(WHISPERING INDISTINCTLY)
It's okay. It's okay.
We're here now.
Oh, it's gonna be okay.
It's gonna be okay.
MIA: God, this place is beautiful.
-It's a miracle. -LUCAS: It's incredible.
MIA: Mmm. How is there soda here?
JENN: There was a family here a long time ago,
and they left a bunch of stuff.
-LUCAS: Mmm. -MIA: Mmm.
So, whenever you guys are ready...
we should get out of here.
Back on the raft?
It isn't safe here.
There's...
an animal...
Sweetheart, I'm sure there's a lot of animals.
It's a monster.
Okay, I saw it.
It crawled out of the ocean
and it walks on land,
and it drags its food back out to this...
There's a... There's a black hole out there.
Okay? Zack washed up.
He was already dead, and I saw it drag him out there.
Okay.
The family that I was telling you about...
Look at this.
-What is this? -Do you see that?
Th... Those are... Those are his eyes.
-It killed them. -How could you know that?
Because I found their graves.
They were buried here.
Then what happened to the person who dug the graves?
Now... Okay.
Well, there's clearly a current pulling things towards the island.
All right? We all washed up here.
I say we wait, we see if anyone else arrives.
Same. What if Brad shows up?
Brad's dead.
Brad's dead?
-Yeah. -Oh, fuck.
I'm sorry. I...
LUCAS: What happened to him?
Okay, I buried him.
I buried him deep into the ground,
and this creature came and dug him up.
What does this thing look like?
(STAMMERS) It's massive.
It has two sets of eyes, and it smells.
Look, I... I got it last night.
Okay? That's black blood.
(SNIFFLES)
Was he...
Was he in pain?
Mia, he knew that he wasn't alone.
He knew that I was there with him.
-(WAVES SPLASHING) -MIA: He used to love that sound.
I guess everyone does.
Don't think I'll be coming to the beach much after this.
You know, out on the raft,
for the first time in my life,
I thought I was gonna die.
I really thought that...
that that was it.
And... And it's funny because all I was thinking about
is how embarrassing it would be.
Everyone back home's just waiting for me to fail.
Out on the raft,
you don't hear waves.
You don't hear anything.
I'd rather die on the raft than this place.
You don't know what it's like out there.
So, we're gonna head west.
I saw a bunch of planes go that way.
I'm pretty sure they'll see us.
Okay, hey.
-I know this all sounds crazy. -Yeah.
I really need you to believe me.
LUCAS: I do.
It's just a lot to process, all right?
I mean, we just need a little bit of time, okay?
I'm gonna get more food.
We should bring as much as we can.
Can I borrow this?
Thanks.
Hey, make sure she gets ready.
Okay, there's enough for a week.
We gotta be smart with what we have.
All right, let's load up the raft.
Jenn. We're not leaving.
-What? -LUCAS: Not right now.
-Not in our condition. -We can't do it.
I understand that you're tired.
Guys, I'm tired, too. I'm exhausted, but...
We're not just tired. We're weak.
We've barely eaten.
-Just need to rest up, all right? -No, you don't rest here.
Jenn, you've been alone and you're scared,
and I get that.
But whatever you've been seeing, this animal...
-It's not an animal! I told you that! -MIA: Hey, okay, listen to me.
There's nothing for miles, Jenn.
Okay? I say we light a huge fire.
You said there are planes, right?
We'll light a fire and they'll see us.
(JENN SIGHS)
It's getting dark.
Get ready to leave.
Sweetheart, are you even listening to me?
We are not getting on that fucking raft!
(STAMMERS)
Just not tonight, all right?
We'll figure this out.
JENN: Okay.
Lucas.
LUCAS: Hey! Jenn!
Hey!
Stop it!
Stop! Jenn! Wait!
Hey! Stop!
-JENN: Get off me! -Calm down.
-JENN: Let go of me! I'm leaving! -Stop! Stop!
-(JENN SCREAMING) -Stop. Just stop.
JENN: No!
(MIA YELPS)
LUCAS: Hey!
Hey.
-JENN: I'm leaving! I don't care! -Calm down!
I don't care! No! Stop!
(GRUNTS)
(GASPS)
-(JENN WHIMPERS) -Hey.
Shh. It's okay.
Where is Lucas?
He's just taking a look around.
Don't worry, it's been dark for a few hours,
and we haven't seen anything.
You had to tie me up?
I think just for now.
I'm sorry. Really, I...
I shouldn't have hit you like that.
I just... I didn't know what else to do.
Mia, I don't care. Just...
untie me.
I think we've all been through something traumatic,
and we're all just trying to cope with it in our own different ways.
-I'm just as guilty. I am. -Guilty?
Who's guilty?
I didn't make this up.
I'm not lying to you.
Right. Like when you got mugged before we left.
Jenn, it's not that I don't believe you.
It's just that, over the years,
you've made it pretty hard for me to believe you.
(EXHALES) This is a little different.
I just want what's best for everyone.
I really don't need you to tell me what's best for me.
(MIA SCOFFS)
(BRANCH SNAPS)
LUCAS: I didn't see anything.
There's nothing out there.
'Cause it doesn't come from the trees.
I just want you to feel safe.
MIA: We're all just trying to figure this out.
Figure it out?
Yes, figure it out.
We need to get away from this place as soon as possible.
Do you want me to give you guys a second?
-Okay. -Thank you.
(FOOTSTEPS DEPARTING)
She's really sorry about what happened...
Yeah, she mentioned it.
Lucas, untie me.
Not until you promise me you'll relax.
You all right?
I just want to make sure that you're okay.
You're fine.
There's always a black cloud hanging over your head.
You know that, right?
This whole thing, Jenn.
It's so crazy.
I was having a great time all week. On a boat with my friends.
Weather was perfect.
Brought you on this incredible trip.
Everyone's having a great time,
except you, right?
And the night you come up to tell me
that you might not be happy,
that you maybe don't want to be in this...
storm clouds roll in.
How perfect is that?
No matter where you go, there's always a storm right behind you.
Lucas, you know I love you,
but this is not the time to talk about this.
Let me go.
So, what were you gonna do?
-What was your plan, exactly? -JENN: I told you.
-Head west. -LUCAS: No, I get that.
But you head west, you get found
and brought back home. And then what?
You've got no one else.
Where you gonna live?
You gonna go back to school?
And afford it how?
I pay for your life.
And you pay me back by taking the raft
and leaving me here to starve to death?
You don't starve here.
That's not what happens.
You get torn into pieces and dragged into a hole
in the middle of the ocean.
That's what happens here.
Mia thinks you're starting to sound a lot like Zack.
What happened to Zack?

