-[woman groans softly]
-Uh-oh.
-You okay?
-Mm-hmm.
Yeah, it's just--
-It's like I just can't sleep.
-Mm-hmm.
-My brain just won't shut off.
-Mm-hmm.
Okay.
Okay, stay in bed.
I'll just go do it myself.
-Mm-mm. Mm-mm. No, I'm coming.
-Yeah. It's all right, I got it.
Mm-mm. I'm coming.
I'm up.
[]
[laughs] They didn't buy it.
Ah, don't worry about it.
It's over.
-It's over, forget about it.
-Yeah.
-All right,
let's catch some bugs.
-Yeah, let's go.
[]
-[man] You're crazy.
-[woman] What are we doing?
-I don't know.
-That's nuts.
-I don't know, Anja. All right?
-You don't know.
[both laughing]
-[indistinct]
-[man] Why are you copying
everything I say?
Okay. I don't know.
Take the wheel, Anja.
Just drive.
-That is-- this is crazy.
-Just drive. You're fine.
-This is crazy.
-You're fine.
-Keep going, you're doing great!
-Are you kidding me?
-You're doing great.
-I swear...
-Can you take it now?
-Yeah, I got it.
[Anja] Thank you.
-Hang on.
-What are you-- what are you
doing?
-Just ashing it.
-Okay. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
-Come here, come here,
come here.
-Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Okay. We're here.
[]
Oh, no. Hey, st-- stop.
Stop nurdling me.
-[Anja laughing] Morning, Steph.
-Morning, Anja.
[man] Hey, what's up, Dee?
Running a little late
this morning.
Uh, yeah, well,
we would've been here by 4:00,
but Jamie needed
his beauty sleep.
-Yeah, well, one of us
needed to get some shut-eye.
-Mmm.
Anja's probably gonna
fall asleep in the bait.
What's it been,
like, three years?
When's he gonna
slap a ring on you?
Wow. Way to go.
You know, it was actually-- it
was gonna be a surprise today.
No way.
Okay.
Might as well do it now, then.
Shut up.
Anja...
will you marry me?
-[laughing] Oh, my God.
-Hey! Oh, what's with the--
Aw, huh?
That's not good enough for you?
Throw him back, Anja.
Plenty in the sea.
[laughs] Nah.
I think this one's a keeper.
I'm a keeper.
Wow. [grunts]
I got you pretty good
back there, didn't I?
Nah, I could tell
just by looking at you.
Mmm, I don't know.
I think even at the last moment
you weren't totally sure.
[laughs] Nah, you know,
I was actually thinking,
"Why is this man squandering
his life as a lobsterman
when he could have a brilliant
career as a stand-up comedian?"
Yeah?
Well, just so you know,
I'm gonna get you a real ring.
You know I don't care
about that.
-Yeah, you do.
-Um, no.
I've never pushed you
to get married, have I?
Yeah, well, when the time comes,
believe me,
I'm not gonna ask you
in some fucking bait shack.
Yeah, I get to look forward to
it to be in front of
the entire bar at Churchie's.
Well, yeah,
for the reception, sure, but...
[laughs]
Oh, God, you're kidding.
-Look at your face.
You're not kidding.
-No! But hey, look, look, look.
For the actual ceremony,
right, that's gonna be
somewhere classy, Anja.
That's gonna be on a beach,
or on one of the islands, or...
I mean, Christ, I'm not
a frickin' redneck, Anja.
Yeah, but you wanna have
the reception at Churchie's.
Yeah, well. You know we're
all gonna end up there anyway.
Look, we still have
your truck payment,
and what we paid out
for bait today,
and we're barely
gonna make back, so...
don't be giving me no ring while
we still have bills to pay.
"Don't be buying me no ring."
[Jamie]
All right, now, first off,
stop trying to sound all Maine
with that "Don't be
giving me no ring" crap.
All right, I won't
give you no double negatives.
Yeah. And second,
don't think you're gonna
be my sternman forever.
Why?
I'm getting pretty good at it.
Yeah,
you're getting better at it, but
you're not freakin' aces yet,
so, you know,
don't get ahead of yourself.
There's still a lot
that I gotta teach you,
which ain't gonna happen,
'cause you're not gonna be
on this boat for much longer.
Mmm, right. Women don't belong
on boats. They're bad luck.
All right, get ready.
We're coming up on
the first string.
Yep.
[mellow music]
[]
[]
[yawning]
Hey. You're tired.
-Mm-mm. Nope.
-Yeah, you are. Yeah.
-We're calling it.
-No.
-We're calling it.
-No, we got two more lines.
Anja, you need a nap. [chuckles]
And a glass of wine, too.
[man on radio] Ay-yuh,
Natural Born.
I hear you were a hit
with the harbor hogs at
Myrtle's the other night.
[man 2 on radio]
I don't remember a thing, guy.
Ask Eugley.
[man] Eugley, you on there?
Yeah, my sternman's tired.
[man] Who, Anja?
What the hell did you do now?
[man 2] Tired? Real tired?
Or just tired of your bullshit?
Hey, all you shut the fuck up,
all right?
[man] You're working her
too hard. Who makes a girl
haul his traps?
Hey, uh, Anja, be careful,
we got a big wake coming in.
[man] Eugley, you coming
to Churchie's later?
You still owe me a beer.
Yeah, I'm there.
Anja.
We're going to Churchie's, yeah?
Anja.
Anja.
[tense music]
Oh, fuck. She went overboard.
Sternman overboard! I need help,
somebody, right now!
[]
[shouting] Anja! Anja!
Fuck. Anya! God fucking damn it!
Where is everybody?
Anja!
[panting]
Fuck!
[]
[Jamie grunting]
[Jamie panting]
[]
Come on.
Come on.
[Anja coughing]
[melancholy music]
[]
[]
Thanks.
[Anja squeals]
-[Anja grunts]
-[Jamie] Anja.
[haltingly]
Let's go to The Landings
and get a coco rum.
-[giggling]
-I don't know about that.
But I-- I've been
waiting all day for you,
and I want to go to The Landings
and have some f-- fun.
You remember what the doctor
said, though, right?
You can't have a coke and rum.
[Anja] N-- no!
[Anja grunting]
[Carolyn] Hey, Jamie.
What's up, Carolyn?
-[Carolyn] Well,
you know, it's Friday.
-Jamie!
The Landings!
Anja, I think we're just
gonna have a nice night
at home tonight, okay?
Let's finish your exercise,
and then maybe we could
pick up some pizza.
Let's do this first, okay?
Come on.
Yeah,
that one goes in the middle.
And what's
the first number up top?
Hey, I'll be right back.
Okay? Be right back.
Was she giving you
any trouble this week?
No. This one here's great.
They're all perfect angels.
It's funding, staff, everything.
Tell him what Bruce
s-- said to me.
No, I told you, Anja,
you've got to ignore him.
-But he said--
-[Carolyn] No. It's okay.
-Nobody believes Bruce.
-Okay, but--
[Carolyn]
Draw 5:15 on the clock, Anja.
If I do it right,
can-- can we go out?
Maybe.
Do you see
any improvement at all?
Like, Carolyn, are these
exercises really helping her?
You've got to give it time.
Jamie, this isn't
going to happen overnight.
It's been years, Carolyn.
5:15.
You wanna go get ice cream?
Like, what about
all the weird things she says
and how she talks?
You know, like,
is it always gonna be that way?
There is a disconnect
in her brain.
She can't always find
the words she wants to say.
It might be a year or two before
some of the old Anja comes back.
Well, what do you mean?
Like, is-- is she ever
gonna be normal again?
Her brain was without oxygen
for an extended period of time.
It's called cerebral hypoxia.
We'll rehab her
as best as we can.
But to have this level
of functionality now,
consider yourself lucky.
Look, you just gotta be
honest with me. I gotta know.
With a lot of hard work
and someone to love her, Jamie,
she'll get back a lot of it.
Much better than
if she were left alone.
[telephone ringing]
-[man 2 on phone]
Hey, quiet. Chill out, man.
-Hello?
-Eugley. Where are you?
-'Sup there, Natural Born?
-[man 2] Let go
of the phone, Tadpole.
-[Anja] Is that Thongchai?
-We're at the barn. You coming?
-Uh, nah, nah, nah.
-Not tonight.
-Eugley, this one's a rager.
Dewey's setting up the band.
-Just bring Anja,
she can hang out.
-Uh, yeah, nah, she can't.
-What? I can't what?
-Ah, shit, man.
Tadpole just puked.
-[Jamie chuckles] Yeah?
-You're cleaning that shit up.
Yeah,
how's that tequila treating you?
-Man, it's getting everywhere.
Hey, hey, watch it!
-Just press 20 seconds, okay?
You can't leave me alone
with this guy, Eugley.
You gotta come over.
Uh... no, not tonight, man.
Is Anja right there?
Look, I get it.
[Jamie] Um, yeah. Yeah.
But you gotta fuckin'
have a life at some point.
We're going to Churchie's
Friday. Your mom can watch her.
Hey, uh, Anja.
Just press, uh, the two
and the zero, right there.
-I gotta go. Tadpole's a mess.
-I'll talk to you later.
-Where-- where's Thongchai?
-[microwave buttons beeping]
At The Landings?
Uh, no, he's at the Ogdens'.
There's a small party going on,
but...
-it's not, uh...
-[Anja gasps]
Oh, my God--
-Let's go-- go! Let's go.
-No. We're not going.
-[microwave beeping]
-I'll-- I'll drive.
Anja, when was
the last time you drove, huh?
-[Anja exclaims]
-[plate clatters]
-God damn fucking thing!
-Anja. Anja, Anja, Anja!
-Fuck this fucking thing!
-[plate shattering]
[Jamie] Hey! Hey. Hey, hey!
Shh, shh, shh!
I fucking hate you,
I fucking hate you!
Hey, hey. Shh.
-Anja.
-I fucking...
Anja,
it's just a slice on the floor.
All right? There's,
like, eleven more slices.
-[Anja grunting]
-Hey. Shh, shh, shh, shh.
-[softly] Hey, hey, hey, hey.
-[Anja weeping]
Hey. It's okay.
[Anja breathing heavily]
I-- I'm...
getting...
better.
Anja, stop nerdling me.
Still...
love...
me?
Yeah.
More...
than...
beer?
[Jamie laughs]
More than beer, huh?
[chuckles]
I don't know, darling.
I mean,
that really depends tonight.
Are we talking one, or
we talking the whole six-pack?
[both chuckling]
Oh, come here.
Come here, come here, come here,
come here, come here.
Put gription on it there.
Don't get all herky-jerky.
Work smarter, not harder.
[young Jamie] Grampy! Help!
[indistinct] I told you to
keep your foot out of the bite!
I got you. You're all right.
You just got caught up.
Happens to everybody.
You're gonna fish,
you're gonna get caught.
[young Jamie breathing heavily]
Don't tell your mother,
all right?
[Dee] Saw your dad and Paul
in here earlier.
Yeah, I hope that
didn't ruin your morning.
Hey, how's Anja doing?
-[door bell jingles]
-Yeah, I mean, she's, um--
It is gonna be
a beautiful day out there, huh?
Yeah, you guys have it
made all year round.
I do not get a view like this
where I'm from.
And where is that?
Uh, North Quincy.
Um, yeah, I mean, she's fine.
-You just gotta take it
day by day, you know?
-Yeah.
-Sorry to interrupt here.
-It's paying off.
I can see her getting better.
[clears throat]
Can I get a couple crates
of bluefish from you?
Can I get that here?
What do you need
all that bait for?
Uh, don't worry about it.
I have a license.
Yeah, well,
if you're from out of state,
all you got is
a recreational license,
which only gives you five traps,
so I don't know what
you need all that bait for.
Well, you don't need
to worry about it.
I know what the Maine laws are.
Really?
Well, what are your colors?
Wouldn't happen to be
yellow buoys, would it?
[scoffs]
How'd you know that?
'Cause those are the color buoys
that got snagged up
in my gear the other day.
And I didn't touch you, 'cause
I didn't know who you were.
But since you know
how Maine works,
you'll understand that
next time you set your traps
like an idiot,
you're gonna get
your strings cut.
The bait?
[rock music playing
over speakers]
[bar din]
[Thongchai] You used to be
so much more fun, guy.
-Another round?
-[Thongchai] Yeah, and, uh...
whatever those two are having.
Who are they?
Must be tourists.
That's what I was hoping for.
I'll be back.
Hey. Can I get some quarters
for the pool table?
-[woman] Yeah, how much?
-Lots.
Jeez, you must be pretty good.
I'm the best.
[Thongchai] Hey, Ugly.
Let's go, man. Come on.
It's all set up.
They're dying to meet you.
Let's go.
-Can you smile today?
-Yeah, sure.
So, uh, this is...
I'm Audrey.
-And that's Dana.
-Danna.
Danna.
Like, uh, banana?
Never heard that before.
Are you guys,
like, real lobstermen?
Oh,
we're natural-born lobstermen.
This is what we do.
-Where are you guys from?
-[Danna] We're juniors
at Princeton.
I'm majoring in art history,
and Audrey's
studying French lit.
My parents rented a big house
out here for the summer.
Amazing. That's--
that's pretty cool, huh?
-Dang. Yeah.
-[pool player] Whoo!
All right.
So check this out.
You guys see this?
-I got bit by a pig.
-Oh, Jesus Christ. Not the
frackin' pig story again.
So we're at this big party
at the Ogdens' house, right?
In their barn. Hanging out
with their pig all night long.
You feed anybody beer
all night long, they're--
-I'm gonna take a piss.
-All right. Don't mind him.
I'm feeding this pig beer...
Why do they call you Ugly?
You were listening?
