Adam Gene invites you
to join them each week.

- It's not real.

It's not real.

- No.

It's nothing, really.

I'm gonna be on my way.

Right now, actually.

- Doesn't sound like nothing.

Let me take a look.

- No.

You really don't...

have to.

- I wasn't gonna do anything, miss.

Just trying to be a good samaritan.

Why don't you pop the hood?

See what I can do.

Have a nice day.

- Well.

"Down went Alice.

"Everyone's considering how in the world

"she would get out.

"Down. Down. Down.

"Would the fall ever come to an end?

"And here Alice began to get rather sleepy

"and went on saying to herself,

"in a dreamy sort of way,

"Down. Down. Down.

"Thump. Thump.

"Down, she came upon a heap
of sticks and dry leaves,

"and the fall was over."

- I don't know much about cars.

That's never given me trouble until now.

- Why don't you hop in,
I'll give you a ride.

I live in a town about five miles up here.

Take you to a mechanic.

Hook you up with a tow.

- Well.

I don't really know if
I wanna leave my car.

- Okay.

Just stay our here all by your lonesome

and see how that goes.

Come on, hop in.

I'll give you a ride.

You're a farmer?

No, I cook and
clean at the diner in town.

I do a little of everything, actually.

Manager of sorts.

Name's Victor, by the way.

Abigail.

So are you
going to the hunt tonight?

It's become quite the legacy around here.

- Ah, no.

- All right, here is the Atlantis Inn.

Shouldn't be too difficult to get a room.

- I'm not staying the night.

- Look, Abigail,

things kind of move at a little bit of

a different pace around here

so just keep that in mind, okay?

Okay.

Well, welcome to downtown Ocean City.

Right here is the diner.

That's where you can find me.

If you need any toiletries,

they're over here at the pharmacy.

The events are gonna be
held at the factory tonight.

- I know, we're nowhere near an ocean,

but call it wishful thinking.

You're gonna like it here.

And here we are.

- Thanks for the ride.

- Sure.

It was a pleasure.

Look, maybe I'll see
you at the hunt tonight.

Or stop by the diner and I'll...

make you something to eat.

Hello?

Hello?

Hello?

I need a tow.

You've got to be kidding me.

Deep breaths.

Just a minute.

- Well, it's a bathroom.

- My wallet.

Tissues.

- My car.

The engine.

I was looking--

- Okay, look,

I just can't be too careful
seeing somebody I don't know.

Out-of-towner, like yourself.

- Sorry.

I was just looking for someone
to help me get my car towed.

- On State Road 15.

About five miles--

- Come back in a few hours.

I'll get it taken care of.

- I put you in your normal room.

Things have been slow lately.

Even with the event tonight,

it should be a relatively
quiet weekend for you.

- Let's hope so.

- Oh, a new face.

It's refreshing.

First time in Ocean City?

Oh, who am I kidding?

Of course it is.

We don't get many visitors these days.

- I'm just passing through.

- Oh, well you picked a
heck of a day for that.

Tonight is the hunt.

Yes, I've heard.

I don't think I'll be going.

Why did you do that?

- It's what we do here.

Guest pictures.

Like our own version of a guest book.

You're gonna like it here.

- So I've been told.

- One room.

- Oh, of course.

How many nights?

- One.

- Great, I'll just need a
credit card to put on file.

We're not planning on booking up.

You're welcome to stay
as long as you'd like.

Miss?

You'll be in room 201.

It's around the banister
at the top of the stairs.

I practically live here.

So if you need anything,
you know where to find me.

- And up and down.

Okay, eight more.

Keep breathing.

Five.

Four more.

Three more.

Straighten your legs out in front.

- You got David.

It's me.

- Hey!

I was beginning to wonder
if everything was all right.

You missed our early afternoon call.

I wasn't near a phone.

It's been one of those days.

I had an attack and I'm out of pills.

I knew I should've refilled--

- Slow down, slow down.

