I've got it, Aunt Connie.
- Hello? - Andy.
It's me. I need you to chill out and listen to me, okay?
- Okay. - Where did you find the brush?
On the beach. Down by the big rock.
Andy, I don't want you to pick up anything else from the beach...
... unless I'm with you. Understand?
- Why? - Andy.
Jeez. Okay, I promise. Bye.
Bye.
What'd your mother want, Andy?
Oh, nothing.
Can I go down to the beach?
Well, just be back before dark, dear.
I will.
Father Malone?
Father?
Father Malone?
Elizabeth.
I'm sorry. I didn't mean to interrupt you.
Oh, no, no. It's... It's all right.
- What happened? - I don't know.
What do the words mean?
It's a phrase from the Bible. It's...
It's the writing on the wall.
What have you got there?
I was wondering if you could help me.
It has your family name in it.
My grandfather told me about this.
Where'd you get it?
In the boathouse, hidden in the wall.
The boathouse? Which one?
- Nick's. - Nick Castle.
Of course.
I'm sorry, Elizabeth, I really can't help you.
Something's happening, isn't it, Father?
I'm very busy right now. Maybe you should come back another time.
- What's happening, Father? - Look, you should get off the island.
- What? - I said, go.
Found this on the Seagrass.
They figure it's the knife that killed Sean.
But that's... That's my knife.
Nick.
Elizabeth, what happened?
Can we talk outside?
No. It's not a good time.
- It's important. - I can't.
I can't right now. Spooner's really in trouble.
Just give me a minute.
Blood for blood.
Elizabeth.
What the hell's going on here?
What happened? Are you okay?
Thanks.
Here. Drink this. It'll help you relax.
I don't wanna relax.
You don't believe me, do you?
Elizabeth, three people were just found dead on my boat...
...my business is shot, and Malone's trying to nail Spooner for murder.
- What do you want me to do? - You think I would make all this up?
I didn't say that.
It's not just me, Nick.
Father Malone's leaving. And Spooner wasn't lying.
He didn't touch Sean. I saw it on the tape.
Where is the tape? Let me see it.
- I lost it. - You what?
I know. It fell in the water.
When you were drowning?
I know how this sounds, okay?
Yeah, it's a really good thing you found this.
Nick, ever since I came home, horrible things have been happening.
The answers are in here somehow. Just...
Just look at it.
It describes my dream, Nick.
All of it.
One of the founding fathers wrote it. Patrick Malone.
"'May God forgive my soul.'
I say these words, but in my heart I wonder...
...can God forgive any man for a sin as great as the one I'm about to commit?"
Let me see. Let me see this.
"I tell myself this is the only means by which our family can survive...
...the conditions on this beleaguered island.
But it does not soothe the horror I feel for being an accomplice."
Accomplice to what?
- What is it? - These photographs.
The dates.
1867, '69.
Just shacks, huts, cabins.
Then 1871.
A town springs up.
Look at these. It's the same thing here.
Look how much everything's grown.
Something definitely happened in 1871.
Same date as the journal.
What turned it all around?
Malone.
Williams.
Castle.
Wayne.
Are we resolved to protect this island?
Aye.
I was outside the door, like you said.
Must've gone out the window.
You think?
Oh, my.
Hi, Dan. So, what is it this time?
A swarm of locusts? A tornado maybe?
Nope. Just fog.
You're kidding, right?
No. It swallowed us up out here at the station a couple of minutes ago.
It's moving your way. It's kind of cool, actually.
Hang on a sec.
Oh, man. All the lights just went out.
- Everything's dead. - Everything but your computer, right?
- Batteries. - Lucky me.
- Dan, where'd you go? - That's great.
Dan?
Dan? What is that? What's happening?
- Someone's at the door. - Dan...
...listen to me. Don't open the door.
I'm just gonna check this out. Hang on a second, sweetheart.
Yeah, just give me a second here, all right?
Dan, don't open the door.
Don't worry about me, darling.
Big Dan's got everything under control.
Dan?
Dan, is everything all right?
Dan?
This some kind of joke?
That's weird.
Dan?
- Chris? - "Shorts" for 2000.
Andy?
Please pick up. Please pick up. Please pick up.
- Inez? - What is Borneo?
Hello?
Hello? Hello?
And all of us living here today owe a debt of gratitude...
...to these four brave men...
...who struggled and withstood and sacrificed...
...in order that this island might grow and prosper into what it is today.
Oh, God, Andy.
Maybe we should close all the windows.
You better check your bedroom. I'll go check your mother's.
It wants us.
This is really weird. I'll go get the truck.
I think it's just a power outage. I'm sure it's temporary.
I think it's best that everybody just go home.
I don't think it's anything to worry about.
