WEBVTT - S2/E12 | The Lighthouse

0:00:00.040 --> 0:00:06.640
<v Speaker 1>M thirteen days of Halloween is from grim and mild blumhouse,

0:00:06.800 --> 0:00:12.000
<v Speaker 1>and I heart three D audio headphones recommended. Listener discretion advised.

0:00:21.560 --> 0:00:28.600
<v Speaker 1>So this is your father? Yes, and no. He's the

0:00:28.600 --> 0:00:32.760
<v Speaker 1>man who raised me. Well, what happened to your real parents?

0:00:34.080 --> 0:00:38.040
<v Speaker 1>I never knew them. He found me the same way

0:00:38.080 --> 0:00:44.480
<v Speaker 1>that I found you on the beach. Yes, how old

0:00:44.520 --> 0:00:59.800
<v Speaker 1>were you? An infant? MM HM. Did you grow up

0:01:00.320 --> 0:01:05.280
<v Speaker 1>in here? Don't be silly. There's a house a little

0:01:05.280 --> 0:01:10.520
<v Speaker 1>further up the path. That's where we lived. It's since collapsed.

0:01:11.040 --> 0:01:16.200
<v Speaker 1>He's lived here upstairs since, with the light bathed in it.

0:01:17.240 --> 0:01:20.600
<v Speaker 1>How does he sleep? I'm not sure that he does anymore.

0:01:22.240 --> 0:01:30.560
<v Speaker 1>Come so, he's very temperamental. Try not to take it personally.

0:01:30.600 --> 0:01:35.920
<v Speaker 1>He's just very suspect of newcomers, especially those who come

0:01:35.920 --> 0:01:40.960
<v Speaker 1>in from the water. Don't you worship the sea? M Hm,

0:01:41.760 --> 0:01:49.880
<v Speaker 1>he's not really one of us. Hello that you go? Yes, sir, well,

0:01:49.920 --> 0:01:53.720
<v Speaker 1>don't harbor in the stairs. Will come on up. Whatever

0:01:53.840 --> 0:01:58.760
<v Speaker 1>happens to not tell him how I found you. Why

0:01:59.120 --> 0:02:07.600
<v Speaker 1>he doesn't trust the scene. Girl coming, is that WHO's

0:02:07.600 --> 0:02:11.320
<v Speaker 1>start with? You said, stepped close from my eyes, played

0:02:11.360 --> 0:02:18.080
<v Speaker 1>tricks in the light well, this is a friend of mine, Papa. Yes, yes,

0:02:19.440 --> 0:02:26.320
<v Speaker 1>from moments I thought you who. For a second I

0:02:26.320 --> 0:02:31.240
<v Speaker 1>thought I saw a ghost. She looked like George Barrow

0:02:31.400 --> 0:02:38.119
<v Speaker 1>in the shadows, George Barrow. Isn't that a good man?

0:02:38.240 --> 0:02:44.360
<v Speaker 1>George was but a damn fool. Where you say you

0:02:44.560 --> 0:02:49.000
<v Speaker 1>came in from, Miss I didn't. She came in from

0:02:49.080 --> 0:02:56.480
<v Speaker 1>the road. What's that? The road, I see, you see.

0:02:56.680 --> 0:03:03.360
<v Speaker 1>Would you like a drink, whether it's frightful tonight? Yes, please, yes, please,

0:03:05.040 --> 0:03:08.520
<v Speaker 1>I hear child. You can drink from my glass. I've

0:03:08.560 --> 0:03:13.480
<v Speaker 1>had enough tonight. Thank you. Now which way. You say

0:03:13.560 --> 0:03:18.840
<v Speaker 1>you came in from the road. You're sure about that

0:03:20.120 --> 0:03:26.360
<v Speaker 1>and you remember? You're right in any details you can recall?