Have you been practicing the breathing?

- Yes, I have been
practicing the breathing.

That's not the problem.

I'm hearing things.

I think I'm hallucinating, David.

I dreamed I hit some woman on a back road

and now I'm stuck on the bumfuck town

and I just want to go home.

And you know, if you hadn't
forced me to leave early,

then I--

- Nobody forced you to
do anything, Abigail.

In light of the circumstances,

you need these extra few days.

Time to clear your head.

Next week's gonna be a tough one.

Where'd you end up going?

My car broke down.

I'm in Ocean City waiting
for it to be fixed.

Maybe, sure.

I really don't know.

This wasn't part of the plan.

I was supposed to reach
my hometown tonight,

relax up there, you know?

- You're definitely out of your element,

but it's not necessarily a bad thing.

Not a bad thing?

- Deep breaths.

Deep breaths.

- Listen,

can you send a prescription
over to the pharmacy here?

Please?

I need it.

Only if your breathe.

You'll get through this, Abigail.

- Okay.

I promise I'll do the breathing.

Let's talk soon.

Be safe.

- Typically you knock before entering.

This is a shared bathroom.

By the way, what was that
noise you were making?

You sound like a vacuum cleaner.

- Sorry.

It was deep breathing.

My psychiatrist asks me to do it.

Do all the stores close this early?

- Not always.

But tonight's special.

Are you going to the hunt?

- No.

- What have I told you girls
about talking to strangers?

Out.

And shame on you.

- I just asked her a question.

Thank you so much.

I really.

- Oh, I'll get it up and running.

- Oh.

Sorry about earlier.

It was nothing personal.

- It's gonna take a few days.

Took a look at your car before I towed it.

You need a few parts.

- Okay.

Whatever.

- Parts we don't have.

I really need to leave tomorrow.

I have somewhere important to be.

- Well,

really it's nothing personal.

I'll order the parts.

Probably get here by Monday.

- Monday's a long time for something.

- You know, I was just trying to be kind.

I saw a pretty chick.

A damsel in distress, if you will.

I just wanted to help.

- It was very sweet.

- But you had other ideas
in that head of yours.

I'll fix your car.

Find you when we're finished.

There's only so many places
you can hide in this town.

- I'm really glad you decided to come.

It's gonna be a blast.

Are you sure you don't want the mask?

- It was an old manufacturing factory.

It shut down years ago.

That's when everybody left.

What have I gotten myself into?

- Have fun, Abigail.

- Yeah.

I don't remember giving you my name.

- You didn't.

You'll learn pretty quickly I know

all about everything and
everybody in this town.

Well I'm glad you could make it.

Nothing quite compares to
the tradition of the hunt.

I hear your car got towed to the shop.

That's a step in the right direction.

Sheriff, I've
been looking for you.

- Excuse me, Abigail.

- I just wanted to say,

I know this weekend is tough for you,

but my family is keeping
you in our thoughts.

- I really appreciate that.

- How long has it been
sinc your wife got--

- Hey.

- Hey, look who it is,

in the flesh.

That your outfit?

- Yeah.

I didn't realize I would be
the only one without one.

- Well.

Now, you're not the only one.

Wanna get a drink at the bar?

- I actually think I'm
gonna head out soon.

- Come on.

The hunt hasn't even started yet.

- Ladies and gentlemen.

Welcome to the 14th
annual Ocean City Hunt.

I'm very excited this year

because we are going to be hunting

for Neptune's Trident.

But remember, this is a team event,

so make sure to grab your mate.

Go.

- It's something we do every year.

We search for an oceanic themed item.

It's kinda like a scavenger hunt.

- Okay, I'm definitely leaving now.

- No, come on.

I don't have a partner.

I need you.

Please.

- Fine.

- Plus, I came prepared.

Not my first time.

So how you liking Ocean City?

- No.

But I am curious.

What brings you this direction?

