"Ineffable loss, my friend." "A tremendous abduction from your world." "She's so beautiful." "I can't do it, I... can't, I can't do it." "I understand your pain, Joseph." "With that said, I wonder... is there a little more to speak of?" "She must have been extraordinary." "I-I don't have e-enough... air in my lungs... to describe her goodness." "Incredible." "Joseph... as you depicted, you seemed quite angry when it all happened." "Might I ask... did you in fact stop taking your medicine before her death?" "No." "Yeah." "I did." "I don't, I..." "I don't remember, I don't rightly remember." "I'm not takin' my medicine now though." "I know that." "Yes." "That would explain me." "I can help you remember everything if you'd like." "Not just Annabel." "I don't know if I hurt her... or not." "I can answer all your questions, Joseph." "One cold plunge, a small vow of courage." "Are you certain you won't join me?" "THE GHOST AND THE WHALE" "Subrip:" "Pix" "Hi, there." "What the hell was that?" "There's a murder." "Excuse me?" "A murder of crows." "Good luck, darling." "It okay, Melanie." "He's with me." "Thanks, Ms. Brenner." "Gosh!" "That was some sign." "Are you okay, man?" "What a welcome!" "Christ sake." "I'm sorry, Mr. Hale..." "I'm sorry, Mr. Hale, that was probably the wildest thing" "I've ever seen." "He thought your head was a freakin' nest." "Come on." "I'll show you the place." "What, what's that smell?" "Are you drinking?" "Just a little curry." "It helps me concentrate." "Well, it's a bit narrow for two, should you lead?" "No, I'm good if you're okay." "Okay." "Hey!" "It's very exciting that you're here to cover the birds." "People of Bodega, they take great pride in this production." "It's not everyday the penman strolls into town?" "Well..." "How did you hear about that?" "Come on." "A guy writes a similar article on human trafficking at 19 wins the Chancellor Award for it goes on to win a dozen more." "Junior Olympic sharpshooter?" "It's a big deal to people, Mr. Hale." "Well, I'm honored, Mitch, that you recognize that." "What do you do?" "Crab fishing in the winter." "If I get antsy, I'll hop a sailing a boat in June." "Home sweet home." "Straight through there, that's you." "I'm grateful." "This is..." "Love..." "Mitch, what are these?" "Yeah, that's a harpoon." "That's a flensing knife." "And this guy here, that's a-that's a hand lance there for whaling." "Yeah, they're a pass down." "Intense." ""'Tis the thing behind the mask I chiefly hate."

"It's good to see you." "What have you been up to?" "I'm showing this guy around town." "This is..." "Ed, this is..." "Hi." "Nice to meet you." "Nice to meet you." "Where you guys at?" "Okay, we are in the back." "So will you boys grab some drinks..." "You got it." "We all drink." "Yes, we do." "Alright." "Alright, I'll see you in a few." "Tom!" "Hey!" "What's goin' on?" "Glad to see you, man." "This is Ed Hale, this is the new tenant" "I was tellin' you about." "He's ready to rent for a few weeks." "Great." "Hey, Tom." "Hey, nice to meet you." "Nice to meet you too." "And this is my pain in the ass, my cross to bear." "My lovely wife, Devon." "Hi." "I see you've already met my fourth choice." "Fourth choice." "I thought I was one of the three." "She had another one there." "She's always angry." "What are you drinking, sir?" "I'll have a Dewars." "Okay." "Ice?" "Neat." "And, beer pack." "Anything you do on tap is fine." "I'll do the same, Devon." "I love this place on a Friday night." "Mitch." "Thank you..." "The ideas to write for those who'd write themselves."

"It's, approaching its semicentennial anniversary and, the paper I work for is, looking for an interesting spin." "The "San Francisco Noise."" "I thought that was an investigator magazine that's a... current affairs publications?" "It is." "It is." "It is." "We also have a large arts and media section and, it has been a..." "I believe it has been a real push lately for the old classics." "Well, where will you start?" "I was thinking of starting with the locals." "And, visiting the landmarks." "You know, uncovering all the facts all the fun facts and stuffs like that." "You just tell me if you need anything my church is right around the corner and the light is always on, okay?" "Alright." "Now, I've gotta make my rounds ahem, before I return." "Nice meeting you, Ed." "You too, father." "Take care." "Goodnight." "Hey, you know, what, another round does sound good, Anne, Ed?" "Yes." "Absolutely." "Definitely." "Yeah." "Thank you." "Thanks, Mitch." "So the interviews you make..." "I-I mean, conduct." "Um... would I..." "I'm sorry, I don't know what I'm saying." "A-are you interested in helping?" "I-I mean, I can do that." "Um, yeah, I mean, I'm always here and..." "I know everybody and practically everything and I've probably seen that movie a hundred times when I was a kid." "What I'm really looking for, Anne, is some information." "What kind of information?" "Well, can I trust you?" "Hello." "Hey." "Ruddy!" "It's a fuck..." "Do you hear me?" "Fucking idiot!" "I didn't hear." "Give me my fucking money for cigarettes." "Give me it." "Just hold the fuck on!" "Give it!" "Give it..." "Getting the fucking pay for you, bitch." "Give me a, give me your fiddle." "Give me your fiddle." "Whoo!" "Mop it up." "Mop it up." "You better fucking find a ride home." "Piece of..." "Hey, Dane." "Y'all settled in there?" "Hi, Anne." "Good to see you." "You look nice tonight." "Don't she look nice tonight, Dane?" "Feel like singing a song about her." "Dane, I'm at the bar, come on!" "God, that's fucking great." "Look at the shit." "Look at this." "The dead deer... walks at night." "The dead deer comes for you, Anne." "We were fucking driving down and Ruddi just boom, runs into this deer that just walked out there and then we had to pick it's fucking horns out of the grill." "Shit was crazy." "That is terrible, Dane." "Why did you bring it in here?" "Because it's cute." "Cute?" "Like you." "No." "Like you." "Stop." "Like you." "Stop it." "Like you." "Stop