Your friend's loud.
Uh, yeah, it's my last name.
Name, please?
Uh, James Eugley.
Occupation, James Eugley?
Hey, look, I was just
trying to hit the head.
[pool player] Oh, "the head"!
So we both work on boats.
Occupation?
-I'm a lobsterman.
-Oh.
Do you ever take people
on your lobster boat?
Yeah, sometimes.
Me?
Nah, I can't. Um...
Why not?
Yeah,
I'm just a bit superstitious
about that kind of--
Oh, no. Please, don't tell me
women are bad luck on boats.
Come on!
Hey, look, I don't
make the rules, you know.
Married?
[Jamie] Uh, no.
Girlfriend?
Uh...
no, not really.
Well, which is it? Yes or no?
It's just, um...
a bit too complicated
to get into that right now.
Okay.
-What's your name?
-Oh, oh, oh. I'm running
the show here, mister.
[Jamie] Okay. We'll rack 'em up.
If I beat you, then
you tell me what your name is.
Your friend won't mind?
Nah, he's busy
telling his pig story.
Okay.
But I do make the rules.
[]
[Jamie] So is this
how you play down in Florida?
[pool player] Nope.
Your turn.
[Jamie] Are you up here
for the whole summer?
[pool player] Pretty much.
I'm the first mate on the
Violeta down in Camden Harbor.
We just got up here
about a week ago.
Oh, yeah. Yeah, I know that one.
So, what, you just up here
to have a good time, then?
Of course.
Well, um, what else do you want?
What do you mean?
I mean, what else do you want
beyond going back and forth
from one place to another
each season, you know?
You mean out of life?
-Aw, Christ!
-[laughing]
Oh, kee-ryst!
Drink up, lobsterman.
Uh... yeah. You know,
I mean, what do you, uh--
what do you want out of life?
I want it all.
I wanna live
more than one lifetime.
You know,
I wanna sail around the world,
but I also wanna grow gardens
and live like a hermit
in a cabin in the woods,
you know?
Just bash away all the bullshit
and give it all I got.
This is it.
I want a free pass.
I'm Happy.
Cheers, Happy.
Cheers, Ugly.
[both chuckling]
[soft, twangy music]
Guess who bought
Parker Snow's house?
-Hi, Ma.
-It wasn't a day on the market
and some Masshole came up here
and paid for it on the spot
with a check.
-[laughs]
-I knew that was gonna happen.
A check! You buy friggin'
eggs and milk with a check,
not a friggin' house.
That's all we need, is a bunch
of check-writing dipshits
moving into the neighborhood.
Come here, Anja.
How you doing, honey?
How you doing?
-You wanna help me with this?
-Mm-hmm.
-Is Dad in the back?
-Yeah.
You're gonna take it...
-Mm-hmm.
-...and pull it. All right?
-[laughs]
-Yeah. Good.
There she is! Good morning.
Jesus Christ.
-Hey, Dad.
-[James sighs]
What took you so long?
I figured your truck
shit the bed again.
Uh, no, it was Anja.
[Senior] Ah.
What'd you pull today?
Just a little under 50.
You?
Wouldn't you like to know?
First one out of the harbor
this morning.
Me and Doug Kane, out at 3:30.
I didn't see you, though.
Figured you were probably still
snuggled up in your onesie.
Yeah, well,
I wasn't far behind you, Pops.
Frickin' ruckus at
Churchie's last night.
Got into it with
the Fogerty boys.
Kenny and Ev show up
like they own the place.
I told them to get the fuck out.
For fuck's sake, Dad. Why?
You don't have to
start it up with them.
'Cause they're like sharks.
And if you don't fight back
the first time they bump you,
they're gonna come
back at you hard.
-Fuckin' great.
-What?
Nothing.
That's great.
Here you go. Windy.
You know what I gotta hear about
at my next selectmen's meeting?
What?
I got a letter today from
these people from Connecticut
complaining about
a noise ordinance,
saying they didn't
move all this way
just to be woken up at 3:30
in the morning by lobster boats.
Yeah? So what are you
gonna do about it?
Oh, you don't wanna know.
Maybe he does wanna know.
[Senior] Well, maybe I'm just
tired of hearing about it.
Well, maybe I don't give a shit.
Anyway,
it's gonna be a big meeting.
Lots of people
are gonna be there.
Hey, babe,
you don't need another one.
Yes, Jamie, I-- I want it.
I can have it.
It's okay. It's fine.
It's just a tail.
It's got no cholesterol.
Why don't you have some corn?
Would you like some corn?
[sighs] Here. Take that.
[lobsterman 1 on radio]
Great, everything's already
fucking jammed up in here.
Too many traps in the water.
[lobsterman 2 on radio]
Don't say that out loud.
Big Brother's listening.
[lobsterman 3 on radio]
They can listen all they want.
We've been working these waters
for 150 years.
We're the only ones keeping
this fishery sustainable.
You hear that?
[man on radio]
I tell you what, buddy.
If we don't start
paying attention,
they're gonna
take it all away from us.
They're giving us 90-day curfew
and more restrictions.
[lobsterman 3] Jesus Christ,
they're killing us!
They can get on a stepladder
and jump up my sphincter.
[man] I'm telling you, we need
to all stand together on this.
[lobsterman 3]
How you gonna get 3,000
fishermen all see eye-to-eye?
It's like herding cats.
[lobsterman 2]
Well, I'll tell you what.
In 20 years,
it's gonna be illegal to fish.
The feds will buy
all our boats,
and when it's legal
to fish again,
we'll work like dogs
for 100 bucks a day.
[lobsterman 3]
Yeah! Then they'll claim
they created the jobs.
Hey, you fucktards wanna shut up
and let me haul in peace?
[lobsterman 1] Well, no need
to get all uncunted over it.
The best bumper sticker
I ever saw said,
"Use your goddamn turn signal,
then save Tibet."
[laughing]
Come on! That's funny.
[both chuckling]
-How's it going, Jamie?
-What's up, Jeannie? Hey, Paul.
Today was a joke.
Yeah, I fuckin' know it.
We didn't even
get our bait back.
[sighs] Same.
[Jeannie]
Oh, I meant to tell you.
I found out about
that new buddy of yours.
-Who?
-Mr. "Two Crates of Bluefish"?
Yeah, who is he?
Name is Neal Ames,
and he's got a lot of cash
'cause he just bought
Martin Bragg's Novi.
And he got the federal permit
to go with it.
[Jamie exhales]
Yeah, well, if he's got
no property in the water,
he's just pissing in the wind.
[Jeannie] Yeah, well,
that's the best part.
He is the one that bought
Parker Snow's house.
What,
the one that wrote the check?
Yep. So now he's got
a full license to fish.
Must've just snuck in there,
'cause all that shit's
gonna shut down next year.
[sighs] Jesus.
Well, he's pretty fuckin' numb
if he thinks he's gonna
get in around here.
Oh, don't worry about it.
-You know,
he's just wasting his money.
-[bar door opens]
Oh, shit.
[soft rock music
playing over speakers]
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
Where are you going?
You're not going anywhere.
Paul, I got a girl at home
with a brain injury, all right?
Right now my house
could be on fire.
-Call on Jeannie's office phone.
-Yeah, yeah.
Look, Paul, you could
just leave right now too,
and not be part of what
may or may not happen tonight.
Yeah, but then
the Fogertys think they can
run us out of our own bar.
Not everyone's
gonna fuckin' leave.
People will stay.
Not everyone's
that fucking smart.
-What do you want, Ev?
-You know.
Just wanted to see if
you were gonna do something.
About what?
Your old man said
we couldn't be in the bar.
I wanna see what
you have to say about it.
Yeah, well, did I say
you couldn't come back?
The old man did.
Yeah, well,
I'm not my fucking dad.
[Ev] Jeannie. Let's get a round.
[elevator dings]
Hey, this is for,
uh, next month.
You know, you've been awful
good with helping her lately.
No problem.
Gotta tell you,
she has still up and down.
She gets overloaded easily.
We're still at
a high risk of a setback.
But, let me show you.
What'd she do now?
As you know,
the clock drawing test is
a simple and effective way
to check on cognitive
and spatial functionality.
Recognize these?
Yeah, I mean, she was
doing these three years ago.
Come on.
Don't tell me that she's--
She did this one yesterday.
Sometimes breakthroughs
happen with no warning.
It's time.
Get her out in
real-life situations.
Socializing, work.
Maybe even driving.
Not sitting here
and doing puzzles all day.
You've gotten her this far.
Keep it going.
Put it into...
R...
-...reverse.
-Reverse.
Yeah. Throw it in there,
and then slowly
let go of the brake.
And, yep.
And crank it, crank it.
-Uh-huh.
-Yeah, it can-- There you go.
-[Anja giggles nervously]
-There you go! And...
Yep, left pedals. Stop. Yeah!
-[giggling]
-Okay. Yeah, keep it on there,
keep it on there.
There you go.
How's that feel? Feel good?
Good.
Yeah. It's, um...
it's starting...
to come back.
-[giggles]
-Okay, good.
Well, hey, we are, um--
we are unregistered
and unlicensed and
totally uninsured, but...
let's do it. Right?
Okay.
Let's go. There you go.
Oh, hey. No, no.
Uh, wrong way, wrong way.
You put it into drive.
Yeah. Yep. There.
[dramatic music]
Okay, and slowly on the gas.
[Anja giggling]
Funny to you, isn't it?
[Dee] So, what are we talking
about? A couple of weeks?
I'm not gonna
pay her or anything.
[Carolyn] No, no, no.
More like an internship.
She's just gonna shadow you,
pick up on some math skills,
some customer interaction.
That's all.
Okay, sure, if it helps Anja.
Are-- are you gonna
leave me here?
No, I'll be right here.
-Got your notebook?
-Mm-hmm.
Okay, watch.
This guy's getting a six-pack.
Take the money,
and we put the total in.
-[register chimes]
-Then...
we make the change.
Easy.
Okay. Why don't you grab
this next customer?
-[woman] Pack of Reds, please.
-Grab what?
Get her a pack
of cigarettes, Anja.
Um... uh-- [laughs nervously]
My grandma smoked
a carton every day,
and-- and my grandpa
said that she, um--
Uh, when she died, her--
her lungs were all filled with,
-um, black-- black gunk--
-She's in training.
Thank you.
[door bell jingles]
Anja? I think you should
handle the next customer.
I just wanted to wish you
a good first day.
[tender music]
You gotta be fucking kidding me.
[muttering angrily]
[]
[Maynard] When someone
sets over your traps,
you got two ways
to go about it.
You can confront the guy,
or you can take some time,
cool off.
Talk breezy.
[young Jamie]
Which one is it, Grampy?
Depends on who the asshole is.
[exhales] Fuck yeah.
[tense music]
Captain Numbnuts still don't
know how it fuckin' works, huh?
I gave you fair fuckin'
warning, asshole.
I gave you fair fuckin' warning.
Gave you fair fuckin' warning.
This coming through clear?
Fucking piece of shit!
[grunts]
[rain pattering]
[Anja gasps softly]
[door opens]
[gentle music]
[chuckles]
You look-- you look great.
[Anja] You-- you...
like it? [giggles]
Yeah.
What's all this?
It's corn ch-- chowder.
It has peppers
and h-- hot sauce.
It's southwestern.
How long you been planning this?
A week.
[]
[lifts lid]
I can't believe it.
It-- it's true!
Ca-- Carolyn and I went-- went
to the-- the grocery, and we--
No, no, Anja, Anja.
It's great. It's great.
It's great.
You did-- you did
a really good job.
[Anja giggles]
[]
[hopeful music]
[Thongchai] Made you look,
made you look.
-Go that way.
-Let's go.
-[Thongchai] Now you get
two moves, you get two moves.
-Get the king, get the king.
[all cheering]
-[Anja laughing]
-[Jamie] Anja!
[]
[telephone ringing]
-Yeah.
-[Jamie on phone] Hey, Mom.
Are you free this afternoon?
Maybe. Why?
[Jamie] I was just wondering
if you could come over
and watch Anja for a bit.
I, um-- I just--
I got some things that I got to
take care of after work.
[Donna] It's the third time
this week. What's up?
[Jamie] Nothing.
Well, either you
have a new girlfriend,
or you're rocking a new
Oxy habit. So which is it?
[Jamie] Jesus Christ.
There's nothing, Mom.
Well, then why can't
you just tell me?
[Jamie] Fuckin' A!
'Cause I'm 27 years old,
and I don't need anybody's
permission to go out,
that's why.
Excuse me, James. Did you
just say the F-word to me?
No, Ma, it wasn't--
it wasn't, like, to you--
[Donna] Let me tell you
something, you little tick.
Nobody in this family,
not even your friggin' father,
gets away with
saying the F-word to me.
You understand me?
Ma, I wasn't saying it to you.
Okay? I promise. I'm sorry.
All right.
I'll be over in
about a half hour.
[Jamie] Okay. Thanks.
[hangs up phone]
Hi! Oh, hello. What's your name?
-[girl] Vera.
-Hi, Vera.
It's nice to meet you.
Hi. Welcome.
Careful on your way up there.
It's a little... tricky.
Um... Oh! Hello. You made it.
[Jamie] Heck yeah.
You ready for a thrill ride?
[exhales] Yeah. Why don't you
show me what you got?
-Come on.
-Okay.
[]
Okay. So, folks, things that
the Coast Guard requires of us.
First thing is life vests.
When we're down in Key West,
it's real nice to
get into the water.
Take my word for it.
When you're here in Maine,
you do not wanna do that.
If you're feeling a little bit
queasy, I recommend looking down
straight at the horizon
and just try to aim downwind
as much as possible.
And other than that,
feel free to roam around
the boat and enjoy your day.