Where were you going?

- I don't want to talk about that.

Victor?

Victor?

This isn't funny.

- Tonight.

We leave tonight.

Say you'll come with me.

Abigail?

- That wasn't funny, Victor.

I don't appreciate you leaving me.

- I didn't leave you.

You ran off.

I've been here the whole time.

Are you okay?

- I'm fine.

Can I ask you a question?

What happened to the Sheriff's wife?

- You heard me.

The sheriff's wife.

- She disappeared like four years ago.

It's kind of a sore subject around here.

Leave that one alone.

Someone else found the trident again.

Ready to go?

- "The sea was wet, as wet could be.

"The sands were dry as dry.

"You could not see a cloud

"because no cloud was in the sky.

"No birds were flying overhead.

"There were no birds to fly.

"In Wonderland they lie,

"dreaming as the days go by.

"Dreaming as the summer die."

Go away!

Stop!

Just stop!

That isn't funny.

What do you want?

- Hey!

Were you looking for me?

You found me.

No going in here.

Did you have fun at the hunt?

I didn't see you at closing ceremonies.

- You're very to the point.

I like that about you.

The building's old.

I guess you could say it
has a life of its own.

The lights flick on and off.

I just checked the generator.

Should be up and running any...

Any second now.

Would you look at that?

- I'm going back to bed.

- Well, sleep tight.

Don't let the bedbugs bite.

Just kidding.

We don't have bedbugs here.

Who is this?

It's freezing.

Please, help.

- Look, I don't have time for.

- Well, well, well.

Look who decided to try my cooking.

- It's not like I had any choice.

You're the only joint in town.

- That's true.

But I hear that the pharmacy has a mean

chocolate chip ice cream.

Well, I was gonna head there anyway.

- Wait,

I'm bluffing.

Take a seat.

Meal's on the house.

Here you go.

- I don't generally like
people watching me eat.

- You don't generally like
a lot of things, do you?

- There's a man staying at the hotel.

He's really tall and pale.

I saw him at the hunt last night.

- A tall, pale man.

Are you feeling okay?

- Sorry.

He just gives me the skeevies.

I don't know.

He made all this noise last night,

trying to get my attention.

Asked me to follow him.

It was like he was trying
to tell me something.

Sounds crazy, I know.

Not exactly sure why I'm asking that.

I know that nothing
around here gets fixed.

- Quickly, yeah.

Looks like I'm gonna
be here for a few days.

- Waiting for parts to arrive.

- Well,

if that's the case,

then we should go out tonight.

- Yeah.

- That wasn't.

- Come on.

You and me.

Tonight.

Look, I promise not to drag you around

any abandoned buildings or anything, okay?

Plus, you have absolutely nothing
better to do in this town.

Maybe?

For the car ride.

- I kinda feel like you
owe me for last night.

- Well, let me make it up to you then.

- Okay.

- Okay.

- Okay.

All right.

I will let you eat

and I will

call you about it later

to set it up.

- You can't keep doing this.

I told you last year.

This is not going to become a tradition.

You aren't welcome here.

- I'm not hurting anyone.

Don't make this
any harder than it needs to be.

Damn it!

I heard a scream.

- Yes.

The top of my paint came off in my bag.

It spilled all over.

Rule number one.

Always check the caps twice.

I didn't mean to scare you.

Don't go.

I'm just gonna go wash my hands.

Stay there.

I didn't catch your name.

- Abigail.

- All right.

Violet Porter.

Come on, don't be shy.

What are you doing in Ocean City, Abigail?

- Visiting.

- Strange place to visit.

- I could say the same about you.

- I would tell you that I'm from here.

Born and raised in the town
that wishes it were on a coast.

I'm back here to do some painting,

if you haven't figured that out.

I've got some matters to attend to,

but I'm gonna be painting
outside tomorrow.

You should join me.

You'll still be in town?

- Unfortunately.

