Shit.

[GROWLING CONTINUES]
DETECTIVE: Mr. Myles?
Why don't you tell me
what happened
the week before that trip?
Mr. Myles?
You want her back,
don't you?
How long were you planning
that trip, Mr. Myles?
JOHN: Not long.
Just a few days.
DETECTIVE: So why all of a sudden?
JOHN: She wasn't well.
I thought a vacation would help
to get away from everything.
The stress.
DETECTIVE: Stress?
What kind of stress
was she under?
JOHN: She had a miscarriage.
[BALLAD]
JOHN: She really wanted
to have kids.
All her friends did.
And...
it was hard for me because...
we were not in a position
financially to... have 'em.
It seemed like she was
looking for something...
between us...
that was missing, and...
I was always busy
trying to deal with...
an investment that I made
on the gallery, and...
I didn't wanna bother her
with that.

[FLIES BUZZING]
The tide is really coming in.
We should head back.
Okay.
[BEEP]
[BEEP]
Are you kidding me?
Stupid phone.
It's supposed to work
everywhere.
That's why they call it
a satellite phone.
I'm sorry, what?
What did you say?
What?
Were you just making fun of me?
I was just saying something.
What was it?
This phone is not working.
Oh.
JOHN: There was just something
about this island
that didn't feel right.
I couldn't tell her
'cause I didn't wanna
freak her out.
She seemed... happy.
I didn't wanna take that
away from her.
Wake up, wake up
To the sound of warning
- Here you go.
- Oh!
Get up, get up
They're coming for you
Who do you think
Taste like ground lizard.
[CHUCKLES]
It's not bad.
- Yeah?
- Yes.
It's not bad.
This place is amazing,
isn't it?
Mm.
Yeah, it is.
So feel fine, feel fine
And don't freak out
Hey.
Yeah?
Do you know
what I love about you?
Tell me.
You...
are easy to get a smile from.
- Like this!
- Oh, fuck...
[THUD]
- Ugh! Goddamn it.
- I'm sorry, babe.
- I'm sorry.
- No, it's okay.
- Here, you can have mine.
- No, no, it's okay.
What's wrong?
Nothing.
[SIGHS]
I don't know where she wouldn't
have these moments where...
she'd just lash out at me.
[WOOD CREAKING]
Do you hear that?
Could be those sounds are
a Sasquatch or something.
[TWIG SNAPS]
Did you hear that?
- What?
- Shh.
[TWIG SNAPS]
Oh...
[LAUGHING]
- You're such a wuss!
- How dare you.
I wasn't scared.
Mm-hmm. Oh, yeah.
Big tough guy.
You're my big, strong man.
- Yes, I am.
- [LAUGHS]
You know what I love
about you?
- My good looks.
- Oh!
Oh, so sure of yourself!
Did you get that phone
to work?
No.
Still can't get a signal
on this island.
But it's a satellite phone.
It's supposed to work
everywhere, right?
Yup.
Maybe the satellite is
on the other side of the planet,
so we just have to wait for it
to come around.
Yeah, that's probably
all we have to do.
You... You are fucked up.
I am?
Yeah.
No.
[LAUGHS]
For the first time
in a long, long time,
we were spending time together
on our own.
It seemed like our relationship
was getting better.
We were happy together.
Not thinking about
anything else but each other.
He lives.
Come on, let's go.
What time is it?
Oh, gosh, it's like,
maybe 2:00.
What?
Oh, yeah.
You've been sleeping all day.
I didn't wanna wake you, but...
now I'd really like to get going
'cause we're gonna lose light.
Where we going again?
Up there.
[GULLS CAWING]
You okay, baby?
Uh...
- You wanna sit down?
- Huh?
- You wanna sit for a sec?
- Yeah.
Yeah, that's a good idea.
[SIGHS]
[GROANS]
Want some water?
You sure?
Yeah.
Oh, wow.
Wow.
Look at this.
This whole thing is just...
is just resting on this rock,
this one little rock.
Isn't that amazing?
It's so powerful,
so powerful.
Come on.
I don't think I'm gonna
make it to the top.
Well, maybe you should have
another cigarette.
You know what?
Maybe I will.
Okay, well, maybe I'll see you
at the top then.
DETECTIVE: Did you try
to get her some help?
JOHN: I asked her to.
But she didn't wanna.
She said there's
nothing wrong with her.
And when I asked her again...
she got very mad at me.
I don't know
why she was so unhappy.
Maybe it was just me.
She wasn't always like that.
Baby...
I'm sorry. I'm tired.

