00:06and the once uninhabited island 42 nautical miles from the coast of colonial new england
00:11came to be known as widow's bay now home to over 3 000 residents a town comprised of fishermen
00:20families and friends all thanks to one man thank you for joining us for richard warren's journey
00:27from humble tradesmen to the first reeve prime and lord island protector an office the town now

00:48and here's richard the widower with his his adoring second wife sarah warren
00:54she's seen here preparing the evening meal we also have her journal so where are you all from
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.
06:10It's the only way to do it.
06:12Nobody out.
06:13One of us is trying to minimize the damage.
06:17Detroit is going to win the first.
06:20And now Boston's in another jam here.
06:22It's time for the Detroit order coming out of the fourth.
06:25Okay.
06:28They need in at least six settings.
06:30Now Boston's in a moment.
06:32Now they might have to fall in.
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.
07:06Did you change Dickens Street to Dickhole Street?
07:11Somebody did that?
07:13That's horrible.
07:17Have a good time with your colleagues.
07:19I'm going to be home.
07:19Thanks.
07:21Thanks.
07:22Thanks.
07:23Thanks.
07:24Thanks.
07:25Thanks.
07:27Thanks.
07:29Thanks.
07:30Thanks.
07:33Thanks.
07:35Thanks.
07:36Thanks.
07:36Thanks.
07:38Thanks.
07:39Thanks.
07:41Thanks.
07:43Thanks.
07:46Let's go.
08:30Excuse me, ma'am?
08:36Miss?
08:38Do you need a ride?
08:47Miss?
08:59Hello?
09:01Hello?
09:01Hello?
09:05Hello?
09:08Hello?
09:10Hello?
09:23Hello?
09:24Hello?
09:26Hello?
09:33Hello?
09:34Hello?
09:35Hello?
09:44Hello?
09:52Did you write that down?
09:53Uh-huh.
09:54Love it.
09:55She's probably a homeless woman who got a free ride on the ferry,
09:57but you should call the mental hospitals on the mainland, you know, just in case.
10:01And set 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 patience 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. McCarthy, right?
10:47Stop. Stop it. Stop it. I'm sorry.
10:49It's just everything's planned. People will be waiting.
10:57Free drinks and a sunset.
11:00Oh, Tom.
11:00What?
11:01What happened to your arm?
11:03Oh, I... 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.
11:16And I offered her a ride. She scratched me. Now I won't stop bleeding.
11:19Tom, you just missed a visitor. Marissa.
11:23Uh... Oh, Marissa? She was here? What did she say?
11:27Uh, she 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...
11:45Yeah.
11:46Uh, maybe she'd see you at the...
11:50swim... There's one more word. Just a minute.
11:53Oh, today.
11:56Thanks.
11:59I officially opened views. I officially opened views.
12:05Sounds like the sea hag.
12:08The 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
12:34so she can track you down like a bloodhound.
12:37She's a trickster.
12:39Waits until she's got you alone.
12:42Got you weak.
12:56No, no, you can't have my water.
12:58I don't need to hear the rest of this.
13:00I don't have the time.
13:05Can't do anything right today.
13:26What'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 was Patricia's...
13:39Where 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,
13:47and he's on the way.
13:49How fucking long is that going to take?
13:58No rush, Garrett.
13:59Anytime.
14:06He's riding his bicycle.
14:09Jesus Christ.
14:10Oh, he stopped.
14:14Oh, no, no, no, no.
14:15Don't, don't.
14:16Don't.
14:18Oh, no.
14:22Oh, for fuck's sake.
14:26Don't bring the bike back!
14:45Hello, everyone.
14:47Hello.
14:56It is my honor to...
14:59I can hear it.
15:01Hello, 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.
15:19I officially open the ocean.
15:31Here we go.
15:37Here we go.
17:15Hey, it's all right, buddy.
18:07Oh, Zenith.
18:08Cool.
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?
18:47Have you ever heard of a hag?
18:56Knows the story of the hag?
19:10Let's say farewell to Ensign Trag.
19:14He went to shore and met the hag.
19:22With 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.
19:54How do you die?
19:56She 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!
20:10When 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.
20:30Till the wound heals.
20:33Then she can't track you no more.
20:35Otherwise, she'll hunt you down.
20:50I'm not sure.
20:56I'm not sure.
20:57I'm not sure.
20:58I'm not sure.
21:01I'm not sure.
21:06I'm not sure.
21:08Hello, Gil. PJ.
21:10What's up?
21:11Hey, they're going to Sean's house to stay over.
21:15You're grounded. You're not even supposed to have friends here.
21:18Oh, yeah. Yeah.
21:20By the way, some lady named Marissa called and said that she's going to the Driftwood now if you're free.
21:29Whoa, who's a lucky lady, Mr. Walker?
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? This is a sleepover party?
21:50Yes, it's a sleepover party. Yes.
21:54Okay. Okay.
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 Sean's, all right? I'm trusting you.
22:04Yes, of course. We're honest with each other.
22:08Right?
