Speaker 1 (00:23):
I didn't care where I landed. After I took off
on a tail in the Lives fifteen years ago. I
was just a scared little kid looking for a safe
place to hide. I snuck onto the first boat I
saw docked off the island shore. It was pure blind
luck that I happened.

Speaker 2 (00:39):
To belong to Marcus.

Speaker 3 (00:42):
Only you would leave a thirty foot yacht tied to
a rickety little fishing dog that's still here, isn't it
Gotta get creative if you want the full experience of
a place. It's a unique spot for cocktail hour. I'll
give you that. Make yourselves comfortable before we ship off.
Now it's a few hours back to the mainland. We

(01:02):
can't thank you enough for showing us around this place. Hmm,
it's just exquisite. Talk about a hidden gem for now, anyway,
mark my words. In ten years this island will be unrecognizable.
I'm trying to enjoy it while it's still my little secret.
You know what is that, Marc is sounds like your

(01:25):
crew is getting a little rowdy below deck. Just tired
a new bodyguard. I'm still breaking them in. What's going
on here?

Speaker 2 (01:38):
You got it? Sells a stowaway.

Speaker 3 (01:40):
Yeah, I can see that. What I don't understand is
why you're making a scene in front of my guests.

Speaker 4 (01:48):
I'm sorry, Box.

Speaker 2 (01:49):
I figured i'd come in and ask what you wren't
done with him?

Speaker 4 (01:51):
All right?

Speaker 2 (01:52):
You caught me?

Speaker 4 (01:52):
Okay, just let me go and we can leave it
at that. I don't want to hurt you.

Speaker 2 (01:56):
Man. This isn't a mouth on this one. It's a
punk like you.

Speaker 3 (02:04):
I tried to warn you get your hands off me.

Speaker 5 (02:09):
This morning.

Speaker 3 (02:12):
Come on, boys, play nice.

Speaker 2 (02:18):
There.

Speaker 3 (02:19):
Now we can talk. What's your name? Kid?

Speaker 2 (02:24):
Why should I tell you?

Speaker 3 (02:26):
Well, as long as you're hero my yacht, tough guy,
you're my guest, and I prefer to call my guests
by name.

Speaker 6 (02:32):
So Sneako, Nico, cute. That's short for something Nicholas. No
one calls me that Nicholas.

Speaker 7 (02:43):
Huh.

Speaker 3 (02:44):
I like that better has a certain gravitized nicholas.

Speaker 7 (02:49):
Uh.

Speaker 3 (02:50):
Thanks pretty strong for your age?

Speaker 7 (02:52):
Huh?

Speaker 3 (02:53):
What are you sixteen? Seventeen?

Speaker 4 (02:54):
I'm fifteen.

Speaker 3 (02:56):
I gotta say, for all your tough talk, you seem
a little spooked. I want to tell me what's going on.

Speaker 4 (03:02):
I don't know.

Speaker 3 (03:04):
Come on, you can trust me.

Speaker 4 (03:07):
I'm sorry. I tried to hit a ride. I needed
somewhere to lay low. I didn't mean any disrespect sneaking
out of your boat.

Speaker 3 (03:13):
It's a yacht kid yachts.

Speaker 4 (03:17):
I just I didn't have anywhere else to go, all right? Please,
if you could just give me a ride, I'll be
out of your hair as soon as we land.

Speaker 3 (03:25):
You've got a lot of nerve trying to pull something
like this.

Speaker 4 (03:28):
I know, I know, I'm sorry.

Speaker 3 (03:29):
I didn't say that was bad. Nerve like yours isn't
easy to come by. You must have gotten yourself into
a pretty serious situation.

Speaker 4 (03:39):
You've got no idea.

Speaker 3 (03:40):
I think you might be surprised, Nicholas. I've handled my
fair share of serious situations before. So what was your
plan after hitching a ride with this one?

Speaker 4 (03:56):
I haven't gotten that far.

Speaker 3 (03:59):
No, you haven't thought about what you're gonna do when
you get to the mainland, or how worry your family
will be when they notice.

Speaker 4 (04:06):
Don't have any family, not anymore.

Speaker 3 (04:09):
I see, Come on, Marcus, have a heart.

Speaker 8 (04:13):
Let's bring him back with us.

Speaker 3 (04:15):
Don't you have enough souvenirs?

Speaker 8 (04:17):
There's always room for one more.

Speaker 3 (04:20):
Please, I'm inclined to give him a ride, but I
have to ask you something.

Speaker 6 (04:26):
First, Nicholas, what's that?

Speaker 3 (04:28):
What are you willing to do for it?

Speaker 2 (04:30):
What am I?

Speaker 3 (04:30):
I'm offering you a golden ticket here. I want to
know you value my generosity. So what are you willing
to do for it?