There's nothing you could have done.
(SNIFFLES)
Give me a hand?
I'm gonna see if there's anything else we might need from the old campsite.
(PILLS RATTLING)
(EXHALES)
All right. Climb in.
(LUCAS GRUNTS)
LUCAS: Shit!

JENN: I'm writing this letter hoping it serves as some sort of proof.
A little more than a week ago, my boat went down in a storm,
and I've been surviving on this island since.
Zack and Brad from our group are both dead.
Brad washed ashore with me already injured and died shortly after.
Days later, Zack washed ashore, already dead.
I never knew their last names.
Shit.
Mia Reed and my boyfriend, Lucas Griffin,
arrived on a raft a few days after.
And they were both killed by a monster that lives just off this island.
And there's nothing I can do to prove that.
For a lot of my life, I've struggled with being believed.
The truth doesn't always come with a receipt.
Sometimes all we have is our word.
(GRUNTING)
There's no way for me to show you the things that I can tell you.
That there's a monster here taller than any man I've ever seen,
twice as fast in water as it is on land,
and it bleeds black blood.
For a week I've run from it and hid from it,
but not anymore.
If you find this note, what's left of my body
will either be on this island or deep in a hole off the west shore.
I hope this letter is enough for you to believe my story.

(ALL OVER AGAIN PLAYING)
I've been here before
Demons knockin' Knockin' at my door
Hangin' from a wire One step at a time
Losin' my mind
I'm in heaven
Everything has changed
Colors runnin' Meltin' into rain
Focus on the life Drippin' from the knife
Give me a sign
I'm in heaven
(VOCALIZING)
Careful what you wish for
And do it all over again
Ooh
Do it all over again
All over again
(BACKSEAT PLAYING)
(SINGER VOCALIZING)
Oh, all my life been a black sheep
All my life been the black keys
True, I never really was a bad breed
Daddy probably rather me an athlete
Man, that nigga move like a taxi
All my life in the backseat
You talk about life, is it that sweet?
All these eyes starin' at me
I've been feelin' real low, nigga Low-key
How a brave heart feelin' so weak?
Tattoos on my passport, no sleep
This is what you asked for, don't weep
Don't whinge, man I'm here and I won't leave
All I wanna do Make songs, blow trees
Wouldn't be honest with myself If I don't speak
So I make the point to address 'em, man You know me
Got me believin' in Buddha The more I proceed
Oh, this life isn't guaranteed
All my life felt a cold breeze In and out
We stayin' up and never down You hearin' me now?
Give me some time and a little space I'll figure it out
They wanna know my whereabouts And who I'm around
Been in Wonderland for a time Tryin' to find a way out
You can hear it my rhymes I be thinkin' aloud
I'mma be ghost for a minute Don't get in your feelings
I ain't even wrote for a minute Not a single lyric
Man, I got a life that is crazy Most cannot live it
See 'em tryin' to sabotage me Got me livid
All my life been a black sheep
All my life been the black keys
True, I never really was a bad breed
Daddy probably rather me an athlete
Man, that nigga move like a taxi, yo
All my life in the backseat, yo
You talk about life Is it that sweet, yo?
All these eyes starin' at me, yo
Oh, phone rings And I missed-called everyone
All I hear 'em sayin' is Look what you've become
This is what you signed up for You forget
This is what you get This is what you get
All these eyes in the front row
Hella pure souls in the front row
Remember seein' J. Cole I was in the front row
Couldn't move, was in awe If you must know
Still strugglin' to find Who I trust, though
All my life in the cut, though
All my life caught the bus home Through the north side
Then I got a pedal bike Mommy flipped when I got home
Like, "People get killed out here"
But, Mummy, I'm a rider and a fighter
Never been a dickhead in life Don't ever try me
Don't get it confused 'Cause I'm humble and I'm quiet
Loud niggas steppin' to Simz They get silenced
I ain't gotta say how But it don't involve violence
Though I got Gs that are ready And are here for it
But there's no need I just want peace
Take me higher, get an eighth From the supplier
Make your mind up What you mean, what you desire?
Niggas hatin', but it's cool, man It's a minor
I just do me and my own And I'm the driver
Twenty-three, feelin' older And I'm wiser
All my life been searchin' What I'd die for
Guess I am the one The people I'm-a fight for
Surely you should know who you rep Know who you ride for
All my life been a black sheep
All my life been the black keys
True, I never really was a bad breed
Daddy probably rather me an athlete
Man, that nigga move like a taxi, yo
All my life in the backseat, yo
You talk about life Is it that sweet, yo?
All these eyes starin' at me
Phone rings And I missed-called everyone
All I hear 'em sayin' is Look what you've become, yo
This is what you signed up for You forget, yo
This is what you get, yo This is what you get
