Anatomy of the Tide (2013) Movie Script
Holy shit! Did you see that?!
William Tell can kiss my ass!
Do we look stupid, Kyle?
You were aiming
at the other one.
Like hell, Donny.
You're just jealous.
Yeah, right. Jealous of what?
This!
You would trade every muscle
you got for two of these cells.
Jeez, guys. Chill out.
Shut up, Trent!
This is between
Einstein and myself.
Look, you can say all you want,
but I got something
you can only dream of.
What?
A promising career
in moving furniture?
Balls, okay?! I got balls!
Take that one to the bank.
I guess you're right.
Too easy.
It's time to put
you to the test.
Look up at the ceiling.
Holy shit, dude! That thing's
the size of a fucking blimp.
You see all those magazines
scattered on the floor?
There's a centerfold
inside every single one.
Holy crap.
That's right, but we're never going to get our hands
on them with that thing looming over us, will we?
Here's your chance, big man.
You ready to take it out?
Donny, I'm allergic.
- Pussy.
- Fine, fine!
- No, come...
- Alright, I'll do it!
Dude, are you crazy, Kyle?!
- Donny, one sting...
- Shut up, Trent!
How do I do this?
Stick it in there and cover it
before they can react.
It's a cinch. They do it all
the time in kindergarten.
It's called Hot Potato.
Yeah, okay, and they
do it in Afghanistan, too.
I'm pretty sure it's
called defusing an IED!
Simon says, do it, Kyle.
- Now!
- Just give me a second!
Trent!
Oh, my God.
I swear to God, I'd show her
what real beefcake is about. Ahh!
You probably wouldn't even
know how to get her bra off, Trent.
I actually, I do,
because I've been practicing.
What the fuck?
Just take one of my mom's bras
and use it on one of my pillows.
What does that even mean?
I plead the Fifth?
What?!
Uh, Trent, that's sick.
Jesus!
Oh, sick!
Either of you numb nuts happen
to check the dates on these things?
Uh, 1971?
Miss June probably gave
birth to fucking Moses!
She's probably in some
assisted living facility!
No. You think, man?
Yeah.
Two words, Trent...
denture cream and absorbent underwear
that's soaking up all that dusty shit.
Oh, dude! Come on, man!
Why do you got to put
that image in my head?!
Where the hell you think
you're going without us?
The ferry.
Guys, it's the first Friday
of the summer.
- You know what that means.
- Summer girls.
Dude.
Where's Donny?!
Suck.
Where's Donny, man?
Are you saying that we
actually beat him here, for once?
I don't see him.
- Do you?
- No.
What took you guys so long?
Are you... are you kidding me?
How did you get here so fast?
Amphibious route.
The cliffs?!
That's so stupid, man!
It's not worth your life.
I got a reputation to maintain.
Ah!
Those bastards.
Damn seagulls.
One of these days, I swear to God,
I'm going to take a crate of d-CON...
Dude, it won't matter
what you do.
The seagulls will
always be here.
You boys know where
we can find Osprey Point?
Yeah, definitely, man.
I definitely know where that is,
so, if you move over, I'll...
You're Curtis Holman, from
Avix Pharmaceuticals, right.
And how in tarnation
would you know that?
He knows a lot more
than you think he does.
Is that so?
I tell you what, tough guy.
If your bright friend here can guess
the current stock price of our company,
then maybe I'll let you guys take
this out for a hell ride of your own.
Really?
Fifty-one.
Down from 72 in May,
before your PE ratio sank like the Titanic.
Curtis, you just
got gutted, man.
We're holding up traffic.
- Are you serious?
- Another time?
Are, are you kidding?
Come on, seriously?
That is bullshit!
Get back here, man!
- What a jackass.
- You guys,
forget about the damn car!
Who the hell is that?
That's Bridgett Harriman.
Her old man just bought
that place up at Tidal Point.
God, she's incredible.
- I think that...
- Donny, don't.
Man, she's 21.
She's a junior at Yale.
She just blew off the governor's son
when he asked her out on a date.
Jesus H. Christ.
What do I do?
Carjack 'em?
Exactly.
Are you serious?
Should we know you, son?
I'm Donny.
It's nice to meet you.
Did he actually
just take my advice?
Yeah.
So, did you say one of these
houses up here is yours?
Yeah, the big one on the right.
There's a lot of big
ones on the right.
The third big one on the right.
Alright.
Here you go.
I didn't catch your name.
Bridgett.
I know this crazy place
to swim on the island.
It'll blow your mind.
Not this summer.
Her boyfriend's planning a visit when
he ties up things at the Naval Academy.
They're going to be
quite busy from then on.
But, hey, maybe you and
he can, you know, meet.
What are you, her official
spokesman, or something?
Aren't there plenty of local girls around
here, Donny, that can hold your interest?
It's a narrow gene pool, sir.
Everyone I date turns out
to be my cousin.
Nice to meet you.
See you around.
Bye.
Hey! My mug!
- Voil.
- Thank you.
You know, you could take
a hot tub in that thing.
I just might.
Do you want the good news
or the bad news?
Both, but not
exactly in that order.
The Jenkins star
witness has backed out.
Well, the parents don't want to put
the kid through it anymore.
Well, then we're
clean out of witnesses.
Well, that's where the
good news comes in.
I've discovered a
lost congregation.
A what?
One of Jenkins'
past congregations,
one we didn't know about...
seven years ago, out on
an island called Cliffhaven.
Because it's so isolated out there, I think we
stand a decent chance of getting more witnesses.
"And let the beauty of the
Lord our God be upon us:
and establish thou the work
of our hands upon us;
yes, the work of our hands
establish thou it."
Good words to remember.
Thank you for coming.
God be with you.
Another one of God's children.
Where's the father?
Ever since the memorial service,
Maynard doesn't...
Bobby was his oldest.
Perfectly
understandable reaction.
I think we should keep
our eye on him, instead.
How's he doing?
With no one else to play with,
how would I ever know?
You need to be
strong for him, Sam.
I'll be here Wednesday,
putting together some
Christian mailings.
Sure could use someone
to lick a few stamps, Kyle.
Did you hear what I said?
Did you hear what I said?!
Do you need a lift home?
Hey!
Where you been?
I had to make my own supper.
We were at the sandpit.
"We"?
Who's "we"?
Trent.
Trent and I.
Donny?
Hey, would you look at me
when I'm talking to you, please?
I don't know where he is, Dad!
Yeah, well, he didn't show up
at the dock this morning.
Rusty was bullshit.
Had to go out short-handed.
He's probably sick or something.
Yeah, I bet.
Well, pull up a chair,
get yourself a dinner.
I can't. I'm working two shifts.
These two jobs is too much.
You know something?
I don't see you anymore.
Why don't you go
down to the wharf
- and get something...
- Dad!
We've talked about this.
That's not for me, okay?
You know that.
Is there any mail for me?
I've been waiting for
something important.
No. It's just bills.
Okay.
Maynard!
Maynard.
Maynard, you in there?
Looks like Brewer ain't
going to show again.
You seen him?
- No.
- Friggin' worthless.
I ain't got time
to wait around for this!
Looks like you won't have to.
Here he comes.
I'll be on Channel 10.
Alright, take a
break, everybody.
Now, look, I need
two volunteers.
One's got to have
a driver's license.
That's a three-week job.
This guy's a privacy freak. I need
the same faces for the duration.
It's the Harriman estate,
up on Tidal Point?
I'll do it.
Kyle. Thank you, my man.
Alright, now, who's
going with him?
Alright. Let's roll!
Can you believe it, Kyle?
I mean, Bridgett Harriman
is going to know that we actually exist.
Yeah, but you realize
what this means, right?
No more spitballs, water balloons or
making those weird noises with your...
Come on, dude, alright?
That was in the dark ages of puberty.
I've evolved since then.
You still have a paper route.
Yeah, because
no one will take it!
Shh shh shh shh!
The NASDAQ fared better,
with a modest gain of 38 points,
almost 3%,
with technology leading the way.
The big winner was Plum Digital,
up 19 points, when news
broke of a company buyback.
Yes! I knew it!
Dude, do you... do you realize I just
won a million psychological dollars?
How so?
You know, I predicted that.
So, naturally, I took out a mental
call position on 50 contracts.
A mental what?
Don't worry it, Trent.
The stock just surged 19 points.
Do you have any fricking
idea what that means?!
You're going to buy me
a psychological Porsche?
No, dude.
Whoo!
See, Rusty?
A little delay in the morning
only makes 'em fish better.
How would you like
to swim home, Brewer?
Friggin' smartass.
Hey, you're
Donny's friend, right?
You were with him
at the ferry landing.
- I saw you.
- Yeah, I'm Kyle.
- Bridgett.
- I'm Trent.
- Hi.
- Hi.
Sorry about Donny.
He's a bit, you know,
rough around the edges.
That's his best quality.
He mentioned someplace
to go swimming on this island.
Take me there and
bring him to me, okay?
Okay.
Dude, stop staring, man.
Outer Limits, you on?
Yeah, go ahead, Rusty.
Done yet?
We're heading in.
No, I still got
another bushel yet.
Maybe you ought to think
about getting another sternman.
Kyle's old enough now, ain't he?
Maynard, you copy?
You know what?
You're breaking up on me, Rusty.
So, you think she'll really
show up to the cliffs on Sunday?
Man, you saw
the look in her eye.
She goes to Yale, right?
- Didn't you apply there?
- Uh, Harvard.
Too bad for you, man.
Know what's weird, though?
I haven't heard back
from them at all, you know?
I'm getting worried.
Delays can be good,
though, right?
I guess.
So, take care, man.
Yeah, you too. See you.
Dad.
Dad.
I don't feel well.
Well, pull yourself together.
This is shedding season, Bobby.
This is the money season.
Dad, I think I'm
going to be seasick.
You know what they'd say to you,
down at the dock, if they heard you say that?
You'd be the laughingstock and this boat
would be the disgrace of the fleet!
Bobby?
You're a Waterman!