[chuckles]
[tranquil music]
I think now is a good time
to do a little pop quiz.
So,
what side of the boat is this?
[man] The port side.
[Happy] Yes! You got it. Okay.
Now, what about this side?
-Starboard.
-Starboard! Wonderful.
Amazing. All right.
And all the way up here...
what do we call this?
-[woman] The bow.
-[Happy] The bow! Take a bow.
Wonderful, ladies and gentlemen.
Wonderful.
[]
[Jamie] You sure you don't
want a regular, year-round job?
You know?
Canning lobster, picking crab?
Oh, oh, okay, wait.
Please don't be offended,
but I'll probably never eat
one of those bottom-feeders
you like to catch.
It doesn't bother me.
You know, I'd rather have
a hamburger anyways.
-[scoffs] Wow.
-What? Don't tell me
you're a vegetarian.
-Nothing wrong with that.
-Wow. You're a vegetarian, too?
-Oh, yeah. You should talk.
You smell like herring crotch.
-[Jamie laughs]
-You know,
I can't get used to you.
-[Happy] Oh, no?
What do you mean?
I'm-- I'm a sweetie.
I'm literally the nicest
girl you'll ever meet.
[Jamie] Yeah?
But you got a heart like
a bilge pump, though.
[Happy laughs] Well, honestly,
I've been told worse.
Oh, my God.
[gasps]
Wow.
-[knocks on glass]
-Come on. Come on!
Damn, lobsterman.
[laughs] This is amazing! Wow.
Oh, God.
I really try not to fall in love
with places like this, 'cause...
at the end of the season,
I know I gotta go.
Yeah, you gotta admit,
this place is pretty nice, huh?
You know...
actually,
you smell like wood smoke.
-[chuckles]
-[Happy sniffs]
Laundry soap and wood smoke.
Oh! And here you are
in my evil clutches. [laughs]
Except I haven't
been clutched yet.
So, uh...
do you love her?
Do we really have to
talk about this right now?
I really prefer when people
are straight up with me.
Yeah, um... [clears throat]
Her name's Anja.
Um, we used to be together.
Well, I mean,
we still live together.
So, did you break up?
[Jamie] No.
No, it's not like that.
She's got a, uh,
severe head injury.
Oh, my God.
It's not really something
that I talk about.
Well, um...
do you mind if I at least
ask what happened?
[]
[boom]
[people cheering]
[cheery music playing]
[]
[man] You can get
the lobster on the side...
[]
[people cheering, applauding]
My mother's somewhere
here with Anja.
Man, your mom's a saint.
Dude, there's no chicks here.
This is just tourist central.
I don't remember asking you
to come with us.
That's real funny, Eugley.
Oh, shit.
Would you look at them assholes.
[man]
Fuck are they doing here?
Man, what the fuck
you gonna do about it?
-I'll friggin'...
-Yeah, you'll take 'em both on,
I'm sure.
Hey!
Hey,
what the fuck are you doing?
[Thongchai] Hey, get over there!
[Jamie] The fuck was that about?
Stay here, Tadpole, you dumbass.
-Why do I have to stay here?
-'Cause you're a fucking idiot,
that's why.
So how those OUI classes going?
Ah...
What?
You gonna those classes or not?
I just... I don't know.
[scoffs] Come on, guy.
It's fuckin' embarrassing.
-[Thongchai sighs]
-I mean,
you got no driver's license.
You got your sternman driving
you around. Like, just...
I just-- I don't know.
They said I have to go to
a couple of these, like,
counseling things
or something like that
before I could get it back.
Yeah, so what? You probably do.
I mean, shit,
I friggin' need counseling.
Just make the appointment.
I'll take you.
-You'd go with me?
-Yeah.
Of course, man.
I'm your fuckin' brother.
[laughing] I'm sorry.
You're such a cornball.
Shut the fuck up, Thongchai.
-I'll catch you later.
-Yeah, all right.
[people cheering]
[people chatting]
Hey there, lobsterman.
You, uh, mind
taking this off my hands?
I forgot,
I'm not really into sweets.
I'm more of a salty gal,
if you know what I mean.
Yeah? Yeah.
What? You were just--
were you just looking for me
-to give me your leftovers?
-Oh, okay.
Don't flatter yourself. You
walked into my gazebo.
Um...
What are you doing all
the way down here?
You know,
checking out the scene,
seeing the people and...
had to free some lobsters.
Yeah. Don't tell anyone.
-Don't do it.
-[Happy] I have to.
-I'm here on a mission.
-[Anja] Jamie!
Jamie. Jamie. Jamie.
Jamie. Jamie. Jamie. Jamie!
They have fried dough here
and it's so good.
-Have you tried it?
-No, I haven't.
Oh, my gosh, they have toppings
and-- and-- Jamie, it's amazing.
Hey! Eugley.
Where's the rest of your crew,
you prick?
-[thumping]
-[grunting]
You hit him!
Oh, my God!
[Jamie] Hey, Anja.
Anja, come here.
-Come here.
-I'm so sorry.
Can't you ever
fucking listen to me?
Come on.
Are you fucking stupid?
That was a brand-new trap.
Christ, Jimmy, you did
the same damn thing at his age.
Yeah.
Never gonna get that one back.
It's a ghost now.
I gotta get out of this town.
Yeah.
Maybe you should come down
to the Keys, you know?
It'll just be a couple weeks.
Not too long.
Yeah.
I'm serious.
Come on, you'd love it.
We'll wake up...
[grunts]
...go to Bahama Mamas,
get some bloodies
and some cheese grits
and some hash cakes.
Have you ever had
any of that stuff?
Oh, and then we'll go
on my friend's catamaran
and do a little booze cruise.
We'll get some beers, and once
we're done boozing and cruising,
we'll probably be just about
ready for lunch at that point.
So we'll go get ourselves
some of these fucking
fantastic jackfruit tacos.
I'm not kidding.
You're never gonna
eat meat ever again.
You're gonna be a veg
just like me.
And then...
We'll go to a party.
You just walk around
until you find one.
You know what I like about you?
What's up?
Oh!
You make my drinking
look like it's not a problem.
What do you say?
You won't be gone
from Anja that long.
Goddamn.
You know,
all you gotta do is just...
take off on a boat
whenever you want.
I got things that I gotta
take care of around here.
Like if you knew
what my life was really like,
you wouldn't think this is
worth sticking around for.
[Happy] What? That you're
worn out from trying
to take care
of everybody by yourself?
Gee, that's a shocker.
My mom's friend came up to me
at the beach store this morning,
saying she heard
I yelled at Anja in public.
She railed on me
in front of everyone about
what a lousy person I was.
But I just-- I had
to get Anja out of there
because he was two seconds
from hitting her,
and I swear to God,
if he fucking touched her--
It's what you had to do.
Okay?
Yeah, but just imagine if...
I took off with you
for a couple weeks.
What would everybody say?
"Yeah, that Eugley kid.
Some fucking asshole
he turned out to be."
Are you kidding me?
No one would say that about you.
Not a single person,
because you are the one
who has stuck it out
through the good and the bad
with this girl.
Okay?
You know,
part of me is jealous of Anja.
The other part of me
feels guilty that you're
here with me and not her.
You said she's getting
better every day, right?
Yeah.
Well, then you gotta
look to the future.
You're at the bottom and...
crushed on all sides.
That...
is when you have to do something
completely unexpected.
[soft music]
[crickets chirping]
Did you get the...
red...
k-kind paint I wanted?
Uh, no.
I'm sorry. I forgot.
I knew it!
What the hell is it now, Anja?
-It's not like I--
-Stupid Jamie.
You always think of you!
Anja, I'm tired of you having
a meltdown every time
the cap is off
the freaking toothpaste.
Like you forget
all the things I do for you
because your memory's
so fucking screwed up.
I know what...
I remember.
Look, I'll try to get
you paint tomorrow, okay?
No, you won't!
You forget tomorrow too,
and the next day too.
You don't do nothi--
[grunts]
Anything for me anymore!
Leave me alone, Anja.
I made $14 today.
We're 200 grand in debt
over your hospital bills.
And now you're
all drove up my ass
the minute I walk in the door.
I can't afford
your paint right now.
I can't even afford
a cup of coffee.
Like you think
you're fun to live with?
I haven't been able to sleep
right in the past three years
because I've been worrying
about how I'm gonna pay
for everything here!
Go... away.
Yeah, don't worry. I'm gone.
You go away again! Again!
By myself all the time!
You leave. You don't care.
You leave and you don't care.
-Just go away.
-Oh, I don't care?
I don't care. I don't care?
You know what your parents
have done for you
these past three years?
Fucking nothing.
And that last boyfriend
of yours, guess what?
He would've been gone
a long fucking time ago.
I'm the one who stays, Anja!
He didn't do...
this to me.
[Anja whimpers]
[]
[grunts]
[somber music]
[breathing heavily]
[beer bottle cap clinking]
-[Jeannie] Gotta be kidding.
-[Paul] Some conservation group
says they're gonna sue.
They want more regulations
and more restrictions
on days we can fish.
[Jeannie] Oh, Jesus Christ.
It's always some paper pusher,
thinks he knows
more than the fisherman.
[Paul] Hey, Chuck.
Paul. How you doing?
And the lovely
Miss Jeannie Churchill.
Would you be so kind?
Whiskey, neat.
[clears throat]
[tense music]
[Jamie] Guess you didn't get
the message yet, did you, pal?
What's that?
You might wanna
go check your traps.
Or, you know, what? Better yet,
I'll give it to you straight.
Don't even bother
taking your boat out no more.
You're all done
lobstering around here.
Could you get this man a drink?
He needs it.
[door opens, closes]
I promise I...
won't yell no more.
I don't want you to go.
I'm not going anywhere, okay?
Even if I have to go stomp
around for a little bit,
I'm always gonna come back.
[soft music]
[music intensifies]
I just got about 70 traps
cut over by Seal Rock.
Well, ain't that a coincidence?
We just found
some of ours cut too.
Lines that were fishing well.
Is this real?
Who wrote this?
I don't know.
Any of the regatta's been
through here in the last week?
McGoggin, any of those assholes?
-Not that I heard.
-I'm gonna get these fuckers.
[man] Easy.
We have to find out.
There's ain't no accident.
We're getting worked over hard.
Let's check it out.
I'm gonna get ahold of Don
before it comes back in.
We're gonna
do this the right way.
There's people looking over
here, so don't say anything.
We'll have a meeting
in a little while.
You can always put this
all together if you want.
Jamie! Dee said...
I did so good, and Jamie,
she said she liked me.
-Jamie, she liked me.
-Hey, honey.
Give me one second. Okay?
One second.
Ma, I just had 70 traps cut.
And so did Dad, Doug, and Paul.
We think it's the Fogertys.
You're shitting me.
-Jamie.
-What?
Dee said if I do good next week,
that she's gonna--
she's gonna start paying me.
Jamie, she's gonna
start paying me.
Jamie needs to think
for a minute.
I'm gonna call your father.
[Don] What do you wanna do?
You wanna call Fogerty up?
We just lost ten grand
worth of gear today.
We're not calling that fucker up
just so he can lie to us.
[Doug] You can't go off half
cock when we don't have proof.
He's been pulling our lines
for years. No doubt it's him.
It's gotta be
Ev and his brothers.
That whole thing
the other day was stupid.
[Thongchai] Ev came after Jamie.
I heard you gave him
good reason to.
Not us.
That was Tadpole's dumb ass.
Me and him had nothing
to do with that.
This. This is that hot-headed
kiddie shit I can't stand.
Look, they leveled me.
Okay? So why don't you
let this be my deal?
You can't just cut
the Fogertys and walk away.
You say to Dale,
"Unless somebody
steps forward--"
No, no. Look, look, look.
There's more than one way
to handle Dale Fogerty.
Okay? If it's one thing
that Gramps taught me--
You think your grandpa could
handle Dale Fogerty?
Yeah. Dale just loves when
people try to reason with him.
No, no. He'd go
after the soft spot
-just like he did--
-No, Gramps was the best
damn highlighner--
Your grandpa was a pussy!
Hey, hey, hey. Enough. Enough.
Jeez.
Yeah, I see you inherited
more than just his territory,
Jim, I'm saying you start
a trap war with them,
it's not gonna be
just on you anymore.
Don. We'll have a dialogue.
-We'll have a--
-There is no time
for a dialogue, okay?
We do this tonight. Okay?
Tonight. Fuck.
[somber music]
[Senior] We're about 50 yards
ahead of you.
Just rounding Courage Bay now.
Copy that.
[Senior] All right,
stick with the plan.
Turn your radio off.
How many we're gonna whack?
Many as we can find
before daylight.
If the guy gets
his shit together.
Hey, man, chill out.
Think you might wanna
take a break from your
fucking addictions tonight
in case we actually
need to fight?
You need to relax, precious.
Nothing's gonna happen.
Just fucking stay sharp.
This is so fucking stupid.
[seagulls squawking]
[]
I just saw something.
-Another boat.
-[Jamie] No.
-You all right?
-No. No.
I fucked up, okay? We shouldn't
be out here right now.
What are you talking about?
Look, I'm dead serious,
Thongchai.
There's gonna be some trouble.
I'm not turning around now, guy.
Man, what the fuck
are you doing?
I feel it in my bones, man.
Okay, we need to
turn back right now!
Shit.
Your dad, Doug and Paul,
they're relying on us.
I don't give a fuck, okay?
Just let me off.
Fuck you.
[muttering]
[]
-[lobsterman 1] Bunch of cut
gear over here in Courage.
-Oh, shit.
-[lobsterman 2]
Oh, that ain't good.
-[lobsterman 3] Yep. Saw that.
