Try not to take it personally. 13 00:01:30,600 --> 00:01:35,920 Speaker 1: He's just very suspect of newcomers, especially those who come 14 00:01:35,920 --> 00:01:40,960 Speaker 1: in from the water.

You're right in any details you can recall? 32 00:03:26,440 --> 00:03:30,280 Speaker 1: Or would you say I just kind of found yourself 33 00:03:30,320 --> 00:03:40,600 Speaker 1: here the road? It is. Welcome home to dire book. Look, 34 00:03:41,520 --> 00:03:44,880 Speaker 1: I don't mean to interrogate you nothing. It's just so. 35 00:03:46,920 --> 00:03:49,560 Speaker 1: I don't get a ton of visits out here from 36 00:03:49,720 --> 00:03:54,160 Speaker 1: folks who came in under road. Usually the people that 37 00:03:54,280 --> 00:03:59,640 Speaker 1: show up here start off down there on the rocks, 38 00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:06,400 Speaker 1: dragged in on the tide. Funny thing, Ain't it? Old 39 00:04:06,480 --> 00:04:10,320 Speaker 1: Damn point of a lighthouse is to make sure boats 40 00:04:10,600 --> 00:04:16,000 Speaker 1: don't crash, but there ain't never any boats out there 41 00:04:16,200 --> 00:04:23,120 Speaker 1: to begin with, just the people down there and them rocks. 42 00:04:24,920 --> 00:04:30,760 Speaker 1: You sure you're not the seafaring type? Okay, okay, just 43 00:04:30,960 --> 00:04:35,240 Speaker 1: double checking, because if you was, you'd know that Diet 44 00:04:35,279 --> 00:04:39,159 Speaker 1: Brook hardly has any business even having a lighthouse. Ain't 45 00:04:39,160 --> 00:04:43,040 Speaker 1: no trade routes without a couple hundred miles here, and 46 00:04:43,080 --> 00:04:48,159 Speaker 1: we're not exactly a tourist destination. So who are we 47 00:04:48,360 --> 00:04:55,120 Speaker 1: keeping a light on? Four this lighthouse was abandoned where 48 00:04:55,400 --> 00:04:59,560 Speaker 1: before I took a post here. No idea where it 49 00:04:59,680 --> 00:05:03,599 Speaker 1: came from when it was operational last. To be honest, 50 00:05:03,640 --> 00:05:05,680 Speaker 1: I only moved in in the first place because I 51 00:05:05,720 --> 00:05:08,080 Speaker 1: needed a place to squat while I figured out my 52 00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:12,440 Speaker 1: next move. See Me, I didn't come in from there 53 00:05:12,440 --> 00:05:15,680 Speaker 1: on the sea either. Why? I came in, like you, 54 00:05:16,360 --> 00:05:20,400 Speaker 1: on the road, running away from what life had differed me. 55 00:05:21,520 --> 00:05:26,839 Speaker 1: Is that what you're doing? You're running. Well, I can't 56 00:05:26,839 --> 00:05:31,880 Speaker 1: speak for you. I had run for too long by 57 00:05:31,920 --> 00:05:36,600 Speaker 1: the time I found myself here and I was tired. 58 00:05:37,720 --> 00:05:41,760 Speaker 1: I wanted to turn things around, find some great appurtose 59 00:05:41,839 --> 00:05:48,520 Speaker 1: and all of that, but may commends for my past sins. 60 00:05:49,920 --> 00:05:52,720 Speaker 1: Where do you get started with something as big as 61 00:05:52,760 --> 00:05:56,320 Speaker 1: being reborn? Sure as hell not out in the world. 62 00:05:57,480 --> 00:06:00,400 Speaker 1: I don't know how people can hear themselves think. Kind 63 00:06:00,440 --> 00:06:03,560 Speaker 1: of clear day out there, let all listen, so odd 64 00:06:04,240 --> 00:06:07,200 Speaker 1: that they can hear the ticking at their innermost clockwork. 