We don't get seasick!
You're a fisherman, Bobby!
Start acting like one!
Seasick!
Jesus, Mary, and Joseph.
Aah!
- Aah! Aah!
- No!
Okay, that's the most graceful thing
I've ever seen in my whole life.
Whoo!
Yeah!
Shouldn't we give this
more thought, Curtis?
This guy at the FDA,
he could turn on us,
if he doesn't take the bait.
He already took it.
What's that supposed to mean?
It means I pushed ahead with the plan
without waiting for your slack ass.
He went along?
Why do you look so surprised?
We're not asking him for
a greenlight, Bret. It's just the opposite.
No one's going to question it.
A bribe's a bribe, Curtis.
Yeah? Well...
call it whatever you want.
I don't give a shit.
Here's who, where, and when.
Rock Creek Park,
on the Maryland side.
You're to bring
him the briefcase.
You realize we're killing off
hope for millions of people.
I mean, shit, Curtis. Venaxtrin.
There's nothing like it.
Nothing at all.
And that's exactly the
way we have to keep it.
Oh, you're doing well.
Oh.
Have you ever seen
a naked woman, Kyle?
You alright, there, man?
Just a bad dream.
Why... Why are you
here so early, Trent?
Want the scoop on last night.
You know, dude?
- Donny and Bridgett?
- Oh, God.
Seriously, Trent, I don't want to...
I don't want to hear about that.
Besides, I was work...
I was working late at the restaurant.
You remember those
two guys with the Porsche?
Yeah, those assholes?
They didn't tip or something?
Uh, no, worse than that.
How so?
I'll tell you later.
You, uh, got a
business section for me?
Oh, yeah. To hell with that.
Read page two, man.
They're talking about regulating
the amount of lobster traps.
They want to cut
the number in half.
I can only imagine your
dad's face after he reads that.
Shit.
So, what are they
giving for today?
Fifteen, 20, out
of the northwest.
- Shouldn't be too bad.
- Yeah.
What's next?
What, are they going
to seize our boats, huh?
Will you chill out?!
We've got more lobbyists
than they got senators.
They're never going
to push that through.
We'll see, huh?
Good morning.
Good morning.
Everything alright?
I have to cool
things off with Brad.
Sweetheart, he's leaving
Annapolis next week.
He's coming here to see you.
Does this have something
to do with that island kid?
No!
It has to do with me.
I don't want you doing something
that you're going to regret.
Now, look, okay, we're both still
dealing with the death of your mother.
So, I don't know.
Maybe I should find somebody
for you to talk to about this.
A shrink?
What?
You want to hire a shrink
to change my mind?!
That's not what I meant.
Oh, you never cease
to amaze me, Dad!
Honey, that's not what I meant.
Yo, my foot's...
Good morning!
Hi.
Morning.
I was just curious if either one of
you knew when Donny got off work.
Uh.
You know, Bridgett,
it's hard to tell.
You know, he usually
gets back, um...
he usually gets back around...
Yeah?
What he's trying to say is he usually
gets back to the trailer park by 6:00.
Trailer park?
I thought he lived at
that house on Ferry Road.
No, I'm pretty sure
it's the trailer park.
You know, we have to
get back to work. So...
Yeah, go ahead.
Are you crazy?!
That's a total
deal-breaker, man!
How is that a deal-breaker?
Did you just hatch out of a
frickin' egg, or something?
Damn it!
Gina.
What the hell are
you doing here?
Thank God for GPS, Davis.
I wasn't expecting
you, to say the least.
Well, I got a text message just after the
funeral that you weren't doing too well.
Bridgett should know better.
I'm her godmother, Davis.
I promised my best friend that
I would take the job seriously.
Actually, I'm glad to see you.
Despite the fact that...
well, you and I have always
been at each other's throats.
Each other's throats?
Look.
Whatever chemistry we
may have shared in the past,
wrong or right,
I refuse to sit back and let it
become an obstacle for healing.
I...
just came here to have fun
with you and Bridgett, that's all.
Is that so much to ask for,
for Christ's sake?
What is it?
It's Bridgett.
That's the first time she's played
since Carolyn passed away.
They're giving away
classroom space.
Could I a bum a
cigarette off of you, hon?
I ran out this morning.
I quit. Don't ask me that again.
You don't have to be
such an asshole about it.
Did you know it's not appropriate to
share cigarettes with your own children?
Just like it's not cool to go hungry because you
can't stop buying those damn scratch tickets.
What got into you, man?
Don't worry about me anymore.
Worry about yourself.
Wait.
I almost forgot.
Some girl was by here,
looking for you.
She said you know
where to find her.
- There was?
- Yeah.
She was cute, too.
Looked like she had money.
How the hell did you
manage to pull that one off?
How are things at Fidelity?
Good.
Just picked up a
sizable share of Avix.
Already shot some major
adrenaline into the fund.
Avix?
Aren't those the guys that have
Pfizer taking their own ulcer medication?
Yeah, with good reason.
Their prodigy drug
Venaxtrin smoked the trials.
They say diabetes
could go the way of polio.
Oh, come on.
Rumor's out FDA will approve.
Pressures on to buy more.
A lot more.
I'd sell.
Pardon?
Uh, I'd sell, as
soon as you can.
- Why?
- Excuse me!
- Who asked you to butt into...
- No, Davis.
- ... our conversation?
- Let him talk.
I'd like to hear
what he has to say.
Uh, shorting positions, ma'am.
You see, they've doubled,
over rumors
that their acquisition of
MicroTech won't go down.
I'm aware of those
rumors, but I'm
sorry to inform you that the acquisition
went through on Friday after trading hours.
It did?
Yeah.
I'm an insider.
It's my job to
know these things.
- What's your name?
- Uh, Kyle.
- Kyle Waterman.
- Gina Harper.
Nice to meet you, sir.
Give this kid a break, Davis.
He understands the principles
of leverage more than you.
Ma'am, there's something
else that I need to tell you.
Are you certain of this, Kyle?
Absolutely.
What you just told us is precisely
what came through Curtis Holman's lips?
It's an accusation of
seismic proportions.
We have to be unequivocally
clear about the details.
Yeah, I... I understand.
I have a friend at the SEC.
He'll come here.
Can he talk with you?
Yes.
So...
what happens when summer ends?
Can we let it begin, first?
I don't go to the
Naval Academy and I can't...
Brad and I are through.
I realized it...
a while ago.
Wow.
I had no idea.
Let's... row out to one of those
crazy little islands.
The one's in front of my place.
I'll steal some vodka
from my dad's war chest.
Thank you so much for coming.
Never thank me.
I know it's hard.
But you know I sleep with
my BlackBerry, so, I'm around.
You call or text,
I will be here.
Okay, I will.
- Mm. I love you.
- I love you.
Sure you can't stay?
I would love to,
but, duty calls.
- She looks beautiful.
- Aw.
That look in her eye, Davis...
she's in love.
Goodbye.
Bye.
I had a talk with the SEC
about what Kyle told us
and they are interested.
Yeah, but what if
the kid got it wrong?
I mean, after all,
he's just an islander.
Well, they confirmed that Curtis Holman,
the acting VP of Avix,
just purchased a
home on Osprey Point.
What are the chances of that?
Whoo!
- Look what I got.
- Vodka!
Hey, there you are, Bradley!
Welcome to Cliffhaven, boy!
- Thank you.
- How was... How was your trip?
It was good.
- Where the hell's Bridgett, Davis?
- Oh, Bridgett.
Well, you know Bridgett.
Hard to keep track of that gal.
Ah, here, let me
show you around.
You want a lime with this?
I came prepared, Davis.
Put your best tie on.
We got some work ahead of us.
Best day of my life!
Donny, I don't want it to end...
Oh.
- Yet.
- Yet.
- Thank you.
- You're welcome.
Yes, I know.
She's keeping us waiting.
The tension is building.
What a surprise!
Oh, don't get up.
It's okay.
Sorry I'm late.
Well, I'm going
to propose a toast.
To the two of you...
and to the bright future
that lies ahead of you.
Cheers.
You look beautiful, though.
You're too kind, Brad.
You've got a certain
glow about you.
Must really be enjoying
yourself out here.
Been a nice change.
You were shopping
when I arrived?
Think of me?
Didn't know you'd
be here a week early.
Of course. We, uh, we
should've said something.
Surprises aren't
always the best thing.
Are they?
Oh, wow.
Nicely done, Jimmy. Thank you.
Thank you. Thank you.
I take you named her
after your daughter.
No, after my wife. She, uh,...
she passed away recently.
Sorry to hear that.
Hey, so, you sure you
can handle this baby?
That any way to speak
to a naval officer, Davis?
- You mean...?
- That's right,
I accepted my commission.
I'll be stationed in Groton, just
a couple hours from your house.
That's music to
my ears, Bradley.
Congratulations.
Thank you.
You sure you want to let this
kid take this out on his own?
This kid's a naval officer.
Alright, have fun!
Sweetheart, see you later.
That'll be $3.14 with tax.
Uh, so you left...
you left Rusty's boat, huh?
Quit. I didn't miss him or
the daily overdose of drama.
He can't be too
happy about that, right?
- You're the best sternman...
- Don't give a shit.
Caught the man
skimming off the top.
Lucky I didn't break his legs.
- What about Donny?
- I don't think he knows.
I was going to tell him,
except, I was worried about
making waves among the fleet.
Now, my wife's kicked me out...
'til I find another site.
Where are you staying?
I stayed at the
pound last night.
Starting to smell like old bait.
Thank you.
Kyle.
Tell Donny that Rusty talks bad
about him all the time.
He even said once that he
might be Donny's real father.
Thank you.
I love what your
dad named this boat.
Your mom was a great lady.
She had tremendous values.
Too bad they
didn't rub off on you.
Let's skip the bullshit, Bridge!
Who the hell was
with you last night?
- Last night?
- You weren't shopping, okay?
I saw the dude through the telescope.
You guys were all over each other.
- Alright, this isn't fair to you.