Did the Fogertys
set on somebody?
[lobsterman 1] No idea. Dale's
out there right now with Ev.
[lobsterman 2]
Is Kenny with him?
[lobsterman 4] What the hell
happened last night?
Everyone stay calm.
We had a little activity
in the harbor last night.
I was getting calls at 2:00 a.m.
about some boats out there.
I'll handle this.
[lobsterman 3] I was up at 2:00
and it was thick of fog,
but I heard several boats
out there.
Couldn't see
no running lights on.
Makes it pretty damn obvious.
[lobsterman 2]
My family's been lobstering
these waters 150 years.
And if you can't haul your own
traps and leave others alone,
you need to get out
of the business.
[lobsterman 4] Are you saying
somebody whacked the Fogertys?
[lobsterman 5] The Fogertys?
They're freaking druggies
and pirates.
Couldn't have happened
to a better family.
[lobsterman 4]
Now the papers will be crawling
all over us again.
[lobsterman 5] Where's marine
patrol? Where's Roger Powers?
[Dale] Where are
the fucking Eugleys?
Like I said, Dale,
we're trying hard as you
to get a hold of them.
They're not answering.
We've got some people out
on the water looking for them.
[Dale] If they're not answering,
they're the suspect.
-I'm pissed.
-Well, I would be, too.
I just wanna get
some more time, that's all.
[Dale]
I need some goddamn answers.
-I understand. I just--
-[Dale] No, you don't.
You have no idea
what's about to happen.
I got to get back
to marine patrol.
They've been calling me
all morning.
You're not calling
marine patrol.
We'll take it from here.
Look, you guys got me involved.
Now Fogerty's making it my--
-Roger.
-I got a--
Roger! You're not
calling marine patrol.
[Senior] The fuck you doing
all the way out here?
You got your radio off?
We just gonna stand there, huh?
You even know what's happened?
Kenny Fogerty was
out there waiting for you.
-What?
-[Senior] Yeah, he beat
the fuck out of Thongchai
with a bottle of scotch.
Fractured his skull.
He was airlifted
to Portland last night.
My God.
Well, we know
he's in stable condition.
-And Kenny got arrested.
-What the fuck
were you thinking getting
off Thongchai's boat?
We were all out there
because of you.
You get off in the fucking
dock and have those guys
do your fucking
dirty work for you.
Now your best friend's
got his fucking face
beating in because of it.
It's them.
Pretty fucking poor I had
to come all the way out here
to find where
you've been hiding out.
No one's hiding from you,
sunshine.
Yeah, right.
That's why you're
way the hell out here, huh?
[Paul] What are you doing
out here looking for us?
Maybe cause we just had
about 50 of our traps whacked.
[Senior] Oh, really?
Well, Jamie had
70 cut the other day.
[Dale] Are you trying to say we
had something to do with that?
[Senior] Why not?
Your family's always been
scabbing around our gear.
Ah. You know what, Eugley?
I love how high
and mighty you act.
The last 30 years,
you ain't been nothing
but a whiny little bitch every
time one of your traps gets cut.
So you got your traps cut,
we got ours.
What do you got to say about it?
-[Senior] Wasn't us.
-[Dale] Wasn't asking you.
Now, Jamie,
Why don't you tell me the truth?
I didn't cut your traps.
Right.
What are we doing here, pops?
[tense music]
Hey, look, look.
nobody needs to get shot
over it, all right?
I just need to know
if you cut my traps first,
then we can settle this.
[Senior] Don't bother asking.
He ain't gonna tell you shit.
I didn't cut your lines.
Where the fuck you going?
What are we gonna do?
Stand in 'til the sun goes down?
He said he didn't do it.
What can't you fucking
do as you're told, huh?
-Why do you always
gotta fuck things up?
-Jim.
Every year it's something
between our family and theirs.
Waiting for somebody to cross
some imaginary fucking line.
Nobody ever learns
and I'm fucking sick of it.
You were the one fucking
gunning for this.
Well, you can take each other
out till there's nobody left.
Cause I'm fucking
done with this shit.
[gunshot]
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!
Hold it. Hold it.
Man, we used to ride
our bikes here.
[Jamie] We had
our first fight here, too.
[Thongchai] It was the first
time I kicked your ass.
[]
Hey, man, look, I'm...
I'm really sorry.
I've been a pretty shit friend,
and I shouldn't have
left you that night.
It's all right, man. I'm alive.
You're the one
that looks like shit.
God, they banged you up
pretty fucking good, man.
Shit.
We should see Ev Fogerty.
There's not a damn
scratch on him. [laughs]
Fuck.
[Jamie] Hey, man. Hey, look. I--
Just know that I got
you covered, okay?
Half of my catch is yours.
All you gotta do is get better.
Ahh, what you need, guy?
You need more pain meds?
You want another beer?
You know what's sad, Eugley?
You're probably the best
girlfriend I've ever had.
[soft banjo music]
Eugley.
Jeannie.
These past few weeks have just--
Everything's just
fucking gone to shit.
If it's about money,
I happen to know a place
you can get three bucks
over boat price.
Right here.
You know, um, that Ames guy,
he just bought
Quinn's Lobster Pound.
-You see?
-Un-fucking-believable.
There's talk that
he's got some big plans
and he's got
big money behind them.
I heard that he's gonna only
ask select guys to come to him,
and he's gonna give 'em
health insurance and benefits.
Ames is only out for himself.
Okay? He's trying to
incorporate a whole business
that belongs to the people
that live and work here.
[Jeannie] I only know
what I've heard,
and it sounds like nobody
made money this summer.
Maybe we gotta go another
way to survive.
No. Look, Ames is just
trying to cut everybody out.
[Jeannie] No, he pays his tab.
[Jamie] What are your colors?
Wouldn't happen to be
yellow buoys, would it?
[Ames] How'd you know that?
[Jamie] The next time you set
your traps like an idiot,
you're gonna
get your strings cut.
[Jeannie] What?
You said he bought
Parker Snow's place, right?
Yeah. Yeah, he did.
-All right.
-Jamie.
Jamie.
[tense music]
[car door slams]
[glass shatters]
Just figured it out.
-[Neal] Okay.
Don't, don't. Please.
-You know what the dub is?
-What?
-I give you a chance
to answer that
since you fucking know
-everything about lobster.
-I--
-[shattering]
-What's a dub?
It's someone who doesn't know
how to place their own traps.
Nice try, dub.
You know,
all I gotta do is go to Fogerty
right now
and tell him
how it all went down.
You cut his traps,
then you cut mine,
then you shut us both up
with that fake fucking note.
-I-- I didn't.
-Don't even fucking try!
Both our buoy colors
are on your boat.
I was just trying to
make a living, okay?
When I found out
that you had ruined my--
[glass shattering]
You have no idea
what you started, do you?
Once it gets out
it was you who started it,
they will definitely
hospitalize you.
They may even kill you.
And right now, I'm the only one
who can save your ass.
And I fucking hate you.
I really hate people like you.
I'd rather just sit back
and see what's coming to you.
[Neal] Okay.
Okay. Okay.
What should I do?
Here's what you gonna do.
You get out that famous
checkbook of yours, buddy.
You're gonna write a check
for ten grand to Dale Fogerty.
And you're gonna
write a check to me
and everyone else you cut.
Okay, sure. Yeah.
Um...
I just--
I just need to move some cash
around between accounts and--
[Jamie] Whatever.
I'll deliver Fogerty's check
and tell him
you were this fucking idiot
who cut his thinking
you were cutting mine.
But I'm gonna tell every one
of your select lobster fishermen
what you did.
And before you reopen
Quinn's Pound,
everyone's gonna know how
you do business around here.
You got that?
[whispering] Yes.
[whimpers]
[soft music]
Dale?
I came to talk to you.
So, you know,
I thought you might have been
the one to cut my traps,
but now I know the truth.
It was Ames.
Me and him got into it
earlier in the season,
and he ended up cutting yours,
thinking they were mine.
So, um,
I just went over and
straightened him out and, um,
made him write you a check
to cover your losses.
So you didn't think to
come to me first and ask?
Um...
Yeah, right. So, uh,
you know, here it is.
You know, when I found out
how many of my traps got cut,
I just lost it.
I wasn't thinking straight.
And because of our history.
You and me got no history.
Well, I mean, with Ev and Kenny.
[Dale] That's your fight
with them.
I never cut you personally,
did I?
You ever notice that?
My father and your grandfather,
yeah, we got into it.
But that was our fight.
And your father kept it up all
these years with his big mouth.
But not once did I ever
go after you personally.
Not one time.
I don't operate like my father.
Not anymore.
So, what is this?
Some kind of apology?
Yeah, I'd say it was.
[Dale] For your whole family?
Especially my father.
Ha!
Hey, Jamie.
Tell your old man...
Sunshine sends his regards.
Imagine sitting on a beach,
watching men go by in tiny,
ball-hugging thong bikinis.
What?
-[laughing]
-What the fuck?
Oh, no. There's so much
you don't know about the Keys.
It's okay. You'll learn.
You know, I, um...
I can only go down
for a couple weeks.
'Cause Anja's not gonna
be able to handle me being gone
much longer than that.
-I know.
-You know?
Yeah, I know.
[chuckles]
I just, I can't
let this get too heavy.
'Cause if I do,
I may not be coming back.
Nonsense.
We both know the rules.

[phone line ringing]
[door bell jingling]
-Hi.
-Thank God you're here.
My mom got transferred
to Maine Medical last night.
-Oh, no.
-I didn't even wanna
open the store, but--
[breathing heavily]
Look, are you up to speed?
Can you cover for me?
Yeah, yeah. I have all my notes.
Thanks. I'm-- I'm so wrecked.
I haven't slept all night. Um,
here are the keys, and...
here is my number.
Just call me if
you need anything, okay?
Yes. Yes, go to your mom.
[door bell jingles]
[exhales]
[soft piano music]
Thank you.
Have a good, great morning.
-[man] You new?
-[Anja] Mm-hmm.
I just started working
here full time.
I also just
started driving again.
My first pay check,
I am going to take
Jamie out to dinner.
[man] Um... [clears throat]
It's $7.54, and I gave you
a 20 and four pennies.
But the register says $12.46.
Yeah,
but I gave you four pennies.
That means you give me
$12.50 back. See?
But it-- it-- it says--
Look, just give me $12.50. Okay?
Let-- let me start over.
[woman] What's the hold up?
[man] I gotta be at work
and she won't give me my change.
[woman] Can we just
hurry up a little bit?
It's fine. It's fine, it's fine.
Doesn't matter.
Let me make this easy for you.
Uh, I-- I--
I don't re-- remember. Um--
Do you have cash?
Tell Dee to get her ass
back here, 'cause you suck.
[woman] No, I actually don't.
I already put gas in my tank
and I have to get to a meeting,
so could you just
take my card, please?
-I don't--
-Just run it through
the machine.
Is there a manager here
I could speak to?
-Is there anyone else working?
-[man] Are you okay?
[bell jingling]
[muffled] Are you okay?
[tense music]
Look, I have to go--
[woman speaking indistinctly]
[line ringing]
[phone ringing]
James Eugley?
[Anja] Is m-m-mother there?
I don't know why
you call her that.
She's not your mother.
She's not here.
Is...
J-Ja-- Jamie there?
[Senior] Why would he be here?
D-Do you know where he is?
Probably hanging out
with that girl.
I don't know. Listen, Anja,
I don't mind you coming here
when Jamie's off in Florida
doing whatever with her,
but it's gotta be
a one-time thing, okay?
[whimpering]
Hello? Anja.
[whimpering]
[grunting]
[]
[inhales]
[]
[soft laugh]
[exhales]
[Jamie, muffled] Anja!
Anja!
Anja!
Anja?
Anja?
[pills rattling]
No, no, no, Anja.
Anja. Anja. Anja!
[]
Are we back to square one?
You asked me to be
honest with you.
We're miles behind square one.
The doctor says you need to be
prepared for the eventuality...
she may not ever move
beyond a vegetative state.
[inhales]
[waves crashing]
[woman]
Mr. Eugley?
Mr. Eugley?
Excuse me,
I have your bill. Mr. Eugley?
[waves intensify, stop]
Excuse me?
Fucking bill! Fucking shit!
God damn it!
[screams]
God!
[cries]
[grunts]
[breathing heavily]
[Jeannie] Some girl came in here
looking for you yesterday.
She left you this.
How's Anja?
The guys all wanna hold
a grange supper for you.
A little fundraiser
to help you get through.
Oh, fuck, Jeannie, no.
Please just call it off.
I can't.
[Jeannie] So much shit
has gone down.
Freaking unbelievable.
Now they can't find
Ames or his boat.
It's going around like wildfire.
[soft music]
[Anja laughing]
Oh, Anja.
You know, you might be
a little short for me.
-Yeah?
-Mm-hmm.
What are you gonna do, then?
You gonna throw me back?
-Nah.
-[laughs]
Nah, I'm in the market
for a new sternman.
[trap clanging]
["Song To The Siren"
by This Mortal Coil playing]
On the floating
Shipless oceans
I did all my best to smile
[Anja]
Are you really leaving?
-Come on,
-I don't need this right now.
Everybody fights.
Yeah, well, you know,
we've been fighting a lot.
So if you're not happy,
maybe you should just leave.
Oh, my God, so what?
People fight.
I'm not leaving you
because of that.
You're gonna have
to leave me first.
Stop nerdling me.
You mad?
You gonna keep yelling?
That was two minutes ago.
Now is now.
All we have is now.
Did I dream
You dreamed about me?
Were you here
When I was full-sail?
Now my foolish boat
Is leaning
Broken lovelorn
On your rocks
[Anja] All we have is now.

