1. …and the once uninhabited island,
Copy !req
2. 42 nautical miles from the coast
of colonial New England,
Copy !req
3. came to be known as Widow's Bay.
Copy !req
4. Now home to over 3,000 residents,
Copy !req
5. a town comprised
of fishermen, families, and friends,
Copy !req
6. all thanks to one man.
Copy !req
7. Thank you for joining us
for Richard Warren's journey
Copy !req
8. from humble tradesmen
Copy !req
9. to the first Reeve Prime
and Lord Island Protector,
Copy !req
10. an office the town
now colloquially refers to as "Mayor."
Copy !req
11. And here's Richard the widower with his…
his adoring second wife, Sarah Warren.
Copy !req
12. She's seen here
preparing the evening meal.
Copy !req
13. We also have her journal.
Copy !req
14. So, where are you all from? Hmm?
Copy !req
15. Uh, we've never had so many visitors.
Copy !req
16. There, uh, there's no cell reception
on the island.
Copy !req
17. Thanks.
Copy !req
18. Can I help?
Copy !req
19. No, I have a map. Thanks.
Copy !req
20. Yeah, I made it.
Copy !req
21. Warning, it's not to scale.
Copy !req
22. I'm sorry, I'm the mayor.
Copy !req
23. Um. My-My-My photo's on page four.
Copy !req
24. Huh.
Copy !req
25. Well, that's fun.
Copy !req
26. Um, well then you should probably know
the map isn't the problem,
Copy !req
27. it's your street signs.
Copy !req
28. Unless this actually is "Dickhole Street"?
Copy !req
29. It's-It's not. Um…
Copy !req
30. Where are you headed?
Can I offer you a ride?
Copy !req
31. Uh…
Copy !req
32. All right. Just…
Copy !req
33. don't murder me.
Copy !req
34. We got in last night,
but we just went to bed.
Copy !req
35. There was a time
we would have picked Vegas,
Copy !req
36. but these days a bachelorette in a place
like this is a little more our speed.
Copy !req
37. - You getting married?
- Me? No.
Copy !req
38. No, just a bridesmaid.
Copy !req
39. - Oh.
- We're staying at the Inn.
Copy !req
40. How-How was your stay?
Copy !req
41. It's nice. It's quaint.
Copy !req
42. - Great.
- Yeah.
Copy !req
43. Man, if I lived here,
Copy !req
44. I would go to the beach with a coffee
and a crossword every morning.
Copy !req
45. Oh. Then you should go
to the opening tomorrow.
Copy !req
46. I'm-I'm-I'm doing the inaugural swim.
Copy !req
47. Uh, It's-It's just one
of the island traditions.
Copy !req
48. The mayor swims in the ocean every year
Copy !req
49. to show that it's-it's safe from…
Copy !req
50. the island's history of ocean…
Copy !req
51. dangers.
Copy !req
52. - Interesting.
- Yeah.
Copy !req
53. We're also hosting
a-a-a Sunset Cocktails event after.
Copy !req
54. Um… I mean, if you and your friends
are looking for some nightlife.
Copy !req
55. Tonight the girls were talking
about going to Barnabus Tavern.
Copy !req
56. - It's supposed to be a dive bar.
- Yeah.
Copy !req
57. Do you… do you go there?
Copy !req
58. Yeah, sometimes.
Copy !req
59. Well, maybe I'll see you there then.
Copy !req
60. Yeah. Yeah. Maybe.
Copy !req
61. Well, some of the cash businesses downtown
Copy !req
62. are balking at the idea
of a city sales tax.
Copy !req
63. They said, um… actually they said,
Copy !req
64. "If you want this blood money,
you gotta come and get it yourself,"
Copy !req
65. which felt threatening.
Copy !req
66. So… I don't know, I'm at a loss.
What do you think, Tom?
Copy !req
67. Yeah. Yeah.
Copy !req
68. No, of course. Yeah, that's great.
Copy !req
69. Hey, um,
Copy !req
70. are we getting the word out
about the sunset cocktails?
Copy !req
71. I-I just… I just feel like
no one knows about it.
Copy !req
72. I have personally been spreading the word
Copy !req
73. and Rosemary's been passing out flyers
all morning.