- You're damn right, it isn't!
I'm seeing someone else.
Why didn't you tell me?
Why'd you make me come all
the way up here, to be humiliated?
I hadn't sorted out my feelings.
Well, what about now?
Bradley, where the hell
are you going?
Back off, Davis.
I'm on the next ferry out of here.
Whoa, whoa, whoa. Wait a minute.
I'm sorry about your boat.
I don't care about the boat!
You two are okay.
That's all that matters.
Tell me, son.
This is not like you.
So you tell me, now. Is there a
problem that I don't know about?
Is there a problem?
Yeah!
Yeah, there's a problem.
Okay, right before
Bridgett showed last night,
I saw her sucking face
with some white trash, okay?
On your rock.
When we went into the ledge,
she was dumping me
for a redneck, Davis!
Now, do you get the picture?
Look, I'm out of here, okay?
- Okay, enjoy your little Shutter Island.
- Oh, son.
Can we talk this through?
Can we talk this through?!
Bradley!
Bradley, can we talk
this through?!
Mr. Harriman.
What are you doing here?
I want you to stay
away from my daughter!
Is there any reason why?
Because you don't
belong with her!
You're a hardworking kid.
Don't do this to yourself.
You're a summer fling.
That's it!
Yeah, well, there's a lot that you
don't know about her, Mr. Harriman.
What? So you think that
she's going to remember you
when she's back at Yale
with all of her friends, Donny?
You don't belong!
You never did!
You never will!
You're wrong!
You'll see!
Stay away from her!
I'm warning you!
Yeah? Why don't you
ask your daughter?!
Piece of shit.
Oh, hi. This is for
Cliffhaven, right?
Thanks.
Good morning.
- Good morning.
- Are you Kyle?
Uh, yeah. Can I help you?
Your parents around?
Um, no.
- My dad's out fishing.
- Oh.
My name's Lindell Parks,
I'm the district attorney
of the Portland area.
I've come up here on a...
rather difficult mission.
Do you remember this man at all?
You recognize him
from church, don't you?
Uh, yeah.
He's in jail.
He's done a lot of bad things. I'm actually
up here to make sure he stays there.
Do you have any idea what
he might've done wrong, Kyle?
No.
He's abused kids.
Sexually.
- Really?
- Yeah.
I'm... I'm glad
you put him away.
Well, you see, that's the problem.
We don't really have him put away.
There are plenty of victims in Portland,
but nobody's willing to step forward and testify.
He'll probably walk.
So you came here?
Right.
I really wish I could
help you, Mr. Parks, but...
but I can't, so.
Alright, well,
let me give you
my business card.
If you can think of anything,
you call me anytime, okay?
- Alright.
- You take care.
- You too.
- Alright.
Your mother.
She's waiting for you
out in the truck.
Got something for you, Kyle.
Something I give to only
my very special friends.
I have connections
in the league.
Nolan Ryan.
Signed.
We don't see those very often.
Thanks.
I wish the whole world was
just like this tiny
island, Kyle...
a glorious place
where church bells
have a way of finding us easier,
no matter where we hide...
no matter how far
we stray from the Lord.
So,
the next time you hear them...
don't ignore them.
Because somebody...
is always watching.
Hey, Rusty.
Hold on a sec, will ya?
What was that you were saying about
having more lobbyists than the senators?
Another nail in our coffin.
Just passed the subcommittee.
Unanimously.
Guess I was wrong.
Look, Maynard, don't
go getting all upset.
Look, all's you gotta do
is license out Kyle and
throw him on the stern.
You'll be fishing the same number
of traps you was before this mess!
You know, I ain't got kids.
I don't got those privileges.
No, you don't, do you, Rusty?
It ain't so easy for me.
I promised I wouldn't
take Kyle out on the boat.
Oh.
You know what the
problem is, here?
You have got to get
over losing Bobby.
It was a freak
accident, Maynard!
When are you going to get
over that, for crying out loud?!
Get over it?!
Huh?!
You'll never have to see
your own son's baseball cap
floating away with
the tide, will ya?
Will ya?!
Will ya, Rusty, huh?!
I hope I never do.
I hope I never do.
You got to remember...
when you had Bobby onboard,
your boat was taking on more poundage
than any other vessel in the harbor.
And you've been
way behind ever since!
You need help, Maynard.
You need Kyle!
Now, more than ever.
Kyle don't want to
go out in the boat.
Wants to go to college.
This come for him the
other day in the mail.
Harvard University.
Afraid to give it to him.
Afraid of what he might do.
What might happen, if he goes.
You should be.
They'll brainwash
the shit out of him!
Turn him into something
you don't even recognize,
like one of those
moronic bureaucrats
who are trying to screw
us out of our living!
You want my advice?
You take this thing home tonight
and you use it as toilet paper!
Or you risk losing the
only son that you got left.
Kyle, why don't you
go clean up, my man?
There are some awful
important-looking folks here to see you.
Sir.
What you think
this is, a holiday?
Back to work.
Asshole.
Hey, Kyle.
Hey, Miss Harper.
Call me Gina.
Okay.
This is Tom Adams
from the SEC.
- Nice to meet you.
- Hi, Kyle. Nice to meet you.
Do you think you could come
meet us later at the Harriman house?
Uh.
Yeah.
- Yeah, think so.
- Okay. We'll see you later.
See you. Take care.
This is bigger than Enron, Kyle.
- Do you know why?
- Why?
Because there is more
than money at stake here.
Look, thanks to you, Kyle,
our subsequent investigations have
found serious improprieties at Avix,
along with several of their
higher-level executives.
Now, we can't connect any
of them to a mole at the FDA.
Think real hard, Kyle.
Do you remember either man
mentioning a certain name that evening?
I'm certain.
But they did...
they did write it down.
- Write what down?
- Everything, on a napkin.
Uh, when they left,
I took the one underneath it.
Might as well be an original.
No one can grasp why those two talked
so openly and left evidence in plain view.
Maybe they just thought that the people on
the island were too stupid to understand.
Prior to meeting you,
I was a shade guilty of that myself.
Turns out, Holman
bribed an FDA official
to fail his own drug when they discovered a
cure would be too expensive, in the long haul.
- Wait, aren't...
- If it wasn't for you, Kyle,
this one probably would've
went right under the radar.
- Are people making too big of a deal of this?
- No.
But compliments are not enough.
On my way up north,
I stopped in Boston
to see a friend of mine.
He's admissions director at a
well-known business school in Cambridge.
Harvard?
Yeah. You seem surprised,
I assumed you already
knew what I was going to say.
About what?
That you've been accepted.
You have that
much pull with them?
No! Kyle!
Favors had
nothing to do with it.
They sent you this,
but never heard from anyone.
I didn't receive anything.
I thought you were in your room.
Uh... no.
You notice anything...
you know...
different around here?
Did you get a new haircut?
The house.
I cleaned the whole house, Dad.
I see.
You did a good job.
I guess that means you, uh,
you want me to make dinner tonight.
I'll tell you what...
why don't we go and get a pizza?
Dad, um...
I have some good news.
I got offered a
chance at Harvard.
Isn't that awesome?!
How the hell did
they get a hold of you?
What are you talking about?
Never mind.
Forget it. Look...
Kyle...
you're not leaving
this house 'til you're 18.
So, you know, I need
you and Mom to sign this.
How the hell do you
expect us to pay for this?
We don't have to.
Dad, I'm being sponsored.
Sponsored? What do you mean, sponsored?
By... By who... who?
Uh, one of
Mr. Harriman's friends.
Another rich asshole!
Look, Kyle...
I'm going to need you on the boat
'til this legislation gets by us.
- Dad...
- What the hell did you expect?!
We're not taking charity from a bunch
of goddamn snobby assholes!
Kyle...
they'll do nothing but
bleed you of your heritage.
You hear me?
Is that what you... Answer me!
Don't walk away
when I'm talking to you!
Kyle, don't leave this house!
Get back in here!
Hey, man.
Harvard, yeah!
Dude, good job, man.
I can't even believe it, dude.
Dude, what's wrong with you, man?
You should be dancing.
Get Donny.
Meet me at the cliffs.
I'm jumping the upper shelf.
- Kyle, no way, no!
- Just get Donny!
Or meet me at the bottom,
dead or alive.
Are you crazy, Kyle?!
Never, I mean, never,
attempt this without me!
- Let me go!
- Look, if you're going to jump,
you're going to
listen to me, first!
What is there to say, Donny?!
You can't jump in now, Kyle.
Neither can I!
Okay? The tide is
running way too hard.
No! I have to jump!
It's the only way to find it!
- Find what?
- Balls, Donny!
I'm gutless!
- I loathe myself!
- Don't talk that way.
Let's be real! I mean, Jesus,
the only way to ever change my father
is if I change myself, first.
Look at the sky, Kyle.
Look at it.
That's a big Moon, alright?
It's big enough to see,
even during the light of day,
and a Moon like that
controls the water down there.
You can never jump past the first quarter,
or the tide will carry you into the rocks.
It would be suicide.
Alright?
Now look down there.
You see the kelp line?
That means the sea's too low.
There's not enough water to break your fall,
even if the Moon were smaller.
Okay? That's what happened to
Dustin Murdock a couple years ago.
What you're looking for, Kyle,
is the color of the water.
That's the whole secret.
Color?
When the lunar cycle is
right and the arriving sea
finally has given
all that it can...
the sunlight will pierce through the kelp
down there and saturate everything around it.
It's like the, uh...
It's like the water will start
to glow a scarlet sort of red,
right before the green
can fight its way back.
When you know the tide like it's your body,
the color will tell you exactly when to jump.
Hey.
When you see it, you'll know.
You know what? I'm no Einstein,
but I'm definitely overqualified to be working
on Rusty's boat for the rest of my life.
Look, Donny, about Rusty.
Yeah, Chief already told
me about the skimming.
Is... Is that all he said?
Well...
what else is there?
You know, meet me at
the docks in the morning.
We'll finally get even
with that evil son of a bitch.