it." "Take your demons with ya!" "You're gonna pay for this, Tom, you old fucker!" "I'll rip you a new one, you little bitch." "Don't you think that we forgot how you piped up for that fucking killer." "Yeah, that's right." "Big fucking Tom!" "Nobody's keeping your fucking secrets!" "Yeah, that's right." "I know all your fucking secrets, Tom." "You know the fucking truth, all you fuckers!" "My brother, see now he's gettin' out soon, right?" "Little Jack." "That's funny." "It's just a big joke to you, ain't it?" "Yeah." "See how you're laughing when my brother gets out." "Yeah." "And this bar, you're done." "All you fuckers!" "You are fucked." "He's gonna fuck everything up." "Yeah, little rabbit son of a bitch." "Tell your rabbit, tell your rabbit little brother to bring it on." "Get the fuck off of me." "Now get out of my bar, boy." "Get out!" "You're bigger than him." "You go." "Tom, you can't just go around fucking assaulting good people." "Dane!" "Get the fuck out of my bar now." "Get out, you fucker." "Fuck out of here." "Move along!" "Next one's on the house, folks." "Happens." "It happens." "That didn't scare you off?" "No, it takes more than that." "Mr. Hawthorne, Ed Hale." ""San Francisco Noise."" "Mr. Hawthorne..." "Is there no merciful reprieve for good men on Earth's dry surface?" "I'm getting visits." "A reporter came here, said that he wanted to do a story on me." "On my side of what happened." "He says everybody in the town has talked about it and I have a right to do the same." "What do you think?" "That's curious." "I wonder, Joseph, did you perhaps call him here?" "What?" "Why would you say that?" "He said the same thing." "I didn't mean to imply that you had" "I was simply asking because, well, it seems rather peculiar that this gentleman would venture all the way out here for no apparent reason." "What would be his motivation?" "What if I called him?" "What if I called him?" "What if I..." "What if I contacted..." "I don't even remember." "The best thing to do now is to join me in the water this way we know the truth and what we're up against." "I don't have time for that right now." "Maybe he knows something about Annabel." "What happened that day..." "Why she can't rest." "You haven't been back for quite sometime." "Are you certain you're up for it?" "If you could swim" "I'd swim with you, Joseph." "If I could walk, I'd walk with you." "Anybody missing' a dog?" "Hey... there you go." "Hey." "Hi." "Hi." "I'm sweating, I know." "It's hot out there, I'm sure." "Yeah." "I see you find my girl." "Her name is Glory." "She's fine." "She's cool." "I-is, um..." "I-is Dr-Dr." "George..." "Is he in town?" "Is he here?" "George Reinhart?" "He moved last year." "I'm his replacement." "He-he moved?" "That's what they tell me." "I've never met him." "May I sit down for a second?" "Yeah." "I'm Sweetie." "I'm Joseph." "What medications are you on, Joseph?" "Lithium and others." "You know what?" "Um, I don't..." "I just, I just wanted to ask him some questions and I don't" "I don't really need anything." "I was hot." "I was in the area." "Just wanted a place to cool down." "I understand." "Well, I'm a doctor, too." "I can answer any question you might have." "You know, in fact I'd like to." "It's really boring here today." "Why don't we just start off really nice and easy?" "Tell me your full name, I can look you up in the system." "We can go from there." "Can you-can you give me some water... before we start?" "Of course." "I'll be right back." "Mitch!" "I think you're missing the point here." "It's still an alcoholic beverage and you're still driving." "No, this is a hot toddy." "Mitch!" "It's medicine." "It's basically a liquid form of lozenge, you know?" "It's lemon and honey..." "And Scotch." "Yes, there's some Scotch in there but it helps my throat." "Yeah, they also say, it helps while driving a mortar vehicle." "My God." "Okay, okay." "Agree to disagree." "Just..." "You know what?" "Here, let me take a look at that list, penman." "I gotta... get back to the barn." "I got work to do." "Okey-dokey." "O-okay." "So Bodega Bay pier." "Lawman's bluff." "The court house?" "I'm sorry, maybe I'm not the-the world's best tour guide but I didn't have any of these places mapped out for us." "I'm not here to do the bird story." "I could care less about that." "I'm here to do a piece on Joseph Hawthorne." "Did you change your mind?" "I lied to you so you'd let me stay at your place." "I'm sorry." "Mitch." "Mitch." "Hey, Ed, I don't wanna talk to you right now." "You need to leave me be for a spell." "No, I understand that." "Just hear me out first." "No!" "Look that was not cool, man." "You betrayed my trust." "I'm letting you stay in my freaking house." "You should have been straight with me." "You're right, there's nothing I can say to you that's gonna excuse my dishonesty, but I didn't have much of a choice." "What the hell was that mean?" "Full disclosure." "My office received a phone call from Joseph Hawthorne." "He said he wanted to clear his name in the town and he wanted us to do his story about him and this case." "His exclusive recounting of what happened the day his wife went missing." "Listen, you-you... you need to go straight to him with this." "I can't help you with any of it." "I already tried that." "He doesn't remember calling me here." "How the hell would he?" "He's a sick man and a recluse." "Do you want his story?" "Yeah." "Take him out of here like you did with the Boiler Brothers in Indian country." "Wait." "H-how did you..." "Look, that was different, um..." "Those boys were in real danger." "Why did you get me involved in this?" "Your place is far enough away but close enough to get what I need." "Hawthorne gave my assistant a list of caveats." "And if any of these weren't met he'd pull out and I'd lose the whole story." "We could only send one reporter and it had to me." "No one can know why I'm in town and I have to come up with another cover story." "Hence, the birds." "As far as run-of-the-mill reporting goes, this hasn't