00:00:05There was a buffet of delicacies, all for my taking, but best of all, I could be alone.

00:00:20Oh, how I miss the peace and quiet of home, especially during the hell of a field trip.

00:00:30Day 1,401 of my captivity, a herd of third graders and their inept teacher here to learn

00:00:37about marine life and ruin my afternoon.

00:00:39This guy's name is Marcellus and he's a giant Pacific octopus.

00:00:44Kevin, stop licking the glass.

00:00:46I don't see him.

00:00:46It's not in there.

00:00:47That's because I'm camouflaged, Kevin.

00:00:49Read the plaque.

00:00:52In this aquarium, I am subservient to a species beneath me in every observable metric.

00:00:57To be at their mercy is humbling.

00:01:02Their only redeeming quality is the tiny mural they leave on my cell, each one unique, each

00:01:08one as intricate as a moonsnail.

00:01:12Of all the humans, I suppose I mind the cleaning lady the least.

00:01:17Feeling a bit antisocial tonight?

00:01:20Feeling a bit antisocial tonight?

00:01:20I know the feeling.

00:01:22She can't hide from me.

00:01:24I hope you got some fresh scallops today.

00:01:27I told Tara you must be sick of that frozen halibut.

00:01:29Ugh.

00:01:30Oh, you have no idea.

00:01:33Unlike the rest of her dull species, we share some similarities.

00:01:38We both prefer the night.

00:01:42We enjoy our solitude.

00:01:44Hello, my lovelies.

00:01:45Like me, she has a distaste for wolf eels, and sticky floors.

00:02:00And we both dream of the bottom of the sea, of what we lost there.

00:02:31How are your allergies treating you?

00:02:32Fine.

00:02:33Miranda Dern's been complaining about hers as well.

00:02:36What works for her is a cold washcloth on her feet before bed.

00:02:40Hm?

00:02:40Of all things.

00:02:41Well, that's her business, isn't it?

00:02:44Aye.

00:02:45Right.

00:02:46Fifteen dollars, please.

00:02:47Ten.

00:02:49Five.

00:06:44and harriet are dating the same man well of course they are they both have the same wallpaper for

00:06:5030 years the wallpaper i can understand fred so well day is a fish tank that's what will used to

00:06:58say he used to say he couldn't buy a jar of peanut butter without the whole town knowing an hour

00:07:03later

00:07:06uh well he's the one that got us on the list of that daycare for seniors charter village they keep

00:07:14calling me wanting to know my plans right before he got sick he put us on the list

00:07:20i think he was just worried about me ending up in that house alone

00:07:25we'll want to sell the place 30 years ago right after eric

00:07:32after he was gone move on he said move on sell the house

00:07:39i couldn't

00:07:43maybe he was right

00:07:50though she lives in a larger tank than me i can deduce that the cleaning lady also wishes to break

00:07:56free my superior intelligence makes me uniquely attuned to the behavior of all creatures

00:08:03and i suspect that what she needs to escape lurks somewhere deeper

00:08:13oh my goodness god's sakes

00:08:18come on

00:08:23oh

00:08:25oh

00:08:26this is

00:08:28disgusting

00:08:29there we go

00:08:30okay

00:09:01oh

00:09:02oh

00:09:04oh

00:09:17it is said to me octopuses once had shells

00:09:22giving them up was dangerous it exposed us to predators but it also gave us freedom to slip

00:09:29through cracks and crevices to explore to hunt and when necessary to escape in this prison my

00:09:38gastronomical satisfaction depends on it but there are consequences to my exceptional bravery

00:09:47every minute out of the water dries my skin and slows my three hearts

00:09:52tonight it nearly cost me my life

00:10:00marcellus she saved me you scared me half to death

00:10:30I did not intend to make her fall

00:10:33my tug was instinctual because I felt the hole in her heart her hidden affliction

