01:53I'm sorry. I'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? Can I offer you a ride?
02:19Uh, all right. 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, but these days, a bachelorette in a place like this is
02:35a little more our speed.
02:37You getting married?
02:38Me? No. No. Just a bridesmaid.
02:42Oh.
02:42We're staying at the inn.
02:45How's your stay?
02:47It's nice. It's winked.
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. I'm doing the inaugural swim.
03:00Uh, it's, it's just one of the island traditions. The mayor swims in the ocean every year to show that
03:05it's, it's safe from the island's history of ocean dangers.
03:12Interesting.
03:13Yeah. We're also hosting a sense of cocktails event after. Um, I mean, if you and your friends are looking
03:19for some nightlife.
03:21Tonight, the girls were talking about going to Barnabas Tavern. It's supposed to be a dive bar.
03:26Yeah.
03:27Do you, do you go there?
03:29Yeah, sometimes.
03:31Well, maybe I'll see you there, though.
03:34Yeah, yeah. Maybe.
03:40Well, some of the cash businesses downtown are balking at the idea of the city sales tax. They said, um,
03:46actually, they said, if you want this blood money, you got to come and get it yourself, which felt threatening.
03:51So, I don't know. I'm at a loss. What do you think, Tom?
03:57Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. No. Of course. Yeah, that's great. Hey, um, are we getting the word out about the sunset
04:04cocktails? I, I just, I just feel like no one knows about it.
04:09I 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. You really need to stay on top of this, because I spoke
04:19to a woman, hadn't heard about any of it.
04:21What woman?
04:22Just a woman.
04:24Where did you speak to her?
04:25Uh, in my car.
04:26I don't understand.
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.
04:34That's fine. Anyway, let's, uh, let's just make sure every accommodation has all the info. Restaurants, too. And, um, oh,
04:41I also want to talk about music. What music we're going to play when I walk from the platform to
04:44the ocean for the swim, because I don't want that to be awkward.
04:47Was she attractive?
04:47I, I didn't notice one way or the other.
04:50How old was she?
04:51She 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 is my top
05:08priority. 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.
05:17Ruth 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.
05:52It's the mornings that are hard.
06:00Uh, well, I'm 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.
06:23Well, 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.
06:53I have a good time with my colleagues.
07:02I don't know.
07:55Excuse me, ma'am.
08:00Miss, do you need a ride?
08:11Miss?
08:18Hello?
08:24Hello?
08:24Hello?
08:54Hello?
09:13Did you write that down?
09:15Uh-huh.
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.
09:21You 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.
09:35I...
09:36Listen, I have...
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 M.D.?
10:00I'm not doing this with you again.
10:01I have to swim today.
10:02I have to go in the ocean.
10:03You did your residency with Dr. MacArthur.
10:05Stop, stop it.
10:06Stop 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 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.
10:47Oh, did she leave a number?
10:48No.
10:49Oh, but she said...
10:58Oh, she said...
11:01Yeah.
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 ocean.
11:16I officially opened the ocean.
11:20Sounds like the sea hag.
11:23The what?
11:24You're scratched.
11:27Old fisherman's lore.
11:28You heard of it?
11:29No.
11:29Because 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, no.
13:24Don't, don't, don't.
13:27Oh, oh, no.
13:30Oh, for fuck's sake.
13:34Don't bring the bike back.
13:53Hello everyone.
13:56Hello.
13:58Hello, sir.
13:59I don't need to hear you.
14:01I don't know what your boyfriend is on the phone.

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.
17:58Oh, oh.
18:05Let's say farewell to Vincent Trag
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
18:28For if you let her pierce your skin
18:35Betwixt her thighs
18:37Your 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
18:58Damn it. Wait Tom. Tom
19:01When did she get you?
19:05Doesn't matter

19:10A chest?
19:11No

19:14But tonight you won't be able to lift a finger
19:17No
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
19:31You stay in there for 72 hours
19:45Okay
19:46Yeah, I won't

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.
20:21Hey, I could go to Sean's house to just play a game with some friends or something, if you're out
20:29of the house.
20:31And you won't be going out until all hours? This is a sleepover party?
20:37Yes, it's a sleepover party. Yes.
20:41Okay. Okay. But please don't do that thing where you tell me you're staying at Sean's and then you tell
20:47Sean's parents you're staying here.
20:48Just stay at Sean's, all right? I'm trusting you.
20:51Yes, of course. We're honest with each other.
20:54Right?
21:49I'm so sorry.

21:58But if I'd known Kathy was working the Driftwood tonight, I would have just canceled.
