BAYWATCH

[MYSTERIOUS MUSIC PAYING]

"ECLIPSE"

MORNING, KIRBY.

HEY, EDGAR. WHERE'VE YOU BEEN?

I AM ON TIME,
AND DON'T CALL ME THAT.

HEY, I OILED THE HINGES
ON THE FLAPS.

GREAT.

STRAIGHTENED OUT
THE FIRST AID KIT.

NO REASON WHY WE CAN'T KEEP
THINGS ORDERLY AROUND HERE.

AND THAT WE'RE GETTING LOW
ON COMPRESSES, BY THE WAY.

I'LL ORDER SOME MORE.

I ALREADY DID.

-HEY, EDGAR--
-I WARNED YOU ABOUT THAT.

DO YOU THINK WE'RE GONNA HAVE
ANY RESCUES TODAY?

YOU GOT TO BE KIDDING ME.

WATER'S 52 DEGREES.
YOU'D HAVE TO BE CRAZY TO GO IN.

EDGAR, YOU ARE NOT GOING TO
BELIEVE WHAT I SAW THIS MORNING.

LET ME GUESS.
YOU SAW A LITTLE MERMAID.

WELL, CLOSE.

I SAW THIS CHICK IN A NIGHTGOWN
RUNNING THROUGH THE SURF.

UH-HUH.

A LONG WHITE NIGHTGOWN,
KIND OF OLD-FASHIONED TYPES.

YOU SURE IT WASN'T THE OLD LADY
WHO ESCAPED FROM THE ASYLUM,

THE ONE WE'RE SUPPOSED
TO LOOK OUT FOR?

THAT WAS NO OLD LADY.

THIS CHICK HAD LONG BLONDE HAIR,
HAD THIS LAVENDER RIBBON IN IT.

AND WHEN I YELLED TO HER,
SHE ACTED LIKE SHE WAS

SCARED OR SOMETHING,
JUST KEPT RUNNING.

WHY DIDN'T YOU TRY AND FIND OUT
WHAT SHE WAS SCARED OF?

I WAS GOING TO, BUT BY THE TIME
I WENT IN FOR MY RESCUE KIT,

SHE HAD JUST DISAPPEARED
INTO THIN AIR.

IS IT OKAY IF I TAKE
A PATROL UP THE BEACH?

I MIGHT RUN ONTO SOMETHING.

BE MY GUEST.

AND INTO THE ZONE--

SORRY ABOUT THAT, HOBIE.

I'LL GO GET IT.

THERE YOU'RE GUYS,
I'LL BE BACK IN A MINUTE.

RAMS

HI, KATIE.
WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?

KATIE, WHAT'S THE MATTER?

SOMETIMES I WISH
I COULD JUST WALK AWAY

AND DISAPPEAR
AND NEVER COME BACK.

COME ON, KATIE.

WHAT WOULD YOU KNOW ABOUT IT?

KATIE!

[DOG BARKING]

OKAY, CAREFUL.

WHAT ARE YOU GONNA DO
WITH THIS THING?

THIS THING IS A PRICELESS RELIC.

YEAH, IT'S A RELIC, ALL RIGHT.

THEY HAVEN'T MADE THOSE SUITS
IN OVER 50 YEARS.

TRY A HUNDRED.

WELL, THEY'RE THE EARLIEST
DIVING OUTFITS EVER MADE.

IT WAS WORN BY THE FIRST HELMET
DIVER EVER TO EXPLORE

THE GULF OF MEXICO,
RANDALL HUDSPETH.

-NO WAY, NOT RANDALL HUDSPETH.
-HUDSPETH?

ALL RIGHT,
YOU WANT TO LAUGH, YOU GUYS.

IT WAS RANDALL HUDSPETH
WHO FIRST TAUGHT MARTY LANDERS,

WHO TAUGHT GEORGE WEST,

WHO TAUGHT LOGAN HARPER
HOW TO DIVE.

AND WHO WAS LOGAN HARPER?

MY NAVY DIVING INSTRUCTOR.

GUYS, THERE'S A LOT OF HISTORY
BEHIND THIS THING.

LOOK, IT EVEN CAME WITH
THE ORIGINAL HAND PUMP HERE.

HUH!

[PHONE RINGING]

HELLO?

[OPERATOR]
EDDIE'S ON THE LINE, SIR.

YEAH, PUT HIM THROUGH.

HEY, EDDIE, WHAT'S UP?