0:03:26.440 --> 0:03:30.280
<v Speaker 1>Or would you say I just kind of found yourself

0:03:30.320 --> 0:03:40.600
<v Speaker 1>here the road? It is. Welcome home to dire book. Look,

0:03:41.520 --> 0:03:44.880
<v Speaker 1>I don't mean to interrogate you nothing. It's just so.

0:03:46.920 --> 0:03:49.560
<v Speaker 1>I don't get a ton of visits out here from

0:03:49.720 --> 0:03:54.160
<v Speaker 1>folks who came in under road. Usually the people that

0:03:54.280 --> 0:03:59.640
<v Speaker 1>show up here start off down there on the rocks,

0:04:00.640 --> 0:04:06.400
<v Speaker 1>dragged in on the tide. Funny thing, Ain't it? Old

0:04:06.480 --> 0:04:10.320
<v Speaker 1>Damn point of a lighthouse is to make sure boats

0:04:10.600 --> 0:04:16.000
<v Speaker 1>don't crash, but there ain't never any boats out there

0:04:16.200 --> 0:04:23.120
<v Speaker 1>to begin with, just the people down there and them rocks.

0:04:24.920 --> 0:04:30.760
<v Speaker 1>You sure you're not the seafaring type? Okay, okay, just

0:04:30.960 --> 0:04:35.240
<v Speaker 1>double checking, because if you was, you'd know that Diet

0:04:35.279 --> 0:04:39.159
<v Speaker 1>Brook hardly has any business even having a lighthouse. Ain't

0:04:39.160 --> 0:04:43.040
<v Speaker 1>no trade routes without a couple hundred miles here, and

0:04:43.080 --> 0:04:48.159
<v Speaker 1>we're not exactly a tourist destination. So who are we

0:04:48.360 --> 0:04:55.120
<v Speaker 1>keeping a light on? Four this lighthouse was abandoned where

0:04:55.400 --> 0:04:59.560
<v Speaker 1>before I took a post here. No idea where it

0:04:59.680 --> 0:05:03.599
<v Speaker 1>came from when it was operational last. To be honest,

0:05:03.640 --> 0:05:05.680
<v Speaker 1>I only moved in in the first place because I

0:05:05.720 --> 0:05:08.080
<v Speaker 1>needed a place to squat while I figured out my

0:05:08.160 --> 0:05:12.440
<v Speaker 1>next move. See Me, I didn't come in from there

0:05:12.440 --> 0:05:15.680
<v Speaker 1>on the sea either. Why? I came in, like you,

0:05:16.360 --> 0:05:20.400
<v Speaker 1>on the road, running away from what life had differed me.

0:05:21.520 --> 0:05:26.839
<v Speaker 1>Is that what you're doing? You're running. Well, I can't

0:05:26.839 --> 0:05:31.880
<v Speaker 1>speak for you. I had run for too long by

0:05:31.920 --> 0:05:36.600
<v Speaker 1>the time I found myself here and I was tired.

0:05:37.720 --> 0:05:41.760
<v Speaker 1>I wanted to turn things around, find some great appurtose

0:05:41.839 --> 0:05:48.520
<v Speaker 1>and all of that, but may commends for my past sins.

0:05:49.920 --> 0:05:52.720
<v Speaker 1>Where do you get started with something as big as

0:05:52.760 --> 0:05:56.320
<v Speaker 1>being reborn? Sure as hell not out in the world.

0:05:57.480 --> 0:06:00.400
<v Speaker 1>I don't know how people can hear themselves think. Kind

0:06:00.440 --> 0:06:03.560
<v Speaker 1>of clear day out there, let all listen, so odd

0:06:04.240 --> 0:06:07.200
<v Speaker 1>that they can hear the ticking at their innermost clockwork.

0:06:08.640 --> 0:06:19.320
<v Speaker 1>But then I found myself here die are book quiet queen.