exactly been a cakewalk, Mitch." "Ed... when she disappeared... people lost it." "I mean, this whole town divided." "I mean, half of 'em don't believe him and the other half they... they don't wanna speak because they're... they're too afraid." "What do they have to be afraid off?" "I don't know, Dane Baker and Annabel's brothers" "Ruddi and Jack Lee." "From the bar the other night?" "The loud mouth?" "Yeah." "Yeah, and that's Ruddi." "Okay, if that family finds out that you're poking around... they'll come after you." "If you posture and pour any of your intellectual cheeky logic with them, they're-they're gonna hurt you." "Alright." "So help me navigate around here." "No." "We'll be as delicate as possible and together, we'll be credited with hooking one of the most intriguing stories in the last five years." "No." "Mitch." "Mitch, there's a witness." "Someone saw what happened but their identity, it's been protected." "This is public information." "This is exciting stuff." "Come on." "I need fucking ally." "Help me." "Annabel!" "Annabel Lee!" "Don't leave!" "Annabel!" "Annabel!" "Annabel!" "That's what I'm talking about." "That's what I'm sitting here educating you of." "What's that, Joseph?" "I feel good!" "I feel good!" "Whoo!" "I'm powerful, I'm smart and it's all coming together." "These people... this town... my perdition, it's all making sense now." "I wish I could give you, I wish I could give you this feeling." "It's explosive." "It's absolute victory." "It's Bible, it's sacrament, it's everything!" "It's deserved and I'm owed this." "Whoo!" "I want to touch you." "I want to touch you." "So you could... so you could feel it." "I wanna transfer this fucking lightning storm so you could feel what I feel, what I can!" "You know why?" "Because you would burn!" "Baby, you would burn!" "You would burn so hot and for so long... that I have to bring you back." "That's what happened to her." "The sea... took her... from me." "So he could bathe in her luminance and crown her... my queen." "Come here." "Come here." "Grab my hand." "Grab my hand." "I'm not gonna hurt you." "I'm not gonna hurt you." "You feel her brea..." "Her veins breathing?" "You feel that?" "God!" "It feels so good!" "And only I can feel it... because I got fire in my heart." "God!" "It feels so good!" "To own it!" "Take it in." "Breathe, breathe in." "Take it all in!" "Joseph... how long would you say we've been here for?" "What is this?" "A test?" "I'm just wondering if you knew." "Twenty, thirty minutes." "We sat down at five." "It's now 9:30 at night." "You've only calmed down enough in the last five minutes for me to be able to talk to you." "I'm not a psychiatrist, but I have enough knowledge to know that you need help." "I think you're trapped in a severe psychotic state cycling between melancholia and mania... and hallucinating." "Why would you s..." "Why would you say that?" "Because you're doing it right now." "There's no one there, Joseph!" "Jesus Christ." "I'm losing my mind." "You're just lost in your mind." "We have to get you back." "All you need are a couple of good directions back." "Maybe a... high-powered GPS with a crazy man tracking device." "I'm embarrassed." "I'm sorry." "Don't be." "I'm glad you came to town and I met you." "I don't have many friends here." "You thought you'd start with the nutty guys first." "I guess my daddy complex works to your advantage in this case." "These are the same pills that you were on." "It says you are being treated for bipolar 1?" "Yeah." "And its refill was over a year ago." "Look, this morning you were apathetic and tonight you were hysterically manic." "You won't be able to control it without these." "Can I see you again?" "Take your medicine and we'll see." "Do you love her?" "Don't start." "She's nice, she wants to help me." "Don't you got any other friends down there?" "Yes." "Yes, I do, indeed." "But you're my best friend, Joseph." "Is that okay?" "I want my life again." "I'm suffering her." "I imagine you'll return to church." "Maybe." "Maybe not." "Maybe a lot of things." "Maybe..." "Maybe this is good for me." "Sweetie gave me some pills, I gonna take 'em." "I'm gonna take the pills!" "Did I tell you..." "I dreamt that I was a bird?" "Odd really, when you think about it because I've never imagined myself to be another creature... and yet still, I could fly very high and wide." "Soar and dive." "It was truly remarkable." "I recall I was following you through town on the way to the ocean." "I was gliding above making sure you were safe making sure you were happy." "Then all of a sudden you disappeared beneath the older trees and bushes where I could no longer see you no longer call to you or protect you." "I felt helpless..." "and started to panic." "So I dropped down into the heavy foliage." "When I finally broke through..." "I was the one walking and the ocean was in front of me." "I looked to the sky and the bird was now flying above me." "If I have to swim away from you" "I will, Joseph because I know we will always be friends." "But please, tell me more about the girl on the boat before I go." "Ruddi, get out here!" "Hey, Jack." "Jack." "You're home." "Hey." "Where is she?" "I'm gonna take your..." "I'll take you to her." "Hey, come on, get the, get the keys." "Get the keys." "Come on." "I'm just gonna get dressed." "You wanna come in and wait?" "Get the keys!" "Just come in." "No." "Nothing's gonna happen." "I'm not coming in, please." "You need to respect my boundaries while we're in town." "Nothing is going to happen, Mitch." "Alright." "Fine." "Can I get you anything?" "No." "I'll just go up the street and get something." "I don't know, Joseph but..." "Annabel was my friend." "Okay." "Let's start there." "Tell me about her." "Tell me something." "It's kind of hard to describe her." "'Cause she's not like anyone you've ever met before." "You know how you meet people in life and they always remind you of somebody that you knew or you met and you're always like" ""You remind me of Scott." "Or you're so