HEY, MITCH. HAVE YOU SEEN KIRBY?

NO, WHY?

WELL, HE TOOK A PATROL

ABOUT AN HOUR AND A HALF AGO,
AND I HAVEN'T SEEN HIM SINCE.

CHECKED WITH THE COUPLE
OF OTHER TOWERS,

AND THEY
HAVEN'T SEEN HIM EITHER.

OKAY, SIT TIGHT.

I'LL SEND SOMEONE TO HELP YOU
LOOK FOR HIM.

YEAH.

I WANNA KILL HIM.

HE'S PROBABLY UP HERE LOOKING
FOR THE LADY IN THE NIGHTGOWN.

WAIT, UP HERE?

THAT'S A LITTLE BIT
OUT OF OUR JURISDICTION.

WELL, HE WAS HALLUCINATING.

THAT'S WHAT HE GETS
FOR SHOWING UP SO EARLY.

HEY, CORT, LOOK.

GO OVER THERE, SLOW DOWN.

[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC PLAYING]

LOS ANGELES COUNTY
BEACHES & HARBORS

[CORT] OH, NO.

[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC PLAYING]

YES, SIR.

NO, NO, WE UNDERSTAND
THE PROCEDURES, WE'RE READY.

JUST LET US KNOW WHEN.

THANKS, SCOTT.

THERE'S GOING TO BE AN INFORMAL
ENQUIRY INTO KIRBY'S DEATH.

SUCH A GOOFBALL, MAN.

HE DIDN'T DESERVE IT.

EDDIE, I HEARD, I AM SORRY.

OH, WELL, I SHOULD'VE KEPT
A CLOSER EYE ON HIM.

IT'S NOT YOUR FAULT.
PLEASE DON'T BLAME YOURSELF.

STILL SHOULD'VE CALLED HIM
IN SOONER.

I WAS JUST TOO HARD ON THE GUY.

EDDIE, THERE'S GOT TO BE
SOME EXPLANATION.

HE KNEW THAT STRETCH
OF THE BEACH WAS DANGEROUS.

WHY DID HE GO IN?

YOU KNOW, HE--

HE WAS ACTING A LITTLE WEIRD.

HE TOLD ME THAT HE SAW THIS LADY
IN A WHITE NIGHTGOWN

RUNNING THROUGH THE SURF
WITH LONG BLONDE HAIR.

NOW, I WAS, UH, I WAS WONDERING

MAYBE SOME OF THE GUYS
STAGED IT TO PUT HIM ON.

THAT'S FUNNY.

MITCH, YOU REMEMBER
ABOUT 10 OR 12 YEARS GO,

THERE WAS THIS OTHER LIFEGUARD
WHO DROWNED.

HE HE'D BEEN TALKING
ABOUT SEEING SOME GIRL

WHO WAS RUNNING ALONG THE BEACH
IN A LONG WHITE NIGHTGOWN.

STRANGE COINCIDENCE, HUH?

HI.

HI. COME HERE.

HERE'S YOUR NEW
KIDS ON THE BLOCK ALBUM.

SORRY, I COULDN'T
RETURN IT SOONER.

THAT'S OKAY,
I FORGOT YOU HAD IT.

I COULDN'T THINK
OF ANY OTHER REASON

WHY YOU WERE SO MAD AT ME.

I DIDN'T MEAN
TO TAKE IT OUT ON YOU.

WE'RE GETTING RID OF ROCKY.

YOUR DOG, HOW COME?

HE BIT THE LANDLORD, NOT HARD,

BUT MR. BARR SAYS EITHER WE
EVICT ROCKY OR HE EVICTS US.

MY PARENTS PUT AN AD
IN THE PAPER THIS MORNING.

IT'S TOUGH.

WANT TO GO FOR A WALK
OR SOMETHING?

I'D BETTER NOT, SOMEBODY
MIGHT CALL ABOUT THE AD.

BUT THANKS ANYWAY.

ALL RIGHT.
THEN I'LL SEE YOU LATER.

HANG IN THERE.

[OMINOUS MUSIC PLAYING]

HEY!

HEY! HEY, WAIT! WAIT!

[FOGHORN SOUND]

THE CORONER'S REPORT
IS VERY CLEAR.

DEATH BY DROWNING.

APPARENTLY THERE WAS NO OTHER

PHYSICAL CONDITION
THAT MIGHT HAVE CONTRIBUTED.

WHAT'S YOUR OPINION
OF THIS, EDDIE?

