so I ran away.

I came back here.

I hid.

And rose & crown?

Was a place that Tim and I

used to meet.

I had some earrings made,

and I gave them to Beth.

Why didn't you tell me

about them?

I've never told anybody

anything.

I didn't know how to.

I'm a drunk, Jimmy.

I killed your uncle...

Not your father.

I stabbed him.

I saw my father with the knife.

No.

I saw him.

No!

He was choking me.

I couldn't breathe,

and I grabbed for something.

I didn't mean to.

Oh!

Jimmy, I'm so sorry.

Sorry for your sister

and your partner and...

Find Beth.

And you tell her...

You tell her that I did it.

I killed him.

You tell her the truth.

Johnson:
Doyle.

We got to go.

No!

If I tell you something,

you promise not to hurt them.

You promise me, Jimmy!

Jimmy.

Promise.

Man:
You got five minutes.

Just grab every box you got.

Can you help me?

Johnson, you got this?

Yeah, yeah, I got it.

Go get your files.

Are you looking for Melissa?

Oh, don't be silly.

I'm completely covered.

Come in.

This is hers.

Oh, yes, it is.

Take it.

Uh, she left it in my car.

I... Took her

to the hospital.

I was the one who told her

that Clara was dead.

Poor thing.

Where's Melissa now?

I've been trying her.

At a girlfriend's.

Uh, Heather something.

Grab me a towel, and I'll get

dressed and show you.

Help me out.

It's slippery.

Woman:

A rose.

I'll be down the hall.

Okay.

Johnson, my cousin's

here, back room.

Watch the fire escape.

- Just arrest her.

- I can't.

They've got Melissa.

Wow.

This looks like... I don't

know... some kind of puzzle.

I remember.

You like puzzles.

Want to ride over with me?

Oh, I'm sorry. I can't,

but I'll be happy

to draw you a map.

I know exactly where she is.

I got to use the bathroom.

Don't forget to put

the toilet seat down.

Johnson!

Johnson! Eli Morrison.

She's out here on foot.

I got her car keys, wallet,

and cellphone.

Let me know when you have her.

- Where you going?

I'm going to find Melissa.

Johnson!

Mr. Johnson!

- Hey!

Someone stole your car!

Doyle:
Tony.

Did you get my message?

Tony:
Yeah, brother.

I'm here and so is he.

Should we wait for the cops?

- No.

We can handle this.

- He's up there!

- You okay?

Yeah.

Listen, I want you

to head up that side.

I'm gonna draw his fire

over here. Come on.

Perry!

I'm not here to fight!

Okay, go!

I have a message

from your mother!

I saw her today!

She told me a story!

You think you know the story,

but you don't!

It all ends here!

No more lies!

- Okay?

- Yeah, I'm fine.

Just in case.

If they catch you,

they will kill you.

At the end of the pond.

Second you get service,

call the police.

- Okay.

- Go!

Hey! Hey!

Oh!

Perry!

Your mother tried to make me

promise I wouldn't hurt you.

I couldn't make that promise!

I got your girlfriend!

If you move, I'll kill you.

Drop your gun.

Drop it!

Where is she?

You're gonna watch her die

like you watched my father die

when you stabbed him.

It's my name you're spelling.

Carve it on me!

Don't move!

My father didn't

kill your father.

Your mother did.

She told me!

Liar!

She wanted you

to know the truth!

- Liar!

- Hey!

No!

Listen.

No. No.

No. No.

No.

It's melting.

What is?

What is?

Everything.

I see him.

No. No.

Yes.

Yes.

Do it.

Do it.

Do it.

I can't.

He's my brother.

You're my brother.

It's true.

Your mother told me

today in church.

You're my father's other son.

Melissa:
Clara wanted her ashes

to be scattered in the sea,

but she also wanted a grave

in the ground

to share with friends.

So, let us all put something in,

something... Something that we

need to let go of

so that we can start

a new beginning.

Just like she has.

Billy:
Okay, let's all raise a

glass to our favorite Irish lass,

and we'll toast to the sweetest

girl that ever lived.

Let's get out of here.

If you're around, Maggie...

pay me a visit.

A long one.

I brought death to this island.

I'm sorry.

I know you are.

Do you think you can forgive me?

I can.

I do.

I have something for you.

This is your father's

old camera.

There's film in it.

I think it's time you got

to know him.

So I can see what he was like?

Oh, he was happy.

We all were.

So, where do you go from here?

Home.

I became a cop because of what

I thought my father did.

Wanted to even things.

Turns out I didn't have to.

Well, you're free now.

You can do whatever you want.

When Eli was dying out there,

what did you say to her?

I said a prayer.

I didn't want to kill her.

I know.

You did it for me.

I'm sorry.

You should come back here.

I'm gonna miss you.

Tell you what.

If you want to come back,

you toss this penny

over the ferry

over at that light house

by Brant point.

It's good luck.

Turn around.

Well done, Mr. Doyle.

Sorry for doubting you.

At times, I doubted myself.

Good luck.

Thank you.

Couldn't have done it

without you, brother.

Thank you.

You know you got a little

something on your face there?

What's that, a little dirt?

No, it's a smile.

Be well.

Now what?

Onward.

Man:
Okay, here we go.

A penny for you, a penny

for you, and one for you.

Remember, guys, wait until

we pass the lighthouse

before you throw them.

Come on, Jimmy!

Come on!

We're gonna miss it!

- Come on, Beth.

Take my hand.

Hurry, hurry.

Woman:

Jimmy, Beth, come on.

Here's a penny for you

and one for you,

and remember, you guys, wait

until we pass the lighthouse.

- Come on, get her a penny.

- Come on, for what?

All right, when you see

the lighthouse, make a wish.

Woman:

Make a wish we come back.

- Kids.

- Throw it over!

- Say goodbye to the coast guard.

- Bye, coast guard!

Bye!

- Goodbye, Nantucket.

Bye!

- Bye, Nantucket.

I love you!
