Season 2 Ep. 5, Part II: Who Killed Blackbeard?
On Saturday, September 22, 2018, a man woke up with the early morning sunlight, and turned to kiss his lover who was sleeping soundly in the bed beside him. The man got out of bed and hobbled to the bathroom to wash up for the day. He went to the kitchen and prepared the couple’s usual breakfast: toasted croissants with cream cheese and red caviar. He prepared their pour over coffee, and once the table was set he called to his significant other to come eat.
The two chatted, laughed, and talked about their plans for the day. This was how their mornings usually went; they would have breakfast then go about their business. Except today, was not like most days. Today the couple would be leaving for Iceland. Their condo was on the market and soon it would be sold. An offer was accepted—over asking. The two had both retired from their respective lines of work, had a substantial savings squirreled away with even more in foreign bank accounts, and they would finally be able to live the idyllic, beautiful life they always wanted. They had booked a flight for that day and had a cab scheduled to pick them up at noon. In just a few hours, their new life would begin in Keflavik, Iceland.
They were excited, it had been a rough year, but finally the two could just get away from it all, and enjoy each other and enjoy life.
Or so…they thought.
