01:48map, thanks. Yeah, I made it. Warning, it's not to scale. I'm sorry, I'm the mayor. My
01:56photo's on page four. Huh. Well, that's fun. Then you should probably know the map isn't
02:07the problem. It's your street signs. Unless this actually is Dickol Street. It's not.
02:15Um, where are you headed? Can I offer you a ride? Uh, all right, just don't murder me.
02:27We got in last night, but we just went to bed. There was a time we would have picked
02:31Vegas, but these days a bachelorette in a place like this is a little more our speed.
02:36You getting married? Me, no. No, just a bridesmaid. Oh. We're staying at the inn.
02:45How's your stay? It's nice. Sweet. Great. Yeah. Man, if I lived here, I would go to the
02:52beach with a coffee and a crossword every morning. Oh, well, then you should go to the
02:56opening tour. I'm doing the inaugural swim. It's just one of the island traditions. The
03:03mayor swims in the ocean every year to show that it's safe from the island's history of
03:09ocean dangers. Interesting. Yeah. We're also hosting a sense of cocktails event after. I
03:18mean, if you and your friends are looking for some nightlife. Tonight, the girls were talking
03:22about going to Barnabas Tavern. Supposed to be a dive bar? Yeah. Do you go there? Yeah, sometimes.
03:31Well, maybe I'll see you there, though. Yeah. Yeah. Maybe.
03:40While some of the cash businesses downtown are balking at the idea of the city sales tax,
03:45they said, um, actually, they said, if you want this blood money, you got to come and get
03:49it yourself, which felt threatening. So, I don't know. I'm at a loss. What do you think,
03:53Tom? Yeah. Yeah. No. Of course. Yeah, that's great. Hey, um, are we getting the word out about
04:04the sunset cocktails? I just feel like no one knows about it. I have personally been spreading
04:11the word, and Rosemary's been passing out flyers all morning. Yeah, I think she's just been smoking
04:16outside. You really need to stay on top of this, because I spoke to a woman who hadn't heard about
04:20any of it. What woman? Just a woman. Where did you speak to her? Uh, in my car. I don't
04:26understand.
04:27Well, she, uh, she was lost, so I offered her a ride, because it seemed like the right thing to
04:31do.
04:32Of course. Excuse me. That's fine. Anyway, let's, uh, let's just make sure every accommodation has
04:37all the info. Restaurants, too. And, um, oh, I also want to talk about music. What music we're going to
04:43play when I walk from the platform to the ocean for the swim, because I don't want that to be
04:46awkward.
04:47We should attract it. I didn't notice one way or the other.
04:50How old was she? She was, she was age-appropriate.
04:54What an odd way to describe someone who you were just giving a ride.
04:59Well, Patricia, as mayor, um, the safety of the residents of, and visitors to, our seaside village
05:07is my top priority. So if a woman is stranded and needs my help, yes, I'm going to offer it.
05:11Okay, so what is the age cut off? Because you once saw me with a flat tire, and you kept
05:15on driving.
05:16No, I didn't see you. Ruth doesn't even have a car. She 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.
05:41It's the only place is looking for Detroit.
05:44Nobody else.
05:45It's one cost.
05:46They're trying to minimize the damage.
05:48Detroit is doing the first.
05:51And now Boston's in another jam here.
05:53It's the time of the Detroit order coming out of the corner.
06:06Oh, hey, I'm catching a bad time, no, we're going meeting colleagues at the Barnabas colleagues.
06:21Yeah.
06:21Colleagues.
06:23Okay.
06:24Well, I'm going to be home.
06:26Right.
06:27Because you're grounded.
06:28Yeah, of course.
06:36Did you change Dickens Street to Dickhole Street?
06:40Somebody did that?
06:42That's horrible.
06:46Have a good time with your colleagues.
06:50Thanks.
06:53Thanks.
07:00Thanks.
07:04Thanks.
07:06Okay.
07:13Okay.
07:16Thanks.
07:18You're listening to me.
07:21Let's go.
07:22Oh, man.
07:55Excuse me, ma'am.
08:00Miss?
08:02Do you need a ride?
08:12Miss?
08:23Hello?
08:25Hello?
08:29Hello?
08:42Thank you, thank you, thank you.
08:45So crazy.
08:47Thank you, thank you.
08:55Help!
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.
09:21Yes.
09:22And set up a perimeter around the island.
09:24The island has a perimeter.
09:26It's called the ocean.
09:28Oh, okay.
09:29I don't know where your patient is this morning, but did you write down she was fast?
09:33Yes.
09:34Ahem.
09:35I...
09:36Listen, I have...
09:42You sure this wasn't an animal that did this to you?
09:45No.
09:46What?
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.
09:58Where did you get your MD?
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. MacArthur.
10:06Stop!
10:06Stop it!
10:07Stop it!
10:07I'm sorry.
10:08It's just everything's planned.
10:09People will be waiting.
10:17Oh, Tom!
10:18What?
10:19What happened to your arm?
10:21Oh, I...
10:22I got scratched by an elderly... woman.
10:26Was she in her forties?
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.
10:36Now I won't stop leaving.
10:36Tom, you just missed a visitor.
10:38Mercer.
10:39Uh...
10:39Oh, uh...
10:41Marissa?
10:42She was here?
10:42What did she say?
10:44Uh, she asked if you were here.
10:46I said no.
10:47Oh, did she leave a number?
10:48No.
10:49But, uh...
10:50Oh, but she said...
10:58Oh, she said...
11:01Uh, maybe she'd see you at, uh...
11:05Swim.
11:06There's one more word.
11:07Just a minute.
11:09Oh, today.
11:12Thanks.
11:14I officially opened you.
11:16I officially opened you.
11:20Sounds like the sea hag.
11:23The what?
11:24The 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.
11:52She's a trickster.
11:53Waits until she's got you alone.
11:55Got 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?
12:48No, this was Patricia.
12:50Where is she?
12:51Well, I think she's pretty caught up in her 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.
13:24Don't, don't.
13:25Don't.
13:27Oh, no.
13:30Oh, for fuck's sake.
13:34Don't bring the bike back.
13:52Hello, everyone.
13:55Hello.
13:56Oh, yeah, you're good.
13:57Hello.
13:58Sorry.
13:59I don't need to.
14:00I don't need to.
14:01I don't need to.
14:01I don't need to.
14:02I don't need to.
14:03I don't need to.
14:03I don't need to.
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.
