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