:04Oh, oh, oh.
19:10Let's say farewell to Ensign Trag.
19:16He went to shore and met the hag.
19:21With just one gash betrothed they be, she followed him on land and sea.
19:33For if you let her pierce your skin, betwixt her thighs, your final sin.
19:53I don't understand.
19:54I don't understand.
19:55How do you die?
19:56If she crawls into your bed and sits on your face?
20:03I can't believe I let you into my head again.
20:06Damn it.
20:07Wait, Tom.
20:08Tom!
20:09When did she get you?
20:13Doesn't matter.
20:15Find a chest.
20:16Lock yourself in it from the inside.
20:19A chest?
20:20Yeah.
20:21Her scratch paralyzes you.
20:23You'll get tired.
20:24By tonight, you won't be able to lift a finger.
20:27Now!
20:27You stay in there for 72 hours.
20:30Until the wound heals.
20:33Then she can't track you no more.
20:35Otherwise, she'll hunt you down.
20:56Okay, yeah, I'm all right.
20:57Yeah, I'm all right.
20:59How's it going?
21:08Hey, they're going to Sean's house to stay over.
21:15You're grounded.
21:16You're not even supposed to have friends here.
21:18Oh, yeah.
21:19Yeah.
21:20By the way, some lady named Marissa called and said that she's going to the Drisswood now if you're free.
21:29Whoa, who's a lucky lady, Mr. Lawson?
21:32She's a friend, PJ.
21:34Hey, I could go to Sean's house to just play a game with some friends or something, if you're out
21:41of the house.
21:43And you won't be going out until all hours?
21:46This is a sleepover party?
21:50Yes, it's a sleepover party.
21:52Yes.
21:54Okay.
21:57Okay.
21:57But please don't do that thing where you tell me you're staying at Sean's and then you tell Sean's parents
22:01you're staying here.
22:02Just stay at Sean's, all right?
22:03I'm trusting you.
22:05Yes, of course.
22:06We're honest with each other.
22:08Right?
22:09Okay.
22:15We're not going to be in the house.
22:17We're just going to be in the house.
22:17Thanks for that.
22:19No, no.
22:34I'm trusting you.
22:35No, no, no.
22:36No, no, no.
22:38No, no.
22:38No, no, no.
22:39No, no.
22:39No, no.
22:39No.
22:39No, no.
23:06I'm so sorry that our food is taking so long.
23:09Oh, my God. You hate this woman.
23:11No, no, I don't. I swear, I don't.
23:15But if I'd known Kathy was working the driftwoods tonight, I would have just canceled.
23:20Really? Not even a relocation?
23:22No, call it right off.
23:24I'm not a monster. No, I'm not.
23:27But I've been watching her read her paperback all night.
23:30Well, she deserves it.
23:34Thank you, Kathy.
23:39She's my best friend.
23:44You absolutely did not order that.
23:48Yeah, I ordered a sundae.
23:51I know you did.
23:52Wow.
23:54Wow.

25:16Help me, help me.
25:23Yes.
25:25How long ago did you separate?
25:29We didn't separate.
25:32She passed away.
25:34Oh, I'm so sorry.
25:37Long time ago.
25:41Complications from childbirth.
25:45Hey squad, how do you feel about dessert?
25:48Did you just give us a minute?
25:49Sure.
25:51I'm sorry.
25:52Oh, no, it's fine. It's fine.
25:54I mean, it's just been the two of us for the most part, and we've gotten by fine.
26:00I can't imagine what that must have been like all on your own, to just lose someone like that.
26:08That's awful.
26:15Oh, my God.
26:17What?
26:18I have sunset cocktails.
26:20Oh, do you have to go?
26:22Uh, well, I think my colleague Patricia would bring a gun to work if I didn't.
26:26Oh.
26:27I'm sorry.
26:30It's okay.
26:32Did you want to come?
26:37Um, is there somewhere else we could go?
26:41It's just, this is nice. I'd love to keep talking.
26:46Maybe we could go to your house.
26:56Oh.
26:58I'm sorry. Is that weird?
27:00I'm sorry.
27:02I'm sorry.
27:03I swear I don't usually invite myself over to a man's house.
27:06No, no, of course.
27:07Uh, it's just, um, tonight's not the best.
27:12Yeah.
27:13No, I get it.
27:20But yeah, no, no, nobody really ever leaves.
27:23Like, I know a man who has seen him for a sad years.
27:25I mean, can't we?
27:26Wait a second.

27:31No, no, no.
27:31I mean, I have.
27:32But yeah, these guys have never left the island.