much like Terra."" "She was the only Annabel Lee I have ever met." "She smiled a lot." "She sang." "She was a painter." "And she could talk to anybody." "I mean, anybody." "Didn't matter who you were." "And she was so stunningly beautiful and had no idea." "She was just like this... nice, beautiful person." "To know her was special." "I miss her." "Are you okay?" "I'm sorry." "I think I messed up." "It's fine." "It's fine." "Anne... who's the witness to all this?" "Excuse me for a second." "Anne?" "Anne?" "Anne." "You've been in town for over a week." "What are you up to, city boy?" "Those are private." "Dusty, those are private." "Give them back." "Dusty." "You're here doing a story on my family?" "There are many people outside of Bodega in the greater community that wish to know the details of this story." "There's a lot more to this than you know." "And talking to some naive school teacher who doesn't know the half of it, that's dirty in my eyes." "Probably in my husbands, too." "Not to mention how Jack would feel about it." "That's a whole other thing." "Well, that sounds threatening." "No." "I'm not gonna say anything." "You think I wanna pay to get Ruddi out of jail for what he'd do to you?" "I just can't promise that Deedee is gonna keep her mouth shut." "Okay, Dusty, I'll play along." "Who's Deedee?" "She's my other personality." "She comes out when I drink and she can be quite a troublemaker." "And she might think your actions here are a little disrespectful to her family." "Don't get so worried." "I'm not drinking until tonight." "You still have a couple of hours." "Am I making sense, Mr. Hale?" "Yes." "Got it." "Dusty, what are you doing here?" "I thought we were meeting later." "We are." "I just popped in to help this man get his facts straight." "Ready?" "Happy birthday, Dusty Lee." "Thanks." "Have a safe trip back." "Trying to fuck over the whole family?" "Hey, Sweetie." "Hi." "Do you like my flowers?" "Thank you." "Forgot the blanket." "She's just up here a ways." "Had 'em, put her off to the side just so..." "You know, away from the other stones, like you said." "She, she looked good in mom's dress, you know." "She looked..." "Ruddi." "She..." "Go home." "Hey, how-how are you gonna... how are you gonna get back then?" "These are lovely." "Thank you." "The white's supposed to mean reverence and humility which I thought was fitting." "Thank you for listening to me and... you know, helping me with my medicine." "How do you feel?" "Was pretty clouded the first three or four days, then it just you know, got a little less desperate." "Go on." "My head's cleared now, you know." "I'm not all over the place with the thoughts." "What was the second pill that you, you gave me for..." "It was a..." "It's an anti-psychotic medicine." "Used to treat the manic episode you were having but now that it's settled down all you need is some mood stabilizer." "How do you know all this shit?" "...one, I'm a doctor and two, I care to know." "Who is Annabel?" "Annabel... was my wife." "She... died... in an accident in the water." "I'm so sorry." "What happened?" "It was a storm... and her boat tipped over." "She..." "By the time they found her, she'd drowned." "There was nothing more they could have done." "That's why you went off your medicine didn't leave the house." "'Cause you were depressed because you loved her." "Yeah." "Sorry." "What's that?" "That?" "That's a combination of my ex birth control pills and two really good bottles of wine." "From my perspective, all three of those sound pretty good." "Yeah, at the time they sounded good to me too." "He was abusive?" "No." "No." "I was." "I was a nightmare." "I was a completely different person." "He, he was a really good guy that was just trying to help me until it all just... basically imploded." "So that's when you moved here?" "So you can be good for a change?" "Take a break from, torturing men drinking like a pirate." "So, family?" "Brothers, sisters, mom, dad?" "Only child." "Really?" "You're so good with women, Joe." "I would have thought you had sisters." "Nah, no sisters." "My mother left when I was six and my father brought me up after that." "That must have been hard." "Sorry." "Yeah." "Well, do you remember her?" "Some stuff." "She was... nice very affectionate, very protective that kind of thing." "And your dad?" "He was a..." "He was a diary farmer at a pasture in this town." "Is he still alive?" "I don't know." "That's the reason my mother left." "Would you like me to tell you... why my mother left?" "No." "It's fine." "Screw you." "...Anyway, this is me." "Um, this your house?" "I used to go to Sunday school here." "Really?" "No, really." "You do..." "You-you live here?" "Yeah, I'm renting the top floor." "Do you wanna come in and see it?" "Stop." "Tell me that you love me..." "I can't..." "I can't play right now." "I gotta rest some." "It's not play, Joe." "Forget it." "Really?" "Never mind." "No, listen." "Stop." "Annabel..." "I've never loved anyone more." "I can't imagine living' a life without you in it." "You know that." "What if I die before you?" "See, that's why I don't like talking about this." "Would you love again?" "Would you trick your heart so easily?" "You are my heart... and my love." "You ate all my cherry waffles." "It's all the medicine that you gave me." "It's not my fault." "Last night was fun, Joe." "Yeah, it was." "So... what's next?" "You tell me." "We were just here." "We got kicked out." "I can't fucking deal with her." "Go in." "You go see if they're in here." "Why do I always have to..." "Just do what I fuckin' say!" "What's this about?" "Don't fucking touch me." "Do not fucking touch me." "I'm not kidding." "I don't know, but it can't be good." "Now, you two, listen to me." "No one here wants any trouble with you so just turn around and go right back where you came from." "It has nothing to do with you..." "I will break you in half if you will ever speak that way..." "You stay the fuck out of it!" "Get off of me." "This is about our family!" "No." "Not in