KIRBY WAS TRIGGER HAPPY.

HE COULDN'T WAIT TO MAKE A SAVE.

I DON'T KNOW, HE MUST'VE SEEN
SOMETHING AND WENT AFTER IT.

WHAT DO YOU THINK HE SAW?

I HAVE NO IDEA.

TELL ME ABOUT
THE WOMAN IN THE SURF.

I TOLD MITCH EVERYTHING I KNOW.

WHAT WAS
KIRBY'S MENTAL CONDITION LIKE

LAST TIME YOU SAW HIM?

WELL, IF YOU'RE ASKING ME
IF I THINK HE WAS CRAZY,

NO.

NO, I DON'T.

IN FACT, I--

I SAW HER MYSELF LAST NIGHT
WHEN I WAS LOCKING UP.

YOU MEAN YOU THINK YOU SAW HER?

NO.

NO, NO, I KNOW I SAW HER.

SHE WAS WEARING A WHITE GOWN,
JUST LIKE KIRBY DESCRIBED.

EDDIE, THE LIGHT'S PRETTY TRICKY
AT SUNSET.

I MEAN, THERE WERE
A LOT OF OTHER LIFEGUARDS

ON DUTY OUT THERE.

IF SHE WAS REAL, I THINK
ONE OF THEM WOULD'VE SEEN HER.

YEAH, YOU'RE RIGHT.
YOU'RE RIGHT, I AM CRAZY.

I DIDN'T SEE HER.

I DIDN'T SEE HER
AND I DIDN'T HEAR A FOGHORN.

FOGHORN?

YEAH.

EDDIE, THERE ARE NO FOGHORNS
WITHIN 20 MILES OF HERE.

YEAH, WELL, I HEARD IT.

LOOK, I KNOW YOU'RE TAKING
KIRBY'S DEATH KIND OF HARD.

NOT THAT HARD.

WELL, THERE'S NO QUESTION OF
ANYONE HOLDING YOU ACCOUNTABLE.

KIRBY'S DEATH
WAS AN UNEXPLAINABLE ACCIDENT

BUT I WANT YOU
TO TAKE A WEEK OFF,

TAKE SOME TIME
TO GET YOURSELF TOGETHER.

I MEAN, AFTER ALL WE CAN'T HAVE
OUR LIFEGUARDS HEARING

OR SEEING THINGS ON THE BEACH.

WAIT A MINUTE.

WAIT A MINUTE.
I DON'T BELIEVE THIS.

THIS INQUIRY WAS SUPPOSED TO BE
SO I GIVE YOU THE FACTS, RIGHT?

NOW, I GIVE YOU THE FACTS,
AND YOU DON'T BELIEVE ME?

EDDIE, I'D LIKE YOU TO HAVE
A TALK WITH DR. WHITE,

-THE DEPARTMENT'S PSYCHOLOGIST.
-NO WAY, MAN.

I THINK YOU NEED
TO SEE A SHRINK, MAN.

EDDIE, IT'S ENOUGH.

MITCH, I WANT YOU TO SET UP
THE APPOINTMENTS.

EDDIE, IT'S FOR YOUR OWN GOOD.

I CAN'T BELIEVE
CORT PAID 400 DOLLARS

FOR AN OLD RUBBER SUIT
AND A RUSTY HELMET.

IT'S NOT RUSTY, CRAIG.
IT'S PERFECTLY INTACT.

IT'S MUSEUM QUALITY, GINA,

AND IT'S WORTH
TWICE WHAT HE PAID FOR IT.

WELL, LOOK, IT MEANS SOMETHING
TO HIM, OKAY?

IF HE WANTED IT,
I'M GLAD HE BOUGHT IT.

WELL, WE GET TO HELP HIM SET UP
HIS SHOP TOMORROW.

AT LEAST I CAN WORK THERE
FOR A WEEK, HUH?

WELL, GIVE OLD
RANDALL HUDSPETH MY BEST.

MORE COFFEE?

[SHAUNI] NO THANKS, CRAIG.

[EDDIE] YEAH, SURE!

I KNOW HOW YOU FEEL EDDIE, BUT
YOU COULD USE A BREAK RIGHT NOW.

YOU THINK I NEED
TO SEE A SHRINK, TOO?

IT'S NOTHING TO BE ASHAMED OF.

DROP IT. JUST DROP IT.

I WANNA KNOW
ABOUT THE WOMAN IN THE SURF.