Copy !req
74. Yeah, I think she's
just been smoking outside.
Copy !req
75. You really need to stay on top of this,
'cause I spoke to a woman,
Copy !req
76. hadn't heard about any of it.
Copy !req
77. - What woman?
- Just a woman.
Copy !req
78. - Where did you speak to her?
- In my car.
Copy !req
79. I don't understand.
Copy !req
80. Well, she, uh… she was lost,
Copy !req
81. so I offered her a ride 'cause
it seemed like the right thing to do.
Copy !req
82. - Of course. Excuse me.
- That's fine.
Copy !req
83. Anyway, let's, uh, let's just make sure
every accommodation has all the info.
Copy !req
84. Restaurants too. And, um…
Oh, I also want to talk about music.
Copy !req
85. What music we're going to play
when I walk from the platform
Copy !req
86. to the ocean for the swim,
because I don't want that to be awkward.
Copy !req
87. - Was she attractive?
- I-I didn't notice one way or the other.
Copy !req
88. - How old was she?
- She was… She was age-appropriate.
Copy !req
89. What an odd way to describe someone
who you're just giving a ride.
Copy !req
90. Well, Patricia, as mayor,
Copy !req
91. um, the safety of the residents of…
Copy !req
92. and visitors to…
our seaside village is my top priority.
Copy !req
93. So if a woman is stranded and
needs my help, yes, I'm going to offer it.
Copy !req
94. Okay,
so what is the age cutoff?
Copy !req
95. Because you once saw me with a flat tire,
Copy !req
96. - and you kept on driving.
- No, I didn't see you.
Copy !req
97. Ruth doesn't even have a car.
She walks to work.
Copy !req
98. Well, I thought she enjoyed the exercise.
Copy !req
99. Uh… Hey, Ruth, um,
Copy !req
100. may I offer you a ride tonight?
Copy !req
101. - Oh, no. Thank you.
- Yeah.
Copy !req
102. It's the mornings that are hard.
Copy !req
103. Bases loaded for Detroit. Nobody out.
Copy !req
104. While Boston's just trying
to minimize the damage.
Copy !req
105. Detroit scored two in the first…
Copy !req
106. …and now Boston's in another jam here.
Copy !req
107. Top of the Detroit order
coming up in the fourth.
Copy !req
108. They needed at least six innings…
Copy !req
109. Hello.
Copy !req
110. Hey.
Copy !req
111. - Um, am I catching you at a bad time?
- No.
Copy !req
112. Where you going?
Copy !req
113. Meeting colleagues. At the Barnabus.
Copy !req
114. - Colleagues? Colleagues?
- Yeah.
Copy !req
115. Okay. Well, I'll…
I'm going to be home.
Copy !req
116. - Right, 'cause you're grounded.
- Yeah, of course.
Copy !req
117. Did you change Dickens Street
to Dickhole Street?
Copy !req
118. Somebody did that?
Copy !req
119. That's horrible.
Copy !req
120. Have a good time with your colleagues.
Copy !req
121. Excuse me, ma'am?
Copy !req
122. Miss?
Copy !req
123. Do you… Do you need a ride?
Copy !req
124. Miss?
Copy !req
125. Hello?
Copy !req
126. Fuck, fuck.
Copy !req
127. Fuck.
Copy !req
128. - Did you write that down?
- Mm-hmm.
Copy !req
129. Look, she's probably a homeless woman
who got a free ride on the ferry,
Copy !req
130. but you should call the mental hospitals
on the mainland, you know, just in case.
Copy !req
131. And-And set up
a perimeter around the island.
Copy !req
132. Island has a perimeter.
Copy !req
133. It's called the ocean.
Copy !req
134. Oh, okay. I don't know
where your patience is this morning,
Copy !req
135. but did you write down she was fast?
Copy !req
136. Yes.
Copy !req
137. I… Listen, I have…
Copy !req
138. You sure this wasn't
an animal that did this to you?
Copy !req
139. No. W-Why?
Does it look like an animal wound?
Copy !req
140. Not to me.
Copy !req
141. Then why would you… Oh, my… I can
still swim in the ocean with this, right?