65 00:06:08,640 --> 00:06:19,320 Speaker 1: But then I found myself here die are book quiet queen. 66 00:06:21,040 --> 00:06:26,840 Speaker 1: But the people you met him right, something not right 67 00:06:26,920 --> 00:06:30,560 Speaker 1: about him. EXTEP me out a little from again. Friendly 68 00:06:30,640 --> 00:06:33,960 Speaker 1: like sure offered me a place to stay in the 69 00:06:34,080 --> 00:06:37,559 Speaker 1: infant at the diner, through your old damn welcome body 70 00:06:37,640 --> 00:06:41,640 Speaker 1: in the town square, but that take your way down 71 00:06:41,680 --> 00:06:44,400 Speaker 1: in the very most complicated parts of my old damn being. 72 00:06:44,520 --> 00:06:50,440 Speaker 1: told me that while they was good folks, they was off. 73 00:06:52,720 --> 00:06:57,320 Speaker 1: But if it was solitude I was looking for, this 74 00:06:57,560 --> 00:07:02,279 Speaker 1: was sure the lace I was going to signed. I 75 00:07:02,279 --> 00:07:05,760 Speaker 1: had seemed the lineouts down on the road and came 76 00:07:05,839 --> 00:07:14,920 Speaker 1: up to explore. The place was all right and through 77 00:07:15,040 --> 00:07:17,880 Speaker 1: you could hear the wind and the waves whistling through 78 00:07:17,920 --> 00:07:20,600 Speaker 1: the open spaces in the walls and Sneel and it 79 00:07:20,720 --> 00:07:24,760 Speaker 1: was all salt hair and choose the smell of black bulls. 80 00:07:26,160 --> 00:07:30,280 Speaker 1: Exactly what I was looking for. Oh I fine it. 81 00:07:30,280 --> 00:07:34,000 Speaker 1: I learned my key a few spare bulbs and storage, 82 00:07:34,600 --> 00:07:37,320 Speaker 1: huge pain, and he asked focus half of them. Their 83 00:07:37,360 --> 00:07:40,560 Speaker 1: film has busted, but I found the working woman got 84 00:07:40,560 --> 00:07:45,320 Speaker 1: it assaid Nice and pretty. It's the switch. And what's 85 00:07:45,360 --> 00:07:50,520 Speaker 1: that sucker shine? Mesmerizing, watching that beam sweep over the 86 00:07:50,640 --> 00:07:54,680 Speaker 1: roll and waves like a constant reminder of the world 87 00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:58,640 Speaker 1: in front of her. I can't feel my darkness being 88 00:07:58,760 --> 00:08:03,880 Speaker 1: chased away. And that night from day one. But that 89 00:08:04,200 --> 00:08:10,720 Speaker 1: night wasn't without its horror, of course. I remember thinking 90 00:08:11,800 --> 00:08:15,720 Speaker 1: that first poor fellow whod up was lucky to be alive. 91 00:08:17,200 --> 00:08:22,880 Speaker 1: We looked at mess. That man was a priest's thoughts, 92 00:08:23,240 --> 00:08:27,119 Speaker 1: man of God. His color was still fixed in his shirt, 93 00:08:27,160 --> 00:08:31,960 Speaker 1: but everything else was all shredded and threadbare. Beyond his clothes, 94 00:08:32,080 --> 00:08:36,920 Speaker 1: even serrated fleshwoods, bones broken and all kins were natural ways. 95 00:08:37,760 --> 00:08:42,840 Speaker 1: Were more striking was the state of his skin. Couldn't 96 00:08:43,080 --> 00:08:47,760 Speaker 1: put my finger on it. What it seemed that just hangered, 97 00:08:49,040 --> 00:08:54,560 Speaker 1: especially around the more vulnerable areas, his eyes and the 98 00:08:54,679 --> 00:08:58,720 Speaker 1: kindness of his mouth. Like when you tenderize a piece 99 00:08:58,760 --> 00:09:04,160 Speaker 1: of meat, it loses all elasticity, becomes this play do thing. 