00:10:43the cleaning lady's heart I must find a way to heal it

00:10:46it's the least I can do to repay her for saving mine

00:11:08oh my god

00:17:32inferior vision

00:17:35slow-witted male

00:17:36may have more to offer

00:17:37than his manner suggests

00:17:39indeed

00:18:09you can use this

00:18:10I'm not touching

00:18:11some random kid's gum

00:18:12I'm not asking you to chew it

00:18:13just get it off the floor

00:18:15get all the water out now

00:18:16all the water out

00:18:18really really

00:18:19put your weight into it

00:18:20honestly

00:18:21otherwise it'll be all puddles

00:18:22you really gotta wipe it hard

00:18:24everything sticks on that

00:18:25really clean that

00:18:26the kids like to lick up in there

00:18:29that's barely even noticeable

00:18:30that's like part of the patina

00:18:32it sticks on people's shoes

00:18:33circular motions

00:18:34not up and down

00:18:35circular motions

00:18:36if you go up and down

00:18:37it just makes streaks

00:18:38come on

00:18:38there you go

00:18:44nothing is really coming off

00:18:46yes it is

00:18:49I actually think that

00:18:50if I scrape this off

00:18:51it'll be more noticeable

00:18:52potentially even a divot

00:18:53you're spending more time

00:18:54arguing about it

00:18:54then it would be just

00:18:55to scrape it off

00:18:57no no no no no

00:18:58you're not finished

00:18:59you have to tie a knot in it

00:19:00otherwise it'll slide

00:19:01all the way to the bottom

00:19:02it's fine

00:19:03no it's not fine

00:19:04there is a right way

00:19:04and a wrong way

00:19:05to do things

00:19:06I'm aware you've said that

00:19:07like 600 times

00:43:42talking about paddle boards i think i might be too tall for this sport no that's not really a thing

00:43:46actually i think i'm yeah just might be the outlier you know these suits are supposed to cut off all

00:43:50the circulation to your brain yeah you kind of want to feel like you're going to pass out that means

00:43:53it's all right oh okay i'm right there then yeah you know maybe just try being quiet it might help

00:43:57you

00:43:58okay

00:44:16grateful

00:44:23fair

00:44:23scene for a bit then i realized it's the people i enjoyed most so when the shopway came up for

00:44:30sale

00:44:31i jumped on it it's been a lifeline ever since don't you ever want to be alone no oh it's

00:44:39a joy to see

00:44:40people every day watching their lives change well you're the opposite of me the aquarium is a refuge for

00:44:49me to get away from people but you're not really alone well there's plenty of cutters to keep your

00:44:53company huh yes that's true that's true did you always want to own a paddleboard shop no i had other

00:45:05plans you know but life happened and um my 20s were pretty messed up so i got good at pivoting

00:57:25I've got to get to Marianne's lunch and...

00:57:26Oh, my God, I can't tell if I'm hungover for the beer.

00:57:29I've already got my flowers and we're getting dressed.

00:57:34Hi.

00:57:36Well, now we're right under the air vent.

00:57:38Mom, we are not changing tables again.

00:57:40Well, I was willing to put up with a round table, honey,

00:57:43but that was if it was going to be quieter,

00:57:44but now it's noisy and drafty.

00:57:46Oh, thanks.

00:57:47We are.

00:57:49Hello, everyone.

00:57:50Hey, Tova.

00:57:50Hey, Andy.

00:57:51Tova, you look awful.

00:57:52She's probably tired.

00:57:54She spent the night with the homeless gangster.

00:57:56Oh, good for you.

00:57:57Now, would you stop?

00:57:58He's not homeless and he's not a gang member.

00:58:00No, I just watched him perform.

00:58:03Perform what?

00:58:05Music.

00:58:06Lovely music.

00:58:07And then he drove me home and he stayed the night on the couch.

00:58:10I thought I smelled malt liquor.

00:58:11Andy?

00:58:12Adam, what are you doing here?

00:58:14Hi.

00:58:15Hey.

00:58:15This is my wife, Eliza.

00:58:17Hi.

00:58:17And we're moving back here.

00:58:18Next month.

00:58:19Do you?

00:58:20No, no.

00:58:20I'm just up from Portland for the weekend,

00:58:21helping my mom move out.

00:58:22You remember my mom, Marianne?

00:58:23Hi.

00:58:24These are her friends, Janice, Barb, and Tova.

00:58:26Hi.

00:58:26Tova.

00:58:27Tova Sullivan?

00:58:29Yes.

00:58:30Adam wasn't kidding.