- See you then.

- Morning sunshine!

The boss likes me to scrub
the tubs over and over.

Got to make them spick and span.

- You have got to stop
popping up everywhere I go.

- Hey.

Why don't you try some of
that obnoxious breathing?

- This is David Dickinson.

With whom am I speaking?

Save me.

- Oh, my favorite client.

How's the beach?

- I don't know how
anybody could live here.

It can't be that bad.

Make the best of the situation.

It's all you can do.

- It's one of those towns, David.

You know, where the only way

that they can get people to stop by

is putting up signs on the interstate

promising ATMs

or large bathrooms.

Money and crap.

They make the world go around.

- I think I'm losing it, David.

I keep seeing this man.

- That's fantastic.

Glad to hear you're dating someone again.

What's he do?

- No, not like seeing a man.

I don't know if he's real.

I'm telling you, David,

I think I'm hallucinating.

It's probably
just all the stress

you got in your life right now.

You taking your pills?

- Yes.

Keep at it.

You'll make it through this.

Remember where you were just last week.

- Listen, whoever you are, stop.

Don't call again.

Well, hello to you too.

It's Victor.

- Oh.

I thought you were someone else.

- No, it's Victor.

Just victor.

I'm calling about tonight.

- You are quite the cook.

- Thanks.

It's always been a passion.

- No, I mean, you're really good.

- It was really nice to have some help

in the kitchen this time.

- Have you thought about

going somewhere else to pursue this?

- Thought about it.

I don't know.

If the right situation arose,

I guess I'd look into it.

I'd really like to own my own place.

Be my own boss.

- The talent is there.

What are you doing here, Abigail?

- I guess you could say I'm on leave.

Boss mandated leave.

I'm an assistant professor

at a literature department down south.

- Oh, so your book knowledge
far surpasses mine?

- It's possible.

What's that all about?

- My mother recently passed away.

- Abigail, I'm so sorry.

I didn't...

You know, my dad passed away.

I spend as much time with my mom as I can.

Were you two close?

- She was my best friend.

Her funeral is next week.

That's where I'm traveling to.

If my damn car ever gets fixed.

- Hey.

It gets better.

Will you excuse me for just a minute?

- Just finishing up dinner.

- Abigail, trespassing
is a serious offense.

- I'm not trespassing.

I'm here with Victor.

- Why don't you and I
go down to the station

and have ourselves a little chat?

- No.

Victor will be right back.

Help.

Help me.

- I don't know who you
thin you're fooling.

And I hate to say it but
from what I could tell,

you were about to get into the register.

- I was getting a napkin.

- You are clearly delusional.

Come on little miss,
hands behind your back.

- No!

No, let me go!

Let go of me.

Let go of me!

What's going on in here?

Abigail, are you okay?

- I just caught her trying to get--

- He thinks that I broke in

and was stealing from the register.

- She's here with me.

- Well, my mistake.

My deepest apologies.

Kitchen's closed for the night?

- Yeah, I'm afraid so.

I was just coming by--

- Sheriff, I'd be happy to
cook you a meal anytime.

Not tonight.

- You two enjoy yourselves.

Whole family's a little off.

Well, yeah.

Ice cream?

- Sure.

- I know you know Jimmy.

The town mechanic.

He's Kurt's boy.

You know, I try to be
patient with the two of them

in light of what happened, but...

Brain freeze?

- No.

You okay?

- I'm so cold.

- I wasn't gonna say anything.

- I have to go back. I'm not feeling well.

- Okay. All right.

Come on.

- Here you go, Abigail.

This should keep you
nice and warm and snug.

Of course, if you need anything,

I'll be in the other room,

but it seems like you're in the hands of a

strong,

capable,

handsome--

- I'm fine.

I think I'm okay, actually.

- Why don't you just
try and get some rest?

- Check the cellar.

- Well, I'm glad you could pencil me in

to your busy schedule.

- Wow.