[SCREAMING]
Ah!
Fuck.
Oh!
Oh! Oh!
[GRUNTS]
Ah, oh!
- This isn't fun at all!
- Aw, come on.
There's a big surprise
on the other side.
Trust me. It's worth it.
[LAUGHING]
Oh, my God.
That was so perfect.
[LAUGHING]
Okay, so you think
this is funny, huh?
Yeah, actually.
Don't!
- [LAUGHS]
- John, don't.
Don't.
John, don't.
You're still laughing.
- I'm not.
- You're still laughing.
John, stop it!
- You stop it.
- No.
Stop.
[SPLAT]
[LAUGHING]
Baby, I'm sorry.
[STRAINING, LAUGHING]
Come on! Eat it!
Come on!
[LAUGHING]
[JOHN LAUGHING]
Whoo!
Whoo! Oh!
- [LAUGHING]
- [SPLASHING]
Whoo!
Come on!
What?
What is it?
Hey!
[GUNSHOT]
I thought you got rid of
that thing when I asked you to.
I did.
You did not.
Just brought it
for extra precautions, okay?
You're right. I'm sorry
I didn't get rid of the gun
when you asked me to.
Why do you always lie to me?
Oh, I'm sorry.
Is this funny to you?
- [HONK]
- Jesus!
What's this for, huh?
What the hell
is wrong with you?
Why are you so angry
all the time?
You don't have
any respect for me, do you?
Amy, come on!
[BEEPING]
- Hello?
- Boater.
Hey, you're alive!
How's it going over there?
Not so good.
[CHUCKLES]
Surprise, surprise.
When is it ever good
with you, buddy?
Fuck off.
What's going on now?
Worried she's gonna find out
what we're up to.
She's already mad at me
'cause I brought the gun.
Oh.
That's not good.
You got a big problem then.
You're not much of a friend.
I just work for you, remember?
You don't pay me
to sympathize with you.
So what's the plan then?
I don't know yet.
I'll let you know later.
So why'd you call?
Miss me?
Stop joking around, man.
All right. I apologize.
I wanna make sure you don't call
'cause I had to lie to her
that this phone has no signal.
Oh. Why would you say that?
It's my only excuse
to get away,
to try and get a signal
to make a call.
Do I really have
to spell this out?
All right, just let me know.
Everything will be ready.
You know what I think,
Mr. Myles?
You didn't really go
to that island
to spend time with your wife.
So why don't you just
be honest with me
and tell me
why you took her there.
The gallery
wasn't doing too good.
I was gonna close it down.
But then I got
this phone call...
about this old native plaque.
WOMAN: We're calling
to inform you, sir,
that we have not received
rental payment for your gallery
for over 60 days.
Your current
outstanding balance
must be paid
within five business days.
Sir?
Okay. I'll look into it.
Thank you.
Have a seat.
Thank you.
[SPEAKING FOREIGN LANGUAGE]
He wants to know
if you like them.
Yes. They're beautiful.
[SPEAKING FOREIGN LANGUAGE]
He's saying that this collection
brings him good luck,
but to their people,
it can be quite the opposite,
and he wants to know
if you know why.
I'm not exactly sure.
[SPEAKING FOREIGN LANGUAGE]
Because they believe
as they're told.
I see.
[SPEAKING FOREIGN LANGUAGE]
[SPEAKING FOREIGN LANGUAGE]
"Cursed Shrine?"
Have I heard of
The Cursed Shrine? Yes.
Do you believe?
I'm not familiar
with its history.
[SPEAKING FOREIGN LANGUAGE]
I found out
that it was placed there
to commemorate
a small tragic event.
That's why the locals
are afraid
to set foot on that island.
They believe that there's
something protecting it.
I felt it.
But somehow...
it seemed to draw her in.
She seemed to be
so curious about it.
Like a siren.
I wasn't afraid
of the creature.
They were just tales.
She seemed to be
in a different world.
But it was scaring me.
It was beyond her grief.
It was something...
something else.
Amy!
Amy.
Amy?
Hey.
Wake up. Wake up, Amy.
Amy.
Wake up, Amy.
Yes.
Wake up.
Are you hurt?
Amy?
How's your head, baby?
Can you move?
Come on.
Slowly, slowly, slowly.
Slowly.
Watch your head.
Watch your head.
Are you okay, baby?
Hey. Hey.
What's wrong?
Hey, hey, hey.
Ah!
Are you okay?
Let's go back tomorrow
to get this treated in town.
Why?
These cuts
are pretty deep, babe.
They might get infected.
It's not that deep.
It's just a scratch.
From what?
I don't know.
What do you mean,
you don't know?
I don't...
I can't remember.
- You don't remember?
- Mm.
Why?
I don't know.
You blacked out?
No.
I don't know.
I don't remember.
Hey.
Are you okay?
Yeah.
Yeah, you are.
Let's just change
the bandage tomorrow.
I'm sure it'll be fine.