Running beautiful now.
I'll show you around. I think you guys
are gonna be impressed with what...
Where the f...
Where the fuck is my boat?!
Take it back to the dock!
Rusty's going to kill us both!
Why did you get onboard, then?
Because I was
trying to stop you.
Nope.
I told you I got a plan.
We're cruising to Portland.
Portland?
Dude, that's 40 miles away!
Look, didn't you say that the only
way to get away from these people
was to leave,
to go where they are?
I was talking about the gulls.
No. No, you weren't.
You know Bridgett
wouldn't approve.
Ask her.
She's right behind you.
I couldn't stop him.
I told you I got a plan.
Look at this.
See, man? Don't you see?
This is what's going to get me off
this island and prove Davis wrong.
How?
I'm going to skipper fancy ships
all over the world, man.
Look, think about it.
Every spring and fall,
we'll take those million-dollar yachts
and sail them from the Vineyard all the
way down to the Bahamas, and back up.
It'll be like a vacation that
we actually get paid for.
I mean, I already
sent in my deposit.
We just got to pick up the books
when we get to Portland.
Donny, this course
is almost $4,000.
We... We don't have the money.
Don't sweat it, dude.
I've got all the financing taken care of.
A friend gave it to
me a long time ago.
Nolan Ryan, signed.
It's worth an easy two grand and I got a couple of
collectors in Portland that are drooling over it.
Donny, I know
where you got that.
He offered one of
those to me, too.
Shit.
Donny, we got to get rid
of that thing right now.
You know that!
Give me the fucking card, Donny!
It was worth more than
the house I grew up in.
I have money put away.
You'll be a skipper.
Without this.
Some guy came in from
Portland the other day.
He says... He says Jenkins is
doing it all over again on the mainland.
He wants me to testify.
You know, maybe,
when we get there, we can...
No!
No fucking way, Kyle!
My reputation is all I got left!
Everyone will start calling me queer,
right alongside that fucking monster!
Just swear to me,
on Bobby's name,
that you won't tell anybody
about this, as long as you live!
Swear to me!
- It's the way you're fucking looking at me.
- I just...
I just never thought you
could be afraid of anything.
I'm not, Kyle.
I loaded up a shotgun
for that sick bastard.
I was going to take him out.
The old lady, she
conned me out of it.
She knew about this?
Yeah. She told me
to shut the fuck up.
She said that nobody would believe a
troublemaker reared on food stamps.
How the hell do you think I got
the guts to jump off that cliff, Kyle?
I went up there to wash that
motherfucker's fingerprints off of my body!
It's all in the past, Kyle.
It's much safer there, too.
Hey, was my
mother kind of right?
No, in a fucked up sort of way.
- I thought you quit.
- Just give me the damn thing!
What just happened?!
Donny!
We made it.
Looks like the world
isn't flat, after all.
Are you Miss Samuels?
- Yes, I am.
- I'm here to pick up my books.
Sure. What is the name?
Donald Brewer.
Donald Brewer.
Oh, yes, I definitely
received your deposit.
uh, but...
have you sent us in
the remaining balance?
You might say that I, uh...
lost it overboard.
Oh, uh, you know,
I'm really sorry,
but, honestly, there's no way
I'm going to give you...
Just give him the books, please.
Let me do it.
That one?
Yeah.
- You got it?
- Got it.
Oh!
That was good!
Not so good, but.
It's my turn.
We have to play by the rules.
- Oh, whoa. Did you see that?
- Whoa. That was... Yeah.
To Bobby.
To Bobby.
So close.
To Bobby.
- I love it.
- Bobby!
- Bobby! Yes.
- Ooh, ooh.
Oh, sorry.
Hey, Donny.
Look.
Guys, look what I got today.
I got a tattoo.
- It says...
- Yeah, you did.
It says, "Bobby."
Bobby!
- Hey, to Bobby!
- To Bobby, yeah!
Bobby!
Okay, seriously, one more shot,
then we have to go.
- Can we get another round, please?
- No. No, we're good!
- Thanks, guys.
- These are kind of important.
Dude. Seriously, we have to go.
We have to get the
boat back, dude, so just...
- Kind of important.
- "A View from the Mast."
He doesn't need books
to make out, okay?
You know what?
Captain Morgan says no!
- What?
- No!
When has he ever said that?
No!
Come on, baby. Let's go.
- Yeah, let's go, baby.
- Come on.
I still can't believe that you wouldn't
honor your brother's name with me.
Look, I honor with heart,
not with skin.
You're just worried about what
those Ivy League assholes might think.
Wait, what, Ivy League?
That's right,
my boy nabbed Harvard.
Stop it!
He's going to be a...
an accountant or something.
Is that true?
Yeah, yeah.
Yes.
Been looking all
over for you, Brewer.
Now, tell us where the boat is.
Eat me, you fucking hagfish.
- Aah!
- Donny!
No!
Stop it!
Stop it!
Stop it!
He's your own blood,
you asshole!
He's your own son!
Who the hell told you that?
It doesn't matter.
Just leave us alone.
Your lousy boat is
up at Spring Point.
All that needed to be said, boy.
When this piece
of shit comes to,
you tell them it's not my fault
his old lady's an island slut!
Oh, my God, Donny!
Donny, dude.
Are you okay?
I knocked the piss
out of him, didn't I?
Good morning, Kyle.
Read an article in the paper
about some kid out at the...
- Wait, it was in the paper?
- Well, not just any paper.
It's The Wall Street Journal.
I assumed it was you.
They didn't print the name.
That was very noble.
You did the right thing.
You should be proud. You helped
to put away a couple of bad apples.
The question is...
are you going to do
the same thing for us?
And for all those
damn children, Kyle.
You won't even have to face him.
There won't even be a trial.
He'll probably cave, just like
those cowardly executives did.
All I need...
All I need out of you is a viable
threat to squeeze out a plea.
That's it.
Okay.
We have to protect someone.
Okay.
Who we talking about?
You have got one hell of a
view here, kid, you know that?
Don't you see the concrete walls
and the guard towers above them?
Is that what you see?
Sometimes.
Well, then I must say, that is the prettiest
damn penitentiary I have ever laid my eyes on.
I want you to fry
that motherfucker.
Okay?
Oh, what brings you here?
Not Sunday school.
You going to want an attorney
present before he closes the door?
An attorney?
I've got an attorney.
Whatever.
Thanks, Deputy. You can go.
I've come here
to offer you a deal.
- A deal?
- That's right.
Your full confession,
in return for an appeal of leniency.
Why would I do that?
You don't even have
a witness anymore.
Others have come forward.
Bluffing!
Does the name Kyle Waterman
sound like a bluff to you?
He's not a little kid anymore.
He's 17 years old, going on 30,
hates baseball cards, and probably
wouldn't believe in the death penalty,
if it wasn't for you.
You gettin' me on
any of this, Jenkins?
You have exactly four hours.
Go.
- Retest.
- Shit.
Retest.
Pass.
- Thank you.
- Congratulations.
Good morning, Trent.
Got your newspapers.
- Thanks, Dyer.
- Trent, before you deliver those,
I think you should know what
you're passing out this morning.
Yeah, papers.
There are some headlines in there
are going to shake up the island.
- How so?
- Down Portland way,
a child molester.
He confessed.
Used to live out here,
was a preacher?
Over 20 victims they know of,
most from the mainland, but,
a few of them are still
living right on this island.
Are you serious?
Is... Is there anyone I know?
Doesn't say, but ages were mentioned,
so was the trailer park.
Donny?!
Ain't too hard
to do the math, Trent.
Someone already dropped
his name over the radio.
Sorry to be the one
to tell you that.
I thought I told you...
to stay away.
- Where's Bridgett?
- She left early for Connecticut.
I warned you about that.
Does... Does she
have an address there?
Yes.
But she asked me
not to give it to you.
Quite vehemently,
as a matter of fact.
Doesn't make any
sense at all, Davis.
Well, well, when
you read this...
The punk in the trailer park,
that's you, isn't it?
And...
according to what's written here,
I'd say that, well,
you were old enough
to know better.
Maybe even part of a ring.
Good riddance.
- Who was that?
- Oh, nobody.
Absolutely nobody.
"And let the beauty of the Lord
our God be upon us:
and establish thou the
work of our hands upon us;
yes, the work of our
hands establish thou it."
Good words to remember.
Thank you for coming.
God be with you.
Good words to remember.
Thank you for coming.
Thank you for coming.
Good words to remember.
Good words to remember.
Wake up, you stupid fool!
You burned that church down,
didn't you, Donny?
You had your chance
to do something about it.
Get out of my house!
Get the fuck outta here!
Wait, Donny!
Donny, wait! There's something
you don't know about last night!
Someone...
Someone died
in that fire, Donny!
There was someone sleeping
in the basement of the church
when you set it afire!
That's right, Donny.
That damn Indian
you used to work with!
You killed him, Donny!
You went and killed him, Donny!
You better get your ass on
that ferry before they find ya!
And don't come back here,
ever!
You killed him, Donny!
That damn Indian
you used to work with!
You don't belong!
You never did!
You never will!
It's all in the past, Kyle.
Where the hell you
think you're going?
Doesn't matter.
Just get out of my way.
I told you, Kyle.
You're not going anywhere.
I need you on
the boat this fall,
and there's no
getting around that.
Find someone else, Dad.
Take that and unpack it.
Do as you're told!
Oh.
I'm leaving!
I'll be catching the 10:15.
That's right. You'll be there!
You'll be there waiting
for me by the ticket booth!
Your arms will be open
and you will embrace me.
You'll apologize.
Apologize for all the
years you abused me,
abused my mother,
and, most of all, Bobby.
You'll hold out your hand,
we'll shake...
and leave it all behind us.
Tomorrow, Dad...
you will be a father for the
first time in my entire life.
And, if I turn around
and all I see is a tourist
standing there...
then...
I'll board that ferry, and when it
leaves the pier, I won't look back.
No, I will make it
a point in my life...
that I will be happy.