All right. You heard the mayor. Let's call it a night.
This is an emergency.
There's been a fire at the weather station.
Dan has been killed. If anybody can hear me, please check on my son.
The phone lines are down. Please check on my son.
There is something in the fog.
Please. I cannot reach him. He's at 887 White Beach Road.
Mommy's coming, Andy. Mommy's coming.
Elizabeth, get in. Stevie's son's in trouble. We gotta go.
I heard her on the radio. Come on.
"April 10th. Met with Blake tonight for the first time.
He stood in the shadows to prevent me from seeing his face."
- Who's Blake? - I don't know.
Nick, listen to this.
"Blake's proposition is simple.
He wishes to purchase half of the island as a new home for his people.
He and his followers are traveling down the coast...
...in a clipper ship called the Elizabeth Dane."
Spooner said he saw a clipper ship last night in the fog.
Nick, watch out!
God.
Come on.
Damn it.
Come on.
Oh, come on.
We're not gonna make it.
It's coming up the coast. We're going the back way.
Elizabeth, turn the truck around. Keep it running.
Come on. Andy, get out of there.
Get out of there. Come on. Grab my hand. Come on, run.
Let's go get in the truck. Go on, get in the truck.
We gotta get out of here. Go, go, go.
Let's go. Elizabeth, let's go.
Come on. Put it in gear, we gotta get out of here.
- Shit. - Go. Come on!
It's stuck.
- Go. - What the hell is that?
Come on, I don't know.
You trade with me.
Slide over.
Nick. Nick, look out!
Where are we going?
To the lighthouse, to your mom. Then we're getting off this island.
We have to go to the town hall to get my mother. She was just there.
Try the Marina Loop. Maybe we'll make it through.
I ain't sticking around here, waiting to get killed.
I'm the hell off this island.
All packed up, huh?
I don't think the ferry's running tonight.
You been drinking?
It means, "You've been weighed in the balance and found wanting."
I'll take that as a yes.
I need a drink myself.
I figure one of these keys goes to one of these boats.
We could...
Oh, my God.
Come on. Come on.
It's too thick. I can't see through this.
Our journey's over.
We are almost home.
The contract, Mr. Malone.
A new home.
Where's the rest?
We've come for all of it, Mr. Blake.
You give us everything, and you escape here with your wretched lives.
That's not the deal we made, Mr. Malone.
Well, that matters little now, Mr. Blake.
Elizabeth?
Nick?
Elizabeth?
- Elizabeth? - Nick?
Where are you?
Stay there. I can see you.
Elizabeth.
I'm sorry. I don't know what it is.
- Elizabeth. - Nick.
Oh, man. You all right?
You okay?
- Hey, come on. We gotta go. - I can't leave without my dogs, Nick.
They'll be fine. We'll come back tomorrow.
Look at me, Nick.
Those dogs are all I got.
Billy.
There's people over there.
Brutus.
We gotta go. Come on.
What was that?
Andy.
Thank God you're okay.
I tried to reach you, but I crashed my car.
Thank God.
We gotta go. Come on, let's go.
- Come on. - Come on.
Inside. Hurry up.
You miserable bastards.
Help us! Please!
Blood for blood.
Elizabeth?
Elizabeth.
Come on.
You make a decision.
Elizabeth, are you okay?
Hello, is anybody in there?
- Spooner? - Yeah, come on. Open the door, man.
- Come on. - It's crazy out there, man.
- Hell is going on? - We gotta lock this place down.
Windows, doors, everything. Spooner, help me out. Come on.
So now you know.
That our forefathers murdered every man, woman and child...
...on the Elizabeth Dane?
And this town was built on nothing but lies?
And now they've come for their revenge.
They're everywhere.
The land that Blake paid for...
...where is it?
We're on it.
The whole town was built on it.
The sins of the fathers are visited on the heads of the children.
- The hell are you talking about? - The ramblings of a dying old man.
My grandfather knew the truth about his ancestors.
My father was a madman.
We're the children of murderers. All of us.
Wayne, Castle, Williams, Malone.
But we haven't done anything.
Yeah, keep my father out of this. We from Chicago.
It's time to put an end to this, once and for all.
No!
No. Come on.
No!
Malone.
Elizabeth.
Elizabeth. Elizabeth, wait.
Please. I've done nothing to deserve this.
That matters little now.
Please.
The contract.
Let's go.
Elizabeth?
No. Elizabeth.
Elizabeth?
I don't think any of us can say exactly what happened last night.
But if this...
...has been anything more than just a nightmare...
... then why?
Did it come back for revenge...
... or justice?
Or maybe to claim something lost long, long ago.
Maybe we'll never know.
But one thing's for sure...
... something did come back from the sea.
Sooner or later, everything does.
