THANK YOU, MR. BRACKETT,

FOR YOUR CONCERN

FOR ME AND MY HUSBAND.

THOUGH, I ASSURE YOU, WE'RE JUST FINE

AS I TOLD YOU YESTERDAY.

I JUST THOUGHT, WITH THOSE INSPECTORS...

I UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU THOUGHT.

BUT I ASSURE YOU WE'RE FINE.

[JOHAN] AND I'LL STAY

HOW ARE THINGS AT THE LIGHT?

FINE, REALLY.

HE CAME IN WITH THE STORM.

HE WASHED UP ON THE ROCKS.

IS THAT SO?

MM.

WELL, HE MUST BE SHAKEN UP.

YES, HE, HE SAID HE WAS ON A BOAT

OUT OF LONDON.

DO YOU KNOW WHERE IT WENT DOWN?

NOTHING OF A LONDON BOAT.

OH.

PEOPLE ALWAYS GOT TRAPPED IN THE STORM UP AT ROCK BLUFFS,

BUT-- WELL, THEY GOT BANGED UP, BUT CAME IN ALL RIGHT.

OH.

LUCKY HE MADE IT TO YOU AND THOMAS.

WELL, I SHOULD REALLY BE GETTING BACK TO THOMAS, IF...

I SEE, I SEE.

ANYTHING TO POST?

OH.

THOMAS HASN'T WRITTEN

OH, WELL, UH...

LOTS TO PREPARE WITH THE YEARLY INSPECTION COMING.

OH, I SEE, I SEE.

MM-HMM.

MUST BE SO MUCH WORK.

IT IS.

BEEN THERE ALMOST FIVE YEARS NOW.

SOME MAYOR IN THE WOODS COULDN'T GET ANYONE TO MOVE THERE,

FILL THE TREES FOR FARMING.

SO HE WENT TO SWEDEN.

IMPORTED 51 SWEDES

TO WORK THE LAND.

MEN.

BUT ALSO WOMEN AND CHILDREN.

SMALL COMMUNITY.

THREE DAYS RIDE OR SO.

STRAIGHT NORTH THROUGH THE FOREST.

MORE OF THEM COME EVERY YEAR.

THEY WORK HARD.

BUT THEY CAN'T SPEAK PROPER ENGLISH.

AND, WELL...

THEY'RE JUST DIFFERENT FROM US.

OH. MM.

HERE IT IS.

THIS CAME THREE WEEKS AGO.

MM.

YOU SHOULD KNOW,

FOLKS HAVE BEEN TALKING ABOUT THE LIGHT

GOING ON LATE.

A STORM NIGHT, NO LESS.

I KNOW.

AND MR. EATON WAS JUST IN TO WIRE A COMPLAINT

TO THE OFFICIALS.

OH, HE'S NEVER

GOTTEN OVER THE FACT THAT HE DIDN'T GET THAT JOB WHEN...

WHEN THOMAS WAS POSTED HERE.

YES, WE... WE KNOW.

JUST SO YOU KNOW.

IT'S FOR YOUR HUSBAND.

WISH HIM WELL FOR ME.

I WILL.

GOOD DAY, MRS. MOORE.

GOOD DAY.

AND GOOD DAY, SIR.

THANK YOU.

THANK YOU.

GOODBYE.

TAKE CARE.

I, UM...

I DON'T KNOW WHERE I'LL GO.

WE AREN'T FROM HERE, EITHER.

[ABBIE] WELL...

I SUPPOSE YOU COULD RUN THINGS AROUND THE HOUSE.

NO.

I'M NOT STAYING.

DON'T HIRE ME.

NO.

NO... I WON'T HIRE YOU.

THIS CAME FOR YOU TODAY.

"MY DEAR BROTHER,

"I DO HOPE THIS REACHES YOU BEFORE WINTER.

"THE THOUGHT OF ONE MORE WINTER WOULD DO YOU IN,

"WHAT WITH ALL THOSE STAIRS AND...

"ABBIE KEEPING YOU BUSY DAY AND NIGHT.

"YOU ARE BOTH MOST WELCOME TO STAY WITH US.

"MOTHER WOULD BE SO THRILLED.

"YOU PROMISED YOU'D WRITE SOON,

"AND, YET, STILL NOTHING COMES.

"L FEAR THIS MEANS YOU'VE TURNED TO THE BOTTLE.

"AT LEAST TELL US YOU'RE PACKING AND ON YOUR WAY.

YOUR LOVING SISTER, MARGARET."

[INSPECTOR 1] MR. MOORE?

MR. MOORE?

VERY ODD.

THEY WERE INFORMED, WERE THEY NOT?

[INSPECTOR 2] YEP.

INSPECTOR?

IS EVERYTHING ALL RIGHT, MRS. MOORE?