Dad, I won't think
about you anymore.
William Tell can kiss my ass!
Do we look stupid, Kyle?
You were aiming
at the other one.
Like hell, Donny.
You're just jealous.
Yeah, right. Jealous of what?
This!
You would trade every muscle
you got for two of these cells.
Jeez, guys. Chill out.
Shut up, Trent!
This is between
Einstein and myself.
Look, you can say all you want,
but I got something
you can only dream of.
What?
A promising career
in moving furniture?
Balls, okay?! I got balls!
Take that one to the bank.
I guess you're right.
Too easy.
It's time to put
you to the test.
Look up at the ceiling.
Holy shit, dude! That thing's
the size of a fucking blimp.
You see all those magazines
scattered on the floor?
There's a centerfold
inside every single one.
Holy crap.
That's right, but we're never going to get our hands
on them with that thing looming over us, will we?
Here's your chance, big man.
You ready to take it out?
Donny, I'm allergic.
- Pussy.
- Fine, fine!
- No, come...
- Alright, I'll do it!
Dude, are you crazy, Kyle?!
- Donny, one sting...
- Shut up, Trent!
How do I do this?
Stick it in there and cover it
before they can react.
It's a cinch. They do it all
the time in kindergarten.
It's called Hot Potato.
Yeah, okay, and they
do it in Afghanistan, too.
I'm pretty sure it's
called defusing an IED!
Simon says, do it, Kyle.
- Now!
- Just give me a second!
Trent!
Oh, my God.
I swear to God, I'd show her
what real beefcake is about. Ahh!
You probably wouldn't even
know how to get her bra off, Trent.
I actually, I do,
because I've been practicing.
What the fuck?
Just take one of my mom's bras
and use it on one of my pillows.
What does that even mean?
I plead the Fifth?
What?!
Uh, Trent, that's sick.
Jesus!
Oh, sick!
Either of you numb nuts happen
to check the dates on these things?
Uh, 1971?
Miss June probably gave
birth to fucking Moses!
She's probably in some
assisted living facility!
No. You think, man?
Yeah.
Two words, Trent...
denture cream and absorbent underwear
that's soaking up all that dusty shit.
Oh, dude! Come on, man!
Why do you got to put
that image in my head?!
Where the hell you think
you're going without us?
The ferry.
Guys, it's the first Friday
of the summer.
- You know what that means.
- Summer girls.
Dude.
Where's Donny?!
Suck.
Where's Donny, man?
Are you saying that we
actually beat him here, for once?
I don't see him.
- Do you?
- No.
What took you guys so long?
Are you... are you kidding me?
How did you get here so fast?
Amphibious route.
The cliffs?!
That's so stupid, man!
It's not worth your life.
I got a reputation to maintain.
Ah!
Those bastards.
Damn seagulls.
One of these days, I swear to God,
I'm going to take a crate of d-CON...
Dude, it won't matter
what you do.
The seagulls will
always be here.
You boys know where
we can find Osprey Point?
Yeah, definitely, man.
I definitely know where that is,
so, if you move over, I'll...
You're Curtis Holman, from
Avix Pharmaceuticals, right.
And how in tarnation
would you know that?
He knows a lot more
than you think he does.
Is that so?
I tell you what, tough guy.
If your bright friend here can guess
the current stock price of our company,
then maybe I'll let you guys take
this out for a hell ride of your own.
Really?
Fifty-one.
Down from 72 in May,
before your PE ratio sank like the Titanic.
Curtis, you just
got gutted, man.
We're holding up traffic.
- Are you serious?
- Another time?
Are, are you kidding?
Come on, seriously?
That is bullshit!
Get back here, man!
- What a jackass.
- You guys,
forget about the damn car!
Who the hell is that?
That's Bridgett Harriman.
Her old man just bought
that place up at Tidal Point.
God, she's incredible.
- I think that...
- Donny, don't.
Man, she's 21.
She's a junior at Yale.
She just blew off the governor's son
when he asked her out on a date.
Jesus H. Christ.
What do I do?
Carjack 'em?
Exactly.
Are you serious?
Should we know you, son?
I'm Donny.
It's nice to meet you.
Did he actually
just take my advice?
Yeah.
So, did you say one of these
houses up here is yours?
Yeah, the big one on the right.
There's a lot of big
ones on the right.
The third big one on the right.
Alright.
Here you go.
I didn't catch your name.
Bridgett.
I know this crazy place
to swim on the island.
It'll blow your mind.
Not this summer.
Her boyfriend's planning a visit when
he ties up things at the Naval Academy.
They're going to be
quite busy from then on.
But, hey, maybe you and
he can, you know, meet.
What are you, her official
spokesman, or something?
Aren't there plenty of local girls around
here, Donny, that can hold your interest?
It's a narrow gene pool, sir.
Everyone I date turns out
to be my cousin.
Nice to meet you.
See you around.
Bye.
Hey! My mug!
- Voil.
- Thank you.
You know, you could take
a hot tub in that thing.
I just might.
Do you want the good news
or the bad news?
Both, but not
exactly in that order.
The Jenkins star
witness has backed out.
Well, the parents don't want to put
the kid through it anymore.
Well, then we're
clean out of witnesses.
Well, that's where the
good news comes in.
I've discovered a
lost congregation.
A what?
One of Jenkins'
past congregations,
one we didn't know about...
seven years ago, out on
an island called Cliffhaven.
Because it's so isolated out there, I think we
stand a decent chance of getting more witnesses.
"And let the beauty of the
Lord our God be upon us:
and establish thou the work
of our hands upon us;
yes, the work of our hands
establish thou it."
Good words to remember.
Thank you for coming.
God be with you.
Another one of God's children.
Where's the father?
Ever since the memorial service,
Maynard doesn't...
Bobby was his oldest.
Perfectly
understandable reaction.
I think we should keep
our eye on him, instead.
How's he doing?
With no one else to play with,
how would I ever know?
You need to be
strong for him, Sam.
I'll be here Wednesday,
putting together some
Christian mailings.
Sure could use someone
to lick a few stamps, Kyle.
Did you hear what I said?
Did you hear what I said?!
Do you need a lift home?
Hey!
Where you been?
I had to make my own supper.
We were at the sandpit.
"We"?
Who's "we"?
Trent.
Trent and I.
Donny?
Hey, would you look at me
when I'm talking to you, please?
I don't know where he is, Dad!
Yeah, well, he didn't show up
at the dock this morning.
Rusty was bullshit.
Had to go out short-handed.
He's probably sick or something.
Yeah, I bet.
Well, pull up a chair,
get yourself a dinner.
I can't. I'm working two shifts.
These two jobs is too much.
You know something?
I don't see you anymore.
Why don't you go
down to the wharf
- and get something...
- Dad!
We've talked about this.
That's not for me, okay?
You know that.
Is there any mail for me?
I've been waiting for
something important.
No. It's just bills.
Okay.
Maynard!
Maynard.
Maynard, you in there?
Looks like Brewer ain't
going to show again.
You seen him?
- No.
- Friggin' worthless.
I ain't got time
to wait around for this!
Looks like you won't have to.
Here he comes.
I'll be on Channel 10.
Alright, take a
break, everybody.
Now, look, I need
two volunteers.
One's got to have
a driver's license.
That's a three-week job.
This guy's a privacy freak. I need
the same faces for the duration.
It's the Harriman estate,
up on Tidal Point?
I'll do it.
Kyle. Thank you, my man.
Alright, now, who's
going with him?
Alright. Let's roll!
Can you believe it, Kyle?
I mean, Bridgett Harriman
is going to know that we actually exist.
Yeah, but you realize
what this means, right?
No more spitballs, water balloons or
making those weird noises with your...
Come on, dude, alright?
That was in the dark ages of puberty.
I've evolved since then.
You still have a paper route.
Yeah, because
no one will take it!
Shh shh shh shh!
The NASDAQ fared better,
with a modest gain of 38 points,
almost 3%,
with technology leading the way.
The big winner was Plum Digital,
up 19 points, when news
broke of a company buyback.
Yes! I knew it!
Dude, do you... do you realize I just
won a million psychological dollars?
How so?
You know, I predicted that.
So, naturally, I took out a mental
call position on 50 contracts.
A mental what?
Don't worry it, Trent.
The stock just surged 19 points.
Do you have any fricking
idea what that means?!
You're going to buy me
a psychological Porsche?
No, dude.
Whoo!
See, Rusty?
A little delay in the morning
only makes 'em fish better.
How would you like
to swim home, Brewer?
Friggin' smartass.
Hey, you're
Donny's friend, right?
You were with him
at the ferry landing.
- I saw you.
- Yeah, I'm Kyle.
- Bridgett.
- I'm Trent.
- Hi.
- Hi.
Sorry about Donny.
He's a bit, you know,
rough around the edges.
That's his best quality.
He mentioned someplace
to go swimming on this island.
Take me there and
bring him to me, okay?
Okay.
Dude, stop staring, man.
Outer Limits, you on?
Yeah, go ahead, Rusty.
Done yet?
We're heading in.
No, I still got
another bushel yet.
Maybe you ought to think
about getting another sternman.
Kyle's old enough now, ain't he?
Maynard, you copy?
You know what?
You're breaking up on me, Rusty.
So, you think she'll really
show up to the cliffs on Sunday?
Man, you saw
the look in her eye.
She goes to Yale, right?
- Didn't you apply there?
- Uh, Harvard.
Too bad for you, man.
Know what's weird, though?
I haven't heard back
from them at all, you know?
I'm getting worried.
Delays can be good,
though, right?
I guess.
So, take care, man.
Yeah, you too. See you.
Dad.
Dad.
I don't feel well.
Well, pull yourself together.
This is shedding season, Bobby.
This is the money season.
Dad, I think I'm
going to be seasick.
You know what they'd say to you,
down at the dock, if they heard you say that?
You'd be the laughingstock and this boat
would be the disgrace of the fleet!
Bobby?
You're a Waterman!
We don't get seasick!