100 00:09:04,280 --> 00:09:08,080 Speaker 1: That looks more masked than man when he was disoriented 101 00:09:08,160 --> 00:09:13,280 Speaker 1: and shoot. Understandably so. You ever had a near death experience, 102 00:09:13,360 --> 00:09:16,520 Speaker 1: let me tell you, no matter how it happens, till 103 00:09:16,559 --> 00:09:19,360 Speaker 1: you're standing on the precipice of the VIBE and spit 104 00:09:19,640 --> 00:09:23,120 Speaker 1: right into it, will do something to you. Not Okay, 105 00:09:23,320 --> 00:09:26,599 Speaker 1: you are. Nobody comes back from that for same. And 106 00:09:26,679 --> 00:09:29,439 Speaker 1: I thought that's what I was dealing with. Here is 107 00:09:29,559 --> 00:09:33,800 Speaker 1: this priest, this survivor. Oh he was all in a 108 00:09:33,880 --> 00:09:36,520 Speaker 1: patic something about his friends still being down on the rocks, 109 00:09:36,760 --> 00:09:41,080 Speaker 1: but their boat having suddenly vanished right out from under 110 00:09:41,120 --> 00:09:43,160 Speaker 1: them while they were cruising the coast looking at get 111 00:09:43,200 --> 00:09:48,559 Speaker 1: this Christmas lights along the shore. Now this was mid July, 112 00:09:48,679 --> 00:09:52,079 Speaker 1: hotter and a two dollar pistol, and this Vala was 113 00:09:52,200 --> 00:09:57,000 Speaker 1: talking to me about Christmas Lights Concost, I was sure 114 00:09:57,000 --> 00:09:59,920 Speaker 1: of it. So I gave an old father, patner's friend 115 00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:02,160 Speaker 1: and up off of them rocks and brought them to 116 00:10:02,200 --> 00:10:09,559 Speaker 1: see the good doctor duck in town, God neighbor. Their 117 00:10:09,880 --> 00:10:15,960 Speaker 1: boat was called the witchcraft we, believe it or not, 118 00:10:16,080 --> 00:10:19,480 Speaker 1: spooking fucking name for a boat. If you asked me why, 119 00:10:19,800 --> 00:10:24,240 Speaker 1: I like to imagine black sails and all that, but 120 00:10:24,480 --> 00:10:32,400 Speaker 1: I'll never know. The boat never turned. Then came to 121 00:10:32,400 --> 00:10:36,800 Speaker 1: the others, screams the likes of which I never had 122 00:10:37,160 --> 00:10:40,280 Speaker 1: written through my sleep so violently I thought they were 123 00:10:40,320 --> 00:10:44,120 Speaker 1: my own demons catching off with me. We were travelers, 124 00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:47,680 Speaker 1: usually one or two at a time. To orienter panic, 125 00:10:49,120 --> 00:10:52,280 Speaker 1: I began to wonder how this many boats going aground 126 00:10:52,360 --> 00:10:56,000 Speaker 1: on my rocks. What is it about this place that 127 00:10:56,240 --> 00:11:00,839 Speaker 1: just choose them up and digests them all? Shoot all, 128 00:11:00,840 --> 00:11:03,920 Speaker 1: I wonder. What's a quiet place to find my calling, 129 00:11:04,720 --> 00:11:09,760 Speaker 1: to figure out what I was here on earth to do. Well, 130 00:11:09,840 --> 00:11:12,160 Speaker 1: every time I lifted a pen to start right in 131 00:11:12,200 --> 00:11:17,120 Speaker 1: the