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.
06:10I'm going to work.
06:12Nobody out.
06:13One of us.
06:14We're trying to minimize the damage.
06:17Detroit's two in the first.
06:20And now Boston's in another jam here.
06:22We're at the top of the Detroit border coming out the fourth.
06:25Okay.
06:28They need in at least six settings.
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.
07:21Thank you for that.
07:23I'm Jacob.
07:25We have your friends.
07:27Yeah.
07:29Yeah.
07:36Yeah.
07:42Yeah.
07:42Yeah.
07:43Yeah.
07:45Yeah.
07:46All right.
08:30Excuse me, ma'am?
08:36Miss?
08:38Do you need a ride?
08:47Miss?
08:59Hello?
09:00Hello?
09:01Hello?
09:01Hello?
09:05Hello?
09:09Hello?
09:10Hello?
09:12Hello?
09:22Hello?
09:29Hello?
09:32Hello?
09:33Hello?
09:43Hello?
09:43Hello?
09:44Hello?
09:49Hello?
09:49Hello?
09:50Hello?
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.
10:00You know, just in case.
10:01And set up a perimeter around the island.
10:04The island has a perimeter.
10:05It's called the ocean.
10:07Oh, okay.
10:08I don't know where your patient is this morning, but did you write down she was fast?
10:12Yes.
10:14Ahem.
10:15I...
10:15Listen, I had...
10:23You sure this wasn't an animal that did this to you?
10:26No.
10:26What?
10:27Why?
10:27Does 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.
10:39Where did you get your MD?
10:41I'm not doing this with you again.
10:42I had to swim today.
10:43I have to go in the ocean.
10:44You did your residency with Dr. MacArthur.
10:47Stop.
10:47Stop it.
10:48Stop it.
10:49I'm sorry.
10:49It's just everything's planned.
10:50People will be waiting.
10:58Free drinks and a sunset.
11:00Oh, Tom.
11:00What?
11:02What happened to your arm?
11:03Oh, I...
11:04I got scratched by an elderly...
11:07woman.
11:08Was she in her forties?
11:12You know what?
11:12I was trying to do something nice.
11:14I saw a woman walking alone late at night.
11:16And I offered her a ride.
11:18She scratched me.
11:18Now I won't stop leaving.
11:19Tom, you just missed a visitor.
11:21Marissa.
11:23Uh...
11:23Oh, Marissa?
11:25She was here?
11:25What did she say?
11:27Uh, she asked if you were here.
11:29I said no.
11:30Oh, did she leave a number?
11:32No.
11:33About...
11:34Oh, but she said...
11:42Ruth?
11:44Oh, she said...
11:45Yeah.
11:46Uh, maybe she'd see you at the...
11:50swim.
11:50There's one more word.
11:51Just a minute.
11:53Oh, today.
11:56Thanks.
11:59I officially open views.
12:01I officially open views.
12:03I officially open views.
12:05I officially open views.
12:06Sounds like the sea hag.
12:08The what?
12:10The scratch.
12:12Old fisherman's lore.
12:13You heard of it?
12:14No.
12:15Because 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 so she can track
12:35you down like a bloodhound.
12:37She's a trickster.
12:40Waits 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.
13:27What'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.
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 gonna take?
13:58No rush, Garrett.
13:59Anytime.
14:06He's running the bicycle.
14:09Jesus Christ.
14:10Oh, he stopped.
14:14Oh, no, no, no, no, no.
14:15Don't.
14:16Don't.
14:18Oh, oh, no.
14:22Oh, for fuck's sake.
14:26Don't bring the bike back!
14:45Hello, 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.
15:15So, here's to a safe and spectacular summer.
15:20I officially open the ocean.
15:31Here we go.
15:36Here we go.
15:59Here we go.
16:06Here we go.
16:22Here we go.
16:32Here we go.
16:46Here we go.
16:46Here we go.
16:48Here we go.
16:49Here we go.
17:09Here we go.
17:12Here we go.
17:14Here we go.
17:17All right, buddy.
18:08Oh, Zenith. Cool.
18:10Are you going to tell me what the fuck you're doing in my house?
18:13I just thought I'd check in.
18:16Okay, okay. Wellness 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?
18:48Specifically one that scratches you and then tracks you down?
18:55Every sailor knows the story of the hag.
19:10Let's say farewell to Ensign Trag.
19:14He went to shore and met the hag with just one gash betrothed a bee.
19:27She 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. How 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. Tom!
20:10When did she get you?
20:13Doesn't matter.
20:15Find a chest. Lock yourself in it from the inside.
20:19A chest?
20:20Yeah.
20:20Her scratch paralyzes you. You'll get tired.
20:24By tonight, you won't be able to lift a finger.
20:27Now, you 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.
20:56Okay, yeah, yeah, I'm all right.