my bar." "I'm going to get my husband and the sheriff..." "Go get anyone you want, woman!" "Yeah, you go get 'em, bitch!" "Them." "Get the fuck out." "Get the fuck out!" "Go!" "Go!" "Get the fuck out!" "Hey!" "I'm Jack." "Shake it." "I said, shake it!" "Good." "This man tell you who I am?" "Better yet, better yet." "Did this man tell you who he is?" "Me?" "I'm his wife's brother." "His family." "A troubled convict." "Him?" "He's a coward." "He's a liar." "And he's a thief." "Jack..." "Don't say a word!" "What are you talking about?" "Your new boyfriend is a bad guy." "He's a killer, doc." "Yeah." "You didn't tell her, Joe?" "This man... if you can call him that much took our baby sister out on a boat ride." "And when they came back, guess what?" "She wasn't with him." "What was it, Rude?" "A..." "There was an angler off a darn beach had to fish her out." "Yeah." "He took from us." "From my family." "A daughter and a sister." "You were on that boat, Joseph?" "Is that the truth?" "Of course it is." "I just said it." "I wasn't on the boat with her." "No." "You fuckin' lie about it... and I'll cut you in half... right now." "Joseph, wait a minute." "Wait a minute." "What was it again?" "Was it a, was it a, a blue whale?" "No, no, a humpback?" "In the spring, right?" "The humpback whale." "The humpback whale." "It was a g..." "The gray whale." "Yeah, the gray whale." "What the fuck is wrong with you?" "No citation, migratin' in spring, you fuckin' fool." "They're lying, I didn't, I-I didn't do anything wrong, come on." "No, w-wait, ask him." "Ask him how he makes a living?" "You ask him." "Ask him about our sister's life insurance policy." "Tell her, you fuckin' bottom-feeder." "Can I borrow something to draw?" "Just me." "What him?" "Ruddi, Dane." "You touch him, and I'll kill you both." "No, Ruddi." "Fuck." "Alright, that's enough." "That'll do, Jack." "You're gonna arrest me, Bill?" "Like I have a dozen times before, son." "Dane, get the hell out of here before I kick your dumb ass." "Miss, you go home too." "I'm gonna bleed you out." "Yeah?" "I'm gonna bleed you out." "Look at that." "Big Tom Mulkheney?" "I'm, I'm not little Lee anymore." "And you're not as scary as you used to be, old man." "We, gonna have to work some things out." "That's enough, Jack." "This suits me just fine." "That's enough, guys." "Alright, Jack get out of here, come on." "Hi." "Really, Dusty?" "Was that necessary?" "I told you this asshole's doing a story on our family." "Trying to make Hawthorne look innocent." "Dammit, Mitch." "Would you grab the index cards?" "You know, I'd really like to speak with you guys if you have a moment." "Jesus." "Fuck!" "Let me explain." "Can you stop?" "Listen." "I was afraid that you would judge me." "Judge you?" "Judge you for what?" "You didn't do anything wrong, right?" "That's why I didn't tell you because of the way you're acting right now." "Why didn't you defend yourself in there, Joseph?" "Why?" "Why didn't you say anything back to those men?" "You don't understand." "Well, you're innocent, right?" "Why didn't you tell them that?" "Why did you let that guy talk all that crazy shit if it wasn't true?" "Why?" "Why did you lie to me?" "So you could fuck me?" "I was just easy for you?" "No!" "I was the only one in town who didn't know." "And I'm walking around with you, with you with God knows who!" "Just let me explain, okay." "Did you do it?" "Did you, Joseph?" "Did you kill your wife?" "Answer me!" "Well, that's just as reassuring as the last 24 hours have been, thank you." "What are those pills doing in your bathroom?" "Is your, what-what is your life off limits?" "I mean, since we're being honest with each other here." "I was fired from my last job in Ashlyn, where I told my boss that I thought that I was God's mother and the pills I was distributing were messages for my children." "I'm bipolar too, Joseph." "That's why I thought I could help you." "Because I know when a man is in despair and how-how fast and hard it can spiral until you feel like you're lookin' out of a cave." "Now, that's the truth." "You tell me the truth." "You tell me." "What really happened, to your beautiful Annabel Lee?" "I don't know." "Unbelievable!" "I'm sorry about that, Jack, the guy, he just he slipped between the cracks, you know." "People at the rental office, they said that he was here doin' a different story." "I mean, figured him to be an honest guy, you know." "Can't trust anybody these days." "Right?" "You saw me, though, right." "I told him that he-he can't." "He's gotta go, I mean, he can't stay with me, he knows." "No, sir." "Not if, not if he's gonna do that story." "You know, as soon as I found out it's you and me, it was it was over, you know, no no hesitation... whatsoever." "You know, I could really use the money too." "I was charged top dollar for that room upstairs, you know, you..." "Jack!" "Hey, Jack!" "Wait..." "Hey, I can, I can come by later, you know." "We can..." "I can crack a beer, you know." "Let's straighten this whole thing out you know?" "If that's, if that's better." "She would have walked." "And I never would've seen her again, you know that." "More than anyone, you know that." "What was I supposed to say?" "Hi, I'm Joseph." "I think my wife died, but I don't exactly remember." "Can you fill my order, and sleep with me?" "It's not funny?" "No?" "You got nothin' to say?" "No clear analogies?" "No profound dream for me?" "Talk to me." "I tried to have a life." "You want your chop, because I put my health in... in front of you?" "Because I needed better?" "Are you so jealous... that you would ignore..." "a friend... when he's like this?" "I don't need you." "I protected you." "You're the killer." "You sprang up from the ocean and took her from me." "You tipped the fuckin' boat." "Why am I being punished?" "Whale!" "I didn't mean it." "I didn't mean it." "Please, don't leave." "Whale!" "Don't leave me." "Come back!" "I'm here." "There's no givin' that one." "Caught me at the grocery yesterday." "Asked me about a 1,000 