Copy !req
142. Of course you can't.
Copy !req
143. Isn't salt water good for wounds?
Copy !req
144. Remind me, where did you get your MD?
Copy !req
145. I'm not doing this with you again.
Copy !req
146. I have the swim today.
I have to go in the ocean.
Copy !req
147. You did your residency with Dr. MacArthur,
Copy !req
148. - right?
- Stop! Stop it! Stop it.
Copy !req
149. I'm sorry. It's just everything's planned,
people will be waiting.
Copy !req
150. I mean, who wouldn't show up
for Sunset Cocktails?
Copy !req
151. - It's free drinks and a sunset.
- Mm-mmm.
Copy !req
152. - Oh, Tom.
- What?
Copy !req
153. What happened to your arm?
Copy !req
154. Oh, I-I got scratched by an elderly woman.
Copy !req
155. Was she in her 40s?
Copy !req
156. You know what?
I was trying to do something nice. I…
Copy !req
157. I saw a woman walking alone late at night…
Copy !req
158. And I offered her a ride,
Copy !req
159. she scratched me,
now it won't stop bleeding.
Copy !req
160. Tom, you just missed a visitor. Mersa.
Copy !req
161. Uh. Oh… …Marissa?
Copy !req
162. She-She was here? What did she say?
Copy !req
163. Uh, she asked if you were here. I said no.
Copy !req
164. Oh. Did she leave a number?
Copy !req
165. No. Uh, but, uh… Oh, but she said…
Copy !req
166. - Ruth.
- She said…
Copy !req
167. - Oh. She said…
- Yeah.
Copy !req
168. …uh, "Maybe she'd see you at, uh…
Copy !req
169. swim…"
There's one more word, just a minute.
Copy !req
170. Oh. Today.
Copy !req
171. Thanks.
Copy !req
172. "I officially open the ocean."
"I officially open the ocean."
Copy !req
173. Sounds like the Sea Hag.
Copy !req
174. The what?
Copy !req
175. Your scratch.
Copy !req
176. Old fishermen's lore, you heard of it?
Copy !req
177. No, because I can't keep track of
the amount of bullshit this island spews.
Copy !req
178. No, please don't settle in.
Copy !req
179. Rosemary, whatever weird tale you're about
to tell me, I don't wanna know.
Copy !req
180. Story goes…
Copy !req
181. …the Hag targets lonely sailors
and follows them home at night.
Copy !req
182. She scratches you and she gets some
of your skin under her fingernails
Copy !req
183. so she can track you down
like a bloodhound.
Copy !req
184. She's a trickster.
Copy !req
185. Waits until she's got you alone,
got you weak.
Copy !req
186. No, you can't have my water.
Copy !req
187. I don't need to hear
the rest of this. I don't have the time.
Copy !req
188. Can't do anything right today.
Copy !req
189. What's wrong?
Copy !req
190. Apparently, there's no way
to get electricity to the beach.
Copy !req
191. Why am I just hearing about this now?
Copy !req
192. Wha… You know, this-this was Patrici…
Where-Where is she?
Copy !req
193. Well, I think she's pretty caught up
in her cocktail hour,
Copy !req
194. but I radioed Garrett
to have him hook us up
Copy !req
195. to the marina electrical via converter,
and he's on the way.
Copy !req
196. How fucking long is that gonna take?
Copy !req
197. No rush, Garrett. Take your time.
Copy !req
198. He's-He's-He's riding a bicycle?
Copy !req
199. Jesus Christ.
Copy !req
200. Oh, he stopped.
Copy !req
201. Oh, no, no, no. Don't-Don't-Don't…
Copy !req
202. Oh… Oh, no.
Copy !req
203. Oh, for fuck's sake.
Copy !req
204. Don't bring the bike back!
Copy !req
205. Okay.
Copy !req
206. - It's working? Oh.
- Yeah.
Copy !req
207. Thank you. Thank you. Thanks…
Copy !req
208. Hello, everyone.
Copy !req
209. Hello.
Copy !req
210. It's not working.
Copy !req
211. Um…
Copy !req
212. It is my… It is my honor…
It's not working.