-[woman groans softly]
-Uh-oh.
-You okay?
-Mm-hmm.
Yeah, it's just--
-It's like I just can't sleep.
-Mm-hmm.
-My brain just won't shut off.
-Mm-hmm.
Okay.
Okay, stay in bed.
I'll just go do it myself.
-Mm-mm. Mm-mm. No, I'm coming.
-Yeah. It's all right, I got it.
Mm-mm. I'm coming.
I'm up.
[]
[laughs] They didn't buy it.
Ah, don't worry about it.
It's over.
-It's over, forget about it.
-Yeah.
-All right,
let's catch some bugs.
-Yeah, let's go.
[]
-[man] You're crazy.
-[woman] What are we doing?
-I don't know.
-That's nuts.
-I don't know, Anja. All right?
-You don't know.
[both laughing]
-[indistinct]
-[man] Why are you copying
everything I say?
Okay. I don't know.
Take the wheel, Anja.
Just drive.
-That is-- this is crazy.
-Just drive. You're fine.
-This is crazy.
-You're fine.
-Keep going, you're doing great!
-Are you kidding me?
-You're doing great.
-I swear...
-Can you take it now?
-Yeah, I got it.
[Anja] Thank you.
-Hang on.
-What are you-- what are you
doing?
-Just ashing it.
-Okay. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
-Come here, come here,
come here.
-Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Okay. We're here.
[]
Oh, no. Hey, st-- stop.
Stop nurdling me.
-[Anja laughing] Morning, Steph.
-Morning, Anja.
[man] Hey, what's up, Dee?
Running a little late
this morning.
Uh, yeah, well,
we would've been here by 4:00,
but Jamie needed
his beauty sleep.
-Yeah, well, one of us
needed to get some shut-eye.
-Mmm.
Anja's probably gonna
fall asleep in the bait.
What's it been,
like, three years?
When's he gonna
slap a ring on you?
Wow. Way to go.
You know, it was actually-- it
was gonna be a surprise today.
No way.
Okay.
Might as well do it now, then.
Shut up.
Anja...
will you marry me?
-[laughing] Oh, my God.
-Hey! Oh, what's with the--
Aw, huh?
That's not good enough for you?
Throw him back, Anja.
Plenty in the sea.
[laughs] Nah.
I think this one's a keeper.
I'm a keeper.
Wow. [grunts]
I got you pretty good
back there, didn't I?
Nah, I could tell
just by looking at you.
Mmm, I don't know.
I think even at the last moment
you weren't totally sure.
[laughs] Nah, you know,
I was actually thinking,
"Why is this man squandering
his life as a lobsterman
when he could have a brilliant
career as a stand-up comedian?"
Yeah?
Well, just so you know,
I'm gonna get you a real ring.
You know I don't care
about that.
-Yeah, you do.
-Um, no.
I've never pushed you
to get married, have I?
Yeah, well, when the time comes,
believe me,
I'm not gonna ask you
in some fucking bait shack.
Yeah, I get to look forward to
it to be in front of
the entire bar at Churchie's.
Well, yeah,
for the reception, sure, but...
[laughs]
Oh, God, you're kidding.
-Look at your face.
You're not kidding.
-No! But hey, look, look, look.
For the actual ceremony,
right, that's gonna be
somewhere classy, Anja.
That's gonna be on a beach,
or on one of the islands, or...
I mean, Christ, I'm not
a frickin' redneck, Anja.
Yeah, but you wanna have
the reception at Churchie's.
Yeah, well. You know we're
all gonna end up there anyway.
Look, we still have
your truck payment,
and what we paid out
for bait today,
and we're barely
gonna make back, so...
don't be giving me no ring while
we still have bills to pay.
"Don't be buying me no ring."
[Jamie]
All right, now, first off,
stop trying to sound all Maine
with that "Don't be
giving me no ring" crap.
All right, I won't
give you no double negatives.
Yeah. And second,
don't think you're gonna
be my sternman forever.
Why?
I'm getting pretty good at it.
Yeah,
you're getting better at it, but
you're not freakin' aces yet,
so, you know,
don't get ahead of yourself.
There's still a lot
that I gotta teach you,
which ain't gonna happen,
'cause you're not gonna be
on this boat for much longer.
Mmm, right. Women don't belong
on boats. They're bad luck.
All right, get ready.
We're coming up on
the first string.
Yep.
[mellow music]
[]
[]
[yawning]
Hey. You're tired.
-Mm-mm. Nope.
-Yeah, you are. Yeah.
-We're calling it.
-No.
-We're calling it.
-No, we got two more lines.
Anja, you need a nap. [chuckles]
And a glass of wine, too.
[man on radio] Ay-yuh,
Natural Born.
I hear you were a hit
with the harbor hogs at
Myrtle's the other night.
[man 2 on radio]
I don't remember a thing, guy.
Ask Eugley.
[man] Eugley, you on there?
Yeah, my sternman's tired.
[man] Who, Anja?
What the hell did you do now?
[man 2] Tired? Real tired?
Or just tired of your bullshit?
Hey, all you shut the fuck up,
all right?
[man] You're working her
too hard. Who makes a girl
haul his traps?
Hey, uh, Anja, be careful,
we got a big wake coming in.
[man] Eugley, you coming
to Churchie's later?
You still owe me a beer.
Yeah, I'm there.
Anja.
We're going to Churchie's, yeah?
Anja.
Anja.
[tense music]
Oh, fuck. She went overboard.
Sternman overboard! I need help,
somebody, right now!
[]
[shouting] Anja! Anja!
Fuck. Anya! God fucking damn it!
Where is everybody?
Anja!
[panting]
Fuck!
[]
[Jamie grunting]
[Jamie panting]
[]
Come on.
Come on.
[Anja coughing]
[melancholy music]
[]
[]
Thanks.
[Anja squeals]
-[Anja grunts]
-[Jamie] Anja.
[haltingly]
Let's go to The Landings
and get a coco rum.
-[giggling]
-I don't know about that.
But I-- I've been
waiting all day for you,
and I want to go to The Landings
and have some f-- fun.
You remember what the doctor
said, though, right?
You can't have a coke and rum.
[Anja] N-- no!
[Anja grunting]
[Carolyn] Hey, Jamie.
What's up, Carolyn?
-[Carolyn] Well,
you know, it's Friday.
-Jamie!
The Landings!
Anja, I think we're just
gonna have a nice night
at home tonight, okay?
Let's finish your exercise,
and then maybe we could
pick up some pizza.
Let's do this first, okay?
Come on.
Yeah,
that one goes in the middle.
And what's
the first number up top?
Hey, I'll be right back.
Okay? Be right back.
Was she giving you
any trouble this week?
No. This one here's great.
They're all perfect angels.
It's funding, staff, everything.
Tell him what Bruce
s-- said to me.
No, I told you, Anja,
you've got to ignore him.
-But he said--
-[Carolyn] No. It's okay.
-Nobody believes Bruce.
-Okay, but--
[Carolyn]
Draw 5:15 on the clock, Anja.
If I do it right,
can-- can we go out?
Maybe.
Do you see
any improvement at all?
Like, Carolyn, are these
exercises really helping her?
You've got to give it time.
Jamie, this isn't
going to happen overnight.
It's been years, Carolyn.
5:15.
You wanna go get ice cream?
Like, what about
all the weird things she says
and how she talks?
You know, like,
is it always gonna be that way?
There is a disconnect
in her brain.
She can't always find
the words she wants to say.
It might be a year or two before
some of the old Anja comes back.
Well, what do you mean?
Like, is-- is she ever
gonna be normal again?
Her brain was without oxygen
for an extended period of time.
It's called cerebral hypoxia.
We'll rehab her
as best as we can.
But to have this level
of functionality now,
consider yourself lucky.
Look, you just gotta be
honest with me. I gotta know.
With a lot of hard work
and someone to love her, Jamie,
she'll get back a lot of it.
Much better than
if she were left alone.
[telephone ringing]
-[man 2 on phone]
Hey, quiet. Chill out, man.
-Hello?
-Eugley. Where are you?
-'Sup there, Natural Born?
-[man 2] Let go
of the phone, Tadpole.
-[Anja] Is that Thongchai?
-We're at the barn. You coming?
-Uh, nah, nah, nah.
-Not tonight.
-Eugley, this one's a rager.
Dewey's setting up the band.
-Just bring Anja,
she can hang out.
-Uh, yeah, nah, she can't.
-What? I can't what?
-Ah, shit, man.
Tadpole just puked.
-[Jamie chuckles] Yeah?
-You're cleaning that shit up.
Yeah,
how's that tequila treating you?
-Man, it's getting everywhere.
Hey, hey, watch it!
-Just press 20 seconds, okay?
You can't leave me alone
with this guy, Eugley.
You gotta come over.
Uh... no, not tonight, man.
Is Anja right there?
Look, I get it.
[Jamie] Um, yeah. Yeah.
But you gotta fuckin'
have a life at some point.
We're going to Churchie's
Friday. Your mom can watch her.
Hey, uh, Anja.
Just press, uh, the two
and the zero, right there.
-I gotta go. Tadpole's a mess.
-I'll talk to you later.
-Where-- where's Thongchai?
-[microwave buttons beeping]
At The Landings?
Uh, no, he's at the Ogdens'.
There's a small party going on,
but...
-it's not, uh...
-[Anja gasps]
Oh, my God--
-Let's go-- go! Let's go.
-No. We're not going.
-[microwave beeping]
-I'll-- I'll drive.
Anja, when was
the last time you drove, huh?
-[Anja exclaims]
-[plate clatters]
-God damn fucking thing!
-Anja. Anja, Anja, Anja!
-Fuck this fucking thing!
-[plate shattering]
[Jamie] Hey! Hey. Hey, hey!
Shh, shh, shh!
I fucking hate you,
I fucking hate you!
Hey, hey. Shh.
-Anja.
-I fucking...
Anja,
it's just a slice on the floor.
All right? There's,
like, eleven more slices.
-[Anja grunting]
-Hey. Shh, shh, shh, shh.
-[softly] Hey, hey, hey, hey.
-[Anja weeping]
Hey. It's okay.
[Anja breathing heavily]
I-- I'm...
getting...
better.
Anja, stop nerdling me.
Still...
love...
me?
Yeah.
More...
than...
beer?
[Jamie laughs]
More than beer, huh?
[chuckles]
I don't know, darling.
I mean,
that really depends tonight.
Are we talking one, or
we talking the whole six-pack?
[both chuckling]
Oh, come here.
Come here, come here, come here,
come here, come here.
Put gription on it there.
Don't get all herky-jerky.
Work smarter, not harder.
[young Jamie] Grampy! Help!
[indistinct] I told you to
keep your foot out of the bite!
I got you. You're all right.
You just got caught up.
Happens to everybody.
You're gonna fish,
you're gonna get caught.
[young Jamie breathing heavily]
Don't tell your mother,
all right?
[Dee] Saw your dad and Paul
in here earlier.
Yeah, I hope that
didn't ruin your morning.
Hey, how's Anja doing?
-[door bell jingles]
-Yeah, I mean, she's, um--
It is gonna be
a beautiful day out there, huh?
Yeah, you guys have it
made all year round.
I do not get a view like this
where I'm from.
And where is that?
Uh, North Quincy.
Um, yeah, I mean, she's fine.
-You just gotta take it
day by day, you know?
-Yeah.
-Sorry to interrupt here.
-It's paying off.
I can see her getting better.
[clears throat]
Can I get a couple crates
of bluefish from you?
Can I get that here?
What do you need
all that bait for?
Uh, don't worry about it.
I have a license.
Yeah, well,
if you're from out of state,
all you got is
a recreational license,
which only gives you five traps,
so I don't know what
you need all that bait for.
Well, you don't need
to worry about it.
I know what the Maine laws are.
Really?
Well, what are your colors?
Wouldn't happen to be
yellow buoys, would it?
[scoffs]
How'd you know that?
'Cause those are the color buoys
that got snagged up
in my gear the other day.
And I didn't touch you, 'cause
I didn't know who you were.
But since you know
how Maine works,
you'll understand that
next time you set your traps
like an idiot,
you're gonna get
your strings cut.
The bait?
[rock music playing
over speakers]
[bar din]
[Thongchai] You used to be
so much more fun, guy.
-Another round?
-[Thongchai] Yeah, and, uh...
whatever those two are having.
Who are they?
Must be tourists.
That's what I was hoping for.
I'll be back.
Hey. Can I get some quarters
for the pool table?
-[woman] Yeah, how much?
-Lots.
Jeez, you must be pretty good.
I'm the best.
[Thongchai] Hey, Ugly.
Let's go, man. Come on.
It's all set up.
They're dying to meet you.
Let's go.
-Can you smile today?
-Yeah, sure.
So, uh, this is...
I'm Audrey.
-And that's Dana.
-Danna.
Danna.
Like, uh, banana?
Never heard that before.
Are you guys,
like, real lobstermen?
Oh,
we're natural-born lobstermen.
This is what we do.
-Where are you guys from?
-[Danna] We're juniors
at Princeton.
I'm majoring in art history,
and Audrey's
studying French lit.
My parents rented a big house
out here for the summer.
Amazing. That's--
that's pretty cool, huh?
-Dang. Yeah.
-[pool player] Whoo!
All right.
So check this out.
You guys see this?
-I got bit by a pig.
-Oh, Jesus Christ. Not the
frackin' pig story again.
So we're at this big party
at the Ogdens' house, right?
In their barn. Hanging out
with their pig all night long.
You feed anybody beer
all night long, they're--
-I'm gonna take a piss.
-All right. Don't mind him.
I'm feeding this pig beer...
Why do they call you Ugly?
You were listening?