questions." "Relentless." "Yeah, well, if he's not careful he's gonna get a lot more than a story." "Nice enough fella though." "It's Tom, right?" "That's my name." "I'm Sweetie." "I work at the pharmacy." "That's where I met Joseph." "Okay." "I just, I wanted to say hello..." "You wanna know if he did it." "If I didn't care about him, I wouldn't... but I do." "I'm worried about him up in that house." "Look, I don't know what happened that day you know, to his wife." "I wasn't there." "Somebody was, I mean..." "I mean, like I said, it's, it's just... it's just a big mess now." "Is he dangerous, Tom?" "Look, every man's dangerous." "Every man." "I don't think Joseph's any exception." "Do you think he did it?" "I think he's sick." "I don't know that he's bad." "What about that bald guy?" "The one with the scars and the tattoos." "Why is he bothering Joseph..." "Yeah, well, he's bad." "Yeah, he just did a stretch for manslaughter." "He's been away for the last ten years." "You know, all these are family problems, miss." "These are local issues." "You shouldn't get yourself involved in this." "So nobody should get involved?" "Just wait around while they kill him?" "Look, I can't." "I can't get mixed up with this bunch." "You know, I've already put myself out there." "But you said..." "But I said, that I like him." "I would do anything I can for him." "And I would, but..." "Look, everybody has a past in this town." "You know, I have a wife now." "I have a business, I have responsibilities." "You understand that?" "I understand." "Okay." "You take care of yourself then." "You too." "Hey, man." "What the..." "Little bit more." "Just give me, give me that damn thing." "Jesus, where the hell..." "Where the hell have you been staying, anyway?" "I've a home over at the Ruby's Slipper." "It's fine." "What?" "It's nothing, I'm-I'm just, I'm..." "I'm certain that's probably the worst motel in town." "Check it, you got bed bugs, you got mold, you got filth." "The guys won't even take hookers there." "Talk about story?" "I was always wondering why it was so expensive for such a shit hole." "Hey, I'm..." "I'm sorry, I kicked you out, buddy." "I just..." "Believe me, I had good reason." "I understand." "I wanted the story." "And I wasn't very considerate of your life here in town." "It's my fault, I..." "I just..." "She's my cousin, Ed." "Why, why would you not share that with me, Mitch?" "I..." "You still don't get it, do you?" "No, I don't, I don't get it." "Hey, right or wrong" "I can't be seen helping' you, because in their eyes it makes me a fuckin' traitor." "Just so happens, I have a family that believes in capital punishment." "That's why I got this guy." "And..." "I'm just not quite ready to give up the ghost." "This town is so ass backwards." "These people are your cousins." "Are they not?" "Your baby sister went out to sea with her husband and never came back." "Four hours later, Joseph steers their family boat into a rock at Lawman's Bluff." "I know the story" "He comes back bruised and bloody with a story about this colossal pod of migrants that crossed their path and tipped their boat knocked him out and Annabel over the side." "They don't see past shit like that." "They don't understand freak accidents, fate, destiny." "These are not understood or accepted concepts here, Ed." "Specially not with the Lee's." "But for them not to believe..." "It-it-it doesn't matter." "Their own family could tell them the truth." "It doesn't matter." "He came back... she didn't." "And now we've interfered and we're... we're all fucked." "What an austere place." "Tell me about it." "Well... all there is left to do is drink then?" "Yeah." "Now you're startin' to get it, penman." "Mr. Hale, Mr. Hale, come here." "Anne?" "Yeah, come here." "Mitch..." "Don't bother with him right now." "Come here." "I have something for you." "Anne, am I dreaming?" "What's goin' on?" "Do you still wanna meet the witness to the Hawthorne murder?" "Yes." "I can't bring them here because they don't want anyone knowing who they are." "Especially, a family member of the Lees." "I took a big risk by coming here." "Alright." "Dane would kill me." "Do you wanna come with me?" "Yes." "Come on, we've to go now." "Let's get Mitch." "No, just you." "Come on." "Sshh." "Come on, Mr. Hale." "It's just up here." "Anne, why did you say it's a murder?" "What else would you call it?" "Actually..." "And hello, Dusty." "I'd call it an accident." "An undesired event." "Misfortune." "I'd call this misfortune." "Dusty, what are they doing here?" "Where's the witness?" "Shut up, Anne." "Shut and get-get the fuck over here." "Come here." "Mr. Hale, I'm so sorry, I had no idea." "It's cold now!" "I can smell the poison on you." "You feelin' no pain." "That's good." "That's real good." "Joe... help me!" "God, please, no." "I'm so cold." "Joe." "No." "No, don't get near me." "Jack's coming for you." "He's gonna get you." "You said you loved me." "You let me be like this, I'm cold." "You said that you loved me." "God..." "When I was 17, I went inside for the first time." "I thought I was invincible." "I thought I had to prove that I wasn't a punk." "So, I got to running my mouth." "In a place I really didn't understand." "Wasn't long before I caught a beef with one of the other prisoners." "He, wanted me to mule or somethin' for him." "I don't know." "I told him that I'd kill his family if he ever spoke to me again." "Few days later about five of them caught me off guard." "Beat me into a coma." "Clipped off my tongue with a dirty shiv and gave me this." "That was my punishment for disrespecting them in their house." "Annabel... was the only one who came to save me... when I was hurt." "She said... all this agony... was just... was just temporary." ""Don't let the pain get in front of you." "No matter how bad it gets, Jackie."" "Okay, he says." "Okay." "A few years later, I caught the same guy and..." "I cut him open from his ear down to his ankle with a can opener." "It was his time to learn a lesson." "So that was