WHY? NOBODY BELIEVES IT.

I BELIEVE IT. WHAT WAS SHE?
BRUNETTE, BLONDE, WHAT?

BLONDE.

SHE HAD LONG BLOND HAIR

WITH A LAVENDER RIBBON.

AND SHE WAS WEARING
A LONG WHITE NIGHTGOWN.

HMM, IT SOUNDS VERY FAMILIAR
TO ME FOR SOME REASON.

SHE WAS RUNNING
LIKE SHE WAS IN TROUBLE.

WHAT I DON'T UNDERSTAND IS,

KIRBY SAW HER IN THE MORNING,
AND YOU SAW HER AT SUNDOWN.

SO, WHAT WAS SHE DOING ALL DAY,
RUNNING AROUND IN HER NIGHTIE?

YOU THINK I'M MAKING THIS UP?

EDDIE, OF COURSE NOT.
IT JUST SOUNDS WEIRD.

YOU DON'T BELIEVE ME.

-I THOUGHT YOU OF ALL PEOPLE.
-EDDIE!

WE'RE JUST TRYING TO UNDERSTAND.

YEAH, WELL, I DON'T NEED
YOUR KIND OF UNDERSTANDING.

[DOOR CLOSES]

[CORT] I CAN'T BELIEVE
MY DIVING SUIT'S GONE.

IT WAS RIGHT HERE.

YEAH, I KNOW, I HELPED YOU
SET IT UP, REMEMBER?

YEAH, BUT COULDN'T
VERY WELL WALK AWAY?

YOU DON'T THINK SOMEBODY
WOULD RIP IT OFF, DO YOU?

IN BROAD DAYLIGHT,
ARE YOU KIDDING?

YEAH, WELL,
IT'D BE PRETTY EASY TO PULL UP

AND THROW THAT STUFF
IN THE BACK OF A TRUCK.

OH, WHERE THE HELL
WERE YOU, HUH?

I CAN'T BE INSIDE
RUNNING YOUR BUSINESS

AND OUTSIDE BABYSITTING
SOME STUPID RUBBER SUIT.

RIGHT. OKAY, OKAY, YEAH.

THIS IS A GAG, RIGHT?

[LAUGHING]

YOU GUYS ARE PUTTING ME ON.

IT'S OKAY, EDDIE,
A JOKE'S A JOKE.

JUST LEVEL WITH ME, ALL RIGHT.

CORT.

SORRY, MAN.

OKAY. I'LL CALL THE COPS.

[LIVELY MUSIC PLAYING]

[DOG PURRING]

[DOG WHINING]

[DOG BARKING]

HEY, ROCK,
COME ON HERE, WILL YOU?

GOOD DOG.

[DOG PURRING]

GET IT, GO GET IT.

GO GET IT.

DID YOU EVER HAVE A DOG?

ONCE, HIS NAME WAS COOKIE.

HE GOT OLD AND DIED.

I ALWAYS THOUGHT THAT IT WAS
KIND OF STRANGE.

HE WAS HARDLY
ANY OLDER THAN I WAS.

WE'VE HAD ROCKY
SINCE I WAS IN FIRST GRADE.

HE'S MY VERY BEST FRIEND.
I THINK I'LL DIE WITHOUT HIM.

HOW COME HE BIT THE LANDLORD?

MR. BARR'S MEAN,
THAT'S HOW COME.

MY FATHER TRIED TO TALK TO HIM.

HE THREATENED
TO CALL THE POLICE.

GEEZ, I'D MOVE.

WE WOULD IF WE COULD AFFORD IT.

I DON'T WANT TO GO HOME.

WELL, I DON'T BLAME YOU.

COME ON, ROCKY, COME.

[DR. WHITE] YOU DON'T LOOK
VERY COMFORTABLE.

I'M NOT.

WHY DO YOU THINK
THEY SENT YOU HERE?

LET'S NOT PLAY DUMB, OKAY.

YOU KNOW WHY I AM HERE.

IT'S IN SOME REPORT
ON YOUR DESK.

MY PARTNER DROWNED.

I FOUND HIM,
HELPED PULL HIM OUT OF WATER.

END OF STORY.

THE WOMAN IN THE SURF.
SOME SORT OF APPARITION?

YEAH, YEAH.

IF YOU DIDN'T SEE HER YOURSELF,

I GUESS THAT MAKES IT
AN APPARITION.

WHAT INTERESTS ME IS THIS.