Your friend's loud.
Uh, yeah, it's my last name.
Name, please?
Uh, James Eugley.
Occupation, James Eugley?
Hey, look, I was just
trying to hit the head.
[pool player] Oh, "the head"!
So we both work on boats.
Occupation?
-I'm a lobsterman.
-Oh.
Do you ever take people
on your lobster boat?
Yeah, sometimes.
Me?
Nah, I can't. Um...
Why not?
Yeah,
I'm just a bit superstitious
about that kind of--
Oh, no. Please, don't tell me
women are bad luck on boats.
Come on!
Hey, look, I don't
make the rules, you know.
Married?
[Jamie] Uh, no.
Girlfriend?
Uh...
no, not really.
Well, which is it? Yes or no?
It's just, um...
a bit too complicated
to get into that right now.
Okay.
-What's your name?
-Oh, oh, oh. I'm running
the show here, mister.
[Jamie] Okay. We'll rack 'em up.
If I beat you, then
you tell me what your name is.
Your friend won't mind?
Nah, he's busy
telling his pig story.
Okay.
But I do make the rules.
[]
[Jamie] So is this
how you play down in Florida?
[pool player] Nope.
Your turn.
[Jamie] Are you up here
for the whole summer?
[pool player] Pretty much.
I'm the first mate on the
Violeta down in Camden Harbor.
We just got up here
about a week ago.
Oh, yeah. Yeah, I know that one.
So, what, you just up here
to have a good time, then?
Of course.
Well, um, what else do you want?
What do you mean?
I mean, what else do you want
beyond going back and forth
from one place to another
each season, you know?
You mean out of life?
-Aw, Christ!
-[laughing]
Oh, kee-ryst!
Drink up, lobsterman.
Uh... yeah. You know,
I mean, what do you, uh--
what do you want out of life?
I want it all.
I wanna live
more than one lifetime.
You know,
I wanna sail around the world,
but I also wanna grow gardens
and live like a hermit
in a cabin in the woods,
you know?
Just bash away all the bullshit
and give it all I got.
This is it.
I want a free pass.
I'm Happy.
Cheers, Happy.
Cheers, Ugly.
[both chuckling]
[soft, twangy music]
Guess who bought
Parker Snow's house?
-Hi, Ma.
-It wasn't a day on the market
and some Masshole came up here
and paid for it on the spot
with a check.
-[laughs]
-I knew that was gonna happen.
A check! You buy friggin'
eggs and milk with a check,
not a friggin' house.
That's all we need, is a bunch
of check-writing dipshits
moving into the neighborhood.
Come here, Anja.
How you doing, honey?
How you doing?
-You wanna help me with this?
-Mm-hmm.
-Is Dad in the back?
-Yeah.
You're gonna take it...
-Mm-hmm.
-...and pull it. All right?
-[laughs]
-Yeah. Good.
There she is! Good morning.
Jesus Christ.
-Hey, Dad.
-[James sighs]
What took you so long?
I figured your truck
shit the bed again.
Uh, no, it was Anja.
[Senior] Ah.
What'd you pull today?
Just a little under 50.
You?
Wouldn't you like to know?
First one out of the harbor
this morning.
Me and Doug Kane, out at 3:30.
I didn't see you, though.
Figured you were probably still
snuggled up in your onesie.
Yeah, well,
I wasn't far behind you, Pops.
Frickin' ruckus at
Churchie's last night.
Got into it with
the Fogerty boys.
Kenny and Ev show up
like they own the place.
I told them to get the fuck out.
For fuck's sake, Dad. Why?
You don't have to
start it up with them.
'Cause they're like sharks.
And if you don't fight back
the first time they bump you,
they're gonna come
back at you hard.
-Fuckin' great.
-What?
Nothing.
That's great.
Here you go. Windy.
You know what I gotta hear about
at my next selectmen's meeting?
What?
I got a letter today from
these people from Connecticut
complaining about
a noise ordinance,
saying they didn't
move all this way
just to be woken up at 3:30
in the morning by lobster boats.
Yeah? So what are you
gonna do about it?
Oh, you don't wanna know.
Maybe he does wanna know.
[Senior] Well, maybe I'm just
tired of hearing about it.
Well, maybe I don't give a shit.
Anyway,
it's gonna be a big meeting.
Lots of people
are gonna be there.
Hey, babe,
you don't need another one.
Yes, Jamie, I-- I want it.
I can have it.
It's okay. It's fine.
It's just a tail.
It's got no cholesterol.
Why don't you have some corn?
Would you like some corn?
[sighs] Here. Take that.
[lobsterman 1 on radio]
Great, everything's already
fucking jammed up in here.
Too many traps in the water.
[lobsterman 2 on radio]
Don't say that out loud.
Big Brother's listening.
[lobsterman 3 on radio]
They can listen all they want.
We've been working these waters
for 150 years.
We're the only ones keeping
this fishery sustainable.
You hear that?
[man on radio]
I tell you what, buddy.
If we don't start
paying attention,
they're gonna
take it all away from us.
They're giving us 90-day curfew
and more restrictions.
[lobsterman 3] Jesus Christ,
they're killing us!
They can get on a stepladder
and jump up my sphincter.
[man] I'm telling you, we need
to all stand together on this.
[lobsterman 3]
How you gonna get 3,000
fishermen all see eye-to-eye?
It's like herding cats.
[lobsterman 2]
Well, I'll tell you what.
In 20 years,
it's gonna be illegal to fish.
The feds will buy
all our boats,
and when it's legal
to fish again,
we'll work like dogs
for 100 bucks a day.
[lobsterman 3]
Yeah! Then they'll claim
they created the jobs.
Hey, you fucktards wanna shut up
and let me haul in peace?
[lobsterman 1] Well, no need
to get all uncunted over it.
The best bumper sticker
I ever saw said,
"Use your goddamn turn signal,
then save Tibet."
[laughing]
Come on! That's funny.
[both chuckling]
-How's it going, Jamie?
-What's up, Jeannie? Hey, Paul.
Today was a joke.
Yeah, I fuckin' know it.
We didn't even
get our bait back.
[sighs] Same.
[Jeannie]
Oh, I meant to tell you.
I found out about
that new buddy of yours.
-Who?
-Mr. "Two Crates of Bluefish"?
Yeah, who is he?
Name is Neal Ames,
and he's got a lot of cash
'cause he just bought
Martin Bragg's Novi.
And he got the federal permit
to go with it.
[Jamie exhales]
Yeah, well, if he's got
no property in the water,
he's just pissing in the wind.
[Jeannie] Yeah, well,
that's the best part.
He is the one that bought
Parker Snow's house.
What,
the one that wrote the check?
Yep. So now he's got
a full license to fish.
Must've just snuck in there,
'cause all that shit's
gonna shut down next year.
[sighs] Jesus.
Well, he's pretty fuckin' numb
if he thinks he's gonna
get in around here.
Oh, don't worry about it.
-You know,
he's just wasting his money.
-[bar door opens]
Oh, shit.
[soft rock music
playing over speakers]
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
Where are you going?
You're not going anywhere.
Paul, I got a girl at home
with a brain injury, all right?
Right now my house
could be on fire.
-Call on Jeannie's office phone.
-Yeah, yeah.
Look, Paul, you could
just leave right now too,
and not be part of what
may or may not happen tonight.
Yeah, but then
the Fogertys think they can
run us out of our own bar.
Not everyone's
gonna fuckin' leave.
People will stay.
Not everyone's
that fucking smart.
-What do you want, Ev?
-You know.
Just wanted to see if
you were gonna do something.
About what?
Your old man said
we couldn't be in the bar.
I wanna see what
you have to say about it.
Yeah, well, did I say
you couldn't come back?
The old man did.
Yeah, well,
I'm not my fucking dad.
[Ev] Jeannie. Let's get a round.
[elevator dings]
Hey, this is for,
uh, next month.
You know, you've been awful
good with helping her lately.
No problem.
Gotta tell you,
she has still up and down.
She gets overloaded easily.
We're still at
a high risk of a setback.
But, let me show you.
What'd she do now?
As you know,
the clock drawing test is
a simple and effective way
to check on cognitive
and spatial functionality.
Recognize these?
Yeah, I mean, she was
doing these three years ago.
Come on.
Don't tell me that she's--
She did this one yesterday.
Sometimes breakthroughs
happen with no warning.
It's time.
Get her out in
real-life situations.
Socializing, work.
Maybe even driving.
Not sitting here
and doing puzzles all day.
You've gotten her this far.
Keep it going.
Put it into...
R...
-...reverse.
-Reverse.
Yeah. Throw it in there,
and then slowly
let go of the brake.
And, yep.
And crank it, crank it.
-Uh-huh.
-Yeah, it can-- There you go.
-[Anja giggles nervously]
-There you go! And...
Yep, left pedals. Stop. Yeah!
-[giggling]
-Okay. Yeah, keep it on there,
keep it on there.
There you go.
How's that feel? Feel good?
Good.
Yeah. It's, um...
it's starting...
to come back.
-[giggles]
-Okay, good.
Well, hey, we are, um--
we are unregistered
and unlicensed and
totally uninsured, but...
let's do it. Right?
Okay.
Let's go. There you go.
Oh, hey. No, no.
Uh, wrong way, wrong way.
You put it into drive.
Yeah. Yep. There.
[dramatic music]
Okay, and slowly on the gas.
[Anja giggling]
Funny to you, isn't it?
[Dee] So, what are we talking
about? A couple of weeks?
I'm not gonna
pay her or anything.
[Carolyn] No, no, no.
More like an internship.
She's just gonna shadow you,
pick up on some math skills,
some customer interaction.
That's all.
Okay, sure, if it helps Anja.
Are-- are you gonna
leave me here?
No, I'll be right here.
-Got your notebook?
-Mm-hmm.
Okay, watch.
This guy's getting a six-pack.
Take the money,
and we put the total in.
-[register chimes]
-Then...
we make the change.
Easy.
Okay. Why don't you grab
this next customer?
-[woman] Pack of Reds, please.
-Grab what?
Get her a pack
of cigarettes, Anja.
Um... uh-- [laughs nervously]
My grandma smoked
a carton every day,
and-- and my grandpa
said that she, um--
Uh, when she died, her--
her lungs were all filled with,
-um, black-- black gunk--
-She's in training.
Thank you.
[door bell jingles]
Anja? I think you should
handle the next customer.
I just wanted to wish you
a good first day.
[tender music]
You gotta be fucking kidding me.
[muttering angrily]
[]
[Maynard] When someone
sets over your traps,
you got two ways
to go about it.
You can confront the guy,
or you can take some time,
cool off.
Talk breezy.
[young Jamie]
Which one is it, Grampy?
Depends on who the asshole is.
[exhales] Fuck yeah.
[tense music]
Captain Numbnuts still don't
know how it fuckin' works, huh?
I gave you fair fuckin'
warning, asshole.
I gave you fair fuckin' warning.
Gave you fair fuckin' warning.
This coming through clear?
Fucking piece of shit!
[grunts]
[rain pattering]
[Anja gasps softly]
[door opens]
[gentle music]
[chuckles]
You look-- you look great.
[Anja] You-- you...
like it? [giggles]
Yeah.
What's all this?
It's corn ch-- chowder.
It has peppers
and h-- hot sauce.
It's southwestern.
How long you been planning this?
A week.
[]
[lifts lid]
I can't believe it.
It-- it's true!
Ca-- Carolyn and I went-- went
to the-- the grocery, and we--
No, no, Anja, Anja.
It's great. It's great.
It's great.
You did-- you did
a really good job.
[Anja giggles]
[]
[hopeful music]
[Thongchai] Made you look,
made you look.
-Go that way.
-Let's go.
-[Thongchai] Now you get
two moves, you get two moves.
-Get the king, get the king.
[all cheering]
-[Anja laughing]
-[Jamie] Anja!
[]
[telephone ringing]
-Yeah.
-[Jamie on phone] Hey, Mom.
Are you free this afternoon?
Maybe. Why?
[Jamie] I was just wondering
if you could come over
and watch Anja for a bit.
I, um-- I just--
I got some things that I got to
take care of after work.
[Donna] It's the third time
this week. What's up?
[Jamie] Nothing.
Well, either you
have a new girlfriend,
or you're rocking a new
Oxy habit. So which is it?
[Jamie] Jesus Christ.
There's nothing, Mom.
Well, then why can't
you just tell me?
[Jamie] Fuckin' A!
'Cause I'm 27 years old,
and I don't need anybody's
permission to go out,
that's why.
Excuse me, James. Did you
just say the F-word to me?
No, Ma, it wasn't--
it wasn't, like, to you--
[Donna] Let me tell you
something, you little tick.
Nobody in this family,
not even your friggin' father,
gets away with
saying the F-word to me.
You understand me?
Ma, I wasn't saying it to you.
Okay? I promise. I'm sorry.
All right.
I'll be over in
about a half hour.
[Jamie] Okay. Thanks.
[hangs up phone]
Hi! Oh, hello. What's your name?
-[girl] Vera.
-Hi, Vera.
It's nice to meet you.
Hi. Welcome.
Careful on your way up there.
It's a little... tricky.
Um... Oh! Hello. You made it.
[Jamie] Heck yeah.
You ready for a thrill ride?
[exhales] Yeah. Why don't you
show me what you got?
-Come on.
-Okay.
[]
Okay. So, folks, things that
the Coast Guard requires of us.
First thing is life vests.
When we're down in Key West,
it's real nice to
get into the water.
Take my word for it.
When you're here in Maine,
you do not wanna do that.
If you're feeling a little bit
queasy, I recommend looking down
straight at the horizon
and just try to aim downwind
as much as possible.