that." "Don't do this." "Don't do this." "You're accountable." "You're all accountable, you hear me?" "You're all fucking accountable!" "Don't let the pain get in front of you." "Please... please." "Now... which hand do you write with?" "What?" "I said... which hand do you write with?" "My left." "That one?" "Yes." "Wait." "Don't hurt more, please." "What?" "What?" "Where's my shiv?" "Right there!" "No." "Please." "Please, please, don't do that, don't..." "Help me!" "What?" "What, little brother?" "Too much?" "I bet it was a dream." "And those... are dreamed by night... or awake." "I was dreaming I think." "Or cognizant of many things." "We should skip those." "Only dream." "Would it not be incredibly remiss... if I'd have done sooner with this crime." "You come bearing gifts." "Stay alive and live, my good man." "Step in." "Step in there." "I didn't have anything to do with that." "Shut up." "Are you kidding me, Dan?" "Are you serious?" "Lock it up." "I wasn't even there, I was with these guys..." "Take your medicine, Dane." "Are you kidding me?" "Take your medicine." "This is bullshit, Dan!" "For fuck's sake!" "Yo, beluga." "Sit the fuck down." "Let's go, let's go, let's go!" "Unlock that door!" "Unlock the gate!" "Alright, come in." "Back in the cell, back in the cell." "Hey!" "You see the boy?" "What?" "He's hidin'." "Maybe a neighborhood kiddie." "I chased him, but he keeps coming back." "My God!" "Joseph did you sleep out here last night?" "Since Wednesday." "It's Saturday." "Did you see something that scared you, honey?" "She acts differently lately." "It's my fault." "It's alright." "Let's get you cleaned up, honey." "No!" "Enough!" "Joseph, you stop acting like this right now!" "Jack and Ruddi were released from jail this morning." "They attacked Ed Hale last week." "They couldn't hold them 'cause he-he was too afraid to tell anybody what happened." "Now, those men are gonna come after you, Joseph." "And if you're gonna stay like this it's gonna be really easy for them to say that you disappeared or had an accident." "So we're gonna go into town... and we're gonna leave Bodega Bay for a couple of weeks." "We can stay in Redding, Tom can look after your house." "Get up!" "Okay, okay, I'm gonna go." "I just gotta get inside, get some stuff." "I'll meet you at Nickel's in a... half hour." "How the hell are you gonna do that?" "You-you've been out here for almost a week!" "I have to!" "Thirty minutes... or I'm coming right back to get you." "Okay." "What's up, dog?" "What the fuck are you guys doing?" "Jesus Christ." "You scared the shit out of me." "When did you guys get out?" "I was just coming by to lock up, I was, I was gonna go hunting up North, I was gonna check and see if you guys need anything before you hit the trail." "Hey, hey." "Hey!" "Come on, no!" "Guys, come on!" "Where's Jack?" "Hey!" "Where's Jack?" "I wanna straighten things out with him, okay?" "I just wanted to wait for him to cool down a bit!" "Does he know you guys are here?" "Come on, guys." "Ruddi, knock that off." "Please." "Grab a hammer, get the shit off my window and let me out of here!" "Put that..." "Put that down." "Ruddi!" "Ruddi!" "Come on, I did my part, alright?" "I kept my secret!" "I didn't say anything that he wouldn't have already heard!" "Ruddi, put that..." "Ruddi." "Ru-u-uddi!" "You heartless coward!" "Come, let's walk out of here!" "It's me." "It's just me." "Did you hear the truck?" "Looks like there's a big fire out at Mitch's place." "Tom just headed out that way." "I don't like this." "I'm telling you, something is going on." "It's not everyday the penman strolls in the town." "It's big deal to people, Mr. Hale." "He's a sick man and a recluse." "Do you want his story?" "You take him out of here like you did with the Boyle brothers in Indian country." "What am I missing?" "Their own family..." "could tell them the truth." "It doesn't matter." "He came back, she didn't." "Glory?" "Glory!" "Glory?" "Jesus Christ, Glory!" "Glory?" "Hi." "It's Jack." "Hi." "Must be a fire?" "I think it's over at Mitch Captree's house." "Captree?" "Is that so?" "They better get some people up there fast before it all gets scorched?" "Please, don't hurt my dog." "What?" "I would never hurt an animal." "I love her." "She's my friend." "She should be inside." "Animals just know, you know?" "They're not like us." "They're not like people." "They don't have to experience everything through pain and suffering." "Why did you come here?" "I wanted to apologize to you... for the other day at Tom's bar." "I... probably made you feel a little uneasy." "Yeah?" "That wasn't my intention." "What was your intention?" "To send a man to the hospital just for doing a story about your family?" "I can't control my brother." "I tried!" "I tried, I tried, I tried and I tried again!" "It doesn't work!" "You know, Joseph's not the only person being persecuted and judged in this town." "I wasn't even there!" "You weren't?" "I was not!" "So you're not going after Joseph." "Why would I?" "It won't bring my sister back." "Will it?" "No." "No." "I said what I needed to say." "That's it." "Can I have my dog back, please?" "Of course." "Come on." "Come on, sweetie." "There you go." "Easy, go easy." "Thank you." "So beautiful." "Thank you." "Thank you." "What, that?" "That's just ink and immaturity." "That's nothing, that's not gonna hurt you." "Come on, I just wanna be treated equal." "Just like Joseph." "Friends?" "Yeah?" "Yeah." "Okay." "Now, come on." "No!" "Look at this hair." "You look like her." "Yeah." "I can see why he likes you." "Hi, Mr. Hale, how are you feeling?" "Good." "Listen, I need you to tell me something." "It's very important." "When you booked my room out here... how did you find Mitch Captree's place?" "Captree?" "Um, let me see." "You know what?" "He actually contacted us." "Mr." "Hale?" "You know what, Bill?" "This isn't rocket science here, okay?" "'Cause anytime any shit goes down..." "Motherfucker!" "Will you look at me when I'm talking to you?" "Knock it off." "Alright." "What'd