0:06:21.040 --> 0:06:26.840
<v Speaker 1>But the people you met him right, something not right

0:06:26.920 --> 0:06:30.560
<v Speaker 1>about him. EXTEP me out a little from again. Friendly

0:06:30.640 --> 0:06:33.960
<v Speaker 1>like sure offered me a place to stay in the

0:06:34.080 --> 0:06:37.559
<v Speaker 1>infant at the diner, through your old damn welcome body

0:06:37.640 --> 0:06:41.640
<v Speaker 1>in the town square, but that take your way down

0:06:41.680 --> 0:06:44.400
<v Speaker 1>in the very most complicated parts of my old damn being.

0:06:44.520 --> 0:06:50.440
<v Speaker 1>told me that while they was good folks, they was off.

0:06:52.720 --> 0:06:57.320
<v Speaker 1>But if it was solitude I was looking for, this

0:06:57.560 --> 0:07:02.279
<v Speaker 1>was sure the lace I was going to signed. I

0:07:02.279 --> 0:07:05.760
<v Speaker 1>had seemed the lineouts down on the road and came

0:07:05.839 --> 0:07:14.920
<v Speaker 1>up to explore. The place was all right and through

0:07:15.040 --> 0:07:17.880
<v Speaker 1>you could hear the wind and the waves whistling through

0:07:17.920 --> 0:07:20.600
<v Speaker 1>the open spaces in the walls and Sneel and it

0:07:20.720 --> 0:07:24.760
<v Speaker 1>was all salt hair and choose the smell of black bulls.

0:07:26.160 --> 0:07:30.280
<v Speaker 1>Exactly what I was looking for. Oh I fine it.

0:07:30.280 --> 0:07:34.000
<v Speaker 1>I learned my key a few spare bulbs and storage,

0:07:34.600 --> 0:07:37.320
<v Speaker 1>huge pain, and he asked focus half of them. Their

0:07:37.360 --> 0:07:40.560
<v Speaker 1>film has busted, but I found the working woman got

0:07:40.560 --> 0:07:45.320
<v Speaker 1>it assaid Nice and pretty. It's the switch. And what's

0:07:45.360 --> 0:07:50.520
<v Speaker 1>that sucker shine? Mesmerizing, watching that beam sweep over the

0:07:50.640 --> 0:07:54.680
<v Speaker 1>roll and waves like a constant reminder of the world

0:07:55.000 --> 0:07:58.640
<v Speaker 1>in front of her. I can't feel my darkness being

0:07:58.760 --> 0:08:03.880
<v Speaker 1>chased away. And that night from day one. But that

0:08:04.200 --> 0:08:10.720
<v Speaker 1>night wasn't without its horror, of course. I remember thinking

0:08:11.800 --> 0:08:15.720
<v Speaker 1>that first poor fellow whod up was lucky to be alive.

0:08:17.200 --> 0:08:22.880
<v Speaker 1>We looked at mess. That man was a priest's thoughts,

0:08:23.240 --> 0:08:27.119
<v Speaker 1>man of God. His color was still fixed in his shirt,

0:08:27.160 --> 0:08:31.960
<v Speaker 1>but everything else was all shredded and threadbare. Beyond his clothes,

0:08:32.080 --> 0:08:36.920
<v Speaker 1>even serrated fleshwoods, bones broken and all kins were natural ways.

0:08:37.760 --> 0:08:42.840
<v Speaker 1>Were more striking was the state of his skin. Couldn't

0:08:43.080 --> 0:08:47.760
<v Speaker 1>put my finger on it. What it seemed that just hangered,

0:08:49.040 --> 0:08:54.560
<v Speaker 1>especially around the more vulnerable areas, his eyes and the

0:08:54.679 --> 0:08:58.720
<v Speaker 1>kindness of his mouth. Like when you tenderize a piece

0:08:58.760 --> 0:09:04.160
<v Speaker 1>of meat, it loses all elasticity, becomes this play do thing.