00:58:31This is a small town.

00:58:32We just toured your house.

00:58:34What?

00:58:34Yours is the beautiful one on the cove, right?

00:58:36Yes.

00:58:37Oh, it is so special.

00:58:38I'm sure you'll get a lot of offers.

00:58:40Tova, what on earth is she talking about?

00:58:42Are you selling your house?

00:58:44Oh, was I not supposed to say?

00:58:46No, it's fine.

00:58:47It's totally, totally fine.

00:58:48Very nice to meet you.

00:58:49Very nice.

00:58:52So, let's see.

00:58:58Okay, all right, all right, all right.

00:59:00I'm selling the house.

00:59:01What?

00:59:01Without telling us?

00:59:02Helen Brown just took the apartment down the hall.

00:59:05I have a place.

00:59:06Where?

00:59:07Charter Village up in Bellingham.

00:59:09That's so far.

00:59:10That old people home?

00:59:11That's for golfers, retired pros.

00:59:14I like golf.

00:59:15I want to learn how to play golf.

00:59:16No, you will room with me until someone else in the building dies.

00:59:20Oh, no, I don't care for your building.

00:59:22Tova, this is nonsense.

00:59:24You are not moving to Charter Village.

00:59:25Well, what would you have me do?

00:59:27Move in with my children.

00:59:29All right, party people.

00:59:31Who needs a drink?

00:59:36Hey, Mrs. Sullivan.

00:59:38Yes.

00:59:38I'm so sorry about earlier.

00:59:40We had no idea.

00:59:41It was a secret.

00:59:42An honest mistake, really.

00:59:45You're Eric's mom, right?

00:59:47Yes.

00:59:48We hung out a bunch in senior year.

00:59:49I mean, he was a really fun guy.

00:59:53And I never believed what people said.

00:59:56He just wouldn't have done that.

00:59:59You know, he was supposed to hang out that weekend at my family's cabin.

01:00:02He was going to sneak some beer and bring that girl that he was crazy about.

01:00:07Wait, he didn't have a girlfriend.

01:00:10I don't know what she was exactly.

01:00:13I mean, he was real secretive about it all.

01:00:15What was her name?

01:00:16It was Daphne.

01:00:18Or Cassie.

01:00:19I don't know.

01:00:20It was Daphne or Cassie.

01:00:20Something like that.

01:00:21Adam?

01:00:22There's my wife.

01:00:23Are you...

01:00:23Yeah, fine.

01:00:24All right.

01:00:25Okay.

01:00:29There was a girl.

01:00:32There was a girl.

01:00:45There was a girl.

01:00:47Oh, my God.

01:00:49Oh, my God.

01:01:06I know what it is to scavenge, to forage, under reefs and rocks.

01:01:12But the human's obsession with objects goes deeper.

01:01:15They remember with them.

01:01:18For weeks, I've searched for an object to help the cleaning lady and the juvenile understand what is utterly apparent

01:01:24to me.

01:01:26But these missions are taking a toll on me now.

01:01:29My heartbeats are slowing.

01:01:31And I fear that as my own story nears its end, so too does theirs.

01:01:36And everyone involved will be left with a hole.

01:01:42No, no, no.

01:01:53It's over?

01:01:56They aren't even opened.

01:01:58It's over.

01:02:08It's over.

01:02:11No.

01:02:12No.

01:02:13No.

01:02:18Don't.

01:02:36Oh, yes.

01:02:41Andy.

01:02:42Andy, hi.

01:02:42Did you ever order your senior yearbook?

01:02:44Toba, what on earth's the matter?

01:02:46Do you have Andy's senior yearbook?

01:02:53Toba, are you home?

01:02:56Because I never ordered it.

01:02:57I didn't want it.

01:02:58Maybe in here.

01:02:59Maybe in here.

01:03:01Oh, OK.

01:03:05Oh, my God.

01:03:05Here it is.

01:03:06Oh.

01:03:08Let's see.

01:03:09Daphne.

01:03:10Daphne.

01:03:11Daphne.

01:03:12Daphne.

01:03:12Yeah, some more.

01:03:13There she is.

01:03:14OK.

01:03:15Oh, five, seven, page six.