you mean, knock it off?" "Don't jump to conclusions." "Will you look at me when I'm talking to you?" "Don't tell me that was an accident, Billy!" "Don't jump to the conclusions, Tom, alright?" "Let's just stick to the facts!" "What happened?" "It was Ruddi and Dane." "You fucking let them out?" "I couldn't hold them any longer." "You didn't wanna identify them, Mr. Hale." "Sweetie." "Over here!" "Hi, Joseph." "Hi, it's me, Annabel?" "Your long lost love." "I need you to save me." "Save me from the water." "Save me from the whales, Joseph." "Save me from myself." "Where is she?" "You really wanna know, you big..." "Yes." "Why?" "Why?" "So you can go rescue the girl and save the day?" "Are you a fucking idiot?" "You're a fucking idiot." "Do you know what Jack is gonna do to you when you go down there?" "He's gonna beat you to death and leave you face down in the water." "Is that what you want?" "Is it?" "I don't think that's what you want." "Stop it!" "Stop." "You know what I think you want, Joseph?" "I think you wanna stay here with me." "We can go find Viagra and back." "It's gonna be fun." "So much more fun than you're gonna have." "Shut up!" "You're my husband." "Tell me where they took her!" "I like it when you get rough." "I fucking like it!" "Okay." "Do it the hard way... hero." "They... are where the lie started." "Where you killed my best friend." "I think you know exactly where that is, don't you, Joseph?" "Dusty." "You're an ugly person." "Well, lucky for me, Joseph 'cause we know what you do to the beautiful ones!" "We're on highway three right up here." "Know this place like the back of my hand." "It-it's a lie, it's a lie!" "They set me up." "They sent me because it's hard to get out of here." "It's a lie!" "God!" "Get back!" "Get back!" "Dane!" "Shut the fuck up, Tom!" "You wanna help this asshole?" "Then you're a fucking asshole, too!" "You're fucking get me?" "No one gets through but Hawthorne!" "And you, you fucking silly boy, pussy, motherfucker!" "Did you get the story you wanted?" "Did you get the story you wanted?" "You're..." "You're right, it's just so fucked up... that you can't even jerk off, can you?" "My God!" "I..." "No..." "You..." "Ed?" "Is he alright?" "I don't know." "Come on, get him on." "Hey." "Here, listen up." "You gotta get to town, okay?" "You gotta get the sheriff." "Get him out here." "Okay." "Okay." "Alright." "Am I gonna get in trouble for hitting him like that?" "You're fine." "You did the right thing." "Go." "Okay." "Okay." "Ed?" "Did he change, Anne?" "Go!" "Did he change?" "Get help!" "Go!" "Did he change, Anne?" "Hey!" "Hey!" "Look at me." "Did he change?" "Look at me, not at her!" "Look!" "Can you get your arms around..." "Can you get your arms around this?" "Hold this!" "You gotta hold it!" "Listen." "Hey!" "Look at me." "This isn't a game anymore, okay?" "No, no, no, I don't..." "If Ruddi..." "Listen to me!" "I don't want this!" "If Ruddi and Jack come after you, you gotta drop 'em, okay?" "Otherwise, they're gonna kill you." "You understand me?" "You gotta go a quarter mile down this road, you run." "Lawman's bluff, below the field, okay?" "You're gonna cut through the cliffs" "I'm gonna meet you there." "Now, go." "Come out, you fucking coward!" "Where are you, you fucking pussy?" "Come on!" "Hey." "Help me!" "Joseph, please help me!" "Come on in!" "Come get her!" "Wait!" "Sweetie!" "Joseph!" "What's wrong, bro?" "Come get her!" "So cold." "She need you!" "Well, I'll help you out." "You bastard!" "Go on ahead." "I'll make you a deal." "Be a man... and come get her... and I'll go." "Careful." "Don't let the water get you, Joseph." "Is that how hard you tried for Annabel?" "Now there's blood in the water." "Somebody..." "Somebody help!" "Hi." "Come back, bird." "No, no, no." "Come back, bird." "Back to your cage." "Hey!" "Hey!" "Should have known better." "Should have left, writer man." "Should have left when you had the chance." "Help!" "Thought you were supposed to be smart." "Where you going?" "Help!" "Hey, hey." "Hey." "I need you to..." "I need you to do me a favor." "I need you to... tell my sister..." "I'm gonna quit drinking in the spring." "No!" "I can't have my sister back but I can have you." "Joseph!" "Please..." "We'll do this together." "You and me together, right?" "You saw her go... now I'm gonna watch you go." "Please!" "Stop!" "Jack!" "No!" "Let her take you." "Just let her take you." "Just let her take you at the sea like you... like you..." "Telling him to fight there, were you, piece of shit?" "Let's lose the shiv?" "Joseph!" "Help!" "Somebody, help!" "Ed!" "Ed!" "Shoot him!" "Wait." "Wait." "Wait." "No!" "Where you..." "No!" "Let him go." "No!" "Let him go." "No." "I've missed you, my friend." "Whale." "Joseph!" "The girl on the boat." "Your imperishable love." "Tell me." "Yes." "Honey!" "Honey, look out there." "Do you see?" "This is why we came!" "Look!" "Hey, honey, how you doing?" "You ready?" "Come on, we're so close." "Look, it's why we came out here." "Five more minutes." "Five more minutes." "I'm not, I'm not standing up." "Will you look at how amazingly close we are." "Look." "Do you see them?" "We've never been this close." "Come on, honey." "Just walk up with me." "You can hold me the whole time." "I got you." "I got you, I swear." "I just not..." "Last request, please." "Come on, look who..." "You're gonna love it." "Come on." "Hurry!" "Just, just be careful, okay?" "Look!" "Look out there." "There are three of them." "It's amazing!" "Yeah." "Have you ever seen a whale that close before?" "No, no, no." "Hey, don't." "N-not over..." "Well, they're coming right towards us." "My God!" "Look at that." "You can almost touch them." "Be careful!" "I'm fine, honey." "Just hold on to me." "I know you like it, baby, but you gotta be careful." "I'm not gonna fall." "You've got me, don't you?" "Yes." "And you got the boat." "We're gonna be fine." "Okay, okay." "Okay, look." "I didn't kill my wife!" "Annabel!" "I love you!" "You're ready to swim with me, my friend."