And other than that,
feel free to roam around
the boat and enjoy your day.
[chuckles]
[tranquil music]
I think now is a good time
to do a little pop quiz.
So,
what side of the boat is this?
[man] The port side.
[Happy] Yes! You got it. Okay.
Now, what about this side?
-Starboard.
-Starboard! Wonderful.
Amazing. All right.
And all the way up here...
what do we call this?
-[woman] The bow.
-[Happy] The bow! Take a bow.
Wonderful, ladies and gentlemen.
Wonderful.
[]
[Jamie] You sure you don't
want a regular, year-round job?
You know?
Canning lobster, picking crab?
Oh, oh, okay, wait.
Please don't be offended,
but I'll probably never eat
one of those bottom-feeders
you like to catch.
It doesn't bother me.
You know, I'd rather have
a hamburger anyways.
-[scoffs] Wow.
-What? Don't tell me
you're a vegetarian.
-Nothing wrong with that.
-Wow. You're a vegetarian, too?
-Oh, yeah. You should talk.
You smell like herring crotch.
-[Jamie laughs]
-You know,
I can't get used to you.
-[Happy] Oh, no?
What do you mean?
I'm-- I'm a sweetie.
I'm literally the nicest
girl you'll ever meet.
[Jamie] Yeah?
But you got a heart like
a bilge pump, though.
[Happy laughs] Well, honestly,
I've been told worse.
Oh, my God.
[gasps]
Wow.
-[knocks on glass]
-Come on. Come on!
Damn, lobsterman.
[laughs] This is amazing! Wow.
Oh, God.
I really try not to fall in love
with places like this, 'cause...
at the end of the season,
I know I gotta go.
Yeah, you gotta admit,
this place is pretty nice, huh?
You know...
actually,
you smell like wood smoke.
-[chuckles]
-[Happy sniffs]
Laundry soap and wood smoke.
Oh! And here you are
in my evil clutches. [laughs]
Except I haven't
been clutched yet.
So, uh...
do you love her?
Do we really have to
talk about this right now?
I really prefer when people
are straight up with me.
Yeah, um... [clears throat]
Her name's Anja.
Um, we used to be together.
Well, I mean,
we still live together.
So, did you break up?
[Jamie] No.
No, it's not like that.
She's got a, uh,
severe head injury.
Oh, my God.
It's not really something
that I talk about.
Well, um...
do you mind if I at least
ask what happened?
[]
[boom]
[people cheering]
[cheery music playing]
[]
[man] You can get
the lobster on the side...
[]
[people cheering, applauding]
My mother's somewhere
here with Anja.
Man, your mom's a saint.
Dude, there's no chicks here.
This is just tourist central.
I don't remember asking you
to come with us.
That's real funny, Eugley.
Oh, shit.
Would you look at them assholes.
[man]
Fuck are they doing here?
Man, what the fuck
you gonna do about it?
-I'll friggin'...
-Yeah, you'll take 'em both on,
I'm sure.
Hey!
Hey,
what the fuck are you doing?
[Thongchai] Hey, get over there!
[Jamie] The fuck was that about?
Stay here, Tadpole, you dumbass.
-Why do I have to stay here?
-'Cause you're a fucking idiot,
that's why.
So how those OUI classes going?
Ah...
What?
You gonna those classes or not?
I just... I don't know.
[scoffs] Come on, guy.
It's fuckin' embarrassing.
-[Thongchai sighs]
-I mean,
you got no driver's license.
You got your sternman driving
you around. Like, just...
I just-- I don't know.
They said I have to go to
a couple of these, like,
counseling things
or something like that
before I could get it back.
Yeah, so what? You probably do.
I mean, shit,
I friggin' need counseling.
Just make the appointment.
I'll take you.
-You'd go with me?
-Yeah.
Of course, man.
I'm your fuckin' brother.
[laughing] I'm sorry.
You're such a cornball.
Shut the fuck up, Thongchai.
-I'll catch you later.
-Yeah, all right.
[people cheering]
[people chatting]
Hey there, lobsterman.
You, uh, mind
taking this off my hands?
I forgot,
I'm not really into sweets.
I'm more of a salty gal,
if you know what I mean.
Yeah? Yeah.
What? You were just--
were you just looking for me
-to give me your leftovers?
-Oh, okay.
Don't flatter yourself. You
walked into my gazebo.
Um...
What are you doing all
the way down here?
You know,
checking out the scene,
seeing the people and...
had to free some lobsters.
Yeah. Don't tell anyone.
-Don't do it.
-[Happy] I have to.
-I'm here on a mission.
-[Anja] Jamie!
Jamie. Jamie. Jamie.
Jamie. Jamie. Jamie. Jamie!
They have fried dough here
and it's so good.
-Have you tried it?
-No, I haven't.
Oh, my gosh, they have toppings
and-- and-- Jamie, it's amazing.
Hey! Eugley.
Where's the rest of your crew,
you prick?
-[thumping]
-[grunting]
You hit him!
Oh, my God!
[Jamie] Hey, Anja.
Anja, come here.
-Come here.
-I'm so sorry.
Can't you ever
fucking listen to me?
Come on.
Are you fucking stupid?
That was a brand-new trap.
Christ, Jimmy, you did
the same damn thing at his age.
Yeah.
Never gonna get that one back.
It's a ghost now.
I gotta get out of this town.
Yeah.
Maybe you should come down
to the Keys, you know?
It'll just be a couple weeks.
Not too long.
Yeah.
I'm serious.
Come on, you'd love it.
We'll wake up...
[grunts]
...go to Bahama Mamas,
get some bloodies
and some cheese grits
and some hash cakes.
Have you ever had
any of that stuff?
Oh, and then we'll go
on my friend's catamaran
and do a little booze cruise.
We'll get some beers, and once
we're done boozing and cruising,
we'll probably be just about
ready for lunch at that point.
So we'll go get ourselves
some of these fucking
fantastic jackfruit tacos.
I'm not kidding.
You're never gonna
eat meat ever again.
You're gonna be a veg
just like me.
And then...
We'll go to a party.
You just walk around
until you find one.
You know what I like about you?
What's up?
Oh!
You make my drinking
look like it's not a problem.
What do you say?
You won't be gone
from Anja that long.
Goddamn.
You know,
all you gotta do is just...
take off on a boat
whenever you want.
I got things that I gotta
take care of around here.
Like if you knew
what my life was really like,
you wouldn't think this is
worth sticking around for.
[Happy] What? That you're
worn out from trying
to take care
of everybody by yourself?
Gee, that's a shocker.
My mom's friend came up to me
at the beach store this morning,
saying she heard
I yelled at Anja in public.
She railed on me
in front of everyone about
what a lousy person I was.
But I just-- I had
to get Anja out of there
because he was two seconds
from hitting her,
and I swear to God,
if he fucking touched her--
It's what you had to do.
Okay?
Yeah, but just imagine if...
I took off with you
for a couple weeks.
What would everybody say?
"Yeah, that Eugley kid.
Some fucking asshole
he turned out to be."
Are you kidding me?
No one would say that about you.
Not a single person,
because you are the one
who has stuck it out
through the good and the bad
with this girl.
Okay?
You know,
part of me is jealous of Anja.
The other part of me
feels guilty that you're
here with me and not her.
You said she's getting
better every day, right?
Yeah.
Well, then you gotta
look to the future.
You're at the bottom and...
crushed on all sides.
That...
is when you have to do something
completely unexpected.
[soft music]
[crickets chirping]
Did you get the...
red...
k-kind paint I wanted?
Uh, no.
I'm sorry. I forgot.
I knew it!
What the hell is it now, Anja?
-It's not like I--
-Stupid Jamie.
You always think of you!
Anja, I'm tired of you having
a meltdown every time
the cap is off
the freaking toothpaste.
Like you forget
all the things I do for you
because your memory's
so fucking screwed up.
I know what...
I remember.
Look, I'll try to get
you paint tomorrow, okay?
No, you won't!
You forget tomorrow too,
and the next day too.
You don't do nothi--
[grunts]
Anything for me anymore!
Leave me alone, Anja.
I made $14 today.
We're 200 grand in debt
over your hospital bills.
And now you're
all drove up my ass
the minute I walk in the door.
I can't afford
your paint right now.
I can't even afford
a cup of coffee.
Like you think
you're fun to live with?
I haven't been able to sleep
right in the past three years
because I've been worrying
about how I'm gonna pay
for everything here!
Go... away.
Yeah, don't worry. I'm gone.
You go away again! Again!
By myself all the time!
You leave. You don't care.
You leave and you don't care.
-Just go away.
-Oh, I don't care?
I don't care. I don't care?
You know what your parents
have done for you
these past three years?
Fucking nothing.
And that last boyfriend
of yours, guess what?
He would've been gone
a long fucking time ago.
I'm the one who stays, Anja!
He didn't do...
this to me.
[Anja whimpers]
[]
[grunts]
[somber music]
[breathing heavily]
[beer bottle cap clinking]
-[Jeannie] Gotta be kidding.
-[Paul] Some conservation group
says they're gonna sue.
They want more regulations
and more restrictions
on days we can fish.
[Jeannie] Oh, Jesus Christ.
It's always some paper pusher,
thinks he knows
more than the fisherman.
[Paul] Hey, Chuck.
Paul. How you doing?
And the lovely
Miss Jeannie Churchill.
Would you be so kind?
Whiskey, neat.
[clears throat]
[tense music]
[Jamie] Guess you didn't get
the message yet, did you, pal?
What's that?
You might wanna
go check your traps.
Or, you know, what? Better yet,
I'll give it to you straight.
Don't even bother
taking your boat out no more.
You're all done
lobstering around here.
Could you get this man a drink?
He needs it.
[door opens, closes]
I promise I...
won't yell no more.
I don't want you to go.
I'm not going anywhere, okay?
Even if I have to go stomp
around for a little bit,
I'm always gonna come back.
[soft music]
[music intensifies]
I just got about 70 traps
cut over by Seal Rock.
Well, ain't that a coincidence?
We just found
some of ours cut too.
Lines that were fishing well.
Is this real?
Who wrote this?
I don't know.
Any of the regatta's been
through here in the last week?
McGoggin, any of those assholes?
-Not that I heard.
-I'm gonna get these fuckers.
[man] Easy.
We have to find out.
There's ain't no accident.
We're getting worked over hard.
Let's check it out.
I'm gonna get ahold of Don
before it comes back in.
We're gonna
do this the right way.
There's people looking over
here, so don't say anything.
We'll have a meeting
in a little while.
You can always put this
all together if you want.
Jamie! Dee said...
I did so good, and Jamie,
she said she liked me.
-Jamie, she liked me.
-Hey, honey.
Give me one second. Okay?
One second.
Ma, I just had 70 traps cut.
And so did Dad, Doug, and Paul.
We think it's the Fogertys.
You're shitting me.
-Jamie.
-What?
Dee said if I do good next week,
that she's gonna--
she's gonna start paying me.
Jamie, she's gonna
start paying me.
Jamie needs to think
for a minute.
I'm gonna call your father.
[Don] What do you wanna do?
You wanna call Fogerty up?
We just lost ten grand
worth of gear today.
We're not calling that fucker up
just so he can lie to us.
[Doug] You can't go off half
cock when we don't have proof.
He's been pulling our lines
for years. No doubt it's him.
It's gotta be
Ev and his brothers.
That whole thing
the other day was stupid.
[Thongchai] Ev came after Jamie.
I heard you gave him
good reason to.
Not us.
That was Tadpole's dumb ass.
Me and him had nothing
to do with that.
This. This is that hot-headed
kiddie shit I can't stand.
Look, they leveled me.
Okay? So why don't you
let this be my deal?
You can't just cut
the Fogertys and walk away.
You say to Dale,
"Unless somebody
steps forward--"
No, no. Look, look, look.
There's more than one way
to handle Dale Fogerty.
Okay? If it's one thing
that Gramps taught me--
You think your grandpa could
handle Dale Fogerty?
Yeah. Dale just loves when
people try to reason with him.
No, no. He'd go
after the soft spot
-just like he did--
-No, Gramps was the best
damn highlighner--
Your grandpa was a pussy!
Hey, hey, hey. Enough. Enough.
Jeez.
Yeah, I see you inherited
more than just his territory,
Jim, I'm saying you start
a trap war with them,
it's not gonna be
just on you anymore.
Don. We'll have a dialogue.
-We'll have a--
-There is no time
for a dialogue, okay?
We do this tonight. Okay?
Tonight. Fuck.
[somber music]
[Senior] We're about 50 yards
ahead of you.
Just rounding Courage Bay now.
Copy that.
[Senior] All right,
stick with the plan.
Turn your radio off.
How many we're gonna whack?
Many as we can find
before daylight.
If the guy gets
his shit together.
Hey, man, chill out.
Think you might wanna
take a break from your
fucking addictions tonight
in case we actually
need to fight?
You need to relax, precious.
Nothing's gonna happen.
Just fucking stay sharp.
This is so fucking stupid.
[seagulls squawking]
[]
I just saw something.
-Another boat.
-[Jamie] No.
-You all right?
-No. No.
I fucked up, okay? We shouldn't
be out here right now.
What are you talking about?
Look, I'm dead serious,
Thongchai.
There's gonna be some trouble.
I'm not turning around now, guy.
Man, what the fuck
are you doing?
I feel it in my bones, man.
Okay, we need to
turn back right now!
Shit.
Your dad, Doug and Paul,
they're relying on us.
I don't give a fuck, okay?
Just let me off.
Fuck you.
[muttering]
[]
-[lobsterman 1] Bunch of cut
gear over here in Courage.
-Oh, shit.
-[lobsterman 2]
Oh, that ain't good.
-[lobsterman 3] Yep. Saw that.