YES.

YOU SURE YOU'RE ALL RIGHT?

YES.

AND WHO MIGHT THIS GENTLEMAN BE?

THIS IS JOHAN.

YES.

JOHAN GUNARSON.

I SEE.

[ABBIE] I SAVED HIS LIFE.

HE ALMOST DROWNED.

ARE YOU WELL?

[ABBIE] YES.

AND YOU?

AND WHERE IS MR. MOORE?

HE'S DEAD.

PARDON ME?

HE DIED SIX WEEKS AGO.

[INSPECTOR 2] six WEEKS AGO?

THAT'S CORRECT.

[CLEARS THROAT]

I'M-I'M VERY SORRY FOR YOUR LOSS, MRS. MOORE.

THANK YOU.

[INSPECTOR 1] WHY mo...

HOW IS IT THAT WE WERE NOT INFORMED?

I WASN'T CERTAIN OF HIS DEATH UNTIL NOW.

L-I DON'T UNDERSTAND.

[ABBIE] I SIMPLY...

WASN'T CERTAIN OF HIS DEATH UNTIL JUST NOW.

MIGHT WE, UH...

MIGHT WE COME IN AND HAVE A CUP OF TEA?

[SOFT MUSIC PLAYING]

[FOOTSTEPS APPROACHING]

[INSPECTOR 1] WELL,

HOW HAVE THINGS BEEN WITH THE LIGHT,

APART FROM...

[ABBIE] FINE.

[INSPECTOR 1] AND MR. EATON INFORMED us

THAT THE LIGHT WAS ON LATE THE NIGHT OF THE STORM.

[ABBIE] YES, IT WAS LATE.

UH... I WAS LATE.

[INSPECTOR 1] YES, I SEE IT ls

NOTED IN THE LOG.

I HAVE BEEN UNDER A GOOD DEAL OF STRAIN,

YOU MIGHT SAY.

[INSPECTOR 1] OF COURSE. OF COURSE.

[ABBIE] I-l JUST...

HOPE THAT I WASN'T CAUSE

FOR THAT RECENT SHIPWRECK.

SHIPWRECK?

WHAT SHIPWRECK?

THE LONDON BOAT.

MA'AM, THERE HAS NOT BEEN ANY SHIPWRECK.

N-NO.

BUT THERE WAS A...

[INSPECTOR 2] OH, IT WAS A ROUGH STORM INDEED,

BUT ALL THE REPORTS CAME IN THAT THE SHIPS MADE IT THROUGH.

THERE WAS THAT CLIPPER FROM LONDON.

SHE CAME PRETTY CLOSE TO SHORE,

BUT HELD STEADY THROUGH THE NIGHT.

GOOD SEAMEN ON HER,

I'M-I'M TOLD.

WELL...

I MUST'VE MIXED UP STORIES FROM MRS. WILLIAMS.

WHO IS MRS. WILLIAMS?

THE POST MASTER'S WIFE.

AH, YES.

YES, QUITE THE LITTLE HOSTESS.

I WAS IN FOR A ROUND OF APPLE CAKE LAST YEAR

WHEN THE, WHEN THE RAINS HIT US.

WELL, YOU'LL SEE THAT THINGS ARE IN QUITE GOOD ORDER.

CLEANED AND POLISHED,

TENDED TO.

DESPITE MY HAVING BEEN ON MY OWN.

[INSPECTOR 2] I'M SURE.

I'M SURE THEY ARE.

YES.

REGARDLESS, WE WILL HAVE TO MAKE OUR ROUNDS.

YOU DO UNDERSTAND.

YES.

OF COURSE.

PLEASE.

I WILL BRING YOUR TEA UP TO THE LIGHT.

YES, THAT WOULD... THAT WOULD BE NICE.

I SUPPOSE HER HUSBAND LEFT HER THIS STAIR TO REPAINT.

IT SEEMS HE LEFT HER A BIT MORE THAN JUST THAT.

PAINT SHIPMENTS DIDN'T MAKE IT TO THE NORTHERN STATION.

THE LAST COUPLE OF YEARS.

[INSPECTOR 1] MM, IS THAT RIGHT?

[INSPECTOR 2] YEAH.

SO...

NO SHIPWRECK.

NO.

YEAH. I SEE.

HOW DID YOU GET HERE?

PASSENGER SHIPS DON'T COME THIS FAR NORTH.

LONDON BOAT.

A LONDON BOAT DIDN'T SINK.

NO SINK.

I LEAVE.

YOU WANT TO LEAVE?

- NOW? - NO, NO.

I... I DID LEAVE.

YOU LEFT?

YES, I LEFT.

YOU ABANDONED YOUR POST?

YES.

I TOOK A SMALL BOAT FROM THE SHIP AND...