AFTER HIS DEATH,
YOU HAD THE SAME SORT OF FANTASY

THAT YOUR PARTNER HAD.

IT'S AS IF YOU WERE TRYING
TO KEEP A PART OF HIM ALIVE.

I'M SORRY HE DIED.

BUT, WE WEREN'T
BUDDIES OR ANYTHING.

[CHUCKLING]

I DIDN'T EVEN LIKE HIM.

WELL, SOMETIMES
THAT MAKES IT WORSE.

YOU DIDN'T WANT HIS COMPANY,
HE VANISHED FROM YOUR LIFE.

MAYBE YOU FEEL RESPONSIBLE
FOR HIS DEATH.

THAT'S A BUNCH OF CRAP.

LONNY DROWNED
BECAUSE HE WENT INTO THE WATER

SHE HAD NO BUSINESS GOING INTO.

WHO'S LONNY?

WHAT?

YOUR PARTNER'S NAME WAS KIRBY.

YOU CALLED HIM LONNY.

SO I MADE A MISTAKE, LET'S
NOT MAKE A BIG DEAL OUT OF IT.

WAS HE A FRIEND OF YOURS?

NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS.

WHERE IS HE NOW?

WHERE IS HE NOW?

SHE.

A GIRLFRIEND?

I DON'T WANT TO TALK ABOUT IT
ANYMORE, ALL RIGHT?

LOOK, EDDIE, DON'T KEEP IT IN.

GO TO HELL.

ST MATTHEWS THRIFT SHOP

[GINA] I THINK
THIS IS GOING TO DO IT.

OH, DON'T LAUGH AT THE GRAPES,
THEY ARE FOR MY MOTHER-IN-LAW.

FINE, I'LL JUST
PUT THIS IN THE BAG.

OKAY, THANKS.

SUITS

[OMINOUS MUSIC PLAYING]

[SIREN WAILING]

JUST ARRIVED AT THE PIER,
I'M CHECKING IT OUT.

LIFEGUARD

HELP. MY FRIEND, YOU GOT
TO HELP HIM, HURRY, PLEASE.

THAT'S WHAT WE'RE HERE FOR,
MY MAN.

CALM DOWN.
TELL US WHAT HAPPENED.

HE WAS DIVING OFF
THE END OF THE PIER.

LOOK, WE CAN'T GET HIM OUT
OF THE WATER NOW.

YOU'VE GOT TO HELP HIM.
HE'S OVER HERE.

[INDISTINCT CHATTER]

WHERE DID YOU GET THE RIG?

WE BORROWED IT.

SURE YOU DID.

COMING THROUGH.

YOU'RE NOT GONNA LIKE THIS.

I'LL TALK TO YOU GUYS LATER.

WHATEVER YOU DO,
DON'T STOP PUMPING.

[TENSE MUSIC PLAYING]

[SIREN WAILING]

EXCUSE ME.

WHAT'S GOING ON?
WHERE'RE THE LIFEGUARDS?

DOWN HERE.

WHAT'S TAKING THEM SO LONG?

THERE'S NOT EVEN
A SIGNAL ANYMORE.

[TENSE MUSIC PLAYING]

[MAN] YEAH, THEY'RE COMING BACK.

COMING THROUGH, COMING THROUGH.

MAKE WAY.

ALL RIGHT,
GIVE US SOME ROOM PLEASE.

ALL RIGHT, LET'S GO.

YOU'RE ALL RIGHT?

[MAN] HEY, GOOD JOB, YOU TWO.

LET US--

I GOT HIS HEAD.

HEY, HEY, HEY.
WHAT'S THE MATTER?

I MEAN, AT LEAST YOU GOT
YOUR DIVE SUIT BACK.

YEAH, RANDALL HUDSPETH
WOULD NOT BE HAPPY.

YEAH, BUT LOGAN HARPER
WOULD BE PROUD.

THAT'S HER.

THAT'S THE SAME GIRL.

[GINA] IT'S AMAZING, ISN'T IT?

IT'S JUST COINCIDENCE.

YOU'RE NOT GOING TO HANG THAT
IN HERE, ARE YOU?

HONEY, THAT'S NOT THE POINT.

THIS PROVES
THAT THERE'S SOMETHING

TO WHAT EDDIE'S BEEN
TRYING TO TELL US.

EDDIE, HAVE YOU EVER BEEN
TO THAT THRIFT SHOP?