You're a fisherman, Bobby!
Start acting like one!
Seasick!
Jesus, Mary, and Joseph.
Aah!
- Aah! Aah!
- No!
Okay, that's the most graceful thing
I've ever seen in my whole life.
Whoo!
Yeah!
Shouldn't we give this
more thought, Curtis?
This guy at the FDA,
he could turn on us,
if he doesn't take the bait.
He already took it.
What's that supposed to mean?
It means I pushed ahead with the plan
without waiting for your slack ass.
He went along?
Why do you look so surprised?
We're not asking him for
a greenlight, Bret. It's just the opposite.
No one's going to question it.
A bribe's a bribe, Curtis.
Yeah? Well...
call it whatever you want.
I don't give a shit.
Here's who, where, and when.
Rock Creek Park,
on the Maryland side.
You're to bring
him the briefcase.
You realize we're killing off
hope for millions of people.
I mean, shit, Curtis. Venaxtrin.
There's nothing like it.
Nothing at all.
And that's exactly the
way we have to keep it.
Oh, you're doing well.
Oh.
Have you ever seen
a naked woman, Kyle?
You alright, there, man?
Just a bad dream.
Why... Why are you
here so early, Trent?
Want the scoop on last night.
You know, dude?
- Donny and Bridgett?
- Oh, God.
Seriously, Trent, I don't want to...
I don't want to hear about that.
Besides, I was work...
I was working late at the restaurant.
You remember those
two guys with the Porsche?
Yeah, those assholes?
They didn't tip or something?
Uh, no, worse than that.
How so?
I'll tell you later.
You, uh, got a
business section for me?
Oh, yeah. To hell with that.
Read page two, man.
They're talking about regulating
the amount of lobster traps.
They want to cut
the number in half.
I can only imagine your
dad's face after he reads that.
Shit.
So, what are they
giving for today?
Fifteen, 20, out
of the northwest.
- Shouldn't be too bad.
- Yeah.
What's next?
What, are they going
to seize our boats, huh?
Will you chill out?!
We've got more lobbyists
than they got senators.
They're never going
to push that through.
We'll see, huh?
Good morning.
Good morning.
Everything alright?
I have to cool
things off with Brad.
Sweetheart, he's leaving
Annapolis next week.
He's coming here to see you.
Does this have something
to do with that island kid?
No!
It has to do with me.
I don't want you doing something
that you're going to regret.
Now, look, okay, we're both still
dealing with the death of your mother.
So, I don't know.
Maybe I should find somebody
for you to talk to about this.
A shrink?
What?
You want to hire a shrink
to change my mind?!
That's not what I meant.
Oh, you never cease
to amaze me, Dad!
Honey, that's not what I meant.
Yo, my foot's...
Good morning!
Hi.
Morning.
I was just curious if either one of
you knew when Donny got off work.
Uh.
You know, Bridgett,
it's hard to tell.
You know, he usually
gets back, um...
he usually gets back around...
Yeah?
What he's trying to say is he usually
gets back to the trailer park by 6:00.
Trailer park?
I thought he lived at
that house on Ferry Road.
No, I'm pretty sure
it's the trailer park.
You know, we have to
get back to work. So...
Yeah, go ahead.
Are you crazy?!
That's a total
deal-breaker, man!
How is that a deal-breaker?
Did you just hatch out of a
frickin' egg, or something?
Damn it!
Gina.
What the hell are
you doing here?
Thank God for GPS, Davis.
I wasn't expecting
you, to say the least.
Well, I got a text message just after the
funeral that you weren't doing too well.
Bridgett should know better.
I'm her godmother, Davis.
I promised my best friend that
I would take the job seriously.
Actually, I'm glad to see you.
Despite the fact that...
well, you and I have always
been at each other's throats.
Each other's throats?
Look.
Whatever chemistry we
may have shared in the past,
wrong or right,
I refuse to sit back and let it
become an obstacle for healing.
I...
just came here to have fun
with you and Bridgett, that's all.
Is that so much to ask for,
for Christ's sake?
What is it?
It's Bridgett.
That's the first time she's played
since Carolyn passed away.
They're giving away
classroom space.
Could I a bum a
cigarette off of you, hon?
I ran out this morning.
I quit. Don't ask me that again.
You don't have to be
such an asshole about it.
Did you know it's not appropriate to
share cigarettes with your own children?
Just like it's not cool to go hungry because you
can't stop buying those damn scratch tickets.
What got into you, man?
Don't worry about me anymore.
Worry about yourself.
Wait.
I almost forgot.
Some girl was by here,
looking for you.
She said you know
where to find her.
- There was?
- Yeah.
She was cute, too.
Looked like she had money.
How the hell did you
manage to pull that one off?
How are things at Fidelity?
Good.
Just picked up a
sizable share of Avix.
Already shot some major
adrenaline into the fund.
Avix?
Aren't those the guys that have
Pfizer taking their own ulcer medication?
Yeah, with good reason.
Their prodigy drug
Venaxtrin smoked the trials.
They say diabetes
could go the way of polio.
Oh, come on.
Rumor's out FDA will approve.
Pressures on to buy more.
A lot more.
I'd sell.
Pardon?
Uh, I'd sell, as
soon as you can.
- Why?
- Excuse me!
- Who asked you to butt into...
- No, Davis.
- ... our conversation?
- Let him talk.
I'd like to hear
what he has to say.
Uh, shorting positions, ma'am.
You see, they've doubled,
over rumors
that their acquisition of
MicroTech won't go down.
I'm aware of those
rumors, but I'm
sorry to inform you that the acquisition
went through on Friday after trading hours.
It did?
Yeah.
I'm an insider.
It's my job to
know these things.
- What's your name?
- Uh, Kyle.
- Kyle Waterman.
- Gina Harper.
Nice to meet you, sir.
Give this kid a break, Davis.
He understands the principles
of leverage more than you.
Ma'am, there's something
else that I need to tell you.
Are you certain of this, Kyle?
Absolutely.
What you just told us is precisely
what came through Curtis Holman's lips?
It's an accusation of
seismic proportions.
We have to be unequivocally
clear about the details.
Yeah, I... I understand.
I have a friend at the SEC.
He'll come here.
Can he talk with you?
Yes.
So...
what happens when summer ends?
Can we let it begin, first?
I don't go to the
Naval Academy and I can't...
Brad and I are through.
I realized it...
a while ago.
Wow.
I had no idea.
Let's... row out to one of those
crazy little islands.
The one's in front of my place.
I'll steal some vodka
from my dad's war chest.
Thank you so much for coming.
Never thank me.
I know it's hard.
But you know I sleep with
my BlackBerry, so, I'm around.
You call or text,
I will be here.
Okay, I will.
- Mm. I love you.
- I love you.
Sure you can't stay?
I would love to,
but, duty calls.
- She looks beautiful.
- Aw.
That look in her eye, Davis...
she's in love.
Goodbye.
Bye.
I had a talk with the SEC
about what Kyle told us
and they are interested.
Yeah, but what if
the kid got it wrong?
I mean, after all,
he's just an islander.
Well, they confirmed that Curtis Holman,
the acting VP of Avix,
just purchased a
home on Osprey Point.
What are the chances of that?
Whoo!
- Look what I got.
- Vodka!
Hey, there you are, Bradley!
Welcome to Cliffhaven, boy!
- Thank you.
- How was... How was your trip?
It was good.
- Where the hell's Bridgett, Davis?
- Oh, Bridgett.
Well, you know Bridgett.
Hard to keep track of that gal.
Ah, here, let me
show you around.
You want a lime with this?
I came prepared, Davis.
Put your best tie on.
We got some work ahead of us.
Best day of my life!
Donny, I don't want it to end...
Oh.
- Yet.
- Yet.
- Thank you.
- You're welcome.
Yes, I know.
She's keeping us waiting.
The tension is building.
What a surprise!
Oh, don't get up.
It's okay.
Sorry I'm late.
Well, I'm going
to propose a toast.
To the two of you...
and to the bright future
that lies ahead of you.
Cheers.
You look beautiful, though.
You're too kind, Brad.
You've got a certain
glow about you.
Must really be enjoying
yourself out here.
Been a nice change.
You were shopping
when I arrived?
Think of me?
Didn't know you'd
be here a week early.
Of course. We, uh, we
should've said something.
Surprises aren't
always the best thing.
Are they?
Oh, wow.
Nicely done, Jimmy. Thank you.
Thank you. Thank you.
I take you named her
after your daughter.
No, after my wife. She, uh,...
she passed away recently.
Sorry to hear that.
Hey, so, you sure you
can handle this baby?
That any way to speak
to a naval officer, Davis?
- You mean...?
- That's right,
I accepted my commission.
I'll be stationed in Groton, just
a couple hours from your house.
That's music to
my ears, Bradley.
Congratulations.
Thank you.
You sure you want to let this
kid take this out on his own?
This kid's a naval officer.
Alright, have fun!
Sweetheart, see you later.
That'll be $3.14 with tax.
Uh, so you left...
you left Rusty's boat, huh?
Quit. I didn't miss him or
the daily overdose of drama.
He can't be too
happy about that, right?
- You're the best sternman...
- Don't give a shit.
Caught the man
skimming off the top.
Lucky I didn't break his legs.
- What about Donny?
- I don't think he knows.
I was going to tell him,
except, I was worried about
making waves among the fleet.
Now, my wife's kicked me out...
'til I find another site.
Where are you staying?
I stayed at the
pound last night.
Starting to smell like old bait.
Thank you.
Kyle.
Tell Donny that Rusty talks bad
about him all the time.
He even said once that he
might be Donny's real father.
Thank you.
I love what your
dad named this boat.
Your mom was a great lady.
She had tremendous values.
Too bad they
didn't rub off on you.
Let's skip the bullshit, Bridge!
Who the hell was
with you last night?
- Last night?
- You weren't shopping, okay?
I saw the dude through the telescope.
You guys were all over each other.
- Alright, this isn't fair to you.
- You're damn right, it isn't!