You really could use some sun.

- Born and raised.

I heard you talking
with Kurt the other day.

- Let's talk.

Oh, this is the better time to be here.

The green.

The flowers.

All this life.

Tess likes to take warm walks together.

Venturing through the countryside.

What do you know?

- I know she was Kurt's wife.

I know she went missing.

Tess was a close friend from childhood.

She was the kind of person
I had to keep in touch with,

even when I moved to the city.

I come back here this time every year

in honor of her disappearance.

- Well,

I really can't say.

That's a tough one.

But there's one thing that
I've learned at my age

and that nothing ever is as it seems.

Tess was a volunteer nurse.

She was a social butterfly.

She cared about everybody.

She wouldn't hurt a soul.

What are you after?

- I have this connection with Tess.

I can feel it.

- I do miss her.

You let me know if you
find anything out, okay?

- Of course.

You said Tess was a volunteer?

At a hospital?

- No, at the old folk's home.

Right down the street.

- Brought your favorite, mom.

- I saw her.

It's chocolate pudding.

- I saw her again.

This time in the hallway.

- Mom, we've been through this before.

You remember what the doctor said.

- No.

Abigail?

Abigail?

- Hey.

- Hey.

What are you doing here?

- Just was in the neighborhood.

- Really.

- I was looking for
information on Tess Lee.

- That' a little out of the blue.

- Yeah, but I mean not personally.

She worked here.

You obviously figured that out.

But I told you,

she's kind of a sore subject in this town.

- Because people don't
just disappear here, okay?

And this is not the
weekend to be doing this.

- Because.

She disappeared the weekend of the hunt.

Can we please just talk about this later?

- Yeah. Bye.

Jimmy?

- Parts aren't here.

Won't be for another few days.

- That's no way to speak to a customer.

I need my car fixed.

Now.

- You're free to fill out a
complaint form in the office.

I take them real serious.

- I wanted to ask you about your mother.

She went missing four years ago.

This weekend, exactly.

If I heard that right.

- Don't poke the bear, miss.

Tess Lee?

- Don't you say her name,
you pasty little bitch.

- It's curiosity more than.

It's hard to imagine the wife
of the sheriff going missing.

Unless.

Now I don't know what you
think you're insinuating.

- Oh, big word.

- You just keep out of it.

You walk in here, prance
around like you own the place.

Well you don't know the half of it.

So fuck off.

- Fix my car.

Until then,

we'll see what I dig up.

- You know, this isn't
exactly what I had in mind

for a date.

- I needed your help.

- And I told you.

This is a sensitive subject here.

And it's completely
irrelevant, might I add.

Your car is going to be fixed
soon and then you can go.

Why spend your last couple
days playing detective?

And what are those?

- They're supposed to help with anxiety.

- This is it.

This is what I'm looking for.

"Ohio man found dead at Atlantis Inn."

This is the same weekend
Tess went missing.

"Richard Collins, 62, of Cleveland, Ohio

"was found dead in room
202 of the Atlantis Inn."

Right here, in Ocean City.

- Yeah, it also says there
was no foul play suspected

and that Richard Collin,
in fact, died of a stroke.

The two are not related.

- You don't find it
strange that a man died

that same weekend Tess went missing?

- No.

- I don't know how.

The man I keep seeing has to be connected.

- Abigail.

People die all the time.

That's something we have to accept.

I'm sorry.

I know that's hard.

Can we get out of here?

Like go get a drink or something?

I wanna talk to this guy.

The Pale Man?

- I don't think that's gonna be possible.

Let's get out of here.

- Let's just go.

- Howdy, pretty boy.

- Hey, Reese.

I didn't know you were working here.

You guys enjoy your night.

- You can go when I say you can go.

Lighten up, you just got here.

We're having a party, boys, come on.

Pretty little thing.

Jimmy said you got yourself a girlfriend.

Must feel good to put some
hair on that sack of yours.