01:03:18There she is.

01:03:19I remember her.

01:03:21She was new senior year.

01:03:22I feel bad for her.

01:03:23And always with that guy, Simon.

01:03:25Not Eric?

01:03:26Not that I remember.

01:03:27No.

01:03:28Well, maybe Adam got the name wrong.

01:03:29It was a long time ago.

01:03:30Maybe.

01:03:32And what does it prove anyway, Toba?

01:03:34Even if there was a girl?

01:03:36I don't know.

01:03:37I don't know.

01:03:38I don't know that he was happy.

01:03:39I don't know.

01:03:40But he was happy.

01:03:41You know that he was happy.

01:03:42Look, I'm so sorry.

01:03:44I know you're going through a lot right now.

01:03:46I really don't want to be a burden.

01:03:47I'm so sorry.

01:03:48Will you stop?

01:03:51You are not a burden.

01:03:53Tova, you're my friend.

01:03:56And this is what we do for each other.

01:04:03Do you know that I'm still not used to sleeping upstairs all by myself in that big bed?

01:04:08I keep to my side and every morning I wake up surprised that I'm alone.

01:04:14And now I have to leave my best friends and move to a city where I don't know anybody except

01:04:18my grandchildren.

01:04:21I'm scared.

01:04:24I'm scared, Tova.

01:04:25And I really wish I could talk about this with you.

01:04:28But if you are so busy trying not to be a burden to anyone, you've forgotten how to be a

01:04:34friend.

01:04:35I mean, what's the point?

01:04:39What's the point if you stop the business of living?

01:04:53Hello?

01:05:00Hello?

01:05:04Tova?

01:05:07What are you doing?

01:05:08What are you doing?

01:05:09Sorry, I hope I didn't scare you.

01:05:10I just I came to fix those death traps. I need nothing fixed. I need you to get out of

01:05:14there

01:05:14Okay, well, you don't pick up your phone and you don't answer the door doesn't give you the right to

01:05:17trespass now

01:05:18I need you to get out of there

01:05:20Well, I'm sorry. I just thought you need some help. I don't need any help. I don't need anything fixed

01:05:24I need nothing because I'm moving

01:05:27Why as soon as I sell the house now, I need you to get out of there

01:05:31Okay

01:05:38I

01:05:38Get out! Get out!

01:05:40I see

01:05:57How'd it go?

01:05:58I don't want to talk about it

01:06:03Mr. Sullivan, great news. We got an offer on the house. You'll just need to come in and find some

01:06:09paperwork

01:06:09Talk to you soon

01:06:14Oh

01:06:17Oh

01:06:19Cameron

01:06:29It seems to be a hallmark of the human species

01:06:32Abysmal communication skills

01:06:37Why can humans not use their millions of words to simply tell one another what they desire?

01:07:03Yeah, hello

01:07:04Hi, I'm calling from Simon Brinks' office. Is this Cameron?

01:07:06Yeah, yeah, this is him

01:07:09Tova!

01:07:10How was that ankle?

01:07:12Good as new

01:07:12Ah, see?

01:07:13Nothing like a little rest

01:07:14I'm really glad that Cameron has worked out so well

01:07:16He turned out to be quite reliable, that kid

01:07:18Yeah

01:07:19I came to say goodbye, actually

01:07:21I'm moving across the bay to Charter Village

01:07:23If it's alright, I think I'll stay and do one last clean

01:07:26Well, we'll miss you, Tova

01:07:27Yeah

01:07:28But before you start, come meet our newest tenant

01:07:33Oh

01:07:33Yeah, she was rehabbed by a group up in Alaska after she tore a leg, escaping a crab pot

01:07:38A bit ahead of schedule, but you know me, I couldn't say no

01:07:40What do you mean, ahead of schedule?

01:07:42Marcellus was in a bit of rough shape today

01:07:50Marcellus?

01:07:51Day 1,431

01:07:55Oh

01:07:55Perhaps my last

01:07:57I'm sorry, I haven't been here

01:07:59I got so caught up looking for this girl, this Daphne Casmore

01:08:03I completely ripped Eric's room apart

01:08:10I'm sorry

01:08:12I've been a terrible friend

01:08:14I'm so sorry

01:08:16I'm sorry

01:08:18It is me who is sorry

01:08:20I have failed you

01:08:36Cameron?