Copy !req
213. I can hear it.
Copy !req
214. Hello, everyone!
Copy !req
215. Um, as mayor, it is my honor
to-to keep this tradition alive.
Copy !req
216. Um, I would like to welcome
all our new friends joining us this year.
Copy !req
217. So here's to a-a-a safe
and spectacular summer.
Copy !req
218. I officially, uh, open the ocean!
Copy !req
219. Here we go.
Copy !req
220. Oh, God!
Copy !req
221. Hey. Come on.
Copy !req
222. Hey. It's all right, buddy.
Copy !req
223. Oh, Zenith. Cool.
Copy !req
224. Are you gonna tell me
what the fuck you're doing in my house?
Copy !req
225. I just thought I'd check in.
Copy !req
226. Check in. Wellness check?
Copy !req
227. Okay.
Copy !req
228. Why don't you just tell me what finally
made you able to ring my doorbell?
Copy !req
229. Have you ever heard of a hag?
Copy !req
230. Specifically one that scratches you
and then tracks you down?
Copy !req
231. Every sailor knows the story of the hag.
Copy !req
232. Oh.
Copy !req
233. I don't-I don't understand.
How do you die?
Copy !req
234. She crawls into your bed
and sits on your face.
Copy !req
235. I can't believe I let you
into my head again.
Copy !req
236. - Goddamn it.
- Wait, Tom. Tom!
Copy !req
237. When did she get you?
Copy !req
238. Doesn't matter.
Copy !req
239. Find a chest,
lock yourself in it from the inside.
Copy !req
240. - A chest?
- Yeah. Her scratch paralyzes you.
Copy !req
241. You'll get tired.
Copy !req
242. By tonight,
you won't be able to lift a finger.
Copy !req
243. Now, you stay in there for 72 hours.
Copy !req
244. Till the wound heals,
then she can't track you no more.
Copy !req
245. Otherwise, she'll hunt you down.
Copy !req
246. Ah.
Copy !req
247. Hello, Gil. PJ.
Copy !req
248. - What's up.
- Hey.
Copy !req
249. Hey, they're going to Shawn's house
to stay over.
Copy !req
250. You're grounded. You're not
even supposed to have friends here.
Copy !req
251. Oh, yeah.
Copy !req
252. Yeah.
Copy !req
253. By the way, some lady named Marissa called
Copy !req
254. and said that she's going
to the Driftwood now if you're free.
Copy !req
255. Whoa. Who's the lucky lady, Mr. Loftis?
Copy !req
256. She's a friend, PJ.
Copy !req
257. Um, hey.
I could-I could…
Copy !req
258. I could go to Shawn's house to just…
…play a game
Copy !req
259. with some friends or something,
if you're out of the house.
Copy !req
260. And-And you won't be going out
until all hours?
Copy !req
261. This-This is a sleepover, um… pa-party?
Copy !req
262. Yes, it's a, uh, sleepover party. Yes.
Copy !req
263. Okay.
Copy !req
264. Okay, but-but please don't do that thing
Copy !req
265. where you tell me
you're staying at Shawn's
Copy !req
266. and then tell Shawn's parents you're
staying here. Just stay at Shawn's,
Copy !req
267. all right? I'm trusting you.
Copy !req
268. Yes, of course.
Copy !req
269. We're honest with each other.
Copy !req
270. Right?
Copy !req
271. Dude, your dad's gonna get
his dick wet.
Copy !req
272. Wha-What?
Copy !req
273. I'm so sorry…
…that our food is taking so long.
Copy !req
274. Oh, my God. You hate this woman.
Copy !req
275. No, no, I don't. I swear, I don't.
Copy !req
276. But if I'd known Kathy
was working the Driftwood tonight,
Copy !req
277. I would have just canceled.
Copy !req
278. Really?
Copy !req
279. - Not even a relocation.
- No, call it right off.
Copy !req
280. I'm… I'm not a monster.
Copy !req
281. - Uh! No, I'm not…
- Mm-hmm.
Copy !req
282. …but I've been watching her
read her paperback all night.