And you, dating the fry cook.

I think your food may be the best thing

since that drive-thru
opened up a town over.

Personally, I'd rather starve to death

than have food poisoning.

- Victor!

Let go of me.

- Wrong move, fella,

but exactly what I was looking for.

- Whoa, Reese.

Okay, that was my mistake.

All right?

She has nothing to do with this.

She's done more than she
can could even realize.

Hey, I got an idea.

You and me.

Winner takes the broad.

Kick his ass.

- Stop it!

Stop!

Let us go!

Let us go!

- Pick him up for me.

Not so tough now, are you?

- Let go of me!

Let go!

- All right, all right.

That's enough.

Get out of here.

You okay?

Want me to take you to the hospital?

- No, I'll be all right.

Boys will be boys.

- Yeah, I know where they live.

They'll get reprimanded.

You better go get that cleaned up.

- Here.

This one's colder.

You've gotta do something.

- No, it's okay.

- No, it's not.

- Look.

All I care about is that you're safe.

- Victor.

- I'm sorry.

My mind is elsewhere.

I can't stop thinking about.

The Pale Man?

Tess Lee?

I just got my ass beat for you, Abigail.

- Yeah, look at me.

Okay, I told you to leave it alone.

You couldn't do it.

- I can't.

I can't explain it.

I'm drawn to this.

I have to figure it out.

Now I know where your priorities lie.

Have fun with your adventures, Nancy Drew.

- I wanted to ask you some questions.

Can we talk?

Who were you with that night of the hunt?

Who are you?

What's your name?

Did you know Tess Lee?

- The other guest.

- You and Violet are the only guests.

- That isn't possible.

There's a man staying here.

He keeps changing rooms.

There isn't anyone else here.

- He isn't real.

Hello?

- Hey.

Is everything okay?

I didn't hear from you today.

I'm fine.

It's nothing to worry about.

- Okay.

- Could those new pills
that you prescribed me,

do they have any side affects?

Could they give me any weird symptoms?

- No.

No, they're just made to mellow you out.

Just to relax you.

You're only taking two a day,

right?

- Give or take.

- Time is running out.

- I have to go, David.

- Abigail.

I was just inspecting this counter.

Okay, I was asleep.

Do you need something?

- Tess Lee.

- That's what I thought.

Thanks.

What?

Violet?

Violet, I wanted to ask you about Tess.

I found something out last night.

Violet?

Sorry to wake you.

Violet?

Ginger!

Ginger, come quick!

- Well, they aren't certain
until they do the autopsy,

but Sheriff Lee told
me that the paramedics

think it was a stroke.

Excuse me.

- Do you really want to
continue staying here?

In light of everything?

I mean, I'm sure I could
find you another place.

- Yes.

I wanna stay.

- Okay.

Dearest Violet,

I've done something terrible.

I need your advice.

Something I thought I'd never do.

Love, as always. Tess Lee.

Who are you?

I saw a picture of you and Tess Lee.

Did you kill her?

You shouldn't have come.

I'm happy to see you.

Someone could see us.

- I don't want to wait any longer.

I'm ready to take you with me.

- We've talked about this.

If I go with you, he'll find us.

He won't take this lightly.

- Tonight.

We'll leave tonight.

Say you'll go with me.

- Yes.

Richard, I'll go with you.

Please, just talk to me.

Did you move me into my room?

What can I do to help?

- Richard Collins.

- Yes.

- You son of a bitch.

- No! No!

- No! No!

Don't!

No! Stop!

- You shoulda left when
you still had time.

- It's me.

I need your help.

- Long story short.

I was coming downstairs and
I was bring a guest a blanket

and he was there and I
wasn't expecting that

and we kind of had a little moment

where we locked eyes.

It was very exciting.

I kinda feel like there was some sort of

energy exchange.

Yeah and I don't really
know what to make of it.

I'm hoping that he comes by again

and maybe we can see where--

You're awake!