YEAH, YEAH,
I WAS THERE WITH GINA ONCE.

WHAT'RE YOU SAYING,
THAT HE SAW THIS THERE?

YOU DID.

NO WAY.

NO WAY, I'VE NEVER SEEN
THIS PAINTING BEFORE,

BUT I SWEAR TO YOU,
THAT'S THE SAME GIRL.

CAN'T BE.

LOOK, THIS IS PAINTED IN 1923.

HMM, IT'S GOT A TITLE.

"LIGHTHOUSE AT DE VARGAS POINT."

THAT'S RIGHT ABOVE BAYWATCH.

YES, THAT'S REAL CLOSE
TO WHERE WE FOUND KIRBY.

YEAH, EXCEPT OUR DE VARGAS POINT
DOESN'T HAVE A LIGHTHOUSE.

SO, FIND OUT
IF THERE EVER WAS ONE.

LOOK, I KNOW THIS IS WEIRD,
BUT I'M NOT GOING TO TAKE

THIS THING SERIOUSLY
AND MAKE IT EVEN WEIRDER.

WHY SHOULD YOU? NOBODY ELSE HAS.

[DOORBELL RINGING]

HI.

CAN I COME IN?

YEAH.

I WAS JUST MAKING
A TUNA SANDWICH, YOU WANT ONE?

UH, NO, THANKS.

HOBIE, I NEED
TO STAY HERE TONIGHT.

HOW COME?

THEY'RE GONNA PUT
ROCKY TO SLEEP.

YOUR FOLKS?

THEY CAN'T FIND
ANYBODY TO TAKE HIM.

I HEARD THEM TALKING.
THEY DON'T KNOW I KNOW.

I GUESS IT'D BE OKAY
FOR YOU TO STAY,

BUT I'LL HAVE TO CALL MY DAD.

NO, HE'LL JUST CALL MY MOTHER.

PLEASE, HOBIE, YOU SAID
YOU'D BE MY FRIEND.

DE VARGAS POINT
NO SWIMMING DANGEROUS CURRENTS

[FOGHORN SOUND]

[FOGHORN SOUND]

WAIT!

[MYSTERIOUS MUSIC PLAYING]

[TENSE MUSIC PLAYING]

WHAT ARE YOU DOING IN HERE?

NOTHING.

NOTHING?

NOTHING. DE VARGAS.

WHAT'S SO SPECIAL
ABOUT DE VARGAS POINT?

GINA BOUGHT A PAINTING

OF A LIGHTHOUSE ON FIRE
AT DE VARGAS POINT.

I WAS JUST CURIOUS IF THERE
EVER WAS A LIGHTHOUSE THERE.

THERE WAS.
SAYS IT BURNED DOWN IN 1923.

EDDIE SAYS THE GIRL
IN GINA'S PAINTING

IS THE SAME GIRL HE SAW
ON THE SURF THE OTHER DAY.

WHAT'S GOING ON?

HI.

HI.

YOU HAVEN'T BEEN
RETURNING MY PHONE CALLS.

I'VE BEEN BUSY.

STILL MAD ABOUT THE OTHER NIGHT?

I JUST, YOU KNOW,
I JUST HATE BEING OFF WORK.

YOU WANT TO TALK ABOUT IT?

THERE IS NOTHING TO TALK ABOUT.

HEY, I STOPPED BY GINA'S.

SHE SHOWED ME THAT PAINTING,

WITH THE LIGHTHOUSE ON FIRE
AND THAT FUNNY MOON.

IT'S SO WEIRD--

SHAUNI.

I DON'T THINK WE SHOULD SEE
EACH OTHER RIGHT NOW.

EDDIE YOU ARE JUST UPSET.

I'LL SEE YOU, OKAY?

[MITCH] HOBIE!

IN THE CLOSET, HURRY.

UNDER THE BED, UNDER THE BED.
GO, GO, GO, GO, GO.

[MITCH] HEY.

WHAT'S GOING ON?
DIDN'T YOU HEAR ME?

-NO.
-DINNER.

[DOG WHINING]

WHAT WAS THAT?

IT WAS ME.

YOU'RE PRACTICING TO BE A DOG?

YEAH,

[IMITATES GROWL]

NOT BAD, HUH?

DOWNSTAIRS.

COME ON, ROCKY.

OH, BY THE WAY,
KATIE'S MOM CALLED,

SAID SHE WAS WORRIED
ABOUT KATIE.

