We are mortal.
We need rest.
Physically, emotionally,

Life is a constant
state of unrest.
A constant fight against sin,
temptation, sickness, and pain.
Then death.
(BABY COOING)
Yes, death is our sleep.
A time for renewal, reflection,
and internal peace.

Beth, I, I'm so sorry.
To lose him like this.
Oh God, Beth, you're so young.
It just isn't right.
(BOY TALKING GIBBERISH)
I've spoken with some people
who can help with Lowen.
Beth, you've got to know
you can't take care of him.
(LOWEN BABBLES)
Beth.
[LOWEN] (babbles) Grandma?
Oh.
[BETH] Don't touch him.
- (LOWEN BABBLES)
- I understand
if you need to be
alone right now.
Why don't you spend some
time at Shoal Harbor?
It would do you good to
get back there for a while.
Both of you.
I'm selling your house, Mom.
No one's living there, there's
no point in hanging on to it.
I understand, sweetie.
Just think about our
little boy right now.
You have to keep a
level head for his sake.
I know you're hurting.
Honestly, Mom, I don't
feel anything at all.

(LOWEN SHRIEKING AND LAUGHING)

may be comin' any minute.
Oh my.
So now I'll never get her.
'Cause I can't swim,

I didn't mean to intrude.
I'm your neighbor, Joseph.
Hi, Beth.
And who's this
little gentleman?
[BETH] This is Lowen.
Lowen.
Pleased to make
your acquaintance.
What beautiful golden hair.
You must know my mother then?
Not really.
We're a quiet bunch around here.
People mostly keep
to themselves.
There's just so much space.
It's quite a place, isn't it?
Once you're here, it's
hard to leave. (CHUCKLING)
I've been tryin' to make
my escape for 20 years.
It's beautiful.
It's the water.
The water here is
so special, Beth.
Restorative.
Awakens the spirit.
Do you like swimming?
I love going into the
ocean for a dip, I do.
Wanna go?
Yeah.
[JOSEPH] Come on, let's go.
Okay, come on, it's time
for your nap, partner.

- That's carrageenan.
[LOWEN] That's care-a-geen?
It's made from seaweed.
We use it 'cause it's heavy
and helps the paint
float to the top.
(LOWEN BABBLES INTERROGATIVELY)

Oh, don't touch, not yet.
We're not doing paint yet.

Hello.
Are you living in
the Crescent House now?
Yeah, for a while, I
don't know for how long.
Why do you call it
the Crescent House?
That's the Crescent,
way out there.
It's a rock shelf
under the water.
Goes all the way around
the whole ville.
It caused a lot of
shipwrecks in the old days.
Keeps the water warm, though.
(LOWEN BABBLES)
And do you live around here?
Close by, but this
is my favorite spot.
Thought I'd pick up some trash
today, I sometimes do that.
Lowen.
I think you'll like it
here, the people are nice.
But there are a few you
should watch out for.
Watch out for who?
Dead folk who don't
wanna stay dead.
They've been watching your son.
Who's been watching us?

Everyone's dead.
We're all stuck here in this

Not yet.
That's why I need
the little critter.
He's my way back.
(BETH WHIMPERS)
You know by now you can't
just float on out of here.
You need a vessel.
If you wait around long enough,
one will come sailing by.
Please just tell
me where he is.
(EERIE MUSIC)
They've taken him.
But if we help each other,
we can get him back.