I'm seeing someone else.
Why didn't you tell me?
Why'd you make me come all
the way up here, to be humiliated?
I hadn't sorted out my feelings.
Well, what about now?
Bradley, where the hell
are you going?
Back off, Davis.
I'm on the next ferry out of here.
Whoa, whoa, whoa. Wait a minute.
I'm sorry about your boat.
I don't care about the boat!
You two are okay.
That's all that matters.
Tell me, son.
This is not like you.
So you tell me, now. Is there a
problem that I don't know about?
Is there a problem?
Yeah!
Yeah, there's a problem.
Okay, right before
Bridgett showed last night,
I saw her sucking face
with some white trash, okay?
On your rock.
When we went into the ledge,
she was dumping me
for a redneck, Davis!
Now, do you get the picture?
Look, I'm out of here, okay?
- Okay, enjoy your little Shutter Island.
- Oh, son.
Can we talk this through?
Can we talk this through?!
Bradley!
Bradley, can we talk
this through?!
Mr. Harriman.
What are you doing here?
I want you to stay
away from my daughter!
Is there any reason why?
Because you don't
belong with her!
You're a hardworking kid.
Don't do this to yourself.
You're a summer fling.
That's it!
Yeah, well, there's a lot that you
don't know about her, Mr. Harriman.
What? So you think that
she's going to remember you
when she's back at Yale
with all of her friends, Donny?
You don't belong!
You never did!
You never will!
You're wrong!
You'll see!
Stay away from her!
I'm warning you!
Yeah? Why don't you
ask your daughter?!
Piece of shit.
Oh, hi. This is for
Cliffhaven, right?
Thanks.
Good morning.
- Good morning.
- Are you Kyle?
Uh, yeah. Can I help you?
Your parents around?
Um, no.
- My dad's out fishing.
- Oh.
My name's Lindell Parks,
I'm the district attorney
of the Portland area.
I've come up here on a...
rather difficult mission.
Do you remember this man at all?
You recognize him
from church, don't you?
Uh, yeah.
He's in jail.
He's done a lot of bad things. I'm actually
up here to make sure he stays there.
Do you have any idea what
he might've done wrong, Kyle?
No.
He's abused kids.
Sexually.
- Really?
- Yeah.
I'm... I'm glad
you put him away.
Well, you see, that's the problem.
We don't really have him put away.
There are plenty of victims in Portland,
but nobody's willing to step forward and testify.
He'll probably walk.
So you came here?
Right.
I really wish I could
help you, Mr. Parks, but...
but I can't, so.
Alright, well,
let me give you
my business card.
If you can think of anything,
you call me anytime, okay?
- Alright.
- You take care.
- You too.
- Alright.
Your mother.
She's waiting for you
out in the truck.
Got something for you, Kyle.
Something I give to only
my very special friends.
I have connections
in the league.
Nolan Ryan.
Signed.
We don't see those very often.
Thanks.
I wish the whole world was
just like this tiny
island, Kyle...
a glorious place
where church bells
have a way of finding us easier,
no matter where we hide...
no matter how far
we stray from the Lord.
So,
the next time you hear them...
don't ignore them.
Because somebody...
is always watching.
Hey, Rusty.
Hold on a sec, will ya?
What was that you were saying about
having more lobbyists than the senators?
Another nail in our coffin.
Just passed the subcommittee.
Unanimously.
Guess I was wrong.
Look, Maynard, don't
go getting all upset.
Look, all's you gotta do
is license out Kyle and
throw him on the stern.
You'll be fishing the same number
of traps you was before this mess!
You know, I ain't got kids.
I don't got those privileges.
No, you don't, do you, Rusty?
It ain't so easy for me.
I promised I wouldn't
take Kyle out on the boat.
Oh.
You know what the
problem is, here?
You have got to get
over losing Bobby.
It was a freak
accident, Maynard!
When are you going to get
over that, for crying out loud?!
Get over it?!
Huh?!
You'll never have to see
your own son's baseball cap
floating away with
the tide, will ya?
Will ya?!
Will ya, Rusty, huh?!
I hope I never do.
I hope I never do.
You got to remember...
when you had Bobby onboard,
your boat was taking on more poundage
than any other vessel in the harbor.
And you've been
way behind ever since!
You need help, Maynard.
You need Kyle!
Now, more than ever.
Kyle don't want to
go out in the boat.
Wants to go to college.
This come for him the
other day in the mail.
Harvard University.
Afraid to give it to him.
Afraid of what he might do.
What might happen, if he goes.
You should be.
They'll brainwash
the shit out of him!
Turn him into something
you don't even recognize,
like one of those
moronic bureaucrats
who are trying to screw
us out of our living!
You want my advice?
You take this thing home tonight
and you use it as toilet paper!
Or you risk losing the
only son that you got left.
Kyle, why don't you
go clean up, my man?
There are some awful
important-looking folks here to see you.
Sir.
What you think
this is, a holiday?
Back to work.
Asshole.
Hey, Kyle.
Hey, Miss Harper.
Call me Gina.
Okay.
This is Tom Adams
from the SEC.
- Nice to meet you.
- Hi, Kyle. Nice to meet you.
Do you think you could come
meet us later at the Harriman house?
Uh.
Yeah.
- Yeah, think so.
- Okay. We'll see you later.
See you. Take care.
This is bigger than Enron, Kyle.
- Do you know why?
- Why?
Because there is more
than money at stake here.
Look, thanks to you, Kyle,
our subsequent investigations have
found serious improprieties at Avix,
along with several of their
higher-level executives.
Now, we can't connect any
of them to a mole at the FDA.
Think real hard, Kyle.
Do you remember either man
mentioning a certain name that evening?
I'm certain.
But they did...
they did write it down.
- Write what down?
- Everything, on a napkin.
Uh, when they left,
I took the one underneath it.
Might as well be an original.
No one can grasp why those two talked
so openly and left evidence in plain view.
Maybe they just thought that the people on
the island were too stupid to understand.
Prior to meeting you,
I was a shade guilty of that myself.
Turns out, Holman
bribed an FDA official
to fail his own drug when they discovered a
cure would be too expensive, in the long haul.
- Wait, aren't...
- If it wasn't for you, Kyle,
this one probably would've
went right under the radar.
- Are people making too big of a deal of this?
- No.
But compliments are not enough.
On my way up north,
I stopped in Boston
to see a friend of mine.
He's admissions director at a
well-known business school in Cambridge.
Harvard?
Yeah. You seem surprised,
I assumed you already
knew what I was going to say.
About what?
That you've been accepted.
You have that
much pull with them?
No! Kyle!
Favors had
nothing to do with it.
They sent you this,
but never heard from anyone.
I didn't receive anything.
I thought you were in your room.
Uh... no.
You notice anything...
you know...
different around here?
Did you get a new haircut?
The house.
I cleaned the whole house, Dad.
I see.
You did a good job.
I guess that means you, uh,
you want me to make dinner tonight.
I'll tell you what...
why don't we go and get a pizza?
Dad, um...
I have some good news.
I got offered a
chance at Harvard.
Isn't that awesome?!
How the hell did
they get a hold of you?
What are you talking about?
Never mind.
Forget it. Look...
Kyle...
you're not leaving
this house 'til you're 18.
So, you know, I need
you and Mom to sign this.
How the hell do you
expect us to pay for this?
We don't have to.
Dad, I'm being sponsored.
Sponsored? What do you mean, sponsored?
By... By who... who?
Uh, one of
Mr. Harriman's friends.
Another rich asshole!
Look, Kyle...
I'm going to need you on the boat
'til this legislation gets by us.
- Dad...
- What the hell did you expect?!
We're not taking charity from a bunch
of goddamn snobby assholes!
Kyle...
they'll do nothing but
bleed you of your heritage.
You hear me?
Is that what you... Answer me!
Don't walk away
when I'm talking to you!
Kyle, don't leave this house!
Get back in here!
Hey, man.
Harvard, yeah!
Dude, good job, man.
I can't even believe it, dude.
Dude, what's wrong with you, man?
You should be dancing.
Get Donny.
Meet me at the cliffs.
I'm jumping the upper shelf.
- Kyle, no way, no!
- Just get Donny!
Or meet me at the bottom,
dead or alive.
Are you crazy, Kyle?!
Never, I mean, never,
attempt this without me!
- Let me go!
- Look, if you're going to jump,
you're going to
listen to me, first!
What is there to say, Donny?!
You can't jump in now, Kyle.
Neither can I!
Okay? The tide is
running way too hard.
No! I have to jump!
It's the only way to find it!
- Find what?
- Balls, Donny!
I'm gutless!
- I loathe myself!
- Don't talk that way.
Let's be real! I mean, Jesus,
the only way to ever change my father
is if I change myself, first.
Look at the sky, Kyle.
Look at it.
That's a big Moon, alright?
It's big enough to see,
even during the light of day,
and a Moon like that
controls the water down there.
You can never jump past the first quarter,
or the tide will carry you into the rocks.
It would be suicide.
Alright?
Now look down there.
You see the kelp line?
That means the sea's too low.
There's not enough water to break your fall,
even if the Moon were smaller.
Okay? That's what happened to
Dustin Murdock a couple years ago.
What you're looking for, Kyle,
is the color of the water.
That's the whole secret.
Color?
When the lunar cycle is
right and the arriving sea
finally has given
all that it can...
the sunlight will pierce through the kelp
down there and saturate everything around it.
It's like the, uh...
It's like the water will start
to glow a scarlet sort of red,
right before the green
can fight its way back.
When you know the tide like it's your body,
the color will tell you exactly when to jump.
Hey.
When you see it, you'll know.
You know what? I'm no Einstein,
but I'm definitely overqualified to be working
on Rusty's boat for the rest of my life.
Look, Donny, about Rusty.
Yeah, Chief already told
me about the skimming.
Is... Is that all he said?
Well...
what else is there?
You know, meet me at
the docks in the morning.
We'll finally get even
with that evil son of a bitch.
Running beautiful now.
