01x04 - A Strange Vessel

[bunniefuu]

You guys remember "Candle Cove"?

That show used to give me the worst nightmares.

It's back.

Kids will watch it just like we did.

These kids are hurting someone!

Hey, drop those knives!

[screaming] Mom!

Dane?

She stabbed him in his sleep.

Me and Eddie started playing cards one day.

And this one game went on and on.

There was no winner.

We want to know what you did and why you did it.

No!

Mike!

Have you lost your mind?

Jesus, Gary.

The last couple of years, Mike and I started emailing, texts.

It became important.

Lily.

It's my daughter.

How did you get here?

Look at me. Look at me.

How did you get here?

[whispering] How did you get here?

[thunder crashing]

Are you mad at Eddie about something?

All he wants to do is watch that show.

Do you think they're dead? Gene and them?

Our dad told us one time, if you die, you don't get buried right or cremated, then you can't rest.

Maybe they just ran away.

Can I show you something?

It's Pirate Percy.

Eddie made it the other night.

Don't tell him I showed you, okay?

[electronic warble, static crackling]

[adventurous music]

Ahoy, mates. What adventure awaits?

Do you sense it?

Something is coming.

A strange vessel is headed for the Cove.

Aunt Carol?

It's different.

What is?

Do you know where you are?

Home.

No, baby.

You're at your grandma Marla's house.

There's still no answer.

She's probably asleep.

Baby, where's our house, where you live with me and Mommy?

Lily, look at me. How did you get here?

I think you should let her sleep.

She's here.

Why is she there?

She showed up last night.

Wha... who brought her there?

I have no idea.

She won't say anything.

Well, let me talk to her.

She's sleeping. She's...

Erica, she's okay, though.

Mike, is there anything you're not telling me?

Oh, I'm telling you what I know.

I'll be on the next flight.

She's safe with me.

You know that, right?

Yeah, well, I'll be on the next flight.

So what'd you tell the kids?

That you're stuck at work.

You picked a really bad time to get yourself locked up.

I'm scared.

Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.

I want you to go home, and I want you to get my g*n.

What?

Keep it on you, just in case.

And if I'm wrong about Mike, then you don't use it.

Jess, please.

I'm scared too.

[cell phone buzzing]

Mike?

I need to ask you for a favor.

What is it?

[knock at door]

Sheriff?

Acting sheriff.

Still, you're the boss of me today.

I don't know why I said that.

What I meant to say was, I, uh, hope you like the mushrooms.

Oh, oh.

Those are from you?

Yeah.

Mycology's kind of my main hobby, so these are different varieties.

So there's a hen-of-the-wood, uh, some golden chanterelle, and two different types of shitake.

They're for cooking.

Hmm.

I could, uh... I could show you sometime.

Oh, that's sweet, but not...

No, it's okay. It's okay.

You know, I figured it'd be a no, but I... I just thought, you know, what the heck.

Looks like someone didn't listen at the sexual harassment seminar.

Okay, uh, I'm, uh...

I'm gonna go back to work now, just...

Lily, I want you to meet my friend Jessica.

Hi. I've heard a lot about you.