0:09:04.280 --> 0:09:08.080
<v Speaker 1>That looks more masked than man when he was disoriented

0:09:08.160 --> 0:09:13.280
<v Speaker 1>and shoot. Understandably so. You ever had a near death experience,

0:09:13.360 --> 0:09:16.520
<v Speaker 1>let me tell you, no matter how it happens, till

0:09:16.559 --> 0:09:19.360
<v Speaker 1>you're standing on the precipice of the VIBE and spit

0:09:19.640 --> 0:09:23.120
<v Speaker 1>right into it, will do something to you. Not Okay,

0:09:23.320 --> 0:09:26.599
<v Speaker 1>you are. Nobody comes back from that for same. And

0:09:26.679 --> 0:09:29.439
<v Speaker 1>I thought that's what I was dealing with. Here is

0:09:29.559 --> 0:09:33.800
<v Speaker 1>this priest, this survivor. Oh he was all in a

0:09:33.880 --> 0:09:36.520
<v Speaker 1>patic something about his friends still being down on the rocks,

0:09:36.760 --> 0:09:41.080
<v Speaker 1>but their boat having suddenly vanished right out from under

0:09:41.120 --> 0:09:43.160
<v Speaker 1>them while they were cruising the coast looking at get

0:09:43.200 --> 0:09:48.559
<v Speaker 1>this Christmas lights along the shore. Now this was mid July,

0:09:48.679 --> 0:09:52.079
<v Speaker 1>hotter and a two dollar pistol, and this Vala was

0:09:52.200 --> 0:09:57.000
<v Speaker 1>talking to me about Christmas Lights Concost, I was sure

0:09:57.000 --> 0:09:59.920
<v Speaker 1>of it. So I gave an old father, patner's friend

0:10:00.000 --> 0:10:02.160
<v Speaker 1>and up off of them rocks and brought them to

0:10:02.200 --> 0:10:09.559
<v Speaker 1>see the good doctor duck in town, God neighbor. Their

0:10:09.880 --> 0:10:15.960
<v Speaker 1>boat was called the witchcraft we, believe it or not,

0:10:16.080 --> 0:10:19.480
<v Speaker 1>spooking fucking name for a boat. If you asked me why,

0:10:19.800 --> 0:10:24.240
<v Speaker 1>I like to imagine black sails and all that, but

0:10:24.480 --> 0:10:32.400
<v Speaker 1>I'll never know. The boat never turned. Then came to

0:10:32.400 --> 0:10:36.800
<v Speaker 1>the others, screams the likes of which I never had

0:10:37.160 --> 0:10:40.280
<v Speaker 1>written through my sleep so violently I thought they were

0:10:40.320 --> 0:10:44.120
<v Speaker 1>my own demons catching off with me. We were travelers,

0:10:45.000 --> 0:10:47.680
<v Speaker 1>usually one or two at a time. To orienter panic,

0:10:49.120 --> 0:10:52.280
<v Speaker 1>I began to wonder how this many boats going aground

0:10:52.360 --> 0:10:56.000
<v Speaker 1>on my rocks. What is it about this place that

0:10:56.240 --> 0:11:00.839
<v Speaker 1>just choose them up and digests them all? Shoot all,

0:11:00.840 --> 0:11:03.920
<v Speaker 1>I wonder. What's a quiet place to find my calling,

0:11:04.720 --> 0:11:09.760
<v Speaker 1>to figure out what I was here on earth to do. Well,

0:11:09.840 --> 0:11:12.160
<v Speaker 1>every time I lifted a pen to start right in

0:11:12.200 --> 0:11:17.120
<v Speaker 1>the next great American novel, Lord Have You, they would

0:11:17.120 --> 0:11:23.520
<v Speaker 1>turn up down there on the rocks. It wasn't until

0:11:23.679 --> 0:11:29.120
<v Speaker 1>the crew the Merry Celeste turned up that my suspicions

0:11:29.120 --> 0:11:36.560
<v Speaker 1>were confirmed. Oh, the crew of the Merry Celeste weren't

0:11:36.600 --> 0:11:41.400
<v Speaker 1>survivors per se, nor they've been lost at sea for

0:11:41.440 --> 0:11:46.600
<v Speaker 1>a long, long time. Their flesh, they had been picked

0:11:46.640 --> 0:11:50.280
<v Speaker 1>at by fiddler crabs. If eyeballs turned a white grape jelly,

0:11:51.160 --> 0:11:54.640
<v Speaker 1>exposed bones, washed and bleached, scrubbed clean by the salt

0:11:54.679 --> 0:12:01.960
<v Speaker 1>of the sea. Of course they were dead. Seven crew members.