Copy !req
283. Well, she deserves it.
Copy !req
284. Oh.
Copy !req
285. Thank you, Kathy.
Copy !req
286. She's my best friend.
Copy !req
287. You absolutely did not order that.
Copy !req
288. Yeah, I ordered a sundae.
Copy !req
289. I know you did.
Copy !req
290. Wow.
Copy !req
291. So, do you go out on a lot of dates?
Copy !req
292. As, you know,
Copy !req
293. the mayor.
Copy !req
294. - Well, not since Kathy and I split.
- Mmm.
Copy !req
295. It's not a large dating pool.
Copy !req
296. But you were married, right?
Copy !req
297. Yes.
Copy !req
298. How long ago did you separate?
Copy !req
299. Uh, we… we didn't separate.
Copy !req
300. Um, she passed away.
Copy !req
301. Oh, I'm so sorry.
Copy !req
302. Long time ago.
Copy !req
303. Complications from childbirth.
Copy !req
304. - Hey, squad.
- Oh.
Copy !req
305. - How do you feel about dessert?
- Could you just give us a-a minute?
Copy !req
306. Oh, sure.
Copy !req
307. - I'm sorry.
- Oh, no, it's fine. It's fine.
Copy !req
308. I mean, it's just been the two
of us for the most part,
Copy !req
309. and we've gotten by fine.
Copy !req
310. I can't imagine what that must have
been like, all on your own.
Copy !req
311. To just lose someone like that.
Copy !req
312. That's awful.
Copy !req
313. Oh, my God.
Copy !req
314. - What?
- I have sunset cocktails.
Copy !req
315. Oh, do you have to go?
Copy !req
316. Uh, well, I think my colleague, Patricia,
would bring a gun to work if I didn't.
Copy !req
317. - Oh.
- I'm sorry.
Copy !req
318. It's okay.
Copy !req
319. Did you wanna come?
Copy !req
320. Is there somewhere else we could go?
Copy !req
321. It's just this is nice.
I'd love to keep talking.
Copy !req
322. Maybe we could go to your house?
Copy !req
323. Oh.
Copy !req
324. I'm sorry, is that weird? I'm sorry.
Copy !req
325. - Um—
- I'm sorry.
Copy !req
326. I swear, I don't usually invite myself
over to a man's house.
Copy !req
327. No, no, of course. Uh, it's just, um…
Copy !req
328. Tonight's not the best.
Copy !req
329. Yeah. No, I get it.
Copy !req
330. Wait a second.
Copy !req
331. You've never been to Boston?
Copy !req
332. - That's insane.
- No, no, no.
Copy !req
333. I mean, I have, but yeah,
these guys have never left the island.
Copy !req
334. What? You've never even left the island?
Copy !req
335. No way.
Copy !req
336. You guys do this shit in Boston?
Copy !req
337. Yes, we do that in Boston.
Copy !req
338. Reverend Bryce?
Copy !req
339. There is evil here.
Copy !req
340. Well, Tom.
Copy !req
341. I don't know where you are,
but I am at the event…
Copy !req
342. that you said you would be at!
Copy !req
343. Loftis, pick up.
Copy !req
344. If she's not inside yet,
she's gonna find a way.
Copy !req
345. You won't be able to fight her off…
Copy !req
346. Hello?
Copy !req
347. Hi, it's me.
Copy !req
348. We took a shot and they dropped me off.
Copy !req
349. H-How did you know where I live?
Copy !req
350. Someone
from your office told me.
Copy !req
351. I-I haven't seen any of your friends and…
Copy !req
352. and n-no one in town has mentioned
anything about a bachelorette party.
Copy !req
353. Oh.
Copy !req
354. I mean, you can meet them tomorrow
if you want.
Copy !req
355. Aren't you going to let me in?
Copy !req
356. Why are you asking like that?
Copy !req
357. Like what?
Copy !req
358. Okay, I think I am getting
mixed signals here.
Copy !req
359. Can we just talk?
Copy !req
360. No.
Copy !req
361. No, I-I-I know what you are.
Copy !req
362. - Well, that was humiliating.
- Why? What happened?
Copy !req
363. Ow, shit.
Copy !req
364. Why are you so groggy?
Copy !req
365. I don't know.
Copy !req
366. I thought you went to work.
Copy !req
367. Not yet.
Copy !req
368. Thank you.
Copy !req
369. You're welcome.