SHE DIDN'T COME HOME
FROM SCHOOL TODAY.

SHE IS OKAY.
SHE IS STAYING WITH A FRIEND.

OH.

DAD I HAVE BEEN THINKING,

IT WOULD BE NICE
TO HAVE A DOG AGAIN.

WE'VE BEEN
THROUGH ALL THAT BEFORE.

I KNOW, THERE IS TRAFFIC
AND WE DON'T HAVE A LOT OF ROOM,

BUT EVERY KID SHOULD HAVE A DOG.

AND LET'S FACE IT, I AM NOT
GONNA BE A KID MUCH LONGER.

YEAH, HOUSE RULES, WE DON'T LIKE
GUILT TRIPS ON EACH OTHER.

YOU DON'T MAKE ME FEEL
LIKE SIMON LEGREE,

AND I DON'T REMIND YOU
WHO FED THE DOG WE DID HAVE.

SO THE ANSWER'S NO?

FOR THE TIME BEING, NO.

WHAT'S THE ADDRESS AGAIN?

4238 CIVIL STREET.

YEAH, THIS WHOLE THING'S A WILD
GOOSE CHASE, YOU KNOW THAT.

OH, WILL YOU GIVE ME A BREAK?

YOU HAVE TO ADMIT
YOU ARE JUST AS CURIOUS

ABOUT THIS WHOLE THING AS I AM.

HOW'D YOU FIND THIS GUY?

ESCUDERO'S
A PRETTY UNUSUAL NAME,

I CHECKED OUT THE PHONEBOOK
AND I GOT LUCKY.

NO QUESTION.

THIS IS MY FATHER'S WORK.

WHAT CAN YOU TELL US ABOUT IT?

THERE USED TO BE A LIGHTHOUSE
AT DE VARGAS POINT.

THE LIGHTHOUSE KEEPER
AND HIS WIFE LIVED THERE

WITH THEIR TWO YOUNG CHILDREN.

THE HUSBAND AND THEIR SON
WERE TO BURNT DEATH IN A FIRE.

THE DAUGHTER SURVIVED, BUT SHE
SUFFERED SEVERE MENTAL TRAUMA.

I DON'T THINK
SHE WAS EVER RIGHT.

WHAT ABOUT THE WIFE?

MELORA.

SHE WAS NEVER FOUND.

IT IS SAID SHE SET THE FIRE
AND ELOPED WITH HER LOVER.

IT WAS A VERY DRAMATIC STORY,

JUST SORT AROUND
WHICH LEGENDS OFTEN GROW.

I DON'T SEE
THE LOVER IN THE PAINTING.

MY FATHER NEVER
BELIEVED THAT STORY.

HE WAS CONVINCED
THE FIRE DROVE HER TO MADNESS,

THAT SHE LEAPED TO HER DEATH OFF
THE CLIFFS NEAR THE LIGHTHOUSE.

HE WAS OBSESSED WITH MELORA.

SHE WAS THE ONLY THING
HE PAINTED IN HIS LAST YEARS.

MY FATHER WAS
A VERY TALENTED ARTIST.

HE COULD HAVE BEEN GREAT,

BUT UNFORTUNATELY HE DIED YOUNG.

I'M SORRY.

IT WASN'T
WITHOUT A CERTAIN IRONY.

SEE, SHORTLY AFTER HE PAINTED
THIS, ON A NIGHT

MY AUNT'S ALWAYS REFER TO AS
LA NOCHE DE LA LUNA NEGRA,

THE NIGHT OF THE BLACK MOON,

HE WAS DROWNED OFF
DE VARGAS POINT.

[MYSTERIOUS MUSIC PLAYING]

[DOG WHINING]

GET UP, HOBIE,
YOU GOT SOME EXPLAINING TO DO.

IT'S OKAY, DAD, KATIE
JUST NEEDED A PLACE TO STAY.

YOU KNOW,
WHY DIDN'T I FIGURE THIS OUT?

I WONDERED
ABOUT THE CLOSED BEDROOM DOOR,

THE POUND OF HAMBURGER
THAT MYSTERIOUSLY DISAPPEARED,

THE EXTRA WET TOWELS
ON THE BATHROOM FLOOR.

I'M SORRY, MR. BUCHANNON,
I MEANT TO PICK THEM UP.

KATIE, THE POLICE
ARE LOOKING FOR YOU,

YOUR PARENTS
ARE WORRIED SICK ABOUT YOU.

