The Sinner

- Hey. - Ah, that took a while.

Yeah, there was a line at the bathroom.

You see out there?

There's a little notch in the horizon at two o'clock.

Uh-huh.

That's Clark Harbor.

- Lobster rolls await. - Okay.

Hmm.

"The 'Bazegw Legend' tells a story of De Paor,

"an Irish settler on Hanover Island.

"With his family facing starvation,

"the God-fearing De Paor sacrificed his daughter

"on Bazegw Cliff to appease a vengeful God.

"Miraculously, the cod returned for everyone

but De Paor."

Another story of male overreach.

He must've been hungry.

Come on.

You made it!

- Mm! - Oh.

Hi.

- You had a smooth ride? Not too choppy?

No, it was... it was perfect.

Oh, this is Harry. Harry, Greta.

- Hi. - So this is the guy.

Yeah, he managed to stick around.

Many men have tried and failed. You must have skills.

It's all her.

Oh, my God, Greta.

Oh, my God.

This is amazing.

Oh, the light.

The good news is,

if you want to stay for longer than two weeks, it's all yours.

I talked to Deedee.

She's not coming up till August.

- Oh, that's amazing. I could stay here all summer.

You... you can hear the waves.

That'll help with your insomnia.

Uh-huh.

Two lobster rolls.

Enjoy. Enjoy.

- Thanks, Steph. Getting busier, huh?

Oh, yeah, we're getting the, uh, summer crowds now,

and our hauls are getting bigger... fingers crossed.

- Enjoy your meal. - Thank you.

So she and her husband, Mike Lam,

worked on the fishing boats here for years.

No one complained.

Then they start their own fishing operation.

Nine months ago, they open up this place.

Now some locals are grumbling about a Chinese takeover.

I mean, the island is beautiful and enchanting and all that,

but locals can be provincial little shits.

- That's terrible. - Mm.

- What about you? Have you had any trouble?

- Oh, no. No one's worried about me.

I'm a broke lesbian painter. I'm not taking over anything.

So, Harry, what are you gonna do with yourself

when she's off painting all day?

I thought I'd explore the island a little bit.

I have my plant

and my tree guides.

He's... he's a bit of a botanist.

So you're... You're fully retired now?

Yeah, it's over a year.

I guess it was time.

Sounds like you deserve it.

I mean, the stuff that Sonya told me, I...

I still can't believe what you both went through

with that psychopath.

W-what was his name again?

Jamie Burns.

- Um, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to...

- That's okay. That's okay.

It's... it's just been a bit of a... of a process.

Yeah.

That's why we needed a change of scenery.

Ah.

So... so, tell me, what's, um... what's this

about you giving up on the male nudes?

- That cannot be for real. - I guess, yeah.

Uh, after everything with Jamie,

it just didn't feel right anymore.

I want to paint light now, the sky.

You know, I-I think I'm going to leave

you two to catch up, and I'm gonna take a stroll.

Oh, okay.

Oh.

You need some good boots to survive this shoreline.

- Yeah. -

- Tourist's thing to do, huh? - Maybe.

But you managed to find the one quiet spot

in the midst of the mayhem.

That's a sign of character in my book.

It's good, isn't it?

Yeah, it's where I come to recharge.

I work for my family, so, you know...

I need the breaks.

We're... we're up in that big red building down there...

- Muldoon Fish Company. - Oh, yeah.

I saw the T-shirts.

Mm.

Yeah, we're pretty much everywhere on this island.

They say you can never escape your family, right?

I guess that's right.

Yeah, well, sure is for me.

So are you a fisherman...

woman-type?

- Or a fisherwoman? -

Do you fish?

Actually, just so you know, the, uh...

the women who fish

prefer to be called "girl fishermen,"

which... which, personally, I think is problematic

on multiple levels.

But what can you do?

Have you, uh... Have you been here long?

I got here today.

Mm.

Has she spoken to you yet?

Who?

The ocean.

Uh...

I don't think so.

Mm, she will.

She's in a mood today.

How can you tell?

It's like a-a vibration

or frequency or something.

Does that sound weird?

No, it's...

I usually even wonder if nature notices us at all.

I think she does.

Yeah, all the time.

Well, my time's up.

You have a good one.

Yeah, you too.

Was that okay?

Yeah.

It was perfect.

It's just...

I'm never quite sure how hard to do it.

I-I don't want to hurt you.

Was that hard enough?

Looked like you wanted to hurt me.

So it was perfect.

Wait, where's your medication?

I don't... I don't see it here.

Actually, I left them at home.

- W-what do you mean? That's... that's not good.

- Yeah, it's okay. I...

You can't just stop antidepressants

like that all at once... That's really dangerous.

I know. I've been weaning myself off them.

Dr. Carragher's advising me.

- What do you... What? That's... Since when?

It's been a few weeks now.

I told you.

You said you were thinking about it.

You didn't say that you were actually doing.

Well, I never should have been on them begin with.

That was the therapist's idea, and that's all over with now.

I wish you had told me.

I-I really think that's something I should know about.

Yeah.

You're right.

Won't that just make your insomnia worse?

No.

It'll be fine.

Leave me alone.

Leave me alone.

I'm serious.

Stop it!

Hey!

Hey!

Hey!

Hey!

East cove is clear!

Let's move over to the west.