0:12:02.200 --> 0:12:07.440
<v Speaker 1>They kept it and his wife and infant child. So

0:12:09.080 --> 0:12:12.600
<v Speaker 1>what was I supposed to see, to do when they

0:12:12.840 --> 0:12:16.640
<v Speaker 1>pulled themselves up on those rocks right out of the

0:12:16.679 --> 0:12:21.640
<v Speaker 1>ocean and staggered tards me, all confused and desperate. They

0:12:21.679 --> 0:12:24.640
<v Speaker 1>were nothing but a tattered group of order like corpses

0:12:24.920 --> 0:12:30.440
<v Speaker 1>who thought all was lost until they saw my light,

0:12:31.760 --> 0:12:35.840
<v Speaker 1>the beam from my lighthouse up Deacon, to draw them

0:12:35.840 --> 0:12:39.200
<v Speaker 1>towards another chance, a hot meal, a swallow for their baby.

0:12:40.120 --> 0:12:45.520
<v Speaker 1>I brought them here and I realized why. Had brought

0:12:45.600 --> 0:12:50.080
<v Speaker 1>them all here, not just this group. While all of

0:12:50.160 --> 0:12:53.360
<v Speaker 1>them father paid his body down. Every single other man

0:12:53.400 --> 0:12:56.240
<v Speaker 1>and woman had washed up on those rocks. I brought them.

0:12:56.640 --> 0:13:02.560
<v Speaker 1>They'd come to my light room me. They had another chance.

0:13:05.559 --> 0:13:12.600
<v Speaker 1>As you understand why I'm surprised to see you here

0:13:13.360 --> 0:13:16.960
<v Speaker 1>like this. Then not many people make it out this

0:13:17.080 --> 0:13:26.480
<v Speaker 1>way alive, so I ain't gonna ask you again. Are

0:13:26.600 --> 0:13:34.400
<v Speaker 1>you sure you remember how you got here? Absolutely positive.

0:13:35.360 --> 0:13:40.160
<v Speaker 1>It was on the road, Y, if you say so.

0:13:40.320 --> 0:13:43.280
<v Speaker 1>Maybe you're just searching for your purpless tool, like I was.

0:13:43.400 --> 0:13:50.600
<v Speaker 1>Mine on me. I found it years ago. I keep

0:13:50.679 --> 0:13:54.720
<v Speaker 1>the light going, reaching out across the ways, a siren

0:13:54.880 --> 0:13:58.880
<v Speaker 1>call for damned souls, and they come. Ever since the

0:13:58.960 --> 0:14:01.200
<v Speaker 1>light has been on, they calmed by, greet them with

0:14:01.320 --> 0:14:04.360
<v Speaker 1>open arms and give them a new home mind the

0:14:04.520 --> 0:14:09.240
<v Speaker 1>welcoming committee for the dead, and to every one of

0:14:09.320 --> 0:14:15.440
<v Speaker 1>them I give the same greeting. Welcome home to die

0:14:15.440 --> 0:14:25.080
<v Speaker 1>our book. That's an incredible story. Yeah, it's a way

0:14:25.120 --> 0:14:29.360
<v Speaker 1>to pass the time. At least say this one. Here.

0:14:30.560 --> 0:14:36.680
<v Speaker 1>She was different, she was living and breathing. Where aren't

0:14:36.720 --> 0:14:41.000
<v Speaker 1>you girl? Papa, I wanted to check in with you.

0:14:41.920 --> 0:15:01.440
