When was the last time you tried to hurt yourself?
It's... um... a few months ago. So I don't know. I just...
Are the pills helping?
The new ones, yeah.
I can sleep at least, but I don't really think they're helping with the dreams.
What happened to you this week?
Nothing... I don't know.
Nothing? You got a summer job?
My parents told you.
Tell me about it.
I'm going to be a counselor at this camp where Lacey works.
It's like 4 and a half hours up north, but it looks really beautiful in the pictures.
- On a lake? - Yup.
What are you writing?
I think it's a bad idea.
Gillian, I think... look,
Like your parents too, I have concerns.
I'm fine.
Really, I think it would be really good for me, actually.
It'll be good.
You'll have a lot of fun as a camp counselor. You will have fun.
But being a counselor is a serious, full time responsibility.
You're not just a baby sitter.
Alright.
Kids will look up to you as a big brother or big sister.
Their lives are in your care.
And okay this summer we just have one new counselor joining us.
Let's try that again. Everybody, this is Gillian.
Hi.
And everybody knows about boat safety, right?
I call top bunk before you got here.
- That's not fair. - These are camp rules.
- Well, you'll learn them. - Thanks for helping me get this job, Lace.
No problems, I... like you said told them that you've been camping in Hawaii.
Awesome.
I'm really sighting out again.
Me too.
Welcome to the family.
Handbook, schedule, list of your campers.
- How is your tour guide? - The best.
- She said some good things about you. - Thanks for hiring me.
Find Terry in the lodge, get a T-shirt and shorts.
Tomorrow morning I'll take you over to the island for your "solo".
What's that?
Two nights camping by yourself on the island. Mandatory for all counselors.
It's really easy.
Parents like to know
that the kids watching their kids have some experience.
Sound good?
It's our nature preserve.
Yeah, there's no hunting, or fishing or anything.
It's just us, basically.
- I'm Marty. - Hi.
I have to take your picture before you go on the island.
Smile.
So, dad says that you've done a lot of camping?
- Fred is your dad? - Mm hm.
So, you're not worried about your solo? - No.
It happen there was this one counselor, Britney, about 3 or 4 summers ago.
Now she got so scared on the island, that she actually lit off a flare.
Of course, nobody saw it.
And the next morning, when dad went to go get her,
he found her treading water in the middle of the lake.
- What happened to her? - She didn't get the job.
- And now we all make fun of her. - No, I mean, why was she so scared?
Well, there is a legend of a ghost on the island.
But some people just get scared.
I'll see you.
And then you yell Kaya at the end, bet you'll learn it.
So tell me about the island.
- Well, surrounded by water... - That guy Marty said there's some legend.
You know we call him Martian and he's like his dad.
- So why do people get so scared? - Can you turn that off, please.
- I like to know things. - Okay, okay mercy.
So there's a story that like 30 years ago,
this counselor is one on the trip with the kids
and when they went to bed they were all there, accounted for.
And then when they woke up in the morning, this one little girl Janie was missing.
That's the legend?
And some people said Fred was a counselor when it happened,
and now obviously Janie haunts the island.
Hey, lights out, guys.
- Flashlight? - Yup.
- Food? - Yup.
No camera, no cellphone?
Not a lot left in her.
Your tasks.
Make a fire, make camp and so forth.
You'll need this.
Here in the bag is yours too.
That's just a precaution.
Who is that?
Good question.
Two nights, and then sun up, I'll be back to get you.
Right here. Drop that?
We got to get back for the campers,
I don't want to scour the island looking for you.
That path leads to clearing where you can pitch.
Need me to show you?
- I... - By all means.
Take the help.
Hold up, this will do.
Make 'em last, keep 'em dry.
And your food up, it's obvious, you know all this stuff. It's in the handbook.
Tell you something.
Yours in the last real solo here.
What do you mean?
I had to sell the land pass the stream to a developer. They break ground soon.
Won't be like this again.
Camps don't make a lot of money.
That's not why I do it.
I learned a lot about myself out here over the years.
Out in the woods.
- No! You stay here. - Alright.
Sorry.
I'll be back before you know it.
Luxury.
Gillian?
... Gillian.
- Fred. - Is that you?
Yes.
Did something happen?
Nothing... I was just...
God damn, the radio is for emergencies only. Is there an emergency?
No.
Get out if you can. Enjoy the nature.
PRIVATE PROPERTY NO TRESPASSING CAMP KAYA
He's harmless. Say hello to the girl, Bear.
Today seem okay.
Excuse me?
You called for help.
No.
I heard.
Wasn't me.
Look, we were just fishing up there.
Heard somebody yelled for help.
Sound like a girl.
Is there anybody else up here?
No, it's just me.