Speaker 2 (04:44):
Anything?

Speaker 3 (04:46):
That's a good answer, kid, Let's get you a drink.
You think you can manage that right away?

Speaker 1 (04:54):
Sir?

Speaker 3 (04:55):
Thanks, I appreciate it, don't mention it. I've got you.

Speaker 1 (05:00):
I don't know exactly what Marcus saw me that made
him take me under his wing. Could he sense my ambition,
resourcefulness or did he just see a lost puppy that
he could train to be his attack dog.

Speaker 3 (05:14):
I apologize for my new employee. It doesn't really get
how I like things done.

Speaker 9 (05:18):
You know.

Speaker 3 (05:19):
I don't think he'll be around very long. You, on
the other hand, I have a good feeling about.

Speaker 2 (05:26):
Whatever it was he saved my life.

Speaker 1 (05:29):
By the time we reasure, Marcus had given me a job,
a place to live, everything I needed to start over
and survive. But the problem with owing everything that just
one person is how easily they can take it all away.

Speaker 8 (05:55):
Under Water Episode six, The Concert.

Speaker 2 (06:12):
Diego Marcus, What the fuck is this?

Speaker 3 (06:16):
Due diligence. Let's got a move on, shall we, If
you'd be so kind as to lend a head.

Speaker 2 (06:23):
Where are we taking them?

Speaker 3 (06:24):
You're not really in a position to be asking questions
right now.

Speaker 1 (06:28):
It's okay, I'm gonna figure this out, that's what God,
I'm gonna let anything happening.

Speaker 3 (06:33):
Thanks.

Speaker 2 (06:35):
I can take it from here. Can you at least
tell me what's going on?

Speaker 3 (06:40):
I don't know, Nicholas. Can you tell me what you
were thinking running your mouth to a local about our business.

Speaker 2 (06:48):
It's not like that. Diego's just been helping me out.
We could trust them.

Speaker 3 (06:52):
He gave you away in three seconds flat when I
talked to him yesterday. But when did you eve he
was playing secretary while you were out with us. It's
bad enough you are unreachable, but the fact that you
deputize someone without asking my permission. Come on, man, he's homeled,
He knew Honor's name. He could have been anyone on
the other end of that call, and he would have

(07:13):
led me straight to her. You get that clearly. I
was wrong to think you can handle this job alone.
Now I'm gonna have to finish it myself.

Speaker 2 (07:23):
Okay, you made your point. Just give me a chance
to talk to me.

Speaker 3 (07:28):
I gave you that sha and you blew it. I'm
sorry about this. It's nothing personal.

Speaker 2 (07:35):
I know I fucked up, but we ain't got to
do this.

Speaker 3 (07:40):
You've left me no choice.

Speaker 2 (07:41):
You divorce, you always have a choice.

Speaker 3 (07:46):
How are you still so naive after working for me
all these years? You've been slipping ever since you went
off the rails in Chicago. This job was supposed to
get you back in line, but instead you've just proved
that I can't trust you.

Speaker 2 (08:05):
Okay, I've been.

Speaker 3 (08:06):
I don't want to hear it, Nicholas.

Speaker 1 (08:09):
Chicago's when I knew I had to get out of
this shit. If I stay, I'm gonna lose what's left
for me.

Speaker 4 (08:14):
Shut up.

Speaker 3 (08:16):
All you had to do was get on or back
to New York. Instead, you put her at risk. You failed, Nicholas.

Speaker 2 (08:25):
No, I'm sorry. So what happens now?

Speaker 3 (08:29):
It's like I told you gotta tie up some loose ends.

Speaker 2 (08:33):
Wait wait, I'm doing that.

Speaker 3 (08:35):
Fucked up and you'll be dealt with too. But he
knows too much now, Nicholas s marky stop.

Speaker 2 (08:41):
I can fix this.

Speaker 3 (08:42):
That's not good enough. I need to know exactly what
you're willing to do to make this right?

Speaker 2 (08:50):
What are you willing to do anything? I'll do anything.

Speaker 3 (08:54):
Not gonna cut it this time?

Speaker 2 (08:57):
Stop? Please, I'm sorry.

Speaker 3 (09:02):
What this is what happens when you don't follow waters? Nicholas?

Speaker 2 (09:07):
No?

Speaker 1 (09:08):
What?

Speaker 4 (09:09):
What? I fucking my good Nicholas?

Speaker 3 (09:13):
Necholas?

Speaker 7 (09:13):
No, here you go.

Speaker 2 (09:18):
The fuck back?

Speaker 3 (09:19):
Easy?

Speaker 2 (09:23):
What the gun down?

Speaker 3 (09:24):
Nicholas?

Speaker 2 (09:25):
Where you hit? I'm okay, I missed.

Speaker 3 (09:29):
Come on, man, you know what do you think you're doing?

