00:00:03.350 --> 00:00:05.070
If the signal has found you,

2
00:00:05.850 --> 00:00:07.890
you are right where you belong.

3
00:00:08.710 --> 00:00:10.730
Welcome to Stories Through the
Static.

4
00:00:10.730 --> 00:00:14.170
104.7… The Between.

5
00:00:14.990 --> 00:00:17.530
Tonight: The Bayou Remembers.

6
00:00:17.530 --> 00:00:20.250
Chapter One: Before Daylight.

7
00:00:21.700 --> 00:00:26.920
She came before daylight, with
three boats and a buyer for cargo
she hadn't stolen yet.

8
00:00:27.460 --> 00:00:28.930
The flour was for the kitchens.

9
00:00:28.940 --> 00:00:30.800
The cloth would pay the crew.

10
00:00:31.440 --> 00:00:34.160
The coffee, she insisted, was
essential.

11
00:00:34.800 --> 00:00:35.980
I knew my girl.

12
00:00:38.380 --> 00:00:39.680
Light on his face.

13
00:00:39.680 --> 00:00:42.040
Darkness everywhere he needed to
see.

14
00:00:43.350 --> 00:00:44.610
Mind your passage.

15
00:00:45.650 --> 00:00:46.010
What?

16
00:00:46.750 --> 00:00:49.990
The water's falling. You'll want
somebody who knows the way.

17
00:00:50.610 --> 00:00:51.150
How much?

18
00:00:52.020 --> 00:00:53.560
Well. He had asked.

19
00:00:55.370 --> 00:00:56.530
You said you knew the way.

20
00:00:57.590 --> 00:00:58.110
I do.

21
00:01:10.503 --> 00:01:11.123
It's essential.

22
00:01:12.567 --> 00:01:13.567
You've done this before.

23
00:01:14.447 --> 00:01:16.307
You're taking it remarkably well.

24
00:01:17.487 --> 00:01:19.247
I'm trying to remember your face.

25
00:01:20.207 --> 00:01:21.087
Oh, you will.

26
00:01:23.213 --> 00:01:26.073
While she enjoyed herself, the
water kept falling.

27
00:01:29.333 --> 00:01:31.183
She knew the turn they had to make.

28
00:01:31.183 --> 00:01:33.353
She knew the shallow place beyond
it.

29
00:01:33.353 --> 00:01:35.733
Still, she reached for the cloth.

30
00:01:37.043 --> 00:01:40.543
I touched the hull, and she felt it
in the rail beneath her hand.

31
00:01:41.023 --> 00:01:41.583
Broussard.

32
00:01:42.183 --> 00:01:43.743
That boat has to get home.

33
00:01:44.393 --> 00:01:45.193
I know.

34
00:01:45.413 --> 00:01:48.573
Lâche ça. We're away.

35
00:01:49.187 --> 00:01:52.347
Oh, so even you have a limit to
what you can take?

36
00:01:53.657 --> 00:01:58.117
For one moment, I thought she might
climb back aboard simply to have
the last word.

37
00:01:58.637 --> 00:02:00.557
Instead, she pushed them clear.

38
00:02:01.097 --> 00:02:02.157
I was proud of that.

39
00:02:02.577 --> 00:02:03.737
I did not mention it.

40
00:02:04.253 --> 00:02:07.853
The passage out was narrow enough
that the branches brushed their
shoulders.

41
00:02:08.613 --> 00:02:10.133
Rémy took the difficult turn.

42
00:02:10.653 --> 00:02:14.973
Broussard shifted the load when he
asked, then leaned into the work
beside him.

43
00:02:15.393 --> 00:02:18.533
The hull whispered, then began to
drag over mud.

44
00:02:18.953 --> 00:02:20.093
Everyone felt it.

45
00:02:20.473 --> 00:02:25.373
For several breaths, there was only
the scrape of poles, the soft knock
of wood,

46
00:02:25.713 --> 00:02:29.033
and the sound of people putting all
their strength into a thing.

47
00:02:29.493 --> 00:02:30.993
Then the boat moved freely.

48
00:02:31.823 --> 00:02:32.763
Nobody cheered.

49
00:02:33.223 --> 00:02:34.823
They still had flour to keep dry.

50
00:02:39.100 --> 00:02:43.040
Farther out, salt water moved
against the hull of a particular
ship.

51
00:02:47.100 --> 00:02:49.340
Be kind to yourselves and each
other out there.

52
00:02:50.000 --> 00:02:52.160
You've been listening to Stories
Through the Static.

53
00:02:52.850 --> 00:02:55.560
104.7… The Between.