01:08:41Look at you

01:08:43Uh, did you, you want to grab a table?

01:08:44Or

01:08:45Yeah

01:08:45Yeah, yeah

01:08:50We were inseparable

01:08:53Yeah, I know, it seems like it

01:08:55So

01:08:56What the hell happened?

01:08:59Well, I don't know Cameron

01:09:02After she left, I got very few updates from her

01:09:04Unless it was about you

01:09:05She was always very proud of you

01:09:06She was always very proud of you

01:09:06And you were fine just like

01:09:09Not doing shit

01:09:10To help out

01:09:11With your own kid

01:09:13Oh

01:09:14Cameron, did you think

01:09:17I'm so sorry

01:09:19I'm not your dad

01:09:22She was my best friend

01:09:23But I was never into women

01:09:27You have to understand

01:09:28You have to understand

01:09:28My dad would have killed me if he found out

01:09:29So

01:09:30All she covered for me to

01:09:33Keep him off my back

01:09:37I had no idea you thought I was your dad

01:09:38So

01:09:39So I guess, okay, this

01:09:40That's not yours then?

01:09:43Well, my initials are SOB

01:09:45There's no way I was going to get that engraved on a ring

01:09:47I just thought that was like your school mascot or whatever

01:09:50Eels

01:09:50No, our school mascot was the pirate

01:09:53Nobody likes eels

01:09:55So then who the hell was my dad?

01:09:57She must have told you she was your best friend

01:09:59She wouldn't tell anyone

01:10:00I don't know what to say, Cameron

01:10:02She was young, scared

01:10:03Her father was even worse than mine

01:10:06And I'm sure she was terrified that he would find out

01:10:13Cameron, hi

01:10:14Where have you been?

01:10:15What the hell do you care?

01:10:16Oh, listen

01:10:17I'm sorry

01:10:18I should not have done that

01:10:19I was taking things out

01:10:20Yeah, well, lucky for you

01:10:21I'll be out of your hair for good in a minute

01:10:23What do you mean?

01:10:24I've been stuck here

01:10:26For nothing

01:10:27What?

01:10:28What?

01:10:29That was completely out of my mind

01:10:30That Simon Brinks guy

01:10:31He's not even my dad

01:10:32He's my mom's gay best friend

01:10:34This isn't even his ring

01:10:34Well, whose ring is it?

01:10:36I don't know

01:10:36It's the...

01:10:37Friggin' Eels

01:10:38Oh, no, no

01:10:39Don't do that

01:10:40Oh, don't do that

01:10:41Cameron

01:10:41Listen, okay

01:10:43He wasn't your dad

01:10:44And I'm sorry about that

01:10:45But that doesn't mean you have to leave

01:10:47You have a good job here

01:10:48You really think that this is how I want to spend the rest of my life?

01:10:50Scrubbing fish tanks and cleaning gum off the floor?

01:10:53Oh

01:10:54Cameron

01:10:55Please don't leave

01:10:56You have so much here

01:10:58People who care about you

01:10:59Is that why you're leaving?

01:11:01And what about Marcellus?

01:11:02He doesn't have much time

01:11:04He needs you

01:11:05That's not my problem

01:11:06Oh, Cameron, you're better than this

01:11:08No, I'm not

01:11:09I'm really not

01:11:12Cameron!

01:11:22Of all the tanks

01:11:23He had to choose that one

01:11:26There are few creatures more savage than wolf eels

01:11:30That I should have one as a neighbor is punishment enough

01:11:33But my hatred

01:11:35Is personal

01:11:38Is personal

01:11:42With my boundless wisdom

01:11:44I should have known to use more caution

01:11:46But the lure of a dungeness crab is hard to resist

01:11:56If not for my injury

01:11:58If not for my injury

01:11:58I might have evaded the human's so-called rescue

01:12:01I may be older

01:12:03And weaker

01:12:04But I am also wiser

01:12:08This time

01:12:09I have come prepared

01:12:12Besides

01:12:13I have no choice but to face my enemy

01:12:16That ring

01:12:17Is the proof I need

01:12:31What the heck?