next great American novel, Lord Have You, they would 132 00:11:17,120 --> 00:11:23,520 Speaker 1: turn up down there on the rocks. It wasn't until 133 00:11:23,679 --> 00:11:29,120 Speaker 1: the crew the Merry Celeste turned up that my suspicions 134 00:11:29,120 --> 00:11:36,560 Speaker 1: were confirmed. Oh, the crew of the Merry Celeste weren't 135 00:11:36,600 --> 00:11:41,400 Speaker 1: survivors per se, nor they've been lost at sea for 136 00:11:41,440 --> 00:11:46,600 Speaker 1: a long, long time. Their flesh, they had been picked 137 00:11:46,640 --> 00:11:50,280 Speaker 1: at by fiddler crabs. If eyeballs turned a white grape jelly, 138 00:11:51,160 --> 00:11:54,640 Speaker 1: exposed bones, washed and bleached, scrubbed clean by the salt 139 00:11:54,679 --> 00:12:01,960 Speaker 1: of the sea. Of course they were dead. Seven crew members. 140 00:12:02,200 --> 00:12:07,440 Speaker 1: They kept it and his wife and infant child. So 141 00:12:09,080 --> 00:12:12,600 Speaker 1: what was I supposed to see, to do when they 142 00:12:12,840 --> 00:12:16,640 Speaker 1: pulled themselves up on those rocks right out of the 143 00:12:16,679 --> 00:12:21,640 Speaker 1: ocean and staggered tards me, all confused and desperate. They 144 00:12:21,679 --> 00:12:24,640 Speaker 1: were nothing but a tattered group of order like corpses 145 00:12:24,920 --> 00:12:30,440 Speaker 1: who thought all was lost until they saw my light, 146 00:12:31,760 --> 00:12:35,840 Speaker 1: the beam from my lighthouse up Deacon, to draw them 147 00:12:35,840 --> 00:12:39,200 Speaker 1: towards another chance, a hot meal, a swallow for their baby. 148 00:12:40,120 --> 00:12:45,520 Speaker 1: I brought them here and I realized why. Had brought 149 00:12:45,600 --> 00:12:50,080 Speaker 1: them all here, not just this group. While all of 150 00:12:50,160 --> 00:12:53,360 Speaker 1: them father paid his body down. Every single other man 151 00:12:53,400 --> 00:12:56,240 Speaker 1: and woman had washed up on those rocks. I brought them. 152 00:12:56,640 --> 00:13:02,560 Speaker 1: They'd come to my light room me. They had another chance. 153 00:13:05,559 --> 00:13:12,600 Speaker 1: As you understand why I'm surprised to see you here 154 00:13:13,360 --> 00:13:16,960 Speaker 1: like this. Then not many people make it out this 155 00:13:17,080 --> 00:13:26,480 Speaker 1: way alive, so I ain't gonna ask you again. Are 156 00:13:26,600 --> 00:13:34,400 Speaker 1: you sure you remember how you got here? Absolutely positive. 157 00:13:35,360 --> 00:13:40,160 Speaker 1: It was on the road, Y, if you say so. 158 00:13:40,320 --> 00:13:43,280 Speaker 1: Maybe you're just searching for your purpless tool, like I was. 159 00:13:43,400 --> 00:13:50,600 Speaker 1: Mine on me. I found it years ago. I keep 160 00:13:50,679 --> 00:13:54,720 Speaker 1: the light going, reaching out across the ways, a siren 161 00:13:54,880 --> 00:13:58,880 Speaker 1: call for damned souls, and they come. Ever since the 162 00:13:58,960 --> 00:14:01,200 Speaker 1: light has been on, they calmed by, greet them with 163 00:14:01,320 --> 00:14:04,360 Speaker 1: open arms and give them a new home mind the 164 00:14:04,520 --> 00:14:09,240 Speaker 1: welcoming committee for the dead, and to every one of 165 00:14:09,320 --> 00:14:15,440 Speaker 1: them I give the same greeting.
