01:49Yeah, I made it.
01:51Warning, it's not to scale.
01:53I'm sorry.
01:54I'm the mayor.
01:56My photo's on page four.
02:01Huh.
02:03Well, that's fun.
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?
02:18Can I offer you a ride?
02:19Uh, all right.
02:22Just 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.
02:37You getting married?
02:38Me? No.
02:40No.
02:41Just a bridesmaid.
02:42Oh.
02:42We're staying at the inn.
02:45How's your stay?
02:47It's nice.
02:48Sweet.
02:48Great.
02:49Yeah.
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.
03:03The mayor swims in the ocean every year to show that it's safe from the island's history of ocean dangers.
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.
03:24It'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've 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, because I
04:46don't want that to be awkward.
04:47Was she attractive?
04:48I didn't notice one way or the other.
04:50How old was she?
04:50She 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 cut off?
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.
05:22Hey, Ruth, may I offer you a ride tonight?
05:26Oh, no.
05:27Yeah.
05:28It's the mornings that are hard.
05:42It's the mornings that are hard.
05:53It's the mornings that are hard.
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.
06:36Did 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.
06:53Yeah.
07:04Okay.
07:11Okay.
07:13Oh, my God.
07:55Excuse me, ma'am?
08:01Miss?
08:02Do you need a ride?
08:12Miss?
08:23Hello?
08:24Hello?
08:55Hello?
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.
09:24The 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.
09:35Listen, 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?
09:53Of 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.
10:13You should work for sunset cocktails.
10:16Free drinks and a sunset.
10:18Oh, Tom!
10:18What?
10:19What happened to your arm?
10:21Oh, I 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.
10:38Marissa.
10:39Uh...
10:40Oh, Marissa?
10:41She was here?
10:42What did she say?
10:44Uh, she asked if you were here.
10:46I said no.
10:46Oh, did she leave a number?
10:49No.
10:49About...
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.
11:10Today.
11:11Thanks.
11:14I officially opened the doors.
11:16I officially opened the doors.
11:17I officially opened the doors.
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.
11:53Waits 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?
12:48No, 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.
13:53Hello, everyone.
13:56Oh, yeah, you're right.
13:57Oh, yeah, you're right.
13:58Hello, sir.
13:59I don't need to...
14:00I don't know.
14:01We'll work on a building.
14:02Oh, yeah.
14:03Hello, sir.
14:05Hello, everyone.

16:13Hey, it's all right, buddy.
17:05Oh, Zenith.
17:06Cool.
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.
17:15Wellness check.
17:16Okay.
17:16Hey, why 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.
17:58Ah-oom.
18:02Ah-oom.
18:03Ah-oom.
18:05Let's say farewell to Winsentrag.
18:09He went to shore and met the hag
18:15With just one gash betrothed they be
18:21She followed him on land and sea
18:26For if you let her pierce your skin
18:34Betwixt her thighs
18:38Your final sin
18:45I don't understand, how do you die?
18:49She crawls into your bed and sits on your face
18:55I can't believe I let you into my headache
18:59Wait Tom, Tom!
19:01When did she get you?
19:05It doesn't matter
19:06Find a chest, lock yourself in it from the inside
19:10A chest?
19:11No
19:11Her scratch paralyzes you, you'll get tired
19:14By tonight you won't be able to lift a finger
19:17Now!
19:18You stay in there for 72 hours
19:21Till the wound heals
19:23Then she can't track you no more
19:25Otherwise
19:27She'll hunt you down
19:55Okay
19:56Okay
19:56Okay
19:56Hello Gil
19:58PJ
20:26You could play a game with some friends
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
20:47And then you tell Sean's parents you're staying here
20:48Just stay at Sean's, alright? I'm trusting you
20:51Yes, of course
20:52We're honest with each other
20:53Hey?
20:55Hey?
21:49I'm so sorry, our food is taking so long
21:52Oh my god
21:53You hate this woman
21:54No, no, I don't
21:55I swear, I don't
21:58But if I'd known Kathy was working the Driftwood tonight
22:00I would have just cancelled
22:02Really?
22:03Not even a relocation?
22:05No, call her right off
22:07I'm not a monster
22:08No, I'm not
22:09But I've been watching her read her paperback all night
22:12Well, she deserves it
22:16Thank you, Kathy
22:21She's my best friend
22:26You absolutely did not order that
22:30Yeah, I ordered a sundae
22:32I know you did
22:33I'm not a monster

23:02Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
23:44So do you go out on a lot of dates as, you know, the mayor?
23:50Well, not since Kathy and I split.
23:53It's not a large dating pool.
23:56But you were married, right?
24:00Yes.
24:02How long ago did you separate?
24:06We didn't separate.
24:08She passed away.
24:10Oh, I'm so sorry.
24:13Long time ago.
24:17Complications from childbirth.
24:21Hey, squad.
24:22How do you feel about dessert?
24:23Did you just give us a minute?
24:25Sure.
24:26I'm sorry.
24:27Oh, no.
24:28It's fine.
24:28It's fine.
24:30I mean, it's just been the two of us for the most part, and we've gone by fine.
24:36I can't imagine what that must have been like all on your own.
24:39To just lose someone like that.
24:43That's awful.
24:50Oh, my God.
24:52What?
24:52I have scents at cocktails.
24:55Oh.
24:55Do you have to go?
24:56Uh, well, I think my colleague Patricia would bring a gun to work if I didn't.
25:00Oh.
25:01I'm sorry.
25:03It's okay.
25:05Did you want to come?
25:10Is there somewhere else we could go?
25:14It's just, this is nice.
25:15I'd love to keep talking.
25:19Maybe we could go to your house.
25:28Oh.
25:30I'm sorry.
25:31Is that weird?
25:32I'm sorry.
25:34I'm sorry.
25:35I swear I don't usually invite myself over to a man's house.
25:38No, no, of course.
25:39It's just, um.
25:42Tonight's not the best.
25:44Yeah.
25:45No, I get it.
25:57Wait a second.
25:59You've never been to Boston?
26:01That's insane.
26:02I mean, I have.
26:03But, yeah, these guys have never left the island.
26:04What?
26:05You've never even left the island?
26:08There's no way.
26:10Oh, shit.
26:11Can you guys do this shit in Boston?
26:25Yes.
26:26We do a lot in Boston.