01:12:42Marcellus

01:12:45Marcellus, Marcellus

01:12:49Oh

01:12:51I'll get you back to your tank

01:12:52Stay right there

01:12:54Oh my God

01:13:00Oh

01:13:00Oh, look at you

01:13:02Oh

01:13:04Marcellus

01:13:05Oh

01:13:07Okay, hold on

01:13:08Hold on, we'll get your hand

01:13:09Hold on, hold on

01:13:11Hold on

01:13:11My goodness

01:13:14Oh

01:13:18Oh

01:13:19I'll get you back

01:13:20Here we go

01:13:21Here we go

01:13:22What were you doing all the way over here?

01:13:28Oh

01:13:31Oh

01:13:36I see

01:13:43Okay

01:13:46Okay, my friend

01:14:08We're outside, Marcellus

01:14:11Can you tell we're outside?

01:14:15We're almost home

01:14:38This is my home

01:14:40Marcellus

01:14:42I can't leave here

01:14:43This is my home

01:14:48But I know

01:14:54I know

01:14:54I know I have to let you go home

01:14:58We both know you didn't want to end up here

01:15:00But

01:15:02I'm so glad Terry saved you

01:15:08Because you saved me

01:15:26Oh

01:15:27Oh

01:15:45Oh

01:15:45Out you go

01:15:46Out you go

01:15:53Go on home

01:15:54Marcellus

01:16:02Goodbye

01:16:12Goodbye, my friend

01:16:14Goodbye, my friend

01:16:18Goodbye, my friend

01:16:39I will be back

01:17:00Oh

01:17:00Oh my God

01:17:05Oh my God

01:17:06Oh my God

01:17:08Marcellus

01:17:09Oh my God

01:17:09Marcellus

01:17:09me. Oh my. Oh, my son. Oh my God. Oh my God.

01:17:27At first, I sink like an anchor, my arms as heavy as rocks. And then, with a twitch,

01:17:35I awaken. I do not say this to give you false hope. My death is imminent. But time

01:17:42enough remains. Tova? Tova? Tova? You're all wet. Cameron, you came back. Yes. I guess there's

01:18:10a right way and a wrong way to do things. Where's Marcellus? I can't find him anywhere.

01:18:16I let him go home. Really? Wow. Well, that's good, right? I'll miss him, though.

01:18:31Would you sit down here with me for a while? I want to show you something that Marcellus

01:18:37left for us. What? My ring? How did he? He paid a visit to the Eels.

01:18:52My son's name was Eric Ernst Lindgren Sullivan. It's his ring. He gave it to your mother,

01:19:02Daphne Kazmar. I think he was in love with her.

01:19:17And you're saying that Marcellus figured out that you're my grandmother?

01:19:22I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I mean...

01:19:41It's all right. It's all right.

01:20:00I swim down. Down to the depths of the sea. With every ounce of energy left in me.

01:20:12Life is everywhere. As magnificent as I remembered.

01:20:21Until at last, I can feel it again.

01:20:26Taste it.

01:20:28With every inch of my body.

01:20:32I am home.

01:20:35Cradled by the same ocean floor that once held a cherished son.

01:20:41A long-lost father.

01:20:44All this time, I've been looking for the wrong person.

01:21:04I was holding my breath from the tightrope walker, sleeping in the moon glow,

01:21:08Saying all my children's love for me, maybe it's time to go.

01:21:11You can be cruel on your own wife. You can be wise on your blue.

01:21:15You can be bad hair. That I have for you.

01:21:18Hey.

01:21:19Calling them almost, they call me son. Great-grandson, grandson.

01:21:23Great-ho, I'm pretty busy right now.

01:21:25No, it's not. Sorry. I... I... You're...

01:21:27Your life is so much bigger than mine.

01:21:30And I... I panicked.

01:21:31Then I do it for you.

01:21:33I really like you.

01:21:36And I'd love to be a part of that big life.

01:21:38If you'll let me.

01:21:52It's our pizza.

01:22:32It's his box of treasures.

01:22:38All his little things.

01:22:48Is this your mother?

01:22:51Yeah.

01:23:07He named you.