- I want you to hold on to these for me.

Just in case.

- I'm trusting you with this.

I'll see you later?

- Hopefully.

I want to get a closer look.

- No, Abigail.

He's home.

- I have to know.

- Abigail.

- Look in the cellar.

This is it, Victor.

There are bolt cutters in the barn.

Go get them.

I'm not going in there.

- Yes you are.

Here.

All right. Come on.

Let's go. Let's go.

Hey, you.

Where you going?

- Hey, honey.

Nowhere.

It's laundry night.

I figured after running
around the factory.

Clean sheets and shirts.

Your favorite.

- It's him.

You're leaving me for him?

- Richard Collins.

That's his name, right?

Your lover?

It's a small town, Tess.

You can't keep a secret like that from me.

- I didn't mean for it
to happen like this.

We've been distant.

- I saw you two at the hunt.

I thought it was just a one time thing.

Then I started thinking.

All those late night book clubs.

The need to go to far away groceries.

It makes sense now.

- Kurt, you were never home.

Do you love him?

- You've cared more about
your work than me for years.

- That son of a bitch.

- Please.

Spare him.

- Stop talking!

Stop!

Stop.

Please.

Stop.

Tess?

Tess?

She should've stopped.

I never intended to kill her.

- But you did.

- You shouldn't have come here.

- Okay.

We'll leave and go right now.

We won't tell anyone, I swear.

- Yeah, right.

You been watching too many movies.

- Shut the fuck up.

I knew there was something
about you, Abigail.

Snooping around.

Sticking your nose in
where it doesn't belong.

You know the drill.

Tie her up.

Tight!

None of that leaving it loose

so she can get her arm free.

No, no, no, no.

Come on. Move away.

Farther.

Farther.

Shut up.

Son of a bitch!

Get it over with.

- Abigail.

You okay?

- You better get her out of here.

- Come on, just breathe.

Breathe.

- Looks like I'm not the
only one dying tonight, huh?

- Shut up!

- Put the gun down.

Oh thank God.

- But the gun down.

- Jimmy, you don't understand.

Look in the freezer.

I promise, before you make any decisions.

Please.

- Move back.

- Do it!

Now, Jimmy.

Don't listen to them.

You don't understand.

- You told me she was missing.

For four years you've been
telling me she was missing.

Said she would come back any day.

- Son, let me explain.

- Get her out of here!

- You really should head home.

You've been here for days.

We'll call you if anything changes.

- No, I don't wanna leave her side.

Are their any updates?

- We haven't seen
anything like this before.

The good news is that she's stable.

Please, go get yourself some food.

She'll be here when you get back.

- Thank you.

For those
of you just now tuning in,

we've been keeping listeners up-to-date

with the developing
story out of Ocean City.

A truly bizarre double homicide.

According to state trooper reports,

the town's sheriff
allegedly killed his wife,

stuffed her in the family freezer.

The investigation is ongoing.

For now, it seems there
were no other witnesses.

- I'm sorry, but there've
been some complications.

This really isn't a good time.

- You don't understand.

I need to see her.

I didn't think that you were--

- Everything's okay now.

I'm fine, really.

- It's a miracle.

- We could call it that.

- I brought your stuff.

And there's a bedside phone,

in case you need to make any phone calls.

I'm sure there's plenty of
people waiting to hear from you.

- Yeah.

- Flush them down the toilet.

We have
a David Dickinson for you.

Shall I transfer him through?

Ma'am?

Ma'am?

- Yeah.

Alice?

Start from where you left off?

"Have I gone mad? He asked.

"I'm afraid so.

"You're entirely bonkers, replied Alice.

"But I'll tell you a little secret.

"All the best people are.

"Wake up, Alice, dear.

"Why, what a long sleep you've had.

"So Alice got up and ran off,

"thinking while she ran,

"as well she might.

"What a wonderful dream it had been."