I'll show you around. I think you guys
are gonna be impressed with what...
Where the f...
Where the fuck is my boat?!
Take it back to the dock!
Rusty's going to kill us both!
Why did you get onboard, then?
Because I was
trying to stop you.
Nope.
I told you I got a plan.
We're cruising to Portland.
Portland?
Dude, that's 40 miles away!
Look, didn't you say that the only
way to get away from these people
was to leave,
to go where they are?
I was talking about the gulls.
No. No, you weren't.
You know Bridgett
wouldn't approve.
Ask her.
She's right behind you.
I couldn't stop him.
I told you I got a plan.
Look at this.
See, man? Don't you see?
This is what's going to get me off
this island and prove Davis wrong.
How?
I'm going to skipper fancy ships
all over the world, man.
Look, think about it.
Every spring and fall,
we'll take those million-dollar yachts
and sail them from the Vineyard all the
way down to the Bahamas, and back up.
It'll be like a vacation that
we actually get paid for.
I mean, I already
sent in my deposit.
We just got to pick up the books
when we get to Portland.
Donny, this course
is almost $4,000.
We... We don't have the money.
Don't sweat it, dude.
I've got all the financing taken care of.
A friend gave it to
me a long time ago.
Nolan Ryan, signed.
It's worth an easy two grand and I got a couple of
collectors in Portland that are drooling over it.
Donny, I know
where you got that.
He offered one of
those to me, too.
Shit.
Donny, we got to get rid
of that thing right now.
You know that!
Give me the fucking card, Donny!
It was worth more than
the house I grew up in.
I have money put away.
You'll be a skipper.
Without this.
Some guy came in from
Portland the other day.
He says... He says Jenkins is
doing it all over again on the mainland.
He wants me to testify.
You know, maybe,
when we get there, we can...
No!
No fucking way, Kyle!
My reputation is all I got left!
Everyone will start calling me queer,
right alongside that fucking monster!
Just swear to me,
on Bobby's name,
that you won't tell anybody
about this, as long as you live!
Swear to me!
- It's the way you're fucking looking at me.
- I just...
I just never thought you
could be afraid of anything.
I'm not, Kyle.
I loaded up a shotgun
for that sick bastard.
I was going to take him out.
The old lady, she
conned me out of it.
She knew about this?
Yeah. She told me
to shut the fuck up.
She said that nobody would believe a
troublemaker reared on food stamps.
How the hell do you think I got
the guts to jump off that cliff, Kyle?
I went up there to wash that
motherfucker's fingerprints off of my body!
It's all in the past, Kyle.
It's much safer there, too.
Hey, was my
mother kind of right?
No, in a fucked up sort of way.
- I thought you quit.
- Just give me the damn thing!
What just happened?!
Donny!
We made it.
Looks like the world
isn't flat, after all.
Are you Miss Samuels?
- Yes, I am.
- I'm here to pick up my books.
Sure. What is the name?
Donald Brewer.
Donald Brewer.
Oh, yes, I definitely
received your deposit.
uh, but...
have you sent us in
the remaining balance?
You might say that I, uh...
lost it overboard.
Oh, uh, you know,
I'm really sorry,
but, honestly, there's no way
I'm going to give you...
Just give him the books, please.
Let me do it.
That one?
Yeah.
- You got it?
- Got it.
Oh!
That was good!
Not so good, but.
It's my turn.
We have to play by the rules.
- Oh, whoa. Did you see that?
- Whoa. That was... Yeah.
To Bobby.
To Bobby.
So close.
To Bobby.
- I love it.
- Bobby!
- Bobby! Yes.
- Ooh, ooh.
Oh, sorry.
Hey, Donny.
Look.
Guys, look what I got today.
I got a tattoo.
- It says...
- Yeah, you did.
It says, "Bobby."
Bobby!
- Hey, to Bobby!
- To Bobby, yeah!
Bobby!
Okay, seriously, one more shot,
then we have to go.
- Can we get another round, please?
- No. No, we're good!
- Thanks, guys.
- These are kind of important.
Dude. Seriously, we have to go.
We have to get the
boat back, dude, so just...
- Kind of important.
- "A View from the Mast."
He doesn't need books
to make out, okay?
You know what?
Captain Morgan says no!
- What?
- No!
When has he ever said that?
No!
Come on, baby. Let's go.
- Yeah, let's go, baby.
- Come on.
I still can't believe that you wouldn't
honor your brother's name with me.
Look, I honor with heart,
not with skin.
You're just worried about what
those Ivy League assholes might think.
Wait, what, Ivy League?
That's right,
my boy nabbed Harvard.
Stop it!
He's going to be a...
an accountant or something.
Is that true?
Yeah, yeah.
Yes.
Been looking all
over for you, Brewer.
Now, tell us where the boat is.
Eat me, you fucking hagfish.
- Aah!
- Donny!
No!
Stop it!
Stop it!
Stop it!
He's your own blood,
you asshole!
He's your own son!
Who the hell told you that?
It doesn't matter.
Just leave us alone.
Your lousy boat is
up at Spring Point.
All that needed to be said, boy.
When this piece
of shit comes to,
you tell them it's not my fault
his old lady's an island slut!
Oh, my God, Donny!
Donny, dude.
Are you okay?
I knocked the piss
out of him, didn't I?
Good morning, Kyle.
Read an article in the paper
about some kid out at the...
- Wait, it was in the paper?
- Well, not just any paper.
It's The Wall Street Journal.
I assumed it was you.
They didn't print the name.
That was very noble.
You did the right thing.
You should be proud. You helped
to put away a couple of bad apples.
The question is...
are you going to do
the same thing for us?
And for all those
damn children, Kyle.
You won't even have to face him.
There won't even be a trial.
He'll probably cave, just like
those cowardly executives did.
All I need...
All I need out of you is a viable
threat to squeeze out a plea.
That's it.
Okay.
We have to protect someone.
Okay.
Who we talking about?
You have got one hell of a
view here, kid, you know that?
Don't you see the concrete walls
and the guard towers above them?
Is that what you see?
Sometimes.
Well, then I must say, that is the prettiest
damn penitentiary I have ever laid my eyes on.
I want you to fry
that motherfucker.
Okay?
Oh, what brings you here?
Not Sunday school.
You going to want an attorney
present before he closes the door?
An attorney?
I've got an attorney.
Whatever.
Thanks, Deputy. You can go.
I've come here
to offer you a deal.
- A deal?
- That's right.
Your full confession,
in return for an appeal of leniency.
Why would I do that?
You don't even have
a witness anymore.
Others have come forward.
Bluffing!
Does the name Kyle Waterman
sound like a bluff to you?
He's not a little kid anymore.
He's 17 years old, going on 30,
hates baseball cards, and probably
wouldn't believe in the death penalty,
if it wasn't for you.
You gettin' me on
any of this, Jenkins?
You have exactly four hours.
Go.
- Retest.
- Shit.
Retest.
Pass.
- Thank you.
- Congratulations.
Good morning, Trent.
Got your newspapers.
- Thanks, Dyer.
- Trent, before you deliver those,
I think you should know what
you're passing out this morning.
Yeah, papers.
There are some headlines in there
are going to shake up the island.
- How so?
- Down Portland way,
a child molester.
He confessed.
Used to live out here,
was a preacher?
Over 20 victims they know of,
most from the mainland, but,
a few of them are still
living right on this island.
Are you serious?
Is... Is there anyone I know?
Doesn't say, but ages were mentioned,
so was the trailer park.
Donny?!
Ain't too hard
to do the math, Trent.
Someone already dropped
his name over the radio.
Sorry to be the one
to tell you that.
I thought I told you...
to stay away.
- Where's Bridgett?
- She left early for Connecticut.
I warned you about that.
Does... Does she
have an address there?
Yes.
But she asked me
not to give it to you.
Quite vehemently,
as a matter of fact.
Doesn't make any
sense at all, Davis.
Well, well, when
you read this...
The punk in the trailer park,
that's you, isn't it?
And...
according to what's written here,
I'd say that, well,
you were old enough
to know better.
Maybe even part of a ring.
Good riddance.
- Who was that?
- Oh, nobody.
Absolutely nobody.
"And let the beauty of the Lord
our God be upon us:
and establish thou the
work of our hands upon us;
yes, the work of our
hands establish thou it."
Good words to remember.
Thank you for coming.
God be with you.
Good words to remember.
Thank you for coming.
Thank you for coming.
Good words to remember.
Good words to remember.
Wake up, you stupid fool!
You burned that church down,
didn't you, Donny?
You had your chance
to do something about it.
Get out of my house!
Get the fuck outta here!
Wait, Donny!
Donny, wait! There's something
you don't know about last night!
Someone...
Someone died
in that fire, Donny!
There was someone sleeping
in the basement of the church
when you set it afire!
That's right, Donny.
That damn Indian
you used to work with!
You killed him, Donny!
You went and killed him, Donny!
You better get your ass on
that ferry before they find ya!
And don't come back here,
ever!
You killed him, Donny!
That damn Indian
you used to work with!
You don't belong!
You never did!
You never will!
It's all in the past, Kyle.
Where the hell you
think you're going?
Doesn't matter.
Just get out of my way.
I told you, Kyle.
You're not going anywhere.
I need you on
the boat this fall,
and there's no
getting around that.
Find someone else, Dad.
Take that and unpack it.
Do as you're told!
Oh.
I'm leaving!
I'll be catching the 10:15.
That's right. You'll be there!
You'll be there waiting
for me by the ticket booth!
Your arms will be open
and you will embrace me.
You'll apologize.
Apologize for all the
years you abused me,
abused my mother,
and, most of all, Bobby.
You'll hold out your hand,
we'll shake...
and leave it all behind us.
Tomorrow, Dad...
you will be a father for the
first time in my entire life.
And, if I turn around
and all I see is a tourist
standing there...
then...
I'll board that ferry, and when it
leaves the pier, I won't look back.
No, I will make it
a point in my life...
that I will be happy.
Dad, I won't think
about you anymore.