Did the Fogertys
set on somebody?
[lobsterman 1] No idea. Dale's
out there right now with Ev.
[lobsterman 2]
Is Kenny with him?
[lobsterman 4] What the hell
happened last night?
Everyone stay calm.
We had a little activity
in the harbor last night.
I was getting calls at 2:00 a.m.
about some boats out there.
I'll handle this.
[lobsterman 3] I was up at 2:00
and it was thick of fog,
but I heard several boats
out there.
Couldn't see
no running lights on.
Makes it pretty damn obvious.
[lobsterman 2]
My family's been lobstering
these waters 150 years.
And if you can't haul your own
traps and leave others alone,
you need to get out
of the business.
[lobsterman 4] Are you saying
somebody whacked the Fogertys?
[lobsterman 5] The Fogertys?
They're freaking druggies
and pirates.
Couldn't have happened
to a better family.
[lobsterman 4]
Now the papers will be crawling
all over us again.
[lobsterman 5] Where's marine
patrol? Where's Roger Powers?
[Dale] Where are
the fucking Eugleys?
Like I said, Dale,
we're trying hard as you
to get a hold of them.
They're not answering.
We've got some people out
on the water looking for them.
[Dale] If they're not answering,
they're the suspect.
-I'm pissed.
-Well, I would be, too.
I just wanna get
some more time, that's all.
[Dale]
I need some goddamn answers.
-I understand. I just--
-[Dale] No, you don't.
You have no idea
what's about to happen.
I got to get back
to marine patrol.
They've been calling me
all morning.
You're not calling
marine patrol.
We'll take it from here.
Look, you guys got me involved.
Now Fogerty's making it my--
-Roger.
-I got a--
Roger! You're not
calling marine patrol.
[Senior] The fuck you doing
all the way out here?
You got your radio off?
We just gonna stand there, huh?
You even know what's happened?
Kenny Fogerty was
out there waiting for you.
-What?
-[Senior] Yeah, he beat
the fuck out of Thongchai
with a bottle of scotch.
Fractured his skull.
He was airlifted
to Portland last night.
My God.
Well, we know
he's in stable condition.
-And Kenny got arrested.
-What the fuck
were you thinking getting
off Thongchai's boat?
We were all out there
because of you.
You get off in the fucking
dock and have those guys
do your fucking
dirty work for you.
Now your best friend's
got his fucking face
beating in because of it.
It's them.
Pretty fucking poor I had
to come all the way out here
to find where
you've been hiding out.
No one's hiding from you,
sunshine.
Yeah, right.
That's why you're
way the hell out here, huh?
[Paul] What are you doing
out here looking for us?
Maybe cause we just had
about 50 of our traps whacked.
[Senior] Oh, really?
Well, Jamie had
70 cut the other day.
[Dale] Are you trying to say we
had something to do with that?
[Senior] Why not?
Your family's always been
scabbing around our gear.
Ah. You know what, Eugley?
I love how high
and mighty you act.
The last 30 years,
you ain't been nothing
but a whiny little bitch every
time one of your traps gets cut.
So you got your traps cut,
we got ours.
What do you got to say about it?
-[Senior] Wasn't us.
-[Dale] Wasn't asking you.
Now, Jamie,
Why don't you tell me the truth?
I didn't cut your traps.
Right.
What are we doing here, pops?
[tense music]
Hey, look, look.
nobody needs to get shot
over it, all right?
I just need to know
if you cut my traps first,
then we can settle this.
[Senior] Don't bother asking.
He ain't gonna tell you shit.
I didn't cut your lines.
Where the fuck you going?
What are we gonna do?
Stand in 'til the sun goes down?
He said he didn't do it.
What can't you fucking
do as you're told, huh?
-Why do you always
gotta fuck things up?
-Jim.
Every year it's something
between our family and theirs.
Waiting for somebody to cross
some imaginary fucking line.
Nobody ever learns
and I'm fucking sick of it.
You were the one fucking
gunning for this.
Well, you can take each other
out till there's nobody left.
Cause I'm fucking
done with this shit.
[gunshot]
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!
Hold it. Hold it.
Man, we used to ride
our bikes here.
[Jamie] We had
our first fight here, too.
[Thongchai] It was the first
time I kicked your ass.
[]
Hey, man, look, I'm...
I'm really sorry.
I've been a pretty shit friend,
and I shouldn't have
left you that night.
It's all right, man. I'm alive.
You're the one
that looks like shit.
God, they banged you up
pretty fucking good, man.
Shit.
We should see Ev Fogerty.
There's not a damn
scratch on him. [laughs]
Fuck.
[Jamie] Hey, man. Hey, look. I--
Just know that I got
you covered, okay?
Half of my catch is yours.
All you gotta do is get better.
Ahh, what you need, guy?
You need more pain meds?
You want another beer?
You know what's sad, Eugley?
You're probably the best
girlfriend I've ever had.
[soft banjo music]
Eugley.
Jeannie.
These past few weeks have just--
Everything's just
fucking gone to shit.
If it's about money,
I happen to know a place
you can get three bucks
over boat price.
Right here.
You know, um, that Ames guy,
he just bought
Quinn's Lobster Pound.
-You see?
-Un-fucking-believable.
There's talk that
he's got some big plans
and he's got
big money behind them.
I heard that he's gonna only
ask select guys to come to him,
and he's gonna give 'em
health insurance and benefits.
Ames is only out for himself.
Okay? He's trying to
incorporate a whole business
that belongs to the people
that live and work here.
[Jeannie] I only know
what I've heard,
and it sounds like nobody
made money this summer.
Maybe we gotta go another
way to survive.
No. Look, Ames is just
trying to cut everybody out.
[Jeannie] No, he pays his tab.
[Jamie] What are your colors?
Wouldn't happen to be
yellow buoys, would it?
[Ames] How'd you know that?
[Jamie] The next time you set
your traps like an idiot,
you're gonna
get your strings cut.
[Jeannie] What?
You said he bought
Parker Snow's place, right?
Yeah. Yeah, he did.
-All right.
-Jamie.
Jamie.
[tense music]
[car door slams]
[glass shatters]
Just figured it out.
-[Neal] Okay.
Don't, don't. Please.
-You know what the dub is?
-What?
-I give you a chance
to answer that
since you fucking know
-everything about lobster.
-I--
-[shattering]
-What's a dub?
It's someone who doesn't know
how to place their own traps.
Nice try, dub.
You know,
all I gotta do is go to Fogerty
right now
and tell him
how it all went down.
You cut his traps,
then you cut mine,
then you shut us both up
with that fake fucking note.
-I-- I didn't.
-Don't even fucking try!
Both our buoy colors
are on your boat.
I was just trying to
make a living, okay?
When I found out
that you had ruined my--
[glass shattering]
You have no idea
what you started, do you?
Once it gets out
it was you who started it,
they will definitely
hospitalize you.
They may even kill you.
And right now, I'm the only one
who can save your ass.
And I fucking hate you.
I really hate people like you.
I'd rather just sit back
and see what's coming to you.
[Neal] Okay.
Okay. Okay.
What should I do?
Here's what you gonna do.
You get out that famous
checkbook of yours, buddy.
You're gonna write a check
for ten grand to Dale Fogerty.
And you're gonna
write a check to me
and everyone else you cut.
Okay, sure. Yeah.
Um...
I just--
I just need to move some cash
around between accounts and--
[Jamie] Whatever.
I'll deliver Fogerty's check
and tell him
you were this fucking idiot
who cut his thinking
you were cutting mine.
But I'm gonna tell every one
of your select lobster fishermen
what you did.
And before you reopen
Quinn's Pound,
everyone's gonna know how
you do business around here.
You got that?
[whispering] Yes.
[whimpers]
[soft music]
Dale?
I came to talk to you.
So, you know,
I thought you might have been
the one to cut my traps,
but now I know the truth.
It was Ames.
Me and him got into it
earlier in the season,
and he ended up cutting yours,
thinking they were mine.
So, um,
I just went over and
straightened him out and, um,
made him write you a check
to cover your losses.
So you didn't think to
come to me first and ask?
Um...
Yeah, right. So, uh,
you know, here it is.
You know, when I found out
how many of my traps got cut,
I just lost it.
I wasn't thinking straight.
And because of our history.
You and me got no history.
Well, I mean, with Ev and Kenny.
[Dale] That's your fight
with them.
I never cut you personally,
did I?
You ever notice that?
My father and your grandfather,
yeah, we got into it.
But that was our fight.
And your father kept it up all
these years with his big mouth.
But not once did I ever
go after you personally.
Not one time.
I don't operate like my father.
Not anymore.
So, what is this?
Some kind of apology?
Yeah, I'd say it was.
[Dale] For your whole family?
Especially my father.
Ha!
Hey, Jamie.
Tell your old man...
Sunshine sends his regards.
Imagine sitting on a beach,
watching men go by in tiny,
ball-hugging thong bikinis.
What?
-[laughing]
-What the fuck?
Oh, no. There's so much
you don't know about the Keys.
It's okay. You'll learn.
You know, I, um...
I can only go down
for a couple weeks.
'Cause Anja's not gonna
be able to handle me being gone
much longer than that.
-I know.
-You know?
Yeah, I know.
[chuckles]
I just, I can't
let this get too heavy.
'Cause if I do,
I may not be coming back.
Nonsense.
We both know the rules.

[phone line ringing]
[door bell jingling]
-Hi.
-Thank God you're here.
My mom got transferred
to Maine Medical last night.
-Oh, no.
-I didn't even wanna
open the store, but--
[breathing heavily]
Look, are you up to speed?
Can you cover for me?
Yeah, yeah. I have all my notes.
Thanks. I'm-- I'm so wrecked.
I haven't slept all night. Um,
here are the keys, and...
here is my number.
Just call me if
you need anything, okay?
Yes. Yes, go to your mom.
[door bell jingles]
[exhales]
[soft piano music]
Thank you.
Have a good, great morning.
-[man] You new?
-[Anja] Mm-hmm.
I just started working
here full time.
I also just
started driving again.
My first pay check,
I am going to take
Jamie out to dinner.
[man] Um... [clears throat]
It's $7.54, and I gave you
a 20 and four pennies.
But the register says $12.46.
Yeah,
but I gave you four pennies.
That means you give me
$12.50 back. See?
But it-- it-- it says--
Look, just give me $12.50. Okay?
Let-- let me start over.
[woman] What's the hold up?
[man] I gotta be at work
and she won't give me my change.
[woman] Can we just
hurry up a little bit?
It's fine. It's fine, it's fine.
Doesn't matter.
Let me make this easy for you.
Uh, I-- I--
I don't re-- remember. Um--
Do you have cash?
Tell Dee to get her ass
back here, 'cause you suck.
[woman] No, I actually don't.
I already put gas in my tank
and I have to get to a meeting,
so could you just
take my card, please?
-I don't--
-Just run it through
the machine.
Is there a manager here
I could speak to?
-Is there anyone else working?
-[man] Are you okay?
[bell jingling]
[muffled] Are you okay?
[tense music]
Look, I have to go--
[woman speaking indistinctly]
[line ringing]
[phone ringing]
James Eugley?
[Anja] Is m-m-mother there?
I don't know why
you call her that.
She's not your mother.
She's not here.
Is...
J-Ja-- Jamie there?
[Senior] Why would he be here?
D-Do you know where he is?
Probably hanging out
with that girl.
I don't know. Listen, Anja,
I don't mind you coming here
when Jamie's off in Florida
doing whatever with her,
but it's gotta be
a one-time thing, okay?
[whimpering]
Hello? Anja.
[whimpering]
[grunting]
[]
[inhales]

[soft laugh]

[Jamie, muffled] Anja!
Anja!
Anja!
Anja?
Anja?
[pills rattling]
No, no, no, Anja.
Anja. Anja. Anja!
[]
Are we back to square one?
You asked me to be
honest with you.
We're miles behind square one.
The doctor says you need to be
prepared for the eventuality...
she may not ever move
beyond a vegetative state.
[inhales]
[waves crashing]
[woman]
Mr. Eugley?
Mr. Eugley?
Excuse me,
I have your bill. Mr. Eugley?
[waves intensify, stop]
Excuse me?
Fucking bill! Fucking shit!
God damn it!
[screams]
God!
[cries]
[grunts]
[breathing heavily]
[Jeannie] Some girl came in here
looking for you yesterday.
She left you this.
How's Anja?
The guys all wanna hold
a grange supper for you.
A little fundraiser
to help you get through.
Oh, fuck, Jeannie, no.
Please just call it off.
I can't.
[Jeannie] So much shit
has gone down.
Freaking unbelievable.
Now they can't find
Ames or his boat.
It's going around like wildfire.
[soft music]
[Anja laughing]
Oh, Anja.
You know, you might be
a little short for me.
-Yeah?
-Mm-hmm.
What are you gonna do, then?
You gonna throw me back?
-Nah.
-[laughs]
Nah, I'm in the market
for a new sternman.
[trap clanging]
["Song To The Siren"
by This Mortal Coil playing]
On the floating
Shipless oceans
I did all my best to smile
[Anja]
Are you really leaving?
-Come on,
-I don't need this right now.
Everybody fights.
Yeah, well, you know,
we've been fighting a lot.
So if you're not happy,
maybe you should just leave.
Oh, my God, so what?
People fight.
I'm not leaving you
because of that.
You're gonna have
to leave me first.
Stop nerdling me.
You mad?
You gonna keep yelling?
That was two minutes ago.
Now is now.
All we have is now.
Did I dream
You dreamed about me?
Were you here
When I was full-sail?
Now my foolish boat
Is leaning
Broken lovelorn
On your rocks
[Anja] All we have is now.