DAD, THEY WERE GONNA
GET RID OF HER DOG.

ROCKY IS A GOOD DOG.

HE HARDLY BIT
THE LANDLORD AT ALL,

AND THE LANDLORD DESERVED IT.

SO WHEN YOU DECIDED
YOU WANTED ANOTHER DOG,

OBVIOUSLY THIS WAS THE DOG
YOU WERE TALKING ABOUT.

I COULDN'T TELL YOU,
I PROMISED KATIE.

YOU KIDS MADE
A BAD SITUATION EVEN WORSE.

GUYS, YOU CAN'T LIE AND SNEAK
YOUR WAY OUT OF TROUBLE.

WHY WEREN'T YOU UPFRONT WITH ME
IN THE FIRST PLACE?

I WOULD HAVE GONE
AND TALKED TO HER PARENTS.

IT WOULDN'T HAVE DONE ANY GOOD.

ROCKY WOULD HAVE BEEN DEAD
BY NOW.

WHAT DID YOU DO?
DID YOU BITE SOMEBODY?

OH LORD.

HE'D BE A GREAT WATCHDOG DAD.

IT WOULD ONLY BE
UNTIL WE CAN MOVE.

AND I'D FEED HIM THIS TIME,
I REALLY WOULD.

YOU PUT THAT IN WRITING?

GET OUT OF HERE.

THANK YOU, MR. BUCHANNON.

DID YOU HEAR THAT, ROCKY?
YOU CAN STAY.

YOU GET ON THE PHONE RIGHT NOW
AND CALL YOUR FOLKS.

TELL THEM I'M BRINGING YOU HOME.

[SHAUNI] IT'S OKAY,
YOU'RE GONNA BE OKAY.

OH, SO CLOSE.

I ALMOST HAD HER.

WHO? WHO DID YOU SEE?

IT'S ALL RIGHT.

AH, YOU WOULDN'T UNDERSTAND.

[CRAIG] WHAT HAPPENED?

DAMN IT, LONNY!

WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?
WHO'S LONNY?

LONNY WAS MY SISTER.

SHE WAS A COUPLE OF YEARS
YOUNGER THAN I WAS.

WE WERE PLAYING
IN A POOL IN PHILLY AND--

WE WEREN'T SUPPOSED
TO BE THERE. SHE FELL.

SHE FELL.

I COULDN'T EVEN TRY TO SAVE HER
BECAUSE I COULDN'T SWIM.

I COULDN'T SWIM.

DAMN.

[CRYING]

[SIREN WAILING]

[EDDIE] EXCUSE ME.

[SAD MUSIC PLAYING]

[MITCH] EDDIE, THE CORONER'S
OFFICE CALLED.

IT TURNS OUT THE OLD LADY
WHO DROWNED IN THE SURF

WAS ACTUALLY MELORA'S DAUGHTER.

I DID SOME CHECKING ON MY OWN.

THIS LADY HAS BEEN IN AND OUT

OF INSTITUTIONS
MOST OF HER LIFE.

SHE WAS JUST A KID
WHEN THE LIGHTHOUSE BURNED DOWN.

SHE WAS NEVER ABLE TO SHAKE IT.

SHE CLAIMS SHE WAS HAUNTED
BY HER MOTHER'S SPIRIT

AND THAT HER MOTHER
WAS INNOCENT OF SETTING THE FIRE

AND THAT SHE ACTUALLY DIED
TRYING TO GET HELP.

THERE WAS NO OLD LADY
THAT CLIMBED THAT CLIFF.

SHE INSISTED HER MOTHER
INHABITED HER BODY.

I MEAN, AT LEAST THAT WAS
THE EXCUSE SHE GAVE

WHEN SHE DRESSED UP
LIKE THAT AND RUN AWAY.

WHAT ABOUT KIRBY?

I DON'T KNOW.

MAYBE HE SAW THE OLD LADY
RUNNING THROUGH THE SURF

AND AS EAGER AS HE WAS,
GOT A LITTLE CARELESS.

I HEARD A FOGHORN.

MAYBE.

MAYBE THERE WAS JUST A SHIP
IN THE CHANNEL THAT NIGHT.

I DON'T KNOW ABOUT THAT ONE.

FOR MELORA?

AND LONNY AND KIRBY.

IT'S NOT MUCH
OF A MEMORIAL SERVICE.

IT'S NICE WAY TO SAY GOODBYE.

I'VE MISSED YOU.

I LOVE YOU.
