Ward climbs up the ladder with a fishing hook, "Get back, JC. Get back! Get away from the throttle!"
"Okay! Okay!" Jordyn puts her hands up terrified.
Ward keeps swinging the hook"Stay back! We're not going anywhere till you listen!"
"Okay! Okay! Relax!" Jordyn yells.
"You understand? Just stop! It wasn't my fault! It was your father, okay? It was your father that tried to change..." Ward points his finger at the girl.
Jordyn goes after the man, "You piece of shit!" The two getting into a battle of tug of war between the hook. Ward getting the upper hand by head butting and pushing JC over the edge.
Jordyn gets up and hobbles over to the radio speaking into it, "Mayday. Mayday."
"Repeat?" Some man responds.
"This is the..." Jordyn starts to say but all she hears is static, "God."
Jordyn tries again, "Hello? If anybody's hearing this, this is the My Druthers! Mayday. Mayday. Mayday. Can anybody hear me? Mayday, mayday, mayday! Oh, my God. Mayday. Mayday. Mayday. This is the My Druthers, call time..."
Jordyn gets pushes out the way by Ward who tries to swing the hook down on the girl but misses. Jordyn goes up to man and grabs him but gets a knee to the lower region. Then when down Ward swings the hook down on the girl. He tries to swipe her again but she quickly gets up. He catches the hook on her cast and she throws a punch at the man.
Jordyn heads into the lounge and grabs a spear gun pointing it at the man, "Stay right there! Don't move! Don't move! I swear I'll kill you, Ward."
"Do it. Do it, JC. I know you want to." Ward challenges.
Jordyn looks at him, "Fuck, shut up."
"But then... you'd have my body to deal with. Believe me, it's more complicated than it seems. But hey, if you..."
Ward throws something at the girl knocking her aim off course and Ward throws himself at the girl once again. She knocks him down with a punch.
Jordyn runs down the stairs and into a room locking it. she sees an opening and climbs out of it. She goes down to see a jet ski, she grabs the remotes and moves it so it's over the water. She notices Ward and quickly hops on the jet ski. She swipes the ropes off right as Ward shows a spear at her. She races off on the jet ski with Ward following her in the Druthers. Jordyn is quickly able to create distance between them though.
"Oh, shit." Jordyn curses once the jet ski just stops in the Marsh. She dives off and swims to the closest dock, Lana Grubbs.
Jordyn looks at the woman and sniffles, "I need to know."
"The night your father disappeared... I came home early from work to find Scooter talking to Ward..." Lana explains the story to the girl.
Jordyn looks at the woman angrily, "So, he stole my father's map... then he tossed his body into the sea?"
"He sunk your father's boat where no one would ever find it. And they began to look for the gold every day for nine months. When Agatha built up, there was only one place they hadn't looked. So Ward sent my husband out into that storm. I begged him not to go, but he said that Ward was worried the storm would wash everything away. But Scooter did find somethin' out there. Not what he expected. He wasn't dead when Ward dumped him. He made it to shore. And the last thing he ever did... was for you and your brother. I am so sorry, JC. I should have told you a long time ago. But you can't say anything. He's dangerous. He's capable of anything. Don't..." Lana begs the girl who's walking out the door.