Speaker 2 (09:34):
I said, stay where you are? Can you walk me?

Speaker 7 (09:38):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (09:38):
Yeah, I think so. I could get the funk out
of here and don't look back.

Speaker 3 (09:45):
You hear me?

Speaker 2 (09:45):
But how old about you? I'll be fine. I got
some ship to take care of. Yeah, I'm so sorry man,
I just I did go. I now we have finished this.

Speaker 3 (10:05):
What are you gonna do?

Speaker 9 (10:07):
Shoot me?

Speaker 3 (10:08):
You'll be dead within the hour. There are people who
will come looking for me if I go dark. I'm
not gonna shoot you, Marcus. I just needed to make
sure you didn't hurt an innocent man. Go ahead, take
the gun so noble, you could just as easily have
saved yourself. Why let him go instead?

Speaker 2 (10:29):
Because I know you're not about to let me off
this island alive. I don't think you ever were.

Speaker 3 (10:37):
Smart. Kid?

Speaker 1 (10:38):
Why bother lying by letting me have my freedom once
this job was over.

Speaker 3 (10:45):
You've been a good employee all these years, loyal, obedient.
I thought you deserved to be put down with some
hope in your heart? Whose men as a kindness?

Speaker 2 (10:56):
Kid? The crazy thing is.

Speaker 3 (11:00):
You actually believe that shit every word, Nicholas. Now where
is Anna?

Speaker 2 (11:09):
There's gonna be a memorial concert for her mother. She's
performing there.

Speaker 3 (11:14):
You know where this venue is?

Speaker 2 (11:16):
I do, then?

Speaker 3 (11:17):
What are you waiting for? Move?

Speaker 7 (11:55):
You'd take my breath away?

Speaker 8 (12:00):
Yes, sounds great, Miss Thompson. Oh thank you. I'm just
glad you can't hear my nerves and my voice.

Speaker 2 (12:09):
Not at all. We've got five minutes until places.

Speaker 4 (12:12):
Anything I can get.

Speaker 8 (12:13):
You another bottle of water would be great if you
don't mind. Of course you're gonna do great.

Speaker 7 (12:21):
I hope you're right.

Speaker 4 (12:29):
It's Nico. Go ahead.

Speaker 8 (12:31):
Hey, uh, it's me Anna. I don't know if you've
already got your phone turned off for the show or whatever,
but I just wanted to make sure you were okay.
I really hope to see you out there.

Speaker 5 (12:47):

Speaker 8 (12:48):
Okay, I I'll talk to you later. Bye, Come in,

Speaker 2 (13:04):
I don't worry.

Speaker 8 (13:06):
This won't take a long Hey, I know you we
met in town.

Speaker 5 (13:11):
That's right.

Speaker 3 (13:12):
I didn't get a chance to say, you're even prettier
in person than people.

Speaker 5 (13:15):
Let on, who are you?

Speaker 8 (13:16):
Have you been following me ever since?

Speaker 3 (13:20):
Of course? What did you really think you were just
gonna be able to run away from what you did?

Speaker 8 (13:25):
I don't know what you're talking about.

Speaker 2 (13:27):
Don't play dumb. It doesn't suit you. Stay the funck back.

Speaker 3 (13:33):
There's no need for threats.

Speaker 8 (13:35):
Anna.

Speaker 3 (13:36):
Hurting you is in part of my.

Speaker 9 (13:37):
Job description job?

Speaker 5 (14:19):
All right, is everything okay?

Speaker 7 (14:21):
You look pale, just nervous.

Speaker 5 (14:24):
It's totally normal.

Speaker 8 (14:25):
Just take some deep breaths, do whatever makes you feel
grounded and safe. Okay, yeah, thanks, I left the voice
memo for you.

I'm sure you won't need it, but if your nervous

but you were born to do this. Don't worry about
the crowd. Just pretend that I'm the only one out
there and I see you people. I'll bet her keep
it an eye on you, I'll bet he.

Speaker 2 (15:00):
Are you safe?

Speaker 3 (15:02):
You just focus on your breath.

A few days on the island and you're ready to
be a local again. Yes, I am kind of poetic.
Kit You may not have gotten to live here long,
but at least you get to die here.

Speaker 2 (15:59):
Too bad.

Speaker 1 (15:59):
You couldn't bring yourself to stay in New York and
let this island do your dirty words now?

Speaker 2 (16:05):
You just as fucked as I am.

Speaker 3 (16:06):
The hell are you talking about? Nicholas?

Speaker 1 (16:09):
You've told me to protect honor, and the only way
to do that is to make sure that you can't
get anywhere near her.

Speaker 7 (16:15):
Good evening, everyone, Thank you all for coming out to
say goodbye to one of our island's favorite daughters.