Hey, you're bleeding.
Oh! It's fine.
I got some bandages on the boat.
No, really it's fine.
You shouldn't leave it like that. How long you here for?
I'm... going back to camp today... soon.
- Oh, is there a camp nearby? - Yup, I'm the counselor, almost.
- You okay? Everything is okay? - Yeah.
I'll get out of your hair then. And get back to getting lost.
Nice meeting you.
Um, actually...
I probably could use some help.
Yeah? Come on. It's not far.
Watch your feet.
- It hurt? - Yeah, a little bit.
Be careful.
Bear.
There okay. Here we go.
- What's your name? - Gillian.
I'm Ray. Nice to meet you.
I thought there was no fishing on this lake.
What are you Lake Authority at your age?
- How old are you? - Seventeen.
Well, I wouldn't give to be a 17 again.
- Oh, I can do it. - Okay.
They make these things look damn hard.
Okay. Yeah!
Pretty bad.
- Sure you didn't hear nothing, huh? - No.
I must be going crazy.
Well, there is a ghost on the island, they say.
Yeah, who says? Kids?
Kids can be cruel.
You know uh...?
I'd be coming back here. I could get you a ride later.
Oh, I'll probably already be gone.
Alright.
Look.
I'd better go find the man's best friend. Bear!
Stupid dog.
Maybe found a ghost.
No.
Please don't wake up.
Wake up.
No. What are you doing?
Wake up.
I'm so sorry.
Sorry.
I can see you. You can come out.
Who the fuck is out there?
I'm radioing the police.
Hey, hey Gillian, it's just me. It's Marty.
Just chill out, okay?
What the fuck are you...? Why are you here?
Just to see you. I took a canoe.
Why?
I'm sorry.
Now look. It was a bad joke. Alright. A joke.
I didn't realise you'd scare so bad.
And please, don't radio the police.
You scattered my shit everywhere.
What? Scatter your shit?
No.
- You didn't untie my bag. - Nope, I didn't do that.
Maybe you just didn't tie it very well.
You're freaking yourself out because you're alone, I'd say.
You know what. Yesterday I found this doll,
you know, one of those classic creepy dolls.
Where is it?
It was in my tent last night.
Hey, I swear, do you want to check my bag?
Then where?
Was it Janie's doll?
- Alright, I should go. - No!
No, no no no, I not even supposed to be here anyway.
I'm actually getting kind of worried that you're going to light the flare.
Please, can you just stay? I'm not crazy.
I have a beer if you want one.
So Lacey told me the Janie's story is true.
That your dad was a counselor at the time?
Yeah he was. He was on the trip. Some of it is true, I guess.
- Let us not negotiate. - No, that is just you.
- So what actually happened then? - Well, he doesn't talk about it.
It's still a bit of a mystery, but...
I think they decided that she must have drowned or something.
Well, it definitely fucked him up.
Honestly, I'm surprised he didn't sell the island sooner.
Well, he was drunk one time...
After I've been bugging him and asking and kept asking,
he finally told me that Janie was a sleepwalker.
Yeah, she wasn't even suppose to come out on the trip...
but everybody felt bad, so my dad figured out how to rig up her tent,
so that it would stay shut, so that she wouldn't get out. So she could come.
But she still got out somehow. And after dad took over the camp,
that's when counselors had to do "solos".
It's here.
What's that?
Hey, is there anyone in there?
Marty.
Keep an eye out.
Look.
Whoever has kept this, was in mine last night.
- Come on, you should go. - I have to see this.
Gill... Gillian.
- Stay there. - What is it?
Marty, look at this.
What are you doing? Marty!
Let me see.
This is our camp.
This girl's in every photo.
Look, who it is.
- Hello, hello, Fred. - Whoa, whoa, wait.
- This is Gillian. - Hey, we don't know what this means.
Someone's on the island
- that shouldn't be here. - Stop!
Is that your tent?
Look, listen.
Why do the other counselors call you "Martian"?
- What? - Why do they call you Martian?
I heard what you said, and I don't know.
Cause you like watching girls...
- ...taking pictures. - No
Stay there. Stay there!
I think it's my dad's tent. Look!
He's the counselor on the right.
Fred says he likes spending time up here.
He is a drunk. He disappears sometimes.
He is messed up.
Oh my God, the doll.
- Now please keep this between us. - It's Janie's doll.
- You should come back to camp. - No, I'm not going anywhere with you.
- Gillian, you need to come with me. - No. No!
Gillian?
Who is that?
He stopped here yesterday. He... He was fishing.
What are you still doing here? What is going on?
Why are you on this island?
Gillian just came through on my radio.
Whoa, this is camp property.
Are you okay? Did he do something?
Hey, no.