AND I LEFT.

YOU TOOK A BOAT FROM THE SHIP

AND YOU RODE?

I HAD TO.

AND YOU LIED.

YOU MADE ME THINK THAT SHIP WENT DOWN BECAUSE OF ME.

I THOUGHT THERE MIGHT BE MORE PEOPLE LOST.

I HAD TO COME HERE.

SHE DIDN'T KNOW FOR CERTAIN?

THE LENS IS SPOTLESS.

SHE MUST KNOW THAT IT'S UNACCEPTABLE.

SHE'S NOT THE ASSISTANT KEEPER, IS SHE?

NO, NO, I THINK ONLY HER HUSBAND OFFICIALLY HELD THE POST.

WELL, THEN, SHE HAS NO BUSINESS EVEN BEING HERE.

THERE'S ONLY ONE WOMAN I KNOW WHO'S STANDING HER POST

AND... IT'S NOT A SEA LIGHT,

IT'S JUST A SMALL POST BY A LAKE.

IS EVERYTHING IN ORDER, GENTLEMEN?

MRS. MOORE, I'VE RARELY SEEN A LIGHT IN SUCH PERFECT CONDITION.

WELL, I DO CARE FOR IT.

REMEMBER THAT TOWER LAST WEEK?

I COULD HARDLY BELIEVE ANY BEAM COULD GET THROUGH ALL THAT SALT.

I CLEAN THE WINDOWS REGULARLY TO KEEP THE SALT FROM BUILDING UP.

WE'LL BE SURE TO PUT THAT IN THE REPORT.

WE'RE QUITE THROUGH.

INDEED. INDEED.

[INSPECTOR 2] MRS. MOORE, I AM TRULY SORRY FOR YOUR LOSS.

[ABBIE] THANK YOU.

[INSPECTOR 1] YOU DO KNOW THAT WE MUST EXAMINE YOUR POSITION HERE.

[ABBIE] I THOUGHT THAT MIGHT BE THE CASE.

AND THIS GUEST, THIS GUEST OF YOURS,

NO ONE IS ALLOWED INTO THE TOWER

WITHOUT THE OFFICIAL LIGHTHOUSE KEEPER.

YES.

I'M AWARE OF THAT.

YES, WELL, THAT BEING SAID,

UNTIL WE ARE INFORMED AS TO WHAT TO DO WITH THIS POST,

YOU MUST ASSUME ALL POST DUTIES.

YES, WELL, I...

I HAVE ASSUMED THE DUTIES, SIR.

YES.

WELL, THEN...

YOU HAVE ANY FAMILY?

IN MARYLAND.

IS THERE ANYONE WE SHOULD CONTACT ON YOUR BEHALF,

LET THEM KNOW YOU'LL BE COMING?

HAVEN'T I DONE WELL?

[INSPECTOR 2] EXCELLENT. I RARELY SEE THIS.

WELL, WE'LL WAIT TO SEE WHAT THE HEAD OFFICE SAYS.

MRS. MOORE...

IT IS NOT CUSTOMARY FOR A LIGHTHOUSE POST

TO GO TO A WOMAN.

BUT IT HAS BEEN DONE BEFORE.

ONCE.

THAT YOU KNOW OF.

WELL...

I THANK YOU, INSPECTORS, FOR YOUR VISIT,

AND FOR THE SUPPLIES.

OF COURSE, MRS. MOORE.

YES, WE WILL LET YOU KNOW IF WE HEAR ANYTHING.

JUST DON'T TELL ANYONE YOU JUMPED SHIP, ALL RIGHT?

YOU WILL BE ARRESTED.

AND WALK STRAIGHT NORTH

WITH THE SEA TO YOUR RIGHT

UNTIL YOU GET TO MASON BAY.

AND WHEN YOU GET THERE,

THERE YOU CAN ASK FOR NEW SWEDEN.

YOU UNDERSTAND?

MM-HMM.

AND IF ANYONE ASKS, JUST...

JUST TELL THEM YOU CAME BY A PASSENGER SHIP

[EATON] HOW COME, ABBIE?

HOW COME YOU DIDN'T TELL NO ONE?

I DIDN'T WANT ANYONE GRABBING AT MY POST.

WELL, THEY'LL BE SOME GRABBING NOW.

- EATON AT THE TOP OF THE LIST. -[MEN LAUGH]

[ABBIE] OH, YOU ALL KNOW

EATON'S AT THE BOTTLE FAR TOO OFTEN TO TEND THE LIGHT.

JUST LIKE MY HUSBAND WAS.

YOU KNOW THAT.

YOU ALL KNOW I'M THE ONE THAT'S BEEN TENDING THE LIGHT

SINCE WE MOVED HERE.

THEY'LL CHECK THE LOG BOOKS.
