The Fog Page #2

Do you have a lighter?

Yeah.

It's a hallmark. Tells where a piece

was made and roughly when.

Looks familiar.

Elizabeth.

Farewell, Elizabeth.

What was that about?

He found a watch on the beach.

That guy gives me the creeps.

I know it sounds crazy, but I felt like

I'd seen it somewhere before.

Where?

I don't know. Let's go.

- Hey, Andy.

- Hey, darling.

Hey, Dan.

You lonely over there without me?

Remind me why I gave you

my cell phone number again?

Because I'm 6 feet of burning love.

Actually you're 5'9", Dan.

Now tell me why you called,

or I'm gonna hang up.

Okay, okay. I just thought you might

like something to talk about.

Okay. I'm listening.

I got something

on my Doppler a minute ago.

Sounds kinky.

Looks like a fog bank

about 10 miles out...

...and it's moving

straight towards us.

Well, my gauges must be wrong then.

I'm showing a wind blowing due west.

Now, what kind of fog

moves against the wind?

You got me.

But my radar doesn't lie.

- Gotta go. I'm on.

- Okay.

It is just before 10 on Spivey Point.

This is Stevie Wayne,

beaming my signal across the sea.

Dan the Weatherman says

a fog bank is rolling in offshore.

So if I were you,

I would lock the doors...

...throw away the keys

and whip up a pitcher of martinis...

...while you listen to another hour

of music on KAB.

Serving up the platters that matter.

There's no fog out there.

Hey, Spooner.

You see any fog out there?

There's no fog out here.

Ladies, you see any fog?

I don't see any fog out there.

Did they talk about beautiful women?

Because that's definitely out here.

Look at this. Blurring my vision.

Spooner, the engine's dead.

Nobody care about that.

You know why? Because we got beer.

And for two, we got beer.

And after that, beer.

And we got music too.

That's all that matter, all right?

Dance over here

and have some fun.

Look at that. My Lord.

Yeah.

Yeah. You all wanna see

Spooner get low? Let me get low.

Harbor patrol, this is Seagrass.

Do you copy?

Coast Guard, this is Seagrass.

Do you copy? Over.

Damn. Wait a second.

This new radio is...

I don't know why it does this.

It's that new song

that starts with the static.

It starts with static then it goes to

the beat and music. Wait a second.

What are you doing?

No coats.

Coats, bad. Naked, good.

It's freezing out there.

What's going on?

Hell of a fog bank.

Where'd that come from?

Hey, Spooner.

What's going on out there, man?

Spooner.

Dude, do you see this?

So I guess New York is just, like,

the best thing ever, huh?

I wouldn't say that.

Well, you happy there?

Sometimes.

I don't know, Nick.

What do you want me to say?

I don't know. I wake up

one morning and you're gone.

No note, nothing.

I don't belong on this island, Nick.

The thing I always loved most

about you...

...is you were the one person

who understood that.

The day you left,

I bought you something.

- What?

- A ring.

You bought me a ring?

No. But I thought about it.

You're such a liar.

- Are you okay?

- I think so.

- What the hell was that?

- Murderers.

Nothing but murderers.

Blood for blood.

Father Malone.

Nicholas.

Elizabeth.

Did you see what happened

back there?

- I...

- Did something hit us?

I didn't see anything.

Looking for my car.

It's around here somewhere.

I can't...

Sure you're all right?

Yeah.

Man, I can't see nothing.

- What's going on?

- These...

- The hell did you do?

- Nothing. I just called for help.

Oh, my God. There's something

right in front of us. Look at that.

Stop. Screaming will get

nothing done.

You all right? Calm down.

Just get us out of here, please.

You're all right.

You'll be okay, all right?

- Are there any lights anywhere?

- Wait. One second.

You okay?

Hello?

Is somebody out here?

Hello?

Sean.

- Sean.

- Does this radio work?

- It's gone. It's gone.

- What?

- What is?

- There was a big sailing ship.

- Y'all didn't see that ship?

- No.

I'm trying to tell you...

It was right here.

Let's just see what the hell

happened to the engine.

Jennifer, what are you doing?

- What the hell was that?

- I don't know. I don't know.

Dude, let's fix it

and get out of here.

- What the hell is that?

- Don't know.

Somebody in there?

- You sure you wanna go in there?

- My mom will kill me if I don't.

Call you tomorrow?

Good luck.

Hello?

Who's there?

It's me.

Well...

- This is a surprise.

- A good one?

Don't see any suitcases. I guess

that means you're not moving back.

I thought you'd be happy

I came back at all.

I wish you'd called me. I-

I mean, it's not like

I'm running a hotel here.

Good to see you too, Mom.

You waited.

You lasted 30 seconds longer

than I thought you would.

You're learning.

Did you say hello for me?

So where to now?

- Let's go to your place.

- For some wild and crazy sex?

With a strange hitchhiker?

You wish.

Elizabeth? Hey.

Hey, it's-What is it?

What's wrong?

I...

I keep seeing people...

...burning.

And they're screaming.

And I'm watching, and then...

And then I'm drowning.

It's just a dream.

It's just a dream.

I've been having them a lot.

It's why I came home.

Come here.

Come on.

Elizabeth.

Elizabeth.

Elizabeth.

Elizabeth.

You okay?

What are you doing down here?

It's freezing. Come on.

Let's go back to bed.

Mom.

Mom, wake up. Look what I found.

Andy, what is that?

I found it on the beach

between some rocks. It's heavy.

Feel.

Looks like it must've been somebody's

hairbrush once upon a time.

Want me to make you

some breakfast?

No, I wanna go back

down to the beach.

Fine, just a half an hour, okay?

I have to go into work early.

I have a very busy day.

Can I come to the station with you?

No. Not today, hon.

I have too much work to do.

But maybe later in the week, okay?

How's that?

Maybe Aunt Connie'll go to the beach

with you and help you find more stuff.

No.

All she does is eat Ding Dongs

and watch Jeopardy!

I love you.

"Love you too, Mom. "

It's usually after a storm when

anything's washed up on the beach.

Yeah, but we haven't had

a storm in months.

- It's an interesting piece, isn't it?

- Yeah, it is.

- I'll let you know.

- Thanks.

Oh, this is a beautiful piece.

If it washes up on the beach,

it's ours now, right?

Well, technically speaking.

So, what's it worth?

Hey, Nick.

Stevie, how you doing?

Great. I hear your girl's

back in town.

- Yeah, she is. She's back.

- Good. She's gonna be here a while?

Who knows.

Yeah, who knows.

Saved by the bell.

Hello? Hey, Uncle Hank.

- Elizabeth?

- Mr. Latham.

It is you. How are you, dear?

- Good.

- God, we missed you around here.

What are you up to?

This stamp. I feel like I've

seen it somewhere before.

You recognize it at all?

No. Can't say I do.

But I know Prince William Island.

It was a big trading post up north.

Gold, seal furs, fox pelts.

They traded with Shanghai

for spices and jade.

A lot of people got rich in a hurry.

So then why did they stop