Someone's staying here. We found this tent and all these photographs...
Do you any reason to... well, if you're in danger?
- He was in my tent last night. - Who was?
- You? - No, no. No no no.
We don't know.
Just saw somebody.
- Or at least I think it maybe. - Who?
Couldn't make it out through the trees.
Just a few minutes ago when I was coming in it's like down where the creek is.
That's where the tent is.
Okay, why don't you go back and I'll take a look?
No.
- I'll go with you. - No, wait, wait.
Now, I'll show you where the tent is.
Are you okay being alone?
- It's this way. - Alright.
Come on. Store.
You look familiar to me.
Oh yeah?
Well, that was close by.
Hear that?
Gillian!
- Your friend... - What happened?
We were going up to the stream and I was looking into the forest, and...
he hits me in the head with a fucking brick.
Oh my God.
- Where's Marty? - I don't know.
Who is this guy? Do you know him? Why is he doing this?
I don't know.
It could be someone else.
- You saw someone else? - Maybe.
All I know is we need to hurry. You got to get your stuff.
Hey, you go and get your stuff. I'll get you out of here.
Arrgh! Hurry up... please.
Let's go! Now!
Are you alright there?
Almost ready.
And bring those pictures you found.
Hello? Oh, thank God, you can?
Okay, how long?
- Someone's coming from the camp. - To take you back?
You're on your way?
Yeah, I don't know. Marty just went crazy
and he hit some stranger and now he's on the island somewhere...
Yeah, I'm scared.
Okay, I'll stay on the phone.
- Wait if you want but they won't be long. - I don't think I'll be leaving you here.
Yeah, I'm still here. Really, it's fine.
Alright.
As long as somebody is coming to get you right away,
I'll go put a bandage on this.
Yeah, thanks for your help.
Alright, be careful.
Help.
Help... Help me.
Marty. Oh my God, Marty.
Marty!
You'll be okay.
This island's big enough. If we just stay here he can't get us in the dark.
When the sun's up, Fred is going to come get us, and then we'll be fine okay?
We'll be fine. We just need to last the night...
Go away! Fuck off!
Sssh!
Shithead!
It's okay, it's okay.
You'll be fine, okay? You'll be fine.
Send help
Waiting to send
Marty?
We need help.
Fred... anybody...
Please...
There's a man here...
My friend is going to die.
Come in. Help us.
We need help.
Here.
Come here.
Sorry.
I'm sorry.
Wake up.
You know you talk in your sleep?
You had a bad dream last night.
I have bad dreams.
A lot of bad memories.
You wouldn't believe how many holes I've dug this summer.
Hey, I haven't done nothing.
Please, please just let us go. Please.
I want it too, okay? I want it too.
I did my best.
But I can't.
It's too late now.
Marty, wake up!
I know you were a counselor when that girl disappeared.
Is that what you dream about?
My sister drowned last summer. In our pool while I was babysitting her.
And my friends don't think I was paying attention.
Do you think they will need to be punished, but we don't?
Don't!
Gillian.
I dream about getting caught.
No, no no!
Suppose to get help from your dog, about a body, but poor guy disappearing.
You hold on.
Turn around.
Turn around!
Now walk.
To the water
No! Do it right to the water.
You wanted to swim.
Step in the water.
That's when you woke up.
What's going on?
What are you doing? Help me.
Help me!
Help!
No, please don't, no please, don't do this. Please.
No, please, please don't do this. You don't have to do this.
I can't stop until I find you.
You buried... You buried...
You can't remember where you buried her?
No, I can help... I can help you.
What did you do after you dragged me here?
I can help you... I can help you remember.
Yes, yes.
- I can help... - Why don't you try and go deal in the hole.
No! No!
Fred.
Fred, wait.
Fred! Fred!
Don't die on me now.
Gillian.
Gillian!
Gillian.
Help!
Gillian!
Who's that there?
Fred.
How long has it been? 25 years?
Ray?
It is... It's so good to see you, pal.
Where is Gillian?
Who is that?
She's a counselor. Staying here.
I haven't seen her.
- What are you doing here? - Oh, I came back to town.
- I mean, here. - Can't you tell?
I'm camping out.
I thought I'd come back and see this place one more time. Revisit my youth.
Before it's... dug up and ruined by somebody else.
Can't tell you how sorry I was when I heard that you sold the island.
This place is practically sacred.
- Yeah, lots of good times, huh? - Oh yeah.
The best. "Kaya".
Oh the best. Just the best.
Yeah... except... not always fun.
Help! Help!
Buddy, you got to let yourself go.
Let it go. It's not healthy... Let it go.
Help me, please... someone. Someone help me.
Gillian.
Kaya...
Help!
