Sea Change Page #2

like that before.

You heard that?

Uh, yeah.

I don't know.

Must've come

from one of the boats.

Weird.

I'm Miranda.

Leo.

Whoa. What happened there?

Boating accident.

[eerie music]

You should get going.

Water's coming in.

Yeah. Whoa.

[water gurgling]

It was nice to..

[eerie whispering]

[panting]

[whispering continues]

- Miranda.

- Ha!

- Are you okay?

- What are you doing?

- Were you following me?

- You were gone a long time.

I was worried.

Sorry. I..

I just got spooked.

Are you sure you're okay?

Yeah. I'm fine.

[intense music]

[birds chirping]

[instrumental music]

[music continues]

[engine revving]

You're right.

The new girl's hot.

- Her name is Miranda.

- Miranda?

Well, did you hand Miranda

your balls outright

or did you just

put a sold sign on your junk?

- Shut up.

- Ha-ha.

You know, it just seems

like a lot of work

when Ginny's still dyin'

to climb that that

teach strip pole,

if you know what I'm saying.

Believe it or not,

I can decode

that sort of metaphor.

- Want that?

- Mm.

- Be right back.

- Alright.

[instrumental music]

[indistinct chatter]

Couldn't manage one day

with outside contact?

Yeah.

Something like that.

I get it. Your boyfriend

probably misses you.

Yeah. Javier gets really upset

when I don't check in.

He's a bodybuilder.

So I don't like to make him mad.

Plus, I also

have to email social services

to let them know Amelia hasn't

locked me in the basement.

'Cause that's something

we're worried about.

Probably not.

One second.

Nelson here was actually

just wrapping things up.

Thanks, Nelson.

So, what do you

have to do tomorrow night?

I was thinking

a little brooding

maybe penning some

angsty poetry, for sure

avoiding awkward conversation

with my only living relative.

You know, the usual.

Tried out the whole

poetry thing for a while

after my mom passed away.

My eye in [indistinct]

definitely needs work.

- I'm so sorry.

- Thanks.

Anyway, if you get bored

of poetry, there's this thing

happening down at the yacht club

tomorrow night.

'Sort of an island tradition to

kick off the start of summer.'

You should come.

Good for angst-drowning.

- Yeah. Maybe.

- Alright.

I'll see you there.

[computer beeps]

[indistinct chatter]

[keys clacking]

[instrumental music]

- Oh, my gosh. You're Miranda.

- I'm Cece N. Cooper.

My mom told me not

to bother you this week

because you and your mom

have like tons of bonding

and whatever

to make up for, but

I'm pretty sure

she just said that

'cause her Botox

went a little wanky

and she's desperate

for company.

Anyways, I couldn't wait

to meet you.

Plus Ginny says

you're a total freak.

Which means,

we're gonna be BFFs.

- It's nice to meet you.

- What are you doing right now?

Do you want to grab

ice-cream with me?

My treat, I mean

not that I don't think

you can afford ice cream.

You're..

You don't seem

poor or anything.

I just...wanna be nice.

- I have to be somewhere.

- Okay.

Sorry, uh, you caught me

in weird moment.

- Cece, right?

- Right.

I guess

I'm having a hard time

coping with moving

to a small town

where everyone knows my height,

weight and shoe size.

Oh, no one

can get your shoe size.

I've been trying all day.

[chuckling]

Ginny goes to Deerfield,

but, you know

my parents aren't into

the whole catholic-school thing.

Bobby and TJ go to Exeter.

Bobby's dad,

he used to play football.

But you know, he owns like seven

restaurants. He's a creeper.

And Kate's totally bulimic but

we all pretend not to notice.

And that sends her

toward the cove.

Everything else is tiny

territory

which is better left

than explored.

[instrumental music]

(Miranda)

Hey, what do you know about Leo?

Not much.

Townies usually

avoid the heirs.

Airs?

- Heirs with an 'H?'

- Ah.

'It's what the townies call

the summer people'

''cause we all inherited land.'

Come on. Let's go say hi.

- N-no way. He's hot, but he's--

- What? Four?

Disturbed. There's a ton

of stories about that guy.

Leo. Hey.

What happened to your scars?

You seem very interested

in my body.

I'm not.

I just wanted to say hey.

Hey.

(TJ)

Miranda.

- You okay?

- I'm fine.

We were just leaving.

TJ, you didn't tell

new girl the rules.

It's not really a good idea

to friend the help.

You're right,

you never know when we might

uh, piss in your champagne.

- Bobby!

- Oops.

Careful.

I doubt they teach you to throw

a decent punch at Exeter.

Oh, fish stick wants a fight.

(Miranda)

Stop it.

Nobody wants a fight.

Do they?

- Come on, Bobby.

- Yeah, it's no problem.

I got to get back

to the restaurant, anyway.

My dad is having an issue

with one of the waitresses.

She keeps propositioning

to customers.

Oh, wait a sec.

Her name is Naomi.

Isn't that your sister?

Oh. This is a small world.

- What are you doing with him?

- Me?

What are you

doing with that guy?

Bobby, he's a dick

but he is harmless.

And Leo's not?

(male #1)

'Can I get some help here?'

'Is she alright?'

What?

[indistinct gasping]

- Oh, my God.

- Is that..

- Kit.

- Oh, God. Oh, God. Oh, God.

[instrumental music]

Fishing crew found her body

tangled in the lines.

I guess she wasn't

a very strong swimmer.

Kit was an experienced diver.

She drowned.

She could've misjudged

how much gas was in her tanks

or hit her head or lost

consciousness underwater.

There were, um..

Thought she had like..

Something got to the body

after the fact.

Could've been a seal

or a shark.

I've called the mainland police.

They're sending an ME.

Look, I don't need

a corner to tell me

the cause of death was drowning.

Her lungs were full of water.

Well, if there was

something in that water..

...I think we need to know.

What's your relationship

to Kit Morgan, Mr. Elinsworth?

I'm the Cunningham's

legal counsel.

And until they're back

from Europe

I'm also Ginny's guardian.

What about the victim's parents?

You need family

to identify the body.

Uncle Lou is like 80.

He has Alzheimer's.

That's why Kit

was staying with us.

Dan'll be back by the weekend.

Now, if you'll excuse us..

...the family could use

some privacy.

I've to pick up

my dress from the tailor's

and get my nails done

before tonight.

Look, Ginny. No one expects you

to go tonight. You know that.

I'm fine. I'm not

gonna miss the heirs party.

- You sure?

- Yeah.

- I'll see you later, okay?

- Yeah.

[sighs]

It's happening again.

I saw Kit's body.

That wasn't a seal or a shark.

No point in jumping

to conclusions.

Alright? Let the ME

do his thing.

- But, dad--

- Look, TJ.

Enough.

You'll make it harder on

the family than it already is.

Okay?

[birds chirping]

[instrumental music]

[music continues]

[music continues]

(Miranda)

'Amelia.'

[knock on door]

Come in.

Omg. Did you even bathe today?

No, actually.

Right, okay,

go sanitize while I find

something acceptable in here.

- For what?

- Um, the heirs party.

It's not cancelled?