23:12I swear, I don't.
23:15But if I'd known Kathy was working the driftwood tonight,
23:17I would have just canceled.

23:24I'm not a monster.
23:26No, I'm not.
23:27But I've been watching her read her paperback all night.
23:30Well, she deserves it.
23:34Thank you, Kathy.
23:39She's my best friend.
23:45You absolutely did not order that.
23:49Yeah, I ordered a sundae.

24:26Oh, my God.

25:13Well, not since Kathy and I split. It's not a large dating pool.
25:19But you were married, right?
25:22Yes.
25:25How long ago did you separate?
25:29We didn't separate. She passed away.
25:34Oh, I'm so sorry.
25:37Long time ago.
25:41Complications from childbirth.
25:45Hey, squad. How do you feel about dessert?
25:48Did you just give us a minute?
25:49Sure.
25:51I'm sorry.
25:52Oh, no. It's fine. It's fine.
25:54I mean, it's just been the two of us for the most part, and we've gotten by fine.
26:00I can't imagine what that must have been like all on your own.
26:04To just lose someone like that.
26:08That's awful.
26:15Oh, my God.
26:17What?
26:18I have Sunset Cocktails.
26:20Oh. Do you have to go?
26:22Uh, well, I think my colleague Patricia would bring a gun to work if I didn't.
26:26Oh.
26:27I'm sorry.
26:30It's okay.
26:32Did you want to come?
26:37Is there somewhere else we could go?
26:41It's just, this is nice. I'd love to keep talking.
26:46Maybe we could go to your house.
26:56Oh.
26:58I'm sorry. Is that weird?
27:00I'm sorry.
27:01I'm sorry.
27:03I swear I don't usually invite myself over to a man's house.
27:06No, no, of course.
27:07It's just, um,
27:10tonight's not the best.
27:12Yeah.
27:13No, I get it.
27:26Wait a second.
27:28You've never been to Boston?
27:30That's insane.
27:31No, no, no. I mean, I have.
27:32But, yeah, these guys have never left the island.
27:34What?
27:35You've never even left the island?
27:38No way.
27:39Oh, shit.
27:41Can you guys do this shit in Boston?
27:55Yes, we do, Adam, Boston.
27:57I mean, I don't know.
28:03Reverend Bryce?
28:11There is evil here.
28:14He is.
28:15I mean, he's just kind of as though, you know, who you know.
28:17Whoops.
28:36I don't know.
28:36I don't know.
28:36Well, in this, this time, you know, have fun to land.
28:40I stay there.
28:42I don't know.
28:50Well, Tom, I don't know where you are, but I am at the event that you said you would
28:57be at.
29:03Loftus, pick up.
29:05If she's not inside yet, she's going to find a way.
29:10You won't be able to find her off.
29:56Hello?
29:58Hi, it's me.
30:01They took a shot and they dropped me off.
30:05How did you know where I live?
30:09Someone from your office told me.
30:13I haven't seen any of your friends.
30:16And no one in town has mentioned anything about a bachelorette party.
30:23Oh.
30:25I mean, you can meet them tomorrow if you want.
30:32Aren't you going to let me in?
30:34Why are you asking like that?
30:38Like what?
30:39Okay.
30:40Okay.
30:41I think I am getting big signals here.
30:43Can we just talk?
30:45No.
30:48No, I know what you are.
30:52Bye.
30:55Bye.
31:03Bye.
31:17Bye.
31:18What was you leaving?
31:19What? What happened?
31:42Ouch.
31:57What happened?
32:18Why are you so groggy?
32:22I don't know.
32:31I thought you went to work.
32:36Not yet.
32:44You're welcome.
33:12You're welcome.
33:21I have to go.

35:27I don't know.
35:34Come on.
35:39Tom, it's Bryce.