[STARTER FAILING]

[LINE RINGING]
[RINGING]
Yeah.
Hey, it's me.
Boater, phone.
- What?
- Phone!
- Who is it?
- Take it.
- Bring it to me.
- Take it.
Hello?
It's me.
My fucking boat doesn't start,
so I need you
to come and pick us up.
What do you mean?
Did you check the gas?
Yeah, man,
I checked, I checked.
It doesn't start.
Can you come pick us up?
Dude, that's gonna take all day.
From the moment
I took that plaque,
I felt something had woken up.
Something... evil.
[PANTING]
The island went silent.
I could hear everything.
It felt like there was
something lurking behind me.
[WOOD CREAKING]
[TREE FALLS]
Following me.
Watching me.

[CREAKING, RUSTLING]
[CREAKING, RUSTLING]
[TWIG SNAPS]
Amy?
Have you been standing there
for long?
I didn't see you.
Our boat wouldn't...
didn't work, so I called
my assistant to come pick us up.
I got the phone to finally work.
Excellent.
Listen,
we're gonna have
to head back home.
Why?
Uh...
'cause you're hurt.
[SCOFFS]
No, I'm not.
Okay, babe...
our boat doesn't work,
and...
Your assistant can just
bring us another one, right?
Our vacation's
just getting started.
That thing that the locals
fear it for
started to get in my head.
How about this, hmm?
I'm gonna look around
for a sec.
I'll be right back.
Okay.
Hello?
Who's there?
Oh, don't be afraid.
I'm not gonna hurt you.
Oh, it's okay. Shh...
Shh...
Amy!
Amy!
Amy!
[PANTING]
No, no.
Amy!
Where are you?
[RUSTLING]
[RUSTLING]
Amy?
Amy.
Amy, wait!
Amy!
[FOOTSTEPS]
[FOOTSTEPS]
[SCREAMS]
[GROANS]
You lied to me.
[PANTING]
You told me you brought me here
so we could spend time together.
Baby, I'm sorry.
I really messed up, okay?
I called my assistant because
our boat wouldn't start,
and I asked him...
I asked him to...
Listen to me.
He's dead, okay?
He's dead because of me.
I don't know what happened.
Something must have
attacked him.
But we have to get out of here.
He deserved it.
You don't mean that.
How come I'm the last person
you care about, huh?
Amy, I care about you.
This is why
I didn't want you to know.
There's something
very wrong here.
I don't know what it is.
And we need to
get out of this island.
We need to get
your arm treated.
Let's just go.
I can see it in your eyes.
We're not working out.
Don't say that.
Baby, you're not making...
You're gonna leave me.
You're gonna leave me
when we get back.
Amy, come on.
[GROANS]
This is gonna be
hard to believe.
I know it's gonna sound crazy.
[GRUNTING, HOWLING]
She turned into this thing.
I know it's real.
I know it.

Mr. Myles.
You were the last one
to be with your wife,
and now she's missing.
Show me in this map...
where you last saw her.
Do you wanna go home
I'm not sure why you've come
Do you dream
All night long
Just to get on back
To where you've come from
When you're tongue-tied
Don't fit in at all
Keep searching
Keep searching
The lights on the bay
The fog's in the stream
We've talked to
Everyone, it seemed
When the Mounties come
Where will I be
When you wander
What do you see
Keep searching
Keep searching
Oh
Oh
Nothing's so wrong
You can't come to me
I've missed you
Obviously
Nothing's so strong
You can't come clean
The night's long
Crossed stars on the sea
Keep searching
Keep searching
Keep searching
Keep searching
Keep searching
