SEASON 1, EPISODE 22
THE PIRATE'S PROMISE


The seaside village of Whaler's Point is filled with the colorful legends of Angus
McBride, an infamous pirate whose crew mutinied in 1720 and set him adrift to
perish at sea. Arriving in town to retrieve a cursed foghorn, Ryan and Micki are
regaled by the town drunk, Barney, who tells them stories of missing persons.
Although local historian Dewey Covington dismissed Barney's stories, he does
reveal that the foghorn was sold to the late keeper of the lighthouse. When
questioned, Joe Fenton, the new caretaker, claims he sold the foghorn to an old
man in a boat. When in reality, he knows exactly where it is because he has been
using it in a violent series of murders, all aimed at claiming a fortune lost at sea.
